Monroe School District sued An autistic boy’s mother says her son was disciplined prematurely and the punishments were overly severe.

MONROE — The mother of an autistic boy is suing the Monroe

filed the lawsuit Dec. 23 in U.S. District Court in Seattle. She claims the district failed to follow personalized plans to educate her son, handle his behavior and appropriately discipline him, when necessary.

In court filings, the district has contended that the woman’s

complaints are “legally and factually insufficient.” But last week U.S. District Judge John Coughenour denied the district’s request to dismiss the case. A jury trial is scheduled for March 14, 2016.

Donald Austin, an attorney for the district, said the mother’s complaints are inaccurate.

Road built on peat is sinking Lynnwood and the county are mulling options to fix the intersection of Ash Way and Maple Road, which is dropping about an inch a year.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

A photo-reconnaissance model wasn’t retired from active Navy service until 1987.

In all, Vought built 1,261 Crusaders, including 42 that served until 2000 with the French Navy.

The airplane’s powerful engine and sleek design helped it set speed records. It was the first plane to cross the continental U.S. faster than the speed of

LYNNWOOD — If the roadway seems like it’s sinking, it’s not your imagination.

The intersection of Ash Way and Maple Road in Lynnwood has settled more than 19 inches since that portion of Maple Road was built in 1983. It now is sinking an average of about an inch a year, records show.

The city of Lynnwood and Snohomish County are talking about working together on potential fixes — and the varying price tags that accompany each proposal.

The county’s involved because it owns Maple Road east of Highway 525.

The roadway is built on top of roughly 37 feet of peat, according to a City Council memo. It frequently floods after significant rainfall.

As little as an inch of rain can prompt partial road closures, said Jared Bond, the city’s environmental and surface water supervisor.

“Anytime we get above two inches, there’s a high likelihood we have to close the whole roadway, and that’s two inches in 24 hours,” he said.

EVERETT — Pete Batcheller came to see “the mother,” the sleek fighter jet that he flew in combat over Vietnam.

The airplane was unveiled Wednesday at the Museum of Flight Restoration Center at Paine Field, about 20 years after volunteers started returning the aircraft to its original condition.

The date for the unveiling was quite deliberate. Wednesday marked the 60th anniversary since the first flight of the Vought XF8U-1.

The museum restored the plane to the paint scheme it had on that 52-minute flight, when test pilot John Konrad pushed it through the sound barrier, said Tom Cathcart, who oversees the museum’s restoration work and the aircraft collection.

Adding the Crusader to the Museum of Flight’s collection “adds to the story of the transition from the propeller age to the jet age,” he said. The plane is to be displayed in the museum’s gallery at Boeing Field in Seattle.

Associated Press CHICAGO — Oprah Winfrey will sell paintings, furniture, designer clothing and other items from her Chicago residence at auction next month.

The auction items include exercise equipment, fountain pens, sunglasses and watches, as well as crystal, silver and porcelain.

SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France — The first half of Germanwings Flight 9525 was chilling in its normalcy.

It took off from Barcelona en route to Duesseldorf, climbing up over the Mediterranean and turning over France. The last communication was a routine request to continue on its route.

Minutes later, at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Airbus A320 inexplicably began to descend. Within 10 minutes it had plunged from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet to just over 6,000 feet and slammed into a remote mountainside.

To find out why, investigators have been analyzing the mangled black box that contains an audio recording from the cockpit. Remi Jouty, the head of France’s accident investigation bureau BEA, said Wednesday that it has yielded sounds and voices, but so far not the “slightest explanation” of why the plane crashed, killing all 150 on board.

A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information to say the least: One of the pilots is heard leaving the cockpit, then banging on the door with increasing urgency in an unsuccessful attempt to get back in.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” The New York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying.

LAURENT CIPRIANI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rescuers work on debris at the plane crash site near Seyne-les-Alpes, France, on Wednesday.

“And then he hits the door stronger and no answer.

There is never an answer.”

Eventually, the newspaper quotes the investigator as saying: “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”

The investigator, whom the newspaper said could not be identified because the investigation is continuing, said officials don’t know why the pilot left. He also does not speculate on why the other pilot didn’t open the door or make contact with ground control before the crash.

Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, airlines in the U.S. don’t leave one pilot alone in the cockpit. The standard operating procedure is that if one of the pilots leaves — for example to use the bathroom

— a flight attendant takes their spot in the cockpit. It was not immediately clear if European airlines have adopted the same practice.

The names of the pilots have not been released.

French officials gave no details from the recording Wednesday, insisting the cause of the crash remained a mystery. They said the descent was gradual enough to suggest the plane was under the control of its navigators.

“At this point, there is no explanation,” Jouty said.

“One doesn’t imagine that the pilot consciously sends his plane into a mountain.”

Jouty said “sounds and voices” were registered on the digital audio file recovered from the first black box. But he did not divulge the contents, insisting days

or weeks will be needed to decipher them.

Confusion surrounded the fate of the second black box. French President Francois Hollande said the casing of the flight data recorder had been found in the scattered debris, but was missing the memory card that captures 25 hours’ worth of information on the position and condition of almost every major part in a plane. Jouty refused to confirm the discovery.

French officials said terrorism appeared unlikely and Germany’s top security official said there was no evidence of foul play.

As authorities struggled to unravel the puzzle, Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy converged on the

DENVER — Edible marijuana sold in Colorado must look different from regular foods, lawmakers from both parties said Wednesday in rejecting a bill to loosen requirements.

The 0-5 vote was a dramatic loss for the state’s new

marijuana industry, where many producers of edible pot complain that a requirement that their products not look like other foods and drinks goes too far.

The rejection means that marijuana-infused cookies, candies and drinks must have a distinct look by 2016 — and that’s for the item

itself, not just the packaging.

The bill sponsor called the requirement for all foods an example of “micromanagement” because it can’t be easily applied to all foods.

For instance, it might be easy to require that all brownies with pot in them be shaped like a marijuana leaf — but how do you tell if tomato sauce is infused with the drug?

“How we distinguish liquids versus granolas versus candies versus cookies

versus brownies?” asked Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs.

Hill’s bill would have repealed the requirement — an action that would effectively punt the question back to state regulators, who already told lawmakers earlier this year that they’re not sure how to carry out the requirement.

But the suggestion prompted a feisty opposition from health advocates, parents and even a group

of kids on spring break. The teens told lawmakers about classmates handing out pot candies at swim meets and math classes, with adults in the room unaware the kids were eating pot.

Even the kids don’t always know what they’re eating until they feel high, said Alexander Lattin, a 17-year-old junior at Arapahoe High School.

“It’s a problem,” he said.

“I see candy, I’m going to eat it.”

Stanwood firm linked to tainted spinach The Wild Harvest brand of the frozen vegetable is now part of a national recall because of the threat of listeria.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

STANWOOD — A national recall of frozen spinach packaged at Twin City Foods here now involves a brand sold in Washington — Wild Harvest.

The recall, announced by the

federal Food and Drug Administration, said Wild Harvest and three other brands of frozen spinach could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.

The food-borne bacterium can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly and people with

weakened immune systems.

Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, nausea and diarrhea.

There have been no reports of anyone in Washington becoming ill from eating the spinach, according to Donn Moyer, a spokesman for the state Department of Health.

Packages of Wild Harvest frozen spinach affected by the recall have a product code of

11535 50170, a sell-by date of Dec. 8, 2016, and a package code of L084WE. The other three brands of frozen spinach involved in the recall — Cadia Organic Cut Spinach, Meijer Organics Chopped Spinach and Wegmans Organic Just Picked Spinach — are not stocked in Washington warehouses, according to the federal agency.

Once Twin Foods was alerted to the problem by its supplier,

“we immediately put out notification to all the customers we supplied,” Twin City Foods spokesman Mark Hubbard said.

Twin Cities learned of the problem March 20, he said.

The national recall urges consumers to return the frozen spinach to the store where they bought it. The names of area stores that had stocked the See SPINACH, Page A4

HERALD FILE, OCT. 6

Fifth-grader Kayla Wilder raises her hand for help from technology teacher Deborah Wrobel at Woodside Elementary School. The 34-year-old Woodside Elementary has a capacity of 540 students. As of last fall, 800 students were enrolled.

150 Woodside students to be transferred Overcrowding is forcing Everett Public Schools to send the children to Silver Lake Elementary this fall.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Up to 150 students now attending the overcrowded Woodside Elementary School will attend Silver Lake Elementary in the fall.

It’s not much of a fix because Silver Lake also is above capacity.

“It isn’t a solution, it’s spreading out the pain,” said Mary Waggoner, communications director for Everett Public Schools. “It will continue to be a problem as long as we don’t have more classroom space.”

The Everett School Board approved the redrawing of the district’s school boundaries at its Tuesday meeting.

The affected students live close to the northern edge of Mill Creek in the Heatherwood, Reserve and Hawthorne apartments, Nature’s Landing condominiums and Woodside Walk neighborhood.

The neighborhood is physically closer to Silver Lake, located at 12815 Bothell-Everett Highway, than Woodside, which lies about five miles south at 17000 23rd Ave. SE in Mill Creek.

“Kids are now riding the bus about 30 minutes to get down to Woodside,” Waggoner said.

“Depending on red lights, it’ll now be 12-15 minutes,” she said.

The 34-year-old Woodside Elementary has a capacity of 540 students. As of last fall, 800

students were enrolled, and there are 10 portable classrooms on the campus. It is the largest elementary school by population in the school district.

Silver Lake still is overcrowded, with 528 students in a facility designed for 487. There are four portables on the Silver Lake campus.

The district has ordered 16 new portables for the coming school year, five or six of which will be installed at Silver Lake, Waggoner said.

Board President Pam LeSesne said that she believes the shift in school boundaries is likely to last at least until a new elementary school is built in the south end.

A new school is near the top of a list of projects that a bond would address.

The board is considering putting a new bond before the voters

in early 2015.

In the meantime, LeSesne said, the principals at Woodside and Silver Lake will work to make the transition to a new school smooth for the students and parents.

“If and when we do pass a bond, we’ll build a new elementary school in that region and boundaries will be shifted then,” LeSesne said.

“We realize we’re not solving all of the overcrowding population,” she said. “Each one of the schools in the south end is over capacity.”

The district’s projections show that enrollment will grow steadily from 19,451 today to 21,050 in 2024. Most of that growth will be in the south end of the district.

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council on Wednesday decided to collect more public input as it considers making permanent rules for marijuana businesses.

In discussing the issue, council members are hoping people will limit their comments to certain proposed amendments to the regulations for state-licensed recreational marijuana enterprises in some rural areas.

A public hearing scheduled for 10:30 a.m. April 15 in the Council Chambers.

The county lawmakers are considering requiring various types of permits for marijuana growers and processors, based on the state’s three-tiered system for different sizes of operations.

One permitting scheme under consideration would require a public hearing process and approval by the county hearing examiner.

Another would leave permitting of marijuana businesses up to the county planning department.

The other options are to prohibit all marijuana operations — or allow them without requiring special permits.

The council also is taking public input on several standards it could impose on marijuana businesses, such as rules related to noise, odor and traffic. It is also considering allowing the county planning department or the See POT, Page A4

The council on March 4 extended for six months a moratorium on new marijuana businesses in certain rural areas after hearing hours of testimony from people in the newly legal industry and concerned neighbors.

The council plans to enact permanent rules before that moratorium expires.

There are obvious drawbacks to both men, though.

Though Sonntag won five terms as auditor as a Democrat, his party credentials were revoked when he joined the conservative anti-union Freedom Foundation as a senior fellow. Reed, meanwhile, is a moderate Republican who has been trying to drum up support for a challenger to Inslee in 2016.

If the appointee needs to serve through next year, Inslee is more likely to seek

Boy, 5, killed by car, is identified A 5-year-old Everett boy who died after being struck by a car last week has been identified as Kenneth E. Heagy. His death remains under investigation by the King County Medical Examiner, officials said Wednesday.

Heagy died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Sunday, two days after the accident occurred on Colby Avenue near Everett High School.

EVERETT — The USS Rodney M. Davis, the last frigate stationed at Naval Station Everett and one of the last frigates in the Navy, was towed Wednesday to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton.

The decommissioned warship will eventually be sold to a foreign navy.

The Navy plans to replace aging frigates with smaller, more maneuverable ships called littoral combat ships. No plans have been announced for new ships to be stationed in Everett.

concerns, the council in October enacted two emergency ordinances, one addressing recreational marijuana businesses and the other related to medical-marijuana dispensaries and gardens.

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

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

Trial in Conley’s killing nearing end Lawyers are expected to give closing arguments Thursday in the murder trial of a former Boeing mechanic accused of killing 15-year-old Molly Conley in a drive-by shooting.

Erick Walker, 28, has

denied that he fired the shot that killed Molly on June 1, 2013. He also has said he wasn’t responsible for a string of drive-by shootings between Lake Stevens and Marysville a couple of hours later.

Walker didn’t testify in the nearly three-week trial.

His lawyers argue that there is nothing that ties their client to Molly’s death.

No one can say what kind of gun killed the girl.

Investigators weren’t able to find the bullet that struck the Seattle teen.

Jurors on Tuesday heard that bullets recovered from the drive-by shootings are a match for Walker’s two revolvers.

Walker is charged with first-degree murder and numerous counts of assault and drive-by shooting.

Bryant: Bear, cubs spotted on trail A mother black bear and two cubs were spotted earlier this week on the Centennial Trail about four miles north of here, near

Snohomish County’s border with Skagit County.

The bears were seen crossing the trail Monday near its north end at Nakashima Barn, according to the county parks department.

Officials are advising people in the area to be cautious when using the trail.

If they see a black bear, they should avoid direct eye contact and should not approach the bear.

Standing tall, waving arms and being loud may scare a bear away.

Playing dead should be a last resort if the bear attacks and is not scared off by fighting back aggressively, according to the county.

Though reports of a bear sighting in Lake Stevens have circulated on social media, city and police officials did not know of any bears seen in the area.

The county has not reported a bear sighting on the Lake Stevens stretch of the Centennial Trail.

WHERE THE WORLD GETS ITS WINGS.

At Boeing, we’re proud of our State of Washington heritage and workforce. We build the best airplanes in the world. Today, approximately 80,000 Boeing employees call Washington home, up nearly 30,000 in the last decade including more than 3,700 new hires in 2014. In fact, nearly half of Boeing’s worldwide workforce is based here, making us the state’s largest private employer by a long shot — a commitment reinforced by the billions of dollars we’ve invested here since 2003.

It all adds up to a future of continued opportunity and growth in this very special place.

Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — How long does it take to complete a marathon on Mars?

About 11 years and two months — if you’ve got six wheels and a solarpowered battery.

NASA’s spunky rover Opportunity crossed the Olympic marathon mark Tuesday, putting 26.219 miles on its odometer

during its 3,968th Martian day. (A Martian day, or sol, is about 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than an Earth day.)

While that time wouldn’t come close to breaking land-speed records on Earth, it certainly qualifies anywhere else.

Opportunity’s current location overlooks a Martian gorge that NASA has named Marathon Valley.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS DAN BATES / THE HERALD

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Vought XF8U-1 Crusader, pilots who flew them and restoration volunteers pose Wednesday with the aircraft at the Museum of Flight’s Restoration Center at Paine Field.

worth” of fuel left, he said.

“I was sucking fumes.”

The Museum of Flight has “done a fabulous job restoring” the prototype Crusader, he said.

