OLYMPIA — Drivers will be able to use the I-405 express toll lanes for free on nights, weekends and holidays, the state Department of Transportation confirmed Wednesday.

Exactly when isn’t settled as agency leaders must consult with federal authorities and the state Transportation Commission before making any changes, a WSDOT spokeswoman said Wednesday.

“We do not yet know what the parameters will be for the hours of operation for express toll lanes,” spokeswoman Emily Pace said. “We will need to review data to help inform these parameters and work with the commission.”

The decision comes amid pressure from lawmakers and commuters frustrated by operational wrinkles and newly created bottlenecks encountered since the lanes opened on a 17-mile stretch between Lynnwood and Bellevue in late September.

On Tuesday, 11 Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate sent a letter to Secretary

Deputy Keith Poteet knew what to do to bring a baby into the world

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Peter and Kyla Bartelheimer wanted some element of surprise when it came to the birth of their third child.

They didn’t let doctors reveal

its gender beforehand.

As it turned out, their baby had a surprise of its own.

So it was, at 11:06 p.m. Tuesday, Case Daniel Bartelheimer entered the world from the front passenger seat of his parents’ Dodge Durango.

There to receive all 9 pounds

and 2 ounces of him was Snohomish County Deputy Sheriff Keith Poteet, who works as a Snohomish police officer under a contract with the county.

Poteet had happened by the SUV with its dome light on.

Defendant pleads guilty to first-degree murder EVERETT — The manager at an Everett halfway house admitted Wednesday that he killed a boarder two months ago because he wanted to sexually assault the man.

Kenny Jermain Tate faces more than 30 years in prison when he’s sentenced next month.

Tate, 40, pleaded guilty to firstdegree murder with a deadly weapon. He also admitted that he was motivated to kill Daniel Dubeau, 30, out of a desire to rape the younger man.

Dubeau had refused Tate’s sexual advances, court papers said.

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wynne carefully questioned Tate during Wednesday’s hearing. It’s

Ancient Rome pyramid getting spotlighted Associated Press ROME — Rome’s only surviving pyramid from ancient times is being put in the spotlight.

After a Japanese clothing magnate helped pay for an ambitious cleanup, archaeologists are eager to show off the monument, constructed around 2,000 years ago as the burial tomb for a Roman praetor, or magistrate, named Caius Cestius.

Although soaring 119 feet, the pyramid draws few tourists. Decades of grime blackened the creamy white Carrara marble exterior of the monument near a traffic-clogged intersection and a subway station. The pyramid’s base is below street level since the metropolis has been built up over the centuries, so many hurry by without realizing the monument’s height.

Archaeologist Leonardo Guarnieri told reporters

Associated Press PORTLAND, Maine — Bob Elliott, half of the enduring television and radio comedy team Bob and Ray, has died, He was 92.

Elliott, father of actorcomedian Chris Elliott, died Tuesday at his home in Cundy’s Harbor, Maine, part of the town of Harpswell, Rick Gagne, director of the Brackett Funeral Home, said Wednesday.

The cause of death wasn’t made public.

For nearly 45 years, until the death of Elliott’s comedy partner Ray Goulding, Bob and Ray entertained millions of radio listeners and television viewers.

“He was the kindest, most gentle man I knew, and obviously the funniest.

He was a true renaissance man,” Chris Elliott (“Groundhog Day,” David Letterman’s “Late Show” and “Late Night”) said in a statement on behalf of the family.

“I would be happy if I could be just half the man he was,” he said. “And

near modern-day Naples.

With Rome’s heavy pollution blackening and corroding monuments almost as soon as they are restored, the pyramid is being cleaned every few months by a team of freeclimbers, to eliminate the

need for unsightly and costly scaffolding.

Italy’s culture ministry, chronically short of funds to clean, preserve and protect its immense wealth of artworks, architectural gems and ancient monuments, is holding out the

pyramid’s Japanese patron as a model of cooperation between private and public sectors.

Yuzo Yagi, who heads a clothing and textile company, provided 2 million euros toward the restoration.

since I’m speaking for my siblings, I know my brother — and all my sisters for that matter — would be happy if they could be half the man he was too.”

Chris Elliott’s daughters are Abby Elliott, who was a “Saturday Night Live” cast member for four seasons, and actress Bridey Elliott.

“RIP Bob Elliott, the great&funny man who begat Chris Elliott, who begat (at)elliottdotabby & (at)brideylee,” Jimmy Kimmel posted on his Twitter account.

Judd Apatow tweeted, “Go listen to Bob and Ray! They are the funniest.

Timeless, brilliant comedy.”

Bob and Ray practiced a gentle, quirky brand of comedy that relied not on one-liners or boffo jokes but rather a deadpan delivery that relentlessly skewered pomposity and seriousness.

“I guess it’s the hilarity of pomposity; that hasn’t gone out of fashion,” Elliott said when asked to explain the enduring nature of their humor. Goulding added: “We magnify the

insignificant. You know, flourishes and bands accompanying the opening of a sandwich.”

The team won a prestigious Peabody Award in 1956. “They deal primarily in satire, that rare and precious commodity,” the judges wrote. “Their aim is deadly, their level is high, and their material is fresh, original, imaginative, and terribly funny.”

Following Goulding’s death in 1990, Elliott remained active as a solo performer, appearing regularly throughout the ‘90s on television and occasionally in films. He played Bob Newhart’s father on the series “Newhart” and his own son Chris’ father on “Get a Life.”

He also appeared in the films “Quick Change” and “Cabin Boy.” He had also worked solo occasionally during the team’s long run, appearing in the film “Author Author” and in a handful of TV movies.

He and his late partner were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.

Bob and Ray’s long partnership began at Boston radio station WHDH in 1946 when Goulding, after delivering the news on Elliott’s music program, began to stick around and swap anecdotes with the host.

“When we first began, it was 90 percent ad lib,” Elliott recalled in 1992. “A good part of what we did involved two or three hours of playing records, and the records gave you time to think of what to do next.”

Listeners demanded more, however, and the station soon scheduled “Matinee with Bob and Ray.” It offered offbeat comments on the day’s news, fables about fictitious characters and bogus contest offers.

In a biography of Bob and Ray admirer Woody Allen, Eric Lax wrote that Elliott and Goulding “created thousands of perfectly oddball characters. ... They manipulated language the way Satchel Paige manipulated baseballs.”

One elaborate joke, put on during the early days

of TV, pretended to offer phony television antennas for sale to radio listeners who wanted to impress their neighbors.

“Try to be a phony in your neighborhood,” the ads proclaimed. “If you’re going to be a phony, be a good one.”

The pair made their own move to television in 1951 with the “Bob and Ray” show. Unlike Sid Caesar, Milton Berle and other early TV comedians, they did not attract a mass audience. But their low-key humor, once described

by The New York Times as “outrageously innocuous,” was cherished by a devoted following.

Their show rarely dealt with topical matters, an exception coming during the Red-hunting days of Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Then, during a soap opera parody that took place in the small town of “Skunk Hollow,” they introduced a blustering Commissioner Carstairs, who waved a list of names of supposed miscreants he threatened to expose.

the right time,” Kyla told the officer.

“Really, thank you,” Poteet replied. “This was epic.”

“You were very calm,” she said.

“You did all the work,” he said.

Back and forth, gratitude flowed and vignettes were told.

The Bartelheimers had visited the hospital earlier Tuesday, but it simply wasn’t time.

They drove home and waited.

That evening, the contractions started up, but they were inconsistent.

As they prepared to head back to the hospital, Peter brewed some coffee and made a ham-and-egg sandwich.

Kyla began to feel intense pressure.

Less than two miles from their home, Kyla told Peter to pull over.

She knew she wasn’t going to make it to the delivery room.

Peter, a fourth-generation Snohomish farmer, parked on the side of the road, not far from the Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital.

Poteet had been checking nearby ballfields where there had been some recent thefts.

He saw the dome light of the SUV and could hear a persistent honking. The sound was not a gentle beep. It was insistent and blaring, like SOS in Morse code. Between frequent

and painful contractions, Kyla had leaned over to the steering wheel and let the horn convey her urgent call for help.

“My wife is in labor and she is wanting to push,” Peter told the officer when he rolled up on the scene.

Poteet called dispatch for medical help and gloved up.

He reclined the passenger seat, put down a towel and tried to get Kyla as comfortable as possible.

Peter, who had been mentally preparing himself to deliver his child, held his wife’s hand and offered encouragement.

Poteet gave instructions, when to push and to breathe. All the while, he wondered to himself when the medics would arrive.

“Oh boy, here we go,” Poteet thought to himself when the baby’s head appeared.

When the shoulders

emerged, he felt some level of relief.

Much more so when the baby had been delivered.

There was one more hurdle.

At first, Case made no sound. He was blue.

Then came a whimper, a breath and a cry.

Case was born less than an hour before Poteet’s own birthday. It was, the officer said, the greatest gift he can ever imagine receiving.

“It meant so much to be able to hand a baby to its mother,” he said.

At the hospital, Poteet looked down at the swaddled sleeping babe.

“Would you like to hold him?” Kyla asked.

“Absolutely,” the officer said.

He held him for a long time.

“He is precious,” he said.

Wednesday that tours, including of the frescoed burial chamber, are being given twice a month by reservation.

Visitors must crouch as they make their way through a narrow corridor leading to the burial chamber. What happened to Caius Cestius’ remains is unknown, Guarnieri said.

Inside the chamber, visitors can see an upward-sloping tunnel. He said the restoration has bolstered theories the tunnel was dug out in medieval times, possibly by grave-robbers.

The pyramid is one of four known to have been built in ancient Roman days, but the only one to survive until today.

Their construction reflected a fashion for Egyptian style in Rome after the conquest of Egypt, but the simple, frescoed figures on the chamber’s walls were done in the style of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city

Tax breaks cloud talk on aerospace industry

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday trumpeted the accomplishments of Washington’s aerospace industry the past century and declared “the sky’s the limit” in the years ahead.

“We’re growing everywhere we want to grow. We look forward to another 100 years, at least,” he told a room full of executives of

aerospace firms, including the Boeing Co. which is the state’s largest private sector employer.

But Inslee, without mentioning Boeing by name, cautioned that a recent decline in jobs may compel the state to look to link industry-wide tax breaks with levels of employment.

“It is a frustration that Washington machinists and engineers have lost jobs after the aerospace incentive package was enacted

awhile back,” he said at the event hosted by the Aerospace Futures Alliance.

“I don’t know that anyone has figured out the perfect answer to this problem,” he continued. “But I do believe that some measure of future job accountability is worth considering as maintaining and growing our aerospace industry is a priority that I know we all share.”

Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett,

has introduced a bill this year to require the company to maintain certain job levels in order to reap the full benefits of tax incentives extended to the industry in 2013.

That deal, which helped secure manufacturing of Boeing’s 777X jetliner in Everett, will save the aerospace industry an estimated $8.7 billion in tax payments through 2040, with the bulk of it accruing to Boeing.

As written, her House Bill 2638

would result in the aerospace icon losing half its tax breaks because it’s trimmed 4,000 jobs in Washington in the past two years.

She tried something similar in 2015 without success. This year, two Republican lawmakers signed on as co-sponsors which helped it receive a hearing in the House Finance Committee on Jan. 19.

17-year sentence likely for assault

Virginia Clark and Bill Blake, the city’s natural resources manager, plan to lead an hour-long tour through Country Charm Park, 604 E. Gilman. On the walk, they will explain about bird habitats along the Stillaguamish River and how to recognize different song birds. Participants should meet at 9 a.m. Saturday at the park.

EVERETT — Snohomish County prosecutors will recommend that a 17-year-old boy be sentenced to 17 1⁄2 years in prison for shooting a brother and sister in south Everett.

Sylius St. Amie admitted that he shot the other boy, 17, three times because of the color of the boy’s shorts. The victim was wearing blue, a color associated St. Amie’s rival gang. The victim isn’t a gang member.

St. Amie also shot the boy’s sister, 14, when she rushed to help her brother.

The defendant pleaded guilty Wednesday to first-degree assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the Sept. 3 double shooting. He also pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and second-degree assault for armed encounters in July and August.

St. Amie was charged as an adult because of the serious nature of the crimes. He is expected to spend the first years of his sentence in a state juvenile lockup.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson alleged that the south Everett shooting was unprovoked.

The brother and sister were walking with a friend to Discovery Elementary School, where they planned to practice dance steps for an upcoming quinceanera, a traditional celebration to mark a girl’s 15th birthday. They were on a path between the elementary

A bald eagle looks over the Stillaguamish River as it searches for a fish Tuesday near Arlington. The Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival happens Friday and Saturday, and includes paddling raft trips to view the eagles, live entertainment and more.

Eagle Festival time in Arlington

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The ninth annual Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival lands in town this Friday and Saturday, with animal talks, bird walks and river rafting.

Organizers have added some new things this year, including fair-style food vendors on Olympic Avenue and a presentation about the local implications of a changing climate.

Fan favorites are returning.

The Country Carvers chainsaw

carving show is on the schedule, as are bird watching trips by land and by water.

“It’s all happening, rain or shine,” said Sarah Lopez, Arlington’s recreation manager.

“A lot of stuff is inside and the die-hards can do the outdoor activities.”

Last year, Darrington and Arlington put on a joint Stillaguamish Eagle Festival, with activities in both towns. Darrington isn’t hosting events this year, Lopez said. However, some Darrington adventure experts are coming to Arlington.

Adventure Cascades plans to lead two rafting trips Saturday along the Stillaguamish River where it flows through Arlington. They charge $30 per person.

Longer rafting trips are planned Friday with Arlington’s North Cascades River Expeditions, and those cost $60. The trips take advantage of a new boat ramp installed at Haller Park a few months ago.

For those who prefer pacing over paddling, two bird-watching walks are planned during the Eagle Festival.

It’s been tough enough for Sound Transit board members to cobble together ST3, a ballot measure seeking $15 billion for the next phase of expansion.

Now a few of their longstanding critics want state lawmakers to replace them next year by changing how their seats are filled.

Sen. Steve O’Ban, R-University Place, and Rep. Mark Harmsworth, R-Mill Creek, authored the legislation.

At a hearing Tuesday, supporters told the Senate Transportation Committee that directly electing board members would give voice to a greater number of Sound Transit taxpayers and increase accountability of the agency’s day-to-day operations.

Opponents countered that board members are elected and thus already accountable to voters. And, they said, the current approach forces the region’s cities, counties and transit agencies to work together on expansion — even more than would occur with the proposed change.

“Balkanizing the system is not an answer to building a regional system,” said Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts, who is the

Money for the $1.9 million purchase came from the Snohomish County Conservation Futures program, a grant from the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office and park mitigation fees.

On Monday, the Snohomish County Council voted to oppose the bill though some want to revisit the idea after the vote on the ST3 ballot measure.

“Snohomish County and Pierce County are at a disadvantage on this board with King County holding the majority of the seats,” he said. “I think that is actually going to be hurtful to our position with the ballot measure.”

Cuts spark baby boom Researchers calculated that the relative increase in births was 27% for Texas women who lost access to Planned Parenthood.

Los Angeles Times The state of Texas’ sustained campaign against Planned Parenthood and other family planning clinics affiliated with abortion providers appears to have led to an increase in births among low-income women who lost access to affordable and effective birth control, a new study says.

The analysis, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, documents a significant increase in births among women who had previously received birth control at clinics that no longer get funding.

The researchers, from the

Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, said their findings offer a sneak peak of what may happen in other states that have cut funding to Planned Parenthood. Lawmakers in Arkansas, Alabama, New Hampshire, Louisiana, North Carolina and Utah have enacted policies to keep public funds out of Planned Parenthood clinics.

Ohio is expected to be the next state to follow suit.

These laws “definitely” had a real impact on women, said study leader Joseph Potter, a sociologist at the university.

