“We have been talking with him and we still have not resolved the violation yet,” said Patricia Graesser, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Corps in Seattle.

The situation stems from a mistake that D’Angelo brought to the state’s attention in August.

Now he wonders how he can trust officials to make things right, after they’ve nearly killed off his pond and put him in the cross hairs of federal regulators.

EVERETT — A Darringtonarea man remained in intensive care at a Seattle hospital Monday, three days after being pinned between a Snohomish County sheriff’s patrol car and a parked truck.

Thomas Gillette, 59, was listed in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center after suffering crushing leg injuries.

Four other people with less severe injuries were taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.

Gillette was part of a contract crew working on improvements to a house in the 2300 block of Rockefeller Avenue.

Family members have received dozens of messages of support through social media.

The Washington State Patrol is leading the accident investigation. That could take several months, trooper Mark Francis said Monday. Three of the vehicles involved in the accident were taken an impound lot for examination.

A State Patrol memo said deputy John Sardo, 54, was southbound on Rockefeller with two passengers in his patrol car when it was struck by a compact SUV that was being driven westbound on 23rd Street.

Highway 522 widening threatens pond in Monroe Herald Writer

MONROE — Joe D’Angelo asks what you would have done in his place, watching a fish-bearing pond turn into a dark, stagnant pool ringed with orange slime.

That’s the scenario that confronted the homeowner in early March at his property on Tester Road, south of Monroe.

He first tried to alert the state Department of Transportation to an unfolding emergency, that the Highway 522 widening project running by his house was diverting fresh water from his pond.

Hearing nothing from officialdom, D’Angelo said he approached the state’s contractor and ventured to the other side of the highway with a worker. They found a culvert blocked by five sandbags, which they removed to get water flowing again through a pipe under the highway, to his property.

“The whole pond was brown, it was mocha,” D’Angelo said.

“Within three hours, it was clear.

That’s how well this stream circulates the pond.”

Salmon habitat crisis averted — or so it seemed.

If D’Angelo expected thanks, he was in for disappointment.

removal, the state notified the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The federal agency had issued the state a permit for the widening project, allowing it to work in streams and wetlands that flow into the Snohomish River, a short distance away. To prevent harm to fish populations, no work is allowed in the water from the beginning of October to the end of June.

“They’re trying to make me the guilty party when how many mistakes have they made?” he asked.

He said a simple knock on his door could have saved time and money.

The 52-year-old medical equipment machinist bought his house in 2005.

The pond was the main attraction for the avid fisherman, who also has worked as a licensed fishing guide.

The water takes up almost half of his 2.5-acre property. It supports coho salmon. Juvenile fish shelter there as they grow.

“They feed under these lily pads all summer long,” he said. “I can watch that cycle from my porch.”

There also are bass, catfish and bluegill, he said, plus beavers, a family of muskrats and an otter. Two types of ducks nest there.

The state has spent years preparing to widen four miles of Highway 522 between the Snohomish River and the U.S. 2 interchange.

Environmental studies began in the 1990s.

An updated assessment came out in 2008, four years before major construction commenced.

Work was mostly finished by the end of 2014. To date, the highway project has cost $118.7 million. In addition

have been prevented.

The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for an examination of the deadly toll of domestic abuse, while The New York Times collected three awards and the Los Angeles Times two.

to adding extra lanes of highway, the money has paid for design costs, a flyover interchange, reconfiguring wetlands and more.

D’Angelo’s property adjoins an interesting feature of the project: a 12-foot-high wildlife tunnel designed to improve habitat and traffic safety.

The passageway lets animals cross under four lanes of highway to the Snohomish River, on one side, and Lord Hill Regional Park, a nearly 1,500-acre nature preserve, on the other.

The state credits the tunnel with reducing carversus-deer collisions.

There were seven recorded wildlife collisions in just one month during the fall of 2013, but that number has dropped to zero, Phelps said.

The state sought to improve water quality in nearby streams by routing a daylighted creek through the wildlife tunnel.

Keeping the creek that fed D’Angelo’s pond wasn’t an option because the culvert that carried it under the highway is collapsed and doesn’t provide acceptable fish habitat. The state intended to combine that stream with the other going through the nearby wildlife tunnel.

That would have been fine with D’Angelo, had it worked.

“It wasn’t until last summer that it was discovered that this stream feeds into Mr. D’Angelo’s pond,”

The pond on Joe D’Angelo’s property is home to many different species, including beavers, otters, deer and salmon. Water flow to the pond is being cut off by the state’s Highway 522 widening project.

WSDOT spokeswoman Kris Olsen said.

After D’Angelo brought the problem to the state’s attention, the WSDOT modified the project. The agency intended to direct water to his property with a temporary channel coming off the combined stream.

That didn’t work, either.

Throughout fall and winter, the pond was cut off from its supply of fresh water. During that time, the state was unable to work in the water because of the seasonal limitations of its construction permit.

By March, the low, stagnating water was impossible for D’Angelo

to ignore. That’s when he removed the sandbags with the construction worker.

The state’s plan is to dig a new channel this summer, bringing some of the flow from the tunnel creek to his pond. The water, however, will hit it from a different angle than the old stream did.

The work is expected to cost $5,000 or less.

“We’re trying to be as transparent as possible,” Phelps said. “He’s going to know everything that we know. We intend to make this right for him.”

D’Angelo is skeptical.

side of the pond, he isn’t sure how it could circulate fresh water through all of it. There’s also a small dike and duck nesting grounds in the way of the proposed channel, he said.

“I was assured this would not alter my view or my property,” he said. “I’m going to have a mosquito pond, stinking with nice orange slime.”

What D’Angelo saw when he woke up Friday morning put him in a foul mood: The pond water was dropping again, and fast.

“This is the stress I wake up to,” he said. “This is not once in a while — this is an ongoing nightmare.”

Monroe schools ask for $110.9M bond Property taxes are not expected to rise because the existing bonds will be paid off in 2016.

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — Voters here are deciding whether to approve a $110.9 million bond measure for the Monroe School District.

Ballots must be returned to the Snohomish County Auditor’s

Office by Tuesday, April 28. A 60 percent “super majority” is required for approval.

If passed, the bonds would provide money for improvements to school buildings, ball fields, technology, safety measures and other projects. State school construction money would add $21.3 million to the $110.9 million.

The district would levy property taxes to pay off the bonds, which would mature within 20 years. Superintendent Ken Hoover said the tax rate is

expected to remain the same because existing district bonds will be paid off in 2016.

Today district property owners pay $1.48 per $1,000 of assessed value for school bonds. The owner of a $278,400 home, the median price in Monroe, pays $412 a year for the existing school bonds. That amount is expected to remain unchanged.

The district wanted to keep the tax rate the same when it decided to ask for the $110.9 million, Hoover said. It failed to pass a bond in 2010 to cover some of

the same building improvements that will be addressed if this measure passes.

“It was a tough time to do anything with taxes. So we waited and waited,” said Hoover, who is retiring June 30.

Now Monroe has a long list of major renovation projects to complete with the $110.9 million.

Construction is planned to start in 2016 and continue for at least six years. The bond money would also pay for safety improvements, heating and ventilation, electrical upgrades and roofing,

flooring, sidewalks and other work.

The district has about 7,155 students in five elementary schools, two middle schools, a high school and five alternative schools. A community committee began evaluating conditions at the schools in 2013.

The committee and the Monroe School Board discussed support for a bond in meetings with about 500 people and more than twice that many online.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

Students wielded gardening tools, garbage bags, laughter and dance moves during the first Wesco Serve It Up Day last week.

Schools in the Western High School Athletic Conference, better known as Wesco, teamed up for a day of community service that let students focus on projects in their own cities while uniting

schools from around the region by serving on the same day.

After class Friday, volunteers cleaned parks, picked up campuses and helped with after-school activities for younger children, among other projects.

The Wesco high schools are Everett, Cascade, Henry M. Jackson, Mariner, Kamiak, Glacier Peak, Edmonds-Woodway, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Meadowdale, Shorewood,

Shorecrest, Marysville Pilchuck, Marysville Getchell, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Snohomish, Arlington, Stanwood, Mount Vernon and Oak Harbor.

While not all of the schools participated in the first Wesco Serve It Up Day, student leaders say, more than half planned projects and others might get involved if Serve It Up continues next year.

The presidents of student governments at Wesco schools meet

about once a month, and the idea to do projects on the same day came up at one of the meetings, said Hannah Scarth, student president and a senior at Arlington High School.

“It was something we all wanted to do to show unity and our school spirit,” she said. “What we kind of discovered is that even the little things remind people of See SERVE, Page A4

MUKILTEO — This is one city that takes the concept of spring cleaning seriously.

On April 27 and 29, households can take unlimited amounts of unwanted items to the curb for pick-up by Rubatino Refuse Removal and Waste Management-North Sound.

This year, the city expects to spend $20,000 to sponsor the event.

The annual Spring Clean-Up is a city tradition since 1984.

Items must be bundled, boxed or bagged and placed curbside near household trash containers.

Mukilteo cleanup Mukilteo’s annual Spring Clean-Up is scheduled for April 27 and 29.

It’s a time for residents to pitch unwanted items, which must be taken curbside and will be collected on residents’ regular trash day. Call by April 24 to 425-263-8000 to schedule pick up of refrigerators and freezers.

“We want to provide a service to our residents,” said Shawna Gossett, the city’s permit service supervisor. “They may not have the capacity to get (items) to the dump.”

The throwaways generally have to be light enough for a typical person to lift and carry.

of no more than three feet. However, bigger items are accepted, too.

“We’ve had water heaters, couches, beds, washers and dryers” disposed of during the event, Gossett said. The event provides an opportunity to get rid of items that don’t fit in trash containers during regular pickup days.

There also will be tours of nearby nature trails and an introduction to the solar panel installation at the center.

Utsalady Elementary School, the Snohomish Conservation District and Fire Mountain Solar are partnering with the community center to put on the event at 606 Arrowhead Road. More information is online at www. camanocenter.org.

Residents must call the city

by April 24 to have refrigerators and freezers picked up. All doors must be removed, and they, too, must be taken to curb.

Items that will not be picked up include electronics, tires, and hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, pesticides and gasoline.

The closest household hazardous waste station is at 3434 McDougall Ave. in Everett.

The clean-up event is timed to coincide with the city’s annual garage sale on April 25.

“We encourage residents to first reuse and recycle by participating in the garage sale,” as well, said Mayor Jennifer Gregerson.

EVERETT — Emergency dispatchers in Snohomish County are testing the ability to receive text messages to 911.

The service could be live here by 2016. If that happens, Snohomish County would be the second county in the state to adopt the technology.

Texting 911 is not meant to replace a traditional emergency call. Instead, it’s aimed at people with disabilities and situations where dialing the phone would put the caller in danger, such as during a shooting.

When the service launches, the message will be, “Call if you can.

Text if you can’t. Voice is always the preferred method,” said Laura Caster, a county 911 coordinator.

For now, a text to 911 will result in a bounce-back message notifying the person it didn’t go through.

More than 8,700 failed texts to 911 were reported in Washington last year, according to SNOCOM, the dispatch center based in Mountlake Terrace. Those numbers show that people are trying to connect via text, Caster said.

“That’s obviously important to us,” she said.

SNOCOM has finished testing with two of the four major wireless carriers, Executive Director Debbie Grady said. The other two carriers are scheduled this month.

One round of testing involved a deaf volunteer at the Madrona school in the Edmonds School District.

“We were trying to determine what the texts would look like and what the communication string would look like, to see how the flow of information went,” Grady said.

Local dispatch centers have been working with their counterparts around the state and the country. CenCom, the dispatch center serving Kitsap County, publicly launched 911 texting March 30, Executive Director Richard Kirton said.

So far, CenCom has received more than a dozen requests for

Bond: ‘We have buckets in the hallways catching drips’

Driver may have run red light in fatality Herald staff SNOHOMISH — Police believe that a driver may have run a red light before a fatal wreck on Highway 9 in Snohomish on Sunday.

A 26-year-old man from Outlook, near Yakima, was killed. His name was not made public Monday.

Witnesses told police the man had a green light when he began turning his Mitsubishi northbound onto Highway 9 from 56th Street SE.

Just before 3 p.m., he was struck by a southbound Audi driven by a 47-year-old Snohomish woman, according to police. Neither vehicle had passengers.

Witnesses said the Audi had a red light at the time.

The woman was taken to a local hospital. She did not have any obvious injuries at the scene, Snohomish County sheriff’s Lt. John Flood said Monday.

The investigation continues.

Park Place and Hidden River middle schools both need safety improvements, renovations, technology upgrades, new ball fields and updated classrooms.

The goal is to provide students a similar experience no matter which middle school they attend, Hoover said.

Monroe High School is slated to get new ball fields and upgrades to its Performing Arts Center,

should the bond measure pass.

Upgrades are also planned at Chain Lake, Fryelands and Maltby elementary schools, Sky Valley Education Center and Leaders in Learning.

It’s been more than a decade since voters last approved a bond for school buildings, in 2003.

That expiring levy paid for building Fryelands Elementary, modernizing

Maltby Elementary, adding a wing of classrooms and the sports stadium to Monroe High, and making space for music and physical education at Hidden River Middle School.

