OSO MUDSLIDE

Is aid reaching all who need it?

Social services agencies have allocated $7 million of $9.5 million in donations, but there is some question as to relief for those “impacted” and those “affected.”

By Chris Winters and Kari Bray Herald Writers

OSO — The large social services agencies responding to the Oso mudslide raised $9.5 million

in donations and have distributed or otherwise allocated $7 million of it.

But nearly a year after the disaster that killed 43 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 50 homes, there are still

questions about whether the money is getting to those who need it most.

The Snohomish County chapter of the American Red Cross accounts for about half the money raised and spent, with $4.8 million brought in and $3.7 million dispersed. The United Way of Snohomish County and the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation together raised $4.7

million and have dispersed $3.3 million of it, with almost all the rest allocated.

Some survivors feel those organizations could have done better, however.

Julie Kuntz hopes that everyone will learn how better to support people who lose loved ones or homes in disasters.

MONROE — Randy Brown, a third-grade teacher at Fryelands Elementary School here, has digitally duplicated himself. He’s produced more than 500 instructional videos that allow him more one-onone time with students.

The videos include information a teacher would traditionally provide while lecturing. Instead, Brown’s students don headsets and watch lessons.

OSO — With the fusing of two fine, flexible strands, permanent landlines between Arlington and Darrington have been restored, nearly a year after the deadly mudslide here severed connections.

The new lines replace a temporary system that has been in place since two days after the March 22 disaster.

On Tuesday, Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin completed the link. They lined up thin fiber optic cables in a black box, then pressed a button that brought the machine to life. Tolbert’s strand stemmed from a blue Arlington cable, Rankin’s from a yellow Darrington line. The machine spliced them, sealing the wires together.

“That’s a perfect splice,” said Andrea Stinardo, a Frontier Communications splicer who guided the mayors through the process.

Frontier crews finished attaching lines to new utility poles last week. Tolbert and Rankin called the project a milestone in the ongoing recovery of their communities.

Last year’s mudslide killed 43 people and isolated Darrington by burying a stretch of Highway 530, toppling utility poles and snapping wires. It wiped out the town’s landlines for phone, Internet and 911 calls. The SaukSuiattle Reservation also was cut off.

“Our 911 depends on this cable being up and operating, so you can imagine how important this is,” Tolbert said.

For nearly a year, temporary lines were run through ravines and tethered to trees, Frontier general manager Ken Baldwin said. In the days after the mudslide, quickly reconnecting Darrington to the rest of the world was more important than the placement of the wires, he said. There weren’t any poles left in the slide area.

classroom is littered with laptops, headphones and tablets. Students quietly watch videos and work with him on lessons.

Educators throughout the region have taken notice. Brown was hired by City University in Seattle and by the Puget Sound Educational Service District to show other teachers how to make instructional videos.

With the money he earned by teaching the adults, Brown bought each of his third-graders a pen tablet. In January, his classroom went paperless.

“It’s amazing because we don’t have to waste the forest,” said Kierstyn Bissett, 8. “It’s ruining the wildlife.

And it just doesn’t seem right.”

The paperless classroom is also saving the school money. About 40 percent of Fryelands’ $36,000 supply budget is eaten by paper and photocopy costs, administrators said.

Brown is saving the school an estimated $400 a year by eliminating paper.

Kierstyn said picking up the digital technology was a little challenging at first.

“It took us like two hours,” she said. “But it took the adults like two days.”

take in a lecture by watching a video and apply the concepts face-to-face with the teacher. In traditional classrooms, of course, teachers lecture and students go home with problems to solve.

Brown got the idea three years ago from Khan Academy, a website of instructional videos. He realized that by recording lessons, he could be in more than one place at a time. But first he needed a then-pricey device to let him write on a computer and transform his writing and talking into a video.

“I pleaded with my wife, ‘Please let me get this, it’ll be my next two Christmas presents,’” he recalled.

Brown worked for three hours before class each morning for two years to produce the videos, which include photos, graphics and his voice. Now he has recorded lessons in each academic area. Most of the videos are about 10 minutes long.

“I love Mr. Brown’s videos,” said third-grade student Breanna Emerson, 10. “They’re long but they teach us how to do things.”

Today, Brown’s all-digital

LOTTERY

Students have picked up some useful tricks, too.

“If you press Control-Z, it erases,” said Maddie Stelloh, 8.

Maddie enjoys using the audio and video recording equipment in Brown’s classroom. There’s a 15-by8-foot green screen that students use to produce weekly newscasts with stories from Time for Kids magazine. They’ve dubbed their show “Room 21 TFK News.”

“It’s really fun because I get to pretend I’m actually a news reporter,” Maddie said. “And I get to edit after.”

Maddie’s mother, Erin Commins, said parents, too, benefit from Brown’s high-tech teaching. The videos are available on the class website. They come in handy when it’s homework time.

“We forget things over the years,” said Commins, a private reading tutor. “And the way things are taught is different now.”

Commins said the extra time Brown spends with students makes a difference. Her daughter comes home from school excited about the way she’s learning with technology.

“The enthusiasm and drive Mr. Brown has is really, really incredible,” Commins said. “He truly cares. His motivation is

purely, genuinely caring about the kids.”

Fryelands Principal Jeff Presley said Brown’s enthusiasm for teaching with technology is spreading to his colleagues.

Brown shares his videos and shows other Monroe teachers how to make them. Now some are putting their own spin on the technique in their own classrooms, Presley said.

“That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t have to be cookiecutter,” he said. “The goal is always to have kids be a part of their learning

experience. The more they’re in charge of their own learning the more powerful the teaching is.”

Groups of students rotate through Brown’s classroom, taking turns watching videos and receiving instruction.

Brown believes he’s found an inexpensive way to reduce the number of children he has to work with at one time. Washington voters attempted to do that in 2014, passing Initiative 1351, which calls for reduced class sizes at an estimated cost of $4.7

billion through 2019.

The videos also allow Brown to zero in on children who are struggling with the lessons. He gives students instant feedback, fixing mistakes on their screen in red. He said he now has time to work with each student until they really understand each concept.

“This is the single most powerful transformation I’ve seen in education in 31 years,” Brown said. “We need to leverage technology and use it to help kids.”

Students in Randy Brown’s third grade class at Fryelands Elementary School work on their lessons using computers Tuesday.

Associated Press LOS ANGELES — A jury awarded Marvin Gaye’s children nearly $7.4 million Tuesday after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father’s music to create “Blurred Lines,” the biggest hit song of 2013.

Gaye’s daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was read and was hugged by her attorney.

“Right now, I feel free,” she said

The verdict could tarnish the legacy of Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy Awards and appears on NBC’s music competition show “The Voice.”

He and Thicke are “undoubtedly disappointed,” said their lead attorney, Howard King, who said a decision in favor of Gaye’s heirs

could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist’s sound.

Larry Iser, an intellectual property attorney who has represented numerous musicians in copyright cases, was critical of the outcome.

“Unfortunately, today’s jury verdict has blurred the lines between protectable elements of a musical composition and the unprotectable musical style or groove exemplified

by Marvin Gaye,” Iser said.

Your chance to sound off on issues State lawmakers plan town hall meetings Saturday

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Residents in Snohomish and Island counties get a chance Saturday to tell state lawmakers what they think of efforts to hike the gas tax, boost the minimum wage, revamp marijuana laws and toughen rules against using a cellphone while driving.

And they won’t have to travel to Olympia to do so.

Democratic and Republicans lawmakers from the two counties are hosting town halls Saturday to gauge the public’s opinion of what’s been done and what’s left to do in this year’s legislative session. Public meetings are planned in Everett, Lynnwood, Bothell, Coupeville and Shoreline.

No two meetings are exactly alike in terms of turnout or the topics.

“People are going to want an update on where we are on the big issues like education and the budget,” said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton.

She hopes to talk about the “good bipartisan work going on here” to protect people’s privacy and personal information from online snoops and nefarious drones.

But whatever is in the headlines this week could dominate the conversation, she acknowledged.

“That’s usually the case, and we’ve got a few days of headlines,” she said Monday.

This year’s 105-day session is scheduled to end April 26. That means lawmakers are past the halfway point.

Among the highlights thus far is Senate passage of a $15 billion transportation package that includes an 11.7-cent increase in

the gas tax and higher car-license fees. Also, the House passed a bill to increase the minimum wage to $12 an hour in four years.

On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill to outlaw most activities on a cellphone by drivers while a car is moving. It would mean no emailing, no Facebook and not even use of a map app on a smartphone.

As those issues advance, the Legislature also must act on a new state budget and possibly new or higher taxes to help fund the public education system.

Sen. Marko Liias, D-Lynnwood, said school funding could be a big topic because area teacher unions are trying to get people to show up.

The Washington State Labor Council, the state’s largest coalition of unions, on Tuesday called

The five-story Hodges Building in Everett was designed by the same architect who drew the 1910 Commerce Building across Hewitt Avenue.

Downtown redevelopment may doom 1923 Hodges Building

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Local history buffs are worried that civic leaders could end up erasing pieces of Everett’s architectural heritage in the name of reviving downtown.

A redevelopment project tied to Snohomish County’s new courthouse could take out a block on the south side of Hewitt Avenue.

The area is part of a nationally recognized historic district between Colby Avenue and Broadway.

“It would really compromise the historic feeling of our downtown,” local historian Jack O’Donnell said.

The issue is a concern to both the nonprofit Historic Everett, where O’Donnell serves as secretary, and Everett’s advisory Historical Commission, where he’s vice chairman.

The block in question includes the condemned five-story Hodges Building on the southeast corner of Rockefeller and Hewitt avenues. The Hodges is one of four older structures still standing on the block, which lost the 1894 McCrossen Building in a 2012 fire that also claimed a man’s life.

With farmers market season almost here, it’s time for lowincome seniors to apply for a popular program that provides $40 in checks to help buy fresh produce.

Demand for assistance exceeds the amount of money available for the Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program, which is administered by Senior Services of Snohomish County. The program is paid for by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and money the Legislature appropriates from the state general fund.

Last year was the start of a process that had recipients chosen by a lottery system, which will also be used this season. In previous years, checks were distributed at area markets, but that system had older people waiting in long lines.

To be eligible, applicants must be 60 or older by June 1; be a Snohomish County resident; and have a monthly income of $1,814 or less in a one-person household, $2,457 or less in a household of two, and $642 for each additional person in the home.

The story behind your local neighborhood business.

EKKC practices the four elements of fitness success studying martial arts for 25 years. His teacher, 8th Dan John Shipes, has been studying martial arts and karate for 35 years.

Shipe’s teacher and head of the Matsumura Shorinryu tradition is Grandmaster Fusei Kise. Grandmaster Kise has been studying and teaching karate for 65 years from his home in Okinawa and is recognized by the government of Japan as the sole heir to the secrets of this style of karate.

“We honor ancient martial arts tradition and revere the masters who have preserved and passed it down to us,” says Amey. We are traditional in that way.

We practice the fighting forms, of course, but we also teach respectful behaviors, self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others. We don’t want you to be just a fighter,” says Amey. “Karate is a life style as much as it is a life activity.”

“You will know pretty quickly whether you like it,” says Max Puls, one of Amey’s senior instructors.

“You will train two and three nights a week. It is physically demanding and requires the type of mental toughness that must be developed over time. It is hard at first, but so what? Most everything that is worth-

Hodges: Restoration called too costly Meetings From Page A3

Hodges in December 2013 and the city later made tenants leave over unresolved code-enforcement issues.

Immediately west of Xfinity Arena, city leaders view the down-on-its-heels block as crucial for downtown.

Lately, concerns have centered around parking.

The Hodges dates from 1923 and was designed by noted local architect Benjamin Turnbull, who also designed the 1910 Commerce Building across the street.

“They are two distinctly complementary structures by the same architect who had a profound impact on the central business district,” said David Dilgard, a history specialist at the Everett Public Library.

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson’s administration has been sizing up the block for potential redevelopment for at least two years.

The city signed a $25,000 contract with Wallace Properties, Inc. of Bellevue to determine what might work.

The consultant looked at the entire block, from Wall Street

north to Hewitt, and Oakes Avenue west to Rockefeller.

The consultant said the block had high potential for development into retail and parking space but deemed the possibility of renovating the Hodges as too expensive. The estimated cost for overhauling the three-dozen apartment units inside worked out to at least $8.9 million. The consultant said it would be cheaper and make more business sense to tear down the nearly century-old edifice.

When the consultants were examining the Hodges the county had yet to decide to put an eight-story courthouse on the same block. The county in November 2013 decided to build the new courthouse on a county-owned parking lot there and six smaller business parcels condemned for the project.

Throughout 2014, city and county officials discussed how they might match their respective plans for a new courthouse and downtown economic development.

Stephanson and other city leaders said they were surprised to learn in late 2014

that the county had no apparent plans to partner on redevelopment, particularly on courthouse parking.

The City Council imposed a new requirement for the new courthouse to include more than 300 parking spaces. That action has kept the $162 million courthouse project in doubt ever since.

The County Council expects to hear back next week on negotiations to resolve the impasse, County Council Chairman Dave Somers said.

An agreement would likely involve the city building a new structure with several hundred parking spaces and the county leasing several hundred of those stalls to satisfy the city’s requirements.

Other County Council members believe the county needs to rethink the plans and possibly pick a new location for the courthouse.

The agreement between the city and county could involve redeveloping the block of Hewitt Avenue that has preservationists worried. That’s not the only potential location, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

Muhlstein: Protecting kids From Page A3

Noah Haglund’s article mentioned kids. It said that Marilyn Finsen, Snohomish County Superior Court’s administrator since January, “doesn’t believe that safety or the well-being of any young detainees has been compromised.”

The most important people at Denney are children and teenagers in trouble.

Denney exists both for the security of our community and of the young people held there. This column is meant to answer questions that families may have, not to excuse detainees’ behavior.

Parents of kids involved in the juvenile justice system have plenty to worry about without added fears related to the Denney investigation. One father called The Herald after Friday’s article was published to ask about detainee strip searches.

In a place where people in authority wield power over kids in detention, it’s not a big leap to imagine that a highly inappropriate work atmosphere could bleed over into the primary duty. Did any corrections officers ever aim inappropriate comments or actions at a kid?

Shane Nybo, Snohomish County Superior Court’s assistant administrator, offered assurance about practices and security at Denney. Nybo was Denney’s assistant administrator when the issues covered in the investigation

Reclaiming Futures A Reclaiming Futures Celebration, featuring young people whose lives have been turned around by the mentor program, is scheduled for 4-6 p.m.

Wednesday in the Everett Music Hall at Everett Mall, 1402 SE Everett Mall Way. Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss and Superior Court Judge Marybeth Dingledy will discuss the history and future of the program.

Reclaiming Futures brings together the juvenile justice system, substance abuse treatment, and community helpers to involve at-risk kids in positive activities. The event is free, but RSVP online at: www.brownpapertickets. com/event/1155592 were revealed.

“That was one of the first questions we were asking when this investigation came to light — any allegations of inappropriate behavior with the juveniles? Throughout working with investigators in the past year, there was no indication of that, and that was reassuring,” Nybo said Tuesday.

He stressed that kids at Denney get information about how to report a complaint. “If they’re experiencing any inappropriate behavior, peer to

peer or with staff, there’s a mechanism for them to report and have that investigated,” he said. “We do get occasional complaints peer to peer. They know each other in the community and have unresolved issues.”

Detainees are screened based on age and offenses.

Nybo said those perceived to be predatory are kept separate from more vulnerable kids.

He said that when kids come in, they have to change into orange detention garb. Detainees shower, and some are strip-searched. “There are specific protocols for certain offenses,” he said,

“One of the issues under discussion is how close does it need to be to the courthouse,” Pembroke said. “The county’s interest is that it be relatively close. We haven’t reached a final agreement on that proposal yet.”

Hodges owner Pete Sikov said he talked to county staff periodically in 2014 about buying his building, but said the money discussed was far below what he expected. Sikov said he’s since entered into a purchase-and-sale agreement with a private developer for the Hodges Building. He also owns three of the other four parcels on that block of Hewitt Avenue, including the former McCrossen site, which are part of the potential sale.

Whatever happens, Dave Ramstad and other Everett preservationists want to keep as many buildings standing here as possible.

“When people come to Everett they see that it’s a real town,” said Ramstad, a board member of Historic Everett. “It’s not plastic.”

Noah Haglund: 425-3393465; nhaglund@heraldnet. com. Twitter: @NWhaglund.

adding that two staff are always present during those searches, with guards the same gender as the detainee.

Staff members are trained in cultural diversity and issues related to the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act, Nybo said.