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum first loaned the plane to the museum in 1987, later donating it in 2004.

Restoration work started in 1996. By then, the plane had suffered significant corrosion, mostly from

weather, Cathcart said.

It took about 5,000 work hours to restore it, he said.

The airplane had a reputation for being hard to fly, but the former F-8 pilots at Wednesday’s event only had praise for its sleek lines, “honest” handling and, of course, its speed.

Renton resident Tom Blackwood has flown dozens of aircraft types, including the F-8, since he joined the Navy in the 1970s. He retired as

a captain and became a commercial airline pilot.

“If I had one to take home, it would be this one,” he said. “And a credit card for the gas and maintenance.”

He flew photo reconnaissance missions in an RF-8, an even faster version armed only with cameras. Over the skies of Vietnam, he and his squadron mates said at the time they were “alone, unarmed and unafraid.”

“The first two were true, but I don’t know about the third one,” he said.

The Crusader’s speed helped him and other pilots get back safely.

“What’s 1,000 miles per hour? It’s about 2.6 seconds, and you do a mile,” Blackwood said.

With the afterburner on, “you’re all by yourself, you’re everything,” he said.

had behavioral problems, according to the lawsuit. Such actions were to be taken as a last resort, according to the boy’s personal education plans, but those measures were employed prematurely and were overly severe, the suit alleges.

The mother also claims the school district failed to accurately document the discipline and did not notify her of problems.

The lawsuit says the school district’s actions violated the boy’s right to equal access to a public education under federal laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Autism is considered a disability.

The school district contends that the boy was restrained because he was “aggressive, disruptive, and assaulted students and staff,” according to the court documents, and that employees followed the law in disciplining the boy.

Along with the district and the Monroe School Board, the list of defendants includes

Superintendent Ken Hoover, Director of Student Services Lara Cole, Salem Woods Elementary School Principal Janna Dmochowsky and special education teachers Melissa Hart and Mairead Kinney. The five board members are Katy Woods, Jason Hutchinson, Nancy Truitt Pierce, Darcy Chessman and Jim Scott.

Brian Krikorian, an attorney for the mother, said the district was locking the boy up and holding him down as punishment for behavior caused by his autism. He likened that to a doctor punishing a patient for kicking after being hit with a reflex hammer.

“The only way he knows how to communicate is to get upset,” Krikorian said.

“That’s just his reaction.”

The holds and seclusions were supposed to be used only to prevent the boy from harming himself or others, Krikorian said — not as punishments.

The alleged problems began in the fall of 2013 when the boy was assigned to a classroom at Chain Lake Elementary School,

and they continued after the boy was moved to Salem Woods Elementary School. That November, he was removed from school.

He has been homeschooled and tutored since.

His mother is seeking damages for physical and emotional injuries as well as punitive damages and wants the district to pay for private schooling and attorney fees.

Before suing, the mother filed a complaint with the state Office of the Superintendent for Public Instruction.

The state superintendent in 2014 ordered corrective action after concluding that the district did not implement the boy’s education plan and that employees failed to document their decisions. The district has complied with the orders, except for having the boy re-evaluated upon his return to school, state officials said. He has not re-enrolled, so the district was unable to comply with that part of the order.

to Lynnwood’s council earlier this month for consideration.

The first is to overlay the existing road with additional pavement, to add elevation. It’s the cheaper option, with the city’s bill running up to $750,000.

The downside is the added

weight from new pavement could increase the sinking to more than an inch a year, meaning another overlay would be required in five or so years.

“The additional weight would just exacerbate the settlement problem,” Bond said.

The second option, with a cost of up to $3.6 million, is to drive “pin-piles” — like the poles that support piers and bridges — 40 feet into the solid ground beneath the peat. Under that option, “roadway settlement would be virtually non-existent,” according to the council memo.

That option was recommended in a technical study done in 2013.

As the road settles, culverts, pipes and other drainage devices are sinking too, Bond said. Any work that’s done will have to account for drainage to ward off worsening any flooding downstream.

Pilot Gary Williams, of Friday Harbor, flew off the USS Hancock from 1967 through 1970. The cockpit fits the pilot like a glove, he said.

sound, known as Mach 1.

“The first time you take off and light that afterburner, you go ‘holy [expletive]’ and hope you don’t screw anything up,” said Batcheller, who lives near Bremerton.

The buttons on his blazer were inscribed with “1000 mph club” and a silhouette of an F-8 from above.

Speed wasn’t the only thing that set the airplane apart. By the 1960s, most U.S. air-to-air combat planes didn’t have guns.

They relied on air-to-air missiles.

But the Crusader bristled with four cannons, earning it the moniker “the last of the gunfighters.”

Batcheller, who retired from the Navy as a commander, flew the plane over Vietnam during three combat tours with Fighter Squadron 24, assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Hancock.

He regularly flew two sorties a day off the wooddecked carrier.

“You met yourself coming and going,” he said of the frequency of missions.

His scariest moment came returning from a sortie. He was over the ocean, halfway between the nearest U.S. air base and his carrier. He met up with a refueling tanker, but, he said, it was “sour” — the fuel transfer system wasn’t working.

Another tanker took off as he burned through the little fuel he had left.

“I couldn’t make Da Nang, and I couldn’t make my carrier,” he said.

When he connected with the second tanker, he had “maybe a minute

On May 29, 1928, Richard L. (“Dick”) Larson survived a d i f f i c u l t d e l i v e r y, w h i c h culminated in being warmed in the oven of the woodb u r n i n g s tove i n p a r e n t s Clarence and Mar y Aileen Larson’s rented farmhouse not far outside Austin, Minn.

A talented student, like his school teacher mother before him, Dick attended o n e ro o m s c h o o l s i n t h e primary grades. At age 15 he moved into town on his own to bellhop at the Fox Hotel. A couple years later he graduated from Austin High School and, af ter service in the Navy, obtained his BS in Electrical Engineering, the first college d e g r e e i n h i s i m m e d i a te family. In 1958, already the father of three boys, Dick landed what was to be his final engineering job with the Boeing Company in Seattle Wash., from which he retired af ter 35 years of ser vice, first with the Bomarc and Minuteman missile programs and ultimately with the 747 airliner program.

Dick and his loving wife Patsy retired to Green Valley, Ariz. in 1995 where they spent many happy ye a r s a s h e p u r s u e d h i s interest in golf, road trips, dancing and just generally having a good time. Faced with failing health in 2013, they returned to Seattle to be near family.

Margaret Jane (Sather) Koepp

January 30, 1929-March 20, 2015

Margaret “Peggy” Jane

(Sather) Koepp was born on January 30, 1929, in Seattle Washington, to Jacob and Sarah (Fureby) Sather. She passed away March 20, 2015, in Kirkland, Wash. at the age of 86.

Mom lived in Ballard with her beloved parents and sisters, Betty, Ruth and Louise until she married our dad, Walter R. Koepp on February 7, 1947, eight days af ter h e r 1 8 t h b i r t h d a y. T h e y t r e a s u r e d e a c h ot h e r fo r over 67 years until Dad’s passing just 4 months ago, on November 21, 2014.

As a child, Mom attended Adams Primar y School in Ballard and played the accordion, an instrument as big as she was. Because of her musical talent, she was chosen to play on the radio.

Mom went on to attend James Monroe Junior High a n d B a l l a rd H i g h S c h o o l where she was proud to be a Ballard Beaver. “Lutefisk, lutefisk, lefsa, lefsa. We’re from Ballard, ya sure, you betcha.”

During her school years, Mom was always accompanied by her best friend, Marg a r et “ M u g g y ” ( L i l i e d a h l ) Wans, with whom she shared many of life’s milestones. Together they obtained their first after-school jobs: wrapping packages for mail order at Sears. They both graduated from Ballard at the age of 16, after having skipped a grade. They were bridesmaids at each other’s weddings, took classes and traveled togethe r. M o m a n d M u g g y r e mained the best of friends all of their lives. Beverly Kristjanson, Helen Lehman, and Betty Bakken were also close friends through the years.

After she graduated from high school, Mom did typing and filing at J.L. Randal Insurance Company. Later, she worked at the post of fice during the busy holiday season.

During the summer of 1946, Mom was enjoying a day on the shore of Martha Lake where her family had a cabin. Although she was not happy she had been given the chore of babysitting her little sister, Louise, it gave Mom the oppor tunity to meet and talk to two boys who came by in a rowboat.

One of those boys was Walt Koepp, our Dad. Mom and Dad were immediately smitten with each other. After a shor t courtship, Dad secured our grandpa’s approval to ask for Mom’s hand in marriage and they were married at the Methodist Church in Ballard.

Mom and Dad lived in Seattle for a short time before purchasing the Martha

Lake cabin from her parents a n d c o nv e r t i n g i t i n t o a home for their growing family. They lived there for more than thirty years. When the children were grown, Mom and Dad built their dream home right next door so they would not have to leave the lake they both loved. They eventually sold the original family home to their grandson and his wife, Matthew and Shanna Koepp.

Throughout her life, Mom was lively and active. She loved swimming in the lake ever y summer with family and friends. Mom also participated in bowling leagues, clubs for sewing and hiking, Norwegian studies, art and computer classes, water and snow skiing, fishing, badminton, neighborhood softball games, ice skating, horseshoes, picking blackberries, camping, river rafting, hunting, snorkeling, and baseb a l l . W h e n eve r s o m e o n e needed batting practice for little league, Mom was the best pitcher in the neighborhood.

Mom was also a great golfer, a sport she became active in after her kids were grown. It was not uncommon for Mom’s golf score to be better than Dad’s. Even though he acted chagrined by this, Dad was proud that Mom was so skilled. Mom and Dad of ten golfed with their good friends Jane and Joe Nishikawa and Ruth and Larry Jones. They also took trips to Hawaii and Arizona to play golf. For many years, Mom was an active member of the Olympic View Women’s Golf Club where she was captain and Ruth Jones was co-captain in 1978 and where she made many close friends. We of ten saw her name in the newspaper for winning tournaments and trophies.

Mom always loved animals and nature. She took special pleasure in her view of Martha Lake: fish, ducks, and eagles, the water, trees and Mount Rainier. Mom of ten had an adored and spoiled pet. When they did not have a pet of their own, Mom and Dad would gladly dog-sit for other family members.

Mom will be remembered most for her undying love of her family, the focus of her life. She took care of all of us: Dad, kids, parents, sisters, people in need. She was strong-willed and seemingly unstoppable; extremely capable at any task she took on; and a very, very fast driver. She loved her V-8 engine cars and was not above racing off the line at a stoplight when challenged.

Those of us left behind, including her loyal dog and constant companion, Archie, will miss Mom every day. We will miss her voice, her hugs, her unflappable beliefs about right and wrong, her potato salad and her lefse. Most of all, we will miss her infinite devotion to all of us.

Mom i s sur v i ved by h er children, Steve (Betsy) Koepp and Teri (Rex) Jennings, both of whom have been devoted to their father and mother through their respective illnesses. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren: Matthew (Shanna) Koepp; Katie (Scott) Schafer; and David Jennings; and great-grandchildren, Joey and Sally Schafer. She is survived by another son, Kerry.

Rest in peace, Mom. We will love you and Dad forever.

Ser vices will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. at Floral Hills Purdy Walters, 409 Filber t Road, Lynnwood, Wash.

Memorials may be made to Doctors without Borders or The Nature Conservancy.

Bergdahl faces life in prison Associated Press FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who abandoned his post in Afghanistan and was held captive for five years by the Taliban, was charged Wednesday by the U.S. military with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and could get life in prison if convicted.

The charges are the latest development in a long and bitter debate over Bergdahl’s case. They also underscore the military and political ramifications of his decision June 30, 2009, to leave his post after expressing misgivings about the U.S. military’s role, as well as his own, in the Afghanistan war.

Bergdahl, 28, was captured by the Taliban and held by members of the Haqqani network, an insurgent group tied to the Taliban that

operates both in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Last May 31, Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special forces in Afghanistan as part of an exchange for five Taliban commanders who were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The exchange set off a debate over whether the U.S. should have released the five Taliban members. Little is known about what the five have been

doing in Qatar, where they are being monitored by the government. Some lawmakers have predicted that the five would return to the battlefield.

Wednesday’s announcement brought further criticism of the exchange from some lawmakers, including U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas and the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security.

“President Obama endangered our national security and broke the law when he chose to negotiate with terrorists and release hardened enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl — who many believed at the time was a deserter,” McCaul said.

The misbehavior charge could land Bergdahl in prison for life, though some legal experts said a lengthy sentence was unlikely. He also could be dishonorably discharged and

forfeit all his pay if convicted on either charge.

Next, an Article 32 hearing — similar to a civilian grand jury proceeding — will be held at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where Bergdahl has been performing administrative duties. A date was not announced. From there, it could be referred to a courtmartial and go to trial.

After a lengthy investigation that included interviewing unit members and commanders and meetings with Bergdahl and his attorney, the case was referred to Gen. Mark Milley, who had a broad range of legal options.

Milley could have decided not to charge Bergdahl at all, recommend administrative action or convene a court-martial on more serious offenses.

Bergdahl also could have faced more serious desertion charges.

the Gulf Cooperation Council, didn’t sign onto the statement.

In a statement from the state news agency, Egypt, too, announced political and military support. “There is coordination ongoing now with Saudi Arabia and the brotherly gulf countries about preparations to participate with an Egyptian air and naval forces and ground troops if necessary,” the statement said.

Arab leaders are expected to meet in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik this weekend for a pre-planned summit, which is now expected to be dominated by the developments in Yemen. It is not clear if Hadi will be able to attend the summit.

Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies believe the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, are tools for Iran to seize control of Yemen and say they intend to stop the takeover. The Houthis deny they are backed by Iran.

The crumbling of Hadi’s government is a blow to Washington’s counterterrorism strategy against al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen, considered to be the most powerful in the terrorist network. Over the weekend, about 100 U.S. military advisers withdrew from the al-Annad air base where they had been leading a drone campaign against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP. Yemen now faces

fragmentation, with Houthis controlling much of the north, including the capital of Sanaa, and several southern provinces. In recent days, they took the third-largest city, Taiz, as well as much of the province of Lahj, both just to the north of Aden.

In fighting in Lahj, they captured Hadi’s defense minister, Maj. Gen. Mahmoud al-Subaihi, and then swept into the nearby al-Annad base, which the U.S. military had left.

The Houthis are backed by former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the autocrat who ruled Yemen for three decades until he was removed amid a 2011 Arab Spring uprising. Some of the best-equipped and trained military and security units remained loyal to Saleh and they have helped the Houthis in their rapid advance.

The atmosphere in Aden was tense, with most schools, government offices, shops and restaurants closed. In the few cafes still open, men watched the news on TV. Looters went through two abandoned army camps, taking weapons and ammunition.

Concern about environment fades Bloomberg News Americans’ concerns over environmental issues including air and water pollution, plant and animal extinction and rainforest loss have crept downward since last year, according to a new poll.

Gallup measured how many Americans care “a great deal” about those issues and found a drop of 5 percentage points to 8 percentage points, the polling organization said Wednesday.

That came after an uptick from 2013 to 2014.

