Porn leads to suspension A third grade girl at Sunnycrest Elementary searched for and shared sexually explicit images on a school computer.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — Two third grade students have been suspended from Sunnycrest Elementary School after finding and

sharing pornographic images on a school computer.

A third grade girl searched for sexually explicit images to show classmates, district spokeswoman Jayme Taylor said.

“She intentionally found and

shared it,” she said. “That’s why disciplinary action was taken.”

A second student helped share the images with classmates and also was suspended, Taylor said. She declined to specify the second student’s gender. The district has not said how long the suspensions will last.

Administrators learned about the incident Monday afternoon.

They notified families with students at Sunnycrest Elementary School via email Tuesday evening.

The district still is investigating what happened, including when the images were shared and how many students saw them, Taylor said. Students were not allowed See PORN, Page A2

SEATTLE — OceanGate’s new submarine is steered with a video-game controller, uses computer fans in the air filtration system and shows sonar data on a consumer-grade flat screen.

Cyclops 1 uses everyday technology. But it is central to OceanGate’s ambitious business plan to open new markets in undersea operations, CEO Stockton Rush said.

The newly Everett-based company unveiled Cyclops on Wednesday at the Museum of

History and Industry here. It was developed in partnership with the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory.

The sub is the size of a small school bus — 16 feet long and about 8 feet tall. The front end has a bubble canopy 57 inches across. Including a driver, the sub can carry five people.

That’s about a third of OceanGate’s workforce, which recently moved to the Port of Everett’s Waterfront Center.

A former McDonnell Douglas test pilot, Rush started the privately held company in 2009 with Guillermo Söhnlein, who

left OceanGate three years ago.

The company already has a long list of clients — mostly university researchers — who use the Antipodes submarine, a forerunner to the Cyclops.

Last August, the company had its best-known passenger, hip hop artist Ben Haggerty, or Macklemore, as he is better known. The Seattle native joined the crew of the Antipodes on a dive in Puget Sound to find sixgill sharks. The dive was filmed for the Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” series, which Macklemore referenced in his No. 1 song, “Can’t Hold Us.”

Legislation to end the personal beliefs exemption couldn’t overcome concerns about taking away parents’ rights to raise their children.

OLYMPIA — Parents in Washington can continue citing their personal beliefs as a reason to not vaccinate their school-age children after an Everett lawmaker’s effort to get rid of the allowance fizzled Wednesday.

A House bill to strip the personal beliefs exemption from the state vaccination law failed to get a floor vote before a 5 p.m. cut-off deadline for legislation.

“I’m disappointed that we can’t move it this year,” said Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, who introduced House Bill 2009 in response to a measles outbreak that sickened dozens of children across the U.S., including in Washington.

“I know we will continue to see disease outbreaks in our communities because vaccinations levels are low,” she said. “I’m committed to bringing (the bill) back next year.”

The bill had 27 sponsors, including Republicans, and was backed by Gov. Jay Inslee and the Washington State Medical Association.

But that wasn’t enough to overcome the resistance of lawmakers concerned the bill stripped parents of their ability to raise their children as they see fit.

“The push back was large,” Robinson said. “We were very close to a vote. Every member here has received a lot of communication from people who didn’t want the bill to move.”

Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, was prepared to vote against it.

“I immunized my kids. I think it’s the responsible thing to do,” he said. But the bill “takes away parental rights.”

Rep. Chad Magendanz, R-Issaquah, was one of the sponsors. He said Wednesday he could have supported the bill if it retained the personal beliefs exemption for vaccines derived from live microorganisms such as the one for measles.

Parents have a “legitimate right” to object to that vaccine versus those that are made from

but co-host James May characterized it as “a bit of a dustup.”

“But I don’t think it’s that serious,” he added.

The blend of car news, humor and blokey banter in “Top Gear” has won it legions of fans. The current series was launched simultaneously in more than 50 countries and the BBC has sold the format for locally produced versions in the U.S., China, Russia, Australia and South Korea.

It has also attracted controversy, much of it

LONDON — An off-set altercation has imperiled the internationally known TV car show “Top Gear,” one of the BBC’s most lucrative productions.

BBC News said Wednesday the broadcaster has postponed the three remaining episodes after suspending host Jeremy Clarkson over a reported “fracas” with a producer.

The BBC hasn’t given details about the incident,

Saturday.

attached to Clarkson, 54, one of three presenters and a self-styled enemy of “political correctness.”

In October, the “Top Gear” crew was forced to flee Argentina after facing violent protests for allegedly referencing the 1982 Falkland Islands war on a license plate.

Clarkson also asked for forgiveness last year after allegedly using the racist n-word during filming for the show. He said then had been given a “final warning” by producers.

In 2011, the BBC apologized to Mexico after Clarkson and his co-hosts characterized Mexicans as lazy and oafish.

Fans clamored Wednesday for Clarkson’s return.

The government’s culture minister, Maria Miller, called the TV personality a “legend,” and said the BBC “needs to be better at managing its talent.”

“There are other organizations that have to deal with larger-than-life characters,” she said.

Will Wyatt, a former

director of BBC television, said the broadcaster could try to continue “Top Gear” without Clarkson, but “it would be a bit like the Musketeers without D’Artagnan.”

“He is certainly the major personality in it and a huge part of its appeal,” Wyatt said.

Even as reporters and photographers camped outside Clarkson’s home, he emerged joking, saying he was on his way to Britain’s unemployment office.

“I’m just off to the job center,” he said.

The software is designed to block pornography, gambling, obscene language, adult content, hateful or violent sites and URL shorteners.

“In this instance, the images were searchable and visible due to a change in the search engine that had not been updated by the filtering software company,” the district explained in a statement.

The Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000 requires schools or libraries that receive discounts on Internet or internal connections to block content that could be harmful to children. Participating schools must show that they have a policy in place to block or filter access to pictures that are obscene, show child pornography or can be harmful to minors.

No student, especially a third-grader, should have

access to explicit material at school, the Lake Stevens School District said in the statement.

“We are sincerely sorry that this happened,” administrators wrote in the email to parents. “The use of technology and the Internet are integral tools in the education of students, but nothing overrides the importance of your child’s safety while at Sunnycrest.”

Under state law, parents or guardians can obtain a vaccination exemption for medical, personal or religious beliefs. Washington is one of 20 states that allow for an exemption on personal belief or

In 2011, the state passed a law requiring parents seeking an exemption on personal or philosophical grounds to provide proof they had received information from a health care provider about the benefits and risks of vaccinations.

National immunization data from 2013 show 71 percent of Washington children between 19 and 35 months old have received all of their shots on time.

I know we will continue to see disease outbreaks in our communities because vaccinations levels are low.

— Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett

Rep. Eileen Cody, D-Seattle, chairwoman of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee, said the conversation will be ongoing to increase the rate.

Otherwise, she said, “we’ll see kids contracting measles and pertussis and we’ll see deaths again.”

Teens are target of pot-prevention effort

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — More than two years after Washington legalized marijuana, community groups in Seattle are launching a citywide effort aimed at preventing use of marijuana and other drugs by teens.

The campaign, with support from the Seattle City Attorney’s Office, aims to spread positive messages that most kids don’t use drugs or alcohol. The messages,

which also ask parents to talk to their kids about marijuana, are being displayed on nine billboards around the city, some of them donated by Clear Channel Outdoor.

After announcing the campaign at Aki Kurose Middle School in south Seattle on Wednesday, city attorney Pete Holmes called the effort “an antidote to the fear-based messaging of the war on drugs.” He contrasted it with an anti-marijuana youth campaign in Colorado,

which told teens that if legal pot’s an experiment, “Don’t be a lab rat.” That effort featured oversized rat cages placed outside parks, libraries and schools — a bit too reminiscent of jail cells for Holmes’ taste.

In Seattle, organizers are asking students to take part in their “Above the Influence” contest, including taking selfies showing what inspires them not to use drugs or alcohol. Prizes include Seattle Seahawks and Sounders tickets.

Last June and July, as the state’s first licensed pot shops were preparing to open, the Department of Health scraped together $400,000 from other programs to run a statewide radio and online campaign targeting parents. But this is the first effort aimed at youth in Seattle since Initiative 502 passed.

Meanwhile, a newly published University of Washington study suggests further public messaging about the state’s marijuana law might be warranted:

Just 57 percent of parents in a small, ongoing survey of 115 low-income families in Tacoma knew that 21 is the legal age for recreational pot use, and just 63 percent knew that growing marijuana at home isn’t allowed.

The study found 71 percent of 10th-graders knew the legal age, but fewer than half knew the legal limit for marijuana possession — up to an ounce of dried bud.

Pulling his own weight, for others

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Push, push, push. About once per second, Quinton Morris gripped the top of his wheelchair’s push rims with gloved hands. He powerfully propelled himself forward, moving more than his own weight and that of his manual chair. Behind him, chained to the wheelchair frame, was a 15-pound wooden box. Inside the box were two 5-pound dumbbells.

Push, push, push. Morris went around and around the gym’s perimeter Wednesday at the YMCA’s Marysville Family Branch. He smiled but stayed focused as he passed people gathered along one wall to cheer his effort.

Morris was born with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle coordination. He has other disabilities, including vision problems. None of that stopped the 25-year-old Stanwood man from raising money for Y programs through his Draggin’ Dumbbells for Disabilities fundraiser.

He kept up his strenuous effort for about an hour Wednesday.

Even before he started, about $800 had been raised for adaptive fitness programs at the Marysville Y. And more was being raised with every lap.

“It’s hard. There’s no coasting.

If I do that, my shoulders hurt,” said Scott Ballenger, an adaptive fitness trainer at the Marysville Y who works with Morris. Ballenger, 57, also uses a wheelchair.

A quadriplegic, Ballenger was 15 when he broke his neck diving into shallow water.

Money from the fundraiser will support adaptive swimming, dance and fitness programs at the Marysville Y, Ballenger said.

“Our adaptive fitness training is inclusive. We’re alongside all the other Y members,” he said.

Morris lives in a Stanwood group home and takes DialA-Ride Transportation to the Marysville Y about four times a week. A graduate of special education programs in Stanwood, he has a job at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett and has

volunteered at a nursing home.

His Draggin’ Dumbbells for Disabilities event coincided with this week’s launch of the YMCA of Snohomish County’s annual community support fundraising campaign, said Colleen Temple, the organization’s director of marketing and communications.

“The Y is more than a gym.

It’s a cause,” campaign Chairwoman Kelly Shepherd said in a statement released by the Y on Monday.

“As a charity, we’re dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving our community’s health and well-being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors,” said Shepherd, principal of Everett’s Sequoia High School.

The Y’s 2015 campaign goal is $1,381,000. That goal includes fundraising efforts by the YMCA Board of Trustees, five

local YMCA branches (Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe/ Sky Valley and Mukilteo), the Stanwood-Camano YMCA initiative office, and the Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliate.

Mary Bredereck, executive director of the Marysville branch, said her facility’s goal is $180,000.

Last year, the YMCA of Snohomish County’s financial assistance program, supported by contributions to its annual campaign and United Way of Snohomish County, provided $1,895,420 in direct financial assistance to 9,925 people. In addition, nearly $3,985,232 was provided in YMCA program subsidies.

JJ Frank, the Marysville Y’s associate executive director, was watching Morris pull the weighted box, which had carpet on its bottom to keep from scratching the gym floor.

Onlookers at the gym cheer Morris, who was raising money with every lap of the YMCA gym Wednesday for Y programs.

“What I’m most proud about Quinton, he is making a difference in his community,” Frank said.

Before starting Wednesday’s

effort, Morris said the Y helps him stay positive. “I realize I do have friends who have disabilities, and also that I can help them,” he said.

that he’s monitoring its progress.

Neither he nor members of his administration will take part Friday when the House Finance Committee holds a public hearing on Robinson’s bill.

“At this point, I do not plan to testify,” Alex Pietsch, the state director of aerospace, wrote in an email.

Asked why, he replied: “I’m afraid there isn’t anything to elaborate upon. As I’ve shared, I’m not working these bills.”

Don’t expect anyone from Boeing to testify, either. The firm views the bill as “harmful and unnecessary,” but it’s not Boeing’s style to engage in hearings, even with $8.7 billion at stake.

Robinson’s bill is the handiwork of the unions

representing machinists and aerospace engineers. It stems from frustration that the 2013 law didn’t stop layoffs or prevent Boeing from shifting hundreds of jobs to other states without penalty.

Union leaders estimate the company’s Washington workforce has gone from nearly 83,000 in October 2013 to roughly 80,000 today.

A large chunk of those jobs, they say, went to Missouri, where Boeing will snag tax breaks if it creates 2,000 new jobs.

Under Robinson’s bill, Boeing must employ at least 83,295 workers to receive the full tax break.

Each drop of 250 jobs below that benchmark shrinks the tax break, and it disappears if the workforce declines to 78,295 or lower.

As written, Boeing stands to get a big tax bill if the bill becomes law.

That’s why Inslee isn’t making friends with aerospace execs by staying neutral on this bill.

While it doesn’t appear the bill will reach the governor’s desk this session,

Secret Sub: Wide range of potential customers Service agents eyed From Page A1

researchers don’t need to own their own sub or ROV, Rush said.

He compared it to chartering a private jet versus buying one.

Potential customers range from university scientists to tourists to petroleum companies to the state’s Department of Transportation, Rush said.

Using an ROV, for example, it might take a week to inspect the underwater pontoons supporting the Highway 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington, he said.

An ROV is connected to an operator by tether, which limits its range.

“You drop it down to inspect one pontoon, and then you have to pull it up again, and go to the next one,” he said. “In this thing, I can just go from one pontoon to the next without coming up,” greatly reducing the time needed to inspect the entire bridge.

