Complex lacked alarms

Fewer planes, fewer jobs A Boeing spokesman says some workers will be shifted into other roles as production rates for its 747 and 777 lines are reduced.

EVERETT — The Bluffs apartments, the site of the fatal fire on New Year’s Eve, had no fire alarms, a violation of city codes.

The city of Everett has ordered the property owner to install fire alarms on every building where people are now living.

The alarms that need to be installed are the type that activate when someone pulls a lever.

They operate independently from smoke detectors, which were inside apartments.

As many as 26 other apartment complexes in Everett might not be up to code with fire alarms, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said Wednesday.

The fire marshal’s office started making a list after the Bluffs fire.

Inspectors plan to visit each of those buildings in the coming months.

“It’s a priority,” she said. “We’ll be communicating that code and making sure property owners are aware of it.”

Trio escaped fire with only the clothes on their backs

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — “Screaming for our lives.”

That’s how Victoria Troupe, 39, escaped the New Year’s Eve fire on W. Casino Road. She was standing at the window with her husband and their 6-year-old son. Behind them, their third-story apartment was filling with smoke. The front door was blocked by flames.

She thought they were going to die. Someone had to save them. She started screaming.

■■■ Vicki and Sean Troupe married 13 years ago, after bonding at a science fiction convention years earlier. He’s a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. She works in parts for John Deere.

The apartment on Casino Road, with two bedrooms and a den for $1,096 a month, was supposed to be a place they could stay while they recovered from setbacks.

When the economy collapsed, they both lost their jobs. They found new ones, but the pay wasn’t as good. Sean Troupe, 50, has health issues related to his military service

Vicki, Sean and Henry Troupe, 6, lost everything in an apartment fire on New Year’s Eve. The family escaped with minor cuts and bruises, lost their three cats and are currently living with Vicki’s mother.

EVERETT — The Boeing Co.’s decision to make fewer of its biggest airplanes in the next few years could mean fewer jobs, too, at the company’s plant here, a spokesman confirmed Wednesday.

The company has said it plans to cut production rates for the 747 this year and for the classic 777 in 2017.

As a result, “we expect some impact on employment and will do our best to mitigate that by placing employees in other jobs across Boeing. We are still studying how many roles may be impacted,” spokesman Doug Alder said after company leaders in Chicago confirmed the 777 rate cuts. Boeing last week announced plans to cut 747 production in half, to six planes a year, by September.

That news Wednesday came as Boeing announced fourthquarter and year-end results for 2015 and issued a projection for 2016. The company said profit this year would miss analysts’ estimates by more than a dollar per share as it delivers fewer jetliners. Boeing shares plummeted on the news by 8.9 percent, closing at $116.58 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Looking back, Boeing reported fourth-quarter 2015 profit of $1.03 billion — net income of $1.51 per share. Earnings adjusted for non-recurring costs were $1.60 per share. Those results exceeded Wall Street expectations.

During a conference call with reporters and analysts, Boeing executives said the 777 line will slow from the current rate of 100 planes a year to 84 a year — seven planes a month — by 2017. At the same time, the company will start low-rate assembly of the new 777X jetliner at the Everett plant.

There will be fewer deliveries during that transition between the two models, Alder said. “Specific details of this transition plan are proprietary.”

Computer beats human in ancient game Associated Press NEW YORK — A computer program has beaten a human champion at the ancient Chinese board game Go, marking a significant advance for development of artificial intelligence.

The program had taught itself how to win, and its developers say its learning strategy might someday let computers help solve real-world problems like making medical diagnoses and pursuing scientific research.

The program and its victory are described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

Computers previously have surpassed humans for other games, including chess, checkers and backgammon. But among classic games, Go has long been viewed as the most challenging for artificial intelligence to master.

Fire: Was the worst blaze in Everett in years From Page A1

The Bluffs are owned by a limited liability company with addresses in California and Hawaii. The company has 90 days to apply for a work permit.

After getting a permit, it has six months to install the fire alarms, according to a letter the city mailed Friday.

The Bluffs were built in 1969, before fire sprinklers were required. Unlike the sprinkler codes, however, the fire alarm rules are retroactive. Under city codes, any apartment building with at least three stories or more than 16 units must have a fire alarm system.

The apartment complex, at 2 W. Casino Road, is federally designated low-income housing. The owner is responsible for making sure the buildings are up to code. At the same time, a local real estate firm contracts with the owner to manage day-to-day operations.

In the weeks since the blaze, there have been some uncomfortable but productive conversations between people who live at the Bluffs, a nonprofit that stepped in to help them after the fire, and the property manager, Everettbased Coast Real Estate Services.

Coast CEO Tom Hoban, who grew up in south Everett, plans to apologize in person to families for how they were treated by employees the night of the fire and afterward, he said. Two Coast employees were put on administrative leave, including the former community manager, during an internal investigation.

“They did not perform well under pressure,”

She grabbed Henry’s hand and ran to call 911.

The dispatcher told her to get out, now.

Vicki Troupe opened the front door, and smoke billowed in, setting off the detectors. She ran around the couch to check their deck. That exit was blocked by smoke, too.

The three of them ran to the dining room window.

She wrapped a hoodie around Henry’s face, to

he said.

The company also canceled a legal agreement the former manager distributed to residents after the fire and told them to sign.

That document used Coast letterhead and was created without Coast’s knowledge, Hoban said.

The MeCHA club at Everett Community College, a Chicano/Latino student group, is helping him coordinate the public apology. Many of the families who call the Bluffs home include native Spanish speakers.

The initial agreement asked residents to waive their right to pursue litigation in exchange for the return of their security deposits.

The letter was released “without management approval,” Hoban said.

“We regret the confusion it caused.”

A second legal agreement regarding the deposits was drawn up with input from Snohomish County Legal Services, a nonprofit legal group.

Hand In Hand, a nonprofit based on E. Casino Road, helped mediate the conversation between the displaced families and the property owners’ lawyers.

The holdup on the deposits caused unnecessary delays for people who needed the money to take care of their families, said Todd McNeal, the executive director of Hand In Hand.

“This shed light on the issues that many underrepresented communities face, and we’re hoping this can be the watershed moment to start correcting some of these injustices,” McNeal said.

Coast is expecting to

protect him from the smoke that already had engulfed their Christmas tree.

“I start screaming, ‘I have a baby,’ ” she said. “Henry is 6, but he’s my baby. I’m thinking, I have to get this urgency to get out.”

■■■ Sean Troupe knew to yell for ladders. Neighbors brought one over from the apartment complex next door, but it was too short.

Then came another ladder. A firefighter climbed up, yelling to hand him the baby. “I knew we were going to be saved,” she said.

refund 30 security deposits, Hoban said. So far, seven residents have signed paperwork confirming they received their deposit.

Some wanted the transaction documented, Hoban said.

“The new letter agreement makes clear the residents are not waiving their legal rights,” Hoban said. “That was never our intent.”

The New Year’s Eve fire at the Bluffs was the worst blaze in Everett in years.

A man died, more than a dozen people were injured, and about 130 people were displaced. Some had to leap from apartments on the second and third floors

to escape.

The American Red Cross set up an emergency shelter that stayed open for 22 nights.

The Red Cross has been working with 32 families, said Jamie Gravelle, a disaster manager. All of those people have found temporary housing, and all but two have found permanent housing, she said.

At one point, 47 people stayed the night in temporary shelter, local Red Cross director Chuck Morrison said. Even as folks found places to stay, they returned for meals, mental health support and help getting medications replaced.

“There truly isn’t any easy way or avenue for every family to get back on their feet,” Morrison said. “Each of them has to navigate pretty different paths. It can be confusing and certainly can be difficult, and we’re just trying to work with them and the other agencies.”

Hand In Hand is a nondenominational Christian nonprofit with a mission of serving families and children in need. Some of the families affected by the fire had participated in its programs before or attended other services offered in the building, said Angela Edwards, a Hand In Hand social worker.

“When the fire occurred, it was just natural to step in,” she said.

Edwards has met with 23 of the displaced families, connecting them with private sponsors including companies and churches.

The aim is to make sure everyone gets what they need, she said.

Hand In Hand has collected $26,600 that will be

used for deposits and rents, she said. Their goal is to provide assistance through February, based on need.

“Every single penny will be spent on a family,” she said.

“A lot of them lost work and they live paycheck-topaycheck. A lot of the families are just one paycheck away from homelessness.”

The help has come in many ways, Edwards said.

For example, a man who provides pest management for the Bluffs donated all of the gift cards from his Christmas stocking.

“We couldn’t do what we’re doing without those in the community who care and who reached out to us,” Edwards said. “All of this is made possible by the community’s generosity.”

Meanwhile, Coast has joined in some of the community fundraisers, Hoban said. Coast also bought vouchers for displaced kids to get free Boys & Girls Club memberships. Hand In Hand is distributing those.

“The fact is that we have never wavered from our commitment to do what we can to see every family find a new home and a new beginning,” Hoban said.

Hoban recently met with McNeal, the Hand In Hand director, to talk about how Coast can help with long-term healing.

Hand In Hand encouraged the company to hire more staff who speak Spanish, McNeal said. Coast is now recruiting a new community manager for the Bluffs, and applicants must be bilingual.

“There have been some really positive things that have come out of this,” McNeal said, and Hoban agrees.

As she held Henry out the window, she told the firefighter, “I am not letting go until I know you have him.”

She then climbed down the ladder, followed by her husband. Behind them, “it was just black, just billowing black smoke,” she said. When she got on the ground, an Everett police officer was holding Henry, cradling him like an infant.

People brought them phones, blankets. A man gave Vicki Troupe his shoes to wear. A pair of socks materialized. She and her husband watched the fire.

She remembers crying for her cats.

“It was a blazing inferno,” she said. “It is stuff you see on TV.” ■■■ All three Troupes were given oxygen and taken to the hospital. Vicki Troupe

remembers seeing her husband’s face in the ambulance. Even his lips were covered in soot.

Their cats, Moya, Sagwa and Aisha, all died. They were family and irreplaceable, Vicki Troupe said.

That loss hurts more than the clothes, furniture and mementos. All the pictures are gone, except for the ones on Facebook. They did have renter’s insurance, which will help.

They’ve been staying with her mom, Wendy Chauteau.

The outpouring of help from the community has been a blessing, Vicki Troupe said. For more than two weeks, she wore a gray fleece peacoat with a hole in the pocket that someone gave her the night of the fire.

It took her a couple of weeks before she could

talk about that night. Her friends had so many questions. They wanted to help and didn’t know how. As plans shifted into place and settled down, suddenly there was quiet again, she said. She keeps thinking back, trying to bring order to her memories, who was where and why.

There’s an abbreviated version of the story she shares: “There was a fire. It happened really quick. We lost everything. We had to scream for our lives.”

New routines are welcome, getting Henry to school and going back to work. The other day, Sean Troupe brought her a cup of coffee while she was getting ready, like he always did before, and that moment, something normal, stopped her.

Recently, Henry asked his mom about souls, and if they lost their souls in the fire. She told him that their souls are in their hearts.

Everett Schools bond, levy to be on April ballot

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett School Board on Tuesday voted to send a $149.7 million capital bond and an $89.6 million capital levy to the ballot for the April 26 special election.

The bond issue would fund numerous school construction and upgrade projects, while

the six-year levy would fund technology and security improvements at many schools.

The decision came after a relatively short presentation by Mike Gunn, the district’s executive director of facilities and operations. But Tuesday’s action was just the culmination of a series of meetings going back to 2014, when the voters twice rejected a $259 million bond.

If approved by voters, the two new measures would cause property taxes to rise by 73 cents per $1,000 of a property’s assessed valuation.

For a $200,000 home, taxes would rise $146 per year to a total rate levied by the district of $5.86 per $1,000 — still less than the total $5.98-per-$1,000 tax rate in place before the bond failures of 2014.

The district’s portion of that $200,000 home’s total tax bill would be $1,172.

Since 2014 the district has held several public meetings and conducted outreach in the school community. Levy or bond options have been on the board’s agenda at least 14 times, Gunn said.

The last time the district voters approved a capital bond was

in 2006. Voters approved a levy in 2010 which is now expiring, so the two will not overlap on district tax bills.

Initially there had been doubts whether the board would even try to run another bond measure this year, board director Caroline Mason said.

Ex-cop acquitted in sexual abuse case

Pedaling between showers

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

Larson remains charged in Jefferson County with molesting a 7-year-old girl in 2013. He is accused of sexually assaulting the girl while she visited his then-5-year-old son at the family’s Port Townsend home.

That girl and two others, who accused Larson of sexually abusing them, were allowed to testify in the Snohomish County trial.

Superior Court Judge Anita Farris permitted their testimony

EVERETT — A former Seattle police officer was acquitted Wednesday of molesting an exgirlfriend’s daughter.

Eric Smith, 58, wiped away tears and hugged relatives and friends after the jury’s verdict was read. Since his arrest in 2014 Smith has maintained that he was wrongly accused. He testified that he never sexually abused the girl, whom he considered a daughter.

The girl and her mother lived with Smith for years in his Bothell home. She continued to spend time with him after the couple’s break-up in 2009.

In 2014, the girl, then 12, told a health class teacher and principal that Smith had been abusing her since she was 7.

“With a single sentence Eric Smith’s life has been irrevocably damaged,” Everett defense attorney Mark Mestel said Tuesday during closing arguments.

His client will never get his reputation back and there always will be people who’ll wonder if he committed these crimes, Mestel said.

Smith had been a police officer for more than 20 years. He was put on leave without pay pending the outcome of the case. Smith later retired.

“Your job is to going to be to give him back his life and liberty,” Mestel said.

Mestel accused the girl of making up the allegations, saying her story was riddled with inconsistencies. She described situations that just weren’t possible, he said. She continued to spend time with Smith even after she and her mother moved out of his house.

Man convicted in molestation of girl

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Port Townsend man twice acquitted of child sex crimes was convicted Wednesday of molesting a 3-year-old girl during a Thanksgiving dinner in 2013 in Stanwood.

A Snohomish County jury needed just 90 minutes to reach a guilty verdict after a week-long trial that included testimony from the victim, now 6.

Snohomish County deputy

prosecutor Laura Twitchell retried the case following a mistrial in November. Those jurors couldn’t reach a verdict after a couple of days of deliberations.

Joshua David Larson, 41, was led off in handcuffs Wednesday afternoon. He faces up to 5 1⁄2 years in prison when he’s sentenced in March. Once he serves his time, Larson will have to convince the state’s Indeterminate Sentence Review Board that he is fit to be released.

He will be required to register

as a sex offender.

Larson denied touching the girl’s genitals. He testified that his hand brushed her clothed buttocks as he lifted her to take a toy away. Larson told detectives the girl may have made up the story because that’s what her parents wanted to hear.

Larson plans to appeal his conviction, his lawyer said.

Over the years four other girls have accused Larson of molesting them. He’s been acquitted twice at trials.

Proposed bill would tax some political campaigns A

front porch

Republican lawmaker wants to tax political campaigns and use the money to teach civics in schools and boost enforcement of the state’s election laws.

The idea from state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, is to treat candidates, initiative campaigns and political committees — including those run by the Democratic and Republican parties — like small companies and require them to pay business taxes if they collect enough in contributions.

He’s introduced Senate Bill

Four years ago, contributions totaled $166.1 million, according to records compiled by the state Public Disclosure Commission. Candidates hauled in $61.5 million and committees took in $104.6 million.

Panel passes reversal of transgender bathroom rule

OBITUARIES AND MEMO OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Associated Press OLYMPIA — A bill that would eliminate Washington’s new rule allowing transgender people to use bathrooms and locker rooms in public buildings consistent with their gender identity passed out of a Senate committee 4-3 Wednesday.

Democratic Senators Bob Hasegawa, of Seattle, and Steve Conway, of Tacoma, voted against the bill, saying the rule, created by the state Human Rights Commission, was protecting civil rights. Sen. Karen Keiser, a Kent Democrat, also voted against the measure.

But chairman of the Commerce and Labor Committee Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, said anyone interpreting the elimination of the policy as “some kind of

judgment or castigation of the transgender community,” would be wrong.

Baumgartner and many at an earlier hearing argued against the existing policy, saying people might use it to sexually assault women.

Others at the hearing said reversing it would victimize transgender people.