“Last year’s increased worry proved temporary, rather than the start of a trend toward

U.S. airstrikes aid Iraqis in Tikrit WASHINGTON — At Iraq’s request, the U.S. began airstrikes in Tikrit on Wednesday in support of a stalled Iraqi ground offensive to retake the city from Islamic State fighters. The bombing marked an expansion of the U.S. military role in Iraq. “These strikes are intended to destroy ISIL strongholds with precision, thereby saving innocent Iraqi lives while minimizing” unintended damage to civilian structures, Lt. Gen. James Terry, the commander of the U.S.-led campaign to defeat the Islamic State group, said. “This will further enable Iraqi forces under Iraqi command to maneuver and defeat ISIL in the vicinity of Tikrit,” Terry said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.

Funding for quake warning More than 30 members of the U.S. House of Representatives are urging their colleagues to allocate $16.1 million in the next federal budget for an earthquake early-warning system, which could give people as much as a minute’s warning before severe shaking arrives. So far, $6.5 million in federal money has been allocated for the project, including $5 million in new funding President Barack Obama signed into law in December. But the total price tag for establishing a quake early-warning system for Washington, Oregon and California is estimated at $38.3 million to build, with $16.1 million needed annually to operate it.

Alabama redistricting plan

Associated Press SANAA, Yemen — President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi fled Yemen by sea Wednesday as Shiite rebels and their allies moved on his last refuge in the south, captured its airport and put a bounty on his head, officials said. Hours later, Saudi Arabia announced it had begun airstrikes against the Houthi rebels.

The departure of the close U.S. ally and the imminent fall of the southern port of Aden pushed Yemen further toward a violent collapse. It also threatened to turn the impoverished but strategic country into another proxy battle between the Middle East’s Sunni powers and Shiite-led Iran.

Saudi ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir said his country had begun airstrikes against the rebels.

He said his government had consulted closely with the U.S. and other allies but said the U.S. military was not involved in the operations. He declined to say whether the campaing involved U.S. intelligence assistance.

There were indications that others in the region would follow suit: The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain joined Saudi Arabia in a statement published by the Saudi Press Agency, saying they would answer a request from Hadi “to protect Yemen and his dear people from the aggression of the Houthi militias which were and are still a tool in the hands of foreign powers that don’t stop meddling with the security and stability of brotherly Yemen.”

renewed concern about environmental problems,” Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones wrote.

Gallup surveyed 1,025 adults over the phone from March 5-8, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Concern over “global warming or climate change” dropped 2 percentage points over the past year to 32 percent, according to the poll.

One trend that hasn’t changed is declining concern about the environment in the GOP. Between 2000 and 2015, the number of Republicans who said they worried a great deal about drinking water and air pollution dropped 21

percentage points and 28 percentage points, respectively.

Concern about climate change among Republicans dropped 16 percentage points during that time. It rose 4 percentage points among Democrats.

The poll results come as the environmental movement shifts its focus from more immediate concerns like water pollution to long-term risks like climate change. But despite increased media coverage over the past several years, concern for climate change remains nearly identical to the poll’s March 2013 and 2014 results — 32 percent of Americans say they care a great deal about it,

and another 23 percent say they care a fair amount.

At the same time, it’s worth paying attention to what questions a poll is asking. A January 2015 Pew Research poll asked what issues should be a top priority for President Barack Obama in 2015. Thirty-eight percent of Americans said global warming, a rise of 9 percentage points from the previous year. By that measure, concern over climate change is still on the rise.

Pew interviewed 1,504 people over the phone Jan. 7-11.

The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

The Supreme Court sided with black challengers Wednesday and told a lower court to reconsider whether a redistricting plan drawn by Alabama’s Republican legislature packed minority voters into districts in order to dilute their influence. The court voted 5 to 4 to send the plan back for further judicial review. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the opinion, and Justice Anthony Kennedy sided with the court’s liberals to make up the majority. The challenge was brought by black officeholders and Democrats who argued that the state’s Republican leadership packed minority voters into districts that allowed the election of African-American officials but reduced their influence elsewhere.

Ruling on pregnant worker The Supreme Court on Wednesday clarified protections for pregnant workers who believe their employers have discriminated against them and revived the lawsuit of a former United Parcel Service worker who did not receive the accommodation she requested. The court ruled 6 to 3 that Peggy Young, who worked for the company in Landover, Maryland, should get another chance to show that UPS was wrong to force her to take an unpaid leave rather than give her the lighter duty her doctor had said was appropriate.

Money for drones wasted The federal agency that regulates firearms spent about $600,000 on six drones, but never used them because of mechanical and technical problems and eventually disposed of them, according to a new federal report released Wednesday. Even after suspending its drone program, a separate unit in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives purchased an additional five drones for $15,000 without coordinating with the agency’s drone office — and those aircraft were grounded.

N. Y.: New disease found Health officials have found a new germ in Eastern Europe that is related to the dreaded smallpox and monkeypox viruses but so far seems far less threatening. The germ caused two cattle herders to suffer fever, swollen lymph nodes and painful boils on their hands and arms in 2013. It happened in a rural area in the country of Georgia. They recovered in a matter of weeks. A third case in a cattle owner in 2010 was later found. The new virus has been named Akhmeta after the area where it was detected.

Texas: Doctors and guns If a state lawmaker gets his way, pediatricians and their patients will soon have less to talk about. The representative has introduced a bill that would prohibit doctors from asking patients whether they had a gun in their household. House Bill 2823 also recommends that physicians found to have initiated a conversation about firearms be reported to the Texas Medical Board for possible punishment.

Boeing S.C. union vote set Some 3,000 workers will decide April 22 on joining the Machinists union.

Associated Press NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — About 3,000 production workers at Boeing plants in South Carolina will decide next month whether they want representation by the Machinists union.

The union announced Tuesday that the International Association of Machinists and

Aerospace Workers and Boeing have agreed to the National Labor Relations Board conducting a one-day vote April 22 at five locations on the company’s North Charleston campus.

The union last week petitioned for an election for production workers at the company’s 787 Dreamliner assembly plant and the nearby Interiors Responsibility Center, which provides interior parts for the 787.

The vote also includes production workers at a new propulsion plant.

Company spokeswoman

Candy Eslinger said Wednesday that about 3,000 company production workers are eligible to vote. Boeing employs about 7,500 workers in South Carolina.

Gov. Nikki Haley said last week after the union petitioned for the vote that South Carolina companies understand the importance of taking care of workers and their employees do not want a middle man between them and management.

She called it hypocritical that a union that several years ago opposed the South Carolina Boeing plant now says it wants

to represent its workers. Haley has strongly opposed unions in a state where only 4 percent of the workforce is unionized.

Four years ago, shortly before Boeing opened the $750 million Dreamliner plant in South Carolina, the NLRB filed a complaint against the company alleging the nonunion plant was in retaliation against Washington state workers who earlier went on strike.

The NLRB later dropped the complaint after Boeing agreed that the 737 MAX would be built in Washington.

UAW boss rejects new tier of low wages The leader of the United Auto Workers union rejected a new level of lower wages for members who make auto parts ahead of contract talks with automakers that start in summer. There have been reports that General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. may propose a new pay level that is lower than the two existing groups. Speaking Wednesday, President Dennis Williams said the UAW already has too many tiers of lower wages. Williams is under pressure from union members to end a second level of wages that starts around $15 per hour, about half the $28 per hour made by longtime workers. “I’m thinking they got too many damn tiers now,” said Williams, who received a standing ovation.

Smartphones near total domination

By Michelle Chapman and Candice Choi NEW YORK — Some of the most familiar names in ketchup, pickles, cheese and hot dogs are set to come under the same roof after H.J. Heinz Co. announced plans Wednesday to buy Kraft and create one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies.

The deal would bring together an array of longtime staples in American kitchens, including Oscar Mayer lunchmeats, Jell-O desserts, Miracle Whip spreads, Ore-Ida potatoes and Smart Ones diet foods.

The combination of the two companies — each more than a century old — was engineered by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital, which teamed up just two years ago to buy Heinz. While shoppers are not expected to see any major changes, the creation of The Kraft Heinz Co. reflects the pressures facing some of the biggest packaged food makers in the U.S. As consumers increasingly migrate away from popular packaged foods in favor of options they consider less processed, companies including Campbell Soup, General Mills and Kellogg have been slashing costs or striking deals to update their products offerings. The Heinz-Kraft deal is in many ways just the latest example of that, although Buffett noted that the two companies still have a strong base of customers.

“I think the tastes Kraft and Heinz appeal to are pretty enduring,” he said in a telephone call to the business news channel CNBC. Still, the early plans outlined by Kraft and Heinz executives in a conference call Wednesday focused largely on the savings that would be achieved through the deal, rather than the potential for sales growth in North America. They said they expect to save $1.5 billion through moves such as combining manufacturing and distribution networks.

THE STORIES BEHIND THE BRANDS Heinz Tomato ketchup: The company’s name is synonymous with the ketchup it has been selling since 1876 that actually transformed the concept of ketchup. People now take for granted the fact that ketchup is commonly made from tomatoes, but that wasn’t always the case. The seemingly redundant “Tomato Ketchup” label is a holdover from when it was more common to find ketchup with ingredients other than tomatoes (some early recipes were based on mushrooms or even seafood), and Heinz needed to point out the difference.

Jell-O: The base ingredient of this wellknown product has been part of dessert dishes as far back as the late Middle Ages, but it was a cough syrup maker in 1897 who made it into what we know today. Pearle Bixby Wait started mixing powdered gelatin with fruit flavors and sugar. The result was sold to the Genesee Pure Food Company in 1899, and within a few years, advertisements in The Ladies Home Journal and the distribution of Jell-O cookbooks as a marketing tactic set the product on its way. The gelatinous dessert has an entire museum devoted to it in Leroy, New York, where it was created.

Kool-Aid: The powdered fruit drink was born of an experiment by Edwin Perkins in 1927, when he was looking for ways to reduce shipping costs for a liquid concentrate fruit drink.

The mascot for the brand, a liquid-filled, smiley faced pitcher with arms and legs, started to give the product legs of its own in the 1950s. His catchphrase of “Oh Yeah!” is now embedded in American pop culture.

north, in Chester, New York. The “Philadelphia” part of the name was a marketing move around 1880 to tie the product with the city known at the time for quality cream cheese.

Oscar Mayer: The story of Oscar Mayer starts in 1883 in Chicago, at the time the nation’s epicenter of meat packaging and processing, with Oscar F. Mayer’s butcher shop. The company stepped into hot dog marketing history in 1936 with the launch of the Wienermobile, a car shaped like a hot dog.

Lea & Perrins: The famous Worcestershire sauce was born of a mistake, so the story goes. The two chemists whose names adorn the bottle consigned the finished product to a cellar after having tasted and rejected it as unpleasant. The key ingredient, though, turned out to be time. Years later, they rediscovered the jars and tasted the sauce again. It first sold commercially in England in 1837 and became part of Heinz in 2005.

Cheez Whiz: The all-purpose cheese sauce — and staple topping of the classic Philly cheesesteak — was inspired by a simple dish of melted cheese over toast. The product hit the market in 1952, with its first campaign slogan eventually being “Spoon it.

Spread it. Heat it.” The first part of that slogan eventually became unnecessary, when in 1993, Kraft introduced the squeezable bottle.

In case you haven’t raised your head long enough to notice the throngs of people gazing hypnotically at their smartphones, the nation has passed a milestone. Smartphones now make up 75 percent of the mobile phone market, up from 65 percent a year ago and just 2 percent a decade ago, according to the Internet analytics firm comScore. Put another way, three-quarters of Americans age 13 and older now have smartphones. Most other people have some other type of cellphone, such as a flip phone or TracFone, used mostly for old-fashioned talking.

Big glut of crude waiting in Iran Lifting oil sanctions on Iran could hit global markets long before the nation starts pumping more crude. That’s because the OPEC member has been stockpiling oil onshore and in supertankers in the Persian Gulf. While estimates of the hoard by shipbrokers and government officials vary from as little as 7 million barrels to as much as 35 million, Barclays and Societe Generale predict this crude would be first to be sold abroad if there’s an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. and five other world powers are scheduled to resume talks with Iran this week, offering relief from sanctions on oil exports, shipping and financial transactions if the Islamic Republic curtails its nuclear program.

Durable goods orders take tumble Orders for computers, autos, aircraft and other long-lasting durable goods fell in February, the third decline in four months for the key indicator of future economic growth. The Commerce Department said Wednesday durable goods orders declined 1.4 percent from the previous month, led by a large drop in orders for defense aircraft. Economists had expected a fall-off from January’s 2 percent growth.

But forecasts called for a 0.2 percent increase. Durable goods orders are a sign of activity in the important manufacturing sector.

Bombardier plans to update its regional jets Bloomberg News MONTREAL — Bombardier plans to upgrade the regional jets that have been neglected during the company’s struggle to build its biggest-ever plane, the CSeries.

Design changes such as new winglets and a modified wing are under development that would cut the jets’ fuel burn by at least 4.5 percent by 2020, said executives including Jean-Francois Tessier, director of program strategy. Bombardier also is in talks with Asian and North

American carriers that may lead to orders in the next few months, he said.

The CRJ family was Bombardier’s flagship commercial line before the planemaker opted to emphasize the larger CSeries, which is two years late and whose $5.4 billion program cost is at least $2 billion over budget. While working on the CSeries, Bombardier has seen the CRJ sales fall behind those of Embraer SA’s regional models, which are being fitted with new engines.

“We are committed to the CRJ platform for at least

the next 15 years,” Hugues Lessard, vice president and general manager of the CRJ program, said Friday at the company’s Mirabel plant north of Montreal.

“Where we maybe erred a bit, where we made a faux pas, is that we put so much focus on the CSeries.

Some people thought we were going to stop building regional jets and exit the market, but nothing could be further from the truth.”

Bombardier invented the regional jet in the late 1980s with the 50-seat CRJ200, a derivative of its Challenger business aircraft. The CRJs are as large as 104 seats, compared with as few as 108 for the smallest CSeries models.

Brazil’s Embraer had taken a different tack with its E-Jet line. In 2013,

the planemaker opted to invest about $1.7 billion in its updated E2 regional jet series. Embraer won 210 orders for the new E2s in 2013 and 2014, almost triple the 76 regional- jet orders Bombardier booked in the same period.

Bombardier isn’t disclosing for now how much it plans to invest in the CRJ series, Lessard said. New design software makes it possible to improve the jets’ fuel performance, he said.

The CRJ900 already burns 5.5 percent less fuel than the version that entered service in 2003, and Bombardier is committed to a “double-digit” reduction in consumption by 2020, Tessier said.

“In fact, we are working on much more than 10

percent,” he said. “We’re reducing the weight. We’re looking at how we could use the CSeries materials on a CRJ, for instance an aluminum-lithium hybrid, but we see this as a longterm process. In the short term, we think we can make many improvements to the wing, to its design.”

Bombardier has garnered more than 1,800 firm orders for CRJs since the program began, and today more than 60 airlines worldwide operate the aircraft.

In February, American Airlines signed a firm order for 24 CRJ900s valued at $1.1 billion at list prices. Mesa Air Group, an American Airlines partner, followed suit this month with a deal for seven jets, and “we have many more

orders that are going to come,” said Lessard. He wouldn’t be more specific.

Outside the U.S., the world’s biggest regional-jet market, Bombardier has high hopes for Asia. After winning an order from Garuda Indonesia in 2012, Bombardier has “other active campaigns right now,” Tessier said without identifying potential customers.

China, where Bombardier counts China Express Airlines as its most recent customer, “is going to grow exponentially,” Tessier said.

