Oso mudslide: ONE YEAR LATER

Solemn milestone

Hundreds gather to share hugs, shed tears

By Rikki King, Diana Hefley and Eric Stevick Herald Writers

OSO — It wasn’t about one person.

It wasn’t about one moment.

It was about all the people who came together to fight against the mud last spring, and the pain each has carried every day since the hill fell.

A year had passed Sunday since the mudslide that took 43 people and changed so many lives.

Hundreds gathered at the spot east of Oso on the rebuilt Highway 530, to hug and shake hands and be together. Lifelong friendships were made in the mud, in the bonds that formed when people dropped their differences to overcome something that was bigger than themselves.

There was no choice last March but to come together. There was only the mud, and the task at hand: bringing home everyone who was lost.

The names of the dead were read, one by one, and marked by the tolling of a bell.

“Today started a new beginning,” said John Hadaway, whose brother, Steven, was the final name read. “For a lot of people it was a new beginning. Before it was month by month and now it’s a year.”

Jami Pszonka came with her family to remember. Her sisterin-law Katie Ruthven, 34, lived on E. Steelhead Drive with her husband, Shane, and the couple’s two boys, Hunter, 6, and Wyatt, 4. Shane Ruthven’s parents also were killed in the slide.

Barbara Walsh (center) is comforted by family members. Her husband, William, was among the 43 victims of the Oso mudslide.

OSO — It’s too soon to build a memorial.

For the last year, that’s been the consensus of families who lost loved ones in the Oso mudslide.

Snohomish County staff are working with relatives of the 43 people who died on March 22, 2014, to determine if, when and where a memorial eventually could be built. The type, size and design also are up in the air.

Early on, officials promised to give families time to grieve before considering a memorial. Now most are prepared to talk, some have clear ideas and a few aren’t yet ready to think about it, project

lead Tom Teigen said.

“We’re not going to get 100 percent agreement on anything with the site,” said Tiegen, the county’s parks director. “People grieve in different ways.”

The county has moved to buy property in the slide zone, near where Steelhead Drive branched off Highway 530.

The Snohomish County Council earlier this month approved buying 13.4 acres for $131,700, including closing costs. The landowner has agreed to sell the property, according to county documents. It’s just north of a memorial grove of cedars planted in September when the new See MEMORIAL, Page A3

Raising of flag marks moment of grace Herald Writer

OSO — The first year has passed since the land above Steelhead Drive betrayed the people who lived there and swallowed them up. The broken hill looked down Sunday morning, keeping its peace, never to be trusted again.

Hundreds of men, women and children whose lives have changed gathered below to honor men, women and children whose lives were lost.

They stood together, closer than strangers do, facing hummocks of dirt and little beds of daffodils, the hill far beyond.

As the ceremony started, they were asked to watch a flag flying from a spar tree, hoisted to full staff for the first time.

Sun broke through the clouds.

The crowd turned their backs to the hill to watch the flag rise. They kept their hats off for a moment of silence, honoring the 43 souls who will never stand here again.

The flag is raised to the top of a spar tree Sunday after flying at halfstaff at the Oso mudslide site for the past year.

Pipers played “Amazing Grace,” a hymn big enough to fill the sky and those empty places in aching hearts.

“I once was lost but now am found...”

Near the flag, a lone piper played it back across the bare land.

“Tis grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home...”

It was 10:37 a.m.

A roll from the drummers echoed through the valley, in some ways marking an end. A second roll, another echo.

This time, a call to life.

Oso mudslide: one year Later

watching over us,” Pszonka said.

There is some peace being out here. So many good times to remember.

The slide didn’t steal those memories.

“We didn’t want to be anywhere but here today,” she said.

It was a ceremony of few words.

Joel Johnson, Oso Fire Department chaplain, a pastor and young father, led the group in prayer.

He had words prepared, but reading them, saying something rehearsed, didn’t seem right, he said afterward.

So he spoke from the heart, for the people who have become family since the hill fell at 10:37 a.m. on March 22, 2014.

He thanked God for the community’s resilience and the sacrifices people made to care for their neighbors.

anyone ask, “What about me?” They just wanted to help.

The highway was closed for months after the slide. On Sunday, it was closed again for the remembrance.

People from Darrington to the east and Oso from the west converged on a grove of 43 cedar trees that was planted as a living memorial.

A crowd had followed Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin westward from a staging area on C-Post Road. One woman spoke of growing her hair out since the slide. She is growing it out one month for each person she knew who was lost. There were 14 people.

She has two months left.

Others from Darrington spoke, too, of the numbness of driving past the scarp every day, to get to Arlington, to buy groceries or go to work.

Conversations fell silent as they approached the broken earth.

Lasting connections were forged during those days when the mud turned the valley into a gray purgatory. Elaine and Don Young, who live on the eastern boundary of the devastation, last year opened their property to rescue workers. On Sunday, they made breakfast and coffee for some they’d met last spring.

experience meeting people who lost so much and are so gracious,” Jeffrey Negrete said Sunday.

Negrete, who lives in Monroe, is with Washington Task Force 1, a search and rescue team. He was part of the first wave of federal rescuers and spent almost two weeks in Oso. He remembered how well the town took care of the searchers, making sure they had dry clothes and full bellies.

On the Oso side, an honor guard accompanied by pipers led some of those who were first to race into the mud, and then spent months searching until every victim was found.

Rhonda Cook began looking for friends and survivors within hours of the slide. She worked in the debris fields well into summer. On Sunday, she was another face in the crowd, pleased with the ceremony and comforted knowing that she and others had kept their promises and made sure everyone who had been lost was brought back home.

“Hopefully, we can begin moving forward from this point,” she said.

Dayn Brunner’s sister, Summer Raffo, died when the mud swept her car off Highway 530. He spent 39 days looking for her and others. He helped organize Sunday’s event.

the weight of the last year could be seen on the faces of those who stood in silence as a bell rang for each of the oso mudslide’s 43 victims.

faces of those who truly understand.

The weight of the last year could be seen on those who survived and those who came to help and everyone else in between. Friends and family huddled together in the biting wind, arms intertwined, pitching in to shoulder the pain and reminding each other that they don’t have to go at it alone.

The land is big enough to hold their grief.

The solemn silence was broken by the sounds of the living: The shuffling of feet, the shuttering of smart phones capturing photographs; a toddler boy in rain boots happily gravitating toward a resting search dog.

As the bell rang 43 times, another small boy in the

crowd echoed the sound from atop his parent’s shoulders.

Jovon Mangual’s name was read. A boy named Jojo. He was 13. The people remembered were husbands and wives, grandparents and grandchildren, people who had made their homes in a place surrounded by mountains but still small enough that neighbors knew one another and gardens were shared.

Survivor Tim Ward wore a picture of his wife Brandy on his jacket. He hugged his daughter and son-inlaw after Brandy’s name was read. Survivor Bob Aylesworth’s own pin was of a wooden eagle, bearing the name of his mother-inlaw, Bonnie Gullikson.

Women wove flowers into the branches of the 43

cedars. One approached a rescuer, passing him an envelope stuffed with creased paper.

“This is just a letter of thanks,” she said.

After the ceremony, John Hadaway reflected on the year. It passed month by month, with profound sadness creeping in around the 21st and hitting hard on the 22nd.

He doesn’t know what the second year will bring.

He has learned many lessons about tragedy and what it takes to heal the human spirit. One in particular stands out.

“You have got to let it out,” he said. “I have cried more in the last year than I did in my entire life.”

Oso mudslide: One year later

stretch of highway was finished.

No bodies were found on that land, Teigen said. Families made it clear they didn’t want a public venue where their loved ones had been found.

“All of us consider the entire site sacred ground,” Teigen said.

The acreage could be used for a memorial and a safe parking area, according to a staff report. People try to pull over on the side of the 50 mph highway or even stop in the road to look at the gash in the hillside.

At this point, though, the county isn’t doing anything other than buying the land, long-term recovery lead Heather Kelly said.

“The purchase of the parcels out there is for a potential, in the future, maybe, if-needed (project),” she said. “Whether it’s a year from now or five years from now, the families can have options.”

People have urged officials to make sure the loss of lives and homes isn’t trivialized or commercialized, Teigen said.

Survivors offered insightful comments in times of grief and pain. They reminded planners to go slowly and approach memorial discussions with respect.

Families and county staff last met in October, Kelly said. The group agreed to wait until at least April to resume planning.

“We’re starting with the families that lost lives and then the families that lost homes and properties,” she said. “We’re not doing anything quickly. We’re being very purposeful about this.”

Officials say they expect most parcels in the slide area to be bought out by the federal government, though those decisions still are pending. The buyout program prohibits any future development, including a possible memorial. That’s why the county sought to buy acreage now from the Richard Larsen and Shirley Ann Larsen Living Trust.

The land is being paid for with money from the Conservation Futures program.

Families have suggested the memorial be something natural that fits with the scenery of the area, Kelly said. They want something that echoes the beauty that drew their loved ones to Oso. The over-arching idea is to let nature reclaim the area. There’s been talk of gardens and benches, Teigen said.

A number of nonprofits have reached out to offer help with funding, managing and maintaining a memorial when the time comes, Teigen said. Nonprofit and public involvement will come after families have made their decisions.

Until then, the grove of 43 cedars serves as a place to mourn and remember.

The families were the first

people to visit the cluster of saplings, planted six months ago just east of Steelhead Drive. They tied ribbons to the branches and

hung signs with the names of their loved ones.

The trees are young still. They stood six feet tall when they were planted. Landscapers picked them for the area because they’re a resilient, hardy species. Cedars grow well in the cool, wet soil.

Like the people of the valley, they can overcome the mud.

102 new apartments opening in summer

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A new apartment building is opening up in downtown Everett this summer, adding to the growing list of new housing going up in town.

Aero Apartments, developed

by Skotdal Real Estate, will feature 102 market-rate rental

apartments and 2,000 square feet of retail space, company president Craig Skotdal said.

“We’re actively seeking retail businesses that contribute to making downtown Everett a lively place,” Skotdal said.

Aero Apartments, located on the southeast corner of Hewitt and Rucker avenues, broke ground last March. The lot used

to hold a car rental business.

The name is intended to evoke Everett’s aerospace industry, much in the way that another Skotdal development, the 200unit Library Place, is named after the nearby Everett Public Library.

Library Place, located at 2720 Hoyt Ave., opened in 2012 and is about two blocks from Aero Apartments.

The new building will also feature a 102-stall parking garage screened from the street, a lounge area with a fireplace, kitchen and community tables, an outdoor patio with space for barbecues, and a dog walk area with an indoor, heated pet washing station.

Solar panels mounted on the rooftop will contribute to

reducing the building’s energy footprint, and will provide some of the power for the communal areas, Skotdal said.

The apartments will range in size from 512 to 974 square feet, from studios to two-bedroom units, with a small number of live/work loft-style spaces at See APTS, Page A5

Monroe senior discovers the best learning environment for success

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — Veronica Attebery is a senior at Leaders in Learning in Monroe. She has turned her grades around since she started at the alternative high school halfway through her freshman year. At the same time, she has worked at her family’s business. Attebery, 18, has overcome many challenges that could have kept her from graduating.

Question: What brought you to Leaders in Learning?

Answer: I was struggling at Monroe High School. I was shy and very self-conscious. I thought maybe I’d try this other school. It was easier to get to know the students here because

it’s smaller.

Q: How have your grades changed?

