The state identified errors that resulted from a lack of proper training, an issue attributed to the loss of accountants in the recession. By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — The city is considering hiring a second accountant after the state Auditor’s Office pointed out several problems with bookkeeping and permitting, Monroe Finance Director Dianne Nelson said. The auditors sent a Dec. 17 letter that summarized issues found during the city’s financial and accountability audits from Jan. 1, 2012, to Dec. 31, 2013. The problems did not result in so-called written findings, the state’s most serious level of concern. Instead, the auditors issued a “management letter,” which creates a public record of the issues. The state found that the city had not properly trained workers in the finance department to ensure they can prepare financial statements, schedules and notes according to state standards. The audit identified errors due to the inadequate training. Nelson said Monroe has trouble satisfying state requirements because she is the only certified public accountant on the city payroll. Before the recession, Monroe had three accountants. Now Nelson oversees five employees in the finance department, but because they are not accountants, they are not qualified to check some of her advanced work. Hiring another accountant would go a long way to fixing the problems the state found, Nelson said. But the city cannot immediately afford to do so. Nelson estimates that a second accountant would cost the city at least $90,000 a year in pay and benefits. The city hopes to hire someone, either full or part time, once it can determine what regular sales tax revenue it can expect with the addition of the new Walmart store. It opened in December on North Kelsey Street. That information should be available in February, when Nelson needs extra help as she prepares annual financial statements due to the state by May. Mayor Geoffrey Thomas said the city is exploring alternatives to hiring another accountant in case it doesn’t have enough money to cover the extra expense.

Record deliveries by Boeing In 2014, it churned out 737s and 787s, allowing it to deliver 723 commercial planes and book 1,432 net orders. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

The Boeing Co. delivered more commercial jetliners in 2014 than in any other year, the Chicago-based company said Tuesday.

In 2014, it delivered 723 commercial airplanes and booked 1,432 net orders, which takes into account orders canceled last year. Not counting the cancellations, Boeing logged 1,550 orders for jetliners.

“In the face of fierce competition, we had a strong year,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner said. The previous record year for deliveries was 2013, with 648 airplanes leaving factories. The previous record year for orders was 2007, when Boeing booked 1,423 gross orders and 1,413 net orders.

Boeing churned out 737s and 787s at record levels in 2014, helping push the company to the delivery record. The new record is important because a customer writes the biggest check to the airplane maker upon delivery. Keeping deliveries high will help Boeing See BOEING, back page, this section

Flooding river claims house Most waters recede, leaving mountains of soggy damage behind

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Laurie Fenner, of Gold Bar, looks out over the section of her property that has been eaten away by the Wallace River. Several structures on Fenner’s property fell into the river during the storm, as did her neighbor’s house, as water levels rose Monday.

By Rikki King and Noah Haglund Herald Writers

GOLD BAR — Their place on the Wallace River was peaceful, but they knew it wasn’t permanent. When they moved into the Gold Bar-area house, Laurie Fenner and Joe Abele were warned that the river was undercutting the bank. They lost most of the house a half-dozen years ago. They stayed on the property in a 37-foot travel trailer. Nobody came to inspect the house, so they still could use what was left: the laundry room and the bathroom. On Monday, that and the remainder of a concrete slab went into the drink. So did the

Upstream, the Snoqualmie River still was flooding Tuesday evening. “That water will push down toward Duvall and into the Snoqualmie Valley, so we’ve basically got another day’s worth of high water, but the immediate danger is done,” said John Pennington, the county’s director of emergency management. The Snohomish could stay high for days, Pennington said. “We’re just going to see water for a while,” he said. “It gets up and it stays up.” More than a dozen area roads remained closed Tuesday because of flooding, including throughout the Tualco Valley. The most serious closure was Sultan Basin Road after Olney Creek washed out approximately 200 feet of asphalt, Pennington said.

Alcohol poisoning kills 6 a day Associated Press NEW YORK — To the surprise of even health officials, it turns out that most deaths from drinking too much involve middle-aged adults — not teens or college kids.

A report Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found six Americans die each day from alcohol poisoning. CDC officials said three-quarters of those deaths are adults ages 35 to 64, and most are men.

from the shortage of accounting talent involved, among other things, the city’s new permitting process. Monroe failed to update fees in the accounting system to reflect the most current ones, the state said. That resulted in over- and undercharging. Nelson said people who were overcharged were given a refund. Monroe elected to

pay for the permits that were undercharged because it was the city’s error, she said. The permitting-fee mistakes cost the city $791.

As he was putting the pieces together, he summoned his colleague Jeff Hester, who retired from ASU in 2009. “‘You need to get here now,’” Scowen told Hester, according to this recounting on HubbleSite, operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. “We laid the pictures out on the table, and we were just gushing because of all the incredible detail.” Hubble turns 25 this year, and Scowen marked the occasion by taking a fresh picture of the Eagle Nebula (also known as M16).

One of the most famous images in astronomy is known as the “Pillars of Creation,” but a new version of it reveals that it could also be called “Pillars of Destruction.” The images depict three towering columns of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, a stellar nursery about 6,500 light-years away from Earth. The shadowy pillars are back-lit by a cluster of young, massive stars — an environment similar to the one that probably gave rise to the sun, astronomers believe.

Inmate’s death a suspected suicide The Monroe man was serving 22 years at Walla Walla for domestic violence murder By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MONROE — The state Department of Corrections and Walla Walla police are investigating the death of an inmate from Monroe as an apparent suicide. Oscar Garcia-Pacheco, 34, was four months into a 22-year sentence for murder when he was found in his cell Monday

morning at the state penitentiary. He was housed alone in the cell. Correctional officers found Garcia-Pacheco, 34, unresponsive around 6:40 a.m. Prison staff attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later. Garcia-Pacheco was sentenced to prison in September after pleading guilty to

first-degree domestic violence murder. In May 2013, Garcia-Pacheco stabbed his wife 19 times on a Monroe sidewalk as she tried to hand him a court document that ordered him to stay away. Jacoba Ramirez-Rodriguez wrote in Snohomish County Superior Court paperwork that her husband had been abusive for years. She described

his escalating anger and past assaultive behavior. In her statement to the court, she explained that the couple was in the process of divorcing. They had dated for about eight years before marrying in 2007. They had lived in Monroe for more than a decade. Ramirez-Rodriguez wrote that her husband sometimes left her with bruises and black eyes. She

didn’t report the abuse earlier because she “always thought he would change.” Garcia-Pacheco had bought a knife set with the intention of killing his wife and then committing suicide. Police found him holding a knife to his own throat. He was shocked with a stun gun before his arrest. Eric Stevick: 425-339-3446; stevick@heraldnet.com.

Post-mudslide, the Mountain Loop store reinvents itself, prepares to reopen By Kari Bray

Seahawks on the big screen in Everett

Herald Writer

VERLOT — A summer with no visitors to Gold Basin Campground, closed since March to assess mudslide risks, crippled the nearby Green Gables General Store. The shop at 32518 Mountain Loop Highway, which sold food, drinks and firewood, closed at the end of September. It wasn’t closed for long. The Mountain Loop Tourism Bureau moved its visitor center from downtown Granite Falls to Green Gables in December. The center opened Jan. 2, but the rest of the store likely won’t be done until April. Bureau President Edith Farrell and Randy Farrell, the group’s secretary and Edith’s husband, aim to renovate the last-chance supply stop. They have a three-year lease. The couple is changing some things at the shop to focus more on family recreation and education, Randy Farrell said. The store won’t sell beer and cigarettes anymore. Videos from the Granite Falls Historical Society play on a screen, and the Farrells plan to host hiking classes. Two Girl Scout troops are signed up for lessons this month. The store will have freshbaked goods, trail snacks, drinks and basic hiking and camping supplies. Eventually, the Farrells hope to have a deli with soups and sandwiches. “We’ll have hot drinks in the winter and treats to get your energy up, and then cold drinks in the summer with more treats, because you’re still going to want those,” Edith Farrell said. Gold Basin Campground remains a wild card. The U.S. Forest Service closed it after the See GABLES, Page A4

Former PTA treasurer charged with theft She reportedly stole $40K from Lynnwood’s Martha Lake Elementary PTA to cover gambling debts. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Snohomish County prosecutors have charged the former treasurer of Martha Lake Elementary School PTA with theft after she allegedly pilfered nearly $40,000 from the nonprofit’s bank account.

In her position, Charlotte Hess, 40, was allowed to write checks to cover expenses for the PTA. The group supports student and staff activities, including after-school clubs and special assemblies. It provides money for classroom supplies and scholarships for fifth-grade outdoor school, according to the group’s website. Volunteers hold fundraisers to pay for the activities and supplies.

ild cheers, high-fives and alternating chants of “Sea-Hawks! SeaHawks!” are all part of the game at CenturyLink Field. In Everett, one venue offers Seahawks fans of all ages the next best thing. “Fans like it, they think the team can hear them,” said Curt Shriner, manager of the Historic Everett Theatre. “They get those ‘Hawks’ chants going and are screaming at the refs, just like at a game.” Since last season’s run-up to the Super Bowl, the restored theater at 2911 Colby Ave. has been showing TV broadcasts of select Seahawks games on its 25-foot movie screen. The theater can’t show all games because the space is used Sundays by Destiny Life Church. Its biggest football crowd was for last year’s Super Bowl, when the free viewing packed the place. Since then, Shriner said fans have come for several nationally broadcast Seahawks games. Saturday’s 5:15 p.m. playoff game against the Carolina Panthers will be a different experience at the theater, where music fans are invited to watch the game. Rather than the usual free Seahawks showing, theater doors will open at 4:15 p.m. Saturday for those with tickets to a concert scheduled for later that evening. Before the Heart by Heart show at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, people coming to see the Heart tribute band may also see the game and a halftime concert preview. Last month’s scheduled Heart by Heart show was canceled. “The lead singer couldn’t sing, so we rescheduled for the 10th. Then the Seahawks schedule came out,” said Shriner, whose brother, Craig Shriner, acquired the Historic Everett Theatre last March. Curt Shriner, of Everett, was an Everett Theatre Society board member before the ownership change. “We were looking for money-making ideas, and I had the idea of showing Seahawks games.” See MUHLSTEIN, Page A4

USS Nimitz departure delayed

Muhlstein He said the NFL doesn’t allow other entities to charge for showing games. Tickets are for the concert. Other venues also make money through concession sales. For Saturday’s game, a $12 meal catered by Everett’s Craving Cajun Grill will be available to those who order one in advance. Dr. Katherine Runyon, a pediatrician at The Everett Clinic, saw the Seahawks trounce the Arizona Cardinals 35-6 on the Historic Everett Theatre’s big screen Dec. 21. It was a first for Runyon and her 27-year-old son, Zak Nelson. Her husband, Carl Nelson, isn’t a football fan, and Runyon has often watched games solo at their Lake Stevens home. “It was really fun,” Runyon said of seeing the Hawks in the 114-year-old theater. “It has the fun of a bar — people screaming and yelling — but not the bar atmosphere, and no smoking.” The crowd at the December game was small, but included Seahawks fans of all ages, she said. “Zak and I would definitely do this again,” said Runyon, who grew up in St. Louis and has memories of going to St. Louis Cardinals games. Shriner said the theater is one of the few all-ages venues for watching games on a big screen. “You can’t take the kids to a bar. People bring their families,” he said. Last Super Bowl Sunday, he said, about 350 people packed the theater. Everett’s Pamela

March 22 Oso mudslide. Risks hidden in the steep slopes and river-worn banks around the campground hadn’t changed, district ranger Peter Forbes said. But after 43 people died in Oso, officials’ understanding of those risks changed. The campground remains closed while the Forest Service studies the terrain. They have not yet found a contractor to finish the research, but hope to have more information by summer. “If there’s a possibility to reopen it, we would do that,” Forbes said. “It’s one of our most popular campgrounds in the forest, and certainly the largest.” Meanwhile, the Farrells are cleaning and repairing around Green Gables. They pay for general maintenance, but hope to win outside money to fully renovate the building. The tourism bureau, including a four-person board of directors and a grant writer, sees the store as a historic landmark that could qualify for restoration grants. Green Gables opened in 1936, while the Mountain Loop Highway was still under construction,

Green Gables is the last stop for supplies on the Mountain Loop Highway in the popular recreational area between Verlot and Barlow Pass.

according to a June 11, 1936, article in the “Snohomish County Forum.” The 30-by40-foot log building had a dining area and tavern with guest rooms upstairs. Perched on an 80-acre property along the Stillaguamish River, Green Gables served lunches, sandwiches and chicken dinners on Sundays, according to the article. Now, the river is fronted by private campsites and mobile homes. The store stands next to the road, bordered by a defunct fuel station and woods. The tourism bureau aims to preserve its history and create a hotspot for outdoor

enthusiasts. “It’s such a landmark, you can’t just not have it open,” Edith Farrell said. The store is about a mile from the edge of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, on the way to attractions such as the old Monte Cristo townsite and Big Four Ice Caves. The Mountain Loop Highway between Verlot and Barlow Pass is the forest’s most-popular stretch for hiking and camping, Forbes said, and Green Gables is the last supply stop. The forest service’s Verlot Public Service Center opens seven days a week in the summer and

on winter weekends, but has information rather than supplies, he said. When the service center is closed, Green Gables could be an important spot for visitors, Edith Farrell said. “It gives outdoor recreationists a place to go where there’s someone who has knowledge and passion for the area,” she said. “And it’s the perfect spot because by the time people get here, they think they’re lost.” People can call the visitor center at 360-691-3770 or got to www.ml-tb.org to learn about the tourism bureau.