“Today Chinese airlines are focusing on connections between the large cities, and the next step will be to link smaller towns to the big hubs. That’s the model that China Express is following.”

Heinz: Cost-cutting coming at Kraft From Page A9

School of Business, said that will probably result in job losses.

“Even though it is painful for the people involved, those resources will be freed up for other, potentially more productive, uses,” he said.

The boards of both companies unanimously approved the deal, which still needs a nod from federal regulators and shareholders of Kraft Foods Group Inc. The companies say they expect the deal to close in the second half of the year.

If the agreement goes through, Kraft is expected to undergo cost-cutting under the management of 3G Capital, which is known for running tight ships.

John Cahill, who took over as CEO of Kraft late

last year, noted that the new management would drive a “much leaner organization,” as was the case when 3G took over Heinz.

He said 3G can “make this happen deeper and faster.”

“What we have not been thrilled about is some of our execution,” Cahill said.

The two companies also see potential in pushing their products more aggressively overseas.

Since splitting from Mondelez in 2012, Kraft’s business has been primarily concentrated in North America. But executives noted that Kraft’s brands are well known in major markets around the world, including the United Kingdom, Mexico, China and Brazil.

Already, Heinz gets 61 percent of sales from outside North America, said Bernardo Hees, the CEO of

Heinz and a partner at 3G Capital who will become head of the newly created company.

The deal came together rapidly, Buffett said, having been in the works for only about four weeks. The new company will be co-headquartered in Pittsburgh, where Heinz is based, and the Chicago area, home of Kraft, and will have annual revenue of about $28 billion.

Eight of its brands have annual sales of $1 billion or more and five others log sales between $500 million and $1 billon every year.

Shares of Kraft jumped nearly 35 percent, to $82.72, in Wednesday afternoon trading.

The total value of the deal is difficult to gauge because Heinz is privately held. But Kraft shareholders will receive stock in the

combined company and a special cash dividend of approximately $10 billion, or $16.50 per share. Each share of Kraft will be converted into one share of Kraft Heinz.

Current Heinz shareholders will own 51 percent of the combined company, with Kraft shareholders owning a 49 percent stake.

The Kraft Heinz board will include six directors from the current Heinz board. Those six directors will include three members from Berkshire Hathaway and three members from 3G Capital. The current Kraft board will appoint five directors to the combined company’s board.

Kraft Heinz plans to keep Kraft’s current dividend once the transaction closes. Kraft has no plans to change its dividend before the deal is complete.

IN OUR VIEW | Paycheck Fairness Act

A renewed push for equal pay Since the Equal Pay Act became law in 1963, women have made gains as the gap has closed between what they and men earn working at comparable jobs.

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the early ’60s women made an average of about 60 cents for every dollar men earned. By 2013, that ratio had increased to 78 cents on the dollar. At that rate of improvement, women need only wait 43 years, until 2058, for their pay to match their male co-workers who perform similar tasks.

You’ve come a long way, as the cigarette slogan used to go.

But you’ve got a long way yet ahead.

Legislation reintroduced this week by Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Washington, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, the Paycheck Fairness Act, would bolster the

Equal Pay Act and allow that gap to close more quickly.

The legislation would: ■■Require employers to show that pay disparities among male and female employees were related to the job and its performance and not gender; ■■Allow coworkers to share salary information with each other without fear of retaliation by employers; ■■Allow women to file suit for back pay and punitive damages for pay discrimination; ■■Establish a grant program for courses that would train women in salary negotiation and other workplace skills; and ■■Require the Department of Labor to enhance outreach and training for employers to eliminate pay disparities.

The Paycheck Fairness Act makes sense not simply because it’s a matter of basic fairness; the job and how well it’s performed is what should

matter to an employer. It also makes sense for the good it can do for our economy.

Analysis prepared for The Shriver’s Report, “A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink,” showed that nearly 60 percent of women would see a pay increase if they were paid the same as men of a similar age, educational background and hours worked.

The poverty rate for working women, the report found, would be cut in half, to 3.9 percent from 8.1 percent.

Likewise the poverty rate for working single mothers would also fall to 15 percent from the current 28.7 percent.

The total increase in women’s earnings, assuming pay were equal, would represent more than 14 times what state and federal governments spent in 2012 on Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, the report also found.

The end result for our nation’s economy: Had pay been equal in 2012, it would have amounted to an additional $447.6 billion, 2.9 percent of that year’s gross domestic product.

Similar legislation last year in the Senate was blocked twice by Republicans, most recently in September when the bill failed to get the 60 votes in needed to advance; it failed with 52 senators supporting, 40 against.

Republicans dismissed the legislation as a “show vote,” meant only to play to the Democratic base before the November election.

It doesn’t have to be viewed as such. Support of a basic bit of fairness — equal pay for equal work — especially one with such an economic upside, would go a long way toward disproving the allegation of a Republican “war on women.”

grip on these companies!

Why should we here in Washington state be proud of a company that has blackmailed their employees; now blackmailing the state while paying their CEOSs more than $2 million a month.

Giving that company billions in tax breaks while Snohomish County suddenly raises property taxes by 25 percent for people already struggling to make ends meet.

Still a lot to do for Obama and his hopefully Democratic successors!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ECONOMY

Failed policies still in play today One has but to look at the history of the national debt to see where the real problem occurred. World War II had to be won, at great cost of lives and money, but for the 35 years after the improving economy helped bring down the debt. So what happened and why is it seemingly out of control?

George H.W. Bush put it best: Voodoo economics, yet ironically he double-downed on the very same policies which re-ignited the skyrocketing debt.

Reagan propagated small government and slashing taxes, for the rich mostly. The facts are in and his policies didn’t work out so well for the whole country, and that trend continues today. (See wealth divide.) It didn’t just happen.

The letter writer who claims that tax cuts and spending cuts starve the beast parrots this mentality of supply-side economics.

Those who influenced Reagan failed to mention that for some, there was a whole lot of money to be made by redirecting the money collected and spent by the government, regardless of the consequences. The net result of this attack started with the debt almost tripling in eight years under Reagan and more than doubling again under George W. Bush, both of whom promoted this rip-off deception of starving the government, read as we the people.

For all you Obama haters, it should be noted that these same policies are pretty much in play today. (See tax debate.)

Most fascinating and head-scratching is that the writer believes there will be enough to care for the indigent and frail while those he may vote for are clamoring to defund as many support programs as they can get away with.

Why the rush to destroy it?

I was part way through reading my morning Herald when it suddenly occurred to me what how very taken we Homo Sapiens are with our importance. I mean, here we are a mere 4.5 billion years or so into our planet’s lifespan with a whopping 7.5 billion or so to go. Judging by biological history, that means that we will be long gone, as a species, through evolution long before the whole party is over and we seem to have decided to use every tool at our command to put the kibosh on that parade by ending it all now while we are still the leading float.

We have this planet that is so fantastically put together that there don’t seem to be any like it for many light years and are going to ruin it before it is half-way done because it so very important how other people worship their gods, how much excess of the stuff of life we can hoard, hog, claim and waste, and that we establish our ownership by codifying a right to heedlessly abuse, plunder and defile it in the

■■UNITED STATES

Wage real war, or get totally out Our nation is at war.

Although there are those who will not admit it, or choose to ignore it.

Conventional bombing, even with the advent of drones, cannot completely defeat a determined force. If air power alone could lead to victory, there would have been no need for so many invasions during World War II and we would have won in Vietnam.

I think we should get completely out or completely in.

Completely in means unrestricted warfare employing all the resources: troops on the ground, and bring back the draft. All this minus chemical, biological or radiation. This tacit war is only wasting resources and putting valuable personnel in danger.

Have we not learned anything from history? Never fight a war you do not intend to win!

Personally, I lean toward the option of withdrawing from all of these conflicts. Some societies are not ready or capable of handling democracy.

If a society feels it owes more allegiance to its religion or its tribe than to their nation, what’s the use?

Wrong battles being picked in Lynch vote

P

resident Obama got it two-thirds right when he said that the delayed confirmation of his attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch, is owing to Senate dysfunction and Republican stubbornness.

He left out the part about Democratic intransigence and at least one incident of “wacko-birdness” from the left.

When John McCain origiKATHLEEN PARKER nally used “wackobirds” to describe a few of his Senate colleagues, including now-presidential candidate Ted Cruz, he seems to have released a contagion. The U.S. Senate, once the perch of eagles, has begun to resemble an aviary of grackles. Much a-cawing about little.

Lynch’s qualifications aren’t really in question. Most agree that she’s more than up to the job, yet her confirmation has been stalled by Republicans who want something in exchange for their blessings. Within this construct are at least four moving parts that have little or nothing to do with Lynch’s confirmation — sex trafficking, abortion, race and immigration.

If you’re not confused, stick around.

First up, abortion and sex. What else?

Republicans are demanding a (Henry) Hyde Amendment-type component to the sex-trafficking bill. This sort of restriction of federal spending for abortion has routinely been included without debate in relevant legislation for nearly 40 years.

This time, Democrats say no-go.

Republicans respond: No Hyde, no Lynch.

Both points of view have merit though neither is germane to the Lynch nomination. We are, after all, talking sex trafficking of mostly women and children, some of whom may have become pregnant in the process. Given that most Republicans are willing to grant exceptions to their anti-abortion stance for victims of rape or incest (the language for which is included in the Hyde Amendment), I’m not sure what either Republicans or Democrats are worried about. With or without the Hyde language, a sex slave is going to get what she needs medically.

Meanwhile, what does it profit the GOP to tie the confirmation of Lynch to legislation that needn’t be controversial?

Answer: It doesn’t. Lynch has been waiting in the wings now for longer than any other attorney general nominee in U.S. history. Republicans, principled or not, have merely opened themselves up to challenges of racism and even sexism.

Clamoring to this low branch is grackle du jour Sen. Dick Durbin, whose hyperbole is exceeded only by his wearying lack of originality. Republicans, he cawed, are forcing Lynch to “sit in the back of the bus.”

The “bus”? Really? The back burner, perhaps, but the Lynch debate hardly centers on race relations in America.

Durbin has earned ample criticism for his remark, but the double standard deserves a fresh airing. To wit, Durbin’s vote against Condoleezza Rice for secretary of state 10 years ago. Was he being racist?

Finally, we arrive at the fourth moving part — immigration. All but four Republican senators thus far say they won’t confirm Lynch because of her cautious embrace of Obama’s executive actions on immigration as at least “reasonable.”

At least these objections are based somewhat on concerns about legal reasoning, but are they smart? One of the GOP’s persistent flaws is picking the wrong battles.

As a matter of record, nearly every president in the past 50 years has taken some executive action on immigration.

Republicans could have pre-empted the president’s action with a comprehensive reform bill. Instead, they’ve taken a piecemeal approach, first by threatening to shut down Homeland Security (brilliant!) and now trying to block access to Earned Income Tax Credit for immigrants affected

by Obama’s executive action.

The quid for their quo isn’t applause but fresh nourishment for three familiar narratives: Republicans wage war on women; Republicans are racists; Republicans don’t like Latinos. It doesn’t matter that these are false, just as are right-wing taunts that Obama is a Muslim who hates America.

It only matters that the narratives survive through this election cycle. In the game of branding and perception, truth sits in the back of a bus called Narrative.

And Republicans seem to get off on the wrong stop every time.

Feds: Man who killed brother took his identity

By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — A South Korean man who was deported after serving time for killing his brother in 1984 was charged with weapons violations after authorities said he used the dead man’s identity to buy guns.

Junne Kyoo Koh was convicted and sentenced in 1985 in the shooting death of Sang Kyoo Koh, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle. He was

deported in 1992 after he completed his sentence.

Last June, he called Bellevue police and reported that his family had been kidnapped, his brother’s car was missing, and he could no longer access his parents’ online bank account. He said he feared someone was trying to take his family’s home and their Social Security income.

Police said they found several handguns at the home and became concerned about his mental health and for the safety of people around him. Koh

agreed to turn the firearms over to law enforcement.

Koh later sent an email to a Bellevue detective saying he had received a call from members of his family who were in California but would not tell him where.

During the missing persons’ investigation, police discovered the 1985 murder case and determined that Junne Koh had assumed his brother’s identity to return to the U.S., the complaint said.

In an email, Koh told a detective that he was working in the

North Dakota oil field and “since I am not allowed to have guns, you can seize my pistols. Also I am not allowed to live in the United States. I therefore use many identities including Sam,” the complaint says.

Koh was arrested in August in Los Angeles, where detectives believe he went to search for his family. California authorities found a resident alien card, two Washington state identification cards, a Social Security card and a Korean passport all in the name of Sang Koh.

Italian court hears Knox’s appeal

By Colleen Barry and Frances D’emilio Associated Press

ROME — Amanda Knox’s defense lawyer urged Italy’s highest court Wednesday to overturn the American’s conviction in the 2007 murder of her British roommate, calling it a “grave judicial error.”

Knox, who lives in Seattle, faces 28½ years in an Italian jail for the 2007 murder of 21-yearold Meredith Kercher in an apartment they shared in the university town of Perugia, after being convicted by a Florence appeals court last year along with her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

Sollecito’s defense will make its case Friday, when the case resumes before the Court of Cassation.

Winding up Wednesday’s full day of arguments, Knox defense lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova said the Florence court’s conviction of Knox “is not justice, it is a distortion of the facts.”

He argued, that based on analysis of blood stains in Kercher’s room and elsewhere in the house the two women shared, “there is not one trace of Amanda in the room of the crime.”

“We are confronted with a very grave judicial error that must be set right,” he said before asking the court to overturn the 2014 guilty verdict.

Knox maintains her innocence. She returned to the United States in 2011 after an earlier appellate court verdict acquitted the pair. She was awaiting the high court’s decision in Seattle, and is “worried, very worried,” Dalla Vedova said.

“I don’t think she is sleeping much,” he added.

Sollecito spent the day in court, joined by family members and supporters. He remains free but his passport was seized after the Florence court sentenced him to 25 years.

The Cassation Court’s options include confirming the guilty verdicts, raising the question

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Raffaele Sollecito, Amanda Knox’s ex-boyfriend, and his girlfriend, Greta Menegaldo, arrive at the Court of Cassation in Rome on Wednesday.

Knox bows her head during a television interview Jan. 31, 2014, in New York.

of extradition for Knox; overturning the convictions and ordering a third appeals trial; or overturning the convictions without a new trial, tantamount to acquittal.

Knox and Sollecito were convicted in 2009 of the murder, then acquitted by a Perugia appeals court in 2011. The Court of Cassation, however, threw out the acquittal in a scathing decision, remanding the case to a Florence appeals court, which convicted the pair.

The judge who presided over

the appeals trial that acquitted the pair said the defendants have been “devastated” by the drawnout, contradictory decisions.

Now retired, Claudio Pratillo Hellmann, in comments to the Italian news agency ANSA, predicted that the United States wouldn’t agree to extradite Knox.

Kercher family lawyer Francesco Maresca said he hoped the Cassation Court would be reach a final decision, confirming the verdicts and ending the long legal saga.

“I hope that that family can

remember the poor victim outside of the halls of justice after so many years,” Maresca said.

The case generated intense media attention after Kercher’s half-naked body was found in the apartment she shared with Knox and two Italian roommates in the university town of Perugia.

Her throat was slit and she had been sexually assaulted.

Within days of her murder, suspicion fell on Knox and Sollecito, her boyfriend of just a few days.