The sub already can outbid ROVs for many jobs, he said.

That is why the University of Washington got involved, said Bob Miyamoto, a researcher at the school’s Applied Physics Lab. “It was what fit in our budget.”

The sub has had five dives so far as part of sea trials. The company expects testing to be finished by June.

Two more subs are planned, both made with carbon-fibercomposite hulls. The Cyclops 2 is to be ready in June 2016, followed by Cyclops 3 in January 2017.

The Washington Post WASHINGTON — The administration is investigating allegations that two senior Secret Service agents, including a top member of President Barack Obama’s protective detail, drove a government car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late-night party last week, an agency official said Wednesday.

Officers on duty who witnessed the March 4 incident wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests, according to a current and a former government official familiar with the incident. But the officers were ordered by a supervisor on duty that night to let the agents go home, said these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal matter.

Agency spokesman Brian Leary confirmed the investigation after an inquiry from The Washington Post, saying the Secret Service was “aware of the allegations of misconduct involving two of our employees.”

He declined to specify which allegations are the focus of the inquiry, which he said will be pursued by the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general.

Leary said officials have briefed Joseph Clancy, who was named

by Obama last month to head the agency following a string of embarrassing security lapses.

“If misconduct is identified, appropriate action will be taken based on established rules and regulations,” Leary said.

More chapters might have used racist chant Los Angeles Times

said in a statement that it is trying to find out if members of its SAE chapter have used the chant.

“Rumors also are circulating that a chant similar to the one at OU has been traditional in the UT chapter of SAE,” University of Texas in Austin President Bill Powers said in a statement.

“Our dean of students said Monday she is looking into this matter as is standard practice in such cases.”

National leaders of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and University of Texas officials are investigating whether the racist chant used in Oklahoma has been sung by members of other chapters.

SAE national leaders said “several other incidents with chapters or members have been brought to the attention of the headquarters staff and leaders, and each of those instances will be investigated for further action.”

Oklahoma University officials swiftly expelled Sigma Alpha Epsilon members Parker Rice and Levi Pettit this week after identifying them from a viral video as leaders of a fraternity

chant that said “there will never be a (n-word) SAE” and that also alluded to lynching black people.

Both college men, who are from Texas, apologized in public statements Tuesday, and one sentence in Rice’s apology raised eyebrows: “Yes, the song was taught to us.”

By whom?

In a statement, the national SAE headquarters responded to Rice’s remark to say, “The national fraternity does not teach such a racist, hateful chant, and this chant is not part of any education or training.”

But one of the Oklahoma

chapter’s co-founders, Jay Vinekar, has said that he had never heard similarly bigoted behavior since it was reestablished in 1995. A black former member of the chapter, William Bruce James II, told CNN he also hadn’t seen, heard or felt similar racism when he was a member from 2001 to 2004.

The outrage over the video that blanketed social media this week has been flecked by claims that the same chant has been heard at other campuses, with one Twitter user claiming she had heard the chant at Angelo State University in Angelo, Texas, as long ago as 1974.

Ferguson’s top cop resigns Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. — The police chief in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson resigned Wednesday in the wake of a scathing Justice Department report prompted by the fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-yearold by a white police officer.

Calling Chief Thomas Thomas Jackson Jackson an “honorable man,” Mayor James Knowles announced the city had reached a mutual separation agreement that will pay Jackson one year of his nearly $96,000 annual salary and health coverage.

Jackson’s resignation becomes effective March 19, at which point Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff will become acting chief while the city searches for a replacement.

Jackson had previously resisted calls by protesters and some of Missouri’s top elected leaders to step down over his handling of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown and the weeks of sometimes-violent protests that followed. He was widely criticized from the outset, both for an aggressive police response to protesters and for his agency’s erratic and infrequent releases of key information.

He took nearly a week to publicly identify Officer Darren Wilson as the shooter and then further heightened tension in the community by

releasing Wilson’s name at the same time as store security video that police said showed Brown stealing a box of cigars and shoving a clerk only a short time before his death.

Jackson submitted a foursentence letter in which he said he was announcing his resignation with profound sadness.

He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he felt it was time for the city to move on. “I believe this is the appropriate thing to do at this time,” Jackson said.

“This city needs to move forward without any distractions.”

During a 12-minute news conference, Knowles said Jackson resigned after “a lot of soul-searching” about how the community could heal from the racial unrest stemming from the fatal shooting last summer.

“The chief is the kind of honorable man you don’t have to go to,” Knowles said. “He comes to you when he knows that this is something we have to seriously discuss.”

Jackson becomes the sixth employee to resign or be fired after the U.S. Department of Justice last week issued the report that cleared Wilson of civil rights charges in the shooting but found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.

The acting head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division said the U.S. government remains committed to reaching a “court-enforceable agreement” to address Ferguson’s “unconstitutional practices,” regardless of who’s in charge of the city.

Iraqis move into Tikrit Associated Press BAGHDAD — Iraqi soldiers and allied Shiite militiamen swept into the Islamic State-held city of Tikrit on Wednesday, launching a twofront offensive to squeeze extremists out of Saddam Hussein’s hometown in a major test of the troops’ resolve.

Explosions and heavy gunfire echoed through Tikrit, a key way station for Iraqi forces trying to expel the militants who hold roughly a third of the country and neighboring Syria.

The offensive also will serve as a major crucible for Iraqi forces, which collapsed under the extremists’ initial offensive last year and now face streetby-street fighting in one of the Islamic State group’s biggest strongholds.

Iraqi forces first entered the city through its northern Qadisiyya neighborhood, according to video obtained

by The Associated Press. Overhead, an attack helicopter fired missiles as soldiers and militiamen laid down heavy machine gun fire in the neighborhood’s dusty streets as downtown Tikrit loomed in the distance.

Officials quickly established a supply line through the neighborhood to reinforce troops, Salahuddin police Brig.

Kheyon Rasheed told state-run Iraqiyya television. Authorities offered no casualty figures.

A local official in Iraq’s Salahuddin province confirmed that Iraqi troops entered Qadisiyya and raised the Iraqi flag over Tikrit’s general hospital.

Later Wednesday, allied forces also swept into Tikrit from the south in a pincer movement to squeeze out militants, though some suggested many already fled in the face of the advance, codenamed “At your service, prophet of Allah.”

“The terrorists are seizing the cars of civilians trying to leave

The virus causing a second wave of bird flu across China has mutated frequently and “should be considered as a major candidate to emerge as a pandemic strain in humans,” researchers reported Wednesday.

While it is much too early to predict whether that might happen, one of the scientists said, there is cause for alarm because the H7N9 virus jumps to humans more quickly than its predecessors and previously has been found in mammals.

“This virus is more dangerous,” said Yi Guan of the University of Hong Kong, one of the authors of a research letter published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

11 feared dead on military chopper JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — Human remains washed ashore along the Florida coast after a U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter vanished during a training mission Tuesday night with seven Marines and four Army soldiers aboard, the military said. Local law enforcement, the Coast Guard and military members from Eglin Air Force base outside Pensacola, where the helicopter’s flight originated, have been searching for debris since the helicopter was reported missing, an Air Force spokeswoman said. The Marines were from the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, a Camp Lejeune spokesman said. The soldiers were from a Hammond, Louisiana, National Guard unit.

California: Apple glitch Apple has restored service to its iTunes and app stores after a rare breakdown Wednesday. The outage vexed the iPhone and iPad maker for more than five hours, disrupting some of the world’s most widely used and profitable services and frustrating millions of music lovers and mobile device owners. Access came back in the afternoon, according to status updates posted

by Apple Inc. While they were locked out, exasperated Apple users vented in social media and online forums.

Massachusetts: Transit The Boston-area’s beleaguered public transit system board has voted to offer free fares for a day and discounts for pass holders to compensate riders for massive weather-related breakdowns.

Under the two-part plan approved Wednesday, cash customers using the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority trains, subways, buses and ferries would be able to ride free for one day, April 24. The second part of the plan calls for a 15 percent discount on purchases of monthly passes in May.

Texas: E-cigarette injuries

Iraqi soldiers and militia fire at a target in Tikrit, Iraq, on Wednesday.

the city and they are trying to make a getaway,” Rasheed said.

Tikrit, the capital of Salahuddin province, sits on the Tigris River about 80 miles north of Baghdad. Several of Saddam’s palaces remain there, as do remnants of his now-outlawed Baathist party. Many believe party members assisted the Islamic State group in its offensive last summer.

After the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, insurgent Baathists in Tikrit launched attacks on American forces. The same could happen to incoming Iraqi forces, who already faced sniper fire and mined roads.

Taking Tikrit would open a supply line for a future operation to besiege Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city that remains under Islamic State control. U.S. military officials have that said a mission to retake Mosul likely will begin in April or May and involve up to 25,000 Iraqi troops. But the

Americans have cautioned the offensive could be delayed.

Iranian military advisers have been helping guide Iraqi forces in their advance on Tikrit. Speaking Wednesday on Capitol Hill, U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey described the militias as “Iranian trained and somewhat Iranian equipped.”

Among those directing operations is Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of the powerful Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force. Frontline images have emerged of the general in recent days, showing him smiling in plainclothes without a bulletproof vest.

The overt Iranian role and the prominence of Shiite militias in the campaign have raised fears of possible sectarian cleansing should Tikrit, an overwhelmingly Sunni city, fall to the government troops.

“Iranians will try to calm the fears of the Sunnis instead of persecuting them because the

Iranian officials know that it is in their best interest to keep the Iraq united,” said Hadi Jalo, a Baghdad-based political analyst. “For the Iranians, it is easier to dominate one country instead of three separate states.”

The U.S. said its allied coalition carrying out airstrikes targeting the extremists has not been involved in the ongoing Tikrit offensive. Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has appealed for more aid for his country’s beleaguered ground forces, though the U.S. spent billions of dollars training and equipping Iraq’s army during its eight-year occupation.

A U.S. military official said that as of June 2014, the Iraqi military stood at 125,000 men at best, down from 205,000 in January 2014. Iraqi officials say that at least 30,000 men — including the military, militias, Sunni tribes and police — are fighting to capture Tikrit.

Bird flu could become ‘pandemic’ The Washington Post

ACROSS THE U.S.

It’s not clear why the outbreak, which began in late 2013, has re-emerged after fading. But by September 2014, it had infected 318 people and killed more than 100 of them, twice as many as the first wave, the scientists reported. Many people suffer severe pneumonia if infected by this flu, which also has spread to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Canada, according to the World Health Organization.

“What we don’t know from this paper is the significance of all these mutations that are accumulating as the virus persists and spreads,” Wendy Barclay, an expert in flu virology at Britain’s Imperial College London, told Reuters.

“This is especially relevant for human health — does any

of this change the pandemic potential of the virus?”

Another variant of bird flu, H5N1, has resulted in nearly 650 human cases in 15 countries since 2003.

Also Wednesday, the U.S. government said it had found a case of a different bird flu in Arkansas, part of an outbreak that appears to be spreading from commercial turkey flocks in Missouri and Minnesota. The H5N2 strain of avian influenza has not been found in humans and the risk to people is considered low, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

In China, researchers went to live poultry markets in 15 cities and determined that chickens were responsible for the rapid spread of the bird flu. Humans were infected in seven of the

cities where H7N9 viruses were found in chickens, they report.

With the flu probably spreading along poultry trade routes, “it is probable that the H7N9 virus is now present across most of China,” they wrote.

“Given the current pattern of dissemination, it will only be a matter of time before poultry movements spreads this virus beyond China by cross-border trade,” they said.

Guan said that authorities must take steps quickly to slaughter infected poultry, close live poultry markets and prevent export of the birds.

Unless that happens, the researchers wrote, “it is reasonable to expect the H7N9 and other viruses to persist and cause a substantial number of severe human infections.”

A man is suing the store where he bought two e-cigarette batteries after the devices exploded in his pocket, leaving him with severe burns on the lower part of his body. Attorneys for David Powell and his wife, Shaye, filed a lawsuit in Tarrant County civil court this week against Vixen Vapors, a store that specializes in e-cigarettes and associated products. The Arlington family is seeking more than $1 million in damages. The batteries, “suddenly and unexpectedly exploded, causing a scathing hot mixture of shrapnel” to burn the flesh on Powell’s thighs and genitals, court documents said.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: Election runs tight With less than a week remaining before elections, the race appears tighter than it has at any time since the start of the campaign, throwing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the defensive.

Three public opinion polls published Tuesday and Wednesday show Netanyau’s Likud party lagging by margins of three to four seats behind the center-left Zionist Union alliance. That gives Labor party leader Isaac Herzog, who formed the Zionist Union alliance with Tzipi Livni, a chance of unseating Netanyahu.

Turkey: Phantoms retired A military commander said Turkey is retiring its RF-4E Phantom reconnaissance planes, after two crashes killed four pilots last month. He said Wednesday that the air force had decided to ground the planes as of Thursday, retiring them months earlier than scheduled. Two RF-4E planes crashed into a mountain in Malatya during night training exercises Feb. 24. Nine days later, an F-4 Phantom jet crashed, killing its two pilots and raising questions about the safety of Turkey’s aging fleet.

Tanzania: Grisly accident At least 41 people have died after a long haul truck rammed into a bus in the Iringa region, officials said Wednesday. It’s not clear how many people are injured, police said, but survivors had been rushed to Iringa Hospital. Efforts to free some people who were trapped between the truck and bus were delayed because of lack of equipment, they said.

A government spokesman said the truck was heading from Mbeya to Dar es Salaam while the bus was heading in the opposite direction. “What I can explain on this accident is that this accident is grisly,” he said.