Seaman was one of them. “What I liked, it was such a cross section of the community,” she said. Upstairs were big family groups and downstairs were older people. The Super Bowl crowd included men from the Everett Gospel Mission’s shelter, Seaman said. “At the very beginning, when the Broncos came out, it sounded like maybe five or six voices cheering. I was so appreciative that nobody yelled at them,” she said. A group of teenage boys was giving high-fives to the entire row behind them, she recalled. “I was there by myself and just felt completely comfortable. It was one of the best community experiences I’d had,” Seaman said. “If they’re in the Super Bowl again, I’m going to the theater.”

ACROSS THE U.S.

Gunman, 1 other person dead in shooting at clinic EL PASO, Texas — Officials said a gunman opened fire at a veterans medical clinic in West Texas, killing one other person. Fort Bliss Maj. Gen. Stephen M. Twitty said Tuesday night that the shooter is also dead. Twitty did not say whether the gunman was shot by responding officers. He did also not provide any details on the victim of the shooting at the El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System. Douglas Lindquist with the FBI said there are hundreds of potential witnesses, most of whom were seeking medical care. The FBI will be interviewing those witnesses.

House Speaker John Boehner, of Ohio (center front), administers the oath of office to newly elected members of the 114th Congress, as Republicans assume full control Tuesday for the first time in eight years.

GOP takes charge of Congress White House immediately threatens to veto Keystone pipeline bill By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a blend of pageantry and politics, Republicans took complete control of Congress for the first time in eight years Tuesday, then ran straight into a White House veto threat against their top-priority legislation to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Republicans condemned the unexpected announcement, which came at the same time they were savoring the fruits of last fall’s elections and speaking brightly about possible bipartisan compromises in the two years ahead. “I’m really optimistic about what we can accomplish,” said Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, moments after he was recognized as leader of the new Republican majority on one side of the Capitol. At the other end of the majestic building, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio easily won a third term as House speaker despite attempts by tea partybacked dissidents to topple him. He said the 114th Congress would begin by passing legislation to “develop more North American energy” among top priorities, adding “We invite the president to support and sign these bipartisan initiatives into law.” It was an offer the White House could and did refuse — in advance. “If this bill passes Congress, the president wouldn’t sign it,” presidential press secretary Josh Earnest said before Boehner spoke. He said the measure would undermine a review process under way by the administration. The events spilled out rapidly on a day that offered a glimpse of the political forces at work in an era of divided government — the intraparty struggle

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. (left), and Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., share a laugh before a news conference Tuesday on Capitol Hill where they discussed their plan to introduce legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline project.

among House Republicans, the coordination that GOP leaders in both houses showed in pursuing a conservative agenda and the blocking power of a Democratic president. There was well choreographed pageantry as well on a day Republicans installed a 54-46 majority in the Senate and took 246 of the 435 seats in the House, the most in more than 60 years. Vice President Joe Biden presided over swearing-in ceremonies in the Senate, leading new senators and re-elected veterans alike in an age-old oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The House played host to a younger crowd as lawmakers were sworn in for two-year terms — children in their best clothes, babies in their parents’ arms. One powerful player was absent but eager to show he would be back soon. Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, now the minority leader, issued a statement saying his doctors ordered him to stay away from his office

so injuries suffered last week when a piece of exercise equipment broke “can continue to heal.” The statement disclosed for the first time that the 75-year-old lawmaker had suffered a concussion as well as broken facial bones and ribs. Republicans were eager to turn to an agenda tailored to suit conservatives. They have signaled plans to write a budget that eliminates federal deficits in 10 years or less and to pass an overhaul of the tax code as well as try and reduce federal regulations they say are stifling job creation. By day’s end, they also won approval to make sure that smaller businesses that hire veterans don’t trigger a requirement in the health care law requiring coverage for employees. The vote was 412-0. Hoping to smooth their path for future measures, House Republicans passed a rules change permitting congressional scorekeepers to assume that tax cuts increase revenue to the government rather than reduce it. That would make it easier to show a balanced budget

with fewer painful spending cuts. The concept, known as “dynamic scoring,” has been an article of faith among conservatives since the Reagan era three decades ago. Democratic complaints about the change vied with the Republican reaction to the Keystone veto threat. Moments after highlighting the possibility for compromise, Boehner issued a statement saying Obama had sided with the “fringe extremists” in his own party in opposing the proposed pipeline to carry Canadian oil into the United States. Said McConnell: “The president threatening to veto the first bipartisan infrastructure bill of the new Congress must come as a shock to the American people who spoke loudly in November in favor of bipartisan accomplishments.” After he was sworn in as speaker, Boehner said that despite economic improvements, “far too many Americans remain out of work, and too many are working harder only to lose ground to stagnant wages and rising costs.” Boehner had to survive a challenge to his leadership by critics so disorganized they failed to coalesce around a single alternative. The 25 votes cast against him by fellow Republicans was an unusually high number, but they were spread among nine potential replacements. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, the loudest of Boehner’s critics, drew only three votes — one of them his own. Hours later, officials said Boehner had removed two dissidents, Florida Reps. Daniel Webster and Rich Nugent, from coveted slots on the Rules Committee. It was unclear if the change was permanent.

Expect confrontations over energy, health care Associated Press Top items on the agenda of athe new Republican-led Congress include: ■■Energy: The Senate’s first bill would approve construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, designed to pump oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Republicans and some Democrats call the project a job-creator, but President Barack Obama and other Democrats consider it a pathway to worsening global warming. The GOP also plans legislation expediting U.S. natural gas exports. ■■Health care: Republicans want to weaken Obama’s 2010

health care overhaul. Leading off in the House: Legislation making it easier for smaller businesses to avoid providing health coverage to their workers by hiring veterans who already have government coverage. Another bill would exempt companies from covering employees who work less than 40 hours weekly — up from the current 30-hour cutoff. Votes on a full repeal of the law are likely, but a certain veto by Obama awaits if it reaches him. ■■Immigration: A bill financing the Department of Homeland Security lapses in late February. Republicans would extend the

agency’s funding but want language blocking Obama’s executive actions shielding from deportation as many as 4 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Republicans also want to beef up enforcement of immigration laws while easing restrictions on incoming farm and highly skilled workers. ■■Budget: House Republicans want to balance the budget in 10 years. Senate Republicans haven’t embraced that timeline, but GOP leaders agree that federal spending must be curbed. Republicans will likely use must-pass spending bills to challenge Obama on anti-pollution and business regulations.

■■Taxes: The GOP wants to lower income tax rates for corporations and other businesses, with lost revenue recovered by plugging unspecified loopholes. Democrats might go along if extra money is raised for building highways. ■■Other votes: Speeding congressional approval of trade treaties; hindering Obama’s outreach to Cuba and Iran; Obama’s nominations of Loretta Lynch for attorney general and Ashton Carter for defense secretary; renewing expired terrorism risk insurance; preventing expiration of the highway construction trust fund, the Export-Import Bank and federal borrowing authority.

Two suspects in an armed holdup followed by a wild shootout that left a pair of plainclothes police officers wounded were arrested Tuesday after an intense manhunt. Security video showed one of the men, Jason Polanco, firing at the officers with a powerful .44 Magnum pistol as they pursued him Monday night following the robbery in a Bronx grocery store, police said. Polanco, 23, was arrested on attempted murder and robbery charges. The second man, 28-year-old Joshua Kemp, was charged with robbery. Police officials praised five officers for responding to the robbery report even though their shifts had ended. The two wounded officers were hospitalized in stable condition.

D.C.: Jeb Bush forms PAC Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Tuesday announced the formation of a political action committee designed to lay the groundwork for a 2016 presidential campaign. In a video posted in English and Spanish on Facebook, the Republican said that the “Right to Rise PAC” will allow him to “support candidates who believe in conservative principles to allow all Americans to rise up.” An aide confirmed that the organization also allows Bush to hire staff, conduct polling, and pay for travel as he courts key donors and Republican officials across the country.

Mo.: New grand jury sought The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund is asking a St. Louis County Circuit judge to convene a new grand jury to consider charges against the Ferguson officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown. The letter also requests an investigation of the grand jury proceedings that led to the decision not to indict Darren Wilson. The white police officer shot Brown, who was black and unarmed, on Aug. 9.

AROUND THE WORLD Liberia: Ebola clinical trial A clinical drug trial is now under way at a major health center in the capital, Monrovia, to determine if a medication already used to treat other viruses could help those infected with Ebola. The drug, brincidofovir, is being tested in patients at the ELWA 3 center operated by Doctors Without Borders, the group said. Ebola, which has no licensed treatment or cure, has killed more than 8,000 people in West Africa over the past year.

Indonesia: Divers search for AirAsia jet wreckage At least two divers plunged into the choppy waters early Wednesday during a break in the bad weather to search for two large objects suspected of being chunks of the AirAsia plane that crashed more than one week ago, an Indonesian official said. The USS Fort Worth detected the latest two objects Tuesday at a depth of 92 feet near the Karimata Strait off Indonesia. Two more bodies were retrieved Tuesday, bringing the total to 39. Flight 8501 crashed Dec. 28 with 162 passengers and crew aboard.

County housing market finishes strong By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The housing market in Snohomish County and around metro Puget Sound finished strong in 2014. Residential sales and median home prices climbed in December compared to the same month last year, according to data released Tuesday by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. Across the 23 counties included in the NWMLS survey,

pending sales increased by nearly 11 percent, closed sales were up 10 percent and the median price — $290,000 — was 5.45 percent higher than the $275,000 median price in December 2013. In Snohomish County, December’s pending residential sales — which includes homes and condominiums — increased 14.5 percent compared to the same month last year. Closed sales went up by 5.6 percent, and the median price went from $290,000 in December 2013 to $318,250

last month, an increase of 9.7 percent. But while more houses and condos sold, new listings did not keep pace. The county’s only has enough homes for sale to feed demand for about two months, according to NWMLS. King County has lowest supply of listings. It has less than six weeks of supply. Diedre Haines, who is Coldwell Banker Bain’s principal managing broker for South Snohomish County, said she expects

“sustained demand” in 2015. While demand is outpacing supply, sellers should be realistic about their asking price, Haines said. “Buyers are serious about making a purchase, but they are in no mood to play games as they are very well educated regarding price,” she said. “If the house is overpriced — even by a small amount — buyers will simply not make offers.” Dan Catchpole: 425-339-3454; dcatchpole@heraldnet.com; Twitter: @dcatchpole.

Rocket problem postpones SpaceX flight to space station By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX called off a supply flight to the International Space Station on Tuesday because of rocket trouble, another delay in the delivery of groceries and overdue Christmas presents. The countdown was halted just over a minute before launch when a steering mechanism in the rocket malfunctioned — “behaving strangely,” as SpaceX chief Elon Musk noted via Twitter. The soonest SpaceX can try again to launch the unmanned Falcon rocket is Friday morning, provided it can quickly fix the problem. NASA took the latest shipment

delay in stride, while the company faced three more days of anxious waiting for its unprecedented rocket-landing test — attempting to fly back the main booster to a platform in the ocean. The Dragon capsule is loaded with more than 5,000 pounds of food, science experiments and equipment for an upcoming series of spacewalks, as well as belated holiday surprises for the six station astronauts. The station pantry took a hit when another company’s supply ship was destroyed in a launch explosion a few months ago. Space station commander Butch Wilmore said the six crew members ran out of condiments a month ago, and he’s yearning

for some yellow mustard to spice up the food. He and his crewmates were watching the launch countdown just before sunrise live via a video feed from Mission Control in Houston. “Certainly, there’s a little bit of disappointment because it had fresh fruit and those types of things that we’re all interested in getting,” Wilmore said in an interview with The Associated Press after the postponement. “But they’ll get off the ground here in a couple of days and it will all be great.” SpaceX officials said one of two motors needed for rocket thrust steering of the second stage was moving when it should have been See SPACEX, Page A10

The forum said there will be “significant participation from all crisis-hit areas in the world.”

Mediator assigned to dockworkers dispute

The downtown Everett restaurant has closed its doors for the final time, citing financial problems.

EVERETT — The Majestic Cafe shut down just before Christmas, announcing the closure by thanking patrons with a note on the door and a posting on Facebook. The restaurant had been open for 9 1/2 years in downtown and served more than 400,000 meals, first on Hewitt Avenue and later at 2929 Colby Ave. “Restaurants are a difficult businesss to run and more was going out than was coming in,” owner Scott Lord said Tuesday. The restaurant had been struggling for months, because downtown Everett can be up and down, Lord said. The construction of the Courtyard by Marriott — and the loss of parking around the area — made the situation more difficult. “I think I kept the business open longer than I should have,” Lord said. “I’m in a pretty deep hole.” Some employees are angry about the timing and handling of the closure and the lack of wages. Blake Faircloth, 26, the bar manager, said he learned about the closure while visiting family in California when

In a de-escalation of heated contract negotiations, West Coast dockworkers and their shipping line employers asked that a federal mediator help them reach an agreement. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service said late Monday that it received a joint request from the parties and that a mediator has been assigned to help. Contract talks between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and employers have been ongoing for eight months.

Starbucks gift cards ring up strong sales Starbucks gift cards filled U.S. stockings at an unprecedented rate this holiday season, the company said Monday. One in 7 Americans got a Starbucks gift card in November and December, up from 1 in 8 in the previous year, the company said. That’s about 45 million cards. About $1.1 billion was loaded on Starbucks cards in the U.S. and Canada through Christmas Day, according to spokesman Jim Olson.

