MARYSVILLE PILCHUCK

Cafeteria won’t reopen

School District officials are examining how to pay for a new building more than four months after the shootings.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The message has been emphatic: Don’t reopen Marysville Pilchuck High School’s main cafeteria.

School District leaders heard

it at a December forum and, more recently, through a computer survey.

Now they’re trying to figure out how to pay for building a new one elsewhere on campus.

The cafeteria has been closed since October when a freshman

shot five friends sitting at a table eating their lunches. Four died.

The shooter then turned the gun on himself.

Since then, many students have been using a makeshift eating space in the gym.

The Marysville School Board has set aside money to help with the design. The district is hoping the state will pay for the actual construction.

“If we do get state money, it could save months,” School District Superintendent Becky Berg said.

The School Board vote allows the district to spend a little more than $150,000 on initial work.

The money will be paid to Educational Service District 112 out of Vancouver, Washington. The See MPHS, Page A2

GOLD BAR — Trees northeast of here are marked with orange and blue in preparation for the state to sell the timber for at least $1.8 million.

The money from the 187-acre harvest is intended to benefit Snohomish County, local taxing districts and the state. But some

county officials and conservation groups want to stop logging on at least some of the land.

The state has owned the mature, second-growth forest east of Wallace Falls State Park since the 1930s. It boasts mostly douglas fir, western hemlock, bigleaf maple and western red cedar. An estimated 26,000 trees are slated to be cut down.

The proposed timber harvest,

The hospital has officially joined EvergreenHealth, a much larger provider, as a way to expand services and regain financial stability.

MONROE — Now it’s official.

A ceremony scheduled Monday afternoon will formally mark the change in both name and business affiliation for Valley General Hospital.

The Monroe hospital will now be known as EvergreenHealth Monroe. It also signifies the final step in a business agreement to make the hospital part of Kirkland-based EvergreenHealth.

The Monroe hospital is joining a health care organization with nearly 4,000 full- and part-time employees. Its 278-bed tax-supported hospital, EvergreenHealth Medical Center, is located on its Kirkland campus. The organization also operates urgent and primary care facilities in Canyon Park, Duvall, Kenmore, Redmond, Sammamish and Woodinville.

Evergreen plans to begin offering new services this year in Monroe, said Bob Malte, chief executive for EvergreenHealth.

These include a 24-hour nurse hot line; 3-D mammography services provided in a van that will periodically make trips to Monroe and Sultan this spring; and hiring an additional obstetrician to provide prenatal services, he said. The organization also is recruiting at least two more primary care physicians to work in east Snohomish County, Malte said.

The Monroe and Kirkland emergency rooms will be more integrated with technology so “when a person goes to the Monroe emergency department or to Kirkland or Redmond, they can be confident of the same service,” Malte said.

Monroe physicians will be able to use telemedicine services, or a television-like connection using the Internet, so that specialists at other EvergreenHealth sites can confer with doctors in Monroe.

Harvest: Some of sale money would go back to the land From Page A1

They said they wanted to preserve Wallace Falls and the state park, protect trails that are being built in the Reiter Foothills Forest area, and develop a plan to balance local concerns with state interests.

The state is legally obligated to generate revenue for counties, school districts and public agencies with its trust lands. The property to be harvested near Gold Bar is part of almost 3 million acres of state trust land the Department of Natural resources manages.

After the sale near Gold Bar, the state would use about a quarter of the revenue for replanting trees and caring for the land, with a small portion put into the state’s general fund.

Snohomish County would receive the lion’s share and distribute the money among local taxing districts, including Valley General Hospital in Monroe, Snohomish County Fire District 26 in Gold Bar, Sno-Isle Libraries and the

It’s a heavy cut. But we’re not taking every tree.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Conservation groups want to preserve at least 20 acres of the proposed timber sale area.

Sultan School District.

Dan Chaplik, superintendent of Sultan schools, said timber money allows the district to improve education without asking people to pay higher taxes.

Since 2000, Sultan schools have received more than $3.7 million from timber sales.

Chaplik said it is unfortunate that the sale has become “mired in politics.”

He toured the acreage in December with officials from the Department of Natural Resources. He said he was impressed with the state’s reforestation plan.

“They’re doing it the right way,” Chaplik said.

The state plans to leave at least eight trees standing on each acre, with thicker concentrations around trails, streams and wetlands. The 1,464 trees that are to remain were chosen carefully to minimize the adverse effects of logging on wildlife and the environment, Fike said.

“It’s a fairly heavy cut,” she said. “But it’s not taking every single tree.”

to preserve public lands along U.S. 2. He is working with other environmental groups to preserve at least 20 acres of the proposed timber sale area. Town wants to prevent logging on the land around new, non-motorized trails that are being built in Reiter Foothills Forest area. He suggested that the county could give local taxing districts part of its own revenue from a smaller timber sale, to make up the loss.

“We’re trying to be reasonable,” he said.

The Reiter trails are being built to provide another way for people to get to

Wallace Falls. Town said they are needed because Wallace Falls State Park is crowded. But he worries people won’t use the new trails because the area will be less aesthetically appealing after it’s logged.

Dan Christian, a recreation steward for the Department of Natural Resources, said the state plans to leave a number of trees that it otherwise would have cut down to ensure the terrain around the trails still looks like a wooded area.

“They could have cut all of these trees because they’re all valuable,” he said on a tour of the property Friday.

The trails near the proposed logging site were planned for hiking, biking and horseback riding within the context of a working forest, Christian said. The state has completed about a mile of trail that leads to a bridge over a stream.

Another bridge above Wallace Falls has also been built but the state did not get grant money this year to finish the trails leading to it.

“Now, we have a bridge

same agency helped with behind-the-scenes work when Marysville Getchell High School and Grove Elementary School were being built. The contract includes additional expenses, up to $434,000, depending on whether state money becomes available.

“If news is good, we will just pay ourselves back with the construction grant from the state,” district finance director Jim Baker said.

Either way, much of the work that would be done is needed for any future construction on the Marysville Pilchuck campus, he said.

The money comes from the district’s capital improvement fund, which does not take away from the day-to-day operations.

The district received about 1,900 responses to its online survey. Sixtyseven percent favored tearing down the cafeteria

and many of those urged the district to build a new campus altogether. Marysville Pilchuck was built 44 years ago. It has 77 exterior doors, which has become a safety concern.

If the district eventually passes a bond measure to rebuild MPHS, it would keep the gym, performing arts center and swimming pool. Each would need some updating, but all are structurally sound, Berg said. So, too, is the stadium.

As for the cafeteria, in the short term, the district is trying to find another stopgap arrangement for student meals.

to the hospital board and management.

The Monroe hospital’s affiliation with EvergreenHealth follows years of financial instability. In 2013, Valley General lost $6 million. Last year’s losses were far smaller, $443,000, helped in part by voter approval in 2013 of a tax increase from 14 cents to 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation.

Specialists such as neurologists and cardiologists are scheduled to be available via the telemedicine link by year’s end, he said.

hospital is projecting a net operating profit of $1 million, which will be used to invest in other hospital programs, said Kay Taylor, an EvergreenHealth spokeswoman.

The money will be used to make sure “that facility is there for the long haul and that technology gets added as well,” Malte said.

Fairfax Hospital, which operates an in-patient mental health facility in Kirkland, will open a 34-bed

adult psychiatric unit in the Monroe hospital by fall.

The $2.4 million unit is to offer programs for geriatric patients, dual-diagnosis patients such as those with addiction and psychiatric problems and patients either voluntarily or involuntarily hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. That unit is expected to employ 50 people.

to nowhere,” Christian said.

He expects about three more miles of trails to the bridge to be finished in the next two years. He said the state is working to compromise on its obligation to use trust lands to generate revenue with the wishes of people who want to use the area for recreation.

Since statehood in 1889 Washington has set aside land to make money for schools and public agencies. State timber revenues are shrinking because forest health is declining and more land is being protected or developed, Fike said.

Harvesting timber on the land near Gold Bar would pave the way for future sales in the area, Fike said.

Once the forest is thinned, the department can put in bridges and build roads get to timber further north.

“It’s a stepping stone to facilitate the harvest beyond that,” Fike said.

“This will have benefits far beyond this sale.”

Owner of 111 cats charged with cruelty The animals, found in an Ebey Island trailer last year, were so unhealthy they all had to be euthanized.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — A Snohomish woman accused of hoarding more than 100 cats in a travel trailer last year is now charged with animal cruelty.

Snohomish County animal control officers in July removed 111 cats and kittens from an Airstream trailer that had been parked behind some blackberry bushes on Ebey Island.

Over months, officers advised Kathryn St. Clare that she had too many cats. They instructed her to take some of the animals to shelters and get proper care for the ones she kept, according to court papers.

St. Clare, 55, reportedly told the officers she was homeless and living out of her pickup truck. She moved the trailer multiple times without notifying the officers, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Cheryl Johnson wrote in

charging papers.

Finally in July, the officers found the trailer next to a goat farm. There were dozens of cats inside. The officers could see that the animals had food and water but the cats looked sickly. St. Clare was given a day to remedy the situation, according to court documents.

The next day the officer discovered that St. Clare had moved the trailer again. An officer located it tucked away behind some brambles on Home Acres Road.

It was about 85 degrees inside the trailer and there was no water or food for the cats. The smell

of ammonia from urine was so strong that officers needed respirators to retrieve the 111 cats inside.

A veterinarian examined the felines. The animals were covered in lice and mites, They were in various stages of dehydration and malnutrition. Their paws were caked in urine and feces.

The cats had feline leukemia and immunodeficiency virus. Many of the cats were hairless and lethargic.

All of the cats and kittens were euthanized because of their untreatable and infectious conditions, Johnson wrote.

The treating veterinarian concluded that the animals had “profoundly suffered” for a prolonged period.

“I can think of no justifiable reason to force an animal to endure such a miserable existence,” the veterinarian wrote.

St. Clare was charged last week with three counts of first-degree animal cruelty. Prosecutors are expected to ask judge to prohibit St. Clare from being around animals while the case is pending.

Taking the challenge

Sultan’s Jessy Moore considers science, education, medicine, police work

Relief is on the way for 116th at I-5

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SULTAN — Jessy Moore is a senior at Sultan High School.

He is an athlete and the vice president of the National Honor Society. Moore, 17, also is in charge of running the salmon hatchery on campus. He plans to renovate the building before he goes off to college, leaving the hatchery better for the next group of young scientists. Moore, of Gold Bar, hopes to join the Army National Guard and attend Central Washington University next year.

Question: Can you tell me about your work at the hatchery?

Answer: I feed the salmon and give tours. I help sustain and take care of the fish. I feed them, measure them and make sure the hatchery is a better place.

I’m hoping to take a teaching assistant position with Mr. Ryan Monger, my biology teacher, next semester. Then I can renovate the building, clean it up and make it look nicer. It makes our school look better.

Q: What has your experience at the hatchery been like?