Baumgartner estimated around 300 people at the overflowing hearing signed in to testify on the issue.

The bathroom policy took effect Dec. 26. Republican Sen. Doug Ericksen of Ferndale is sponsoring Senate Bill 6443 to get rid of it.

There are “very strong laws on the books that already say it’s illegal if people enter a restroom to harass, assault or invade the privacy of other people,” said Danni Askini, executive director of the Seattle-based Gender

Justice League, in an interview before the hearing.

Gender Justice League is a nonprofit organization that advocates for transgender people.

Sharon Ortiz, Human Rights Commission director, previously said the new rule was only a clarification of the state’s existing anti-discrimination law.

Transgender rights are already protected under an addition to the 2006 Washington Law Against Discrimination, she said.

The commission was created by the Legislature and is responsible for administering and enforcing that law.

Kathryn Mahan testified that she came out as transgender five years ago and said she is not a safety risk to others.

“If you pass this bill, it will be possible for anyone who doesn’t like me

to harass me when I’m using the restroom,” she said. “Tell me, how do I prove that I have female genitals?”

A bill in the House, House Bill 2782, would prohibit people from entering gender-segregated bathrooms that don’t align with their male or female “anatomy” or “DNA,” as defined by the bill. But Rep. Laurie Jinkins, a Democrat from Tacoma who is chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee, says that measure won’t get a hearing before her committee, meaning it couldn’t ever become law.

Jinkins said she doesn’t support legislation to reverse the Human Rights Commission’s policy change.

Not many people in the U.S. who identify as transgender undergo surgery

to change their genitals, according to a 2011 survey of 6,450 people by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. About 6 percent of transgender people surveyed had some type of female-to-male procedure and about 23 percent have had some form of male-tofemale surgeries.

Askini said people under 18 largely don’t have access to genderreassignment surgery.

Ericksen on Tuesday described his bill as a compromise compared to the bill in the House, because it would allow local jurisdictions and businesses to decide a policy that works best for them.

“The state shouldn’t have a mandate on men using the women’s locker room,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

The bulletin said the attack took place about 7:30 p.m. at the park, which is one block east of the campus on 200th Street SW and 64th Avenue W. The suspects were described as a group of four men believed to be in their 20s, Lynnwood police Sgt. Sean Doty said. They were described as having medium builds. Two were black, one white and the fourth suspect was unknown. The victim — a 20-yearold international student — told police that men pulled her into the park as she walked by.

Ultimately, the board settled on a measure that was much smaller than the 2014 bond, but still addressed some of the most important needs.

deputy prosecutor Cindy Larsen told jurors that the girl didn’t have anything to gain by accusing Smith of molesting her.

She first reported the abuse to her mother in 2009. The girl repeated the allegations to Smith after she told her mother.

“She said it to his face.

She was 7 years old,” Larsen said.

The girl later recanted when Smith and her mother questioned her further. Smith should have reported the incident and allowed law enforcement to investigate back then, Larsen said.

“The defendant has

everything to lose by admitting he did this,” she said. “(The girl) has nothing to gain by telling you what happened,” except to hold him accountable.

Jurors deliberated for several hours Tuesday without reaching a verdict. Deliberations had to start over Wednesday with

an alternate after one of the jurors couldn’t continue because of a family emergency.

“I think the jury arrived at the correct verdict,” Mestel said Wednesday.

jurors to prove that Larson used a common plan in each incident and that the touching was for his sexual gratification.

Jurors were told that Larson was acquitted in a case involving one of the girls.

The admissability of the other girls’ testimony is expected to be at the heart of Larson’s appeal.

The defendant was 24 when he was charged with child molestation after a 5-year-old girl reported that he abused her. A King County jury acquitted him at the 1998 trial.

During the investigation into that case, Bothell police heard from another young woman who reported that Larson

abused her in 1994, when she was 8. He wasn’t charged in connection with those allegations.

In March, a Clallam County jury concluded that Larson wasn’t guilty of molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2014 at a public pool in Sequim. The girl reported that Larson touched her while she was playing in

the pool.

That allegation came just two months after Larson was arrested for the Snohomish County incident. He’d been released from the Everett jail without having to post bail.

Fain’s bill would steer part of the revenues to the Secretary of State’s Office to develop a curriculum for teaching civics to students in secondary schools and colleges.

“Why is this not an obvious one to do especially when you can use the money to give us a

civically literate society,” Fain said following the hearing.

Another chunk would go to the Public Disclosure Commission to bolster its ability to investigate campaign complaints.

And a third less altruistic reason is to make everyone running for office experience what small business owners go through with taxes, he said.

“I do want every state

elected official to fill out a B&O form,” he said.

Though it seems unlikely this bill will reach the governor’s desk, it is still moving in that direction.

Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, who heads the education panel and is a co-sponsor, said he intends to move it to the Ways and Means Committee where the chairman, Sen. Andy Hill,

R-Redmond, also is a backer of the bill.

There’s no organized opposition. Maybe that’s because, as Fain said, there’s not a more deserving group to tax than politicians.

for passage.

The $149.7 million bond is designed to pay for big-ticket items. The list includes a new elementary school in the growing south end of the district, modernizations for North Middle and Woodside Elementary, upgrading the heating and air-conditioning systems at eight schools, new property purchases, replacing Lincoln Field at Everett High School, a new roof for Gateway Middle, technology infrastructure and telephone system upgrades, and 14 new portable classrooms for Henry M. Jackson and Cascade high schools, which are expected to see their student populations grow substantially in coming years.

The bond measure requires a 60 percent

supermajority of the vote to pass, and it authorizes the district to issue debt periodically to fund those purchases, often with a 15-20 year repayment schedule.

The $89.6 million capital levy, by contrast, would be paid off over six years. It would fund smaller purchases, and the ballot measure requires a simple majority vote to pass.

Most of the levy items are related to technology and security and safety needs, such as computer equipment for students and faculty, expanded WiFi and networking, maintenance and upgrades to existing technology, and 10 portable classrooms earmarked for elementary schools.

About $8.6 million of the levy would cover upgrades and security enhancements to the entrances of 18 school buildings.

Director Pam LeSesne, alluding to recent shootings at Marysville Pilchuck and at a school in Saskatchewan, said she was particularly grateful the security issues were included in the mix.

“We need to take care of this now,” LeSesne said.

Gunn also provided the board with a list of items that were not included in the bond measure, as a reminder to the directors of unmet needs.

That list of projects, which is projected to total $435.6 million, includes a new high school in the south end, yet another elementary school, 30 new classrooms

to accommodate the expected reduction of class sizes for the K-3 grades, a new cafeteria at Cascade High and a new science and technology materials center.

Most board members expressed relief the issue was now headed toward the voters, and the smattering of visitors in the room broke into applause when the final vote on the bond was taken.

Laura Gothro, the parent of a Jackson High student, commended the board for their work. “I feel this package you’re discussing represents what parents and staff and community members feel is important.”

John Ward Lynch

Sept. 29, 1923- Jan. 19, 2016

Beloved father, son, broth-

Ronald Louis Miller Ron passed away January 7, 2016, at age 75, after a fight with cancer. He was born on January 11, 1941, in Everett, Wash. to Frank and Lucille Miller.

Ro n g r a d u a te d w i t h t h e 1959 Class of Everett High School, and started Everett Community College, but then s e r ve d h i s c o u n t r y t h r e e years in the U.S. Army in Italy, as a Signal Corps radio repairman on the Yugoslav b o r d e r. U p o n r e t u r n , h e finished his education with a BA from Western Washington University.

Ron then decided to follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps, and worked for American Tu g b o a t , a n d C r o w l e y Maritime Companies for 30-plus years.

After being able to retire at the age of 55, Ron collected stamps, spent time on his computer (he once had the largest C64 Bulletin Board in the West), and enjoyed arguing politics with his “little brother.”

Ron is survived by his son, Brent (Carmen) Miller of Cordoba, Spain; his brother, D a v i d ( B J A n n e ) M i l l e r, Everett; his Aunt Sue (Bob) Long, Everett; his nieces, B et h M i l l e r H a d d o c k a n d Michelle Miller of Georgia; Becky Galloway of Renton, Wash.; their children Ian, Connor, Kathleen, Mackenzie; and many cousins.

At his request, a private service was held at sea by his immediate family.

er, and friend, died peacefully with family at his side.

All who knew and loved him will sorely miss his generous smile, bountiful creativity, intense curiosity, and his loving heart. Ward was born in Lakeview, Oregon, the eldest son born to Evere t t a n d D o ro t hy Ly n c h ( Wa rd ) . H e m ove d to t h e Po r t l a n d , O r e . a r e a a s a young child and attended school there until he moved to Tonasket, Wash. where he received his diploma from Tonasket High School. With World War II raging, he joined the Merchant Marines where he saw duty in the Philippines and the por ts and convoys in the Pacific Theater. He took pride in his shaved head after crossing the Equator, a tradition in the Navy and Merchant Marines. He met his first wife, Constance Lynch (Dieffenbach), during a port call in Seattle, Wash. She took his heart and name before he went back to sea. Upon his return, he settled in Tonasket with his new wife and first born child, Caroline. He owned a Record Store in Tonasket for a number of years where his daughters, Catherine (Lorraine), Jane Ellen, and Elizabeth, were born. He a n d h i s f a m i l y m ove d to Mountlake Terrace, Wash. in 1954 where he worked at Ke l l y ’ s Te l ev i s i o n Re p a i r shop in the Loyal Heights area of Seattle until 1956 when he took a position at Boeing Airplane Manufacture in Seattle. He spent the next 29 years supporting a growing family.

He and his wife Constance’s family continued to grow with Thomas, Christopher and Christina (the t w i n s ) , M i c h a e l , P e t e r, Theresa, and Anthony.

He turned to art in his mid 40s, an interest he had had since his youth. Ward was well known for his three dimensional macramé hangings and inclusion of local material and of other artists’ works into his own. His macrame led to an in interest in jewelry and fine metal work.

He soon found another passion and started teaching art

classes. In 1973 he lost his first wife of 29 years, Constance, to cancer.

He met his second wife, B a r b a r a D a r i l e k ( B ove l a ) shortly after and found new love and more children, as Barbara had four young children, Angela, Paul, Ronald, and Diane.

A family vacation led to an oppor tunity in Okanogan, Wash. which Ward thought too good to miss. He purchased a rock and gem shop and he and new wife Barbara, along with their seven youngest children relocated to Okanogan.

The Okanogan Artisan rose from the ashes of the Rock and Gem Shop he had purchased in 1976. He continued his artwork expanding into different mediums and techniques. For many years he taught numerous classes devoted to ar t histor y and technique part time at the local Community College in O m a k , Wa s h . a n d a t h i s business in Okanogan. His attention was then captured by the local Omak Community Theater where he was able to provide the knowledge and expertise learned from many years in electronics and art to install theater lighting and direction which continued for many years.

With the departure of their offspring and Barbara’s retirement, they moved to Everson, Wash. where he continued his art and teaching up until his last days.

Ward had many interests and found the most joy in tea c h i n g a n d s h a ri n g h i s love of ar t and the world around him with his many friends, students, and children.

Wa rd i s s u r v i ve d by h i s wife, Barbara; his daughters, Lorraine Tedrow, Jane Ellen Ly n c h , E l i z a b e t h Ly n c h , Christina Lee, Anastasia Miller, Angela Doty (Darilek), Diane (Darilek) McKinney; his sons, Tom, Christopher, M i c h a e l , P e t e r, A n t h o n y Lynch, and Ron and Paul Darilek; and numerous grandchildren and great g r a n d c h i l d r e n ; a n d m a ny sons and daughters he “adopted” along the way.

He is preceded in death by his mother, father; older sister, Dorothy, younger brother, James; oldest daughter, Carolyn Sue Pierce (Lynch), oldest son, John Ward Lynch, Jr., and a son who died at birth.

Robert “Bob” Friend Robert “Bob” Friend, age

93, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Januar y 23, 2016.

He was born on September 2, 1922, in Daly City, Calif., the eighth child of Grover and Tillie Friend. The family moved to the Pacific Northwe s t i n 19 2 9 a n d h e r e mained here the rest of his life. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corp in 1940 and was very proud of the work done by that organization. He traveled to Guam, the Philippines, Hawaii and the South Pacific as a construction worker prior to joining the Marines. During WWII he achieved the rank of Sargent and ser ved in China.

He was very proud that he was a “China Marine”. After WWII he went back on the road doing construction in Alaska.

In 1949 he met Barbara Dana and in April 1951 he married her and said it was the best thing he ever did in his life. He was blessed by the birth of his first daughter, Patricia (Patty) in 1952 and in 1954, with the birth o f h i s s e c o n d d a u g h t e r, Cynthia (Cindy). Theirs was a busy household with a lot of love and activity.

Bob continued to work construction until 1968 when he s t a r te d wo r k i n g a t S c o t t

Paper Company and subsequently retired from Scott Paper in 1985. Bob always had to have something to do, so after retiring, he volunteered for the Diabetes A s s o c i a t i o n s to c k i n g a n d collecting the candy donation boxes. He enjoyed getting out and seeing the people on his route. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friends and family and often went to Idaho for an annual outing. One of the most remarkable memories of Bob was mowing and trimming his very large lawn up until 92. It would take him hours, sometimes having to quit a n d r e s t a r t t h e n ex t d ay when he got his strength back, but he didn’t want any help.

Bob and Barbara enjoyed many activities together with their “road” trips being the most enjoyable. The trips consisted of a main staple of ice cream and burgers as well as many visits to ant i qu e s to r e s . B o b a l way s found a local to talk to and asked what they did and why they were there. Each trip had a wealth of information and he always had a story to tell. They loved traveling the Oregon Coast, visiting his Marine friends and families in San Francisco, and Patty and Ty in San Diego, Calif. In 1964 he put a camper on the back of his truck, loaded the family and spent five weeks on the road visiting friends in Wisconsin, family in Washington DC and assorted cousins and friends all the way back to the N o r t h we s t . T h i s t r i p wa s highlighted by ice cream and sw i mmi ng p ool s. He sai d this was the trip of a lifetime!

He was a proud lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge for over 50 years and was a 32nd degree Mason.

He leaves behind his daughter, Patty (Ty) Wernet; sister, Elsie (Bill) Hanson a n d b r o t h e r, V i c ( J e a n ) Friend; many friends, and friends that were like family, specifically Duane Bly and Dave Neyens.

His wife of 61 years, Barbara Dana Friend, daughter Cindy Holler, granddaughter Heather Callan, two sisters, and six brothers preceded him in death.

The family would like to thank the people of Mountain View Rehabilitation Center for their loving and compassionate care of Bob during the last part of his journey here on earth.

Per his request, there will be no service. He will be interred at Tahoma National Cemetery at a later date.

Memorials can be sent to M a r y s v i l l e Fo o d B a n k a t 4150 88th St. NE, Mar ysville, WA 98270.

Admiral can’t see secrets Worried he was on the verge of being indicted, Navy leaders suspended his access to classified materials.

The Washington Post For more than two years, the Navy’s intelligence chief has been stuck with a major handicap: He’s not allowed to know any secrets.

Vice Adm. Ted “Twig” Branch has been barred from reading, seeing or hearing classified information since November 2013, when the Navy learned from the Justice Department that his name had surfaced in a giant corruption investigation involving a foreign defense contractor and scores of Navy personnel.

Worried that Branch was on the verge of being indicted, Navy leaders suspended his access to classified materials.

They did the same to one of his deputies, Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, the Navy’s director of intelligence operations.

More than 800 days later, neither Branch nor Loveless has been charged. But neither has been cleared, either. Their access to classified information remains blocked.

Although the Navy

transferred Loveless to a slightly less sensitive post, it kept Branch in charge of its intelligence division. That has resulted in an awkward arrangement, akin to sending a warship into battle with its skipper stuck onshore.

Branch can’t meet with other senior U.S. intelligence leaders to discuss sensitive operations, or hear updates from his staff about secret missions or projects. It can be a chore just to set foot in colleagues’ offices; in keeping with regulations, they must conduct a sweep beforehand to make sure any classified documents are locked up.

Some critics have questioned how smart it is for the Navy to retain an intelligence chief with such limitations, for

so long, especially at a time when the Pentagon is confronted by crises in the Middle East, the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula and other hotspots.

