Flu has killed 9 in county The peak of the season has been crossed, but it doesn’t mean the illness is gone and more people won’t die.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

EVERETT — This year’s flu season in Snohomish County is the most deadly in five years, health officials say.

The nine people who have died so far from the influenza virus exceed the number of people who died during the H1N1 pandemic of 2009.

For comparison, seven people died during the 2009-10

influenza season, and eight died in the 2012-13 season, according to the Snohomish Health District.

Statewide, 120 people have died from flu-related complications, compared to 79 last year, according to the state Department of Health.

“We do know the peak of flu season has occurred,” said Donn

Moyer, a Department of Health spokesman. “Having crossed the peak doesn’t mean that the flu is gone and there won’t be more reported flu deaths. We’re watching.”

SNOHOMISH — Detectives believe a Snohomish man was lying about there being an intruder in his apartment when he was shot with his own gun last month.

Snohomish County sheriff ’s detectives have closed the case and labeled the man’s claims “unfounded.” The investigation didn’t turn up any evidence of an intruder, and the Snohomish man’s story “lacked credibility,” detective Tedd Betts wrote in a Feb. 17 report.

Detectives suspect that the man accidentally shot himself in the stomach Feb. 1 inside his downtown Snohomish apartment.

The sheriff ’s office does not intend to pursue any criminal charges.

“We’re not recommending any charges because our detectives have real victims of real crimes that they would like to focus on,” sheriff ’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The case has already taken up a great deal of time and effort, she said.

The man, who worked as a security guard, reported coming home after the Super Bowl to find a stranger in one of the bedrooms. The man told detectives that he raced to get his gun from his closet and was attacked. He said the pistol went off during the struggle.

Detectives say the man changed his story over time. He told friends that the stranger was holding the gun when he encountered him. Phone records also revealed that he dialed 911, but hung up, about 30 minutes before he called back to report he had been shot.

When confronted about the first call, the man gave a few different explanations but they didn’t match his original story, Betts wrote.

A neighbor who was out walking his dog saw the first police officer arrive but didn’t see anyone running from the apartment.

Alabama court again halts same-sex marriage

By James Queally and Ryan Parker Los Angeles Times

Alabama’s highest court once again ordered judges not to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, defying a federal judge who struck down the state’s ban on such unions as unconstitutional and ignoring the U.S. Supreme

Court’s refusal to intervene.

In a 148-page ruling published Tuesday night, eight of the court’s nine justices called for judges in the state not to issue licenses to same-sex couples, restarting a legal battle that erupted in January when U.S. District Judge Callie Granade rejected the state’s voterapproved gay-marriage ban.

“As it has done for

approximately two centuries, Alabama law allows for ‘marriage’ between only one man and one woman. Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to this law,” the opinion reads.

“Nothing in the United States Constitution alters or overrides this duty.”

Alabama had asked

the U.S. Supreme Court last month to suspend Granade’s ruling, but the high court refused.

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has repeatedly ordered probate judges, who issue marriage licenses in the state, not to give licenses to same-sex couples. Even after the U.S. Supreme Court let Granade’s ruling

stand, some probate judges refused to issue licenses.

Granade held another hearing and ordered the judges to comply with her order.

The state Supreme Court’s ruling was met with frustration by gay rights advocates.

“The Alabama Supreme Court led by Roy Moore did not even ask for briefing on the constitutional

questions it rushed to get wrong,” Evan Wolfson, founder and president of the advocacy group Freedom To Marry, said on his Twitter account.

Susan Watson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Alabama, said her office was reviewing the decision and declined to comment further.

Racial bias documented in Ferguson police

By Eric Tucker Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Justice Department investigation found sweeping patterns of racial bias within the Ferguson, Missouri, police department, with officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force, issuing petty citations and making baseless traffic stops, according to law enforcement officials familiar with its findings.

The report, which Ferguson city officials said would be released Wednesday, marks the culmination of a months-long investigation into a police department that federal officials have described as troubled and that commanded national attention after one of its officers shot and killed an unarmed black man, 18-year-old Michael Brown, last summer.

It chronicles discriminatory practices across the city’s criminal justice system, detailing problems from initial encounters with patrol officers to treatment in the municipal court and jail. Federal law enforcement officials described its contents on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly before the report is released.

The full report could serve as a roadmap for significant changes by the department, if city officials accept its findings. Past federal investigations of

A boy walks past a memorial for Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson last summer, Tuesday in Ferguson.

local police departments have encouraged overhauls of fundamental police procedures such as traffic stops and the use of service weapons. The Justice Department maintains the right to sue police departments that resist making changes.

The city of Ferguson released a statement acknowledging that Justice Department officials supplied a copy of the report to the mayor, city manager, police chief and city attorney during a private meeting Tuesday in downtown St. Louis.

The statement offered no details about the report, which the city said it was reviewing and would discuss Wednesday after the

Justice Department makes it public.

The investigation, which began weeks after Brown’s killing last August, is being released as Attorney General Eric Holder prepares to leave his job following a six-year tenure that focused largely on civil rights. The findings are based on interviews with police leaders and residents, a review of more than 35,000 pages of police records and analysis of data on stops, searches and arrests.

Federal officials found that black motorists from 2012 to 2014 were more than twice as likely as whites to be searched during traffic stops, even though they were 26 percent less likely to be found carrying contraband, according to a summary of the findings.

The review also found that blacks were 68 percent less likely than others to have their cases dismissed by a municipal court judge.

And from April to September of last year, 95 percent of people kept at the city jail for more than two days were black, it found.

Of the cases in which the police department documented the use of force, 88 percent involved blacks, and of the 14 dog bites for which racial information is available, all 14 victims were black.

Overall, AfricanAmericans make up 67 percent of the population of Ferguson, about 10 miles north of downtown St. Louis. The police department has been criticized as racially imbalanced and not reflective of the community’s demographic makeup. At the time of the shooting, just three of 53 officers were black, though the mayor has said he’s trying to create a more diverse police force.

Brown’s killing set off weeks of protests and initiated a national dialogue about police officers’ use

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PLUMBER Locally Owned and Family Operated Since 1970

of force and their relations with minority communities. A separate report to be issued soon is expected to clear Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown, of federal civil rights charges.

A state grand jury declined to indict Wilson in November, and he resigned from the department.

Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the Brown family, said that if the reports about the findings are true, they “confirm what Michael Brown’s family has believed all along — and that is that the tragic killing of an unarmed 18-yearold black teenager was part of a systemic pattern of inappropriate policing of African-American citizens in the Ferguson community.”

The report says there is direct evidence of racial bias among police officers and court workers, and details a criminal justice system that issues citations for petty infractions such as walking in the middle of the street, putting the raising of revenue from fines ahead of public safety. The physical tussle that led to Brown’s death began after Wilson told him and a friend to move from the street to the sidewalk.

The practice hits poor people especially hard, sometimes leading to jail time when they can’t pay, the report says, and has contributed to a cynicism about the police on the part of citizens.

Among the report’s findings was a racially tinged 2008 message in a municipal email account stating that President Barack Obama would not be president for very long because “what black man holds a steady job for four years.”

Baby allegedly suffered months of abuse

By Diana Hefley and Rikki King Herald Writers

BOTHELL — A baby girl likely was being abused for months before her parents brought her to the hospital with severe brain damage.

Doctors found healing rib fractures that were up to two months old, according to a police affidavit

filed Tuesday in Everett District Court. Six weeks before she was hospitalized, the 4-month-old girl had suffered seizures also likely caused by abuse.

The girl’s father was arrested Monday for investigation of child assault and criminal mistreatment. Jacob Tusken, 21, made a brief court appearance Tuesday.

He was being held on $250,000 bail.

The girl, now 13 months old, suffered permanent brain damage, according to court papers.

She remains in a vegetative state, deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul said in court Tuesday. She relies on a feeding tube and is unresponsive to stimulus, Paul said.

Tusken’s attorney argued that there is no evidence that his client caused the girl’s injuries, and that it was Tusken who ultimately

sought medical care for the child.

Paul argued that Tusken should have sought help sooner, and that he is criminally responsible for withholding that care.

Tusken has been under investigation since May when he and his girlfriend brought their child to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland.

The baby was later moved to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Doctors there concluded that the infant

likely suffered a traumatic injury two to three days earlier and the symptoms had become progressively worse. They also concluded that she had an old brain injury and healing broken bones.

Police wanted to arrest Tusken in May but needed time to build their case, Paul said. She asked the judge to consider Tusken a See ABUSE, Page A4

was a time when it wasn’t a crime to hit your wife. Women couldn’t get a loan without a husband’s blessing, or buy a car.”

Today, the college doesn’t have a separate Women’s Center, but instead a Diversity & Equity Center.

Maria Pena, who started in July as EvCC’s chief diversity officer, said the approach now “absolutely involves gender equity, and a more expanded definition of diversity.” Tucker and other predecessors “paved the way for an integrated effort to promote and advocate equity and social justice on campus, and in the larger community,” Pena said.

OLYMPIA — The Washington state House voted along party lines Tuesday to raise the state’s minimum wage — already the nation’s highest — to $12 an hour over the next four years.

The 51-46 vote sends to the Senate the bill to add a series of 50-cent increases to the $9.47 state hourly minimum wage. With Gov. Jay Adele Ferguson, Inslee longtime Olympia watching reporter, dies at 90, A6 from the wings of the House, the bill drew extended debate in the Democratic-controlled chamber, and Democrats rejected a series of Republican amendments before voting to approve the bill.

The bill moves next to the Senate for consideration, where a companion bill did not get a committee hearing this legislative session. A coalition of mostly Republicans controls the Senate, and several have spoken critically of the effects a minimum-wage increase would have on the state.

Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle, sponsored the House bill and said most workers who earn minimum wage now are adults and have a difficult time trying to stretch their pay to cover the expenses of maintaining a household. “If you work a hard day’s work, day in and day out, week after week, you should be able to pay your own way,” Farrell said.

She and other Democrats said a minimum-wage increase would boost the state’s economy by giving low-income workers more money to spend in their communities.

“This really is about strengthening the middle class,” said Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, the House majority leader. “It’s about making our communities stronger.”

Republicans countered that House Bill 1355 would cut profits and lead to higher prices and fewer jobs. Some businesses could be forced out of state or into closure by the increased cost of hiring Washington workers, several Republican critics of the bill said.

Rep. Matt Manweller, R-Ellensburg and the assistant minority floor leader, gave an impassioned criticism of the bill as failing to recognize basic economic principles. If it costs more to pay workers, he said, companies will hire less workers.

“How can we craft laws if some goods and services are subject to the law of demand and others are not?” he said. “Or is it, Mr. Speaker, that labor stands alone as the only good on the planet that is absolutely inelastic,

oan Tucker is a painter now, a painter and a poet. At 72, she is leaving the battles of her earlier years to younger people.

That doesn’t mean she has given up the mantle of feminism. Nor does it mean Tucker has forgotten heady times in the 1980s when she was director of the Women’s Center at Everett Community College.

“I gave up doing the activism.

Younger people are perfectly capable,” said Tucker, who now

lives in Lacey and has an art studio with her partner.

“There’s a time to chill out and heal and plant flowers, and a time to be in Joan Tucker the middle of the fray,” she said Monday.

In this first week of Women’s History Month — International Women’s Day is Sunday — I found an interview with Tucker recorded in 2010 as part of the “Voices of EvCC” oral history project. The Library of Congress Women’s History Month website is rich with stories from the distant past. Tucker reminds us how recently women were struggling for equality, and how that push continues today.

Tucker worked at EvCC from

1983 to 1994, and for much of that time was director of the Women’s Center. She moved on to Edmonds Community College, and retired in 2003.

She arrived at EvCC at a time when many women were turning to education. Re-entry students were often called “displaced homemakers.”

“The goals were hiring more women faculty, having more content about women’s lives in course work and honoring women,” she said.

Part of that era of feminism, Tucker said, was shedding light on issues that had long been hidden. “We gave everything a name, things that had been invisible. Those things didn’t have names — domestic violence, child abuse, glass ceilings.

Rather, they were things happening to you,” she said. “There

danger to the community due to the child’s injuries and his behavior during the investigation.

“He has a volatile, angry temper,” she said.

Tusken faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted of the assault, Paul said.

Lawyers could seek additional time because the case involved a vulnerable victim. Tusken has no criminal history.

Tusken often was the primary caretaker while the girl’s mother was attending cosmetology school, according to court papers. He also told detectives that he woke up at night to feed and change the baby because the girl’s mother didn’t hear her cries.

In early June, Tusken declined to speak with detectives, and his girlfriend said that they’d been instructed not to talk to police.

A few days later the baby’s mother agreed to be

interviewed. She reported seeing Tusken handle the baby roughly about a dozen times, including one occasion when she walked into the bathroom and saw the baby face down on the ground. Tusken was straddling the infant and he had his hand around the back of her neck, holding her down, court papers said.

Detectives said the woman downplayed the incidents. She also reported that Tusken had assaulted her but said he wouldn’t have hurt her if she had treated him differently, police wrote.

The couple and the child lived with the woman’s grandparents, who reportedly confronted the baby’s parents about the girl’s injuries. Tusken allegedly pulled his T-shirt over his head and didn’t offer an explanation, according to the affidavit.

Detectives seized the parents’ cellphones. They found photographs of the baby with injuries to her lip, left eye and head. One picture taken May 13 shows that the girl’s head appears abnormally swollen, records show. There were

videos of the baby having seizures.

Tusken’s phone revealed that on numerous occasions someone searched online for information about infant seizures, sleep patterns, rib fractures and broken bones.

Police discovered that on March 30 the phone was used to search Google for, “Can a two month old break or crack their ribs?”

Doctors told detectives that a baby’s ribs are pliable and it would take a considerable amount of force to break them. The doctors also said that a person would likely hear or feel the ribs snap.

The online search history also showed that someone was doing research on how much babies can remember, police wrote.

The baby’s mother told detectives Tusken never talked to her about the Internet searches or his concerns about the girl’s health. She said he minimized and made excuses for the baby’s injuries, including the seizures the girl had suffered in April.

If Tusken posts bail, he is prohibited from having any contact with children, including his daughter.

EVERETT — Snohomish County Human Services has named an internal candidate as its new director following the retirement of Ken Stark.

Mary Jane Brell Vujovic, the department’s division manager for housing and community services, took over leadership of the department this month. Stark had served in the position since 2008 and will help with the transition.

The county conducted a national search before promoting Brell Vujovic to the new position. She has worked in the human services field since 1973 with myriad groups including immigrants, refugees and youth, according to a county press release.

Before coming to Snohomish County in 2013, she was the director of strategic initiatives for Workforce Snohomish.

Since coming to Snohomish County, Brell Vujovic has implemented the county’s Investing in Families/Futures Initiative supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

LYNNWOOD — One of south Snohomish County’s critical eastwest routes is set for a transformation in the next few years.

Highway 524 stretches from the Edmonds ferry terminal through Lynnwood to Maltby. In Lynnwood, the route also known as 196th Street SW carries more than 35,000 cars a day.

The stretch slated for construction lies between I-5 and 48th Avenue W., which now has five lanes and plenty of stop-and-go congestion.

The city plans to add a lane in each direction, plus medians and wider sidewalks.

The design phase is underway and is funded by a $1.73 million federal grant, public works director Bill Franz said.

Another $14 million in construction money is

ground floor and sidewalk cafes.

Eventually, the area will include new arterials with 194th Street SW, running east-west, and 42nd Avenue W., running north-south, Franz said.

Community Transit has the City Center area in mind for another rapid transit line, too. That’s a quicker route with fewer stops like the one that runs along Highway 99.

Light rail also is said to be on the way.

“We need people to be able to move through here to support the growth of our City Center and all the jobs and people who are going to locate there over the next 20 years or so,” Franz said.

Design for 196th is expected to continue into 2017, with construction set for 2018.

MACHIAS — A new kind of crosswalk signal is going into service this week on South Machias Road in front of Centennial Middle School.

Pedestrians will press a button to turn on a high-intensity activated crosswalk signal, which then gives oncoming traffic a yellow, then red light to stop.

“The Federal Highway Administration has reported that more than 70 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur on mid-block locations,” Snohomish County Public Works Director Owen Carter said. “The stretch of road in front of

included in the state Senate’s transportation proposal now sent to the House for consideration.

Final action on a roads package by the Legislature isn’t expected until April at the earliest.

The work on 196th is among Lynnwood’s top transportation priorities, Franz said. It’s meant to accommodate the plans for what’s being called a new City Center, and to make a better walking environment, with a boulevard-like appearance, he said. The City Center concept refers to the projected growth area between 48th Avenue W. and I-5, where up to 9.1 million square feet of development is possible in the coming years.