A: I’ve gained a leadership role and knowledge about what is involved in taking care of the fish.

That goes a long way with work ethic and being responsible.

Q: What has high school been like for you?

A: I’ve had a lot of challenges throughout high school, a lot of them are really personal. Honestly, hardships have shaped me into who I am.

Q: How are you different than you were freshman year?

A: I have a lot more drive to be the best person I can be. My work ethic has definitely improved and I’ve become more responsible. I like the challenge of being challenged. I want to work hard now because it’s going to pay off later.

Q: What are you thinking about for a career?

A: I would like to go into science but I’m not sure yet. I don’t

traffic nightmare — that’s how Greg Miner of Tulalip, and many of his fellow commuters, describe the traffic on 116th Street at I-5.

“The left-turn lanes are short, holding only a few cars. Cars waiting to access I-5 often have to sit in the through lanes, thus blocking traffic,” he wrote. “Any relief in sight?”

Your timing is impeccable, Greg.

Relief is finally on its way to 116th Street as the Tulalip Tribes takes bids on a $25 million project to rebuild the bridge over I-5.

The new interchange has been a “long time in coming,” said Debra Bray, project manager for the Consolidated Borough of Quil Ceda Village. “We have for nine years been putting the project together.”

The Tribes already spent $9 million on design of the project and getting all the necessary permits and other requirements in place.

It is now pumping in 64 percent of the funding for construction of the new bridge decks, although the Washington State Department of Transportation will retain control of the roadway when it’s done.

Construction is expected to begin in mid-April and be done within 18 months. The interchange would remain open to traffic. The south bridge deck would be built first. Traffic would then be redirected there while the existing overpass is demolished and a new north bridge deck is built, Bray said.

The Puget Sound Regional Council and Snohomish County also are funneling money to the project, totaling $9 million.

Meanwhile, the groups have been shopping a final $15.2 million phase of the project to lawmakers in Olympia.

The final phase would widen and reconfigure the ramps on and off the interchange to a “single point urban interchange,” combining the two ramp terminal signals into a single signal with more capacity.

SNOHOMISH — A Lynnwood woman died in a two-car crash near Snohomish early Sunday afternoon, officials said.

The accident was reported around 12:20 p.m. at the intersection of 61st Avenue SE and 64th Street SE, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said the crash

involved a Ford F350 pickup truck and a Buick Skylark passenger vehicle.

The pickup was traveling southbound on 61st Avenue SE and the Buick was eastbound on 64th Street SE. The pickup was driven by a Snohomish man, 32.

Deputies reported that he had minor injuries.

The Buick was driven

by the Lynnwood woman, 59. Her passenger — a 60-year-old Lynnwood man — was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with injuries that were not believed to be life threatening.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Collision Investigation Unit was examining the scene Sunday afternoon.

the body) predict traditional weight loss companies will be obsolete in the next 4-years.

Let’s be honest. For most of us, the absolute ease of losing fat with Shred360™ is much more important than the science of “how it works”. As one Wall Street Investor put it, “By using Shred360™ - you can eat like a normal person, skip the gym, and lose the fat you want while you sleep – so who in their right mind would ever use a company like Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers? The answer, clearly, is no one.”

No more tasteless “diet frozen meals”, no more prepackaged “food”, no more time consuming trips to the gym, and no more clubs to join - PLUS Shred360™ nearly doubles your metabolism and burns fat while you SLEEP – making it the most important breakthrough in weight loss history… and that has mainstream companies worried…

Produced Under Highly Controlled Environmental Conditions In Small Batches, So Supplies Are Very Limited Shred360™ was originally developed for Top Fitness Professionals (a very small market) and was never meant to be the all-around fat burner that it, thankfully, turned out to be. Because of this, Shred360™ is produced under highly controlled conditions, in one of America’s Top Certified Supplement manufacturing facilities, in very small batches… making supplies quite limited. This production method guarantees that Shred360™ is always pure, always safe, and always effective. Shred360™ truly is a “Professional Grade” supplement.

Collision kills Lynnwood woman

LYNNWOOD — A Bothell man died Saturday, five days after his car ended up in a Lynnwood drainage pond, the Washington State Patrol reported.

Christopher W. Kmetz, 41, was taken to Swedish/

Smarts From Page A3

High-occupancy vehicle lanes and ramp metering also would be added.

Finishing touches include safer pedestrian and bike connections.

The existing diamond interchange was constructed in 1971, more than three decades before the outlet mall was built.

Structurally, the bridge has plenty of life left, but functionally it’s at the “end of its design life,” according to earlier state documents.

“The interchange is not just congested. It needs maintenance. It’s in really bad shape,” Bray said.

Congestion is the key driver, however.

One-quarter of the 100,000 vehicles that travel that stretch of I-5 each day get off at the 116th Street interchange — to travel east toward Marysville, or west toward the tribe-owned Seattle Premium Outlets.

Backups on the northbound off-ramp often extend onto I-5. In early project documents, designers wrote that the new interchange would reduce that backup to as low as 300 feet at peak hours. Average vehicle delay would be reduced from 10 minutes to 54 seconds by 2040.

In pitching the project to lawmakers, proponents also stress the economic boosts, including 7,000 new direct jobs in Snohomish County tied to the project’s development.

“Our goal is to choose local companies that can keep the jobs local,” Bray said.

Two earlier phases of work set the stage for the new bridge.

Quil Ceda Boulevard was extended north in 2007, at the northwest of the interchange by the parkand-ride. Following that, 116th Street was widened west of the interstate, with a fish-friendly culvert added to serve nearby Quilceda Creek. The new overpass is the next step, followed by

the area around the marsh, while this larger restoration project is in the works,” she said.

Native plants help provide food for the birds that use the marsh as well as habitat for the salmon that eventually will come to the area during high tide when the Willow Creek project is completed, Brown said.

Puget Sound Stewards will be able to learn about habitat restoration, native plant identification and how to manage habitat restoration sites, she said.

They will help educate the public on why it’s important to have these

His 2003 Honda left the roadway to the east, just

The accident was reported shortly after 6 p.m. Monday.

the ramps when the money is secured.

“When we’re done with this one, we’re going after 88th,” Bray said. “We’re not done yet.”

According to a list of headlight laws compiled

by AAA, the only places where headlights are required to be on at all times are in the far-north provinces of Canada and in Nova Scotia. Otherwise, most states and territories are like Washington, although ours is at the higher end of the visibility requirement — lights need to also be on when visibility is under 1,000 feet, whereas in some states it’s as low as 400 feet.

Failed bills in recent years would have actually increased the state’s sight distance. Other bills had proposed adding adverse weather to the list of criteria. You have to go back to 2007 to find the last proposal to have drivers keep headlights on at all times, in that case on highways. Then-state Rep. John Lovick was among those to sign on.

This year, too, the Snohomish teens are learning how hard it can be to get a bill pushed through the Legislature.

With pressing issues this session, including passing a transportation package and funding schools like theirs, the teens are seeing hopes fade for their bill.

“We’re not very familiar with the process. This is our first time doing everything. To our understanding, it’s kind of dead in the water,” Todd said.

But when they pitched it, “there was nobody who didn’t like the bill. So it would be pretty easy to get traction or tack it onto another bill.”

As long as lawmakers remain in session, there’s always a glimmer of hope.

“You never know what’s going to happen down there. So we’ll just have to wait and see,” Wedler said.

Isn’t that the truth?

Teens push for headlights 24/7 Street Smarts reader Palmer Edwards, of Snohomish, recently wrote asking why the state doesn’t require drivers to keep their headlights on at all times.

“It’s a no-brainer and does not cost anything,” Edwards said.

Turns out some Snohomish High School teens are pushing for just that.

Students in Tuck Gionet’s “Government and Law” class routinely draft legislation and try to find sponsors in Olympia. This year, they found a match with Sen. Don Benton from Clark County, who sponsored Senate Bill 5901. The teens’ bill would, in part, require cars not equipped with running headlights to turn their headlights on when driving.

Seniors John Todd and Nick Wedler, both 18, did a lot of the research and legwork.

“We have a lot of rain, we have a lot of cloudy weather — put two and two together, and daytime running lights make sense,” Todd said.

The change could save the state money by reducing car crashes, Wedler added.

“It just seems like a common sense thing,” Wedler said. “It’s what they teach you in driver’s ed. So we figured, why not try to get a bill passed on that?”

The original idea came from a Monroe woman, who wrote Gionet some years back suggesting a law to turn on headlights whenever windshield wipers are used.

Currently, motorcycles are required to keep head lamps on. And under a related rule, counties or cities can request that the state create a 24-hour headlight zone, if they share the cost of signs and if the roadway meets certain criteria.

interested in joining the Puget Sound Steward program. Volunteers are asked to donate about 25 hours a year to the program.

Volunteers have to be able to lift about 15 pounds, be able to wield a shovel and “be willing to work in all kinds of weather,” Brown said. Work parties for restoration projects typically last about four hours.

Work by the Stewards in the Edmonds Marsh is expected to begin in May. The formation of an Edmonds group of Puget Sound Stewards was made possible by a $17,145 grant from the Hazel Miller Foundation in Edmonds to be used during the group’s first year.

Washington flu season deadliest in years The vaccine was only 23 percent effective this year, according to the CDC

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The deadliest flu season in Washington state in at least five years is winding down, but it’s not yet over.

State health officials say state labs have confirmed at least 120 flu deaths since the season started in September, but only a fraction of those who die from the flu are tested for the virus.

“We know the total is much higher than that,” said Donn Moyer, spokesman for the Washington Department of Health.

Flu death numbers are underreported because influenza may not be listed as a cause of death, testing may not have been performed and some test results may not have been reported to public

health officials.

Last year’s full season left 79 people dead, according to lab reports. Confirmed deaths from the previous three seasons totaled 54, 18 and 36.

The state did not track flu deaths in the same way before 2010, but 60 would be a more typical number of confirmed flu deaths in Washington, Moyer said.

The flu was at its highest level in late January-early February in Washington state. It peaked nationally on New Year’s Day. The state does not track how many people get the flu, because it is so common. Moyer said it’s not clear whether more people died because this was an especially widespread flu season or because the strain was especially virulent.

“Flu season appears to have

peaked, though there’s still considerable flu out there,” Moyer said. There are still people hospitalized with the flu in Washington state and more deaths are likely, he added.

Students at Washington State University kicked off the flu season with a rush of diagnosed cases in late September, but flu cases since the new year have been lower than expected on campus, according to Dr. Dennis Garcia, medical director at the WSU Health and Wellness Services.

Garcia credited an increase in student vaccinations — 300 more than usual — for cutting the season short.

Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted this would be a tough flu season and they were correct,

in part because the flu vaccine wasn’t working very well against the strain that made the most people sick this season.

Overall the flu vaccine was only 23 percent effective this year, according to the CDC. Flu vaccines are 50 to 60 percent effective in their most useful seasons.

