Number of homeless in county rises

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — An annual survey of homeless people in Snohomish County suggests a surge in families without shelter, a problem many advocates close to the streets have long suspected.

The Point in Time count found

a 50 percent increase in some homeless populations.

Thursday’s one-day tally turned up 481 local people without shelter. That compares to 312 counted a year ago. The 54 percent increase was mostly tied to households without children.

The number of unsheltered families with children, however, more

than doubled to 35 from 16 last year.

The homelessness problem is hardly confined to Snohomish County. Gov. Jay Inslee sees larger economic forces at work pushing up the numbers throughout the state.

The governor traveled to Everett Monday to talk about

combatting homelessness as part of a roundtable discussion with local leaders.

“A lot of the new homeless are economically homeless, I’m convinced, because the wages aren’t keeping up with rents,” Inslee said afterward.

“It’s not some sudden onslaught of mental health

At the same time, Inslee acknowledged the state has had well-publicized difficulties in keeping up with demands on the mental health system. He sees promise in the Housing First initiative pioneered in Utah and See COUNT, Page A2

Farm in Lochsloy specializes in training horses, riders in three events Herald Writer

LOCHSLOY — The horses were restless Saturday morning, anxious to run and unusually attuned to the ducks gathered on a pond that in the summer dries to become prime grazing pasture.

“There’s something in the air,” said Meika Decher, who owns Polestar Farm in Lochsloy with her husband Mark Salser.

The farm is situated on a scenic spot across a one-lane bridge over the Pilchuck River. It’s a haven where busy professionals board their horses and pony clubs meet for summer camps.

Meika Decher leaps over a hurdle with Archie, a 7-year-old cross breed, while practicing Saturday at Polestar Farm in Lochsloy, a horse-training facility owned and operated by Decher and her husband, Mark Salser.

OLYMPIA — There is an effort under way in the Legislature to figure out if artificial turf made with crumb rubber poses any risk to the health of those running around on it, especially children.

Bills introduced in the House and the Senate aim to sort through existing analyses of the material, assess alternative products and consider posting signs advising the public when they are about to step foot on a field made with the granular pieces of ground-up tires.

Opponents and supporters of this synthetic turf made their cases to the House Environment Committee at a recent hearing on a bill that, among other rules, would require installers of the synthetic turf to prove its safety to the state Department of Ecology before they could proceed.

“I am 12 years old. I get that we need to do something with used tires,” Alexandra Markiel of Brier said. “We tried dumping them in the oceans and lakes but that destroyed coral reefs and poisoned fish. We tried grinding them up and using them as mulch but that killed plants. What in those experiences caused people to think they would make healthy playing surfaces for children?”

But representatives of the recycled rubber industry, the state departments of health and ecology and outdoor recreation groups said there’s no evidence it’s dangerous to children.

“We have to get past the emotion. We have to look at the science,” said Doug Levy, of the Washington Recreation and Park Association. “We think this bill is very premature.”

Concern has focused on the fine-grained particles, made from ground-up tires, used both in the padding under the green turf and as a kind of artificial dirt sprinkled on top of the fields. Opponents point to a list of hazardous chemicals in rubber tires, including heavy metals and substances linked to cancer.

That approach seeks to find low-barrier housing before treating a person’s problems with mental health or drug abuse.

opposition to crumb rubber athletic fields has been greatest in Edmonds. It was triggered by a $4.2 million Edmonds School District project to construct two synthetic turf athletic fields at the former Woodway High School for soccer, baseball and lacrosse. The fields opened in September, but the controversy has continued to simmer, led by local parents.

In December, the Edmonds City Council approved a ban on the installation of synthetic turf playfields made from crumb rubber on any publicly-owned athletic field until July 11, 2017. The action covers school district-owned properties.

Laura Johnson, an Edmonds parent, and Lora Petso, a former Edmonds councilwoman, were among those who testified at the hearing in support of House Bill 2547.

The project at the former Woodway High School

recently started embedding social workers with their officers.

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson recently promised to line up permanent housing in the near future for five chronically homeless people, with another 15 to follow by the end of June. The city is starting a capital campaign to fund the construction of a dedicated facility for 60 homeless people.

Volunteers conducted Thursday’s annual homeless survey during heavy rains, searching in shelters and parking lots, alleys and streets. They asked about the circumstances that left people without a permanent home. They asked about domestic violence, job loss, drug use, military service and more.

The count spanned 12 hours at sites in Everett,

had been planned for more than a decade, with funding from the city of Edmonds, the Edmonds School District, the state, and the Lynnwood-based Verdant Health Commission.

The school district hired a consultant to review any health concerns associated with the crumb-rubber fields, including studies by public agencies and research in scientific journals. “Studies that appear to exhibit rigorous scientific validity find no additional risk from the chemicals or physical properties of artificial turf and crumb rubber,” according to the report by EMB Consulting in Lynnwood. The school district has seven similar artificial-turf fields.

The Verdant Health Commission also hired a consultant to take a look at the issue, Michael K. Peterson, a toxicologist employed by Gradient, a Seattle consulting firm. The chemical levels found in

Lynnwood, Arlington and east Snohomish County.

Organizers worried that weather may have made it harder to find people.

Even so, preliminary numbers released by the county showed some dramatic increases.

County Executive Dave Somers stressed the need to form partnerships across political boundaries and to use approaches that have worked elsewhere.

“We must target resources effectively and ensure that any dollar spent is actually solving a problem,” Somers said in prepared remarks. “If it were just a question of enough money, then the problem would have gotten better in the last 30 years. But it hasn’t.”

artificial turf “do not present a risk to people playing on or using the fields,” Peterson said in a report to the group.

Yet there have been concerns about possible health effects from the fill “related to data gaps or limitations,” his report said.

Peterson, who now works for the Recycled Rubber Council, told lawmakers at the hearing there is “consistent, strong evidence” that there is no risk from every day exposures of running around on the artificial turf.

Amy Griffin, a University of Washington soccer coach told them a different story.

In 2014, she raised the issue of a possible link between the artificial turf fields and some people who had played on them being diagnosed with various types of cancer. She said she’s compiled a list of 209 such athletes, of which 160 are soccer players and of those, 97 are goalies.

“I know it’s anecdotal. It’s

more than coincident,” she said.

Rep. Strom Peterson, D-Edmonds, a committee member, said after the hearing lawmakers are unlikely to impose any restrictions this year but may agree to study alternative products to crumb rubber, He said he needs more scientific analysis before deciding if tighter regulations are necessary.

California is in the midst of a multi-year study on the safety of crumb rubber and thinks Washington should wait to see the results before acting, he said.

Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Shoreline, introduced a bill to study health impacts of exposure to toxic chemicals in synthetic turf. She applauded the House panel for holding a hearing.

“Anytime we can get people talking about the safety of crumb rubber and the health impacts on our children, I think that’s a good thing,” she said.

WWII decoder, 99, dies The Washington Post Selmer Norland, a World War II Army officer who served with the original American contingent of cryptanalysts assigned to the Bletchley Park code-breaking center in England that broke encrypted messages from Nazi Enigma machines, died Dec. 5 at a hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland.

He was 99.

The cause was complications from a stroke, said a daughter, Janet Schwenke.

Norland was fluent in German and possessed of a good memory for the names of German military units and their locations, according to an oral history declassified more than 50 years after the fact by the National Security Agency.

He was assigned to a unit

that handled evaluation and translation of alreadydecrypted messages from the Enigma machines.

With these skills, he was able to make quick judgments on which intercepted messages were new or significant enough to require immediate attention of higher-ups in the military chain of command.

After the war, Norland settled in the Washington area and was a cryptolinguist with the NSA, from which he retired in 1974.

In 1942 he began his Army career, and a year later was among a group of Army officers selected for joint service with British intelligence. They sailed for England and a posting at Bletchley Park under the code job description as “pigeon experts.”

Former Everett fire chief McNall dies

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Douglas McNall, who stuffed cardboard in his leaky shoes while growing up in Everett’s Riverside neighborhood and went on to become the city’s fire chief, has died after a battle with cancer.

McNall was a big man with a heavy handshake and a knack for getting in the last word.

His legacy will be marked Douglas McNall by his efforts to

improve the lives of firefighters, colleagues said. He fought hard to improve their benefits both locally and statewide.

McNall served as president of the Everett firefighters union and foundation as well as the state firefighters union. He also became president of the Washington State Council of

Firefighters and the Washington Fire Chiefs Association.

“He was really instrumental in Olympia in getting things done for firefighters,” said Terry Ollis, who followed him as Everett’s fire chief.

In 1972, Ollis was a new recruit and McNall was a captain and his drill instructor. His class was well

prepared to begin their careers, he said.

“He always tried to do a good job,” Ollis said. “He was a firefighter at heart. That always stayed.”

McNall was born Sept. 15, 1939, at Everett General Hospital. He See CHIEF, Page A10

County, city plan overhaul of park

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

Superior Court Judge Millie Judge sentenced Rinker to 28 years in prison for the domestic violence killing.

“Today is for Jessica and justice for her and her family,” Judge said.

Rinker, 27, pleaded guilty in December to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.

Detectives suspect that Rinker was worried that Jones was going break up with him.

Witnesses reported hearing Rinker threaten to kill Jones in the past, Arlington police detective Mike Sargent wrote in court papers. They also said that Rinker abused Jones.

On the day of the shooting neighbors reported hearing yelling from the garage followed by a single gunshot. They saw Rinker run from the garage and toss something into a nearby field.

Detectives found a silver revolver in the grass close to where neighbors spotted Rinker. The revolved appeared

LAKE STEVENS — Plans to overhaul Cavelero Hill Park have gained momentum and a covered skate park could open there as soon as next year.

The park is just off 20th Street SE at 27032 79th Ave. It has a popular off-leash dog park with two fenced areas, a gravel parking lot and a big open field.

Snohomish County owns the park but it falls within the city of Lake Stevens, which annexed the neighborhood in 2009. City and county leaders for years have been talking about improving the park. A master plan was drawn up in 2002 but hasn’t been built out.

County and city planners recently teamed up to revise the plan. Public meetings were held last year to gather ideas. The updated plan is set to go before the Snohomish County Council by the end of February and already has support from Lake Stevens officials.

The first phase of construction proposed for the park includes the skate park, additional parking and extending the access road, said Kevin Teague, a senior park planner for Snohomish County.

How much more work could be done depends on the budget, he said.

A $500,000 grant from the state Department of Commerce is going toward the project. The city of Lake Stevens and Snohomish County officials have talked about putting in $250,000 each from the city and county, bringing the total budget up to at least $1 million for the first phase of work. Those amounts have not been finalized.

“It’s a great location really with all the new housing around it and Cavelero Mid-High,” Teague said. “The collaborative effort

Man gets 28 years for murder

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Daniel Rinker killed a young boy’s mother.

He shot Jessica Jones in the head and then blamed the deadly gunfire on someone else.

Jones died April 9, 2014, the day after she was found in a pool of blood on the floor of Rinker’s grandparents’ Arlington garage. She was 25.

Her son is 9. He has his mom’s smile and sassy wit. The third-grader is good at math. He is learning to drum with his Tulalip relatives.

The boy drew a picture of a tulip after his mom’s death. He told his grandmother to hold onto the drawing if she felt sad.

Pamela Blount’s sadness was etched on her face Monday as she stood feet from Rinker and pleaded with a Snohomish County judge to “throw away the key.”

Her daughter made mistakes but she didn’t deserve to lose her life over them, Blount wrote in a letter.

Pay raise due for state patrol troopers, lawmakers say

OLYMPIA — Faced with reports of an unhappy and underpaid Washington State Patrol, lawmakers are trying to give patrol officers a pay raise and make other departmental upgrades to reverse an increasing shortage of troopers.

Two bills in the Legislature,

heard Monday in the Senate Transportation Committee, seek to halt what a survey of the state patrol calls an “unsustainable” drop in troopers because many officers are leaving for higher pay at other police departments or retiring. The bills would require patrol salaries to be competitive with other local law enforcement agencies.

LOCAL , NORTHWEST BRIEFLY Naval station to conduct drills Thursday, Feb. 8 EVERETT — Naval Station Everett is participating in a training exercise Thursday and neighborhood residents may notice a higher level of activity, including the sounds of gunfire and explosives.

The event is part of a national training exercise occurring on Navy bases throughout the country in the first two weeks of February. Everett will have exercises Thursday and Feb. 8.

During the training exercise, personnel will fire blank rounds, simulated explosives, and there will be a higher than normal police presence on the base. From 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., the main gate will be subject to closure. The exercise also may lead to increased traffic or delayed access to the base during that time.