Voters have passed three of 20 bond requests since 1991.

“It’s absolutely time to do something, maybe past due,” district spokeswoman Rosemary O’Neil said.

In addition to Snohomish County, Island, King and Skagit counties are talking about adding the service.

Those conversations involve limitations, though.

For example, it’s likely 911 wouldn’t have technology to quickly and accurately translate texts in other languages, and wouldn’t be able to receive multimedia messages, such as pictures.

As with cell phone calls, texts provide limited information about the person’s location.

Earlier this year, representatives from SNOPAC, the dispatch center based in Everett, traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby in support of legislation that would provide more cellphone location to 911.

That includes location

information for text messages, SNOPAC Director Kurt Mills said.

The Washington State Patrol’s dispatch center in Marysville has been helping with the testing but isn’t part of the roll-out, officials said. At least two other police departments in the county — Tulalip and Bothell — run their own dispatch centers.

plan something that would involve all of the students,” she said.

Volunteers from Marysville Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell joined forces Friday to weed, pick up litter, turn over play chips, sweep boat ramps and scrub garbage cans and picnic tables at Ebey Waterfront Park on First Street. Nearly 50 students signed up to help.

Parks maintenance manager Mike Robinson directed volunteers as they grabbed rakes, clippers and weed pullers, then dispersed around the park.

“One of my favorite things to do is work with volunteers,” he said. “I love it when people find a date and commit to that. There’s a lot of organizations that put an X on the calendar to give back to the community.”

Roger Devora, a senior, is president at Marysville Getchell High School and worked with Price to coordinate the project. They hope Wesco Serve It Up will become an annual tradition.

“Even if Wesco didn’t do the event, I think it’s great for Marysville Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell to do it,” Price said.

After the park clean-up, the two schools put on a dance to bring more students together, Devora said.

Meanwhile, about 30 volunteers from Everett High School attacked blackberry bushes and picked up litter at Wiggums Hollow Park on 12th Street.

“We just really wanted to clean up a park,” said senior Trever Tuck, the school’s student president. “The students are in high school and

a lot of them have younger siblings and this was the most family-oriented project we could think of.”

They spent a sunny Friday evening cutting back thorny bushes in one corner of the park and picking up trash around the rest of it. The day ended with a barbecue to celebrate and thank volunteers. Students from other schools cleaned up their campuses, picked up trash on beaches or held food drives.

“We want to continue doing these types of service projects in the future,” Scarth said. “What we want to get across with all of these schools working on projects is that no matter how busy you are, you can always find a way — no matter how small — to help your community.”

“To me, it seems like this is the most community involvement we’ve ever had,” School Board President Katy Woods said.

The district wants to reduce the use of portable classrooms at all of the schools. Students now attend classes in about 40 portable rooms districtwide.

Many classrooms in the

district open to outside walkways, which makes emergency lockdowns less effective, Hoover said. With the bond money, the district would like to create one controlled entry point for each school and expand the use of security cameras.

Nelson rolls into pot business with ‘Willie’s Reserve’ Crash SPOKANE — Country music star Willie Nelson announced plans Monday to roll out his own brand of marijuana, capitalizing on his association with pot and the unofficial stoner holiday, 4/20.

The move makes the 81-year-old “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die” singer the latest celebrity to jump into the marijuana marketplace.

“Willie’s Reserve” will be grown and sold in Colorado and Washington, where recreational pot is legal. Nelson said in a statement that he’s “looking forward to working with the best growers in Colorado and Washington to make sure our product is the best on the market.”

Nelson joins other famous pot personalities, including rapper Snoop Dogg, who endorses vaporizing products;

INVISION

Willie Nelson performs at the 17th Annual Grammy Foundation Legacy Concert at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on Feb. 5. Nelson announced Monday that he plans to roll out his own brand of marijuana called “Willie’s Reserve” that will be grown and sold in Colorado and Washington.

singer Melissa Etheridge, developing marijuanainfused wine; and reality TV star and self-help guru Bethenny Frankel, who is working on a strain

of Skinnygirl weed that wouldn’t leave users with the munchies.

“Like other industries, branding and creative marketing is a big part of

supporting legal cannabis products,” said Vicki Christophersen, director of the Washington CannaBusiness Association.

Christophersen said these connections continue a long tradition of celebrities endorsing the use of marijuana — even decades before it became legal for adult use.

Nelson, who was not available for comment Monday, is among those with well-established connections to cannabis.

He’s been a decriminalization advocate and has been busted for pot possession several times. He also appeared in the stoner comedy “Half Baked.”

Washington and Colorado made pot legal for adult use in 2012. Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia also have removed legal restrictions, and more states are expected to vote on legalization next year.

Seattle tunnel subcontractor cited, fined for accident that injured four

By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — Washington state safety regulators issued two citations and a $2,050 fine against the subcontractor overseeing workers injured when a wall in the north portal of the Seattle tunnel project collapsed.

Four iron workers fell on Feb. 12, including one who was hospitalized after being seriously hurt.

Central Steel Inc. was cited for failing to ensure that all protruding rebar pieces were protected to prevent possible impaling if a worker were to fall on the reinforcing bars, according to the Department of Labor and Industry. Inspectors found the dangerous rebar setup while inspecting the site of the accident.

The April 9 citation said

“the injuries that occur when a worker is impaled on rebar are serious and would require hospitalization and possibly result in serious permanent disability.” That violation came with a $1,000 fine.

A second citation focused on the cause of the accident. It said Central Steel failed to make sure the rebar wall was secure enough to support the weight of the workers building it. The company was fined $1,050 for that violation.

A message left with the Lake Stevens-based Central Steel on Monday was not immediately returned.

Elaine Fischer, spokeswoman for Labor and Industry, said the agency received an appeal from Central Steel on April 15.

Laura Newborn, spokeswoman for the Washington Department

of Transportation, declined to comment and referred questions to the safety regulators.

Chris Dixon, project manager of Seattle Tunnel Partners, the company building the tunnel, said the penalty was against a subcontractor and not his group.

Seattle Tunnel Partners won the contract to design and build a tunnel under downtown Seattle, to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct that was damaged in a 2001 earthquake.

Bertha, the tunnel boring machine, was damaged and stopped working in December 2013, but work has continued on other sections of the tunnel.

The ironworkers were installing rebar for a concrete wall on the State Route 99 north portal when the accident occurred.

One worker suffered a laceration of his arm, chipped vertebrae, bruised kidney, broken ribs, a strained back and collapsed lung, according to a report by a Seattle Tunnel Partners health and safety manager acquired by The Associated Press through a public records request.

He was hospitalized for an unknown period of time.

The other men weren’t seriously hurt, including one who strained his back.

The report said the men fell when a lag bolt pulled free from a wooden board. The weight of the men stressed adjacent lag screws “due to inconsistent spacing of the vertical rebar on the northeast section of the wall.”

State safety inspectors said the violations were corrected.

statewide issues.

The protesting teachers say they want the Legislature to fund smaller classes for all grade levels. Voters approved an initiative in November to decrease class sizes.

Lawmakers have moved to shrink class sizes in kindergarten through third grade but say the cost to do so in all grade levels is too high.

They’re putting the classsize measure back on the ballot this November, a year after it passed with 51 percent of the vote.

Protesters also say teachers are overdue for a pay increase and better health benefits.

“When it comes to funding, it’s really those two issues: smaller class sizes and professional, competitive compensation,” said Rich Wood, a spokesman for the Washington Education Association.

Protesters also oppose a bill that would tie teacher performance evaluations to how well students do on standardized state tests. “It’s a policy that isn’t based in research and doesn’t help our kids and certainly not our teachers,” said Nyda Goldstein, an elementary school teacher and president of the Stanwood-Camano Education Association.

Teachers and administrators have worked to find fair evaluation systems, and the bill would undermine those efforts, she said.

“We’d rather be in the classroom on Wednesday,”

Goldstein said. “This isn’t our first choice, but eventually you get to the point where you have to do something.”

Two Republican lawmakers who represent the Stanwood-Camano School District aren’t happy with the teachers’ tactics and said there are ways to spread their message without forcing schools to close.

“I support their efforts. I don’t necessarily support their means when it comes down to inconveniencing the families,” said Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island. “It doesn’t help the kids.”

He and Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, said the Legislature is poised to make the largest investment ever in education in the next budget.

“I am not sure what union representatives are saying to teachers in the classroom,” Smith said. “I would just ask that they give them all the facts.”

Teachers in Lakewood and Stanwood-Camano plan sign-waving in the morning, followed by community service projects before the rally in Arlington.

“We understand that it is an inconvenience for families in our communities,” said Larry Delaney, a high school math teacher and president of the Lakewood Education Association.

“But our goal in inconveniencing families for a day is to vastly improve the quality of education for years to come, so we think

it’s a fair trade-off.”

The Legislature isn’t listening to teachers, said Eric Grant, middle school teacher and president of the Arlington Education Association. He hopes to get the community’s support in pressuring lawmakers to prioritize education.

Every day at Haller Middle School, morning announcements end with the school’s motto: “The choices you make today will shape your world tomorrow.”

“After listening to that for years, you’re compelled to act,” Grant said.

“Hopefully what teachers are doing today will shape our students’ world for many tomorrows.”

There are lawmakers empathetic to the intent of Wednesday’s action.

“This makes a big statement as to how important this issue is,” said Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo, vice chairwoman of the House Education Committee. “I think we take for granted how important it is for them.”

Proposed House and Senate budgets contain additional dollars for schools and teachers, but there’s no guarantee it will be the same sum in the end.

“If no one makes a noise, nobody listens and our teachers need a raise,” said Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee.

It’s hypocritical to require students to go to school but allow teachers to walk out when they’re unhappy, said Jami Lund, an education policy analyst at the Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank in Olympia.

He believes lawmakers are prioritizing where to spend state dollars the way most families would want them to.

“I’m always annoyed by disrupting student services for adults’ interests,” he said.

The walkouts likely won’t end with this week’s protests. Teachers in other districts are considering their own walkouts.

Snohomish School District educators have not planned a protest but are talking about it. They’re just as frustrated with lawmakers as their protesting counterparts, Snohomish Education Association President Justin Fox-Bailey said.

“I anticipate people will continue to get angry,” he said.

Union leaders in Sultan are supportive of a strike, Sultan Education Association President Andrea Fuller said. Teachers are set to vote later this month.

If they decide to walk out, Fuller hopes to coordinate with neighboring districts.

A rally for Washington teachers also is planned Saturday on the steps of the Capitol in Olympia.

The moves have created marketing opportunities, but links to celebrity smokers aren’t always considered a positive.

This year, the National Cannabis Industry Association decided to drop actor Tommy Chong — co-star of the “Cheech and Chong” comedy team — as it prepared to lobby Congress for pot-friendly regulations. The group wanted to move past the stoner stereotypes they say Chong represents in favor of positioning pot as similar to fine wine.

Others see it differently, however.

Chong has an endorsement deal with Marisol Therapeutics, a pot shop in Pueblo, Colorado, that sells a strain in his name.

Store owner Mike Stetler called Chong marijuana’s equivalent of the Marlboro Man, and when it comes to pot pitchmen, he asked, “Who better?”

Gillette, who was standing near the truck, was pinned between the two vehicles.

The collision occurred around 12:45 p.m.

The deputy, a nineyear sheriff’s office veteran, received a medical evaluation and was released Friday. He was placed on paid administrative leave pending results of the investigation. That is standard procedure, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

It is also standard procedure to conduct an internal investigation. That would occur after the State Patrol wraps up its case, Ireton said.

Europe’s migrant crisis escalates An emergency summit has been called by the EU after a weekend Mediterranean shipwreck that may have killed 900.

Associated Press

N.Y.: $500K medical prize ARGIRIS MANTIKOS / EUROKINISSI

A man rescues a migrant on the eastern island of Rhodes in the Aegean Sea on Monday.

if verified, would be the deadliest migrant tragedy ever — had “finally” fully awakened the European Union to the evils of human trafficking.

The EU has been under increasing criticism for lagging in its response to the crisis, with two shipwrecks believed to have killed as many as 1,300 migrants in the past week.

Some 400 people are believed to have drowned in another capsizing April 13.

Stopping the traffickers will be a key item on the agenda when EU leaders meet in an emergency summit Thursday in Brussels, along with a proposal to double spending on sea patrols off Europe’s southern border.

The 10-point plan includes a proposal to take “civil-military” action modeled on Europe’s anti-piracy operation off the coast of Somalia, to capture and destroy boats used by traffickers.

Meanwhile, new details emerged about the weekend disaster, with Italian prosecutors saying hundreds of migrants were locked below deck unable to escape when the rickety boat capsized off the coast of Libya.

Speaking at a news conference in Catania, Sicily, prosecutor Giovanni Salvi said “a few hundred were forced into the hold and they were locked in and prevented from coming out.” He said hundreds

more were locked on a second level of the boat, which also had hundreds of migrants squeezed into its upper deck.

Salvi said the migrants rushed to one side of the boat as they saw a Portugueseflagged container vessel approach, with the promise of rescue contributing to the disaster.

“Merchant ships don’t have adequate training for rescues in the seas,” Salvi warned. “The fact is, sea rescues are difficult and require professionalism. ‘’ As with most such high seas sinkings, a precise death toll will likely never be known.

