County leaders’ spat spills over Executive John Lovick contends comments made

by Chairman Dave Somers at a Tulalip breakfast are racist.

By Noah Haglund

County and Tulalip tribal governments closer together.

Instead, fallout from the meeting has left tribal leaders worried about getting pulled into a festering political spat

Herald Writer

TULALIP — A leadership breakfast here Friday was supposed to bring Snohomish

at the county, one that’s now acquired racial overtones.

The controversy came to light in a letter County Executive John Lovick hand-delivered Monday to County Council Chairman Dave Somers.

Both men had attended the Tulalip breakfast, along with tribal board members and other

county officials. At one point, Somers talked about a traditional song that tribal leaders would have recognized as part of their culture.

Lovick, however, construed it as a racist joke and wrote to express his outrage.

“At this gathering you were speaking and chose to make

the following joke to all: ‘Do you know why Indians have no enemies? Because they killed them all,’ ” Lovick’s letter says.

she wants a second term.

If voters decide on a manager at the helm rather than a mayor, Granite Falls would become the fifth city in the county with that type of government. Leaders in other cities here have sought to move from mayors to managers, but none have been successful in more than 13 years, Fell said.

EVERETT — A tentative agreement has been reached in a labor dispute between Providence Regional Medical Center Everett and 1,400 registered nurses.

An agreement was reached Monday evening, said Tom Geiger, a spokesman for United Food and Commercial Workers union Local 21.

“The bargaining team fully recommends a yes vote,” he said. Details of the agreement, including its length, will not be disclosed publicly until after a vote on the contract, which is scheduled for April 29, he said.

Union representatives have said for the past several months that the biggest issue holding up an agreement was staffing levels. The union said more nurses are needed to adequately meet the treatment needs of patients.

If either side moved on the issue of staffing, neither was saying.

Speaking on behalf of Providence, Barbara Hyland-Hill, the chief nursing officer, said Tuesday that staffing is an issue “we continue to work through” but added that the hospital had agreed to not disclose details of the proposed contract until after the union vote.

In February, Hyland-Hill conceded that there had been a significant increase in the number of patients being treated at the hospital, creating some of staffing problems.

Hyland-Hill said that the tentative agreement was reached about 8:30 p.m. Monday. “Both parties were

Granite Falls mulls leadership change

GRANITE FALLS — Voters here get to decide this year

whether to remake their government and shift power from an elected mayor to a hired city manager.

It was Mayor Joshua Golston’s idea to lessen the authority of his position. The City Council last month voted 3-1 to put the issue in front of voters in November.

Generally, a council-manager administration is run more like a business, where the manager serves as a chief executive officer who oversees city staff and operations while the council acts as a board of directors.

Could airline seats be dangerous?

group set up by the Department of Transportation dove into all those issues Tuesday at a public hearing as part of its role to make nonbinding suggestions to government regulators.

Charlie Leocha, the consumer representative on the committee, said the government sets standards for the conditions for dogs flying as cargo but doesn’t dictate minimum space standards for passengers.

“In a world where animals have more rights to space and food than humans,” Leocha said, “it is time that the DOT and FAA take a stand for humane

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The shrinking space on airplanes is surely uncomfortable, but it might also be dangerous for passengers’ health and safety.

Planes are filled with more passengers than ever before. Fliers are older and heavier. Flight attendants warn about an increase in air rage, and experts question if having rows of seats packed closer together might make it harder for passengers to evacuate after a crash.

treatment of passengers.”

Fliers last summer squeezed into the least amount of personal space in the history of flying. In July, U.S. airlines sold a record 87.8 percent of seats on domestic flights, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statics. And that figure does not include all the seats occupied by passengers who redeemed frequent flier miles or airline employees flying for free.

“Unfortunately, the days of the empty middle seat are a thing of the past,” said Julie Frederick, a representative for the American Airlines flight attendants union.

Following the implementation of checked-bag fees in 2008, Frederick said, more and more passengers are carrying on bags, fighting for overhead bin space. That anger carries over through the flight as passengers bump elbows on armrests and bang their knees against tray tables.

She said there are more cases of air rage, many of which go unreported.

Questions were also raised if the increased density of seats means passengers won’t be able to evacuate fast enough after a crash.

The Federal Aviation

Administration runs various tests including how fast passengers can evacuate a plane and how fast they can put on a life preserver.

But Cynthia Corbertt, a human factors researcher with the FAA, testified that it conducts those tests using planes with 31 inches between each row of seats.

Many passenger jets today have less legroom.

On long flights, there is another risk for fliers: deep vein thrombosis, where a blood clot forms, typically in a leg vein. If that clot gets lose and travels into the lungs, it can cause a blockage.

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. — Percy Sledge, who soared from parttime singer and hospital orderly to lasting fame with his aching, forlorn performance on the classic “When a Man Loves a Woman,” died Tuesday in Louisiana. He was 74.

His family said in a statement released through his manager, Mark Lyman, that he died “peacefully” at his home in Baton Rouge after a yearlong struggle with cancer. The cause of death was liver failure, Lyman said.

A No. 1 hit in 1966, “When a Man Loves a Woman” was Sledge’s debut single, an almost unbearably heartfelt

Percy Sledge was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 at an ceremony in New York.

ballad with a resonance he never approached again.

Few singers could have.

Its mood set by a mournful organ and dirge-like

tempo, “When a Man Loves a Woman” was for many the definitive soul ballad, a testament of blinding, allconsuming love haunted by fear and graced by overwhelming emotion.

The song was a personal triumph for Sledge, who seemed on the verge of sobbing throughout the production, and a breakthrough for Southern soul.

It was the first No. 1 hit from the burgeoning Muscle Shoals music scene in northern Alabama, where Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones among others would record, and the first gold record for Atlantic Records.

Atlantic Records executive Jerry Wexler later called the song “a transcendent moment” and “a holy love hymn.” Sledge’s

hit became a standard that sustained his long touring career in the U.S., Europe and South Africa and led to his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. It was a favorite at weddings — Sledge himself did the honors at a ceremony for musician and actor Steve Van Zandt — and often turned up in movies, including “The Big Chill,” “The Crying Game” and a 1994 Meg Ryan drama named for the song’s title.

“When a Man Loves a Woman” was rereleased after being featured in Oliver Stone’s Vietnam War film “Platoon” in 1987 and reached No. 2 in Britain.

Michael Bolton topped the charts in the 1990s with a cover version and Rolling Stone magazine later

ranked it No. 53 on its list of the greatest songs of all time.

On Twitter Bolton called Sledge an “inspiration” and a gracious human being.

Recognizable by his wide, gap-toothed smile, Sledge had a handful of other hits between 1966 and 1968, including “Warm and Tender Love,” “It Tears Me Up,” “Out of Left Field” and “Take Time to Know Her.” He returned to the charts in 1974 with “I’ll Be Your Everything.”

David Hood, 71, one of the legendary “Swampers” studio musicians from Muscle Shoals, said he owed his career to Sledge and described him as the “nicest person you’d ever want to meet.”

He is survived by his wife and 12 children.

NEW YORK — Remember those declarations that teens are done with Facebook? Think again.

ALLERGIES? ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO TREES, WEEDS, MOLD OR FOOD?

13 percent use Google Plus, 13 percent are Instagram users and 3 percent use Snapchat.

The Pew center didn’t compare the latest survey to its previous studies on the subject because it switched its national representative sample from telephone interviews to an online format, potentially skewing results when comparisons are made.

The latest study points to Facebook as a dominant force in teens’ online

lives even as Instagram and Snapchat have gained momentum.

Facebook was the site they used most frequently, at 41 percent, followed by Instagram at 20 percent and Snapchat at 11 percent. Boys are more likely than girls to report they visit Facebook most often — at 45 percent versus 36 percent of girls.

Pew’s data also revealed a distinct pattern in social media use by socio-economic status.

Teens from households with earnings of less than $50,000 are more likely to use Facebook the most — 49 percent compared with 37 percent of teens from households with earnings of $50,000 or more.

As far as how much time is spent on social media, 24 percent of teens overall go online “almost constantly,” the study said, with 56 percent saying they go online several times a day and 12 percent reporting once-aday use.

Masked-man holdups could be linked

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Snohomish County sheriff’s detective did double duty Monday detaining an armed robbery suspect in Everett.

Detective Dave Bilyeu was driving past the intersection of 37th Street and Rockefeller Avenue when he saw two men in a shoving match shortly after 6:30 p.m.

One of them — an Everett man,

28 — was dressed in all black. He wore a ski mask over his face.

When the detective activated the siren and emergency lights on his unmarked vehicle, the masked man ran and jumped into a red pickup truck.

The suspect drove about a block before pulling over and surrendering.

The alleged robbery victim told the detective he was walking out to his car and the suspect confronted him with a handgun and

demanded his wallet. The victim grabbed the gun and began punching the suspect.

When the deputy drove by, the suspect dropped the gun and ran.

A dark ski mask was found on the floor of the pickup.

The gun was found near the scene of the scuffle. It turned out to be an airsoft gun, which looked like a real handgun.

Two witnesses observed the holdup.

Everett police officer Aaron

Snell said the city appreciated the extra help.

“We work closely with other jurisdictions,” Snell said. “It’s always nice when we can assist them and thy can assist us.”

The suspect was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of robbery.

That might not be all of his legal troubles.

Mukilteo police are investigating a robbery that occurred earlier Monday.

Spreading the stay-clean message

In that case, a man in a black ski mask and driving a red pickup held up a man who was walking a dog in the 8900 block of 49th Avenue W. The victim told police he handed over his wallet after being confronted by a man pointing a handgun at him.

“We are working with Everett police to see if the two cases are linked,” Mukilteo police Sgt. Cheol Kang said.

Initiative’s sidewalk ordinance dropped

Former NFL wide receiver Trent Shelton, founder of the nonprofit organization RehabTime, will speak Wednesday at Mariner High.

EVERETT — A proposed ordinance that would have prohibited people from sitting or lying down on sidewalks has been pulled from the City Council’s agenda for its meeting Wednesday.

The ordinance also would have prohibited camping or erecting structures such as tents in public rights-of-way along Smith Avenue between the Everett Gospel Mission and Everett Station.

The ordinance, and two others that are still on the agenda, have drawn some criticism from the public, but it was members of the city’s Community Streets Initiative task force that provided the impetus to pull the bill.

“They pulled the no-sit/no-lie ordinance, and that was because we were getting some questions from the task force about what was in it,” said Meghan Pembroke, Everett’s communications director.

The task force last year issued a list of 63 recommendations to help combat the city’s chronic problems with homelessness, mental illness, addiction and public nuisances.

The proposed “no-sit/no-lie” ordinance was not among the recommendations.

Megan Dunn, a task force members who sits on the city’s Human Needs Committee, was resolutely opposed to that specific ordinance.

“I would consider it a violation of our human rights and dignity to not be able to sit or stand or lie down,” Dunn said.

Bid for lighter sentence in vehicular homicide denied EVERETT — In many ways, Brandon M. Jones has worked to turn his life around.

He’s taken up running to improve his fitness.

He’s attended AA meetings almost daily to keep his sobriety and to try to help others do the same.

He has helped his mom after his father died.

All his efforts at selfimprovement could not undo the seriousness of his crime.

Jones had been drinking.

He told police afterward he thought he might have hit a deer.

Jones, 34, also has a 2004 drunken-driving conviction. He faced a standard range sentence of 31 to 41 months in prison. He also was eligible for a first-time offender waiver, which could have resulted in 90 days or less in jail.

Sidick said. Hundreds of people have reached out, sharing prayers and hope for good news.

As of Tuesday afternoon, an online fundraiser, Tommy Sidick Medical Fund, at www.gofundme. com/qhkcq4, had collected nearly $16,000.

U.S. 2 traffic snarled by two car crashes EVERETT — No serious injuries were reported after crashes closed down westbound U.S. 2 for much of Tuesday morning.

Both crashes happened on the trestle shortly before 9 a.m., Washington State Patrol trooper Travis Shearer said. The highway was closed for about 90 minutes.

Around that time, a disabled vehicle on the westbound onramp from 20th Street SE added to the significant backup, according to the state Department of Transportation.

One of the crashes involved three cars, one of which rolled over, Shearer said. It happened mid-span, just before the Snohomish River. Injuries were described as minor, but folks still were being evaluated, he said.

There was no immediate word on the

The other crash involved a two-car fender-bender, also on the trestle, with no injuries. The fender-bender happened east of the three-car crash, Shearer said.

Troopers were investigating whether the fender-bender was related to the backup. It wasn’t immediately clear which happened first.

“These reasons seemed to us to be consistent with the goals of the Task Force, and in fact I have represented it as such.

Obviously, that view is not shared by all,” Hall wrote.

Hall was unable to be reached for comment Tuesday.

Pembroke said the city will continue to discuss the ordinance and answer the task force’s questions before bringing the proposal back to the council.

Kurtz agreed, saying it would be “just too disproportionate to the crime” to sentence Jones the 90-days-or-less option.

He handed down a 31-month sentence.

The judge then urged Jones to keep trying to take positive steps with his life.

“Nothing can make up for what has occurred, but you, sir, can have a good and constructive life,” he said.

The teens allegedly were in a white 2004 Buick LeSabre that ran a red light and struck the sergeant’s patrol car.

It happened about 10:45 p.m. at 172nd Street NE and Smokey Point Boulevard, just east of I-5. One of the city’s busiest intersections, it’s next to the Arlington police satellite office.

The sergeant was taken to a local hospital and released hours later without serious injury.

The Buick, which had significant front-end damage, was found ditched in a nearby parking lot. Police tracked down the owner, who said the teens had permission to drive the car that night.

Detectives allege that witnesses overheard Rodrigo and Martin discussing the crash.

The encampment under the I-5 overpass had become dangerous, Hall wrote, with several incidences of assaults and weapons charges, and it was interfering with the regular operations of the mission and nearby businesses.

The city put up fences after dispersing much of a crowd of about 60 people that had been camping near the mission, but smaller numbers have since returned to the area.

School chief touts plan to balance education budget

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn said Tuesday the Legislature can find some of the money it needs to answer the Washington Supreme Court’s decision about education funding by transferring local levy dollars into the state general fund.

Dorn made the suggestion Tuesday at a news conference on his ideas

for the state education budget.

He called on the Legislature to add $2.2 billion in new dollars to state education spending, well above the budget plans proposed so far from the state Senate and House, which proposed between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion in new education spending.

When asked why he waited until the last two weeks of the legislative session to make his proposal, Dorn said, “I just got the feeling I think we’re going

to be here longer than the next two weeks. I think we’ve got a lot of time to talk about this and to do this and to get it right.”

Like the legislative proposals, his plan includes money for all-day kindergarten, smaller classes and more money for teacher salaries and classroom support. He also wants to reform the state levy system — something lawmakers also are working on. He also proposed reforms for the state education compensation plan,

including regional bargaining for teacher salaries.

The Supreme Court has said the state’s reliance on local levy dollars to pay for basic education is unconstitutional because levies are not a stable, sustainable source of money for education and aren’t uniform across the state.

The Washington Education Association has estimated that districts across the state spent $1.6 billion in levy dollars during the 2013-14 school year on the salaries of

teachers and other school employees.

Dorn said he would offer more details on paying for his plan later this week, but he took a lot of time during his news conference to talk about local levies.

Lawmakers expect to announce their own plans later this week for what to do about local levies.

Dorn also recommended partially funding class-size reductions in all grades — not just kindergarten through third grade as lawmakers would do — but

giving school districts until 2021 to complete the classsize reductions voters approved in November.

Dorn has said the Legislature isn’t doing enough to make sure the state fully pays for basic education by the 2018 deadline set by the Washington Supreme Court.

“They’re in contempt of court. They have to do something that gets them off the hook. I think it’s got to be bigger than what’s out there today to get them off the hook,” Dorn said.

struggling with addiction and their families find treatment and support.

“I plan on doing this the rest of my life. It is my purpose,” she said.

Greinke will be among those sharing their stories Wednesday night at an anti-drug event at Mariner High School. The program, “Silent Battles: Exposing Addiction, Self Harm and Depression, Restoring Hope and Inspiring Change,” is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. at the south Everett school, part of the Mukilteo School District.

Trent Shelton, a former NFL wide receiver and motivational speaker, will be part of the event, along with Cmdr. Pat Slack of the Snohomish Regional Drug & Gang Task Force.

Heroin use among kids has recently been in local news. According to Sharon Salyer’s April 9 Herald article, 5.7 percent of Snohomish County 12thgraders responding to a Healthy Youth Survey last October reported having tried heroin — a higher number than the survey’s statewide average of 3.2 percent. About 2.8 percent

of the county’s eighthgraders who took the survey and 3.6 percent of 10th-graders reported that they had also tried heroin.

