teacher salaries, technology upgrades, building maintenance, extracurriculars and transportation. Some districts also have used levy dollars for special education programs, student laptops or all-day kindergarten.

TULALIP — Their crab poaching investigation took them from the water’s edge to restaurants and even nail salons. It resulted in the arrests of two men in recent weeks for investigation of unlawful trafficking in shellfish, fishing out of season and possessing stolen property. Michael Cenci, a deputy director with the state’s Fish and Wildlife enforcement division, said the case is not related to arrests made last year involving poaching allegations against Joe Hatch, the former co-director of the Tulalip Tribes fisheries and wildlife division. Hatch resigned in July, five days after his arrest. His son, Joseph Hatch Jr., 25, also was arrested. The Tulalip Tribes have charged them with fishing in closed waters. “They are separate cases,” Cenci said. “There is no connection there other than they all poached.”

Measures cover 7 school districts The money could go toward funding teacher salaries, building maintenance, technology upgrades and other costs. By Kari Bray and Sharon Salyer Herald Writers

Seven Snohomish County school districts have measures

on the Feb. 9 special election ballot and five of them are asking voters to renew levies for technology or day-to-day operations. The Edmonds, Mukilteo, Arlington, Stanwood-Camano

and Lakewood school districts have levies on the ballots, which are being sent to voters today. In each district, voters last approved a four-year levy in 2012 or a six-year levy in 2010. The new measures would pick up where the current ones leave off at the start of 2017. Levy money can go toward

Those who care for the broken Class helps people who have mentally ill vets, personnel in their lives EVERETT — Millie Quiroz was in Olympia on Monday trying to make things better for people like her brother, an Iraq war veteran whose mental illnesses consumed him. Quiroz urged lawmakers to eliminate roadblocks that impede families seeking timely and adequate mental health care and substance abuse treatment for loved ones. Families need stronger tools to overcome those obstacles, which can be devastating for those living with mental

illness, Quiroz said. “We have to fix this,” she said. It’s too late for her brother. Christopher Eaves, 32, died six months ago at Western State Hospital. His body was found in a portable toilet on the hospital grounds some 12 hours after he was reported missing. Eaves suffered a fatal heart attack after consuming synthetic marijuana, also known as “spice.” He had missed his curfew but no one went looking for him, Quiroz said. His mother had urged hospital staff to revoke her son’s off-ward privileges because she was worried

There may be a new ninth planet A

stronomers said they’ve found evidence that our solar system may hold another giant planet, hidden in the dark, distant badlands far beyond Neptune’s orbit. This so-called Planet Nine, described in the Astronomical Journal, would likely have roughly 10 times the mass of Earth and circle the sun in 10,000 to 20,000 Earth years. Neptune, the farthest known planet today, makes its round trip in 165 years. If it is found to exist by powerful telescopes on Earth, Planet Nine would rewrite our definition of the solar system and help solve some mysteries about its violent past. Scientists have been wondering whether a “Planet X” exists in the dim regions far beyond the known planets, but it has remained largely speculative. Scientists and layfolk alike have had to content themselves with just eight planets, cut down from nine after Pluto was demoted to dwarf in 2006. That started to change in March 2014, when a pair of astronomers announced that they’d found a brand-new dwarf planet, 2012 VP113, beyond the well-populated edge of the Kuiper belt, whose main mass stretches from Neptune’s orbit around 30 astronomical units (or 30 times the Earth-Sun distance) out to 50 astronomical units. It wasn’t the only such object: Sedna, a 600-milewide rock found in 2003,

also boasted this far-out orbit, and it seemed to be making its closest approach to the sun at a similar angle as 2012 VP113. This could be highly coincidental — or it could mean that a giant planet was lurking out there in the dark, influencing both their movements. Caltech astronomer Mike Brown, one of the main players responsible for Pluto’s demotion, saw this paper and was intrigued by the implication. He went down the hall to see his colleague Konstantin Batygin. Batygin, the study’s lead author, hadn’t been thinking much about the solar system or about invisible planets — but the data was intriguing. “These two Kuiper belt objects are really outliers. ... Their orbits do not hug the orbit of Neptune, and hugging the orbit of Neptune is kind of a unifying feature among the

vast population of Kuiper belt objects,” Batygin said. “Neptune could not have gravitationally kicked them out to an orbit with which it doesn’t interact.” Brown and Batygin set out to nail down an explanation. The researchers studied the paths of a half-dozen far-out Kuiper belt objects. They found that certain angles in their orbits were aligned in an inexplicable way, and their perihelia — the point at which each object came closest to the sun — were all clustered very closely together, rather than being randomly distributed. Brown was baffled by these orbits, which often crossed each other. There’s no way that these crossing paths should remain stable, he thought — unless there was something else out there that was massive enough to shepherd these objects along, keeping them in line. The scientists calculated

that such a massive planet would have an orbit whose closest approach was on the other side of the sun from the perihelia of the objects it was shepherding. This giant planet is so far out, however, that the closest it gets to the sun is a whopping 200 astronomical units. Planet Nine would probably be somewhere around 10 Earth masses, making it a tiny gas giant, known as a mini-Neptune. In fact it’s this mini status that probably had something to do with its banishment to the interplanetary boonies, said Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institute for Science in Washington. “It was probably the runt of the family,” said Sheppard, who co-wrote the paper that piqued Brown’s interest. Planet Nine may have formed closer into the sun but was hurled out of the area thanks to the gravitational influence of one of the larger gas giants, such as Jupiter. If this planet exists, it could shed light on the solar system’s early years, and help explain why the solar system looks the way it does today, scientists said. And in some ways, it could explain why our solar system’s demographics look quite different from those around the stars observed by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. Kepler has found that planets with a few to several solar masses — super-Earths and miniNeptunes — are common around other stars, and yet our home system seems to be missing these usual characters.

Bikini stand barista escapes prison time By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A bikini-espresso stand worker, who admitted that she helped her boss rake in millions of dollars by selling sex at roadside coffee huts, was spared jail time Wednesday after cooperating in a criminal investigation. Samantha Lancaster had agreed to testify against former Snohomish County sheriff’s Sgt. Darrell O’Neill, who was

sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty to one count of felony conspiracy to commit money laundering and two counts of misdemeanor official misconduct. O’Neill, 60, provided information about undercover police stings in exchange for sexual favors. O’Neill came under investigation after baristas began talking about a “dirty cop” in Snohomish County who reportedly was

supplying their boss with confidential police information. Also convicted was Carmela Panico, former owner of the Java Juggs and Twin Peaks chains in Snohomish and King counties. The coffee hut investigation by Everett police and the FBI found Panico was raking in multimillion-dollar profits. She, too, agreed to testify for the prosecution and was given a firsttime-offender waiver that spared her jail time.

Lancaster, 25, who managed stands for Panico, could have faced up to eight months in jail. She pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree promoting prostitution, a felony. In his recommendation for no jail time, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Bob Hendrix described Lancaster as “perhaps the least culpable” of the three defendants. He also said she had a heroin addiction that cost up to $1,000 a day.

Lancaster’s defense lawyer, Ama Okoro, said her client cooperated “even though she feared retaliation.” Lancaster declined to speak when the judge offered her a chance to make a statement. She was ordered to get a substance abuse evaluation and follow through on any treatment recommendations. Eric Stevick: 425-339-3446; stevick@heraldnet.com.

GRANITE FALLS — An investigation into stolen cars and drugs led police to serve a search warrant Wednesday near Granite Falls. Two people were arrested and a handgun seized. A SWAT team arrived on the property in the 16000 block of Burn Road, just west of town, around 8 a.m. The property is a suspected chop shop, according to detectives. The case started when two stolen cars were recovered in Monroe, police spokeswoman Debbie Willis said. Monroe is a member of the North Sound Metro SWAT team, a tactical group drawn from multiple agencies. The Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force also was involved in the operation. Police remained at the scene as of late afternoon. They had booked into jail a 40-year-old Arlington man and a 38-year Snohomish man. The Arlington man is accused of illegally possessing a firearm. The Snohomish man had warrants out for his arrest. The Arlington man’s parents own the property but live out of state, said Terry Haldeman, a Snohomish County sheriff’s detective assigned to the task force. The house is in foreclosure and scheduled for auction. Monroe police said they recovered a handgun and methamphetamine. They also

‘Send good thoughts’

Camano Island man faces long recovery after one-car accident By Kari Bray Herald Writer

CAMANO ISLAND — Ric Shallow was planning to leave for Kenya this week on his fourth service trip to help with veterinary care and agricultural development in rural villages. Instead of collecting donated seeds and packing his bags, he’s recovering from a traumatic brain injury, fractured bones and collapsed lungs at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Shallow, 58, was badly hurt in a crash Jan. 7, when his car hit a patch of black ice and skidded off the road and into a tree along North Sunrise Boulevard on

Camano Island. Another car had slipped off the road in the other direction shortly before and the driver called 911. First responders hurried to airlift Ric Shallow to Harborview for emergency surgery. Julie Shallow, Ric’s wife of 37 years, is asking for prayers and positive thoughts while her husband heals. Doctors say his brain scans look good and she’s optimistic he’ll make a full recovery, but it’s going to be a long road. Ric Shallow’s awake and aware but hasn’t been able to communicate much, she said. He responds to his family’s voices. Last week, when his daughter

asked him to wiggle his toes, he did. Julie has gotten him to lift his leg. “He’s going in the right direction,” she said. Ric and Julie Shallow graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School together in 1975 and married in 1978. They’ve lived on Camano Island for 16 years and have four grown children and three grandchildren. Dan Haskins, a local veterinarian, and his wife have been close friends with the Shallows for nine years. They attend Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Stanwood together and Haskins leads the service trips to Kenya. The volunteers and villagers they’ve met

Emergency planners prepare for deadly ‘Big One’ By Terrence Petty Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — As military helicopters ferry search and rescue teams over the Pacific Northwest, below them are scenes of devastation from a giant earthquake that could strike the region at any time. Tsunami waters surge through coastal communities. Buildings, bridges and roads lie in ruins. Fires burn out of control. Survivors are stranded on rooftops, cling to floating debris or are trapped inside wrecked buildings. Seismologists say a full rupture of a 650-mile-long offshore fault running from Northern California to British Columbia and an ensuing tsunami could come in our lifetime, and emergency management officials are busy preparing for the worst. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the “Big One” happens. These contingency plans reflect deep anxiety about the potential gravity of the looming disaster: upward of 14,000 people dead in the worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region’s economy setback for years, if not decades. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred thus far in the U.S. There would be waves of cargo planes, helicopters and ships, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, emergency officials, mortuary teams, police officers, firefighters, engineers,

medical personnel and other specialists. “The response will be orders of magnitude larger than Hurricane Katrina or Superstorm Sandy,” said Lt. Col. Clayton Braun of the Washington State Army National Guard, referring to two natural disasters in recent U.S. history. Since 2013, Braun has led a team putting together a military response plan for Washington, to be used in conjunction with efforts by state and federal civilian agencies. Oregon’s response plan is called the Cascadia Playbook, named after the threatening offshore fault — the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The plan, unveiled last year, has been handed out to key officials so the state can respond quickly when disaster strikes. “That playbook is never more than 100 feet from where I am,” said Andrew Phelps, director of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. When Phelps goes out to dinner, he keeps the playbook in

his car for quick access. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan in 2011 gave greater clarity to what the Pacific Northwest needs to do to improve its readiness. “The Japanese quake and tsunami allowed light bulbs to go off for policymakers,” Phelps said. Federal and state emergency planners, as well as military officials, have been holding meetings to identify what can be done to lessen loss of life and to put the region in a better position to recover. Much still needs to be done, and it is impossible to fully prepare for a catastrophe of this magnitude, but those responsible for drafting the evolving contingency plans believe they are making headway. The plans call for using a tiered system for delivering personnel, gear and supplies into the devastated region. Large cargo planes, like the military’s C-5 Galaxy, would land at airports or air bases capable of

handling them, and then progressively smaller aircraft would be used to get personnel and supplies to smaller airfields close to devastated areas. Helicopters will play a crucial role, especially in coastal communities, which would likely be unreachable by road. Ships will likely be needed to help deliver of emergency supplies and to assist with the evacuation of displaced and injured people. Emergency medical facilities to treat the injured will be set up because hospitals on the coast will probably be too damaged to use. Collection points for bodies will be created. Hotels, motels, college dorms, sports arenas and government facilities would be used as temporary shelters for evacuees. Military and civilian engineers will be sent in to begin repairing an infrastructure that could be shattered in the western, and most populated, third of the Pacific Northwest.

In the Legislature, he carried the torch for the party’s conservative voices in the county and around the state. Koster then spent three terms on the Snohomish

County Council, after which he joined the administration of former Democratic County Executive John Lovick in 2014. He served as the county’s first ombudsman but didn’t get reappointed amid concerns about his penning of an anti-union fundraising letter for the Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank led by a former Koster campaign adviser. Koster has filed a claim for wrongful termination. Along the way, Koster lost three races for Congress. The last, in 2012,

The main coastal highway, U.S. Route 101, will suffer heavy damage from the shaking and from the tsunami. Traffic on I-5 will likely have to be rerouted because of large cracks in the pavement. Transportable water purification systems and emergency communications units will be deployed.

Seattle, Portland and other urban areas could suffer considerable damage. Specially trained urban search and rescue teams would be sent to look for survivors in destroyed buildings.

No Democrat has entered the race, but Koster doesn’t expect to go unchallenged. Neither does Wright. “The people of the 39th deserve real representation that not only understands their needs, but won’t waste time with the same tired right-wing anti-this anti-that platform, which

in the end gets nothing accomplished,” Wright wrote. Such rhetoric isn’t going to faze a veteran politician like Koster, who pronounced himself fit for the coming political battle. “I don’t relish getting into campaigns,” he confided. “But once I’m in, I’m all in.” Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

They saved his life.” He was on his way to work around 9 a.m. when he crashed. She was on her way home from her job as a flight attendant.

Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland’s top attorney says the city is legally obligated to keep buying parking meters from a Swedish company despite a bribery scandal. Questions about Cale Group and its meters have lingered since the city’s former parking manager was sent to prison for taking bribes from the company, reported The Oregonian. Investigators said that the parking manager, Ellis McCoy, took $200,000 in cash and travel favors over 10 years from two executives at Cale. McCoy was sentenced to two years in prison in 2015. Cale announced last year that it found no criminal wrongdoing in the bribery allegations, which relate to a 2006 contract. But nearly 150 pages of newly released records show that city investigators wrestled with Cale over their access to facts from the company’s internal investigation. Stoll Berne, an outside law firm hired by Portland, reported several problems that forced investigators to essentially take Cale’s lawyers at their word.