Mill Creek: Man held after slow-speed police pursuit A man was taken into custody Monday after a relatively slow-speed pursuit that began on the Bothell-Everett Highway ended on Lowell Larimer Road.

The Mill Creek Police Department was the lead agency with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office providing assistance. A Mill Creek officer spotted the driver in a pickup truck. The officer recognized him and knew he had felony warrants for his arrest, Mill Creek detective Sgt. Kate Hamilton said.

The officer tried to pull the driver over

in the 13500 block of the highway, but the suspect kept driving.

“It wasn’t high speed,” Hamilton said.

“The driver just kept going.”

The pickup eventually pulled over and the suspect stayed in the vehicle for at least 20 minutes without getting out or following orders. Officers eventually were able to reach him on his cellphone. “Even after exiting the vehicle, he was not following commands,” Hamilton said.

A police dog was used during the arrest. The man was examined for a dog bite before he was taken to the Snohomish County Jail.

Seattle: 3 teens arrested for attack on homeless camp Police have arrested three teenagers in connection with the shooting at a Seattle homeless encampment last week that left 2 people dead and three others wounded.

Seattle police say the suspects, ages 13, 16 and 17, were arrested Monday afternoon in Seattle. No further information about the arrests was immediately available. Shooting erupted on the evening of Jan. 26 at a homeless encampment known as “The Jungle.” Police have said they believe the fatal shooting stemmed from a drug-dealing dispute.

The two people killed in the incident have been identified as Jeannine L. Zapata, 45, and James Q. Tran, 33.

Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Monday those wounded remain at the hospital with a man and woman in satisfactory condition. She said the other woman wants to keep her condition private.

Lynden: City Council to vote on permanent pot ban The city of Lynden, which has placed a temporary moratorium on pot businesses, will soon vote on whether to make the ban permanent. The Bellingham Herald reported that the Lynden City Council is expected to vote in March on a proposed ban on growing, processing and selling marijuana for recreational and medical use. Lyden leaders approved a temporary ban on such activities in September 2013 and have since extended it. Mayor Scott Korthuis said about 69 percent of the city’s residents opposed the law that legalized recreational pot in Washington.

City leaders are putting an emphasis on recreation, Lake Stevens public works director and city engineer Mick Monken said.

The skate park would add easy-to-access activities for students at nearby Cavelero Mid High School.

“They’re looking at it being one of the first covered skate parks in the area,” Monken said. “I really think it could help add to the excitement out there. There’s a lot going on.”

His attorney, Jennifer Rancourt, advised Rinker not to say much Monday because of the pending rape charges. Her client is remorseful. He and his family loved Jones, Rancourt said.

“He is punishing himself on a daily basis,” she said.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Randy Yates agreed to recommend a 25-year sentence in exchange for Rinker’s guilty plea, which spared Blount

and her family a long trial.

“I never meant for this to happen. I’m sorry,” Rinker said.

The defendant took away a mother and a daughter, Judge said. He is remorseful now but the judge said she couldn’t ignore what happened in that garage.

“You showed no compassion, no mercy and no leniency to Jessica Jones that day,” Judge said.

“You deprived a child of a mother he will never know.”

restrooms and picnic shelters are sketched into the plans. The final phase of construction would set up three small shops at the north end of the park that could be leased from the county.

The BMX track, which also would be covered, is slated to be built after the skate park but before the shops.

County staff are readying a contract for a firm to design the skate park. If the County Council approves it, the skate park could be done in spring 2017, Teague said.

If leaders decides against the contract or funding, it could delay work but shouldn’t derail it, Teague said.

“There’s so much energy toward the development of the skate park, and it’s such a great park in a great location,” he said.

It’s a five-minute drive for Sandra Anderson to bring her 4-year-old schnauzer Tug to the dog park. She’s there at least once a week, more when the weather is nice. It’s a well-used park, she said, and she’d like to see a playground there for

families. She’s supportive of plans to overhaul the park.

“Personally, I think it’s a great idea, as long as they keep the dog park,” she said. “I see all this land and it’s not being used. It would be nice to have it be kind of a full-service park.”

Cheryl Zeigler lives less than two miles away. She goes to Cavelero frequently with Parker, her 10-yearold mutt with the bright fur and boundless energy of the yellow lab in his genes.

She’s fine with the plans and excited for dog park improvements.

Grading would get the dogs’ play area out of mud on rainy days. A spigot to fill water bowls would be handy, she said. On hot summer afternoons, she’s seen more than 20 dogs at a time in the off-leash area, supervised by owners who hopefully remembered an extra water bottle.

“On nice days in the afternoon, it’s a crowd,” Zeigler said. “There are weeks when we come every day. I love it. My dog loves it.”

shouldn’t be on the hook for a trooper’s training costs just for hiring officers.

A bill in the House addressing the issue but not directly offering the patrol a pay raise, House Bill 2872, is scheduled for a hearing on Tuesday in the House Labor and Workplace Standards Committee.

Patrol spokesman Kyle Moore said the patrol doesn’t comment on proposed legislation, but

Davor Gjurasic, a lobbyist for the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association, and Captain E.J. Swainson, president of the Washington State Patrol Lieutenants Association, testified in support of the main aspects of both Senate bills.

The survey, created by a California-based financial consultant company, was presented to the Senate committee Monday.

It recommends changes to the patrol such as salaries adjusted by location, bonuses to keep troopers of retirement age and modifying retirement plans for early-career troopers.

But money isn’t everything to officers, according to the survey. Fewer than 18 percent of troopers and sergeants surveyed in the patrol feel they’re valued, and 37 percent said they’re somewhat valued. Fewer than 10 percent responded that their opinion is taken into account by the department, and 32.6 percent feel their opinion is somewhat valued.

The report has five recommendations to fix job satisfaction issues, including allowing troopers to take part in selecting new, more comfortable uniforms. Moore said the patrol is taking steps to evaluate and improve communication between management and officers in the field, and the department plans to ask the Legislature to pay for new uniforms next year.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Gardner Perr y Hawkins

“Pete” – entered into his final rest on Thursday, Januar y 28, 2016, in Olympia, Washington.

Pete was born in Stanley Basin in rural Idaho, June 5, 1921, the first child of the marriage of Gardner Perr y “Doc” Hawkins and Hallie Gertrude Chapman. He had two older half-siblings (now deceased), Lancelot and Lillian Hawkins, as well as a y o u n g e r s i s t e r, t h e l a t e Grace (Hawkins) Benef iel and a younger brother, V. A. “Jack” Hawkins of Spokane, Washington.

Pete lived in Idaho only for his first year as the family relocated to Kansas City, Mo., and then to Houston, Mo. Pete recalled the trip across Missouri in a wagon pulled by mules; his mother baked Grace a cake for her fourth birthday on the trip.

His family lived through extremely hard times during the dust bowl years. He joined the Civilian Construction Corps at age 16 and afterwards worked as a hired hand and as a shor t-order cook. In St. Louis, he met and married his first wife, Oly; but when he joined the Navy in the spring after Pearl Harbor the marriage didn’t survive. A son, Gardner Leroy Hawkins, was the product of this marriage. Leroy was adopted away to a family Pete knew well, and though they always kept in touch Pete’s life was always a f fe c t e d b y h i s fe e l i n g s about this decision.

Pete became a Navy cook and was present for the invasion of Africa, serving near Safi and Casablanca, Morocco. He loved sharing that while there, actress Martha R aye a p p e a r e d i n a U S O show, and he baked her a cherry pie. She came to his kitchen to personally t h a n ke d h i m fo r t h e p i e , w h i c h s h e p ro c l a i m e d a s “wonderful.” Injured in an air raid, he was sent home to t h e U S A fo r s u r g e r y, a n d then remained in the Navy to make seven convoys across the Atlantic. He was in London on convoy for the victory in Europe.

Returning home, he met and married Eileen Harris ( n ow N e l s o n , o f S e a t t l e , Wash.) in 1945. They lived in St. Louis and produced three children there: Gale C y p h e r ( O l y mp i a , Wa s h . ) ; Gwen Shapiro (Durham, N.C.); Gardner Perry Hawkins III (Olympia). Moving to Seattle, Wash. in 1955, they had three more children: Gerald (Santa Clara, Calif.); Gregory (Lake Stevens, Wash.); and Geni (Auburn, Wash.). Pete and Eileen divorced in 1960.

Pete remarried in 1966 to the late Alta (nee Peterson) Shielee. This union brought several young step-children that Pete accepted as his own: Wayne Shielee (Gresham, Ore.), the late Robert Shielee, and Elaine (Shielee) E g g i n k ( L a s Ve g a s , N ev. ) and their older sister, Joan Marshall. Pete had ten grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren, and he added to that Wayne’s three children and their families and Joan’s daughter.

Pete worked as a taxi driver and dispatcher, and later drove buses for Seattle Transit and the Northshore School District. Settling in Bothell, Wash. in 1962, he worked for Northshore until his retirement in 1983, as bus driver, custodian, maintenance worker and warehouseman.

Pete was an avid fisherman and hunter in his active years. He played league softball for Seattle Transit and won a number of trophies at table tennis. He was also an avid pool player and bowler for many years. Pete always enjoyed being busy and kept a garden, building his own greenhouse to enable him to have fresh tomatoes. He enjoyed using a variety of CB and other two-way radios. He was quite active in the American Legion, and was Post

Jeremy David Ojalehto

June 9, 1992 - January 26, 2016

Walter Charles Blair Walter Charles Blair was born to Charlie and Helen Blair in Clinton, Wash. on June 9, 1924. His fami ly moved to Everett, Wash. in 1929 and Walt lived the rest of his 91 years in the city he so cherished. Growing up on Hoyt, he attended Everett High School but dropped out at the age of 17 to join the Navy during World War II. He fought in The Battle of O k i n awa a n d r et u r n e d to Everett in 1945 and r e c e i ve d h i s h i g h s c h o o l diploma from Everett High.

Shortly after his return, he began his love affair with the sea. Commercial fishing was his life for nearly 60 years — f i s h i n g f ro m A l a s ka to California — but mostly off the Washington coast. He fished most of those 60 years with his best friend, Louie Bogdanovich, on the “Reliance”.

On October 31, 1948, he married “the love of his life”, Donna Hill. Together they had two daughters, Roxanne Cronin and Ricarda M a rko s k i . T h ey s p e n t 2 5 years together until Donna’s passing in 1973.

Walt liked to have fun and was constantly on the go.

H e w a s a n a v i d b o w l e r, played on the senior softball league until age 75, loved going to the horse track and was passionate about sport fishing. In his later years, the stock market became his hobby — he had a knack for choosing profitable companies and was proud of his portfolio.

Wa l t h a d t h e a b i l i t y t o make the best of his s u r ro u n d i n g s . N o m a t te r what he was doing, he always made things fun and people were drawn to his charisma. He often enter tained his audience with stories from his colorful life and telling (not always appropriate) jokes. He had a twinkle in his eye, quick wit, contagious laugh, and wide smile. Those who were for tunate enough to cross his path left with a smile on their face and a chuckle.

Wa l t i s s u r v i ve d by h i s b r o t h e r, J a c k B l a i r, o f Mar ysville, Wash.; his two daughters, Roxanne (Ber t) Cronin and Ricci Markoski; his grandchildren, Joe (Jamie) Cronin, Kelli Cronin, John Cronin, Joe Markoski, Peter (Jamie) Markoski, Amy (Sundance) Benjestorf; and four great grandchildren.

At his request, there will be no formal ser vice. On Saturday, February 6, 2016, there will be a private graveside memorial at Cypress Lawn Cemetery at 10 a.m., followed by a Celebration of Life party at Scuttlebutt’s Brewery (1205 C r a f t s m a n Way, o n t h e E v e r e t t w a t e r f ro n t ) f ro m 11:00 — 2:00. Please join us for a toast to Walt!

A special thank you to Sherry White for her loving care of Walt during the last three years.

J e r e my D av i d O j a l e h t o , affectionately known as “G,” passed away Januar y 26, 2016 in Monroe, Washington at the age of 23.

G was born June 9, 1992 in Monroe, Washington. A 2010 graduate of Monroe High School, he completed three years at Cornell Univer sity in Ithaca, New Yo r k a n d h a d r e c e n t l y transferred to the University of Washington.

I t wa s G ’ s s t ro n g l y fe l t purpose to know and love the world. He was always looking around the next corner for new ideas and projects. He loved reading, and was rarely seen outside the company of a book, his journal, or headphones for an audiobook. His love for intellectual conversation and debate was matched by an uncommon ability to f ind deep connection with all those who came into his life.