Only 24 bodies have been recovered so far and only 27 survivors were rescued.

Humpbacks may lose endangered status

By Caleb Jones Associated Press

HONOLULU — The federal government Monday proposed removing most of the world’s humpback whale population from the endangered species list, saying they have rebounded after 45 years of protections.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries wants to reclassify humpbacks into 14 distinct populations, and remove 10 of those from the list.

“As we learn more about the species — and realize the populations are largely independent of each other — managing them separately allows us to focus protection on the animals that need it the most,” Eileen Sobeck, assistant NOAA administrator for fisheries, said in a statement.

Humpbacks were listed as endangered in 1970, four years after the International Whaling

BRENDA RONE / NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION

A humpback whale dives among an aggregation of short-tailed shearwaters on Sept. 7, 2005, in Cape Cheerful, Alaska.

Commission banned commercial whaling. The whales have rebounded in the North Pacific since the listing, which requires federal approval for federally funded or authorized activities that could harm whales or their habitat.

Last year, the state of Alaska filed a petition to remove

some North Pacific humpback whales from protection under the Endangered Species Act. That population, estimated at more than 5,800, feeds in Alaska in the summer and breeds in Hawaii in winter.

Environmental groups have said North Pacific whales continue to be vulnerable to factors

including increased shipping, climate change and ocean acidification, which affects the prey stock.

NOAA said protection and restoration efforts have led to an increase in humpbacks in many areas.

Under the plan, two of the populations would be listed as threatened, in Central America and the Western North Pacific. The other two populations — in the Arabian Sea and off Cape Verde and northwest Africa — would remain listed as endangered.

Humpbacks weigh 25 to 40 tons and can grow up to 60 feet long, according to NOAA’s website.

If the proposal passes, the humpback populations that are removed from the endangered list would still be protected under the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act. The public has 90 days to comment on the recommended changes.

Bombs shatter houses in Yemen capital The U.S. Navy is sending an aircraft carrier to join other American ships off the Yemeni coast.

By Ahmed Al-Haj Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — Saudi-led airstrikes hit weapons caches held by Iran-backed Shiite rebels, touching off massive explosions Monday in Yemen’s capital that killed at least 19 people and buried scores of others under the rubble of flattened homes.

The U.S. Navy, meanwhile, has dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt toward the waters off Yemen to join other American ships prepared to intercept any Iranian vessels carrying weapons to the rebels, U.S. officials said.

After the coalition airstrikes, mushroom clouds rose over the mountainous outskirts of Sanaa, where the arms depots are located. The Fag Atan area has been targeted several times since March 26, the start of the

Woman gets life for deaths of 6 infants PROVO, Utah — A Utah woman who pleaded guilty to killing six of her newborn babies was sentenced to up to life in prison Monday.

Judge Darold McDade handed down the term for Megan Huntsman, who told police she was too addicted to methamphetamine to care for more children. Huntsman, 40, pleaded guilty to six counts of murder in February.

The judge gave her the maximum sentence — at least 30 years and up to life in prison.

Huntsman’s estranged husband, Darren West, found the bodies in their garage in April 2014. A seventh baby found there was stillborn. The couple has three other children together.

By Colleen Barry MILAN — Shaken by the feared drowning of as many as 900 people in the latest Mediterranean tragedy, European leaders struggled Monday for an adequate response in the face of unremitting migrant flows and continued instability in Libya that has given free rein to human traffickers.

Even as the search continued for victims of the weekend disaster, coast guard ships rushed to respond to new distress calls on the high seas— two off Libya and a third boat that ran aground near Greece.

Decrying what he called an “escalation in these death voyages,” Italian Premier Matteo Renzi urged Europe to put the focus on preventing more boats from leaving Libya, the source of 90 percent of migrant traffic to Italy.

“We are facing an organized criminal activity that is making lots of money, but above all ruining many lives,” Renzi said at a news conference with Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat.

He compared their activity to that of slave traders of centuries past, “unscrupulous men who traded human lives.”

The European Union foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, said this weekend’s appalling human toll — which,

air campaign against the rebels known as Houthis.

“It was like the doors of hell opened all of a sudden,” said Mohammed Sarhan, whose home is less than 1 mile from the site. “I felt the house lift up and fall.”

Medical officials said many people were buried under the debris and the death toll was expected to rise.

The blasts — among the most powerful in Sanaa since the airstrikes began — deposited a layer of soot on the top floors of buildings in the Yemeni capital and left streets littered with glass. Anti-aircraft fire rattled in response.

One bomb hit near the Iranian Embassy in Sanaa. Iran summoned the kingdom’s envoy in Tehran in protest.

Saudi Arabia and several of its allies, mainly Gulf Arab countries, have been trying

to drive back the rebels, who seized Sanaa in September and have overrun many other northern provinces with the help of security forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The U.S. supports the Saudi campaign.

Western governments and Sunni Arab countries say the Houthis get their arms from Iran. Tehran and the rebels deny that, although the Islamic Republic has provided political and humanitarian support to the Shiite group.

The Houthis and Saleh’s troops have also advanced on the southern port of Aden, Yemen’s main sea hub, forcing President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to flee the impoverished but strategic country last month. The Houthis and their allies have been trying to take over Aden for weeks.

The announcement that the USS Theodore Roosevelt is heading for the region comes amid reports that a convoy of

Iranian ships may be headed toward Yemen to arm the Houthis.

There are about nine U.S. ships in the region, including cruisers and destroyers carrying teams that can board and search other vessels. The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ship movement on the record.

The carrier’s deployment follows last week’s approval of a U.N. Security Council resolution that imposed an arms embargo on three Houthi leaders, two key supporters, Yemen’s ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his son, and those acting on their behalf. The resolution passed in a 14-0 vote with Russia abstaining.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest would not comment specifically on any Navy movements in Yemeni waters, but said the U.S. has concerns about Iran’s “continued support for the Houthis.

Two scientists whose work on modern research technologies is expected to speed the pace of medical discoveries will share one of the richest prizes in medicine and science next month, officials at a New York hospital said Monday.

Minn.: Terrorism charges Six Minnesota men have been charged with terrorism in a criminal complaint unsealed Monday, the latest Westerners accused of traveling or attempting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group.

D.C.: Mammogram rules An expert panel convened by the federal government is standing by its controversial recommendation that most women should get mammograms to check for signs of breast cancer only once every two years, and that the tests need not begin until the age of 50.

The draft report from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reiterates that mammograms do indeed save lives, but also emphasizes the test’s downsides.

Chief among the problems is the risk that it will result in unnecessary procedures and treatment.

Md.: Fatal spine injury Baltimore’s top police officials, mayor and prosecutor sought to calm a “community on edge” Monday while investigating how a man received a fatal spine injury while under arrest.

A week after Freddie Gray was pulled into a police van, authorities don’t have any evidence explaining what happened to cause the “medical emergency” an arresting officer said Gray suffered while being taken to a police station, Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said. The Gray family’s lawyer, Billy Murphy, had said that Gray’s “spine was 80 percent severed at his neck.”

AROUND THE WORLD Turkey: Family arrested Police on Monday arrested a British couple with four children believed to have left England for Syria to join the Islamic State group, an official said. Asif Malik and his partner, Sara Kiran, were arrested in Ankara and their children — aged between 12 months and 7 years old — were in custody, the official said.

The family is expected to be deported.

Spain: Student kills teacher A 13-year-old boy armed with a crossbow and a machete killed a substitute teacher and wounded four other people at his school in Barcelona on Monday, police said. The boy was detained as a suspect in the attack that also saw two other teachers and two students injured. Authorities said the boy will not face criminal charges because he is under the age of 14.

Somalia: U.N. workers die Seven U.N. workers were killed when Islamist militants planted a bomb in a U.N. Children’s Fund bus in Somalia’s Puntland state, police said Monday.

Authorities suspected the attack was caused by a suicide bomber on the bus, in Garowe, the capital of Puntland.

Double trouble for limited-time deals Target found out the hard way when its Lilly Pulitzer-brand promotion led to quick sellouts and frustrated customers.

By Anne D’innocenzio Associated Press

NEW YORK — Target shoppers found out this weekend that when stores make deals to carry merchandise from high-end designers for a limited time, it can be, well, really limiting.

The discounter partnered with the Lilly Pulitzer brand to carry a collection of 250 pieces for a

fraction of the price of the Palm Beach designer’s original merchandise. But the line, which included $38 pink shift dresses and $25 beach towels, was wrought with long lines in stores, quick sellouts online and other problems.

The line shows the challenges stores face when they offer limited-time collections. These lines typically consist of cheaper

versions of designer pieces and are sold for a short period of time.

They generate buzz from aspirational buyers who want to don upscale brands as well as avid wearers of the labels themselves.

But the high demand can be a double-edged sword: Often, customers encounter picked-over merchandise and website snafus.

Target, which pioneered these partnerships in the 1990s and has been followed by rivals like H&M, Gap and Kohl’s, started selling the Lilly Pulitzer collection Sunday online at about 4 a.m. EST and

at stores at 8 a.m. EST. Demand was so heavy that Target took the site offline for 20 minutes, which caused angry chatter on social media. Ultimately, the items sold out online within a few hours and at many of the 1,800 stores within a half hour.

Target apologized for the online snafu, noting an “inconsistent experience for our guests.”

And spokesman Joshua Thomas said pieces could still be found at stores.

Small victory for fliers They’ll catch a break —$2.10 — with summer fares

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

After years of steadily rising airfare, travelers this summer can expect a tiny bit of relief — $2.01 in savings to be exact.

The average roundtrip domestic ticket this summer, including taxes, now stands at $454, down less than a percent from last summer. Vacationers to Europe will fare better with the average ticket down 3 percent to $1,619, about $50 less than last summer.

Not all travelers will get to save.

Flights to Hawaii, Florida and New Orleans are cheaper, but travelers heading to New York, Denver and San Francisco can expect to pay more.

Even in Europe, it depends on the destination. Overall fares are down but it will cost more this summer to fly to cities like Amsterdam; London; Budapest, Hungary; Lisbon, Portugal;

Frankfurt, Germany or Reykjavik, Iceland.

Prices are coming down because airlines are now saving billions of dollars thanks to lower fuel prices and because more seats have been crammed into planes, spreading out costs over more passengers.

European economic troubles are also keeping some seats empty as business travelers stay home.

The generally good news about fares comes in a report released Monday by the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes ticket transactions for airlines and travel agencies such as Expedia, American Express and Carlson Wagonlit. The study looks at 4.1 million tickets purchased before March 31 this year and last year for travel between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Airfare during the first three months of this year was

also lower, down 3.7 percent domestically and 8.9 percent internationally.

Even with the moderate relief this summer, prices are still higher than just a few years ago.

The average domestic roundtrip ticket is still $13, or 3 percent, higher than it was in 2012. European trips are $60, or 3.9 percent, more expensive.

Travelers can thank lower oil prices and more seats on planes for keeping this summer’s airfare in check.

Airlines at the start of the year paid $2.13 for each gallon of jet fuel, down 30 percent from last year’s $3.03, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. With U.S. airlines burning through 42 million gallons of fuel a day, that 90-cent savings adds up quickly: $14.7 billion for the entire year if prices remain at See FLY, Page A8

NEW YORK — This is the last year that the original version of Kraft Mac & Cheese sold in the U.S. will contain artificial preservatives or synthetic colors.

In January, Kraft says its macaroni and cheese will be colored using paprika, annatto and turmeric.

Ford showed off its new Taurus and Nissan unveiled a midsize sedan designed for China on Monday at a Shanghai Auto Show that highlighted the commercial resurgence of lower-priced Chinese auto brands.

Competition in China is intensifying as economic growth slows and more manufacturers pile into the world’s biggest auto market by number of vehicles sold. Global automakers are spending heavily to appeal to Chinese tastes and local brands are rolling out lower-cost versions of SUVs and other vehicles.

U.S. businesses expect sales to rebound in the next three months after a sluggish first quarter, and they also plan to boost hiring and pay, according to a survey released Monday. Just 49 percent of firms said their sales increased in the first three months of the year. That’s down from 54 percent that reported higher sales in the last survey, in January.

Yet nearly three-quarters of companies forecast higher sales over the next three months.

Global, Chinese automakers debut new cars

Businesses hopeful

By Anne D’innocenzio NEW YORK — A union is asking labor regulators to go to court to force Wal-Mart to rehire all 2,200 employees affected by the abrupt temporary closing of five stores a week ago.

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union filed the charge on behalf of OUR Walmart with the National Labor Relations Board on Monday, arguing the closings were retaliation for labor activism. Wal-Mart says it closed the stores to fix plumbing issues.

One affected store, in Pico Rivera, California, has been a hotbed for worker protests against Wal-Mart. It was the first store to wage such protests, in October 2012. The other stores are in Midland and Livingston, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Brandon, Florida.

“This is a new low, even for Wal-Mart,” Venanzi Luna, an eight-year Wal-Mart worker and member of OUR Walmart, said in a statement. “Through OUR Wal-Mart, we’re going to keep fighting back until the company gives us our jobs back.”