Postmaster general slams banking plan Retiring Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe scoffed Tuesday at suggestions that the Postal Service could ease some of its chronic financial woes by offering basic banking services to its customers. “Our role is delivery,” not making financial services available, he told reporters. The banking proposal came from the office of inspector general within the Postal Service. Supporters say such services could include prepaid debit cards, check cashing or savings accounts.

While Ramirez didn’t propose specific regulations, her remarks underscore the Obama administration’s concerns over consumer privacy. The FTC has made the issue a priority, pursuing investigations and enforcement actions against tech companies and data brokers that collect and sell consumer information. The boom in connected devices has the potential to spur global economic growth, improve health and provide other benefits, Ramirez said. But it also allows companies “to digitally monitor our otherwise private activities,” and the “sheer volume of granular data” will allow them to compile more detailed profiles of individuals. “Your smart TV and tablet may track whether you watch the History Channel or reality television,” she added, “but will your TV-viewing habits be shared with prospective employers or universities?

he checked his schedule on Christmas Day using an online system for tracking employee hours. Lord held a meeting with employees in early December about the financial issues and told them he was working on finding an outside investor, Faircloth said. “He said we were in a financial thing, but he said everything was going to work out and he would give us notice if the company was going to shut down,” Faircloth said. Jeremy Smith, 39, of Everett, said he is owed wages for 96 hours of work. He worked the Monday before Christmas. “I was there the last time that restaurant was open,” Smith said. “I put up the chairs for the last time, although I didn’t know it then.” Smith, a server and buser, said it’s been difficult paying bills and rent. He was forced to withdraw from Everett Community College. Smith and Faircloth said they felt the restaurant was popular. “Business was good as far as I could tell,” Smith said. “The last night we were opened, we

on Christmas Eve to let him know he was shutting down the Majestic. He said it’s difficult, but he understands that small businesses can struggle. “I was more upset than angry,” Greulich said. “It was a blow. That was a huge part of all of our lives. We were a family there. I was really upset that we

weren’t going to come back and see the regulars.” He said he was proud of their work, adding that the Majestic never skimped on ingredients. He said the loss of wages is difficult, but he still respects Lord. “If he found a way to open it tomorrow, I would be there dressed and ready to work,” Greulich said.

But Ramirez said she often hears businesses argue that too much regulation might interfere with creating new or unexpected beneficial uses for data. “I question the notion that we must put sensitive consumer data at risk on the off-chance a company might someday discover a valuable use for the information,” she said, adding that companies should collect only data needed for a specific purpose. Ramirez also warned that if the industry doesn’t respect consumer privacy, potential customers will lose trust in its products.

still. If controllers had not aborted the launch, computers likely would have done so closer to flight time, officials said. Once the Dragon is on its way, the California-based company will try to fly the first-stage booster rocket to a platform in the Atlantic. No one has ever pulled

off such a touchdown. Normally, the boosters are discarded at sea. SpaceX’s founder, Musk, said recovering and reusing rockets could speed up launches and drive down costs. The delivery was supposed to occur before Christmas, but was delayed twice in mid-December, once because of a flawed

test firing of the rocket engines. The test was repeated successfully, paving the way for Tuesday’s try — the sixth supply run by SpaceX since 2012. NASA is using SpaceX and another private company — Orbital Sciences Corp. — to help keep the space station stocked. The last shipment attempt — by Orbital — ended in an

explosion seconds after the October liftoff from Virginia. Orbital has grounded its rocket fleet until next year. Space station program manager Mike Suffredini said the outpost is nowhere near being short on food or other critical supplies. Russia and Japan also have supply shipments planned this year.

IN OUR VIEW | The Kalakala and the Equator

Ships that pass into history Washington residents don’t like saying goodbye to parts of their maritime heritage. But they have a harder time finding the will and the money to preserve those pieces of history. After a long, expensive and torturous effort to preserve it, the Kalakala, the silverskinned art deco ferry that served Seattle and Bremerton from 1935 to 1967, is scheduled to be scrapped next month. Washington ferries generally are fondly regarded, at least when they’re running and on schedule. They are the poor man’s yacht for many of us. When family and friends visit from out of state, a ride on a state ferry is the go-to outing, along with the trips to the Space Needle and the Pike Place Market. The Kalakala, even for those

who never went on what was reportedly a rattling, clanking ride, was even more fondly regarded for its quirk factor. It’s gleaming streamlined hull fit the “future is now” aesthetic of Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair. And it was easy to root for its rescue when, after it was sold and towed to Alaska to serve as a floating seafood processing plant, it was brought home, worn and rusted, to Washington waters in 1998 to be refurbished and used as a tourist attraction. Instead, waiting for the funding that would refurbish the ferry, it drifted from moorage to moorage until it was tied up finally in Tacoma. Its current owner has spent about $500,000 to mothball it and will likely spend another $500,000 to have it scrapped. A Port of Tacoma commissioner estimated it would cost

$25 million to refurbish the Kalakala, Tacoma’s News Tribute reported. Western Washington has a mixed record in terms of preserving its maritime history. The Historic Ships Wharf at Seattle’s Lake Union is home to the Virginia V, the last remaining steamer of Puget Sound’s Mosquito Fleet ferries; the Swiftsure, a lighthouse tender built in 1904; the Duwamish, a Seattle fireboat built in 1909; and the Arthur Foss, a wooden tug built in 1889. The Wawona, the largest three-masted schooner ever built in North America, hauled lumber along the Pacific Coast and was used for cod fishing in the Bering Sea. In its retirement it was brought to Seattle in 1964 with the goal of restoring it. But the cost to save it, as is now the case with the Kalakala, was too great and it

was scrapped in 2008. Meanwhile, Everett’s own Equator now floats somewhere between preservation and destruction. The twomasted schooner built in 1888 carried author Robert Louis Stevenson on a voyage between Hawaii and Samoa in 1889. It was abandoned here in 1957. The Equator bears the distinction of being the first artifact in Everett to earn a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The Equator’s hull now sits beneath a shed roof on Port of Everett property near the 10th Street boat launch. Not every piece of history can be saved. The Kalakala was given more time than most to generate interest and a fundraising campaign. Even with a roof above it, the elements may determine how much time the Equator has.

Blame rests with speeding driver In response to the “B.C. speeding law a bitter lesson” letter bemoaning Canada’s speeding laws, speeding 24 mph over the speed limit would result in 49 mph in a residential zone and 94 mph on the open highway.

Fines not enough for fatalities After reading Tuesday’s page one article, “Landscaping firm fined $199K in young man’s death,” it set me to wondering: Where will the money from the fine go? Will it go to the victim’s family? To the county general fund? Can someone provide an answer to this? Also, how many violations

must a company be allowed to commit before its business license is revoked? (Pacific Topsoils has 16!) We have many workplace safety laws in place to protect workers, yet so many companies knowingly violate them, to save time and money. Paying a fine is the easy way out. Going out of business, or better yet, going to jail would be quite an incentive to comply with the rules. James Tobler Lynnwood

GUEST COMMENTARY | Student loan debt

Less support for higher-ed hurts students By Chris Reykdal

he U.S. student loan debt is almost $1.3 trillion. That’s trillion with

a “T.” Students and families from Washington state own at least $18.3 billion of that debt, with $1.4 billion in additional borrowing last year alone. Graduates face the toughest job market in decades and they are doing it with unprecedented student loan debt. More than 771,000 Washingtonians now hold student loans. It’s time we address this bubble before it pops! Our anti-tax hysteria is the largest contributor to this crisis. The rhetoric of over-taxation is not supported by the facts. As demand continues to rise for services such as highquality schools, colleges and universities, adequate prison facilities and mental health treatment, the revenues that pay for those services are shrinking as a share of our collective income. Washingtonians are now paying 31 percent less in taxes than they did in 1990 as a share of our income. A

perfect storm of increased online sales, new business tax breaks and revenue-cutting initiatives over the last two decades has put our state in financial jeopardy. As a result, college students and parents are feeling the financial pain. At the University of Washington and Washington State University, for example, taxpayer support has shrunk by almost $8,000 per student since 1990. Tuition has gone up to make up the difference. The inflation-adjusted cost of delivering higher education has remained steady over the years. However, the price for students and families has skyrocketed as state cuts have been replaced by tuition. Sadly, we abandoned higher education as a public good in favor of a more cynical belief that it is merely a private benefit. We have now created a career and college-ready high school diploma. This is a good thing, but sending more students to college makes little sense if we are going to eat up their income gains with debt. Here are three things we

can do in the 2015 legislative session to turn this around: ■■Appropriate $140 million per year to address the short-fall in the State Need Grant program. There are more than 30,000 students who qualify for state financial aid but are denied only due to lack of funds. Full funding will restore the promise of financial aid for low-income students and reduce their loan burden. ■■Restrict tuition growth to the inflation rate. This will create a more stable and predictable measure of tuition growth — something middle-class families need to adequately plan for their kids’ college educations. This will require a bold reinvestment once again into our colleges and universities. Political boasting about zero percent tuition increases may make for a great sound bite, but it’s not sustainable unless we restore state investments into our colleges and universities. ■■Expansion of dual credit course programs such as Running Start and college-in-the-high school

— college-level courses offered to high school students. We are already paying for the seat time, so now it is time for a new incentive system — no book costs, no fees, no tuition for high school students willing to take rigorous college courses. If we can double the current output of dual credits, we will save students and families $1 billion over 10 years! Until we can find the courage to rewrite our tax code and fully fund higher education, we can take these three steps to dramatically shrink the need for student borrowing. These policies, if enacted in the 2015 legislative session, will provide immediate relief for low- and middle-income families who are struggling to pay tuition bills. What do you think about these ideas? Are you saving for your child’s college education? Have you given up due to the high costs? State Rep. Chris Reykdal, D-Tumwater, serves as vice chairman of the House Education Committee. You can reach him at chris.reykdal@ leg.wa.gov or 360-786-7940.

Oil producers who can ride out market control it

he recent plunge of oil prices to below $50 a barrel offers the same lessons as previous sharp fluctuations: Energy markets work and politicians who try to steer them almost always get it wrong. It’s ironic that, amid this demonstration of the power of supply and demand, Congress is beginning its debate on DAVID IGNATIUS the symbolic issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. The premise on both sides of the aisle is that legislative decisions will shape the supply of crude oil. But 40 years of experience says otherwise. The “oil shock” aspect of price swings makes us forget that since the 1970s, the energy market has regularly oscillated because of supply and demand. Producers once imagined they could rig this market through the OPEC cartel. But one of the biggest stories of 2014 is the stonecold death of OPEC as a viable cartel. It turns out there are just too many producers for price-fixing to work. What accounts for the more than 50 percent decline in oil prices since mid-2014? Economists say it’s a reaction to forces that have been building ever since the market recovered from the last price collapse in 2008, when it fell from over $130 a barrel to below $50. Spot prices surged again by 2012 to a peak of nearly $120, but this accelerated a gush of new production. That, coupled with lagging demand, made the high prices unsustainable. The country that seems to have understood best the reality of the market is Saudi Arabia. This may surprise people who remember the Saudis as the architects of the 1973-74 embargo. But after decades of trying to control the market by rationing production, the Saudis realized that, because their oil is so cheap to produce, they were best positioned to survive in a world of oversupply. “Why should the low-cost producer prop up prices to keep the higher-cost producers on track?” asks Nat Kern, publisher of Foreign Reports, a leading industry newsletter. The Saudis remain the biggest players in the market, even if they’ve learned they can’t control it for long. “OPEC may be dead, but Saudi Arabia isn’t,” says J. Robinson West, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “The moral of the story is that Saudi Arabia remains sovereign in this industry.” This latest supply-demand turnaround began not with the oil giants but with small, independent U.S. gas producers. West notes that these “little guys” developed fracking technology a decade ago to produce gas from shale formations and cash in on what were then high prices for natural gas. Gas prices fell as supply increased, so producers turned their technology to oil, which traded at a much higher world price. Markets, not government policy, drove this activity. The shale revolution has added more than a million barrels a day to U.S. oil production, making America an energy superpower on the order of Saudi Arabia or Russia. With the recent price collapse, some shale exploration may be halted. But a study by Scotiabank of break-even costs of major shale plays, cited in a recent post on Vox, shows that production from the Bakken fields in North Dakota and some other big shale reserves is likely to continue, even with oil below $60. Oil became a decisive strategic commodity in the 1970s, often used as a weapon against America. But the recent price collapse seems likely to bolster U.S. foreign policy leverage. Russia and Iran, two potential adversaries, are both chronically dependent on oil exports. With falling prices, they need to expand production and exports, if possible — which will add to the global supply glut. Nobody knows how long this market cycle will last, but economists say low prices may persist, so long as the Saudis keep producing aggressively. That’s because there are so many cash-hungry producers — such as Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Venezuela, not to mention the new U.S. shale producers. Meanwhile, Congress battles over the Keystone pipeline. At current prices, its throughput of relatively high-cost Canadian tar-sands oil appears less attractive. But if the price is right, this oil will get to market, if not by pipeline then by rail. Congress would be wise if it took its cues from the market, as the Saudis have learned to do. Ignoring price signals is a guarantee of bad energy policy. David Ignatius’ email address is davidignatius@washpost.com.

