Murder confession alleged Wendell Morris Jr. testifies he wasn’t acting as a clergyman when Alan Smith admitted killing his wife. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Alan Smith allegedly confessed to killing his wife to a man he barely knew and then had the man baptize him hours later. Wendell Morris Jr. testified Wednesday that Smith came to

him for help in June 2013. The two had met at a church potluck a few weeks earlier. Smith was a suspect in his wife’s killing and his relationship with a mentally ill woman was unraveling. He and the woman recently had been asked not to return to the church that Morris attended. “I’m walking off the ledge,”

Morris recalled an emotional Smith saying as they sat outside a Seattle Starbucks. Morris wanted to share God’s teachings with Smith. He also wanted to make sure the Bothell man was being truthful with him about the death of Smith’s wife. Morris pressed Smith for an answer during their second meeting. “‘I want you to know I did it. I did it to her,’” Morris quoted Smith saying during testimony

Wednesday. The admission came as the two walked along Lake Union in Seattle, he said. A couple of days later Morris called police and repeated the conversation to detectives. Smith was arrested that day, four months after Susann Smith, 37, was found beaten, stabbed and drowned in her Bothell home. Snohomish County See TRIAL, back page, this section

Real estate agent Toby Barnett takes a moment Tuesday to position his DJI Phantom 2 drone during a portrait outside a home he is selling in Bothell. Barnett has been using a drone since October to capture aerial footage inside and out of houses he is listing.

the buzz

BOTHELL — Toby Barnett set the small, white, four-rotor drone down on the driveway, stepped back and powered it up. The drone zoomed up above the two-story Bothell home, buzzing like a cloud of angry hornets. The drone swept around the home, shooting video that Barnett will use in listing it for sale. Then he brought the craft in low, threading it between a trellis and up to the home’s front door. Aerial video “just has that wow factor,” said the Marysville-based real estate agent — and self-described tech geek. And it can be done quickly and cheaply with a drone — or unmanned aerial system (UAS), as they are called by the aerospace industry. Real estate photography is just one of myriad potential commercial uses for drones. The commercial and civil UAS markets could be worth about $8 billion a year over the next decade, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. However, growth in those markets has been hampered by lack of regulations. Commercial uses have been banned altogether while the Federal Aviation Administration works on how to integrate drones that weigh less than 55 pounds into the national airspace. The FAA is well into the process but won’t say when it plans to have a proposed rule finished. In the meantime, the agency is granting case-by-case exemptions. The FAA granted its first exemption for use in real estate to an agent in Arizona in early January. Barnett applied for one earlier this month but doesn’t expect to hear back for several months. Since October, he has used a drone to film seven homes as test cases for the safe-operating procedures and maintenance program that he outlined in his FAA application. Last week, the FAA granted two more exemptions, both for aerial photography and cinematography. So far, the agency has approved 16 exemptions out of nearly 300 applications nationwide. Drones are great for shooting real estate, especially large properties and homes with desirable views, Barnett said.

OSO MUDSLIDE

A team effort for victim’s mother Randi Green, who shared a love of the Seahawks with her son, Denver Harris, is going to the Super Bowl thanks to family and friends. By Kari Bray Herald Writer

DARRINGTON — Denver Harris’ favorite colors were Seahawks blue and green. He liked red a lot, too, his mom said. But Randi Green steered her son toward their favorite team’s colors. He loved to deck himself out in Seahawks gear and watch Denver Harris the games. The 14-year-old came from a family of dedicated fans. “I’d be screaming at the TV and he’d say, ‘Mom, you know they can’t hear you,’” Green recalled. They might be able to hear her Sunday. She’s going to the Super Bowl to cheer on the team that provided a special bond for her and her son. Denver was one of 43 people killed in the Oso mudslide last year. Friends have described him as fun and funny, with a lot of energy and a love for sports and the outdoors. This year, Green threw herself into football in her son’s memory. “He loved the Seahawks,” she said. “The Seahawks have been amazing for me to focus on and get my mind off things.” When the team secured a spot in the Super Bowl, Green’s friends and family wanted to make sure she could be there. “We know that Denver’s cheering his mom on up there,” said Julie Newberry, a family friend. She helped coordinate a fundraiser to pay for Green’s trip to Super Bowl XLIX. People donated airline miles to get her to Arizona and offered places to stay once she landed. Newberry asked her friend Tony Mace to help her raise money for the tickets. Mace is a firefighter who helped with search efforts and volunteered with North County Family Services after the mudslide. He started an online campaign for Green five days ago See TEAM, back page, this section

Cat hit by car, buried and then crawls from grave Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Bart the cat was hit by a car, buried and seemingly crawled back from the dead. Earlier this month, a car hit the 1½-year-old cat in Tampa. Bart’s owner was so distraught, he couldn’t stand the thought of burying him, so he asked neighbor to dig a shallow grave. Five days later, on Jan. 21, a matted and injured Bart emerged, meowing for food. “At first it blew me away,” said Dusty Albritton, the neighbor who buried Bart. “All I knew was this cat was dead and ‘Pet Sematary’ is real.’ Bart had a broken jaw, a ruptured eye and a torn-up face. He was dehydrated and hungry, but alive.

Owner Ellis Hutson didn’t know what to do. “It was unbelievable,” he told The Tampa Bay Times. “I’ve never seen anything like that before.” Hutson got in touch with the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, which through the Save-A-Pet Medical Fund will help cover the costs of Bart’s care. On Tuesday, the cat underwent surgery to remove an eye, wire his jaw shut and insert a feeding tube, which cost more than $1,000. The agency’s executive director Sherry Silk said Bart should recover in about six weeks and will be going home with Hutson. “He’s purring, even with all these injuries,” Silk said. “I can’t even imagine how awful he must have felt. He’s just a really wonderful, patient, loving cat.”

NEW YORK — The “Ghostbusters” reboot has set its all-female leads with Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and a pair of “Saturday Night Live” performers. Director Paul Feig announced his stars by posting their pictures on Twitter on Tuesday. Joining McCarthy and Wiig are Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Feig tweeted that Sony Pictures will release the film in July 2016. Production is expected to begin later this year. The new “Ghostbusters” updates the original 1984 film and the 1989 sequel. Wiig and McCarthy both starred in “Bridesmaids,” which Feig directed. He has since worked with McCarthy on all of his films, including their upcoming action comedy “Spy.” McKinnon joined “SNL” in 2012. Jones first came to the show as a writer and transitioned into a featured player last fall.

“For your average residential property, it’s probably not a gamechanger,” he said. But it could be for developers building and selling large, planned communities. Agriculture will be the biggest commercial market driver, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, which is based in Arlington, Virginia. Farming uses include monitoring plant health and growth. Detecting disease and pest outbreaks enables farmers to more efficiently and selectively spray pesticides and other treatments, according to the association’s 2013 economic report. Other potential uses include mail and package delivery, news coverage and scientific research. Public safety is another big potential use, such as monitoring wildfires or finding lost hikers. However, substantial technological and regulatory hurdles have to be cleared. What kind of training do drone operators have to have?

What about people’s expectations for privacy? How can drones be used safely in crowded airspaces, such as around Paine Field or Seattle-Tacoma International Airport? The drone that crashlanded this week on the White House lawn underscores how complicated a task the FAA faces. Safety, of course, is a top concern. The FAA received 193 reports of drones entering restricted airspace

or having close calls with airplanes in a nine-month period last year — the most recent data available. Two of the close calls were reported by pilots flying near Paine Field. The airport’s administration was not aware of the reports, said Bill Dolan, Paine Field’s deputy director. “It doesn’t take a lot of damage in the right place to bring an airplane down,” he said.

Bird strikes, for example, led to the now famous “Miracle on the Hudson” in 2009, when US Airways Flight 1549 safely landed shortly after losing power in both engines. It had flown through a flock of Canada geese after departing New York’s LaGuardia International Airport. “The assumption is that the average kid who gets one for Christmas doesn’t have a lot of training with it,” Dolan said.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

For now, small drones used recreationally are regarded as “model” aircraft and must stay below 400 feet above ground level and not fly within three miles of airports. On Thursday, the FAA issued a press release reminding users that Sunday’s Super Bowl is a “no drone zone.” Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

Dispute over coach fuels distrust

SEAHAWKS WATCH

Some Cascade High parents tell the Everett School Board the removal, and reinstatement, of Steve Bertrand only adds to their dissatisfaction with the district.

The 12th Man’s guide to Super Bowl activities in Snohomish County

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Coach Steve Bertrand may be returning to the track at Cascade High School next year, but in some parents’ eyes, the damage has been done. A few parents took to the podium at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Everett School Board

to warn the board that there will be ramifications next year when the district is expected to put another bond issue on the ballot. “If you’re going to pass the next needed bond or to retain your seats, you need to start rebuilding trust now,” said Ian Boswell, president of the parentteacher booster group, Bruin Community Parents.

In 2014, the school district tried and failed twice to get voter approval for a $259 million bond issue to build a new high school, a new elementary school and make other improvements in the district. The district’s handling of Bertrand’s case, Boswell said, has made him and other parents angry. It added to mistrust he said they already felt toward the district for the previous bond measures and the new $28.3 million district administration building. “You are turning positive

taxpaying parents into ‘absolutely no’ voters,” Boswell said. Dispute over the Cascade coach has some parents distrustful. Everett Public Schools issued a press release late Friday that said Bertrand would return to the Cascade cross-country team as assistant coach. That followed weeks of protest after Bertrand was notified shortly before Christmas his contract would not be renewed for the 2015-2016 school year. Bertrand held the coaching See SCHOOL, Page A6

The U.S. and POW-MIA flags fly over a courtyard entry to the Edmonds Public Safety complex. But thanks, in part, to the efforts of Ron Clyborne, the flags will soon fly over a Veterans Plaza.

One veteran looking out for others By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Ron Clyborne dreams big. Seeing that the city had no veterans memorials, Clyborne, a Vietnam vet, decided to do something about it. “Three years ago, we had nothing other than an idea,” he said. That idea has since evolved into a plan for a $450,000 Veterans Plaza in Edmonds. The 5,500-square-foot memorial park will be sited on the grounds of the city’s Public Safety building at 121 5th Ave. The goal is to develop an area so that veterans, their families, and the rest of the community have a place to reflect “and be appreciative,” Clyborne said. Twelve people or groups

submitted proposals for the design of the memorial park. “We went through a pretty rigorous process with citizens and city staff looking at designs we thought would be most fitting for the space and something that would really honor the veterans past, current and future,” said former City Council member Strom Peterson, who was elected in November to the Legislature. The Seattle landscape architectural firm Site Workshop was

selected to design the plaza. The firm also has assisted with the development of a new children’s play area at City Park. “We looked at many highprofile memorials around the country and the world for inspiration,” said Site Workshop project manager Brian Bishop. The largest single element in the plaza will be a 5,000-squarefoot memorial garden. Plans for a memorial wall are being developed, but it will include elements honoring the entire

U.S.military as well as separate recognition for its five branches. The city approved spending $10,000 to jump start the first third of the park’s design, said Carrie Hite, the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services director. The local VFW post is coordinating fund raising for the project. Clyborne said he hopes to be able to raise all the money in the next year. “It’s going to be an interesting challenge,” he said. Clyborne said it was his commander at VFW Post 8870 who first pointed out that there was no veterans memorial in Edmonds. “I said, ‘Wow. You’re right.

Cornfield: Old Businessman enters council race data leads to tiff By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

From Page A3

The problem with that remark is that it is based on information from 2013, when the House passed a transportation package and seven members representing the county voted for it. Thirteen members told The Daily Herald last week that they want to act on a transportation proposal this year. Inslee and his advisers knew the cited number of ambivalent legislators was old. But they won’t say why they chose to use it, thus presenting a misleading picture of the level of support in the delegation. Instead, the comment created the impression of a nexus between the perceived lack of support from Snohomish County and the slim sum of $82.8 million for county projects in the governor’s 12-year plan. Most of that money is for an off-ramp on Highway 526 and the widening of a road leading to the Port of Everett. Inslee’s team reacted by denying he said what he said. “The governor said in Arlington what he has been saying all around the state for two years; lawmakers need to do more to pass a transportation package,” communications director David Postman wrote in an email. “But that has absolutely nothing to do with the list of projects in his package.” Inslee and his advisers spent last Thursday and Friday scrambling to control the damage by contacting lawmakers and blaming the messenger — The Daily Herald — for printing what the governor said, claiming his comments were mischaracterized. Inslee is well-schooled in the practice of politics. He knew what he was saying and who would hear it. Perhaps he didn’t anticipate how bad it might sound. Then it seems someone realized the consequences and the need to control the damage. Passage of a transportation package in the Legislature.... this year

EVERETT — A businessman who has championed commercial passenger flights at Paine Field launched a campaign Tuesday for the Snohomish County Council, saying he’s embarrassed by political infighting. Greg Tisdel is challenging fellow Democrat Brian Sullivan, the incumbent in District 2. The district encompasses the Everett, Mukilteo and Tulalip areas. “I like to be in the back and get things done and have people ask, ‘How did that happen?’” Tisdel said. Tisdel, 60, of Everett, has never held public office, but has long been active in economic development, government policy and civic groups. He ran Tiz’s Doors, an Everett door company, for

will require votes from many in the Snohomish County delegation. His performance in Arlington riled them, and they told him so. Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, vented in an email to the governor’s chief of staff. “The number of lawmakers supporting a package that the governor cites (7) is inaccurate, so it makes him look out of touch with our legislative delegation when he repeats this bad information,” Liias wrote. And he reminded the chief of staff that he and Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, are actively engaged in negotiations on a transportation package. “I don’t understand how undercutting your Senate Democratic negotiators back at home helps the governor achieve his goal of passing a bill?” Liias wrote. “I am asking for your help to change the narrative, stop shooting at your allies, and work together to make the comprehensive investments that our state needs.” This kerfuffle is costing Inslee a bit of credibility, a critical commodity for legislating, and, at the same time, it is giving state lawmakers who represent the county a bit of leverage for the coming session. They can press Inslee a little harder to support additional county projects in a final transportation package — if there is one. Some members might push to secure his endorsement of provisions in the operating or capital budgets that might not otherwise get his attention. And there might be a lawmaker or two pushing the governor to publicly support a bill they value, much as he’s asking of them on transportation. Turnabout is a fair legislating technique the governor may be mastering soon. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

