Lovick backs courthouse The county executive says he supports construction of a new structure, which has already cost taxpayers $29.3 million.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County Executive John Lovick on Wednesday recommended sticking with plans to build a new downtown courthouse on

Wall Street north of the county’s administrative buildings.

Some County Council members said they’d favor that course, if they can satisfy the city of Everett’s parking demands and keep the project within a $162 million budget. They have been pushing

Lovick to stake out a position all year.

“The proposal that is being presented to you today by staff is a proposal that I support completely and it is my recommendation to you,” Lovick said.

To salvage existing plans, the county would need to enter into a partnership with Everett.

It would likely entail a 20-year

lease of about 300 parking spaces in a future city-built structure on Hewitt Avenue.

As those negotiations advance, some council members have struck up parallel discussion about other options: choosing another site for the justice center or even abandoning the project at great expense.

EVERETT — The architect designed the cavernous space to work with boats.

But that business never materialized at the Port of Everett’s Waterfront Center’s Suite 116 after it opened four years ago.

Instead, the suite is where John Lundin makes booze, specifically vodka and gin. And even more specifically, small-batch, hand-distilled federally certified organic vodka and gin.

His company, Bluewater Organic Distilling, is one of a few hundred small distilleries in

the U.S. that are creating a craft liquor industry. Their proliferation in recent years echoes similar evolutions in recent decades in the beer and wine industries.

Small distillers are fighting for space on shelves and menus against industry giants such as Jack Daniels and Absolut.

Supporters in Congress, including Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., have reintroduced a bill to cut small distillers’ federal tax bills.

The proposed Small Distilleries Fairness Act, which is sponsored by Larsen and Ohio Republican Rep. Steve Stivers,

would cut by 80 percent the amount of federal excise tax paid by small distilleries.

The tax is based on the physical volume of pure alcohol in a distilled spirit. So, the tax is greater on a fifth of 90 proof vodka than on a fifth that is only 80 proof. The excise on Bluewater’s 90 proof vodka is $2.68 for a 750 milliliter bottle — which is size of most wine bottles — and $2.14 on its 80 proof product.

For the 80 proof, that adds up to $1,438 in excise tax on a pallet of 56 cases with 12 bottles each.

Under the Larsen and Stivers bill, he’d pay $287.

“That’s basically $1,150 to

Larsen sponsored a similar bill in 2013, but it died without getting a vote.

The current bill’s best odds are if it is folded into larger tax legislation, he said.

“We’re trying to level the playing field among small brewers, wineries and distilleries,” he said.

Congress has already stepped in to help small breweries and wineries. Craft beermakers pay about 39 percent of the excise tax that large breweries do.

Housing Hope, whose mission includes building more affordable places to live, is boosted by a donation of $200,000 from BECU.

Housing Hope is more than halfway to its $9.4 million goal in a multiyear capital campaign aimed at providing more affordable housing and jobs programs, and enhancing services for children. A recent grant from BECU, totaling $200,000 over three years, helped push the campaign past its 50 percent mark.

Money from the Generations of Hope Capital Campaign has helped build two new housing projects in Monroe, one finished and another under construction.

It will help build another housing complex in the Smokey Point area. Eventually, it will support expansion of the HopeWorks Station project on Broadway in Everett. And it will add services for children served by Housing Hope.

Along with housing and children’s services, the money will support HopeWorks employment programs.

“We started two years ago raising money toward this goal,” said Ed Petersen, chief executive officer of Housing Hope.

Petersen is also executive director of its affiliate, HopeWorks Social Enterprises, which is collaborating on the capital campaign. “We are at $5.3 million toward the $9.4 million goal,” Petersen said last week.

“We want to recognize getting that special BECU gift, a phenomenal investment. It took us over the $5 million mark.”

Nate Greenland, Housing Hope’s campaign director, said BECU community giving manager Debbie Wege and other BECU executives and staff visited HopeWorks Station in January.

Todd Pietzsch, BECU’s manager of public relations, said the credit union has supported Housing Hope for years, and that the $200,000 grant is the largest gift it has awarded to the housing agency.

“What’s unique for us about Housing Hope, it covers a continuum. It takes a resident from homelessness to treatment, if need be, to education and job

John Lundin, owner of Bluewater Organic Distilling in Everett, is hoping Congress will pass the Small Distilleries Fairness Act. The bill, proposed by Rep. Rick Larsen, would reduce the amount of federal taxes small distilleries like Lundin’s would pay. Lundin makes organic vodkas and gin in handhammered copper stills.

Massive sunken Japanese battleship found Associated Press TOKYO — Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Paul Allen and his research team have found the wreckage of a massive Japanese World War II battleship off the Philippines near where it sank more than 70 years ago, he said Wednesday.

The apparent discovery of the Musashi, one of the largest battleships in history, comes as the world marks the 70th anniversary of the war’s end.

Musashi, which was the only battleship that sank in the area.

“Judging from the location, it must be the Musashi,” Todaka told NHK public television.

The Musashi, commissioned in 1942, sank in October 1944 in the Sibuyan Sea during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, losing about half of its 2,400 crew members. The ship was repeatedly hit by torpedoes and bombs dropped by planes from Allied aircraft carriers.

Fossil jaw sheds light on human evolution

By Malcolm Ritter Associated Press

NEW YORK — A fragment of jawbone found in Ethiopia is the oldest known fossil from an evolutionary tree branch that eventually led to modern humans, scientist reported Wednesday.

The fossil comes from very close to the time that our branch split away from more ape-like ancestors best known for the fossil skeleton Lucy.

So it gives a rare glimpse of what very early members of our branch looked like.

At about 2.8 million years old, the partial jawbone pushes back the fossil record by at least 400,000 years for our branch, which scientists call Homo.

It was found two years ago at a site not far from where Lucy was unearthed. Africa is a hotbed for human ancestor fossils, and scientists from Arizona State University have worked for years at

KAYE REED / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The LD 350-1 mandible is shown just steps from where it was found in Ethiopia by Chalachew Seyoum, an ASU graduate student.

the site in northeast Ethiopia, trying to find fossils from the dimly understood period when the Homo genus, or group, arose.

Our species, called Homo sapiens, is the only surviving member of this group.

The jaw fragment, which includes five teeth, was discovered in pieces one morning by Chalachew Seyoum, an

Ethiopian graduate student at Arizona State. He said he spotted a tooth poking out of the ground while looking for fossils.

The discovery is described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Science.

Arizona State’s William Kimbel, an author of the paper, said it’s not clear whether the fossil came from a known early species of Homo or whether it reveals a new one. Field

work is continuing to look for more fossils at the site, said another author, Brian Villmoare of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Analysis indicates the jaw fossil came from one of the earliest populations of Homo, and its age helps narrow the range of possibilities for when the first Homo species appeared, Kimbel said.

The fossil dates to as little as 200,000 years after the last known fossil from Lucy’s species.

The fossil is from the left lower jaw of an adult.

It combines ancestral features, like a primitive chin shape, with some traits found in later Homo fossils, like teeth that are slimmer than the bulbous molars of Lucy’s ilk.

Despite that mix, experts not involved in the paper said the researchers make a convincing case that the fossil belongs in the Homo category.

And they present good evidence that it came from a creature that was either at the origin of Homo or “within shouting distance,”

said Bernard Wood of George Washington University.

The find also bolsters the argument that Homo arose from Lucy’s species rather than a related one, said Susan Anton of New York University.

The new paper’s analysis is first-rate, but the fossil could reveal only a limited amount of information about the creature, said Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York.

“There’s no head, there’s no tools, and no limb bones. So we don’t know if it was walking any differently from Australopithecus afarensis,” which was Lucy’s species, he said.

It’s the first time that anything other than isolated teeth have turned up as a possible trace of Homo from before 2.3 million years ago, he said.

“This fills a gap, but it hasn’t yet given us a complete skeleton. It’s not Lucy,” Delson said. “This is always the problem. We always want more.”

New trial in 2002 murder case

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County prosecutors received word Wednesday that a man serving a life sentence for the 2002 killing of Rachel Burkheimer will get a new trial.

The state Supreme Court declined to review the appeal filed by Snohomish County prosecutors challenging a ruling that overturned John Alan Whitaker’s 2004 murder conviction.

In 2013, the state Court of

Appeals ruled that Whitaker was entitled to a new trial, citing case law decided since his conviction.

The courtroom in Whitaker’s aggravated murder trial was temporarily closed to spectators while six prospective jurors were individually questioned about their fitness to hear evidence in the case.

Whitaker, 34, is serving a life sentence at the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe.

He has been behind bars since his arrest in late 2002.

Whitaker likely will be moved

to the Snohomish County Jail in the coming weeks, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Kathy Webber said.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe said his office plans to retry Whitaker. “Absolutely and without hesitation,” Roe said Wednesday. “While we disagree strongly with the court’s reasoning that has sent it back, we have only one way forward.”

Whitaker was one of eight people charged and convicted in connection with Burkheimer’s death.

The Marysville teen was lured to an

Everett home, where she was bound and beaten for hours.

She was hauled in a hockey bag to a rural area east of Gold Bar. Her ex-boyfriend, John Phillip Anderson, forced Burkheimer into a shallow grave and then shot her to death.

Anderson is serving a life sentence.

Whitaker testified that he participated in Burkheimer’s abduction and assisted in digging her grave.

Partial ban on rural pot extended

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council on Wednesday decided to extend a moratorium on marijuana businesses in certain rural areas after hearing more than two hours of testimony from people in the newly legal industry and concerned neighbors.

The council voted unanimously to extend the moratorium for up to six months but could enact permanent rules in the meantime. The council is to reconsider the issue at a meeting March 25 at 10:30 a.m., but council members do not plan to hear more testimony.

Five-point analysis at Legislature’s midpoint

I

t is hump day in the 2015 legislative session, day 53 of 105, after which lawmakers adjourn. At least that’s their hope.

Here are five landmarks of the Olympia session thus far and the road ahead.

JERRY CORNFIELD

Little rancor And it’s 1, 2, 3, why aren’t they fighting more? Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the lack of elections next fall. Or maybe everyone’s drinking a new brand of tea. Whatever the

reason, the big surprise in the first half of the session is the lack of rancor under the Capitol dome.

There’s been a paucity of partisan sniping in hearings, floor

debates, news conferences and even news releases.

As hard as it is to imagine, lawmakers are finding ways to disagree without being disagreeable. No one predicts it can continue to the end, but House and Senate leaders are enjoying it while it lasts.

Yes they can, No. 1 One of the most anticipated votes in the past three years occurred Monday, when the Republican-controlled Senate

passed a $15 billion transportation package containing a gas-tax hike. Nineteen Republicans supported the plan, and as of Wednesday morning none of them were facing a recall.

Attention now shifts to the House, where majority Democrats will craft a counterproposal. But it might gather a little dust before any vote. House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, a master puppeteer of making deals See CORNFIELD, Page A7

BOTHELL — There was a pattern and a game plan.

When someone broke into a car and stole a purse at a nearby LA Fitness parking lot Tuesday, Bothell police immediately headed toward the supermarkets in town.

They’d done their homework.

They’d studied the surveillance video from similar thefts when credit cards were used to buy gift cards before they could be reported missing. Officers had a good idea what the suspects looked like.

At the QFC, they found a man in the self check-out line. He’d bought an energy drink, a birthday card and two $50 VISA cards.

Inside his wallet, they allegedly found six credit cards belonging to the woman who reported her car had been broken into.

In the parking lot, they found his friend in a Jeep. And in the Jeep, they found the woman’s gray purse, a tool for punching out car windows, and a pair of leather gloves.

“We had 12 vehicle prowls in that location since November,” Bothell police Sgt. Ken Seuberlich.

LOCAL BRIEFLY

Jury selection begins in shooting death EVERETT — Jury selection started Wednesday in the murder trial of a Marysville man accused of gunning down a 15-year-old girl in Lake Stevens.

Erick Walker, 28, is charged with first-degree murder in the 2013 death of Molly Conley. The Seattle teen was walking with friends when she was shot in the neck.

Walker also is charged with multiple counts of assault and drive-by shooting in connection with a string of gunfire between Lake Stevens and Marysville in the hours after Molly was killed.

Lawyers are expected to spend the rest of the week selecting a jury.

Marysville: Charge in drive-by shooting Snohomish County prosecutors have charged a 15-year-old boy with drive-by shooting for gunfire at a Marysville house late last month.

Police found nearly a dozen .40-caliber shell casings in the roadway outside a house in the 3600 block of 73rd Drive NE. A witness

reported seeing the shots come from a white car. A short distance away police found a car that matched the description. There were four young people inside. The car had a flat tire.

Initially the group denied knowing anything about the drive-by shooting.

Officers found a .40-caliber handgun along a fence line near the car.

The teen and his cousin, 18, were arrested. They implicated each other in the shooting.

The other two passengers told police that the younger boy had shot out the window as they were driving away from the house. The case remains under investigation.

Lynnwood: Suspect in carjacking sought Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputies are looking for a man suspected of pulling a woman from her car Wednesday morning and driving away.

The incident was reported around 9:30 a.m. in the 17500 block of 17th Avenue W, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The suspect is in his late 20s to early 30s. He’s about 5 foot 5 and was wearing a dark hat and dark jacket.

He had no facial hair.

The car is a white 1997 Mercedes Benz 230.

The woman received minor injuries.

Anyone with information about the suspect or vehicle is asked to call 911 immediately.

concerns include crime, property values, the effect on children, noise, traffic and odor.

Marijuana business people say existing rules address those concerns adequately. One supporter likened the fears of neighbors to “a monster under the bed.”

“It’s difficult trying to balance these things,” Council Chairman Dave Somers said. “But we should be able to find a way” to satisfy businesses and residents “without outright banning it.”

Voters approved Initiative 502 in 2012. The council in 2013 enacted policies for pot businesses.

But after people voiced concerns, the council last October enacted a partial moratorium on new marijuana operations in some of the county’s rural areas.

The moratorium consists of two emergency ordinances, one addressing recreational marijuana businesses and the other related to medical-marijuana dispensaries and gardens.

Last fall, council members wanted more time to consider issues raised by people in the unincorporated Clearview area and in so-called R-5 zones — rural areas where the county typically allows only one house per five acres.

The county is home to about 16 operating state-licensed growers of recreational pot, many of which also process the plant for sale. At least seven marijuana retailers have opened in the county.

Residents’ worries

Snohomish: Woman who died in crash ID’d Officials have identified a Lynnwood woman who was killed Sunday in a crash near Snohomish.

The death of Donna C. Larsen, 59, was ruled an accident, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office. No new information was released Wednesday.

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

Deputies said the crash involved a Ford F350 and a Buick Skylark.

The pickup was southbound on 61st Avenue SE and Larsen’s Buick was eastbound on 64th Street SE. Larsen’s passenger was hospitalized. The other driver was not seriously hurt.

SEATTLE — Washington State Ferries says the ferry Tacoma is ready to begin sea tests after crews repaired its electrical system.

The Tacoma has been out of service for seven months while its damaged propulsion switchboard system was rebuilt. The ferry built in 1997 lost power July 29 while traveling from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Ferry system spokeswoman Susan Harris-Huether said a design flaw prevented a protective circuit-breaker

device from working properly. That resulted in significant damage to the electrical switchboard components — and ultimately led to the power failure.

Starting Thursday, the ferry system said people may see the Tacoma in Elliott Bay as crews conduct three weeks of sea trials.

When testing is complete, the ferry will have its annual Coast Guard safety inspection before returning to the Seattle/ Bainbridge Island route in April.

prompted the council to pass an emergency ordinance that banned growers, processors and retailers in the R-5 zone that weren’t already in business as of Oct. 1. The council enacted another measure that prohibited new medical marijuana businesses along a onemile stretch of Highway 9 in Clearview.

Dozens of existing and would-be growers in the rural areas formed a group known as the R5 Cooperative. It brought green-clad marijuana supporters to county meetings to push back against increasing political pressure from people who don’t want to live near pot businesses.