The most common strain this year was a mutation of the H3N2 strain. Seasons when H3N2 viruses are most common tend to be the most severe, with higher numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, according to Michelle Harper, health educator with the Washington Department of Health.

Most of the deaths in Washington and across the nation have been in older people with underlying health problems, but one previously healthy child has died

in Washington this flu season, as well as two healthy people in the 30-to-40-year range.

At least 26 flu deaths have been reported in King County. But the county likely saw closer to 200 flu deaths, including unreported cases, estimated Dr. Jeff Duchin, interim health officer for Public Health-Seattle & King County.

Duchin called it a moderately severe season, but added that it’s the most deadly in the past five years, with more outbreaks than usual in long-term care facilities.

Duchin said next year’s vaccine will likely be more effective since it will include the mutated strain that was not well covered this year and strains of the vaccine usually hang around for a few years.

However, he said, “There is a bit of unpredictability in the influenza business.”

he added.

Having the lab onsite also means much faster turn-around time. Other work, such as denture and partial repairs and relines, can usually be done in the lab the same day.

Northwest Dental receives a lot of inquiries about dental implants.

It’s a great, new technology that can solve multiple dental issues.

One common use for implants is to restore a smile by permanently replacing a missing tooth or teeth. In this application, the implant is topped with a crown and looks just like your own tooth.

This can also protect your other teeth. A gap where a tooth is missing can cause the adjacent teeth to move and create further problems down the

road. Missing teeth should always be replaced by implants or a partial.

Implants can also help denture wearers. Many of Hansen’s denture patients have opted to get implants that dentures can snap to, securing the dentures so they can’t move. Imagine being able to throw away the creams and pastes you once relied on to hold your dentures in place.

Regardless of the denture type, Hansen recommends having the fit checked every three to five years, even if it still feels good. Changes in fit tend to happen slowly over time, so it is better to check the fit before there is a problem rather than after.

Seattle school ditches staterequired test The leadership team at Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School has decided not to give its juniors the new high school tests tied to the Common Core standards.

The refusal to give some state-required tests could make the state lose some federal dollars, state schools chief Randy Dorn said.

School leaders decided to skip the new tests because they say their students are already tested enough. The Nathan Hale leadership team is made up of teachers, administrators, parents and students. They voted 24 to 1 to skip the tests.

LA PUSH — U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer and the Quileute Indian tribe are upset about delays in a dredging project at La Push, on the Olympic Peninsula coast, and they want the Oregon-based contractor held responsible.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing the dredging at Quillayute Harbor, the Peninsula Daily News reported. The $1.5 million project is designed to maintain the tribe’s fishing fleet, which is vital to its economy, and the Coast Guard’s search-and-rescue station, the only such station for 100 miles of coastline.

Kilmer sent a letter to the Army last week alleging poor performance by the contractor, Marine Industrial Construction of Wilsonville, Oregon.

After about three months of work, only a fraction of what was supposed to be dredged has been completed, and the contract’s work period is up. The company’s equipment is due to be removed this week. The project is expected to be put back out to bid.

“I strongly urge you to take action to ensure that taxpayer dollars are recovered to the greatest extent possible and that the federal contractor is held accountable for the failure to complete this critical project in a timely fashion,” Kilmer wrote to Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Army’s assistant secretary for civil works.

But the company, which has previously completed dredging projects for ports of Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, denied any allegations of mismanagement. Its project manager, Michael Harrison, called Kilmer’s accusations “completely wrong and disrespectful.”

Bad weather, high river flows, log jams and undisclosed debris that can’t be pumped — including sunken vessels, tires and fishing nets — caused the delays, he said.

“The bottom line is the condition presented in the contract documents is not representative of what was up there,” Harrison said.

Marine Industrial Construction has been paid about $400,000, but has spent about $1.1 million on the project, he said.

Corps spokeswoman Patricia Graesser said the Seattle District would respond to Kilmer’s letter with updated information this week.

“As part of the path forward, the Seattle District staff is developing plans, specifications, and environmental coordination for a potential new contract action, with the goal of completing dredging this fall,” she said in a prepared statement Thursday.

Officials with the Quileute tribe, which has a $4 millionper-year fishing industry, are backing Kilmer’s effort.

His district includes the North Olympic Peninsula.

“We’d like to thank Rep. Kilmer for his support in trying to bring a reasonable resolution to this ongoing issue,” tribal Chairman Chas Woodruff said in a statement.

“As someone with 24 years’ dredging experience, I expressed early on to the Army Corps of Engineers that we would face an uncertain outcome under the direction of the chosen contractor due to the equipment selection outlined in his proposal,” he added.

Quillayute Harbor was last dredged in 2011. It was due to be dredged again in 2013, but the work was delayed when Congress failed to pass a spending bill.

Lakewood: Pet deaths blamed on cleaning powder Investigators said a carpet-cleaning powder is to blame for the deaths of two pets in Lakewood. The News Tribune of Tacoma reported that a cat and bird were found dead when a man returned to his home Saturday and discovered a strange odor. Local responders were unable to pinpoint the source of the odor. Hazardous materials teams from Pierce County and nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord were called in, along with support teams from Camp Murray and the state Department of Ecology.

They determined the culprit was a powdered carpet cleaner the homeowner had used. The brand was not immediately disclosed.

Kerry tries to calm Israel’s tension Israeli PM Netanyahu will express his opposition to U.S. diplomacy with Iran when he speaks to Congress on Tuesday.

Associated Press

Florida: Three-day spacewalk is a success CLIFF OWEN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pro-Palestine demonstrators wearing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu masks, led by Code Pink, protest in front of doors of the Washington Convention Center, site of the 2015 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Policy Conference on Sunday.

that world powers and Iran reached in late 2013, and he described that improvement as the “standard we will apply to any agreement” with the Islamic Republic.

Officials have described the United States, Europe, Russia and China as considering a compromise that would see Iran’s nuclear activities severely curtailed for at least a decade, with the restrictions and U.S. and Western economic penalties eased in the final years of a deal.

“We are going to test whether or not diplomacy

can prevent this weapon from being created, so you don’t have to turn to additional measures including the possibility of a military confrontation,” Kerry told ABC’s “This Week.”

“Our hope is that diplomacy can work. And I believe, given our success of the interim agreement, we deserve the benefit of the doubt to find out whether or not we can get a similarly good agreement with respect to the future.”

Netanyahu will press his opposition to a diplomatic accommodation of Iran’s program in his speech Tuesday to

Congress.

“We are not here to offend President Obama whom we respect very much,” said a Netanyahu adviser, who was not authorized to be identified.

“The prime minister is here to warn, in front of any stage possible, the dangers” of the deal that may be taking shape.

The invitation to speak to Congress extended by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Netanyahu’s acceptance have caused an uproar that has exposed tensions between Israel and the U.S., its most important ally.

Thousands mourn slain Kremlin critic Marchers chanted “Putin is a murderer,” and “Putin should go to jail.”

By Sergei L. Loiko Los Angeles Times

MOSCOW — At least 20,000 people marched through central Moscow on Sunday to pay respects to Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, whose shooting death Friday night near Red Square shocked Russia’s beleaguered opposition and the democratic world.

Nemtsov had helped organize the march as a protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s policies in Ukraine.

After the opposition leader’s death late Friday, the event was recast as a mourning ritual for one of the last politicians willing to fearlessly denounce the country’s increasingly autocratic leadership.

DMITRY LOVETSKY / ASSOCIATED PRESS

People carry Russian national flags during a march Sunday in Moscow in memory of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.

Carrying flowers, Russia’s tricolor flag and portraits of the slain 55-year-old Nemtsov, who was first deputy prime minister in the 1990s, the mourners chanted: “We’ll not forget.

We’ll not forgive.” They carried

a banner reading, “These bullets are for all of us!”

As the marchers approached the domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral, a Moscow landmark, they chanted: “Putin is a murderer,” “Putin should go to jail,” and

“Russia without Putin!”

Nemtsov in recent months had often traveled to Ukraine, reportedly to gather evidence of Kremlin involvement in the Ukraine war. Putin has denied that Russian arms or troops are being funneled to the separatists occupying two large regions of eastern Ukraine, but NATO satellite imagery and captured Russian soldiers have undermined those claims.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Nemtsov’s fellow opposition party leader, Ilya Yashin, said Nemtsov was about to publish a report presenting evidence of Russia’s military involvement in the conflict.

Nemtsov was walking home from a late dinner with a Ukrainian friend when he was gunned down just before midnight Friday as he walked onto the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge across the Moscow River from the Kremlin embankment.

GOP pledges help if Obamacare overturned The Republican senators call 6 million people losing health insurance an “opportunity.”

By Alan Fram Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Three leading Republican senators are promising to help millions of people who may lose federal health insurance subsidies if the Supreme Court invalidates a pillar of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

But in a Washington Post opinion article posted online late Sunday, GOP Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, John Barrasso of Wyoming and Orrin Hatch of Utah provide no detail on how much assistance they would propose, its duration or how they would pay for it.

Nor do they address how they would overcome GOP divisions or Democratic opposition to weakening the law.

The article appeared days before Wednesday’s oral

SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. — A husband and wife thought to be one of the oldest married couples in New York have celebrated their birthdays — and their combined ages will be 212. The Journal News reports Duranord Veillard turned 108 on Saturday. His wife, Jeanne Veillard, won’t turn 105 until May. Veillard is a native of Haiti who was a judge there. He and his wife moved to the United States in 1968, raising five children while he worked as a hospital laboratory technician.

The Veillards have been married 82 years.

By Bradley Klapper WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday tried to calm tensions with Israel before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congressional address, yet insisted the Obama administration’s diplomatic record with Iran entitles the U.S. to “the benefit of the doubt” as negotiators work toward a long-term nuclear deal.

On a mission to warn of the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran, the prime minister arrived in Washington for the speech the White House didn’t want him to give.

Kerry said in an interview broadcast before he arrived in Switzerland for talks with Iran’s foreign minister that Netanyahu was welcome to speak in the U.S. and that the administration did not want the event “turned into some great political football.”

That sentiment was a step back from some of the sharp rhetoric between the allies in recent weeks, and Kerry mentioned that he talked to Netanyahu as recently as Saturday.

But Kerry stressed that Israel was safer as a result of the short-term nuclear pact

arguments in a case brought by conservatives and Republicans that could upend the functioning of the 2010 health care law by invalidating the subsidies that help millions afford required health coverage. A decision is expected in June.

The senators’ article is the latest political salvo that

seems aimed as much at the court’s nine justices as at the public. Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said nullifying the subsidies would cause “massive damage to our health care system.”

Congressional Republicans unanimously opposed the law’s creation and have long

worked on plans to weaken and replace it. They have not united behind a specific proposal.

In their column, the three senators acknowledge that if their side prevails in court, 6 million Americans could lose subsidies and many would no longer afford coverage. They call the case “an opportunity” to reshape the law and say they “have a plan to protect these people and create a bridge away from” the statute.

“First and most important, we would provide financial assistance to help Americans keep the coverage they picked for a transitional period,” they wrote.

