EVERETT — The Great Recession brought down many community banks, including six local ones burdened with bad debt from loans to real estate developers.

City Bank in Lynnwood and Frontier Bank in Everett were among the local institutions shut down by federal regulators. While they were closed and had their assets sold years ago, litigation from the aftermath lingers in federal courts.

In 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation filed professional liability lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Seattle against leaders of both banks.

Two years later, the FDIC has reached a multimillion dollar settlement with two former City Bank executives. At the same time, the agency is getting ready to take a dozen former Frontier executives and board members to trial in early 2016.

Both lawsuits were based on allegations that the defendants ignored their own banks’ respective lending policies and basic common sense when they signed off on questionable loans to real estate developers, even as the market was flailing.

EVERETT — Amid the whoops and cheers, the news of everyday life is shared.

On Monday morning, it included the marriage of a daughter, an update from a doctor’s appointment and the passing of a friend.

This particular gathering started at 9 a.m. with coffee, tea and small white plates of lemon meringue pie.

Letter From Page A1

“We hope that all firefighters and paramedics of the Marysville Fire District will continue to take comfort and pride in knowing that they provided the greatest possible care in their valiant efforts to save young lives following this terrible tragedy,” the May 7 letter said.

The Marysville firefighters union, Local 3219, recently asked for an apology from UW Medicine.

The Local appreciated the letter, said spokesman Dean Shelton, a Marysville fire captain and paramedic.

Crews who treated the teens that day still are reeling from the experience.

Second-guessing didn’t help, he said.

“Ultimately it’s time for our members to start to heal,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that statements made back in October, out of carelessness, led to more pain.”

Interim Fire Chief Martin McFalls shared the letter with his crews. As of Monday evening, he was writing his response.

The sprawling UW Medicine system includes Harborview Medical Center and Airlift Northwest, a helicopter ambulance company.

The letter was signed

by Johnese Spisso, who is UW Medicine’s chief health system officer; Dr. Eileen Bulger, who is Harborview’s chief of trauma;

Chris Martin, who oversees Airlift Northwest; and Dr. Richard Utarnachitt, the medical director of Airlift Northwest.

Spisso, Bulger and Martin all took part in UW Medicine email chains last fall that disparaged the decision to take gravely wounded teens via ambulance to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett instead of waiting for helicopters to transport all the victims to Harborview, the state’s sole Level 1 trauma center.

That call was made by medics working closely with emergency doctors at Providence.

Five students ultimately died from their wounds, including the shooter. One of the victims survived after being shot in the jaw.

He was taken by ambulance from Providence to Harborview.

UW Medicine initially claimed Airlift Northwest helicopters were hovering near the campus when they were waved off. An investigation by The Daily Herald led to the April 23 release of Airlift Northwest flight logs that proved the helicopters were nowhere near Marysville when those transport decisions were made.

While acknowledging the flight logs were accurate and the helicopters were at least 10 minutes flying time from the school, UW Medicine leaders as recently as last week still were suggesting that paramedics could have opted to make use of a third helicopter. It was returning to base in Arlington and was not dispatched

Timeline of statements Oct. 27, 2014: Three days after the Marysville Pilchuck High School shootings, Airlift Northwest provides a timeline to The Seattle Times that says two helicopters were near the school, ready to fly patients to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, when they were cancelled.

The timeline says one of the air ambulances was “hovering above the high school.” Four patients instead were transported by ground to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.

A Times story posted that evening includes the timeline and quotes Airlift and Harborview officials questioning the decision to wave off the helicopters.

In subsequent days, other news media, including The Daily Herald, also report the Seattle officials’ concerns.

Nov. 14, 2014: Recordings of emergency radio traffic are released by SNOPAC 911.

The recordings and a dispatch log contradict Airlift’s timeline, indicating that the helicopters actually were at least 10 minutes away, still en route, when they were cancelled at 11:07 a.m. the day of the shootings.

Nov. 25, 2014: The Daily Herald asks UW Medicine about the discrepancy between the initial timeline and the 911 recordings.

UW Medicine, which owns Airlift Northwest and manages Harborview, says in an emailed statement: “There is no discrepancy in the timeline that was established by Sno-Pac or Airlift Northwest. According to our flight records, Airlift Northwest’s Arlington-based helicopter was

as part of the response. It never contacted any of the first responders and wasn’t in the area until after the victims either were already at Providence or on the way, records show. Those ambulance trips lasted 12 minutes or less.

Firefighters, police and others at the scene repeatedly said they never saw any Airlift Northwest helicopters over the school that day.

In its May 7 letter, UW Medicine claimed it began trying to set the record straight in November, as soon as it “became aware” of problems with its timelines.

That claim directly contradicts what happened.

UW Medicine initially insisted there was no discrepancy between its claims about helicopter locations and the evidence that first surfaced in other public records, including 911 transcripts, that suggested help from Airlift Northwest was far away.

UW Medicine didn’t admit the truth until after the flight logs became public in late April. Even then, officials continued to claim the third helicopter was close enough to help.

For five months UW Medicine delayed release of the flight logs, maintaining they were subject to patient privacy law. The records ultimately were released by the University of Washington because no patients were aboard those flights.

returning to Arlington from Harborview for an unrelated incident and was over MarysvillePilchuck High School at approximately 11:10 a.m. They were flying their normal route and from their vantage point saw the activity on the ground. They were not part of the Airlift Northwest deployment to the scene, but were definitely over the area.”

Nov. 26, 2014: The Daily Herald submits a formal request under state public records law requesting the flight logs and emails about the criticism of decisions by Marysville paramedics and Providence doctors, among other things.

April 23, 2015: The Herald receives the GPS-derived flight logs from the University of Washington. They clearly show that the two helicopters closest to the high school were both 27 miles away when they were cancelled. The third helicopter, referenced by UW Medicine in the Nov. 25 statement, did not reach the high school until 11:20 a.m., not 11:10 as claimed.

April 30, 2015: In an emailed statement, UW Medicine says the third, uninvolved helicopter was two minutes away from Marysville at 11:17 a.m. and was willing “to land at the scene or the hospital to help with transport.” By then, all the victims were either at the hospital or en route by ground ambulance, records show.

May 1, 2015: The Daily Herald publishes a story about the emails and flight logs.

May 7, 2015: UW Medicine officials write Marysville firefighters to apologize for the earlier misinformation, claiming to have corrected it in November, “as soon as we were aware of this.”

‘Graduate’ actress Wilson dies at 94 Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn.

— Elizabeth Wilson, who built a career as a character actress in films such as “The Graduate” and “9 to 5,” has died. She was 94.

Wilson, who lived in Branford with her sister, died Saturday at Yale-New Haven Hospital, actress Elizabeth Morton, a spokeswoman for the family, said Monday.

Wilson played Dustin Hoffman’s mother in “The Graduate” and the character Roz in “9 to 5.” She had roles in almost 30 films, including “Catch-22” and “Regarding Henry,” and appeared in numerous stage and television shows, playing Archie Bunker’s cousin on “All in the Family.”

Wilson won a Tony Award for her performance in 1972’s “Sticks

and Bones.” She made her Broadway debut in 1953 in “Picnic,” and appeared in the Broadway revival of “Uncle Vanya” in 1973.

“I had no desire to be a star,” she told The Hartford Courant last July. “I wanted to be a character actress and be able to do all kinds of parts and work on a lot of things. That was my unconscious choice.

I wanted to be an undercover actress.”

Middle school mourns classmate, 12

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Some lessons learned at school are harder to comprehend than others.

They have no perfect answers.

Students and staff at Evergreen Middle School are grappling with that these days.

On Monday, classrooms emptied so the entire campus could march in silent remembrance of a student who died last week of an

apparent suicide.

Later, several dozen students, many carrying signs, walked out between classes and streamed onto the sidewalks. They said they hoped it would bring attention to the need to stop bullying.

So far, there is no official explanation on what moved the girl to end her life.

The girl was 12 and in the seventh grade. Many of her classmates Monday wore yellow, her favorite color.

Over the weekend, classmates and parents visited the campus to put up posters and tie yellow ribbons.

Students chanted the girl’s first name as they walked through the front parking lot and paced the perimeter of the school Monday.

Everett police were called to the girl’s home Thursday evening, officer Aaron Snell said. As is standard procedure in such cases, the Major Crimes Unit is handling the death investigation.

The girl reportedly left a note.

“Information regarding the note is not being released,” Snell said.

Extra counselors were on campus Friday and Monday. It has been a difficult few weeks. On April 27, a Cascade High School senior, who also attended Everett Community College, took his life.

School district officials estimate more than 100 students participated in Monday’s walkout.

Old standbys and new secrets

Tourism Bureau wants you to share your favorite spots in the county

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

No one knows the wildest, weirdest, prettiest, tastiest or most thrilling adventures better than a local.

The Snohomish County Tourism Bureau is putting together a series of “top 10” lists of area attractions. They want to highlight well-known favorites and round up a few of the county’s best kept secrets.

And they could use some help.

What restaurant has the most delectable grub, and where can people see a view of the mountains that will take their breath away? What’s the best perch for spying local wildlife? Where can adrenaline junkies get their fix?

When visitors come in with specific questions or interests, the bureau wants to have something that’s up to date and easy to use, said Amy Spain, executive director of the tourism bureau.

Staff are working on five brochures. The information will be available online and in pocketsized print versions at visitor centers. The topics for the brochures are Snohomish County’s Top 10: strange and wonderful oddities; scenic outlooks; foodie experiences; activities for thrill seekers; and wildlife viewing locations.

“We decided that we’re going to create some really specialized mini-brochures,” Spain said.

“Our Visitor Guide is an example of a very comprehensive piece ... Sometimes you don’t want to carry around a whole magazine, you just want one piece of information and say, ‘OK, just let me take that with me.’”

The bureau is taking suggestions for the brochures at www. snohomish.org. People can fill out the form or call with their ideas. Staff plan to check with experts to make sure those ideas would be a good fit for the brochures. For example, if someone’s favorite fishing hole requires cutting through private property, it’s better kept a local secret than a tourist attraction.

See TOURISM, Page A4

“We are not going to be taking any action in terms of student behavior today,” Everett School District spokeswoman Mary Waggoner said.

The goal is to get the campus back into a routine Tuesday, she said.

The school administration is open to discussing the bullying issue, Waggoner said.

“There will be conversations See SCHOOL, Page A4

Visitors to the top of Mount Pilchuck enjoy a clear view of the Cascades from the lookout in September 2014.

EVERETT — John Lovick has some competition if he hopes to remain Snohomish County executive, and the challenger is someone from within his own Democratic party.

Dave Somers, who serves as chairman of the county council, on Monday filed for the county executive job.

“I feel I don’t have any choice. Things are going too badly to let it go,” Somers said in an email.

In a press release announcing his candidacy, Somers said Lovick has demonstrated an inability to lead.

Lovick filed Monday to remain in office. He was first appointed county executive in mid-2013 when Aaron Reardon resigned after years of scandals. At the time, Lovick was serving as county sheriff.

Somers said Lovick has demonstrated a “failure to grasp the complex issues facing Snohomish County,” and that is having “a deeply damaging impact” on the community.

Under Lovick’s watch, Somers said, the sheriff’s office saw serious problems at the county jail, including ballooning overtime costs and a series of inmate deaths. Some of the deaths have led to lawsuits and one led to a $1.3 million settlement.

As county executive, Lovick’s administration and the county council have repeatedly clashed. Somers said Lovick has submitted budgets that were “millions

Trial of auditor delayed; impeachment considered Associated Press

TACOMA — A federal judge Monday delayed the trial of indicted Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley by seven months, prompting new calls for Kelley’s resignation or impeachment.

At a case conference Monday, U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton agreed to push back the trial date from next month to Jan. 19, 2016, given the complexity of the charges and the roughly 65,000 pages of discovery the U.S. Attorney’s Office has provided to Kelley and his lawyer, Mark Bartlett.

District officials also said bullying can be reported to the student safety tip hotline, 425-385-5050.

Something needs to be done, Evergreen students and parents said Monday.

“I went to this school and I was bullied,” said Jolynn Traynor, whose daughter, Jessalynn Morgan, 12, participated in the walkout.

