Two picks for ombudsman County Exec John Lovick has nominated a Democrat and a Republican as possible successors to John Koster. By Noah Haglund Herald Writer
EVERETT — A Democratic congressional staffer and a former Republican prosecuting
attorney are in the running to be Snohomish County’s next ombudsman. The first person to serve in the nonpartisan post, former County Councilman John Koster, got
passed over for reappointment in December. That left the job vacant as of Jan. 1. County Executive John Lovick has nominated two potential successors. The executive’s first choice is Jill McKinnie, an Everett-based staffer who handles constituent work for U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen. The second is James
Krider, who served two terms as the county’s prosecuting attorney, from 1995 through 2002. The council isn’t required to choose either one. But they do need to fill the job by the end of April. See PICKS, back page, this section
Aquatic center riding waves Snohomish’s $22.2 million facility is back on track financially

MARYSVILLE — Two weeks of camp are covered for Nattalie Anderson. The 11-year-old’s efforts to sell Camp Fire candy to pay for horse camp became public last month when a thief made off with her cash box outside a Mill Creek grocery store. Hundreds of dollars in donations have come in from the community, according to the Camp Fire coordinators. Nattalie’s still out selling though. It’s important to her to meet goals she set. That means beating her annual record of 1,311 boxes of candy. She also wants to use her donations to help other kids pay for camp, too. The south Everett sixth-grader’s favorite subject in school is math, and she wants to be a dolphin trainer. She’s a bit embarrassed about all the attention. “It’s a little awkward, I would say,” she said. “Not all this should be on me. They should still donate to the other kids too. We’re all working hard in the cold.” This will be Nattalie’s fifth year going to camp. The deal always has been that her family pays for one week and she earns a second week by selling candy at $5 a box. Now she’s working on a third week. She decided it only felt right to accept one week’s worth of camp through donations. She also wants to meet her sales goals to attend the celebrations held for top sellers. At camp, Nattalie likes spending the night with friends, plus walking and trotting with the horses, archery, swimming “and just having fun,” she said.

SNOHOMISH — The $22.2 million aquatic center here is on track financially, despite losing money during its first year of operations. That’s according to Kristin Foley, a spokeswoman for the Snohomish School District, which paid for construction of the Maple Avenue swimming complex with a 2008 bond. The 52,000-square-foot Snohomish Aquatic Center opened
in January 2014. It lost $87,665 from the time the district started paying for the full cost of operations in March to the end of the fiscal year in August. A full year of financial data is expected to become available in September. In general, pools are not profitable, Foley said. However, the district hopes to grow revenues and eventually break even on the aquatic center. It features a variety of attractions, including a competitive swimming pool, a recreational pool, a hot tub,

Lynnwood opened its $24.5 million recreation center in 2011. It has an indoor pool with waterslides, a lazy river, a hot tub and an aquatic playground. But it isn’t making money either.

LOS ANGELES — Sam Smith was the king of the Grammys, taking home three of the top four awards, including song and record of the year for “Stay With Me,” and best new artist, while Beck won album of the year. “I want to thank the man who this record is about ... Thank you so much for breaking my heart because I have four Grammys,” said Smith, who also won best pop vocal album for “In the Lonely Hour.” Smith, along with Beyonce, Pharrell and Ed Sheeran, lost album of the year to Beck’s “Morning Phase,” which also won best rock album. Kanye West, who famously interrupted Taylor Swift when she beat Beyonce at the MTV Video Music Awards, almost walked onstage when Prince announced Beck’s name. Some in the audience seemed shocked, from Pharrell to Questlove. Beck’s album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and sold about 300,000 units. Pharrell and Rosanne Cash walked away with three awards each. Pharrell won best pop solo performance for a live version of “Happy,” released in 2013. He also won best music video for the song and best urban contemporary album for “G I R L,” beating Beyonce. “I am going to moonwalk my way off the stage right now,” said Pharrell, wearing a blazer and shorts. Pharrell’s performance of “Happy” was dramatic with background dancers in black, musicians in yellow and a choir in white. When the chorus was

Monroe to hold hearings on pot businesses By Amy Nile Herald Writer
More than a dozen pot entrepreneurs in Snohomish County have decided against setting up shop until local governments enact permanent regulations for the emerging industry. Lawmakers in Everett, Monroe and
Snohomish County government are scheduled this week to discuss rules for local businesses seeking to operate under the Initiative 502, which regulates Washington’s recreational marijuana system. Jamie Curtismith is an advocate with a group of existing and would-be marijuana
businesses in some of the county’s rural areas. The operators banded together last year after pot opponents convinced local governments to add more regulations to the state rules. Now, Curtismith said, about half of group’s 36 business owners are at a standstill. They fear investing more time
and money into businesses that could be banned, she said. Many are having trouble finding an approved location because changes to zoning rules limit their options, she said. The city of Monroe is considering altering its zoning requirements to keep recreational marijuana retailers and growers
out of town. If approved, there would be only one place a statelicensed pot processor could locate in the city. The Monroe Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on the zoning rules for these businesses at 7 p.m. See POT, Page A4

Sequoia senior well-spoken Taylor Elliott wants to take her love of the English language abroad By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — Taylor Elliott, 18, is a senior at Sequoia High School, an alternative school in Everett. Question: Sequoia is a beautiful and historic building many people pass by and don’t even know about. Did you know about Sequoia? Answer: My brother came here a couple of years ago. He said he liked it, that it was really
different from normal high schools. He liked the teachers and said they were really nice. It was more relaxed than a regular high school. Q: I understand you hope to learn foreign languages and travel some day. A: I like learning new languages. I took French for two years and I like learning about different cultures. I like how smooth the French language sounds. Q: What are your plans for
next year? A: I’d like to go to a university, but if I don’t, I will go back to Everett Community College and transfer later. Q: You went to Everett Community College last year as part of Running Start, but you are not doing that this year. Why is that? A: It was really different. There is a lot more freedom in college than in high school. I kind of took advantage of that too much. Q: What kind of job do you
want after college? A: I want to be an English teacher. I want to teach internationally. I have always wanted to travel. To have that as part of the job would be awesome. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: I like to read and watch movies. I like to go on little adventures. I’ll go to Seattle and just explore.