Air travel to rebound in spring Los Angeles Times With spring air travel expected to rise to the highest level since 2007, tourism leaders are calling on airlines to invest more of their profits on airport upgrades and to open the door to greater competition.

About 134.8 million passengers are expected to fly in March and April this year, a 2 percent increase over last year, according to a report released Wednesday

by Airlines for America, a trade group for the nation’s carriers. In 2007, 135.1 million passengers flew during that period.

The trade group attributes the increase in spring travel to “rising

U.S. employment and personal incomes, an improving economy, the highest consumer sentiment in a decade and the continued affordability of air travel,” said John Heimlich, chief economist for the group.

But the airline industry came under fire Wednesday by tourism leaders who say carriers are not doing enough to make air travel enjoyable.

“Every piece of evidence we have shows that our infrastructure is already straining under the current load, and that passengers are frustrated beyond words by overcrowded flights and delays in the terminal and on the tarmac,” said Roger Dow, president and

chief executive of the U.S. Travel Association, the trade group for the nation’s tourism industry.

The strain between the two groups is focused partly on a passenger facility charge on airfares that the Obama administration wants to increase from $4.50 per flight segment to $8. The travel association supports the higher fee to pay for airport improvements. The airlines say the higher fee will push down demand.

Another topic of dispute has been a call by three of the nation’s largest airlines to restrict access to the U.S. by international carriers from the Persian Gulf. United, Delta and American have argued that Qatar, Etihad and Emirates

airlines compete unfairly because they receive government subsidies. Several U.S. airlines are also urging the U.S. government to restrict new flights to the U.S. from budget carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle.

“We’re alarmed that the big three seem determined to stamp out competition and cling to the status quo, which fundamentally harms the consumer, particularly as demand grows,” Dow said.

Annual profit for the top 10 U.S. airlines rose to a combined $7.3 billion in 2014, representing a profit margin of 4.6 percent compared with a 3.2 percent profit margin in 2011 and 3.7 percent in 2012, according to U.S. statistics.

China’s push to cut coal The highly polluted nation is investing in wind, solar, natural gas and nuclear plants.

Lignite coal is mined at the Freedom Mine in Beulah, North Dakota, in 2007.

coal terminal on the Columbia River. Wyoming and Montana are appealing that decision.

All the terminals were proposed during the boom era for coal exports, and now their utility is being called into question.

In a report this week, a leading analyst warned that China’s demand for imported coal is likely to wane, at least for the next few years.

“The outlook for the Chinese coal industry remains considerably downbeat with persistent oversupply and weaker demand prospects going forward,” wrote Stephen Duck, a senior consultant with CRU, an international mining consulting company.

Pollution is one factor driving China’s reduced demand for coal.

Coal combustion is a major cause of the smog that blankets eastern China for most days of the year.

Coal is also China’s major source of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that Beijing has pledged to reduce under an agreement last year with President Barack Obama.

But there other reasons China

is souring on coal imports. As analysts note, China has excess capacity in its steel-building industry, a major user of coal.

China’s Communist Party wants to shrink that excess as part of a wider plan to shift its economy away from heavy industry toward more domestic consumption and technological innovation.

There are signs that China wants to limit imports of foreign coal to shore up its debt-ridden domestic coal industries.

“The Chinese government has implemented a number of trade policies in order to protect the country’s coal producers from foreign competition,” Duck said in his report Tuesday.

These include new tax policies on imported coal and tougher testing of trace elements in the shipments, he said.

For all these reasons, China’s use of coal dropped 2.9 percent last year and is expected to fall again this year. That will, in turn, affect imports of foreign coal.

Since the third quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2014, U.S. exports of coal worldwide

JAMES MACPHERSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

— largely to China — dropped from 31.6 million tons to 22.7 million, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Within the international energy sector, there’s wide debate on whether China has reached “peak coal” in terms of demand.

Although its economy is still growing faster than 7 percent a year, it’s investing heavily in wind, solar, natural gas, nuclear and other energies to reduce its reliance on the black stuff.

Even so, international mining companies insist that China’s demand for coal will stay strong.

China’s domestic coal tends to be of the “dirty” variety, relatively high in sulfur and other pollutants.

In addition, China has limited supplies of what’s known as “metallurgical coal,” a mineral high in carbon that’s used in the production of coke for steel making.

In Wyoming, lawmakers are so confident about coal exports that they recently granted a state agency the authority to issue up to $1 billion in bonds to finance the construction of coal ports in the Northwest.

Wall Street bonus average nears $173,000 The average bonus paid to securities industry employees in New York City grew 2 percent last year to nearly $173,000, New York’s state comptroller reported Wednesday. That’s the largest average Wall Street bonus since the 2008 financial crisis, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said, according to his office’s analysis, though the industry was slightly less profitable last year while adding 2,300 jobs. “One area that anecdotally we keep hearing is a growth sector is compliance,” DiNapoli said. The securities industry has been profitable for six consecutive years and had 167,800 workers in New York City in 2014, the report said.

That’s still 11 percent less than before the crisis.

Feds approve powdered alcohol A powdered alcohol intended to be mixed up into drinks has gained approval from a federal regulator. The product, called Palcohol, had received the greenlight from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau briefly last year before the bureau backtracked and said the label approvals had been given in error. On Wednesday, a bureau spokesman said issues were resolved and that four varieties of Palcohol were approved.

But he noted that states can also regulate alcohol sales in their borders. Concerns have included abuse by minors, the potential to snort the powder and whether Palcohol’s light weight would make it easy to sneak alcohol into public events or spike drinks.

McClatchy Newspapers BEIJING — As its national legislature adjourns this week, China has signaled it intends to further lower coal consumption, reducing pollution but also rocking coal-export industries from the Pacific Northwest to Australia.

China is the world’s largest energy user, with an economy heavily dependent on cheap, coal-generated power. Just three years ago, the U.S. and Australia were shipping record amounts of coal overseas to feed China’s voracious appetite.

Since then, China’s demand for coal has dropped, and it’s expected drop further, based on announcements of the last week in Beijing.

Premier Li Keqiang said China wanted to reduce energy intensity — the amount of energy used per unit of gross domestic product — by 3.1 percent this year. That translates to an annual reduction in coal usage of 176 million tons.

“Environmental pollution is a blight on people’s quality of life and trouble that weighs on their hearts,” Li said, speaking to the National People’s Congress. “We must fight it with all our might.”

China’s moves might have big implications for the Western United States, particularly Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana. Export industries have proposed at least five terminals in Washington and Oregon to ship coal to China from Wyoming and Montana. Boosters say the terminals will create thousands of jobs, but they all face organized opposition.

The Lummi Indian Nation has protested a proposed coal terminal near Bellingham, saying it could damage the tribe’s traditional fishing grounds. Last year, Oregon regulators cited fishery impacts in rejecting an Australian company’s bid to build a

FTC files suit against DirecTV The government is taking the nation’s biggest satellite TV provider to court, accusing DirecTV of misleading millions of consumers about programming costs. The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday its complaint charges DirecTV Inc. with deceptively advertising a 12-month programming package. Consumers weren’t clearly told that the package requires a two-year contract, the FTC said. It said the ads did not make clear that the cost of the package would increase by up to $45 more per month in the second year and that hefty early cancellation fees would apply.

Delta, the world’s thirdlargest airline, runs what it calls its “festival shuttle” with help from United Talent Agency, whose clients include actors Angelina Jolie and Benedict Cumberbatch. The flight to the South by Southwest music, technology and film festival is intended to show Hollywood there’s a worthy alternative to American Airlines, the world’s No. 1 carrier, and No. 2 United Airlines.

“The whole goal is about going after a really lucrative and very, very large and very, very unique revenue set,” said Ranjan Goswami, a vice president of sales for Delta.

Laura Masvidal, a spokeswoman for American Airlines Group, declined to comment on Delta’s shuttle gambit but suggested the carrier isn’t worried. “American is Hollywood’s preferred airline at LAX,” Masvidal said.

“Our employees know how to deliver an elegant, private experience for our most scrupulous customers and have been doing so for decades.”

The Forth Worth, Texas, airline sells the most expensive domestic ticket in the country, for a private front-cabin berth to New York from Los Angeles and San Francisco and back on a specially configured Airbus Group A321 jetliner. The price: more than $8,000. That’s a budget-buster for most road warriors but not unheard of for a senior figure in entertainment or media.

Delta, based in Atlanta, has been been going after the entertainment and media business in Los Angeles in earnest for two years, Goswami said.

Shares of the company rose 79 percent last year.

In October, it introduced a new nonstop to London in a partnership with Virgin Atlantic Airways, and it has since added flights to Vancouver, the Canadian city that’s a favorite of Hollywood studios and where they’ve shot dozens of movies and shows, including “The Interview” and “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

The steps were the latest “toward becoming the carrier of choice for Los Angeles’ entertainment and production communities,” Delta said in announcing the moves.

“Everything we are doing is centered around earning more of that very, very good quality business,” Goswami said. “They have productions that are

Walters, the producer who took the shuttle to Sundance, called it a “clever” idea and said it made him think twice about his loyalty to JetBlue Airways’ Mint flights to New York, which were introduced last year and have lie-flat seats. Delta, he said, “has moved up in our consciousness.”

Jason Yeh, a senior associate at the venture capital firm Greycroft Partners who’ll be on the plane to Austin, said he could see how the trip might lure frequent fliers.

“I think its a great opportunity for them to try to gain market share,” Yeh said, adding that the shuttle was an opportunity for him as well.

Dollar will soon be worth more than the euro

By Matt O’Brien The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — There’s a currency war going on, and the United States is losing. The latest setback is the news that the euro has fallen to a 12-year low of $1.07, down from as much as $1.39 just last year. That’s a 30 percent drop in 11 months, to be exact, and there’s no reason to expect it to stop anytime soon.

Now a strong dollar is good for anyone who’s planning a trip overseas, but it’s bad news for anyone who’s planning on selling stuff there. That’s why stocks fell, with the S&P 500 down 1.7 percent earlier this week and now negative on the year,

as multinationals that depend on foreign sales took another hit. After all, it’s not just the euro that’s falling against the dollar, but almost every other currency in the world, too — with Turkey and South Africa’s falling more than most earlier this week.

Why is the dollar up so much? Well, the simple story is that the stronger your economy, the stronger your currency. The slightly more complicated version, though, is that currencies go up when monetary policy is relatively tight, and down when it’s relatively loose.

Now these should just be different ways of saying the same thing — since central banks raise rates when growth is too strong

and cut them when it’s too weak — but that’s not always the case. Sometimes central banks make mistakes, like Europe did, and tighten policy when the economy is still weak, and sometimes they mistake zero interest rates, like Japan did, for easy policy when the economy is so weak it needs even more help than that.

But in any case, it’s a lot simpler now. The U.S. economy is doing well enough that it’s getting ready to raise rates, and the rest of the world is slowing down enough that it’s cutting them. Indeed, the not-so-short list of countries that have eased monetary policy the past few months, some of them multiple times, includes

Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Peru, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and, above all, the euro zone. It’s finally started buying bonds with newly printed money, aka “quantitative easing,” to try to get its economy out of the low inflation, low growth trap that it’s fallen into. And that’s not to mention the fact that Japan, which has been stuck in the same kind of one for the better part of two decades, has also been buying bonds this whole time, and recently started buying even more of them.

So it’s no surprise that the dollar is shooting up so much. Think about it like this. Would you rather

buy a U.S. 10-year bond that pays 2.13 percent or a German 10-year bond that only pays 0.235 percent?

That’s a pretty easy math question, and investors are answering it by dumping their euros to buy dollars.

And that’s not going to start changing until the U.S. and Europe’s monetary policies stop diverging. That’s why Deutsche Bank expects the euro to keep falling to $0.90 by the end of 2016 and $0.85 by the end of 2017.

So you might want to wait to book that trip, and, more importantly, the Fed might want to wait to raise rates. Even though unemployment is down to a normal-ish 5.5 percent, there’s no rush to normalize policy since there still isn’t any sign of inflation or

bubbly behavior. The Fed doesn’t want to be the only central bank raising rates — a strong dollar is like a tariff against our exports and a subsidy for our imports — unless it really has to, and right now it doesn’t.

The only way to lose a currency war is to refuse to fight it, and let yours go up too much. The dollar is already going to go up plenty more no matter what we do, but we can at least try to limit the damage.

Because sometimes a strong dollar is a weakness.

IN OUR VIEW | Fighting climate change

A path for carbon reduction Republican-backed legislation in the Senate meant to require the state’s utilities to reduce carbon emissions is worthy of praise. It’s just too bad those backing the legislation couldn’t show more confidence in why they proposed it in the first place.

Senate Bill 5735 passed Monday, 26-23, with some Democratic support, after a battle of amendments added a clause to the legislation that finds “that climate change is real and that human activity may contribute to climate change.” The emphasis on “may” is ours. Prior to adoption, Democrats in the Senate sought to add the sentence about climate change but wanted an unequivocal statement that human activity does contribute to climate change.

“Why have a bill?” Washington State Wire quoted Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland. “The whole point of reducing carbon emissions is to reduce the impacts of climate change.”

It’s a partial victory, but one that at least stands in contrast to Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott’s administration has reportedly instituted an unwritten rule barring the use of the phrase “climate change” by state agencies in reports and news releases.

And the tussle over wording threatens to distract from the intent of the bill and the good it could do.

Ferndale Republican Sen. Doug Ericksen proposed the legislation to amend Initiative 937, passed by voters in 2006 to require the state’s utilities to reach certain targets for obtaining electricity from renewable sources, such as wind power. The Snohomish Public Utility District so far has exceeded the initiative’s targets. Its 2014 report to the state Department of Commerce showed it invested $33 million in renewable energy sources that year, $11 million above its target.