“I have never heard of anything as asinine, bizarre or stupid in all my years,” said Norman Polmar, a naval analyst and historian.

In an op-ed in Navy Times last fall, Polmar urged Navy leaders to replace Branch and Loveless for the sake of national security. He cited complaints from several unnamed Navy officers that “intelligence management is being hampered at a moment of great turmoil.”

It’s a touchy subject for Navy brass, who have struggled to replace Branch. Twice in the past 14 months, they have taken steps to nominate a new intelligence chief — who must be confirmed by the Senate — but haven’t followed through.

There’s no indication that a successor will be in place anytime soon.

Rear Adm. Dawn Cutler, the Navy’s chief spokeswoman, said the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of Branch and Loveless “has not impacted the Navy’s ability to manage operations.” She said the two still perform managerial duties while their civilian and military deputies handle the classified aspects of their jobs.

In addition to serving as chief of Navy intelligence, Branch holds the title of the Navy’s chief information officer, oversees the Navy’s 55,000-member Information Dominance Corps and is in charge of many cybersecurity programs.

Privately, some Navy leaders acknowledged that dealing with the fallout from the Justice Department’s investigation has been a nightmare, and that they never anticipated the case would drag on so long.

“We had the understanding that this was going to resolve itself pretty quickly,” a senior Navy official said. “We have no actionable information on Admiral Branch, good, bad or otherwise. All we know is that he’s wrapped up in this somehow.

“Until these things resolve themselves, we’re kind of frozen,” the senior official said. “Is it optimum? No, it’s not optimum. But it’s where we are.”

Branch has long been a star in the Navy’s officer corps. A fighter pilot by training, he has flown combat missions over Grenada, Lebanon, the Balkans and Iraq.

He’s perhaps best known for his leading role in a 10-part PBS documentary, “Carrier,” an inside account of life aboard the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz, which he commanded in 2005.

Gang members held in escape Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Several gang members have been arrested in connection with a jailbreak at Orange County’s largest lockup, but police have yet to locate the three men who escaped from the Men’s Central Jail in Santa Ana last week, Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said Wednesday.

It was not clear what role, if any, the men played in the escape, but law enforcement officials have been pressuring local gangs ever since Jonathan Tieu, Bac Duong and Hossein Nayeri broke out and disappeared last Friday.

The sheriff did not provide more details about the arrests or name the suspects.

Hutchens also said she believes Nayeri, a 37-year-old inmate with a military background who was awaiting trial in a vicious torture plot, masterminded the escape plot.

Sheriff’s officials have turned their attention to the local Vietnamese community in recent days, based on Tieu and Duong’s possible ties to the Little Saigon section of Westminster and Garden Grove.

Tieu lived in the neighborhood and police have described him as a “documented Vietnamese gang member,” and Duong was a Vietnamese national who entered the U.S. legally in 1991.

Hutchens said she was

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

A wanted poster for the three escaped inmates from the Orange County jail

interviewed on local Vietnamese radio and television stations Wednesday, and police previously made pleas for the public’s help in locating the suspects in English and Vietnamese earlier this week.

Hutchens, who also said she suspects the escapees had

“outside help,” announced changes to the jail’s head count policies, which have been heavily criticized in recent days.

The trio broke out of a fourth-floor dormitory that housed 65 other inmates Friday morning, but the escape

went undetected for at least 16 hours. Deputies only conduct physical head counts of inmates twice a day in Orange County, a practice that has drawn stark criticism from corrections experts.

Hutchens said changes had been made to the policy, but did not elaborate. She also continued to defend the decision to house the three men in dormitory-style housing, rather than in individual cells, despite the fact that all three were awaiting trial on violent crimes.

“We house based on behavior and there were no issues with Mr. Nayeri, with any of these individuals, while they were in our custody,” she said.

“In terms of the count, that was a breakdown, and we are looking at who helped these individuals because they did have help.”

Hutchens said the jail does have individual cells, but normally reserves those for transgender inmates or other prisoners who must be separated from the general population.

The men cut through at least four layers of steel, metal and rebar before ascending to the roof of the Santa Ana jailhouse, where they used a makeshift rope of knotted bed sheets and cloth to rappel down the side of the building.

They haven’t been seen since.

Zero fighter flies again over Japan Associated Press KANOYA, Japan — One of Mitsubishi’s legendary Zero fighter planes took to the skies over Japan on Wednesday for the first time since World War II. The restored plane made a brief flight to and from a naval base in southern Japan. Decorated former U.S. Air Force pilot Skip Holm flew the aircraft.

Zero fighters were considered one of the most capable fighter planes in World War II, rivaling the British Spitfire.

Their long range allowed them to play a prominent role in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

Only a few are still in operating condition.

This particular plane was

found decaying in Papua New Guinea in the 1970s. It was owned by an American until Japanese businessman Masahiro Ishizuka purchased it and brought it to Japan in September.

“I wanted for the people of Japan and especially young people to know about this Zero airplane, as well as those who are old who remember the past,” Ishizuka said. “Each of them should have different

thoughts and perspectives on this, but I just want people to know how Japan has developed its technology.”

Japanese see the aircraft both as a symbol of their country’s technological advance and a reminder of the harrowing history of the war. In the last phase of the fighting, they were used for “kamikaze” attacks.

Kamikaze pilots took off from the same airfield as Wednesday’s flight, Kanoya Naval Air Base on the island of Kyushu.

Under its previous American owner, the plane made an appearance in the Hollywood movie “Pearl Harbor” and at various events in the United States.

ACROSS THE U.S.

President Obama meets Bernie Sanders WASHINGTON — After a 45-minute sit-down in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders left the White House praising President Barack Obama for how “even-handed” he has been in an increasingly tight nomination fight to succeed him. “I think he and the vice president have tried to be fair and even-handed in the process, and I expect they will continue to be that way,” Sanders told reporters outside the West Wing entrance after the meeting. In an interview released Monday, Obama heaped praise on Hillary Clinton while labeling Sanders a “bright, shiny” alternative. Clinton repeatedly referred to Obama’s remarks that night in a nationally televised forum.

New lithium battery ruling A U.N. panel recommended Wednesday that cargo shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries be banned from passenger airliners because the batteries can create fires capable of destroying planes, according to aviation officials familiar with the decision. The International Civilian Aviation Organization’s air navigation commission, the agency’s highest technical body, also proposed that the ban be lifted if new packaging can be developed that provides an acceptable level of safety. Final approval from the ICAO top-level council is still needed. The council is scheduled to take up the matter in late February.

S. Carolina: Refugee bill A bill requiring state police to track refugees coming to the state and to hold their sponsors liable for damages if they commit an act of terrorism is on its way to the floor of the state Senate. A Senate committee approved the measure Wednesday. A spokesman for an organization focused on protecting the civil rights of Muslims said South Carolina is the first state he knows of that has proposed such a registry. The proposal has wide support among conservative Republicans.

Texas: Killer is executed A man was executed Wednesday evening for fatally shooting a game warden nine years ago during a shootout after a 90-minute chase that began when he was suspected of poaching. James Freeman, 35, was asked by the warden if he had a final statement. “No, I do not,” he replied. He was pronounced dead at 6:30 p.m., 16 minutes after prison officials began a lethal dose of pentobarbital. As the pentobarbital began taking effect, he snored about five times and coughed slightly once.

California: L.A. shooting Eight Los Angeles police officers who mistakenly opened fire on Los Angeles Times newspaper delivery women thinking they were rogue excop Christopher Dorner in 2013 will not be criminally charged, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday. The officers opened fire in the predawn hours of Feb. 7, 2013, as Margie Carranza and her mother, Emma Hernandez, were slowly cruising though a Torrance neighborhood in a pickup truck delivering papers. Both women survived and received a $4.2 million legal settlement.

More than ‘like’ on Facebook It won’t be long before Facebook’s 1.6 billion users have more ways to quickly express their feelings on the world’s largest social network. After four months of testing outside the U.S., Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday that “pretty soon” six new emotions will be added to the social network throughout the world. The additional options will expand Facebook beyond the renowned thumbs-up symbol that people click on to show they like a comment, photo or video posted on the social network.

AROUND THE WORLD Norway: Preschool carnival A preschool has canceled its traditional carnival celebration saying it encourages gender stereotypes, with boys dressing up in macho superhero costumes and girls in frilly princess dresses. The principal of the Vikaasen preschool near Trondheim said Wednesday that “we don’t think it fits our values to host an event where children feel it’s important to fit into specific gender roles.”

Bombardier shares tumble The rout raises the prospect that the aircraft maker will be thrown out of the main Canadian stock gauge.

By Frederic Tomesco Bloomberg

Bombardier Inc.’s shares fell below C$1, the latest blow for the iconic Canadian manufacturer as it buckles under $9 billion in debt.

The 2 percent drop Wednesday in Toronto added to the 25 percent decline the shares sustained this

year through Tuesday. The rout raises the prospect that the aircraft maker will be thrown out of the main Canadian stock gauge — a development that would bring additional pressure by forcing index funds to sell their holdings.

Investors have abandoned the shares as the 73-year-old company struggles with the development of the C Series, a jet with as many as 160 seats that is two years late and more than $2 billion over budget. Originally a snowmobile maker, Montreal-based Bombardier grew into a train and aircraft maker that is credited with inventing the regional jet in

the 1980s.

The company’s widely traded Class B stock closed Wednesday at 99 Canadian cents in Toronto, its lowest intraday level since 1991. Bombardier’s 68 percent tumble last year made it the sixthworst performer this year among members of Canada’s benchmark Standard & Poor’s/TSX Composite Index.

A stock must have an average price of at least C$1 for the previous three months to remain in the S&P/TSX index after each quarterly review, according to Tony North, senior manager of equity markets for S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Bombardier now has a market value of about C$2.28 billion ($1.62 billion). That’s equivalent to almost 23 units of the CS300 — the company’s largest aircraft model, which carries a list price of $72 million.

The family of founder JosephArmand Bombardier controls the company through their Class A shares, which carry 10 votes each.

The planemaker now estimates that the C Series will cost $5.4 billion. While working on the C Series, Bombardier has seen sales of its CRJ family of regional jets lag behind those of Embraer SA, which are being fitted with new engines.

Affordable, walkable neighborhoods Seven of the top 24 communities in Redfin’s study were in Seattle.

classes could afford to live — but their schools performed poorly.

Others, such as Phoenix, San Antonio and Columbus, Ohio, enjoy above-average neighborhood schools. But their communities pretty much require cars for doing basic errands.

Homebuyers have long sought high-quality schools. But a

rising emphasis on walkability reflects a generational shift. Compared with older generations, millennials, ages 18 to 34, disproportionately prefer walking, according to a survey released in July by the National Association of Realtors and the Transportation Research and Education Center at Portland State University.

Nearly a third of millennials commute to work or school by foot, compared with 13 percent for the post-World War II baby boom generation.

The popularity of walkable neighborhoods has led to higher prices for certain residential and commercial real estate. A 2012 report by researchers at the Brookings Institution found higher retail sales and home values per square foot in the most walkable neighborhoods in

Washington, D.C. In the Redfin report, only 24 neighborhoods in eight cities met all three criteria of walkability, affordability and schools.

Seven of the neighborhoods were in Seattle. Its University District neighborhood — site of the University of Washington’s campus — ranked as the highest.

Though housing in the University District is expensive — the median home value is near $620,000, roughly triple the national level — high area incomes tend to make it relatively affordable. More than 57 percent of families earned more than $100,000 in 2014, according to the Census Bureau.

Pentagon defends use of Russian rockets Senior Pentagon officials Wednesday sought to defend the use of Russian-made rocket engines to send U.S. military satellites into space, telling exasperated lawmakers they are moving quickly to end the practice and rely on American-made rockets for the launches. But Air Force Secretary Deborah James and the Pentagon acquisition chief failed to stem sharp criticism from members of the Senate Armed Services Committee who view Russia as the chief geopolitical threat to the United States. Led by the committee chairman, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., they said using the Russian engines enriches President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle and puts U.S. national security in jeopardy.

Fed is concerned about global pressure

By Josh Boak WASHINGTON — Few neighborhoods can match the perks of Adams Morgan in Washington, D.C. — a reality that reflects a broader problem for the U.S. housing market.

Residents of Adams Morgan enjoy a bevy of bars, restaurants, exercise studios and shopping, just steps from their row houses and condo buildings. Home values are reasonable relative to neighborhood incomes. And in general, the area schools rate as better than average nationally.

Across the country, just 14 percent of neighborhoods manage to be at once affordably priced, walkable and near decent schools. And many of those neighborhoods exist in only two cities: Seattle and Washington, according to a new analysis released Wednesday by the real estate brokerage Redfin.

The findings suggest a substantial mismatch between the neighborhoods where people say they want to live and the homes actually available to them.

“Cities have not kept up with consumer tastes,” said Nela Richardson, Redfin’s chief economist.

The analysis examined 170 neighborhoods in 20 cities, comparing home sales and income data with rankings from the organizations Walk Score and GreatSchools. Some cities, such as Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia, contained balanced neighborhoods — where people of different income

The Federal Reserve sounded a note of concern Wednesday about how global pressures could affect the U.S. economy, while keeping a key interest rate unchanged. Six weeks after it raised rates from record lows, the Fed took stock of a more perilous international picture that could alter its plans for further raising rates. The statement it issued after its latest policy meeting signaled that it might consider slowing future rate hikes if market losses and global weakness don’t abate. But the Fed did not commit to slowing its pace of rate increases, and stock investors appeared disappointed. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down about 223 points, or 1.4 percent.

Chrysler will raise Jeep, Ram production Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Wednesday it will shift its production emphasis toward building more Jeep SUVs, Ram pickups and hybrid or electric vehicles to meet what it sees as permanent changes in the trends driving the North American automotive industry.

U.S. new-home sales surge in December Associated Press WASHINGTON — Americans rushed to buy new homes in December at the strongest pace in 10 months, with 2015 marking the strongest year for this segment of the housing market since 2008.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that new-home sales surged 10.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 544,000. It was the third consecutive

Adams Morgan — ranked third by Redfin — is packed with bars along its 18th Street corridor. Yet its residents are also relatively well-paid, with 61 percent of families making at least $100,000.

Among the new condo buildings is Ontario 17, which has sold over 70 percent of its units since its pre-construction sales began a year ago. Its

trillion in assets, said that while the S&P 500 sank 8 percent during the first 11 days of the year there was no perceptible change in participant trading compared with the same period in the past two years.

“There are a few that panic and they are harming themselves when they choose to sell equities at

monthly gain since sales collapsed in September.

The increase nearly pulled the sales rate even with the level of 545,000 in February 2015 and points to continued momentum for real estate and construction in the opening months of this year.

“This is a promising sign for the housing market as we move into 2016,” said Tian Liu, chief economist at Genworth Mortgage Insurance. “We expect the strong increase in new home sales

to continue as the fundamentals in the housing market remain strong and newer vintage homes are in short supply.”

Sales of new homes accelerated sharply in 2015, rising 14.5 percent on the entire year to 501,000.

Steady job growth that cut the unemployment rate to a healthy 5 percent has given many homebuyers increased confidence, while relatively low mortgage rates improved affordability. Yet sales of

new homes continue to run below the 52-year historic average of 655,200, a sign of the severe hit absorbed by the market after the housing bubble burst.

Builders responded to the demand by increasing construction. Over the course of 2015, ground breakings rose 10.8 percent to 1.1 million. Yet supplies main relatively low with only 5.2 months’ inventory of new homes available, down from 5.6 months in November. The

ground floor features a Pilates-style studio.

“A lot of the homeowners who did purchase already lived in Adams Morgan,” said Brenda Moreno, the broker managing condo sales for the building.

“People want to be very close to work.”

But the increased popularity of walkable neighborhoods could mean that many will eventually lose their affordability. The Redfin analysis shows that few walkable communities also have access to

better-than-average public and charter schools — meaning that their home values might rise and cause affordability to drop.

A separate measure by the real estate data firm Zillow shows that prices in Seattle’s University District have shot up nearly 17 percent in the past 12 months, a sign that walkable neighborhoods may soon price out its least prosperous residents.

“These balanced neighborhoods are an endangered species right now,” said Richardson, Redfin’s chief economist.