The elected council asked county staff and the volunteer Planning Commission to make recommendations for new rules before the temporary ban expired April 1. But the two groups came up with conflicting suggestions.

After holding public hearings in December, the Planning Commission recommended that the county regulate marijuana growers and processors based on the state’s threetiered system for different sizes of operations. It also addressed such nuisances as noise and lighting. For medical marijuana, the commission suggested the council wait for the Legislature to enact new regulations this session.

Meanwhile, county planners recommended that the council ban medical marijuana dispensaries and gardens in the Clearview area as well as recreational marijuana shops in the five-acre rural zones, at least for a while.

2015 LEGISLATURE

Panel OKs plan to eliminate graduation exams

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The House Education Committee approved a proposal Wednesday to eliminate the need to pass statewide tests to earn a high school diploma.

House Bill 1785 now moves on to the full House for consideration.

The proposal would keep the high school tests in place, but passing those tests would not be a graduation requirement.

Instead, students who fail to pass high school exams in eleventh grade would be required to take another class in the subject area during their last year of high school.

Since the graduating class of 2008, tests have

been a Washington state high school graduation requirement.

Current high school students are required to pass reading and writing tests as well as an end-of-course exam in math.

Beginning with the class of 2015, state law adds a biology test. Beginning in 2019, students would be required to pass a new set of exams.

The bill supported by Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn would also eliminate the transition period between the current statewide exams and the adoption of new tests based on the new national education standards known as the Common Core.

In other action, the Senate Higher Education Committee approved a bill

that could lead to lowering tuition rates at public colleges and universities. An amendment proposed by Democrats to add a way to pay for the decreases by closing tax breaks was rejected by the Republican members of the committee.

“Democrats and Republicans alike have talked about the importance of tuition reduction, but our

real responsibility is to actually identify a way to pay for it,” said Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, in a statement.

The bill would also take away permission from the state’s colleges and universities to set their own tuition.

Senate Bill 5954 now moves on to the Senate Ways & Means Committee for consideration.

And a piece of technology already in use by police to sweep up data from cellphone signals would require a warrant for any future usage.

“Technology today, we can take advantage of it to monitor wildlife or fight wildfires, but technology can also take advantage of us,” said Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland and the House’s Public Safety committee chairman, who voted for all three measures.

Much of the privacy-rights discussion centered on unmanned aircraft, sales of which have exploded in recent months.

Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, chief sponsor of

the bill to outlaw using drones for voyeuristic purposes, said private sales of drones had exceeded 1,500 per week during the run-up to Christmas, and he cited recent allegations of invasive drone use in Normandy Park, Washington, and northern Seattle as reasons a stronger law is needed.

“But for passage of this bill, there will be a drone peeping through every skylight,” Morris said.

His bill passed 94-3, but that is no guarantee it will clear the Senate. A similar bill passed the House 92-6 in 2014 but stalled in the Legislature’s other chamber.

House members also came down Wednesday against unsupervised police use of “Stingray” technology, which The News Tribune of Tacoma reported last summer had been employed by Tacoma police. The machinery imitates a cell tower signal and extracts data from cellphones that latch onto its signal, in some cases capturing data for authorities to parse later.

Unanimously, the House voted 97-0 to require a warrant to use the devices going forward.

“I have serious concerns about information collected from third parties when these devices are

used,” said the bill’s lead sponsor, Rep. David Taylor, R-Moxee.

The other privacy measure Taylor brought to the House floor Wednesday evening drew more heated debate over the limitations it would put on authorities. The bill, which passed 73-25, would require agencies to get Legislative approval to buy drones and other high-tech surveillance devices. It also would force an agency to get a warrant for many non-emergency uses of the technology.

Several legislators said they liked the bill’s protections of privacy against unfettered government

surveillance, but others said they believed it tied authorities’ hands too much. Rep. Drew Hansen, D-Bainbridge Island, said the bill would allow the Department of Natural Resources to monitor illegal dumping via drone but forbid the DNR from using the drone to figure out who is behind the dumping.

Existing law offers more useful safeguards, he said.

“If someone feels like a public agency has stepped out of line, they can go to court,” said Hansen, who voted against the bill.

State House votes to restrict surveillance, drones

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The state House of Representatives passed a series of bills Wednesday to strengthen privacy rights against emerging incursions from surveillance technology and drone aircraft.

Under the bills sent to the Senate by wide, bipartisan margins, it would become a state misdemeanor and civil liability for a private citizen to use a drone to peep on another person, and police would need specific legislative permission to buy new drones or other types of advanced surveillance technology.

LEGISLATURE BRIEFLY

Attempt to change state law draws fire OLYMPIA — Payday lenders are pushing Washington lawmakers to change a state law that restricts high-cost loans marketed to poor people.

The Seattle Times reported that the state’s payday lenders have lost three-quarters of their business in the five years since a

new law took effect. Led by Seattle-based Moneytree, the industry is lobbying lawmakers to alter the law.

The lenders support legislation to eliminate traditional two-week payday loans and replace them with “installment loans” that would stretch repayment out for up to a year.

The proposal has drawn bipartisan support and passed committees in both legislative chambers. Backers say it would help the lending business

and give people access to more affordable short-term credit.

But consumer-advocacy groups argue the changes would undermine the state’s 2009 reforms and put more people in debt.

Judicial review of mental health decisions gets OK The state Senate has approved a bill that would

Josh O’Connor, Publisher Neal Pattison, Executive Editor Jon Bauer, Editorial Page Editor Pilar Linares, Advertising Director

allow family members to ask a judge to step in if a mental health professional will not involuntarily commit a relative they believe could be suicidal or a danger to others.

Senate Bill 5269 passed Wednesday on a 46-3 vote and now heads to the House, which passed its own version of the bill earlier this year. In the House version the family petitions the mental health professional, who then notifies the court; the Senate

version allows the family to directly petition the court.

The Senate measure also allows anyone to submit a declaration in support of or in opposition to the initial detention. Both chambers will now work to reconcile their differences.

The law is named “Joel’s Law” for Joel Reuter, who was suicidal when Seattle police shot and killed him during a standoff in 2013.

Suit over death claims excessive force

By Steven DuBois Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — The mother of a southern Oregon man who died during an encounter with law enforcement officers has sued the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, saying deputies used excessive force.

The federal lawsuit filed in Eugene on behalf of Ann McKelvey, who represents the estate, says deputies discharged Tasers at least a half dozen times when trying to stop Walter Ray McKelvey, 26, from running into traffic on March 3, 2013, including after he was restrained and told deputies his heart hurt.

McKelvey’s attorney, J. Randolph Pickett, declined comment Wednesday. The sheriff’s office did not immediately return a phone message

seeking comment.

According to the complaint and prior news accounts, the case began when Walter McKelvey called police for help from Ray’s Food Place on Main Street in Canyonville, which is 200 miles south of Portland. McKelvey had many prior run-ins with authorities and was released from jail just a few days before.

When Deputy Sam Clayton responded, McKelvey told him he didn’t call the sheriff’s office. Instead, he asked Clayton for a ride to the local casino.

The deputy denied the request and tried to leave. McKelvey, however, flagged him down, saying he was being harassed by people. The deputy saw no one harassing McKelvey.

Another deputy, Jayson Forte, arrived. As Forte conferred with Clayton,

McKelvey went to the edge of the road and tried to hitch a ride to the casino.

The deputies went to the street to speak with McKelvey, who told them he had used methamphetamine earlier in the evening.

Forte tried to pull McKelvey away from the street, but he broke away and went into traffic, leading the deputies to fire their stun guns.

McKelvey fell to the ground, and the deputies got on top of him. The complaint says deputies continued firing their Tasers, even after McKelvey yelled for help.

“Several witnesses were at the scene and also reported that McKelvey was crying out for help,” the lawsuit says. “Some witnesses even begged the deputies to stop discharging their Tasers.” The

lawsuit does not identify the witnesses.

McKelvey stopped breathing at the scene. An autopsy found that meth intoxication, a brain cyst and excited delirium — a condition in which the heart races during a period of stress, often after drug use — caused McKelvey’s death.

The lawsuit says the deputies should have known not to use a Taser on someone who had taken meth.

A grand jury ruled in 2013 that the force used against McKelvey was legally justified.

Liquor: Would reinvest From Page A1

Small wineries only pay 18 percent, compared to bigname competitors such as Robert Mondavi Winery.

Distillers from Bluewater to Jim Beam pay the same amount, said Jason Parker, head of the Washington Distillers Guild. There are 113 small distilleries in the state.

“We just want parity” with other small-scale producers of alcoholic drinks, he said.

Parker is co-owner of Copperworks Distilling Co. in Seattle, which sells vodka and gin. It has been aging whiskey since 2013, which should be ready for sale next year, he said. “The whiskey will tell us when its ready.”

He expects to sell 3,000 cases of vodka and gin this year. Under Larsen’s bill, the distillery would save nearly $90,000.

“With that amount of

money, I would be able to hire two people to help with sales and another for production,” he said.

Lowering distilleries’ federal tax bill will also reduce the amount of state taxes they pay here. Washington taxes distilleries on the price of the bottle, including the excise tax.

“It’s a really sick way of doing business,” Lundin said.

The savings would help him to further expand Bluewater. Later this spring, the distillery is moving into a larger space at Waterfront Place and adding 10 to 12 employees, including up to eight fulltime positions, he said.

The new 4,800-squarefoot space is much more retail-friendly. It faces the water and has a sidewalk, something missing from Bluewater’s current location.

The space is only bare

bones now. Exposed girders and columns trace where walls will go.

“This area will open for outdoor seating when the weather’s nice,” Lundin said, sweeping a hand across the window-lined storefront. “And there will be a full bar here.”

The distillery will have a full kitchen with a smallplates menu highlighting local foods, especially seafood, he said. The location will also offer tastings and retail sales, and it will be able to host events.

“Just because you put a beautiful bottle on a liquor store shelf doesn’t mean anyone is going to pick it up,” Lundin said. “You have to build relationships — with bartenders, distributors, restaurants and customers.”

Keeping the cherries safe

Luis Chavez (left) and Jose Gracia ignite a bonfire Wednesday morning to protect cherry buds at Rancho El Rosario west of Prosser. Gracia, the orchard manager, started his work about 8:30 the night before. In all, he used 63 bonfires, 280 diesel furnaces and eight wind machines to raise the temperature in the orchard. Temperatures dipped below 20 degrees by dawn in several places throughout Yakima and Benton counties.

Courthouse: Biggest sticking point has been parking From Page A1

If county leaders were to give up now, they would still have committed $29.3 million in taxpayer money with nothing to show for it. That’s $3 million more than what officials said only a week ago.

Most of the expense is for an obligation to pay 10 years of interest on $75 million in bonds taken out for the project. The county already has spent $8.6 million for property condemnations and architectural designs specific to the existing proposal on Wall Street between

Rockefeller and Oakes avenues. The land includes a county parking lot with more than 130 spaces and six smaller business lots that the county condemned last year to make way for the new courthouse.

Everett city leaders put the project in doubt Christmas Eve, passing emergency parking rules for new government buildings in the downtown business district. That mandated more than 300 spaces at the county’s proposed 250,000-square-foot justice center.

The county had designed the building with only 30 to

40 spaces, reasoning they would merely replace the 1967 courthouse on the south side of Wall Street, about a block west.

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson has said Lovick’s deputy executive, Mark Ericks, led him to believe during private conversations last year that the project would include substantially more parking.

Council Chairman Dave Somers on Wednesday urged his colleagues to support Lovick’s office negotiating a partnership with Everett.

“If the city says ‘no,’ then the county could explore

other options,” Somers said.

After Lovick made his recommendation on Wednesday, staff presented the council with five different county-owned properties outside of Everett where a courthouse could, in theory, be built.

There were no estimates on cost and it was unclear whether council members were taking those alternatives seriously.

Councilman Ken Klein, meanwhile, said he would like to have two architectural firms take another look at two options the council ruled out in 2013.

One was an extensive renovation of the old courthouse and the adjacent Mission Building, with the addition of a new threestory building.

Another would involve relocating the courts and related functions to temporary space, so the existing courthouse could be torn down and a new one constructed on the same spot.

“I disagree that we can’t change our mind at this point,” said Klein, who took office last year. “If the taxpayers get the service they need for a lesser price, then why not look at it?”

Somers said it makes little sense to back away from decisions the council made years earlier.

“I personally am tired of chasing new options,” he said.

There’s urgency in deciding how to proceed. The county is losing about $200,000 for every month of delay — whatever course they end up taking.

“Those are dollars we will not get back — they’re gone,” facilities director Mark Thunberg said.

training, and to being a great citizen of the community,” Pietzsch said. “You’re giving the grant and seeing the difference.”

Since 1987, Housing Hope has completed 53 housing developments.

The Everett-based agency now manages 347 lowincome housing units. It has also helped more than 250 families build their own homes through a sweat-equity program.

The campaign’s three major themes are housing development, economic development and child

development, Petersen said. The $9.4 million raised is expected to be split among those three areas, with economic empowerment and jobs receiving the largest share, $5.48 million. Children’s services are budgeted to get $2.16 million, and housing and regional service centers will receive $1.45 million. Greenland said about $300,000 is budgeted for campaign costs.

Of the three housing developments being supported by the campaign, the 14-unit Woods Creek Village in Monroe opened in April 2013. The 47-unit

They could reunite, maybe enlist Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, and pursue a parliamentary move known as the Ninth Order to seize control of

the chamber to pass the bill. Stay tuned.

The C factors Making polluters pay is a popular idea in polls and a good slogan in a campaign. Doing it is another matter. Gov. Jay Inslee’s cap-and-trade proposal is parked in the Senate and inching along in the House. If it stalls, an alternative might surface that would impose a straight carbon charge.

Making the rich pay their fair share is also a popular notion and excellent slogan. To do it, Inslee wants a capital gains tax.

Chopp appears to like it, too.

That might earn it a vote in the House later this month, but it’s a seemingly impossible sell in the Senate.

McCleary syndrome The most challenging question facing lawmakers when the session began Jan. 12 was how they would satisfy the state Supreme Court in the McCleary case. It still is.

There’s no consensus on how much money to put into the public school system to comply with the court order, where those

A7

dollars will come from and what to do about Initiative 1351, with its billion-dollar price tag for smaller classes. House Democrats will provide answers on or around March 23, when they release their budget proposal. Senate Republicans will reply with their spending plan. Then the real work begins, to wrangle a deal before the session ends April 26.

Happy hump day.

Similar break-ins have occurred from Everett to Renton. Bothell plans to share information with other police agencies to see if the suspects might have committed other crimes.

Both suspects are 21.

One is from Burien, the other from Mountlake Terrace.

Seuberlich said athletic clubs can be a popular spot for thieves.

They know many people are stopping off to work out on their way home from their jobs and often will leave laptops or purses in their cars.

Those thieves also know a workout can take more than a half hour, which gives them time to break into the car and get to a store to buy gift cards.

“When people go to fitness clubs and leave work stuff in the car, it’s as if (they) are just hiding it in a glass box,” Seuberlich said. “It’s easy to break into a glass box.”

New challenge to health care law Supreme Court divided over tax subsidies that help pay premiums

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court took up a politically charged new challenge to President Barack Obama’s health overhaul Wednesday in a dispute over the tax subsidies that make insurance affordable for millions of Americans.

The outcome in what Justice Elena Kagan called “this neverending saga” of Republican-led efforts to kill the Affordable Care Act appears to hinge on the votes of Chief Justice John Roberts, whose vote saved the law three years ago, and Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Roberts said almost nothing in Wednesday’s 85 minutes of lively back-and-forth, and Kennedy, who voted to strike down the health law in 2012, asked questions of both sides that made it hard to tell where he might come out this time.

Otherwise, the same liberal-conservative divide that characterized the earlier case was evident in the packed courtroom with the same lawyers facing off as in 2012.

Millions of people could be affected by the court’s decision. The justices are trying to determine whether the law makes people in all 50 states eligible for federal tax subsidies to cut the cost of insurance premiums. Opponents say that only residents of states that set up their own insurance markets can get federal subsidies to help pay the premiums.

