Audit Lanterns of love sent skyward details airport issues OSO MUDSLIDE

State auditors find accountability concerns regarding the city of Arlington’s management of money and contracts. By Kari Bray Herald Writer

Love letters to heaven. The lanterns are held high above heads, illuminating those left behind, until they are strong enough to fly away. The surrounding darkness obscures the scarred mountain. Each lantern is let go. They rise one by one, forming a trail of 43

ARLINGTON — A longdelayed state audit released Monday found that the city has not properly managed money and contracts at its municipal airport. The report marks the conclusion of an accountability audit for city management during the 2013 calendar year. A September audit of Arlington’s 2013 finances found no problems with the numbers. An accountability audit is a separate investigation that looks at whether city operations follow federal, state and local laws. The issues listed in the audit all tie to Arlington’s airport. The city has run the airport since 1959. The airport’s 2013 operating budget totaled $3.27 million. Roughly 88 percent of that came from leasing space to more than 200 businesses and organizations. Oversight of those leases — or lack of it — is the source of most

Andy Huestis releases into the sky a lantern that reads, “Adam — 3/22/14 — many happy days fishing,” in honor of Oso slide victim Adam Farnes on Sunday night. The families of those lost in the slide gathered to release 43 lanterns, one for each person who died one year ago. Huestis lost his sister, Christina Jefferds, in the slide. Go to www.HeraldNet.com for more photos of Sunday’s remembrance ceremony.

Story and photo by Genna Martin • The Herald OSO — Highway 530 is dark and quiet hours after hundreds gathered for a remembrance ceremony, marking one year since the slide. Rain fluctuates between showers and sprinkles. Suddenly, an Oso fire truck appears, lights flashing, leading a caravan of about two dozen cars carrying the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons

and daughters of those lost. The rain stops. The families emerge from their cars, gathering to release floating paper lanterns, one for each of the 43 people now missing from their lives. A voice rises from the crowd, “Who is here for Denver Harris? What about Linda?” as lanterns are passed out to their families.

They help each other open and light them, one at a time. As the heat causes the fragile, white tissue paper to expand, names and messages written to each family member spring to life. “John, we will never forget” “Kaylee Spillers, love you!” “Adam, many happy days fishing!”

WSU awaits word on money for expansion in Everett OLYMPIA — Washington State University’s ability to continue expanding in Everett could become clearer this week. Majority Democrats in the state House are expected to release budget proposals that university leaders hope contain money for more classes and a

future home for the University Center of North Puget Sound. Lawmakers from Snohomish and Island counties will be poring through the documents as well. They have been pushing for inclusion of the funding. As of late last week, they had not been told what’s in the budgets or when they’ll be issued. “All you can do as a legislator is keeping reinforcing (to budget

Kennewick students’ app to help peers gets attention By Danielle Ohl McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — High school students Stephanie Lopez, Chloe Westphal and Amanda Arellano knew they wanted to help teens curb the pressures and anxiety that lead to suicide and depression. They didn’t know their innovative new app, Safe & Sound, would take them all the way to the White House. Lopez, Westphal and Arellano presented their invention Monday at the fifth annual White House Science Fair. Safe & Sound and the Kennewick teens garnered national attention after the Verizon Innovative App Challenge awarded it Best in Nation. They entered the contest with a few other classmates in their “health infomatics” class, a course that focuses on information technology as an untapped health care resource. “When the teacher brought this to our attention, it sounded like something cool to do, but

dollars including building school classrooms following passage of the initiative requiring smaller sized classes. WSU also is asking for $4.5 million in the operating budget. Those dollars would allow the launch of upper division classes in software engineering, sustainable food systems and data analytics in January. And WSU is requesting money to enable Central Washington University to offer upper-division classes in aviation management

we didn’t expect anything to happen,” Westphal said. The three students, in addition to classmate Marina Stepanov, who was unable to attend Monday’s event, spent the past five months developing Safe & Sound, an app they think could help their peers deal with the prevalent stress, anxiety and ultimate depression young people experience daily. “Since we’re teenagers, we have a unique perspective and an understanding of how it is because we’re right here in this moment right now,” Westphal said. The students, who all attend Tri-Tech Skills Center, a vocational high school campus in Kennewick, were only one group of many invited to the White House to show off their winning ideas and inventions. President Barack Obama attended the fair, wandering among the projects and complimenting students on their work. In prepared remarks, he said the Science Fair served

and aviation maintenance management beginning in the fall of 2015. Central now offers these classes at its main campus in Ellensburg. Earlier this month, a letter supporting money for the classes was sent to budget writers in both parties by area lawmakers. Most of the 21-member delegation representing Snohomish and Island counties signed it, said Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, who circulated the missive. “I am a big supporter of the University Center. I am doing what I can do for them to grow their curriculum,” he said, noting the new classes “are a natural extension of what they’ve started.”

to celebrate students “as much as we celebrate the winners of football or basketball or other athletic competitions.” Obama announced $240 million in new donations from businesses, universities and foundations to assist science, technology and math education through the White House’s “Educate to Innovate” campaign. “No young person in America should miss out on the chance to excel in these fields just because they don’t have the

resources,” Obama said. “So it’s not enough for us to just lift up young people and say, ‘Great job, way to go.’ You also have to have labs to go to, and you’ve got to be able to support yourself while you’re doing this amazing research.” Safe & Sound launches June 1 in the Google Play app store and will be free, in order to help “as many people as possible,” Westphal said. The Kennewick students received their invitation to the science fair two weeks ago, and attended with their teacher, Kristel Kinder. Their journey continues this summer in Dallas, where they’re scheduled to present Safe & Sound at a national conference of the Technology Student Association. “When we found out, we couldn’t tell anyone, so teachers would be asking, ‘How’s it going with the app challenge?’ and we’d just have to say, ‘Good,’” Westphal said. The Safe & Sound science fair exhibit featured

statistics on school shootings, suicide-related emergency calls and suicide prevalence among teens. The students’ app prototype, which they developed with the help of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student, features four graphics that represent different resources: a list of hotlines for crisis relief, information on how to handle overwhelming feelings, calming exercises and inspirational quotes to promote resilient attitude, and a journal. “We thought we could bring something different to the table as far as resources go,” Westphal said. Also in attendance at Monday’s science fair were various administrative officials and celebrities, including the president’s science adviser, John Holdren; NFL wide receiver Victor Cruz of the New York Giants, and the science guy himself, Bill Nye. “Bill Nye interviewed us,” Arellano said. “My life is now complete.”

WSU fared well in budgets put forth by Gov. Jay Inslee in December. He included $54.6 million for the new building and funding for some of the new classes. Still to come is a budget from the Republican-controlled state Senate. Once the House and Senate pass their respective budgets, representatives of the two chambers and the governor will work to reconcile differences. Entering the session, there was a question whether WSU’s push for a medical school and money to cover costs of initial planning might make lawmakers less willing to support the university’s plans in Everett.

“It shouldn’t because both sets of needs are separate and, in our minds, equally important,” said Bob Drewel, WSUappointed chancellor of the University Center. Thus far in the session lawmakers outside Snohomish and Island counties don’t seem to be making it an issue. “I think everyone is keeping them separate,” said Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, who is chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. “Everyone is looking for ways to fund the expansion in Everett.” Sells, a member of the House Higher Education Committee, is finding it is the same in the House.

“Nobody has raised any problems with what we are trying to do because it’s a follow through of what we have already been doing,” he said. Meanwhile, Dunshee is actually concerned that WSU might lose its focus on Everett because of its pursuit of a medical school. He voted against the bill authorizing a medical school for that reason as well as a concern about where the money to build a medical school will come from in the future. “I worry that WSU will now turn their attention away a little from Everett as they try to finance their medical school,” he said. “Now they’ve got other shiny toys.”

No ATVs on Granite Falls streets for now The City Council voted to OK them only if they’re allowed on county roads. By Kari Bray Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — Local leaders have decided to allow wheeled all-terrain vehicles on city streets — but only if Snohomish County ever allows

them on county roads. The Granite Falls City Council voted 3-1 in favor of letting people ride off-road rigs such as quads and side-by-sides on cityowned roadways in the future. Councilman Tom FitzGerald voted no and councilman Tom Collins was not at the meeting. The new rule would take effect “one day after the County passes an ordinance allowing WATV use on County roads surrounding the city,” according to the

council’s decision. At this point, that’s not something the county is planning to do, engineer Owen Carter said. The public works department looked at reports from areas where all-terrain vehicles are allowed on streets and at details from vehicle manufacturers. They have concerns about the safety of riders and other drivers, he said. “All-terrain vehicles aren’t designed to be on paved roads,”

Carter said. “We have looked into it and we have decided that we’re not going to pursue it.” Any policy changes would have to go through the County Council, he said. Cities have control over their own roads. Granite Falls planning commissioner Chris Marsh brought the issue up in his town. He’s been trying to get all-terrain vehicles permitted on local streets for nearly a year. Marsh compared riding a

wheeled off-road vehicle to traveling by motorcycle. He often rides with friends from Granite Falls to Sultan. They stop for food, gas and supplies. “We see an economic value to it,” he said. “There’s millions of dollars people invest into equipment they never get to ride around here. Ideally, we want to get our recreation back in Snohomish County.” See ATV, Page A4

Lynnwood finalizes Seabrook land purchase By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

MEADOWDALE — The city of Lynnwood has completed its purchase of 13 acres on the steep, wooded hillside north of Meadowdale Beach Park. The $6 million transaction for the land known as Seabrook Heights became final at 3:45 p.m. Friday. Neighbors, conservationists and others had since 2005 been fighting a planned housing project on the site. West View Properties of Everett wanted to build 70 homes. Opponents feared that water runoff and landslides would have imperiled nearby homes and the popular county park downslope. “I’m very grateful to Lynnwood and Conservation Futures and everyone else who helped,” said Carlin McKinley, a neighbor who lives next to the property. “No matter how much me and the other neighbors wanted this, it never would have happened if Lynnwood wouldn’t have stepped up with the extra money.”

The city of Lynnwood purchased this property on Fisher Road which borders Meadowdale Beach Park.

The deal came together thanks to Snohomish County awarding Lynnwood a $5 million conservation futures grant in 2013 to buy the property. It appeared to be in jeopardy last year, when West View passed up a $5.25 million offer for the land. The earlier offer was already more than double the property’s

assessed value for 2014, but Lynnwood boosted its share to $1 million to bring the total sales price to $6 million. McKinley and others who championed the purchase said credit belongs to several individuals and groups of people who helped make it happen: Snohomish County’s Conservation Futures board,

fish conservationists, Lynnwood city leaders, County Councilwoman Stephanie Wright, the Tulalip Tribes and Seattle nonprofit Forterra. The Seabrook property lies outside of Lynnwood city limits, but is in an area the city might some day annex. With the new addition, the city now owns 90 acres of conservation land immediately north and south of the county’s Meadowdale Beach Park, said Jared Bond, the city’s environmental and surface water supervisor. The park centers around a popular hiking trail down to the Puget Sound and Lund’s Gulch Creek. Beach access is shut down for now because of the closure of a pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks. The city has no intention to develop its newly purchased land, Bond said. Two longvacant houses on the property may need to be demolished. There’s evidence of squatters frequenting the area. “Our immediate plans are to See SEABROOK, Page A4

OLYMPIA — Lawmakers seem certain to pass a bill to ensure that statewide fire-fighting resources can be mobilized for disasters such as the Oso mudslide. On Monday, the state Senate Government Operations and Security Committee conducted a hearing on a House bill that would modify state law regarding wildfire mobilization, making clear that it also applies to nonfire incidents such as landslides, earthquakes and floods. Afterward, Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, the chairwoman of the committee, said she intends to pass the bill out of committee for eventual passage. “We like the bill. We’ll send it out,” she said. Dave LaFave, chief of Cowlitz Fire and Rescue, who helped write the original mobilization law in 1995, said it was intended to cover all kinds of large-scale incidents, but in recent years its use has been limited to fires. The purpose of the revision, House Bill 1389, is to restore the original intent of the law, he told committee members. Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, the bill’s sponsor, has been trying to get the law changed for several years. He reminded the committee that Sunday marked a year since the Oso mudslide in which 43 people lost their lives. Fire officials requested a statewide mobilization in response to the disaster and were turned down because it was a non-fire emergency, he said. “This bill didn’t pass last year. It should have,” he said. “Oso went beyond mutual aid.” If passed, the bill will go to the Senate Ways and Means Committee for consideration. Amending the mobilization law is one of the top recommendations from a commission appointed by Gov. Jay Inslee and County Executive John Lovick to study the disaster.