Ericksen’s legislation, now

in the House, seeks to give utilities greater flexibility by shifting the emphasis from renewable energy to carbon reduction, giving the utilities credit for every half-metric ton of carbon saved or prevented from release into the atmosphere.

Some environmental groups, such as Climate Solutions, say the legislation weakens I-937 and lets utilities off the hook for investment in renewable energy sources.

But the intermittent nature of wind and solar has meant that back-up generators, fueled by natural gas, degrade some of those sources’ carbon-reduction gains. And the Pacific Northwest Utilities Conference Committee in its recent forecast found that wind will continue to represent the second-largest source of new energy development in the Northwest for the next 10 years.

If there’s a flaw in the legislation, as far as Snohomish PUD is concerned, it’s that

it’s too specific about how to reduce carbon and doesn’t allow for advancements in technology. The bill specifically suggests reducing carbon by conservation, installation of electric-vehicle charging stations, conversion of state ferries from diesel to liquefied natural gas and other methods. All, good ideas but not the only ones.

In the years since I-937 passed, technology, such as the next-generation battery system Snohomish PUD is now studying in its Modular Energy Storage Architecture pilot project, was proposed and has continued to advance.

Such energy storage technology would be a boon to wind, solar and other renewable sources by storing energy for use when generation wanes.

The House should amend the bill to allow credit for technologies yet to be developed.

And while they’re at it, they can be clearer about why carbon reduction is necessary.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ECONOMY

Apply basic math to rosy outlook I continually read and hear how the current administration has had the U.S. economy in “recovery” for years. Reading The Herald, and looking around the Everett and Marysville areas make me think that this type of recovery will lead to a depression. In The Herald on Feb. 7, an article headlined “Employers add 295,000 jobs” sounds great until you remember the that the Feb. 6 Herald had an article that reported 320,000 new jobless claims.

Higher jobless claims than new jobs created doesn’t sound like a growing economy to me. The Feb. 6 article was headlined, “Jobless claims unexpectedly move higher.”

When you wonder about the effect of these two articles, let your observations help you decide. As you go about your business, pay attention to a couple of indicators. See which sign you observe more often: “For sale or lease” on empty stores, office buildings and factories, or “Help wanted” on the same types of buildings?

If you still come to the conclusion that the economy is growing, take a look at another indicator. The federal government publishes a ton of statistics. Look up the statistics concerning the percentage of the total population that is employed. That should open your eyes even more.

‘Open letter’ reeks of hubris I search for words to express the depth of disgust I feel toward the Senate Republicans’ so-called “open letter” to Iran and come up short. The intentional sabotage of the president’s efforts to work with our allies to reduce the risk of a nuclear Iran is a sophomoric prank that reeks of stupidity and hubris. A virtual mooning of the president. That Sens.

McConnell and McCain, who should have some sense of the duties of decorum and statesmanship that accompany election to high office, have chosen to join the list of gormless poltroons signing the letter is disappointing.

■■DAYLIGHT

We should stick with saving time Finally we are reverting back to daylight saving time. We set our clocks ahead and get up an hour earlier. I think we should keep it this way and never go back to standard time. Most of Arizona, which is on the border of two time zones, does not change its time either. In winter it is on mountain standard time, keeping it in the same time zone as New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. In summer, it is the same time zone as California and Nevada. Because we are so far north, we have a much shorter day in winter.

■■INVESTIGATIONS

Where’s report on school district?

I read with amazement The Herald’s coverage of the investigation of city councilman Ron Gipson at his place of employment, the Denny Juvenile Justice Center — not so much for his alleged behavior, but for the fact that The Herald was able to get a copy of the investigation reports.

Last fall, the Everett School District also conducted an investigation. They invited former special education employees to come in and speak to the “investigator” regarding possible misconduct and abuses by that department’s administrative staff. Many former special education teachers eagerly came forward and voiced their complaints. They were hopeful that this would lead to some justice for the kids who, in their opinion and over the years, have been harmed.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the district’s “investigation” was conducted by an attorney, the ensuing report has been classified, CIA-style, as attorney “work product” and off-limits to disclosure.

I’m hopeful, however, that The Herald may be able to prevail with its sword of truth and justice, especially since in the Gipson article you note you obtained the reports “through state public records laws.” Since the Denny/Gipson investigation was also conducted by an attorney, you must have invoked some public records law (one unknown to me) that

■■SEAFOOD RULES

Always clean crab before cooking Regarding Jan RobertsDominguez’s Wednesday column on cooking Dungeness crab: She gives bad advice on cooking live crab. Quoting from Washington Sport Fishing Rules on “Safe Handling Practices”: Cooking, rinsing or freezing does not destroy all pollutants.

Crab can also concentrate pollutants in their internal organs (crab butter.) Clean crab before cooking. Eat only the meat.”

Cleaning just before cooking keeps the crab fresh and yields sweeter, untainted meat. To clean, remove the long, narrow flap; after striking the underside of the shell with a heavy knife or cleaver along the midline, remove the back shell. Fold the remaining in half along the midline and separate the two halves. Shake out the guts. Boil, per Jan’s recommendation, 20 to 30 minutes in salted water. Note: One or two crabs don’t need “several gallons” of water. Use a pot that fits the crabs with maybe an inch and a half of water over the top. Start timing after the water reboils.

Senate GOP foils Obama and own goals

W

ith a few tweaks to Scripture, herewith today’s relevant verse: What therefore President Obama hath joined together, let Republicans put asunder.

The letter from 47 Republican senators to Iran’s leaders proffering a civics lesson on the U.S. Constitution has predictably triggered outrage. In KATHLEEN PARKER a sneeringly adolescent tone, the senators basically said that Obama will be gone in two years and they’ll still be here. In other words, any agreement could be null in January 2017.

The letter was a bad but not apocalyptic idea and illustrates one of the more dangerous aspects of Washington’s indigenous narcissistic disorder. The world does not revolve around one’s own exclusive perspective or wisdom — she wrote, ironically.

It must be relatively simple as one clips along the marble halls of the Russell Building, speaking only to those of like mind, to decide that undermining the president is a public service. Hating the president isn’t personal; it’s a national imperative! He’s not our leader, after all.

Therefore, he shall not be allowed to lead.

Collateral damage? Well, such is the toll we pay for truth, justice and My Way. Yes, the preceding paragraph could as easily have been written about the president, whose approach to governance has become an executive action (or agreement, in this case) and a pen. The disorder isn’t unique to one party and is, apparently, highly contagious.

Sen. Tom Cotton, the freshman senator from Arkansas, whom Salon anointed “Sarah Palin with a Harvard degree,” led the charge not only against Iran but also against the president of the United States, not to mention our allies.

Iran quickly dismissed the letter as “propaganda.” Democrats were forced into a partisan corner. Even the seven heroic Republicans who declined to sign the letter have been undermined as they fix their sights on a longer-term strategy to derail a bad deal.

Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who did not sign the letter, has sponsored what he hoped would be a veto-proof bill requiring congressional approval of any deal with Iran. But to be veto-proof, he needs Democrats.

Nice going, guys.

In the great meanwhile, inching up to the March 24 framework deadline with Iran, there is as yet no deal to protest nor details to fret about.

So what was the rush to tell Iran, essentially, ”You’re wasting your time”?

The 47 senators are like food critics who condemn a chef before he’s finished preparing the entree. Their letter also signals to the world that they have zero respect for our president, nor for the other world powers attempting to try diplomacy first.

This cannot have been helpful to any but the signees’ legendary standing in their own minds.

In comments about the letter, his lips stretched a little tighter than usual, Obama suggested that the 47 were seeking “common cause” with Iran’s hard-right religious leaders.

The foregoing observations don’t mean that Republicans are wrong about their concerns. Many Democrats are concerned, too. No American disagrees that Iran is a bad actor undeserving of faith or trust. But there are other ways to accomplish our goals than profiling for political profit. The 47 may have felt like Zorro inking their opposition with the bold felt tips of their swords, but they were acting like children at the school fair whose single purpose is to dunk the principal.

No one is jockeying for a bad deal, plainly. And everyone at the table and beyond knows that the U.S. and Israel will not allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

Period. Thus, an attempt at a diplomatic agreement is more than a hedge against the unthinkable — a nuclear-armed Iran.

It is a message to the world that if and when we do take military action, it will be as a last resort.

At least we tried.

Washington sues Super Bowl ticket seller

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Washington state filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a Super Bowl ticket seller for taking orders for more than $149,000 tickets and then telling customers at the last minute it could not fill them.

The state had received 24 complaints about New York-based SBTickets regarding 60 tickets sold to Washington residents. The lawsuit contends the company violated the state’s Consumer Protection Act.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson said the company was planning on buying tickets at the last minute, in hopes of lastminute bargains, but ticket prices continued to rise until game time.

Ferguson is asking King County Superior Court to force the company to reimburse its customers for travel and lodging costs as well as the ticket price and to pay penalties of up to $2,000 per incident.

Most of the ticket buyers told the attorney general’s office they received reimbursement for their tickets weeks after the Super Bowl.

The state of Washington has received more than 100 complaints about deceptive Super Bowl ticket practices; SBTickets was just the worst offender, Ferguson said during the news conference.

Complaints have come in concerning 30 to 35 ticket sellers, with three or four brokers the target of 10 or more complaints. More lawsuits could be filed in the future, Ferguson said.

This year’s Super Bowl game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots in Glendale, Arizona, set records for

the high cost of Super Bowl tickets in the secondary market.

SBTickets sold Super Bowl tickets for between $1,875 and $3,500 per ticket, according to the complaint.

“While not disclosing it to Washington consumers, defendant SBTickets was a short seller of Super Bowl tickets,” the state wrote in the lawsuit.

A short-seller sells an item the seller does not own at the time of sale, but plans to buy in the future from a third party, the lawsuit explained.

A phone call and email to the company asking for comment

was not immediately returned.

The attorney general’s office encouraged other consumers who experienced similar situations with SBTickets or another broker to file a complaint.

“The complaints are very critical for us to do our job,” Ferguson said. “If folks have not complained, they still should.”

He called SBTickets a scammer and said consumers should be very careful before they put down a lot of money to buy tickets online.

“It’s a buyer-beware situation for consumers right now,” Ferguson said.

New command staff for Seattle police Senate OKs bill cutting tuition Associated Press

SEATTLE — Seattle’s police chief has announced a new leadership team.

Chief Kathleen O’Toole said on the agency’s website that she has picked two assistant chiefs from within the department and two from outside to serve on her command staff.

The overhaul is O’Toole’s most significant personnel move since she became chief in June.

O’Toole and Mayor Ed Murray introduced the team Wednesday.

Lesley Cordner and Steve Wilske, both veterans of the Seattle Police Department, will join the command staff.

Robert Merner comes from the Boston Police Department’s Investigative Bureau and Perry Tarrant recently served as coordinator for the City of Yakima’s gang-free initiative.

A former Amazon executive, Greg Russell, will become the new chief information officer.

Warm February takes toll on snowpack

SEATTLEPI.COM

Hiker Mike Naiman surveys the closed Snoqualmie Pass ski area Feb. 9. Warm temperatures and lack of snowfall in February have taken a toll on winter snowpack in the Cascade Range and other areas in the West, the Natural Resources Conservation Service said Wednesday. A third of monitoring sites in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada reported the lowest snowpack ever measured as of March 1, and some sites didn’t have snow, which is unusual for this time of year.

OLYMPIA — The Washington Senate passed a bill Wednesday to cut tuition at the state’s public universities and community colleges.

Senate Bill 5954, which passed on a 37-12 bipartisan vote, would link tuition at state schools to a percentage of the average wage for Washington workers. It will now be considered by the House.

Tuition would be highest at the state’s two research universities, Washington State University and the University of Washington. At lower tiers, the state’s regional universities and community colleges would have their tuition rates set to lower percentages of the state’s average wage.

The bill’s lead sponsor, Republican Sen. John Braun of Centralia, said tuition increases of recent years need to be undone to keep college affordable for Washingtonians.

“We’ve seen tuition rise at a rate that is just crushing for the middle class,” Braun said.

According to a report from the College Board, tuition at Washington’s public universities increased more during the recession than in any other state than Arizona, but still isn’t close to the highest public university tuition in the nation. From 2008 to 2014, Washington’s average in-state tuition increased by $4,085 in inflation-adjusted dollars.

The Legislature gave universities permission to raise tuition by double digit rates during the recession to make up for doubledigit cuts in state appropriations for higher education. From 2008 to 2013, tuition and fees in Washington state rose 37 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars, while state dollars going to higher education were cut by nearly 28 percent.

Students and parents caught up a little this year and last after the Legislature froze tuition for two school years.

If it passes in this legislative session, the bill would be in effect for the fall 2015 semester.

Senate passes bill to revamp payday loan industry

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The Washington state Senate passed a bill Tuesday night that would reshape the state’s short-term loan laws in response to industry demands.

By a 30-18 bipartisan vote, senators approved a bill by Democratic Sen. Marko Liias of Lynnwood that would abolish the existing system, which allows two-week payday loans of up to $700 with 36 percent annual interest up to eight times in 12 months.

In its place, Senate Bill 5899 would create a system where lenders could offer loans with monthly and other fees and a similar interest rate charged for up to six months.

The new model is based on a system created by Colorado five years ago.

“This is part of the way we built a financial model where these products can be offered in our state,” Liias said. “The market can sustain them.”

Seattle-based Moneytree lobbied on behalf of the bill. It now moves to the House, where a

companion bill is pending.