A: At Monroe High School, I was failing most of my classes. I was struggling in the new environment. When I got to Leaders in Learning, I was able to focus.

The teachers are very helpful here. Now, my grades are better and I’m on track to graduate.

Q: And you’re also a teaching assistant?

A: I make copies and take over some of the teacher’s work so she can help students. It’s nice being able to help a teacher help students.

Q: Tell me about your work outside of school.

A: Right now, I’m a junior administrative assistant at Kid’s Country Child Care and

Learning Center. I do a lot of office work. It’s a family business that my grandparents founded.

I’ve always been involved in one way or another. I also used to work as a dishwasher at Echo Falls Golf Course. That was my first job going out on my own.

Q: What are your plans for the future?

A: I would like to go to college for some kind of creative thing.

I’m applying for scholarships but I’m not sure exactly what I want to do yet. I’m considering Cascadia Community College so I can continue working. It’s also smaller and I think that’s best for me.

Q: What type of career do you envision?

A: I want to make things for people. I love repurposing

furniture. If there’s an old chair, you can give it a new look or make it into something totally different. I like helping other people. I could help people who have a vision for a project but don’t know how to make it happen. I enjoy having that freedom to be able to create whatever I want and the artistic ability to make it into something else.

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: I have 56 boards on Pinterest. I’m very organized. I love cooking and baking. I also like to do crafts and artwork. I draw people, animals and nature.

Q: Who influenced you during high school?

A: Barb Ayers. She was a teacher here but now she works See SUPER KID, Page A5

3 teens accused of attacking, robbing other teen

EVERETT — Prosecutors have charged three 16-year-old boys with robbery.

The boys are accused of attacking a 15-year-old boy outside a south Everett Safeway earlier this year. They reportedly beat him with small bats. He was hit repeatedly in the head and

was knocked to the ground.

He dropped his backpack as he fell. Passersby helped the boy get back up. He realized his cellphone was gone from his backpack once the attackers left.

The teen recognized the boys from Cascade High School. He didn’t know their names.

ow bad is congestion? It’s so bad, even the Washington State Patrol is taking up the issue — complete with its catchphrases and acronyms that stretch the limits of the English language.

If you can remember “Steer it, Clear it” and “Know Ways to Go,” then you’ll have a handle on the key goals of Operation RODE (if not its meaning, which is “reduce our drive time every day”).

“The goal of this project is to reduce people’s commute time by 5 minutes per commute, so 10 minutes per day,” trooper Mark Francis said. “That doesn’t sound like a lot,” he said. But do the math. In one year, “that’s 42 hours people will save.”

OK, I’m listening.

Troopers have two easy objectives for drivers interested in helping Puget Sound commuters achieve this goal, summed by those catch phrases.

‘Steer it, Clear it’ If you’re in a collision, make sure no one’s hurt. Then, if the cars are still in driving condition, “steer it” and “clear it” off the roadway.

Take those dented fenders to the next exit — even if it’s a mile off — park at a gas station or something, and then trade information and call police to investigate, Francis said.

Yes, that means ignoring the what-if scenario you’ve burned into your brain since driver’s ed 30 years ago and largely skipping the whole “pull to the side of the road” shoulder business. (A state trooper just told you to do this — so take a deep breath, it’s OK.) Why? Even minor fenderbenders elicit that looky-loo mentality. Passing drivers pause to check out the scene, forcing those behind them to slow down as well.

“You get that slinky effect,” Francis said.

Staying on the shoulder of a busy interstate when you don’t have to is also unsafe, he added.

‘Know Ways to Go’ The other main point is to “know ways to go” that aren’t on the main commute route.

The retail space can be divided into two, Skotdal said. He did not disclose any potential tenants for that space.

“Personally I’d love to see a pet boutique-type store at that location, because of the large number of pets downtown,” Skotdal said.

“The only major stores for pet owners are in south Everett,” he said.

Q: How have you changed since freshman year?

A: When I came here as a freshman, I literally only talked to Barb. Since then, I’m more open and friendly. I’ve grown up.

Q: What’s the most important lesson you’ll take away from high school?

A: You can’t let others get you down. You’ve got to do what makes you happy. It’s good to be there for others but you first have to support yourself.

Take time over the weekend or during some down time to map out three or four alternate routes to work and home, Francis said. Then, before you leave, check traffic maps online and see which may be the best route.

“You might have stoplights ... but you’re saving yourself 20 minutes,” Francis said.

There are other tips, too.

Be patient at merge points, in particular. Let people in, and don’t swerve to your own exit at the last minute, he said.

“Small decisions get compounded by the hundreds of other people who do the same thing,” Francis said.

Starbucks baristas stop writing ‘Race Together’ on coffee cups

The Lake Stevens man, 43, was driving a Chevrolet Camaro westbound on Highway 92 when he apparently lost control and hit a Honda Civic traveling

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Starbucks baristas will no longer write “Race Together” on customers’ cups starting Sunday, ending as planned a visible component of the company’s diversity and racial inequality campaign that had sparked widespread criticism in the week since it took effect.

The coffee chain’s initiative will continue more broadly without the handwritten messages, Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson said.

The cups were always “just the catalyst” for a larger conversation, and Starbucks will still hold forum discussions, coproduce special sections in USA TODAY and put more stores in minority communities as part of the Race Together initiative, according to a company memo from CEO Howard Schultz said.

The campaign has been criticized as opportunistic and inappropriate, coming in the wake of racially charged events such as national protests over police killings of black males. Others questioned whether Starbucks workers could spark productive conversations about race while serving drinks.

The phase-out is not a reaction to that pushback, Olson said.

“Nothing is changing. It’s all part of the cadence of the timeline we originally planned.”

He echoed the company memo, saying of the Race Together initiative, “We’re leaning into it hard.”

Schultz’s note to employees acknowledged the skeptics as an anticipated part of the outreach.

“While there has been criticism of the initiative — and I know this hasn’t

But why the Washington State Patrol?

For one thing, troopers often have to deal with the aftermath of these decisions — pile-ups for minor collisions, road rage incidents sparked by lack of patience, and the like.

But it’s more than that, Francis said.

“All of us are in the same boat together. Even me in a patrol car, I’m affected by congestion,” he said.

“So we’ll continue to do our thing. We’ll continue to push cars out of the way and arrest drunk drivers,” he said. “But we can help educate the public and change driver behavior to have an effect on congestion. These are things we can do immediately to have an effect on our drive times.”

The program is on a one-year timeline. Troopers plan to check back on commute times in March 2016 to see just how well their messages got across.

been easy for any of you — let me assure you that we didn’t expect universal praise,” it read.

He said the campaign at its core aims to make sure that “the promise of the American Dream should be available to every person in this country, not just a select few.”

But the campaign didn’t sit well with some Starbucks customers.

Many voiced on social media and elsewhere that they didn’t want a debate with their brew.

At a Starbucks in Pittsfield Township, Michigan, near Ann Arbor, two customers said on Sunday they didn’t think a coffee shop was the right place for race relations dialogue.

Ninette Musili, a junior biomolecular science major at the University of Michigan, said the campaign seemed to her like an insincere publicity stunt that wasn’t executed properly.

“Most people come to Starbucks for coffee,” said Musili, who is 19 and African-American. “Race is an uncomfortable thing

to bring up, especially in a Starbucks.”

Another customer, Shane Mulholland, 46, of Ann Arbor, also said Starbucks isn’t the venue to talk about race.

“They’re here for coffee. They’re not here to push their political agenda,” he said. “I even contemplated not coming here because of it.”

He said Starbucks should remain neutral on such topics because it’s an established brand, rather than risk alienating customers. “There are other ways you can go about doing things to stimulate interest in what you’re doing,” said Mulholland, who is white and runs an edible mushroom-growing business.

Discussions about race are necessary, but getting a message about it on a coffee cup is silly, Stephanie Nelson, 45, said at a Starbucks in Seattle, the chain’s home.

“That was pushing it a bit,” she said. “The broader discussion is good. Why not use your platform (as a company) for positive?”

ARLINGTON — A pet wallaby was found safe here Saturday evening, five days after he went missing.

Taz, a two-year-old male wallaby, was spotted at around 7:30 p.m. near Arlington High School.

His owner, Keri Rickard, received a call reporting his whereabouts and drove to the area. She found him, called his name and enticed him with his favorite food: Happy Hopper, an appleflavored, granola-like food for wallabies. He bounced right over for a treat.

“He’s as happy as can be,” Rickard said.

Taz had been missing since March 16. Rickard suspects something startled the grey-brown wallaby with a white belly enough that he jumped the six-foot fence that surrounds her back yard. The docile creature usually stays in the yard, grazing on grass, Rickard said.

“When he saw his yard last night, he tried to jump out of my arms,” she said.

“He was like ‘yay I’m home.’ ” Taz was the second wallaby to go missing in the Arlington area in the past three months.

Another wallaby, Bella, disappeared near Highway 530 northeast of town in January. She hasn’t been found. The search for her was called off in late February.

Bella went missing from the Outback Kangaroo Farm in Arlington. It is home to dozens of wallabies and wallaroos — the two smallest types of kangaroo.

Taz has no connection to Bella. Rickard got Taz as a baby from Fall City Wallaby Ranch in the Snoqualmie Valley. He now weighs about 35 pounds and stands less than three feet tall.

Taz is looking forward to a reunion with the Rickard family cat, Obafemi. He’s not so excited about seeing the dog, Carly, a corgi mix.

“He doesn’t like the dog but the dog sure likes him,” Rickard said.

Her children, Keira, 8, Kaylyn, 5, and baby James, are glad to have their pet home.

“We’re as happy as can be,” Rickard said. “There were a lot of people looking for him.”

Taylor, DDS, recommends mandibular appliance

I

f you decided to keep a sleep diary, what would you write?

“I sleep eight hours every night but I am always tired the next day.”

“My spouse is always complaining that I snore too much and sometimes I stop breathing.”

“I don’t remember part of my drive to work because I was so sleepy.” “ I wake up multiple times to go to the bathroom.”

“I can’t stand these headaches anymore.”

“I never wake up feeling refreshed.”

All of these situations are possible symptoms of sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing stops during sleep.

Sleep physicians attempt to solve sleep apnea problems through the use of a CPAP machine, but often times people using a CPAP machine find it very obtrusive, uncomfortable to wear and are disturbed by the noise it makes. In turn, the machine sits by the bed, untouched, and the apnea continues to invade a good night’s sleep, which takes a toll on your overall health.

Rebecca Taylor, DDS offers a comfortable alternative: a retainer-like device that opens up your airway.

The FDA-approved device, also known as a mandibular appliance, moves the jaw forward slightly to open the airway and allow normal breathing.

“When you treat someone who is not breathing

with CPR, before you give a breath, you tip their head back and tilt their jaw forward. WHY? Because this positioning of the head brings the tongue forward and off the back of the throat, thus opening up the airway, ” Dr. Taylor explained.

“The mandibular appliance works in much the same way; it holds the jaw in a comfortable forward position, clearing the airway, and helping people breathe easier at night.”

Comparing sleep apnea to the need for CPR may sound extreme, but as Dr. Taylor explains,

Civil war looming in Yemen The Shiite rebel leader is backed by supporters of the former president, and is fighting against al-Qaida and the current president.