Granite Falls is the second city in the county to approve off-road rigs on the road. The Sultan City Council in 2013 passed a similar ordinance, though they didn’t wait on the county. The decision came shortly after the Legislature changed state law. Proponents envision a network of scenic byways to let people drive allterrain vehicles between towns like Sultan and Granite Falls. They want access to forest service roads, as well. “We’re trying to create a pattern and an example

that other counties and other forests can utilize,” said Ted Jackson, who fought to get the state legislation passed. “You have that option of creating a travel and tourism economy. If you look at Granite Falls, there’s the opportunity to connect to forest roads and scenic routes.” Opponents say the street is no place for vehicles designed to plunge through mud puddles and bump over rugged terrain. They cite safety, noise and enforcement as key concerns. Under state law, local leaders can opt to allow allterrain vehicles on public roads with a 35 mph speed limit or less. The rigs must be registered and licensed specifically for on-road use, and operators must

have a driver’s license. To be street-legal, a quad, three-wheeler or side-by-side needs a headlight, tail light, turn signal, mirror, horn, muffler and brakes. Liability insurance, required for driving a car on public roads, is not needed. Former Gold Bar City Councilman Chuck Lie worries about legal problems cities, counties and individual drivers could face in an accident involving an off-road vehicle. The Gold Bar City Council in 2013 considered allowing all-terrain vehicles on local streets, but ultimately voted it down. “I’ve never seen city hall so packed,” Lie said. “I think these guys have chosen a hobby that’s controversial, and now they

expect everyone to be OK with it.” The state needs a cultural change to adjust to the notion of off-road vehicles on public streets, Jackson said. He thinks a shift in mind-set is possible, and he expects a boost to local businesses and tourism. Lie disagrees. “It’s a weird thing that they’re promising economic development, but we’re making these compromises with traffic safety,” he said. Proponents continue to work with state and county leaders to open more roads for all-terrain vehicles, Marsh said. They plan to ask the county council to adopt an ordinance, which would allow Granite Falls’ new rule to take effect.

metals in those remnants can be poisonous if consumed by humans or other animals. The cleanup is meant to protect hikers who picnic in the area and fish that swim in the South Fork Sauk River, Gibbens said. There are seven sites that need to be excavated, he said. Five are near the town, including the old processing facility.

Anywhere the ore was extensively handled is on the list. Two sites are outside of town: the nearby Rainy Mine and the Pride of the Woods Mine farther up Glacier Creek. Helicopter crews are needed for the work at Pride of the Woods, Gibbens said. Most of the metal waste is going to the repository, but some has to be hauled out separately because the amount of toxic metals reaches state-mandated “dangerous waste” levels. The project is being paid for by money from a

bankruptcy settlement for Asarco — originally the American Smelting and Refining Company. About $5.5 million of the settlement is going toward the Forest Service’s clean-up efforts around the mines. After the project is done, the Forest Service and state Department of Ecology plan to continue monitoring the Monte Cristo area. The new road will be maintained for that, and hiking or bicycling should be allowed, Gibbens said. However, he doubts the road would open for driving

to the scenic ghost town. The picnic area where most people stop to eat and explore is not part of the area that will be excavated and cleaned, Gibbens said. “We’re going to do our best to leave the historical artifacts intact and work around them during the clean-up,” he said. The Forest Service plans to release more details about this year’s work in the next couple weeks, and additional information about the project is available online at www.1.usa. gov/1Gw3bmA.

The project’s opponents doubted the county’s requirements were adequate to keep water from gushing downhill, to an area already susceptible to landslides.

Washington state auditor Troy Kelley returned to work Monday following a week during which his home was raided by federal agents and his office turned over records that were subpoenaed by the Justice Department. The Democrat issued a written statement to reporters saying that all of his actions over the years have been “lawful and appropriate.” In the statement, Kelley said he was aware that the U.S. Attorney has questions about financial activities at a business he owned before he was elected, and said he has fully cooperated but remains “puzzled by their interest.”

of the auditor’s concerns. Among the state’s findings, the city: does not have written contracts for all airport leases; provided space to the nonprofit Arlington Fly-In without a formal agreement; is not timely in billing tenants; has contracts that conflict with city code; uses airport office space for a different city department; and does not have a good process for reviewing the airport’s share of public safety costs. State law requires governments to separate public funds so that money from one area is not consumed by a different department or project. That means the airport’s budget cannot be used for things that don’t directly benefit the airport. City officials do not believe any money that should have gone to the airport was lost due to issues with leasing or oversight, according to a reply to the state’s findings. The auditor was unable to confirm that claim. “Without adequate internal processes and controls, you can’t be sure you’re getting all of the money,” said Thomas Shapley, a spokesman with the auditor’s office. “If you don’t record stuff, how do you know?” In one instance, officials didn’t revise a contract when a tenant began leasing more space, and payments were recorded in the wrong account. In another case, the city failed to update a lease for the Fly-In that expired in 2006, though the Fly-In continued to pay for and use the space. The auditor also found that a 2001 agreement between the city and FlyIn conflicted with a 2007 change to city code pertaining to special events. The agreement has since been updated. Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert is the executive director of the Fly-In, the nonprofit that puts on the city’s largest annual event. The auditor concluded that there is no conflict of interest with her work as mayor and Fly-In director. She recuses herself from airport decisions and leaves day-to-day operations to the airport commission. “We take this job very seriously,” assistant city administrator Kristin Banfield said. “It’s a very high priority to make

sure there is no conflict of interest.” The auditor recommended that the city approve contracts before leasing space; monitor compliance with leases, city code and state law; write and regularly review an agreement with the Fly-In; better track how money from the airport is used; and make sure the airport is reimbursed for space used by other city departments. The Community and Economic Development Department moved to the airport in 2013, but the city does not pay the airport for the space. “With all of the cross-training and crossstaffing there, we felt we were covering enough for our share of the space,” Banfield said. “The auditor felt differently.” The city blamed several of the auditor’s concerns on past budget shortfalls and understaffed departments. The auditor reasoned that the city has put more effort into meeting federal aviation requirements than state law. The airport is subject to “a labyrinth of regulation” at the federal, state, county and local level, according to the city. It’s hard to know which policies to rely on if they conflict. Officials plan to review the auditor’s suggestions and act on as many as possible, Banfield said. Three of the recommended fixes already are underway. Airport staff began reviewing and updating leases in fall 2013. The Fly-In agreement also has been updated, and a public safety survey the city skipped in 2012 is done. The city relies on the survey to determine how many police hours are spent patrolling the airport so money from the airport’s budget can be used to cover those costs. The 2012 survey was not done until 2013. “We missed a year,” Banfield said. “We had low staffing and were shoe-stringing things together, and we missed it.” It’s the only survey they’ve skipped since 1999, she said. In future audits, the state plans to review the city’s progress toward fixing problems at the airport. “We’re definitely going to take a look at each and every recommendation,” Banfield said. “That’s exactly what the auditor is there for is to identify what we can do better.” Kari Bray: 425-3393439; kbray@heraldnet. com.

Out-of-school suspensions will remain for more serious rules violations, such as fighting or having drugs, officials said.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Kent Charles Langabeer Kent Charles Langabeer, 75, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2015, due to causes related to Parkinson’s Disease. He was born in Seattle, Wash. on April 8, 1939 to Kent E. and Margaret Langabeer. He graduated from Edmonds High School in 1957.

KENNEWICK — Students in Kennewick could soon find themselves serving suspensions at school instead of being sent home. The Kennewick School Board plans to spend about $210,000 to create inschool suspension rooms at each of its middle and high schools over the next two years. Sending students home for a day or more can get parents’ attention and also keeps them from disrupting other students. But it also can put a student at risk of falling behind academically and can give

misbehaving students exactly what they want — a day out of school, the Tri-City Herald reported Monday. A study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health found that marijuana use was higher in schools in Australia and Washington state where suspended students are sent home. “It seems like we’re doing it more for the school than the student,” Kennewick board member Ben Messinger said at a recent meeting. The school board recently agreed to hire more paraprofessionals

The relaunch of relations U.S., Afghan officials lay groundwork for postwar stability By Lolita C. Baldor and Matthew Lee Associated Press

CAMP DAVID, Md. — In a show of unity, U.S. and Afghan officials laid the groundwork for new relations between the two countries Monday, including plans to seek American funding to maintain an Afghan security force and long-term counterterrorism efforts. Discussions over future U.S. troop levels continue as the war winds down. In an all-day session at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin mountains, dozens of U.S. and Afghan officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and chief executive Abdullah Abdullah gathered to relaunch a relationship strained by nearly 14 years of war and often-testy relations with former Afghan President Hamid Karzai. During the meeting, the U.S. agreed to seek funding through 2017 for an Afghan force of 352,000, a level the nation has yet to meet, Carter said. U.S. officials said the Afghan government is trying to improve recruiting to make up for security forces who leave the service. They also agreed to require the Afghan government to complete specific reforms and meet other milestones in order to receive up to $800 million. U.S. officials said the Afghans

suggested the incentive-based funding idea. The leaders of the two nations also said they would restart routine ministerial-level Defense and State Department meetings. Ghani is to meet with President Barack Obama on Tuesday, an engagement during which officials expect the U.S. to make clear its decision to slow the pace of the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Ghani and Abdullah fought a contentious election last year to replace Karzai, and their power-sharing agreement was lauded by Kerry, who played a key role in brokering it. “It is easy today to underestimate the measure of courage and leadership and selflessness that was demanded at that moment, and that both of these leaders continue to show

in their commitment to a unity government,” Kerry said. He added that “huge challenges remain” but that the agreements to be reached this week will help pave the way for stability and security. Kerry said that the joint appearance at Camp David, along with the White House meetings, should serve as notice to the Taliban that the U.S.-Afghan relationship is back on track and they should negotiate rather than fight. Obama has promised to pull remaining U.S. troops out by the end of his presidency. But deficiencies in the Afghan security forces, heavy casualties in the ranks of the Afghan army and police, a fragile new government and fears that Islamic State fighters could gain a foothold in Afghanistan have combined to persuade

Obama to slow the withdrawal. Instead of trimming the current U.S. force of 9,800 to 5,500 by the end of this year, U.S. officials say the administration now might keep many of them there well into 2016. Obama has said that after that, the U.S. will maintain only an embassybased security force in Kabul of perhaps 1,000 troops. Ghani, who has expressed worries about Islamic State militants trying to gain a foothold in his country, has pressed to keep more U.S. troops there longer, but Obama has promised to end both wars in Afghanistan before his presidency ends in January 2017. Kerry said the U.S. is concerned about reports that Islamic State militants are recruiting in Afghanistan and that some Taliban are rebranding themselves as Islamic State members. He said the U.S. will continue to maintain a counterterrorism effort that is “focused on al-Qaida at this moment” but would also have the ability to assist the Afghan forces as they provide security for their nation. During a visit to the Pentagon earlier Monday, Ghani thanked U.S. troops and taxpayers for their wartime sacrifices. He pledged that his impoverished country will not remain a burden to the West. “We do not now ask what the United States can do for us,” Ghani said. “We want to say what Afghanistan will do for itself and for the world,” he added.

Utah again only state with firing squad By Michelle L. Price and Brady Mccombs Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah became the only state to allow firing squads for executions Monday when Gov. Gary Herbert signed a law approving the method’s use when no lethalinjection drugs are available. Herbert has said he finds the firing squad “a little bit gruesome,” but Utah is a capital punishment state and needs a backup execution method in case a shortage of the drugs persists. “We regret anyone ever commits the heinous crime of aggravated murder to merit the death penalty, and we prefer to use our primary method of lethal injection when such a sentence is issued,” Herbert spokesman Marty Carpenter said. “However, when a jury makes the decision and a judge signs a death warrant, enforcing that lawful decision is the obligation of the executive branch.” The measure’s approval is the latest illustration of some states’ frustration over bungled executions and difficulty obtaining the drugs. Utah is one of several states seeking

new forms of execution after a botched Oklahoma lethal injection last year. States have struggled to keep up drug inventories as European manufacturers opposed to capital punishment refuse to sell the components of lethal injections to U.S. prisons. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Paul Ray of Clearfield, argued that a team of trained marksmen is faster and more decent than the drawn-out deaths involved when lethal injections go awry — or even if they go as planned.

Though Utah’s next execution is probably a few years away, Ray said he wants to settle on a backup method now so authorities are not racing to find a solution if the drug shortage drags on. Currently, the state does not have lethalinjection drugs on hand. Opponents of the measure say firing squads are barbaric, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah saying the bill makes the state “look backward and backwoods.” Ralph Dellapiana, director of Utahns for Alternatives to

the Death Penalty, said it’s a disgrace that state lawmakers are still talking about methods to execute people. The firing squad, in particular, is cruel, he said. “It’s an embarrassment to Utah,” Dellapiana said. “We should be taking the moral lead on this. You can’t be both pro-life and pro-death.” Utah lawmakers stopped offering inmates the choice of firing squad in 2004, saying the method attracted intense media interest and took attention away from victims. Utah is the only state in the past 40 years to carry out such a death sentence, with three executions by firing squad since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. The last was in 2010, when Ronnie Lee Gardner was put to death by five police officers with .30-caliber Winchester rifles. Gardner killed a bartender and later shot a lawyer to death during a 1985 courthouse escape attempt. The bailiff’s widow, VelDean Kirk, who witnessed Gardner’s firing squad execution, called it great news Monday to hear Gov. Herbert had signed the bill.

