Courthouse options all costly The County Council’s dilemma: Add parking to current designs to meet a city of Everett requirement, build a new justice center somewhere else, or scrap the project. By Noah Haglund

Herald Writer

EVERETT — While the Snohomish County Council held off Monday on any big decisions

to decide what to do about the impasse with Everett over parking. The conflict is threatening to implode the $162 million project. County and city staff met last week to establish how to fulfill the city’s requirement for hundreds of parking spaces not in current courthouse designs. They’re scheduled to meet again Thursday.

“They get that we need a decision and we need a decision quick,” said Jason Cummings, the county’s chief civil deputy prosecuting attorney. The county had hoped to break ground on the project later this year, but that’s now in doubt. It’s up to council members to decide what to do: Add parking to the current courthouse designs

or build the courthouse somewhere else. There’s even talk of scrapping the project altogether. “It’s something I’m taking a serious look at,” Councilman Terry Ryan said after Monday’s meeting. “Definitely something to be See COURTHOUSE, back page, this section

Helping Marysville students who are struggling with the tragedy means finding ways for them to cope without harming themselves or becoming depressed, experts say.

BELLEVUE — Drivers will learn Tuesday what they may pay to use the express toll lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue while carpoolers find out the rules to travel in them at no cost. The state Transportation Commission on Tuesday intends to release its toll rate proposal at a meeting in Bellevue, then begin a six-week public comment period. Commissioners are planning to take final action on March 18. That will give the state Department of Transportation time for a public education campaign before toll collection begins later this year on the 17 miles of express lanes. Commissioners are eyeing a recommendation to set a minimum toll rate of 75 cents and a maximum of $10. It is anticipated that drivers will pay between 75 cents and $4 most of the time, according to Reema Griffith, the commission’s executive director. By comparison, travel in Highway 167 high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lanes costs a minimum of 50 cents to a maximum of $9. Here’s what’s going to be a little different for carpoolers. Commissioners are looking to require carpools have at least three people to be exempt from paying during peak hours — defined as 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. — and two people the rest of the time. Motorcycles, transit vehicles and vanpools will be exempt at all times. The state deploys a similar approach for use of the carpool lanes on the stretch of Highway 520 between I-405 and the bridge deck on the eastside of the lake, according to Griffith.

students struggling with depression or thoughts of hurting themselves. “This is a real issue and it will not go away if we don’t talk about it,” said Mary Schoenfeldt, who was hired by the school district after the high school shootings to help direct recovery efforts. “We don’t want to be defined by tragedy. We want to be remembered for how we move forward from it,” she said. The Marysville School District, the City of Marysville and the Tulalip Tribes have worked together to address concerns. “There is so much stigma surrounding depression and suicide,” Adam Lesser, deputy director for the Center for Suicide Risk Assessment New York State Psychiatric Institute, told the Totem Middle School students. “It’s OK to talk about this kind of really scary stuff.” Lesser is part of a team of experts from the Bostonbased International Trauma Center. Led by the center’s founder, Dr. Robert Macy, the team has been working to assess trauma in the community and to help develop a system

He outlined some ways the students can help. “Learn to recognize the warning signs of depression,” he said. If a kid becomes withdrawn, stops eating, stops doing things they normally would or

Another change drivers will encounter on the I-405 express lanes is that all vehicles, including carpools, will need to install a special transponder in their vehicle to avoid getting charged. Carpool vehicles would be required to have a switchable device to use the express lanes for free. The units will have separate modes for HOV, which stands for high occupancy vehicle, and toll.

Carpoolers must switch their unit to HOV to avoid paying a toll otherwise they’ll be charged. The new devices, when available, will also work on the Highway 520 and Tacoma Narrows bridges and the Highway 167 toll lanes, state transportation officials have said. Those who never plan to carpool in the new I-405 express lanes can still use the lanes if they pay the toll. Drivers would use their standard Good To Go! account to pay a toll or, if

for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the third leading cause of death for people age 10 to 24. For American Indians of the same age group, it is the second leading cause of death, particularly among boys. Experiencing trauma or knowing someone who died from suicide can contribute to increased suicide risk, studies show. Many students in Marysville experienced one or both of those stressors on Oct. 24, Lesser said. “Historically and statistically, after an incident of this magnitude students may become more involved with high-risk behaviors which include suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, and other reckless activities. This is why we are discussing suicide awareness and prevention,” Schoenfeldt said. At the Totem Middle School assembly, the message to students was clear: they can prevent further trauma. They have access to information and resources to help themselves and their friends. “In your friend groups you have the power to keep each other safe. You have the power to make your lives better,” Lesser told students. “You couldn’t do anything before, because you didn’t know, and that’s

to aid those in crisis. The team spent from Jan. 18-25 meeting with clinicians, counselors, and health officials from the city, county, and the tribes. Training sessions focused on ways to recognize and address suicide concerns. Students received similar briefings. “It’s a vulnerable time, and during vulnerable times people with mental challenges can get worse,” Lesser told the Jan. 22 middle school assembly. Many times, suicide is not discussed out of fear that even raising the subject may give somebody the idea to hurt himself. Studies show that simply is not the case, Lesser said. “Asking about suicide, in most cases, is met with relief,” Lesser said. “Most people want to get help.” Students really are in the best position to reach those who need help, though are not always best equipped. “Don’t do this alone.” Lesser told students. “Find someone you trust, someone you can talk to.” Preventing suicide is a priority for the school district and the trauma team. The county’s Community Health Improvement plan already includes regular trainings for teachers on prevention and intervention. According to the Centers

Deal gives $1.6 million to firefighters Edmonds, Brier and Mountlake Terrace each have received substantial discounts in the back-pay compensation. By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

EDMONDS — The city and Fire District 1 have reached an agreement on a bill for retroactive pay

for firefighters, which calls for the city to pay $1.6 million. Edmonds, Brier and Mountlake Terrace contract with the fire district to provide fire and paramedic services. The cities

received bills in August for back pay to settle retroactive pay issues at the fire district totaling $2.5 million. Mountlake Terrace and Brier earlier reached agreements with the fire district. Mountlake Terrace initially was charged $661,318. After months of talks, $40,300 was taken off the bill,

which will be paid off over two years. Brier initially was charged $256,240 and has paid $245,325 with nearly $11,000 taken off its bill. The fire district agreed to reduce Edmonds’ bill by $63,631. The city’s $1.6 million bill will be paid of in eight quarterly payments, said Edmonds Mayor

STANWOOD — About 12 years ago, members of the local historical society were ecstatic about drumming up $1.2 million to revive a former Oddfellows hall that had fallen severe disrepair. Re-branded the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center in honor of a generous, since-deceased donor, the renovated building got steady use as a rental for weddings, concerts and exhibits. A year ago, a serious problem came up: a leaky wall was allowing water to pour inside. The moisture puddled, threatening the whole structure. That might have been the end of the story, without a Snohomish County heritage preservation grant. Approved last year, the $30,000 grant paid for almost half the cost of fixing the wall. “We’re very appreciative of the grant that Snohomish County gave us and appreciative our membership and community for supporting it also,” said Dan Lien, the Stanwood Area Historical Society’s vice president. “If we hadn’t done the repair, the building was in jeopardy because there was water coming into the walls.” Work started over the summer and finished in the fall. The Floyd is only the most recent project to benefit from the county’s Community Heritage Program. A year earlier, the county awarded $10,000 to pay for interior renovations at the North Creek Schoolhouse in Bothell’s Centennial Park. Usually, the grants get awarded in smaller amounts averaging about $3,500, said Wendy Becker, the county’s economic and cultural development manager. Past awards from the program have helped historical societies to digitize old newspaper collections and museums to archive materials. Public education, training and exhibits also are eligible for the grants. “We want to support projects that promote the community’s access to our county’s history,” Becker said. The program was created by state law and funded with fees the county auditor collects on recorded documents. Nonprofits and local governments are eligible to receive them. The county’s Historic

Presentations during the festival including “Feathered Architects: The Fascinating World of Bird Nests” and “Are Polar Birds on Thin Ice?” Organizers are putting together a birding photography class and several guided tours of the Port Susan Nature Conservancy. A

bus tour to spot snow geese and trumpeter swans is in the works, and maps are available at local businesses for popular birding areas like Iverson Spit and English Boom Park on Camano Island. Tours tend to be the most popular part of the festival, said Kristine Kaufman, one of the coordinators. Speakers also draw crowds, and there are experts this year on birds in the far northern climes of Russia

and on southern species in Antarctica and South America. “It’s sort of pole to pole this year,” Kaufman said. A complete list of activities is online at www.snowgoosefest. org. People should bring warm clothes, cameras, binoculars and water bottles. “This has just grown year after year,” Kaufman said. “Our one piece of advice is layer — the classic Pacific Northwest instruction.”

STANWOOD — February is a month of treasure hunts and winged visitors here. While most communities slip into a late winter lull before spring and summer festivals, Stanwood and Camano Island are ready to put on two of the area’s biggest events of the year. The back-to-back celebrations have different themes. One honors migrating snow geese that flock to the tideflats, and the other entices people to hunt for clues to colorful, fragile treasures. The Great Northwest Glass Quest runs from Feb. 13 to 22. A father and son duo of local artists, Mark and Marcus Ellinger, have crafted hundreds of glass floats that serve as the treasure in this 10-day quest. Plastic clue balls are tucked among the trails at parks or mixed into the merchandise at businesses. People who find clue balls win a float. Guide books for the quest can be picked up at most Stanwood and Camano Island businesses or downloaded online at www. thegreatnwglassquest.com. This year, at least one new questing spot has been added, event coordinator Gayle Picken said. Kayak Point Regional Park will have clue balls. Locations that have been part of the quest in the past, including Camano Island and Cama Beach state parks, also are on this year’s list. About 40 businesses participate. The floats come in a variety of colors and every one is unique, Picken said. “The repeat questers love this,” she said. “We have people come and bring their kids or friends or parents. It’s a treasure hunt, and it’s so much fun.” People have about a week to recover from questing before the 10th Annual Port Susan Snow Goose and Birding Festival starts. The two-day celebration is scheduled for Feb. 28 and March 1. Tens of thousands of snow geese migrate down the west coast in the winter, landing in droves among Stanwood’s fields and tideflats. The area also is

They’re part of you,” he said. His son, Colin Dahlquist, was stabbed to death March 28 in an Edmonds grocery store parking lot. Two people lured him there under the ruse of selling him heroin. Codie Allen and Loresa Pilon never intended on handing over any drugs. Allen took his money and Dahlquist, 23, was stabbed during a scuffle over the cash.

Clothes for Kids Clothes for Kids, a Lynnwood nonprofit, has scheduled an open house from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at 16725 52nd Ave. W, Suite B, Lynnwood. The public is invited to see how this grassroots organization provides clothes for students in need throughout Snohomish County. More info: 425-741-6500.

The suspects drove off, leaving Dahlquist screaming for help. His condition quickly worsened and he died minutes after police officers found him on his back, covered in blood. Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wynne on Monday sentenced Pilon to 7½ years in prison for her part in the slaying. Allen was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison.

Mill Creek: Apply for scholarships

Mill Creek’s nominee will move on to the statewide competition, in which six $1,250 scholarships will be awarded. Applications are due to the city no later than noon Feb. 27. For more information, contact City Clerk Kelly Chelin at 425-745-1891 or kelly@cityofmillcreek. com. Application materials are available on the city website.

SNOHOMISH — Detectives are continuing to investigate a shooting Sunday night in Snohomish that sent one man to the hospital. The victim, a Snohomish man, 22, was reported in stable condition Monday. Detectives did not yet have a good description of the suspect to release, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The incident was reported at 7:27 p.m.

continue to talk to the fire district about the length of time the city would be responsible for retroactive pay. “That’s not to say they weren’t justified, but we need a better idea of the range, at least, as we’re preparing our yearly budgets,” Earling said. Jim Kenney, chairman of the fire district’s board of commissioners, said district representatives plan to meet with Edmonds officials to negotiate with them on how back-pay issues will be handed in the future. Edmonds is five years into a 20-year contract with

an accomplice, Harrison said. “We would like a sentence that is just and proportionate to her involvement in this,” the lawyer said. Pilon, a mother of two young children, apologized for Dahlquist’s death, saying she never meant for anyone to get hurt. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Robert Grant argued that Pilon actively participated in the attack and was the getaway driver. She threw punches at Dahlquist and used pepper spray on him, Grant said. She is not a victim, he said.

