Kelley has said little about the federal probe, other than stating that he is puzzled by the inquiry.

In 2012, he contended that he’d paid all taxes he owed.

In 2010, Kelley, then a state representative from Pierce County, was accused of theft and fraud in a federal civil lawsuit. He settled

the claim out of court without admitting wrongdoing.

His business partner, Old Republic Title, used Kelley’s escrow company to collect fees from customers who paid off their mortgages. Old Republic claimed that Kelley pocketed $1.2 million which he should have returned to their clients.

EVERETT — Not long after 15-year-old Molly Conley was gunned down in 2013 in Lake Stevens, her parents asked that their daughter be remembered for how she lived, not how she died.

Molly walked through life with grace and kindness, her family said. She inspired her parents, siblings, friends and classmates

to be their best selves. She was brave and true. The Bishop Blanchet High School freshman from Seattle was an enthusiastic competitor on the lacrosse and soccer fields. She was nicknamed “4.0” because of her impeccable grade point average.

Her dad on Monday again asked that his daughter be remembered for her meaningful life and the joy she brought others.

John Conley is visibly upset Monday outside the Snohomish County Courthouse following a jury verdict of manslaughter for Erick Walker, who killed his 15-year-old daughter, Molly, during a shooting spree in Lake Stevens.

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council chose a staffer from Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen’s Everett office Monday to be the county’s ombudsman.

Jill McKinnie has spent most her career of three-plus decades handling constituent outreach for Larsen and other congressional Democrats. She’s expected to start her new role at the county in late April.

“My vision for the office is to be a very energetic advocate on behalf of Jill McKinnie the citizens,” McKinnie said Monday.

For her, that means making sure that people feel valued when they come to her office for help.

Part of her job is recommending better ways for the county to do business “as I come across them.”

The job has been vacant since Jan. 1.

The council voted 3-1 for McKinnie’s appointment. Her term is two years.

She was one of two candidates county Executive John Lovick nominated. The other was James Krider, a Republican who served two terms as the county’s prosecuting attorney, from 1995 to 2002. Both sat for interviews with the County Council last week.

Councilman Ken Klein, the only Republican on the council, cast the “no” vote. His objection was the process, not the nominees.

Klein said he was disappointed

CHICAGO — An apple a day doesn’t necessarily keep the doctor away. That’s according to proverb-busting research that found daily apple eaters had just as many doctor visits as those who ate fewer or no apples.

The findings don’t mean apples aren’t good for you but they do underscore that it takes more than just one kind of food to make a healthy diet and avoid illness.

About one-third of the adults studied said they had no more than one doctor visit in the previous year; the remainder reported at least two visits.

Lovick created the ombudsman’s office as part of the 2014 county budget.

The executive, a Democrat, appointed former Republican County Councilman John Koster as the first person in the job. Last year, Koster fielded 133 complaints and inquiries. The

Law enforcement, public works and human services also were common subjects of complaints.

Apples also contain small amounts of vitamin A, calcium and iron.

The proverb is thought to have originated in Wales in the 1800s. Apples, which have a long shelf life, were likely one of the few fruits that were available throughout the year, said Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University professor of nutrition science and policy. She wasn’t involved in the study.

Nutritionists generally agree that apples can be a good food choice. But, said Dr. Steven Zeisel, director of the University of North Carolina’s Nutrition Research Institute, “One apple isn’t going to be enough to make a difference unless it’s part of a healthy food pattern.”

Stanwood aims to define ‘dangerous dog’ The proposed ordinance would remove the limit on the number of cats a pet owner can have.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

STANWOOD — City leaders are considering new animal control regulations that would define what makes a dog dangerous or

potentially dangerous.

The proposed ordinance also lays out an appeal process for owners of such dogs, updates exotic animal restrictions and removes limitations on cat ownership.

The City Council voted

unanimously Thursday to move forward with adopting the new rules. A final vote is scheduled for April 9.

City officials and police say they haven’t heard from the public about the changes, though dangerous dog rules have been known to spark heated debate in communities around the country.

Usually, breed restrictions cause

the most concern, and Stanwood’s proposal doesn’t fall into that category, City Administrator Deborah Knight said.

The ordinance defines a dangerous dog as one that severely injures a human without provocation; kills a domestic animal without provocation while off the dog owner’s property; or was classified as potentially dangerous

She’s a life changer

and attacks or endangers someone.

A potentially dangerous dog is one that has bitten a human or domestic animal, or has chased or tried to attack someone on public property, like a park or sidewalk.

to accomplish that and see the result of your efforts,” he said.

Over the years, though, fire fatalities stayed with him.

“You just think to yourself, ‘If only, if only there’d been adequate smoke alarms or if only people hadn’t been lying down while smoking,’ things like that,” he said. “I’ve seen my share of tragedy, that’s for sure. I think one of the ways people in this business survive is to look for bright spots in everyday situations.”

People could count on

OLYMPIA ­— Tension between the state House and Senate escalated Monday over a controversial bill that would require school districts to use student test scores in teacher evaluations.

Several hundred people attended a hearing on the bill before the House Education Committee, after which the panel’s leader said it won’t advance before a mid-week deadline to act on non-budget bills.

“I don’t have any more meetings left before the policy cut-off date,” said Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos, D-Seattle, the veteran committee chairwoman.

While that would seem to imply the bill is dead, the bill’s Republican sponsor vowed to keep it alive.

Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, said he will add the bill’s key provisions to a different bill in the Senate.

“Obviously the chairwoman of the House committee did not feel the bill was ready to be voted on,” said Litzow, who is chair of the Senate education committee.

“We’re providing an opportunity for the whole House to consider regaining the waiver.”

Monday’s twist and turn reflects the divide among lawmakers over how to respond to the state’s loss in 2014 of its waiver of the federal No Child Left Behind law. Washington is the only state to lose the waiver.

That meant the state and 297 public school districts couldn’t spend about $40 million in federal money on struggling students the way they wanted. It also meant that 1,916 schools across the state were deemed as failing by the U.S. Department of Education, and letters had to be sent to parents explaining why.

Federal education officials have made clear that the state will only get its waiver back once it changes how teachers are evaluated, requiring that test scores be included.

Under Senate Bill 5748, student scores on standardized tests would be part of the teacher evaluation process starting with the 2017-18 school year. Districts and teachers unions could negotiate how big or small a factor those scores would be in performance reviews.

At Monday’s hearing, 362 people signed up to testify, of whom only 18 supported the bill, Santos said. Only a handful got to speak due to time constraints, though Santos made sure supporters and opponents received equal time to

Jenny Granger, a librarian at Emerson Elementary School, receives a hug from her daughter, Hannah, 10, after receiving national recognition as a “Life Changer of the Year” Friday morning in Snohomish.Granger was selected as one of the top 10 life changing educators from more than 600 nominees across the county.

Librarian nationally recognized for helping kids keep reading skills

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — The photographers tipped her off.

Jenny Granger, a librarian at Snohomish’s Emerson Elementary, suspected something was up at the Friday school assembly, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. So she was surprised to learn that she was receiving national recognition as a “Life Changer of the Year.” That’s why reporters and photographers were there.

Granger was honored for converting an old yellow school bus

into a rolling library that brings books to low-income neighborhoods and places where children gather in Snohomish during the summer.

“This is overwhelming,” she said. “But the project really depended on a lot of people. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears.”

At Friday’s assembly, students and staff clapped and cheered for their librarian. They were told she was selected as one of the top 10 life-changing educators from more than 600 nominees across the county.

“I should have clapped more,”

Emerson third-grader Jaden Riffe, 8, whispered.

The award came with $1,500 for Granger and another $1,500 for Emerson Elementary. Principal Craig Church gave Granger the school’s money to invest in her book bus. He hopes the award will help put more energy into her project and attract more volunteers and donations.

“This shows that somebody’s little idea can grow into amazing things and touch people’s hearts,” Church said.

The National Life Group, a Vermont-headquartered company that provides financial

services for educators, pays for the award program. A committee of past winners chooses the recipients.

“Changing lives for good is something we can all value,” said Bob Johnson, the company’s field vice president in Auburn.

“That’s what educators do all of their working lives.”

Granger’s mother, Rob Graham, came to the school assembly from Bellingham on Friday. She said she wasn’t surprised when her daughter wanted to spend her summer See BOOKS, Page A4

Retiring fire chief holds on to the ‘bright spots’

LAKE STEVENS — Dave Lingenfelter loved being a paramedic because it kept him guessing.

In recent years, his challenge turned to making sure the Lake Stevens fire district weathered the recession.

Lingenfelter, 67, retired Tuesday as fire chief. The new chief, Kevin O’Brien, starts April 15.

Lingenfelter grew up in north Seattle and moved to Lake Stevens as a teen. He worked in the floor-covering business for 17

years after graduating from Lake Stevens High School.

At one point, two brothers-inlaw were working on ambulances Fire Chief for Cascade Val- Dave ley Hospital in Lingenfelter Arlington. Lingenfelter took an interest in their jobs and found himself in paramedic school. He stayed at Cascade for more than a decade.

break getting kids to do more reading.

“She’s just always loved books,” Graham said.

Granger has long had her sights on beating the “summer slide.” That’s a term educators use to describe a general drop in student scores between tests in June and September. Granger says a big factor is the fact that kids don’t read as much during the summer.

So she decided to do something about it. Granger opened the school library for a few hours each week during the summer of 2012.

But many students didn’t have a ride to the school.

In 2013, she tried the traveling library approach in a 1970s van. That was tough because tubs of books had to be lugged in and out of the red van at each stop.

Last summer, she turned a bus into a roving bookmobile. The Book Cafe makes stops that coincide with the times and locations of subsidized summer lunch programs.

Granger encourages kids to come aboard and pick

out books.

“You can get as many books as you want,” said sixth-grader Leslie Hernandez, 12. “And you can keep them or return them.”

Inside the bus, the books are shelved in wooden boxes similar to those in a record store so kids can see the illustrations on the front as they sort through titles.

“They have good books that I like,” said Emerson fifth-grader Jessica Rojas, 11, noting that her favorites include realistic fiction and books with chapters.

The bus looks cartoonish, with hot-pink eyelashes over the headlights. The extendable stop sign that was used to stop traffic while loading and unloading kids now says “Read.”

For the first time this summer, students will be able to download e-books on the bus. Granger also hopes to add a couple of stops to the route.

Kim Heinemann, the district’s administrative assistant, nominated Granger for the award.

“It makes a big difference,” Heinemann said.

“She truly changes lives.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PUGET SOUND ENERGY CUSTOMERS ABOUT PROPOSED CHANGES IN RATES Puget Sound Energy recently filed requests with the state Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to adjust electric and natural gas rates. The requested changes, proposed to be effective on May 1, 2015, include: • Conservation Program Charge (listed on statement): An increase in both electric and natural gas rates to offset the costs of investments made in energy efficiency programs that are made available to customers.

• Property Tax Adjustment: An increase in electric rates to pass through costs of PSE’s property tax charges. The proposed increase would be reflected in the Electric Energy Charge listed on the electric statement. There is no change to the Delivery Charge listed on the natural gas statement.

• Revenue Decoupling Adjustment: An increase in electric and natural gas rates under the decoupling mechanism, which adjusts rates up or down based on allowed revenue and projected revenue for the year.

• Jefferson PUD Sale Credit (listed on statement): An electric-rate decrease to pass through the remaining share of the proceeds from PSE’s sale of the electric system that previously served a portion of Jefferson County. Due to warm temperatures resulting in lower energy use in December 2014 when the credit first was applied to bills, PSE requests to pass through the remaining payout to customers based on electricity used May 1–31, 2015.

If approved by the UTC, the requests, excluding the Jefferson PUD sale credit, will increase electric rates by an overall average of 3.03 percent and natural gas rates by an overall average of 2.26 percent.