The idea is to break up the longer blocks popular in the 1960s and 1970s into smaller, more walkable blocks, Franz said.

Heel Pain?

Plantar fasciitis (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tis), the most common cause of heel pain, is a localized inflammation of the plantar fascia. Patients with plantar fasciitis describe an ache localized to the inside part of the heel. The typical clinical presentation is pain after rest, most notably occuring with the first few steps in the morning and toward the end of the day, especially after lots of walking or standing.

House readies its version of pot market overhaul

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — With the state Senate passing a bill to regulate medical marijuana, Washington’s House of Representatives is preparing its own version of a pot-market overhaul, one that could cut prices at licensed recreational stores.

The measure, sponsored

by Rep. Reuven Carlyle, aims to make the state’s legal marijuana stores more competitive with the black market. It calls for eliminating the threetier tax structure voters approved in Initiative 502 and replacing it with a single excise tax of 30 percent at the point of sale.

But Carlyle’s bill would take effect only if the Senate’s medical marijuana bill also becomes law.

That’s to encourage a coordinated approach to the recreational and medical systems, the Seattle Democrat said Tuesday.

If a strong medical bill doesn’t pass, my bill selfdestructs. We’ve got to do both, and we’ve got to do both right.

— Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle

“If a strong medical bill doesn’t pass, my bill selfdestructs,” Carlyle said Tuesday. “We’ve got to do both, and we’ve got to do both right.”

Washington’s voters adopted a medical marijuana law in 1998. It allowed patients to grow their own or designate a caregiver to grow it for them, but the state has never had a regulated medical marijuana system. Commercial sales remain illegal except at licensed I-502 stores.

Dispensaries have

nevertheless proliferated, and they have been largely tolerated by law enforcement. But pressure has been increasing to rein in the medical stores and direct recreational users into the new, heavily taxed system set up by I-502.

Seattle officials say they plan enforcement actions against about two dozen medical dispensaries this month.

Many of the medical dispensaries insist that they’re good actors, would welcome state oversight,

already test their products for impurities, and pay taxes. But others don’t, and prices at the medical shops remain lower than in legal stores.

“The Legislature finds the implementation of Initiative Measure No. 502 has established a clearly disadvantaged regulated legal market with respect to prices and the ability to compete with the unregulated medical dispensary market and the illicit market,” Carlyle’s bill reads.

Under the measure, which faces a hearing Wednesday evening in the House Finance Committee, authorized medical marijuana patients would get a tax break: They would not have to pay the regular state sales tax, which is otherwise imposed on top of marijuana excise taxes.

To encourage more cities and counties to allow marijuana businesses, the bill would direct the state to share pot revenue with

jurisdictions that do so. It would also them to adopt more flexible zoning for where pot grows and stores can be located.

Licensed pot businesses would be able to hire other companies to transport their product — currently they have to do it themselves — and the bill specifies that those companies would be allowed to have armed guards.

Last month, the Senate passed a bill, drafted

by Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, to reconcile the medical and recreational markets. Its first hearing in the House is on Thursday.

Among its many provisions, it would create a database of patients, who would be allowed to have more marijuana than recreational users and who could grow up to six plants at home — fewer than the 15 they’re currently allowed.

The measure would crack down on collective gardens, leaving only

four-patient “cooperatives” that would be limited to a maximum of 60 plants. The location of the collective would have to be registered with the state, and it couldn’t be within 15 miles of a licensed pot retailer.

But it would also provide an avenue for existing collective gardens to stay in business, by requiring the state Liquor Control Board, which would be renamed the Liquor and Cannabis Board, to adopt a meritbased system for granting marijuana licenses. Among the factors that could be considered are whether the applicant previously operated a collective garden, had a business license or paid business taxes.

Rivers complimented Carlyle for his work.

“This is a huge task that he’s undertaking,” she said.

“My colleagues on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the Rotunda recognize that we simply can’t let this go.”

Pot growers convicted on fed count in state where it’s legal

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — Three people were found guilty Tuesday of growing marijuana, but they also were exonerated of more serious charges in a widely watched federal drug case in a state where medical and recreational marijuana is legal.

The three remaining defendants of the so-called Kettle Falls Five were all found guilty of growing marijuana. But a jury found them not guilty of distributing marijuana, conspiracy to distribute and firearms charges that carried long prison sentences.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Rice set sentencing for June 10.

The defendants were Rhonda Firestack-Harvey, her son, Rolland Gregg, and his wife, Michelle Gregg.

away tears as she declared victory in the case.

“The truth comes out,” she said, noting that the defendants were growing marijuana for medical purposes and had cards permitting that use. “We would have loved to be exonerated of all charges.”

However, there was no doubt that federal drug agents found marijuana plants growing on their property near Kettle Falls, she said.

Federal prosecutors did not speak with reporters after the verdict, which followed a full day of deliberations by the jury.

Prosecutors asked that the three be taken into custody until sentencing, but Rice declined.

“It’s a victory, but it’s bittersweet,” said Jeff Niesen, an attorney for FirestackHarvey. “They’ve been convicted of a federal crime.”

But while the tougher charges carried sentences of a decade in prison, growing marijuana should bring a much lower sentence, Niesen said.

On Monday, attorneys for the defendants asked jurors to throw out what he described as an overzealous and overreaching case.

Attorney Phil Tefleyan criticized the government’s prosecution of the three, who contend they were growing medical marijuana for personal use in a case that has drawn wide attention over the government’s willingness to prosecute marijuana growers.

“They roped in this innocent family,” Tefleyan told jurors.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Earl Hicks told jurors Monday that Washington state’s stance on marijuana doesn’t matter. He says the question for the jury is, “Is it legal under federal law?”

Under Washington’s current law, the minimum wage goes up every January with inflation. The Employment Security Department said this year’s minimum wage hike affected more than 67,000 workers.

By an identical 51-46 party-line vote, the House also approved a bill Tuesday to require Washington companies with more than four employees to offer at least one week a year of paid sick leave.

began on property owned

by Larry Harvey in early 2011. Zucker said he was approached by Harvey’s son, Rolland Gregg, in Seattle to set up a marijuana plot on the 33-acre parcel about 9 miles north of Colville.

Gregg’s wife, Michelle, and his mother, Rhonda Firestack-Harvey, also participated in the operation, and the five evenly split their crop at the end of the year, Zucker testified.

Larry Harvey, 71, was recently dismissed from the case after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in December.

argued the family grew the plants in violation of federal law. “I don’t believe there’s any question in this case that we’re talking about the manufacture of marijuana,” Hicks told the jury.

Tefleyan placed blame for those plants on Jason Zucker, a former defendant who cut a plea deal last week, just before the trial started.

Zucker, 39, testified Friday that he fronted $10,000 in costs to get the operation up and running. Zucker’s plea deal called for a 16-month sentence.

Zucker testified that the marijuana cultivation

The defendants contend they didn’t distribute the marijuana. But they were barred from telling jurors their claim that they grew the marijuana only for personal medical use. That issue can be raised during sentencing.

Tefleyan said the government could not point to a single sale of the drug by the family. He said the evidence seized by drug enforcement agents during a raid in August 2012 — four pounds of marijuana and about $700 in cash — didn’t support the conclusion the family was dealing.

DNA tool helping biologists find elusive, invasive species

By Phuong Le Associated Press

BELLEVUE — When salmon, salamanders or other aquatic animals poop or shed skin cells, they leave behind traces of their DNA in the water, like clues left behind at a crime scene.

It’s this evidence that Kit Paulsen is seeking as she wades into an urban creek east of Seattle and fills a 4-liter jug with water. In a few minutes, she has a sample that will reveal whether a tiny destructive New Zealand mudsnail is present in the salmon-bearing stream.

At one-eighth of an inch, the snails are incredibly hard to find. That’s why scientists are turning to environmental DNA, or eDNA, an emerging surveillance tool that detects the presence of an organism by analyzing cellular material such as urine, hair, feathers or skin cells that are left behind in the environment.

Whether it’s Asian carp in Chicago-area waters, salamanders in Kentucky or great crested newts in the United Kingdom, biologists are using the tool to help look for reclusive or rare imperiled species, monitor unwanted creatures or gauge the overall biodiversity of a lake or stream.

Dozens of a tiny destructive New Zealand mudsnails are displayed with a penny to show the scale of the creature at a lab in Bellevue.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Intern Zane Beall collects water Feb. 11 from a stream near Bellevue as he helps research whether a tiny destructive New Zealand mudsnail is present in the salmon-bearing stream.

“We’re starting to realize its potential,” said Caren Goldberg, an assistant professor at Washington State University who is managing editor of a special issue on environmental DNA in the journal Biological Conservation. Her lab in Pullman will analyze samples that Paulsen and her team collects.

Paulsen, the city of Bellevue’s watershed planning supervisor, consulted with Goldberg after hearing about the method, and this spring, the city plans to test samples from 22 urban streams and eight beaches.

Bellevue has invested so much time and millions in

salmon habitat and restoration that it can’t afford to let the invasive snails take hold, Paulsen said. The snails multiply rapidly, compete with native fish for food and can’t be eliminated once they infest a stream.

Using eDNA is cheaper and quicker than visual surveys, Paulsen said, though it’s not meant to replace it. At about $50 a test, including equipment and lab costs, the total cost of $12,500 is less than what it would take if employees walked those streams turning over rocks, she said.

Environmental DNA has been used for about a decade to detect

microorganisms in soils and sediments. More recently, it’s been used to monitor endangered Chinook salmon in Washington state, secretive amphibians in Idaho, and protected eastern hellbenders in Ohio and Kentucky.

In one study, scientists found that eDNA was more effective than traditional methods, such as visual searches for eggs, in detecting imperiled great crested newts in the United Kingdom. They concluded it could be used effectively for a national citizen-monitoring program.

Environmental DNA,

however, won’t tell scientists exactly how many animals are there, only that they’re present, or whether the animal is alive or dead.

Material also typically breaks down in the environment in a week or two.

And like any test, there’s a possibility for false positives if certain collection or other protocols aren’t followed.

Still, many supporters say it holds huge potential for conservation biology.

In northeastern Washington, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation had been looking for affordable ways to monitor efforts to reintroduce spring Chinook in the Upper Columbia River.

Spring is a difficult time to detect the fish because of high runoff, and it’s also hard to get out into backcountry areas, said Matthew Laramie, a U.S. Geological Survey ecologist in Boise, Idaho.

He and others tested whether eDNA could be a good tool. They confirmed Chinook salmon in sites

where they were known to be, and also picked up evidence of the fish in areas where they had not been seen before but could actually swim to. Separate tests did not pick up signs of the fish in areas where they could not swim to.

Laramie said it likely won’t replace fish counts, “but it’s a way to weed through a large system and prioritize resources.”

Back in Bellevue, Paulsen and another worker collected water samples and brought them back to a lab where they poured them through a filter. Any genetic material is captured on the filter, which is then shipped to Goldberg’s lab.

Based on the results, city officials will decide how aggressive it needs to be in requiring people to decontaminate boots and other gear at construction projects near streams this summer. “The more tools we have, the better,” Paulsen said. “They’re so small I’m not sure I can detect them at low levels.”

Longtime Olympia reporter Adele Ferguson dies Associated Press BREMERTON — Adele Ferguson, a pioneering female journalist and a longtime reporter and columnist for the Bremerton Sun, has died. She was 90.

Her daughter, Karen Philipsen, told The Associated Press that Ferguson died Monday in Bremerton

after a brief illness.

The Kitsap Sun reported that Ferguson had a career that stretched nearly 50 years. Ferguson joined the Capitol’s press corps in Olympia in 1961, the first full-time female reporter at the Legislature, according to the Sun. Dave Ammons, the spokesman for Secretary of State Kim Wyman and

women’s programs. A former vice president for students services, dean of students, and director of student activities, Haldi said the women’s movement at EvCC started in the 1970s when students formed a Women’s Interest Group, known as WIG. He recalls hearing about women who had gone back to school, but felt so out of step with younger students that they ate lunch in their cars.

The student group evolved into the Women’s Center and programs that

included a “Women on the Move” series of classes, Haldi said. Tucker’s assistant, Laura Hedges, was a major part of those programs and later became the director. Hedges died last year.

Women are now in the majority on campus. “Our college is like almost every college in the country, with more female students than male students,” said Katherine Schiffner, EvCC’s public relations director. In the 2013-14 academic year, the student body was 57 percent women, 43 percent men.

a former longtime Olympia reporter for the AP, said Ferguson was “a trailblazer for women journalists in this state.”

“I had the privilege of working as a colleague for many years,” Ammons said. “She will be missed.”

The Sun reported that Ferguson began working in the Bremerton newsroom

following World War II. She wrote a column and covered City Hall and the police department.

When she began reporting from Olympia, she became famous for her acerbic columns.

In a 2011 biography of Ferguson, commissioned by the Washington State Heritage Center, author John Hughes quoted

on campus to show how doors have opened. Those include the Society of Women Engineers, SLICE (Supporting Parents With Limited Income for College Education), and Women in Advanced Manufacturing. The college recently received a National Science Foundation grant to support female and underrepresented students in advanced manufacturing programs, including outreach to high schools.

Not long ago, TV’s “Big Bang Theory” actress Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, who earns about $1 million per episode, told a Redbook magazine interviewer she doesn’t consider herself a feminist. Time magazine last year called feminism

“the ‘F’ word” in a piece listing young celebrities who are divided over the term.

Tucker doesn’t mind that some young women don’t embrace the label.

“That doesn’t matter to me. I have a granddaughter who is 19. She’s taking on the world and can do anything,” Tucker said. What matters is that “they take care of themselves, won’t allow themselves to be abused, and expect to work for equal pay,” she said.

“They have their own issues. We were strident,” Tucker said. “You don’t need a bullhorn all the time. It’s a process of change.”

Wolves were hunted to extinction in Washington in the early 1900s. The species began to return to the state from Idaho and British Columbia in the early 2000s, and the wolf population has grown to 13 confirmed packs.

Netanyahu assails Iran talks

By David Lauter and Michael A. Memoli Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The scene was as unprecedented as the topic was grave.

A foreign leader, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stood at the rostrum of the House, addressing a joint meeting of Congress, directly challenging the president’s top foreign policy goal as unwise and dangerous.

“This is a bad deal. It’s a very bad deal. We’re better off without it,” Netanyahu declared Tuesday, denouncing President Barack Obama’s negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.

As Republicans loudly applauded and many Democrats glared in anger, Netanyahu laid out the case for opposition to the still-developing deal, which the United States and five other nations have struggled to hammer out with Tehran since 2013.

The speech marked a moment at which the political battle over a nuclear deal with Iran became fully engaged, even though no agreement is yet certain. Obama and his aides continue to say that odds of reaching one are no better than 50-50.

If they succeed, administration officials do not plan to submit an agreement to Congress for a vote — it will not be a treaty requiring ratification.

But they acknowledge that legislation would still be needed to carry out its key terms, which would include gradual easing of sanctions that have crippled Iran’s economy.

A congressional test could come soon. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said after the speech that he would try to bring a bill to the floor that could trigger

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks before a joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday on Capitol Hill.

Who did, didn’t attend Two of the three U.S. House members representing Snohomish County skipped Tuesday’s speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Democratic Reps. Rick Larsen, of Lake Stevens, and Jim McDermott, of Seattle, did not attend. Rep. Suzan DelBene of Medina did, along with Democratic U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. a congressional vote on any agreement. Opponents of the negotiations also hope to win approval this spring of additional sanctions against Iran, an effort Obama has warned against, cautioning that it could derail the talks.

As detailed by Netanyahu, the case against the prospective deal is that it would leave too much of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure intact and allow Tehran to escape most restrictions altogether after only 10 years.

“A decade may seem like a long time in political life, but it’s the blink of an eye in the life of a nation. It’s a blink of an eye in the life of our children,” Netanyahu said. Iran, he said, was an aggressive and dangerous sponsor of terrorism and would remain so a

decade hence.

The deal, he said, “doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”

His argument had three parts: First, Iran’s government cannot be regarded as a normal power open to negotiation and compromise, he said. Instead, he insisted, Iran remains a revolutionary regime committed to overthrowing the established order, one he likened to Germany under the Nazis.

Second, because the regime can never be expected to moderate, a deal that expires, even after a decade, will not provide security to Israel or Arab countries that see Iran as a threat, he said. The result will be a rapid proliferation of nuclear

dangers as other countries in the region seek to offset a potential Iranian bomb.

Finally, he said, the alternative to the current negotiations “is not war,” but a “better deal” that the U.S. could achieve if it is willing to “call their bluff.”

Administration officials and their allies seized on that last point as the weakest element of Netanyahu’s case.