Alert for vulnerable seniors proposed By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
front porch
OLYMPIA — An Oak Harbor lawmaker is trying again to require the Washington State Patrol to issue a special alert statewide when mentally impaired older adults go missing. Republican Sen. Barbara Bailey has re-introduced a bill to establish a Silver Alert system that would be activated when an adult diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s is reported missing. She envisions it operating in the same way as the existing Amber Alert system.
Senate Bill 5264 is awaiting action in the Senate Health Care Committee while a similar bill is under consideration in the House. At a hearing last week, Bailey said the tragic death of 89-yearold Ethel O’Neil of Lake Stevens inspired her to act. She read from a story in The Daily Herald chronicling how O’Neil, who was in the early stages of dementia, went missing July 16, 2014, and was found 28 days later in her car in blackberry bushes off a private road near Lake Stevens. She’d stopped twice to ask for directions . “It’s possible her life could

have been saved,” Bailey said. “We need a Silver Alert designation in this state. Our aging population needs this.” Patrick O’Neil, Ethel’s son, testified in the Feb. 3 hearing that while authorities contend the state’s existing missing person notification system works, it didn’t for his mother. Washington has the “Endangered Missing Person Advisory Plan” for people believed to be in danger because of age, health or mental or physical disability. When a person goes missing, the Washington State Patrol can issue alerts that get posted on highway reader boards and

to those who’ve signed up for alerts. In the hearing, a state patrol representative said that plan is established and hoped the Legislature wouldn’t require it to be overhauled. That didn’t please Bailey. “I get the feeling that you don’t want to do this, that you’re objecting to it,” Bailey said to Capt. Rob Huss, government and media relations for the state patrol. “Our EMPA provides tools to accomplish what you want to accomplish with this bill,” he responded, then added, “We can post whatever you want.” Jerry Cornfield: 360-352-8623; jcornfield@heraldnet.com.
The class, called The Streamkeeper, will cover the physical, biological and chemical characteristics of streams, how to organize community support to protect streams, and how to set and achieve long- and short-term goals. The presentation will be led by Tom Murdoch, the foundation’s executive director, and is appro-
Dave Maness of Arlington notes that a crosswalk doesn’t require paint on pavement — and this can lead to confusion on the part of many drivers. “It’s scary crossing the streets around here,” Maness said. He recalled in Marysville trying to cross at a T-intersection with no painted crosswalk after getting off at a bus stop there. “Some guy yelled, ‘Quit jaywalking!’ ” Maness said. “He didn’t know it was a crosswalk.” So if not paint, what exactly is a crosswalk? It’s a question that can even stump law enforcement, as I’ve discovered. State law defines a crosswalk in this wordy way: “The portion of the roadway between the intersection area and a prolongation or connection of the farthest sidewalk line or in the event there are no sidewalks then between the intersection area and a line ten feet therefrom, except as modified by a marked crosswalk.” You can find an even more wordy description in the Uniform Vehicle Code, if you enjoy torturing the plain English language. (Can I get an “ah yeah” from all the non-lawyers? Thank you.) Basically, if there’s an intersection and no signs prohibiting pedestrian crossings, then there’s a crosswalk, whether there’s paint or not (and whether it’s even a good idea for a human to attempt to interrupt massive hunks of metal traveling faster than a patas monkey). To put it another way: Take a sidewalk — or, if there’s no sidewalk, imagine where a sidewalk would be — and then mentally extend it across the road. Voila. Crosswalk. As a general rule of thumb, drivers should always yield to a pedestrian waiting to cross a road at an intersection, said J.C. Fawcett, administrator at Defensive Driving School of Everett. But as a hard and fast rule,

Monday at City Hall. The City Council wants to mandate a 1,000-foot buffer between marijuana businesses and churches, private parks and the Evergreen State Fairgrounds. That’s in addition to the state’s rule, which prohibits the businesses from locating within 1,000 feet of schools, daycares, playgrounds, recreation centers, public parks, transit stops, libraries and arcades that allow children. Monroe currently allows recreational marijuana production and processing in some industrial areas. Pot retailers are permitted in some commercial areas. Medical marijuana gardens and dispensaries are banned. After hearing public
comments Monday, the Planning Commission will make recommendations to the City Council, which is expected to take action on the matter in March. The marijuana issue has also become controversial outside the city limits. An anti-pot group known as the Concerned Citizens of Wagner Lake has voiced opposition at city and county public hearings. Another hotspot is the unincorporated Clearview area, where residents have mounted strong resistance to the increasing number of pot businesses. Their concerns prompted the Snohomish County Council to pass an emergency ordinance in October banning growers, processors and retailers in so-called R-5 zones — rural areas where the county typically permits one house per five acres, with some exceptions. The council enacted another measure
that prohibits medical marijuana businesses along a one-mile stretch of Highway 9 in Clearview. County council members have to enact permanent rules for pot operators by April 1, when the temporary ban expires. In the meantime, the council has asked the planning commission and county staff to come up with recommendations. The commission is suggesting that the county regulate marijuana growers and processors based on the state’s three-tiered system for different sizes of operations. The recommendation also addresses nuisances, such as noise and lighting. For medical marijuana, the commission suggests the council wait for the Legislature to enact regulations this session. The county planning department staff recommendations conflict with the commission’s suggestions.
The staff wants the council, for now, to ban medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens in the Clearview area as well as recreational marijuana shops in the five-acre rural zones. “We’re not saying it won’t be appropriate at some point in the future,” Planning Director Clay White said. The council has scheduled a meeting in its chambers at 3 p.m. on Monday to discuss the recommendations. It will not take action until after a public hearing this spring. Everett’s planning commission is also wrestling with the marijuana issue. A public workshop is set for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday at City Hall. Potential changes to the city’s interim regulations, which are expire July 12, will be discussed. Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; anile@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @AmyNileReports

Rosales described family medicine as a onestop-shop. Other providers have likened it to the old-fashioned, hometown family doctor who would see every member of the family — from newborns to elders — for pretty much any health concern or illness. When you have just
one doctor that you can stay with for your whole life, patients are able to develop a relationship with that provider. The doctor really gets to know you, your family, and your situation. They are able to build a long term understanding of a patient’s medical needs and tailor their treatment to each individual.