“I’m behind her 1,000 percent,” Traynor said.

Talk of a walkout spread quickly through social media and by word of

Kelley began a leave of absence this month, weeks after his indictment on 10 counts alleging that he stole from one-time business clients, avoided taxes and lied during a deposition in a civil case. According to federal prosecutors, he kept more than $1 million that he should have refunded to customers of his former real estate services company.

Lawmakers from both parties and Gov. Jay Inslee have said the leave of absence is not good enough. They want him to resign.

Inslee repeated that Monday, and Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, said Monday that

if he doesn’t, the House should consider impeaching him. Two Republican representatives, Drew Stokesbary and Drew MacEwen, said they would file a resolution Tuesday calling for a committee to draft articles of impeachment by May 22.

“For him to say, ‘I’m going to take a leave of absence until after the trial’ — that was one thing when the trial was set for June 8,” Habib said. “When he’s leaving the office for at least 10 months and the person who’s acting in his stead is not elected, that does jeopardize the work of that very important office.”

“She was such a smart, loving, kind girl,” Pamela said. “She made the best out of the worst and the best out of the best.”

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among people between the ages of 10 and 19, according to the National Association of School Psychologists.

The organization offers several tips. It suggests asking the child if he or she is thinking about suicide and reassuring them that there is help and things won’t feel bad forever, The association also urges people to provide constant supervision of a potentially suicidal teen, to remove anything that could cause self-harm and to encourage them to contact help, from people such as a parent, teacher, counselor or school psychologist.

following Monday’s status conference.

In Kelley’s absence, the auditor’s office — dedicated to rooting out waste and fraud in state and local governments in Washington — is being headed by agency veteran Jan Jutte.

Prosecutors revealed at the conference that they are researching a potential conflict of interest in Bartlett’s representation of Kelley.

Friedman did not provide further details, though he did specify that the purported conflict is not related to Bartlett’s former work as a longtime federal prosecutor in Seattle.

Following a public records request from The

Associated Press, the Auditor’s Office on Monday released additional records related to Kelley, including text messages between him and Matt Miller, deputy director for external affairs at the agency.

The agency previously said that when it searched Kelley’s records, it found no text messages between the two — meaning Kelley had deleted them, as is allowed for messages that are considered “transitory,” said Auditor’s Office spokesman Thomas Shapley.

Most of the texts were related to setting up meetings, but several noted dismay about news coverage regarding the federal investigation.

He asked Miller to call the station and have the information removed.

“The alarm is off! Q13 and DOJ can foresee what will happen next. Insane!!!”

Kelley wrote.

The next day, Kelley followed up with Miller to see if the information had been removed. Miller confirmed it had, but then wrote: “Hey we need to stop texts and communicate by phone.”

The discord has become so pronounced that a majority on the county council asked for an investigation of Deputy Executive Mark Ericks, whom they accused of creating a hostile workplace. A review by an outside attorney concluded Ericks violated no county policies.

Lovick recently accused Somers of racism directed at the Tulalip Tribes — an allegation that largely backfired when tribal leaders said they were not offended by the councilman’s recounting of history that he learned while working as a tribal biologist for 18 years.

Slain police up 89% from 2013 Los Angeles Times The number of police officers “feloniously killed” in the line of duty jumped 89 percent last year compared with 2013, when a smaller-thanusual number died, the FBI announced.

The agency, which released its preliminary statistics on officer deaths Monday, found that 51 law enforcement officers were killed during the commission of a felony and in the line of duty. That is significantly more than the 27 officers who were feloniously killed in 2013, but still less than the annual average of 64 who died between 1980 and 2014, the agency said.

The latest statistics come during a year when police training and actions have

drawn national attention and after several deaths of officers, highlighting the dangerous nature of police work.

In recent days, residents of New York mourned the death of Officer Brian Moore, slain in Queens. It was the third such officer’s death in the past six months in the city. Over the weekend, two officers were killed in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, after a routine traffic stop.

Despite the inherent dangers of being a police officer, the occupation seems to be getting safer over the years, according to statistics compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a police-friendly group. The number of annual deaths of all types were in the 200s during the 1970s and 1980s, but fell

in this century to below 200 a year.

According to the FBI’s preliminary statistics, 46 of the 51 deaths in 2014 involved guns: 32 were handguns; 11 involved rifles; and three were shotguns.

Four officers were killed when vehicles were used as weapons, and one officer died after being beaten.

By region, 17 officers died in the South, which was also the deadliest region for police in 2013. Fourteen officers were killed in the West, eight in the Midwest and eight in the Northeast. Four were killed in Puerto Rico.

Police answering calls of disturbances faced the highest risk with 11 officers dying. Only one of the disturbance calls involved a domestic dispute.

Ten officers were conducting

traffic pursuits or stops.

Eight officers were killed in ambushes, six cases were premeditated and two were during unprovoked attacks, according to the statistics. Six officers were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances.

In addition to those officers killed in felonious attacks, 44 more officers died accidentally in the line of duty in 2014 — five fewer than the 49 officers accidentally killed in 2013.

Twenty-eight of the officers died as a result of automobile accidents, six were in motorcycle accidents, and five were struck by vehicles. Two of the officers were killed from accidental shootings, one from drowning, one from blunt force trauma, and one died as a result of smoke inhalation.

Twisters kill at least 5 Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Emergency responders searched through splintered wreckage Monday after a line of tornadoes battered several small communities in Texas and Arkansas, killing at least five people, including a young couple who died trying to shield their daughter from the storm.

Three people were still missing in a rural East Texas town.

Scores of others were hurt, some critically.

The couple, both in their late 20s, died when a twister hit their mobile home late Sunday in the Arkansas town of Nashville.

Michael and Melissa Mooneyhan were trying to protect their daughter when the parents’ trailer flipped over and “exploded,” Howard County Coroner John Gray said.

“I had wondered if they were in an enclosed space like a hallway or a bathroom just sheltering the little girl when it hit,” Gray said. “It’s a miracle that little girl survived.” The girl, who is about 18 months old, was taken to the hospital and later released to relatives.

Michael Mooneyhan worked in the deli department of the local Wal-Mart. Melissa was a stay-at-home mom doting on their daughter.

“That baby was definitely their life. They considered her their greatest blessing. You couldn’t find two parents who loved a child more,” McCammack said. “She’s going to grow up knowing family and knowing love.”

Family members went to the site of the destroyed home looking for mementos, toys and other things they could salvage for the little girl, McCammack said.

WASHINGTON — Democratic infighting has left in limbo President Barack Obama’s highly sought special authority to close global trade deals, with opponents believing they have the votes to block the measure.

Such a move would create the unusual possibility that the president’s own party would launch a filibuster in the Senate against his coveted “fast track” trade negotiating authority.

Obama and his Cabinet officials have mounted a furious final effort to lock up the votes in both chambers to secure the “Trade Promotion Authority” and then move on to wrapping up the final details of a trade agreement with 12

Former CIA officer convicted for leaks WASHINGTON — A former CIA officer who gave a journalist classified information about an operation to stem Iran’s nuclear ambitions was sentenced Monday to 3 ½ years in prison — a penalty that is longer than what others in recent leak cases have faced, but not by much. As she handed down the punishment for Jeffrey Sterling, the U.S. District Judge said she was moved by all that the 47-year-old had accomplished but that she needed to send a message to others: “If you do knowingly reveal these secrets, there’s going to be a price to be paid.”

Mississippi: Two killings Marvin Banks’ drug use and drinking worsened in recent years and he was hearing voices in his head. His mother said she had hoped he would get help.

He didn’t, and now he is charged with capital murder in the deaths of two police officers. His girlfriend and brother are charged as accessories and a friend faces an obstruction charge.

Banks’ mother, Mary Smith, said when she saw the booking photos of her 26-year-old son, she knew something was off. “He was sick and out of his head and I tried to get him some help,” she said at the Forrest County Courthouse.

Florida: Zimmerman hurt George Zimmerman, the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, suffered facial injuries in a roadside shooting Monday near a busy intersection in Lake Mary, police said. Lake Mary police said the shooter is believed to be Matthew Apperson, of Winter Springs — a man who accused Zimmerman of making threats during a road-rage incident last year. As of late Monday, no one had been arrested in the shooting.

Residents survey damage Monday to an elementary school caused by severe weather in Van, Texas. About 30 percent of the community was damaged in the storm late Sunday.

rating and winds estimated at 125 mph touched down in Nashville, meteorologist Travis Washington said.

The county’s tornado sirens were sounded for so long during Sunday’s first tornado warning that the battery was drained, Howard County Emergency Management Coordinator Sonny Raulerson said.

When a second warning was

issued for about 16 miles south of Nashville, the sirens could not be sounded, Raulerson said.

In neighboring Texas, a tornado pummeled the small city of Van, damaging or destroying 50 to 100 homes and the local schools, according to Chuck Allen, fire marshal and emergency management coordinator for Van Zandt County.

Authorities confirmed at

least two deaths.

For much of the day, eight people were still unaccounted for in Van, population 2,600, about 70 miles southeast of Dallas. Searchers eventually located five of them alive and planned to continue looking for the others into the evening.

Officials confirmed that the tornado was an EF3, with winds from 135 mph to 140 mph, Allen said.

Rescuers went door to door.

Damage was widespread, with trees uprooted and numerous homes and buildings flattened or ripped apart.

At least 42 people were injured, according to two East Texas hospitals. Four patients were in critical condition.

James Crawford and his wife, Thelma, rode out the storm in their mobile home in the area with some of Van’s worst damage.

They were in bed and did not have time to run, she said. All she could do was roll over and give her husband a bear hug while they held on.

Dems may block Obama trade deal The Washington Post

ACROSS THE U.S.

Pacific-rim nations.

“He’s made a very strong case about why he believes that this is the best interest of our economy both in the short term and over the long term,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday.

With a few Republicans expected to oppose the TPA legislation, Obama will need roughly 10 Democrats to join about 50 Republicans to clear a 60-vote hurdle on a filibuster vote Tuesday to move forward with the fast-track legislation.

The new authority would set up a faster process for congressional consideration of future trade deals, forcing an up-or-down vote without giving lawmakers the ability to amend the deal. Obama, similar to previous Republican

and Democratic presidents, views having this authority as key to finalizing global trade deals, arguing that it would make negotiating with multiple nations virtually impossible if each country’s legislature was able to tinker with the agreement.

The debate has turned increasingly heated between Obama and his normally supportive base of anti-Wall Street progressives, particularly Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

Warren opened fire Monday, accusing the president and his advisers of trying to “grease the skids” for a deal while he “won’t actually let people read the agreement.”

“If the president is so confident it’s a good deal, he should declassify the text and

let people see it before asking Congress to tie its hands on fixing it,” she said.

Senate passage was once considered a sure thing for TPA and the Pacific trade deal, with White House officials hoping that a large bipartisan majority would support the fast-track legislation and provide a springboard for what was expected to be a much narrower path to victory in the House.

The vast majority of the 245 House Republicans are expected to support the president, leaving White House officials to find possibly 25 to 30 Democratic votes. According to one Democratic estimate provided Monday, there are just 17 House Democrats so far supporting TPA.

Authorities said a man living in a Norristown assisted-living facility lost his housing subsidy after officials found a prostitute underneath his bed. Uri Monson said the man, believed to be in his 70s, paid prostitutes using profits earned from peddling alcohol to fellow residents. Monson said the man was a “more mobile gentleman” who went on booze runs for his neighbors.

AROUND THE WORLD Russia: Naval maneuvers Neither Russia nor China has coastline on the Mediterranean Sea, which made their decision to hold their first joint naval maneuvers in Europe’s backyard all the more provocative, a pointed demonstration to the West of the global reach of a powerful new alliance being forged by the eastern giants. Ten days of maneuvers that got under way Monday will include live-fire exercises in the strategic water body connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The war games follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow to headline May 9 Victory Day celebrations that were snubbed by Russia’s wartime allies.

Cuba: Pope Francis visit Pope Francis will visit three cities and the National Sanctuary of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, the shrine of Cuba’s patron saint, during a September visit to the island, the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Cuba announced Monday.