Knox has been portrayed alternately as a victim of a botched investigation and shoddy Italian justice, or a promiscuous predator who falsely accused a Congolese bar owner of the murder.

Arriving for Wednesday’s hearing in the ornate Palace of Justice, Sollecito was swarmed by cameras. The courtroom was so packed that the presiding judge moved the proceedings to a much larger courtroom.

Prosecutor Mario Pinelli challenged the defense argument that there was no clear motive for the killing. He said focusing on the motive was a “slippery slope” and that the high court should just concentrate on the evidence.

Pinelli also focused on Knox’s accusation against the bar owner, Diya “Patrick” Lumumba, who employed Knox. Lumumba, who is adamant about Knox’s guilt, was in court Wednesday.

Knox and Sollecito denied involvement in the murder, and said they had spent the evening at Sollecito’s place watching a movie, smoking pot and making love.

The Florence appeals court that convicted them most recently ruled that the pair acted in concert with Rudy Hermann Guede, a drifter born in the Ivory Coast who is serving a 16-year sentence for his role in the slaying and sexual assault.

The presiding judge contended that Knox delivered the fatal knife blow because she wanted to “humiliate the victim.”

Overturned salmon truck causes big stink Associated Press SEATTLE — A large tractor-trailer rig hauling a load of salmon that overturned Tuesday afternoon caused a monumental traffic headache, blocking a section of the southbound lanes of Highway 99 in south Seattle for nine hours before it was removed.

The Seattle Transportation Department reported the rig was finally removed at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police said the truck driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Some people stuck on buses decided to get off and walk.

Traffic was slowed or halted on surface streets and I-5. Members of the Seattle Sounders soccer team were forced to park their cars and walk to the game at CenturyLink Field.

At one point, officials said, a cross-town trip from Elliott Bay to I-5 took an hour. That’s a distance of a little more than a mile.

SEATTLEPI.COM

People walk from an accident Tuesday on the Alaskan Way Viaduct, an elevated section on Highway 99 in downtown Seattle, after a truck hauling fish overturned, shutting the southbound lanes of the thoroughfare.

The accident caused major gridlock in Seattle.

Junne Koh was extradited to Washington state. He told Bellevue police that he re-entered the U.S. near Lynden, Washington in 1993 and assumed his dead brother’s identity, the complaint said.

Koh was charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, having a gun while in the U.S. illegally, and illegal re-entry after being deported. Vanessa Pai-Thompson , his federal public defender, did not return a message seeking comment

UW loses sole right to med school

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — A nearly-century old restriction giving the University of Washington in Seattle the exclusive right to operate a public medical school in the state was removed by the Legislature on Wednesday, opening the door for a new Washington State University medical school in Spokane.

Senators approved House Bill 1559 on a 47-1 vote and the measure now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee for his signature. The Senate had previously passed an identical version earlier this month, but took its final vote on the House version of the bill.

Sen. Barbara Bailey, a Republican from Oak Harbor who is chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, said that the bill was an important step to increase the number of medical students in the state. She noted that the state needs more medical providers and that the measure was “a great start in answering that shortage.”

By adding WSU as a school that is authorized to establish, operate, and maintain a school of medicine, the bill eliminates a restriction dating from 1917 that gives the University of Washington the exclusive right to do so.

The UW medical school admits only 120 Washington medical students each year, though it also currently trains additional medical students in Spokane through a multistate program it runs.

The bill’s sponsor, Democratic Rep. Marcus Riccelli of Spokane, said that the state is giving more local students the opportunity to stay in state to continue their education.

“A new generation of doctors will engage in cutting-edge community-based training to ensure Washington patients get the care they deserve,” he said in a statement in which he thanked Republican Sen. Michael Baumgartner, who was the Senate sponsor of the measure.

The bill doesn’t appropriate any state money to a new school, but lawmakers are in the process of crafting budget proposals for the next two-year state budget.

WSU is estimating it would cost $2.5 million to pursue accreditation for the medical school. If a school is ultimately established, they estimate they would need $60,000 in state funds per student each year.

Sen. Jamie Pedersen, a Democrat from Seattle, was the lone ‘no’ vote.

He said he had concerns about the amount of money that the school would cost the state, and suggested there were less expensive ways to address physician shortage issues, such as expanding the current multistate program that UW runs, or a loan repayment program.

“We have better ways of spending that money that would more quickly deliver more doctors to the areas that actually need them,” Pedersen said after the vote.

More parents seeking urban lives for kids

By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — A small but growing number of parents are bucking a trend when it comes to raising their kids: Rather than move to suburbs as their parents once did, many are opting to stay in or near downtown.

Some do it to seek an urban lifestyle, shorten commutes or be within proximity to restaurants, museums and other attractions.

Along the way, they’re pushing cities to be more welcoming to families.

Parents in cities across the country, including Seattle, Minneapolis and Denver, are banding together to advocate for new downtown schools, more playgrounds and more affordable family-friendly housing.

“The benefit of living in the city so far outweighed what we would get by moving out to the suburbs,” said Jenny Kelly, 32, a marketing consultant who helped form a parents group in 2013, now called Parents for a Better Downtown Seattle.

She and her husband, Michael, moved downtown in their 20s and stayed when they had Elea, now 2. Both walk to work from their loft apartment in Pioneer Square.

Kelly and other parents recently pushed for a

public school downtown, and they lobbied to include a playground in a redesign of the city’s waterfront.

Seattle offers developers near downtown the chance to build taller if they provide space for a school, though no one has taken up the offer.

Some cities are trying to respond to families, albeit slowly. Portland revised building codes to allow courtyard housing, considered an amenity for families. And Baltimore Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake has pledged to grow her city by 10,000 families.

“Families with children are indicator species about the health of an urban neighborhood,” said Gary Johnson, Seattle’s city center coordinator.

For decades, Seattle has had a well-earned

reputation as a childless city. In the 1960s and 70s, as more families moved to the suburbs, their numbers in the city dropped.

Children still make up a much smaller percentage of Seattle’s population, compared with the rest of the state or the U.S, but recent trends suggest Seattle is doing a better job of holding onto those kids, according to Sightline Institute, a Seattle-based think tank.

The city is growing its share of kids under 15 at a time when that percentage is declining elsewhere.

“We seem to be closing the child gap,” said Eric De Place, the group’s policy director.

Between 2007 and 2012, the number of downtown kids enrolled in kindergarten to eighth grade

jumped nearly 30 percent, according to the Downtown Seattle Association, a business group that has worked to get more families downtown.

Parents used to stay until their kids reached age 5 and half would leave downtown, said Jon Scholes, the association’s CEO who is raising 5-year-old twins downtown. But he’s starting to see parents staying longer than before.

In Minneapolis, Melissa and Aaron Whitney downsized from a 2,700-square-foot, fivebedroom home in the suburbs to an apartment half that size downtown.

“We drank the Kool-Aid. We thought once we got

married, we had to buy a house in the suburb,” said Aaron Whitney, 40, a technology consultant.

They realized they didn’t want to spend their time on home repairs or yard work and already spent so much leisure time downtown that they moved back with their son, who is now 2.

The couple said they wouldn’t mind more green spaces and affordable housing in the city. A new school opens up in downtown this fall, and they’re watching its progress to decide where they’ll enroll their son.

Bradley Calvert, 33, who moved from Atlanta to Seattle with his wife and toddler last year, joined

other parents in pushing for a downtown public school. The district last month lost a bid on a vacant federal building downtown.

He said a downtown school and more affordable housing will be keys to keeping families in the urban core.

Lindsey Carillo, 31, grew up in a suburb of Detroit but wanted to expose her kids to city living. “It gives them a different way of living,” said the mother of two kids, who are 8 and 1.

“I want my kids to have a cultured experience growing up.”

Her family of four shares a two-bedroom high-rise apartment in downtown

PLANNING

MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (MDNS) - 2015 UPDATE OF THE LYNNWOOD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (File No. ERC-002612-2015) DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The City of Lynnwood is proposing amendments to the Lynnwood Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code in response to Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements. The amendments fulfill the GMA requirement that Lynnwood periodically conduct a thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan and related development regulations. The amendments under consideration: 1) bring the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations up to date with relevant changes in the GMA; 2) respond to changes in land use and population growth; and 3) address incremental change in the community since the previous amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendments are scheduled to be adopted prior to June 30, 2015.

In general, the Comprehensive Plan elements have been updated to better reflect current priorities, and some policies have been edited for clarity and readability. Policy language has been reviewed for consistency with GMA, VISION 2040 and the Countywide Planning Policies for Snohomish County. The draft Comprehensive Plan references and includes theoretical land use capacity that could accommodate the 2035 population and employment growth targets mandated by the Countywide Planning Policies.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared and issued for the City’s initial GMA-based Comprehensive Plan (1994), and a supplemental EIS was prepared and issued for the periodic update (2001). Threshold determinations were issued for the annual amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.

PROPONENT AND LEAD AGENCY City of Lynnwood Community Development Department PO Box 5008, Lynnwood, WA 98046-5008 Contact: Corbitt Loch, AICP, Deputy Director, 425-670-5406, cloch@ci.lynnwood.wa.us Todd Hall, Senior Planner, 425-670-5407, thall@ci.lynnwood.wa.us SEPA RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL Paul Krauss, AICP, Director Ph: 425-670-5401 Email: pkrauss@ci.lynnwood.wa.us LOCATION OF PROPOSAL This is a city-wide, non-project action.

PERMITS REQUIRED Adoption of Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Zoning Code Amendments by the City Council.

DETERMINATION The lead agency has reviewed this proposal and has determined that it would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required. This determination was made after review of a completed environmental checklist, the draft Comprehensive Plan, and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request.

This Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) is issued under Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-350. The MDNS is an acknowledgement that: a) a 20-year plan for community growth and change could potentially generate significant adverse environmental impacts; and b) compliance with existing Federal, State, and local laws, regulations and standards will adequately mitigate the potential for significant adverse environmental impacts; and c) the draft 2015 Update of the Lynnwood Comprehensive Plan contains numerous provisions intended to mitigate the potential for adverse impacts to the environment. The attached Example List of Existing Plans, Studies, and Regulations identifies existing documents that collectively protect the environment from significant adverse impacts.

COMMENT PERIOD The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 15 calendar days from the date of issue. Comments must be submitted by 4:00 pm, April 9, 2015 to the SEPA Responsible Official. This DNS becomes final at 4:00 PM, April 9, 2015 unless the determination is withdrawn or amended by the City’s SEPA Responsible Official.

APPEAL This threshold determination is appealable pursuant to LMC 17.02.195. The written appeal, along with the required appeal fee of $500 must be submitted to the City of Lynnwood by 4:00 pm, April 23, 2015.

Paul Krauss, AICP, Responsible Official Date: March 26, 2015 VOLUNTARY OFFERS AND APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS This threshold determination was reached on the basis of the plans, suppor ting documents, calculations and agreements contained in the voluntary submittals associated with activity number(s) ERC-002612-2015 and SEPA review. Specifically: 1. Example List of Plans, Studies and Regulations (attached to SEPA Checklist).

2. SEPA Checklist and Supplemental Checklist, prepared by City of Lynnwood.

The voluntary offers and environmental documents listed above were considered and evaluated as par t of this threshold determination.

March to the match?

Sounders had to run

WHL PLAYOFFS | Preview

Traffic nightmare in downtown Seattle causes some Sounders players to ditch cars and proceed on foot to Tuesday’s game.

The Silvertips’ Noah Juulsen looks to pass against the Royals during a game at Xfinity Arena in Everett on March 21.

Dedicated to his craft

Silvertips defenseman Noah Juulsen has emerged as a legitimate NHL prospect Story by Nick Patterson

E

VERETT — Xfinity Arena is empty, and not a sound can be heard.

It’s a typical practice afternoon for the Everett Silvertips. The players and coaches have yet to take the ice, and nothing greets a visitor other than a clean, shiny sheet of ice and several water bottles lined up along the rail of the home bench.

The first sign of stirring comes from the tunnel leading back to Everett’s locker room, and inevitably the first player to emerge and step onto the ice has No. 3 on the back of his forest-green helmet.

It’s just one small illustration of why Noah Juulsen won the Silvertips’ first ever Most Dedicated Player award.

Juulsen’s dedication to his craft has turned

him into one of Everett’s standout players, and the young defenseman will be counted upon to play a significant role in the Silvertips’ first-round playoff series against the Spokane Chiefs.

“I think I’ve always worked pretty hard,” Juulsen said. “I try to have a good work ethic every day.”

Juulsen, a native of Abbotsford, B.C., played a big part in Everett winning the U.S. Division championship. He and Ben Betker comprise the top defensive pairing on a Tips team that allowed the second-fewest goals in the WHL. Juulsen also topped Everett’s blueliners in points with 52 (nine goals, 43 assists) in 68 games. He was given the Most Dedicated Player award, formerly the Coaches Award, during the Tips’ year-end

awards ceremony following Saturday’s home finale.

Juulsen’s accomplishments sometimes make it hard to remember he’s still just 17 years old.

“Players reach that kind of (dedication) somewhere along the way, but every human matures at a different pace,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine said. “It was post college and into my mid-20s before I think I had a clue about the right way to go about certain things. He just has that at a younger age than some guys normally would. It’s a big part of why he’s been able to steadily get better at the game. He just works at the game.”

TUKWILA — Soccer players running is a completely normal and expected sight on the field.

Soccer players running through the streets of downtown Seattle during the evening commute is not, however.

Yet, thanks to the overturned semi-truck that closed Highway 99 and in turn crippled traffic in and around Seattle Tuesday night, a few Sounders players were forced to get to their game by foot.

Players were supposed to be at CenturyLink Field for Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game by 5:30, and when goalkeeper Stefan Frei realized traffic wasn’t moving and that he was running out of time, he parked at the Stefan Frei Westin Hotel and on his run to jogged the remain- CenturyLink Field: “That’s ing 1.5 miles.

“I got from my about as much house to the Wes- fitness as a tin, five blocks, in goalkeeper 45 minutes of driv- should be ing,” he said. “I was doing. That’s like, ‘I’ve got to why I choose the position, park the car.’ Took right?” me like 15, 20 minutes to run.”

Some fans noticed players like Frei, Lamar Neagle and Chad Barrett heading to the game on foot and mentioned it on Twitter. As the Twitter account for KOMO News noted, the “March to the match” was probably the most efficient means of getting to Tuesday’s game.

“I got a couple of tweets that were like, ‘Oh, we just saw Frei run past us,’” Frei said. “It’s a bit embarrassing. I’m actually lucky they let me into the stadium, because I came in from the north side, and had to go through security and they’re like, ‘Whoa, whoa, slow down.’ I said, ‘I’m a player, please let me in.’ It worked out, so that’s good.”

Frei caught a ride back to his car after the game from Brad Evans, so he at least avoided a foot commute home. According to Sounders coach Sigi Schmid, Barrett walked more than two miles from lower Queen Anne to the stadium.

“It’s a good warm-up, might not have helped his game,” Schmid quipped.

M’s considering Weeks at leadoff McClendon ‘just playing with things’ as 11-year veteran hits first in Wednesday’s spring training game against the Cubs.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Don’t use ink when writing in Austin Jackson atop the Seattle Mariners’ lineup card. Not yet, anyway.

Rickie Weeks batted leadoff in Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs and this time, apparently, it wasn’t because he needed to make an early departure for a dental appointment.

Manager Lloyd McClendon, while saying he’s “just playing with things” also acknowledged, “I like Rickie as a leadoff hitter, too.”