Sunday along Lincoln Avenue, near First Street, Snohomish County sheriff’s Lt. Scott Parker said. Investigators were told a man was shot after interrupting a burglary at his home, Parker said. The extent of his injuries wasn’t disclosed. Ireton said detectives have not confirmed who owned the weapon involved in the shooting. On Monday they had not yet interviewed the victim, who had been undergoing surgery.

the district to provide fire services in the city. “It’s certainly appropriate to make sure it’s working for both sides,” Kenney said. The wage issue for the fire district’s 192 employees, including firefighters, paramedics, captains and battalion chiefs, goes back to 2012, when a contract was expiring. Union employees were to get a 3.7 percent pay increase. But with layoffs looming, employees decided to decline the pay raise after one month to avoid layoffs. The union contract for 2013-14 was settled last year and included retroactive raises of 4.51 percent for 2013 and 1.2 percent for 2014.

Applications are available at http://bit. ly/1AUru9B or by contacting the Office of Economic Development at 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, M/S #411, Everett, WA, 98201. Projects must be completed by Dec. 15. For more information, contact Wendy Becker at 425-388-3186 or wendy. becker@snoco.org.

“This decision to lure (Dahlquist) for a drug rip was an intentional decision, equally made by Loresa Pilon and Codie Allen,” Grant said. The judge dismissed the defense’s position that Pilon was minimally culpable because she didn’t wield the knife or steal the money. She is “100 percent” responsible and made poor decisions that led to a man’s death, Wynne concluded. He said he doesn’t know exactly how events unfolded in the parking lot between the suspects and the victim. “I do know Colin Dahlquist had a drug addiction, a weakness. You and Codie Allen took advantage of that addiction,” Wynne said.

Snohomish Slew, the city’s mascot bullfrog, on Saturday predicted there will be an early spring coming to the Pacific Northwest. Snohomish Slew’s prediction contradicted that of groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, who saw his shadow Monday morning, indicating six more weeks of winter.

Obama offers record budget Says $4 trillion spending plan would tax rich, help middle class By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Promising to help America’s middle class, President Barack Obama on Monday sent Congress a record $4 trillion budget that would hammer corporate profits overseas and raise taxes on the wealthy while boosting tax credits for families and the working poor. Obama’s budget also would steer hundreds of billions of dollars to the nation’s crumbling infrastructure of roads and bridges, help provide two years of free community college and reverse the acrossthe-board, automatic budget cuts that have slammed the Pentagon and nearly every government department. In the face of certain opposition from Republicans, an optimistic Obama hailed a “breakthrough year for America” of new jobs, lower unemployment and shrinking deficits after the great recession of 2008, and he called for moving past years of “mindless austerity.” The blueprint for the 2016 budget year that begins Oct. 1 represents a 6.4 percent increase over estimated spending this year, projecting that the deficit will decline to $474 billion. However, Obama’s plan ignores the new balance of power in Washington, with Republicans running both the House and Senate. The GOP found plenty to criticize in his proposed tax hikes that would total about $1.5 trillion. Republicans cited the nation’s $18 trillion debt and assailed what they call Obama’s tax-and-spend policies for failing to address the spiraling growth of benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare. “Today President Obama laid out a plan for more taxes, more spending, and more of the Washington gridlock that has failed middle class

ASSOCIATED PRESS

White House Press Secretary Josh Ernest (from left), National Economic Council Director Jeff Zients, Office of Management and Budget Director Shaun Donovan, and Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Muñoz listen to a question during a news conference about President Barack Obama’s budget in Washington on Monday.

These proposals are practical, not partisan. — President Barack Obama

This plan never balances — ever. — House Speaker John Boehner

families,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “This plan never balances — ever.” Republicans will respond this spring with their own plan, a balanced-budget outline promising to get rid of Obamacare, ease the burdens of the national debt on future generations, curb the explosive growth of expensive benefit programs and reform a loophole-cluttered tax code in hopes of promoting economic growth. While Obama’s plan was rejected out of hand on budget day, proposals to ease automatic cuts and boost transportation funding are likely to return later in the year and require extensive negotiation. “These proposals are

practical, not partisan,” Obama said of his overall plans. “They’ll help working families feel more secure with paychecks that go further, help American workers upgrade their skills so they can compete for higher-paying jobs, and help create the conditions for our businesses to keep generating good new jobs for our workers to fill.” Some people would pay more. Many wealthy Americans would be able to take tax deductions at the 28 percent rate only even if their incomes were taxed at 39.6 percent, and some would also see an increase in their maximum capital gains rate. However, a couple earning up to $120,000 a year would qualify for a new “second

earner” tax credit of up to $500 as well as a maximum $3,000 per-child tax credit for child care for up to two children, triple the current credit of $1,000. Obama’s initiatives to tax the wealthy and to welcome an influx of immigrants into the United States are going nowhere in the new GOP-run Congress. But there is a bipartisan desire to ease automatic spending cuts that are the product of Washington’s failures to cut deficits beyond an initial round in 2011. The centerpiece of the president’s tax plan is an increase in the capital gains rate on couples making more than $500,000 per year. The rate would climb from 24.2 percent to the Reagan-era top rate of 28 percent. Obama also wants to require estates to pay capital gains taxes that reflect the increase in value of assets like homes and stocks prior to death instead of after inheritance. And he is trying to impose a 0.07 percent fee on the roughly 100 U.S. financial companies with assets of more than $50 billion, raising $112 billion over 10 years. All told, Obama proposes higher receipts of about $2 trillion though his budget: about $1.5 trillion from tax increases and almost $500 billion from fresh revenue as immigration reform lifts the economy and provides new workers. His proposals would boost federal spending by $74 billion and would result in a spending increase of $362 billion over the remaining six years the spending caps were to have been in place. The deficit would remain under $500 billion a year through 2018, but would rise to $687 billion by 2025, according to administration projections — though levels of red ink could still be considered manageable when measured against the size of the economy.

ACROSS THE U.S.

US-Venezuela tensions escalate WASHINGTON — Relations between the United States and Venezuela grew increasingly hostile Monday as the U.S. slapped new visa restrictions on Venezuelan officials and their families and Venezuela’s president accused Vice President Joe Biden of plotting to overthrow him. The State Department said current and former Venezuelan officials believed to be associated with human rights abuses or corruption would be subject to the restrictions, which bars those individuals from entering the United States. In a first, the U.S. said its ban would also apply to the individuals’ immediate family members. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. wouldn’t name the abusers publicly because of visa confidentiality laws. At the same time, the U.S. dismissed as “ludicrous” a claim by Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro that Biden had conspired against him.

Calif.: No Manson nuptials The marriage license of mass murderer Charles Manson and a 26-year-old devotee is set to expire without a wedding, prison officials said Monday. A California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman said weekend visiting for inmates passed without Manson getting married. Afton Elaine Burton and Manson, 80, obtained a 90-day marriage license late last year. It expires Thursday. Weddings at California State Prison, Corcoran, are not held on weekdays.

'Suge' Knight charged Former hip-hop music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was charged Monday in Los Angeles with murder and attempted murder after he struck two men with his pickup truck Thursday. Prosecutors allege that Knight intended to run down a friend and another man after an argument on a movie set. One of the men was killed. Attorney James Blatt said Knight accidentally ran over the men as he tried to escape a vicious attack.

AROUND THE WORLD Liberia: Ebola vaccines Large-scale human testing of two potential Ebola vaccines got under way in Liberia’s capital of Monrovia on Monday, part of a global effort to prevent a repeat of the epidemic that has now claimed nearly 9,000 lives in West Africa. The studies in Liberia are taking place after smaller tests determined that the vaccines were safe for human use. By comparing them now with a dummy shot, scientists hope to learn whether they can prevent people from contracting the deadly virus.

Northeast hit again by major snowstorm Associated Press BOSTON — Boston scrambled to dig out Monday from the second major winter storm in a week and delayed a celebratory Super Bowl parade, and forecasters from Philadelphia to Portland, Maine, warned that “flash freezing” could make roads dangerously slippery. Officials said a Massachusetts woman was run over and killed by a snowplow, and New York state police said two people were killed in a multivehicle crash in Rye. Cynthia Levine, 57, was struck and killed by a snowplow just before 10 a.m. Monday in a parking lot in Weymouth, south of Boston, the Norfolk district attorney’s office said. In New York, state police said they were investigating a crash on I-95 when a vehicle lost control on the highway and hit two vehicles from a previous crash. Other developments Monday: Officials in Ohio, where the storm hit before slamming

into the Northeast, said Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins was hospitalized after he had a heart attack and his SUV crashed into a pole while he was out checking road conditions. Storm warnings: The snowstorm, which dumped more than 19 inches of snow on Chicago, deepened off the southern New England coast, bringing accumulations of 9 to 16 inches to Boston and up to a foot of slushy wintry mix to Hartford, Connecticut, Providence, Rhode Island, southern New Hampshire and Vermont — places still reeling from the up to 3 feet they got last week. More than 20 counties in New York state were under a winter storm warning, with up to 16 inches forecast for the eastern Catskill Mountains, and northern and central Taconics. Many Long Island schools delayed opening or closed due to a forecast of snow and freezing rain. By early afternoon, central Massachusetts had more than a foot. The Philadelphia area

received about an inch of snow before the precipitation changed to rain. Parts of northern Ohio got at least a foot. Bad commute: The National Weather Service issued a “flash freeze” warning for New York City and Long Island. Similar warnings were out for Philadelphia and up the coast to Maine as temperatures dropped, freezing roads already slick with snow and slush. Rush-hour commuters in New York City were stranded for 2½ hours on a packed subway train that lost power. Five other trains were stuck behind it. In Henniker, New Hampshire, crews were using snow plows loaned by the state and surrounding towns. A fire had destroyed the town’s plow fleet three days earlier. Plowing for parade: Boston Mayor Marty Walsh canceled school for a second day and urged drivers to stay off the roads so workers could clear away snow for a downtown parade honoring the New England Patriots for their fourth

Super Bowl win. The parade has been postponed until 11 a.m. Wednesday. In the courts: The storm delayed two of the nation’s biggest court cases — the murder trial of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez and jury selection in the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Testimony is to resume Tuesday in the Hernandez trial. But federal court officials in Boston, who follow the city’s school closure schedule, said the Tsarnaev proceedings would be delayed a second day. More winter: The handlers of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said the furry rodent has forecast six more weeks of winter. Members of the top hat-wearing Inner Circle announced the “prediction” Monday morning. Legend has it that if Phil sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks. If not, spring comes early.

A female suicide bomber killed herself Monday when she exploded a vehicle packed with explosives near a stadium where Nigeria’s president had just held an election rally in Gombe, police said. They said there were no other casualties. Two other suicide bombings in Gombe city Sunday injured a few people but killed only the bombers, he said. No one has claimed responsibility.

Britain: Ex-spy's widow says he implicated Putin Former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko developed a powerful animosity toward Vladimir Putin, accusing the Russian president of fomenting war and consorting with criminal gangs, the agent’s widow testified Monday. Marina Litvinenko spoke at an inquiry into the death of the ex-intelligence officer, who fled to London in 2000. He died in November 2006 after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210 at a London hotel. On his deathbed, Alexander Litvinenko accused Putin of ordering his killing.

France: Pimping trial opens for ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn appeared in court Monday to face accusations of taking part in an international prostitution ring set up to provide him with prostitutes for orgies at luxury hotels in France and the U.S. The former head of the International Monetary Fund, once considered a near shoe-in as France’s president, went on trial in Lille to face charges of aggravated pimping.

Exxon, Chevron boost production By Jonathan Fahey Associated Press

NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil has been working for years on a fleet of enormous new oil and gas projects in places such as Abu Dhabi, Russia, Papua New Guinea and the Gulf of Mexico designed to turn around what has been a consistent and alarming slide in oil and gas production. A record eight of these

mega-projects came on-line last year, Exxon said Monday — just as oil prices were falling by more than half. “Investors would be more than happy to see production decline but oil prices higher,” said Fadel Gheit, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. No such luck this year. These enormous projects were conceived and started years ago, as prices were rising. Now they are

starting to produce oil and gas at a time when the price of global crude has been eviscerated by rising supplies and weak growth in demand. On Monday, Exxon posted a 21 percent decline in both revenue and profit for the fourth quarter because of lower oil prices. The company said it earned $6.57 billion in the quarter, the lowest since the first quarter of 2010, on revenue of $87.28 billion. Last

year Exxon earned $8.35 billion on revenue of $110.86 billion. Exxon also said Monday that oil and gas production slipped 4 percent compared with a year earlier, to 4.05 million barrels per day. It was the 13th decline in the last 14 quarters. Four years ago, Exxon was producing nearly 1 million more barrels of oil and gas per day than it is now. See EXXON, Page A8

Low oil prices raise alarm in N. Dakota By Matthew Brown Associated Press

WATFORD CITY, N.D. — High crude prices catapulted North Dakota into the top tier of the global oil market and doubled or tripled the size of once-sleepy towns that suddenly had to accommodate a small army of petroleum workers. But now that those prices have tumbled, the shifting oil market threatens to put the industry and local governments on a collision course. Farming and ranching communities that committed to building homes, roads and schools for the swelling population are worried about how they will pay for those improvements as oil-related tax revenue evaporates. “Everyone is asking the same question: Holy cats, where do we go from here?” said Dean Bangsund, an economist at North Dakota State University who has

tried to help oil-rich McKenzie County gauge its needs, with an eye toward balancing growth against revenues. But none of his economic models were pessimistic enough to match how low oil prices dropped.