He was the frat brother who initiated reading groups at the arboretum and the little brother who chopped firewood to keep the house warm. In all his wide-ranging work, G managed to combine a thriving wit with an infectious love for small details, equally enthused by pursuits in the library, in the lab, or in the garden.

I n O c to b e r, 2 01 3 , G suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, initiating a long-term battle with mental illness. In the final years of his life, he found joy in hiking, spending time with family and friends, and especially playing with his nephews. His selfless courage fueled his struggle, making possible the i m m e a s u r a b l e g i f t to h i s family and friends of the last two and a half years of his life. These years remain an unspeakable expression of his devotion to ser vice, sacrifice, and care for those he loved.

He is survived by his father and stepmother, Hans and Susan Ojalehto; mother and stepfather, Laura and Steve Johnson; grandparents, Karl and Saima Ojalehto and Ruth Davison; siblings, Br yce and Trina, Troy and A l y s s a , B e t h a ny, H o l l y, Emilie and Blaine, and Heidi; s te p - s i b l i n g s , N i c o l e a n d Arthur and Melissa; nephews, Jeb, Wyatt, Malachi, Wynn, Max, Charlie, and William; and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A special thank you to Samantha and all the doctors and nurses, friends and family who supported us on this journey.

G’s life will be celebrated in a ceremony on Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at 11 A.M. at Cascade Community Church, 14377 167th Ave. SE, Monroe, WA.

Gardner Perry (Pete) Hawkins

Commander of the BothellWoodinville post.

Pete wa s k n ow n fo r h i s smile and the twinkle in his eyes. He enjoyed telling stories and tall tales. He loved watching baseball and was a proud St. Louis Cardinals fan until the Mariners came to Seattle and his loyalties moved to them. He enjoyed meeting famed announcer Harry Caray at a spring training game and they spoke about Caray’s broadcasts of the Cardinals games in the early 1950s.

Pete developed COPD around the age of 80, and the need for oxygen began to limit his mobility. He later developed a severe aor tic aneur ysm, and that condition further restricted his activities. Pete kept his mental faculties throughout his late life, until a broken bone in his hip joint required surger y, from which he never fully recovered. Pete had the constant attention of family through his declining health.

He was also helped in the final weeks by the Cassidy Family Home of Olympia.

A memorial service will be held at Floral Hills Cemetery, on Friday, February 5, 2016, at 1 p.m., with a graveside service at 2 p.m. There will be a gathering immediately thereafter at the Holiday Inn E x p r e s s i n Ly n nwo o d .

IOWA CAUCUS

AROUND THE WORLD

Cruz the only clear winner

OK to tweak embryos LONDON — In a landmark decision that some ethicists warned is a step down the path toward “designer babies,” Britain gave scientists approval Monday to conduct gene-editing experiments on human embryos. The researchers won’t be creating babies — the modified embryos will be destroyed after seven days. Instead, they said, the goal is to better understand human development so as to improve fertility treatments and prevent miscarriages.

Switzerland: WHO declares global emergency over Zika The World Health Organization declared an international emergency Monday over the explosive spread of the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which is linked to birth defects in the Americas, saying it is an “extraordinary event.” The U.N. health agency convened an emergency meeting of independent experts in Geneva to assess the outbreak after noting a suspicious link between Zika’s arrival in Brazil last year and a surge in the number of babies born with abnormally small heads.

Republican presidential candidate, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, speaks during a caucus night rally Monday in Des Moines, Iowa. Cruz sealed a victory in the Republican Iowa caucuses, winning on the strength of his relentless campaigning and support from his party’s diehard conservatives.

Clinton and Sanders in a virtual tie

By Noah Bierman, David Lauter and Chris Megerian

Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who also announced his withdrawal Monday. Ben Carson, the former neurosurgeon who led Iowa polls for months, fell to fourth place Monday, making his days numbered as well. Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief, also will run out of rationale soon, leaving the GOP with an all-male field.

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — After months of polling and endless speculation, actual voters finally took to the polls Monday in Iowa’s caucuses. Yes, they were a relative handful of people and not a particularly diverse set.

But they were nonetheless real voters, lending flesh to all the political theories. Iowa’s track-record of picking winners has been mixed, but it almost always shapes the race. This year’s results were a typical mixed bag of dashed expectations and surprising surges.

ANDREW HARNIK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s close, but Clinton still has advantage Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders finished in a virtual tie, with Clinton claiming victory. She clung to a narrow lead as Iowa counted its precinct caucus returns, seeking to hold off a strong challenge from Sanders with the support of older Democrats, self-described moderates and those who put a priority on a nominee with the experience to be president.

began his campaign, he had no organization, no money and was “taking on the most powerful political organization in the United States of America.”

Now, he said, “while the results are still unknown, it looks like we are in a virtual tie.” Iowa, he said, had sent a “profound message” of change.

O’Malley, Huckabee out

Big loser is Super PACs

Minn.: Flight attendantsin fist fight ground Delta flight

Some dark horse candidates will wait until next week’s contest in New Hampshire to call it quits. A few may even claim their sixth or seventh place finish gives them crucial momentum. But the campaign is now effectively over for several of them.

On the Democratic side, say goodbye to Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor who has spent so much time in Iowa that he may soon need to re-register his car. He drew less than 1 percent and withdrew from the race Monday night.

Casualties in the GOP include two former Iowa Caucus winners who were once again counting on the state’s evangelical voters: former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick

Most analysts predicted super PACs would play a huge role in the 2016 election. But Iowa showed why money has not, at least so far, bought political happiness.

Bush led all candidates in television ad spending in Iowa, with nearly $15 million, according to an analysis last week from SMG Delta, as reported by NBC News. All of that money came from Right to Rise, the juggernaut Super PAC supporting his presidential bid.

His vote in Iowa? 3 percent.

Cruz and his Super PAC spent less than half as much ($6 million). That was good enough for the win. Trump, the reality star and business mogul, spent even less, $3.3 million, and took second place.

Passengers endured an unpleasant “Delta Experience” on a recent Los Angeles to Minneapolis-St. Paul flight when fighting flight attendants forced the pilot to make an unscheduled landing in Salt Lake City. Attendants on Flight 2598 began sparring over work rules on the Jan. 22 flight, and that escalated into a fist fight as the plane soared at 37,000 feet, the Aviation Herald reported. The Boeing 757 had been in the air about 40 minutes before the midair boxing match erupted.

A third unidentified woman who stepped in to defuse the situation was hit, the publication said. After landing in Salt Lake City, the plane was grounded for 80 minutes before continuing to Minneapolis. It arrived 75 minutes late, the Herald said. On Monday, Delta Air Lines confirmed the altercation and issued a statement apologizing for the attendants’ bad behavior.

Democratic presidential candidate, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and his wife, Jane, acknowledge the crowd as he arrives for his caucus night rally Monday in Des Moines.

reflected an intense struggle between the two campaigns that had tightened dramatically in recent weeks. But while Clinton’s lead was slim, it was nonetheless critical.

Clinton’s hopes of cruising to the nomination are history. Sanders is favored to win the New Hampshire primary next week and can now make the case that he is a serious alternative. Clinton still has the advantage, particularly as the race moves to states with more minority voters, where she tends to do better.

Speaking to supporters at a rally as the final votes trickled in, Clinton declared she was “breathing a sigh of relief” and called for unity among Democrats.

“We have to be united when it is all said and done ... against a Republican vision and candidates who drive us apart and divide us,” she said as she ticked off a litany of Democratic goals, including combating climate change and a drive to “finish the job of universal health care coverage for every man, woman and child.”

Sanders, speaking just after Clinton, said that when he

A Massachusetts congresswoman says police swarmed her home after she was the victim of the kind of bogus emergency call that she’s trying to combat. U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark, a Democrat from Melrose, said she was home Sunday night with her husband and two children when police responded around 10 p.m. to what investigators described as a “computergenerated phone call” stating there was an active shooter at Clark’s home.

Melrose Police Chief Michael Lyle said police quickly determined the report was false. In November, Clark introduced legislation aimed at combatting hoax emergency calls after a string of them in her home state.

The evidence has now been mounting for months. The establishment is losing and, especially on the Republican side, may not recover. Clinton, who has been in the forefront of Democratic politics for a quarter century, fell into a tie with a self-described Democratic socialist from Vermont who has promised a political revolution.

On the Republican side, Cruz, who wears his pariahstatus in the U.S. Senate as a badge, and Trump, a reality television star and business mogul who has flouted nearly every tenet of political orthodoxy, won a combined 52 percent of the vote. Even as fourth-place finisher Carson faded, he still took 9 percent.

Establishment candidates are hoping for a comeback in New Hampshire. But that remains a big hurdle on the Republican side. Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich won a combined 30 percent of the vote in Iowa. The four candidates are drawing less than 40 percent of the combined vote in New Hampshire, according to polling averages.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, accompanied by former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, arrives at her caucus night rally at Drake University in Des Moines on Monday.

Cruz upsets Trump The GOP now has a threeman race, with valuable cards held by each of the top finishers in Iowa.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s upset victory was a testament to his methodical strategy of winning over evangelicals, tea party conservatives and libertarians.

Though New Hampshire’s more moderate GOP will be tough for him, he has great opportunities to expand his coalition in South Carolina and other early voting states in the South, where arch conservatives are strong.

Donald Trump, though he loathes losing, always expected Iowa would be tough. Second place there, combined with his big lead in New Hampshire polls, has not yet knocked him off the pedestal. But it did dent his self-made image as a guy who never loses.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is the kind of third-place finisher who can act like he won the Super Bowl. His late spike put him within about 1 percent of Trump, something few thought possible. Now, he can make the best case to unite establishment supporters who do not believe Cruz or Trump is a palatable nominee.

Will establishment ever recover?

Mass.: Rep fighting “swatting” calls is targeted

The last thing Amtrak engineer Brian Bostian remembers before May’s fatal crash in Philadelphia is pushing the throttle forward to pick up speed and then braking when he felt the train going too fast into a sharp curve, according to a transcript of his interview with federal accident investigators.

When he realized the train was about to derail, Bostian recalled holding tightly to the controls and thinking, “Well, this is it, I’m going over.” Eight people were killed, and nearly 200 were injured.

D.C.: Blackwater contractor appeals murder conviction A former Blackwater Worldwide security contractor found guilty last year for his role in a deadly Baghdad shooting has appealed his murder conviction, saying the case against him was vindictive and that prosecutors were “determined to win at all costs.” Nicholas Slatten is serving a life sentence on a charge of first-degree murder after a jury found him and three other guards guilty in the September 2007 shooting in Baghdad’s Nisoor Square. The three other contractors were found guilty of lesser offenses and also were expected to appeal later Monday.

Glitches delay Boeing contract vote

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Printing and mailing errors have delayed voting on a contract offer to white-collar union members at the Boeing Co. Corrected ballots were being mailed to members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) on Feb. 2, according to

the union’s website.

Ballots must be returned by 5 p.m. Feb. 17, eight days later than the original deadline. Votes will be tallied that night, and results will be posted on the union’s website.

“The need to send new ballots to members is an unfortunate necessity,” the union said in a statement on its website. “The printing house is giving the highest priority to our contract vote.”

The first ballots were mailed Jan. 27 to members of the union’s two biggest bargaining units — engineers and technical workers. However, some members received the wrong ballot, and there was an error on the return envelopes, SPEEA spokesman Bill Dugovich said. “The decision was made to just reprint the ballots.”

The original mailings will

not be counted if returned and should be thrown out, the union said.

The new ballots look “distinctly different from the first mailing,” SPEEA said in the statement.

The roughly 14,000 SPEEA engineers will receive envelopes marked with “Prof,” for professional, and a green bar. The See BOEING, Page A8

Airlines restore tiny perks, like pretzels

By Scott Mayerowitz

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Looks like it’s safe to bite into that burrito.

The federal agency that monitors public health says the outbreak of E. coli illness linked to Chipotle restaurants that sickened 60 people appears to be over.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday the most recent illness reported to the agency started Dec. 1.

Although the CDC closed its investigation, the source of the illness that spread to 14 states is still unknown. Chipotle executives say they may never be able to identify what made people sick.

Since then, mergers have created four mega-carriers that control more than 80 percent of

the domestic market. They started charging $25 for each checked suitcase. And more seats have been crammed into planes to maximize profits. Now the industry is making record profits.

“What has changed ,” Fernandez

says, “is that the airlines have been able to fix our core business and be able to reinvest in our customers.”