for them to manage each separate body system. I can help manage that altogether.” Of course, if specialists need to get involved with the patient, that happens. But the family medicine physician then coordinates that care so there is no confusion or disconnect for the patient. This is why family medicine practices are so handy for families. There’s no need to take the kids to a pediatrician and the adults to an internist and have a separate geriatric specialist for the grandparents. The whole family can go to the same place, see the same doctor and even schedule their appointments back-to-back. It can save a lot of time and confusion and sameday appointments are available. Rosales has a particular interest in female health and wellness. She has already received referrals in these areas. Patients are welcome to come to see her for their family planning needs or with questions. “I do IUDs and implantable contraceptives,” Rosales said. “And I can talk in depth about contraceptive practices and female health.” She is able to offer male circumcisions for newborns. This can be helpful as not all providers offer that procedure and it is frequently

estern Washington Medical Group’s Family Medicine Practice in Everett has welcomed a new physician. Dr. Adriana Rosales joined the practice last month and is now accepting new patients at the Silver Lake Medical Center location. Born into a military family, Rosales is a graduate of University of Houston and attended medical school at Texas A&M University. “I got a military scholarship and I did my residency in family medicine at the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, Calif.,” Rosales said. At the completion of her residency, Rosales was assigned to the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which was then stationed in Everett. Throughout her two deployments on the Lincoln, she made many friends and found she truly enjoyed the Pacific Northwest. Rosales was next stationed at Oak Harbor. After two more years, she decided to leave the military but not leave the area. That’s when she decided to join the family medicine practice in Everett. “It all had to do with personality,” Rosales explained. “I felt welcomed and there was such a good team environment — the providers are happy and the patients

Human error caused Guard helicopter crash in Idaho This Health Footpad is – ADVERTISEMENT –

Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho — Military investigators say human error caused an Idaho Army National Guard helicopter to crash during a November training mission near the Boise airport, leading to the death of two pilots on board. Col. Tim Marsano, a
Guard spokesman, said in a statement that the pilots were practicing flying the helicopter to safety on a single working engine. To simulate loss of power, they were supposed to momentarily slip one of the engine power control levers into the lock-out position, then pull it back, decreasing power to one of

the engines. But investigators concluded one or both of the pilots pushed both control levers into the lockout position and kept them there for too long, shutting down the engines. Marsano said they had three seconds to respond before impact, and that’s not enough time to restart the engines or otherwise recover.

Independent Party eager to be confirmed as newest big party Associated Press SALEM, Ore. — The Independent Party of Oregon said it wants the secretary of state to quickly certify the party, after it picked up enough members last month to qualify as a major political party. State law sets a midAugust deadline for Secretary of State Kate Brown to recognize a new major party, The Bulletin reported. Brown has asked for an opinion from Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum on how to move forward. Party officials said they hope she’ll do it soon so they can prepare for 2016 elections. The longer Brown
waits, they say, the less time the party has to get ready. “As long as our majorparty status has not been determined by the secretary of state, then anyone who is considering a candidacy in an Independent Party primary is sort of in limbo,” said Dan Meek, the party’s co-chair. The secretary of state’s office said it’s not every day a minor party becomes major and the process isn’t cut and dry. “We are looking into when is the correct time to conduct a formal recognition process,” said Brown’s spokesman, Tony Green. Waiting until August could hurt the party’s ability to attract serious candidates
Doctors are now recommending that we take nutritional supplements daily. The health benefits of doing so are overwhelming. Most people are not aware, however, that you can use supplements to pull harmful toxins OUT of your body. Toxins that are robbing you of your good health and that are also making you fatigued by stealing your energy.
because state law requires candidates in major-party primaries to be members of the party for 180 days before the filing deadline, or about eight months before the primary, Meek said. In testimony to the Legislature last week, Meek wrote that the eight-month requirement will be “a large barrier to participation by political novices who are not likely to plan to run more than eight months in advance of the primary election.” The party says it has about 108,870 members, giving it 5 percent of the state’s registered voters. That’s the threshold for becoming a major political party.
The pore structure in our feet allow toxins to be pulled out of our body and allow healing nutrients into our body.
That’s Right, You Can Remove Toxins Through Your Feet! In the last couple years, millions of people across the country have experienced, for the first time, the amazing, soothing and cleansing overnight effect of Detox Foot Pads. Detox foot pads are a true healing wonder that go far beyond removing toxins. In fact, they work so fast, throughout the whole body, and so effectively, that most people are shocked when they first use them.

yielding to pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks is more of a gray area in practice. Unless it’s a close call, “this is something that you’re seldom going to get ticketed for, even if a police officer is following you,” Fawcett said.
Marked crosswalks safer? Simply slapping down some white paint doesn’t necessarily make things clearer or safer, by the way. A federal study in 2005 found that painted crosswalks at otherwise uncontrolled intersections had no impact on the numbers of pedestrians struck — and on the busiest roads, they actually made things worse. Absolutely nothing would have been better. Now, throw in some other improvements along with that paint, such as a pedestrian “refuge island” in the middle of the road, and then things tend to improve. It’s all about instilling a sense of caution. No matter how many blinking lights and painted stripes there are, pedestrians and drivers alike should never assume the other party knows what they’re doing. “At the intersection itself, the vehicle should yield to the pedestrian,” Fawcett said. “I’ll be the first to tell you, many will not. And if you’re the pedestrian, you shouldn’t assume that they will stop.” It’s also worth noting that the only way a crosswalk can exist mid-block is by being marked. Vehicles
have the right-of-way otherwise.
How long to wait for a pedestrian OK, so now that we know all that, here’s another question. “My friends and I are confused about the state law regarding the responsibility of drivers when there are pedestrians in a crosswalk,” wrote Lynda Hughes of Edmonds. “How far do pedestrians have to be through the crosswalk before a driver can drive?” This was one has always stymied me, too. Much like the issue of painted and unpainted, there are two answers to this one. State law says that a driver should stay put while a pedestrian or bicycle “is upon or within one lane of the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning.” On a two-lane road, for example, that means waiting until the pedestrian is completely off the roadway. “As long as there’s a complete lane of separation ... then you can go through,” said Fawcett, the driving instructor. Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said it may be better safety practice to wait longer, though. “I would caution drivers to wait until the pedestrian is out of the intersection or at least two or three lanes away (if the roadway is that large),” Francis said. “Only because a driver has no idea if that pedestrian is going to stop quickly or run back across the roadway or make some other unanticipated movement.” Have a question?