Netanyahu apologizes to Arab minority By Ian Deitch Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Israel’s Arab citizens on Monday for remarks he made during last week’s parliament election that offended members of the community. The move appeared to be an attempt to heal rifts and mute criticism at home and in the U.S. Netanyahu drew accusations of racism in Israel, especially from its Arab minority, and a White House rebuke when, just a few hours before polling stations were to close, he warned that Arab citizens were voting “in droves.” Netanyahu, whose Likud Party won re-election in the

vote, met with members of the Arab community at his residence in Jerusalem on Monday and apologized. He said he knows his “comments last week offended some Israeli citizens and offended members of the Israeli-Arab community.” “This was never my intent. I apologize for this,” Netanyahu said. “I view myself as the prime minister of each and every citizen of Israel, without any prejudice based on religion, ethnicity or gender.” “I view all Israeli citizens as partners in the building of a prosperous and safe state of Israel, for all Israelis,” he also said. A recently established alliance of four small, mostly Arab

parties called the Joint List made unprecedented gains in the March 17 election, earning enough votes to make it the third-largest party in Israel’s parliament. Arab citizens make up 20 percent of Israel’s population. Equality is guaranteed in Israel’s laws but many Arabs have long complained of discrimination, mainly in the job and housing market. Ayman Odeh, the head of the Joint List, told channel 2 TV that Netanyahu’s apology was not accepted. “This is not a real apology,” Odeh said. “He incited against citizens who were exercising their basic right to vote for Knesset.” In the final days of the campaign, Netanyahu angered the U.S. by taking a tough stance

toward the Palestinians and by saying a Palestinian state will not be established on his watch in the current climate of regional chaos and violence. Resolving the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in a two state solution is a key U.S. foreign policy priority. The tough talk was part of a last-ditch attempt by Netanyahu to spur his more hard-line supporters to the polls after it appeared he was losing voters to a more hawkish party. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Monday that she had not seen the Netanyahu apology but that the Israeli prime minister is hard to read because “he said diametrically opposing things in the matter of a week.”

ACROSS THE U.S.

Cruz announces bid for presidency LYNCHBURG, Va. — Launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas asked Christian conservative voters to imagine a United States without the IRS, Obamacare or abortion rights — and to imagine they can make that happen by supporting him. His appeal Monday, aimed at America’s most conservative voters, could run into challenges in winning over moderate voters — and eventually deep difficulties in governing should Cruz win the White House. But it’s a message that Cruz, the first major 2016 contender to declare himself a candidate, is expected to forcefully emphasize in the coming year before voters start to pick nominees.

D.C.: Pentagon notifying troops named by IS hackers The Pentagon said Monday it is notifying 100 military members that their names and addresses were posted on the Internet by a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division. The group said it was posting the information, including photos of the individuals, to encourage Muslims in the United States to kill the military members. A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said there is no indication that the information was obtained through a government data breach.

Va.: Fraternity investigation A five-month police investigation into an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia that Rolling Stone magazine described in graphic detail produced no evidence of the attack and was stymied by the accuser’s unwillingness to cooperate, authorities said Monday. The article focused on a student identified only as “Jackie” who said she was raped at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity more than two years earlier. There were numerous discrepancies between the article, published in November 2014, and what investigators found, said Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo.

N.J.: Kennedy speaks against vaccine requirements Calling the federal agency that oversees vaccines a “sock puppet” for that industry, Robert Kennedy Jr. spoke out Monday in favor of allowing parents to choose whether to vaccinate their children. Kennedy, the nephew of President John Kennedy and son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, joined groups that oppose mandatory vaccinations for a news conference in the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton. Kennedy said all of his six children have been vaccinated, but he questioned the use of mercury in inoculations and said the pharmaceutical industry profits immensely from the Centers for Disease Control’s decisions to approve vaccines.

AROUND THE WORLD Botswana: Elephant decline A high rate of elephant poaching in parts of Africa was unchanged in 2014 compared to the previous year, meaning that a continued decline in elephant numbers is likely, according to a study released Monday in Botswana. A report by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which regulates wildlife trade, said poaching rates of elephants in areas that are being monitored still exceed their natural birth rates. Conservationists say tens of thousands of elephants have been killed in Africa in recent years as demand for ivory in Asia increases. Past estimates of Africa’s elephant population have ranged from 420,000 to 650,000.

Yemen: Military aid Embattled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has asked Gulf countries to intervene militarily against Shiite rebels who have seized the capital, his foreign minister told Saudi media Monday. Riad Yassin said Hadi also has asked the United Nations to impose a no-fly zone so that the rebels, known as Houthis, cannot use the airports they seized. He accused the rebels of being a proxy of Shiite Iran. The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council— Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain— warned earlier this year that they would act to protect the Arabian Peninsula’s security and described the Houthi takeover of parts of Yemen as a “terrorist” act.

Gender equity good for business By Danica Kirka Associated Press

LONDON — When Rohini Anand took over diversity programs at multinational catering company Sodexo in 2002, she had one goal: To prove that it pays for a company to have equal numbers of male and female managers.

by men. “It has become embedded now. It’s not just me talking about it anymore,” Anand says. Evidence is growing that gender equity is not just politically correct window-dressing, but good business. Companies are trying to increase the number of

women in executive positions, yet many are struggling to do so because of a failure to adapt workplace conditions in a way that ensures qualified women do not drop off the corporate ladder, surveys show. The case for companies to act is compelling. In a survey last year

of 366 companies, consultancy McKinsey & Co. found that those whose leadership roles were most balanced between men and women were more likely to report financial returns above their national industry median. Companies with more balanced leadership do a better job recruiting and retaining talented workers, reducing the costs associated with replacing top executives, McKinsey found. They also have stronger customer relations because management better reflects the diversity of society, and they tend to make See GENDER, Page A8

NEW YORK — Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said Monday he expects the Fed to start raising interest rates sometime this year. Once that happens, though, rates won’t likely move in any predictable pattern, he said. Last week. the central bank opened the door to a rate increase by no longer saying it would be “patient” in starting to raise rates. That change was viewed as a sign that the Fed could raise rates as early as June.

Fed vice chair: Rate hike is likely this year

By Bruce Smith CHARLESTON, S.C.— It seemed like a worthwhile experiment to a small winery: Submerge bottles of wine in sea water to see how they age. But a federal agency is concerned that ocean water could contaminate the wine. For two years, Napa Valley, California-based Mira Winery has been submerging bottles of wine in the harbor in Charleston, South Carolina, where its president lives, to determine the effects of water, motion, light and temperature on aging. But last week the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau issued an advisory saying water pressure could cause contaminants to seep into the bottles. It said the bureau will issue no labels for ocean-aged products until the Food and Drug Administration determines they are unadulterated. Mira produces several thousands of cases a wine a year but only 20 have been submerged, company president Jim “Bear” Dyke Jr. said Monday. The eight cases in the harbor now will be retrieved in May. It’s long been known that wine recovered from sunken ships has a unique flavor. And while wineries in Europe and California have aged wine in the ocean, Mira is doing a systematic analysis of ocean aging. “Overpressure on bottle seals increases the likelihood of seepage of sea or ocean water into the product,” the bureau advisory said. It added “biological growth on the container may contribute to the degradation of the cork

negotiations happened between the credit bureaus and Schneiderman, many of the changes will take place nationwide. But it may take awhile for things to go into effect. Many of the details have yet to be worked out, said Norm Magnuson, the Consumer Data Industry Association’s vice president of public affairs. The time frame for implementation of the various initiatives reaches out anywhere from six to 36 months, he said. When all the dispute enhancements are in place, hopefully you will no longer go mad trying to fix credit report errors.

what programs work. Fast. That’s because a woman’s prospects for promotion fall off at every step of the career ladder, according to a separate survey of 130 large companies conducted by McKinsey in 2012. While women made up 37 percent of the total workforce, they comprised 22 percent of middle managers, 14 percent of senior managers and vice presidents, 9 percent of executive committee members and 2 percent of CEOs. In France, Norway, Spain and Germany, governments have sought to mandate progress by imposing quotas for women on boards. Norway had the highest percentage — 35 percent — among 20 countries in Western Europe, North America and the AsiaPacific region last year, according to data compiled by Catalyst, which researches gender equity. The U.S. and Australia were tied for 10th at 19 percent. The average workplace remains locked in a postwar factory mentality with structured hours and a requirement to be at the office — and the expectation to keep working from home even when not physically present, researchers say. The Internet has helped working remotely, but for top managerial jobs that might lead to the boardroom, physical presence in the office and at work-related social events remain crucial. Add in broader social factors, such as expectations that moms do domestic duty, and the pressures can become too much. It’s not just about hours. Women often struggle with a male-dominated culture at executive levels, surveys show. Some have accused such a culture for the aggressive risk-taking that led to the global financial crisis.

Lehman Brothers had been Lehman Sisters, the crisis would look different. A recent study at Harvard Business School urged a rethink on why more women aren’t getting and keeping top jobs. The study, released in December, surveyed more than 25,000 graduates of the school since 1963, when women were first admitted to the MBA program. Harvard researchers Robin Ely and Colleen Ammerman, together with Pamela Stone of City University of New York, found that while men and women start out with similar career goals, women progress more slowly because of institutional hurdles and the demands of spouses for them to manage family responsibilities. The report suggests employers need to move beyond the idea that “family-friendly” policies such as flexible working hours are enough. This means reexamining “unspoken but powerful perceptions” such as the assumption that women are riskier hires because they are more likely to give up their careers for parenthood. Such factors can be hard to influence at a policy level, however, as they reflect social views. While governments have focused on the boardroom, companies like Sodexo decided they had to start by building a pipeline to get them there. Anand, the company’s global chief diversity officer, said Sodexo’s goal is for women to make up 25 percent of its top 300 managers this year. Women already make up 42 percent of the board of directors and 38 percent of the executive board. “The current workplaces were made by and for baby boomers,” Anand said. “If we are to retain the best and brightest, we need to look at workplaces differently.”

IN OUR VIEW | Mukilteo Lighthouse Park

Park’s parking fees a necessity This land was made for you and me. But you’re going to have to pay to park. The Mukilteo City Council last week approved a plan to charge for parking at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park. With an estimated 750,000 visitors each year, the park, with its beach on Possession Sound, is among the most popular parks in Snohomish County. That popularity has created a crunch for parking, and not just on the sunniest days. On weekends, cars often line up, waiting for an opportunity to get into the parking lot. As reported by Herald Writer Sharon Salyer, park visitors who are not residents of the city will pay $1 an hour, for up to four hours, between Oct. 1 and April 30, and $2 an hour from May 1 to Sept. 30. The parking fees are expected to begin June 1. Residents, whose

tax dollars already support the park and the city’s other services and facilities, can request a free pass for parking. Use of the park itself remains free, but with the limited parking available along the Mukilteo waterfront, there will be little choice but for most park users to pay a few dollars for each visit. Visitors also should expect Mukilteo to become a little more hardnosed about parking outside of the park’s lot as people attempt to avoid the fees. Mukilteo isn’t the first and won’t be the last to charge for parking at its parks. Snohomish County already charges a parking fee, $7 a day or $70 for an annual pass, at Wennberg and Kayak Point parks. And fees have been common for years at state and national parks. In fact, it’s likely visitors would have already been

paying to park at the Mukilteo park if the state hadn’t transferred ownership to the city in 2003. Washington state’s Discover pass, $33 a year, is necessary to park at almost all state parks. While most park users will stick with paying at the meter, Mukilteo should follow the lead of the state and the county and offer to expand its permit system to nonresidents willing to pay an annual fee. Even charging $35 to $40 for an annual fee could save families who make more than five trips a year to the park. Nobody likes paying fees, but in a time of budget constraints when city tax revenue must fund a range of necessities, the appeal of user fees, such as for parking, is clear. And it’s simple to steer that fee revenue to the park itself, as Mukilteo says it will do.

The city intends to hire two park rangers to enforce parking and park rules, and the revenue from parking fees also can be used as Mukilteo completes the next two phases of improvements that it outlined it its 2004 master plan for Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, including improvements to Front Street and a public pedestrian pier. The master plan also suggests construction of a parking garage, which also should be given more consideration. Mukilteo Lighthouse Park’s beach and open spaces provide a place for picnics, kite-flying, lying in the sun, turning rocks over to inspect sea life, watching ferries and general enjoyment of a nice day. It’s a gem among our parks, and it’s worth a few dollars to help Mukilteo keep it as such.

No, Starbucks has become an elitist beverage, its shops bastions of upper crust wannabees whose only concern about race relations is stirred when someone tells them it should be. Mr. Schultz should quit worrying about his legacy; we already have enough charitable icons in the area. I suggest he work on lowering his prices, focus on being a coffee vendor only (we really don’t need 200 variations of a travel mug), simplify the menu by not trying to cater to everyone’s whims and I think his chance for immorality will improve. Remember Rodney King? “Can’t we all just get along?” sounds really stupid from a rich, white guy.

structurally deficient bridges to continue deteriorating. These twisted funding priorities place us further into debt, and force commuters to pay the cost through worsened traffic and increased tolls. The state should spend our tax dollars more wisely rather than tolling us further.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■LIGHTHOUSE PARK

Fee for parking a bad precedent It saddened me to see that the Mukilteo City Council voted to start charging for parking at the Mukilteo Lighthouse Park. (Thursday article, “Nonresidents will pay fee to park at popular Lighthouse Park in Mukilteo.”) I have enjoyed the park since I was a child and it also holds many memories for my own family. Picnics and ice cream cones on the beach, hundreds of sunsets, searching for creatures among the rocks and a place to go to have a serious talk. To charge folks for access to one of few places we have in this area to enjoy the beauty of Puget Sound, without an entry fee, is a shame. A parking fee, no matter how modest, will keep many residents from visiting this regional treasure. All of the excuses made by the Mukilteo City Council about controlling traffic or paying for improvements seem to me to be a smokescreen for the real reason. They see a way to take an asset that I believe was given to the city of Mukilteo by the state of Washington for free, along with a hefty cash balance for maintenance and improvements, and turn it into a cash machine. Where is the $215,000 to $441,000 per year net revenue the council projects going to go? I doubt all of it will be spent to maintain or improve the park. Parks are a precious asset and should be free for all to enjoy. I suggest the Mukilteo City Council find other ways to balance their budget. If not, perhaps the next time a Mukilteo resident wants to spend some time at Everett’s Harborview Park, Howarth Park, Kasch Park or Forest Park, they should be charged for parking.