Wal-Mart said in a statement that it does not believe there is any basis for an injunction. “As we have said all along, these stores were closed temporarily so we could fix the ongoing plumbing issues and it would be unfortunate if this outside group attempts to slow this process down for our associates and customers,” the company said.

Wal-Mart spokesman Lorenzo Lopez told The Associated Press that the stores would remain shuttered for up

U.S. and larger food producers are trying to follow their customers in that direction.

Cirque du Soleil sells majority stake to private equity

By Rob Gillies Associated Press

TORONTO — The founder of the Cirque Du Soleil said Monday he is giving up the majority stake in his circus troupe that has wowed audiences worldwide for 30 years and propelled him from street performer to billionaire.

What was once a small troupe of vagabonds has grown to a 4,000-person operation headquartered in Montreal that will now be controlled by the U.S. private equity firm TPG.

Cirque founder Guy Laliberte told a news conference in Montreal that he has signed a deal to sell a majority stake to TPG for an undisclosed price. He will maintain a 10 percent stake in the business and continue to provide strategic and creative input to the company.

“I want to set other creative challenges for myself,” said Laliberte, 55.

Laliberte also said he didn’t want to pass the business on to his five children, ages 7 to 18.

“They have their dreams

and as a father I have made the commitment to support them as they chase them,” he said.

“I don’t really believe in the idea of the second generation of entrepreneurs.

From the outset, I didn’t want to put the pressure of running the circus on their shoulders,” he said.

Cirque du Soleil is known for its cutting-edge shows that feature aerialists, acrobats and contortionists. It shuns the traditional use of animals and instead embraces acrobats, music and dance.

Since he founded his circus company in 1984 with $1.5 million in funding from Quebec’s provincial government, Cirque has played to almost 160 million spectators in more than 330 cities in 48 countries.

Chinese investment firm Fosun and Quebec pension fund management firm Caisse de depot will hold minority stakes, while Quebec businessman Mitch Garber will become Cirque chairman.

TPG is the world’s largest casino owner.

these levels.

Travelers are only seeing a sliver of those savings.

The rest of the money is being used to upgrade airplanes and airports, pay employee bonuses and reward shareholders as airlines continue to post record profits.

European economic woes are also keeping some business travelers home, helping lower fares for vacationers.

Fares are down to airports in Spain, Italy and

France. However, cities in Germany and England, whose economies are stronger, are still higher this summer compared to last year.

Part of the savings is also linked to airlines adding extra seats on certain routes.

One of the best bargains to Europe right now is between New York and Milan, Italy. That’s because four airlines fly that traditional business route nonstop each day including Dubai-based Emirates Airline.

Starting in June, Emirates will fly the world’s largest jet, the Airbus A380, carrying 489 people between the two cities.

That’s 129 more passengers a day than it currently carries, helping to bring down prices.

The same situation is true for Hawaii.

There are 5 percent more seats between Hawaii and the rest of the country this summer, compared to last.

That’s helping to lower ticket prices to most airports there by about 10 percent.

to six months. The company has said that the workers would be put on paid leave for two months and it would look to transfer some to nearby stores.

He did acknowledge that it was atypical for Wal-Mart to temporarily close stores for plumbing issues but said the company wanted to improve the customer experience.

“We understand this decision has been difficult on our associates and our customers and

we aim to reopen these stores as soon as these issues are resolved and improvements are made,” Wal-Mart said in a statement.

Lopez noted that the stores have had between 100 and 140 service calls for plumbing issues, the highest incidence of plumbing issues in its 4,500 stores. He declined to elaborate on specific problems.

The worker group wants the labor board to seek a court injunction, which can be quicker than

typical NLRB proceedings.

Wal-Mart has gotten itself in trouble for similar actions. In June 2014, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that Wal-Mart had violated labor laws when it closed a store in Quebec. The employees in that location had voted to join a union. That made it the first unionized store in North America just before the store was closed.

Wal-Mart has been making moves to increase pay for its workers. The company said in February that it was increasing the minimum wage it pays its hourly workers to at least $9 this month and to at least $10 in February 2016.

Among the projects that the fund could aid in Washington state next year would be preservation of 165 acres of historic farmland at Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island through the use of conservation easements. Ebey’s Landing, a National Historical Reserve, has protected public land with stunning vistas and farmland that has been in working production since the 1850s. (For more about Ebey’s Landing, see Herald Writer Gale Fiege’s story on Whidbey Island and Ebey’s Landing in the April 18 Herald.)

No taxpayer has ever paid a

dime into this fund. Each year the conservation fund receives about $900 million from a portion of the fees collected from offshore oil-drilling operations, but over the years some of that funding has been diverted by Congress for uses other than the act’s language intended.

That loss of funding should be corrected, but the fund itself faces a questionable future, judging by recent symbolic votes in Congress.

In late March, the U.S. Senate voted 51-49 on an amendment to a nonbinding budget resolution that would allow for the transfer to the states of federal public lands, with the exception of national parks and monuments.

Those public lands, including national forests, wildlife refuges, historical areas and wilderness areas, could then be auctioned off by each state as its current legislature and governor saw fit. It’s not hard to imagine a situation in which

a state, strapped for cash, would seek to sell off lands once owned by all Americans.

The budget amendment isn’t likely to become law anytime soon, but it followed a similar vote, again nonbinding, in the House, 228-119, to turn over public lands to state and local governments to allow “increased resource production.” In both votes Republicans heavily carried the majorities.

But in seeking to turn over public lands to private companies, the votes in the House and Senate ignore the economic benefit, not to mention the lands’ intrinsic value, that national forests and public lands already provide to the nation through timber and other resource production and recreation.

Legislation has been proposed in the House to reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which would otherwise expire at the

end of September. The House bill incorporates language in legislation sponsored by Washington’s Sen. Maria Cantwell that was approved by a Senate majority in January.

What’s significant is that among the House bill’s original co-sponsors is 8th District Republican Rep. Dave Reichert, who in signing onto the legislation said the conservation fund has “played a pivotal role in preserving America’s national treasures for future generations.

“In Washington alone, it has helped to conserve the natural beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail, Mount Rainier National Park, the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and the Columbia River Gorge.”

We hope Rep. Reichert can persuade fellow Republicans to recognize the value that federally managed public lands already hold and secure the reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MUKILTEO

Waterfront access remains a wish Having access to Edgewater Beach again is great (“April 16 article, “Public access to Mukilteo’s Edgewater Beach restored”) and the Port of Everett did an admirable job getting the Mount Baker crossing re-opened (now a train horn quiet zone) and building a new road with sidewalks to Edgewater Beach (next to the Boeing pier).

However, there is no legal access from Mukilteo’s waterfront area to Edgewater Beach. The only legal access requires you to take Mukilteo Lane from Mukilteo Boulevard. Unfortunately, the information provided by the Port of Everett suggested otherwise, and many learned too late that they couldn’t (and can’t) legally access Edgewater Beach from Mukilteo’s waterfront.

Although the waterfront path from the Sounder station to Edgewater Beach was opened in June of last year, it was closed (unnecessarily) for construction of the new road. It was supposed to be open when the construction was finished, but now it won’t because Washington State Ferries has begun flexing its muscles in preparation for the

ferry move.

Mukilteo Lane is closed (and has been for over a year now) for the Sound Transit construction and the new gravel path next to the tracks connecting the Sounder station to the new access road won’t be open until the Sound Transit construction is finished.

So, waterfront access in Mukilteo continues to be a wish and not a reality. I can hardly wait for the new ferry terminal construction to start.

It’s going to be a mess.

■■COURTHOUSE

An example how citizens ignored Various readers have written in to oppose the building of a new courthouse in Everett. You may add my name to that list.

We do not need a new courthouse, there’s nothing wrong with the one we have; further more, it’s a waste of money.

Whose money? Guess! The taxes imposed on the citizenry are horrible! And to what end?

After sitting in on an issue described as a public hearing, elsewhere, I soon realized that the public really has no say; the issue in question had already been decided.

Have your say E-mail: letters@heraldnet.com Mail: Letters section The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206 I thought the U. S. Constitution was supposed to be “of the people, by the people, for the people,” originally. What happened? The citizens really have no voice, it’s all a sham.

Only the governments, from the top on down, have any say.

GUEST COMMENTARY | WSU North Puget Sound at Everett

More college options key to our economy

By Bob Drewel

I

t has been a year since I joined the team at Washington State University and partnered with Dean Paul Pitre to engage with the community and expand access to higher education and the academic offerings at Everett University Center and WSU North Puget Sound at Everett.

What a year it has been.

We have worked sideby-side with our academic partners, civic leaders and advisers to continue the evolution of offering quality higher education opportunities for the residents of North Puget Sound. Our efforts include completing the design for a new building for classrooms, laboratories and other student services that, if approved by the Legislature, will be built immediately adjacent to Everett Community College. We are implementing the strategic plan and have

asked the Legislature to support the delivery of 10 new academic degree programs in the fields of aviation maintenance, aviation management, software engineering, data analytics and agriculture.

The new building and proposed academic programs align with the Legislature’s strategic vision for the growth of the the Everett University Center. It also aligns with WSU’s role in managing the consortium while focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematic programs that will fuel the workforce needs for advanced manufacturing, high tech and service industries.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to offer juniorand senior-level courses in degrees that are in high demand in our area. We not only want to ensure students have the options to start their post-secondary education at a community college and then

earn his/her bachelor’s degree right here in Everett, we want our graduates to be employable in the high demand fields that define our region.

We are proud that WSU North Puget Sound at Everett now has more than 90 students on the way to completing their college degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, integrated communications and hospitality business management. WSU will forever be identified in part by the skills, ingenuity and contributions of our graduates, many who are raising families and working in the North Puget Sound region; we are pleased that WSU NPS at Everett will be adding to the illustrious list of 125 years of alumni.

We also recognize how WSU’s research has and will continue to tackle complex societal problems in a tangible and practical way. Our WSU Mount Vernon Research and Extension Center is a shining

example of how research benefits the character and economic impact of our area’s agriculture sector by helping expand new crops and value-added production in the Skagit Valley.

Successfully increasing higher education access reflects a 30-year dream for many in our community.

We are immensely pleased that WSU has been able play a part in furthering collaborative efforts that are unique both in the delivery of higher education and bringing post secondary institutions together in Everett, for the North Puget Sound region.

WSU is excited at what the future holds and looks forward to many more years in advancing our academic and research mission in benefit to our state and Snohomish, Island and Skagit counties.

Bob Drewel is the interim chancellor at WSU North Puget Sound at Everett.

We have met the partisans, and they are us

A

fter a political rally last week in which Democrats criticized the Obama administration for siding with Republicans on trade, I had a talk about the future of the party with Rep. Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat who is one of the most ferocious partisans in the House.

It does no good, he told me, for Democrats to “pretend to be Republican” or to “run corporate campaigns and try to pretend that they’re going DANA MILBANK to govern from the middle.” His rationale: There is no middle.

“Essentially there are no undecided voters. Everybody has picked a team. The only question is, do your guys vote or not?” Grayson explained.

That justifies Grayson’s incendiary politics; he’s the guy who famously said that the Republican health care plan is “die quickly,” and called Republicans “knuckle-dragging Neanderthals,” “unscrupulous” and “the Selfish Party.”

He operates essentially under the same no-compromise logic that propels Ted Cruz and other Republican fanatics. And as much as I oppose their style of politics, I fear that their assessment of the electorate is increasingly correct.

Up until the mid-1980s, the typical American held the view that partisans on the other side operated with good intentions.

But that has changed in dramatic fashion, as a study published last year by Stanford and Princeton researchers demonstrates.

It has long been agreed that race is the deepest divide in American society. But that is no longer true, say Shanto Iyengar and Sean Westwood, the academics who led the study. Using a variety of social science methods, they document that “the level of partisan animus in the American public exceeds racial hostility.”

Americans now discriminate more on the basis of party than on race, gender or any of the other divides we typically think of. Americans increasingly live in neighborhoods with like-minded partisans, marry fellow partisans and disapprove of their children marrying mates from the other party, and they are more likely to choose partners based on partisanship than on physical or personality attributes.

“Unlike race, gender and other social divides where group-related attitudes and behaviors are constrained by social norms, there are no corresponding pressures to temper disapproval of political opponents,” they conclude. “If anything, the rhetoric and actions of political leaders demonstrate that hostility directed at the opposition is acceptable, even appropriate. Partisans therefore feel free to express animus and engage in discriminatory behavior toward opposing partisans.”

Up to and through the early 1980s, the average American had a neutral view of opposing partisans. But since then, “partisans have come to dislike the opposition and like co-partisans dramatically more,” Westwood told me. Favorable feelings toward partisans on the other side have dropped by 10 percentage points.

Also of note is that the partisan polarization occurs even though Americans aren’t all that split on policies or ideology. Their partisanship is more tribal than anything — the result of an ill-informed electorate. “In order to have an understanding of the ideology of your party and the opposing party, you have to have a lot of information,” and “that’s something that just doesn’t happen for the majority of the electorate,” said Westwood. “However, most people understand their side is good and the opposing side is bad, so it’s much easier for them to form these emotional opinions of political parties.”

This leads to a grim conclusion: The problem with politics isn’t Washington, but the electorate. Members of Congress, most of whom come from safely gerrymandered districts, are behaving in a perfectly rational way when they avoid cooperation with the other party and instead try to build support within their own tribe.