The bishops said Francis would arrive in Cuba on Sept. 19 and remain on the island until Sept. 22, when he leaves from Santiago in eastern Cuba for a trip to the U.S. Besides Santiago, the pope will visit Havana, Holguin and the shrine to Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre. El Cobre is a small copper mining town about 12 miles outside Santiago.

Paraguay: Pregnant child The government has failed to protect a 10-year-old rape victim who is being denied an abortion, U.N. human rights experts said Monday. In a statement from Geneva, the experts said Paraguay has refused to provide treatment to save the life of the girl, who is five months pregnant, “including safe and therapeutic abortion in a timely manner.”

The case has set off a national debate in Paraguay where abortion is banned in all cases — even rape — except when the mother’s life is in danger. “The Paraguayan authorities’ decision results in grave violations of the rights to life, to health, and to the physical and mental integrity of the girl as well as her right to education,” the experts said.

Self-driving car crashes reported Not once was the selfdriving car the cause of the accident, Google says.

Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Google Inc. revealed Monday that its selfdriving cars have been in 11 minor traffic accidents since it began experimenting with the technology six years ago.

The company released the number after the Associated Press reported that Google had notified California of three collisions involving its self-driving

cars since September, when reporting all accidents became a legal requirement as part of the permits for the tests on public roads.

The leader of Google’s selfdriving car project wrote in a web post all the accidents have been minor — “light damage, no injuries” — and happened over 1.7 million miles in which either the car or a person required to be behind the wheel was driving.

“Not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident,” wrote Google’s Chris Urmson.

“Cause” is a key word: Like Delphi Automotive, a parts supplier which suffered an accident

in October with one of its two test cars, Google said it was not at fault.

Delphi sent AP an accident report showing its car was hit, but Google has not made public any records, so both enthusiasts and critics of the emerging technology have only the company’s word on what happened. The California Department of Motor Vehicles said it could not release details from accident reports.

John Simpson, privacy project director of the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, notes that Google’s ultimate goal is a car without a steering wheel or pedals. This could prevent a person

from taking over if a car loses control, making it “even more important that the details of any accidents be made public — so people know what the heck’s going on.”

Delphi’s accident report shows that the front of its 2014 Audi SQ5 was moderately damaged when it was broadsided by another car while waiting to make a left turn. Delphi’s car was not in selfdriving mode at the time, Delphi spokeswoman Kristen Kinley said.

Five other companies with testing permits told the AP they had See DRIVING, Page A8

Shell leaps Arctic hurdle The region’s reserves are estimated at 26 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

DANIELLA BECCARIA / SEATTLEPI.COM

A small boat crosses in front of a Shell oil drilling rig as it arrives in Port Angeles on April 17.

Abigail Ross Hopper, said officials recognize “the significant environmental, social and ecological resources in the region” and have established “high standards for the protection of this critical ecosystem, our Arctic communities, and the subsistence needs and cultural traditions of Alaska Natives.”

“As we move forward, any offshore exploratory activities will continue to be subject to rigorous safety standards,” she said.

The Port of Seattle would need to get another permit to base the Arctic drilling fleet in Seattle for about six months of the year.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray last week said the port, a public agency, must obtain a new landuse permit from the city before Shell contractor, Foss Maritime, can use Terminal 5. Foss Maritime on Saturday said it planned to appeal to the Seattle Hearing Examiner in the next two weeks.

Once filed, the examiner will set

a hearing date and then issue a ruling.

Port commissioners are taking up the lease issue at a meeting Tuesday.

Meanwhile, activists plan to protest the movement of 400foot drill ship Polar Pioneer from Port Angeles to the Seattle port. A so-called “festival of resistance” starts Saturday and will include protesters on land and in kayaks, trying to block the ship’s movements.

“We respect the choice that anyone might make to protest based on Shell’s Arctic aspirations, we just ask that they do so safely and within the boundaries of the law,” Smith said.

Environmental groups Monday blasted the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management for providing the permit to Shell.

“This decision places big oil before people, putting the Arctic’s iconic wildlife and the health of our planet on the line,” said Erik Grafe, an attorney for

Earthjustice. “The agency should not be approving such threatening plans based on a rushed and incomplete environmental and safety review. Ultimately, Arctic Ocean drilling is far too risky and undermines the administration’s efforts to address climate change and transition to a clean energy future.”

Shell’s drilling plan proposes to drill up to six wells within the Burger Prospect, located about 70 miles northwest of the village of Wainwright, Alaska. The wells would be drilled in about 140 feet of water by the Polar Pioneer and the Noble Discoverer. Both vessels would provide relief-well capability for the other.

Shell has said the two ships will leave the Chukchi Sea at the end of each drilling season.

Arctic offshore reserves are estimated at 26 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, according to U.S. Geological Survey estimates.

Hoping is not a plan — get some life insurance

o many, buying insurance for your car, home or life seems like a big waste of money. What if you never get into an auto accident? Although most states require auto liability insurance, people nonetheless grouse about all that money doled out over the years. Or what if you never make a claim against your home insurance policy?

That’s money gone too, they grumble.

And chances are you’re going to live a long life.

But like it or not, insurance is often necessary because

Volvo plans new auto plant in S. Carolina Volvo Cars will build a $500 million plant — its first in the U.S. — in South Carolina and eventually employ up to 4,000 people there, the company announced Monday. The plant is initially expected to make about 100,000 vehicles a year, with the first ones ready in 2018, according to Volvo. It expects to employ about 2,000 people at the Berkeley County plant, about 30 miles from the Port of Charleston, over the next decade. That could grow to 4,000 workers eventually. The state plans to borrow about $150 million to build the site and a new interchange on I-26, oficials said.

Starbucks cleared in coffee-spill lawsuit A jury in North Carolina ruled Monday that Starbucks is not liable for damages after a Raleigh police officer said he suffered third-degree burns from a cup of coffee spilling in his lap three years ago. Lt. Matt Kohr had sought damages of up to $750,000 from the coffee company, but the jury decided 10-2 that Starbucks owed him nothing. “We are pleased with the jury’s decision as we believe our partners (employees) did nothing wrong,” a Starbucks spokeswoman said.

“The safety of our customers and partners will continue to be our top priority.”

Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Royal Dutch Shell’s Arctic drilling program has cleared a major bureaucratic hurdle to begin drilling for oil and gas off Alaska’s northwestern coast this summer.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Monday approved the multi-year exploration plan in the Chukchi Sea for Shell after reviewing thousands of comments from the public, Alaska Native organizations and state and federal agencies.

The approval came just days before a planned protest of the drilling program in Seattle.

Shell must still obtain other permits from state and federal agencies, including one to drill from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.

The company must also obtain government opinions that find Shell can comply with terms and conditions of the Endangered Species Act. Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said the approval “is an important milestone and signals the confidence regulators have in our plan. However, before operations can begin this summer, it’s imperative that the remainder of our permits be practical, and delivered in a timely manner.

“In the meantime, we will continue to test and prepare our contractors, assets and contingency plans against the high bar stakeholders and regulators expect of an Arctic operator,” Smith said.

Olive Garden to offer breadstick sandwiches Can’t get enough of Olive Garden’s breadsticks? Soon, they will become a part of two sandwiches. The Darden Restaurants chain said Monday it will start serving on June 1 meatball and chicken parmesan sandwiches made with its famous breadsticks. The Orlando, Florida, company said it will make a shorter and wider version of breadstick for the dishes, which will be served with fries, soup or salad and cost $6.99 for the meatball dish and $7.99 for chicken parmesan. Offered only at lunch, both also will come with unlimited, regular breadsticks on the side. “This is part of a strategy to take our menu items that people love and know and putting them together in new and interesting ways,” Olive Garden said.

Restaurant drops discount for whites A Colorado restaurant has dropped a much-criticized plan to give white customers a 10 percent discount and will offer the savings to all diners.

Edgar Antillon, owner of Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ and Country Cafe in Milliken, hung a sign reading “White Appreciation Day! on June 11th. Because all Americans should be celebrated!!” It gained attention on social media last week, and some called it racist. Antillon said the restaurant received a bomb threat Friday. By Sunday, Antillon changed the event’s description to include a discount for everyone. Antillon, who was born to Mexican parents, said he figured “the least we could do is offer one day to appreciate white Americans.”

permanent game plan, she said.

The husband’s argument against life insurance: “He says he doesn’t want to pay a premium for something we are highly unlikely to ever need. He thinks that if one of us passed away, the other would just need to ‘deal with it’ as best we could.” And by “deal with it,” the husband’s plan is that the surviving spouse would sell the house and move out of state to be with family who would help with child care, she says.

I asked Steven Weisbart, senior vice president and chief economist for the Insurance Information Institute, to weigh in on what he would tell the husband.

“My first reaction is that ‘deal with it’ isn’t a plan,” Weisbart said. “Insurance is for rare but financially crushing events; because they’re rare, the premium is affordable and if the event insuredagainst does happen, financial disaster is avoided, and the road to recovery is faster and smoother,” Weisbart would tell the husband.

OK, what about selling the house?

“We don’t know anything about the current house, but under the pressure of a post-death sale, it would likely fetch less than under more favorable selling conditions, particularly if there are some defects that couldn’t be fixed quickly and cheaply,” he said.

But the wife could go back to work, right?

immediately have new expenses. She would need to transition from a parttime to full-time earner plus begin paying for child care.”

Weisbart had other questions for the husband: ■ Does he have health insurance through his employer? “If so, the cost of successor coverage could be a substantially greater expense.”

■ Are there tasks that he performs for the couple that she would have to hire people to do after his death?

■ Are living costs near the family higher or lower than where they live now?

■ Would the wife need to pay for school or a training program to boost her employment skills? How much would this cost?

■ Would she ultimately be able to replace the income he earns?

■ As for child care, has the family who would provide it agreed to do so, and are they — financially, physically, etc. — in a position to do that? (People promise a lot of things they don’t or can’t follow through on. Just saying.)

■ If his wife dies, would he move with the kids to be nearer to family, and would he have to switch jobs? If so, would he have to take a salary cut in order to find employment in the new location?

“I think that it would be helpful for each of them to have life insurance at least to help manage what I call transition expenses,” Weisbart said. “At their ages, it would be very cheap, particularly if they bought 20-year term policies.”

I hope the couple lives a long and prosperous life. But hoping is not a plan. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

no accidents. In all, 48 cars are licensed to test on state roads.

That left Google, which has outfitted 23 Lexus SUVs .... technology. with driverless Asked last week whether its cars suffered the other three accidents, it acknowledged “a handful of minor fender-benders, light damage, no injuries, so far caused by human error and inattention.”

On Monday, Urmson posted a more complete accounting online, in which he also described instances in which Google’s cars avoided hitting other cars or bicyclists as they drove on streets near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters.

Nevada, Michigan and Florida have passed laws welcoming tests of selfdriving cars onto their roads. Their regulators told AP they weren’t aware of any reports.

California’s regulators provided the total — four accidents since September — but would not comment about their nature or severity, citing a longstanding state law making collision reports confidential.

Some details, however,

were revealed to the AP by a person familiar with these reports: Two of the accidents happened while the cars were in self-driving mode. In the other two, the person required to be behind the wheel was in control.

All four happened when the test car was moving at speeds of less than 10 mph, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to discuss the reports publicly.

A chief selling point for self-driving cars is safety.

Their cameras, radar and laser sensors provide a far more detailed understanding of their surroundings than humans have. Reaction times should be faster.

Cars could be programmed to adjust if they sense a crash coming — move a few feet, tighten seat belts,

honk the horn or flash lights at a distracted driver.

The top priority so far is not avoiding fender benders, but teaching them to avoid causing a serious accident that could set back acceptance of the technology for years, said Raj Rajkumar, a pioneer of the technology with Carnegie Mellon University.

The national rate for reported “property-damage-only crashes” is about 0.3 per 100,000 miles driven, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Google’s 11 accidents over 1.7 million miles would work out to 0.6 per 100,000, but as company officials noted, as many as 5 million minor accidents are not reported to authorities each year, so it is hard to gauge how typical this is.