Roughly three dozen states did not set up their own exchanges and rely on the federal healthcare.gov. The Obama administration says it would make no sense to condition subsidies on where people live, and that doing so would set off a “death spiral” in which enrollment declined, driving

premiums up and leaving only the sickest, and costliest, people insured.

Liberal justices peppered lawyer Michael Carvin almost from the outset of his argument to limit the subsidies.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the law set up flexibility for states to either set up their own markets or rely on federal healthcare.gov. Giving subsidies only to people in some states would be “disastrous,” she said.

Several justices tried to use Carvin’s comments from the 2012 case that seemed to cut against his argument Wednesday.

Finally, Roberts gently came to his defense. “Mr. Carvin, we’ve heard talk about this other case. Did you win that other case?” Roberts said as laughter washed over the courtroom. “So maybe it makes sense that you have a different

story today?”

When Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. stepped to the lectern, the liberal justices fell silent, and Justices Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia took over. They questioned Verrilli over the four words in the law, “established by the state,” that the challengers say are clear and conclusive evidence that Congress wanted to limit the subsidies to state-run exchanges.

“I mean, it may not be the statute they intended. The question is whether it’s the statute that they wrote,” Scalia said of the provision in question, part of a more than 900-page law that passed Congress without a single Republican vote in 2010.

Verrilli argued that the law can only be read broadly because its very purpose was to reduce the ranks of the uninsured.

Defense: Tsarnaev carried out bombing

By Denise Lavoie Associated Press

BOSTON — The question is no longer whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev took part in the Boston Marathon bombing. It’s whether he deserves to die for it.

In a blunt opening statement at the nation’s biggest terrorism trial in nearly 20 years, Tsarnaev’s own lawyer flatly told a jury that the 21-year-old former college student committed the crime.

“It WAS him,” said defense attorney Judy Clarke, one of the nation’s foremost death-penalty specialists.

But in a strategy aimed at saving Tsarnaev from a death sentence, she argued that he had fallen under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan.

“The evidence will not establish and we will not argue that Tamerlan put a gun to Dzhokhar’s head or that he forced him to join in the plan,” Clarke said, “but you will hear evidence about the kind of influence that this older brother had.”

Three people were killed and more than 260 hurt when two shrapnel-packed pressurecooker bombs exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013.

Tsarnaev, then 19, was accused of carrying out the attacks with 26-year-old Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout and getaway attempt days later.

Authorities contend the brothers — ethnic Chechens who arrived from Russia more than a decade ago — were driven by anger over U.S. wars in Muslim lands.

Clinton’s emails subpoenaed by House WASHINGTON — A House committee investigating the Benghazi, Libya, attacks issued subpoenas Wednesday for the emails of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who used a private account exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state. The subpoenas from the Republican-led Select Committee on Benghazi demanded additional material from Clinton and others related to Libya, spokesman Jamal D. Ware said.

The developments came the same day The Associated Press reported the existence of a personal email server traced to Clinton’s Chappaqua, New York, home. It’s an unusual practice for a Cabinet-level member to run his or her own email server.

Obama signs Homeland bill President Barack Obama has signed a law funding the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year. Obama signed the bill Wednesday in the Oval Office. The White House wouldn’t permit reporters to attend the signing.

N.C.: Guards robbed The crew of a truck carrying a load of gold bars had just pulled off a North Carolina highway when a seemingly ordinary episode of carsickness turned into a multimillion-dollar heist. As soon as the guards stopped, three robbers drove up and confronted them at gunpoint. The robbers tied the crew’s hands behind their backs and marched them into nearby woods, authorities said. The thieves then set out orange traffic cones while they gathered up 275 pounds of gold bars worth $4.8 million and fled, leaving the two guards stranded. Wilson County Sheriff Calvin Woodard said Wednesday the guards were still considered victims, not suspects, but that all possibilities were being investigated.

AROUND THE WORLD Australia: Prisoner swap

MICHAEL DWYER / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Marc Fucarile and his wife, Jennifer, walk past protester Jose Briceno as they leave federal court Wednesday in Boston.

Federal prosecutors used their opening statements, along with heartbreaking testimony and grisly video, to sketch a picture of torn-off limbs, ghastly screams, pools of blood, and the smell of sulfur and burned hair in the streets of Boston. They painted Tsarnaev as a cold-blooded killer.

Tsarnaev planted a bomb designed to “tear people apart and create a bloody spectacle,” then hung out with his college buddies as if he didn’t have a care in the world, prosecutor William Weinreb said.

“He believed that he was a soldier in a holy war against Americans,” Weinreb said. “He

also believed that by winning that victory, he had taken a step toward reaching paradise.”

Among the first witnesses for the prosecution were two women who lost legs in the attack.

Tsarnaev slouched in his seat and showed little reaction as the case unfolded. Apart from a question or two, the defense did not cross-examine the first few prosecution witnesses.

About two dozen victims who came to watch the case took up one entire side of the courtroom, listening somberly to details of the carnage.

Because of a wealth of evidence against Tsarnaev

— including a video of him leaving a backpack at the scene, and incriminating graffiti scrawled on the boat where he was captured — legal experts have said there is little chance of escaping conviction.

Instead, they said, Tsarnaev’s lawyers will concentrate on saving his life by arguing that Tamerlan was the driving force in the plot.

Clarke called the bombings “senseless, horribly misguided acts.” But she asked the jurors to “hold your hearts and minds open” until the penalty phase, when the panel will decide whether Tsarnaev should be executed or get life in prison.

U.S. envoy to South Korea slashed in attack Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert was slashed on the face and wrist by a man wielding a knife with a 10-inch blade and screaming that the rival Koreas should be unified, South Korean police said Thursday.

The U.S. State Department condemned the attack, which happened at a performing arts center in downtown Seoul as the ambassador was preparing for a lecture about prospects for peace on the divided Korean Peninsula, and said Lippert was being treated at a local hospital and his injuries weren’t life threatening.

YTN TV reported that the suspect — identified by police as 55-year-old Kim Ki-jong — screamed during the attack, “South and North Korea should be reunified.”

A witness, Ahn Yang-ok, the head of the Korean Federation of Teachers’ Associations, told

YONHAP

Injured U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert gets into a car in Seoul, South Korea, on Thursday after he was attacked.

YTN that Lippert had just been seated for breakfast ahead of the lecture organized by the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation when a man ran toward the ambassador from a nearby table and slashed him with a knife.

Yonhap TV showed men in

suits and ties piled on top of the attacker, who was dressed in a modern version of the traditional Korean hanbok, and Lippert later being rushed to a police car with a handkerchief pressed to his cheek. The suspect also shouted anti-war slogans after he was detained,

police said.

A police official said the suspect in 2010 threw a piece of concrete at the Japanese ambassador in Seoul. South Korean media reported that in August 2010 that Kim was sentenced to a three-year suspended prison term over the attack. Kim was protesting Japan’s claim to small disputed islands that are occupied by South Korea.

The attacker’s reported comments Thursday on Korean reunification are likely linked to lingering, deep divisions in South Korea that stem from the 1950-53 Korean War. The rival Koreas have been divided for decades.

The U.S., which backed South Korea during the war against China-backed Pyongyang, still stations 28,500 troops in South Korea as a deterrent against North Korea, and some South Koreans see the U.S. presence as a barrier toward a reunified Korea.

Australia has offered Indonesia a prison swap deal in an 11th hour bid to save the lives of two Australian drug smugglers who are to be executed by firing squad within days. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Thursday she made the proposal to her Indonesian counterpart, Retno Marsudi, who had agreed to convey it to President Joko Widodo.

An Australian newspaper reported Bishop had offered to repatriate three convicted Indonesian drug criminals in return for the lives of the Australians, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

Britain: WHO says cut sugar The U.N.’s World Health Organization said Wednesday the world is eating too much sugar and people should slash their intake to just six to 12 teaspoons per day — an amount that could be exceeded with a single can of soda.

The guidelines finalize draft advice first released last year and are focused on the added sugars in processed food, as well as those in honey, syrups and fruit juices. The advice does not apply to naturally occurring sugars in fruit, vegetables and milk, since those come with essential nutrients.

China: Military budget China’s official military budget will grow by about 10 percent in the coming year, a legislative spokeswoman said Wednesday, amid unease among Beijing’s neighbors about its growing might and territorial ambitions. The increase to about $145 billion in spending would mark the fifth year in a row of doubledigit increases despite the country’s slowing economic growth, which fell to 7.4 percent last year from 7.7 percent the previous year.

Italy: 1,000 migrants saved In dramatic sea rescues north of Libya, a flotilla of ships saved more than 1,000 migrants and refugees, while 10 migrants died in the southern Mediterranean, Italian officials said Wednesday. Rescue vessels, including from Italy’s coast guard and navy, and three cargo ships saved 941 people in seven separate operations that began Tuesday, Italy’s coast guard said. On Wednesday, the coast guard and two cargo ships rescued 94 migrants 40 miles north of Libya, the coast guard said. The migrants had been aboard five motorized dinghies and two larger vessels. One of the larger boats capsized.

Obama’s Keystone veto stands

By Dina Cappiello Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday failed to override President Barack Obama’s veto of a bill to construct the Keystone XL pipeline, the first of many confrontations between the Republican-controlled Congress and the White House this year over energy policy.

The 62-37 vote is expected to be one of many veto showdowns between Republicans and Obama in his final term. Already,

the White House has issued more than a dozen veto threats on legislation.

Proponents of the Keystone bill have said since its introduction that they didn’t have the twothirds of the Senate vote needed to override Obama’s veto. They fell four votes short.

They’ve already been discussing other way to force the pipeline’s approval, either by attaching it onto must-pass spending bills or other, broader, energy legislation.

“If we don’t win the

battle today, we will win the war because we will find another bill to attach this pipeline to,” said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., the chief sponsor of the bill, before the vote.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pleaded with Democrats for more support of a bill that he said advanced Obama’s priorities.

“If you’re interested in jobs and infrastructure and saving your party from an extreme mistake, then join us,” he said. “Vote with us to override a partisan veto and help the president pursue

priorities he’s advocated in the past.”

Obama has repeatedly resisted Congress’ attempts to force his hand. His veto of the bill, the third of his presidency, said that the bill circumvented longstanding and proven processes for determining whether cross-border pipelines serve the national interest and cuts short consideration of its effects.

The $8 billion project would transport oil extracted from Canada’s tar sands to pipelines linked to Gulf Coast refineries.

NEW YORK — McDonald’s says it plans to start using chicken raised without antibiotics commonly used in humans, and milk from cows that are not treated with an artificial growth hormone.

The company says the chicken change will take place within the next two years. It says suppliers will still be able to use a type of antibiotic called ionophores that

keep chickens healthy and aren’t used in humans. The milk change will take place later this year.

Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their livestock antibiotics to make them grow faster and ensure they are healthy. The practice has become a public health issue, with officials saying it can lead to germs becoming resistant to drugs so that they’re no longer effective in treating a particular illness in humans.

it unabashedly calls the “world’s strongest.”

Squares in the netting are formed with braids instead of the traditional knots, making it less likely to loose its shape or break, according to its makers.

NET Systems incorporates the material into its trawl fishing systems, which are sold to fleets around the globe. Now the

company is casting its own net wider, with an effort to introduce the same technology to the purse seine industry. Purse seines enclose fish in a bag-shaped net that is tightened like a drawstring purse.

McDonald’s changing its chicken, milk

Transcripts of Federal Reserve meetings in 2009 showed central bank officials struggling to contain the worst financial crisis in seven decades and searching for the right policies to halt a deepening economic downturn.

The transcripts released Wednesday revealed that officials were worried about the precedents being set by providing billions of dollars of government support to the nation’s largest banks. They also searched for ways to provide support to an economy that seemed to be in free fall at the beginning of the year.

Current Fed Chair Janet Yellen was particularly spot-on in her predictions for a weak recovery and her insistence that the world’s biggest economy needed more help.

Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson expects the price of oil to remain low over the next two years because of ample global supplies and relatively weak economic growth. In a presentation to investors outlining its business plans through 2017, Exxon assumes a price of $55 a barrel for global crude. That’s $5 below where Brent crude, the most important global benchmark, traded Wednesday.

FRANKFURT, Germany — In Europe, SUV now stands for: Shrinking Utility Vehicle.

An array of small sport utility vehicles is going on display this week at the Geneva International Motor Show.

Automakers are piling into the segment as one of the best hopes for growth in a stillweak European market.

Consumers like the higher seating, easier entry and perceived greater freight-carrying capacity. Auto makers like the fact that they can build an SUV body on the same mechanical platforms and modules they use for compact cars, saving money on development costs.

The key in Europe has turned out to be putting the vehicles on platforms originally built for compact or small mid-sized cars. They’re generally less than 177 inches long, or smaller than a Honda Civic, which measures 179.4 inches.

Compact SUVs have gained in popularity globally, but they’re really getting attention now in Europe. The smaller size helps with narrow streets and tight parking in European cities that made full-size SUVs less practical for many people, and a little politically incorrect as well for the more environmentally conscious.

The recently lower price of

5 stunners from auto show

SUVs gasoline will not hurt, although gas remains painfully expensive in Europe compared with the United States due to high taxes.

At the Geneva show, among the top new contenders is the Renault Kadjar, which blends the more rugged SUV style with cues from cars and station wagons, such as a lower roofline and comfortable interior, in a small, 4.45-meter package. The Kadjar is headed for the European market this summer and China after that.

Hyundai’s redesigned Tucson has grown slightly but is only a fraction longer at 176.2 inches.

In the higher priced realm, Infiniti is showing off its QX30 concept vehicle, which keeps the higher stance of an SUV and uses carbon fiber cladding and large 21-inch wheels with milled aluminum spokes.

The QX30 aims at one of the problems of the segment’s popularity: how to distinguish one’s entrant from all the others. The

The New Renault Kadjar on display at the Geneva International Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland.

QX30, which will be introduced as a production vehicle in 2016, tries to do this with bold styling; it has sharp metal curves and flares that stand out.

In the smaller, compact category, Honda is offering its new H-RV, which goes on sale in Europe this summer. It blends a basic hatchback configuration with SUV styling such as cladding and bold creases in the body metal.

Chinese newcomer Qoros is unveiling its 3 City SUV, a crossover that for now is headed for China only.

Analyst Tim Urquhart at IHS Automotive says these new models are further evidence that European car buyers are shifting

its knotless netting.

“We’re trying to convince them and show them this is a better product,” said shop foreman Brian Chace, who spends part of the year fishing on a purse seiner. “This will last longer, have less distortion and have less drag through the water.”

The move into the purse seine is another step for a company that has long adapted to the ebb and flow of its industry.

away from classic sedans and hatchbacks in favor of SUV body styles.

“It’s signaling a bit of a sea change which has been happening in the European market for the better part of a decade now, a gradual shift from passenger car-style body types, your conventional sedans and hatchbacks, and more toward these SUV and crossover sort of vehicles.”

Small SUV sales in Europe are expected to triple from 1.1 million to 3.2 million annually over the next decade, IHS Automotive predicts. That’s even as small and midsize car sales show only stable sales, rising from 4.7 million units to 5.3 million.

in 1978, at the start of a Pacific fishing boom. Two years earlier, Congress had passed legislation aimed at the “re-Americanization” of fisheries off the U.S. coast, encouraging rapid expansion in the domestic fleet. More boats fishing meant more work for equipment makers.

“We rode that wave,” Oliver said.

Intense competition also put pressure on net builders to create gear that could catch more fish faster.

“I have to say, the early years were pretty exciting,”

erless cars, electric power or even green technology.

There is no doubt what visitors are coming to see at the glamorous Geneva motor show: High-end, impossibly expensive but seductively powerful sports cars.

Ferrari 488 GTB The legendary sports car maker from Maranello, Italy, is sure to draw crowds with its 488 GTB. Its newly designed turbo-charged V8 engine accelerates the twoseater from 0 to 62 mph in 3 seconds flat. By comparison, the fastest and most powerful Corvette ever built, the Z06, does 0 to 60 mph in 2.95 seconds.

Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa vaunted the engine’s characteristic Ferrari sound, the “deep, seductive soundtrack” in Ferrari’s words. Ferrari has even invented a new shade of its legendary red color for the 488’s paintjob. Millions of tiny particles are suspended in the paint to give it extra glossiness.

Oliver said. “ ... And the development of the trawl gear was pretty fast paced.”

In following decades, stricter catch quotas capped the amount boats could expect to earn. The industry consolidated and refocused. The new impetus for net makers was to produce designs that would be less expensive to fish and more environmentally friendly.

“We’re still innovative, and we’re always looking for more efficient gear, but it’s a different pace,” Oliver said. “Now it’s, ‘I know how

During a demo, the driver for the Superveloce (superfast, in Italian) made sure to gun the engine and show off the metallic music made by its mighty 750 horsepower engine. It has the classical Lamborghini design — low-slung, angular and lethal-looking with lots of expensive carbonfiber materials. It can hit a top speed of 217 mph and its powerful brakes can bring it to a stop in only 30 yards from 62 mph.

Audi R8 The German luxury car maker from Ingolstadt in Bavaria unveils its secondgeneration R8 supercar.

With a V10 engine capable of 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, and an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis shared with the Lamborghini Huracan, the new R8 weighs 50kg less than its predecessor while being 40 percent more stiff, Audi says. Muscular angles and scooped-out sides scream supercar.

much I’m going to catch, how can I do it smarter?”’

From the start, NET Systems built its reputation on manufacturing complete trawl systems — constructing the nets, but also gear needed to deploy them. At the Day Road facility, about 60 workers are employed in three main divisions.

The net factory, where the looms are located, churns out netting. Inside the cavernous net loft next door, netting is cut, sewn and assembled by hand into a wide array of products.

Mercedes-Maybach S-600 Pullman This is a limousine of nearly unheard of luxury.

With armour cladding as an option, the new Pullman is more than a meter longer than the next biggest Mercedes S-class and significantly taller, too.

Costing more than $500,000, few in the crowd could contemplate buying the car.

BMW 2-Series Gran Tourer What’s a minivan doing on this list? The new 2-Series Gran Tourer might not be a supercar, but it is a blinged-out people mover for “young active families,” the Munich-based car maker says.

BMW says it’s the first premium compact able to carry up to seven people, including up to five child seats for those carpool runs to soccer games or birthday parties.

The $30,000 van aims to help BMW take on rivals such as Renault’s Grand Scenic in a market category that BMW hasn’t traditionally competed in.

Finally, there’s the steel shop, where metal components like the trawl doors used to spread the nets are fabricated.

Chace, who joined NET Systems from MARCO Global, said the island company’s integrated model is one reason it’s well suited to take on the purse seine business.

“This was a good opportunity to be involved in a company that sees the whole fishing industry,” Chace said. “This, I think, is a big step in the right direction.”

IN OUR VIEW | Women’s History Month

Put a woman on the $20 bill It may always be “all about the Benjamins.” But maybe it should also be all about the Bartons, the Tubmans or the Roosevelts.

Clara Barton, the Civil War nurse who founded the American Red Cross; Harriet Tubman, who served as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad and a Union Army nurse during the Civil War; and Eleanor Roosevelt, who redefined the role of the First Lady and drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the U.S. delegate to the United Nations, are among 15 women who are offered as candidates to replace President Andrew Jackson on the U.S. $20 bill.

The effort, Women on 20s, seeks to replace Jackson with a woman important to U.S. history and culture, and it hopes

to see the change to the $20 by 2020, when the 19th Amendment, giving women the vote, marks its 100th anniversary.

While women’s suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony and Lewis and Clark expedition guide Sacagawea have been honored on the dollar coin, it would be the first time a woman would be so honored on U.S. paper currency.

Jackson was first placed on the $20 note in 1924, bumping off President Grover Cleveland. The U.S. $20 was last redesigned by the U.S. Treasury in 2003, so it’s due for a new look and new anti-counterfeiting features that were added to Benjamin Franklin’s $100 bill in 2013.

The campaign makes a couple arguments for removing Jackson, one of which would likely please Old Hickory,

himself; Jackson was a critic of the central banking system and favored gold and silver coinage over paper money.

While Jackson was celebrated for his victories in the War of 1812, as president he also was responsible for ruthlessly enforcing the Indian Removal Act of 1830, also referred to as the Trail of Tears, which forced Indian tribes from their ancestral homelands in the southern U.S. to Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. Few figures in U.S. history are without their flaws, but there were better choices than he for the $20.

Admittedly the list of 15 women suggested by Women on 20s, which offers an online ballot asking people to choose three candidates for further consideration at womenon20s. org, leans to the left. Among the candidates are Margaret

Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood and “Feminine Mystique” author Betty Friedan. Including some candidates more palatable to the right would have broadened the campaign’s appeal. But there are candidates who can find support among left and right, including abolitionist Sojourner Truth and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Women on 20s hopes to gather 100,000 petition signatures to forward to President Barack Obama and the Treasury Department, which would have the final say.

One hundred years after women secured the right to vote, it’s appropriate to honor their contributions to our history and society by honoring one of them with a small paper portrait we carry with us.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MILITARY FORCE

We must oppose all calls for war Regarding President Obama’s request for the Authorization for the Use of Military Force: As a member of Snohomish County Peace Action, and a concerned citizen who opposed the invasion of Iraq, and despairs of all that has resulted from that illconceived act, I urge you to take a stand with me against any increase in the involvement of our country — other than completely humanitarian — in the Middle East or anywhere else. We have only been made less safe by this military misadventure and our citizens have been robbed of the benefits that could have been secured by using the funds squandered on war for education and infrastructure and health care and housing the homeless, etc.

Please join me in opposing this perpetuation of war.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Requiring immunizations

Let parents weigh good, bad of vaccines

By Tiffany Webb

T

hank you for printing the article Feb. 23, “Antivaccine moms discuss their thinking.” It said many of the things I’ve been saying in my head during the recent debate on vaccinations and the proposal by our lawmakers to remove the “personal or philosophical” exemption.

I also have been offended by the insinuation that families who choose not to vaccinate their children, or use an alternative schedule, are naive, uninformed or have been persuaded by junk science. On the contrary, the families that I know who have chosen to go a different route than the usual schedule are all college-educated, usually with backgrounds in science and technology.

It’s because of that

background and education that we ask questions.

And when a question isn’t answered well or completely, we feel comfortable saying “No, thank you,” or “We’ll wait,” or “I’m going to do some more research.”

Yes, measles is a dangerous and preventable childhood disease. But also, yes, vaccines have health risks. The CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) exists because there have indeed been adverse events. The Vaccine Information Statement sheet that we all are handed when we have a vaccine is standardized and published by the government because there is important information that we need to know — that there are risks involved with the decision to use this vaccine.

So each family needs to weigh the risks and benefits

and make a decision, based on their situation, their concerns, their family. Here’s an example from our own: The current CDC schedule lists the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine for all adolescents, ages 11-12 years. HPV is sexually transmitted. We don’t think our 12-year-old homeschooled son is at a huge risk for being exposed to this virus.

Of course we could be wrong.

We may, or he may, decide to take this vaccine later on in life. That is our choice and his to make.

This decision of ours isn’t a religious one, and isn’t healthbased. It’s based on our decision that we don’t want to expose our son to the risks of a vaccine that we don’t think will add any benefit to his life at this time. So if our lawmakers remove the “personal or philosophical” exemption,

we have another choice next time we fill out a form — to lie and check another box, or be coerced into accepting a health care decision that’s not in our son’s best interest.

I would urge other families who have made alternative vaccine decisions to speak up about their choices. To explain to health care providers and lawmakers in particular, why we’ve made these choices — whether they are medical, religious or personal or philosophical. We all need to be better informed and more thoughtful about the choices we make. We do all have a responsibility to help protect our community. But our most immediate community, the ones we can make choices for, the ones in our own homes, are our first responsibility.

Netanyahu makes Israel’s demands clear

I

sraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lobbied powerfully against a nuclear agreement with Iran in a wellcrafted speech to Congress on Tuesday.

The problem is that he has now created a zero-sum game with the Obama administration, in which either the president or the prime minister seems likely to come out a loser.

Playing for huge stakes two weeks ahead of the Israeli elections, Netanyahu gave what may prove to DAVID IGNATIUS be the defining speech of his career. He opened graciously with praise for President Obama, which made his critique of the administration’s diplomacy all the stronger. Netanyahu warned that the planned agreement would create a “nuclear tinderbox” in the Middle East and “inevitably lead to war.”

Netanyahu’s speech deepened his divide with the White House, where the boisterous cheers for the Israeli prime minister on the House floor must have sounded like a rebuke. The speech has also created a new dynamic that may put the Middle East even closer to the knife’s edge.

Consider the possible outcomes as the Iran negotiations head toward a March 24 deadline: Netanyahu could “win,” and convince Congress to derail the biggest foreign policy initiative of Obama’s presidency. Or Obama could “win,” and push ahead to conclude what Netanyahu characterized as “a very bad deal.” Either outcome would traumatize U.S.-Israel relations and portend a poisonous final two years for Obama’s presidency.

Two other hard landings are possible after Netanyahu’s high-wire performance.

Iran could balk at further concessions, walk away from negotiations and accelerate its nuclear program — forcing the U.S. and Israel to consider military action. Or Netanyahu, having bet his political future on the visit to Washington, could lose in the Israeli elections on March 17. .

What’s least likely is that Tehran will bend enough to agree to Netanyahu’s formula.

Netanyahu’s speech didn’t offer many new ideas, but a White House senior official’s dismissal of it as “all rhetoric, no action” was overstated. Although the Israeli leader clearly rejects the deal Obama is contemplating, he argued that if the U.S. is determined to proceed, it should insist that the agreement not terminate until Iran has abandoned its aggression in the region, halted its terrorism and accepted Israel’s existence.

Obama hopes for just such an evolution toward post-revolutionary sanity in Tehran over the decade-long duration of the planned agreement, and Netanyahu is right that it would be good to put this in writing. But that would almost certainly be a deal-breaker for Tehran.

The most obvious problem with an Iran agreement is that it would create a new breach with Israel. Washington and its allies would worry that Israel might take unilateral military action against what Netanyahu has described as an existential threat. A deal would also bring inevitable allegations that Iran was cheating. This could trigger new rounds of sanctions legislation by the U.S. Congress that could, in turn, lead Iran to argue that Washington was reneging — and result in the pact unraveling.

An agreement would also, as Netanyahu warned, mean a new era of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey sought to achieve the same “nuclear threshold” status the pact would give Iran. The race toward nuclear capability would accelerate across the region. As bad as the Mideast is now, it could get much worse.

The other path is the one where U.S. diplomacy fails. This could result from a hardening of the U.S. or Iranian positions, from new sanctions legislated by Congress, or simply the inability to bridge existing gaps. Here, again, greater tension is likely — with U.S. and Iranian forces at dangerously close quarters in the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.

What Netanyahu did Tuesday was to raise the bar for Obama. Any deal that the administration signs will have to address the concerns Netanyahu voiced. Given what’s at stake in the Middle East, that’s probably a good thing. As administration officials said at the outset of negotiations, no deal is better than a bad one.

The Israeli prime minister’s speech, for all its divisive political consequences, served to sharpen the focus on what a good deal would look like.

USS Ranger’s final voyage

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Bus drivers’ potty coordinator to make $97K SEATTLE — The agency that provides bus service is the Seattle area is looking to hire a “comfort station coordinator” whose job will be to find easily accessible restrooms for drivers. King County Metro says the job will pay as much as $97,000 a year.

Metro Transit spokesman Jeff Switzer told KOMO-TV News the agency has an obligation under the law to the 2,600 drivers who keep the community moving.

Metro was cited last November by the state Department of Labor and Industries after an audit found drivers were not provided unrestricted access to restrooms and some wore diapers.

Campus rage: Bubble ball soccer

By Andy Matarrese Daily Record

ELLENSBURG — Central Washington University junior Savannah Isbey was working out in the school’s Recreation Center when she first saw it: Bubble ball soccer — full-contact indoor soccer played inside giant inflatable bubbles.

“It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, so it was definitely something I wanted to do,” she said.

Isbey was among the dozens at the Student Union and Recreation Center on Thursday who came to watch or participate in the university’s latest intramural sports offering.

“Basically, it’s just soccer with full contact,” said Jordan Stinglen, an events and intramural coordinator at the center.

Players climb inside the inflatable, tube-like balls, which are roughly 4-by-4 feet. They’re held up with shoulder straps. Players inside hold on to small handles at about chest-level. Teams have four people.

Most teams last week played without a goaltender. Late hits or blocks from the back are prohibited, but beyond that, it’s full-contact. Beyond that, it’s a free-for-all.

Thursday was the second time the school has put on the game.

Kent: Police seize cocaine, heroin, cash Police in Kent say they have seized nearly 14 pounds of cocaine, more than 3 ½ pounds of heroin and more than $400,000 in cash at one home where they served a search warrant. They also arrested two people. Cmdr.

Jarod Kasner said Wednesday that 17 pounds of illicit drugs were seized in all, with an estimated combined street value of nearly $650,000.

Sunnyside: 2,200 gallons of oil spilled BRIAN MYRICK / THE DAILY RECORD

Players prepare to enter the fray during a bubble ball soccer match at Central Washington University’s Student Union and Recreation Center in Ellensburg on Feb. 26.

The first was during fall quarter.

When players connect, the sound fills the basketball courts with a loud, hollow “smack,” closely followed by cheers from the crowd.

Stinglen said rec center staff are always looking for the next thing, and discovered the game

— being played in Europe — around the start of the school year.

They looked around for where to buy the equipment, and went with Knockerball. Central, he said, is one of the first colleges in the state to get on board.

The game has proven popular

over the first two outings.

“The first time we did it, we actually had fans all around the track, all up and down the sideline,” he said.

The Thursday tournament saw fewer fans than during the See SOCCER, Page B2

Legal pot may put drug dog out of work

By Claire Withycombe The Bulletin

BEND, Ore. — Legal marijuana may force a dog named Zoey into early retirement come July.

Zoey, a Belgian Malinois who is trained to detect marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin, has recovered more than 40 pounds of drugs in her two years as a drug detection K-9 for the Bend Police Department, according to Bend Police Lt. Nick Parker.

But Zoey may be out of a job soon. When possessing limited amounts of marijuana becomes legal in Oregon on July 1, dogs trained to alert on its scent may become a liability rather than an asset.

That’s largely because the

Bertha, the world’s largest tunnel boring machine, is in position to be torn apart so it can be repaired. State transportation officials said the broken machine reached a stopping point inside the rescue pit late Tuesday, clearing the way for workers to start the disassembly process. The tunnel is being built to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, damaged in a 2001 earthquake. The machine started digging in the summer of 2013, but broke down in December. 2013. Bertha moved forward 57 feet since Feb. 17 in its effort to reach the pit. Along the way, the machine built nine concrete tunnel rings. Now that Bertha is in place, workers will disconnect hoses and cables, remove motors and prepare to lift four pieces weighing 2,000 tons to the surface for repairs.

reaction of a drug dog trained to detect marijuana won’t constitute a basis for searching the property or person in question.

The dog’s reaction no longer can indicate an illegal substance may be present, Parker said.

For example, if during a traffic stop Zoey picked up on another drug that will continue to be illegal — such as methamphetamine — that reaction isn’t sufficient probable cause to conduct a search because she also alerts to a legal substance.

“That negates our ability to use that evidence to further conduct searches,” Parker said. It also negates court testimony: A K-9 handler must be able to say under oath that the dog detected an illegal substance, Parker said.

For its part, Redmond Police doesn’t yet have a contingency

plan for Ike, its drug dog, according to Redmond Police Chief Dave Tarbet. “Statewide, a lot of agencies are looking to replace their dogs or retire them,” Tarbet said. “We haven’t got that far as what we’re going to do with Ike.” Meanwhile, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has been set to retire its drug dog this year, according to Deschutes County Sheriff’s Capt. Erik Utter.