“Our ability to crosscheck the diligence and adversarial nature of the investigation was substantially limited by the Special Committee’s refusal to allow us to review original witness interview notes, documents, emails and other source materials,” Stoll Berne wrote in an October 2015 report. In December, Portland city attorneys were allowed confidential access to emails and documents tied to the investigation. City attorneys did not report that they ever reviewed the final report, but details were shared verbally with city officials. City Attorney Trace Reeve told officials in late December that Portland has no legal ground to end its contract. Officials now plan to install about 360 parking meters in Northwest Portland. “I think that it’s time for us to move past 2006 and install some parking meters in 2016,” Commissioner Steve Novick told The Oregonian on Tuesday. Novick, who oversees the Portland Bureau of Transportation, called Cale’s investigation “extensive.”

Lawyers stay on Carnation case Associated Press SEATTLE — A judge has denied a request by defense lawyers to be removed from the case of a woman accused of killing six family members in her parents’ rural Carnation home. The Seattle Times reported that attorney Colleen O’Connor on Tuesday told the King County Superior Court judge that her

client, Michele Anderson, had been speaking to a cellmate about the case despite being told repeatedly not to speak about it, making it difficult to proceed. Anderson is set to go to trial Monday. She and Joseph McEnroe are accused of fatally shooting Anderson’s parents, her brother, her sister-in-law and her niece and nephew on Christmas Eve 2007.

2015 was Earth’s hottest Associated Press WASHINGTON — Last year wasn’t just the Earth’s hottest year on record — it left a century of high temperature marks in the dust. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced Wednesday that 2015 was by far the hottest year in 136 years of record keeping. For the most part, scientists at the agencies and elsewhere blamed man-made global warming, with a boost from El Nino. NOAA said 2015’s temperature was 58.62 degrees Fahrenheit, passing 2014 by a record margin of 0.29 degrees.

That’s 1.62 degrees above the 20th-century average. NASA, which measures differently, said 2015 was 0.23 degrees warmer than the record set in 2014 and 1.6 degrees above 20th century average. Because of the wide margin over 2014, NASA calculated that 2015 was a record with 94 percent certainty, more than double the certainty it had last year when announcing 2014 as a record. NOAA put the number at above 99 percent — or “virtually certain,” said Tom Karl, director of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. For the first time Earth is 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer

than it was in pre-industrial times, NOAA and NASA said. That’s a key milestone because world leaders have set a threshold of trying to avoid warming of 1.5 or degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times. Because of the pace of rising temperatures, “we don’t have very far to go to reach 1.5,” Karl said. But 1.5 or 2 degrees are not “magic numbers” and “we’re already seeing the impacts of global warming,” said NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies director Gavin Schmidt. “This trend will continue; it will continue because we understand why it’s happening,” Schmidt said. “It’s happening because the

dominant force is carbon dioxide” from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Although 2015 is now the hottest on record, it was the fourth time in 11 years that Earth broke annual marks for high temperature. “It’s getting to the point where breaking record is the norm,” Texas Tech climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said. “It’s almost unusual when we’re not breaking a record.” December 2015 was the 10th month last year that set a monthly warmth record, with only January and April not hitting high marks. “That’s the first time we’ve seen that,” said NOAA’s Karl.

ISIS razes ancient monastery Associated Press IRBIL, Iraq — The Obama administration and the Vatican condemned the Islamic State group Wednesday for razing Iraq’s oldest Christian monastery, a 1,400-year-old structure that survived assaults by nature and man for centuries before it was deliberately destroyed by extremists. At the United Nations, UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said reducing St. Elijah’s monastery in Mosul to a field of rubble was malicious and misguided. The Associated Press confirmed the news with exclusive satellite images published Wednesday. “Despite their relentless crimes, extremists will never be able to erase history,” said Bokova, who called the demolition a war crime. “It also reminds us how terrified by history the extremists are, because understanding the past undermines the pretexts they use to justify these crimes and exposes them as expressions of pure hatred and ignorance.” St. Elijah’s monastery on the outskirts of Mosul was a place of worship recently for U.S. troops, who worked to restore it. In earlier centuries, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches and prayed in the cool chapel. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ’s name, were carved near the entrance. In Washington on Wednesday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the Obama administration condemned the destruction by ISIS. “They continue to carry out these kinds of depraved acts, and it really symbolizes or exemplifies their bankrupt ideology,” he said. In his office in exile in Irbil, Iraq, the Rev. Paul Thabit Habib, 39, stared quietly at before- and after-images of the monastery that once perched on a hillside above his hometown of Mosul. Shaken, he flipped back to his own photos for comparison.

These satellite images show the site of the 1,400-year-old Christian monastery before (above) and after it was destroyed.

“I can’t describe my sadness,” he said in Arabic. “Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically leveled. We see it as an attempt to expel us from Iraq, eliminating and finishing our existence in this land.” ISIS, which broke from al-Qaida and now controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, has killed thousands of civilians and forced out hundreds of thousands of Christians, threatening a religion that has endured in the region for 2,000 years. Along the way, its fighters have destroyed buildings and ruined historical and culturally significant structures they consider contrary to their interpretation of Islam. Those who knew the monastery wondered about its fate after the extremists swept through in June 2014 and largely cut communications to the area. Now, St. Elijah’s has joined a growing list of more than 100

demolished religious and historic sites, including mosques, tombs, shrines and churches in Syria and Iraq. The extremists have defaced or ruined ancient monuments in Nineveh, Palmyra and Hatra. Museums and libraries have been looted, books burned, artwork crushed — or trafficked. “A big part of tangible history has been destroyed,” said Rev. Manuel Yousif Boji. A Chaldean Catholic pastor in Southfield, Michigan, he remembers attending Mass at St. Elijah’s almost 60 years ago while a seminarian in Mosul. “These persecutions have happened to our church more than once, but we believe in the power of truth, the power of God,” said Boji. He is part of the Detroit area’s Chaldean community, which became the largest outside Iraq after the sectarian bloodshed that followed the U.S. invasion in 2003. Iraq’s Christian population has dropped from 1.3 million then

to 300,000 now, church authorities say. At the Vatican, spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi noted that since the monastery dates back to the time Christians were united, the place would be a special one for many. He said it was the first news he had had of the destruction. “Unfortunately, there is this systemic destruction of precious sites, not only cultural, but also religious and spiritual. It’s very sad and dramatic,” Lombardi said. The loss of the monastery is a blow for U.S. troops and advisers who served in Iraq and had tried to protect and honor the site, a hopeful endeavor in a violent place and time. Suzanne Bott, who spent more than two years restoring St. Elijah’s Monastery as a U.S. State Department cultural adviser in Iraq, teared up when showed her the images. “Oh no way. It’s just razed completely,” said Bott. “What we lose is a very tangible reminder of the roots of a religion. Now it’s gone.” Army reserve Col. Mary Prophit remembered a sunrise service in St. Elijah where, as a Catholic lay minister, she served Communion. “I let that moment sink in, the candlelight, the first rays of sunshine. We were worshipping in a place where people had been worshipping God for 1,400 years,” said Prophit, who was deployed there in 2004 and again in 2009. “I would imagine that many people are feeling like, ‘What were the last 10 years for if these guys can go in and destroy everything?’ ” said Prophit, a library manager in Glenoma, Washington. This month, at the request of AP, satellite imagery firm DigitalGlobe pulled a series of images of the same spot from their archive of pictures taken globally every day. Imagery analyst Stephen Wood, CEO of Allsource Analysis, reviewed the pictures for AP and identified the date of destruction between Aug. 27 and Sept. 28, 2014.

Best countries? U.S. comes in 4th The Washington Post The votes are in, America, and the best country in the world is ... (Drum roll, please.) It’s Germany. Sorry, U.S., you’re fourth — right behind third-ranked Britain and second-ranked Canada. But, hey, America beat Sweden! That’s according to the inaugural “Best Countries” ranking from U.S. News & World Report, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and global brand consultants BAV Consulting. The ranking was officially unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday.

“Just as we have done with universities, hospitals and other institutions, our Best Countries portal will be a global homepage for stories and data to help citizens, business leaders and governments evaluate performance in a rapidly changing world,” said Mortimer Zuckerman, chairman and editor-in-chief of U.S. News. The publication is known the world over for many of its rankings. The new project ranks 60 countries across 24 categories and is based on a survey of more than 16,000 people. The U.S. ranked first in power and influence. Sweden scored the most top spots, ranking first for being the best

country for citizenship, raising kids and green living. Other top rankings include Brazil for adventure; Luxembourg for opening a business; France for cultural influence; Germany for entrepreneurship; Canada for quality of life; Italy for heritage; and India for its upand-coming economy. In the end, Germany scored highest overall. The ranking relied on surveys from 16,248 people from 36 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. Of those, more than 8,000 were “informed elites” (college-educated, middle- or upper-class individuals). More than 4,500 were business leaders, defined as senior leaders

in an organization or individuals who own a small business that employs others. The rest belonged to the general public. Each respondent was asked to share his or her perceptions on a random selection of 65 attributes for a random selection of countries. The attributes were each scored and grouped into nine broader categories: adventure, citizenship, cultural influence, entrepreneurship, heritage, movers, open for business, power and quality of life. Scores in each category were then weighted based on correlation with widespread prosperity, measured using the International Monetary Fund’s 2014 per capita gross domestic product purchasing power parity.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Hunt for missing Marines suspended KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii — A massive search for 12 Marines who were aboard two helicopters that crashed off Hawaii has been suspended, after the five-day effort failed to locate any sign of them. Officials said Tuesday afternoon that the search was being suspended at sundown and the Marine Corps would transition to “recovery and salvage” efforts. A memorial is tentatively planned for Friday at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay. The Marines were alerted when the CH-53E helicopters carrying six crew members each failed to return to their base at Kaneohe Bay following a nighttime training mission. Hours later, a Coast Guard helicopter and C-130 airplane spotted debris 2½ miles off Oahu.

D.C.: Attacks on ISIS The Obama administration has granted the military new authority to strike ISIS in Afghanistan, signaling a more sustained fight against the extremist group outside of its base in Iraq and Syria, officials said Wednesday. A defense official said new rules of engagement approved last week permit U.S. commanders in Afghanistan to launch airstrikes against militants affiliated with the Islamic State, in the same way that the military targets fighters linked to al-Qaida.

School lunch rules eased School meals could become a bit tastier under legislation approved by a Senate committee. The bipartisan measure approved by a voice vote Wednesday is designed to help schools that said the Obama administration’s healthier meal rules are too restrictive. Leaders of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee introduced the legislation Monday after negotiating an agreement to ease requirements for whole grains and delaying a deadline to cut sodium levels. Some school lunch directors said it would help them plan meals that are more appealing to students.

Michigan: School sickout More than 85 of Detroit’s approximately 100 public schools were closed Wednesday as teachers staged a sickout to protest the system’s overcrowded classrooms, broken finances and crumbling facilities. Teachers said they are fed up with working in schools that aren’t fit for them or their students. Classrooms are plagued by rats, roaches, mold, ceilings full of holes and unreliable heat. Teachers don’t have textbooks or other supplies they need to teach, they said, and they haven’t had a raise in 10 years.

Obama: No speech for Malia Malia Obama’s high school will have to find another commencement speaker when she graduates this year. Her father, President Barack Obama, said he’ll be too emotional to get through a speech without crying. Obama said in Detroit on Wednesday that he’ll just “cry and sit there” when the 17-year-old graduates. He said he’ll be too overcome to say anything. Malia is a senior at the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington. She is expected to start college in the fall.

AROUND THE WORLD Vietnam: Newest leaders The ruling Communist Party on Thursday opened an eight-day congress that will culminate with the naming of a set of leaders who will govern the country for the next five years. Held every five years, the Communist Party of Vietnam’s 12th Congress has brought together 1,510 delegates representing Vietnam’s 63 provinces, ministries and other party organizations. It ends Jan. 28 when the names of the new general secretary, the prime minister, the president, the chairman of the National Assembly and other top functionaries are announced. The general secretary is the de facto No. 1 leader of the country.

Greece: China to buy port The nation has approved an offer from China’s Cosco group to buy a 67 percent stake in the country’s largest port, a state privatization fund said Wednesday, in a process initially opposed by the left-wing government. The fund said it backed the improved offer from Cosco of $402.5 million for the 67 percent stake in the Piraeus Port Authority, which operates a port near Athens. From Herald news services

Feds send temp-staff warning Higher rates of wage theft at outsourced labor providers have been well documented. By Lydia DePillis The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Department of Labor thinks more companies should take responsibility for their contracted workforces, and it’s just told them exactly how and when. If there’s one trend that’s characterized the changing American workforce more than any other in recent decades, it’s been the fracturing of the employment relationship, as companies focus

on their “core competencies” and pay other businesses to do everything else. Subcontracting, outsourcing, and the use of staffing agencies allows businesses to inexpensively scale up and scale down their labor needs, without the extra hassle and liability of adding payroll. But it also adds another layer between workers and the bosses who call the shots, shielding managers from responsibility when the labor provider doesn’t follow the law. Department of Labor’ Wage and Hour Division director David Weil, a former business school professor, calls this trend “fissuring.” He thinks lots of those client companies should really be considered “joint employers,”

together with the contractors that sign the checks, making them liable for violations. And today, his department issued detailed guidance drawing the categories in black and white, sending a message to employers that they had better fall on the right side. “I think the majority of noncompliance that we see is people just not getting what the law is, and what their responsibilities are under it,” Weil said. “We also find cases of people who are clearly playing games, and clearly trying to shift out responsibility, and often have structured things in a way that lead towards more noncompliance.” Weil’s division has stepped up its proactive enforcement of situations where companies

are functionally controlling the workers they order up from labor providers — and broadcasts its enforcement of egregious violations. Back in October, for example, investigators found that temp workers at a snack food producer in New Jersey were cheated out of overtime wages, and ordered the company to pay back wages, damages, and civil penalties. That’s the most typical form of joint employment — a “vertical” arrangement, with one company hiring another, as the guidance describes. But joint employment can also be “horizontal,” when a worker might employed by two subsidiaries of the same See TEMPS, Page A8

President takes Detroit victory lap “The year before I took office, the auto industry laid off 400,000. We were in a free fall,” Obama said.