NEW YORK — After 15 years of near austerity, U.S. airlines are restoring some small perks for passengers crammed into coach.

Don’t expect ample legroom or free checked bags. But fliers will find improved snacks, a larger selection of free movies and — on a few select routes — the return of free meals.

On Monday, American Airlines became the latest carrier to add something back. It announced the return of free snacks in the economy section and more free entertainment options on some aircraft.

American, which recently merged with US Airways, hasn’t offered free snacks since 2003. US Airways stripped passengers of snacks in 2008.

Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the subsequent recession, U.S. airlines removed almost every perk imaginable on domestic flights. Hot meals disappeared along with legroom, blankets and pillows.

“It was really about survival,” says Fernand Fernandez, vice president of global marketing at American.

The statements follow more than $30 billion in potential business deals — including plans for Airbus passenger jet sales — unveiled with France and Italy last week during a trip by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose government has courted foreign investors after sanctions were lifted as part of an accord with world powers to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program.

receive a special “Identity Protection Personal Identification Number” (or IP PIN) in the mail to help protect her tax returns going forward.

She’s still waiting on the number.

So she called the IRS’ identity-protection unit again. The advice she got was simply to file her return early.

“I told them I will file as early as I can and had planned on doing that, but I have to wait until I get W-2s and 1099s, whereas the fraudsters can just make up numbers and file before me,” Crystal told me in an interview. “I am so frustrated. I feel like I’ve been left out in the cold by the IRS.” A spokesperson for the IRS said taxpayers who had their identities used to file fraudulent returns generally will be eligible for the special PIN after their cases have been resolved. This year, the IRS sent 2.7 million taxpayers IP PINs. As for Crystal, the IRS said an additional small group of taxpayers should receive their notices in the next couple weeks.

Earlier this month, the IRS announced it was beefing up measures to help taxpayers. As part of a test program, all taxpayers in the District of Columbia, Florida and Georgia — regardless of whether they are identity victims — can apply to get the six-digit IP PIN to use with their tax returns. These three locations were chosen because of their higher rates of identity theft, the IRS said.

To opt into the program, you can create an account at IRS.gov/getanippin. As part of the registration process, you’ll have to verify your identity. Please note that once you get an IP PIN, you can’t opt out. You will

have to use the number to confirm your identity on all federal tax returns you file this year and in subsequent years.

Here are some other resources to be proactive when it comes to taxrelated identity theft: ■■Read IRS Publication 4524 “Security Awareness for Taxpayers.”

■■Go to youtube.com/ user/irsvideos and look for the 13 videos in the agency’s “Identify Theft” playlist.

If you become a victim, here are some resources on irs.gov to help you start clearing things up: ■■Read this guide: “IRS Identity Theft Victim Assistance: How It Works.”

■■You have the option of requesting a copy of the fraudulent return. It will be redacted, but the IRS says there’ll be enough information to determine how your information was used.

Search for “Instructions for Requesting Copy of Fraudulent Returns.”

The FTC recently announced that people can now get a free, personalized plan to help recover from identify theft, including tips, online fillable forms and template letters. Go to identitytheft. gov. There is a customized option if someone else has used your information to file a tax return.

The site is also integrated with the FTC’s consumer complaint system and will allow identity-theft victims to file a complaint with the agency.

The timing of the site launch should really help people like Crystal. But if you become an identity theft victim, dig deep for a lot of patience, because clearing your name can be taxing. (c) 2016, Washington Post Writers Group

Lumber Liquidators fined $13 million Associated Press NEW YORK — Lumber Liquidators will pay more than $13 million for illegally importing hardwood flooring, after the company pleaded guilty to environmental crimes last year.

The Department of Justice said that Lumber Liquidators made

nicer first class cabins.

Now a bit of that wealth is trickling back to coach.

This month, American will start offering Biscoff cookies or pretzels to passengers flying between New York and San Francisco or Los Angeles.

By April, those snacks will expand to all other domestic routes. In May, American will bring back full meal service for coach passengers between Dallas and Hawaii.

“We know that we have

its food is “delicious and safe.”

People usually get sick from Shiga toxinproducing E. coli, the bacteria commonly associated with foodborne outbreaks, for two to eight days after swallowing the germ, according to the agency. Most infected people get diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

The Chipotle episode began last summer when the chain was tied to foodborne illnesses in California and Minnesota,

hardwood floors in China from illegally cut Mongolian oak trees in Russia.

Those trees are needed to protect endangered Siberian tigers and Amur leopards because their prey eats the acorns from them, the Justice Department said.

Lumber Liquidators, which was sentenced

Monday in federal court, will pay $7.8 million in criminal fines, more than $1.2 million in community service payments and nearly $970,000 in criminal forfeiture. It will also pay about $3.2 million through a related civil forfeiture.

The company also agreed to a five-year probation period.

customers who select our airline based on price and we’re really excited to offer them a product that is superior to choosing an ultra-low cost carrier,” Fernandez says.

United recently announced the return of free snacks on its flights starting in February. Delta Air Lines — the other big legacy carrier — never removed snacks, even during bankruptcy.

American also is expanding its complimentary entertainment on domestic flights with inseat TVs. Passengers will be able to choose from up to 40 movies, 60 TV shows and 300 music albums.

Delta has taken a different path, focusing more on entertainment that passengers can stream to their own devices. It now offers about 67 movies and 138 TV shows for free.

“These are token investments in the passenger experience that will not cost airlines a lot of money but are small ways to make passengers a little bit happier,” says Henry Harteveldt, the founder of travel consultancy Atmosphere Research Group. “American and United realized: We don’t let other airlines have an advantage on price, why let them have one on pretzels.”

though those cases didn’t get as much attention.

Then, at the end of October, E. coli cases were reported in Oregon and Washington, prompting the company to shut down 43 restaurants in those states. YouGov Brand Index said customer perceptions about Chipotle sank to their lowest level since it began tracking the company in 2007. That was before additional cases popped up in seven more states.

In November, Chipotle sales plunged 16 percent.

Then, an unrelated norovirus outbreak sickened dozens of students at Boston College. And

in December, the CDC reported five more cases of E. coli the previous month linked to Chipotle, which it said might be part of a different outbreak.

The company disclosed last month that it’s been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as part of a criminal investigation. It has also said it plans to open stores at 3 p.m. local time Feb. 8 to hold meetings with employees to discuss changes concerning foodsafety measures.

The chain also plans to increase its marketing and direct-mail offers this month.

The Department of Justice said that the penalty is the biggest for timber trafficking under the Lacey Act. Lumber Liquidators said in a statement Monday that it is “pleased to put this legacy issue behind us.”

The company pleaded guilty to environmental crimes in October.

union’s 6,500 technical workers will receive envelopes marked with “Tech” and an orange bar.

SPEEA members are considering a proposed six-year contract that came out of secret negotiations between the union and Boeing.

The tentative agreement, which would expire in late 2022, promises above-market wages and would soften the landing for union members who see their jobs moved out of state.

It also would freeze pension benefits in 2019 and slightly increases members’ share of health care costs. Other retirement benefits are improved to offset the pension changes.

If union members approve the offers, Boeing will have long-term agreements with its two largest unions — SPEEA and the International Associated of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ (IAM) District Lodge 751, whose contract expires in 2024.

Lawmakers are acting more out of unfounded fears than simple discomfort, however, in seeking to nullify a rule recently adopted by the state Human Rights Commission that puts into practice the law that the Legislature passed in 2006 prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Following a rule-making procedure that included four public hearings last year and opportunities for written comment on the draft rules, the commission’s antidiscrimination rules took effect at the end of December. Among them was a rule that says a transgendered person can’t be required to use a “gender segregated” restroom or locker room that is inconsistent with his or her gender

identity, meaning a transgender person who identifies as a female must be allowed to use a women’s restroom.

Some state senators reacted by proposing legislation that would repeal the rule that was dubbed by its main sponsor, Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, as the “men in the women’s locker room” rule.

Last week, following a hearing, the legislation, Senate Bill 6443, passed out of the Senate Commence and Labor Committee, on a 4-3 party-line vote.

Fears that the rule would open the doors for male sexual predators to pose as females to gain entrance into women’s rooms and locker rooms aren’t reasonable. Nothing in the law provides protections to those who would enter a gender-segregated facility under false pretenses or who act in an illegal or inappropriate manner, the Human Rights Commission says in a Q&A on its website.

Practice of the rule

elsewhere bears that out.

School districts throughout the state acted more quickly in adopting the 2006 antidiscrimination law, including Seattle and Spokane school districts. Both were among 17 schools nationwide who responded to an inquiry from Media Matters about transgender protections for students using restrooms and locker rooms. Neither reported incidents with students posing as transgendered to sneak into a locker room.

“Any questions that have come up around bathroom use for transgender students have been handled amicably,” said a spokesperson for Spokane schools.

That’s a more adult response than offered last year

by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee who said he “would have found his feminine side” to sneak into the girls’ locker room.

Instead of protection from peeping Toms and certain

presidential candidates, the actual need for protection is among the state’s transgendered population, many of whom already — and out of necessity — have been using facilities that fit their gender identity, unobtrusively and without incident.

A U.S. Department of Justice report found that about half of all transgender people are sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. And a study by the University of California at Los Angeles’ Williams Institute found that 70 percent of transgender people have experienced verbal harassment and 10 percent have suffered physical assault in situations involving restroom use in facilities opposite from their gender identity.

The state Human Rights Commission followed a public process to write and implement rules that put the 2006 antidiscrimination law into practice. To repeal the rule would be to make the law the Legislature passed moot.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT

Mental health coverage skimpy Congress passed the Mental Health Parity Act in 2008, and the state of Washington has had a Mental Health Parity law since 2005. “Parity” is the recognition of mental health conditions as equal to physical illness. Mental health treatment was historically covered at far lower levels in health insurance policies, if at all. The city of Everett, year after year, under a loophole in the law, makes an election to not comply with the Mental Healthy Parity laws. This means that employees covered by the city’s health insurance plan only have limited insurance coverage for mental health treatment. Why would the city choose to discriminate against their employees and their families who struggle with mental illness? The answer provided to me by the mayor’s office was: because the law allows it; we checked with other cities and found some other cities who do the same thing (e.g.-Bellevue, I was told); and it saves the city of Everett money.

People with brain dysfunction such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia need to be strongly encouraged and supported to seek and sustain treatment. The city’s policy on limiting access to mental health coverage is completely inconsistent with efforts to prevent violence and homelessness. The city should be committed to removing barriers to mental health treatment — not creating them.

Good schools drive homebuyers We bought our house almost 11 years ago, and it turned out to be a poor investment choice.

We tried to sell it last year to upgrade, and it was a bust.

My 13-year-old daughter was so disappointed when we took it off the market she sent me the following text, “IDC about moving. Will u let me switch rooms?” I had to stop and Google what IDC meant (I don’t care), then explain to her the proper way to spell “you.”

As the housing market normalizes, I find myself researching ways to protect my investment, and my money.

I uncovered this on Trulia.

School, city boundaries differ The author of the letter, “Marysville needs to build school,” inaccurately assumes that only children of the city of Lake Stevens attend and pay tax dollars for the Lake Stevens School District.

School district boundaries and city boundaries are not the same!

The residents of the southeast portion of Marysville are within the LSSD, and 43 percent of our tax dollars are paid directly to the LSSD. My children have all been students at the most overcrowded elementary school in our district long before they were “children of the city of Marysville.” The school districts overcrowding may come from our area with the surge in development in recent years but, along with that comes a surge of tax dollars. The city of Lake Stevens could have annexed our area, however, they let Marysville win that battle. After the annexation, our property was rezoned and property values soared, as did our property taxes. At one point, our property taxes were higher than homes located on the lake.

In spite of this, our children

Agreed: We are levied to the limit Regarding the letter, “My tax bill can’t take another levy”: I must agree with Mr. Young: We are levied to the limit now. It’s bad enough that the state doesn’t do the job that it is tasked, that is to fully fund education, but then some school districts tend to take advantage of the homeowners regarding our property taxation. Lakewood School District 306 sent us a fact sheet on the upcoming levies they are requesting. I sometime think they think that the voters do not do due diligence in regard to actually reading those mailings.

Well, at least I did and lo and behold I see that they are trying to double dip on us. Prop 1 calls for 16 percent of that levy for maintenance & operation. If you look at Prop 2, they are asking for an additional $120,000 for ‘building repairs and upgrades.’