The measure passed only after more than two hours of debate that stretched past 10 p.m. and required an official vote to keep the Senate floor open. Democrats proposed dozens of amendments that would have cut the interest rates and fees attached to the short-term loans.

“We are creating a situation where people will default and will continue to put themselves in a greater and greater cycle of debt,” said Sen. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Seattle who proposed several of the amendments.

Most of them failed after Liias said they would harm the industry’s viability, which would leave those in need short on places to go for money.

“We ended the payday industry and replaced it with something that’s lower cost for most borrowers,” Liias said.

He and Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, both spoke of times in their lives when they had turned to high-interest short-term loans as reasons to keep the products available.

“I was grateful for the opportunity,” Roach said. “I could still

hold my head up. I didn’t have to ask relatives for money.”

Opponents called the loans exploitative of vulnerable people who may not understand how many charges are piled into the loans, including origination fees, a monthly fee and interest on the outstanding balance.

“I’ve not heard anyone other than two members of this chamber stand up proudly to support this bill,” said Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland.

“I think I know why. It’s because the rates in this are nothing short of usury.”

Boy, 15, arrested in kidnapping SPRAGUE — A 15-yearold boy was arrested Wednesday in connection with the attempted kidnapping of a 22-monthold toddler that was caught on surveillance video in Sprague, about 40 miles west of Spokane. The teenage boy, who lives in Sprague, was identified through the

use of surveillance video, interviews and evidence collection, Lincoln County Sheriff Wade Magers said.

One of the kidnap victim’s young siblings positively identified the suspect, Magers said.

The 15-year-old was booked into a juvenile detention facility on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping, Magers said.

The case drew wide attention when surveillance video footage showed a male running down a sidewalk with the toddler in his arms Sunday.

The child’s two siblings screamed and chased him.

The scene ended after two teenage boys joined the chase, and the man put down the toddler and fled.

Showdown letdown

M’s Olson has been surprise of spring Gonzaga alum is emerging as a leading candidate to win a spot in the bullpen.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

the schedules the rest of the way — the Winterhawks have two games in hand and a considerably easier schedule in terms of opponents — Everett’s chance at raising its first banner since 2007 may have just slipped away.

“For the first time this year the ball is out of our hands,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine lamented. “Now Portland controls its destiny and we need other teams to win.

“It certainly wasn’t a lack of a team that wanted to do well,” Constantine added. “This was very important to our players. I just thought it looked like they had a better ability to play in a big-game environment, probably based on the fact that’s where they’ve been the past five years. A big game is a normal game for them. I didn’t think we had a great response to a big game, not because we didn’t care but because didn’t have much experience at it.”

PEORIA, Ariz. — Every camp seems to a produce a Cinderella in March and, among the Seattle Mariners, lefty Tyler Olson is first in line to see whether the slipper fits.

Olson, at 25, is in camp as a non-roster invite less than two years after his selection in the seventh round of the 2013 draft following a standout collegiate career at Gonzaga.

He is also a starting pitcher whose pro numbers, while solid, are hardly eye-popping. Yet, as the Mariners move through the mid-point of camp, Olson is emerging as a leading candidate to win a bullpen job.

“I’m just trying to do what I can right now,” he said, “to show the people who need to see what I’ve got that I can go out there and do what I need to do to make a squad.”

Olson faced nine batters in his Tyler Olson: two outings so far. “I’m just going Retired all nine; out there five by strikeout. and trying He fanned the side to compete.

“He’s pitched well,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I like what I see, but it’s a long spring.

He’ll continue to pitch. He’s competing just like the rest of those guys.”

The search for Joe Beimel’s replacement as the bullpen’s second lefty, alongside Charlie Furbush, is the most wide-open competition in camp.

The Mariners entered the offseason with Lucas Luetge on their 40-man roster and soon began adding candidates. They claimed Edgar Olmos from Miami and selected David Rollins from Houston in the Rule 5 Draft.

Two veteran additions arrived in February on minor-league deals: Rafael Perez and Joe Saunders. That came shortly after the Mariners chose to include Olson among their minor-league invites.

“He has a really good changeup,” farm director Chris Gwynn said, “and he changes eye location. He knows what he’s doing.”

Pivotal matchup turns one-sided as Portland dismantles Everett 6-1

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

The Silvertips’ Carson Stadnyk battles in front of Winterhawks goaltender Adin Hill on Wednesday night at Xfinity Arena in Everett.

EVERETT — The Portland Winterhawks made an emphatic statement Wednesday night: The WHL’s U.S. Division is still ours to lose.

In what could be the decisive moment in the race for the division title, the Winterhawks left little to doubt as they blew out the Everett Silvertips 6-1 at Xfinity Arena.

Everett came into Wednesday’s game with a four-point lead in the standings over Portland. A victory would have put the Tips in position to end the reign of the Winterhawks, who have won the last two division championships and three of the past four.

But the showdown anticipated heading into the game never materialized as Portland outclassed Everett with its skill and speed. The Tips still lead the division race by two, but given

‘One stupid risk’ forged path for Sounders GM Lagerwey

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Sounders general manager Garth Lagerwey (center) talks on the sideline as he observes a practice in February.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

|

EATTLE — If not for being a dutiful junior associate at a big law firm who said yes to working on Christmas nine years ago, Garth Lagerwey probably wouldn’t be the new general manager of the Seattle Sounders.

But we’ll get back to that in a second.

First, why, after six wildly successful seasons in Major League Soccer, were the Sounders even in the market for a new GM? After all, generally when a professional sports franchise is making a significant front office change, it is either because that team is losing, or because somebody

to shuffle things within the organization, “because Garth wasn’t available earlier.”

If Hanauer was looking for someone who could live up to the Sounders’ incredibly high standards, Lagerwey is the perfect fit.

The former professional player turned lawyer turned soccer executive helped turn Real Salt Lake into one of the league’s model franchises, and he did that with far fewer resources than he’ll have at his disposal in Seattle.

NBA: Union won’t agree to salary cap smoothing Associated Press NEW YORK — The NBA says the Players Association has informed the league that it won’t agree to smoothing the salary cap when new national TV deals create a significant spike in revenue.

The league’s new contracts begin in 2016-17 and will be worth more than $2.6 billion. Because the salary cap is tied to revenues, that will cause it to soar in the first season, giving many teams spending money they otherwise wouldn’t have.

To prevent that, the league has sought to set a cap figure that would lead to gradual increases.

t might be a small event compared to others in the area, but Saturday’s friendly, local, Hot Plug’s Blackmouth Derby proved big in quality. Beautiful fishing weather brought brisk ticket sales, and 94 anglers — compared to 84 last year — answered the bell.

The first-place fish, a 15.12 pound hatchery beauty, would be a more than respectable entry at any of Puget Sound’s larger derbies, and far outstripped last year’s 12.11-pound Hot Plug’s winner. It was caught by Terry Pitt of Sedro-Woolley, off the north end of Camano Island on a spoon, earning a $2,350 payout.

Second place and $940 went to Ron Lampers, a familiar name on the local derby circuit.

Lampers nailed his money fish on the Whidbey side of Saratoga Passage, on herring. Third, at 10.05 pounds and worth $705, went to Glenn Helton of Sedro-Woolley, at Greenbank, on a squid; and fourth, at 9.14 pounds and worth $470, went to Jack McKeehan of Arlington, who caught his blackmouth at the racetrack, on a spoon.

Derby coordinator Ed Keller said the weather was the best “we’ve had in a very long time; flat as glass and sunny. My boat even caught two fish — one at 9 pounds and another at 6 pounds, right off Pebble Beach.”

Keller said 13 fish were weighed in, almost doubling last year’s seven-fish field.

For a photo of the winning fish, visit www.heraldnet.com/ huntingandfishing.

It’s a little early to break out the trolling gear for Lake Stevens kokanee, according to Greg Rockenbach at Greg’s Custom Rods in Lake Stevens. Water temperatures currently are in the 45-degree range and Rockenbach said the rule of thumb is 50 to 52 degrees to trigger trolling action.

But, he said, the fish are jumping, and when that happens, it’s jig fishing time — a happy, hands-on way to enjoy the sunshine, a day on the water, and maybe hook a kokanee or two.

Everett’s up Next on the calendar is this weekend’s ninth annual Everett Blackmouth Derby, offering $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second and $500 for third. It’s limited to 100 boats, four anglers per boat, with fishing allowed in Marine Areas 9, 8-2 and 8-1.

But if you’re interested, better move on this. As of noon Wednesday, derby coordinator Woody Woods said he knew of just four tickets left — one at Bayside Marine and three at John’s Sporting Goods.

For the latest numbers, call Woods at 425-501-4024.

Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center said he was sold out.

Other ticket outlets include Greg’s Custom Rods, Ed’s Surplus, Three Rivers Marine, Performance Marine and Harbor Marine. Tickets are $100 per boat. The derby weighed 50 fish last year and was won by a blackmouth of 12.42 pounds, cleaned weight.

All Star Charters owner Gary Krein in Everett said the best derby fishing probably will be the western portion of Marine Area 9: Port Townsend, Point No Point, and Double Bluff. His boat took a nice 14-pounder at the Tin Shed portion of Possession Bar on Monday, plus another keeper and released an unclipped chinook. The big one was caught right on bottom, on a Kingfisher Lite, 3½-inch spoon in Irish cream color pattern.

“Fishing has definitely improved over what it was two weeks ago in the local area,” Krein said. “There are a few nice fish in Saratoga Passage and other places, but the Port Townsend area will probably produce best.”

now was as good of a time to make a transition as any.

“We had a bunch of success, and there was no urgency,” Hanauer said. “I had fun doing it — fun may be the wrong word — I enjoyed it, but I also wanted a bit of my life back, and I was looking for the right guy who could take what we had built and some of the value that I brought to the initial phase of the club, and sort of take that and run with it.

“I know myself well enough to know my strength is not long-term operating, managing from a plan, discipline of day-to-day management, some of those things — I’m good at creating. And Garth was the perfect guy to take that on.”

But if you think the decision to shuffle things up when so much has gone right for the Sounders is odd, just wait until you hear how Lagerwey even became a soccer executive in the first place.

Which brings us back to a young lawyer working over the holidays.

After a five-year playing career, mostly as a backup goalkeeper in MLS and other leagues, Lagerwey retired just in time to enroll at Georgetown Law School before his LSAT scores expired. That led to the job at a big firm, Latham & Watkins, which led to a question that, while he couldn’t have known it at the time, would change Lagerwey’s career path in a big way.

“In 2006, a partner came to me and said, ‘hey do you want to work over Christmas?’”

What you need is a half-ounce Kokanator, Rockenbach said, a jig that looks like a smaller version of a Point Wilson Dart. Popular colors include pink, pink/white and orange.

The fish are scattered, Rockenbach said, but a good place to start might be the “purple pennant” — aka Sunset Park — the second point south of the Lake Stevens launch ramp. The fish should be in the top 20 feet of the water column, Rockenbach said.

Woods said a 20-plus-pounder was caught Sunday off Liplip Point, on the south end of Marrowstone Island, and that he and a friend were out for a boat ride Monday and marked some fish at Hat Island.

Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s said the Port Townsend-Marrowstone Island area has definitely been putting out the best reports recently.

Next Derby Coming right on the heels of the Everett event is the Stanwood Eagles Derby, scheduled for April 18-19, with tickets and fliers available next week at most local outlets.

North of Falcon Salmon run forecasts have been issued by Northwest fish managers as part of the North of Falcon season-setting process. Briefly, some of the more important numbers are as follows: ■ Should be another good pink year, with a forecast for more than 6.5 million humpies in 2015, roughly the same number as in 2013.

■ Fall chinook returning to the Columbia River should number about 900,000 fish, which would be the third-largest run on record. More than 600,000 of those fish are “upriver brights,” many of which form the Hanford Reach sport fishery in October.

■ Ocean fishermen, both charter customers and private boat owners, will find about the same fishing on the coast as they did last year. The forecast for chinook (lower river “tules) on the coast is up slightly from last year, but coho numbers are predicted to be down about 20 percent.

■ Another solid run of coho is

Lagerwey said. “And as any good junior associate at a corporate law firm would, I said, ‘Of course sir, why would I want to see my family over such a minor holiday.’

He wouldn’t tell me what I’d be working on until I said yes.”

The deal, it turned out, was helping a client buy a piece of ownership in the St. Louis Blues. And the owner of the Blues at the time, Dave Checketts, happened to also own Real Salt Lake. The deal took six months to close, which meant in that time Lagerwey got to know Checketts pretty well.

Also in that time, RSL fired its general manager, and hired a young head coach named Jason Kreis, who just happened to be a close friend of Lagerwey’s having played with him at Duke and on two different teams professionally.

“Dave had positive interaction with me and had a need, so he said, ‘hey, do you want to interview for the RSL job?’” Lagerwey said. “Of course he had hired Jason Kreis as his coach, and Jason and I had played together in college and played in the pros and knew each other since we were 16, so I’m sure he put in a good word that didn’t hurt either, so that’s how I got back into sports.

“Life’s about luck and timing, and I certainly had to get lucky to get asked to work on the project over Christmas, although I didn’t feel that way at the time. And it’s about timing, because one of my best friends in the world gets hired as head coach while I’m working on the deal, and they fire their general manager. So all that stuff was lucky and the timing was right.”

And now that luck and timing have taken Lagerwey from player to lawyer to general manager in Salt Lake to Seattle, he sees his latest job, while similar in title, as being very different from the one he took in 2007 when he and Kreis helped build RSL into a winning franchise. The Sounders have barely touched their roster since Lagerwey got here, which makes sense considering Seattle had the best record in the league last season.

Instead, Lagerwey is focused on the team’s long-term success. As he put it, Hanauer and company ran one hell of a sprint to build the Sounders to this point, but in doing so they missed some pieces of the foundation along the way.

