Man guilty of brutal murder Alan Smith is convicted of planning, carrying out estranged wife’s death

Amanda Foley

Bail set at $100K each

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — In the end it was Alan Smith’s own words that convinced a Snohomish County judge that the Bothell man planned and carried out the brutal murder of his estranged wife. Superior Court Judge Linda Krese on Wednesday convicted Smith of first-degree murder in the February 2013 beating, stabbing and drowning death of Susann Smith. The judge spent several minutes outlining the evidence she heard at trial. She concluded that the physical evidence collected at scene and in the weeks after the slaying wasn’t strong enough on its own to prove that Smith was guilty of murder. Krese said Smith’s confession to a man he met at church did prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for the slaying. Smith kept his eyes closed through most of the judge’s presentation. His shoulders slumped and he cradled his chin in his hand as the lawyers worked out a sentencing date for later this month. The former Boeing engineer faces a minimum of 22 years in prison. Krese became the sole judge of the evidence when Smith, 39, opted to forgo a jury trial. The judge already had heard significant portions of the testimony in pre-trial motions. Even so, Snohomish County deputy prosecutors Craig Matheson and Katie Wetmore presented more than 600 exhibits and called more than a dozen witnesses to testify during the three-week trial. They alleged that Smith “went off the rails” over the ongoing divorce and child custody battle with his wife. He had racked up $15,000 in credit card debt in a year and feared that his wife was going to move their two children, ages 3 and 6, to her native Germany. He ranted to friends, coworkers and at least one girlfriend that his wife was evil and that the court system was rigged. He accused his wife of being an unfit parent and asked the court to assign a guardian ad-litem to investigate his allegations. A judge concluded that his claims were unfounded and declined his request.

Alan Smith reacts Wednesday at the Snohomish County Courthouse in Everett after hearing Judge Linda Krese announce he was guilty of first-degree murder.

About two weeks later, Susann Smith was found face down in a bathtub. Her killer bludgeoned and stabbed her nearly two dozen times before dragging her into the bathroom. She was still alive when she was placed in the bathtub. An autopsy revealed that she died of drowning. Alan Smith’s DNA was found on a washcloth under the slain woman’s body. An expert also testified that the bloody footprints found throughout the house were a match for the slight man’s feet. The bloody pattern found on the See GUILTY, Page A2

EVERETT — Bail was set at $100,000 each Wednesday for two parents accused of abandoning their children for days in a filthy house in Lake Stevens. Mark A. Dorson and Amanda A. Foley, both 32, were being held at the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of criminal mistreatment and abandonment of dependents. Because of Dorson’s felony history, he could face up to 3½ years in prison if convicted, deputy prosecutor Katie Wetmore said Wednesday in Everett District Court. Foley is three months pregnant and has been using methamphetamine, Wetmore said. The children would have been safer on the streets than in that house, she told the court. All three children — a 7-yearold girl, a 3-year-old boy and a 10-month-old boy — were placed in foster care, said Mindy Chambers, spokeswoman for the state Department of Social and Health Services. The state Wednesday was seeking a court order See CHILDREN, Page A2

Providence nurses turn to public about contract EVERETT — Registered nurses at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, whose contract expired in October, are taking their case to the public through

The defense had fought to keep the testimony out, arguing that the conversation was protected because the man is a licensed minister. Morris said he wasn’t acting as a clergyman when Smith made the statements. At trial the defense dismissed the confession, saying the man from church had his own agenda.

who felt obligated by his beliefs to tell the truth. She said she reviewed his testimony several times and found it to be credible. At the time Smith confessed, he had lost custody of his children and was under scrutiny by the police and media. He was in a chaotic relationship with an unstable woman who later committed suicide. He was distraught and found a sympathetic and supportive listener in Morris. “It is not unbelievable that (Smith) unburdened himself to Mr. Morris,” Krese said.

treated at the hospital, she said. Year-over-year comparisons for the last quarters of 2013 and 2014 show inpatient days increased by 8.91 percent; emergency visits increased by 5.63 percent, according to Elizabeth Brophy, a spokeswoman for the hospital.

The trend of increasing numbers of patients has been seen at other hospitals along the I-5 corridor, Hyland-Hill said. Extra nurses have been called in to work at the Everett hospital, but with high patient volume, it’s been a challenge “assuring we’ve got an adequate number of nurses,” HylandHill said. She said she is hopeful that a settlement can be reached with the nurses during the next two negotiating sessions.

Danielle Percival, a union member who works as a head nurse on the night shift, said the three main concerns are patient care, safety and appropriate staffing levels. Percival said she, too, is hopeful an agreement can be reached. “We love our job and the people we work with,” she said. “We just want the tools to help the public as best as we can.” Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com.

Wrong-way driver arrested after I-5 chase By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — A felon in a SUV that had been reported stolen was arrested early Wednesday morning for repeatedly attempting to elude police by driving the wrong direction on I-5 at speeds reaching 100 mph south of Everett. The Kent man, 29, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail. He also was wanted on a state Department of Corrections

warrant. It was the second time in less than 24 hours the suspect is believed to have driven the wrong way on I-5, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The second incident ended around 2:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes of I-5 near 196th Street SW when the driver lost control. Neither the man nor a woman passenger were seriously injured, Ireton said. He was taken

to a local hospital for a medical evaluation before he was booked. She was not arrested. The suspect, who is under state supervision, was wanted for failing to report to his corrections officer. He was convicted of child rape in Snohomish County in a 2004 case. Other convictions include assault, possession of stolen property, attempted first-degree theft, possession of a stolen vehicle and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle.

A deputy used his patrol car to bump the stolen Chevrolet Blazer, a strategy known as a PIT maneuver. Moments before, a Washington State Patrol trooper had thrown spike strips down on the freeway, but the suspect was able to swerve around them. The Blazer, by then, had slowed down. That’s when the deputy bumped the Blazer. “The contact was not

significant,” the deputy wrote in a report. “However, the driver attempted to drive out of the PIT maneuver, causing the vehicle to go onto two wheels and then continue to roll over onto its roof.” The Blazer slid on its roof before stopping in the fast lane of southbound I-5. It was the second chase believed to involve the same suspect in less than a day. See CHASE, Page A4

Cities consider police alliance

Brier and Mountlake Terrace are continuing a long-standing conversation about a possible partnership. By Rikki King Herald Writer

Frisby pleaded guilty in November and was supposed to be sentenced Jan. 21 for a possessing both the heroin and the handgun. Instead, he was a no show. Deputy prosecutor Jarett Goodkin said he’s now considering bail jumping charges. Frisby’s lawyer, Gurjit Pandher, said that because of the new legal troubles he’d advised his client to offer no explanation for missing the earlier sentencing date. Pandher asked Wilson to consider waiving mandatory court fines and fees. He said Frisby is disabled and gets by on whatever income he can make pursuing his rap career. “Unfortunately, he’s not making a lot money from that,”

BRIER — Two south Snohomish County cities are mulling a partnership to staff police shifts in Brier. There’s also talk of outsourcing all policing of Brier to its westward neighbor, Mountlake Terrace. Both conversations are ongoing, with no timeline set for a decision. Brier, a city of about 6,000, long has struggled to staff a full police force, Mayor Bob Colinas said. Currently, he’s budgeted for six officers and a police chief, plus reserve troops. Two officers recently left for other opportunities. The Brier Police Department averaged nearly five emergency calls a day in December, data show, but sometimes officers go entire shifts without any calls. Brier Police still are hiring, Colinas said. “We just don’t have a lot of activity,” he said. The two cities have talked about a partnership on and off for a long time, Mountlake Terrace Police Chief Greg Wilson said. Colinas brought the idea up again about a year ago. Wilson looked at Brier’s budget and emergency call data before the two cities began working on a legal agreement for shift coverage. Draft agreements are going back and forth between the cities’ lawyers. Both city councils would have to approve the agreement. If, down the road, Brier pursues a full-time policing contract with

Everett rapper sentenced to prison Wayne Frisby lands 1½ years behind bars for drug and gun offenses. By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — When he took center stage Wednesday, Wayne Frisby had little to say. There were no spectators in Snohomish County Superior Court as the blind rapper, better known by his stage name Mac Wayne, was sentenced to roughly 1½ years in prison for his latest felony convictions. Indeed, those gathered to mark the event were the minimum allowed by law: a prosecutor, Frisby’s defense attorney, court staff, corrections officers and Judge Joseph Wilson. Frisby bills himself as “the

undisputed Ray Charles of rap, 100 percent blind and 100 percent raw.” The Everett man, 30, reportedly lost his sight after shooting himself in the head while still in his teens. He’s attracted some attention for his music and a mini biopic, in which he bragged about selling drugs around town, including to his own mom. But it has been Frisby’s efforts to hide from the law that have created the biggest buzz. In 2013, he was charged with robbing a woman and chopping off some of her hair. He then fled town and released a single, taunting the cops on his trail while also claiming his innocence.

The prosecutor’s robbery case melted down after the woman changed her story about Frisby’s involvement. Still, he wound up serving about three months in jail for the methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine he was carrying when arrested on that case. Frisby was back behind bars in July after Everett police caught him early one morning carrying a .40-caliber Glock in a backpack while downtown. A few weeks later he was arrested by Tulalip Tribal Police officers in the casino parking lot carrying heroin and brass knuckles. At the time, Frisby was seated in a car, not wearing a shirt, and talking into a cellphone. The officer said he approached because he could see a small pipe perched behind one of Frisby’s ears. He recognized it as a “tooter” for smoking drugs.

That didn’t end the scuffle. In the ensuing days, Inslee met with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to verify what the state needed to do to avoid becoming the first to lose

its waiver. Then he and Dorn drafted a new bill and tried to persuade lawmakers to vote on it, which they didn’t. “I take my hat off to the WEA,” Dorn said in August of the teachers union. “They did a better job than we did. Maybe this time we can get past the rhetoric and propaganda and do what’s right for kids.” Litzow isn’t predicting how the legislative rematch will turn out.

Inslee expended political capital last year trying to get lawmakers to implement a test-scores provision for evaluating teachers, and he has nothing to show for it. It’s not clear how hard he’ll push this go-round. Litzow said he’s not spoken with the governor on the subject. Superintendents of school districts mostly avoided the fray in 2014 but might be engaged this year. At legislative hearings last fall and earlier this session, superintendents

Pandher said. Wilson told the attorney to look at Frisby’s Mac Wayne videos. The rapper seemed to have plenty of cash to flash, and the money certainly looked real, the judge said. Wilson noted that Frisby now has spent half his life cycling in and out of the criminal justice system. Most of the trouble stems from drug use. “I suspect, sir, if you don’t get a hold on that you will be right back here,” the judge said before Frisby was led from court.

state’s schools. The 86 schools with exemption rates of 10 percent or higher are spread out around King and Snohomish counties, but many are clustered in a handful of places: North Seattle, Bellevue, Vashon Island and Arlington. South King County, in contrast, has very few

schools with exemption rates over 10 percent. In King and Snohomish counties, 85 percent of exemptions are granted for personal/philosophical reasons, 12 percent for medical reasons and 3 percent for religious beliefs. An exception is the Bellevue, where more than one-third of exemptions are medical.

expressed frustration at receiving federal money they couldn’t spend due to restrictions related to the loss of the No Child Left Behind waiver. A requirement to ensure student access to private tutors exposed some families to unscrupulous hard-sell tactics, the superintendents said. Oh, and sending letters to parents telling them their child attends a failing school hurt morale, they said. The WEA, meanwhile, is still opposed to using student test scores in evaluating teachers.

The city has scheduled a public hearing on Monroe’s marijuana code at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall. The purpose of the hearing is to take public comment on proposed changes to the zoning rules for marijuana businesses. People also can turn in written comments to City Hall before the hearing. For more information on

the code amendments, contact Brad Feilberg at 360-863-4540 or bfeilberg@ monroewa.gov. Information is available for review at City Hall and online at monroewa.gov/cannabis.

Herald staff COUPEVILLE — An Oak Harbor man was in the Island County Jail on Wednesday after detectives found stolen mail in his car. The suspect, 25, was arrested shortly before 5 p.m. Jan. 28 after Island County sheriff’s deputies received a call about a suspicious vehicle in the area of Green Road in Oak Harbor.

EVERETT — Police believe an Everett High School student is the prolific tagger behind a long trail of graffiti in north Everett. Officers in recent months found more than 50 tags downtown and in north Everett with the moniker “NAMSéERA,” which they believe is the teen’s handiwork. In mid-January, a homeowner in the 2000 block of Lombard Avenue called 911 and described a young man tagging a nearby street sign. Officer Robert Edmonds found the suspect as he was leaving a church that had just been tagged on a window. The teen was detained and allegedly admitted to the tagging, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said. The EHS student reportedly explained that his tag begins with his nickname “NAMS,” includes a star for design and ends with “ERA” for “erasol” spray paint, although the conventional spelling is aerosol. He later showed the officer more of his tags throughout north Everett. He was released to a parent with an explanation of the pending criminal process, Snell said. Roughly 15 minutes later, Edmonds saw the teen walking in the 1500 block of 20th Street. The youth tried to run, but was taken to the school resource officer at Everett High School. The school officer recognized the tag signature from graffiti on school property. Officers with the Downtown Bike Unit also recognized the tag signature from their investigations. All cases were sent to a detective for a follow-up investigation, which will be forwarded to prosecutors for review and potential charges. Reports indicate the teen may be responsible for between 50 and 100 tags throughout north Everett with an estimated cost to fix the damage at more than $5,000.