A preschool class returns to their school in Seattle’s University District on Wednesday.

a low,” said Jean Young, a senior research analyst with the Vanguard Center for Retirement Research.

“But by and large we aren’t seeing a lot of activity.”

And this is while retirement savers at nearly every age group are putting more of their next egg into stocks, as advisers recommend.

Vanguard said every age group under 60 has increased the portion of their investments allocated to equities between 2007, the pre-crash peak, and

2014. The change was most dramatic for people under 25, who now have 87 percent of their portfolios in stocks, up from 67 percent in 2007. The figures for 2015 are not complete but Vanguard expects the trend to continue.

The median allocation for equities across all age groups is 83 percent, up from 80 percent in 2007.

So where’s all this coolheaded confidence amid the chaos coming from? As much from automation as from steely nerves or deep wisdom.

Funds based on an investor’s expected retirement date and other professionally managed products that allow investors to go on autopilot have become much more popular in recent years. These don’t require the investor to make as many judgment calls, leaving it up to professionals to adjust the risk based on when the investor plans to quit the daily grind and buy a Winnebago.

Vanguard said about 48 percent of its plan participants are in a professionally managed

New-home sales climbed strongly in the West and Northeast in December.

They were nearly flat in the South — the country’s largest housing market.

The median new-home sales price fell 4.3 percent from a year ago to $288,900.

But Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at the real estate firm Trulia, cautioned that this doesn’t necessarily mean that

affordability has improved for first-time buyers.

Only 19 percent of new-home sales were below $200,000 in 2015, a decrease from 23 percent in 2014.

“This is likely due to a combination of low inventory of new starter homes and fewer first-time homebuyers,” McLaughlin said.

Still, lower borrowing costs have helped reduce cost pressures and encourage sales, a trend likely to run through this year.

product, up from less than 20 percent in 2007. This has helped greatly reduce the number of people with extreme positions, such as holding all equities or no equities at all.

Also, employers have increasingly been enrolling employees automatically, and increasing the number of participants.

That leaves many investors unaware of exactly how much they hold in stocks, or unconcerned.

Some are simply more confident in the concept that equities are

long-term investments.

And even in a bad stock market, people tend to continue to contribute to their retirement plan. That helps them buy stocks at lower prices, setting them up for bigger gains later.

That’s how those with long time horizons weathered the recession without much bruising — and it should help today’s handsoff investors recover, too.

“People didn’t know what to do, so they didn’t do anything, which worked to their advantage,” Young said.

IN OUR VIEW | State government ethics

Cool-down period on lobbying A state ethics board has dismissed as “obviously unfounded or frivolous” complaints that three former state officials had helped the Snohomish County Public Utility District obtain a $7.3 million grant through the state’s Clean Energy Fund.

As reported Wednesday

by The Herald’s Jerry Cornfield and Dan Catchpole, the state Executive Ethics Board interviewed the three former officials for the state Department of Commerce and reviewed two year’s worth of emails, investigating whether the three, now working for private companies involved with the grant request, had influenced the grant’s award to the PUD and contractor 1Energy Systems.

Former state Commerce Director Rogers Weed joined 1Energy’s board of directors five months after leaving his state post and later became an executive for 1Energy.

Deputy Director Daniel Malarkey left his state job to join 1Energy and assist in writing the PUD grant application.

A third former Commerce official, Michael Carr, helped to launch the Clean Energy Fund while at Commerce and is now an attorney for a PUD subcontractor through 1Energy.

Again, the ethics board found no merit to the anonymous complaints. Other than Malarkey’s work to draft a policy memo on how the Clean Energy Fund could be structured, the ethics board said the three had no role in drafting the fund legislation, developing the application process, evaluating the applicants or selecting the grant recipient.

But when public officials leave office and join private companies that do business with government agencies, it’s natural for some to wonder about the potential for past connections to influence the decisions of government agencies.

Current state law already imposes restrictions on some former state officials and employees, particularly where private employment would

require disclosure of confidential information obtained while working for the state.

But unlike more than 30 other states, Washington has no “cooling off” period that prevents former legislators, state officials or other employees from lobbying their old employer on behalf of their new employer.

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has requested legislation be reintroduced that would require lawmakers, elected officials and agency heads to cool their heels for one year before they could become a paid lobbyist or seek to influence state government decisions. The bills are House Bill 1136 and Senate Bill 6258.

The legislation isn’t seeking to prevent a company from hiring a former official, but for a one-year period elected officials, agency chiefs and senior-level staff, after leaving a state post, would be required to notify the state when taking a job with a company that does business with the state and could not lobby on behalf

of the new employer.

The legislation was proposed in 2014 following a New York Times investigation that found that former State Attorney General Rob McKenna and his deputy were lobbying former colleagues on behalf of private clients, including T-Mobile, just months after leaving office.

The lack of such a coolingoff period was noted by the Center for Public Integrity in its 2015 state-by-state rankings on State Integrity, contributing to the F grade it received for executive accountability and the D-plus that Washington state received overall.

Investigations, such as the state Executive Ethics Board’s review of the Clean Energy Fund contracts, can answer immediate concerns and restore some confidence in public agencies, but a clearer separation when public officials leave their jobs and join private firms would help to head off suspicions that can damage credibility and trust in government.

OCD.” He is absolutely correct in that Dr. Sid Schwab needs help. Ranting about GOP politics is simply too gargantuan an enterprise for any one person to take on alone, even someone as capable as Dr. Schwab. There is simply too much to rant about when discussing the political views expressed by the vast array of GOP presidential hopefuls and their supporters. It seems that some among the GOP faithful would like nothing better than to create a theo-plutocracy of gun-toting, Bible-thumping conservative extremists unwilling to compromise or negotiate with those expressing opposing views. I could continue my rants, but I’ll leave this to Dr. Schwab who will have more space to rant eloquent about the GOP than The Herald allots to letters to its editor. Unfortunately, even if Dr. Schwab had the entire Herald on a daily basis to rant about GOP politics, it would not be enough.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SULTAN SCHOOLS

Investing in kids has huge payoff I am a junior at Sultan High School, and I can argue against some of the things that Kay George states in her guest commentary against the bond. (“Brochure left out details on Sultan school bond.”)

The high school only has six math classes, four science classes and no engineering classes. The STEM classrooms would give students the opportunity to explore new fields.

The roofs at all of the schools are leaking.

The bond will not impact those who are on the brink of losing their homes. The Sultan School District Bond Information pamphlet even states, “Exemption from taxes may be available to homeowners who are 61 or older, or disabled, and who meet certain income requirements. Please contact the Snohomish County Assessor’s Office at 425-388-3433 for information.”

George claims that the tax increase will affect “businesses barely scraping by.”

But, this is a property tax, not a business tax. Most businesses here own small amounts of property.

Sultan has the lowest bond tax rate for schools in Snohomish County. The amount of money that our district gets to spend on schools has been too low for too long.

The bond will be expensive. But, George implies that our district can simply get by with the bare minimum of resources that we have. When it comes to education, do you really want your child to survive, and not to thrive?

In order to ensure the wellbeing of our kids, let’s look to the future.

Clinton suffers from constant drip of doubts

T

he first question to Hillary Clinton from an audience member during Monday night’s Democratic town hall in Iowa must have been a blow from one so young this close to the caucuses.

The query came from a fellow who asked what her response is to his friends who say she’s dishonest. There was no beating around any bushes, so to speak, on that one.

Flinching slightly, ClinKATHLEEN PARKER ton rested her expression somewhere between sadness and weariness.

Ever the pro, she rallied: “I’ve been around a long time — people have thrown all kinds of things at me,” she said. “They throw all this stuff at me, and I’m still standing.”

Clinton offered a similar response when asked about Benghazi: “I understand that they will try to make this an issue — I will continue to answer, and my defense is the truth.”

“They” presumably are Republicans and others who for decades have pointed out discrepancies between Clinton’s version of the truth and reality as checked against facts. She has, indeed, been around a long time, probably before her first questioner was born.

In one of her political ads, Clinton is shown repeatedly giving more or less the same speech about helping children realize their full potential — beginning in her college days through her various iterations to the present day. Her efforts on behalf of women and children are consistent, admirable and irrefutable. Yet one can’t help thinking upon seeing this ad, Boy, she’s been around a long time.

If you’re 22 or younger, your parents hadn’t brought you forth in time for Bill Clinton’s first presidential inauguration. If you’re at least 30ish, you probably heard grown-ups talking on TV about oral sex in the White House. And if you’re a baby boomer, you remember all of it and, if you’re not a member of the Clinton club, your memories are probably not fond.

Questions about Hillary Clinton’s honesty are not recent to Benghazi or to emails and a private server, but began ages ago with any number of fabricated or exaggerated stories. Many may remember what New York Times columnist William Safire wrote about Clinton in 1996: “Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our first lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar,” he said.

“Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.”

There “they” go again?

Safire’s concerns at the time — Whitewater, travelgate, “lost” records — may seem remote and trivial to some, but the dripdrip he identified didn’t stop with the White House years. There were, for example, the story of coming under fire on a tarmac in Bosnia, or about her having been named for the explorer Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, despite her having been born about six years before his history-making climb.

These are such trivial stories to invent that one wonders why she bothered. The answer can’t be easily divined except as Safire suggested. Or, is it that she is reflexively prone to dissemble? Would this be a matter of habit? An innate need to inflate one’s status — even when it isn’t needed?

Even though these stories have been well-known at different times, they eventually fade or are dismissed as politically motivated. Politicians can reasonably bank on voters’ ever-shrinking memories, especially in the 140-character era of Twitter and YouTube, when most people would rather watch a leopard stalk and devour a crocodile. Well, I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s a pretty safe bet few enough will care what happened in 1996.

But more recent issues of inaccuracies are both concerning and consequential.

We now know with certainty (thanks to an email from Clinton to daughter Chelsea the night of the Benghazi attacks) that the then-secretary of state knew it was a terrorist attack, contrary to official reports in the days following about street riots that escalated. We also know from the intelligence community inspector general that her private server contained information ranked beyond top-secret, contradicting her assertions to the contrary.

What difference at this point does any of it make? When it comes to public trust in a presidential candidate — everything.

Dark money ad attacks GOP candidate Kasich

By Julie Bykowicz Associated Press

WASHINGTON — “Who is he?” a new attack advertisement ominously wonders about Republican presidential candidate John Kasich, before trashing him as “an Obama Republican.”

But the commercial raises another question: Who’s asking?

A group called the American Future Fund is paying $1 million to air the anti-Kasich ad in New Hampshire, where the Ohio governor is trying for a strong finish in the Feb. 9 primary that could propel him into the top tier of the dozen GOP presidential contenders.

The 30-second commercial shows Kasich smiling at an appearance with President Barack Obama, noting that the Ohio governor welcomed the expansion of Medicaid, something many Republicans bitterly oppose.

The ad calls Kasich “Not a conservative. Not even a moderate.”

As a nonprofit, the conservative policy group does not have to disclose its donors. That sets it apart from the usual advertisers — candidates and super political action committees — which must regularly make public the names of their donors.

Kasich campaign spokesman Rob Nichols accused the ad’s producers of “shadowy, desperate, misleading attacks.”

“This is a perfect example of dark-money political spending,” said

Paul S. Ryan, deputy executive director of the Campaign Legal Center, which advocates for more campaign finance disclosure. “It’s an ad vetted by clever lawyers who know what they’re doing.”

That means that even though Kasich allies have complained to the Federal Election Commission about the “shady donors with concealed identities,” they’re likely to remain secret.

Nick Ryan, an Iowabased GOP strategist who founded American Future Fund in 2007, said he never reveals his contributors. The Kasich spot is the group’s first of the 2016 presidential race, and he said he deployed the ad because “until now, John Kasich has pretty much gotten a free pass.”

With no information, something of a parlor game developed as to who might be behind the ads — and whether it could be another candidate.

Kasich’s campaign is pointing to recent endorsement by almost all of New Hampshire’s daily newspapers, as well as one of the country’s largest — the Boston Globe — as evidence of growing momentum in support of the Ohio governor.

Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are trying to gain steam as the favorite candidate among traditional Republican Party voters, potentially enabling them to compete with frequent poll leaders Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Matt David, a Kasich supporter, said on Twitter that “multiple sources” said the ad is linked to

Right to Rise, a super PAC backing Bush. Right to Rise leader Mike Murphy responded on Twitter: “Nope. Not us. I think it is somebody else who likes dark money ads and needs more votes in NH fast.”

Murphy appeared to be pointing toward Marco Rubio, who has benefited from $11.6 million in supportive commercials paid for by the advocacy group Conservative Solutions Project — which, like American Future Fund, does not disclose its donors.

Jeff Sadosky, a spokesman for Conservative Solutions Project, said his group had nothing to do with the American Future Fund ad.

One reason to suspect a Bush tie is that American Future Fund and Right to Rise have a common admaker, Larry McCarthy.

The Bush super PAC also has recently begun using similar messages about Kasich in mailings to New Hampshire voters.

“I’m happy to see that we have other allies in the effort to educate voters about Kasich, but this wasn’t us,” McCarthy said about the American Future Fund ad.

American Future Fund overlaps with yet another presidential candidate: Mike Huckabee.

Nick Ryan leads a super PAC helping the former Arkansas governor, who has staked his candidacy on the Iowa caucuses next week and has done almost no politicking in New Hampshire.

Ryan said no candidate allies approached him about doing the ad.

The Boeing 777 final assembly line in Everett. The company confirmed Wednesday that the production rate of the classic model will be reduced between now and next year in a transition to the new 777X.

Boeing executives also confirmed plans to make more single-aisle 737s.

Workers at the company’s Renton plant assemble 42 a month now. That number is increasing to 47 in 2017, 52 the following year and 57 in 2019. Boeing could increase the 737 production rate to even 63 a month as it battles European rival Airbus Group for airplane sales.

“Generally speaking, increased rates require some level of increased employment,” Alder said.

“The planned rates and market demand mean that we see consistent levels of work for Boeing employees building the 737 in Renton for the foreseeable future,” he said.

Meanwhile, executives said Boeing has turned a corner on the 787 program, which became “cash positive” during the last three months of 2015. That means the company brought in

more money delivering 787s than it spent building the compositematerial jetliners.

That progress will start to show on the company’s balance sheet for the program by mid-year. By the end of December, Boeing had lost $32.4 billion building 363 787 Dreamliners.

That enormous number is expected to plateau this year, then decline. Many analysts, however, do not expect Boeing to ever make all of it back.

During the conference call, Boeing CEO and President Dennis Muilenburg was asked about negotiations with the white-collar union

representing Boeing engineers and technical workers. Muilenburg said he wants the company to “treat them with the respect that they deserve.”

Officials with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) have said that the company took a much more collaborative approach during recent contract negotiations.

Boeing’s labor relations were often strained during the tenure of Muilenburg’s predecessor, Jim McNerney, who stepped down last year.

Militants urged to ‘stand down’ Associated Press BURNS, Ore. — A day after eight members of an armed antigovernment group were arrested, their jailed leader Wednesday urged a handful of remaining militants to abandon the Oregon wildlife refuge they have occupied for more than three weeks and where they are now surrounded by federal agents.

After militant leader Ammon Bundy made his first court appearance in Portland on Wednesday, his attorney, Mike Arnold, read this statement from his client: “Please stand down.

Go home and hug your families.

This fight is now in the courts.”

It was unclear whether the remnant of Bundy’s followers still holed up at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge south of Burns was ready to heed his advice.

Meanwhile, details began to emerge about the confrontation Tuesday on a remote highway that resulted in the arrest of Bundy and other leading figures in the group of occupiers, and in the death of militant Robert “LaVoy” Finicum.

Bundy followers gave conflicting accounts of how Finicum died. One said Finicum charged at FBI agents, who then shot him.

A member of the Bundy family said Finicum did nothing to provoke the agents.

An Oregon man who says he

witnessed the shootout says he heard about a half-dozen shots but didn’t see anyone get hit, and that the shooting happened quickly — over maybe 12 or 15 seconds.

Raymond Doherty told KOIN-TV that he was about 100 feet back and couldn’t see who specifically was shooting. But, he added, “I saw them shooting at each other.”

There was no immediate way to confirm the accounts. Authorities refused to release any details about the encounter or even to verify that it was Finicum who was killed.