For the typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month, the proposed adjustments, excluding the Jefferson PUD sale credit, will result in an overall increase of $3.75 per month.

The overall average increase for electric customers, excluding the Jefferson PUD sale credit, is as follows:

Lingenfelter since he was a hospital paramedic, being summoned to calls in Corn’s district.

“He was always a very good paramedic who provided really high-quality patient care,” Corn said.

Lingenfelter helped other leaders be successful, particularly when it came to the medical aspects of the job, said Travis Hots, the fire chief for Getchell and rural Arlington.

“Dave was always a person I could call if I had questions or concerns, and he would usually guide me in the right direction,” Hots said.

Hots also worked directly

for Lingenfelter for a time in Lake Stevens. The older chief was fair and reasonable and only signed off on projects that had clear and concise plans, Hots said.

Lingenfelter taught his

chief within five days of being notified that their pet is listed as dangerous or potentially dangerous.

The appeal would go to the Stanwood hearing examiner for consideration.

Owners of dangerous dogs are required to pay higher licensing fees, get their pet chipped, muzzle the dog in public and have a secure kennel at home. It can be costly, Hawkins said.

The new rules also would require a dog to be quarantined after biting someone unless the owner has proof of a current rabies vaccination.

Police occasionally respond to reports of aggressive or biting dogs, but it hasn’t been a big problem for the city, Hawkins said.

No specific event inspired

the review of animal control regulations. The city’s rules were simply outdated.

“We’ve had dog bites, but nothing that would reach the level of a dangerous dog,” he said. “But the reality is that could happen and we weren’t prepared.”

When city staff went through the dangerous dog section, they realized the city’s animal control regulations needed to be overhauled, Knight said.

The new ordinance would formally adopt state law prohibiting people from owning, breeding, buying or selling exotic or wild and dangerous animals. The state’s list includes wolves, bears, venomous snakes, rhinoceroses, elephants and large cats like lions and tigers.

Reception A retirement reception for Lake Stevens Fire Chief Dave Lingenfelter is planned from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the fire district conference center, 10518 18th St. SE. For more information about the event, call 425-334-3034.

Lingenfelter and his wife, Patti, have been married more than 40 years. They have three children and eight grandchildren. After retiring, they plan to visit family in Texas and Arizona and to spend time in Chelan.

Lingenfelter also wants to do more walking, fishing and hiking, and to try new things.

Also, the city’s rules previously capped the number of dogs a person could own without a kennel license at four and the number of cats at four. The new ordinance would keep the dog limitation but remove the limit on cats. However, people should still be responsible pet owners and cannot have so many cats that they become a nuisance or start getting hurt or neglected, Hawkins said.

The Stanwood City Council also is scheduled to review animal licensing fees during the April 9 meeting, Knight said.

A new fee chart proposed by city staff would double the cost to license a dog — currently $25 per dog, discounted to $5 if the animal is spayed or neutered — and increase commercial kennel fees from $25 to $175. City Council members also might eliminate the lifetime fee, meaning that people would need to renew their dog’s license every year. People who already have a lifetime license would not be affected.

Seattle: Man convicted of murder will testify A trial begins Tuesday to determine whether a man convicted of killing six members of Carnation family should be sentenced to death or life in prison.

Joseph McEnroe was convicted last week of six counts of aggravated firstdegree murder. The Seattle Times reported that the 36-year-old is expected to testify during the penalty phase of his trial.

Prosecutors say McEnroe and his former girlfriend, Michele Anderson, shot and killed six members of Anderson’s family on Christmas Eve 2007.

Record number of college applicants A record number of students have applied to Washington’s six public universities this year.

Those numbers include a growing group of applicants from low-income families who would qualify for a state scholarship through the College Bound program.

The Seattle Times reported more than 75,000 students have applied to attend university in Washington state, mostly in-state students.

Porn case, Navy snooping revisited The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear a case in which a three-judge panel last year threw out the child-pornography conviction of a Washington state man over what it found to be “massive” and egregious illegal surveillance into civilian computers by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS. Judges will reconsider whether to suppress evidence gathered by the NCIS against Michael Allen Dreyer, which led to his 2012 conviction for possession and distribution of child pornography.

Dreyer, of Algona, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Bellingham: kayaker dies on Nooksack River Authorities said a 52-year-old man who recently moved to Washington from California drowned while kayaking on the Nooksack River near Glacier, Washington.

The Bellingham Herald reported that Holdeen Cushing-Murray of Bellingham became trapped underwater Saturday in a log jam. Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks sais two fellow kayakers and nearby residents tried to pull him free but the current was too strong for them. Parks says by the time other rescuers arrived, the man had been

Federal Way: Police shoot man holding a knife Federal Way police said one of its officers shot a man who refused orders to drop a knife.

The police department said in a statement that an officer responded to a report of an assault at about 6:30 a.m. Monday. The officer spotted a man who matched the suspect’s description.

Police said the man was holding a knife and refused orders to drop the weapon.

The officer shot the man, who ran from the scene and was taken into custody by other officers.

Police said the man was conscious when he was taken to Harborview Medical Center. He has not been identified.

Olympia: Minimum wage debate draws crowd A politically charged proposal to raise Washington’s highest-in-the-nation state minimum wage to $12 an hour over four years drew extended debate and a capacity crowd to a Senate committee hearing Monday.

The bill to raise minimum wage, via a series of annual 50-cent increases, passed the Democrat-controlled House in a party-line vote earlier in March and has a Wednesday deadline to get voted out of committee in the Republican-led Senate.

Washington’s hourly minimum wage is $9.47.

Inslee suspends state-funded travel to Indiana Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee said he is imposing an administration-wide ban on state-funded travel to Indiana after the passage of a new law that critics say has the potential to discriminate against gays and lesbians and others based on religious beliefs.

The governor’s statement Monday comes a few days after Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, who is the city’s first openly gay mayor, banned city-funded travel to the state. Inslee invited those who have said they will not locate or expand business operations in Indiana to come to Washington state.

Oregon: Briton guilty of setting up terror camp in Bly A British man has pleaded guilty to federal charges in New York that he plotted to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.

Haroon Aswat pleaded guilty Monday to supporting terrorism and conspiracy. He could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Aswat conspired with a radical cleric to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon, 15 years ago. He was arrested in 2005 in Zambia and later brought to Great Britain.

He fought extradition for several years before being sent to the United States in 2014 to face the terror charges. His lawyers said he’s been treated for mental illness. He is to be sentenced July 31.

Supporters of the bill cited the importance of regaining control of how that $40 million in federal money is spent. They also insisted that the bill would allow districts and

teachers unions to agree to make test scores a minor factor in evaluations.

And, they said, it will send a message to parents that their child’s academic growth, as measured in statewide assessment tests, is taken seriously.

“We think that this is an important bill to make sure that we put students first,” said Parasa Chanramy of Stand for Children, an education-reform group that gathered 20,000 signatures on petitions supporting the bill.

Shoreline Community College has announced a plan to give two years of free college to 56 high achieving local high school graduates.

The Shoreline Scholars program is aimed at students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 and some financial need.

Shoreline President Cheryl Roberts said they want to attract highperforming students who, for whatever reason, are going to find college too expensive for them.

The program is expected to cost about $400,000 over two years, and Shoreline hopes to be able to offer it every year.

Pentagon considers easing standards for enlistment

Representatives of world powers meet over a nuclear deal with Iran on Monday in Lausanne, Switzerland.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Iran nuclear talks near deadline

By George Jahn and Matthew Lee Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program reached a critical phase Monday with diplomats struggling to overcome substantial differences just a day before a deadline for the outline of an agreement.

With Tuesday’s target date for a framework accord just hours away, the top diplomats from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany were meeting with Iran to try to bridge remaining gaps and hammer out an understanding that would serve as the basis for a final accord to be reached by the end of June.

“We are working late into the night and obviously into tomorrow,” said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad

Zarif in Lausanne since Thursday in an intense effort to reach a political understanding on terms that would curb Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

“There is a little more light there today, but there are still some tricky issues,” Kerry said.

“Everyone knows the meaning of tomorrow.”

Kerry and others at the table said the sides have made some progress, with Iran considering demands for further cuts to its uranium enrichment program but pushing back on how long it must limit technology it could use to make atomic arms. In addition to sticking points on research and development, differences remain on the timing and scope of sanctions removal, the officials said.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Iran’s expectations from the talks are “very ambitious” and not yet acceptable to his country or the other five negotiating:

the U.S., Britain, China, France and Russia.

“We will not allow a bad deal,” he said. “We will only arrive at a document that is ready to sign if it ... excludes Iran getting access to nuclear weapons. We have not yet cleared this up.”

In particular, Steinmeier said the question of limits on research and development that Iran would be allowed to continue was problematic.

Other officials said the issue of the scope and timing of sanctions relief was also a major sticking point.

In a tweet, Gerard Araud, the French ambassador to the U.S., said that “very substantial problems remain to be solved.”

In a sign that the talks would go down to the wire Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov left, just a day after arriving, to return to Moscow.

His spokeswoman said he would will return to Lausanne on Tuesday only if there was a

realistic chance for a deal.

Meanwhile, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told Iranian state television that the talks were not likely to reach any conclusion until “tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

“We are not still in the position to be able to say we are close to resolving the (remaining) issues but we are hopeful and we’ll continue the efforts,” he said.

The Obama administration says any deal will stretch the time Iran needs to make a nuclear weapon from the present two to three months to at least a year. But critics object that it would keep Tehran’s nuclear technology intact.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the forefront of accusations that Iran helped Shiite rebels advance in Yemen, says the deal in the works sends the message that “there is a reward for Iran’s aggression.”

Driver defies orders at NSA gate; 1 dead

By Meredith Somers and Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

FORT MEADE, Md. — Two men dressed as women smashed a stolen car into a police vehicle after they disobeyed commands at the closely guarded gates of the National Security Agency on Monday, prompting police to open fire.

One of the men died, the other was injured and a police officer also was taken to a hospital. Images from the scene showed emergency workers loading the uniformed officer into an ambulance. Nearby were a dark-colored SUV and an SUV emblazoned with “NSA Police,” both heavily damaged.

It was not known why the men wound up at the gate at Fort Meade, a military post that houses the National Security Agency, or why they did not obey orders from NSA police. Fort Meade is just off I-295 between Baltimore and Washington.

The men were dressed as women, said a senior defense

official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing case. It also was unclear exactly what the men were wearing.

The NSA said investigators have not yet determined how the man in the vehicle died, and the conditions of the wounded man and officer were not disclosed.

An agency officer gave the driver “routine instructions for

safely exiting the secure campus,” but the driver disobeyed them, the release said. The driver then accelerated toward a police vehicle blocking the road, and police then opened fire.

An FBI spokeswoman said earlier in the day that the incident was not believed to be linked to terrorism.

The car that rammed the police vehicle had been stolen Monday morning from a

hotel in Jessup, Maryland, said Mary Phelan, a spokeswoman for the Howard County Police Department.

The FBI is investigating and working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland to determine if federal charges are warranted, FBI spokeswoman Amy J. Thoreson said in an email.

It’s not the first time someone has disobeyed orders at an NSA gate. In July, a man failed to obey an NSA officer’s command to stop as he approached a checkpoint. The man drove away, injuring an NSA officer and nearly striking a barricade.

He was later arrested.

Earlier this month, police captured a man accused of firing at a building on the NSA campus. The man, who was also accused of shooting at vehicles, told police he heard voices.

Fort Meade also is home to the Defense Information Systems Agency and the U.S. Cyber Command. About 11,000 military personnel and about 29,000 civilian employees work on the property.

Pharmacists’ group: No to execution drugs

By Julie Watson Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The American Pharmacists Association on Monday adopted a policy that discourages its members from providing death-penalty drugs.

The new guidelines could make it tough for death penalty states, like Texas, that have been looking at made-to-order execution drugs from compounding pharmacies as the answer to a nationwide shortage of execution drugs.