Now it’s Lagerwey’s job to work on the

Very Big Bass Berkley’s Fishing Wire tells an interesting story about bass fishermen in Texas, who came out in droves last week — the first decent weather Texans (and a lot of other folks in the South and East) had seen in a long time. The result would knock local bass anglers to their knees: three bass weighing 15.18 pounds, 13.05 pounds, and 14.32 pounds. All three of the monsters were caught on the same day, Saturday, two on Lake Sam Rayburn and one on Lake Ray Roberts.

The largest bass was 26.25 inches long and 21.5 inches in girth. It took a jerkbait in 14 feet of 45-degree water.

franchise, from the youth academy to the new S2 minor-league team to the main club to build a organization that can win and grow for years to come.

“The first time I talked to the guys here, I said, ‘the one thing I’m not going to try to do is make this my team,’” Lagerwey said.

“That may sound counterintuitive, but the whole point was, if I’m taking on a management challenge, how do I get the best out of the people who are here, and how do I learn from what they’re already doing well and hopefully layer on top of that the stuff that I do pretty well, and then wind up with a bigger whole? So we’re going to be conservative with how we changed things or how we tweak things, because this is a really good team that is coming off a really good season.

“A lot of what I’m doing is long-term. It’s reorienting the youth academy, vertically integrating the youth academy and S2 and the first team, then creating consistency across the organization and unity in terms of style of play and philosophy of play and those kinds of things. The idea is basically to strengthen the foundations, even if the stuff visible at the tip of the iceberg isn’t that much different.”

Hanauer, the rest of Seattle’s ownership, coach Sigi Schmid, sporting director Chris Henderson and a lot of other people deserve a ton of credit for building the Sounders into what they have become. Lagerwey now hopes to help one of the league’s best franchises to even greater heights.

“I’ve got big shoes to fill in terms of the job that Adrian did and how good a GM he was and how creatively he thought, and how influential he is,” Lagerwey said. “People say, ‘are you threatened by that?’ No, those are resources for me now, we’re on the same team. But the standard is really, really high.

“People thought I was nuts to join a team that won two trophies the year before, and there’s probably some truth to that, but most people thought I was nuts for leaving the cushy law firm track to join the worst team in the league in a league that, at the time, people thought was potentially failing.

I guess I took one stupid risk that worked out, why not try another one?”

Nuts or not, it beats working on Christmas.

predicted for Puget Sound, up 20,000 fish from last year, but central and south Sound are expected to benefit the most.

■ The forecast for summer/ fall chinook in the Sound is down somewhat from last year, at a return of about 208,000 fish. The hatchery kings in this run make up the very popular mid-summer fishery in Marine Areas 9 and 10, and it’s iffy whether or not sport fishing supporters in the North of Falcon process can negotiate a longer season and more generous limit than was the scenario last summer. In 2014, anglers had a 30day fishery and a one-hatcherychinook limit. Charter owner Gary Krein said sport activists will try for what was the previous norm: 45 days and a two-fish limit, but that the outlook for that happening is dim.

■ The forecast of 165,000 sockeye still falls short of the 350,000 fish minimum needed to consider a recreational fishery for Lake Washington.

■ There should be plenty of sockeye returning to Baker Lake, but a harvest plan assuring a fair split of the catch is still being debated.

MARINERS | Update

Suh finalizes $114M deal with Dolphins Associated Press The free agency frenzy, trading outbreak and stunning retirements of the first day of the NFL’s business year gave way to one headliner Wednesday: Ndamukong Suh. Miami signed the All-Pro defensive tackle and top prize in this year’s free agent crop to a $114 million, six-year contract.

It made Suh the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, surpassing J.J. Watt’s $100 million, six-year deal with Houston.

The agreement includes an NFL-record $60 million guaranteed, and it’s a wise investment, according to Omaha billionaire Warren Buffett. When he heard about the deal with the former Nebraska Cornhuskers star,

Buffett phoned Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.

“Warren said, ‘Congratulations, you’re getting a great person. Take good care of him, because he’s going to mean a lot to you,’” Ross said.

Suh’s news conference overshadowed the signing of free agent cornerback Brice McCain to a $5.5 million, two-year deal.

While Suh was leaving the NFC North, one of the prime offensive tackles on the market was staying there.

Green Bay re-signed right tackle Bryan Bulaga, ensuring that the NFL’s highest-scoring team will keep its entire offense intact for 2015. The deal is believed to be for five years and $34 million, with an $8 million signing bonus.

Some second-tier quarterbacks were on the move Wednesday.

The Jets acquired Ryan Fitzpatrick from Houston. Fitzpatrick, 32, is expected to push Geno Smith for the starting job with New York.

Brian Hoyer, formerly of the Browns, signed with Houston and will compete with Ryan Mallett with the Texans. Mallett was re-signed earlier this week.

In other moves Wednesday ■ Chicago agreed to terms with linebacker Pernell McPhee on a fiveyear contract.

■ Cincinnati refortified its offensive line be re-signing guard Clint Boling and tackle Eric Winston, the president of the players’ union.

■ Tampa Bay released defensive end Michael Johnson, an expensive

free agent the Bucs added last year, and tackle Anthony Collins. They also agreed to a four-year, $20.5 million deal with linebacker Bruce Carter.

■ St. Louis traded with Houston for backup quarterback Case Keenum and also re-signed tight end Lance Kendricks.

■ Minnesota re-signed defensive tackle Tom Johnson and added quarterback Shaun Hill to back up Teddy Bridgewater.

■ New England added to its receiving group by signing Brandon Gibson and Kevin Dorsey and re-signing Brian Tyms.

■ Oakland bulked up its defense with defensive tackle Dan Williams and LB Curtis Lofton.

■ Philadelphia added cornerback Walter Thurmond on a one-year contract.

■ Tennessee agreed to terms with wide receiver Harry Douglas and signed safety Da’Norris Searcy.

■ Washington signed defensive lineman Stephen Paea.

Comedian Ferrell plans to play every position while appearing for 10 teams in 5 games today Herald news services PHOENIX — Will Ferrell plans to play ball in spring training — and play ball and play ball and play ball.

The comedian plans to play every position while making appearances at five Arizona spring training games on Thursday. He will play for all 10 teams involved, HBO and Major League Baseball announced Wednesday.

The star of "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," ''Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Elf," among other movies, will travel to the Phoenix suburbs of Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Glendale and Peoria via helicopter. The event will be filmed for an upcoming HBO special in conjunction with

the Funny or Die website cofounded by Ferrell.

HBO said Ferrell is dedicating his special to fighting cancer.

Ferrell is doing the stunt to honor Bert “Campy” Campaneris, the former Kansas City A’s shortstop who played every position for the team in a 1965 game against the California Angels.

Starting times for four of the games were adjusted to make Ferrell's barnstorming tour possible.

Memorabilia collected during Ferrell's tour will be auctioned off at MLB.com, with proceeds going to College of Cancer and Stand Up to Cancer, according to HBO. "Will is a big fan of our game," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement, "and many of us in baseball — among

our clubs, players and our millions of fans — are big fans of his.

Major League Baseball is happy to take part in what will surely be a fun and memorable day for a great cause."

Ferrell is to appear in the following games: Seattle MarinersOakland Athletics to start at 12:05 p.m. ; Chicago Cubs-Los Angeles Angels at 1:10 p.m.; Cincinnati Reds-Arizona Diamondbacks at 2:10 p.m., San Francisco GiantsChicago White Sox at 4:05 p.m.; and Los Angeles Dodgers-San Diego Padres at 6:15 p.m.

Ferrell will play second base for the Mariners.

"This latest collaboration is one of those things only Will could pull off," Michael Lombardo, HBO's president for programming, said in a news release. "I can't wait to see him

C3

take the field."

This is not Ferrell's first foray into the game.

In 2012, he and Zach Galifianakis, promoting their movie "The Campaign," threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game.

And in 2010, he pitched — sort of — for Houston's Triple-A club, the Round Rock Express, in a game against Nashville. Wearing a mustache in the guise of "Rojo Johnson," a temperamental Venezuelan player, he threw one pitch behind a batter and was ejected. He ripped off the mustache as he left the field.

"Nashville's got good stuff," he said afterward. "They've got a lot of moxie."

It gives a hint of what Major League Baseball is in for on Thursday.

The facts

Ryan Casteel broke a 1-1 tie with an RBI double to deep center in the ninth inning after the Mariners opened the door with two infield misplays. The Rockies added two more runs.

Those defensive breakdowns came after the Mariners wasted Stefen Romero’s leadoff triple in the eighth inning. The Mariners (4-5) were 0-for12 with runners in scoring position.

For all that, Mariners lefty Danny Hultzen provided the day’s highlight by pitching one scoreless inning in his first game appearance since Sept. 1, 2013.

Hultzen was the second overall pick in the 2011 draft and advanced to Triple-A Tacoma in 2013 before suffering a shoulder injury that required major surgery.

Left-hander Elias falls behind Walker in battle for starting rotation spot

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — While Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez pitches Sunday against a collection of minor leaguers on a back field, left-hander Roenis Elias will start against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Peoria Stadium.

Elias is in need of a bounceback outing in his competition with Taijuan Walker for the rotation’s final spot. Elias gave up two runs on four hits and a walk Monday against Colorado in a piggyback start behind Hernandez.

“He was a little erratic with

Olson From Page C1

Olson was a combined 12-8 with a 3.46 earned-run average last season in 27 starts at Hi-A High Desert and Double-A Jackson. His 12 victories were the most among the organization’s minor-league players.

Even so, his roster chances, as camp opened, were thinner than slim.

his command,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He was probably a little hyped up. He’s better than that. He pitched behind in the count quite a bit. He’ll have to get better. I’m sure he will.”

Walker has five scoreless innings in his two starts while allowing just two hits, walking none and striking out six. His next outing is Saturday against Arizona at Salt River Fields.

Paxton update Lefty James Paxton had “a great live BP,” according to pitching coach Rick Waits, during a morning workout against minor-league players.

Paxton is recovering from a sore forearm, which he suffered when he

“I’m just trying to learn,” he said. “I’ve been watching everyone as much as I can in bullpens to see what they’re focusing on, how they execute and how they go about their business.

“I’m just trying to mimic what they’re doing.”

Olson’s next scheduled appearance is Thursday against the A’s in Mesa.

“I’m just going out there and trying to compete,” he said. “Not trying to do too much. Things are going well right now.”

The biggest adjustment is the

“I’m still learning their strengths,” McClendon said, “but I don’t think you’ll see (center fielder) Austin Jackson in right field.

“There’s a chance Ruggiano will play some left field and, for that matter, he’ll play some center field.”

Ruggiano’s primary role projects as the right-handed part of a right-field platoon with Seth Smith.

“I don’t see Smith playing anything but right field,” McClendon said. “(Dustin) Ackley will play left field. (Rickie) Weeks will play left field. But Ruge is a talented kid who can play all three.

“He may move around, and it wouldn’t upset him.”

change in routine from a starter to a reliever.

“It’s quite a bit different,” Olson said. “Obviously, I’ve never thrown two or three hours before I go out and pitch. Usually, I throw in the bullpen, then go out and pitch.

“Now, I try to pace myself throughout the day, try not to do too much. So I can go out there and still feel fresh.”

While Olson’s delivery is particularly tough on lefties, McClendon isn’t looking for a left-on-left specialist — like

Beimel — to pair with Furbush.

“I would like to have a guy who is complete,” McClendon said, “who is able to throw multiple innings. Get both left-handers and right-handers out.”

That could be Olson.

“Listen, I’m not anointing this guy on our team,” McClendon said. “He’s got to compete and there’s a lot of baseball left. But ...

I’m not trying to eliminate talent.

I’m trying to find talent. I like surprises. We’ll see.”

“He’ll have one more of these,” Waits said, “and be ready for (his spring debut) on the 17th. I think he’s right on target.”

Paxton said he felt no discomfort in his forearm — “nothing’ — either in his 30 warm-up pitches or his 30-pitch session to hitters. He also used the workout to hone a new twoseam changeup.

“I’m looking at getting a little more movement,” he said, “so I can use it as a swing-and-miss pitch as well as late contact. Last year, I felt it was a little bit straight and a little bit hard. This one might be a little bit slower also.”

Ruggiano on the move

The Mariners threw the game away in the ninth inning. First, second baseman Shawn O’Malley threw wide to first on a routine leadoff grounder by Mike Tauchman.

Lucas Luetge then had Tauchman picked off, but first baseman D.J. Peterson made an off-line throw to second.

The result was a stolen base.

A sacrifice moved Tauchman to third before Luetge surrendered Casteel’s RBI double, Will Spanner’s RBI single and Kyle Parker’s RBI double.

Plus

Reliever Tom Wilhelmsen made his spring debut by recording three ground outs in the sixth. He threw 10 pitches, including seven strikes. ... Kyle Seager hit his first spring homer, a two-out drive in the third that erased a 1-0 deficit. Seager hit two other balls hard but had nothing to show for it. ... Reliever Yoervis Medina pitched a clean seventh inning and has not allowed a run in 3 2 ⁄3 innings over three outings. ... Lefty Charlie Furbush had a one-two-three eighth after allowing three runs and four hits in two innings in two previous outings. ... Seth Smith ended a 0-for-8 spring skid by lining a double into the left-center gap in the first inning.

Minus

Start with the wasted opportunity in the eighth inning and add the defensive goofs in the ninth. ... Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless fifth inning but had to work around two walks to do it. It didn’t stop him from performing his arrow-shoot pantomime, to cheers, as he neared the dugout.