■■HISTORIC EVERETT

A city’s soul isn’t about parking Many thanks to Julie Muhlstein for her persuasive column concerning the potential loss of an historic block of Hewitt Avenue. (Friday, “An authentic, historic Everett is worth another look.”) The examples she cited should convince anyone that historic preservation is worthwhile. For the city’s leadership to promote redevelopment there is incredibly shortsighted, particularly when the goal is to provide parking for a proposed courthouse that should never have been approved for the block in question. History is what gives any town its charm. Imagine Everett if the high school or the Hotel Monte Cristo had been lost.

Have your say Include your name, address and daytime phone number. Send it to: E-mail: letters@heraldnet.com Mail: Letters section The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206 Picture Snohomish with one of its historic downtown blocks replaced by a modern building with a rooftop parking garage. Once historic buildings are gone, they are gone for good. If the city continues on this path, downtown will become less pleasant for walking, shopping and dining. What we’ll be left with is plenty of parking in a place no one wants to visit. I will quote Russell Baker: “Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things.” Linda Staab Everett

■■STARBUCKS

It’s for elitists, not commoners Kathleen Parker’s column, “Coffee’s for sippin’; papers are for opinin’,” brought out some thoughts I’ve had about Starbucks lately, especially the direction Howard Schultz seems to be taking it. Promoting racial equality by writing cryptic messages on coffee cups seems a little over the top, considering who is buying it. Starbucks coffee is not promoted for the masses; rather it is an overpriced, trendy beverage with so many flavorings and variations that I need an interpreter with me to order. A simple request for a medium coffee with cream gets a scared look from the barista who speed punches the panic button, warning the manager a “normie” got in the store.

■■WSDOT

Commuters pay for wasteful ways The March 19 article in the Herald “State Transportation Commission adopts I-405 express tolls” confirms that drivers, even two-person carpoolers, will now face intense traffic unless they pay up to $10 in tolls. Why must we pay so much? The answer is simple: our state Department of Transportation is broke. Rather than funding much needed repair, maintenance and design improvements of our roads, WSDOT is spending billions of dollars on unnecessary freeway projects, which place them further into debt. According to their website, WSDOT currently spends most of its fuel tax revenue on debt service. But WSDOT is not fully to blame. In their $15 billion package, our legislators are spending billions of dollars for new massive freeway projects which have not been adequately researched, and are simply not needed. Meanwhile, the package allocates less than 10 percent of funding to maintenance, allowing our 382

■■SPENDING

Tax cuts starve insatiable beast Regarding Dr. Schwab’s column, “The unfailing belief in tax cuts and other headscratchers,” maybe it should be stated differently. Something along the lines of cutting spending. With about $19 trillion in immediate debt and over $90 trillion in unfunded mandates, Medicare and such, isn’t it about time to pull in one’s horns? If we ever get back up to 10 percent plus in interest rates we will understand immediately what Greece has been going through. Tax cuts and cutting spending are meant to starve the beast of government at all levels. Certainly there will be enough to support those, the indigent and frail, who cannot fend for themselves. But the able-bodied will be getting off their keisters and turning, too. You can stop your head scratching at any time. Dennis Wojciak Marysville

Handicapping the early field of GOP players

W

ith Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas becoming the first A-lister to throw his hat in the ring for president — in his case, I’m picturing a Napoleonic bicorn rather than a fedora — it’s time to handicap the race for the Republican nomination. I see it as Jeb Bush vs. the field, and I’m not ready to put my money on Bush. Some may write off Cruz’s candidacy as a potentially entertaining sideshow, given his negligible showing in the polls. But that would be premature. EUGENE ROBINSON Whatever anyone thinks about Cruz, even his critics agree that he’s smart. True, his habit of usurping Speaker John Boehner’s job and leading House Republicans into hopeless battles has alienated much of the GOP establishment. But whatever game he’s playing, Cruz has the intelligence to look several moves ahead. For this reason alone, I can’t count him out. Texas Ted is still a long shot, however. The man to beat is Bush — and I think someone could do just that, though I’m not sure who. Take all of this with as many grains of salt as you like. Polling results are all over the map, and the sheer number of potential candidates makes meaningful analysis basically impossible at this point. Anecdotal evidence abounds but is by definition unreliable. All of which explains why predicting the outcome of the nomination battle, at this far-too-early date, is so much fun. There are so few facts to get in the way of a good story. With these caveats, we do know that Bush — not yet a declared candidate — has moved quickly to lock up a host of major Republican donors, assemble teams of experienced advisers and reportedly begin working out a comprehensive strategy for the general election. Since the beginning of the year, polls have shown him at or near the top of the field. Is he, in the end, too much of a moderate to stir the passions of Republican primary voters? I don’t know, but I think he has a bigger problem: that unfortunate last name. I can think of two people who would be absolutely delighted if the 2016 presidential election were between a Republican named Bush and a Democrat named Clinton: Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. If they run against each other, the dynastic issue becomes a wash. For most of the country, however, I believe this prospect is less than thrilling. Which might explain why Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is suddenly challenging Bush for the early lead — beating him, actually, in some polls. A couple of months ago, I’d wager, most Americans could not have picked Walker out of a lineup. Now, anyone paying close attention knows at least a few things about him: He talks tough, which Republican primary voters like. He won a battle against public employee unions in his state, which Republican primary voters love. And he isn’t named Bush. Nobody knows if Walker has what it takes to make it all the way through primary season. And a host of others will have the chance to present themselves as the not-named-Bush alternative. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, like Bush, would automatically give Republicans a good chance of taking Florida’s electoral votes, which the GOP almost surely will need to have any hope of winning the presidency. Rubio has positioned himself as a foreign policy hawk. But will he have a positive message that can get voters excited? And will the party ever forgive him his apostasy on immigration? Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, with his noninterventionist leanings on foreign policy and his libertarian views on some social issues, has unique appeal, among Republicans, for younger voters. But can he survive what will surely be a withering assault from GOP hawks who advocate a more muscular U.S. presence around the world? It is unclear whether former Texas Gov. Rick Perry can do better this time around or whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential hopes still have a pulse. It is also unclear, at least to me, why famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson registers in double digits in some polls, despite never having run for public office. One of these men — and yes, they’re all men — may have the imagination to shape what Sarah Palin might call a “hopey changey” campaign message and the discipline to stick to it. If the candidate who does this is not named Bush, that’s where I’ll be placing my bet. Eugene Robinson’s email address is eugenerobinson@washpost.com.

Tips for staying in touch with teens

I

n the past year, it seems like our community has experienced more than its share of adolescent suicide. Each death tears at us, and brings fear to our hearts. We worry about each and every one of our children. The facts and figures of suicide are daunting. Based on the last survey completed in 2013, the Center for Disease Control noted there were 41,149 deaths attributed to suicide (as compared to 30,000 plus deaths related to auto accidents). It’s the 10th leading cause of death. The suicide rate went down slightly between 1986-2000, but has risen again since then. In 2013, adults between the ages of 45 to 64 years of age experienced the highest rate of suicide. Older adults, 85 and up, had the second highest rate of suicide. Teens had the lowest rate. Ironically, growing older increases the risk of death by suicide. Males have four times the rate of suicide than females. Firearms account for the largest percentage of these deaths at 51 percent, with suffocation coming second at close to 25 percent and poisoning at 16.1 percent. The ratio of suicide attempts or gestures to suicide death in teens is 25 to 1. There are many factors that are associated with a completed suicide — history of past suicide attempts, use of disinhibiting drugs (tranquilizers, alcohol, or narcotics), depression, traumatic loss or life change, family history of completed suicide, access to weapons or other means of self-harm, impulsivity, unstable mental status, lack of social support, and the individuals perception of their future. Adolescents are by nature, impulsive. Their brains are not yet fully developed. While teens may have the lowest suicide rate, their deaths often have the greatest impact on their families, friends, and community. We are responsible for the safety and well-being of our children. Yet, communicative and connected children can become disgruntled, withdrawn teens that don’t talk to their parents about what they are thinking or feeling. When children hit adolescence, it’s as if they descend into an underground tunnel beneath us. We know that they’re there, but we can’t see or hear them. Periodically, they pop up as their old childlike selves, but then quickly disappear from view again. We worry who and what will emerge when they are 20. Luckily our kids’ friends know what they’re up to. Facebook, Instagram, and other social media tell all. It’s a good thing, because otherwise we might be clueless to what’s going on in their lives. But their peer group may feel that they have to protect the privacy of their buddies. Fortunately, many kids do alert parents and adults when their friends are in trouble. What can parents do? Take self-harm and suicidal talk seriously. When you discover signs of self-harm (cutting) or suicidal talk, make an appointment for them to see a mental health professional. Ask their health care See SCHOENFELD, Page B5

Belly dancer Roxy Stimpson, of Mukilteo, dances at her studio, Zamani World Dance, in Bothell recently. Stimpson, who works full time as an IT consultant with her company Roxagi Corporation, won four trophies at the annual Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition in February in Long Beach, California.

Dancing her way to the top By J.C. O’Brien Special to The Herald

Shrapnel from the bomb sank so deeply into the toddler’s arm that the doctors wanted to amputate. Fortunately, the girl’s grandmother knew something about herbs and salves, and she announced that no one was going to take her granddaughter’s arm and took her home to heal. That was 40 years ago in Vietnam, and as time passed, at least one piece of shrapnel fell out. The other piece might still be in Roxy Stimpson’s arm, but it doesn’t give her any trouble, especially not when she stretches that arm while she belly dances. Last month, the 43-year-old Mulkiteo resident and owner of Zamani World Dance in Bothell took home four trophies at the Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition, edging out dancers from more than 11 countries

Learn to dance Roxy Stimpson recently took over Zamani Culture House from belly dance master Tamalyn Dallal, renaming it Zamani World Dance. The studio offers flamenco, yoga, Bollywood, belly dance, Persian dance and Asian Fusion (Vietnamese fan veil) for people of all shapes, sizes and ages. Stimpson hopes to add African dance and continue to make the studio a community meeting place. Teachers are Roxy Stimpson, Dahlia Moon (another BDUC champion), Janelle Bel Isle, Maria Morca, Mariana, Samarah and Shimmy Sister Kate. Zamani World Dance is located in Bothell Country Village, 23718 Bothell-Everett Highway, Suite C, Bothell. For more information, go to zamaniworlddance.com or call 650-898-7699. as well as competitors from across the United States. Stimpson didn’t start belly dancing until her late 30s when she’d found out the hard way that pulling 36-hour shifts as an IT consultant was bad for her health. After one particularly long stint of checking code, she felt a sharp pain in her back. A trip to the chiropractor was followed

by a trip to the ER, which provided Stimpson’s wake-up call: Sitting for all those hours had led to a kidney stone. She needed to find some form of exercise. She tried yoga, Zumba and Pilates before settling on belly dance because she was looking for something that she could do any time without having to rely on a partner.

When she started in 2009, she had no thoughts of competing or making a career out of dancing. “It was just a sport,” she said. “People go to the gym five hours a week. I go to class three hours a week.” But while she found wonderful teachers in Seattle’s Delilah Flynn and Bellevue’s Zulaika, the economy made it a rough time to be a dance instructor. People weren’t spending money on classes. As a business owner, Stimpson started thinking of ways to help her teachers. Coming from the tech world where acquiring certifications is a necessity, she decided if she competed and did well it would help her instructors. Her first competition win was a solo in the novice category at the 2011 La Danse, a competition held in March each year in Fife. She also competed in See DANCE, Page B5

Expectant couple forestalling on pink and blue

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My husband and I are expecting our first child. We have chosen not to find out the sex, largely because we want to hold off the avalanche of pink or blue for an extra few months. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, has pretty rigid views on gender roles — I have no idea how my husband turned out the way he did! — and we know she’ll be dramatically offended if we try to articulate this to her. We can’t decide if we should just lie and say we aren’t finding out the sex because we want to be surprised, or if we should use this as an opportunity to try (once again) to explain how we think about gender. Is it worth trying to take a stand here? — Trying Not to Insult Not yet. Your child will be immune to such influence until s/he acquires the language to understand it, so luxuriate in that for a while. You also lose leverage when you take it on preemptively. Instead, in a few years when Grandma makes a “Girls like pink” comment to your child, you can state matter-of-factly, “Boys like pink, too ... did you know it used to be a boy color?” (http://bit.ly/1lueMJd). Then it’s not an attack, it’s conversation

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT — around the right set of ears. You can, yes, also count on your greater influence, and on the fact that your child will form opinions independently, as your husband apparently did himself. But don’t lie about why you’re waiting to learn the baby’s sex. Say it to your mother-in-law without making it about your mother-in-law: “When people know, it becomes all about Boy or Girl. We’re just enjoying the idea of either right now.” Re: Gender roles: Sometimes we bend over backward to present our children with the version of society we want them to see. But in reality, there are a lot of opinions out there, and we don’t have to agree with all of them. If Grandma has mildly offensive — but not damaging — viewpoints, what harm could it be to expose the children to that?