For now, the oil extraction goes on. Despite the price plummet, drilling remains profitable in the heart of the state’s Bakken oil patch, due to the sheer volume of crude flowing from so-called hot-spots.

And so the building continues in Watford City, a century-old town that once marked the end of the line for the Great Northern Railroad. Roughly 60 rigs are drilling in surrounding McKenzie County — 40 percent of the rigs statewide. New neighborhoods and retail centers creep ever deeper into former wheat fields. “We’re making a new, 15,000-person city in the middle of a pasture,” said Brent Sanford, mayor of Watford, the county seat. “The question is if we get money put into the pot to do it.” The county, which a decade ago had a population of about 5,000, has become a magnet for “man camps,” where newly arriving workers and their families live in trailers, RVs and just about any other structure that can stand up to North Dakota’s whipping winds.

GM switch claims climb More than 1,100 claims were filed in the week before Saturday’s deadline to seek payments from the General Motors ignition-switch compensation fund. So far, 51 death and 77 injury claims have been granted. But the fund’s deputy administrator said the number of granted claims is likely to rise as she and her boss, compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg, sort through at least 4,180 claims that came before the deadline passed. GM was aware of faulty ignition switches on Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade, but it didn’t recall them until 2014.

Chrysler said it’s not aware of any accidents or injuries.

By Mark Stevenson SIERRA MADRE DEL SUR, Mexico — Red and purple blossoms with fat, opium-filled bulbs blanket the remote creek sides and gorges of the Filo Mayor mountains in the southern state of Guerrero. The multibillion-dollar Mexican opium trade starts here, with poppy farmers so poor they live in wood-plank, tin-roofed shacks with no indoor plumbing. Mexican farmers from three villages interviewed by The Associated Press are feeding a growing addiction in the U.S., where heroin use has spread from back alleys to suburbia. The heroin trade is a losing prospect for everyone except the Mexican cartels, who have found a new way to make money in the face of falling cocaine consumption and marijuana legalization in the United States. Once smaller-scale producers of low-grade black tar, Mexican drug traffickers are now refining opium paste into high-grade white heroin and flooding the world’s largest market for illegal drugs, using the distribution routes they built for marijuana and cocaine. It is a business that even the farmers don’t like. In a rare interview with reporters, the villagers told the AP that it’s too difficult to ship farm products on roads so rough and close to the sky that cars are in constant danger of tumbling off them. They say the small, plastic-wrapped bricks of gummy opium paste are the only thing that will guarantee them a

American freight railroads are planning to spend $29 billion this year on upgrades to their tracks, locomotives and other equipment. The Association of American Railroads said Monday that this year’s capital spending will be higher than the $27 billion the railroads spent last year. The trade group says railroads are also planning to hire roughly 15,000 people this year to help handle growing rail traffic and replace departing rail workers.

Combined with dangerous additives like fentanyl, a synthetic opiate also produced in Mexico, it is blamed for a wave of new addictions and overdoses in the U.S. Heroin deaths doubled from 2011 to 2013, while deaths from cocaine and prescription opiates remained steady, according to the Centers for Disease Control

Chevron, which is in the midst of its own boom of new mega-projects, posted similar results Friday. It managed to eke out a small gain in production, but posted a 30 percent decline in profit. Exxon and Chevron’s bad timing highlights a perennial problem for major oil and gas companies. They produce so much oil that just replacing it all is difficult as oil fields naturally decline. “It’s impossible for an oil company this size to grow and maintain growth over time,” says Gheit of Exxon. “It’s like a dog with its tail.” The bigger companies must develop enormous projects that deliver huge amounts of oil and gas to

and Prevention. It used to be that Mexican cartels shipped brown heroin from Colombia along with their homegrown black tar. But all producers are making the high-grade white now, and Mexican criminal gangs have learned that they can increase their profits exponentially if they manage the whole production chain. The Sinaloa cartel farms out most production of opium paste to smaller traffickers, according to growers, law enforcement and drug-trafficking experts interviewed by the AP. That kind of decentralized system is a recipe for setting Guerrero’s small, feuding drug gangs, against each other.

But these projects, especially now that they must reach oil and gas in isolated locations, politically difficult countries, or extreme geological formations, take tens of billions of dollars and years of development. Exxon and Chevron will both reduce spending on big capital projects this year, but that will only affect projects far in the future. The ones already under way will continue. Exxon has more new projects starting up this year, including an expansion of an already-large operation in the Canadian oil sands called Kearl, which will eventually produce 500,000 barrels of oil per day.

barrels per day. Chevron is in the midst of a push to grow production by 20 percent by 2017, to 3.1 million barrels of oil and gas per day. Last year, it started two big oil projects in the Gulf of Mexico and a natural gas project in Bangladesh. This year, Chevron expects to start up another new big Gulf of Mexico project and the first of of two giant natural gas projects in Australia that, at $54 billion, is one of the most expensive projects ever. There’s an upside to low prices for the major oil companies. When oil prices drop and drilling activity slows, rig operators and other companies that work for big oil producers charge less. That could lower the cost of new exploration and even projects already under construction, making them more profitable over the long term.

more than he could make in a month at any legitimate job, if there were any legitimate jobs around. But they can lose a season’s work in a few minutes to the government helicopters that spray powerful herbicides on any fields they find. The herbicide kills both the poppies and anything around them. No one in these villages has been told what it is. And it can kill or damage Ocote pine trees, allowing beetles to attack the weakened trees, and then neighboring trees, farmers said. “The money the government spends on aerial spraying would better be spent on long-term development projects,” Nava Reyna said.

Then oil prices began to drop, falling to roughly $50 a barrel now. Daniel Kuo, vice president of a Chinese-backed real estate company that’s building a 2,000-unit housing complex on the outskirts of Watford, keeps a close eye on oil prices. He’s met with McKenzie County economic-development agents to soothe any worries that the company might pull back. “You’re in too deep to let a price blip derail you,” Kuo concluded at the end of one meeting.

mountains, most of the opium paste is shipped to wholesale collection points. There it is packed aboard passenger buses for “shotgun” smuggling to labs sometimes as far as the U.S. border. Once the paste becomes heroin, it is moved like any other drug in cars, trailers, buses, and mules across the border to the U.S. market. Many farmers say they would like to give up poppy cultivation and plant legitimate crops. In two of the three villages the AP visited, residents have tried planting avocados, a crop that can bring cash income at similar altitudes in the neighboring state of Michoacan. They have also built trout ponds. But the trout are small because of a lack of food, and avocados take at least seven years before they yield a viable amount of fruit.

Dakota Legislature have pledged to keep publicworks improvements as a priority. Whether that’s sustainable depends on how long oil prices stay down. Oil and gas revenue forecasts for the state already have dropped $4 billion, reducing earlier projections by roughly half. Towns like Watford are worried about getting saddled with all the downsides of the boom — dangerously crowded roads, overtaxed utilities, jam-packed schools and unchecked growth — without the financial means to impose order. “At this point, it’s like downtown Seattle,” said Aaron Pelton, who owns Outlaws’ Bar and Grill along Watford’s main thoroughfare. “If you can’t come to a small community and have a quality of life, what do you have?”

Bureau reported that state and federal officials are investigating an oil spill from a railroad tank car at the BP Cherry Point refinery last November, but key agencies didn’t know about it for at least a month. The spill wasn’t discovered until the train arrived at the refinery on Nov. 5, when Federal Railroad Administration inspectors discovered oil stains on its sides and wheels, according to reports reviewed by McClatchy. Further inspection revealed an open valve and a missing plug. The car was also 1,611 gallons short. So what happened to those 1,611 gallons of oil? As

McClatchy reported: “Neither the railroad, nor the thirdparty company that unloaded the oil at the terminal, however, could determine where the missing oil had spilled, making it likely that it had leaked somewhere along the train’s 1,200-mile path between the loading terminal in Dore, North Dakota, and the refinery, near Ferndale.” Some 1,611 gallons of oil spilled somewhere along the train’s 1,200 mile journey, and was only noticed once it reached its destination. And then, as McClatchy discovered, key agencies did not know about the spill for at least a month. That’s despite the fact that an oil spill of that size from a marine tanker, a refinery or a storage facility would normally trigger an automatic wellestablished set of notification requirements that would result in the information about the

incident flowing promptly to local, state and federal agencies, McClatchy reported. There are also state and federal hotlines to report oil spills; another route not taken by those who discovered the oil at Cherry Point. It wasn’t until Dec. 3 that the Washington state Utilities and Transportation Commission found out when it received a copy of the report BNSF Railway submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Railroads have 30 days to file such reports. The news never reached the state Department of Ecology, which responds to inland oil spills; the U.S. Coast Guard, which responds to oil spills along navigable waterways; or the Whatcom County Unified Emergency Coordination Center. The agencies were informed of the spill by McClatchy. BNSF

and BP both issued “not our fault” statements. State law requires railroads to report any hazardous materials release to the state emergency operations center within 30 minutes of learning of the incident; the report BNSF filed to federal regulators indicates that no local emergency services were notified at the time of the incident, McClatchy reported. Washington has four rail inspectors, but not one for locomotives and equipment, McClatchy reported. With a state inspector at the site, the spill would have been reported immediately. It’s clear that a state inspector is needed at our largest refinery. Language can easily be added to oil train safety bills already introduced in the Legislature to make it so. It’s the very least we could do.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MOMS COLUMN

Please put brake on judgements I usually enjoy reading Jennifer Bardsley, but have to call major foul on her comment regarding arriving early at school and supposedly witnessing “students eating free and reduced breakfast who are also wearing $80 jerseys.” (Sunday, I Brake for Moms column, “Some of us aren’t football crazy; please don’t hold it against us.”) I wonder how Jennifer might know who is eating “free and reduced.” That’s private information, and school breakfast is available to any student who chooses. I’m deeply offended by the insensitive and implied judgment, and expect far better from someone who purports to “Brake for Moms.” Even if, by some magical power, Jennifer knows who in her school might qualify for free and reduced lunch, I don’t believe that gives her the right to comment on their choice of clothing, or how much it may or may not cost. Let’s brake for all moms, and let’s give all moms — and kids! — a break! Some things are just none of our business. Chris Kratz Lynnwood

■■MOMS COLUMN

Ignorance or prejudice at play? Sunday’s column by Jennifer Bardsley caused me to sit up and take notice. I do not care if she likes/dislikes football. What caught my eye were her statements about kids sitting in the cafeteria “eating free and reduced price breakfasts who are also wearing $80 jerseys.” Am I to assume that she spoke with these children and their parents to determine why the children were eating and why they were dressed in football gear? In her talking to these children or their parents did she determine how they got these items? Maybe the only Christmas or birthday gift? A grandparent? Other friend or relative? The sweeping opinion in this column shows either ignorance or a prejudice against families in tough times. I am in the neighborhood of twice Mrs. Bardsley’s age and have seen, met and known many families across the financial spectrum. Almost all have a story if asked. I usually enjoy her writings, but will read with a more questioning eye in the future. Patricia Tiede Everett

Keep your messy felines inside I’m hoping someone will write a letter giving me a good reason not to trap and take to the pound all the loose cats that come into my yard. I’m tired of them crapping in my flower beds and riling up my dogs. We have a fenced yard, front and back, and keep our dogs from roaming and doing their business on our neighbors’ yards. When dogs poop in someone’s yard, the owners are practically vilified, yet the cat owners tell me theirs are “outside” cats. I really get a hoot when I see “lost cat” posters in the neighborhood.