Lung cancer kills women It passes breast cancer as leading cause of cancer deaths in rich countries. Associated Press For the first time, lung cancer has passed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths for women in rich countries. The reason is smoking, which peaked years later for women than it did for men. Lung cancer has been the top cancer killer for men for decades. “We’re seeing the deaths now” from lung cancer due to

a rise in smoking by women three decades ago, said Lindsey Torre of the American Cancer Society. The society released a report Wednesday, based on new numbers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Some highlights: The cancer burden Globally, there were about 14 million new cancer cases and 8 million cancer deaths in 2012, the most recent year for which numbers are available. “Developing countries account for 57 percent of cancer cases and 65 percent of cancer deaths,” Torre said. Men vs. women, rich vs. poor countries

For men, lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death globally for several decades. In poor countries, breast cancer remains the top cancer killer for women. Colon cancer has grown as a cause of death worldwide. As for the number of cases diagnosed, prostate and breast are the most common cancers in men and women, respectively, in rich countries. The U.S. picture Lung cancer became the top cancer killer for men in the 1950s, and for women in the late 1980s, reflecting trends in smoking rates. Looking ahead

Smoking rates have leveled off or dropped in rich countries. In the United States, “we are already seeing lung cancer death rates decline,” Torre said. How to lower risk The American Institute for Cancer Research says half of all cancers are preventable. Healthy diets and getting enough exercise cut risk. The hepatitis vaccine helps prevent liver cancer; the HPV vaccine lowers the risk of getting cervical cancer. The biggest factor: Stop smoking, or don’t start. Quitting by middle age can avoid 60 percent of the risk of dying of lung cancer, Torre said. “It’s never too late to quit.”

LOS ANGELES — The largest U.S. measles outbreak in recent history isn’t the one that started in December at Disneyland. It happened months earlier in Ohio’s Amish country, where 383 people fell ill after unvaccinated Amish missionaries traveled to the Philippines and returned with the virus. The Ohio episode drew far less attention, even though the number of cases was almost four times that of the Southern California outbreak, because it seemed to pose little threat outside close-knit religious communities. The Disneyland outbreak has already spread well beyond the theme parks that attract tens

WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats pressed Obama administration officials Wednesday to move swiftly to provide aircraft parts, night-vision equipment and other weapons to Jordan after a video purporting to show Islamic State militants burning a captured Jordanian air force pilot to death. All 26 members of the Senate Armed Services Committee wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that Jordan’s situation and the unanimity of the coalition battling the extremists “demands that we move with speed to ensure they receive the military materiel they require.”

Maryland: Bishop indicted Episcopal Bishop Heather Cook was indicted on 13 charges including drunken driving and manslaughter in connection with an accident that killed a cyclist, officials said Wednesday. Cook was consecrated in September as suffragan bishop of the state’s Episcopal Diocese, the diocese’s second-highest position. Officials have asked for her resignation. Wednesday’s charges are the latest step in the case that dates from December, when Cook, 58, hit and killed cyclist Thomas Palermo in Baltimore, according to the charges.

The state will recognize more than 300 same-sex marriages that were quickly performed in the hours before an appeals court blocked a ruling legalizing the unions, Gov. Rick Snyder said Wednesday. The Republican said he wouldn’t appeal a federal court’s ruling last month that required the state to recognize the marriages performed on March 22, 2014. The decision means the ruling takes effect Thursday and could affect the couples’ insurance coverage and other state benefits. ANDREW LUBIMOV / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Ukrainian man protests in front of Russian soldiers in unmarked uniforms as they stand guard on the outskirts of Sevastopol, Crimea, in March.

Russia’s westernmost Baltic exclave — Kaliningrad — and it is planning to send strategic bombers on regular patrols as far as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. NATO defense ministers, meeting Thursday in Brussels, are expected to approve measures to enhance the alliance’s ability to deter and, if necessary, respond to military threats from Moscow, officials said. As outlined by NATO officials, key decisions expected include upgrading the existing NATO Response Force, an official goahead for a proposal to establish six new command and control centers in Eastern Europe, and expansion of a multinational headquarters in Poland. The West first got a sense of Russia’s revived military might during last February’s Crimea invasion. The U.S. and its NATO allies were caught off guard when waves of Russian heavylift military transport planes landed on the Black Sea peninsula days after the ouster of Ukraine’s former Moscowfriendly president, unloading special forces which swiftly took over key facilities in the region and blocked Ukrainian troops at their bases. Dressed in unmarked uniforms and

equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, the Russian troops were a far cry from the ragtag demoralized force the military was just a few years ago. The Kremlin first claimed they were local volunteers, but Putin recognized after the annexation that they were Russian soldiers. Another surprise for the West came a few weeks later, when well-organized groups of gunmen took over local government offices and police stations in several cities across Ukraine’s mostly Russian-speaking eastern industrial heartland, triggering a rebellion that evolved into a full-scale war that has killed more than 5,300 since April. As fighting escalated in the east, the Russian military showed its agility by quickly deploying tens of thousands troops near the border with Ukraine. Ukraine and the West said that thousands of them crossed into Ukraine, helping turn the tide in the rebels’ favor. The Kremlin denies that, although it has acknowledged that Russian volunteers have joined the insurgency. Unlike the past, when the Russian military was filled through unpopular conscription, the force has grown more

professional and motivated. Relatively high salaries have attracted increasingly more contract soldiers, whose numbers are set to exceed 350,000 this year from 295,000 in 2014. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that by the end of this year all battalion tactical groups — the core units in the Army, the Airborne Forces and the marines — will be manned entirely by professional soldiers. Russia’s weapons modernization plan envisages spending 20 trillion rubles on new weapons in 2011-2020. And in sharp contrast to the early post-Soviet years, when combat jets were grounded and navy vessels rusted dockside for lack of fuel, the military has dramatically increased both the scope and frequency of its drills. Ground forces conducted massive maneuvers near the Ukrainian border involving tens of thousands of troops, while navy ships sailed on regular missions and combat jets flew regular patrols near European borders to probe NATO’s defenses. The alliance said it intercepted Russian aircraft more than 400 times last year and complained they posed a danger to civilian flights.

Associated Press MOSCOW — Hundreds of new Russian aircraft, tanks and missiles are rolling off assembly lines. Russian jets roar through European skies under NATO’s wary eye. Tens of thousands of troops take part in war games showing off the military’s readiness for all-out war. The muscle flexing suggests that Russia’s economic woes so far are having no effect on the Kremlin’s ambitious military modernization program. Most Russian economic sectors face a 10 percent cut this year as Russia heads into recession. The military budget, meanwhile, rose by 33 percent to about 3.3 trillion rubles (some $50 billion). The buildup reflects President Vladimir Putin’s apparent readiness to raise the ante in a showdown with the West over Ukraine — but it is unclear whether Russia can afford the modernization drive amid slumping oil prices and Western sanctions. A new Russian military doctrine, endorsed by Putin in December, names NATO as a top threat to Russia and lays out a response to what the Kremlin sees as the alliance’s expansion into Russia’s sphere of interests. In the Ukraine crisis, Moscow for the first time demonstrated its new capacity for what experts call “hybrid” warfare, a combination of military force with a degree of deniability, sleek propaganda and political and economic pressure. It is not only in Crimea — the strategic peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine — that the nation’s 1 million-strong military is beefing up its presence. Russia is also reviving Soviet-era airfields and opening new military bases in the Arctic. Last fall the military rattled sabers by briefly deploying state-of-the art missiles to

of thousands of visitors from around the globe, who could then return home with the virus. Disease investigators for weeks raced to identify measles-stricken patients, track down potential contacts and quarantine them if necessary. Public health experts say success at containing the outbreak will largely depend on how many unvaccinated people get the measles shot. “This was a wake-up call,” said Dr. James Cherry, a pediatric infectious disease expert at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It could continue to smolder” if not enough people get vaccinated. The latest outbreak began when an infected person spread the illness to more than

three dozen people at Disneyland who then exposed many others. Most were unvaccinated, according to state health officials. In contrast, the Ohio outbreak “stayed contained within those communities, and outside people said, ‘Well, it doesn’t really affect me.’ What’s different with this one is more people can relate to Disneyland,” said Dr. Gregory Wallace of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 100 measles cases in half a dozen states have been linked to people who visited or worked at Disneyland in December or exposure to infected people who went there. California health officials on Wednesday reported

99 measles cases including six new infections with a Disneyland connection. Federal health officials said it’s too early to predict whether this will be a particularly severe year compared with 2014, which saw more measles cases than any year since 1994. The Ohio outbreak accounted for more than half of the 644 measles cases reported last year. Homegrown measles has not occurred in the United States since 2000 due to an aggressive vaccination campaign. But outbreaks have hit in recent years with nearly all cases linked to travelers who caught the virus overseas where measles still rages and spread it in this country among pockets of unvaccinated people.

Paul Ray said the firing squad, with trained marksmen and a restrained inmate, offers a swift, more humane death than lethal injection, with less of a risk of complications.

Texas: Cop killer executed A three-time convicted robber who helped engineer the biggest prison break in state history was executed Wednesday for killing an Irving police officer while the gang was on the run. Donald Newbury, 52, became the third member of the group known as the “Texas 7” executed for the fatal shooting of Aubrey Hawkins, 29, an officer who interrupted the fugitives’ robbery of a sporting goods store on Christmas Eve in 2000. Asked to make a final statement, Newbury mumbled: “I would. That each new indignity defeats only the body. Pampering the spirit with obscure merit. I love you all. That’s it.”

New Mexico: Gun dealer A Hobbs gun shop owner has been sentenced to 12 months in federal prison for violating firearms laws. Prosecutors said Carlos Cruz, 32, will be on three years of supervised release after serving his term. He was sentenced Wednesday in Las Cruces. He was indicted in June 2013 for buying firearms on behalf of others, unlawfully selling thousands of rounds of ammunition, possessing an unregistered sawed-off shotgun and possessing firearms with obliterated serial numbers. Prosecutors said Cruz and his parents must forfeit about 165 firearms, more than 25,000 rounds of ammunition and six silencers.

AROUND THE WORLD Taiwan: 31 die in air crash The pilot in TransAsia Airways Flight 235 said “Mayday, mayday, engine flameout,” moments before the ATR 72 prop jet banked sharply and crashed into a river, aviation officials said Thursday. Video images of the plane’s final moments in the air do not appear to show any flames as it turned sharply, with its wings going vertical and clipping a bridge before plunging into the Keelung River on Wednesday, killing at least 31 people. Fifteen people were injured, and the search continued for 12 people still missing. From Herald news services

Port looks to Midwest By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Port of Everett is hoping the Midwest can make the docks here busier. The port last month hired a Michigan company to help find new cargo opportunities. As the port’s Midwest agent, the company, Green Funnel Agency of New Buffalo, Michigan, will work with freight forwarders, railroads, ocean carriers and other shippers to uncover new business, according to a news release from the Port of Everett. The agency is on a $1,700 monthly retainer — $20,400

annually, said Lisa Lefeber, the port’s spokeswoman. While Everett is much smaller — and less congested — than the ports of Tacoma and Seattle, that can work to its advantage, said Vincent Sullivan, business development director at Green Funnel Agency. With Everett, “business decisions will be more nimble than the larger ports. This will allow us to be more effective in our business recruitment efforts.” Many of the exports that pass through Everett’s waterfront already start in the Midwest, said Carl Wollebek, the Port of Everett’s chief operating officer. It is Wollebek’s responsibility to

make sure cargo moves smoothly through the port. Everett’s specialty is break-bulk cargo and freight that’s too big to fit in shipping containers. The Port of Everett also is a major link in the Boeing Co.’s supply chain. In 2014, 184 cargo vessels stopped at the Port of Everett, a 5 percent increase over the previous year. The port also saw a 25 percent increase in tonnage moved in and out — from 359,379 short tons in 2013 to 449,176 last year. Despite the increase in tonnage, the port moved 11 percent fewer containers in 2014 than it did the year before.

The port is a public agency. However, much of the $40 million in revenue it expects to collect in 2015 comes from business operations, which include real estate, a marina and the seaport. It plans to collect $4.5 million through a ongoing property tax levy this year. The port can also raise money for capital projects through bond sales. In recent years, the Port of Everett has spent more than $50 million on capital projects, including several meant to improve cargo operations.

Region’s logs exported to Japan By Jim Davis

business shipped 32 million board feet, Warren said. Forest Marketing buys logs

from private landowners and last year purchased timber from 450 sellers including Weyerhauser.

The logs were shipped down the Snohomish River by Dunlap Towing and stored at Miller Shingle log yard. Warren credited Carl Wollebek, chief operating officer at the Port, for working persisently to open the doors for this first shipment. “This log delivery from Everett to Japan represents more than just a shipment; it’s a symbol of jobs and commerce flowing in Snohomish County,” Wollebeck said in a statement from the Port. “The Port is very fortunate to have industry partners such as Miller Shingle, Dunlap Towing, Stevedoring Services of America and the ILWU to be able to support the local log industry spearheaded by Formark. Japan is a very quality conscious market and the return is a very positive step.”