Elected officials and professional partisans then reinforce the tribal tendency in the electorate with overheated rhetoric, perpetual campaigns, negative ads, and increasingly partisan media outlets.

“The individuals who hold more hostility are then given the green light to hold these more hostile positions,” Westwood explained.

So does he see a way out of this tribal cycle of hatred? “Sadly, no.”

Fixing Washington becomes more complicated if the problems here are also deep in the American electorate.

Edmonds couple turning 77 on same day hopes for jackpot PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK

Helping families ID problem drinking

J

of the leaves’ active components, there is evidence that their benefits still apply when they are cooked and eaten as part of a regular meal, too.

The best way to have fresh herbs at your fingertips is to grow them yourself, in your garden or in pots on your windowsill. This way, all you need to do is snip as desired, and the beauty and scent of the plants will be a natural reminder to use them.

oe has been increasing his alcohol use for several years, and now he’s drinking an entire bottle of wine or more, four to five nights a week. He doesn’t think he’s impaired; after all he’s built up a high tolerance. But his family is angry and embarrassed. Joe doesn’t drink at work, so he doesn’t think he has a problem.

“So what if I like to have a couple of glasses of wine at the end of the week or on Saturday night,” says Joe. He’s not like his uncle and his mother who both drank heavily during the day and died from liver failure.

But his family has an entirely different story about his alcohol use. They notice how he slurs his words and forgets what they tell him. Frequently, he passes out in his easy chair and has to be led to his bed.

Joe’s biggest problem is that he doesn’t think he has a problem.

He’s developing many of the symptoms of Alcohol Use Disorder (most recent way of classifying a range of alcohol problems): increasing use, growing tolerance, cravings, and denying the impact of his alcohol use on himself and others. Plus, he has strong genetic loading for alcohol dependence. His wife has talked to him, his teenage kids have spoken to him, but he’s stubborn and won’t seek help.

Secretly, he’s tried to cut back his drinking, but he hasn’t been successful.

The problem of alcohol abuse and dependence is huge in the United States. According to the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse (NIAA), 16.6 million adults had an Alcohol Use Disorder in 2013. Nearly 88,000 people die from alcohol related deaths yearly, which makes it the third-leading cause of death. It’s a serious problem.

For every alcoholic, there is a family that struggles with their alcoholic husband, wife, mother, father, son or daughter.

The Behavioral Health Department of The Everett Clinic sees hundreds of men and women like Joe every year. They come in for a visit because their primary care provider sends them.

They’re depressed (alcohol is a potent depressant) or their family has pressured them to see someone.

Many of these adults leave a trail of crumbs behind them. Part of them hopes that the clinician will follow the trail of crumbs and identify alcohol as the culprit, and part of them hopes they won’t. They are ambivalent about their use of alcohol.

Helping these individuals find their way into alcohol treatment is the challenge for primary care providers, clinicians, and family members. The more we push them to get help, the more they push back. Confrontation can strengthen their resistance to change.

A more collaborative, interactive approach is helpful.

When Joe comes to see me, I ask him “What do you like about drinking? What are the negative effects? How much do you want to make a

This seasoned married couple is betting on it.

Roger and Jeanne Bray both turn 77 on April 27.

“That’s 77-77 on the 27th,” Jeanne said. “With all those 7s, we’re thinking it has to be very lucky.”

Guess where they’re heading on April 27? That’s right. The casino. They’re spending the night at Angel of the Winds in Arlington to celebrate.

The Edmonds couple’s shared birthdate has been a source of enjoyment in their nearly 55 years of wedlock. They were born 90 minutes apart on April 27, 1938.

“I was born at 10:30 in the morning,” Jeanne said.

“And I was at noon,” Roger said, “so I’m second in command automatically.”

She arrived at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and he came into the world in Vancouver, British Columbia.

“So we weren’t twins,” she said.

They go to Angel of the Winds almost every week for an hour or so.

“I consider it a senior center,” Roger said.

“It’s senior day care,” Jeanne said. “We’re not really gamblers.

It’s a fun thing to do as long as you don’t get out of control.”

They’ve earned the right to have a little fun. Heck, a lot of fun. Both are retired elementary teachers from the Edmonds district. Jeanne taught fourth grade

She was no-nonsense and his favorite saying was “It is what it is.”

He’s been saying that decades before it was a popular thing to say. Jeanne believes he coined it.

They met 57 years ago when their best friends, who were dating, fixed them up on a blind double date.

“It was OK,” she said.

“It was a good movie,” he said.

After the show, they went parking with the other couple.

“We were sitting in the back seat. They were in the front seat fogging up the windows,” he said.

“He invited me to go for a walk,” she said.

On the next date, she introduced him to her parents and he called them by the wrong name. When he took her home she reached around to get her sweater and he thought she was making a move on him, so of course he assisted.

It only got better from there.

knew it, they were retired, with time to travel and play with their grandkids.

They added a weekly jaunt to a casino to their regimen when Angels of the Winds opened in 2004. It’s a pleasant drive in their Prius, and Jeanne likes the discount at the fuel station using their casino club card.

They have a set routine of penny slot machine action.

“I play the Wild Bears. She plays the Mona Lisa’s,” he said.

So, no, they don’t sit next to each other and hold hands.

“Sometimes I have to hold his hand to pull him out the door,” she said.

They often run into former students, some who are now grandparents themselves.

“They say, ‘Hi, Mr. Bray, I was in your class,’ ” he said.

Their modest jackpots haven’t landed them in the Winners Gallery. Not even close, but who knows what will happen on April 27.

“She loses more but she also wins more,” Roger said. “She has more points than I do.”

He’s happy with pocket change. He collects slot vouchers to cash in for coins to count and wrap at home.

“It’s kind of a crazy little thing,” Jeanne said. “With his beginning problem with (his) memory, it’s very good that he does something like this. It keeps him a little bit sharper.”

As Roger would say: “It is what it is.”

Promote herbs to full partner on your plate

By Ellie Krieger Special to The Washington Post

As a passionate food lover as well as a nutritionist, I’m always searching for that sweet spot where delicious and healthful meet. Herbs hit it perfectly.

These luscious leaves — parsley, basil, cilantro, mint, thyme, oregano, rosemary and the like — not only add enticing aroma, fresh flavor and vivid green color to food, but also have remarkable health benefits. When you move beyond thinking of herbs

as mere garnishes and start to see them as major culinary players, a whole world of healthy taste opens up to you.

Herbs have been used since ancient times for their medicinal properties, mostly concentrated into teas and tinctures. More recently, their healthful value as a food ingredient has been realized. For one, herbs add a burst of flavor to food, allowing you to cut back on salt without sacrificing taste. And several herbs, including parsley, have significant amounts of the essential

DAILY CROSSWORD

Grieving a death is different for each person Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My only sibling and I lost our mom earlier this year to a surprise infection that set in following routine surgery. She wasn’t sick, rather she was very healthy, so it was a total shock to us and very devastating to the whole family to see this vibrant, youthful woman deteriorate before our eyes.

I have been seeing a grief counselor (quite helpful) and have been relying heavily and gratefully on the support of my family and friends. The one person I expected to rely on most, my sister, has been supportive but surprisingly not devastated, even somewhat distant.

At one point I expressed surprise at how well she was taking our mother’s death. She explained to me that following the death of her son (at age 3, two years ago), she does not think she will ever experience any other form of grief in the same way — losing a parent does not come close to losing a child in terms of the grief it causes.

I do not have children, so I have very little basis on which to react to this. Sis has always seen a counselor since her son died,

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT and has not made any changes to her routine since Mom’s passing.

It seems to be business as usual.

We were both very close to Mom, and I cannot help but feel somewhat abandoned, a little betrayed on Mom’s behalf, and worried about my sister’s reaction. What should I do? — California Nothing, except to keep tending to your grief in the ways you know are working, and, if you can, to find a way to stop judging your sister. She has seen her world shatter into little bits, something from which parents just don’t fully recover. I don’t think it is within the human capacity to react, two years later, as if that hasn’t happened.

Consider that she’s not taking your mother’s death “well,” she’s just in a version of “business as usual” that already accounts for so much grief that it’s not

possible to notice a difference when there’s more. Imagine dumping Lake Superior into the Pacific.

Yes, I’m projecting here — I don’t actually know your sister’s mind or heart — but even though I still cry over the mom I lost 12 years ago, I can wake up sobbing just from a nightmare about one of my kids, even after I figure out it was just a dream. It’s just a whole different universe — we’re socialized to lose parents, but not children.

That doesn’t mean one is less significant, it’s just that the former feels like nature, even if sometimes premature, and the latter feels like a crime against it.

It also seems probable, if not likely, that part of what you’re seeing in your sister’s “somewhat distant” response is numbness.

She also could be upset that you don’t grasp what she’s going through and instead expect her to feel as you do.

Please don’t take it personally yourself or on your or your mother’s behalf. Just know you have to lean on someone else — at least until you’re strong enough to let your sister lean on you, when and if you’re willing.

Dear Abby: May I comment on your response to “Got Here First in Pennsylvania” (Jan. 7), who asked whether someone sitting at the end of a church pew should move if someone comes and says it’s his or her “favorite seat”?

There are many reasons why people remain sitting at the end of a pew: an allergy to perfumes can be overwhelming if you’re sitting in the middle of a row; claustrophobia; weak bladder; physical limitations; the need for more leg room; and the need to use the armrest to stand up and sit down.

The early bird DOES get the worm and shouldn’t be expected to give it to latecomers. Likewise, possession is nine-tenths of the law. If people have a favorite seat, they should arrive early to ensure they’ll get it. That’s what we do.

And when someone wants to sit in the same pew, we smile, step aside and let the person in while retaining our end seats. — Overland Park, Kan., Attendee Dear Attendee: Thank you for making your strongly stated case.

I am not the guy you would want to have to crawl over, or have crawl over you in church. When sitting at the end of the pew, I can easily step into the aisle to let people in and out.

In Milwaukee Dear Abby: As a pastor, I believe good behavior should come first and foremost from church members who respect others and don’t insist on their own way. Nobody “owns” a seat in the sanctuary. As creatures of habit, we tend to sit where we usually sit.

If someone else happens to be there, we simply find somewhere else.

If “Got Here” was just starting to visit that church, I’d suggest he/she find a more charitable and hospitable congregation and leave those territorial folks behind. — Jeanne In Austin Dear Abby: How can you say that one person, in the house of God, is more right than another in this situation?

In today’s deal, West led the four of spades against South’s four hearts. Knowing the lead was a singleton, East hastily took the ace and returned a spade. West ruffed and led a trump, but when East won and led a third spade, South ruffed high; as the cards lay, he could have

Mark Hamill was ‘suspicious’ of J.J. Abrams

America’s Front Yard”: A National Geographic/PBS Special tells the surprising story of the National Mall’s creation and evolution. 8 p.m., PBS From Herald news services

Mark Hamill knew he had to say yes when George Lucas told him about the plans to move forward with a new “Star Wars” trilogy.

“It’s not like a choice. It’s like I was drafted,” Hamill told a massive crowd Saturday night at Star Wars Celebration of his decision to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

“Could you imagine if for some reason I said ‘I don’t think I want to do it?’ I would have all of you surrounding my house like villagers, angry villagers with lightsabers instead of torches,” joked the 63-yearold “Star Wars” veteran.

Hamill admitted he was caught off guard when Lucas invited him to lunch. When Hamill’s wife surmised that perhaps there was a new film in the works, Hamill laughed.

Lucas had told him specifically that he was done

There are 254 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On April 21, 1975, with Communist forces closing in, South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned after nearly 10 years in office and fled the country.

On this date: In 1649, the Maryland Toleration Act, providing for freedom of worship for all Christians, was passed by the Maryland assembly.

In 1789, John Adams was sworn in as the first vice president of the United States.

In 1836, an army of Texans led by Sam Houston defeated the Mexicans at San Jacinto, assuring Texas independence.

In 1910, author Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, died in Redding, Connecticut, at age 74.

In 1918, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, the German ace known as the “Red Baron,” was killed in action during World War I. In 1930, a fire broke out inside the overcrowded Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, killing 332 inmates.

In 1940, the quiz show that asked the “$64

making “Star Wars” movies after the prequels.

He assumed Lucas was going to announce a 3-D release or roll out another box set of the films, laughing about the number of versions that have been made available.

Still, his interest was piqued when Lucas disinvited Hamill’s daughter. He knew that meant it must be big.

When things started coming together, Hamill said he was cautiously optimistic about J.J. Abrams, the chosen director for “The Force Awakens.”

“I was a little suspicious because he was a ‘Star Trek’ guy,” said Hamill, laughing.

The actor quickly clarified that he likes “Star Trek.”

“It just seems odd,” he said.

He went on to compliment Abrams for his inclusiveness. Abrams, Hamill noted, is also the

WELLER’S CAFÉ

which debuted on Thursday during the Celebration kick-off panel.

In the teaser, we hear Luke’s voice saying a familiar, but slightly altered line from “Return of the Jedi”: “The force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. You have that power too.”

He laughed and said that he kept messing up and saying: “My father had it.”

The end result is a combination of the original recording and Hamill’s new session, the actor said.