“It’s not like there is a large, over-capacity of highly qualified providers of effective contraception out there just waiting for people to show up,” he said.

The first blow to Planned Parenthood and other family planning clinics in Texas came in 2011, when lawmakers cut family-planning grants

by 66 percent across the state.

The money that remained was directed toward community health centers and county health departments that provide more comprehensive care.

This dramatic cut in funding was responsible for the closure of 82 family-planning clinics in the state, researchers said. About one-third of them were affiliated with Planned Parenthood.

The state’s federally funded Medicaid program was not allowed to steer funds away from Planned Parenthood. So in 2013, the state ditched it and set up the state-funded Texas Women’s Health Program, which could legally withhold funds from any clinic affiliated with an abortion provider.

“It was exclusively Planned Parenthood that was hit by that,” Potter said.

The researchers calculated that the relative increase in births was 27 percent for

women who lost access to Planned Parenthood. Many of these births were probably unplanned, since the increase was only seen in counties where women faced new hurdles in access to contraception, the study authors wrote.

“To see such a large increase in such a short time was surprising,” said graduate student Amanda Stevenson, first author on the paper. “It takes a while for (a birth control) shot to wear off, and then waiting time to get pregnant, and the pregnancy itself.”

Dr. Hal Lawrence, executive vice president of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said he’s not surprised that reduced access to long-acting reversible contraceptives would result in an increase in childbirth. “These birth control methods are among the most effective ways of preventing unplanned pregnancy,” he said.

Obama visits 1st U.S. mosque

By Christi Parsons

FRESNO, Calif. — In the strongest indication yet that the California drought could be easing, officials said strict water conservation orders could be dramatically scaled back or even ended if El Nino storms keep pummeling the state into the spring.

The assessment came amid encouraging results from Tuesday’s measurement of the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides a third of the state’s water during the spring runoff when it feeds rivers and replenishes depleted

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania both suspended their 2016 presidential bids Wednesday, victims of a raucous and volatile Republican race in which both struggled to gain traction. The two joined former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in deciding to quit the GOP race this week after disappointing finishes in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, which were won by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Santorum endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as his preferred Republican nominee, calling Rubio a “tremendously gifted young man.”

1.6% raise for U.S. workers President Obama will include an average 1.6 percent pay raise for federal employees in his fiscal 2017 budget proposal. This year, the average raise is 1.3 percent, not including locality pay.

The 2017 pay increase was announced in a conference call with administration and union officials. The complete budget will be announced next week.

Two people on the call also said that the president will propose six weeks of paid parental leave for federal employees, as he has previously. Currently, they may take 12 weeks of unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, like workers of many companies.

President Barack Obama greets children and other guests during his visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday in Maryland.

us safe” as police, firefighters, intelligence officers and members of the military who “fight and bleed and die for our freedom,” Obama said.

“So the first thing I want to say is two words that Muslim Americans don’t hear often enough — and that is, thank you,” he said.

The 45-minute address mirrored Obama’s outreach to the Islamic world in 2009, when he stood at a pulpit in Cairo and sought to explain America to Muslims skeptical of Western values. His goal then was to rally Islamic allies to help stabilize the Middle East and fight terrorism.

On Wednesday, Obama tried to explain Islam to Americans, quoting Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and other Founding Fathers who welcomed the ancient religion to the new nation. The first U.S. mosque was in North Dakota,

he noted. The oldest surviving mosque is in Iowa.

“Islam has always been part of America,” he said.

Two Muslim members of Congress joined him at the mosque, which serves about 3,000 Muslims in Baltimore’s western suburbs and is one of the largest in the mid-Atlantic region. He paid tribute to its school, baseball and football teams, Girl and Boy Scout troops, and its health clinic for low-income patients of all backgrounds.

The event was a personal milestone for the president with the Islamic name, who was elected only after convincing Americans that he was a Christian and not an adherent to the religion of his Kenyan grandfather. Polls show millions of Americans still believe, inaccurately, that he is a Muslim.

In the kind of joke he never

told in his early presidency, Obama noted that Jefferson’s opponents “tried to stir things by suggesting he was a Muslim — so I was not the first ... I’m in good company.”

But he also batted back charges from GOP candidates that he is deliberately downplaying the threat of terrorism by refusing to refer to Islamic State as “Islamic radical extremism.”

“The suggestion is somehow that if I would simply say, ‘These are all Islamic terrorists,’ then we would actually have solved the problem by now, apparently,” he said, to laughter.

“We must never give (terrorists) that legitimacy,” he said. “They’re not defending Islam. They’re not defending Muslims. The vast majority of the people they kill are innocent Muslim men, women and children.”

As the Pentagon grapples with how to integrate women into all jobs in combat, the Marine Corps is considering something new: Boosting how heavy it allows women to be so that they are able to bulk up in the gym to carry heavy loads more easily. The service’s top officer told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that female Marines have told him recently that they are lifting weights to boost their strength. Doing so, however, has pushed some of them outside the service’s limits for how much they are allowed to weigh, he said.

WASHINGTON — First came an honor guard of Muslim Boy Scouts proudly carrying a U.S. flag. Then a rousing pledge of allegiance from hundreds of Muslim Americans. Then an introduction from a Muslim college student, wearing a hijab over her head, who wants to be a doctor.

The symbolism was unmistakable Wednesday when President Barack Obama visited the first American mosque of his tenure, a politically fraught trip to the sprawling Islamic Society of Baltimore, where he condemned Islamaphobia on the campaign trail and tried to reassure Muslim Americans not to become isolated in their own country.

Although he never mentioned Donald Trump or other Republican presidential candidates, Obama called for an end to invective that confuses millions of patriotic Americans with a “radical, tiny minority” who engage in violence.

“Since 9/11 and more recently, since the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, you’ve seen too often people conflating the horrific acts of terrorism with the beliefs of an entire faith,” he said. “And of course, recently, we’ve heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim Americans that has no place in our country.

“We have to reject a politics that seeks to manipulate prejudice or bias, and targets people because of religion,” he said. “We can’t be bystanders to bigotry.”

Threats and harassment of Muslim Americans “have surged,” Obama said. “Here at this mosque, twice last year, threats were made against your children ... We’ve seen children bullied. We’ve seen mosques vandalized.”

reservoirs.

The water content of the snowpack now stands at 130 percent of normal for this time of year.

“We are hopeful that we are turning the corner on this drought,” said State Water Resources Control Board chair Felicia Marcus. “The truth is that it’s just too soon to tell.”

The board exercised caution Tuesday when it extended an emergency conservation order by Gov. Jerry Brown that requires communities to cut water use by 25 percent in response to the

four-year drought.

Come April, when the snowpack is typically at its highest level, officials intend to revisit the conservation plan. By then, they should know the full impact of the heralded El Nino system — a warming of the Pacific Ocean that alters weather worldwide and is associated with stormy California winters.

Brown ordered the cutbacks last year, saying mandatory conservation was imperative because the drought could drag past this year.

The effort slipped in December when residents and

businesses used 18 percent less water compared to the same period of 2013. It was the worst showing since Brown set the goal in June.

However, the state is still on track to beat Brown’s goal, officials said.

In extending the conservation order, the water board gave a slight break to cities that are particularly hot and dry or quickly growing.

Places that have implemented desalination or developed efficient ways to recycle water also received consideration on their conservation mandate.

An elite panel of scientists and bioethicists offered guarded approval Wednesday of a novel form of genetic engineering that could prevent congenital diseases but would result in babies with genetic material from three parents. The committee, which was convened last year at the request of the Food and Drug Administration, concluded that it is ethically permissible to “go forward, but with caution” with mitochondrial replacement techniques, said chairman Jeffrey Kahn, a bioethicist at Johns Hopkins University.

Wisconsin: Muslim prayer A civil liberties group said Wednesday that it plans to file federal discrimination and harassment complaints after a manufacturer in Brillion fired seven Muslim employees for violating a company break policy that doesn’t provide extra time for prayer. Ariens Co. terminated the workers in a dispute that began last month when it moved to enforce an existing rule of two 10-minute breaks per work shift and dozens of Muslim staffers of Somali descent walked off the job in protest.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: Jerusalem firefight A deadly firefight broke out in the heart of Jerusalem on Wednesday between Israeli police officers and three Palestinians assailants armed with rifles, knives and bombs, police said. It was the first time a group of Palestinians appeared to have coordinated an attack against Israeli security forces. Police said it marked a serious escalation in the daily violence that has plagued Israel and the occupied West Bank for more than four months.

Germany: Nuclear fusion Scientists flipped the switch Wednesday on an experiment they hope will advance the quest for nuclear fusion, considered a clean and safe form of nuclear power. After nine years of construction and testing, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald injected a tiny amount of hydrogen into a doughnut-shaped device — then zapped it with the equivalent of 6,000 microwave ovens.

The resulting super-hot gas, known as plasma, lasted just a fraction of a second before cooling down again, long enough for scientists to confidently declare the start of their experiment a success.

Home Depot to hire more than 80,000

By Anne D’Innocenzio Associated Press

NEW YORK — Home Depot is on a hiring spree.

The nation’s largest home improvement chain, based in Atlanta, said Wednesday it is hiring more than 80,000 workers nationwide for its busy spring season, the same level as in

recent years. The retailer estimates that more than half of the temporary workers stay on for permanent employment.

The part-time and full-time jobs include sales, operations and cashier positions across all departments in stores as well as jobs at its distribution centers.

The hiring comes as Home Depot has been benefiting from

shoppers’ increasing shift to renovate their homes in a housing market that has been solid Home Depot said in December that it expects its annual revenue to surpass $100 billion in 2018 and backed its earnings and revenue outlook for the latest fiscal year that ended last month. It also said that sales at stores opened at least a year,

a key measure of a retailer’s financial health, would rise 4.9 percent for the fiscal year that just ended.

Home Depot Inc. is expected to report its fiscal fourth-quarter and annual results Feb. 23.

Its shares fell $1.48 to $123.79 on Wednesday but are up more than 16 percent over the past 12 months.

Keurig craze begins to fade The company announced that it sold 7 percent fewer machines during the holidays than it had the year before.

By Roberto Ferdman The Washington Post

Several years ago, coffee pods seemed invincible. Sales of the single-serve cups were skyrocketing, more than tripling in the United States between 2011 and 2013 alone. Sales of coffee pod machines, meanwhile, were soaring, too, growing from 1.8 million units to 11.6 million between 2008 and 2013, according to data from market research firm Euromonitor.

Today, however, things aren’t looking quite so rosy for coffee in its most convenient form.

On Monday, Keurig, which dominates the U.S. market for both coffee pods and coffee pod machines, announced that it sold 7 percent fewer machines during the holidays than it had the year before, the sixth straight quarter in which unit sales fell. The news was particularly disappointing given how crucial the holiday season is for the company.

Machines weren’t the only thing hurting Keurig’s bottom line, though: its K-cup coffee pods aren’t selling like they used to either. The company said unit sales of its pods fell for a second straight quarter, an ominous sign considering the little guys are responsible for roughly 80 percent of Keurig’s sales.

The decline is partly a problem of Keurig’s making. The company, concerned that copycats — which emerged after a slew of patents expired in recent years — were

Keurig has seeen a more than 40 percent drop in stock price since its peak in late 2014.

eating into its business, launched the Keurig 2.0 in late 2014, a pricey new machine that only works with company-approved pods. The bet was that by controlling the market, it could better defend its territory. But the move backfired, leading to a 22 percent drop in machine sales in the first three months of 2015. Customers weren’t thrilled, which they have communicated, sometimes angrily, in reviews on Amazon.

But Keurig’s problems are likely also emblematic of a bigger trend.

Coffee pod sales grew quickly during the recession, as Americans shifted to single-serve as a cheaper alternative to buying coffee out at restaurants and other food service establishments. It

also didn’t hurt that coffee pods are efficient (they are associated with less coffee waste) and convenient (press a button, and voila!).

But the circumstances that allowed for such impressive growth are changing.

“With the improved economy we are experiencing today we believe the window of opportunity for pods is closing and the growth will stall in the next five years,” Eric Penicka, an industry analyst with Euromonitor, told Food Navigator USA last year.

It’s also possible people haven’t taken kindly to the realization that Keurig’s coffee pods aren’t quite as environmentally friendly as one would hope.

Only 5 percent of the pods

made by Green Mountain, which purchased Keurig in 2006, were recyclable as of 2014. The company promised to fix this by 2020, but in the meantime that means unseemly amounts of pods are adding to the already heaping piles of landfill in the country.

Murray Carpenter, whose 2014 book “Caffeinated” chronicles our collective addiction to caffeine, did a good job of putting coffee pod waste into alarming perspective. There were enough K-cups thrown out in 2011, according to Carpenter, to encircle the globe more than six times. Today, K-cup trash could wrap around the earth more than 10 times.

Coffee pods aren’t dead just yet — they still make up about a third of all coffee sold in the United States. Nor are the machines that use them-an estimated 25 percent of American households owns a pod machine. But their future isn’t looking quite as bright as pod makers might hope.

Thus far, that has led to a more than 40 percent drop in Keurig’s stock price since its peak in late 2014. But going forward, it could actually prove a blessing for the coffee industry. The rise of coffee pods has caused a financial headache for coffee bean roasters and growers, who help supply the largest market in the world with its fix.

That’s because Americans have traditionally brewed their coffee using drip machines, which are profitable for roasters but terribly inefficient (waste was such a well known contributor to coffee sales that industry folk used to joke that “the sink was the world’s largest coffee consumer”).

Coffee pods, which are incredibly efficient by comparison, have pushed people to make only what they plan to drink.

Take the initiative to stand out at work

By Joyce Russell Special to The Washington Post

biz bits

Ask any boss which employee in their firm really stands out as a star, and they will most certainly bring up the person who shows initiative. Everyone wants a hardworking employee who does a good job, but the person who goes beyond that and shows initiative is rare indeed (and seems to be harder and harder to find, as I often hear from leaders).

Initiative is the power, ability or instinct to take action (to begin a task and follow through on it) without waiting for someone to tell you what to do. It means going beyond simply the “9 to 5” aspect of your job. It means taking the “next step” before being asked to take it. Getting in early, staying late, or looking for things to do when your own work is slow.

Whether you are a new employee at the firm or starting a new job in another part of your company, initiative is key.

Most firms are explicitly looking

for go-getters who can independently take action to get things done. And yet, few applicants talk about their strengths in this domain or realize how important it is in the workplace. Employers, on the other hand, are eager to hire individuals who want to keep learning and growing in their knowledge or skills. Think about the employee who takes additional courses or workshops in order to learn how to do their job better. This makes a positive impression on employers. Or those who volunteer to give back to the community. Those who do these things really stand out.

Here’s some idea on how to enhance your skills in showing initiative: ■■First, make sure you are doing your best work in your current job responsibilities.

■■Challenge yourself to try new things each week.

■■Thoughtfully assess how you can take on additional activities (or come earlier, stay later, train others, attend key department

meetings, volunteer on committees, etc.).

■■Speak up in meetings.

■■Look for ways (and share ideas) on how to improve processes or ways of doing things.

■■Collaborate with colleagues to bring solutions to problems.

■■Volunteer for projects at work.

It is amazing how much you can do to assist your firm and also give you new knowledge or skills.

■■Observe others in your department to see what they do to show initiative. Do they volunteer?

Mentor others? Assist the boss when he/she needs extra help?

■■Don’t wait. If you see something at work that needs to be done that you can do, then do it.

■■Think ahead to be pre-emptive about important needs the company or your colleagues will have.

■■Understand the company’s top priorities. You want to focus your extra help on important jobs for the firm, not irrelevant ones.

■■Ask questions. Show curiosity about how things work at your firm.

■■If you are trying to get someone to do something, lead by example.