WASHINGTON — Declaring the Internet critical for the nation, a top U.S. regulator Wednesday proposed an unprecedented expansion of federal power to ensure providers don’t block or slow web traffic for America’s users. The proposal by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler was a victory for advocates of “net neutrality,” the idea that Internet providers must allow data to

Growth of private hiring slows in January Private-sector hiring cooled last month, with employers adding a still-solid 213,000 net new jobs, payroll firm Automatic Data Processing said Wednesday. The figure, which is a closely watched labor market indicator, was down from an upwardly revised 253,000 the previous month. December’s job gains originally were estimated at 241,000. Economists had forecast that the ADP report would show the private sector added 220,000 net new jobs last month. The ADP data come ahead of Friday’s Labor Department report on overall job growth in the private and public sectors.

Ford to hire 1,550 and increase pay Ford is adding 1,550 jobs at four plants to meet demand for the new 2015 F-150 pickup, and the influx of new entrylevel workers will bump up the wages of as many as 500 lower-paid employees already on the automaker’s payroll. Approximately 300 to 500 workers will get the pay upgrade by the end of March. The reason for all the hiring and pay bumps: Demand is high for the 2015 F-150, which is still ramping up to full production. Some customers are waiting months for their orders to be filled. With a new aluminum body and a raft of new features and technologies, the 2015 F-150 is a complicated truck to build and demand was high before it even went on sale in December.

EVERETT — For the first time in nearly a decade, a ship loaded with timber left the Port of Everett headed for Japan. The vessel, Andalucian Zephyr, was loaded with 2.2 million board feet, or 11,000 tons, of Douglas firs at the Port. The ship then went to Longview before heading to Matsunaga, Japan. The Port of Everett worked in partnership with Forest Marketing Enterprises of Everett for the delivery to Japan, which traditionally offers some of the best bids for West Coast timber. “The goal in-house for awhile has been to resurrect the Japanese business,” said Eric Warren, president of Forest Marketing. “The benefit it would bring here is far-reaching.” Warren said the logs are being evaluated by Toa Construction in Matsunga. He believes the local timber is better than logs in areas of southern Washington that have been harvested heavily. If it appeals to the Japanese, more shipments could be started by the third or fourth quarter this year. “It takes that long to get something started and going,” Warren said. “Again our hope is we planted the seed that’s going to grow and be good opportunity for the people in this business.” The Port of Everett used to be a major supplier of logs bound for Asia during the 1990s, but the market crashed in 1996 and then all but dried up about a decade ago. In the past three years, Forest Marketing Enterprises with the help of the Port has restarted shipments from the Port to China and Korea. Forest Marketing shipped 24 million board feet to Asia two years ago and, last year, the

International stores slow sales at Costco Sales at comparable Costco stores were flat in January though industry analysts were expecting a slight uptick. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters predicted a 1.2 percent rise in sales at stores open at least a year. Sales from stores open at least a year are a key indicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes volatility from recently opened or closed locations. Like other U.S. companies that operate abroad, sales at home were fine, but a slowing global economy proved to be a drag. Like-store sales rose 2 percent in the U.S., but fell 4 percent internationally. Total revenue for the four weeks ending Feb. 1 climbed 2 percent to $8.16 billion.

Ethanol train cars derailed in Iowa Six cars of a freight train carrying ethanol have derailed in a rural area north of Dubuque, Iowa, and one car is on fire. A Canadian Pacific railway spokesman said six cars of the eastbound train derailed at around 11:20 a.m. Wednesday. No injuries have been reported. The derailment reportedly happened about 10 miles north of Dubuque along the Mississippi River. An Iowa Department of Natural Resources spokesman said his department has someone going to the scene to see if there’s a spill that needs attention. From Herald news services

West Coast port lockout could be days away Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Employers could lock out West Coast dockworkers in as few as five days if the two sides do not reach a new contract, the head of a maritime association warned Wednesday in what amounts to an ultimatum for talks that have ground on for nine months. Though Pacific Maritime Association CEO James McKenna said he did not want his members to lock out longshoremen, he said

that would be inevitable if cargo congestion persists at 29 ports from San Diego to Seattle. The association has been saying for months that ports that handle about $1 trillion in trade annually are on the “brink of gridlock” — and in recent weeks, queues of massive ships have grown longer outside the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland and in Washington. McKenna blamed what he characterized as union slowdowns for the

congestion crisis on the West Coast waterfront, as his association has done since the fall. At this point, he said, it would make no sense to pay workers who won’t work at full speed if there is no way to move cargo containers into the flow of commerce because dockside yards are too jammed. “The system can only take so much,” McKenna told reporters by phone before returning to negotiations in San Francisco. “At some point, this will

collapse under its own weight.” He said that tipping point could come as soon as five days, or as many as 10 days. “I couldn’t tell you exactly, but I can tell you it’s imminent,” McKenna said. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has disputed claims of a slowdown and instead blamed issues beyond its control, including a shortage of truck beds to take containers from the docks to distribution warehouses. Ports began experiencing

congestion before fall, when the maritime association says the slowdown began. The last contract expired July 1; negotiations for the new one began in May. A union spokesman said the differences between negotiators are now small. “It’s more important than ever for everyone to remain at the table and get the job done because they’re very close and could resolve this very quickly,” union spokesman Craig

Merrilees said. In his remarks, McKenna also laid out the “best offer” his association made Tuesday. He said that a proposed 5-year contract included wage increases of about 3 percent annually, an increase in pension contributions, the maintenance of hefty health benefits and an agreement to let the union have jobs inspecting truck chassis. Wages for full-time workers currently average $147,000 per year, McKenna said.

Staples buys Office Depot for $6B to keep pace with change Associated Press NEW YORK — Evolving shopping habits have forced yet another retailer to think outside of the box. Staples, the nation’s largest big-box office supply chain, announced Wednesday that it’s spending about $6 billion to buy its second-ranked rival, Office Depot. The acquisition reflects a reversal of fortunes for bigbox retailers. Founded in the late 1980s, Staples and Office Depot were among a group of chains led by Wal-Mart that opened thousands of supersized stores during much of the next two decades for shoppers who wanted to buy in bulk. But shopping patterns changed in recent years as Americans have grown increasingly deal-hungry and comfortable with online shopping. Competition from smaller stores and the rise of online retailers like Amazon.com also have hurt big-box chains. Office supply retailers also have some unique issues, though. The impact

A woman walks past a Staples office supply store in Danvers, Massachusetts. Staples on Wednesday announced it is buying Office Depot in a cash-and-stock deal worth nearly $6 billion.

of technology on the U.S. workforce has dramatically shrunk the demand for items that were once their bread-and-butter, including personal computers, ink cartridges, and printers. In the 1990s, office

supply retailers catered to the throngs of workers setting up home offices. But, now with the popularity of smartphones, people can work anywhere. They also are buying fewer PCs and other big gadgets in

favor of small devices like smartphones. Staples has been ahead of its office supplies peers in responding to the changes. It’s been changing its mix of products in the stores, beefing up services like

copying and offering more items online. It’s also been opening smaller stores and investing in services aimed at specific small businesses. But the brick-and-mortar office supply chain business has continued to struggle as online sales have grown. Last year, office products sold online hit $9.2 billion, accounting for 24 percent of the overall office supplies category. That’s up from $2.6 billion, or 7 percent of the market, in 2004, according to Forrester Research. Meanwhile, Office Depot’s sales have been mostly on a downward slope since its fiscal 2007 year when it peaked at $15.5 billion, according to research firm FactSet. Sales rose in the latest year because of its deal with OfficeMax. Staples’ sales peaked in fiscal 2011 at $25 billion, and have been down since. Hedge fund Starboard Value LP, which disclosed a 5.1 percent stake in Staples in December, last month publicly urged the company to make a move on Office Depot. Staples

and Office Depot tried to combine forces before but were blocked by antitrust regulators. That was almost 20 years ago, however, and with the boards of both companies signing on unanimously to try it again, they appear confident that the landscape has changed substantially. The deal, which comes a little more than a year after Office Depot acquired OfficeMax for $1.2 billion, still has to get a nod from the Federal Trade Commission. And Office Depot shareholders, who will own about 16 percent of the combined company, have to approve it. In the proposed deal, Office Depot Inc. shareholders will receive $7.25 in cash and 0.2188 of a share in Staples Inc. for each share at closing. The transaction values Office Depot at $11 per share, which is based on Staples’ Monday closing stock price — the last trading day before initial reports of a buyout began to leak. The companies put the deal’s equity value at $6.3 billion.

IN OUR VIEW | Medical school proposals

UW, WSU need a doctor pact We expect Washington State University and the University of Washington to scrap when they face each other in the Apple Cup and in other athletic contests. It’s not productive when they squabble over money and academic prestige, particularly when it involves training medical students who are sorely needed in this state. The two schools have cooperated in a multi-state program, dubbed WWAMI for the states in which it trains medical students, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. But that cooperation has apparently ended and the UW is now seeking a partnership with Gonzaga University, WSU’s neighbor in Spokane, to continue with the WWAMI program. The partnership with WSU

is no longer an option, the UW claims, because WSU has gone its separate way in seeking to establish its own medical school in Spokane. WSU had made it clear when its regents approved the plan for its own school that it intended to continue its partnership with WWAMI. Legislation now being considered would lift a restriction that dates to 1917 that gives the UW the exclusive right to operate a medical school in the state. Currently, the UW can admit only 120 students a year, when other states Washington’s size admit more than 400 a year. In seeking its own medical school, WSU has cited the need not only for more doctors but for more family physicians placed in the state’s less populated regions. Not surprisingly,

those doctors trained in Seattle often remain there. Nearly half of the state’s physicians are in King County, while 18 of 39 counties in the state have fewer than 10 or fewer physicians per 10,000 people. The ratio in King County is more than 40 doctors per 10,000. WSU’s proposal would seek to place medical school graduates in residency programs throughout the state. A couple of months after WSU’s regents approved its plan, a UW-created advisory panel suggested the UW expand its enrollment in Spokane, admitting 120 students more a year. The disagreement, not surprisingly, centers on money. The UW says WSU is welcome to start its school, provided it doesn’t result in a loss of funding for the UW. A WSU-funded

study estimates it would cost the state $1 million to $3 million a year to start a school in Spokane. By 2024-25, with an enrollment of 480 students, the program would need up to $47 million annually. Gov. Jay Inslee effectively took no side on the issue; he included nothing in his budget that would have boosted medical school enrollment for either school. State officials may be waiting to see some accord between the state’s two biggest universities before moving forward, as evidenced by Oak Harbor Republican Sen. Barbara Bailey’s response during a recent public hearing on the competing plans. “Work a little closer and try to work some of this out,” Bailey said. “Work this out to the benefit of citizens that we all serve.”

That’s when we stop being spectators of others’ lives and start truly living our own. Let’s be the place where this all begins and show the world how it’s done. Go team!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■COURTHOUSE

Current one was supposed to last The current discussion regarding the new courthouse confuses me. As far as I am concerned, the current courthouse is the new courthouse. I remember when it was built and it was lauded by the county officials at the time as having modern design, spacious interior and lots of room for the needs of the county. We were also told that it would serve the needs for a generation. Well, I am one of the generation that the promise was made to and the present building seems perfectly adequate to me. So to county officials I say show some fiscal restraint and make do with what you have. Apparently, the county officials have been bitten by the same bug as the Everett School District who cannot resist the temptation to build a new building — whether we need it or not. Michael Crehan Everett

■■SEAHAWKS

Vulgar display start of the end You may think that Pete Carroll, Darrel Bevell, Russell Wilson, Ricardo Lockette or Jermaine Kearse were responsible for that terrible last play by the Seahawks. However, the die was cast when Doug Baldwin made that vulgar display in the end zone after he caught the pass for the last touchdown for the Seahawks, which thankfully was not captured live but is now available for the whole world to see. Russell is right, God does care about football games, but he cares more about our personal behavior. It would have been a travesty of justice for the Seahawks to win after that, and God set it up so that they lost in the worst possible way. The consolation is, those who God loves, he also chastens. Keven Jackson Everett

■■SUPER BOWL

Littlest fan so inspirational The week before the Super Bowl was a sea of blue and green. Seahawks supporters wearing team colors, banners on flagpoles, decals on their cars, etc. The Thursday before the Super Bowl changed my thinking of who stands out as the biggest fan. I was driving out on a rural road in Granite Falls after work. Something caught my eye ahead. Standing by a

She looked to be about 5 years old and had on a little pink coat and rubber boots. She was holding a handmade cardboard sign. As I got closer she held it up high. The sign said “Honk for Seahawks.” I was so touched by seeing her out there bearing the cold to support her team I started to cry. She didn’t need an expensive jersey or a storebought flag. I feel honored to see the biggest/littlest fan the Seahawks could ever have. Tricia Osgood Granite Falls

■■SEAHAWKS

Let’s also cheer on our own lives I was inspired by the fervor we all applied to the Seahawks. Our entire region collectively joined hands in unity for a single cause. The amount of time, energy and money spent was prodigious, and grew to a loud roar by Sunday afternoon. Then, a collective sadness swept over us Sunday evening. Even though it wasn’t official, Monday was a day of mourning. Today I am struck by the thought that we all placed such a huge amount of ourselves into an event over which we had so little influence. Even with all our combined might, we remained mere spectators in this beautiful game of football. What if we applied that same amount of time, energy and money into engaging with our own lives? What if we figured out how to stop rushing from crisis to crisis? What if each of us took the time to figure out what really makes us tick?