OLYMPIA — A majority of lawmakers representing Snohomish County did something Wednesday morning they rarely do during a session — meet. Sixteen of the 21 members whose districts include part of the county chatted about what they’re working on and broader issues like higher education and transportation on which they might unite their energies. There was no agenda for the 7 a.m. meeting that lasted 45 minutes. No votes were taken, though they agreed it turned out well enough to do it again soon. “It was a good meet-andgreet to get to know one another,” Sen. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, said afterward. Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, who is in her fifth term, described it as “one of the best ones I’ve attended.” “It was a real opportunity for us to begin building

position for 35 years. His teaching position at the school was never at stake. His removal as coach came after he encouraged track students to promote the legislative campaign of fellow Cascade teacher Mike Wilson, although the district has declined to give the reason for Bertrand’s removal, citing confidentiality of personnel decisions. “Any personnel issue or student issue that impacts people raises questions because of the obligation and responsibility we have to maintain confidentiality,” district spokeswoman Mary Waggoner said. But it also wasn’t the first time Bertrand had gotten into trouble with the district. A cross-country teambuilding exercise he led on Mount Dickerman in 1991 led to the deaths of two students.

a working relationship on the issues of importance to Snohomish County,” she said. There have been periodic attempts to get the delegation together, most recently on the question of where to put a University of Washington branch campus. That didn’t turn out well; the county’s contingent couldn’t agree on a location so the Legislature dropped the idea. Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, who is in her second year, and Sen. Kirk Pearson, who is in his second decade in the Legislature, organized Wednesday’s event. “There was great conversation which, in the short time I’ve been here, we’ve never had,” Robinson said. Pearson said, “It turned

out really positive just hearing from everybody.” Higher education emerged as a subject of common interest because of Washington State University’s expanding presence in Everett, Robinson said. Transportation also is on everyone’s radar, she said. Each of the seven legislative districts in the county has unmet needs for roads, bridges, ferries or buses. And everyone is eyeing the capital budget as a possible source of money for community and countywide projects. Members of the delegation are well-positioned to influence the conversations around these matters. For example, Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, is chairwoman of the

The students, Erin Montgomery and Christian Isaacson, asked to remain behind in a meadow, then later became lost and fell off a cliff. The families of the students were paid $1.65 million, which came from the district’s insurance pool. About 100 parents protested Bertrand’s removal at the board’s Jan. 13 meeting. But even with Bertrand back with the team, parents say they are still looking for answers. “All the people who worked hard for Steve’s return — all of the people — did it for the right reason,” said Mike Therrell, a retired Cascade teacher. “We are not troublemakers, we are problem solvers.” Therrell suggested the board assemble a panel to interview teachers about the incident to get answers. The panel should not have any district administrators involved, he said. Carl Shipley, whose daughter runs on the Cascade team, went further, calling on the board to hold a vote of no confidence in

Superintendent Gary Cohn and not renew his contract when it comes up for review in the spring. “The truth is, Gary Cohn is the face of this district, and this district is faltering,” Shipley said. “As a parent, community member, voter and taxpayer, I promise to make it my priority to help everyone understand that no bond should pass while Gary Cohn remains in control of our tax money in this district,” Shipley said. Rebuilding trust among the community may take some time. School Board President Pam LeSesne said that she and the other board members have to keep what’s best for the students in mind with every action they take, and that also extends to actions that involve personnel. “Just as we do the best we can for our students, our staff and our teachers are looking to see are we honoring that privacy agreement we have with them,” LeSesne said.

Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, is the ranking Democrat on the Republican-run transportation committee and Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, is the No. 2 Democrat. Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, is vice chairman of the House committee. Five members of the delegation sit on the panel. House Minority Leader Rep. Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, said after Wednesday’s meeting that he’s hopeful it will enable concerns of the county’s diverse population to be fully considered by the delegation on all subjects. “We’ve got some big issues in the county. We’ve got some big challenges in the state,” he said. “I’m hopeful we can be successful in coming to some conclusions (together) on them.”

It was a good meet-and-greet to get to know one another.

A New Yorkbased company, Propeller Investments, is trying to get permission to build a commercial air terminal at the county airport.

county-level government shutdown in Washington’s history. The sides eventually reached a compromise. Sullivan has been in the minority of a 3-2 political split on the council, siding with the executive on a series of contentious issues. Sullivan, 56, will be trying for his third four-year term on the council. He has previously served in the state House, as Mukilteo’s mayor and as a Mukilteo city councilman. Sullivan recently moved to Everett. Sullivan says his top priority is securing more state money for county transportation projects, which received little funding in Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed budget.

Never content to s to p l e a r n i n g , B i l l wo u l d subsequently earn his Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science and then achieve a coveted Masters in the same study from Emery Riddle University. His pledge of allegiance a n d s e r v i c e “ to G o d a n d County” would extend from Scouting, and Military service into 42 years of Civil Service; retiring at the esteemed grade of GS13 in 2008.

T h ey e n j oye d m a ny, many, wonderful vacations together, tending to their beautiful yards, and raising s ev e r a l d o g s w h o m t h e y adopted as ‘their’ children together. As he grew older, he was particularly proud of being a grandpa and great grandpa. When he could no longer drive, he still spent time in the yard with his wife and dogs, and enjoyed visiting parks, zoos, local vista’s: and of course his grandkids and their two dogs at the lake. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 18 year s, Alber ta (Drnjevic) Emmer. He is also survived by his son, Samuel Askew and wife Salli; as well as daughter, Stacee’ Askew.

Hezbollah hits Israeli forces Associated Press

SHEAR YASHUV, Israel — The Lebanese militant Hezbollah group fired a salvo of missiles at an Israeli military convoy in a disputed border area Wednesday, killing two soldiers and triggering deadly clashes that marked the most serious escalation since the sides’ 2006 war. The flare-up, which also left a U.N. peacekeeper dead, added to the regional chaos brought on by neighboring Syria’s civil war. Hezbollah indicated the attack was in retaliation for a Israeli strike on its fighters inside Syria earlier this month. The violence sparked fears in both countries of yet another crippling war between the two foes. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel would respond “forcefully,” and the military fired artillery shell barrages that struck border villages in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah responded with rocket fire on

Israeli military positions. The Israeli military said five anti-tank missiles hit the soldiers as they were traveling near Mount Dov and Chebaa Farms, along a disputed tract of land where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet. The soldiers were in two

unarmored white vehicles without military insignia when they were struck from a distance of about three miles away, according to Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman. Israeli media aired footage showing the charred, smoldering vehicles after the strike,

which also wounded seven Israeli soldiers. At U.N. headquarters in New York, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the U.N. peacekeeper, a Spaniard, was killed in cross-fire after rockets were fired at Israeli positions and Israeli forces responded. He said the cause of death was under investigation. However, Spain’s ambassador to the U.N. blamed Israel for the death of the peacekeeper, identified as 36-year-old Cpl. Francisco Javier Soria Toledo. “It was because of this escalation of violence, and it came from the Israeli side,” Spanish Ambassador Roman Oyarzun Marchesi said at U.N. headquarters. Lebanese security officials said earlier that the peacekeeper was killed by Israeli shelling that struck near a U.N. base inside Lebanon. Rocket and artillery fire continued on both sides of the border for hours after the initial attack.

Boston’s running again It won’t get above freezing for a week, and several more inches of snow are expected. Associated Press BOSTON — Boston bounced back quickly Wednesday from the Blizzard of 2015, with subways, buses and trains up and running again the morning after the storm buried a swath of New England in 2 to 3 feet of snow. Many businesses reopened, as did Logan Airport, and homeowners, motorists and storekeepers dug out with grudging praise for the forecasters, who missed the mark in New York but got it right in New England. Meteorologists had warned that Boston would get more than 2 feet of snow by Tuesday night, and the National Weather Service said the city ended up with 24.4 inches, the sixth-highest total on record. Other areas received around 2 to 3 feet, pretty much as predicted. “They actually got it right,” James Hansen said as he cleared a Boston sidewalk. There was no gloating among the forecasters, who just seemed relieved they were on the money. Pointing up the guesswork factor, the weather team at Boston’s WHDH-TV tweeted a photo of the office snow pool, with pre-storm predictions ranging from 22 to 25.5 inches. As the storm gathered earlier in the week, forecasters had warned that Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey could get 1 to 2 feet of snow. But in the end, they didn’t even see a foot. With snow removal in Boston well under way,

BEIJING — China’s Communist Party is on suicide watch as President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign permeates the government and bureaucracy. The party is asking local cadres to identify the number of “unnatural deaths,” including suicides, of party members in the two years from December 2012, according to notices published on government websites. The time period coincides with the anti-graft drive launched by Xi soon after he became general secretary of the party in late 2012 and

Arizona monitors hundreds for measles PHOENIX — A measles outbreak in Arizona that originated at California’s Disney parks is at risk of dramatically increasing in size as health officials keep tabs on 1,000 people in the state’s most populous areas. The number includes nearly 200 children who could have been exposed at a Phoenix-area urgent care center. Those who weren’t vaccinated have been confined to their homes for 21 days, a standard health practice. Some adults have been asked to wear masks if going out in public. The State Health Services director said it’s possible but unlikely that the outbreak can be contained. Arizona has seven confirmed cases.

It reached 73 degrees at the Rapid City airport. Rapid City and Bismarck also set record high overnight lows on Tuesday.

Pipeline wasn’t inspected A North Dakota official said a pipeline that spilled nearly 3 million gallons of saltwater produced during oil drilling wasn’t inspected by the state prior to being used. An Industrial Commission spokeswoman said Wednesday that the pipeline was installed in July, but a shortage of qualified inspectors means state oversight has been minimal of new small-gathering pipelines. The commission oversees about 20,000 miles of pipeline. Companies are required to file an affidavit stating they followed all state-mandated procedures in building a pipeline.

commuters high-stepped their way through a warren of snowy paths and towering snowbanks that gave the capital an almost alpine feel. Still, bitter cold threatened to complicate efforts to clear clogged streets and restore power. Forecasters warned that it won’t get above freezing in Boston for a week, and several more inches of snow are expected Friday and again over the weekend. Boston is accustomed to big snowstorms, and with ample warning that a blizzard was coming officials mobilized thousands of snowplows and called up the National Guard. Early on, Gov. Charlie Baker, who has been in office just three weeks, made a key decision, ordering a driving ban to give crews a chance to clear the mounting snow off roadways. Baker said he wrestled with that but it “worked pretty much

as we hoped.” “We’ve come out of this in relatively good shape,” he said Wednesday before visiting the hard-hit South Shore area, where the storm breached a seawall and caused flooding. In Marshfield, officials said at least four homes likely will be condemned and at least a dozen more sustained substantial damage after two 80-foot sections of seawall were smashed. Fisherman Tim Mannix was trying to move furniture to secure a sliding door at his home when the ocean struck. “A wave hit at that moment, and bang! Like lightning it hit me right in the face,” he said, his nose showing the damage from the encounter: six fractures, which required numerous stiches. “It was so fast I couldn’t believe it, and down I went.” He said the water came in

from the back of his house, knocked down his back deck, washed through the house and destroyed his front deck. “The house is wrecked,” he said, “75 percent wrecked.” Baker also took a helicopter to Nantucket, where islanders accounted for about half the 7,200 people in Massachusetts still without electricity. Nantucket was lashed with winds gusting to 76 mph. Around Massachusetts, Worcester got 33.5 inches, the highest amount recorded since 1905, and Auburn and Lunenburg each reported 36 inches. Parts of the New Hampshire coastline got 31 inches. Providence, Rhode Island, received around 19 inches. Thirty-one inches piled up in Sanford, Maine, and 33.5 inches in Thompson, Connecticut. Orient, on the eastern end of New York’s Long Island, got about 30 inches.

Corruption crackdown sparks suicides Bloomberg News

ACROSS THE U.S.

warned the party was at risk if it didn’t tackle corruption. The campaign, which has broadened to senior officers in the People’s Liberation Army, has snared at least 100,000 “flies and tigers,” or low- and highlevel officials. “There’s a growing number of official suicide cases reported over the past two years as the anti-corruption campaign intensified,” said Zhang Ming, a political science professor at Renmin University in Beijing. Some officials don’t want “to expose the people behind them, so the easiest way is to commit suicide to protect people above them and their family members.”

The South China Morning Post reported in November that the deputy commissar of China’s navy, Vice Adm. Ma Faxiang, was believed to have committed suicide less than three months after another senior officer fell from a building at a naval complex in Beijing. The paper cited a retired officer it did not identify as linking the Ma news to the anti-corruption drive within the military. Party officials are instructed to complete forms in which they are required to fill in eight columns including name, sex, rank and working unit of the deceased, along with the time and reason for death,

according to the notices on government websites. If the death is deemed suicide, further columns need completion including the location and method of death, plus the status of the investigation into the matter. Officials must try to identify the reason for the suicide from options including involvement in illegal activities, psychological disorders, work pressure, life pressure, family issues or other reasons. For suicides that took place during disciplinary investigations, officials were asked to note whether the probe was against the deceased or a family member or colleague.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has broken its airport passenger record for the second straight year. The agency announced Wednesday that preliminary data shows an estimated 117.1 million passengers used John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia, Stewart International and Atlantic City International airports during 2014. That tops the record set in 2013 by more three million fliers, or roughly a 3 percent jump.

Colorado: Pot souvenirs Tourists who fly in to try legal pot can forget about buying souvenir boxer shorts, socks or sandals with a marijuana leaf on them when passing through the Denver airport. The airport has banned pot-themed souvenirs, fearing the kitsch could taint the state’s image. Marijuana possession and any pot-related advertising were already forbidden. Airport executives extended the ban this month after a retailer sought a free-standing kiosk to sell the boxer shorts and similar items that played off Colorado’s place as the first state to allow recreational marijuana sales.

AROUND THE WORLD Brazil: Water rationing The worst drought to hit Sao Paulo in decades may leave residents with water service only two days a week. Water utility company Sabesp said a five days-off, two days-on system would be a lastditch effort to prevent the collapse of the Cantareira water system. The reservoir is the largest of six that provide water to some 6 million of the 20 million people living in the metropolitan area of the city. The utility said Cantareira is now down to 5.1 percent of its capacity of 264 billion gallons. A water official said Wednesday that “rationing could happen if rainfall does not increase in the reservoir area soon.”