■■Find a project the company (or your boss) has really wanted to work on yet never had the time to, and see if you can do it. View the company as a team member or owner, not as “just an employee.”

■■Offer solutions. Don’t just bring up what the problems are.

Look for answers.

■■Ask for feedback from your boss and co-workers on your level of initiative. They might also have ideas for how you could show more initiative on your job (that would bring value to them).

If you want to stand out and be seen as exceptional you have to show initiative. Do something extra each and every day. Because, as Will Rogers said, “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”

Auction for Haggen stores is delayed The fate of grocery chain Haggen has been delayed for a few days, as the auction to sell its remaining 33 stores in Washington and Oregon has been pushed back to Feb. 11.

Court documents filed Tuesday show the auction has been moved from Feb. 5 to Feb. 11. The filing does not give a reason for the change.

The auction will be held in a law office in New York City as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed earlier this year after purchasing nearly 150 stores from Albertsons and Safeway.

Whether the name disappears will be up to buyers who could keep the brand, which is well-known in the Pacific Northwest.

Google said Wednesday its test drivers have been driving a single Lexus SUV in an area of Kirkland and making detailed maps of the streets. The company said when the selfdriving car begins operations there will be a test driver in the vehicle to take over if needed.

Google has a large campus in Kirkland.

“Iran is a large and growing economy and Tehran is a brilliant business city so we are incredibly excited to be adding another gateway to the Middle East,” BA’s network planning chief said. British Airways first offered scheduled flights to Tehran in 1946.

University of Vermont nutrition Professor Mingruo Guo said he’s not surprised Ben & Jerry’s came out with nondairy products because a growing number of people don’t want to eat dairy products or they are unable to do so.

Take 2: Lovick returns When voters ousted John Lovick as Snohomish County executive three months ago, it marked his first loss in 13 elections.

As much as it hurt, he said no one should write his political obituary quite yet.

That’s because he’s not done.

Lovick announced Monday he’s running for the state legislative seat occupied by his friend and fellow Democrat, Rep. Hans Dunshee of Snohomish. If successful, Lovick would return to Olympia where he served as a lawmaker from 1999-2007.

“I’m just really itching to get back in the game,” Lovick said Tuesday. “You lose elections. I lost the last one. That’s the way it is.”

But the seat’s not vacant, at least not yet.

Dunshee is pursuing an appointment to the Snohomish County Council and if appointed, is expected to give up his seat in the 44th Legislative District. Lovick expressed absolute confidence it will play out that way.

Meanwhile, Republican Party leaders say they can win the seat in 2016 and the odds improve if no incumbent is competing. There’s no GOP candidate yet.

Marysville City Councilman Rob Toyer, who lost narrowly to Dunshee in 2014, might try again.

Others considering a run are said to be waiting until it’s clearer who the Democratic candidate is going to be.

I-405: ‘It is a step in the right direction’ From Page A1

of Transportation Lynn Peterson requesting several actions be taken to improve traffic flow.

Their list included adjusting access points to the toll lanes, improving signs and providing shoulders that can be used as travel lanes in both directions of I-405 north of State Route 522 where congestion has worsened since tolling began.

And they asked her to make the toll lanes available to all drivers at no cost during evenings, weekends and holidays.

“We feel that, while such a change might not be to the benefit of all commuters, it would be a show of good faith for those drivers who have experienced adverse effects on their time and their wallets,” they wrote. “We believe that the current demand on the corridor during other times will result in sufficient revenue being generated to meet the costs of operation.”

school and Voyager Middle School when they encountered St. Amie, then 16, and three girls.

St. Amie was dressed in red and asked the other boy if he was “repping blue.”

In other words, St. Amie wanted to know if the victim was part of a rival gang.

Some witnesses said the boy didn’t answer and others remembered him saying, “no.”

St. Amie opened fire, striking the teen in arm, shoulder and chest. The injured boy’s sister ran to

D-Mercer Island, chairwoman of the House Transportation Committee, put together the letter. Sens. Marko Liias, of Lynnwood; Rosemary McAuliffe, of Bothell; and Steve Hobbs, of Lake Stevens, signed as did Bothell Reps. Derek Stanford and Luis Moscoso.

“This is in response to people who say they want this to work better,” Clibborn said Wednesday. “It is not a condemnation of the express toll lanes. It is just a matter of how to make it work better for all drivers.”

Since the express lanes went into operation, the state’s dealt with a few snafus in the collection of tolls.

They’ve also made several adjustments aimed at making it easier for cars and buses to get in and out of the lanes.

State transportation officials say drivers traveling the entire 17-mile stretch of toll lanes save an average of 14 minutes and bus rides in the morning southbound commute are five to seven minutes faster, on average, than they were a year ago.

Even those traveling in the southbound regular lanes in the morning commute are shaving time off their trips, according to Assistant Secretary of Transportation Patty Rubstello. But the stretch near Highway 522 in Bothell is seeing increased congestion and the department is pondering solution for that.

Opening up the toll lanes for free during certain hours is an idea Rep. Mark Harmsworth, R-Mill Creek, proposed in a bill introduced last month.

His bill also would to erase the double white lines and eliminate one toll lane in each direction between Bellevue and Bothell.

“It is part of the solution.

It is a step in the right direction,” he said of the WSDOT decision. “But we still have to deal with the new congestion points that were created and the slowness in the regular lanes during the rush hour.”

The department is responding to what they are hearing from lawmakers, Pace said.

“We appreciate their

constructive approach and support these improvements,” she said. “In response to customer comments and our own review of initial operation we have already begun work and are making good progress on some of the roadway improvements referenced in the letter.”

The state must consult the Federal Highway Administration to determine the process to change the hours of toll operations, she said. That’s because the state received federal funds to construct the carpool lanes on I-405 which have since been converted.

Transportation commissioners must be involved because they are responsible for setting toll rates and approving exemptions, she said.

Clibborn said she had not been given any time frame for getting that done. But once it is, she and the other lawmakers want the change to be permanent.

his side and was shot in the leg for her efforts.

St. Amie and his friends ran off, leaving the victims bleeding from their wounds.

They were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The pair has since returned to classes at Mariner High School.

Police tracked St. Amie down after his friends gave up his hiding spot in a house on 115th Street SW. A SWAT team tried to persuade the teen to surrender but he refused. Several hours later tear gas was fired into the house and deputies found the teen lying on a shelf in a closet.

They also found a

.22-caliber handgun in the house. The gun was reported stolen May 11.

St. Amie confessed to the shootings. He told police he was angry over a recent fight with his girlfriend.

St. Amie confronted a group of young people in July and asked if they were members of a Hispanic gang. They denied that they were in the rival gang.

He pulled a gun from his waistband and demanded a 12-year-old boy’s shoes.

He and his companion fled on bicycles.

A month later St. Amie asked a man seated in a car for a cigarette. St. Amie cursed the man out when he said he didn’t have a cigarette. The teen pulled

a handgun, pointed the weapon at the man and fired. The bullet missed the victim.

St. Amie is scheduled to be sentenced next week.

He faces up to 19 years in prison.

A juvenile detention official on Wednesday requested that St. Amie be moved to the county jail, where he would be held in isolation because of his age.

Superior Court Judge Linda Krese agreed to let St. Amie remain at Denney Juvenile Justice Center until his sentencing. She warned the boy that she would send him to the jail if he created any problems at Denney.

Freedom to learn free speech and other media, as outlined

by Vanderbilt University’s First Amendment Center.

The high court’s 1988 ruling, Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, said it was not deciding whether to apply the same standard to publications at public colleges and universities, and federal appeals courts generally did not hold college publications to the Hazelwood standard. That changed when the 7th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals found in 2005 in Hosty v.

Carter, that Hazelwood did apply to college publications, although most public colleges and universities in Washington state and elsewhere have policies that assure greater editorial freedom to student journalists.

Modeled on legislation in North Dakota, one of nine states with student freedomof-expression laws, Senate Bill 6233 would revise that standard at all education levels, making student editors responsible for determining the content of news, opinion, features and advertising,

just as they are at the professional level. The bill also shifts liability away from the school district and on to the students, those responsible for the speech. The legislation doesn’t authorize speech that is libelous or slanderous, constitutes an invasion of privacy or incites violence or other dangerous acts. The expectation is that an adviser will guide students as to their responsibilities to avoid publication of unprotected speech.

The same standards would apply to student publications at colleges and universities.

School officials may be nervous about placing trust in a journalism adviser and student journalists when issues or libel and privacy are involved, but the potential for harm exists elsewhere in a public school. High school football coaches are trusted to train their athletes in the proper methods of tackling that minimize the risks for injuries that can have lifelong impacts. Certainly, high school newspaper advisers

can be shown the same level of trust in coaching their students.

The practice of prior review, especially when it results in censored speech, does nothing to train responsible journalists for the professional world, allowing them to leave those considerations and decisions to someone else.

With administrators making the call, students can’t adequately learn the standards of journalism to check and double-check facts and know the boundaries of the First Amendment.

As smartphones and social networks have increased the ability for everyone to broadcast their thoughts, more and more of us are entering the realm of public opinion and journalism. Even those students who are not considering a career in journalism can benefit from some training and practice in their First Amendment rights and responsibilities.

Censorship and prior review in the classroom only limits what can be learned.

Technology levy is a revival of a levy that expired two years ago, and would only increase taxes on a $300,000 home by a mere $117. That is a small amount to pay to upkeep technological infrastructure and building maintenance projects, like roofs and HVAC systems.

In 2017, our community will have a brand-new beautiful high school, and it would be a shame to have a gorgeous building on the outside, but an outdated infrastructure on the inside.

Please join me and vote YES to both of these important ballot measures.

Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton didn’t seem to agree with Dr. Hall for the past seven years and no meaningful reductions were enacted by them during that time although some meaningless papers may have been signed by them for their own vainglorious personal legacy of nonsense.

President Clinton’s 1993 deal with North Korea to stop building nuclear weapons failed. North Korea now has weapons of mass destruction and routinely threatens America, Japan and South Korea with nuclear destruction. I would think it hilarious if, Dr. Hall would enter North Korea and propose this fantasy and result in his arrest and detention there for speaking out.

Here, Dr. Hall is allowed to denounce nuclear weapons because he is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Dr. Hall could go to other nuclear armed countries and protest probably resulting in him being deported as persona non grata. Dr. Hall is unable to see and intentionally blind to the connection between American civil liberties and a strong American military ready to resist any and all aggressors to keep and maintain his personal freedoms.

I suspect he chose to avoid military service believing that his views were superior to those that volunteered and sacrificed much for our country. What a shame, that members of the intelligentsia place themselves above all others and work to weaken our country, from within, while enjoying great personal success in an open society protected from hostile aggression by our nuclear umbrella.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■FOREST SERVICE

Let people use closed roads Regarding the article, “Plan narrows scope of U.S. Forest Service road maintenance”: The Forest Service has announced that it will be closing more Forest Service roads.

It appears that the Forest Service is going ahead with their predetermined agenda even after their “let’s make the public believe they have a say in the outcome” feel-good public meetings of a year ago.

I realize that the Forest Service does not have a lot of money to spend on road maintenance but all I ask is that on roads they will no longer maintain that they please let people continue to drive the roads until nature makes the roads impassable; please do not block the roads with cement blocks, stones or logs;do not dig trenches in the roadbed; do not remove existing culverts; do not decommission the roads by mutilating the road bed as you did to the White Chuck River Road No. 23 (which each year thousands used to access Kennedy Hot Springs and Glacier Peak and now probably less that 50 people per year hike the extra miles on the torn up road bed with steep sided 10-30 foot deep trenches, streams that cannot be crossed eight months of the year and over and around mounds of dirt/boulders/logs that were moved on to the road bed making walking the old road bed difficult and biking impossible.)

Keep the old road beds so that people can continue to walk on them. Remember that each closed road adds miles and miles of walking to get to trailheads making it hard or impossible for the old, young, families and disabled and adds hours and days to get to back country locations.

Is a tax levy the best way to fund schools? Of course not.

The best way would be for the state of Washington to fund schools properly, and fairly.

But until that time, it behooves us all to make certain that our schools are funded adequately so that our children receive the best education available.

Education is the paramount equalizer, and is the most important legacy we can leave for our children.

Please ask questions if you do not understand how tax rates work. Call your local school district and ask for a breakdown of costs. Don’t just assume, and don’t perpetuate misconceptions, fear mongering and distrust. By law, schools must be transparent and cannot collect more than the published rates.

Care to protest in North Korea?

Anacortes psychiatrist Richard C. Hall, M.D. opined strenuously on Jan. 30, “Three minutes to midnight no time to rebuild Trident,” that America was on the verge of making a huge mistake if it plans to replace the deterrent force nuclear armed submarine fleet.

He denies that deterrence works. His article was both thoughtful and instructive.

Most Americans probably have little knowledge of the subject. No rational person wants to see the world destroyed in a nuclear holocaust. Dr. Hall busies himself opposing American nuclear weapons and leads a professional group in this state with that as its goal.

Is it irrational to support nuclear weapons? President

IN OUR VIEW | Student journalism

Regardless of what one thinks of the future of newspapers and other print media, journalism in some form will — must — continue as a vital part of our society and democracy.

And that requires journalists who are trained as much in journalism’s responsibilities as in its rights. For many that education starts early in public middle schools and high schools, then continues at colleges or universities.

Legislation now in the state Senate would clarify the rights of students to free expression and stress to them their responsibilities.

Since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1988, the standard has been that while students don’t “check their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse door,” administrators for secondary schools and school districts were not violating those rights when they censored or punished students for the content of school publications or required a pre-publication review of student newspapers

Some spinning Clinton’s Iowa win into a loss

N

ASHUA, N.H. — Q: When is a win not a win?

A: When the winner is Hillary Clinton.

The Iowa Democratic Party confirmed in its final tally Tuesday that Clinton had won Monday night’s caucuses. She not only beat Bernie Sanders but got more votes than any Republican candidate, DANA MILBANK and she becomes the first woman ever to win the Iowa caucuses. Clinton remains the prohibitive favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Yet from the coverage of Monday’s caucuses, you’d think Clinton was on the ropes.

The New York Times: “Hillary Clinton Campaign, Unnerved by Iowa, Braces for New Hampshire” The Washington Post: “Photo finish reveals shortcomings of candidate who once seemed invincible” Politico: “How Iowa went wrong for Hillary Clinton” CNN: “Did Hillary Clinton really win the Iowa caucuses?”

One shudders to imagine the coverage if she had lost Iowa.

Journalists were faulting Clinton for flunking the expectations game by barely defeating a 74-year-old socialist who once trailed distantly. But that dismissed the salient fact that she won — and that her performance fit with forecasts.

Yes, the RealClearPolitics polling average showed her up 4 points in Iowa, but a few days earlier that same average showed Sanders with a slight lead. As for the margin of victory, Rick Santorum defeated Mitt Romney by all of 34 votes in 2012 — yet his win was reported as a conquest.

Why the disparate treatment? Some see sexism, which is difficult to prove.

But there does seem to be a long-running game in which Clinton can never quite meet the expectations set for her, even if her actual achievements are considerable.

She raised a ton of money — but Sanders raised almost as much! She won the Iowa caucuses — but she didn’t win by enough!

Yes, the narrow win in Iowa could make for a more protracted nomination battle. So would an expected loss in New Hampshire, which the media will likely attribute to Clinton’s weakness rather than Sanders being a New Englander (like previous New Hampshire victors Romney, John Kerry, Paul Tsongas, Michael Dukakis and Edmund Muskie). But it may have been a hard slog no matter who was in the race with Clinton: She’s a candidate of steadiness at a time when the electorate wants iconoclasts.

Voters, particularly young ones, are easily wooed by talk of free college and free health care. They can be intemperate (as demonstrated by the supporters at the Sanders rally in Des Moines on Monday night who booed Clinton when she appeared on television and chanted “She’s a liar!”). But Clinton, to her credit, is not pretending to be something other than herself this time. “I come to you with a lifetime of service and advocacy and of getting results” was her less-than-soaring pitch here Tuesday.