The association’s governing body approved the policy at a meeting in San Diego.

The group lacks the legal authority to bar compounding pharmacies from selling execution drugs. But its policies set ethical standards followed by pharmacists.

Prison departments have had to buy made-to-order execution drugs from compounding pharmacies in recent years because the pharmaceutical companies they used to buy their drugs from now refuse to sell them for use in lethal injections after coming under pressure from death penalty opponents.

But now the compounded version is also difficult to come by, with most pharmacists

reluctant to expose themselves to possible harassment by death-penalty opponents.

Texas’ prison agency scrambled this month to find a supplier to replenish its inventory, then found a supply from a compounded pharmacy it won’t identify.

Also this month, an execution in Georgia was put off when prison authorities questioned the appearance of the compounded pentobarbital they planned to use.

After a troubling use of a twodrug method last year, Ohio said it will use compounded versions of either pentobarbital or sodium thiopental in the

future, though it doesn’t have supplies of either drug and hasn’t said how it will obtain them. All executions scheduled this year were pushed to 2016 to give the state more time to find the drugs.

Others states are turning to alternative methods.

Tennessee has approved the use of the electric chair if lethal-injection drugs aren’t available, while Utah has reinstated the firing squad as a backup method if it can’t obtain the drugs. Oklahoma is considering legislation that would make it the first state to allow the use of nitrogen gas as an execution method.

ABINGTON, Pa. — Saying the military needs to do more to compete with corporate America for quality recruits, Defense Secretary Ash Carter opened the door Monday to relaxing some enlistment standards — particularly for high-tech or cyber security jobs.

Speaking at his former suburban Philadelphia high school, Carter said the military could ease age requirements and bring in older people who are mid-career, or provide student loan repayments to attract students who have finished college. There are few details so far, but Carter said the military needs to be more flexible in order to recruit and retain quality people.

D.C.: Obama to visit Kenya When Barack Obama visited his father’s homeland of Kenya in 2006, thousands flocked to see the U.S. senator whom many embraced as if he were a native son. Now, Obama is preparing to make his first visit to Kenya as U.S. president to attend a global entrepreneurship summit there in July, the White House said Monday. Obama has traveled throughout Africa as president, but has steered clear of Kenya, in part because of unrest and political considerations there, including a case by the International Criminal Court against Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, which was dropped last December.

U.S. offer 28 percent emissions cut for treaty In a highly anticipated announcement, the United States will offer a roughly 28 percent emissions cut as its contribution to a major global climate treaty nearing the final stages of negotiation, according to people briefed on the White House’s plans. The U.S. plans to announce its commitment Tuesday, the informal deadline for nations to submit their contributions to the United Nations. Although the goal of 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025 isn’t new— President Barack Obama first unveiled it last year during a trip to Beijing — the U.S. proposal has drawn intense interest from the vast majority of countries that have yet to announce how deeply they’ll pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

AROUND THE WORLD Guinea: Border shut Guinea closed its border with Sierra Leone on Monday as part of new efforts to stamp out Ebola, an official said. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed more than 10,300 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Liberia currently has no Ebola patients, and Sierra Leone has seen a steady decline in cases. But the disease remains stubbornly entrenched in Guinea more than a year after the outbreak started.

Germany: Co-pilot treated for suicidal tendencies The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 that crashed into the French Alps last week had received treatment for suicidal tendencies several years ago, prosecutors said Monday. Duesseldorf prosecutors said co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 27, had received psychotherapy “with a note about suicidal tendencies” for several years before becoming a pilot. “In the following period, and until recently, further doctor’s visits took place, resulting in sick notes without any suicidal tendencies or aggression against others being recorded,” prosecutors’ spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said. Authorities believe, based on data from the plane’s cockpit voice recorder, that Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit and ignored his pleas to open the door while sending the plane into a fatal descent. All 150 people on board were killed when the Airbus A320 plane slammed into a French mountain March 24 near the village of Le Vernet.

Yemen: Rebel targets hit Saudi-led naval forces imposed a blockade on Yemen’s ports as coalition airstrikes Monday repelled an advance on the southern port city of Aden by Shiite rebels and forces loyal to a former president. The move to block ports appeared aimed at preventing the rebels, known as Houthis, from rearming, and comes after the coalition bombed a number of rebel-held airports.

BNSF adds safety rules for oil trains

By Josh Funk Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — BNSF has started taking additional safety measures for crude oil shipments because of four recent high-profile derailments in the U.S. and Canada, the railroad said Monday.

Under the changes, BNSF is slowing down crude oil trains to 35 mph in cities with more than 100,000 people and increasing track inspections near waterways.

The Fort Worth, Texas, based railroad also is stepping up efforts to find and repair defective wheels before they can cause derailments.

BNSF spokesman Michael Trevino said these additional safety efforts were imposed last week in response to the recent derailments, including one involving a BNSF train earlier this month near Galena, Illinois, and the Mississippi River.

“The recent incidents involving crude trains, including our

own event in Galena, has led us to believe that we must take further action,” Trevino said.

In February, a 100-car Canadian National Railway train hauling crude oil and petroleum distillates derailed in a remote part of Ontario, Canada. And less than two days later, a 109-car CSX oil train derailed and caught fire near Mount Carbon, West Virginia, leaking oil into a Kanawha River tributary and burning a house to its foundation.

The worst of these crude oil

derailments happened July 6, 2013, and involved a runaway train that killed 47 people in the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, just across the U.S.-Canada border from Maine.

The number of rail accidents remains relatively small compared to total rail traffic, but fiery accidents involving crude oil are increasing because U.S. and Canadian oil production is booming.

South Korean wins deal to build fighter jet SEOUL — South Korea chose a state-run aircraft maker Monday as the sole preferred bidder for a contract to develop a midlevel fighter jet with the help of Lockheed Martin Corp. in the country’s biggest-ever weapons development project.

The deal worth $7.8 billion is only for system development and the production of prototype jets by 2025. South Korea eventually plans to introduce 120 such fighter jets to replace its aging F-4 and F-5 fighter jets, according to Seoul’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

Korea Aerospace Industries beat Korean Air Lines to become the preferred bidder.

Lockheed Martin last year won a multibillion-dollar deal to provide 40 F-35A fighter jets to South Korea.

Ford resurrects ‘car of presidents’ The iconic Lincoln Continental is returning to the road next year

By Dee-Ann Durbin Associated Press

DEARBORN, Mich. — Elvis Presley had one; so did Clark Gable. It was even the sedan of presidents. Then the name vanished amid an invasion of newer luxury cars from Europe and Asia.

Now, the Lincoln Continental is back.

Thirteen years after the last Continental rolled off the assembly line, Ford Motor Co. is resurrecting its storied nameplate. The new Continental debuts in concept form at this week’s New York auto show. The production version of the fullsize sedan goes on sale next year.

After more than a decade of toying with alphabetical names like LS and MKS to be more like its foreign rivals, Ford’s 98-yearold Lincoln brand is embracing its heritage. It’s a measure of the growing confidence at Lincoln, which is finally turning around a decades-long sales decline. And it’s a nod to the importance of China, where customers know the Continental name and appreciate brands with a rich history.

Ford CEO Mark Fields says the Continental always represented the best of Lincoln. Resurrecting

ASSOCIATED PRESS / 1961

U.S. Secret Service agents stand on retractable stands on President John F. Kennedy’s new plastic-topped Lincoln Continental limousine after its delivery to the White House on June 14, 1961. The car has three roof combinations, a rear seat that can be raised and lowered, two two-way radio telephones, and a master control panel for power accessories.

it sets higher expectations, both within the company and outside of it.

“When we get a chance to work on an iconic nameplate like that, it’s a mixture of pride and a mixture of fear, because when you put that name out there, it’s got to deliver,” Fields told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

The Continental was born in 1938, when Henry Ford’s son

Edsel commissioned a convertible he could use on his spring vacation. Thrilled by the reception he got as he drove the elegant sedan around Palm Beach, Edsel made the Continental part of Lincoln’s lineup.

The Continental soon became the pinnacle of American luxury.

Warner Brothers gave Elizabeth Taylor a 1956 Continental with a custom paint color to match her

eyes. A darker historical note: John F. Kennedy was riding in the back of a 1961 Continental convertible when he was assassinated in Dallas.

Continental sales peaked in 1990 at 62,732. But after that, Lincoln’s sales began slipping.

Ford had acquired other luxury brands such as Jaguar and Volvo.

Lincoln’s designs got dull and failed to stand out from lowerpriced Fords. The Continental was also squeezed by competition from the midsize Lincoln LS, which debuted in 2000, and the bigger Town Car. Ford also underestimated the threat posed by German rivals, who were expanding their lineups, and newer Japanese luxury brands. By 2000, Lexus was the top-selling luxury brand in the U.S.; last year, BMW was.

To make its way back, Lincoln isn’t trying to be sporty like BMW or showy like Cadillac. Instead, Fields says, it wants to give drivers an experience that is elegant and serene.

“We want folks to get into our vehicles and — for lack of a better term — chill,” Fields said.

The strategy appears to be working. Lincoln’s U.S. sales See FORD, Page A8

SEATTLE — Amazon.com is introducing a referral service to help people to get projects and chores done around their homes.

The recommendation system, called Amazon Home Services, marks the e-commerce company’s latest attempt to expand its empire beyond online shopping.

It debuted Monday across the U.S. after several months of testing in New York, Los Angeles and Seattle.

Amazon.com’s move poses a potential threat to other online referral and business rating services, including Angie’s List, Yelp and Thumbtack, a startup that raised $100 million last year from a group of backers led by an investment arm of Google Inc. About 700 different services in major U.S. cities can be booked through Amazon.com, spanning from housecleaning to goat grazing.

Investors haven’t always approved of Amazon.com’s efforts to diversify outside of online shopping, a push that has seen the company branch out into making a variety of gadgets and running an Internet video service.

The investments in the other projects have shrunk Amazon. com’s profits and sometimes lumped the company with losses to the dismay of its shareholders.

More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in February, evidence that the spring buying season could open strong. The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index climbed 3.1 percent to 106.9 last month, the highest reading since June 2013.

Buying activity jumped in the Midwest and West, while dipping slightly in the Northeast and South.

Toyota cuts price of braking safety devices Those pricey high-tech systems that automatically stop or slow your car if it’s about to run into something are getting a lot cheaper. Toyota said it will offer lower-cost versions of the safety features in new Lexus and Toyota SUVs that it’s introducing this week at the New York auto show, and the cheaper devices will spread across most of the company’s models by the end of 2017.

McDonald’s to test all-day breakfast McDonald’s plans to test an all-day breakfast at some locations in the San Diego area starting next month. The company said in a statement that the test is in response to customers who have said they’d like to eat breakfast foods outside the typical morning hours that they are served.

The world’s largest restaurant chain said the test will include a partial menu and feature some of McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches and hash browns.

Stena Line tests ferry running on methanol Swedish ferry operator Stena Line says it has converted one of its ships to enable it to run on methanol, testing the potential of the environmentally friendly fuel for the shipping industry.

The company said the Stena Germanica re-entered service March 26 to operate between Kiel, Germany, and Goteborg, Sweden,, after a conversion that cost $24 million. The ship uses methanol as the main fuel and a backup option of marine gas oil.

rose 16 percent last year, making it one of the fastestgrowing luxury brands in the market. The midsize MKZ was the brand’s top seller.

Full-size sedans like the Continental are a tough sell in the U.S., where buyers tend to prefer midsize sedans or SUVs. U.S. sales of Lincoln’s current fullsize sedan, the MKS, fell 24 percent last year.

But globally, the segment is growing, Fields says.

Ford has high hopes for the Lincoln brand in China, where it’s opening dazzling new dealerships complete with waterfalls.