Bahamas: Boater rescue The U.S. Coast Guard has rescued two American boaters stranded on an uninhabited island in the Bahamas. The two U.S. citizens were moving a motorboat from the Turks & Caicos Islands to Fort Pierce, Florida, when the vessel began taking on water. They ran the boat aground on Lady Slipper Cay, a tiny speck of land north of Crooked Island in the sprawling archipelago off Florida’s east coast. A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued the pair Tuesday after receiving a request from Bahamas’ military. From Herald news services

Boeing tamps down expectations The company’s performance easily beat Wall Street’s expectations for 2014. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Boeing posted better-than-expected financial results for 2014 but offered somewhat muted expectations for this year during a call with financial analysts and investors Wednesday. The company’s leadership remains unfazed by low oil prices and is still focused on increasing production rates for the popular

737 and 787 models. Thanks to strong delivery numbers and new orders, fourth-quarter profit rose for the company by 19 percent as commercial jetliner demand remained strong. That easily beat Wall Street expectations and helped shore up Boeing’s weaker defense side. However, the company’s outlook for 2015 is for higher revenue but lower per-share earnings as it continues to bring several new airplane models into production. Boeing executives said in the call that the company will take even longer than previously expected to break even on the 787 Dreamliner program. Even so, the company’s chief financial

officer, Greg Smith, said Boeing hopes this year to break even on the per-unit production cost — the cost to make a single 787 airplane — which, according to analysts, still costs about $25 million to $30 million more than the sales price. “It’s all around, again, being more efficient on each unit and capturing additional unit cost,” Smith said. Plans are in place to improve cost performance, he said. “Again, this is stuff we know how to do. We’ve done it on other programs.” Boeing plans to keep extra workers on the 787 program to maintain the current production rate and continue working

on increasing that rate to 12 airplanes per month in 2016. Boeing has hired hundreds of contract workers in South Carolina to augment its second assembly line there, and it still has a “surge line,” in addition to the main 787 assembly line, in Everett. “Traveled” work on the 787 line decreased last year, but line workers here say low morale on the shop floor is hampering progress. Deliveries were plagued by a shortage of expensive, high-end seats supplied by Zodiac Aerospace, a French company that owns several Washington-based aerospace suppliers. The shortages affected some See BOEING, Page A10

747-8 to be Air Force One Boeing has had trouble selling its latest 747 and has gradually cut production. Herald staff WASHINGTON — In a surprise announcement, the U.S. Air Force on Wednesday said it has chosen Boeing’s Everett-built 747-8 to replace two aging 747200s that serve as Air Force One. The decision does not involve a competitive bidding process. “The Boeing 747-8 is the only aircraft manufactured in the United States” that “meets the necessary capabilities established to execute the presidential support mission,” Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James said in a news release. Boeing has had trouble selling the latest iteration of the 747 and has gradually cut the rate of production in recent years, which many analysts have said signals the demise of the program that brought Boeing to Everett in the 1960s. Today’s Air Force One mission is served by two specially modified Boeing 747-200s, known as VC-25s, which first flew in 1987 and entered service in 1990. Inside Defense reported in December that the Air Force wanted to buy replacements in

2016 with delivery in 2018. Previously, the military had said it didn’t need to take delivery until 2021. But with lagging sales, there seemed to be little chance Boeing could keep the 747 line busy that long. The decision by the Pentagon

to buy 747-8s was made through a special process which authorizes the purchase of commercial aircraft “by other than full and open competition,” the Air Force said. “This decision, in conjunction with the notification of the Air Force’s intent to award a sole

Shell’s Seattle plans irk enviromentalists A plan to allow Royal Dutch Shell PLC to use Seattle’s waterfront as a homeport for its Arctic drilling fleet is drawing opposition from environmental groups. Several state and national groups are urging the Port of Seattle to halt lease negotiations that would allow Shell to use 50 acres of port property across from downtown Seattle. Shell would house drill rigs, icebreakers and other vessels in the winter when it’s not exploring for oil off Alaska’s coast. Port commissioners this month approved moving forward with a short-term lease with Foss Maritime, whose clients include Shell. But environmentalists said Wednesday it’s not consistent with the city’s environmental goals.

Fender’s direct sales irk music retailers LOS ANGELES — Fender’s curvy Stratocasters, Telecasters and Jazz Basses have been musthave features of guitar shop walls for decades. Music retailers, including mom-and-pop shops and big national chains such as Guitar Center, have been among the last bastion of businesses to survive online competition. Consumers like to try before they buy. But just before Christmas, Fender Musical Instruments began selling directly to musicians on its website. Bricks-and-mortar retailers, already hurt by e-commerce sites such as Amazon and eBay, worry that Fender’s online sales could increase competition and even offer lower prices. They also are concerned that other manufacturers such as Gibson Guitar, C.F. Martin & Co. and Ibanez Guitars may pursue similar tactics. “It’s hard to not call it a bit of

Richard McDonald, an executive vice president at Fender, said selling directly to customers will help make musicians more loyal to the brand and help increase sales at local shops. “If this works, their businesses will grow,” he said of retailers. “This strategy is about elevating the brand and getting closer to customers.” Not all retailers believe that. They say if direct sales catch on, players may try out new instruments in physical stores and then order them online from manufacturers, the way many people purchase items such as personal electronics on Amazon after visiting their local Best Buy. Consumers’ behavior has changed so much that they now order eyeglasses online, through such firms as Warby Parker in New York, or even electric cars directly from Tesla.

The nation’s largest prepaid mobile provider, TracFone Wireless, will pay $40 million to settle government claims that it misled smartphone customers with promises of unlimited data service. The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that TracFone promised unlimited data in its advertising, but then drastically slowed down consumers’ data speeds — a practice known as throttling — when they hit a certain limit of data within a 30-day period. In some cases, the FTC said, the company even cut off customers’ data when it ran over the limit. Consumers with phones operated by TracFone who had their service slowed or cut will be able to request a refund.

years ago. The company has struggled to sell the airplanes — called the Terrible Teens — which have required extensive rework and are reportedly heavier than later Dreamliners. Boeing had planned to sell some in 2014, but prospective buyers, including Transaero, backed out. The company is “in active discussions with many customers related to those airplanes,” McNerney said. Boeing plans this year to spend about $2.8 billion for 777X facilities and equipment mostly in Everett, for expansion of the North Charleston, South Carolina, facility for planned 787 rate increases and for other capital investments. The company expects to spend $3.5 billion on research and development in 2015. About two-thirds of that will be on programs for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, especially the 777X, the 787-10 and

Dreamliner production rate increases, with the rest going to defense programs, Smith said. Operating cash flow in 2015 is expected to be “greater than $9 billion, reflecting higher deliveries, strong operating performance, continued 787 productivity and capturing the final C-17 orders,” he said. The company this year is closing the C-17 military transport airplane production line in Long Beach, California. Oil prices have dropped from more than $100 a barrel last year to under $50 now. But McNerney said he isn’t worried about it affecting airlines’ demand for newer, more-fuelefficient airplanes. The lower fuel costs could help increase demand for 777 classic models, principally the 777-300ER, said David Strauss, a financial analyst

with UBS. But “it’s still a pretty long punt,” he said. The present 777 line’s fuel consumption is greater than that planned for the 777X. Both Airbus and Boeing plan to increase production of twin-aisle, long-haul jetliners in coming years. “It’s too many widebody seats,” Strauss said. “Something has to give.” And the most likely candidate for a productionrate cut is the 777 classic, he said. McNerney saw it differently during the conference call from the company’s Chicago headquarters. With no directly competing airplane, “we’re in a fortunate position here, and it’s one that we will shamelessly take advantage of,” McNerney said. The lower oil prices could drive down replacement demand, mostly for singleaisle airplanes, as airlines find it more economical to fly older airplanes more rather than buy new ones, Strauss said.

would be tempered by increased profitability and growth due to lower fuel costs, he said. In the past, drops in fuel prices haven’t hurt backlogs, noted Ken Herbert, an analysts with Canaccord Genuity, in an investment research note issued prior to Boeing’s earnings report. But “considering 50 percent of deliveries today are for replacements, and the backlog is much more geographically diverse, it is difficult to fully model the potential impact of lower fuel prices,” he said. The record backlogs at both Boeing and Airbus are bigger impediments to new orders, said Scott Hamilton, an Issaquah-based aerospace analyst and owner of Leeham Co. “Right now, there’s no rush to order new airplanes because you can’t get them until next decade,” he said.

a more muted view of 2015, saying that adjusted earnings will be between $8.20 and $8.40 per share. Analysts had forecast $8.66 per share, according to FactSet. But the aerospace giant’s 2015 revenue forecast of $94.5 billion to $96.5 billion topped analysts’ consensus forecast of $93.25 billion. Boeing and Airbus continue to benefit as airlines around the world go on a shopping spree, driven by rising demand for air travel and many airlines’ desire to replace older airplanes with new, more fuelefficient ones.

General Dynamics is reaping the benefits from building nuclear subs as well as the world’s biggest, fastest business jets. Fourth-quarter profit beat analysts’ estimates as sales soared at General Dynamics’ ship- and sub-producing unit and the company’s Gulfstream division added two new business aircraft to the family led by the $65 million G650. The results show Chief Executive Officer Phebe Novakovic’s success at investing more at the private-plane unit while cutting costs to cope with declining revenue from some military products. Having a commercial-aviation arm cushions General

Dynamics from the U.S. defense cuts crimping sales at peers such as Northrop Grumman Corp., the maker of the B-2 bomber. “We are well positioned for growth in 2016 and 2017,” Novakovic said Wednesday. The Falls Church, Virginia-based company’s order backlog reached $72 billion at the end of 2014, a 57 percent surge from a year earlier, she said. General Dynamics unveiled two large-cabin jets in October to build on the success of the G650, whose corporate operators include Exxon Mobil, Wal-Mart and Honeywell International. The company also won an $18 billion Navy contract last year for 10 more

Virginia-class attack submarines, the biggest weapons deal by the U.S. in more than a dozen years. “Marine was the standout performer,” Howard Rubel, an analyst with Jefferies LLC, wrote in a note Wednesday. “Gulfstream is benefiting from recent new product launches.” Product diversity helps set General Dynamics apart from peers such as Northrop and Lockheed Martin Corp., the maker of F-35 fighters. Lockheed gets more than 80 percent of its revenue from the U.S. government and is No. 1 in contracts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. General Dynamics is No. 3 and gets about 62 percent of its sales from the U.S., the data show.

IN OUR VIEW | Opening work to former prisoners

Don’t limit chance to find job When someone is released from prison we expect that person to turn his or her life around, get the counseling he or she needs and was ordered to complete, pay restitution and fines, keep community supervision appointments, support himself or herself and, key to most of that, find a job. Finding employment often is tough enough for those with a criminal record. But Washington state hasn’t made it any easier for those with a past conviction, having closed off any job that requires an occupational license. And the list of jobs that require such a license is long and diverse. Anyone leaving prison now can ignore want ads for the following occupations: bartender, cosmetologist, tattoo artist, commercial fisher, most contractors, truck driver, embalmer, engineer, nurse,

dental assistant, health care worker, insurance adjuster, real estate professional, waste management worker, mobile home installer and many others. A report by the Institute for Justice finds 54 occupations requiring a license in Washington, making it the “19th most extensively and onerously licensed state in the nation.” Legislation now in the House, House Bill 1553, sponsored locally by Reps. Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline; Luis Moscoso, D-Bothell; Strom Peterson, D-Edmonds; and Ruth Kagi, D-Shoreline, would allow those with past convictions to petition a superior court judge for a Certificate of Restoration of Opportunities, as reported earlier this week by public radio station KPLU (88.5 FM). Depending on the

seriousness of the crime, after one to three years, those with past convictions who had completed the requirements of their sentences and had not been arrested or convicted of a new crime could, by making an application through the county prosecutor’s office, ask a judge to review his or her record and be cleared to meet the other requirements of an occupational license and apply for work in that career. Sex offenders would not be able to apply for a certificate. And nothing in the law requires a potential employer to hire anyone because the applicant has a certificate. But possession of such a certificate might be further evidence to a potential employee that an applicant is trustworthy and making an effort to be a productive citizen. Other states, including

Arizona, North Carolina and New York have similar programs in place. According to a 2013 report by The Council of State Government’s Justice Center, research showing a direct link between employment and a decreased likelihood to reoffend is limited. But common sense and what research is cited by the report finds that those released from incarceration and who hold jobs in the community and can count on job stability are less likely to reoffend, particularly if the work pays above minimum wage, as is often the case with jobs that require state occupational licenses. If we want those with a criminal history to leave that history behind them, then we shouldn’t complicate their search for work and sentence them to a life of menial, lowpaying jobs.

I’m letting this be a message, Go Hawks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■PARKING SOLUTIONS

Think outside parking lot box

I would be interesting if reporting on the city and county parking discussion was explored beyond simply reporting the situation. What alternatives exist? Careful consideration of the area-wide transportation system seems appropriate. Seems likely that some benefit to the whole community, consistent with today’s technology and environmental considerations would be appropriate. Requiring excessive parking, and encouraging more traffic on our streets, goes contrary to constraining community development to alternatives which focus transportation solutions on mass transit (which would benefit all.) Solutions to Everett’s downtown concerns could potentially be solved with offsite parking and use of mass transportation or community shuttle services. I encourage our leaders to think outside the box rather than drawing lines in the sand, and playing ping-pong with the issues. And I encourage The Herald to foster such thinking, through thoughtprovoking reporting. John Miller Marysville

■■DEFLATEGATE

Premise correct, conclusion wrong Regarding the letter, “Weather at work, not conspiracy”: As a humble chemical engineer, I take issue with the esteemed professor emeritus regarding Deflategate. His premise is correct, i.e., temperature affects pressure, however, the calculations and conclusion are wrong. 1. Using his numbers from “near 70 degrees ... somewhere close to freezing.” A 35-40 degree F drop in temperature will not drop the pressure in the ball 2 PSI. Pressure drops 2 percent for every 10 degree F drop in temperature. A 35-40 degree F reduction in air temperature will drop the air pressure 7.5 percent or 0.94 PSI for a football inflated to 12.5 PSI, not 2 PSI as stated. 2. The balls were measured at halftime inside, not on the cold field, and found to be at least 2 PSI or more below the 12.5 PSI minimum threshold for 11 of the 12 balls. Granted, the balls may not have stabilized back to 70 F, they were way

under-inflated. More than can be influenced by temperature alone. 3. These same balls were inflated to the proper pressure and returned to the game for the second half. When remeasured after the game they were the same pressure. They had not changed at all vs. what they found (less than 2 PSI) after the first half. 4. The balls used by the Colts were also checked during halftime and after the game and they were all in specification. The Patriots cheated and got caught. I would wager this was not the first time they pulled this stunt. I couldn’t care less what the NFL does with these guys. The bottom line is the message has been sent to New England. Let’s put it behind us, move on and play the game. That’s why we are there. Michael Barmuta Everett

No reason to run heartless letter Your letter from Michael G. Reagan regarding Steve Bertrand left me speechless.(“Don’t forget tragedy in 1991.”) As no one held Mr. Bertrand responsible for the tragedy involving the two track students 24 years ago, I cannot imagine why he would bring it up now, much less why you would print it. I suppose it is possible that Mr. Reagan was related to one of the victims, hence his lack of compassion, but you, the editorial staff are supposed to “edit” this kind of drivel. Are you that desperate for letters that you would publish this heartless, cruel and just downright mean nonsense? You folks are starting to look like the National Enquirer. Peter Smith Everett