DANIEL MEARS / DETROIT NEWS

President Barack Obama gets out of a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, an all-electric vehicle with an estimated range of 200 miles, while touring the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Wednesday.

Obama said the structured bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler were worth the investment. “Because the auto industry came back, it gave the capacity for the city of Detroit to come back, too.” Obama and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan made a stop at the Jolly Pumpkin brewery, where they dined with Tom Kartsotis, the founder of the Shinola watch company and Teana Dowdell, an autoworker at a Detroit-area GM plant. After lunch and the Shinola stop, it was off to downtown to take in the auto show. “Next year, I’ve got to say goodbye to the beast,” said Obama, referring to the presidential limousine he usually travels in. “So I

need to do a little browsing now.” One person in the crowd yelled out, “Ford.” Another said, “Cadillac.” But Obama said the first brand new vehicle he bought was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. “And I’m not going to tell you what I’m going to buy now,” he said. About half of the auto show was blocked off by a big black curtain so Obama could tour the show without dealing with the crowds. Plenty of people were waiting outside the curtain to see the rest of the show. His first stop was a ZF automated driving display. “This is cool,” Obama told Brian Johnson, an employee at ZF. He then went and checked out the Fiat Chrysler Automobile

plug-in hybrid model of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, which was unveiled at the show, and learned more from Mitch Clauw, Fiat Chrysler’s vice president of vehicle engineering. “You guys remember ‘Get Shorty,’ don’t you?” he said, referring to the mobster movie based on the book by Michigan author Elmore Leonard and starring Gene Hackman, “It’s cool driving a minivan.” Then it was on to the 2017 Chevy Bolt, the new electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. He toured the display with GM President Dan Ammann and the head of the Chevy brand, Alan Batey. See DETROIT, Page A8

FAA’s air traffic control comes under fire Associated Press

biz bits

WASHINGTON — Spending on air traffic control operations has doubled over two decades, while productivity has declined and efforts to improve performance have been ineffective, according to a report released Wednesday by a government watchdog. The report by the Department of Transportation’s Inspector General blames the decline in productivity on a culture resistant to change within the Federal Aviation Administration and the agency’s failure to adopt

Oil-price plunge trims consumer prices Falling oil prices pushed the cost of living down in December, with the consumer price index declining for the first time in three months, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The index, which measures a broad array of consumer purchases, declined 0.1 percent from the previous month. The drop was fueled by 2.4 percent decline in energy prices, including a 3.9 percent fall in gasoline costs. It was the fourth time in five months that gas prices fell as the cost of crude oil continued to tumble. Food prices also fell for the second straight month. The 0.2 percent decline was driven by a 0.5 percent drop in grocery store prices, the largest since March.

Wal-Mart plans to boost pay again The vast majority of WalMart’s U.S. employees will get raises as part of the world’s largest retailer’s previously announced commitment to invest in its workforce as it faces pressure from laborbacked groups and seeks to retain workers in a tighter labor force. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Wednesday said more than 1.2 million U.S. hourly workers will get wage increases Feb. 20. Last February, Wal-Mart announced that it would raise base employee wages for 500,000 workers to $9 an hour last year, with plans to move it to $10 per hour, next month. The company, which is the largest U.S. private employer, also said it will provide free, basic shortterm disability to full-time hourly workers.

Detroit Free Press DETROIT — President Barack Obama got a real taste of Detroit on Wednesday, grabbing lunch at a brewery and making a purchase at a nearby Shinola store before heading downtown to spend a half-hour at the North American International Auto Show, a first for Obama as president. The lunch and shopping stop were part of a day designed to celebrate the resurgence of the domestic automotive industry and the city of Detroit, both of which went through bankruptcy within the last five years before re-emerging, the auto industry with record sales last year, and the city with a rebuilding boom. “The year before I took office, the auto industry laid off 400,000. We were in a free fall,” Obama said during a speech at a United Auto Workers-General Motors human resources facility. “There were no private investors who were going to step up. ... More than 1 million Americans would have lost their jobs. And not just in the auto industry. Their livelihoods were at stake as well.” U.S. auto manufacturing employment has climbed 49 percent from its low point of 623,300 in June 2009 when General Motors and Chrysler were in the midst of their $182 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But with 929,400 such jobs in existence as of December 2015, industry employment remains significantly below its January 2005 level of 1.1 million jobs.

business-like practices. Lawmakers who want to remove air traffic operations from the Federal Aviation Administration’s control and turn them over to a nonprofit corporation quickly pounced on the report as evidence the agency is incapable of modernizing its air traffic operations. The agency has been engaged for more than decade in transitioning from a radar-based air traffic control system to one based on satellite navigation. Decades of personnel, organizational and acquisition reforms have failed to slow the agency’s cost growth, improve

The city of Mountlake Terrace has partnered with government website specialist CivicPlus for the launch of its newly redesigned government website, www.cityofmlt. com.

Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. “This report shows that the FAA simply isn’t suited to successfully modernize our nation’s antiquated air traffic control system,” Shuster said. “The FAA remains a vast government bureaucracy, not a high-tech service provider.” Shuster is expected to introduce legislation within the next two months that would spin off the agency’s air traffic operations to a nonprofit controlled

by a board of aviation “stakeholders,” including airlines, airports and others. With the exception of Delta Air Lines, the airline industry has been lobbying aggressively for the change. Business aircraft operators are opposed to privatizing air traffic operations, fearing they’ll have to pick up a larger share of the cost of operations and be forced out of some airports to make room for more airline flights. An FAA memo responding to the report insists the agency has been effective at controlling the cost of its operations and improving efficiency and effectiveness.

Businesses can now print their reseller permit directly from their online My Account via the revenue website. Before adding this feature, a business needing its reseller permit had to contact the agency and ask for a reprint to be mailed. Biz Bits runs Monday through Saturday.

New Mexico sues Volkswagen New Mexico is suing Volkswagen and other German automakers over an emissions cheating scandal that involves millions of cars worldwide, the first state to do so but almost certainly not the last. The state attorney general filed the lawsuit in state district court in Santa Fe late Tuesday. He alleges Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and their U.S. subsidiaries violated New Mexico’s air quality standards and engaged in deceptive marketing to pass off certain diesel models as clean and efficient.

Feds mull complaints on Ford Focus doors U.S. auto safety regulators have opened an investigation into complaints that doors won’t latch properly on about 400,000 Ford Focus compact cars, including some reports that the doors have opened while the cars are moving. The probe by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers Focuses from the 2012 and 2013 model years, according to documents posted Wednesday on the agency’s website. It’s similar to an investigation that caused a recall last year of more than 456,000 Lincoln MKZ and Ford Fusion and Fiesta models. The agency said 73 drivers have reported problems with latches.

company, but they never get overtime because their hours are tracked separately. Weil says they’ve found similar problems in all kinds of industries, like agriculture, construction, and shipbuilding. Higher rates of wage theft at outsourced labor providers have been well documented, as are safety lapses that lead to sometimes fatal injuries. Another division of the Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has been running an initiative on temporary workers, often reminding clients of their joint responsibility. The issue of joint employment is similar in nature to misclassification of employees as independent contractors, on which Weil’s office issued similar guidance back in July. It’s also related to the National Labor Relations Board’s recent decision on the definition of joint employment for the purpose of union organizing, which is likely to have a bearing on the massive

they’re talking about. These are the same folks that would have let this industry go under.” The auto renaissance has been dampened in recent weeks in a global market roiled by a slowdown in China and collapsing oil prices. Fiat Chrysler shares fell as much as 7 percent Wednesday to a new 52-week low of $6.60 before rebounding slightly to $6.89. GM closed Wednesday at $29.42, down from the $34.01 it traded at on Dec. 31. Ford shares are down nearly 17 percent from the first of the year. It was GM’s growth and profits from China that carried it through the Great Recession. Now the company’s recovery in North America is offsetting the troubles in China and other emerging markets.

McDonald’s case that’s currently waiting for a hearing in New York. The Obama administration’s aggressive stance on joint employment has irritated some large industries, as well as the conservative politicians who see a connection between the disparate government efforts to make companies responsible for the people who work for them. On Tuesday, the House Education and Workforce Committee’s Republican staff sent a letter to the Department of Labor detailing information from a Freedom of Information Act request showing that the office of the Solicitor of Labor had reached out to the NLRB’s General Counsel several times on the issue of joint employment. “This information clearly demonstrates that the Department and the NLRB coordinated on joint employer policies,” the letter reads. The franchise industry has been particularly irked by the administration’s regulatory approach. Before having seen the Department of Labor’s new guidance on joint employment, the International Franchise Association didn’t like it. “This is just another example of regulatory

fiat that raises even more questions for employers,” said senior vice president Matt Haller. “The administration should consider going through formal rulemaking instead of just issuing a ‘guidance’ without even an outreach to targeted industries who may be impacted.” Weil says that this criticism is overblown, just like those levied after the labor department issued guidance on misclassification. “When things calmed down, people saw that one, we’re very serious about this,” he says. “And two, what we’re asking is very clear and straightforward. We’re not playing an elaborate gotcha game.” Not everyone is so disturbed by Weil’s pursuit of bad actors. The staffing industry itself, for example, says that most of its clients recognize the joint employment relationship, with no adverse

effects. “This should not be of concern to staffing clients, as potential liability for temporary workers is the same as (and in some cases less than) liability for the client’s internal employees, and can be mitigated and controlled by clients,” American Staffing Association general counsel Stephen Dwyer wrote in an email. To avoid costly lawsuits, he says, clients should simply select labor providers with good compliance records. And that’s what more rigorous enforcement is likely to do, says Fiona Coombe, director of legal and regulatory research at Staffing Industry Analysts. “If there’s a brighter light shone on the issue of joint employment, then clients will be more concerned about who their staffing partners are,” she says. At the same time, however,

joint employment doesn’t always solve the problem for temporary employees. Dave DeSario, who runs a group called the Alliance for the American Temporary Workforce, says that some staffing agencies and clients still point fingers at each other when something goes wrong. Without a union, it’s difficult for temp workers to get the representation that would allow them to pursue a claim before an agency says it don’t have any more work for them to do. “Temp workers can’t afford lawyers, and are in a poor position to defend themselves,” DeSario says. “Joint employer complicates the employment situation, for sure, and when things are complicated, it’s workers who have a harder time understanding it.” That’s why DeSario also wants to see more transparency about the safety records of staffing agencies, and information about how many of those temp workers go on to find permanent jobs. He also wants direct hiring to become easier so that the incentive to bring on outsourced workers isn’t as strong — making it so that workers don’t have to contend with a fissured workplace at all.

Support Sultan school bond As employers and colleges have placed greater emphasis on high school students graduating with more education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics studies, school districts have worked to provide the teachers and curriculum needed. But classroom space with the necessary flexibility and facilities for those subjects also is required, and it’s why the Sultan School District’s plans for improvements at Sultan High School include four new STEM laboratory classrooms as part of $32.44 million in improvements and new construction. “We’re going to have a problem if we don’t have that lab space,” said Sultan School District Superintendent Dan Chaplik. The work at Sultan High is part of a $47.77 million bond request to Sultan School District voters. The voter-approved funding will be joined by more than $10 million in matching funds from the state that will fund the following projects: The $32.44 million for the high school also funds construction for a new gym, conversion of the current gym into an auxiliary facility, a new performing arts center and expansion of the band and music room, four other classrooms in addition to the STEM classrooms and infrastructure and other improvements;

School bond, levy elections Voters in several Snohomish County school districts should soon receive ballots in the mail for levy or bond elections. The Sultan and Lake Stevens school districts are seeking voter approval of bond elections to fund construction projects. Arlington, Edmonds, Mukilteo, StanwoodCamano and Lakewood school districts are seeking approval of levies for maintenance and operation, technology and capital improvements or both. Ballots must be in the mail or returned to county elections drop boxes by Feb. 9. A list of ballot drop boxes is available at tinyurl.com/ SnoCoBallotBoxes. $3.25 million for Sultan Middle School will provide a new roof, new gym floor and conversion of the shop and office space into STEM classrooms; $3.82 million at Sultan Elementary and $2.15 million at Gold Bar Elementary will provide for roof replacement and health and safety improvements throughout the schools; and

$6.1 million will build a new educational support services center that will centralize the district’s bus services, maintenance and technology services now at Sultan Middle School and relocate the district offices from Sultan Elementary, freeing space there for an alternative high school program. A community-involved process evaluated the district’s existing facilities and its needs, then prioritized which projects to include in the bond request. Debbie Copple, director of the Sultan Chamber of Commerce and president of the Sultan Education Foundation, participated in the process and supports the bond proposal’s emphasis on the high school, which was built 30 years ago. “In 30 years, everything has changed. We didn’t have the technology 30 years ago we have now, computers weren’t common and no one had heard of STEM education,” she said. Enrollment growth requires more space for classrooms, physical education classes, as well as a performing arts center and classroom space for award-winning musical and performing arts programs that now meet in the lunchroom, she said. This will be the district’s first bond request since a successful request in 1998. That bond, which charges a current millage rate of 27 cents per $1,000

of assessed value will expire in 2017. The proposed bond will have a millage rate of $2.13 per $1,000 of assessed value, resulting in an additional $446 for the annual tax bill of a home valued at $200,000. Bond elections, unlike levy elections, require approval by 60 percent of voters. Additionally, a minimum of at least 40 percent of the voters in the district’s last election must participate to validate the election. Chaplik said he believes the district has been responsible in its request. The area economy is growing again, following the recession, during which the district saw a decline in enrollment. Enrollment now is increasing, and the district needs the space and improved facilities for students. “It’s what we need to do to keep up maintenance,” Chaplik said. “We have to be responsible to make sure our learning environment is where it needs to be.” “This is an investment that benefits everyone in the community,” Copple added. The Sultan School District, through the process it used in preparing the bond request, has balanced its responsibility to meet the needs of its students against the ability of the community to support the request. The Herald Editorial Board encourages support for the Feb. 9 bond request.

I have been called names before, since I am man of faith, I am used to this. People who lack faith simply don’t understand how I can believe in something that they cannot tangibly see or experience. I find their lack of faith sad and I do hope they one day see the truth, but to insult them and wish personal or emotional harm to them? That’s not right. My final point, I learned in my early years of high school, if you wish to win someone to your side, use open and honest dialog combined with empathy and compassion. The global warming folks should try to relearn that lesson. Its bound to be more successful than telling someone they are an idiot or worse yet, should be arrested. Yes there are leaders in this country who have pitched this “solution” to us “deniers.” Incidentally, I was also a denier when many of my teachers in high school warned me of the global ice age that was inevitable.