“The prime minister didn’t offer any viable alternatives” to the current negotiations, Obama said in brief remarks to reporters a few hours after the speech, which he said he did not watch but had read in transcript.

“The alternative that the prime minister offers is no deal, in which case, Iran will immediately begin once again pursuing its nuclear program, accelerate its nuclear program, without us having any insight into what they’re doing and without constraint,” Obama said.

The speech had been controversial long before it took place.

House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, had negotiated the appearance with Israeli officials without informing the White House first. Many Democrats saw that as a direct slap at the president.

Eight senators and about a quarter of the House Democrats skipped the speech. Many others attended reluctantly, remaining seated as Republicans rose to cheer Netanyahu’s jabs.

But some Democrats joined in the GOP ovations.

When Netanyahu denounced the “bad deal,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., visibly threw up her hands in dismay. Two rows in front of her, Democratic Sens. Charles E. Schumer of New York and Robert Menendez of New Jersey applauded.

Congress sends Homeland bill to Obama

By Erica Werner and David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bitterly admitting defeat, the Republican-controlled Congress sent legislation to President Barack Obama on Tuesday that funds the Department of Homeland Security without any of the immigration-related concessions they demanded.

Obama promised to sign the bill as soon as he received it, while criticizing Congress for taking “far too long” to pass it.

The House voted 257-167 in favor of the $40 billion spending bill. All 182 Democrats present voted for the bill, while it received only 75 Republican “yes” votes.

The outcome averted a partial agency shutdown that would have begun Friday at midnight. It was a major victory for Obama and the Democrats, and a wholesale retreat for Republicans, who have spent months railing against an “unconstitutional overreach”

by Obama in extending deportation stays and work permits to millions of immigrants in this country illegally.

In the end, Republicans who’d tried to use the DHS spending bill to undo Obama’s actions had little to show but weeks of gridlock and chaotic spectacle on Capitol Hill in the wake of assuming full control of Congress in the November midterm elections. The turmoil brought the Homeland

Security Department to within hours of a partial shutdown last Friday before Congress passed a one-week extension.

On Tuesday morning, addressing an uncharacteristically subdued gathering of House Republicans, Speaker John Boehner indicated he was out of options.

“I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president,” Boehner told his caucus. “I believe this decision — considering where we are — is the right one for this team, and the right one for this country.

“Our Republican colleagues in the Senate never found a way to win this fight,” he said, noting that the matter is now in

the courts. A federal judge last month put Obama’s directives on hold, a ruling the White House is appealing.

Conservative lawmakers who humiliated Boehner last week by voting down a three-week spending bill he proposed did not speak up in the private meeting to dissent or ask questions, people present said.

The measure passed Tuesday funds the Homeland Security Department through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year. It pays for numerous priorities including Transportation Security agents, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, a host of immigration-related functions and grants to local governments.

Ex-CIA chief admits disclosing secrets Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — Former CIA Director David Petraeus, whose career was destroyed by an affair with his biographer, has agreed to plead guilty to charges he gave her classified material — including information on war strategy and identities of covert operatives — while she was working on the book.

The plea agreement carries a possible sentence of up to a year in prison and represents another blow to the reputation of the retired four-star Army general who led U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and was perhaps the most admired military leader of his generation.

Petraeus, 62, will plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material.

The agreement was filed in federal court Tuesday in Charlotte, where Paula Broadwell, the general’s biographer and former mistress, lives with her husband

and children.

In court papers, prosecutors recommended two years of probation and a $40,000 fine. But the judge who hears the plea is not bound by that and could impose a prison sentence. No date was set for

Petraeus to enter the plea.

As part of the deal, Petraeus agreed not to contest the facts laid out by the government.

Prosecutors said that while Broadwell was writing her book in Washington in 2011, Petraeus gave her eight binders

of classified material he had improperly kept from his time as the top military commander in Afghanistan. Days later, he took the binders back to his house.

Among the secret materials contained in the “black books” was information on identities of covert operatives, the coalition war strategy and notes about Petraeus’ discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said.

Those binders were later seized by the FBI in a search of Petraeus’ Arlington, Virginia, home, where he had kept them in the unlocked drawer of a desk in a ground-floor study.

Prosecutors said that after resigning from the CIA, Petraeus signed a form falsely attesting he had no classified material. He also lied to FBI agents in denying he supplied the information to Broadwell, according to court documents.

Petraeus admitted to the affair when he resigned as CIA director in November 2012.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Settlement reached in Asiana jet crash SAN FRANCISCO — More than 70 passengers aboard an Asiana Airlines flight that crashed in San Francisco two years ago have reached a settlement in their lawsuits against the airline, attorneys for the passengers and airline said in a court filing Tuesday.

The settlement with 72 passengers who filed personal injury claims also includes the Boeing Co., which made the destroyed 777, and Air Cruisers Co., the New Jersey company that made its evacuation slides. The filing did not include the settlement amount. Plaintiffs’ attorney Frank Pitre said this is the first set of lawsuits stemming from the crash to be resolved.

The July 6, 2013, crash of Asiana Flight 214 killed three Chinese teens and left nearly 200 people injured. The airliner slammed into a seawall during final approach to San Francisco International Airport.

Utah: Fire station on fire A group of sleeping Salt Lake City firefighters cracked open the door of their upstairs dorm room early Tuesday to find smoke pouring inside. They closed the door and jumped on the room’s fire pole to flee the flames, then quickly returned to the building with a fire truck. Two dozen additional firefighters soon joined them. When the fire was extinguished, nine firefighters were taken to a hospital to be evaluated for smoke inhalation and then released.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the accidental blaze.

Ga.: Executions halted Georgia officials were indecisive about whether to proceed with a cloudy lethal injection drug, at one point saying they weren’t sure whether they checked “this week’s or last week’s” batch, according to a court filing. Ultimately, they postponed the execution of Kelly Renee Gissendaner late Monday night. A day later, they decided to temporarily halt executions until they could more carefully analyze the pentobarbital, which is supposed to be clear.

Gissendaner was convicted of murder in the February 1997 slaying of her husband, was originally set for execution Feb. 25, but it was postponed because of a threat of bad weather.

AROUND THE WORLD Norway: Nobel chairman

The Nobel Peace Prize awarding Norwegian Nobel Committee on Tuesday elected a new chairman to replace Thorbjoern Jagland, whose six-year tenure has been lined with controversies. Jagland will remain a member of the voting panel but was a contentious leader, attracting criticism for his dual role as committee chairman and head of the European Council when the prize was awarded to the European Union in 2012. His leadership also was clouded by the decision to give the prize to Barack Obama in 2009 after he had just been elected president, and the 2010 prize to the jailed dissident Liu Xiabo drew fury from China. The former labor politician was replaced by the panel’s deputy chairman, Kaci Kullmann Five, a former conservative party leader.

Chile: Volcano erupts One of South America’s most active volcanoes erupted early Tuesday in southern Chile, spewing heavy smoke into the air as lava surged down its slopes, prompting authorities to evacuate 3,500 people. Local media showed images of the Villarrica volcano bursting at the top, glowing in the dark amid heavy smoke and rivers of lava. Authorities worried that mudslides caused by melting snow could endanger nearby communities.

Russia: Putin critic buried Thousands of people lined up in Moscow on Tuesday to pay their respects to Boris Nemtsov, the charismatic politician and opposition leader who was gunned down last week in the shadow of the Kremlin. Nemtsov, 55, a deputy prime minister under then-President Boris Yeltsin, was killed late Friday as he and a young woman walked across a bridge in central Moscow a couple of hundred yards from President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin office. Although many in Russia’s opposition assume that Nemtsov was killed on Kremlin orders, Putin has expressed condolences and insisted that his administration will fully investigate the death.

A year after Flight 370’s vanishing Airlines and their regulators are working to improve flight tracking.

By Scott Mayerowitz and David Koenig Associated Press

NEW YORK — At 656,000 pounds fully loaded and the length of six school buses, the Boeing 777-200ER is hard to miss.

Yet nearly one year ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished, taking the lives of 239 passengers and crew in one of aviation’s

greatest mysteries.

Live satellite tracking might have led searchers to the plane but it wasn’t turned on for that trip. The flight was supposed to remain mostly over land, well within the coverage area of ground-based radar stations.

Airlines and regulators spent the past year debating how much flight tracking is necessary, balancing the economic costs against reassuring travelers another plane won’t disappear.

Now a plan is moving forward that would require airlines, by the end of 2016, to know their jets’

positions every 15 minutes.

It’s not the constant measures first proposed by safety advocates after Flight 370 disappeared and it’s questionable if they would prevent another such loss. But it could make for quicker recovery of a missing aircraft and comfort the public. In an age when a missing iPhone or a FedEx package can be tracked, it’s unfathomable that something the size of a Boeing 777 could never be found.

“The public’s perception of what’s acceptable has changed radically,” said Todd Curtis, a former Boeing safety engineer and

director of Airsafe.com Foundation. “The industry’s perception of what’s acceptable is not changing as quickly.”

Among airlines and regulators there is a consensus that tracking all 90,000 daily flights around the world would be too expensive, particularly for developing countries, and have limited benefits.

The industry thinks Flight 370 was an anomaly not likely to be repeated. If airlines, especially those in developing nations, are to spend money upgrading See FLIGHT, Page A10

Bump in maternity tourism

By Amy Taxin Associated Press

IRVINE, Calif. — Federal agents searched three dozen homes Tuesday in California during a crackdown on so-called maternity tourism operators who arrange for pregnant Chinese women to give birth in the U.S., where their babies automatically become American citizens.

The investigation of three alleged birth tourism rings may be the biggest yet by federal homeland security agents who say that, while pregnant women may travel to the United States and deliver their babies here, they cannot lie about the purpose of their trip when applying for a visa.

Authorities believe people from other countries are carrying out similar schemes but recent cases in California have catered to wealthy visitors from China, most likely due to the country’s large population, recent economic boom and ties to the region. It is unclear how many women travel to the United States

NEW YORK — The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months.

For the past seven weeks, the United States has been producing and importing an average of 1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into storage

tanks, especially at the country’s main trading hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to their highest point in at least 80 years, the Energy Department reported last week.

If this keeps up, storage tanks could approach their operational limits, known in the industry as “tank tops,” by mid-April and send the price of crude — and probably gasoline, too — plummeting.

U.S. running out of room to store crude oil

By Jonathan Fahey

Boeing has picked up an order for three 747-8 freighters from Azerbaijan’s Silk Way West. The deal is worth more than $1.1 billion at list price, but actual sales prices are typically negotiated down.

With weak demand for really big airplanes, such as the 747 and Airbus’ A380, Boeing is almost certainly under pressure to offer significant discounts.

Many industry observers expect the 747 line to close this decade after Boeing delivers Air Force One replacements.

There are 56 747-8 freighters in service, according to a news release from Boeing.

General Motors Co. and Honda Motor Co. topped the U.S. government’s list of automakers with the most recalled vehicles in 2014, the biggest year for recalls in U.S.history.

GM had 78 separate recalls for a total of 26.8 million vehicles to finish first. Problems with air bag inflators made by Japan’s Takata Corp. pushed Honda into second place with 18 recalls totaling just more than 9 million vehicles.

By Joan Lowy WASHINGTON — Two major U.S airlines say they will no longer accept rechargeable battery shipments as new government tests confirm that explosions and violent fires are likely to occur when large numbers of batteries enclosed in cargo containers overheat.

Tests conducted last month by the Federal Aviation Administration show that rechargeable batteries, also called lithium-ion batteries, consistently emit explosive gases when they overheat or short-circuit, The Associated Press has learned. In the recent tests, as well as other FAA tests last year, the buildup of gases — primarily hydrogen — led to fierce explosions.

An FAA video of one of the tests obtained by the AP shows an explosion knocking a cargo container door off its hinges and tossing boxes of batteries into the air. The container was engulfed in fire minutes later.

In the test, a cartridge heater was used to simulate a single battery overheating. The heater caused nearby batteries to overheat and the short-circuiting spread to many of the nearly 5,000 batteries in the container. It’s common for tens of thousands of batteries to be placed in a single container.

Citing safety concerns, United Airlines on Monday informed its cargo customers it will no longer accept bulk shipments of the batteries, which are used to power everything from smartphones to laptops to power tools.

running out of storage capacity in the U.S.,” Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Citibank, said at a recent symposium at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

Morse has suggested oil could fall all the way to $20 a barrel from the current $50. At that rock-bottom price, oil companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until the glut eased.

Gasoline prices would fall along with crude, though lower refinery

production, because of seasonal factors and unexpected outages, could prevent a sharp decline.

The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. That’s $1.02 cheaper than last year at this time, but up 37 cents over the past month.

Other analysts agree that crude is poised to fall sharply — if not all the way to $20 — because it continues to flood into storage for See OIL, Page A10

Testosterone overuse The Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors against over-prescribing testosterone-boosting drugs for men, saying the popular treatments have not been established as safe or effective for common age-related issues like low libido and fatigue. The agency said drugmakers must clearly state in their labeling and promotions that the drugs are only approved to treat low testosterone levels caused by disease or injury. The FDA also cautioned that the drugs may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.

in the U.S. is Cushing, a city of about 8,000 people halfway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa at an intersection of several pipelines. The city is dotted with tanks that can, in theory, hold 85 million barrels of oil, according to the Energy Department, though some of those tanks are used for blending or feeding pipelines, not for storing oil.

cockpits, they would rather add collision-avoidance systems that prevent fatalities.

“If you’re too aggressive and stringent in setting up a requirement, countries will just elect not to participate,” said John Hansman, an aeronautics professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The International Civil Aviation Organization, part of the United Nations, outlined the new tracking requirements last month.

A formal vote on the rules is expected by November.

Each country’s air traffic regulator would then have to accept and implement them. Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia just announced plans to be among the first nations to test such tracking.

In the near term, airlines would be responsible getting updates from their planes every 15 minutes.

That could be via ground radar, automatically by satellite while flying over oceans or even having the pilots verbally report their location over radios. The aviation group doesn’t require the airlines to spend $50,000 to $100,000 a jet to retrofit cockpits with

tourist visas and wear loose clothing to hide their pregnancies, and they were promised Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their babies before returning to China.

In one instance, a trainer in China helped fabricate employment and income information for an undercover federal agent posing as a pregnant client to secure a tourist visa. The undercover agent was encouraged her to fly through Hawaii, where customs officers were believed to be more lenient than in Los

new avionic equipment.

Most of the technology is already in place.

British satellite communications company Inmarsat, which helped investigators determine the final flight path of Flight 370, says 11,000 commercial planes already have its satellite connection, representing more than 90 percent of the world’s longhaul fleet. Airplanes flying over land would be tracked by ground radar stations.

Flight 370 also was supposed to be tracked by ground radar.

Airline experts note that if 15-minute requirement was in place last year, Malaysia Airlines would have realized sooner that the plane was missing. Instead, it took more than a week to determine that the jet most likely went down

in the Indian Ocean, roughly 1,100 miles west of Australia.

Still, in 15 minutes a plane can travel more than 150 miles.

The 15-minute standard “is a nice way to say, ‘We’re making progress’ but not really doing anything,” said Ernest S. Arvai, a partner with aviation consultancy AirInsight.

That’s why there is a second phase to the proposed rules.

Any plane with 19 seats or more, built after 2020, would be required to automatically transmit its location every minute if the plane deviated from its route, made an unusual move such as a sudden drop or climb in elevation or if a fire was detected.

Pilots could not disable the system.

New storage is under construction at Cushing, and there are large storage terminals near Houston, in St. James, Louisiana, and elsewhere around the country that will probably begin to take in more oil as prices fall far enough to cover the cost of transporting the oil.

The business netted its owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past two years and helped Chinese tourists deliver more than 400 American babies at just one Orange County hospital, the court papers said.

No arrests were made or charges filed.

Investigators obtained warrants for the searches in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties hoping to collect evidence of suspected crimes, including visa and tax fraud, immigration officials said. They did not release details of their findings.

The key draw for

travelers is that the United States offers birthright citizenship.

Maternity tourists believe citizenship will help their children secure a top-notch U.S. college education and provide a sort of insurance policy should economic conditions crumble in their home country — especially since the tourists themselves can apply for a green card once their American child turns 21.

But the airline is continuing to accept small packages of batteries grouped together or “overpacked” into a single cargo container. Those are the kinds of shipments that the FAA has been testing and that are a greater safety concern.

All three airlines said they will continue to accept bulk shipments of equipment containing batteries or in which batteries are placed in the same package as equipment. Placing batteries

inside equipment like laptops or in the same package as power tools creates additional buffering and is believed to provide added protection, although safety experts say that theory hasn’t been fully tested.

Cargo airlines are continuing to transport the batteries even though they are believed to have either caused or contributed to fires that destroyed two Boeing 747 freighters in recent years, killing their pilots.