Associated Press

New York: Orthodox community reconsiders hot plates on Sabbath HAMZA HENDAWI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Children play soccer in an open field in Aden, Yemen. The city is visibly expecting assault, whether from the forces of Hadi’s rival, ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has allied himself with the Shiite rebels, or from al-Qaida militants. Army and police forces loyal to Hadi and their allied militiamen patrol Aden’s streets and man checkpoints at key locations. Tanks guard roads leading to the city and children are largely staying home from school.

HAMZA HENDAWI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Members of a militia group loyal to Yemen’s president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, known as the popular committees, chew qat, Yemen’s favorite drug, as they sit next to their tank, guarding a major intersection in Aden, Yemen.

and fighters on the road from Taiz to neighboring Lahj province, apparently on their way to Aden.

“The decision (to mobilize) aims to confront the criminal forces, al-Qaida, and its partners and sisters, and all those who want to take cover in regions or using political pretexts,”

al-Houthi said. He accused Hadi of partnering with militant groups to destabilize Yemen.

Security officials said one person was killed and four wounded when rebel fighters opened fire on protesting crowds in Taiz against their advance in the city, which was known as a hotbed for protests

against Saleh in the beginning of 2011 that forced him to step down.

The security officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the press.

If the rebels hold onto Taiz, the capital of Yemen’s most populous province, it would pose a major threat to Hadi in Aden, just 140 kilometers (85 miles) away.

The turmoil has undermined Yemen’s ability to combat al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the target of a U.S. drone program, and the country now also faces a purported affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for a series of suicide bombings killing at least 137 people Friday.

A day earlier, U.S. troops evacuated a southern air base crucial to the drone program after al-Qaida militants seized a nearby city.

All these factors could push the Arab world’s most impoverished country, united only in the 1990s, back toward civil war.

Cruz to become first major candidate in 2016 race Other Republicans, including Bush, Walker, Rand and Rubio, are expected to follow.

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will become the first major candidate for president when he launches his campaign Monday, kicking off what’s expected to be a rush over the next few weeks of more than a dozen White House hopefuls into the 2016 campaign.

Cruz will formally get into the race during a morning speech at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, choosing to begin his campaign at the Christian college founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell rather than his home state of Texas or the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

It’s a fitting setting for Cruz, a

44-year-old Tea Party darling whose entry into the 2016 campaign drew cheers Sunday among fellow Sen. Ted Cruz, conservatives.

“The official R-Texas Republican pool of candidates will take a quantum leap forward with his announcement tomorrow,” said Amy Kremer, the former head of the Tea Party Express. Cruz’s announcement, she said, “will excite the base in a way we haven’t seen in years.”

Elected for the first time just three years ago, when he defeated an establishment figure in Texas politics with decades of experience in office, Cruz has hinted openly for more than a year that he wants to move down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Senate and into the White House. His plans were confirmed Sunday by one of his political

strategists, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity so as not to preclude the announcement.

While Cruz is the first Republican to declare his candidacy, he is all but certain to be followed by several big names in the GOP, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and two Senate colleagues, Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Florida’s Marco Rubio.

“Cruz is going to make it tough for all of the candidates who are fighting to emerge as the champion of the antiestablishment wing of the party,” said GOP strategist Kevin Madden. “That is starting to look like quite a scrum where lots of candidates will be throwing some sharp elbows.”

Following his election to the Senate in 2012, the former Texas solicitor general quickly established himself as an uncompromising conservative willing to take on Democrats and Republicans alike. He won

praise from Tea Party activists in 2013 for leading the GOP’s push to partially shut the federal government during an unsuccessful bid to block money for President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Cruz continues to be a leading voice for the health law’s repeal, and promises to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and scrap the Department of Education if elected president.

The son of an American mother and Cuban-born father, Cruz would be the nation’s first Hispanic president. While in New Hampshire this month, Cruz told voters his daughter, Caroline, had given him permission to join the presidential race in the hopes that the family puppy would get to play on the White House lawn instead of near their Houston high-rise condo.

“If you win, that means Snowflake will finally get a backyard to pee in,” Cruz said his daughter told him.

Lee Kuan Yew, founding father of Singapore, dies at 91 Associated Press SINGAPORE — Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore who helped transform the sleepy port into one of the world’s richest nations, died Monday, the government said. He was 91.

High court takes on Confederate plates

The Supreme Court will consider Monday the free speech rights of those who want special messages on their government-issued license plates.

The case comes from Texas, where the Department of Motor Vehicles Board turned down a request for a specialized plate from the Sons of Confederate Veterans, whose insignia contains the Confederate battle flag. The Texas board members have authorized hundreds of special requests — a Texan can celebrate “Dr Pepper” on his license plate — but rejected this one after receiving tens of thousands of comments about the design, most of them negative.

By Ahmed Al-Haj ADEN, Yemen — Yemen’s Shiite rebel leader escalated his attack against the country’s embattled president on Sunday, vowing to send fighters to the south where Abed-Rabbo Mansour Hadi has taken refuge. The fiery speech came hours after his militia seized the country’s third largest city of Taiz, an important station in its advance.

Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, who is backed by supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, said the mobilization is aimed at fighting al-Qaida and other militant groups, as well as forces loyal to Hadi who are in the south intending to further destabilize Yemen.

In his one hour speech, aired on al-Masirah TV, alHouthi called Hadi a “puppet” to international and regional powers who want to “import the Libyan model” to Yemen.

He named the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar as conspirators against Yemen and other countries in the region.

Yemen’s turmoil has deepened since the Shiite rebel group, known as the Houthis, seized Sanaa in September, putting Hadi under house arrest and eventually dissolving the country’s parliament.

They now control at least nine of the country’s 21 provinces.

Hadi, who is backed by the international community, fled to Aden — the country’s second most important city and economic hub — declaring it a de-facto capital earlier this month.

The escalation Sunday began when forces loyal to Saleh took over Taiz and its international airport. Security officials allied with Hadi said the rebel forces were already mobilizing tanks

He guided Singapore for 31 years until 1990, making it into a global trade and finance center.

Lee’s legacy includes an efficient government with little corruption, low tax rates to attract foreign investment, excellent schools and safe streets.

He has faced criticism, though, for using tough tactics to consolidate power.

Lee jailed some political

The incident began when a Wal-Mart employee noticed that a large group of people were in one of the store’s restrooms, department spokesman Bart Graves said. By the time Cottonwood police arrived, the group had made its way to the parking lot. Officers were immediately attacked and there was a struggle for an officer’s gun, Graves said. Seven suspects were taken into custody. The department said that they were driving a Chevrolet Suburban with an Idaho license plate.

Australia: Security gaps, isolated Muslims may explain ISIS recruiting The London-based International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence reports that between 100 and 250 Australians have joined Sunni militants in Iraq and Syria.

Possible explanations include that some Australian Muslims are poorly integrated with the rest of the country, and that Islamic State recruiters have given Australia particular attention. In addition, the Australian government failed to keep tabs on some citizens who had been radicalized, and moderate Muslims have been put off by some of Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s comments about their community.

Japan: People disagree over massive tsunami sea walls Four years after a towering tsunami ravaged much of Japan’s northeastern coast, efforts to fend off future disasters are focusing on a nearly 250-mile chain of cement sea walls, at places nearly five stories high. Opponents of the $6.8 billion plan argue that the massive concrete barriers will damage marine ecology and scenery, hinder vital fisheries and actually do little to protect residents who are mostly supposed to relocate to higher ground. Those in favor say the sea walls are a necessary evil, and one that will provide some jobs, at least for a time.

County not adding buildable land

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal Editor

It can be wonky, but it also can have a huge impact on home prices.

Snohomish County is putting together its comprehensive plan update, a once-every-10-years exercise looking at future growth in and around cities.

This year, it looks like the county won’t be adding any land to the urban growth areas where development can occur. County planners found that there’s enough supply of land to support development.

But builders say the number of lots for future homes is tight and it’s getting tighter.

“We’re saying our members who are out there every day say there’s not as much supply as you think and that’s bringing up the cost of housing,” said Shannon Affholter, executive director for the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties.

There’s a reason for the difference between what planners are projecting and builders are seeing, Affholter said. A report used by planners to project growth came out in 2012.

It relied on a snapshot of a

county still struggling through the recession. Since then, the county has experienced a serious upswing in development.

“We have faith in the county’s demographers and the work they do,” said Mike Pattison, the association’s Snohomish County manager for governmental affairs. “We think largely the disconnect is the timeframe of the report because it covered the recession.”

Snohomish County planning director Clay White says the report — what is called the “buildable lands report” — shows there’s enough land for development for years into the future even if development is on the rise.

“The economy goes up and down at different intervals,” White said. “Sometimes there’s more growth and sometimes there’s less.”

The Master Builders aren’t planning to ask the County Council to add land into the urban growth areas.

Instead, they’ll ask for some tweaks in the update, which is scheduled to be finished by June.

And then push for larger additions in the next comprehensive plan, which will be handled

(O)ur members who are out there every day say there’s not as much supply as you think and that’s bringing up the cost of housing.

— Shannon Affholter, Master Builders Association

in 2023. (A state law change is requiring future comprehensive plans to be updated every eight years.)

“In our view, the day after this comprehensive plan passes, we want to urge the county to look ahead to increase the land supply with potential (urban growth area) expansions,” Pattison said.

The comprehensive plan is a guide to growth in the county that looks at density of neighborhoods, expected population trends and employment growth.

It also looks at traffic, public

facilities and even parks.

In general, areas within cities and the urban growth boundary have four or more homes per acre. Areas outside of the urban growth area are limited to one home for every 5 acres.

In the late 1990s, the statebegan requiring counties to generate the buildable lands report, said Ryan Countryman, principal planner for the county.

So far, the county has finished three of these reports, which were published in 2002, 2007 and 2012.

For the first report, the county actually hired a research firm to survey hundreds of property owners about their intentions on their property.

Those projections have proven very accurate, Countryman said.

For the 2012 report, the county didn’t have the money to hire an outside research firm.

But planners were aided in their analysis by the fact that the county had already issued permits for many projects pre-recession.

“Many of the permits that we’re still processing, they got applied for in 2004 to 2006,” Countryman said.

But the Master Builders Association says the economic climate

in the past two years has been far different from the economic climate between 2007 to 2012.

“The numbers in our mind are so shaky,” Pattison said. “The most recent buildable lands report largely covered the recession years when development came to a standstill.”

As buildable land supply dwindles, the cost of homes go up, because builders have to pay more for lots. And that causes other problems.

“Transportation is an issue,” Affholter said. “People are having to live further away from their work, because that’s where they can afford a house.”

He suggests that more buildable land be added around job centers like Boeing. Pattison said the association won’t challenge the county’s numbers. They do hope the County Council will make some tweaks to the plan.

And there’s another option, too.

In the years between comprehensive plan updates, individuals and cities can petition to have land added into urban growth areas on a case-by-case basis in what is called the “docket process.”

“It’s not for the faint of heart,” Pattison said. “It’s a costly, risky process.”

Will the apartment boom go bust?

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

biz bits

LYNNWOOD — Is the Puget Sound region getting its fill of apartments?

One economist thinks so.

Snohomish County has seen a strong increase in the number of new apartments, condos and other multi-family residences in the past three years and the trend is even stronger in King County, said Bill Conerly, a Lake Oswego, Oregon-based economic consultant.

The reason for the apartment boom is a generation of Millennials — the children of Baby Boomers — who enjoy living in an urban lifestyle, he said.

“The people who are loving apartment- or condo-living today are young and childless. They’re going to have children and they’re going to change their attitude,” Conerly said. “They don’t believe they’re going to change their attitude, but, believe you me, the ‘let’s-go-out-every-nightpushing-a-stroller’ isn’t quite as nice.”