Shouldn’t it reflect oil price? While a lot of people, including myself, have selfishly cheered as the price of oil has dropped through the roof, I now realize my selfishness was all for not. If I would have known that the price at the pump would be the same for $50 per barrel oil as it is for $30 per barrel oil I probably would not have spent near as much time cheering the price drop on.

Sanders actually in the center It’s deja vu all over again! All I hear from people is how much they like Bernie Sanders, but he just can’t win. Wasn’t that what they said about Barack Obama? This week, the former governor of Pennsylvania pointed out that Bernie’s ideas were so big, that nothing would get done. In other words, we need to lower our expectations, or do the “Clinton triangulation.” As long as the population votes for vanilla, that’s what we get. The right votes for the most extreme candidates, and everyone on both sides of the political spectrum shift that way. Why else is it that the party of Nixon no longer believes in the EPA? Or abortion rights? Or equal rights? The problem is that Bernie’s not even that extreme! He’s just about where the center was, 30 years ago ... pro-environment, pro-jobs, pro-equality for all, pro-people over Wall Street. Obviously, the left is preferable to the right, in my opinion. But winning at all costs, i.e. “smear and fear” on the part of the Hillary camp regarding Medicare for All, does not endear me to her cause. The hypocrisy of using right wing

■■CLIMATE CHANGE

Insults don’t help to persuade Recent Herald letters to the Editor and numerous articles from “objective reporters” castigate anyone who does not believe in the “fact” that man is the primary contributor to the apocalyptic theory of global warming, now called climate change for marketing and brand purposes. The tone used in letters, and many like them, is both passionate and insulting. Passion in the context of strong feelings and seemingly emotional connection with a cause. Insulting in the context of the continuing use of personal attacks, name calling and character assassination for those who simply don’t believe or question the “resolution” of the theory. In addition, obfuscation of other positions simply to further isolate those who comply from those who have yet to make up their mind, is extremely disturbing.

Sanders angrily drags his party far left of center

eb Bush must be watching the Democratic primary with unadulterated envy. The Democratic debates have been comparatively civil — and conveniently scheduled to reduce viewership and impact. Bush has to contend with Donald Trump — and Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida. DEBRA J. SAUNDERS The establishment Democrat, Hillary Clinton, has only one serious challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. She doesn’t have to calculate which rival — or rivals — to attack. In a small field, the more seasoned candidate has the advantage. And even though Clinton showed a more realistic understanding of what is doable in Washington during Sunday’s NBC Democratic debate, the former first lady and former secretary of state is fighting for to prevail in Iowa and New Hampshire. Sanders is not Trump, but he is as angry as The Donald. The Vermonter’s first scalp would be a “corrupt campaign finance system.” — Supreme Court rulings, you see, are sacrosanct only when they uphold Obamacare. Sanders wants to get rid of private health insurance. During the debate, Clinton deftly reminded him that “even when the Democrats were in charge of Congress, we couldn’t get the votes” for a public option. Moderator Andrea Mitchell reminded Sanders that his own state recently abandoned its plan for singlepayer health care because it threatened to bust the state budget. Sanders blamed Vermont’s Democratic governor for not getting it done. Like Trump, Sanders boasts he can do what mere politicians cannot. Sanders endorses a minimum wage of “at least $15 an hour.” (Clinton supports a $12 federal minimum wage.) That’s more than double the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Does the Democratic base worry about how such an increase might freeze job creation? Apparently not. On the issue of guns, Sanders had inhabited the center. In 2005, he supported legislation that limited legal liability for gun manufacturers. He explained to CNN’s Jake Tapper, “If somebody has a gun and it falls into the hands of a murderer and the murderer kills somebody with a gun, do you hold the gun manufacturer responsible? Not any more than you would hold a hammer company responsible if somebody beats somebody over the head with a hammer.” After Clinton hammered Sanders on the issue, however, he announced his support for a measure to make it easier to sue gun-makers. Political pundits talk about how the GOP has moved to the far right. Sunday’s debate showed a Democratic party that has moved to the far left. Sanders wants to eliminate tuition at public universities. (Clinton countered with a pledge of “debt-free tuition” at public colleges.) All that free health care and higher education is going to cost a fortune. No worries. Sanders wants to deliver a “political revolution.” Sanders has tapped into the left’s anger at Wall Street. Clinton cannot separate herself from the big banks. “You’ve received over $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year,” Sanders scolded Clinton. Sanders’ angry rants would hurt him in an average election cycle. But in 2016, anger is in vogue. Email Debra J. Saunders at dsaunders@ sfchronicle.com.

Casino exec, waitress, gambler charged with slot scheme Associated Press WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A casino vice president plotted with a cocktail waitress and a gambler to steal

more than $400,000 from a northeastern Pennsylvania casino, orchestrating a scam involving stolen identities and free slots play, authorities said.

Robert Pellegrini, a former executive at Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wilkes-Barre, was charged along with server Rochelle Poszeluznyj and patron

Mark Heltzel. They each face more than 170 counts including theft, identity theft and criminal conspiracy. State police allege

Poszeluznyj collected players’ casino card numbers and personal identification numbers when they paid for drinks and passed them along to Pellegrini to make

duplicate cards. Pellegrini added fraudulent free slots play to the duplicates and gave them to Heltzel to play at the machines, according to court documents.

Crabs: 7 were under legal minimum harvest size From Page A1

In the newest case, fisheries officers began watching the suspects, ages 36 and 33, after receiving a tip in early December that they were fishing illegally near Tulalip Shores. Both men are Native American,

according to court papers. “It is a cooperative effort between the state and the tribe,” Cenci said. “By working together, we are starting to get a handle on this.” On several occasions, fisheries officers allegedly watched the men use row boats that didn’t belong

to them to pull up crab pots before driving to restaurants to sell the catch. Fisheries officials said the crabs were taken from privately owned “fee lands” off the Tulalip Indian Reservation. In December, an undercover officer reportedly

bought 24 crabs for $120 and was given four more for free, court papers said. Seven of the 28 crabs were under the legal minimum of 6.25 inches. Harvesting crabs before they reach the minimum size affects breeding. “There is a definite

conservation impact, especially when you are dealing with undersized crab,” Cenci said. The sale of illegally harvested shellfish also creates an unfair advantage among restaurants, Cenci said. The suspects allegedly

sold crabs to three nail salons in Marysville and Smokey Point. “I think at the nail salon level it is more of a distribution-type scenario,” Cenci said. Eric Stevick: 425-3393446; stevick@heraldnet. com.

Measures: Some money would be spent on technology From Page A1

Edmonds The Edmonds School District, with 20,468 students, is asking voters to approve a $59 million capital and technology levy. Some $32.4 million would be for technology improvements. That includes expanding a pilot program providing Chromebook computers to students in third through 12th grade. “It allows us to put these devices into student’s hands faster,” said Stewart Mhyre, the district’s executive director of business and operations. Money also would be spent to replace computer labs, teacher laptops, cameras and sound systems. The levy would pay for $26 million in capital projects, including replacing roofs on 10 buildings. Upgrades to outdoor facilities are planned, such as remaking the baseball field

at Edmonds-Woodway High School. The distance from home plate to the outfield fence is only 285 feet, when it should be at least 350 feet, Mhyre said. The field would be reconfigured and synthetic turf would be installed. Other projects include replacing sports fields at Lynnwood High School and removing construction debris buried at Cedar Valley Elementary School. The tax rate for the fouryear levy is expected to be between 56 and 59 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, or about $177 a year for the owner of a $300,000 home.

Mukilteo The 15,149-student Mukilteo School District is asking voters to extend a capital levy for another six years. It would raise about $20 million. The money typically is used to pay for unexpected

projects such as roof replacements, plumbing repairs and refurbishing pavement, said school district spokesman Andy Muntz. “It’s a grab bag of things that come up,” he said. It’s similar to a rainy day fund that people might have to fix the car when the transmission goes out or to make home repairs, Muntz said. The tax rate would remain at its current level: 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for the first year, or $75 for the owner of a $300,000 home.

Arlington The Arlington School District is seeking nearly $57 million over the next four years. The tax rate would be $3.56 per $1,000 assessed property value, about $1,068 on a $300,000 home. Among the programs supported by levy dollars are a STEM project at Post Middle School, manufacturing

and construction courses at Arlington High School and the school resource officer. The district serves more than 5,400 students. Voters still are paying off a $54 million bond that built Arlington High School and Presidents and Pioneer elementaries along with renovating other schools. That bond is set to expire in 2020. The rate is $1.50 per $1,000, or about $450 a year on a $300,000 home.

Stanwood-Camano The Stanwood-Camano School District, with about 4,200 students, is asking voters for $51.3 million over the next four years. The rate is estimated at $2.28 per $1,000 property value, or about $685 on a $300,000 home. This year, levy dollars pay for full-day kindergarten. Some of the money also goes to special education and school meals. Homeowners in the

district are paying off a previous levy for building and technology upgrades. The rate is set to drop from $1.44 per $1,000 assessed value to 15 cents per $1,000 in 2018. Until 2018, the combined rate for the existing and proposed levies would be $3.72 per $1,000 assessed value. That’s $1,116 on a $300,000 home. The district also is looking into building a new high school and might seek voter approval in 2017 for a bond to do so.

Lakewood The Lakewood School District is putting two levies in front of voters, one for operations and the other for technology and maintenance. The district has about 2,250 students. The operations levy would bring in $26.6 million over the next four years. The tax rate would start at $3.18 per $1,000

assessed value or about $954 on a $300,000 home, the same as the 2016 levy rate. It’s expected to go up to $3.22 per $1,000 by 2020. The four-year technology levy would bring in $2.85 million for upgrading equipment, software, networks, security, training and IT support. It would cost taxpayers 34 cents per $1,000 assessed value in 2017 and 2018, then 35 cents in 2019 and 2020. That’s $102 a year on a $300,000 home for the first two years and $105 for the last two. Homeowners also are paying $2.21 per $1,000 of property value on a $66.8 million bond approved in April 2014 to build a new high school. If both levies were approved, the tax rate combined with the bond would be $5.73 per $1,000 in 2017, totaling $1,719 per year on a $300,000 home. Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

Care: Class teaches people how to find resources to help Beginning next month, Quiroz will lead a new class in Snohomish County for families and caregivers of military personnel and veterans who are living with mental illness. She will be joined by Terry Cobb, a fitness specialist who works with the U.S. Navy. Cobb’s husband committed suicide in 1992. He was 32. Tyrus Cobb served in the U.S. Navy for a decade. He suffered from depression and fell through the cracks, his wife said. She and Quiroz will be teaching Homefront, a sixweek course offered by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The program

is designed to provide support and resources to people who are caring for military personnel and veterans. The national nonprofit, which has a chapter in Snohomish County, launched the program in six states in 2014. It is now taught in 19 states, said Suzanne Robinson, the senior education program manager for NAMI. She and Dr. Teri Brister developed the national Homefront course to address the unique challenges faced by military families.

depression. The classes provide information about where to go for help, how to manage crisis situations and how to advocate for appropriate care. The sessions also include information about how to deal with the stress of caring for someone with a mental illness. The confidential classes are taught by trained family members of military personnel or veterans. “We cram a lot in those six weeks but that lived experience is key,” Robinson said. The facilitators understand the military culture and are dedicated to service personnel, she said. “People find strength in that connection,” she said. Quiroz and Cobb both sought out NAMI because they were caring for relatives with mental illness. Quiroz and her mom took the group’s Family-toFamily class about seven years ago. “It opened our eyes. It helped us to push to get a diagnosis for Brother,” she said. “It wasn’t easier for us to get care, but it really made it easier to navigate

the maze.” She believes her brother turned to synthetic marijuana after a psychotic break in 2010. He injured his infant son while suffering from delusions. Eaves was hospitalized and later convicted of child assault. He turned to drugs to numb his guilt. Eaves was committed to Western State Hospital in late 2014 after his family pushed for treatment for his mental illnesses and his addiction to spice. “We were relieved and everyone felt like finally he was safe. Finally, we know he’s safe,” Quiroz said. “That was not the case.” She and Cobb are grateful for the support they received through NAMI programs. They also know there is more work to be done. “We need to educate our society about mental illness and try to get rid of the stigma so people aren’t ashamed of seeking help for themselves or their family member,” Cobb said.

Governor demands end to standoff By Lisa Baumann Associated Press

SALEM, Ore. – Gov. Kate Brown says she is angry federal authorities have not yet taken action against an armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge in southeastern Oregon and said she plans to bill the U.S. government for what it has been costing Oregon taxpayers. Brown on Wednesday demanded an end to the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by Ammon Bundy and his armed group. She said the occupation has cost Oregon taxpayers nearly half a million dollars so far. She didn’t say what those costs entailed. Brown said residents in the area have been “overlooked and underserved by federal officials’ response thus far.” She called on federal authorities to quickly end the occupation and “hold all of the wrongdoers accountable.” Bundy and his group are demanding that the refuge be turned over to local residents. The group Bundy leads has said repeatedly that local people should control federal lands. Bundy has told reporters the group would leave when there was a plan in place to turn over federal lands to

locals — a common refrain in a decades-long fight over public lands in the West. At a Tuesday news conference, Bundy said “we’re not going anywhere” until his group gets its goals accomplished. Tuesday night, Bundy joined hundreds of area residents at a tense community meeting — listening quietly as many loudly chanted at him to “go.” Bundy, who has been trying to drum up support for his cause, didn’t speak at the meeting in Burns, Oregon, where residents

discussed the armed occupation which began earlier this month. Some of the several hundred community members spoke to Bundy directly. One woman thanked him for raising awareness around issues of public lands, but told him it’s time to go home to his family. “Ammon, you need to go home to your family; thank you,” said Jennifer Williams. “I’ve heard so many things I didn’t know before. Now I’m aware.” Other speakers were and at times angry and emotional in

comments directed at the armed group as well as at local and federal government officials, in part for not doing more to end the occupation. Harney County Judge Steve Grasty took the microphone over to where Bundy sat in the bleachers and told Bundy he’d drive him wherever he wanted to go, as far as Utah. Bundy and his small posse left after the meeting without incident. Rallies also were held in Portland and Eugene and in Boise, Idaho, on Tuesday, with hundreds of people calling for Bundy to end the occupation and pointing out that federal management allows all kinds of people to enjoy public lands. Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward reiterated in a statement before the Burns meeting that law enforcement wants the armed group to vacate the refuge. He said police have arrested two men affiliated with the group and included a new report that Duane Kirkland of Hamilton, Montana, was stopped and arrested Thursday on a felon in possession of a firearm charge. Police arrested Kenneth Medenbach, of La Pine, in Burns on Friday for unauthorized use of a vehicle authorities say was taken illegally from the refuge.