Behind those numbers are real teens, and real families grieving for young loved ones lost to drug use.

Hope Soldiers’ board of directors is “made up of women, six other gals besides me,” Greinke said.

The board’s vice president is Tracy Pegg, whose 18-year-old son, Evan Block, died of a heroin overdose in his Everett home Nov. 8, 2013. Evan had been a drug court participant at Denney Juvenile Justice Center, and hadn’t used for more than four months before he relapsed and died.

Greinke said she lost “my best friend and the love of my life” to a heroin overdose earlier this year.

Nick Mirante, 19, of Mill Creek, died Feb. 16. “He was the reason I kept doing Hope Soldiers,” said Greinke, who aims to hold two or more anti-drug programs at schools each year.

It’s a need Stephen Londino sees every day.

A youth substance abuse counselor with Therapeutic

Health Services, he works with teens at Granite Falls and Lake Stevens schools.

He was formerly a drug and alcohol counselor in the Snohomish School District.

Londino began seeing a rise in heroin and opiate use among teens while working at Glacier Peak and Snohomish high school in 2010. “What I’m seeing now, I’m kind of amazed at the number of overdose deaths recently,” he said Tuesday.

Teens are mostly smoking heroin rather than injecting it, he said. “Heroin is so cheap, they don’t see it as a big thing,” said Londino, who noted the lack of treatment facilities for teens in Snohomish County.

Norman Johnson, CEO of Seattle-based Therapeutic Health Services, said the organization plans to open an opioid treatment facility later this year in Snohomish. While he said most teen clients in King County are in treatment for marijuana use, in Snohomish County “teens are leaning toward opioids.”

Slack noted the spike in heroin overdose deaths locally.

At Mariner, Slack said he

Officials: Seattle cargo hold incident is a warning

By Manuel Valdes and David Koenig Associated Press

SEATTLE — The misadventure of a baggage handler who fell asleep in the cargo hold of a jetliner should be a warning for airlines to improve security procedures, safety experts said Tuesday.

The worker banged on the plane for help shortly after takeoff Monday from Seattle. Pilots heard the noise and quickly returned to the airport. The worker was not injured.

The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating, but few new details emerged Tuesday about the bizarre incident.

Alaska Airlines said the leader of a baggage-loading crew noticed the worker was missing and tried to call

and text him before concluding that he had gone home when his 9 ½-hour shift ended.

Safety experts say the crew should not have closed the cargo doors of Flight 448 to Los Angeles until they had accounted for the missing worker. “This is a ‘huh?’ moment,” said Thomas Anthony, director of the aviation security program at the University of Southern California and a former FAA official.

“That supervisor said, ‘Huh, I wonder where Louie is?’ The ‘huh’ is a yellow light that you need to pay attention to,” he said. “The worst thing you can do is just say, ‘It’s probably nothing.’ ” Anthony said airports are responsible for screening workers with access to planes while airlines are responsible for the security

of an aircraft.

A U.S. aviation official said there is no legal requirement that airline crews check a cargo hold before every flight. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because airline security programs contain sensitive information and are not public documents.

Incidents like Monday’s are rare but have occurred.

In 2011, a US Airways bag handler was accidentally locked inside the cargo hold of a plane at Reagan National Airport. A passenger heard the man banging on the underside of the floor and alerted a flight attendant.

In 2009, a bag handler for JetBlue flew from New York to Boston in the cargo hold. The 21-year-old said he fell asleep and panicked when he realized the plane

was in flight. He used his cellphone to call the airline during the flight.

In 2005, a bag handler at LaGuardia Airport in New York fell asleep in the belly of a Spirit Airlines plane and woke up in Detroit.

Alaska Airlines said the baggage handler in Monday’s incident was in a pressurized, temperaturecontrolled part of the cargo hold. That’s much safer than the aircraft wheel wells, where stowaways sometimes hide with no protection from the thin air and extreme cold at high cruising altitudes. Still, a 15-year-old stowaway survived a flight in a wheel well last year from California to Hawaii.

The Seattle worker put in a long day before dozing off in the cargo bay.

Alaska Airlines said in a

statement that he was part of a four-person team loading baggage onto the flight and was scheduled to work from 5 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Flight 448 departed for Los Angeles at 2:39 p.m.

The plane had just departed when the pilots and first-class passengers heard pounding, the airline said. The captain declared an emergency and turned back to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The plane was in the air just 14 minutes.

Medics checked the worker, an employee of Alaska Airlines contractor Menzies Aviation, and found he wasn’t hurt, airport spokesman Perry Cooper said. The name of the worker has not been released.

The man was also evaluated at a hospital and

passed a drug test after being released, airline spokesman Bryan Zidar said.

Officials for Menzies Aviation did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press.

Airlines are increasingly turning over airport jobs to contractors to save money.

Alaska Airlines outsourced bag-handling work at the Seattle airport in 2005.

The Service Employees International Union, which is trying to organize airport workers, said outsourcing has resulted in the hiring of low-wage workers who often hold more than one job and don’t work for long as a baggage handler.

“These operations require a stable, well-trained workforce,” said Heather Szerlag, a union official. “We see this as a significant problem.”

Couple killed by falling concrete slab were youth ministers

By Ted S. Warren Associated Press

BONNEY LAKE — A Washington couple who died when a large concrete slab fell from a highway overpass onto their pickup truck were youth ministers in their 20s and parents to a 6-monthold baby also killed in the freak accident.

Josh and Vanessa Ellis and their baby, Hudson,

died Monday when a chunk of concrete weighing thousands of pounds fell onto the cab of their truck as they drove underneath the span, said James Ludlow, their pastor at EastPointe Foursquare Church.

“It’s a tragic event,” Ludlow said Tuesday. “In the blink of an eye, inhale and exhale, and they’re in the presence of God.” Construction crews were

installing a sidewalk on the Highway 410 overpass in Bonney Lake when a concrete barrier fell to the roadway below around 10:30 a.m.

“We were just heading down the street ... and I could hear three snaps and down it went on top of the truck,” Dawn Nelson, who was riding in a car behind the pickup, told Seattle television station KING. “There was nothing

anyone could do. It was just surreal.”

It was not immediately known what caused the concrete structure to fall. Bonney Lake police, the state Department of Transportation and representatives from contractor WHH Nisqually are investigating.

The material that fell was part of the original span, which was built in 1992 and has a sufficiency rating of 95.3 out of 100, city spokesman Woody Edvalson said.

Flowers, a cross and a teddy bear have been

55th

Sound Harley-Davidson

placed near the overpass, which has reopened along with the road underneath it. But debris from the concrete slab is still on the ground.

Ludlow described the Ellis family as “great people” who were loved by kids in the church’s congregation.

They were “the type of people everybody loves and gravitates to,” Ludlow said.

Shane Lance, another pastor at the church, said “our hearts ache ... they were just really sweet, lighthearted people.”

55th

Construction for a $1.8 million city sidewalk project to improve pedestrian access along the highway started about a month ago.

WHH Nisqually had crews on scene Monday.

“The project was to add a pedestrian walkway along that overpass on SR 410,” Edvalson said. “This accident occurred as a result of that effort.”

The project included rebuilding the north side of the bridge, adding a sewer line, widening the highway, and adding bases for future streetlights, according to city documents.

OLYMPIA — The Legislature on Tuesday approved an overhaul of the state’s medical marijuana market, sending to Gov. Jay Inslee a bill that seeks to eliminate unregulated dispensary sales now that the state’s recreational market is in place.

The Senate concurred with changes made to the bill in the House last week, and then voted 41-8 to pass it out of the chamber on to the governor for his expected signature.

After the vote, the bill’s sponsor said that state could no longer wait to reconcile the medical and recreational markets.

“The reality is that we have a thriving illicit market,” said Republican Sen. Ann Rivers of La Center.

“It’s essential that we shut that down. But it was also essential that our patients had a clean supply and an adequate supply.”

Among its many provisions, Senate Bill 5052 would create a database of patients. Changes made in the House included making voluntary the patient registry that was mandatory under the original Senate version. However, unregistered patients wouldn’t be allowed to possess the same amounts of marijuana or enjoy similar tax breaks that registered patients would.

Under the measure,

patients who are entered into the database and hold an authorization card will be allowed to possess three times as much marijuana as is allowed under the recreational law: 3 ounces dry, 48 ounces of marijuanainfused solids, 216 ounces liquid and 21 grams of concentrates. Such a patient could also grow up to six plants at home, unless authorized to receive more by a health professional.

For someone who doesn’t get an authorization card but is considered a qualified patient, the limit is the same as the recreational limit of one ounce. However, such a patient would be allowed to grow up to four plants and possess up to six ounces from those plants.

The passage of Initiative 502 in 2012 allowed the sale of marijuana to adults for recreational use at licensed stores, which started opening last summer. Recreational businesses have complained that they’re being squeezed by medical dispensaries that have proliferated in many parts of the state, providing lesseror untaxed alternatives to licensed recreational stores.

Senate Bill 5052 would crack down on collective gardens, eliminating the current collective garden structure starting July 1, 2016, but allowing fourpatient “cooperatives.” The cooperatives would be limited to a maximum of 60 plants, and the location of the collective would have to

be registered with the state, and couldn’t be within one mile of a licensed pot retailer.

But it would also provide an avenue for existing collective gardens to stay in business, by requiring the state Liquor Control Board — which would be renamed the Liquor and Cannabis Board — to adopt a merit-based system for granting marijuana licenses. Among the factors that could be considered are whether the applicant previously operated a collective garden, had a business license or paid business taxes.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, of Seattle, said that while she agreed that there needed to be an

alignment of the two systems, she was voting no “because I need to make that point for the patients.”

“I’m worried about the patients who are dependent upon the places that they know well,” she said.

Another bill passed by the House last week that is awaiting action in the Senate calls for eliminating the three-tier tax structure voters approved in Initiative 502 and replacing it with a single excise tax of 30 percent at the point of sale that everyone would have to pay, both patients and recreational users. However, under that bill, patients who are in the registry and have an authorization card would be exempt from additional sales tax on their purchases.

Tax Day source of unhappiness for pot industry

approved marijuana use in some form.

That’s a selling point for two Oregon Democrats, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who want Congress to pass the Small Business Tax Equity Act, a bill that would allow operators of state-approved marijuana businesses to deduct expenses from their federal taxes. They said that marijuana businesses cannot deduct any common expenses, such as the cost of payroll, rent or utilities, and they can’t claim a tax credit for hiring a veteran.

In a statement last week, Wyden, the top-ranked Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said the federal tax law “has not caught up to the fact that it’s 2015.”

A similar effort fizzled in

the last session of Congress, but backers of the legislation say they’re optimistic.

“It’s going to be tough, but we’ll keep pressing,” said Democratic Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, who plans to cosponsor the legislation.

While Smith and Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott were the only members of the Washington congressional delegation to co-sponsor the bill in the last session of Congress, support is growing. Democratic Rep. Denny Heck, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, said Congress should change the law to give marijuana businesses “the same treatment as any other legitimate law-abiding business.” Washington Democratic Rep.

But he’s already worried about next year’s tax bill.

He said his company employs five people and that business deductions would help him create more jobs.

“These deductions have been put in place for a reason ... It doesn’t make a lot of sense to try to inhibit our growth,” Cihlar said. “We’re taxed coming, going, left and right.”

Thompson, the coowner of Altitude, said Congress could provide an easy fix by lifting the criminal penalties for marijuana use and removing the drug from the list of Schedule I substances, the same category reserved for heroin and cocaine.

For now, he’s just hoping to make ends meet, relying on the $23 he gets to keep for every $100 worth of marijuana he sells.

“We’ve got to pay all our expenses,” Thompson said. “We’ve got to cover our cost of goods. We’ve got to service our debt.

And hopefully we’ll get a profit.”

Kilmer is undecided whether he’ll back the bill, a spokesman said.

Steve DeAngelo, who runs a medical marijuana dispensary in Oakland, California, said Congress has experienced a “sea change” on pot policy in the past two years. Most notably, he pointed to a bill passed in December that forbids the Justice Department from using any funds to prosecute medical marijuana operations in states that have opted to legalize them.

DeAngelo, executive director of Oakland’s Harborside Health Center medical marijuana dispensary, is involved in a long-running dispute with the IRS, challenging a $2.5 million tax bill from his first two years of operations.

With the issue still tied up in court, Tax Day means more uncertainty for him.

“Most Americans feel a little bit of anxiety going up to April 15th — we feel a great deal of anxiety,” DeAngelo said.

WASHINGTON — For owners of marijuana businesses, April 15 is one big downer.

While most business owners rush to meet the federal tax deadline and cash in on a plethora of deductions, pot store owners and growers complain that they can’t write off a single expense, even if they have state licenses.

They want the law changed, saying it’s discriminatory and outdated as more states move to legalize marijuana.

“We don’t want special favors — we just want to be treated like businesspeople,” said Nick Cihlar, of Bellingham, co-owner of Subdued Excitement Inc., a company in Ferndale that grows marijuana for Washington state retailers.

The ban on deductions by the Internal Revenue Service is in place for one reason: Congress has declared every pot transaction a felony.

Getting the law changed will be difficult, with legalization opponents arguing that it would be a mistake to give the pot industry any tax breaks.

“Like any special interest group, they’re after one thing: more money ... It’s particularly audacious to demand that the government allow you to deduct expenses when you’re breaking federal law,” said Kevin Sabet, president of the anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana.

Derek Franklin, president of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention, said giving a tax break to marijuana businesses would only lower the price of the drug,

making it easier to acquire.

The idea “doesn’t make sense from a public health perspective,” and marijuana businesses should pay more to curb pot use among minors, he said.

Many pot store owners say high tax rates make it hard to enter the industry and to compete with underground drug dealers.

“If someone spends $100 in our store, $77 of it is going to some form of tax — that’s federal, state, sales, whatever,” said Tim Thompson, co-owner of a pot shop called Altitude in Prosser. “There’s a lot of people staying out of the recreational market because the black market is cheaper, and the reason is because of these taxes and lack of write-offs.”

Thompson said April 15 means “pain, a lot whole of pain.”

Washington opened its first pot stores in July after voters legalized marijuana in 2012. Three other states — Colorado, Alaska and Oregon, along with the District of Columbia — have approved the drug for recreational use, while 23 states and the District of Columbia allow its use for medical reasons.

Overall, more than twothirds of all Americans live in states that have

Bill to increase tax on oil shipped through state OK’d

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The House on Tuesday passed its version of a bill to impose new safety regulations on the increasing amount of oil that is shipped through Washington by rail, boat and pipeline.

A modified version of a bill that cleared the Senate in March passed the House with a 58-40 bipartisan vote.

The Senate version extended a barrel tax to fund oil cleanups. In that version, the barrel tax is applied to all oil that enters Washington by train but exempts oil that travels by pipelines.

It would create a requirement for the Department of Ecology to review oil spill response plans; establish a grant program for local

emergency response; and convene a panel to consider whether oil ships on the Columbia River and in Grays Harbor need tug escorts.

The version passed by the House expands the barrel tax to include pipeline oil shipments and requires railroads and other shippers to show they can pay to clean up spills.

“This bill represents an excellent compromise,” said Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle, its lead sponsor, “between protecting our natural environment, protecting the safety of our communities, protecting proprietary information and making sure that we are able to pay for the programs that we are putting forth.”

After House Republicans lost an attempt to exempt pipeline oil from the barrel

tax, members of their caucus withdrew more than half of the 20 amendments that were initially proposed.

The bill now moves back to the Senate, which could concur with the House version, make revisions and send it back to the House, or ask to send it to a conference committee.

Rep. Matt Shea, R-Spokane Valley, voted against the House bill.

He said it would get the state hauled into court, and he criticized the measure for increasing the per barrel tax on every shipment by 4 to 8 cents — more, he said, than the oil spill cleanup fund requires.

“There’s a whole lot of tax,” Shea said. “I have to ask the question: where is that going to go?”

Restrictions for drill rig protesters Associated Press SEATTLE — The Coast Guard says protesters opposed to offshore drilling in the Arctic will have to stay in safety zones when a drill rig arrives in Seattle.

Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers said a Seattle-bound drill rig and a heavy-lift vessel are expected to arrive in Port Angeles later this week,

though an exact day wasn’t known. She says when the rig and vessel enter Elliott Bay off Seattle protesters will have to stay 500 yards away from a moving vessel and 100 yards from one that is anchored.

Conservationists oppose Arctic offshore drilling and say oil companies have not demonstrated they can clean up a major spill.