Work ahead yet for legislators by their fuels, the legislation would strip millions in the transportation package from public transit and multimodal projects and transfer it strictly to highway projects.

Senate Bill 5987 passed, 27-22, supported by three of the county’s delegation but opposed by four. The seven were at least bipartisan in their opposition or support.

What passed out of the Senate contains much that is worthy of support and crucial to our economy, including $570 million worth of projects for Snohomish County.

Republicans in the Senate, specifically Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, backed the addition of much of that $570 million when Gov. Inslee’s transportation budget outlined only $82 million. We’ve made the point repeatedly how important this investment in Snohomish

County’s transportation infrastructure is, not just for the county and its commuting residents, but for the state as a whole because of what it means for our manufacturing and aerospace industries.

But despite the compromises it contains, more give and take will be necessary, including some attention to that “poison pill.”

The low-carbon fuel standard and the governor’s proposal for a carbon tax are relatively new ideas and will likely require more investigation and discussion before they can gain broader support.

But the Senate bill’s 16-year threat to strip funding for public transit projects, which are key to moving people to and from jobs efficiently and cleanly, is heavy handed and short-sighted.

The cost of a low-carbon

fuel standard would certainly make its way down to the pump, but there’s debate about what that cost would be. The high-end estimate is 20 cents a gallon, although the state Office of Financial Management estimates the cost at 10 cents a gallon by 2026.

But much of that cost could depend on technological advancements in reformulating fuels, and 16 years is a long time to ignore advancements in technology.

The House now has the opportunity to find further compromises in the transportation package. One compromise ought to remove the threat to funding for public transit projects in exchange for a reasonable moratorium on the low-carbon fuel standard while its costs and benefits are studied and gain greater acceptance.

Field would never happen.

But it did. Entrepreneurs were allowed to build expensive homes and demand top dollar. They assured new owners that their money thus invested was worth the price, and the county airport would never become a problem.

Now we know differently.

With the opening of the third runway at SeaTac, there are 30 years of excess runway available. The public doesn’t need additional services. We do have alternatives: Bigger airport now? No. In 2045, if more runway is needed, build another airport where regional growth is going to be — north of Marysville.

Don’t like to drive? Take public transportation.

Business folks in state/out of state don’t like the congestion?

Take a red-eye special.

Plastic sleeves bad for the earth Regarding the letter, “Thanks for keeping the paper dry”: “Do Plastic Bags Really Take 500 Years to Breakdown in a Landfill?” reads the headline of a Slate.com article. Maybe, but maybe not, as the article goes on to explain that the photodegradable process may actually take twice as long to fully disappear.

With many Seattle-area cities voting to ban the plastic shopping bag, I was surprised that Herald readers are still requesting the daily delivery in plastic sleeves.

Another alternative, albeit possibly not cost effective at this time, would be landfillfriendly bio-bag sleeves. In the meantime, I’ve requested that my uncovered paper be tossed on my partially covered porch.

Murphy’s law, or bad karma from forgetting my reusable shopping bag at Bartell’s, dictates that it will wind up on my uncovered side if it rains. However, I can wait a few hours for it to dry. This sure seems to sure the beat the years we’ll wait for its plastic cover to go away.

■■PAINE FIELD

Promises hurt homeowners I want to make clear that allowing passenger airline service at Paine Field is such an egregious betrayal of public trust that it has become a moral issue.

Allowing foot-in-the-door approval for commercial passenger service will be a death knell for Mukilteo, Edmonds, south Everett and adjacent communities.

That decision happened at the 10:30 a.m. Monday County Council meeting in Everett.

(Now that is a strange time to expect the public to show up for comment.) The County Council decision came down to one individual, one man in a five-person council. Mr. Terry Ryan cast the deciding vote, along with Councilmen Dave Somers and Ken Klein.

The motion passed 3 to 2.

Commercial aviation shouldn’t happen at Paine Field. Why? Because, given the world of power, money and privilege that we live in, the following has happened: In the 1990s, when Paine Field was in the midst of 4,000 acres of timberland, those regionally aware wanted no change in the status of Paine Field. They were intent on building out that acreage with high-priced family residencies, giving assurances that degradation of the environment by commercialization of passenger flight at Paine

Citizens, comply with police I have no doubt that the men in Ferguson, Pasco, New York and other places would still be alive today if only they had obeyed initial, lawful commands by the police.

Will we ever learn that incidents seldom escalate if we would just obey, and comply with lawful police commands and orders?

Oh, for the a nationwide campaign led by our president, the media, churches, etc., to educate and urge the public to comply with such lawful orders, to reduce or end these tragic deaths.

I read with astonishment the Monday article in The Herald, “Owner of 111 cats in Snohomish charged with animal cruelty.” As animal control officers approached, the stench was right under their noses. The articles says, “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.”

It was the headline that caught my eye as a pet owner.

I’d just left our cat outdoors overnight on our patio and felt badly. One hundred eleven cats! But what’s also under my nose doesn’t escape me … she told officers she was homeless. Nothing in this report addresses that or any remedy thereto during or after her admission. And this was last July, and now it’s March, and she is to be charged for animal cruelty.

Do you understand what I am saying here? She is homeless, likely still. One cat or 111, someone homeless is not getting even a whiff of help from what I read. But it’s worse. Our remedy for homeless “law breakers” is jail. It’s right under our noses and we can’t get a whiff of what’s really at stake.

This woman likely needs mental health care, and a roof over her bed. Not jail. Come on, Snohomish County. We have a plan and commitment to end homelessness. Here she is, under our noses. Keep her out of jail, suspend her sentence, get her help, and out of homelessness.

Have your say

Obama’s boots on ground of global realities ike “closure,” as applies to the loss of a loved one, and “accident,” as applies to a child getting hold of a gun and killing himself or someone else, the term “boots on the ground” should be excised from public discourse.

How sterile, how easy to swallow. Boots.

How painless, how undisturbing of sleep.

Not soldiers, sons and daughters, spouses and parents.

Boots.

SID SCHWAB How about blood on the ground? Or boots on the ground with feet still in them, attached to nothing else? Bits of brain, leaking memories into the hot sand. When we send people off to war, it’s a lot more than boots. If it’s sometimes necessary, so is the recognition of what it means, free of whitewash.

Our president feels that ordering soldiers into combat is a last resort. Which, to our Republican friends, the most vocal of whom found ways to avoid it (I didn’t) for themselves and their kids, means weakness. Rudy “9/11 and not much else” Giuliani would have us believe it means Obama doesn’t love America.

The latest to speak from the other side of the edge is Congressman Lamar Smith, of (surprise!) Texas, who says President Obama is doing “nothing” to combat ISIS; he even managed to toss in the lie-till-the-Foxified-believe-it-whichusually-takes-only-once classic that it’s because he “doesn’t believe America is exceptional.” He also claimed Egypt and Jordan are doing more. Let’s consider ways in which this is as bogus as Bill O’Reilly’s claims of combat experience and implied military service. (I’m not gonna defend Brian Williams, by the way, but at least he was there in the thick of it.)

We’ve been bombing ISIS for months.

When other countries have done so, it’s with U.S. air cover and coordination.

We have “advisers” (I’m thinking special forces) there. The president has asked for an extended authorization of use of military force against ISIS. And, although the claim that other countries are doing more is as false as Foxian fairness and balance, why shouldn’t they be? If ground forces are needed, why must it be ours?

The most immediate threat of ISIS is to the countries in which it’s operating; and, one might notice, to Muslims there, whom it’s been killing wholesale, along with only a few non-Muslims.

Which brings us to another object of right-wing ire: Because Obama doesn’t use the term “radical Islam,” he either doesn’t understand the threat or, as many screamers would have it, is actually the power behind it. President Bush, one might recall — if, unlike Jeb, one were into revisiting those times — took pains to point out we weren’t at war with Islam.

There’s a reason, and both presidents since 9/11 have recognized it: The ultimate solution to terrorists (if there is one) will require that the countries in which they operate decide enough is enough.

One of the most powerful recruiting tools Islamic radicals have is convincing others that the U.S. is, in fact, at war with Islam, and that they are Islam’s defenders. I’m not convinced that uttering the words “radical Islam” is dispositive in either direction; but it’s not hard to understand the difficulties of getting Muslim countries in the region, who split along Sunni/Shia lines and who have eons of internecine animosities among them, to cooperate in efforts against such groups as ISIS and al-Qaida. If it’s perceived by those involved in the process that sensitive souls are offended when U.S. leaders use the term and that avoiding it is useful, I won’t argue; likewise when the president makes an evidently toosubtle distinction between the religion of Islam and those who pervert it to justify brutal, horrifying acts. I don’t suppose it’s especially helpful when Americans burn mosques, either.

The ways in which President Obama has spoken of “American exceptionalism” (a term making its way up my opening list) and love of country, and in which he’s acknowledged the grave dangers of radicalism and terrorism, are many.

(List provided on request.) Meanwhile, I disagree but am fine with people arguing Obama should wage war differently, or with our troops instead of the ones there.

But let’s stop the “he’s doing nothing” and the “he doesn’t love America” bunk.

People who say that are embarrassing themselves. And our country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Regarding the article, “Marysville Pilchuck cafeteria where shootings occurred won’t reopen”: It was a terrible thing that happened in the Marysville high school cafeteria. It is worse to teach our children they don’t have to face their fears. If you tear down a building where something bad happened just so they don’t have to face reentering that space, what are you teaching them? How will they face the other problems that are sure to come their way in life? It is our job as parents/ adults to teach our children how to be adults. Being an adult is hard work. Teaching children to be adults is even harder. I can imagine some people would be afraid to reenter the cafeteria where this terrible event occurred, but we can’t remove everything from the world that scares our children. The cafeteria is just a building, nothing more, nothing less.

If someone is have trouble facing their fear, have a counselor there to help. Let’s not teach our children to run away in fear, let’s teach them to overcome their fears. Let’s save our children and save the cafeteria.

IN OUR VIEW | Senate transportation package

Nobody said the road to compromise was going to be straight and smooth.

The state Senate on Monday indeed passed a $15 billion transportation package that required compromise and some discomfort for both parties in voting for things they normally wouldn’t support.

For Republicans that meant a nearly 12-cent-a-gallon gas tax increase, phased in between this summer and 2016. For Democrats, it meant allowing some labor and sales tax reforms, as well as letting stand for now what some consider a “poison pill.”

Unless the state Department of Ecology and Gov. Jay Inslee — and any governors following him during the next 16 years — agree not to pursue a low-carbon fuel standard that would require refineries to reduce the carbon emitted

Flu: Severity is partly because vaccine not as effective From Page A1

of flu-related health problems are more numerous than those hospitalized during the 2009-10 flu season, when 105 people were treated in hospitals.

Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer for the Snohomish Health District, said he began getting reports in January from walk-in clinics and hospital emergency rooms that they were seeing a lot of patients with flu-like symptoms.

This flu season ranks as the most severe in at least five years, he said. Longerterm comparisons aren’t available because it wasn’t until the H1N1 season of 2009-10 that local, state and federal health officials began carefully tracking flu-related deaths.

The severity this year is caused in part to this season’s vaccine not being as effective as some in the past, Goldbaum said. The vaccine reduces a person’s chances of getting

the most common strain of flu, H3N2, by 18 percent, according to the National Institutes of Health. Some seasons, effectiveness has been as high as 60 percent.

Although the match between circulating strains of influenza and what the vaccine protects against wasn’t good this year, the number of illnesses and deaths might also be caused by the severity of the virus, Goldbaum said.

“If you get it, it’s more likely to cause

complications,” he said.

This year’s flu has been hitting older adults particularly hard.

In Snohomish County, eight of the nine deaths were among people 70 and older. They were a man from Everett in his 80s; a woman from Edmonds in her 90s; a woman from Snohomish in her 90s; a woman from Lynnwood in her 90s; a woman from Snohomish in her 70s; a woman from Lynnwood in her 80s; a woman from Snohomish

in her 80s; a man from Lynnwood in his 70s; and a woman from Snohomish County in her 50s, whose hometown was not available.

Statewide, all but 20 of the 120 flu deaths were among adults 65 and older, according to the state Department of Health.

Many already had health conditions that made them more susceptible to influenza, Moyer said.

Historically, influenza affects children and

older adults the most, Goldbaum said.

Scientists are looking at the flu viruses now circulating in the Southern Hemisphere to determine how best to protect children and adults in the 2015-16 flu season.

“That prediction has to be made by April or May so they can get the vaccine into production and available in October,” Goldbaum said.

Women: Many made significant contributions to Monroe From Page A1

characteristic of Mabel is that in spite of having to deal with tremendous adversity, she was able to change and adapt to the times to be successful,” Dillaway said. “Throughout her life, she has embraced hard work and active living, something she still does today.”

Neisinger was valedictorian at Monroe High School in 1936 and worked her way through college by picking berries on a farm. Her later employers included a state agency and what is now the Monroe Correctional Complex, where she screened inmate mail. All while raising two children.

Neisinger lives on her own

and cooks for her grandchildren. She said her secret to keeping well is walking at least a mile a day. She goes to Denny’s for breakfast on Wednesdays and walks across U.S. 2 — no easy task for older folks — to do her grocery shopping.

“She’s not a person who’s going to sit there and wait for someone to take her somewhere,” Dillaway said.

“Nothing is going to stop her, she’s going to go. You have to admire that.”

Another woman who left her mark on Monroe is Walser, the former mayor.

Walser first was appointed to the City Council in 1974. The men on the council, she recalled, questioned her ability to make decisions as

missing from the apartment, records show.

The man couldn’t explain why his earmuffs for shooting were in the bathroom on top of the coat he said he’d been wearing when he walked into his apartment.

a young woman. And they wondered whether she could be a reliable council member with two young children at home.

“They were sure that because I had two kids in diapers, I’d have a hard time 71. “To them, it was a valid concern. But I hardly

ever missed a meeting and I made sure to read everything. ... There was nothing I could say to change their minds. I wanted to contribute so that’s what I did.”

Walser served on the council until 1983. During her busy life, she also taught in the Monroe School District for almost 30 years.

In 1999, Walser was again appointed to the council. And she served eight years as the city’s mayor, treating the part-time position like a full-time job and spending her own money on travel to promote local causes. After she lost her bid for a third term as mayor in 2009, Walser continued to volunteer for local groups.

Margaret Ohlsen, 68,

also will share her perspective on women in Monroe’s history Thursday. Pioneers on both sides of her family helped establish the city.

Ohlsen lived for years on her family’s homestead, a dairy farm on Ben Howard Road.

After her husband returned from the Vietnam War, they opened Ohlsen Electric. Ohlsen wired houses alongside her husband while they raised two children. She’s also been active in the Tualco Grange for more than half a century.

“We’ve seen a lot of changes in Monroe,” Ohlsen said. “Women certainly have a bigger role.”

The Monroe Historical Society is documenting

that evolution by expanding the Snohomish County Women’s Legacy Project, a website that includes articles about women who have left their mark.

Dillaway and other volunteers have more articles in the works. Once those are completed, they plan to do more, eventually creating a book about Monroe women.

“I’m committed to the idea of women’s history and making sure women get their due,” Dillaway said. “They may not have done the most exceptional things, but they worked hard and received very little recognition.”

Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; anile@heraldnet.com.

Twitter: @AmyNileReports.

The man, 22, has remained adamant that he was shot during a breakin. He gave an interview to a Seattle television station Feb. 13, saying he was terrified to return to his apartment.

He continued to stick to

his story even after detectives confronted him with evidence that didn’t match his version of events.

He also declined to take a polygraph examination, saying, “I think it’s in my best interests to not take a polygraph. They aren’t

admissable in court.”

His friends told police they believe he was telling the truth.

Betts reported his concerns about the man’s story to the state Department of Labor and Industries.

The man had filed a claim

seeking compensation as a victim of a violent crime.

It’s unclear if the state will investigate the man’s application now that detectives have closed the case.

We’ve come a long way, but it has taken forever.

Bauml lifts Silvertips over Rockets in OT

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — Kohl Bauml knew he had missed his chance to win it. He wasn’t going to miss a second time.

The Everett Silvertips captain atoned for a potentially decisive miss late in regulation, scoring the winner late in overtime as the Tips

fought back to defeat the WHLleading Kelowna Rockets 3-2 Tuesday night at Xfinity Arena.

It was sweet redemption for Bauml, and it was a huge victory for Everett as it tries to hold off Portland for first place in the U.S. Division.