Native culture joins curriculum By Kera Wanielista Skagit Valley Herald

MOUNT VERNON — Though a channel divides the town of La Conner from the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community reservation, the two cultures are intertwined in Michael Carrigan’s shop class at La Conner High School. His file cabinets are full of traditional Native American imagery — pictures of salmon, orcas and ravens. In a heartbeat, Carrigan can pull out studentmade tools and drums. For their final projects, students carve totem poles that tell their own stories. “It’s good for keeping some of the skills alive,” Carrigan said. “It generates an awareness, which creates a respect for other cultures.” In La Conner schools, the cultural collaboration between the district and the tribe is a way of life. “The Swinomish tribe and La Conner schools have worked together for a very long time,” said Peg Seeling, who is the district’s director of teaching and learning, as well as its director of assessment. “It’s amazing how much history they have together.” Thanks to a newly modified state law, school districts throughout the state are figuring out how to be more like La Conner. Passed during the 2015 legislative session, the law requires schools to incorporate a statecreated curriculum, called Since Time Immemorial, to enhance what students learn about Washington’s 29 federally recognized tribes. In Carrigan’s classroom, junior Nakesha Edwards, 16, carves a piece of cedar into what will soon become a bird. “It relaxes me,” she said. Carving is a skill Edwards is refining in the classroom, but it’s an art she learned from her uncle, Swinomish Sen.Kevin Paul, who has taught classes with Carrigan for more than a decade. “I want to share the gift of the knowledge that was handed down to me,” Paul said. Before coming to La Conner, Edwards said lessons about her culture weren’t something she was taught. “People should learn about our ways,” Edwards said. “But they should learn about different ways as well. Come in with an open mind.” The curriculum is intended to create more opportunities for children throughout the state to

Charter school fix passes Senate OLYMPIA — The Washington Senate moved quickly Wednesday to pass a bill that seeks a legal fix to the state’s charter schools in light of a state Supreme Court ruling that found the system unconstitutional. The chamber passed Senate Bill 6194 on a 27-20 vote, and the measure now heads to the House. The bill mirrors the voterapproved 2012 initiative that created charter schools, with a change in the way the schools are financed. The bill would fund charter schools through the state’s Opportunity Pathways Account, which has revenue from the state lottery. The charter system previously received money from the same place as traditional public schools, but the Supreme Court ruled that unconstitutional last fall.

Raising smoking age A new poll says legislation that would raise Washington’s smoking age to 21 has more support than keeping the legal age to buy tobacco at 18. A survey by independent pollster Stuart Elway released Wednesday says 65 percent of voters back hiking the smoking age to 21, while 35 percent oppose a potential raise. Legislation to boost the smoking age has a hearing in the House on Wednesday.

Seattle: Parking lots for homeless to open Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced an emergency order that will open up two parking lots to homeless people living inside their vehicles. Murray’s office said Tuesday the order seeks to open lots in Ballard and Delridge to accommodate up to 50 vehicles. The proposal will go before the City Council. The order, which also includes case management services for residents, comes after Murray declared a state of emergency of homelessness in November.

learn about Native American history and how it has helped shape Washington. “The intention of the curriculum is to benefit all kids in public education,” said Michael Vendiola, program supervisor for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Office Of Native Education. “This is not about focusing only on one particular student group. It’s filling in some of the missing information about the tribal community to the Washington state story.” Vendiola, a member of the Swinomish tribe, said he’s always had a strong connection to his culture through his tribe. He didn’t attend La Conner schools, and the schools he attended didn’t teach his culture at the same level as his tribe. “It was a minimum,” he said. “And it was presented in a past tense, as if myself, as a person who identified as a Native American, didn’t really exist in the current society. It was about looking at the past and more of like an anthropological look at how our people lived a long time ago.” That perspective does a disservice to all students, Vendiola said.

“It leaves a tremendous hole in the story of what makes us Washington state,” he said. “That’s what we feel is really important about implementing this curriculum is that it tells a broader story.” The Since Time Immemorial curriculum addresses sovereignty, treaties and court rulings. They are topics tribes and neighboring communities deal with every day. “The typical U.S. history book does not adequately or appropriately cover Native American culture,” Seeling said. “One-third of our kids are Native. We want to do it right.” Paul agreed. “Having this curriculum in place, (students) will have a different view of what an Indian is and where they come from,” he said. The curriculum is free to school districts and available online. The districts are encouraged to adapt it to best fit their schools, Vendiola said. “I would say folks are adopting it in innovative ways,” he said. It is meant to enhance lessons already taught in fourth-, seventh- and 11th-grade social studies classes, but can be expanded to fit all grades.

Districts are also encouraged to adapt the curriculum to their local tribes, K.C. Knudson, executive director of teaching and learning for the Burlington-Edison School District, said is important for deeper understanding. “Some of the most egregious errors that I think we made were not valuing our local tribes as resources,” he said. “Here we are with kids in our classrooms that are living, breathing resources, with family members at home that are also living, breathing resources.” The Burlington-Edison School District hopes to include the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe and the Swinomish tribe in further development of the curriculum, Knudson said. “Our kids, unlike La Conner, have less direct exposure (to tribal culture),” he said. “I feel like that almost makes the work more pressing here, so that we understand our neighbors and the richness of the whole Skagit Valley.” All 29 federally-recognized tribes in the state have endorsed the state-created curriculum, Vendiola said.

The U.S. Army is planning to test artillery at Joint Base Lewis-McChord despite objections from some nearby residents. The News-Tribune reported that the JBLM will hold the three-day test at a firing range east of I-5 in March. The noise from the Artillery will be especially noticeable to residents in DuPont, Roy, Yelm and the Nisqually reservation.

Pullman: Planned Parenthood to reopen Planned Parenthood says it will reopen its clinic in Pullman, six months after the facility was damaged by arson. The group said Wednesday that its renovated health center is to reopen to patients Feb. 1 at its same location. Police have said someone threw a flammable object through the window in the early morning hours of Sept. 4, causing a fire.

Oregon: 1 dead, two missing in sinking A crabbing boat hit a jetty on the Oregon coast, killing one fisherman and triggering a search for two others, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday. A fourth man aboard, the vessel’s captain, survived. The Coast guard said the commercial fishing boat sank at about 9 p.m. Tuesday. The search continued into Wednesday. The 40-foot vessel broke apart, leaving a large debris field, it said. From Herald news services

Big shakeup in high school football Wesco, Cascade Conference, Northwest Conference combining into classification-specific leagues By David Krueger Herald Writer

It started with a challenge to think “out of the box.” With injuries a concern and competitive balance in some high school football leagues in decline, athletic directors from the Northwest District’s 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A schools met this fall to try to come up with solutions to those problems. The result of their creative thinking? A plan that calls for the creation of what is believed to be the first football-only leagues in the state of Washington. “It’s the first time it’s been discussed and tried,” Everett School District athletic director Robert Polk said. “In the past, an effort has been made to treat football

like all other sports and we made choices years ago to start forming multi-classification leagues. We tried to hold to that, but we see football as being very unique because of the nature of the sport.” The plan calls for combining the football teams from the Northwest Conference, the Cascade Conference and the Wesco 4A and 3A into five classificationspecific leagues. While unofficial, the unnamed leagues are all but a certainty, with the athletic directors hoping to finalize schedules by next month. “Everyone’s willing to work together to make sure this works

for everybody that we represent,” Sultan athletic director Scott Sifferman said. “I think District 1, as a whole, we’re thinking out of the box.” The Northwest District — which includes Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom and Island counties — is awaiting the final classification numbers from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) before putting the finishing touches on the agreement. A school’s classification is based on its enrollment, with 4A schools being the largest, followed by 3A, 2A, etc. The leagues involved will remain in their current formats for all other sports. “I think when we were sitting around the table the onus was,

listen, if we keep matching up 1As against big 2As, football is going to go away at a lot of places,” Archbishop Murphy athletic director Erick Streelman said. “It’s not going to be competitive. We don’t want anyone to get beat up. We don’t want people to not have a competitive schedule. “All the people that were at the initial meeting, there wasn’t anybody in the room who said, ‘This is a terrible idea. Let’s scrap this.’ It was, ‘This is a good idea. Let’s see how we can make this work.’” Under the plan, all of Snohomish County’s football leagues will undergo at least a slight change in membership. In 3A, the Wesco North will add current Northwest Conference teams Ferndale and Squalicum (which moves up to 3A next fall) to go along with Oak

Harbor, Stanwood, Arlington, Marysville Getchell and Marysville Pilchuck. The Wesco 3A South adds Everett and Snohomish — one of which will be in the Wesco 3A North for every other sport — to a group that already includes Edmonds-Woodway, Lynnwood, Meadowdale, Shorecrest and Shorewood. The 2A league will be made up of Anacortes, Archbishop Murphy, Bellingham, Blaine, Burlington-Edison, Cedarcrest, Granite Falls, Lakewood, Lynden, Mountlake Terrace, Sedro-Woolley and Sehome. The new league figures to be a powerhouse — its members have claimed seven of the past 10 Class 2A state See FOOTBALL, Page C6

Ashley Alter scores 21 points as the Spartans earn a 68-41 Wesco 3A North win. By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

STANWOOD — In the game’s opening minutes, a 12-0 scoring burst gave the Stanwood girls basketball team a big early lead against visiting Marysville Getchell. Another 12-0 Stanwood run to start the second half broke the game wide open. The young Spartans — six sophomores and a freshman played against the Chargers — were very good in other stretches, but those two scoring strings were the big difference in a 68-41 Wesco 3A North victory over Marysville Getchell on Wednesday night. The outcome leaves both teams 3-1 in the 3A North, a game behind league-leading Arlington. Sophomore forward Ashley Alter led the way for Stanwood, scoring 21 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the field with a 3-pointer. Indeed, it was Alter who jump-started the Spartan offense at the game’s outset, scoring her team’s first three baskets with layins to give Stanwood a lead it never lost. Then, six seconds into the third period Alter dropped in her 3-pointer from the right baseline, sparking the team’s second 12-point flurry. In that burst the Spartans got two 3-pointers, an offensive putback and four free throws, all in less than 90 seconds, to turn a 29-15 halftime margin into a 41-15 lead. From there the final outcome was never in question. See SPARTANS, Page C2

Andrews scores 33, UW improves to 5-1 in Pac-12 play with victory By Tim Booth Associated Press

SEATTLE — The next step for the young Washington Huskies is to figure out how to make the final minutes less dramatic. At least for coach Lorenzo Romar, the Huskies are finding ways to still pull out victories even if it’s meant blowing a late lead in the process. “Now we have to get to a point where if we’re able to get a lead to sustain it and increase the lead instead of giving it up,” Romar said. “That’s another part of progress that we have to be able to do.” Andrew Andrews scored 25 of his 33 points in the second half, Marquese Chriss added 17 points, and Washington stayed on top of the Pac-12 Conference standings with a 95-83 win over Colorado on Wednesday night. The Huskies (13-5, 5-1) used a big first half run to

take control and built a large enough lead early in the second half to hold off Colorado’s furious late charge. Washington led by 14 at halftime and pushed it to 22 early in the second half as Andrews, the Pac-12 leader in scoring, got going. Colorado cut the lead to 10 with less than 4 minutes remaining and pulled within 87-80 on George King’s basket with 1:32 left, but that was as close at the Buffaloes would get. “We kind of took our foot off the pedal there, let them hit some 3s, get a couple of offensive rebounds ... once again this is all just pieces to the puzzle we’ve got to keep adding to,” Andrews said. “We came out, gave great effort and glad we came out with the win.” Dejounte Murray also scored 17 points for Washington and Malik Dime had 10 points, six rebounds and seven blocked shots off the bench as the Huskies moved a half-game ahead

of USC for the top spot in the conference. Washington has already matched the amount of conference wins it had last season. Dominique Collier led Colorado (14-5, 3-3) with a career-high 21 points and Josh Scott added 18 points after being held to three points in the first half. King also scored 18 for the Buffaloes, who had won three of four. “They whipped us,” Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. “They deserved to win this game. They outplayed us. Really disappointing but I credit Washington.” Washington used an 18-5 spurt midway through the first half to take the lead and pushed the advantage to as many as 15 late in the half. It was an energetic first half from the Huskies that featured three lob dunks and 60-percent shooting. The

he O’Laughlin family brings its Washington Sportsmen’s Show to the state fair events center in Puyallup once again, like an old sweater that might be slightly worn in spots but remains warm, friendly and comfortable.

The dates are Jan. 27-31; admission is $12 for adults, $5 for juniors 6-16, and free for children 5 and under. An $18 two-day pass is also available and for information on discounts and purchasing tickets online, go to www.thesportshows.com.

An addition is the Bi-Mart $1 million ammo sale, offering a chance to stock up and save while supplies last, along with deals on scopes and other equipment. The show offers over 150 hours of free seminars in a range of venues: fishing theater, hunting theater, fly tying theater and outdoor fly casting pond, among others. Jeff Boyer at the Lowrance Electronics Center Presents “Understanding Your Fish Finder For More Fish.” Beginning anglers and experts alike should enjoy a visit to the Yakima Bait Indoor River, where big names in the fishing game demonstrate techniques for catching everything from sockeye to walleye.

PICK OF THE WEEK | See the eagles

Outdoor calendar

Just two weekends left to take advantage of free guided walks on the upper Skagit River to see arguably the largest concentration of bald eagles in the country, outside of Alaska. The feast offered by spawned-out salmon carcasses along the river draws dozens of the big birds during the winter from their summer habitat in Canada and Alaska, but they won’t be here much longer. The U.S. Forest Service and volunteers count the visiting eagle population each Wednesday, on different sections of the river, and publish the findings on the Skagit Eagle Watchers website (skagiteaglewatchers.wordpress.com). The Jan. 13 count — the last one for this winter — showed 13 birds from Marblemount to Newhalem; 30 birds from Rockport to Marble-

Box 930, Everett, Wash.). The deadline is noon Monday.