Without saying how, they wrote that they would also give states more flexibility to create their own health insurance marketplaces. And they blame the health law for problems like forcing many Americans to surrender their previous insurance and doctors.

“People do not deserve further disruption from the law,” they wrote.

A decision striking down the commission probably would doom a similar system in neighboring California, and could affect districting commissions in 11 other states.

The Iranian government has not publicly identified the nature of the charges against Rezaian, 38, other than to accuse him in a statement of participating in activities outside the scope of journalism.

Big year for Lynnwood Convention Center Facility reports record revenue in 2014, does not require subsidy

The Herald Business Journal LYNNWOOD — The Lynnwood Convention Center made $3.1 million in gross revenue in 2014, the highest in the center’s nine-year history.

It was also the second consecutive year the facility did not require an operating subsidy, according to Angie Mykel, the convention center’s general manager.

Last year, convention center users gave the facility’s food and beverage a 94 percent satisfaction rating and a 96 percent overall satisfaction rating.

“Not only did they deliver record numbers, but they also were responsible for the highest guest satisfaction ratings in the history of the building,” said George Sherwin, Lynnwood Public Facilities District board chairman, in a statement.

It is estimated that the convention center is responsible for 15,000 room nights at local

to fundraising auctions and even weddings and memorial services.

How working at home benefitted a Lake Stevens family

By M.L. Dehm The Herald Business Journal

It’s hard to imagine that fish could have anything to do with a budding baseball career. But if it hadn’t been for the Kelliher Fish Co., Branden Kelliher might not have had the opportunities that led to him being selected by the Oakland Athletics in the Major League Baseball draft last June.

Branden Kelliher is one of three children of Jenni and Dan Kelliher, second generation owners of the Kelliher Fish Co. in Lake Stevens.

The family business has allowed them the flexibility to work from home in order to spend more time with their children and the community sports teams they played on.

“We’re so lucky,” Dan Kelliher said from his office in a building behind his home. Adjacent to his office is a recreation room. The walls are covered with sports jerseys from the various teams the couple’s children have played on over the years — baseball, soccer, football and more.

“It’s been fun and we’ve met a lot of awesome people,” Dan Kelliher said. “In fact, a lot of our

good friends we met through our kids’ sports.”

The family firm buys halibut, salmon, bottom fish and crab directly from fishermen or larger processors in Alaska and then resells the seafood to wholesale distributors in this region.

Products can go directly from the airport to the distributor or to a distribution point. This is what allows the Kellihers the flexibility to maintain their company office

at home.

“I sell to large and smaller distributors — those people who deliver to restaurants or retail stores that have a fleet of trucks,” Dan Kelliher explained.

His customers include Seattle vendors such as Pike Place Fish, Pure Food and other dealers in Pike Place Market. He does not usually sell directly to restaurants though he does sell to Anthony’s Restaurant commissary that

distributes fish to restaurants within that chain.

Instead, most of Kelliher’s customers are simply mom-andpop-style distributors who serve the local community.

Loyalty and good business relationships are vital in the distribution industry. You have to have a good name with the fleet in Alaska and pay your accounts on time or you won’t get any future business, Dan Kelliher said.

That was something he learned from his father, company founder William J. Kelliher. The senior Kelliher worked in the fish industry from the time he was 16, spending many years with the historic New England Fish Company that moved its headquarters to Seattle in 1931.

In 1981, years after the New England Fish Company went bankrupt, William J. Kelliher started Kelliher Fish Co. from the basement of his house in Edmonds with just a $500 investment. In one year, the business was making money and incorporated.

“Dan’s dad always believed in the three ‘Fs’ — firm, fair and friendly,” Jenni Kelliher said.

Those are the values they still try to

adhere to in the company today.

In 2001, William Kelliher died and Dan and Jenni Kelliher took the reins. They decided to keep overheads low and work from their own home, as Dan’s father had.

Over the following years the company office moved, along with the Kellihers, from a desk in an apartment to a house in Snohomish, before finally settling into the large family home in Lake Stevens.

The company did well in the pre-recession years, experiencing million-dollar sales some months. They managed to make it through the recession in part, they believe, to the low overhead of doing business from home.

And they’re still doing well even though the industry as a whole isn’t as strong as it once was. New fishing quotas have made some parts of their business more difficult.

“Things are changing,” Dan Kelliher said. “I would like to say that one of the kids someday might like to be third generation but I’m just not sure if that’s going to happen because the little guys like myself get squeezed out.”

Value workers as shareholders shareholder payouts, which have nearly doubled as a share of corporate assets since the 1980s.

Companies even borrow money to make the shareholder payouts, because with low interest rates, it’s a cheap way to push stock prices higher, the Post reported.

The project calls the 1980s the “shareholder revolution,” which began with hostile takeovers and investors demanding more control over the firm’s cash. Rather than putting profits into expansion and employee welfare, managers would pay them out in dividends, the Post reported.

Wal-Mart and McDonald’s are just two well-known players in the “shareholder revolution,” while Apple, Google and Facebook are newer converts to the system.

The Walton family, heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune, is the richest family in the U.S. In 2014, three Waltons — Rob, Jim, and Alice (and the various entities that they control) — received

an estimated $3.1 billion in Wal-Mart dividends from their majority stake in the company. Wal-Mart associates make an average of $8.81 an hour.

Last week, Wal-Mart announced it was going to give employees pay raises, quite welcome news. If the tighwadiest of them all can offer raises, perhaps other companies will follow suit.

McDonald’s, still the king of fast food despite falling sales in the past few years, decided last year to deliver up $20 billion in shareholder payouts over the next three years, The Wall Street Journal reported. Between 2011 and 2013, McDonald’s buybacks and dividends totaled $16.4 billion, according to securities filings. Meanwhile, their employees were among many workers of fast food chains who went on strike in 190 cities in December 2014, (and previous years) demanding a $15 an hour wage.

The Financialization Project

found that while high-tech companies at first didn’t subscribe to the “shareholder first” philosophy, they quickly came under, and capitulated, to intense pressure to do so, the Post reported. Especially Apple, which amassed a lot of cash. But rather than give retail workers raises, (never mind the Chinese workers who assemble the phones) Apple started a stock repurchase and dividend program that will pay $130 billion to investors this year.

J.W. Mason, an economics professor at John Jay College who wrote the Financialization report, told the Post that societal pressure will be needed to get businesses to spread their wealth.

“There is, at some point, a value judgment that we can’t avoid,” he said. “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.”

with 1 plus 1 equals 2, then go on from there. Teachers are all college graduates, aren’t they?

Isn’t that enough?

Close and sell all 295 school district buildings. Allow a small group of successful business men/women to form a private corporation whose sole product is “Successfully Educated Children.” This group will divide the state into five school districts based solely on population. Each school principal is responsible for getting some college level courses on managing finance, personnel, economics and property maintenance. The principal hires his/her teachers who do not get tenure, they get a yearly contract renewed based on performance. And no unions unless 60 percent of the teachers say “yes.”

Office staffing is the principal’s responsibility with staff pay adjusted to the area costs of living level and job skill requirements, but in a range across the state.

If Tim Eyman wrote an initiative telling the voters how much money the school superintendent salaries are and demanded that the Legislature do something about this rip-off of the education funding system, do you think it would pass?

Thankfully, The Herald, even though thrown in my sometimes muddy driveway, I can wipe off the sleeve in the grass, then with a paper towel if needed because of the rain.

The paper is ready to read.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ ENERGY

Move away from oil altogether Regarding the Feb. 23 editorial about oil train safety, “We’ve been warned, repeatedly”: This is America; we are capitalists. We don’t want oil trains in our cities.

So let’s reduce demand for oil and spur investment in alternatives.

Every car manufacturer is now producing or planning electric vehicles. Even in Seattle, solar roof panels charge cars, and batteries store daytime energy for nights. The technology is available, but gasoline powered cars seem cheaper. Not really.

Taxpayers have been helping the oil industry stay strong and profitable for a century.

We pay to build highways, for safety monitoring, and to clean up spills. We paid trillions for military protection of foreign shipments and protection of foreign oil fields. An oil lobbyist pleaded in a 2013 congressional hearing that they could produce only two-thirds as much oil from Bakkan fields without government tax breaks.

Government subsidies for an industry that already holds 95 percent of the transportation energy market keeps the free market from giving consumers choices that will bring down prices.

If the real costs of using oil were included in oil’s price, we would see that electric vehicles, transit, batteries and clean solar and wind energy are cheaper.

Conservative and liberal economists recommend a national, gradually increasing carbon fee on oil and other fossil fuel corporations with all revenue sent back to households. They say that this would increase consumer choice, unleash business innovation, create millions of jobs, raise the GDP and save thousands of lives, maybe ours.

Then write your next editorial about funding education by suggesting that the state Department of Education remove all 296 school districts and most of the personnel, particularly those being paid (notice I say “paid,” not earning) over $1,000 per day.

Yes, fellow taxpayers, well over 100 school district superintendents are paid over a thousand dollars a day. Would The Herald editorial writers ask Randy Dorn this question: What do they do all day for that much money?

Then ask Randy why anyone in the public school system needs to be a Ph.D. (Doctorate) level educated person? To teach one need only be about two steps ahead of the student.

IN OUR VIEW | Reinvesting corporate profits

According to most measures, the economy is humming along, healthy and growing. Which, in capitalistic theory, is a good thing, but it turns out that once again, it’s mostly those who are already wealthy that are benefitting from the economic gains.

A new report from The Roosevelt Institute, a think tank, demonstrates how in the past several years, corporate profits have been increasingly paid back to shareholders, rather than reinvested by hiring more people and paying them better, The Washington Post reported. The Financialization Project, as it’s called, looks at the changes in our savings, power, wealth, and society over the past 35 years.

The main findings include: ■ 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 correlated with

U.S. can’t allow Egypt to fall back into chaos

T

he Obama administration’s decision to engage Egypt is “a case of realpolitik over idealism,” concedes one official. But it’s also the right policy choice.

President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi certainly doesn’t make it easy.

His repression of dissent now rivals that of deposed President Hosni Mubarak.

DAVID IGNATIUS His campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood has broadened to include suppression of secular activists, some of whom helped bring him to power in 2013. Sissi’s subversion of democracy adds another sad chapter to the vexed modern history of Egypt.

But Egypt matters, especially now, when the Sunni Arab world is shaken by the twin earthquakes of Iran and the Islamic State. And President Obama should provide Egypt with economic, political and, yes, military support. The risks of letting Egypt slide are simply too great for a responsible administration to ignore.

If Obama has indeed decided that a strong Egypt is essential, he shouldn’t try to play both sides of the street. The Egyptian people, traumatized by four years of revolution and counterrevolution, need to know that America is truly an ally. Criticism of human-rights abuses should continue, but Washington should make clear that they come from a friendly nation that wants Egypt to succeed.