Conservation must play part Revisiting the Growth Management Comprehensive Plan highlights a number of discrepancies that occurred within the original plan. As the guest commentary by Guy Palumbo points out, the intense development in the remaining unincorporated sectors without proper infrastructure has created a traffic chaos in residential sectors. (Saturday, “Transportation planning crucial to meet county growth.”) Furthermore, the planning failed to protect many areas critical to the health of Puget Sound, waterways and highland bluffs, deep ravines in the southwest corridor. Alternative 1, suggested by Kristin Kelly, would help this severe oversight by putting more intensity within Everett and Lynnwood. This allows for access to public transportation — if people will use it. Unfortunately, even this plan is not a cure for the lack of foresight in protecting the highly sensitive regions near Edmonds, Meadowdale Park, Picnic Point and along the western Puget Sound fringe of the unincorporated southwest corridor. That can only happen with intentional conservation and preservation! Another oversight as pointed out in a recent meeting of the Conservation Futures Board is a lack of open space adjacent to these new, densely packed developments. Individuals and families must drive to areas for recreation. Quality of life means citizens require corridors of green where they can play, walk, run, bike and refresh themselves. Children need to experience the value of being outside! Houses alone are not an answer to creating a healthy community. The county Planning Department, the Snohomish County Council and all those in positions of leadership know that this

■■RETIREMENT

Devil in details of programs There was a time when workers used to enjoy pensions from their employers in return for decades of service. Those days are over for the most part. Instead, tax-deferred programs like 401(k)s and deferred compensation programs have taken their place. This shifts the economic responsibility from the company onto the workers. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? You and maybe your employer pay into an investment account that will grow into a nest egg for your retirement. However, there are a few things in the details they don’t like to talk about. When you reach 70 ½ years old, you have to start withdrawing money from your investment account; the one that you were supposedly in charge of. One letter writer to this paper was forced to withdraw 3.6 percent a year after reaching that age. Other accounts run at 7.5 percent a year. So now you have drain your account and find somewhere to put it. And, those withdrawals are considered income and have to be added to your income for tax calculations. It’s easy to blame the IRS, but they are just the messenger for Congress, which passes these kinds of laws. They are the ones who are responsible and need to be contacted. It seems to be their mission to put as much burden as possible on hard-working middle-class citizens. Lloyd Brodniak Everett

Now is the time to spend on infrastructure

o understand why the centerpiece initiative of President Obama’s budget makes so much sense, imagine that U.S. corporations decided to bring home — in cash — the estimated $2 trillion in profits they are stashing overseas to avoid paying taxes. If they shipped the money by air, cargo planes stuffed with dollar bills would land at aging airports that no longer measure up to international standards. EUGENE ROBINSON If they sent it by sea, the cash would arrive at ports too antiquated to accommodate the newest and biggest container ships. Either way, the money would eventually be loaded onto trucks that headed for their final destinations via crumbling, traffic-choked freeways and rusting bridges. So the president’s idea is hard to argue with: Impose a one-time 14 percent tax on those foreign profits to partially fund a multi-year, $478 billion program to renew the nation’s sagging infrastructure. The rest of the money would come from the existing gasoline tax. Corporations would surely squawk — since at present they are paying no U.S. tax on that offshore money — but in return they would get permanent cuts in corporate tax rates, with the levy on overseas profits slashed nearly by half. And Republicans have long maintained that they want corporate tax reform and recognize the need for new infrastructure spending. Therefore GOP leaders immediately announced their opposition to Obama’s budget and everything it stands for. A joint statement by the chairmen of the budget committees in the House and Senate accused the president of advocating “the same tired agenda that has failed to deliver for American families.” Is it just me, or does that sounds like the same tired criticism that has failed to comport with reality? It’s not just me. Obama has an economic track record that Republicans are going to be hard pressed to ignore. Unemployment is down to 5.6 percent, the economy continues to grow at a healthy pace and deficits have plummeted. If the GOP wishes to have any credibility, the party will have to stop pretending we live at a time of unrelieved doom and gloom. Obama has taken advantage of good economic news to play offense with the budget, rather than defense. For most of his tenure, the president has had to work around the margins of federal spending. Overall, the president’s budget proposes a 7 percent increase in federal spending. This reflects the sensible view that the $18 trillion federal debt — admittedly, a lot of money — is quite manageable as a percentage of gross domestic product. Relative to the size of the economy, the debt will actually shrink over the next 10 years, according to White House budget projections. The budget seeks an end to what the White House calls “mindless austerity” and gives concrete shape to all the rhetoric — gushing from both parties — about the need to create new opportunity for the struggling middle class. The time to spend on domestic priorities is when deficits are falling, interest rates are at historic lows and key sectors of the economy would sorely benefit from an infusion of cash. That would be now. Obama proposes doing away with the budget caps imposed by sequestration. Republicans may balk at giving up hardwon limits on domestic spending, but at the same time they are eager to relax the sequestration limits on defense spending — and Obama’s budget would give an extra $38 billion to the Pentagon. If the GOP can get its members on the same page, there’s an obvious deal to be made. The budget would raise new revenue from the wealthiest taxpayers and the largest banks. Republicans have already attacked such proposals as “redistributionist” and representative of “the politics of envy.” A better description would be “progressive taxation” — the basic idea that those who earn more should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. If this is a battle the GOP wants, Democrats should welcome the fight. If Republicans were clever, they might critique Obama’s budget for focusing too much on the middle class and not enough on the poor. They might propose a new effort to create opportunity and upward mobility for those at the very bottom. What about a partial tax holiday for corporations that invest their overseas profits in low-income communities? Come on, GOP, get in the game.

$17M suit filed in Skagit River Bridge collapse By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — A lawsuit filed Monday by the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking at least $17 million to recover costs related to the 2013 Skagit River Bridge collapse. The lawsuit, filed in Skagit County Superior Court, names several parties as responsible: William Scott, the truck driver whose oversized truck hit the bridge; the driver’s employer, Mullen Trucking LP; the pilot car driver, Tammy Detray, and her company, G&T Crawlers; and the owner of the metal

shed being transported, Saxon Energy Services, Inc. A section of the bridge fell into the water after Scott’s load hit the bridge in Mount Vernon, about 60 miles north of Seattle in May 2013. Two other vehicles fell into the Skagit River, and three people were rescued with minor injuries. The filing notes that the vertical clearance pole mounted on Detray’s truck repeatedly struck the overhead bridge sway braces, but states that because she was talking on a cellphone at the time, she didn’t relay that information to Scott. The suit also states that Scott should have known that

Foes of studded tires in state gain traction Associated Press SPOKANE — Opposition to studded winter tires is gaining traction in Washington, transportation officials say. Joe Tortorelli, vice chairman of the Washington State Transportation Commission, supports phasing out studs to save millions on highway and street maintenance. The equipment is used when it snows and can damage streets. “I think it’s time,” he told The SpokesmanReview last week. Banning the use of studded tires is one of the recommendations in the commission’s 20-year transportation plan. Illinois, Michigan,

Wisconsin and Minnesota already have banned studs, Tortorelli said. Some Washington lawmakers also are pushing to restrict studded tires. Bills in the state House and Senate would require drivers to purchase a permit each year to use studs, with the money helping repair roadway ruts. The House version calls for a $100 annual permit, with a violation carrying a $500 fine. The Senate version calls for a $75 annual permit with a $75 fine. Studded tires are legal in Washington from Nov. 1 to March 31. But new snow tires without studs provide good traction and safety, Tortorelli said.

he had positioned his oversized load on the side of the bridge that has the least clearance. “The sudden, unexpected and catastrophic collapse of the Skagit River Bridge caused by the defendants’ actions placed the lives of other motorists at or near the Skagit River Bridge in immediate jeopardy,” the lawsuit states. In November, the Washington State Patrol issued a report on its final findings from the collapse, saying that Scott hit 11 arced sway braces on the bridge during the accident that sent two cars into the river. The report notes that Scott, who was driving the

truck with the tall load for Mullen Trucking, was permitted to carry a load of no higher than 15-feet nine inches. After the collapse, his truck was measured at 15-feet 11 inches, a detail that was previously made public during a National Transportation Safety Board investigation. Scott was ticketed last May for negligent driving. In July, the National Transportation Safety Board said that insufficient route planning, a distracted pilot driver and an inadequate permitting process by the state of Washington all played a part in the accident. Detray told investigators the clearance pole

considered,” Councilwoman Stephanie Wright said. Bringing the project to a dead stop won’t be cheap, either. The county has spent $7 million so far, more than half of that to buy out a halfdozen properties in the proposed footprint. On top of those costs, county analysts also are trying to get a better read on how much it would cost to pay interest obligations on bonds the county has sold to fund the project. Figures in the millions of dollars were being batted about Monday, but also couched as educated guesses. “If we’re not working with the same set of numbers, we can’t make a good decision,” Ryan said. The longer county leaders wait, the more they can expect costs to grow — without anything to show

for it. Every month of delay will add an estimated $193,000 to the project’s costs, mostly because of the market forces driving up prices, county staff said. For now, the county is trying to establish with Everett planners the exact number of parking spaces they’ll have to provide and in what form. To help meet the goal, the county could clear extra space in its existing underground garage by parking 115 fleet vehicles somewhere else, facilities director Mark Thunberg wrote to city planning director Allan Giffen last week. Because there’s no money to build a new parking garage, the county’s only realistic option for new parking spaces would be a surface lot on the site of the old courthouse once it’s demolished, Thunberg said. The county also is asking for leeway on previous

mounted on her vehicle never struck the bridge. She also said she was using her cellphone on a handsfree device at the time of the accident. However, in the most recent report, State Patrol detectives determined that the pole did hit the bridge, and should have triggered a warning. Investigators also found that Scott was trailing too close to the pilot car, and wouldn’t have been able to stop in time even if he was notified. Ed Scherbinski, president, of Canada-based Mullen Trucking, said by phone Monday that he had heard a filing was coming, but hadn’t yet seen it

and couldn’t comment. Scherbinski said that Scott is still employed with the company, but was currently on a job in the Arctic and wasn’t available for comment. A message left with Saxon Energy Services, Inc. was not immediately returned. A woman who identified herself as Detray’s daughter at a number listed for her company said that her mother was not interested in talking. The 59-year-old Skagit bridge carries an average of 71,000 vehicles a day over the river on I-5. Workers installed an emergency span and then replaced it with a permanent one in September 2013.

parking agreements with the city, because staffing at the main campus has fallen about 100 people short of projected levels. Giffen wrote back that the county’s suggestions are worth discussing. The County Council plans to keep the courthouse on its agenda every Monday until a course of action is clear. Throughout 2014, representatives from the administrations of Mayor Ray Stephanson and County Executive John Lovick met to discuss how a larger redevelopment initiative could tie in with the courthouse project. Stephanson’s office suggested a makeover along part of Hewitt Avenue, an area that would be on the back side of the future courthouse. The concept called for streetlevel shops at the base of a large parking structure. The mayor said he was clear about requiring the new court building to provide parking, even though city zoning when the project was proposed

required none. Instead, the county went ahead with designs to build the eight-story building with 30 to 40 restricted parking spaces for judges and other court staff. Lovick’s administration has contended that the new courthouse will merely replace the 1967 one that will eventually be torn down. The proposed courthouse also would take out an existing lot with 130 surface parking spaces. Everett officials contend the county failed to fulfill a 2002 agreement about downtown parking as a condition of building a new jail and administration building. On Christmas Eve, the Everett City Council passed an emergency ordinance to require more than 300 parking spaces in the new building. Without any contingency in the courthouse budget, county leaders say they’d be hard-pressed to find the $20 million to $45 million it would cost to build a parking garage with that much capacity.