Boeing: Not yet known if Airbus landed more orders From Page A1

keep cash flowing as it brings several new commercial airplanes into service in coming years. Wall Street analysts expect Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ 2014 revenue to have increased over the prior year. But that gain will likely be partially offset by declining revenue from the company’s defense, space and security side. The company is to announce 2014 earnings on Jan. 28. Boeing apparently will beat rival Airbus Group in deliveries this year, according to a Tuesday Reuters report, which cited an anonymous source. The European airplane maker is scheduled to release 2014 order and delivery totals next Tuesday. It isn’t clear which of the two companies landed the most orders in 2014. By the end of November,

Airbus had logged 1,328 total orders and, accounting for cancellations, 1,031 net orders. As Issaquah-based aerospace analyst Scott Hamilton noted on his company’s website, Leeham News and Comment, “Airbus has a habit of finishing Decembers with a surge of orders, often topping the Boeing numbers.” Boeing’s single-aisle 737 led the way with 1,104 net orders and 1,196 gross orders.

Rocks block westbound I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass Associated Press SNOQUALMIE PASS — Westbound I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass reopened late Tuesday afternoon after rocks earlier rolled down a slope and were hit by three vehicles, the Washington state Transportation Department said. A geotechnical expert who checked the area said it was sufficiently stable with the addition of a concrete barrier to deflect any new falling rocks, WSDOT spokeswoman Meagan Lott said. Officials opened one westbound lane at 4 p.m. and hoped to reopen the second within a

few hours. The rocks that came down before 5 a.m. Tuesday about six miles east of the summit were hit by two trucks and an SUV. One man was treated for a minor injury. Eastbound traffic was not affected. The rockslide came down west of the old snow shed that was removed last April, Lott said. It’s in the same area where there has been a lot of blasting in recent years and where bolts have been drilled to secure the rock face. It’s part of a project to improve the interstate over the mountain pass, especially for winter travel.

company delivered 485 of the airplanes, which are assembled in Renton. Boeing produces 42 737s a month there and plans to increase production to 47 a month in 2017 and to 52 a month in 2018. Most of the orders — 891 — were for 737 MAX airplanes, which are to replace the current 737 Next Generation version. Boeing’s newest airplane for sale, the under-development 777X, brought in 220 orders. Its predecessor, the 777 classic, got 63 orders — 49 for 777-300ERs and 14 for the freighter version. Boeing executives have said they need to get between 40 and 60 orders per year for the next five years to keep the 777 line busy until airlines start flying the 777X. Boeing wants to keep the 777 line at its current production rate of 8.3 airplanes a month. In 2014, it

delivered 99 777s. Dreamliner orders slowed this year, drawing only 65 orders. With cancellations, the net order total for the 787 was 41. That doesn’t mean customers don’t like the airplane, though. Boeing has 843 orders for 787s, meaning that an order placed today likely won’t be delivered until late in the decade. More important, Boeing delivered 114 Dreamliners in 2014, beating its goal of 110. Boeing ramped up production in both Everett and North Charleston, South Carolina. The North Charleston plant turned out 34 Dreamliners, compared to only 14 in 2013. Boeing has made improvements to address many of the biggest problems that have hampered 787 production. But some problems persist. For example, some interior work

still has to be finished on the flight line at the Everett plant, and fuselage sections sometimes arrive from South Carolina with incomplete or incorrect work. However, Boeing has greatly increased the plane’s production rate and added a new variant to the assembly line, the 787-9. It was not a good year for Boeing’s two other Everettbuilt commercial jetliners — the 747 and 767. The iconic 747 brought in only two orders, but two orders were also canceled, leaving Boeing with no net orders. Interest in the jumbo jet has been waning, and Boeing announced in December that it will decrease 747 production in September 2015 to 16 per year. The airplane maker could land a high-profile 747 order in the next few years. The Air Force will start looking in 2015 for a replacement for the airplanes used to

shuttle the U.S. president, better known by the call sign Air Force One. Today the Air Force flies two specially modified 747-200s for that mission. Nineteen 747s were delivered in 2014, leaving Boeing with only 36 orders to fill. Boeing got four net orders for the 767. The company has 47 outstanding orders for the plane. But that doesn’t include 179 aerial-refueling tankers based on the 767 for the Air Force. Those orders will keep the Everett-based 767 assembly line working until 2027. The program logged its first test flight in late December. The 1,432 net orders are worth $232.7 billion at list prices, according to Boeing. However, airplanes are often sold with large discounts.

yards and crawl spaces. In Oso, a swollen Deer Creek threatened to overtake Highway 530 west of the mudslide site Monday. County crews and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have stabilized the creek bank, Pennington said. The rainstorm hit a bull’s-eye in the foothills above Monroe and Sultan, dumping up to 7.56 inches in places between noon Sunday and noon Monday, said Josh Smith, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “Most of the areas over there got 6 to 8 inches,” he said. The lowlands, particularly south of Paine Field, got less than an inch. On Tuesday, though, floodwaters lapped over the Old SnohomishMonroe Road near downtown Snohomish. City workers checking on a manhole pointed to a highwater mark — grime on the tires of a parked car. It was clear the river had dropped at least a foot. Woods Creek north of Monroe rushed fast and strong, spilling its banks in places. Back in Gold Bar, Fenner and Abele, who are in their

What is left of Laurie Fenner’s neighbor’s house sits on the precipice of the eroded river bank Tuesday afternoon. The house fell into the Wallace River on Monday during a rainstorm.

animals are the major thing we worry about.” Nearly all of their pets — including dogs, cats, horses, a pig and a rabbit — are rescues. The couple own three acres but are hesitant to build a new house from scratch. The former owner brought in riprap twice, using rocks to shore up the bank. “We went down to the

river this morning. It’s sad,” Fenner said. “We can see (the neighbor’s) items are strewn everywhere on a pile of broken logs.” The couple’s stand-alone garage is expected to go into the river before long, too. The county has told them not to go inside. They awoke during the storm to the sound of boulders thundering past in the river below. Hundred-foot trees slammed against the bank, tearing out chunks of earth, Fenner said. “That river is amazing,” she said. “It’s like a wild animal. I love it. I love that river. I won’t leave the river.” Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.

session, or encumbrances on February 6, 2015. The defaults referred to in paragraph III must be cured by January 26, 2015 (11 days before the sale) to cause a discontinuance of the sale. The sale will be discontinued and terminated if at any time before January 26, 2015 (11 days before the sale date) the default as set forth in paragraph III is cured and the Trustee’s fees and costs are paid. The sale may be terminated any time after January 26, 2015 (11 days before the sale) and before the sale by the Borrower, any Guarantor (defined below), or the holder of any recorded junior lien or encumbrance paying the entire principal and interest secured by the Deed of Trust, plus costs, fees, and advances, if any, made pursuant to the terms of the obligation and/or Deed of Trust, and curing all other defaults. A written notice of default was transmitted by the Beneficiary or Trustee to the Borrower and Guarantors at the following address(es): PID-008 Shadowood Estates LLC c/o Fikso Kretschmer Smith Dixon Ormseth P.S., Registered Agent 2025 First Avenue, Suite 1130 Seattle, WA 98121 PID-008 Shadowood Estates LLC 4543 - 193rd Place SE Issaquah, WA 98027 Michael Lorenz 4543 - 193rd Place SE Issaquah, WA 98027 Katherine Lorenz 4543 - 193rd Place SE Issaquah, WA 98027 by both first class and certified mail on September 5, 2014, proof of which is in the possession of the Trustee, and Borrower was personally served on September 9, 2014, with said written notice of default, and the Trustee has possession of proof of such service. The Trustee whose name and address are set forth below will provide in writing to anyone requesting it, a statement of all costs and fees due at any time prior to the sale. The effect of the sale will be to deprive the Borrower and all those who hold by, through or under the Borrower of all their interest in the Property. Anyone having any objection to the sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objections if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the sale pursuant to RCW 61.24.130. Failure to bring such a lawsuit may result in a waiver of any proper grounds for invalidating the trustee’s sale. SPECIAL NOTICE TO GUARANTORS If any of the parties receiving this notice are guarantors of the obligations referenced above, each such guarantor (individually and collectively, “Guarantor”) is hereby notified that: (1) Guarantor may be liable for a deficiency judgment to the extent the sale price obtained at the trustee’s sale is less than the debt secured by the Deed of Trust; (2) Guarantor has the same rights to reinstate the debt, cure the default, or repay the debt as is given to the grantor in order to avoid any trustee’s sale; (3) Guarantor will have no right to redeem the Property after the trustee’s sale; (4) subject to such longer periods as are provided in the Washington deed of trust act, chapter 61.24 RCW, any action brought to enforce a guaranty must be commenced within one year after the trustee’s sale, or the last trustee’s sale under any deed of trust granted to secure the obligations referenced above; and (5) in any action for a deficiency, Guarantor will have the right to establish the fair value of the Property as of the date of the trustee’s sale, less prior liens and encumbrances, and to limit its liability for a deficiency to the difference between the debt and the greater of such fair value or the sale price paid at the trustee’s sale, plus interest and costs. NOTICE TO OCCUPANTS OR TENANTS The purchaser at the trustee’s sale is entitled to possession of the Property on the 20th day following the sale, as against the grantor under the Deed of Trust (the owner) and anyone having an interest junior to the Deed of Trust, including occupants who are not tenants. After the 20th day following the sale the purchaser has the right to evict occupants who are not tenants by summary proceedings under chapter 59.12 RCW. For tenant-occupied property, the purchaser shall provide a tenant with written notice in accordance with RCW 61.24.060 and the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009.

Eagles jolt Warriors

Feisty, underrated, dynamic, champions Seahawks wide receivers are more productive than most give them credit for.

the ball fell to the floor. “We tried to run something first, they read it pretty well, and we just kind of went for it,” Aune said. “We got the ball in bounds and the sea opened up. It was a pretty easy right-handed lay-in and we got it.” Aune’s basket capped a double-digit comeback for the Eagles for the second time in

ENTON — One of the most memorable plays made by a Seattle Seahawks receiver in 2014 involved blocking, which in a way is both fitting and misleading. On one hand, the impressive effort made by Ricardo Lockette on Marshawn Lynch’s 79-yard touchdown run in Arizona demonstrated so much of what the Seahawks look for in receivers — unselfishness, toughness, the willingness to do the dirty work in a run-first offense. But on the other hand, to say Seattle’s receivers are just gritty or scrappy or whatever you want to call them is a bit demeaning. Because while no one in Seattle’s passing game, quarterback Russell Wilson included, puts up big individual numbers, the Seahawks are a much better passing team — and much more proJOHN BOYLE ductive at receiver — than most give them credit for. While the Seahawks attempted the fewest passes in the NFL this season, marking the third straight year they’ve been 31st or 32nd in that category, they still managed to be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. Of Seattle’s 454 pass attempts this season, 54 went for 20 or more yards. That rate of 11.9 percent ranked first in the NFL, just ahead of Indianapolis, a team that, oddly enough, attempted the most passes in the league this season. Wilson deservedly gets a lot of the credit for those big plays, but Seattle’s receivers, led by Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and rookie Paul Richardson, are an underrated part of Seattle’s offense. And considering that the Carolina Panthers held Marshawn Lynch to 62 yards earlier this season, and just 43 in last year’s meeting, the Seahawks very well could need more big plays out of their underappreciated receivers this weekend. “You’ve got to be mentally tough to be a receiver here, because you’re not going to get as many balls, you’re not going to get as many targets, but you’ve got to stay ready at all points of the ballgame,” said Kearse, who has had a knack for big catches

Arlington players celebrate after winning on a buzzer-beating layup by Nathan Aune against Edmonds-Woodway on Tuesday.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Aune hits buzzer-beater as Arlington tops Edmonds-Woodway 61-59 By David Krueger Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Arlington senior Nathan Aune had a pretty big first for his basketball career Tuesday night in the Eagles’ game against Edmonds-Woodway. With less than a second remaining in the game, Aune had his “first real buzzer-beater.” Aune, who has made a

game-winning shot in summer league games, handed Arlington a regular-season victory with a lay-in as the clock wound down to give the Eagles a 61-59 win over the Warriors in a non-conference game at Edmonds-Woodway High School. “It’s pretty exciting,” Aune said. “It’s my first real buzzer-beater. I got one in summer league but that doesn’t count.”

Arlington got the ball with the score tied at 59 and about five seconds remaining on the clock. After the Warriors stopped Arlington’s first attempt to get a shot by knocking the ball out of bounds, the Eagles tried again and found Aune open on the perimeter. The 6-foot-3 wing streaked to the hoop and got off a lay-in just in time. The buzzer sounded right as

Former major league pitcher Randy Johnson answers questions during a press conference after his election into the baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Johnson spent 10 of his 22 seasons with the Seattle Mariners.

INSIDE: NHL, C2

The National Baseball Hall of Fame will be clearing space in July for the Big Unit, but the wait continues for Edgar Martinez, the man who so defined the role of designated hitter that baseball’s annual DH award bears his name. Left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson, who spent 10 of his 22 major-league seasons with the Mariners, was elected Tuesday along with Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Craig Biggio in voting announced by the Hall of Fame. The four will be formally

inducted in a July 26 ceremony at the Clark Sports Center near the Hall of Fame museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. The Hall, which opened in 1936, now consists of 310 elected members. Johnson, tagged the “Big Unit” because of his intimidating 6-foot-10 presence, becomes the first Hall of Fame member who spent a substantial portion of his career with the Mariners. “I enjoyed (playing) despite what a lot of people (thought),” said Johnson, 51. “I wasn’t out there smiling and laughing a lot, but I enjoyed the competition. I tried to make it last as long as I could. Playing 22 years on the

major-league level is something I never would have imagined.” Johnson received 97.3 percent of the 549 returned ballots, which is the eighth-highest percentage in history. Election required a candidate be named on 75 percent (412) of the returned ballots. For Edgar Martinez, the balloting results extended his disappointment to a sixth year, but he will be eligible again next year after being cited on 27 percent of the returned ballots. “I’m a little encouraged that (the percentage) went up a little bit,” he said in an interview on Sirius XM Radio, “but I knew it was going to be very difficult.” Edgar Martinez received 25.2 percent in 2014.