“Egypt is even more strategically important now than in the past because stabilizing the Middle East is crucial and we don’t have a lot of partners to help. If Egypt were to descend into chaos, that would compound the problem,” argues Stephen Hadley, a former national security adviser who visited Sissi in Egypt this month.

But Hadley cautions that Sissi can’t “oppress his way to stability,” and that he will fail unless he takes a more inclusive approach. Rather than hectoring the Egyptian leader to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood, which for most Egyptians is discredited, Hadley says the U.S. should urge Sissi to forge links with the young protesters who made the Tahrir Square revolution.

In the morality play that is Egypt policy, Secretary of State John Kerry has been the leading advocate for engagement. Last year, he tapped as his informal emissary to Cairo, David Thorne, his classmate at Yale and now a senior adviser at State.

Kerry rightly wants to focus on economic assistance. He plans to attend an “economic development conference” at Sharm el-Sheikh next month that will try to convince investors that Egypt is open for business again. Egypt’s economic case was bolstered by the International Monetary Fund this month, which forecast that GDP growth will rise from its 2 percent average over the last four years to 3.8 percent this year and gradually to 5 percent.

That’s good news, but it will barely restore levels reached in the Mubarak era.

Egypt wants military assistance, too, and it has a better case now that Cairo is actively combating the Islamic State.

After delaying military aid last December, Congress is prodding the administration to release $1.3 billion for F-16 fighters, M1 Abrams tanks and other weapons. A powerful Egyptian military, armed and trained by the U.S., is a plus for regional security.

A strong, U.S.-backed Egypt can stiffen the backbone of the Sunni world and ease fears that Washington is forming a new alliance with Iran. That’s the best argument for helping Sissi — that he can help restore the Sunni-Shiite balance on which regional stability depends, especially after a nuclear deal with Iran.

Egypt is also playing a growing role in the ideological side of the battle against extremism. Sissi last month proposed a “religious revolution” to save an Islamic world that “is being lost by our own hands.” Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University and a leader of Sunni Islam, called last week in Mecca for reform of Muslim religious education to correct “corrupt interpretations” that had allowed extremism to grow.

Why does Sissi shoot himself in the foot by imprisoning journalists and secular activists, damaging Egypt’s reputation and interests? Maybe this self-destructive behavior is the long tail of post-colonial life in a Middle East that is still scarred and deeply resentful of the West.

The way out of this blind alley isn’t to ignore Egypt but to help it regain power and pride.

Girl’s story may lead Idaho to approve marijuana oil

By Kimberlee Kruesi Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — Tenyear-old Alexis Carey has a rare but intractable form of epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome.

The genetic disease causes severe and multiple seizures, which often leave parents guessing if the terror of watching their child seize up will pass or turn fatal.

Her Boise, Idaho, family learned that oil extracted from marijuana had helped other children and wanted to see if it would help Alexis too.

“Parent to parent, when you’re in a small community and 10 people that you know are all having success, that’s no longer anecdotal,” Clare Carey, her mother, said. “That’s hope.”

But Idaho’s stringent marijuana laws do not allow for medicinal use.

The family began lobbying lawmakers to decriminalize the oil almost two years ago.

Now, they’ve got some legislative backers and an upcoming hearing, as Idaho joins a larger movement to loosen laws to allow the use of marijuana extract oil.

Twelve states have legalized the oil while still banning medical marijuana. Virginia legalized the oil Feb. 26. In Utah,

... when 10 people are all having success, that’s no longer anecdotal.

That’s hope.

— Clare Carey, mother of Alexis Carey

KIMBERLEE KRUESI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alexis Carey (left) 10, sits with her mother, Clare Carey, and her sister Alanis Carey, 5, Friday in Boise, Idaho. Alexis has a rare form of epilepsy, however, her family is hoping the Idaho Legislature will decriminalize marijuana extract oil to help reduce her seizures.

lawmakers have given initial approval to let those with chronic and debilitating diseases consume edible marijuana products, while still banning smoking.

Marijuana extract oil first received attention when a Colorado family fought and won for access for their daughter who also had Dravet Syndrome.

It is similar to hemp oil, which is legal in Idaho and

can be bought in grocery stores.

With no known cure for Dravet Syndrome, children are often prescribed a cocktail of medications to counter the seizures.

However, the heavy drugs often come with side-effects that can permanently damage a child’s developing liver, kidneys and other organs.

Proponents of cannabidiol oil, a nonpsychotropic extract of

marijuana, argue that it reduces the amount and length of seizures in children.

Over time, Carey hopes that the oil would also reduce the number of medications her daughter relies on.

“Like any parent, you never give up hope that you can get complete seizure control,” she said.

“Children die from Dravet by any one of the seizures.

Alexis could have a seizure

that may not stop, we never really know.”

Alexis began having seizures when she was two months old. But even in 2003, her mom says a lack of awareness of the disease led to many doctors not automatically suspecting it could be a rare, genetic disorder.

It wasn’t until Alexis lost all speech and potty control when she was 2 that doctors determined she had Dravet Syndrome, Carey said.

Since then, Alexis’ parents have put her on a variety of diets and medications to help reduce the seizures but the disease is tricky to manage. Dravet Syndrome often causes a variety of different kinds of seizures but medications

typically target one particular type.

Alexis’ seizures usually occur at night, which means one of her parents regularly sleeps with her and monitors her sleep patterns. During the day, Alexis requires constant supervision.

While most 10-yearolds freely run and jump around, Alexis walks — albeit sometimes unstably and with help going up and down stairs.

Carey says working with Idaho’s Republicancontrolled Legislature has been easier than anticipated.

Lawmakers who resisted the idea at first blush have warmed up to the idea, she said.

This year, the bill is endorsed by Republicans Sen. Curt McKenzie and Rep. Tom Leortscher.

Both are chairs of the legislature’s State Affairs Committees, panels that often get tossed controversial legislation and have a high bar for clearance.

The measure unanimously passed the Senate committee during its introduction hearing, which means it now goes on to a full hearing in front of the committee.

Yet the bill must survive a Statehouse that approved a resolution in 2013 vowing never to legalize marijuana for any purpose.

Clockmaker school at Eastern Oregon prison keeps on ticking

By Kathy Aney East Oregonian

PENDLETON, Ore. — Thinking about going to clockmaker school? You might have trouble getting in.

Turns out the only fullscale clock school in the country is inside Pendleton’s prison. That was the surprising discovery made about a year ago by the wife of California clockmaker Henri Klein.

Viviane Klein decided to give away her deceased husband’s massive cache of clocks, tools and books to a school dedicated to clock making and wanted advice on which one.

She called the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors in Pennsylvania and learned something startling.

“They told me there were no schools left,” she said. “The only school they knew about was in a penitentiary in Pendleton. They got me in touch with Gary.”

Gary was Gary Kopperud, master clockmaker and EOCI instructor who started teaching clock classes at the prison 18 years ago. At the end of

training, students receive a certificate showing mastery in the trade. Shortly after Klein’s call, Kopperud received a head’s up from a NAWCC representative that he was about to receive a mother lode of clocks and parts. Kopperud, who also has a design and drafting company, telephoned Klein.

“We struck up an immediate friendship,” Kopperud said. “We discussed all the things Henri had done in his life and how he enjoyed teaching and working in his very extensive shop.”

Klein sent pictures.

“The photos were overwhelming — clocks and tools stacked to the ceiling ... lathes, drill presses, several bench grinders, air compressors and on and on.”

And clocks. More than 400 from all around the world. Cuckoos. Hundred day clocks. Grandfather clocks. Nautical clocks.

Regulator clocks. Wall clocks. Mantel clocks.

Alarm clocks. Some worked and others didn’t.

The collection represented numerous styles and decades.

Cuckoos. Hundred day clocks.

Grandfather clocks. Nautical clocks. Regulator clocks. Wall clocks. Mantel clocks. Alarm clocks. Some worked and others didn’t.

It was a clock boneyard of gigantic proportions and Kopperud’s mind was officially blown.

Besides the clocks, there were over 60 years of accumulation by the aerospace engineer-turned-clockmaker. A four-car garage, two rooms inside the Klein home and a shed held treasures, plus boxes of clock hands, chimes, pendulums and other clock innards.

Kopperud planned to hire a truck company to bring the gift, but soon got a shock — it would cost about $20,000 to have everything packed and shipped to Pendleton.

He started conversations with the Oregon Department of Corrections “to see if EOCI would accept the entire estate and find

a way to get it to Pendleton.” It took months of discussions and a mission to California to determine how to crate, wrap and ship the items.

Last fall, EOCI Physical Plant Manager Mike Cleveland sent two men — Tyler Phelps and Tom Moore — to the Kleins’ home in Nipomo, on California’s central coast. The men soon realized they had a big job ahead.

“They walked in and said, ‘Oh, my god,”’ Cleveland said. “They spent three days boxing, crating and shrink wrapping.”

The men loaded the clocks and other items into the 20-foot trailer they had towed to California and hired a 53-foot Freightliner semi-truck.

The load went into a

prison warehouse, but is slowly making its way into the clock shop. This week, the students grinned as they surveyed an array of clocks from around the world spread out on work benches and tables.

Inmate Karl Schneidau, a student for the past year, waved his hand over eight nautical clocks made from brass and nickel.

“You would find these on the bridge of a ship,” he said.

Among the dozens of clocks placed around the room were vintage cuckoo clocks, a Westminster mantel clock from 1900 and a Vienna regulator clock from about 1870.

Richard Courtney stood near a grandfather clock made in Paddington, England, in 1860.

“When we found out how extensive the collection was, it was amazing,” Courtney said. “We were like kids in a candy store.

We are extremely grateful.”

The words would make Henri happy. Klein said her husband had loved the trade so much that when he worked as an aerospace engineer, he spent weekends working

on clocks. Later, he opened his own clock shop and he taught others the trade one by one. It disturbed him to see how many clock makers were dying off.

“He wanted new blood,” she said.

Klein’s clocks will likely benefit more than just EOCI students.

“The idea is to expand the program to other (Department of Corrections) facilities,” Cleveland said. “We’re trying to find other volunteers like Gary.”

That could be a tall order. Kopperud, the inmates say, is an amazing teacher who is instilling his love of clock making into them. The master clockmaker is having a hard time believing his good fortune. He enjoys watching the wonder he sees in the eyes of his students as they inspect the clocks from Germany, France, England, the United States, Austria and Switzerland.

“This is poignant for me,” he said. “These clocks are all different. It’s the full gambit of everything that’s out there.

That’s an extreme value to a student.”

Son, 13, seems to be having panic attacks

daily crossword

Question: My 13-year-old son has developed overwhelming anxiety about going to school. This began a year ago, but has gotten steadily worse since then. At this point, he fights me every morning about going to school, and even if I can persuade him to get in the car, he won’t get out. If I try to force him, he becomes nearly hysterical. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so there have been many days this year when I’ve simply taken him back home.

His principal and everyone at the school say he’s fine once he’s in the building. He’s a straight-A student and doesn’t have any social issues.