Lincoln’s split-wing grille, a feature that dates to the 1940s, has been replaced by a tight, rectangular mesh grille, its shiny chrome patterned with tiny versions of Lincoln’s rectangular logo. The sides are smooth; even the door handles are hidden within a narrow strip of chrome at the beltline.

The concept is a technology showcase. The driver’s seat has a patented split cushion, so if the driver holds one leg out further than another, it will support each leg separately.

The moonroof glass turns opaque with the touch of a button. Another button automatically moves the front passenger seat forward and fully reclines the rear passenger seat. That’s another nod to China,

Railroads hauled 493,126 tank cars of crude oil last year, up from 407,761 in 2013 and just 9,500 cars in 2008 before boom took off in the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana as well as in Canada.

BNSF, which is owned

by Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc., hauls much of the oil produced in the Bakken region.

Trevino said the railroad had already doubled the frequency of track inspections near waterways; now it will inspect the track 2.5 times more often than regulations require.

uses a system of trackside detectors to identify wheels and axles that are beginning to fail. Trevino said the railroad will begin removing flawed wheels sooner to help prevent derailments.

These new BNSF efforts go beyond the voluntary measures railroads agreed to last year when the industry pledged to slow crude oil trains to 40 mph in metropolitan areas and report route information to emergency responders.

“The freight rail industry shares the public’s concern over recent highprofile incidents and we recognize, as part of a shared responsibility with shippers, more has to be done to further advance the safe movement of this product,” said Ed Greenberg, spokesman for the Association of American Railroads trade group.

Movement on oil train safety crude oil from tanker cars.

■■Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., introduced a bill last week that would immediately ban the use of older-model tank cars, referred to as DOT111 cars.

■■And the Legislature continues work on two similar bills — one in the House, one in the Senate — that would add regulations and taxes to the shipment of crude oil by tanker car, marine oil tankers and pipeline.

BNSF will have the opportunity of a hearing before the UTC to explain the spills and leaks and why it didn’t notify the state sooner. Admittedly, some of the leaks were relatively minor. But the commission also should take the opportunity to get a full report from BNSF on each incident to determine if the cause of each spill or leak involving tanker cars was equipment failure or human error and the steps taken to correct the failures.

The rail industry, and the companies that ship crude oil by rail, are slowly making a transition from the DOT-111 cars to tankers that have been touted as a safer alternative, called CPC-1232 cars. As a rule, the tanker cars themselves are the property of leasing companies or the companies shipping the oil .

BP last year switched to the new cars for its shipments to its refinery at Cherry Point near Ferndale. Likewise, Tesoro made the same switch to the new cars for shipments to its refinery near Anacortes.

Perhaps impatient with the slow transition of its crude oil customers, BNSF has begun to made its own investment in the new rail cars, which it can lease to oil and chemical companies.

The CPC-1232s aren’t foolproof; some of the recent instances of spills and fires in the U.S. involved the new cars.

But even with the investment

by the oil companies and BNSF, a federal mandate to speed up the transition, and maybe find something even safer, is called for.

Meanwhile, state legislators continue work on their own bills, which differ slightly but would: require BNSF to give advance notice of daily oil train shipments; charge oil trains the per-barrel tax that marine tankers pay for oil spill preparedness, possibly raising it from 4 cents to 8 cents a barrel; increase the number of state rail inspectors; and increase the size of train crews from two to three or four.

Many of these recommendations were outlined in a report on rail safety funded by the state, recommendations it should now implement.

In reconciling the two bills, legislators should lean toward safety as much as is possible as the best opportunity to prevent a rail disaster in Washington state.

All parks should be free, for all Regarding parking fees planned at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park: Paying for parking at parks discriminates against those who cannot afford the parking fees. Elderly, fixed income, lower income, kids, outdoor enthusiasts — all were meant to be able to enjoy our parks. Administering the collection and accounting for the parking fees “might” result is a small profit, but this small profit creates a huge negative public opinion of the cities that require these fees.

Discover passes, boat launch fees, state boat launch season passes, license tabs, fishing/hunting licenses, etc., — my glovebox overflows with paperwork to enjoy the outdoors. Help people enjoy the great Pacific Northwest — let parks be free from fees. A suggestion, put donation boxes at parks. Those who can afford a few extra bucks could deposit the funds. Who knows, a wealthy outdoorsman could show their philanthropic spirit by supplying a donation in a drop box. All cities could use a boost to their public image, and free parking would be a great start. Here is a chance for Mukilteo to be a civic minded leader, and say “we’d love for you to visit and enjoy our parks.” C’mon Mukilteo — Let freedom (to enjoy the parks) ring.

Keep guns away from kids, period In response to the tragic events at Marysville Pilchuck High School, I urge all gun owners to take a moment and think about your responsibility as a gun owner. Just as you have the right to own or possess a gun, you have a duty to see that it is safely secured from curious toddlers or troubled teenagers. How many completely innocent victims does it take before we wake up and do something to help prevent needless deaths?

Those who own guns need to keep guns out of the hands of kids. Not because of any law that might require them to do so, rather because it is the responsible thing to do.

IN OUR VIEW | Energy policy

U.S. crude oil production has grown significantly in the U.S. since 2009. In 2014, it increased by 1.2 million barrels a day to 8.7 million barrels a day, the largest volume increase since record keeping began in 1900, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Over that same period we’ve also seen an increase in spills and fires in the U.S. that resulted from derailments of oil tanker cars.

The growth in our nation’s energy independence requires that we strengthen protections for our safety, environment and transportation systems.

Currently that effort is being addressed on three fronts: ■■The state Utilities and Transportation Commission is seeking to fine Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad as much as $700,000 for 14 incidents in which BNSF failed to timely notify the state of spills and leaks, some of them of

Tech firms are gaming work visa system

T

he libertarian-leaning me believes an American employer should be able to hire pretty much anyone he or she wants to hire. But the taxpaying me believes that if the federal government limits immigration yet creates a special visa program for highly skilled foreign workers with the assurance that the program will not DEBRA J. SAUNDERS cut into the wages or jobs of American workers, then Washington ought to keep its promise.

This month, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, held a congressional hearing on the H-1B visa program that eliminated any doubt that some corporations are gaming the system to the severe disadvantage of skilled workers. Last year the Center for Investigative Reporting reported on abuses of so-called “body shops” — labor brokers who enlist foreign workers abroad, press them into exploitative contracts and cut them undersized checks as they do contract work for established tech concerns that may want to avert the bad publicity.

Howard University public policy professor Ron Hira testified that Washington “inadvertently created a highly profitable business model” to bring in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) professionals at cheaper wages.

The biggest, baddest star of the hearing turned out to be Southern California Edison. The utility plans to lay off 400 IT workers; another 100 workers are leaving voluntarily. What happens to the work?

SCE has hired two labor brokers — Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services — to outsource most information technology work overseas, while 20 percent of the work will go to H-1B workers, according to the Los Angeles Times. The newspaper’s Michael Hiltzik found that the utility paid its domestic IT specialists an average of $120,000, while Infosys and Tata pay recruits an average of $65,000 to $71,000.

The story gets worse. In order to qualify for severance, SCE workers had to agree to train their replacements and to not criticize the utility in public.

Supporters of the H-1B program want to expand the cap on these visas at 85,000 so that Silicon Valley and other tech hot spots can attract “the best and the brightest.” As for the notion that there is a shortage of STEM workers, Hira added that if skilled workers were as much in demand as H-1B boosters suggest, SCE workers would have left for better jobs. Instead, they are training their replacements.

Rutgers Professor Hal Salzman has done extensive research on the STEM workforce and estimates that 10 percent to 15 percent of H-1B visas go to winners of a “talent search.” He believes the government should accommodate such hires. But for the most part, the temporary jobs program exists to replace American workers at lower wages. He slammed the program as a “20 percent off sale” on hiring.

Bjorn Billhardt of Enspire Learning in Austin, Texas, came to America from Germany as an exchange student, qualified for an H-1B visa and now is a U.S. citizen.

Speaking in favor of increasing the H-1B caps, Billhardt argued that he needs to hire the best individual possible to keep his 30-employee business competitive in a fierce international market. If Washington makes employers prove they cannot hire a qualified American worker, he argued, then that’s a bureaucratic nightmare.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, proclaimed, “I want to put the H-1B factories out of business.” His remedy: a rule to prohibit firms with more than 50 employees from having more than 50 percent H-1B visa workers.

Billhardt thought it was a grand idea. So do I. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka testified against the system — which puts the labor leader on the same side as Grassley and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama. For years, Grassley and Durbin have sponsored bipartisan legislation to end temporary worker visa abuses.

While Americans think that the H-1B visa program requires U.S. firms to make a good-faith effort to hire an American, the law includes no such mandate. Grassley and Durbin want that requirement.

According to the Department of Labor, the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that hiring a foreign worker “not adversely affect the wages and the working conditions of U.S. workers comparably employed.” That is common sense. Americans don’t learn skills and refine them so that they can pay taxes to bankroll a lottery that allows some employers to lay off workers and replace them with foreign workers at below-market wages.

Trial: Prosecutors say they’re comfortable with the verdict From Page A1

The jury convicted Erick Walker, 28, of nine other crimes, including a mix of armed assaults and driveby shootings for gunfire that hit homes and cars from Lake Stevens to Marysville.

The sentences for manslaughter and the other crimes are likely to amount to life behind bars for the Marysville man, a former Boeing mechanic. He is to be sentenced on April 21.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutors Ed Stemler and Edirin Okoloko said that each of the four assault convictions, along with the firearm enhancements, must run consecutive to each other.

“We’re comfortable with the jury’s verdict,” Okoloko said. “At least he’s being held accountable for (Molly’s) death.”

John Conley and other relatives were visibly upset that the jury didn’t convict Walker of murder.

Prosecutors didn’t claim that the June 1, 2013, killing was intentional but charged the case under the theory that Walker showed an “extreme indifference to human life” when he fired

a revolver from his moving car.

Molly was struck in the neck as she and five friends walked along a dark road in Lake Stevens. She had been celebrating her 15th birthday at a slumber party.

“It’s a miscarriage of justice,” John Conley said Monday afternoon.

The verdict, he said, has left him and his family confused and heartbroken.

The evidence showed that Walker was guilty of murder, John Conley said.

With their verdict, jurors concluded that Walker’s reckless actions caused Molly’s death.

It was unclear Monday how divided the jury was on the murder charge.

Defense attorney Mark Mestel said he was disappointed with the outcome.

“Our feeling is there was no evidence to tie him to that homicide,” Mestel said.

The bullet that killed Molly was never recovered, despite an extensive search

by Snohomish County sheriff’s investigators and, later, by search and rescue volunteers.

Mestel also said that he thought the defense had proved that Walker was in

Arlington, not Lake Stevens, during the time of the drive-by shootings.

A ballistics expert had testified that bullets recovered from houses and cars matched the two pistols that Walker owned. A forensic video analyst told jurors that Walker’s Pontiac was consistent with a vehicle captured on a home surveillance camera the night of the shooting, blocks from where the girl was killed. Jurors were told that broken headlight

pieces found at the Marysville shooting scene fit the damaged headlight recovered from Walker’s father.

Walker was arrested 27 days after the killing and admitted to Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives Brad Pince and Kendra Conley that he had been driving around Lake Stevens the night of the shooting.

Co-workers testified that Walker seemed strangely obsessed with news stories about the case. Another

Defense attorney Mark Mestel said that he was disappointed with the verdict.

Boeing mechanic testified that Walker asked him what should happen to whoever killed the girl if the gunman was caught.

Mestel said Walker will appeal his convictions and “try to convince the courts that he didn’t receive a fair trial.”

Walker’s parents left the courtroom without speaking to reporters. Their son didn’t have any prior criminal convictions.

John Conley later lauded

the courage and strength of Molly’s friends, the five girls who were with her the night she died. They testified during the trial, and jurors heard their panicked 911 calls as they tried to get help for their friend.