Clinton staffers have come to expect that they’ll have to fight every hour — literally. After Clinton’s speech Monday night, in which she stopped short of claiming victory, aides briefed reporters about 1:30 a.m. aboard the campaign plane on the Des Moines airport tarmac, trying mightily to spin a victory in the absence of final results.

“The only candidate who can emerge from tonight’s caucuses with a win is Hillary Clinton,” Brian Fallon said.

“We believe,” said Jennifer Palmieri, “that we won. Our modeling shows that.”

When the plane landed in New Hampshire at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, Fallon announced that the Iowa Democratic Party and NBC had projected Clinton the winner.

“We’re still waiting for CNN and ABC and AP,” he told reporters. “As soon as they project it, we’ll open the door to the plane.”

A few hours later, at Nashua Community College, the candidate herself felt it safe to declare victory. “I am so thrilled that I’m coming to New Hampshire after winning Iowa,” she told about 800 supporters. “I’ve won and I’ve lost there. It’s a lot better to win.”

Clinton’s most important point: “Don’t ever forget,” she told the cheering crowd.

“Close elections matter. You either win or you lose.”

That’s how it works, and Hillary Clinton won the Iowa caucuses. Let’s cut her some slack.

threatening the officer, weren’t charged because the county prosecutor said officer Ryan Donald acted without malicious intent.

Changing existing law is “a righteous cause dealing with the sanctity of human life,” said Karen Johnson, co-founder of the Black Alliance of Thurston County, who requested the bill. Passing the bill would help build trust between law enforcement and their communities, she said.

Moscoso said he didn’t expect the bill to gain much traction in the Legislature this year, but said he wants to continue discussing the issue with prosecutors, law enforcement and others to figure out compromise legislation that can be introduced next session.

The committee also heard House Bill 2882 that requires law enforcement to collect data on incidents where officers use deadly force and House Bill 2908 that would create a legislative task force on policing standards.

Inslee appointed Patricia Lashway to the post Wednesday. She currently serves as the assistant secretary responsible for the day-to-day management of the 17,500-employee agency.

Previously, Lashway was the senior

director of policy and external relations for the agency.

The move comes after Secretary Kevin Quigley announced his resignation Jan. 5, saying three years is the right amount of time for him to serve in the role.

His last day is Feb. 22.

The agency runs several state programs including Medicaid, Child Protective Services and mental health and addiction services. Lashway’s appointment will start Feb. 23.

Trooper injured in U.S. 2 collision EVERETT — A Washington State Patrol trooper was taken to the hospital with minor injuries Wednesday after an early morning collision on the U.S. 2 trestle.

The two-car crash slowed westbound traffic on the thoroughfare for nearly three hours. That touched off a snarl that led to gridlock in Lake Stevens and parts of Marysville.

The accident blocked the right lane at Homeacres Road. It was reported around 5 a.m. and cleared a few minutes before 8 a.m., according to the state Department of Transportation.

Medical aid and the Washington State Patrol were called to the scene.

Trooper Mark Francis said the crash occurred when a Marysville man was driving his car too fast for

The bill would also modify when police can use deadly force, sayings it’s justifiable when deadly force is necessary to prevent an “an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury” to them or others.

Moscoso said conversation about a bill started in March of 2015, and was influenced by police shootings in Pasco and Olympia, as well as protests of police killings and militarization of police departments around the nation.

A prosecutor declined to charge three police officers who fatally shot 35-year-old Antonio Zambrano-Montes in February 2015, saying there wasn’t evidence the officers acted with malice. ZambranoMontes, an immigrant from Mexico, threw rocks at officers and told them to kill him before he was shot to death.

OLYMPIA — A bill that would make it easier to charge police officers with crimes for improper use of deadly force received its first public hearing Wednesday, drawing testimony from many who argued that it’s too difficult to prosecute law enforcement for shooting people in Washington.

Sponsored by Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Bothell, and group of other Democrats, House Bill 2907 notably removes a portion of existing law that says police can’t be held criminally liable for using deadly force if they acted in good faith and without malice.

Proving an officer did not act in good faith, but with malice makes it “virtually impossible to hold law enforcement officers accountable for unjustified use of force,” said Doug Honig, communications director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, in a phone interview before

the hearing in the House Public Safety Committee.

Washington is one the hardest states in the nation to charge an officer for use of deadly force, Honig said.

“If we are that much of an outlier, we have to ask ourselves, ‘Is that where we want to be?”’ Moscoso said in a phone interview on Tuesday.

Prosecuting more police shouldn’t be the focus of legislation, testified Mitch Barker, executive director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police. Instead, focus should be on reducing improper police shootings, he said.

Tom McBride, executive secretary of the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, testified that eliminating the language protecting officers acting in good faith would make it too easy to unfairly second guess police after an incident.

“We don’t think this standard is fair given the role we ask officers to do,” he said.

conditions on his way to work.

The man, 51, reportedly jammed on his brakes, changed lanes and hit a guard rail and the trooper’s vehicle.

The Marysville man was not injured. Both westbound lanes of U.S. 2 were closed at one point so the man’s car could be flipped back onto its wheels.

The trooper was taken to the hospital, but was cleared to return to work to finish his shift, Francis said.

The trooper, 33, has been with the Washington State Patrol for 10 years.

Lake Stevens: Tax recording error found State auditors recently found an error in how Lake Stevens officials recorded millions of dollars in real estate excise taxes.

Financial and accountability audits released by the state last week

found no problems with how the city’s money was managed, but a separate management letter from auditors noted one mistake.

The excise taxes are supposed to be recorded as “reserved” money because they have limited uses.

Instead, the city reported the amounts, ranging from $4.3 million to $6.5 million between 2013 and 2014, as “unreserved.” The error happened because the state changed how excise taxes are reported a few years ago but the city didn’t update its reporting, interim city administrator Mary Swenson said. The error didn’t cost the city any money, she said.

“Nothing was spent,” she said.

“The dollar amounts were all correct, they were just put in the wrong column.”

The mistake has been corrected, according to the state auditor’s office.

Tate managed the halfway house on Beverly Lane for his stepbrother, according to court documents. He told police he’d been attracted to Dubeau since he first moved in.

He lured him to his room with methamphetamine, and he later decided that because Dubeau hadn’t paid for the drugs he was going to have sex with him.

Dubeau refused his

advances and Tate started to strangle the victim.

He then wrapped a belt around his neck and punched Dubeau until he stopped struggling.

He sexually assaulted the victim and watched pornography, court papers said.

He borrowed gas money from another lodger and drove to a drug house in Lynnwood. He told police he spent the day smoking

crack cocaine. He then called 911 to confess to the killing.

Tate also admitted that he’d sexually assaulted two other men in California. He said he’d convinced the victims not to report the crimes.

Tate doesn’t have any prior felony convictions.

Insurance signups healthy Number of uninsured people in state cut in half, but 500,000 residents are still without insurance.

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The number of uninsured people in Washington state has been cut in half since health care reform took effect, but there are still about half a million uninsured people in the state, the insurance commissioner’s office reported Wednesday.

The exact number of uninsured people is still unknown, but Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler says Washington has clearly made significant progress, thanks to the Affordable Care Act and the state’s

decision to expand access to free insurance through Medicaid.

Some of the 20 states that have not expanded access to the Medicaid program are now trying to do so, Kreidler said.

“It’s just such common sense,” Kreidler said. The federal government is paying for the program that has helped states like Washington dramatically cuts the ranks of the uninsured.

Kreidler notes that in states that did not expand Medicaid, the working poor who aren’t insured at work have to choose between paying a federal fine or buying insurance they can’t really afford.

On Monday, the people who run the state insurance exchange reported 200,000 people signed up for insurance during the open enrollment period that ended Sunday. That’s about 35,000 more people than exchange officials expected.

More than 150,000 who didn’t have insurance before the Affordable Care Act took effect have likely bought insurance in the individual market outside the exchange, Kreidler said.

The rest of the newly insured in Washington state have signed up for Medicaid.

Kreidler credits several aspects of the Affordable Care Act for nearly cutting Washington’s uninsured in half: the Medicaid expansion, the provision allowing parents to keep young people on their plans until age 26 and the states’ insurance exchange.

Kreidler believes the remaining half a million people will need more help and assistance to sign up for health insurance.

Health insurance is still too expensive for low income people who make too much to qualify for Medicaid. And some are still confused about the process.

“It’s going to take work,” Kreidler acknowledged.

Officials say the Washington residents still without health insurance are mostly between the ages of 18 and 34, earn lower incomes, are less educated and are mostly white or Hispanic.

Kreidler expects the numbers of uninsured people will continue to drop as the federal penalties for being uninsured continue to rise.

Adults who don’t have insurance this year— through work or Medicaid or the individual market — will face penalties of at least $695. Families could be asked to pay more than $2,000 in fines.

Progress has been made in every Washington county, with the biggest changes in Adams, Yakima and Grays Harbor counties, Kreidler said, but the latest figures his department has to show this are from 2014.

A lift after getting released Been There, Done That nonprofit group helps felons adjust

By Sarah Grothjan The Daily News

LONGVIEW — For 30 years, Daphne Kraabell weathered the highs and lows of meth addiction.

She’d walk around with $20,000 to $30,000 in her pocket, the earnings of the drug deals that supported her addiction.

But she faced prison time twice for those same deals — nearly two years the first time and four years the second time.

Now several years removed from her last prison stint, Kraabell’s life looks much different.

She’s in her fifth quarter at Lower Columbia College, where she studies chemical dependency. Kraabell, 51, regularly makes the college’s president’s list, and she hopes to someday become an advocate for people like herself who have struggled with addiction.

But she couldn’t have turned her life around, she said, without the help of a local nonprofit — “Been There, Done That.”

“Without this program, I wouldn’t be here today,” Krabbell said, referring to her successes at college. “I haven’t looked back since, and I don’t ever plan on looking back.”

The nonprofit guides felons returning to Cowlitz County after they finish their jail or prison sentences. Joel Whiteside, 34, has worked with 47 former felons since the organization gained its nonprofit status in 2014.

Whiteside himself served two prison stints — a 28-month sentence when he was 17 years old for assault and a three-year sentence in 2008 for violating a no-contact order.

The organization’s top priority is helping felons develop a release plan that details where they’re going to live and what they’re going to do once they’re released. Whiteside guides them through the process of finding a job or applying for college. In some cases, he helps reunite them with children and other family members.

“I believe if (the felons) don’t have a release plan prior to release, the likelihood of them returning to criminal activity . is a lot more likely,” he said. “History shows that without a plan, individuals will repeat the same mistakes and same choices (they made) prior to incarceration.”

Kraabell had just finished chemical dependency treatment at the time she met Whiteside.

She had goals for her life postprison, and Whiteside helped her accomplish them.

He helped her sign up for financial aid and walked her through the steps of writing

New fish consumption rule proposed OLYMPIA — The state Department of Ecology has released a new fish consumption rule that contains a more protective cancer risk rate.

The new draft rule released Wednesday provides a foundation for the state’s efforts to reduce and control toxics in the environment.

The rule said that water quality standards should be based on a daily average fish consumption rate of 175 grams and a one-in1-million cancer risk rate.

The federal Clean Water Act requires states to establish standards for how clean lakes, rivers and marine waters need to be for the health of people and fish, and to control pollution limits for businesses and cities. Public hearings on the proposed rule are scheduled in Seattle on April 5 and Spokane on April 6.

Bellingham: Snowboarder recovering A snowboarder is recovering after getting lost and spending two nights in the backcountry near the Mt. Baker Ski Area during heavy snowfall. The Bellingham Herald reported that Whatcom County authorities said Oliver Smith, 21, had gotten separated from a friend while snowboarding near the ski area’s northern boundary Friday. Smith’s friend had made it back to the parking lot, where he waited for Smith to show up. Search and rescue crews were called when Smith didn’t return. Searchers looked for the snowboarder up until late Friday night, when the search was called off due to 14 inches of snowfall.

Crews returned Saturday and still found no sign of Smith. It wasn’t until Sunday morning that searchers discovered Smith, who had showed signs of hypothermia but suffered no serious injuries.

Been There, Done That founder Joel Whiteside (left) stands with Daphne Kraabell and Nate Richardson, who are benefiting from the program, in Kelso on Jan. 21.

My neighbor (in prison) was doing life in prison for murder, and ... reality set in that this isn’t what I want.

— Nate Richardson, former prison inmate

her first college paper, she said.

When she needed advice, she said Whiteside was only a phone call away.

“When I told him my story, he told me his story, and I knew that there was hope,” she explained. “He’d been to prison, too. He changed his life. He went to college. He got a degree, and he’s this amazing guy.”

“I wanted that,” she added.

“I wanted what he had, and he said, ‘You can have it. You can have everything I have.”’

Nate Richardson had a similar story.

Richardson, 43, got out of prison in June 2015 after a 20-month sentence for delivering meth. He said he’s lost count how many times he’s been to jail.

But it was the prison stint that evoked change, he said. He knew the first day of his prison

sentence that he wanted something different.

“My neighbor (in prison) was doing life in prison for murder, and ... reality set in that this isn’t what I want,” he said.

Before he was incarcerated, he said he had a semi-normal life, punctuated by periods of drug abuse. However, the abuse worsened after a divorce, and he sold meth to pay for his habit. Once incarcerated, he began thinking about life after his release.

“My life started over as soon as I got to prison, not as soon as I got out.”

Richardson met Whiteside at a narcotics anonymous meeting during a work release in April.

Through working with Whiteside and going to NA, Richardson said he began working toward getting into LCC, where he plans to study mechanical or civil

engineering. Without the help of Whiteside’s organization, he said he likely wouldn’t attempt earning a college degree.

“There would have been a greater chance (of giving up) because of all the road blocks that I ran into on each goal that I set,” he said. “Joel kind of was like, ‘OK, what are we going to do? What’s next?’ And he made sure that I had what I needed to do it.”

Richardson added that it’s been helpful meeting others through the nonprofit who have overcome the same hardships, a sentiment shared by Kraabell.

Kraabell said meeting people with similar pasts has helped her shed the “guilt and shame” she felt after leaving prison.

“You’re clean and sober. You look at yourself, and you think ‘I’ve wasted my life,’” she said.

“You’re drowning.”

She credits the organization’s help — particularly that of Whiteside — for helping her move past that.

“What’s going to change people’s lives is ‘Been There, Done That,”’ she said. “Because that’s what people need to see and hear is that’s it’s OK — ‘I’ve been. I’ve done that. You’re not the only person.’”

A former private school ski coach in Seattle accused of secretly recording female students undressing on a Canada ski trip has been sentenced to eight years in prison. KCPQ-TV reported that a federal judge sentenced Jason Christoper Paur, 44, on Tuesday. He previously pleaded guilty to a charge of transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. Paur was arrested in British Columbia in December 2013 after police say the students discovered a camera in their bedroom. Paur had worked as a ski instructor at The Bush School for 10 years. He was fired following his arrest.

Olympia: Bill would lower gender wage gap The Washington House has passed a bill that seeks to reduce the wage gap between men and women and prohibit employers from assigning less favorable employment opportunities to women because of their gender.

The measure passed Wednesday on a 56-41 vote and now heads to the Senate for consideration. House Bill 1646 would also ban employers from retaliating against an employee for asking about their wages or the salary of other employees, among other practices.