Debunking eight myths concerning diabetes

iabetes has become so common that one in eight American adults have it. Right now the chronic condition afflicts 29 million people aged 20 years or older living in this country. Problems with the production or action of the hormone insulin lead to high blood sugar levels, which can result in serious complications. These range from premature heart disease and stroke to blindness, kidney failure and leg amputations. The risk of death for people with diabetes is twice as high as that for people of the same age who don’t have the disease. Briefly, there are two main types of diabetes — types 1 and 2. Type 1 diabetes results from the inability to produce enough insulin. It usually begins in children and young adults, who must have insulin delivered by pump or injection to survive. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not use insulin properly, and treatment may start with diet or pills. This form is associated with older age and obesity and makes up over 90 percent of the diabetes in this country. New cases of type 2 diabetes have doubled over the past 30 years in the U.S. The increase has happened in both men and women. And while type 2 is usually reserved for adults, the condition has grown more frequent among children and adolescents. At all ages, scientists say that weight gain and physical inactivity are the main factors in the disease. These are risks we can do something about. It all starts with awareness. At the present time, one-third of adults with diabetes don’t know they have it. Also, misconceptions about the lifelong illness are very common. Here from the American Diabetes Association are just the facts on eight myths about diabetes. Myth No. 1: You can catch diabetes from someone who has it. Fact: Diabetes isn’t contagious like the flu. Major causes include lifestyle, aging and heredity. Myth No. 2: Diabetics can’t eat sweets. Fact: People with diabetes can eat sweets and desserts as part of a healthy balanced diet and exercise plan. Myth No. 3: Eating sugar causes diabetes. Fact: Weight gain from too little exercise and too many calories is strongly linked with type 2 diabetes. The calories can come from sugar, protein or fat. Research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes. Myth No. 4: Avoid insulin since it puts weight on. Fact: For most diabetics, the benefit of better blood sugar control with insulin far outweighs the possible risk of gaining weight. Myth No. 5: People with diabetes need special food. Fact: Special foods aren’t necessary. Just like healthful eating plans for the general public, a diet that contains moderate amounts of salt, sugar and fat, and ample vegetables, fruits and whole grains brings the most health benefits.

ot an extra $70,000 lying around? You can get a screaming deal on this car. It’s that majestic lime-green machine in the glass gazebo in front of the Hyundai dealership on Evergreen Way in Everett. It’s no Hyundai. It’s a 1937 Packard sedan with 350 LT1 engine, 700R4 transmission and storied past. We’re talking bullet holes and bandits. “The way the story goes is that in the late ’30s or early ’40s the car was involved in a bank robbery. I can’t substantiate it,” said dealership owner Gary Micallef. “Supposedly the car was left in this farmer’s field back east. The man who restored it found bullet holes throughout.” The bank robbery gone wrong is depicted in tiny murals along the car’s running boards. “The picture starts out at a bank in a city and then you see a police car chasing this Packard, bullets flying backand-forth and money flying out of the car,” Micallef said. “Then you follow it forward and there’s a little sign with an arrow that says ‘Certain Doom’ and on the end there’s a cemetery. The car’s name is Certain Doom based on this story.” The Packard hasn’t seen much action since Micallef bought it in 2007 at the Hot August Nights classic car show in Reno. It was a custom rebuild on the original frame and body with about 300 miles. He has put about 2,000 very carefully driven miles on it. Micallef put the Packard in the gazebo last fall to store it. People stopped to look. After a price inquiry, he put a $69,995

It’s a bargain. “The guy who did this car had well over $100,000 in it,” he said. “I got it for $80,000.” What’s it like driving it? “Want to go for a ride?” he asked. As if that was even a question. Vroom! We were off.

The chrome hood ornament on the 1937 Packard shines. Gary Micallef purchased the car at a Reno auto show in 2007.

Man, this car has gusto. “It’s a hot rod,” Micallef said. “It’s not a speed car, but it will go pretty darn fast. I’ve had it going down the freeway 80. I don’t really push it real hard. It’s more of a cruiser. You drive it around. People look at you, they wave at you. You got a stereo system that will just about knock you out, if you wanted it to.” He cranked on the cruisin’ music. I could ride in this baby to Reno. Instead, I made do with tooling around Evergreen Way, looking out at the world through 1937 shaped windows and feeling special. This is a happy car, there’s certainly no doom about it anymore. If Micallef was worried about rock chips or being rear-ended by a SUV, he didn’t show it. “It’s got all the amenities,” he said. “Garage door openers.

Bluetooth for your phone. Electronic door openers. Drink holders. LED lighting that glows underneath. It’s been all limoed out inside.” I see why he fell in love with it that hot August night in Reno. “It was so unique. I had never seen anything like this,” he said. “It’s my favorite car.” He’s ready to part with the joy ride of his life. “It’s time for another owner,” he said. “I don’t use it often. I have a ’70 Chevelle, a ’66 Mustang, ’70 Chevy pickup.” Those cars have been in the gazebo before. “Sometimes I just put a Hyundai in there,” he said, “and actually try to sell one of those.” Want to buy it? Contact Micallef at Hyundai of Everett, 7800 Evergreen Way; 425-374-0180 or www.hyundaiofeverett.com.

Death announcements on Facebook are distressing

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I am faced with a terminally ill parent and a large, loud, gossipy extended family, all of whom are very easily offended and all of whom handle death in a way that my parents, siblings, our spouses and I find distressing and distasteful. As social media becomes more and more present in our lives, the last few passings in the clan have been announced online by family members within minutes of the death. I hate finding out this way. Everyone also “talks” to the person who died via their Facebook walls, and continues to address the deceased in the present tense on the anniversary of their death and what would have been their birthday. I know I can’t orchestrate how people grieve, and if this brings them comfort, that’s their business, but I can’t think of very much that’s more depressing than having to see them, year after year, online and addressing my parent as if s/he is still alive. Is there any way to convey that we would prefer things to be done the old-fashioned way, and would like to not only break the news ourselves, via phone calls, but also prefer things to be private and

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT tasteful and mostly offline? Or are we wrong and not “with it”? Is there a way to say, hey, thanks for remembering, but it’s really freaking creepy that you’re talking to them — how about giving my living parent a call? — Grief Vultures You say you can’t orchestrate how people grieve, but then you ask how to orchestrate how people grieve. Your distress about this is understandable, and certainly that on top of your parent’s illness can be overwhelming — so please don’t exacerbate the problem by attempting the impossible. Instead, concentrate on the things you can do. You can, for one, ask them to get in touch with your parent now. “S/he is not strong enough for visits, but a quick hello email, call or video would be a real mood-booster.”

When the time comes, you can also “break the news ourselves” without announcing your intention to do so. And, an immediate family member can have Facebook remove a decedent’s account, so you have the power to pre-empt those depressing postmortem “talks.” I also recommend that you hide these relatives from your social media feeds or stay offline, at least until you’re more ready to face distressing content. It’s not perfect, but one click wipes out about 90 percent of the problem, and when does that ever happen? To take it a step further, your actions are yours to control, but your relatives’ offense is not your problem, as long as you are warm and civil and careful to include everyone using a form of communication you’re comfortable using. For example, if you notify everyone by individual phone call, then, sure, they’re entitled to get offended that you didn’t post an immediate status update, but you are also entitled to respond with a blank stare if anyone complains about that to you. I’m sorry about your parent. It really is OK just to X this socialmedia concern off what must be a full and heavy list of things to do. Washington Post Writers Group

5 What bulldogs’ jowls

Dear Abby: I’m a 42-year-old divorced woman with no children. My ex-husband has a son whose life I was a part of for 18 years. When people ask if I have kids, my reply is, “Yes, I have a stepson.” Why do people think it’s OK to say things like, “That’s not the same as having your own,” or, “That doesn’t count”? Then they usually go on to ask why I don’t have children of my own. My response is a big fat lie. I say, “It just never happened.” The truth is my ex didn’t want any more children. What can I say to these people to let them know that they need to stop and think about what they say and ask, because their word choice in this circumstance is hurtful to the point of tears? — Stepmom In California Dear Stepmom: A person who would downplay your role as a parent is rude, thoughtless and not worth your time. As to asking why someone is childless, I have addressed this subject in my column before. While many folks start conversations by asking whether someone has children, it can be a dangerous question. I learned my lesson and stopped asking after having received an answer from one man that his son was doing life in prison as an accomplice to murder. Another man told me he had two children, a daughter and an estranged son who was also serving a long sentence — for selling narcotics. Neither person was happy to have been asked. After that, I stopped asking. I see no reason why you shouldn’t simply tell the truth about why you are child-free. Not having RIP HAYWIRE

(or wanting) children is nothing to be ashamed of — it’s a personal choice that an increasing number of couples have opted for without regret. Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for 18 months. Last night we were talking about doing more in the bedroom, and he told me that he is bisexual. I have nothing against the LGBT community, but finding this out after so long shocked me. I’m worried now, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that he has sex with guys. I just can’t quite look at or think of him the same way. I really do love him and can still see a future with him. I just don’t know how to handle this BIG news. Please, Abby, you’re my only hope. — Liz In Texas Dear Liz: I would be curious about why your boyfriend waited so long to tell you. Because someone is bisexual does not mean the person is unfaithful and sleeping with both sexes at the same time. It simply means the person is attracted to members of both sexes. You need to have further discussion with your boyfriend regarding his attitude about his COMMITMENT TO YOU before deciding what to do about his “big” news. Universal Uclick

He put up dummy’s king on the first spade and was relieved when it won. East signaled with the ten. The Cynic counted eight tricks: a spade, four clubs, two diamonds and a heart.

spade tricks for down one. Cy tried once and didn’t succeed. He could get extra cheese — I mean an extra chance — by taking the A-K of diamonds before finessing in hearts. If the queen fell, he would be home. But Cy’s best play — best psychologically — is to lead the queen of hearts from dummy at Trick Two. Only a super-expert or novice East would fail to cover if he had the king. So when East plays low, Cy can take the ace, cash the ace of diamonds, go to the ace of clubs and return a diamond to his jack to land nine tricks.

A negative double is possible (if a part of your methods) but might only delay the problem. You might stretch to compete with a bid of three hearts if your queen of clubs were a low club. Take a chance and jump to four hearts. This is not a huge overbid; your king of spades will probably be worth a trick.

Johnny Depp: ‘I was attacked by chupacabra’ TOKYO — Johnny Depp has recovered from a cold. And a chupacabra attack. The 51-year-old actor was all smiles while joking Wednesday with journalists in Tokyo about why he was a no-show at a news conference a day earlier. Depp explained he had been ill but said that wasn’t the reason. “I was attacked yesterday morning by a very rarely seen or experienced animal called ‘chupacabra.’ I fought with it for hours.

They’re very persistent, very mean. And I’m pretty sure it came into my suitcase. I threw him off the 23rd floor. So we’ll never see him again. Thank you for understanding,” he said. The chupacabra is a legendary creature rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. Depp’s tale drew laughs from the crowd of reporters. When asked what the title character in his latest film would do if he was in

the room, Depp channeled the character and replied, “He would probably say Johnny Depp something like ‘How do you do?’. My name is Charlie Mortdecai and I’ve come here to take as much money from you as I possibly can. And jewelry, and art, and stuff.”’ More than 200 journalists were kept waiting for

an hour before organizers canceled Tuesday’s event because Depp was unwell. “Mortdecai,” an eccentric heist comedy, tanked at the box office, making an estimated $4.1 million in North America and $5.2 million elsewhere last weekend. Depp has a huge fan base in Japan and said he hopes the film will be received well in the country. “Mortdecai” will be released in Japan on Feb. 6. Associated Press

THEATER

Parsons to play God in Broadway’s ‘An Act of God’ NEW YORK — Jim ....from a Parsons is going scientific nerd in “The Big Bang Theory” to a pretty big religious role — the Almighty. Producers on Thursday said Parsons will star in a stage adaptation of the humor book “The Last Testament: A Memoir by God” on Broadway. The play, called “An Act of God,” is adapted by its

author, David Javerbaum. Two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello, who also helmed Jim Parsons “Wicked” and “Other Desert Cities,” will direct the show, which begins performances May 5 at the Studio 54 theater.