■■SEAHAWKS

Peer pressure of the 12 type is fun I was driving through Seattle the other day, searching in vain for a coffee shop, when I was pulled over by a local constable. I thought he was stopping me for too much rubber-necking in my search, but he informed me I would be ticketed for not displaying a 12th man or Seahawks flag. Looking around I realized that I was the only car without one. Thinking as fast as I could without my caffeine fix, I pointed out that the 7 and 5 in my license plate added up to 12. After seeing on my drivers license that I lived in Everett he let me off with just a warning. I hightailed it for home as fast as I could, but when I got there a crowd had formed

■■ATHLETES

No sports heroes save Ted Williams We seem to have this fixation on our professional sports players as heroes. (As referred to by The Herald recently.) There are no heroes in the sports world! When someone has an outstanding game, or makes a spectacular play, this is not being a hero, this is what you are being paid handsomely to do! So, what is a hero? Someone who goes out of his or her way to do something (possibly at personal risk) of an exemplary nature, without any expectation of reward or personal gain. One actual sports hero I recall was Ted Williams, arguably the greatest baseball player ever. He would have broken every hitting record there was, but he volunteered for military service in World War II as a fighter pilot. After his service, he resumed his baseball career. Then, again, he volunteered to go to Korea! If he hadn’t missed those six years, he would have held nearly every batting record. He is still, and possibly the last, to finish the season with a .400 average. James Tobler Lynnwood

Sarah Palin’s fall comes at hands of GOP

hen Democrats were looking for evidence of a Republican war on women, they overlooked Exhibit A — Sarah Palin. This isn’t to say that Palin was part of the war on women, though many Democrats would say so. Rather she was one of the war’s most conspicuous victims — fragged, you might say — by her own troops. And yet, she’s back again. And — yet again — she’s assuming her default position of presidenKATHLEEN PARKER tial tease. Yes, she’s “seriously interested” in running for president. As evidence, she gave an utterly befuddling speech this past weekend in Iowa, where other likely candidates were gathered. This time, Palin’s critics include Republicans. What the heck was she talking about, they wondered. What has happened to Palin, they ask? As if they shouldn’t know. Palin, though no longer viable in a national race, may deserve more sympathy than scorn. Her incoherence, though not new, has worsened, and she shows signs of someone desperate for relevance. As to the Iowa speech, though her teleprompter apparently froze, a technological glitch can’t be blamed for “This is to forego a conclusion.” But blame for her general collapse beginning in 2008 can be placed in large part upon her own party, which used her and cast her aside. Not that long ago, Palin was a breathtakingly attractive politician of a rare sort. Republican strategists desperate for a running mate for John McCain with some razzle-dazzle saw her as the game-changer. What Republicans didn’t know about Palin, however, did hurt them. Despite her many talents, she was “clearly out of her league,” as I wrote in September 2008, drawing a deluge of hate. What is accepted as conventional wisdom now was, by the way, just as obvious then as now. Let’s be honest. Any man of Palin’s comparable deficits, no matter his winning ways, would have been eliminated from consideration within minutes of opening his mouth. Although Palin acquitted herself well enough in her single debate with then-Sen. Joe Biden, simultaneously winking at her fans and signaling “You betcha” to her critics, the substance of her responses was flash-card deep. This doesn’t mean that Palin was incapable of becoming a formidable national politician. It only means that she wasn’t ready. She needed to do what former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has done. Recognizing his mistakes in 2012, Perry has spent the past two years meeting with conservative scholars for briefings on economics, health care, budgets, tax policy and so on. Palin apparently took a different route. She wrote a couple of books, became fluent in Twitter and dropped in and out of campaigns to endorse tea party candidates. Until Saturday, she seemed content to have become an anointer rather than the anointed. Her seriousness as public servant versus public personality, however, was reflected in her rambling, stream-of-consciousness speech. If Republican strategists had viewed Palin in 2008 as someone with talent who needed nurturing and support, she might have been ready for a national ticket by 2016. But this possibility exposes the matter of her own judgment. One wonders why Palin would accept the invitation to become McCain’s running mate given how ill-prepared she was, not to mention that she’d just had a baby. Then again, a woman like Sarah, always the brightest star in her orbit, couldn’t resist the roar of the crowd. What she didn’t count on was the stress of constant travel, performance and cramming for speeches. Nor could she have anticipated that her own team ultimately would lose faith in her. Imagine being governor of a frontier state suddenly being placed before millions of armchair critics with fingers on the keyboard ready to fire and asked to perform without proper preparation, training or support. This is crazy-making on its face; devastating and crushing to the individual who finds herself alone on the ledge. In the end, the story of Palin’s rise and fall is a tragedy. And the author wasn’t the media as accused but the Grand Old Party itself. Like worshipers of false gods throughout human history, Republicans handpicked the fair maiden Sarah and placed her on the altar of political expedience. They sacrificed her.

Thieves swipe historic gold Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Wells Fargo Bank officials vowed to reopen a popular corporate museum in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district after thieves smashed a stolen SUV through its front door and made off with historic gold nuggets on display. The museum is a destination for schoolchildren and tourists and includes two restored stagecoaches, a working telegraph and other California Gold Rush-era memorabilia. The thieves rammed a Chevrolet Suburban through the museum’s

Trial From Page A1

prosecutors are expected to rest Thursday in Smith’s first-degree murder trial. His defense attorney agreed to forgo a jury and let Superior Court Linda Krese decide the verdict. Smith, 39, faces decades behind bars if convicted. Prosecutors allege the former Boeing engineer attacked his estranged wife as she slept because their divorce was costing him too much money and he feared that she was going to move back to Germany with their two young children. Smith’s attorneys have said that someone else broke into Susann Smith’s house, rummaged through her wallet and then killed her. They point to trace amounts of unidentified DNA found at the scene, including on

revolving door around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. One of them held a security guard at gunpoint while the others took up to 10 ounces of gold nuggets worth an estimated $10,000. The three men escaped in a four-door sedan driven by an accomplice. The security guard was not harmed in the robbery, and no damage came to the iconic stagecoaches, bank spokesman Ruben Pulido said. “Rest assured, the museum will reopen, so it can continue to serve the thousands of visitors and Bay Area residents who visit it each year,” Pulido said. Wells Fargo opened its first branch on the site in 1852, he said.

The tactic mirrored three other smash-and-grab thefts involving vehicles in the San Francisco Bay Area since May. Police said they are investigating whether there’s a connection. Last week, thieves backed a U-Haul van through the front of a Patagonia store near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, loaded it with high-end outdoor clothing and gear, and sped off. On Nov. 26, two men rammed a vehicle into an upscale designer boutique in Union Square and took handbags. Across San Francisco Bay, robbers in May busted through the glass at an Apple Store in a bustling shopping district in

Berkeley to steal electronics. Police did not reveal the value of the stolen merchandise in any of the cases. In Tuesday’s robbery, the stolen gold was estimated to be worth roughly $10,000, but Wells Fargo officials were trying to determine exactly what was taken before settling on a more precise figure. Melting the gold could remove possible markings concerning when and where the nuggets were mined, said Fred Holabird, a mining geologist and an owner of a rare and unique collectibles business in Reno. Holabird said the nuggets could be worth two to 10 times the value of gold.

Susann Smith’s wrist and the front door. In opening statements they also asked Krese to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding Smith’s conversation with Morris. The defense had fought to keep the testimony out, arguing that the conversation was protected because the man is a licensed minister. Morris told detectives that he wasn’t acting as a clergyman when Smith allegedly made the statements. Smith kept his eyes closed during most of Morris’ testimony Wednesday. Morris said he had been told that Smith was under investigation for the February 2013 killing before they met months later at a potluck. He also had heard that Smith had asked to join the Bible study group that Morris led but the host had declined because of the police and media scrutiny Smith was facing. Morris agreed to meet

with Smith and his thengirlfriend, Love Thai, in mid-June 2013. The pair were upset that they had been asked not to return to church, not long after they began attending. Morris said he also wanted to confront Smith about his dealings with a younger church member. Morris was worried that they were a bad influence on the teen. Morris and Smith met outside a Starbucks. Morris said he planned to point Smith toward God’s teachings for answers and guidance. He confronted Smith with the allegations that he was responsible for the slaying as the two sat in Smith’s car. “I don’t know how safe it is to have that conversation here. We need to take a walk,” Morris recalled Smith saying. The Seattle man was convinced then that Smith had murdered his wife. Morris testified that Smith confessed during their walk. He told Smith he

was proud of him for being truthful. The men eventually made plans to find a church where Smith could be baptized. That didn’t work out so Morris agreed to baptize Smith that night. He also tried to persuade Smith to turn himself into police. On cross examination Morris said he was convinced before the alleged confession that Smith had murdered his wife. Defense attorney Tiffany Mecca pointed out that the two men had spoken for less than 20 minutes before Morris asked Smith about his wife’s death. Mecca also elicited testimony from Morris that he didn’t tell Thai that her boyfriend had confessed to the killing. The defense attorney also focused in on Morris’ concerns about Smith’s conversations with the younger church member. Diana Hefley: 425339-3463; hefley@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ dianahefley.

Ban on openly carried weapons expanded By Rachel La Corte

the open-carry ban in the public galleries that sit above the chamber floor, and was quickly followed by the House early last week. Leaders in both chambers said they considered openly carried guns the same as any prop used for a demonstration, which is not allowed under each chamber’s rules. Hunter Goodman, the secretary of the Senate, said he conferred last week with Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, a Democrat who

serves as president of the Senate, to confirm that the rules also applied to the public hearing rooms. Goodman said that just as in the Senate public galleries, signs and other props were previously not allowed in the hearing room. “We have to make sure we’re maintaining public safety while the public hearings are going on,” Goodman said. New signs noting the prohibition on openly carried weapons,

including firearms and blades, were put up Wednesday outside the committee rooms. Signs had previously been placed outside the committee rooms in the House building. Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, said that rule for the committee hearings took effect at the same time it did in the House gallery. Bob Calkins, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol, said that as in the public galleries,

if someone openly carries a weapon in the public hearing rooms, they’ll be directed to leave. If they decline, they will be subject to arrest for criminal trespass. People can still bring their concealed guns into the galleries and committee rooms, as long as they have a concealed pistol license. Openly carried weapons are still allowed in the main public areas of the Capitol and on the grounds of the Capitol campus.

Yakima pot lab stresses quality control

UW, WSU argue over med school

Associated Press

OLYMPIA — A decision to ban openly carried weapons in the House and Senate public viewing areas also applies to the public hearing rooms at the Capitol’s legislative office buildings, officials from both chambers said Wednesday. At the end of the first week of the legislative session earlier this month, the Senate announced

By Mike Faulk Yakima Herald-Republic

YAKIMA — There’s an unmistakable, hops-like aroma of marijuana at the Analytical 360 laboratory in downtown Yakima. A technician in one room listens to reggae music while poking marijuana buds with tweezers; meanwhile a worker in another lab room studies spores in petri dishes to the sound of a Grateful Dead concert recorded in Oakland in 1987. But the aroma and laid-back sound belie the cutting-edge work going on at a laboratory that prides itself as one of the strictest and most thorough in the state for testing marijuana products for the state’s new recreational market. While producers, processors and retailers face their own challenges in developing a sustainable business model, labs such as the one in Yakima are at the forefront of a new quality control industry that’s intended to inform consumers and protect them from harmful chemicals and microbes in the product. “The worst thing that could happen is someone gets sick from using this,” lab technician Randall Oliver said. There are 12 labs licensed to test recreational marijuana in the state. Analytical 360’s lab is one of just four east of the Cascades. The lab has grown from two employees when it opened in June to seven, who process more than 1,300 samples a month from about 100 clients. The company also has a lab in Seattle that tests medical marijuana products and has hundreds more clients there, Ed Stremlow, Analytical 360’s chief operating officer, said.

Associated Press

KAITLYN BERNAUER / YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC)

Lab technician Vito Luppino weighs out marijuana samples for microbial testing at Analytical 360 in Yakima on Jan. 16. Over the course of about four days samples are tested for bacterial levels, pesticides, potency and more.

In addition to testing marijuana, they also test hops, which are a not-so-distant relative of the marijuana plant. The downtown Yakima lab is located in a building that for years was home to the John I. Haas hops company, and uses the same lab facilities that company used to test the quality of its hops. Nearly 10 percent of all marijuana flowers tested for microbes such as bacteria and fungi fail their lab tests, according to data from the state Liquor Control Board. If a sample fails, it’s tested again. If the retested sample fails again, the entire 5-pound lot it comes from cannot be sold.

All testing samples are destroyed after the tests. Analytical 360’s Yakima lab gives failing marks for microbes in about 18 percent of the samples it receives, meaning the batch they came from can’t be sold, Stremlow said. He attributes that to having some of the strictest standards in the state. “I’ve heard one lab say they’ve had no failures on the recreational market, which I find impossible,” Stremlow said. “We want everybody to pass because they’re not happy with us when they don’t, but like most labs, we want to give true and accurate results.”