Weeks, 32, is no stranger to the duty.

He served as the leadoff hitter in 623 of his 1,026 career starts over an 11-year career with Milwaukee prior to signing Feb. 18 with the Mariners as a free agent.

Most notably, he has a .353 onbase percentage in his career as a leadoff hitter, which is slightly better than his overall .347 career mark.

“Over time,” Weeks said, “I had to adapt a little bit because I was always told that when you’re leading off, you’ve got to see pitches and take pitches. But I found I’ve

just got to play my game.

“It took me a while to figure that out, to just play the same way.”

Jackson batted second on Wednesday — a move that McClendon made twice earlier this spring when speedy James Jones batted leadoff. At the time, McClendon cited Jackson’s ability to “move the ball around.”

While Weeks lacks Jones’ speed, McClendon still likes Jackson’s potential as a No. 2 hitter behind Weeks and in front of Robinson Cano.

“Austin is a speed guy who hits a lot of triples and doubles,” McClendon said. “They both bring a lot to the table.”

t won’t be official until the middle of April, but state Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Brett Barkdull is “relatively confident” that the proposal now on the table for a summer Baker Lake/Skagit River sockeye fishery will be accepted by all user groups.

“It could be tweaked a little between now (Tuesday) and April 16, but I think the general framework is the direction we’re going,” Barkdull, in La Conner, said.

The 16th is the end of the 2015 North of Falcon salmon seasonsetting process, when federal and state fishery managers and user groups announce final coastal and inland seasons and regulations.

Baker Lake recreational sockeye regs would be about the same as last year, Barkdull said, except four salmon would be allowed daily this summer, an increase of one fish over last year.

The lake season would open July 10 and close Sept. 7; two rods would be legal with the proper license endorsement, and anglers would be allowed to fish until the boat limit is reached.

The season for the river fishery, from the Memorial Highway bridge in downtown Mount Vernon upstream to Gilligan Creek, would be increased significantly.

It would open June 16 and run through July 15 — roughly four weeks instead of last year’s two, with a three-fish limit. The season on the Skagit in 2014 was June 14-29.

Last year’s Baker Lake fishery didn’t go well, with the perception among a lot of fishermen that not enough sockeye were allowed to enter the lake. Barkdull said WDFW has, hopefully, addressed that concern by capping the number of fish river anglers can harvest.

“The public concern was with ‘getting fish to the lake,’” he said, “so we would cap the recreational river fishery at 20

Lures come and lures go, and we haven’t heard much the past few years about the once-popular Kastmaster spoon. But the weighted trout lure seems to be making a comeback of sorts, at least locally, according to Jim Strege at Triangle Bait and Tackle in Snohomish.

“We’ve been selling a lot of them,” Strege said, “particularly to guys going to Blackman’s or Flowing lakes — the best bets right now around here.”

The all-gold and gold with prism tape have been the best sellers, Strege said, while bait fishermen have been going with worms and garlic-scented Power Eggs.

When that quota is reached, the river fishery would basically shut down, except for spawning escapement and tribal needs.”

Kid’s derby Mark your calendar for what is probably the best-attended youth fishing derby in the county, the event on Lake Tye in Monroe, sponsored by the Sky Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. It’s scheduled for Sunday, April 26, the day after the statewide trout opener.

More on this later.

New commissioners The governor last week appointed fishing columnist Dave Graybill, in Leavenworth, and retired public health physician Kim Thorburn, in Spokane, to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. The commission is a nine-member citizen panel which sets policy for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and its members are appointed by the governor to sixyear terms, subject to state senate confirmation. Three members each must reside in eastern and western Washington, and three are chosen at large.

Traditional sportsmen’s interests should be in good hands with Graybill’s appointment, an avid sport fisherman and journalist with both print and electronic outlets in central Washington. His website is titled “The Fishin’ Magician,” his column runs in several newspapers and he hosts an outdoor radio show, among other activities.

Graybill is a friend, and we go back a long way — to a stint for both of us in the mid-1970s at the nowdefunct Fishing & Hunting News, a weekly outdoor tabloid published in Seattle. He and I have fished steelhead and salmon together, and hunted ducks and pheasant. I also fished several times with his brother Rick, a guide for years on Lake Chelan.

The Snohomish Sportsman’s Club planted 600-700 rainbows in Blackman’s two weeks ago, ranging in size from a pound up to 6-8 pounds. The next plant will be in about two weeks, according to club spokesman Mark Spada, and about every two weeks after that, with the same mix of trout sizes.

The state Fish and Wildlife Department also planted Blackman’s with 4,000 rainbows and Flowing with 6,000, one of the larger plants of year-around waters in the county. The state fish are running 10 or 11 inches on the average, Strege said.

— Wayne Kruse

Graybill, a University of Washington grad, is a member of the Icicle Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and the Coastal Conservation Association.

Thorburn has degrees from Stanford and Cal-San Francisco, and has worked as a professor of medicine for the University of Hawaii; as the director of Spokane Regional Health District; and most recently as the medical director for Planned Parenthood of the Inland Northwest.

She has held offices for the Spokane Audubon Society and Washington Ornithological Society, and was the recipient of WDFW’s 2010 Volunteer of the Year award for efforts to help in bringing sage grouse and sharptail grouse back to Lincoln County.

Basin fishing opportunity Chad Jackson, a WDFW biologist working out of the agency’s Ephrata office, said that despite a number of bad-weather days, the north Columbia Basin offers some very good fishing opportunities currently.

“Quality” lakes Lenice and Nunnally are fishing very well, Jackson said, for trout in the 15- to 17-inch range; Quincy and Burke are fair for some nice-sized fish, but numbers are down; Upper Caliche is a very good bet, probably the best of the March 1 openers and producing a four trout per person average. The seep lakes below O’Sullivan Dam which are open are improving daily.

Jackson said “gangbusters” fishing is on tap for walleye in Banks Lake and Potholes Reservoir, using bottom walkers with a wormspinner harness, or the relatively new Mustad Slow Death hooks with a nightcrawler. The latter is fast becoming very popular, used alone with a ‘crawler, or with a couple of beads and a smiley blade. The hook is designed to spin, or “buzz’ when retrieved, and online underwater videos of what it does with a worm aboard is startling.

Best fishing in both waters has been found at 25 to 50 feet, Jackson said.

Juulsen

The spring chinook fishery on the lower Columbia is off to a better start than last year, according to WDFW biologist Joe Hymer in the Vancouver office. Through Sunday, 485 springers had been counted over Bonneville Dam, compared to 37 last year at this time and 64 as a 10-year average.

Fishing effort almost doubled last week from the week before, but the success rate didn’t rise accordingly, Hymer said. Water levels on the lower river have been higher than optimum recently, he said.

Catch rates last week stood at about one king per 27 rods for boat anglers, and one per 12 rods for bank fishermen. The peak of the fishery usually produces an average of about one-half to one per boat, Hymer said.

The season below I-5 is scheduled to end April 10, but Hymer said Washington and Oregon fish managers would meet prior to that date to analyze run size and catch data, and could very well decide to extend the season right on through the 10th.

Steelhead The Cowlitz is the place to be for a great mix of late winter steelhead and early spring chinook. Hymer said seven or eight bright springers were caught at the barrier dam last week, while steelheaders in the vicinity of the trout hatchery were scoring at a little under a fish per person average.

Silvertips shut out of WHL awards

From Page C1

Juulsen is in his second season with the Tips. Last season he was a pleasant surprise, being able to take a regular shift on defense and compete in his own end as a 16-year-old rookie. Offensively, however, he was little more than an afterthought, contributing just 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 59 games.

This season Juulsen has provided the same level of defensive play, despite being asked to play a larger role against the opposition’s top offensive performers. But where Juulsen really broke out is on the offensive end. Juulsen was placed on one of Everett’s power-play units and has been an integral figure. His shot from the point is in many ways the focal part of the power play as the opposition is forced to account for it. As a result he finished eighth in the league with 23 power-play assists.

“All we knew is he had a really hard shot, the type of shot that has to be a part of a good power play,” Constantine said. “It’s heavy, it creates rebounds, it goes in the net on its own. We knew we had to work that into our power play somehow.”

The increased offensive production — Juulsen increased his scoring by more than 400 percent — even caught Juulsen by surprise.

“Coming in I thought I might try to go for double my points,” Juulsen said. “It kind of went beyond.”

The Everett coaching staff aren’t the only ones who have noted Juulsen’s progress.

The NHL has also been put on notice. Juulsen was 38th among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting

The Silvertips’ Noah Juulsen looks to pass with the Royals’ Logan Fisher defending during a game at Xfinity Arena on March 21.

Service’s midterm rankings.

That projects Juulsen to be picked somewhere between the second and fourth rounds of this year’s NHL draft.

“He’s certainly garnered tremendous attention by the NHL,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said. “He’ll certainly be a draft pick. It will be interesting in the end to see where he ends up being picked. He’s had a really good year. But when you’re around Noah day-in and day-out it’s not surprising where he’s gotten to because he’s a very committed and very focused young man. He already has a real pro mentality to his approach, not only with what he does on the ice, but also off the ice with how he looks after himself and his commitment

to his studies.

“He has an approach you would expect form a 25- or 26-year-old, as opposed to a 17-year-old. He’s got it figured out.”

Now, Juulsen and the Tips will have to figure out the Chiefs. The best-of-seven first round series between Everett, the top seed from the U.S. Division, and Spokane, the top wild-card entrant, begins with Game 1 Friday at Xfinity Arena.

“I think it will be a pretty good series,” Juulsen said.

“We’ve battled with them all year, we’d win a couple and lose a couple. It’ll be good.”

the end. But the Rockets have way too much talent for a banged-up Tri-City team. Only an exceptional goaltending performance by Eric Comrie can win the Americans a game.

Prediction: Kelowna in five games.

Victoria vs. Prince George

NICK’S PICKS Herald writer Nick Patterson’s predictions for the first round of the 2015 Western Hockey League playoffs:

WESTERN CONFERENCE Portland vs. Seattle

Synopsis: Portland dominated the season series the past five years, but this season Seattle won seven of the 12 meetings.

However, Portland’s elite offensive talent is a handful, and the T-birds will miss the physical presence of injured forwards Justin Hickman and Keegan Kolesar.

Prediction: Portland in seven games.

Kelowna vs. Tri-City

Synopsis: Kelowna, which led the league for most of the season, slowed down near

Synopsis: Prince George didn’t secure a playoff berth until the final weekend of the season, but the Cougars are playing their best hockey of the season heading into the playoffs. However, Victoria has the edge in both talent and playoff experience.

Prediction: Victoria in six games.

EASTERN CONFERENCE Brandon vs. Edmonton

Synopsis: This series pits last season’s league champion and Memorial Cup winner (Edmonton) against this season’s Scotty Munro Trophy winner for the league’s best record (Brandon). Brandon is a team on the rise, Edmonton is a team on the decline.

Prediction: Brandon in six games.

Regina vs. Swift Current

Synopsis: An odd series that sees a

team that sold at the trade deadline and has key players out injured (Regina) against a team that was supposed to contend but underachieved (Swift Current). Just how many players can the Pats lose before the effects are felt?

Prediction: Swift Current in seven games.

Calgary vs. Kootenay Synopsis: One of the more intriguing first-round series. Calgary has the depth of a title contender, while Kootenay is thin but has some of the best top-end talent in the league. But Calgary has some elite talent, too.

Prediction: Calgary in five games.

Medicine Hat vs. Red Deer Synopsis: Medicine Hat blew a big lead in the WHL’s Central Division and wound up finishing in second place, but the Tigers’ defense has gotten healthy in time for the postseason. Red Deer is hoping to experience some playoff success in advance of hosting the Memorial Cup next season.

Prediction: Medicine Hat in six games.

Chiefs vs. Silvertips

Here’s a breakdown of the best-of-seven first-round Western Hockey League playoff series between the Everett Silvertips, the top seed from the U.S. Division, and the Spokane Chiefs, the top wild-card qualifier:

Offense Goals scored: Everett 237, Spokane 216 Power play: Everett 24.3 percent, Spokane 23.7 percent At first glance it seems Everett has the advantage. The Tips scored 21 more goals during the regular season and appear to have more players who are legitimate offensive threats. That includes contributions from defensemen as Everett had three blue-liners tally 30-plus points. The Chiefs had just one.

However, a closer look gives a different read. Despite winning the season series 5-3, Everett outscored the Chiefs by just two goals in the eight head-to-head matchups.

Spokane was nearly unstoppable on the power play against the Tips, converting at a blistering 34.8 percent, and Spokane winger Adam Helewka was by far the most effective offensive player in the series, notching eight goals and seven assists in the eight games. The Chiefs also caused Everett all kinds of trouble in the Tips’ zone with their aggressive forecheck, leading to Spokane out-shooting the Tips in six of the eight games.

Advantage: even

Defense Goals allowed: Everett 193, Spokane 228 Penalty kill: Everett 76.6 percent, Spokane 82.6 percent Everett once again had one of the stingiest defenses in the WHL. Of the league’s 22

teams, only Kelowna allowed fewer goals than the Silvertips.

The goal prevention got even better once Carter Hart grabbed the reins in goal. The 16-year-old rookie carried the load down the stretch, making eight straight starts as Everett held off Portland to win the U.S. Division title, and he ended up leading the league in goals against average at 2.29.

Hart is screened by a defense that’s led by a formidable top pairing in overager Ben Betker and NHL draft prospect Noah Juulsen, as well as a forward group that’s adept at blocking shots.

Spokane, in contrast, was a middle-of-thepack defensive team, and the Chiefs really struggled to keep the scores down during the final two weeks of the regular season — during Spokane’s season-ending fivegame losing streak the Chiefs surrendered 29 goals. Spokane’s No. 1 goaltender, Garret Hughson, finished eighth in the league in goals against average at 2.80.

If either starting goaltender struggles, Everett is in a far better position with veteran Austin Lotz, who has two seasons worth of playoff experience, in reserve.

Advantage: Everett

Intangibles Both these teams overachieved this season. Everett was expected to be a middle-of-the-pack team in the U.S. Division, but wound up winning the division title. Spokane was universally picked to finish dead last in the division and perhaps the entire Western Conference, but surprised everyone by playing solid hockey despite a lack of high-end talent. Both coaches — Everett’s Kevin Constantine and Spokane’s Don Nachbaur — deserve much of the credit for that, and both can draw upon past playoff

success.

A year ago, Spokane would have had a huge home-ice advantage. Between March 14, 2010, and March 12, 2014, the Chiefs won 18 straight home games against Everett. However, a victory in the last meeting in Spokane last season seems to have broken the spell and the Tips won three of the four games at Spokane Arena this season.

The Tips definitely head into the postseason with more momentum. Everett finished the regular season 3-0-0-2 in its last five contests, earning the points needed to win the division title. Meanwhile Spokane, with little to play for down the stretch, comes into the playoffs riding a five-game losing streak.

Advantage: Everett

Overall This is not your typical one-seed-vs.-fourseed matchup. Although Everett finished 23 points ahead of Spokane in the standings, the teams played one another almost dead even during the regular season. Throw out the season finale, which meant nothing and saw both teams rest several top players, and in the seven games between the two teams Everett collected eight points and Spokane took seven, with the Tips outscoring the Chiefs by a single goal.

Everett broke an eight-year banner drought when it claimed the division title this season. The Tips also have gone the same length of time without winning a playoff series, with the last postseason victory coming in the first round in 2007. Who did Everett beat in that instance? None other than Spokane. Are things destined to come full circle?