Hamill marveled that there is “so much information there for you to speculate about” embedded in the footage.

“It implies so much that’s gone on from ‘Jedi’ till now,” he said.

“They don’t call it a teaser for nothing. They want to tease you.”

I like to send individuals with alcohol problems to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) so that they can check out a meeting and see what they learn. If I had a dollar for every person I sent to AA, I could retire. It’s a great program, it’s free, and moreover, if an adult sticks with it, they will

find themselves on the road to recovery.

When they come back to see me, I talk to them about their experience and find out what they learned. I explore their reactions. It’s a dialogue. For many adults, it’s a first step toward acknowledging that they have a

problem and then seeking help.

I also send family members to Al-Anon, to learn about how to cope with their alcoholic parent, spouse, or child.

or spin dry in a salad spinner, then wrap them in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag or an airtight container.

Regardless of how carefully you select or refrigerate them, fresh cut herbs are highly perishable. The tenderest leaves, such as basil and cilantro, will usually not last more than a week in the refrigerator. Firmer types such as parsley and

oregano will keep a bit longer, and hearty rosemary and thyme will last a couple of weeks. To preserve them longer, chop them and place in ice cube trays with stock or water. Freeze; then transfer the herb cubes into a plastic bag and keep frozen to add to soups, stews and sauces.

Although fresh herbs offer a clean, bright flavor and

springlike appeal, don’t write off dried, which have upsides of their own. Dried herbs are easy to keep on hand, and they are at least as beneficial as fresh, if not more so, because the drying process actually concentrates the polyphenols and flavors. When buying dried herbs, get them in small quantities that you can use up in less than a year, because their flavor fades with time. And

keep in mind that, as a rule, if a recipe calls for one tablespoon of a fresh chopped herb, you can generally substitute one teaspoon dried.

Astros rally to beat Mariners 7-5

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — At some point, presumably, the Seattle Mariners’ vaunted rotation is going to perform to expectations. Until then, it figures to be one wild ride after another.

Monday’s ride ended in a 7-5 loss to the Houston Astros when Luis Valbuena’s second homer of the night provided the winning

margin in a back-and-forth battle at Safeco Field.

Valbuena’s game-winner came in the eighth inning against reliever Danny Farquhar and broke a 5-5 tie. The Astros nicked Farquhar (0-2) for another run later in the inning.

And, no, the bullpen hasn’t performed to last season’s lockdown form in the season’s first two-plus weeks.

But the Mariners’ blueprint

shows scoring five runs for Hisashi Iwakuma should be good enough. And for his second

straight start ... it wasn’t.

The Mariners have now scored 31 runs in the six combined starts

by James Paxton and Iwakuma, their No. 2 and No. 3 starters, and have won just one of those games.

That came Sunday when, after Paxton yielded seven runs in 22⁄3 innings, the Mariners stormed back for a stirring 11-10 victory over Texas.

On Monday, the Mariners overcame three separate one-run

deficits behind Iwakuma and staked him to a 5-3 lead entering the sixth inning. Iwakuma and the bullpen couldn’t hold it.

And the Mariners are now 5-8.

Iwakuma labored through 51⁄3 innings before handing a 5-3 lead to Yoervis Medina with a runner on second base.

Seahawks begin workouts

Defensive end Michael Bennett reportedly is not attending voluntary program; Seattle re-signs veteran center Lemuel Jeanpierre.

Mill Creek’s Brent Lillibridge, a former major league baseball player, teaches at a clinic at the Snohomish Sports Institute earlier this month.

Love for the game

Brent Lillibridge, a Jackson High School graduate who played baseball at the University of Washington before playing all or parts of six major league seasons, is now teaching others how to play the game he loves.

By Rich Myhre

By the numbers Brent Lillibridge, a graduate of Jackson High School, spent parts of six seasons in the major leagues, playing for the Braves, White Sox, Red Sox, Indians, Cubs and Yankees.

Here are his career numbers: Games.....................................358 At-bats.....................................708 Runs.........................................102 Hits..........................................145 Average...................................205 RBI.............................................71 Doubles.....................................25 Triples..........................................4 Home Runs................................19

Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — From the first day he picked up a bat and ball, Brent Lillibridge played baseball with passion, determination and, above all, an unrelenting love for the game.

Now he wants to coach the same way.

Lillibridge is a 2002 graduate of Jackson High School who went on to play at the University of Washington and then for 10 professional seasons, including all or parts of six seasons in the major leagues. After retiring in the past offseason, he is transitioning to a life after baseball. Or as he said with a smile, “Civilian life.”

It is, said the 31-year-old Lillibridge, “crazy to think that I’m not going to (play again). And if you’d talked to me three years ago, I never would’ve imagined being done. But the last couple of years See LILLIBRIDGE, Page C6

GENE J. PUSKAR / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brent Lillibridge played every infield and outfield position during his career in the majors.

Most of the Seattle Seahawks returned to team headquarters Monday to begin a voluntary phase one of their offseason workout program. It was their first time together in Renton since packing up to leave Feb. 3, two days following the Super Bowl.

And a familiar center was there.

The team re-signed Lemuel Jeanpierre on Monday. He’s been Max Unger’s backup the last five seasons.

With Unger gone to New Orleans in last month’s trade that brought star tight end Jimmy Graham to Seattle, Jeanpierre’s return after a month in free agency makes him a candidate to be the Seahawks’ new center.

Jeanpierre started three games there last season, his fifth in the NFL with Seattle, so he knows line coach Tom Cable’s system.

Jeanpierre left the team last summer following an injury settlement for a neck issue. Seattle re-signed him in mid-November, and he became one of four centers to start for the Seahawks in 2014. But by season’s end Cable was playing recently acquired Patrick Lewis over him in Unger’s absence. So Lewis appears to be the incumbent with the inside track to Unger’s job for 2015, though it would be a surprise if Seattle didn’t select a center in the draft April 30-May 2.

The sessions that started Monday are officially voluntary workouts. The league’s collective bargaining agreement mandates they can include only strengthand-conditioning workouts and physical rehabilitation.

So there’s not much reason to get riled up about Michael Bennett reportedly not attending. The defensive end signed a four-year, $28.5 million contract with $16 million guaranteed before last season. He isn’t totally happy with that deal now that the See SEAHAWKS, Page C4

Auburn forward Atewe transfers to UW

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — A stress fracture in Matthew Atewe’s left leg spoiled his first season at Auburn, where he played sparingly — and at less than full strength — as a true freshman in 2013-14.

And after undergoing offseason surgery to repair that fracture, Atewe injured it again during an exhibition game at the beginning of his sophomore year.

Turns out, that was the last time he put on an Auburn uniform. The second injury wiped out his entire 2014-15 season, and he decided when it was over to transfer to a different school in pursuit of a fresh start.

That school, he announced on Monday, will be Washington.

After a weekend visit to Seattle, Atewe, a 6-foot-9, 265-pound forward from just outside of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, used his Twitter page to declare his

commitment to the Huskies. UW later announced it had added Atewe to the program.

“It was great, man. I loved it,” Atewe said, reached by telephone, about his visit to UW. “Just the whole campus. I love that it’s near the water. I knew it was a big city, but I never knew that it was, like, just right. It wasn’t too big where you can get lost in the whole shuffle.

“The coaches, it was them and the players, as well. I just loved

the whole vibe that I got from everyone over there. That was really the deciding factor.”

Atewe has three years of eligibility remaining, but must sit out the 2015-16 season per NCAA transfer rules. Because of last year’s injury, UW will then eventually seek a waiver to grant Atewe a sixth year of eligibility, should he desire to return to UW at that point.

Warriors erase early deficit, beat Pelicans Associated Press OAKLAND — OAKLAND, Calif.

— Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr likes to say his team teeters on “explosive and careless” basketball, pulling off an astonishing play one moment and a perplexing one the next.

Kerr saw both sides of his team Monday night.

And the better half was just good enough to defend the home court.

Klay Thompson scored 26 points, Stephen Curry had 22 points and six assists and the Warriors regrouped from an early deficit to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 97-87 on Monday night and take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.

“We still get excited at times and do some crazy things. I kind of like the fact that we walk that line,” Kerr said. “It’s what makes us who we are.”

The top-seeded Warriors fell behind by 13 points in the first quarter after a strong start by Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon quieted an announced sellout crowd of 19,596 wearing golden yellow shirts. But a big burst before halftime pushed the Warriors ahead, and their defense did the rest in the closing moments to put away the pesky Pelicans.

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday night in New Orleans.

Davis had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Gordon scored 23 points for the Pelicans who played with more poise and passion against than they did in the series opener.

“We’re playing the best team in the league and we’re fighting tooth and nail,” Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. “Our guys are grouping up on the fly.”

In the end, the Warriors were just better when it mattered most.

Golden State turned up the NBA’s top-rated defense late, holding the Pelicans to just 35 points in the second half. New Orleans shot just 37.8 for the game.

Davis pulled the Pelicans within

JOSE SANCHEZ / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Golden State guard Stephen Curry (30) dribbles past New Orleans guard Norris Cole during the first half of Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Warriors erased an early deficit to beat the Pelicans 97-87.

one in the final minutes before Green and center Andrew Bogut — Golden State’s defensive stoppers — propelled the Warriors to another spurt. Thompson converted a running bank shot over Gordon to start a three-point play, and Bogut followed with a twohanded slam to give Golden State a 97-86 lead with 1:02 left.

The Warriors have won 20 straight games and 41 of 43 at home this season. Their last loss at Oracle Arena came against Chicago in overtime on Jan. 27.

New Orleans shook of all those marks — and all the pregame chatter — to nearly pull off a playoff surprise.

Williams riled up the Warriors’ vocal fan base before the morning shootaround, saying the decibel

level at Oracle Arena might not be legal. Williams later said he meant it more as a compliment and didn’t mean to suggest the Warriors were breaking any rules.

Fans seemed to pounce on Williams’ words. Chants of “Warri-ors!” drowned out the Pelicans during pregame introductions, but they figured out a way to control the crowd: get off to a fast start.

New Orleans made five of its first six shots and got big contributions from Gordon and Davis to go ahead 28-17 after the first quarter. Reserve guard Leandro Barbosa (12 points) brought the Warriors back in the second quarter, though Pelicans reserve Norris Cole countered with some big shots of his own.

Of course, the Pelicans struggled to corral Curry and Thompson in

the key moments. They helped the Warriors outscore New Orleans 38-24 in the second quarter, with Curry capping the run with a deep 3-pointer to give Golden State a 55-52 halftime lead.

Bulls 91, Bucks 82 CHICAGO — Jimmy Butler set a playoff career-high for the second straight game with 31 points to lead Chicago past Milwaukee in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Bulls lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

After scoring 25 points in Game 1, Butler was at his best down the stretch, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Chicago’s Derrick Rose scored all of his 15 points in the second half after dominating in the series opener.

Pau Gasol added 11 points and 16 rebounds and Mike Dunleavy Jr. scored 12 points for the third-seeded Bulls.

Game 3 is Thursday at Milwaukee.

Raptors’ Williams named NBA Sixth Man of the Year Associated Press NEW YORK — Toronto Raptors guard Lou Williams has won the NBA’s Sixth Man Award.

He was honored as the league’s best reserve Monday after averaging a career-high 15.5 points in his 10th season and helping Toronto win a franchise-record 49 games.

Williams received 78 first-place votes and 502 total points from a panel of 130 sports writers and broadcasters throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics finished second with 324 points (33 first-place votes). Twotime winner Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers was third with 131 points (eight firstplace votes).

Williams came off the bench in all 80 of his appearances and

averaged 25.2 minutes. He led or tied for the team lead in scoring 18 times, second most in the league for a reserve. The Raptors went 14-4 in those games. He also led the Raptors in free throw percentage (86.1) and made a career-high 152 3-pointers.

Pelicans coach questions Warriors’ arena noise

they’ve got some of the best fans in the league here, and they show up early. The music before the game, they’re playing old school music, and it’s right above your locker room.

And you’re like, ‘These people are crazy, man. This is pretty cool.’ So I’m sure it has an effect, but after a few minutes it’s just basketball.”

Saunders remains T-wolves coach

SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle Arena, the rollicking home of the Golden State Warriors, has been considered one of the NBA’s loudest arenas for a long time. New Orleans Pelicans coach Monty Williams believes it might too loud.

“I’m not so sure that the decibel level is legal there, and I’m serious,” Williams said before Game 2 on Monday. “They’ve done studies on that.

Hawks battling injuries ATLANTA — Hawks center Al Horford is not sure if he’ll be able to play in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series against Brooklyn because of a dislocated finger.

Horford injured his right pinky while going for a rebound in Atlanta’s Game 1 win Sunday. He was able to return to the court with his finger taped, but says “there’s still some question” about his status for Wednesday.

Horford received treatment Monday and hopes that a three-day layoff between games will allow him to play.

Also, Paul Millsap got in some extra shooting during the off day after making only 2 of 11 in the opener. Millsap is still recovering from a sprained shoulder but says he may stop wearing a protective shirt under his jersey, hoping that will improve his touch.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Jason Shevenko Mountlake Terrace | Baseball Shevenko pitched a complete game four-hitter on Friday to lead the Hawks to a 3-1 win over Shorewood. It was the Thunderbirds’ first loss of the season.