If they don’t, the lab itself could reap the liability. Liquor Control Board spokesman Brian Smith said the agency is planning to test some of the product from stores and see if further testing compares to lab results for the batch. There are any number of potential contaminants the labs look for, from molds and bacteria to foreign substances such as ethanol and butane, which are used in making hash oil, and wax used for vaporizers that can cause health problems if consumed. Some of the state’s 12 labs have also reported concentrations See POT, Page B2

MICHAEL LOPEZ / WALLA WALLA UNION-BULLETIN

OLYMPIA — Washington State University can start its own medical school but not with $5.9 million set aside to expand medical programs in Spokane by the University of Washington, UW officials told legislators during a hearing in Olympia. The money was budgeted for WSU as part of a plan to expand the number of medical school students in Spokane when the two universities were cooperating on UW’s program, a UW official testified Tuesday before the House Higher Education Committee. Ian Goodhew of the UW School of Medicine said WSU shouldn’t get to spend it on its own proposal, The Spokesman-Review reported. The committee is considering a bill to amend an old law giving UW exclusive rights to medical education at state universities. The committee has not yet voted. Washington State is proposing to open a new medical school in cooperation with UW’s existing medical programs in Spokane and WSU’s schools of nursing and pharmacy, school President Elson Floyd told the committee. The push for a second medical school is sometimes described as a conflict between the two universities, but Floyd insisted it is not. Rather, it’s an effort to address the need for more doctors in the state, he said, particularly in rural areas and in specialties such as family practice. Students would spend their third and fourth years at medical facilities in Spokane and other communities where WSU has a presence such as Vancouver, Everett and the Tri-Cities, Floyd said. The law restricting medical education to UW deserves a review, Goodhew said. The two universities have collaborated for years on medical education in Spokane under UW’s WWAMI program, which trains students from Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. That program plans to See WSU, Page B2

Kalakala demolition crew saving souvenirs of ferry By Alexis Krell The News Tribune

TACOMA — The crews scrapping the ferry Kalakala are saving bolts, pieces of distressed metal with rivets, some railing. The brass trim of windows. Maybe the pistons and connecting rods from the big engine. And they can use it, considering that the office phone at Rhine Demolition Inc. has been ringing nonstop with calls from people seeking those sorts of souvenirs. “They just want a piece of the Kalakala,” said Mike Lano Sr., who’s running the demolition

Looking for a memento? People interested in buying a memento of the Kalakala can put their name on a list by calling Rhine Demolition at 800-963-8270, or emailing info(at)rhinedemolition.com. crew. “Everybody wants a little trinket.” Workers towed the ferry to a graving dock on the Blair Waterway in Tacoma on Jan 22 to be scrapped. It had been sitting in the Hylebos Waterway nearby for more than a decade. The company doesn’t know

when it’ll be ready to sell souvenirs, but the office is compiling a list of people who are interested. Lano expects to finish the demolition no later than Feb. 7 or Feb. 8. They’ve been methodically working their way through, seeing what they can salvage. “The propeller is long gone,” he

said, “but we’ll probably save the rudder for posterity.” They’ll work to save the distinctive rounded pilot house on top of the vessel. And workers are trying to preserve some art deco railing, and port holes, though the original brass from those has been gone for years. Lano’s crew used torches to cut out the brass windows that are left, arched ones that run along both sides of the superstructure. Most of the window glass was broken long ago. It’s possible some relics might end up on public display. “We’re thinking that we like to

keep a good image with the public, so if some museum or the Port of Tacoma or somebody is interested, we’ll be happy to work something out with them,” Lano said. Significant items, such as a fog horn and the like, aren’t there. “What you’d typically expect to find on a ship is gone, and probably has been gone for many years,” Lano said. He didn’t think the salvage requests would slow the overall process much. “We have to take it apart anyway,” he said. “But if it gets to be too much work, we’ll just say, ‘To heck with it..’”

of THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana, higher than any percentages ever recorded. The average THC level is nearly 16 percent according to tests done at state labs, Smith said, but some have reported percentages in the high 30s. “It’s something we’ll be following up with,” Smith

expand from 20 students a year in Spokane to 40 this year, and the state’s 201315 budget sets aside $3.8 million for UW and $5.9 million for WSU for that expansion, Goodhew said. If WSU keeps its share of the money to develop a new school, UW would not be able to expand

said. He added only about 2.45 percent of marijuana samples tested higher than 28 percent THC. It’s not powerful highs that are of concern, but whether those results are inaccurate and allowed to be used to promote the product. Oliver said any samples that test greater than 30 percent or less than 5 percent THC are put aside for additional testing. “It makes us all look bad if someone accepts a result like that without retesting it,” Oliver said.

in Spokane as planned, he said. The Legislature should reallocate that money for UW to “teach students now, not down the road,” he said. UW is seeking $8 million in the 2015-17 budget for medical school education in Spokane. WSU wants $2.5 million to seek accreditation for its new school. Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed 2015-17 budget doesn’t have money for either request.

Feds issue new snowmobile policy The new rules limit where the vehicles can go in all national forests. By Keith Ridler Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — The U.S. Forest Service has issued a new policy requiring forest managers to limit where snowmobiles can go by specifically designating what areas are open, a move that could reduce the competition between skiers and machines. The new rules take effect Feb. 27 and apply to all national forests in the U.S. The federal agency on Wednesday published the final federal register notice for the new rules. The change follows a 2013 federal court ruling in Boise that found the Forest Service incorrectly exempted snowmobiles from a 2005 Forest Service plan restricting wheeled

cross-country travel to designated routes. An Idaho-based backcountry skier group, Winter Wildlands Alliance, filed the lawsuit amid concerns that new and more powerful snowmobiles were chewing up remote and pristine powder previously reachable only by skiers. “You can’t have both uses in the same area and allow for each user to get the experience they’re looking for” said Mark Menlove, the group’s executive director. He said that besides carving up slopes, the machines are loud and emit exhaust. The new policy requires forests to publish oversnow vehicle maps using existing designations or maps to be worked out through a public process. Chad Sluder, president of the Sawtooth Snowmobile Club based in the central Idaho town of Bellevue, said his club of 75 members would take an

active part in that process. “We don’t want to lose any more ground, and if it comes to that we will fight it to the end,” Sluder said. “It’s the ongoing battle between the skiers and snowmobilers. They don’t want us there and we have every right to be there.” The Forest Service estimates that nearly 4 million people use snowmobiles on national forest land. Advances in technology have made modern snowmobiles more powerful and lighter than previous generations. Modern tracks can propel the machines more efficiently through powder in steep terrain. With those advances, skiers and snowmobilers often compete for fresh powder in the backcountry. “When we have a big storm everyone wants to get out and get that first track, whether they’re skiing or on a machine,” said Alan Rooney, a

snowmobile guide and manager at Smiley Creek Lodge in the vacation area of Ketchum. “With the bigger sleds you don’t need to have the skill level that you used to need.” Skiers and snowmobilers give similar responses about what draws them to the same areas in winter. “Just the pristine riding,” Sluder said. “You get some really good powder, awesome scenery. It’s just a real enjoyable sport.” Julie Thomas, spokeswoman for Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest, said there have been conflicts between skiers and snowmobilers over the years, but the groups have generally been able to work out agreements to avoid problems. “The national forest system lands are for the public to use and enjoy,” she said. “Our population is growing and we have a lot of people out there, but there’s room for everybody.”

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Put more emphasis on home, family and making the positive changes that will ensure greater success in both your personal and professional life. Financial improvements are doable if you make an innovative investment, sell what you don’t need, cut corners and accumulate what will grow in value. Your numbers are 2, 9, 13, 21, 23, 38, 43. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Discuss your options with someone you have worked with in the past. Don’t let an emotional incident interfere with your productivity or how you get along with someone of influence. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expanding your mind will bring about a change of attitude and an increased appreciation of friendships. You can influence others by sharing your thoughts and offering an alternative way to live. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your curiosity will mount. Trying something new will bring you in contact with people who can influence your life. Your research will show that you are better off following your own path. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Romance, a trip to exotic destinations and trying something new will give you the boost you need. Good fortune awaits if you are willing to put more effort into the way you present who you are and what you want. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Deception is apparent where money and joint ventures are concerned. You can make changes, but do so for the right reasons and only after you

have done sufficient research. �� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Re-evaluate your relationships. If you feel someone is working against you, look at your alternatives and do whatever is necessary to avoid creating a scene. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have plenty to gain by using your intelligence to maneuver your way through any discussion that can have an impact on your relationships in business or in your personal life. �� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Look for a unique way to compensate for someone’s loss or confusion. Positive change will help to bring you closer together and improve the way you live and do things in the future. �� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are best to make positive changes at home that will help you re-evaluate what you already have. Someone pretending to offer what you want will mislead you. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t allow changes to cause stress. If you don’t like something, make positive moves rather than complain. Revert back to the situations, people and places that have worked best for you. �� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Focus on your family, your home environment and making changes that will bring greater happiness and joy to you and those you love. Don’t give in to someone trying to control what you can and cannot do. �� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a tight lip to avoid being called a meddler. Emotional matters will escalate quickly, causing problems for you that can influence your personal and professional status. �� Universal Uclick

Seattle’s heart and soul Forget the circus, Marshawn Lynch ‘means everything’ to the Seahawks

HOENIX — Don’t feel sorry for Marshawn Lynch as he’s surrounded by a mob of reporters, many of them far more indignant about his silence than any grown man or woman ought to be. Media obligations are part of his job, and he had a hand in creating this circus, which fittingly enough took place under a tent at the Seattle Seahawks’ team hotel Wednesday. And don’t feel JOHN BOYLE bad for those of us covering the Seahawks who can’t get meaningful quotes from the Seahawks enigmatic running back. There are plenty of other wonderful personalities on Seattle’s roster to fill our notebooks. Instead, borrow one of quarterback Russell Wilson’s favorite cliches and just ignore the noise. Because if you can do that — and I understand some of my colleagues are professionally obligated to document every non-answer Lynch gives — what’s left is one of the most uniquely talented and just plain fun-to-watch athletes to ever wear a Seahawks uniform. See BOYLE, Page C3

Seahawks, Browner have mutual appreciation Patriots’ CB was one of the ‘core guys’ during his three-year stint in Seattle. By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

CHANDLER, Ariz. — Brandon Browner loves his former Seattle Seahawks teammates, but it’s a tough love. Browner has been uniformly complimentary about the Seahawks, and especially the Legion of Boom secondary, since his New England Patriots clinched their spot against Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX. However, before the Patriots traveled to Arizona, he encouraged his offensive teammates to try to hit Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman on his injured elbow and safety Earl Thomas on his injured shoulder. The comment drew mixed reaction from the Seahawks and in the media. But when given

a chance to clarify things this week at Super Bowl Media Day, Browner re-worded his message without retracting it. “Those are my brothers, at the end of the day there’s no hard feelings,” he said. “That’s like in any game: You have a guy that messes his ankle up, and you’re going to tackle and make sure you land on his ankle. If a guy messes his shoulder up, then you tackle him and land on his shoulder. That’s just a part of the game. You guys know how close I am to those boys, and at the time that felt like the right thing to say.” Actually, it didn’t sound quite right to Sherman. “It’s not okay in this league for anybody to intentionally hurt anybody,” he said. “I think he was just caught up in the moment. He didn’t mean any malice by it. It’s one of those things. We know him as a person, and sometimes he exaggerates a little bit. ... We didn’t take it offensively.” See BROWNER, Page C3

Short-handed Huskies Snider excited for chance with Orioles fall to Stanford 84-74 Jackson alum was traded from Pittsburgh to Baltimore on Tuesday By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Anthony Brown scored 23 points and Stanford took advantage of Washington’s depleted inside game for an 84-74 victory Wednesday night. It was Washington’s first game since dismissing 7-foot center Robert Upshaw for unspecified violation of team rules. That left little inside resistance for Cardinal 7-foot center Stefan Nastic, who scored 15 of his 17

points in the first half. Chasson Randle added 20 points and Marcus Allen had 12 for Stanford (15-5, 6-2 Pac-12). Nigel Williams-Goss had 17 points to lead Washington (146, 3-5). Mike Anderson had 16 points and Quevyn Winters added 13. Stanford led by 12 points, 36-24, at intermission and Washington could draw no closer until pulling within 10 in the final See HUSKIES, Page C2

Stephen Tarpley and a player to be named later, said those growing pains made him a better player who is now ready to use what he’s learned in his new opportunity with the Orioles. “It’s definitely Travis Snider an exciting time for my career and, most importantly, getting the chance to play for a manager like Buck Showalter and play for an organization that is defending the AL East title

The Baltimore Sun

Travis Snider was once one of the top prospects in baseball, making his major-league debut at the age of 20 with the Toronto Blue Jays. He spent a lot of the past seven years struggling to make good on spectacular minor-league numbers. But Snider, a Jackson High School alum whom the Orioles acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league left-hander

and someplace where winning is expected,” Snider told The Baltimore Sun on Wednesday. “That’s something that coming from Pittsburgh the last couple years will be nice, kind of picking up where I left off, so to speak, on a team full of competitors.” The Orioles had been looking for a left-handed outfield bat since they lost Nick Markakis and Nelson Cruz early in the offseason. Executive vice president Dan Duquette believes Snider,

t was on. Then it was off. Then it was on again, with Debbie Sandwith frantically trying to keep 100 of “her” salmon anglers up to the minute on the status of the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic. The derby had sold out its self-imposed limit of 100 boat/ teams weeks ago, and was set to register anglers on Thursday, Feb. 5, and fish Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 6-7, in Marine Area 7, the San Juan Islands. Each boat team had paid an entry fee of $750, some had paid for lodging in and around Roche Harbor, and Sandwith, a veteran derby coordinator, had everything well in hand. Winter blackmouth fishing in the Islands had been excellent since its Dec. 1 opener. Too good, perhaps, because state Fish and Wildlife Department salmon managers had decided last week that sport fishermen were getting too close to the harvest guidelines for chinook in Area 7. The state had cut the limit from two fish to one, earlier in the season, in an attempt to extend the fishery. So Sandwith received what she says was a “courtesy call” from WDFW Friday, that the agency was “highly likely” to close salmon fishing in Area 7, beginning this week, for the remainder of the winter season. That closure would include the Roche Harbor derby dates. Sandwith, also the manager of the Roche Harbor store, said she “cancelled an order for additional chips, beer and ice,” but was told she could listen in to a WDFW conference call on the situation early Monday afternoon. She said the call sounded to her like the closure was indeed going to be implemented, so she says she texted WDFW fishing program policy lead Ron Warren, but received no definitive answer. Sandwith checked with other event officials and then decided, about 3:30 Sunday afternoon, to send the following email to derby anglers: “It is with a heavy heart that we must cancel the 12th annual

PICK OF THE WEEK | Seattle Boat Show

Outdoor calendar

We’re down to the last few days of the boat show at south Lake Union and the CenturyLink Field Event Center — the time when vendors do some serious price cutting.

Roche Harbor Salmon Derby, due to an early fisheries closing of Area 7. I expect an official press release soon from WDFW and will forward that along as soon as I receive it. “You will be fully refunded your derby entry fees and lodging that was booked. We will follow up with further details over the next few days.” Then, adverse public opinion apparently caused WDFW to rethink the situation, and a person knowledgable about the agency said it was likely that Fish and Wildlife Director Phil Anderson stepped in. Managers then orchestrated a new regulation which would allow limited chinook fishing in the islands and accommodate the Roche Harbor derby. Why the director got involved with what could be considered a precedent-setter for future derbies, albeit a welcome one for sport fishermen, isn’t known. One angler said, “Maybe he just wants to leave on a positive note,” referring to the fact that Anderson is retiring and is staying in the office on an interim basis until the new director, Dr. Jim Unsworth, is officially on board. At 7 p.m. Monday evening, Sandwith got the word she was waiting to hear, and sent out this email: “YES — got the call tonight; WDFW will send press release out tomorrow morning, BUT we got the call and the Roche Harbor Derby is NOT CANCELLED. Look forward to seeing all of you next week. Please spread the word that the DERBY IS A GO!! We will call each team captain to make sure every angler has the good news.” The good news is that salmon fishing in Area 7 will be closed

for one day, Thursday, Jan. 29, and then will reopen on a schedule of Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week, starting Jan. 30. WDFW’s Warren said the agency is evaluating catch rates and impacts to wild chinook stocks throughout Puget Sound to determine whether further action will be necessary in coming weeks. So what looks good in the islands for derby time? T.J. Nelson, host of The Outdoor Line on 710 ESPN AM radio Saturday mornings, said you could do a lot worse than spend the whole day at Cypress Island. “Fish the flood on the north side of Tide Point, and the south side on the ebb,” he says. Thatcher Pass is also worth a shot, he says, especially if there’s bait in the area. Decatur Bay also puts out blackmouth. He would be fishing a flasher on bottom, followed by one of the new Herring Aid spoons in UV blue scale, white and chartreuse on one side and glow on the other side. “I like it,” Nelson says. “It gets us back to lures that look like a baitfish.” Nelson says he would run that combo on one side, and a whole herring on the other.