Detox Foot Pads are all natural. No chemicals or drugs are used. Only healing ingredients that are designed to draw this unwanted toxic buildup out quickly and then replace it with nutrients that heal your body.

necessary coordination between the agencies there are no further details available at this time.” The sheriff’s office last week asked the public’s help in finding the pair. They feared for the girls’ safety. “To protect the privacy of the victims as they are minors and the integrity of the investigation, this is all that will be discussed at this time,” Rochon added.
In fact, the ancient art of foot reflexology is based on Japanese healing methods that date back six thousand years. Acupuncturists know this as well and treat patients for most of their health problems by starting with the feet. Different parts of the soles of our feet significantly affect the health of other areas of the body. This has been proven again and again by numerous medical studies carried out by world-renowned hospitals and universities. The soles of our feet also play an important role in our health by being at the lowest point in the body, where gravity collects harmful, health and energy-sapping toxins that have no way to come out. This toxic purging happens by gently stimulating the reflexology zones on the feet.

Plus, they are far easier to use than other popular cleansing methods that include fasting, and remedies that violently purge the digestive system.

EVERETT — Two missing Snohomish girls who left their homes last month have been found in Tacoma. Samantha Eldredge and Keyanna Monson, both 16, initially were reported home with their families on Sunday morning. However, the girls are instead at “a safe location where they will receive the support they need,” according
to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. They had been missing since Jan. 28 and were found as the result of a joint investigation involving the FBI, Tacoma police and the sheriff’s office, sheriff’s Lt. Rodney Rochon said. “The girls were located together. No arrests have been made,” he said in a prepared statement. “Due to the complexity of the investigation and

Plea to lawmakers: Make it easier to detain mentally ill By Martha Bellisle Associated Press
SEATTLE — When Joel Reuter lived in Arizona and suffered from several psychotic episodes, his father said he was civilly committed, received treatment and got better. But when he moved to Washington and began threatening his friends and acting erratically, the law did not allow his detention. As a result, Doug Reuter says, his son shot at police from his balcony in 2013 and was killed when they returned fire. Doug Reuter wants lawmakers to change the state’s civil commitment law to include people with “persistent or acute disabilities,” not just mentally ill people in the middle of a crisis. Lowering the threshold for civil commitments will get people treated sooner and House Bill 1451 aims to do that, he said. “You have to literally get to the point where they’re going to kill themselves or someone else to get them into help,” Doug Reuter said in an interview after testifying at a House committee hearing. “If you did that with cancer — waited until you hit Stage 4 before getting any treatment — the chances of saving you would be remote.” The bill is one of a half dozen measures being considered during the 2015 Legislative session that make changes to the Involuntary Treatment Act - the law that allows officials to hold someone against their will if they are a danger to themselves or others. But people working in the civil commitment system oppose attempts to change the law without first adding funds to the state’s mental health programs. A report by Mental Health America that ranked states based on whether mentally ill people had access to care placed Washington 48th. The lawyers working on these cases say the civil commitment court, held at Harborview Medical Center, is already overcrowded and caseworkers are overworked. The high volume shows that people are, in fact, being
I’m shocked that they’re even trying to add new grounds for detention. Adding new people to a system that’s already overwhelmed and underfunded will compound existing problems. — Mike De Felice, Harborview Medical Center civil commitment center supervisor
detained, they say. “I’m shocked that they’re even trying to add new grounds for detention,” said Mike De Felice, supervisor of the court’s public defense team. “Adding new people to a system that’s already overwhelmed and underfunded will compound existing problems.” The civil commitment court has seen a 58 percent increase in cases since 2008, he said. Hearings used to be held in one large courtroom, but as the caseloads increased, a small waiting room was turned into a second courtroom. Jim Vollendroff, head of King County mental health services, said he oversees 30 mental health professionals who do evaluations and decide when someone should be detained. “We would need to add new staff” if the bill passed, he said. Vollendoroff said he told lawmakers: “Give us the resources for proper placement and give us the resources to hire more DMHP staff, and we are on board.” Under existing law, people who pose a threat to themselves or others or are gravely disabled can be held for up to 72 hours. If a professional believes the person should be held longer, a judge can order another 14 days. A 90-day extension requires another court appearance. Besides failing to capture Joel Reuter, the law failed to help Chris Henderson, Gary Kennison told the House Judiciary Committee. Henderson had threatened suicide
and made threats against his wife, Sheena Henderson, also Kennison’s daughter, but “he did not meet the criteria for commitment and they let him go,” Kennison said. Chris Henderson killed his wife in July while she was at work at Deaconess Hospital in Spokane before fatally shooting himself. Kennison and Reuter testified in favor of HB 1451, modeled after Arizona’s law. It would expand civil commitment to include a person who has a “persistent or acute disability,” which is defined as a mental disorder that causes the person to suffer “severe and abnormal mental, emotional or physical harm that significantly impairs judgment, reason, behavior or capacity to recognize reality.” The measure being considered by the House Judiciary Committee. Its chairwoman, Rep. Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, has been hosting hearings on a package of bills that target the state’s civil commitment law. Another measure, House Bill 1258, entitled “Joel’s Law,” after Joel Reuter, would allow families and others to petition a judge for review if a designated mental health professional declines to detain a person. It has passed in the House and moved to the Senate on Feb. 2. Other bills would allow a less-restrictive option to hospitalization and require timely evaluations for people in crisis. Jinkins said Washington’s mental health system is broken, and the 2015 session is an opportunity to make improvements.