Lotz leads Tips to win

Everett goaltender has 39 saves, including 21 in the first period, to lift Silvertips over Brandon 5-0.

Tale of the tape (Stats through Monday)

Herald staff BRANDON, Manitoba — The Everett Silvertips made an emphatic statement Tuesday night. The Tips produced arguably their biggest result of the season as the knocked off the high-flying Brandon Wheat Kings 5-0 to continue their fantastic start to their eastern road trip. Brandon is leading the WHL’s Eastern Conference, had won five straight, and the Wheat Kings have already made some major trades to load up for a potential title run. But behind a brilliant performance by goaltender Austin Lotz, who was playing for the first time in his home province of Manitoba, the Tips improved to 3-0 on their sixgame swing through the East Division. Lotz finished with 39 saves, including 21 during a sensational first period that kept Everett in the game. Carson Stadnyk scored two

Candidates who get at least 5 percent remain on the ballot for the following year. Candidates can remain eligible for up to 10 years, which means Martinez could have four more chances. “Hands down,” Johnson said, “he is the best pure hitter that I ever got to see. I hope that his time comes soon, that he gets a phone call stating that he’s a Hall of Fame player. Because he is.” Mike Piazza heads a list of 16 other candidates on the 34-player ballot who met the 5-percent threshold to remain on the 2016 ballot. Piazza fell 28 votes shy of election. Former Mariners outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. will be eligible next season for the first time. But Tuesday belonged to Johnson, who was 303-166 with a 3.29 ERA in 618 career games with Montreal, the Mariners, Houston, Arizona, the New York Yankees and San Francisco from 1988-2009. Johnson won the Cy Young Award on five occasions, including 1995 with the Mariners. His other four awards came consecutively from 19992002 with Arizona. He also won a World Series with the Diamondbacks in 2001. For all that, Johnson wasn’t

Associated Press TORONTO — Randy Carlyle was fired as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday following a road trip in which the team lost five of seven games and showed little sign it would soon get better. The dismissal comes 40 games into the season, with Toronto 21-16-3 and in fourth place in the Atlantic Division. The Maple Leafs have shown flashes of promise but have struggled on defense. “I want to thank Randy for all of his hard work and dedication,” general manager Dave Nonis said in a statement. “It’s never an easy decision to make when changing your leadership, but our team was not trending in the right direction and we felt an immediate change was necessary.” Assistants Steve Spott and Peter Horachek will run the bench for Wednesday’s game against the Washington Capitals. Carlyle went 91-68-19 in 188 games as coach over parts of four seasons. He won the Stanley Cup as coach of the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.

goals, while Remi Laurencelle, Patrick Bajkov and Brayden Low also found the net for Everett (24-11-3-1), which took full advantage on the power play, scoring three times with the Austin Lotz advantage. Jordan Papirny made 23 saves in net for Brandon (29-8-3-1). Everett was indebted to Lotz for escaping the first period with a scoreless tie. Brandon outshot the Tips 21-8 in the first — the most shots Everett has allowed in a period this season. But Lotz made three huge saves, first robbing Jayce Hawryluk with a diving glove save, then twice denying Eric Roy during a late power play, keeping it scoreless. Everett then took the lead on the power play 6 minutes, 45 seconds into the second period. Ben Betker’s shot from the point created a scramble in front, and Stadnyk backhanded in the rebound to give the Tips an unexpected lead. Lotz made another huge save to maintain Everett’s lead, stoning Tim McGauley on a breakaway. Then the Tips

erupted in the final minute of the second to take command on the scoreboard. Everett scored its second power-play goal of the game at 19:10 as Laurencelle tipped Noah Juulsen’s shot under Papirny. Then just 11 seconds later it was 3-0 as Bajkov converted a back-door feed from Matt Fonteyne. Everett had other scoring chances before the period ended, but Papirny made some good saves to keep it 3-0. The Tips kept the Wheat Kings contained in the third, and Stadnyk put it away with another rebound goal on the power play at 13:44. Low finished off in transition at 17:23 to put the icing on the cake.

Johnson was 0-4 at Montreal in 1989 when the Mariners acquired him in a trade, and he led the American League in walks in each of his first three full seasons in Seattle. “If anybody tells you they saw greatness in Randy Johnson (as a teenager),” said Jethro McIntyre, a scout who tracked Johnson in high school, “you better check his medication bottle.” It wasn’t until 1993, when Johnson was 19-8 with a 3.24 ERA, that he emerged as a consistently dominant pitcher. That season, he lowered his walks from 144 to 99 and led the AL with 308 strikeouts. “My time in Seattle was really my apprenticeship,” he said. “That’s where I learned how to pitch. I got the opportunity to go out there every fifth day — good, bad or indifferent — and learn how to pitch.” Johnson often credits his turnaround to a 1992 tip from Nolan Ryan, then pitching for the Texas Rangers. Ryan and Texas pitching coach Tom House noticed Johnson landed on the heel of his front foot in his delivery. Ryan and House suggested Johnson adjust his delivery to land on the ball of his foot. Almost immediately, Johnson’s command steadied because

his release point became consistent. “I guarantee you,” House said, “he’d been told everything Nolan and I told him a thousand times before. You have a tendency to listen when Nolan’s talking.” Johnson finished his career with 4,875 strikeouts, which ranks second in major-league history to Ryan’s 5,714 over a 27-year career from 1966-93. But Johnson ranks first all-time in strikeouts per nine innings at 10.610. Johnson deflected a question Tuesday regarding what club’s cap would appear on his plaque. The Hall of Fame makes that decision after consulting with the player. “I’m just kind of celebrating the 22 years that I played,” he said, “and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. That question is out of my control. That’s more of a Hall of Fame decision at this point. We’ll cross that bridge in the next couple of days, from what I understand.” Johnson’s greatest career success came in Arizona but, for many in the Northwest, he is forever identified as a Mariner. “Seattle was just a wonderful time in my career,” Johnson said. “I had the ability to play with Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner and Omar Vizquel and Ken Griffey Jr. To finally do something as a team in 1995 was pretty special.”

Strange season for Panthers By Steve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he’s never experienced a season like this one since he joined the NFL 30 years ago. Carolina’s journey to the NFC divisional playoffs has included quarterback Cam Newton flipping his truck and being hospitalized with two fractures in his lower back, franchise defensive end Greg Hardy being convicted on two counts of domestic violence, and Rivera’s house catching fire and causing $500,000 worth of the damage five days before the biggest game of his coaching career. “It has been different,” Rivera said. “You can’t make this stuff up.” There’s been nothing ordinary or predictable about the Panthers on the field, either. Carolina became the first NFL team to go more than two months without a victory and reach the playoffs. The Panthers won the NFC South despite a 7-8-1 record. And last Saturday, a defense that gave up 35 or more points in four of its first seven games held Arizona to 78 yards in the wild-card round, the fewest ever allowed in the NFL postseason. Safety Roman Harper said he wasn’t expecting this type of adventure in his first season in Carolina. The Panthers visit Seattle (12-4) on Saturday with a trip to the NFC championship game on the line. “It isn’t the prettiest thing, but we got a date to the prom at the end of the day,” Harper said, laughing. “We’re here. She’s probably not the best-looking one; she’s not going to win prom queen, but we’ll have a good time.” The Panthers aren’t apologizing for their record. In fact, in some ways they believe the season has toughened them and left them playoff ready. They had to win their last four games just to get into the playoffs. Newton has fought through ankle and rib injuries and the back fractures, and he has the Panthers on a five-game winning streak. Rivera is already hunkered down preparing for Seattle while his wife handles the details of where he’ll live for the next 6-8 months while their burned-out home is rebuilt. Hardy still isn’t eligible to play, but his absence paved the way for fellow defensive end Charles Johnson to step out of character and become one of the team’s vocal leaders. Cornerback Josh Norman is convinced the Panthers have benefited from some divine intervention — particularly when it came to Newton’s accident. “If it weren’t for God’s angel covering him in that truck, I don’t know what would have happened,” Norman said. “We could have been talking about missing our quarterback, our leader, forever. But he was blessed.” The idea the Panthers are even still playing after a 3-8-1 start speaks volumes about the team, said center Ryan Kalil. “Some strange things have come up,” Kalil said, “but it’s been very telling of the character and closeness of this team that whether it is something happening inside or outside the locker room, this is a group that stuck together and continue to work and work.” Kalil said that is also a reflection of Rivera, the 2013 NFL Coach of the Year, for staying positive and keeping everyone together when it would have been easy to quit on the season. Rivera said he never once lost faith in his team. “At the end of the day you learn how to deal and cope with these things,” Rivera said, “and if you can keep your focus then you will have an opportunity and a chance.” Then again, maybe Carolina’s season isn’t that unusual. Former Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery was asked about this year and simply laughed. “Well, I played in New York,” Cotchery said, “so I won’t even go there.”

Notes The Panthers have moved practices inside their stadium this week and are piping in crowd noise to help simulate playing in Seattle, which features one of the loudest stadiums in the league. ... Rivera said he’s sticking with returner Brenton Bersin despite a muffed punt that resulted in a turnover against Arizona. ... Wide receiver Philly Brown (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday. Bersin is taking his reps in practice.

C Unger returns, DT Hill to IR By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line has its glue guy back. But their defensive line just lost one of its emerging, young standouts — just as he was bonding with the pass rush. Max Unger was back at practice Tuesday, and head coach Pete Carroll said his two-time Pro Bowl center looks ready to start Saturday night’s NFC divisional playoff game against Carolina at CenturyLink Field. Unger hasn’t played in seven weeks, since he sustained a high-ankle sprain and twisted knee in the fourth quarter of Seattle’s last loss Nov. 16 at Kansas City. But Jordan Hill is out for Saturday — and the rest of this postseason. The second-year defensive tackle who has 51⁄2 sacks during Seattle’s current six-game winning streak went on the injuredreserve list. His season is over no matter how far the Seahawks advance. Hill injured his calf last weekend while working out during Seattle’s playoff bye. It’s not related to the banged knee he got during the regular-season finale against St. Louis on Dec. 28, Carroll said. “It’s a pretty severe calf pull,” the coach said. Hill was becoming a prime force late in games as a recent protege of veteran end Michael Bennett. Soon after Bennett began working with Hill on technique and moves with his hands, arms and feet before practices in November, Hill went from a non-factor to a disruptor, a big part of Seattle’s late-season dominance on defense. The Seahawks filled Hill’s place on the active roster by signing safety Steven Terrell from the practice squad for the second time this season. Unger’s return is timely, and it could prove to be the most influential development for Seattle’s offense in months. That’s how long the Seahawks have used midseason pick-up Patrick Lewis then Lemuel Jeanpierre and then Lewis again at center. A key to them moving the ball consistently against the recently rugged Panthers will be their line’s ability to diagnose where speedy middle linebacker Luke Kuechly is headed on each play, and then to block the All-Pro. Unger is the best communicator on Seattle’s offense. When he’s played this season the running game has been more consistent. The blocking assignments have been more precise. Quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t been chased on drop backs quite as much. “When Max plays our numbers are a little bit better. It actually statistically shows up. We’re running the ball a little bit better, we protect a little bit better, and everything,” Carroll said. “That’s his

in big moments, from the game winner in Carolina last year to his fourth-down touchdown in the NFC championship game to his touchdown in Super Bowl that saw him pinball off multiple Denver defenders. “You might get three balls in the first quarter and might not see another one until the fourth quarter. You’ve just got to be ready, and when your opportunity comes, you’ve just got to make the most of it.” Over the past two seasons, beginning when Sidney Rice went down with an injury, the Seahawks’ receivers have been one of the most disparaged position groups on a first-place team you’ll ever see. They’ve been called pedestrian, appetizers (Get it? Because there’s no main course) and not talented enough to get the job done. Yet time and time again they’ve done enough to help the Seahawks win a Super Bowl and return to the playoffs this year as the No. 1 seed, even without big stats on their resumes. “There’s obviously a lot that’s been said about our receiving corps — it’s mediocre, average, pedestrian, or whatever you want to call it — but we just don’t get the opportunities that other passing teams do,” Baldwin said. “You have to have the

guidance and his experience for the other guys up there. He’s an expert at recognizing looks and calls and directing what’s going on there. So it just stands the reason that we maximize more so with him there. “We’ll just be a little bit more accurate with stuff and the kind of experience that just takes time to get. Patrick and Lemuel, they just haven’t had the background. It’s a wonderful dimension for us that helps us just be right more. And that’s a really important thing in the game, particularly up front.” Wilson has a symbiotic relationship with Unger. They study films of defenses together at least three times each week. Unger knows what Wilson knows and sees at the line before a snap better than Lewis and Jeanpierre ever will. “It’s pretty coordinated,” Unger said of his relationship with Wilson. “It has to be. ... It kind of has to work both ways.” With Unger out, it often hasn’t. Wilson spent chunks of the 10 games Unger missed, the first four from a sprained foot in October, noticeably directing his linemen with hand signals and protection calls just before the snap. At times the result was a delay-of-game penalty. Other times it was foes’ pass rushers besieging the quarterback within the first steps of Wilson’s drop back. Saturday Wilson should be able to focus his eyes more on Carolina’s speedy linebackers Kuechly and Thomas Davis plus an aggressive, young defensive backfield behind them with two new rookie starters, cornerback Bene’ Benwikere and safety Tre Boston. That’s Darrell Bevell’s plan, anyway. “Max is our leader up there,” Seattle’s offensive coordinator said following Tuesday’s indoor practice. “He does a great job