Worst call behind us, let’s move on

This may sound strange coming from a fan of the Seahawks, but the Super Bowl loss is no big deal to me. Shortly after the game I was over it and back to normal and still love the team. I know, I know ... how could I feel that way after such a disappointing loss, especially to the team from “way back East.” It seems to me that our society places too much emphasis on “winning” and not on how the game is played. Our youth sports organizations are a good example of how this attitude has hurt our young people. There appears to be a philosophy today that if you are not a winner you are a loser. I recall the old adage; “It’s not whether you win or lose but how you play the game than matters.” What are we teaching our kids today? There will always be more losers than winners, especially in sports. In my opinion, the Seahawks are winners no matter how many games they actually win. They are winners in their style, motivation, talent, team support, attitude and how they play the game. After all, they are the division champs for two years in a row, and have brought considerable recognition to the city of Seattle as well as millions of dollars. They have one of the best coaches in the entire NFL who teaches his team to do their best, focus on today’s game and “go out there and have fun.” What better education could we offer our kids but this? I hope the majority of the loyal 12s continue to support the “best team in the NFL” as they deserve it.

First of all let me preface by saying that I think Coach Carroll and the rest of his coaching staff are great coaches and I hope that they will continue to coach the Seahawks to victory for many years to come. However, the spin that Coach Carroll, Darrell Bevell and Russell Wilson are putting on the call for the pass play at the end of the Super Bowl is about defending the indefensible. There is an old sports cliché “Ya dance with the one who brung ya.” There are two main reasons that the Seahawks made it to the Superbowl this year — Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch. When it is second and goal on the 1-yard line and the game’s outcome is on the line (pardon the pun) and you have the NFL’s most elusive and efficient quarterback and the NFL’s most powerful and productive running back (especially in short yardage situations), you don’t call in a high-risk, low-percentage slant pass on the goal line in close coverage where lots of things can go wrong (and they did). Granted, the Seahawks secondary was banged up and were pretty inefficient in stopping Tom Brady and the Patriots from coming from behind to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. But this is all the more reason when the Seahawks have an opportunity to win the Super Bowl in the final seconds of the game, you don’t send in a bonehead play that costs the Seahawks a potential Super Bowl victory. I’m sorry, but I agree with everybody who watched the game. This was the worst play call in Super Bowl history. All this said, the Seahawk coaches, the Seahawks players and the Seahawks fans need to put this behind them and move on. As we loyal, diehard, but often disappointed Seattle Mariners fans say, “You just wait ‘til next year!”

Team a winner, in so many ways

Is GOP losing zeal to repeal Obamacare?

I

t is unfair to say Republicans have achieved nothing in their dozens of attempts since 2010 to repeal Obamacare. In Tuesday’s repeal effort by House Republicans — their first of this Congress and their DANA MILBANK 56th overall — it became clear that they had succeeded at one thing: They had bored even themselves into a slumber. For much of the debate Tuesday afternoon, no more than a dozen seats were occupied on the pro-repeal side of the House. More than once, the GOP had nobody available to speak. “The Affordable Care Act is a civil rights act, and it’s got to be upheld,” argued Colorado Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter early in the debate. Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas, leading the Republican side, had no one to offer a rebuttal. “I reserve,” he said. Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky argued that “repealing the Affordable Care Act at this stage would be an absolute death sentence to thousands of people.” “I reserve,” Burgess said again. Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, the Democrats’ floor leader at the time, asked if the Republicans had any more speakers — “because it seems like there’s no enthusiasm on your side.” A few minutes later, Burgess had again run out of warm bodies. “May I inquire from the gentleman how many more speakers he has?” McGovern inquired. There was a pause. “Uh. I have — I’ll be closing,” Burgess replied. Those who did speak didn’t necessarily do it well. Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, gave a passionate speech in support of ... his home state. “Texans are a proud people, and we’ve been a proud people since the days of the Alamo and San Jacinto,” he said. Replied McGovern: “Wonderful commercial for Texas. We all should visit.” As the debate progressed, Republicans managed to scare up more speakers. But they didn’t pretend that they were doing anything more than going through the motions. They were doing repeal once more, without feeling. Opponents of the health-care law voiced the obligatory lines Tuesday calling the law a “train wreck” and all the rest. But the expansion of health coverage under the law, lower health-care inflation and the booming economy made it difficult to make the case that the law has been a disaster. The energy had flipped from the 2010 debates, and proponents of the law had the passion. During the election, GOP leaders downplayed Obamacare repeal as a priority, because they knew they’d have no chance of overcoming President Obama’s veto. But since then they decided to make a repeal vote one of their first orders of business, because freshmen legislators wanted to say that they, too, voted for repeal. Omitted from the debate was any hint of what Republicans would do to replace Obamacare in the highly unlikely event that Obama agreed to sign legislation repealing his signature achievement. To finesse this, the repeal legislation included a bold provision calling for ... a trio of committees to come up with recommendations. Similar promises during previous repeal efforts produced no such recommendations. The Republicans’ ennui in the Obamacare debate continued a strange start for the new majority. In the House, the Republican leadership abandoned abortion and immigration legislation because of intra-party discord; in the Senate, the GOP majority struggled to pass legislation authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline and, on Tuesday, failed to advance its proposal to challenge Obama’s immigration executive orders. In contrast to the fire they breathed on Obamacare in 2010, this time the law’s foes wheezed banalities. “If you ask why we’re voting to repeal this law again, we’re doing it for the people,” Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy explained. Democrats answered all this with derision. From the White House, Obama said: “I don’t know if it’s the 55th or the 60th time that they are taking this vote, but? ... why is it this would be at the top of their agenda?” Said McGovern: “Fifty-six. ... No matter how you add it up, it has to be some sort of world record in political futility.” In the end, the House voted to repeal the law, sending the measure to the Senate, where Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had introduced a similar bill on Monday.

UW, WSU asked to solve med school dispute Associated Press OLYMPIA — The University of Washington and Washington State University must work out their differences over training medical students in Spokane, a lawmaker said. Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, head of the state Senate Higher Education Committee, asked representatives at a hearing Tuesday to “work this out to the benefit of citizens that we all serve.” It was the third hearing in two weeks on the competing

plans, The Spokesman-Review reported. Washington State University wants to start its own medical school. The University of Washington says that plan ends its partnership with WSU on the project. UW is now talking with Gonzaga University about becoming a partner in its regional medical school program. There are 16 sponsors for a Senate bill to allow a WSU medical school in Spokane. A similar House bill has 64 sponsors. WSU officials contend their medical school would not

conflict with the existing UW program but would fill the need for more family practice physicians and doctors in underserved rural areas. UW officials said they don’t object to WSU setting up its own medical school, as long as the UW program doesn’t lose funding. “Give them their own resources to move forward,” said Genesee Adkins, a UW spokeswoman. State Sen. Mike Baumgartner, R-Spokane, asked why WSU’s offer to continue to cooperate on the established UW medical school in Spokane was rejected. “WSU maintained pursuit of

its school was its priority,” Adkins replied. “Maintaining our program is our priority.” UW contended it should get some $5.9 million the state has sent to WSU over the past several years for medical education in Spokane while the two schools were cooperating. WSU Regents Chairman Mike Worthy said there’s a debate about how much of that money was used for the medical school, and some was used for other health care education programs on the Spokane campus. The committee is considering

One big thank you

legislation sponsored by Baumgartner that would change state law that now restricts medical education to UW and would make it a field of study WSU could also offer. Changing the law is necessary before the Legislature could set aside money for WSU to seek accreditation for a communitybased medical school in Spokane. Before the hearing, Republican legislative leaders from both chambers said there was support to change the law. The bigger question would be how much it would cost.

Lawmakers pushing electric car ownership Associated Press

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray right pulls to help raise a “Thank You Seahawks” flag atop the Space Needle as Gov. Jay Inslee looks on Wednesday. Inslee later pointed south and predicted Seattle would be at Super Bowl L next season in San Francisco.

OLYMPIA — Even with gas prices hovering around the $2 per gallon mark, Washington lawmakers are pushing bills to encourage more state drivers to drive electric cars. State records showed nearly 12,000 plug-in electric vehicles registered in Washington as of the end of 2014, and approximately 450 charging stations to serve them. A series of bills in the state’s House and Senate as part of Gov. Jay Inslee’s anti-pollution agenda would create an electric-vehicle infrastructure bank to build new charging stations. It would be funded by electric-vehicle registration fees and by sales taxes on electric cars that cost above $45,000. Another bill would require cities in Snohomish, King, Pierce and Thurston counties to offer builders incentives for adding electric-vehicle charging stations to their projects. The Senate Transportation committee will hold hearings Wednesday afternoon on bills related to the proposals.

Obama’s budget includes F-35 simulators for Alaska Associated Press FAIRBANKS, Alaska — President Barack Obama’s proposed budget includes a request for $37 million to build an F-35 flight simulator facility at Eielson Air Force Base. The budget item would help prepare for arrival of 48 F-35A fighter jets at Eielson in 2020,

the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. Congress has final say on the budget. But U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s office is optimistic about it. “The fact that the administration is moving toward this means the Pentagon is moving toward this, and that’s a positive,” said Matthew Felling, a spokesman

for the Alaska Republican. “Verbal commitments have a strong reassurance factor, but the bottom line is always the bottom line. A budget represents bottomline discussions, and it’s clear the military’s long-term budget has Eielson on track for the F-35s.” The F-35 is meant to replace some military aircraft, including the Air Force’s F-16 Fighter

Falcons now stationed at Eielson. In August, Eielson was named as the preferred site to host the first Pacific squadron of F-35s. The Pentagon, however, has not definitively confirmed that the planes will be based at Eielson. The request in the budget proposal is for construction of a new facility at Eielson with six simulator bays, secure work areas and

training classrooms. An existing structure would be altered and expanded for the operations. The current average cost of the F-35 is about $150 million per plane, according to Lockheed Martin Corp.’s website. In 2014, the Department of Defense announced a plan that seeks to decrease the cost of each fighter jet to $85 million.

Oregon accepting applications from hemp farmers Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon farmers could put in their first crop of industrial hemp this spring, the state Agriculture Department says. The department has finished making rules and is now accepting applications for licenses to grow. Hemp is the cousin of marijuana that doesn’t cause a high. Historically, the crop was used for rope, but advocates these days tout it for clothing, food and cosmetics as well. The crop is still illegal under federal law, but eighteen states have removed barriers to

production, said Lauren Stansbury of the Hemp Industries Association told The Oregonian. Three reported crops last year, she said: Colorado, Kentucky and Vermont. The Oregon Legislature made industrial hemp legal in 2009, but state officials held off rule-making until the Obama administration signaled that it wouldn’t make cracking down on hemp cultivation a priority. The recreational marijuana initiative that Oregon voters approved last year included legal hemp, saying its goal was to make sure the crop could be planted in accordance with the existing law.

During the rule-making process, potential hemp growers chafed at some restrictions, but agency officials said they were set in the law. Among them was a three-year license, which might discourage growers who thought to give the crop a one-year test. The agency priced the license at $1,500. Another was a prohibition against processing hemp seeds into oil, diminishing potential uses. The law requires industrial hemp to contain less than 0.3 percent of the chemical that gives marijuana its kick. That’s tetrahydrocannabinol, known as THC.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A tractor cuts a small plot of hemp at a University of Kentucky research plot near Lexington, Kentucky, on Sept. 23. Industrial hemp is the cousin of marijuana that doesn’t cause a high.

Washington’s Senate passes bill allowing industrial hemp production Associated Press OLYMPIA — Industrial hemp would be allowed to be grown in Washington state under a measure passed by the Senate.

Senate Bill 5012 received unanimous support Wednesday in the Senate and now heads to the House for consideration. The measure authorizes the growing of industrial hemp

as an agricultural activity in the state. It also directs Washington State University to study industrial hemp production in the state, with a report due to the Legislature by

Jan. 14, 2016. Hemp, like marijuana, comes from the cannabis plant but has much less THC, the active ingredient in marijuana that makes people high.