Protesters have said they

plan use kayaks to meet the 400-foot Polar Pioneer and the heavy-lift vessel called the Blue Marlin that is carrying it when the vessel comes to Seattle for staging.

“We fully support people exercising their First Amendment rights, but there’s a lot of activity in Elliott Bay,” Mooers said.

Royal Dutch Shell hopes to use the rig for exploratory drilling during the summer open-water season in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast if it can obtain the necessary permits.

White House relents on Iran deal

By Deb Riechmann and Laurie Kellman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bowing to pressure from Republicans and his own party, President Barack Obama on Tuesday relented to a compromise empowering Congress to reject his emerging nuclear pact with Iran.

The rare and reluctant agreement between the president and the Republican-led Congress came after the White House maintained for weeks that congressional interference could jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Tehran. But lawmakers refused to back down from their insistence that Congress have a formal role in what could be a historic deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the compromise bill shortly after White House spokesman Josh Earnest conveyed Obama’s decision to sign it.

“Maybe they saw the handwriting on the wall,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the White House dropped its opposition.

Both houses of Congress are now likely to pass the bill, which cleared the committee 19-0. It’s expected to come before the full Senate as soon as next week.

A vote on an actual agreement to lift economic sanctions in exchange for Iranian nuclear concessions would come later, if negotiations between the Obama administration, Iran and five other nations come to fruition.

Obama retains his right to veto any attempt by Congress to scuttle such a pact if the time comes. To override a veto

Protesters sit in the audience during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting Tuesday in Washington on a bill that would give Congress a say on an emerging deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

would require a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate, meaning some Democrats would have to oppose their president to sink a deal.

The White House’s announcement came after an intensive administration effort to prevent Democrats from signing on to legislation requiring Obama to submit any pact with Iran to Congress.

International negotiators are trying to reach a deal blocking Iran’s path toward nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from economic sanctions that are crippling its economy.

“We believe it is our role to ensure that any deal with Iran makes them accountable, is transparent and is enforceable,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., chairman of Foreign Relations Committee.

Corker said Secretary of State John Kerry was lobbying against the legislation on Capitol Hill a few hours before the vote. The Republican said the White House’s sudden support was dictated by the number of senators — Republicans and Democrats — backing the measure.

Obama, whose foreign policy legacy would be burnished by a deal with Iran, has been in a standoff for months with lawmakers who said Congress should have a chance to weigh in and remain skeptical that Iran will honor an agreement.

The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China reached a preliminary agreement with Iran on April 2 to curb its nuclear program and hope to finalize a pact by June 30.

An earlier version of the bill sought to put any plan by Obama to lift sanctions on Iran on hold for up to 60 days while Congress reviewed the deal.

The compromise approved by the committee shortened the review period to 30 days. During that time, Obama would be able to lift sanctions imposed through presidential action, but would be blocked from easing sanctions levied by Congress.

Under the terms of the bill, if a nuclear deal is submitted after July 9 — a short time after the final agreement is to be reached — the review period would revert to 60 days.

The president would be required to certify to Congress every 90 days that Iran is complying with terms of the agreement.

Obama to remove Cuba from terror list

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, the White House announced Tuesday, a key step in his bid to normalize relations between the two countries.

The terror designation has been a stain on Cuba’s pride and a major stumbling block for efforts to mend ties between Washington and Havana.

In a message to Congress, Obama said the government of Cuba “has not provided any support for international terrorism” over the past six months. He also told lawmakers that Cuba “has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future.”

Cuba will officially be removed from the terror list 45 days after the president’s message was sent to Congress. Lawmakers could vote to block the move during that window, though Obama would be all-but-certain to veto such

a measure.

Tuesday’s announcement comes days after Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro met on the sidelines of a regional summit in Panamam the first formal meeting between the leaders of their countries in a half-century.

The U.S. has long since stopped actively accusing Cuba of supporting terrorism. When Obama and Castro announced a thaw in relations in December, the U.S. president expressed his willingness to

remove Cuba from that list.

However, he held off on making a final decision amid indications that the White House was reluctant to grant Cuba’s request until other thorny issues — such as restrictions on U.S. diplomats in Havana — were resolved.

Removing Cuba from the terror list could pave the way for the opening of a U.S. embassy in Havana and other steps. Administration officials said they were optimistic about the prospects of opening an

embassy, but did not provide any specific updates in timing.

Cuba was designated a state sponsor of terror in 1982 because of what the White House said was its efforts “to promote armed revolution by organizations that used terrorism.”

The terror list has been a particularly charged issue for Cuba because of what the government there sees as the U.S. history of supporting exile groups responsible for attacks on the island, including the 1976 bombing of a Cuban passenger flight from Barbados that killed 73 people.

The attack was linked to Cuban exiles with ties to U.S.backed anti-Castro groups.

Both men accused of masterminding the crime took shelter in Florida, where one, Luis Posada Carriles, lives to this day.

The communist island nation had been one of four countries on the U.S. list of nations accused of repeatedly supporting global terrorism.

The countries still on the list are Iran, Sudan and Syria.

Report: Aging brains can remain sharp

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Those lost car keys that were an annoyance in your 30s can spark major anxiety in your 60s.

Turns out it’s pretty normal: The brain ages just like the rest of your body, says a new report that urges Americans to take steps to keep sharp in their senior years.

The prestigious Institute of Medicine examined what scientists know about “cognitive aging,” changes in mental functioning as we get older.

This is a natural process — and it’s not always bad. Wisdom can indeed increase with age, and years of experience can prove invaluable, stressed Dr. Dan Blazer, an emeritus

professor of psychiatry at Duke University who chaired the IOM committee.

“The brain ages in all of us.

But there’s wide variability in the way the brain ages,” Blazer said.

Staying cognitively sharp is one of the biggest concerns of seniors, with good reason.

Tuesday’s report warns that even subtle slowdowns can affect daily life, making seniors more vulnerable to financial scams, driving problems or other difficulties in a technology-driven world.

Indeed, while some people will experience little if any cognitive change, many older adults process information more slowly, and have more difficulty multitasking than when they were younger, the

report found. What’s called working memory — the brain’s short-term storage — often declines with age but typically long-term memory remains intact even if it takes longer to recall someone’s name.

That kind of change may not be obvious until, say, someone is faced with a complex financial decision or forced to make a transaction quickly and has trouble, Blazer said.

Older adults are losing nearly $3 billion a year, directly and indirectly, to financial fraud, the report noted.

What’s the difference between normal aging and cognitive decline?

Someone experiencing memory difficulty needs to be checked by a doctor, said IOM panelist Dr. Jason Karlawish of

the University of Pennsylvania.

With Alzheimer’s, nerve cells in the brain die.

With normal cognitive aging, neurons don’t die — they just don’t work as well, he explained.

The best advice for staying sharp as you get older: Be physically active. The sooner you start the better, but it’s never too late, Blazer said.

The IOM also recommended: ■■Control high blood pressure and diabetes, and don’t smoke.

Those are key risks for heart disease, and what’s bad for your heart is bad for your brain.

■■Some medications commonly taken by seniors can fog the brain, so ask about yours.

■■Keep socially and intellectually active.

■■Get enough sleep.

ACROSS THE U.S.

U.S. to tell some if they are on no-fly list WASHINGTON — Under legal pressure, the Obama administration will begin telling some suspected terrorists if and why they are on a list of tens of thousands of people banned from flying to, from or within the United States.

The new policy allows for an American traveler who has been denied boarding a commercial airliner to petition the U.S. Transportation Security Administration once to find out whether he or she is on the no-fly list and a second time for an unclassified explanation of why he or she is on the list. In some cases, the government will not be able to provide an explanation because of national security concerns.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which has been challenging the constitutionality of the no-fly list in an ongoing federal lawsuit, said the changes don’t go far enough in giving travelers the legal due process to which they are entitled.

Airplane-computer warning The same Internet access now available on most commercial flights makes it possible for hackers to bring down a plane, a government watchdog warned Tuesday. The finding by the Government Accountability Office presents chilling new scenarios for passengers.

The report doesn’t suggest it would be easy to do, or very likely. But it points out that as airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration attempt to modernize planes and flight tracking with Internetbased technology, attackers have a new vulnerability they could exploit.

Obama threatens to veto bills that would reduce taxes President Barack Obama is threatening to veto two bills aimed at reducing certain taxes. The Republican-controlled House plans to vote this week to repeal the estate tax. But the White House says Obama would veto that bill because it would only benefit a tiny fraction of the wealthiest Americans. Obama also is threatening to veto a bill that would make permanent a tax deduction for state and local sales tax.

Ariz.: Twin toddlers drown Police in Yuma said 18-month-old twin boys drowned in a canal after their stroller rolled into the water when their mother stopped to bat away a bee.

Police said Alexis Keslar, 26, jumped into the canal Friday but couldn’t rescue the boys because the fast, deep water. Police on Tuesday said the Yuma County medical examiner determined that the deaths were accidental drownings.

Iowa: Clinton’s message Hillary Rodham Clinton began laying out her Democratic presidential campaign message in Iowa on Tuesday, casting herself as a “champion” for struggling Americans and calling for a purging of “unaccountable money” from the campaign finance system.

Clinton is facing pressure from the liberal wing of her party to make tackling economic inequality a central theme of her new candidacy. In Monticello, Iowa, she outlined four tenets of her early campaign: improving the economy, strengthening families, fixing “dysfunctional government,” and protecting national security.

AROUND THE WORLD Italy: 400 migrants drown Survivors of a capsized migrant boat off Libya have told the aid group Save the Children that an estimated 400 people are believed to have drowned. Italy’s coast guard helped rescue 144 people Monday and launched an air and sea search operation in hopes of finding others. No other survivors have been rescued; nine bodies were recovered.

Yemen: Top cleric killed Yemen’s al-Qaida branch said Tuesday that its top cleric, a Saudi-national who has had a $5 million bounty on his head, has been killed, allegedly in a drone attack. Al-Qaida said in a statement posted on Twitter that Ibrahim al-Rubaish was killed by a drone Sunday, along with other, unnamed members of the group. The statement did not specify the location of the drone attack. Yemeni officials had no immediate comment on the claim and the White House declined to comment.

Snohomish PUD names interim manager

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County Public Utility District commissioners have picked the district’s top attorney, Anne Spangler, to be the interim general manager.

Spangler will take over while the PUD searches for a permanent successor to outgoing

general manager and CEO Steve Klein, who is retiring at the end of April.

She has been the PUD’s general counsel since 2008. Before then, she was chief counsel for Tacoma Public Utilities. She has 22 years experience as an attorney and has worked for City of Tacoma Public Works Department, the Seattle City Attorney’s Office and the Washington State

Attorney General’s Office.

The commissioners voted 3-0 to offer the interim position to Spangler. PUD staff members now must draft a formal contract offer, which the commissioners plan to vote on at their April 21 meeting.

The PUD needs “someone who can maintain the day-today operations and keep the ship going” while it looks for a new

CEO, Commissioner Kathleen Vaughn said.

The PUD has started a national search for Klein’s successor.

Hopefully, they will find the right candidate by the end of August, Vaughn said. “It may be quicker.”

Life360 co-founder and president Alex Haro poses at his company headquarters in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Fending off patent trolls It’s the tech industry’s latest headache

By Anne Flaherty Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The same week that Alex Haro and Chris Hulls raised $50 million for their mobile app, Life360, the business partners got a letter. It said they had three days to pay licensing fees to a company they had never heard of because their app violated its patented technology.

Haro and Hulls traced the company, Advanced Ground Information Systems, to a coastal home in Jupiter, Florida, with a phone number that initially went to an anonymous voicemail. They couldn’t find any employees on LinkedIn. To Haro, it was “a punch in the gut,” he said.

On the other side of that letter was Malcolm “Cap” Beyer, Jr., a 76-year-old who had filed patents a decade ago on cellphone mapping. He said his attorney told him that he had a strong case against the startup, even though the general technology had been widely used for years. Beyer insists the mobile app’s $50 million in fundraising had nothing to

do with it.

In the end, a jury sided with Life360 on all counts — but not before Haro and Hulls shelled out nearly $1.5 million in legal fees.

Congress is expected to take up legislation this year that would make it tougher for people like Beyer to claim patent infringement, and put them on the hook for legal costs if they lose. The bill has become a top lobbying priority this year for the tech industry, which says it repeatedly fends off frivolous lawsuits because of poorly written software patents and laws that favor patent holders.

But lawmakers have repeatedly stumbled over the issue, which doesn’t fall neatly along party lines. America’s drugmakers, universities and trial lawyers claim that patents are the lifeblood of American invention and that the current bill goes too far.

On Tuesday, the House will pick up the issue again with a hearing of its Judiciary Committee. Among those testifying is Keven Kramer, Yahoo’s deputy legal counsel, who estimates the

company has spent $100 million fighting bogus patent lawsuits since 2007.

“That’s money we could use elsewhere on research and development, people, jobs,” he said.

“Patent trolls” generally refer to businesses that buy up patents, particularly in technical areas like computer chips, cloud computing and wireless routers, with the sole intention of filing lawsuits or demanding licensing fees from tech companies, particularly startups around the time of their public offering.

Not wanting to pay for a protracted legal fight, the defendants almost always settle even if they think they’d win. Kramer calls it a vicious cycle — the more companies settle, the more lawsuits are filed.

“It’s like a legal version of a mob protection racket,” said Noah Theran, a spokesman for the Internet Association, a coalition of web-based companies.

“The tactics are different, but the end result is a See TROLLS, Page A12

2 years after recall began, few Jeeps fixed

DETROIT — Nearly two years after agreeing to recall 1.56 million older Jeeps that could catch fire in rear-end crashes, the maker of the vehicles has repaired only a fraction of the Jeeps covered by the recall, according to documents filed with federal safety regulators.

Fiat Chrysler U.S. has fixed just 4 percent of the Grand Cherokees and 27 percent of the Libertys that were recalled.

Southwest gets new seat for 737 It’s a little wider and a brighter blue. On Tuesday, Southwest Airlines unveiled a new seat that is 0.7 inches wider than its current seats and features the “Bold Blue” color that the Dallas-based carrier debuted last fall with its new aircraft livery.

“The new aircraft seats are the widest economy seats available in the single-aisle 737 market and offer a unique design that gives our customers what they asked for: more space,” Southwest chief commercial officer Bob Jordan said. The seats will be installed on its new Boeing 737-800 aircraft starting in mid-2016 and on the new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that are scheduled to arrive in 2017.

Bloomberg News CHICAGO— As Elon Musk dreams of missions to Mars, fellow billionaires Paul Allen and Richard Branson focus on breakthrough spaceflight closer to home: cheap cargo trips to Earth orbit.

From startups to aerospace giant Boeing, entrepreneurs and for-profit companies are working to shake up a $6 billion commercial launch business whose crowded schedules may require yearslong waits to loft $200 million communications satellites.

Instead of heavy boosters fired from conventional pads, the new rocketeers envision smaller spacecraft taking off from venues as varied as the remote South Pacific and a giant plane dwarfing Howard Hughes’s famed “Spruce Goose.” Cut-rate rides will let them loft the latest miniature satellites, which are being built for as little as $10,000 and deployed in swarms to monitor crops, create Web hotspots and track weather systems.

“Any time you start shaving zeroes off the cost of doing something, people will start trying something they never tried before,” said A.J. Piplica, chief operating officer of Generation Orbit Launch Services Inc., which is designing a lightweight rocket fired from a Gulfstream business jet.

Allen and Branson’s ideas will be showcased this week in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the Space Symposium trade show. The entrepreneurs share Musk’s aim of paring spaceflight costs. But unlike the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. founder, they and their lower-profile peers are focused closer to Earth.

The Jeep repair rate of Fiat Chrysler U.S. is far below the average of 75 percent 1½ years after a recall is announced, and it could set up another confrontation between Chrysler, which makes Jeeps, and the government.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been sparring with Chrysler for more than a year over repair rates for the recall, which involves installing trailer hitches to help protect the Jeeps’ gas tanks in a rear-end crash.

Federal health advisers say AstraZeneca’s Onglyza and a related diabetes drug should carry new information about a possible association with heart failure and death.

The Food and Drug Administration’s panel of diabetes experts voiced concern about data suggesting Onglyza and Kombiglyze can increase hospitalization due to heart failure and overall mortality.

Ford sales accelerate in European market Ford’s struggling European business saw stronger sales in the first quarter as falling unemployment and cheaper energy put more money in car buyers’ pockets. Ford Motor Co. sold 335,100 vehicles in its 20 traditional European markets, a 12.5 percent increase over the same quarter a year ago. Ford of Europe said the increase is due mostly to a recovering economy.