“The timing of this actually worked in our favor,” Utter said.

“The current drug dog that we have in service is actually scheduled to retire this year, and so we had already anticipated replacing him.”

State environmental officials now say up to 2,200 gallons of used motor oil spilled into irrigation ditches and the Yakima River in south-central Washington. Officials initially reported as much as 1,500 gallons of oil leaked from an above-ground storage tank Sunday. But Ecology Department spokeswoman Lisa Copeland said officials determined the tank on a former feed lot near Sunnyside could hold as much as 2,200 gallons.

About 50 ducks, geese and other waterfowl have been reported covered in oil. And Wednesday, a subcontractor was on the scene collecting the birds. Ecology officials said a flight over the area Tuesday confirmed the leak is contained.

Cleanup crews are using absorbent pads, protective booms and vacuum pumps to clean up the oil. The work could take weeks.

Kennewick: New 911 center plan advances

MEG ROUSSOS / THE BULLETIN

K-9 Deputy Stacy Crawford holds Narc, the Deschutes County drug dog that is retiring after 12 years, inside the sheriff’s office in Bend, Oregon.

The Kennewick City Council voted Tuesday night to authorize a regional 911 dispatch center for the Tri-Cities.

KVEW-TV reported that the Kennewick council was the final one needed to consolidate the Benton County and Franklin County dispatch centers into one, to be called MATRICS. Tri-Cities police could be working off the same radio frequency as soon as January.

Near the end, cancer patient, partner marry Soccer

By Melissa Binder

Legend’s “All of Me” on an MP3 player.

Rebecca Wetherell walked in on her father’s arm, her blue eyes wide and wet. Auburn curls cascaded over her right shoulder and silver heels peeked out beneath her ankle-length lace dress.

“I love you, I love you, I love you,” she mouthed to Peil. He mouthed back, but was unable even to smile.

Peil has Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone and soft tissue cancer that primarily affects children. If the

Gresham man leaves the hospital at all, they say, it will probably be under hospice care.

As Peil’s father read 1 Corinthians 13 — “Love is patient, love is kind” — Wetherell stroked her groom’s shoulder. Staying awake this long was hard for him.

A last-minute hospital wedding isn’t what the couple of six years planned. They’d hoped to say their vows on Mount Hood, where they’d gotten to know each other on the slopes.

More importantly, they’d hoped to make a life together, a dream that’s been disappearing since Peil’s diagnosis in September. His condition has deteriorated in recent weeks, prompting the couple to wed Monday afternoon in the company of only a few friends and family members.

Peil’s father read the vows, and the bride and groom responded, “I do.”

Repeating the promises was too strenuous for Peil.

In a moment of unintended levity, Wetherell

had to adjust the bed railing after a failed attempt to kiss her new husband.

“We’re married,” she whispered to him.

“Finally,” he whispered back.

Steve Peil raised a glass of sparkling cider. “May you live long together and enjoy each other’s company,” the father of the groom said. Family and friends sniffled and raised their glasses. The groom sipped orange Gatorade from a champagne flute.

With the bride guiding Peil’s swollen hands, the couple cut a small slice of cake, and Peil ate his first bite of solid food in more than a week. The family cheered and blew bubbles over the newlyweds.

Attendees were quickly shooed into the hallway, plates of cake in hand, so nurses could attend to Peil.

“He’s already been my husband in my heart and soul,” Wetherell said, trying to relax in a break room with friends and family. “We didn’t want to miss an opportunity to make that official.”

The new bride sipped wine, dabbed tears and laughed about not remembering the day she met Peil.

Down the hall, behind a door closed to the revelry, her husband slept.

great job, but if you do an extended search that is a little tough on him.” Typically, drug dogs serve for about 10 years, Utter said.

Parker, who said Bend police are “early on” in the process of determining the best course of action, said the department may try to sell Zoey to a department in a state where marijuana

will still be illegal. But it remains to be determined how the right dog for the job will be paid for.

Zoey was purchased in October 2012 for $6,500 with help from private donations, according to Parker. About $3,000 of that fundraising money is still available to purchase a new dog, Parker said.

The total cost of replacing the pup could range from $6,500 to $10,000.

“That’s just the cost of the dog,” Parker said. He noted each police dog requires about $2,500 annually to pay for food, health insurance, vaccinations and other supplies.

It’s just one way legal

marijuana will cause law enforcement to make some adjustments. A greater number of officers and deputies on patrol must be trained in drug recognition to recognize the signs of intoxication under the influence of marijuana, Bend Police Chief Jim Porter said in an interview in October.

The Oregonian

PORTLAND, Ore. — Kim Peil leaned over her son’s hospital bed and pinned a yellow rose to the left pocket of his black button-down shirt.

“You’re golden, my boy.

Golden,” she said, leaning her forehead against his. The 36-year-old in the bed was the last of her four children to get married, and she glowed Monday evening like any proud parent.

Two Providence Portland Medical Center nurses, wearing disposable smocks the same yellow as their patient’s rose, nestled an oxygen tank in the bed and slowly wheeled Bryan Peil to his wedding.

In a room decked with white ribbons and a small pink cake, the nurses tucked cords under Peil’s blanket and draped a sheet over his drip stand to hide it. Red and white cloth rose petals were scattered near the doorway, and a silver “CONGRATULATIONS” sign hung above the cake and a few balloons.

About a dozen friends and family members scurried about the room preparing various cameras. When it was time, someone started John

fall; Stinglen said a lot of students were likely at the David Garibaldi live painting event that night. Still, there seemed to be more teams.

“It’ll go viral, I know that,” he said.

Thursday’s tournament was Isbey’s first.

At one point, she was hit so hard the ball rolled on its top, leaving her legs kicking in the air.

“I’m really small, so I kind of get knocked out, but I feel like since I’m so small I can shrink into the ball,” she said.

It was junior Wayne Hancock’s first encounter, too.

“It was awesome,” he said. “You can’t breathe in the bubbles, but other than that, it’s really cool.”

The balls are hot, he said.

Knockerball’s website says they’re built with tough PVC plastic. Central’s rules allow substitutions during any play stoppage, and there’s a break between games to clean the tubes out.

Hancock’s friend’s team won in the tournament last quarter and turned him on to trying, he said.

“I saw a couple YouTube videos of it, and it was like, ‘Oh, that’s something I want to do,’ ” he said.

A good hit rattles the player a bit, he said, but it’s not too bad.

At the first tournament there was only one major scare, Stingley said.

A very small woman collided with a much larger tubed man and wasn’t getting on her feet.

Referees and organizers scrambled to help her, Stingley said.

“She was just laughing so hard she couldn’t get back up.”

★★★★★★★★★★★★ ASSISTANCE LEAGUEŽ OF EVERETT ESTATE SALE

Happy Birthday: Clutter will hold you back. Organization, preparation and a strategic plan will be the only route to getting ahead. Go over past regrets and make amends, or at least set the record straight with anyone whom you feel can influence your future. Your numbers are 5, 9, 19, 23, 32, 34, 41.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Check facts before you make any changes that can affect your income. Impulsive action will lead to worry and regret. You will do much better taking your time and sizing up possible scenarios before making a move. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Secret dealings will have a negative influence on the outcome of a situation at work. Stick to a budget and don’t feel guilty if you can’t or don’t want to contribute. Put your needs first and keep moving. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t believe everything you hear or let an emotional plea lead you into an unforgiving situation. Focus on stabilizing important relationships and making your home a place of comfort, convenience and affordability.

Romance is in the stars. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take an innovative approach to whatever you face.

Avoid anyone trying to start an argument, and try not to make any last-minute changes that will affect your plans. ���� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can learn from the best. A business trip or educational excursion will lead to bigger and better opportunities. Keep your money and possessions in a safe place to avoid loss.

Someone will use emotional manipulation to take advantage of you. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t allow anyone to coerce you into a risky deal. A battle over money or possessions must be handled in a very secretive and unusual manner if you want to avoid loss. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Share your private affairs with a select group of people you know you can trust. Mingle with people who share your interests. A relationship will flourish if you discuss your intentions. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep what’s said in perspective. Overreacting will lead to bigger problems. Put greater emphasis on what you can do to improve your community. ���� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concentrate on home improvements and building stronger ties with the people you care about the most. A property or investment deal will help ease your stress and stabilize your future. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take baby steps. Someone will mislead you intentionally if you show signs of gullibility. Stick close to home and protect what means the most to you. ����� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go after your professional goals. Make an effort to do the things you enjoy doing most. A chance to use your skills in a trendy new way will also generate extra cash. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional matters will escalate. Question a partnership if the contributions being made aren’t equal. Pick up information and skills that will help you protect your interests. ��� Universal Uclick

M’s Walker starts bid for rotation spot 22-year-old right-hander pitches two scoreless innings in his spring debut; expected to battle Elias for final rotation slot.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — The time is right, Taijuan Walker believes, to validate his long-held status as the Seattle Mariners’ top pitching prospect. And Wednesday served

as a strong opening statement.

Walker delivered two strong innings against San Diego’s revamped lineup when the Mariners opened their 32-game Cactus League schedule with a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in 10 innings at Peoria

Stadium.

“My confidence, right now, is pretty high,” he said. “I think that’s going to help this spring.”

For one thing, Walker is healthy this spring as he battles lefty Roenis Elias for the final spot in the rotaTaijuan Walker tion. (Elias opens

his campaign Thursday when the Mariners again play the Padres.)

And just by being healthy, Walker is already ahead of last year, when he battled shoulder soreness throughout the spring that kept him from pitching in any Cactus League games.

“I wasn’t even playing catch,” he said. “To be able to start a game this spring, and actually have a spring training, feels

good.”

Walker’s shoulder soreness lingered into the season’s opening months and forced him to open the season on the disabled list.

But it wasn’t just the shoulder.

There were also concerns within the organization that Walker, still just 22, needed to mature into a big-league player.

Sounders’ back line will have new look EPL veteran Tyrone Mears will replace departed DeAndre Yedlin at right fullback, and Brad Evans moves to center.

By John Boyle Herald Writer

On Tuesday, Pederson was named to the All-North Region first team, as was teammate Charlie Smith, a guard who averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

Compared to his 2012-13 squad, “this year’s team has a lot more balance and a lot more depth,” Gray said. “You can’t just focus on (stopping) two guys.

You have to focus on a lot more than that. ... And it seems like we have a different guy stepping up every night to be our leading scorer.

TUKWILA — If the Seattle Sounders’ last offseason was defined by a significant roster overhaul following a disappointing finish to the 2013 season, then these past few months have been notable for the relative lack of change.

DeAndre Yedlin, the homegrown star who burst onto the scene in last year’s World Cup, is the only regular starter from last year’s team who isn’t back, having moved on to the English Premier League with Tottenham.

So while the 2015 Sounders, who open their season Sunday against New England, will look a lot like last year’s team, things will look quite a bit different with their defense because of Yedlin’s departure, Tyrone Mears as well as a new strategy at center back.

In perhaps their most significant offseason addition, the Sounders signed 32-yearold Tyrone Mears, a veteran of the English Premier League, to replace Yedlin at right fullback.

And after using a few different options at center back last year alongside Chad Marshall, who was named the MLS defender of the year in his first season with Seattle, the Sounders appear to be ready to open the season with longtime midfielder Brad Evans playing yet another new position.

In other words, a team that is mostly all about stability still has some adjusting to do along its

Edmonds CC and Everett CC both have high hopes heading into NWAC tournament

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

Two years ago, the Edmonds Community College men’s basketball team took aim at a league title, only to fall short in the tournament championship game.

After placing sixth a year ago, the Tritons will try again this week with another formidable squad that finished 24-5 overall, 12-2 in the league’s North Region, and as the region’s top seed for the upcoming Northwest Athletic Conference tournament, Saturday through Tuesday at the Toyota Center in Kennewick.

Does this Edmonds CC team have a chance at a championship? Third-year head coach Kyle Gray said simply, “We think we do.”

The Tritons, he went on, “understand what we’re capable of. We also understand that we have to do everything we can to play our style and impose our will on the other team. But if can match up with other team and if things go our way, we can be there at the end.

“And I definitely think we have enough talent to be there, for sure,” he said.

The 2012-13 team was led by

forward Shaq McKissic, currently a senior at Arizona State, and guard Ricardo Maxwell, a junior at Western Washington. That pair finished the season among the NWAC leaders in scoring and other statistics.

This season’s team, by contrast, has just one player listed among the league’s top 20 in several statistics. Forward Zach Pederson, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Snohomish’s Glacier Peak High School, is averaging 17.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, with those numbers ranking 19th and fifth in the NWAC through the end of the regular season.

Oregon St., Arizona St. favorites in Pac-12 women’s tourney

By Tim Booth Washington’s Kelsey Plum leads the Huskies against Utah in the Pac-12 women’s tournament beginning Thursday at KeyArena in Seattle.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

Associated Press

SEATTLE — For the first time in the 14-year history of the Pac-12 Conference women’s basketball tournament, Stanford will not be the No. 1 seed.

That fact alone makes the 2015 version noteworthy.

At least for one year, Stanford isn’t the power of the Pac-12. The Cardinal are not even the No. 2 seed. Those top two positions belong to Oregon State — No. 8 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 — and No. 9 Arizona State, with both trying to strengthen their NCAA tournament position with a good showing in the conference tourney.

“I think what the conference has prepared all of us for is a deep run in the NCAA Tournament,” said California

The conference tournament opens Thursday with Washington State facing Oregon, UCLA taking on Arizona, Southern Cal against Colorado, and Washington facing Utah. The tourney will likely determine just how many Pac12 schools will end up hosting games for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The top four seeds in each region will have the opportunity to host firstand second-round games on campus.

Oregon State and Arizona State appear to be solid bets to get top four seeds no matter how they fare in the tournament. Stanford and California are both in position to potentially host. Even Washington could find itself with a topfour seed if the hometown Huskies can put together a deep run.

he handful of trout lakes in the north Columbia Basin which open on March 1 generally draw a pretty good crowd, but anglers there are often hit with wind and cold temperatures, making for a less than pleasant day of fishing.

Sunday was a different beast, according to state Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Chad Jackson in Ephrata.

“Anglers found fantastic fishing conditions,” he said.

“Although a little chilly in the morning (mid- to high 20s), daytime temperatures eventually reached 50 degrees, with bright, sunny skies and virtually no wind for most of the day.”

Angler participation, Jackson said, was good — probably the highest in several years.

Fishing success, however, was a little spotty and seemingly depended on whether or not the fisherman happened to hit “the bite.”

Upper Caliche Lake had the highest catch rate on the opener, averaging 3.9 trout per angler.

Size of the rainbow was a little less than expected, at about 10 inches. Jackson said that the trout remaining in the lake will grow to about 12 inches in a couple of months, making Upper Caliche a good bet for a spring fishery.

Martha, Quincy and Burke lakes, on the Quincy Wildlife Area, fished a little slower on the opener, putting out two trout per angler. But word of mouth on those lakes was that fishermen who got there early, between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m., hit the bite, limited, and left, missing the creel check crew. Trout size was excellent in all three lakes, ranging in average size from 12 to 131⁄2 inches. Carryover rates in both Quincy and Burke were high, with 15- to 18-inch trout caught routinely through the day.

The “quality” lakes Lenice and Nunnally, on lower Crab Creek and under selective fishing rules, produced very well on the opener. Jackson said the number of trout hooked and

PICK OF THE WEEK | Hot Plugs Blackmouth Derby

Outdoor calendar

The 29th Bill Hayes Hot Plugs Blackmouth Derby takes place Saturday in Marine Areas 8-1 and 8-2. The longtime local event offers cash prizes. First place is worth 50 percent of the total entry fees; second, 20 percent; third, 15 percent and fourth, 10 percent. All prizes will be awarded Saturday.

Last year’s winner, Zac Mackey, took home $2,100 for a chinook weighing 12 pounds, 11 ounces.