He described Denney’s housing units, each with an officer overseeing up to 12 kids. “There is also a central control line of vision into each of those housing units,” Nybo said. “There are cameras throughout the facility

on union members statewide to attend a town hall in their community to “urge their lawmakers to support pro-working family legislation,” such as raising the minimum wage to $12 an hour and providing paid sick leave.

Sen. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, anticipates questions about trains carrying coal and oil and work to protect the public in the event of an accident. A recent spate of derailments around the country could fuel interest on the subject, he said.

Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, expects to talk about education and transportation.

She’d like to explain why she thinks the Senate should follow the lead of the House and pass the Washington Voting Rights Act to ensure fair and equitable elections. Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, wrote that bill.

But she expects there might be a lot of talk at her district’s town hall about preserving the front nine holes and clubhouse of the Wayne Golf Course in Bothell. McAuliffe said she, Moscoso and Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, are working to secure up to $3 million in the next state capital budget to help acquire the land.

“You never know what (subject) will be big,” she said.

under central control.”

Detainees aren’t necessarily escorted by more than one staff member, he said, “but going down halls, you have a line of sight. And there are multiple cameras in hallways.”

The facility is upgrading cameras, a process that began before the investigation. Nybo hopes that by fall, Denney will have a more extensive camera system installed. It will allow for recording, which doesn’t happen now.

Addressing the workplace issues, a human

resources manager is now at Denney two days a week.

And a detention manager has been moved into the staff areas nearly all the time, “to have more direct involvement,” Nybo said.

Without a doubt, there are corrections officers and others at Denney who are positive role models for kids. Too bad their work — often thankless — has been overshadowed by peers who surely know better.

Senate votes to ban smartphone use by drivers

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The Washington Senate has voted to extend the state’s ban on cellphone use while driving to cover the range of functions a smartphone can now serve — like using Twitter and Facebook.

Lawmakers in 2008 could only conceive of two cellphone uses dangerous enough to ban drivers from: hand-held phone calls and texting. But the Senate on Tuesday passed a far broader list of banned activities by a bipartisan 35-14 margin.

The bill now moves to the House for consideration.

Technically allowed now but out under the new measure are Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram and video games.

Engaging in any of those behind the wheel would become grounds for a $209 ticket that, for the second offense and all afterward, would drive up insurance rates. So, too, would consulting Google maps or Yelp reviews to figure out where to drive for an outing, even while the car is motionless at a stop sign or a traffic light.

“The time is right,” said Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, lead sponsor of the bill. “We know that Apple is putting out new iPhones all the time, and I don’t want to be on the Apple 12 before we revisit this.”

Under her bill, drivers would be free to use their cellphones only in hands-free

mode or while parked on the roadside. It would become a traffic infraction for a driver to be occupied with entering information into a cellphone by hand, reading an article or even holding the phone.

Washington is already one of 13 states that ban handheld calls and texting for all drivers.

While no senator spoke up for a right to like a Facebook status while steering through I-5 traffic, several discussed how the evolution — and increasing ease of use — of wireless technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch introduced Monday, complicated the issue.

Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, brought up the complexity of the in-dash GPS systems many new cars

come with and held up her phone to illustrate the point before voting against the bill.

“I honestly think that it’s less confusing to use this cellphone to get directions than it is to go into my car and do it,” Roach said.

Under an amendment proposed by Sen. Marko Liias, D-Lynnwood, it would come with one partly free pass: the first offense would not affect a driver’s insurance rates. Liias and other senators noted the risk inherent in enabling a teenager’s cellphone reliance to affect the family’s car insurance premiums.

“I’ll tell you, if my son or daughter broke this law two or three times, they wouldn’t be driving anymore,” Liias said.

Frightening video captures apparent bid to kidnap toddler

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

Authorities on Tuesday were searching for a man caught on surveillance video running down a sidewalk with a toddler in his arms, with the boy’s two young siblings screaming and chasing behind him, in what officials in the tiny town of Sprague say was a failed kidnapping.

The dramatic scene ended after a pair of teenagers also chased after the man and he set the boy down and ran off Sunday, authorities said. The 22-month-old child wasn’t hurt, said Lincoln County Sheriff Wade Magers.

Authorities said they don’t believe the man is a resident of Sprague, a wheat farming town of about 500 people located 40 miles west of Spokane.

“We don’t believe him to be a local at this point,” Magers said. “We’d recognize him if he was local.”

Magers said authorities have no leads in the case.

The boy’s father, Michael Wright, said he was horrified by the incident.

“I can’t explain the feeling, the anxiety and everything that goes into finding out your children is missing or something has happened to them,” Wright told KXLY-TV of Spokane.

Wright left his three children with a baby sitter Sunday while he went to work. The children — Brenden, 10, Delicia, 8, and the boy — were playing unsupervised in a city park near the sitter’s house, he told the television station.

Sheriff’s deputies said a man talked with the children for a few minutes, then scooped the toddler out of his stroller and ran down the street. Surveillance video from a grocery store showed the kidnapper running, child in arms, with Delicia chasing and Brenden not far behind.

Delicia’s screams alerted Dorothy Giddings, who was working at her antique store downtown.

“I said there is something wrong,” Giddings recalled Tuesday.

“Then this man busts out and runs across the street and he’s got a baby and a little girl right behind him screaming,” Giddings said.

“The girl said, ‘That man got my baby brother! That man got my baby brother!”’

Giddings said she realized what was happening and sent her teenage grandson, Andrew Crane,

Associated Press OLYMPIA — The Washington Senate has passed a bill to lower the age at which an injured worker can settle a claim from 53 to 40.

The chamber passed Senate Bill 5513 on a 28-21 vote Tuesday after debate on whether the bill does enough to protect workers whose disabilities later make them unable to find work. The bill’s proponents said lowering the age to accept a structured settlement will give injured workers more options to take control of their futures.

Under the current system, the age at which a worker can settle out of a worker’s compensation claim was initially set at 55 and has since moved to 53 on its way to a target age of 50 by 2016. The bill, which goes next to the House, would change the age to 40 later this year.

As the older boys approached, the kidnapper put the child down in a vacant lot and fled, the sheriff’s office said.

“He went around a corner and disappeared,” Giddings said. “Somehow he disappeared from the face of the earth.”

No vehicle was seen with the kidnapper, who is described by the sheriff’s office as about 30 years old, 6-foot to 6-foot-2, with a thin build, brown hair and a mustache.

Bunker in Sammamish area linked to bank robber, FBI says Associated Press SAMMAMISH — The FBI says law enforcement officers have found an underground bunker near Seattle that’s believed to have been used by a convicted bank robber who spent nearly five years on the run before he was arrested last summer.

FBI Seattle spokeswoman Ayn Dietrich-Williams said investigators have hauled out large tubs of evidence from the bunker found Tuesday east of Seattle near Lake Sammamish.

There’s no immediate word on what was inside.

Reporters got a tour of the bunker, which included a cot, plastic bags and shelves with bottles.

SEATTLE — A federal judge has set a July 2016 trial date for a lawsuit filed against the United States by the parents of two teens, one of whom was from Marysville, who were killed in 2011 by an anti-government paramilitary group in the woods near the Fort Stewart Army base in Georgia.

The parents of Michael Roark, 19, of Marysville, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Tiffany York, said Army commanders should have intervened in the activities of the group, which called itself “Forever Enduring, Always Ready,” or FEAR. It was made up of soldiers who planned to kill President Barack Obama and other violent activities. The group’s leader and three others killed Roark and York because they feared they would reveal their plans to authorities, the lawsuit said.

Pvt. Isaac Aguigui of Cashmere, was convicted in the killing of Roark and York, as well as the murder of his pregnant wife. Three others also involved in the shooting have been convicted and sentenced. But the parents of the two teens said the lawsuit, filed Dec. 12 in U.S. District Court in Seattle, seek “to hold the Army accountable for this heartbreakingly preventable tragedy.”

“Army officials recklessly allowed FEAR to form and fester within its ranks at Fort Stewart, Georgia, despite abundant signs that Pvt. Aguigui and his cohorts were dangerous and mentally unstable soldiers in desperate need of arrest and treatment,” the lawsuit said. “As a result of the Army’s negligence, two promising young people lost their lives on the cusp of adulthood.”

Acting U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes filed a response to the complaint on Feb. 23 denying the allegations and saying the lawsuit should be dismissed.

The lawsuit claims the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command failed to see obvious signs that Aguigui had killed his wife in July 2011. He was not charged in her murder until April 2013 — long after he had ordered the

murders of Roark and York, the lawsuit said.

The Army paid Aguigui $519,400 in death benefits “despite clear evidence of his guilt.”

That money was critical to the development of FEAR, the lawsuit said.

Aguigui used the funds to arm the group, including $32,000 in weapons purchased from High Mountain Hunting Supply in Wenatchee, the lawsuit said. He also spent $16,000 on sixteen guns, the lawsuit said. The FBI looked into the purchases after one of the private’s relatives reported the gunbuys to Wenatchee police.

The FBI relayed concerns about the purchases to its counterparts in Georgia and at Fort Stewart, but the Army took no action, the lawsuit said.

Aguigui recruited members to his terrorist militia by targeting troubled soldiers, the lawsuit said. Roark had been stationed at Fort Stewart, but he was discharged in the fall of 2011 for minor misconduct. Others also had criminal histories.

During that period, FEAR expanded its criminal activities and terrorist plans, the lawsuit said.

Aguigui and others took Roark and York into the woods so the soldiers could learn interrogation techniques, but after York was shot, they also killed Roark because “he could not be trusted to keep quiet after seeing his sweetheart gunned down,” the lawsuit said.

The deaths of Aguigui’s wife, Roark and York “are not anomalies that took the Army by surprise,” the suit said.

“Rather, they reflect a pattern over the last decade in which the military has accepted more and more recruits with criminal records while retaining more and more who behaved egregiously in uniform,” the lawsuit said. Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are susceptible to being recruited by antigovernment militias, but the Army “turned a blind eye to organized and violent groups within its ranks,” the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for each of the four parents.

The bench trial before Judge Marsha Pechman is expected to run 15 days.

Rescuers try to reach climber east of Verlot VERLOT — A mountain rescue was under way Tuesday evening after a woman took her dogs up a steep, snow-choked chute known as Headlee Pass and decided it was too unsafe to descend.

The pass is near 6,214foot Vesper Peak east of Verlot. It is regularly used to ascend the peak.

Two other climbers told the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office they were in the area Tuesday and heard the woman calling for help.

They went to the ranger station in Verlot and alerted officials around 12:30 p.m., sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The sheriff’s office helicopter crew flew to the area and spotted the woman but was unable to immediately reach her. They later were able to lower a radio to her and also lowered a crew member, who hiked to her location at the 4,000-foot level.

The woman told the team that she was unable to descend because her dogs could not navigate the steep and dangerous terrain, Ireton said.

The sheriff’s office was working with Everett Mountain Rescue on Tuesday evening to sort out how to get the woman and her dogs to safety.

‘A matter of convenience’ Clinton says she should have used second email account for business

By Anita Kumar McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Under fire, Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she regrets using a private email account for business while she was secretary of state but said she did so only as a matter of “convenience.”

“I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,” Clinton said in her first public comments about the emails.

“Looking back, it would’ve been better if I’d simply used a second email account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didn’t seem like an issue,” she said.

Clinton said she turned over about 30,000 work emails, none with classified material, to the State Department after destroying another 30,000 private emails that were “not in any way related to my work.”

She said those included correspondence about her daughter’s wedding and her mother’s funeral.

“No one wants their personal emails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy,” she said. “I didn’t see any reason to keep them.”

Earlier Tuesday, the State Department announced that it planned to release Clinton’s

RICHARD DREW / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hillary Rodham Clinton answers questions at a news conference at the United Nations on Tuesday.

work-related emails — 55,000 printed pages of them — on a publicly accessible website following a months-long review.

Clinton, who said she saved any email that could possibly be viewed as work related, said she welcomed the news.

“I’m very glad to hear, because I want it all out there,” she said.

Clinton made her first extended remarks about the controversy at a news conference at the United Nations, which followed a speech to commemorate one of the most important moments in Clinton’s career.

But the speech on the 20th anniversary of her women’s rights speech in Beijing was overshadowed by a pair of controversies — her use of private email to conduct government business and her family’s

foundation’s decision to accept foreign donations.

“I am very proud of the work the foundation does,” Clinton said in response to a question about the donations. “I’m very proud of the hundreds of thousands of people who support the work of the foundation and the results that have been achieved for people here at home and around the world.”

Some donations to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation have come from nations that degrade women, but Clinton said she has been very clear where she stands on gender equality. “There can’t be any mistake about my passion concerning women’s rights here at home and around the world,” she said.

The 20-minute news conference came after weeks of

silence on both issues, except for a single tweet sent after 11 one night last week.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called Clinton’s news conference “completely disingenuous.”

“If she had an ounce of respect for the American people, she would have apologized for putting our national security at risk for ‘convenience,’ “ he said. “She would’ve agreed to hand over her secret server to an independent arbiter. And she would’ve reassured the nation that her influence is not for sale to foreign governments.

She did none of that.”

Indeed, there was no doubt questions remained.

Clinton, for example, said that the “laws and regulations in effect when she was secretary” indicated using personal email was permissible.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest has said several times in the last week that “the administration has given guidance to all of our employees that they should use their official email address when they’re conducting official government work.”

Clinton said she used a computer server that was set up for former President Bill Clinton’s office, which had numerous safeguards and was protected by the Secret Service. “There were no security breaches,” she said. But she said she would not release the server, as some have demanded.

Plans to ban popular rifle ammo dropped WASHINGTON — Amid an onslaught of criticism, the Obama administration has dropped plans to ban a popular type of rifle ammunition that can pierce a police officer’s protective vest if fired from a handgun, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said.

The ATF had proposed banning some types of ammunition used in the AR15-style rifles. More than 80,000 people have commented on the proposal to ban certain types of 5.56 mm, or .223 caliber, ammunition. An ATF spokeswoman, Ginger Colbrun, said Tuesday most comments were critical of the proposal.

Calif.: Strong quake certain A new report says California faces a greater than 99 percent chance of being rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years. The report Tuesday by the U.S. Geological Survey found that the odds of a magnitude-6.7 quake similar in size to the 1994 Northridge disaster was higher in Northern California than Southern California — 95 percent versus 93 percent. The report is a forecast, but it is not a prediction.

Nev.: Firebombing attempt The FBI is investigating an apparent attempt to firebomb a KFC restaurant in Reno where authorities reported a window was broken, a flammable liquid found inside and the initials of an animal rights group scrawled on a drivethru sign. KOLO-TV in Reno reported that the damage included “ALF” spraypainted on the sign. Animal Liberation Front activists have long accused KFC of animal cruelty. The group most recently claimed responsibility for a fire in February 2014 that badly damaged a KFC in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.

Utah: Firing squad OK’d Utah has passed a bill that would make it the only state to allow firing squads for carrying out a death penalty if there is a shortage of execution drugs.

The bill passed 18-10 in the state Senate on Tuesday. Whether it will become law is unclear: Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, a Republican, won’t say if he’ll sign the measure.

AROUND THE WORLD Argentina: Bodies of French Olympians recovered

By Susan Haigh Associated Press

BOSTON — Charla Nash never served in the military.

She was horribly disfigured, not in combat, but in a 2009 attack by a rampaging chimpanzee. The Pentagon, though, is watching her recovery closely.

The U.S. military paid for Nash’s full face transplant in 2011, as well as face transplants for a small group of other civilians. The agency also is underwriting Nash’s followup treatment at a combined cost estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hope that some of the things it learns can help young, seriously disfigured soldiers returning from war.

In the coming weeks, for example, Nash will take part in a military-funded experiment in which doctors at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital will try to wean her off the anti-rejection drugs she has been taking since the transplant.

Nash jokes about sometimes feeling like a science project.

But the 61-year-old daughter of an Air Force veteran said she gets real satisfaction out of letting the doctors use her for research, and she sees it as an opportunity to help wounded soldiers and “do something good out of all of this bad.”

“They asked me, could they?

I said, ‘Yeah, I’d be thrilled to help out in any way I could,”’ said Nash, a former Connecticut resident who now lives on her own in Boston with the help of part-time aides.

Nash lost her nose, lips, eyelids and hands when she was mauled by her employer’s 200-pound pet chimpanzee in Stamford, Connecticut. Doctors also had to remove her eyes because of a disease transmitted by the chimp.

She later received new facial

Charla Nash sits in her favorite chair at her second-story apartment in Boston on Feb. 20. The Department of Defense is following Nash’s progress, after funding her full-face transplant in 2011. Nash lost her face, eyes and hands after being mauled by her boss’s pet in 2009.

features taken from a dead woman. She underwent a double hand transplant, but it failed when her body rejected the tissue.