Washington voters passed Initiative 502 in November 2012 to legalize and regulate the recreational use of pot by adults over 21, and the first state-licensed pot stores opened last summer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will be set back by criticism. You’ll have to decide whether what is said is constructive or meddling. An outsider is likely to see your situation clearer than you. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take the path that is free of conflict. Problems at work will arise if you have been mixing business with pleasure. You are best to make adjustments to a relationship that is crossing boundaries and could make you look bad. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t believe everything you hear. Listening to someone’s boasting may be intriguing, but it will not benefit you in the end. Focus on your own ideas and plans and you will make progress. ���� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): All eyes will be on you. Keep a low profile and don’t make promises you cannot deliver. Emotional problems will escalate if you aren’t honest about the way you feel. Protect your emotional and physical well-being. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Go after your dreams, hopes and wishes. A commitment can be made. The more you do to please someone you care about, the easier it will be to get your way. ����� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sort through your possessions and get rid of what’s no longer relevant. Selling unwanted items will bring in a little extra cash, giving you incentive to purge more and spend less in the future. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Observe what everyone around you is doing before you make a move. Someone you least expect will set you up for a fall. Don’t let anyone take you for granted. ���

Vikings rally, top Bearcats

10 other plays that doomed Seahawks

Lake Stevens beats Monroe 55-52 to take control of Wesco 4A division By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — After trailing for most of three quarters, the Lake Stevens girls basketball team scored the first seven points of the final period for a lead it never lost. And even though the Vikings still had some white-knuckle moments down the stretch, they held on for a 55-52 victory over rival Monroe on Wednesday night in a showdown of two top Wesco 4A teams. The outcome clinches at least a share of the Wesco title for Lake Stevens, which improved its league mark to 11-1, 16-2 overall. The young Vikings, who have just two varsity seniors, lead Monroe and Snohomish by two games in the conference standings with two games to play. “Our last league title was 2012,” said Lake Stevens coach Randall Edens, “so for this group to do that for as young as we are, I’m pumped. I want our young kids to go through moments like this. I want them to have that success. I want them to feel that joy, that exhilaration.” Lake Stevens got all but two of its points from four players — senior forward Emily Vandegrift, senior guard Alex Briggs, freshman forward Kylee Griffen and junior forward Hailey Wilson. The 6-foot-1 Vandegrift was particularly big for the Vikings, leading all scorers with 19 points. “She’s the hub of what we do,” Edens said. “Without her we’re a totally different team. The girls feed off of her energy and her relentlessness and just her passion for the game. She’s a classic lead-by-example player, and if we could embody her in all of our players ... that’s what we’d want.”

Everyone will remember ‘the interception,’ but there were other events that cost Seattle a Super Bowl win.

S

EATTLE — The Seahawks called a pass play, Patriots rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler jumped the route, and an interception ensured that Seattle’s hopes of repeating as Super Bowl champions fell one yard short. By now you’ve seen the replay a thousand times, heard the play call debated ad nauseam, and asked over and over again, “Why didn’t they give it to Marshawn Lynch? Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?” But when a championship comes down to literally one yard, a lot had to happen besides that final Seahawks pass for the Patriots to emerge from Super Bowl XLIX as 28-24 vicJOHN BOYLE tors. Great plays, mistakes, injuries, shrewd coaching decisions, penalties and no-calls all played a roll in the game getting to the 1-yard line with seconds remaining. While Butler’s interception was the biggest and most memorable play that led to the New England victory, it wasn’t the only one. So let’s go back and look at 10 plays from the second half, other than the interception, that contributed to the Seahawks falling short.

Third quarter

See VIKINGS, Page C4

11:51 remaining, third-and-1 from the New England 8 Lynch runs for no gain. Rushing Lynch on third-andshort is, by itself, an easy decision, but what was significant is that it was a third straight run just after Russell Wilson had hit Chris Matthews for a 45-yard gain. After Lynch was stuffed and Seattle settled for a field goal, a mic’d up Wilson would tell offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to “have confidence in me down there.” 8:15 remaining, third-and-9 from the New England 32 Tom Brady’s pass intended for Rob Gronkowski is intercepted by Bobby Wagner.

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY

Five MP athletes sign letters of intent UW’s Petersen feels ‘really Vitcovich, Joyner, Otto, Koehn, LaBrake commit to play college athletics

strong’ about recruiting class

By David Krueger

Herald Writer

The News Tribune

MARYSVILLE — There were no commitment issues for five Marysville Pilchuck seniors who signed national letters of intent Wednesday morning. Well, except for nerves. “I was really nervous. I messed my signature up a little bit when I was up there,” said senior football player Bryce Vitcovich, who signed with Colorado State-Pueblo. “But it felt pretty awesome.” Vitcovich and teammate Austin Joyner, who signed with the University of Washington, were two of the five Tomahawks signing

SEATTLE — University of Washington football coach Chris Petersen was asked to give a little rundown on all 24 new Huskies from national letter of intent signing day Wednesday. He politely declined, noting that the individual assessments would sound too similar to the enthusiasm he feels for the overall class. “These guys are great,” he said. “But I don’t want to sit here (and say) ‘This guy is the greatest player that’s ever came to the University of Washington: Just watch how fast he goes to the NFL.’ That’s what everybody says on this deal. I can’t tell you how strongly I feel about these guys, but that’s what it’s going to sound like, and everybody’s

going to be, ‘Oh, here we go again.’ ... I’ll think that across the board and on paper, we feel really, really strong about it.” Most recruiting services and websites were reserved Chris Petersen more in their assessments, ranking UW’s haul around the top 25 nationally, and fifth in the Pac-12 Conference. However, several times over his 30-minute press conference Petersen stressed how such assessments are sometimes befuddling in the short-term and eventually proved flat-out meaningless over a four- or fiveyear college career.

Mount Vernon grad Kendrick signs with Rockies Associated Press DENVER — Free-agent pitcher Kyle Kendrick and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a $5.5 million, one-year contract. The 30-year-old right-hander, a graduate of Mount Vernon High School, is 74-68 with a 4.42 ERA in eight major-league seasons, all with the Philadelphia Phillies, and has won 10 games or more games six times. Kendrick, whose agreement was announced Wednesday, is a durable sinkerball specialist, but has a 5.26 ERA in seven career appearances at Coors Field. He allowed 25 homers last year, when he went 10-13 for the second straight season. His 32 starts and 199 innings were career highs. To make room for Kendrick on their roster, the Rockies designated left-hander Yohan Flande for assignment. Flande went 0-6 with a 5.19 ERA last year in 10 starts and six relief appearances.

Hamilton to have surgery ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels slugger Josh Hamilton could be out for two months after surgery on his right shoulder, putting in doubt his availability for opening day. Hamilton will have surgery to repair his AC joint on Wednesday, the Angels announced. The 2010 AL MVP needs surgery to fix a shoulder that has been bothering him since last September. The Angels open April 6 at Seattle and it’s uncertain whether the left fielder will be ready. Hamilton has 31 homers and 123 RBI in two years for Los Angeles.

hey’re not smelt at all. They’re eulachon, and in the vernacular of way back when, they were “hooligans.” Most folks say their table quality is several steps down the ladder from the surf smelt jigged and raked in a number of locations in Puget Sound, and I have to agree with that assessment. Still, many of us hold fond memories of winters past when huge runs of “smelt” made their way up the Columbia River and multi-week seasons were opened by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife for recreational dip-netting. Several tributaries also opened from time to time, but the king of southwest Washington smelt dipping was always the Cowlitz. In years of smelt abundance, it wasn’t unusual to take your limit of fish in two or three swings of the long-handled dip net. That’s a fair piece to go for a five-gallon bucket about a quarter-full of mediocre eating, but of course the trip was about more than that. It’s a familyfriendly activity as long as you put flotation on the kids, and there’s something primal about throwing that net out there, dropping it to just above bottom, pushing it downstream faster than the current, and bringing it in at the end of the swing, hopefully heavy with a squirming, silver bounty. For whatever reason, the runs dwindled until — in 2010 — the fish were declared threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act along the Pacific Coast. Since then, populations have recovered to the point that limited recreational and commercial seasons were opened last year, and are scheduled again this year. The 2014 openings offered excellent dip-netting at times in the Cowlitz, on the strength of a run of just under 200 million smelt, or about 16.8 million pounds. To put the recreational and commercial harvests in perspective, sport dippers took an

PICK OF THE WEEK | San Juan Islands blackmouth

Outdoor calendar

An outstanding winter blackmouth season in Marine Area 7 (the San Juan Islands) could close in the next two or three weeks. The daily limit was cut to one hatchery chinook several weeks ago, and new regulations now allow fishing only on a Friday-through-Sunday schedule. The reason, of course, is that the catch has been so good that anglers are nearing chinook limits in the islands. Participants in the Roche Harbor Classic Salmon Derby this weekend probably will concentrate on the San Juans northwest quadrant, according to Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington, so central and

estimated 198,000 pounds of eulachon on the Cowlitz last year during two days of good fishing in early March. The mainstem Columbia commercial fishery took an estimated 18,600 pounds of fish during the month of February. The combined recreational and commercial harvests was a very small percentage of the run, and biologists say the fisheries have only a limited impact on the overall smelt return. Washington and Oregon fish managers said this year’s run looks good, but probably not quite up to last year’s bonanza. The Washington season is scheduled on the Cowlitz for this Saturday and Feb 14, from 6 a.m. to noon both days. No fishing license is required, and the limit is 10 pounds. Check your favorite tackle shop for dip nets, which are currently selling in the $40 range. Dip-netting takes place on the lower Cowlitz from its junction with the Columbia upriver to about Castle Rock, and there’s a lot of bank access. Coming from the north, the Castle Rock area is the closest, and state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver gives these directions: Take the Castle Rock exit off I-5 into downtown. If you go straight ahead at the light, you’ll hit a county park on the east side of the river that offers access. Turn right at the light, cross the bridge, and there’s access on either side of the old fairgrounds on your left. There’s also access upriver about a half-mile at the boat access. Hymer said access also can be found at a lot of other places in and around Kelso/Longview: above and below the Allen Street Bridge in Kelso; the Carnival Market section in west Kelso, at

southern areas such as Parker Reef, Point Lawrence, Tide Point and Lopez Flats likely won’t be crowded, and should put out blackmouth. John likes small, plug-cut red herring, or yellow label or anchovies for the whole-bait angler. Small 2- and 3-inch Kingfisher spoons are a good choice, in green UV, green glow, cookies ’n cream, cop car and others. Small squid also work, in purple haze or green spatterback. Tide Point and Point Lawrence have produced blackmouth to 15-plus pounds recently, John said, while Lopez Flats fish are running in the 7- to 9-pound range. — Wayne Kruse

the north side of town; Rocky Point, upstream from Carnival Market, and elsewhere. River conditions are pretty good, Hymer said, with flows at Castle Rock at 12,800 cubic feet per second, slightly higher than the long-term average.

Springers

A few early spring chinook have been caught on the lower Columbia, and the first one has returned to the Cowlitz salmon hatchery, but the popular fishery below Bonneville Dam doesn’t usually get rolling until March. The springer season is currently open up to the I-5 bridge, and fisheries managers in Washington and Oregon set other parameters for the fishery last week. The lower river season runs through April 10, and under guidelines for this season, anglers will be allowed 11,500 spring chinook before an updated run forecast is available in early May. The 2015 projected run to the Columbia is 312,600 fish, just shy of last year’s banner run.

Anacortes derby As most folks are aware by now, the big Anacortes Salmon Derby has been cancelled because of uncertainty about when the salmon season in Marine Area 7 will close. Derby spokesman Jay Field in Anacortes said tickets — which were scheduled to go on sale Feb. 1 — have “been consigned to the trash heap” because of word from the state of a severe curtailment of opportunity in Area 7. In a release dated Jan. 27, Field said “The Anacortes derby was not the only casualty, as several others were affected as well. Roche Harbor was nearly cancelled; the monthlong Frank Wilson Memorial Derby out of Friday Harbor was cancelled, and the fishing area available to participants in the Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby out of Gardiner was curtailed. “Going forward, the prospects of abbreviated, uncertain seasons could negatively affect the long-term viability of the Anacortes derby. The board of directors have decided to

take the hatchet to the derby this year, and an uncertain season now and in the future just might have struck the death knell for this classic event.”

Olympic Peninsula derby On the other hand, the Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby out of Gardiner on Discovery Bay appears to be alive and well for its scheduled dates of Feb. 20-22. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said he talked with derby officials Dan Tatum and Norm Metzler, and neither saw any serious problems stemming from curtailments on the inner Sound. Ted’s and Outdoor Emporium in Seattle are the only outlets for the $40 tickets on this side of the pond, Chamberlain said. “Fishing has been pretty decent out that way,” he said, “at the winter hole off Port Angeles, a few coming from Discovery Bay, Kanem Point on the west side of Protection Island, the Sequim area and the offshore banks are all putting out fish.” Chamberlain said he also had reports indicating commercial trollers in the Neah Bay area were doing well.