IN OUR VIEW | Everett’s Chaplain Lake

How to save owls and log, too The city of Everett, which owns 3,729 acres at its reservoir at Chaplain Lake, north of Sultan, has proposed a novel approach to land management that would set aside about a third of the property for wildlife habitat for several decades while allowing the city to continue a modest program of timber harvest elsewhere on its property.

Spada Lake provides about three-quarters of Everett’s water, but Chaplain Lake is an important link in the city’s water system. Like the lands that surround Spada, which are managed by the state Department of Natural Resources, the Snohomish County PUD and the U.S. Forest Service, the property around Chaplain Lake is managed chiefly to protect that watershed. Taking precautions to protect water quality,

Everett has logged portions of the property in the past, usually 10 to 20 acres at a time, and wants to continue to do so.

The city, like other owners of forestland, faces uncertainly in its use for timber production because of the need to protect habitat for the northern spotted owl and the marbled murrelet, both listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. And the very actions to protect habitat can make it difficult to get permits for logging if the habitat attracts those species.

The relatively new Safe Harbor Agreements, in use by private forestland owners but not by a municipality before, are a cousin of conservation easements, which provide considerations to landowners in return for giving up development rights to the land. As reported Monday by Herald

Writer Chris Winters, Everett wants to use a Safe Harbor Agreement, coordinated by the state DNR, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to set aside 1,066 acres, about a third of its property at Chaplain Lake, for the next 50 years. In preserving the habitat, if the property were to attract owls or murrelets, the city could continue harvest elsewhere around Chaplain Lake as long as it follows a management plan that provides a net conservation benefit to the birds, which includes leaving snag trees that the birds use for nesting, longer harvest rotations of 60 years and reforestation after logging.

While it has become clear in recent years that nonnative barred owls are a factor in the decline of northern spotted

owls, habitat protection will remain important to protect spotted owls and murrelets and prevent other species from falling into the status of threatened or endangered.

Before the state and federal agencies can issue permits for the agreement, a 30-day public comment period has begun. Documents related to the application can be reviewed at tinyurl.com/ USFWChaplainSHA. Comments can be emailed until June 4 to WFWOComments@ fws.gov.

This and other Safe Harbor agreements should be studied as they progress to evaluate how well they encourage forestland owners to practice conservation measures that protect wildlife habitat while still allowing landowners the ability to manage forestlands for resource production.

have no fishing and hunting rights, no land rights, and other legal rights guaranteed under the signed treaty.) The Snohomish Tribe alone had 10 chiefs sign the Point Elliot treaty of 1855.

Unfortunately, Washington state officials have a long and atrocious historical record in their treatment of native Americans (as do others), so this behavior is not surprising, though it’s especially disappointing in 2015.

Something smells fishy and it’s not the salmon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT SCHOOLS

Bullying needs to be addressed I’m a sophomore at Everett High School. My purpose for writing is to tell people about the effect of bullying on me and people around me. I’ve been physically and verbally bullied at this school for the two years I’ve been attending.

People would tell me that I’m ugly and that I wasn’t worth anything to anyone. I would spend countless nights crying myself to sleep and hiding my feelings from my family and my friends thinking I was stronger ... but deep down I knew I wasn’t.

I remember during a passing period at school, this girl I didn’t even know shoved me against a locker and a teacher saw the whole thing but said nothing about it. I fought back tears and was silent the rest of the day, yet I told my friends I was totally fine. My school and many others have taken their bullying problems and “swept them under the rug,” which has resulted in one dropout and two suicides just in the past year as far as I know. Bullying impacts so many people and I believe that the school should do something to help those who feel like there’s no way out of their situation instead of pretending that nothing is happening.

No one deserves to get bullied. We all deserve to be respected at the very least; but most of all, we deserve to feel safe mentally and physically at school. How many more kids like me have to suffer under the weight of bullying before the school realizes that change is needed?

■■DEMOCRACY

Take big money out of elections I agree with Debra J. Saunders’ Sunday column on the need to teach civics in our schools. (“Want more voters?

Teach more civics and history.”) I am also appalled at the statistics she gave about the lack of understanding so many people have of how our government works.

I would suggest that there is an even larger force affecting voter turnout. When people are asked about why they did not vote, the most common answer is a belief that their vote will not really matter. People need only look around to see that we are flooded with expensive, political advertising. Post-election analysis repeatedly shows the power of these advertisements,

especially negative ads. It seems that even when we do make the effort to vote that the candidates flawed and are hardly worth the effort.

WAmend, Washington coalition to amend the U.S. Constitution, is gathering signatures for Initiative 735 to urge Congress to put a constitutional amendment to the states to take big money out of elections, to assert that corporations and other legal entities are not people, that money is not free speech and to require disclosure of campaign contributions and spending.

The passage of I-735 will help to change the attitudes of potential voters by empowering them. The hope of having an effect on an election will go a long way to increase voter turnout. Please sign a petition and help Washington join the other states that have passed or have pending similar measures.

Unrecognized tribes need study Nice to see the state make native history a part of public school curriculum in Washington in 2015. (Article, “Newly signed law requires tribal history, culture in curriculum.”

Too bad students in Snohomish County won’t be able to study the Snohomish Tribe — as they are not federally recognized. And the Duwamish (and Chief Seattle) are not federally recognized. And there will be no study of the Chinook Tribe that helped Lewis and Clark on their historic expedition. Not the Steilacooms (near Tacoma), not the Snoqualmoo of Whidbey Island, not the Mitchell Bay Band of the San Juan Islands, not the Noo-Wa-Ha Band and other unrecognized Northwest tribes. Now there’s something to study in school!

Even though half of these tribes signed treaties with the Unites State government in the 1850s, they are still not recognized (meaning they

Front page wrap ad is irritating It seems that every couple of weeks this paper’s Sunday edition front page has an “a half page overlay” ( my words) of an advertisement for some sort of service. In order to begin to read that paper I am obliged to remove that piece of ad paper. The Herald sells that ad location and the customer buys that ad, which is an irritation for me. For me the front page is the introduction to that Sunday edition and the news it contains. Being obligated to dissect the first (A section ) just to be able to begin to read the front page causes a negative response at the very beginning of the reading process and leaves me with a bad taste toward the newspaper and the advertiser. So when I finally remove the ad from the front section, I use it to collect and hold the other ads that are of no use to me and throw them into recycle. I am disinclined to use or remember the offending ad any further than the recycle bin.

Little recourse against faceless commenters

T

hree female professors at Eastern Michigan University were shocked to learn that some young scholars in their lecture hall had been on their cellphones attacking them with lewd public posts, complete with imagery. It was all done anonymously, courtesy of an unusually obnoxious social media app called Yik Yak. Their lecture topic, post-apocalyptic culture, seemed somehow apt. And to think, this was an honors course.

One complained to her union FROMA HARROP rep as follows: “I have been defamed, my reputation Even the besmirched. more I have been sexually mainstream harassed and verbally Twitter hasn’t abused. I am been doing about ready to hire a well of late lawyer.”

— in part It’s not clear what a because it lawyer could do for her. lets posters She really shield their has only two options: identities.

1. Rip the electronic devices out of the students’ grubby little fingers. Or 2. Choose to not give a fig what anybody says about her anatomy/age/ hair color/sweater size.

Having been on that receiving end any number of times, I’d advise 2. The more obscenity and general abuse flourish online the less impact any of it should have. These days, even high schoolers need skin 10 feet thick.

Yik Yak lets people post messages that anyone within a 1.5-mile radius can read.

And because the authors don’t have to reveal their identity, they can say the crudest things without putting themselves at personal risk. It’s apparently popular on college campuses.

Some colleges and other places try to keep Yik Yak off their Internet services.

But that has no impact on those connecting via their “smart”phones.

Women wanting to punish their unnamed tormenters find mainly frustration. One doesn’t know whom to sue or get fired. And even if you do know who is behind the nastiness, going after the perp might energize an army of creeps ganging up with counterattacks and sometimes threats — again, all hiding behind veils.

There was the case of Adria Richards, as recounted the book “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed,” by Jon Ronson. At a conference for Web developers, Richards had overheard a couple of guys making “mildly off-color jokes” of which she did not approve. She aired her complaints on Twitter and blogs. One of the men was fired, as was Richards from her tech company.

The gang attacked, and she complained to Twitter about 120 cases of abuse. Twitter did nothing about it.

Two pieces of advice for Richards: 1.

Get a sense of humor. 2. Stay away from Twitter.

She is reportedly being treated for posttraumatic stress disorder.

Those who have suffered at the hands of the masked mobs may take a measure of comfort in some sweet revenge. A site named Secret, another font of anonymous drooling, recently went out of business.

May Yik Yak meet a similar fate.

The problem for such apps is that advertisers recoil from being associated with their sicko commentary. That’s not a great business model.

Even the more mainstream Twitter hasn’t been doing well of late — in part because it lets posters shield their identities, one must assume. That makes its commentary both less authoritative and less appealing.

Facebook is now one of the few social media companies prospering. It remains a fairly pleasant place because “friends” must reveal who they are.

But those wanting some old-school dignity will have to find it in face-to-face settings or on carefully moderated websites. The worry, of course, is that younger people raised in the culture of impulsive nattering will fail to develop the necessary filters.

No one much likes this state of affairs, but sadly, that’s the ballpark we all must play in.

Bank From Page A1

Federal lawsuits against bank leaders and board members are somewhat unusual, but the FDIC brought dozens of such cases after the mortgage crisis that touched off the economic recession starting in 2008.

The FDIC accused City Bank’s founder and chief executive officer, Conrad D. Hanson of Clyde Hill, a posh Eastside suburb, and a senior vice president who oversaw construction loans, Christopher B. Sheehan of Lake Forest Park, of breaching fiduciary duties to the bank and being “negligent and grossly negligent by, among other things, approving, in violation of the City Bank loan policy and prudent, safe, and sound lending practices, at least 26 loans” to 14 unnamed borrowers from 2005 to 2008.

In 2010, the state Department of Financial Institutions closed the bank, which had eight branches in south Snohomish and north King counties at the time. The FDIC took it over and sold the assets to Coupeville-based Whidbey Island Bank.

Bank examiners warned City Bank that its questionable loans threatened the company’s stability. Hanson and Sheehan continued to approve such loans, and they collected big bonuses for it, according to the FDIC’s lawsuit. Hanson got performance bonuses worth $3.7 million and Sheehan got bonuses worth $653,000 from 2006 to 2008, according to the FDIC. The feds’ lawsuit sought $41 million in damages from the pair.

The two sides settled last month for much less — a total of $6,375,000 for Hanson and Sheehan.

The bank’s insurer at the

time could end up paying the sum, according to the settlement agreement. Neither Hanson nor Sheehan admitted any wrongdoing or fault in the agreement.

Meanwhile, attorneys for a dozen former Frontier Bank executives and board members are getting ready to take the FDIC’s lawsuit to trial in U.S. District Court on March 28, 2016.

The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman in Seattle.

The trial had initially been scheduled to start in late September, but the FDIC asked to push it back, which the court agreed to do.

The FDIC seeks $46 million in damages from the 12 former Frontier Bank officers and directors. As in the other case, it alleges that the defendants breached fiduciary duties and were negligent while approving poorly vetted real-estate loans in 2007 and 2008.

The bad loans were a big part of the reason that, by 2010, Frontier didn’t have enough cash on hand, as required by federal law. That year, the state Department of Financial Institutions shut the bank down. It was reopened under FDIC control. The feds then sold accounts to Union Bank of San Francisco.

The defendants include Frontier Financial Corp. founder and longtime executive Robert J. Dickson; his son, John J. Dickson, who was at times chief executive officer and president; and several former executives, Michael J. Clementz, Randy E. Deklyen, David A. Dorsey, James W. Ries, Robert W. Robinson and Lyle E. Ryan. Former board members are also named as defendants: Lucille M. DeYoung, William H. Lucas, Darrell J. Storkson and Mark O. Zenger.

One of the attorneys representing the defendants, Gavin Matsuda of Latham & Watkins in San Francisco, declined to comment on the case.

Abortion bill requires docs to help fetus live Associated Press WASHINGTON — Doctors performing late-term abortions would be required to take steps to give the fetus the best chance of survival, according to a Republican bill the House plans to debate this week.

