Panel OKs timber harvest Some were concerned that logging 119 acres near Index could lead to more saturated ground and trigger a landslide.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — A state panel on Tuesday approved the logging of 119 acres on a hill near Index

after authorities insisted there is little risk it will trigger a deadly mudslide.

On a 5-0 vote, the Board of Natural Resources included the harvest on the list of timber sales to be

auctioned off next month with proceeds going to public schools, local taxing districts and Washington State University.

The “Deer Wrap” timber sale as it is known was approved in 2014 then put on hold by the state when an environmental group raised concerns about the harvest area’s proximity to what it calls a

potentially unstable slope.

On Tuesday, the Washington Forest Law Center of Seattle asked for another delay so further study can be done on whether removing trees through logging would lead to more saturated ground and cause the slope to slide.

Probe puts project on hold PUD’s board has decided to delay consideration of a $3.8M contract with 1Energy because of an investigation into the company’s owner.

Ruby the beagle clears an obstacle as her human handler, Gabi Loesch, 14, of Snohomish, coaches her along. The American Kennel Club has invited Loesch, of Snohomish, to be on the U.S team for the European Open Junior World Agility Championships in the Czech Republic. Gabi is one of the youngest handlers to make the cut, joining a team of six others ranging in age from 10 to 18. She’s been training Ruby for agility competition for six years, motivating the hound with “a lot of cheese.” See the full story on A3.

EVERETT — A new $3.8 million contract for a clean-energy project is on hold because of the ethics investigation at the Snohomish County Public Utility District.

The PUD’s commissioners decided over the weekend to remove from Tuesday’s meeting agenda a proposed contract between the district and 1Energy Systems, a clean-tech contractor.

“What we really want to do is wait until we have the investigation” report, said Commissioner Kathy Vaughn, the board’s president.

The PUD’s board of commissioners launched an investigation into contracts between Seattlebased 1Energy and the district following allegations by a PUD employee. He accused the PUD’s leaders of improperly steering no-bid contracts to the company, which was set up while its founder still worked for the PUD. 1Energy has been working to develop energy-storage technology for the district.

The commissioners have no questions about the contract but don’t want to vote on it until after the investigator delivers findings, Vaughn said.

Energy storage means adding huge batteries to the power grid, which should allow a utility to more efficiently See PROBE, Page A2

Businessman was a master at forcing big change MARYSVILLE — Few people around here knew the story behind Charles “Chuck” Hamel, who died in a Marysville nursing home bed one morning last month while listening to music through his headphones.

Old age — a heart attack, aching joints and other maladies — had caught up Charles Hamel with him, but he still wanted to know about the issues of the day.

Most distant galaxy yet measured The Washington Post An exceptionally bright galaxy called EGS-zs8-1 is now the most remote object to have its precise distance from Earth measured. According to a paper published Tuesday in Astrophysical Journal Letters, the galaxy is so distant that we see it as it was 13 billion years ago, pushing the boundaries of our view of the early universe.

“While we saw the galaxy as it was 13 billion years ago, it had already built more than 15

percent of the mass of our own Milky Way today,” lead study author Pascal Oesch of Yale University said in a statement.

“But it had only 670 million years to do so. The universe was still very young then.”

Based on the new measurements, Oesch and his colleagues report, the galaxy was producing new stars at a rate 80 times faster than our own galaxy does today.

This adds to growing evidence that young galaxies in the early days of the universe were vigorous star-forming machines, and

that they probably behaved a bit differently from the galaxies we can observe near by.

These measurements come from the MOSFIRE, or MultiObject Spectrograph for Infrared Exploration, instrument on the Keck I telescope at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. When NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is launched in 2018, the researchers say, they expect it to allow them to observe EGS-zs8-1 — and even more distant galaxies — in better detail.

The man “was able to extinguish most of the fire before the fire department arrived and felt it was unnecessary for them to even be there,” he added.

The fire was contained to the kitchen table, and authorities say the incident didn’t appear to be criminal.

MAYWOOD, N.J. — A northern New Jersey man lit his kitchen table on fire by trying to ignite a birthday cake that included lighter fluid and gasoline as ingredients.

with 1Energy, worth about $3.8 million, was for a lithium-ion battery made by Tesla Motors, best known for its highend electric cars. “Initial plans were to bring it online by mid-2016,” said Neil Neroutsos, a spokesman for the PUD. Like all other contracts with 1Energy, it was not put out for bid.

1Energy has designed control software and

managed the projects.

The company won its first contract with the PUD in 2011, only a few weeks after its owner, Dave Kaplan, resigned from the PUD. An email from earlier that year indicates that he and his supervisors negotiated most of the contract while Kaplan was still working for the district.

He was part of the district’s executive team and reported directly to PUD CEO and General Manager Steve Klein.

Klein retired last

Thursday. He announced his planned retirement in February, before the allegations came out.

Since Seattle-based 1Energy got its first contract with the PUD, it has won work worth about $16 million. Some of that money has gone to subcontractors, including battery manufacturers.

Last summer, the state gave the district $7.3 million in clean-tech grants to help pay for the projects.

The district brought its first huge lithium-ion

battery online in January.

A second lithium-ion battery should start operating next month. Another type of battery is to be installed later this year.

The PUD has said the lack of competition for contracts with 1Energy is justified by the fact that grid energy storage is a young field and there are few companies with adequate qualifications.

Walkouts planned in 3 districts

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

Teachers in two Snohomish County school districts voted Monday to join the wave of Washington educators walking off the job during one-day strikes aimed at swaying the Legislature.

Educators from Lake Stevens and Snohomish are joining those in Granite Falls with protests scheduled for Friday.

Teachers are unhappy with the amount of money for smaller K-12 class sizes and educator pay in proposed state budgets.

Across Washington, teachers in

29 school districts have decided to strike over school funding.

Union leaders are quick to point out that they are unhappy about state lawmakers, not district or local officials.

Teachers would prefer to demonstrate in Olympia, said Justin Fox-Bailey, president

of the Snohomish Education Association.

“But, shamefully, they aren’t there,” he said of lawmakers.

Many legislators are away while budget negotiations are under way. “Ultimately, teachers who See WALKOUT, Page A4

“They don’t hear those words,” said Beverly Nyberg, who teaches English and the AVID collegereadiness program at Everett’s Cascade High School.

When a family has no experience with college, a student’s determination may not be enough to get them there.

Through AVID — Advancement Via Individual Determination — Nyberg said students “have somebody to give them a boost.”

The curriculum includes strengthening academic skills, but also extras that are a given for more affluent families. Campus visits, help with college applications, even basic supplies are available to AVID students.

Gabi Loesch’s beagle, Ruby, runs through an agility drill in Snohomish on Sunday. Loesch and her dog are on Team USA and will compete in the European Open Junior World Agility Championships in the Czech Republic in July.

On the run with Ruby Gabi Loesch, 14, is taking her beagle to the world agility championships

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Gabi Loesch, 14, is on a path to becoming a top dog handler. The American Kennel Club has invited Loesch, of Snohomish, to join the U.S. team for the European Open Junior World Agility Championships in the Czech Republic.

She is to travel to the central European nation to compete with her 6-year-old beagle, Ruby, in July.

Gabi is among seven junior dog handlers from across the country to be selected for the international contest. Her

teammates range in age from 10 to 18.

When she was 8, Gabi got Ruby as a puppy from Sheri Berndt-Smith, a Snohomish breeder who won an award with her beagle, JJ, at the 2015 Westminster dog show. BerndtSmith said she was impressed that Gabi made the U.S. team, especially since she is one of the youngest handlers to make the cut.

“It’s a pretty big deal,” Berndt-Smith said. “For her to be recognized on a national level is just phenomenal.”

Gabi has been training her hound for agility competition

the past six years. She runs with Ruby on jumping and obstacle courses, baiting the beagle with cheese. At first, the sport didn’t come easily to Ruby.

“It was more like chasing her around the ring,” Gabi said.

But the pair kept practicing, jumping through tires, running over teeters and clearing hurdles. Gabi worked with professional trainers in Monroe and Mount Vernon to learn how to better handle her hound.

She and Ruby have achieved a master title, one of the highest ranks in dog showing.

“I worked really hard to get her where she is and I used a

lot of cheese,” Gabi said, noting Ruby favors string cheese but doesn’t turn her nose up at any kind of treat.

Now Gabi has her sights set on earning a championship title with her beagle. The Centennial Middle School eighth-grader is squeezing time to train Ruby into her busy schedule, full of homework, science projects and track and soccer practices.

Because there aren’t very many kids involved dog showing in the Northwest, Gabi has gotten used to competing mostly

SEATTLE — Lawmakers say the Legislature made significant improvements during the 2015 session to provide services for Washington’s mentally ill, but critics say some of the bills passed in an effort to fix a system sharply criticized by the courts could make matters worse and

lead to more litigation.

“I’m in my fifth year at the Legislature and this is the first time we invested money into the mental health system,” said Rep. Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma. “Right now we’ve slated around $100 million. That’s probably the biggest investment in mental health we’ve ever made.”

The 550-member Snohomish teacher union was still working out the details for its strike. Educators will likely be waving signs and holding a rally in the afternoon at Ferguson Park, Fox-Bailey said. They plan to collect supplies for local groups that benefit students, such as the Snohomish Boys & Girls Club, the food bank and the bus that delivers books to neighborhoods during the summer.

In Lake Stevens, the union of about 430 teachers planned for them to meet at 7:30 a.m. Friday at the Frontier Village Shopping Center. Teachers are to collect food for the food bank and waive signs along busy intersections before a rally at 10:30 a.m.

On Saturday, the public can help support aspiring students at the first-ever AVID HighFive Walkathon.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Everett, the fundraiser is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. on the track at Cascade High School.

Shayne Kraemer, development director of the KSER Foundation, is a Rotary member and walkathon organizer. Saturday’s goal is at least $10,000, with participants raising $25 or more in pledges, he said.

But anyone is welcome to walk, donating any amount.

Students in AVID classes at Cascade and Everett High School have worked to sign up walkers and gather pledges.

“I was a first-generation college student, ” the 44-year-old Kraemer said.

Raised in Tumwater, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from the University of Washington.

Beyond college costs, he sees other barriers keeping some students from continuing their education.

“There’s a perception, almost internalized, that they aren’t capable,” Kraemer said. In some immigrant families, he said, students find it difficult to leave because they are interpreters for parents, or they provide other support.

The Everett Rotary has helped AVID for years, financially and by providing mentors and classroom speakers. Ed Petersen, an Everett Rotary leader and CEO of Housing Hope, said the club calls its support of AVID the “Next Generation Project”. “This is the third

Walkathon set for Saturday The AVID HighFive Walkathon, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Everett, is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. Saturday at the Cascade High School track, 801 E. Casino Road, Everett.

The club leverages other money for the project, including help from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Rotary support pays for campus visits, summer school, and fees for college credits in high school. And AVID students are gaining experience through the walkathon and speaking at Rotary meetings, Petersen said.

Garrett Jones, a 17-yearold junior at Cascade, has been in Jodi Worthington’s AVID class at Cascade since freshman year.

He hopes to attend UW Bothell. Before starting high school, he said he was “utterly confused” by the college application process. “AVID helped me feel a lot more comfortable, more prepared,” he said.

Jeanne Willard, the Everett School District’s director of on-time graduation, said about 400 students in the district’s high schools are in AVID, and 120 of its middle school students. Willard said AVID helps kids who would be the first in their families to attend college, and also those “kind of in the middle” academically.

On Thursday, the Everett Rotary is also helping 10 college-bound AVID students with its annual shopping spree. They will

have $500 each to spend at the Fred Meyer store near Mill Creek.

Dr. Amy Norman, an Everett dentist and Rotary member, is heading this year’s shopping event.

Each student, with a parent and one Rotary member, will have two hours to spend $500. The kids will outfit dorm rooms, or even buy computers.

Norman said the shopping scholarships deliver a strong message: “I see potential in you, and you are worth my time and investment. I expect great things from you.”

Erin Acheson, who teaches AVID at Cascade, said that on Nov. 14 students visited more than a half-dozen campuses.

Nyberg and Trish Roberts, Cascade’s career specialist, led the four-day trip, which included Washington State University, Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga University, the University of Idaho, Eastern Oregon State University and other campuses.

“We couldn’t do it without Rotary,” Acheson said.

“Seeing themselves on a college campus is really important. It’s not just a place they see in the movies. It’s an actual place, with kids who look like them.”

there are now nearly 50 auto shops across the U.S. and Canada taking part.

Participating shops usually get hold of a car that is usable but needs work, either as a donation or bought cheaply, Vicki Doherty said. The shop fixes it up and gives it away to someone who can use it most and pay that generosity forward into their community.

The deadline is Sunday, July 12. away a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback that was donated by one of their regular customers.

“It’s one that we’ve been repairing throughout the years,” Doherty said.

“We had to make sure its transmission was OK, and the head gasket and I think the clutch,” she said.

The Dohertys are seeking nominations from the wider community of potential recipients.

Those not chosen last year will be reconsidered

for this year’s giveaway, but the Dohertys still want to expand the pool.

“We just haven’t had a lot (of nominations) this year so we just want to make sure we’re not missing out on anybody,” Doherty said.

They plan to give the car away July 25 at their annual customer appreciation barbecue.

Dog showing has taught Gabi important life lessons beyond the competitions. She’s learned responsibility and perseverance.

“I have to keep working,” she said. “If I give up, it won’t work.”

Loesch recently got her younger daughter, Meg, 10, a cocker spaniel so she could train and show her dog, too.

“Over here, there’s not that many kids involved, but over there, they’ve been doing it for generations,” said Gabi’s mother, Kim Loesch. “It’s like soccer over here versus soccer over there.”

Gabi Loesch sits with her beagle, Ruby, on Sunday. Gabi’s mom, Kim Loesch, said her daughter is looking forward to the competing with handlers her own age in Europe. “Over here, there’s not that many kids involved, but over there, they’ve been doing it for generations,” she said.

Natural Resources received the go-ahead Tuesday to transfer 2,445 acres of school trust land to the Morning Star Natural Resources Conservation Area.

Much of the roadless site is covered with trees more than 160 years old and ranges from an elevation of 1,000 to 4,000 feet.

With its steep slopes, difficult terrain and high value as wildlife habitat, the site was considered unsuitable for producing long-term revenue for the school construction trust.

The Board of Natural Resources authorized the transfer to the conservation area, adding to an existing 33,000 acres. In return, the state’s school-construction account will receive $5.1 million. The funds reflect the value of standing timber on the land.

The state program that oversees the management of DNR timberlands also will provide $599,000 — equivalent to the transferred land’s value — to buy replacement acreage for the trust.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Judge asked to send elephants to sanctuary

ADVERTISEMENT

As crews battled the blaze, live ammunition popped loudly inside the garage. No injuries were reported.

SEATTLE — The Elephant Justice Project has gone back to court to try to stop two former Woodland Park Zoo elephants from being sent to the Oklahoma City Zoo. Following several state and federal legal battles, elephants Chai and Bamboo started their trip to Oklahoma on April 15, but were taken to San Diego instead due to bad weather. The group is asking a federal judge for an injunction that would keep them in Southern California. They want the judge to issue an order that would keep the elephants at the San Diego Zoo until they can be moved to a PAWS sanctuary just a few hours north. The group said the PAWS sanctuary agreed to provide lifetime care for the elephants in a wooded habitat and elephant-friendly climate. The judge has not taken any action on the request.

Olympia: 4-day razor clam dig

Man who recruited teens for bank robberies sentenced

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to revoke the ownership of Lake Quinault from the Quinault Indian Nation. North Quinault Properties LLC had filed the lawsuit in federal court in January. It questioned the tribe’s ownership of the lake. The private company included the Washington Department of Natural Resources in the claim, arguing it had failed to fulfill its management responsibilities. But Monday, U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton dismissed the claim against the state and the tribe. His order said the state is immune from the suit. It also said the complaint against the Quinault Indian Nation is barred because they have tribal sovereign immunity.