Obama's marks on economy improve
ACROSS THE U.S.
SpaceX calls off satellite launch
By Emily Swanson Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Americans’ views of President Barack Obama have improved slightly in the past two months, and opinions are more positive about the direction of the country and the health of the economy, an Associated PressGfK poll finds. A slim majority now approves of the way Obama is handling unemployment, according to the poll, conducted before Friday’s release of a surprisingly strong jobs report. Forty-seven percent of those surveyed approve of how Obama is doing his job, compared with 41 percent in December, and 51 percent approve of his handling of unemployment, compared with 44 percent before. Nearly half say the economy is good now, while 41 percent thought that in December. In December 2013, only one-third called the economy good. Approval of the way Obama is handling the economy improved slightly, 41 percent to 45 percent, over the past two months. Friday’s report showed that U.S. employers added 257,000 jobs in January, and hourly wages grew by 12 cents to $24.75, the biggest gain since September 2008. Hourly pay has increased 2.2 percent in the past year. “We’ve come a long way these past six years since we suffered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression,” Obama said Friday in Indianapolis. “In 2014, our economy created more than 3.1 million jobs, and that’s the best year of job growth since the 1990s,” adding that “America is poised for another good year.” Despite the increase in jobs, the unemployment rate rose to 5.7 percent from 5.6 percent, largely because more people began looking for jobs. An increase in the number of job hunters can indicate that people are more confident in their ability to find work, even if the official unemployment rate goes up. But people still feel that their own recovery is lagging, the poll shows, with only 35 percent saying their own family has completely or mostly recovered from economic downturn. Just 27 percent see the job market where they live as being most of the way to recovery, far less than the number that thinks big businesses (55 percent) and the stock market (53 percent) have bounced all the way back. People also fear the possibility of another downturn. Three-quarters say the government has not put the right rules and regulations in place to stop another recession from occurring.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush speaks at a Economic Club of Detroit meeting in Detroit on Feb. 4. The event was the first in a series of stops that Bush's team is calling his "Right to Rise" tour. That's also the name of the political action committee he formed in December 2014 to allow him to explore a presidential run.
Democrats begin to compare, contrast Effort to define Jeb Bush starts with Mitt Romney By Ken Thomas and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney opposed the government’s rescue of U.S. automakers. So did Jeb Bush. Both worked in finance and backed the Wall Street bailout. Both are advocates of tax cuts that Democrats contend only benefit the wealthy and big business. While the first actual votes of the next presidential campaign may be a year away, Democrats already are drawing such comparisons between the former Florida governor and the GOP’s 2012 White House nominee — and they don’t consider them flattering. Democrats are unwilling to let Bush define himself as a reformer who aims to close the gap between the rich and poor, so they are trying to paint him as this campaign’s Romney. The ex-Massachusetts governor struggled in 2012 against criticism related to his work in private equity and his portrayal by President Barack Obama’s allies as a cold-hearted plutocrat. “We don’t need to try to show that Jeb is like Romney. He pretty much is Romney,” said Eddie Vale, vice president of American Bridge 21st Century, a liberal group set up to conduct opposition research on Republicans. “When it comes to any ideas or policies, he’s the same as Romney.” That line of criticism was noticeable this past week after Bush gave his first major policy speech as a potential presidential candidate. His remarks to the Detroit Economic Club emphasized an
upbeat economic message and touched on overhauling the nation’s immigration system and trying to improve the lives of children underserved by public schools. Democrats countered by circulating the transcript of a 2012 interview in which Bush cited his opposition to the auto bailout. In the interview, Bush said the auto rescue, a key issue in Michigan, was “driven by politics” and he noted the Obama administration’s role in shuttering car dealerships and providing the United Auto Workers union with an equity stake in Chrysler. Obama’s team successfully used that bailout as a wedge against Romney in Michigan and Ohio, repeatedly referring to a 2008 Romney op-ed with the headline, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” Although Romney did not write the headline and advocated a managed bankruptcy for the industry, it created the impression that he was willing to forgo thousands of U.S. auto jobs. Bush’s early approach to his potential campaign signals a desire to avoid such pitfalls, as well as Romney’s most notable gaffe — his behind-closed-door dismissal of the “47 percent” of Americans who, he said, don’t pay income taxes. Lisa Wagner, Romney’s 2012 Midwest fundraising director, said that once voters meet Bush, “they see his head and his heart are connected” and they are “very, very taken” with his “sincerity.” During a question-andanswer session after the Detroit speech, Bush said losing his first bid for Florida governor in 1994 taught
him that winning campaigns requires building an emotional attachment with voters. When he won the job four years later, he said, he campaigned in places — from black churches to public schools in poor communities — where few expected a Republican to go for votes. That, Bush said, allowed him to “to connect on a human level with people, and offer ideas that are important to people, so that when they think of me they think I’m on their side and that I care about them. ... You’ve got to care for people before you get their vote. “That experience on a national scale has got to be part of a strategy,” he said. Democrats say that’s a hollow argument and they point to Bush’s record as governor, which included the eventual elimination of the state’s tax on financial assets. Democrats argue that primarily helped the wealthy. They also are eager to note how Bush, after leaving office, served on an advisory board for Lehman Brothers, a financial firm that collapsed in 2008 during the recession. They compare Bush’s work in private equity to Romney’s role at Bain Capital, which was criticized during the 2012 campaign for its leveraged buyouts of companies that in some cases led to job losses. “Bush may claim a monopoly on the ‘right to rise’ now, but his history is full of elevating only the select few while leaving everyone else behind,” said Democratic National Committee spokesman Ian Sams, citing the name of Bush’s campaign-in-waiting.
Peace in Ukraine goal of four-nation talks By Frank Jordans and Matthew Lee Associated Press
BERLIN — As Russianbacked separatists gain ground in eastern Ukraine, efforts to broker peace appeared to gain momentum Sunday, with leaders of Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine announcing plans for four-way talks this week. The proposed meeting Wednesday in the Belarusian capital of Minsk emerged from a phone call between German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The aim is to revive the
much-violated peace plan both sides agreed to in Minsk last September, and end a war that has now killed more than 5,300 people according to United Nations estimates. Although the United States won’t be at the negotiating table, a growing clamor in Washington to arm Ukraine will be on the minds of those present in Minsk. U.S. officials have said President Barack Obama is rethinking his previous opposition to sending weapons to Ukraine, despite fears of triggering a proxy war between Washington and Moscow. While senior diplomats from the four countries meet in Berlin to prepare for the summit, Merkel is expected to brief
U.S. officials in Washington on Monday during a previously scheduled trip. “It’s a fortuitous coincidence that Merkel is going to Washington and whatever she does, Obama will be informed,” said Volker Perthes, director of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. The threat of U.S. arms shipments won’t harm the talks, he added, although “if the diplomatic efforts fail then the option to ship arms becomes more likely.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was keen Sunday to dispel the notion of a trans-Atlantic rift, saying U.S. and its European allies are “united in our diplomacy” on
Ukraine. Speaking at an international security conference in Munich, he said the U.S. supports the efforts by France and Germany. “There is no division, there is no split,” Kerry said. “I keep hearing people trying to create one. We are united, we are working closely together.” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, speaking alongside Kerry, said he considers delivering weapons “not just highly risky but counterproductive.” But Republican Sen. John McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, insisted in Munich that “we must provide defensive arms to Ukraine.”
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The SpaceX company called off Sunday’s launch of a deep-space observatory. The countdown was halted at the 2 ½minute mark at Cape Canaveral, Florida, because of a problem with a rockettracking system. At the same time, SpaceX was dealing with a rocket issue. SpaceX had been aiming for a launch and landing within minutes of each other. The next try could come as early as Monday. The company’s main objective is to launch the government’s Deep Space Climate Observatory to monitor solar outbursts. The spacecraft is refashioned from the Earth-gazing satellite conceived in the late 1990s by then Vice President Al Gore. Gore was on hand for the launch attempt and said he was grateful to all those who kept his dream alive. A secondary goal is to attempt a landing of the leftover booster on an ocean platform. Last month’s effort failed.
Mass.: New winter storm Winter-weary New England, which has been battered recently by a series of major snowstorms, braced Sunday for even more, as schools and courts announced closures and drivers were warned to stay off roadways. Light snow was falling Sunday afternoon but the “long duration” storm was expected to intensify on Sunday night. The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for central New York, the western Catskills and much of New England through early Tuesday. All public schools in Boston would be closed Monday and Tuesday, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said Sunday afternoon, and the public was urged to stay off roadways until the storm passes.
Calif.: Progress on fire Fire crews increased containment of a wind-driven wildfire that destroyed 40 homes, but they said Sunday that they still didn’t know when residents evacuated from two small California towns at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada would be able to return home. Dozens of power poles have come down in the communities of Swall Meadows and Paradise, creating hazards for the roughly 250 residents who have been evacuated, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Capt. Liz Brown said. Crews were assessing trees in the two communities Sunday to ensure they wouldn’t come down. “We would love to shoot for today, but I don’t know,” Brown said of the prospect of lifting evacuation orders. “Once it’s open, it’s open. We don’t have the resources to escort people in and escort them out.”
Gas prices begin to spike The average price of a regular gallon of gas jumped 13 cents in the past two weeks to $2.20, ending a sustained drop. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that a rebound in the price of crude oil caused the run-up at the pump. However, the price is $1.10 below the mark a year ago, on Feb. 7, 2014. San Francisco continued to have the highestpriced gas in the Lower 48 states at $2.59 a gallon. The low average was in Tucson, Arizona, at $1.82. Lundberg said pump prices could climb as much as a dime in the near future, unless oil prices show significant declines.
AROUND THE WORLD Egypt: 25 die in soccer riot A riot broke out Sunday night outside of a major soccer game in Egypt, with a stampede and fighting between police and fans killing at least 25 people, authorities said. The riot, only three years after similar violence killed 74 people, began ahead of a match between Egyptian Premier League clubs Zamalek and ENPPI at Air Defense Stadium east of Cairo. Such attacks in the past have sparked days of violent protests pitting the country’s hard-core fans against police officers in a nation already on edge after years of revolt and turmoil.
Jordan: Airstrikes Jordan has launched 56 airstrikes against Islamic State group weapons depots, training centers and military barracks since militants released a video of them burning a Jordanian pilot to death, Jordan’s air force chief said Sunday. Meanwhile, a squadron of F-16 fighter jets from the United Arab Emirates arrived in Jordan. The UAE has said it is sending the warplane to support the kingdom, and a Jordanian government official has said they will participate in airstrikes on Islamic State group targets.