The legislation requires that if the fetus seems capable of surviving outside the womb, a second, neonatal doctor must be present to provide care and rush it to a hospital.

The provisions are part of a broader bill criminalizing most abortions starting at the 20th week of pregnancy. Though the overall measure was described

last week by GOP aides and lobbyists, language detailing the efforts required to save the fetus’ life was not available until the measure’s full text was posted online Monday.

That focus on saving the fetus has been hailed by anti-abortion groups, who strongly support the overall legislation.

GOP leaders added the provisions aimed at saving the fetus’ life to a late-term abortion ban bill that was slated for debate in January.

They abruptly postponed that debate after Republican women and moderates objected that a rape victim would only be exempted from the abortion ban if she had reported her assault to

a law enforcement agency.

The new version of the bill drops that requirement and allows rape victims to receive late-term abortions if they receive counseling or medical care — though not from an abortion clinic — within 48 hours of the procedure. The women had complained that requiring a report to law enforcement officials was unduly harsh and could portray the GOP as insensitive toward women.

As with the original bill, the measure’s other exemptions to the lateterm abortion ban include mothers whose lives are in danger and minors who are incest victims and report the assault to law

enforcement authorities or agencies that respond to cases of child abuse.

Doctors — but not mothers — who violate the law could be subject to fines and up to five years in prison.

Newly added to the bill is a requirement that the mother sign a consent form acknowledging that an attempt will be made to let her fetus be born alive unless the mother’s health would be threatened. In addition, women would be able to bring civil actions against doctors who violate the law, and the federal government would be required to compile statistics on abortions performed under the law.

It’s show time for dove tree

It’s smart to eat these ‘brain healthy’ foods

By Barbara Quinn The Monterey County Herald

I once chuckled over a bumper sticker that read, “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.” Later on, it was not so funny when my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a disorder that destroys cognitive functions of the brain.

Several factors influence who will eventually develop this devastating disease, say researchers. One of them may be our diet, according to a recent study called the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, or MIND. As the name suggests, this research found that an eating style based on the Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets — known for their ability to reduce blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke — could also lower the risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease.

Contrary to the name, however, this was not a true intervention trial. Rather, researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago looked at what seniors were already eating and scored them according to a list of “brain healthy” food groups. People who reported eating more of these foods and fewer unhealthy ones were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, they found.

Brain healthy foods identified in the MIND study include vegetables (green leafy veggies in particular), nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine. Unhealthy foods were excess amounts of fried foods, red meat, butter, cheese, sweets and pastries.

Interesting that berries were the only fruit specifically named on their brain healthy list.

“Blueberries are one of the more potent foods in terms of protecting the brain,” states Martha Morris, Ph.D., a researcher who helped develop the MIND diet.

Strawberries are also rich in compounds that can help protect brain function.

What might this eating pattern look like? Each day includes at least 3 servings of a whole grain food, a mixed green salad, another vegetable and a glass of wine. Fish, chicken or turkey are eaten a few times a week; beef and pork less often. Beans are on the menu every other day or so. Nuts and berries are frequent snacks. Cheese, fried and fast foods are eaten no more than once a week. Butter is limited to less than a tablespoon a day. Pastries and sweets are reserved for special occasions.

While more studies are in order, these scientists recognize that we tend to be healthier the longer we practice health-related habits.

It’s what we eat consistently over time that probably gives us the best protection, they conclude. I’ll try to remember that.

DMONDS — Maybe you’ve seen Susan Watts. After all, she’s hard to miss.

She’s that happy-go-lucky woman with the bright red hair zipping around the Meadowdale area on a shiny red mobility scooter loaded with garden tools and a big blue watering can at her feet.

What’s up with that?

Watts, 71, doesn’t let multiple sclerosis get in the way of working in her yard that has been featured on Edmonds garden tours in previous years.

The home she shares with her husband, Dick, isn’t on tour this year, but has a special attraction.

It’s a dove tree, a rare species also called a handkerchief tree, laundry tree or ghost tree.

Watts called The Herald swooning about the tree, which took 15 years to bloom.

No wonder Watts was so excited.

“It’s blooming its head off,” she said.

The white wispy blossoms pop out and flutter like doves or hankies, laundry or ghosts.

The tree, native to China, was once considered to be the Holy Grail of exotic flora. Seeds were first sent to England in 1901 by legendary botanist Ernest Wilson, who called the trees “at once the most interesting and beautiful of all trees of the north-temperate flora.” It has a reputation for taking its sweet time to bloom.

There aren’t many dove trees around Snohomish County.

developer, Gale’s mom stopped to caution the construction crew that “it was a very unusual tree and they best be careful with it.”

Gale’s tree is about 12 years old and has not yet bloomed.

“When mine blooms,” Gale said, “I’m having a party.”

Maybe these should be called party trees.

Watts and her garden-mobile were just as interesting as her dove tree.

The front basket holds her broom, saw, garden knife, gloves, hat, water bottle, scissors, snips, pruner, edger and trowel. The big stuff is in the back basket.

“I’ve got a shovel to dig in the dirt with,” Watts said.

She does it all from the scooter, often bent over with her butt in the air, she said, laughing.

“I dig. I weed. I prune branches,” she said. Nothing stands in her way. “One of my tools is four feet long. I used to have a longer one, but I rolled over it and bent it out of shape.”

Watts laughed about that, too.

I told Watts that she reminded me of Lucille Ball. “I think I might be a little bit like Lucy,” she said. “She’s a little absent-minded. I don’t know if I’m that way. But I am goofy.

Liken me to Lucy at the chocolate factory.”

Watts retired from Nordstrom customer service due to MS. “I laugh a lot. Maybe it’s weakness,” she said, still laughing.

W

hile visiting Barcelona, I wandered through Gaudi’s famous architectural wonder, La Sagrada Familia (The Holy Family).

Conceived in the late 1800s by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi it has been under construction for over a century. It is still being built, but much of it is completed.

Gaudi, a deeply religious man, created a vast sanctuary with columns made to look like tall trees, which hold up the ceiling of the church. The tops of the columns have edges that look like leaves.

He designed windows to bring light into the church so that the inner building would look like a

PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK forest canopy lit by the sun. Walking through the church feels like strolling through a great forest, surrounded by colored light filtering through the leaves.

The doors to this basilica are adorned with intricate sculptures

of ivy with ladybugs, flies and praying mantises perched on the green ivy. Gaudi wanted us to remember that even the smallest creatures have their place in creation.

While it’s filled with Christian imagery, Gaudi conceived of it as a sanctuary for all people. He imagined a space where visitors and worshipers alike would feel connected to the oneness of all things. (Take a tour at www.sagradafamilia.cat/sf-eng).

It’s not necessary to have a spiritual tradition to feel part of something larger than yourself.

Lie on a blanket and look at the night sky on a clear summer

night. Look up at the vastness above you — the stars, the planets, and the galaxy. It’s easy to feel a sense of awe and wonder.

Take a walk through an old growth forest, look around you, and feel the trees create a shelter that covers and shields you.

Stand on top of a mountain or at the seashore and sense the quiet majesty around you.

It’s this awareness of spirit or oneness that helps us maintain perspective on our own lives.

We are a tiny part of something much larger, like a drop of water in a vast ocean. It is our connection with this vast sea that helps us remember what’s important.

It helps us realize that we are part of all that is around us.

This provides us with a sense of interconnectedness that gives life meaning and purpose.

It reminds us to take care of ourselves, our loved ones, our neighbors and the world we live in.

Poets, philosophers and theologians try to explain and describe this mystery. Each one of us experiences this feeling using our own particular metaphors or beliefs — whether they be through Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, Krishna or See SCHOENFELD, Page B5

Mom’s hard to talk to since Dad died

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I am having a hard time dealing with my mom and her new boyfriend. My dad passed away last year, and I am an (adult) only child. I know this loss affected her, but I don’t think she’s taken any time to see how the loss has affected ME. I motored along for the first eight months or so taking care of her, the house, the affairs, etc., and never had time to grieve, I guess.

Now I think everything is coming to a head for ME, and she just isn’t able or interested in being there.

She and the boyfriend travel, he’s moved into the house, and I get the occasional phone call (the printer is out of toner, can you change the bag in the vacuum, etc.).

I’m not mad at her for moving on; I’m sad because I guess I was never given the opportunity to miss my dad in my own way and on my own time. I find it extremely difficult to communicate with my mom beyond responding to specific requests. Things can’t continue this way.

— Mom’s Moved On Please get some grief counseling. Your mom can’t give you what you’re looking for to ease your

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT pain, for whatever reason — and, on top of that, your failure to get what you seek is now a source of a whole other kind of pain.

It’s time to stop doing what hurts (counting on your mom) and start doing what helps (figuring out who or what can meet your needs, which is what the counseling is for).

I’m sorry about your loss. If it helps, it might not be that your mom hasn’t “taken any time to see how the loss has affected ME,” but instead that she is unable to handle both her recovery and yours. She is moving on, yes, but she might have had only enough strength to manage that. You were stronger, and were able to manage her needs for months — but even then it took so much out of you.

I think this happens to families often, where people expect they

can handle logistics and their own grief and also take care of each other — and that expectation eventually proves impossible to meet.

If you find a way to get the support you need elsewhere, you might find that you’re able to talk to your mom again — simply because the stakes won’t feel so high.

Dear Carolyn: I just started a new job two months ago — a job I’ve always wanted. It’s legitimately great: in my field, more money, a great career move, a better commute.

But I had to leave a job I was really great at — I was an expert and recognized as such. Now I’m a newbie. I’m starting to feel sad about making the change, because it seems like I’ll never regain the expertise and bring the value I once had. Any ideas?

Son must be told truth about parents Dear Abby: I am a divorced mother of four. I have been single for three years, since my ex chose an affair over our marriage. I am successful and manage my home and finances.

I am, however, struggling with pressure from my ex to get back together. He had several affairs during the 13 years we were married.

The pain and self-loathing were unbearable for me. He hasn’t changed. Yet he tells our 14-year-old son, “Jackson,” that he still loves me and “wants only to be with me.” He also told Jackson that he doesn’t know why I have chosen to keep our family broken up.

I moved hundreds of miles to get away from this stress. I have a great job and a lovely home. My son stays mad at me, though. He has chosen to live with his dad, and when he visits he demands explanations for why I am not with them. It breaks my heart. I genuinely do not know what to tell him.

His father has already told him about the affairs, but says I should forgive him. Ironically, I DO forgive him. I want my ex to have a beautiful life — without me.

What can a mother say to her son to help him understand that some things just won’t mend? — Moved On In Alabama Dear Moved On: You would be doing your son a favor to tell him the truth.

As it stands, he thinks that a husband having affairs is nothing serious because that’s what his father has told him.

Now it’s time to tell Jackson that his father didn’t do this just once, he did it repeatedly. Explain that you tried forgiving him, and it only caused you more heartache. Tell your son you love him and you’re RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: I live in my parents’ home. They are long-haul truck drivers and come home every eight weeks or so for a few days.

I’m disabled and have a caregiver who comes four days a week.

When my parents stop in and the caregiver is here, they expect her to do for them. They keep four dogs on the truck they take with them and leave four dogs at home with me — so that’s eight dogs when they are here. I am extremely grateful for this home and I love them very much, but right now I feel like a house/ dog-sitter.

My son has invited me to go on vacation with his family. Is it my responsibility to make arrangements for the dogs they have left here? — House-Sitter In The South Dear House-Sitter: Because the dogs have been left in your keeping, the responsibility for assuring their safety and well-being in your parents’ absence belongs to you. Ask your parents if they would mind a pet-sitter staying in the house when you vacation with your son, or if they would prefer the dogs be placed in a kennel.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, May 12, the 132nd day of 2015. There are 233 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On May 12, 1975, the White House announced the new Cambodian government had seized an American merchant ship, the Mayaguez, in international waters.

(U.S. Marines gained control of the ship three days after its seizure, not knowing the 39 civilian members of the crew had already been released by Cambodia.)

In 1870, an act creating the Canadian province of Manitoba was given royal assent, to take effect in July.