There also will be a ticket-holder drawing for two $100 cash prizes.

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

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

released on Lake Lenice ranged from 20 to 50 fish, and the size was also excellent, ranging from 12 to 18-plus inches. The bulk of the trout measured 15 to 16 inches, Jackson said, and were very robust.

Some 40 boats were counted on Lenice, and 20 on Nunnally, with most fishermen using chironomids or leech patterns.

The mild winter has also prompted better than usual trout action on the seep lakes below Potholes Reservoir, most of which are open year-around and at this point free of ice. All the lakes in that area are open to fishing except those on the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, which come on line April 1, and Warden/South Warden, which open the last Saturday in April.

MarDon Resort owner Mike Meseberg, on Potholes Reservoir, said the best technique for bank fishermen in the seep lakes is to use Power Bait, Pautzke’s salmon eggs, or just a big nightcrawler. They can be used alone, or in various combinations, Meseberg said.

Blythe Lake has good access, has had very little fishing pressure, and is producing rainbow to 20 inches. Both upper and lower Goose lakes offer boat fishing for trout, bass, crappie and walleye, while the lower lake has good bank fishing by the boat launch and a healthy population of channel catfish.

Local blackmouth Winter blackmouth have been a little scarce in marine areas 8-1 and -2, but that’s not to say fishermen working the Hot Plugs derby this Saturday have little chance of scoring. All Star Charters owner Gary Krein in Everett said a few chinook in the 8- to 9-pound range have been caught recently off south Hat Island, and that both Onomac Point on the Camano side and Ole’s hole, directly across Saratoga Passage on the Whidbey side, are known derby producers.

Sounders From Page C1

back line that will likely feature two new starters. When Sounders coach Sigi Schmid was asked about what he hopes to get done in the team’s final week of preparation, he said, “just making sure we’re where we want to be defensively in terms of covering and closing gaps. In preseason there have been a couple of times where we’ve taken soft goals that we didn’t need to take.”

The good news for the Sounders is that they aren’t filling two spots with rookies or random free agents with suspect resumes.

Evans, one of Seattle’s veteran leaders and a member of the team going back to its inaugural season in 2009, has long been the team’s most versatile player, playing all over the midfield and at times at right back, and even briefly at center back in a pinch. He played primarily as a right back during recent stints with the U.S. national team, and also played a bit of center back going way back to his time on the U.S. under-20 national team, which was coached by Schmid.

Mears, meanwhile, got his start with Manchester City and has played in the Premier League with West Ham United, Derby County, Burnley, and most recently Bolton Wanderers. He also spent time with Marseille in France’s Ligue 1.

“Obviously Ty knows what he’s doing,” goalkeeper Stefan Frei said. “He has been playing in the back for a while. Brad’s been all over the shop, but he’s a really good professional. ... He has really been adapting, trying to figure out the differences between defending in midfield and defending in the back four. He has been doing really good, and I think as a defensive unit we’ve been getting better throughout the preseason, and I think we’re there.

Frei went on to say having a player of Mears’ experience is “great,” for a defense still trying to figure things out, “It’s also good for the young guys, because it gives them a chance to learn from him. He’s been with some big clubs and has tons of

Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said Maple Grove and Rocky Point are both worth a shot and that, while it’s been slow recently, Elger Bay will put out fish.

John recommends a blue or green plug-cut herring, or squid in apple core, double glow green, chartreuse, or white, fished right on the bottom.

Lower Skagit action John said the Skagit opened Sunday from its mouth up to the Memorial Highway bridge in downtown Mount Vernon, and that the lower river is a favorite this time of year for dollies and cutthroat. Try the Conway area, John said, drifting and casting a Mepps or Vibrax spinner, or Rooster Tail, to shoreline structure, back eddies and the like.

John said he prefers half-ounce spoons such as the Steelie, and that fly fishing is also productive at times.

More smelt?

If you didn’t get your fill of smelt dipping during the two-day season on the Cowlitz recently, you get another chance — assuming you want to drive that far.

Oregon’s Sandy River will open March 7 and 15 under the same regulations that were in effect on the Washington side. No license is required, the limit is 10 pounds, about a quarter of a 5-gallon bucket, and dipping will be allowed from 6 a.m. to noon both days.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver said reports indicate smelt are in the river.

“The Sandy tends to have better visibility than the Cowlitz,” he said, “and that means the smelt will probably be a little spookier.”

The Sandy is a tributary of the Columbia at Troutdale, Oregon, across the river from Camas, Washington.

Hymer said much of the smelt dipping on the river takes place around the Interstate 84 bridge, just upriver from Portland.

Multiple season permits Deer and elk hunters have until March 31 to enter the drawing for a 2015 multiple-season permit, which can greatly increase the chance of success in the field. In mid-April, WDFW will draw names for 8,500 multiple-season deer permits and 1,000 multiple-season elk permits.

Winners of the drawing will be eligible to purchase a special tag

experience, so for some younger guys to just see what he brings to the table and learn from him, and also, they’re not going to get tossed in the cold water like that.”

And while Mears may not have quite the speed of Yedlin — very few players in the world do — he too is an attack-minded right fullback who will get involved in Seattle’s offense.

“I’ve always been a really attacking fullback, but my last manager at Bolton tried to turn me into a more of a defensive fullback to fit into his system,” he said. “That was difficult, but I guess I learned a lot more defensive skills. But my game’s all about getting up and down, so hopefully I can get back to doing that here.”

In an odd twist, Mears might not be opening the season in the Sounders’ starting lineup if not for what he saw while attending one of their worst losses of the 2014 season. After his contract ran out with Bolton, Mears was vacationing in Los Angeles last summer when the Sounders extended an invitation to come train with them. He made a good impression on the practice field, and the organization, as well as their fans’ dedication even in a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles, got his attention.

“I was on holiday in LA. I got a call to come here, just to keep fit really, it wasn’t me really looking to come and play here,” he said. “It opened my eyes. Maybe if I went to a different team, maybe I wouldn’t have been interested in coming, but because I came to a game, I saw the support, I saw how this club was set up, and I was really, really impressed with it. I don’t think it was MLS, it was more Seattle that opened my eyes.”

Now Mears, Evans and a new-look back four will try to do their part on a team that otherwise enters the 2015 season largely unchanged.

“It’s going to take time,” Mears said. “We can’t get perfect in preseason, not even the guys who have already been here playing next to each other. It doesn’t come perfectly that quickly; it takes games, but the most important thing is that we are improving, and as long as we finish the season strong to go into the playoffs, that’s the main thing.”

allowing them to participate in archery, muzzleloader and modern firearm general hunting seasons for deer or elk in 2015. Winners who purchase the multiple-season elk tag

by Aug. 31 can participate in general elk hunting seasons in both eastern and western Washington.

Winners also may choose any weapon type when applying for a special permit to hunt deer or elk.

“This is a great opportunity for hunters to extend their hunting season this fall,” said Mick Cope, game manager for WDFW. “Rather than having to choose just one hunting method over another, the multiple season permit allows more flexibility.”

Cope noted the tags can be used only during general seasons and in game management units that are open during a specific weapon type general season. For example, winners may not hunt during the muzzleloader general season in an area that is not open for the muzzleloader general season.

Hunters may apply only once for each species and are limited to taking one deer or elk.

Hunters may purchase a multipleseason permit application at an authorized license dealer, or by calling 866-246-9453. Permit application is $7.10 for residents and $110.50 for nonresidents.

Hunting licenses and multipleseason tags can be purchased from local license dealers, on the internet (http://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov) or by calling the number above. Including transaction fees, multiple-season deer tags cost $139.10, in addition to the cost of an annual hunting license, while elk tags go for $182.

MLS, players agree in principle to 5-year labor contract

By Ronald Blum Associated Press

Major League Soccer and its players’ union agreed in principle to a five-year labor contract, averting a possible strike ahead of Friday’s season opener.

The deal, the culmination of talks that began last weekend in Washington, D.C., was announced Wednesday night and would replace the contract that expired Jan. 31.

Under the agreement, players 28 and older could become free agents if they have eight seasons of MLS service and their contracts have expired, a person familiar with the details said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details had not yet been announced.

The minimum salary would rise to $60,000, the person said. The minimum generally was $48,500 last year, but the prior deal contained a provision in which some players could be paid as low as $36,500.

“This agreement will provide a platform for our players, ownership and management to work together to help build Major League Soccer into one of the great soccer leagues in the world,” MLS commissioner Don Garber said in a statement.

MLS’s 20th season begins this weekend, with the defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy hosting Chicago in the opener.

“We are pleased to finally turn our fans attention back to our players and the competition on the field as we get started on the 2015 season,” Bob Foose, executive director of the MLS Players Union, said in a statement.

Orlando and former FIFA Player of the Year Kaka host New York City and former Spanish World Cup champion David Villa on Sunday in the debut of the expansion teams that raise the league’s total to 20 teams.

The league and the U.S. Soccer Federation are in the first year of eight-year broadcast agreements with ESPN, Fox and Univision Deportes that they hope will increase MLS’s exposure and ratings.

The facts

Tyler Marlette opened the 10th inning with a single and scored the winning run from first when former Everett AquaSox Pat Kivlehan lined a one-out single that got past San Diego right fielder Rymer Liriano.

Play of the game Mariners first baseman Ji-Man Choi suffered a broken right fibula on what should have been a routine play to end the game in the ninth inning. Shortstop Tyler Smith threw high to first after fielding Taylor Lindsey’s grounder. The throw forced Choi to jump for the ball as Rico Noel scored the tying run from third. Choi landed awkwardly and remained on the ground in obvious pain. He was helped to a cart and transported to the clubhouse.

Plus Taijuan Walker, bidding for the No. 5 spot in the rotation, pitched two strong innings. ... D.J. Peterson opened the game as the designated hitter and started the scoring with a two-out homer in the first inning. ... Backup catcher Mike Dowd had two RBI singles. ... First baseman Jesus Montero had singles in his two at-bats.

Minus Montero and catcher John Hicks miscommunicated on Jedd Gyorko’s foul pop in the fifth inning. The ball fell untouched. ... Left fielder Jordy Lara and Peterson, who entered the game at third after Choi’s injury, committed errors on dropped pops that helped the Padres load the bases in the 10th inning.

Quotable “We’ll pace them.” — Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon on the decision not to play many of the team’s projected regulars in the spring opener.

PEORIA, Ariz. — Seattle Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez threw his first spring session of live batting practice on Wednesday and cited his goal as, “Fastball command. And I wanted to throw my breaking balls to see if they still worked.”

And ...?

“It looked pretty good,” he said.

There weren’t any good swings — and just scant contact — from the collection of minor-league players assigned to face the King on Field 6 about two hours prior to the Cactus League opener against San Diego.

The Mariners opened their spring schedule by presenting a lineup loaded with players not expected to make the big-league club. That prompted a question from Hernandez to the regulars.

“I just asked them, ‘Why are you guys not in the lineup today?’” he said. “They said, ‘Because you’re not pitching.’”

Ackley reports his wife, Justine, and infant son, Parson, arrived Tuesday night in Peoria. Ackley said, “Both are healthy and doing fine.”

The couple was en route to camp from their home in Michigan when Justine went into labor on Feb. 19 near Oklahoma City. Parson Bennett Ackley, the couple’s first child, arrived six weeks premature.

While healthy, the infant required time on a respirator and in an incubator. Ackley remained in Oklahoma City until the situation stabilized before continuing to camp.

Platoon plans Don’t look for Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon to implement his projected platoons in left field and right field for spring games — i.e., Dustin Ackley (for example) will seeing playing time against left-handed pitchers.

“It’s not going to be a factor for me this spring,” McClendon said. “I want them to see both because there may be times when they’re forced to see them in action in games.

“I won’t limit them, exclusively, to just left-handed or right-handed.”

The Mariners’ game on March 12 against Oakland at HoHoKam Park in Mesa is shifting to a noon start to accommodate a request by Major League Baseball to aid HBO in taping a special on the fight against cancer.

MLB and HBO are collaborating on the project, which will also involve live tapings at four other Cactus League ballparks on the same date.

The Mariners/A’s game had been scheduled to start at 1:05 p.m.

Mets’ Wright apologizes to ‘remorseful’ Syndergaard

By Marc Carig Newsday

If you see something, say something.

At least that was the New York Mets’ David Wright’s thinking on Tuesday, when he and Bobby Parnell busted prized prospect Noah Syndergaard for taking a lunch break during an intrasquad game.

The standoff ended with Syndergaard scurrying back to the dugout after Parnell confiscated his lunch plate and dumped it in a nearby trash can, as first reported by Newsday.

On Wednesday morning, Wright said he regretted only that the incident played out in front of media members. The Mets captain even apologized to Syndergaard later on for not being more “aware of my surroundings.” Wright, however, refused to back down from the content of the message he wanted to send.

“If you see something that could help a player out, you say it,” Wright said Wednesday morning. “It’s the

Walker From Page C1

Those issues, as much as anything, are why he spent much of July and August at Triple-A Tacoma.

“The message has been delivered,” manager Lloyd McClendon said earlier this spring. “Whether he’s buying into it, I guess we’ll see. Listen, it’s not easy.

“It’s a hard thing for a young man to adapt to the rigors of the daily schedule here, the competition and showing up every fifth day. I think he’s starting to get it.

We’ll see.”

Maybe we’re already seeing.

Walker showed signs of turning a corner last September after returning from Tacoma for the Mariners’ stretch run. He

way that we kind of get on each other that maybe some people don’t get or understand. I’ve got three younger brothers and that’s the way that I deal with them. And that’s what it’s like in here: You’ve got some older brothers and you’ve got some younger brothers.”

Parnell echoed Wright’s thoughts on the timing and location of the incident.

“Yeah, we try to keep those things behind closed doors, but the media was there and saw it,” Parnell said. “But it wasn’t about embarrassing anyone. Again, it goes back to creating that culture on and off the field.”

Syndergaard said he and Wright have spoken twice after the incident to “clear things up a little bit.” Neither expects the issue to linger.

“It was just really a mistake on my part,” Syndergaard said. “It was kind of straight up ignorance on my part, just thinking I could go in there during a game and grab a quick bite to eat. But it was just a learning experience for me.

I should’ve been on the bench.”

Syndergaard wasn’t scheduled to pitch during Tuesday’s intrasquad game. And it’s common for players to have individual schedules. However, Wright insisted that all young players must seize every opportunity to learn. In this case, that meant sitting in the dugout with everybody else.

“When there’s something going on where hitting coach Kevin Long’s talking to Michael Cuddyer out in the dugout about something, young hitters should listen to that,” Wright said. “When Zack Wheeler’s out there throwing, he’s had some success in the big leagues, and pitching coach Dan Warthen is talking to him between innings, that’s a good opportunity for a young pitcher to kind of sit in and learn something from them.”

After he was pulled from Tuesday’s scrimmage, Wright stumbled upon the 22-year-old Syndergaard sitting at a clubhouse table with a plate of food.

“There was no chastising going

on,” Wright said. “I was giving a guy a hard time . there was nothing malicious.”

The incident might have gone unnoticed if not for the unusual circumstances of spring training.

Media access to the clubhouse during games is barred in the regular season. But in the spring, it’s common for reporters to be let in during a game to conduct interviews with players coming out of the game.

It was during an interview with Wheeler that Wright happened upon Syndergaard, the fireballing pitching prospect who has admitted he sulked for part of last summer when he didn’t get an expected call-up to the big league.

“Obviously, I chose to do it,” Wright said. “So it’s not the media’s fault. I didn’t notice that the media was within earshot. So that’s what I apologized to Noah for, because he has to answer questions, I have to answer questions, Terry Collins has to answer questions, and that’s not the way I like to handle things.”

limited opponents to five runs in 23 innings over five appearances and two starts.

That followed a subtle change in his delivery from the stretch — a more direct approach to the plate that Walker instituted last August after talking with Tacoma pitching coach Jaime Navarro and Detroit ace David Price.

“I just felt like it kept everything simple,” Walker said. “Not very much movement. From the stretch, it was just a quick leg kick and let it go.