One of the most popular venues at the show is always the Kids Free Trout Pond, offering youngsters the opportunity to catch and/or release two rainbow trout. The pond is stocked with a whole bunch of nice trout, all gear is furnished, including take-home bags, and Fishing club members are on hand to help out. Make like one of the Earp brothers or Bat Masterson at the “Cowboy Fast Draw” attraction. Shooting is safe and supervised, and prizes are offered at the indoor target range, using frontier-style Colt six-guns with vintage holsters and shooting special wax bullets. Supervision is provided by “Quick Cal” Eilrich, a 17-time Cowboy Fast Draw Association World Champion, along with association officials and NRA-certified instructors from the Tacoma Sportsmen’s Club. Check out the ten largest bull elk ever taken in Washington, along with other top scoring trophies at the Northwest Tour of Big Game Animals. And, with substantial prizes on the line, the Head and Horns competition attracts upwards of 200 heads, horns and horn/antler sheds brought in by showgoers. The entries are measured and scored by Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young representatives at no charge. Prizes are awarded for all three methods of harvest: rifle, archery and black powder. The expert cooks at the Camp Cooking Tent have been at it for a while, whipping up enough tasty stuff to feed the state of Rhode Island, and they’re getting better every year.

Following are the appropriate tides: Jan. 21, 4:49 p.m., minus 0.4 feet; Jan. 22, 5:35 p.m., minus 0.7 feet; Jan. 23, 6:16 p.m., minus 0.8 feet; Jan. 24, 6:54 p.m., minus 0.7 feet; Jan. 25, 7:31 p.m., minus 0.4 feet; Jan. 26, 8:05 p.m., 0.0 feet; Jan. 27, 8:39 p.m., plus 0.5 feet.

Shrimp opener Recreational spot shrimp fishing will open May 14, one week later than usual, because of extremely low tides expected on the first Saturday in May — the traditional shrimp opener. Shellfish biologist Mark O’Toole, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said there will not be another extreme low tide on the first Saturday in May until 2021. WDFW is announcing the change now, to give shrimpers time to adjust their plans, O’Toole said. Most areas of Puget Sound are expected to produce similar results on this opener as was the case last year.

“(Alter) is getting her little jump shot down,” said Stanwood coach Dennis Kloke. Against the Chargers, he went on, “(everyone) saw the scoring, but I saw the defense. She’d been getting beat repetitively on the baseline, be it (man-toman defense) or be it zone, but not once tonight. And from a coaching standpoint that’s big because I know she can score.” But if Alter had the scoring touch against the Chargers, it was forward Haley Strowbridge who gave the team a verbal lift. Strowbridge, one of two Spartan seniors, spoke up in the halftime locker room, urging her teammates not to let up in the second half. “Honestly, coaches can motivate and inspire, but it actually takes a leader on the court to complete the whole thing,” Kloke

said. “The kids really respect Haley. She is really a competitor and she can verbalize. When you can talk the walk it means a lot more, and that’s where Haley is.” Wednesday’s game was the first for Stanwood since a 68-50 loss to Arlington on Friday night, and Kloke was curious to see how his players would respond. He had no need to worry, though, as Stanwood allowed the Chargers only one lead at 2-0. Alter finished the first period with eight points, Strowbridge had five and guard Kylie Wright scored with a jump shot at the buzzer as the Spartans seized an 18-5 lead. Stanwood’s best period was the third with junior Ashley Bierer scoring six points, and the trio of Alter, Strowbridge and sophomore Jillian Heichel each scoring five points. Marysville Getchell was led by the 13 points of junior guard Gabrielle Grandbois, with junior post Carley Wika chipping in 10 points.

Tips hang on to beat Kamloops 2-1 Herald Staff KAMLOOPS, B.C. — In what many around the WHL believe could be a preview of a potential playoff series, the Everett Silvertips gutted out a 2-1 victory over the Kamloops Blazers before 4,380 fans at the Sandman Center Wednesday. Nursing the one-goal lead inside the final minute, Everett goaltender Carter Hart and the Tips defense withstood a 6-on-4 situation for the final 42 seconds when Dawson Leedahl was assessed a penalty and the

Blazers pulled goaltender Connor Ingram. Hart allowed a goal on Kamloops’ first shot of the game and saved the next 33 — the final 17 of which came in the third period. The U.S. Division-leading Tips (28-12-2-2, 60 points) increased their division lead back to seven points over idle Seattle. Everett has now earned a point in 11 straight games (9-0-2-0) and has won 10 straight over the Blazers (22-16-4-3, 51 points). Using the WHL’s playoff system, the Tips and Blazers would play one another in the first

round if the season ended today. Everett’s Matt Fonteyne broke a 1-1 deadlock at 3:43 in the third. He crashed toward the net only to see his shot hit the post and sit in the crease. However, two Kamloops defensemen converged and inadvertently knocked the puck into the net for an own goal to give the Tips their first lead. That was all it took as the Tips clamped down defensively yet again despite being outshot 17-6 in the final stanza. Like the teams’ first meeting — a 4-3 overtime victory for Everett — the Blazers took an

early lead when Jake Kryski found Quinn Benjafield in the slot, and Benjafield beat Hart for the 1-0 advantage at 2:47 in the first. The Tips answered at 10:15 when Graham Millar, a native of nearby Penticton, walked in from the left side of the goal and fired past Ingram with an assist to Patrick Bajkov to knot the game at 1-1. The second period was scoreless though Kamloops used two power play chances to outshoot Everett 11-9 in the frame. The Silvertips are in the midst of a four-game road trip that

continues Friday at Edmonton, followed by a game at Memorial Cup host Red Deer on Saturday. The road trip concludes next week Friday at Tri-City. Silvertips 2, Blazers 1 Everett Kamloops

Ivanovic advances at Aussie Open

Rodney agrees to 1-year deal with Padres

By John Pye

The San Diego Union-Tribune

Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Ana Ivanovic was concerned when she heard a loud noise as a spectator fell on some stairs at Rod Laver Arena, an accident that delayed her second-round match for almost a half hour at the Australian Open. The 2008 finalist was leading qualifier Anastasija Sevastova 4-3 in the first set when medical personnel rushed to the woman’s aid in the upper level of the 15,000seat stadium. The players stayed on the court during the break, getting regular updates from tournament officials, before Ivanovic returned to win 6-3, 6-3. “First I felt really bad. I was really shaking, because the sound of the lady falling was really loud,” she said. “I stopped immediately.” Ivanovic said she feared the worst for the spectator, “So I just hope the lady was fine.” “It was actually good that we had to wait a little bit because I was really shaking, because I could imagine and it was not so nice. I hope she’s well.” Tournament organizers said the spectator was treated in the stadium before being taken by stretcher for observation and more treatment. Players regularly have breaks for rain and other reasons during matches, so Ivanovic said she didn’t let the distraction put her off her game. “I was really happy I happened to win that service game, because didn’t have much warmup and had to start serving straight up,” she said. “I was very happy to close that first set.” With No. 2-ranked Simon Halep and No. 7 Venus Williams already out, No. 20 Ivanovic is the most experienced player in her quarter. Third-seeded Garbine Muguruza is in the same half of the draw, and the 2015 Wimbledon finalist moved into the third round for the third straight year at Melbourne Park with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Kirsten Flipkens. Muguruza will next play Barbora Strycova, who beat Vania King 7-6 (5), 6-4. Two-time champion Victoria Azarenka returned from an injury layoff to win the Brisbane International title leading into the Australian Open and continued her winning run with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Danka Kovinic. Japanese qualifier Naomi Osaka beat No. 18 Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-4. On the men’s side, No. 10-seeded John Isner fired 20 aces and 53 winners in a 6-3, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (2) win over Marcel Granollers, No. 23 Gael Monfils beat fellow Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 7-5, 6-4, 6-1 and No. 32 Joao Sousa beat Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 7-5, 3-6 6-1.

Free agent Fernando Rodney has agreed to a one-year, incentive-laden contract with the Padres, who will give the veteran reliever the opportunity to close. The deal is pending a physical. According to a source, Rodney’s base salary for 2016 is $1.6 million. He has a club option for 2017 worth $2 million against a $400,000 buyout. The deal includes $5 million in annual incentives that also escalate the option. If Rodney reaches all his performance bonuses in the first year, the option would be worth $7 million, with the $5 million in available incentives rolling over. Rodney’s total earnings over two years can go as high as $18.6 million. If the option is declined, he is guaranteed $2 million plus whatever incentives he makes in 2016. Rodney, who turns 39 in March, will join the Padres’ staff as its only member with extensive experience pitching the ninth inning. Over 13 seasons with the Tigers, Angels, Rays, Mariners and Cubs, he has a 3.71 ERA and 236 saves.

Jordan Morris, shown playing for the United States in a CONCACAF Olympic qualifying match against Canada in October, 2015, is expected to join the Sounders Thursday.

Morris expected to join Sounders today By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

The Seattle Sounders have called a press conference to share a “significant club announcement” at 11 a.m. Thursday. The team gave no indication of the topic, but it is widely assumed to be the official welcome for U.S. national team forward Jordan Morris. The press conference was announced one day after German club Werder Bremen acknowledged that Morris intends to begin his professional career in the United States. Sounders’ top brass will be in attendance: owner Adrian Hanauer, general manager Garth Lagerwey, coach Sigi Schmid and sporting director Chris Henderson. The

press conference will be held at the club’s downtown Seattle offices, however the event is not open to the general public. Morris is a native of Mercer Island who played with the Sounders FC Academy and Stanford University. Seattle has long acknowledged that it has offered him the largest homegrown-player contract in the history of Major League Soccer. Also Wednesday, Seattle confirmed the signing of midfielder Michael Farfan, a 27-year-old veteran of four MLS seasons. “Michael is a technical player with good feet who I’ve followed for a while now,” Lagerwey said in a club release. “We were interested in signing Michael last year after having him in camp, so we’re happy he was available to add to our roster now.”

After playing collegiately at Cal State Fullerton and North Carolina, Farfan made his MLS debut in 2011 with Philadelphia. He appeared in 82 games over three seasons there and scored four goals. He played one game with Crus Azul of Mexico’s Liga MX in 2014. He spent last season with DC United, recording one assist over 17 appearances. “We’re excited to add an experienced and versatile player like Michael to our roster ahead of our upcoming preseason camp,” Schmid said in the release. “We think Michael can come in and provide experience, depth and competitiveness to our midfield.” The Sounders will begin training camp Friday by reporting for physicals at Starfire Sports in Tukwila.

Top-ranked Spieth, No. 3 McIlroy collide in Abu Dhabi Associated Press ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The latest stop for Jordan Spieth on his tour of the golfing world is the Middle East and an eagerly anticipated head to head with Rory McIlroy at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship this week. It seems that two of the sport’s biggest names have clashed before the

first tee shot has even been struck. For some pre-tournament publicity, Spieth and McIlroy were among those taking part in a “Rider Cup” challenge that included riding motorized golf scooters — so-called GolfBoards — along a fairway on a local course in the gulf emirate. “It was quite competitive,” McIlroy said with a smile. “Actually, Jordan nearly took me out. We

collided halfway down the fairway — thankfully I didn’t fall off.” On Thursday, it will be McIlroy trying to knock the top-ranked Spieth out of his stride. Fresh off an eight-stroke win in Hawaii on his 2016 debut that backed up his sensational 2015, Spieth will make his first appearance in a regular European Tour event when he joins McIlroy and Rickie Fowler in a stellar

three-ball for the first two rounds at Abu Dhabi Golf Club. For No. 3-ranked McIlroy, it will be a first start of the year and a chance to see his biggest rival up close. “I don’t play the game on (laying down) markers at all,” McIlroy said. “I want to play my best, and I don’t have to just beat Jordan Spieth this week. I have to beat another 142 guys.”

The Huskies lead was still 20 when Colorado’s first charge started. With Andrews getting a rest, Colorado scored eight straight to pull to 81-69 with 6:35 to go on Josh Fortune’s 3-pointer and was trimmed to 83-73 on Tory Miller’s free throw with 3:58 remaining. Washington appeared to take a 14-point lead on Chriss’ dunk with 2:27 to go but it was waved off for being after the shot clock had expired. Colorado scored five straight to get within seven, but Andrews made eight free throws in the final 90 seconds as the Huskies held on.

Pats’ Brady rarely wins in Denver

Panthers struggled to close out games By Steve Reed

By Mark Maske

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers problem hasn’t been building big leads this season, it has been keeping them. Four times the Panthers have led by 17 points or more in the second half, only to watch an opponent storm back. All four games the Panthers have escaped with wins, but far too often it has been too close for comfort. Head coach Ron Rivera said he’s “concerned” about his team’s struggles closing out games, but refused to dwell on it as the Panthers stepped up preparations for Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Arizona Cardinals. “I’ll be honest, I get it, I understand,” Rivera said after the Panthers nearly squandered a 31-point halftime lead last weekend but held on to beat the Seattle Seahawks 31-24 in the divisional playoffs. “But, shoot, we won those football games and look at who we played against. If this was someone that was 2-14 that did this to us, then I’d be really concerned. But it wasn’t. Am I concerned? Yeah. But are these things correctable and fixable? Most certainly. Let’s stay focused on what we did — we won the football game.” Sunday wasn’t the first time the Panthers have flirted with an epic collapse. Carolina surrendered a 17-point fourth quarter lead in Week 8 to the Indianapolis Colts, falling behind by a field goal in overtime before rallying to win 29-26. The following week against Green Bay a 23-point fourth quarter lead dwindled to eight before Thomas Davis sealed the win with a pick in the end zone in the final two minutes. And in December Carolina let an entire 28-point lead slip away before Cam Newton led a late drive to set up the winning field goal as time expired. Rivera said the common denominator in those four games was facing a top-tier quarterback, referring to Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck and Eli Manning. “When you get a big lead like that, one of the things is you have to learn to not relax,” Rivera said. “You have to learn to continue to attack.” Warren Moon knows how difficult it can be to maintain a huge lead. He was the quarterback for the Houston Oilers when they squandered a 32-point lead and lost 41-38 to the Buffalo Bills in the 1992 NFL playoffs. Moon said keeping a lead “shouldn’t be as difficult as teams make it,” but that too often a big lead forces an aggressive team into a more conservative approach — on offense and defense. Then teams tend to start looking at the clock, hoping to hurry it along. Moon said that is “a real death sign.” Moon worked as a broadcaster at Sunday’s Seahawks-Panthers game and noticed Carolina got away from what they were doing early in the game, particularly on defense. “I’ve always said that the only thing prevent defenses do is prevent you from winning,” Moon said. “With Carolina, they’re an aggressive team. And when you take that away and start playing zone and giving up room, that is when you start giving up big plays.” The Cardinals have done a much better job of putting teams away after building big leads. But they did surrender a 19-point advantage against Seattle this year before coming back to win 39-32. “As coaches, you tend to guard against the bad things that can happen and you don’t want that to happen, so you’ve just got to keep your foot on the gas,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said.