Also Wednesday, a federal judge in Portland unsealed a criminal complaint that said the armed group had explosives and nightvision goggles and that they were prepared to fight at the refuge or in the nearby town of Burns.

Someone told authorities about the equipment on Jan. 2, when the group took over Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, according to the document.

Bundy and the seven others are charged with felony counts of “conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats.”

The criminal complaint stresses that point. It states that the 16 employees at the wildlife refuge “have been prevented from reporting to work because of threats of violence posed by the defendants and others occupying

the property.”

Federal law officials and Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward held a news conference Wednesday in which they called on the rest of the occupiers to go home. There is a huge law enforcement presence in the region, and the FBI has now set up checkpoints outside the refuge.

FBI agent Greg Bretzing said people could leave through checkpoints “where they will be identified.” He did not say whether any of them face arrest.

He said negotiators were available to talk if they have “questions or concerns.”

Bretzing also defended the FBIled operation that resulted in the arrest of Bundy and other leaders, and in the death of Finicum. “I will say that the armed occupiers were given ample opportunities to leave peacefully,” he said.

Ward said multiple law-enforcement agencies put together “the best tactical plan they could.”

Bundy followers took to social media to offer conflicting accounts of Finicum’s final moments.

In a video posted to Facebook, Mike McConnell said he was driving a vehicle carrying Ammon Bundy and another occupier, Brian Cavalier. He said Finicum was driving a truck and with him were Ryan Bundy — Ammon’s brother — as well as three others.

He said the convoy was driving

through a forest when they were stopped by agents in heavy-duty trucks. He said agents first pulled him out of the vehicle, followed

by Ammon Bundy and Cavalier.

When agents approached the truck driven by Filicum, he drove off with officers in pursuit. McConnell said he did not see what happened next, but he heard from others who were in that vehicle that they encountered a roadblock.

The truck got stuck in a snowbank, and Finicum got out and “charged them. He went after them,” McConnell said.

Relatives of Ammon Bundy offered similar accounts, but they said Finicum did nothing to provoke FBI agents.

Briana Bundy, a sister of Ammon Bundy, said he called his wife after his arrest. He said the group was stopped by state and federal officers.

She said people in the two vehicles complied with instructions to get out with their hands up.

“LaVoy shouted, ‘Don’t shoot.

We’re unarmed,’ ” Briana Bundy said in an interview with The Associated Press. “They began to fire on them. Ammon said it happened real fast.”

“Ammon said, ‘They murdered him in cold blood. We did everything they asked, and they murdered him. We complied with their demands,’ ” she said.

Better life found in Skagit Valley

By Vince Richardson Skagit Valley Herald

LA CONNER — Getting to and from school used to be a challenge for Felix Lester.

He dodged drunks, drug dealers and the occasional fight to get to classes at Solen High School on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe reservation in North Dakota.

It’s what he had to do to get an education. It’s what he had to do to play basketball.

“It’s not much,” Lester said of the Standing Rock reservation.

“There is a lot of drug and alcohol abuse, and suicides. I’ve lost friends. I have friends who are involved in that stuff. I didn’t want to end up involved in that stuff.”

So Lester got out.

A member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Lester left behind his mother, father and three younger siblings to move in with an aunt and uncle on the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community reservation.

He knew this would be the place for him since coming for a visit this past summer.

“I loved it here,” Lester said.

“Wow! There were a lot of jobs. There were just a lot of opportunities.”

Life at Standing Rock The Standing Rock reservation spans about 2.3 million acres between North Dakota and South Dakota and has a population of about 4,000.

Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief who defeated General George Custer in 1876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, was a resident of the Standing Rock reservation.

Today, it’s an area awash in unemployment and poverty. Housing, health care, and educational and economic opportunities are lacking.

But that’s not to say living at Standing Rock was all bad.

When President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited the Standing Rock reservation in 2014, Lester sat within arm’s reach of the president.

“I sat right behind (the president) at the pow-wow,” Lester said. “I had friends who got to speak directly with him. I was happy about that because they got to tell the president what it’s like to live there.”

Lester was also part of an 18-student group invited by the president to spend three days in

BRANDY SHREVE / SKAGIT VALLEY HERALD

Felix Lester (center), 16, poses for a photo with his uncle, Ace Baker, and Baker’s wife, Marlys, at La Conner High School. Lester left a tribal reservation where he lived in North Dakota to move in with his aunt and uncle.

Washington, D.C., at a conference on American Indian youths and substance abuse.

But the bad Lester saw on the reservation far outweighed the good.

“There just isn’t anything to do (back home at Standing Rock),” he said. “There aren’t any opportunities. During the summer, there are some jobs for the youth cleaning at the casino.

“I wanted to do something more with my life. There was nothing for me in North Dakota.”

Basketball as an escape When Lester needed to get away from the problems of living on the reservation, he took to the basketball court, where his father coached him until the seventh grade.

“My dad taught me so much,” Lester said.

Last winter, in his sophomore season at Solen High School, he was coached by a former North Dakota high school player of the year. It had an immediate impact.

“I was going through a real tough time,” Lester said. “I did some things I am not proud of.

But I still had basketball and I have coach (Jeff) Brandt to thank for that.”

Lester said basketball, in particular nightly sessions at the Standing Rock Community Center, helped keep him out of trouble.

“On the weekends, we’d go there and play basketball until midnight,” Lester said. “After

school, we’d go play until 10 p.m.

The place is falling apart, but it’s something for the kids to do. It gives them an opportunity to play.”

Basketball has also helped him make the transition from living in North Dakota to living in the Skagit Valley.

Lester is playing on the varsity team at La Conner High School.

“Felix is just a great kid,” La Conner coach Scott Novak said.

“He is humble, polite, soft-spoken, and has fit in very well here.

“He’s seen a lot bad stuff and has had plenty of hardships to overcome.”

Making the move After visiting his aunt and uncle, Marlys and Ace Baker, on the Swinomish reservation last summer, a plan formed for Lester to move to the Skagit Valley.

Marlys Baker is a member of the Swinomish tribe and Ace Baker a member of the Sioux.

“It’s hard,” Ace Baker said about Lester leaving friends and family. “It’s a big move. I’m his godfather, so I am always there for him. We want to get everyone (in Lester’s family) out here. This is where we put down roots. There are a lot of opportunities here. There are colleges everywhere.”

Lester’s mother Jessica and father Jeremy backed the change.

They hope to move with their other children to the Skagit Valley this summer.

After his visit with the Bakers this summer, the plan was for Lester to quickly return to the Skagit Valley. But it took several months for Lester to make the move.

Those months were a rough period in his life.

“It was tough,” Lester said. “I went through some things. I was depressed and I did some things I am not particularly proud of.”

Eventually, he moved in with his aunt, uncle and their five sons, and enrolled at La Conner High School.

“He’s doing good with his studies,” Ace Baker said. “Basketball is important, but school comes first. Education is so important.”

Marlys Baker said Lester was able to avoid many of the pitfalls facing those at Standing Rock.

“He was raised right,” she said.

“He has been a good example for our boys.”

Lester won’t ever forget those he left behind.

“There are a lot of people, a lot of friends who are still there (on the reservation),” Lester said.

“They are stronger than me. They are still there. They have each other’s back. That’s the way it was when I was there. That’s the way it has to be.”

Lester sees himself as lucky.

“Around here they say the town (La Conner) is small,” Lester said.

“It’s big to me. I can’t wait for my mom and dad to move out here.

And maybe even a couple of my friends.”

Homeless weren’t targeted in shooting Seattle police seek suspects in attack that killed 2 and injured 3.

By Donna Blankinship and Lisa Baumann Associated Press

SEATTLE — A deadly shooting at a Seattle homeless encampment known as “The Jungle” was not prompted by malice against homeless people, the police chief said Wednesday.

A man and woman who lived at the camp were killed in the shooting Tuesday evening, and three other victims remained in serious condition.

“We have no evidence that they were targeted because they are homeless,” Chief Kathleen O’Toole told a City Council panel on Wednesday morning.

Officials with the King County Medical Examiner’s Office told The Associated Press on Wednesday afternoon that Jeannine L. Brooks, 45, and James Q. Tran, 33, both died of multiple gunshot wounds.

No arrests have been made.

Police said they believe the shooters weren’t homeless but were acquainted with the victims.

Investigators believe the shooting was a dispute involving low-level drug dealing, O’Toole said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

It was the second fatal attack at a homeless camp in Seattle within the past six months. In August, a homeless woman was beaten to death under a bridge and her husband was attacked.

Mayor Ed Murray and King County Executive Director Dow Constantine declared a state of emergency regarding homelessness in November, pledging more than $7 million to address the crisis.

“I can’t help but wonder, ‘Did I act too late?’ ” Murray said after the shooting Tuesday.

He added that “The Jungle” encampment “has been unmanageable and out of control for almost two decades.”

O’Toole said police officers and social workers have been visiting other nearby homeless camps to reassure people that they are not in danger because of the shooting.

Rocket battalion from JBLM Iraq-bound Associated Press TACOMA — Joint Base Lewis-McChord is preparing to send one of its artillery units to Iraq and Kuwait to help fight the Islamic State group.

The News Tribune reported that the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division is heading to Iraq to work with that country’s army and with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.

They’ll be joining about 3,500 U.S. military service members in Iraq. Defense Secretary Ash Carter outlined a plan earlier this month to help Iraq reclaim land the Islamic State seized almost two years ago, including the city of Mosul.

The battalion last served in Iraq in late 2011.

City of Mukilteo Notice of Approval The City of Mukilteo has APPROVED a Noise Variance, VARADMIN-2016-001 for nighttime work by the Washington State Ferries (WSF) under MMC 8.18, Noise Control, and WAC 173-60050, exemptions. The purpose of the Noise Variance is to allow nighttime construction by WSF to remove concrete and wood debris from the shoreline during low tide for approximately two (2) hours during the time period of six (6) p.m. to ten (10) p.m.

APPLICANT: Olivier Richer, Chief Inspector Washington State Ferries 2901 3rd Ave, Ste 500 Seattle, WA 98121 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: WSF has applied for a noise variance to conduct work on the removal of debris from the shoreline for the new Mukilteo Ferry Terminal outside of the approved construction hours of seven (7) a.m. to six (6) p.m. WSF has requested this variance the nighttime work will allow the project to be completed in less time and with minimal community impacts. The work involves the use a single excavator on the beach at low tide in which the lighting (from the excavator) would be directed toward the beach and/or the bottom of the bulkhead. The noise should be limited to the single use of an excavator and workers talking. The removal of the debris will benefit shoreline protection during the time between the completion of Phase 1 and start of Phase 2 construction. The removal of the debris should take approximately an hour of time once the equipment is in place. Only the debris that would exacerbate erosion is being removed. The rest will provide shoreline protection and be removed during the Phase 2 construction.

The Mukilteo Planning and Community Development Director may grant a variance to the construction noise under Mukilteo Municipal Code (MMC) 9.46.080(B) Public Nuisances and finds the improvements to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal to be essential to the operation of the overall ferry system.

LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The new Mukilteo Ferry Terminal location PROJECT DECISION The project was reviewed for consistency with the standards and regulations of the City of Mukilteo and State of Washington Administrative Code and is hereby APPROVED. Copies of the Notice of Approval are available from the City of Mukilteo, Planning Dept., 11930 Cyrus Way, Mukilteo, WA 98275. Contact: Linda Ritter, Associate Planner (425) 263-8043.

APPEALS: Any person aggrieved by the granting of this variance may appeal the decision to the Pollution Control Hearings Board, pursuant to RCW 43.21B under the procedures of WAC Chapter 371 08.

Stanwood wrestling team forfeits league schedule

By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

STANWOOD — The Stanwood High School wrestling team has forfeited its final six dual meets of the 2015-16 season — including the entirety of its Wesco 3A North slate — because since the beginning of January the Spartans have

not been able to field a lineup of the seven wrestlers needed to constitute a legal match.

Stanwood athletic director Tom Wilfong said a combination of athletic code violations, academic ineligibility and skin conditions have reduced the already-small roster to below competition levels.

“We started the season with 20 wrestlers, and since the numbers were low to start, the issues did have more of an effect than they normally would have,” Wilfong said in an e-mail Tuesday.

Stanwood had six wrestlers disciplined for athletic code violations, and two wrestlers were unable to compete after picking

up skin conditions that are common to the sport. Wilfong said the number of wrestlers academically ineligible for competition has varied from week to week.

Wilfong said that the skin conditions were confined to the two wrestlers, and the health department was not involved.

The Spartans sent four wrestlers

to the Graham Morin Memorial tournament in Bellingham — three freshmen and a sophomore — on Dec. 19, and after the holiday break, Stanwood has forfeited to Kamiak in a non-league dual on Jan. 5, and to Marysville Getchell (Jan. 7), Marysville See STANWOOD, Page C4

UW’s young roster still learning how to defend Huskies lead the Pac-12 in steals, but allow opponents to shoot 50.2 percent from the field in the second half.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

“It’s been a lot of fun so far,” Hart said. “Coming here and seeing all your buddies that you played with in the summer and seeing them and getting this opportunity is really special.”

Legendary NHL defenseman Bobby Orr, coaches the team that bears his name and currently holds a five-game winning streak over the team led by former NHL head coach and broadcaster Don Cherry.

Hart’s teammates Thursday include the likes of Matthew Tkachuk of the OHL’s London Knights, the top-rated North American skater, Alexander Nylander of the OHL’s Mississauga

LOS ANGELES — Andrew Andrews was a freshman — not even a freshman, really, because it was still summer — when he realized just how much defensive effort the college game would demand.

It was his first open gym session at the University of Washington. Scott Suggs, then a junior UW guard, was guarding another player off the ball, and he was denying the passing lanes like crazy.

“And I’m thinking, ‘man, this is open gym, what are they doing?’”

Andrews said earlier this season.

Suggs told him that’s simply the way the Huskies play defense.

“I’ll never be able to do that,” Andrews thought, recalling that he mostly “played no defense” in high school.

This is a shared experience for many college basketball players, even those who thought they played pretty good defense in high school. It’s simply far more difficult at the college level, and far more important, and emphasized with far more diligence by college coaches.

Which means this year’s Huskies, tied for first place in the Pac-12 as they prepare for Wednesday night’s game at UCLA, are in a particularly interesting position.

Andrews is the only senior in UW’s eight-man rotation. Six of

Silvertips goaltender Carter Hart defends against the Thunderbirds’ Nolan Volcan during a game on Oct. 24 at Xfinity Arena in Everett.

‘ONE STEPPING STONE’ Silvertips’ Hart excited for chance to play in Top Prospects Game

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Everett Silvertips goaltender Carter Hart made his way along the rubber mats laid over the concrete en route the Pacific Coliseum ice with the rest of Team Orr Wednesday afternoon.

As he did so, Moose Jaw Warriors netminder Zach Sawchenko, who is playing for Team Cherry at Thursday night’s BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, shot Hart a smile and a nod.

“Looking good, Hartsie,” Sawchenko told his off-ice friend and on-ice adversary, as Hart trudged by.

Hart and Sawchenko, ranked

Nos. 1 and 3, respectively among North American goaltenders in the current NHL Central Scouting rankings, are among the top 40 draft-eligible CHL players here at the Top Prospects Game.

It’s the first time Vancouver has played host to the event since 2005.

“We’re competitors, but we’re friends off the ice,” Sawchenko said. “On the ice I think both of us can say we’ll do anything for our teams to win, but off the ice we’re good friends.”

The event included combinelike on-ice testing Wednesday and media sessions afterward.

The game itself begins at 6 p.m.

Thursday night and will be televised on NHL Network.

For many the midweek event also serves as a reunion of sorts.

EDMONDS — The competition between the Shorewood and Edmonds-Woodway girls basketball teams couldn’t get much more even.

Earlier in the season the Warriors defeated the Thunderbirds by six points. The Thunderbirds returned the favor Wednesday with a six-point win of their own, defeating Edmonds-Woodway 61-55 in overtime. The win pulled the Thunderbirds (5-4 league, 10-7 overall) even with the Warriors (5-4, 10-7) for third place

among 3A teams in the Wesco 3A South, which also includes Shorecrest, a 2A school.