GM drops price of the Chevrolet Spark General Motors is the latest automaker to drop the price of an electric car in the face of slow sales. GM is cutting $1,650 off the price of the electric Chevrolet Spark. The new starting price is $25,995.

Chevrolet also is offering a 39-month lease for $139 per month. The Spark EV is currently sold only in California and Oregon. GM says state and federal tax credits and additional incentives drop the starting price to $14,995.

Bird flu spreading The bird-flu strain H5N2 that has killed nearly 2 million turkeys nationwide spread to an Iowa turkey farm, authorities said Tuesday, bringing to six the number of states hit with the outbreak.

slash prices in a field still attuned to government contracts and multimillion-dollar satellites, said Marco Caceres, director of space studies for Fairfax, Virginia-based consultant Teal Group.

For years, annual satellite deployments ran in a range of 70 to 150, Caceres said.

Now, with units as petite as a credit card, the pace is quickening. The 2014 tally included 303 satellites from 2.2 pounds to 2,200 pounds with a market value of $1.9 billion, according to Teal Group data.

“That’s the trend for the future,” Caceres said. “If someone says we might be launching thousands of these satellites a year, it’s not an outrageous statement.”

The catch, Caceres said, is keeping rates to less than the $12 million U.S. companies typically pay to put payloads on Russian-made Dnepr rockets, converted Cold War-era missiles that offer the cheapest lift.

Stratolaunch, a unit of Allen’s Vulcan Inc. Stratolaunch wants to ditch ground launches altogether. It’s building the world’s biggest aircraft — the 385-foot wingspan would eclipse Hughes’s 1940s wooden flying boat — to ferry rockets to 30,000 feet, then release them to soar into orbit.

A single-use rocket with a reusable carrier plane is a twist on the approach taken

by Musk’s SpaceX, which is trying to cut launch costs with boosters that can be recycled.

Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne said in an email that the company has repaired 9 percent of the 1993-1998 Grand Cherokees and 36 percent of the 2002-2007 Libertys. The company’s numbers are higher than NHTSA’s because Chrysler uses the percentage of vehicles still registered and on the road, while the agency counts the percentage repaired of the total number manufactured, Mayne said.

But in a letter to dealers dated Monday, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles U.S. gave the lower rates.

It told dealers that they should make every effort to do the repairs on all eligible vehicles that are in for service, and that the

Beyer said in a phone interview last week that he’s a defense contractor with more than a dozen employees, not “some vile animal that’s filing lawsuits” for sport.

“We are simply just trying to enforce our patent,” he said.

Beyer’s lawyer, Mark Hannemann, denied allegations by Haro that the law firm used Beyer’s patents to try to coerce Life360 into a large, quick settlement. He said the company had sought only $3 million in damages, “which is not a large amount in a patent case.”

He also alluded to possibly appealing the case,

On April 2, 2015, a Georgia jury awarded $150 million to the family of Remington Walden, a 4-year-old boy killed when a Jeep Grand Cherokee exploded into flames after being rear-ended. The jury said Chrysler was 99 percent responsible for the crash.

completion rates “have not met expectations.” Dealers also shouldn’t sell any used Jeeps before recall repairs are done, the letter said.

Chrysler has contacted customers more than 6.2 million times by mail, e-mail and telephone asking them to bring vehicles in for repairs, Mayne said.

Dealers have 60,000 parts

on hand and more than 355,000 are in warehouses, he said.

Chrysler says the Jeeps are as safe as similar vehicles built at the time. It used that argument to convince NHTSA to let it recall only 1.56 million Jeeps in June 2013, after the agency recommended that 2.7 million be fixed.

While air launches have been conducted for more than 20 years, they’re gaining notice as the satellite industry expands. Starting in the stratosphere means a rocket is already part of the way toward orbit, freeing it from lugging the propellant just to get off the pad.

Branson’s Virgin Galactic will use a custom-built carrier plane similar to Allen’s Stratolaunch.

Virgin’s WhiteKnightTwo has four engines to the six on the Stratolaunch plane, and was originally designed to hoist a suborbital tourist craft.

“The reason we have a patent system is so inventors like Mr. Beyer can protect their inventions.”

Enter Congress. Last year, the House passed the “Innovation Act” by House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. The bill would toughen requirements when filing patent challenges in court, such as limiting the amount of documentation that can be demanded before a judge makes an initial ruling.

Still opposing the bill, however, are pharmaceutical and biotech companies and universities that say the legislation would make it too tough and expensive for them to protect their patents.

Haro said he thinks some kind of legislation is necessary, or else the U.S. economy will suffer.

IN OUR VIEW | No Child Left Behind reforms

More state and local control With a flicker of bipartisanship, work has begun on a significant reform of the nation’s main education law, No Child Left Behind, which could end a lot of the frustration among students, parents and teachers with the emphasis it puts on testing students by shifting authority and decision-making to the states and local school districts.

Members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions began work Tuesday to consider legislation drafted by Sens. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, to reform No Child Left Behind, itself a revision of a 1965 law that sought to equalize funding and access to elementary and secondary education.

In announcing the legislation last week, Murray and Alexander admitted this is a compromise and includes provisions each wouldn’t have necessarily included on their own. But such compromises

are key to bipartisan action.

The reforms, as written, would not do away with the current regimen of testing students in math and language arts each year in the third through eighth grades and again once in high school, as well as three science tests between the third and 12th grades. But the federal Department of Education would no longer mandate that the tests be used to evaluate teachers. Objections among Democrats in the Legislature and the teachers union to that requirement are what resulted in the state losing a waiver last year that cost school districts control of $40 million that instead went to tutors and for transportation of students to other school districts.

In seeking to restore the waiver this year, the Legislature has been considering Senate Bill 5748, which would put off the requirement to use test scores in teacher evaluations for a year and would

allow school districts to negotiate with local teachers unions on how much weight the scores would be given in evaluations. With Congress only starting work to reform No Child Left Behind and passage not guaranteed, the Legislature shouldn’t put off action to restore the waiver.

The proposed federal reforms would preserve accountability but would put the responsibility on the state to design its own checks to ensure students are learning and prepared for the next grade level and ultimately for college and/or careers. Testing, used primarily to measure student performance and direct the education of each child, should continue on the current schedule.

There is opposition to the reforms. The National Education Association, the parent of the Washington Education Association, still objects to the testing regimen the reforms preserve. And, the national

union says, the bill doesn’t go far enough in addressing the inequities between schools with higher rates of lowincome families and those with students from more affluent families.

If the reforms proposed

by Murray and Alexander become law, Washington state and local school districts should take seriously the responsibilities that would be transferred from the federal level to them.

The Legislature is expected to increase K-12 education funding by as much as $1.4 billion this session as it continues work to meet its obligation to fully fund education. But the state’s obligation extends beyond spending money; it must ensure that spending results in improved educational outcomes for all students. The state, local school districts, their unions, parents and the community should work together to hold each other accountable.

we wake up and start paying attention to what is really happening — think “Hunger Games.” The sad thing is that we don’t get the true news anymore; it’s fluff. And the people we need to wake up do not read the newspaper and the letters to the editor. Those of us who do know that our country’s is in a deep downward spiral that we’d better pull out of soon, very soon.

We desperately need new blood in our government and it certainly should not just be coming from the Clinton and the Bush families! You cannot convince me that in this whole, wide diverse country that is all we get to chose from!

Anybody else concerned?

The Department of Ecology does not own the water in this state; we the people do. In fact, government owns nothing, the people do, and our elected representatives tend to forget this fact.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■BOEING

Such hypocrisy to lecture business Because Washington state will always be home no matter how far I wander, I keep abreast of local news, which is why I’m appalled at The Herald’s “Holding Boeing accountable” editorial.

With friends like you, Boeing doesn’t need enemies.

Shedding crocodile tears over the lack of legislative traction for Rep. June Robinson’s bill tying Boeing tax breaks to employment numbers is misplaced. The bill is an economic and business disaster. With legislative thinking like that, Washington will become an anti-business, anti-job basket case like New Jersey, where I currently reside.

Of course Boeing unions love the bill since it would encourage the company to pad the payroll with no-show, feather-bedding jobs and kill aggressive cost control.

If you want to see who is responsible for job losses and lousy tax policy in Washington, go to Olympia and watch the Legislature, which I did daily for several years. For it to lecture Boeing on how to run its business and create jobs and economic prosperity is the height of hypocrisy.

When it comes to taxation, I start from Nobel laureate Milton Friedman’s premise: “I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it’s possible.”

The state doesn’t have a problem with anyone’s taxes being too low — it has a problem with government spending unwisely and too much.

Whether Boeing, the Joe Smith Company or Jane Taxpayer, I don’t care how, why or where — their taxes should be cut.

■■WATER

Let’s reestablish resource agency By law, the water in the state of Washington belongs to the citizens. The Department of Ecology, which is under the governor, is trying to usurp this law through the courts, and if they continue to be successful as they were in Skagit County, then everyone with a private well will be required to meter their water. I don’t believe the Department of Ecology is doing this for any ecological reason; it’s just another government bureaucracy’s attempt at squeezing blood from a turnip.

Sen. Kirk Pearson has sponsored bill 5801/2015 that if passed would reestablish the Water Resource Department that existed in 1970.

The agency would be administered by a seven-member commission elected by the people. Please voice your support for this bill by calling Sen. Pearson’s office at: 360-7867676 or email your support to kirk.pearson@leg.wa.gov.

■■LEGISLATURE

Critical services must be funded Budgets in Olympia reflect the values of our elected leaders that in turn reflect our local values. The League of Women Voters of Snohomish County applaud the House budget for going further than the governor and Senate in proposing new revenue for education and other critical state services. We are very concerned about the Senate’s proposal to raid funds designated for local infrastructure such as sewer and water projects, parks and health services.

However, we believe none of the proposed budgets go far enough in improving the fairness of our tax system and addressing revenue shortfalls in education and other essential state services. Our current state tax system is considered the least fair in the nation, with taxes falling disproportionately on lower-income residents. Further, without additional shared revenue, the Supreme Court’s review of the Legislature’s compliance with the McCleary decision requiring ample state funding for education, may result in the imposition of sanctions.

We urge Herald readers to contact their legislators with this message: Let’s play fair and fund critical services for our state!

Lynn Carpenter, President League of Women Voters of Snohomish County Edmonds

Since when is selling cake a religious act?

T

his is a tough one. My first reaction, when our neighbor-state baker refused to serve a gay couple, was that she ought to have the right to decide who takes her cake.

There’s a funambulist in me that still wonders. But the crudely hatched, later revised Indiana law has brought issues into focus, especially as we watched SID SCHWAB their governor serially refusing to answer whether it provides an excuse for discrimination against people based on sexual orientation. It did, of course, until changed, as a pizza joint subsequently showed us. (And yet they indulge the sin of gluttony!) Which raises the question: Do the revisions make the Indiana law moot? Not really. They gave it a shot. Other states are upping the ante.

When considering whether anti-discrimination laws impinge on religious freedom, it’d be nice to have agreement on what such freedom actually means. It’ll never happen. Is requiring equal treatment for LGBT citizens really an attack on religious practice? Every potential Republican presidential candidate thinks so. Does speaking out against discrimination based on sexual orientation amount to a lynch mob? Newt and Ted say yes.

A thoughtful letter here recently asked why a pro-choice sign-maker isn’t forced to make signs against abortion. To that, anyway, the answer is blessedly simple: Anti-discrimination laws are about classes of people, not opinions.

Maybe it depends on the meaning of “religious practice.” The more I think about it, the stranger I find claims of interference, because it suggests that selling a cake is a religious act with religious implications. What it is, is commerce, suggesting nothing about the religion of the actor; nor can religious devotion be deduced by transferring possession of a cake. How does selling cake amount to renunciation of your religion? Isn’t it just following the Golden Rule? If you love the sinners, bake them a cake. If you don’t love their sexual behavior, don’t participate. Religion survives, everyone’s happy.

Well, no, of course not. This is America, land of the highest percentage of evolution deniers, the lowest percentage of climate change believers, and the highest number of houses of worship per capita of any Western country. It’s a nation that rounds off to entirely Christian, nearly all of the elected variety of whom are busy writing and enacting Bible-based laws (while warning about Sharia law); yet who claim it’s they whose beliefs are under attack.

Many individual Christians and churches have no problem with same-sex marriage. In that sense, exercising one’s religious beliefs is a particular, not a universal act. If you believe homosexuality is a sin, you’re hardly alone; but neither are you in possession of religious consensus or immutable truth, especially the sort that generally justifies defiance of civil law. So unless someone is telling you not to believe what you choose to believe, not to attend the church of your choice, not to transfer your creed to your kids, when you conclude your religion requires you to break the law, you’ve made a profound decision. In this case, you will have concluded that your faith obligates treating a group of people as second-class citizens, demands discriminating against them based on their sexual orientation, compels taking upon yourself the judgment of individuals whose legal behavior affects you in no way — judgments that others might comfortably leave to God. That failure to act on that judgment negates your religion. Historically, civil disobedience has been carried out for higher purpose than the right to discriminate. The opposite, usually.

I wish we lived in a world where religion wasn’t used as an excuse for bigotry. I wish there were agreement on where the line is between religious and secular law.

I wish laws protecting minorities weren’t necessary. Maybe really small, familyowned businesses should be allowed their prejudices if they post them on a sign. Let the market decide.

The good news is that godly people around the country who share the pizzeria owners’ views of homosexuality, certain, among other misconceptions, that it’s a choice, have donated nearly a million dollars to the shop owners. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I’d have thought He’d prefer to have seen that kind of money given to food banks. But maybe that’s just me.

Spat: Tribal leaders say comments were not offensive From Page A1

public office, said Lovick’s understanding of the situation is wrong. Somers said he merely recounted a piece of Tulalip history that he’s heard over the years from former tribal Chairman Stan Jones and others.

The song has been passed down for generations among Tulalips who claim Snohomish tribal heritage. It mentions the tribe being happy because they’ve killed their enemies.

“I love the Tulalips and everything they’ve done

for me,” Somers said.

“Dragging them into it and turning this into a racial thing is disgusting and it’s not true.”

Nevertheless, Somers said he called to apologize if anyone had taken offense.

Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon, who was at Friday’s meeting, accepted the apology, but said he wasn’t bothered by what Somers said. He was sorry to see friction between Lovick and Somers.

“We value both of these men’s leadership in Snohomish County, but we do not wish to be pulled into

their issues,” Sheldon said.

“We respect their leadership and look forward to a productive relationship in the future.”

Somers accurately described what the song says and its place in Tulalip culture, said Tulalip Vice Chairman Glen Gobin, who attended the breakfast.

“We knew exactly what he was talking about, so we were not offended,” he said. “I would hate to see our culture and teachings thrown into the middle of this.”

Lovick said that doesn’t change his belief that he

Mayors are far more common than managers across the county and state.

About 80 percent of Washington’s 281 cities and towns have a mayorcouncil form of government, according to the nonprofit Municipal Research and Service Center. Snohomish County cities are on par with state numbers, with 16 of the 20 opting for a strong mayor.

Snohomish, Mill Creek, Bothell and Mountlake Terrace have a managercouncil government.

The Lynnwood City Council put a measure on

did the right thing by confronting Somers.

“There were a lot of people there and I don’t know how it affected them, but I do know how it affected me,” said Lovick, the first black person elected as Snohomish County’s sheriff and county executive.

“We have to set an example by our behavior. Our words matter. That’s the message I’m trying to get across.”

Somers and Lovick, both Democrats, have clashed on several issues for more than a year. In one key showdown, Somers led a bloc of the County

Council to roll back salary increases of 10 percent that Lovick’s administration had awarded several upper managers in 2014.

Somers also pushed Lovick to discipline his deputy executive, Mark Ericks, for making alleged threats to council members. Later, Somers and two other councilmen authorized spending $15,000 for an investigation into Ericks’ behavior. That investigation found nothing criminal about Ericks insulting the councilmen, it did trigger a criminal investigation into alleged interference

by Ericks into land-use

decisions. That investigation remains pending.

“I believe this is payback for the Mark Ericks problems we’ve had,” Somers said Tuesday.

Lovick is running for re-election this year and Somers has heard from some encouraging him to mount a challenge.

Somers, on Tuesday, said he hasn’t made up his mind whether he’ll enter the race. There’s less than a month left before the official filing period begins.

members lined the street on the hospital’s north side as part of their informational picketing.

At a late afternoon rally that day, the nurses were joined by Everett firefighters and representatives from two big Boeing

unions — the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

a job I do or don’t do, it’s about the future,” he said.

“I think it’s the right direction, but it’s really up to the voters.”