Then, later, explain why Grandma might feel the way she does. Teach children they can’t control what other people think or feel, they can only control their reaction to it. Then give them space to form their own opinions. — Anonymous I love this, thank you. I do think such viewpoints can be damaging, since they work their way into a child’s self-image, so I maintain allegiance to the on-the-spot, “Actually, [blah blah blah fact-check]” when we have both the facts and the presence of mind to do so. But this philosophy of acceptance is a beautiful way to handle diversity of experience and opinion in general. Re: Gender: I think the key is to introduce your kid to lots of different kinds of people. Words are important, but what they see really sticks. When we visited my dad a couple of weeks ago, my 6-year-old explained to him that boys wear dresses, too, and that comes from taking her to Pride every year. — Anonymous 2 Yes to the varied experiences — and, tying this in with not shielding kids from “mildly offensive” opinions, I’d even specify nonjudgmental exposure to varied experiences.

Mom with cancer does not need to be shielded from life

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 Enemy of the pictured

animal

Dear Abby: My wife has stage 4 breast cancer. She is only 51, and our most optimistic prognosis is three to four more years. Our children, 15 and 16, understand her disease, but don’t really have a sense of how much longer we all have together. Recently we went out to dinner, and the kids started talking about my retirement plans and their college plans. Later that night, my wife told me how sad it was hearing the kids talk about things she knows she will never see. I have been debating whether I should have a talk with the kids and perhaps suggest they avoid subjects that make their mother sad. What do you think? — Not Talking About The Future Dear Not Talking: Before talking to your children, I think you should talk to your wife. Although your instinct is to protect her, I don’t think you can. Sadness in her situation is normal. I’m sure if you were to ask her if she’d prefer the kids censor their remarks in front of her, she would tell you she wants to hear everything she can about what they are thinking. When people have a terminal illness, they have a right to be sad when contemplating the things they will be missing — in your wife’s case it will be seeing her children get married, her grandchildren and more. Let your children express themselves fully with their mother, and if she’s having a bad/sad day, listen and let her unburden herself. A joy shared is twice a joy, and a burden shared is half a burden. Dear Abby: As a gift, my boyfriend, “Seth,” gave me a Chihuahua puppy. I like dogs, but have never RIP HAYWIRE

expressed a desire to have one. In fact, I have repeatedly mentioned my dislike for small dogs and that I wouldn’t have a dog due to my travel schedule for work. Seth still chose to give me one. When I refused his gift, he yelled and left. My friends think I was rude, and that Seth was sweet for buying me a puppy. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened with Seth. For my birthday he bought me a smartphone, signed me up for a two-year contract and expected me to pay the monthly bill. I refused that, too. Am I wrong? — Simple Girl In Southern California Dear Simple Girl: You and Seth appear to have a serious disconnect when it comes to communication. Is this the only area of your relationship in which he is tone-deaf? Your boyfriend seems to be the master of the “grand gesture,” with no thought about the responsibilities his generous gifts will impose on the recipient. Because you told him clearly that you dislike small dogs, he should not have forced one on you. In fact, he shouldn’t have given you any living, breathing dependent creature without first having made sure it would be welcomed. You did the right thing — the humane thing — in not accepting the animal.

with a technical knockout in the 15th round of a fight in Richfield, Ohio. (Wepner, a journeyman known as the “Bayonne Bleeder,” inspired Sly Stallone to make his “Rocky” films.) In 1976, the president of Argentina, Isabel Peron, was deposed by her country’s military. In 1980, one of El Salvador’s most respected Roman Catholic Church leaders, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, was shot to death by a sniper as he celebrated Mass in San Salvador. In 1989, the supertanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on a reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound and began leaking an estimated 11 million gallons of crude oil. In 1995, after 20 years, British soldiers stopped routine patrols in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1999, NATO launched airstrikes against Yugoslavia, marking the first time in its 50-year existence that it had ever attacked a sovereign country. Thirty-nine people were killed when fire erupted in the Mont Blanc tunnel in France and burned for two days. Associated Press

‘Glee’ ends its tuneful 6-season run NEW YORK — The “Glee” series finale delivered glorious news that William McKinley High School is being turned into an arts school and that Will Schuester, who started its glee club way back in 2009, will become its principal. Oh, and that wondrous show choir, New Directions, won the national championship. Another dream fulfilled: Mercedes (Amber Riley) told the gang she’ll be the opening act on Beyonce’s upcoming world tour. Cue the songs: “Teach Your Children” ... “Someday We’ll Be Together” ... “The Winner Takes It All” ... “Daydream Believer.” That’s how it went — happily ever after — as the Fox song-and-dance show concluded its six-season run Friday night. “Glee” leaves behind a remarkable legacy. First of all, it dared to try something that had seldom if ever succeeded in television history,

blending episodic narrative with musical production numbers. It set those performances in the context of New Directions at fictitious McKinley High, a setting replete with stories about growing up, self-acceptance, perseverance and dreams. “Glee” did something else few would have thought possible: It helped make glee clubs cool while it promoted arts programs in schools. While it was

demonstrating a viewer appetite for musical theater among its audience, “Glee” accomplished one more thing: It highlighted, and even helped normalize, young people traditionally deemed marginal both in real life and on TV. Among the characters included in the “Glee” big tent was transgender girl Wade “Unique” Adams. Tolerance, or at least reaching for it, was a “Glee” hallmark. During its mostly joyous run, “Glee” weathered

loads of onscreen drama. But there was bitter, real-life drama, too — notably the death of Cory Monteith. A breakout star who played singer-quarterback Finn Hudson, he had struggled off-camera with substance abuse. Then, in July 2013, he died at 31 of an accidental alcohol and drug overdose. That October, “Glee” said goodbye to Finn (whose death, never described, was written into the series) while paying tribute to Monteith in an emotional farewell episode where reality intruded all too vividly on the show’s makebelieve tale. In the finale, the fabled high school auditorium five years from now will be renamed for Finn Hudson. Meanwhile, reality intruded once again: For the characters at McKinley High, as well as the audience that has followed them with every note, graduation day has come. Frazier Moore, Associated Press

Richard Burton. “Stop stealing my act,” Allen told the young Presley. When Burton asked if Allen, whose credits include TV series, game shows and movies, had ever considered doing Shakespeare, the comic’s comeback: “I don’t do old material.” Allen credits his longevity to his attitude — “I enjoy life” — and his work. “I think the fact I can make people laugh and entertain them, maybe that helps me feel good and keep going,” he said.

Anywhere three or four people came in and had a meeting, I did my comedy,” he said.

She said she’s ended up with dancers crying on her shoulders when they lose, but not Stimpson. Stimpson cited life experiences for giving her perspective.

Even though winning is amazing, but if you come in thinking you will win, it can be stressful. Come in thinking here’s what I want to do and here’s my goal. It’s like my final exam for the year,� said Stimpson. Stimpson finds competition’s feedback process particularly helpful. “One

teacher would cost me so much money. For competition, you can have five to 10 teachers, plus the audience giving you feedback,� Stimpson said. Like any great athlete, Stimpson continues to hone her skills through studies with local masters like Maria Morca, Delilah Flynn and Tamalyn Dallal while taking advantage of a range of visiting instructors such as Turkey’s Gigi Dilsah, Washington D.C.’s Artemis Mourat

and Denver’s Sadie Marquardt. Stimpson also continues intensive training with Portland-based Ruby Beh. Shortly before competing in the fusion category at this year’s BDUC, Stimpson learned that her beloved mother-in-law, Renee Salmon, had lost her fight with cancer. Also an artist, a painter, her mother-in-law already had asked Stimpson to dance at her wake. Stimpson was in the

habit of taking stress to the dance floor, so she honored her mother-inlaw the best way she knew how — she took her grief to the stage. “Emotions are strange,� said Stimpson, who was named Universal Champion and People’s Choice at BDUC, “when you have something pass, you go through waves. Having something that helps you manage that feeling, to let it out in a very short burst is really amazing.�

secretive behavior. While controversial, I think it’s OK to be something of a snoop. It’s better to get in trouble with your teen for looking over their shoulder than to be clueless about their circumstances. Parents have to balance on the tight rope of respecting their youngster’s privacy and insuring their safety.

Spend time with your kids. This is tough, because teens lose interest in hanging out with their parents. I used to take my girls to breakfast, because at least they still liked to eat, with or without me! I would offer to take them to the mall, even though I hated to go shopping. I focused on

their interests and hoped I could tag along. Time together creates opportunities for talk. Staying in touch with your teen is the best insurance policy for their safety. Make sure that guns are locked away and that children have zero access. This is important. Kids can have very bad moments

that will pass. During those instants, access to weapons can be lethal.

This meeting is in addition to the regularly scheduled Planning Commission Meetings that occur on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The agenda will be posted on the City’s website one week prior to the meeting www.arlingtonwa.gov. Published: March 24, 2015. EDH622422 CITY OF ARLINGTON NOTICE OF SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION DUNGENESS GEARWORKS PLN#142 PWD#373 File Name: Dungeness Gearworks File Number: PLN#142 and PWD#373 Lead Agency: City of Arlington, Department of Community & Economic Development Description: The Applicant is proposing to construct a 10,500 square foot accessory building to an already existing building onsite. Construction of the new building will involve 450 cubic yards of both cut and fill. Location: The site is located in at 18021 59th Ave NE Arlington, WA 98223 Applicant: Nylander Property, LLC 12800 Hwy 99 South, Everett, WA 98204 Staff Contact: Troy Davis, Associate Planner, tdavis@arlingtonwa.gov; Marc Hayes, Permit Center Manager, mhayes@arlingtonwa.gov Date Checklist Prepared: March 10, 2015 Approvals Required: SEPA Review, Grading Permit, SWPPP, Building Permit SEPA Threshold Determination: The City has determined that with the mitigation measures identified herein, this proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request. However, we have identified impacts by the proposed project that requires mitigation. In addition to the requirement that the development must comply with all City of Arlington zoning and development regulations, the following conditions of approval of the permit decision apply: (B)(1) Earth: In order to reduce erosion impacts, the Applicant shall submit a Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and receive approval from the City for these plans prior to any construction activities. (B)(2) Air: In order to reduce air impacts, the Applicant shall implement dust control during construction. (B)(13) Historic and Cultural Preservation: In order to reduce potential impacts to cultural resources that may exist on-site, the Applicant shall submit an Unanticipated Discovery Plan (UDP) to the City prior to any construction activities. (B)(14) Transportation: In order to mitigate for the impacts to the City’s transportation network, a mitigation fee of $12,078 shall be paid prior to building permit approval. A traffic mitigation fee was calculated based on information received from Dungeness Gear Works 12/16/14. Dungeness Gear Works employs 25 full time positions, the subject property (Campbell-Nelson) employed 15 FT employees, which are credited to the property. The proposed use adds an additional 10 employees to the subject property. The ITE Tr ip Generation Manual, land use code (140) Manufacturing was utilized, based on Weekday Employees, , Peak Hour between 4 and 6 p.m. in calculating the trips generated from the proposed use. The average rate per employee is 0.36; 0.36 X 10 = 3.6 3.6 X $ 3355.00 = $12,078.00. Disclaimer: The determination that an environmental impact statement does not have to be filed does not mean there will be no adverse environmental impacts. The City of Arlington codes governing noise control, land use performance standards, constr uction and improvements of roads, off site road improvement obligations, drainage control, traffic, school, park, stormwater, and utility mitigations, fire protection; and building practices will provide substantial mitigation of the aforementioned impacts. The issuance of this MDNS should not be interpreted as acceptance or approval of this proposal as presented. The City of Arlington reserves the right to deny or approve said proposal subject to conditions if it is determined to bin the best interest of the city and/or necessary for the general health, safety, and welfare of the public to do so. Date of Determination of MDNS: March 20, 2015 Comment Period: There is a 14-day comment period for this MDNS. If you would like to comment on this Threshold Determination, written comments must be received prior to 5:00 p.m. on April 3, 2015. The Responsible Official may incorporate any substantial comments into the MDNS. If the MDNS is substantially modified, it will be reissued for further public review. How to Reach Us: The Permit Center for the City of Arlington Community and Economic Development Department is located at the Arlington Airport Office, 18204 59th Avenue NE, Arlington, WA 98223.

MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (MDNS) LAKEWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT #306 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proposed action is approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and building/grading permits from Snohomish County to allow the construction of a new high school. The New Lakewood High School project proposes demolition of the existing 1983 high school facility and building a new high school building just south of the existing school. The new high school facility will increase the building area of the existing 79,4 22 s quare feet school, plus seve n existing por table classrooms, to an overall area of approximately 162,500 square feet. The new building would suppor t a projected student population of 825 students. In addition to the new school facility, the football field surface would be replaced with synthetic turf and some tenant improvements to the grandstand facility may be included. The project would be phased with an early site package for grading and work to be conducted on the southern section of the site for storm detention systems and improved parking areas. Approximately 49,000 cubic yards of earthwork cut and 31,000 cubic yards of earthwork fill are expected with the project. The proposal includes three landscaping variance requests and a landscaping modification request. Construction is scheduled to start in the summer of 2015 for the early site work. Completion of the overall new construction is scheduled for a fall opening in 2017. The demolition of the existing building will proceed once occupancy permits are issued for the new building.