Local blackmouth Meanwhile, areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9 have been slow, after a decent start for Area 9 two weeks ago. Gary Krein, owner of All Star Charters in Everett, said 9 has been spotty recently. Skipper Len Osborne fished Krein’s boat Sunday at Double Bluff and nailed a nice 9-pounder and lost another about the same size. Osborne was using a flasher, 42 inches of leader, and a 31⁄2-inch Kingfisher spoon in Irish cream color pattern. Krein said a few fish were coming from the Point No Point area. Most of the action over the weekend was off Port Angeles. State creel

checks on Friday showed 11 anglers with 10 chinook at the Ediz Hook ramp, and two anglers with two chinook at John Wayne Marina. On Saturday, the Ediz Hook count was 22 with seven chinook, and at the John Wayne Marina, 27 with seven chinook. The San Juans continued to kick out blackmouth. Sunday at Cornet Bay had 22 anglers with six fish, and at the Washington Park ramp in Anacortes, 89 anglers had 28 fish. The Port of Everett ramp count was very slow, at two chinook for 54 anglers, and Camano State Park ramp, 17 with zip.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Roundup

No. 6 Arizona dismantles Oregon Huskies Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — Gabe York scored 16 points, Brandon Ashley added 13 and No. 6 Arizona put on an offensive show to dismantle Oregon 90-56 Wednesday night. After routing Oregon earlier this season behind its defense, Arizona (19-2, 7-1 Pac-12) ran away from the Ducks a second time with one of its best offensive performances of the season. The Wildcats had their way with Oregon inside and out, shooting 59 percent while outscoring the Ducks 44-18 in the paint. Arizona led by 15 in the first half and crushed Oregon’s hopes with a big run midway through the second to win its 33rd straight home game. Stanley Johnson had 12 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Wildcats. T.J. McConnell scored all 10 of his points in the first half and had five assists. Elgin Cook had 16 points and Joseph Young added 12 for Oregon (14-7, 4-4). Arizona handed the Ducks their worst loss of the season in the teams’ first meeting, limiting the Ducks to 4-of-20 from 3-point range in the 80-62 victory on Jan. 8 in Eugene. The Wildcats were particularly effective against Young, holding him to 12 points on 4 of 15 shooting. Oregon bounced back with its best offensive game the last time out, shooting 62 percent, including 9-of-13 from 3-point range in a rout of UCLA. Young had a hard time

Cook didn’t, scoring 13 points on 6 of 8 shooting. It wasn’t close to good enough against the Wildcats and their bulldog of a point guard, McConnell. In synch from the start, Arizona hit six of its first seven shots and barely slowed the pace, hitting 18-of-30 in the first half. McConnell was the catalyst, though with his scoring even more than his distributing. Attacking Oregon’s defense whenever he saw an opening, McConnell hit all five of his shots in the first half and scored 10 points, with three assists. The Wildcats had a few careless turnovers from trying to force passes through traffic, but still managed to build a 42-27

halftime lead. Oregon tried to shoot its way back, making seven of its first eight shots and going on an 8-0 run to cut Arizona’s lead to 56-46. York put an end to the run and the Ducks’ hopes, hitting a pair of 3-pointers and turning a steal into a three-point play during a 14-0 run that pushed the lead to 19.

Arizona State (11-10, 3-5) used an 18-3 run early to take a 40-23 lead into the break and extended it to as many as 22 points in winning its third game in the last four. Oregon State never got closer than 15 in the second half. Bo Barnes, who hit 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, added 11 points for Arizona State. Four Sun Devils had at least two 3-pointers.

minute. The Huskies trailed by as many as 26 points in the second half. Nastic, who had been averaging 14.0 points per game, made 7 of 8 attempts in the opening half. The Huskies double-teamed him in the second, holding him to just one basket and he fouled out with six minutes remaining. That opened opportunities for Brown, who scored 15 of his 23 in the second half. The last time these teams met, Jan. 4 in Palo Alto, Stanford won 68-60 in overtime. In that game, the Huskies committed a seasonhigh 19 turnovers. Sloppy play again put the Huskies in a hole early that they never dug out. Stanford opened with a 7-4 lead by the 17-minute mark before the Huskies turned the ball over on three of their next four possessions and found themselves behind 12-5 with 15:02 left. Washington ended a nearly five-minute scoring drought with a pair of free throws by Andrew Andrews at 12:45 to go. The Huskies reduced the deficit to five points, 29-24, at 2:06, but the Cardinal then scored the final seven points — five by Brown — for a 36-24 lead at intermission. The Cardinal shot 55.5 percent in the half.

Postcard from the Super Bowl

From Page C1

“I just think that sometimes we focus on the little details that don’t matter, they don’t make any difference,” Wilson said. This isn’t a defense of Lynch — he signed up for media obligations when he signed an NFL contract, and if players don’t think every one of them should have to do this, that’s something they can take up the next time they collectively bargain their next labor agreement. What this is is simply a reminder that beyond “I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” and that line’s sequel, “you know why I’m here,” is the person teammates consider one of the most important, intelligent and beloved players on their roster. A player who could very well be the difference maker in Super Bowl XLIX. “He means everything to this offense,” receiver Doug Baldwin said. “I don’t know where we would be without Marshawn Lynch. He is the engine. He is the heart and soul of this offense. Everything runs through him. Despite what everyone wants to think, Marshawn Lynch is this offense. I don’t know what else to say about that.” Baldwin says the team’s goal is to make Lynch the Super Bowl MVP, because “We know the formula that we have put in place is if Marshawn wins the MVP then we have done our job on offense.” And it’s hardly difficult to imagine Lynch earning that award Sunday. In nine postseason games, Lynch has averaged 5.0 yards per carry, eclipsing 100 yards five times, including a postseason franchise-record 157 yards in the NFC championship game, and has eight touchdowns. “We just know that every time he touches the ball, it’s got a chance to be an explosive play,” guard J.R. Sweezy said. “All we’ve got to do is give him an inch, and he’ll do the rest ... As a team we look up to the guy a lot. Just the way he carries himself, the way he leads by his actions, leads by example. Not a big talker, obviously, but he does it day in and day out, and on Sunday he puts on a show.” Yet as much as his teammates love what Lynch does on the field, they might appreciate him even more for who he is off of it. Lynch obviously doesn’t let a lot of people in, media especially, but if you’re in his inner circle, if you get his trust, he shows a much different side than what he shows in defiant interviews. “He just cares about everybody,” center Max Unger said. “He could sit down with every single dude in the locker room and have a conversation with him, and it would be genuine. He has a relationship with pretty much everybody that’s close enough where he could sit down and have a 20-minute conversation with them and not bat an eye.” Lynch’s other attribute that is too often overlooked — again, in part his own doing — is his intelligence. If Lynch would talk football with us, you’d hear about the game from the person offensive line coach Tom Cable calls one of the smartest football players he has ever coached. The physical talents are obvious. There’s the raw power, the nimble feet — head coach Pete Carroll describes Lynch as having feet like a slalom skier — the speed, the nasty stiff-arm. But on top of all of that, Lynch also sees the game in a way few, if any, of his teammates do. “I think if you asked every player in this room right now to talk about the other 21 positions in football,” Cable said Tuesday, when every Seahawks player was in the room. “I don’t know if you could find many that could do that. I think he’s extraordinary that way, he gets it.” Lynch is also smart enough that he knows exactly what he is doing with these media sessions. He has become more famous, more beloved by Seahawks fans, and more marketable — pay attention to how many Beast Mode hats and clothing items you see around Seattle in the next few weeks — by repeating one-liners than he ever could by giving cliche answers. He doesn’t deserve anyone’s pity for dealing with a sometimes comically angry media mob, but neither do those of us trying to cover him and the Seahawks. “It comes with the territory,” Unger said of the huge crowd of reporters and TV cameras that surrounded Lynch’s podium Wednesday. “Marshawn’s extremely intelligent. A lot of people say a lot of bad stuff, but Marshawn is perfectly capable of conducting himself how he wants to. This is his show, and he understands what he’s doing. He’s aware of everybody’s perception of him, but I just don’t think he cares.” One of the most talented and unique players in Seahawks history will be one of the most important players on the field in Super Bowl XLIX. Lynch means everything to the Seahawks offense and to his teammates, whether he wants to tell us about it or not. “He’s not carrying the football, he’s carrying his team,” Cable said. “That’s who he is. That’s what he does.” Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman participates in drills during Wednesday’s practice.

Sherman calls out Goodell for 3rd time By John Boyle Herald Writer

PHOENIX — Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has never been shy about publicly criticizing an opposing player or member of the media if he feels something needs to be said. Leading up to Super Bowl XLIX, however, Sherman is taking on an even bigger target. For the third time this week, Sherman wasn’t shy about calling out NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for something the cornerback sees as a double standard. In defending Marshawn Lynch not wanting to speak to the media a day earlier, Sherman had made the point that players are forced to be available to the media multiple times a week during the season. But the people in power, such as Goodell, are not. Goodell does an annual press conference the Friday of Super Bowl week. However, when Sherman was asked what he might ask of the commissioner were he to attend, Sherman answered, “I would ask him why he doesn’t do this weekly instead of annually.” During Super Bowl Media Day Tuesday, Sherman had said, “I don’t think (players) should be obligated any more than (Goodell) is obligated to speak to the media. I think that if players are going to be obligated to speak to the media then every one of the NFL personnel should be obligated to speak to the media weekly, and that’s not the case.” And Sherman makes a valid point. The league threatens players with fines if they don’t talk to the media after games and during the week. Yet Goodell has remained silent throughout the league’s latest controversy, the New England Patriots’ deflated ball scandal. Oh, and Sherman had a thought on that topic too, saying on Sunday that he doesn’t expect the Patriots to be punished if it is

Browner From Page C1

Browner and the Seahawks have plenty of reason for the mutual appreciation, as each benefited from their three seasons together. After playing at Oregon State, Browner didn’t stick at Green Bay, and he was playing in the Canadian Football League when the Seahawks signed him in 2011. At 6-foot-4 and around 220 pounds, he fit right in with the original Legion of Boom. However, his playing time decreased from 16 games to 12 in 2012 and finally to eight in 2013, when he was suspended for violation of NFL drug rules. That suspension kept him out of Seattle’s Super Bowl victory over Denver. In March, he signed with New England as an unrestricted free agent. “Brandon was really one of the core guys for us,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “We loved what he did for our time as he contributed to kind of the mindset and growth of the

proven that they altered footballs because of Goodell’s close relationship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “I think he was just at Kraft’s house last week for the NFC Championship,” Sherman said. “Talk about a conflict of interest.”

Maxwell looking forward to being in demand Seahawks general manager John Schneider said one of the team’s top priorities in the offseason is to talk to cornerback Byron Maxwell, who is in the final year of his deal, about a new contract. On Wednesday Maxwell said his people have already talked with the Seahawks, but he also finds the idea of being a free agent appealing. “I mean definitely, you know, I’m the prettiest girl at the dance right now,” he said. “But yeah, it’s one of those things I’m excited about it. I would love to be here but how things work out, as far as I’m ready to see what’s out there.” Asked if he’s thinking about his future, Maxwell said, “Yeah, of course it would be hard not to think about your future. Especially what’s in my future, how it could help my family it would be hard not to be like, ‘What could be next?’ Right now, this week, I’m focusing on this.” Being the prettiest girl doesn’t necessarily mean Maxwell needs to be top dog on his team, however. “It’s not even that,” he said. “I just want to help the team and really help the team win, really. And get paid while I’m doing it. I don’t think about number one cornerbacks or none of that. I just want to ball, basically.”

Seahawks healthy heading into Super Bowl As expected, the Seahawks had everyone on their 53-man roster on the practice field, and on top of that, the five players listed on the injury report — Sherman (elbow), free safety Earl Thomas (shoulder), guard J.R. Sweezy (ankle), tackle Justin Britt (knee) and running back Lynch (back) — were all full participants in Wednesday’s practice. In the pool report put out following Wednesday’s practice, it was noted that Sherman made a leaping interception, showing no signs of the injury affecting him. Thomas also practiced with no visible limitations because of his injury. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com

group. ... Those tough decisions occur every year. But, we wish him the very best. And he’s a great competitor, and he’s going to battle just as we’re going to battle, and it’ll be really fun to be on the field with him.” After serving the final four games of his suspension at the start of this season, Browner quickly claimed a starting spot in the Patriots’ secondary. “I wouldn’t say that I miss (being part of the Legion of Boom), but those guys mean something to me,” Browner said. “I’m happy to be playing with the likes of Darrelle Revis and (safety) Devin McCourty — it’s like I didn’t miss a step. It’s not like I went and played for a team that didn’t have solid DBs. It is fun.” The feeling from his new teammates sounds mutual. “I think just how he approaches the game helps us out on defense,” Revis said. “He has a lot of mental toughness. He definitely does. As a defensive player and playing on defense, you want that physicality type of player and he brings that at the corner position. There’s not a lot of guys who are very tough and play the corner position very physical, so for him to bring that, it helps our defense a lot.”

efore we get to Wednesday, let’s pick up where we left off last night with the media party, an always wonderful event because it includes free food and drinks. As was the case last year, going late to the party meant riding a charter bus with all of three people on it: me and two ASU students working for Cronkite News. Somehow that doesn’t seem like the best use of resources, but thanks for the ride, Super Bowl Host Committee. On a bus ride home — don’t worry, it was full this time — I was seated near a Slovenian journalist. Somehow Olympic gold medal-winning ski racer Tina Maze was a topic of conversation during Super Bowl week (note, if you want to impress a Slovenian, drop some Tina Maze knowledge on them). Wednesday’s media availability was at the Seahawks’ team hotel. Fittingly enough given the circus-like atmosphere, it was set up in a tent. One interesting (at least to me) part of the day was when Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman arrived. He stopped for a quick chat before heading to his podium. And while he, KJR’s Curtis Crabtree and I shot the breeze, several photographers stood around shooting dozens of pictures. My guess is Sherman is used to this, but it felt really odd having so many people take pictures of a casual conversation. In downtown Phoenix, Wednesday had a different feel than the previous couple of days. Super Bowl Central opened Wednesday, and with more fans arriving each day, there was definitely more buzz in the city. Oh, and speaking of a lot of people downtown, kudos to the folks at the downtown Potbelly. That was one efficient line. Wednesday night a bunch of Seattle-area media folks went to the Phoenix Suns game. For those of you who forgot, since our team was stolen a while back, the Suns are a part of the National Basketball Association — the professional league that decided Oklahoma City is a better market that Seattle. Staff writer John Boyle will be writing a postcard from Arizona each day leading up to Super Bowl XLIX.