Rams wide receiver Brian Quick could not hold onto a pass as he is defended by 49ers safety Eric Reid during the regular-season finale for both teams in Santa Clara, California, earlier this month.

NFL’s toughest division? Seahawks fans, NFC West has a new look with Kelly coaching the 49ers and the Rams moving to Los Angeles By Dave Boling The News Tribune

he NFC West: Land of new faces and new places. And probably intensified rivalries, too. In the past week, Chip Kelly was hired as coach of the 49ers, and L.A. became the new home to the Rams. Both developments could have positive effects on the Seattle Seahawks. And if not positive, it should at least be more interesting. Healthy rivalries are good for teams. The 2016 Seahawks could have three strong ones on their hands immediately. Consider: Arizona could win a Super Bowl in a few weeks, having already deposed the Seahawks as division champs. The Niners will have a coach in Kelly who clobbered Pete Carroll in their only college meeting, back when Kelly was at Oregon and Carroll at USC. And the Rams will be energized by a new market and a new fan base — and that’s coming after a season in which they swept the Seahawks while still based in St. Louis. The Seahawks were at their best in the past when pushed by a rugged San Francisco team. Carroll had a worthy antagonist across the sidelines in Jim Harbaugh. This season, the Niners and Harbaugh-replacement Jim Tomsula hardly felt like a threat. Kelly, though, handled an Oregon rise that featured a 47-20 blowout of Carroll’s 2009 Trojans. Although there were none of the querulous exchanges with Kelly that Carroll notably endured with Harbaugh, a 27-point loss is never something easily swallowed at USC.

Carroll has commented that he has long appreciated the innovation of Kelly’s offenses. And in 2010, while still at Oregon, Kelly came up and observed from the sidelines during a practice of Carroll’s first Seahawks team. I watched them chat amiably for quite some time that day. Kelly might look to Carroll again, if not directly, for guidance on navigating the perils of an NFL coaching change. Carroll, too, had trouble in his early NFL experiences. And he seemed to learn from the experiences and prospered in the aftermath. Kelly’s problem in Philadelphia came after he got sideways with the Eagles players and ownership, and, frankly, didn’t win enough games to lubricate that friction. The Niners, meanwhile, had to do something to try to arrest the free-fall that took them from the NFC championship game after the 2013 season to a 5-11 record under Tomsula this season. Kelly, with a 46-7 record at Oregon and a 26-21 mark in three seasons with the Eagles, looked like the best hope the Niners had. At his introductory press conference on Wednesday, Kelly said he was looking forward to “just coaching” rather than dealing with personnel issues. But he is known as a strong-willed personality, and that statement had the sound of a pre-emptive valentine to his new boss, GM Trent Baalke. Kelly is a smart guy. He can learn from his Eagles’ experience. Carroll certainly came to Seattle a different coach than the one who misfired with the Jets and Patriots. On Wednesday, Kelly said he had been in the process of doing “the autopsy” on the

corpse of his work at Philadelphia. So he’s at least salvaged a sense of humor heading into his new job. The Rams move was a foregone conclusion. Sad, definitely, for the core St. Louis fans that continued to support them. From the outside, it seemed as if the alienation of the fan base had been in the works for a while. The atmosphere at their home games in recent seasons was mostly grim. Having gone without the NFL for 20 seasons, the Los Angeles fan base should create a far more compelling homefield advantage. The Seahawks don’t need the Rams to be any harder to beat, as they’ve struggled against them. But it means another West Coast trip on the schedule, and that, alone, is a benefit for the team that annually flies the most miles of any club in the league. “Don’t have to fly to St. Louis every year, that’s a win,” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said. “You don’t have the time change, you don’t have the 10 o’clock games anymore. That’s a win for us.” Carroll, too, saw nothing but positives in the Rams’ move. “For us, I think it’s great; I love that we’re playing in the west, and for all of the California guys (on the team), it’s fun to have a chance to play down there in our division,” he said. The Rams organization will be highly motivated to make a huge splash in a market that only truly embraces winners. Rams officials will be pouring resources and energies into getting this team competitive as quickly as possible. All of which could make the NFC West the toughest division in the NFL as soon as next fall.

So many things seem stacked decidedly in favor of Tom Brady for his 17th career quarterbacking duel with Peyton Manning in Sunday’s AFC title game. Brady is younger. He has been healthier and has had the decidedly better season. And he generally has gotten the better of Manning over the years. But Manning and his Denver Broncos could have one significant advantage over Brady’s New England Patriots: the site of the game. Brady never has fared well in Denver, whether it has been while facing Manning or far less accomplished Broncos’ quarterbacks. Brady has a career record of 2-6 there, including 0-2 in the postseason. Only one of those games came against Manning, a 26-16 defeat to the Broncos in the AFC championship game in January 2014. Brady also has lost games in Denver in which the Broncos were quarterbacked by Brian Griese, Jake Plummer, Kyle Orton and Brock Osweiler. The opposing quarterbacks in Brady’s only two victories in Denver were Danny Kanell and Tim Tebow. “They’ve had some good teams when we’ve played out there,” Brady said in his appearance this week on Boston radio station WEEI, according to the Boston Herald. “I didn’t realize we were 2-6. But their crowd gets into it. They’ve got a good team. Just like this year, the crowd will be into it. They’ll have a great team. We’ve got to just play our best. That’s what it comes down to.” Brady and the Patriots lost to the Osweiler-led Broncos in Denver in November. But Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak went back to Manning as his starter at quarterback for the playoffs, and Manning engineered last Sunday’s triumph at home over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Manning didn’t throw the ball badly in a 21-for-37, 222-yard passing performance that would have looked quite a bit better if his receivers hadn’t been plagued by drops. “We’ve had trouble with both of them,” Belichick said of Osweiler and Manning during a conference call with reporters this week. “So we’ll have to be ready for both guys. I think Denver did a great job Sunday of doing what they had to do. They made the plays on offense, defense and special teams that they needed to make when they needed to make them, and that was the difference. That’s what good teams do and they did it.” Brady’s struggles in Denver perhaps are offset by his career-long success against Manning. Brady has won 11 of their 16 matchups. Manning quite possibly is the greatest regular season quarterback in NFL history, with his record five league most valuable player awards. But Brady is the reigning postseason king, as he seeks a fifth Super Bowl title in tandem with Belichick. “Even though these games have finality to them that some games in the regular season or preseason don’t have, he approaches it the same way,” Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said in a conference call. “I think he’s a good example for our team and we have a lot of guys that follow that lead, a lot of guys on our team that do that as well.” The Patriots lost their final two regular season games. Winning either one of them would have secured the AFC’s top seed and home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs for them. “We’ve had a lot of close games there,” Brady said in this week’s radio interview. “It always comes down to something at the end. We’ve already been out there once this year. I think we learned a lot from that experience and it’s a great defense that we’re playing.”

champions. The schools will be divided into two six-team divisions based on a ranking system devised by the athletic directors to ensure a competitive balance. “I’m guessing Lynden is like No. 1, Sedro-Woolley No. 2 or whatever it might be,” Polk said. “They then divided each division by placing No. 1 to the left, No. 2 to the right. They divided them up so there’s a balance of strong programs versus developing programs in each division.” The 1A league includes Cedar Park Christian-Bothell, King’s, Lynden Christian, Meridian, Mount Baker, Nooksack Valley, South Whidbey and Sultan. The Wesco 4A will remain largely unchanged, with the only modification being Glacier Peak joining the league in place of Snohomish, which drops to 3A for the next classification cycle. The Grizzlies will play with existing 4A members Cascade, Jackson, Kamiak, Lake Stevens, Mariner, Monroe and Mount Vernon. “I think we’re out for the good of the kids and the good of the game,” Streelman said. “That’s what’s driving this decision.

Or if you’re 9-1 and killing everybody. “I think the Northwest Conference has a pretty big division between the top of the 2As and the bottom of the 1As. And the Cascade Conference is in a bit of the same position.” Sultan’s Sifferman said the new leagues should make for better football games. “From Sultan’s point of view, if there’s a 1A league, we wouldn’t play an Archbishop Murphy. But Nooksack Valley, Meridian, Mount Baker are still really strong football programs. ...” he said. “We know it’s not necessarily going to be an easier road, but when you know the schools are a similar size, it helps with motivation. We want to play hard in Weeks 9 and 10 because we want to play in week 11.” Safety was a concern for the athletic directors, who shuttered at the thought of smaller 1A schools continuing to go up against 2A and 3A competition. “We are doing this because we believe the size of the school correlates pretty strongly with the size of the football team,” Polk said. “Overall, I think for the safety of kids, I think it’s a good step in the right direction. Will it definitely address it and fix it? I don’t know. We’ll see. But we’re trying to

take positive steps to try to address the concerns.” When a 1A school plays a 4A school in basketball, “we might get drilled, but we won’t get hurt,” King’s athletic director Rick Skeen said. “But if you play a Bellevue (a 3A team) in football, you might end up with a kid going to the hospital.” Skeen said there initially may have been some holdouts among the 1A schools,

but once it was clear the 2A schools in the Cascade and Northwest conferences were in favor of the plan, the 1A schools decided to go along. “It kind of felt like, where I was sitting, the Wesco and Northwest were the drivers behind this,” Skeen said. “The Northwest Conference — I coached up there for 11 years — and the challenge of football is unique. It’s a 3A/2A/1A league and everyone’s thrown into the same thing. Obviously, in football that’s a different situation. “First, initially, the response was, ‘I don’t know if we like that,’ mainly, because of (travel) distance. But I think as people started to look at it, people started to see the positives in it.” With the Cascade Conference’s 2A schools linking up with the Northwest Conference, the Cascade Conference’s 1A schools had to follow suit or be left with a four-team league, with teams playing each other twice each season. “No coach

wants that,” Skeen said. The new leagues are not without drawbacks. Travel presents a problem, with a team such as Sultan having to drive 90 miles one way for a game at Mount Baker, and Mountlake Terrace traveling 98 miles to Blaine. But athletic directors said football, with just one game a week, lends itself to longer travel better than other sports. “If we have to travel to Lynden, it’s a 1½-hour trip but it’s only once a week on a Friday night,” Murphy’s Streelman said. “There isn’t a huge impact on academics. It’s not like basketball, where you can travel two or three times a week.” The football leagues will be for varsity only, meaning the increased travel won’t affect junior varsity and freshman squads. The new alignments will affect some conference rivalries that have developed over the years — such as the Black and Blue Bowl between Granite Falls and Sultan — but the athletic directors said they hope to continue those games as non-league contests. “Down here, we’re going to find a space for an EverettCascade game and Glacier Peak-Snohomish,” Polk said. “We’re going to make those happen.” The 3A playoff picture will be clearer now that Ferndale — the Northwest Conference’s lone 3A school the past few years — no longer has to factor into the postseason equation based on its league winning percentage. The Wesco 3A North and South each get three playoff berths, with the possibility of a seventh that would be shared between them. If the seventh spot becomes a reality, the fourth-place teams from each conference would play to decide the berth. The 2A playoff format is still to be determined. The Northwest District’s 1A schools have a bi-district agreement with District 2 for

state berths, however, none of the 1A schools in District 2 play football. So the top two teams from the 1A league would advance, with the possibility of a third team moving on every other year. Granite Falls, which landed in the lower part of the 2A classification when the final enrollment numbers were released last week, is appealing in hopes of becoming a 1A school. If that happens, the Tigers would drop to the 1A league. “If there’s (an) odd number (of teams), we have to work together that no school is left standing alone and has to travel east of the mountains for a Week 5 game because there’s no one to play over here,” Sifferman said. “We need to figure out what’s going on with Granite Falls. That decision will determine whether (the 1A league will) have two or three non-conference games. If Granite Falls is in (the 1A league), one of those games we pretty much need to pair up (with a team in the Northwest District 1). If we have an opening, and there’s a 2A school that has an opening, we’d want to line it up if the competition is right.” The athletic directors hope to have the leagues finalized soon after the WIAA meets to hear appeals on Jan. 24-25. The leagues are being proposed for two years, and will be evaluated after the second season. “My understanding, and again I’m not a driver behind this I’m a new kid at the table, I understand that once the WIAA finalizes everything (the league would be created),” Skeen said. “I have a schedule sitting in front of me for a 1A (league). We have things penciled in and planned and playoff agreements and how we would do it. We just have to wait a week or so to know exactly who is 1A, who is 2A. “But I don’t see any way it’s not going to happen at this point.”

Birds, bees and pruning trees Country Living Expo offers more than 175 workshops and classes with experts By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

STANWOOD — The annual Country Living Expo and Cattlemen’s Winterschool is the best one-day DIY convention around. The expo, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 30 at Stanwood High School, offers a choice of 175 workshops and classes along with the chance to hang out with experts on many topics. Those subjects include bees, edible wild plants, mushroom cultivation, curing bacon, saving seeds, fruit tree pruning, bats, soils, growing your own wedding flowers and building a fence or small garden shed. “Our program has grown to include not only rural farmers and cattle producers but also homeowners, backyard farmers and urban apartment dwellers,” said coordinator Joan DeVries in a press release from Washington State University Extension in Snohomish, Island and Skagit counties. The cost of the expo, $75 for adults, might sound hefty at first, but remember that it includes five class sessions, continental

ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES | Terry and Kim Kovel

It’s a fine line in collecting certain historic artifacts T rying to be politically correct in the antiques and collectibles world is becoming more and more difficult. Watch out for endangered species discussions and laws. Are we protecting living elephants by making it illegal to sell any ivory, even carvings or teapot handles, made more than 100 years ago? Watch out for stereotypes. Is it trying to change history to delete vocabulary and cartoonish

figurines from 100 years ago? Unflattering depictions of suffragettes or Shylock are tolerated, but a Confederate flag, a Chinese man with a queue or a black child with an alligator or non-PC word embossed on a bank must be omitted in a “for sale” ad. And which firearms can be legally sold at antiques auctions without special permits? Is a cannon OK? Recently, a life-size iron figure of a woman wearing a painted late-19th-century carnival

costume was sold at auction. She is a shooting-gallery target, part of the history of a past lifestyle. She sold for more than $43,000, even though she had marks from shots and some repairs. Times have changed — no shooting gallery would have a human target, but one from the past is an historic artifact. Q: I have two lions from Bennington Vermont ceramics from the year 1849.

can get it fixed and restored. Is it worth it? A: A lot of fake Bennington has been made. The lions should be seen by an expert to determine if they are the original old Bennington or more recent reproductions. Contact a good auction house or antiques shop. Prices for Bennington have dropped in the past 5 years. It might pay to fix the damaged lion so you can sell them as a pair. A pair is worth more than two singles.