Councilman Tom FitzGerald was the lone no vote for changing the type of government. He’s not completely opposed to the idea, but he worries about the cost to the city.

Council members have an employee in mind who could take the job without the expense of recruiting and vetting candidates, but that won’t always be the case. Seeking out a manager and paying a competitive salary would be expensive, he said. The council has not yet decided on a pay range for the position.

“With the strings particularly tight on the budget, we’ve wanted to be thrifty,” FitzGerald said. “Obviously there has been some history with some mayors whose decisions haven’t been popular, but I think saying that we might have a mayor in the future who maybe isn’t qualified isn’t enough of a reason.”

Brent Kirk, the public works director, likely would become the city’s first manager if the measure passes.

There are pros and cons to either form of government, he said.

City staff are planning public meetings in the coming months where people can learn more.

Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

felt they could definitely recommend to their membership,” she said.

The two sides had been deadlocked since October, when the contract with the

nurses expired. A federal mediator joined the discussions in January. Two bargaining sessions were held last week, and the final session was held Monday.

Nurses stepped up their efforts over the past few months to win public support for their cause. In February, union members handed out leaflets on the hospital campus outlining their concerns. Last month, several hundred union

the ballot in November 2010 that would have changed the city from a mayor-council to a council-manager administration, but 56 percent of voters rejected it.

Voters in Marysville shot down a similar measure in 2002, as did Sultan voters in 2003.

When Golston ran for Granite Falls mayor in 2013, he made it clear he wanted to change the type of government.

Two of the city’s recent mayors ended their terms mired in controversy.

Haroon Saleem, who preceded Golston, was arrested after a confrontation with family at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; failed to pay rent on his

restaurant, which was shut down and demolished; and clashed frequently with two former police chiefs, one of whom he fired and another who resigned amid misconduct allegations in part related to a drug bust outside of Saleem’s restaurant involving one of Saleem’s friends and supporters.

That friend was another ex-mayor, Floyd “Butch” DeRosia. DeRosia was convicted in 2011 of selling marijuana.

The idea of limiting the position’s power was based on past experiences, Golston said, though he didn’t name any former mayors.

“Prior to my administration, there had been a number of times where the

city was put in an awkward situation because of the mayor,” Golston said. “I try to be nice about it and not point fingers.”

Most mayors have good intentions, he said. However, not all of them have the expertise to run a city.

He also feels it’s more difficult to hold a mayor accountable than a city manager. Recalling an elected official can be expensive and time consuming, with no guarantee of success. If a city manager fails to do the job or doesn’t follow ethical guidelines, the city council can fire them.

Golston urges voters to think about the city’s longterm needs.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Act on your instincts and keep close tabs on what others are doing and saying this year. It’s important not to overreact or give in to demands. Make changes based on what will bring you the highest returns. Your numbers are 7, 15, 21, 26, 32, 37, 40.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A change of location and your financial situation, is likely. Take care paperwork that could affect your future. An older relative will need help. Connect with past business associates and an opportunity will develop. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Help someone in need. Don’t fret over the little things. Overreacting will lead to setbacks.

An incident will alter the way you think or live. Don’t make physical or emotional changes. ���� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel like shaking things up a bit, but if you overdo it or you are impulsive, you will end up making a mistake you’ll regret. Stick to what you know and protect your assets. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t fear change. Use your intelligence and memory to help you maneuver through whatever you face. Your intuition is on point, and with proper application of your skills, you will advance. Don’t let personal matters interfere with your productivity. ����� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of your responsibilities so that you can get on with the things you enjoy. You’ll discover valuable information from someone you encounter in a competition. ���

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A proactive approach to whatever you do will help you set a high standard and bring about favorable lifestyle changes. An emotional situation must be handled carefully to avoid a mishap or loss. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A change will take place with your relationships. Do your best to keep the peace until you feel you have the upper hand. Reconnect with people you feel have something to offer. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Forget about what’s going on around you.

Rodney blows save, Dodgers beat M’s

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

TONIGHT’S GAME

Seattle at L.A. Dodgers, 7:10 p.m.

TV: ROOT (cable) Radio: ESPN (710 AM)

LOS ANGELES — The lesson coming out of Dodger Stadium over the last two days is the Mariners can build multi-run leads with their improved home run pop, but their vaunted rotation

can’t hold them.

Oh, and All-Star closer Fernando Rodney coughed up another lead. The Los Angeles Dodgers scored two runs in the ninth inning for a 6-5 victory at Dodger Stadium.

Howie Kendrick’s two-run single with the bases loaded lifted

the Dodgers to their second straight walk-off victory.

It was Rodney’s first blown save in 24 opportunities, but he coughed up a four-run lead Sunday in Oakland in a non-save situation before the Mariners won in extra inning.

Problems started earlier, though.

Hisashi Iwakuma displayed the same yips Tuesday night as James Paxton did Monday, although he was still positioned for a victory until the Los Angeles Dodgers stormed back in the ninth inning against Rodney.

Oxnevad pitches Shorewood past Mountlake Terrace Thunderbirds starter tosses two-hitter in 3-1 win over Hawks

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Shorewood baseball team gave its starting pitcher Ian Oxnevad a three-run lead before he ever took the mound in Tuesday’s Wesco 3A baseball game against Mountlake Terrace.

It was more than enough.

Oxnevad pitched a complete game two-hitter to lead the undefeated Thunderbirds (8-0 league, 10-0 overall) to a 3-1 win over the Hawks.

Oxnevad’s performance likely pleased the several scouts on

hand to watch him pitch, but not everyone was pleased with his performance.

“I thought today was an off day, at least for me,” he said after the game. “The walks really bother me and that’s something that I’ve been trying to cut down on this year.”

Oxnevad walked just two Mountlake Terrace batters, but for him that was two too many.

He also appeared as though he might throw his second no-hitter of the season. He held the Hawks without a hit for the first five innings before Jaden Yackley led off the bottom of the sixth inning

with a single to left field.

After Drew Serres lined out to the second baseman, Jason Shevenko singled to left to score Yackley. It was the first run that Oxnevad has allowed this season, but he quickly settled down and recorded back-to-back pop outs to end the inning and the threat.

“This year, the biggest thing to me isn’t arm stuff, because that’s there, it’s maturity,” Shorewood head coach Wyatt Tonkin said.

“He’s older and he’s going about it like a professional. Things that he can’t control, he’s realized, ‘I See T-BIRDS, Page C3

Senators assistant coach Reeds dies of cancer at 55 Associated Press OTTAWA, Ontario — Mark Reeds, an assistant coach for the playoff-bound Ottawa Senators and a former NHL player, died Tuesday. He was at 55.

Reeds had been an assistant in Ottawa since 2011 and before that coached the Owen Sound Attack to an Ontario Hockey League title.

Patrick Kane is back for Chicago. Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals are back in the playoffs after a one-year break. And the Montreal Canadiens feel as if they’ve been in this position before against Ottawa, and it’s not a good memory for the Habs.

Welcome to the opening night of the NHL playoffs.

The postseason kicks off Wednesday night with Kane set to return from a broken collarbone as the Blackhawks try to go from third in the Central Division to a third Stanley Cup championship in six seasons.

“So it’s almost like it’s a new season for me, and I’m sure a lot of guys feel that way in here,” Kane said Tuesday. “It’s definitely exciting to get back and do something that I love, do something that is enjoyable for me to do, is go out and play hockey.”

Kane missed the final 21 games of the season, and the AllStar still finished second on the team with 27 goals and 64 points.

Montreal remembers only too well how it was eliminated by Ottawa in five games in the first round in 2013, and the Canadiens dropped three of their four games against the Senators this season.

“If you’re not learning from your past experiences, you’re not going to get better,” Montreal forward Brendan Gallagher said.

A look at what’s happening as the NHL playoffs begin Wednesday night:

Islanders at Capitals Time: 4 p.m. TV: USA Network Ovechkin’s Capitals are in the playoffs for the seventh time in the past eight seasons, but they’ve never been past the second round in that span. To a man, they’re convinced things will be different this time around, in part because of

Blackhawks at Predators Time: 5:30 p.m. TV: NBCSN The Blackhawks are a popular pick to win the Stanley Cup, and they will have Kane and his mullet in postseason shape for Game 1 in a rematch of a 2010 series that Chicago won 4-2. “Yeah, I think it’s kind of like one of those things I have to do for playoffs now, not just for myself, but for the team,” Kane said of his usual postseason haircut.

“It seems like a lot of different people enjoy it.”

The Predators tried to limit the number of Chicago fans that make it into their building by selling tickets only locally for this first-round series. They also have a couple other tricks, asking fans to sing the national anthem while hoping to drown out the Blackhawks faithful.

Nashville needs a strong start to tap into the best home advantage in the Western Conference at 28-9-4.

MARK J. TERRILL / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane returns to face Nashville in the playoffs after missing the final 21 games of the regular season.

new coach Barry Trotz’s more structured and physical style. “We’re optimistic that the style we play is more suited toward the playoffs than we ever (had) in the past,” first-year general manager Brian MacLellan said.

Islanders center John Tavares finished second in the NHL in points and could see a lot of two experienced defensemen brought in by Washington for more than $65 million on the first day of free agency.

Matt Niskanen and Brooks Orpik were with the Penguins in 2013,

when they eliminated New York in Tavares’ first career playoff series.

“We never really had that huge veteran presence on ‘D,”’ Capitals defenseman John Carlson said.

Senators at Canadiens Time: 4 p.m. TV: CBUT Two of the NHL’s best home teams begin their series in Montreal. The Canadiens went 26-9-6 at home with a big thanks to Carey Price, who led the league with 44 wins, a .933 save percentage and a 1.96 goals-against average.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Notebook

Duke’s Winslow going pro Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. — Justise Winslow is entering the NBA draft after one season at Duke, coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday.

The forward said in a statement issued by the school that “my dreams and aspirations have literally come true” while winning the national title in his only season in college.

He says he believes “it is time to take the next step on my career path and play at the highest level.”

Winslow averaged 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds while helping Duke win its fifth national title.

The announcement came less than a week after the same decision from teammate Jahlil Okafor, the first freshman selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s player of the year.

And just as Okafor’s was, Winslow’s choice wasn’t much of a surprise.

“He had a sensational year, both on and off the court,” Krzyzewski said. “He was an amazing factor for our success in winning the national championship.

“From everything we have found out, Justise is projected to be a high lottery pick and we believe that to be true. This is a great time to take advantage of this opportunity. We’re behind him all the way and love him and his family.”

He arrived at Duke last summer as one of the nation’s top recruits and ended up ranking third on the team in scoring and second in rebounding.

He started every game — even as he fought through a cracked rib midway through the season — and scored in double figures in all but one since Jan. 28.

His move from the wing to power forward allowed the Blue Devils (35-4) to switch to a smaller lineup that wound up being tough to beat. Duke won 18 of its final 19 games while claiming its fifth national title since 1991.

Winslow averaged 14.0 points and 9.3 rebounds in six NCAA

Flames at Canucks Time: 7 p.m. TV: CBUT The Flames went 12-6-3 without captain Mark Giordano, who tore his left bicep on March 4. The defenseman is skating again, but Calgary’s first playoff berth in six years will depend on how it survives without him.

Canucks coach Willie Desjardins isn’t saying that Eddie Lack will be in net against the Flames, but he has played 22 of the past 23 games for Vancouver. The game that he missed was the regular-season finale, giving the 27-year-old Swede some of the best rest he’s had yet.

Vancouver also might get back forward Brad Richardson, who has played only twice since mid-January, from an injured foot.

Six days of deliberations, no verdict yet for Hernandez Associated Press

DAVID J. PHILLIP / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Duke’s Justise Winslow (12) tries to drive past Gonzaga’s Byron Wesley during an NCAA Tournament game in March.

Tournament games, including a 21-point, 10-rebound performance against Utah in a regional semifinal in his hometown, Houston.

He became the seventh player to go one-and-done at Duke, and the fifth since 2011.

That group already includes Kyrie Irving, Austin Rivers, Jabari Parker and, of course, Okafor.

Another player — guard Tyus Jones, selected the most outstanding player at the Final Four — could become the third member of that star-packed freshman class to turn pro.

The fourth member of that class — tournament breakout star Grayson Allen — has already said he will be back for his sophomore season.

Wichita State stars returning WICHITA, Kan. — The Wichita State men’s basketball team has already scored a big win for next season.

Guard Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet announced Monday they will return for their senior seasons for the Shockers. The announcements come weeks after coach Gregg Marshall turned down a chance to leave Wichita to coach at Alabama.

Baker and VanVleet both applied to be evaluated for their

NBA draft potential. They issued separate statements Monday saying they wanted to return to try and lead the Shockers to an even better season than this year, when the Shockers finished 30-5 and defeated Indiana and Kansas in the NCAA Tournament before losing to Notre Dame 81-70 in the Sweet 16.

Baker led Wichita in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game, with VanVleet second at 13.6 points per game.

Arkansas’ Portis declares FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Bobby Portis said last month he wanted to be “the greatest Razorback of alltime” when his career at Arkansas was finished.

The finale came Tuesday when the 6-foot-11 sophomore said he was declaring for the NBA after a standout season that saw him named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year.

“Unbelievable experience for me at the University of Arkansas these past two years,” Portis wrote on his Twitter page. “The love I have for this program is unconditional, but I’ve decided to forego my junior year of college to take that next step and entering into the NBA draft.”

Portis, the key cog in Arkansas’ rebirth under coach Mike Anderson, averaged 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds this season, leading the Razorbacks (27-9) to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008.

FALL RIVER, Mass. — After six days of deliberating, jurors went home Tuesday without reaching a verdict in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez, who is accused of killing the man who dated his fiancee’s sister.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the killing of Odin Lloyd in June 2013. Testimony in the case lasted for more than two months, and deliberations have stretched on for nearly 35 hours.

Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh sent jurors home late Tuesday afternoon with reminders to avoid all news on the TV, radio, newspaper or other media and to not to discuss the case with anyone.

“Please do not do any research of any kind,” she told them.

The 12 jurors must reach a unanimous verdict. In addition to the murder charge, the jurors are also deciding whether to convict Hernandez of weapon and ammunition possession charges.

They have sent several notes, none related to the murder charge. They have asked for clarification on the possession charges, for permission to take a morning smoke break and for a list of the 439 exhibits in the case.

Steelers CB Taylor retires PITTSBURGH — Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor is retiring, ending a 12-year career in which he helped lead the team to two Super Bowl victories.

The 34-year-old player announced his decision Tuesday.

Taylor became a free agent last month and said he couldn’t envision playing for another team. He finishes his career with 17 interceptions, including three in the playoffs. He is the latest member of a core group that led the team’s resurgence over the past decade to leave.

Safety Troy Polamalu retired last week. Linebacker Jason Worilds walked away at age 27 in March and Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau did not have his contract renewed in January.

Building an early lead is something Tonkin and his team have tried to do all season.

“We get out in front and it changes the dynamics of (the opponent’s) game,” Tonkin said. “They’ve got to chase us now and it frees us up a little bit to run a little bit more. ... When you put up three (runs), it’s good in the first inning. It really energizes everyone to get going.”

and another woman were stabbed. Copeland underwent surgery and a 22-year-old suspect was taken into custody.

Sefolosha declined to answer most questions from reporters after his statement. When asked about a video that surfaced online allegedly showing the police striking him in the leg with a baton, he said, “ I don’t want to go into details on anything but I think the video speaks for itself.”

Sefolosha said he will undergo surgery in the next few days and had a better timetable on his return for next season.

“I am disappointed that I will miss the playoffs. I hate this feeling that I’m letting my teammates down,” he said. “At the same time, I can’t speak too much on it. I just hate the bad look it gives on the team.”

Antic, a backup center, said he and Sefolosha were not trying to shield police or onlookers from Copeland.

“I would say that it’s a pure example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Antic said. “I mean, people know Thabo for so many years in the league. He’s probably one of the greatest guys.”

The NBA players union said it was investigating the arrests. An attorney for the players, Alex Spiro, said they did nothing wrong and that he expects the charges to be dropped.

Both were released without bail. Sefolosha was limping noticeably during his court appearance.

“The players union is concerned about the circumstances of Thabo Sefolosha and Pero Antic’s arrest,” National Basketball Players Association spokeswoman Tara Greco said.

The Hawks (60-21) have set a franchise record for wins and have the top seed in the conference playoffs for only the second time since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The loss of Sefolosha came with the Hawks already dealing with the loss of All-Star forward Paul Millsap with a sprained right shoulder.

Millsap practiced Tuesday and may be able to play in the regular-season finale today at Chicago.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks player Thabo Sefolosha said Tuesday he is in “great pain” and blamed New York City police for causing a “significant injury” that knocked him out for the season.