Patriots return to practice field By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

CHANDLER, Ariz. — After a couple of days devoted largely to travel and media obligations, the New England Patriots returned to the football field Wednesday. “We’ve had all this chaos of media, this and that,” quarterback Tom Brady said. “It’ll be good to go out there in some nice warm weather and some good grass and throw the football around and execute things that you want to get done and get the week started.” The Patriots will meet the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl 49 on Sunday at Glendale, Arizona. Meanwhile, they are practicing at the Arizona Cardinals’ training facility in Tempe. “Their facilities are good,” head coach Bill Belichick said. “We’ll utilize whatever we think is best. They have a nice indoor facility, pretty nice outdoor fields. So we’ll make it work.” The Patriots are staying at a luxury hotel about 30 minutes from downtown Phoenix in the southeastern suburb of Chandler. Some players have speculated that the relative isolation is no accident. “I expect nothing less from coach,” receiver Julian Edelman said. “I thought we were staying in New Mexico. I guess that’s the Patriot way.”

Pac-12 pride The Pacific 12 Conference is well represented on the New England roster: safety Patrick Chung and running back LeGarrette Blount of Oregon, receiver Matthew Slater and linebacker Akeem Ayers of UCLA, running back Shane Vereen of California, cornerback Brandon Browner of Oregon State, offensive lineman Cameron Fleming of Stanford, tackle Nate Solder of Colorado, tight end Rob Gronkowski of Arizona, and defensive lineman Sealver Siliga of Utah.

Glacier Peak junior Zach Argue, who was taken by ambulance from Tuesday night’s boys basketball game against Shorecrest after landing awkwardly on his head, tweeted out early Wednesday morning that he is OK. “Thanks so much to everyone for all the love and support!” Argue tweeted. “I’m sure you’ll all be glad to know its not serious and I’m going to be just fine!” Argue had a shot blocked with 7:26 to play in the game and fell to the floor, hitting his head in the process. Coaches and trainers immediately ran to the 6-foot-3 post and he was immobilized and taken to a local hospital. After the game, which the Grizzlies won 50-43, Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hunter was focused on Argue. “It’s a big deal,” Hunter said. “It’s one of your guys. I told my players that it’s like my son out there. It scares me to death to see him like that. I think the kids love him too. It’s definitely not what you want to have happen at a high school basketball game.”

Modern Health & Wellness

This Health Footpad is so Powerful it Has Doctors Talking About It! Nothing works faster or better for your overall health, energy and vitality than this soothing, healing detox foot pad…and it all happens while you sleep. Doctors are now recommending that we take nutritional supplements daily. The health beneﬁts of doing so are overwhelming. Most people are not aware, however, that you can use supplements to pull harmful toxins OUT of your body. Toxins that are robbing you of your good health and that are also making you fatigued by stealing your energy. The pore structure in our feet allow toxins to be pulled out of our body and allow healing nutrients into our body.

That’s Right, You Can Remove Toxins Through Your Feet! In the last couple years, millions of people across the country have experienced, for the ﬁrst time, the amazing, soothing and cleansing overnight effect of Detox Foot Pads. Detox foot pads are a true healing wonder that go far beyond removing toxins. In fact, they work so fast, throughout the whole body, and so effectively, that most people are shocked when they ﬁrst use them.

of drawing out and trapping unhealthy toxins, what users see in the morning is shocking. The brown, gunk-ﬁlled pad is evidence of what’s inside your body that needs to come out. Once this harmful buildup is removed, most people say they feel “invigorated.” They experience a unique, effective, fullbody cleansing from the inside out that allows more energy and better health immediately. Detox Foot Pads are all natural. No chemicals or drugs are used. Only healing ingredients that are designed to draw this unwanted toxic buildup out quickly and then replace it with nutrients that heal your body.

Harmful “Gunk” and Toxins Out, Health, Healing and Energy In Many people are surprised to learn that feet are a key gateway to better health. The Japanese, who enjoy FAR better health than we do as Americans, have known this secret for thousands of years. In fact, the ancient art of foot reflexology is based on Japanese healing methods that date back six thousand years. Acupuncturists know this as well and treat patients for most of their health problems by starting with the feet. Different parts of the soles of our feet significantly affect the health of other areas of the body. This has been proven again and again by numerous medical studies carried out by world-renowned hospitals and universities. The soles of our feet also play an important role in our health by being at the lowest point in the body, where gravity collects harmful, health and energy-sapping toxins that have no way to come out. This toxic purging happens by gently stimulating the reflexology zones on the feet. And there’s no better health “tool” on earth to help your body remove harmful, built-up chemicals, toxic metals, excess lymph fluid and “gunk” than a Detox Foot Pad. Plus, they are far easier to use than other popular cleansing methods that include fasting, and remedies that violently purge the digestive system.

The Seattle Storm are continuing their rebuilding project. The Storm traded Camille Little and Shekinna Stricklen to the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday for the third and 15th picks in the upcoming WNBA draft and Renee Montgomery. The Storm already have the No. 1 pick. “As we get into the draft and look at the players coming out, we’re excited about having 1 and 3,” Seattle Storm president and general manager Alisha Valavanis said. “For us a key objective is to add youth to the roster, and this gives us an opportunity through the draft.” Connecticut is trying to regroup from the loss of rookie of the year Chiney Ogwumike, who is sidelined for at least six months after having microfracture surgery on her right knee Thursday. The Sun still have the

we’ve had eyes on for quite a while,” Sun coach Anne Donovan said. “She has championship experience that will be extremely valuable as we continue to develop our young talent. She is a premier small forward in the WNBA and a stretch four we are excited to acquire.” Stricklen was the No. 2 pick in the 2012 draft by the Storm. She averaged a career-best 10.0 points in 2013 before putting up only 7.2 last season. Montgomery averaged a career-low 6.7 points last season while coming off the bench for the Sun. She was the WNBA’s sixth person of the year in 2012. “This is a significant move for both teams,” Connecticut Sun general manager Chris Sienko said. “Based on our immediate needs, Camille and Shekinna help fill specific roles now and in the future. Of course, to get value, you have to trade value. We wish Renee much success in the future.”

who will turn 27 on Monday, fills that role nicely. Snider is looking forward to earning his keep in Baltimore. “Having experienced parts of seven years at the major league level and playing in both leagues has taught me a lot about competition for playing time and what goes into all of that,” Snider said. “For me, having experienced different roles in my career, being an everyday guy for short periods of time and not getting a full season of at bats, it’s exciting to know that that could potentially be something that takes place here in Baltimore, but the focus remains on each day and what I need to do to get better today and prepare myself for spring training and going in there with the right mind-set ready to work and earn what is given.” Snider, a first-round draft pick of the Blue Jays in 2006 who was once ranked the sixth-best prospect in the game by Baseball America, has never spent an entire big-league season as an everyday player. But last season with Pittsburgh, he posted a .264/.338/.438 batting line with 15 doubles, 13 home runs and 38 RBI in a career-high 359 plate appearances.

“The years of experience leading up to that were definitely important,” Snider said. “Pittsburgh traded for me and when I got over there, I had some transition time to get used to the National League and the style of play and coming into last season, earning the job as the starting right fielder and then later in the year being a bench guy and having different roles in my 21⁄2 years in Pittsburgh has really prepared me for the future of my career. “We all strive to be everyday players and get 500-600 at bats and go out there have that opportunity, but I haven’t had that opportunity in my career,” Snider added. “And I don’t expect that opportunity to be handed to me just because the Baltimore Orioles liked what they saw and made a trade for me. For me, I keep my focus on doing what I have to do to get better every day and continue to improve on some of the adjustments I was able to make over the course of the year mechanically with my swing. “It’s been something I’ve struggled with over the years, consistency with my mechanics. When you go up and down between the major leagues and triple A as a young player, there are a lot of things that come with that. It’s a grind mentally, and it was something that took me a few years to really

fourth pick in the draft, which they acquired from New York in a trade last year. Montgomery starred at UConn before being drafted by Minnesota in 2009. She then was acquired by the Sun in a trade in 2010. Seattle was already rebuilding the franchise. Former coach Brian Agler left to take the job at Los Angeles earlier this month. The Storm promoted Jenny Boucek to head coach last week. “It’s painful to part ways with such great players and people who are first class in every way,” said Boucek. “But as you’re seeing our organization is committed to acquiring some picks going forward in this rebuild. Little has played in 202 of a possible 204 games for Seattle, starting all of them. Last year, she averaged a career-high 12.9 points and helped the Storm win the WNBA title in 2010. “Camille is a player

put into perspective and understand going into last season the adjustments I wanted to make, and I’m going to continue to make over the course of my career to be successful at this level.” Snider said he’s excited about returning to the American League East — he spent parts of five seasons with Toronto — and Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Tuesday that Snider is a natural fit for Camden Yards. “Camden as a field is definitely a favorable place for hitters and for me, it will be nice having a little different distance out in left-center field as a left-handed hitter,” Snider said. “For me personally, staying in the middle of the field is a strength and when I’m staying in the middle of the field, good things are happening. The dimensions there are a little more favorable for a left-handed hitter to be able to stay in that left-center, center field section, just trying to stay disciplined and allow those homers and extrabase hits to come.” Snider said he wasn’t surprised he was dealt and knew the Pirates were ready to give phenom Gregory Polanco the starting right-field job. So he went into the offseason prepared for a new home in 2015. Since he already had a spring training home set in Bradenton, Fla., he won’t have to reorganize his spring plans with the Orioles’ facility just a few miles south in Sarasota. He is disappointed he will not be able to attend this weekend’s FanFest event at the Baltimore Convention Center. Snider is a big Seattle Seahawks fan and, before the trade, he made plans to go to the Super Bowl in Arizona to support his hometown team.

This undated photo provided by Burnham Design shows the main kitchen in a residence in Beverly Hills, California. Burnham Design specified Calacatta Marble for both countertops and backsplash, and designed custom Shaker-style cabinetry for both the perimeter cabinets and the center island. “Deep drawers provide excellent storage for pots and pans, and even oversized plates,” Burnham says, “and banks of drawers just look cool.”

On the front burner Tips for improving your kitchen in small (or big) ways

By Melissa Rayworth Associated Press

Another holiday season has passed, and with it the marathon cooking and baking sessions. The hours spent using every kitchen appliance and inch of counter space had a potential benefit more lasting than a good meal: When we really use our kitchens, we discover what does and doesn’t work in this very important room. Remodeling a kitchen can be expensive and challenging, but you can make substantial cosmetic changes with just the help of a painter and electrician, says interior designer Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles. And if you’re ready for even bigger changes, it’s still possible to stay on budget and create a gorgeous kitchen with a minimum of stress. Step one is deciding what really needs to be done. Can you work with the appliances and cabinets you’ve got, or is it time for a full-scale remodel? Step two is the budget, coming up with a realistic estimate for each expense, says designer

Brian Patrick Flynn of Flynnside Out Productions. Then, the fun can begin. Three areas where a little improvement can go a long way:

Storage A smoothly functioning kitchen has space for everything to be stored away, within reasonable reach. Can you achieve that with your current cabinets? If so, Flynn suggests keeping them and just replacing or refinishing the doors. “Cabinetry installation adds a lot to a budget,” he says, “so saving by simply reusing what you’ve got can be a massive help.” If your cabinet doors are stained wood, consider painting them. Then, change the hardware. Drawer pulls and cabinet door handles “can make or break the look of the space,” says Lee Kleinhelter of the Atlanta-based design firm Pieces. Flynn agrees: “I always use high-end hardware regardless of how high or low my budget is,” he says. “Adding an interesting metal and finish to your

doors just really adds character and uniqueness. You can never go wrong with dull black pulls and knobs, and I’m also a huge fan of antique brass. When it comes to silver tones, I try to stay classic and go with polished nickel.” If you do need to add or replace cabinets, Burnham suggests having them custom-made. It can be expensive (Flynn estimates that ready-made cabinets cost about one-third as much as lower-end custom designs). But they are worth the investment, Burnham says. “You’ll get wellmade pieces, built to your needs, that will last through time, kids and tons of use.” Rather than adding cabinets with doors, she suggests installing drawers. “Deep drawers provide excellent storage for pots and pans, and even oversize plates,” Burnham says, “and banks of drawers just look cool.”

Fresh colors and materials Painting kitchen walls can be “a quick, inexpensive solution to a See KITCHEN, Page D3

Burnham Design is designing a kitchen that’s predominantly a sophisticated cream color.

Movies spark renewed interest in carver’s penguins C Charles Hart carved this 91⁄2-inch-high wooden penguin in about 1937 to be sold as a souvenir. It sold 76 years later at an Eldred’s auction in East Dennis, Massachusetts, for $501. ELDRED’S AUCTION

arvings of birds, especially ducks and other wild species, are collected by those who consider the best examples to be art, while other examples are to be used as decoys when hunting. While both types of decoys can be found at antiques auctions and shops, most are sold in auctions or shows that specialize in decoys, wood carvings and related pieces. The best of the 20th- and 21st-century carvers are famous, and collectors can name the most talented. A stone carver named Charles H. Hart (18621960) hunted and made decoys for his brother and friends. At first Hart specialized in just a few species,

including black ducks, Canada geese, goldeneyes and mallards. About 1900, he started making a stick-up black duck that had detached wings that flap and a head that could be turned. Hart was soon selling his birds to stores in Boston. In the 1930s, when the country was fascinated by the explorations in Antarctica, he began carving penguins. Most had applied flippers and color showing at the neck of the black and white birds. He made them in all sizes from about 6 inches to 4 feet high.

Refrigerator maintenance. “The most important maintenance you can do on your refrigerator is to clean the condenser coils regularly because the coils are covered with dirt, grime, debris, pet hair and all that kind of stuff and it overheats the refrigerator,” says Bill Krier, president and CEO of highly rated (on Angie’s List) Broad Ripple Appliance in Indianapolis.