They were victims, too, Conley said.

“Their commitment to justice for Molly has been unwavering,” he said.

are the core of a federal investigation to determine whether Kelley broke the law in past business dealings, the Seattle Weekly reported.

At the time, Kelley admitted under oath that he hadn’t paid taxes on the disputed amount and other earnings, totaling $3.8 million, which he earned from three title companies: Old

1254078

Republic, Stewart Title and Fidelity.

That’s how much he moved from bank to bank in what Old Republic called a plan to hide the money with a tax-free trust in Belize.

Federal prosecutors, using a grand jury, have been looking into the transactions since Kelley’s 2012 election.

Earlier this month U.S. agents with the Department of Treasury searched

Kelley’s Tacoma home. Last week, the auditor’s office turned over subpoenaed records involving a parttime employee who is one of Kelley’s longtime business associates.

According to court records obtained by Seattle Weekly, the fund transfers began on June 12, 2008, with money from Kelley’s company, United National, doing business as Post Closing Department,

being wired to different banks. He had shut down PCD and created a new entity called Blackstone International.

On June 25, fire gutted the Stewart Title Co. building at 2721 Wetmore Ave. in Everett. In his deposition, Kelley said the fire destroyed PCD records that showed he properly charged Old Republic’s customers.

Scott Smith, Old

Republic’s attorney, told the Seattle Weekly that Kelley’s office was actually next to the title building and was closed two weeks prior. Important records he sought from Kelley were electronic spreadsheets and should have been saved elsewhere.

Kelley admitted in a 2010 deposition that his office suffered only smoke damage and was unable to clearly explain why

electronic records weren’t retrieved. Kelley said he wasn’t much of a recordkeeper, Smith said.

“I asked about his (personal) computer, and he said, ‘Well, I don’t have the computer. It had a glitch, and I gave it to Goodwill.’ OK then, how about emails? He said he didn’t save them either. What about data from your website? ‘Cleaned that out before I shut it down.’ ”

Students, principal help make county a better place

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Snohomish Conservation District staff and local environmental stewardship advocates invite the public to the Better Ground Awards Showcase to hear stories about environmental work being done in the county.

The free event is 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday at the Rosehill Community Center, 304 Lincoln Ave., Mukilteo. It includes live music, keynote presentations and hors d’oeuvres. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

People are asked to register online at bgshowcase.eventbrite. com.

News about diminishing suitable habitat for wildlife, polluted waterways, acidic oceans and

changing climates can seem daunting and depressing, said Laura Goff, the conservation district’s community education coordinator.

But the stories to be told Wednesday should renew hope and a sense of purpose for everyday folks who work to make Snohomish County a better place, she said in a story in the district’s newsletter.

Among those to be honored are Jack McManis, a sophomore at Kamiak High School and an Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop 18. He volunteered hundreds of hours to help create an outdoor learning classroom at Mukilteo Elementary and wildlife habitat from what used to be a fortress of nonnative blackberry vines.

Diana Cantini, a seventh grader at Explorer Middle School in Mukilteo, volunteered with Farmer Frog, a local nonprofit organization that turns overgrown low-income schoolyards into hubs that produce fresh fruits and vegetables for the community. Diana works at the Olivia Park Elementary School gardens.

Carlos Aranda, a fifth grader at Discovery Elementary School in Mukilteo, is the president of his school’s Verde Garden Club. The school started their gardens only one year ago and Carlos has been one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic leaders.

The Angelina effect Women are more likely to follow after the actor had her ovaries removed to prevent cancer The Washington Post

EUGENE HOSHIKO / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Angelina Jolie poses for photographers June 24. Last week, Jolie announced that she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in a preventive procedure.

Angelina Jolie, mother of six, whipped the Internet into a frenzy last week after announcing her decision to have her ovaries removed in an elective surgery meant to prevent cancer.

“I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family,” the actress wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times. “I know my children will never have to say, ‘Mom died of ovarian cancer.’ ” Jolie’s mother died at age 56 after a decade-long battle with breast cancer. Last week Jolie underwent a laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.

After Jolie’s piece published Tuesday, “Angelina Jolie Pitt” quickly began trending internationally on Twitter. Her essay, urging readers to “take control and tackle head-on any health issue,” climbed the Times’ “Most Emailed” list.

Doctors say the buzz will likely drive more women to consider genetic testing and, perhaps, elective surgeries that research shows can drastically reduce the risk of cancer. Researchers have dubbed this phenomenon “the

Angelina Jolie effect.”

After undergoing genetic testing, Jolie, 39, discovered she carries a gene mutation that gives her an estimated 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. She also lost her grandmother and aunt to cancer.

Two years ago, in an op-ed, Jolie shared her choice to have a double mastectomy.

“A Nobel laureate could give the same message, and it might reach only a handful of people,” said David Fishman, director of the Mount Sinai Ovarian Cancer Risk Assessment Program in New York City. “Angelina is using her celebrity in a heroic way, and she’s going to reach millions of people worldwide.”

Fishman estimates interest in genetic testing at Mount Sinai Hospital, one of New York’s largest medical centers, has nearly doubled since 2013.

“Since then, every, single patient in my program has brought up Angelina Jolie,” said Fishman, whose program treats more than 2,000 women annually.

“It takes a lot of courage for someone to be willing to share their private health care with the world.

Her courage pushed a deeply sensitive issue into the spotlight.”

A study published last year in

Breast Cancer Research uncovered a similar burst in popularity overseas: Referrals to breast cancer clinics more than doubled in the United Kingdom after Jolie wrote about her first procedure.

Researchers, who collected data from 21 major clinics, saw referrals increase 250 percent — peaking at 4,847 in summer 2013, compared to the previous year’s June and July numbers, which capped at 1,981. “All participating centres were conscious of a more significant increase in women attending referring to the Angelina Jolie story and further, noted women seen in the past seeking updated advice on testing and risk-reducing surgery,” study authors wrote.

Ovarian cancer is the fifthleading cause of cancer death in U.S. women, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The American Cancer Society estimates about 21,290 women will develop ovarian cancer this year, and roughly 14,180 will die from the disease.

Widely called “the silent killer,” it is hard to catch early without regular ultrasounds. Ovarian cancer is often detected at an advanced phase, where the fiveyear survival rate falls below 30 percent, according to research from Arizona State University.

Tips on how to be engaged, productive post-retirement

E

very day in the United States, thousands of baby boomers are turning 65. No wonder many of us hear about friends and family that are retiring or at least talking about it. I have several friends that took the big step.

Recently, I had lunch with two of those friends, longtime Everett residents, Dr. Tracy Spencer, retired physician, and Dr. Jack Courrier, retired dentist. Both practiced in Everett for more than 30 years.

Tracy and his wife are taking care of his mom, Dixie, who is turning 96 this summer. They love to chase after three grandchildren who live right down the street. Jack is on the board of several community organizations and will be running in his first Boston Marathon. Both feel fulfilled and content in their retirement.

One friend, who worked for the state of California for almost 30 years, was growing frustrated with his job. Deciding to retire

PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK was easy for him. He told me: “Some people worry about falling into a deep depression after they retire. I am expecting to fall into a deep elation!” As far as I can see, his expectations have been met.

I am just 63, and I have no interest in retiring any time soon.

I love my job and the company I work for. I sense that I wouldn’t do so well in retirement. I suspect that I might get in my wife’s hair, who works from home.

If I had my druthers, I, like most working stiffs, would want to sleep in on Monday morning.

But the structure of work is good for me. Sure, I have hobbies and interests, but they are organized around the work week. I am not so confident that I would do well with wide open spaces of free time.

I see this frequently. Joe retires from Boeing and can’t wait to sleep in on Monday morning and spend his free time fishing, hunting and puttering around in his wood shop. The first couple of weeks are great. He loves sleeping in and not worrying about when he has to go to bed.

But after a month or two, he notices that he is getting less and less done. He’s still sleeping in, but now he starts to feel sluggish.

And, what’s worse, he doesn’t know what to do with himself.

He’s watching a lot of TV, but hasn’t done as much fishing or hunting as he thought he would.

He’s been out to his shop — but isn’t really sure what project to start.

Let’s be realistic. Retirement is a huge life change for most

adults. In my experience, women tend to do better than men. In our society, female identity tends to center around their relationships and social roles — wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend.

Many women retire and spend more time with family and friends.

Typically, male identity revolves around work — as do their relationships. Being a breadwinner, a mechanic, a lawyer or a carpenter defines male identity. Furthermore, many men (and women) do very well when they have a structure, but may take that structure for granted.

Having to be somewhere 9 a.m.

Monday morning provides a shape to the week that might not be present otherwise.

Eventually, everyone must stop work. The goal — prepare effectively for that day, so that when it comes, adults are ready to make a transition into a different lifestyle.

Here are some important points to consider:

Plan ahead. Just as in other big life changes, it is important to think ahead. What will I do with my free time? What hobbies or activities will I pursue? How will I structure my time? What may be some of my problem areas? What are my expectations? Are they realistic?

Talk to your spouse. Negotiating turf issues is very important.

All of sudden couples may be spending more time to together than they ever have. Some of that may be positive. But it is possible to get in your partner’s way, without realizing it.

Establish realistic expectations. All life change has its positive and negative aspects.

What’s important is to recognize that there will be bumps in the road. Be prepared for them.

Let teen romance take its course

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My 17-year-old daughter has been with her boyfriend for a year and a half, and he’s going to leave for college. She’s going to be a senior in high school.

She’s already planning to visit him “at least once a month” in college (no, I have not yet granted permission for these visits), but he’s going to be on the football team, and the college is eight hours away. I’m trying to help her realize that he’s going to have a lot of demands on his time and that it may be best to be supportive from a distance and give him the space and time he needs to succeed in school. I’m trying not to minimize her feelings that they’re “in love” and talking about a future together, because I know some couples who did indeed meet in high school and are now happily married. I just want to help her realize the relationship is going to change and it’s important for them at their ages to experience new things and some independence. Any suggestions?

5. What was the middle name of Elvis Presley?

once a month (obviously I’m skeptical) then you’ll have to have the please-don’t-close-yourself-offto-new-experiences talk, though even that comes with a caveat: If she hasn’t spent past weekends traveling 16 hours round-trip, solo, to a college campus, then this is the new thing, and staying home is the old one. Be ready for that when you go in.

Deep breathing in the meantime. If and when things do get bumpy for them, you can remind her the whole point of college is to grow and mature, and any change — in either of them — means the relationship has to change, too.

Even when it hurts.

Re: Boyfriend at College: I left for college with my boyfriend in high school. It was too far for him to visit. I wish he had been able to, because then we would have realized sooner it wasn’t a good fit. Young people need to spend time together so that they can figure out if they’re a match.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Eight hours away! Who’s paying for her travel? That natural obstacle might get a lot more accomplished than your words can. And, if he has demands on his time, isn’t he the best messenger for that? Plus, she will have her own work to do in school, which she can’t just dump to spend most of a weekend on the road.

Adding 1 + 1 + 1 = a strong possibility that you don’t have to do much here at all besides let nature take its course. If she pays for the trip, has all her schoolwork done in advance and he wants her to visit, then let her. Maybe if those planets actually manage to align

Boyfriend is the one who can do better

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I am 29 and on the fence about what to do. My 32-year-old boyfriend of a year and a half, “Aiden,” proposed while we were in Europe last month.

Aiden is a sweet guy who would do anything for me.

I waffled and said I had to think about it. He bought a lovely engagement ring that he still has in his possession.

We do not live together.

Aiden says he’s certain he wants to spend his life with me. My problem is, I don’t want to marry him.

I am a professional, and Aiden is a tradesman with no money. Even though he kisses the ground I walk on, I don’t think I’d be happy in the long term with him and would always wonder if I could have done better.