In 1922, a 20-ton meteor crashed near Blackstone, Virginia.

In 1932, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was found in a wooded area near Hopewell, New Jersey.

In 1937, Britain’s King George VI was crowned at Westminster Abbey;

In 1949, the Soviet Union lifted the Berlin Blockade, which the Western powers had succeeded in circumventing with their Berlin Airlift.

In 1955, Manhattan’s last elevated rail line, the Third Avenue El, ceased operation.

In 1965, West Germany and Israel exchanged letters establishing diplomatic relations. The Rolling Stones recorded the final version of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction� at RCA Studios in Hollywood.

In 1970, the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Harry A. Blackmun as a Supreme Court justice.

In 1982, in Fatima, Portugal, security guards overpowered a Spanish priest armed with a bayonet who attacked Pope John Paul II. (In 2008, the pope’s longtime private secretary revealed that the pontiff was slightly wounded in the assault.)

In 1994, British Labor Party leader John Smith died at age 55.

‘Simpsons’ town opens at theme park LOS ANGELES — Springfield, the mythical city that serves as Anytown, USA for “The Simpsons,� is enjoying some urban sprawl in the real world.

Home to America’s favorite screaming yellow TV characters, the town becomes bicoastal Wednesday when Universal Studios Hollywood officially unveils a newly created Springfield. The city block-sized neighborhood, constructed on formerly open space near the park’s existing Simpsons ride, will feature a collection of show-inspired landmarks, such as the cooling towers of Mr. Burns Nuclear Power Plant, and eateries — one of which will answer the age-old question: What exactly does a Flaming Moe taste like? “It’s hard for me to be objective,� said Al Jean, one of the show’s executive producers who was closely involved in the ramp up of the show’s theme-park presence. “But if you’re a fan of ‘The Simpsons,’ you will feel like you’re in their world.�

A look at “Simpsons� scenery at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park.

Springfield’s leap from cartoon to concrete, which first began at the theme park’s Orlando, Florida, location in August 2013, marks another surprising cultural enshrinement for a subversive animated comedy that began more than 25 years ago with few expectations of success. Today, American

television’s longest-running scripted program powers a lucrative global brand that has rung up billions in merchandising sales and has hauled in 31 Emmys and a 2012 Oscar nomination for its theatrical short “The Longest Daycare.�

The show that proved prime-time cartoons could

appeal to adults received even more acclaim. Fox recently announced the show would continue setting records for TV longevity when the network renewed it for an unprecedented 27th and 28th season. When concluded, those seasons will bring the tally of “Simpsons� episodes to 625.

TELEVISION

Fox will end once-dominant ‘American Idol’ in 2016 The next season of “American Idol� will be its last.

Dana Walden and Gary Newman, chairmen and chief executives of Fox Television Group, made the farewell official Monday when they announced

their schedule for the 2015-16 fall season. “It was not an easy decision,� said Newman. “It’s been such a vital part of Fox during its run.�

Newman said the network and “Idol� producers FremantleMedia and 19

Entertainment “felt collectively with them the right time for the franchise to close.�

By announcing a final season, Fox will get a chance to honor the show. “It’s going to be a true season-long celebration,�

Newman said. “Idol� made its premiere in 2001 and was the dominant show on television for much of its run. But ratings declined rapidly in recent years for the singing-competition show.

Advice about repercussions of salt consumption is evolving

By Marta Zaraska Special to The Washington Post

Salt intake that is often deemed high may actually have benefits, scientists say.

“We humans eat more salt than is necessary. But we all do it. So the question is: why?” asks Paul Breslin, a professor of nutritional sciences who researches sodium appetite at New Jersey’s Rutgers University.

In the past, people thought that salt boosted health — so much so that the Latin word for “health” — “salus” — was derived from “sal” (salt).

In medieval times, salt was prescribed to treat a multitude of conditions, including toothaches, stomachaches and

“heaviness of mind.”

While governments have long pushed people to reduce their intakes of sodium chloride (table salt) to prevent high blood pressure, stroke and coronary heart disease, there are good reasons why cutting down on salt is not an easy thing to do.

Scientists suggest that sodium intake may have physiological benefits that make salt particularly tempting — and ditching the salt shaker difficult. It comes down to evolution.

“In biology, if something is attractive and we invest in gaining it, it must be beneficial, adaptive in evolutionary terms,” says Micah Leshem, a professor of psychology at Haifa University in Israel, who spent

Schoenfeld From Page B1

simply communing with nature. It’s all an attempt to explain and describe this primitive element of life.

This awareness of oneness creates the counterpoint to our sense of self. Both are important. Both co-exist in the same moment.

Living in the Northwest,

decades researching salt’s unique appeal.

People tend to consume about the same amount of sodium no matter where they live, and this amount hasn’t changed much in decades. Those facts hint at the biological basis of our sodium appetite.

A 2014 analysis of data that spanned 50 years and dozens of countries found that the quantity of sodium that most people consume (and then excrete) falls into a historically narrow range of 2.6 to 4.8 grams per day. (And then there are extremes: In 16th-century Sweden, for example, people ate 100 grams a day, mostly from fish that had been salted to preserve it.)

“Over the last five decades, salt content of

commercial food in our food in the United States has gone up. But if you look at people’s 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, you see that the amounts of salt people consume have been constant,” he says. Irrespective of age, sex or race, between 1957 and 2003 Americans have been eating on average 3.5 grams of salt a day. “This suggests that we are somehow regulating the amount of salt we are eating,” Breslin says.

And, in fact, salt is good for us. Sodium is necessary for preventing dehydration, for proper transmission of nerve impulses and for normal functioning of cells.

If we ate no sodium at all, we would die. When they become sodium-deficient, many animals go out of their

way to find the mineral.

Sodium depletion can develop after severe sweating, diarrhea or vomiting or, if you are a lab rat, after it is induced by a scientist.

Pharmacology professor Alan Kim Johnson and colleagues from the University of Iowa gave rats diuretics and found that sodiumdepleted rodents acquired a strong attraction for salted chips. In other experiments, sodiumdeficient animals hungrily drank ultra-salty solutions that they would otherwise find disgusting.

Once sodium deficiency is experienced, salt cravings can last a lifetime. That happens with humans, too — but only if the deficiency strikes in very early childhood, or even before birth.

If your mother suffered frequent vomiting in pregnancy or if you lost significant amounts of sodium as a baby (due to vomiting or diarrhea, for example), chances are good that you eat more salt than other people do, even by as much as 50 percent, as one of Leshem’s studies has shown. This is probably because sodium depletion alters our central nervous system so that we develop long-lasting preference for the mineral, Johnson says.

In one of Leshem’s studies, babies who had low concentrations of sodium in their blood in the first weeks of their lives grew up to be teenagers with a penchant for salt, even salt that is seemingly hidden in processed foods.

we frequently have low cloud cover that casts a gray tone over the Puget Sound. But simply ascend in an airplane just a few thousand feet or less, and it’s a beautiful sunny day.

The sky is a perfect blue.

Looking up, I see gray clouds, but I also know

that above those clouds is a perfect sunny day. Both exist at the same time, in the same moment. It is easy to forget and lose sight of that perfection. When we do, we forget that we are part of the beautiful creation of life.

Find your own way of

keeping this awareness at the center of your everyday life, whether through prayer, contemplation, or meditation. It’s just as important as taking care of our bodies through healthy living or taking care of our loved ones.

You won’t be

disappointed.

NFL suspends Brady for four games The New England Patriots also lose a first-round draft pick and are fined $1 million for deflating footballs.

Associated Press NEW YORK — The NFL suspended Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2016 season, fined the New England Patriots $1 million and took

away two draft picks Monday as punishment for deflating footballs used in the AFC title game.

The league also indefinitely suspended the two equipment staffers believed to have carried out the plan, including one who called

himself “The Deflator.”

Brady would miss the season’s showcase kickoff game on Sept.

10 against Pittsburgh, then Week 2 at Buffalo, a home game against Jacksonville and a game at Dallas. He will return the week of a

Patriots-Colts AFC championship rematch in Indianapolis.

Brady has three days to appeal the suspension to Commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee.

Stephanie “Blow Bye” Miller (silver helmet) skates with fellow members of the Camaro Harem before a roller derby bout Saturday at the Shoreline Derby Center.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Battling both on and off the track

Competing in roller derby is one of the ways Stephanie ‘Blow Bye’ Miller fights back against MS

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Being good at roller derby takes determination, discipline, perseverance and courage.

Living with multiple sclerosis takes all of that and more.

For Stephanie Miller, the same traits that have helped her excel at roller derby, a sport she loves, have also helped her face a disease she detests.

Stricken six years ago, the 30-year-old Miller vowed not to give in to MS, and she has since used roller derby as a way to stay strong both physically and emotionally.

“I refuse to let MS control my life,” said Miller, who lives in Lynnwood.

“And I refuse to let it tell me what I can and cannot do.”

I refuse to let MS control my life.

— Stephanie Miller who skates under the name “Blow Bye”

There are days, she admits, “when the MS rears its ugly head and then it’s difficult. I might have a five-minute pity party and go cry in the corner, but then I get back to (my daily activities). I have to be bigger than MS because I can’t afford not to be.”

Even on days “when I’m willing my body to cooperate, I don’t want to give up because I’m bigger than this.”

Miller, who skates under the name “Blow Bye,” woke one morning in

January of 2009 with blurred vision in her left eye. It was, she thought, the onset of a migraine headache. But the symptoms became worse, and a series of subsequent tests — including a CAT Scan and an MRI — revealed a lesion on her brain, leading to a diagnosis of MS. The pronouncement was “a huge blow for me,” she said. “It was pretty depressing.”

But over the next several months Miller began to fight back. She visited a naturopath who recommended dietary supplements. She became more committed to proper nutrition and rest.

And she decided to improve her fitness, which led to roller derby.

She and her husband, Dan, who met while roller skating, were living in See DERBY, Page C6

What is MS? Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the central nervous system. It is believed to be an autoimmune disease (that is, a person’s immune system attacks the body), and it is a lifelong condition with no known cure, though symptoms and their severity vary between individuals.

The most common symptoms are numbness and tingling in areas of the body, problems with balance and coordination, impaired vision and fatigue.

The causes of MS are unknown, though it is believed that a person’s immunology and genetics along with environment are contributing factors.

Vikings move on to district championship Herald Staff MOUNT VERNON — The Lake Stevens baseball team could muster just two hits all night against Mount Vernon starting pitcher Ryan Fredrickson, but sometimes that’s all it takes.

The Vikings broke a scoreless tie in the top of the sixth inning and held on for a 1-0 win to advance to the next round of the Disrtict 4A Tournament.

Lake Stevens’ starting pitcher Skyler Swords also went the

distance, pitching seven innings and allowing six hits while striking out five. He had no walks, but hit two batters.

“Both pitchers were very competetive and pounded the strike zone,” Mount vernon head coach Tony Wolden said. “We had opportunites to score several times but just couldn’t get a clutch hit.”

Lake Stevens was able to manufacture the only run in the game after an error by Mount Vernon allowed Chase Ridder to reach first base to begin the fifth

inning. Ridder then stole second before Justin Brown sacrificed him to third on a bunt. After a line-out to shortstop, Swords came to the plate and hit a dribbler to third that allowed Ridder to score.

“He (Fredrickson) did a great job of keeping us off-balance all night,” Lake Stevens head coach Rodger Anderson said.

Fredrickson had two strikeouts.

But Swords was the hero for the night, pitching a gem and coming through with the game’s

only RBI. “He was very efficient,” Anderson said. “He only threw 86 pitches and we played great defense behind him. He did what he needed to do.”

The Vikings play undefeated Snohomish at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the district championship game at Everett Memorial Stadium.

“It’s our fourth straight year in the tournament,” Anderson said. “So we should be used to (the pressure). We’re excited and looking forward to it.”

Snohomish girls lacrosse advances to state semifinals Herald News Services TACOMA — Hannah Graves led all scorers with six goals as Snohomish advanced to the semifinals of the Washington Lacrosse Girls State Championship Tournament for the third consecutive year, handling Bellarmine Prep 19-12 on the Lions’ home field on Monday in Tacoma.