End of federal land would end its benefits, too

T

he 187,000 acres on which sits the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge never belonged to the state of Oregon, much less the band of cowboy exhibitionists who had taken it over. This and other federal lands were acquired through conquest over, purchases from or treaties with Mexico, Russia, Spain, England, France and American FROMA HARROP Indians.

The federal government lets loggers, The federal ranchers and other busigovernment nesses make a subsidized lets loggers, living off ranchers public land, courtesy and other of the U.S. businesses taxpayer. The fees ranchers make a pay for grazing on federal subsidized land are living off considerably below those public land, charged by private landcourtesy of the owners. The U.S. taxpayer. government loses money on nearly all timber sales on public land.

Now that we’ve gotten this off our chests, let’s sympathize with the hardworking people of the rural West, losing a beautiful way of life to harsh economic realities. The growing poverty in the sparsely populated high desert of south central Oregon is shared by communities far from the region’s booming cities.

The good folks of Harney County certainly did not deserve this invasion by outsiders. They are entitled to resent the closing of the refuge along with threats against neighbors working there. The disruption spread through the community.

It’s true that the federal government owns massive amounts of Western land. It’s true that tighter environmental restrictions have curtailed some economic activity on this property. And we must recognize that many local complaints about federal management of the land have merit.

But a federal retreat from the rural West would spell economic disaster. Thinking people throughout the West understand this.

In Harney County, government paychecks account for 60 percent of earned income.

Consider this headline in The Missoulian newspaper: “Rural western Montana counties struggling mightily with loss of federal funds.” This happened during the 2014 budget wars, when Congress failed to renew the Secure Rural Schools Act and Community Self-Determination Act. Gone was $300 million in subsidies for roads, schools, government jobs and other programs.

Rural Westerners might ask themselves why so many of them buy into the “government is evil” philosophy. The conservatives they send to Washington have made common cause with Easterners eager to save their taxpayers some dollars.

Ronald Reagan famously said, “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases.” One was “if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

You don’t have to be a small-government conservative to question the trainload of subsidies that keep many rural economies moving. If a shoe factory in Massachusetts can’t make a profit, it closes. Why are the rules so different for Western agricultural businesses?

It’s easy to blame environmentalists and ignore the biggest killer of logging jobs: automation and a large forested landmass called Canada.

Rural areas benefit from the federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes program — whereby Washington sends money to counties with large tracts of federal land that local governments can’t tax. (The fairest of subsidies, the funding was cut under sequestration.)

A wildlife refuge is itself an economic asset. The federal government pays salaries and other costs of maintaining an amenity that also brings in tourists.

Do the state and local taxpayers care to bear these costs? Or would the plan be to let industry pay for the right to savage the land, except for the nicest vistas, which would be sold to billionaire “ranchers”?

Some 47 million bird watchers in America spend $40 billion a year on their passion.

Having a federal wildlife refuge in your community seems not a bad deal at all.

As Reagan said, “Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.”

Show jumping tends to be her strong suit but she loves the thrill of crosscountry riding.

On Saturday, Decher rode 7-year-old Archie, a Thoroughbred-Holsteiner cross, around the outdoor ring where they usually practice jumping. Archie was born at Polestar Farm, the son of a spirited mare Decher rode at international competitions.

“I do compete a lot,” Dechler said. “My students kind of balance me as a rider and as a coach.”

Many of the students balance their own careers with a passion for riding.

Kim Brethauer, a data analyst, lives in North Everett and boards Peter, a 12-year-old Warmblood cross, at Polestar. She goes to the farm at least three times a week, usually more.

“I spend a lot of time here just walking around and hiking,” she said. “This is not a typical boarding facility. It’s nice that they treat

me and Peter like family.”

Most boarders at Polestar are adult amateur riders who need a safe place for their horses and a welcoming group to ride with, she said. The size and beauty of the property set it apart from others.

“There used to be more places like this, but there aren’t many left where you can just come out and run and jump,” Brethauer said.

Decher and Salser bought the property in 2000 and moved there in 2007. They now have a dozen regular boarders and up to 30 horses and riders in the summer. They also have working students who intern at the farm.

Letty Moreno and Morgan Kelly are learning about horse care and barn management while getting riding lessons and helping at competitions. It’s a golden opportunity to work with a variety of horses and meet a group of riders and trainers who are “like family,” they said.

“Meika has ridden at the top level, so it’s really nice to learn from someone who’s been there,” Moreno said.

The regional competition

season starts in April in California. It ends in October in Eastern Washington.

Decher competed on the East Coast before moving to Lochsloy.

“It’s been really fun to come out from back east, where it’s kind of a pressure cooker,” she said.

From 2000 to 2007, she and Salser lived in North Carolina while taking trips to fix up the Polestar property. There used to be cattle on the farm and it hadn’t been cared for in a while, Salser said. The manure was up over his shins and the buildings were run-down.

They overhauled the farm, with a focus on protecting the Pilchuck River and a connecting creek that runs nearby. They planted a buffer of native species to help water quality and repair damage along the banks from the cattle. As biologists, they’re excited to see the health of the water and the animals that rely on it improve, Salser said.

The two met while studying biology at University of California, Davis.

Decher spent most of her life around horses and Salser, who grew up in Los

“He made me laugh. He sometimes made me cry because I could never win an argument with him when I was a kid, but he always made me proud.”

After a stint in the Army, McNall joined the Everett Fire Department in 1962.

By 1980, McNall was named Everett’s fire chief.

Congressman Al Swift sent him a congratulatory letter and poked fun at his large 6 foot, 5 inch frame.

“I know you’re going to do an excellent job,” Swift wrote. “However, you bring some qualities to the job that others don’t have. For example, with your size, if a fire is resistant to being put out by normal methods, you can simply fall on

it and smother the flames.”

During McNall’s tenure, Everett introduced paramedic service and planned new fire stations for the growing city.

Jim Langus, chief administrative assistant to Everett Mayor Bill Moore, worked closely with McNall.

“Doug had good judgment and he didn’t back away from making difficult decisions,” Langus said.

Langus said he was impressed by McNall’s involvement in community events. That list included Special Olympics, Salty Sea Days, the Scottish Highland Games, the Greater Everett Athletic Association, Evergreen Kiwanis and developing Kasch Park.

Her name is Isis, and she’s keeping it

S

he’s 18 months old.

She has a flashy Minnie Mouse car, enchanting smile and a bounce to her step.

But it’s her name that grabs attention.

It’s a name associated more with terrorists than spirited toddlers.

Her name is Isis.

“I don’t think it’s a shame that I named her that or it’s something bad,” said her mom, Priscilla Thompson, of Monroe. “I had a woman approach me and say ‘I’m so sorry.’ Like it was a big tragedy. But I don’t think of it like that.”

Priscilla and her husband, Wayne, chose their daughter’s name after the Egyptian goddess.

“Her dad and I have always really been into Egyptian mythology and culture and spirituality,” said Priscilla, 26, a singer-songwriter who grew up in Kirkland.

“Isis means ‘of the throne.’

When I found out I was having a girl I was like, ‘She is going to be my little princess.’ I love her name. It means so much to us personally, what we believe in.”

In American pop culture, Isis was the alter ego of a seemingly normal schoolteacher who transforms into an Egyptian goddess with superpowers in the 1970s TV show “The Secrets of Isis.” DC Comics created a superheroine modeled after her.

These days, the name is used, over and over, in newscasts and headlines when referring to violent extremists worldwide.

“When I was pregnant it was going on a little but it wasn’t as blasted on the news as it is now,” Priscilla said. “I feel I need to preface her name now. Like, ‘Oh, I know it’s bad timing but her name is Isis.’ It’s kind of a pain but we live with it.”

Some parents of children named Isis have started campaigns urging the news media to stop using “ISIS,” which stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and instead use “ISIL,” or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

“ISIS is an acronym. Her name doesn’t have all capital letters,”

Isis Thompson plays with her mom, Priscilla Thompson, who says she is used to getting reactions about her daughter’s name.

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

BY ANDREA BROWN More: www.heraldnet.com/ whatsup.

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 Priscilla said.

“I’ve had someone ask if I am going to change her name.”

No, she is not.

“She already knows herself as Isis,” she said.

Ironically, she never planned to give her daughter a unique name after being the lone Priscilla in classrooms of Ashleys, Amandas and Jessicas.

“I could never find my name on anything, I could never get a tourist thing,” she said.

According to babynameshub. com, an online site that analyzes names from 1880 to now, in the U.S. there have been 1,035,028 baby girls named Jessica. By contrast, 115,488 girls have been named Priscilla in the past 135 years (with the greatest number born in 1942) and only 8,090 American girls have been named Isis, with the most, 506, born in 2005.

Comments about Isis on the baby-name site express fondness for the name as it relates to the goddess and also blame the media for using it as a convenient acronym.

Priscilla’s mother, Alina Christ,

of Snohomish, is used to the reactions to her granddaughter’s name.

“We get it all the time,” Christ said. “People need to be educated. Isis is an Egyptian goddess.

We are not part of the ISIS group.

That’s not why she was named that. It has nothing to do with that. Everybody’s name has a history.”

She named Priscilla after Priscilla Presley, ex-wife of Elvis.

And, yep, with a last name of Christ, she often gets “Is your middle name Jesus?” even though it is pronounced “krist.”

Priscilla said she has no regrets about naming her daughter Isis, though that’s not to say she hasn’t made some adjustments.

“I’ve noticed I call her ‘Ice’

the chat

SNOHOMISH Hembree, 42, and his wife, Julie, started homebrewing beer 21 years ago. They opened Skip Rock Distillers in Snohomish in 2010. They have two sons, Carter, 2, and Mason, 5.

What are you wearing?

Jeans, button-up shirt and some dress shoes. A bit more dressed up than normal as I’ve got some accounts to call on today.

If you could drink a cocktail with anyone alive or in history who would it be?

George Washington. We’d drink his rye whiskey, chatting about his distillery and the start of the nation. That would be a great way to spend an afternoon.

What are things in your distillery toolkit?

A tasting glass, alcohol meter and a notepad.

What’s the craziest or best thing that ever happened in the distillery?

It was pretty cool to have Scott Rockenfield, the drummer for Queensrÿche, come into the distillery two years ago. He was a big fan of our vodka and wanted to get some more. He signed a bottle for us and has become a friend. He lives locally and is a great guy. I even got an autographed cymbal from his drum set as a Christmas gift this year. I gave him a bottle of our new Double Barrel Rum. What’s the weirdest drink you ever had?

INSIDE: Comics, 2

Brian, one of our distillers, looked up old colonial rum cocktails and some of them involved raw eggs, rum and a red hot poker. Yup, those were some fun but weird creations.

What is your biggest worry as a distiller?

Safety of my distillers and just being able to keep making our great whiskey and spirits.

What’s your dream spirit to distill?

Rye whiskey, and we’ve been lucky enough to have ours recognized as being some of the best in the nation. So, my dream to make a locally sourced awardwinning whiskey has already come true.

Now I just have to keep up with demand. I really do love making whiskey, but rum is a close second.

What’s your favorite drink recipe?

I’ve got two. First is a King Cole. It’s a whiskey drink that I believe was developed around 1919 and I love it with our rye.

The other is simply our Nocino (walnut liqueur) on the rocks. We harvest local walnut trees and it is seriously one of my favorite products to sip on.

What are some new products in the works?

We have some barrel-aged liqueurs that are amazing and should be out this spring.

We also have a new gin that we’ll release that is testing out to be wonderful. Another new product is a coffee liqueur that we’ve partnered with a local coffee roaster, Balam Coffee. It has amazing coffee and chocolate notes. We also collaborated with Scuttlebutt Brewery on an amazing Nocino

now,” Priscilla said. “A lot of it is, when we go out in public and I say her name people stop and then they realize I am calling her name. We were at Alderwood mall a couple weeks ago and I took her to go play and she was about to jump off something and I was like, ‘Isis!’ And some guy, he was on the phone and he stopped and looked up and around and he had this look on his face.”

She’s cautious yet optimistic about the future of her daughter’s name.

“She has to go to school someday. And I can just hear it, ‘Your parents are terrorists,’ ” she said.

“I hope one day she’ll be able to go to school and kids aren’t going to say anything.”

My main emphasis is use quality local ingredients, don’t make it too sweet and don’t hurry it to market.

My main emphasis is use quality local ingredients, don’t make it too sweet and don’t hurry it to market (quality products take time).

Dear Abby, 3

The births of my two boys, no question about it. My wife, Julie, did amazing and we’ve got two great little boys as a result.

What are three things in your refrigerator at home?