Allison Endreson Jackson | Softball Endreson made two stellar plays in the outfield in Friday’s 3-1 win over Monroe.

She ran down a ball in deep center field to lead off the Monroe fifth inning that would have gone for extra bases and she made another running catch in right-center field in the seventh inning, quickly firing the ball back to first base to double up a Monroe baserunner. Both plays helped preserve a win for Jackson.

Brett Bustad Lakewood | Boys Track The Lakewood senior won the long jump title with a leap of 22 feet, 3 inches at last weekend’s Eason Invitational and ran third for the Cougars in their winning 4 x 100 relay team to help Lakewood to a third-place team finish at the prestigious event.

No secret to their success The Shorewood Thunderbirds’ winning formula is simple: pitching and defense

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

One of the keys to being a championship-caliber team — in any sport — is not just winning games, but understanding how those games are won.

That’s how a team establishes its identity.

Finding an identity has not been difficult for the Shorewood baseball team.

And head coach Wyatt Tonkin and his players aren’t shy about sharing their formula — the Thunderbirds’ 9-1 conference record and 11-1 overall mark are products of great pitching and great defense.

Shorewood’s opponents are well aware of the T-birds’ strengths, but that hasn’t stopped Shorewood from becoming one of the top Class 3A baseball teams in the state.

Leading the way is senior lefthanded pitcher Ian Oxnevad.

Oxnevad is committed to Oregon State University, but could be an early-round selection in the Major League Baseball draft in June, Tonkin said.

Oxnevad is 5-0 this season with a 0.24 earned run average.

He has allowed just seven hits, walked seven batters and struck out 44 in his five starts. He didn’t allow his first run of the season until the sixth inning of his most recent start, against Mountlake Terrace — a game in which he had a no-hitter through five innings.

It’s not hard to figure out why MLB teams are interested. A 6-foot-4, 200-pound lefty with control who throws in the low 90s is bound to attract a few radar guns. There were roughly a dozen scouts at Oxnevad’s most recent start, something he tries to ignore.

“It’s overwhelming to look up there and very humbling also,” he said. “I try to not notice them, but it’s pretty hard not to notice those guys up there. I try to stay in the zone as much as possible.”

So far, staying in the zone hasn’t been a problem, something Tonkin credits to

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Shorewood senior pitcher Ian Oxnevad has committed to play next season at Oregon State University.

Oxnevad’s maturity.

“He’s older and he’s going about it like a professional,” Tonkin said. “Things that he can’t control, he’s realized, ‘I can’t control these. I’m just going to pitch and do the best I can.’

The results are pretty good.”

Mountlake Terrace head coach Andrew Watters has faced Oxnevad over the past several seasons and said it takes a nearperfect approach in order to have success.

“He’s really tough,” Watters said. “You’ve got to take advantage of your situations and you’ve got to get a pitch to hit against him, which is really tough. He doesn’t throw many hittable pitches. You’ve got to be patient and you’ve got to have a good approach at the plate — and all nine of your guys have to do it.”

Entering their three-game series last week against Mountlake Terrace, the Thunderbirds had recorded shutouts in six of their first nine games. They had allowed just nine runs and 23 hits in those nine games, all victories.

“I’m kind of waiting for the other hat to drop and all of a sudden we have a seven- or eight-run inning,” Tonkin said.

“It will happen. It’s bound to happen sooner or later and

we’ve just got to play through it and pick it back up again.”

The Thunderbirds didn’t give up a seven- or eight-run inning, but the “other hat” finally dropped last week against Terrace. Oxnevad escaped with a 3-1 win over the Hawks on Tuesday and Shorewood won 3-2 on Wednesday before the Hawks handed the Thunderbirds their first defeat of the season with a 3-1 Wesco 3A South win on Friday.

The Thunderbirds will attempt to rebound from their first setback with this week’s three-game series against Meadowdale.

While Oxnevad gives the Thunderbirds an ace at the top of their rotation, other members of the pitching staff also have been consistently getting the job done. Shorewood’s No. 2 starter, senior left-hander Cole McKisson, could be one of the keys to a deep playoff run.

McKisson is 3-0 this season with a 1.33 ERA. He has allowed 15 hits, walked six batters and struck out 20.

“We’re working hard on his breaking ball and he’s shown tremendous improvement,” Tonkin said. “I told him at the beginning of the year, ‘You’re going to have to shoulder some of the load, so get another wheel barrow and haul that dirt if we’re going to go

legend and former Seattle Sounder Kasey Keller headlines this impressive class. A Lacey, Wash., native, Keller attended North Thurston High School and enjoyed an illustrious career as a Ram.

Ben Gardner Snohomish | Boys Golf Gardner hit a 1-under 55 to earn co-medalist honors and lead Snohomish to a team victory in a match against Jackson, Mount Vernon and Mariner.

Kailee Mydske Snohomish | Girls Golf Mydske hit a hole-in-one on the par-3 14th hole at Walter Hall in a Wesco 4A league match last Wednesday. Mydske, who used a 7-iron for the ace, led the Panthers with a score of 71. Snohomish finished third in the eight-team match.

Sara Coppa & Taylor Monroe-Jones Meadowdale | Girls Tennis Coppa and Monroe-Jones went 2-0 last week and had a key victory in Meadowdale’s 4-3 victory over Shorecrest. The duo didn’t drop a set in the Mavericks’ second win of the week against Shorecrest, a 5-2 decision, on Friday.

Eric Koegler Kamiak | Boys Soccer The junior scored four goals for Kamiak in the Knights’ big 6-3 win over Mount Vernon in a game that featured two of the top three teams in the Wesco 4A standings. Koegler added another goal and an assist in Kamiak’s 2-0 win over Lake Stevens later in the week.

Justin Beretta Everett | Boys Lacrosse Beretta scored five goals and had three assists in a win over Blanchet on Tuesday. He had five more goals and an assist in a win over Lynden on Wednesday and had two more goals in a 14-6 loss to Mercer Island on Friday.

anywhere.’ He said, ‘OK, coach.

I’m with you.’ He’s really stepped up.”

Both Oxnevad and McKisson have thrown no-hitters this season.

Much of the pitching staff’s success can be credited to the defense behind them.

“If the ball is hit in the air, I know my outfielders are flying to the ball as fast as they can,” Oxnevad said. “I have lots of confidence in those guys that they are going to catch it. If the ball is hit on the ground, our entire infield has so much range and they can cover practically the entire infield. It gives me a lot of confidence that I can let them hit the ball and they are going to get out.”

The Thunderbirds have committed just 11 errors this season and just two players on the team have multiple errors. Tonkin said more than half of the team’s practices are dedicated to defensive execution.

“You’re not born a Ken Griffey, Jr. that’s going to Spider-Man balls off the wall, you’ve got work at it,” Tonkin said. “You’ve got to work on your jumps and getting to the ball. There’s times where I will stop practice and say, ‘We need to work harder at reading the ball of the bat here and pick up our defense.’ They take up the challenge and they work at it hard.”

With a .323 team batting average, the Thunderbirds aren’t bad on offense either.

But as the playoffs approach, it’s the one-two punch of Oxnevad and McKisson that likely will decide how far the Thunderbirds go.

“We’ve got to get (to the playoffs) first,” Tonkin said. “Nothing is given to us. I tell the guys, ‘Everyone is going to bring their best game against you. It’s just natural. So we need to bring ours.’

“Hopefully, if we can get there, that one-two punch is enough,” Aaron Lommers covers prep sports for The Herald. Follow him on Twitter at @aaronlommers and contact him at alommers@ heraldnet.com.

market continues to skyrocket past his year-old agreement.

Asked April 9 on Seattle’s KIRO 97.3 FM radio if he was content with his contact, the disruptive force that spent much of last season in opponents’ backfields said: “I can’t really say that. I mean, I don’t know anybody that’s happy with the amount of money that they’re making. But at this point I’m just trying to be

a good Seahawk.”

General manager John Schneider made it clear last summer with running back Marshawn Lynch that he won’t re-negotiate a contract that still has more than a year remaining on it. If he did, the GM explained a couple months ago, he’d have a line of guys almost constantly outside his office door wanting new deals.

What Schneider has shown a willingness to do is move existing contract money around and reload

ELISE AMENDOLA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boston Marathon winner Lelisa Desisa (left) of Ethiopia, and women’s division winner Caroline Rotich, of Kenya, pose with a trophy on Monday.

Desisa wins 2nd Boston Marathon Associated Press BOSTON — Lelisa Desisa won his first Boston Marathon in 2013.

He didn’t have much time to celebrate.

A few hours after Desisa broke the tape on Boylston Street on Patriots’ Day, two bombs near the finish line turned what should be the pinnacle of any distance runner’s career into an afterthought.

Desisa earned his second Boston Marathon title Monday, finishing in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 17 seconds to claim a golden olive wreath, the $150,000 first prize and a winner’s medal to replace the one he donated to the city two years ago in memory of the victims.

And this one he plans to

enjoy.

“This medal, I think, is for me,” Desisa said.

Kenya’s Carolina Rotich won the women’s race, beating Mare Dibaba in a shoulder-to-shoulder sprint down Boylston Street to win by 4 seconds as the world’s most prestigious marathon took a tentative step back toward normal.

Boston Athletic Association spokesman Jack Fleming interrupted the winner’s news conference to place the trophy on the table next to Desisa and 2014 winner Meb Keflezighi and thank them both for helping the race heal.

“In 2013, Lelisa had won and we were sitting in these same chairs. And then soon after, and unfortunately,

Lelisa did not get to have the kind of victory celebration that a champion of the Boston Marathon should have,” Fleming said. “Lelisa, we want you to get your due today.”

Desisa was in the leading pack for the entire race, pulling away to beat countryman Yemane Adhane Tsegay by 31 seconds in the first 1-2 finish for Ethiopia in the race’s history. Kenya’s Wilson Chebet was third, another 34 seconds back.

Dathan Ritzenhein of Rockford, Michigan, was the first American, in seventh. Keflezighi finished eighth a year after his victory — the first for an American man since 1983 — gave the city a tangible symbol of its comeback.

Peterson stays home from Vikings’ workouts Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings have started their spring strength and conditioning program.

Adrian Peterson, in one of the surest bets of the offseason, stayed away.

NFL teams such as the Vikings with returning head coaches were allowed to launch their supervised workouts at team headquarters on Monday, when a person with knowledge of Peterson’s plans confirmed to The Associated Press that the star running back did not attend.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Peterson’s absence was expected, of course, given his expressed disinterest in returning to the organization. Even in a normal year, Peterson’s presence during

He said he’ll finish the current semester at Auburn before moving on.

Atewe will account for UW’s 11th scholarship heading into next season.

The Huskies were, and are, in need of a few transfers to fill out their 13-scholarship allotment following the postseason transfers of Nigel Williams-Goss, Darin Johnson and Gilles Dierickx.

Atewe’s size should help provide depth (eventually) along a Huskies frontcourt that, in 2015-16, will feature 6-foot-10 fifthyear senior Jernard Jarreau; incoming 6-foot-10 juniorcollege transfer Malik Dime; incoming 6-foot-8 freshman Marquese Chriss; and incoming 6-foot-9 freshman Devenir Duruisseau.

All but Jarreau could return in 2016-17, when Atewe will be eligible to play.

Ideally, Atewe said, he’ll

the offseason in Minnesota has been rare.

He spent some time there last year to get acclimated to coach Mike Zimmer and his staff, but Peterson’s preference has long been to prepare for the season with his personal trainer at home in the Houston area.

Peterson’s contract includes a $250,000 workout bonus, but he doesn’t actually start collecting his $12.75 million salary until games start in September.

The 30-year-old missed all but one game last season because of the child abuse case involving his 4-year-old son that wound up in Texas court and the league’s disciplinary system.

giving the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner his first shot in the NFL since the Patriots cut him before the 2013 season.

The team announced the deal Monday but did not disclose financial terms.

Tebow hasn’t played in the NFL since 2012 with the New York Jets. He worked as a television analyst last year with the SEC Network and ESPN. The Eagles already have four other quarterbacks on their roster: Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne.

Wilson retires as a Cardinal

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles have signed quarterback Tim Tebow to a one-year contract,

TEMPE, Ariz. — Safety Adrian Wilson has signed a contract with Arizona so he can retire as a Cardinal.

Wilson spent 12 seasons with Arizona after being a third-round pick in the 2001 NFL draft. He was a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro with the Cardinals.

A five-time captain at Arizona, Wilson is one of six players in NFL history to accumulate at least 25 sacks and 25 interceptions.

provide “toughness, being able to rebound, block shots. I can really, really run the floor. I’m pretty athletic when healthy. A lot of the stuff my freshman year, I wasn’t really able to show ... just a lot of toughness and being able to play hard and rebound and block shots.”

It was frustrating, he said, trying to play through the pain of a stress fracture as a freshman. He appeared in 24 games and averaged only 14.4 minutes, along with per-game averages of 1.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. The statistical highlight of that season came in a 64-56 loss to eventual national runner-up Kentucky, a game in which Atewe played a careerhigh 29 minutes, grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds, and tied career highs with six points and four blocks.

When Auburn fired coach Tony Barbee after the 2013-14 season and hired Bruce Pearl, Atewe said “I felt like I had to rush” back in order to prove he could play.