“This feels awesome,” Bauml said. “There’s really no other word for it. It was a fun game to

be a part of. We played hard the whole game. That was a playoff hockey game, and it couldn’t have come at a better time because we’ve been struggling. It’s a big win for our group.”

win it. The Tips trailed 2-0 early in the third period against the banged-up Rockets, and Everett wasn’t creating anything offensively. But the Tips gutted their way back into it. A fine individual effort by Nikita Scherbak got Everett on the board, then a deflected goal by Dawson Leedahl tied it.

Tips goaltender Carter Hart,

who kept the Tips in it throughout, came up with two breakaway saves with the score tied 2-2.

Then with three minutes remaining in regulation Bauml had his chance. A point shot rebounded to him right out front with the net gaping, but he somehow managed to put the puck wide.

Lynnwood’s Jordyn Edwards (top) pressures Central Kitsap’s Taylor Krouse during a regional playoff game at Everett Community College on Saturday.

BOTHELL — Opponents of the Lynnwood girls basketball team might not know it, but they are fighting the law — and more often than not the law wins.

While most high-school coaches are school employees that coach on the side for a stipend, Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards and strength and conditioning coach Becky Lewis have very different full-time jobs. Both work in law enforcement.

Edwards is a detective with the Seattle Police Department and

Lewis is a Snohomish County Sheriff.

Their careers are unique and bring a different perspective to coaching that has helped the Royals win five straight league championships, three straight district championships and advance to the Tacoma Dome for the Hardwood Classic for a second consecutive season where they will face West Seattle in the 3A state quarterfinals at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Third time the charm for King’s boys?

By David Krueger Herald Writer

SHORELINE — The King’s boys basketball team has come so close twice.

The Knights have made it to back-to-back 1A state championship games, and they have finished second both times.

This year, King’s is hoping maybe the third time is the charm.

“It’s definitely motivation for me,” said King’s sophomore Corey Kispert. “The last two years we’ve gotten second place. It’s definitely extra motivation having been there and been on the wrong side of things.”

King’s head coach Rick Skeen

made it to three state championship games with Burlington-Edison before becoming the Knights’ coach four seasons ago. In his career, Skeen is 0-5 in title games.

He just shrugs it off.

“It’s not about me. It’s funny because a lot of people think it is,” Skeen said. “... It’s about the kids.

If I’m ever lucky enough to be part of a group that wins it all, it doesn’t change the other ones. The kids that graduated last year, or the year before — or the kids I had in Burlington — they still got second and this doesn’t change that.

“At the end of the day I’d love to win — I’m a competitive person See KING’S, Page C5

C4-5

TUKWILA — With the season opener less than a week away, now is the time that Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid might normally feel compelled to give a motivational speech to his team.

With so much uncertainty surrounding the start of Major League Soccer’s 20th season, however, rah-rah speeches will have to wait.

The Sounders returned home from two weeks of training in Tucson, Arizona to prepare for Sunday’s season opener against New England, but they took the field Tuesday morning knowing there is a real possibility that game won’t happen. The league’s previous collective bargaining agreement, which was negotiated just before the start of the 2010 season has expired, and players say they are prepared to strike if the league doesn’t make some concessions Sigi Schmid: in a new labor “...I don’t deal, most notably want to go some form of free in there and agency, which cur- say, ‘All right, rently doesn’t exist here we go, let’s go,’ and in MLS. “I’m sure it’s then all of a on their minds,” sudden it’s not Schmid said. “One ‘let’s go’ for a thing that I’ve held while.” back off as a coach is I don’t want to go in there and say, ‘All right, here we go, let’s go,’ and then all of a sudden it’s not ‘let’s go’ for a while. I want to wait until that all gets resolved. I think everybody will feel better from both sides, and hopefully it will (get resolved).”

While the league opener isn’t until Friday, resolution likely will come Wednesday, or Thursday at the latest, as players will be unwilling to travel to road games without a new deal in place. In the meantime, all the Sounders can do this week is practice as if the season will start on time.

“It’s in the back of everyone’s head, but the only thing we can control at this point is how we prepare for Sunday,” defender Zach Scott said. “We have no control over what happens in the board room. We have great leadership in there, and hopefully something gets done. For both sides, the best possible outcome is that the games go on.”

Players’s Union reps, including Seattle’s Brad Evans, have been in Washington D.C. negotiating with the league, and while negative reports were coming out of the nation’s capital early in the day, more positive news emerged See SOUNDERS, Page C3

Mariners plan to give left fielder plenty of at-bats in spring training

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — The spring push accelerates Wednesday for the Seattle Mariners when they open their Cactus League schedule against complex co-tenant San Diego at Peoria Stadium.

That goes double for left fielder Dustin Ackley.

Manager Lloyd McClendon is promising heavy duty for Ackley in an effort to wean him away from his dreadful starts over the last two seasons.

“When he’s in there,” McClendon vowed, “he’ll play. I think that’s the way to do it. When he plays, he’s going to play. Just give him as many at-bats as we possibly can.”

In short, don’t be surprised if Ackley leads the Cactus League in at-bats.

“I don’t have a problem with that,” he said. “Everybody here wants at-bats. That’s what everybody here is trying to do in order to prepare for the season.

The best way to do that is to get at-bats.”

Ackley needs a good spring, too, to hold onto playing time after the Mariners made a series of off-season acquisitions — most notably, the Feb. 13 signing of free-agent Rickie Weeks, who is spending a lot of time in left.

“It’s just one of those things,” Ackley said. “I’m going to keep doing the things I would have done regardless of if he was here or wasn’t here. I’m going to go out there and work hard.”

The early projection is Ackley and Weeks will platoon in left field, but either one could work their way into more-regular duty — or less-regular duty — depending on performance.

The Mariners can shift either Seth Smith or Justin Ruggiano to left if needs arise, although those two are projected to share time as a left/right platoon in right field.

“We do have a lot of flexibility,” McClendon said. “It’s nice to have choices, and those choices include veteran guys who have nice track records. That’s important.”

So Ackley, at 27, finds himself at something of a career crossroads after three-plus seasons.

He batted .245, with a .293 onbase percentage, a year ago with

CHARLIE RIEDEL / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Mariners’ Dustin Ackley watches batting practice during a spring training practice last week.

14 homers and 65 RBI in 143 games.

The Mariners want more from a player they selected in 2009 with the second overall pick in the draft.

“He should be at a point in his career where his confidence level should be steady,” McClendon said. “You know you’re a major-league player. You know you’re going to stick, and you know you’re going to get your playing time.

“So put your work in and get ready. That’s where we’re trying to get him now.”

Ackley admits he often permitted the game’s grind to affect him in the past — he’d obsess over even routine struggles and disappointments to a point where they would snowball in to bigger problems.

He also believes he became better at limiting that tendency last season over the closing few months.

“I think if I play the way I’m capable of playing,” Ackley said, “everything is going to fall into place and things are going to happen that I want to happen.

Pretty much, it’s all in my court.

“I’ve just got to go out there and perform. That’s pretty much the same for everybody. That’s

what Mac said in the meetings — this is a performance-based thing. If you help the team win, you’re going to be playing.”

That begins with avoiding another slow start.

Ackley was batting just .214 a year ago through June before rallying to a .274/.313/.463 slash over his final 69 games.

It was much the same a year earlier when his average stood at .213 as late as Aug. 5. Thereafter, he posted a .321/.399/.471.

Ackley often battled a sore left ankle and foot in the past.

The problem stems from longtroublesome bone spurs, but off-season examinations revealed no need for surgery.

“The wheel is good,” he insisted. “It is what it is. It’s one of those things where it’s probably not going to feel great every single day. But as long as I’m able to get out there and play every day, I’m good with it.”

It’s already been a busy spring for Ackley, whose wife, Justine, gave birth to the couple’s first child midway through their annual drive from Michigan to Peoria.

Parson Bennett Ackley arrived nearly six weeks ahead of schedule at an Oklahoma City hospital. While healthy, he

initially required time in an incubator and on a respirator.

“He came on the 19th (of February),” Ackley said, “and the due date was originally March 30. He was pretty premature, but he weighed 5 pounds and 12 ounces. So he was far along for a baby that early. That helped.”

When Parson’s condition stabilized, Ackley continued to spring training — and began waiting for wife and child to be cleared to join him. That could be any day now.

“They originally said two or three weeks,” Ackley said. “He might be ready to leave even before two weeks.”

Once the family reunites, Ackley can reinforce his focus on displaying his second-half form throughout the entire season.

“I think it’s just a matter of keeping the same confidence level, keep doing the same things I was doing at the end of last year,” he said. “Other than the foot thing I had going on, I felt great.

“Everything was going good swing-wise and mentality-wise.

I think if I just stay with that, and get a lot of at-bats this spring, it’s going to go exactly like I want it to.”

Seager lends support to fight childhood cancer

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Third baseman Kyle Seager is joining with a former college teammate in lending his support to efforts to fight childhood cancer through the Vs. Cancer Foundation.

Fans are asked to pledge a specific donation for each hit that Seager has in the upcoming season. Seager and his wife, Julie, will match the amount of the first 100 pledges.

Donations can be made through www.seagervscancer. org.

“I don’t have social media,” Seager said, “so I don’t realize how fast word gets out. I knew it was launching (Tuesday). I went on the website, and it already had some donations.

“It’s awesome what kind of fans there are in Seattle, who not only support the Mariners but support something like this.”

Seager was drawn to the program by former North Carolina

teammate Chase Jones, who was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 18.

“It’s a phenomenal thing,” Seager said. “It’s something that’s very near and dear and close to our hearts. My wife and I have known Chase for a long time.

“To go from him being your teammate to seeing him in the hospital, going through all of that stuff, is eye-opening. You hear his story one time, and you understand how real it is.”

Pitching plans Right-hander Taijuan Walker is scheduled for two innings Wednesday in the Mariners’ spring opener against complex co-tenant San Diego at renovated Peoria Stadium.

Also scheduled to pitch: Sam Gaviglio, Mike Kickham, David Rollins, Rafael Perez, Carson Smith and Dominic Leone.

San Diego lists left-hander Jason Lane as its starter for Wednesday’s game.

Rollins and Perez are among the candidates for duty as the bullpen’s second lefty reliever alongside Charlie Furbush. Smith and Leone are

also batting for spots in the bullpen.

Gaviglio and Kickham are expected to open the season in the minors.

Manager Lloyd McClendon previously announced probable starters for the first six games. Roenis Elias will start Thursday against the Padres, who are planning to start righthander Andrew Cashner.

The Mariners list Erasmo Ramirez as Friday’s starter against the Dodgers in Glendale.

Spring TV coverage Root Sports will televise the Mariners’ spring opener against San Diego at 12:05 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday as part of its 16-game Cactus League package.

Root will also air rebroadcasts of the game at 3:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

The Mariners continue their 32game spring schedule at 12:05 p.m.

Thursday with another game against the Padres at Peoria Stadium. Root Sports will also televise that game.

Root will also show Saturday’s game against the Diamondbacks in Peoria.

Hultzen update Lefty Danny Hultzen took the next step in his comeback from major shoulder surgery when he threw live

batting practice Tuesday for the first time this spring.

“It was good to get loose,” he said. “I haven’t had that for a while.

I hadn’t been out there since last September against hitters. It’s just another step moving forward. I was really happy with it.”

Hultzen, 25, missed much of the 2013 season because of a sore shoulder before undergoing surgery Oct. 1 to repair his labrum and a partial tear of his rotator cuff. He then spent all of last year in rehab.

“My arm felt great,” he said after a 28-pitch session. “My breaking stuff wasn’t very good today, but that’s just another battle that everyone faces. Other than that, it felt awesome.”

This is a bigger Hultzen than the pre-injury version. He is pushing 220 pounds which, he said, is 10-15 pounds more than he’s weighed in the past.

“If you’re not out there pitching,” he said, “you have more time to work out. That’s how I spent a lot of my time. I put on some good weight and feel really strong.”

The next hurdle is pitching in a Cactus League game.

“I’m ready,” he said. “I don’t know what the plan is, but I’m feeling great.”

NFL | Notebook

Sources: Eagles trade running back McCoy to Bills for linebacker Alonso Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — LeSean McCoy will lead Rex Ryan’s “ground and pound” running attack for the Buffalo Bills next season.

Two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade McCoy, their star running back, to the Bills for linebacker Kiko

Alonso.

The deal has been agreed to, but can’t be completed until the 2015 league season begins on Tuesday.

McCoy had an inconsistent season last year after leading the NFL with 1,607 yards rushing in 2013. At his best, McCoy is an elite multidimensional running back who has been a proven threat as both a runner and receiver.

He enjoyed his best season in

2013, scoring nine touchdowns rushing, adding 539 yards receiving and one touchdown.

One reason for McCoy’s drop in production last season was a banged-up offensive line in which all five projected starters never played one game together.

McCoy’s addition leaves C.J. Spiller in search of a new team.

He is eligible to become a free agent next week.

Buffalo’s 2010 first-round draft

pick told the NFL Network the Bills informed him of the trade, and told him “they were going in that direction, pretty much giving me a ‘Thank you for your service.’”

“Nothing has changed,” Spiller said about his offseason approach. “The game plan is still the same. The only thing is that I won’t be returning to Buffalo.”

Alonso will be reunited with Chip Kelly, who coached the linebacker at his previous job at

Oregon. Alonso made an immediate impact in Buffalo after being selected in the second round of the 2013 draft.

Rugby star Hayne signs with 49ers SAN FRANCISCO — Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne passed a physical and signed a three-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers. The team said his deal includes $100,000 in guaranteed money. The 27-year-old, 6-foot-2, 220-pound Hayne also generated interest from Detroit and Seattle.

OLYMPIA — The Senate unanimously passed a measure that exempts players in the Western Hockey League from state labor laws.

Senate Bill 5893 passed Tuesday after being amended on the floor. The original bill was much broader, seeking an exemption for all amateur athletes.

The bill now heads to the House for consideration.

In a hearing last month, officials from the state’s WHL teams and the league office said the Seattle

But in overtime Bauml got the last laugh. Tips defenseman Noah Juulsen boomed a shot that was blocked in the slot. The puck got lost in skates, where Scherbak fished it out and fed Bauml all alone in front. Bauml put a shot over Kelowna goaltender Jackson Whistle’s shoulder and into the top corner to give Everett an immense win.

“It’s been a bit of a struggle for me the past two weeks, putting the puck in the net,” Bauml said. “Getting an opportunity like that in the third period and missing an open net, I was like, ‘What else can go wrong?’ Getting that one felt good, helped getting my confidence back, and it was a huge two points for our hockey club.”

Said Everett coach Kevin Constantine: “He’s our captain, he’s the heart and soul of our team, and he really cares. It’s nice to see that get rewarded.”

Hart finished with 37 saves as Everett (38-19-3-4) pushed its lead over Portland for first place in the division back out to four points. The Winterhawks have two games in hand.

“It’s massive,” Bauml said of the victory. “Not a lot of teams steal points from (Kelowna), not a lot of people give any teams a chance against them. So to be able to, I guess if you want to say steal two points from them, especially being down, it’s massive.”

Tuesday evening. According to the Washington Post’s Steven Goff, little progress was being made early Tuesday, with the league only offering free agency to players age 32 or older and with 10 years of service with one team, something that would apply to just one current player, Houston’s Brad Davis.

“It seems like [the owners] are giving up nothing of substance,” an anonymous source told Goff.

“They have shot down all of the players’ proposals [on free agency]. It’s shocking. The owners are almost wanting a work stoppage.”

But later in the day, ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle was reporting more encouraging news, saying the two sides were “inching closer,” and that the current offer was free agency

Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, Tri-City Americans and Everett Silvertips might have to leave or shut down if state law isn’t changed.

The teams are currently under investigation for child labor practices after a complaint was filed over working conditions for their players, who range in age from 16 to 20 years old and play a 72-game regular season.

Under current law, if the players are considered employees, they are subject to state laws governing minimum wage and working conditions, including child labor laws.

Tyson Baillie and Leon Draisaitl scored powerplay goals for Kelowna (48-11-4-1), which dropped consecutive games for just the second time this season. Whistle finished with 27 saves.

Kelowna, which was missing several key players because of injury, was cruising to victory. Baillie and Draisaitl scored on Kelowna’s first two power plays of the game, and Kelowna’s defense had Everett completely stymied.

But a momentary spark from Scherbak finally got Everett going. Scherbak skated the puck into the offensive zone on the right, cut into the middle, then fired a shot from the slot under Whistle to get the Tips on the board at 3:54.

Everett came to life, and the Tips tied it at 10:16.

Everett put three bodies in front of the net for Lucas Skrumeda’s low shot from the left point, and Leedahl was able to tip it over Whistle to make it 2-2 and put Everett in position to take something from the game.

But none of it would have happened without the efforts of Hart. The 16-year-old rookie played his second straight spectacular game against top opposition. He made 41 saves when Everett ended Calgary’s string of winning 15 of 16 last Friday in a 7-2 victory, then he bailed the Tips out on multiple occasions Tuesday. Hart is now 9-1-0-1 in 2015.