Now blind, Nash spends most of her days listening to AM radio and books on tape — lately, “War and Peace” — in her modest apartment. She exercises a couple of days a week with a trainer at a gym to build her strength and stay healthy. A GoFundMe account is being set up to help raise money for prosthetic hands, which would not be covered by the Department of Defense.

About every six weeks, Nash undergoes lab tests for the military at Brigham and Women’s.

She is subjected to MRIs and CT scans to determine how well her brain is sending signals to her new face. In addition, doctors examine how well the arteries are delivering blood to the transplant.

“It makes sense for us to look at the civilian community and the experiences that are gained through the involvement of non-uniformed people to assess if this is a good solution for the military,” said Dr. Brian Pfister, a portfolio manager for the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine research program.

About 35 full or partial face transplants have been performed worldwide since the first one was done in France in 2005. The Defense Department estimates 560 soldiers have suffered severe facial wounds in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of those, about 50 or 60 might be candidates for a face transplant, Pfister said.

The Pentagon is providing grants to 14 medical facilities across the U.S. through its hand and face transplantation program. The face and the extremities are the two most frequently injured parts of the body in war.

The new experiment, involving the suspension of anti-rejection drugs, will

eventually include other patients, and its findings could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of people, military and civilian alike, doctors said.

The immunosuppression drugs that transplant patients are typically given for the rest of their lives carry such risks as cancer, viral infections and kidney damage. Because of those dangers, many transplants of non-vital body parts, such as thumbs, are not considered worth doing.

But that could change if the drugs don’t have to be a lifelong commitment.

“Suddenly, it’s not as crazy to think about transplanting individual fingers or an ear,” said Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, who led Nash’s transplant surgery team.

Nash will be switched to Interleukin-2, which is normally used to treat skin and kidney cancers. The hope is that it will promote growth of good cells that protect the transplant while attacking those that want to reject it.

Pomahac said Nash is doing “remarkably well” and has experienced very few rejection episodes, making her a good candidate for the experiment.

“I think there’s an overarching purpose in her life. She really wants to help in whatever way she can,” he said.

“She’s very much a forwardlooking woman.”

Investigators on Tuesday recovered all 10 bodies from a remote site where helicopters serving a reality TV show collided, killing prominent French athletes. The helicopters crashed Monday near Villa Castelli, about 730 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. All aboard — eight French nationals and two Argentine pilots — were killed. Among the dead were Olympic champion swimmer Camille Muffat, Olympic boxer and bronzemedalist Alexis Vastine, and pioneering sailor Florence Arthaud.

Iraq: Strategic town seized Iraqi soldiers and Shiite militiamen captured a town Tuesday on the outskirts of the Islamic State-held city of Tikrit, sealing off Saddam Hussein’s hometown in preparation to confront the extremists in one of their biggest strongholds, officials said. Seizing Alam puts the offensive on course to attempt to liberate Tikrit in the coming days.

The operation likely will set the stage for how Iraq attempts to retake the moredensely populated cities of Mosul and Fallujah from the militants.

Russia: Top honors to two linked to notorious murders Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday gave two of the country’s highest awards to men who have been center stage in its most prominent murder cases: the shooting death of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov and the 2006 radioactive poisoning in London of a former Russian spy. The recipients were the Chechen authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov and Andrei Lugovoi, who is wanted in the United Kingdom on accusations of using polonium to poison Alexander Litvinenko, a onetime Russian spy who became a journalist critical of Putin. It was Putin who handed out the medals Monday: his spokesman noted that such ceremonies are months in the making, so the timing so soon after the Nemtsov murder is purely coincidental.

Seattle minimum wage law attacked Franchises are challenging the schedule of wage increases, saying it discriminates against them.

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — A federal judge is considering whether he should block part of Seattle’s new minimum wage law before it takes effect next month, on the grounds that it discriminates against franchises that are part of large national chains.

The law, which raises the city’s minimum wage $15 an hour, is phased in more quickly for big companies than small ones.

Among those determined to be big companies as part of the law

are franchises — from fast-food joints to hotel chains — that are connected to networks that in all have more than 500 workers.

Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general who is representing the International Franchise Association, told Judge Richard A. Jones during arguments Tuesday that’s unfair to the franchises. They’re essentially small businesses, he said, but by 2017 they’ll have to pay their workers a minimum wage $4 higher than their purely local competitors.

That punishes those companies for their involvement in

interstate commerce, he said — a violation of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause, which reserves the regulation of interstate commerce to the federal government. “‘Buy Local’ as a city policy is 100 percent prohibited by the Commerce Clause,” he said.

Assistant city attorney Greg Narver responded that the law’s intent was simply to raise the pay of Seattle’s low-wage workers, and that the City Council wanted to draw the line somewhere as far as which businesses could afford to pay the higher wage when. Because franchises receive benefits from their association with their chains — pervasive national marketing,

business plans, training and product development — it was perfectly reasonable for the city to treat them differently, he said.

“It’s part of the decision making: Who’s big and who’s small,” Narver said. “It’s not the role of the courts to second-guess the legislative judgments.”

Seattle’s law gives businesses with more than 500 employees nationally at least three years to phase in the increase — four if they provide health insurance.

Smaller employers got seven years.

On April 1, the large businesses and national chains must raise their pay to at least $11; smaller See WAGE, Page A10

Earlier at the White House, Obama signed a presidential memorandum with policy tweaks that don’t require new legislation from Congress. The memo targets third parties like Navient — formerly Sallie Mae — that contract with the government to collect on loans. Those companies will be required to better inform borrowers about repayment options and notify them when they are delinquent, the White House said.

Apple CEO Tim Cook took a figurative victory lap at his company’s annual shareholder meeting, one day after he announced details about Apple’s new smartwatch.

Apple shares are up 65 percent from a year ago, the company reached a market value of $700 million and will soon bump AT&T to join the benchmark Dow 30 index. Apple had an “unbelievable” year in 2014, Cook told shareholders, citing the sale of 200 million iPhones and total revenue of $200 billion.

graduates, people recently laid off and others seeking work.

The rising number of quits has begun to affect many larger corporations. Frank Friedman, interim CEO at the consulting and auditing firm Deloitte, says his firm’s clients, which include about 80 percent of the Fortune 500, are increasingly struggling to retain employees.

“The biggest problem for many businesses is talent retention,” Friedman said. “Wages are a critical component of it. The balance of power has changed in favor of the employee.”

Deloitte itself faces the same challenges. It’s stepping up its hiring, in part because more of its employees have left for

other jobs.

The firm plans to add 24,000 people this year, including paid internships, to its staff of 72,000.

That’s up from the past several years, when Deloitte typically hired 19,000 to 21,000 people, and the increase is largely to make up for more quits.

The same trend is squeezing the restaurant and hotel industries. Nearly half their workers quit last year, up from about one-third in 2010. And average hourly earnings for restaurant employees rose 3.4 percent in January compared with 12 months earlier, before adjusting for inflation. That’s much better than the national average of 2.2 percent, which was barely

above inflation.

About one-third of U.S. retail workers quit last year, up from one-quarter in 2010. And pay rose 3.2 percent in January from the previous year.

Individual retailers, including Wal-Mart, the Gap, and TJX Cos., which owns T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, have announced pay raises in recent weeks Not surprisingly, quit rates are much lower in higher-paying industries. Just 12 percent of manufacturing workers and 14.8 percent of financial services employees left work last year. The quit rate in government was just 7.7 percent.

Health insurance aid in doubt for 8 million

‘Unbelievable’ year for Apple, says Cook

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Quitting your job — all but unheard of during and after the Great Recession —is becoming more common again. That could mean pay raises are coming for more Americans.

The trend has already emerged in the restaurant and retail industries, where quits and pay are rising faster than in the overall economy. Workers in those industries appear to be taking advantage of rising consumer demand to seek better pay elsewhere.

Workers who quit typically do so to take higher-paying jobs.

That’s why rising numbers of quits typically signal confidence in the economy and the job market. As the trend takes hold, employers are often forced to offer higher pay to hold on to their staffers or attract new ones.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that the number of people who quit jobs rose 3 percent from December to January to 2.8 million — the most in more than six years. Quits have jumped 17 percent over the past 12 months.

Since the Great Recession ended, the figure has soared. Just 1.6 million people quit their jobs in August 2009, two months after the recession officially ended.

That was the fewest for any month in the 14 years that the figures have been tracked.

Quits tend to open up more jobs for the unemployed. One barrier for the jobless in a weak economy is that few workers risk quitting their jobs to take a different one, in part because new hires are often most likely to be laid off.

So most workers stay put, leaving fewer options for college

health insurance marketplaces, or exchanges. The justices heard arguments last week, and the court’s decision is expected in late June.

Tuesday’s report from the Department of Health and Human Services shows that about 7.7 million people in the 37 states with federally run markets are getting an average of $263 a month to help pay premiums.

That works out to around $2 billion a month, although it may drop over the year as the number of people insured fluctuates.

The biggest potential loser would be Florida, with nearly 1.5 million residents getting an

average of $294 a month. That works to $440 million a month currently, or up to $5.2 billion a year for the state. The subsidies are delivered in the form of tax credits.

Texas also could face significant exposure. More than 1 million residents are getting an average subsidy of $239 a month.

That works out to nearly $3 billion a year.

The figures “tell a story of health coverage consumers rely on for financial and health security, and of coverage they don’t want to lose,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell.

U.S. stocks fell sharply Tuesday, wiping out this year's gains for the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Investors are nervous about the likelihood of the first increase in U.S. interest rates in nine years and a plunge in the value of the euro as the dollar appreciates.

was much smoother. Also, fines are going up for people who are uninsured in 2015 and can otherwise afford coverage.

Other findings from AP’s analysis: ■ After subsidies, the average premium for consumers in states with federally run markets rose by $19 a month, or 23 percent from 2014. Officials said that may reflect people who picked higher quality coverage, and to a lesser degree, the impact of higher premiums for tobacco users.

■ Consumers in Alaska received the highest average subsidy, $534 a month.

■ After subsidies, Mississippi residents paid the lowest average premium, $52 a month. Insurance premiums vary by state.

The health care law offers subsidized private insurance for people who don’t have access to it on the job, plus expanded Medicaid aimed at lowincome adults in states that agree to broaden the safety-net program.

National surveys have found that the number of uninsured adults

declined by more than 10 million since the coverage launch. And updated estimates from the Congressional Budget Office this week show that the cost of the program is expected to be about 11 percent less over the next decade than previously projected.

Nonetheless, Republicans remain committed to repealing what they call “Obamacare.”

The Supreme Court case focuses on the literal

wording of the complex law.

Opponents say it only allows subsidies in states that set up their own insurance exchanges.

Only 13 states and Washington, DC, are running their own online insurance markets.

The administration says that, when read in context, the law allows subsidies in all 50 states regardless of whether the federal HealthCare.gov is in charge of sign-ups.

It’s that time of year!

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said that data from payroll processor ADP showed that workers who switched jobs in the final three months of 2014 received average pay increases of nearly 14 percent compared with their previous jobs. For those who remained in the same job for a year, pay rose an average 3.2 percent, before adjusting for inflation.

state. But Clement argued that it is discriminatory in its effect, because 96 percent of the franchises that would be subject to the quicker $15-an-hour phase-in are part of national chains.

He also pointed to emails from Nick Hanauer, a prominent Seattle entrepreneur who served on an advisory committee looking at the minimum wage proposal, as evidence of the city’s intent to discriminate against interstate franchises. Hanauer referred to “extractive national chains” as “civically corrosive,” and suggested they should be considered large

businesses for purposes of the law.

The judge was dismissive. He noted that Hanauer was just one of 24 members of the committee and that there was no evidence that the city adopted his views about big chains. He also grilled Clement about whether the city’s intent would even matter in the absence of a discriminatory effect, asking whether he had case law to support his position or whether it was just so much “creative spin.”

Jones said he would do his best to rule by next Tuesday, given the changes looming April 1.

(Moody’s and ADP work together to compile measures of hiring and wages.)

For the economy as a whole, significant pay gains remain rare. Average hourly earnings rose just 2 percent in February from 12 months earlier, about the same weak pace of the past five years. Many economists expect those gains to pick up by year’s end as the U.S. unemployment rate, now 5.5 percent, falls further.

Some other data in Labor’s release Tuesday: ■ The number of open jobs rose 2.5 percent in January to nearly 5 million, the

most in 14 years. That’s a sign that the robust hiring of the past 12 months should continue.

■ Total hiring actually slowed in January, to fewer than 5 million, after reaching 5.2 million, a seven-year high, in December. Those figures reflect everyone hired in that month. By contrast, the job gains in the government’s monthly employment reports are a net figure: Jobs gained minus jobs lost.

■ There were, on average, just 1.8 unemployed people for every open job in January.

Work first, then we’ll talk pay fund education as mandated by the state constitution. The Supreme Court suspended any potential penalties until after the current legislative session to give lawmakers an opportunity to show sufficient progress.

Likewise, the salary commission isn’t expected to make a final vote on its plan until its May 13 meeting, well after the Legislature’s regular session is scheduled to wrap up April 26.

That does make the assumption, perhaps optimistic, that it can finish by late April.

Any decision on a pay increase for legislators — and let’s include the governor in this, too, as he stands to see his salary increased from $166,891 to $173,617 — ought to be heavily weighted on the Legislature’s performance in the current session, not just regarding education

funding, but also on passage of a transportation package and other responsibilities, such as setting salaries for state employees and restoring cost-of-living adjustments for teachers that have been denied for six straight years.

One argument for higher pay for legislators is that it encourages a Legislature with a better representation of the state’s population rather than one of upper-income earners who can afford to vacate their jobs during the session.

Washington’s lawmakers are neither on the high end or low end of the compensation scale for state lawmakers.

New Hampshire only pays its legislators $200 for a two-year term, while California pays $90,526 a year and a $141-aday per diem for expenses.

Oregon’s lawmakers are paid $22,596 a year with a $129 per

diem; Idaho, $16,438 with a $122 per diem; and Alaska $50,400 with a $234 per diem.

Washington’s House and Senate each approved their own per diem increases to $120 from the previous $30 level last year, which might as well be counted as a pay raise.

More than a few legislators probably wish the salary commission had waited until later this year to discuss their pay. But, assuming the panel waits on its decision until after the session, now is actually the perfect time to consider it because it allows a clear line to be drawn between job performance and compensation.

Neither carrot nor stick should be required to motivate action and deal-making from our lawmakers, but those are the tools now at hand. We can hope to keep the pitchforks and torches stowed away.

slower!”) and, more nefariously, theft and destruction of campaign signs. All to save a few of their jobs. One FD1 commissioner reportedly said at a meeting: “We run this fire district for the benefit of the fire fighters.” I believe him.

Over the intervening years my neighbors and I have had to pay thousands more in taxes compared to folks living just blocks away. And what did we get? Less police service, less responsive county government and a fire district that apparently can’t balance a budget.

So you’ll excuse me if I have a bit of skepticism.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■REFORM BILLS

Silly citizens, liberty is for rich At 71, time has shown me the error of my ways. The things I’ve filled my pretty little head with now make me blush like a new bride at my foolishness. All those wasted years I bought into that government of the people, by the people, for the people thing ... what a fool.

Why couldn’t I see that an oligarchy, put in place by plutocrats, is the only solution to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for those who realize that scum like us are unfit to polish the hubcaps on their Maseraties.

Well, now there is an effort to in Olympia to stifle the fact that the very wealthy just know more than commoners. Can’t they see that money equals brains and good sense? Do you want a government that isn’t bought and paid for by those who hide their identity because of their innate modesty? No you don’t, so it’s urgent that you take action now. Don’t be forced to take part in legislation that affects you. That’s not our job!

Contact your senator and representatives right now.

Tell them to protect the wealthy and to oppose HJM 4004 and SJM 8002. If these measures pass, you might some day be forced to vote for an honest politician. Oh, the humanity.

■■FIRE DISTRICT 1

No data on plan for benefit charge Fire District 1 in Snohomish County recently proposed establishing a “fire benefit charge,” because administrators say property tax fluctuations make it difficult for the district to budget.

(Feb. 10 article, “Fire District 1 to float ‘benefit charge.’ ”) How much is it going to cost me? There are no financial comparisons on the district’s site. Is the district afraid to post those numbers?

Am I supposed to make a decision without that data? I have yet to receive a response to these questions from the fire chief.

I ask these questions because those of us in unincorporated areas already pay far more for fire services than homeowners in nearby incorporated areas. For instance, I researched tax data and found a house about a mile from mine that is valued almost $40,000 more, but is within

Why does FD1 need this special taxing dispensation when it’s already funded at a higher rate than other local departments? Is FD1 spending our money wisely? I have asked the chief these questions as well. No response.

I am not anti-tax. I believe in supporting our government functions. But FD1 does not get the benefit of the doubt from me.