Cal eliminates Cougars 84-59 Herald news services LAS VEGAS — California got the ball to David Kravish in the post early and though his first few shots did not go in, it opened things up for the Bears the rest of the game.

Kravish had 25 points and eight rebounds, lifting California to a dominating 84-59 win over Washington State in the opening game of the Pac-12 tournament on Wednesday.

“We established David in the post,” Cal coach Cuonzo Martin said. “I thought that set the tone for us offensively; if we’re able to do that, then our perimeter guys could play.”

Cal (18-14) turned a close game into a rout with an impressive shooting display, hitting 14 of 15 shots spanning halftime to build a 17-point lead.

The eighth-seeded Bears shot 58.5 percent overall and went 8 of 12 from 3-point range to earn a spot in Thursday’s quarterfinals against No. 5 and top-seeded Arizona.

Jordan Mathews had 19 points and Tyrone Wallace added 12 for California.

Kravish caused the most problems, hitting 10 of 17 shots despite opening with six straight misses.

LAS VEGAS — Elijah Stewart scored 27 points and hit two free throws with 3.4 seconds left after a big block by Nikola Jovanovic, helping USC rally for a win over Arizona State in the Pac-12 tournament.

No. 5 seed Arizona State was in control most of the way before USC rallied in the final five minutes to set up a frenetic finish.

The 12th-seeded Trojans led by three before Arizona State’s Shaquielle McKissic, who played at Edmonds Community College, scored on a hard drive with 53 seconds left.

McKissic had a chance to give Arizona State the lead after the Sun Devils grabbed two offensive rebounds, but Jovanovic swooped across the lane to swat his shot away.

Stanford tops UW 71-69

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

LAS VEGAS — Buoyed by another uncharacteristically strong 3-point shooting performance — and a well-timed missed dunk that changed the complexion of the game — it appeared as if the Washington Huskies would find a way to extend their season on Wednesday night in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

But Stanford guard Chasson Randle buried a long-range 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds left, and the Huskies lost 71-69. Their miserable, frustrating season ends with a 16-15 overall record.

And it ended with a game they will feel should have been theirs. Stanford led by a single point when Anthony Brown caught an outlet pass, all by himself, and leaped for what should have been an easy slam dunk with a little more than four minutes remaining.

But he missed it, UW forward Jernard Jarreau grabbed the rebound, and Mike Anderson triggered a pass to Nigel WilliamsGoss, who made a transition 3-pointer to give the Huskies a 66-64 lead with 3:58 to play.

Jarreau buried a corner 3-pointer on UW’s next possession to make it 69-64. Stefan Nastic, who led Stanford with 21 points, scored twice to trim that

lead to 69-68.

The Huskies shot 13-for-20 from 3-point range, four days after hitting 8-of-14 in a shocking upset over Utah.

Washington’s savior in the first half was Dan Kingma, the 5-foot-10, 155-pound freshman walk-on from Jackson High School in Mill Creek.

He’s received more playing time in recent games, and on Wednesday he made his biggest impact yet, connecting on each of his three attempts from 3-point range. The score was tied, 32-32, at halftime, and Kingma was UW’s leading scorer with nine points.

His hot shooting helped offset Stanford’s obvious interior skill advantage, which again was exploited most frequently

by Nastic. The 6-foot-11 senior scored 11 of his 21 points in the first half.

It was Kingma who went to the free-throw line for a 1-and-1 inside the final 30 seconds, UW leading by a point. He missed the front end. Stanford rebounded, and Rosco Allen missed a jumper with fewer than 10 seconds remaining.

But the Cardinal rebounded his miss — one of 13 offensive boards for Stanford — and the ball wound up in Randle’s hands. The senior guard, who finished with only 10 points, nailed a long 3-pointer to end the Huskies’ season.

Silvertips From Page C1

Portland’s star duo of Oliver Bjorkstrand and Nicolas Petan plagued the Tips throughout.

Bjorkstrand continued his highflying ways, scoring two goals — including one that powered its way through the net — to bring his league-leading total to 54 on the season and 23 in his past 14 outings. Petan had a goal and two assists, giving him multiple-assist performances in seven straight.

Adam Henry added two goals and Keoni Texeira also scored for Portland (40-20-2-3), which blew the doors off the game after Everett scored first. The Winterhawks have won four straight and is now 17-12-0 in its past 20 games.

“We got off to a little bit of a slow start,” Portland coach Jamie Kompon said. “Giving up the first goal is never a good thing, especially in an opponent’s building when they’re good at home. I was happy with the way we responded and I thought we played well for 56 minutes.”

Despite now being in pole position for the division title, Kompon downplayed the importance of the victory.

“We don’t want to put any more importance on one game

In re: Tiffani Matherne and Kayne Matherne

over another game,” he said. “We know it’s an important game, and we can’t lose sight of where we want to get to. Yeah, it’s a big game against a division rival, but we still have seven games to go besides this one. We take care of business tonight and do the right things that made us successful in the past, then the results will take care of themselves.”

Adin Hill earned the win in goal for Portland with 27 saves.

Dawson Leedahl scored the lone goal for Everett (40-20-3-4), which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Carter Hart, the reigning Canadian Hockey League Goaltender of the Week, was pulled midway through the second period after allowing four goals on 23 shots. Austin Lotz saved 10 of 12 in relief for the Tips, who lost their cool in the game’s final minutes.

It started well enough for the Tips. After a few nervous shifts to start the game, Everett opened the scoring at 3 minutes, 18 seconds.

The Tips worked the puck to Cole MacDonald, open in the left circle.

MacDonald looked up, closed on goal, then fed it out front where Leedahl put it away to make it 1-0.

Portland picked up the pace after that and scored twice in four minutes to go ahead 2-1.

Evan Weinger shrugged off a defender in the corner, then fed Texeira all alone in the high slot.

enough job defending them.”

Bjorkstrand finished things off with a shot that went through the net on the power play at 13:44 of the third period, and after that the game got heated as the Tips lost their composure.

Tips sign Astasiewicz

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

The Silvertips’ Brayden Low attempts a shot at goal against the Winterhawks’ Adin Hill to no avail Wednesday night in Everett.

Texeira picked out the corner to tie it at 8:29. Then the Tips got long shifted, and Bjorkstrand came off the bench, collected the puck behind the Everett net, circled out front and beat Hart at the near post, giving the Winterhawks the lead at 11:39.

The Winterhawks then put the game away in the second. Henry scored twice to put Portland in control. He collected the puck in his own zone, found a seam in the neutral zone as he sped up the ice, then lifted a backhander over Hart at 4:16. Then at 12:04 the Winterhawks created a turnover in the

Everett zone, and Petan made a visionary pass to find Henry cutting in from the point to make it 4-1 and send Hart to the bench. Petan scored one of his own at 17:46 when his shot off the rush went off his marker’s stick and over Lotz to make it a four-goal game and end any thoughts of a Tips comeback.

“They’re very gifted players, they are able to skate and move the puck,” Constantine said of the Winterhawks. “That’s the combination of skills that makes them dangerous. They do a lot of things offensively very well, centered on their top line. We didn’t do a good

The Tips announced Wednesday the signing of defenseman Alex Astasiewicz to a WHL education contract. Astasiewicz, a 16-year-old from Salmon Arm, B.C., was a third-round pick in the 2013 bantam draft. The 6-foot, 195-pounder just completed his season with the Golden Rockets of the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, where he had five goals and 20 assists in 46 games. Astasiewicz is spending the next couple weeks in Everett and has been added to the Tips’ roster.

by NASCAR Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kurt Busch was cleared Wednesday to get back in his race car and attempt to rebuild a career that was halted two days before the Daytona 500 when NASCAR suspended him for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been torture sitting out of the car,â&#x20AC;? Busch said in a conference call. He called the allegations against him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a complete fabrication.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never did anything of the things I was accused of,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never wavered in this whole process because of the confidence in the truth.â&#x20AC;?

Busch missed the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three races during the suspension, the third of his career. In reinstating the 2004 champion, NASCAR ruled he will be eligible for the titledeciding Chase should he qualify.

He will return to competition this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway in the No. 41 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing.

He said he will replace his longtime nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outlawâ&#x20AC;? with his signature above the door of his car.

Busch remains on indefinite probation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have made it very clear to Kurt Busch our expectations for him moving forward, which includes participation in a treatment program and full compliance with all judicial requirements as a result of his off-track behavior,â&#x20AC;?

NASCAR executive vice president Steve Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell said.

Busch was suspended Feb. 20 when a Delaware judge ruled he likely assaulted ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll in his motorhome in September at Dover International Speedway. He lost two rounds of appeals on the eve of the seasonopening Daytona 500.

Last week, the Delaware attorney general declined to charge Busch for the incident with Driscoll â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;removed a significant impedimentâ&#x20AC;? to reinstatement.

Zen and the art of

Creative clipping of plants can calm a gardener’s nerves

BONSAI

ASSOCIATED PRESS

It takes patience and a keen eye to mold a living material into a work of art. Bonsai can be a great stress-reliever.

L

ife can be stressful and the more we can do to relieve that stress the happier and healthier we can be. Nothing causes me more stress than trying to adjust to daylight saving time, and while I would love to use this space to rant about how much I loathe it, the fact is that this is a gardening column.

Instead, I’ll write about a gardening art form that can relieve stress for our sleep-deprived souls: Bonsai.

As a young child, Bonsai was a word we shouted at the top of our lungs as we jumped off the edge of a cliff. It wasn’t until my early teens that I realized it actually had something to do with plants.

In 1999, I had the opportunity to travel to China with a group of horticulturists and one of our stops was in Suzhou, where I observed Bonsai specimens that were over 500 years old.

Translated, the word Bonsai means “planted in a container.” The art form is derived from an ancient Chinese horticultural practice called Penjing. It was redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism — this is the stress-reducing part — and has been around for over a 1,000 years.

The ultimate goal of growing a Bonsai is to create a miniaturized but

Learn Bonsai Debbie Wetmore-Pringle (right) will demonstrate her Bonsai techniques and secrets 10 a.m. Saturday at Sunnyside Nursery, 3915 Sunnyside Blvd., Marysville. Learn how to choose containers, select soil, prune roots, shape branches and more. The class is free.

Visit Pacific Bonsai Museum

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER realistic representation of nature in the form of a tree or group of trees. It is this process of creativity that I find to be stress reducing. Bonsai are not genetically dwarfed plants — any tree species can be used.

Techniques such as pinching buds, pruning and wiring branches are all used to limit and redirect healthy growth. Carefully restricting but not abandoning fertilizers is also an option.

Fortunately, folks in the Northwest don’t have to travel to China to see some incredible Bonsai. The Pacific Bonsai Museum in Federal Way is a just a short trip away and a place you can find some nice Bonsai specimens.

There is also the Puget Sound Bonsai Association that meets at the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle and the Evergreen Bonsai Club

Check out an amazing Bonsai collection at this preeminent Northwest Bonsai musuem, located at 2515 S. 336th St., Federal Way. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays year-round, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every third Thursday from March through September. Admission is free.

that meets in Bremerton. A quick Internet search will turn up more local places to see Bonsai or take classes on how to make your own.

I am inclined to think that Bonsai is 75 percent art and 25 percent horticulture. It takes a keen eye to mold and form a living material like a plant into something that looks natural — only miniaturized. All of this doesn’t happen in one setting, which is probably why I have never truly embraced this form of gardening. I am just too impatient.

However, I do happen to know a talented woman who has been practicing Bonsai for 20 to 30 years

in the Puget Sound region. Debbie Wetmore-Pringle, a farrier by trade, spends much of her spare time working on her fabulous Bonsai collection.

Wetmore-Pringle will be demonstrating her techniques and secrets at 10 a.m. Saturday at Sunnyside Nursery. She will show how to choose containers, prune roots and shape branches, select soil mixes, and water and feed Bonsai. In my book, she is a master of this art form.

THERIAULT’S AUCTION

It cost $23,940 to buy this googlyeyed doll at a Maryland auction.

It is 13-inches high, dressed in a period costume, and signed with the names of Oscar Hitt and George Borgfeldt and the date 1927.

olls rarely look like real babies or children. Today there are dolls with oversized heads, exaggerated bodies, or monster or cartoon shapes.

There were many earlier dolls that had unusual features or expressions.

Googly-eyed dolls were popular in the 1920s. One type was made under the 1927 copyright of Oscar Hitt, an American illustrator and cartoonist. Some of his characters were turned into dolls

by George Borgfeldt in Germany.

The bisque head has a flanged neck. The face has side-glancing eyes with thick dark eyeliner and curly eye lashes, a very tiny nose and either painted hair or a wig. These dolls are very rare and one sold in January 2015 at a Theriault’s auction in Annapolis,

Can you tell me something about the maker and age of this set?

Answer: August Brandt founded A. Brandt Company in 1900. The family sold the company in 1986. It went out of business and the remaining inventory was auctioned off in 1988. The company’s popular Ranch Oak line of furniture carved with western designs was

Q: I’ve been collecting Lady Head Vases for about 25 years. I would like to know what they are worth.

A: Lady Head vases, usually showing a pretty woman from the shoulders up, were used by florists primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. They are often decorated with imitation jewelry and other accessories.

They became a “must-have” for a few years -books were written, clubs formed and prices went up. Then the collectors lost interest and prices fell to the present low level. Most head vases were made in Japan and the United States. Lady Head vases of a famous person or with imitation

Common lady head vases sell for $25 or less, while a Jackie Kennedy lady head vase has sold for over $100.

Q: I recently restored a 150-year-old Italianate home. It has a pair of brass and metal gaspowered chandeliers made by Christian Cornelius of Philadelphia. Each has six glass globes.