The backup forward sustained a fractured right lower leg and ligament damage while being arrested with teammate Pero Antic outside a Manhattan nightclub while the Hawks were in the city to face the Brooklyn Nets last week.

Sefolosha won’t return until next season, costing the top-seeded Hawks a strong perimeter defender heading into the playoffs.

“On advice of counsel, I hope you can appreciate that I cannot discuss the facts of the case. Those questions will be answered by my attorney in a court of law,” Sefolosha said after practice, reading from a statement in his first public comments since the incident.

“I will simply say that I am in great pain, have experienced a significant injury, and that the injury was caused by the police.”

He also said this “has been a difficult time for me and I truly appreciate the support I have received from everyone. I am extremely disappointed that I will not be able to join my teammates on the court during the playoffs and apologize to them for any distraction this incident has caused. I will be cheering for them every step of the way and will be diligent in my rehabilitation.”

Antic and Sefolosha were at the scene early last Wednesday when Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland was stabbed outside the nightclub. The Hawks players were charged with obstructing authorities and disorderly conduct, though Antic said they weren’t even with Copeland when the stabbing occurred.

“We don’t have nothing to do with what happened with that,” Antic said last week. “We weren’t together.

We didn’t even see the guy and whatever happened, happened way before.”

Is baseball battling a Tommy John epidemic?

By Daniel Brown San Jose Mercury News

Joe DeMers was just 10 years old when he started using the most powerful word in a young pitcher’s vocabulary — no.

No, he wouldn’t pitch on short rest. No, he wouldn’t go beyond his pitch count. No, he wouldn’t play for multiple teams.

Now a high school senior, DeMers has a fastball in the mid90s, a scholarship commitment to the University of Washington and first-round buzz in advance of the Major League Baseball draft.

Is he glad he took the prudent route?

Yes. “I’ve pretty much gone my whole career without injuries,” said DeMers, a student at College Park High in Pleasant Hill, Calif.

DeMers is among the lucky ones to emerge unscathed from the increasingly demanding world of youth baseball. The landscape is so dotted with red flags that two governing bodies, Major League Baseball and USA Baseball, teamed up to create new guidelines to help young arms stay in tact.

The creation of Pitchsmart. org comes at a time when major league elbows are wearing out at record rates, with Tommy John surgeries nearly doubling over the past three seasons.

This spring had hardly gotten underway before top pitchers Yu Darvish of the Rangers and Zack Wheeler of the Mets had to make the Tommy John decision.

“There is a real sense of urgency to understand the entire TJ surgery now,” said Stan Conte, the Dodgers’ vice president of medical services and a member of the

Joe DeMers, a pitcher from College Park High School in Martinez, California, who has accepted a scholarship from the University of Washington, is among the lucky ones to emerge unscathed from the increasingly demanding world of youth baseball.

Pitchsmart.org advisory board.

In July, the American Sports Medicine Institute went so far as to describe it as an epidemic. In a position statement that seemed aimed squarely at youth league coaches, the institute wrote: “In many cases, the injury leading to Tommy John surgery . began while they were adolescent amateurs.”

From 2000-2011, there were an average of 15.4 Tommy John surgeries per year in the majors. But over the past three years, the average has almost doubled to 28.3.

Perversely, though, the upward trend leads not to fear but acceptance in some cases. It’s as if reconstructing a damaged ulnar collateral ligament is as inevitable as rotating the tires.

Fueled by the misperception that most pitchers come back throwing harder — “an urban

myth,” one major league trainer called it — some teenage prospects are electing for Tommy John surgeries, even though they don’t need it.

The trend amazes early pioneers such as Tom Candiotti, who was the second player — and the first not named Tommy John — to reach the majors after undergoing Dr. Frank Jobe’s revolutionary procedure. Candiotti had the elbow ligament surgery in 1981, seven years after John made history, but only after Jobe made sure it was worth his while.

“He said, ‘You need to tell me: Are you a prospect?’ “ Candiotti recalled.

Jobe, who died March 6, 2014, at age 88, pioneered the operation in 1974, when he transplanted an unneeded tendon from John’s right wrist into his

left elbow. John pitched on that elbow until he was 46, winning 164 games post-surgery.

John once told the Orange County Register: “I think there should be a medical wing in the Hall of Fame, starting with him.”

Candiotti later became the first patient to square off against the man himself, starting opposite John on Aug. 25, 1983 in what was billed as “the battle of the reconstructed arms.”

Back then, they were the only two men on an unpopulated island — like Neil Armstrong talking to Buzz Aldrin about what it’s like to walk on the moon.

Now, the Tommy John community is a burgeoning metropolis, and the population is trending younger.

In 2000, Dr. James Andrews and colleague Glenn Fleisig reported performing Tommy John surgery on 17 youth and high school players, making up 18 percent of all elbow reconstructions they did that year. In 2010, the last time Andrews and Flesig collected data in a similar fashion, there were 41 surgeries on kids making up 31 percent of the procedures.

And Andrews told USA Today Sports this past summer that the stats were getting worse.

“The largest number of all those different groups, believe it or not, is high school kids,” he told the paper. “They outnumber the professionals. There was a tenfold increase in Tommy John at the high school/youth level in my practice since 2000. I’m doing way more of these procedures than I want to.”

Ross Nakaji, a specialist at Los Gatos Orthopedic Sports Therapy, can gauge the trend just by walking around his office. His

older patients have asked him, in essence: What are all these little kids doing here?

Nakaji laments that most of the injuries are preventable because they stem from overuse. He’s always taken aback by parents who push too hard too early, prompting him to recall one of his favorite quotes: “There’s really no Hall of Fame for youth coaches.”

“I always find it strange when a dad comes in and says, ‘We have this tournament this weekend, and the team really needs him.

Is he going to be ready?’ “ Nakaji said. “It’s really not a smart move to push a youth athlete the way you would a professional athlete.

But I think sometimes the mindset of the parents is to think of it that way.”

DeMers is an increasingly rare example of restraint. The 6-foot2, 215-pound right-hander is the ace for the College Park team ranked No. 1 in the nation by Baseball America.

DeMers credits his caretaking to longtime personal pitching coach, Angel Borrelli, a Pleasant Hill, Calif., kinesiologist who has little patience for conventional baseball wisdom.

Borrelli first made her way as an Olympic weightlifting coach before transferring her knowledge of body mechanics to the throwing motion. Like others interviewed for this story, she recoiled at the sloppy mechanics and heavy workload common in youth leagues.

“Kids are injuring themselves, and they don’t know it,” she said.

“The take-home message is that the body is pretty resilient, so it can put up with doing things wrong for a while. But there is a breaking point.”

All signs point to Felix Hernandez making his next scheduled start Saturday against Texas after exiting Sunday’s outing at Oakland after five innings because of tightness in his right quadriceps muscle.

One qualifier: McClendon wants to see Hernandez perform Wednesday in his usual between-starts bullpen workout.

“As we speak right now,” McClendon said, “my plan is to go with Felix (on Saturday). I still want to see his bullpen session.”

The Mariners have some flexibility regarding Hernandez because of Thursday’s open date.

James Paxton, Hisashi Iwakuma and Walker could each shift forward one day — to Saturday, Sunday and Monday — and still be pitching on normal rest.

Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker (right) starts for Seattle in tonight’s game against the Dodgers.

Excited to wear No. 42 Mariners’ Walker to start on Jackie Robinson Day

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

LOS ANGELES — Seattle Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker is keenly appreciative of the opportunity to start Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers when baseball again recognizes Jackie Robinson’s contributions.

“The fact that I get to pitch on Jackie Robinson Day,” Walker said, “and I get to wear 42 on my back is something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time — since I started playing baseball. So, it’s definitely a great honor.”

Center fielder Austin Jackson views the annual observance of Robinson’s achievement as a moment that “means something to everybody” involved in Major League Baseball.

“When you take the field,” he said, “and you’re running out and everybody is wearing the same number, I think it touches you a little bit because everybody is the same.

“No matter the skin type,

Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The Kansas City Royals have suffered their first loss of the season: Right fielder Alex Rios was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a broken bone in his left hand.

Rios was hit by a pitch Monday in the eighth inning of their game at Minnesota. X-rays revealed a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal, which is the bone on the pinky finger. The team said no timetable for his return has been set, declaring him out indefinitely, but the injury typically takes one month or so to heal.

The Royals and Twins had Tuesday off before resuming their series Wednesday, when the Royals will make a corresponding move to replace Rios on the roster.

Likely, Lorenzo Cain will move to right field and Jarrod Dyson will replace Cain in center field.

The defending American League champion Royals (7-0) are the only unbeaten team in the major leagues.

Civil Rights Game and include award presentations to former NBA star Magic Johnson, a part owner of the Dodgers, and Hall of Fame outfielder Frank Robinson.

Frank Robinson recently marked the 40th anniversary of becoming baseball’s first black manager. The Mariners’ Lloyd McClendon is the only current black manager.

“I had the pleasure of managing against Frank,” McClendon said, “and he was a tough nut to crack. I’ll never forget I set up golf for him one day in Pittsburgh.

“And he called over to the office and said, ‘This is Frank Robinson.’ I said, how you doing, Skip?’ He said, ‘Thanks for golf’ and hung up. I said, ‘Well, I’m making progress.’

“But I’ll tell you what, when I was fired in Pittsburgh, the first phone call I got was from Frank Robinson. I’ll never forget that.

He said, ‘You’ll get another opportunity. You’re good at what you do.

“And that meant a lot to me.”

Also powering up

Is Dustin Ackley turning into a power hitter?

Ackley hit his third homer of the season in Monday’s 6-5 loss to the Dodgers and has 13 dating to last July 31. Only seven players have more, and all seven have more at-bats than Ackley in that span: Adrian Gonzalez (Dodgers) 17; Jose Bautista (Blue Jays) and Chris Carter (Astros) 16; Cruz (Orioles/Mariners) and Adam LaRoche (Nationals/White Sox) 15; and Matt Kemp (Dodgers/Padres) and J.D. Martinez (Tigers) 14.

Five other players have 13 homers in that span.

Minor details

Mariners From Page C1

Royals’ Rios out indefinitely with broken hand

no matter where you’re from, no matter the race or ethnicity, it doesn’t matter. On that day, and every day really, we’re all the same. We’re all out to achieve the same goal.

“I just think it’s special that MLB recognizes that.”

This year marks the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier by appearing in a game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. In tribute, players on all clubs will wear his No. 42.

Robinson’s widow, Rachel, is scheduled to play a central role in the ceremonial first pitch.

“On behalf of our family and the Jackie Robinson Foundation,” Rachel Robinson said, “I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Major League Baseball for honoring Jack’s historic achievements and his fight for equality both on and off the ball field.”

Robinson died at age 53 in 1972 from a heart attack.

The game at Dodger Stadium will also serve as the annual

Nelson Cruz entered Tuesday with four homers in his last three games and, after hitting two Monday to the opposite field, believes he is really locked in.

“I think (Monday) was a good sign,” said Cruz, who hit another home run on Tuesday. “Going the other way, that’s something that normally when I do that, I’m seeing the ball pretty good.”

Cruz led the majors last season with 40 homers while playing for Baltimore and began Tuesday tied with Detroit’s Victor Martinez for the American League lead.

“He’s finding his groove,” McClendon said. “He’s swinging at strikes. He’s getting pitches to drive, and he’s taking care of them. I think, early on, he was probably trying to do a little too much.

“But I think he’s settled in. He’s comfortable now.”

Cruz was just 1-for-15 in his first four games but was 6-for-13 over his past three entering Tuesday night.

Justin Turner opened the LA ninth inning with a single through the right side and raced to third on Jimmy Rollins’ single to center. Carl Crawford’s grounder to third trapped Turner in a rundown for one out.

That left runners at first and second with one out. A walk to Adrian Gonzalez loaded the bases for Kendrick, who poked his single into right field.

The Mariners staked Iwakuma to leads of 3-0, 4-1 and 5-3, but he nearly gave it all away before departing after Andre Either’s leadoff homer in the sixth inning pulled the Dodgers to within 5-4.

The bullpen nearly took it from there.

Yoervis Medina provided the biggest boost by stranding two inherited runners in the seventh inning and working a scoreless eighth.

Rodney just couldn’t close it out.

On Monday, Paxton couldn’t hold leads of 4-0 and 5-3 before settling for a no-decision in a similar 6-5 walk-off loss in 10 innings.

The Mariners rolled into Dodger Stadium off the momentum of winning two

extra-inning games in Oakland and caught a break by not having to face either Clayton Kershaw or Zack Greinke.

And now, the Mariners need a victory Wednesday night to avoid getting swept.

The Mariners, as they did Monday, jumped to an early lead by muscling up. This time, it was Robinson Cano connecting for his first homer, a two-run shot to right in the first inning.

Nelson Cruz followed with a towering drive to left that had just enough carry to clear the wall for his fifth homer in four days.

It also marks the second time in Cruz’s career that he’s hit home runs in four straight games. He also did it from April 1-4, 2011 while playing for Texas.

Iwakuma entered the game with a career-long streak of 22 scoreless innings in National League park — and barely made it to 23.

The Dodgers loaded the bases in their first on singles by Crawford and Kendrick before a walk to Grandal. But Iwakuma stranded all three runners by striking out Ethier.

The streak reached 24 innings before the Dodgers broke through in the third after Jimmy Rollins’ leadoff double.

Iwakuma struck out Crawford, but Adrian Gonzalez pulled an RBI double into the right-field

corner.

Iwakuma stopped it there by striking out the next two hitters, and the Mariners got that run back immediately.

Dodgers starter David Huff hit Willie Bloomquist with a pitch with one out in the fourth.

Bloomquist moved to second on an Iwakuma sacrifice and scored on Rickie Weeks’ line single to left.

Iwakuma couldn’t get a shutdown inning even after retiring the first two batters. He walked Joc Pederson before serving up a first-pitch meatball to pinch-hitter Alex Guerrero, who rocked it into the left-field seats.

That quickly, it was 4-3.

Guerrero had a walk-off single Monday in the Dodgers’ victory.

Again, the Mariners answered, this time with a gift run from reliever Juan Nicasio, who walked the bases loaded with one out.

Bloomquist’s grounder to short scored a run and convinced manager Lloyd McClendon to allow Iwakuma to bat. Three pitches, inning over, but the Mariners led 5-3.

Iwakuma made it through the fifth but began the sixth by serving up a homer to Ethier on another very hittable slider.

And that was it. In came Carson Smith, who nursed the one-run lead to the seventh.

Outfielder Alex Jackson is off to a slow start at Lo-A Clinton with just two hits in 13 at-bats through his first four games, although he does have three RBI. Jackson, 19, was the Mariners’ firstround pick in the 2014 draft.

Looking back

It was 19 years ago Wednesday — April 15, 1996 — that the Mariners posted the biggest comeback victory in franchise history by an eight-run deficit for an 11-10 victory over the Angels at the Kingdome.

Trailing 9-1 through 31⁄2 innings, the Mariners pulled even at 10-10 on Russ Davis’ three-run double in the seventh.

Jay Buhner’s RBI single in the eighth inning provided the winning run.

It was the first meeting between the two American League West rivals since the Mariners won a 1995 tie-breaker to reach postseason for the first time in franchise history.

Short hops

The Mariners, entering Tuesday, were 3-0 in day games and 0-4 in night games. ... Ackley has a 10-game hitting streak that dates to Sept. 23 of last season. ...

The Mariners, through Monday, had scored 17 of their 25 runs via home runs.

On tap

The Mariners and Dodgers conclude their three-game series at 7:10 p.m.

Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. Righthander Taijuan Walker (0-1, 24.30) will start against Los Angeles lefty Brett Anderson (0-0, 4.50). The game can be seen on Root Sports and ESPN2. It can be heard on 710 ESPN. Bob Dutton, The News Tribune

No more separating Army and West Point.

After a rebranding process with Nike that took 18 months, the athletic teams of the United States Military Academy will be called Army West Point and don new logos, uniforms and colors, the school announced.

Academy officials said the decision to emphasize the connection between Army and West Point evolved during the process, which included talking to alumni, athletes, and administrators.

It also eliminates confusion among the general public about the name of the team at the prestigious military academy.

“To separate the Army from West Point is to take away the purpose of the United States Military Academy,” Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen, Jr., superintendent

Celebrating 10

of the school, said in a statement. “This innovative new branding respects and elevates the academy’s history and heritage and reflects the unique qualities of Army West Point Athletics, while tying the service to the academy.”

The academy will continue to use Black Knights as a nickname. The athletic department officially changed the nickname to Black Knights from the previous moniker, Cadets, in 1999. Both had been used for decades.