mentality of knowing that when you come here as a receiver in Seattle — a lot of guys that come here and they don’t get it or they don’t understand it — that you’re going to do more blocking than you do receiving, and that’s just our job. “So yeah, you have to have a strong mindset, a tough mentality in order to play receiver here because you’re going to be doing that [blocking] more so here than anything else. So yeah, mentally tough is definitely a prerequisite for a receiver in Seattle.” That mindset is almost as big a part of Seattle’s talent evaluation at receiver — and really at any position — as is physical ability. Nobody in Seattle’s receiving room is going to claim he’s Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant, but at a position where Seattle starts two undrafted players in Baldwin and Kearse, the right mindset is hugely important for a team that isn’t going to feed a receiver like most teams do their top targets. “Everything counts when we’re making evaluations on guys,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. ... The makeup of the guy, the attitude that he brings, the toughness that he brings, the grit the guy brings, that has a lot to do with the guys that we like. We’ve got a very feisty, competitive bunch of guys. They complement one another, but they’re all unique in their way.” Told that Carroll called Seattle’s receiver feisty, cornerback

of just setting it, and then communicating really well with the rest of the guys that are around him. “Since Max hasn’t been in there for quite a while that puts a little more pressure on Russell to try to make things right, make sure he hears everything — where sometimes he kind of takes it for granted that Max is getting it done for him.” The Seahawks’ offense led the NFL in rushing this regular season at 172.6 yards per game — thanks to Marshawn Lynch’s 1,306 yards and Wilson’s improvisational running for 849 more. But its line has struggled for two seasons in pass protection and, recently with Unger out, communication. “What it will give us is the leadership, obviously. The background. The knowledge in the system,” offensive-line coach Tom Cable said. “It will give us a little more strength in there. “Take nothing away from Patrick; he’s done fine. But it’s nice to have a guy back who’s played this much football.” Cable gave a wry, deadpan grin when asked how challenging this season has been for him and his line. He’s had to start nine different blockers at 10 different spots up front through 16 games. He’s started four different centers. Rookie right tackle Justin Britt and right guard J.R. Sweezy, a converted defensive lineman, are the only Seahawks lineman to start every game — though Sweezy was dragging a banged-up ankle through last month. “Tough year for the injuries,” Unger said, meaning himself but representing the entire line. “(But) the bye week was huge ... especially not playing the last six weeks, jumping back in there.” How tough a season has this been for the line? Take November’s win over Oakland. Lewis, signed in August, cut two days later and re-signed in October, started at center because Unger missed his fourth consecutive game. Unger’s initial replacement for four games, Stephen Schilling, was out with a knee injury. Unger and Schilling dressed for the Raiders game because there’s only so many injured guys the team can put as inactive. Undrafted college tight end-turned-tackle Garry Gilliam had to go in at left guard against Oakland after James Carpenter sprained his ankle in the second half. Eventually, Cable felt compelled to insert Schilling because Lewis and the line were getting overwhelmed. Schilling went on injured reserve days later. So has it been challenging, or what? “Yeah, you could say that. Isn’t that obvious?” Cable said playfully. But much of that challenge may subside with Unger’s return. “It’s just nice to have him back,” Cable said, “and have the crew back together.”

Richard Sherman joked, “He’s talking about Doug,” and even though Sherman was mostly having fun at the expense of a close friend, Baldwin does in many ways epitomize what Seattle wants from its receivers. From the enormous chip on his shoulder to his willingness to do the dirty work, to his ability to come through in the clutch time and time again. While few would consider Baldwin or any other Seahawks receiver elite NFL talent, it’s worth noting that Baldwin’s 2014 numbers as Seattle’s top target — 66 catches, 825 yards, 3 touchdowns — are very similar to the numbers Golden Tate put up a year ago when he had 64 catches for 898 yards and five scores. After leaving in free agency and going to Detroit, a much more pass-happy offense, Tate had 99 catches, for 1,331 yards and 4 touchdowns as his team’s No. 2 receiver. “The thing I don’t think people understand is that if we wanted to throw it around, we could,” receivers coach Kippy Brown said. “I’m convinced that we could. We prepare that in case we had to open it up — we’re prepared for that. Our guys, they could go any place. I’ve coached a lot of places in this league, and they could go any place and play.” Seattle’s receivers aren’t going to consistently post 100-yard games in the postseason, and they certainly won’t be listed by pundits as a

reason why the Seahawks can repeat, but odds are someone, whether it’s Baldwin or Kearse or Richardson or Kevin Norwood, will make a big play when the Seahawks need one. “They’re feisty, they’re underrated, they’re dynamic, they’re clutch, they’re veterans, and they’re champions,” Sherman said. “A lot of people from last year — this is the same group of receivers that went to the Super Bowl, and a lot of people were calling them appetizers, pedestrians; they called them a lot of things... you can call whoever you want whatever you want, but on game day it really means nothing. “I think our guys show up when we need them.

Jackson escapes with win over Monroe By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

MONROE — One of the most challenging things to do for a high-school basketball team is close out close games. Jackson, a talented team, but one that lacks much varsity experience, is learning that on the fly. In the Bothell Holiday Classic, the Timberwolves saw a fourthquarter lead evaporate against Newport, losing 52-50. On Tuesday against Monroe, Jackson let a late lead slip away again, but not the win. The Bearcats rallied from a 45-36 deficit with a 9-0 run, but the Timberwolves scores the game’s final three points to escape with a 48-45 victory. “We’re trying to learn how to close games out and we had a tough one at the (Bothell) holiday tournament, so to be on the

positive side after letting them tie the game and then getting a couple of stops and one basket when we really needed it is better than it worked out in the earlier situation,” Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said. Monroe’s Rhen Shore capped off the Bearcats’ late run with a 3-pointer with 1:37 to play in the game. Jackson failed to score on its next possession, giving Monroe an opportunity to take its first lead since late in the second quarter when senior Alex Spahman was fouled by Jackson’s Colton Faddis. Spahman went to the line to shoot the one-andone, but missed the front end giving Jackson another chance at the lead. This time, senior Dolan Tierney took advantage of the opportunity, coming off a screen and connecting on a 15-footer to give the Timberwolves a 47-45 lead

with 41 seconds to play. Moments later Tierney added a free throw to give Jackson a three-point lead. “At that time, we’ll take one shot and one free throw, relative to everything else that was going on,” Johnson said. “It was spooky like the Newport game. We had a lot of shots in and out and a few breakdowns defensively. “I was glad to see Dolan step up and make that shot. He shot it with confidence.” Tierney finished the game with 11 points, but none bigger than the final three. Tierney gave the credit to Faddis, who set the screen that got him open for his late jumper. “It was all Colton,” Tierney said. “Colton set such a good screen and it was just like it was practice, just follow through and make the shot.” The game was a back-and-forth affair in the first half, but Jackson

separated itself in the third quarter. Counting the final seconds of the second quarter and the opening minutes of the third, Jackson went on a 10-0 run to take a seven-point lead. That lead was extended to 10 in final seconds of the third quarter before Monroe’s Alex Johnson nailed 3-pointer from 30 feet at the buzzer to make the score 39-32 after three. The shot kept the Bearcats close enough to make a late run, but it wasn’t enough. “I give them some credit,” Johnson said. “They played really hard. They play hard defensively and they make it difficult, but I’d like to think that the end of the game stuff, the bad shot selection and the missed free throws, made it a lot more interesting than it maybe should have been.” With the win, the Timberwolves improve to 5-4 overall, but an impressive 4-0 in Wesco

4A play, which has them alone in first place. “We’re getting wins when it counts,” Tierney said. “It’s paying off. We just have to come to practice tomorrow getting ready for Thursday (against Cascade).” The Bearcats, on the other hand, are faced with the challenge of regrouping before Thursday’s road game against Lake Stevens. “We’re proud of effort and we’re proud of being able to hold them to 48 (points),” Monroe head coach Tyson Horner said. “We want our kids to have the mindset that they have the ability to win games like that. We don’t want them to be proud just because they hung with them.” Aaron Lommers covers prep sports for The Herald. Follow him on Twitter at @aaronlommers and contact him at alommers@ heraldnet.com.

as many games. Donovan Sellgren had 14 of his team-high 21 points in the fourth quarter as Arlington outscored EdmondsWoodway 22-12. “Donovan hit some big shots for us. He hit the shots when we needed him to,” said Arlington head coach Nick Brown. “... It sounds cliche but I’ve been doing this a long time. The juices get flowing for sure but I trust these guys. They’ve been in this situation. I’m very proud of them.” Edmonds-Woodway (7-4 overall) got off to a fast start, scoring the game’s first seven points. The Warriors led the whole way until a Drew Bryson 3-pointer tied the game 55-55 with 2:18 to go. The teams exchanged baskets until the final moments, when Aune put Arlington (8-2) on top for good. “We still had a chance to take it to overtime,” said EdmondsWoodway head coach Robert Brown. “Their player (Aune) was playing well all game and he made a good play. I would be proud of that kid if he played for me. I’m proud of that kid and he didn’t play for me. He just made a play.” The Warriors’ coach said the nailbiter was exactly what he wanted for his squad in a nonconference game.

Herald staff MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Glacier Peak boys basketball team held Mountlake Terrace to just 11 points in the second half to earn a 43-33 victory in a defensive Wesco 3A South battle. “I think our guys did a good job of understanding their assignments,” Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hunter said. “We had some decent pressure on the basketball and ultimately we limited them to one shot, which is really important. Solid defense doesn’t end until you actually get the basketball.” During the third quarter the Grizzlies held the Hawks to zero points but couldn’t take much advantage of their defense, scoring just three points of their own. “Give Terrace some credit they played some solid defense on us,” Hunter said. “There were opportunities to score but we were struggling for some reason.”

promise them wins and losses but my goal is to get them in big games,” Brown said. “... To be in a game like that is just where we want to be. Somebody has to come out on the losing end. Unfortunately, today it was us. But it was a good game.” Junior guard Jordan Rice led Edmonds-Woodway with a game-high 24 points. Rice, who was playing in his second game since his father passed away due to a heart attack on Christmas

Eve, scored half of his points in the first quarter to propel his team to the early lead. Rice injured his left pinky diving to the floor in the second quarter, but after taping his dislocated finger during halftime he returned in the second half and continued to make shots for the Warriors. “I don’t really know what happened,” Rice said. “I just hit the court and looked at my finger and it looked like it was broken to me. I was just like, ‘I want to

play.’ ... Those are the best games. It’s just the most fun, win or lose. You’re playing your heart out.” There was a fundraiser for Rice’s family during the game, and the Arlington team presented him with some Rice Krispies treats and a gift after the contest. “For him to come out and play as hard as he did and as well as he did is just a compliment to him,” Brown said. “He locked everything out and played hard. I’m so proud of him.”

Kamiak 64, Snohomish 59 MUKILTEO — Marcell McQueen (9) and Trevor Gray (8) combined to score 17 points in the fourth quarter as Kamiak outscored Snohomish 2513 in the final period to earn a comeback victory in Wesco 4A action. The Knights knocked down 10of-11 free throws in the period as they erased a nine-point deficit and improved to 7-3 overall and 3-1 in league play. The Panthers shot 7-for11 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter after shooting 6-for-7 in the first half.

The Seattle Sounders wanted to take another step toward an MLS Cup, just as Garth Lagerwey was looking for the next step up in his career. Those two desires clicked Tuesday, when the Sounders introduced Lagerwey as the club’s new general manager and president of soccer. He will report directly to owner and former general manager Adrian Hanauer, while otherwise having control of issues such as the coaching staff, player personnel, transactions, scouting, the Sounders 2 USL-Pro team and the Sounders FC Academy system. “I was looking to be that lead voice on the soccer side, and the Sounders were willing to give me that opportunity,” Lagerwey said. “And now it’s up to me to validate it.” The primary validation would come through the club’s first MLS Cup. The Sounders have made the playoffs in each of their six seasons, and they have won four U.S. Open Cups and the 2014 Supporters Shield. However, in the playoffs they have never advanced beyond the Western Conference finals. “If there was some magic formula, everybody would follow it,” Lagerwey said. “We’d just roll the ball out, follow the formula, plug the players into the spots they’re supposed to go, and go from there. (But) can you keep everybody healthy over the course of the whole season? Can you get your guys playing their best at the right times? Can you get the right matchups? All that stuff goes into it. It’s really, really hard, and there’s only one winner at the end of the year. That’s the title that’s eluded the Sounders, and hopefully when we put our heads together and work together we can win it.” Lagerwey, 42, comes to Seattle after seven seasons as general manager at Real Salt Lake. The club made the playoffs every season he was there, reached the MLS Cup final twice and won the championship in 2009.

Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. — Dominant almost all season and facing expectations of going unbeaten, top-ranked Kentucky looked vulnerable and very beatable against a Mississippi team intent on pulling off a seismic upset. Wildcats guard Aaron Harrison

thwarted the Rebels’ quest by scoring 26 points, including two big free throws with 1:29 remaining in overtime to put Kentucky ahead to stay. Kentucky then withstood three final Mississippi attempts to rally before escaping with an 89-86 victory Tuesday night to win its Southeastern Conference opener and keep its hopes for a perfect season alive.

throughout this offseason,” Valavanis said. “At this time we know she’s back on the court and we’re excited for her. We’ll continue this conversation leading up to the season.” Whether Jackson returns or not, the Storm do have a bright future with the top pick in this year’s draft. “We have a short list for the No. 1 pick,” Valavanis said. Seattle had been one of the most stable franchises in the league over the past decade. The Storm reached the playoffs every year since 2003 until this past season while winning two WNBA titles. Agler had been a big reason for the team’s success since he took over as coach in 2008. “I had a great desire to stay in Seattle and I know that all franchises are in different stages,” Agler said. “Seattle’s in a rebuilding mode right now and I wanted to see it through. But sometimes things don’t work out that way, sometimes it’s just time.” Agler had nothing but good things to say about his time in Seattle. “I know that I’m leaving a really tremendous organization from top to bottom from ownership to front office to players and fans,” the 56-year-old coach said. “I have a lot of great friendships there.”