Quinault Nation President Fawn Sharp praised the judge’s ruling. She said Lake Quinault is undisputedly within the reservation and is sacred to the tribe.

A man who recruited teenagers to participate in Washington state bank robberies has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Federal prosecutors in Seattle said Robert Cal Adams III, 31, was involved in more than a dozen bank robberies. Some he conducted on his own, and for others he recruited juveniles and trained them to rob tellers using notes.

U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes said in a news release that his willingness to involve young people made his offense “particularly despicable.” Adams pleaded guilty to one conspiracy count and 10 robbery counts in connection with bank robberies in Covington, Tacoma, Auburn, Spokane and elsewhere in March and April 2014.

He was arrested when investigators found him at a nearby motel after he hit a US Bank in Des Moines.

Mercer Island: Ammunition goes off during fire at home An early morning fire has damaged a sprawling Mercer Island home. KOMO-TV reported that the blaze started as a garage fire that spread to the interior of the residence thanks to live ammunition inside the garage. Firefighters responded to the blaze at SE 59th Street before 6 a.m. after receiving reports of fire and a large plume of smoke pouring from the house. When they arrived, they found flames spreading from the garage to the center of the house.

Officials have approved four days of razor clam digging on the several ocean beaches. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife gave its approval for the dig after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat. The digs begin Thursday on morning tides. Most digs were approved for beaches at Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks. Shellfish managers said no digging will be allowed after noon on any beach through Saturday, but officials are extending the dig Sunday to 1 p.m. Dan Ayres, the agency’s shellfish manager, said they’re giving diggers an extra hour Sunday because there’s a late low tide that day.

Tacoma: Lawsuit dismissed

Oregon: Section of Snake River open to salmon fishing The upper Snake River has been opened to salmon fishing, the first of several chinook fisheries expected to open this spring in northeast Oregon. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said the daily bag limit is four adipose fin-clipped spring chinook salmon, no more than two can be an adult salmon more than 24 inches long.

Only barbless hooks may be used. Jeff Yanke, a fish biologist based in Enterprise, said the agency is also planning for fisheries in Lookingglass Creek and the Wallowa and Imnaha rivers.

TV Talk Show Doctor's Shocking Revelation If you suffer bouts of acid reflux, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas or IBS; beware of digestion remedies like Prilosec®, Prevacid® and Nexium®... They Can Cripple You!

By Damian Wexler, Freelance Health Reporter ecently, medical professionals and alternative medicine experts have taken to the airways to reveal a simple secret that amazed millions who suffer with digestion nightmares. And people haven’t stopped talking about it since.

R

“I’d give anything to make it stop!”

That’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my Acid-Reflux. My wife suffers with digestion problems too.

If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

FDA Warns About Popular Antacids A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when AloeCure® was presented on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to find out they could finally get relief without having to rely on pharmaceutical proton pump inhibitors.

But now, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract everyday. It’s as simple as that!

Drug Companies Threatened by Natural Digestion Miracle Nationwide Relief...

Over 4-million bottles sold!

Seattle, WA: All across the country, those suffering with digestion issues are thrilled with the relief they get from a new, natural remedy called AloeCure®.

“More than ever, digestion sufferers are flocking to our remarkable product; especially since the FDA has come down so hard on popular antacids like Nexium®, Prilosec®, Prevacid® and other proton pump inhibitors.

Unlike drug company remedies, AloeCure® isn’t a drug. It’s something completely different.

AloeCure® not only squelches your digestion problems… It helps improve your digestion for longlasting relief.

You really have to try for yourself.

That’s why I’ve given the readers of this newspaper an opportunity to try AloeCure® absolutely risk-free.

(See bottom of article) -Doug Jewett, CEO American Global Health Group

Finally There’s Hope...

At first, the thought of drinking aloe vera might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who suffer with digestive problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach Indigestion Your stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the discomfort of Acid-Reflux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all heck breaks loose.”

Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic pain management explains... “The AloeCure® can work genuine miracles.

It buffers high acid levels with amazing

Doctor recommended AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health!

speed. So your stomach feels completely at ease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it could wipe out stomach discomfort and frantic runs to the bathroom.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done...

But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even people with chronic stomach indigestion can start to feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so with regular use intestinal distress stops coming back.

As Ralph Burns goes on to say, “I know AloeCure® never claimed to be a substitute for drug store products and is only meant to be a helpful supplement. Now though, AloeCure® is the only product I need for all my digestion issues”

Digestion Defender #1: Balances Stomach Acid Your first line of defense is calcium malate. This natural acid buffer instantly sends stomach acid levels plunging. And holds acid levels down so they are not likely to return!

Digestion Defender #2: Instant, Soothing Relief AloeCure® is brimming with polysaccharides, a “wonder” compound that gently coats the throat, esophagus and stomach, carrying instant relief to cells scorched by excess acid.

Here’s What Doctors Are Saying!

AloeCure® is backed by important scientific studies that confirm... aloe calms stomach acid and allows your body to heal itself.

Dr. Liza Leal, M.D & Chief Medical Officer at Meridian Medical. says, “That’s why I recommend it to patients who suffer from bouts of heartburn, Acid-Reflux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome...”

Dr. Santiago Rodriguez agrees. “Just two ounces of AloeCure® reduces the acids in your stomach by ten times.”

Francisco DeWeever, a Certified Nutritional Microscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Reflux and a host of other digestive problems have all but disappeared.”

After conducting an unpaid investigation about AloeCure® claims and success stories, pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health.

Safe And Easy To Use With no sugar, no stimulants, and zero calories, AloeCure® is safe, all-natural and has absolutely no side effects. It’s tasty, drug-free, and simple to use. Just drink two ounces, once in the morning, and once at night, and start enjoying immediate lifechanging relief!

The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free bonus gifts with your order— they’re yours to keep no matter what. That’s enough AloeCure® for 30 days of powerful digestive relief, absolutely free!

To order simply call our toll free hotline: 1-888-880-3627. But hurry! This is a special introductory offer, reserved for our readers only. Call now, supplies are limited!

Born May 21, 1936, in Everett, Washington, to Fred Brown Sr. and Vestal (Smith) Brown.

Fred was class president of Everett High School class of 1954. He got his teaching degree from University of Washington, where he ser ved on the Pep Squad and developed a lifetime passion for the UW Huskies.

A masterful educator, Fred taught typing and business in Centralia and Mercer Island school districts, and was then recruited by Vancouver, B.C., school district.

He thrived at Kitsilano Secondary School, forging lifelong friendships with his fellow teachers. They stayed connected with him until the end, enjoying his legendary Christmas parties, meeting for lunch often, and holding vigil at the hospital at the end of his life.

He pioneered the use of the IBM Selectric Typewriter for B.C. schools, replacing the manual typing class typewriters. Other provinces tapped into his knowledge to outfit their schools, and he traveled in Canada extensively during this time.

When IBM created the early computers, they used Fred to introduce them to Canad i a n te a c h e r s , a n d t r a i n them in how they worked.

His awesome teaching techniques combined with his computer knowledge result-

ed in him being honored as Teacher of the Year for all of British Columbia one year.

Fred always had a flair for the theatrical, and played a cameo role in the 1993 movie, Anything for Love, starring Corey Haim and his student Ryan Reynolds. At Kitsilano, he was a faculty department head and a sponsor of the Grad Council.

H e c h a p e ro n e d s t u d e n t groups to the World Cheerleader Council. Outside of work, he volunteered at the BC Blind Sports Association.

His after work hobby was being a disc jockey in the hopping clubs of Vancouver. He also was the DJ and spun LP’s for the high school disco dancing, and took over the school proms. He moved the location of the prom out of the school and into the Orpheum Theater.

H e a t t e n d e d t h e 2 01 2 Academy Awards as the honored guest of Academy member Gordon Ecker. It was one of the highlights of his life.

He had a passion for travel and organized friend and family cruises that became family reunions at sea in exotic locations. His family revered him as their Cruise Director, and renamed thems e l ve s t h e P i t t Fa m i l y to gently tease Fred: he started it by wearing a shir t that said I’m Brad Pitt. After that, they each became a Pitt, from Arm Pitt to Orchestra Pitt to Zazu Pitt.

Fred loved classic theaters, old movies, a joke, a card game, and gatherings of friends and families. He loved all music, and was especially fond of gospel and The Gaithers.

He is survived by his Uncle, Sam Dagastino; many cousins who celebrated every holiday with him: Fourth of July and Christmas with Kara and Ron and RJ Peebles; E a s te r s w i t h D e n n i s a n d Judy Roberson, and Jackie and Clinton Oakland; Christm a s E ve w i t h Un c l e S a m and Sue Dagastino, and Mary and Jim Olson, and the Robersons and Peebles; Hearts parties and road trips to O r e g o n w i t h M i ke a n d Diane Price and their kids; lifetime friend, Gordon Ecker and Gordy’s friends and family that became Fred’s California family; former student, Lane Cusack; his wife, E l l y, a n d t h e i r d a u g h te r, Faith, whom Fred considered to be his Vancouver family; and adopted grandson, Tristan, and Tristan’s dad, Eric Shuler.

Victims of stabbings are MSU-Northern students Associated Press HAVRE, Mont. — Three Montana State UniversityNorthern students were badly injured in a weekend stabbing at an off-campus apartment, Havre police said.

“They were all stabbed multiple times,” Acting Police Chief Gabe Matosich said. “It was a large, bloody scene.”

Sam Mix, 19, a Northern football player from Sammamish, was stabbed more than three dozen

times, Matosich said Tuesday. He was listed in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, KIRO-TV reported.

Taylor Woolman, 19, a Skylights volleyball player from Belgrade, was stabbed more than 20 times. She remained hospitalized in critical condition in Billings on Tuesday, the Belgrade News reported.

The third victim, Alicia Schneid, 20, was treated for about seven stab wounds and was released from a

Great Falls hospital. Matosich said.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of attempted deliberate homicide and aggravated burglary. Officers have not uncovered a motive.

“You can’t comprehend it. It just doesn’t make sense,” Matosich said, adding that the suspect did not know the victims.

Officers suspect drugs and alcohol may have been involved.

The boy suspected in the

stabbing is being held at the Cascade County juvenile detention center in Great Falls with bail set at $250,000.

Two days before the stabbings, a judge in Havre issued an arrest warrant for the suspect, who faces trial in July for rape and sexual assault. A week before the stabbings, he was cited for driving under the influence and without a license or insurance.

MSU-Northern officials issued a statement in support of the victims.

“The students involved were part of the Northern family and we will rally around them and their families to start the healing process,” the statement said. “We will do everything in our power to help these students recover and finish their education.”

The stabbing was reported about 4:30 a.m.

Saturday, about the same time another disturbance was reported. The suspect was found at the scene of the second disturbance with blood on his clothing

and shoes that matched prints found at and near the scene of the stabbing, Matosich said. One of the victims identified the suspect in a photo lineup.

The suspect told police he must have blacked out because he didn’t remember anything that happened after 2:30 a.m.

Saturday, court records said.

Police said they believe the suspect broke into the apartment through a back window. It did not appear anything was taken.

Jail inmate dies; 2nd death in 3 days Mental Associated Press SEATTLE — King County corrections officials say a 31-year-old inmate at the county jail in downtown Seattle died after having an apparent seizure.

Capt. Troy Bacon said Tuesday that jail and medical staff tried to help

the inmate late Monday afternoon. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 5 p.m.

Monday.

The Seattle man was not immediately identified. He was booked into jail Sunday after being arrested for investigation of theft

and violating the terms of his state Department of Corrections supervision.

The King County medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of death.

A 27-year-old King County jail inmate was found dead in his single-person cell Friday evening at the regional

justice center in Kent. The Burien man was booked into jail April 28. The cause of death is under investigation.

The Spokane County medical examiner’s office said a 46-year-old Spokane County Jail inmate found hanging by a sheet around his neck Monday died by suicide.

Idaho officer shot by man who stole patrol car dies; bail set at $2 million

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — A northern Idaho police officer shot by a man who stole his patrol car died of his injuries Tuesday evening, police said.

Sgt. Greg Moore died at 5:50 p.m. at Kootenai Health in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police spokeswoman Sgt. Christie Wood said in a statement.

Moore was shot about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after checking on a suspicious person in a neighborhood, Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said.

Police arrested a 26-yearold man after a car chase that reached speeds of 125 mph. The pursuit ended when a police dog dragged the man from his hiding place underneath a commercial truck.

Jonathan Renfro appeared in court Tuesday afternoon and was charged .... murder, with attempted theft of a police vehicle,

theft of an officer’s gun and being a felon with a gun.

Bail was set at $2 million.

He was held in the Kootenai County, Idaho, jail.

Moore, a 16-year veteran of the Coeur d’Alene department, called dispatch to get information on Renfro, White said. Not long after, a resident called police.

The resident “had heard a noise that sounded like a gunshot and they shortly after said that there was a body lying in the street,” White said at an early morning news conference.

“From the information I’ve received so far, it doesn’t look like an ambush-style attack,” the chief said. “This was just a bad guy doing bad guy stuff and our officers doing what they were trained to do — and that’s trying to keep our communities safe.”

Renfro has a long criminal record and was on probation.

After Moore was shot, an officer from nearby

Tue - Sat 10 am to 3 pm

— Lee White, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police chief

Post Falls, Idaho, who was listening to radio traffic about the shooting, saw a Coeur d’Alene police car race by about 90 mph, so he gave chase close to the Washington state line, with speeds reaching 125 mph, Post Falls Police Chief Scott Haug said.

The officer found the patrol car abandoned, and the Washington State Patrol and Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office helped set up a perimeter, Haug said.

A police dog found Renfro about two hours later hiding under a tractortrailer, wedged off the ground between the axle area and the truck, near a Wal-Mart in Post Falls, Haug said.

“He was engaged by the dog when he would not comply and taken into custody,” Haug said.

White said a motive for the shooting hasn’t been determined.

The Idaho State Police is the lead agency investigating the shooting, said Stu Miller, a spokesman for the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators are collecting evidence from multiple scenes, including dash cam video from Moore’s car, Miller said.

Miller did not know if the weapon used against Moore had been recovered.

Miller said the last report from the officer was a radio message that he was checking out a suspicious person in a Coeur d’Alene neighborhood. “There was no further contact from him,” Miller said.

Moore was married and had two children, officials said.

but we’re opposed to the way it was written,” he said Friday. “This could have been the signature mental health bill of the session, but instead it fell far short.”

The 2015 legislative session ended April 24 and lawmakers are back in a special session to settle budget differences. While they argue over how to fund the state’s education and transportation systems, they’ve agreed on funding for mental health programs. During the special session, they also will discuss several bills that aim to satisfy the recent court rulings.

Sen. Steve O’Ban, a Pierce County Republican, was one of several lawmakers who sponsored measures related to competency services and said the Legislature made significant changes.

“It’s pretty clear to me that there is bipartisan recognition that this has been an under-funded area,” he said. “It was a very productive session on the two basics of our mental health system — the involuntary treatment act and our forensic system.”

Lawmakers passed and the governor signed one O’Ban-sponsored bill that requires competency evaluations and treatment within 14 days of a judge’s order. However, Pechman’s injunction established a seven-day limit.

O’Ban said they’re still working on another bill that would allow competency evaluations to be conducted in jails to speed up the process.

“Jails are the logical place, but we may need additional staff,” he said, adding this would only be for the evaluations.