When I ask him to explain his fears, he just says he feels scared but can’t identify why. The principal says he should see a therapist. What do you think?

Answer: It sounds to me — but this is by no means a diagnosis — that your son is having panic attacks.

If so, that’s not the same, really, as school phobia. Having experienced several panic attacks in my younger days, I can attest that they are paralyzing and kick in a strong “flight” response. They come on suddenly, are overwhelming, and usually end as quickly as they start; thus the report that your son is fine once he’s in the school building. That would not be the case if this was school phobia. Your son’s inability to explain his fear is also typical. Your

CLASSIC PEANUTS

JOHN ROSEMOND Living with chiLdren description further indicates that other than this isolated issue, your son is well-adjusted.

Generally speaking, a school’s internal resources are inadequate to deal with a situation of this sort; therefore, the recommendation that your son see a therapist. I’m in no position to comment on that advice, but I will say that I’m very cautious and conservative when it comes to recommending therapy for a child or adolescent, no matter the nature of the problem. There are some therapists who have very good track records with kids, and there are some who do not. Furthermore, a therapist who would probe for underlying emotional issues might spend a good amount of your money barking up the wrong tree.

If in fact your son is a well-adjusted kid who’s simply having inexplicable and very situation-specific panic attacks, then it might make more sense for him to see someone

Let me make something very clear: I am not saying that your son should not see a therapist. Without doing an evaluation that would include talking to you, your son, his principal and his teachers, I’m unable to give a yea or nay on that.

I’m simply saying that should you decide to go in that direction, you should do so with eyes wide open.

I do know this: Panic attacks and other problems with overwhelming anxiety are not uncommon for tweens and young teens, even otherwise socially and mentally healthy teens. Furthermore, problems of this sort with kids this age often disappear as quickly as they appeared. They are not discipline problems, and treating them as such can make matters worse.

Since you’re a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling may be a solution. Given that your son is managing to keep up with his schoolwork and make excellent grades, he is effectively already homeschooling himself. Since he’s obviously a self-starter, homeschooling should not require much time or involvement on your part. It would give him time to get a grip on his anxieties, which he’s only going to do if he’s under no pressure.

Fiance shows more love to pets than her

the new york times crossword puzzle

Dear Abby: My fiance, “Bubba,” and I have a small disagreement that I would love your take on. He constantly complains that he’s too tired, or annoyed or busy, to show me romantic or friendly affection and attention. But he goes out of his way to snuggle and play with our two dogs and cat.

I get jealous when he kisses our dogs over and over again, or stays up later to play with the cat. He thinks I am overreacting.

Am I being petty, or am I justified in thinking that if he has the time and energy to give affection and love to our animals, he should do the same for the woman he’s about to make his wife?

— Insulted In Connecticut Dear Insulted: You’re not being petty. Bubba appears to be extremely insensitive. Please reconsider your engagement, because if you marry Bubba, you may end up starving for affection for as long as the marriage lasts.

Dear Abby: My motherin-law is now in a nursing home. When my husband’s birthday came around, he was depressed by the fact that it was the first time in his life he hadn’t gotten a birthday card from her.

So, after struggling to think of a Christmas present for her, I went to the dollar store and bought four Christmas cards and four birthday cards (one for each of her children). I took them to her and had her sign and add a personal note to each one.

I addressed, stamped and mailed the Christmas cards. I will mail the birthday ones at the appropriate times during the year. It was an inexpensive gift, and kind of fun! — Sending Love In Cedar Rapids Dear Sending Love: It RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY may have been an inexpensive gift, but I’m sure it was precious not only to her but also for each of the recipients. Your idea was lovely, and thank you for sharing it with my readers.

Some of them may want to emulate it for other holidays or special occasions.

Dear Abby: Three years ago, our son, who is in his 50s, cut off all communication with us and our side of the family. He is selfemployed, a hard worker and has three siblings.

He wanted us to co-sign on a loan for a house in another state. The payments would have run us out of money in three years, which would have meant putting our own home up for sale. Our reason for refusing was we didn’t want to risk becoming a burden on our children. My husband and I had to help our own parents, so we have been frugal and never lived above our means.

I send postcards to my son to let him know our love is constant. Should I stop and just leave him alone, as he has asked? — Forgotten Mom In Arkansas Dear Mom: Your son should not have expected you to do anything at this stage of your lives that could jeopardize your remaining years. But if it brings you comfort, I see nothing wrong with sending him the occasional postcard.

PeOPLe

With Travolta, it’s always something Kissy-touchy antics at Oscars join star’s litany of ups and downs

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

Since strutting onto the big screen in “Saturday Night Fever,” John Travolta has had a career marked by dramatic ups and downs, from comeback king to Internet meme.

Travolta’s latest step back into the spotlight at Sunday’s Academy Awards was uneasy. He’s been widely pilloried for his touching of Idina Menzel’s face while he cooed “You, you my darling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel.”

Images of Travolta kissing Scarlett Johansson in front of photographers on the red carpet also went viral, turning the star into a social media punch line.

Travolta, 61, has long navigated the ebb and flow of celebrity, relying on his boyish charisma and a few good dance moves for numerous revivals. Here’s a look at his highs and lows: HIGH: Already known to TV viewers of “Welcome Back Kotter,” Travolta emphatically debuted as a leading man in the 1977 disco sensation “Saturday Night Fever.” He pronounced: “This is dancing, not that Fred Astaire thing.

I just move and strut, and THAT’S DANCING!” He

followed it up as Danny Zuko in 1978’s “Grease,” forever immortalizing his high voice and pomadeslicked hair.

LOW: The 1980s weren’t nearly as good to Travolta as the ’70s. He worked consistently, but in a string of flops like “Perfect,” in which he played a Rolling Stone reporter, and “Two of a Kind,” which reteamed him with “Grease” co-star Olivia Newton-John. Many of the films he turned down (like “American Gigolo”) were more successful than the films he chose to make.

HIGH: Though the “Look Who’s Talking” comedies restored Travolta’s popularity, his resurrection was undoubtedly due to one man: Quentin Tarantino.

The director specifically sought out Travolta, even though Daniel Day-Lewis, fresh off his Oscar win for “My Left Foot,” reportedly

wanted the part. Travolta’s performance as Vincent Vega earned him his second Oscar nomination and brought on a rush of work, including the acclaimed Elmore Leonard adaptation “Get Shorty.”

LOW: The “Pulp Fiction” rejuvenation did not last long, though Travolta’s track record (“Michael,” “Face/Off,” “Primary Colors,” “A Civil Action”) was better in the late 1990s than it was in the ’80s. He even had a notable cameo in Terrence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line.” But in 2000, he starred in perhaps the biggest bomb of his career: “Battlefield Earth.” The futuristic science-fiction film was partly based on a novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It was made by independent production company Franchise Pictures (which was later convicted for inflating the budget to “Battlefield

Earth” and went bankrupt), with Travolta putting up money of his own. It’s frequently ranked among the worst movies of the decade.

HIGH: Travolta perhaps never recovered after “Battlefield Earth,” but he continued to co-star in big-budget releases that received mediocre reviews and did modest box office: “Swordfish,” “The Punisher,” “The Taking of Pelham 123.” More recently, Travolta has lined up several films: “The Forger” (a crime drama due out in April), “Criminal Activities” (a mob thriller directed by Jackie Earle ....“In a Valley Haley) and of Violence” (a Western co-starring Ethan Hawke).

Most intriguingly, he’s to play O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro in the upcoming FX series “American Crime Story” by Ryan Murphy (“Nip/Tuck,” “American Horror Story”).

LOW: Travolta’s recent years have been marred by tragedy, lawsuits and increased attention to his long-held religion. His son, Jett, died in 2009 of a seizure at age 16. In 2013, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright published “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief,” a thoroughly researched expose of the Church of Scientology, that Travolta joined in the ’70s. The book and Gibney’s upcoming documentary, made with Wright, are critical of Travolta for being a public face to the controversial organization.

toDay in history Today is Monday, March 2, the 61st day of 2015. There are 304 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On March 2, 1965, the movie version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway musical “The Sound of Music,” starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, had its world premiere at New York’s Rivoli Theater.

On this date: In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Virginia.

In 1836, the Republic of Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico.

In 1865, Congress established the position of Naval Judge Advocate General.

In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote.

In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act.

In 1939, Roman Catholic Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected pope on his 63rd birthday; he took the name Pius XII. The Massachusetts legislature voted to ratify the Bill of Rights, 147 years after the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution had gone into effect. (Georgia and Connecticut soon followed.)

In 1940, the cartoon character Elmer Fudd made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated short “Elmer’s Candid Camera,” in which the title character finds himself pitted against a rascally rabbit that was a precursor to Bugs Bunny.

In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands.

(Philadelphia won, 169-147.)

In 1972, the United States launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, which flew past Jupiter in late 1973, sending back images and scientific data.

— Kathy McCone & Robyn Warren

For both Kathy McCone and Robyn Warren, earning degrees and obtaining positions in their careers of choice were years in the making. That’s because work, marriages, and families came first. Undaunted, each of them attended EvCC while working and raising children until they received their CPA (Certified Public Accountant) degrees. Today, both women are delighted to share their expertise as CPAs at Langabeer McKernan Burnett & Co., P.S. in Marysville. “I was able to attend EvCC while my son was cared for at the Early Learning Center,” Kathy says. “I loved knowing my son was well cared for while I pursued my dream.” Robyn adds: “Don’t give up on your goals! I went to college over 15 years to obtain my four-year degree.” The two still attend EvCC’s continuing education classes annually. “There is such a great variety of classes offered at a variety of times to help the working student or business owner,” enthuses Robyn.

EDH617985 CITY OF MUKILTEO CALL FOR 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DOCKET APPLICATIONS The City of Mukilteo’s annual review process of its Comprehensive Plan starts with a call to residents and interested parties for applications proposing amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or development regulations. This process is referred to as “docketing� which ensures citizens and other interested parties have the opportunity to be involved in the shaping and planning of the City.

The City is accepting docket applications for 2015 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or development regulations until May 4, 2015.

State law allows cities to amend their comprehensive plans only once a year but there is no requirement to do so. This call for docket applications is for potential 2015 amendments. State law also mandates periodic updates of comprehensive plans. The next state-mandated update is due in 2015. All applications submitted will be considered for placement on the 2015 Final Docket by the City Council at a public hearing in mid-2015. Placement on the final docket does not mean the application will be approved. It only means there will be further analysis by city staff and will be considered for adoption by the City Council. Only items placed on the final docket may be considered for adoption.

If you have any questions regarding the docketing process, contact Associate Planner Anita Marrero at (425) 263-8044 or amarrero@ci.mukilteo.wa.us. Application packets are available on t h e C o m p r e h e n s i ve P l a n p a g e o f t h e C i t y ’s w e b s i t e a t www.ci.mukilteo.wa.us or at City Hall, located at 11930 Cyrus Way, M u k i l t e o, WA 9 8 2 7 5 .