However, with Lagerwey’s contract expiring last week, he looked for a club where he could more fully control soccer operations. He found that — and he believes even more — in Seattle. “We created a club in RSL that was competitive on and off the field, and we built and academy and we had our vision on how to do things,” he said. “I think it will be a pretty cool challenge now to see if I can do it on a much bigger scale. The Sounders is a larger club. They have a lot more revenue. They have a lot more tools. They have a lot of talented people. They have a lot of assets, and a good manager, a good leader, can hopefully incorporate all of those assets and have everybody pulling together. And that can be a pretty powerful force.” Lagerwey praised Sounders coach Sigi Schmid and sporting director Chris Henderson, and he stressed his belief that all will mesh productively. “I certainly would rather work with talented people and people with proven success,” he said. “I think that’s an exciting job; that’s not something that I would shy away from. And I think if we put our heads together we can be pretty darn effective.” Lagerwey said his immediate to-do list includes meeting with staff, preparing for the first two rounds of the SuperDraft on Jan. 15 and other personnel matters. Before joining RSL, Lagerwey was a goalkeeper at Duke and then from 19962009 in MLS. After his playing career, he worked as an attorney and sports journalist. Hanauer said he never expected to fill the general manager role as long and he did. Now freed of day-to-day soccer issues, he said he will focus on big-picture business operations. “I always said that if the best general manager was available, I would hire that person to replace me,” Hanauer said. “I believe Garth is that man. This decision will allow me to focus more time on strategy surrounding the long-term future of our club.”

LEGAL NOTICE

With Brian Agler’s departure for the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday, the Seattle Storm are in the market for a new coach. “In terms of a timeline this is top priority. We will move as swiftly as we can and as thoroughly as we can,” Seattle president Alisha Valavanis said. “We’re very aware, acutely aware of free agency starting. We’re going to be thorough and find the right fit as soon as we can get that done.” Valavanis, who added the responsibilities of general manager on Monday, confirmed that associate head coach Jenny Boucek is a candidate for the job. “We do have a considerable history with her and are aware of Jenny’s work with the Storm,” she said. “She’s definitely in consideration, but we’re being mindful around the magnitude of this position.” Finding a new coach is only one of the Storm’s issues as they try to rebuild. A key question for the team moving forward will be if center Lauren Jackson will return. Because of injuries, Jackson hasn’t played in the WNBA since 2012. “We’re in communication with Lauren and evaluating and keeping the dialogue open with her and will continue to be

Location: 17117 22nd St NE, Snohomish Tax Account Number: 290611-001-003-00 Hearing specifics: Before the Snohomish County Hearing Examiner, February 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM, First Floor Hearing Room, Administration Building East, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, WA. NOTE: if a valid SEPA appeal is filed, the hearing on the appeal will be combined with the hearing on the underlying project application. Applicant: Dennis Coons Date of application/Completeness date: January 14, 2009 Approvals required: Preliminary Plat Rural Cluster Subdivision Approval and Forest Practices Permit SEPA Decision: On January 7, 2015, PDS determined that this project does not have a probable, significant adverse impact on the environment and has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS). An environmental impact statement (EIS) under RCW 43.21C.03(2)(c) is not required. This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with this agency. SEPA Comment Period: Comments must be received by January 22, 2015, 14 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Everett Herald. SEPA Appeal Period: The DNS may be appealed pursuant to the requirements of Section 30.61.300 SCC and must be received no later than January 22, 2015. Forest Practices: For projects requiring a Forest Practice permit from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and where no valid SEPA appeal is filed, the applicant may request early release of county comments to DNR.

Any person aggrieved by the concurrency determination for this development may submit written documentation (refer to SCC 30.66B.180) at, or prior to, the public hearing explaining why the concurrency determination fails to satisfy the requirements of Chapter 30.66B SCC. Traffic Mitigation: This development will be subject to payment of a Transportation Impact Fee to Snohomish County in an amount as listed in the project file. Any aggrieved person may appeal the decision applying an impact fee under Chapter 30.66B (Title 26B) SCC to the Snohomish County Hearing Examiner by submitting a written appeal to Planning and Development Services, in the manner and form prescribed by SCC 30.71.050, within 14 days of the date of this notice.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

RENEE COMET / THE WASHINGTON POST

Garlic fried rice

A bowl of late-night comfort

JAN ROBERTSDOMINGUEZ

ow that we’re well into the new year, there’s something you’re just going to have to face: The party’s over. In other words, if your diet in recent weeks has been organized around what I consider to be the Basic Four December Food Groups — egg nog, fudge, Christmas cookies and hors d’oeuvres — your system’s in for a shock. I mentioned this to a friend and she said, “I know what you mean. Last night I tried to slice fudge into my salad.” But that doesn’t change the fact that if you’ve been eating too many naughty things it’s time to start being nice to your body. Within reason, of course. The diet pendulum needn’t swing wildly in the other direction. You simply need to approach the process in a sensible manner: A little more fruit, a lot less cake. At the dinner table, the concept could include a variety of meals based on the salad theme. Plenty of crisp leafy greens, tossed with just a little bit of meat or other protein items such as cheese or eggs, then laced with a simple homemade salad dressing (one in which you control the oil and salt content). One of the benefits is that when serving flavorful main-dish salads, the perfect accompaniment is a simple loaf of French bread or whole grain dinner roll, so you’ll naturally be avoiding higher caloried pasta and potato dishes. I’ve put together a collection of what I consider to be terrific shock-free diet options. I think you’ll agree they’re far from rabbit food, but healthy enough that you can feel good about eating them.

Greens and apples salad with honey mustard vinaigrette dressing 5 to 6 cups of mixed greens, including hearts of romaine leaves (the light green, crisp inner portion of a head of Romaine lettuce), and baby arugula 2 to 3 flavorful apples (such as Braeburn, Fuji, or Honeycrisp), peeled, and cored, then sliced

zakaya Seki’s chahan — fried rice with garlic chips — looks plain and even unassuming, but all it takes is one taste to realize that this is pure comfort food, a perfect balance of flavors and textures in each bite. At the stove behind the bar, Hiroshi Seki makes the technique look simple. In truth there are some tricks: selecting high-quality ingredients, gently frying the garlic chips so they don’t burn, using properly cooked (and completely cooled) rice. “It’s simple but not easy,” he says with a smile. The result is as sublime as a late-night snack. That makes it particularly appropriate for a Japanese-style pub; however, you might find yourself craving it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, too.

Garlic fried rice (Chahan)

As you begin eating healthy again in the new year, try a nice healthy salad like this one of Fuji apples, baby greens and roasted hazelnuts with a sweet honey mustard and hazelnut oil vinaigrette.

as described below 1 cup of crumbled blue cheese 1 cup coarsely chopped roasted and skinned hazelnuts 1 ⁄2 cup red or white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon sweet honey mustard 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⁄3 cup hazelnut oil (if available) 1 ⁄3 cup canola oil Everything clicks in this mixture, as long as you select apples with

exceptional flavor and crispness. Among the things it goes wonderfully with is Dungeness crab, which just happens to be in season right now. To prepare the peeled and cored apples, cut each half into 1⁄4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into thirds. Place the apples in a small bowl and toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the pieces. You can prepare the apple mixture up to an hour ahead. If you coat the apples with the dressing any longer than that they will absorb too much of the vinaigrette, which

overwhelms the apple flavor For the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, mustard, salt, and vanilla in a container, then whisk in the oils. I designed this vinaigrette to go with the salad of Fuji apples, baby greens and roasted hazelnuts. It’s also a wonderful dressing to have on hand for any number of your winter salads incorporating fresh greens, fruits and nuts. The hint of vanilla gives it a lovely toasty quality

1 to 2 servings 1. Combine 1⁄2 cup canola oil and 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let the oil heat slowly, and, once it is hot, fry the garlic slices until they are deep golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate. 2. Crush the garlic slices into small pieces, and reserve 1 tablespoon to make the rice. (Save the oil for stir-fries and salad dressings, and the remaining garlic for salad topping.) 3. Pour 2 teaspoons canola oil and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil into a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat, then add 11⁄2 cups cooked Japanese short-grain (sushi) rice, using a wooden spoon or paddle to break it up. Stir-fry until the rice is coated in the oil and warmed through, a few minutes, shaking the pan to keep the rice moving. 4. Sprinkle with 1⁄4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar. Pour 1 tablespoon sake and 1 tablespoon mirin around the edges of the pan, and stir them in, then sprinkle in 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce, stir-frying just until the rice is coated. 5. Add the tablespoon of fried garlic pieces and 1 tablespoon thinly sliced shiso leaves (or scallions, if you prefer) and continue stir-frying another minute or two, until the rice is glossy but dry. Taste, and add a little more soy sauce as needed. 6. Scrape the fried rice onto a plate, sprinkle it with 1 tablespoon thinly sliced nori, and serve hot.

Seek the savory side of chocolate in the new year Because your craving for that cocoa flavor doesn’t end when the holidays do. By Melissa D’Arabian Associated Press

While I still pay attention to what I eat during the holidays, I nonetheless allow plenty of small splurges. And those splurges mostly can be summed up in one word: chocolate. Trouble is, the holidays eventually pass, but my cravings for the deep flavor of a perfectlyroasted cocoa bean linger. Even more than the sweetness that accompanies most chocolate desserts, I miss the unctuous coating cocoa leaves on the palate. But who says healthy eating must mean the end of that

strategy has me leaning toward savory dishes because they need no sugar for me to appreciate the wonderful flavor of the cocoa. Among the most classic choices — and one of my favorites — is Mexican mole, a thick, spicy sauce based on cocoa or chocolate that traditionally takes a couple of days to develop its rich flavors. But I have four hungry kids who aren’t willing to wait days for chocolate, sweet or savory. So I have developed a version of mole that takes under an hour. Does it capture all the flavor of a two-day mole? Nope. But for a recipe that shaves 47 hours off my labor, I think it still does a pretty darned good job. And you can take comfort in knowing that you’re getting all the delicious benefits and satisfaction of chocolate without the

In a large saute pan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the chicken and brown until golden on all sides, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander and cinnamon, then cook, stirring, until very fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and let cook for 3 more minutes. Add the chipotles, orange zest and prune juice, then cook an additional minute, stirring. Add the stock and let simmer until the onion is fairly soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool for several minutes. Pour or spoon carefully into a blender, then add the almond butter, chocolate and lime juice. Let sit for a minute in the hot liquid. Blend carefully — low at first, then at higher speed — until the sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Add more stock if the sauce is too thick. Return the chicken to the pan (no need to clean it)

that complements the nuts and some cheeses. Even shavings of a goodquality Swiss or extra-aged Gouda would work. Makes about 11⁄4 cup. Note: If you have trouble finding the hazelnut oil, or you don’t want to invest in the expense, simply use all canola oil. To serve, arrange the mixed greens on individual salad plates. Divide the apple mixture among the salads. Top each serving with a portion of the cheese and then a portion of the hazelnuts. Drizzle an extra bit of the vinaigrette over the greens and around the edges of the salad. Alternatively: You could substitute Feta or cheddar cheese for the blue cheese. Another serving option would be to assemble the entire salad on a large platter instead of individual salad plates. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Warm lamb and black-eye pea salad 12 1-ounce slices of rare, roasted leg of lamb (cold) sliced 1/8-inch thick 1 cup fresh black eye peas, blanched (or, see note below) 2 or 3 slices bacon, diced 1 small red onion, diced 1 tablespoon chopped shallots 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1 ⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 ⁄8 cup Champagne vinegar (if unavailable, use white wine vinegar) 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 ⁄4 cup tomato concasse (see note below) Pinch of cayenne pepper 8 to 10 ounces of frisee (another term for “curly endive”; see note below) scallions Salt & pepper to taste This was one of the daily specials I enjoyed several summers ago at Bistro Roti, a wonderful downtown San Francisco restaurant overlooking the Bay Bridge. Chef Manuel Goodman was kind enough to share his wonderful creation. The lamb they used was grown to order on a Napa Valley farm, and then carefully grilled right there in their dining room on their custom-made rotisserie. Although you don’t have access to the same supplier, it’s worth

selecting the finest quality lamb you can to prepare this dish, it’s worth the effort. Saute bacon gently to render fat, add onions, shallots and garlic, and simmer to allow flavors to bloom. Add peas, thyme, olive oil, vinegar, and cayenne. Cook for 3 minutes, then reduce heat and add tomatoes, scallions, salt and pepper. Keep warm. Arrange slices of lamb, three slices on each plate. Warm slightly in oven. In a large bowl, toss black eye pea mixture with the frisse. (The black eye pea mixture acts as a warm vinaigrette for the salad.) Remove frisse from the bowl and place in center of the plate. Sprinkle any remaining pea mixture over the frisse and lamb. Drizzle remaining oil over the plates and serve immediately. Notes: Fresh black eye peas are the best, but dried peas can be used. Cook first by following package directions. ... From the French, “concasser”, the coarse chopping of food with a knife. This means simply peeled and seeded tomatoes that are chopped in preparation for cooking. In this instance, the tomatoes should be cut into small dice. ... If unavailable, I suggest a mixed collection of baby dandelion greens (or very tender mature dandelion greens), arugula, radicchio, and escarole.