On the other hand, I am almost 30 and want children. It seems that nice guys who want to commit are in short supply. Should I settle for Aiden? Breaking up with him, as I did a few months ago for a couple of weeks, would crush him. But he has little social life and no hobbies — just me. — Contemplating In Alberta Dear Contemplating: Nice guys who want to commit may be in short supply, but please do THIS nice guy a favor and end the relationship before you hurt him any more than you already have. Tradesmen can be good providers, husbands and fathers, and Aiden has much to offer a woman who can appreciate him fully. Clearly, that’s not you, so let him go.

Dear Abby: My husband and I were chatting recently and the subject of sperm donation came up. He surprised me by saying he’s vehemently against it, and then compared it to selling your body as in prostitution. He also mentioned he thinks it’s disgusting

because any kids we would potentially have might end up dating their half-siblings.

We let the issue drop, but Abby, I have a secret.

In my early 20s, I participated in an egg donation program to support couples who were unable to get pregnant on their own.

At the time, I didn’t think much about it. I didn’t want kids — and I doubt if I ever will — so I figured it was my contribution to the gene pool without having to raise little humans myself.

I never told my husband about it because it happened before we met. I do know that some of my eggs were successfully transplanted. Should I tell my husband about my donations or keep quiet? We don’t have kids, but are talking about trying in the near future. — Fertile Myrtle Dear Fertile Myrtle: The time to have spoken up was when your husband aired his feelings on the subject of sperm donation.

You did a wonderful thing and with good reason. Your husband should be made aware of that, with no apologies. If you do decide to start a family, considering that there are half-siblings out there, it would be wise to advise your children to have genetic testing done with their prospective spouses.

However, unless you are sure that you want to bring a child into this world, you shouldn’t become a parent.

Trevor Noah to replace Jon Stewart on ‘Daily Show’

By Meredith Blake and Julie Westfall Los Angeles Times

Trevor Noah, a 31-yearold comedian who has been a contributor to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” will be the program’s new host when current host Jon Stewart leaves later this year, the network announced Monday.

“Trevor Noah is an enormous talent. He has an insightful and unique point of view, and most importantly, is wickedly funny,” said Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless in a statement, noting that he would bring “a fresh voice” to the satirical news show.

Noah, a biracial South African who grew up in Johannesburg’s Soweto township, was a surprise pick. Though he has hosted his own program, “Tonight with Trevor Noah,” in his native country, the comedian joined “The Daily Show” as a contributor only

ASSOCIATED PRESS

South African comedian Trevor Noah will become Jon Stewart’s replacement as host, Comedy Central announced Monday.

in December and his name had not been among those floated in the press as a possible successor to Stewart until recently. One of the show’s behind-the-scene podcasts features an interview with Noah.

“It’s an honor to follow Jon Stewart. He and the team at ‘The Daily Show’

have created an incredible show whose impact is felt all over the world,” said Noah in a statement from Comedy Central. “In my brief time with the show they’ve made me feel so welcome. I’m excited to get started and work with such a fantastic group of people.”

Noah will also bring further diversity to latenight TV — and to Comedy Central. “The Nightly Show,” hosted by African American comedian Larry Wilmore, premiered in January in the 11:30 slot vacated by “The Colbert Report.”

In a tweet Monday, comedian Chris Rock — who some had hoped might step in as Stewart’s replacement — thanked President Barack Obama for Noah’s hiring, presumably because both men are biracial and share powerful personal biographies.

As reported by the New York Times, which first broke the news of Stewart’s

replacement on Monday, Noah was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, a relationship that was illegal under apartheid.

Noah is the subject of a documentary, “You Laugh But It’s True,” currently available on Netflix, and rose to international attention in 2012 following a sold-out show, “The Racist,” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a famed launching pad for comedy talent.

Noah also joins a growing list of internationally born late-night hosts that includes “The Daily Show” alum John Oliver, who now hosts “Last Week Tonight” for HBO, and James Corden, who made his debut as host of “The Late Late Show” on CBS last week.

Both are British.

Stewart, 52, announced in February that he would be leaving the show after 16 years at its host. The show premiered in 1996 under then-host Craig Kilborn.

PEOPLE

Attorney: Robin Williams’ wife wants his wedding tuxedo SAN FRANCISCO — The wife and adult children of Robin Williams agreed Monday to meet outside court to try to resolve their dispute over a tuxedo he was married in, photographs taken on his 60th birthday and other items belonging to the late actor.

In papers filed in December, Susan Williams said the contents of the home she shared with Robin Williams should be excluded

from the things the actor left his children from previous marriages.

She also claimed some of her husband’s personal items were taken without her permission.

Williams’ children countered that Susan Williams was “adding insult to a terrible injury” by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of items that their father clearly intended them to have.

They said the belongings include clothing, watches, photos taken prior to his marriage to Susan Williams, and memorabilia and entertainment awards.

“I think we can work our way through this,” Wagstaffe said.

Attorney Meredith Bushnell, who is representing Robin Williams’ children Zachary, Zelda and Cody, said the public dispute has been excruciating for her

clients.

“We would like to see this wrapped up as soon as possible, so they can move on with their lives and continue the grieving process,” the attorney told Judge Cheng.

Robin Williams died in August at his home in Tiburon in the San Francisco Bay Area. The coroner ruled his death a suicide.

5-time County Am champ Whisman dies

The Washington Huskies began spring practice Monday without junior quarterback Cyler Myles, so the focus was on junior Jeff Lindquist, redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels and freshman Jake Browning.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — It’s always about the quarterbacks, isn’t it?

That was coach Chris Petersen’s chief grievance following the Washington Huskies’ first football practice of the spring on Monday morning — that the second question asked of him by a reporter concerned the three guys throwing passes.

“So we’re going to start with the quarterbacks right away, huh?” Petersen said with a smile.

“We’ve got a whole new O-line, a whole new D-line, but we still want to go right back to the quarterbacks? Is that the consensus?”

Well, yeah, it probably is.

The Huskies are of course practicing without fourth-year junior Cyler Miles, last year’s starting quarterback, after the school announced earlier this month that Miles would sit out this spring while taking a voluntary leave of absence.

So three quarterbacks remain on UW’s roster: fourth-year junior Jeff Lindquist, redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels and freshman Jake Browning.

Each took their turns commanding UW’s offense during

Washington redshirt freshman quarterback K.J. Carta-Samuels impressed coaches last season when he ran the Huskies’ scout team offense.

Monday’s session. Players aren’t in pads yet, per NCAA rules, but the Huskies did spend a decent amount of time on 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work.

Lindquist might have had the most consistent day, highlighted by a deep pass over the middle to senior receiver Jaydon Mickens, with sophomore safety

Budda Baker eventually chasing him down after a long gain.

Browning, the 6-foot-2, 205pound freshman who graduated early from Folsom (California) High School so he could enroll at UW in January and participate in these practices, had an up-anddown day.

He threw two interceptions — one to Baker and one to redshirt freshman linebacker Jake Wambaugh — but also flashed promise on a touchdown strike over the middle to sophomore receiver Brayden Lenius that covered roughly 30 yards.

Carta-Samuels, who impressed coaches last season while redshirting and manning the scout-team offense, made effective use of UW’s tight ends — a position group that had a productive practice, particularly third-year sophomore David Ajamu — and looked mostly comfortable.

“I thought today was actually a really good day for us,” said Lindquist, the only quarterback of the three who has played in a game. “Obviously, it was the first day, so there are kinks to work out and stuff, but I thought See UW, Page C2

Breaking news: M’s Miller to cut his hair Shortstop tries to recover from lost weekend

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Shortstop Brad Miller returned to the Seattle Mariners’ lineup on Monday after a tough weekend of battling severe flu-like symptoms and ... wait ... we’ve got news.

Miller revealed he’s planning to ditch the long flowing locks that conjured up images of cover-shot heroes on romance novels. He never quite reached Fabio-level, but Miller’s hairstyle attracted lots of attention earlier in camp.

Alas, it will be but a spring fling.

“I have to cut it,” he said. “It was not my decision, no. But I have to cut it. I’ve got to cut it here soon.”

That’s all Miller offers to enquiring minds in terms of details. He says he’s uncertain as

to how short his new look will be.

A marine-style buzzcut, maybe, like he sported at times in the past?

“I’m not sure,” he hedged. “I haven’t thought about that.”

Now back to regular programming ... Miller has a week to recover from a miserable, strength-draining weekend before the Mariners open their regular season next Monday against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

“Friday, I woke up in the middle of the night and lost everything,” he said. “We had a night game. I came to the (complex) around 10, and they immediately hooked me up with an IV. “I was there for an hour and a

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips are keeping their cards close to their chest with regards to the status of defenseman Ben Betker.

Betker, who exited Saturday’s 6-2 playoff loss to the Spokane Chiefs because of an injury, is being listed by the Tips as day-to-day because of an upper-body injury.

Betker, an overager and alternate captain, was hit into the boards midway through the first period of Saturday’s Game 2 at Xfinity Arena. He came away appearing to clutch his arm and did not return to the game. Betker was scheduled to see a doctor Sunday and did not participate in

Bob Whisman, who died Thursday of cancer at the age 80, is one of the most significant figures in Snohomish County’s long and distinguished golf history.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

Among golfers from Snohomish County, few have ever played the game better than Bob Whisman.

But Whisman’s real gift was a willingness to share his knowledge and understanding of the game with later generations of young golfers from in and around Everett. In this, he achieved a level of almost unmatched greatness.

When he saw kids practicing at a golf course or driving range, Bob Whisman “there wasn’t anybody he’d just walk by,” said Greg Whisman, Bob’s son. “And he wouldn’t pass up the kid who wasn’t hitting it very good to go over to the one who was hitting it better. He liked everybody, and he also liked helping the ones who weren’t very good so he could help them to get better.

“He did all of that on his own, he did it out of good will, and he did it forever. I imagine anybody (who grew up in the Everett area) from the late 1960s and on, if they were in golf he probably helped them.”

Bob Whisman, who died Thursday of cancer at age 80, is one of the most significant figures in Snohomish County’s long and distinguished golf history. A 1952 graduate of Everett High School, he was a top player on one of the state’s premier golf teams.

He also won five Snohomish County Amateur championships, a record that was his alone for almost five decades until it was tied by Alex Stamey of Mill Creek in 2013.

As a golfer, “he was a natural,” recalled Art Abrahamson of Everett, Whisman’s childhood friend and later a high school teammate. “He showed up at the golf course one day and he didn’t See WHISMAN, Page C6

Jackson and Mariner play to tie

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EVERETT — For the Mariner boys soccer team, there was a bunch of scoring chances on Monday night, which meant a 1-1 tie with Jackson was something of a disappointment.

For the Timberwolves, it was something of a relief.

Though the Marauders had several shots from around the goal that just missed, particularly in the second half, the game was decided by single first-half goals by both teams. Jared Davis delivered for Jackson midway through the opening period and Mariner’s Diego Casillas responded roughly a minute later, with those goals standing up through the rest of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime.

Afterward, Marauders coach Vince DeSimone could only smile and shake his head with

practice Monday.

“He has an upper-body injury,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said Monday about Betker. “He started rehab yesterday, we saw some improvement today. Right now, basically all we can really say is he’s day-to-day.”

Betker is an integral part of Everett’s defense. The towering 6-foot-6 blueliner plays heavy minutes against the opposition’s top forwards as a member of Everett’s top defensive pairing. During the regular season he had six goals and 25 assists in 64 games. Just before the playoffs began he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers, the team that selected him in the sixth round of the 2013 NHL draft.

Everett’s options on defense, should Betker be unavailable, are limited. Tristen Pfeifer, who was one of the Tips’ regular defensemen, hasn’t played since Feb. 27 because of an upper-body injury that’s had him listed as week-toweek since it occurred. The only other defenseman currently on the roster who isn’t already in the lineup is 15-year-old call-up Jantzen Leslie, Everett’s first-round pick in the 2-14 bantam draft.