Mark Cooke, with the American Civil Liberties Union, said they won’t support any plan

that includes restoration services in jails. He’s concerned because the bill in question, Senate Bill 5177, includes a jail option.

Cooke said they’re also opposed to Senate Bill 5649, which lets the social services agency control the rulemaking for places that provide single-bed certifications for people held under the Involuntary Treatment Act. Cooke said the bill undermines the Supreme Court ruling.

“It essentially allows DSHS — the very agency that violated individuals’ constitutional rights for years — to determine what an adequate threshold is for certifying a bed,” he said.

The bill was sent to the governor on April 23, but hasn’t been signed.

Another bill awaiting the governor’s signature is House Bill 1450. It would allow people committed under the Involuntary Treatment Act to receive outpatient treatment.

Jinkins said the plan would allow earlier intervention and keep people from being sent to the hospital.

But De Flice with the civil commitment court said the bill is flawed in two areas.

The criteria to force someone into the outpatient treatment is unconstitutional, he said.

Rather than looking at the person’s current mental state, it focuses on past behavior, he said.

“I don’t believe this is a constitutionally adequate basis for involuntary ....even in an outtreatment, patient setting,” he said.

Another problem area in the bill, he said, was the standard used to prove someone qualifies for involuntary treatment.

He said lawmakers were told about these concerns, but they passed the bill anyway.

“I think it will lead to litigation,” he said.

Forest chief expects busy firefighting season

By Kevin Freking Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The head of the U.S. Forest Service warned Tuesday of an “above average” fire season that could cost the agency more than $1 billion and require shifting funds from programs designed to prevent wildfires.

Tom Tidwell testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resource

Committee that the fire season is 60 to 80 days longer than it was just 15 years ago, and he didn’t expect any falloff. “These are the fire seasons we’re going to continue to have,” he said.

California and several other Western states are battling severe drought, increasing the risk of wildfires.

Tidwell estimated that the agency’s cost of fighting wildfires this year would be

in the range of $800 million to $1.7 billion.

The Forest Service and the Department of Interior can transfer money from other programs once their fire suppressions accounts have been depleted. But Tidwell called that process self-defeating because it requires the agencies to delay work designed to limit the threat of wildfires.

Lawmakers agreed that changes are needed, but

they differ on key details that could make consensus difficult. There’s some bipartisan support for the administration’s efforts to make the biggest forest fires eligible for disaster funding. Two Republican members of the committee, Jeff Flake of Arizona and John Barrasso of Wyoming favor an approach that places more emphasis on forest management projects to prevent wildfires,

including a speedier environmental review process for those projects.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the committee’s chairman, said residents in her state are worried about the coming fire season. She said she visited Fairbanks recently and couldn’t remember another beginning of May with no snow on the ground.

The ranking Democrat on the committee, Sen.

Maria Cantwell of Washington, called for Tidwell to work with other agencies to improve communications services during a forest fire.

Last year’s Carlton Complex fire in her home state left many residents without power and the ability to communicate for weeks due to downed power lines. Police had to drive from town to town and use megaphones to spread word of the threat, she said.

Feds offer exit plan for Montana School may ban town’s delayed asbestos cleanup ‘Of Mice and Men’ Associated Press

By Matthew Brown

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Some Coeur d’Alene parents are taking on the American classics.

A curriculum review committee in the northern Idaho city has recommended that the district remove John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” from high school classrooms.

The school board will vote on the recommendation next month, reports the Spokesman-Review of Spokane.

“The story is neither a quality story nor a page turner,” said review board member and parent Mary Jo Finney.

Finney says the book is unsuitable for freshmen because it uses profanity like “bastard” and “God damn.” She counted 102 profanities in the novella’s 110 pages.

“The teachers actually had the audacity to have students read these profanities out loud in class,” said Finney, who has objected to other books in the Coeur d’Alene School District curriculum in the past.

“Of Mice and Men” is one of the most challenged books of the century, according to the American

is uncertain: Agency officials have never fully documented how many homes and businesses were left with vermiculite in their walls after cleanup work was completed.

EPA officials say the towns’ health risks have decreased considerably, with airborne asbestos concentrations now comparable to levels in other cities.

For that progress to last, enough money must be available in future years for local officials to provide the proper assistance to homeowners, contractors and others who might encounter vermiculite, said Noble, chairman of an EPA advisory group in Libby.

An EPA research panel concluded last year that breathing in even a tiny amount of asbestos from Libby can scar lungs and cause other health problems.

asbestos. They include zoning restrictions that outline which activities are allowed on contaminated property; permit requirements for the disturbance of contaminated soil or building materials; and advisories for firefighters and others who might inadvertently encounter asbestos on the job.

If Tuesday’s proposal moves forward following a two-month public comment period, the EPA could wrap most of its Libby work by the end of the decade, officials said.

For now, the Libby area remains in the EPA’s Superfund program.

Eventually the community likely will lose that status — and much of the federal funding that goes with it. At that point, oversight for the institutional controls will become the responsibility of local agencies and the state Department of Environmental Quality.

“We know they are going to work only if we can get the community to buy in,” the department’s Jeni Garcin-Flatow said.

Cause of I-5 crash: Dropped cellphone Associated Press SEATTLE — The Washington State Department of Transportation says three lanes of I-5 through downtown Seattle were closed for nearly an hour during Tuesday’s morning rush hour after a multi-vehicle crash that authorities said was caused by driver inattention.

long as nobody touches it.”

State regulators aired similar concerns in an April 2 letter to the EPA obtained

by The Associated Press.

Montana Department of Environmental Quality Division Administrator Jenny Chambers said it was unclear how the remaining contamination would be monitored or what would happen when “currently inaccessible waste becomes accessible.”

Vermiculite from the Grace mine was used as insulation in millions of houses across the U.S. In the Libby area, asbestos-tainted mine waste unwittingly was used as a garden-soil additive by residents and as fill for the local construction industry.

The government so far has spent $540 million removing more than a million cubic yards of dirt and contaminated building materials from more than 2,000 properties in Libby and Troy.

Just how much remains

BILLINGS, Mont.

— A long-delayed U.S. government cleanup plan for a Montana community where asbestos contamination has sickened thousands would leave the deadly material in the walls of houses, underground and elsewhere — stirring worries among residents and state officials about future exposures.

Tuesday’s proposal, for the neighboring mining towns of Libby and Troy, calls for asbestos-containing vermiculite to be left in place where the Environmental Protection Agency says it presents minimal risk and can be safely managed.

But some Libby residents said the asbestos inevitably will escape during future excavation work, home renovations and accidents such as fires.

It’s been more than 15 years since media reports revealed widespread illness caused by asbestos dust from a W.R. Grace and Co. vermiculite mine outside Libby, about 50 miles south of the Canada border. Health workers have estimated as many as 400 people have died and almost 3,000 have been sickened from exposure to the contamination.

“We’ve left a lot of this behind in these houses, and you always have the potential of people opening up that wall and running into it,” said Mike Noble, who worked for 21 years for Grace in Libby as an electrician and suffers from a lung disease caused by asbestos. “The EPA is unwilling to address that because the EPA is saying it’s safe as

“Nobody’s banning books or burning books,” said School Board Trustee Dave Eubanks, a nonvoting member of the committee.

“There was just too darn much cussing. It was on almost every single page of the novella.”

He thinks reclassifying “Of Mice and Men” as an optional book for freshmen is a reasonable compromise in a community where families are trying to raise their children “with traditional family values and traditional religious values.”

But others, like City Librarian Bette Ammon, said the words Steinbeck chose accurately portrayed how the characters of that time and place would have spoken to each other.

She said she’s disappointed that the school is considering removing the 1937 book about two migrant ranch hands struggling during the Great Depression.

The review board was also concerned with the book’s plot, which member Eugene Marano said is “too dark for ninth-graders.”

Doubts raised about I.S. claim

Extremist group says it’s behind attack on Texas cartoon contest

By Julie Watson and Ryan Van Velzer Associated Press

PHOENIX — The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Tuesday for the assault on a Texas cartoon contest that featured images of the Prophet Muhammad, marking the first time the terror group has taken credit for an attack in the United States.

But it was unclear whether the group actually directed Sunday’s shooting in the Dallas suburb of Garland or if the two gunmen were inspired by the group to act on their own before they were shot and killed.

IS has a history of claiming responsibility for attacks in which it played no operational role, counterterrorism experts said.

Federal officials identified the gunmen as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, both Americans who lived in Phoenix.

Federal authorities had been

scrutinizing Simpson’s social media presence recently but had no indication he was plotting an attack, said one federal official familiar with the investigation.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it’s too early to say whether the Islamic State group played a role in the attack. He said U.S. officials are working aggressively to counter efforts by terrorists to use social media to radicalize individuals in the United States.

IS recently urged those in the United States, Europe and Australia who cannot safely travel to fight in Syria and Iraq to carry out jihad in the countries where they live. An audio statement on the extremist group’s Al Bayan radio station called the men “two soldiers of the caliphate.”

Federal investigators were looking for links to overseas terror groups, but as of Tuesday afternoon had not disclosed any connection or evidence to back up IS’s claims of

responsibility.

Authorities have not revealed whether Simpson and Soofi had any contact with IS or THE DAILY COURIER Elton Simpson if the group was in 2002 even aware of the deliberately provocative cartoon contest in Garland.

The cartoon contest had been expected to draw outrage from the Muslim community. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous, and drawings similar to those featured at the Texas event have sparked violence around the world.

Simpson and Soofi were wearing body armor, and one of the men shot a security officer in the leg before a single Garland police officer fired on the two gunmen.

After his initial shots, nearby

SWAT officers also fired at the attackers.

The security officer was treated at a hospital and released.

Simpson was arrested in 2010 after being the focus of a four-year terror investigation.

But despite amassing more than 1,500 hours of recorded conversations, including Simpson’s discussions about fighting nonbelievers for Allah and plans to link up with “brothers” in Somalia, the government prosecuted him on only one minor charge — lying to a federal agent.

He faced three years of probation and $600 in fines and court fees.

Terrorism expert Ben Venzke, who has been tracking terrorist groups for two decades, said jihadists have shifted their tactics to include not only major targets — like al-Qaida’s attack on the World Trade Center — but also small ones that are more easily accessible.

California missed water-saving goal

By Fenit Nirappil Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Californians conserved little water in March and local officials were not aggressive in cracking down on waste, state regulators reported Tuesday as they considered tough measures to force savings amid a continuing drought.

The State Water Resources Control Board received the update as it considers sweeping mandatory emergency regulations to protect water supplies in the parched state.

Gov. Jerry Brown has argued that the voluntary targets in place since early 2014 were insufficient and that Californians needed a jolt to take conservation seriously.

A survey of local water departments released at the start of the two-day meeting shows water use fell less than 4 percent in March compared with the same month in 2013.

Overall savings have been only about 9 percent since last summer, even though Brown set a voluntary 20 percent target.

The water board Tuesday began considering new regulations to step it up. The rules would bar cities from using drinking-quality water on street median grass and encourage homeowners to let lawns go brown to meet local

GOP spending plan approved by Senate WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday adopted a GOP budget that paves the way for an assault on President Barack Obama’s health care law this summer and a partisan showdown over spending bills this fall. The House adopted it last week.

The measure sets a potential path for a balanced budget within a decade. It promises to cut domestic agencies and safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps, carve up transportation spending and student aid, and curb tax breaks for the poor.

Arkansas: Huckabee runs Former Gov. Mike Huckabee declared his presidential candidacy Tuesday, counting on his brand of conservative populism to make his second White House bid more successful than his first. In 2008, he captivated evangelical Republicans but couldn’t build wide enough support to win the Republican nomination. He is the sixth notable Republican to enter the campaign.

Mo.: Brown’s friend sues Dorian Johnson, who was walking with Michael Brown Jr. on Aug. 9 when the two were approached by then-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, has filed a lawsuit against the city, Wilson and former Police Chief Thomas Jackson. The suit claims that Wilson assaulted Johnson, violated his constitutional rights, and intentionally and negligently inflicted emotional pain during the encounter, in which Wilson shot Brown to death. The lawsuit seeks damages of at least $25,000, and an injunction to prevent the city and its police from engaging in assault, unlawful arrest and excessive use of force.

Calif.: Drones given OK A drone large enough to carry tanks of fertilizers and pesticides has won rare approval from federal authorities to spray crops in the United States, officials said Tuesday. The RMAX is a remotely piloted helicopter that weighs 207 pounds, said Steve Markofski, a spokesman for Yamaha Corp. U.S.A., which developed the aircraft. Smaller drones weighing a few pounds had already been approved for limited use to take pictures that help farmers identify unhealthy crops.

mandatory water reduction targets.

Those conservation targets are among the most contentious provisions of the proposed rules.

The board plans to order each city to cut water use by as much as 36 percent compared to 2013, the year before the governor declared a drought emergency, and has rejected calls to create easier targets for communities in drier areas

or for cities that have been conserving since before the drought.

Some local water departments call the proposal unrealistic and unfair. They say achieving steep cuts could cause declining property values, restrictions on filling pools and washing cars and higher water bills.

An economic analysis of the water board’s proposal commissioned by the board

estimated that private water utilities and local water departments would lose a total of about $1 billion in revenue through lost water sales if they meet the board’s targets. They will eventually charge higher rates to make up the revenue, the report said.

Brown said last week he would push for legislation authorizing fines of up to $10,000 for extreme water wasters.

Gun in officer’s slaying among 23 stolen Authorities say it is the ninth weapon taken in the Georgia heist to be recovered in New York City.

By Jake Pearson Associated Press

NEW YORK — A handgun used to fatally shoot a New York Police Department officer a few days ago was among 23 stolen from a Georgia pawn shop and is the ninth to be recovered on the city’s streets.

Two of the handguns taken from Little’s Bait & Tackle Pawn Shop in Perry, Georgia, in the middle of the night on Oct. 3, 2011, were found by police in the Bronx within a few months of that burglary during arrests that are now sealed, authorities said Tuesday.

Another was found after a police sergeant in the Bronx stopped a motorist, an arrest that led to gun and drug charges, court papers show.

Five others were seized during investigations police wouldn’t discuss: two in 2011, three in 2013.

The ninth weapon, a

A police officer looks over a memorial for Officer Brian Moore, 25, on Tuesday at the 105th Precinct in the Queens section of New York.

.38-caliber five-shooter, was used Saturday. Officer Brian Moore and his partner suspected Demetrius Blackwell was carrying a gun in his waistband, and they were fired at three times almost as soon as they confronted him, police said. Moore, shot in the head, died two days later.

Nell Little, a sister-in-law of Little’s Bait & Tackle Pawn Shop owner Rufus Clarence Little, said she felt terrible about the gun’s use in Moore’s killing. “You can’t feel good about something like

that,” Little said. “I’m all upset about why everybody thinks cops are bad. Some are good and some are bad, but if this keeps up we’re not gonna have anybody to protect us.”

Police seized another handgun taken from Little’s store during an arrest in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, last May, authorities said.

Firearms stolen or illegally purchased in states with less stringent gun laws than New York, mostly in the South, are regularly trafficked north through an underground black

market, investigators say.

There were 4,022 such guns recovered in New York City in 2013, according to the most recent statistics available from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Little’s store, which has a federal firearms license, was burglarized by two men, Perry police and Little said. There have been no arrests. A month later the shop was burglarized again, and 12 long guns and shotguns were taken, Perry police Capt. Heath Dykes said.

In December, after a mentally ill man shot two uniformed police officers in Brooklyn, investigators tracked that weapon to a pawn shop 90 miles south of Perry. However, it had been legally purchased before winding up in the hands of Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who killed himself shortly after the officers’ shooting.

A funeral for Moore, 25, whose cousin, father and uncle were NYPD members, will be held Friday.

Blackwell will be charged with first-degree murder, prosecutors said. His attorney has denied the charges.