Why the gas tax isn’t keeping pace By Jennifer Sasseen For The Herald Business Journal
Lawmakers will soon be debating a new transportation package. As they do so, it’s worth looking at the existing gas tax. Once hailed as a hero for building a world-class system of roads throughout the country, the gas tax has fallen on hard times, unable to keep pace with a crumbling infrastructure that’s eroding faster than it can be fixed. “Since 1990, transportation construction costs have risen by 63 percent, meaning that a construction project that previously cost $50,000 would now cost over $80,000 to complete,” states a policy brief last year by the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy, a non-partisan research organization. A fixed-rate tax like Washington’s, which collects a specific number of cents on each gallon of gas sold, is “the most unsustainable type of gas tax,” the report states, largely because of increasing fuel efficiency and the ever-rising costs of construction. Thirty-two states have this type of fixed-rate gas tax. Washington’s 37.5 centsper-gallon gas tax is the ninth-highest in the nation, according to an analysis by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Yet Gov. Jay Inslee told a group of local government officials in September 2013 that an increase in the gas tax of perhaps 6 to 10 cents is needed to prevent more disasters like the May 2013 collapse of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River.
America’s poor bridges Information in the report supports Inslee’s concern: “According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, a quarter of America’s bridges are structurally deficient or obsolete, one-third of the nation’s major roads are in poor or mediocre condition, almost half of all major urban highways are congested and nearly half of all Americans lack access to bus or rail transit.” Despite these problems, the report says the gas tax is a vital funding source, accounting for
Washington residents pay 55 cents a gallon toward a gas tax that goes for roads and highways.

Gov. Jay Inslee says an increase in the gas tax of perhaps 6 to 10 cents is needed to prevent more disasters like the collapse of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River. about 30 percent of state-sourced highway funding. In Washington, that amount is lower and appears to be dropping — listed as 23 percent of the 2013-15 transportation budget’s projected revenue of $9.165 billion, compared to 32.5 percent of the $7.9 billion revenue in the 2011-13 budget. Gas taxes collected are projected to total $2.4 billion over the 2013-15 biennium, compared to $2.3 billion in 2011-13, according to the Legislature’s Joint Transportation Committee. The rest of the money in the 2013-15 biennial transportation budget comes from bonds (23 percent), federal funds (26 percent), vehicle license, permits and fees (12 percent), and other sources (16 percent). Washington residents actually pay 55.9 cents per gallon in taxes
at the pump, as the federal government levies 18.4 cents per gallon on top of the state’s 37.5 cents. According to WSDOT, the state’s 18th amendment dedicates the state’s gas tax to “highway purposes,” with the state getting about half the gas tax money to support WSDOT programs including the state ferry system, which is deemed a highway system by state constitution. The other half of the gas tax goes to cities, counties and other agencies for use on roads that are not part of the state highway system. Some of that money filters down in the form of grants for projects to ease congestion, primarily in cities, and some of the money is distributed directly, according to the committee. Cities get 2.96 cents, distributed based on population, for
construction, maintenance and policing of city streets. Counties get 4.92 cents, with 10 percent of that evenly distributed among counties, 30 percent by population, 30 percent based on annual road costs and 30 percent based on construction and maintenance needs.
Snohomish County money For Snohomish County, the gas tax amounts to roughly $9 million of its $100 million Public Works roads budget, said Scott Camp, manager of the county’s financial and accounting department. Payments are distributed to the county monthly, he said, so can vary. One-third of the money goes toward the county’s capital budget, for improvement projects and the like, one-third to preservation and maintenance
and one-third to traffic operations, such as planning and traffic signals. Paying off the bonds on past projects is another challenge the state faces. Camp said bonds are a common method of paying for transportation projects, yet the Joint Transportation Committee notes an increasing amount of debt consuming a larger and larger portion of the gas-tax pie. “The debt service peaks around 70 percent of total state gas tax revenues in 2018-20,” it predicts, leaving only 30 percent of the gas tax for new projects. Paying the state 37.5 cents per gallon at the pump may sound like a lot to motorists, especially considering the rate was 1 cent per gallon when Washington first imposed the tax in 1921, but the Institute of Taxation report says gas taxes have actually declined. “When viewed as a percentage of families’ household budgets,” the report states, “state gas taxes are lower than at any point since the widespread adoption of those taxes at the end of the 1920s.” Adjusted for construction costs, the rates “are a full 17 percent lower today than they were in 1990.” As for the federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, a report released July 2013 as a project of The George Washington University in Washington D.C., “Face the Facts USA”, notes that the federal gas tax rate hasn’t changed in 20 years, and claims that’s reduced the money for road repairs by 35 percent. “Americans pay far less in total gas taxes than any other industrialized country except Mexico, where gas is subsidized,” the report says, noting that Canada pays 80 cents per gallon, the U.K., $3.31 and Germany, $3.43. Still, increasing the gas tax is a tough sell. In the state of Washington, the last time the gas tax was increased was in 2008. Since 1990, counties have had the option, requiring voter approval, of instituting their own gas tax of up to 10 percent of the state gas tax. In 1994, with the gas tax at 23 cents per gallon, Snohomish County tried for a 2.3 cent tax, but the effort failed. To date, no county in the state has its own gas tax.