Parsons, who won four Emmys for “The Big Bang Theory,” has Broadway credits that include the comic “Harvey” and the heartbreaking “The Normal Heart.” Javerbaum is the Emmy Award-winning former head writer and executive producer of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” He also co-wrote the score to the 2008 musical

“Cry-Baby” and songs for the Tony Awards hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, including the tune “Broadway Is Not Just for Gays Anymore.” The show is produced by Jeffrey Finn, who has produced “The Elephant Man,” “Seminar,” “Scandalous,” ‘’Dead Accounts” and “The Realistic Joneses.” Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Feb. 3, the 34th day of 2015. There are 331 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Feb. 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens held a shipboard peace conference off the Virginia coast; the talks deadlocked over the issue of Southern autonomy. On this date: In 1783, Spain formally recognized American independence. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for a federal income tax, was ratified. In 1924, the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, died in Washington, D.C., at age 67. In 1930, the chief justice of the United States, William Howard Taft, resigned for health reasons. (He died just over a month later.) In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. transport ship Dorchester, which was carrying troops to Greenland, sank after being hit by a German torpedo; of the more than 900 men aboard, only some 230 survived. In 1959, rock-and-roll

stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson died in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. In 1966, the Soviet probe Luna 9 became the first man-made object to make a soft landing on the moon. ....“Candid In 1969, Camera” creator Allen Funt and his family were aboard an Eastern Airlines flight that was hijacked to Cuba. (Fellow passengers who recognized Funt thought the whole thing was a stunt for his TV show; in an article written for The Associated Press, Funt said the whole episode “looked like a bad movie.”) IIn 1989, Alfredo Stroessner, president of Paraguay for more than three decades, was overthrown in a military coup. In 1994, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off, carrying Sergei Krikalev, the first Russian cosmonaut to fly aboard a U.S. spacecraft. In 1998, Texas executed Karla Faye Tucker, 38, for the pickax killings of two people in 1983; she was the first woman executed in the United States since 1984. Associated Press

More apps joining anti-smoking arsenal Smoots By Rene Lynch Los Angeles Times

You don’t need a crystal ball to make this projection about the future: Ditching the cigarettes is — and will likely continue to be — the single most important thing you can do for your health. And our digital devices will help make it easier, experts predict. Smoking-cessation apps are evolving and adapting so quickly that they are becoming a bit like that voice you wish you had whispering in your ear, or a helpful hand on your steering wheel,

guiding you clear of smoking “triggers” long before they have you reaching for a light. We are only beginning to get a glimpse of the type of features-rich apps that can be a powerful tool to help someone stop smoking, said David H. Gustafson, a professor of industrial engineering and preventive medicine at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. A smartphone app that uses GPS and other personal data could sound the alarm when someone is moving close to a familiar haunt that suggests trouble — like a bar where the

Schoenfeld From Page B1

We have a deep desire to be part of a “pack” that is bigger than our families and relatives. We want to feel the sense of belonging that comes with an affinity group — like a church, a company or a team. It’s team sports that appeal to our collective minds. We all feel like we are the 12th member of the Seahawks team, even if we are watching the game from the comfort of our living room.

Seahawks fever enables us to connect with each other. This is the part I love. Total strangers fist bumping, talking with each other in gym locker rooms, on buses, at restaurants and supermarkets — exclaiming “Go Hawks.” On Fridays before big games, the streets are filled with men, women, and children wearing Seahawks jerseys. We feel that we are part of one team — which is a wonderful feeling. It expresses our communal need to feel connected to each other.

beers seem to go handin-hand with the smokes. It might even be able to signal friends and loved ones who stand ready to intervene, he said. Or it could trigger a recording of a daughter’s voice saying, “Daddy, please don’t do that. Come home.” It might reek of Big Brother to some, but it could be embraced by cigarette addicts who are willing to do anything to quit, he said. “The point is to reach out to the person, see how they’re doing, remind them of key kinds of things that will be beneficial to them if they stop

smoking, and (smartphone capabilities) are changing all the time,” Gustafson said. There are plenty of smoking-cessation apps and websites on the market. And even though they might not come with a GPS-triggered phone call to your spouse, they will create a sense of support that will help some people turn away from cigarettes. All you have to do is keep searching until you find an approach that resonates with you, experts say. Would you be willing to try guided meditation when the urge strikes?

There’s an app that can help with that. Are you a tad competitive? There are apps that “dare” you to quit and stack up your progress against other users. Or how about an app that boosts your selfesteem, cheering you on each time you wrestle an urge into submission? If you’re motivated by money, plenty of apps will allow you to see how much green you’re saving. Others frighten you with an in-your-face look at the health risks. Bottom line: Don’t stop until you find the right app or online community, Gustafson said.

Athletic achievement reminds us of what we are capable of. I know that I am not able to run a football down a 100-yard field with 11 250-pound giants trying to knock me down. But the fact that someone can charge toward a goal, with amazing speed, agility and grace reminds me that I am capable of more than I think. Few of us have the athletic talent of a Marshawn Lynch or a Russell Wilson. But we can muster dedication, relentless practice, and single-mindedness to our endeavors, whatever they may be. While I will never be a great athlete, I

can be a champion dad, husband, son, or brother. I can be a Super Bowl contender in the company where I work or in the community where I live. We love it when the underdog comes from behind to win. Come on, don’t you love it when our team comes from behind and wins the game with an amazing throw, catch or run? These moments are far more inspiring than when the Seahawks obliterate an opponent 43-8. It reminds us not to give up. It’s not over until the final whistle. It’s possible to achieve your goal, even when it seems impossible. Put in

the extra effort, depend on others, and make the impossible, possible. It gives us a reason to celebrate. So who needs an excuse for a party? But during the rush to the Super Bowl end zone, we enjoyed the company of friends and family. It was a love fest. What was Seahawks fever for you?

Getchell’s Clark to walk on at UW

Soccer is Nathan Aune’s first love, but he is also a key member of the Arlington basketball team, C5

By David Krueger Herald Writer

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Arlington’s Nathan Aune (12) drives down the court during a recent game against Marysville-Pilchuck at Arlington High School. Aune is one of the Eagles’ leading scorers at 13 points per game.

Pulling double duty Soccer is his first love, but when time allows, Nathan Aune is a key contributor on the Arlington High boys basketball team By David Krueger Herald Writer

When Nathan Aune has his head down on the basketball floor, it’s not because he’s feeling bad. The Arlington senior, who also competes in one of the most prestigious youth soccer leagues in the country, is used to looking at the ground. “He’s kind of a player who just has his head down. He gets (the ball) and he just goes,” Arlington basketball coach Nick Brown said. “He sees the floor fine. You can tell he’s been trained to look at the ground, watch the ball and go find it. He just looks down and finds the path to get through guys.” When he’s not driving the lane for the Eagles, Aune is driving to Redmond for soccer practice with the Crossfire Premier U1718 team. Aune and his Crossfire teammates compete in the United States Soccer Development Academy’s Northwest Division against squads from several Major League Soccer teams, including the Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers, Vancouver Whitecaps and San Jose Earthquakes. “As far as youth club soccer goes, there’s (recreational leagues), select, academy and then you have, basically, professional soccer and national team stuff,” Aune said. “It’s very competitive. It’s a high level of soccer.” When he joined the Crossfire team — as a sophomore — one of Aune’s conditions was that he be allowed to play basketball for his high school team. Brown is glad he did. “We love him. I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to play (basketball) when I heard he was going to play for Crossfire,” Brown said. “I was going to support it, of course, but I was definitely worried. When I found out he could play, it made me a

lot happier.” Playing two sports at the same time makes Aune’s schedule hectic. He has soccer practice Tuesday through Thursday and games on most weekends. He’ll miss a soccer practice for a basketball game on a Tuesday night, but he can’t miss a soccer game for basketball. As a result, he missed four basketball games as a junior and two this year. “That was just the way the season worked out,” Aune said. “I have to leave early from practices. I try not to miss complete practices for both. It’s actually soccer that suffers sometimes because I’m not going to miss a (basketball) game to go to (soccer) practice. Neither of the programs ... have to let me do the other one, but they do and I really appreciate that.” When pressed, Aune concedes soccer is his first love. He is scheduled to sign an NCAA letter of intent this week to play soccer at Seattle University. “I’m a little better at soccer and my soccer is a higher level,” said Aune, who averages about 13 points per game for

the Arlington basketball team. “The soccer team shells out a lot more money for costs in traveling. When it comes down to it, I enjoy playing soccer more, but I love playing basketball.” That love of basketball is what motivated Aune to strike a deal with Crossfire coach Ralph Black. The academy teams don’t permit their players to play high school soccer because the schedules conflict, and they generally don’t encourage playing multiple sports. But Crossfire made an exception for Aune, a center defender, and one of his teammates. “I’ve never been against cross training,” Black said. “I always thought basketball was a great sport. He’s always incredibly athletic and competitive. I think sometimes, for Nathan, he needs both.” Playing for his high school, Aune said, has a much different feel than an academy soccer team. “Soccer is great. I have a passion for soccer but it’s not the same feel as you (get) for high school sports,” Aune said. “Even high school soccer, I wish I could play that. ... I love playing for my school. It’s just something I really missed throughout high school. Growing up, I thought my glory was going to be soccer. I thought that’s what my thing was going to be. To be able to play in high school and be able to have the success our team is having and the success I’m having, it’s been great.” His teammates like having the 6-foot-3 senior captain around as much as possible. “Everyone in this school and on the team loves Nathan,” said Connor Bovard, a senior guard. “… He’s an energy bunny.” Aune, who is a captain on his soccer team, said it’s strange that he competes at such a high level yet “50 percent of the kids in the school don’t know I play soccer.”

Soccer runs in the Aune family. Nathan’s father, Brent, played at the University of Washington. His younger brother, Evan, plays on the Snohomish United club team — the same team Nathan played for before joining Crossfire — and an Arlington AAU basketball team. Black said Aune is one of Crossfire’s leaders. “On the field he’s been tremendous,” Black said. “He’s always been a good leader. ... He’s a good locker-room guy. He laughs, he has fun, but he can be serious. You say stuff to him and he absorbs it. I’ve enjoyed having him.” If Aune had played basketball full time, he could be signing with a school for that sport instead of soccer, Brown said. “I like to think that I’ve coached some really good players in the last couple years,” said Brown, who’s never seen Aune play soccer but plans to change that in the near future. “In my 20 years of coaching, I’ve seen some really good athletes — some Division I athletes and some NFL guys — and I can honestly say if he’s not the best athlete I’ve ever coached, he’s got to be one of them. His athleticism is unreal. If he was to focus completely on basketball, it’s scary to think of how good he could be.” Like his Crossfire team, which is in fourth place in the league standings and occupying a wildcard spot for the playoffs that begin in June, Aune has helped Arlington compete for a postseason spot. The Eagles are 12-5 this season with aspirations of reaching the state tournament for the second time in three years. “Honestly, we’re lucky to have him out here,” junior guard Donavan Sellgren said. “He could just be playing one sport — soccer — but we’re lucky to have him come out and play basketball and compete with us.”

On Sunday, the MarysvilleGetchell football player turned down a handful of scholarship offers and committed to the University of Washington as a preferred walk-on, ending his recruitment just days before national-letter-of-Intent day on Wednesday. A first-team All-Wesco 3A North selection on the offensive and defensive lines, the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Clark said he will play on the defensive side of the ball for the Huskies. “I wanted to stay in Washington,” Clark said. “I didn’t want to be crazy far away. I’ve always wanted to be a Husky. That was the thing for me.” Clark, who was named to The Herald’s 2014 All-Area second team as both an offensive and defensive lineman, had several schools show interest in him, including Washington State, Utah, Eastern Washington and the University of Texas-El Paso. He visited Washington last weekend and knew by Sunday that he wanted to be a Husky. The Huskies first reached out to Clark in the spring, inviting him to one of their camps. Clark said he had a strong showing and remained in contact with UW’s coaches throughout the summer and fall. Now, he’s happy to be done with the recruiting process. “It’s a blessing but it’s a curse at the same time,” Clark said. “Between the phone calls and texts all the time, it gets tiring after awhile. It’s nice to know where I’m going now and I can prepare for that.” Clark is expected to be joined at Washington by Austin Joyner, who played for Getchell’s crosstown rival, Marysville Pilchuck. Joyner has made a verbal commitment to UW. “When he first came to Washington from Florida, we were on the same youth team,” Clark said. “It’s kind of cool being on the same team again.”