AROUND THE WORLD Mexico: 2 oil workers die An accident on an oil well-maintenance platform killed two workers and injured 10 in the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. Officials from the state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, blamed the incident on the collapse of one of the rig’s legs. Pemex said production was not affected.

Nepal: 60 bodies recovered Emergency workers have recovered the bodies of 60 people — including nine foreigners — who were killed when Nepal’s earthquake triggered a mudslide that buried a village in the Langtang Valley popular with tourists. Residents of the village, also called Langtang, said Tuesday that as many as 200 people could have been killed by tons of earth and mud unleashed in the devastating April 25 quake. The April 25 earthquake killed more than 7,500 people and injured more than 14,000.

Somalia: Kerry visits Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, for an unannounced visit to underscore America’s commitment to help defeat the Islamist militant al-Shabab group and call for accelerated reforms. The visit is the first by a U.S. secretary of state to Somalia, where African Unionbacked government forces have been fighting an insurgency by the al-Qaidalinked rebels since 2006. Kerry will hold talks with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud and other officials.

Cuba: Ferries get go ahead The Obama administration approved the first ferry service in decades between the United States and Cuba on Tuesday. Baja Ferries, which operates passenger service in Mexico, said it received a license from the U.S. Treasury Department. The Sun-Sentinel newspaper in Florida said approvals also were received by three other firms.

County’s home sales up 35 percent The Herald Business Journal They should just put up the ‘For Sale’ signs with the ‘Sold’ placards already attached.

Or that’s what it feels like.

Snohomish County saw a 35 percent increase in closed sales year over year for the month of April, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

A total of 1,272 homes closed

compared with 943 the year before.

“What’s available and that looks at least ‘pretty good’ is selling,” said Dick Beeson, an MLS director and principal managing broker at Re/ Max Professionals in Tacoma, said in a statement.

The median sales price in Snohomish County also made a jump. Last year, the median sales price for a home was $296,000

in April.

This year, the median price for homes was $335,000, or an increase of 13.18 percent.

Both condominiums and single-family homes sold at a brisk pace — 38.55 percent closed sales for condos and 34.03 percent for houses, according to the numbers.

The number of pending sales also was much higher year over year. Last year, there were 1,454

pending sales for the county for April. That went up to 1,747 this year.

“Long-building, pent-up demand is being unleashed,” Ken Anderson, managing broker and owner of Coldwell Banker Evergreen Olympia Realty, said in the statement.

Global growth for Emirates U.S. airlines: Gulf competitors have unfair subsidies

By Adam Schreck Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The man in charge of the Middle East’s biggest airline, Emirates, said Tuesday he is pressing ahead with a global expansion that could include more U.S. routes despite opposition from American carriers who accuse the airline of having an unfair advantage.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates’ chairman and CEO, said in an interview that several American cities have asked Emirates to launch routes connecting them with its everexpanding hub in Dubai.

He declined to name the potential destinations, citing competitive reasons and confidentiality agreements, but said the Dubai governmentbacked carrier is looking to

accommodate the requests “in a very short period of time.”

“We always learn we cannot stop, and this is really the direction of the UAE government and the Dubai government. The minute you stop, somebody will pass you,” he told The Associated Press. “In terms of expansion, we will continue.”

Emirates plans to release its annual financial results Thursday. Sheikh Ahmed suggested that international currency fluctuations have offset some gains from lower oil prices but he said that overall “it’s been an excellent year.”

The airline is looking to increase services “on every continent” — it operates multiple routes into all except Antarctica — by adding additional routes and increasing frequencies on more than 140 existing ones, he said.

The carrier recently announced plans for daily flights to Orlando, its 10th U.S. passenger destination. That should begin Sept. 1.

U.S. airlines have for years quietly criticized the rapid growth of Emirates and its smaller Gulf competitors, accusing them of poaching passengers and unfairly benefiting from government assistance.

The dispute has been heating up, with American, Delta and United releasing a report this year outlining what they say are billions of dollars in subsidies to Gulf carriers. They are pressing Washington to reconsider treaties that allow Gulf airlines to fly to the U.S. Emirates, although owned

The former chief executive officer of London-based fashion retailer Burberry Group was awarded $82.6 million in 2014, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Ahrendts’ pay included a sign-on bonus and a make-whole grant for awards left behind at Burberry.

By Stephen Ohlemacher WASHINGTON — The IRS issued $5.6 billion in potentially bogus education tax credits in a single year — more than a quarter of all education credits claimed by taxpayers, a government watchdog said Tuesday.

A new report by the agency’s inspector general says questionable credits were issued to more than 3.6 million taxpayers in 2012. Most of them went to students even though the IRS never received a tuition statement from the school.

Some students attended schools that weren’t eligible for federal funding while others didn’t take enough classes to qualify for the tax break.

“The IRS still does not have effective processes to identify erroneous claims for education credits,” said J. Russell George, Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

George said the IRS has taken some steps to better police the credits, but has not addressed all the deficiencies that George’s office identified in a 2011 report. In that report, the inspector general said the IRS issued $3.2 billion in potentially bogus education tax credits in 2010.

“As a result, taxpayers continue to receive billions of dollars in potentially erroneous education credits,” George said.

“Wells Fargo’s culture is focused on the best interests of its customers and creating a supportive, caring and ethical environment for our team members,” the San Francisco-based bank said in a statement.

The city’s investigation found only token efforts to prevent wrongdoing, according to court papers.

The complaint was filed under a law that allows attorneys representing large California cities to seek relief for unfair business practices for customers statewide.

The lawsuit seeks a court order ending the alleged practices along with penalties up to $2,500 for every violation and restitution for affected customers.

Feuer said the number of possible violations would be determined during a discovery process. If the suit prevails in Los Angeles County Superior Court, it would apply to county residents and possibly some customers farther away, he said.

Frank Ahn, who owns a convenience store and a coin-operated laundry in the San Fernando Valley, said he was repeatedly pressured over four years to open additional accounts at Wells Fargo. When he declined, the bank opened three savings accounts in his name anyway, Ahn said.

After he complained, the accounts were deleted, only to reappear months later, he said.

spokeswoman for a coalition known as the Partnership for Open and Fair Skies that includes the three big U.S. airlines and a number of labor unions, responded to Sheikh Ahmed’s comments by saying that Emirates and other Gulf carriers “aren’t simply growing” by adding routes to the U.S. “They are racing against the clock to dump more

“I just feel like every time I go to the branch, it’s a battle with them,” Ahn said at the news conference. “I’ve had more than 10 accounts at Wells Fargo. I only need one.”

The bank had a culture of high-pressure sales that pushed employees toward fraudulent conduct,” Feuer said. Employees misused customers’ confidential information and often failed to close unauthorized accounts despite complaints, the suit said.

Some employees raided customer accounts for money to open more accounts, according to court papers.

“The result is that Wells Fargo has generated a virtual fee-generating machine, through which its customers are harmed, its employees take the blame, and Wells Fargo reaps the profit,” the lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit focuses mostly on what’s known in the industry as bundling, also called cross-selling, where bank employees try to sell multiple bank products to a customer who may have just come in to open an account or apply for a credit card.

Wells Fargo has had a long history of cross-selling and bundling, averaging more than six products per household, according to its

Officials are eager to shift more airline traffic to that new facility even as they expand the older Dubai International Airport, now the world’s busiest airport for international traffic.

“We simply do not have enough resources to audit every questionable credit.”

“It’s also important to note the IRS believes the dollar estimates in this report are overstated, and the methodology could be more accurate,” the statement said. “Regardless of this, the IRS believes more can be done in this area and will continue working with Congress and (the IG) to make improvements.”

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, questioned the IRS’ ability to police the credits.

“The IRS owes it to American families and hardworking taxpayers to properly safeguard their hard-earned dollars and not dole them out to people who are not qualified

to receive such credits,” Hatch said in a statement.

There are two main education tax credits.

The American Opportunity Tax Credit offers up to $2,500 a year to help pay for tuition and other expenses.

Students must be in a program that leads to a degree. Students can claim this credit for up to four years.

The Lifetime Learning Credit pays 20 percent of tuition and other education expenses, up to a maximum of $2,000.

There is no limit on the number years this credit can be taken and students don’t have to pursue a degree.

Both credits are available only to students attending schools that are eligible to receive federal student aid.

But the total number of listed properties for the county dropped from 2,237 listings a year ago to 1,937, or a decrease of 16.76 percent.

It’s the same story around the Puget Sound region, where the total number of listings was

down 15 percent from a year ago, or a drop from 21,390 homes to 18,132 this year.

Invest to reduce wildfire risks to pay for the costs of fighting the Carlton Complex. Leaving aside the damages to private and state property, wildfires during the current two-year budget cycle, including the Carlton Complex, will have cost the state $128 million to fight, reported InvestigateWest, an investigative journalism center, in a story published in Sunday’s Herald.

Budgeting for expected firefighting costs for the next two years comes down to a guess informed by experience, snowpack measurements and weather predictions.

The snowpack throughout Washington in 2014, prior to the Carlton Complex fire, measured 70 percent to 90 percent of normal. A warmerthan-usual winter this year has left much of the state with a snowpack that is less than 20 percent of normal. More than 70 wildfires already have been reported this year, and

while the threat of wildfire is typically high in Eastern Washington, it is also expected to be high in Western Washington, too.

It’s not as if the state won’t eventually pay the bills for fighting wildfires; supplemental budgets make up the difference between an educated guess and reality.

But the Legislature could still make a significant investment in heading off greater property losses and costs in fighting fires by increasing its budget for wildfire prevention. Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark told InvestigateWest that he’s trying to save the state money by seeking $20 million for preventive measures, including work to continue thinning of state lands and reduction of the buildup of brush and small trees with proscribed burns as well as increased funding for the FireWise

program. FireWise, funded by the Department of Natural Resouces and administered by the Washington State Conservation Commission, works with private property owners and communities using cost-share incentives to clear vegetation near homes and other structures and thin trees and reduce fuels on private forestland.

But the House and Senate budgets released before the current special session provide far less for that work. The House offers a little more than half of Goldmark’s request.

The Senate offers no increase in funding for prevention.

Yes, the attention of lawmakers is on satisfying its duty to fully fund education, but there remains an expectation that legislators consider the likely costs if other programs are not funded with foresight.

It could be a long, hot and costly summer.

these walkouts will affect the Legislature and its decision making, the only people they are affecting are the students and their families.

Hopefully, teachers in other districts will not walk out on their students at a critical time in the year and instead and choose to remain in the classroom.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■‘GET INTO THE ACT’

Celebrate our elders this month The Washington State Council on Aging is asking you to join us, and Gov. Inslee, in honoring older Americans during the month of May. Since 1963, the month of May has been historically designated to recognize the contributions of older Americans. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Get into the Act,” to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities and making a positive impact in the lives of others.

This theme also reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Older Americans Act into law in July 1965. Since that time, the act has provided a nationwide aging services network and funding that helps older adults live with dignity in the communities of their choice for as long as possible.

Older Americans Month offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the home- and community-based services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities.

Gov. Inslee has issued a proclamation acknowledging Older Americans Month. Let’s join him across the state in celebrating our elders.

Students victims of walkouts Recently, teachers in school districts all over the state have voted to “walk out” on their jobs as a form of protest against low funding for education. The teachers have valid concerns, but are sending their message incorrectly. As a student at Glacier Peak High School, I am all for properly funding education, but spending one less day in the classroom is not the way to fix the problem. By voting to walk out, teachers are interrupting vital learning time, and inconveniencing families.

This week, Snohomish School District teachers voted to walk out.

The walkout is occurring during the Advanced Placement testing window, which will cost students vital preparation time with teachers in the classroom for those important tests. Teachers need to put their students ahead of their gripes. Teachers are looking for the legislators in Olympia to do their jobs. The teachers are not helping by choosing to act exactly like the Legislature; by walking out, teachers aren’t doing their jobs!

The teachers could have just as easily protested at any time when school is not in session. In fact, it would probably send a stronger message to protest on a nonworking day. That would show not just the Legislature, but the community, how determined teachers are to fixing this problem.

Lovick’s tenure must come to end I’ve only lived in Snohomish County for eight years, but long enough to witness the resignation — in shame — of former Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, due to scandals.

Have we jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire? Are we going to suffer interminably the questionable behavior of this current executive?

The most recent issue, as noted in The Herald recently, indicates John Lovick violated county code by giving pay raises without submitting them to the council for approval or providing appropriate supporting documentation. (April 24 article, “County Council furious over lawyer’s 21 percent pay raise.”) Appearances are important and the fact is that this action is not legal.

That one of these raises was for Patty Murray’s daughter could be seen as a red flag, but let’s focus on the process which clearly was not delivered with the transparency that Mr. Lovick was touted to bring to the position.

IN OUR VIEW | State budget priorities

There may be at least one advantage to the Legislature needing a special session (or two) to pass state budgets this year; it has put its decision regarding funds to prepare for and fight wildfires closer to the actual wildfire season and, perhaps, closer to the realization that lawmakers haven’t budgeted enough.

The devastation of the Carlton Complex wildfire last summer in north central Washington should still be fresh enough in mind. It burned more than 400 square miles and destroyed about 350 homes. And the final costs in fighting it have only recently been totaled. The state for the 2013-15 biennium budgeted $51 million, anticipating increased firefighting needs.

But that $51 million didn’t come close to meeting needs, and the Legislature had to pass a supplemental budget that added $79 million, largely

hat are the elements of a good quality of life? Good, accessible and affordable health care.

Being able to pay your bills. Living in a welcoming home. Having a job with a wage that reflects the value of your work.

Knowing that when you have a child, or you adopt a child, you JOHN BURBANK will have the time to care for these infants, Legislators and not worry about won’t act if working for a while. we cower in Knowing discontent that as they grow up, you and will have the ability to depression. teach them, instilling thoughtfulness, consideration, and, of course, love, into their lives and souls.

A good quality of life means that as you age, you don’t have to worry about having enough money for your groceries and your housing. You are able to have a community of friends and family, not isolated in worry, debt and poverty. A good life includes a vibrant and sharing culture, in which we talk, have eye contact, argue and drink beer and coffee in real time with real people.

How much does this good quality of life cost? When you add in housing, health care, child care, food, transportation, taxes and other necessities like your phone and internet, a very low-ball estimate is about $52,000 for a family with one adult and one child and $70,000 for a family with two adults and two kids. (And this doesn’t include savings for retirement.) In terms of wages, that is about two-and-a-half times the minimum wage for that single mom and her child, and about twice the minimum wage at full-time for both parents working with two kids. Here is the problem: The wage of the average worker is $25 an hour. That means that half of all workers make less than $25 an hour, which means that they are on the margins of insecurity, falling away from a good quality of life.

Could we in Washington state do something different and enable all citizens the ability to earn enough money for a good quality of life and be able to enjoy an peaceful retirement? Of course. This universal good quality of life, adding up all households in our state, would cost about $225 billion a year. Our current state personal income is $350 billion. The problem is that with money migrating to the very top, the incomes of the middle class have been stagnant. That is no way to have a mutually beneficial and good and healthy quality of life.

This increasing insecurity is the product of conscious public policy decisions to act and not to act. For example, there is a law on the books for gradually increasing the wages of child care teachers. Right now these wages hover around $11 an hour, enabling a child care teacher to work her way deeper into poverty! And she will continue to do this, because the Legislature fails to fund the policy for gradually increasing wages which they voted into law in 2005.

Similarly, there is no constitutional prohibition against taxing the income of the very wealthy. By not taxing that income, the incentives encourage piling money on top of money for the already privileged, and create a feedback mechanism that encourages employers to push down wages for their workers. At the same time, public services, such as higher education, are starved for tax revenue and priced out of reach for middle class families.