“It was nice because he got lit up a little bit when we were in Kelowna (in a 9-3 loss),” said Constantine, who also gave praise

for players who are 28 or older with eight years of service, not necessarily with one team. Whether that is enough for players remains to be seen, but the two reports, coming a few hours apart, indicate that the sides are at least making progress.

Players say their focus is on getting ready for games, not a pending strike, though they do have to prepare for the worst, whether that means having money saved up or a plan for medical insurance.

“The only thing we’ve talked about is just making sure that our families are all right,” Scott said. “... The easy answer is, we can only control what we can control, but if it’s on the horizon, you’re thinking about bigger picture, thinking about, ‘OK, what do I do?’ People have families to support. Young guys have rent to pay.

So yeah, obviously that’s hanging over everyone’s head. But it’s the bestcase for both parties to get

to a defense that was playing short-handed. “After that you’re either going to be intimidated or determined. It’s nice to see a goalie that instead of being intimidated by them was determined tonight. That’s a nice approach to his second crack at that team.”

Slap shots Both teams played significantly short-handed. ...

Everett received some relief on defense as overager Ben Betker returned after serving a one-game suspension handed down by the league for his checking-to-the-head major penalty in Friday’s victory over Calgary. However, fellow blueliners Kevin Davis and Tristen Pfeifer remained out because of upper-body injuries, meaning the Tips dressed just five defensemen. ... Meanwhile, Kelowna had six players out because on injury, including leading goal scorer Rourke Chartier (upper body) and top-pairing defenseman Josh Morrissey (lower body). As a result, the Rockets played one skater short.

While a possible work stoppage is the elephant in the room this week, players were able to ignore the distraction of a possible strike for at least a couple of hours Tuesday while preparing for a game they know might not happen.

“When you’re on the field training, you forget everything,” midfielder Gonzalo Pineda said.

“Even if you are mad at your wife or something, you forget that. It’s just happiness and play around a little bit, and your forget everything else.”

Players to watch

Justin Dunsmore, Zillah: The senior led the Leopards to the state championship last season. With the ability to shoot from the outside and score inside, Dunsmore is a difficult defensive assignment for any player. He has helped lead the Leopards to their 23-1 record and a No. 1-ranking entering Thursday’s 1A quarterfinal against Castle Rock.

Gould, MP thrilled to be back

By David Krueger

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Jaylen Nowell, a sophomore guard, averages better than 23 points per game for Garfield.

Jaylen Nowell, Garfield: Nowell is just a sophomore, but averaged 23.5 points and six rebounds per game this season for the Bulldogs. He’s scored in double figures every game this season.

The Bulldogs won the 4A state championship last season and will need Nowell to be at his best if they are going to win a loaded 3A tournament this year.

Dejounte Murray, Rainier Beach: The Washington commit is a double-double machine. He averages 24.2 points and 13.6 rebounds for the defending 3A state champions. The Vikings seem to be a staple in the big game, but getting through this loaded 3A tournament will be one of their biggest challenges to date.

Matisse Thybulle, Eastside Catholic: The 6-foot-6 senior is a dominating presence inside, averaging 18.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season. The UW-bound Thybulle helped the Crusaders reach the state championship game last season. It will be a tough road for Thybulle and his teammates to return to the big game.

If they get past Marysville Pilchuck in the first round, they will face the winner of Rainier Beach and Bellevue in the semifinals — the top two teams in the final AP poll of the season.

Isiah Brown, Lakeside: In a Metro Conference loaded with talent, Brown stood out as the league’s top scorer, averaging an eye-popping 28.2 points per game.

The junior scored over 30 points 13 different times this season.The Lions come into the state tournament with a 21-7 record, but have failed to beat any of the top-three teams in the AP poll so far this season.

Gunther Klimes, Bellevue: The senior, who has committed to Army, leads five Wolverines players that average double figures in scoring with 14.9 points per game. Klimes might not standout like some of the other high-flyers and top-scorers in the 3A boys tournament, but he has helped Bellevue to a 23-3 record this season. The Wolverines were ranked second in the final Associated Press poll of the season and scored a big victory over No. 3-ranked Garfield in the District 2 tournament.

The Favorite: Garfield The Bulldogs were third in the final 3A Associated Press poll of the season, but the top three teams in the poll (No. 1 Rainier Beach, No. 2 Bellevue and Garfield) each received at least one first-place vote. The Bulldogs, who have lost just twice all season, won the 4A state championship a year ago and have a roster loaded with talent.

Bellevue, Rainier Beach and Eastside Catholic could all be in the mix, but the slight edge goes to the Bulldogs.

The Herald predicts ...

Garfield cruises through its half of the bracket and in the championship game takes down Rainier Beach, which narrowly edges No. 2-ranked Bellevue in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

Marysville Pilchuck vs. Eastside Catholic

Attending the state basketball tournament in the Tacoma Dome has been an annual tradition for Marysville Pilchuck boys coach Bary Gould.

This year, though, his team will be joining him in Tacoma.

Led by Gould and senior guard Michael Painter, the Tomahawks are in the state tournament for the first time since 1993, Gould’s senior year at MP. “Every single year I go there and I watch those games,” Gould said. “I’m always wanting to be one of those teams that is actually warming up and on the floor. I feel like it’s going to hit me when I’m doing that — when we’re walking through the pass gate and warming up on the floor. I’d get there early to get a good seat for the good games and this year people will get there early to watch us play.

That’s really cool.”

Two seasons ago, Marysville Pilchuck finished 1-19.

Painter and Gould are the lone holdovers from that team. It’s the second big turnaround for Gould, whose Tomahawk squad went 0-20 the season before it qualified for the 1993 state tournament.

The Tomahawks began this season with five consecutive victories. Over the last half of

When/Where: 9 p.m., Thursday, Tacoma Dome Records: Marysville Pilchuck 19-6, Eastside Catholic 23-6 AP Rankings: Marysville Pilchuck (not ranked); Eastside Catholic (No. 6).

How they got to Tacoma: Marysville Pilchuck edged Kennewick 51-47 in a 3A regional game at Chiawana High School in Pasco. Eastside Catholic also had a close game, escaping with a 53-51 victory over Wilson.

Players to watch: Marysville Pilchuck—Michael Painter, Sr., G; Bryce Juneau, Jr., G; Cole Grinde, Sr., G; Nate Heckendorf, Jr., G; Josh Bevan, Jr., G. Eastside Catholic—Matisse Thybulle, Sr., F; Mandrell Worthy, Sr., G; Max Hudgins, Sr., G. Breakdown: The Crusaders finished second in the 3A Metro League, which sent five teams to the final eight in Tacoma. Led by Thybulle (18 points per game), a University of Washington signee, Eastside Catholic won each of its last three playoff games by six points or less. Worthy, who will play at Montana State, averages 15.5 points for the Crusaders.

The Tomahawks, meanwhile, are the lone representative from the Northwest District and are making their first state appearance in 22 years.

Twitter: @Krueger_David Prediction: Eastside Catholic 63, Marysville Pilchuck 54 the season, they lost just two games — both to Stanwood — to finish second in the Wesco 3A North. Marysville Pilchuck lost by one point to Glacier Peak in the district semifinals, but responded by gutting out a 49-46 victory over Arlington in the third-place, winner-toregionals game.

“At the beginning of the season we were talking and thought, ‘It’s been 21 or 22 years since MP’s gotten a regional berth,’” Painter

said after the Arlington win. “We were like, ‘Hey, we can do this.’

And in that final moment it was, ‘We got it.’”

Painter had a big game in the regionals. The senior scored 24 points — including going 7 of 8 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter — in a 51-47 win over Kennewick at Chiawana High School in Pasco. The victory punched the Tomahawks’ ticket to the state tournament in Tacoma.

Kienan Walter, King’s Way Christian: The junior has averaged 23.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and two assists per game for the Knights, who enter Thursday’s quarterfinal game against Vashon Island with a record of 19-6. The Knights were tied with Riverside for 10th in the final 1A Associated Press poll of the season.

Jessie Norton, Vashon Island: The senior averages 20.2 points per game for the Pirates, who enter Thursday’s quartefinal game against King’s Way Christian with a record of 22-1. Their only loss of the season came by one point on Dec. 30 to Alaska’s Dimond High School. The Pirates were ranked third in the final AP poll of the season.

Cody Fransen, Lynden Christian: The senior is one of two Lynden Christian players averaging more than 16 points per game. Fransen leads the way averaging 16.5 and junior Zach Roetcisoender is right behind averaging 16.4 per contest. Fransen and Roetcisoender have led the Lyncs to a 16-8 record so far this season and a No. 6-ranking in the final AP poll of the season.

Brock Johnson, Castle Rock: The junior is averaging 19 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for the Rockets, who face No. 1-ranked Zillah in Thursday’s state quartefinals.

The Favorite: King’s King’s finished second in the final AP Class 1A poll of the season, just three points behind No. 1 Zillah. Those same two teams met in last year’s 1A state championship game and the Leopards won a close one. This year, the Knights come into the tournament with one loss and after the entire team walked away from its recent bus crash with only minor injuries, King’s appears to be this season’s team of destiny.

ROAD TO THE DOME | King’s Boys

Knights’ success relies on defense

By David Krueger Herald Writer

With a star sophomore that provides highlight reel dunks and several players that can shoot from the perimeter, the King’s boys basketball team doesn’t usually have a problem putting up points.

However, it’s the defensive side of the ball the Knights try to emphasize.

King’s has outscored its opponents by an average of 24 points this season and a big part of that has to do with the Knights’ aggressive, stifling defense.

“The thing that’s really unique about this group is they love to play defense,” said King’s head coach Rick Skeen. “We talk all the time about putting on a show on defense. We want people to pay money to come watch us play defense. ... These kids take a lot of pride in their defense and I think our numbers throughout the year have shown that. Our best chance to win Thursday night is with our defense.”

The Knights allow just 41 points per game and have allowed 35 points or more just once in the playoffs.

After hanging on against Lynden Christian, 74-63, in the 1A District 1 title game, the Knights

King’s vs. La Salle When/Where: 9 p.m., Thursday, SunDome in Yakima Records: La Salle 21-3, King’s 22-2 AP Rankings: La Salle (No. 5); King’s (No. 2).

How they got to Yakima: La Salle edged Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) 51-50 in a 1A regional at Cheney High School. King’s had little difficulty in its regional matchup, defeating Charles Wright Academy 60-35.

Players to watch: La Salle—Conner Andringa, Sr., G; Tresten Garza, Sr., G; Austin Gasseling, Sr., F; Austin Ide, Jr., F. King’s—Corey Kispert, So., G/F; Noah Bundrant, Sr., G; Brett Jones, Sr., F; Calvin Kispert, Sr., F. Breakdown: La Salle finished second in the 1A South-Central West League behind Zillah, the top-ranked 1A team in the state. Garza and Andringa both average over 10 points a game for the Lightning.

King’s is led by Corey Kispert, a sophomore averaging almost 19 points per game who was named the Cascade Conference MVP. Kispert can do it all: rebound, defend and shoot from long range. His older brother, Calvin, provides a strong post presence and Bundrant, who averages 11.6 points per game, gives the Knights a third scoring option.

King’s was involved in a scary bus accident that saw its vehicle roll on its side, on the way back from a 1A district playoff game on Feb. 14.

Amazingly, just two King’s players missed the next game, and all were available for last week’s regional against Charles Wright.

Twitter: @HeraldNetPreps Prediction: King’s 62, La Salle 49 suffered a scary bus accident.

King’s had all players and coaches available for the regional matchup, and the Knights responded with a 60-35 victory over the Tarriers to clinch a berth in the state tournament for the third consecutive time. King’s has lost in the state

championship game each of the past two seasons.

“These are the best eight teams in the state,” Skeen said. “La Salle’s good enough to beat us and so we have to be ready to play La Salle on Thursday. If we do that, we’ll see what happenes after.”

King’s and Zillah battle for the title again, this time King’s wins the championship in a game that goes down to the wire.

ROAD TO THE DOME | Lynnwood Girls

Preparations for state began months ago

By David Krueger

Lynnwood vs. West Seattle

Herald Writer

The Lynnwood girls basketball team has been preparing for the state tournament since December, when the Royals competed at the Nike Interstate Shootout in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Lynnwood played four games in four days, with the main goal to get the experience of playing four unknown teams in as many days. Royals head coach Everett Edwards said he had Tacoma in mind when scheduling the tournament, which featured some of the top teams in Oregon.

Lynnwood went 4-0 at the tournament, defeating Jesuit, Glencoe, West Linn and South Salem, becoming the first team from Washington to win since 1995.

“The trip to Oregon, where we played four games in a row back-to-back-to-back-toback, will help us,” Edwards said. “It’ll show us how to game plan with the short turnaround.

You have to go through some film and make whatever adjustments you have to make.”

The Royals picked up right where they left off last year, when they placed third at the 4A state tourney — the highest finish in program history. Lynnwood moved to 3A for the 2014-15 school year, but the Royals had little difficulty adjusting to the Wesco 3A South.

Lynnwood, which has defeated opponents by an average of 30 points this season, had two hiccups: a 55-43 loss to Todd Beamer at the King Showcase on Jan. 19, and a 61-49 defeat at the hands of league rival Glacier Peak on Feb. 6. Both times, Edwards said the losses could benefit the Royals.

“I truly believe that this loss could be the

best thing that could happen to us at this point in the season,” Edwards said after the loss to Todd Beamer. “This is the first loss that this group has had, starting from the summer. ... We love to play good teams.

It’s really easy to schedule easy games and to try not to face adversity but we schedule tough. This game, it might not show now, but hopefully in a few weeks as we prepare for our district tournament, we’re going to face some other adversity and we can draw on our experience here.”

ROAD TO THE DOME | King’s Girls

When/Where: 2 p.m., Thursday, Tacoma Dome Records: West Seattle 22-4, Lynnwood 22-2 AP Rankings: West Seattle (No. 2); Lynnwood (No. 1) How they got to Tacoma: Lynnwood routed Central Kitsap 71-39 in a 3A regional game at Everett Community College. West Seattle also won big in its regional, defeating Sumner 56-18 at Renton High School.

Players to watch: West Seattle—Lydia Giomi, Jr., C; Lexi Ioane, Jr., G/F; Emily Fiso, Sr., G/F; G Charli Elliott, Sr., F. Lynnwood—Monty Cooper, Sr., W; Jordyn Edwards, Jr., W; Mikayla Pivec, Jr., W; Kelsey Rogers, So., P. Breakdown: This game could come down to who gets the upper hand between Pivec and Giomi. Both are top recruits for the Class of 2016. The 6-foot-6 Giomi was the 3A Metro MVP, averaging 14.8 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. The 5-foot-10 Pivec, who scored 24 points and grabbed 24 rebounds in the Royals’ regional win over Central Kitsap, averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds a game.

Pivec has scholarship offers from Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, Seattle University and Nebraska.

West Seattle, which had never made it to the state quarterfinals, lost its starting point guard Gabby Sarver, who averaged 6.5 points per game, when she tore her ACL three weeks ago. The Wildcats still have Ionae (13 points per game) and Fiso (12) as scoring threats.

The Royals lost just two games this season — both against teams that made it to the regional round of the state tournament (Todd Beamer and Glacier Peak). In Lynnwood’s 22 wins, the Royals outscored their opponents by an average of 30 points.

Hanson leads King’s Eagles hope familiarity back to state tournament breeds success in Tacoma

By David Krueger Herald Writer

The King’s program has continued to improve the past four years and a big part of that improvement is thanks to senior Savanna Hanson.

The 6-foot guard, who has committed to Santa Clara, has helped the Knights reach state all four years she’s played for King’s.

“She’s grown as a leader,” said King’s head coach Dan Taylor.

“She’s been a two-year captain. She was more reserved and quiet when she first came up in the program.

Now she’s a lot more vocal and I think that will help at next level.”

Hanson, who averaged about 15 points per game this season, led King’s to the regional round

of the 1A state tournament in her sophomore year. In 2014, Hanson and the Knights placed fifth at state, before falling in the 1A championship game last season to Lynden Christian.

King’s also made it to the state tournament in Hanson’s freshman season, going 0-2 at the Yakima SunDome.

“The thing that makes her valuable for us is she can play inside or outside. That’s the next evolution of basketball,” Taylor said. “You look at Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Lauren Jackson — those players can score inside and outside and I think Savanna’s become that type of player. She can post up down low or hit a perimeter jumper. That makes her very difficult to defend.”

King’s vs. Granger When/Where: 10:30 a.m., Thursday, SunDome in Yakima Records: Granger 22-2, King’s 21-3 AP Rankings: Granger (No. 6); King’s (No. 1).