All 28 of the school’s sports teams also will have a new logo, the “Athena Shield,” that has similarities to Michigan State’s logo.

The logo features Athena’s helmet to embody the scholar portion of the academy, a sword to represent the battle-ready warrior, and also has a star on a shield background similar to the school’s crest

The new football uniforms have the option to go with solid black or white shirts and pants. The new logo falls in the neckline of the jersey and on the hip of the pant, an American flag is on one sleeve and Army emblems on the other, gold trim accents the black look, and black and gold trim highlights the white option.

Nike released visuals of both a gold and white helmet, both with a single black stripe down the middle and the logo and phrase West Point on the back.

Athletic director Boo Corrigan said a quote from famed West Point graduate Gen. Douglas MacArthur served as inspiration for the design: “Reach into the future, yet never neglect the past.”

From Page C1

Wilson isn’t going to walk away from football. And at age 26 and four years removed from baseball, he is in no position to actually compete for a major-league roster spot while splitting time between two sports, something an NFL team isn’t going let its franchise quarterback do anyway.

It’s one thing for a running back like Bo Jackson or defensive back like Deion Sanders to juggle two sports, but the demands put on a quarterback make it pretty much impossible to add a second job in the offseason. Right now Wilson is leading player workouts in Hawaii, something he organized in Southern California the previous two years. A player as driven as Mr. “No Time For Sleep,” a guy who uses his connections with Alaska Airlines

1256350

to fly dozens of teammates to Hawaii so they can work out before offseason practice begins, that guy isn’t going to be OK with going into an NFL season having not prepared as thoroughly as possible.

Heck, I’d love to be proven wrong. It would be absolutely fascinating to see one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks attempt something as unusual and difficult as juggling a second sport while playing the most important position in his current one. I just don’t see how it possibly makes sense.

If Wilson truly doesn’t care about money — and if that’s the case, why is he on my TV so often pitching American Family Insurance, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, Braun, Duracell, etc.? — then maybe he would consider giving up football at some point to give baseball one last chance. But unless Wilson is willing to walk away from nine-figure career earnings, and do so soon, chasing baseball makes no sense.

Let’s just say for a second Wilson decided to give baseball another try. Again, he’s 26 years old and hasn’t played organized baseball since 2011. Even more significant, he wasn’t much of a hitter back when he was playing baseball on a daily basis. In 2011, while playing for the Rockies’ Class A affiliate in Asheville, North Carolina, Wilson posted a

.228 batting average and struck out 82 times in 193 at-bats. Again, that was four years ago. In A ball.

Pointing that out isn’t meant as a shot at Wilson.

He’s one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, and by every account a great person who does wonderful things in the community. He just wasn’t much of a hitter four years ago, and there’s not a lot of evidence in the history of baseball to suggest that a four-year layoff would improve his skills at the plate. Again, he’s athletic and driven enough that he might get better if baseball were a full-time pursuit, but why in the world would someone with such a bright future in football give that all up to ride buses in the minor leagues with the hope of maybe being a major leaguer by the time he’s 29 or 30?

So why is Wilson even talking about this?

Most likely it’s because he still loves baseball and the dreamer in him believes he could succeed in that sport, and since Wilson was just at spring training, Gumbel figured it was a question worth asking. Or maybe Wilson and his people think he can gain some leverage in contract negotiations with Seattle by floating the idea of playing another sport — though Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll probably know how to find Wilson’s minor-league stats on the internet, too.

Whatever the motivation for Wilson talking about two sports, the question of whether he could succeed in professional baseball if he were to focus on just that sport makes for an interesting debate.

A debate that most likely never will be settled.

DEB LINDSEY / THE WASHINGTON POST

Tzatziki is a powerhouse of cool.

Black Lentil Salad With Tzatziki, Avocado and Pea Shoots.

MAKE THIS NOW

Cool down the Greek way with tzatziki

By Joe Yonan The Washington Post

In the Greek condiment known as tzatziki, three ingredients known for their cooling qualities — yogurt, cucumber and dill — combine forces to make for a breath of sheer freshness dolloped on anything that needs it.

From Sarah Britton’s lovely book “My New Roots” (Clarkson Potter, 2015) comes this salad of black lentils (tossed with olives, shallots and parsley), layered in a bowl with pea shoots, avocado slices and, yes, an expert version of tzatziki.

Black lentil salad with tzatziki, avocado and pea shoots For the tzatziki: 1 cup whole plain Greek-style yogurt (may substitute low-fat or nonfat) 1⁄2 English cucumber, unpeeled 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Fine sea salt For the salad: 1 cup dried black Beluga lentils Fine sea salt 1 cup green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped 1 shallot, minced 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for optional garnish Finely grated zest and juice of 1 organic lemon 1⁄2 teaspoon pure maple syrup Flesh of 2 ripe avocados, sliced, for garnish Handful of fresh pea shoots (may substitute baby spinach leaves or arugula), for garnish This hearty salad becomes light and springlike with the addition of Greece’s traditional yogurt-cucumber condiment and seasonal greens. You’ll have about twice as much tzatziki as you need for the salad, but you’ll be happy to have it for spreading on sandwiches or flatbread; dolloping on other salads, roasted vegetables or grains; or serving as a dip alongside olives.

Make ahead: The cooked lentils can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. The lentil mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. The tzatziki needs to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour and up to 5 days before serving.

For the tzatziki: Put the yogurt in a large bowl.

Grate the cucumber into a separate bowl and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add the squeezed cucumber to the yogurt, along with the oil, garlic, dill and lemon juice, and fold to combine; season lightly with salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, to allow the flavors to combine.

For the salad: Bring the lentils and 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the lentils are tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking, add a few pinches of salt. When the lentils are tender, drain off any excess water.

Put the lentils in a large bowl along with the olives, shallot, parsley, 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon zest and juice and the maple syrup. Season lightly with salt, and stir to incorporate.

To serve, put a few spoonfuls of the lentil salad on each plate. Garnish each serving with slices of avocado, some pea shoots and a generous dollop of tzatziki (using about 1 cup total). Drizzle with more oil, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.

Mukilteo School District “Future Chefs” competitors (from left) Brooklyn Doughty, Tatianna Koford and Hannah Goerg listen to instructions before beginning the cooking competition at Sno-Isle Tech Skills Center in Everett on March 27.

MUKILTEO — It looked like the set of a TV cooking show.

Not “MasterChef Junior,” of course, because celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay wasn’t around.

Still, kids in chef hats and white jackets bustled about, running mixers, slicing vegetables, juicing fruit and checking the progress of cookies in the big commercial ovens.

Students from each of Mukilteo’s 11 elementary schools gathered March 27 at Sno-Isle Tech Skills Center at Paine Field for a friendly competition. With help from school cooks and Sno-Isle high school students, the 22 young chefs honed their culinary skills while preparing their favorite afterschool snack foods.

Nearly 300 fifth-, fourth- and third-grade students submitted recipes for a chance to participate in the district’s seventh annual “Future Chefs: Healthy Snacks” contest, said Brad Wall, head of nutrition services for Mukilteo schools.

Two students from each school were selected for the district-wide final contest.

They were Tatianna Koford, Pierson Chiu, Zakiya Nunez, Sydny Brouhard, Nina Aoude, Star Little, Emily Nelwan, Eva Fall, Hannah Goerg, Brooklyn Doughty, Isaac Aney, Miguel Hernandez, Kyle Simms, Maya Martinez, Tay’von Valentine, Jaelyn Floyd, Alex Parker, Keilly Marin, Lillian Eidbo, Janalyn Munoz, Ryan Mass and

Jermaine Wright.

At Sno-Isle Tech, the students presented their food before judges and prepared enough snacks to feed dozens of contestants, parents, teachers and school staff. The cook-off day required weeks of organization, publication of a cookbook of the snack recipes, grocery shopping and kitchen set up, said Mo Wolf, kitchen manager for the school district.

Zakiya, a fourth grader at Horizon Elementary, made a blueberry cream cheese pie with the help of Grace Fujinaka, a Sno-Isle senior. Zakiya spread her berries on a graham cracker crust and deftly operated the big mixer. Grace helped her fold the cream cheese and pudding mix together before laying the mixture on top of the berries.

“Fresh blueberries are healthy and that’s why I chose this recipe,” said Zakiya, 10. “I want to be a chef when I grow up.”

Tay’von, an Odyssey third grader, made muffin-tin lasagna cups.

“I had never heard of this before,” Tay’von said. “So I thought people might like to try something different.”

Tay’von worked in the kitchen, layering wonton wrappers, spaghetti sauce, cooked ground beef, ricotta and mozzarella cheese, while his mother, Selina Valentine waited in the hallway.

I found myself on that path recently, thanks to my friend Alicia, who was particularly taken with my rendition of a southwest-flavored salad. It was my seasoned ground turkey mixture that elevated the dish, and she wanted the recipe. I told her I was happy to share. The problem? It was a free-wheeling sort of creation; nothing was in writing.

So I decided it was time to produce a written recipe. This meant spending some time in the kitchen preparing the dish yet again, but this time writing everything down as I went. Not See RECIPE, Page D2

NOURISH | Ellie Krieger

To shake up the vegetable routine, use your noodle M any vegetables are easily noodled: Spaghetti squash, once cooked, inherently forms tender, thin strands you can twirl onto your dinner fork; zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise, becomes long, wide ribbons; and, with the help of one of those “as seen on TV” spiral slicers, just about any root vegetable from beets to turnips can take the shape of pasta.

It’s a fun and practical way to shake up the usual vegetable routine. Raw vegetable noodles cook in minutes, thanks to their increased surface area.

You can prep them a day in advance, so they make for an easy weeknight dish.

DEB LINDSEY / WASHINGTON POST

To shake up the vegetable routine, try asparagus “pasta” With garlicky bread crumbs.

You can’t go wrong simply sauteing them in a skillet

with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add a handful of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for an extra layer of aroma and flavor.

Or take the pasta concept more literally and toss cooked vegetable ribbons with tomato sauce or pesto.

You also can combine generous amounts of vegetable “pasta” with regular noodles for a heaping main course that’s more healthfully balanced than the typical pasta dinner.

Asparagus is easily “pasta-fied” with a standard vegetable peeler.

Here, inspired by of one of my most-craved spaghetti dishes, I toss the quickly cooked ribbons with garlicky toasted bread crumbs

for a vegetable side dish that has decadent richness and unforgettable appeal.

Asparagus ‘pasta’ with garlicky bread crumbs

1 piece whole-grain bread (1 1/2 ounces) 2 medium cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 ⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 2 bunches thick asparagus spears (about 1 1/2 pounds total) 1 ⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley Make ahead: The asparagus may be prepped (before cooking)

up to 1 day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tear the bread (including the crust) into pieces, letting them fall into a food processor. Pulse to form fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium skillet, along with the garlic and 1⁄2 tablespoon of the oil.

Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the crumbs are browned and crisped a bit. Season with half of the salt; remove from the heat.

Cut off and reserve the asparagus tips. Hold an asparagus stem by its woody end; resting the stalk on top of a cutting board, use a vegetable peeler to peel the tender part of the stalk into long, thin strips. Discard the woody stem. Repeat with each asparagus stalk.

Heat the remaining 11⁄2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once

the oil shimmers, add the shaved asparagus and the tips; cook, stirring gently, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and the remaining salt and the pepper.

Sprinkle with the crisped bread crumbs and the parsley; toss, and serve right away.

Makes 4 servings.

The contest produced five winners who each received a new mountain bike and helmet, donated by the Sodexo, the company that runs food service for the Mukilteo School District, and the Mukilteo firefighters.

The judges’ top prize went to Hannah from Fairmount Elementary School for her avocado hummus.

The “Most Fun Kid Food” award went to Sydny of Endeavor Elementary for her caramel popcorn. The kid-friendly preparation award was given to Isaac of Challenger Elementary for

his “moon balls.” The best table presentation went to Miguel of Odyssey Elementary for his colorful “Jicama Tostada with Pinata Festival” and the most health-conscious recipe award was given to Lillian of Columbia Elementary for her strawberry-mango smoothie.

Barton Seaver is an explorer, but he doesn’t spend his time climbing mountains. As a chef, he has traveled the world as a food explorer.

Seaver joined forces with National Geographic to share his knowledge and last fall published “National Geographic Kids Cookbook: A YearRound Fun Food Adventure.”

The book is focused on cooking and eating based on the calendar.

Each month brings recipes that reflect celebrations, activities and seasonal foods. KidsPost tried Seaver’s Italian Asparagus Salad.

Asparagus, which is readily available now, is a welcome alternative to the frozen veggies you may have been eating over the winter. If you have never tasted it, consider yourself a food explorer and give the striking stalks — and this easy recipe — a try.

an unpleasant task. Plus, during the less demanding phases of the process my mind was able to wander.

My recent southwest seasoned ground turkey effort came together quickly. I knew all the ingredients required, just not actual amounts. So this time I wrote everything down as I went. And most importantly, when I was fine-tuning the flavors in the finished dish, I didn’t forget to readjust the original measurements as well.

Italian asparagus salad Kosher salt 1 pound fresh, thin asparagus Juice from 1 lemon 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon whole-grain or Dijonstyle mustard 1 to 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler 1 ⁄2 medium red onion, thinly sliced, for garnish Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a generous pinch of salt.

Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to trim and discard any tough asparagus ends.

Carefully put the asparagus in the boiling water, or place the asparagus in a strainer designed to hold asparagus or pasta and lower that into the water; cook for about 3 minutes, or just until the vegetable is bright green and tender but not soft. Drain and transfer the asparagus to a platter.

Southwest seasoned ground turkey mix 11⁄4 pounds ground turkey, ground beef or any ground meat combination 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1⁄2 yellow onion, chopped 1/4 cup Mezzetta brand “Deli-Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers,” chopped Salsa mixture: 1⁄2 cup commercially prepared salsa 1⁄2 cup water 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon Ponzu sauce (I use Kikkoman brand; sold on condiment aisle near the soy sauce) 1 tablespoon juice from the jar of Mezzetta brand

— The Washington Post

“Deli-Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers” 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon Green Pepper Sauce (Tabasco brand) Here’s the recipe I finally established in writing to please my friend, Alicia Teel. I prefer to double the recipe so that most of it can be tucked away in the freezer. Indeed, after a particularly hectic day, it’s a good feeling knowing that I can reach into my freezer and scoop out a bit of the seasoned mixture, which becomes the base for any number of flourtortilla roll-up creations, salads, or even pasta rice combos.

The unique quality of this recipe is centered around the fact that I prepare a highly seasoned liquid in one container that is poured over the skillet of browned ground meat and onions. More cooking ensues as the liquid concentrates and merges with the meat. The resulting ground meat is now highly seasoned from the inside out.

In a large non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the ground turkey in the olive oil until the meat is lightly browned. Push the meat to one side of the skillet and add the onions.

Thanks Crawford!

Fabulous. Had just to moved to the area and Dr. Crawford was recommended for my husband who had a bad toothache. We are grateful for them seeing a new patient immediately and the staff are all wonderful. As much as I usually dread dentists, I have enjoyed all my visits to their office!

Whisk together the lemon juice, oil, mustard and a pinch of salt in a liquid measuring cup, until well blended, to form a vinaigrette.

Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus and toss gently to coat. Top with the shavings of cheese (to taste) and the slices of onion.

Serve at room temperature.

Note: Some kids (and grown-ups) don’t like the bite of raw onion. To lessen the bite of raw onion, soak the slices in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry before adding to the salad.

Saute until they are golden brown. Spread the ground out in the pan, mingling the meat with the onions and continue to saute until the meat and onions are well-browned. This will take several minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl or 2-cup measuring container, combine the salsa, water, cumin, Ponzu sauce, juice from the jar of Jalapeno peppers, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper sauce.

When the meat mixture is richly browned, pour the salsa mixture over it and stir well with a spatula to evenly coat the meat with the sauce. Continue cooking and stirring with the spatula as the sauce reduces and thickens.

Adjust the heat slightly down so you don’t scorch the contents of the skillet. Continue cooking until the liquid is completely gone and the meat has a slight crumbly character. Remove from heat.

If not using immediately, spoon the seasoned meat into a container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Or spoon the mixture into a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. The mixture will never freeze into a solid mass, so you can scoop serving portions from it while still frozen.

How cool is that?

GRANDPARENTING

Kids won’t eat her healthy food

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: You could do all of us grandparents a world of good if you can solve this one. How do I get my grandchildren to eat healthy meals?