■■WHALE HUNT

Makah tradition needs new focus Since the Makahs don’t need whale meat for subsistence, why should they be given permission to hunt even one Pacific gray whale when these protected marine mammals are already coping with threats to their long-term survival?

Ocean acidification is affecting many forms of sea life, possibly even the bottom-dwelling amphipods on which they feed. Industrial development in some of their breeding areas in Mexico is also a threat.

A robust number of individual whales at a given time when they are surveyed may be due to a temporary abundance of food in a particular area or other favorable conditions but is no guarantee those numbers won’t decline at a later date.

The Makah need to focus on evolving the role of whales in their tribal culture that is in tune with today’s world rather than the past. Honoring whales through arts and

IN OUR VIEW | Pay raise for state legislators

If the state Supreme Court’s contempt of court ruling against the Legislature is the stick, then a state commission’s plan to give lawmakers and other state officials a raise must be the carrot. And a juicy one at that.

The state’s independent Citizens Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials, established by the Legislature in 1986 to set salaries for elected officials, proposes increasing lawmakers’ pay from $42,106 to $46,839 by 2016, more than an 11 percent boost, Vancouver’s Columbian newspaper reported Monday.

The proposal comes at the same time that the Legislature is operating under the state high court’s threat of sanctions after it found lawmakers in contempt of court last year for dragging their feet in meeting the state’s obligation to fully

■■GRIZZLY BEARS

Release them first in Olympia Regarding the Feb. 26 front page article, “Bringing back grizzly bears”: It sounds like a good idea, except for the areas of relocation. Instead of the Whitehorse/Pilchuck mountain region, why not the outskirts of Olympia, so the proponents of the idea, such as spokeswoman Ms. Ann Froschauer, and her U.S. Fish and Wildlife crews, can see firsthand the interactions between Ursus Horribilis (grizzly bear) and people. Although omnivorous, it would take a lot of small fish, berries and bugs to fill the void of a 500-pound grizzly’s stomach. So, of course, red meat is on the menu. Let’s see, deer, farm livestock and then (there are plenty of farm between Granite Falls and Darrington), and don’t forget hikers, campers and slow old dogs.

I have had several interactions with black bears in the woods, and for the most part, they are easily spooked and run away. The grizzly bear is a large, ultra-strong animal, at the top of the food chain, and they know it.

I have a camping lot at the base of Whitehorse Mountain, on Squire Creek, that me, my kids and grandchildren use many times a year and we love it. But frankly, I would be very uneasy with the possibility of a chance encounter with the top of the food chain.

Try Olympia first, and see how that works.

Paid sick leave helps workers and businesses

I

’ll spare you the details — since you’ve likely been through a similarly undignified experience — but a bout of intestinal flu isn’t pretty. Hopefully you were able to do what I did: take a few days off work to get well. I could do that without losing part of my paycheck, JOHN BURBANK because the organization for which I work ensures people can earn paid sick days on the job.

Even if it weren’t my organization’s practice, Seattle has a paid sick days ordinance that guarantees workers that right. But in Everett, Arlington, Mountlake Terrace or Edmonds, my story might be different. In fact, it is a different story for more than one million workers in Washington state who are not allowed to earn paid sick days on the job.

Staying home when you’re sick helps you get well and keeps others from getting sick. As an employer, I know that our entire staff, healthy and unhealthy, benefit from paid sick days. If you work in a restaurant, your employer certainly shouldn’t want you serving food. Indeed, state law prohibits food service workers from working around unpackaged food if they have flu symptoms. But there is no law requiring employers to ensure workers have paid sick days — or any other kind of leave or vacation, for that matter. And there’s nothing to prevent an employer from firing someone for missing a day of work if they are sick.

So if you’re a sick food-service worker, you can either ignore a law and keep your job, or stay home from work — losing not only part of your paycheck, but maybe your job. If you’re a parent caring for a sick child — or your own aging parent — you face the same choice. Give the person you love the TLC they need to start getting better, or leave them home alone or at school, and keep your job.

That’s why we need House Bill 1356, which recently passed the state House on a party-line vote (all Democrats voting for, all the Republicans voting against). This bill provides five days of paid sick days for workers. You’d hardly call it generous — just one bout of the flu and most of that time is gone — but still a significant improvement over no sick time at all.

We all say that employers should treat workers and their children with respect and care. If we don’t think that is a value, then we don’t need this law. Opponents of a law for paid sick days always like to say that employers look after their employees and “work things out” to handle circumstances such as having a sick kid. ... or being sick yourself. That only means that these good employers should have no objection to a state law for paid sick days.

For the over one million workers who work for employers that don’t allow them to earn paid sick days, we have to pass a law.

Laws for paid sick days help both workers and their employers. We know this because 21 cities and states have paid sick days laws in effect. Gabriel Block, CEO of California-based Crossroads Trading Co., said implementing paid sick leave for its Seattle location was not hard, and didn’t require raising costs. In Connecticut, which has a statewide paid sick days law, a survey of business owners found three-quarters supported the law, a large majority experienced no or small increased cost, and that benefits included less spread of disease in the workplace and higher morale.

San Francisco’s job market has been better than its surrounding counties and the state of California as a whole since the San Francisco’s paid sick days law went into effect in 2007. The Washington, D.C. city auditor found that its 2008 sick leave law “neither discouraged business owners from locating in the district nor encouraged business owners to move their businesses from the district.”

The Connecticut Department of Labor reported that employment in the leisure and hospitality sectors covered by its state law rose after implementation of paid sick days.

By every standard — respecting workers, supporting strong families, promoting public health and building a stronger economy — paid sick days is a winner. The next stop for HB 1356 is the Senate, where we’ll see whether legislators will vote with those public values in mind. … or not.

Aid: Hard to determine who has been directly impacted those initial cash handouts and later support.

“Those initial funds are in the immediate emergency response,” Koch said.

“Then what you’re looking at is the next step, which is to work with case managers,” she said.

Those case managers form the front line of the Long Term Recovery Group, which consists of representatives from the Red Cross, United Way, the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation, local churches and family services groups like North Counties and the Arlington Family Resource Project.

The case managers are those people who interact with the clients directly.

“If there’s an unmet need, they bring it to the table,” Koch said.

“Those who can cover it, pick it up and cover it.”

In other words, someone might receive a larger amount of money down the road that originated with the Red Cross, but the recipient might not know who the source was, she said.

Another issue with relief funds has been transparency, with United Way and Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation taking a different approach from the Red Cross.

The United Way has published a running tally on its website, uwsc.org/recoveryfund. php, since shortly after the mudslide nearly one year ago and has made the commitment that 100

Darrington and the SaukSuiattle Reservation, cut off for more than two days, got service back the night of March 24. Oso and Lake Cavanaugh lost it temporarily the day of the slide, but came back online hours later.

Frontier crews also took an inventory of lines heading west from Oso toward Stanwood, Baldwin said. After the mudslide, officials worried the Stillaguamish River would flood, pushing destruction downstream. Workers sandbagged around the office in Stanwood just in case.

Frontier employees came to a community meeting 48 hours after the slide, Rankin recalled.

They announced that phone and Internet service had been restored.

“The whole crowd roared,” he said.

Before the new temporary lines were placed, Frontier set up satellite and Internet service

“What happened when the mudslide went through is it just snapped the lines in half,” Baldwin said. “We had crews go from both ends pulling wires through the blackberry bushes and in the ravines. The fastest possible way was to pull it out and tie it to a tree or tie it to a blackberry bush or put a stake in the ground and tie them there.”

Workers were barred from the area on day 2, the Sunday after the slide, but they were in with their equipment on day 3. Teams used the Seattle City Light access road to lay the temporary lines. It was wet and treacherous, Baldwin said. It took about five hours for 15 people to lay lines while others worked from either end — some in Darrington and some in Oso — to get the severed system

Passing cars pick up some pot bales tossed from fleeing SUV Associated Press CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — An Arizona sheriff’s department says some of the marijuana bales that suspects tossed out of an SUV during a high-speed chase last week got picked up by passing vehicles.

Dash-cam video released by the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office shows many of the 21 bales of pot inside the SUV flying out a window and onto roadways during the March 4 chase. Several of the bales broke apart as they bounced on the pavement.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jim Knupp said Tuesday that 17 bales totaling 374 pounds of marijuana were recovered, and four or five vehicles were seen stopping to pick up the rest.

The chase spanned

Furniture Shoppe

Interstates 8 and 10 near Casa Grande in south-central Arizona and several local roads. It ended when the SUV pulled off a two-lane road and stopped after driving over tire-puncturing sticks.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of marijuana trafficking offenses and fleeing police.

The Sheriff’s Office said the pursuit resulted from information gathered as a result of another chase in which a pickup truck was stopped earlier the same day. That stop led to the detention of nine people who were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol, the office said.

Citing the need to keep investigative procedures secret, Knupp declined to how the information from the first chase led to the second.

for the pharmacy and clinic in Darrington. Workers established public access point for wireless Internet at the Darrington Community Center, North County Family Services, Oso Fire Station and Oso Community Chapel.

They also provided Internet and internal communication systems for the Darrington Fire Station, the U.S. Forest Service’s Darrington Ranger District and the Sauk-Suiattle Tribal Center.

The company did not charge for those services, Baldwin said.

Frontier is the only land-based phone service in the area, Baldwin said. Wireless providers also stepped in after the mudslide to set up communication centers, including one at the Darrington fairgrounds.

“There were no lines that said this is AT&T or Verizon or Frontier,” Baldwin said. “Communications were needed up there, and everybody pitched in to make it happen.”

■ $959,000 to “Physical and Mental Health Services” (including medical care and equipment).

■ $542,000 to “Emergency Food, Shelter and Relief Items” (emergency shelters and meals, cleaning supplies, shovels and hygiene kits).

The United Way and Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation have each allocated their remaining money. The United Way has $645,000 left, which will be dispersed entirely through North Counties Family Services in Darrington.

The hospital foundation has $562,000 left, which is dedicated entirely to housing needs and administered through the Community Resources Foundation, which operated the Arlington Family Resource Project until it was shut down, said foundation board member Heather Logan.

The foundation focused on housing, starting in October, when it became apparent that finding permanent housing remains one of the largest problems still out there.

Since then 17 families have accessed the fund to offset the loss of their primary home, for mortgages, rent payments, even a $30,000 down payment on a new house in Idaho, Logan said.

“We weren’t making value judgments on how the house disappeared, just that it did,” Logan said.

‘affected’ and ‘impacted’ in much broader terms,” she said.

“It’s really difficult to say one person has been directly impacted and one person has not,” she added.

She points to Darrington High School as an example of how lines get blurred.

“If you talk to a school principal or a teacher, they will tell you that every single child in that school has been directly impacted,” Koch added. “If they didn’t lose someone, they know someone who has lost someone.”

The Red Cross instead breaks down the $3.7 million it has distributed into four general categories.

The largest of the four, “Disaster Preparedness and Community Rebuilding,” amounts to $1.2 million of that total and includes such activities as community training, distributing more than 1,000 smoke alarms to area residences and 72-hour emergency packs that include items like flashlights, weather alert radios, blankets, ponchos, first aid kits, food bars, duct tape and other essentials.

That category also is the one that has grown the fastest in the past six months, since the last update. In September the Red Cross reported having spent $445,000 for disaster preparedness.

The Red Cross also distributed: ■ $1 million toward “Individual Recovery Planning and Assistance” (including recovery plans,

“Let’s get better at how we react to disasters,” she said.

Julie and Cory Kuntz’s home was destroyed by the mudslide while they were attending their son’s baseball game that morning. After an initial meeting with the Red Cross, they were given a debit card with $390 — a $130-per-person clothing and shoe allowance each for Cory, Julie and their 16-year-old son.

The family went shopping for basic supplies to last three days — clothes, shoes, boots, coats, toiletries and medications. It cost about $800 total, Julie Kuntz said.

When Kuntz followed up with the Red Cross later to get a gas card, she was told they’d all been given out. She eventually got a $150 gas card after another local business owner interceded on their behalf.

In contrast, two weeks after the slide, they received $5,000 from North Counties Family Services in Darrington, which came from the United Way of Snohomish County, Kuntz said. They later received another $5,000 from the group.

Local sources like churches, businesses, friends, neighbors and even strangers in the community also gave them thousands of dollars in those first few weeks.

Red Cross public information officer Jacqueline Koch said there’s a distinction between

percent of individual donations would be passed directly to those individuals and families affected, with no additional overhead cost, CEO Dennis Smith said.

Corporate donations through United Way-funded infrastructure projects and community groups, such as helping local governments, offset the cost of extended emergency operations.

Of the $3.3 million the United Way and the foundation have distributed, individuals and families received $1.6 million, 88 percent of which went to those directly affected by the slide and flooding.

“Directly affected” has a very specific meaning, Smith said: “those folks that either lost a loved one or lost their homes or property within the bounds of the event.”

The remaining 12 percent went to those families and individuals more indirectly affected, such as those stuck behind the blocked highway with a two-hour commute to work.

That’s not a distinction the Red Cross makes, Koch said.

Koch was unable to say how much of the money the Red Cross dispersed got into the hands of those who lost family members or their homes, versus those who were affected less by the slide and the flooding.

“We opened up about 675 client cases in the immediate aftermath of the slide,” Koch said.

“It’s hard to say how many were affected directly. We’re looking at

Public Notice and Opportunity to Comment On Proposed Substantial Amendment to the Snohomish County Housing and Community Development 2014 Annual Action Plan Snohomish County (County), as lead agency of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium (Consortium), seeks public review and comment on one proposed substantial amendment to the Consortium’s 2014 Annual Action Plan to identify a site in Marysville for an affordable housing project.

The Annual Action Plan describes how certain grant funds will be used during the year to help meet the five-year goals set forth in the Consortium’s 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. The sources of grant funds include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. The Annual Action Plan includes funding allocations to specific activities.

The funds are used to provide support for affordable housing projects and community development projects (public facility improvements, infrastructure improvements, and public services) which principally benefit low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods within the county.

A substantial amendment to an Annual Action Plan is sometimes needed after the plan has been adopted. On such occasions, the County publishes notice of the proposed substantial amendment and provides the public with at least 30 days to comment. This notice serves this requirement for the proposed substantial amendment summarized below.

Foundation for the Challenged - FCC Homes VIII Project: Identification of Project Site in Everett The 2014 Action Plan includes an award of $115,236 in CDBG funds for the Foundation for the Challenged - FCC Homes VIII project, including $111,000 to Foundation for the Challenged for project costs and $4,236 for Snohomish County project-related activity delivery costs.

The project consists of the acquisition and adaptive rehabilitation of two single family homes with three bedrooms each to provide p e r m a n e n t s u p p o r t i ve r e n t a l h o u s i n g fo r s i x a d u l t s w i t h developmental disabilities with extremely low-incomes at or below 30% of the area median income. On-site 24/7 supportive services are anticipated to be provided by other non-profit organizations contracted by the Developmental Disabilities Administration.

At the time the 2014 Action Plan was adopted in May 2014, specific sites for the project had not been identified. A Marysville site for the first home was recently approved via amendment. A proposed site for the second home has now been identified and is located at 710 - 106th PL SW, Everett, WA 98204. This amendment would revise the project description to add this second location and would allow the project to move forward with acquisition of the property in May and completion of the site by December 2015.

Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County Sultan ECEAP Preschool Project: Change in Use of Funds to Construction of Sultan Boys & Girls Club Gym The 2010 Action Plan, as amended, includes a $349,873.67 CDBG award to the Boys & Girls Club for the Sultan Boys & Girls Club facility, including $340,865 in project costs and $9,008.67 in Snohomish County project-related activity delivery costs.

The award was originally for the rehabilitation of the existing Sultan Club. However, before the award was under contract with the County, the club buildings caught fire and were destroyed, and the award was amended so that the funds could be used to help build a new Sultan Club on a different site. The proposed scope of work for the new club consisted of the construction of an 18,000 square-foot building including a gym, game rooms, computer lab, teen center, and a kitchen/multi-purpose room.

The Boys & Girls Club entered into a long-term lease with the Volunteers of America of Western Washington (Volunteers of America) to allow the new Sultan Club building to be built on its property in Sultan. The new building requires the demolition of an existing building that housed the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) and the construction of a new preschool within the new Sultan Club building.

The 2014 Action Plan, as amended, includes a $214,114 CDBG award to the Boys & Girls Club to pay for the ECEAP preschool portion of the new building’s construction costs, including $203,299 in project costs, and $10,815 for Snohomish County project-related activity delivery costs.

The project was published for bids, but costs came in too high.

The scope of work for this project was reduced by removing the gym, with the intent of completing it when the Boys & Girls Club could secure additional funds.