The start of the Cactus League will take the focus off Mariners shortstop Brad Miller’s new hairstyle and put it on his play in the field.

Let the games begin The battle between Brad Miller and Chris Taylor to be the Mariners’ starting shortstop should heat up this week once Seattle opens its Cactus League schedule Wednesday.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Brad Miller arrived for camp knowing he’d be under a microscope and, sure enough, there’s been much talk — but little (so far) regarding his battle with Chris Taylor for duty as the Seattle Mariners’ shortstop.

Much of the early focus, instead, centers on Miller’s new longer hairstyle.

“I wasn’t anticipating that,” he laughed. “It’s very polarizing.

There’s no in-between. It’s either no or yes. I just decided to grow it out, and I’m going to go with it.”

For how long?

“I’m not going to commit to anything,” he said, laughing again. “I’m just not. I’ve been asked that a lot. I really like it, though. So I’m going to go with it ... but you never know.”

Attention on the Miller/Taylor competition should heat up this week once the Mariners open their Cactus League schedule Wednesday against complex cotenant San Diego at renovated

saying, “If we don’t have injuries, I doubt if we can take them both” when the Mariners break camp

for the April 6 opener against the Angels at Safeco Field.

Miller faced a similar battle a year ago after the arrival of Robinson Cano forced Nick Franklin off second base. At the time, Miller was much like Taylor is now: someone with just a few months of big-league experience.

“I think getting to go through it last year,” Miller said, “it really is the same mind-set if I have a job or not. You’re in here, and you’re scratching and clawing. My biggest thing is I want to be the guy.”

Miller swamped Franklin a year ago by producing a scorching spring, which included a .410 average in 21 games. But he subsequently opened the door for Taylor by struggling through the season’s early months.

It wasn’t until late August that Miller climbed past the .200 Mendoza Line for good.

“The first month-and-a-half,” he said, “there were just some things I wasn’t able to do. For See M’S, Page C2

A month after the Seattle Seahawks came up one yard short in Super Bowl XLIX against the New England Patriots, running back Marshawn Lynch finally discussed the topic of not getting the ball on the game’s deciding play — a Russell Wilson pass intended for wide receiver Ricardo Lockette that was intercepted by the Patriots Malcolm Butler.

And Lynch being Lynch, his first in depth discussion of the play happened on Turkish television, part of a long interview that also included Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams and Cleveland tight end Gary Barnidge.

All three NFL players are in Istanbul as part of a camp being put on by American Football Without Barriers, a non-profit Barnidge started with former Seahawks tackle Breno Giacomini, who now plays for the Jets.

The reporter conducting the interview cleverly begins the Super Bowl question by saying, “If I don’t ask this, I would get fined.”

Lynch said he was surprised not to get the call on second-andgoal from the 1-yard line, and didn’t exactly go out of his way to put to rest any conspiracy theory about why he didn’t get the ball.

Though again, if the Seahawks really were willing to risk their best shot at a title because they were worried about who got the glory — a pretty far-fetched idea to begin with — then why did they give the ball to Lynch on the previous play, knowing there was a decent shot of him scoring from five yards out?

Also, while Lynch might not know this, Super Bowl MVP ballots were turned in before that final drive began, so him getting the ball or not wouldn’t have made a difference in deciding the award.

“To be honest with you, I would be a liar if I didn’t tell you that I was expecting the ball,” Lynch told NTV SPOR’da. “Yes, I was expecting the ball. But in life, these things happen. Like I told a reporter after the game, it’s a team sport. I had no problem with the decision of the play calling. I mean, you know, I think it was more of a ... how do I say this? When you look at me, and if you let me run that ball in, I am the face of the nation. You know, MVP of the Super Bowl, that’s pretty much the face of the nation at that point of time. I don’t know what went into that call. I mean, maybe it was a good thing that I didn’t get the ball. I mean, you know, it cost us the Super Bowl. I mean, I have full confidence in my teammates to execute that plan because we’ve done it so many more times. But would I have loved to have the ball there? Yeah, I would have. I would have. But the game is over, and I’m in Turkey.”

Angels’ Richards won’t be ready for opening day

By Janie McCauley Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. — Los Angeles Angels right-hander Garrett Richards is expected to begin pitcher fielding drills in about a week as he makes progress from August knee surgery, and the club remains hopeful he could be pitching in games two to three weeks into the regular season for the reigning AL West champions.

“It’s not going to be opening day, let’s put it that way,” manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday.

“He knows it, and it’s great that he’s not going to be able to rush it because our medical staff’s not going to let him. There’s a progression. He has to pass every plateau. It’s great that he’s going to shoot for being ready. He’s working very hard to be ready opening day, but he’s not going to be ready opening day.”

Scioscia said that Richards would throw a bullpen session of 40-50 pitches and do some simulated work Sunday to prepare for fully fielding his position, weather permitting with rain forecast all weekend in the Arizona desert. That work would include agility work in the outfield and making some cuts and turns like he does moving off the mound.

“That’s a substantial step,” Scioscia said. “I think he’s transitioning and getting close to what a regular spring training would be. He’s almost at the end of what you would consider rehab. He’s not fully. They haven’t taken all the reins off because of running and PFP and things like that.

You can try to project, he’s 2-to-3 weeks behind some guys. So if that progression is prorated, you get kind of a window where you can expect him during the season. That’s what we’re looking at.”

Richards has said he is already doing agility drills and running to prepare for pitcher fielding practice from the mound.

Walker to start Cactus opener

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Right-hander Taijuan Walker gets to make a quick first impression Wednesday in his bid to win a spot in the Seattle Mariners’ rotation when he starts the Cactus League opener against San Diego.

Walker will likely be limited to two innings before the Mariners begin shuttling through their relievers. The game starts at 12:05 p.m. Pacific time at Peoria Stadium and can be seen on Root Sports.

“I’m just going to go out there and treat it like a game,” Walker said. “Throw all of my pitches and try to attack the zone.”

A year ago, Walker was battling shoulder soreness, which forced him to open the season on the disabled list and limited him throughout the season’s early months.

“I wasn’t able to do anything (early last spring),” he recalled. “I wasn’t even playing catch. To be able to start a game this spring,

and actually have a spring training, feels good.

“Everything feels real good.

I’m healthy right now. Hopefully, I can just keep it rolling. I can’t wait.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon revealed his probable starters for the first six Cactus League games prior to Sunday’s workout. All are subject to change, particularly with rain in the forecast.

With that qualifier: ■ Lefty Roenis Elias will start Thursday against the Padres.

He is expected to battle Walker for the rotation’s only projected opening behind Felix Hernandez, Hisashi Iwakuma, J.A. Happ and James Paxton.

■ Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez opens his long-shot bid for a roster spot Friday with a start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Glendale. He is out of options, which means he must clear waivers before returning to the minors.

■ Iwakuma and right-hander Jordan Pries are slotted for Saturday’s split-squad doubleheader.

Iwakuma will start against Arizona in Peoria, while Pries will pitch against the Chicago White Sox in Glendale.

■ Happ will make his first appearance in a Mariners’ uniform in next Sunday’s game against Cincinnati in Glendale.

McClendon also announced the pitchers scheduled to follow Walker in Wednesday’s opener against the Padres: Sam Gaviglio, Mike Kickham, David Rollins, Rafael Perez, Carson Smith and Dominic Leone.

Intrasquad game Weather permitting, the Mariners are scheduled to conclude Monday’s workout by playing their only intrasquad game.

Plans call for Ramirez and Pries to start what projects as a five-inning game on the club’s main practice field at the Peoria Sports Complex.

Ramirez will be followed by lefty Joe Saunders, right-hander Justin Germano, lefty Tyler Olson and righty Forrest Snow.

Scheduled to follow Pries: lefties Charlie Furbush and Lucas Luetge and right-handers Stephen Landazuri and Mark Lowe.

The forecast for Monday calls for a 100-percent chance of rain in the Peoria area.

Sucre has edge Jesus Sucre seems a strong bet to retain his job as the backup to starting catcher Mike Zunino despite the Mariners’ off-season move to sign veteran John Baker to a minorleague contract.

McClendon conceded he “would think so” when asked if Sucre has the edge.

“He did a (heck) of a job for us last year,” McClendon said. “But we brought guys in to compete. We’ll see what happens.”

Sucre, 26, batted just .213 last season with no homers and five RBI in 21 games following his July 8 recall from Triple-A Tacoma. Baker, 34, batted just .192 last season in 68 games for the Cubs but has a .247 career average.

McClendon minimized the need for offense from a backup catcher.

“In my mind,” he said, “it’s not extremely important. I want a guy who I know can run a staff, cut down the running game, block and receive.”

Sucre graded out at three runs above average last season in defensive runs saved. Baker graded out at minus-7.

Minoso, baseball’s first black Latino star, dies

By Jay Cohen Associated Press

CHICAGO — When Minnie Minoso broke into major league baseball, the “Cuban Comet” was part of a wave of black players who changed the game forever. By the time he played in his final game 35 years ago, he was a beloved figure with the Chicago White Sox. It was one amazing ride for the seemingly ageless slugger, who died early Sunday morning after helping clear the way for generations of minority ballplayers, including a long list of stars from his home country.

“I know we’re all going to go at some time, but I had gotten to the point where I really thought Minnie was going to live forever,” White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said. “There has never been a better ambassador for the game or for the White Sox than

M’s From page C1

me, there were fastballs right down the middle and away, and I wasn’t covering.”

Miller’s poor start largely obscured a solid finish. He posted a .268/.330/.464 slash (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) after the All-Star break.

Those second-half numbers, as a point of comparison, closely mirrored teammate Kyle Seager’s season-long totals: .268/.334/.454.

“I had to get better,” Miller said, “and that’s what I did. But, no question, when you put yourself in that hole, no matter how well you finish — and I felt I finished pretty strong the last three or four months — it doesn’t matter.

“And I get it.”

Miller’s struggles created an opportunity for Taylor, who

Minnie.”

Minoso, who made his major league debut just two years after Jackie Robinson and turned into the game’s first black Latino star, died of natural causes, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. There is some question about Minoso’s age, but the medical examiner’s office and the White Sox said he was 90.

Minoso’s death comes on the heels of the loss of Chicago Cubs great Ernie Banks, who passed away on Jan. 23 at age 83.

God Bless you, my friends.”’

Minoso played 12 of his 17 seasons in Chicago, hitting .304 with 135 homers and 808 RBI for the White Sox. The White Sox retired his No. 9 in 1983 and there is a statue of Minoso at U.S. Cellular Field.

For Minoso’s many admirers, his absence from the Hall of Fame remains a sore spot.

President Barack Obama, a longtime White Sox fan, praised Minoso for his speed, power and “resilient optimism” while helping integrate baseball in the 1950s.

“Minnie may have been passed over by the Baseball Hall of Fame during his lifetime, but for me and for generations of black and Latino young people, Minnie’s quintessentially American story embodies far more than a plaque ever could,” Obama said.