“Walking down to the bar every night is a little more challenging when your toddler isn’t allowed into the bar.”

Conerly was speaking Thursday at the Lynnwood Convention Center to about 220 gathered for Economic Alliance Snohomish County’s annual forecast.

He told the crowd that multifamily housing has been about 30 percent of all construction in Snohomish County historically.

But it’s been 40 percent to 50 percent of all housing in the past three years in the county. That mirrors a national trend.

He doesn’t believe that it’s the need for cheaper housing.

“If they were looking for cheap housing, they would move to Tukwila,” Conerly said. “They want the lifestyle of walk to coffee, walk to restaurant, walk to the bar.”

If the Millennials do tire of apartment living, that could be good for Snohomish County, Conerly said. When they move

Snohomish County has seen a sharp increase in construction of apartments, condos and other multifamily housing over the past three years. One economist believes that trend could soon end.

out, they’ll be looking for homes, schools and yards.

“I don’t know if it’s this year, next year or the year after,” Conerly said. “But I think five to 10 years from now, we’ll be saying, ‘Look at all of those empty apartments.’

And look at the strong demand for single-family homes and yards will come back into vogue. That’s positive for Snohomish County that’s pretty suburban.”

While that portends well for the county, there are other concerns on the horizon, Conerly said. He pointed to federal defense spending that has been on a decline for the past few years. He said that

Friedrich brings more than 20 years of real estate experience to the job and his coverage area includes Washington as well as the entire Western United States.

there’s talk of new round of base closures.

While that’s at least a couple of years away, people in the county should be aware of it, Conerly said.

“Let me just say it is like rolling the dice,” Conerly said. “If you’re thinking about Naval Station Everett, the odds are on your side, the odds are clearly on your side.

But if it comes up snake eyes, you lose a very big facility.”

Another concern for the county is a recent drop in exports, in part due to the American dollar being stronger than other currency, Conerly said.

Dr. Thomas Yetman, CEO of Providence Medical Group Northwest Region with Providence Health and Services, has taken on the role of March for Babies chairman to raise awareness and important funding to provide for babies who are born premature or with birth defects.

Yetman encourages the community to show its support and sign up at www.marchforbabies.org

Also speaking at the forecast was state economist Steve Lerch, who told the crowd that he believes the economy looks to improve for the next couple of years.

He said job growth has been strong in Snohomish and King counties, there’s a back log of jet orders for Boeing and oil prices being down is good for everyone outside of the states of North Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Texas “Cheaper energy is really a good thing for consumers and it’s a good thing for the state of Washington,” Lerch said.

He added that there’s some concerns. China buys a lot of goods from Washington state and its economy is no longer growing at double-digit rates.

Housing starts are trending up, but remain below the state’s historic average. And there are still a lot of long-term unemployed still looking for jobs.

“What we are continuing to see is sort of moderate improvement with the economy,” Lerch said.

“Things are certainly getting better.

But, because I’m an economist, I can’t just be robustly cheery. I need to mention some things that are maybe not so good.”

IN OUR VIEW | Philanthropists create litigation fund

Global tobacco fight grows Despite declines in smoking in developing nations, getting people hooked on nicotine remains a hugely profitable business for Big Tobacco, which reaped at least $44 billion in profits in 2013. With the decline in smoking in developing nations, Big Tobacco naturally turned its attentions to poorer, developing nations to peddle their cigarettes. (In developed nations, they are mainly trying to hook kids with candy-flavored nicotine gum, smokeless tobacco and the various vape devices.)

So it is encouraging news indeed to hear that healthminded philanthropists Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg are establishing a fund to help developing countries fight back against the hugely expensive legal battles that Big Tobacco

is known to wage. The antitobacco trade litigation fund, established by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said countries with limited resources should not be bullied into making bad health policy choices. For example, they said, Uruguay has been fighting a legal challenge by Philip Morris International since 2010 against the use of graphic health warnings on tobacco products.

The fund will help nations challenge the tobacco industry’s use of international trade agreements to threaten and prevent countries from passing tobacco control, Bloomberg said. “This is about sovereignty and whether a country has the right to set its own public health policies,” he said.

Unfortunately, China is not

one of the countries trying to reduce tobacco use, which erases gains made elsewhere.

The health campaign group World Lung Foundation reported this week that in 2014, more than 5.8 trillion cigarettes were smoked, similar to 2013, as rising tobacco use in China counters declines in other countries.

“The significant reductions in smoking rates in the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and other countries that implement increasingly tight tobacco control laws have been offset by the growing consumption in a single nation: China,” the WLF report said.

The group reports that globally, 6.3 million people died from smoking-related illness in 2014, and if the current trends continue, a billion people will

die from smoking and exposure to tobacco this century.

Trying to reduce the rates in China is particularly challenging, the International Business Times reported, “because a state-owned agency called the Chinese National Tobacco Co. profits from tobacco production and is also in charge of regulating the industry.” This arrangement means that the government benefits from the country’s estimated 300 million smokers, who account for 1 in 3 smokers worldwide.

Perhaps after the antitobacco litigation fund gets underway, philanthropists can establish a fund specifically to convince China to see the human (and eventual economic) value in getting out of the tobacco business.

President Obama’s intentions, just like those of most of his Republican rivals, are probably good. His logic, conclusions and policies are mistaken. These individuals (from Boehner to Clinton, from Bush to Schwab, and so on) all share the blind faith that government bureaucracy, in the hands of those who are so much smarter than “average voters” (suckers like you and me who get burned), will save us. They are wrong. Yes, a dose of reason would help us all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ EDUCATION

Union promotes innovation I feel compelled to respond to the sarcastic letter to the editor by Mr. Christenson on Monday.

1. Most teachers spend much of their own time preparing lessons, evaluating student work and developing innovative activities to enhance student learning.

2. Most teachers spend a great deal of their own money buying supplies and material for their classroom.

3. The teachers union promotes and encourages innovation, and creativity in the classroom. The teachers union opposes anything that would limit or restrict the innovation and creativity of the classroom teacher.

I would also like to congratulate Mr. Brown on his outstanding teaching of his students in the Monroe School District. Washington is filled with outstanding teachers like Mr. Brown, including the fourth-grade teacher who will inherit his students next year.

Finally I would like to thank all the outstanding teachers that gave of themselves so selflessly in time, money and energy, to teach my children and my grandchildren.

■ WORLD PEACE

Seeking world without WMD Becoming a proud Navy wife has opened my eyes to one of the most crucial dangers of our time. While my sailor was at sea, sleepless nights shone a light on a terrifying, hushed truth. The threat of nuclear war quietly looms over us while members of Congress repeatedly reject diplomacy with Iran. No one will ever be safe in a world with nuclear weapons. Our elected officials undermine current negotiations to protect their own interests, keeping us in the dark and from moving forward.

Recently, Sen. Cotton, along with 46 other members of Congress sent a letter to Iranian leaders stating that any nuclear agreements would end with Obama’s presidential term.

Obeying international law and keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of our enemies does not seem to concern Cotton and Co. They endanger us all by suggesting sanctions that have failed repeatedly in the past and playing political games for selfish gains.

Reason would be welcome I read in the March 14 Herald Opinion Page that Sid Schwab proposes we “base actions on rational thought.”

One could hardly disagree. He then goes on suggest Republicans’ support for Israel is predicated on a biblical story of “the burning of Jews for all eternity if they don’t admit their evilness and convert.”

I think his train of rational thought just jumped the tracks, exploding in a little fireball of sulphur and confusion.

There’s a lot in the current GOP deserving of a skeptical eye, especially the faction that only finds patriotism in seemingly endless warfare, but I’d say the same about the Democratic leadership as well. Let’s reject any politician who supports “an agenda that favors only the already favored.”

Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush appear to be the two dismal frontrunners of the moment.

■ WOLVES

Michael Fischer Everett

Necessary to keep protection Polls have shown overwhelming support for wolf protection in Washington. In particular, 72 percent of Washingtonians agree that wolves should continue to be protected under the Endangered Species Act until they are fully recovered.

Washington has only recently begun seeing wolf recovery in the state. It was not that long ago gray wolves were brought back from the brink of extinction. As a nation, we have spent millions on their recovery. It is important to safeguard that progress from the possibility of de-stabilizing a fragile population. It would be a shame to remove state and federal protections before the final goal is complete.

Wildlife management decisions should be based on the best available science, not politics. If Congress de-lists wolves from the Endangered Species Act, it would completely undermine one of our national bedrock environmental law, a law that Americans rely on as a safety net for our nation’s wildlife, plants, birds and fish.

Coffee’s for sippin’; papers are for opinin’

I

’m standing in the Starbucks line behind 10 other sleepyheads waiting to order my tall skinny cappuccino, otherwise known as a shot of coffee described as I wish to be.

Absolutely no one is talking about race.

In fact, no one is talking at all except to mumble an order while checking email.

I confess I’m not usuKATHLEEN PARKER ally here at this 8-ish hour but ventured out in a springtime snowstorm to investigate the current fuss over Starbucks’ suggestion that its baristas discuss race with patrons.

Oh, you didn’t know there was a fuss at Starbucks about race? Why, then, you must be a normal human living a regular life away from the angst-inducing travails of urbanites who think nothing of spending $3.47 for a tiny jolt of java.

Here’s the scoop for those who missed it.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is concerned about the seemingly growing racial divide in America and decided to use his considerable forum of 11,000 coffee shops to step up the conversation.

His mantra is “Race Together,” which Schultz urged his baristas to write on coffee cups while chatting up customers about race problems. I’m not sure how this would go: “So, how long have you been a racist?”

As long as we’re going there, why not a little banter about abortion? How about world hunger while you stuff yourself with a 460-calorie cranberry-orange scone?

Want extra sugar in that salted caramel hot chocolate? Come to think of it, Starbucks would do the country a greater favor by cutting back on its sugars.

Schultz isn’t new to corporate activism, but this time he seems aggressively out of touch with his target audience. Nobody wants to be lectured before her coffee; Starbucks denizens, who often are toting newspapers and laptops, don’t want to be lectured, period.

Schultz is joined in his campaign by USA Today President and Publisher Larry Kramer. The two co-authored an op-ed, “Why Race Together? Because diversity matters,” and have pledged their resources to advance race relations.

Despite their best efforts, the only sign of “Race Together” in my neighborhood Starbucks was a single inscribed cup by the register. The two baristas seemed in no mood to talk about race or anything else.

(It’s a job, Howard, not a calling.)

But the morning was young after all.

Taking a seat and opening my laptop, I connected to the Starbucks Wi-Fi and quickly realized that by virtue of signing on, I had essentially joined the movement.

The Wi-Fi network’s log-in screen urged me to follow links to USA Today, where I could read more about race and even take a test that would reveal my racial biases.

Here I thought I was going to drink coffee, not engage my fellow humans, toss my empty cup in the appropriate recycling receptacle and bow out without actually genuflecting. Instead, by merely walking through the door, I had committed a revolutionary act.

Of course, I took the test.

Not to brag, but I scored perfectly — as far as it went. The link failed on question seven. But I did learn something: The fastest-growing group of immigrants to this country isn’t Hispanics but Asians.

And most whites in the South have some percentage of African blood.

Other race-related links were available, but I skipped them so I could meditate on my test results and consider how they might help reduce racial tensions in places like Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City.