How they got to regionals: Granger beat Nooksack Valley 62-44 in a 1A regional Saturday at Eisenhower High School in Yakima. King’s defeated Kalama 52-40 in a regional at Everett Community College.

Players to watch: Granger—Alexis Castro, So., G; Angelica Oliveros, Sr., G; Paige Blodgett, Sr., P; Sierra Heitzman, Jr., G. King’s—Savanna Hanson, Sr., G; Ashley Osborn, Sr., G; Daylee Hanson, Jr., G; Anna Parker, Jr., F. Breakdown: Castro led the Spartans, and the South Central-West League, in scoring at 15.8 points per game. Oliveros adds 12 points per game for Granger, which won the regular-season league title.

Granger doesn’t have a player taller than 5-feet-8 on its roster, which may be to the Knights’ advantage. All but two players on the King’s roster are 5-8 or taller, including standouts Savanna Hanson (6-0), who has signed with Santa Clara, her younger sister Daylee Hanson (5-11), and Parker, a 5-9 forward.

Twitter: @HeraldNetPreps Prediction: King’s 53, Granger 45

By David Krueger Herald Writer

The Arlington girls basketball team is becoming a regular at the Tacoma Dome.

For the third consecutive season, the Eagles reached the state quarterfinals in Tacoma. Arlington participated in the past two Class 4A tournaments, finishing second in 2013. Arlington is now a 3A school, but will still wrap up its season in Tacoma.

The familiarity with the state tournament, with everything from the team hotel to where they will eat, should help the Eagles, Arlington coach Joe Marsh said.

“I wouldn’t call it a routine, but this is our third year now.

We know where we’re staying.

The girls have been here before,” Marsh said. “It is nice in that sense. We’ve been there before.

It’s not all brand new. I think that’s a plus for us.”

The Eagles (22-3) have won 14 of their past 15 games. Their two regular-season losses came by a combined five points, and their third was a 63-55 loss to Glacier Peak in districts. Arlington needed some late-game heroics in its district thirdplace game, with a late 3-pointer by Jessica Ludwig sending the contest against Edmonds-Woodway to overtime, with the Eagles eventually prevailing 57-52.

As a reward, Arlington got a regional matchup against Shadle Park in Spokane. The Eagles showed no ill effects of traveling across the state, defeating the Highlanders 52-35 to return to Tacoma.

and I don’t like to lose — but it’s about the kids and about their experience. I’ve heard them say things like, ‘Do it for coach.’ I told them I’ll love them the same whether they win three this week or lose two.”

In their first trip to the Yakima SunDome, King’s was a bit of an underdog, upsetting a few teams on its way to the championship game.

Last year, more teams knew about the Knights, who lost to Zillah 52-46 in the title game.

This season no one is overlooking second-ranked King’s.

“I don’t know if ‘pressure’ is the right word, but there’s a lot more preparation that goes into it just knowing you have a target on your back,” said senior forward Calvin Kispert. “Everyone’s going to take their shots at you.”

For Calvin Kispert and Noah Bundrant, two of the Knights’ eight seniors, there’s a sense of urgency in their final games at King’s.

“We want it more than we ever have,” Bundrant said, “and we’ve been working really hard to get there.”

Kispert, Bundrant — a first-team, all-league selection — and other seniors including Andrew Ayers, Brett Jones, David Barhanovich, Matt Royal, Josh Alexander and Chris Martin embrace whatever role is needed to help the Knights succeed.

“I always say talent is the No. 1 thing,” Skeen said. “You’ve got to have kids that can shoot, pass and dribble and we’ve got a lot of them here. But then it takes buying into the program and unselfishness. We have a lot of kids that I think could play way bigger roles, score way more points at most schools in the county and are willingly coming off the bench and accepting the role.”

King’s has faced more than its fair share of adversity this season. The Knights suffered a bus accident on

their way home from the district championship game on Feb. 14 when the team bus flipped on its side.

Only two players missed the next game and all were back and available for last week’s 60-35 regional win over Charles Wright Academy.

“We talk about it a lot,” Skeen said of the accident. “I want to forget the scary part. I want to get rid of the nightmares and I want us to move on from that, but I also hope we won’t forget because I think it’s changed a lot of us. I think this has been a tight group all along — it’s been a hard-working and fun group — but there’s no doubt the last couple weeks have been different.”

Calvin and Corey Kispert have been vital for the Knights this season. Calvin, the older brother, raves about Corey — a sophomore who averaged about 19 points per game and was the Cascade Conference Most Valuable Player.

“They’re just such great role models for the program,” Skeen

said. “They’re just two unbelievable kids. They’re 4.0 students, leaders on our campus and community service guys. They’re heroes to a lot of King’s Elementary kids, just for who they are and what they’re about. The fact that they’re really good at basketball is also nice.”

Corey is excited to make his return to state. The sophomore had seven points in last year’s title game and is excited to get back on the big stage and show what he, and his teammates, can do.

“It’s always exciting to go to the SunDome,” Corey said. “It’s so big and so loud and I get kind of nervous just thinking about it.”

Calvin, meanwhile, is eager to enjoy his final state basketball experience.

“For three days you get to make basketball your whole life,” he said.

“You’re hanging out with your team the whole time and it’s three straight days of basketball, basketball, basketball. Win or lose, I love this team and I love my coaches.”

being a police officer. “In law enforcement you are relying on your partner tremendously for your well-being. In basketball you are relying on your partner to talk so you don’t get your head taken off on a screen, so I think there is a level of teamwork and trust that I think is a perfect parallel between law enforcement and athletics.”

There is certainly a lot more on the line for Lewis and Edwards in their jobs than there is in a high school basketball game, but a lot of the same values carry over as Lewis explained.

“One of the things we try to instill in all of our recruits is that there is no option for quitting when it’s a life and death situation,” she said. “The number one rule in law enforcement is to go home at the end of the night. It’s not as dramatic on the basketball court, but there is that element of not quitting. Even if things are a little bit uncomfortable, we’re going to press through.”

The Royals have pressed through a lot. They come

into Thursday’s game against the Wildcats with a record of 22-2, but what they have done even more to help them attain such an impressive record is just press.

Much of Lynnwood’s success comes from its pressure defense that it has used all season and seasons prior. With relentless full-court pressure, the Royals wear teams down, create turnovers and score a lot of points in transition.

Behind that success has been Lewis.

In addition to being a sheriff, Lewis is also a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter.

She’s used a lot of what she’s learned in her training to help prepare the Royals physically and mentally for the demands of applying 32 minutes of pressure game in and game out.

In the fall, Lewis puts the team through voluntary workouts at 6 a.m. before school begins. Each player’s stamina and strength is tested vigorously, but the results make it all worth it.

“It is one of the major key components for our success of being able to run the entire game, not only on defense but on offense as well,” Edwards said. “Being in peak condition and to be able to maintain that is very difficult to do, but there is

also a level of physicality with basketball. You have to have a strong core. You have to have strong shoulders, legs and backs. What Becky brings, it legitimizes our philosophy of aggressive defensive pressure and if we can do that the entire game then we’re going to stick with it the entire game.”

Though the workouts are voluntary, Lewis and Edwards say attendance is around 80 percent and very consistent.

Depending on what part of the body the team focuses on, it can make the rest of the day — and the days to follow — grueling.

“The rest of the day, if we do legs, I hate using the stairs, because your legs feel like Jell-o going up them,” senior forward Monty Cooper said. “The next day is even worse because you’re really sore.”

The workout itself is just as challenging. When the players see Lewis, they know they better be ready to work.

“They’re definitely not my best-looking days,” senior guard Dani Hayes said. “You roll out of bed and show up and you’re half asleep when you start and by the end you’re just exhausted. I guess you’re just tired from start to end,

but it pays off in the end.”

During the season the Royals don’t do as much training with Lewis because of the recovery time after a workout, but if Edwards sees a long enough break between games in the schedule he will take advantage of the opportunity.

Lewis started training in MMA in 2008. She played basketball in high school, so when she came to Lynnwood as a school resource officer in 2009 she approached Edwards, who didn’t need much convincing, about helping out with the team.

“She had me at hello,” Edwards said, quoting the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire.

“Coaching girls basketball is very fun for me. At the same time, there are a lot of things that I can’t relate to because I’m not a female. To have a strong female voice to be heard from our coaching staff was just vital, especially at that point in our program.

We needed to have some strength and direction that way from a strong female voice and Becky provided the voice and the physicality behind it.”

Her physicality has helped her to a 3-1 record as a fighter — two of those fights the team has been there to see. After having knee surgery, she hasn’t been able to fight for a year, but is looking forward to the opportunity to do so again soon.

While what Lewis brings to the team obviously helps

them physically, Edwards said her contribution to the mental side of the game is even more important.

“It’s more about the mental toughness,” Edwards said. “There are times where we have our talks before the games or at halftime and I look forward to hearing what Becky is going to talk about because it’s something that is typically inspirational and it’s something that’s just what we need to hear regarding the toughness and the mental part of the game because we’ve already put in the hard work physically.”

The Royals success has had a lot to do with the great players that have come through the program, but it started, not coincidently Edwards said, when Lewis arrived.

“I feel really blessed to have Becky be a part of our program,” Edwards said.

“She has truly made a difference. The reason we’re having the success we have now is key to when she arrived at Lynnwood High School and when she started working with our kids.

“Becky is my ace up my sleeve. She’s my gold mine and she has just tremendously impacted this program and I’m so happy that she’s with us still now.”

Homemade pad Thai, a tangle of noodles, peppers, spices, peanuts.

Homemade pad Thai brings generations together

P

unctuation strikes you as handy, tidy and responsible. It’s rash to sound off without the pause inspired by the comma or the deep breath mandated by the period. Punctuation saves lives — when applied judiciously. You sigh over that panda turned criminal in “eats, shoots and leaves.”

So it comes as a surprise to learn that among members of the handheld generation, punctuation is not merely considered superfluous. It’s rude.

The text message, that endless stream of abbreviations and emojis, flows unencumbered by dot or dash. Should you insert the semicolon or period, your correspondent will blanch with humiliation. She has been scolded. Mercilessly.

Which strikes you as unduly touchy. You give up composing messages and compose instead a bowl of pad Thai, that familiar tangle of noodles punctuated by pepper and peanuts. It engenders actual conversation, which both generations find delicious.

Period.

Pad Thai 4 ounces pad Thai rice noodles 6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon each: cornstarch, sesame oil 2 tablespoons each: lime juice, fish sauce 1 tablespoon each: brown sugar, Thai chili sauce 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes 1 cup peanut oil 1 egg, lightly beaten 3 green onions, white and green, thinly sliced 1 cup thinly sliced (on the diagonal) sugar snap peas 3 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts 2 tablespoons each, chopped: cilantro, basil 1 lime, cut into wedges 1. Soak: Settle noodles in a bowl.

Douse with hot tap water. Let soak, 30 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water.

Set aside.

2. Marinate: Toss chicken with salt, cornstarch and sesame oil. Set aside.

3. Stir: Mix together lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, chili sauce and red chili flakes. Set aside.

4. Organize: Set a colander over a bowl and keep it handy. Find the oven mitts. Set out all ingredients, in order.

5. Sizzle: In a wok (or heavy skillet), heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. When it’s very hot, add chicken.

Stir. Slip on mitts. When chicken turns white — about 1 minute — carefully pour chicken and oil into the colander, letting chicken drain and oil collect in the bowl.

6. Toss: Measure 3 tablespoons oil back into the wok. When it’s very hot, pour in egg, stirring briefly to scramble; push egg up the side of the pan. Tumble in green onions, stirring to coat with oil. Tumble in snap peas, stirring to coat with oil. Stir in noodles. Add chicken; toss everything (including egg) together.

7. Serve: When noodles are very hot, pull wok off heat. Pour in lime juice mixture; toss to coat. Stir in peanuts, cilantro and basil. Enjoy hot with lime wedges.

Prep: 45 minutes. Cook: 5 minutes.

ur family has been eating quite a lot of this pilaf. I think my oldest just loves to say the word: Peeee-laaaffff. It has a lovely way of dancing into a conversation.

If you’re not yet familiar with quinoa, it is a wonderful grain to add to your pantry staples. Full disclosure: quinoa is actually a seed but you can cook and use it just like a grain. It is notably high in fiber and protein, making it a stellar swap for rice as a side dish.

Our family really enjoys the roly-poly texture. Its flavor is quite neutral, just a little nutty, and easily influenced by cooking methods or sauces. Quinoa’s short cooking time is the feature that makes it a must-have on my ingredient list.

I can’t decide if my favorite part about this pilaf is the bright bursts of pomegranate, the satisfying crunch of toasted almonds, or the lively and unexpected

There’s plenty to like about easy-to-make quinoa pilaf 1⁄8 teaspoon sea salt The playful textures and inviting colors of this simple pilaf will make it a star at any meal. Serve it as a substantial side dish with fish or a rotisserie chicken and any old Tuesday will be transformed into a very special occasion. This pilaf is excellent served warm or cold.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and coat the bottom with a layer of oil mist. Sautee the onion and celery until the edges begin to brown. Add the quinoa and stock, give everything a quick stir, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the quinoa steam for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until they become fragrant and golden. Remove the almonds immediately and set them aside.

After 25 minutes gently fluff the quinoa and turn it into a serving bowl.

Add the almonds, and the remaining ingredients and toss everything together.

Braising basics Tips to coax cold-weather veggies into something warm, wonderful

By Molly Stevens Special to The Washington Post

Even the most dedicated herbivore can get discouraged by the monotony of root vegetables, potatoes, onions, brassicas and such that crowd our midwinter produce sections. Fortunately, there’s a surefire remedy for the winter vegetable blues: braising.

Yes, I know that most of us think of succulent, slow-cooked meats (such as short ribs and lamb shanks) when we hear that cooking term, but this method is indispensable for transforming hearty, long-stored vegetables into flavorful, soul-warming dishes.

I learned that when I wrote my first solo cookbook. It was winter when I started working on it, so I hungrily dove into developing the classic meat-based braises that I so adored — osso buco, pot roast, pork belly, coq au vin — thinking I’d leave the vegetable chapter for later; I didn’t

think it would be a very important chapter, anyway.

In short order, I found myself craving variety, and so I began to incorporate braised vegetables into my weekly recipe tests. I instantly fell head-over-heels for the way the technique added variety and complexity, and so much deliciousness, to my wintertime eating. By the time the book went to press, the vegetable chapter had become the biggest (and first) chapter in the book. Today I still love my classic meat braises, but for everyday eating I’m all about the vegetable braise.

For starters, braising refers to the age-old technique of cooking ingredients gently with a little bit of liquid in a covered pot. When applied to vegetables, braising can coax even the humblest plants into memorable dishes, and once you grasp the basic technique, the possibilities are endless.

The timing can be entirely

From left, butter-braised carrots and fennel with orange zest, and onions glazed with pomegranate molasses.

The main ingredient.

Although you can braise most any vegetable, this simple technique is best appreciated with the older, full-flavored vegetables of winter. A certain alchemy happens under the lid of a braising pot that softens their rugged textures and mellows assertive characteristics. Great choices for braising this time of year are: carrots, onions, turnips, rutabagas, fennel, leeks, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Jerusalem artichokes, endive, parsnips, salsify, escarole, mustard greens, collards and daikon radishes.

When prepping vegetables for the braising pot, I tend to go for larger chunks and pieces, keeping in mind that the more slowly they cook, the more flavor they absorb. Whatever size you choose, aim for uniformity so that everything cooks at the

flexible, too. In a hurry? Cut the vegetables smaller. Feeling languorous? Leave the vegetables in big chunks and let them simmer slowly. Of course, you’ll get more flavor exchange when you take your time, but you won’t ruin the dish by speeding things up. I find that most of my weeknight vegetable braises come together in under an hour, some in as little as 20 minutes, while I might let my weekend versions go for closer to two hours.

Most braises combine four elements: a main ingredient, liquid, seasonings and a bit of fat. When combined under the lid of a braising pot, the vegetables release their essences into the seasoned liquid, emerging infused with flavor and bathed in a savory sauce — a true example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. The key is to consider how each element contributes to the whole.

COOKBOOK CORNER

Nutrient-rich mushrooms with a deep, savory flavor

Expect the wurst in ‘New German Cooking’ Book: “New German Cooking” Authors: Jeremy and Jessica Nolen Jeremy Nolen grew up near Reading, Pennsylvania, helping his chef dad cook at the local German festivals. At age 19, he learned the classics from immigrant women in their 70s and 80s who produced the likes of sauerbraten and rolled beef for the private German club in Nolen’s hometown.