The Boys & Girls Club is requesting to change the use of its 2014 CDBG award from construction of the new ECEAP preschool to construction of the new Sultan Club gym, as it is able to complete construction of the preschool with other funds. The new Sultan Club, including the ECEAP preschool, is currently under construction and is estimated to be completed by March 30, 2015.

The total development cost of the gym is estimated to be $1,250,000 and construction is expected to be completed by April 2016.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY COUNCIL SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON NOTICE OF ENACTMENT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 the Snohomish County Council enacted Ordinance No. 15006, adopting the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program as a p a r t o f S n o h o m i s h C o u n t y ’s G r o w t h M a n a g e m e n t A c t Comprehensive Plan.

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

The following is a summary of the proposed ordinance: ORDINANCE NO. 15-006 ADOPTING THE 2015-2020 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS A PART OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY’S GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Section 1. States that the county council adopts foregoing recitals as findings and conclusions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The CIP is a component of the Capital Facilities Plan but is a physically separate document that fulfills the County’s related financial and infrastructure responsibilities required under state and local law. The 2015-2020 CIP, like previous CIPs, divides the County’s capital projects into three broad categories: 1) General Government; 2) Transportation; and 3) Proprietary. Many small or mid-sized projects are consolidated into several program categories under these three broad headings, with funding sources and expenditure levels identified for each category over the next 6 ye a r s. T h e C I P i n c o r p o r a t e s t h e a n n u a l Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Improvement Program and its suppor ting documents for the surface transportation capital construction program by reference.

The CIP also includes a determination of whether probable funding for public facilities that support development will fall short of maintaining minimum level-of-ser vice standards (called the “statement of assessment”). The GMA requires the County to take action if funding is found to be insufficient to ensure that new development will be served by adequate public facilities. Exhibit A also includes Amendments State Environmental Policy Act: To comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) on this proposal, the county, on September 5, 2014, issued Addendum No. 45 to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Snohomish County GMA Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Update. Copies of all applicable SEPA documents are available at the office of the Snohomish County Council.

Where to Get Copies of the Ordinance: Copies of the full text of the ordinance including attachments, are available in the office of the County Council. They may be obtained by calling (425) 388-3494, 1-(800) 562-4367 x3494, TDD (425) 388-3700 or E-mailing to contact.council@snoco.org.

Striving for perfection and putting additional detail into your work will pay off as long as you finish what you start. ���� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take initiative and be the one to instigate anything you want to see happen. Don’t let a difference of opinion ruin your day or spoil an important relationship. Getting along will lead to greater happiness. ���� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stop reworking the same old thing over and over. Make your move and make it count. You need to be creative, not a perfectionist who is never satisfied. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect the unexpected and prepare to deal with whatever comes your way. Hidden secrets may surface that could lead to a situation you have been avoiding. Enjoy life. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone is likely to oppose you no matter what you do. Rely on your knowledge, expertise and practical way of handling situations, and you will come out on top. ���� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let an emotional situation ruin a perfectly good day. Make personal changes that will enhance your outlook as well as update your appearance.

Tips face Winterhawks in pivotal showdown Winner will have leg up in battle for U.S. Division championship

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — It doesn’t get any bigger than this.

Two weeks remaining in the regular season. The Everett Silvertips versus the Portland Winterhawks. First place on the line.

The stakes couldn’t be higher when Everett and Portland face off Wednesday night at Xfinity Arena. The result could ultimately determine which team winds up with the WHL’s U.S. Division championship.

“It’s a big, big game for us,” Everett captain Kohl Bauml said.

“Playing Portland any time of

the year is big, but with the division title kind of hanging in mid-air right now it puts some extra emphasis on it. It’s going to be fun.”

The race for the division title is coming right down to the wire.

Everett has held pole position almost the entire season, but Portland spent the past seven weeks closing the gap. The Winterhawks, winners of the past four Western Conference titles, are 16-1-2-0 over their past 19 games, pulling within four points of the Tips. Portland also has two games in hand with which to narrow the gap even further.

In addition, the schedule favors Portland down the stretch. Following Wednesday’s showdown the Winterhawks have just one of their final seven games against

teams in the top half of the Western Conference, while Everett has four of its last five against top-half teams.

Therefore, the Tips are acutely aware they likely need to win Wednesday’s game in order to hold the Winterhawks off.

“I think every game we’ve played has been the biggest game of the year this last stretch, but this one definitely takes the cake right now,” overage defenseman Ben Betker said. “We have to put our best foot forward.

Seahawks trade for Saints’ Graham Not a no-brainer, but Seahawks get rare touchdownmaker they desire

Seattle sends Max Unger and a 2015 1st-round pick to the Saints for the Pro Bowl TE and a 4th-round pick.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

If we could all have this luck on cold calls.

Saturday was the first day NFL teams could begin negotiating with free agents. Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider was phoning counterparts with other teams, as is his normal routine, to find out what might be available and who may be shedding what for salary-cap purposes.

The New Orleans Saints told him they were interested in exploring a potential trade of Jimmy Graham, their three-time Pro-Bowl and 2013 All-Pro tight end.

Hello!

The Seahawks had just terminated the contract of starting tight end Zach Miller the day before because of a failed physical following two ankle surgeries. They were pursuing Denver’s Julius Thomas, but Jacksonville wanted him more and spent more to woo him there. They were perhaps interested in Cleveland free agent Jordan Cameron, but he’s been sidelined by multiple concussions.

Graham? The matchup nightmare with a basketball-like ability to snare balls out of the air, 171 of them for 26 touchdowns during the last two seasons? Suddenly Seattle’s tight-end shopping shifted from Macy’s to Saks Fifth Avenue.

“This was one of the players that was brought up,” Schneider said. “And we continued to pursue it.”

All the way through the biggest splash of the brand-new league year.

New Orleans agreed to send its superstar tight end plus a fourthround draft choice to Seattle for See GRAHAM, Page C3

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham (80) fights for position against Seattle middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (54) during an NFC divisional playoff game in Seattle on Jan. 11, 2014.

EATTLE — For as long as he has been the coach of the Seattle Seahawks — and likely well before that — Pete Carroll has expressed a desire to acquire one of the rarest players in football: the touchdown-maker.

On Tuesday, in a stunning move, the Seahawks got one of the best, acquiring All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham in a trade with New Orleans, a move that gives Russell Wilson a type of weapon he has yet to throw to in his NFL career.

Yes Marshawn Lynch rushes for plenty of touchdowns, and Wilson is responsible for JOHN BOYLE plenty more, but the type of player Carroll has for so long desired is the mismatch creator. The kind of player who is open even when he’s covered, who a quarterback can throw to in the red zone even when everyone knows that’s where the quarterback is throwing, who — and I apologize if it’s too soon for this — a team can throw to if they don’t want to run the ball on second-and-goal from the 1-yard line at the end of a Super Bowl.

“It’s so rare that you get opportunities to get this kind of a player,” Carroll said of Graham, who has averaged 88.5 catches, 1,099 yards and 11.5 touchdowns per season since 2011.

Of course, adding such a rare difference-maker in a move nobody saw coming doesn’t See BOYLE, Page C5

Zags capture WCC tourney title No. 7 Bulldogs beat BYU 91-75 for third straight WCC tournament title.

By John Marshall Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Gonzaga’s players were like blurs up the floor, whipping passes, filling lanes, dropping in 3-pointers as their fans roared with each highlight.

These Zags are fun to watch — and hard to catch once they get out front.

Kyle Wiltjer had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 7 Gonzaga shot its way past Brigham Young 91-75 Tuesday night for the Zags’ third straight West Coast

Conference tournament title.

“We want to play the fast and can score with the best of them,” said Wiltjer, the tournament MVP. “We wanted to just push the pace and did that.”

Gonzaga (32-2), the regular-season champion, clinched its 14th WCC tournament by putting on an offensive show in an entertaining rematch of last year’s title game.

The nation’s best- shooting team during the regular season, the Bulldogs hit 53 percent inside Orleans Arena and made 8 of 12 from 3-point range.

Kevin Pangos had 16 points and five assists while orchestrating an efficient Gonzaga offense that had 15 assists and six turnovers.

INSIDE: College basketball, C2

Domantas Sabonis and Gary Bell Jr. added 15 points each for the Zags, who are expecting a high seed when the NCAA Tournament selections are announced on Sunday.

“They love each other and just want to keep playing with each other, that’s been the base for this team all year,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “They want to keep winning so they can keep playing with each other.”

BYU (25-9) tried to match the Zags shot for shot behind Kyle Collinsworth, but never quite caught them after Gonzaga went on an early second-half run to build a 12-point lead.

Edmonds CC drops NWAC title game Herald staff KENNEWICK — The Edmonds Community College men’s basketball team went cold in the second half of the Northwest Athletic Conference championship game on Tuesday night, falling 78-59 to Clark College at the Toyota Center.

The Tritons (27-6) were in search of their first NWAC men’s basketball title since 1985, and looked to be on their way to capturing that elusive crown in the first half.

Blake Fernandez scored the first eight points of the game for Edmonds, who led by as many as eight late in the first half after going 7-for-16 from 3-point range against the Penguins’ zone defense.

But the Tritons allowed Clark (27-6) to gain momentum after the Penguins went into the locker room on a 10-0 run, closing the gap to 40-38.

Clark carried that momentum over to the second half as Edmonds unraveled.

The Tritons turned the ball

over on four consecutive possessions midway through the period and when they were able to get shots off, they missed the mark.

Edmonds went 2-for-19 from the field during a 12-minute stretch in the second half, scoring just four points during that span.

All told, the Tritons shot just 6-for-33 (18.2 percent) from the field in the second half, missing all 13 of their 3-point attempts.

They were 17-for-68 (25 percent) from the field in the game.

Fernandez led Edmonds with 14 points and Zach Pederson, a Glacier Peak alum, added 12 points to go along with 11 rebounds.

Darrius Mathis led four Clark scorers in double figures with 18 points.

The Penguins out-rebounded the Tritons 50-39, and Clark won the game despite committing 25 turnovers.

Pederson and Charlie Smith represented the Tritons on the All-Tournament first and second teams, respectively.

‘He’s just blossomed’

Gonzaga From Page C1

Collinsworth finished with 28 points, eight rebounds and five assists after posting a triple-double in the semifinals.

Tyler Haws added 15 points for the Cougars, who have to endure an agonizing wait until Selection Sunday for the second straight season.

“There’s a committee that makes that decision and If they watched us play, I think they’d feel pretty good about putting us in their tournament,” BYU coach Dave Rose said.

The Zags have become a staple in the WCC title game, making their 18th straight appearance, the last 15 under Few Gonzaga won the regular-season title for the 14th time in 15 years and is guaranteed to make its 17th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

BYU was still hovering around the NCAA Tournament bubble, though its 14-point win over Portland in the WCC semifinal finals boosted its bid.

The Cougars were one of two teams to beat Gonzaga during the regular season, ending the Zags’ 41-game home winning streak with a 73-70 victory less than two weeks ago.

Gonzaga shot poorly in the second half of that game — 1 for 8 from 3-point range — and started slow in the title game, missing eight of its first 10 shots.

Once they got going, the Bulldogs seemed to take turns scoring.

Wiltjer, who has been bothered by a sore hip and had tape on his left shoulder, did the early damage, powering his way to the rim and hitting a pair of 3-pointers while scoring 12 first-half points.

Sabonis was next, scoring 11 points by bulling his way inside.

Bell closed out the first half with a mix of 3-pointers and midrange shots, scoring 12 points to help the Zags to a 48-42 lead. “When we’re in attack mode, there’s no doubt what’s when we’re at our best,” Few said.

Gonzaga turned to Przemek Karnowski down low to start the second half. Getting deep post position, the big man scored on three hook shots and Wiltjer added a 3-pointer to help put the Zags up 71-59.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Rock bottom for Shaquielle McKissic was not a single moment or event. It came in a two-year series of gut punches: The death of his best friend, a stint in jail, a threeweek stretch of living in his car.

It was heart-breaking, soul-testing, yet the former Edmonds Community College basketball standout does not wish any of it away. The unfortunate events, the decisions he made all shaped the person he has become, and made all that he has now possible.

“I wouldn’t change a thing,” McKissic said.

“It could have gone a different way, could have spiraled out of control, but it worked out. I just know that if you work hard and do what you’re supposed to do, everything will work out.”

It sure didn’t look that way a few years ago.

McKissic wasn’t a highly recruited player out of Kentridge High School, and was headed to play at Northern Idaho, one of the nation’s top junior-college programs. His plans were derailed by a poor decision.

While out with a group of friends, he was arrested for breaking into homes and spent three months in jail.

Instead of North Idaho, he ended up at Edmonds CC, where he stayed out of trouble and averaged 16.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game as a freshman in the 2009-10 season.

Then his life began to unravel.

His mother was a victim of domestic abuse and left the home, eventually heading back to Indiana with his younger brother. With no money and no family with him, McKissic was forced to drop out of school and spent three weeks living in a car with a friend after being evicted from his apartment.

The crushing blow came at a Halloween party in 2010, when his best friend, Devin Topps, was shot and killed.

“Those two years were rock bottom, not knowing where the next move would come from, not knowing what the future would hold because so much was happening,” McKissic said. “But it was never a why-me situation.”

He returned to Edmonds for the 2012-13 season and averaged 22.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 3.2 steals for the Tritons, who reached the championship game of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges tournament. McKissic was named the NWAACC’s North Region MVP. While most coaches saw red flags around McKissic, Arizona State coach Herb Sendek

Former Edmonds CC standout Shaquielle McKissic about to complete an improbable career at Arizona State

LAS VEGAS — Andrew Andrews played in last year’s Pac-12 tournament, but he wasn’t himself.

Instead, he was awake all night vomiting, stricken with a case of apparent food poisoning approximately 12 hours before the Washington Huskies’ 67-61 loss to Utah.

He was still ill mere hours prior to tipoff, so trainers pumped him full of intravenous fluids, and he wound up playing 24 minutes and scored three points.

It snapped Andrews’ six-game streak of scoring 15 points or more, an end-of-year spike that hinted at the potential for a strong conference tournament.

A year later, and the Huskies face a similar story heading into

Arizona State guard Shaquielle McKissic warms up prior to a game in February.

saw a young man aching for redemption. There were mistakes, bad decisions, sure, but when Sendek met McKissic, he saw good, not red flags.

“He wasn’t a guy who had a lot of stars next to his name in recruiting circles, but was a humble, hungry young man who you thought if you just gave him a chance, he’s going to find a way to get it done — and he has,” Sendek said.

Now a 24-year-old senior at Arizona State, McKissic made the most of his second chance, becoming a leader on and off the court during his two years in the desert.

The athletic 6-foot-5 forward tops Arizona State in scoring at 11.5 points per game and has become the Sun Devils’ go-to player in tight games. He has been a mature, steadying force on an inexperienced team and an example for the other junior-college players on the roster.

McKissic also has excelled in the classroom as well and is set to graduate with a degree in general studies.

“He’s like a different person,” Sendek said.

“He has just blossomed as a young man.”

In an unusual twist, McKissic was honored at the Sun Devils’ Senior Day ceremony last season and again this year.

A year ago, he hoped the NCAA would grant him an extra year of eligibility, but didn’t know if a hardship waiver would be granted. When it was, McKissic made the most of his “second’ senior season.

“It was a wonderful journey and for me it’s just the beginning,” he said. “I feel like it’s a wonderful head start for me in life. To have been down so low to come back and end my career here at ASU is just unbelievable, really.”

the 2015 Pac-12 tournament: They’ve had a disappointing season. Their season may end in Las Vegas if they don’t win the tournament championship. And Andrews is again closing the season in impressive fashion.

So as 11th-seeded UW (16-14, 5-13 in Pac-12) prepares for its firstround matchup against 6th-seeded Stanford (18-12, 9-9), the Huskies know they need Andrews to keep up his recent production to have a chance at extending their season.

Andrews has turned into a vital cog in the Huskies’ stop-and-start offense. Coach Lorenzo Romar repeatedly refers to him as “a rock,” and that’s been especially true during the past 10 games.

In that span, Andrews is averaging 19.0 points per game, shooting 45.6 percent from the field (his full-season field-goal percentage is 39.8).

He scored 16 points on 4-for10 shooting — making 7-of-7 from the free-throw line — in UW’s shocking upset last week of then-13th-ranked Utah. He’s made two game-winners in the final seconds, at Colorado and at Washington State, and scored a career-best 35 points and made a career-high six 3-pointers in that game against WSU. “I think Andrew has just been getting lost in the game. He’s been a rock,” Romar said. “And it’s good to see that. This is his third year of playing college basketball. You can see the experience out there on the floor really showing when he’s out there playing. I think he understands how to impact the game in a positive way, and he’s been shooting the ball extremely well.

He’s just really matured. It’s been really good to see.”