PHOENIX — Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was still stunned Monday by the outcome while defending the decision to call a pass from the 1-yard line in the Super Bowl’s closing seconds, a choice that will long be debated. So close to another celebration. So close to becoming the next NFL dynasty. “It’s pretty hard right now for all of us; I think you can all u n d e r s t a n d ,” Carroll said of the 28-24 loss to New England sealed by his and offensive coordinator Darrell Bev- Pete Carroll ell’s decision to throw on second down from the 1-yard line with a time out and 20 seconds left — and to leave the NFL’s leading touchdown maker, Marshawn Lynch, idled in the backfield instead of running the ball for the winning score. “In the long run, it will make us grow stronger,” Carroll said, adding the players’ resolve and trust in his program remain intact. “It hurts because it was so sudden. It is so far off of what should have happened for us. “We had it done.” Carroll reiterated it was his decision upon seeing New England bring in heavier, goal-line defenders inside before the decisive play to counter with three wide receivers to the right side of the formation and two tight ends. Bevell called for a quick pass by Russell Wilson to either the left side, to Doug Baldwin who had gone in motion that way, or to either Ricardo Lockette or Jermaine Kearse on the right. Wilson chose the insideslanting Lockette, who was cutting under an attempted rub-out move by Kearse. Patriots undrafted rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler didn’t wait for Kearse to pick him off or for Lockette to run to the ball. Butler sprinted back at Wilson’s throw, cut off Lockette from the ball with his outside shoulder and secured the interception we’ll be talking about around Seattle for, oh, a

SNOHOMISH — A generation ago, soccer was a fledgling sport in the United States. But over time, and with the advent of various pro leagues, American soccer grew significantly in both popularity and prowess. Now many in this country want the same for rugby. Among them are the boys of the first-year Everett Eagles U19 rugby team. The players, who come from around Snohomish County, say their goal is to give

rugby a foothold here so it can grow and prosper. Put another way, they want future kids to enjoy the game as much as they are now. “I’m a soccer player and a football player, and rugby is sort of a mix between the two sports,” said 14-year-old Trevor Vallins of Mukilteo, a freshman at Kamiak High School. “It’s like football that doesn’t stop.” Years ago,” he went on, “soccer was nonexistent in this country. But now it’s big and getting bigger. Hopefully rugby will do the same thing once people realize

Before this season, the nearest youth team for kids living in Snohomish County was in Bellevue, so Smithies worked with Pacific Northwest Rugby Union officials to get a team started in Everett. “Rugby is such a unique sport,” he said. “I’ve been an athlete all my life and played a lot of See RUGBY, Page C4

The Atlanta Falcons named Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on their head coach on Monday.

Falcons hire Quinn Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn agrees to a reported 5-year deal to become Atlanta’s head coach. By Charles Odum Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons’ long wait for new leadership on the field finally ended Monday when Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was named the team’s coach. The Falcons said Quinn will be introduced at a news conference on Tuesday. Quinn replaces Mike Smith, who was fired following a 6-10 finish in 2014. The team did not release details of the deal, but a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press earlier Monday that Quinn agreed to a five-year contract. Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he was impressed by Quinn’s “definitive plan for our football team and what it will take to win on a consistent basis.” “He also has a proven ability to develop players by maximizing their individual strengths,” Blank said. The Falcons exercised patience while waiting for Quinn, who could not be offered a job until after Seattle’s 28-24 Super Bowl loss Sunday night to the New England Patriots. “This felt like the right fit from the beginning, and I want to thank Mr. Blank for his resolve as this was an extended and complicated process,” Quinn said in a statement released by

century or two. “We were very confident in the sequence,” Carroll said. “Let me say this, too: I never call a play, I don’t coach these guys one time, thinking we are going to throw an interception or we’re going to fumble the ball. ... So when we make these decision, just like we make the decision with 6 seconds to go in the half (Wilson’s second-quarter touchdown throw to Chris Matthews that tied the score at 14), we are trusting our guys. We are trusting the process, going with what we know and what we’ve learned and how we compete. “That’s why we do what we do. That’s why sometimes we get scrutinized for stuff — ‘Why did you do this?

strong safety Kam Chancellor may need knee surgery. Thomas suffered a dislocated shoulder in the NFC title game against Green Bay. He left briefly in the first half against the Packers and played the entire second half. On Sunday, Thomas wore a brace to help protect his shoulder. Chancellor suffered a knee injury in practice on Friday, two days before facing the Patriots.

the team. “My goal is to build upon the foundation that has been laid here and to play a physical brand of football as we build a championship caliber team.” Quinn, 44, helped Seattle reach back-to-back Super Bowls. Seattle beat Denver in last year’s championship. His strong record in his two years with Seattle won over the Falcons, who have struggled on defense while finishing a combined 10-22 the past two seasons. The Falcons allowed the most total yards and yards passing in the league this season. The Seahawks led the NFL in scoring defense, total defense and takeaways while winning the Super Bowl last season. Quinn’s defense shined in the Super Bowl win over Peyton Manning and the Broncos. He previously was defensive line coach for the Seahawks, 49ers, Dolphins and Jets. Seattle ranked sixth in total defense this season. Quinn followed Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin as the second candidate to have a follow-up interview with the Falcons. Quinn’s second interview came in the bye week following the AFC championship game. Blank on Monday thanked Seattle head coach Pete Carroll for granting Quinn permission for the follow-up meeting with the Falcons.

“I would like to personally thank Seahawks coach Pete Carroll for his patience and support during our head coach search,” Blank said. “I’m sure the Seahawks will be sorry to see Dan leave, but no one has been more supportive of this opportunity for Dan than Pete.” Carroll recently described Quinn as “a great communicator” and “a fantastic teacher. He’s got a real toughness about him - innovative.” Carroll said Quinn has “tremendous relationships wherever he’s been around the league. He’s been a guy that wherever he goes people rave about. We feel the same way.” While the Falcons waited to complete their interview process with Quinn, other candidates, including Rex Ryan, were hired by other teams. Ryan, the former Jets coach, had one interview with Atlanta before accepting a job as Buffalo’s coach. Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles called off a second interview with Atlanta to become the Jets’ coach. The Falcons also interviewed New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase, former Bills coach Doug Marrone and Atlanta special teams coach Keith Armstrong. Quinn was the University of Florida’s defensive coordinator in 2011-12 before taking over the Seahawks’ defense.

you do that?’ — it’s because we believe in ourselves. And believe things are going to happen. ‘Why did you call the fake field goal (in the NFC title game)?’ Because we believed in it that it was going to work. It may be difficult on the outside to understand that, but that’s how it goes. “There was not a thought in my mind that we would make a mistake on that play — and really, the mistake was a tremendous play by the guy on the other side. Just a tremendous decision and play that changed the game and won them their championship.” As for one report Bevell had initially called a run but Carroll changed it to the fateful pass: “First off, Darrell Bevell is an incredible play caller. He did it again, put us right down in position to win the game. We are so lucky to have him. ... There is no reservation in that

thought, and don’t make it out that there is. ... He’s crucialimportant to our future here, as well. “We were going with ‘extra’ personnel, which is three wide receivers in the game. We thought about throwing the ball. That was part of the reason we sent that group in. We could have easily gone otherwise (and called a run by Lynch, the lone running back in the formation). But we knew against that goal-line personnel we had the advantage in the passing game. So let’s throw,” Carroll said. “We knew one of those downs we were likely to throw the ball, and maybe two of those downs we were going to throw the ball, depending on how we would need to save the clock. “It wasn’t about ‘just run the ball.’ That wasn’t the thought. There wasn’t a thought of, ‘Do we run the ball or pass the ball.’ That did not happen.”

Chancellor said his knee collided with a teammate’s and he had to be tested pregame to make sure the knee was stable enough to play. Carroll raved about the willingness of all three to play through their injuries. “That was a heroic thing that those guys did to play and all three of those guys might wind up getting fixed up here,” Carroll said. “They all knew it and they wanted to play for their teammates and they did exactly that and did it in great fashion.” One major injury Seattle suffered in the Super Bowl was the loss of nickel cornerback

Jeremy Lane in the first quarter. Lane suffered a badly broken left wrist after intercepting Tom Brady. Lane was injured on the interception return. “They have to wait a couple of days to make sure it’s all prepared properly and all of that, but he did have a difficult break,” Carroll said. “He’s going to be OK but it’s a significant surgery.” The only one of the top five defensive backs not injured, cornerback Byron Maxwell, became an unrestricted free agent on Monday. He’s now available to the highest bidder.

No. 12 Stanford tops Washington women 82-69 Herald news services STANFORD, Calif. — Bonnie Samuelson scored 17 points and No. 12 Stanford withstood a second-half push to get past Washington 82-69 on Monday night. It was all Stanford in the first half, and Taylor Greenfield’s 3-pointer with 1:56 left pushed the lead over 20, as the Cardinal opened a 45-29 halftime lead. Briana Roberson had 11 points in the half and Amber Orrange added nine. Washington fought back after intermission and trimmed the deficit to six after a seven-point spurt, culminated by Kelsey Plum’s layup with 9:22 left. But Stanford (17-5, 9-1 Pac12) took back control, scoring 14 of the next 16 points, including Samuelson’s 3-point push shot that made it 72-54 with 5:15 left. Roberson finished with 15 points, Orrange had 14 and Kaylee Johnson added 11 points and 17 rebounds. Aminah Williams led Washington (16-6, 5-5) with 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Jordin Canada had 19 points and 5 assists for the Bruins (8-13, 4-6). Oregon State shot 47 percent to UCLA’s 40 percent, and outrebounded the Bruins 42-32. The Beavers trailed 9-4 early in the game before going on an 18-4 run fueled by three 3-pointers by Weisner. Weisner entered the game needing 15 points to become the 18th Oregon State player to reach 1,000 points. The junior hit the milestone, then passed it, with a pair of free throws with 3:26 left in the first half. The Beavers led 42-31 at the break, and stretched the lead to as many as 22 in the second half. Hamblin came into the contest leading the Beavers with 14.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. She was second in the nation in shooting percentage at 62.9 percent.

Worst play-call in history of Super Bowl?

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel entered a treatment program at a facility last week.

Manziel seeks treatment

Browns’ rookie quarterback entered facilty last week By Tom Withers Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel has sought help to change his off-field lifestyle. Following a rough rookie season in the NFL, Manziel has entered a treatment program for unspecified reasons, an adviser for the Browns quarterback said in a statement released by the team on Monday. “Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason,” Manziel adviser Brad Beckworth said. Beckworth said the former Heisman Trophy winner entered the unnamed facility last week. He said Manziel’s family is asking for privacy until he rejoins the team. Beckworth’s statement did not indicate reasons for Manziel needing treatment. However, the 22-year-old QB’s penchant for partying followed him from college into the pros and Manziel’s nightlife has been well-chronicled by both social and mainstream media. The location of the facility where Manziel is staying is not immediately known. Browns general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement that the team fully supports Manziel and respects his initiative in entering treatment. The team will respect Manziel’s privacy during treatment, he said. “Our players’ health and well-being will always be of the utmost importance to the Cleveland Browns,” Farmer said. “We continually strive to create a supportive environment and provide the appropriate resources, with our foremost focus being on the individual and not just the football player.” Citing privacy laws, a Browns spokesman declined to provide any further information about Manziel’s situation. Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins offered his

support to Manziel on Twitter. “Much love and support to my brother Johnny,” Hawkins wrote. “Proud of him, big step. Football is secondary. God Bless!” NBA superstar LeBron James, who is both a friend and business partner of Manziel’s, also expressed his support for the young QB. “I haven’t talked to him,” James said after the Cavaliers won their 11th straight game. “As a friend I support him. I want him to get better. As friends and family we all believe in him and this is a good step if this is the route he’s going to take.” Manziel, who won the Heisman as a freshman at Texas A&M where his playmaking skills earned him his “Johnny Football” nickname, has faced questions for several years about his active nightlife. After he was drafted in May by the Browns in the first round, Manziel was repeatedly photographed drinking alcohol during weekend trips to Las Vegas. A photograph of Manziel floating on an inflatable swan raft swigging a bottle of champagne went viral. The Browns became increasingly concerned about Manziel when a photo surfaced of Manziel holding a rolled bill in a bathroom. Manziel often dismissed criticism about his behavior, insisting he wasn’t going to let others dictate to him how to live his life. However, following the season, Manziel seemed embarrassed by some of his choices and vowed to change his ways. “It’s about actions,” he somberly told reporters on Dec. 29. “It’s about being accountable and doing what I’m going to say. ... I’m either going to learn or I’m going to be finding something else to do.” Manziel’s alma mater released a statement offering its support, stating “Johnny will always be an Aggie, and we wish him well in another step in his journey.” Manziel spent the majority

of last season as starter Brian Hoyer’s backup before coach Mike Pettine switched their roles with the team still in the playoff hunt. Manziel made his first start on Dec. 14 against Cincinnati, but failed miserably. He appeared unprepared and overmatched as the Bengals defense harassed him into two interceptions and the Browns were throttled 30-0. Manziel completed 10 of 18 passes for 80 yards, was sacked twice and looked nothing like a player capable of ending Cleveland’s long search to find a franchise quarterback. The next week at Carolina, Manziel injured his hamstring on a running play before halftime and was replaced by Hoyer. Manziel was then fined by the Browns for missing a medical treatment before the season finale at Baltimore. Manziel promised he would change following the season, apologizing to Cleveland’s fans and his teammates for being a distraction. But hours after apologizing, he was photographed in Miami Beach and over the next few days there were photos of him on Instagram in a Houston nightclub and in Aspen, Colorado. The Browns have made it clear to Manziel that they expect more from him if he wants to be their leader. “Johnny has to show on and off the field he can be a professional,” owner Jimmy Haslam said on Jan. 22. “He knows that. Everybody in the organization has told him that. He knows what we expect of him on and off the field and it’s up to him to prove he can do that.” Manziel’s uncertain future could influence the Browns’ plans at quarterback. Hoyer is scheduled to become a free agent, but the Cleveland native may be willing to re-sign with Cleveland, especially if Manziel is not in the picture. The Browns also have two firstround picks (Nos. 12 and 19) in this year’s draft and may be willing to use them to land a quarterback.