PROPONENT: Lakewood School District No. 306 LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The project site is located at 17023 11th Avenue NE, on the Lakewood School District Campus, Arlington, Washington in unincorporated Snohomish County. The Lakewood High School is part of a larger 83.7-acre Campus and was consolidated into a single tax parcel number (#31053000100300), which is located within a portion of the northeast quarter of Section 30, Township 31 North, Range 5 East, W.M LEAD AGENCY: The Lakewood School District No. 306 is the lead agency for this MDNS. The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030 (2) (c). This determination assumes compliance with State law and Snohomish County (as the permitting jurisdiction) ordinances related to general environmental protection. Issuance of this threshold determination does not constitute approval of the permit(s). This proposal will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable Snohomish County codes, which regulate development activities. This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public upon request.

This Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance is issued with the following conditions: Plants • The District has requested a landscaping modification. This request is being made as outlined in SCC30.25.040 to allow the existing berm along the 172nd Street NE frontage to be used to fulfill the Type B landscaping requirements. If this request is approved, the District will provide landscaping as outlined in the approval by Snohomish County. • There are three landscape variance requests included with the proposal. The first request would be to eliminate landscaping between other school uses owned by the District. The second request is for a reduction in the 20 foot wide Type A landscaping required adjacent to the church proper ty northeast of the high school site. The third request is to reduce the Type A 20 foot wide landscaped buffer along 11th Avenue NE to be reduced to 10 foot wide Type B landscaping. If these requests are approved, the District will provide landscaping as outlined in the approval by Snohomish County. Land and Shoreline Use The existing high school building will be demolished once the move into the new building has been completed and permits issued for the contractor to proceed with demolition, which is anticipated to be in fall of 2017. Transportation The District will provide dedication of additional right-of-way at the intersection of 11th Avenue NE and 172nd Street NE (SR-531) for a future roundabout. This MDNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the published date below. Comments must be submitted by April 6, 2015 to the Responsible Official as named below.

experience and be persistent, and you will reach your goal. ���� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shopping for something that will make you feel or look good will encourage you to be more social. Romance will lead to personal improvements with someone you think is special. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Partnerships will take a turn, but if handled properly, will put you in a much better position. Size up whatever situation you face at home and make adjustments that will bring you peace of mind. ����� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be tempted by a deal someone offers. Joint ventures will be costly and will require insight, but if you choose to proceed alone, you will find the road to victory. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your ability to get things done will put you in a good position. A lack of honesty can be expected when dealing with others. Don’t share personal information. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Refuse to let anyone push you into something that makes you feel uncertain. Stick close to home and nurture relationships with the people in your life who count. ����� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider what brings you the most happiness. Focus on reviving an old skill or looking for a position that allows you the freedom to do what you enjoy most. �� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more you get to share your thoughts with someone with whom you have a history, the closer you will come to finding the perfect solution to help you advance. ����

Snohomish’s Luke Kuna prides himself on playing well in inclement weather

By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Growing up on a golf course in Port Orchard, on the Kitsap Peninsula, Luke Kuna learned to like playing in bad weather. “My buddies and I would go onto the course and play in rain, snow or whatever,” he said. As Kuna grew up, moved with his family to Snohomish before his freshman year and began playing more competitive golf, he came to wear his ability to play well in bad weather as a badge of honor, an advantage he could exploit against his opponents. “A lot of people don’t like playing

Golfers to Watch

Arnold Ha Soph. | Jackson

As a freshman in 2014, Ha finished tied for 27th at the Class 4A boys state tournament to complete a year of great change. After emigrating from the Republic of Korea to the United States with his family before the school year, Ha had to get acclimated to life in America as well as high school golf. Jackson coach Jim Anderson said Ha did both very well, and should improve as a sophomore. “His mental strength is really special,” Anderson said. “If he hits a bad shot, he doesn’t let it destroy his round. His preparation and focus are unbelievable.” Anderson added that Ha routinely puts in additional time by himself after practice at Mill Creek Country Club to hone his game. “I always tell the boys that to really be good, you have to make a commitment,” Anderson said. “Arnold puts the time in.”

Trevor Frisby Sr. | Meadowdale Meadowdale coach Josh Knowles said Frisby has committed himself to getting the most out of his considerable talent, playing as much tournament golf as he could during the offseason to test himself in the crucible of competition. Knowles said that if Frisby continues to putt and chip well — he was the medalist in each of the Mavericks’ first two events this spring — he will improve on his 34th-place finish at the Class 3A boys state tournament last May.

in the rain,” the Snohomish junior said. “I don’t mind it, and my length off the tee helps me have success in bad weather.” At the Class 4A state tournament last May at Camas Meadows, Kuna fired a 70 in the rain to place second heading into the second and final day of action. Kuna said the pressure of playing in the last group with the tournament leaders got to him a bit on Day 2, and he made a few mistakes that resulted in a 79. He finished the event tied for 10th. “I thought of myself as a state competitor, but after the state tournament last year, I realized that I could play with the best players in 4A,” Kuna said.

Kuna, who learned to play from his mother, Lori, an avid recreational golfer when she and Luke’s father lived in North Carolina before Luke was born, has a solid all-around game and an uncomplicated swing that rarely gets out of whack. “Not a lot of things go wrong with his swing. It’s simple and powerful,” Snohomish boys coach Joe Mutcheson said. “It’s an easily repeatable motion.” Kuna spent the offseason playing in Washington Junior Golf Association and American Junior Golf Association events against other top prep golfers from around the state, but also played in the Snohomish County Amateur Championship and Bremerton City Amateur

against older competitors. “I got great experience, and advice also,” Kuna said. Kuna also worked in the weight room to maintain his length off the tee, and Mutcheson said his team constantly works on putting and chipping. “He’s always working on improving his short game, and that can make the difference between scores in the postseason,” Mutcheson said. This year’s Class 4A boys state tournament will be played at The Creek at Qualchan in Spokane, so rain is unlikely to be in the forecast on May 27-28. But Kuna is poised to stay near the top of the leaderboard this time around.

“He has all the shots that are needed for golf,” Knowles said. “He can get out of trouble anywhere, he can hit a long drive and he can hit a big putt. He has a really good repertoire.”

frame to generate speed on the club head through the ball, Kwak is longer off the tee than most and is learning to harness her emotions. “She’s a bright girl and a smart player who knows how and where to play the ball, but I wanted her to work on learning to relax,” Knights coach Bud Davis said. “She finished 21st at state as a freshman and set expectations of finishing in the top five last year, but her emotions got in the way of that.” Kwak finished tied for 27th as a sophomore, but played in Washington Junior Golf Association and American Junior Golf Association events in the offseason to sharpen her skills against top competition. She’ll front a talented Kamiak lineup that features freshman Rachel Ponting and returning state placers Hannah Lee and Olivia Kim.

“Megan gets a lot of rounds of golf in over the summer and that work ends up paying off,” Glacier Peak coach Kelven May said. “She’s always been pretty consistent, but she’s been working on getting more distance on her drives to put her in better position to score. She’s the most consistent scorer we have, but it’s just about getting those bogeys down to pars.”

Ben Thacker Sr. | Arch. Murphy Thacker will lead the way for a Wildcat boys team that has designs on a Class 2A state championship this season, a squad that coach Jack Serwold calls the best the program has ever produced. Thacker finished tied for ninth at state last season, shooting under 80 in both rounds. Serwold raves about Thacker’s work ethic and self-confidence. “He’s a marvelous young man that is also our student body president,” Serwold said. “He works hard in everything he does, and our whole team looks up to him. He’s our leader and our team captain.” Serwold said Thacker is an all-around player. “Ben is good with every club in his bag,” Serwold said. “He’s a great putter and chipper and has great confidence in himself. He’s just a really good player.”

Renee Kwak Jr. | Kamiak At her best, the Kamiak junior looks like the very picture of a golfer off the tee. Using her long and lean 5-foot-9

Megan Christie Sr. | Glacier Peak Christie achieved her 2014 season goal of shooting a tournament round in the 80s in the first match of the Grizzlies’ season, and finished the campaign with a top-20 placing at the Class 3A girls state tournament. After a summer honing her game on her own at Snohomish Golf Course and Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett, Christie is looking to break into the 70s with regularity as a senior.

Hannah Roh Jr. | King’s Roh helped lead the King’s girls to the Class 1A state team title as a sophomore last season, along with Charis Tsai, who was then a junior. Roh, who started playing golf just four or five years ago, according to King’s coach Simonette Sancho, has made up for lost time in a big way. “Her biggest talent is her determination,” Sancho said. “She’s decided that she really enjoys golf and plays year-round. She gets a lot of joy in seeing how she can keep improving in competition.” Roh placed fourth as an individual at state last spring, and given her consistency, is a good bet to at least equal that performance as a junior. “Hannah is really solid mentally,” Sancho said. “She focuses a lot on her game and is always at the golf course working on her game.”

Catcher Ray Angeledes, a member of the Everett Little League, catches a pitch during a practice at Phil Johnson Ball Fields last week.

Coming together North Everett Little League and South Everett Little League had been rivals for more than 50 years, but due to a declining number of players, the two leagues have merged to form Everett Little League. By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

For more than 50 years, the city of Everett was represented by two highly competitive, highly distinct Little Leagues. Divided geographically, North Everett Little League and South Everett Little League had survived and thrived since sometime back in the early 1950s. But due to a declining number of baseball players, the two leagues combined this year into one — Everett Little League. And even though “it’s going to take some getting used to,” said league president Bob Harns, “I think it’ll be a good thing in the long run.” The reason for the merger, Harns explained, is a drop in the

number of players, particularly in north Everett. Last season South Everett LL had five majors baseball teams, but there were just two in North Everett LL. Because the city’s north end has an older population with fewer kids, he went on, “North Everett has been kind of struggling for a while.” Other reasons for the decline in player participation, Harns said, are select baseball and softball leagues, and the growth of other sports such as soccer and lacrosse. “There are a lot of things that have been pulling kids away,” he said. By merging this season Everett LL has six majors teams, and the total number of players is about the average for all the leagues in

There are a lot of things that have been pulling kids away.” — Bob Harns Everett Little League president

District 1, which is essentially Snohomish County, Harns said. But even if the math makes sense, old loyalties remain strong. Reaction to the merger “has been very mixed,” said Harns, who

spent almost two decades working with North Everett LL. “I talk to a lot of people and some of them are like, ‘Oh, it’s great.’ Or, ‘It’s about time.’ But then you talk to some of the old-school Everett people and they don’t agree with it. So (the feedback) is a real mixed bag.” But according to Michelle Brown, who coached in South Everett LL for more than 10 years and now is doing the same in Everett LL, any negative comments are not coming from players. “I have not heard one thing about it from the kids,” she said. “No one’s saying, ‘Oh, did you play in North Everett?’ Or, ‘Did you play in South Everett?’ That question has not come up at all.

Sounders play Tijuana, get taste of Mexican soccer

M’s catcher looks better at the plate By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

Club Tijuana will play the Seattle Sounders on Tuesday for a match that is part friendly, part trial run. When summer rolls around, the Sounders will enter the CONCACAF Champions League, and they know that clubs from Mexico will stand in the way of their goal of winning the regional tournament. So the club decided there could be value in getting an early taste of the best that Mexico has to offer. “They are such a good team,” Sounders midfielder Gonzalo Pineda said. “A little new in the league, but they built a really good team. They have such good players and they are doing really good right now in the Mexican League. They are a dangerous team for See SOUNDERS, Page C2

We’re calling ourselves Everett Little League ... and the kids are all just excited to be out there and meeting new friends.” Because of declining numbers, the two leagues had overlapped in recent seasons, playing games against each other in the regular season and then forming a combined All-Star team for the postseason. And by formally merging this season, “I think it’s a great opportunity to bring the youth baseball community together,” said District 1 administrator Ed Lundberg. “Yeah, there’ve been some growing pains, but for the most part it’s been pretty positive,” Lundberg said.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Time to check back with Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino regarding his spring goal to revamp his swing in hopes of boosting his overall productivity. His words prior to the start of camp: “I just need to totally commit to going to right-center,” Zunino said. “That’s been my strength for a while, and I keep my bat in the zone for a longer time. “I think it’s just a matter of getting that (swing) path to right-center and stay balanced, that’s going to be key to changing things.” And now: “I’m feeling better at the plate,” he said. “If my path and my direction can stay to the pitch, and (keep my) focus up the middle and trust my hands to hit where

Gonzaga’s Domantas Sabonis dunks during the Zags’ victory over Iowa on Sunday in an NCAA South Regional game at KeyArena in Seattle.