I didn’t get far, probably because the music was too loud, but I began thinking that, oh well, there’s no harm in talking about race, especially when nobody’s really talking about it. Or is there? Last week, Starbucks’ senior vice president for global communications deleted his Twitter account after he was attacked by vicious tweeters about the race campaign.

(I guess they didn’t want to talk, either.) In separate comments, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar warned that Starbucks’ race talk could escalate into violence.

The latter seems unlikely. The latte and cappuccino set isn’t generally inclined to fisticuffs. Nor are they likely to be seduced (or enraged) by marketing posing as virtue. So what’s new? As for Schultz and Kramer, the proper place for a race debate is, indeed, in the op-ed section. As for Starbucks, sometimes a cup of coffee is just a cup of coffee.

Actually, always.

Lawrence “Larry” Edwin Ames

March 21, 1927 - March 14, 2015

Dad was born in Northport,

Wash. into the loving family of Walter and Elfrieda Ames.

He grew up in his parent’s home with his five siblings and they shared a happy childhood in their small town nestled on the east bank of the mighty Columbia River.

He attended Northport High School and like many of his generation, put his education on hold to ser ve his country during the Second World War, joining the US Navy and traveling across the Pacific to China. Dad’s penchant for adventure, travel and his avid interest in other cultures was no doubt ignited by his experiences as an 18 year old Seaman First Class transported from a small town to the bustling city of San Diego, Calif. the warm beaches of Oahu, Hawaii, the urban expanse of Shanghai and on into rural China. Growing up during the Depression and seeing firsthand the impact of poverty in his travels, fostered in Dad a deep sense of egalitarianism. His conviction that education was the solution to social problems coupled with his concern for the welfare of others were traits that made Dad an extremely gifted teacher. Dad’s “GungHo” style was infectious to everyone around him and his ability to plan a family camping trip, a simple lesson, or a large complex project made him a ver y effective administrator, school principal and a loving and devoted father.

Af ter leaving the Navy in 1946, Dad followed his passion for baseball and played minor league ball for two ye a r s b e fo r e e n ro l l i n g a t WSC. 1952 was a banner year as Dad graduated alongside his brothers, Walt and Clarence, and in June married his college sweetheart, Joan Whealdon from Chinook, Wash. Dad earned his MS in 1954 and quickly landed a teaching position in the bucolic bayside town of Mukilteo, Wash. beginning his career at Rose Hill School. Af ter three years

Dad and Mom’s penchant for adventure found them on a ship en route to Panama.

With two small children in tow a n d o n e o n t h e way, they left their charming community for a four year stint in the Canal Zone, where Dad taught school and ran the swimming program.

Returning to Mukilteo in the early 60’s, with a fourth child added to the ranks while in Panama, the family settled on Third Ave and later moved up onto Goat Trail Road to a bigger home to accommodate a family of five children. This included a k i t c h e n b u i l t to D a d a n d Mom’s specifications, as he was a man that knew his way around the stove top, the barbecue grill, oven or fire pit. Whether fish, fowl or red meat, Dad relished the time cooking for family and friends and sharing a scrumptious meal. His waffle recipe, oysters on the half shell and martinis are legendary.

Dad worked the remainder of his career with the Mukilteo Schools at Rose Hill, Serene Lake, and Explorer Middle School, retiring in 1984.

Dedicated to his profession, Dad continued his support of the school district fine arts and early education initiatives. In addition to his school activities, Dad did many things to help those faced with great challenges in their lives. After retiring, he was very active in the Mukilteo community, volunteering with St. Vincent de Paul, St. John’s Catholic Church, and Friends of the Library.

Dad and Mom traveled extensively before and after retirement, taking trips to Europe, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand as well as destinations in Canada and all across the US. Dad’s ability to rapidly build a rapport and extend friendship wherever he traveled or to whomever he met was, to h i s l a s t d ay s , o n e o f h i s most enduring and endearing legacies.

He is survived by his five children and spouses: Gaylen and Mike, Monica and Frank, John and Jan, Ann a n d To m , a n d D av i d a n d Diane; grandchildren: Ryan, Sara, Katie, Garth, Walt, and Zoe; great-granddaughter, Olivia; his sisters, Maybelle and Rosemarie; brother Clarence; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers please consider a gift to the Mukilt e o S c h o o l s Fo u n d a t i o n , specifying either the Sno-Isle TECH Skill Center; the Early Childhood Education & Assistance Program; or the Mukilteo Schools Fine Arts Program, at: http://www.mukilteo schoolsfoundation.org.

Larry and his family extend special thanks to the wonderful and gifted people at Providence Hospital and Ida Culver Broadview for their kindness and expert care.

His Memorial service will be held Friday, March 27, 2 015 a t 2 : 0 0 p . m . a t S t John’s Catholic Church, 829 Third St., Mukilteo, WA.

Af ter completing his accounting degree at the U n i ve r s i t y o f Wa s h i n g to n (‘61), he began a life-long career in public accounting, eventually establishing his ow n f i r m , L a n g a b e e r, McKernan, Burnett and Co. with of fices in Everett, Mar ysville and Stanwood, Wash. He very much enjoyed working with his many clients, and missed them after his retirement in 2009.

Kent was a long-time member and past president of the Marysville Noon Rotar y, ser ved as a board member for several organizations including Cascade Land Conservancy (now For terra), Senior Services of Snohomish C o u n t y, P r i v a t e I n d u s t r y Council of Snohomish County, Alternative School Ad v i s o r y B o a rd a n d F i r s t Presbyterian Church.

In his spare time he enjoyed gardening, especially growing vegetables and dahlias at his homes at Lake Stickney, Priest Point and finally in North Everett. He and Julie traveled frequently to Hawaii, and to a number of other places in the world.

The most adventurous was an 18 day trip through the Grand Canyon in a wooden dory. He cherished time with family at his rustic cabin near the Sauk River, hiking, fishing and cooking on the wood stove.

He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Julie L a n g a b e e r ; h i s d a u g h te r, Sally (Allen) Price; his former daughter-in-law, Katie (Jeff) Grimm; and his beloved grandchildren, Austin, Alex, Colby and Madison; his brother, Richard (Jacqui); his niece, Brenna (Erik); n e p h e w, J a m i e ( A i m e e ) ; several cousins and a large extended family.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Michael.

The family is grateful to Kent’s wonderful caregiver, Barbara Locantore, who has been a great help for the past year and a half.

A memorial service is planned for 11:30 a.m. on Friday March 27, 2015 at the First Presbyterian Church, 2936 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, WA. A reception will immediately follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the American Parkinson’s Disease Association, 150 Nickerson, Suite 100, Seattle, WA, 98109, or to your favorite charity.

On imaginary friends, self-directed play

DAILY CROSSWORD

T

oday’s parents tend to worry about all manner of things that deserve not even second thoughts. Imaginary friends, for example. I’ve been asked many times by mothers if they should worry that their preschoolers have imaginary friends that they seem to think and, in some cases, even insist are real.

I’m not aware of any specific research on the subject, but I’ve long thought that imaginary friends sharpen language and social skills and probably even improve overall neurological functioning. As they are a product of imagination, they exercise creative abilities. Perhaps best of all, imaginary friends keep young children occupied and out from under foot. Celebrate them!

Both of my kids had imaginary friends. Eric’s was Jackson Jonesberry. For Amy, it was Shinyarinka Sinum. They would play for hours at a time with these playmates, both of whom showed up rather suddenly and then, about a year later in each case, simply disappeared and were never spoken of again.

Along these same lines, parents need not be concerned about young children who tell fantastical stories about things they claim have happened to them but obviously have not — a 4-year-old who insists that he actually rode a

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN dragon and fought and defeated an evil wizard, for example.

Some parents mistakenly think these stories are lies and must be punished. No, this is not lying. By definition, lying is either harmful to other people or purposefully meant to conceal wrongdoing. A 4-year-old who insists he rode a dragon and fought a wizard guilty of neither.

Parents once asked me about their 4-year-old who told such creative tales fairly often and could not be threatened or even punished into admitting they were not the truth. Did he, they asked, have a problem distinguishing fantasy from reality? Of course he did, but this is nothing to be concerned about with a child this age who is functioning normally otherwise.

He is simply highly imaginative, and the imagination of a child is a thing to be treasured, especially in

these digital times.

And while I’m on the subject, please, parents, do not give toddlers and preschoolers digital, screen-based devices with which to occupy themselves. There’s no evidence that these gadgets (you know their names) produce future computer geniuses and a growing body of evidence that they interfere with normal brain development. Young children need to be engaged in play that is, for the most part, self-directed and open-ended; play that involves gross- and fine-motor skills.

Playing with other children (which strengthens social skills) should be balanced with a certain amount of solitary play (which strengthens imagination and creative thinking). That’s right! Play dates are fine, but young children also need to play by themselves.

Eminent developmental psychologist Burton White (“The First Three Years of Life”) said he regarded the ability to play independently for at least an hour at a time on a regular basis as the best marker of good development in a 3-year-old.

So if your youngster is playing in his room, chattering away as if there’s another child with him, don’t go “check.” Just leave well enough alone.

“Derrick” is loving, considerate, helpful, smart, hard-working, and he wants to spend time with me as often as possible.

This is my second marriage. I have five kids ages 11 to 15, work full-time and try to fit in regular exercise.

When my kids are with their dad, Derrick is home every minute I’m there and we do a lot together — hiking, biking, running, movies, dining or just hanging out. He leaves for work after I do and comes home before I arrive.

My issue is, if I want any time alone, I have to leave the house. I used to have alone time before I met him, but now it’s very rare.

Abby, I need a little time for myself once in a while.

I am very independent and don’t need a companion every minute of every day.

I’m becoming unhappy and depressed because I have no privacy.

I have told Derrick what I need, but how do I realistically get him out of the house so I can have some time to myself? He has a lot of friends, but he wants to spend his time with me. — Needs Space In Nevada Dear Needs: Suggest Derrick schedule some regular dates with his male friends — a golf game, card game, some other sporting event, etc. He might enjoy that, and it will give you the breathing room you need.

Dear Abby: My family is big on sports and discusses them at every gathering, big or small. I played sports growing up, but I don’t care to follow them in my adult life like the rest of my family does. Sometimes I’m left out of conversations because of my lack of knowledge on the current stats, etc. I have always refrained from speaking about the things I’m passionate about because of lack of interest from them.

My good friend said maybe I’m considered less of a man by my brothers and my dad because of my apathy about sports. I served eight years in the Army, with four deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan, and was wounded twice. Not a man?

This issue may seem childish, but it is something that affects me to this day. Do you have any suggestions? — Sitting On The Sidelines Dear Sitting: Yes. Stop listening to the armchair analysis of that “friend.”

When sports enthusiasts spout statistics, what they really want is someone to listen and appreciate their acumen.

It’s sad that you haven’t been able to let your father and brothers know about the things that interest you, but has it occurred to you perhaps you should have spoken up more about your passions? Not everyone is the same; not everyone is interested in the same things. It doesn’t mean that anyone is more or less “manly” than someone else. You’re a military vet, so stop measuring yourself by anyone else’s yardstick because it isn’t fair to you or to your family.

‘Magnum, P.I.’ property sold HONOLULU — A sprawling beachfront home used in the filming of the 1980s television show “Magnum, P.I.” has been sold for $8.7 million.

An attorney for President Barack Obama’s close friend Marty Nesbitt said Thursday that his client

bought the property. Seth Madorsky says Nesbitt didn’t have any partners or co-investors in the deal.