Sexual assault protection Washington’s Senate has passed a bill that would allow victims of sexual assault to get a permanent protection order against their attacker. Senate Bill 6157 passed the chamber on a unanimous, bipartisan vote Wednesday and now heads to the House for consideration. Sexual assault protection orders can last for a maximum of two years under existing law.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Your innovative way of dealing with whatever comes your way will be entertaining, but don’t let the attention you get this year cause you to lose sight of what’s realistic. You’ll be tempted to overdo it, causing emotional instability if you aren’t selective in the choices and commitments you make. Your numbers are 3, 14, 16, 26, 33, 35, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Participate in the cause you feel most passionate about. Emotions will mount, encouraging you to make a move you’ve been contemplating. Don’t overreact if a friend, colleague or sibling makes a negative comment or does something you don’t like. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Try something new and you’ll discover a talent you didn’t know you had. You will be enlightened by the experience you have and the people you encounter. A journey will lead to a new beginning and a fresh way of doing things. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do whatever it takes to reflect and find solutions to situations that have the potential to leave you in a vulnerable position. Stick to a strict budget and refuse to be enticed by someone who wants you to be reckless with your spending. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your imagination take over. Follow your heart and trust your intuition to take you on a magical journey. A partnership that allows you to follow a dream or explore your creativity will develop.

Romance is encouraged. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Address what you are dissatisfied with in your life. It’s up to you to make the effort if you want to change your life or your direction. A day trip will lead to the information you require to initiate positive changes. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take care of your

responsibilities so that you can get on with your day and do the things you want. Participating in a function that is geared toward children or socializing can be fun, but be careful not to overspend. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Listen to complaints, but don’t let anyone make you feel guilty. It’s important to focus on making personal changes that will lead to greater happiness and less stress. You may want to consider a move or a change of friends. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make concrete moves that allow you the freedom to follow your dreams and do as you please. Someone you meet along the way will offer encouragement and might want to tag along with you as well. Romance is highlighted. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An emotional or indulgent streak will lead to disaster.

Before things get out of hand, take a step back and consider what you can do to avoid mishaps. Don’t venture too far from home. Problems while traveling are likely. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll attract positive attention with your forthright attitude and your keen sense of perception. Make the most of your day by taking care of business and investing your time in what you do best. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll attract attention and offers that you won’t want to refuse. Good fortune is heading your way, and the opportunity to use your imagination will result in a new and exciting project. Embrace change, but refrain from overspending. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get involved in a worthy cause or reconnect with the people you have worked with in the past and good things will transpire. You will advance if you do the legwork required to put your creative plans in motion. Romance is recommended. ★★

No suprises for UW on letter-of-intent day Washington brings aboard 18 new players in a drama-free day that head coach Chris Petersen says ‘turned out like we were hoping.’

INSIDE

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SEATTLE — It was a day of no surprises, which seemed to suit University of Washington football coach Chris Petersen just fine.

Of course, his team had just finished bringing in 18 promising new players and Petersen really seemed to like that part, too.

Wednesday was NCAA letter-ofintent day for college football and the Huskies collected the signatures of 17 high school seniors who had previously made verbal commitments to Washington, plus one player who was a carryover from the high school class of

✓ A complete list of signees for Washington, Washington St. and Eastern Washington, C5 2015. They represent the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Texas, with eight offensive players, nine defensive players and one punter.

In all, Petersen said, “I think (signing day) really turned out like we were hoping it would.”

But if signing day itself was uneventful, the days leading up to it included some uncertainty. Verbal commitments are non-binding, and rival recruiters sometimes continue pursuing prospects until the ink is actually on the

page.

“There’s a lot of good players here that were recruited by a lot of people,” Petersen said, scanning the list of UW recruits. “And just (for the players) to keep the drama out of it and stay true to what they’d decided to do, we’re really proud of those guys.”

In particular, the Huskies held on to two players who opted for Washington over schools much closer to their homes — defensive back Byron Murphy from Scottsdale, Ariz., and defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike from Allen, Texas. Both made their commitments to Washington two weeks ago and both, no doubt, had folks back home urging them to reconsider.

Without mentioning Murphy and Onwuzurike by name, Petersen said See HUSKIES, Page C5

Pain of losing the Super Bowl haunts many

By Barry Wilner Associated Press

Captain Dawson Leedahl also scored for the Silvertips who earned their third win in seven tries this season against the Winterhawks.

“We kind of already knew (about the rivalry) coming in — everybody talked about it — but

SAN FRANCISCO — The pain of losing a Super Bowl never really disappears. It drives players who have experienced it to get back and get it right.

Ricky Proehl has been to four Super Bowls as a player, going 2-2. He won and lost with the Rams, lost with the Panthers, and got the second ring in his final NFL season, 2006 with Indianapolis.

He’s at the big game again as Carolina’s wide receivers coach, buoyed by memories of earning those rings, haunted by remembrances of the two failures.

“Anger, disbelief, shock,” Proehl said Wednesday of his reactions to walking off the field a Super Bowl loser.

“And then they rush you off like it’s a cattle drive so they can set up a stage for the winning team. You sometimes don’t even get a chance to congratulate the winners.

“It’s painful.”

Proehl has relayed those

Rookies Dewar, King each score in Everett’s 3-2 win over Portland

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Everett Silvertips forwards Connor Dewar and Brian King might be rookies, but both are cognizant of the rivalry the Tips have developed with the Portland Winterhawks.

The two 16-year-olds each

scored a goal, with Dewar setting up King for the game-winner at 16:08 in the third period as Everett defeated the visiting Winterhawks 3-2 before 3,176 fans Wednesday at Xfinity Arena.

“We put a lot of emphasis on going to the net and just trying to do whatever it takes — outwork (Portland) and battle hard,” said

Dewar, whose second-period goal was his eighth of the season and briefly gave Everett a 2-1 lead. “I know all the division match-ups are pretty big here.

I’m starting to realize everyone in this division is a rival.”

King’s goal came from the left circle off a pass from Dewar and was his third tally of the season.

Arlington girls clinch Wesco 3A North championship The Eagles surge after a slow start to beat the Spartans 62-41 and capture their fourth straight league title.

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Arlington senior Jayla Russ is used to winning. As a freshman, her team won a league championship and went on to finish second at the 4A state tournament.

Russ, now a senior, and the Eagles won their fourth straight league championship on Wednesday with a 62-41 win over Stanwood.

“She was really excited — and

she should be,” Arlington head coach Joe Marsh said.

Marsh is in his fifth season as the Arlington head coach and has now won four league championships and made it to the state tournament three times.

“It’s a great run,” Marsh said.

“It’s a testament to these kids.

They’ve had a great run. They’ve won a lot of games in four years. ... We just continue to do what we do. It’s a great feeling and I’m really proud of this group and I’m proud of this program. It’s been

amazing.”

Russ first made a name for herself with a major contribution to the Eagles’ playoff run to the state championship game when she was a freshman. Three years later she’s still showing up in the biggest games. She led all scorers with 17 points and her eight points in the final quarter helped put the Spartans away.

“My teammates were just passing me the ball and it was just great ball movement,” Russ said.

After four years, Marsh is used to seeing Russ step up.

“I feel like I’ve been coaching her forever,” Marsh said. “She

has a way of stepping up in big games. You get kids at the end of their career and they start to see the end. With Jayla for me, it’s about effort. When Jayla puts forth that effort she always has great games.”

Trailing the Eagles by one game coming into the game, Stanwood still had a chance at the league championship with a win. That chance, coupled with the celebration of their two seniors for senior night, had the Spartans fired up early. They led 9-4 and held a 13-11 lead after the first quarter.

aw a very entertaining video on social media a few days ago of people harvesting razor clams. That’s “harvesting” razor clams, not “digging” razor clams.

It showed folks in either the U.K. or on the U.S. East Coast — I can’t remember which — on a beach, gathering razor clams, but with not a shovel or clam gun in sight. What they were armed with, if you can believe this, was a container of salt. Plain table salt.

They simply poured salt down a clam hole, added a glass of saltwater, and watched the clam come up out of the sand as fast as it could dig. Amazing.

So when I stopped laughing, and thinking that perhaps I had found a better, easier way to put razor clams on the table, I decided to talk to an expert.

Enter Dan Ayres, razor clam manager for the state Fish and Wildlife Department.

“Yeah,” he said, “I’ve seen some of that material and, unfortunately, it doesn’t work for our razor clams.”

He explained that the clams in question are a different species, and that they live in a softer, muddier environment than ours.

“We have a few here,” he said, “but not many. We call them ‘jacknife’ clams, and in at least some parts of Europe they’re called ‘razor fish.’”

The clams are longer and more slender than ours, but the shell color is the same and they resemble the handles of oldfashioned straight razors. Ayres said Japan has the clams, as well as coastal Europe and some other areas.

“I was in Amsterdam with my family a while back,” he said.

“We happened to walk past a market, and there were all these long, skinny razor clams for sale, stacked like cordwood. If cooking facilities had been available to us, we would have liked to have tried them.”

I asked him if he ever saw people attempting the technique on any of our coastal beaches.

“Oh, yeah,” he said. “Every now and then we’ll see somebody out there with their container of Morton’s, giving it a shot.”

Recreational smelt dippers will get a brief shot at the Cowlitz River on Saturday, as the state Department of Fish and Wildlife opens the dipnet fishery for six hours, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The short opening should be a good one, according to state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. Hymer said Tuesday that the river was dropping and clearing and that water temperatures were approaching a favorable range. He added that a commercial opening on the Columbia in the Longview area Monday was “promising.”

The forecast is for a less robust run this year than in 2012 and 2013, Hymer said, but if you find the smelt (actually eulachon), that prediction means little.

The limit is 10 pounds per person, about one-quarter of a fivegallon bucket. Don’t ignore the regs, Hymer said, because the fish-

So, being pretty much an idiot around electronic media, I’m probably well behind the curve on this one. But if you haven’t already seen the video, you’ve got to search for “razor clams” and see what you can come up with. It’s a gas.

Meanwhile, closer to home, the state has approved a monthlong dig at Long Beach only.

Copalis also tested below the allowable level of marine toxins in the clams, Ayres said, but it was the first beach to open this winter and diggers have already taken 40 percent of the annual quota. Managers are saving some of the remaining clams for later digs.

The other Pacific beaches — Twin Harbors, Mocrocks, Kalaloch — remain closed.

“It’s possible that sometime during this upcoming Long Beach dig we can add another beach,” Ayres said. “Probably not Twin Harbors anytime soon, but perhaps Mocrocks or Copalis.

The status of all the coastal beaches can be monitored at the state’s razor clam webpage, http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing.

The extended dig at Long Beach opens today and runs through March 10, on evening tides. The fastest driving route to the Long Beach Peninsula, Ayres said, is probably south on I-5 to Portland, then west along the Oregon side of the Columbia on Highway 30, then back across the river on the Astoria bridge.

A list of tides will be posted on the razor clam website (above), and on the NOAA webpage, http://tidesandcurrents.noaa. gov/map.

Tides for the first week of the dig are as follows: today, 3:41

ery will be well monitored.

There are a number of good dipping spots along the westside Cowlitz highway, from Castle Rock down to Kelso, including the Carnival Market area on the north edge of Kelso, and Riverside Park, just south of town. Take the Castle Rock exit from I-5, cross the river at Castle Rock, and turn south at Four Corners.

Bob’s Sports in Longview sells dipnets for $45, according to spokesman Cody Clark, as well as replacement netting. Call 360-425-3870.

Hymer said it’s possible an additional opening could be added once the run strength is known.

Keep track of the fishery — and the possibility of an additional opening — on the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website, www.wdfw. wa.gov.

Smelt update The latest word from state biologist Joe Hymer on Saturday’s Cowlitz River recreational smelt dipnet opening is positive. He said a short commercial fishery Monday found smelt on the mainstem Columbia from Longview to Astoria, and that there were birds and sea lions working smelt on the lower Cowlitz.

The dipnet opening runs for just six hours Saturday — from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. — with a limit of 10 pounds per person, about a quarter of a fivegallon bucket.

Derby The Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby is scheduled for Feb. 19, 20 and 21, with a ticket price of $40 and a first-place payout of $10,000. Second place is worth $2,000 and third, $1,000. There are also merchandise prizes available.

Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said his tackle shop is the only place selling tickets in our vicinity.

The event will incorporate the same boundaries as last year — Marine Areas 5 and 6, and a portion of Area 9. A complication has come up, however, with word that the state has cut the hatchery chinook limit in Area 6 from two fish to one, effective Friday through April 10. The reason given by salmon managers is that anglers have already taken better than 70 percent of the set quota.

Some knowledgeable anglers are expressing doubt about Area 6 being available to derby fishers by Feb. 19. Even if it is, anglers will need to decide whether their first legal fish should be entered, or released and replaced (maybe) with a larger one.

Neither derby spokesman Barry

Wood nor the state’s Puget Sound recreational salmon manager, Ryan Lothrop, were available for comment. Try the derby website, www. gardinersalmonderby.org.

Spring Chinook The first verified springer of the 2016 season was caught over the weekend below Prescott, on herring, and joint seasons for the Columbia were set by Washington and Oregon.

The fishery is open now below the I-5 bridge with a limit of two spring chinook per day. The action normally doesn’t pick up until March, however, when the new rules take effect. From March 1 through April 9, anglers fishing below Bonneville Dam may keep one hatchery springer. The fishery will be open to both boat and bank anglers upriver to Beacon Rock and, for bank anglers only, from there upriver to the fishing boundary just below the dam.

The sport fishery closes in all areas of the lower Columbia on two Tuesdays — March 29 and April 5 — to accommodate potential commercial fisheries.

Eagles From Page C1

Then Arlington (8-0 league, 18-0 overall) showed why it hasn’t lost a game so far this season.

The Eagles went on a 19-5 run in the first six minutes of the second quarter to take a commanding 12-point lead and went on to lead 33-22 at halftime.

That lead only continued to grow in the third and fourth quarters.

“They beat us up on the boards,” Marsh said. “I think they had 14 offensive rebounds in the first half, which is too much. That was really one of the things we wanted to take care of in the second half is to make sure we get the rebounds. I think in the second half we kind of flipped it around. We did a great job of getting rebounds at the offensive end. That was a key for us coming into the second and half — and just settling down and playing great defense and I think we did that.”

Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards and Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hill were both on hand for the game, no doubt taking one more look at two of the teams they might face in the upcoming district tournament.

“Everybody is getting ready,” Marsh said. “We know it’s going to be a battle with great teams. Our goal is to just be playing our best basketball going into that tournament because we know we’ve got a tough road.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Wildcats thump Washington St. Ko leads at Coates

By Howie Stalwick Associated Press

PULLMAN — Ryan Anderson brought back memories of Arizona greats of the past.

“One of the best performances we’ve had in a long, long time,” Wildcats coach Sean Miller said of Anderson, who had a career-high 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in a 79-64 victory over Washington State on Wednesday night.

Anderson, a senior transfer from Boston College, was 10 of 16 from the field and 11 of 17 at the free throw line for the 23rd-ranked Wildcats (185, 6-4 Pac-12).

“My teammates found me in a lot of great spots,” Anderson said. “I think any time you have a game like that with so many great players on your team, you have to credit your guys for finding you.”

Josh Hawkinson had 14 points — all in the first half — and 17 rebounds for Washington State, but he was one of many Cougars who struggled to deal with Anderson at both ends of the court.

“He’s a really physical player,” Hawkinson said.

“He can play inside and outside, too. Makes his free throws.”

“This whole year for me has just been surreal,” Anderson said. “It’s been a lot of fun. I don’t want it to end.”

Thanks largely to Anderson, the Wildcats made more free throws than the Cougars attempted. Arizona went 21 for 29 at the

line; WSU was 15 for 19.

The last-place Cougars (9-13, 1-9) shot 34.9 percent from the field while losing their eighth straight overall, and their 10th in a row to Arizona.

“It’s probable when I look at the (game) tape, I’m going to see the

same old tape again,” WSU coach Ernie Kent said. “The mental lapses on the floor, when you forget to block out (on rebounds), forget to rotate (on defense), miss a layup, miss a free throw. “... Players have to step up and have ownership

and learn how to put teams away and close out halves and close out games.”