Ducks hand Huskies third straight loss By Christian Caple

PAC-12 MEN’S BASKETBALL

The News Tribune

EUGENE, Ore. — The question was rhetorical, a taunt directed toward the Washington Huskies from the student section at Matthew Knight Arena. As senior guard Mike Anderson lined up a pair of free throws in the first half, the students chanted: “Where is Upshaw?” They clapped five times, rhythmically, then again: “Where is Upshaw?” They knew the answer, of course. Robert Upshaw is gone, dismissed 10 days ago for violating team rules, and he’s not coming back. And the concept of protecting the basket without the towering 7-footer isn’t getting any easier for the Huskies to grasp. That was apparent, repeatedly, again, throughout Washington’s 78-74 loss here to the Oregon Ducks on Wednesday night before a mostly tepid crowd of 5,866. And it felt similar to UW’s 90-88 loss on Sunday to California. The Huskies (14-8, 3-7 in Pac-12) attacked the basket aggressively. They scored 46 points in the paint despite playing about 13 minutes with a five-guard lineup. They shot 73 percent on 2-point attempts. The Huskies were efficient, too; Nigel Williams-Goss scored 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting, Andrew Andrews had 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting, and forward Shawn Kemp Jr. scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting. But again, they simply didn’t play much defense, allowing the Ducks to shoot 53.4 percent from the field, and allowing guard Joseph Young to fill the hoop with 32 points. Most of his 12

made field goals were jumpers, and four of them were 3-pointers. Zone or man-to-man, off the dribble or off a screen, he lit it up. “Joseph Young did his thing, but aside from that, we still had too many defensive lapses,” Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said after his team’s third consecutive loss. “They are a good offensive team, and sometimes good offensive teams force you into those lapses, but ... we didn’t control the situations defensively that we could have controlled. And that hurt us.” Young’s tough bucket in the paint with 24 seconds remaining gave Oregon a two-point lead. On the following possession, the Huskies wanted to find forward Kemp coming off a double-screen-and-roll for Williams-Goss, and Kemp was open. But Williams-Goss felt the defense forced him too far sideways, and he didn’t think the angle would allow for a

successful pass to Kemp beneath the rim. So he handed to Anderson instead, and Anderson eventually threw the ball away. Oregon iced the game with free throws. “I saw him at the last minute, but it was a longer pass and I didn’t want to risk the turnover,” said Williams-Goss, who was otherwise stellar, leading UW with 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting with six assists. “Mike was the closest guy, so I kind of handed it off and then after that, it just was kind of bad spacing.” But just as they said after Sam Singer’s late 3-pointer beat them on Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of plays the Huskies could have made to render the final possession moot. And again, most of those errors came on defense. They left Young wide open beyond the 3-point arc several times, and you can probably guess how that turned out. Washington’s

Wednesday’s result Oregon 78, Washington 74 smaller lineup also struggled again to rebound, allowing Oregon 17 second-chance points on 11 offensive boards. That is a damning statistic, given that this game had 11 lead changes, 12 ties, and neither team led by more than four points in the second half after Oregon led 42-37 at halftime. “In the first half, when we got into rotation situations, we didn’t find someone to put a body on the box-out,” Romar said. “So they scored 11 points in the first half off of secondchance points — a couple of those were 3s, I believe — and that hurt us a little bit.” He was also quick to note that UW misses 6-foot-10 forward Jernard Jarreau, who is likely out another one to three weeks while recovering from knee surgery. “The biggest issue is just trying to shore up maybe some of the bad habits that we developed when those guys were in there,” Romar said.

FOOTBALL SIGNING DAY

Cougars focus on lines and DBs By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — Washington State coach Mike Leach signed a quarterback and three wide receivers for his Air Raid offense on Wednesday, but wanted to highlight some other players in his latest recruiting class. “The quality of the offensive and defensive line and the defensive backs in particular,” Leach said when asked to place an identity on his recruiting class. “This is the best class in my opinion we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Leach, who

is entering his fourth season with the Cougars. Of the 23 players signed by Leach, 17 were from California, two from American Samoa, and one each from Washington, Arizona, Maryland and Utah. Safety Deion Singleton of Pasco was the only in-state player Leach signed. Singleton originally signed last year but was declared academically ineligible. Leach said the Cougars are likely to add some walk-on players from Washington. Freshman quarterback Tyler Hilinski from Upland, California, graduated from high school early and has

already enrolled at WSU for the spring semester. “Big guy but also kind of mobile,” Leach said. “Extremely productive inside the pocket and outside the pocket.” The new receivers include sophomore Kyrin Priester, a transfer from Clemson who was heavily recruited out of high school in Georgia. The others are junior college transfer C.J. Dimry and freshman Kyle Sweet, who becomes the latest of a line of players from Santa Margarita Catholic High School in California to join the Cougars. “They develop players

better than most programs do,” Leach said. The Cougars got a surprise Wednesday when T.J. Fehoko, a defensive end from Cottonwood High School in Murray, Utah, announced he was selecting WSU over Nevada and North Carolina State. The Cougars lost some likely recruits because of the move of receivers coach Dennis Simmons to Oklahoma. Receiver Dahu Green of Oklahoma City opted out of a commitment and signed with Oklahoma. Deontay Burnett of Gardena, California, another receiver committed to WSU, has not yet signed.

Abi Otto (softball) committed to Northwest Nazarene, and MP soccer players Abbi Koehn and Cassie LaBrake both signed with Everett-based Trinity Lutheran. Unlike Joyner, who verbally committed to the Huskies in early January, Vitcovich’s recruitment went down to the wire. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Vitcovich just recently settled on Colorado State-Pueblo, the defending NCAA DivisionII champion, choosing the ThunderWolves over Carroll College. “The work ethic was the No.1 reason,” Vitcovich said. “I got a chance to see them in the weight room and see how hard they worked. That really drew me to them. And they’re D-II national champs. That’s a big plus.” Vitcovich was a first-team Herald All-Area selection on both the offensive and defensive line, helping block for Joyner on a Marysville Pilchuck team that reached the Class 3A state semifinals. “It’s really neat,” said Marysville Pilchuck head coach Brandon Carson, who attended the signing ceremony. “It’s very rewarding anytime you have kids that go on to play in college.” Joyner, meanwhile, was happy to see his recruitment process finally come to an end. The star running/ defensive back committed to Washington originally after his junior year. He pulled out of that commitment when former UW head coach Steve Sarkisian departed for USC, and instead committed to Washington State. After WSU fired defensive coordinator Mike Breske, Joyner’s main recruiter, the senior reopened his recruitment before finally settling on the Huskies.

“The whole recruiting train is crazy, up and down, you never know where it’s going to go,” Joyner said. “But it’s over now. I’ve seen the whole thing, all the way through, and here I am going to U-Dub.” Joyner said Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake was a big draw because of his experience developing defensive players. Another big plus for Joyner was Washington’s strong recruiting class, which is ranked No. 23 in the nation by the recruiting service Scout.com. Joyner is the No. 1 recruit in

the state of Washington and No. 255 in the nation according to ESPN.com. Joyner, who ran for 1,768 yards and 32 touchdowns his senior year, was a two-time Herald Offensive Player of the Year as well as the Gatorade Player of the Year for Washington this season. “This class is really strong,” Joyner said of the UW’s recruits. “I like everybody who’s coming in with the class. I feel like that’s a good thing, that’s something you need to have. You’re going to be with them for four years so having people in the class

Petersen was pleased that the letters came in as planned, which he attributed to a softsell recruiting approach that simply lays out the philosophy of the program and the assets of the university. He praised the breadth and depth of the class. By the numbers, there are eight players from Washington, 11 from California and one each from Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Texas and Wyoming. “I think the kids in this state get the power and the beauty of this university,” Petersen said. “And not just footballwise. ... I think they see the whole picture. Everybody wants to talk about taking care of their back yard and their state, and that’s much easier said than done. These guys are highly recruited guys; they have a lot of different choices.” Thirteen are listed as defensive players, 10 on offense and one is a long snapper. But Petersen admitted that some could change sides of the ball or fill roles on both sides. “Across the board, I think

it’s really what we needed,” he said. “We really targeted, ‘OK, we want this many guys at this position,’ and it doesn’t always work out that way. We’re not going to take a guy just to take him, to fill a need if we don’t think he’s good enough. And so we got our quarterback (Jake Browning). We got our running back in

Myles (Gaskin). I think Chico (McClatcher) could play both. We got some receivers. We wanted to take a tight end, and Michael Neal I think is an interesting guy.” Petersen noted that these offensive linemen are the tallest he’s ever seen. He said the defensive linemen each bring a different set of skills.

that you like really makes a difference.” Joyner is looking forward to the next level of his football career, and is eager to make an immediate impact at Washington. “It’s the beginning of a new road,” Joyner said. “I remember when I first came to high school, there were no offers or anything like that. I was shooting to get offers and here I am going D-1. … It’s not like I come in and I have a spot. I have to earn it still. But I think I have a really good shot at playing.” Otto, a first-team All Wesco 3A North selection at third base, will attend Northwest Nazarene, alone with Lake Stevens standout Cassidy Fifield. LaBrake, a midfielder, and Koehn, a defender, will remain on the same team at Everettbased Trinity Lutheran where the pair will play soccer. “Next year’s going to be a little scary but I’m super excited for it,” LaBrake said. “I know we’re going to have a lot of fun being together for another four years. It’s definitely something we wanted.”

He seemed excited to add five linebackers to a program that he believes was short at that position. And while granting that long-snapper isn’t a glamour spot, he went out of his way to stress that A.J. Carty “can fire the rock.” Two members of the class — freshman Browning and transfer sophomore defensive back Ezekiel Turner — already have enrolled at UW. And Petersen implied others also could come in early. But despite his eagerness to get started, he stressed his understanding if they want to stick around for their full high school senior experience, perhaps attending other sports or attending prom. “To us it’s really like Christmas Eve around here,” he said. “We’ve got all these great presents that we just can’t wait to open. But we really can’t see them or do anything with them until they get here in the summertime; and even then it’s not really football, it’s weights and those kinds of things. And so we’ll be really, really excited in early August to let these guys go. ... We like these guys as kids. On paper it’s exactly what you want it to look like. And now we’re excited to see how they progress and develop.”

Brown leads Eagles to win By David Krueger Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — Peyton Brown quickly made Arlington head coach Joe Marsh’s job really easy. The Eagles freshman came off the bench and immediately started swishing 3-pointers to help Arlington pull ahead against Stanwood. Marsh says he never pulls someone after they make a 3-pointer and Brown continued to make them throughout the game. Brown finished with 28 points — and nine 3-pointers — and the Arlington team finished with 16 threes— tying a school record — as the Eagles defeated Stanwood 79-58 Wednesday night at Arlington High School. The victory clinches a Wesco 3A North title for the Eagles. “Unbelievable,” Arlington head coach Joe Marsh said. “We know she can shoot it. I said, ‘Hey, if you get a look you’re going to take it.’ And she hits a couple and she kept hitting them all night long tonight. I’m pretty sure it’s a school record.” The first of Brown’s 3-pointers came as the buzzer sounded to end the first quarter. She added four more in the second quarter to help Arlington to a 39-25 lead at halftime. The freshman guard, who is the daughter of Arlington boys head

coach Nick Brown, netted one of three 3-point attempts in the third quarter and three more in the fourth quarter as the Eagles closed the game out. “What we wanted to do was get out and take away the three,” said Stanwood head coach Dennis Kloke. “... We knew they do two things: they shoot threes and they take the ball to the hoop.” It wasn’t just Brown who was having success from behind the 3-point arc. Sevi Bielser made four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points and Gracie Castaneda scored 15 points for Arlington (8-0 league, 16-2 overall), which completed the season sweep of Stanwood (7-2, 15-4). “I wish I could take credit for the shooting but there’s nothing magical we do,” Marsh said. “There were great performances all down the line. Great performance from Peyton and from Sevi shooting, Gracie had a great game. Jessica Ludwig got through some foul trouble. All these girls battled and did a great job tonight.” The Wesco 3A North title was something the Eagles had been eyeing since the start of the season. Arlington, which won the past two Wesco 4A North titles, switched to the 3A classification prior to the start of the 2014-15 school year. The switch hasn’t changed the outcome for the Eagles’ basketball

team. “We’ve done it the last two years in 4A and we wanted to do it again,” Marsh said. “That was on the top of our list of goals this year. It’s about putting yourself in a good position going into playoffs and getting a good spot. “Our goal now is to start looking toward district playoffs and that 3A district tournament is going to be a doozy because there’s a lot of really, really good teams.” Five of the eight teams in the loaded 3A District 1 tournament are ranked in the Associated Press top 10: No. 1 Lynnwood, No. 5 Glacier Peak, No. 6 Arlington, No. 7 Ferndale and No. 10 Edmonds-Woodway. Stanwood will also be in the mix at districts and hopes to learn from its matchup with Arlington. Tristan Murphy scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Julia Heichel added 11 points for the Spartans, who were playing without guard Ashley Bierer who was out sick. “We have a real tough time in our practice simulating the quickness and the speed that Arlington has,” Kloke said. “That speed hurts us. ... I thought Haley Strowbridge (nine points) played really well. Tristan Murphy always competes. She didn’t get to touch the ball much because their defense took us out of our offense.”