The best-of-seven series between Everett and Spokane resumes Wednesday with Game 3 in Spokane. The series is tied 1-1.

couple of weeks,” Norton said.

“Just getting some crosses into the box and getting a head on it. That’s how a lot of goals are scored nowadays and we were fortunate enough to get a free kick low in the attacking zone and we got a ball right in the mixer, we got a head on it, and it went in.”

The T-wolves had barely finished celebrating the goal when Mariner got the equalizer off of a corner kick opportunity. Abdullah Sabah delivered the ball to teammate Diego Casillas in front of the goal and his header found the left side of the net.

The Marauders kept up the pressure through most of the second half, with three chances in particular that missed the goal by perhaps a combined 10 feet. Midway through the period, Casillas just missed the net twice with a pair of blasts from out in front. Minutes later Lamin

Dampha also narrowly missed from near the right post, leaving DeSimone shaking his head in disbelief at the Mariner bench.

“We’re pretty happy with these kids,” DeSimone said. “We’ve got a lot of new kids on this team and we’re trying them in different positions they’ve never played before. They’re adjusting to each other. But once we start scoring goals, we’re going to be all right. But right now we’re just waiting for that one guy who’s going to finish.”

Norton was pleased with the way his team withstood Mariner’s offensive threats.

“We knew that was coming,” he said. “(The Marauders) play extremely well at home, and I told our guys that they were going to be high pressure and they’re going to want the win.

We knew they were going to have a lot of opportunities and we just had to weather it.”

“We played good,” he said, “but we just could not finish. I don’t know what it is. It’s just a curse on us. We can dominate the whole game … (but) now we have to work on finishing.”

Jackson coach Brett Norton, meanwhile, said he was “happy with the draw. … Coming to Mariner, this is always a tough place to play. They’re a great team, well coached, and very passionate when they play at home. But I thought we played well.”

Mariner was the more persistent offensive team in the game’s early minutes, but it was Jackson that struck first. Just over 20 minutes into the game, the T-wolves had a free kick from about 30 yards out on the left side and Jared Davis sent a long ball toward the goal that was headed into the left side of the net by Olson.

As for Miles, Petersen didn’t rule out the possibility that he might return to the team at some point. But the Huskies have no choice but to proceed as if Miles might not return at all.

Players to Watch

Madeline Mahler So. | Glacier Peak

As a freshman, Mahler posted a 12-4 record and earned a berth in the Class 3A state tournament.

She was a first-team All-Wesco 3A South selection and established herself as one of the top players in the area.

“Madeline is a tough competitor and has the ability to grind out wins against some great opponents,” Glacier Peak coach Micah Perron said. “And she’s able to do it with a smile on her face. She is one of the sweetest girls I have coached and the team loves her. .”

Myint-Zu Kyaw Sr. | Ed-Woodway Kyaw was 15-1 last season while holding down the No. 1 singles position for the

— Rob McMains The Lynnwood girls tennis coach, who frequently calls on Monica Kwong to demonstrate proper technique to her teammates

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Senior Monica Kwong takes part in a drill during her team’s practice Monday at Lynnwood High School.

Kwong said. “It’s not something that will make me tired all the time.

I just really like the way I hit the ball and how I interact with other people. It’s a competitive thing.”

However, it was a bit of a rough return for Kwong. An injury sustained during a physical education class sidelined her for the first few matches of her junior year. As a result of the injury, she was never able to get back to where she had been before.

“I think between being hurt and not having played in the offseason, she just never got to where she hoped to be,” McMains said. “It was kind of a frustrating year.”

Despite no longer playing year

Warriors. She then joined teammate Hannah Rehnfeldt and won the district doubles title to clinch a berth in the state tournament, where the duo placed fourth. Kyaw also placed fifth at state in singles her sophomore year.

“Myint-Zu has been a dedicated player for four years,” Warriors coach Dan Crist said. “She never misses a practice and helps her teammates become stronger players. As a result, she was voted captain by this year’s squad.”

Marina Ciferri Jr. | M. Getchell Ciferri, a third-year player, is the captain of a veteran Marysville Getchell squad that returns nine players. Ciferri won 11 matches at No. 1 singles as a sophomore and now realizes she’s a formidable opponent, MG coach Andrew Christopher said.

“She’s starting to develop some mental toughness and now sees herself as equals with the best in our league, whereas last year, she would enter some

around, Kwong is still a tough matchup for Lynnwood’s opponents. McMains said having a player of Kwong’s ability is invaluable to the Royals.

“She’s a human instructional video,” McMains said. “If you want to see how any shot should be done, she can do it. We just stop practice and say, ‘Watch this. This is how it’s done.’”

Kwong was inserted into Lynnwood’s No. 1 singles slot as soon as she came to the Royals as a freshman. However, Kwong prefers doubles.

“It’s less pressure than singles,” she said. “I feel like I need someone there with me on the court.

matches wide-eyed and sometimes not thinking she was at their level.”

Tina Liu Jr. | M. Terrace Liu finished the 2014 regular season undefeated at No. 2 singles, winning almost half her sets 6-0. In the postseason, she teamed with Allison Lorraine to win the district championship. The duo finished eighth at state and both will be back this season, along with Nicki Bouche, who qualified for the state singles tournament.

“Tina is not only a good player, she is also a very kind and thoughtful girl,” Hawks coach Alberto Ramirez said. “She is a multi-talented and an exceptional human being. Tina is always eager to lend a hand as well as tennis advice to new players. I am lucky to have her on the team.”

Matt Williams Archbishop Murphy | Boys Soccer

Sophomore year at state, Cristina (Borsan) was my partner. I’d known her for a year. I just feel really comfortable having someone with me on the court, backing me up as I play.”

McMains has had Kwong play singles in the regular season, then switch to doubles in the postseason, which isn’t unusual in high school tennis.

The pair are still undecided about how to approach the conference and district tournaments later this season.

“She’s got the mentality of a team-sport athlete,” McMains said.

“She loves being on a team, she loves the team aspect of getting to know new people. She does not like to be the center of attention.”

Kwong made an immediate impact for the Royals, posting an 18-6 record as a freshman and finishing third in the district tournament, making her an alternate to state. In 2014, she went 11-3 at singles in the regular season, before teaming up with Borsan to place sixth in doubles at the state tournament.

Heading into her senior season, Kwong was 35-12 in singles matches and 14-5 playing doubles.

“She’s a great kid,” McMains said.

“She’s the best player in Lynnwood High School history. There’s no doubt about it.”

McMains said Kwong has a drive this year that wasn’t evident a year ago.

“I think now, as a senior, she’s realized, ‘Hey, this is my chance.

I’m going to make the best of it,’” McMains said.

Kwong, whose brother Daniel played tennis at Jackson, wants to go out on top — and she wants to bring her team along with her.

“My goals are to get a lot of team wins and, I guess, to get back to state, either doubles or singles,” Kwong said. “It’s my last year so I want to prove something and make the best out of it.”

BOTHELL — Monica Kwong needed a break from tennis.

After reaching the state tournament in her sophomore year — after playing since she was in elementary school — the Lynnwood star decided she wanted some time away from the sport.

“She’d played year-round up until then and I think she just burned out,” Lynnwood head coach Rob McMains said. “After that, she stopped playing and didn’t pick up a racket again until the (next) season started.”

Kwong returned to the court to play for Lynnwood her junior year.

Now a senior, she is eager to show that even though she’s no longer a year-round club player, she can still get back to state.

“I know this is my last chance to show what I’ve got,” Kwong said. “I want to step up as an upperclassmen and prove to the underclassmen that a team can always rise up.”

Several factors went into Kwong’s decision to abandon club tennis.

Schoolwork, a desire to time with friends and exhaustion each played a role in her decision.

“I just wanted to focus on my studies,” Kwong said. “That’s why I had to step down from club. It’s hard to manage class time and club. I still enjoy playing during the season, I just don’t think it’s something that I would do for the rest of my life. It was a really good rest for me. I’ve been playing since elementary school and I haven’t really gotten free time to hang out with friends.”

Rather than force his star to keep playing tennis, McMains encouraged Kwong to take time off.

“I told her to take a break after her sophomore year,” McMains said. “I felt like, you want to enjoy what you’re doing and I don’t think she was having fun. She loved playing with Cristina (Borsan), her partner, but she wasn’t necessarily having fun playing tennis. Why continue to train year-round if you don’t have that passion for it? She comes out in the spring because she loves being on a team and she loves tennis.”

It was her competitive drive, and love for her teammates, that led Kwong to return her junior year.

“I enjoy just playing because the power and strength that comes with hitting the ball just feels good,”

The facts

Taijuan Walker’s spring scoreless streak ended at 19 innings when he yielded a leadoff homer in the second inning to Matt Joyce. Other than that, Walker was pretty near flawless over seven innings.

One run, three hits, no walks and five strikeouts.

That boosted his spring numbers to 25 innings, one run, nine hits, four walks and 24 strikeouts — which translates to an 0.36 ERA. He is also 3-0.

“I feel really good with all of my pitches,” Walker said. “I feel confident.”

Mike Zunino continued his hot spring with a two-run double in a three-run fourth inning and a leadoff homer in the seventh. The homer was his seventh of the spring. Only just-demoted Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (9) has more.

Robinson Cano also hit a homer as the Mariners snapped a five-game spring skid and improved to 11-15-2 with four games remaining.

Play of the game

Third baseman Kyle Seager moved to his right to handle Joyce’s sharp grounder when the Mariners overshifted their infield in the fourth inning.

Plus

Canucks 4, Blues 1

Zunino battled through an eight-pitch at-bat in the fourth inning against Angels starter Nick Tropeano. Zunino fell behind 1-2 in the count but battled back to 3-2 before yanking a two-run double into the left-field corner. His homer came in his next at-bat. ... Nelson Cruz had two hits in four at-bats. ... Yoervis Medina pitched a one-two-three eighth inning. ... Dominic Leone got the final two outs after Charlie Furbush gave up two runs in the ninth.

Sabres 4, Coyotes 1 Buffalo Arizona

Austin Jackson struck out three times after opening the Mariners’ first inning with a single. ... Furbush deserved a little better. Kaleb Cowart’s one-out RBI triple was a routine fly that center fielder Austin Cousino lost in the sun. But Furbush gave up two other hits and retired only one batter.

Job battles

Walker is, apparently, still battling for a job.

Manager Lloyd McClendon said “not yet” when asked whether Walker had secured a spot in the rotation.

Quotable

“First time seeing (Tropeano),” Zunino said, “a right-on-right changeup with two strikes, that was a good pitch (for a strikeout). But I was able to see all three (of his pitches) in that first at-bat. So I was able to have an idea in the next two (at-bats).”

Extra innings

Right fielder Seth Smith was again scratched because of a sore right ankle. The Mariners shifted Cruz from designated hitter to right field and inserted Rickie Weeks into the lineup as the DH. McClendon said the original lineup is what he’ll likely use next Monday in the season opener against the Angels at Safeco Field: Jackson CF, Smith, RF Cano 2B, Cruz DH, Seager 3B, Logan Morrison 1B, Zunino C, Dustin Ackley LF and Brad Miller SS.

Up next

Felix Hernandez gets his final tune-up for opening day when the Mariners travel to play the Cleveland Indians at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday in Goodyear. Lefty Bruce Chen is scheduled to pitch for the Indians.

MARINERS | Notebook

Taylor starting to get strength back Herald news services PEORIA, Ariz. — Seattle Mariners shortstop Chris Taylor said he’s “starting to get my strength back. I’m starting to actually do some stuff with it. It’s really encouraging.”

An examination last Friday showed Taylor’s right wrist to be healing and cleared him for increased on-field activities.

“I took 15 swings off a tee (on Monday),” he said, “The first 10, I could still feel it. Then it got loose. The last five felt good. It’s still there, but it’s getting better.”