MUKILTEO — Free breakfasts on Fridays. A 37.5-hour work week. An occasional surprise cocktail party on the job. Benefit Solutions mixes it up for its 100 employees. “We work in an intense industry and it can be a dry industry — insurance,” said Shannon Jurdana, president and CEO, of the Mukilteo company. “We believe happier employees are more productive employees.” Her company won an award last week from the Association of Washington Businesses for the most innovative benefit/compensation program. It was one of several Better Workplace Awards given out by the association at a luncheon in Olympia. A panel of workplace benefits and safety managers reviewed the nominations for the awards from the 8,300 members of the association. Benefit Solutions’ efforts are aimed at improving morale, said Jurdana, who founded the company in 1993. “Our employees are our competitive advantage in the market

Jurdana said the company usually works with businesses with 100 employees or fewer that may not have their own human resource departments. Over 20 years, the company has had a 100 percent retention of clients, she said. And part of that has been the employees, including her first employee who

She said that means that employees arrive at 8:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. on most days. She said it’s been a close-knit company with employees often doing things together outside of work.

She said they make sure to offer healthy options. “I saw it as an opportunity for increasing communication,” Jurdana said. “Sometimes you can get really busy in your everyday life. This was a chance to bring everybody together in a social setting.” And that’s not the only socializing at the workplace. She said she also has held cocktail parties for her workers on the job. “I’ve had surprise gin and tonics on Fridays,” she said. “We monitor to make sure nobody overindulges.” She’s also brought in latte carts, ice cream trucks and masseuses to help her employees get through the work week. Her employees are invited to do what are called “walking meetings.” “We just encourage people rather than do their meetings inside to go outside into the fresh air and go for a walk,” Jurdana said. “We support their happiness and well being and health.” Benefit Solutions has also

She said it’s allowed people to communicate with each other better and also allowed the company to build high-functioning teams. She also started at the suggestion of an employee what’s called the “Wall of Fame” or the “Awesome Wall” in a high-foot traffic area where employees are encouraged to post messages of thanks, support and recognition of one another. “It’s shocking what a positive lift that has been,” Jurdana said.

Ban destructive studded tires calls for a $75 annual permit with a $75 fine. Joe Tortorelli, vice chairman of the Washington State Transportation Commission, told the Spokesman-Review he supports phasing out studs to save millions on highway and street maintenance. “I think it’s time,” he said. Actually, it’s well past time. The state Department of Transportation, the Transportation Commission and the Federal Highway Administration have for decades battled against the use of the tires. In 1971, the DOT was able to get the use of them restricted from Nov. 1 to April 1. That was about the last victory over studded tires in this state. A permit system, which Oregon is also considering,
may be a way to “phase out” the use of studded tires, but permits and fines are not enough to pay for the damage done by studs. The DOT estimates that studs cause $16 million worth of damage to Washington roads annually, though other published estimates range from $18 million to $27 million. The state has so many unmet transportation needs, it’s simply irresponsible to spend so much money fixing a preventable problem. What we need to do is follow the lead of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Utah and other states (that have much snowier winters than we do) that have banned studded tires altogether. That’s because modern snow and all-weather tires work better
— and are safer — than studded ones, without chewing up the roads. According to the DOT, studs provide some measure of improved stopping ability on untreated icy roads at or near freezing. But on a statewide average, such conditions exist just 1 percent of the time. On wet or dry pavement, studies show that cars with studded tires don’t stop as quickly because there’s less rubber in contact with the pavement. Phasing out studs just delays what we know needs to be done, with the added insanity that it costs us millions of dollars in road repairs every year as we do so. But if that’s the only route to actually reach a ban, then approve the phase-out bill(s).
category, almost the same percentage is demonstrably false. Out of that grouping, 26 percent were mostly false, and those tagged as “pants on fire” were 11 percent. Watching Fox News is actually more deleterious to your knowledge base because these data did not include statements made by candidates, government officials or their representatives and you know there are not many progressives in that mix. Everyone knows that Fox News is an arm of the Republican party. They spin the dickens in a positive direction for conservatives and in a negative direction for progressives. Almost everything Obama does is bad. Really!