I’d say three things that are always there include cheese (we eat a lot of it), my wife’s homemade ginger beer and a huge selection of sauces for cooking.

What is your pet peeve?

Open cabinet doors. How hard is it to close them?

What is your guilty pleasure?

Nocino over Snoqualmie Ice Cream Company’s vanilla ice cream. Maybe throw a warm brownie in there, too. It’s a beautiful thing!

What does the future hold?

I can’t wait to keep growing with our local supporters and collaborators like Scuttlebutt, Emory’s Restaurant, The Repp Restaurant, Haggen and others here in the Snohomish County area. This is our back yard and where my wife and I grew up. We also plan to expand distribution greatly soon and work with new states for our rums, vodkas, liqueurs and, of course, whiskey.

Tot’s dad preference bums out mom

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Lately my toddler son has shown a very strong preference for my husband. This affects everything from our morning routine (he wants Dada to get him dressed), to meals (he wants to play with my husband, not me, so I am always stuck cooking lest we endure an hour-long temper tantrum), to playtime. If I do try to spend time with my son while my husband is around, my son immediately starts crying for my husband.

This is (I hope) a normal part of child development, but it is still hard on me. I miss spending one-on-one time with my son, and it seems the only way this can happen is when my husband is not there. I floated the idea to my husband that maybe he could go in to work early a couple days a week to give me some one-on-one time with our son, and he rejected the idea outright. He said that it is wrong for me to strengthen my bond with my son by weakening his own relationship with him.

Is this right? Am I out of line?

— Not Preferred I have a hard time seeing how two mornings a week would weaken a father’s bond to his son.

I also would like to see more support between parents; he knows

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT you’re struggling with rejection, but won’t throw you two hours a week to alleviate your pain?

Instead he makes it a competition?

Especially given that being The Parent In Favor can actually be exhausting, since it means you’re constantly on toddler duty, this mystifies me.

So I wonder what preceded this situation; it’s so oriented to “protecting mine” versus “protecting yours,” instead of the much healthier “nourishing ours.” Has your relationship always been competitive, or is this new?

There’s also a logistical point I shouldn’t ignore: Even if I were eager to support my spouse’s kid time, I wouldn’t be thrilled at being pressured to leave for work early. If instead you suggested I take a weeknight for friends or hobbies, then you’d be getting somewhere.

Still, these are deck chairs where possessiveness of your son is the Titanic. That has to be addressed before anything else. “There’s no way I’d want to weaken your bond to our son, and I’m stunned that you’d think me capable of that. I’m just asking for a little time each week. If his preference changes, then I’ll do the same for you.” If that isn’t a yoo-hoo moment for his better self, then you’ll need to look at the broader history and implications here.

Re: Toddler Preferences: Once they’ve got that worked out and are a well-functioning team, they can work on this: It’s fine to let the toddler control some things about his life. The parents together need to decide which ones.

At my house it would have been: Go along with his choice of helper with getting dressed, but he does not get to decide who cooks dinner. Cheerful, calm acceptance of the one-hour tantrum is probably the price of this, and new policies may need to be instituted during the weekend when everyone isn’t so exhausted from work. But it’s good to consciously decide which decisions are to be made by adults.

Neighbors’ neglected dog causes big stink Dear Abby: We recently bought a new home and have discovered that our elderly neighbors are caring for their grandson’s dog. The dog lives in a 3-by-6-foot area right next to our patio. The poor animal receives little attention and is rarely cleaned up after. As a consequence, our patio reeks of dog feces, and we are overwhelmed by flies.

I feel bad for the couple, and I resent the grandson for allowing his dog to be neglected and for failing to have any consideration for the stench that makes our patio off-limits to us. How can I politely ask my new neighbors to clean up after their dog so we can enjoy our new home without offending them or creating a bad neighbor situation?

— “Shoo Fly” In Bakersfield, Calif.

Dear Shoo Fly: If your neighbors are unable to properly care for their grandson’s dog, they shouldn’t have it. A dog is a responsibility — the animal needs feeding, exercise, social contact and to be cleaned up after. To shirk that responsibility is cruel.

It would not be offensive to inform these neighbors that the odor and flies from their dog run are so overwhelming that they prevent you from enjoying your patio. Speak up, or they’ll think you haven’t noticed. If this continues, call animal control or a pet rescue group.

Dear Abby: I have been in a rocky relationship for 10 months, and I’m not sure how you get out. I have tried multiple times to leave, but every time I tell her, she begs me not to, says horrible things and threatens to kill herself.

She says she’ll never be happy again, that I “always do this” and it hurts her so much. It makes me feel so bad I just give in and give her what she wants.

She doesn’t trust me. I have to give her all of my passwords and she checks my phone daily. She has to know everything I’m doing, and if I don’t tell her, look out! The next world war is going to happen. I have told her many times that if she can’t trust me, there’s no way we can be together because it will make a miserable life for both of us.

Her constant worrying whether I’m going to leave her is starting to get to me. I really can’t take this anymore. I have considered some extreme things to get out because I’m so unhappy, and I know she is, too. I have tried everything. Please help me.

— Stuck In A Nightmare Dear Stuck: It is time you realize that you can’t fix what’s wrong with this woman. Her insecurities are a bottomless pit. You have described a hostage relationship, not a loving one.

So pack your things and get out of there NOW. If she threatens suicide and you know how to contact her family, alert them after you have gone. But do not pause, do not explain and do not look back. Your safety and your sanity depend upon it.

Signe Anderson, original Jefferson Airplane singer Signe Toly Anderson, a vocalist and original member of the Jefferson Airplane who left the band after its first record and was replaced by Grace Slick, has died.

Anderson died Thursday at her home in Beaverton, Oregon, according to her daughter, Onateska Ladybug Sherwood. Anderson was 74 and had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Anderson, who survived cancer in her 30s, died on the same day that another Airplane member, Paul Kantner, died.

Born Signe Toly in Seattle and raised in Portland, Oregon, moved to San Francisco in her 20s and

for video of the year for “Mr. Misunderstood,” and vocal event of the year for “Raise ‘Em Up” with Keith Urban.

Stapleton earned two nominations for album of the year category for his “Traveller,” as both artist and coproducer. Chris Young, Thomas Rhett and Sam Hunt are also nominated for album of the year. Stapleton, 2015’s breakout country artist with four Grammy nominations, also earned nominations for new male vocalist of the year and vocal event of the year

joined what became the Jefferson Airplane, which soon became a top local act and in 1966 released “The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off,” which included a showcase for Anderson and her soulful contralto, “Chauffeur Blues.”

But by the time the album came out, Anderson had given birth to her first child and she departed after a show at the Fillmore in October 1966.

“You have to look at the priorities in your life, the reality in your life,” Anderson told radio station KGON in Portland in 2011.

“I don’t regret having left,” she added.

Finlay’s family said he died of heart failure Saturday at his home in Weybridge, southern England.

Handsome, deep-voiced and capable of both charm and menace, Finlay was a founding member of Britain’s National Theatre company.

He played Iago, nemesis to Olivier’s Othello, onstage and in a 1965 film adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy, for which he was Oscar-nominated as best supporting actor.

Other film roles included Porthos in Richard Lester’s big-budget 1973 take on “The Three Musketeers” — and two sequels — and the main character’s father in Roman Polanski’s “The Pianist.”

Top chef found dead, apparently took own life

PARIS — Swiss police say 3-star chef Benoit Violier, whose restaurant near Lausanne recently topped a list of the world’s best, has been found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. He was 44.

Police said in a statement that Violier was found dead in his home late Sunday afternoon in the municipality of Crissier.

An investigation has been opened to determine the exact circumstances of the death, police said.

Violier’s establishment, the Restaurant de l’Hotel de Ville in Crissier, was ranked first on a French government-sponsored list of the world’s top 1,000 restaurants.

NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT DAY

Huskies ‘did a great job’

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

As the college football recruiting campaign moves into its final day, the University of Washington

is poised to add 17 players to its roster for the 2016 season.

Maybe more if the Huskies get lucky at the 11th hour. And possibly less if that luck goes the other way.

As always in recruiting, nothing is ever settled until players put their signatures on national letters-of-intent, which they can begin doing Wednesday morning. But if the day unfolds

as expected, the Huskies are expected to sign a class that is smaller than most years — typically they add between 20 and 25 See HUSKIES, Page C2

Super Bowl circus goes prime time

By Eddie Pells Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Calif. — What happens when you put Peyton Manning, Miss Universe, an orange-and-blue leprechaun and 200 TV cameras into the same room?

Answer: Super Bowl Opening Night.

The NFL took a good idea gone surreal — what used to be known as “Media Day” — gave it a new name, added a live cover band and moved the whole thing to prime time Monday to kick off Super Bowl week between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers.

This new and amped-up interview-fest came complete with a guy walking around inside an inflatable football and a newly choreographed players’ introduction that involved all 60 players from each team walking out onto a four-story-high catwalk.

“I had no idea that was a bridge we were standing on,” said Manning, getting ready for his fourth Super Bowl.

And yet, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

“Will you kiss my wife?” one questioner shouted to Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who answered his hour’s worth of questions with a sports-drink-themed towel wrapped around his head.

“I don’t think I can do that,” Newton said.

Cascade High School football player Josh Watson plans to sign a national letter of intent with Washington State University on Wednesday. Watson is a 6-foot-41⁄2, 265-pound offensive lineman.

Bruin about to become a Coug Cascade High School football standout Josh Watson plans to sign with Washington State on Wednesday

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EVERETT — After falling in love with football as a boy, Josh Watson began to dream of one day playing in college.

But over the next few years, and even as he got bigger, faster and stronger, “I never had an idea of (playing in) the Pac-12,” Watson said.

Of course, that is the great thing about dreams. Farfetched as they can sometimes seem, they also

can sometimes come true.

And so it is for Watson. Just weeks before his senior season at Cascade High School, he made an informal visit to Washington State University. The Cougars had been studying film from Watson’s junior year and evidently liked what they saw — on his trip to Pullman they offered him the chance to become a Cougar.

On Wednesday, Watson will make the deal official when he signs an NCAA letter of intent to play football at Washington State.

To say he is thrilled is an understatement. “I’m so blessed to have this,” he said.

Watson wants to study business in college, “and they have a good business program at Washington State, so it’s the best fit for me academically,” he explained.

“And the coaches are amazing. I love them. And it’s close to home and I have a lot of friends that go there. … I found the perfect match for me and it’s Wazzu.”

According to NCAA rules, WSU coaches are not permitted to talk about recruits until signed letters of intent are received. But See WATSON, PAGE C3

any concessions. Chancellor wants his contract redone, but he has two years remaining, and the Seahawks are steadfast about not renegotiating contracts until there’s just one year left. This situation is going to come to a head again this offseason unless one side budges.

A big part of Chancellor’s objections is the lack of guaranteed money over the final two years of his contract, so the Seahawks have the option of cutting him without suffering much in the way of consequences.

Chancellor is 27 and was just named to his fourth Pro Bowl, but he’s thought to be an old 27 given the physical nature of his play and the surgeries he’s undergone in the past. What the Seahawks decide to do with Chancellor will be one of the biggest stories of the offseason.

McCray played well filling in for Chancellor late in the season, so he’s a potential option. But if Seattle and Chancellor can find a solution that satisfies both parties, the Seahawks will be in good shape at safety.

Tips sign draft pick Herald news services EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips announced Monday they have signed forward Brett Kemp to a Western Hockey League Standard Player Agreement.

“Getting Brett signed was a high priority of ours and we’re excited for the potential he has with our club in the future,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said in a statement released by the team.

“He caught our attention as a player who stood out by putting up solid numbers and has continued to make strides in his game.”

Kemp, born in 2000, was selected by the Silvertips with their first pick — a second-round selection (41st overall) — in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.

Eastside Catholic running back/linebacker/defensive back Brandon Wellington (left) and Bellevue cornerback Isaiah Gilchrist, shown playing in the Class 3A state high school football championship game in December of 2015, are expected to sign letters of intent with the Huskies on Wednesday.

players — but also one brimming with potential.

Due to the smaller size, “it might not be rated as highly (nationally and in the Pacific-12 Conference),” said Greg Biggins, a recruiting analyst for Fox Sports and Scout.com. “But in terms of overall talent (the Huskies) did a great job. That staff has clearly shown they can recruit.”

In future recruiting seasons, Biggins added, UW head coach Chris Petersen and his assistants “are definitely going to be a force.”