“It helps that I’m just going to the plate. I’m not trying to do a bunch of stuff. You have some guys who can do it — like Felix (Hernandez), who has a turn and everything. But for me, it’s better to just keep it simple.”

Walker also displayed an improved feel for his changeup.

It was that pitch that he used

Wednesday to strike out Matt Kemp in the first inning with one out and a runner at third base.

“I’m throwing it to lefties and righties,” Walker said. “Just to have it, and know that I can throw it at any time in any count, for a strike ... that helps big time. It helps to keep them off my fastball, too.”

Walker admitted he was “amped up” at start of Wednesday’s game — and it soon got him into trouble. He jumped ahead 1-2 on the game’s first hitter, Cameron Maybin, before fading to a full count.

Maybin then lined a single to left and, when Walker ignored him, stole second without a throw.

“I was going to hold (the ball on the steal),” Walker said, “but I was throwing an off-speed pitch.

I threw a changeup that pitch ... It was one of those things.”

Maybin went to third on Yonder Alonso’s grounder to second, but Walker escaped unharmed by striking out Kemp and retiring Justin Upton on a routine fly to right.

“Two power guys,” Walker said, “so I went right after them. Especially with Kemp. We went fastball inside, three or four times, and then I threw a changeup (away).”

Walker then breezed through an 11-pitch second inning: grounder to short, strikeout and a fly to left. The final count showed 32 pitches, including 19 for strikes.

“I thought he threw the ball extremely well,” McClendon said.

“I thought his changeup was good. I thought his slider is coming along just fine. His command of the fastball was good. He did a nice job.”

A good start, anyway.

Strained calf sidelines Washington’s Kemp

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — It’s been six weeks since the Washington Huskies traveled to Boulder, Colorado, with hope for a promising season still intact.

It was Jan. 22, and the Huskies beat the Colorado Buffaloes that day, 52-50, thanks to Andrew Andrews’ last-second midrange jumper. The victory, UW’s third in a row, improved the Huskies’ overall record to 14-4, and 3-3 in Pac-12 play.

They were seemingly adjusting well to the loss of starting forward Jernard Jarreau, out at the time while recovering from a meniscus surgery that kept him out five weeks. And it appeared as if the problems that induced an 0-3 start to league play were behind them.

Then they lost by 21 points at Utah. Then they kicked 7-foot center Robert Upshaw off the team.

Then they lost their next six games before finally winning again (at Washington State, in Jarreau’s return from injury), then played two games without senior forward Shawn Kemp Jr. (due to a concussion), one of those games without leading scorer Nigel WilliamsGoss (sprained ankle), and now they limp into the final weekend of Pac-12 play still needing to win another game to avoid a sub-.500 overall record.

So Thursday’s 6 p.m. game against Colorado at Hec Edmundson Pavilion (FOX Sports 1) might evoke memories of a time when it was still reasonable to believe the Huskies might play in the NCAA tournament. But neither team will look anything like it did when they met six weeks ago.

The Huskies (1513, 4-12 in Pac-12) will be down two starters from that game. One is Upshaw, obviously, and the other is Kemp, who was close to being able to return from the concussion that kept him out of losses last week at UCLA and USC ... until he strained his calf this week during an extra conditioning workout. Now he’s out for the Colorado game, and probably UW’s Saturday game against Utah, too.

“He’s the strongest player on our team,” said UW coach Lorenzo Romar, lamenting his team’s continuing misfortune. “Definitely the strongest post player. He’s the most experienced.

He’s our best low-post

scorer. There are a lot of things that he provides for us that it’s hard to duplicate without him being in there.”

The good news for UW is that Williams-Goss, who missed the Huskies’ 70-55 loss at last-place USC after spraining his ankle against UCLA, is expected to return against Colorado.

“It’s still a little sore, but at least I’ve been able to practice this week,” Williams-Goss said. “I expected it to be a little sore. I didn’t think it was going to be 100 percent.

But it’s definitely good enough to play.”

But it won’t be the same Buffaloes team the Huskies defeated in January. Colorado has since regained Josh Scott, a 6-foot-10 forward who missed eight games (including the loss to UW) due to back spasms. He averages 12.6 points per game, and has scored in double-figures in four of eight games since returning from injury.

Six-foot-seven guard Xavier Johnson, also a double-digit scorer, is another Buffaloes player who missed the first game against UW but will be available on Thursday.

“Scott’s an all-conference player. Xavier’s had an up-and-down year, but he’s definitely an allconference talent,” Romar said. “It makes it a little easier for (leading scorer) Askia Booker to roam around and do his thing when you get those guys back, so it definitely will be a different team.”

It’s not as if Colorado (13-15, 6-10) has experienced any kind of renaissance since those players returned from injury – the Buffaloes have lost six of their last eight games, five of them by 13 points or more.

But with Scott back in the post against a UW frontcourt featuring exactly two players taller than 6-foot-7 – Jarreau and seldom-used center Gilles Dierickx — the Huskies will be vulnerable inside. UCLA forward Tony Parker (20 points) and USC forward Nikola Jovanovic (16 points, 7 rebounds) each took advantage of Kemp’s absence last week, and it might be a chore for the Huskies to prevent Scott from doing the same.

“Hopefully, we learned from our mistakes in the UCLA game, the things that we need to do, which I won’t go into now,” Romar said. “But hopefully we learned from that, and we can make the necessary adjustments so we can compete a lot better than we did in that game.”

UCLA locks up No. 4 seed Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Bryce Alford scored 23 points, including five 3s, Tony Parker added 22 and UCLA defeated Southern California 85-74 Wednesday night to help the Bruins lock up the No. 4 seed in the Pac-12 tournament next week.

Source: Manning to take $4 million pay cut

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Hold that gold watch. Peyton Manning is taking one more shot at the silver trophy.

Weeks of speculation about the five-time MVP’s future ended Wednesday with word that he’s returning for an 18th season in the NFL and fourth in Denver.

A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Manning will take a $4 million pay cut, from $19 million to $15 million, but that he can make it all back through performance incentives. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement of the deal.

Manning, who is still scheduled to make $19 million in 2016 in the final season of the fiveyear contract he signed in 2012, will take his physical and sign his revised contract Thursday.

Manning mulled retirement after the Broncos’ playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts. But he determined he still had the health and hunger to keep playing at age 39, when he tries to become the oldest QB to win a Super Bowl.

Manning, who won a title with the Colts in 2006, met with general manager John Elway a few

weeks ago after taking some time to decompress from an arduous season and told him he wasn’t ready to retire.

Reminiscent of Brett Favre’s annual flirtations with retirement, however, this saga dragged on as the Broncos and Manning’s agent Tom Condon reworked the quarterback’s contract.

The $4 million savings won’t drastically change Denver’s free agency plans. It gives Elway about $20 million to work with, but much of that will go to his own restricted free agents and a large draft class.

After dealing with a nagging thigh injury that hampered his performance down the stretch, Manning worked out this offseason in New Orleans with physical trainer Mackie Shilstone, renowned for helping athletes extend the twilight of their careers.

On Feb. 12, Manning flew to Denver in team owner Pat Bowlen’s jet to meet with Elway, CEO Joe Ellis and new coach Gary Kubiak. He also huddled with offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, who replaced Adam Gase, Manning’s co-pilot in Denver’s offense who followed John Fox to Chicago.

Kubiak has designed mainly West Coast offenses throughout

his career that often require the quarterback to line up under center and roll out. Mobility has never been Manning’s calling card; he’s been most comfortable making quick throws out of the shotgun in recent years.

Yet, Kubiak said it’s “easy to build a playbook” for Manning and noted that Joe Flacco, whom he tutored in Baltimore, rolled out a mere two dozen times last season.

Manning is all in.

“Aside maybe from Tubby Raymond’s Delaware Blue Hen Wing-T offense, I feel pretty comfortable playing in any offense,” Manning said recently.

Elway said Kubiak’s offense reminds him of the system he ran during the final, Super Bowlwinning years of his career, when Kubiak was his offensive coordinator.

“Peyton can fit into this offense very easily,” Elway said.

“It’s very dependent on balance.

Peyton won’t have to throw the ball 50 or 55 times. That gets more helpful, the older you get.”

Manning has successfully adjusted before: the last two times he had a new head coach, he went 14-2 and 13-3.

Twelve hours after Manning delivered a shocker following Denver’s 24-13 loss to the Colts in the playoffs, saying he was

unsure about his football future, Elway beseeched him not to make a rash decision.

Elway used the same givehim-space approach when he lured Manning to Denver following the quarterback’s tearful release from Indianapolis in 2012. Manning had missed the entire 2011 season following neck fusion surgery, casting doubt on his future, so the Colts cut him to clear the way for No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck.

Manning has led the Broncos to the best record in the NFL in each of his three seasons in Denver. Yet, each time, they unraveled in the playoffs: a 35-point Super Bowl loss to Seattle and two stunning home flops following first-round byes.

Manning, who has thrown 131 of his NFL-best 530 touchdown passes in a Broncos uniform, has but one Super Bowl title, three fewer than Tom Brady, whom he’ll face for the 17th time in 2015.

While Brady readily professes his desire to play well into his 40s, Manning has always taken it one year at a time. In September, Manning said he liked Brady’s “When I suck, I’ll retire” quote.

Manning owns most of the significant QB records and is 2,148 yards shy of breaking Favre’s career yardage record of 71,838.

“Not to take anything away from that team two years ago,” he said, “but this team has a broader talent base. Just depth alone, that’s the biggest difference. But in terms of similarities, both teams were able to get it done.”

The Tritons will open the NWAC tournament at 2 p.m.

Saturday against Mount Hood CC. The tourney uses a double-elimination format, but teams must stay unbeaten to reach the championship game.

Edmonds CC will be joined at the NWAC tournament by fellow North Region rivals Bellevue College, Everett CC and Peninsula CC. Everett CC, under longtime coach Larry Walker, finished with 8-6 league and 17-12 overall records, but capped its regular season last weekend with an impressive 78-74 road win against Bellevue College, which was atop the region standings at the time.

“We’ve been in almost every game,” Walker said.

“We’ve had some tough losses, but we’ve also had some unbelievable wins down the stretch. And we pulled off a couple of miracle wins to get in the

tournament.”

Everett CC, which will open against Lane CC at 10 p.m.

Saturday, is led by the guard tandem of Derek Brown Jr., an All-Region first-team selection, who averages 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game; and Dominique McClendon, who averages 17.7 points and 7.4 rebounds.

Though the Trojans might seem a tourney long shot, at least based on their season mark, Walker believes his squad will be in the chase.

“If you look at all 16 teams in this tournament,” he said, “any one of the 16 could win it. And once we get over there, everybody is 0-0.”

Pac-12

Arizona State after the Sun Devils were picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll. And they’ve proven to be quite good in close games. The Sun Devils have eight wins this season decided by five points or less.

Stanford so far hasn’t been the powerhouse that reached the Final Four in six of seven years. But despite being in a “transitional year,” as VanDerveer called it, the Cardinal won at Oregon State last week, the Beavers’ only home loss of the season.

“It gives a big boost, just knowing that we can execute like that, we can follow a game plan like that,” Stanford sophomore Erica McCall said. “It shows us we’re prepared for the Pac-12 tournament. It might have taken us a while to figure out our identity, but I think we definitely figured it out, and we know where we’re going.”

From Page C1

Oregon State’s rise began a year ago when the Beavers made the conference tournament championship game and advanced to the second round of the NCAAs before losing to No. 1 seed South Carolina. The Beavers went 16-2 in conference play this season and ended Stanford’s 14-year run of winning at least a share of the conference regular season title.

“Oregon State is legit. They are for real. They have everything you need: perimeter game, post game, (offense), defense, rebounding,” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said.”

EVERETT HOME & GARDEN SHOW

Giving parents a lift Local construction contractor makes homes perfect for Mom and Dad

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Y

ou’ll never guess what’s behind Door No. 1 at this Lake Stevens home.

An elevator shaft.

What’s even more surprising is where it is: the living room.

It looks like an ordinary paneled door.

The molding matches that of the nearby window and patio doors.

If you open this door, watch that first step. The elevator is still a work in progress.

The elevator is part of Mari and Doug Cline’s renovations to make their home accessible for aging relatives.

The Clines bought the home new in 2013 after moving from Texas to Washington for Doug’s engineering job at Boeing. After his dad, Earl, had a stroke, they moved him into their home in a main floor room that was an office. But there were no bathing facilities on the floor, and the upstairs living quarters weren’t a feasible option.

The home’s unfinished daylight basement had available space. It also had high ceilings that took away that basement feel.

“I wanted a place where we could all coexist,” Mari Cline said. “Where I could have a home that I love, where he had his own space, where we had our own space.

We could flow together.”

The Clines hired Renaissance Builders in Arlington to renovate their home. Owner Chuck DeGraffenreid recently started a new branch, Renaissance Home Mobility, specializing in home modifications for aging issues as well as those injured in accidents, military veterans and children with disabilities.

“We’ve been building for over 35 years, and I’ve done a lot of these projects through the years and was seeing a greater need for it,” DeGraffenreid said. “There is a great market for it looking at my own family and friends. And myself. I enjoy working on and upgrading homes, but there is a greater sense of satisfaction in need as opposed to just want.”

His company will be among the vendors at the Everett Home & Garden Show, March 6, 7 and 8 at Xfinity Arena.

See SUPPORT, Page D3

If you go The Everett Home & Garden Show, is March 6, 7 and 8, Xfinity Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett.

Tickets: $6.75, adults; seniors $6.25. Free for 16 and younger. $2 off coupons on EverettHomeGardenShow.com or in the Herald.

While supplies last. z Dunn Lumber will have a free wine tasting every afternoon at its display booth from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. March 6; 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Don’t be afraid to file contractor complaints

By Debby Abe Special to the Herald

The last thing victims of a home remodeling scam might want to do is talk about it.

Perhaps they lost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars intended for a dream remodeling project. They might be too embarrassed to tell anyone or don’t know there’s an agency that takes

such reports.

Consumers can file reports with local police or sheriff departments. But if it has to do with a construction contractor or tradesperson, they should also file a complaint with the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.

It’s easy to report at www.lni.wa.gov/ fraud or call 888-811-5974. L&I staff can explain the options that might be available to resolve their issue with the

contractor. Depending on the situation, L&I might assign an inspector to the case. That could lead to civil infractions or criminal charges for the contractor.

Stepping forward might benefit not only the victim, but prevent other consumers from getting ripped off by the same person.

L&I outreach staff will be at the See SCAM, Page D3

ursery rhymes might not make sense to the 21stcentury child. What’s the tuffet that Little Miss Muffet sat on when the first copies of the rhyme appeared in England in 1553? A chair, a stool, a plant, a stone or maybe a small animal?

And what are the curds and whey she is eating?

The food is our familiar cottage cheese. Curds are the cheese, whey is the liquid. The tuffet is more difficult. Official definitions say a tuffet is like a footstool with

Because tuffets are so much like stools, decorators and casual collectors and those on Pinterest use either word to describe a small padded footstool with tiny feet. But there also is another tuffet — a rounded clump of grass that might make a comfortable seat for Miss Muffet. Children’s books often have drawings of Miss Muffet on a stool, not a tuffet.

GREAT PLANT PICK What: Nothing trumpets the arrival of spring like blooming daffodils.

Narcissus “Thalia,” or white orchid daffodil, positively glows in the early spring garden. Its multiheaded white flowers nod atop a sturdy, 12- to 14-inch stem in the awakening boarder. Planting “Thalia” bulbs in groups makes for a natural look in the landscape. Hostas and deciduous ornamental grasses are a good combination because they will cover/disguise the foliage of the narcissus as it dies back by early June. Faded flowers can be removed but do not cut the foliage back until it yellows in early June. New bulbs can be planted in the fall, large clumps can be divided and replanted once the

I’m 82 years old and have no children who would be interested in the doll.

I’d like to sell it to someone who’d take care of it and enjoy it. Can you give me an idea as to how to proceed?