Playing for their reputation Gonzaga is aware it has been called a March underachiever By Adam Kilgore The Washington Post

SEATTLE — Gonzaga faces unfair stakes when it takes the court for games like Sunday evening’s at KeyArena, an extra burden the other teams in the field will never know. By this point, nothing the Bulldogs do within the West Coast Conference will matter to the rest of the country, and they know it. “They pretty much think we’re going out there and not even playing, just coming up with a W,” senior guard Gary Bell Jr. said. The NCAA tournament is an annual referendum for a lot of programs, but none more intensely than Gonzaga. The Bulldogs were playing Iowa here Sunday, but really they were playing for their reputation. “It’s a barometer because of the conference we play in,” Gonzaga assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said. “People want to see what you do in these moments. Sweet 16s, Elite Eights, Final Fours, they’re concrete evidence of success. There’s nothing abstract about it. People on a national stage, they want to see it. It helps cement or reaffirm the standing of our program.” If you thought it might be a fraud before Sunday night, what do you think about Gonzaga now? What else could it do to convert the non-believers? They deconstructed Iowa in their 87-68 romp to the Sweet 16, bullying, shooting and dominating their way to the program’s first appearance in the second weekend since 2009. “Now, we finally got these two wins,” Bell said. “It kind of shuts up the critics.” And, to be clear, Gonzaga coach Mark Few heard them. In victory, he bristled at the notion

that Gonzaga had been labeled a March underachiever. It is easy to point out where the Zags have fallen short. Since advancing to three straight Sweet 16s from 1999 to 2001, Gonzaga had made just two Sweet 16s and zero Elite Eights in the past 13 seasons. They lost twice as a 1 seed before the Elite Eight, including an exit in the round of 32. But step back, the coach would advise, and consider the bar Gonzaga has been asked to clear. They have made the tournament in 17 consecutive seasons. They have now won a tournament game in seven straight years. Is that the resume of a pretender? “It’s just interesting to see the corner or whatever that we’re being painted into,” Few said. “I mean, I don’t know who is being held to that standard.” In a way, Gonzaga doomed itself with success. In the past 16 seasons, Gonzaga ascended from a small-conference curiosity to a nationally known commodity. As the country watched for the Bulldogs to take the next step, they plateaued instead. They emerged as a program to be reckoned with, but not a powerhouse. They may reach that tier this season, with a group of players who cannot remember a March without Gonzaga in the brackets. Gonzaga’s tournament history is mostly painful: Blake Stepp fell short against Arizona and Adam Morrison cried and Robert Sacre got hurt and Kelly Olynyk bowed out early. But they have a team now good enough, and confident enough, to reverse it. “Gonzaga is a different animal than it used to be,” Lloyd said. “They didn’t know Gonzaga as a Cinderella. These guys know Gonzaga as being a great program. They’re not coming to be part of Cinderella. They feel like

they belong.” Their trouncing of Iowa swung the door wide for their first trip a regional final since they first crashed into March back 16 years ago — and maybe their first ever Final Four. On Friday in Houston, the Bulldogs will meet 11th-seeded UCLA, a team they beat in Pauley Pavilion by 13 points in December. If they survive the Bruins, their next opponent would likely be Duke. Maybe they would beat Duke, maybe not. But we know for certain their powerful offense will score on Duke’s suspect defense. The path is there for Gonzaga. So is the talent. Domantas Sabonis and Przemek Karnowski — one the son of an international legend, the other a 7-foot-1 Polish monster — give Gonzaga towering, skilled size. Experienced point guard Kevin Pangos flits around screens and zips pocket passes and drills open three-pointers. Bell Jr. drives into the paint whenever he damn well pleases. Kyle Wiltjer, a Kentucky transfer, can score any way you want him to and, even at 6-foot-10, spaces the floor to make room for the rest of Gonzaga’s offensive firepower. Sunday, he made 10 of 12 shots, including 4 of 6 threes, for 24 points. “We’re a big, physical team and we can beat you in a lot of different ways,” senior guard Kyle Dranginis said. “We’ve been doing that all year. People kind of brushed us off a little bit. We definitely use that as some motivation and determination.” They made believers out of the Hawkeyes. Iowa planned to use its mighty front court against Gonzaga, but the Hawkeyes discovered the folly in that. They had played Wisconsin, a team few question as elite, twice in late January. Playing Gonzaga

reminded Iowa players of trying to counter Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker and the rest of the Wisconsin oaks. “You really can’t compare them to anybody,” Iowa guard Anthony Clemmens said. “If so, you can compare them to Wisconsin, because they have so many weapons. They’re big, athletic and they all can shoot. When you got that, you’re tough to beat. I think they’re an even matchup. They have size. Wisconsin has size. They have knock-down shooters, good guard play. It’s an even matchup.” Said Iowa forward Gabriel Olaseni: “I feel like they compare very well. They have talented big guys like Wisconsin. They just do a great job of establishing post position. Just like Wisconsin, you have to adjust. They brought multiple big guys, and so does Wisconsin. It’s two very good teams.” For now, the Bulldogs care only about how they compare to UCLA. Bell said their previous victory over the Bruins would “definitely” give Gonzaga confidence Thursday night in Houston. But then, they do not lack for confidence, regardless. “We don’t take a backseat to anybody,” Bell said. “We haven’t proved anything yet,” Karnowski said. “It’s good to go to the Sweet 16. It’s awesome. You cannot celebrate that for a long time.” Gonzaga took apart a Big Ten power Sunday night, but already they knew little would change the next time they walked onto the court. They are prohibitive favorites against UCLA — just think about that, Gonzaga is the one in that pairing with more to lose from a reputation standpoint. That is how it works for Gonzaga, the program for which March means judgment.

championship series. Game 1 is scheduled for March 30, with Game 2 on April 1 and Game 3, if necessary, on April 3. Flora hit 9-of-18 shots, including 4-of-8 3-point attempts for Seattle. Umipig made 5-of-20 shots, including 4-of-12 3-point shots in the game, played before a sellout crowd of 999 at the

appearances with the national team. If there is style of play that the other Sounders must learn, Pineda probably already knows it. “This coach — Daniel Guzman — he wants to play more tactic type of game, building from the back sometimes,” Pineda said. “But also they know how to play on turf because their stadium has some turf ... so that’s not an advantage in this game. I think we have to be smart and we have to be careful with their forwards because they are so fast. I think they will try to put pressure on us

from the first minute.” Both teams are expected to use lineups mixing regular starters and reserves. Both are juggling league play: Tijuana played Saturday, while the Sounders travel to Dallas this weekend. Some key players also are away on international duty, including Sounders forward Clint Dempsey and midfielder Marco Pappa. Sounders such as midfielder Osvaldo Alonso and defenders Tyrone Mears and Chad Marshall are in various phases of recovery from injury and could be rested or eased back into action.

“It’s going to be a good test for us,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “We get a chance to see again how a team from that part of the world plays, in terms of Mexican teams and even Central American teams are a little different, so it’s a good thing to put in the back of our heads as we approach Champions League in August. It’s also a good thing because we need to test some guys under the first of that type of competition so we’ll know who can step up because you’ve got to start rotating your team when you’re playing games in Champions League and MLS.”

As a freshman in 2014, Ha finished tied for 27th at the Class 4A boys state tournament to complete a year of great change. After emigrating from the Republic of Korea to the United States with his family before the school year, Ha had to get acclimated to life in America as well as high school golf. Jackson coach Jim Anderson said Ha did both very well, and should improve as a sophomore. “His mental strength is really special,” Anderson said. “If he hits a bad shot, he doesn’t let it destroy his round. His preparation and focus are unbelievable.” Anderson added that Ha routinely puts in additional time by himself after practice at Mill Creek Country Club to hone his game. “I always tell the boys that to really be good, you have to make a commitment,” Anderson said. “Arnold puts the time in.”

Kuna said the pressure of playing in the last group with the tournament leaders got to him a bit on Day 2, and he made a few mistakes that resulted in a 79. He finished the event tied for 10th. “I thought of myself as a state competitor, but after the state tournament last year, I realized that I could play with the best players in 4A,” Kuna said.

Kuna, who learned to play from his mother, Lori, an avid recreational golfer when she and Luke’s father lived in North Carolina before Luke was born, has a solid all-around game and an uncomplicated swing that rarely gets out of whack. “Not a lot of things go wrong with his swing. It’s simple and powerful,” Snohomish boys coach Joe Mutcheson said. “It’s an easily repeatable motion.” Kuna spent the offseason playing in Washington Junior Golf Association and American Junior Golf Association events against other top prep golfers from around the state, but also played in the Snohomish County Amateur Championship and Bremerton City Amateur

against older competitors. “I got great experience, and advice also,” Kuna said. Kuna also worked in the weight room to maintain his length off the tee, and Mutcheson said his team constantly works on putting and chipping. “He’s always working on improving his short game, and that can make the difference between scores in the postseason,” Mutcheson said. This year’s Class 4A boys state tournament will be played at The Creek at Qualchan in Spokane, so rain is unlikely to be in the forecast on May 27-28. But Kuna is poised to stay near the top of the leaderboard this time around.

“He has all the shots that are needed for golf,” Knowles said. “He can get out of trouble anywhere, he can hit a long drive and he can hit a big putt. He has a really good repertoire.”

frame to generate speed on the club head through the ball, Kwak is longer off the tee than most and is learning to harness her emotions. “She’s a bright girl and a smart player who knows how and where to play the ball, but I wanted her to work on learning to relax,” Knights coach Bud Davis said. “She finished 21st at state as a freshman and set expectations of finishing in the top five last year, but her emotions got in the way of that.” Kwak finished tied for 27th as a sophomore, but played in Washington Junior Golf Association and American Junior Golf Association events in the offseason to sharpen her skills against top competition. She’ll front a talented Kamiak lineup that features freshman Rachel Ponting and returning state placers Hannah Lee and Olivia Kim.

“Megan gets a lot of rounds of golf in over the summer and that work ends up paying off,” Glacier Peak coach Kelven May said. “She’s always been pretty consistent, but she’s been working on getting more distance on her drives to put her in better position to score. She’s the most consistent scorer we have, but it’s just about getting those bogeys down to pars.”

Ben Thacker Sr. | Arch. Murphy Thacker will lead the way for a Wildcat boys team that has designs on a Class 2A state championship this season, a squad that coach Jack Serwold calls the best the program has ever produced. Thacker finished tied for ninth at state last season, shooting under 80 in both rounds. Serwold raves about Thacker’s work ethic and self-confidence. “He’s a marvelous young man that is also our student body president,” Serwold said. “He works hard in everything he does, and our whole team looks up to him. He’s our leader and our team captain.” Serwold said Thacker is an all-around player. “Ben is good with every club in his bag,” Serwold said. “He’s a great putter and chipper and has great confidence in himself. He’s just a really good player.”

Renee Kwak Jr. | Kamiak At her best, the Kamiak junior looks like the very picture of a golfer off the tee. Using her long and lean 5-foot-9

Megan Christie Sr. | Glacier Peak Christie achieved her 2014 season goal of shooting a tournament round in the 80s in the first match of the Grizzlies’ season, and finished the campaign with a top-20 placing at the Class 3A girls state tournament. After a summer honing her game on her own at Snohomish Golf Course and Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett, Christie is looking to break into the 70s with regularity as a senior.

Hannah Roh Jr. | King’s Roh helped lead the King’s girls to the Class 1A state team title as a sophomore last season, along with Charis Tsai, who was then a junior. Roh, who started playing golf just four or five years ago, according to King’s coach Simonette Sancho, has made up for lost time in a big way. “Her biggest talent is her determination,” Sancho said. “She’s decided that she really enjoys golf and plays year-round. She gets a lot of joy in seeing how she can keep improving in competition.” Roh placed fourth as an individual at state last spring, and given her consistency, is a good bet to at least equal that performance as a junior. “Hannah is really solid mentally,” Sancho said. “She focuses a lot on her game and is always at the golf course working on her game.”

Jackson softball edges Lynnwood Herald Staff BOTHELL — A twoout, three-run home run made the final inning a bit more exciting than the Jackson softball team might have preferred. But in the end, star pitcher Sophie Frost got the Timberwolves out of their game Monday with a win, as Jackson held on to defeat Lynnwood 7-5 in a non-conference game at Lynnwood High School. Trailing 7-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lynnwood’s first three runners hit singles, the last of the three driving in a run for the Royals. After a flyout got Jackson one out away from a win, Lynnwood’s Dasia Lester — the Royals’ pitcher — belted a three-run home run to get Lynnwood to within two. Frost shook off the homer and struck out the last batter of the game to clinch the win. “It was weird. Sophie had 14 strikeouts and had them shut out through five innings and through the fifth inning they only had one hit,” said Jackson head coach Kyle Peacocke. “The last two innings (Lynnwood’s bats) kind of woke up. When Dasia hit the home run it got a little interesting. But Sophie was able to bear down and strike out the last battter to end the game.” Kayla Ellis, one of two Jackson seniors, led the Timberwolves’ offense batting 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI. Taylor Adams (2-for-3) added a triple for Jackson (2-1 overall). “(Ellis) was huge,” Peacocke said. “Her first double put us on the board and she hit a tworun home run to give us a 6-0 lead and at that point in time she was our big offensive hero. She had a great day at the plate. I expect her to have a great year. She’s a real leader.” The game pitted two former league rivals

against each other. Lynnwood (0-1), which moved to the 3A classification after the 2013-14 school year, and Jackson played two close battles last season as Wesco 4A South rivals. Peacocke wanted to keep the rivalry going and schedule strong competition for the Timberwolves’ non-league schedule. “We tried to put together a good nonleague schedule for ourselves,” Peacocke said. “We just played Inglemoor and Woodinville. Lynnwood — we had some battles with last year and we still wanted to play them. They did lose some weapons but their pitcher is a sophomore and she’s going to have a good season for them. We wanted to play competitive games and tough teams and get ready for when the league starts.” The Jackson coach said his team still has a bit to work on before it begins Wesco 4A play against Cascade on March 30. Peacocke said he’s still moving players around and trying to get kids playing time in the week leading up to the league opener. “It’s weird the way the 4A is set up this year,” Peacocke said. “We have six non-league games and we’re really trying to play a lot of kids and we’re moving kids around defensively and just trying to play them and give them at bats. We’re playing well, but I expect us to continue to get better throughout the season.”