You know how hard it is. You slave over the stove making them a good wholesome dinner and then they just pick at their food. Happens all the time. My grandkids gorge on junk food and goodness knows what else and aren’t hungry or don’t like what I prepare. What are you going to do? You cannot sit there all day and police what they put in their mouths. My uncle always said that an army marches on its stomach. I’m telling you that children march on theirs too. Teenage minds and bodies need good fuel to grow. What’s the best way to tackle this problem?

Tolly, Marshall, Michigan Dear Tolly: Good nutrition during the critical growing years is an issue that should concern all grandparents. After years of dire news reports on this topic, we won’t waste much time educating readers about the generally abysmal diet of America’s

youth and their preference for sugar laden processed foods. Obesity — and its host of attendant maladies — and failing to develop to one’s fuller physical and mental potential are two by-products of a fast food diet that neglects nutrient rich fruit and vegetables.

Most advice to get youngsters to eat better is aimed at their parents.

That might work for younger children, but adolescents and teenagers are too concerned with their peer group and spend too much time outside the home to be strongly influenced by what their parents eat.

The trick to getting grandchildren to buy into a healthy diet is to engage them in the selection and preparation of fresh food, training their taste buds to enjoy foods that are not drowning in greasy, sweet calories. Empowering grandchildren to take a greater role in the kitchen, perhaps with a grandparent or parent standing by to provide guidance, can be a game changer that puts grandchildren on the road to becoming the masters of their own good health and nutrition.

Sexually active women must be vigilant about protection Dear Abby: I thought I had met the man of my dreams. I knew from the beginning he had a girlfriend in his hometown, but he assured me he was breaking it off, so I didn’t think twice about starting a relationship.

Well, she moved here and found out about us.

He swore to me that there was no one else besides her and me. We have now discovered a third girl — his roommate — with whom he was involved.

Abby, he used no protection with any of us.

He swore to us all that he always used it and was regularly tested for STDs. Another lie.

Now his former girlfriend thinks she may have picked up an STD from him, and we all have to be tested to ensure we don’t have one.

I now know you can’t trust anything you’re being told unless there’s proof. Go with the guy to get tested and demand to be there for the results.

If you suspect (or know) he’s seeing someone else, always use protection and insist he be tested regularly.

This has left a lasting impression, and now we wonder whether we will be able to trust another man again. — Awaiting The Results Dear Awaiting: Your “boyfriend” was dishonest and irresponsible. You can’t be blamed for feeling bitter. Now might be a good time to re-evaluate whether premarital sex is worth the headache and the heartache.

That said, I can’t help but wonder how you intended to avoid infection if you and the man of your dreams were having unprotected sex.

DEAR ABBY experience as a wakeup call, and schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss all of the consequences that may result from unprotected sex in the 21st century.

Dear Abby: I recently bought a new cellphone and was assigned a number by the company that sold it to me. I have been receiving calls and messages for the person who had the number before it was given to me. While the number of the person calling or texting comes up, I do not know the numbers of all my friends and associates, so I have been accepting the calls or texts.

At first, I would let the caller or texter know that the person he/she was trying to reach no longer had this number.

However, it takes up my expensive minutes to make those replies. Am I under any obligation to contact these folks, or can I just ignore their contacts? — Polite In Pennsylvania Dear Polite: No rule of etiquette “compels” you to respond to these callers and texters, so consider yourself off the hook.

Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. (The group’s first chairman was Marion Barry.)

In 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army held up a branch of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco; a member of the group was SLA kidnap victim Patricia Hearst, who by this time was going by the name “Tania” (Hearst later said she’d been forced to participate).

In 1985, South Africa said it would repeal laws prohibiting sex and marriage between whites and non-whites.

In 1986, the United States launched an air raid against Libya in response to the bombing of a discotheque in Berlin on April 5; Libya said 37 people, mostly civilians, were killed.

In 1989, 96 people died in a crush of soccer fans at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England. Students in Beijing launched a series of pro-democracy protests; the demonstrations culminated in a government crackdown at Tiananmen Square.

NEW YORK — The only goal The Rolling Stones have left in their career is to rock on till the wheels fall off.

“The only goal left is to see how far we can run the string,” Keith Richards, 71, said, laughing, in an interview Wednesday. “The band feels great about playing. I mean, you couldn’t get these guys to do anything if they didn’t wanna. It’s what we do, so we’re just hoping for a great summer.”

The Stones — who’ve played together for more than 50 years — will kick off a 15-city stadium tour of North America on May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Mick Jagger, in a separate interview, said the advice he would give other bands who want to play as long as the Stones is to make every show count.

“Every night the audience is like a challenge for me. Every time you go out there it’s different. You think it’s the same show, but it’s a different show, different place, different audience,” said Jagger, 71. “For a younger band, you got to bring a sense of uniqueness to every show you do and you got to sort of try somehow to forgot

— even though it appears to everyone it’s the same show — but to yourself it’s always got something different and special about it.”

Life on the road isn’t for everyone, Jagger said: “I’m not sure if all young bands want to stay on the road as long as we have,” he said with a laugh. “Maybe they’ll want to do something else.”

The band, which includes Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, played arenas instead of stadiums for their “50 & Counting” tour in 2012 and 2013. On the Zip Code tour, they will visit AT&T Stadium in Dallas; the LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee; and Comerica Park in Detroit, among other cities.

“Stadiums, I love them, especially when the weather’s on our side, when God joins the band,” Richards said. “It’s really nice to play indoors and auditoriums with a controlled

environment, but at the same time, it’s a different feeling playing outside, especially stadiums ... It’s a looser feeling.

Pre-sale tickets went on sale Wednesday and general tickets start Monday.

The tour also celebrates the June 9 re-release of the Stones’ seminal 1971 album, “Sticky Fingers.” It features songs like “Brown Sugar,” ‘’Wild Horses” and “Moonlight Mile.”

“Mick and I have been talking, ‘Maybe we just sort of go up there and play the whole album,”’ Richards recalled. “But I don’t know if it will come to that.”

“There are a lot of ballads on the album so maybe I’ll mix up those,” Jagger said. “Most of the fast tunes on the album we do quite often, so some of the slow ones we don’t.”

They will start rehearsals in early May, Jagger said.

“Physically there’s quite a lot of workouts and

getting your fitness level a bit higher. But I have to do, you know, dance work outs and prep for my dance and prep for the vocals,” Jagger said. “You’re pushing yourself to a limit, but a containable limit because you don’t want to screw up and you don’t want to get injured, so you try to get as fit as possible.”

Jagger said he listens to a number of genres when dancing, from reggae to blues to rock and electronic dance acts like David Guetta and Calvin Harris.

“Yeah, I listen to that stuff,” he said of the international DJs. “And trap (music) and stuff. I put everything on. When I do the dance workouts, I just do a mixture of everything.”

Richards said he’s completed a solo album that is in “bed and ready to wake up I think later on this year.” Jagger has also worked on new music.

“I been writing this week ... I’ve written a lot of new songs lately, but we haven’t recorded them yet,” he said, adding that the songs are about “just life in general, different subjects, personal things, social things.”

The last stop on the Stones’ Zip Code tour is July 15 at the Festival d’ete de Quebec in Quebec City, Canada. But Richards said more dates may follow.

“I hear South America is on the cards somewhere around October, November, so we ain’t stopping yet,” he said.

Tips

for RV Trips with Pets

Your pet’s safety is the first priority. Start by making sure your four-legged friends are secured when traveling down the highway.

“Whether you decide to use a crate or carrier that has been fastened in place, or a safety harness that connects to the seat belts in your sofa or dinette, buckling your pet up in your RV is just as important as clicking your own seatbelt,” advised Burkert.

Perfect RV companions

By JULIANNE G. CRANE

U

AutoWriters Associates

nlike vacation air travelers, Recreation Vehicle owners are not limited to two pieces of luggage.

They can conveniently take along just about anything they want on their trips — including their pets.

According to recreation vehicle industry numbers, more than half of RV owners — about 4.8 million — travel with at least one pet companion and, in fact, many take to the highway with two or more pet partners.

Fulltime RVers Amy and Rob Burkert are doing just that. For almost four years the Burkerts have crisscrossed North America, covering more than 50,000 miles in their 24-foot Winnebago View Class C motorhome. The two 40-somethng CPAs sold their Philadelphia house in 2009 to travel the country with Ty, their 9-year-old Shar-pei, and Buster, a 6-year-old German Shepherd.

Technology has allowed them to explore America’s backroads while continuing their consulting business and running the award-winning pet travel website Go Pet Friendly (GoPetFriendly.com). The site is an

encyclopedia of travel advice and pet-friendly destination guides.

“It makes planning a trip with furry loved ones easy,” said Amy Burkert, “and vacationing with your entire `pack’ exciting and fun.”

This season is no exception. “This is a fantastic time of the year,” said Burkert, “and with a bit of planning, taking your pets along for the family gatherings makes the experience even more enjoyable.”

Dog Duvet is a fine item for the traveling pet lover. Slip the lightweight washable Kurgo dog duvet cover over any old dog bed to make it look new again.

The hustle and bustle of travel can be exhausting for everyone. “Be sure your pets have a peaceful place where they can go to relax and get away from it all,” said Burkert.

Feed and exercise your pets on their normal schedule. This alone can help reduce their anxiety. “Set an alarm to remind you of the moment your pets are expecting you to feed them,” said Burkert. “Use their daily walks as an opportunity to get a little oneon-one time.”

3

Vacation travels revolve around eating, drinking and merry making. “Spoiling our pets with food is a big temptation. A lot of the traditional fare, however, such as chocolate, raisins, macadamia nuts, onions, grapes and alcohol, can be toxic for your dog. Simply eating foods he is not used to can lead to gastrointestinal distress,” said Burkert.

4

Because you may be with people who are not used to having a pet around, it’s important to take a few precautions. “Dogs and cats can slip out an open door in a flash, so be sure that your pets’ ID tags are up-to-date with a phone number where you can be reached while you’re traveling,” said Burkert.

“Also, in the event of an illness or injury, it’s helpful to have your pets’ medical records with you. Rather than lugging around a large file, take a paper copy of their current vaccination records and scan the rest of the information to Sanchez, career-change dog from an easy-to-pack Guide Dogs for the Blind, relaxes listening to Calm Dog, the USB drive.” portable musical clinically-tested

American dream trip: RVing

By JULIANNE G. CRANE AutoWriters Associates

E

scaping in a recreation vehicle for a few days to the magnificent outdoors remains an American dream.

In a recent survey by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (rvia.org), RV users said enjoying outdoor activities, spending quality time with family, and taking more mini-vacations, top the list for using their RVs. Many families are opting for frequent getaways closer to home for two primary reasons: higher fuel costs and busy schedules.

While the shorter trips are popular, especially with families who have children at home, for many empty nesters, the longer fantasy destinations sit near the top of their bucket list.

People are seeking smaller, lightweight recreation vehicles that get more miles to the gallon. The RV industry has responded to consumer demands with new designs

and is currently into its sixth year of recovery from its low point during 2008 recession. Leading the pack are travel trailers that can be towed by light-duty trucks and SUVs and more fuel-efficient motorhome.

As for prices, new conventional travel trailers typically run $8,000 to $95,000. Class C motorhomes, the smaller ones with over-cab sleeping, usually run $43,000 to $200,000 new. Larger, bus-like Class A motorhomes start at around $60,000 and go up from there.

“As technology has improved and become more available,” said Kevin Broom, RVIA director of media relations, “RV makers have been offering innovative new products that are lighter weight, more aerodynamic, and more fuel efficient — while still offering a mix of amenities that appeal to the many different types of RV buyers.”

“Consumer confidence is growing, credit is available, and RVs are visible, popular and even cool,” said RVIA President Richard Coon.

Considered the “mega-malls” of the RV world, RV shows are where you can find bumper-tobumper displays of gas and diesel motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheel trailers, folding campers and truck campers.

“Multiple dealers gather to bring hundreds of the latest models and offer deals,” according to Go RVing (gorving.com). “This provides a great opportunity for prospective buyers to wander between different models, check out various floor plans, ask questions, meet other RVers, and find the RV that best suits their needs.”

To maximize your time, do a little homework before walking through the front doors of an RV show. Think about how you plan to use your RV. Do you want to drive or tow a rig? Where will it be stored? What is your budget?

How do you plan to finance it?

And, if you are a serious potential buyer, consider arranging financing ahead of time.

AutoWriters Associates

ravel and outdoor enthusiasts with special physical needs are recapturing their mobility and enjoying time on the road in Recreation Vehicles,” reports the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. “RVs are the ideal way for everyone to experience the open road in convenience, comfort and style.”

It’s smart business for RV manufacturers to build in factory modifications before delivery. Two companies that offer such adaptations are Winnebago Industries (winnebagoind.com) and Foretravel Motorcoach (foretravel.com).

“Making motorhomes more accessible and comfortable for an individual or a family to use and enjoy is a big part of why we offer this service,” said Sonya Kobriger, sales representative with Winnebago Industries. “We try to involve the customer in many of the desired modification decisions whenever possible so that the finished product really is `their’ motorhome.”

“Foretravel has a special ability to adapt our motor coaches because

we build our own chassis in-house, which allows for various modifications,” said Eddie Hill of Foretravel’s marketing department. In addition to the wheelchair lift, another available adaptation is “a ceiling rail system that will allow the occupant to be hoisted and travel safely throughout the coach.” Other modifications include widening entrances and interior pathways, lowering kitchen counters and cabinets, and designing roll-in showers.

Lori and Mike Sanders are retirees who have been full-time RVing for five years. Mike Sanders was born with Spina Bifada and has a shortened, right leg. “He got around pretty well for 60 years before developing severe osteoarthritis, which put him on crutches,” said Lori Sanders.

They purchased a Polaris RZR off-road ATV and acquired a 2005 33-foot Desert Fox 28KS toy hauler in order to take their four-wheeler with them. A toy-haul trailer features a rear end that drops down, forming a ramp for access into a garage area where motorized toys can be safely stored. The full-time RVers are currently having a 37-foot gooseneck fifth-wheel toy-hauler custom-made.

“The living quarters are about the same on each rig,” said Lori Sanders, “but the new one has better handicap features.”

Best of all, “we will be able to take all our toys with us including a canoe, the RZR, and two Segways,” said Lori Sanders. The Segway (segway.com) with its off-road wheels and tires, and an aftermarket seat, “makes it possible for Mike to go just about anywhere, many more places than a wheelchair could go.”

The vast majority of the campgrounds are not handicap-friendly.

Mark Douglass of Pagosa Springs, Colo., started the nonprofit RVing Accessibility Group (rvingaccessibility.org) because of the limited number of accessible campgrounds.

Douglass was born with severe mobility impairments and after numerous surgeries, is currently able to walk. “I want to educate the RV and campground industries on the most current standards for ADA compliance regarding accommodations for people with disabilities, regardless of age, injury or illness. I am passionate about helping others find places they can visit without sacrificing one’s dignity or independence.”

Various wheelchair systems and lifts are available with Winnebago’s accessible motor coaches.

TIPS: Saving on your family’s RV vacation

Y

ou are already saving money by vacationing via your RV. A family of four might need two hotel rooms, not to mention airline tickets, car rentals, restaurant costs and other charges incurred with long-distance travel.

Here are some tips to help you save even more on your RV vacation: n Camp closer to home: You can enjoy your RV vacation whether traveling 5 miles away from home or 500 miles.

n Travel less frequently and stay longer: Fuel is the fourth-largest expense for RVers. It follows lodging, food, RV payment and maintenance. It makes sense to not drive so much, find a destination and relax. The children in your family will appreciate getting there and starting the fun! n Travel lighter: Top off fresh-water tanks at the campground. The campground is also the place to stock up on

firewood and other materials that can be purchased after parking your RV. Before heading out, dump the holding tanks.

n Skip the tourist traps: Attraction admissions can be costly. It’s better to take advantage of what campgrounds now offer on site. Pools, water slides, mini golf and go-karts, live entertainment and other scheduled events make for cheap family outings.

n RVing cheaper than other travel: Airfares and hotel rates rise when fuel costs increase and fuel surcharges are added.

You can avoid those costs in an RV. Fuel prices would need to more than triple from their current level to make RVing more expensive for a family of four than other forms of travel.

n Skip restaurants: This is one of the best ways to save money when RVing. You can shop for groceries and cook all your favorite foods for a fraction of the cost. For even more savings, cook hotdogs rather than steaks.

n Fresh air: Turn off the AC and open the windows. n Maintain your RV: Be sure to tune up your RV, inflate tires and keep up with maintenance to maximize fuel efficiency.

Spending time with your family in the RV is priceless and will create traditions and memories to last a lifetime. They will have many tall tales to tell around the campfire and lots of remember-when discussions. Your children will most assuredly pass on the pleasures of RVing to their own families.