“I don’t spend too much time looking at the postseason numbers, I just try to take it game by game,” Shorewood head coach Mark Haner said after the win.

“We’ve looked a little at it and we knew this was a big one because Shorecrest got us on Saturday.”

The Warriors led 7-2 early in the first quarter, but Shorewood junior Jalyn Hizey kept her team in the game. She connected on three 3-pointers in the first See T-BIRDS, Page C2

Olympic champion Ligety injured in training crash Associated Press Olympic and world giant slalom champion Ted Ligety used Facebook and Instagram to reveal he tore the ACL in his right knee during a training mishap in Oberjoch, Germany on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old from Utah also posted video of the wipeout, along with the hash tags “bummerdude,” “lamecrash,” and “Illbeback.”

The U.S. Ski Team said in a release only that Ligety suffered a knee injury and will head home to be evaluated.

he talent was there, but the blackmouth were (mostly) missing.

Many of Northwest Washington’s best salmon anglers showed up last weekend for the 13th running of the prestigious Roche Harbor Salmon Classic, but after some 345 highliners pounded San Juan Islands hot spots for two days, the catch results were underwhelming.

This year’s winner, for instance, would not have made last year’s top five.

Derby coordinator Debbie Sandwith at the Roche Harbor Market said the event sold its self-imposed ticket quota by Nov. 23, and that all 100 boats answered the bell despite lousy weather conditions for the Friday opener. A total of 345 anglers weighed 53 chinook on Friday, and 39 more on Saturday for a total of 92 fish. That stacks up poorly against last year’s weighin of 147 chinook.

First place and $10,000 went to Duke Fisher of Burlington, for a chinook of 17 pounds, 12 ounces. That’s a nice takeaway for a nice fish, but last year’s big money went to a 22-pound, 3-ouncer caught by David Reep of Mount Vernon.

“Uncle” Pete Nelson of Shaw Island won $5,000 for second place, at 17 pounds, 2 ounces; third and $3,000 went to Blake Stiller of Anacortes, at 16 pounds, 6 ounces; fourth and $2,000 to Troy Jenisen, also of Anacortes, at 14 pounds, 7 ounces; and fifth to Ralph Thomas of Puyallup, who pocketed $1,000 for a 14-pound, 1-ounce blackmouth.

And how’s this for the majorleague lineup that nailed the Best Boat Total Weight: Derek Floyd, Scott Bumstead, Lance Husby and Kyle Reep. These guys know which end of the rod points toward the fish, and they produced 48 pounds, 9 ounces of chinook in six fish for their payday of $2,000.

Thomas Cahill of Everett won the mystery fish prize of $2,000,

and the youngest angler award went to 8-year old Christian Thomas of Puyallup, entered in his third Roche Harbor derby.

Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said many of the derby fish came from spots such as Spring Pass and President Channel, and that a high percentage of the anglers were fishing bait.

“Big herring,” he said. “A lot of the guys subscribe to the ‘big bait, big fish’ theory.”

Other areas in the islands putting out at least fair fishing, John said, include Parker Reef, Lopez Pass, Eagle Bluff and Thatcher Pass and, when the weather allows, the offshore banks.

Local blackmouth All Star Charters owner/skipper Gary Krein of Everett said Marine Area 9 has been slow to fair since it reopened Jan. 16, but that there are “a few fish in spots if you put in your time.” He’s been working the Pilot Point-Double Bluff-Possession Bar triangle and taking a 6- or 7-pound blackmouth at each of those spots.

None of the three has been better than the others, he said.

There are still shakers in the area, but not as many as there were in areas 8-1 and 8-2 earlier in the season, when wild-stock shaker mortality was deemed a problem by the state.

Krein said that, in his opinion, there doesn’t seem to be any risk to the (wild stock chinook) quota from the fish population he’s seeing in Area 9.

Spoons have been the topproducing lure, Krein said — Coho Killers in green/silver UV at Double Bluff and Pilot Point, and the larger Kingfisher Lite in green on Possession Bar. A 100- to 120-foot line would be a good starting depth at all three spots, he said.

There’s not a lot of bait showing

brought to Puyallup include the kids’ free trout pond, a 3-D archery range, the Lowrance Electronics Center, fly tying/casting, the “indoor river,” the cowboy fast-draw, significant elk mounts, a head and horns competition, and the popular camp cooking tent.

New this time around is the “$1 million Bi-Mart Ammo Sale,” offering a chance for hunters and shooting enthusiasts to stock up at big savings.

Hours are Thursday and Friday, noon to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults and $5 for juniors ages 6-16. Admission is free for children 5 and under.

anywhere in the area.

Good book A mover and shaker, and one of my favorite people in the Northwest salmon sport fishing scene, has written a book that all serious saltwater anglers should read.

The author is Frank Haw, retired fishery biologist, avid salmon fisherman, and one in a position of influence in the state Fisheries Department during an era of chaotic change. Back in the day, Haw was just about the only recreational advocate in a department tuned to the commercial fishing lobby, and that slant eventually put an end to his career.

Haw worked his way up the Fisheries Department ladder, starting as a newly minted biologist and ending as an assistant director. A lot of sport fishermen in the state thought that, at one point, he would be appointed by the governor to serve as director of the department, and fishing clubs and individual anglers brought as much clout to bear as we could (which wasn’t much in those days).

But the commercial industry wasn’t about to let that happen, and Haw was bypassed.

He retired from Fisheries and took a position with a private marine technology firm, and now has brought his enormous knowledge of the workings of the resource department to bear in “Washington’s Sport of Kings: Views of a Fisheries Insider.”

This is not a “fishing” book, as such, although there is a helping of rod-and-reel action. It’s value lies in what Haw knows about the workings of the agency, the politics, the years of major fishing-rule changes, the “Indian wars,” the Endangered Species Act and more. Haw knows how we got where we are today, and lays it out in all its frustration. If you have ever complained about fisheries mismanagement in our state, you need to read the book.

T-birds

Land acquisition The state is proposing acquisition of two parcels of land in Snohomish County as wetland mitigation for hunting access and other public recreation lost to salmon habitat restoration. The first is 13 acres on Ebey Island, just south of Highway 2, which would provide public boat access to the middle portion of the island, increasing opportunity for waterfowl hunting.

The second is 280 acres near Monroe, just south of Highway 2 and east of State Route 203, that would become part of the state’s Snoqualmie Wildlife Area. It would provide waterfowl hunting opportunities, along with a pheasant release site.

quarter, though her team trailed 19-13 heading into the second period thanks to an 8-2 run by Edmonds-Woodway.

Hizey scored six more points in the early moments of the second quarter and helped her team gain its first lead since it led 2-0 in the first quarter with her fourth 3-pointer of the game. Shorewood’s 16-4 run to start the quarter quickly turned a six-point deficit into a sixpoint lead.

The Thunderbirds never trailed again and Hizey finished with a game-high 22 points.

“Jalyn has been playing really, really well for us lately,” Haner said.

“I think Woodway really tried to focus on taking away Taryn (Shelley) and Lily (Gustafson) and I think Jalyn did a great job of taking advantage of that and putting up the outside shots. Our frontcourt is a real problem for a lot of people and Jalyn is a fantastic shooter. Any given night she can really, really go off.”

Hizey’s 15-point first half caused the Warriors to switch to a box-andone defense in the second half, but that only seemed to open up the game for her teammates.

“Since they were trying so hard to take away me, it helped when they were basically doubling me and it left another player open,” Hizey said. “My teammates did a really good job of knocking down shots.”

Gustafson and Shelley combined to score six points in the first half, but had 18 combined after halftime.

“We went on a nice run to start (the third quarter) there and it was mostly because they were focusing hard on (Jalyn),” Haner said.

“It’s hard to guard us in general, but especially with a frontcourt like that it’s hard to guard 4-on-4. You just can’t afford to help anywhere. We took advantage of that.”

Shorewood’s Lily Gustafson (left) surveys the court with EdmondsWoodway’s Marivel Ortega defending during a game Wednesday in Edmonds.

The Thunderbirds beat the Warriors 61-55 in overtime.

Shorewood led by as many as nine in the third quarter, but Edmonds-Woodway cut the deficit to three going into the fourth.

Shorewood led throughout the fourth quarter, but Missy Peterson’s 3-pointer with 55 seconds remaining tied the game at 50 and eventually forced overtime.

The extra stanza belonged to Shorewood, which didn’t allow Edmonds-Woodway to score until there were 22 seconds to go and the outcome was no longer in doubt.

“We just started hitting a few of the shots that we had been taking and made sure we took care of the ball,” Haner said. “The first possession of overtime we took three really good shots, but we just happened to miss them all. We got the ball back in to Lily on the next possession and she scored. Seeing the lid come off on that one did a lot for us. A team like Woodway, they’re going to make some shots and we got them to miss their first few and that’s huge too.”

BREAKING DOWN THE

Lynch’s future is the $11.5 million question

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

Here’s the second of a series looking at where the Seahawks stand, position by position, heading into the offseason.

The salary numbers for 2016 are courtesy of OverTheCap.com. Players signed to futures contracts are not included.

Unrestricted free agents can sign with any team. Seattle can match any offer to a restricted free agent or receive compensation if that player signs with another team.

RUNNING BACK Under contract: Marshawn Lynch ($11,500,000), Thomas Rawls ($530,000) Unrestricted free agents: Fred Jackson, Bryce Brown Restricted free agents: Christine Michael The skinny: Perhaps the biggest question of the offseason is what do the Seahawks do with Lynch? Lynch is a Seattle icon for all he’s done for the team over the years. But he will be 30 next season, which is ancient by NFL running back standards, and this season he showed the first signs of breaking down

Editor’s note Here’s the second of a seven-part series in which Herald writer Nick Patterson takes a position-by-position look at where the Seattle Seahawks stand heading into the offseason.

Today: Running backs, fullbacks Friday: Offensive line

Seahawks will have to pony up to keep him. It seems unlikely Seattle would sign Jackson, 35, for another season, though he was useful as a third-down back. It would be a surprise if Brown is brought back.

As long as the team thinks Rawls will be healthy, running back probably won’t be a priority target in the draft, regardless of what happens with Lynch.

But another body could be needed.

FULLBACK physically. Seattle can save $6,500,000 against the salary cap if it parts ways with Lynch.

The Lynch decision may be made easier by the emergence of Rawls, who was a revelation in Lynch’s absence.

Rawls led the league with an average of 5.6 yards per carry and displayed a Lynch-like penchant for running through contact. He also has a very capfriendly number. The question about Rawls is whether he’ll be completely healed from his broken ankle in time for next season.

As for back-ups, Michael came back from exile to put himself into the picture, but as a restricted free agent the

Under contact: none Unrestricted free agent: Will Tukuafu Restricted free agent: Derrick Coleman The skinny: The Seahawks’ offensive system requires a fullback, so they have to have someone. Tukuafu offers value because of his versatility, but he’s 32.

Coleman seems like someone Seattle could bring back for the right price as he’s also a contributor on special teams, but there still may be fallout from his arrest during the regular season. This is a position the Seahawks may address in free agency or the draft, but don’t expect them to divert many resources this direction.

COMMENTARY | NFL

Panthers’ Newton is the most polarizing figure in Super Bowl 50

C

am Newton scares people.

I have seen this up close. He scares defensive backs 60 pounds lighter than he is trying to tackle him. He scares some little kids because he looks like a giant, which is why he drops to one knee so often to talk to them.

And he scares some conservative folks, and some folks in the football establishment, and some folks who don’t cotton to dancing, and a few folks who are — no two ways about it — just plain prejudiced.

This is a topic that Newton has danced around for most of his five years in the NFL. He stopped dancing Wednesday.

“I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people,” Newton said, “because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.”

Based on the e-mails I have received for five years on this topic — some of them thoughtful, some of them hateful — he is right.

People like boxes. Cam Newton has turned out to be too big to fit into any of them.

A running quarterback?

An athletic quarterback? A black quarterback?

Yes, Newton is all of those. He’s also a pocket passer. A leader. A winner.

A soon-to-be NFL MVP. Does he show off after a first down? Lord, yes.

Has he established a “Sunday giveaway” tradition with footballs and kids that has become one of the most delightful NFL traditions ever? Lord, yes.

He has been criticized ever since he made it into the NFL, and yet in five years in Charlotte I’ve never seen him embarrass the Carolina Panthers organization.

I have seen him pace a team that is 17-1 this season and going to the Super Bowl next week. I have seen him interact as easily and frequently with children as any athlete I’ve ever been around.

“I’m comfortable with the position that I’m in right now,” Newton said.

And, he added, both he and the Panthers could “care less what you say” if you don’t like them.

“Now the true fans,” Newton continued, “they know what’s up. They’re going to be supportive

BOB LEVERONE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton: “I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people, because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.”

whatever happens. ... But people are going to judge and have their own opinion on certain things that I don’t have control over.”

Of course, Newton does have control over some things, and he chooses to do them anyway. This season he has torn down a Green Bay banner, thrown a Seattle “12th Man” flag, treated the end zone like his personal dance club and organized photo ops on the sideline while the game is still going on.

Some people absolutely love him for all of that. That crowd skews toward the younger side (although certainly there are some older people who love him, too).

And some people absolutely can’t stand that sort of stuff, including former NFL stars such as Dick Butkus and Richard Dent. Too brash, they say. Too showy.

Newton will be the most polarizing figure playing in the Feb. 7 Super Bowl, and it’s quite possible he will also be the best player. Whatever he does on Super Bowl Sunday, though, he promises he will stay true to himself.

“When I look in the mirror, it’s me, you know what I’m saying?” Newton said.

“Nobody changed me.

Nobody made me act this certain type of way. And I’m true to my roots. And it feels great.”

Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who became a head coach the same year that Newton was drafted in 2011, seemed puzzled as to why Newton is still polarizing to some.

“It’s funny we still fight that battle — based on what?” Rivera asked. “He’s been in conversations every year for awards. This year he’s in the conversation for MVP. I still don’t get why he has to (be criticized). And maybe there are some people out there who are concerned with who he is, which I think is terrible. I really do.”

Rivera noted that Newton has never wanted to be known as “just a black quarterback.”

“I’m kind of in the same boat,” Rivera said. “Some people want to tag me as a Hispanic head coach.

That’s great, but the truth of the matter is I just want to be tagged as a head coach.

It should really be about your merit.”

Yes, it should, and Newton has had a very meritorious season.

Scare people? Yeah, he does — but most of them should be defensive coordinators.

“I think people ought to be scared of a quarterback with his skill set more than anything else,” Rivera said. “He’s a tremendously gifted athlete, a terrific quarterback, a smart football player. ... He’s always strived to get that separation. I don’t think he wants to be known as an AfricanAmerican quarterback. I think he wants to be known as a quarterback — and a great one at that. That’s what drives him.”

Newton said that he tries to reserve judgment on others because of the judgments that have been heaped upon him dating back to his college days at Auburn and the “pay-forplay” scandal that involved his father and Mississippi State. The NCAA determined Cam Newton and Auburn were innocent of wrongdoing in the case.

“I have come to this point in my life where I’ve been faced with so much from good, bad or indifferent,” Newton said, “that I try to check myself if I’m trying to judge somebody. I think we all are guilty of it at times.

And if we look in the mirror, look in our own closet, we see that we’re not perfect.”

It’s interesting that Newton knew that he was opening this can of worms Wednesday and chose to open it anyway. Before issuing the “scare a lot of

people” quote that now will be repeated constantly between now and Super Bowl Sunday, the quarterback thought carefully.

“I think that’s a trick question,” Newton said when asked why he has become a lightning rod for criticism.

“Because if I answer it truthfully, it’s going to be, ‘Aw, he’s this and that.’”

Newton paused.

“But I’m going to say it anyway,” he said.

At 26, Newton long ago realized he will never please everyone. But he has grown up some, even though he likes to say he is exactly the same person who strode out of Auburn in 2011 as Carolina’s No. 1 draft pick.

And he does understand what will make him even more popular on Feb. 7. It is something that he is much more in his control of than a letter to the editor.

“Find any way — any way — to win a football game,” Newton said. “Because when you win, that’s going to give them something else to talk about.”

Seahawks’ Wilson first pick in Pro Bowl draft

By Kalani Takase Associated Press

WAHIAWA, Hawaii — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was selected with the first pick in the Pro Bowl draft on Wednesday.