Prediction: Everett in six games.

Sounders From Page C1

As is normally the case a day after a game, Wednesday’s practice was a light session to allow players to recover, something that Frei joked he could really appreciate after some extra running.

“That’s about as much fitness as a goalkeeper should be doing,” he said.

“That’s why I chose that position, right?”

Injury update The Sounders could have Osvaldo Alonso on the field for the first time this season when they face Dallas this weekend, which would provide a big boost to their midfield. Alonso, one of the team’s three designated players, has not played yet this season while recovering from groin surgery. But he practiced Wednesday and Schmid sounded optimistic that he, as well as right fullback Tyrone Mears (hamstring) will be available.

“They went through training today, and both came through no issues,” Schmid said. “We’ll make our decisions later today on them about the Dallas game, but we feel pretty good about both of them.”

Schmid had no new update on Clint Dempsey following Wednesday’s practice, though he confirmed the forward is out for Saturday’s game. Dempsey suffered a hamstring strain while training with the U.S. national team in Switzerland Monday, an injury estimated to keep him out two to three weeks according to a press release put out by U.S. Soccer. Dempsey returned to Seattle Tuesday, and while he’ll be out this week, Schmid indicated after Tuesday’s game that it shouldn’t be a longterm injury.

“I talked to him last night,” Schmid said Tuesday. “...

He feels that it’s not that bad.” Schmid added that he talked to U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, and that Klinsmann thought Dempsey might have had a chance to play next week’s game against Switzerland, but didn’t want to push it for a friendly.

M’s value jumps to $1.1 billion

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — The Seattle Mariners’ franchise value jumped an astounding 55 percent over the last year to $1.1 billion, according to Forbes magazine in its annual financial report on Major League Baseball.

Forbes took note of the club’s new deal with Root Sports, which it said would generate about $103 million a year over the life of the 18-year agreement.

Major League Baseball does not release it financial reports and has long disputed Forbes’

annual findings.

The magazine defines franchise value as the value of the club based on its current stadium deal without deduction for debt other than stadium debt.

Forbes also reported that, despite the Root-generated windfall, the Mariners actually dropped two slots — to 14th — in terms of franchise value when measured against the other 29 teams.

The Mariners’ value is also slightly below the overall majorleague average of $1.2 billion per franchise.

The New York Yankees rank

first in value at $3.2 billion. The Los Angeles Dodgers are second at $2.4 billion, followed by Boston at $2.1 billion, San Francisco at $2 billion and the Chicago Cubs at $1.8 billion.

The Mariners rank third in value among American League West teams.

The Los Angeles Angels rank eighth overall at $1.3 billion; Texas is 11th at $1.22 billion; Houston is 26th at $800 million; and Oakland is 27th at $725 million.

The only franchises ranked lower than the Astros and Athletics are Kansas City at $700 million, Miami at $650 million

and Tampa Bay at $625 million.

Cora on opening day Former second baseman Joey Cora will mark the 20th anniversary of the Mariners’ first postseason club by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for season opener on April 6 against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

Cora, now 49, played for the Mariners from 1995 until an Aug. 31, 1998 trade sent him to Cleveland for third baseman David Bell. Cora batted .277 in an 11-year career for four teams.

Pre-game ceremonies for the opener start at 12:30 p.m. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m.

The Mariners report only scattered single tickets remain for the opener.

Seahawks add three coaches to staff

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

The Seattle Seahawks have brought back a member of their first Super Bowl coaching staff of a decade ago.

They also rounded out their new defensive staff by hiring two defensive backs coaches, one per each position in the secondary.

Seattle announced Wednesday that Dwaine Board, its defensive line coach from 2003 to 2008, is returning to be the assistant to defensive line coach Travis Jones. Board had been coaching at a high school in the Bay Area.

The Seahawks also hired Florida A&M defensive coordinator Chris Cash to be an assistant coach in the secondary working with cornerbacks, and former New Orleans Saints assistant Andre Curtis to be an assistant coach with the safeties. They will combine to replace secondary coach Kris Richard, who is the Seahawks’ new defensive coordinator.

Since leaving the Seahawks’ staff following Mike Holmgren’s exit as coach at the end of the 2008 season, Board has been an assistant with the Oakland Raiders for two seasons, the Cleveland Browns in 2011-12 and for St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California, in 2013-14. He is one of 20 people to win a Super Bowl both as a player and a coach.

Cash was a second-team AllPac-10 cornerback while playing at USC in 2000 and ’01 for current Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. Cash was in the NFL as a player for five years, three with

MARK DUNCAN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dwaine Board, who was hired as the assistant defensive line coach, was the Seahawks’ defensive line coach from 2003 to 2008.

Detroit and 2005 and ’06 with Atlanta. He’s been at Florida A&M the last two seasons.

This is Curtis’ fourth NFL team as an assistant. The graduate of Virginia Military Institute was the safeties coach for the St. Louis Rams from 2009-11 and assistant secondary coach for the Saints from 2012 through last season.

Carroll said last month at the league’s scouting combine in Indianapolis promoted defensive assistant Rocky Seto will have more of an overarching,

multi-position role on Richard’s defense.

Richard was the Seahawks’ secondary coach before coordinator Dan Quinn left last month to become Atlanta’s head coach.

Notes Carroll met Wednesday with media attending the league meetings in Phoenix. Among other things, he reportedly told them: ■ Defensive end Cassius Marsh is fully healthy and ready to go for 2015 after breaking his foot in October.

Carroll likened the return of last season’s rookie from UCLA to getting an

extra draft pick.

■ Carroll said the Seahawks will use some of their 11 choices in next month’s draft on offensive linemen.

As well they need to.

■ The coach said he’s been speaking with Michael Bennett almost weekly since the Super Bowl and the defensive end has not once mentioned wanting a trade. That again contradicts a lone report from the Fort Worth Star Telegram last week.

■ The Seahawks hope to re-sign free-agent Stephen Schilling from Bellevue. He was one of four centers to play for Seattle last season before he went on injured reserve in November with a knee injury.

Change to extra point likely for 2015 season PHOENIX — Spice it up.

The NFL’s dullest play, the extra point, appears to be headed for some changes, perhaps significant ones, for the 2015 season.

While team owners didn’t vote on any extra-point proposals Wednesday, there was so much discussion and interest in potential changes that the issue will be a main focal point for the next set of league meetings in May. “There’s a clear movement to wanting to change and change it this year,” said Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee and president of the Falcons.

McKay’s committee will “develop alternatives and be ready for a potential vote” in two months in San Francisco.

Among the possibilities are moving the line of scrimmage back for PAT kicks; placing the ball on the 11⁄2-yard line for a 2-point conversion; eliminating the PAT kicks entirely, requiring teams to run a play from scrimmage; and allowing the defense to score, as in college football,

tract with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster.

The 6-foot-1, 241-pound Foster appeared in 57 games and made 54 starts over four seasons with the Buccaneers after being drafted in the third round out of the University of Washington in 2011. He has 341 tackles, six sacks, five interceptions and 12 pass breakups in his career.

if the ball is turned over on a 2-point try.

McKay described the discussions as “lively, with lots of ideas ... it’s time to make this a football play.”

“A couple coaches said they favor just lining up on the 2 and going for the 2-point play,” he said. “Or move the ball to the 11⁄2 for two points, or kick from the 15 for one, your choice.”

The league experimented with extra-point kicks from a longer distance last preseason.

Currently, the line of scrimmage for both an extra point and 2-point conversion try is the 2-yard line.

Voted down as the meetings concluded was Chicago’s proposal that each team get a possession in overtime regardless of what happens on the first series.

Now, if the side receiving the OT kickoff scores a touchdown, the game ends. If it kicks a field goal, the opponent gets a possession.

Unsportsmanlike penalties handed out at the end of a half now will carry over, either to the second half or to overtime.

Lining up players with eligible

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year con-

PHOENIX — Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith wouldn’t come right out and say it. He sure gave every indication that the Buccaneers were ready to make Jameis Winston the No. 1 pick in next month’s NFL draft, though.

Not that that’s any big surprise.

The Bucs have shown signs all along that the Florida State quarterback would be their choice.

Smith, speaking when NFC coaches met the media at the league meetings Wednesday, said Winston and his off-the-field issues have been researched thoroughly. The coach said he is satisfied with the results.

“You have to look a guy in the eye and feel comfortable with the answers that you’re getting,” Smith said. “and I feel comfortable with them.”

Smith said Winston knows he has made some bad decisions.

“He’s admitted the mistakes that he’s made,” the coach said. “I’m one that believes in second chances, especially young people. You can’t indict young people for some stupid things that they do early on. We all clean up.”

dental appointment that day, and McClendon made the move in an effort to give him the best chance for three at-bats before departing.

Not this time.

Even so, the idea of Weeks as a leadoff hitter is merely a

consideration at this point; and Jackson figures to remain the leadoff hitter against righthanded pitchers when Dustin Ackley replaces Weeks in left field.

But when the Mariners face a lefty, Weeks appears likely

to bat first or second in the lineup.

“Rickie has close to 3,000 at-bats in the leadoff spot,” McClendon said. “I think he has 100 home runs in the leadoff spot. There’s a lot to like about him there.”

numbers at ineligible positions, as New England did against Baltimore in the playoffs, now has more specific guidelines. Those players must line up inside the tackle box.

The owners also approved teams with retractable domes being allowed to open them at halftime, weather permitting, and allowing linebackers to wear numbers from 40-49; previously they could wear only numbers in the 50s and 90s.

Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke briefly about two highprofile personal conduct cases in which both players, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson, remain on the exempt list.

Goodell said the league continues to review Hardy’s case to determine if discipline is warranted. Hardy signed earlier this month with Dallas.

Goodell said the date for Adrian Peterson’s suspension to end remains April 15. The Vikings running back had the ban overturned by appeal, a decision the NFL now is appealing itself.

Bear sign Foster

Bucs’ Smith on Winston

Did right-hander Taijuan Walker lock down the final spot in the Mariners’ rotation Wednesday night by pitching six scoreless — and dominant — innings against the Cubs?

Manager Lloyd McClendon shook his head.

What more does Walker have to do?

“Stay consistent; keep pitching well,” McClendon said. “He threw up a lot of zeroes and pitched well. He fatigued a little bit in the sixth, but I thought he threw the ball extremely well.”

Walker gave up just two hits, both singles, while walking one and striking out six. He threw 57 of 82 pitches for strikes and extended his spring scoreless streak to 18 innings through five starts.

“It feels good,” Walker said. “I’m just trying to go out there and attack, really.

Everything feels really good. Mechanics, arm, everything.”

Play of the game

Walker’s only jam came in the sixth when he allowed a walk and a single with one out. Dexter Fowler then sent a sharp grounder up the middle.

Second baseman Robinson Cano backhanded the ball and flipped it to shortstop Brad Miller, who threw to first for the out.

Plus

Mike Zunino marked his 24th birthday with a homer to right field on an off-speed pitch in the fifth inning from Cubs starter Travis Wood. ... Robinson Cano had a single that set up the Mariners’ first run in the first and added a RBI double in the fifth that made it 3-0. ... Closer Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless seventh inning and has not allowed a run in six one-inning outings.

Minus

There wasn’t much not to like until the ninth inning, when reliever Dominic Leone permitted four of the first five batters to reach safely. The Cubs scored twice, but Leone stranded the tying and go-ahead runs by retiring the final two hitters.

Job battles

Leone has four scoreless outings this spring, but he’s allowed nine runs and eight hits over 11⁄3 innings in his other two appearances. The guy he might be battling for a spot, Carson Smith, retired the only two batters he faced in the eighth. Smith has four scoreless outings in his last five appearances. ... Lefty Tyler Olson retired the only batter he faced and has not allowed an earned run in 81⁄3 innings. ... Reliever Danny Farquhar shifted to a minor-league game Wednesday and worked a one-two-three inning with two strikeouts.

Quotable

“I told (Walker) that if he can stay at that effort level,” Zunino said, “that’s all he needs. Sometimes, guys get in a habit where they’re throwing easy like that and getting outs — and then they want to do more.”

Extra innings

Shortstop Chris Taylor is already fielding grounders in workouts after suffering a broken right wrist on March 13 when hit by a foul. He was expected to miss four-to-six weeks. ... Catcher Jesus Sucre, who left Sunday’s game because of a sore hip, played the final three innings.

Up next

The Mariners have their second and final split-squad doubleheader Thursday when one squad plays Kansas City at Peoria Stadium and the other travels to Maryvale to play Milwaukee.

Record-high: 6 teams with at least 10 losses in Sweet 16

West Regional Los Angeles Thursday’s games Wisconsin (33-3) vs. North Carolina (26-11), 4:47 p.m.

Arizona (33-3) vs. Xavier (2313), 7:17 p.m.

The NCAA Tournament has never had so many teams with so many losses make it so far.

Six of the regional semifinalists have 10 or more losses, including three with 13. The reaction around college basketball has been a collective shrug.

There simply are more opportunities to lose nowadays.

That’s because teams are playing more regular-season games than ever, and top programs are trying to schedule mostly high-caliber nonconference opponents which can enhance their resumes for NCAA Tournament selection and seeding.

“There was a time years and years ago where you’d feel like if you had 20 wins you’d get in the tournament,” North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried said.

“Now it comes down to who you schedule. You may lose some games because you’re playing a difficult nonconference schedule. And then in our league, it’s tough night in and night out with 18 games in the ACC.” Gottfried’s Wolfpack, Xavier and UCLA all have 13 losses

— Mark Gottfried North Carolina State coach

heading into this week’s games.

Michigan State and North Carolina have 11 each and Oklahoma has 10.

The previous record for number of Sweet 16 teams with double-digit losses was five, last year and in 1985 and 1986, according to STATS. The only other time there were even two 13-loss teams was 2000.

The NCAA has allowed teams to play as many as 31 regular-season games since 2006-07. Before that the maximum was 28. With conference tournaments, some teams now play 34 or 35 games before the NCAA Tournament. As of this week, 58 teams had played at least 35 games. A decade ago, only 13 teams played that many.

Other factors, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said, are that high major teams are beating each other

up in conference play, and premier programs are sought out for made-for-TV nonconference games.

Beating a heavyweight can help a lot, and losing to one might only hurt a little in the eyes of the NCAA selection committee.

N.C. State (22-13), which plays Louisville (26-8) in Syracuse, New York, on Friday, used strong nonconference schedules to get off the NCAA bubble in 2012 and 2014. This season the Wolfpack played tournament teams Boise State, Wofford, Cincinnati and Purdue before losing twice to Virginia, splitting meetings with North Carolina and beating Duke and Louisville in ACC play.

Xavier (23-13), which plays Arizona (33-3) in Los Angeles on Thursday, lost nine games in the Big East. That conference sent six teams to the NCAA Tournament, and Xavier is the only one still standing.

“I think it’s great that the Big East has been able to test us with some really tough teams,” center Matt Stainbrook said, “and I think the fact that we’ve grown as a team together has made us really special at this point.”

UCLA (22-13), which plays Gonzaga (34-2) in Houston on

Saturday, might be the most charmed of the 13-loss teams.

The Bruins won their tournament opener over SMU thanks to a 3-point goaltending call on the final play, and in their second game they drew a 14th-seeded UAB team coming off an upset of Iowa State. A No. 14 hasn’t won more than one game in the tournament since 1997.