The Cougars trailed 29-28 before Arizona closed out the first half on a 10-2 run. The Wildcats led by 19 points in the second half, let the Cougars briefly pull within eight midway through, then pulled away steadily at Beasley Coliseum.

Gabe Marks added 14 points and Mark Tollefsen had 12 for the Wildcats.

Ike Iroegbu led Washington State with 20 points.

Anderson said the Wildcats had to “bring our own energy” while playing before a quiet crowd announced at 3,189.

Arizona sophomore point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright made his first college start when regular starter Kadeem Allen became ill. Allen played 7 minutes and fouled out after scoring two points. Jackson-Cartwright had seven points, four assists, one steal and no turnovers in 35 minutes. Miller described Jackson-Cartwright’s performance as “excellent.”

Wednesday’s loss assured the Cougars of a non-winning record in conference play for the 19th time in 21 years.

The stretch began with a 9-9 mark in 1995-96. The current streak of eight non-winning conference seasons includes a 9-9 showing in 2010-11.

Washington State has not finished above .500 overall since a six-year run of winning seasons ended in 2011-12.

Championship Associated Press OCALA, Fla. — Topranked Lydia Ko shot a 3-under 69 on Wednesday in the Coates Golf Championship in her first round of the season, leaving her four strokes behind leader Ha Na Jang.

The 18-year-old Ko closed with a birdie on the par-5 18th, her fourth birdie on the back nine on the Golden Ocala course that features some tributes to holes at Augusta National, St. Andrews and others.

Ko tied for second last year in Ocala to reach No. 1 in the world ranking, and went on to win five times, and sweep the pointsbased player of the year award, Race to the CME Globe and the money title.

“First nine holes were pretty rusty, but almost felt like our whole group as we made the turn, we started making birdies,” Ko said. “On 10 it was my first birdie of the season, so it was great.

“Obviously, starting to get back into playing competitively and think more target-oriented. It’s definitely different than hitting the ball on the range. It’s a pretty solid start. I’m happy with the way I finished today and definitely the back nine, hitting a few wedges close.”

She is learning how to drive — a car.

“I got my learner’s permit, so whoever is around Orlando or around ChampionsGate, I would recommend not being on

the road when I am,” Ko said. “Everybody said it’s the same as a cart, but it’s nothing like a cart. It goes so much faster.”

Jang made an 18-foot birdie putt on 18 for a bogey-free 65 and a threestroke lead over six players.

Winless on the LPGA Tour, the South Korean player also tied for second last year behind Na Yeon Choi.

“It’s perfect, no bogeys,” Jang said. “I just keep going just simple, simple, simple.”

Jang had the first holein-one on a par 4 in LPGA Tour history last week in the season-opening event in the Bahamas. She used a 3-wood for the albatross on the 218-yard hole.

“I got my new dog, named it Albatross,” Jang said. “I have three dogs — Birdie, Eagle and Albatross. I need one more dog, Hole-in-one.”

U.S. Women’s Open champion In Gee Chun had a 68 in her first start as an LPGA Tour member.

Sei Young Kim, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Kim Kaufman, Candie Kung and Kelly Tan also shot 68.

Lexi Thompson was in the group at 69. She had only three pars on the first 14 holes, making seven birdies and four bogeys.

“It’s definitely challenging,” Thompson said.

“You have to keep it in the fairway with it being treelined. The rough is only about an inch deep, but you’re going to get some gnarly lies and some fliers, so you’ve got to keep it in the fairway.”

Mariners sign Korean-born slugger Lee to minor-league deal

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Less than a week after general manager Jerry Dipoto hinted the Mariners might add a first baseman, the club confirmed an agreement Wednesday with Dae-Ho Lee on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to big-league camp.

Lee, 33, batted .282 last season with 31 homers and 98 RBIs in 141 games for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in Japan’s Pacific League. A Korean native, he spent four years in Japan after an 11-year

career in the Korean Baseball Organization.

The Mariners also confirmed a minor-league deal with catcher Steve Lerud, which also includes an invitation to big-league camp.

“Dae-Ho gives us another potential righthanded power bat in the first base competition,” Dipoto said. “He has performed at a very high level of production in both Korea and Japan and we are excited to see how that translates to our team.”

Lee will battle Jesus Montero, Gaby Sanchez and Stefen Romero for

duty as a right-handed complement to first baseman Adam Lind, a left-handed hitter. Sanchez also played last season in Japan.

The Korea Times reported early Wednesday that Lee had reached agreement with the Mariners on a one-year deal for $4 million.

Lee sought a deal with a major-league team after he closed last season by becoming the first Koreanborn player selected as the Most Valuable Player in the Japan Series for leading the Hawks to the title over the Tokyo Yakult

Swallows.

“All baseball players dream of playing in the majors,” he said, “and I’d like to pursue that dream.

If I can give 100 percent, like I’ve done throughout my career, I don’t think it will be impossible.”

Lee averaged 143 games over the last four seasons in Japan while batting .293 with a .370 on-base percentage. He also averaged 24 homers and 87 RBIs. While playing for Lotte in Korea, he won three batting titles and two home run titles.

Because Lee was a free agent, major-league teams

NHL suspends Flames’ Wideman 20 games without pay for hit on linesman The NHL on Wednesday suspended Calgary Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman for 20 games without pay for violating Rule 40 (physical abuse of officials) during Calgary’s game against Nashville on Jan. 27.

Wideman had taken a hit and appeared dazed as he skated back toward his team’s bench. Linesman Don Henderson, backskating and watching play continue, inadvertently blocked Wideman’s access to the nearest door to the bench.

Wideman cross-checked Henderson from behind, knocking the linesman to the ice at 11:42 of the second period. Henderson was not hurt.

“I took a pretty hard hit down in the corner and had some pretty good pain in my shoulder and my neck and I was just trying to get off the ice and I was kind of keeled over and at the last second, I looked up and I saw him and I couldn’t avoid it,” Wideman told reporters after the game.”

Wideman participated in a hearing with NHL executives on Tuesday. He can

appeal the decision to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman; if he chooses to appeal that decision, his final appeal would be to an independent

arbitrator. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement and based on his average annual salary, Wideman will lose $564,516.20.

were not required to pay a posting fee in order to enter negotiations. Houston and St. Louis also showed interest in signing Lee. The News Tribune reported Saturday the Mariners had reached an agreement with Lerud, a 31-year-old with 12 years of minor-league experience. His major-league experience consists of nine games with Philadelphia in 2012-13.

“With the injury to Jesus Sucre,” Dipoto said, “we felt it was important to identify and sign another catcher with major-league

experience to provide depth at a crucial position.”

Sucre is expected to miss six months after undergoing surgery last week to repair a broken fibula and a severely sprained ankle in his right leg. He suffered the injuries Jan. 17 on a slide at second base while playing winter ball in Venezuela.

Lerud has spent time in six organizations and batted .238 last season with two homers and 23 RBIs in 60 games for Triple-A Syracuse in the Washington organization. He has a .224 career average in 867 minor-league games.

Sounders open preseason with loss to Whitecaps

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUCSON, ARIZ. — The Seattle Sounders opened their preseason Wednesday with a 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps.

But the more important numbers were 4-3-3 — the much-discussed formation the club took public for the first time.

“I thought it was good,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “There’s times where we defended with seven last year. We’ve got to tweak a few things in terms of our shape and in terms of where we’re trying to force the ball; but that’s something that we can sort out.”

With one exception, Seattle opened with a lineup that would seem as natural in a cup final as a preseason opener at the secondary stadium of the Kino Sports Complex. The starting forwards were Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins and Nelson Valdez. The midfielders were Osvaldo Alonso, Erik Friberg and Andreas Ivanschitz. And defenders Tyrone Mears, Chad Marshall, Jimmy Ockford and Joevin Jones played in front of goalkeeper Stefan Frei.

All of those are returning starters with the exceptions of the newly acquired Jones, and Ockford — the latter a surprise fill-in for Brad Evans, who was held out

with hamstring tightness.

“We’re trying to give him a good look; we’re trying to give Damion Lowe a good look,” Schmid said.

“So we’re playing one next to (veteran Zach Scott) and one next to Chad Marshall. Jimmy is a player who is good in the air. He made a couple of good plays defensively in this game. He’s come and he’s worked hard every day.”

The Cascadia rivals played scorelessly through the first 45 minutes when most of their first teams were playing.

“As the first half went on I thought we played better, which is a good sign,” Schmid said.

“Guys trying to get used to each

other in a little bit new positions.

The game is always a little bit different than it is in practice. I was happy with some of the chances we created. Our timing was a little bit off, but we haven’t been working that much on attacking. We’ve been working more on our fitness and our defending.”

Vancouver outscored Seattle 2-1 in the second half, when reserves took over. The Sounders’ second unit was made up of goalkeeper Tyler Miller; defenders Oniel Fisher, Scott, Lowe and Dylan Remick; midfielders Cristian Roldan, Michael Farfan and Nathan Sturgis; and forwards Ben Speas, Darwin Jones and Aaron

Broncos send Murphy home after run-in with authorities

sentiments to some Panthers, emphasizing just how good the opposite feelings are.

“You are on top of the world, on top of your profession,” said the former receiver who played for six teams in a 17-year career, the first nine of which he didn’t reach the postseason.

“You start out with a common goal and you’re going with guys to attain a dream, and then you are hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Everyone in this league should be able to feel that feeling with their teammates.”

But only four players who will suit up Sunday have had that joy, only one current Bronco: Peyton Manning with the Colts.

Carolina’s Michael Oher and Ed Dickson earned rings with Baltimore, Roman Harper with New Orleans.

And the guys who have fallen short, including Manning, have used that letdown as motivation.

“We got beat by a hot team and a better team that night,” he said of the 43-8 whipping Seattle put on Denver two years ago. “It was disappointing. It was a tough pill to swallow.”

It’s a pill still stuck in the craw of Super Bowl losers. And it doesn’t matter if the result was lopsided or down to the wire.

Antonio Smith, a 12-year veteran, has reached his second title game. He was with Arizona when it lost to Pittsburgh in the final minute in 2009.

The defensive end, in his first season with Denver, has a memento from that season that reminds him why he strives each day to go one step beyond.

“Every time I look at the NFC championship ring, that’s what I think: I left that field a loser,” Smith said Wednesday morning just before learning his father had passed away after recently undergoing heart surgery. “So I have been focusing in on what I need to do here for me to walk off with a better result.

“I love this game of football, I love putting it on the line every week. But in the end, you’re doing it to have the opportunity to be called champion.”

Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders joined the Steelers two years after that thrilling victory.

Against Green Bay in 2011, he felt the sting of defeat as a rookie.

Five seasons later, as Sanders has developed into a top receiver, he still shudders when thinking about coming up short.

“I’ve been here and I have a loss,” said Sanders, who has become one of Manning’s go-to guys. “I can’t suffer that again.”

Suffer?

“Yeah, man,” Sanders added, the smile disappearing from his face. “Does it ever hurt.”

And there’s no way of ever easing the hurt unless you return to the Super Bowl and pull off the victory.

Asked how he thought the Buffalo Bills of the 1990s must have felt when they fell four straight times in the Super Bowl, Sanders simply shook his head.

Proehl sees little to no difference in working the sideline or being in the coaches’ box as opposed to performing on the field in the championship game.

Coaches go through the same kind of preparation and routine as the players. They carry a similar burden, and experience the same kind of exhilaration or dejection.

“You know, it takes a special group, and not just guys with talent,” he said. “It takes a selflessness. Every Super Bowl team I have been a part of has had that.

“You want it for them.”

Kovar.

The Whitecaps quickly broke through against that group, as Lowe was called for a foul in the penalty area, and Darren Mattocks converted the penalty kick.

Darwin Jones equalized in the 77th minute, assisted by Kovar.

“I was playing off the defender’s back shoulder,” Darwin Jones said. “I knew we were on the counter. Me and Kovar made eye contact, and he slid me through.”

However, Mattocks struck again in the 89th minute, taking advantage of a missed clearance by Lowe.

“We made two bad mistakes for goals,” Schmid said. “We can’t make those kinds of mistakes.”

Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler listens carefully as his coach Tom Flores discusses the situation in the last minutes of a game against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 10, 1979, in Oakland, Calif. Stabler, the late NFL MVP and Super Bowl winner who is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has been diagnosed with the brain disease CTE, Boston University researchers say.

Former NFL quarterback Stabler had brain disease CTE

By Jimmy Golen Associated Press

BOSTON — Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, the late NFL MVP and Super Bowl winner who is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has been diagnosed with the brain disease CTE, Boston University researchers said Wednesday.

Stabler, who died of colon cancer at 69 in July, had Stage 3 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Dr. Ann McKee told The Associated Press. McKee said the disease was widespread throughout his brain, with “quite severe” damage to the regions involving learning, memory and regulation of emotion.

“We’ve now found CTE in former NFL players who played every position except kicker,” said McKee, a professor of neurology at Boston University.

“While we know on average that certain positions experience more repetitive head impacts and are more likely at greater risk for CTE, no position

throughout the year it kind of builds on that and we get to see it for ourselves,” King said. “It’s tough against them always so we just have to pull through.”

The victory means the U.S. Division-leading Tips (30-16-22, 64 points) remain five points ahead of Seattle (28-19-3-0, 59 points) in the standings. The Thunderbirds defeated Kamloops 3-1 Wednesday to keep pace with their rivals to the north.

Wednesday’s victory was also just Everett’s second in its last six games and was the first time the Tips had scored more than two goals in their last eight contests.

“We’ll take it — right now a win is a win for us,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said.

“We haven’t won much lately, and most of my career, when I’ve seen teams lose you don’t generally come out of losing streaks with a 5-0 blowout. That’s not how it happens. You generally

is immune.”

The diagnosis was first reported by The New York Times.

The disease, which can be diagnosed only after death, is linked to repeated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia.

CTE has been found in the brains of dozens of former football players.

According to Chris Nowinski, the founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, Stabler told his family he wanted to have his brain studied after learning that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau had been diagnosed with the disease. In 2012, Seau shot himself in the chest at the age of 43.

“What is interesting about Ken Stabler is that he anticipated his diagnosis years in advance,” Nowinski wrote in an email to the AP. “And even though he’s a football icon, he began actively distancing himself from (the) game in his final years, expressing hope that his grandsons would choose not to

kind of scratch your way out of the pit. This is the type of win that is normal when you’ve been losing a little bit. You find a way.”

The Silvertips were shorthanded Wednesday with forwards Brandon Ralph (hand), Riley Sutter (leg) and leading scorer Remi Laurencelle (suspension) all out of action. Everett also lost Carson Stadnyk to an undisclosed upper body injury in the second period.

Everett’s first two goals came on power plays while the Tips held Portland scoreless in its one chance on the man advantage.

“Our power play has not been as good lately, so it was nice to see the power play get a couple of goals,” Constantine said.

“That’s an important part of your offense that hasn’t been going and tonight we managed to get some goals on the power play.”

A rare misplay by Everett goaltender Carter Hart led to Portland’s first goal.

Hart secured the puck behind the net and inadvertently played it to Rihards Bukarts at the right circle. Bukarts wristed a shot into

play.”

McKee said the extent of the damage to Stabler’s brain was surprising because he was relatively young when he died and because he was a quarterback and thought to be less exposed to repeated head trauma.

“There was no evidence of any other brain disorder to explain the difficulties he experienced during life,” McKee said.

The left-handed Stabler, nicknamed “Snake” for his ability to escape from defenders, led Alabama to an undefeated season in 1966.

A second-round draft pick

by Oakland, he was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1974 and led the Raiders to victory in the 1977 Super Bowl.

In all, Stabler threw for 27,938 career yards and had a .661 winning percentage over 15 seasons, which also included stints with the Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints.