There are numerous similar acts and omissions of public policy that undermine a good quality of life in our state. It is not enough to get depressed at the insecurity of our neighbors, our children, our parents or ourselves. It is not the natural order of things. We do have the power to create laws that insure elemental things like health care, education, retirement security, a balance of work and family. Legislators won’t act if we cower in discontent and depression. We have to express ourselves and build a new reality, if not for ourselves, then at least for our kids and their kids. That’s possible, in a democracy, after all.

Harvest From Page A1

Kara Whittaker, the center’s senior scientist and policy analyst, told the board not enough is known about the subsurface flow of water and permeability of soils in and around the harvest area.

Finding it out would require drilling in several locations to gauge the levels of water and saturation, she said.

Though not cheap, it would provide greater certainty about the likelihood of logging destabilizing the slope, she said.

“After the tragedy of Oso it is clear all forest land managers must be extremely cautious when approving forest practices above or adjacent to glacial

to winning,” Steiner said.

“They figure those people don’t have the money, the savvy or the energy to fight them. They were dead wrong on the Chuck Hamel calculation and I think they know that now.”

Kathleen Hamel met her future husband in Washington, D.C., in the 1970s.

A political science major who grew up in Marysville, she worked as a secretary for Everett native son and U.S. Sen. Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson. Hamel also worked on the hill.

Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota once helped him get an elevator operator job in the Capitol. As a college student he worked for Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson. He became an aide for Sen. Thomas Dodd of Connecticut and later to Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska.

The Hamels were married for 37 years.

“I was so proud of

deep-seated landslides,” she said.

Two Department of Natural Resources officials rebutted Whittaker’s concerns about the planned cutting of western hemlocks and Douglas firs on a mountainside above U.S. 2 northwest of Index. It overlooks railroad tracks, a few homes, Forks of the Sky State Park, the North Fork Skykomish River and popular rock climbing walls.

Tom Shay, assistant division manager of product sales, said the harvest area is a good distance from the slope that the Forest Law Center is concerned about.

There have been at least eight field visits to the site by five different licensed engineering geologists in the past three years, he said. Visits have occurred since DNR

put the sale on hold because of the center’s concerns.

“The slope below the Deer Wrap sale has been extensively reviewed and DNR has a high confidence level that this is a low-risk proposal,” he said.

Some believe a decadeold clearcut on the bluff above Steelhead Haven was a contributing cause of the deadly March 22, 2014, Oso mudslide that killed 43 people.

Scientists who have studied the disaster focused on near-record rainfall in the weeks before the slide as the likeliest explanation for the torrent of mud.

A report published last year by an academic consortium called Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance speculated that logging might have

changed how water moved through the hillside above Steelhead Haven. But that was just one of 10 factors that might have contributed, and evaluating the effect of logging on the slope was outside the scope of that report.

Casey Hanell, a geologist in the forest resources division, said the geologic setting at Deer Wrap is not the same as the hillside that gave way in Oso. “I will say again there is a high level of confidence, and a lot of field evidence, that this may not, is probably not, a landslide,” Hanell said of the area where the timber is to be cut. “Again taking a conservative approach, if it was a landslide, from everything we can see here it is thousands of years old.”

That prompted a direct question from board

member Ron Mittlehammer, who is dean of the College of Agricultural, Human, & Natural Resource Sciences at WSU in Pullman.

“Would you build a house at the bottom of that (slope) and live in it?” he asked.

“Yes,” Hanell replied.

The six-member board is led by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark.

Other members are state schools chief Randy Dorn, a member of Gov. Jay Inslee’s administration, representatives from the University of Washington and Washington State and a Clallam County commissioner. Dorn did not attend Tuesday.

The state plans to auction the Deer Wrap timber June 17 with a minimum bid price of $812,000. About half would go to Washington State University and

the remainder to a state account for elementary and secondary schools as well as Snohomish County and other taxing districts.

Following the vote, Peter Goldman, managing attorney of the nonprofit Forest Law Center, said he was disappointed the board didn’t pursue additional science in the interest of assuring the safety of the public living nearby.

While Goldman doesn’t think the conditions are identical as in Oso, in the “interests of caution” it should have been pulled back a little longer.

“Now we’re just going to have to keep our fingers crossed and hope that everything will be okay,” he said.

Chuck,” she said recently.

“I really was honored to share his life, but always a little terrified.”

Her husband not only stirred the pot. He made sure it boiled over.

Creating controversy wasn’t his initial intent.

As an aide to Gravel, he worked relentlessly to convince Alaskans, commercial fishermen and native populations that the oil industry would be good for their state and would build an environmentally sound pipeline and port terminal.

Later, he did well in the private sector, owning oil leases and working as an oil and shipping broker.

He made millions but lost much of his fortune when the quality of his crude came into question. He ended up filing a complaint against the Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.,a group of major oil companies operating the trans-Alaska pipeline, when he suspected they were giving him oil that was diluted with water.

His complaint was

dismissed, but he’d become convinced the oil industry had cheated him and others.

He began looking into environmental and health and safety concerns raised by people working for the oil companies who were willing to pass along information anonymously. He targeted the oil companies’ Valdez tanker port and problems along the 800mile pipeline.

“I decided that I had to do something to prove to the public that the oil industry had violated their legal and moral obligations to Alaska,” Hamel told a House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs in November 1991.

“The more I heard, the angrier I got about what was going on,” he said.

“Alyeska was polluting the water by introducing toxic sludge, including cancercausing benzene, into the pristine waters of Port Valdez and Prince William Sound. Alyeska was poisoning the Valdez fjord’s air by venting extremely hazardous hydrocarbon

vapors directly into the atmosphere. There was no regulatory oversight and thus no regulatory violations.”

At the time, the House Committee was looking into the covert surveillance of Hamel and others.

Former employees of Wackenhut Corp., a private security firm, testified on Hamel’s behalf. They described how a makebelieve company, the Ecolit Group, was concocted to fool Hamel to gain information about his contacts.

“In my view, it is important to find out why some of the largest and most powerful corporations in this country would resort to such elaborate sting tactics to invade and destroy the privacy of Mr. Hamel, federal and state officials, environmentalists and ordinary citizens,” committee chairman, Congressman George Miller, said at the time.

Miller said he believed the tactics were meant to silence environmental critics and intimidate

whistle-blowers.

Hamel sued and won a settlement before going to trial.

In a 2011 story, a New York Times reporter wrote: “The national media lionized him as the whistleblower folk hero who took on one of the world’s most powerful industries and won.”

Steiner, the biologist, met Hamel well before the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill that brought greater scrutiny to the oil industry in Alaska.

He came to admire his colleague’s instincts, tenacity and political acumen.

“In a sense, he kind of paved the way for greater citizen oversight of the oil industry, not just here in Alaska but nationally,” he said.

People trusted that he would do something with the information they provided, he said. Hamel felt an obligation to speak in their behalf.

“The phenomenon of Chuck Hamel would not have been possible if it were not from some brave oil workers in the

industry,” Steiner said.

“They saw wrongdoing and they wanted it fixed. They had no recourse within the companies. They felt their jobs were at risk. He became their ombudsman in a sense.”

Yet in Marysville, where Hamel moved in April 2009, that celebrity was little known.

His health soon began to fail. He died April 9. Few in the congregation at the Marysville United Methodist Church were familiar with his life story.

“They just knew Chuck as my husband,” Kathleen said. “They don’t understand what he has done.”

She hopes they and others will learn more at his May 17 memorial service.

It’s at 2 p.m. that day at the church, 5600 64th St. NE. As she makes the arrangements, she is thinking about what to put on his headstone.

In her mind, she sees an etching with the words: “He spoke truth to power.”

CITY OF GRANITE FALLS Notice of Determination of Non-signiďŹ cance PROJECT NAME: 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: Update and amend the City of Granite Falls Comprehensive Plan in response to Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements. The proposed amendments: (1) bring the Comprehensive Plan up to date with relevant changes in the GMA; (2) respond to changes in land use and population growth; and (3) address incremental change in the community since previous amendments of the Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan elements have been updated to better reďŹ&#x201A;ect current priorities and edited for clarity and readability. The draft Comprehensive Plan includes the theoretical land use capacity that could accommodate 2035 population and employment growth targets mandated by Countywide Planning Policies.

APPLICANT/CONTACT PERSON: City of Granite Falls, Darla Reese, City Clerk, 206 South Granite Avenue/P.O. Box 1440, Granite Falls, Washington 98252; Phone (360) 691-6441; e-mail: darla.reese@ci.garnite-falls.wa.us.

LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: city-wide (non-project action) PERMITS REQUIRED: City Council approval of an ordinance adopting the propose amendments LEAD AGENCY: City of Granite Falls The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable signiďŹ cant adverse impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public on request.

PUBLIC COMMENTS AND APPEALS: There is a 14-day comment period on the MDNS, followed by a 10-day appeal period. The public is invited to comment on this project according to the schedules below. The project ďŹ le is available for review at City Hall at the above address. Please contact City Clerk Darla Reese at 360-691-6441 or darla.reese@ci.granite-falls.wa.us for assistance.

Comments on the MDNS addressing environmental issues must be submitted prior to 5:00 P.M. on May 20, 2015. Comments will be considered and may cause the MDNS to be revised.

M’s pen caves in, Angels win on walkoff Farquhar coughs up lead, Leone tagged for walk-off HR in 5-4 loss to Los Angeles.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Well, that ended in a hurry.

Carlos Perez rocked the second pitch from Dominic Leone for a walk-off homer Tuesday night in powering the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Seattle

Mariners at Angel Stadium.

This will be a tough one for the Mariners to swallow.

The Mariners had just taken a 4-2 lead by scoring three runs in the eighth when Danny Farquhar replaced James Paxton to start the bottom of the inning.

Farquhar retired Trout on a pop to first, but the Angels put the tying runs on base when Albert Pujols singled and David Freese walked.

Erick Aybar followed with a RBI grounder through the right side

that moved pinch-runner Taylor Featherston to third.

Johnny Giavotella tied the game with a seeing-eye grounder through the left side for another

RBI single. Farquhar held the tie when C.J. Cron grounded into a double play.

Angels closer Huston Street (1-0) breezed through the Mariners in the ninth before Perez drove Leone’s second pitch over the left-field wall. Leone is 0-3.

It was a pitchers’ duel before the two bullpens took over in the eighth inning.

Paxton served up a two-run homer in the first inning to Pujols but nothing more in pitching through the seventh.

Knights keep playoff hopes alive

Even so, Paxton was tracking most of the night for a similar outcome to his first start of the season, when he gave up a tworun homer to Freese in a 2-0 loss to the Angels at Safeco Field.

Angels starter Garrett Richards gave up just one run in seven innings largely because, as they have all year, the Mariners pretty much flat-lined with runners in scoring position: 1-for-9.

playoffs.

“You control what you can control. The only thing we could control is how we played on the field,” said Kamiak head coach Frank Nickerson. “That keeps us alive. It would have been nice if we had won the game on Monday and it would have been in our hands. Now, we have to rely on other teams.”

Kamiak finished its regular season with a 6-8 league mark, and an 8-11 record overall. The Knights are half a game behind Lake Stevens (6-7 league record) and Monroe.

SEATTLE — Snohomish girls lacrosse coach Christine Ryan said her team played one of its best halves of the season in the second half of Tuesday’s game against Lakeside.

The first half, however, left a little something to be desired.

Before Snohomish even got on the scoreboard, Lakeside had built an 8-0 lead and led 10-2 at halftime. Snohomish outscored Lakeside 7-4 after halftime, but the deficit was too large to overcome in a 14-9 loss.

“We couldn’t win the draw and when we can’t win the draw things tend to go bad for us,” firstyear head coach Ryan said of the first half. “When we did get it down on attack we just went straight from getting the ball down there to stopping everything. We weren’t moving the ball around and we weren’t moving people around. When we do that, we’re easy to defend. Anybody is easy to defend when they do that.”

With the win in the final regular-season game of the year for both teams, Lakeside clinches the No. 2 seed going into the postseason from the North Sound division. Snohomish qualifies for the postseason with the No. 3 seed. Lakeside’s lone league loss came to Roosevelt, while Snohomish lost league games to both Roosevelt and Lakeside.

Lakeside controlled possession for most of the first half, but when Snohomish did have possession it was unable to capitalize. Trailing 5-0, Snohomish had the ball

MUKILTEO — The Kamiak baseball team doesn’t know if it will play another game this season.

But the Knights bought themselves at least one more practice.

Kamiak kept its playoff hopes alive with a 3-2 Wesco 4A victory over Cascade Tuesday afternoon at Kamiak High School.

The game, which was moved from Cascade’s field to Kamiak because of weather, was a mustwin contest for the Knights to have a chance to clinch a spot in this weekend’s 4A District 1

Seahawks’ rookie camp set to open under scrutiny Seattle brass taking criticism for its investigation, or lack thereof, into second-round pick Clark’s domestic violence incident last November.

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

The Seattle Seahawks’ rookie minicamp this week will include on-field practices for the team’s newest players Friday, Saturday and Sunday at team headquarters in Renton.

And much of the nation will be scrutinizing it.

It’s normally a relatively mundane weekend of drills in blue shorts and helmets, still four months before real games begin.

But not this time.

All of Seattle’s eight draft picks

from last weekend plus the 12 undrafted free agents who agreed to terms last Saturday are expected to be at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for the first time as members of the twotime defending NFC champions.

That includes Nate Boyer. The 34-year-old ex-U.S. Army Special Forces soldier served three war tours in Iraq and Afghanistan then walked onto the University of Texas’ team for his first games of competitive football as a long snapper. The Seahawks signed him Saturday evening.

This weekend minicamp will

also include a far-from-feel-good story.

The team’s top pick, Frank Clark, is likely to attract national outlets that are talking about what the Seahawks did and did not do to investigate the pass rusher’s arrest and two-day jailing for assault and domestic violence last November.

After getting kicked out of the football program at the University of Michigan, Clark struck a plea deal with Ohio prosecutors last month, down to a charge of disorderly conduct.

L

AS VEGAS — The people who paid $99.95 to watch at home had no clue.

Neither did those spending $40,000 or more for a ringside seat Saturday night in Las Vegas.

And, surely, the bettor who wagered $500,000 at the MGM Grand sports book on Manny Pacquiao to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasn’t in the loop.

They all thought they were getting the Fight of the Century.

Two fighters who, if not in their prime, were at least in peak condition for the fight of their lives.

What they got instead was a one-armed Pacquiao chasing Mayweather around the ring for 12 rounds. The Filipino who normally is a punching machine landed only 18 right jabs and didn’t even throw as many punches as the defensiveminded Mayweather.

His shoulder had been injured in training. Injured so badly that Pacquiao will undergo surgery this week for a rotator cuff tear.

Yet the fight went on. No one outside the Pacquiao camp knew until two hours before the fight, when his handlers unsuccessfully sought permission from Nevada boxing officials for a shot of Toradol, an antiinflammatory used to treat acute pain.

Fighters are tough guys. They often enter the ring not 100 percent because in boxing it’s

an unwritten rule that the fight must go on.

But this was different. This was the richest fight ever, a boxing match so big that the fighters were getting paydays that rivaled the gross domestic product of some developing countries.

This was a fight so hugely anticipated that it demanded the best of both fighters.

“I wanted to be more aggressive but it was hard for me to fight (with one hand),” Pacquiao said.

It’s hard to blame Pacquiao, even if he lied a day before the fight when he checked the “no” box on a commission form asking him if he had a shoulder injury. He had the weight of an entire country on his shoulders,

and he badly wanted to fight.

The people around him, though, are another matter. They knew their fighter was damaged goods, but sent him into the ring anyway.

The stakes were too high. The money was too big. The richest fight ever had to go on.