Monster deals sending Jimmy Graham to Seattle and Sam Bradford to Philadelphia stole the spotlight from free agent signings. That is until mid-evening, when Revis Island returned to the Meadowlands.

The Jets dug into their past to bring back the All-Pro cornerback, according to his agents. Revis goes from the Jets’ archrival Patriots, who he helped win the Super Bowl last month, to his NFL roots.

Revis’ deal with the Jets is a whopper.

NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports it’s a fiveyear, $70 million deal with $39 million fully guaranteed New Orleans agreed to send its star tight end Graham to the Seahawks for center Max Unger, with draft picks changing hands.

That stunner was followed by Bradford, the injury-prone quarterback who barely has played the past two years (knee), going to Philadelphia for Nick Foles, who also comes off an injury-shortened season (collarbone). Bradford was the top overall draft pick in 2010.

Foles is the latest starter to depart Philadelphia. He joins two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, now in Buffalo, and Pro Bowl wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, headed for Kansas City, in going elsewhere.

Locker retires, has no ‘burning desire’ to play

By Teresa M. Walker Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Quarterback Jake Locker has retired from football rather than hit free agency after four NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans, saying he no longer has the “burning desire” needed to keep playing the game for a living.

Locker wrote Tuesday in a statement released through his agent, Camron Hahn, that he decided to retire after talking with his family. Locker officially became a free agent when his contract expired Tuesday.

“Football has always played a pivotal role in my life and I love the game, but I no longer have the burning desire necessary to play the game for a living,” Locker, 26, said in the statement. “To continue to do so would be unfair to the next organization with whom I would eventually sign. I realize this decision is surprising to many, but I know in my heart that it is the right decision and I look forward to spending more time with my family and pursuing other interests.”

The Titans drafted Locker with the eighth pick overall out of Washington in 2011, but he was benched last October. He played behind Matt Hasselbeck in his first season, then was named the starter for 2012.

But Locker missed 14 of his first 32 potential starts because of injuries, and the Titans declined to pick up his 2015 option with a new coach in Ken Whisenhunt.

Locker played only seven games with five starts in 2014 because of separate injuries before Whisenhunt benched him for rookie Zach Mettenberger.

Locker played in 30 games in his career, starting 23, and he threw for 4,967 yards with 27 touchdowns and 22 interceptions and a career 57.5 completion percentage. The mobile quarterback also averaged 6.8 yards per carry and ran for 644 yards with five touchdowns.

There were questions about his future going into last season with the second head coach of his career and a third different offensive coordinator. The Titans had drafted Mettenberger in the sixth round and signed veteran Charlie Whitehurst.

Locker said last year at the start of training camp that winning drove him, not money. During his time in Tennessee, the Titans had only one winning record at 9-7 in his rookie season.

“I’ve been fortunate,” Locker said last July.

“My wife and I have been smart with our money, and we have. We’re fine. We don’t have to worry about it. So I get the freedom and the ability to go out and play for this football team and have fun.”

Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan, Tennessee’s top draft pick last season, wrote on Twitter that Locker was one of the most genuine people he had ever met. “He will be successful no matter!” Lewan wrote.

The Eagles traded quarterback Nick Foles (left), a fourth-round draft pick this year and a second-round pick in 2016 to the Rams for quarterback Sam Bradfrod (right) and a fifthround draft pick this year.

Philadelphia also added Seahawks starting cornerback Byron Maxwell as a free agent with a six-year deal.

Baltimore dealt nose tackle Haloti Ngata to Detroit, which is about to lose All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in free agency. Ngata, 31 and a five-time Pro Bowler, is due $8.5 million next season and has a $16 million salary cap figure.

The Bills confirmed acquiring McCoy for linebacker Kiko Alonso; McCoy also signed a contract extension for $40 million over five years.

The Jets also confirmed a previously agreed upon trade, getting receiver Brandon Marshall from Chicago for a fifthround draft pick. The Jets released WR-KR Percy Harvin, whom they acquired last season from Seattle.

Carolina released DeAngelo Williams, its career rushing leader.

Five-time All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis, the heart of San Francisco’s defense for eight seasons, called it quits. The 2007 Defensive Rookie of the Year is leaving because of recurrent toe and feet injuries.

“In my head, I’m already a Hall of Famer,” Willis said. “I am leaving this with closure, saying that I am happy today, more happy today than I was the day I was drafted. That says something to me.”

The 49ers lost another mainstay when running back Frank Gore, their career rushing leader, joined the Colts.

Linebacker A.J. Hawk, who grew up in Ohio and attended Ohio State, agreed to terms with Cincinnati on a two-year deal.

Hawk spent his first nine seasons in Green

Bay. Jacksonville, with lots of salary cap room, grabbed tight end Julius Thomas away from Denver among a slew of moves.

The Jaguars agreed to deals with defensive end Jared Odrick, right tackle Jermey Parnell, cornerback Davon House, linebacker Dan Skuta and safety Sergio Brown.

Thomas agreed on a five-year deal worth $46 million, with $24 million guaranteed.

Arizona got probably the best run blocker in this year’s group, guard Mike Iupati, who agreed on a five-year, $40 million contract with $22.5 million guaranteed. The 6-foot-5, 331-pound lineman played five seasons with San Francisco, is a three-time Pro Bowl player and made the All-Pro team in 2012.

Arizona also re-signed linebacker LaMarr Woodley.

The Falcons fortified the middle of new coach Dan Quinn’s defense by signing free-agent linebackers Brooks Reed and Justin Durant.

Among other official free agency moves early in the process were former Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith, the 2014 Super Bowl MVP with Seattle, who agreed to terms with Oakland; defensive end Kendall Langford to Indianapolis; wide receiver Brian Hartline to Cleveland; safety Tyvon Branch to Kansas City; tight end Owen Daniels to Denver; guard Orlando Franklin to San Diego; cornerback Buster Skrine to the Jets; fullback Jerome Felton to Buffalo; and quarterback Shaun Hill to Minnesota, which also re-signed running back Matt Asiata.

Graham From Page C1

Seahawks’ two-time Pro-Bowl center Max Unger and their first-round pick next month.

The deal came together minutes before the league year began at 1 p.m. Pacific Time Tuesday.

By mid-afternoon, quarterback Russell Wilson had already talked to Graham, plotting offseason workouts together, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

“This is a fantastic job by John to get this lined up. This is so rare to get these opportunities, to get that done,” Carroll said.

“Yeah, it’s a continued message we are competing.

You’ve got to keep moving forward. And it takes big decisions like these to do that.”

The Seahawks also announced the signing of free-agent cornerback Cary Williams from Philadelphia to replace Byron Maxwell, who signed for $25 million guaranteed with the Eagles. Williams gets $18 million for three years in Seattle.

Schneider said the Seahawks valued the 30-yearold Williams, who won the Super Bowl while with Baltimore three seasons ago, for his length and height (6 feet 1) in playing press coverage.

Graham’s arrival gives Seattle one of the most dynamic tight ends around. The Seahawks used four tight ends last season because of injuries.

The 28-year-old Graham, a six-year veteran who is 6 feet 7 and 260 pounds, was on Schneider’s and Seattle’s radar for the 2010 draft before going to New Orleans in the third round that year. He has 85 and 86 catches with 10 and 16 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. Seattle’s four tight ends last season had 48 catches and six touchdowns combined.

“We’ve added a guy who is a big-time difference maker at his position,” Schneider said.

Seattle ranked 20th in redzone scoring of touchdowns last season, at a rate of 51.7 percent.

“I think he has 46 touchdowns since 2011,” Carroll said, accurately. “He’s a big target. He has the basketball background. He has the ability to get off the ground and play high. He’s got a real sense

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jimmy Graham had 85 and 86 catches with 10 and 16 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons.

for finishing plays.

“Just a fantastic talent and a great weapon for us. I’m sure he’ll be a great benefit for our passing game and for the productivity that we want down there. We always want to run the football, but we need those targets. And he brings us an obvious opportunity to get the ball in the end zone.”

The league’s highest-paid tight end signed a four-year, $40 million deal with New Orleans before last season — after he sued the Saints to try to be classified as a wide receiver for purposes of a potential franchise tag that never came to be. He was most often in the slot as an inside wide receiver while not a traditional tight end nearly two-thirds of his snaps in New Orleans recently.

But Carroll said Graham will be a tight end in Seattle, a dynamic one who has improved his blocking recently and is still working on it.

He is scheduled to earn $2.9 million in a guaranteed base salary with a $5 million roster bonus due for the Seahawks to pay Thursday.

His base salary for 2016 is a non-guaranteed $8.9 million.

For 2017 it’s $7.9 million.

As for the homework the Seahawks did before making this deal as compared to the team’s last huge, offseason trade, in 2013 for Percy Harvin from Minnesota that also

sent away Seattle’s first-round draft pick, Schneider said: ”We think we learned from our previous deal with Percy.”

Graham comes at a steep cost befitting his value.

Unger was the foundation of an at-times shaky Seahawks offensive line, its chief communicator who had a strong bond with Wilson.

Unger has two years remaining on his contract he signed before the 2012 season. The Seahawks drafted him in the second round in 2009 out of Oregon. His base salary for this year is $4.5 million.

The deal appears to add $3.5 million to the Seahawks’ 2015 salary cap and leave them with an estimated $15.5 million to spend this year.

That $3.5 million is nearly the amount the Seahawks saved by terminating Miller’s contract Friday. Miller’s cap cost was scheduled to be $3.39 million this year, and Seattle absorbed a $1 million acceleration cost to cut him.

Essentially the Seahawks released Miller plus traded Unger and their 31st-overall draft choice for Graham and New Orleans’ fourth round choice for a total added cap cost of $1.11 million this year.

With the league’s salary cap beginning at $143 million for 2015, that’s almost a wash.

And a coup.

“In some respects it actually helps us,” financially,

Schneider said. “It turns out a first-round draft choice costs close to three and a half million. And to go out and sign a tight end to a big bonus ... would cost more.

“We are on course. We are on budget. We have a lot of goals, a lot to accomplish (yet this offseason).”

Unger’s departure is a signal to how much Seahawks offensive-line coach Tom Cable likes Patrick Lewis at center. Unger’s recent backup of recent years, Lemuel Jeanpierre, is a restricted free agent. Lewis took Jeanpierre’s job and started four games last season when Unger missed 10 games with foot and knee injuries. He drew Cable’s praise for strength and adaptability.

As great as Unger was communicating along the line being the unit’s glue in synchronization with Wilson, he missed 13 games the last two seasons due to injury — yet the Seahawks still were first and fourth in the NFL in rushing those last two seasons largely without him.

“We are going to figure it out as we go,” Carroll said of center. “We hope to let the competition take over. We’ve got depth.

“But we are going to miss Max.” Perhaps not as much as they intend to feature Graham, though.

Extra points As expected, unrestricted freeagent James Carpenter departed, signing with the New York Jets for a reported four years at about $4.75 million per season. So, Seattle is in the market for a new left guard. Miami released Shelley Smith, and the veteran with 11 career starts in four seasons is visiting the Seahawks Wednesday according to ESPN and NBC’s Pro Football Talk. Schneider said Alvin Bailey would be the left guard if Seattle “had to play a game tomorrow” — then noted how early it is in the shopping season. Free agency runs through April 24. The draft begins April 30. ... The Jets released WR Percy Harvin, as expected. So Seattle gets New York’s sixth-round pick next month. It would have been a fourth-rounder if Harvin was still on the Jets’ roster past March 19. “I was really hoping that they’d keep him,” Schneider deadpanned.

Three big Silvertips regular-season games

By Nick Patterson Herald writer

Wednesday’s showdown between the Everett Silvertips and Portland Winterhawks at Xfinity Arena may ultimately determine which team wins the WHL’s U.S. Division championship. Here are three other decisive late-season headto-head games Everett has played in the past:

March 13, 2004, Everett at Tri-City

First Period—1, Los Angeles, Gaborik 20 (Brown, McNabb), 7:47 (pp). 2, Los Angeles, Carter 23 (Nolan, Lewis), 11:58. 3, Colorado, Barrie 11 (Landeskog, O’Reilly), 12:53. 4, Los Angeles, McNabb 2 (Clifford, Williams), 14:15.

Second Period—5, Los Angeles, Clifford 5 (Kopitar, McNabb), 15:03.

Third Period—6, Colorado, Tanguay 18 (Cliche, Everberg), 8:27. 7, Los Angeles, Muzzin 7 (Shore, Williams), 9:56.

Shots on Goal—Los Angeles 12-13-5—30.

Colorado 5-8-10—23.

Goalies—Los Angeles, Quick. Colorado, Pickard, Berra. A—15,724 (18,007). T—2:25.

Three teams — Everett, Tri-City and Portland — entered the final weekend of the regular season with a chance to claim the division title. The Tips had a two-point lead on Tri-City when the teams met in Kennewick on the secondto-last day of the regular season. Mark Kress scored the first of his two goals less than a minute into the game, then scored his second to break a 1-1 tie with less than a minute remaining in the second period. Everett made that lead hold up to win 2-1, with Jeff Harvey earning the win in goal with 19 saves. The victory clinched the division title for the Tips for yet another milestone in Everett’s record-breaking inaugural season.

Tips

March 17, 2012, Everett at Seattle It was essentially a winner-takes-all game. Everett and Seattle entered the final Saturday of the regular season tied for the Western Conference’s last playoff spot. The game was Everett’s last of the season, while Seattle had a game at Portland the following day, so the Tips needed to win to keep their season alive, and even a win meant the Tips would have to wait for Sunday’s result to know if a one-game playoff was required. Everett fell behind four times in the game, but all four times the Tips tied it back up. Then Cody Fowlie gave Everett its first lead with 4:49 remaining, and a late emptynet goal secured a 6-4 victory for the Tips.

Seattle had nothing left in the tank and lost 8-2 at Portland as Everett claimed the final playoff berth.

“It’s huge if you look at where we are in the standings,” Betker added. “They have a couple games in hand, so we have to treat this game like it’s the last one of the year and the biggest one of the year.”

Beating Portland will be no easy task for Everett. The Winterhawks have taken 17 of a possible 18 points from their past nine games, scoring five or more goals in all but one of those outings.

“I think it’s been a combination of things,” Portland coach Jamie Kompon said about the reasons behind his team’s recent success. “We got a big boost from the way we played with players away at the (World Junior Hockey Championships in December and January). We played .500 during that stretch, but it gave some younger players a chance to step into more prominent roles and it brought the team together. Then the success our players had at World Juniors served as a launchpad.”

Portland’s top line in particular has been on fire.

Winger Oliver Bjorkstrand has been an unstoppable goal-scoring force, finding the net 21 times in his past 13 games. Center Nicolas Petan has been at his absolute playmaking best, dishing out and astounding 20 assists over his past six contests. Winger Paul Bittner is coming off a hat trick and five points in Portland’s 6-2 victory over Tri-City on Saturday.

“The big key to beating them is shutting down their top line,” said Betker, who’s sure to see plenty of ice time against Bjorkstrand and company. “It’s no secret who that is, with how hot they are right now. They’re going to be important to shut down

games remaining. What ensued was a wild game with a wild finish. The Tips trailed 2-0 going into the third period when they scored three straight, with Scott MacDonald seeming to complete an unlikely comeback by giving the Tips the lead with 1:32 remaining. But the Americans, who could have packed it in after giving up the lead, instead conjured up a tying goal from Brendan Shinniman with 30.5 seconds remaining, and Tri-City ended up winning in a shootout. The Tips made one final push, winning six of their next seven, but Everett lost 3-2 at Spokane on the final day of the regular season to fall one point short.

for us to win.”

Everett, meanwhile, has started to recover.

The Tips went through a recent stretch where they won just twice over a span of seven games. But Everett has won its past three behind a stifling defense that allowed just three goals total during those games. That included a huge 3-2 overtime victory over league-leading Kelowna on March 3.

Everett also prevailed the last time the Tips and Winterhawks met, winning 4-3 in overtime on Feb. 8 in a thrilling encounter at Xfinity Arena.

“We have our heads screwed on straight right now,” Bauml said. “That Kelowna game I think really turned a corner for us. We’re really focused, really intense, getting our work in. The mindset is right where it needs to be, now it’s just a matter of going out and executing.”

Portland realizes that unlocking that tight Tips defense will be its priority for Wednesday’s game.

“The one thing about Everett is they play with a lot of structure,” Kompon said. “They have a lot of skill and four lines that contribute, so we need to have all four lines going and matching their level of intensity. They manage the puck really well, so we

have to make sure we’re doing the right things when they have the puck and with the way we get the puck back from them.”

Which team will be able to implement its gameplan Wednesday? That’s anybody’s guess. But what is known is that whichever team prevails will have a leg up in the battle for the division title.