For sub-zero refrigerators, the coils are usually located on the top of the unit. 2. Dishwasher maintenance. “The biggest thing you can do to keep your dishwasher running well is to clean food off your dishes before you put them in,” Krier says. Food bits get stuck in crevices, gum up moving parts and cause bacteria to form. Krier recommends using a dishwasher cleaning

product every three to six months to remove calcium buildup. Calcium deposits can clog the dishwasher’s sprayer arm and affect cleaning efficiency. He says cleaning products containing citric acid effectively remove calcium buildup. For another trick to remove calcium buildup, place a cup of white vinegar on the top shelf of an empty dishwasher and run a load with hot water. 3. Microwave maintenance. Krier recommends cleaning your microwave regularly to remove food particles. “Even though it’s stuck on there, the

microwave is going to keep heating the food pieces,” he says. “After time it’s going to get hard as a rock.” Krier says microwaves heat food particles at high temperatures, which can then burn the top and sides of the microwave. He recommends cleaning the inside of the microwave with glass cleaner. To remove stubborn food bits, boil a cup of water or white vinegar in the microwave to loosen the food particles, which you can then easily wipe off with a sponge. 4. Stove and oven maintenance. Have you

ever placed aluminum foil on the bottom of your oven to catch food spills? Although it seems like an easy way to keep your oven clean, Krier says aluminum foil blocks airflow and can interfere with the heating element, causing it to fail or require recalibration. To keep a smooth-top stove looking new, Krier recommends scraping off burned food bits with a razor blade and cleaning the surface with glass cleaner.

Spotlight on heating systems

JANUARY Is All About

STAYING WARM MONTH!

Whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, fireplaces and stoves are second to none where coziness and comfort are concerned.

The cost of installing a heating system in a home and paying for the ongoing heating costs is a major chunk of a family’s budget. The purchase, as well as the annual operating costs and maintenance of equipment, can entail a lot of expense. Here are a few heating systems that combine savings with cozy pleasure. Fireplaces and stoves Fireplaces and stoves have no equal in coziness and comfort, whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, and whether they are built-in, prefabricated, freestanding, traditional or modern. Before choosing a heating system, compare the characteristics of different fuels and available models. Electric baseboards and linear induction With programmable electronic thermo-

Hardware

Radiant heating This type of system does not heat the air but rather the walls, floors, windows and furniture. All of these elements store the heat and then release it into the air, providing exceptional and longlasting comfort. This is an invisible heating system that can be installed in floors, walls or ceilings.

stats, electric baseboard and linear induction heating systems allow you to economize on heating costs without compromising on comfort. During the winter, each room can be heated independently.

Landscaping

Heat pumps, central heating systems, and other devices all have their advantages and disadvantages. Before making your choice, consider your specific needs and your budget. And don’t forget to take into account the environment — a heating system that is both efficient and green is possible. Some advice? Before you start spending, talk to the in-store experts.

Guide for buying, keeping antique furniture Associated Press A guideline for buying and maintaining antique and fine furniture. What to look for when buying period furniture: 1. Once you’ve found a piece of furniture you’d like to purchase, research as much as possible about the piece: the manufacturer, the designer, the number of known pieces of the same model or variations that were made. 2. Find out if the item is considered to be an important piece by the manufacturer/designer. Does it have any special features? What is its

“provenance” (previous owners); perhaps it’s been part of an important collection or was owned by someone of notoriety? 3. Get help from an expert to: ■ Examine the construction methods to see if they correspond with ones used during the period the piece was made. ■ Look for tell-tale signs of repair, replaced or retrofitted parts. ■ Determine if the various woods used to make the piece came from a geographical area consistent with where the item was made. For pieces from the 20th and 21st century, it’s

important to evaluate the newer industrial materials, such as synthetic finishes and pre-fabricated substrates (plywood, particle board). ■ Establish if the finish was used during the period. If it is original, assess the condition. ■ Look for signs of how the piece has aged. Has the color faded? Has it darkened to the point of obscuring the wood? Are the veneers secure? ■ Check that the wood has its natural patina. ■ Check if the upholstery fabric is original. Inspect the stuffing. Is it from the period? Determine how

WHAT: Thuja Also known as “Forever Goldy,” this fast-growing evergold arborvitae shrub and its chartreuse color adds brightness to the garden on a gray maritime day. Its branches turn red in the fall while the shrub changes to a warm orange color. It can tolerate strong winds, temperatures to minus-30 degrees and extreme heat. It is a good solution where a privacy screen is needed as it grows approximately 5 feet per year. “Forever Goldy” is a plant with many attributes and can solve a number of gardening challenges. SUN OR SHADE: Best coloration is achieved in full sun. SIZE: Typically grows to 12to 15-feet tall and 3- to 4-feet wide. SEE IT: At the Snohomish

If you’re trying to update your kitchen’s look, Burnham says “there’s been a shift from the once-ubiquitous all-white kitchen toward gray-painted cabinets, and we’ve found ourselves experimenting with color.” Her office is designing one kitchen “that’s predominantly a sophisticated cream color, and another that will have dark, olive-green cabinets and a textured, blackstone countertop.” Homeowners are also getting

Once you’ve determined a piece is worthy of purchase, how to maintain and restore it: ■ A simple wood nourishment will help preserve the patina if the item has the original finish. ■ If the finish is good but not original, apply a wood nourishment.

more creative and saving money with materials like concrete. Concrete tile is “an inexpensive material that comes in an incredible array of colors and patterns,” Burnham says, and “it works for backsplashes or kitchen flooring, and really makes a statement.” Try mixing affordable elements with higher-end ones: “Basic butcher block is my favorite countertop because of its classic appeal, and it’s insanely affordable. By juxtaposing it with a unique backsplash, like a mosaic marble or rustic stone, it looks more high-end,” Flynn says. “My biggest splurge on kitchens is usually my lighting and backsplashes.” And choose colors and materials you’ll be happy with long-term, rather than something trendy.

it more comfortable. But it’s tempting to sacrifice function for style. Don’t. “We all live in our kitchens,” says Kleinhelter, “so it is important to have comfortable and durable seating.” Stools are popular, and Burnham says designers in her office love the simple, clean look of a row of stools arranged along a bar or kitchen island. But, she says, comfort is key: “We find most clients like seats with backs and arms.” Also choose seating that’s easy to clean and durable. Whether you’re simply buying a new table and chairs or beginning to plan a full kitchen remodel, Flynn offers one last piece of advice: Take time to choose the things you really want, and be patient if the project takes longer than you’d hoped. What matters is the final result, not how many weeks or months it took to get there.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Social obligations stressful? Find a balance Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi, Carolyn: I’m 34. I usually prefer to spend my free time with my significant other of nine years. I also have a small core of very close friends, and about twice a month, we have dinner/drinks with these friends. I’m an introvert, so I don’t like large outings or parties, but will attend a few each year. But that means turning down many invitations. After a couple of these events were canceled due to low interest, I started feeling guilty about saying “no,” so I’ve been going to more out of obligation. I guess I wanted to communicate to less-close friends and acquaintances that I care about them. That doesn’t make the events any more bearable or fun. I find myself wondering why I’m doing things I don’t want to do. My thinking is this: People who like to plan and organize group events generally do so because that’s just the way they have fun, right? So, even though I prefer to connect with these people in my life in ways that are less stressful to me, I should continue to suck it up and attend some events to support their preferences, right? — Socially Obligated? “Should” is such a loaded word.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Meeting friends halfway is the most basic way to keep friends. Since it’s probably safe to assume not everyone would see your first choice (quiet dinner/drinks) as their first choice for socializing, it makes sense that you’d agree to others’ first choice sometimes, even if it drains you. Going out of guilt takes it too far. “I want to show this person I care,” yes; “ ... or else I will beat myself up for not going”? I don’t think your (good) friends would want to be the source of those feelings. Go occasionally to stay in touch and don’t dwell on the issue beyond that. Hi, Carolyn: How can I get away from this idea that I am unlovable until I lose weight? I know I’m nice, do loads of cool stuff, give good email, etc. Yet I won’t even flirt or consider boys as possibilities because

I need to lose 20 pounds. It feels, logically, ridiculous and sad. I can’t shake it. Any help?? — Body Stuff Tuning out the negative internal messages on body image is one of the more difficult emotional challenges people face — and I’m defining difficult as something that’s hard to accomplish despite having all the elements in place that we commonly view as necessary: awareness of the problem, commitment to change, sympathy for others in the same position, a logical plan of attack. My opinion, to get things started: I think the answer is in the “sympathy for others in the same position.” You’re harder on yourself than others would be on you, no? Certainly you’re harder on yourself than you would be on others in your same position. Cultivating the forgiveness you show others will ultimately help you. I also think it helps to make sure some of that “cool stuff” you do is unabashedly physical, like dancing or biking or building things. Putting your body to work tends to improve your opinion of it significantly. For readers’ thoughts, check out the Hax Philes (http://wapo. st/1u9Czqs) on the topic. Washington Post Writers Group

Love doesn’t extend to boyfriend’s son Dear Abby: I am in a great relationship with a wonderful man, “Kevin.” He loves me very much and we get along well. I have three kids and Kevin loves them and treats them like his own. He also has a son, age 6, who has cystic fibrosis. I love Kevin and can see myself marrying him. The problem is, I don’t think I like his son. He’s a good kid, cute and funny, but I don’t feel “love” for him. I’m affectionate with my own kids, but I have to force myself to be with this boy. I am easily irritated by him and sometimes just don’t want to be bothered. I don’t want to end my relationship with Kevin because I’m so in love. But is it fair to stay with him if I don’t love his son, too? — In Conflict In Northern California Dear In Conflict: Frankly, it depends upon whether you can learn to love the boy. You say you don’t like him. Why not? Is the reason valid? Is he mean, dishonest, spoiled or too needy? Or could it be that he’s a living reminder that your boyfriend once loved another woman? If your relationship is to work, you may need an attitude adjustment. Can you focus on the positive qualities the boy has? That would be a good first step. If not, then for everyone’s sake, end the relationship now. Dear Abby: I am 12 and my mom is part of a church group (Unitarian). She recently told me she is taking me to her church where they are making pies for the homeless. Even though this is a nice act, I don’t want to be a part of it (mainly because I am very shy around new people). When I told my mom, RIP HAYWIRE

she said she thought I was being rude and inconsiderate, and that she would make me come and ground me if I didn’t go. Is there any way I can explain it to her better? — Shy Kid Dear Shy Kid: If you have already told your mother the reason is your shyness, then I can’t think of a way to state it more clearly. She may feel that your help in the project is urgently needed, which is why she’s insisting. Or, she may feel that it might help you to overcome your shyness. Sometimes when people work together for a worthy cause they forget about themselves and their insecurities. I hope you will give it a try — if only so you won’t be grounded.

diamond. Alas, East won and led his last trump, and Louie’s last diamond was a loser. He also lost a club and was down one. I agree with Louie that the cost of a higher education is out of control, but at least he could save money by improving his bridge technique. After taking one high trump, Louie can lead a low diamond, assuming West doesn’t have a low singleton. The defense wins and leads a third spade, and Louie ruffs, cashes a second high trump, leads a club to dummy, returns a diamond to his queen and then leads the ace. When

new on DvD “The Judge” ★★★: Director David Dobkin is lucky to have Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr. starring in his new trial drama, “The Judge.” Their Oscar-caliber performances — including Downey’s first outstanding performance since his Oscar-nominated effort in “Chaplin” more than two decades ago — give this familiar family-centric tale of small town justice new life. “Fury” ★★★★: It takes amazing skill to make a war film like this WWII drama that is so bravely honest in its depiction of the horrors and heroics of war. These are no gallant warriors meeting on the field of battle for a chivalrous conflict. “Masterpiece: Downton Abbey Season 5” ★★★½: This latest

season — just now rolling out on PBS — finds the Crawley family and members of their staff facing the usual collection of emotional trials. The big difference is they are played out against the Roaring Twenties. The DVD set comes with more than 40 minutes of additional video. Also new on DVD this week: “Jean de Florette / Manon of the Spring”: Gerard Depardieu stars in these two films about greed and survival. “The Color of Time”: James Franco collaborates with 12 film grad students. “Henry V”: Kenneth Branagh stars in and directs this film based on the work by William Shakespeare.

What’s coming to a flat screen near you By David Hiltbrand The Philadelphia Inquirer

Between broadcast, cable, and streaming services, there is a plethora of new shows and returning favorites in the offing. Here is a rundown: “Better Call Saul” (AMC, Feb. 8): Ever wonder what goes into making a lawyer as sleazy and unprincipled as “Breaking Bad’s” Saul Goodman? You’re about to find out in this prequel, which catalogues Saul’s scrambling days in Albuquerque, when he was still known as Jimmy McGill. Bob Odenkirk returns as the legal weasel, Jonathan Banks as the crusty Mike. Michael McKean joins the fun as Jimmy’s disturbed brother. “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” (HBO, Feb. 8): Reclusive and controversial, Durst is the subject of this six-part documentary series that was seven years in the making.

6): The team that gave us “30 Rock” — Tina Fey and Robert Carlock — has created a new, crazily askew, Manhattan-based comedy. Ellie Kemper (The Office) plays a deliriously naive ingenue taking on a Big City for which she is utterly unequipped. Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess (both “30 Rock” alums) co-star. “A.D.” (NBC, April 5): After “The Bible,” a miniseries produced by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, did big numbers on the History Channel in 2013, NBC picked up the sequel. Beginning Easter night, this 12-hour epic starts with the Crucifixion and follows the persecution of the early Christians.

“Wolf Hall” (PBS, April 5): This extravagant six-part Masterpiece production is based on Hilary Mantel’s Tudor novels, “Wolf Hall” and “Bring Up the Bodies.” It stars Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell, who is trying to counsel a king (Damian Lewis as Henry VIII) intent on having Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy) at any cost. “Mad Men” (AMC, April 5): This is it, folks. The final seven episodes. Where did we leave things? Oh, that’s right: Roger (John Slattery) had just sold the agency to McCann Erickson and Sally was making out in the back yard. But what of Peggy (Elisabeth Moss), Pete (Vincent Kartheiser), Betty (January Jones), Joan (Christina Hendricks), and, most important, Don (Jon Hamm)? We’ll find out after these special messages. “Game of Thrones” (HBO, April 12): Westeros is in chaos as Season Five begins. The Lannisters are reeling; the Tyrells are bridling; Stannis Baratheon holds the wall; Littlefinger has usurped the Vale and the White Walkers are inexorably moving south. Yes, it’s shaping up to be a great year for this sword-andsorcery tour de force.