They are original to the house. All my antiques friends have given their opinions as to the value, but I’d like to get your expert advice.

Have you just purchased a house?

Sure, you may still have lots of work ahead of you before you can call it the perfect home, but settling in fast and getting cozy will set you on your way. Here are five tips to help you get comfortable.

NEW HOME OWNERS MONTHS!

For a job well done, call in some real professionals — a plumber, interior decorator, house painter, etc.

1. For safety’s sake, change the locks on all exterior doors to ensure that the only people who have keys are those you have given to them personally. You should also draw up an evacuation plan and ensure there are enough smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the house.

2. Entrust any renovations and repairs to true professionals to ensure the job is done well. If you have several similar jobs to be done (plumbing or electricity, for example), have them all done at the same time. Shop around for several quotes to keep costs to a minimum.

3. You don’t know what to do with the living room? You’re not talented in

Hardware

creating color combinations? Enlist the help of an interior designer to create the perfect ambiance. And if you have a lot of rooms to paint and just the thought of it is getting you down, hire a team of painters; the work will be done quickly and done well, and you can get on with other tasks.

4. If the house is big but your many belongings are already making it feel cramped, there is a solution. Call in a home storage systems expert to show you how to maximize the space you have.

5. Lastly, if it isn’t already done, you should invest in some basic tools for maintaining the house and yard. A lawnmower and a kitted-out toolbox are always useful!

Working it out: Tips to avoid home-design arguments

S

haring your life with someone is a beautiful thing, but that doesn’t always mean you share the same design and style preferences when it comes to your home. Whether you’ve lived together for one year or 20, use this advice from highly rated interior designers to stop the fights that have kept you from painting the walls or tiling the floors.

Start with a design plan Jodi Schavone, owner of Décor Coach in Apex, N.C., says to make a list of how the room has to function for each person

before embarking on a design project. This will help couples and families prioritize and understand why one idea might be better than another.

Think realistically about how you’ll use the space, along with whether you have a big family or like to entertain. Look through pictures online or in magazines, and talk openly about your likes and dislikes.

Listen to each other Communicate openly, and don’t forget to listen. Interior designers say the majority of their

job comes down to listening to clients. Sometimes your spouse or partner might just want his or her ideas heard. Discussing concerns helps to avoid conflict, and will help you determine what he or she likes about a particular color, pattern or piece of furniture.

Blend your design styles “A home is like a marriage,” Schavone says. “It won’t work if it’s one-sided.” Not everything has to match. There are ways to mix style preferences, according to Schavone. This could be as easy as using one person’s color

choices with the other person’s fabric selection. You want your new space to reflect both of you.

Keep the peace There are usually places in the home where each person can have it their way, says Kathy Tufts, owner of Beyond Design in Clifton, Virginia. For example, choose neutral themes and colors for your common area, but allow some creativity in personal offices, bedrooms or hobby rooms. You’ll have to compromise many times throughout your life. This is good practice.

Add pizzazz, save on space Kovel with versatile floor lamps From Page D1

jewelry of the room, and sometimes you put on your handsome studs instead of your amazing chandeliers.” n Stretch out a classic task lamp and you get the Industrial Task Floor Lamp, which swivels and bends at two joints to accommodate different tasks and room layouts ($199, www.westelm.com). “I like floor lamps that are adjustable because I like to use them for reading, over the arm of a chair,” Steponkus says. “They’re classic, they’re classy, they work with everything.”

“Floor lamps in general are versatile because they can fit into narrow spaces,” Giannasio says, and we’re not sure you’ll find a slimmer profile for a tight space than the Brazo LED Floor Lamp’s ($490, www.roomandboard. com). It would practically disappear in a room, yet still provide ample (and dimmable) light where you need it.

Special to The Washington Post

There are a few basic rules to lighting: Make sure each room has three or more sources of light, place light at various heights and ensure that all tasks are well lit.

These rules exist to make sure rooms have enough light to see in but also so that they cast enough of a warm glow that you want to be in them.

Breaking these rules can ruin a whole room’s design, says Breeze Giannasio, a Malibu, California, designer who works in the Washington area. “People will worry about furniture, finishes, flooring, throw pillows — going to town on everything — but if the lighting isn’t right, you can’t see all of the work you’ve done,” she says.

Floor lamps are a great way to create that warmth. They can fit in tight spaces in small rooms or brighten a dark corner of a large room.

At the bottom, in small print, it reads: “London, published by J. Cary, engraver and map seller, 181 Strand, 1819.” The map is 22 by 36 inches.

Value?

A: Many of our readers may not realize that large department stores like Marshall Field had specialized departments where antique maps were sold to collectors. Your 1819 map was engraved

by John Cary (1754-1835), a well-regarded London engraver and mapmaker.

An 1819 Cary world map the same size as yours auctioned a few years ago for more than $500. The value of yours would also depend on its condition.

Hire an interior designer Bringing in reinforcements often helps you see eye to eye, but could cost you between $100 and $200 for an initial one-hour consultation. “A big part of my job is being a marriage counselor or peace mediator,” Tufts says.

Schavone agrees. “In listening to my clients, I detail what’s most important,” she says. “If I address the important parts of their ideas, they can usually give a little.”

Q: When my father moved into his house in 1957, he discovered the previous owner, a physician, left an old examining table. I think the table was old even then. It’s made of wood. One side of the tabletop can be lifted up to serve as a backrest, and there are stirrups that can be extended from the other end. A shelf is below the top, close to the floor.

It is labeled, “W.D. Allison Co., Indianapolis, Ind.” Is the table of any value?

A: W.D. Allison Co. started out as G.H. Clark & Co. in 1882. Its name became W.D. Allison in 1893. The company became a large

manufacturer of medical and dental chairs, tables, cabinets, bookcases, instrument tables and wheelchairs. Allison grew to have branches in New York, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. Your table, if in good condition, could sell for a few hundred dollars.

Tip: Veneered furniture should not be placed near steam radiators, open windows, or groups of potted plants. The veneer eventually will “bubble” from the moisture.

Run, run away from cheating fiancee

daily crossword

Dear Carolyn: My fiancee cheated on me. After talking it over, I have forgiven her, and want to move on.

Now she is questioning my love for her because I didn’t get upset enough about it.

This has thrown me for a loop.

I never thought my ability to be rational and forgiving would break my heart.

— Bewildered Technically, these abilities didn’t break your heart — they just gave your fiancee a new way for her to break it, after the cheating didn’t work.

In 34 words, you exposed your fiancee as deeply immature, unready for marriage and incapable of saying this to your face. So, she’s resorting to sabotage — first cheating, now lobbing accusations at you, soon something else.

If you don’t believe me enough to walk away, then please make this engagement contingent on rigorous premarital counseling. The ever-after you’re looking at now is not a happy one.

Dear Carolyn: Our daughter is in her early 30s, and is engaged. She wants a small wedding, but we would like to include family and close friends.

She and her fiance recently moved far away and want the wedding to be in their new location. They

CAROLyN HAx Tell me abouT iT love their new environment, plus the distance will help them keep it small. (Some family and friends will not be able to travel for cost and health reasons.)

Before they moved, we offered to pay for the wedding and reception.

However, it does not feel right to be hosting a wedding that many of our family and friends cannot attend.

We realize this is our daughter’s and her fiance’s wedding, but we are trying to find a solution with which we can all feel happy. What do you suggest?

— Wanting to Do the Right Thing The “right thing” is to respect the decision these two adults have made, so what you’re wanting, actually, is to have your values prevail over the couple’s.

You can certainly ask your daughter to consider the feelings of those they’re de facto excluding. Beyond that, though, you and I

both know there’s no magic adultautonomy bypass that allows you to overrule the bride and groom.

Unless, of course, you choose to use your freely offered money as leverage — but that would be tantamount to declaring war on your daughter in the name of family unity, the absurdity of which I hope explains itself.

I realize you have good intentions, or believe you do, in choosing inclusion as your top priority for this wedding. But being on the side of the angels is beside the point; it’s not your wedding so you don’t get to have priorities for it, period.

So support your daughter, celebrate her happiness and take at least some comfort in this: Their wanting an intimate wedding in their new surroundings sounds like a confident, mature and hopeful way to start their lives together.

If you feel strongly that homebound friends and relatives deserve a place in the celebration, then here’s where the smaller (read: cheaper!) wedding helps you. Ask your daughter if you can host a gathering in your area to toast their marriage, sometime after they have regrouped from the main event.

Even a first-anniversary party would promote the notion of family and community that you hope your daughter will embrace. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Dad’s choice of movies is inappropriate for young kids Dear Abby: Recently, my father has begun to watch films with graphic sexual scenes when he gets home from work. When I ask him to please watch them when my three younger siblings aren’t in the house, he tells me that because he pays the bills he has the right to do what he wants.— Uncomfortable In Oregon Dear Uncomfortable: If there are adult relatives who can convince your dad that what he’s doing is unwise — an aunt, uncle, grandparent — talk to them about what’s going on right away. If there aren’t, then a trusted teacher or counselor at school should be informed because what your father is doing is extremely inappropriate. Exposing children to graphic images can give them unrealistic expectations about what sex is really all about.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have talked about becoming engaged. The subject of the wedding dress came up. She broke off a past engagement last year, and she has asked me whether it would be OK for her to use the dress she chose for the wedding that didn’t happen. She says only her mother and the seamstress have seen it.

She doesn’t want to be out $1,000 and says she does not associate the gown with her ex-fiance.

I feel we should try to sell the dress, although it was tailored for her, and pick a new one. don’t like the idea of looking back at the wedding photos and thinking the dress was meant for another man. — Future Husband In Southern California Dear Husband: Actually, the dress was meant for your fiancee and not another man.

I have experienced all of these things in my own life, but I have never shed tears about them or let them cripple me. I view these things as part of life and move on. As I get older, it is getting harder and harder for me to fake these emotions. Is something wrong with me? — Moving On In Tennessee Dear Moving On: Some people live the veneer of life; others live the hardwood. It appears you are among the former and insulated against painful emotions. However, I’m cautioning you to be patient and show respect for the feelings of others who have more emotional depth, or you may be spending a lot of time alone in the future.

Why politicians persist in using rock songs without permission

“American Idol.” We finally have our Top 12 finalists, and tonight, they take the stage for the first time in a two-hour special edition. 8 p.m., Fox From Herald news services

It’s as predictable as a power chord in a rock ballad: Sooner or later, a candidate will play a catchy song on the 2016 presidential campaign trail, and the artist who wrote it will complain. Headlines ensue. Lawsuits may be filed.

Candidates and artists have been clashing for decades. President Ronald Reagan’s use of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” didn’t sit well with The Boss. Rocker Tom Petty objected to former representative Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign’s playing his “American Girl.”

Last month, Boston punk band Dropkick Murphys called out Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for playing their signature “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”

So why haven’t candidates figured this out yet? We checked in with a couple of copyright lawyers, who offered a few explanations.

toDay in history Today is Thursday, March 12, the 71st day of 2015. There are 294 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On March 12, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 30 radio addresses that came to be known as “fireside chats,” telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.

On this date: In 1664, England’s King Charles II granted an area of land on the East Coast of present-day North America known as New Netherland to his brother James, the Duke of York.

In 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA had its beginnings as Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Georgia, founded the first American troop of the Girl Guides.

In 1938, the Anschluss merging Austria with Nazi Germany took place as German forces crossed the border between the two countries.

In 1940, Finland and the Soviet Union concluded an armistice during World War II. (Fighting between the two countries flared again the following year.)

In 1955, legendary jazz

musician Charlie “Bird” Parker died in New York at age 34.

In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, but Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota placed a strong second.

In 1971, Hafez Assad was confirmed as president of Syria in a referendum.

In 1985, conductor Eugene Ormandy, director of the Philadelphia Orchestra for more than four decades, died at age 85.

In 2003, Elizabeth Smart, the 15-year-old girl who’d vanished from her bedroom nine months earlier, was found alive in a Salt Lake City suburb with two drifters, Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee, who are serving prison terms for kidnapping her.

Ten years ago: Brian Nichols, who had slain a judge and three other people, surrendered to authorities in suburban Atlanta after holding Ashley Smith hostage in her apartment. (Nichols was later sentenced to life in prison.)

speculating about Smollett’s real-life sexuality. Until now, Smollett would not comment.

So to put an end to the speculation, Smollett appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’s daytime talk show Monday afternoon. Yes, he confirmed, he’s gay — but he still doesn’t want to talk about his personal life.

Smollett initially went

campaigns and other entities have offered a few lines of defense, namely the First Amendment and “fair use” doctrine. “Neither of these work very well,” said New York attorney Joel Schoenfeld.

And even if a campaign has secured copyright permission, an artist can still object to their music’s use under other laws that

protect their images or forbid implications of endorsement. How to get around this one? “I tell campaigns that the best way to go is to ask the artist,” said Andrew Stroud, a Sacramento attorney who has represented both musicians and political campaigns.

That works best if the musician’s political leanings line up with the candidate’s, which pretty much means 2016 GOP candidates better find a Ted Nugent song they like. (Hillary Clinton has the early lock on poppy earworms like Pharrell’s “Happy” and Katy Perry’s “Roar.”)

3. They want to get caught. It’s a cynical thought, but some might gamble that picking a fight is good for business. “It’s a way to get attention,” Stroud said. Some candidates might consider it a positive “if they’re in a fight with liberal Hollywood.”

“It was really important to me to make sure that it got

across that there is no closet, there’s never been a closet that I’ve been in,” Smollett said. “I don’t have a closet.

But I have a home and that is my responsibility to protect that home. So that’s why I choose not to talk about my personal life. But there is, without a doubt, no closet I’ve ever been in.”