He ended up reinjuring his left leg, though he said doctors told him the fracture opened in a way that allowed improved blood flow and an easier healing process. He doesn’t feel any pain in the leg, he said, but he’s still building toward 100 percent.

Atewe said he’s grown an inch and gained 35 pounds since his freshman season, when he was listed

by Auburn at 6-8 and 230 pounds.

“I felt like my freshman year, there were a lot of people on the outside looking in kind of trying to figure out what was going on, because in high school I was a pretty dominant player,” said Atewe, who starred at Notre Dame Prep in Massachusetts and played for the Canadian Junior National Team. “They didn’t really know what was going on.

It was only me and a few other people. So it’s kind of good that I’m finally able to pick up and really work on my game, and get back to being the normal me.”

“No, I don’t see that,” McClendon said AL LOGOS 0322913: 2013 American in his pre-game newsMLB briefing, “and I’m League team logos; stand-alone; various not going to talk about Paxton.

I don’t sizes; staff; ETA 3 p.m. want to hear anything about mechanics.

That’s over with.”

Paxton suggested he became “too rotational” in his delivery after giving up seven runs and nine hits in 2 2⁄3 innings Sunday against Texas.

McClendon responded with a simple message to Paxton in an early-afternoon meeting: Stop worrying about mechanics and pitch.

The Mariners staked Paxton to a 2-0 lead Sunday in the first inning against Texas, but he gave it all back and more in failing to survive a seven-run third inning.

The Mariners rallied for an 11-10 victory.

Paxton had an early 4-0 lead in his previous start against the Dodgers, but the margin was down to one run when he exited in the seventh, and the Mariners eventually lost 6-5 in 10 innings.

Lineup shuffle Seth Smith batted sixth for the second time in three games Monday after batting second in his first five starts.

“I’m just playing with it and trying to see what works better,” McClendon said.

“I kind of like him down there (in the order). I like that experience down there.”

The shift meant left fielder Dustin Ackley batted second for the second time in three games. McClendon has often expressed his view that Ackley fits better toward the bottom of the lineup.

“I’m not sure if that’s what we’re going to do long-term,” McClendon said.

“For right now, I like it.”

Minor details Nobody is off to a hotter start within the Mariners’ minor-league system than Hi-A Bakersfield catcher Tyler Marlette, who is 13-for-28 through his first eight games.

Marlette also has two homers and seven RBI in compiling a .714 slugging percentage prior to Monday’s games.

• Infielder Ketel Marte is batting .304 (14-for-46) though 11 games at Triple-A Tacoma.

• Outfielder Alex Jackson is 4-for-35 (.114) through nine games at Lo-A Clinton; while infielder D.J. Peterson is 5-for-33 (.152) in nine games at DoubleA Jackson.

Looking back It was three years ago Tuesday — April 21, 2012 — that the Mariners failed to get a baserunner in 4-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Safeco Field.

Journeyman Philip Humber needed just 96 pitches to throw the 21st perfect game in major-league history.

He ended the game with his ninth strikeout by retiring Brendan Ryan on a check-swing.

Short hops Reliever Tom Wilhelmsen isn’t expected to begin throwing for a few more days. He suffered a hyperextended elbow on April 11 and was placed on the disabled list. ... The Mariners, prior to Monday, didn’t have a grand slam in their last 115 plate appearances with the bases loaded. Their last slam was by Brad Miller on Sept. 28, 2013 vs. Oakland at Safeco Field. ... Robinson Cano entered Monday’s game with 11 hits in his last 25 at-bats, which raised his average from .120 to .280.

On tap The Mariners and Astros continue their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. Tuesday at Safeco Field. Right-hander Taijuan Walker (0-2, 17.18) will face Houston righthander Collin McHugh (2-0, 1.54).

Cruz is Player of the Week The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Boomstick is, well, booming.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Nelson Cruz was picked Monday as the American League’s Player of the Week for the period that ended Sunday after hitting six homers and driving in 10 runs in six games.

Cruz had two homers and five RBI in Sunday’s 11-10 comeback victory over Texas at Safeco Field, including a walkoff RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning.

“That at-bat (Sunday) to win the ballgame,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “you saw a very calm guy at the plate. He really slowed things down and did quite a good job of winning that ballgame.”

This marks the fourth time

in Cruz’s career that he was picked as the AL’s player of the week. He initially won the award in 2010 while playing for Texas and won it twice last season while playing for Baltimore.

“When you’re feeling good,” Cruz said, “you see the pitches well, and you can drive the ball to any part of the field. Especially when I’m driving the ball the other way, that’s when I’m feeling (my best).”

Cruz will receive a watch from Game Time in recognition of the award. St. Louis third baseman Matt Carpenter was picked as the National League Player of the Week after going 12-for-25 with seven doubles.

The Mariners had players win the award three times in 2014.

Third baseman Kyle Seager was picked for the weeks ending April 27 and June 29, while pitcher Felix Hernandez won

for the week ending June 8.

Cruz was 12-for-24 overall in the six games while compiling a 1.806 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage). He also hit homers in the two games preceding the one-week award period and leads the majors with eight.

Five teams have fewer homers than Cruz going into Monday: Cleveland and Miami (seven), Philadelphia and St, Louis (six) and Milwaukee (three).

Cruz is the first player to hit eight homers in a club’s first 12 games since 2007, when exMariner Alex Rodriguez had eight in the New York Yankees’ first 12 games.

“He’s probably going to be player of the month,” McClendon said. “I think (anyone) would be hard-pressed to beat that. He’s been outstanding.”

through Gold Glove third baseman Kyle Seager for an error.

Jed Lowrie fouled off five 1-2 pitches before pulling an RBI single to right.

Tie game.

That meant a no-decision for Iwakuma, whose final line showed four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and no walks. His ERA through three starts is 6.61.

It remained 5-5 until Valbuena’s homer against Farquhar.

Astros lefty Tony Sipp, 1-0, pitched 11⁄3 scoreless innings in getting the victory. He stranded two inherited runners in the seventh before working a onetwo-three eighth.

Luke Gregerson pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his third save.

Houston built its three onerun leads for starter Asher Wojciechowski, but he let each one quickly slip away before exiting two batters into the fifth inning. He gave up four runs and eight hits.

The Mariners finished with 10 hits, including two doubles.

Their three-four-five heart of Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager had six hits, scored four runs and drove in three.

Not good enough.

The Astros struck early when Valbuena crushed an Iwakuma sinker (that didn’t) for a homer deep into the right-field stands with one out in the first inning.

Seth Smith opened the Mariners’ second with a double to left that led to the tying run.

Zeroing in While reliever Carson Smith permitted two inherited runners to score in Sunday’s victory over Texas, he continues to carry a 0.00 earned-run average for his career through 15 appearances.

That’s a club record.

The previous best of 13 was shared by Mark Lowe (2006) and Tim Davis (1994).

Lowe still owns the club record for consecutive scoreless innings at the start of a career with 17 2⁄3.

Smith entered Monday’s game at 14 innings.

Astros third baseman Luis Valbuena watches as the ball pops out of his glove after he lunged for a foul pop up hit by the Mariners’ Brad Miller in the fourth inning of Monday’s game.

on the track.

Mike Zunino struck out on three pitches, and Logan Morrison flied to center, but Brad Miller tied the game on a line single to center.

The tie didn’t last long Jake Marisnick started the Houston third with a double over Cruz’s head in right field and went to third on Jose Altuve’s sacrifice. Valbuena delivered the run, and collected his second RBI, with a sacrifice fly to deep center.

This time, the Mariners answered immediately.

Cano’s one-out drive hit the top of the center-field wall for a double. After moved to third on a wild pitch, Cruz tied the game with an RBI single to deep short.

The Astros took another onerun lead when Rasmus jumped another non-sinking Iwakuma sinker for a one-out homer in

the fifth inning.

Back came the Mariners after Wojciechowski started the bottom of the inning with a four-pitch walk to Cano — and then made an errant pickoff throw that moved Cano to second.

Cruz followed with a line double into the left-center gap, which tied the game and finished Wojciechowski.

In came lefty Joe Thatcher to face Seager, who sliced a single to left-center that scored Cruz.

The Mariners had their first lead at 4-3.

Seager stole second and moved to third on Smith’s grounder to the right side and scored when Zunino, ahead in count at 3-1, drove a sacrifice fly to left.

A two-run lead for Iwakuma and the bullpen entering the sixth inning. Not enough.

White Sox promote left-hander Rodon

By Jay Cohen Associated Press

CHICAGO — Carlos Rodon was watching funny YouTube videos with his girlfriend and another buddy when he got the call from the Chicago White Sox. The wait is over for one of baseball’s top pitching prospects.

Rodon was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, completing a steady climb from the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft to the majors.

The White Sox are hoping he can follow the same career path as ace Chris Sale, another tough left-hander who was a high selection in the draft and began his major league career in the bullpen before turning into one of baseball’s best starting pitchers.

“We are going to learn from our history of being able to do that with Chris and Mark Buehrle before him in terms of getting him to the rotation at some point in the not too distant future,” general manager Rick Hahn said.

“To answer that next question, there is no specific date. There is no date on anyone’s calendar when he’s going to be in the rotation. We just know ultimately he’s going to wind up there.”

Rodon, 22, looked good in spring training, but was sent down on April 1. Rodon, who played his college ball at North Carolina State, then went 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in two starts with the Knights before the White Sox decided it was time to join the big league club.

“It’s a dream come true,” he said.

Rodon’s promotion comes right on the heels of the first game for Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, who made his major league debut on Friday. Rodon and Bryant played together on Team USA, and the pitcher said he would prefer to stay “under the radar” compared to the hype surrounding the slugger’s arrival in the big leagues.

After Rodon got the call from assistant general manager Buddy Bell, he said the first call he made was to his parents.

“I called my mom and my dad answered, so he was the first person I told in my immediate family,” said Rodon. who watched Chicago rally for a 4-3 victory over Cleveland on Monday night. “He said, “Oh wow, that’s great.”

the game hasn’t necessarily gone my way.”

Since he made the decision to retire, Lillibridge added, “there hasn’t been a day yet when I’ve said, ‘Oh, man, I wish I was still playing.’”

Lillibridge, who played every infield and outfield position in his pro career, was chosen in the fourth round of the 2005 major league draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates following his junior season at Washington. After two minor league seasons he was traded to Atlanta, and in 2008 he reached the majors for the first time with the Braves.

He was traded to the Chicago White Sox a few months later and played the next three seasons there, while also spending part of two seasons in the minors. But midway through the 2012 season he was traded to the Boston Red Sox and a month later he was traded again, this time to the Cleveland Indians.

Lillibridge split the 2013 season between the Chicago Cubs, the New York Yankees and their minor league teams, and then spent last season in the minors with the Texas Rangers.

Still determined to play, “I was working out (over the winter), in great shape, ready to go,” he said.

But when no major league teams called with contract offers, “my wife and I talked about it and it was like, ‘Are we OK with staying home? Is it time to start doing something different with our lives?’ And the idea of being

home sounded pretty nice,” he said.

As he looks back on his career accomplishments, “it sometimes gives me chills,” Lillibridge admitted. “When I do think about it, I’m very proud of what God blessed me with. To be able to play the game of baseball at the highest level with the best players, and to not only compete but to be able to excel at times ... I’m just a little guy who maximized his ability, who became strong mentally, and who made it.”

In the last year, Lillibridge and his wife Stephanie bought a home near Mill Creek where they will live with sons Cohen, who is 3, and Bennett, 7 months.

He has also taken up coaching and mentoring, the former as a personal coach who works with young players individually and in groups, and the latter with

an organization called Base by Pros (founded by baseball player Mitch Canham of Lake Stevens) that offers instruction and guidance in baseball and life lessons.

Lillibridge, who is finishing his college degree in social science, says he already has “a PhD in baseball.” And he now wants to use that knowledge to help kids find the proper path to success.

“I want to mentor and work with kids, and to be individually invested with them,” he said.

“That’s my calling. That’s what I feel I’m led to do. And if a kid is passionate and loves baseball and loves life and wants to be great at something, then I want to help him. Because I know I can instruct them and help them maximize who they are.”

Coaching youngsters “is a lot of work and requires a lot of patience,” he went on, “but it’s also very rewarding. When you

speak with passion and if you know what you’re talking about and if you love it, the parents and the kids see it, and then they get excited, too.”

Now that he is finished playing, Lillibridge says he can go back to being a fan again. Particularly of the Seattle Mariners, just as he was as a boy growing up in Mill Creek.

“I always loved the Mariners (back then),” he said. “I watched a lot of games at the Kingdome and at Safeco Field as a kid, and I always loved coming to Seattle and playing at Safeco Field (as a player).”

In his youth, Lillibridge remembers watching Seattle players like Omar Vizquel, Alex Rodriguez and Ichiro Suzuki, “and it’s crazy, they’re all guys I got to play with (in the majors).”

But the greater love these days, Lillibridge said, is simply the game itself.

“I’m a fan of baseball and I don’t think that’s ever going to change,” he said. “And now that it’s not a job, I think I’m going to enjoy it even more. I’m looking forward to being a diehard fan, just like the rest of my family and friends.”