He was selected as a finalist for the Hall of Fame by its Seniors Committee; the inductees will be announced Saturday.

the net as Hart unsuccessfully tried to scramble back into position, giving the Winterhawks a 1-0 lead at 5:05 in the first period.

Leedahl tied it when he curled behind the net and skated all the way out to the left circle before firing a wrister that snuck through Portland goaltender Adin Hill at 6:05 in the second period during Everett’s first power play.

Dewar then went top shelf from the left side of the crease off a rebound for a 2-1 advantage at 17:17 on Everett’s third power play.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Dominic Turgeon snuck the puck under Hart’s right pad to make it 2-2 at 18:37 in the second.

King added the final goal as the Tips held on during the final moments to close out the Winterhawks.

“When you get in those lulls you’re normally trying to push through some things and it’s tough on you,” King said. “Eventually you’ll get that final push and start getting some wins out of it again.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Broncos coach Gary Kubiak says he’s disappointed he had to send home one of his practice squad players who was caught up in a prostitution sting a few miles from the team hotel.

The Broncos sent safety Ryan Murphy home after he was questioned by authorities during a sting in San Jose on Tuesday.

Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Sgt. James Jensen said Murphy, 23, was detained and questioned Tuesday and released after investigators determined he was not involved in any criminal activities.

The Broncos sent him back to Denver anyway because they said it would be best for the team to prepare for Super Bowl 50 without him.

“Yeah, there’s disappointment, but it’s been dealt with and we’ve moved on,” Kubiak said Wednesday. “I dealt with it yesterday and obviously disappointed for the young man, but we’re focused on what we have to do football wise, we’re on work this morning with our meetings and getting into our routine. So we’ve moved on.”

Murphy is a 6-foot, 214-pound rookie who was a seventh-round pick by Seattle out of Oregon State last spring. Released by the Seahawks at the end of training camp, he joined the Broncos’ practice squad in November.

Hawks’ Wilson to give speech MADISON, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin says Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will return to Madison this spring to give the school’s commencement address.

Wilson spent his final college season at Wisconsin after starring for three seasons at North Carolina State.

The university said Wednesday that Wilson will speak to graduates at Camp Randall Stadium on May 14.

Wilson guided the Badgers to the Rose Bowl during his time in Madison. He led the Seahawks to two consecutive Super Bowls, including Seattle’s first Super Bowl win to cap the 2013 season.

UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank cites Wilson’s feats on the football field as well as his charitable work off the field.

Hart finished with 22 saves and his league-leading 29th win of the season. Both teams recorded 24 shots.

The Tips return to action at 7:35 p.m. Friday when they play host to Kamloops.

Notes Laurencelle’s suspension was set at three games for his hit on Seattle defenseman Jerret Smith in last Saturday’s game. Wednesday was the second game missed for Laurencelle, who will return Saturday when the Tips return to Kent to take on the T-Birds.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bellevue quarterback Justus Rogers was one of 25 players who signed with WSU on Wednesday.

WSU bolsters offensive line, inks star Bellevue QB Rogers Associated Press Washington State University football coach Mike Leach bolstered his offensive line and defensive secondary on national signing day Wednesday The Cougars signed six offensive linemen, key to making Leach’s Air Raid offense soar, and five defensive backs among 25 new players.

Nearly all the recruits were rated as three-star prospects by the various scouting agencies.

With record-setting quarterback Luke Falk heading into his junior year, the Cougars did not sign a highly touted quarterback for the future. Instead, they signed Justus Rogers of Bellevue High School in Washington as an athlete. Rogers played

quarterback at Bellevue High, winning two state titles, and likely will get a chance to play quarterback.

Leach signed 15 players from California, four from Washington, and one each from Utah, Hawaii, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma and American Samoa.

Other things to know: Top 25 Class: No. Best in class: Receiver Isaiah Johnson of Belle Glade, Florida, was rated a four-star prospect

by ESPN.com, and among the top 20 receivers in the state. The 6-foot-3, 211-pound product of Dwyer High School caught 44 passes for 912 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior.

Best of the rest: Running back Romello Harris rushed for 1,943 yards and 25 touchdowns in just nine games as a senior, and is rated the No. 57 running

back prospect in the nation.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder totaled 7,311 rushing yards in his prep career at Tulare Union High in California.

Late addition: Linebacker Suli Tamaivena of Kirkland.

His father, Levi, was a national rugby star in Fiji.

One that got away: Athlete Tayler Hawkins of Palm Springs, California, who chose San Diego State.

How they’ll fit in: Washington State has plenty of returning veterans from a ninewin season that was the best in more than a decade. The new players should have time to learn the system and earn playing time without being rushed into the breach. With three quarterbacks on the roster, the Cougars apparently did not feel the need to sign a top passer.

Pac-12 rankings Pac-12 recruiting classes ranked according to Scout.com national ranking: 1. UCLA — Another star-studded recruiting class for the Bruins, who need to start turning these high ratings into more victories. Among their 30 signees is 5-star linebacker Mique Juarez, who is rated as the top player at his position in the country.

2. USC — Despite a year of turmoil and a coaching change, the Trojans signed more 5-star prospects — four of ‘em — than any team in the country.

3. Stanford — Apparently winning the Pac-12 title regularly makes it easier to find talented smart dudes. The Cardinal signed 11 4-star prospects, three of whom rank among Scout. com’s top 100 players in the class.

4. Oregon — Eight 4-star recruits for the Ducks, including four who rank among Scout.com’s top 300 players in the class.

5. Washington — This isn’t a bad mark for the Huskies, considering they signed only 18 players in this year’s class — going purely by average star-rating, the Huskies come in 16th in the country.

6. Arizona State — The Sun Devils loaded up on junior-college talent, signing seven such players in this class.

7. California — The Bears only signed one 4-star prospect — Paraclete High School athlete Melquise Stovall.

8. Utah — Garett Bolles, Scout. com’s top-rated junior college player and a 5-star recruit, signed to play for the Utes.

9. Arizona — Not a particularly impressive class on paper, though the Wildcats did sign one of UW’s top offensive line targets — Michael Eletise, a 4-star prospect from Hawaii.

10. Washington State — The Cougars were able to breathe easier this year and avoided the last-second flip-flopping that defined last year’s signing day.

11. Oregon State — Perhaps a pair of 4-star recruits — safeties Christian Wallace and Shurod Thompson — can help jump-start the dormant Beavers.

12. Colorado — Class is highlighted by 4-star running back Beau Bisharat, who was once committed to Stanford but chose the Buffaloes on signing day.

Lake Stevens WR Krenz to walk on at WSU

By David Krueger Herald Writer

Riley Krenz grew up cheering for Washington State.

Now the Lake Stevens wide receiver is joining the Cougars — going from one incredibly successful passing offense to another.

Krenz committed Monday to walk on at Washington State, where the senior said he will get a chance to contribute right away.

“Wazzu has always just been my dream school,” Krenz said.

“I grew up going to Cougar games. With (head coach Mike Leach) and the offense and how successful they’ve been it seemed like a no-brainer to me.”

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Krenz had a strong senior campaign with 68 receptions for 1,146 yards and 15 touchdowns from University of Georgia commit Jacob Eason. Krenz said he will compete at slot receiver for Washington State, which features an Air Raid offense similar to the scheme run by Lake Stevens head coach Tom Tri. “It’s a lot like Lake Stevens, when you think about it,” Krenz said. “Obviously, we had a bit more of a run game, but it was the same idea: spread it wide with four receivers and chuck the ball around. WSU seemed really like home. I know what they like to do and how they like to chuck the ball. For any receiver, it’s kind of a jaw

dropper on how much they throw and it really gets you excited.

“I’m really familiar with all the routes and what they do in the slot at Wazzu is really similar to what we do at Lake Stevens.”

Tri envisions Krenz getting to Washington State and picking up right where he left off at Lake Stevens.

“I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for him,” Tri said.

“They’re going to throw the ball 40-50 times per game. He’s got the size. He can play in the slot at 190 pounds. I think he’ll be plenty big enough and physical enough. He’s savvy, smart and a hard worker. I see no reason why he won’t continue to have success.”

Huskies From Page C1

there are “some relentless people that don’t let up and it can be very hard on these kids and their families. I think there were some kids that had choices that might have been easier for them to make, but not necessarily better. And at the end of the day, they made the right choice in terms of what was in their heart. But it wasn’t the easy choice.”

The 5-foot-11 Murphy, who also wants to play basketball at Washington, is an exceptional athlete who also played wide receiver in high school.

“On tape,” Petersen said, “he’s a guy who has as good of ball skills as I’ve seen. … This guy can catch the ball and he can track the ball. He’s really exciting. He’s going to do some special things.”

Petersen got a smile when asked why Onwuzurike would

leave the Dallas area to attend school in Seattle.

“I can’t wait to get him here and really ask him that,” Petersen said with a chuckle.

“But I think he felt a connection here. … There were so many (other schools) that came after him. So what were the things that really triggered for him to say ‘Hey, that’s where I feel most comfortable.’ I don’t really know all those answers right now, but I can tell you how excited we are because this guy can play.”

Petersen also lit up when talking about 6-1 cornerback Kentrell Love from Corona, Calif. “When you watch his tape you think ‘OK, he’s kind of long and lean and a (good coverage) guy.’ But he hits like a linebacker. He’s very, very aggressive.” Likewise linebacker Camilo Eifler from Oakland, Calif., who is “really, really explosive.” And linebacker Brandon Wellington from Kent and Eastside Catholic High School, who “is phenomenal.”

Defensive lineman Myles Rice from Houston committed to Washington a year ago, but delayed his enrollment until this year. He is already in school and will take part in spring practices, as will two other players who signed on Wednesday but had previously enrolled — quarterback Daniel Bridge-Gadd from Phoenix and safety Taylor Rapp from Bellingham’s Sehome High School.

The Huskies were apparently in the running for some elite 11th-hour additions to their class, but came up short.

Tight end Devin Asiasi and defensive lineman Boss Tagaloa, teammates at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., opted for Michigan and UCLA, respectively. Wide receiver N’Keal Harry from Chandler, Ariz., maintained his commitment to Arizona State, and junior-college defensive lineman Jonathan Kongbo from Vancouver, B.C., reaffirmed an earlier commitment to Tennessee.

THE

BERRY BEST Three great bushes to plant in Snohomish County gardens

By Steve Smith Special to The Herald

The Pacific Northwest has an ideal climate to grow all sorts of berries, from strawberries and blueberries to blackberries and raspberries. In 2016, gardeners once again have several new flavors to choose from. Here are my picks for this year.

Perpetua blueberry: From Fall Creek Farm & Nursery in Oregon — which brought us Raspberry Shortcake dwarf raspberry, Peach Sorbet, Jelly Bean, Blueberry Glaze and Pink Icing dwarf blueberries.

Perpetua blueberry, their latest creation, is a true double-cropping blueberry. Gardeners will enjoy a tasty harvest of berries in mid-summer and then a second crop in the fall. The plant is compact with dark green glossy leaves that turn deep red in the fall and canes that are bright red and yellow in the winter. Perpetua is both an attractive landscape plant and a wonderful addition to edible gardens. No longer are we limited to eating fresh blueberries only in July and August.

Pink Popcorn blueberry: Introduced by Briggs Nursery in Elma, Pink Popcorn is somewhat of a novelty blueberry. The skin is pink but the flavor and aroma are typical of blueberries. Pink Popcorn is an improvement over Pink Lemonade (introduced a few years back) in that it is a more compact plant with a tidier growth habit. Try to visualize a fruit bowl of pink and blue blueberries along with some honeydew melon on a warm summer day and I think you would agree, this variety is a must for gardeners. Martha Stewart would surely approve.

Loch Ness blackberry: Admittedly, blackberries can be a hard sell in the Northwest where they are growing wild all over the place. This variety out of Scotland will change your mind instantly. Try to imagine a blackberry with short stalky canes that don’t ramble all over the garden and are thornless. Yes, I said thornless and easy to manage. Loch Ness is a well behaved blackberry that will produce a delicious crop of large black berries over several weeks, if not months. You will be able to harvest enough berries every few days to put on your Wheaties for most of the summer. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

All of the above varieties are easy to grow in our Northwest climate, where they enjoy the same conditions as rhododendrons. Rich organic soil, good drainage, acid fertilizer and adequate summer water is all it takes to make them happy. Now is the perfect time to plant them, too, and you should be able to find them in the garden center alongside their strawberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries, grapes and other small fruits. Remember, fruit producing shrubs or even vines like grapes and kiwis don’t have to be relegated to the edible garden part of the yard. These new varieties have attractive qualities that lend themselves well to incorporation into the ornamental part of our landscapes.

Steve Smith is owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville and can be reached online at info@ sunnysidenursery.net.

FALL CREEK FARM & NURSERY

Perpetua blueberry is a new variety of blueberry that offers two crops, one in mid-summer and one in the fall.

Berry classes For a more in-depth discussion on how to grow berries, including pruning, insect and disease control and varietal choices (there are lots of other varieties in addition to those mentioned in this article), Sunnyside Nursery offers a “Bountiful Berries” class at 10 a.m. Feb. 6 at the nursery.

Apocryphal story gave rise to Teddy bears

T

This 22-inch-tall red Teddy bear was sold at a Theriault auction for $448 in 2014. The vintage bear has small electric bulbs for eyes that no longer work.

eddy bears have been popular toys since the first one was created in 1902, but the story about Teddy Roosevelt and the bear cub is now revealed to be a myth.

In November 1902, President Teddy Roosevelt went hunting for bears in Mississippi.

The others in his hunting party shot some bears, but he had not seen one. So the hunters found an old, sick bear and tied it to a tree for the president to shoot.

He declared it was “unsportsman-like” and did not shoot.

The story got to the press and a cartoon showed Roosevelt refusing to shoot the old bear. Later cartoons made the bear smaller and cuter. That same year, a candy-shop owner put two of his wife’s handmade bears in the window and

was given permission by the president to call them “Teddy’s bears.”

In 1903, the Steiff Company of Germany made some toy bears and soon heard about the American Teddy bear, so they sold theirs with that appealing name. Over the years, the bears have changed to a younger look, with short arms and turned-up noses. But the name remains.

Today, a collector can find a vintage Teddy with glass or plastic eyes, and brown, white, tan or even red fur of mohair or polyester. Some are small and hold a perfume bottle, some have eyes that light up and some are more than five feet tall.

A lucky bidder bought a 1930s red mohair “electric eye” Teddy bear for $448, even though it

was worn and the eyes didn’t work.

Q: I have a tea set marked “Colclough, Bone China, Made in England.” The name of the pattern, “Amanda,” is also marked on the bottom of the pieces. The set includes six teacups, saucers, small tea plates and bowls and four larger tea plates. Can you give me any information about this?

A: Herbert Joseph Colclough started a pottery under his name in Longton, Staffordshire, in 1897. It became Colclough China, Ltd., in 1937.

The company made affordable bone-china tea sets and dinnerware that could be bought by the piece. The company became Booths & Colclough, Ltd., in 1948. It merged with Ridgeway in 1955 and Colclough and

Ridgeway became part of the Royal Doulton Group in the early 1970s. Colclough production was discontinued in 1996.

A cup and saucer sells for about $10-$20.

Q: I’m trying to find out the value of a Grain Belt beer sign.

It’s metal with porcelain paint and is 5 feet wide and 22 inches tall. There’s a picture of a bottle cap with the words “Grain Belt” on a diamond on top of the bottle cap and the words “The Friendly beer” next to the cap. I think it’s from the early 1940s.

A: Grain Belt beer was first made by the Minneapolis Brewing Co. in 1893. It was advertised as “The Friendly Beer with the Friendly Flavor” after Prohibition ended in 1933.