“Athletes always fight hurt,” promoter Bob Arum said the night of the fight. “We felt the work that was done on the shoulder during training would give him the opportunity to use the right hand. He deals with the injury and thinks he conquered it and it was reinjured again.

Happens in football and every sport.”

Turns out there was a reason trainer Freddie Roach closed

sparring sessions a month before the fight. Nothing to see but a one-armed fighter getting ready to fight the best fighter of his generation.

The problem for Pacquiao’s camp wasn’t in keeping Mayweather in the dark about the injury. That’s fair game in boxing, where there’s little advantage in letting an opponent know about any weakness.

But no one told Nevada boxing officials, not even when specifically asked on the form filled out by Pacquiao just before the weigh-in. They were blindsided when, just before the fight, Pacquiao’s handlers asked if it was OK for their fighter to get a shot to deaden the pain in his shoulder.

By then it was too late. Allowing the shot without knowing exactly what the injury was would have put Mayweather at a disadvantage, at the very least.

“They had plenty of time to disclose it,” said Bob Bennett, executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The lack of disclosure will probably mean a fine, and possibly a suspension for Pacquiao.

He can afford both, with a payday that figures to exceed $100 million and a lengthy recovery time from shoulder surgery.

Still, Nevada boxing regulators need to do something. They thought they had done everything possible to ensure a fair fight, but ended up being snookered instead.

It won’t get people back the money they paid, something a pair of fans are seeking in a federal court lawsuit filed Tuesday against Pacquiao and his handlers.

But it might give them some confidence that the next time they are asked to dig deep into their wallets they can do so with confidence that they are getting what they paid for.

Lawsuit against Pacquiao alleges injury cover-up

By Lance Pugmire Los Angeles Times

Manny Pacquiao’s attorney said Tuesday he intends to move to dismiss what he describes as a “frivolous” class-action lawsuit filed against the boxer and his primary handlers in Nevada by two Las Vegas residents.

As first reported by ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the lawsuit seeks in excess of $5 million from Pacquiao, his manager Michael Koncz and his promoter, Top Rank Inc., for allegedly fraudulently covering up Pacquiao’s right shoulder injury before his Saturday night loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. The lawsuit, according to Rovell, alleges that the parties failed to disclose the injury to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and worked to keep it secret from fans who paid a minimum $2,500 to attend the fight in person and $99.95 to watch a high-definition broadcast of Saturday’s pay-per-view bout.

Privately, key members of Pacquiao’s team said Sunday that they feared such a move would come, one saying, “people will sue over anything.”

Pay-per-view sales should be in excess of $300 million and Las Vegas bookmakers told The Los Angeles Times last week that an

estimated $50 million to $80 million would be bet on the bout, with slight underdog Pacquiao a popular wager despite the largest wagers being on Mayweather.

The lawsuit, according to Rovell, alleges that the defendants “had full knowledge and information that defendant Pacquiao had been seriously injured and was suffering from a torn rotator cuff,” and they knew “that such injury would severely affect his performance.”

In a document obtained by The Times on Monday, Pacquiaio and Koncz signed a Nevada State Athletic Commission medical form at Friday’s weigh-in that had “no” checked next to a question asking if the boxer had suffered a shoulder injury.

The form also included notes that Pacquiao could take the anti-inflammatory prescription injection Toradol, which commission chairman Francisco Aguilar stopped Pacquiao from

taking before the fight.

Pacquiao suffered a right shoulder injury while sparring April 4 and received a cortisone injection April 6, according to a member of his training team, and rested the arm until he felt better.

Pacquiao said the shoulder was functioning at 60 percent before the fight, and that he believed the pre-fight injection that was never given would provide him a full range of motion.

Instead, he said he reaggravated the injury throwing effective combinations in the fourth round, and Mayweather proceeded to win by unanimous decision, by scores of 118-110, 116-112, 116-112.

On Monday, Koncz reported that Pacquiao will undergo shoulder surgery in Los Angeles this week and will be sidelined an estimated four to six months, with a more thorough diagnosis coming from doctors following the surgery.

Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said Monday that he could not answer why the injury box was checked no. Aguilar said since the medical form was signed under the penalty of perjury, he’s asked the Nevada attorney general to assess the situation, given the gravity of a fight that will shatter boxing revenue records.

Curry changed Warriors’ culture

By Tim Kawakami San Jose Mercury News

O

AKLAND, Calif. — There was every chance that the Golden State Warriors would crush Stephen Curry’s soul and destroy his career when he got here in 2009.

Every piece of evidence and at least one veteran player just about screamed it.

Back then, Curry was precisely the wrong player coming to precisely the wrong team at precisely the wrong time for anybody’s good.

Of course, five seasons later, we know: Curry didn’t break, he outlasted the insanity, he made himself the pillar and symbol of the new success, and on Monday he won the 2015 NBA MVP, with all his teammates onstage alongside him.

In a few weeks, he might lead the Warriors to their first championship since 1975, too.

So, when you trace the stunning rebirth of this team, you start it in the summer of 2009, period.

That was a year before Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team from Chris Cohan, three years before Bob Myers took over as general manager, and five years before Steve Kerr arrived.

It starts in the summer of 2009 — when the Warriors were fortunate enough to draft Curry (despite the objections of his advisors), when Curry decided to dig in his heels and lead the renaissance, and when the seeds of 2015 were planted.

“It was a little rough my first few years, but I loved playing at Oracle,” Curry said Monday of his home arena.

“You look around the league and you see different arenas — that’s somewhere you want to play.

“I thought I could have a huge impact on changing the culture at the start — or end — of my rookie year.”

Remember, in 2009, this was a team that featured Stephen

GERALD HERBERT / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was named the NBA’s most valuable player on Monday.

Jackson (who demanded a trade soon after Curry was drafted), Monta Ellis (who famously said he couldn’t play with Curry right as training camp started), and Don Nelson (who was starting his final coaching season).

Flash from that point to Monday’s ceremony and heartfelt Curry speech. If you add it all up, Curry essentially saved this franchise.

“He’s taken that team that we had at the time — frankly there was no future, there wasn’t anything that we could count on,” said Larry Riley, the team’s GM back then and currently the director of scouting.

“He’s taken this team — as well as the addition of a lot of good players around him, he’s taken this team to the point where we’re winners.”

It was stubbornness more than anything that kept Curry determined to stick it out with the Warriors, through the storms and his own bedeviling earlycareer ankle injuries.

It was the stubbornness of a

born star, really.

Where everybody failed — where everybody was meant to fail — Curry figured he could succeed.

“He said he didn’t know anything about the team or what was going on, but (agent Jeff Austin) and I, we knew what was going on,” his father Dell Curry said.

“We didn’t think this was the right fit.”

But once Riley and Nelson bypassed the wishes of the Curry camp, Stephen Curry accepted the twist of fate and embraced his new situation.

It wasn’t easy.

“He’s been a winner his whole career; hasn’t endured a lot of losing, so that was a tough year,” Dell Curry said.

“Being a rookie on a veteran team that hadn’t been so successful, it easily could’ve gone the other way.

“As a dad and a former player, it was important that I expressed to him that hey, you can be a part of changing the culture. So

C3

Grizzlies beat Warriors to even series 1-1

he just stayed the course.”

Curry went to camp knowing that Ellis and Jackson doubted him, and he convinced them he could play.

Curry kept to the plan while players came and went, then Lacob and Guber took control, then Jerry West and Myers came aboard, then Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, Draymond Green, Mark Jackson, Andre Iguodala and finally Kerr.

As Curry noted Monday: Every season, the roster got better around him. He noticed.

Why did all those pieces fit so easily on this team? Easy: The Warriors had Curry, and the new management realized pretty quickly that if it built the team around him, he would hold up his end and more.

He could hold up the entire franchise.

Curry was the solitary spot of light when things were at their darkest, so when the Warriors’ situation brightened, Curry turned into a supernova.

Just ask Kerr how heavily Curry’s presence on the roster affected his decision to spurn the Knicks and come to coach the Warriors.

“Well, the two biggest factors were my daughter being here at Berkeley and Steph being on the team,” Kerr said, smiling. “And as I told my daughter, it was about 90 percent Steph and 10 percent my daughter.”

That was a joke, but a knowing one.

Curry endured one terrible season under Nelson, one terrible season under interim coach Keith Smart, and then one startup season under Mark Jackson in 2011-12, before the Warriors made the playoffs in 2013.

Jackson is gone, but Curry is still here and now he’s the franchise’s first MVP since 1960, when it was located in Philadelphia.

He’s the longest-tenured Warriors player, he’s the best and most stubborn, and he was the light in the darkness, before everything got very, very bright.

Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Mike Conley returned just eight days after having facial surgery to score 22 points, and the Memphis Grizzlies used a smothering defensive effort to beat the Golden State Warriors 97-90 on Tuesday night, evening the Western Conference semifinals 1-1.

Wearing a clear mask to protect his swollen face and red left eye, Conley stole the spotlight from newly minted MVP Stephen Curry. He made his first four shots to get the Grizzlies going, and his teammates did the rest on defense.

Zach Randolph had 20 points and seven rebounds, and Marc Gasol and Courtney Lee scored 15 points each to help Memphis end Golden State’s 21-game home-winning streak.

Curry led the Warriors with 19 points.

The Warriors dropped to 42-3 this season at rowdy Oracle Arena, losing for the first time at home in more than three months and for the first time this postseason.

Game 3 is Saturday in Memphis.

Hawks 106, Wizards 90 ATLANTA — DeMarre Carroll scored 22 points, Kyle Korver bounced back from a miserable first half and top-seeded Atlanta held off the Washington, taking advantage of John Wall’s absence to even the Eastern Conference semifinals at one game apiece.

Wall, who finished out the series opener with an injured left hand, was a surprising scratch just before Game 2, shortly after the Wizards insisted he would play. Ramon Sessions did an admirable job filling in, leading his team with 21 points, but Washington lost for the first time in these playoffs.

Korver went 1-for-7 from the 3-point line in the first half but kept firing away. He made three 3s after the break, including one from the corner with just under 3 minutes remaining that gave the Hawks a 98-88 lead after Washington had hit consecutive jumpers.

on Lakeside’s side of the field for the better part of five minutes, but came up empty-handed.

And when Lakeside finally got the ball back, it added three more goals within a span of less than four minutes.

“We won the draws and we didn’t have a lot of turnovers so we were able to execute on attack pretty well,” Lakeside head coach Jamie Asaka said. “We had the most possession time and controlled the tempo.”

Snohomish’s Hannah Graves finally got her team on the scoreboard with 6:19 to play in the first half, cutting the deficit to 8-1.

Lakeside answered the goal with two of its own to push the lead up to 10-1. Snohomish’s Helen Bouchard scored as time expired in the first half to make the halftime score 10-2.

Bouchard’s late goal seemed to ignite her teammates early in the second half as Snohomish scored the first four goals to cut the deficit to 10-6.

Snohomish’s run was aided when Lakeside’s senior captain Lindsey Call was called for her second yellow card of the game, which by rule results in a red card and the player is unable to return to the game.

“I think we were emotionally a little rattled by that,” Asaka said. “We had to make some adjustments

on the draw and I think once the girls kind of figured out that Lindsey isn’t going to be here and they had to step up, they did.”

Snohomish scored seven of the first eight goals in the second half to get as close as 11-8 with 11:08 to play in the game.

“When we finally started getting the ball in the net it helped out,” Ryan said.

“The second half was probably the best half we’ve played all season just in terms of really digging deep and actually fighting back.”

Snohomish relies on Graves for much of its offense, but Lakeside held her to just two goals for the game.

haven’t really seen that done successfully. We’ve seen it attempted, but not done successfully all season. When they were able to do it successfully I think it kind of threw the girls for a loop a little bit.”

After Snohomish got within three, Lakeside put the game away with three straight unassisted goals

by Amanda Roper.

“She actually came off the field for a little 30-second get-my-headin-the-game kind of moment,” Asaka said. “I said, ‘look Amanda, Lindsey is out and you’ve got to collect yourself and put the team on your shoulders.’

And she just did — it was awesome.”

Roper finished the game with five goals and one assist.

we managed to squeak a few through.”

Long led the Knights, going 2-for-4 in the game.

Long and his teammates will spend Wednesday practicing and rooting for Mount Vernon and Jackson to be victorious.

“We just want to keep playing,” Nickerson said.

“We need either Lake Stevens or Monroe to lose, or both. ... We’re going to practice. We’re going to come out and practice. We believe in working hard and seeing what happens. We’ll wait and see.”

Austin Pinorini went 2-for-2 with a double, run scored, two walks and two stolen bases to lead Cascade, which “could be anywhere from third to sixth” in the final league standings, according to Stencil. “(Pinorini’s) been huge,” the Cascade coach said.

“He’s our catcher but he’s very athletic — he can pitch, he can close, he can play outfield. He’s starting to get his swing really locked in right now. We put him in the leadoff spot to try to get him an extra at bat and he’s done a great job there getting on base.”

There was significant rain for the first few innings of the game, but the weather calmed down for the second half of the contest.

After the loss, Stencil told his team to work on getting better as the Bruins prepare for their district opener at 1 p.m. Saturday. Due to the craziness of the Wesco 4A standings, Cascade doesn’t yet know who — or where — it will play.

“Our biggest thing is competition,” Stencil said. “We want to compete with each other for the next three days and try to get better and be ready to play hopefully our best game on Saturday, whoever the opponent may be (and) wherever the game may be.”

Both Lake Stevens and Monroe had their games rained out on Tuesday and rescheduled for Wednesday.

The Vikings take on Jackson (7-6, 9-10) and Monroe faces Mount Vernon (8-5, 12-7).

If one of either Lake Stevens or Monroe lose, it will be eliminated and Kamiak will earn the final playoff berth.

If both Lake Stevens and Monroe lose, there will be a three-way tie for the final two playoff spots, resulting in a tiebreaker that will consist of three-inning games to be played later this week.

The Knights did their part, getting a needed win against Cascade (7-7, 8-11) to stay in the hunt.

“You’ve got to tip your caps to them,” said Cascade head coach Scott Stencil. “They did a great job. They were in a do-or-die game. They had to win and they were able to get just enough timely hits to get it done.”

The “Home” Bruins struck first with a run in the bottom of the first thanks to an RBI single by Matthew Butler.

The Knights tied the score in the top of the fourth when Ty Crosby was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, scoring Andrew Pitts.

Jake Long put Kamiak ahead in the fifth inning with an RBI single and the Knights added another run on a wild pitch to build a 3-1 lead.

Cascade closed to within one with a sacrifice fly

by Michael Carter in the sixth inning but the Bruins couldn’t get the tying run across the plate.

“It was a well-played game,” Nickerson said. “(Monday against Cascade) we had a few more extra-base hits. (Tuesday) we got guys on and we kind of struggled to get that one that would open it up. But

The Mariners’ Brad Miller, who was the starting shortstop, began taking outfield drills on Monday and has been switched to a utility role.

M’s Miller frustrated by shift to utility role

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Brad Miller admits he isn’t happy at the Seattle Mariners’ emerging plan to shift him from duty as a full-time shortstop into a super utility role.

“They just told me I won’t be playing short,” he said. “I’ll be playing other spots. Just kind of go from there. I was pretty frustrated, but I’m a player. I go out and play. They make the decisions.”

The Mariners’ signaled the change Monday by recalling shortstop Chris Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma. Miller began taking outfield drills prior to Monday’s 3-2 victory in the series opener.

“My vision is to see him as a Ben Zobrist-type of player,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “We’ll see. This is not etched in stone. This is something we’re trying, and we’ll see how it goes.”

The Zobrist comparison didn’t appear to ease the sting for Miller.