Wilson was chosen

by Michael Irvin, who is serving as a Pro Bowl legend captain opposite fellow Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for Sunday’s game.

Rice took New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning with his first pick, the second overall in the draft.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones went with the third choice to Team Irvin, and Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack was drafted

by Team Rice with the fourth pick.

Irvin took defensive players with his next three picks — Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah and Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett — before drafting wide receivers A.J. Green of the Bengals and DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans in the sixth and seventh

rounds, respectively.

Rice selected Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry with his third pick and went with the Raiders’ duo of quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Amari Cooper with his next two selections before taking the first running back, Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson, with his seventh-round pick.

Thirty-four players — mostly linemen and special teams players — were pre-drafted on Tuesday for the NFL’s all-star game. Forty-eight players were drafted or assigned Wednesday.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald are serving as active-player captains for Team Rice, while Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman and Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Geno Atkins are captains for Team Irvin.

Manning will be reunited with Beckham, his Giants’ teammate.

The Pro Bowl will be played Sunday at Aloha Stadium.

By John Pye Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams provided another reminder of her dominance in women’s tennis with a 6-0, 6-4 win in the Australian Open semifinals against Agnieszka Radwanska, who is soon to move to the No. 3 ranking.

Six-time champion Williams has never lost a semifinal or final at the Australian Open, and is an overwhelming favorite to win her seventh title at Melbourne Park and claim a 22nd major. That would pull her even with Steffi Graf for the most majors in the Open era and secondmost in history behind Margaret Court’s 24.

The first set was no contest, over in 20 minutes.

Williams hit 18 winners and Radwanska, in her fifth major semifinal, had one — in the fourth game.

The second set was closer, with Radwanska holding serve three times and breaking Serena’s powerful serve once. But the 34-year-old Williams lifted again to finish it off,

Serena Williams celebrates after defeating Agnieszka Radwansk, 6-0, 6-4, in their semifinal match at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday.

winning the last eight points and closing with three aces and a big forehand winner.

Despite all her success, it is a loss that is inspiring Williams in this tournament. She was two wins away from a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015 when she lost to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals.

“Physically I’m feeling a lot better, mentally I needed that break after the Open,” she said. “I didn’t think I would do this well this fast.

“I’m really excited to be in the final — it just kind of blows my mind right now.”

Williams remains unbeaten in nine matches against Radwanska, whom she beat in the 2012 Wimbledon final. She’ll meet No. 7-seeded Angelique Kerber, who defeated No. 47-ranked Johanna Konta, 7-5, 6-2, in Thursday’s other semifinal.

Radwanksa said there will little she could do in the first set to combat Williams, “she started

unbelievable, with such a power and speed. I was just standing there kind of watching her playing.”

“I had my little chance in second set, especially when it was 4-all,” she said, “But otherwise just too good.

“You know, if she’s playing her game, it’s a different level. .... I don’t think anyone (else) can really play on that level.”

With the roof on Rod Laver Arena closed because of a thunderstorm closing in, the most obvious noise in the first set was the chirping of trapped birds who’d taken shelter in the stadium.

The chirping intensified as Williams served in the sixth game of the second set, and she looked up angrily after her off-balance forehand from the baseline conceding her only service break of the match.

Williams finished with eight aces — all in the second set — and has dropped only 26 games in six rounds in a dominating run that included a 6-4, 6-1 win over No. 5 Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals, a rematch of the 2015 final.

Sounders head to Arizona for desert training

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — The Seattle Sounders ended the first phase of preseason camp Wednesday with their fourth training session at Starfire Sports Complex.

On Thursday, they fly to Arizona for two weeks of desert training, including the first three friendlies.

“Obviously, (we will) continue our fitness,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “But it’s also now to work really on our tactics. I wanted them to play and work hard here and get some fitness stuff in. Conceptually we’ve talked about a few ideas, but (Arizona is) really to work on tactics and how we want to play.”

In addition to practices — including several two-a-day sessions — the Sounders will play desert friendlies Wednesday against Vancouver, Feb. 6 against Portland and Feb. 9 against Celaya FC of Mexico. The latter was scheduled with an eye to the Sounders’ first meaningful matches of the new year, the home-and-away CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series against Club America of Mexico City on Feb. 23 and March 2.

That may seem distant for fans,

Wilfong said Stanwood also will forfeit its regular-season finale against Everett at home on Thursday, but the Spartans will wrestle exhibition matches against the Seagulls.

“Since we cannot field a lineup of seven or more wrestlers, it will still be a forfeit,” he said.

Tuesday’s dual meet at Oak Harbor was set to be Senior Night for the Wildcats. After learning Monday morning that Stanwood planned to forfeit, Oak Harbor coach Larry Falcon scrambled to find an opponent for his team to preserve Senior Night.

Steelheads (No. 3-ranked skater) and Pierre-Luc Dubois of Cape Breton of the QMJHL (No. 7).

Sawchenko will play behind Jakob Chychrun of the OHL’s Sarnia Sting (No. 2-ranked skater), Julien Gauthier of the Val-d’Or Foreurs of the QMJHL (No. 4) and Michael McLeod of Mississauga (No. 6).

Unlike traditional all-star games, the Top Prospects Game has a reputation for being very competitive.

Players are in their draft year and looking to improve their stock any way they can.

The players’ competitiveness caught Cherry by surprise when he first started coaching the event.

“It was like the seventh game of

but Schmid noted the competition may arrive ahead of full club fitness.

“Our preseason is too short with the Champions League games,” Schmid said. “We start at the same time that the other MLS teams start, but they don’t have to play a game until 10 days later. It makes it a little more difficult, and I think it puts the players into a little more jeopardy of injury because they’re not entirely fit. I think it affects maybe your tactics going into those games because you know you’re not really going to be able to play a 90-minute game; you might have to cut that game somehow to 75 minutes of effort. I think it puts a strain on everything.”

While time is short, Schmid is grateful at least that most of his team is together from the start. That wasn’t the case a season ago when Clint Dempsey was away on national team duty and Osvaldo Alonso was dealing with injury, and players such as Nelson Valdez, Andreas Ivanschitz and Erik Friberg weren’t yet Sounders.

“It’s good for (Dempsey) to get in a preseason with us because he’s never had a real strong preseason with us based on just the timing and the national team camps and everything else,” Schmid said. “... It helps having Clint. It helps having Friberg

here from the beginning; Valdez from the beginning; Ivanschitz from the beginning.”

Dempsey said national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann gave him a choice of training with the Sounders or with the USA in Carson, California.

“He sent a text to me, said some of the older-age players weren’t probably going to be involved and said it’s kind of up to you to make the decision,” Dempsey said. “I thought it was best for me and how I build my body for the year to do it here.”

Alonso also declared himself fully fit after a series of injuries limited him to 22 league appearances in 2015 — the fewest of his seven seasons in Seattle.

“This year is different, I start with everybody during preseason,” Alonso said. “I hope this year is better for me. I’m prepared for doing the best for the team.”

The only key players missing the early days of this camp are central defender Roman Torres, who is expected to miss the first half of the season with a knee injury, and defender Brad Evans and rookie forward Jordan Morris, both away at national team camp.

Evans and Morris are expected to join the Sounders in Arizona.

Anacortes agreed to travel to Oak Harbor and lost 65-12. The Wildcats celebrated the careers of four senior wrestlers and one student manager before the match.

“We heard Monday morning that Stanwood was not going to be able to field a team, and between teaching classes I was able to get a hold of Anacortes and they were willing to come down and wrestle us,” Falcon said. “My hat’s off to them. They’re outstanding individuals who were willing to come down at a moment’s notice. Not many teams would be willing to come and wrestle and take a loss such as this. We really appreciated it.”

Wilfong declined to elaborate on the nature of the athletic code violations that forced the suspension of the six Stanwood wrestlers, but he said those disciplined would be

eligible to compete at the Class 3A sub-regional tournament, which the Spartans are scheduled to host Feb. 5-6.

He added that the athletic department would continue its typical grade checks to determine the academic eligibility for all wrestlers.

This season’s struggles are in marked contrast to last year’s success for the Stanwood wrestling program under coach Ray Mather, who did not return messages seeking comment for this story.

In 2014-15, the Spartans finished 11th in the 3A team standings at Mat Classic, powered by West Weinert’s individual state title at 138 pounds and Garret Arrona’s second-place finish at 195.

Weinert, Arrona and Anthony Ortega, who placed sixth at 182, graduated in 2015.

the Stanley Cup and they were ready to go,” Cherry said. “No kidding around. It’s like the dressing room here. You’d think the kids would be throwing tape and having fun, but they know there’s going to be 200 scouts and general managers and everything out there.”

Hart, who is about as unflappable as 17-year-olds come, isn’t getting caught up in either the rankings or the bevy of scouts who will be present.

“It’s just one game, right?” he said.

“It’s not going to dictate your future.

We have 30 regular-season games left and it’s just one stepping stone.”

Hart has received attention all season long, but the degree of attention has ramped up considerably since the draft rankings came out last week. He’s the first Silvertips goaltender to hit the No. 1 ranking in team history.

Dan Marr, the director of NHL Central Scouting, said Hart’s focus and

mental toughness make him stand out among other elite goaltenders.

“He’s got all the athletic abilities of quickness and reflexes that you want to see in goalies, but his concentration — the way he can track and follow the puck — he’s just sharp,” Marr said. “He’s mentally sharp all the time. He arrives on time, he sees the play develop and he’s very, very focused. That mental toughness is the key ingredient for a player that wants to play in the National Hockey League.”

Hart did allow himself to break into an easy smile during Wednesday afternoon’s on-ice session. If he continues to play as well as he has this season, that smile will be even bigger in June when he hears his name called from the stage at the NHL draft in Buffalo, N.Y.

breakdowns than Romar would like, and those breakdowns have frequently occurred after halftime. In UW’s seven Pac-12 games this season, opponents are shooting 50.2 percent from the field in the second half, a big reason why the Huskies rank 10th in the league in field-goal percentage defense in conference games.

Some breakdowns, of course, are to be expected. The Huskies run a unique defensive scheme. They switch every screen,

the others are freshmen, and one is a junior-college transfer playing his first season of Division 1 basketball.

It’s an undeniably athletic crew — maybe the most athletic team UW coach Lorenzo Romar has assembled — and for

Kelowna 45/30

Redding 60/53

that reason, the Huskies play a switcheverything, man-to-man style of defense designed to force turnovers and fuel their transition offense.

At times, it works pretty well: the Huskies lead the Pac-12 in steals (7.9 per game) and opponent turnovers (16.6) in all games and in conference games, and that kind of production is the backbone of their preferred pace — fast.

But there have also been more

because Romar believes even the team’s big men — Marquese Chriss, Noah Dickerson and Malik Dime — are athletic and quick-footed enough to guard any other player on the floor in a 1-on-1 situation, and when a guard is switched onto a forward, the Huskies front the post and bring help from the weakside.

(Romar contends that this doesn’t lead to as many big-small mismatches as it might appear, partially because the switching is designed to take the opposing offense out of its typical sets and force them to scramble.)

That’s a lot for a group of freshmen to digest in their first season.

“There’s an art to it,” Romar said. “There’s a certain way. ... You have to teach it, you have to be fundamentally sound in it, or it won’t work. You can’t just say, ‘you switch, you switch,’ or teams will expose you.”

Perhaps the most difficult aspect to fully understand and apply, though, is learning to be OK with allowing backdoor cuts. The Huskies are taught to deny the passing lanes so fervently that it’s natural for opponents to make those kind of cuts, and Romar says the Huskies’ defense accounts for that — again, if passing-lane denial prompts an opponent to change direction and sprint toward the hoop, another UW player is supposed to be in position with weakside help.

That takes a while to get used to, Andrews said (and it’s worth noting that even he hasn’t played this style of defense his whole career, because the Huskies went away from it the last two seasons due to insufficient personnel).

“I think that’s probably our biggest improvement so far,” Andrews said.

Matisse Thybulle, a 6-foot-5 freshman starter from Sammamish, might be UW’s most gifted defensive player. His arms are long enough that he can deflect passes that others can’t, and he’s quick enough to cover mistakes made by others.

Still, learning the system took time. It’s mostly about trust, he said.

“You’ve got to trust that if you’re going to be in the lane denying, that someone’s got your back in the paint for that backdoor cut,” Thybulle said. “And there’s a couple other times in our defense where you’ve just got to trust that someone’s going to be there to make the right play.”

Romar said that sometimes, he watches his team and sees “tremendous progress” defensively. But the Huskies have to correct their second-half habits if they are to remain atop the conference.

Or, in matters more imminent, if they are to beat UCLA or USC. “There has been slippage in the second half, and that’s what’s hurt us,” Romar said.

“We have to be able to maintain that level of defense for 40 minutes.”

Erica Strauss is an Edmonds blogger and author of the book “The Hands-On Home.” She writes about gardening, cooking, home care and more, with a focus on environmental sustainability.

PERFECTLY PRACTICAL Erica Strauss’ ‘The Hands-on Home’ a real page-turner of sustainable ideas

By Aaron Swaney Special to The Herald

In the middle of the process of writing her book, “The Hands-On Home,” Erica Strauss invited a friend over for a visit. What her friend walked into was something she’d never seen before: A Strauss home disaster. Toys were strewn everywhere, jars and bottles full of jams and vinegar concoctions crowded the countertops and carboys full of fermenting liquids were stacked around the kitchen.

“My friend walks in and says, ‘I’ve never seen your house like this,’ ” Strauss said. “That’s the irony: Writing a book about home care made my house completely fall apart temporarily.”

Strauss’ recently released book, “The Hands-On Home,” is a book about all things home: cooking,

preserving, home and body care products and more. The book is an extension of the Edmonds mom’s blog, Northwest Edible Life, which has been educating urban homesteaders for the past five years.

“I didn’t know if I had it in me to write a book,” said Strauss, who also raises two children on top of curating her popular blog. “It takes months to write, months to edit and months to develop a marketing plan. It’s a very involved thing.”

Strauss spent six months in the second half of 2014 writing, researching and back-testing recipes just to get a draft to editors. Then she waited.

“I felt like I’d run a marathon,” said Strauss, who credited her husband, Nick, and her publisher, Sasquatch Books, for helping her get across the finish line.

Months later, coming home from

running errands, Strauss found a large box on her doorstep. Inside was the culmination of all that hard work.

“I was very proud,” Strauss said of first laying eyes on the finished product. “The pictures are beautiful, the

binding is really cool; it’s a beautiful book.”

Strauss was approached by Sasquatch Books to write a book because of the popularity of her blog.

Greenaway’s figural designs are as good as gold K Kate Greenaway drawings inspired this silver plated “double Greenaway” figural napkin ring made by Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. It sold for $533, the second highest price at the auction of a famous collection of more than 185 napkin rings.

ate Greenaway (18461901), an English artist, often is called the creator of picture books. As a young girl, she drew watercolor pictures of children dressed in old-fashioned clothes in a nearby village.

She created a pattern, made the dresses and bonnets, and dressed models to pose for her drawings. The romantic style was immediately successful, and soon she was illustrating cards, calendars, books and almanacs, earning both fame and fortune.

She soon started writing the poetry for her books.

The Kate Greenaway look became so popular it was copied in dress patterns, dishes, napkin

rings, glassware and, of course, picture books.

Collectors today like the original books and drawings and also collect the lookalikes. The world she created reminds people of the joys of childhood and more innocent times.

So it is not surprising that a figural napkin ring sold at a James Julia auction in Fairfield, Maine, in 2015 for $533. It featured two Greenaway-type girls in a tree, and because it was a “double,” it had added value.

inside the bottom half. It’s about 5 inches high and 4 inches wide. Is it worth anything?

A: Avon made this Golden Apple candle holder in 1968 and 1969. Avon started in 1886 as the California Perfume Company.

The name Avon was used beginning in 1929. The company has made many figural bottles, jars, figurines, children’s toys, jewelry and other items. The Golden Apple candle holder came with a perfumed candle and originally sold for $6. They sell online today for about $5-$15.

which, when held up to light, had a shadowy Japanese lady’s head inside on the bottom. I would love to find out their value and if they would be of interest to Japanese collectors.