Minoso made his major league debut with Cleveland in 1949 and was dealt to the White Sox in a three-team trade two years later. He became major league baseball’s first black player in Chicago on May 1, 1951, and homered in his first plate appearance against Yankees right-hander Vic Raschi.

Minoso, a Havana native who spent most of his career in left

field, is one of only two players to appear in a major league game in five different decades. He got his final hit in 1976 at age 53 and went 0 for 2 in two games in 1980 for the White Sox, who hired him as a team ambassador after his playing career and repeatedly lobbied for his inclusion in Cooperstown.

Saturnino Orestes Armas Minoso Arrieta was selected for nine All-Star games and won three Gold Gloves in left field.

He was hit by a pitch 192 times, ninth on baseball’s career list, and finished in the top four in AL MVP voting four times.

Minoso, hit .298 for his career with 186 homers and 1,023 RBI. The speedy Minoso also led the AL in triples and steals three times in each category.

Minoso’ had eight seasons with at least a .300 batting average. He also had four seasons with at least 100 RBI.

arrived July 24 after posting a .328/.397/.497 slash in 75 games at Triple-A Tacoma. And Taylor held his own in 47 big-league games: .287/.347/.346.

“I’ve been there,” he said. “It was only for two months, but I know what to expect. I competed at the highest level. That’s a good feeling to have. Not only that. We were in the middle of a playoff hunt.

“It really doesn’t get much bigger than that.”

Taylor aimed his off-season regimen at arriving for camp in top form. (And no, no change in hairstyle.) He knew his spring performance could spell the difference between the majors and Tacoma.

“I used this off-season as my spring training,” he said. “I had to be in (regular-)season form when I got here. Obviously, that’s tough to do without seeing live pitching. That’s going to be the biggest adjustment.”

The consensus view, which McClendon repeated recently,

frames Taylor as the better fielder, but credits Miller as offering more pop at the plate.

It’s not surprising, then, that Taylor is tweaking his swing in an effort “to get a little more juice in the bat.” His .463 slugging percentage in 258 minor-league games points to his potential.

Concerns over Miller’s defense, along with possessing a viable alternative in Taylor, prompted club officials to ponder a possible position change — perhaps to the outfield or even to a utility role at all four infield spots.

There were also numerous trade rumors, too, particularly around the time of the Winter Meetings in early December.

Miller heard it all; he admits he’s always tracked the Hot Stove as a fan.

“I like the following the sport,” he said, “because with my dad, I’ve grown up just talking about baseball at home. It’s one of those things, I guess, when

you’re part of it, you have to scale back a little bit.

“You can really wear yourself out about it. If you looked (at what was being said on) Oct. 15, then you looked again on Jan. 15, it pretty much went full circle.”

The Mariners’ off-season acquisitions effectively ended speculation of a position change which, Miller said, always left him puzzled.

“I view myself as a shortstop,” he said. “It’s just funny. People say I’m not a major-league shortstop. Well, I’ve played shortstop in the major leagues, and I’ve played it pretty well, actually, I believe.

“You always have to keep proving it but, at times, you look back at everything, and think, shoot ... all of the qualities that people say: ‘He’s athletic; he’s got a good arm; he’s got this; he’s got that ...’

“I think, well, those are pretty good qualities for a shortstop.”

The hair? That’s just extra.

Ex-Husky Welp dies at 51 Associated Press SEATTLE — Christian Welp, the 7-foot German center who holds the University of Washington’s career scoring record and played three seasons in the NBA, has died. He was 51.

The school confirmed the death Sunday. It didn’t provide details.

Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar says Welp’s passing is an “extremely sad loss.”

Welp finished his Washington career in 1987 as the school’s career leader in points,

rebounding and blocks.

He scored 2,073 points for the Huskies and was a three-time all-Pac-10 selection. Welp was the Pac-10 player of the year in 1986 and helped lead the Huskies to consecutive conference regular-season titles.

Welp was drafted No. 16 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1987.

He played two seasons with the 76ers and split the 1989-90 season with Golden State and San Antonio. Welp won nine championships in Europe after his NBA career ended.

Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. The season just started. The calendar hasn’t even turned to spring. Yet Jimmie Johnson has all but wrapped up a shot at his record-tying seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup title.

Quickly establishing he’s one of the drivers to beat — boy, does that sound familiar — Johnson pulled away after the final restart with 13 laps remaining to win Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The six-time champion picked off drivers left and right after starting near the back in the second race of the year, having failed to get in a qualifying run because of inspection issues.

By the end, the No. 48 Chevrolet left no doubt it was the fastest car on the track, cruising across the finish line a comfortable 1.803 seconds ahead of one of the race favorites, defending Cup champion Kevin Harvick.

“I knew through about two sections of corners that we were going to have an awesome day,” Johnson said.

It was the 71st victory of his career, and his fourth at the 1.54mile Atlanta track. That should be enough to give him a spot in the season-ending Chase, going for a title that would tie him with Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

“I definitely think it gives you a sign of who’s going to be competitive,” said Johnson, who didn’t pick up the first of his four 2014 wins until the 12th race. “It takes the pressure off in some ways.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano, who started from the pole, led 84 laps early in the race and, along with Harvick, was expected to be one of the drivers to beat.

Of course, never count out Johnson.

“When he’s on, really switched on, and the car’s in his comfort zone, it’s amazing what he can do with a race car,” said Chad Knaus, Johnson’s crew chief.

Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga., on Sunday.

After a big crash on lap 305 brought out the red flag for 9 minutes to clean up the mess, Johnson found himself at the front of the pack. When the green flag waved, he got a good jump off the line, fended off Hendrick Motorsports teammate Earnhardt going down the backstretch, and was firmly in control by the time the cars came back around in front of the stands.

There was no catching him from there.

“I got outside of him there on that last restart, but I knew in turns three and four I didn’t have the preferred line,” said Earnhardt, whose chances were further damaged when his car struck some debris. “He was pretty quick around the bottom.”

Johnson was among four former champions, along with teammate Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth, who never got on the track during qualifying. Thirteen cars were stuck in the garage after failing to pass inspection.

Harvick, who qualified on the outside of the front row, also was sent to the back after blowing an engine during Saturday’s

practice. He quickly worked his way through slower cars and dominated for long stretches, leading a race-high 116 laps. He settled for the runner-up spot for the second week in a row, having finishing behind Logano at Daytona.

For much of the day, it was clean race even with a new rules package for non-restrictor plate races, which reduced horsepower and drag while giving drivers a device to adjust the car’s balance at nearly 200 mph.

The first big crash came on lap 257, taking out Gordon, Denny Hamlin and Jamie McMurray.

Then, on lap 305, Greg Biffle clipped Joe Nemechek going into the third turn, gobbling up four other cars and bringing out the red flag.

In the four-car melee started by Hamlin, Gordon skidded off the inside of the track and smashed into an exposed inside wall on the backstretch — just beyond a SAFER barrier that would’ve eased the blow.

Track officials had increased the amount of padding in Atlanta after Kyle Busch smashed headfirst into an unprotected wall during the Xfinity Series race in Daytona, leaving him with serious leg and foot injuries. Busch missed his second straight Cup race, recovering at home while substitute David Ragan finished 18th in the No. 18 car.

Gordon’s crash will surely step up pressure on NASCAR to mandate extra padding on all concrete walls.

“I found the one spot where there’s no SAFER barrier,” said Gordon, who wasn’t injured.

“Hopefully, soon, they’ll get that fixed.”

Gordon was making his final appearance at Atlanta, the track where he began his Cup career at the end of the 1992 season. The four-time champion, who plans to retire at the end of the season, is off to a rough start in his farewell tour after winning the pole for the Daytona 500. He finished 33rd in the season opener, where he was also caught up in a wreck, and ended up 41st in Atlanta.

Marysville Pilchuck head coach Bary Gould doesn’t believe the late start will pose a problem for his team.

“My guys, they’re night owls,” Gould said. “Every time we go on summer trips — even this last trip to Pasco (for regionals) — it’s hard to corral them and settle them down. I’m the opposite. I’m a morning person. That’s going to be past my bedtime.”

As for the Tomahawks’ opponent, Eastside Catholic was ranked No. 6 in the final Associated Press poll of the season.

Marysville Pilchuck played the Crusaders a couple times during the summer, including at a tournament at Arlington High School.

“Obviously, they have a few really, really good players,” Gould said, noting stars Matisse Thybulle and Mandrell Worthy. “... We have tons of respect for (Eastside Catholic head coach) Bill Wiley and all they do there.

Really, at this point, we just feel really blessed and fortunate to have the problem of trying to figure out how to matchup against Eastside Catholic.”

Arlington (22-3) will square off against Bishop Blanchet (22-8) in a game that features the Nos. 6 and 7 teams in the 3A girls’ poll, respectively. The Eagles, who are in the state tournament for the third consecutive season, will face the Braves at 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

It’s a little bit earlier than Arlington head coach Joe Marsh would have preferred but he is just happy to avoid the dreaded 9 a.m. game.

“That’s how it works out. The girls are playing early this year,” Marsh said. “You’d rather play at 12 or 2. We’re happy with that.

I’m just happy we didn’t get the breakfast special.”

Marsh was scrambling for film on Bishop Blanchet Sunday night. He has seen one of the Braves’ games — a 63-50 win over Edmonds-Woodway on Dec. 22.

“We know a little bit about them,” Marsh said. “I’ve seen them once this year when they played Edmonds-Woodway but that was early in the year. They were the (3A state) runner-ups last year so I know they’re good.”

Lynnwood finds itself with perhaps the game of the day on the girls side, as the No. 1 Royals (22-2) face No. 2-ranked West Seattle (21-4) in an openinground game at 2 p.m.

Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards said it could be an easy transition for the Royals, who normally practice around 3:30 in the afternoon.

“We have our practices normally start at 3:30,” Edwards said. “At least we’re in the realm.

I think that’s a very good time and hopefully we can get a lot of our Lynnwood High School supporters to come down.”

The game could draw a lot of interest from basketball fans.

Lynnwood played West Seattle in the Edmonds School District summer tournament’s championship game and defeated the Wildcats by “about 10 points,” according to Edwards, who watched one of West Seattle’s games on film Sunday night.

“We’re excited to show that we play some good basketball in Snohomish County,” Edwards said. “We’re excited to go against a (3A) Metro team with an impact player like (sophomore forward Lydia Giomi). It’s a special time. It’s the past three months worth of two-and-ahalf hour practices and working hard and it comes down to this last run here.”

In the 1A tournament at the Yakima SunDome, the King’s girls face No. 6 Granger (22-2) at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in their state opener. The Knights (213), who finished second at last year’s state tournament, take on a Granger squad that placed sixth in 2014.

The King’s (22-2) boys will be the home team in a 9 p.m. matchup with No. 5 La Salle (213) in the final game Thursday night. Led by head coach Rick Skeen, the Knights are in their third consecutive state tournament and have reached the state title game each of the last two seasons.