In all likelihood, Taylor will open the season on the 15-day disabled list.

Correia released

pay the bonus, the player also receives a June 1 opt-out clause to become a free agent.

The Mariners, as they did with Correia, are expected to release Chavez, Gutierrez and Saunders, but they might offer to re-sign them to deals not covered by the Rule XX (B) provisions.

Players who receive such offers typically assess other opportunities for a day or two before making a decision.

Security chief Christopher Ellis is the Mariners’ new director for safety and security and will begin his duties next Monday when the club opens the season against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

Ellis previously coordinated security and operations for Major League Baseball’s “Jewel Events,” and handled logistics for events involving President George W. Bush.

The Mariners released veteran right-handed pitcher Kevin Correia and face a Tuesday deadline on three other veteran players they’ve already reassigned to the minor leagues.

Like Correia, outfielders Endy Chavez and Franklin Gutierrez, and left-hander Joe Saunders were in camp as minor-league invites but held the status of Rule XX (B) free agents.

That means a club must notify them at least five days before the season starts as to whether they will make the 25-man roster or enter the season on the major-league disabled list.

In the Mariners’ case, that would mean recalling them to big-league camp and adding them to the 40-man roster. They are not expected to do that with any of the three players.

That leaves the club with two options: They can release the player from his minor-league deal or pay a $100,000 retention bonus. If they

we faced (Colorado’s) Kyle Kendrick, I struck out looking. I got three pitches and didn’t swing at any of them. So it’s easier said than done, but that’s been my focus.

Every pitch, be ready.”

Miller is seeking to build on his secondhalf rebound a year ago after a miserable start. He compiled a .268/.330/.464 slash after the All-Star break, which boosted his final totals to .221/.288/.365.

“I believe there’s a lot more in the tank,” he said. “I felt my second half was more indicative of my play than my first couple of months. But I just think the ability to get out of that first month-and-a-half was enormous.

“It’s maturity. I just feel much more mature. Not saying I’m not going to have some bad stretches, but it’s knowing how to handle them, how to handle a bad at-bat.”

That work can resume now that he’s upright again after a rough weekend.

“It took me off my feet,” Miller said.

“I was done. The last couple of days just nothing. The first day, I was throwing up and had three IV bags put in me here at the (complex). I was done.

“I felt weak just because I haven’t really eaten in a couple of days. I’ve got a couple of meals in me now, and I’m just excited to be living and breathing.”

As for his hair ... we’ll keep you posted.

half, just getting filled up. I’m trying to build back up. I probably lost five pounds. Hopefully, in three or four days, I get back to normal.”

Miller entered camp ticketed for a competitive battle with Chris Taylor to determine the club’s starting shortstop.

Miller emerged as the winner by default when Taylor suffered a broken right wrist on March 13.

While Taylor shows signs of beating the projected recovery period of four-to-six weeks, Miller still has an opportunity, in the interim, to solidify his hold on the job.

His spring priority: Focus at the plate.

“You might only get one (pitch to hit),” said Miller, who had a walk and a line-out in Monday’s 5-3 victory over the Angels.

“It might be the first pitch. It might be with two strikes. It doesn’t matter. You’ve just got to move it.

“My focus is, literally, after every at-bat, I go back and say, ‘OK, I saw five pitches.

How many of those were I genuinely ready to hit?’ On good days, like when I hit the two home runs, I saw four pitches, and I was ready every time.

“Other days ... I can remember when

Raul Ibanez is moving from the field to the broadcast studio.

The former Seattle Mariners outfielder will be a studio analyst for Fox this season, the network announced Monday.

A 19-year veteran who hit 305 career home runs, Ibanez was among the finalists to become Tampa Bay manager, then withdrew from consideration. He played last season for the Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City.

Fox also hired Joe Davis and Aaron Goldsmith as play-by-play announcers. Both have broadcast college football and basketball for Fox. Goldsmith is in his third season with the Mariners broadcast team Fox’s lead crew is unchanged, with play-byplay announcer Joe Buck joined by analysts Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci, and reporters Ken Rosenthal and Erin Andrews.

CITY OF ARLINGTON NOTICE OF SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION HALLER PARK BOAT LAUNCH PLN#145 File Name: Haller Park Boat Launch File Number: PLN#145 Lead Agency: City of Arlington, Department of

Community & Economic Development Description: The Applicant is proposing to construct a new boat launch directly adjacent to the existing failed boat launch. The new launch will require excavating landward in the existing parking lot approximately 50ft. with a total estimate of 200 cubic yards of material removed, 70 cubic yards of structural fill replaced, and built angled slightly downstream to reduce the potential for erosion. The new launch will be a standard WDFW cement plant design with armored cut slopes and re-vegetation of willow, pacific nine-bark and wild rose along the river bank.

Location: Haller Park, 154 W. Cox Avenue, Arlington, WA 98223 Applicant: Bill Blake on behalf of the City of Arlington

bblake@arlingtonwa.gov Staff Contact: Troy Davis, Associate Planner,

tdavis@arlingtonwa.gov Date Checklist Prepared: February 17, 2015 Approvals Required: SEPA Review, JARPA, Shoreline Substantial SEPA Threshold Determination: The City has determined that with the mitigation measures identified herein, this proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request. However, we have identified impacts by the proposed project that requires mitigation. In addition to the requirement that the development must comply with all City of Arlington zoning and development regulations, the following conditions of approval of the permit decision apply: (B)(1) Earth. In order to reduce potential erosion impacts, the Applicant shall utilize basic TESC Best Management Practices during construction.

(B)(2) Air. In order to reduce air impacts, the Applicant shall implement dust control during construction if fugitive dust becomes an issue.

(B)(4) Plants. In order to mitigate for impacts to existing vegetation, Pacific Ninebark, Willow, and Red Osier dogwood species shall be planted on the cutbanks upstream and downstream from the new launch. Additionally, removal of any significant tree shall be replaced at a ratio of 3:1.

(B)(7)(a) Environmental Health. In order to mitigate for potential environmental health hazards, applicable BMP’s shall be utilized during construction to reduce the risk of contamination.

(B)(7)(b) Environmental Health. In order to mitigate for potential noise impacts, the Applicant shall limit hours of construction between the hours of 7AM and 7PM. (B)(13) Historic and Cultural Preservation. In order to mitigate for potential historic and cultural impacts, the Applicant shall submit an UDP, Coordinate with the Stillaguamish Tribal regarding the construction of the boat launch, allow Tribal Monitors to be present during any construction activity related to the boat launch, and have a professional archeologist present during the excavation for the new boat launch.

Disclaimer: The determination that an environmental impact statement does not have to be filed does not mean there will be no adverse environmental impacts. The City of Arlington codes governing noise control, land use performance standards, constr uction and improvements of roads, off site road improvement obligations, drainage control, traffic, school, park, stormwater, and utility mitigations, fire protection; and building practices will provide substantial mitigation of the aforementioned impacts.

The issuance of this MDNS should not be interpreted as acceptance or approval of this proposal as presented. The City of Arlington reserves the right to deny or approve said proposal subject to conditions if it is determined to bin the best interest of the city and/or necessary for the general health, safety, and welfare of the public to do so.

Date of Determination of MDNS: March 27, 2015 Comment Period: There is a 14-day comment period for this MDNS. If you would like to comment on this Threshold Determination, written comments must be received prior to 5:00 p.m. on April 10, 2015.

Trinity Lutheran hires Patrick as golf coach Herald news services Val Patrick has been hired as the men’s and women’s golf coach at Everett-based Trinity Lutheran College.

The school’s athletic director, Matt Koenigs, made the announcement last week.

Patrick comes to Trinity Lutheran with eight years of experience as an LPGA-certified teaching professional. She has served as a teaching professional at Puetz

know anything about golf. But a year later he was shooting par.”

In the mid-1960s, Whisman became the head pro at Everett’s Legion Memorial Golf Course.

In 1972 he also became the head pro at Walter E. Hall Golf Course, Everett’s second public course.

He held both positions until his retirement in the late 1990s.

But for everything he accomplished as a player, and for all the later demands he faced as a club pro at two busy municipal courses, Whisman never gave up wanting to help other golfers improve, particularly youngsters.

“He’d ask politely first,” Greg Whisman said. “He’d say, ‘If you want a tip, I can show you a tip.’ It was always simple. Maybe it was a change of grip or of ball position, and then they’d hit a few good ones. ... He loved doing that so much.”

Golf in Seattle, and as the general manager and head professional at Leavenworth Golf Course.

“With Val, we know we’ve hired a wonderful teacher, a strong leader and a great fit for Trinity,” Koenigs said in a statement released by the school. “We took our time with the hiring process to make sure we got it right and I think we’ve hit the jackpot as a result.”

Koenigs said Trinity Lutheran is looking to upgrade its golf programs in advance of becoming a

full-time member of the NAIA in the fall. The school is taking steps to secure a home course, and budgets for the two teams have been “re-tooled.”

“I see tremendous potential to build a strong golf tradition here,” Patrick said in the press release. “I felt called to this opportunity, and I’m excited to see what God has in store for me at Trinity.”

Kent State softball pitcher Ronnie

Ladines was named the Mid-American Conference East Division Pitcher of the Week for March 16-22.

Ladines, a sophomore right-hander, had seven strikeouts in a 5-1 win over North Carolina Central on March 20, then pitched a two-hit shutout the following day in a 13-0 victory over Rider.

On the season, Ladines is 7-3 with a 1.91 earned-run average and 53 strikeouts in 58.2 innings.

Ladines is a graduate of Arlington High School. As a senior, she helped lead the Eagles to the 2013 Class 4A state championship.

Bob Whisman was born in Paradise, Montana, but moved with his family to Everett as a boy. After high school, he spent a year at Everett Junior College before joining the army, and while stationed at Fort Lewis south of Tacoma he continued to play golf.

After leaving the army he worked briefly as an assistant pro at Tacoma’s Allenmore Golf Course, and then returned to Everett, got a job outside of golf and also regained his amateur status, followed by two more County Am titles to go with the three he won as a younger man.

He later turned pro again to take the job at Legion Memorial, and it became his workplace for the next 30-plus years.

“Bob was a really good guy, and he was a fixture in the Snohomish County golf scene,” said Brent Webber, the head pro at Everett Golf and Country Club and a childhood friend of Greg Whisman. “And he always treated us kids really well.”

“I always thought I was going to be a golf professional like Bob until our family dentist talked me out of it one day,” said Bob Lee of Everett, himself a former County Am winner who had a long career in dentistry. “The impact Bob had on all of the junior golfers out there — and myself as a teen-ager — as a mentor and a role model ... he was just a very generous person with his time and his talent.”

But for all his kindness, Whisman was extremely competitive.

Lee worked at Legion Memorial as a young man, and in those years there was a Ping-Pong table in a back room. When the golf was slow on days of bad weather, the staff would pass the time playing Ping-Pong.

“I don’t think there was anybody out there that beat him,” Lee said.

“He’d spot everybody points and still win. Whether it was pitching coins at a jar or playing gin rummy, he was always better than anybody else. He was very competitive and very talented, but yet he wasn’t

one to really show it either.

“Bob was kind of the eternal optimist. He always saw the glass as being half full. He was an amazing talent and a remarkable individual,” Lee said.

In his later years, Whisman kept on playing golf while finding time for his other passions, especially fishing. Every year he showed up for the final round of the County Am, and in 2013 he was there to shake Stamey’s hand after the latter’s record-tying victory.

Even as his health deteriorated, Whisman never gave up wanting to help young golfers improve.

“If he said he was going to be there to help a team or an individual player, and even if he wasn’t feeling good that day, he’d still go,” Greg Whisman said. “He would never call anybody and cancel. He constantly wanted to be around (golf and golfers). It was life.”

Over the years, Greg Whisman added, “there was just a lot of people that he touched. He was a great man.”