The 3-acre property is in Waimanalo, next to the town of Kailua where the Obama family has spent the winter holidays.

The Washington Post

‘Pretty Woman’ gifted pop culture

By Stephanie Merry The Washington Post

Twenty-five years before Lily James shoehorned herself into a princess gown to play “Cinderella,” another up-and-comer donned a differently problematic dress for a romantic fairy tale that also struck box office gold.

That movie was “Pretty Woman.” Julia Roberts played the street-walking Cinderella in a now immortal bikini-dress hybrid that only barely covered her nether regions. But the character’s obliques-baring get-up and street-wise attitude landed her a week-long “date,” if you will, with a Prince Charming in the form of a corporate shark played by Richard Gere.

“Pretty Woman,” which opened 25 years ago today, holds up remarkably well, if you can turn off that think-piece portion of your

BUENA VISTA PICTURES

brain. In fact, silly endings aside, “Pretty Woman” is delightful, and that’s thanks, almost entirely, to Roberts. But she is just one of the gifts the movie bestowed on our culture.

Here they are, in no particular order.

1. Julia Roberts and her mile-wide smile Roberts earned her second Oscar nomination

— and second Golden Globe win — for playing Vivian.

2. A brief but glorious golden era of chick flicks “Pretty Woman” was on the front end of a chick flick resurgence that spawned many a rom-com deluxe.

Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson and, of course, Julia Roberts stayed very busy during this period, and while the movies weren’t all winners — remember “Kate & Leopold”? — many were very sweet, extremely funny and still entertaining years later. Even Seth Rogen’s college kid character in “Undeclared” loved “You’ve Got Mail.”

3. Go West Wait, you don’t remember the British duo that became (briefly) inescapable stateside after their song “King of Wishful Thinking” appeared on the soundtrack?

4. Fashion There is plenty of conspicuous consumption in

“Pretty Woman.”

5. The resurgence of Richard Gere The 1982 blockbuster “An Officer and a Gentleman” cemented Gere’s leading man image. Then, he practically disappeared — that is, until 1990, which brought him the one-two punch of “Pretty Woman” and the moderately successful thriller “Internal Affairs.” Suddenly the former pretty boy was a silver-fox grown man.

6. Cover art Before “Pretty Woman,” posters for romantic comedies featured goofy scenarios that sort of (but not really) summed up the plot of the movie. After “Pretty Woman” it was all about the two stars.

7. Proof of the power of character actors 8. The line we’re still hoping to use one day on a snippy boutique employee “You work on commission, right? Big mistake.

Big. Huge!”

effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers.

In 1940, the radio program “Truth or Consequences,” hosted by Ralph Edwards, was first broadcast over four CBS radio stations in New York and New England.

In 1942, the first Japanese-Americans evacuated by the U.S. Army during World War II arrived at the internment camp in Manzanar, California.

In 1983, Dr. Barney Clark,

recipient of a Jarvik permanent artificial heart, died at the University of Utah Medical Center after 112 days with the device.

In 2011, Academy Award-winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died in Los Angeles at age 79.

Five years ago: Claiming a historic triumph, President Barack Obama signed a $938 billion health care overhaul, declaring “a new season in America.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, March 23, the 82nd day of 2015.

There are 283 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On March 23, 1965, America’s first two-person space mission took place as Gemini 3 blasted off with astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young aboard for a nearly 5-hour flight.

On this date: In 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial

Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!”

In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, began their journey back east.

In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy.

Gonzaga rolls to easy 87-68 win over Iowa

JOHN BOYLE

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Methodically, unselfishly and above all emphatically, Gonzaga University took apart a very good Iowa team on Sunday afternoon, earning an 87-68 NCAA Tournament victory that sends the Bulldogs on to the Sweet 16 for the first time in six years.

Likewise, the lopsided outcome sends expectations for Gonzaga’s basketball team soaring to perhaps an all-time high.

With eye-popping offensive precision, Gonzaga led this thirdround tournament game from the first basket to the final horn.

The Bulldogs used a 12-2 scoring burst midway through the opening half to push their lead to double digits, and the margin stayed there the rest of the way, including a high of 22 points in the closing seconds.

All in all, acknowledged Gonzaga head coach Mark Few, “that was a lot of fun. I mean, we played great.”

Forward Kyle Wiltjer led the way with 24 points and three See GONZAGA, Page C2

EATTLE — The Gonzaga Bulldogs didn’t want to win Sunday night to silence their critics as much as they wanted to earn dinner at Benihana in Houston next week.

OK, that might be oversimplifying things just a little bit. But what has become abundantly clear over the past few days is that, yes, the Bulldogs are well aware of the fact that they came into this year’s NCAA Tournament having lost in the round or 32 five straight times. It probably doesn’t help that we keep bringing it up, but that they also aren’t motivated by a need to prove anyone wrong as much as the desire to extend what for them has been a very enjoyable See BOYLE, Page C2

Tips beat Chiefs 5-4 in season finale Herald staff SPOKANE — The Everett Silvertips warmed up for their first-round playoff series against the Spokane Chiefs in winning fashion.

Everett completed its 2014-15 regular season by beating Spokane 5-4 Sunday in a match-up between teams that will face one another in the postseason.

Sunday’s result wasn’t really about sending a message — both teams rested several of their top players as the game had nothing at stake.

But the Tips still finished off the third-best season in the franchise’s 12-season history with a win.

Michigan St. KOs Virginia again Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Travis Trice received a text message Sunday from Golden State Warriors forward and former Michigan State player Draymond Green that read: “Don’t let this be your last game.”

The Spartans’ senior guard texted back, “It won’t.”

Trice made sure of that Sunday, scoring 23 points and helping Michigan State knock second-seeded Virginia out of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year, 60-54.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Trice scored 13 of his team’s first 15 points on 5-of-5 shooting, including three 3-pointers, to help the Spartans build a 15-4 lead.

Branden Dawson added 15 points and nine rebounds for

the seventh-seeded Spartans, who advanced to the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in the last eight seasons under coach Tom Izzo. The Spartans will play Oklahoma in Syracuse, New York, on Friday.

“Our thing was attack from the get go and get a lead,” said Trice, in his first full season as a starter after three years as a reserve.

“Big-time players make bigtime plays (and) that’s what Travis did,” said Dawson, who started playing with Trice in AAU ball.

With top seed Villanova having lost Saturday, it is the first time a No. 1 and 2 seed from the same region didn’t advance to the Sweet 16 since Kentucky and Gonzaga in 2004.

The Cavaliers (30-4), the first Atlantic Coast Conference team

to lose after a 9-0 start in the tournament, were led by Anthony Gill’s 11 points and Darion Atkins’ 10 points and 14 rebounds. Izzo made some defensive tweaks to his game plan after Michigan State’s first-round win over Georgia, and the Spartans (25-11) stole a page from last year’s regional semifinal win by limiting the Cavaliers to 29.8 percent shooting. Virginia finished 2 of 17 from 3-point range.

Izzo said the Spartans “changed what we do” defensively in a day-and-a-half.

Instead of having his guards jump to the ball and give help, Izzo relied more on his big men in the middle to stay disciplined — and not cheat or go for steals — and guard against Virginia’s flare screens.

season.

And really, the way the Bulldogs dismantled Iowa in an 87-68 victory Sunday, anyone without a rooting interest — either for a team left in the field or against Gonzaga — should be happy to see such an offensively gifted team move on in a year when so many are lamenting increasing number of slow-paced, low-scoring college basketball teams.

Oh yes, you were promised an anecdote about Benihana earlier, weren’t you? Sorry ‘bout that. On a weekend when the Zags could have been letting the stress get to them, knowing that this year’s team, which earned a No. 2 seed a path to the Sweet 16 that kept them in their home state, absolutely had to get the Sweet 16 monkey off their back, at least one of their top players took to the court in a huge game dreaming of a nice dinner.

“Tonight we were extra motivated because we were going to dinner last night and we passed one of my favorite restaurants, Benihana, and we are going to a burger joint,” said junior forward Kyle Wiltjer, who scored a game-high 24 points on 10 for 12 shooting. “So I was like, ‘Coach, we should go to go to Benihana.’

And one of our assistants said, ‘Hey, if you get the win tonight, we’ll go to Benihana in Houston.’

So I was extra motivated because now we get to go to Benihana. So I’m hyped.”

Louisville 66, Northern Iowa 53 SEATTLE — Terry Rozier scored 25 points to lead the fourth-seeded Cards to the victory. The Cardinals will play eighth-seeded North Carolina State on Friday.

Oklahoma 72, Dayton 66 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jordan Woodard had 16 points and Buddy Hield scored 15, helping Oklahoma advanced to the second weekend of the tourney.

sinking all five first-half field goal attempts, including three from the 3-point line, for 13 points. And when he went to the bench with his second foul later in the half, other teammates stepped up.

Guard Gary Bell Jr., the Kentridge High School product, scored eight points in the final four minutes as the Bulldogs stretched their halftime lead to 46-29.

“They have (offensive) weapons any way you look at it,” said Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery.

“They’ve got shooters, they can throw it inside, they can drive the ball and they share the ball.

“They’re a very hard team to guard,” agreed Iowa guard Mike Gesell. “They have weapons at all five positions. They’ve got a very good point guard, they’ve got (good) bigs, and they’ve got wings that can shoot it. They’ve got all the pieces.”

In the second half, the Hawkeyes still had some fight left, closing within 60-49 midway

through the period. Gesell had a 3-point try that would have cut the deficit to eight, but the ball kicked off the rim and the Bulldogs promptly ran off nine straight points to boost the margin to 20, effectively sealing the outcome.

Offensively and defensively, Few said, “that’s how we have played for long stretches of the season. And I’m so happy that these guys were able to put it together on the biggest stage.”

When it was over, the Gonzaga players stood at midcourt and saluted the noisy fans who for a few days had turned KeyArena into a little parcel of Zag Nation.

And then it was time to start thinking about a trip to the Sweet 16, an experience none of the Bulldogs — save for Wiltjer, a transfer from Kentucky — has ever enjoyed.

Gonzaga will travel to the South Region semifinals and final, scheduled for next weekend in Houston.

“There’s no greater feeling than this because I haven’t been able to experience it and most of the guys in the locker room haven’t,” Pangos said. “So for us to be able to get past this (round to the Sweet 16) is definitely a great feeling.”

In addition to eating well in Houston, the Bulldogs will also try to advance to their first Elite 8 since they first became NCAA Tournament darlings in 1999, the start of an incredible run of success that has featured 17 straight trips to the Big Dance (and yet still, so many national broadcasters can’t pronounce Gonzaga correctly. It’s not that hard, folks — Gone-ZAG-uh, Zag rhymes with “bag.” I got that pronunciation guide right out of Gonzaga’s game notes, because the school still feels the need clear this up, which is absurd).

So yes, Gonzaga coach Mark Few was happy to admit after his Gonzaga Bulldogs dismantled Iowa that he was tired of that question. Because in Few’s mind, and his players’, getting to the Sweet 16 wasn’t getting over that hump for the sake of silencing their critics; this was about moving on so players who had never been there, especially seniors like Kevin Pangos, Gary Bell Jr. and Byron Wesley could experience what so many of the great Gonzaga players before them have.