Slap shots Everett goaltender Carter Hart was named the Canadian Hockey League goaltender of the Week on Tuesday.

The 16-year-old rookie made three starts last week, going 3-0 with a 0.98 goals against average and .965 save percentage. ... Everett defenseman Tristen Pfiefer is doubtful for Wednesday’s game.

Pfeifer, who has missed the past four games because of an upper-body injury, did not practice Tuesday. ... Prospect Alex Astasiewicz has arrived in Everett and will spend the next couple weeks with the team. Astasiewicz, a 16-year-old defenseman, was a third-round pick in the 2013 bantam draft. He recently completed his season with the Golden Rockets of the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, with whom he had five goals and 20 assists in 46 games.

Nine pitches.

The second inning saw Justin Morneau pop to second, Wilin Rosario ground to short and Michael McKenry fly to center.

Again, Hernandez threw just nine pitches.

Sufficient.

“I’m the same,” Hernandez said. “I’m just trying to get ready.

I mean, it’s a great team. I’m excited, too. I need to get ready to be Felix again.”

While there are no guarantees this deal will work out for the Seahawks, the move does once again show some of the traits that have helped Carroll and general manager John Schneider turn the Seahawks into one of the NFL’s model franchises.

On a day when NFL teams kicked off the new league year with a flurry of wild moves, none were bolder, more unpredictable or potentially more significant than the Seahawks’ acquisition of Graham.

In transforming the Seahawks from a struggling, aging team to champions, Schneider and Carroll have made many unconventional, unpredictable and ultimately brilliant decisions to build one of the NFL’s most talented rosters. They have also, of course, made a few mistakes, none more glaring than the Percy Harvin trade that they

a similar approach Thursday with Hisashi Iwakuma, who won’t make the trip to Mesa to face Oakland.

The Mariners and A’s play a three-game series from April 10-12 in Oakland before heading down the coast to Dodger Stadium.

“He’s pitching on the back field as well,” McClendon confirmed. “I don’t want them facing teams that we’re going to play early. I don’t like doing that.

I’ll take any kind of edge we can get.”

Iwakuma could be in line to face the A’s in April, depending on where he slots in the Mariners’ rotation. Even if he doesn’t,

admitted was a failure when they shipped him off to the New York Jets last fall. Carroll and Schneider hope they learn something from that mistake, but on Tuesday, they emphatically showed that they weren’t scarred by it.

“I think you get to learn from your past and make sure to cover your bases,” Schneider said. “...

There are a lot of questions you have to get answered and we feel like we did that, and that we learned from our previous trade with Percy.”

The two trades aren’t the same for numerous reasons, nor are Harvin and Graham the same type of player, but Tuesday’s trade, which came just five months after the Seahawks admitted failure with Harvin, does show that the Seahawks won’t be gun-shy when it comes to upgrading their roster, even after a mistake, nor will they rest on their laurels even after consecutive trips to the Super Bowl. In this case, that meant recognizing a team in salary cap trouble and pouncing when one its best players became available.

Under Carroll and Schneider, the Seahawks have three times traded for star offensive players, first adding Marshawn Lynch, a massive success, then acquiring Harvin, a clear bust.

Graham’s impact is yet to be

the teams play 19 times as division rivals.

“And they just need to build up (arm strength and endurance),” McClendon said. “I don’t think they’re trying to make the club.”

King Felix professed not to care, saying: “He’s the boss. I don’t mind.”

Besides, this is all prelude.

Hernandez characterizes this spring as, “Normal. Real normal.

I feel good. I’m just getting ready for the season.”

Hernandez offered up a changeup for his first spring pitch, and Corey Dickerson rocked it to deep center before Austin Jackson ran it down.

Brandon Barnes then worked

He’s just a fantastic target that we can implement in a number of ways.”

— Seahawks coach Pete Carroll talking about Jimmy Graham

determined, but he is very much the kind of difference-maker who could help the Seahawks offense take a big step forward in 2015.

He won’t put up the same numbers in Seattle as he did in New Orleans, but Graham can still be a matchup nightmare, the kind of player who dictates coverage and who can create more favorable running situations for Lynch, or better matchups for Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, Luke Willson and others.

“He’s just a fantastic target that we can implement in a number of ways,” Carroll said.

“It’s pretty clear, he’s a big receiver, plays big, makes plays in a crowd, makes plays on top

Shortstops Brad Miller and Chris Taylor flipped infield roles Tuesday as Miller shifted to second base for the game against Colorado at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale.

Taylor started at second base in Monday’s 4-3 victory over Cleveland.

McClendon said the move stems from Robinson Cano’s absence from camp following his grandfather’s death in the Dominican Republic.

Cano is expected to return Friday to camp and start Saturday against Arizona.

Neither Miller nor Taylor is expected to play much at second once Cano returns. Nor is either likely to play much at second at Triple-A Tacoma if they fail to make the club.

“I think they would be shortstops,” McClendon said. “If one of them is not here, I can’t imagine they’ll go down and play second.”

That suggests shortstop Ketel Marte is likely to shift to second for the Rainiers.

Short hops Newcomer Kevin Correia, 34, threw his first bullpen workout since agreeing to a minor-league contract.

He is a 12-year veteran who has a 7695 record with five clubs. ... ESPN announced plans to televise the April 15 game between the Mariners and Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. That is Jackie Robinson Day.

of guys. He’s a very effective player in the red zone, he has been a terrific, consistent scorer, all of that stuff.”

Of course this deal isn’t without risk. The Seahawks go from having one of the best centers in the game to having a question mark in the middle of their offensive line, a loss that is only magnified by the fact that left guard James Carpenter signed with the New York Jets Tuesday. And now the Seahawks don’t have a first-round pick with which they could potentially address those needs. Oh, and Graham’s first meeting with the team could be a bit awkward considering he nearly got into a pregame fight with Bruce Irvin before a playoff game two seasons ago, and was called “overrated” and “soft” by Michael Bennett after that game.

Carroll dismissed those past issues as “gamesmanship” and said it won’t be a problem, and while he and Schneider admit Unger will be hard to replace, they simply couldn’t pass up on a chance to get a rare touchdown-maker. This trade isn’t a no-brainer, but it is quintessential Schneider and Carroll: bold, unpredictable, and possibly another move that will make the Seahawks significantly better going forward.

The facts

Once Mariners ace Felix Hernandez departed after two scoreless innings, everything devolved into a spit show.

Colorado designated hitter Wilin Rosario did much of the damage with a pair of homers.

Rosario’s first blast was a two-run slicing drive against Roenis Elias that erased the Mariners’ 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. The other one was a three-run shot against Dominic Leone that highlighted a seven-run fifth.

Play of the game

It’s hard to single out just one depressing moment in the Colorado fifth, which included errors by second baseman Brad Miller and left fielder Julio Morban on routine plays and costly wild pitches by Leone and Mike Kickham.

Plus

Dustin Ackley had three hits after going 1-for-7 in three previous games. ... James Jones stole his second base of the spring after reaching in the third inning on an error. He later scored on Ackley’s two-out single up the middle. ... Reliever Danny Farquhar bounced back from two subpar outings by pitching a scoreless seventh inning with two strikeouts.

Minus

Besides that Colorado fifth? Well, third baseman D.J. Peterson had some rough defensive moments. He and Ackley miscommunicated on Carlos Gonzalez’s soft pop in the third. The ball fell for a single, but Peterson threw out Gonzalez at second. Peterson and catcher Jesus Sucre later combined to allow a foul pop to drop near the third-base dugout. No error was called on either play.

Job battles Start with the shortstop candidates.

Miller committed his second error in four games, but he keeps swinging the bat He was 2-for-3 and is now 6-for-9 overall. Chris Taylor was hitless in three at-bats, although he drove in a run with a grounder. ... Elias squandered a 2-0 lead in fourth by giving up a two-out double to Justin Morneau and Rosarios’ first homer.

Elias, who is battling Taijuan Walker for a rotation job, also worked just two innings instead of a planned three.

Staying at short

The Mariners’ Felix Hernandez threw 18 pitches in two scoreless innings against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

MARINERS | Update

“

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — So here it starts. Felix Hernandez’s first spring outing came Tuesday when he pitched two scoreless innings for the Seattle Mariners in a messy 9-3 loss to Colorado at Salt River Fields.

He threw just 18 pitches, walked one, struck out none and his own assessment — which amounted to “meh” — is as good as any when grading one of the game’s top pitchers.

“Not bad,” Hernandez shrugged. “For the first time, pretty good. I walked somebody.

That’s not good. After that, I was fine.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon offered Hernandez the opportunity for more work in the bullpen but, “I said, ‘No, I’m fine.’” So that was it.

Hernandez’s next start will come Sunday, which positioned him for a possible marquee matchup against Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw at Peoria Stadium.

That won’t happen.

McClendon plans for Hernandez to start instead against a collection of minor-league players on a practice field to avoid giving the Dodgers an advance look — the two clubs play April 13-15 in Los Angeles.

“We’re playing them so early,” McClendon explained. “I just don’t want them to see Felix.”

That’s fine, except ... barring rain in Oakland, the schedule doesn’t appear to line up for a Hernandez/Kershaw matchup in April — if the two aces, as expected, start the season openers.

McClendon, apparently, isn’t taking any chances. He is taking

Kristine Kidd’s “Gluten-Free Baking” uses more nutrient-dense grains than other gluten-free recipes.

Gluten-free baking against the grain Cookbook: “Gluten-Free Baking” Author: Kristine Kidd

The early generation of glutenfree baked goods tended to be imitations, often not very good ones, of cakes and cookies usually made with wheat flour.

Kristine Kidd, cookbook writer and former Bon Appetit magazine food editor, is among those trying another tack: She looked at the flours that have no gluten — almond, buckwheat and sorghum among them — and figured out how to bake.

The result is her second book on cooking without gluten, “Gluten-Free Baking” (Weldon Owen, $24.95). Her first was “Weeknight Gluten-Free.”

“I did not want to make copies of things that are better made with wheat flour. That’s just going to be disappointing,” Kidd said.

When she learned her celiac disease had resurfaced several years ago, she began exploring a new world of cooking.

“First I started doing things that were naturally gluten-free,” she said. And those are in the book: meringues with chocolate and ginger, coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate and other cookies that use nut meals rather than flour. There’s a cheesecake and a flourless chocolate cake with dried cherries, a rice pudding and an Indian pudding.

There also is a version of the first recipe she ever made, with her grandmother, pecan thumbprint cookies, this time using brown rice flour.

Most people who avoid gluten do so for health reasons; they have celiac disease or other sensitivities to gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. Or they believe their diets are generally more healthful without gluten. So it’s perhaps surprising to read the ingredient lists of many glutenfree baked goods on the market.

“I noticed that most of the gluten-free prepared foods and the mixes focus on the white starches that are bad for you — corn, potato, white rice. I wanted to explore the grains that are healthy for you,” Kidd said.

In her research, sorghum came up over and over, she said. It’s a grass, often used in this country as animal feed and to make molasses. But the flour is available in Whole Foods and health food stores, as well as some supermarkets.

“It’s a nutrient-dense grain, and it’s got a very sweet neutral flavor. It became my basic flour,” Kidd said. It doesn’t bind ingredients, however, so she used eggs or xantham gum for that.

Several muffins and scones are among the 80 recipes in “Gluten-Free Baking.” Cornmeal-pecan muffins are one of the many recipes in which Kidd uses cornmeal, which adds texture and taste, along with the sorghum flour. There’s orange zest and cinnamon, too. They rose perfectly and seemed very close to gluteny muffins. And corn, of course, is a great morning flavor.

Barbecue expert Aaron Franklin demonstrates slicing techniques during Camp Brisket, an intensive two-day course at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, that sold out in less than five minutes.

Deep in the heart of

BRISKET

By Jim Shahin Special to The Washington Post

A full room of guys — and just a half-dozen women — sit in a tiered classroom at Texas A&M University in College Station, awaiting the start of the day’s activities.

Jeff Savell strolls to the front of the room. “Most of you have mastered pulled pork by now,” says Savell, distinguished professor of animal science at A&M. “Most of you have not mastered brisket. That’s why you’re here.”

Indeed, Camp Brisket, an intensive two-day tutorial for barbecue fanatics, is like rock ‘n’ roll fantasy camp — except instead of guitarists and drummers, the instructors are pitmasters and meat scientists.

Why devote all this attention to smoked beef brisket?

One word: Mystique.

Slow smoking breaks down collagen, or connective tissue, transforming the notoriously

tough cut into a gelatinous hallelujah of beefy, buttery flavor.

The smoke creates a crusty exterior that in barbecue parlance is called bark. And the combination of crunchy surface, soft and juicy interior, and meaty, smoky taste makes for a transcendent eating experience.

When it’s done right, that is.

The pleasures of beautifully smoked brisket have taken it from a humble Texas-centric pleasure to the marquee meat on menus from New York to Los Angeles. Home cooks have jumped on the bandwagon, too — but they soon realize that the quest for brisket mastery is a deep rabbit hole of questions, folk wisdom and lore.

That’s why the third annual Camp Brisket sold out in less than five minutes, attracting lawyers, real estate agents, a guy whose wife gave him the weekend as a wedding gift and a chemist who does “advanced See BRISKET, Page D2

Feelin’ crabby: Time to dig into Dungeness

N

othing says West Coast cuisine like Dungeness crab. And since we’re smack dab in the middle of crab season — it began Dec. 1 and wraps up the middle of August — this is still primo crab feed time.

My favorite way to enjoy Dungeness crab is straight out of a crab pot where it’s been boiled just long enough to cook the juicy, tender morsels of meat locked inside that crusty hardshell exterior.

I usually support such simplicity with an equally simple set of side dishes. A crunchy green salad full of fresh veggies and a zesty dressing or a richly flavored coleslaw, layered with other Pacific Northwest delights, such as richly toasted hazelnuts, and local smoky bacon. Something like that, with some fresh artisan bread and you’re truly set.

When I’m opting for a simple tossed green salad to accompany our crab feeds, a classic Louis dressing is always a part of the

JAN ROBERTSDOMINGUEZ event because it’s such a delicious partner to the fresh Dungeness crab. You can make it days ahead — though you may have to hide it in the back of the refrigerator until the feast begins or it will disappear. Additionally, the tomato-pesto mayonnaise and buttery cocktail sauce are delicious accents to consider.

to a boil, cook for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their size.

After cooking, clean the crab by removing the back shell, rinse out the viscera and pull off the gill filaments.

Once they’re cool enough to handle, pull the legs from the main body. Using anything that can be viewed as a kitchen mallet, such as a metal ice cracker, meat tenderizer or even a rolling pin, whack the crabs (don’t be too vigorous or you’ll smash the tender crab meat) in several spots to loosen the shells for easy removal of the meat.

Pile the cracked legs and bodies into big bowls, set them on the table, along with any dipping sauces you’re serving, plus, perhaps, some melted butter and fresh lemons and let friends and family have at it. For the uninitiated, demonstrate how the pointy end of a claw can be used to pry crab meat from the far reaches of legs and body cavities.

The general rule around our house is two people per crab, unless the crab is smaller than

11⁄2 pounds, at which point, you should play it safe and have one crab per person. Plus, for groups larger than four, I always throw in one extra crab “for the pot.”

Tomato-pesto mayonnaise 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons minced yellow onion 11⁄4 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomato (use Roma tomatoes, if possible) 2 cups mayonnaise 1 teaspoon commercially prepared or homemade pesto (more to taste) 1 tablespoon brandy (optional) This is a wonderful alternative to the classic red seafood cocktail sauce. But actually, I like to serve it alongside the red sauce so folks can sort of mingle the two together if desired.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add the onion and gently saute until the onion turns a light golden brown and is lightly caramelized.

This will take about 10 minutes. Don’t scorch the onions by cooking over too

cholesterol training.” (He insists he wasn’t recruiting.) On this weekend in January, 60-some backyard hobbyists, professional competitors and restaurateurs have flocked to this small Texas town from all over the state — and from Ohio, Colorado, California, New York, Montreal, even Kazakhstan.

They’re here to improve their game, to land the white whale that is the perfect brisket. They hope to learn secrets imparted by barbecue’s high priests, such as Robb Walsh, the dean of Texas barbecue writers and author of “Legends of Texas Barbecue,” or Daniel Vaughn, Texas Monthly barbecue editor (yes, there is such a position).

Oh, and Aaron Franklin.

The owner of tiny Franklin Barbecue restaurant, which regularly attracts two-hour lines of patrons waiting beneath a wilting Texas sun for a taste of what Bon Appetit called the best barbecue in America. He has a PBS show called “BBQ With Franklin” and a book scheduled for April release, “Franklin Barbecue: A

Meat-Smoking Manifesto.”