Briggs, meanwhile, had just three field goals, but they were all 3-pointers at pivotal times. The first came in the second quarter, cutting a six-point Monroe lead in half, and the other two came in the fourth as the Vikings finally went on top to stay. Early in the game, Edens said, “I thought early we were a little awestruck and on our heels. ... But Alex and Emily have been through some big moments, so we try to lean on them and say, ‘Hey, we need you to lead by example and kind of help these guys through, one moment at a time, one play at a time.’ And I thought for the most part they did a really good job.” Griffen, a first-year player with a lot of promise, contributed 17 points while Wilson chipped in eight. In the game’s final frantic moments, both teams struggled at the offensive end. Neither team scored a field goal over the last 31⁄2 minutes until Monroe’s Kylee Ferreira launched a 3-pointer from near midcourt that swished at the game-ending buzzer. The Bearcats had several chances to cut into Lake Stevens’ lead down the

first try of a one-and-one — before Griffen finally converted once with four seconds remaining. “I wish we would’ve shot some free throws a little bit better down the stretch,” Edens said. “We’re way better than that. But that

Lynnwood clinches share of title By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Earlier this season, the Lynnwood girls basketball team defeated Edmonds-Woodway by 33 points. The two teams met again in a game that had a large say into who will win the Wesco 3A/2A South league championship. The Warriors trailed by just nine points at halftime, but by the time the game was over the final score was closer to that of the first game. After a 78-53 win, Lynnwood has clinched at least a share of the Wesco 3A/2A South championship. Though the final margin of victory might not show it, Edmonds-Woodway was much more competitive against the Royals the second time around. “I’m very happy with our overall effort because Edmonds-Woodway was bringing the thunder a little bit tonight,” Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards said. “They were rebounding better and they were playing tougher. For us to face a little bit of adversity with only being up nine points at the half, I think we showed great character playing good basketball in the second half.” Lynnwood led 20-7 after the

first quarter, but a 22-point second quarter by the Warriors kept the deficit to single digits at 38-29 at halftime. The second half, however, belonged to the Royals. Lynnwood outscored Edmonds-Woodway 40-24 to turn a close game into a blowout. Leading the way for Lynnwood was junior Mikayla Pivec. Despite Edmonds-Woodway’s best efforts to stop the Royals’ leading scorer, Pivec finished with a game-high 25 points — 17 of which came in the second half. “I know that Coach Wells had Edmonds-Woodway running a boxand-one on Mikayla, primarily, and Jordyn (Edwards),” Edwards said. “To be able to score 25 points when they’re trying to stop you just shows her skill as a player, but also our ability to play good team ball. We had other kids step up and make great passes and make great shots. I didn’t realize she had 25 points. That’s pretty good.” The Royals built their early lead by making their first three shots of the game — all 3-pointers. Less than two minutes into the game Lynnwood was up 9-2. “That was a great start,” Edwards said. “We practiced shooting threes and we practiced pounding it inside. It was a situation where we got off

to a great start, but obviously that didn’t last very long.” Edmonds-Woodway kept it close in the second quarter and the early part of the third before Lynnwood started to pull away. It seemed as though every time EdmondsWoodway would get to within nine, Lynnwood would answer with a quick run of its own. “Our defense keys a lot of that,” Edwards said. “Whenever we get those quick spurts like that it’s usually because of our defense.” The Warriors may have hit more of their shots than they did the first time they played Lynnwood, but they also turned the ball over significantly more, finishing with 28 turnovers. “I think it was a lot in our control,” Wells said. “We turned the ball over way too many times. Once you turn over the ball they get a fast break and they get points. “With a team like Lynnwood you can’t have 30 turnovers. You can’t have 30 turnovers against anyone and expect to win or be in that game.” Aaron Lommers covers prep sports for The Herald.

Packers’ Guion arrested; had pot, gun and $190K in his truck Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — Authorities said Wednesday that Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Letroy Guion had been arrested in Florida on felony charges of drug and firearm possession after a traffic stop turned up three-quarters of a pound of marijuana, a 9mm handgun and a bag containing more than $190,000 in cash. Guion, 27, was arrested on Tuesday night during a traffic stop in his hometown of Starke, Florida. Police said that the lineman “became extremely uncooperative and hostile” during the stop and wound up being handcuffed to protect the officers. Guion was released from Bradford County jail on Wednesday on $100,000 bail. Green Bay signed Guion to a one-year deal as a free agent last offseason. Now Guion’s future is murky with one of the league’s model franchises. According a police statement, Guion asked the officer who pulled him over “if he knew who he was.” During the search of the truck, Guion “kept coming towards the vehicle several times” and asked officers not to take his money, police said. Guion had to be handcuffed after rushing the driver’s side of the truck to try to remove the “bag pack” on the front seat containing the marijuana and money, police said.

According to authorities, Guion said his 9mm semiautomatic handgun was registered. But in Florida, having a firearm is considered a felony if it is in that person’s possession while committing another alleged felony. Authorities said the bag contained more than $190,000 cash as well as 357 grams of marijuana. Possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana in Florida is considered a felony. Cowboys’ Randle arrested Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle has been arrested for the second time in less than four months, this time on suspicion of marijuana possession after a domestic-violence call to police in his hometown in Kansas. Wichita police spokesman Lt. James Espinoza said Randle was arrested early Tuesday after the 22-year-old mother of Randle’s child called 911 to report she fought with him in a hotel room. Espinoza said the woman showed no signs of being injured. She was there so Randle could see his child. The 23-year-old Randle was arrested after a small amount of marijuana was found, and he was ordered to appear in court in three weeks on the possession charge. He wasn’t taken into custody. Espinoza said there was a report of a weapon being involved, but police couldn’t find one and were told another man left with a handgun. It’s the second arrest since October for Randle, who faced a misdemeanor shoplifting charge at a Dallas-area mall after police in the suburb of Frisco say he was accused of taking $123 worth of cologne and underwear from a department store.

Lynch won’t be fined by NFL By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Marshawn Lynch was just there so he wouldn’t get fined, and indeed the Seattle Seahawks running back escaped any punishment from the NFL for spending most of Super Bowl week giving non-answers during his media sessions. Lynch showed up to each of his three required sessions, staying five minutes before departing. A league spokesman confirmed Wednesday that Lynch did comply with his media obligations with those three sessions. Additionally, there had been speculation that Lynch could be fined for promoting his “Beast Mode” brand with the hats he wore each day rather than wearing team-issued gear. But since those hats are made by NFL licensee New Era, Lynch is in the clear there as well. As of Wednesday afternoon, seven of the nine hat designs at beastmodeonline.com, which retail between $32 and $40 apiece, were sold out.

Chancellor has torn MCL Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that safety Kam Chancellor gave a “superhuman” effort to play in the Super Bowl after injuring his knee in practice two days before the game. And it turns out Chancellor did indeed play through a pretty significant injury, having suffered a torn MCL and bone bruise in Friday’s practice, according to the team’s website. Chancellor was not made available to the media on Tuesday, but did tell Seahawks.com, “They told me I wasn’t going to be able to play. They told me, ‘Torn MCL and bone bruise.’ I was mad, I was frustrated. But at the end of the day, I was able to play.”

Boyle From Page C1

This turnover set up a touchdown that put the Seahawks up 10 points, but it was also the play on which defensive end Cliff Avril suffered a concussion, the second key injury on an interception along with Jeremy Lane’s broken arm. Both of these players would be missed in a big way down the stretch as the Patriots overcame a 10-point deficit. 1:12 remaining, thirdand-2 from the New England 47 Wilson’s deep pass down the left sideline is dropped by Jermaine Kearse. The throw was contested by Butler, but it was still a catch Kearse should make. And if he did haul in that long pass, momentum stays with the Seahawks, who likely get at least a field goal out of the drive to extend their 10-point lead. Instead, Seattle punts.

Fourth quarter 10:58 remaining, thirdand-14, from the New England 28 Brady climbs the pocket and hits Julian Edelman over the middle for a 21-yard

gain. In retrospect, this might have been the play of the game, other than THE play of the game. Up to this point, Seattle’s defense had been dominant in the second half, and another punt might have done New England in, but instead this was the play that jumpstarted the comeback. 8:46 remaining, thirdand-8 from the Seattle 25 Brady again moves up in the pocket and hits Edleman for a 21-yard gain. Again Seattle had thirdand-long, and again Brady came through. Those two third-down throws, along with a 15-yard penalty on Earl Thomas, allowed the Patriots to get down the field in a hurry. Two plays later, Brady hit Danny Amendola for a touchdown, and suddenly the Patriots were right back in the game. 7:55 remaining, firstand-10 from the Seattle 20 Wilson’s pass to Ricardo Lockette goes incomplete. Running a crossing route, Lockette was open when Butler fell in coverage, but suddenly Lockette was on the ground too. Replays showed that Butler reached out as he went down and tripped Lockette. It’s hard to blame Butler;

first-and-10 from the New England 49 Wilson’s deep pass to Kearse is broken up by Butler. The loss of down was less significant than the fact that Wilson, with the clock stopped, had to burn a timeout. The Seahawks would later use their second timeout following Kearse’s 33-yard circus catch, putting them in a position where they had to throw on secondand-goal from the 1. 1:06 remaining, first-andgoal from the New England five Lynch rushes for 4 yards to the 1. In the excitement of the finish, it was easy to miss just how close Lynch was to scoring one play before the interception. The play was well blocked, and when he hit the hole, Lynch looked for a moment like he was going to score, but linebacker Dont’a Hightower dove to undercut Lynch with a shoulder tackle. If Hightower is a split second later to the tackle, or if he hit Lynch up high and Lynch fought through it, or if any of the above plays had turned out differently, Wednesday’s parade might have been in Seattle instead of Boston.

he was beat, and Lockette catching that pass at full speed would have gone for a bigger gain than would a pass interference penalty, but it’s a trip officials should have caught. The Seahawks would go three-and-out after Wilson missed an open Lynch on third-and-5, compounding the significance of the no-call. 4:47 remaining, secondand-11 from the New England 48 Brady connects with Rob Gronkowski for a 20-yard gain. Brady would hit Gronkowski again for 19 yards two plays later on second-and-10, two of the most important connections of the day between New England’s best two offensive players. 2:06 remaining, secondand-goal from the Seattle 3 Brady hits Edelman for a touchdown. Edelman burned Tharold Simon by faking a slant route, then spinning back outside, a move he had also used on the previous drive, only to be overthrown by Brady. After not giving up a fourth-quarter point in the last six games of the regular season, Seattle allowed 14 to the Patriots. 1:55 remaining,

Peach Sorbet is a dwarf blueberry shrub that produces medium-sized sweet berries that ripen in July.

A new breed of berries

Blueberry and raspberry plants are ideal for Northwest landscapes and container gardens Editors note: Steve Smith has been owner and operator of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville since 1989. Starting today, his weekly column, The Whistling Gardener, will be published every Thursday in The Herald’s Home & Garden section.

or more than 50 years I’ve had the privilege of working in the field of horticulture from San Diego to the Canadian border. I grew up in Southern California spending many summers mowing lawns and working in the yard. My wife and I moved to the Great Northwest 25 years ago and bought Sunnyside Nursery, where we have been having sharing our gardening passion ever since. I hope to share that same passion in this column each week, dispensing advice with a touch of humor and helping readers make the most out of their time in the garden.

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER Sometimes that means exploring new things. There is a new breed of berries on the market that offers the home gardener not only great tasting fruit but attractive and functional landscape shrubbery at the same time. Fall Creek Farm and Nursery in Oregon breeds BrazelBerries, a series of blueberry and raspberry plants that are ideal for smaller landscapes and container gardens. All of the varieties are easy to grow in the Pacific Northwest climate where they

enjoy the same conditions as rhododendrons. Now is the perfect time to plant them too and you should be able to find them in the garden center alongside strawberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries, grapes and other small fruits. Rich organic soil, good drainage, acid fertilizer and adequate summer water is all it takes to make them happy. Fruit-producing shrubs and vines like grapes and kiwis don’t have to be relegated to the edible garden part of the yard. These varieties have attractive qualities that lend themselves well to incorporation into the ornamental part of any landscape. Here is a sampling of what they are currently offering: Raspberry Shortcake. This is a wonderful dwarf raspberry that only grows to 3 feet tall and produces full-sized fruit in mid-summer. It is also thornless,

What to do in the garden Take advantage of the rare dry weather and get some dirt under your fingernails, D3. which makes it well-suited for children. Plant it in full sun either in a large container or in the garden where it will spread slowly and is easily controlled (unlike traditional raspberries). Peach Sorbet. This is a dwarf blueberry that only grows 1½ to 2 feet tall. It is evergreen in our

mild winters but will defoliate if we get a nasty cold snap. New growth coloration is an attractive mix of peach, lime and dark bluegreen. Fall and winter colors are a dark purple with pink buds and stems. Medium-sized sweet berries ripen in July. Use this plant in containers, as a hedge or mixed into the landscape. Jelly Bean. This is a little puffball of a blueberry shrub, growing 1 to 2 feet tall. Foliage is bright green during the growing season turning to a rich green with red margins in the fall and winter. The berries are sweet and medium to large. Jelly Bean is well suited for containers or a mini-hedge. Blueberry Glaze. This blueberry shrub introduction sports glossy foliage that resembles a boxwood with delicious bluish-black fruit in July. Dense mounding foliage is glossy dark See SMITH, Page D3

ome serving pieces used in the 19th century are no longer needed or made. Victorian table settings were very elaborate — lace or other fancy cloths, at least six or seven special dishes for every course, like a service plate, then fish, soup, dinner, salad and butter plate, and a sauce dish. Of course there was silverware to match each course. The minimum was about nine pieces — usually a fork, fish fork, salad fork, dessert fork, spoon, soup spoon, dinner spoon, knife and butter knife. Each type of dessert also required special dishes and serving pieces. A berry bowl set for a dinner sold at Early’s Auction in

any value as an antique? A: Biggs made high-quality Colonial reproduction furniture. The company was started by J.F. Biggs, who began selling antiques in Richmond in 1890. A 1912 ad claimed the antiques shop was Virginia’s largest dealer of “old mahogany furniture, old brass, cut glass, copper plate, old china, engravings, paintings, etc.” The company began making highend reproduction furniture when the supply of antique furniture dwindled. In 1969 it became part of General Interiors Corporation, which also owned Kittinger. It was listed as a division of Kittinger in 1975. Biggs was out of business by 2010. The value of your chest is about $500.