The Huskies expect to pick up every player in Washington they pursued with the exception of Lake Stevens High School quarterback Jacob Eason, who has already enrolled at Georgia. The in-state players include cornerback Isaiah Gilchrist of Bellevue High School; punter Van Soderberg of Olympia’s Capital High School; defensive end Amandre Williams of Maple Valley’s Tahoma High School; safety Taylor Rapp of Bellingham’s Sehome High School; and Brandon Wellington from Sammamish and Eastside Catholic High School who could play linebacker, defensive back or running back.

Washington also has commitments from seven California players, including three that Biggins says have the chance to be college standouts _

cornerback Kentrell Love from Corona, offensive lineman Lute Wattenberg from San Juan Capistrano, and linebacker Camilo Eifler from Oakland.

“Kentrell Love just has a long, lean, athletic body, he’s super tough and physical, and he plays with a real attitude and edge,” Biggins said. “I’m not comparing him, but he kind of has that same frame that Richard Sherman has. He’s 6-2, he’s real fluid and he can run.”

Wattenberg “has a chance to be an All-Pac-12 guy,” Biggins went on. “He’s just extremely athletic, he has a great frame, he’s real good laterally, and he just plays with what I think is a perfect mindset to be an elite Pac-12 tackle.”

As for Eifler, “he’s got every physical tool you could want.

Plus he’s a tough kid. ... He’s got a chance to be real special.”

Because college recruiting is less than an exact science, less heralded players sometimes turn into stars a few years later.

Asked for a dark-horse pick in Washington’s class, Biggins pointed to wide receiver Jordan Chin from West Hills, Calif., who committed after picking up a UW offer just over a week ago.

“He’s a track guy who’s got real good speed,” Biggins said.

“He’s a legit 4.4 guy (in the 40-yard dash) and he is a real fluid athlete, too. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple of years he was really contributing.”

The Huskies are still in the running, though apparently not the frontrunners, for two uncommitted players, plus a

third who is committed but reportedly wavering. Tight end Devin Asiasi and defensive lineman Boss Tagaloa, teammates from prestigious De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., will both make signingday decisions and both have Washington as a finalist.

Biggins sees Tagaloa as “a pretty solid UCLA lean,” but is less certain about Asiasi. “I wouldn’t be surprised if (Asiasi) chose any of his final four schools — Washington, USC, UCLA and Michigan.” Biggins said he was also chatting with a coach from a rival school “and they still feel Washington has a good chance to get in there (for Asiasi).”

Meanwhile, the Huskies have apparently not let up in their efforts to coax wide receiver N’Keal Harry from Chandler, Ariz., out of his commitment to Arizona State. Harry is friends with Byron Murphy of nearby Scottsdale, Ariz., who committed to Washington two weeks ago.

That said, ASU is still trying to persuade Murphy to switch his commitment, “and I know there’s some nervousness (among UW coaches) about him. Arizona State is still recruiting him really, really heavily,” Biggins said.

“I think there’s a better chance of Byron Murphy going (to ASU) than of N’Keal Harry coming (to Washington),” he added. But if Harry opted for the Huskies “that wouldn’t surprise me because that was probably his No. 2 choice.”

Lacrosse

could shift to 4-3-3

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

Why are the Seattle Sounders thinking of shifting to a 4-3-3 formation this season?

Because a 4-2-4 would probably be too extreme.

Still, there is much appeal in Seattle getting four of its most talented players on the field as often as possible, even though they’re all listed as forwards: Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins, Nelson Valdez and rookie Jordan Morris.

It was at Morris’ introductory press conference when coach Sigi Schmid floated the news that he was leaning toward more use of the 4-3-3 this season — four defenders, three midfielders, three forwards — more often this season, as opposed to Seattle’s more typical 4-4-2.

“I’ve always been a coach who feels you have to evaluate the talent that you have on your team, and devise a system of play that enhances everybody’s abilities to contribute and gives them an opportunity,” Schmid said.

The Sounders could unveil that new look Wednesday when they play their first friendly of the new season against the Vancouver Whitecaps in Tucson, Arizona. If so, returning veterans Dempsey, Martins and Valdez would likely play up top, as Morris will spend the rest of this week at the United States national team camp in Carson, California.

“I’m feeling good with the two strikers,” Valdez told SoundersFC. com over the weekend. “I think we can work together to put our team in the best formation.”

Schmid cautions fans not to put too much stock in the numbers.

Positions assigned on a lineup sheet can become far more fluid in the heat of a game.

“I was watching a team and it was listed as a 4-4-2, but is sure looked like a 4-3-3 to me,” he said last week. “So, I don’t think you can get all hung up on that and too bogged down with that either.

I think what teams are looking for is to try and counteract other teams being successful in terms of their possession of the ball, and then the question is: OK teams are possessing the ball better, so where do you want to give them possession? Is it in the middle part of the field? Is it on the wide channels? Those are the decisions that you make and put guys out there and create a system that complements the strengths of your players.”

For now, the Sounders’ primary strength appears to be at forward where Dempsey, Martins and Valdez are all designated players, and Morris is believed to have signed the richest homegrown-player contract in the history of Major League Soccer.

However, Schmid points out that all are on the radar of their respective national teams to one degree or another, and all but Morris are over age 30, so there are likely to be plenty of games where one or more is unavailable.

Behind them are a cluster of prospects such as Oalex Anderson, Andy Craven, Darwin Jones and Victor Mansaray.

Accommodating them with an added forward on the pitch will come at the expense of one midfielder. And this Sounders camp seems to have plenty of competition there too, with holdovers Osvaldo Alonso, Cristian Roldan, Erik Friberg, Aaron Kovar and Andreas Ivanschitz joined by MLS veteran Michael Farfan, who was acquired in an offseason trade.

“We have time to work on the 4-3-3 — little by little to get used to that system,” Alonso said.

“But you have to play soccer, you know: play our game and do the best for the team.”

The advantage is getting more goal-dangerous Sounders onto the pitch. The disadvantage is fewer players behind them.

“As long as the tactics are right, as long as we’re playing well, getting chances with it, that will be good,” Dempsey said. “But it’s how you play it. You don’t play it right you can get punished. It just depends on how you build in the attack and how you get exposed defensively when you are attacking. … It’s something that we need to work on and train, the movements of everybody, the partnerships and how we’re going to play.”

Shorecrest senior Grant Hiesey practices last week at Shoreline Pool. Heisey is among the favorites to win the 200- and 500-yard freestyle races at this year’s Class 2A state meet.

‘Definitely an elite swimmer’

Tireless dedication has turned Shorecrest’s Grant Heisey into one of the best in the state

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SHORELINE — Grant Heisey is close to a 4.0 student with enough leadership and character qualities that he hopes to gain admittance to the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. He also enjoys mountain biking and skiing in his spare time, he has taken classes in the Japanese language, and he recently received his Eagle Scout award, the highest rank in Boy Scouting.

Impressive as all that is, there is more. During the school week Heisey rises at 4:15 a.m., and by 4:45 he is at the swimming pool for a 90-minute workout with his club team. After school he is back in the water for practice with the rest of the Shorecrest High School team.

In all, he usually spends between 15 and 20 hours a week in training.

Such is the price of excellence, but it is paying off for Heisey, who is one of the elite high school swimmers in the state. As the end of the season approaches, the Shorecrest senior is hoping to cap his high school career with a pair of Class 2A state titles, most likely in the 200- and 500-yard freestyles. He placed second in both events a year ago.

Shorecrest coach Scott Kelley said the decision about Heisey’s individual events at state is still undetermined. “As a team, we’re looking to place as high as possible, so we’ll look at what’s best for our team as far as points and relays,” he explained. “But I definitely try to respect an individual’s goals and wishes that we set at the first of the year, and the 500 was a goal of his.

Added Kelley: “I’d be surprised if he had anything less than first in the 500, if we go that route. …

In my opinion, he might be the most elite swimmer coming into

the (Class 2A state) meet. I’ve coached some pretty fast swimmers (over the years), including some kids who’ve gone on to swim in college, and he’s definitely in that category.

“Probably what stands out is his amazing ability in practice to push himself farther than most kids can. … He’s definitely an elite swimmer.”

Heisey took up swimming when he was 5, and his love for the sport led him eventually to give up basketball and tee-ball.

His best events are the mid-distance freestyles and the butterfly, and he is also good in the backstroke and individual medley.

The breaststroke, he admitted with a smile, “is definitely my worst.”

At state he likely would be the favorite in both the 200 and 500 freestyles, but he is also aiming for All-American consideration times, particularly in the latter where he is about two seconds shy of the goal. The good news, his times should improve as he tapers his training in the season’s final weeks.

exertion of his training, Heisey admits there is sometimes a mental and physical toll.

“I know people that stopped club swimming their sophomore or junior years of high school and they are absolutely glad they did,” he said. “And there are also times when I’ll have a couple of bad practices in a row or maybe there’s a week when I just don’t feel good, and then I’ll wonder if it’s really worth it. But overall I’m glad that I’m doing it.”

Heisey is being sponsored in his bid for acceptance to West Point by U.S. Representative Jim McDermott of Seattle. The decision to apply came after Heisey received a recruiting pamphlet from the academy in his sophomore year, “which kind of got that idea in my mind,” he said.

“I’ve always been patriotic and I’ve thought about serving my country, but I’ve also wanted to go to college. So the more I’ve learned about West Point, the more I’ve gotten intrigued about it and I thought it’d be a real good college to attend.

“It’s definitely an honor that I’m even being considered,” he added.

I’ve coached some pretty fast swimmers, including some kids who’ve gone on to swim in college, and he’s definitely in that category — Scott Kelley Shorecrest swim coach, on senior Grant Hiesey

Heisey, who wants to study engineering in college while also continuing to swim, has already written three essays and undergone medical and fitness examinations as part of the application process, and he is waiting for final word sometime in the coming weeks. He took an official recruiting visit to the campus last spring and had the chance to tour different facilities. “I actually got to tour their engineering building and it was real impressive,” he said.

If he is not admitted to West Point, Heisey expects to attend Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., where he has already been accepted. Either way, he said, “I’m going to miss (being at home), but I’m also excited to go somewhere (outside of Washington) and experience life there.”

Wherever he ends up, Heisey’s future seems truly promising.

“He a very highly motivated individual,” Kelley said. “He has goals and he knows what he has to do to get them.”

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Corey Kispert King’s | Boys Basketball

Kispert, a junior, scored 32 points and made six 3-pointers in a 68-44 win over Granite Falls on Tuesday.

Kispert also had 26 points in an 8135 win over Cedarcrest on Friday.

Kispert and the defending 1A state champion Knights were ranked third in the most recent AP poll.

Kanyi, the No. 4 ranked 3A wrestler at 120 pounds in the state, beat Arlington’s Gavin Rork, who is ranked No. 3 ranked 3A wrestler at 126 pounds, 12-7 on Friday. Kanyi’s victory helped propel the Warriors to a 37-24 win over Arlington. It was the Eagles first loss of the season.

Madeline Smith Snohomish | Girls Basketball Smith, a senior, had 24 points in a 47-39 win over Mariner on Wednesday and bested that performance with a 25-point effort in a 53-38 victory over Kamiak on Friday. After starting the season 0-3, Smith and the Panthers have won 14 games in a row and have a one-game lead over Monroe for first place in Wesco 4A.

Watson From Page C1

Cascade coach Shane Keck said the Cougar staff saw plenty of film of Watson “and they like his aggressiveness.” In addition, they like that the 6-4½, 265-pound Watson “has very wide shoulders.

They see that frame and they think they can tack on some weight.”

Sending a player to a Pac-12 school “is pretty cool for Josh and for our football program,” Keck added. “He’s a great kid and a super-hard worker.”

Watson’s scholarship will include tuition, room and board, books and other benefits. If he stays in Pullman for five years — and that is likely, since he is expecting to redshirt as a freshman — Keck figures the scholarship will be worth about $125,000.

“There’ll be a ton of work,” Keck pointed out. Being a Division I football player “is very strenuous and difficult, but the reward is the opportunity to play football and get your school paid for. And I think that’s really neat.”

Watson received six other Division I scholarship offers — Idaho, Boise State, Fresno State, TexasEl Paso, Nevada and Cal-Davis — and he had more offers from smaller schools. But he committed on his trip to Pullman last summer, and he followed up with an official visit to the campus in mid-January. Last week, WSU coach Mike Leach was in Everett for an in-home visit with Watson and his parents.

A week after his high school graduation, Watson will head to Pullman to begin a summer bridge program, which is intended to help incoming students prepare for the college academic experience. In August, the Cougars start practicing for the 2016 season.