The 37-year-old chef and his pastry-chef wife, Jessica, 28, managed to write and test their recipes at home in a mere eight months while working at their Brauhaus Schmitz and Wurst Schmitz restaurants in Philadelphia. Their goal for their first cookbook was to demonstrate an evolutionary approach to the cuisine: seasonal, technique-driven, not heavy. He knew that some traditionalists would not be on board. “That lighter

same rate. If you’re combining vegetables, chop tough-textured ones a bit smaller than tender ones so everything will be done at the same time.

The liquid. This is what defines braising, and your choice of liquid provides the basic profile for the final dish. Water will create the cleanest, lightest taste, but broth (chicken, vegetable or meat) will add a definite savory quality: that hard-to-define umami.

Other favorite choices are wine, cider, beer, fruit juice, canned tomato, coconut milk and cream. Pungent liquids such as vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauce add tremendous flavor but are best used sparingly in combination with other liquids lest they overpower the dish. Building a braise is a balancing act, and you don’t want any single element to dominate.

The amount of liquid is also an important characteristic of a braise. For instance, if you add too much, you’ll be stewing, and the results become soupy and less concentrated. If you add too little, you’re more or less roasting, and you won’t get the yielding textures and

approach works against us,” he says.

I think they’ve nailed it, with dishes that taste clean and are omnivorously compelling.

Sausage and sauerkraut are not overlooked, figuring as signature DIY recipes and as main ingredients. But both components are fried into addictively crispy fritters, and they appear in braised rabbit and pierogi, respectively. Beer is poured into a vinaigrette for roasted parsnips and flavors a pan of brisket — not a typical German cut — and is paired with pickle juice to brine a roast chicken.

Hazelnut lovers like me are treated to a savory, rich soup, a compound butter with ramps and a pesto, in addition to a multi-layer torte that the Nolens’ patrons continue to demand as a permanent menu item. In fact, every one of Jessica Nolen’s desserts in “New German

profound flavor exchange.

My general rule is to pour in enough liquid to come about one-third of the way up the sides of the vegetable, but it depends on the vegetable. Dense, dry vegetables such as carrots or rutabagas might need a bit more liquid than endive or onions. The best practice it to peek under the lid during braising and add a few more tablespoons of liquid if needed.

If it appears that you’ve added too much, wait until the end, when you can remove the lid and boil down any excess.

The seasonings. From the simplicity of salt and pepper to an aromatic mix of herbs and spices, there’s no limit to the possible combinations of seasonings that you can add to a braise. Although some of my favorite recipes lean toward plainness (nothing more than bay leaf, garlic, salt and pepper with red potatoes), other times I like to amp up things by sauteing a selection of aromatic seasonings in a bit of oil (or other fat) before adding the vegetables and the liquid.

Classic choices for this flavor base are members of the onion family (garlic, shallot, leek, scallion), fresh or dried chilies, fresh ginger, ground spices, and fresh and dried herbs.

A bit of fat. This one is optional, but I urge you to

Cooking” looks tempting, including her bee sting cake (a classic bienenstich) and glazed gingerbread cookies.

The chefs’ recipe headnotes often educate about ingredient use in the old country. Germans are fond of quark, a fresh cheese akin to ultra-thick sour cream. Make Jessica Nolen’s take on German cheesecake and you’ll wonder how dense, New York-style cheesecakes ever became the standard; the quark and beaten egg whites make the texture light and luscious.

consider including some fat because of its amazing ability to add depth and richness to an otherwise plain dish. Even the thinnest thread of a tasty fat (think olive oil, butter, rendered bacon fat, ghee or duck fat) added at the start goes a long way to ensure wonderfully full-flavored braised vegetables.

The most common way to incorporate fat is to begin by sauteing the above-mentioned seasonings in a little oil. A bolder take would be to fry up bacon, sausage, pancetta or the like, and use it — and its rendered fat — to flavor the dish. You can also just drizzle a few drops of oil over the vegetables before covering the pot and setting it to braise. Trust me: Even that little bit of added fat makes a delicious difference.

Onions glazed with pomegranate molasses 1 pound white boiling onions, about 1 inch in diameter (see headnote) 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon peeled, minced fresh ginger root 1 clove garlic, minced 1 2- or 3-inch cinnamon stick 1 bay leaf 1 ⁄8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 pound assorted fresh mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, chanterelle and/or portobello, thinly sliced 1 cup no-salt-added beef broth or vegetable broth 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed 1 ⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed 12 ounces whole-grain dried penne 1 ⁄4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish 1 ⁄4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley Make ahead: The dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Reheat over low heat with a little added water or broth.

Boil a kettle of water.

Put the porcini mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with about 1 cup of boiling water.

Allow to sit for 30 minutes, then drain, reserving the liquid. Chop the rehydrated mushrooms.

ushrooms give a meaty heartiness and deep, savory flavor to dishes in a healthful way. You might be surprised to discover just how healthful.

The fungi don’t make it onto most typical produce “top 10” lists because those tend to focus on vitamins A and C and the rainbow colors. But mushrooms shine brightly as nutritional stars in many other areas. Just six medium-size white button mushrooms have more riboflavin (a B vitamin) than a cup of milk and nearly as much potassium as a small banana.

Mushrooms are loaded with essential minerals including selenium, copper and zinc.

Whole-grain penne with mushrooms and herbs 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms 3 tablespoons olive oil

⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more as needed Freshly ground black pepper 1 ⁄2 cup water, or as needed 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley Fresh pomegranate seeds (arils), for garnish (optional) 4 servings (makes 13⁄4 cups) Make ahead: The dish can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Note: Look for walnut-size boiling onions at the market.

Pearl onions work, too, but they are fussier to peel because they are smaller, and they might cook more quickly. If you happen to find fresh baby/spring onions (not skinny scallions), skip the blanching step. Instead, leave about 1⁄2 inch of the green stem and peel away only the thinnest outer membrane before braising.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Drop the onions into the water; blanch for 1 minute, then drain them and rinse quickly with cold water.

Drain again. Use a paring knife to trim off the root ends, and peel the onions.

Heat the oil and butter in a medium skillet (just large enough to hold the onions in a single layer) over medium-low heat until the butter melts. Add the ginger, garlic, cinnamon stick and bay leaf; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant and the ginger and garlic have softened, about 4 minutes.

Add the onions, stir to coat, and season with the crushed red pepper flakes, salt and and a pinch of the black pepper. Add just enough water to come about one-third of the way up the sides 1

of the onions.

Once the water begins to bubble at the edges, cover the skillet and adjust the heat as needed so the liquid bubbles at the edges. Braise until the onions are tender enough to easily pierce with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their size.

Uncover; increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a full boil. Discard the cinnamon stick and bay leaf.

When there is just under 1⁄4 inch of liquid left in the skillet, add the pomegranate molasses. Cook, shaking the pan to prevent the onions from sticking, until the pan liquid is reduced to a glaze and the onions are well coated.

Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Top with a scattering of the cilantro or parsley (to taste) and, if using, the pomegranate seeds. Serve hot or warm.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the fresh mushrooms; cook for about 10 minutes or until they have released their moisture.

Add the broth, the rehydrated, chopped porcinis and their soaking liquid, the thyme, 1 ⁄2 teaspoon of salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon of pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high; once the liquid starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for 20 minutes, until the liquid has reduced to form a slightly thickened sauce.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Add a generous pinch of salt, then the pasta. Cook according to the package directions. Drain.

Return the pasta to the pot; add the mushroom sauce and the 1⁄4 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano, tossing to incorporate. Taste, and season with more salt and/ or pepper as needed.

Divide among individual wide, shallow bowls. Garnish with parsley and more cheese.

Makes 6 servings.

Serve it alongside something meaty, like steak or chops. But it’s also a fresh counterpoint to a bowl of whole grains.

Make ahead: The dish can be refrigerated up to 4 days.

Melt the butter in a large skillet or shallow braising pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and coriander seed; cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is translucent.

Trim the fennel bulb(s); if desired, reserve a handful of the fennel fronds and coarsely chop them. Cut the fennel bulb into 1 ⁄2-inch-thick wedges.

Stir the orange peel and fennel into the shallot mixture until evenly coated; cook until the fennel just begins to sizzle, about 4 minutes. (This will give the fibrous fennel a head start on the quicker-cooking carrots.) Add the carrots, and season with the salt and a good pinch of pepper.

Add the vermouth or wine; once it begins to bubble, add the water. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for about 40 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Uncover; increase the heat to medium and let the liquid reduce for about 5 minutes or until it nicely coats the vegetables. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Discard the orange peel, if you like. Serve hot or warm, garnished with the fennel fronds, if using.

DAILY CROSSWORD

GRANDPARENTING

How to make nagging more constructive Dear Grandparenting: I will admit I have a tendency to nag. It is my nature to get after people to do things right. It is also my nature to stay on top of them until the job is done. My grandchildren hate me when I start to ride them. They call me Nanny Nag or the Nag Hag behind my back. I can understand why they feel that way, too. It is not fun to be bossed around. I don’t like repeating myself either.

But there is a right way and a wrong way and my grandchildren might as well learn that now. If they can’t learn to take orders, they will have a hard time going through life.

Our house is a battlefield at times. When I tell them to clean the kitchen, I mean spotless.

When I say put the dirty plates and utensils everything in the dishwasher, I don’t mean dump things in there willy-nilly. The plates go on the bottom rack stacked in the same direction, cups and glasses on top. When I say make your bed, that means tuck in both sheets. When I say clean up the bathroom, that means don’t leave toothpaste

smears in the sink. I am interested in your opinion on “nagging” my grandchildren. Is it a relationshipkiller? I hope you support me.

— Nanny Nag, Reading, Pennsylvania Dear Nanny: We have your back. It takes dedication, consistency and plenty of instruction to civilize the urchins. A household containing small children is not a democracy. Adults rule, which is why so many parents insist they never want their young children to mistake them for a friend. The kids need to get in line and follow the program.

The trick is to find the middle ground. No one likes constant criticism, but no criticism is an abdication of a grandparent’s responsibility to help mold and shape grandchildren. Nagging comes in different colors. There’s the aggressive, relentless red-hot nagging between frustrated mates in a bad marriage. Yours is a more neutral color — the constructive critiques of a loving grandmother.

Will this tarnish your relationship with your grandchildren?

No, as long you keep two things

in mind. First, use the approach of “there is a problem” instead of “you are the problem.” Secondly, keep your language focused on the task at hand. Instead of saying “I want” this or that to be done, say “The bed is not properly made.”

Using words like “I” and “me” personalizes the issue, and turns you into a facsimile of a slave driver.

It’s not what you say, but how you say it.

Secret texting puts wife on high alert Dear Abby: I was recently told by a friend that my husband had sent her texts of an inappropriate and sexual nature. My husband didn’t deny that he sent them and refused to tell me what he sent.

This woman is envious of my husband and jealous of our relationship. She often comments about how she’d love to have a man like mine, etc. My concern is, he admits he texted her, but I don’t understand why. My intuition tells me she told me the truth, but I want to trust my husband.

Now I’m suspicious.

I always want to check his phone, and analyze every aspect of our life and marriage. What do I do now? Is my marriage over? — Suspicious In Michigan Dear Suspicious: Your marriage may not be over, but it could be in jeopardy.

Marriage counseling may help you and your husband get back on track if he’s willing to go with you.

But if he isn’t, then for your own sake, get counseling on your own because you may need to talk to someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your turmoil.

Dear Abby: Every time my new wife and I visit my mom or she visits us, my mother scratches my back, rubs my arm, rests her hand on my inner thigh, tickles me, hugs me or touches me any chance she gets. I don’t reciprocate or validate the touching, but I don’t discourage it either. She has been this way for so long that I’ve just gotten used to it. I never noticed how creepy it was until my wife mentioned something.

The problem is, how do I address this with my mother? How do I have RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: We go out to eat occasionally with another couple I’ll call Jack and Jill. Most restaurants around here offer free refills on soft drinks or self-serve. Jack will order water (free) to drink while Jill orders a soda. They then take their empty glasses and refill them with a colorless soft drink.

They see nothing wrong with the practice. We think it’s stealing, and we are embarrassed. What are your thoughts, and how should we react when this is done in front of us?

Lately we have been making excuses to avoid going out with them. — Eating With Cheapskates Dear E.W.C.: I agree that it’s stealing. Jack and Jill are taking something to which they are not entitled.

Have you spoken to them about it? If you have, then because their behavior makes you uncomfortable, you are justified in not going out with them.

Redmayne lends voice to ‘Thomas’ movie

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, March 4, the 63rd day of 2015. There are 302 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On March 4, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated for a second term of office; with the end of the Civil War in sight, Lincoln declared, “With malice toward none, with charity for all.”

On this date: In 1789, the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress

met in New York.

(The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.)

In 1791, Vermont became the 14th state.

In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States.

The Confederate States of America adopted as its flag the original version of the Stars and Bars.

In 1913, the “Buffalo nickel” officially went into circulation.

LOS ANGELES — The No. 1 blue engine is getting a new friend in Eddie Redmayne.

Fresh off an Oscar win for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything,” the British actor will be heard in the next installment in the “Thomas & Friends” series, “Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure.” The 60-minute CGI feature will be released on DVD by HIT Entertainment in the fall of 2015.

Redmayne voices the role of Ryan, a new engine

on the Island of Sodor who Thomas meets on a quest.

“I grew up loving to watch Thomas and his pals getting caught up in unexpected and mischievous adventures. I jumped at the opportunity to get involved and what fun it was! I have never voiced an animated character before, and I had a complete blast,” said Redmayne in a statement.

Also joining in on the adventure are “Harry Potter” alums John Hurt, as Sailor John, and Jamie Campbell Bower as Skiff.

“It is a great show to be involved in and incredibly fun to record. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first animation and I look forward to everyone seeing the end result,” said Bower.

“Sailor John was

something of a departure from what I usually do and a lot of fun to play,” added Hurt. “I remember watching Thomas the Tank Engine with my children when they were young

and I’m delighted that it continues to appeal to each successive generation.”

t’s the ultimate game of Eye Spy for homeowners. And it’s taking place this weekend – March 6, 7 and 8 – at XFINITY Arena at Everett.

The 14th Annual Everett Home and Garden Show will feature hundreds of home improvement booths featuring specialized businesses ready to help you customize, update or design the home and landscape you’ve always wanted.

You’ll also spy booths filled with gifts, home comforts and foodie delights.

One of this year’s most visually stunning displays will be provided by Whispering Pines Custom Landscapes and Sterling Cabins.

Combining landscape design with the rustic refinement of tiny home building, the partnership of these two businesses at the home and garden show will provide attendees with a new perspective of homefront inspiration.

The award-winning Washington Association of Landscape Professionals will also host a display and have local professionals on hand to help you turn your gardening vision into a vibrant reality.

Inspiration will also be found at booth #158 where Chuck DeGraffenreid, owner of Renaissance Builders, will focus on specialized home modifications for handicap access, including stair lifts, elevators, grab bars, ramps and more.

Jim Ashe, producer of the show, is excited that renewable energy is another highlight of this year’s show.

“By harnessing the power of

the sun, wind or water, people all over the world produce their own pollution-free reliable electricity,” he said. “Technological advances, government assistance, the need for reliable power, and the growing urgency to reduce the use of fossil fuels make renewable energy systems increasingly attractive to people around the world.”

At booth #240, hosted by West Seattle Natural Energy, you’ll learn about the cost of installing a renewable energy source in your home or business along with the renewable energy incentives offered by Washington State.

Energy efficiency is also on the minds of the specialists at Snohomish County PUD; thus, the group’s TechniArt lighting professionals will be on hand to help you become an “Energy Smarty Pants.”

You’ll also be able to pick up PUD’s energy-saving kit that includes four LED light bulbs and a Watersense showerhead for just $10 plus tax.

The kit is a $60 value and is available while supplies last.

While browsing through the Everett Home and Garden Show, be sure to check out the lineup of guest speakers.

This year’s key note speaker is David Pehling of the WSU Extension Service.

He’ll be speaking about a topic that may be a little too familiar to many homeowners: nature’s rototiller – the mole.

Pehling’s discussion about mole and vole control in your lawn, garden and pasture will take place at 3 p.m. on Friday, noon on Saturday,

and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Whether you’re perusing the home and garden show to see what new products and ideas are out there or you already have a defined project in mind, be sure to take time out for some relaxation and socialization.

From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Friday, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, attendees are invited to enjoy a wine tasting sponsored by Dunn Lumber at the company’s spacious display, booth #184.

During the wine tasting, you can share inspirations and discoveries with other event goers plus gain insights from those who have already forged ahead with home improvement projects.

XFINITY Arena is located at 2000 Hewitt Avenue. Show hours are noon to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