Q: I have a silver plated creamer with a hinged lid marked “Albert Pick Co. Inc.” The silver plate is quite worn. Is it worth anything? A: Albert Pick, an immigrant from Austria, founded Albert Pick Company in Chicago in 1857. The company bought E.H.H. Smith Silver Co. of Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1919 and incorporated as Albert Pick & Co. Your silver-plated creamer was made after that. In the 1920s, family members established the Pick Hotel Corporation, which operated a chain of hotels until the 1960s. They used tablewares made by Albert Pick, sometimes See KOVEL, Page D3

What: Picea orientalis, or “Aureospicata,” is a stately evergreen that has short, dark green needles on its stiff branches. For drama in the garden, it is hard to beat golden Caucasian spruce. In spring, these explode with new growth that is a brilliant chartreuse. The contrast between the old and new growth is spectacular. This wonderful display remains effective until midsummer, when the spring growth matures to a deep forest green. The tree grows into a narrowly pyramidal shape, with

Picea orientalis “Aureospicata,” or golden Caucasian spruce

Notably, it is especially resistant to the highly damaging conifer aphid. Little pruning is needed to keep it looking its best, only to remove any dead or broken branches. Where: This spruce grows best in full sun. It prefers a well-drained or sandy soil, but will tolerate clay. Once established it is drought tolerant. Its slow growth make it a very well-mannered conifer for the urban landscape. Size: Reaches a height of 10 feet with a spread of 6 feet. GreatPlantPicks.org

tips for new homeowners

FEBRUARY

Have you just purchased a house? Sure, you may still have lots of work ahead of you before you can call it the perfect home, but settling in fast and getting cozy will set you on your way. Here are five tips to help you get comfortable.

NEW HOME OWNERS MONTH!

For a job well done, call in some real professionals — a plumber, interior decorator, house painter, etc.

1. For safety’s sake, change the locks on all exterior doors to ensure that the only people who have keys are those you have given to them personally. You should also draw up an evacuation plan and ensure there are enough smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the house. 2. Entrust any renovations and repairs to true professionals to ensure the job is done well. If you have several similar jobs to be done (plumbing or electricity, for example), have them all done at the same time. Shop around for several quotes to keep costs to a minimum. 3. You don’t know what to do with the living room? You’re not talented in

Hardware

creating color combinations? Enlist the help of an interior designer to create the perfect ambiance. And if you have a lot of rooms to paint and just the thought of it is getting you down, hire a team of painters; the work will be done quickly and done well, and you can get on with other tasks.

4. If the house is big but your many belongings are already making it feel cramped, there is a solution. Call in a home storage systems expert to show you how to maximize the space you have. 5. Lastly, if it isn’t already done, you should invest in some basic tools for maintaining the house and yard. A lawnmower and a kitted-out toolbox are always useful!

With homes becoming smarter with new technology and the growing popularity of LED lighting, Long says it’s vital for homeowners to make sure the electrician they hire is properly trained to do the job and holds required trade licensing. But even though the company might be licensed and employ a master electrician, that doesn’t mean the person doing an electrical job in your home meets those same standards. In about half of all states, he says, individuals performing the work are not required to be licensed electricians, even though the company must at least have a licensed electrician

It’s 6 inches long and has five charms: Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Jose Carioca. Please help me figure out what it’s worth. A: Walt Disney introduced Donald Duck in 1934, his three nephews in 1937 and Jose Carioca, a cigar-smoking Brazilian parrot, in “Saludos Amigos,” a 1942 Disney animated feature. Jose showed up again in “The Three Caballeros” in 1944. Several kinds of Disney character figural charms were made in the 1940s. You don’t tell us if your charms are plastic or metal. And if they’re metal, whether they’re silver,

Then follow up with the company to understand exactly who will be working on your home and their qualifications. Many counties

A reputable company also will require staff to attend regular training courses and stay current on the National Electrical Code, which is amended every three years. Kent Crook, owner of highly rated Wiremasters Electric in Miami, says he works in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where electrical contractors can send unlicensed workers on jobs provided they have oversight from a licensee. “In our state, you don’t have to have a licensed electrician on every job,” he says. “You just have to have

s the nation’s economy continues to improve and homeowners tackle more improvement projects, leaders in the electrical industry say a shortage of qualified electricians makes it even more important for homeowners to hire smartly. “The No. 1 challenge contractors are facing is not the amount of work, it’s a manpower issue,” says Thayer Long, CEO of the Independent Electrical Contractors, a national trade association representing 3,000 member companies. “Nationwide, there is a growing shortage of electricians in this country — trained electricians.”

DAILY CROSSWORD

Healthy woman’s sick of the criticism Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi, Carolyn! This seems like such a small, nitpicky issue but, honestly, it’s making me a little batty. I’m a vegetarian, run long distances on roads and trails, and have a regular yoga practice. All of these things make me happy and I enjoy them. My husband and I are nonprocreators, so the only person it takes time away from is him (and I think he cherishes those hours I’m out of the house!). I have had a few injuries over the years but always take care to heal and rest properly. For some reason a small cadre of people (mostly my judgmental mother-in-law, ‘cause what kind of question would this be without a mother-in-law aspect) consistently are on my case about how all this running will “ruin my knees” and how I’m certainly malnourished because “people were made to eat animals” (?!). It’s always something on anything I post on Facebook about a race or yoga class, or in person when they ask what I’m up to. Should I censor myself to those who are not truly supportive? For the record, my husband loves that I’m as into my health as he is into his ... but he never gets the comments. Is there a comeback other

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT than telling them to back off? I don’t want to be a jerk, but I am SICK of being criticized for positive things! — I’m Not “TOO” Healthy!!!! Have you ever asked her why she says X to you, but not her son? It’s the kind of question, when asked in a gentle tone at a calm moment, that can leave someone stammering for an answer, or start a thoughtful conversation. And you absolutely have standing to ask it. Just be open-minded and prepared to respond kindly no matter how she reacts. Something else: The way you’re looking at this is orienting you, no doubt unwittingly, toward defensiveness. Just look at the number of times you justify your lifestyle choices in a short letter ... I count five or six, depending on how I tally compound justifications. The

thing is, if you want to play Xbox and eat Funyuns, that’s no more anyone’s business than your yoga and carrots are. Granted, people tend to feel threatened and self-conscious by others’ virtue where they feel validated by snack-gorgers, but the fact remains that you don’t need to explain yourself, period. So please internalize that message and make it the launch pad for any response you have to your critics from now on, including passive or non-responses such as setting up a “health” friend list on Facebook that excludes your critics, and employing it liberally. That way, you’ll be defending your right to make your own choices, versus the choices themselves. Much more effective, and empowering too. And since someone is going to write in with this point, I shall preempt it: Shoving our choices in anyone’s face is a social infraction no matter who’s doing it. So, if you’re overdoing the I’M SO HEALTHY, to the point where people try to shield their plates from you so you won’t make an “ew” face at them, then dialing that back will be key to getting your critics to dial back their comments to you.

Dear Abby: Would you please remind your readers that people who have been through an awful divorce DO NOT want to hear anything about their ex? We don’t want to hear — again and again — how much better the ex did in the settlement than we did. We don’t want to hear that the ex was seen with his girlfriend the other day. I have a friend who tells me every time I speak with her how much better he made out in the settlement than I did. People also need to realize that even though the divorce was years ago, it still hurts. — Hurting In Massachusetts Dear Hurting: I’m passing along your message. However, when it first happened, you should have told the woman to drop the subject because it was hurtful. If you didn’t, please do that. But if you did say it and your request was disregarded, recognize that this person isn’t a “friend,” that she probably gets a kick out of causing you pain or aggravation, and you should avoid her. Dear Abby: I’m 17 and adopted. I have a wonderful new family, but a very dark past. I was beaten every day for seven years and was bulimic for five. The abuse finally ended when my stepfather went to jail for trying to murder my mother and me. I was bullied in school and went home to more abuse. Now, even though I’m out of the situation, I still get scared when people yell at me, or at school when someone raises their hands like they are about to hit me. Everyone tells me I need to “grow up,” but how am I supposed to do that when I’m still scared of my past? — Can’t Get Past It Dear Can’t Get Past RIP HAYWIRE

It: After the amount of trauma you have experienced, it may take help from a licensed mental health professional to get past what was done to you. If your family is unable to provide it, discuss this with a counselor at school and ask for help, because the counselor may be able to refer you to someone. Dear Abby: My adult son and his wife have had a dog for two years. I do not want a dog in my house, but I also don’t want to prevent them from visiting (they live six hours away). We have tried keeping “Puddles” in the basement, but she whined all night, and my son ended up sleeping on the basement floor with her. They think I’m going to give in because she’s so cute, but I don’t like little animals running, jumping and yapping. (OK, I’m high-strung, and holidays make it worse.) I’m the one who keeps the house nice, but I love my son. Any suggestions? — Particular In Ohio Dear Particular: Yes, your son should find a pet sitter or board Puddles for the time when he visits you. And if necessary, offer to pay for it. That way the poor animal won’t be isolated in unfamiliar surroundings and will have companionship, you’ll have peace of mind and your son will get a good night’s sleep. Universal Uclick

After West bid spades and diamonds, South got to four hearts. West cashed two diamonds and led a trump, and South drew trumps and took the A-K of clubs. He next led his deuce of spades to dummy’s queen and returned a spade: jack, king, ace. West was end-played. A diamond lead would concede a

After East couldn’t respond to one spade, West was going nowhere. His bid of two diamonds helped South play the hand. If West passes at his second turn, South will have options. He may play West for a hand such as A J 10 8 7, 8 3, A K 4, Q 8 2. Then South could succeed by drawing trumps, leading a spade to the queen, and running the trumps to catch West

Winfrey, ‘Selma’ director team on new series Oprah Winfrey and the director of the Oscar-nominated movie “Selma” are creating a drama series for Winfrey’s TV channel. The project from Winfrey and filmmaker Ava DuVernay is inspired by the Natalie Baszile novel “Queen Sugar,” the OWN channel said Monday. Winfrey will serve as executive producer and will play a recurring role, the network said. DuVernay will write, direct and executive produce the drama, her first TV series. “Selma,” which earned DuVernay a

best director nod at last month’s Golden Globe awards, is nominated for best picture and best song at the Feb. 22 Academy Awards. Production on Winfrey and DuVernay’s drama series is scheduled to begin later this year, OWN said. The contemporary series will follow a woman who leaves her affluent Los Angeles life to move with her teenage daughter to an inherited sugar came farm in the South. A debut date for the series was not announced. Associated Press

ava DuVernay, director of “selma,” and oprah Winfrey are creating a drama series for Winfrey’s tV channel.

‘Place to Call Home’ charms like Aussie ‘Downton’ “Downton Abbey,” now in the middle of its fifth season in the U.S., hits that sumptuous sweet spot for those who relish seeing how the Edwardian 1 percent coped with their luxuriant lives. Australia doesn’t want to be left out of this tea party, bringing the addictive, binge-worthy “A Place to Call Home” to the festivities. The first season, which aired in Australia in 2013, is now available for streaming in the U.S. through Acorn TV, a site devoted to British (and now Australian) television. The site offers a free month and costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year subsequently. The first-season DVD will be released in the U.S. on March 3, and the

second season will be available for streaming in April. A big, brawny blend of traditional Aussie soaps, melodramatic Hollywood films from the 1950s and high-toned British drama, “A Place to Call Home” is perfect for American “Downton” fans itching for their next TV fix. Unlike “Downton,” “Home” is set in the early 1950s, giving it a hint of the massive cultural shifts of the mid-20th century that were lurking around the corner. Yet, like its English counterparts, “A Place to Call Home” revolves around an aristocratic family, the Blighs. At the head is widowed grandmother Elizabeth (a fantastic Noni Hazlehurst) who runs her

New South Wales country estate/sheep ranch — Ash Park (derisively called “Cash Park” by one character) — like a well-heeled boot camp. Everyone bows to her wishes, including debonair middle-aged son George (Brett Climo), entitled grandson James (David Berry), giddy granddaughter Anna (Abby Earl) and James’ new British wife, Olivia (Arianwen ParkesLockwood), whom he met while attending university in England. Lives are turned upside down when nurse Sarah Adams (a riveting Marta Dusseldorp) arrives in town with the force of an Outback thunderstorm. Not only is “A Place to Call Home” an absorbing,

if sometimes sudsy, family drama, it’s also a peek into a time when Australia was Great Britain with a sunburn, with a largely Anglo-Irish population where the local Jews and Italians were seen as, if not threats, then certainly outsiders. In Australia, the series’ cancellation by the Seven broadcast network after the second season — it said production costs were too high — generated enough noisy fan outrage to induce the cable-TV Soho network to pick it up for two more seasons. Once Americans open the door to this “Home,” they likely will understand why. — Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Lohan, her mother sue Fox News for defamation Actress Lindsay Lohan and her mother have filed a lawsuit accusing Fox News, TV host Sean Hannity and guest commentator Michelle Fields of defamation for claiming the actress and her mother did cocaine together. Court papers filed Monday say the claim was made during a discussion of celebrity overdoses on Hannity’s show on Feb. 4, 2014, two days after actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a heroin overdose.

They’re also seeking unspecified damages. Fox News says it removed the clip from its archives and issued an on-air apology last year. The network says it will defend itself and was surprised the Lohans are now demanding compensation. Associated Press