PHOENIX — Former NFL lineman and Hall of Famer Warren Sapp was arrested Monday on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute and allegedly assaulting two women, Phoenix police said. Hours later, the NFL Network announced that it had terminated its contract with Sapp, who had worked as an analyst for the network since 2008 and was in Arizona for Sunday’s Super Bowl in suburban Glendale. Police said Sapp was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on suspicion of soliciting prostitution and two counts of assault, both misdemeanor offenses. He released was later in the day. Authorities said Sapp, 42, faces a maximum penalty of $2,500 in fines, six months in jail, three years’ probation and mandatory 15 days in jail if convicted on the prostitution charge. A tackle and defensive end, Sapp played in the NFL from 1995-2007 for Tampa Bay and Oakland. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013. In Monday’s incident, Phoenix police officers working security at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown hotel were investigating a noise disturbance about 2:30 a.m. when they were contacted by a woman alleging she had been assaulted. “The incident was alleged to have occurred in a guest room, after meeting in the lobby while she and another female were there as escorts,” said Sgt. Trent Crump, a police spokesman. “During a meeting in the room, an argument ensued, allegedly over money and the altercation turned physical, spilling out into the hallway. During the investigation, detectives were able to establish that an act of prostitution occurred in the room by at least one of the females.” Crump said Sapp was taken to police headquarters and questioned “and admitted involvement in the act of prostitution, but denied assaulting the females. Minor injuries consistent with a struggle were observed by investigators on both females.” They said one woman was cited for prostitution and released. The other woman was later located at a hotel in nearby Peoria and cited for a violation of the city’s escort permit requirements and released. Their names weren’t immediately released.

Super Bowl the most-watched program in U.S. television history By Neil Best Newsday

Super Bowls draw massive television ratings regardless of matchups and game results, but it never hurts to have one of the most dramatic, controversial finishes in football history. So it was for NBC in Super Bowl XLIX, which now ranks as the most-watched program in American TV history. The Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the Seahawks attracted an average audience of 114.4 million, according to Nielsen, surpassing the then-record 112.2 million for last year’s game at MetLife Stadium. The game’s rating, which measures the percentage of homes tuned in, was 47.5, the best such number since Super Bowl XX in 1986 and the fourth best ever. Five of the other top six are from 1986 or earlier, in a much less fractured media environment.

Viewership peaked at 120.8 million from 9:45 to 10 p.m. EST, as the Patriots were in the final stages of their comeback. Seattle ranked only 17th with a rating of 52.1, but its share estimate — which calculates a percentage only of those TVs actually in use — was an astounding 89. Super Bowl ratings are difficult to calculate because so many people watch outside their homes at parties or in bars and restaurants. The figures are widely assumed to be underestimated. The halftime show featuring Katy Perry averaged a 48.2 rating and a record 118.5 million viewers. Meanwhile, ESPN said viewers watched 7,167,864,300 minutes of NFL programming on its networks in the week leading up to the game, or 13,628 years worth. That’s how long it sometimes felt.

LENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks forgot who they are. And from that momentary lapse in identity came the worst play-call in Super Bowl history and a defeat that leaves the Seahawks historically irrelevant, further boosts the complicated legacy of coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and ups the stakes for Deflategate even more. All of that from a single misguided play-call? You bet. But that’s the big picture. As the football world narrowed its view to Glendale Sunday, the virtually nonstop talk of deflated footballs, of potentially tainted legacies, of what this person did or what that person failed to do, of an NFL season that began and ended amid turmoil, finally gave way to a football game Sunday evening. And what a football game it was. The Seattle defense failed to do to Brady what it had done a year ago to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. Brady threw the ball effectively. The Patriots had the early lead and had a chance to have a sizable early lead. But just as they’d done in the NFC title game, the Seahawks minimized the damage and managed to hang around. They found an unlikely offensive standout in wide receiver Chris Matthews and they seemed to take control of the game in the second half. They had a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and they looked to the most imposing defense in recent NFL memory to close the deal. It didn’t happen. Back came the Patriots. Brady threw his third and fourth touchdown passes of the night, one to Danny Amendola and the other to fellow wideout Julian Edelman, as the Patriots roared back to reclaim the lead with just more than two minutes remaining. Game over, right? Not so fast. Back came the Seahawks. Wideout Jermaine Kearse made a ridiculous juggling catch while on the ground — shades of David Tyree, the Giants receiver who helped end the Patriots’ unbeaten season in 2008 with a miraculous grab — and the Seahawks had a first down at the New England 5-yard line with a little more than a minute to go. Running back Marshawn Lynch ran the ball to the one on first down. One more handoff to Lynch, the sport’s most determined and hard-charging runner, and the Seahawks would be repeat Super Bowl champions. Brady, Belichick and the Patriots would be three-time Super Bowl losers since the last of their three Super Bowl victories at the end of the 2004 season. But that next handoff to Lynch never came. The most viable alternative to one more carry for Lynch — a fake to Lynch and a run to the perimeter by quarterback Russell Wilson — didn’t happen. Instead, the Seahawks inexplicably attempted a pass. Patriots rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler made a break on the football, got in front of wide receiver Ricardo Lockette and made the interception of Wilson’s throw with 20 seconds to play. And everything changed. Everything. In the wake of Sunday’s spectacular finish, we’re back to the big picture. The Seahawks are one-time Super Bowl champions. And in the grand scheme of things, one-time Super Bowl champions don’t matter. The Patriots are four-time Super Bowl champions with Brady and Belichick. They have been to six Super Bowls in tandem, and it is increasingly difficult to argue against them being the greatest coach-andquarterback combination in the history of the sport. What the league concludes about Deflategate matters even more. Now the question is whether a team knowingly broke the rules on its way to winning a Super Bowl title, not while en route to being a Super Bowl runner-up. That’s quite a bit different. And what of the play-call? The explanation provided by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made no sense. Carroll said the Seahawks had three wide receivers on the field and therefore had the wrong personnel grouping to attempt to the run the ball at New England’s goal line defense. Carroll said the Seahawks planned to get, at worst, an incompletion on that second-down play and then come back and run the ball on third and, potentially, fourth down. But the Seahawks had three wide receivers on the field by choice. No one made them do that. And, really, so what? Run the ball anyway. Seattle is a straightforward, bruising team built around its defense and the workmanlike running of Lynch. What the Seahawks do is run the ball. It’s what they should have done with the Super Bowl on the line. Patriots 28, Seahawks 24 was a classic. But the Seahawks have only themselves to blame for the way history changed on a single play.

Broncos make puzzling move at trade deadline By Nick Patterson Herald writer

It was one of the more perplexing moves leading up to the WHL trade deadline. The Swift Current Broncos were determined to rid themselves of defenseman Brycen Martin. The same Brycen Martin who was selected second overall in the 2011 bantam draft. The same Brycen Martin who was taken by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round of the 2014 NHL draft. The same Brycen Martin who was supposedly a key defensive cog for a Swift Current team that still harbored designs on being relevant in the Eastern Conference playoff this season, and who at 18 years old would be coming back next season anyway. Nevertheless, the Broncos not only traded Martin, they traded him twice. And last week Martin shed some light on just why that happened. Martin, who ended up with the Saskatoon Blades, opened up to the Saskatoon StarPhoenix on why he believes he and the Broncos needed to part ways. Martin’s words to the StarPhoenix indicated he was dissatisfied in Swift Current. “Obviously, I was battling with inconsistencies,” Martin told the StarPhoenix. “But at the same time, I wasn’t playing. I wasn’t playing as much as I was used to. “I got a shot at the top D pairing and lost it right away. I didn’t even really have a shot at the first power play. That was definitely an adjustment for me. Everything kind of fell apart and that’s when the trade happened. I’m thankful for that. It’s helped me elevate my game and move along in my hockey career.” It was an eye-opener

different sports, and for me rugby is the sport that is the most fun, the most athletic, that promotes the best bonds (of camaraderie), and has a culture of values like respect for each other and for the other team. “You compete so hard on the field, but when you’re off the field it’s like everyone is the best of friends,” he said. Jacob Smithies, a 14-year-old freshman at Kamiak, got interested in rugby by tagging along with his dad to games and practices with the Skagit Valley Steelheads, a men’s team in Mount Vernon. Even as a spectator, Jacob Smithies said, “I just kind of loved it from the beginning. “It’s unlike football where I have to sit on the bench the whole season because I’m 5-foot-1,” he said. “In rugby, even though I’m a small guy I still have lots of fun.” The Eagles are preparing for the upcoming spring season in the 18-team Rugby Washington U19 league, with teams from across the state and even one from Idaho. Rugby Washington also has boys leagues

when Martin was originally dealt to Kamloops in exchange for 19-year-old defenseman Josh Connolly and a second-round bantam pick. That deal was voided when Connolly refused to report to Swift Current. The next day Martin was flipped to East Division rival Saskatoon for 18-year-old defenseman Jordan Thomson and a first-round bantam pick. “I can’t say that I didn’t play a lot,” Martin said of his time with the Broncos this season. “I still played a solid 20 minutes. It’s not really the ice-time factor that bugs me. It’s the situation, knowing that I’m the go-to guy and if I have the energy they (should) want me on the ice.” Since joining Saskatoon Martin has thrived, posting 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in nine games. That’s a far greater rate than the 16 points he had in 39 games with Swift Current. Over the weekend he had his first games against his former team, tallying a goal and three assists as Saskatoon and Swift Current split a home-and-home set. And it seems both Martin and the Blades are thrilled with the way things unfolded.

Around the WHL

for U17, U15, U11 and U9, and even a 10-team girls U19 league. Some Everett players have played rugby previously, but others are beginners so there will no doubt be a collective team learning curve. But one of the great things about rugby, John Smithies said, is the simplicity of the game. “Rugby is a lot like chess,” he explained. “It’s really (an easy) game to learn. I know it looks confusing if you watch it and don’t know what’s going on. But once you learn the core rules it’s a very simple game to play. You pass the ball, you run forward, and the other team tries to stop you. “But like chess,” he added, “it takes a lifetime to master.” There are obvious similarities to football, but there are clear differences, too. In rugby, John Smithies said, “everyone can touch the ball, everyone can tackle, everyone can do everything. Everyone’s equal on the field.” For the players, and cer certainly for the parents of young players, safety is a foremost concern. After all, rugby is akin to tackle football without pads. But it is the absence of pads, Smithies said, that actually enhances the game’s safety. “Rugby players don’t

have helmets,” he said, “so we don’t tackle (leading with the head). We’re always attacking on the outside or the inside of the player, and keeping our heads nice and safe.” Also, rugby players are taught to tackle by wrapping up the opposing player — think of a wrestler executing a double-leg takedown — rather than crashing into an opponent at top speed. “Not that there aren’t big hits,” Smithies said. “But the injury rates are much lower on a rugby field than on a football field.” Alex Olson, a 16-yearold sophomore at Everett High School, has played both football and rugby, and says “football tackles are a lot more painful than rugby tackles. Because without pads (in rugby), you’re more conscious of how hard you’re hitting someone. You’re think thinking, ‘I could get hurt if I hit too hard or if I hit incorrectly.’ So it’s a different mentality.” That said, it might still take time to win over all the skeptics. “I tell some of the guys at school that I play rugby and they’re like, ‘Dude, are you crazy?’” said Smith. “But in my opinion, it’s not as dangerous as football. And it’s a great sport.”

Eric Comrie has returned to Tri-City’s lineup. The star 19-year-old goaltender was gone for nearly two months, first because he was with Canada for the World Junior Hockey Championships, then because of a lower-body injury. His return ended a stretch of 20 straight starts by backup Evan Sarthou, who had shutouts in four of the final six of those outings. … Brandon coach Kelly McCrimmon picked up his 400th career victory when the Wheat Kings beat Moose Jaw 6-4 last Friday. He became the 14th WHL coach the reach the 400win mark. … Portland’s Oliver Bjorkstrand was named the WHL Player of the Week for the second time in four weeks. The 19-year-old forward had four goals and five assists as the Winterhawks went 3-0. That included six points in Portland’s 6-3 victory over Everett on Saturday.