Franklin dons a white apron and blue gloves and approaches a table where an untrimmed raw brisket awaits his surgery. A genial guy who chats throughout his demonstration, Franklin slices the stiff fat, called “hard fat,” off the meat, then begins carefully whittling for well over a half-hour until he has trimmed the remaining fat to a roughly 1⁄8-inch coat that will melt through the meat as it cooks, tenderizing and flavoring it, and provide a surface for the chemical reaction that creates the bark. “You want to make the brisket aerodynamic,” Franklin says, to optimize both the outside bark and inside tenderness.

Two smoked briskets are brought in and laid on a table. Their fragrance fills the room. They were cooked the night before and have been resting for a couple of hours. “Resting a brisket for a long time is really important,” says Franklin, whose briskets at his restaurant stay in a warmer at 140 degrees for 2 to 3 hours after coming off the pit.

And so it goes throughout the two days. Minutiae and detail. How to build a fire. How to keep it steady.

The specific flavors of different woods. The history

of brisket. (Fun fact: Brisket wasn’t common, even in Texas, until the 1960s, when beef began being sold to stores by the cut rather than by the side, and when Lyndon B. Johnson’s pitmaster, Walter Jetton, promoted it as a “self-basting cut.”)

Campers ask, well, you name it. What percentage of moisture should be in the wood? (About 20.) Begin with cold or room-temperature meat?

(Debatable, but consensus is cold to get the pink color around the perimeter called a smoke ring.) What is the ideal smokestack?

(Long conversation follows about tapered chimneys, round vs. rectangular stacks, a balance of intake and exhaust, the restriction of air flow. “Redneck science,” Franklin calls pit design.) How much smoke should be used? (Depends on how smoky you like your brisket.)

Meals are taste tests. At one, campers blind-taste slices of brisket from different aluminum pans and score them as a test of different grades: Select, Certified Angus Beef, Choice, Prime and Wagyu.

Not surprisingly, Prime and Wagyu tie for first, while Select places last. But in something of a stunner, the difference is minuscule, only a half-point separating the top score (6)

sweet bell pepper 2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 ⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish 1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped Here’s our family favorite dressing for a crab feed. Set it out with a tossed green salad so

folks can mingle it with their crab, along with melted butter, a zesty cocktail sauce (I always stir in a bit extra horseradish) and fresh lemon juice, of course.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and chili sauce.

Add the peppers, onion, parsley, cayenne, Worcestershire, horseradish, and chopped egg. Blend this mixture thoroughly and then taste to determine if it needs additional chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or horseradish.

Use immediately or cover and

from the bottom (5.5).

Another meal compares briskets cooked over different woods. At a third, there is a contest between foilwrapped and unwrapped brisket. (I prefer the unwrapped because the slices have a meatier texture, but I like them both.)

As for this camper, although I’m an old salt at this, I learned that I, too, have a lot to learn. I’ll scour the new knowledge, trimming and resting and sweating the details, all in pursuit of nabbing that elusive white whale.

Texas smoked brisket 1 8-to-10-pound whole brisket, with fat cap 3 to 5 tablespoons kosher salt 3 to 5 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper Notes: Whole briskets weigh between 6 and 15 pounds. In a smoker, plan on about 1 hour to 90 minutes per pound. In a grill, plan on 30 to 45 minutes per pound. ... If you’re using a smoker, you’ll need one chimney-full of charcoal, or about 85 standardsize briquettes. Use oak for its mild flavor and slow burn. It is also fine to use a combination of hardwoods, such as oak, hickory and pecan.

Make ahead: The smoked brisket needs to rest for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours before serving.

If you’re using a smoker, start a charcoal fire in the firebox.

90 minutes per pound (timing may depend on brisket thickness, weather conditions), making sure to keep the fire as steady as possible. If the fire gets too hot (325 degrees or higher), close the chimney completely until the temperature falls to about 250 degrees. If the fire falls below 225 degrees, add another log or two, and make sure it catches fire before you close the firebox.

To cook in the grill: When the grill is set up as directed above and the coals are ashen, place 2 or 3 hardwood chunks on the coals, place the grill rack in position and cover the grill. When the hardwood chunks start to smoke, place the brisket on the grill rack above the drip pan. Maintain the temperature inside the grill between 250 and 300 degrees. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes per pound; add charcoal and hardwood chunks as needed.

The brisket is done when a meat thermometer registers between 190 and 195 degrees when inserted into the thick end of the meat.

Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a clean work surface.

Transfer the brisket to the foil; wrap the meat in the foil. Place the wrapped brisket in a roomtemperature cooler; cover with a couple of towels (for insulation).

Let it rest for at least 1 hour, and up to 3 hours, before slicing against the grain.

If you’re using a charcoal grill, prepare the grill for indirect grilling: Light the charcoal in a chimney starter and let the briquettes burn until the flames subside and a light layer of ash covers the briquettes (about 20 to 25 minutes). Dump the lighted coals into 2 mounds (or, preferably, into 2 half-moon-shaped briquette baskets) on opposite sides of the grill. Place a drip pan between the piles of coals and fill it a quarter of way with water.

Trim the fat on the brisket to between 1⁄8 and 1⁄4 inch thick. Season the brisket liberally with salt and pepper (to taste), so the meat is well coated and textured.

To cook in the smoker: When the coals turn ashen, open the chimney completely and add 2 split logs or 6 hardwood chunks.

Let them burn for about 10 minutes or until they start to flame for a couple of minutes; close the firebox door. When the logs or hardwood chunks start smoldering and smoking, about another 10 minutes or so when the thermometer reads 225 degrees, set the brisket on the grate in the cooking chamber, as far from the fire as possible. Close the chamber door; close the chimney one-half to three-quarters of the way; adjust to maintain the temperature inside the smoker between 225 and 275 degrees.

Add two logs or 6 hardwood chunks as needed after about 2 hours. Smoke between 1 hour and

Here are some tips for helping you achieve sublimity, drawn from my own experience plus inside skinny passed along in lectures, panel discussions, interviews and hallway discussions at Camp Brisket.

Don’t inject. Neither Aaron Franklin nor fellow Texas pitmaster Wayne Mueller does. Look, a quadrillion Texans know what Lyndon B. Johnson’s pitmaster, Walter Jetton, knew: A brisket is “self-basting.”

Keep it simple. “You don’t have to brine it,” says Mueller.

“You don’t have to have this super-complex rub.” Brown sugar mates well with pork butt; cayenne is a nice touch on pork ribs. But the best pitmasters in central Texas use nothing more than kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

The point is to not mask flavor, but to enhance it.

Coat the meat liberally to create a rough, thickish texture.

Use equal parts salt and pepper for balance, or 60 percent of one or the other if you prefer a peppery or a saltier crust.

Hold steady. Don’t go nuts trying to maintain a specific temperature. The primary goal is to avoid drastic fluctuations, so try to keep the temperature between 225 and 275 degrees throughout the cooking time.

Know how to position it. Set the brisket on the cooking grate fat side up. You want the fat to melt through the meat to moisten and provide richness.

The pumpkin puree used here, with the addition of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, turns this dessert into a fragrant flavor mash-up of rice pudding and pumpkin pie. I have had good results from adding pureed mango for a more tropical taste profile, and I imagine pureed peaches or even sweet potato would also work.

ice pudding is one of those decadenttasting desserts that lend themselves readily to a healthful upgrade. The vanilla-scented liquid in which the rice simmers can be made rich and creamy without involving actual cream, and in ways that also add flavor and nourishing power.

For one, using shortgrain rice gives full-bodied thickness to a reducedfat-milk base because it releases more starch than a long-grain variety would.

And making it brown rice contributes a lovely nutty

“The Woman I Admire Most”

View Ridge Elementary

Louisa’s family did not have much money. To help out, Louisa started taking on as many jobs as a young girl could find. She read for an elderly man and his sister.

Louisa and her sister Anna taught young children and mended and washed laundry.

Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832. She was the second oldest of four girls. Her love of her sisters helped her to become one of America’s most beloved children’s book authors.

In 1852, Louisa’s first poem was published in a magazine, and she made her first money from writing.

Use the code to find out the name of Louisa’s first published poem.

As a child, Louisa and her family moved to Boston, Massachusetts where her father, Amos Alcott, set up a school based upon his beliefs about education.

A woman I admire is my Aunt Amanda because she is so nice and kind. When I go to my Aunt’s house she always lets me hold my baby cousin. She always wears vanilla bean scented lotion. I love the smell of the lotion. I love my Aunt Amanda so so, so, so, so, much. I even jumped on their jumping bag when they had it. ~Emily A woman I admire is my grandma, Betty Lou. She is 71 years old and she has lots of cats and takes really good care of them. Every time I see her we do arts and crafts. She is a really good artist and so are my sister and I. My grandma lives in Port Angeles. She has a beach cabin in Oregon and we go there every year. She is the most wonderful grandmother ever! ~Maya

The woman I admire is my grandma. Her name is Janice. The reason I chose her is because she is nice and compassionate. She is the greatest grandma I could ever hope for. ~Jaden I admire LaFaye because she is nice to me and takes care of her husband. She also brings food to church to help people. I love her and admire her. ~Kayla A woman I admire is Mrs. George because she is the kindest teacher in the world. When she teaches math I get excited! ~Matthew

I get there on the ferry and leave on the ferry. My grandma loves to shop and paint. She is an artist. We always watch a movie or read before bed. We hearmy grandpa snore. I admire her because she is so sweet. ~Michaila

The most important person in my life is my Grandma.

She is nice because I love the cookies she makes me. It is the love that the cookies represent. She also helps me paint a landscape. It is a place like the woods or a waterfall. I admire her a lot. ~Daisy

Mrs. George • 2nd Grade

In 1855, her first book, Flower Fables was published.

In 1862, Louisa went to Washington, D.C. to serve as a Civil War nurse. Like many other nurses, Louisa contracted typhoid fever. Although she got better, mercury in the medicine caused her suffering for the rest of her life. In Washington, Louisa continued to write and she published two more books.

Her publisher, Thomas Niles, asked that she write “a girl’s story.” Having spent her life with three interesting sisters, Louisa wrote Little Women based on her own experiences.

The novel, published in 1868, was an instant success.

It has now been a favorite book for generations.

Louisa worked hard to help women get the right to vote. She wrote articles about equality for women and went door-to-door encouraging women to register to vote. In 1879, Alcott became the first woman in Concord, MASS. to register to vote when she cast a ballot for the village school committee.

Louisa’s parents encouraged her to follow her dreams and to hold on to her freedom in life. Her father Amos had very advanced ideas about childhood and education. In fact, many people believe he is the founder of this part of the school day.

GRANDPARENTING

Ambiguities cloud issue of child obesity

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: One look is all it takes to see why one of my grandson’s nicknames is “Fat Face.” He is nine years old. He is all blubber. He looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy on those TV commercials. At the rate he is going, my grandson is headed for an early grave. They will need a crane to lower his coffin into the ground.

Do I blame him? Yes, a little bit.

My grandson has no self-control with food. He must eat to make himself feel better. His parents are divorced. Money is a problem. But mostly I really blame my son’s exwife. She is the person in charge of my grandson. She has custody. I do not have a clue what she feeds him. She could use a trip to the fat farm herself. Can she be charged with a crime for neglect or anything? I would say she is putting him in danger for disease or an early death. Here is what bothers me. She could be hauled into court if she gave my grandson drugs and he died. But is it fine and dandy for her to feed him to death?

Joel Carson, Denver, Colorado Dear Joel: Childhood obesity is

a hot-button issue all across America. As more grandchildren tip the Toledo at dangerously higher numbers, they become more susceptible to diseases commonly associated with adults — diabetes, sleep apnea, liver disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis and depression. Obese grandchildren are more apt to suffer from lower levels of confidence and selfesteem, and are exposed to social ridicule and bullying. More likely to become obese adults, they set themselves up to develop heart disease, strokes, diabetes and cancer.

Back in our day, parents were occasionally held liable for serving alcohol to underage minors.

Now the courts are more inclined to intervene in the parental prerogative to raise a child as they see fit. In a majority of states, local judges can require parents to pay restitution for juvenile crimes.

Communities are empowered to impose penalties and arrest on parents whose children violate behavior standards. States are cracking down on the parents of children who use social media to harass and bully others.

challenges for authorities. Is the child genetically predisposed to become overweight? How much control can parents exert over a child’s exercise, eating habits, or access to fattening food and drink?

Is a morbidly obese child in imminent danger? Have the parents taken all necessary steps to manage a child’s weight?

The issue is clouded by a host of ambiguities. And besides, indulging is the American way of life.

Grandchildren aren’t the only overweight segment of society.

Take a little brainwashing, add a few political assassinations and stir in a villainess evil enough to rival Lady Macbeth. The enduring result is “The Manchurian Candidate,” first as a novel, then two movies and now — an opera.

“When you look for an operatic subject, you look for something larger than life,” said Mark Campbell, librettist for the work by the Minnesota Opera that opened Saturday at St. Paul’s Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

“You look for passion in an opera, and this one has it.”

The story originated as Richard Condon’s paranoid thriller, published in 1959 and adapted into two successful films. The first of these, released in 1962, featured Angela Lansbury in an unforgettable, Oscarnominated performance as the relentlessly scheming senator’s wife, Eleanor Iselin. (Meryl Streep played the role in the 2004 remake, while soprano Brenda Harris stars in the operatic version.)

Her over-the-top character was one of the main things that attracted both Campbell and composer Kevin Puts to the project.

“She’s such an incredibly operatic villainess,” Puts said. “She was absolutely one of the first elements that drew me to the story, knowing that she would be such a great character to write arias for.”

Both Campbell and Puts were interviewed by phone last week from St. Paul, where they were presiding over final rehearsals for the new work. For both men, it’s a reunion with

promise more than 2 ½ years later.)

In 1965, “I Lost It at the Movies,” a collection of film criticism by Pauline Kael, was first published

by Little, Brown and Co. In 1977, more than 130 hostages held in Washington D.C. by Hanafi Muslims were freed after ambassadors from three Islamic nations joined the negotiations.

In 1993, Janet Reno was unanimously confirmed by the Senate to be attorney general.

In 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people in an attack linked to alQaida-inspired militants.

In 2011, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami struck Japan’s northeastern coast, killing nearly 20,000 people and severely damaging the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station.

In 2012, sixteen Afghan villagers — mostly women and children — were shot dead as they slept by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

the Minnesota Opera, since the company also commissioned their last collaboration, “Silent Night,” based on “Joyeux Noel,” a French film about a spontaneous Christmas truce among hostile armies early in WWI. That opera, Puts’ first, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for music and has since been staged in cities that include Fort Worth, Texas; Philadelphia; Wexford, Ireland; Calgary, Canada; and most recently Kansas City, Mo. Puts, who had written a substantial body of chamber and orchestral works before turning to opera, resists having his musical style narrowly defined, and indeed the Pulitzer board in giving the award praised “Silent Night” for “displaying versatility of style and cutting straight to the heart.” Among his influences, he cites the Finnish composer Jan Sibelius and fellow Americans Samuel Barber and John Adams.

One of Eleanor’s arias bears some resemblance to Madame Mao’s bravura showpiece in Adams’

“Nixon in China,” with its furious intensity and lunging high notes.

As with any new work, Puts said he has been tinkering with his score up to the last minute. “They’re mostly minor, things like, oh, we could use a little more time here so let’s insert four measures,” he said. “This is a thriller, so the pace is quite fast. But we also needed to find moments where the audience can kind of take a breath.”

Campbell, who has written librettos for numerous other composers, praised Puts for avoiding what he considers a sin of much modern opera, where “the composer has just taken a play and set it to music. It becomes so tedious and it doesn’t use the form properly.”

“I like the big aria, I like when the soprano hits the high note. I like it when five people are singing about different things at the same time and the music takes over,” Campbell said.

“Kevin does not dumb down. It’s completely contemporary music. We’re

just giving it a strong story and a few tunes.”

Tomer Zvulun, director of the Atlanta Opera, who directed the European premiere of “Silent Night” at the Wexford Festival, praised the new work after attending a workshop performance last weekend. “It constantly surprised me,” he told the StarTribune of Minneapolis. “It’s a powerful thriller that moves rapidly through realism, surrealism, imagination and suspense. And it sounds effortless.”

Still, Puts admitted to feeling nervous “now that we’re getting down to the wire. There is a lot of expectation and you do start to feel very vulnerable to what could be said. But all you can do is put everything you have into it.”

And then plunge ahead into new projects. He and Campbell are already working on their next collaboration, a chamber piece for Opera Philadelphia based on a novel by Peter Ackroyd about a London serial murder case called “The Trial of Elizabeth Cree.”

“It’s dark, and ‘Manchurian’ is dark,” Puts said, “so I’m going to look for something a little more uplifting and optimistic after that.”