A: Floradora dolls were made from 1901 to 1921.

Armand Marseille made the bisque heads. The doll bodies were usually made of kid, but composition, cloth, and imitation kid bodies were also made.

Armand Marseille also sold the bisque heads to other companies. The dolls were made in several sizes. A 141⁄2-inch Floradora doll with bisque

The price on the front advertises a Coke for 10 cents. What is its value as a Coca-Cola collectible?

A: Coca-Cola made many different shapes and styles of coolers and dispensers. Yours dates no earlier than the 1950s — the decade when the price of a Coke increased from a nickel to a dime at various times and places across the country. If you’re interested in selling, do some research online to check on similar dispensers. If yours is in great condition, it could be worth a few hundred dollars.

Conifers: 50 shades of green

I

couldn’t resist jumping on the “50 Shades” bandwagon. But it is true that even within the world of needle-leafed evergreens — what we nursery types call conifers — there is a wide variety of choice in foliar color from bright or dull green to bluish or chartreuse or to reddish and even variegated. Truth be known, there are a heck of a lot more than 50 shades.

While evergreens form the backbone of our native forests — hence our state’s nickname — their domesticated relatives also form the structure and bones of our landscapes.

Fastigiate varieties become our focal points, mounding ones act as fillers and spreaders assume the role of ground covers.

They are also the consummate low-maintenance plant, assuming one selects the proper variety. And because they come in so many shades of green they can provide enough variety to keep the landscape interesting.

There are easily more than 20 different genera of conifers and a gazillion species and cultivars available for planting in our yards. Some form symmetrical pyramids while others can be twisted and contorted or tall and narrow. They come in just about every form and color imaginable. These domesticated varieties are all mutants from

Tips to avoid headaches

Everett Home & Garden Show this weekend, providing tips on how to hire a construction contractor to avoid remodeling nightmares and how to file a complaint if the damage is already done.

Hiring a registered contractor is an important first step. The state requires contractors to register with L&I. The department confirms that they have a business license, liability insurance and bond, requirements that give homeowners some monetary recourse if something goes wrong.

Unregistered contractors often have no bond or

■ Verify your prospective contractor’s registration at www.ProtectMyHome.net or call 800-647-0982.

■ Get at least three written bids.

■ Check contractor references.

■ Pay only as work is completed.

It’s a risky combination that leaves homeowners financially vulnerable if workers are injured on their property or the contractor does shoddy work — or

takes a down payment and never shows up at all.

Take the time to do your homework before you hire a contractor. It could save you time and money later.

Renaissance transformed the Clines’ basement into a 640-square-foot suite with living room/mini-kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

The tricky part was getting there. An exterior door from a backyard patio was the only way in. Adding an interior access for a stair lift would have entailed major foundation changes and losing a coat closet.

“It would have been $15,000 for a stair lift and it was $23,000 for an elevator,” Mari Cline said.

She worried her fatherin-law’s mobility would decline to the extent he might not be able to access the chair on the stair lift. So they went with the elevator, which could accommodate a wheelchair, if necessary.

This home is in a manicured subdivision of Northwest Craftsman-style houses in coordinated colors and styles on small lots.

Mari Cline was mindful of her neighbors when she went elevator shopping.

“I didn’t want anything loud, clunky or bumpy. I didn’t want my neighbors to hear the elevator running,” she said.

From the outside, the elevator shaft blends with the deck.

“It flows naturally with our house,” she said.

“I wanted the bedding to be luxurious.”

The bed, under that fancy bedding?

“It’s a hospital bed,” she said.

The space will be used by visiting guests of all ages.

“My mother is coming April 1 and she’s planning to stay all summer,” Mari Cline said. “She uses a walker. My mom’s on a limited income so if something should happen she could come live here.”

The couple’s 19-year-old son goes to college in Texas, where their daughter is a thirdyear medical school student.

“If my daughter gets a residency in Washington she could live here,” she said.

The total cost of the remodel was about $66,000.

“It was the right decision,” she said. “We got everything we always wanted in a home and more.”

some native forest variety somewhere in the world that a dedicated nursery professional found, propagated and introduced to the gardening public.

One of the most respected wholesale growers of choice conifers is Iseli Nursery in Boring, Oregon. Over the years they have introduced hundreds of selections of conifers that are now gracing gardens all over the world.

(I like to think of them as the Baskin-Robbins of the conifer world.)

Whether you are looking for a major feature in your landscape, something to create a privacy screen or just a little accent to place in a rock garden or container, this is an excellent time of the year to shop. Many conifers still have their winter colors of plum and bronze instead of their summertime blue and green.

There are even a couple of pines that turn a bright yellow in the winter (Chief Joseph is the Holy Grail of pines).

spinach, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower to name just a few.

Small fruits and berries. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries are all itching to be planted this month. Grapes and kiwis, currants and gooseberries can also be planted now.

Always use some compost and organic starter fertilizer when you are planting new plants.

Fruit trees. Like I mentioned above, this is the best month to prune and spray your fruit trees with copper and oil. It is also a perfect time to plant a few new ones as well. Most trees these days are on dwarf or mini-dwarf root stocks that keep them 10 to 12 feet tall.

Buy them while they are still at bareroot sale prices.

Bulbs. Summer blooming bulbs are now in stock such as dahlias and gladiolas and lilies and should be purchased this month for the best selection even though I would recommend holding off until April to plant them.

Weeds. Don’t let those weeds get ahead of you and go to seed. My favorite weeding tool is the Hula-Hoe and the Cape Cod Weeder. They are both quick and efficient. Remove the weeds and get the ground covered immediately with a layer of compost and some Preen or equivalent weed preventer and you will be miles ahead of the weeding game.

Educational opportunities. We’ve got a great line up of classes this month as do most local garden centers. For more, check out the websites for your local nursery. Also visit me at the Everett Home and Garden Show March 6 through 8. I will be speaking each day at 2 p.m.

Support

Here’s a list of chores for the month of March. I expect you to get out and accomplish these things. Trust me, in the end you will be glad you did.

Frost protection. Get out those frost blankets and have them ready this month for what is sure to come: belowfreezing temps. This is especially critical considering how mild it was in January and February. If the mercury is going to drop below 30 degrees then cover your plants before you go to bed and remove the fabric in the morning after the sun is out for a couple of hours.

Lawns. Kill the moss early in the month with iron sulfate and later in the month do all the renovation stuff when the soils are a bit warmer. I will have more details on renovation later in the month.

Pruning. March is the month to finish up fruit trees, tidy up hedges, cut back ornamental grasses, massacre the roses and shape up the wisteria and clematis.

As early blooming plants like Forsythia, candy tuft and heather fade it is time to prune them back aggressively.

Perennials. Be very careful this month when you are tromping through the flower beds. The tender new shoots of perennials are starting to pop through the surface and the last thing you want to do is squash them. Get some organic food and compost on the soil to get them off to a good start.

Veggie gardens. It’s time to get the veggie garden in shape. Remove any weeds and spread some lime, organic fertilizer and compost and till it all together and you will be ready to plant all the cool season crops like potatoes, carrots, peas, radishes, onions, lettuce,

You will be surprised at the contrast and drama you can generate with conifers just from the variety of foliage colors and growth habits that are available. And don’t forget to look for miniature varieties that only grow an inch or less a year, which makes them well suited for containers rockeries or miniature gardens.

I have a few conifers that I planted in my garden but my all-time favorite is the giant weeping Sequoia that, at only a few feet wide, shoots up to the sky like a rocket on an erratic trajectory and serves to anchor my entire front bed.

In the back garden is a slender Hinoki Cypress that got a little too big for its britches so I have been artfully — my words, not my wife’s — pruning it to better fit the space.

On the other extreme is a cute little Korean Fir called Silver Pearl that sits in a pot by the back steps and stays nice and tidy by only growing an inch a season.

For more information on selecting and growing conifers, go to the Iseli Nursery website at www.iselinursery. com and make your list. Then come to our class March 7 and hear Jock Demme, sales manager for Iseli Nursery, discuss conifers.

Steve Smith is owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville and can be reached online at info@sunnysidenursery.net.

hydraulic model by Advantage Elevators, is expected to be installed in the shaft within several weeks.

The suite is nearing completion. There are still a few furnishings to be added and a TV to hang.

Sadly, her father-in-law died last December. “He never got to enjoy it,” she said.

The suite has French doors, granite countertops, polished tile and dark laminate-wood floors.

“The French doors add lots of light. I wanted it to be bright. I didn’t want it to be a dark cave,” Mari Cline said. “I didn’t want it to be sterile. I wanted it to reflect our home and style and be comfortable. I want anybody who is going to be here to be happy.”

The furnishings look like something from a model home.

daily crossword

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: One of my friends invited me to her wedding. She is also friends with a man I was in an abusive relationship with, and who assaulted me after we broke up.

This all happened years ago.

If he is coming, I won’t come.

If I just didn’t like him, of course I’d suck it up and go and be polite, but this is a potential threat to my safety. How do I handle this with the friend? The wedding is six months out and in my city, so there isn’t an easy or graceful way to bow out of it.

— Invited Yes, there is — or, I guess I should say, you have a pass on the matter of grace. This is your friend, which means presumably you like and care about each other. If my friend were in your position, I would want him or her to say to me directly: “X assaulted me after we broke up, and so it’s very important for me to know whether he will be at your wedding. I am sorry to put you in this spot, but please know I will handle this — all I am asking of you is information.”

If you feel you aren’t close enough to the friend to have this conversation, then you decline the

Dear Carolyn: My wife and I decided we both needed to lose weight. We went on a diet recommended by our doctors and were exercising almost every day. Initially things were great. She lost about 15 pounds, and I dropped 35. I’ve reached my goal; however, she not only gained the 15 pounds back, she added another 10.

She’s been extremely negative since then. We split cooking duties. When I cook, it’s something healthy. She won’t eat it. When she cooks, she always cooks something incredibly fattening (e.g., fried chicken). I’ll eat a small portion of what she cooks so that she doesn’t

With a referee, because this is not about weight, it’s about her shocking hostility. Get counseling without her if she refuses to join you.

Also suggest to her that you stop the cooking system, because it’s the source of so much conflict. Say you care more about mutual support than about whose night it is to cook. Even take over cooking full time, temporarily, if that helps. Say you miss the way things used to be between you. Ask her how she would like this to go — big picture.

Do a lot of listening.

Early-rising houseguest needs cereal and coffee Dear Abby: A family member, “Bill,” likes to come visit in the afternoons and, because he’s not comfortable driving in the dark, he always plans to stay overnight. When he does, he wakes up very early, often before 6 a.m.

Bill tries to be as quiet as possible, but we know when he is up. Our dog hears someone moving around and thinks it’s time to go out and eat. My husband or I will get up to take care of our dog, but at that point, it seems rude to go back to bed. My husband likes to go back to sleep, but I feel I should get up and entertain our guest. Is it bad manners to go back to sleep even though it is still very early? — To Sleep, Or Not To Sleep Dear T.S. Or N.T.S.: If you need your sleep, go back to bed. The right amount of sleep is important, and not getting it can ruin one’s entire day.

If you’re concerned about Bill not having a good breakfast, before going to bed, put the coffeemaker on “automatic” and show him where the cereal is kept. That’s not being a bad hostess, and I’m sure Bill will be just fine.

Dear Abby: My letter is in response to “A Mom in Connecticut” (Dec. 27), who feels she is being “fitted in” because her daughter calls her only while driving in her car.

My daughter calls me almost every morning on her way to work. She calls me her “commute buddy.”

It gives us 10 to 15 minutes to catch up, vent about “stuff” on both ends of the phone, or just chat. I can tell when she arrives at work or very nearly, and we always end with “Love you.”

DEAR AbbY I love our conversations and the fact that although she has an extremely busy schedule she finds the time to chat with me. She uses her hands-free phone, so I don’t worry too much about her being distracted.

— Sheila In Prescott, Ariz.

Dear Sheila: You may not be worried about your daughter using a handsfree phone, but others have a different view. Read on: Dear Abby: Drivers on cellphones — even handsfree — are four times more likely to crash and hurt themselves or someone else within five minutes of making a call. Texters are 23 times more likely to crash. More than 3,000 people are killed this way each year and 300,000 to 500,000 are injured. The daughter should not be using a phone at all while driving.

How do I know the statistics? My son was killed by a driver on a cellphone.

— Gary In Kenosha, Wisconsin Dear Gary: Please accept my condolences for the tragic loss of your son. You are generous to have written. Too often people take the privilege of driving for granted, forgetting that if they don’t concentrate fully on driving, they place themselves and those around them in danger. I see this happen often, and I’m afraid that unless the consequences are draconian, it will continue.

New show digs into ancient conspiracy

Thursday’s highlights on TV include: In the compelling new drama “American Crime,” a brutal homeinvasion case sends shock waves into a Central California community and stirs up tensions across racial lines. Felicity Huffman and Timothy Hutton lead the cast. 10 p.m., ABC Will we dig “Dig”? It’s a 10-part “event series” that follows an FBI agent (Jason Issacs) as he

By Rick Bentley The Fresno Bee

PASADENA, Calif. — Tim Kring has been a writer and producer on television programs for more than 20 years with shows such as “Chicago Hope,” “Heroes” and “Touch.”

None of the projects have been as logistically complicated as his new cable series, “Dig.” The “Da Vinci Code”-like thriller about a conspiracy 2,000 years in the making was shot in New Mexico, Croatia and Jerusalem. It stars Anne Heche and Jason Isaacs, and premieres at 10 p.m. Thursday on USA Network.

“The shows that I’ve produced have all shot in Los Angeles,” Kring says.

“I lived and worked within eight miles of them. They were not highly locationbased shows. . . . This one really had a lot of logistical issues. That said, on the surface it sounded monumental. But, once we landed where we landed, we found highly skilled crews and perfect locations.”

Kring loved seeing the world through a number of locations that have never been seen before on television.

The exotic locations

....

Today is Thursday, March 5, the 64th day of 2015. There are 301 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.

On this date: In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted.

In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.

In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power.

Composer Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow at age 61.

In 1955, Elvis Presley made his television debut on “Louisiana Hayride”

already been shot.

For Kring, the most important part of bringing “Dig” to the screen is the story. No amount of locations or actors can help when the plot is weak.

And finding a winning story often depends on timing. Kring points to “Heroes” as an example. That genre of super humans had not been that popular on TV for some time. “Heroes” not only rekindled the genre, but it sparked imitators.

“The trick is take an idea that’s not mainstream and catching it at the right time when it actually wants to be mainstream,” Kring says. “And then doing it in a mainstream, friendly way.”

Have you just purchased a house?

Sure, you may still have lots of work ahead of you before you can call it the perfect home, but settling in fast and getting cozy will set you on your way. Here are five tips to help you get comfortable.

NEW HOME OWNERS For a job well done, call in some real professionals — a plumber, interior decorator, house painter, etc.

1. For safety’s sake, change the locks on all exterior doors to ensure that the only people who have keys are those you have given to them personally. You should also draw up an evacuation plan and ensure there are enough smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the house.

2. Entrust any renovations and repairs to true professionals to ensure the job is done well. If you have several similar jobs to be done (plumbing or electricity, for example), have them all done at the same time. Shop around for several quotes to keep costs to a minimum.

3. You don’t know what to do with the living room? You’re not talented in

Unlike most TV series, “Dig” won’t launch as a limitless commodity. “Dig” will air in 10 parts that will come to a closed ending. Just enough story will be left open for a second season.

Kring is certain viewers like the idea of knowing there is a set end to a story.

“When J.K. Rowling told the world that she was going to go write seven Harry Potters, it made those books very precious to people, because if you were on book number five, you only had two more to go, and there was something very compelling about that,” Kring says. “I think television has finally seen this as a viable model as well.”

carried by KSLA-TV Shreveport (although audio recordings exist, there is no known video footage of this appearance).

In 1960, Cuban newspaper photographer Alberto Korda took the now-famous picture of guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara during a memorial service in Havana for victims of a ship explosion. Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army.

In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).

In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33.