The Tree of Life

St. Mary Magdalen Mrs. Houghton’s 3rd Grade Class

The tree would tell me how old it is and what type of tree it is. Then I would ask the tree how everything has changed around him. The tree would tell about all the exciting people who moved in and changed the city. He would also tell about the scary storms he had survived. Then he would say that he’s lucky to be himself. By Samara Once I lived with a tree. The tree would talk to me every day. The tree said, “Can you water me?” I said, “Yes!” the next day he asked me, “Can you read me a story?” I said, “Fine.” Then I read the story. I read Goodnight Bunny. By Emily

ach year, a tree grows a new layer of wood under its bark. By counting these layers, called rings, you can discover the age of a tree.

I have been on many adventures. I will only tell you three. Once I started growing these red things. Secondly I met this little man, I guess he was a leprechaun. Thirdly, I was in World War 2. I almost got killed. By Lindsey

This year, after you take the decorations off your Christmas tree, count its rings! One ring equals one year. (The bark is not a ring.) Can you find out the age of your tree?

“Hi! I’m a palm tree. My name is Kookakoo.! I am 306 years old. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. I have a mom and dad. They are really nice. For pets I have 2 salmon, Sally and Ted. By Natalie

My name is Dr. Cypress Sapling. I’m a dendrochronologist. What’s that? Well, a dendrochronologist is a scientist who studies the rings of trees.

Once upon a time I was walking around the woods and suddenly I heard psst. I jumped when I heard it. I turned around and saw a tree with a face! Then I asked the tree,” Who are you?” then the tree answered, “I am Big Tree, and who are you?” I said, “MY name is Emiko. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?” The tree said, “Sure, I have been living for many years. I love kids, looking up at the sky, and feeling the air. I am not able to move a lot. I can change the color on my leaves each season. Then I had to tell Big Tree I had to go home so I said, “Big Tree I have to go home and eat dinner. It was nice meeting you, and I hope to see you again soon. Bye, bye.” And the Big Tree said, “See you later, bye.”By Emiko

he rings of a tree can also show what the climate of the forest was during different years. Look at the tree trunk pictured above. Some of the rings are wide and some of them are thin. A wide ring tells us that this was a good year for growing. There was the right amount of water and sunlight. Drought causes slower growth and narrow rings. Dark spots tell us that the tree survived a fire that year.

Cascade View Elementary Mrs. Craig’s 5th Grade Class I talked to a Butternut tree. And I asked it. “Can you tell me about your life?” “Yes.” “I have had a nice life. I have seen and talked to your grandfather.” “Kerry” “I have seen the Hallmark family grow up here. Your family can be really nice, kind and crazy. Your cat “Tilly” she hurts me. Well bye,” Thank you By Annika

My Christmas tree survived a fire one year. What year was that? In what year was my tree planted? Is my tree older than you? Find the ring that grew in 2011. Was this a good growing year for the tree?

By reading the rings of trees, dendrochronologists can read the story of our planet, stories that reside in living trees and in logs used to build ancient buildings. Tree rings have told of weather patterns that lead to severe fires. They have revealed century-long droughts, insect plagues and times of volcanic eruptions. Standards Link: Life Science: When the environment changes, plant growth and survival are affected.

You realise(realize) that we don’t think that it’s silly to talk to a pet. So have you ever thought about talking to a tree? I talked to my Salix Babylonica Weeping Willow, and her name is Samantha. I asked her what she saw in her old life. She said nothing and just stood there. I asked her again. She finally spoke up. She said flowers blooming. Trees sprouting. Wind blowing and so much more. By Stephanie If I were to talk to a tree it would say in my life ive seen many things ive seen happiness and sadness, “have you ever seen something(some) scary things” I have seen chainsaws, axes, fire. By Alex “Hello Mr. Silver Mapple(Maple) Tree” “in all the years you lived what have you seen?” I asked him he said I started in Spokane then drove here to Snohomish. The kids climbed me. There was a nice owl who lived in me. A mean raccoon. One time a bald eagle lived in me. They were all nice except the raccoon he was always grumpy. “How does the weather effect you,” I asked. All weather is good except lightning. “Thank you Mr Silver Mapple(Maple) goodbye.”By Ryan

Standards Link: Math: Students use strategies, skills and concepts in finding solutions.

Core sample from living tree

I don’t have to cut down trees to read their rings. Using a special tool called an increment borer, I can take a core sample from a living tree. A core cample is about the size of a soda straw, and the rings look like lines. I found an old log cabin while hiking last week. I took a core sample from the logs to find the age of the cabin.

GRANDPARENTING

DAILY CROSSWORD

Kind girl at home is mean girl at school By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: I have never even had problem one with my granddaughter Kelly. Sometimes I think she is too good to be true. Kelly is considerate, patient, even-tempered, helpful and tidy around me. I mean always! That’s the way she’s been brought up. Besides all that, she is a budding beauty. Kelly just turned 11 but is already knocking the boys dead with her looks. Her mother was a runner-up Miss Tennessee. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. So you can imagine the shock when I learned she had another side to her. Her mother sort of broke down last week on the phone when I asked about Kelly. She said Kelly was becoming “manipulative” and “catty” and even a “bully” with girls in her age group. My daughter keeps receiving angry phone calls from parents of girls that Kelly has put through the emotional ringer. One mother said Kelly made her daughter feel scared to go to school. Another mother said Kelly pulled a chair out from underneath her daughter and they all laughed as she lay on the ground crying. My daughter

said there was more but I had heard enough. What am I to make of this? What turns my granddaughter into a devil when she is such a perfect angel around me? — Flabbergasted, Kingsport, Tennessee Dear Flabbergasted: Sounds like you’re dealing with what is commonly known as a “mean girl” in today’s popular culture. Although it may be customary to think of grandsons as naturally aggressive, more granddaughters are co-opting this behavior. Mean girls may know their place around grandparents, but turn savage in the company of their peer group. What’s even more alarming is that granddaughters are dishing it out at an earlier age. Instead of being confined to the teenage years, parents and school counselors report mean girl behaviors in preschool and grade school years. Even kindergarten girls can be subjected to social warfare, bullying, name-calling and exclusion. What’s the cause of this uptick in social aggression? Some observers point to an earlier onset of puberty — often a by-product of being overweight — that floods immature nine-year-olds with hormones. Others point to

increased portrayals of social aggression in TV shows and movies grandchildren view. What passes for entertainment is about being rude, nasty and crass, and comedy often boils down to making fun of other people. Girls are much more likely than boys to model these behaviors. (It’s worth noting that when aggression is depicted in popular media, the perpetrator is often a physically attractive female, like your granddaughter.) Another contributing factor are parents who encourage their children to be the top dog at any cost, or fail to nip this behavior in the bud. All in all, it’s a sad commentary on modern life.

1 “___ Don’t Preach”

(#1 Madonna hit)

Dear Abby: I am 30 and my husband, “Brent,” is 35. We have had some financial troubles lately and recently had to move in with my mother-in-law. My question is, how old should a child be before his mother quits walking around naked in front of him? My mother-in-law still walks around completely nude in front of Brent and his 39-year-old brother. Although she is in good health, she always seems to need Brent’s help getting in and out of the shower. She also parades nude in front of me, and it makes me very uncomfortable. I have talked to Brent about it a few times, and he said she’s been this way his whole life. Is this normal behavior? Am I overreacting? I have a daughter, and I don’t get naked in front of her. How do I approach this without causing hurt feelings? — Covered Up In The Midwest Dear Covered Up: Obviously, in the household that your husband was raised, this behavior WAS normal. I am puzzled, however, that your mother-in-law needs help getting in and out of the shower. What are the “boys” supposed to do — scrub her back? Because her nudity makes you uncomfortable, the most tactful way to approach this would be for Brent to explain to his mother you were not raised this way, and that you both would appreciate it if she’d wear a robe when you’re around. It’s worth a try. Dear Abby: My sister has been seeing a married man for two years. He has told her the only reason he is staying in this loveless marriage is for his daughter. His wife found out midway through this “relationship,” but forgave him when he swore he would RIP HAYWIRE

stop, which of course he didn’t. When I told my sister how wrong this relationship is and that she deserves better, I ended up alienating her. I have recently learned that his wife just had a second child, and my sister is pregnant. I’m sick to my stomach with all of this. She refuses to see how horrible “the man she loves” really is. She says she is fine raising this child alone, and if her lover is in their lives she will be satisfied with that. I am the only one freaking out about this. How do I deal with it and not totally lose my sister? — Freaking Out In Illinois Dear Freaking Out: Your sister is an adult. She has made her choices and may have to learn the hard way what you have been trying to tell her. Realize that as much as you love her, you cannot live her life for her. Let her know you’re there for her and the baby, because she’s going to need all the support she can get. Dear Abby: If I sit at the end of a pew in church and someone comes in after me insisting I move because it’s his/her “favorite” seat, should I do it or ask the person to sit somewhere else? — Got Here First In Pennsylvania Dear G.H.F.: If you’re sitting in God’s house, you should be on your best behavior.

the king of clubs. South then shrugged and tried a spade to his king. Down he went when the defense took two spades. South’s play was hardly a model of efficiency. After he takes the ace of clubs, he should lead the queen of trumps to dummy’s king, ruff a club high and draw the last trump with the ace. He goes to the ace of hearts and discards a heart on the king of clubs. When East-West follow, South ruffs a club high and returns to dummy by leading his deuce of trumps to the six. He can discard a spade

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, Jan. 7, the seventh day of 2015. There are 358 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Jan. 7, 1927, commercial transatlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York and London. On this date: In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei began observing three of Jupiter’s moons (he spotted a fourth moon almost a week later). In 1789, America held its first presidential election as voters chose electors who, a month later, selected George Washington to be the nation’s first chief executive. In 1800, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, was born in Summerhill, New York. In 1894, one of the earliest motion picture experiments took place at the Thomas Edison studio in West Orange, New Jersey, as Fred Ott was filmed taking a pinch of snuff and sneezing. In 1904, the Marconi International

Marine Communication Company of London announced that the telegraphed letters “CQD” would serve as a maritime distress call (it was later replaced with “SOS”). In 1942, the Japanese siege of Bataan began during World War II. (The fall of Bataan three months later was followed by the notorious Death March.) In 1949, George C. Marshall resigned as U.S. Secretary of State; President Harry S. Truman chose Dean Acheson to succeed him. In 1955, singer Marian Anderson made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, in Verdi’s “Un Ballo in Maschera.” The opening of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa was televised for the first time. In 1963, the U.S. Post Office raised the cost of a first-class stamp from 4 to 5 cents. In 1979, Vietnamese forces captured the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge government. Associated Press

Preview of midseason TV offerings Who will win Lady Mary’s heart on “Downton Abbey”? Is there any life left in “American Idol”? Are Hannah and her “Girls” friends finally ready to grow up?

In addition to returning favorites, viewers can expect a huge batch of brand-new offerings, including the highly anticipated “Breaking Bad” prequel, “Better Call Saul,” the hip-hop melodrama, “Empire,” and even a modern take on “The Odd Couple” with Matthew Perry.

(8 p.m. Jan. 6, ABC). ■ “Empire”: A musical soap about a hip-hop mogul (Terrence Howard) with ALS who must pick one of his three sons to inherit his business — all while battling his ex-wife (Taraji P. Henson), who is just out of prison and wants half the company. (9 p.m. Jan. 7, Fox). ■ “Hindsight”: On the eve of her second wedding, a woman timetravels to 1995 New York and gets

Chuck Barney, Contra Costa Times

Jesse L. Martin singing praises of detective work “The Flash,” one of the big hits from the fall season, is hiding a secret. If there is ever a musical showdown with other TV programs, they have an all-star team. The heavyweight musical member of the group is Jesse L. Martin. You might not be aware of his singing credentials since Martin has been playing TV detectives — first on “Law & Order” and now on “The Flash.” But he showed a little of that skill with his guest-starring role on “Smash.” His breakthrough came

in Jonathan Larson’s Broadway musical “Rent” in 2005. He reprised the role in the feature film version of the musical. As for his current cast, Martin says: “We want to star a flash band. Everyone can play an instrument and sing.” Series star Grant Gustin has an extensive musical theater background. But so far there have been no plans announced for an all-singing episode of “The Flash.” That’s OK with Martin, who who wants to focus on the detective part of his current job. He played a detective on “Law & Order” but the CW series is different. All he had to worry about in the

NBC drama was the usual batch of murderers, rapist, thieves and thugs. “The Flash” deals with criminals who can clone themselves, manipulate the weather and create deadly mists. “ ‘Law & Order’ was so very interesting to me because what I got to do was explore New York along with getting to work with some of the best actors New York City had to offer,” Martin says. “I did that for 10 years so as far as I am concerned that’s done. Now, here I am in a whole new world and I get to do things I’ve never done before.” One of those things is to act in front of a green screen. This is a way that special effects — such as

The Flash being able to run 600 mph — can be created. It’s a long way from the nightly shows on Broadway. Martin didn’t think of himself back then as only a stage performer. The one thing that was on his mind was just landing a job that would earn him is Actors’ Equity card. “Once I got that, I thought I had totally made it,” Martin says. “Now, I have more than I ever imagined.” He can imagine another return to Broadway. But that will have to be worked in with “The Flash,” which is off and running at top speed. Rick Bentley, The Fresno Bee