“He’s a great player,” Miller

said, “and he’s invaluable, but I wouldn’t want to pigeonhole myself to anything. I’m 25 years old. I’m still young in my career.

Yes, a player who can play a lot of positions is very valuable.

“But also, a player who is an All-Star shortstop is very valuable. That’s kind of how I look at it. I don’t think you can compare yourself to anybody.”

Whatever his disappointment, Miller said he is committed to working hard to master his new role.

“I’m a professional,” he said, “and this is my job. They’re my boss. If they say ‘do this,’ that’s what I do. It’s pretty simple from that (perspective). You’ve just got to be a professional about it.”

For now, it appears Miller will concentrate on playing the outfield, but McClendon envisions a player who can play all four infield positions as well.

“When you talk about putting a club together,” McClendon said, “one thing any manager would love to have is a super utility guy who can play a lot of different positions, hit lefthanded and has power.

“He certainly fits that mold.”

Outfield coach Andy Van Slyke, for now, plans simply to observe Miller during pregame workouts.

“I sort of equate it to watching a pony being born,” Van Slyke said. “You’ve got to watch them run before you can train them. What I’m doing is just letting him do his thing right now and see how he reacts.

“I don’t know what he does correct or incorrect yet. I’m going to let him do what he does naturally first. If there’s no correction, then he’s a born outfielder.”

McClendon believes the switch could unlock Miller’ potential as a hitter.

“I played the infield,” McClendon said, “and when I went to the outfield, the game slowed down considerably and, as a result, I became a better offensive player.

“I think this will help Brad as well. It’s probably difficult to see right now, but playing the outfield may have its advantages for him. I think he’s talented enough to (play several positions).”

Did baseball writers motivate Hernandez?

Did members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America do the Mariners a favor by not choosing Felix Hernandez as last year’s Cy Young Award winner?

Flip back to last Nov. 12 and Hernandez’s words shortly after the BBWAA enraged Mariners’ fans by choosing Cleveland’s Corey Kluber as the Cy Young winner.

“I don’t know what to say,” Hernandez said. “That was tough. I’m a little disappointed, but you know what? It just gives me more motivation to work harder and to be better next year.”

That seemed a high goal after a season in which Hernandez went 15-6 with a league-leading 2.14 ERA and set a record with 16 consecutive starts of pitching at least seven innings and allowing two or fewer runs.

But… Hernandez is 5-0 for the first time in his career after holding the Angels to one run over seven innings in Monday’s 3-1 victory. He also has a 1.73 ERA through six starts (and he handed over a lead in his only no-decision).

A year ago through six starts, Hernandez was 3-1 with a 2.40 ERA. Wilhelmsen Progressing Reliever Tom Wilhelmsen is scheduled to take the next step Wednesday in his recovery from a hyperextended right elbow by pitching a simulated game (facing hitters under game-like conditions).

Wilhelmsen experienced no problems last weekend in Houston while throwing from a mound in bullpen workouts. Barring any setbacks, he remains on schedule for a mid-May return to active duty.

That changed after reliever Joe Smith, with a 2-1 lead, replaced Richards to start the eighth inning.

Robinson Cano led off with a double to deep center and went to third on Nelson Cruz’s slow grounder to third.

Kyle Seager tied the game by pulling a ground single through the right side of a shortened infield before Logan Morrison lined a single to center for his third hit of the night.

Struggling Mike Zunino then sent a slicing drive to deep right that hopped over the wall for an RBI double. The Mariners led 3-2.

Fernando Salas replaced Smith, and Dustin Ackley sent a fly to short left. Collin Cowgill made a running catch, but Morrison tagged and scored.

Paxton put the Mariners in a quick 2-0 hole by grooving a 3-0 fastball to Pujols with one out and one out in the first inning.

Pujols didn’t miss it, which continued a disturbing trend.

It was the fifth homer yielded this year by Paxton, at this point, in 272⁄3 innings.

The Mariners answered in the second inning after Morrison pulled a one-out double into the right-field corner.

Zunino followed with a single to center, and third-base coach Rich Donnelly challenged Trout by waving home Morrison. Trout made a strong throw, but Morrison beat it.

Zunino took second on the

throw, but Richards limited the damage to one run by retiring Ackley on a pop to short and Chris Taylor on a foul pop to first.

Another Morrison one-out double provided the Mariners with an opportunity in the fourth. He moved to third on Zunino’s grounder to second, but Ackley’s grounder to first ended the inning.

Paxton nearly gave up another two-run homer to Cron in the fourth, but Ackley

grabbed it high against the leftfield wall.

The Mariners had another chance in loading the bases in the sixth inning.

Cano led off with a single and went to second on a wild pitch.

Richards issued an intentional two-out walk to Morrison but hit Zunino with the next pitch.

Ackley worked the count to 3-0...and then took three strikes. He is hitless this season in 15 at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Lowe’s role Look for just-promoted Mark Lowe to function as a one-inning reliever.

“I think he’s flexible enough to go multiple innings,” McClendon said, “but I don’t foresee that happening.”

The Mariners selected Lowe’s contract from Tacoma prior to Monday’s game after clearing space on their 40-man roster by placing Rainiers outfielder Julio Morban on the restricted list.

Lowe, 31, is a nine-year veteran who returned last December to the Mariners by signing a minor-league contract. He opened the season at Tacoma, where he allowed one run in nine innings over seven outings.

Tracking the boomstick The average distance of Nelson Cruz’s 14 homers, according to ESPN’s Home Run Tracker, is 398.9 feet. He also has four homers of 425 feet or farther.

Cruz entered Tuesday leading the majors with 11 game-winning RBI and 14 go-ahead RBI. Seven of his 14 homers have given the Mariners on top.

Eleven of Cruz’s 14 homers have been with the bases empty.

Former Seattle tight end Carlson retires at age 30 Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals tight end John Carlson has announced his retirement from football.

In a statement released by the team, Carlson said that after “much thought and consideration,” he and his wife Danielle decided this was the best decision.

The 6-foot-5, 248-pound Carlson played seven NFL seasons with Seattle,

Minnesota and Arizona.

He had a history of concussions before signing with the Cardinals last offseason.

With Arizona, Carlson played in 16 games, 12 as a starter, catching 33 passes for 350 yards and a touchdown.

A second-round draft pick by the Seahawks out of Notre Dame in 2008, Carlson played in 90 games, with 210 catches for 2,256 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Seahawks From Page C1

The Seattle Times and KING-5 television on Tuesday presented separate stories that did what the Seahawks acknowledge they did not do: interview witnesses other than the Michigan pass rusher to the incident in a hotel room outside Sandusky, Ohio, in November, on a Saturday night of a Wolverines bye weekend.

Those witness stories contradict the assertions of Clark and the Seahawks that the player did not strike the alleged victim, his then-20-year-old girlfriend.

In a front-page story published Tuesday, the Times wrote what The News Tribune reported Friday night, hours after Seattle chose Clark in the second round with the 63rd overall pick: the ugly details of the report from the Perkins Township Police Department in Northwest Ohio, about an hour south of the Michigan campus. Those details included witnesses’ accounts and photographs depicting cuts, scrapes, broken lamp shades and Clark left with a chunk of skin missing from his nose.

The Times also interviewed two witnesses who had been staying in the room next door and called 9-1-1 over the distressing sounds coming from the room inhabited by Clark, the alleged victim and others. The Times reported one of those witnesses saw the alleged victim lying on her hotel-room floor nearly unconscious and “definitely beat up...like she was knocked out.”

The Times report also stated: “The Seahawks issued a statement saying the team conducted ‘confidential interviews with people directly involved with the case.’

“But other than Clark, the statement added, the team did not ‘speak directly to any witnesses from that night.’

“The team’s investigation ‘provided our organization with an in-depth understanding of the situation and background,’ the statement said.”

USA Today, ESPN and Deadspin are among the latest national outlets to criticize the Seahawks for drafting Clark.

Domestic violence has been a problem and issue for the NFL over its handling in the last year of cases such as the one involving then-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. Rice was shown on a New Jersey hotel surveillance video striking his fiancée to the ground in an elevator. The league’s slow and what many saw as tepid response to that has haunted the NFL since — to the point commissioner Roger Goodell last fall established a task force that includes experts on domestic violence and that of sexual assault.

Seattle general manager John Schneider said Friday the team did not need to get any sort of league clearance to select the pass rusher some teams reportedly had dropped from their draft boards because of Clark’s arrest.

Schneider said Seahawks personnel did talk to more than just the player, to counselors who have worked with both Clark and his alleged victim. Schneider said those counselors told the team the alleged victim corroborated Clark’s account that he did not hit her.

Asked Friday if anyone from the team had spoken directly to the alleged victim, Schneider said: “No, I did not. No, nobody in our organization did specifically, but you can get to those things. She was interviewed by specific people. ...We interviewed the counselors who were involved with the two of them.”

Coach Pete Carroll, sitting next to his GM Friday night at team headquarters, added: “She collaborated to the way the case was handled at the end in a supportive fashion.

That was clear.”

Schneider said the Seahawks weren’t alone at the bottom of Friday’s second round in wanting to draft Clark.

“There were a number of teams,” Schneider said. “Quite frankly, it was very hairy in whether or not he was going to get to us. Everybody knew it was going to be this area where everybody is going to be comfortable selecting Frank. But no, there was no specific approval by the NFL for Frank. There are a number of players in this draft, starting pretty high, that have been scrutinized.

“I think it was a process. The most interesting thing is that I was there (at the Michigan campus in Ann Arbor) two days after it happened, so our area guy went through there twice. Ed Dodds, our regional scout, went through there twice and went back and spent several days there.

Like I said, the easiest thing to do is completely dismiss this. I think over time things became clearer and clearer as things built up through the evaluation process. We brought him out here, too, and met with our sports psychologist, and like I said, it was very extensive and built over time.”

When Carroll was asked Friday if he was worried about the perception of drafting Clark, the coach said: “We are concerned, of course we are. We are very sensitive to that.

That’s why we had to do such a thorough job and understand what was at hand so we could clearly come to the right decision.

“Every guy is an individual case and that’s why our guys did such a thorough job and that our guys came to the conclusion and give this man the opportunity that he will come through and that it was a good decision. We would not have done this — we would not have gotten to this point, realizing there is going to be the questions and the scrutiny — if we didn’t know we were doing the right thing.”

There is widespread dismay from fans with how the team is being portrayed because of its investigation and drafting of Clark. But this issue is going to be with Clark as his Seahawks career begins.

The Seahawks didn’t have to have domestic violence as part of its post-draft discussion. They didn’t have to have it as a new issue in a locker room that was already incorporating a new star in recently acquired tight end Jimmy Graham and is still getting over a bitter, controversial, lastplay loss in February’s Super Bowl.

But after deciding to draft Clark, that’s what they have now.

Traditional, high-end dining at Hong Kong Yoshi

F

irst-dates, family dinners, team celebrations and company lunches — despite cultural differences, humans around the world bond through food and communicate over the table. Everett residents seeking a traditional and high-end dining experience close to home, are now able to frequent Hong Kong Yoshi Buffet, where Japanese sushi and Chinese Dim Sum join forces.

The buffet opened on April 1 and Vincent, the manager, said everyone is surprised at the elegance offered within the restaurant. Hong Kong Yoshi is luxurious enough for a date night but it is also family friendly.

“We are a high-end buffet.

The restaurant looks really nice. We are thinking of a totally different selection of food for this kind of customer,” Vincent said. “Our customers want a higher quality buffet with a lot of fresh sushi but don’t want to go to Northgate or Seattle. We have four or five sushi chefs every day and serve wine and beer too.”

The menu includes an abundance of seafood options.

Dim Sum, sushi and sashimi are served all day and lobster is served on the weekends.

Hong Kong Yoshi specializes in authentic cuisine, but Americanized food is also available for the less adventurous. Orange chicken, BBQ ribs, sandwiches and dessert cakes

sticky rice, and then slicing it into bite-size wheels. Like Dim Sum, this technique makes it easy to share with friends and experience different types of sushi during the same meal.

In addition to the commonly known sushi rolls, Hong Kong Yoshi serves sashimi. Sashimi is a type of sushi that is presented as attractively sliced fish — either cooked or raw — on a bed of garnishing. Sushi is typically served cold and very fresh, due to the delicate nature of the ingredients used.

All Hong Kong Yoshi menu items are prepared on site at the restaurant with quality ingredients, pride and experience. The owner, Chen, has managed buffets for more than 20 years and Vincent worked with him for four years before they decided to move forward with Hong Kong Yoshi.

Buffet prices are intended to reflect affordability for families, but maintain the quality their patrons expect.

Reservations are accepted but not required for dinner tables on a small scale. Larger events and gatherings are welcome with advanced notice. A private room is available for up to 30 guests and a larger room can be reserved for up to 300 guests.

Hong Kong Yoshi Japanese Buffet is located at 8104-A Evergreen Way in Everett. For reservations, current pricing and hours of operation, please call 425-353-6888.

Dim Sum is a selection of small dumplings, rolls and buns with varied fillings. It traditionally hails from China and the small helpings were originally served as casual snacks accompanied by tea.

However, as popularity grew, Dim Sum has evolved into a meal of its own. Sample as many treasure-filled pastry pockets as you like and share with others at your table if you don’t enjoy one of the dumplings you chose. Varieties include steamed, baked and fried, chicken, shrimp, pork, rice, noodles and herbs, as well as many others. Tiny tarts and sponge cakes usually accompany Dim Sum for dessert.

Sushi is of Japanese origin and consists of cold, rolled rice with various other ingredients.

Most people think of sushi as raw fish and are therefor hesitant to try it. While it’s true that uncooked seafood is often times used, it’s not always the case. Many of the raw ingredients are first processed through pickling, blanching or a sake soak, but if that still leaves you squeamish, rest assured that other sushi rolls feature cooked meat and vegetables. Garnishments such as ginger, soy sauce and wasabi are often enjoyed with it. Sushi, as we typically recognize it here in the States, is made by rolling the ingredients into a long cylinder with

ettling down with a fragrant cup of hot tea is among my top daily pleasures. Brewing a cup of tea is a ritual that feels relaxed and familiar. You can’t hurry the process, each step takes the time it takes.

Recently a new book coaxed me to explore tea not as a beverage but as an everyday recipe ingredient. At first the concept of recipes with tea seemed strange, but the nuance of each variety has so much flavor to offer. It now seems like the sky is the limit for ways to cook with tea.

Last year I learned a friend of mine, Annelies Zijderveld, was finishing up a cookbook of recipes all featuring tea. I was so excited to read her ideas to take my favorite flavors from cup to plate. I also knew I would be ordering a copy for my mom, a life-long tea drinker. Zijderveld’s book, “Steeped: Recipes Infused with Tea,” came out last month and it is a joy to thumb through.

Written with the home cook in mind, they are easy to follow and use mostly familiar ingredients.

She has included savory and sweet recipes for every meal of the day.

After ordering copies of the book, for myself and to share, I learned Zijderveld was bringing her book tour to Seattle and leading a cooking class at The Pantry in Ballard. I was lucky to snag the final two spots in the class

— Pantry classes are small and fill extremely fast — and was able to treat Mom to a new cookbook and a night out.

We had a great time previewing the book’s recipes. In the class we were able to try both cooking and baking with tea. Our teainfused menu included samples of sweet tea jelly (made with English Breakfast), and hands on experience making chamomile

buttermilk pudding (Buh-bye boxes! Who knew homemade pudding was so simple?), spinach salad with masala chai maple pecans (those chai pecans will have people doubling up on their greens), and green tea sesame shortbread cookies (bright green and perfect to pair with, yep, a cup of tea). I enjoyed everything we tried, but the recipe that blew my mind to the possibilities of

Punch up brunch with these egg dishes

By Lee Svitak Dean Star Tribune

For this cook, the real star of the brunch table is the simple egg.

Here are a couple of egg dishes to update your culinary repertoire because you will need them this season, when brunches pop up like tulips or, well, dandelions.

Go out of the box and into the muffin tin by baking eggs with bacon and asparagus. Or combine spinach, asparagus and ricotta in a tart just made to be topped with an egg for each.

Both of these will make your message clear at the table: a simple good morning to all.

Baked eggs with asparagus and bacon Butter for the pan 8 eggs 8 strips cooked bacon 6 green asparagus spears, cut into large pieces Salt and black pepper Chile sauce for serving, optional Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Crack an egg in every cup and add 1 slice of cooked bacon. Distribute the asparagus in the cups. Season with salt and pepper, and bake in the middle of the oven for 15 to 17 minutes.

Serve the eggs warm and, preferably, with a good chile sauce.

cooking with tea was a simple tomato soup.

Smoky tomato soup is made with a broth of lapsang souchong tea. This variety was new to me.

I stuck my nose over the leaves and breathed in a scent unlike any tea I have encountered before. The leaves are smoked over fir tree roots giving them a shockingly distinct campfire aroma. Honestly, I am not sure

I would want to drink it, though many do, but cook with it? Oh, heck yes!

Imagine keeping a small pouch of loose leaves in your cupboard so any time a recipe calls for broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable) you simply scoop a few out and brew them up. In little more than the time it takes to See TEA, Page D2

Star L.A. chef shares taco secrets

By Russ Parsons Los Angeles Times

When Wes Avila was interviewing for a job at Le Comptoir, Gary Menes’ temple of vegetable cookery, Menes asked him what his ultimate career goal was.

“To be the best taquero in Los Angeles,” Avila replied.

And while it’s impossible to say who is the best taco cook in this city of splendid taco cooks, only a few years after working for Menes, the 35-year-old Pico Rivera, California, native is just about guaranteed to be on any knowledgeable shortlist.

His Guerrilla Tacos truck, now 3 years old, serves compelling dishes that are equal in complexity to those at many fine-dining restaurants, even though they’re served on warm tortillas and eaten standing up.

In Guerrilla’s first year, Avila’s taco made with roasted squash, Oaxacan cheese, a hint of chile and smoky charred tomato made Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold’s list of best dishes of 2013.

Cooking with Avila at the Glendale condo he shares with wife, Tanya Mueller, a professor at East Los Angeles College, and their French bulldog mix, Pono Dog, that blend of French technique and Eastside soul is obvious.

I have already repeated the smoky tomato soup for my family. To increase the heartiness, and make the soup an entree rather than a light course, I added ½ cup of dried ROSE MCAVOY Annelies Zijderveld’s new French book, “Steeped: Recipes lentils and simmered Infused with Tea,” uses the soup tea to make favorite for 10 extra dishes. minutes then served each bowl with scoop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of feta cheese.

The new but oddly familiar flavors were a huge hit. Mike was shocked at the amount of depth the tea gave to the soup. My toddler ate three helpings and even our increasingly fussy 5 year old admitted it was “pretty good.”

I can see so many possibilities for using tea broth in cooking. It could easily become the next greatest asset to the flavor driven home cook.

he inspiration for so many of my recipes starts with a craving.

This time it was a hankering for fried chicken — the kind with a crisp, crunchy coating that flakes just enough when you bite into it and gives way to moist, tender and fulfilling meatiness inside; chicken that is heavenly served hot just after it’s cooked, but that also can be the centerpiece of an idyllic picnic when chilled and put out on paper plates set on a gingham cloth.

This baked chicken is all of that, and healthful to boot. It has the enticing textures and savory appeal of fried, but with no greasiness involved.

To start, the chicken is marinated in yogurt that’s seasoned with Dijon mustard, a simple step that serves a few purposes: It gives the coating something to adhere to so you don’t need to fuss with a flourand-egg dip; it provides a layer of moisture that helps keep the chicken juicy; and the yogurt’s gentle acidity acts as a tenderizer for the meat.

Then you coat the chicken in a mixture of crushed cornflake cereal that’s flavored with paprika, garlic, salt and a touch of ground

Swirl in the oil to coat. Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Add the bell pepper and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the tea, water, and the liquid from the tomatoes. With your hands, break up the tomatoes over the pot and drop them in. Stir in the salt, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Turn the heat up to medium and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle shredded Parmesan in a thin, even layer on the pan. Polka dot the cheese with the thyme leaves. Bake for 18 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and baked through. Cool for about 10 minutes and snap into segments.

Salt and black pepper ⁄2 bunch green asparagus 3 to 4 eggs Cut the butter into cubes.

Quickly work together the butter, flours, cottage cheese and salt, either in a food processor or by hand in a bowl, until pea-sized clumps form. Add 11⁄2 teaspoons water and work together quickly into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic and cool in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a disk about 1⁄8 inch thick.

Add more flour to the surface as you roll so that the dough doesn’t stick. Line a 9-inch tart pan or springform pan with the dough. Be sure to press the dough gently along the bottom edge and pinch a little at the top of the side edges. Cut away the excess pie dough that may be hanging over the sides.

Chop the garlic and place in a bowl. Add the ricotta and blend together with the spinach, parsley and 2⁄3 of the grated cheese.

Season with salt and pepper and distribute the filling evenly in the pie shell. Break off the tough parts of the asparagus. Spread the asparagus lengthwise over the ricotta mixture and lightly press it into the mixture. Crack the eggs over the filling, season with salt and pepper, and top with the rest of the grated cheese.

Secrets of great tacos

browned slices of creamy Oaxacan or panela cheese, a slice of roasted Japanese sweet potato that’s been fried in butter, a salsa made with almonds, pine nuts, chiles de arbol and tomatillos (the small ones, called milpero, have the best flavor, he says), crumbled feta and green onions.

The result is rich, mouth-filling flavor, at once creamy, salty, sweet and spicy, with an equally wide range of textures. It’s stupendous. And once the various elements have been prepped, all it takes is a couple of minutes and a griddle to finish. You could serve it as a taco, but it’s pretty enough to make a plated appetizer.

What does it take to make a great taco? Guerrilla Tacos’ Wes Avila says it comes down to crunch and balance.

“They have to have a mix of textures,” he says.

“I don’t like one-dimensional. You want crunch meets soft. In my farmers market quesadillas, there are sauteed vegetables, Oaxacan cheese, then something fried for extra crunch, and raw arugula.”

The same goes for flavor.

“You want layers of flavor too,” Avila says. “If you’re doing something braised, you want something sharp, like pickled onions or radishes or marinated cabbage.”

⁄2 to 1 habanero pepper, split lengthwise 2 tablespoons pine nuts 3 tablespoons sliced almonds 1 pound small tomatillos, rinsed and peeled 2 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise 1 cup water Salt 2 to 21⁄2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Char the bell pepper over a burner or under a broiler until it is well-blackened on all sides. Wrap in a plastic bag and set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel and seed the pepper. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chiles de arbol and habanero and toast until fragrant, about 3 minutes; toward the end of toasting, add the pine nuts and almonds and toast until fragrant.

Add the tomatillos, tomatoes, water and ¾ teaspoon salt, and cook over high heat until the tomatillos are tender, about 5 minutes.

Puree in a blender until smooth, add the red wine vinegar and adjust seasoning. The salsa should be thick enough to generously coat the back of a spoon. This makes about 1 quart of salsa. It will keep, covered tightly, in the refrigerator for a week.

1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Whisk together the yogurt and mustard in bowl, then transfer to a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the chicken and seal, pressing as much air out of the bag as possible.

Massage to make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Process the cornflakes in a food processor to the consistency of coarse crumbs (or place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin). You should wind up with 11⁄2 to 2 cups of crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish and mix in the paprika, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.

Press each piece of marinated chicken into the crumb mixture, making sure it’s evenly coated all over, then place on the baking sheet. Lightly spray each piece of chicken with the olive oil cooking spray.

Discard any remaining marinade.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the chicken is crisp and cooked through; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat (away from the bone) should register 165 degrees.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 4 servings.

cayenne pepper. Cornflakes are ideal because they are already toasted and crisp, so you don’t have to rely on the oven alone to get that essential crunchy-flaky texture.

The corn also has a slightly sweet undertone that nicely counterbalances the savory spices and kick from the cayenne. Any brand of regular (not sugar-coated) cornflakes will work, but I prefer to use the whole-grain, unsweetened kind you typically find in an organic or health-food store.

A quick spray of olive oil covers the chicken evenly and easily before it is baked so it browns up perfectly.

DAILY CROSSWORD

GRANDPARENTING

To see grandkids, mend fences with mom

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: The next time I see my grandchildren will be the first time. I have never held them or heard them laugh. I have never rocked them or read them a bedtime story. I have never baked them my famous cookies. I grieve beyond anything you can imagine.

Grandchildren weren’t going to be the icing on my cake. They were the whole cake.

This came about because I told my daughter the truth. She was running around on her husband while he was on tours of duty in the Middle East. She claims he “deserted” her. That’s bunk. He was serving his country. After I called her on it, she shut me off.

Now they are divorced and she has custody.

The way I see, I have two options. I can come crawling on my knees and tell her she was right all along and I was wrong. Or I can contact my grandchildren down the road when they’re independent and hope for the best.

Grandparents pay a terrible price when they offend the parents of their grandchildren. Got any good advice?

— L.D., Seattle Dear L.D.: Heartache is felt all up and down the family tree when grandparents alienate their adult children. Grandparents can become totally excluded, as you and countless others are dismayed to discover. But grandchildren are also penalized, robbed of the affection and company of their grandparents. There’s no sidestepping the fact that parents are indisputably the gatekeepers of the grandparent-grandchild relationship.

And when parents bar the door, it can remain closed indefinitely since it’s unilateral and perfectly legal — a parental prerogative.

Hundreds of scenarios can produce parental alienation, but most occur in a predictable handful of ways. Yours is one, wherein a grandparent is estranged from an adult child. Grandparents estranged from son-in-laws/ daughters-in-law can produce the same result. Sometimes the adult child is deceased or otherwise out of the picture, and the surviving parent refuses to grant access.

Finally, one or both parents may be estranged or alienated from his/her child and are unable to grant access to a grandparent.

Making matters worse is the absence of any closure. The grandchild is physically alive but out of reach, and continues to live on in the hearts and minds of grieving grandparents. As the waiting continues, a grandparental dream of becoming reunited with a grandchild can die many deaths.

What can be done? Waiting until a grandchild attains independence is no guarantee of satisfaction.

By that time, the alienated parent may have thoroughly convinced the grandchild that the grandparent is completely evil. Try instead to repair your relationship your daughter. Don’t fool yourself into believing the gatekeeper doesn’t understand your real motive in making nice. She’s been expecting you.

Soap opera should be canceled, not renewed Dear Abby: My boyfriend of 10 years, “Scott,” and I separated last year. I was pregnant and hormonal at the time, and told him we would never get back together. We went a month without contact, then reconnected.

While Scott was in the process of working things out with me, he had a girlfriend. He made it seem like not a big deal, but apparently it was more serious. He told her she was the love of his life and he didn’t want to lose her, etc. When our daughter was born five months later, he told me he was done with the other woman.

They talked for a month after our baby arrived and then he cut her off.

I recently found some old messages between them, and my heart shattered all over again. Scott says it was all a joke and he never meant any of it.

The text messages imply otherwise.

I don’t know if I should take another break to clear my head, or wait until my heartache passes. Please help. — Emotional In The South Dear Emotional: If you were convinced that Scott has been completely honest, I doubt you would have searched his message history. As to his relationship with the other woman being a “joke,” I doubt she was laughing when — after hearing she was the love of his life and he didn’t want to lose her — he announced it was over.

You appear to like drama. You brought this on when you told Scott the two of you would “never” reconcile. I do think you should take a break until you are less emotional, because the choices you have made so far haven’t been entirely rational.

Dear Abby: I live on soft drinks. I don’t eat real food.

I can’t remember the last time I ate a hot meal, much less vegetables. I exist solely on massive amounts of soda — two two-liter bottles a day. If I put food in my stomach, it’s usually bread or candy.

I don’t binge and purge.

Because I’m never hungry, I don’t look at it as starving myself. The last time I tried to get off the soda I got sick to my stomach, light-headed and felt out of sorts. I don’t know if I’m addicted to the caffeine, the sugar or both. I want to be able to go to a restaurant on a date and eat like a normal person.

I don’t know what to do or how to do it. This liquid diet is slowly killing me and I need help. I have expressed my concerns to my doctors and even my therapist. I don’t think they believe me or understand the extent of my problem.

What would you suggest? — Stuck In South Carolina Dear Stuck: It appears you have an eating disorder. Because your doctor and your therapist both seem unable to understand that and help you, consider replacing them. You should also consult a licensed nutritionist who is a registered dietitian (R.D.).

Notable new recordings we heard in April.

1. Young Thug, “Barter 6”: This Atlanta insurgent continues to forge his own language out of smeared syllables and electric pockets of dead air. How he wrangles it all into the shape of rap music remains the most intoxicating pop mystery of right now.

2. High Risk, “Molten Sunset” and “Cardinals”: Even the most violent wallops of sound feel dreamy on the excellent forthcoming album from High Risk, a mutant jazz quartet featuring trumpeter Dave Douglas and electronic producer Shigeto. The full-length itself lands in June, but its bookends — “Molten Sunset” and “Cardinals” — are streamable online.

Consider them a head start.

3. Speedy Ortiz, “Foil Deer”: There are two reasons to fuss over Sadie Dupuis’ lyric book. 1. It’s filled with fuss-worthy lyrics about the rot and bloom of human relationships. 2.

The strange crash-andswing that she and her bandmates in Speedy Ortiz manage to conjure with guitars and drums is just as easy to admire

but much harder to pin down with, y’know, words.

4. Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen, “Hold My Beer Vol. 1”: Bromance springs eternal at our multiplexes, so why not on our country music radiowaves? On their new album of duets, these formidable Texas troubadours are having too much fun to ask the question outright.

5. Dwight Yoakam, “Second Hand Heart”: If there is an actual crossroads between country music and rock ’n’ roll, you’ll find this man standing there, comfortably posted up in his too-small jeans and too-big hat, ready to convince you that you’re actually visiting this place for the first time.

6. Ronnie Reno and the Reno Tradition, “Lessons Learned”: This veteran singer, songwriter, bluegrass maestro and Merle Haggard tour-buddy presents himself as a traditionalist concerned with the more brutal facts of life.

And, like Hag, he can make the heaviest truths sound light.

NEW YORK — From Salvador Dali’s turn on “What’s My Line?” to a dreamy, cherry-topped ice cream sundae thought up by Andy Warhol for a restaurant commercial, modern art indelibly influenced early television.

In a new exhibit, “Revolution of the Eye,” the Jewish Museum in New York and its curator, Maurice Berger, travel back to the birth of TV, delving into most every crevice for connections to the art world through more than 260 objects, artifacts and clips.

There’s innovator Rod Serling, who clashed often with network executives over “The Twilight Zone,” Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson — aka Batman and Robin — debating the elitism of the avantgarde on “Batman,” and the iconic eye logo of CBS, inspired by the hex symbol on Shaker barns.

They’re joined by “Winky Dink and You,” the CBS Saturday morning show that had kids drawing on TV screens via vinyl transparencies in the first ingenious attempt at interactivity in 1953. And there’s Barbra Streisand romping through the Philadelphia Museum of Art in a CBS musical special that showed off the network’s new all-color, prime-time lineup in 1966.

“It’s an excited, open, anything-goes moment that allowed these two communities to come together,” Berger said during a media preview ahead of the exhibit’s opening last week.

“In early television, in the ‘50s and ‘60s, there were no conventions. The