With the state’s No. 2 scorer Hannah Graves at the helm, the combined Snohomish, Glacier Peak high school squad quickly to command of the game building a 10-4 lead at the half, then cruising through the second half as coach Christine Ryan provided important post-season playing experience for a number of her younger players.

“We were pretty comfortable the entire game,” Ryan said.

While Ryan’s offense was in full swing, midfielder Natalie Church was dominating the draws.

“She really stepped up the on the draw controls,” Ryan said. “Not only was she winning it to herself but she was winning it to our players. It was huge for your attack.”

Church finished the night with six draw controls along with three goals and an assist, while Graves had six points, all on goals. Graves has 59 goals and 13 assists for 72 points this season.

The Lions were led by Elizabeth Cranstoun with four goals and two assists, while the state’s No. 8 goal scorer Alyssa Johnson was held to just two goals. She now has 50 goals on the season along with 23 assists for 73 points.

Snohomish, which dropped Mercer Island 9-8 in Thursday’s opening round playoff matchup to advance into the quarterfinals, now moves on to faces the winner of Monday’s Lake Sammamish, Issaquah quarterfinal on Wednesday for the right to advance to the state title game on Friday.

Snohomish outfielders Derrek Johnson (left) and Gavin Bullock (right) high five after Johnson made a diving catch in the 4th inning of its 2-1 victory over Monroe on Monday.

Snohomish: Sandifer strikes out 11 batters From Page C1

until the fifth inning — and finished the game with 11 strikeouts. The right-hander will pitch at Everett Community College next year.

“There’s not many better pitchers around in this area,” Monroe head coach Eric Chartrand said. “The kids battled. He’s a tough pitcher. I thought they put out a good effort.”

The first two Monroe batters reached base in the seventh, before Sandifer got the first of his four strikeouts. A single by Bailey Sarto loaded the bases for the Bearcats prior to the second strikeout of the inning. With two outs, Sandifer notched his third strikeout against Noah Miller, who sprinted to first base when the pitch flew past the

glove of the Snohomish catcher.

A run scored on the play, bringing Monroe to within one before Sandifer’s fourth and final strikeout of the inning.

“Ryan Sandifer just took charge,” Hammons said. “And he’s the hero.

He’s done it all year. I wasn’t going to take him out. I would’ve had a mutiny on my hands.”

After his final game on the Snohomish field — the district championship and loser-out games on Thursday are at Everett Memorial Stadium — Sandifer was emotional as he raked the mound for the last time.

“This is my mound,” he said. “It’s always been really nice to pitch on it. I’ve worked on it, done everything to it, I know it like the back of my hand. ... It’s pretty emotional. I

didn’t think about it until I started working on it.”

It wasn’t just on the mound that Sandifer shined. He hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth inning that proved to be the game-winning run for Snohomish (21-0).

“Jake Mulholland drives in a run with a double and then Ryan Sandifer hits a sacrifice fly,” Hammons said, “and Ryan Sandifer wins the game on the bump and then he wins the game with a sacrifice fly.”

Chartrand, meanwhile, was pleased with the way his Bearcats battled the top-ranked Class 4A team in the state.

“This team is really learning how to win baseball games, and really learning how to compete,” Chartrand said. “I’m just really proud of them. It would be very easy to fold

against (Sandifer), to get down a couple and just figure the game’s over. But I was proud the boys came out and fought. It was close.

“We lost to the No. 1 team in the state. I told my boys when we started this thing, ‘The pressure’s not on us.’

Let’s just go out and play baseball.

That’s a really good team. There’s a reason they’re ranked where they are. And we were right there.”

Monroe (10-11) faces Mount Vernon in a loser-out district game at 4 p.m. Thursday at Everett Memorial Stadium.

“I just told the boys that as long as we get a chance to still be together, it’s a pretty good deal. We’re just going to go out there and give our best effort,” Chartrand said. “We’ve got (junior pitcher Jared) Cogar ready to go. It’s a good spot to be in.”

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Justin Brown Lake Stevens | Baseball Brown batted 4-for-4 in Saturday’s 6-5 extra-inning victory over Jackson in the first round of the 4A District 1 Tournament.

Brown’s walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth inning gave Lake Stevens the win and ended the Timberwolves’ season.

The Vikings will play for the district championship on Thursday.

Kaylei Werner Jackson | Softball Werner batted 3-for-3 with a double and three runs scored in Friday’s 9-8 victory over Lake Stevens. With the win, the Timberwolves took sole possession of second place in the competitive Wesco 4A and set up a showdown with firstplace Snohomish in a game that could decide the eventual league champion.

Anton Resing Shorecrest | Boys Soccer Resing scored all three of the Scots’ goals in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Anacortes in the first round of the 2A District 1 tournament. Resing helped the Scots earn a spot in Tuesday’s semifinal against undefeated Archbishop Murphy.

Taryn Smith Stanwood | Girls Tennis Smith, the No. 2 singles player for the Spartans, won her match over Everett’s Gwyn Anderson 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 on Thursday. Smith’s three-set victory gave Stanwood a 4-3 win over Everett and kept the Spartans unbeaten in league play.

Moving up to the next level

Stanwood basketball stars make their college choices

By David Krueger Herald Writer

Two key contributors to the Stanwood boys basketball team’s recent success plan to continue their careers at universities in the Pacific Northwest.

Seniors Karsten Chaplik and Skout Roberson have committed to Central Washington University and Lewis & Clark College, respectively.

“Both of them have just been incredible,” Stanwood head coach Zach Ward said. “We were pretty young this year. It was nice to have those guys. We’re going to miss them for sure.

Not just their points and rebounds, but their leadership.”

Roberson and Chaplik were instrumental in helping Stanwood (19-5) win its second district championship in three years this past season and advance to the regional round of the Class 3A state tournament. Both were first-team AllWesco 3A North selections.

Roberson announced during the earlysigning period — prior to the start of his senior season — that he would be headed to Lewis & Clark.

Chaplik, meanwhile, took a little longer to finalize his college plans. He waited until after the season— and after a trip to Central — for the 6-foot-4 wing to know where he was headed.

“I wasn’t too focused on talking to schools during the season,” Chaplik said. “I was just trying to go out there and do the best I could for my team and get wins. I felt like when the wins came, the rest would come. And it did.”

In Chaplik’s three-year varsity career Stanwood was 50-15, including a 39-1 mark in league games. The Spartans won three league titles and two district titles. As a senior, he averaged 17 points per game and was named the Wesco 3A North Co-Player of the Year.

“He’s won a lot of games,” Ward said. “He lost one league game in three years. That’s crazy. …

He hit huge shots. He lives for those moments.”

At Central, Chaplik will play with former Arlington star Terry Dawn. Arlington and Stanwood have a strong sports rivalry, known as the

GENNA MARTIN/THE HERALD

Stanwood’s Karsten Chaplik will play college basketball at Central Washington University.

Stilly Cup, but Chaplik insists an Eagle and a Spartan can play on the same team.

“He’s definitely a rival, but he’s definitely a great guy,” Chaplik said of Dawn. “I talked to him a bit on my visit. It’s going to be fun getting to know him.”

Another school Chaplik considered was Lewis & Clark, the Portland, Oregon-based school that landed Roberson. A 6-foot-5 post, Roberson was a two-year varsity player who averaged 12 points and six rebounds per game this past season. At Stanwood, he never got to play on the varsity with his older brother: former Spartans star Cannen Roberson.

It’s no coincidence that one of Skout’s new teammates at Lewis & Clark will be Cannen, who will be a junior next season.

“It’s pretty cool having my brother down there, too,” Skout said. “He’s really excited for me to come down there. And so am I.” “I think that was definitely part of it,” Ward said. “He wasn’t on that team, Cannen’s senior year. I think playing with his brother is something he’s really interested in.”

Skout said he’s been around the Lewis & Clark coaches, who recruited Cannen a couple years ago, and has a good relationship with them. When he attended his older brother’s games, the Lewis & Clark coaches hinted it would be nice to add a second Roberson.

“For a while, the coach joked about coming down there, even two years ago,” Roberson said. “I’ve known the coach for as long as Cannen has. I’m close to him. Going in, I feel like I already know the coach and the players.”

Ward said the Spartans are going to have huge holes to fill with the departures of Roberson and Chaplik, who signed his letter of intent at a ceremony in the Stanwood gym Monday afternoon.

“With Karsten, it’ll be tough to replace that mid-range pull-up shooter from a kid that you can count on getting a shot off,” Ward said. “We really enjoyed that this year and were spoiled.

We knew he would get it and, at 6-4, get a shot off.

“With Skout, we’re definitely going to notice from the bench or the stats, ‘Oh gosh, it feels like we’re getting out-rebounded tonight.’ We’re going to miss his presence.”

Likewise, Chaplik and Roberson will miss being part of the Stanwood program, but they’re looking forward to playing basketball at the next level.

“It’s crazy thinking that it’s over now and I won’t be playing any more games under Ward and (assistant coach Harlan Roberson),” Chaplik said. “The last couple years have been crazy.

Been some big ups and downs. It’s sad that it’s all over but I’m excited to move on to the new chapter of my life and play at Central.”

Added Roberson: “I just want to keep on getting better and give that program as much as I can give it and work as hard as I can every day.

We’ll see where that takes me.”

Andrew Ayers King’s | Boys Track Ayers won the 1,600 and 800 meters and helped the Knights win the 4x400 relay in Saturday’s Cascade Conference championships.

Wurrie Njadoe Shorecrest | Girls Track Njadoe won the 100 meters along with the high jump and long jump in Thursday’s meet at Shoreline Stadium against Shorewood, Mariner and Kamiak.

Drew Gradwohl Edmonds-Woodway | Boys Golf Gradwohl shot a two-under 68 to earn medalist honors last Wednesday against Meadowdale and Shorecrest at Jackson Park Golf Course.

Morgan Rood Meadowdale | Girls Golf Rood shot a six-over 39 to earn medalist honors against Mountlake Terrace last Tuesday.

Steele Fosth Kamiak | Boys Lacrosse Fosth scored four goals and had two assists in Friday’s 13-6 win over Stanwood.

Fosth’s performance helped Kamiak clinch the No. 2 seed from the Wesco/Northwest Division and earn a spot in the state tournament, which begins on May 19.

Hannah Graves Snohomish | Girls Lacrosse Graves scored four goals, including the go-ahead goal with 10 seconds to go in regulation to lead Snohomish to the 9-8 win over Mercer Island on Friday.The win earned Snohomish a spot in the state quarterfinals where it played Bellarmine Prep on Monday.

Patriots From Page C1

Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, wrote letters to the team and Brady saying a leaguesponsored investigative report established “substantial and credible evidence” that the quarterback knew the employees were deflating footballs and failed to cooperate with investigators.

“Each player, no matter how accomplished and otherwise respected, has an obligation to comply with the rules and must be held accountable for his actions when those rules are violated and the public’s confidence in the game is called into question,” Vincent wrote to Brady.

The investigation by attorney Ted Wells found that Brady “was at least generally aware” of plans by two Patriots employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

The Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 and went on to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

The Patriots lose next year’s

first-round pick and a fourthround choice in 2017.

The fine matches the largest the NFL has handed out, to Ed DeBartolo Jr., then the San Francisco 49ers’ owner, who pleaded guilty to a felony in his role in a Louisiana gambling scandal in 1999.

Vincent told the Patriots the punishment was handed out regardless of whether the flatter footballs — which can be easier to grip and catch — affected the outcome of the blowout win over the Colts. Vincent said the deflating of the balls probably began much earlier.

“While we cannot be certain when the activity began, the evidence suggests that January 18th was not the first and only occasion when this occurred, particularly in light of the evidence referring to deflation of footballs going back to before the beginning of the 2014 season,” he wrote. “It is impossible to determine whether this activity had an effect on the outcome of games or what that effect was.”

In his 243-page report released by the league last week, Wells found that the team deflated the game footballs after they had been checked by officials. Although the report did not conclusively link Brady, a four-time Super Bowl

champion, to the illegal activity, text messages between the equipment staffers indicated that Brady knew it was going on. Investigators said Brady’s explanation for the messages was implausible.

“It is unlikely that an equipment assistant and a locker-room attendant would deflate game balls without Brady’s knowledge and approval,” the report said.

Although Brady has issued only general statements in his defense, his agent, Don Yee, said the report omitted key facts and was “a significant and terrible disappointment.”

The NFL allows each team to provide the footballs used by its offense, but it requires them to be inflated in the range of 12.5-13.5 pounds per square inch. Footballs with less pressure can be easier to grip and catch, and Brady has expressed a preference for the lower end of the range.

Brady said last week that the scandal hasn’t taken away from the team’s 28-24 Super Bowl win over Seattle — its fourth NFL title since the 2001 season.

“Absolutely not,” he said at a previously planned appearance in Salem, Massachusetts, Thursday night. “We earned everything we got and achieved as a team, and I am proud of that and so are our fans.”

Seahawks sign linemen Staff and wire reports At least two tryout players who participated in the Seattle Seahawks’ rookie minicamp over the weekend did enough to merit a longer look.

The team announced Monday that defensive end Julius Warmsley and guard Kona Schwenke have been added to the 90-man roster after participating in mincamp.

Warmsley, who went undrafted out of Tulane in 2014, spent part of last season on Seattle’s practice squad before being placed on the practice squad/IR list in November. He was signed after the season, then released earlier this month before getting an invite to minicamp.

In Schwenke, the Seahawks and offensive-line coach Tom Cable will try to convert yet another defensive lineman to the other side of the ball.

Schwenke started seven games as a defensive lineman during his senior season at Notre

Dame, and went undrafted in 2014. He spent time last season with Kansas City, New England, the New York Jets and Oakland.

The Seahawks start one former defensive lineman, J.R. Sweezy, at guard, and have drafted or signed multiple defensive linemen with the intention of moving them to offense, including 2015 sixthround pick Kristjan Sokoli, a defensive tackle at Buffalo who the Seahawks are converting to center.

Jets sign ex-Skyline QB FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets have signed quarterback Jake Heaps, who participated in their rookie minicamp over the weekend as a tryout player.

Heaps is a graduate of Skyline High School in Sammamish. He joins Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Simms and Bryce Petty in the Jets’ quarterback mix. He played two seasons at BYU, transferred to Kansas for a year and then went to Miami. He was 6-for-12 for 51 yards in three games for the Hurricanes last season.

Travel woes added to lost weekend for Sounders

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — If you travel enough, some of your travel plans are going to go wrong.

The Seattle Sounders feel like they’ve been traveling more than enough lately, and plenty went wrong Sunday on their return trip from Columbus.

“There was a flight change that didn’t get communicated to us until Friday,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “Our game was Saturday.

It affected our return flight. So we had to scramble, try to find new flights. Two of them went off without a hitch, so we got 13 of the players back at the time

we wanted to get them back.

But then there were five guys who were stuck on two flights that then hit weather delays and another cancellation, so some of the guys didn’t get back until (9 or 10 p.m. Sunday) night.”

For the unlucky five players — Schmid declined to name them — it made for an 18-hour travel day out of what the Sounders rank as one of the most difficult destinations in Major League Soccer.

“There’s two places for us in Seattle that are difficult for us to get into: Columbus, because we’ve got to connect, and the other one is Montreal,” Schmid said. “Those are the two where probably a charter could help

because every time you’ve got a connection you’ve got to deal with not only your plane — does it have a delay or mechanical problem — but the next one, does it have a delay or mechanical problem? It just makes for a long day.”

And that long day capped a frustrating weekend that included a 3-2 loss to the Crew.

“We know we didn’t have our best game,” captain and central defender Brad Evans said. “The first 15 minutes we had no idea what they were doing — we were completely lost. I think everybody can admit that. And then we figured it out and after 15 minutes we started keeping the ball. We

closed out the half well, and then they score within four minutes in the second half, and then we’re chasing, it opens things up, and you don’t want that on the road.

Comedy of errors.”

That result ended a three-game winning streak for the Sounders.

However, it didn’t cause a tumble in the Western Conference standings: Seattle started and ended the weekend third in the points race. However, the Sounders shouldn’t look back because four clubs loom just two points behind.

And they’re really riding the bumper of a Sounders team facing a particularly difficult test ahead: a third straight road game,

this time against Supporters’ Shield co-leader Vancouver.

“They’re playing the best soccer in the league right now,” Evans said. “… We’ve got to be good going away from home, and if that means playing a little more defensive, then that’s what it means. But the most important thing is to get a result on the road. Whether that means a tie or a win, after a long road stretch you’ll take either of those, and then you’ll take the (next) three games at home.”

The Sounders also can take consolation in knowing there won’t be any long airport delays this time. The team is traveling to British Columbia by bus.

As did Lowe, the one-time Seattle prospect who was called up in 2006 and pitched five seasons with the Mariners before he was sent to the Rangers, along with starter Cliff Lee, in a 2010 trade-deadline deal. Tours with the Angels, Rays and Indians followed, but Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik remembered Lowe as a hardthrowing reliever beset by some hard-luck injuries.

Lowe signed a minor-league deal with Seattle in December, and after showing lights-out stuff in Tacoma — 11 strikeouts and no walks over seven innings — he rejoined the Mariners to help buoy a struggling bullpen.

“If everybody pitches the way they should and the way they are expected to — as a bullpen and as a team — we should be fine,” Beimel said. “You’re going to hit rough patches and if you let those get out of control and snowball, it makes for a long season.

“But we have enough talent and enough guys in here to figure out what’s wrong and get back on track.”

BASEBALL | Notebook

Rangers demote Odor; Hamilton goes hitless in rehab start Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers sent struggling second baseman Rougned Odor back to the minor leagues Monday.

Odor hit .144 in 29 games for Texas before being optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. He struck out 25 times in 90 at-bats.

Odor was the youngest player in the majors at 20 years old when he made his major-league debut last May. He hit .259 while playing 114 games in 2014.

Hamilton goes 0-for-4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton went 0-for-4 in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday night.

Hamilton played left field for the first seven innings against Nashville at First Tennessee Park. The 2010 AL MVP is hitting .143 (1-for-7) in his first two rehab games.

The 33-year-old Hamilton is on the 15-day disabled list after undergoing right shoulder surgery in February. He was acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels on April 27. The No. 1 overall selection in the 1999 MLB draft

has had trouble with drugs and alcohol for much of his career. He self-reported a cocaine and alcohol relapse this winter.

Tanaka to throw Tuesday ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — New York Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, his first since going on the 15day disabled list last month because of a right forearm strain and right wrist tendinitis.

Reds DFA Gregg CINCINNATI — The Reds designated struggling reliever Kevin Gregg for

assignment Monday before the start of a series against the Atlanta Braves.

Cincinnati had the NL’s worst bullpen in the second half of last season. The Reds signed Gregg to a minor-league deal in the offseason, and he made the team on a $1.5 million major-league contract.

Gregg was 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA in 11 relief appearances, giving up 12 earned runs and three homers in 10⅔ innings.

The Reds called up right-handed reliever Pedro Villarreal from Triple-A Louisville. He was 0-0 with a 10.13 ERA in an earlier stint this season, giving up three runs in 2⅔ innings.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — MVP Stephen Curry scored 21 of his 33 points by halftime, and the Golden State Warriors snapped their twogame playoff skid Monday night by routing the Memphis Grizzlies 101-84 to tie their NBA Western Conference semifinal at 2-2.

The Warriors hadn’t lost three straight games all season, and they never came close as they took back home-court advantage.

Curry hadn’t scored more than 23 points in this series, and he nearly had that by halftime.

Draymond Green had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors.

Former Washington State standout Klay Thompson added 15 points, Harrison Barnes 12 and Andre Iguodala 11.

Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Memphis and Zach Randolph had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Memphis point guard Mike Conley finished with 10 points and seven assists but was just 4-of-15 from the field.

Game 5 is Wednesday at Golden State.

Memphis coach Dave Joerger gave his Grizzlies a history lesson, reminding them how they had blown 2-1 leads in the postseason.

It didn’t help. The Grizzlies lost their fourth straight Game 4, three of those on their own court.

Golden State led by as many as 26 points, and the Warriors enjoyed their best shooting night of the series, knocking down 14 3-point shots. Green hit his first three shots, and he finished with three 3-pointers after coming into the game 5-of-17 outside the arc in the series.

Memphis led only briefly in the first quarter and never got within double digits in the second half.

The Warriors took control with a 16-6 run that turned a tie at 18 into a 34-24 lead early in the second quarter, their biggest lead since the opener of this series.

Curry didn’t take his first shot until 3:30 left in the first quarter, and he missed his first 3-pointer along with a layup. He settled down and had seven points by the end of the quarter, including a 27-footer giving Golden State a 28-20 lead at the end of the quarter.

The Warriors outscored Memphis 33-24 in the second quarter, taking a 61-44 lead into halftime.

Hawks 106, Wizards 101 WASHINGTON — Suddenly, the Atlanta Hawks went from so-so in the playoffs to looking a bit more like a No. 1 seed.

Jeff Teague scored 26 points, Paul Millsap added 19 points, six assists and five rebounds, and Al Horford had 18 points and 10 rebounds as three of Atlanta’s four All-Stars played significant roles to help the Hawks beat the Washington Wizards, evening their second-round playoff series at two games apiece.

Washington’s lone All-Star, point guard John Wall, missed his third consecutive game with a broken left hand.

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night at Atlanta.

“To me, personally, I think this is the best we’ve played all series,” said Millsap, who had eight points in Game 3, when he was dropped from the starting lineup because of flu-like symptoms. “Thirty assists, the way we played defense, the way we stepped up, the way we helped each other, the way we moved the basketball, the way we set screens.”

Two days after hitting a buzzerbeater to win Game 3, Washington’s Paul Pierce missed a 3-point attempt that would have tied the score coming out of a timeout with 9.5 seconds left.

ponents) when they outsize me.”

But as much as she loves the game itself, there is equal joy in the camaraderie. Miller, who skates for Camaro Harem in the fourteam league, said the other Rollergirls have been “be-

yond supportive. If I need to sit out, they let me sit out. If I’m having a bad day, they’re the first to give me a hug. It’s just love. Yeah, we hit each other on the track, but we love each other.”

Derci, has been a teammate since Miller joined Camaro Harem in 2012. At the outset, Desautels said, Miller was “pretty private” about her disease. It took months before Desautels found out, “and I was surprised to hear about that. (MS) is a tough thing that you don’t usually associate with playing roller derby.”

Though Miller has sometimes excused herself during strenuous practices, “it’s been no more than some of our other skaters that are not dealing with anything like this,” Desautels said. “She’s not going to let this hold her back at all.

She’s always at practice, she never misses a game, and she’s one of our top players.

… She just has the mental strength you have to have to do this.”

Because MS is an insidious disease — crafty in its ways, cruel in its intent — it is impossible for Miller or any other sufferer to know the future. Symptoms can be manageable for many years and then suddenly become more severe. The harsh truth is that MS proceeds at its own pace without compassion and, as yet, without a cure.

Twenty years from now, “I could still be where I am right now,” Miller said. “Or I could be in a wheelchair.

You can’t predict because with MS every single case is different. That’s why I’m trying to live it up as much as I can, while I can. I’m not going to let this get me down because I’ve seen people who’ve taken that road and I’ve seen how fast MS can take them over.

“I’m going to skate until I can’t skate anymore,” she said. “I’m only 30 years old and I still have a long life ahead of me. This is just some stupid disease, and I’m not going to let it be an excuse for me to give up.”

Abbotsford, B.C., at the time. Miller went one day to watch a roller derby match, was immediately intrigued and soon signed up for a team. She skated in Canada for two years before the couple moved to Lynnwood in 2012, and at that point she joined the Everett-based Jet City Rollergirls, where she is now in her third full season.

Though never a top athlete in high school — “I was more of a bookworm,” she said — Miller has a passion for roller derby. At 5-foot-4 and 127 pounds, she is smaller than many skaters, “but what I don’t have in size, I try to make up for in other ways. I try to see things before they happen, and I try to outsmart (op-