“Personally, yes,” Few quickly answered when asked if he was tired of hearing questions about a five-year Sweet 16 drought. “I mean, I think the program’s been six times, and it’s just interesting to see the corner or whatever that we’re being painted into. I mean, I don’t know who is being held to that standard. But try not to listen to the noise and you just usually block that out. The biggest thing was of all the groups I’ve had or been a part of at GU,

which was the group with Kev and Gary and Kyle Dranginis and Prezemek (Karnowski) and all those guys that haven’t been to a Sweet 16, and all the other groups for the most part were able to get there at some point in their careers, so you just want it for these guys. It gives us another week.”

“I mean, this team loves each other. I mean, they are tight.

They enjoy every second of everything they do together. So you want to — you want that season to last as long as possible.

So, we just gained another week right here, and hopefully we can gain one after that.”

On one hand, Few is right that his team should be enjoying this ride, but on the other hand, when he says “who is being held to that standard?” well, you are, Coach, and it’s because of the beast you’ve created. Five straight trips to the round of 32 is quite a feat for a lot of programs, but for one as accomplished as Gonzaga over the past two decades, it was time to take another step forward.

Even so, Sunday wasn’t about exorcizing any round-of-32 demons as much as it was just playing some really darn impressive basketball for 40 minutes against a very dangerous opponent. Iowa didn’t play poorly as much as they were just overwhelmed by what on this night was an unstoppable Gonzaga offensive attack.

What started out as a very entertaining shootout quickly turned into a blowout; Iowa simply couldn’t keep up. The Zags were so dialed in, it’s entirely possible that nobody, not even

mighty Kentucky, could keep pace if they play like this the rest of the way. When Wiltjer was draining threes early and Iowa forward was countering with a thundering one-handed jam, and when the score was 20-15 with 11:55 still left in the first half, it looked like the game was going to be a barnburner.

But even though the Hawkeyes played solidly throughout, they simply had no answers for Gonzaga, which shot 61.5 percent from the field and 62.5 percent on 3-pointers.

“There’s a lot of things that they do that make it hard for teams to score,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “But we shot 47 percent, which isn’t a horrible number. The problem for us was at the other end of the floor.”

At one point when talking about how far his program has come, Few called it amazing, noting he went “from, literally, being an assistant that slept in cars back in the day or slept on buddies’ floors in the hotels, to in a little tiny gym, to dreaming about being involved in the NCAA Tournament,” to what the program has become today— one that has been to 17 straight tournaments, won 14 of 15 WCC regular season, and now six Sweet 16 berths.

But that growth also comes with what at times can seem like almost unfair expectations, expectations, which after Sunday’s performance, this Gonzaga team looks capable of living up to on their way to Houston, perhaps even Indianapolis, the site of this year’s final four, and yes, to Benihana.

other players also scored in double figures. Against a Hawkeyes defense that led the Big Ten Conference in opponents’ field goal percentage (.390) this season, the Bulldogs shot .615 from the field (32-for-52) and .625 from the 3-point stripe (10-for-16) while totaling 20 assists on 32 field goals.

Said Few: “This is, without a doubt, the best offensive team I’ve ever been associated with ... (with) the firepower, the versatility and the ability to share the ball. This team is so much fun to be associated with when we’re playing like that.

“When we get the ball moving and get open shots,” added point guard Kevin Pangos, “that’s a good shot for our team.”

Because the Bulldogs are well balanced, it is sometimes difficult to single out any one player.

But Wiltjer was simply outstanding against Iowa, converting 10 of his 12 field goal attempts. His two misses were at the 3-point line, where he also converted four shots.

It was Wiltjer who sparked Gonzaga’s early scoring burst,

as we’ve been so we are always cheating to find a way to get an edge,” Izzo said. “Coaches can tell you what to do, but when muscle memory tells you to do it another way ... your focus has to be incredible. And that was incredible focus if you asked me.”

Last year, the Spartans upset the top-seeded Cavaliers in the regional semifinal by holding Virginia to 35.1 percent shooting.

Wichita State shocks Kansas

By Dave Skretta Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — The boys from Wichita State had been hearing it in text messages from friends, and on social media from total strangers: Don’t let the chance to stick it to Kansas slip away.

The Shockers would never dream of it.

Finally getting a chance to play the school that continually spurns them, Fred VanVleet and the rest of the Missouri Valley champs rolled to a 78-65 victory over the second-seeded Jayhawks on Sunday, earning a trip to the Sweet 16 in the sweetest way possible.

“There’s so much to be said

about this rivalry with Kansas,” VanVleet said, “but really, it’s all about the fans. What better story is there for Wichita State?”

The Shockers have tried for years to schedule a game against Kansas, but the dominant school in the Sunflower State has always refused, arguing it would have nothing to gain from it.

After the beating they got Sunday, it’s no wonder the Jayhawks never want anything to do with Wichita State.

Tekele Cotton scored 19 points for the seventh-seeded Shockers (30-4), and VanVleet finished with 17. Evan Wessel hit four 3-pointers and scored 12, helping his team advance to Cleveland for a Midwest Regional semifinal against

third-seeded Notre Dame.

“We don’t have McDonald’s AllAmericans, we don’t have guys that have been in the spotlight, and been given that pedestal,” VanVleet said. “We work for everything we’ve got, from managers to coaches to our preacher to, you know, whoever. We’ve scrapped and fought our whole lives.”

They didn’t stop on Sunday. If anything, they scrapped harder.

“We’d been playing anybody else, it would have meant the same, advancing to the Sweet 16,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

“It just so happens we played an in-state team to go where we wanted to go, and they were much better than us.”

Devonte’ Graham and Perry Ellis had 17 points each, and

As the final seconds ticked away, VanVleet started riling up an already boisterous section of Shockers fans. And when the game ended, coach Gregg Marshall strode across the floor with a wry smile on his face, reaching out to shake hands with several of them.

The buzz for the first meeting since 1993 between the schools separated by just 162 miles began to build on Selection Sunday when it first became a possibility. But by the time the Jayhawks beat New Mexico State and the Shockers had survived Indiana, it had grown to a deafening roar.

Badgers bounce Ducks

By Eric Olson Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Wisconsin wasn’t at its best against Oregon. Fortunately for the Badgers, they didn’t have to be to earn a return trip to the Sweet 16.

The Badgers beat the Ducks for the second straight year in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32, this time 72-65 at CenturyLink Center on Sunday night.

Wisconsin had its worst shooting game in a month and got outrebounded by the smaller Ducks, and Big Ten player of the year Frank Kaminsky was quiet offensively for long stretches.

Still, the Badgers (33-3) were able to get out to a quick lead and hold on, and now they’re headed to the regional

semifinals for the fourth time in five years. The West’s No. 1 seed will play No. 4 North Carolina on Thursday in Los Angeles.

“We’re definitely excited and thrilled to be there, but we’re not as in awe or shocked as we were last year,” Nigel Hayes said. “Last year, we were jumping around up and down on the court, celebrating. This time, it was ‘Hoo-rah, good job guys.

We have the next game to take care of.”’

Sam Dekker scored 17 points, hitting a couple big baskets after Oregon (26-10) had tied it late. Kaminsky had 16 points, with no shot bigger than his putback of Hayes’ missed free throw to make it a 10-point game with 44 seconds left.

Hayes had 14 points and Bronson Koenig added 12.

Pac-12 player of the year

W. Virginia beats Maryland Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Devin Williams had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and West Virginia scored 16 second-chance points to beat fourth-seeded Maryland 69-59 in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night.

Next up: A showdown with top-ranked Kentucky in the Sweet 16. The fifth-seeded Mountaineers (25-9) will take on the undefeated Wildcats on Thursday night in the Midwest Regional semifinals in Cleveland.

Gary Browne scored 14 points and Daxter Miles Jr. had 12 as West Virginia advanced to the second weekend of the tournament for the first time since 2010.

Joseph Young, who scored 27 points in a win over Oklahoma State on Friday, had 30 against the Badgers.

“We had ourselves in a position against an experienced, well-coached and very good team,” Ducks coach Dana Altman said. “I’m sorry we couldn’t get it finished off for these guys so we could keep playing.”

Wisconsin played with the lead all game until Dwayne Benjamin tied it at 52 with a high-arcing 3-pointer from in front of his bench with 5:27 left.

The Badgers took the lead right back, though, with Dekker’s reverse layup and 3-pointer to make it 58-52.

“Oregon made their run to fight back,” Dekker said, “just as a good team always does. And good teams respond to those runs.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jahlil Okafor showed off all the moves — a spin, a dribble drive, a short jumper — that have made Duke’s freshman big man possibly the nation’s top player.

When he’s playing like that, the Blue Devils have a shot to finish as the nation’s best team right alongside him.

Okafor scored 18 of his 26 points in a dominating first half and top-seeded Duke beat San Diego State 68-49 on Sunday in the NCAA Tournament, sending the freshmen-led Blue Devils back to the Sweet 16 to continue their push for coach Mike Krzyzewski’s fifth national title.

“It would mean the world to me,” Okafor said. “I’ve always wanted to win a national title. ...

That’s what (the freshmen) came to Duke to have an opportunity to win a national title. That is where all of my focus has been this season and that is what it is still is.”

Duke — holding a No. 1 seed for the 11th time in 18 seasons but its first since 2011 — advanced to face fifth-seeded Utah in Houston’s South Regional semifinals.

The Blue Devils (31-4) reached the Sweet 16 for the 22nd time under Coach K, who said this group featuring four freshmen among its eight scholarship players is still improving.

“They’re together,” Krzyzewski said. “We have talent, we’re getting older by experience, and so we just — we got better here these two games.”

Fellow freshman Justise Winslow added 13 points and 12 rebounds for Duke, which shot 55 percent against the eighthseeded Aztecs (27-9) two days after shooting 63 percent against 16th-seeded Robert Morris.

Okafor scored 21 on 9-for-11 shooting against the seriously undersized Colonials, then made 12 of 16 shots against the Aztecs.

“Okafor is a load,” Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said. “He is hard to guard. ... But he’s not the lone ranger. Winslow can play. They have a terrific team and they can play. They played like a No. 1 team today.”

The Aztecs were trying to reach the Sweet 16 for the third time under Fisher, but San Diego State — with a few players and coaches battling a stomach ailment — got off to a bad start and struggled to slow Duke early.

Keselowski passes Busch on last lap to win Sprint Cup race

By Jim Peltz Los Angeles Times

FONTANA, Calif. — It’s becoming a rule of thumb that it’s best not to leave a NASCAR race early at Auto Club Speedway. Not even with just two laps left.

For the third time in as many years, the Sprint Cup Series race in Fontana was settled either on the last lap or in an overtime finish.

This time it was Brad Keselowski who swept past Kurt Busch on the last lap of a second twolap overtime finish Sunday to win the Auto Club 400.

It was the only lap Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford led all day but the one that gave the 2012 Cup champion his first win of the season and his first victory at the two-mile Fontana oval.

Kyle Busch won the previous two races at Fontana in late fashion as well, first with a last-lap pass in 2013 and then in overtime last year. Busch currently is sidelined after breaking his leg in a racing crash last month.

Kevin Harvick, the reigning Cup champion who was seeking a Western sweep after winning the previous two races at Las Vegas and Phoenix, finished second Sunday in his No. 4 Chevrolet.

His teammate Kurt Busch, Kyle’s older brother who started from the pole after recently coming off a NASCAR-imposed suspension, finished third in his No. 41 Chevy after appearing to have won the race twice.

Acknowledging that “the (Nos.) 4 and the 41 had been the entire class of the weekend,” Keselowski said he “kind of stole one today.”