Elway won’t rush Manning into decision

Media From Page C1

Suffice to say, Manning and Newton — one a five-time MVP, the other a strong favorite to win his first later this week — couldn’t have seen a lot of this coming, no matter how hard they prepared.

Who would play you in a movie? “Maybe a young Robert Redford,” Manning said.

Another reporter — or make that, person with a credential — asked Manning to look into the camera and wish a Happy Chinese New Year to all his friends in that part of the world.

At one point, a reporter from a Spanish-language station cranked up some bass-heavy music and pleaded with Newton to dance.

He passed. “Got to be feeling it,” he explained.

All of this thoughtfully brought to prime time by the NFL for the first time in the 50-year history of the Super Bowl.

For decades, Media Day was a Tuesday-at-noonish affair — scheduled so as not to interrupt the teams’ schedules and to give writers the rest of the week to craft the stories.

But this year, the NFL moved it to Monday night, where minor details like dress code, off-color banter and 8-year-olds asking football players questions after bedtime barely raise an eyebrow.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora described the scheduling change as one that allows “more fans (to) experience what has grown to become a very unique, popular Super Bowl event.”

Conveniently, the NFL-owned NFL Network captured all the action live.

Surprising they didn’t do this earlier. It’s a nod to the reality that “Media Day” has long been a “journalism-free zone” — one in which fans have willingly, for the last five years, paid money for tickets that allow them to sit in the stands and watch the madness unfold.

Speaking of which ...

Late in the Broncos session, Rocky the Leprechaun — a regular at Broncos games over the years — laid a dollar bill out on the blue carpeting of SAP Center and waited to see if someone would pick it up. Several minutes passed. Nobody did.

“Crazy to see that,” he said.

What makes this week so great?

“There’s a lot of happiness,” said the gnome-turned-sociologist. “This world needs all the happiness it can get.”

Only one team will be happy come Sunday night. The Panthers are favored. Manning is a sentimental favorite; at 39, many people expect he’ll retire after this one.

That was one of the few actual news angles being worked on during Denver’s hour of fun behind the mic.

“I haven’t made up my mind and I don’t see myself knowing until the season’s over,” Manning said.

Also, the Broncos were involved in a minor bus crash after practice. There were no injuries. “Just adds to the intrigue of what we’ve had all year,” Manning said.

Back to the important stuff.

Miss Universe, also known as Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Phillipines, one of the 5,500 “reporters” with credentials for Super Bowl-week festivities, answered more questions than she asked. Most had to do with Steve Harvey. “Yes, I am the real Miss Universe,” she said, referencing Harvey’s embarrassing gaffe a few weeks back.

Wurtzbach, who is working for Inside Edition at the Super Bowl, was busy interviewing the Denver Broncos in the first team session of media day, but she had plenty of Broncos lining up waiting to not only answer her questions but make sure and get a photo with the reigning Miss Universe.

From the costumes, to the beauty queens, to the guys dressed up like Sesame Street’s Swedish Chef, this prime-time special had pretty much everything — except for Donald Trump, who was waiting on caucus results in Iowa.

Manning was asked to recollect a meeting with Trump a few years back. Maybe someday, Newton will meet The Donald, too.

“I tell kids, that oval-shaped pigskin can take you a lot of places,” said the Panthers quarterback, who won the national college championship with Auburn a few years back. “It’s taken me to the White House.”

And to this place. Kickoff is less than a week away.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis broke a bone in his right forearm during the NFC championship.

Playing with pain Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis is not the first NFL player willing to play with a serious injury in the Super Bowl.

By Karen Garloch The Charlotte Observer

Should Carolina Panthers’ linebacker Thomas Davis play in the Super Bowl with a broken arm?

That’s the question many have asked since Davis vowed he’ll play in the game Sunday, only two weeks after breaking a bone in his right forearm during the NFC Championship game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Davis had surgery the next day to stabilize the fracture, and has told reporters he plans to play and isn’t concerned about the risk of re-injury.

“I’m gaining my strength back in my hand and my arm and fully expect to be playing next Sunday,” Davis said.

For most of us, a broken bone takes six to 10 weeks to heal. But for professional athletes, standards are different.

“Football players probably push the envelope more than other athletes,” said Dr. Claude T. Moorman III, executive director of the Duke Sports Sciences Institute and former team doctor for the Baltimore Ravens.

“Nothing really surprises me about what these guys can live with and what they want to do, because they’re so driven,” said Moorman, who has not been involved with Davis’ or the team’s care. “... Our job is to help them walk that fine line between achieving their goals and staying safe.”

Moorman recalled a Ravens player who broke his finger during the Super Bowl against the New York Giants in 2000. The player’s knuckle had broken through the skin. Moorman numbed the finger and prepared for a hospital transport.

But the player refused. Moorman recalled his words: “Doc, it’s the Super Bowl. Just cut it off.”

Instead, Moorman put the finger in a cast, and the player went back in the game, making two sacks in the second half. Moorman remembers fondly the post-game celebration with the player “holding up the Lombardi trophy with one hand and the cast on the other.”

The player later came to see Moorman at Duke for an operation on his knee. “Like a lot of those players, he’s got a lot of wear and tear on his body,” Moorman said, “but his hand healed up fine.”

Moorman acknowledged that treatment of that player’s hand “wouldn’t be conventional treatment by any standard.” But he said he understands the desire of players like him — and the Panthers’ Davis — to play through the pain.

“Who knows if he’s ever going to get the chance to play in another Super Bowl?” Moorman said.

“The idea is for the player to totally understand the risk and for the medical staff to do the best they can.”

Proving their toughness Examples abound on sports websites that hail athletes as “gutsy” if they play while injured. Here are a few: ■ In 1979, Los Angeles Rams defensive end Jack Youngblood broke the fibula in his left leg during a playoff game. He stayed in that game and played in all the remaining playoff games, including Super Bowl XIV. ■In 2014, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton missed only one game after fracturing two bones in his back when the truck he was driving flipped several times in an accident in Charlotte. He returned to the lineup less than two weeks after his accident.

■ Just last year, after losing to the New England

Patriots in the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks revealed that safety Kam Chancellor had played the biggest game of the year with a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee.

In the online National Football Post, Dr. David Chao, a former team doctor with the San Diego Chargers, wrote recently that when NFL players get to the Super Bowl, they have already proven their toughness. “Players and medical staffs pull out every trick in the bag, accept some reasonable medical risk, and do what they need to play.”

After viewing a video of Davis at Sunday’s game, Chao speculated that the injury was a fractured ulna, commonly referred to as a “nightstick fracture,” and that it looked like a “relatively stable isolated break.”

Chao said he operated on two NFL players with similar fractures who returned to play two weeks after surgery in short casts. That wouldn’t be common for most patients but “it is the standard of care in the NFL community.”

Davis told reporters last week that, during surgery, Dr. Patrick Connor, the team doctor, inserted a plate and about 12 screws into his right forearm to provide stability. Davis said he’ll wear a Kevlar cast that is not bulky and will allow him to have full range of motion with his hand. The cast is like one worn by former Panthers receiver Steve Smith, who had a similar injury after breaking his forearm playing flag football in 2010.

“Really the biggest thing I’ve been dealing with so far is just getting the swelling out of there,” Davis said. “... That’s something that you have to deal with when you’re coming back from surgery, but it’s leaving. ... (I’m) feeling good. I’m excited about where I am right now.”

Davis attended practice last week, but only participated in stretching, conditioning and meetings to talk about the game plan. Panthers coach Ron Rivera has deferred to team doctors when asked about the chance of re-injury to Davis’ arm. But the coach added that defensive players use their hands more than their forearms.

“If I had concerns about hitting somebody or getting hit, I wouldn’t even take the field,” Davis told reporters last week. “It’s not even going to be something I think about one bit. I’m going to go out there and play the game like I’ve always played it: fast, hard and aggressive.”

Different treatments Dr. Glenn Gaston, a hand and upper extremity specialist at OrthoCarolina, said broken bones are often treated differently depending on the injured person’s occupation and preference.

Many people might choose to wear a cast for two months to allow the break to heal. But professional athletes — and surgeons — might opt to have the bone “fixed” surgically, by inserting a plate and screws.

“If we fix a broken bone, then we can get out of a cast sooner,” said Gaston, who has not been involved in Davis’ care, but has worked as a consultant with the Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets. “I might choose to have mine surgically fixed if it meant I could get out of a cast in a week and a half.

“If you look back at the history of the NFL, there are a lot of players that played with bones that were broken,” Gaston said.

“It’s really a decision between the doctor and the patient based on what they feel is best for them. ... The majority of (NFL) players would like to be able to play, the sooner, the better.”

Snedeker wins Farmers Insurance Open Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Brandt Snedeker won the praise of his peers for a closing round at Torrey Pines that left them in awe.

Now he has a trophy to show for it.

Snedeker wound up winning the Farmers Insurance Open on Monday when the conditions turned out to be just as tough as when he shot his 69 on Sunday, a score that was roughly nine shots better than

the field average.

Jimmy Walker had a oneshot lead over Snedeker and K.J. Choi when the final round resumed among a dozen toppled trees on the South Course.

With a strong wind from the opposite direction, Walker and Choi tried to hang on with pars and simply couldn’t.

“The way the wind blew and made those last five holes play so tough on those guys, I feel bad for them,” Snedeker said.

“They got the raw end of the

stick this morning. But that’s just the way golf goes, and luckily enough, I played good enough yesterday to get the job done. So it’s a special feeling to say the least.”

Snedeker won at 6-under 282, the highest winning score at Torrey Pines since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

The average score was 77.9, the highest fourth-round average at a regular PGA Tour event since the tour began keeping such statistics in 1983.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — John Elway realizes as well as anyone just how difficult a decision it is for an elite quarterback to retire, and he has no plans of putting pressure on Peyton Manning to make up his mind right away.

Still, the Denver Broncos are going to do whatever they can to keep backup Brock Osweiler around, too, and not lose him in free agency.

“It’s one that is going to change his life, whether it be this year, next year or the year after.” Elway, the franchise’s general manager and vice president said from his seat in the stands at Monday’s Super Bowl media night. “It’s always a hard decision. We’ll give him plenty of time. ... Bottom line is Peyton’s going to make the best decision for him.”

Elway said that no matter what Manning decides, Osweiler is in the plans going forward. He started seven games this season for the AFC champions as Manning struggled while dealing with a foot injury, passing for 1,967 yards and 10 touchdowns with an 86.4 quarterback rating.

“We’re hoping to get something done with Brock this offseason,” Elway said. “Obviously Brock is a guy that came in and played very well for us this year. We wouldn’t be here without him. We needed both quarterbacks. We wouldn’t be here without both of them.”

Deciding between two talented quarterbacks is a great problem to have.

Manning didn’t offer any hints Monday night.

“I haven’t made my mind up and I don’t see myself knowing that until after the season’s over,” the five-time MVP said.

Even Elway struggled to make the final call to walk away for good — yet he won’t begin to compare the circumstances of his own farewell to Manning’s situation at this stage.

Elway went out a Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP after the 1998 season with a win against Atlanta, but still ran his retirement thoughts by his father as a sounding board. Elway said “it was very nice to have” the positive memories of going out on top.

“I was 95 percent there, but then it still took me a long time to get that last 5 percent, because it’s a big decision and something that you’ve done your whole life and now you’re not going to be able to do it anymore,” Elway said. “Whether it’s 80 percent of 95 percent, whatever that last step is — however big it is — is always really hard.”

NFL | Notebook

‘Thursday Night Football’ to air on CBS, NBC Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — “Thursday Night Football” will air on both CBS and NBC next season.

The NFL announced Monday that it had agreed to a two-year deal with the networks. CBS had broadcast games in partnership with NFL Network the past two seasons.

CBS and NBC will each air five Thursday matchups in 2016 and 2017, increasing the number of games on traditional broadcast TV from eight to 10 per season.

Those will again be simulcast on NFL Network.

NFL Network will still televise eight games exclusively, which will include late-season Saturday matchups and other to-be-determined games.

Raiders’ Tuck retires OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck is retiring after 11 seasons in the NFL. Tuck played his first nine seasons with the New York Giants, helping them win two Super Bowl titles. He spent the past two years in Oakland.

Browns fans boycott Manziel CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel’s hijinks have driven some Browns fans to the edge so they’re sacking the headline-grabbing quarterback for a month — or maybe longer. Tired of Manziel’s off-field transgressions, the latest being a possible assault of his ex-girlfriend over the weekend in Texas, fans have started a “Johnny Free February” movement on Twitter.