A rosy outlook offered for gardens in 2016 T

here’s no point in letting the politicians have all the fun. I, too, can put together a synopsis of this past year and make predictions for this coming year. Here goes nothing. 2015 was one of the best years on record from a gardener’s perspective. Our spring was warm and dry and most of us were able to get an early start on the season. Granted, the summer ended up being a trifle on the hot side and because of a poor snow pack the previous winter, we were all on a drought alert. But overall, the heat enabled us to grow some killer tomatoes and peppers and I even heard of a few success stories of growing a watermelon.

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER Here’s what’s on tap for 2016. The drought is over. Thankfully, we are getting copious amounts of snow in the mountains and our reservoirs are full so there should be plenty of water to go around for this coming summer. Of course, we still need to be good stewards and conserve it by using lots of

mulch and proper watering techniques. For those of us who failed to do any supplemental watering last summer, there are probably dead shrubs in the garden that need to be removed. I have seen rhodies and emerald greens in many yards that didn’t make it through the summer and if you are unsure what is alive or dead then go with my motto: “When in doubt, pull it out.” The winter was mild. I realize winter isn’t over but so far we have had fairly mild cold spells, meaning it rarely dipped below 20 degrees, so it is safe to say that we will not experience the same kind of death and destruction we endured this past spring from the

previous November freeze that took everything by surprise. My wife’s Ayesha hydrangea, which often freezes to the ground and loses all the flower buds for the next season, still has green tips, which tells me she will get flowers this summer and that is good news for the Smith garden.

I predict that 2016 will be another warm spring with gentle rain falling only between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and never on the weekends. The soils will warm up as if on cue and all of our seeds will germinate 100 percent. There will be no rust, black spot or mildew on our roses, no brown rot on our plums, peaches and cherries and no scab, anthracnose or mildew on our pears and apples. None of our tall perennials, like delphiniums and peonies, will succumb to rain and wind and prostrate themselves on the ground while we are at work. Lilacs will be free of blight, leaf miners and mildew and bloom their little heads off for weeks on end.

Fall webworms, pear slugs and those nasty aphids that appear overnight by the thousands will meet their doom by natural predators like lady bugs, lacewings and birds. Slugs will succumb to lockjaw and not be able to open their mouths and ultimately wither away, never to be seen again. Finally, weeds will uproot themselves and jump into our yard waste bins while we are in the house sipping on a fine merlot. It’s going to be a glorious gardening season and you heard it here first.

What to do before installing a floating floor Practical, esthetic and economical, floating floors are an extremely popular option with many homeowners. You’d like to use this type of flooring in your home? Read on.

JANUARY UPDATE YOUR HOME WITH NEW FLOORS! Choose a good quality-floating floor, especially if you plan on installing it in a busy area.

Quality counts When buying a floating floor, choose a good quality product, especially if you want to put it in a busy area such as a hallway. Damage to a single board could require you to completely remove your floor in order to install just one new plank. Unpack and wait Once you have purchased your flooring, place the boards in the room where they are to be installed. Open the packaging and wait at least three days. The reason? The wood will have time to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the room, making it easier to install. That said, floating floors are not recommended for high humidity areas such as basements.

Flooring

Hardware

Prepare the surface After removing the existing flooring and the baseboards, trim the bottom of the doorframe. Using a saw, remove the equivalent of the thickness of your new floor plus an extra 1/16 inch. Then install the subfloor membrane according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Now you’re ready to install the flooring.

Use a professional renovator if you’re not used to doing this kind of manual work. They have the necessary experience and equipment to install your floating floor properly.

Camden, New Jersey, in 1899. The company became well-known when it introduced the Speedball nib, which made lettering faster, in 1913. It began making linoleum cutters and other accessories for block printing in 1936. The company name was changed to Hunt Manufacturing Co. in 1962.

Rite Museum in Minneapolis. We haven’t seen a commemorative plaque like yours sell. It doesn’t have wide appeal, but it does have historic value for Masons or people who are interested in the building. Bronze plaque prices are determined by size and the fame of the artist. Most sell for $30 to $100. Q: My sister and I have been going through the contents of our parents’ house trying to determine whether to donate, sell or give away things. There are a number of linens from the 1940s and ’50s, antique lace from the early 1900s, a silk nightgown from the 1940s, and baby clothes from the late 1950s to early 1960s. We feel these aren’t items for a garage sale, but wonder if you can tell us how to find someone who purchase these types of items.

A: Old linens are hard to sell. Look for dealers or shops in your area who specialize in vintage clothes and textiles, but don’t expect to get much for them. Usable vintage clothing, like the nightgown or baby clothes, can bring $5 to $100 in a shop- — much less in a garage sale. Tip: A drawer that is stuck can be helped by heat. Remove any nearby drawers, then aim a blow dryer set on medium at the wood. Once the drawer is opened, rub the runners with paraffin or a candle.

Mom’s gifts please only herself

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My mother is generous with gifts to my teenage daughter, but only with gifts she personally likes, rather than gifts my daughter likes. My daughter mainly wants experiences — math camp, music lessons, concerts, etc., but my mom won’t spend money on that even when my daughter asks for it for her birthday or Christmas. My mom says that’s no fun for her. So instead of what my daughter wants, she usually buys her useless, pretty things that end up cluttering her room and closet, like pretty knickknacks, jewelry, purses, and fancy clothes. This is upsetting my daughter more and more as she gets older and is trying to save for college. My daughter has cried when she’s opened up her closet to hundreds of dollars’ worth of clothes she has never worn, and realized they could have paid for the school trip she couldn’t afford. She has tried talking to my mom about it, but my mom’s response is that it’s her money and she can choose to spend it how she wants. My mom acts like we’re ingrates if my daughter asks (or I ask for her) for money for a trip, camp or lessons.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Should she be grateful to get anything, even the wrong thing, or should she assert herself more? Should she say, “No, thank you” to these gifts, accept them grudgingly, or accept them and try to sell them? On the one hand, I think it’s presumptuous for us to tell my mom what to spend her money on, but on the other hand, it’s very hurtful for my daughter’s wishes to be repeatedly disregarded. How do you recommend we handle this? — Anonymous Your mom, actually, is not generous, not by any definition I’d aspire to. She’s giving purely to please herself. (Give her credit for owning that, I suppose.) That said, of course, no gift should ever be assumed or expected — and you’re right that it’s fundamentally presumptuous to tell others how to spend their money.

Combine all these, and here’s where I end up: Sell it. Every sequin of it for every cent it can fetch. Since gift-giving is, presumably, about the joy of bringing joy to another, there’s room for a recipient (or her agent, aka, you) to indicate politely what she likes. Only a purist would be comfortable with the idea of letting someone spend bundles on gifts that are painful to receive. But since your mom has employed a purist’s technicalities to promote her own interests over your daughter’s, there doesn’t appear to be any practical purpose in trying to socially re-engineer her giving habits. Fortunately, the “It’s my money” rule has a corresponding rule: “Once given, a gift is mine to use as I please.” Not only should your daughter cash these gifts in, but she also needn’t feel one bit of guilt. As for the should-she-be-grateful question, the answer is, people should be grateful when others think of them, even if the result is off-target. In this case, your mother is thinking only of herself, so while your daughter does need to mind her manners and say thank you, she can be forgiven for not feeling grateful for these uniquely thoughtless gifts.

Couple’s future murky after man has second thoughts Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Jimmy,” and I have been together for two years. After about four months, out of necessity we moved in together and it was great. Not long afterward I got a job two hours away. Since I moved, we get to see each other only every two or three weeks. The separation has been tough, but when we’re together, everything is perfect and all is right with the world. I feel we were fated to be together. Before the move, Jimmy and I often talked about marriage, and although I am not crazy about it, I knew it meant a lot to him, so I proposed (ring and all). He initially said yes, then sort of asked me to take back my proposal. Since then, he has been avoiding all discussions about our future, and I don’t know what to do. I’m willing to quit my job and go back to be with him, but I’m scared he’s going to get cold feet. Obviously, I’m hopelessly in love with him, but now I’m feeling lost and confused. — Hours Apart In The South Dear Hours Apart: Please allow me to offer some clarity. Do not quit your job because if you do, you may find yourself not only without a job but also without a place to stay. When someone (man or woman) asks that a proposal be rescinded, it usually means the person feels he or she may have jumped the gun by saying yes. Jimmy is avoiding all discussion about your future because he doesn’t want one, and he’s afraid to say it directly because he knows it will hurt your feelings. For your own sake, have an honest conversation with him about this. It may be painful, but it will be RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY better than living in limbo the way you are. As the saying goes, “When a door closes, another one opens.” Dear Abby: Last Friday was Grandparents’ Day at my kids’ preschool. My parents attended and were well-behaved for the most part, but then my mother made a faux pas. She asked one of the directors when her baby was due. Well, Abby, the woman isn’t pregnant. When I picked up my kids, I had no idea what had happened. The director was having a conversation with one of the teachers when I walked in, so as usual I smiled and waved as I walked by. I did sense something was off when she didn’t respond, but I figured she was preoccupied. When we met my parents for dinner, my mother told me what happened. I am mortified. I’ll be seeing this woman for the next couple of years. What, if anything, do I say to her? — Horrified In Michigan Dear Horrified: You did nothing wrong, so stop avoiding the woman and behave as you usually do. IF you notice that she treats you differently, all you should say is: “I heard what happened with my mother, and I’d like to apologize for her behavior. As you can see, she sometimes puts her foot in her mouth, but we love her anyway.” Universal Uclick

Handler brings edgy style to docuseries By Amy Kaufman Los Angeles Times

All it takes is two sips, and then she’s done. She lies back on a mat and closes her eyes, listening to the shaman’s hypnotic chanting. There’s a bucket next to her, in case she starts vomiting. But she doesn’t. She isn’t even nauseous. In fact, she barely feels anything at all. Chelsea Handler has traveled all the way to Peru to get high on ayahuasca, and it isn’t working. “I was feeling buzzing, and then it just went out the window,” she tells friends Jenny Mollen and Daniel Maurio, who have also consumed the Amazonian plant brew. “I feel like I had too much,” Maurio replies, looking sweaty and scared. “It’s just the initial, then you’ll be OK — just breathe it in,” Handler says, before muttering to herself, “I could easily operate a 747 right now.” Somehow it’s not entirely surprising that Handler was immune to the effects of the hallucinogen. There’s a toughness to her that even substances seem to have a difficult time permeating. In high school, after doing mushrooms or acid with her friends, she was always selected as the designated

driver. In her five books, she talks about how much and how often she drinks alcohol. “I just have a high tolerance for things. But I’m sure now that I’ve said that, someone’s gonna see me face down in the lobby of a hotel,” she says, sitting in her bedroom months after her trek to South America. Handler decided to experiment with ayahuasca as part of her new docuseries, “Chelsea Does,” which will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, a day before it launches on Netflix on Saturday. In each of the series’ four episodes, Handler explores a different topic: There’s one about race

and prejudice, in which she visits an old Southern plantation and sits down with prominent leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton and former Israeli President Shimon Peres. In one on marriage, she goes on a painfully awkward series of blind dates and then grills an ex-boyfriend. She explores technology by traveling to Silicon Valley to pitch her own app and learn what streaming is from Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings. And of course there are drugs as she tries mixing alcohol with Ambien and also invites her friends over for a marijuana-infused dinner. The series, Handler

says, is meant to serve as a tonal introduction for her new late-night talk show, which will debut in May on Netflix, where it will be streaming three times a week in May. After eight years on E!, she quit her show “Chelsea Lately” in 2014. She loudly declared that she was ready to distance herself from the Kardashian-affiliated cable network, telling Howard Stern that she felt she was “getting dumber” with each episode she filmed. It wasn’t long before she’d teamed with Netflix. It seemed a logical move for Handler, who has always had a reputation for pushing boundaries. She’s the first major

star to experiment with the platform on a streaming service, which has the potential to reach far more viewers than the 600,000 who typically tuned in during her final season on E! Handler clearly aspires to be taken seriously, though that desire sometimes seems at odds with her reputation. Even though she publicly trashes many celebrities, she also pals around with them, counting Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sandra Bullock among her closest friends. Tabloids reported that her recent 40th birthday party — attended by a handful of A-listers — was so raucous that neighbors called the police to complain. “I know what people think of me. I’m not an idiot. I’m sure they think I drink too much,” she says. “People never show you the ugly side of things. . But I can be myself and have my same personality and explore richer or more interesting topics. I want these docs to inform viewers of the direction I’m going in with my show. Imagine Google but as a TV show with me as your host — and swearing. You’re finding out information in a cool way that’s fast, so you don’t feel like you’re watching ‘60 Minutes.’”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2016. There are 345 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Jan. 21, 1976, British Airways and Air France inaugurated scheduled passenger service on the supersonic Concorde jet. On this date: In 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis XVI, condemned for treason, was executed on the guillotine. In 1908, New York City’s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public establishments (the measure was vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr., but not before one woman, Katie Mulcahey, was jailed overnight for refusing to pay a fine). In 1915, the first Kiwanis Club, dedicated to community service, was founded in Detroit. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders. In 1994, a jury in Manassas, Virginia, found Lorena Bobbitt not guilty by reason of temporary insanity of maliciously wounding her husband John, whom she’d accused of sexually assaulting her.

So he returns home to California, where he works as a rodeo clown and confronts his past. 10 p.m., FX. From Herald news services

Rowley, who previously collaborated on Showtime’s climate change documentary series “Years of Living Dangerously.” The series will air in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, but Lear, long associated with liberal politics, insists it is not advancing any particular agenda. “I never think of myself as coming at it from any place but love of America,” he told The Times. “I’m not there to doubt anybody’s patriotism and I don’t think I have to wear a button to prove I’m an American and I care. This kind of involvement says much more than that button.” The series will be made available at a later date on Hulu, Amazon and Sony Vue, widening its reach beyond the Epix subscriber base, Greenberg said.