BASEBALL Snohomish 7, Arlington 2 ARLINGTON — Snohomish starting pitcher Ben Dmochowsky earned his first win of the season on the mound, and helped himself out with three RBI, as the Panthers defeated Arlington in the non-conference game. Brad Morgan and Ryan Sandifer each had two RBI apiece for Snohomish and Jared Bailey (3-for-3) led Arlington with two RBI.

When Cano rests, who plays second?

Seattle vs. San Diego Time: 1:05 p.m. TV: None Radio: 710 ESPN (7:05 p.m., delayed)

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

TEMPE, Ariz. — Say the Seattle Mariners want to rest Robinson Cano or give him a partial day off by having him serve as the designated hitter. Who plays second base? Utilityman Willie Bloomquist or long-time second baseman Rickie Weeks. “That’s a good question,” manager Lloyd McClendon parried. “I have that option. I don’t have the answer. I could use either one. Obviously, it would depend on who’s pitching and how they match up against that guy.” Weeks hasn’t played second base this spring but spent his 12 previous professional seasons playing no other position. McClendon said he’d have no hesitation in putting him back at second. “It’s like riding a bike,” McClendon said. “You get back on and pedal.” Bloomquist has made three

Mariners summoned infielder Tyler Smith from minor-league camp to make his second start in four days. Smith started Monday at second base against the Angels in Tempe; he started at shortstop last Friday against the Rangers in Surprise. Smith spent most of last season at Hi-A High Desert. Wondering why Smith got the call over Ketel Marte, a top prospect who is expected to start this season at Triple-A Tacoma? (Marte was optioned to Tacoma prior to last Friday’s game.) Simple: Marte is on the 40-man roster. If he gets hurt, he goes on the major-league disabled list and draws a major-league salary while also accumulating service time. Smith isn’t on the roster. He would be placed on the minorleague DL while drawing a minor-league salary. That is also why players such as Jack Reinheimer and Leury Bonilla gained recent callups.

Seahawks get 4 compensatory picks in draft Associated Press PHOENIX — NFC champion Seattle, Denver and Kansas City each were awarded four compensatory picks in this year’s draft. The NFL handed out 32 such picks to 14 teams on Monday. They begin at the conclusion of the third round when Super Bowl winner New England gets the 97th overall choice. The Seahawks picked up a fourth-round pick (134th overall), a fifth-round (170) and two sixth-round picks (209, 214). A team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory picks. The draft will be held April 30-May 2 in Chicago. Kansas City and Cincinnati also received third-rounders, Nos. 98 and 99, respectively. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL’s management council.

Medical check NFL owners are considering a proposal to stop games when a medical adviser sees a player displaying obvious signs of disorientation. The suggestion was a late addition by the powerful competition

committee at the owners’ meetings that began Monday. It would allow a medical spotter upstairs to communicate with the officiating crew when a player appears unstable. The game would be halted to remove the player, who then would undergo sideline examination at the very least. That is one of two dozen proposals and rules changes being considered by the owners in a busy agenda. Other suggested changes include using instant replay for reviewing all penalties called by game officials, yes, pass interference and holding calls, too; all personal fouls; penalties against defenseless players; any foul that results in an automatic first down; and clock issues. New England even proposed that everything except scoring plays or turnovers be challengeable, and Washington suggested increasing a coach’s number of challenges from two to three, regardless of whether he is successful on an early challenge. Owners will vote on some of the proposals in the next two days, with several likely being tabled until the next major meetings in May.

Replay for penalties Rams coach Jeff Fisher explained why the competition committee does not endorse using replay for penalties. “The committee’s position for years has been to oppose involving fouls in replay for a lot of different reasons,” he said. “We’ve looked at a lot of tape this offseason, we looked at the fouls particularly relating to hits on defenseless players. We had 27 of them this year, we looked at

them as a group. We could not agree on a number of them. “That’s just the nature of the standard in replay.” Fisher added that the league’s officiating department will review fouls on a Monday and can take “20-30 minutes, maybe an hour, to determine whether it was in fact a foul. So you can see the issues that we’re going to have if we involve those things in replay.”

Catch-no catch One alteration not coming is to change the catch-no catch parameters. That has been a particularly hot topic since the NFC playoff game in which Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant had a catch near the Green Bay goal line late in the fourth quarter reversed to an incompletion. Vice president of officiating Dean Blandino explained that the language within the rule is being tweaked for clarification. But the process required for a catch is not being changed. “For years the requirements for a catch — the way it was communicated in the rule book — is control, both feet (in bounds) and then, after that, the receiver had to have the ball long enough to perform an act common to the game,” Blandino said. “That was defined as being able to pitch it, pass it, clearly advance the ball as a runner.” That created confusion, which Blandino believes will be eliminated by changing the wording. “So in order to complete a catch, the receiver has to have control, both feet on the ground and he has to have it after that long enough to

clearly establish himself as a runner,” he said.

Blackouts eliminated The league eliminated local TV blackouts of games for next season. There were no blackouts last season, because the minimum number of tickets, by NFL sellout standards, was sold for every game, and the league had only two blackouts in 2013. Still, the experiment is a huge step for the NFL, whose blackout policy dates back decades. Some teams — Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego — have struggled to avoid blackouts, and the league is taking a bit of a gamble for 2015.

London streaming The Oct. 25 game in London between Buffalo and Jacksonville will be streamed live internationally. The experiment, which will start at 6:30 a.m. PT, means the game won’t be shown on television outside of the local teams’ markets.

Pro Bowl in Brazil Foreign sites are being considered for the Pro Bowl. Next year’s game will be played in Honolulu. Beyond that, just about anywhere seems to be in play, including Brazil. “For 2017 and beyond, we are studying the future of the Pro Bowl. “Brazil, an area with a growing number of NFL fans, as a possible host is one of the ideas that seems to hold a lot of appeal for additional analysis,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora said.

The facts

Matt Shoemaker limited the Mariners to two hits in six shutout innings Monday as the Los Angeles Angels scored four times in the second inning and rolled to an easy victory. Erasmo Ramirez failed to last two innings after drawing the start when the Mariners opted to keep Hisashi Iwakuma in Peoria for a minor-league game — Iwakuma is likely to face LA in the season’s first series. Ramirez pitched a one-two-three first inning but yielded four runs and four hits while getting just two outs before exiting in the second. Two runs were unearned.

Play of the game

Mike Zunino ripped a one-out double past third base in the fifth inning after Shoemaker retired the first 13 Mariners. Zunino went to third when Logan Morrison followed with a single. Those were the Mariners’ only hits.

Plus

Third baseman Kyle Seager moved to his left on Albert Pujols’ sharp grounder in the fifth inning and turned it in a double play. ... right-hander Jordan Pries turned in another strong outing by pitching three innings of scoreless relief. Almost certainly headed for the Triple-A Tacoma rotation, Pries has limited opponents to two runs and six hits in 11 innings over four outings.

Minus

Start with being a combined 2-for28 at the plate. ... Willie Bloomquist played shortstop this spring for the first time and committed a fielding error on his first chance — Matt Joyce’s leadoff grounder in the second. The Angels went on to score four runs in the inning. ... Ramirez couldn’t pull it back together after Bloomquist’s error. The next three batters got base-hits.

Job battles

Sharper admits drugging, rape counts in two states Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Former NFL star Darren Sharper removed all doubt Monday that he drugged and raped women, taking the first of several steps to own up to sex assaults in four states that will send him to federal prison for about nine years. In two separate court cases, Sharper pleaded guilty to sexual assault in Arizona and no contest in California to raping two women he knocked out with a potent sedative mixed with booze. Sharper, 39, wearing a striped,

the ball is pitched, I think that’s going to be the key.” Early returns are encouraging. Zunino is batting .345 through 11 games, at 10-for-29, with three homers and seven RBI. (Yes, it’s a small sample size, and everyone acknowledges these are spring numbers — so hold the screeching — but his approach simply looks better.) “Obviously, in the big scheme of things,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “spring doesn’t count. But it’s nice to have those positive results. It kind of solidifies his conviction into what he’s trying to do. It helps. “Positive results breed confidence.” Zunino’s power is not an issue.

light blue suit, said it was in his best interest to enter the pleas. The pleas came as Los Angeles prosecutors were prepared to present evidence of Sharper’s fall from grace as a former all-pro safety who won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints. His clean-cut reputation took a hit when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused. By not contesting the California charges, he admitted he raped two

women he drugged after meeting them at Bootsy Bellows, a West Hollywood bar. The pleas have the same effect as a conviction. Under the unusual deal negotiated by Sharper’s lawyers and state and federal prosecutors, Sharper will serve sentences concurrently in federal prison, though the full term has not yet been announced. He was sentenced to nine years in the Arizona case and will face 20 years in the California case when sentenced July 15. However, because the crimes in California only require serving

half the term and he gets credit for 13 months spent in jail, he’ll serve about nine more years, lawyers said. The sentence is no slap on the wrist, but it spares Sharper a potentially longer term if sentences involving at least nine alleged victims were added together. Hearings will follow in Las Vegas on Tuesday and in New Orleans in the next month. In each state, he’s accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women when they were unconscious or otherwise unable to resist or consent.

He set a club record for catchers last season by hitting 22 homers. He also had 20 doubles, which left him with a solid .404 slugging percentage. “The one thing we’ve tried to stress to him,” McClendon said, “is when you can stretch the field from foul line to foul line, you become a better and more dangerous hitter.” It’s impossible not to look at Zunino’s power numbers and wonder how they might jump if he hikes his .254 on-base percentage into an acceptable range. His OBP a year ago was the second-lowest in the majors among players with at least 450 plate appearances. Just getting it to .300 — still below the majorleague average of .314 — could do wonders. “Without a doubt,” McClendon said. “If we can cut down

those strikeouts, then his onbase percentage is going to go up. His walks are going to go up. He’s going to be a more all-round player for us. A more productive player. “ About those strikeouts. Zunino led the Mariners a year ago with 158 whiffs. That, too, has been a point-of-emphasis this spring, and he shows encouraging signs: Much of his success has come in two-strike counts. “I think I’m night-and-day better (with two strikes),” he said. “I know what I want to accomplish with two strikes. I have the base, and I can trust myself now instead of just going up there and hoping to get a pitch to hit. “I sort of know what I want to do with two strikes. I’ve had two strikes a little more than I wanted to (have) this spring. I feel like it’s all of the time. But I guess this is

the time to work on it.” McClendon contends he overworked Zunino a year ago, which Zunino tacitly acknowledges by saying he believes fatigue contributed to some poor hitting habits. “When you don’t feel 100 percent,” he said, “when you start to feel a little fatigued, you try to generate too much — and that was pulling me off my swing.” That fatigue prompted Zunino to structure his off-season conditioning regimen to increase durability. That should help, since McClendon is promising a similar workload of roughly 130 games. “But I’d like to spread it out a little bit more,” McClendon said. “There were times (last season) when he was night-daying. That’s kind of tough, but we didn’t have a choice. We have that choice now.”

Lefty Charlie Furbush isn’t really fighting for a job, but he’s got four scoreless outings in his last five appearances. He worked around a leadoff single in the seventh by retiring the next three hitters. He struck out the last two batters.

Quotable

“(Pries) did a nice job,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He threw strikes. He was in and out. Held runners nice. I said three weeks ago I was impressed with him, and he hasn’t disappointed. “He continues to show me a lot of poise, the ability to throw strikes and get after it pretty good.”

Extra innings

Iwakuma gave up two runs and six hits in five innings for Triple-A Tacoma against Round Rock (Rangers). He walked one and struck out eight while throwing 44 of 72 pitches for strikes. Jesus Montero hit a two-run homer for the Rainiers.

Up next

The Mariners return home, sort of, on Tuesday when they are the visiting club at Peoria Stadium for a 1:05 p.m. game against complex co-tenant San Diego. Lefty J.A. Happ is scheduled to start against Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner. Bob Dutton, The News Tribune

Louisville Slugger brand sold Associated Press Hillerich & Bradsby Co., the company that made bats for a who's who of baseball greats, including Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, announced a deal Monday to sell its Louisville Slugger brand to rival Wilson Sporting Goods Co. for $70 million.

As Harns explained, last season’s majors players were allowed to return to their teams for this season, but new majors players could be drafted to teams anywhere in the city. But for younger players in t-ball and the minors, the league has tried to keep them on teams closer to their homes.

Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania to request it reinstate first baseman Joey Casselberry. He called her a crude name while criticizing the Disney Channel for making a movie about her. Davis says “everyone makes mistakes” and adds: “It hurt on my part, but I know he’s hurt even more.

If it was me, I would want to take that back. ... Why not give him a second chance?” Bloomsburg University says it “stands firm” on the decision while appreciating her “level of maturity.” At 13, Davis was the first girl to earn a win and pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series last summer.

It was, Harns admitted, “quite an ordeal to get (the merger) done. You walk a fine line between trying to be competitive as well as being a recreational league (for average players), and you have to try to keep everybody happy. “But I think it’s going to be a good thing for the kids and it gives us a stronger foundation for the league as a whole. And even though I’d expect there will be some growing pains this year, I think it’ll be better

in general for the entire league.” Brown agrees. With two onetime rival leagues, she said, “there’s a lot of history there and an identity issue there, and people didn’t want to lose that. But as we’ve come together ... we’ve all really wanted to make it work. “Our numbers had been falling,” she said, “but now we’re seeing the younger ages starting to build again and we’re all excited about that.”