A: Your cups are for serving sake, a Japanese rice wine. The faces on the bottom are those of Geishas. The images are called lithophanes, derived from Greek words that mean “light in stone” or “appear in stone.” Pictures were carved into beeswax, then used to make a plaster-of-Paris mold for the porcelain slip that formed the lady’s head in your cup.

Looking at bare-root trees? Here’s what you need to know

N

orthwest gardeners have a unique opportunity this time of year, it’s called bare root season and it only lasts through the end of March.

Here is what it is all about.

Some shrubs and trees can be dug out of the ground during the dormant season and have all the soil washed off their roots without any negative effect on the plants. They are subsequently shipped to garden centers where they are usually heeled into sawdust until either a customer buys them or they are potted up. It’s pretty amazing to think that plants will put up with this level of abuse, but under the right circumstances they don’t seem to skip a beat.

There are some very

CALENDAR Natural Yard Care Classes: King County is partnering with the Snohomish Conservation District to offer a series of three classes this winter, all about creating a healthy, sustainable landscape.

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER good reasons why plants are offered in this condition. For starters, they are less expensive than container-grown plants because they are easier and cheaper to ship due to the lack of heavy soil.

enough to get you out of that easy chair and down to the garden center. Another big advantage of bare-root is that, because you don’t have a heavy root ball to deal with, you can usually just dig a hole, drop in some organic starter fertilizer and shove them into the ground (a little extra compost doesn’t hurt either). You also don’t have a pot that needs recycling.

They are light weight, easy to handle and even easier to plant.

The disadvantages of bare root are that they are only available in January through the end of March, so you need to shop early for the best selection. Because a significant portion of their root system was left back on the farm, you also need

to make sure they are carefully monitored during the first season. Adding some organic fertilizer in the hole when you plant will encourage new root growth. Since the original soil was all washed off, it is essential to add some soil micro-organisms to aid in re-establishing the root system. Most quality organic fertilizers have micro-organisms already added, so by adding the fertilizer you are killing two birds with one stone. And finally, sometimes the tops of the plant will need to be pruned to balance the loss of roots and encourage new branches. This needs to be done carefully and is usually best accomplished by a nursery professional.

Be sure to talk to them about this before you leave.

Not all plants can be sold bare root. Dogwoods, for instance, are almost always sold in containers, as are Japanese maples, witch hazels, magnolias and stewartias. This is probably because their roots are finer and more prone to drying out quickly. Evergreens, unless they are small seedlings, are never sold bare root because they have leaves year-round that need active roots to keep them alive. Bare rooting an evergreen will quickly turn it into a “never green”.

Since January through March is bare root season at your garden center, there are plenty of good reasons to plant this time of year. While you may think it is too early, bare root plants know it is the perfect time for transplanting. Save some money, save some pots and save some sore muscles by planting bare root now.

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.

Book: Edmonds native loves to share Kovel From Page D1

Started in 2011, it was popular with Puget Sound dwellers first and then mushroomed. Strauss said she has regular readers up and down the West Coast, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and beyond. Her husband’s boss is an avid reader.

“It’s not just, ‘Oh, here’s my cute jam,’ it’s more how do we efficiently deal with the harvest,” Strauss said of her blog. “This is really old-school home economics.”

The blog has a humble, but practical origin story.

Soon after her son was born, Strauss found herself on the couch thinking about gardening. As a trained chef, the Edmonds native loved growing her own produce and had gained intimate knowledge on what to plant where in her backyard garden.

“I realized I should start a blog and tell people about gardening in my hometown,” Strauss said.

“Gardening is very local.”

The blog soon morphed into much more than just gardening. Strauss posted recipes for everything from roast chicken to glass cleaner. She wrote blogs

land” hasn’t always been Edmonds. She grew up there, but moved away to attend the Seattle Culinary Academy, work at Seattle fine dining restaurant, Kaspars, and learn at the feet of Herb Farm’s Jerry Traunfeld during her externship. She only moved back after she got pregnant.

“I was like a salmon returning home to spawn,”

Strauss said with a laugh.

Ultimately, Strauss said she hopes her blog and book give people the confidence to try something new.

“If you’re interested in this stuff, I hope that what I’ve done with the book is help give people the background information they need so that they don’t feel intimidated to try new stuff,” Strauss said. scent may fade over time.

To use: Shake the glass cleaner well, then spray onto a clean lint-free towel or the surface you wish to clean. Wipe the glass, mirror, or polished metal clean, then polish the surface dry with a soft, lint-free rag (old cut-up cotton t-shirts are great for this).

Note: Less is more when it comes to cleaning glass. You will not get a better result if you spray the heck out of it.

metal”—because it does such a great job at polishing up sinks and fixtures without leaving any residue.

2 cups cheap vodka 2 cups distilled water 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 30 drops peppermint essential oil 1 drop blue food coloring (optional) Add all the ingredients to a 32-ounce heavy-duty spray bottle. Tightly lid the bottle and give it a few turns to mix everything together. Label the bottle and store the cleaner tightly lidded and out of reach of kids.

The cleaner will last for at least a year, though the essential oil

Glass cleaner Vodka: It’s not just for happy hour any more. The solvent qualities of alcohol are excellent for streak-free glass cleaning. If you can’t get cheap vodka or prefer not to keep it in the house, you can use one cup rubbing alcohol in this recipe and increase the distilled water to three cups.

Rubbing alcohol is pretty stinky and definitely not good to inhale, but it’s cheaper. Your call.

I add a drop of blue food coloring to this spray so it’s the universal “glass cleaner” color and my kids won’t mistake it for plain water. I also use this

on preserving pickles and brewing beer (her husband, Nick, is known as the Homebrew Husband).

“The blog became this place where I could express all of these productive home and garden things I was doing,” Strauss said. “The urban homesteading community really opens you up to all kinds of DIY projects.”

The blog revolves around the urban-homesteading ethos. Urban homesteading is a growing trend among city-dwellers who want to be more productive with limited space and more aware of how they spend their time and money. According to Strauss, this means, among other things, edible gardening, raising small livestock, attempting to reduce waste and living more sensibly.

“The people I write to are aware of issues like environmental damage and corporate influence and feel them deeply,” Strauss said. “All you can do is try to make your own tiny plot of land a little bit better. When you can put your focus on that, and not all the stuff out there in the big world, that helps people feel they’re doing their part.”

Current prices

can I find someone to help me decide what to do?

Should I just dump them at a yard sale?

A: Unless you have something of great value, a yard sale or garage sale works best. We hope your mother and grandmother told you if there was something of great value or had special meaning to your family in this collection of “stuff.” Advertise the sale in a local paper and post a sign on your street. Make sure everything has a price sticker or tag. Set prices low, at half retail value. Similar items can be grouped together in a box to sell at one price for the bunch.

Remember, shoppers like to bargain and expect to get a “discount” on the price you set. Some newspapers offer a free leaflet telling how to have a good sale.

Q: My husband was a pharmacist and had a collection of old pharmacy tools. It includes an old pill roller, mortar and pestle, scale and weights. He died last year and I’d like to sell them. How can I contact someone who would be interested in them?

A: There are collectors who look for pharmacy and drugstore items. There are also people who collect old scales. They would sell at an advertising sale or auction that includes advertising and pharmacy items. Look for a local dealer who goes to big flea markets and advertising shows.

Japanese Geisha lithophane tea cups or saki cups were popular souvenirs for soldiers and travelers from the late 1930s to the 1950s. Many date to the Occupied Japan period (1945-’52). Many different Geisha images can be found, with names like “Sad Geisha,” “Quizzical Geisha,” “Pensive Geisha,” “WideEyed Geisha” and others.

Q: I’d like some information about an Excel projector and Betty Boop movie I have that are over 75 years old. The movie is on a ¾ by 3-inch reel that plays on an Excel projector.

The projector was lit with a G.E. bulb that has the words “Mazda Toy Projection” on the top of the bulb.

I’m concerned that if the film or projector breaks, I’ll lose both. What are they worth? If these have any value, I don’t want my children to throw them out.

A: Several companies made toy projectors and sold them with short movies. Cartoons and comedies were popular in the 1930s and ’40s. Excel Home Movies of Toledo, Ohio, advertised a projector and 100-foot reel featuring “Betty Boop,” “Popeye,” “Our Gang” or other comic character for $3.95 in 1936. The value of your projector and reel today is less than $50.

Divorce turns man into a hot mess on a train wreck

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: How much honesty do you think we owe friends when they ask us difficult questions? I have a friend I’ve known since I was a teen who comes to me when he has relationship problems. The latest is that his wife of less than a year left him, stating only that she had never really wanted to marry him but convinced herself that she did. She’s now gone and they are in the process of divorce.

He immediately joined an online dating service, and went on a few dates before the soon-to-be-ex had even moved out (although he accused her of cheating when she did the same thing — this is an early 30s woman and mid-40s man, for context). So when he asked me what I thought, I told him I thought he was dating far too soon and needed to give himself time to heal. He blew up and accused me of wanting him to be “lonely and alone every night.” I backed off.

It’s been a few months since then and he was just told by a different woman after several dates that she doesn’t want to see him anymore.

He is reacting with a level of devastation that seems disproportionate.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT When he asked me directly, “Do you think I am broken?” I suggested that he is feeling this more deeply because he is still coping with the pain of being left by his wife. He responded by defensively saying “Excuse me for developing feelings for someone!” He hasn’t talked to me since.

So now here I am, feeling irritated and contemplating telling him to stop asking me what I think if he doesn’t want honest answers. Your thoughts?

— Anonymous Your friend is a hot mess on a train wreck careening toward a wheelless bus parked next to a redflag factory. I’m guessing a cause, not effect, of the abortive marriage.

trying, though.

If he cools off enough to ask for your opinion again, and if you still think his friendship is worth having, you’re welcome to: ■ point out that didn’t go so well the last couple of times; ■ ask him whether he really wants your opinion, or just your sympathy; ■ suggest he talk to a good therapist to sort out his feelings, because he is obviously unhappy both with his situation and with your attempts to help him; ■ or forge ahead with telling him the truth as you see it.

Feel free also to point out that you don’t appreciate the freeze-outs in response to opinions he asked you to give. You care about and have stood by him, and yet he pushes you away unless you tell him what he wants to hear; ask him to imagine how this tactic of his will go over with new people he meets.

Each of these options is probably good for at least a week’s worth of silence in its wake, so don’t worry about trying to tailor your answer to avoid his sensitivities. Serve your own integrity, don’t take him personally and hope he gets the help he plainly needs.

Grandma just wants a nice picture of the kids Dear Abby: I have a large family consisting of many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Looking through my photo albums, I can’t complain that I don’t have enough photos of my children, but it’s a parade of tongues.

Their mothers all post photos on social media with their tongues hanging out.

The children then mimic their moms and their photos are disgusting as well. I would love to have photos of my children minus the slimy organ.

Please, can someone enlighten me as to the inspiration of this repulsive action? — Closed-Mouthed In The South Dear Closed-Mouthed: I suspect it originated back in the 1970s when Gene Simmons of Kiss licked his way to the top of the music charts. Lately, Miley Cyrus took up the torch and is keeping it burning brightly.

Children often stick out their tongues when they are forced to have their picture taken or are trying to be funny, but I don’t think Gene and Miley fall into that category. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Dear Abby: After 27 years of marriage, my wife told me she is attracted to other women. To my knowledge, she has acted on this only once.

Every day I wonder where our relationship stands. One day she can’t see herself without me; the next, she says we should divorce. I don’t know if I should end this or wait to see where it goes. I love her, but what matters most to me is that she is happy. Any suggestions? — Mr D.

There is also a support group called the Straight Spouse Network (www.straightspouse.org), which offers emotional support after a wife or a husband comes out as yours did. Please don’t wait to read the book and visit the website. I think you will find them comforting.

Dear Abby: Sometimes I’ll call a close friend or business associate for lunch with the goal of having a quality one-on-one conversation on a wide range of topics. After the lunch is set, more than one of them has then invited other people I know, but with whom I do not have the same quality relationship. It is not a pleasant surprise.

I find it irritating, because it invariably changes the dynamic of the conversation. I never say anything about it, but it bothers me. Is my reaction reasonable, or should I just roll with this?

— Thwarted In Dallas Dear Thwarted: Your reaction is perfectly reasonable. The first time it happened, you should have shared your feelings with the person who did it. It has happened again because you didn’t speak up. Now you will have to warn the person you’re inviting in advance.

Broadway, Hollywood mix for ‘Grease: Live’

is drawn together as a comet hurtles toward Earth. The cast includes Rob Lowe and Jenna Fisher. 8 p.m., NBC.

BURBANK, Calif. — Fox is gearing up to give Broadway a serious dose of the Hollywood treatment.

“Grease: Live,” airing Sunday (7 p.m.), goes beyond other made-for-TV live musicals such as “The Sound of Music” and “The Wiz,” both of which were huge hits for NBC. This hybrid of the stage and movie musical blends theater with film, with dynamic camera movements capturing the dance and drama on multiple sets housed in two massive soundstages.

“The scale is insane,” said TV director Alex Rudzinski. “It’s almost half a kilometer from one end of the site to the other.”

Cast and crew members will rely on golf carts — or fast feet — to get between the stages during commercial breaks.

“Grease: Live,” which stars Julianne Hough as Sandy and Broadway veteran Aaron Tveit as Danny, has taken over Warner Bros. studios with its many sets and stages.

Here’s a look at this ambitious Paramount Television production by the numbers: ■ 412: The number of times “Grease: Live” director Thomas Kail can listen to consecutive replays of the song “Hand Jive.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Jan. 28, the 28th day of 2016.

There are 338 days left in the year.

Today’s highlights: On Jan. 28, 1915, the United States Coast Guard was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill merging the Life-Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service.

The American merchant vessel SS William P. Frye, en route to England with a cargo of wheat, became the first U.S. ship to be sunk during World War I by a German cruiser, the SS Prinz Eitel Friedrich, even though the United States was not at war.

On this date: In 1547, England’s King Henry VIII died; he was succeeded by his 9-yearold son, Edward VI. In 1813, the novel “Pride and Prejudice”

by Jane Austen was first published anonymously in London.

In 1909, the United States withdrew its forces from Cuba as Jose Miguel Gomez became president.

In 1939, Irish poetdramatist William Butler Yeats died in Menton, France.

In 1945, during World War II, Allied supplies began reaching China over the newly reopened

Burma Road.

In 1956, Elvis Presley made his first national TV appearance on “Stage Show,” a CBS program hosted by Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey.

In 1962, the last of Washington, D.C.’s original streetcars made its final run.

In 1973, a cease-fire officially went into effect in the Vietnam War. In 1977, actor-comedian Freddie Prinze, 22, costar of the NBC-TV show “Chico and the Man,” shot and mortally wounded himself at the Beverly Comstock Hotel (he died the following day).

In 1980, six U.S. diplomats who had avoided being taken hostage at their embassy in Tehran flew out of Iran with the help of Canadian diplomats.

In 1985, the charity supergroup USA for Africa recorded the Michael Jackson-Lionel Richie song “We Are the World” at A&M Studios in Los Angeles.

In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, killing all seven crew members, including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe.

Aaron Tveit (left) and Julianne Hough rehearse for “Grease: Live,” airing (tape-delayed) Sunday at 7 p.m. on FOX.

Fresh off the success of his Broadway production “Hamilton” and his Tony Award for “In the Heights,” Kail is bringing his theater talents to the production of “Grease: Live,” and he’s not daunted by its scope and scale.

■ 208: And that’s just the number of costumes for the show’s 52 extras.

Hundreds more outfits were needed for the dozen main cast members, most of whom change outfits at least four times each, said Tony Award-winning costume designer William Ivey Long, who commandeered an entire empty soundstage on the Warner Bros. lot just to house the show’s collection of clothing.

Because stars have to

do quick changes during commercial breaks, many of the costumes are held together with magnets.

Some stars will also be wearing layers of outfits on top of each other for what Long calls “magical transformations that were not in the Broadway musical and were not in the film either.”

■ 45: The number of camera positions needed to shoot scenes in disparate locations from multiple angles. Using 20 cameras, Rudzinski is doing something almost unprecedented in live TV: taking cameras offline so they can be moved and reset for the various scenes.

■ 45: The number of seconds it takes to travel between stages on a golf cart. But it isn’t idle time:
