City could settle video request for $45K An Olympia man may be paid $45,000 to end litigation over his demand that the city of Everett give him copies of videos of bikini baristas behaving badly.

By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — It looks as if an Olympia man could get a check for $45,000 from the city

of Everett, along with copies of police surveillance videos of bikini baristas behaving badly.

The Everett City Council on Wednesday is scheduled to consider a settlement that city

attorneys negotiated with prolific public records requester Arthur West.

The deal would bring an end to litigation over West’s 2014 demand for the barista videos. It also would memorialize his offer to not publish any of them on the Internet unless they contain images of public officials engaged in misconduct.

“I’m very encouraged that the

city and I could come to a reasonable arrangement that would guarantee that the public interest would be served while not publishing all of the videos online,” West said. “It was never my intention to publish the videos of the baristas online.”

The record also is clear that West has for months quietly been seeking a cash payout in the case. He retained an attorney

‘Day on’ in the community

last summer who repeatedly demanded $150,000 or more to make the controversy go away.

West sought surveillance videos that Everett police and the FBI gathered as they investigated public corruption and prostitution at sexpresso stands in Snohomish County.

Teens volunteer at projects around county for MLK Day of Service Herald Writer

EVERETT — Friends since middle school, Harneet Grewal, Jocelyn Ramirez and Mckayla Mueller spent the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday together. They didn’t see a movie. They didn’t shop. With heavy gloves and gardening tools, they volunteered for the MLK Day of Service.

At Howarth Park on Monday, the teens joined with the Green Everett Partnership in a cleanup and restoration effort. They ripped out invasive English ivy

and put in native plants.

Tugging a tangle of ivy from the damp ground, 15-year-old Ramirez put some muscle into the task. “It’s really in there,” the Mariner High School freshman said.

Also a ninth-grader at Mariner, Grewal, 14, coaxed her friends into helping after volunteering previously with United Way of Snohomish County. Mueller, 14, attends Kamiak High School.

The work at Howarth Park was one of 14 projects organized for the MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County. Billed as a

EVERETT — There were 583 fewer vehicle thefts in Snohomish County in 2015 but it is hard to pinpoint exactly why.

Detectives believe the drop is due to a combination of factors, including crime-prevention education efforts, media coverage and aggressive prosecutions that have placed some of the region’s most prolific car thieves behind bars and off the street.

“We put a lot of people in prison in 2015,” said Terry Haldeman, a sheriff’s detective with the multi-agency Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force.

Sentences get longer for repeat offenders under state law and many of the car thieves sent away had previous records. Some were believed responsible for stealing hundreds of cars.

“There is not a lot of wiggle room,” Haldeman said. “People are seeing real time.”

The average prison term for car thieves arrested by the task force in 2015 was three years, although many of the defendants also were convicted of other crimes, such as drug possession, eluding police and illegally possessing firearms that contributed to the length of their sentences.

Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey dies at 67

By Hillel Italie

Eagles in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, along with guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner. Their popularity grew steadily, and they embodied for many listeners the melodic Los Angeles sound despite having no native Californians in the group. Critics often dismissed them as slick and unadventurous, but their blend of mellow ballads and macho rockers, and of pop and folk and country, gave them unusually broad appeal.

An Eagles greatest-hits collection and “Hotel California,” both released in the 1970s, have sold more than 20 million copies each and are among the best-selling

albums of modern times.

The band’s total album sales top 100 million copies.

The Eagles’ many hit singles include “The Best of My Love,” “Desperado,” “One of These Nights” and “The Long Run.” The impulsive Frey and the more cerebral Henley shared songwriting and singing duties, with Frey’s drawling tenor featured on “Heartache Tonight,” “Already Gone” and the group’s breakthrough hit, “Take it Easy.”

Henley said crossing paths with Frey in 1970 “changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet.”

Their popularity well outlasted their breakup in 1980 and the 14-year hiatus that followed. Their records remained consistent sellers, and they were a top touring act over the last 20 years even though Frey and Henley were the only remaining original members. They were joined on stage by guitarist Joe Walsh, who replaced Leadon in the mid-1970s, and bassist Timothy B. Schmit, who stepped in after Meisner quit in 1977.

Guitarist Don Felder was added in 1974 but was fired in 2001 amid disputes over money.

The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and was supposed to have been honored at the Kennedy Center last month, but the appearance was postponed because of Frey’s health. Its six Grammys include Record of the Year for “Hotel California” and best country performance by a vocal duo or group for “How Long,” from the 2007 album “Long Road Out of Eden,” another No. 1 seller.

Frey had occasional success as a solo artist, with songs including “The One You Love” and “You Belong to the City,” and careers in movies and television. He appeared on episodes of “Miami Vice” and “Nash Bridges,” both featuring his friend Don Johnson, and appeared in the film “Jerry McGuire,” directed

by Cameron Crowe, who had befriended him after he interviewed the Eagles for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s. Frey’s “The Heat Is On” was a hit from the “Beverly Hills Cop” soundtrack, and his “Smuggler’s Blues” inspired a “Miami Vice” episode of the same name.

A Showtime documentary, “The History of the Eagles,” aired in 2013. Last summer, the group completed a two-year “History of the Eagles” tour.

Frey, known for his

oversized jaw, big grin and wavy dark hair, loved music, girls and the rock ‘n’ roll life. He was playing in bands as a teenager, with fellow Detroit musician Bob Seger among his early friends, and would meet up with Henley, Meisner and Leadon while all were trying to catch on in the Los Angeles music scene. For a time the four backed Linda Ronstadt, and other musicians they came to know were Jackson Browne, who wrote most of “Take it Easy,” and J.D. Souther, who collaborated on “New Kid in Town” and other songs.

Anyone around them at the time knew they were determined to make it and make it big. The Eagles’ personnel, sound and overall direction would change often in the ‘70s as they adapted to the changes of the decade itself. “Take it Easy,” released in 1972, defined their early image as mellow, country-influenced musicians, but they soon desired a harder, more straightforward rock sound. They added Felder, whose work was featured on “Already Gone” and other uptempo songs.

When a frustrated Leadon, a bluegrass picker, quit in 1975, they brought in Walsh, one of music’s wildest and loudest performers.

to the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority.

The task force continued to see familiar motives behind thefts. They dismantled chop shops where stolen cars are stripped for parts while tracking down people who were stealing cars just to get from one point to another.

“Nothing has really changed,” Haldeman said.

“We are still running the gamut.”

The majority of cases are driven by the drug trade, especially heroin addiction, Haldeman said.

The task force also recovered 18 pieces of stolen heavy machinery worth more than a half million dollars.

The most popular cars to steal across the state remain 1990s-era Hondas and Toyotas because they are among the easiest to break into, according to a

2014 report.

Technology also could lead to reductions in car thefts in the future because newer vehicles carry more sophisticated antitheft technology, the National Insurance Crime Bureau reported.

Experts in auto theft prevention say people should not leave valuable items in their cars and need to make sure they lock the car doors.

“What we are seeing is crimes of opportunity,” Haldeman said.

Thieves might be looking for laptops or other electronics and end up driving off with the car.

“They will be prowling one car in the driveway and find the keys for it in the car sitting next to it,” Haldeman said.

NEW YORK — Glenn Frey, a rock ‘n’ roll rebel from Detroit who journeyed west, co-founded the Eagles and with Don Henley became one of history’s most successful songwriting teams with such hits as “Hotel California” and “Life in the Fast Lane,” has died.

Frey, 67, died of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia, the band said on its website.

He died Monday in New York. He had fought the ailments for the past several weeks, the band said.

“The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery,” a statement on the band’s website said. “Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.”

Frey’s health problems, including diverticulitis, dated to the 1980s. He would blame in part his years of “burgers and beer and blow and broads” and later became a fitness advocate.

Guitarist Frey and drummer Henley formed the

Superior Court Judge George Appel in December ruled the city’s “inspectbut-don’t copy” position violated the Public Records Act. West said the litigation was appropriate because the city’s had created what he called a “peek-a-boo” exemption to disclosure.

City officials may have taken that stance in good faith, but they still deprived him legal access to records that contain evidence of official misconduct, he said

last week.

Investigators have never maintained otherwise.

Darrell O’Neill, a former Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant, was sentenced to a year in jail last week for the felony of conspiring to engage in laundering money connected to the sexpresso business. He only began admitting the scope of his illegal conduct when confronted by video evidence showing him in uniform in intimate embrace with coffee hut workers, records show.

The investigation found the stands were multimillion-dollar operations that mixed selling coffee drinks with customers paying baristas for sexually explicit conduct, primarily flashing

private parts but also exchanging sex for money.

The state Public Records Act allows a judge to impose penalties for each day a government illegally withholds records. Assistant city attorney Ramsey Ramerman said settling with West now makes sense given the court’s ruling.

“The benefits to the city are quickly diminishing if we try to litigate over the settlement amount,” Ramerman said.

That doesn’t mean the settlement was reached without pushing back and forth.

West, who is not an attorney, represented himself in the courtroom to argue the public records aspects of the case. He also retained

Round 1: Eyman’s tax-cut battle begins

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — The legality of Tim Eyman’s latest tax-cut ballot measure will be argued in a King County courtroom Tuesday, the first round in a battle the state Supreme Court might ultimately decide.

Superior Court Judge William Downing will hear arguments on the validity of Initiative 1366, which slashes the sales tax by

a penny in mid-April unless lawmakers put a tax-limiting constitutional amendment on the ballot for November.

Attorneys said they anticipate a ruling within a matter of days, after which the losing side would most likely appeal directly to the high court.

Eyman, a Mukilteo resident, is confident of victory.

“I’m optimistic. I really think the court will dismiss the lawsuit and the Legislature will have

to choose the path they want to take,” Eyman said. “The 2016 Legislature is not going to be saved by the courts.”

Initiative 1366 passed with 51.5 percent of the statewide vote in November.

It reduces the 6.5 percent state sales tax to 5.5 percent on April 15 unless lawmakers place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot which, if passed, would require a two-thirds legislative majority to raise taxes.

Opponents, who sued in late November, contend the measure exceeds the scope of state law that bars ballot measures from addressing multiple unrelated subjects.

Attorney Paul Lawrence contends the court needs to invalidate the measure because I-1366 contains two subjects and uses one, the sales tax cut, to achieve the second, the constitutional amendment.

Also, initiatives cannot amend

Sparking new life lessons

the state Constitution, as I-1366 is constructed to do, said Lawrence, who represents a group that includes two Democratic lawmakers and the League of Women Voters of Washington “I-1366 is an improper endrun around the Constitution that would have serious negative consequences if upheld, not only because of the fiscal havoc it will cause, but more significantly for See EYMAN, Page A4

Bill would tie Boeing tax breaks to jobs

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

heard Monday demands data from school districts on how they use local levy money.

The bill provides money for analysis of that data and creates a new task force to look at the data and other issues related to the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Sen. Christine Rolfes, a Democrat from Bainbridge Island who is one of the sponsors of the bill, said it was a “pretty big set of compromises” between the Legislature’s different factions. She

OLYMPIA — An Everett lawmaker renewed her efforts Monday to tie the state’s huge tax break for the Boeing Co. with the number of people the aerospace giant employs in Washington.

Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, introduced a bill to require the company to maintain certain job levels in order to reap the full benefits of tax incentives extended in 2013. As written, House Bill 2638 could result in Boeing losing half its tax break because of reductions in its workforce the past two years.

Robinson pushed similar legislation last session without success. This year’s version has two Republican co-sponsors, a sign she said of concerns about layoffs and transfers of Boeing workers since the Legislature acted.

“I just think as jobs continue to leave the state, more and more people are getting frustrated,” Robinson said Monday.

The House Finance Committee plans a hearing on her bill at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. TVW will broadcast and stream it live.

House Bill 2638 would amend the 2013 law that helped land the 777X program in Everett by extending the expiration date on a suite of tax incentives from 2024 to 2040. The move will save Boeing an estimated $8.7 billion in tax payments to the state through 2040.

The bill would tie the amount of incentive with the size of Boeing’s workforce in Washington.

It sets a baseline of 83,295 jobs which is the number Boeing reported employing in the state at the time the tax break extension was approved.

If the company’s total employment here drops between 4,000 and 5,000 below that baseline, it loses half of its preferential business and occupation tax rate and tax credit. In other words, it will pay more taxes.

The threshold has already been crossed. Boeing’s latest workforce report shows 79,238 jobs in Washington as of Dec. 31 — which is 4,057 fewer than when the tax break got extended.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 751 and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace helped Robinson craft the bill as they did with last year’s version.

The two unions contend the

The teens were learning how to cut into cars and rescue people who become trapped after crashes. They are fire cadets, taking a year-long class at the high school that’s taught by crews from Camano Island Fire and Rescue.

The students practiced in the

classroom with hydraulic tools — sometimes called the “jaws of life” — before last week’s drill at Pick-n-Pull, an auto parts store in Arlington.

“Just all of the sparks flying off, I’ve never done something like this before,” said senior Allegra Butters, 17. “It’s a new experience and I really like it.”

The class helps the fire department recruit new members, but the crews also try to teach the teens life lessons, said Bobby Guadamuz, a 32-year-old firefighter who runs the class.

He would know. He took it in high school.

Guadamuz helped the

Camano fire department restart the class after a hiatus, Assistant Fire Chief Levon Yengoyan said.

“I love it when we get feedback from the parents in the change they’ve seen from their kids,” Yengoyan said. “It’s a little bit more respect, a little more responsibility, the kinds of things that are going to benefit them in whatever career they wind up choosing.”

Volunteer firefighter Travis Mason is the lead instructor. He sees it as giving back. He was a cadet before graduating from Stanwood High School in 2013.

“I just loved everything about it, and I made a final decision,”

he said. “This is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life.”

This year’s class has around two dozen students, including four young women. About a quarter of the courses offered at the high school involve vocational training.

On Jan. 12, that meant the abuse of a busted-up Toyota Corolla with flattened tires and doors that had been stripped for parts.

Firefighter Erich Schweiger oversaw the action, giving careful instructions, hinge-by-hinge and bolt-by-bolt.

Proposal to fix Washington school funding gets hearing

By Walker Orenstein Associated Press

front porch

OLYMPIA — The plan announced by Washington lawmakers in early January that seeks to fix the way the state pays for education was met with much criticism and some qualified support in its first public hearing Monday.

Many spoke against Senate Bill 6195 for not saying how the Legislature will reduce its reliance on local school levies to pay for basic education, only making

a commitment to try and solve the issue next year.

“It creates the appearance of action when it is in reality a way to avoid the obligation of the governor and legislators to fully fund basic education,” testified Dan Grimm, special assistant to state Superintendent Randy Dorn.

The state Supreme Court ruled four years ago that the way the state pays for education is unconstitutional.

Lawmakers have been trying to respond to the so-called McCleary decision

Lynnwood council changes The Lynnwood City Council has elected new leadership for 2016. M. Christopher Boyer will serve as council president, with Councilman Benjamin Goodwin as vice president.

The vote was taken at the Jan. 11 meeting, the first of-

since then and have added more than $2 billion to the state’s education budget.

But according to the court, the Legislature hasn’t met some requirements of the McCleary ruling, such as shrinking its reliance on local levies. The court is fining the Legislature $100,000 a day until lawmakers complete their obligations.

Some lawmakers say they can’t fix overreliance on levies until they figure out how much of that levy money is going toward basic education. The bill

ficial gathering of the council this year. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday. It was held over due to the holiday on Monday. Tuesday’s meeting is expected to include a review of the “Fix It List” for the council.

Volunteer honored: Camano Island Fire and Rescue recently honored a long-time volunteer firefighter. Keith Pappas started

volunteering for the department when he was 19. He is retiring 29 years later.

“The district is so thankful for the many years of service Keith has given us,” Fire Chief Michael Schick said in a news release. “It is so rare to find someone that is willing to give so much time and effort to their neighbors, and we are sorry to see him go.”

Open house at EvCC’s ORCA: An open house at Everett Community College’s Ocean Research College Academy will be held at 6 p.m. Jan. 28 at the school’s waterfront location, 1205 Craftsman Way, Suite 203.

Visitors and prospective students will be able to see student work, meet faculty, learn about the program and tour the facility, including the oceanography

research lab and 120-gallon seawater tank.

ORCA is an early college academy for high school students, who can earn up to two years of college credit while completing their high school education.

the damage it would do to the proper functioning of government here in Washington,” he wrote in a brief filed with the court.

But the state Attorney General’s Office, which by law must defend voter-approved ballot measures, counters there’s nothing illegal about I-1366.

It does not itself amend the Constitution and contains only one legislative act, the sales tax cut, according to the agency’s brief.

“Simply because Plaintiffs disagree with the policy choice that the voters made — to reduce the state sales tax rate unless a contingency occurs — that does not make I-1366 unconstitutional or an illegitimate exercise of the people’s initiative power,” wrote Deputy Solicitor General Callie Castillo in the brief.

“Nothing in the state Constitution suggests that the people cannot express through an initiative their policy desire for a constitutional amendment,” wrote Castillo, who will argue the case on Tuesday. “Plaintiffs’ conclusion that the original idea or motivation for a constitutional amendment can only come from the Legislature itself, and not from the people, is absurd.”

Meanwhile, as lawyers debate the measure in King County, lawmakers are trying to figure out how to respond during the 60-day legislative session that is under way.

state gave Boeing too good a deal by not clawing back any of the tax breaks when the firm ships jobs out of state.

Larry Brown, political director for the Machinists, said he’s “very optimistic” the bill will get a vote this year because of what’s occurred.

“As we see Boeing continuing to shed jobs from the state of

prefers the bill to be called “a plan for coming to a solution” rather than a plan for a plan, as many have dubbed it. The bill was pieced together by a bipartisan group of lawmakers that have been meeting since the 2015 legislative session.

Many at the hearing said they appreciated the work that went into creating the bill, even if it didn’t meet every expectation.

If the sales tax is lowered, the state will take in several hundred million fewer dollars in this budget cycle. That could force lawmakers to hold a special session to trim spending in numerous programs and cut services.

Republican lawmakers, who embraced I-1366, say the budget concerns can be avoided by putting a constitutional amendment on the ballot. A Senate committee plans a hearing Thursday on possible language for such a measure.

But it takes a two-thirds majority of the Legislature to place such a measure on the ballot, and Democratic lawmakers won’t go along. They are convinced the Supreme Court will toss out I-366 and are prepared to deal with the consequences if they are wrong.

“Yes, I think that’s where our members are,” House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan said in a TVW interview Thursday.

That adds a little intrigue to Tuesday’s court proceedings, said Jason Mercier, government reform director for the Washington Policy Center, a business-oriented think tank that has long endorsed a public vote on the supermajority requirement.

“If you have a bench ruling agreeing with the attorney general brief that 1366 is constitutional, that would probably put more pressure on legislators to give more attention to the next steps,” Mercier said. “At the end of the day, this really needs to be settled once and for all at the ballot box.”

Washington, there is increasing interest in providing accountability for the largest single tax break for any industry by any state,” Brown said.

Representatives of aerospace firms which do business with Boeing are expected to testify against the bill.

“When you look at the indirect negative impact on them, it could be substantial,” said Kelly Maloney, executive director of the Aerospace Futures Alliance.

“The politics are very difficult. I understand that,” said Alan Burke, executive director of the Washington State Schools Directors’ Association. “But the reality is it’s going to be incredibly challenging to try to take care of the entire levy compensation issue in one year.”

Two bills that extend the date of the “levy cliff,” a 2018 deadline that would reduce school districts’ ability to raise money through local levies, were also heard in the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee on Monday.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY Hoquiam: Man who escaped back in jail HOQUIAM — Police have arrested a man who escaped from Grays Harbor County custody while on a medical furlough.

KBKW-AM reported that Harold Porter, 55, was treated at a hospital in Aberdeen after having an episode while in jail Thursday. He was to turn himself in once he was cleared from the hospital Saturday but he never did.

Authorities believed Porter’s condition was poor enough that he couldn’t walk away.

Police arrested Porter early Sunday morning after they said he showed up at home where he was initially arrested in November. He had been in jail awaiting trial on a felony assault charge for violating a no contact order.

Kent: Fire set at school An arson at an elementary school in Kent has caused extensive some and fire damage to a classroom.

A spokesman with the Kent Regional Fire Authority said no one was injured in the early Monday fire. No one was at the

Pierce County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Jerry Bates said Tacoma police arrested a 19-year-old man. They believe he was upset over “a bad breakup” with the woman’s teenage daughter.

The mother was driving home Monday morning when the suspect confronted her as she was leaving her car. She was shot multiple times.

The detective said the 5-yearold was in the backseat of the car at the time and wasn’t hurt, but she was “a witness to this murder.”

Cadets: Class builds confidence From Page A3

“It is fun, isn’t it?” he asked.

Students in their second year of the class get to act as officers, supervising the work of others.

That includes senior Chaysten Morgan, 18.

Morgan watched closely as junior Sara Wilkinson, 16, used an axe-like tool called a Halligan bar to break the back window.

“It’s a ripping motion, it’s not sawing,” Morgan told her. “(The tool) will rip through this like it’s nothing.”

Later, Wilkinson aimed a hydraulic power tool at the metal post connecting the passenger doors.

“Don’t be afraid to flip it and get some help with it,” Schweiger told her. “Get somebody else there. If it starts to pull you in, just let off the throttle.”

Wilkinson let out a whoop as the metal snapped free. The class has persuaded her to become a firefighter, she said. She likes learning about fire behavior and the different kinds of equipment.

“It’s crazy how you can just take a car apart,” she said.

Wilkinson was feeling the adrenaline during the drill, and thinking about what would happen if she was actually trying to rescue someone who was injured.

“Even though it’s practice, it still gets you,” she said. “You get like,

Bacon fat blamed for house fire Herald staff EVERETT — A two-alarm fire caused more than $100,000 damage to a home in south Snohomish County on Sunday night.

A man living in the 13600 block of Beverly Road reported the fire around 9 p.m. Sunday.

“He reported he had been heating bacon fat on the stove top and it had ignited, setting

the kitchen on fire,” said Leslie Hynes, a spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 1.

The man and his friend along with two dogs got out safely.

Firefighters rescued a cat, which a friend took to an emergency veterinary clinic to be checked for smoke inhalation.

When firefighters arrived, flames were coming through the roof, Hynes said.

Firefighters from Fire District 1, Fire District 7, Lynnwood, Everett and Mukilteo had the fire under control within 30 minutes. There were no injuries.

The fire left the house uninhabitable.

The man has insurance and planned to stay with friends.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office investigated the fire.

2 arrested on Whidbey suspected drug lab Herald staff COUPEVILLE — Detectives in Island County are investigating an illegal drug lab discovered over the weekend.

The lab was brought to the attention of the sheriff’s office by a property owner who had a neighbor check on his north Whidbey Island home due to a high electrical bill.

The neighbor found what he believed to be a drug lab in the downstairs bathroom, Sheriff Mark Brown reported. When deputies arrived, they found chemicals, glassware and other items.

The Washington State Patrol was called to assist in collecting evidence.

The Department of Ecology also sent a team to help with

the cleanup.

Detectives believe the lab might have been used for making hallucinogenic drugs but are awaiting lab results.

A woman and her son were arrested.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Chris Peabody at 360-678-4422 or through an anonymous tip at tips@co.island.wa.us.

Somers appointed to Sound Transit board Herald staff EVERETT — Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers has been named to the Sound Transit board of directors, one of the regional responsibilities he’ll shoulder in his new role.

Somers took office as executive at the beginning of the year after beating incumbent John Lovick in the November election.

The County Council named

Somers to the transit agency’s 18-member board last week.

The council also reappointed Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling.

Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts is the third board member from Snohomish County.

Important decisions loom as the Sound Transit board crafts a ballot measure known as ST3, which would raise taxes to pay for light-rail expansion to Everett, Tacoma and other destinations.

The agency is collecting information from local governments about preferred routes.

Somers was named earlier this month as vice president of the Puget Sound Regional Council, a planning group that takes on regional issues relevant to Snohomish, King, Pierce and Kitsap counties.

The PSRC coordinates with cities, towns, ports, tribes, transit agencies and state government.

Frognal Estates public hearing rescheduled Herald staff MUKILTEO — A hearing about whether to approve a 112-home subdivision in the unincorporated Picnic Point area has been rescheduled over the week of Feb. 29 and the following week.

Snohomish County Hearing Examiner Peter Camp scheduled five days of testimony on the Frognal Estates project with

one night session.

A bloc from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 29 is set aside to hear public comments.

Camp cancelled hearings scheduled for the week of Jan. 11 because county planning staff had failed to notify some nearby landowners.

The 22-acre Frognal Estates site is near Picnic Point Elementary School. It’s the last large undeveloped tract in Mukilteo’s

urban growth area and could one day be annexed by the city.

The Picnic Point Preservation Committee, a neighborhood group, is challenging the project over concerns such as landslide risks, stormwater runoff and traffic.

Representatives from the developer, Integral Northwest, of Everett, contend they have adequately designed the project to account for those impacts.

USS John C. Stennis leaves on 7-month deployment Associated Press BREMERTON — The USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier is off on a seven-month deployment in the western Pacific Ocean.

The Kitsap Sun reported that the mission is to keep the peace in the region, possibly by

showing force to North Korea or supporting friends over disputed islands in the South China Sea. The ship could steam from Japan to New Zealand and anywhere in between.

The ship and its strike group also plans exercises with other navies, boosting their ability to operate with the U.S. and on

their own. The Stennis, which has a crew of 3,100, departed Friday.

The carrier hasn’t deployed since back-to-back Middle East trips wrapped up in May 2013. That was followed by an 18-month maintenance period at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and seven training voyages.

Airplane 101: Teachers become students

A group of teachers from the Puget Sound area attended Airplane 101, hosted by Boeing as part of the company’s STEM outreach efforts.

As part of its STEM outreach efforts, Boeing gives teachers an interactive lesson about airplanes and aerodynamics they can take back to their classrooms

B

ecoming students for the day, a group of Puget Sound area teachers participated in interactive exercises illustrating basic aerodynamic principles such as lift, thrust, drag and weight that they could take back to their classrooms during a recent day-long Airplane 101 class in Everett, Wash.

The program, hosted by Flight Services Marketing and the Museum of Flight, is one way Boeing aims to build students’ interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). By bringing teachers in to experience airplanes up close and talk with experts, Boeing gives them a unique perspective on the principles of flight, which they can then share with their students.

Larry Seto, product marketing manager of flight training for Flight Services, led the teachers through the interactive exercises.

Later, the lessons came to life when the group toured the Commercial Airplanes factory and the 787 Dreamliner static test bed, where they saw how Boeing simulates stresses on the airframe.

“I now can offer my students real-world examples of careers in aviation,” one teacher wrote in an anonymous evaluation of the class.

Another wrote, “I plan to use these teaching techniques and examples in my class.”

The teachers indicated that touring the production line — and taking aerospace knowledge beyond books — was particularly important to them. “I like having personal experience to refer to when teaching,” one teacher wrote.

As Boeing prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2016, preparing and inspiring future innovators is a key focus, and programs like this can help influence the education environment, according to Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services.

“Teachers play an incredible role in shaping our future workforce,” Carbary said “This was a great opportunity to give teachers the tools they need to incorporate basic aviation principles into their curriculum.”

eattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright (#50) can be forgiven if years from now he doesn’t remember everything he saw during a tour in late December of Boeing’s facility in Everett, Wash. That’s because his VIP tour of the Everett Flightline and factory ended with him on bended knee before his longtime girlfriend, Nathalie.

As two Boeing employees, wearing bow ties with their coveralls, unfurled a banner saying, “Nathalie – will you marry me?”

down the side of a 787, Wright popped the question before his shocked girlfriend and her family who were visiting for the holidays.

Needless to say, the answer was yes!

Wright devised the unique proposal plan because his now-fiancee’s father is an aviation enthusiast who he knew would enjoy a tour of Boeing’s Everett site. Wright was joined on the tour by another notable guest – teammate Jimmy Graham – a registered pilot.

Linking up for the long game: Boeing, Callaway fulfill need for speed

W

Golf company calls on aerospace engineers to help design faster club

hen engineers from Boeing and the Callaway Golf Co. got together for a cross-industry collaboration last year, the knowledge and experience applied to airplanes on the runway resulted in a golf club that can drive a ball farther down a fairway.

An innovation by Boeing engineers to modify air flow around the club contributed to what they have validated through testing as a faster driver — Callaway’s XR 16.

The project began last year when Callaway sought the expertise of the world’s leading aerospace company.

“We’ve made a lot of strides over the years to improve aerodynamic efficiency in our products, but we decided it might be a good idea to call on the experts at Boeing and ask, ‘could your expertise help us design a faster club?’” said Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at Callaway.

That simple question led to a special assignment for a small team of engineers led by Wayne Tygert, chief project engineer of 787 Airplane Development, and Jeffrey Crouch, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow, Aero Flow Physics, who saw it as an opportunity to learn from experts in other industries.

“Reducing drag, controlling air flow and improving aerodynamic performance is a critical part of airplane design and something we take a lot of pride in doing extremely well,” Crouch said.

“I was very curious to see how we could translate our experience to golf club design.”

Newer team members like Adam Clark, an aerodynamics engineer in Flight Sciences, and Harrison Chau, a configuration design engineer in Airplane Configuration and Integration, gained valuable experience on short-flow product development and innovation cycles.

DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN

Despite the collective knowledge of the Boeing and Callaway group, the project presented some unique challenges, the engineers said. For example, unlike airplanes, drivers move through space with rapid changes in orientation.

Crouch, with Clark and Chau, determined that the best method to increase the speed of the driver was to use a local air-flow modifier, called the Speed Step, on top of the club head. The Speed Step essentially alters the flow of air around the driver head enough to improve its speed from the top of the swing through impact with a golf ball. The increased speed upon impact can lead to greater distance for the driven golf ball — something every golfer of any talent level seeks.

“I love my job as an aerodynamicist at Boeing, but it’s always great to learn from engineers in other industries,” Clark said.

“This was a great opportunity to push my- Callaway Golf’s newly-signed PGA TOUR Pro self and grow my skills and experience.” Marc Leishman tests out the new XR 16 driver.

Wyoming officials back various schemes in bid to rescue coal

By Mead Gruver Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Public enemy No. 1 for climate change and no longer the fossil fuel utilities prefer to burn to generate electricity, coal has few allies these days.

But one state is still fighting to save the industry: Wyoming.

From a proposal to burn the stuff underground to hosting a contest to find profitable uses for carbon dioxide from power plants, the top coal-producing state has spent tens of millions of dollars for a coal savior — with little to show.

Big-time state spending was easy in Wyoming not long ago. Good times

for coal, oil and natural gas created huge budget surpluses.

Now that all three industries are suffering from low prices, looming deficits in the Cowboy State are raising an old question: Is it time to diversify the economy beyond fossil fuels?

“They’ve chosen to support the coal industry whether it makes any sense or not. I mean, we’re basically a coal colony,” said Bob LeResche, chairman of the Powder River Basin Resource Council landowners group.

Some of the coal industry’s top players, including Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources, have filed for bankruptcy as utilities switch to cheaper and

cleaner-burning natural gas and the cost of renewable energy keeps falling.

The Obama administration Friday suspended the leasing program for coal on federal lands, most of which occur in Wyoming and neighboring Montana.

Will a Superman for coal come to the rescue in time?

“The odds look pretty slim right now,” said Rob Godby, a University of Wyoming professor.

The stakes for Wyoming are high. Coal mining and directly related business account for 14 percent of the economy and 1 in 5 jobs in the state, according to the university’s Center for Energy Economics.

Here’s a look at what

Wyoming has done — often at public expense — to try to save coal:

Underground coal gasification Wyoming regulators recently agreed to let an Australian company pollute groundwater to experiment with a use for coal that doesn’t involve burning it in a power plant.

Underground coal gasification involves partially burning coal still in the ground.

The process yields a mix of gases called syngas, which can be burned more cleanly than coal directly.

The Australian company, Linc Energy, has proposed a demonstration plant in the Powder

River Basin, an arid coalmining region in northeast Wyoming and southeast Montana that supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s coal.

The process leaves a chemical brew in the ground. Regulators in Queensland, Australia, accuse Linc of causing serious environmental harm at underground coal gasification projects there.

Wyoming and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agreed to let the Wyoming project proceed even if it contaminated groundwater.

But low natural gas prices appear to have stalled the project. Linc officials didn’t return a message seeking comment.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Carbon sequestration Six years ago, the University of Wyoming’s Carbon Management Institute began investigating whether a 25-square mile area in southwest Wyoming could trap carbon dioxide emitted from power plants.

The institute spent $17 million of taxpayer money drilling a 12,000-foot-deep well in 2011.

But it stopped because researchers realized it would cost as much as $750 million to acquire enough carbon dioxide to complete the experiment.

“I don’t think it was a waste at all. It was a good chunk of research in the real world,” said Rob Hurless, deputy director of the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources.

Turning coal into diesel, gasoline and other liquid fuels isn’t a new idea. Germany did it during World War II and a company proposed it in Wyoming as oil prices began to creep toward record highs in 2007.

The $2 billion DKRW Advanced Fuels plant outside the tiny town of Medicine Bow in southern Wyoming never got off the drawing board — except for a couple concrete pads and $1.9 million in state funding to rebuild 13 miles of road for the project.

Low global oil prices now threaten to shut down the project once and for all. DKRW officials recently warned local officials it isn’t feasible at current prices.

Carbon XPrize Utilities that burn coal might have more of an incentive to remove carbon dioxide from smokestacks if they could put the gas to profitable use.

That’s the theory behind a $20 million competition organized by the XPrize Foundation.

Private energy industry is funding the prize, but Wyoming has pledged $15 million to build a lab at Basin Electric’s Dry Fork Station, a coal-fired power plant near Gillette in northeast Wyoming.

The lab will have room for several scientific tenants besides XPrize to conduct research into using smokestack carbon dioxide. It is slated to become operational in July 2017.

Finding new markets Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead and other Wyoming officials also have been to Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and China in recent years to promote Wyoming coal — with no new markets to show for their efforts.

One problem is that the West Coast lacks port facilities to export much of Wyoming’s coal.

Regulators are reviewing big coal terminal proposals in Oregon and Washington — projects supported by some locals but opposed by others, including American Indian tribes and environmentalists.

Last year, the Wyoming Legislature authorized issuing up to $1 billion in state bonds, if necessary, to finance construction of those terminals.

The state hasn’t gone that route yet, but Mead said he expects the port facilities to win regulatory approval.

“Listen, coal’s valuable. It’s plentiful,” Mead said. “It is being used and will continue to be used around the planet, regardless of what we do in this country.”

Freed Americans reach West

By Andrew Roth and William Branigin The Washington Post

LANDSTUHL, Germany — Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post reporter who was freed Saturday after almost 18 months of incarceration in an Iranian prison, said Monday he was “feeling good” physically as he recovers in a U.S. military hospital here.

Also released in a prisoner deal with Iran linked to the implementation of a landmark nuclear agreement were former Marine Amir Hekmati, 32, of Flint, Michigan, and Christian pastor Saeed Abedini, 35, of Boise, Idaho. The three were flown out of Iran on Sunday.

A fourth released Iranian-American, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, opted to remain in Iran.

An American student who was freed separately, Matthew Trevithick, 30, flew out Saturday on his own.

Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron and Foreign Editor Douglas Jehl said Rezaian “looked good” during a two-hour meeting at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near the Ramstein Air Base.

Rezaian, 39, was freed Saturday from Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison. Baron and Jehl said Monday evening that the face-to-face meeting so soon after Rezaian’s return was an encouraging sign. Doctors and psychiatrists at the hospital are assessing Rezaian’s health, and the recovery process in similar cases can take months or years.

“I want people to know that physically I’m feeling good,” said Rezaian, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans provided to him on board the Swiss plane that flew the released prisoners to freedom.

“I know people are eager to hear from me, but I want to process this for some time.”

Abedini had been imprisoned since July 2012 for organizing home churches.

Hekmati spent more than four years behind bars on spying charges following his arrest in August 2011 during a visit to see his grandmother.

Members of Hekmati’s family and the congressman from their district, Democratic Rep. Daniel Kildee, met with Hekmati at the U.S. military hospital for about 15 minutes Monday, the family said.

Months of isolation On Monday, Rezaian described months of extraordinarily limited human interaction, and said that at one point he spent 49 days in solitary confinement. Later, he was put in a 15-by-20-foot room with three cots and no

“It’s going to have an emotional impact of a serious nature.”

New sanctions follow

mattresses. For exercise, he said, he would walk for up to five hours every day around an 8-by-8-foot concrete courtyard.

For most of his time in prison, Rezaian said he was being held by Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard, a military force aligned with hard-liners in the government that answers to Iran’s supreme leader and acts independently of the presidency.

Even when Rezaian was brought to hospitals, twice for eye infections and once for a groin infection, they were facilities run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

It was only in the final hours of his incarceration that Rezaian said he was transferred to the Ministry of Intelligence, a body more closely allied with President Hassan Rouhani.

Even once the nuclear deal had been announced, Rezaian’s own departure from Iran was “touch and go until the last minute.” The plane was delayed for hours, and U.S. officials were privately concerned that the deal had gone bad. Those hours, Rezaian said, were “hugely stressful.”

“I was not handed over to the Swiss until I was actually on the plane,” he said. Switzerland

represents U.S. interests in Iran in the absence of diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington.

Accompanying Rezaian on the flight to Germany were his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, an Iranian, and his mother, Mary Rezaian.

‘An emotional impact’ In Landstuhl, Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-N.C., who arrived Monday as part of a welcoming delegation for Abedini, said he joined in campaigning for Abedini’s freedom after hearing Abedini’s wife, Naghmeh, speak at a church in Charlotte about the case. Naghmeh is expected to arrive Tuesday, he said.

Pittenger said that he had not seen Abedini but that he had been briefed that the freed hostages were “generally speaking, in pretty good condition.”

“Physically, at least,” he added.

Pittenger said doctors would test for communicable diseases to see if any of the patients needed to be isolated, followed by “longer-term evaluations and analyses with the doctors and psychiatrists.”

“Particularly with Saeed, it

The historic nuclear accord with Iran dropped economic sanctions against the country and returned tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets in exchange for restrictions and tighter safeguards on Iran’s nuclear program.

Once the Americans had left Iran, the Obama administration announced new sanctions related to participation in Iran’s ballistic missile program. The sanctions, which applied to 11 people and companies, were issued under U.S. restrictions that remain in place despite the lifting Saturday of international sanctions linked to Iran’s nuclear program.

The Iranian government and military said Monday that the new sanctions show continued U.S. hostility toward Iran and vowed defiantly to further develop Iran’s missile program.

Iran’s defense minister, Revolutionary Guard Brig.

Gen. Hossein Dehghan, accused Washington of demonstrating “hatred toward the Iranian nation” with its “useless attempts to weaken Iran’s defense power.” He said Iran’s missile industries “are fully home-made” and impervious to sanctions, the semiofficial Fars News Agency reported.

Separately, President Rouhani pledged to the chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency that Iran would “never” pursue nuclear weapons, even without the intensified safeguards imposed by the nuclear deal.

“We will be committed to the fact that our nuclear program is peaceful and will never deviate to weapons,” he told Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in a meeting in Tehran, the Mehr News Agency reported.

3 Americans missing in Iraq reported kidnapped The Washington Post BAGHDAD — Three Americans reported missing from a Baghdad neighborhood were kidnapped by militiamen from an apartment in the capital, a senior police official and resident of the building said Monday.

A statement from Baghdad Operations Command confirmed that “three people with American citizenship” were abducted in the capital.

A Baghdad police colonel, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said that the Americans are employed as contractors at the Baghdad International Airport. He did not say which company employed the individuals.

Another police official in Baghdad, a major general also speaking on the condition of anonymity, gave the names of the abducted individuals as Amro Mohamed, Wael alMahdawi and Rusul Farad, a woman. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad did not respond to

Iraqi security forces fan out across the Baghdad neighborhood Monday where three Americans were reportedly kidnapped, closing streets and conducting house-to-house searches.

a request to verify the names.

Two senior security officials said the missing Americans are of Iraqi origin.

The three Americans appear to have been seized by Shiite militiamen in the Dora neighborhood in southern Baghdad, the police colonel said. The area from which they were taken is controlled by Shiite militias, including the

Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq, or League of the Righteous, he said.

The colonel said that the group had been invited to the home of their Iraqi interpreter.

But a resident of the apartment building where the Americans were reportedly seized said they were taken from a second-story apartment that he described as a well-known

brothel. A police major general also said the apartment was a brothel. The resident said the apartment is subject to frequent raids by Asaib Ahl al-Haq, although, typically, the men found inside are simply told to leave. He said he witnessed part of the raid but that it happened late at night and was over very quickly.

The Baghdad Operations Command described the apartment as “suspicious.” An intelligence officer assigned to Dora said agents had raided the apartment in the wake of the kidnapping and found whiskey bottles but that the residence had been abandoned. The owner of the apartment was a man locals referred to as “Abu Maria,” the intelligence officer and other residents in the area said. Abu Maria was known for throwing illicit parties, they said.

“They went to an inappropriate place,” Iraqi lawmaker Iskander Witwit said of the Americans, referring to the alleged brothel. “Iraqi security forces are working very hard now to locate them.”

ACROSS THE U.S.

Pentagon describes U.S. sailors’ capture WASHINGTON — In its first official account of Iran’s seizure and subsequent release of 10 U.S. sailors in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. military said Monday the only items missing from their two recovered boats were SIM cards for two satellite phones.

But key questions, such as why the sailors had deviated from their planned route to enter Iranian territorial waters, remain unanswered in the account released by U.S. Central Command. It’s calling the description a preliminary timeline of the events of Jan. 12-13.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said last week that the boat crews had “misnavigated.” He did not say how that mistake happened or provide other substantial details about the episode.

Hawaii: Life rafts found Authorities searching the area where two Marine helicopters crashed off Oahu have found some life rafts that were carried aboard the aircraft, but still no sign of the 12 crew members who were on board. The Coast Guard said Monday that three of the four life rafts confirmed to have been aboard the helicopters have been recovered.

Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers said there is no indication that anyone was aboard the rafts, based on their condition and the lack of any personal effects. The search for the Marines entered its fourth day Monday.

S.C.: MLK Day celebrated For the first time in 17 years, civil rights leaders gathered Monday at the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia to pay homage to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. without the Confederate flag casting a long shadow over them. The banner was taken down over the summer after police said a young white man who had posed for photos with a rebel flag shot nine black church members to death in Charleston.

The 30th anniversary of the holiday was celebrated in different ways.

In Michigan, people delivered bottled water to residents of Flint amid the city’s drinking water crisis. In Atlanta, the nation’s housing secretary talked about the 50th anniversary of King’s campaign for fair housing. In Minneapolis, activists marched onto a Mississippi River bridge to protest the deaths of two black men shot by police. In California, protesters from the Black Lives Matter group shut down one side of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

AROUND THE WORLD Yemen: Airstrike kills 26 An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition targeted a building used by police in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, killing at least 26 people and wounding about 15, security officials said Monday. The security officials, who are loyal to antigovernment Shiite rebels known as the Houthis, said some 30 people were believed still trapped in the debris. The dead and wounded were policemen and Houthi rebels, they said. The targeted building was partially used as a gathering point for security forces and on occasion used by the Houthis as an assembly point for forces headed to deployment elsewhere in Yemen.

Britain: Trump slammed Donald Trump doesn’t have many fans in Britain’s Parliament. But a debate among lawmakers on calls to ban Trump from the country revealed little appetite to close Britain’s doors to the provocative Republican presidential contender. During a debate Monday, legislators from Britain’s main parties stood to call Trump an attention-seeker, a demagogue and a fool. Many, though, argued that he should not be stifled or banned. Parliament took up the topic after half a million people signed a petition calling for Trump to be excluded over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States in the wake of extremist violence.

Sierra Leone: Ebola case Sierra Leone has identified more than 100 contacts of a new Ebola case that emerged in the West African nation’s north last week, and 28 of those people are at high risk, officials said. Swabs from a 22-year-old woman who died last week tested positive for Ebola, Sierra Leone authorities said Friday.

The case came a day after the World Health Organization declared the outbreak over in West Africa.

Companies line up to invest in Iran

By Phil Serafino Bloomberg News

PARIS — Daimler AG is wasting no time getting back into the Iranian market.

The German automaker announced plans Monday for a joint venture in the country to build Mercedes-Benz trucks after trade restrictions tied to Iran’s nuclear program were lifted over the weekend. Similarly, bankers from Italy’s Mediobanca SpA, executives at the Boeing Co. and senior managers from French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen have been laying the groundwork to do business in the nation.

More declarations of investment are likely in coming weeks as companies seek to profit from rapprochement with a country that has the world’s largest natural gas reserves, a young, well-educated population of almost 80 million people and a $406 billion economy served by a relatively developed road and rail network. Yet for all the optimism, Iran’s re-admittance into the world economy may be a slower journey.

“I would expect European companies to be faster to engage with Iran than their U.S. peers,”

Daniel Salter, an equity strategist in London at Renaissance Capital, said in an email. “But they will also be cognizant of the risks of sanctions snapping back, so I would expect a gradual process of re- engaging.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Saturday that Iran met its commitments under last year’s deal with the U.S., China, France, Germany, the U.K. and Russia. Those nations lifted the sanctions tied to the nuclear program.

The U.S. is maintaining significant measures against Iran to punish the country for involvement in terrorism and missile development, and the restrictions tied to the nuclear program can be reimposed if the country violates the agreement.

“Anybody going into Iran needs to have a short-term exit strategy in mind,” said Parham Gohari, co-founder of Frontier Partners, which advises multinationals on entering Iran.

Iranian banks also still need to reconnect to SWIFT, the international network that financial institutions use to communicate.

Daimler, based in Stuttgart, has signed letters of intent with Iran Khodro Co. for production of

trucks and power-trains, and with Dubai-based Mammut Group for distribution of Fuso-brand vehicles. Daimler said it’s done business with Iran Khodro for 50 years.

“Right now, there is a huge demand for commercial vehicles, especially trucks,” Wolfgang Bernhard, the head of Daimler’s commercial-vehicle unit, said in the statement. “We will quickly resume our business activities in the market.”

Italian investment bank Mediobanca wants to play a role in the privatization of Iranian state-owned companies and in foreign investments in the country’s oil, energy, automotive and financial industries, according to an internal memo confirmed by the bank.

The bank signed an agreement in August with the Italian government and Iran’s Finance Ministry and central bank to develop trade relations between the countries.

Paris-based Peugeot got about 13 percent of its sales from Iran before suspending them in 2012.

The company is in talks with different partners, including Iran Khodro, to create a car- manufacturing joint venture, the company said last week.

Peugeot last year also signed an agreement with auto retailer Arian Group to sell the French company’s upscale DS brand cars in Iran, with a DS store planned for Tehran before the end of the first quarter.

For most U.S. companies, little will change after the deal’s implementation gives Iran access to more than $50 billion in cash frozen in overseas accounts and eases restrictions on Western business deals. As well as the sanctions on Iran for its role in terrorism and its missile program, there remains legal, political and security risks that make doing business in Iran a challenge.

There’s an exception: Makers of commercial aircraft and parts, such as Boeing, will be allowed to immediately do business. Iran’s fleet of airliners is decades old, so Boeing and European rival Airbus SE are likely to reap a windfall.

Iran agreed Saturday to buy 114 Airbus planes, including a mix of new and used jets. The first deliveries are due as early as July, said Abbas Akhoundi, the minister of roads and urban development.

Iran is also considering Boeing jets to serve the domestic and long-haul markets, an Iranian official said.

Airport workers call for higher wages

By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Chicago’s 24-below-zero wind chills did not halt a protest Monday morning to advocate for a $15-an-hour minimum wage for airport workers.

Organized by the Service Employees International Union Local 1, the protest by about three dozen people outside United Airlines’ headquarters was among nine civil disobedience actions across the U.S., including Seattle, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The SEIU, which is also behind the Fight for $15 campaign for fast-food workers, is pushing for higher pay, benefits and job protections for airport janitors, cabin cleaners, wheelchair agents, security officers and baggage handlers.

Baggage handler Raquel Brito, 20, who works at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, stood before a bank of microphones and through chattering teeth told of the challenge of paying bills and putting food on the table.

ROBERT SCIARRINO / NJ ADVANCE MEDIA

Members of Local 32BJ Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are taken into custody after staging a sit-in front at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey while holding a rally and march to bring attention for their request for a $15 an hour wage.

“We are tired of struggling to get by,” said Brito, who makes $11 an hour and works in the United terminal as a contractor for Prospect Airport Services. She was previously a wheelchair assistant,

which paid $6.75 an hour plus any tips passengers gave.

Brito said she injured her back several months ago while pushing a passenger and, because she doesn’t get any health benefits,

had to pay most of her health care costs herself. Brito still spends $250 monthly for physical therapy for her injury, including transportation expenses, union spokesperson Izabela Miltko said.

Representatives of United Continental Holdings and Prospect Airport Services were not immediately available for comment.

Brito was among about 14 airport workers and supporters who lined up, arms hooked, in the middle of a downtown street for about three minutes in the cold before police started arresting them and leading them away.

Other acts of civil disobedience were planned inside airport terminals, along bridges and in front of airport contractor headquarters in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, Miami, Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and Newark, New Jersey.

In Chicago, the protest was meant to be on behalf of 5,000 workers at Midway and O’Hare airports, Miltko said.

Know your rights around debt collectors

By Michelle Singletary

T

he Federal Trade Commission recently smacked down four debt-collection outfits and their affiliates that the agency said engaged in abusive practices. This latest round of action is part of a federal, state and local effort around the country to target deceptive debt collectors.

Here are some of the tactics the companies involved in the FTC cases were alleged to have used: ■■One collection operation demanded payment from consumers for payday loans and other debts even though it couldn’t prove that the people owed the money. Employees even pretended to be law enforcement officials, according to the FTC. The agency said the ill-gotten gains in this case came to $4 million.

MICHELLE SINGLETARY ■■Another group of affiliated companies also had debt collectors impersonate law enforcement and threatened to arrest people. Employees also pretended to be process servers.

The companies have agreed to a federal court order that bans them from debt-collection activities and imposes a judgment of $2.2 million, which the court said represents the companies’ debtcollection revenue.

■■Another company sent people

letters or postcards that were designed to look like they had come from a municipal court. An order imposed a nearly $200,000 judgment, but it was suspended due to an inability to pay.

■■A separate debt-collection outfit tried to collect payday loans that weren’t owed. People working for this company claimed to be affiliated with a law firm, with a government fraud task force, and with other federal and state agencies, according to the FTC. The collectors had access to information about people who had merely inquired online about payday loans. The company was found to have violated federal law by telling consumers’ family members, employers and co-workers about the purported debt.

In all, this debt collector was ordered to pay more than $4.4 million for using deception and

encouraged to wear red to raise awareness about heart disease in women.

Davos chief cites inequality, oil, among worries DAVOS, Switzerland — At Davos, Iran is center-stage, North Korea has been disinvited for nuclear saber-rattling, and World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab says he’s worried about Europe’s future, the fallout of plunging oil prices and gaping inequality worldwide.

The 77-year-old chief of the world’s most recognized annual economic confab said Monday that his event fell in line with international condemnation of North Korea’s nuclear test this month when it disinvited its foreign minister. And after this weekend’s end to vast international sanctions against Iran, Foreign Minister Jarid Zarif is set to be a headliner at the Alpine resort as the mostly business event opens Wednesday.

Ruble hits new low The Russian ruble, battered by weak oil prices, Monday dropped to new low and broke an all-time record against the euro. The national currency was down 1.8 percent at 79 rubles to the dollar, its lowest mid-trading level since December 2014. It fell to an all-time low against the euro as the Central Bank set the official exchange rate at more than 85 rubles to the euro Monday.

WhatsApp drops fees WhatsApp, a popular mobile messaging service owned by Facebook, says it will be dropping its 99-cent subscription fee. The company said Monday that charging the fee after one free year hasn’t worked well. It says that many users don’t have a credit or debit card. WhatsApp says nearly a billion people around the world use the service.

Kirkland dealer fined A Kirkland car dealership has agreed to pay $74,000 to settle allegations that it sent out misleading mailers.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Rairdon’s Dodge Chrysler Jeep sent out more than 7,000 mailers that mimicked official recall notices and implied to recipients that there was something wrong with their car and offered to purchase the vehicles. But the mailers did not clearly disclose that the offers were not in fact connected to any recalls. The dealership agreed to pay $35,125 in civil penalties and more than $39,000 in costs and fees.

Crude oil that’s worth less than nothing Oil is so plentiful and cheap in the U.S. that at least one buyer says it would need to be paid to take a certain type of low-quality crude. Flint Hills Resources LLC, the refining arm of billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch’s industrial empire, said it would pay -$0.50 a barrel Friday for North Dakota Sour, a high-sulfur grade of crude, according to a list price posted on its website. That’s down from $13.50 a barrel a year ago and $47.60 in January 2014.

The negative price is due to the lack of pipeline capacity.

Fraud tool protects Medicaid adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and those with disabilities. Medicaid is funded jointly by the federal and state governments. Of the $9.6 billion spent in 2014 in Washington, $4 billion was provided by the state.

Medicare and the taxpayers’ interest in limiting waste, fraud and abuse from false claims for medical services, drugs, supplies and equipment, must be protected. The Legislature needs to prevent the False Claims Act from expiring, as recommended by the Legislature’s own Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee. Bipartisan bills in the House (HB 1067) and Senate (SB 6156) would extend the act until 2021 or later.

JLARC, in its report, found that the act has allowed the state to pursue 29 civil cases of Medicaid fraud that it otherwise would not have had the authority to pursue. Following the act’s creation the state AG’s office added a civil

section for Medicaid fraud that includes four attorneys, five investigators, a financial examiner and two paralegals.

The federal government funds three-fourths of the program’s expenditures, with the state picking up the other fourth.

In the three years the program has been in effect, the JLARC report found, the act was responsible for $6.1 million in additional fraud recoveries, of which the state recouped $2.8 million. Average annual civil recoveries increased 28 percent compared to the three and a half years prior to the program’s enactment. Recovered funds are reinvested in Medicaid services for state residents.

In calling for the act’s renewal, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson credited the act with revealing instances of fraud and abuse that might have remained concealed without it. In addition to information from the state’s Medicaid program, the AG’s office is able to act on

tips from the public, stories in newspapers and the media and from whistle-blowers, called qui tam filings.

Reauthorization of the False Claims Act also must protect provisions for qui tam filings.

When the legislation was first considered in 2012, hospital and medical associations and others said the whistle-blower filings could be abused themselves and result in frivolous lawsuits.

The JLARC report found no evidence of that. In the act’s three years, four qui tam cases have been filed: One case, which involved poor quality of care and kickbacks, resulted in a settlement; another was dismissed following a state investigation; and two more are pending.

The act’s three years of costeffective investigation of fraud and its role in discouraging dishonest medical providers and others from attempting to file false claims have earned its reauthorization by the Legislature.

These resources are shared by all. The tribe does not have exclusive ownership rights.

There has not been a lot of uplifting news these past two years regarding tribal members. I cannot help losing some respect for the local natives.

I hope the chairman, elders, John McCoy or someone with respect and authority can right this wayward ship, because folks, it’s sinking. These bad acts and actors create and perpetuate bias, stereotype, and racism at a time when we should have none of it.

exchange for other stretches of beach property, cash, etc. This is unacceptable. A road end at the water’s edge is a different kind of public space than a stretch of beach. These road end/beach access points provide a safety valve for water-bound citizens in need of help. Beaching without a road for emergency transport is like finding a telephone booth with no working line.

There is another issue here.

Standing at an easily identifiable road end with my toes at the water’s edge, at a spot where I know I have the right to stand, feeling the seascape and its moods in front of me is a right I take for granted, need, and enjoy.

So I speak not just for myself but for all who will come after me.

Our islands have far too few of these spots to give up even one.

If Island County drops the court case, a precedent is set for other beach owners to try for similar outcomes. We must let the courts decide. We must not let one property owner weaken the county’s muscle to do what’s right. Do not drop the court case.

My fiancé had hernia surgery in June of 2015. It still hurts her to bend down and feed the dog, so for Lynch to even think about playing is phenomenal.

For the record, my fiancé isn’t colliding with 300-pound linebackers either.

So he didn’t travel to Minnesota. Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe the team doctor, trainer, specialist or coach told him to stay back and recover? I wouldn’t call that spoiled, I’d call it smart.

As a runner, I’ve had a plethora of injuries. I currently have a pulled hamstring. If you ask me if I “had” to run in minus-10-degree weather vs. 40-degree weather there would be no argument. I’ll take the warmer weather any day. If my team depended on me, what would my call be?

As I read the comments it would leave me to believe the writers have never called in sick a day in their lives.

Based on their judgement they should be able to work through anything.

Lynch maybe spoiled, but he knows his body best. If he feels he’d hamper the team while playing injured, or injure himself playing before he’s ready, well then that’s a nobrainer, especially with our depleted running game.

The writer who said he’s “done nothing” is obviously not a fan, or knows nothing of stats. You may want to see what he’s done for Seattle since he’s been here. As for off the field, he has a foundation called the Fam 1st Family Foundation.

You may want to look into it and compare what you’ve done compared to him. What’s your foundation called again?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MLK’S DREAM

Silent majority must participate Monday was Martin Luther King day, that’s the guy who had A Dream. I can assure you that the dream was not about big corporations getting tax breaks and still treating their workers like modern slaves, who can barely make a living even if they work 40 hours a week. It was not about millions of people who still can’t afford health care because there are too many companies like CellNetix who charge a patient $800 for a simple biopsy and the insurance pays nothing; and believe me that “Go Fund me” is not the solution.

That dream was not gun violence by cops, crooks and idiots.

America is a great democracy, but if you don’t use it you lose it.

The billionaires, crooks and idiots are not the majority. That’s why the so-called silent majority has to open up their eyes and mouth ... use your right and go vote. That’s the way to make MLK’s dreams come true.

■■POACHING

Latest crab theft tip of the iceberg In August, we learned the co-chairman of the Tulalip Fisheries, Joe Hatch and his son were arrested for poaching crab and selling/trafficking it.

Perfect metaphor for the fox in the hen house. Now on KOMO News, we learn that two more tribal members, Robert Fryberg and Nicholas Edelman were just arrested and charged with illegally poaching and selling/ trafficking crab from the Port Susan water. KOMO reports these two were poaching more than 100 crabs a week, and possibly thousands altogether. They may have decimated the Dungeness crab population here for some time to come. Can’t wait to pay for my license next year.

State officers say they’re working with tribal police to curb the problem. Curb the problem?

How about punishment that will eliminate the problem? What really burns me is that we know when a criminal is caught, be it DUI, shoplifting, etc., it is only one instance, and how many times and for how long has the wrongdoer been at it? People had to know about these poachers. Is there no pride left? In addition to this poaching, there have been members arrested for taking elk illegally, and in April, a member was arrested for clubbing two

Road-beach access is our right An important issue is being discussed by the Island County Commissioners that affects public beach access statewide. I speak about a potential move to voluntarily drop Island County’s court case against a property owner who, in the eyes of many, has taken control over what is clearly a road end/public beach access point. (The case being discussed is Wonn Road near Greenbank, just south of midpoint Whidbey Island.)

State law asserts road ends that abut water are public spaces. Dropping its court case against the property owner de facto means the commissioners are ignoring state law, and voluntarily foregoing the outcome of a court decision which could once again affirm state law.

The commissioners are considering a settlement offer from the property owner involving an

IN OUR VIEW | Medicaid Fraud False Claim Act

Washington state could soon lose a successful program that in the three years it has operated has uncovered and penalized fraud, returned nearly $3 for every $1 spent in investigating and prosecuting cases and protected the source of medical coverage for 1.75 million residents.

Unless the Legislature votes to reauthorize the Medicaid Fraud False Claims Act, an effective tool used by the state Attorney General’s Office for rooting out Medicaid fraud and encouraging compliance will be shut down by the end of June.

The act, passed in 2012, adds a third avenue for investigating Medicaid fraud, bolstering the efforts by the federal False Claims Act and criminal investigation of the state Attorney General’s Office. Washington is one of 29 states with a False Claims Act. The 1.75 million state residents who depend on Medicaid include low-income

Choice may be heads vs. hearts for Democrats

C

HARLESTON, S.C. — Hillary Clinton wrapped herself so tightly in President Obama’s mantle at Sunday night’s debate that it was a wonder she could walk off the stage.

She lauded the Affordable Care Act to the heavens, rejecting the notion that it left too many Americans still without health insurance. She defended Obama’s EUGENE ROBINSON initiatives to rein in Wall Street, dismissing contentions that they did not go far enough. She praised the way he “led us out of the Great Recession.”

And she attacked her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, for allegedly being insufficiently loyal to the president. “Senator Sanders called him weak, disappointing,” she said.

There was considerable irony in all of this. Eight years ago, the primary fight here between Clinton and Obama was bitter and tinged with racial overtones.

This year, with the possibility that Sanders could win both Iowa and New Hampshire, Clinton is counting on South Carolina’s large African-American population to serve as a firewall.

Sanders made the case that he has been, and remains, a supporter of the president.

And he turned the tables, putting Clinton very much on the defensive when the subject turned to Wall Street excesses.

“I don’t mean to just point the finger at you,” he said, pointing his finger at Clinton, “you’ve received over $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year.”

Clinton’s response — that “hedge-fund billionaires” are running ads against her and that “I’m the one they don’t want to be up against” — probably failed to convince many listeners that she is more antagonistic toward Wall Street than Sanders.

The evening’s main focus was on who offers Democrats a clear choice: evolution or revolution.

The difference is evident in the two candidates’ positions on health care. Clinton proposes building on the foundation of Obamacare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, Medicaid and Medicare to further expand coverage. Sanders advocates a new single-payer system, akin to those in other major industrialized countries, that would be truly universal and provide health care as a right.

Clinton recalled that in the fight over passage of the Obamacare legislation, efforts to include even one “public option” — government-run plan — had to be abandoned. To “start over again, pushing our country back into that kind of a contentious debate, I think is the wrong direction,” she said.

In other words, let’s have evolutionary change.

Sanders noted that there are still 29 million Americans without health insurance. He argued that a single-payer system, which he describes as “Medicare for all,” would not only provide coverage for everyone but also dramatically reduce medical costs. He said the issue is “whether we have the guts to stand up to the private insurance companies and all of their money, and the pharmaceutical industry. That’s what this debate should be about.”

Translation: We need a political revolution.

On issue after issue, Clinton proposes incremental solutions that take into account our political system as it is: sharply divided along ideological lines and warped by gerrymandering and virtually unfettered campaign contributions. Sanders proposes dramatic solutions that will only be possible when power is wrested from “big money” interests that refuse to do “what the American people want them to.”

In that sense, Democrats are being asked to make a classic heads-vs.-hearts decision. With Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, Clinton would ordinarily have a huge advantage. Given what’s happening in the GOP campaign, however, this doesn’t much look like an ordinary election cycle.

Sanders got a couple of the biggest cheers Sunday night, but for most of the evening the crowd seemed to be on Clinton’s side. In interviews afterward, several South Carolina political veterans predicted that Clinton would win the primary here, perhaps comfortably.

But the loyal Democrats I spoke with also wished there was more passion in Clinton’s appeal to go along with the pragmatism. To convince people to eat their vegetables this year, you might have to add a little hot sauce.

Serve: ‘Feels good to help’ From Page A1

sophomore Paul Baez, 15, and senior Quenan Rangel, 17, dug a hole to plant a snowberry shrub near a steep slope. Baez said the school’s Colores Unidos club built planter boxes for a retirement home during last year’s MLK Day of Service.

“I know I’m making a difference,” said Marisol Stewart, a Meadowdale senior and the club’s president.

Nelson de Flores and Sara Noland, a volunteer forest steward with the Green Everett Partnership, said volunteers were filling in areas cleared of ivy with low-growing native plants — sword ferns, salal, Oregon grape and evergreen huckleberry.

“Ivy is the biggest thing.

It grows rapidly, into a tree’s canopy, and crowds

out other plants. A healthy forest needs biodiversity,” Nelson de Flores said.

Jessica Gaitan, United Way of Snohomish County’s community engagement coordinator, said this year’s Day of Service involved 208 teens and 20 adult volunteers.

Along with park efforts in Everett and Marysville, teens helped people with special needs through Quilceda Community Services; volunteered at senior centers in Monroe, Snohomish and Everett; gave their time to places helping animals, including the Feral Cat Spay/ Neuter Project; worked at food banks in Everett and Marysville; volunteered at Take the Next Step and Matthew House in Monroe, and with other agencies.

Youth teams were led by Senior Corps-RSVP helpers and other adult volunteers.

Volunteering was just one way the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was honored in Snohomish County this year.

Study on Hood Canal yields insight on tiny fish

By Tristan Baurick Kitsap Sun

SEABECK — Josh Frederick hops out of an idling state Department of Fish and Wildlife motorboat and begins scooping beach gravel into bags labeled with his precise location on Hood Canal. He pulls out a handful and gives it a hard look.

“Nothing,” he said.

Spotting the tiny, pen point-sized eggs of Puget Sound’s smallest fish isn’t easy, but this stretch of Misery Point has just about everything that spawning herring, smelt and other forage fish could want: shade from trees, few nearby homes, no bulkheads and a beach covered in the not-too-fine,

not-too-gritty sediment they favor for tucking in their unhatched young.

“Sometimes we’ll find spots where they’re easy to see because the eggs just cover the ground,” said Fish and Wildlife research scientist Phillip Dionne.

“Sometimes we won’t see anything.”

Finding few eggs in ideal spawning grounds could be part of the mounting evidence that the sound’s forage fish are in decline.

That’s bad news for salmon, seabirds and just about every marine animal bigger than the bait-sized fish.

“They play a critical role in the food web,” Dionne said. And yet, he admits, the fish are poorly understood by state fisheries managers.

Fish and Wildlife aims to change that with the first comprehensive study of the sound’s forage fish population.

Launched in November, the study will analyze thousands of beach samples and include a deep-water trawl survey to gauge the survival rate of adult forage fish.

Dionne and two members of the Washington Conservation Corps — Frederick and Brandon Osterlund, both of Lacy — spent part of the week surveying the east shore of Hood Canal.

The crew documented beach conditions and took five-pound sediment samples from dozens of private and public beaches.

At a lab in Olympia, each

sample is sent through a centrifuge that separates the sediment from the eggs and other lighter materials.

The types and abundance of eggs are noted, and then fed into a database. At regular intervals, the data is used to update a map showing forage fish spawning habitat around the sound.

The study is a result of legislation introduced

by Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-Bainbridge Island, last year.

Budgeted for $2 million over two years, the study has allowed four small crews to survey about 150 sites each month.

About half of the 12 WCC members involved in the study are veterans or active in a military reserve unit.

Fish and Wildlife biologist Dayv Lowry said the state has had no method for tracking forage fish populations. “This fills some important holes in our fish management,” he said.

A few localized and limited-scope studies indicate that forage fish populations have declined precipitously in recent decades. A few years ago, a survey near Bellingham showed herring stocks were less than 10 percent of what they were in the early 1970s.

Surveys conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed steep herring declines around the San Juan Islands and the Central Puget Sound.

State scientists say

herring also are declining in average size and age.

The causes are unknown, but a broad range of factors may be to blame, including chemical contamination, parasites, disease, lack of food and increasing shoreline development.

The ripple effect is being felt in seabirds, said Trina Bayard, Audubon Washington’s bird conservation director. “We know that birds that rely on forage fish are in decline,” she said, noting that western grebes and surf scoters are much less plentiful compared with 30 years ago.

“We lack a basic understanding of forage fish.

Without it, how can we best manage and protect their populations?”

A rock ’em, sock ’em kind of guy Jason Matthew Lundgren EDMONDS Lundgren, 33, is trying to beat the world’s high score for “Final Fight,” a beat-’em-up arcade video game from 1989. He says he wants to represent Lynnwood and Edmonds “in a positive way, just like what Chris Pratt is doing for Lake Stevens.”

His favorite place is Lynnwood’s Replay Cafe, a bar with free play on vintage arcade games and pinball machines. He says his top score on “Final Fight” is 2,186,027 points, about 500,000 shy of the world record.

Lundgren, a 2001 Kamiak High School graduate, has worked at the Safeway on Highway 99 in Lynnwood as a courtesy clerk and custodian for 15 years.

He hopes this year to meet the gal of his dreams and get married.

What do you want people to know about you?

I am the youngest son and child of two loving parents, Gregg and Jerri, and I have an older sister, Marjory, and older brother, Eric.

I have multiple disabilities which include a mild stroke as a 3-monthold, mild autism and depression.

I am a goal-oriented person who does not want to just rest on my laurels. I want to continue to do the things that I want and need to do to achieve those said goals.

I want to be remembered as a guy who always comes out smiling no matter how tough life could get at times and loves every minute of every day.

How has Replay Cafe changed your life?

I love to drink craft beer and play video games and pinball, so it was a natural hangout place for me to go before and after work. I don’t drink beer unless I have the day off, though, so I usually take my energy drink and a few dollars with me. The games are free, but I usually pay money to play my favorite type of music, which is hard rock and heavy metal while playing games.

What is “Final Fight” about?

“Final Fight” is a beat-’em-up platform game from 1989 and it’s about three guys who are saving the daughter of one of the men (Haggar) and one of the men is in love with her (Cody).

Why are you trying to beat the world record?

Because I want to get my name out there in vintage arcade world since I’m heavily inspired by the 2007 documentary “King of Kong” with two main players: Billy Mitchell and Redmond’s own Steve Wiebe (two-time world champion of Donkey Kong).

If you could play a video game with anyone alive or in history who would it be and why?

Former WWE wrestler/current UFC fighter CM Punk (Phillip Brooks) because he is the best in the world, even in video games.

What is your biggest worry while playing “Final Fight”?

Getting glitched while trying to finish the whole game with the record on the line. It happened to me once and plus the game is 27 years old, so it’s bound to have a few errors.

What do you want people to know about video games?

It’s the ultimate stress reliever and it motivates a person to play better when they don’t feel like they played at their best or had the best days.

What do you like to wear?

A white shirt and Seahawks Zubaz pants I bought at J.C. Penney last weekend at the Alderwood mall.

Fill in the blank: People would be shocked to know...

I am actually related to ’80s action film star Dolph Lundgren since we are both distant cousins.

What’s your proudest (non-videogame) moment?

Having friends and family that love and care about me. Not having a meltdown in public for nearly two years in a row. Going to Seattle by myself for the first time on the Sound Transit bus to go to the Seattle Public Library downtown in 2014. And having over 3,000 friends on Facebook.

What’s your pet peeve?

People blaring today’s Top 40 music out loud. I hate that!

What’s your guilty pleasure?

I don’t know if I could call it a guilty pleasure in particular, but I like to watch ROH (Ring of Honor) and WWE wrestling on television. I’ve been to the latter’s live events five times in person. It’s like being in a rock concert and a sporting event all in one.

What do you like best about your job?

I get to meet all kinds of people while I am bagging and helping the customers out with groceries. I put away the majority of the carts in the corral just outside the store since it’s a huge stress reliever to avoid the noise inside.

Alligator on a stick just one of Beef Jerky Outlet’s specialties

W

hen a new beef jerky store in Tulalip sent a press release promoting kangaroo meat snacks, I hopped right on it.

Marsupial meat?

What’s up with that?

A jerky store?

Double what’s up with that.

Beef Jerky Outlet in Quil Ceda Village is a franchise store with novelty snacks and about 200 varieties of meats from animals that moo, hop, fly, crawl and swim.

Is it ew or ah?

Seemed like a good excuse to do a Herald newsroom taste test.

I bought a Wild & Exotic Jerky Combo Pack, $29.99, a 16-pack of sticks that included alligator, antelope, kangaroo, duck, pheasant, buffalo, wild boar and ostrich. I also got a bag of traditional dried beef jerky.

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

From kangaroo jerky to alligator on a stick and bacon and cheese crickets, the Beef Jerky Outlet in Tulalip has snacks for nearly any tastebud.

For appetizers, bacon and cheese crickets, $2.99 a dozen.

And for dessert?

newsroom taste tests ever.

“This is as close to ‘Fear Factor’ as I’m going to get,” a taster remarked. “So, I happily tried a bacon and cheese cricket and chocolate-covered larva. Both were actually delicious.”

“Surprisingly good,” said another cricket connoisseur.

Kangaroo got the most likes of the meats, including “nice, smooth flavor.”

Alligator got the most dislikes.

Examples: “A dry flavor, as if it was old” and “like eating shoes.”

Buffalo and wild boar got good ratings, as did antelope: “Smooth, a little rich but not too much” and “very savory.”

The traditional jerky wasn’t as alluring amid such tantalizing contenders, but was praised by those who tried it.

Store workers sport leather holsters with scissors, which they whisk out to snip samples of jerky for tastings.

Miller spent more than 30 years in mobile computing and wireless technology in the Pacific Northwest.

So what’s a tech industry guy doing in jerky, the mainstay of hikers, bikers and truckers?

She has a great life but wants it in a different city

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I love my boyfriend dearly and we are starting to talk about building a life together. However, we live in a certain place due to job opportunities for him. I don’t like where we live.

I feel guilty for saying that because we live in a beautiful house and have wonderful friends. I have always wanted to live in a certain place; it’s a city I love, have family ties to and is great for my career. Here I have none of those things. I want to plan on when we can move there.

Boyfriend wouldn’t mind living there, but he keeps saying it will happen eventually or we have time to figure it out.

I’m terrified of waking up 20 years from now in the same place. At what point is this a big enough issue to break up over?

Or should I try to make my peace with living here? How do you decide?

— Anonymous Whether this is big enough to break you up depends on how strongly you feel about your city of choice versus your city of now, and how open your boyfriend really is to moving.

I do think, though, that dealing

CLASSIC PEANUTS

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT with problems by saying, “It will happen eventually,” or, “We have time to figure it out,” without seriously intending to resolve the issue out of respect for you and your needs, is a break-uppable offense.

When you next talk about your future together, explain to him that, no, “eventually” and “we have time” are not answers, because they’re how people end up in the same place 20 years later, angry. Is he willing and (professionally) able to move, or not? His (in)actions say no, so don’t take “yes” for an answer unless he responds with a thoughtful level of detail and until his actions say he’s sincere.

If instead he admits he has no desire to move, then you both get to decide whether you’d accept a second-choice location because

PH.D. LEVEL 7. He traded in furs and later in real estate and opium. He was America’s first multimillionaire.

you’re putting togetherness first.

I wouldn’t advise marriage unless both of you would make that sacrifice for the other.

It’s going to sound like a parlor game, but, I suggest this: Talk about the implications moving would have on each of you personally and professionally. See whether one of you makes a compelling enough case to get the other to agree to that location — there, on the spot, with planning to start that day.

That could very well be the solution, where you both agree X place makes sense, end of story.

But if you’re both stuck on your preferred place, then flip a coin — the winner is where you settle.

Then you’ll really see whether both of you are ready to put person above place.

Remember, you could end up in a third location for reasons you can’t now foresee, or for one we could easily project here: What if he’s as unhappy in your love-city as you are in this one now?

Unless the answer both of you come to for such hypotheticals is “Whatever the other needs, I will help provide,” you’re just building lives separately and asking the other along for the ride.

Student who wants to study abroad needs time to mature

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: Our granddaughter, “Kim,” is a senior in high school. She wants to study in Europe next year to improve her skills in a second language. Neither she nor her parents can afford the $20,000 or more this will cost. She is also “boy crazy.” Another worry is the threat of terrorism and her safety.

Kim’s grandmother and I see more negatives than positives in this possibility. Please advise us whether we should voice our opinion and what your opinion is. — Holding Back For Now Dear Holding: If you had described your granddaughter as emotionally mature and responsible, I would give it my blessing. However, because you didn’t, in my opinion she should continue her schooling closer to home and pursue her interest in language arts when she’s further along in her education and less boy crazy.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend has no issue with nudity. She worked herself through her master’s degree in finance as an exotic dancer. She has a phenomenal figure, eats healthy and works out often.

Last year we bought a home in a small residential community, complete with a pool. We installed a fence and spent a lot of money on landscaping to give us privacy from our neighbors.

We live in Florida and spend a lot of time in our pool, especially on weekends. My girlfriend doesn’t like to wear a swimsuit, and I have no issues with it.

At a neighborhood event recently, one of our neighbors politely asked RIP HAYWIRE

her if she wouldn’t mind covering up when in the pool. She said her kids, and I’m sure her hubby, can see into our yard from their second story. My girlfriend apologized for their inconvenience, but told them she wouldn’t be changing her habits in her home to stop another family from gawking.

I see both sides of this.

I agree she shouldn’t feel compelled to wear a suit to swim in our own pool (or lounge by it). But I can also see the neighbor’s side. The preteen boys and husband can get an eyeful just about every weekend, and I don’t think a few tan lines are worth a feud with the neighbors. Any suggestions for my dilemma?

— Swimsuit Etiquette Dear S.E.: I, too, can see both sides of this.

However, you and your girlfriend have done as much as you can to protect her privacy. You can’t be responsible for your neighbor’s husband’s and children’s voyeurism. I don’t think your girlfriend should feel compelled to change her lifestyle because they act like Peeping Toms.

I do think it would be healthier for all concerned if your neighbor had a talk with her “boys” regarding their family’s standards when it comes to naturism and respecting the privacy of others.

Calls for boycott of ‘lily white’ Oscars grow NEW YORK — Calls for a boycott of the Academy Awards are growing over the Oscars’ second straight year of all-white acting nominees, as Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith each said Monday that they will not attend this year’s ceremony.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Lee said he “cannot support” the “lily white” Oscars. Noting that he was writing on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lee — who in November was given an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards — said he was fed up: “Forty white actors in two years and no flava at all,” he wrote. “We can’t act?!”

In a video message on Facebook, Pinkett Smith also said she wouldn’t

attend or watch the Oscars in February.

Pinkett Smith, whose husband, Spike Lee Will Smith, wasn’t nominated for his performance in the NFL head trauma drama “Concussion,” said it was time for people of color to disregard the Academy Awards.

“Begging for acknowledgement, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power,” she said. “And we are a dignified people and we are powerful.”

Last year’s all-white acting nominees also drew calls for a boycott,

though not from such prominent individuals as Lee and Pinkett Smith.

Whether Jada Pinkett it had any Smith impact or not, the audience for the broadcast, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, was down 16 percent from the year prior, a six-year low.

This year, Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs has made a point of presenting a more inclusive show. The Feb. 28 broadcast will be hosted by Chris Rock and produced by “Django Unchained” producer

Reginald Hudlin and David Hill. On Saturday, Rock, unveiling a new promotion for the broadcast, called the ceremony “The White BET Awards.”

The academy didn’t respond to messages left Monday.

“The Academy Awards is not where the ‘real’ battle is,” wrote Lee on Tuesday. “It’s in the executive office of the Hollywood studios and TV and cable networks.

This is where the gate keepers decide what gets made and what gets jettisoned to ‘turnaround’ or scrap heap. This is what’s important. The gate keepers. Those with ‘the green light’ vote.”

More Seahawks Linebacker Bruce Irvin, who will be a free agent, said he will take less money to return to Seattle than he could receive on the open market, C2

TUESDAY, 01.19.2016

Microcosm for Hawks’ 2015 season “We were trying to catch up the whole time. It was very much like (Sunday).

We were catching up the whole season,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Monday, comparing Seattle’s playoff loss to the Panthers to their season.

and improved to 7-2 in overtime games. Everett also extended its U.S. Division lead to seven points over idle Seattle.

“I think our penalty kill has been playing really well, and it’s our attention to detail,” said Silvertips defenseman Brycen Martin, who was playing his first game against his former Blades teammates since he was traded to Everett in December.

“Everybody’s got a job and everybody’s got to do it,” Martin continued. “A lot of it has to do with zone time. You look at our third line and they got probably the most zone time out of all our lines. We’ve got some third and fourth line scoring the last couple games. You know every team needs that and we got a pretty deep team.”

Dewar played on Everett’s third line Monday, while Brandon Ralph, normally a third or

RENTON — Instead of preparing for the NFC championship game, the Seattle Seahawks spent Monday cleaning out their lockers at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

Seattle’s season-ending 31-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in the NFC divisional playoffs meant the Seahawks fell short of their goal of reaching the Super Bowl for the third straight season.

And Sunday’s game, in which Seattle fell behind 31-0 in the first half before storming back in the second half, served as a microcosm for the Seahawks’ season.

Seattle’s 2-4 start to the season put the Seahawks into a hole they were unable to escape from, despite a roaring finish to the season.

“Today is a pretty tough day, coming off the loss to Carolina, very disappointed about the outcome of the game and kind of the way it came down,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said during his season-ending press conference. “Obviously disappointed about the fact that they jumped out on us, and we were able to regain a shot at the game, but it was too late.

“Talking about and comparing this game and the season is kind of fitting,” Carroll added. “We struggled early. ... By the time we got righted, we had taken our lumps and we’d put ourselves in a very difficult setting because Arizona had started so fast. So we were trying to catch up the whole time. It was very much like (Sunday). We were catching up the whole season.”

Just like Sunday’s game, the Seahawks sputtered out of the gate this season. The bulk of that slow start can be attributed to a Super Bowl hangover, as the Seahawks had to banish

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Everett Silvertips rookie Connor Dewar has seen no shortage of ice time in high pressure situations this season despite his youth.

That includes playing penalty kill and power play minutes, as well as 3-on-3 overtime chances.

It was the latter opportunity during which the 16-year-old got to play the hero Monday as he scored the overtime game-winning goal as the Tips defeated the visiting Saskatoon Blades 2-1 before 3,763 fans in a rare afternoon contest at Xfinity Arena.

“It was the first overtime goal of my life, actually,” said Dewar, who has seven goals and six assists this season. “It was pretty cool. Someone had to do it and I’m happy it was me.”

Lynnwood gets revenge, rolls over Todd Beamer Royals win 62-38, improve to 14-0

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

KENT — A year ago on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Todd Beamer handed Lynnwood one of just two losses the Royals had in a season that culminated in a 3A state championship.

The Royals got revenge Monday.

Fueled by a second quarter where Lynnwood outscored the Titans 22-5, the No. 1 ranked Royals cruised to a 62-38 victory, improving their record to 14-0.

“It felt very good,” Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards said. “This was a game we had marked on our calender. They got us last year. This was one that when I had the opportunity to reschedule this game, I jumped right on it because this is a great atmosphere. This is a gym that resembles the Tacoma Dome in terms of the size and space and everything. We’re very excited to play this team and we’re very

excited to get a win today.”

The Royals are used to the big stage, having played in the state tournament in Tacoma each of the last two seasons. They placed third as a 4A school in 2014 and won the 3A state championship last season.

But the Royals also remember the heartbreak that came in 2012 when they were one of the favorites for a state championship, but were eliminated in the stateregional round by Kentwood, 61-60.

That loss still sticks with the Royals.

“We treated this like a regional game, if you lose your season is over and if you win you go on,” Edwards said. “It’s a great chance to practice that mental focus of playing in an arena like this and an atmosphere like this, so we treated it like a regional game.

That being said, it truly is a nonleague game and it didn’t matter, See LYNNWOOD, Page C3

Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin warms up before Seattle’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in November at CenturyLink Field.

Irvin willing to take less money to stay with Seahawks

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Bruce Irvin says he wants to stay, and he said he’s willing to take less money to do it.

Irvin, the Seattle Seahawks’ starter at strong-side linebacker, talked about his impending free agency Monday as the Seahawks cleared out their locker room at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

And Irvin said he’d be willing to take less money in order to resign with the Seahawks.

Irvin, who just completed his fourth season after being Seattle’s first-round pick in the 2012 draft, said he was asked that very question by Seahawks general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll.

“If it came to that, I would definitely come back,” Irvin said. “Three, four, five million (less in the total contract), I would definitely come back because I’m established here.

These are my brothers. I honestly can’t even imagine myself playing with anybody else, being in a different meeting room, listening to different pregame speeches, it’s just crazy to me. I would definitely come back. If they matched or if it was a little less, I would definitely come back to Seattle.

“I want to be here,” Irvin added. “That’s what it is. I understand the business side of it. If I happen to be somewhere else, I will always have a genuine appreciation for John and Pete for sticking their neck out there and taking me when everybody said I was a reach and had a lot of baggage that came with me.”

The Seahawks already have the core of their team signed for the 2016 season. That group includes all seven of the team’s Pro Bowlers: quarterback Russell Wilson, cornerback Richard Sherman, safeties Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas, linebacker Bobby Wagner, defensive end Michael Bennett and returner/receiver Tyler Lockett.

However, 31 players had their contracts come to an end with Sunday’s 31-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC divisional playoffs.

The most significant of those are the six starters who are now unrestricted free agents and therefore free to sign with any

Seahawk free agents Here are the Seahawk players who are eligible for free agency, according to Spotrac. com: UNRESTRICTED T Russell Okung DT Brandon Mebane LB Bruce Irvin DT Ahtyba Rubin WR Jermaine Kearse G J.R.

S Steven Terrell CB Marcus Burley DT Jesse Williams CB Mohammed Seisay LB Eric Pinkins DT A.J. Francis CB DeShawn Shead team. Those starters are Irvin, defensive tackles Brandon Mebane and Ahtyba Rubin, tackle Russell Okung, guard J.R. Sweezy and receiver Jermaine Kearse.

Also among the unrestricted free agents are cornerback Jeremy Lane, who alternated at right cornerback opposite Richard Sherman later in the season, as well as punter Jon Ryan.

Carroll wouldn’t discuss the team’s plans for specific free agents. However, he made it clear he’d like them back.

“I’m not going to go into any

of the guys specifically,” Carroll said. “In general, I’ll tell you that the guys that have been with us and have helped us become the team we’ve become, we want them back. We like our team.

We like our guys, how they contribute, how they fit in, the depth that we have of knowing and understanding they can help us out.”

Re-signing those free agents will be a trickier proposition for the Seahawks this offseason.

That’s because the contract extensions signed by the likes of Wilson and Sherman take their full effect starting with the 2016 salary cap. Wilson will have a salary-cap hit of more than $18 million, while Sherman’s will be more than $14 million. Wilson alone will hit the cap more than $11 million higher than he did this season.

Therefore, even with reports that the salary cap could increase by as much as $10 million next season, it will be that much more difficult for Seattle to compete for its own free agents, who will likely have a greater value on the open market.

“It’s going to be an interesting process, a process I have not dealt with,” Kearse said.

“I grew up in the state of Washington, so playing in front of my family and friends and the hometown, it meant a lot to me just to be able to have that type of support system behind me,” Kearse added. “I definitely enjoyed it. I would love to play here, but unfortunately there’s a business side to this league, and those have their own ways.

So you just have to wait for the whole process to happen and assess the situation.”

Teams can’t sign free agents until March 15, so for now it’s a waiting game for Seattle’s free agents.

“Right now I’ll finish out what I need to finish out, have the conversations I need to have, and moving forward I’ll have the conversations I need to have as well,” said Okung, who is acting as his own agent.

“However they go is how they go. I think soon I’ll have a really good understanding of what’s happening.

“Seattle will always be a home to me,” Okung added.

“It’s been amazing what the community has been able to do for me, and the people. It will always be a place that I’ll come back to.”

Eagles hire Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Pederson as coach Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are sort of going back to their glory days.

Doug Pederson, who helped groom Donovan McNabb for the starting quarterback job and a successful playoff run, was hired Monday to be Philadelphia’s coach.

Pederson, a graduate of Ferndale High School, was Kansas City’s offensive coordinator under former Eagles head coach Andy Reid for the past three seasons.

“Doug is a strategic thinker, a compelling leader and

communicator, and someone who truly knows how to get the best out of his players,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “All of these factors were what initially attracted us to Doug and we believe that he is the right man to help us achieve our ultimate goal.”

Pederson accepted the offer to become Philadelphia’s coach last week. The team had to wait for the Chiefs to be eliminated from the playoffs before making it official.

Pederson started nine games at quarterback for the Eagles in 1999 when Reid was a firstyear coach and McNabb was a

rookie.

He prepared McNabb to take over later in the season and the Eagles started a string of playoff appearances the following year.

Pederson returned to Philly a decade later as an assistant under Reid and helped Michael Vick have his best season in 2010.

Pederson followed Reid to Kansas City in 2013 and was promoted to offensive coordinator.

Pederson replaces Chip Kelly, who was fired one game before completing his third season.

the memories of a last-minute goal-line interception depriving them from becoming repeat Super Bowl champions. Carroll acknowledged Monday that the hangover had a bigger impact on the season than he let on previously.

“I was trying not to bring it to light any more than I had to, because I was working with it the whole time,” Carroll said. “This was no surprise.

“We were actively working to clear our minds and to clear our focus and to get it right. It just took a while.”

But after the slow start the Seahawks came to life. They finished the regular season 10-6, winning six of their final seven games and outscoring their opponents 224-98 in the process.

Seattle survived historically-low temperatures to beat the Minnesota Vikings 10-9 in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Therefore, even though Seattle didn’t get back to the Super Bowl, the Seahawks may have a better taste in their mouths at the conclusion of this season than they did at the end of last season.

“I felt like for everything we’ve gone through this season, we had a lot of ups and downs,” Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “We had a lot of guys just trying to get over what happened in the prior Super Bowl. For us to get through that and pull through that, and be in the position that we were this year, it definitely felt like it was good.”

What could end up being Seattle’s biggest development from the 2015 season was the elevation of quarterback Russell Wilson’s game. Wilson, in his fourth season, achieved new heights as a passer, especially in the final seven games of the regular season. He set new franchise records for passing yards (4,024) and touchdown passes (34) in a season, and his passer rating of 110.1 not only led the league, but was the 14th best in NFL history.

“It was definitely a journey,” Wilson said. “It’s a year that you battle and every year is going to be like that. I thought we had a great year, but not good enough. We had an opportunity to do something really special and we came just a little bit short. It’s a little bit disappointing, but at the same time you look forward to the next opportunity. You smile about that, there’s no way I can be upset because of the adversity that we faced and the overcomers that we have on our football team, the challenges we were able to defeat.”

The development of the passing game meant Seattle’s offense was no longer so reliant on the running game.

“I couldn’t be more excited about it, really,” Carroll said about the improvement in Seattle’s passing game. “We made so much progress in such crucial areas to come back and be anywhere near that kind of efficiency in the red zone and third down, and the targeting of our receivers and the high level of accuracy we had there.

“We can go down the field if we have to, we can throw the ball really quick and do all kinds of stuff,” Carroll added. “Russell showed all of the things that we would hope to see in really consistent fashion this year.”

As for that running game, Marshawn Lynch, Seattle’s stalwart ball carrier the previous five season, had an injury plagued campaign in which he played just seven games and managed just 111 yards. Meanwhile, undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls announced himself as the heir apparent at running back, gaining 830 yards before being knocked out by a season-ending ankle injury.

Defensively, the Seahawks remained the best in the business, allowing the fewest points in the league for the fourth consecutive season.

But in the end the Seahawks, both on Sunday and in the season as a whole, couldn’t overcome their slow start. “(The players) kind of understood this season was one where we didn’t quite capture all the opportunities that were there,” Carroll said.

“More than you might think, everybody left here today with the thought of, ‘Let’s have a great offseason and let’s get this thing cranked up and let’s go,’” Carroll added. “They’re already thinking that way. They’re ready to turn the page and want to get going.”

Stanwood High School’s Isaac Olson, a member of a select baseball team of American high school and college players, poses with a group of Cuban baseball players during the Cuba Friendship Games, which were between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

‘Incredible opportunity’ Stanwood’s Isaac Olson has an “eye-opening experience” as a member of a select team of American high school and college players who played four games in baseball-crazy Cuba.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Even before he went to Cuba for a recent series of exhibition games, Isaac Olson knew people in the island nation were crazy about baseball.

He was less sure if they were crazy about Americans.

But as it turned out, the Cubans he met were welcoming, gracious and certainly eager to engage their American guests in spirited games of what is, for both countries, a shared national pastime.

The trip to Cuba “was just an incredible opportunity to see how the Cubans performed and the way they (enjoyed) baseball,” Olson said. “It was an eye-opening experience, for sure, and it was awesome.”

Olson, a senior and top player at Stanwood High School, was part of a select team of American high school and college players that participated in the Cuba Friendship Games between Christmas and New Year’s Day. The U.S. sponsor was an organization called MVP Baseball, which selected Olson and other players at an Arizona camp late last summer.

The only catch was the $3,000 cost. But because this was such a unique opportunity, the Olson family not only found the money for Isaac to go, but another $5,000 so his father, Rich Olson, could accompany him.

The Olsons left Seattle on Christmas night and flew to Miami, where the team gathered. The next day the traveling party — it numbered more than 30 with players, coaches, other team personnel and a few parents — boarded a charter jet for the short flight across the water to Havana, Cuba’s capital.

Stanwood High School’s Isaac Olson pitched five innings, appearing in two of four games his American select team played in Cuba. Olson allowed no runs and one hit while striking out three.