“You can’t give up and you’ve got to keep working on your car and your day,” he said.

Keselowski also noted his team owner, Roger Penske, built Auto Club Speedway in the mid-1990s and “I just won at one of Roger’s tracks. That’s really cool.”

Busch was leading with two laps left in the regulation 200 laps when the yellow caution flag came out for debris on the track.

That set up the first overtime, or “green-white-checkered” finish, and Busch again took the lead.

But the caution flag flew again because the rear bumper panel on Kyle Larson’s No. 42 Chevrolet flew onto the track after contact with another car.

That set up the second overtime finish. Busch, who had taken two fresh tires on his final

pit stop, again took the lead. But as they entered the second and final lap, Keselowski — who had taken four tires on his stop — moved past Busch.

Behind them, Greg Biffle spun out. But NASCAR opted not to throw another yellow flag and let Keselowski and Busch race to the finish line.

“That last restart I just didn’t get the job done,” Busch said. “We didn’t need that extra yellow at the end and I just got out-muscled by Keselowski. We had two (new) tires; Keselowski had four.”

Keselowski’s win means he’s assured a berth in NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup playoff in the fall as he seeks a second title.

And that means both of Penske’s cars are in the Chase.

Keselowski’s teammate, Joey Logano, won the season-opening

Daytona 500. Logano finished seventh Sunday.

“Having both cars in the Chase is exceptional,” Penske said. “The drive that Brad did was amazing.”

Keselowski, 31, said at the end of the race, “We caught some breaks and made the most of the breaks we caught. We were just able to find our way through the lanes and get to the front.

“This is one we’re going to sit back and go, ‘Wow,’ for a while,” he said.

Harvick, meanwhile, extended his remarkable run going back to last fall when he won his title.

It was the eighth consecutive race Harvick has finished first or second in a Cup race. That’s the longest such streak since seventime champion Richard Petty achieved the feat in 11 consecutive races in 1975.

Paxton gives M’s a scare

By Bob Dutton

reassuring smile. “It hit off the finger (of the glove). I probably should have had it. ... I was in protect-myself mode.”

Manager Lloyd McClendon still decided to end Paxton’s day at that point. Paxton had thrown 61 pitches after being scheduled for 60.

“I knew it hit his glove,” McClendon said. “I knew right away it hit his glove. But we had him at 10 to 12 pitches (for that inning). He was at 61 (total); it made no sense for him to start the next hitter.”

Overall, Paxton and McClendon each saw mostly positives.

Paxton bounced a few pitches in yielding five hits (all singles) and one walk but prevented the Rangers from scoring in his 31⁄3 innings.

“That was good to get into some situations there (with men on base),” he said. “I made some pitches when I had to, to get out of it.

“Ideally, I’d like to throw less pitches in 31⁄3 innings, but I’ll tighten things up in the bullpen the next few times and get things ready for the season.”

Plans call for Paxton to get two more spring starts.

“His secondary stuff was

The New Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz.— There was an “oh-no” moment Sunday afternoon when a sharp grounder by ex-Mariner Carlos Peguero appeared to strike left-hander James Paxton in the arm or back before caroming into center field.

Again?

Paxton has already been slowed this spring by a freak forearm injury, which marked the latest interruption in his promising career. He missed four months last season because of a strained back muscle.

This game against Texas — an 8-0 victory at Peoria Stadium — was Paxton’s Cactus League debut after a three-inning turn-up last Tuesday against a collection of minor-leaguers.

If all goes well, he should be built up sufficiently to take his regular spot when the season begins. If all goes well ...

And then Peguero hits a scorcher back through the box with one out in the fourth inning.

“It went off my glove,” Paxton said afterward while offering a

not as sharp as it needs to be,” McClendon said, “but that’s to be expected. He’ll go to five (innings) next time out, and he’ll build off of that one.”

While the McClendon is confirming little in regard to lining up his rotation beyond identifying Felix Hernandez for the season opener, Paxton is now positioned for the No. 2 spot.

McClendon acknowledges a preference for a right-left arrangement through the fiveman unit, which points to Paxton as the likely fit between Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma.

Note that Hernandez started Saturday against the Cubs in Mesa; Iwakuma is slotted to pitch Monday in a minor-league game to avoid facing the Los Angeles Angels in Tempe.

The Mariners open the season with a three-game series against the Angels from April 6-8 at Safeco Field. (You don’t have to be Kreskin to connect the dots— especially Paxton opened last season by twice beating the Angels.)

McClendon does say this much: “We saw how dominant he could be last year. We need him healthy. It’s vital for our success.”

Borland to return three-fourths of signing bonus to 49ers

By Randy Sumimoto San Jose Mercury News

Chris Borland, the former San Francisco 49ers linebacker who shockingly retired after one year in the NFL, said Sunday that he will return three-fourths of his signing bonus to the team.

Borland received a $617,436 signing bonus when he agreed to a four-year deal with the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round out of Wisconsin a year ago. He will return $463,077 of that bonus, which will help the 49ers with their salary-cap space.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, the 49ers had just under $14.82 million in salary-cap space.

It was believed the 49ers were

entitled to Borland’s signing bonus because he didn’t play out his entire contract, but that might have entailed a messy legal process. Including the signing bonus, he had received $1,037,436 from the 49ers.

“To play one year, it’s not a cash grab as I’ve been accused of,” Borland, 24, said in an appearance on “Face the Nation,” the CBS News show.

“I’m paying back three-fourths of my signing bonus. I’m only taking the money I’ve earned.

“This to me is just about health and nothing else. I’ve never played the game for money or attention. I love football. I’ve had a blast, and I don’t regret the last 10 years of my life at all. I’d do it

over the exact same way. From here on I’m looking forward.”

A 49ers spokesman said the team had no comment at this time on the latest developments regarding their onetime budding star.

Borland surprised the football world in a different way after joining the 49ers despite being considered undersized at 5-foot-11, 248 pounds. But he earned a starting role after Patrick Willis was injured midway through the season.

Borland immediately showed a knack for being around the ball, totaling 15 tackles in his first start on Oct. 19 in a loss at Denver. He proved that was no fluke, finishing the season with a team-high 108 tackles.

one on the power play at 16:34 as Yamamoto’s shot beat Lotz to make it 2-1. The Chiefs began to control play in the second period, and Spokane tied it at 11:51. Helewka took advantage if a broken play, putting a backhander past Lotz to knot it at 2-2.

Everett then surged back ahead, scoring three times in the third period to build a 5-2 lead. Juulsen broke the tie at 3:35 when he slipped a shot from a tight angle past Verhelst. Mykitiuk made it 4-2 at 11:19 when, on the power play, he got behind the defense and batted a puck out of the air and past Verhelst. Low completed the barrage at 15:13, banging in a rebound following Jantzen Leslie’s shot from the point.

Spokane got late goals from

Whittingham and Helewka to get back within one, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Tips from ending the season with a victory.

Tips From Page C1

also scored for the Chiefs, while Tyson Verhelst made 15 saves in net.

The first-round, best-of-seven playoff series begins Friday in Everett.

Everett opened the scoring just 2 minutes, 2 seconds into the game when Wegleitner tipped in Kevin Davis’ shot from the point. It was the 16-year-old rookie’s first career WHL goal.

The Tips then scored a similar goal to make it 2-0 at 5:49 as Bajkov tipped in Cole MacDonald’s point shot.

Mariners 8, Rangers 0 TEXAS

The facts

Kyle Seager and Nelson Cruz slugged three-runs homers Sunday in helping the Mariners move back over .500 at 9-8-2 with an easy victory over the Texas Rangers.

Lefty James Paxton made his Cactus League debut by pitching 31⁄3 scoreless innings. He yielded five singles and a walk but got away clean in a 61-pitch effort.

David Rollins, Danny Farquhar, Carson Smith and Dominic Leone completed the 10-hit shutout.

Play(s) of the game

Second baseman Robinson Cano deftly turned Kyle Blanks’ sharp grounder up the middle into an inningending double play with runners at first and third in the first.

Cano matched or topped that in the fifth by ranging to his left to corral a grounder by Leonys Martin, spinning and turning it into a force at second.

Plus

Cruz absolutely crushed a 92-mph fastball from Rangers starter Yovani Gallardo for a three-run homer in the third inning. The ball struck high off the batters’ eye beyond the center-field wall. Cruz also had a single and a walk in three plate appearances. ... Backup catcher Jesus Sucre threw out another base-stealer — Martin in the second inning. Shortstop Brad Miller contributed a nice pick-and-tag on a short hop.

Minus

Not much, really. Sucre suffered a bruised left hip after getting hit by a foul ball. He left the game as a precaution after running out his single in the sixth inning. Manager Lloyd McClendon said, “He should be fine.”

Job battles

Rollins, the Rule 5 pick from Houston, turned in another strong outing with 12⁄3 scoreless innings after replacing Paxton in fourth. Rollins has given up one run and five hits in eight innings over seven appearances. ...

Smith pitched around two two-out singles in the eighth. Leone yielded a two-out triple in the ninth but stranded the runner by striking out the next hitter.

Quotable

When one veteran writer noted that “Nelson Cruz is a strong man,” McClendon responded: “I would say you’d make a (heck) of a scout.” (Can’t argue either point.)

Extra innings

Seager returned in style to the lineup after being a late scratch Saturday because of soreness on his right side. He hit a three-run homer to the opposite field in his first at-bat.

“Like I’ve said this past winter,” McClendon said, “I think this guy eventually is going to win an MVP. He works hard, he’s getting better at his craft and he’s learning every day.”

Up next

Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez will start at 1:05 p.m. Monday when the Mariners play the Los Angeles Angels in Tempe. The Angels plan to start right-hander Matt Shoemaker.

Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma will remain in Peoria to pitch against minor-leaguers in a simulated game.

Iwakuma is scheduled to face the Angels in the season-opening series next month at Safeco Field.

Djokovic beats Federer to win Paribas Open Associated Press INDIAN WELLS, Calif.

— Move over Roger Federer, there is another guy with a share of your crown as king of the desert.

Novak Djokovic defeated Federer 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2 to win his fourth BNP Paribas Open on Sunday, tying him with Federer for the most titles in the desert after winning for the second straight year.

"I am at the prime of my career," Djokovic said. "I'm going to try to use every part of this fact to stay where I am and to fight for as many major titles as possible."

Djokovic, ranked No. 1 in the world, and No. 2 Federer met for the 38th time, second-most among rivalries in the Open era.

Federer leads the series 20-18

and had won three of their last four meetings going into the final.

But Federer made too many mistakes at crucial times, piling up 43 unforced errors to 35 for Djokovic. The Serb connected on 63 percent of his first serves, while Federer's serve let him down. He double-faulted to trail 4-2 in the third as Djokovic won the last four games of the match.

"I felt huge relief, to be honest," Djokovic said. "I saw I'm not the only one that is double-faulting under pressure. I got myself in a position to break and then he handed me that break. I thought I deserved it in a way because I really fought hard for it."

Simona Halep beat Jelena Jankovic 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the women’s final.

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

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

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

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

Specifically, the work will include rehabilitating approximately 1,100 linear feet (LF) of the existing South Terminal track and extending the track approximately 100 LF to the northwest; installing approximately 1,000 LF of new track and removing approximately 400 LF of existing track at the Hewitt Terminal track; relocating the existing gate at the Hewitt Terminal entrance; and installing approximately 3,300 LF of new siding tracks between the South Terminal and Pacific Terminal.