What needs doing in the garden this month

R

emember how I said that January was a slow month in the garden? It’s sort of like idling — the engine is running but we aren’t really going anywhere. Well, February is when we move out of neutral and shift into first gear. There is a whole lot going on this month so let’s get to it.

Prune, prune, prune: I just spent the better part of last week at my church pruning back the hydrangeas, summer-blooming heather and the dormant ornamental grasses, all of which appreciate a hard pruning this time of year.

I also gave a light trim to the hedges, just to tidy them up before they start growing again. Anything that blooms in the summer (rather than the spring) can be pruned back severely now. This includes such shrubs as roses, hardy hibiscus, butterfly bushes and smoke trees, to name just a few. The same is true for any perennials that weren’t cut back in the fall. There is so much that can be pruned now that perhaps the month should be renamed “Prunuary”.

If you are not sure what

Natural Yard Care Classes: King County is partnering with the Snohomish Conservation District to offer

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER to prune or not to prune, come in to the nursery and we will straighten you out.

Perennials: Those that didn’t frost to the ground should be cleaned up this month. Like I mention above, ornamental grasses are a classic example. In my beds I am cutting back red hot pokers, day lilies, yellow wax bells, toad lilies and acanthus for starters.

Evergreen perennials like hellebores and epimedium that bloom in the winter need to have their old foliage removed now to make room for the flowers. Be careful not to cut off the flowers when you do this or it will be 12 long months before you will see them again — and you may be sleeping in the doghouse the whole time.

Plant: Believe it or not there is quite a lot of

a series of classes this winter, all about creating a healthy, sustainable landscape. The classes are hands-on workshops for people who are new to the concepts of natural yard-care practices. Classes are free.

What: Dracaena Marginata, commonly called the Dragon Plant, is an excellent choice for an indoor plant, as it is easy to grow and adds vertical interest to the room. This dracaena works well as a single plant behind a piece of furniture, or as part of a grouping of potted plants of varying sizes. The shiny green leaves are stiff and pointed and have striking red margins. It is sensitive to fluoride so distilled or purified water is recommended. Dracaena is one of the plants used in the NASA Clean Air Study that assist in the removal of formaldehyde from indoor air.

Sun/shade: Needs bright light for best coloration Size: A slow grower, it will reach approximately 15’ in height in a large container.

What to do before installing a floating floor Practical, esthetic and economical, floating floors are an extremely popular option with many homeowners.

You’d like to use this type of flooring in your home?

Read on.

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

Quality counts When buying a floating floor, choose a good quality product, especially if you want to put it in a busy area such as a hallway. Damage to a single board could require you to completely remove your floor in order to install just one new plank.

Unpack and wait Once you have purchased your flooring, place the boards in the room where they are to be installed. Open the packaging and wait at least three days. The reason?

The wood will have time to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the room, making it easier to install.

That said, floating floors are not recommended for high humidity areas such as basements.

Flooring

Hardware

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

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

Grow your own mint — even in winter

By Barbara Damrosch Special to The Washington Post

I had a craving for fresh mint. I wanted to toss it with sliced oranges, knead it into meatballs and steep it for tea, even though January is not mint’s time. The supermarket had it in little plastic packages, skimpy and half-dead. So I set out in search of a local nursery with mint plants. All I found were spindly stems, almost bare of leaves.

Finally I found a woman, potting up houseplants in a large greenhouse, who offered to rent me one of her mother plants for a few days. I would not have been more surprised if she’d rented me her mother.

A mother plant, less cozily called a stock plant, is one used in the trade for propagation. Large, robust and cosseted, it exists to have parts of it removed and rooted in a potting medium so that they will form lots of new plants. Sometimes these parts are offsets, like the arachnoid clusters at the tips of a spider plant’s long stems. More often they are cuttings, either whole leaves, parts of leaves or, as in the case of this mint plant, sprigs. In all cases they are clones that will be exactly like their parent.

“It’s OK to keep it till Monday,” my new friend assured me. “We won’t be propagating mint until mid-March.” So I took my rent-a-Mom home, played with it in the kitchen and decided to do a little propagation of my own, just to keep fresh mint in my life.

If you have a craving for fresh mint in winter but no stock plant to borrow, you can buy stems in the herb section of the supermarket and use them as cuttings.

Indeed, if you’ve ever brought some mint stems indoors to make mojitos and stuck the extras in a glass of water on the windowsill, you’ve noticed that they start to make roots in the glass before a week has passed. Before long those roots are a white tangle in need of nourishment and it’s time to pot them up in soil if you want to keep them going. I could do that, I figured, and even if the new plant didn’t like my slightly overheated home, I could keep taking cuttings from it and run a propagation relay, with several pots going at once, until spring.

There’s something supercharged about mint roots. Outdoors, that trait can make them a pest, as underground runners quickly colonize a garden.

We grow mint in a moist ditch that drains one of our fields, but it can also be grown in a pot submerged in the soil, to restrain it. For my indoor mint, I’ll find a cool window where it won’t be baked by winter’s low-angle sun.

But now’s the time when light-filled days are starting to return — even if the temperature is still low. The houseplants will take the cue and perk up.

Let’s celebrate that by mixing up a mojito — my secret recipe. Instead of muddling the mint with simple syrup, let’s use a complex one, boiled down from maple sap, rich in minerals like manganese and zinc. Add rum, club soda and fresh-squeezed lime, and lift a glass to Mother Nature, of whom we are all just one tiny piece.

Q: While in Europe in about 1975, we bought 24 lead plates. We used the plates for 10 years. What is your opinion of our exposure to lead?

A: Are you sure your dishes are made of lead?

Lead dishes would be heavy. The dishes probably are pewter, which is safe to use. If the dishes

are pottery with a lead glaze, there is some risk.

Lead can leach out of the glaze if acidic foods are cooked, served, or stored in the dish. Brightly-colored glazes used on some handmade pottery from South America and Asia are more likely to contain lead. In 1971 the Food and Drug Administration set limits on the amount of lead in dishes. Rules were updated in 1993.

Dishes that contain lead have to be labeled “Not for food use.” If you still have the dishes, you can test them. Lead-testing kits are available online and at some hardware stores. A blood test can

Managing child’s grief over dead cat

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: A few days ago, one of our cats was struck and killed by a car. She is now buried in the garden beside two other cats who were old and sick and had to be euthanized.

One of our children, 6, is taking this very hard (he was here when the other two died). Yesterday, he wrote each departed cat a note and added a request that they write back, and he left the notes where they were buried. This morning, he was thrilled to find the notes gone and is convinced, and deeply hopeful, the cats will write back.

So my question is about how bad it might be, or what long-term harm it might cause, if the cats “write” back. No response might help teach about accepting the reality of death, or it could crush him. On one hand, if there were a note saying they miss him and such and that this is the one note they get to write before they have to move on, it would make him so happy (I certainly would not go for a long-term correspondence with the dead cats). On the other hand, this level of deception seems worse than Santa.

My wife and I are atheists, and although we don’t preach atheism to our children, we wouldn’t

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT want such a note to become the fraudulent basis of religious faith.

Especially, we worry about the emotional harm it might cause if he learns the truth of the note before he is old enough to understand why we did it. Any thoughts?

— Letters From Beyond?

I wouldn’t write back “from the cats.” Not that I think some terrible process would be set in motion if you did, but instead I think the best ways to cope arise from what is around us naturally, because those can be replicated when we need to cope again in the future.

Stepping in here would just postpone your son’s chance to learn to manage his grief.

Again — I don’t see that as having terrible long-range consequences. However, in my experience, raising kids presents

parents with almost daily opportunities to take a shortcut that postpones the harder stuff till later, which we opt for at our peril. So, whenever there’s an easy way to avoid taking a shortcut, avoid the shortcut.

In this case, “easy” isn’t so easy emotionally, but it is straightforward and, more important, accessible to a 6-year-old: Just say that people and animals that have died don’t speak or write like living people do. Instead they speak to us through our hearts and imaginations. That’s why people leave flowers and notes and gifts at graves, as he did for the cats — survivors say their part in a living person’s way. Then they get their answers through memories and good feelings and love.

To keep him occupied, you can then steer him toward making a marker for the graves. Having something tangible to do is always helpful for kids too young to understand what they’re feeling, much less articulate it. In time his attention will turn elsewhere — that’s the gift of the young — so really you just need to keep him moving forward during these upcoming days.

Visits to mother-in-law feel like stepping into fight ring Dear Abby: I am dreading an upcoming trip that includes a visit to my husband’s mother, “Harriet.”

She is prone to “accidents” when I visit, and I always end up getting hurt. Harriet’s “oops” moments usually involve my toes and feet, although the last time I was there she managed to strike my face.

I have taken the precaution of looking up the phone number of the police department in her city, just in case she hits me again. Is there a way to keep her at arm’s length so she can’t get close enough to punch me? In the 20-plus years I have known Harriet, she has always been a bully. She strikes out at me because I stood up to her. — Apprehensive In Louisiana Dear Apprehensive: Because this has gone on for 20 years, I’m inclined to agree with your suspicion that these “mishaps” haven’t been accidental.

An effective way to prevent further injury would be to avoid being in the same town with Harriet. She sounds like a handful.

Dear Abby: A 30-yearold relative of mine has developed a “germ phobia.”

She constantly applies hand sanitizer and avoids anyone who exhibits any kind of symptoms. She refused to visit me when I was in the hospital because she thought she might catch something. She was not always like this.

I love her dearly and have no idea what has caused the problem. Is there anything I can do to get her to give up some of the precautions she’s taking — or does she need professional help?

what has caused her health concerns, I recommend you ASK her. Hand sanitizers are popular because they claim to kill 99 percent of germs and decrease bacteria on the skin. Every time someone opens the door to a public building or presses an elevator button it’s as though that person has shaken hands with everyone who has been there before, so using hand sanitizer seems like good sense to me.

As to your relative not visiting you while you were hospitalized, the reason doctors are reducing the length of hospital stays and are performing so many outpatient procedures is to minimize the germs that patients are exposed to in the hospital.

Dear Abby: I just think that as a child, I have too many responsibilities to take care of. My mother thinks I am stubborn and not able to take care of myself. What do you think?

— Helena, Age 9 Dear Helena: I think you have a good mother.

The way to teach children responsibility is to place some on their shoulders.

If you learn the lessons of independence your mother is trying to teach you, with time these chores will become easier and less overwhelming. And you will thank her for them later when you’re older.

Here’s a strange blessing for our times: May you live long enough to see a sensationally overblown news event that you can still vividly recall turned into a very good and even powerfully thoughtful TV miniseries a couple decades later.

For, as creator Ryan Murphy and his collaborators on FX’s masterful “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” are quick to remind us old fogies, many viewers will be coming to this material fresh.

“American Crime Story” began Tuesday from a square-one approach, assuming that anyone under 30 is only vaguely aware that, once upon a time in the dial-up modem days, a retired professional football star was arrested and charged with murdering his ex-wife and a restaurant employee with whom she was casually acquainted. The show continues at 10 p.m. Tuesdays on FX. It happened in June 1994, and by the time of O.J. Simpson’s acquittal 16 months later (oops, spoiler alert), American culture had unwittingly but necessarily entered a new kind of conversation about race, justice and media — a conversation that remains an important precursor to the BlackLivesMatter era.

It’s easy for some of us to regard the Simpson saga as a spent narrative, picked apart and talked to death, but “American Crime Story” makes an effective, convincing case that now is a perfect time to turn the story into a piece of topical art. “The People v. O.J. Simpson” isn’t flawless, and it probably won’t stand up to the sort of factual scrutiny that still swirls around its subject matter, but it is ambitiously imagined, surprisingly responsible and practically unerring in tone and pace.

There are stumbles, sure — first and foremost the decision to cast Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson.

Gooding is a talented actor who nevertheless lacks both the physical and symbolic heft and presence of the fallen hero. Gooding, who typically plays an entirely different and louder sort of “big,” has to tamp down his usual energy in order to play a sullen and helplessly egocentric man known to friends as “Juice.” Six episodes in, the viewer will probably have accepted all of the other actors as their real-life counterparts — except Gooding.

But perhaps that’s not as crucial as it seems, since “The People v. O.J. Simpson” treats its star defendant (as well as the status of his guilt or innocence) as a secondary concern. From its first few scenes (a primer on the post-Rodney King mood of Los Angeles; the early-morning howls of the worried Akita; the bloody bodies crumpled on the Brentwood walkway), the series announces itself as more than just a melodramatic exercise in stunt-casting and campy revision — which would be easy to expect, given Murphy’s imprimatur.

Although “The People v.

O.J. Simpson” has 10 episodes with which to allow the saga some sprawl, it’s clear that theme and arc are perhaps more important than making sure every twist and turn in the story of record are covered.

At the same time, quite a number of the case’s key elements are touched upon, inside and outside the courtroom. (The source material is journalist and author Jeffrey Toobin’s 1996 book, “The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson”; Toobin also serves as a consultant to the show.)

The series steadily ruminates on the subject of fame itself, as Simpson’s B-list celebrity status subsumes his acquaintances, defense attorneys, the prosecutors, the family members of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the witnesses, the reporters, the jury members and court personnel.

who wisely senses that some early mistakes by L.A. police and prosecutors have opened a window into the flammable subject of race. Is it possible, Shapiro wonders, to portray his client, who has for all appearances assiduously avoided identifying with African-Americans, as a victim of discrimination?

Enter the late legendary defense attorney Johnnie Cochran (Courtney B. Vance, in a knockout performance), who not only takes that bet but wrests control of the case from Shapiro — and everyone else. In Episode 5, titled (of course) “The Race Card,” the series goes deep on Cochran’s background and style, contrasted with the inner conflict experienced by Christopher Darden (Sterling K. Brown), a prosecutor who must always wonder whether his role in the case is merely symbolic — and if so, symbolic of what?

What comes across is the inexorable, unrestrained chaos that was the Simpson trial. This is particularly true in “The People v. O.J. Simpson’s” and Sarah Paulson’s exquisitely painful take on lead prosecutor Marcia Clark, who, in the trial’s permanent lore, must shoulder not only the burden of proof (the series once again shows us just how much proof should have been there; how open-shut the case first seemed) but also the burden of utter failure.

Sometimes good television about past events can make time travel seem almost possible. If you lived it the first go-around, you’ll probably be amazed at how “The People v.

O.J. Simpson” sucks you right back in, even if you believed yourself immune or permanently numb to its circumstances and outcome. And if this is all new to you (or like the hook in some old pop tune you can’t quite identify), then perhaps you’ll take to the social networks and start the debate all over again, with new insight and perspective. Given the degree to which it left so many of us feeling outraged or misunderstood, this story could use some fresh meaning.

Lance Ito, played by Kenneth Choi, falls prey to the trial’s allure.)

In one episode, Simpson’s friend Robert Kardashian (David Schwimmer), who also serves as one of his many “dream team” attorneys, takes his children to brunch, where they are dazzled by the fact that the hostess recognizes him and offers the family a prime table while other customers wait. Kardashian (who died in 2003) offers his brood (Kim, Khloe — you know) a cautionary word about those who seek fame. It falls on deaf ears. It’s a moment that is almost too delicious in its irony and resonance.

“American Crime Story” is conceived as an anthology series (meaning it will tackle a different tale in future seasons, like Murphy’s bloody thrill rides in “American Horror Story”), but it almost has more in common with the film adaptation Murphy directed for HBO of Larry Kramer’s “The Normal Heart.” This take on O.J., executive-produced and developed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (“The People vs. Larry Flynt), is fully committed to the idea that context is everything.

Boy, is it ever. The real attraction in this story was always the legal maneuverings, which make even more sense with a couple decades of hindsight. John Travolta, whose comebacks tend to occur in 20-year-cycles, has a ball covering his face in even thicker makeup than usual, playing Robert Shapiro, the vainglorious attorney