Over the next few days the Americans played four games in the cities of Mayabeque, Pinar del Rio, Alquivar and Havana, against different teams. The opposing players were generally older — many appeared to be in their mid-20s, Isaac Olson said — and they were good.

The Cuban teams won all four games, though two games were decided by one run and one game by two runs.

“We were competitive, but they had the edge,” said Olson, a pitcher who appeared in five innings of two games, giving up no runs and one hit while striking out three. “They played all out and they didn’t give up on anything. Their pitchers threw hard and they had good (hitters).

Overall they were very good baseball players.”

The games were also well attended because everyone in Cuba, it seems, loves baseball.

The goal for many boys is to play for the Cuban national team or, even better, to play in the major leagues where the salaries for

average players are huge by Cuban standards and the money paid to stars is almost beyond belief.

But the dream is real indeed, and the proof is in the number of Cubans who have defected from the communist country to join big league ballclubs. The list is already long and continually growing, and includes stars such as Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes, Yasiel Puig, Aroldis Chapman, Jose Fernandez, Yasmani Grandal, Jose Iglesias and Kendrys Morales.

During games against the visiting Americans, the Cuban players were “whooping and hollering and yelling stuff,” Olson said. “That’s kind of how they play the game. They’re always out there talking. They’re excited the whole time they’re playing.”

Likewise the fans “who wanted to win, too. They were loud. They had air horns. And they would really get on the umps.” It created an atmosphere where “we were definitely the

visiting team,” he said.

But after the game the teams would line up to shake hands, followed by a swap of jerseys and other items, and then a bunch of photographs.

“When we went down I had no idea what to expect at all,” Olson said of the reception. “But the people were so nice and very genuine. The players were really nice before and after the game, and the same with the fans and the little kids.”

As special as the trip was in terms of baseball, it was equally significant as a life experience.

Most American youngsters — for that matter, many Americans of all ages — have little idea how the rest of the world lives, and how pervasive poverty can be in less developed nations. In Cuba, even everyday items can be costly and difficult to acquire.

As an example, Cuban kids love baseball, but few have enough money to buy an actual baseball. So Olson and the other American players would give the children baseballs, and their faces would light up with delight and gratitude.

When the trip was over, Olson and his teammates returned home with some great memories, but also a new appreciation of their lives in America.

“When he sees the conditions and the government (the Cuban people) are still forced to live under,” Rich Olson said, “I think it just gives him a much broader appreciation — and I know it’s the same for me — of what it means to live in the U.S. and to live in freedom. But at the same time, we have love and compassion for Cubans. They adore Americans, and they’re just begging for a small piece of what we have.”

Isaac Olson agrees. It was, he said, “a very humbling experience for sure.”

but we really tried to focus and think about it that way.”

That focus seemed to work in the Royals’ favor. They jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the first quarter thanks to seven early points from senior Mikayla Pivec. The Titans came back to tie the game at 12, but the Royals closed the quarter on a 6-2 run capped off by a 3-pointer at the buzzer

by Pivec.

Pivec would add another 3-pointer in the second quarter and finished the first half with 19 of her game-high 21 points.

“That’s something that we’re working on,” Edwards said of Pivec’s 3-point shot. “A lot of people might not realize that Mikayla can shoot the three-ball. We’ve been putting in a lot of work on that. We’re trying to save her a little wear and tear. If she has to she can play inside, but she’s also a capable 3-point shooter and we’ve tried the last couple of games to have her shoot the three.”

Pivec, the 2014-15 Washington State Gatorade Player of the Year, said she has been working on her perimeter skills which she will need next

“I’ve been working on it a lot,” Pivec said. “I’m feeling more comfortable with it. In college, I’ll definitely play guard so I’ve just been working on my ball-handling and 3-point shot to get ready for that. My teammates set me up really well.”

Pivec’s three at the end of the first quarter seemed to give the Royals all the momentum they needed. They opened the second quarter with a 10-0 run to turn what looked as though it could be one of their toughest games of the season into a blowout.

“I felt like we controlled (the game),” Edwards said. “The first quarter was a little bit of a feeling out process, but I think we had a great second quarter. ... We played great defense and we combined it with great offense.

“Defense is our battle cry,” Edwards added.

“On the offensive side of the ball, it’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get, but we actually played OK offense, too. I think we had quite a few assists. We were doing some things and penetrating and looking for our teammates and playing good basketball that way. Top to bottom, we had a couple of hiccups here and there, but we played a good basketball game against a good basketball team.”

The thrilling finished belied a less-than-ideal start for both teams.

Saskatoon (17-25-4-0, 38 points) was in the fifth game of a seven-game road trip, while the Tips were playing their third game in four days.

“It had a Monday afternoon feel to it to me,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “It didn’t have the energy of Saturday when you have Seattle and 7,000 people. I didn’t think we played all that great, but it’s 72 games (in a season). You gotta find wins in games like that if you’re going to be good.”

Saskatoon took the initial lead when Nick Zajac curled behind the Everett goal and found Mason McCarty in the slot. McCarty went top shelf past Hart to give the Blades the 1-0 lead at 19:00 in the first period.

That was Hart’s only blemish as he finished with 27 saves en route to his league-leading 26th victory.

V. Williams loses in first round of Aussie Open

By John Pye Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Venus Williams tried to rally, winning two games and getting another break-point chance after falling a set and 5-0 behind, before her 16th trip to the Australian Open finished in a first-round loss to Johanna Konta.

The 35-year-old, seven-time major winner trudged off Rod Laver Arena, waving to the crowd on the second day of the tournament following a surprising 6-4, 6-2 loss to the No. 47-ranked Konta, a Sydney-born British player who was making her debut in the main draw at the Australian Open after losing twice previously in qualifying.

Andy Murray opened with a 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 win over Alexander Zverev, and remains very much a round-by-round proposition at Melbourne Park, where he has lost the final four times. He had Amelie Mauresmo, a new mother, back in his coaching corner for the match and was happy not to get any mid-match news from home. He has said he’ll leave immediately, regardless of the stage of the tournament, if his wife, Kim, goes into labor in London with their first child.

“I’m more excited than nervous now,” Murray said of the pending arrival. “I don’t

have any news because I’ve just come off the court. I’m hoping my phone hasn’t been buzzing in my bag. But Kim will message my team if anything’s going on during the matches, and I’ll see what happens.”

Williams had a career comeback last season, winning three titles, finding some consistency after a long struggle with illness and finishing the year in the top 10 for the first time since 2010. She reached the quarterfinals at the Australian and U.S. Opens — the first and last majors of the year.

In 2016, she’s 0-2 after also losing in a warmup tournament at Auckland, New Zealand.

It was the eighth time she’s lost in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament and the third in Australia, where she reached the quarterfinals in her first appearance in 1998 and lost the final to her youngest sister, Serena, in 2003.

Konta was really going for her groundstrokes in a high-risk, high-reward approach that kept Williams, who had wrapping on her left leg, on the defensive.

“When the draw came out and I saw who I was playing I was like ‘Well, ok, I just hope to stay out there more than an hour,”’ Konta said in a post-match TV interview, apparently as surprised as anyone after her straight sets win over the No. 8-seeded Williams.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Notebook

Pac-12 honors Huskies’ Plum Herald news services SAN FRANCISCO — University of Washington guard Kelsey Plum was named the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Monday. Plum averaged 27.5 points per game in leading the Huskies to wins over a pair of ranked teams over the weekend.

The Huskies defeated No. 17 UCLA on Friday night and No. 25 USC on Sunday to improve to 5-2 in the Pac-12 and 14-4 overall.

Plum, the nation’s leading scorer, tallied 23 points against UCLA, and 32 against USC, but she did more than just put the ball in the basket, adding five rebounds and four assists against UCLA and five assists against the Trojans. She also shot 11-for-12 from the foul line against the Bruins and 10-for-12 against USC to add to her nation-leading free throw total that now stands at 139.

In the process of leading the Huskies to a pair of victories, Plum moved up the all-time Washington scoring list, passing Husky Hall of Famer Giuliana Mendiola.

Plum has scored 1,950 points, which ranks third on UW’s all-time scoring list.

The junior is just 50 points short of 2,000 for her career, despite playing just 85 games. She is on pace to become one of the fastest in NCAA history to reach that milestone.

This is the first Pac-12 Player of the Week honor of the season for Plum and second of her career. She also was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week seven times during her rookie season.

After their two wins over the weekend, the Huskies received votes in this week’s

Associated Press women’s college basketball poll, but failed to crack the Top 25 for the first time since 2003 (for the complete poll, see the Scoreboard on Page C4).

Meanwhile, Washington State freshman Borislava Hristova was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.

Hristova led the Cougars to a 12-point victory USC on Friday, leading all scorers with 21 points. The Bulgarian native’s performance broke a 26-year-old WSU freshman record for most 20-point performances in a season. She has seven.

Hristova nearly led WSU to a second top-25 upset on Sunday as the Cougars fell to UCLA, 73-75. Again, she led all scorers with 19 points, including 11 in the third quarter, to help WSU rally.

Beavers suspend Reid CORVALLIS, Oregon — Oregon State has suspended Jarmal Reid at least four games for tripping a referee during Sunday night’s loss at Utah.

Coach Wayne Tinkle announced the suspension on Monday. Reid also issued a statement apologizing for his actions.

Tinkle said Reid’s conduct over the next two weeks will determine if additional discipline will be taken.

Reid sent referee Tommy Nunez tumbling to the court and was ejected with 2:56 remaining in Utah’s 59-53 victory over Oregon State on Sunday night.

After stealing the ball from Utah’s Jacob Poeltl, who was driving to the basket, Reid tried dribbling upcourt. But Poeltl appeared to bump Reid and the Oregon State forward slipped and fell to the floor.

Reid, a senior, complained that there was no foul call, and while getting up he seemed to make eye contact with the Nunez. Then, he stuck his right leg out and Nunez tumbled to the court.

Sounders’ Evans added to U.S. roster Herald news services U.S. Soccer announced Monday that Sounders defender Brad Evans has been added to the U.S. Men’s National Team roster for its annual January camp in Carson, California.

The first training camp of 2016 runs until Feb. 6.

The roster contains a mix of senior team members and a host of players eligible for the U-23 Men’s National Team. The camp culminates with friendlies against Iceland

(Jan. 31) and Canada (Feb. 5).

Evans, 30, has 25 career international caps, including eight caps in 2015. He collected the game-winning assist in the U.S. men’s 2-1 win at Germany last June.

He has one international goal — a stoppage-time winner at Jamaica on June 7, 2013, that ranks as the latest matchwinning goal in U.S. FIFA World Cup qualifying history.

Evans made four appearances for the national team in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

game, and you gotta find wins in games that are more on the ugly side,” Constantine said. “I thought we were just OK, but we won.”

The Silvertips head northeast beginning Wednesday when they play at Kamloops. The road trip continues with games Friday and Saturday at Edmonton and Red Deer.

SERVICES HOROSCOPE

Happy Birthday: Don’t trust your emotions this year. Try to let go of any suspicions or assumptions that arise. Taking a pure approach to what you do and making a point to do your own thing will help you avoid interference. Let personal situations develop naturally without doing too much to interfere. Keep your money separate and refrain from trying to buy love.

Your numbers are 6, 17, 23, 28, 30, 39, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make career decisions and pick up the skills that will help you qualify for a new position. Good fortune awaits if you put in the effort. Don’t be discouraged by someone who doesn’t see things your way. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take action and be at the helm of any project you decide to embark upon. You will open up new possibilities through conversations with experts. Express your ideas and interest will mount and advancement and recognition will follow. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract poor influences. Make up your own mind rather than giving in to peer pressure. A tendency to be indulgent will leave you in a precarious position. Listen to the voice of reason, not someone using emotional manipulation. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put a little muscle behind an activity you participate in, and you will turn heads with your masterful way of presenting what you have to offer. A partnership looks promising, and talks will lead to a contract or commitment. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll excel when faced with something new and exciting. Romance is on the rise, and making personal changes will bring you plenty of positive attention. Don’t let your popularity lead to conceit. ★★★★

more information, visit the EYHBC website at eyhbc.org, or send an email to info@eyhbc.org.

Lacrosse n The Everett Lacrosse Club is accepting registration for the spring season. The club offers teams for boys and girls in grades 3-12. For more information, visit the club’s website at everettlacrosseclub.org. n The Snolax Girls Lacrosse program is accepting registration for its youth and high school teams.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will be in dire need of a change. Engage in something that will allow you to share your ideas with people who are uplifting and offer positive support.

Don’t give in to someone using emotional tactics to control your every move. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus inward and do your best. Make the subtle physical changes that will boost your confidence. Refuse to let someone you live with push you around.

Make a difference by setting new ground rules. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Gather enough information to bring about a change or book a long-overdue trip. Take a stance and opt to put your energy into working on something that you really want to see happen. You can offer someone help, but don’t go overboard. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be too quick to start something new. More information will be necessary if you want to avoid a huge oversight, cost or opposition. Put your time and effort into your home, family and nurturing important relationships. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s up to you to take action. Focus on your professional or financial goals, making sure that you are not being unrealistic. There will be a price to pay if you don’t pay close attention to detail. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make home improvements, spend time with family and friends, and take better care of your health and well-being. Don’t be fooled by a display of emotional tactics from someone who only wants your money and your sympathy. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you do to help a cause will also help you. Being involved in something that will bring about positive change will encourage you to make new contacts that will contribute to your life. Let go of the people who drag you down. ★★ Universal Uclick