Double-digit loss teams meet in Syracuse on Friday when Michigan State (25-11) takes on Oklahoma (24-10). The Spartans lost to heavyweights Duke, Kansas and Notre Dame before they were beaten six times in the Big Ten. Oklahoma wouldn’t have 10 losses if it weren’t for, as Bilas said, “slipping on banana peels” against Creighton and Washington.

As for North Carolina (26-11), which plays Wisconsin (33-3) in Los Angeles on Thursday, there’s no shame in what it did against the nation’s second-toughest schedule.

“They played Kentucky, they played Virginia twice, they played Duke twice, they played Notre Dame twice. That’s why they have 11 losses,” Bilas said. “It’s not because they (stink).”

COURTESY THOMAS FAMILY FARMS

Wedding attendants dance in the Thomas Family Farm barn during a wedding reception held inside the barn.

Line up for a barn wedding Farms in Snohomish County are finding new life for couples tying the knot

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Debbie Thomas never imagined that her role as a dairy wife might include renting out the family’s barn for weddings.

But when milk prices took a dip, farmers took the hit.

The number of licensed dairy farms in Snohomish County declined from about 655 in 1959 to about 28 in 2010.

Being able to save their barns and their surrounding farmland was important to the local farmers. So Snohomish County wrote codes that allowed farmers to renovate their barns and welcome people to rent them for weddings and other events.

Marv and Dennis Thomas and their wives (both named

Debbie) at Thomas Family Farm at Highway 9 and Marsh Road decided to give it a shot. Last year they welcomed their first wedding party at what they call the Crossroads.

In doing so they joined a league of people in the county who are riding the wave of popularity in barn weddings.

Alissa Lawton, a Mill Creek-based wedding planner, and her husband, Craig, got married at Craven Farm, also in the Snohomish River Valley.

“Lord Hill Farms was one of the first to get into events and my cousin got married there,” Lawton said. “I think the popularity of farm weddings has been growing steadily for the past 10 years.”

The Thomas family first converted their 50-year-old barn for October harvest and Halloween events, another way in which they and other farmers have diversified their incomes.

“The barn used to hold 600 heifers and now it can hold 620 humans,” said Marv Thomas. “It took two years to convert. We had help from a structural engineer and encouragement from the county planning department.”

The Thomas brothers and their sons still grow a variety of crops and last year a corn field was just steps from the barn.

“People like that,” Marv’s wife Debbie said. “They like the feel of this beautiful valley.”

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

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

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

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

Time to get those cool season veggies planted F

Barns From Page D1

Debbie and Marv Thomas, both Snohomish High School graduates, got married in a church in Snohomish and their reception was at Normanna Hall in Everett. That was pretty standard back then, they said.

“Today, I think people want to be more relaxed and have indoor and outdoor elements in their ceremonies,” Debbie said.

“But barns can be dressed up to feel almost like cathedrals and lots of people can attend.”

The Thomas family farm sits in the flood plain, so the family takes a break from renting out their barn in the winter months when flooding is possible. Most weddings there are scheduled from May through September.

The farmers in Snohomish Valley tend to help each other with their wedding venues, loaning each other chairs and other equipment as necessary.

“We farmers were friends first,” Marv said.

“The Krauses at Swans Trail Farms and the Stockers at Red Barn Events have been very kind to us.”

Many of the farmers belong to the Snohomish Wedding Guild, Debbie said. A tour May 31 will allow future brides and grooms to take a look at all of the local venues.

Working farms are naturally dirty places and the families have labored to clean up, add flowers and landscaping.

Inside their barn, the Thomas family remodeled the grain room into the bridal party dressing room, complete with lights and mirrors. They added a commercial kitchen. And they hired Lawton and her business partner, Meredith Geffert, of Maris Events, to provide the initial decorating of the barn, including lights and drapes.

“It was fun to come in and help make the most of the space,” Lawton said.

“The Crossroads barn is beautiful. And I think people appreciate the agriculture community

that really separates cool season crops from the next group called warm season crops. (A soil thermometer will help you discover your soil temperature.) Warm season veggies are those that get planted in May and June when the soil — hopefully — has warmed up to above 55 degrees.

Getting the soil prepared as soon as possible by tilling and working in plenty of compost and organic fertilizer will help get air into the soil and consequently warm things up.

Raised beds are superb for warming up soil early because the sun will not only shine on the soil surface but also the sides of

the beds. Gardeners can also put black plastic over a garden bed in the winter to keep water out, the weeds from germinating and the heat in. We can talk more about these tricks when we get into warm season veggies in May. Fortunately for cool season veggies we are not as concerned about soil temperature as with tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers — all of which will rot if planted now. For planting this time of year the most important tasks are getting rid of winter weeds, amending the beds with fresh compost and incorporating some slow release organic fertilizer. Then it’s

and the pretty scenery in the country, that’s why they want barn weddings.”

Most of the weddings the Maris Events crew oversees in upscale Seattle don’t include country music, but fans of country and bluegrass do love barn weddings.

“It’s about a laid-back, hospitable, self-sufficient and family-oriented lifestyle,” Lawton said. “We still see a lot of church weddings, but then people might move to a barn for their reception. With most barn owners you have more flexibility to do what you want than you would in a hotel downtown.”

While the rustic and shabby chic decorations are beginning to wane, barns also lend themselves to more glamorous settings, including neutral colors such as champagne and natural linen, along with the understated, elegant use of silver, copper and gold.

“The big color this year is marsala wine, a red-brown that goes well in barns,” Lawton said.

When people enter the Crossroads barn for the first time, most are surprised, Debbie Thomas said.

“They stand there and say, ‘Wow!’ And that is wonderful for us,” she said.

WHAT: Muscari armeniacum Known to most gardeners as the trouble-free, no care grape hyacinth, their small flowers resemble upside-down grapes, and the corms are widely available for fall planting.

In the Puget Sound, they typically begin blooming in early February, and when planted en masse, they are a welcome sight after the long gray winter. An additional benefit of these hardy little plants is that they are fragrant and are a perfect choice for indoor plant arrangements. Like daffodils, they naturalize and spread over time, creating swaths of color. In

A: Globe Furniture Co. of Cincinnati bought Wernicke Co. of Minneapolis in 1899 to form the Globe-Wernicke Co. Otto Wernicke had patented his sectional bookcase in 1892 and it became a best-seller for the company. The bookcases, made in oak, ash, walnut or mahogany, became known as “barrister bookcases.” They were sold not only to lawyers, but to libraries, government offices and storefronts. Today, the bookcases are sought by collectors. A five-shelf unit in excellent condition would sell for more than $1,000.

just a matter of deciding if we want to plant seeds or transplants.

Most root crops like carrots and radishes can only be planted from seed, while others like beets can be purchased already sprouted.

If you have planted seeds in the past and found that they are too close together try using a seed tape or disc that has the seeds prespaced. Botanical Interest Seed Company sells several varieties in these tapes and discs and it makes life easier.

For crops like cabbage and broccoli, it makes more sense to buy a half dozen transplants rather than mess around with a

March and April is what we call the “cool season.”

Words of comfort sometimes don’t help

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Friends lost a young child to a terminal illness, and one half of the couple has recently divulged publicly a list of things people said to them that they “shouldn’t” have.

Among what not to say were things that seem to me to be authentic sentiments like, “I haven’t said anything because I don’t know what to say,” “I can’t imagine what you’re going through,” “You’re so strong,” or even calling your own living children certain nicknames that have special meaning to parents of deceased children.

Learning that my (and others’) efforts of verbal support may have had unintended consequences rubs me the wrong way. Where is the border between having on blinders due to grief and not realizing that people are just trying their best, versus unreasonable expectations for others to say exactly what you want to hear? Are these statements that you’re really not supposed to say to people dealing with such tragedy?

— Told What Not to Say It has been well established in this forum and others that wellmeaning words at times of grief can easily be, or just be perceived as, insensitive. And, what is the perfect

— The Ex at the Wedding Yep. Congratulations on your equanimity and insight. Your work is done here.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT thing to say to one grieving person is a slap in the face to another.

Because these friends just lost a child, I think the best way to approach it is with a free pass.

They’re devastated. Their pain is spilling over the loss itself and onto everything related to the loss.

You, as the not- (or less-) devastated party, are the one who is able to absorb this, so just absorb it.

Dear Carolyn: My ex is marrying the woman he cheated on me with, and I’m happy for them. Hindsight has helped me understand that Ex and I were totally wrong for each other and everything worked out for the best.

Then, yesterday, I got an invitation to their wedding. To say I was surprised is an understatement.

I’m free to RSVP “not attending” and forget about this, right?

Dear Carolyn: My friend and I live in different cities, so don’t see each other often, but we do talk on the phone often (usually initiated by her when she’s driving to/from work).

I enjoy our chats, but I also make an effort to visit her and to attend celebrations for her and her family’s life-events. She has older children, I have none. At the very least, I will send a gift.

She simply does not reciprocate.

I love her, but I feel that it’s unfair that the friendship is on her terms, with no effort to connect in ways that are meaningful to me. I’ve already told her that I wish she visited me, that it hurts my feelings when she says she will attend an event but then doesn’t. I guess I don’t know what the next step is after you ask someone you love for something, and they can’t give it.

— Anonymous Having already articulated your needs, you now either continue the friendship on the available terms, or you end it. Bluntly stated, but that’s the crossroads you’ve reached.

Short-cut cooking source of wife’s guilt Dear Abby: I am a fulltime working woman, part-time student and new wife to an incredible husband. We’re in our mid-20s and have been living together for a year, but I have a problem that I’m still unsure about.

Growing up I never learned to cook. The first meal I ever made was spaghetti when my husband (then fiance) and I moved into our home. My issue is, I HATE cooking. I don’t have the patience for it and neither does my husband.

Should I be ashamed that I indulge in “box” dinners that take little time to prepare? Naturally, I cook meat and vegetables to go along with them, but is it shameful when a wife doesn’t cook everything from scratch? My husband doesn’t mind, but I worry.

— New Wife In North Carolina Dear New Wife: Because many couples both work, many husbands and wives take turns cooking or prepare dinner together. (“Honey, I’ll do the salad and vegetables; you fix the chicken/fish/chops on the grill.”) The problem with prepackaged meals is that many of them contain more sodium and/or other additives that nutritionists say are bad for one’s health when consumed on a regular basis, so I think you do have cause for concern.

The most important ingredient in a lasting marriage is a partner who lasts, so if you want yours to last, be vigilant about what you put in your stomachs.

Dear Abby: I’m a 29-yearold woman and I have been with my fiance, “Gary,” for three years. We became engaged six months ago.

responded with, “There are things that have to be resolved before I can even think about getting married.” In the discussion that followed, he said I need to get a better-paying job so I can contribute to the renovations on the house, buy my own personal items and have a shorter commute.

I’m hurt because I believe marriage is about committing to the person you love. I also realize you can’t live on love alone.

Am I overly sensitive about this? Is Gary’s request reasonable, or do you think he’s just looking for an excuse not to get married?

— Love Above All In New York Dear Love Above All: Pay attention to what your fiance said because it appears he has unilaterally mapped out your future for you. This sounds less like a request to me than a demand. Open your eyes and keep talking with him.

Did he specify whether your name will be on the deed to the house you will contribute to renovating?

(I hope so.) I also hope you will be lucky enough to find a higher-paying job with a shorter commute, because not everyone is able to do that. Because I believe in both love and practicality, I think it’s important you and Gary have premarital counseling together to clarify whether you’re on the same page regarding finances.

Barnett’s new album offers incisive songs

Bryant Gumbel’s ‘Real Sports’ marks 20 years of hard-hitting journalism

Young Australian guitarist, singer and songwriter Courtney Barnett lives up to her promise on her second album.

“Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit” confirms that the first-blush crush wasn’t misguided.

Incisive, cutting and verbally dexterous, if a little overwhelming in a single sitting, Barnett’s best new songs — “Pedestrian at Best,” “Depreston” and “Debbie Downer” among them — inject memorable heft into rock terrain formerly explored by Polly Jean Harvey, the young Elvis Costello, and Kurt Cobain.

Take “Nobody Really Cares if You Don’t Go to the Party,” a striking, hard-strummed jam about lethargy, isolation and night life. After a friend pressures her for a night on the town while maracas shake in quick rhythm, Barnett declines, singing, “I’d rather stay in bed with the rain over my head / Than have to pick my brain up off the floor.”

Wordy? A bit. Barnett could use an editor.

The details, though, make “Sometimes I Sit” instantly alluring, and her guitar playing is just as eloquent. Whether banging Nirvana-heavy chords or dotting out Pixies-esque guitar lines Barnett bursts with inspiration.

Bryant Gumbel’s “Real Sports” focuses on the NCAA this week during March Madness. As is typical of the HBO newsmagazine that marks its 20th year on air, the focus won’t be on jump shots or bracket busting.

Scheduled reports will discuss the lack of long-term medical care for athletes injured during college sports, and the pressure placed on students to perform or lose their scholarships. A roundtable discussion to follow will feature Kirk Schulz, chairman of the NCAA board of governors.

“We wanted to do something that is not a sycophantic look at what is going on,” Gumbel said Monday.

“We wanted to take a critical look at the NCAA’s relationship with its athletes and the extent to which it is functioning properly.”

That’s typical territory for “Real Sports.” Gumbel was still a “Today” show anchor when the HBO program began in 1995, airing four times a year initially. It bumped up to six and now is once a month.

“Real Sports” has taken a lead in coverage of concussions in sports and won awards for stories about racism at European soccer matches, baseball recruiting in the Dominican Republic and boys forced to be camel jockeys in the United Arab Emirates.

February’s edition had a typical mix: a David Scott report on the dangers faced by Sherpas guiding inexperienced tourists up Mount Everest, a Soledad O’Brien story on injured athletes who shift from painkillers to heroin and a Jon Frankel

profile of snowboard star Amy Purdy, a double amputee.

“The mandate is pretty much the same — to tell good stories, to highlight social issues involving sports,” Gumbel said. “But I think we’ve become better at doing it. Like anything else, you figure out how best to get to where you want to get. Our correspondents are far better.”

The January episode, with former Chicago Bears talking about the physical toll of playing in the NFL, was seen by 3.8 million people, the biggest audience the show has had in eight years.

set time slot; it will premiere on a Tuesday night each month, it’s just never clear which Tuesday. While HBO has raised the profile of John Oliver’s weekly show by pushing out his segments online, rights clearances prevent “Real Sports” from getting the same attention.

Gumbel, 66, is in the second year of a four-year contract for “Real Sports.” He shuttles between homes in Florida and New York, and besides anchoring the show, does six to eight stories a year. His interviewing skills are most readily apparent when he debriefs correspondents in the studio after their stories air.

When asked how long he wants to continue, he draws a comparison between a phenom pitcher and a veteran working on guile.

“The older you get, you’re not as sharp as you were,” he said. “You’re just not. That’s a plain and simple truth ... When I was younger pitcher, I’d not only throw nine innings, I’d tell you what’s coming and throw it right by you. Now I know I can’t go nine. I can maybe give you three innings. I can get a batter out every now and then. I’m a bit more savvy.

I’m more of a pitcher than a thrower, but I’m not nearly the pitcher I used to be.”

The difficulty is knowing what he’ll be like at 69, when his current contract is up.

“I never want to be a burden to the staff or to the viewers,” he said.

“I never want to be the guy who’s there because he used to be Bryant Gumbel.”