Not every offer of a ride is ‘luring’ Regarding the Wednesday article, “Attempted luring reported on Camano”: A man offers to give a 13-year-old boy a ride to school; it is immediately called luring. The police are called, anyone with information is asked to dial 911 to help identify this person that would commit such a heinous act. What a sad sick society we are; why is it immediately assumed this person is a sexual predator? Is it inconceivable that this person who offered a boy a ride to school cold have possibly just wanted to help? I see old ladies, some not so old, from time to time walking along the road carrying bags of groceries, I want to help, I want to offer them a ride, but I don’t dare, due to the way our society has become. We are not even allowed to help one another anymore, how sad. Keith England Everett
■■MARRIAGE
Divorce statistics were inflated I just learned about a new book written by a Harvardtrained Wall Street analyst and social researcher. She was surprised by her extensive studies that disclosed that the figures we often hear about divorce, and have always been shocking to me, were wrong! We have been told again and again that the divorce rate is about 50 percent, and that this is true even among Christians, who are such strong advocates of marriage. Author Shaunti Feldhahn found that the divorce rate in America is not and has never been anywhere near 50 percent! She states that the rate has also been steadily declining since 1980. (Perhaps the amount of co-habitation has an affect on these figures.) In any case, the recent research reveals that 71 percent of women are still married to their first spouse. Widowhood reduces the remaining 29 percent to an approximate divorce rate of 25 percent. Further, with the help of research by the Barna Group, deepening the study of those claiming to be Christians, the reality is that “true Christians” actually have a divorce rate of about 22 percent. Hmm! Wonder who ever came up with the 50 percent figure, and who helped that figure become “fact”? Of course, there is no way to determine how many people try cohabitation, and then walk away from it; apparently a large number. Lastly, according to a Pew Research poll, barely half of Americans are currently married, only 51 percent of those over 18,

Analysis shows networks’ bias Regarding the letter about Fox News, “Be specific about lies, distortion”: You asked for documentation, you got it. There are too many lies to debate each one — so here is an independent analysis. In a recent Politifact study Fox News got the No. 1 rating for lies. MSNBC was a little more truthful — but keep in mind MSNBC doesn’t pretend to be a news network. The most accurate news network is CNN. I recently saw another study that proved those who watched none of the news networks tested more knowledgeable about world affairs than those who watch Fox News. Google it. According to Politifact data, with anything Fox says you will have a 58 percent chance of it being mostly false or worse; 39 percent will have some bases of fact.

War mongering is not our role Once again Charles Krauthammer thinks Obama is wrong not getting the U.S. more deeply involved in the Middle East. (Friday column, “Obama’s policy on Iran only benefits ISIS.”) Thank God his protege Mitt is safely at home hugging his money. How many wars would Mitt have had us in by now? Certainly Ukraine, Syria, Iran and let’s not forget North Korea. We wouldn’t be coming home from Afghanistan. And no need to pay for any of it if the last fellow from the party of fiscal responsibility is any guide. Don’t get me wrong; many Kurds are alive today because of our sacrifice. But the larger lesson of history is this: You can win but you can never go home. South Korea is the prime example.

Every year, sure as the snow falls, some sensible soul in Olympia will introduce a bill to ban the use of studded tires, those perennial wheels of destruction. And every year, as if suffering from agoraphobia, the common-sense bill goes nowhere. Apparently years of spinning their wheels on this issue has caused supporters to take another tack: Bills this year propose not banning studs, but phasing them out. Bills in both houses would require drivers to buy a permit each year to use studs, with the money helping repair roadway ruts.

Stalin killed for power, period In the Friday letter, “Atheists have killed over beliefs,” the writer asserts that because Stalin was an atheist he therefore committed his crimes in the name of atheism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Stalin killed millions in his pursuit of power and control of the populace. There is not one verifiable instance of him using atheism as justification for his actions. Yes, Stalin was an atheist. So was Pol Pot and Mao. And like Stalin they murdered in the pursuit of power, not for atheism. And this leads me to my second point. Most atheists and secularist are willing to admit when one our own has committed atrocities. I find it very telling that most religion people will not do the same. They always seem to pull out the “No True Scotsman” fallacy by saying that the person was never really followed the teaching. I find this very dishonest, especially when all evidence point to the contrary. If someone claims to be a part of a religion, I consider them part of that religion until proven otherwise. But we miss a bigger picture here in the assertion drawn by the author. It is the misunderstanding of what humanism is. She has obviously not had much interaction with humanists. Otherwise she would know that it is not a religion, but a way of viewing and interacting with the world. This idea that a stance that self-identifies as non-religious is still seen as a religion is laughable. A little education can go a long way. And I am talking about from an actual humanist, not Conservapedia or Fox News. Robert Ray President Humanists of North Puget Sound robertr@humanistsnps.org Granite Falls
White House locks up details of trade pact
T
he trade rules of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership between the United States and 11 Asian nations would cover nearly 40 percent of the world economy — but don’t ask what they are. Access to the text of the proposed deal is highly restricted. Nevertheless, at last month’s World Economic Forum in Switzerland, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman defended the Obama administraDAVID SIROTA tion from intensifying criticism of its refusal to Transparency release the full text of ... is better the proposed trade pact. than secretly “We can negotiating always do better on a trade deal transparthat ends ency,” he said, but up defying added that “there is no public will. area of policy where there is closer collaboration between the executive and Congress than trade policy.” Froman, who said his office has held more than 1,600 briefings with lawmakers over the TPP, asserted that his office also has released summaries of proposed provisions. Yet the actual text of the agreement remains under lock and key. That represents a significant break from the Bush administration, which in 2001 published the text of a proposed multinational trade agreement with Latin American nations. “It is incomprehensible to me that leaders of major corporate interests who stand to gain enormous financial benefits from this agreement are actively involved in the writing of the TPP, while at the same time, the elected officials of this country, representing the American people, have little or no knowledge of what’s in it,” wrote U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, in a letter to Froman last month. Sanders’ office confirms that congressional lawmakers are permitted to view the text of the agreement only in the Trade Representative’s office, without their own staff members or experts present. They are not allowed to take copies of the agreement back to Capitol Hill. Despite those restrictions, specific details of the agreement’s text have surfaced from unauthorized leaks — some of which appear to contradict the Obama administration’s promises. Froman, for instance, said that “none of [the trade participants] want to lower our health, safety or environmental standards,” yet one of the leaks showed the U.S. proposing to empower corporations to attempt to overturn domestic regulations, while critics say another leaked provision would help the pharmaceutical industry inflate the price of medicines in poor countries. Froman and Roberto Carvalho de Azevedo, the director-general of the World Trade Organization, were asked at the World Economic Forum why the Obama administration is concealing the TPP from the public at the same time the European Union has just published the full text of a separate proposed trade agreement with the United States. If, as the Obama administration has argued, some confidentiality is necessary for frank negotiations, was the EU wrong to publish its full proposal? Froman suggested that nations have varying definitions of transparency. “It is very important that as we pursue these trade negotiations we do so in a way that takes into account input from the public, from our wide range of stakeholders, our political processes — in our case, Congress — we each have different ways we engage in that process,” he said. Azevedo said: “Honestly, this is something that the participants have to solve — the degree of openness and the degree of transparency.” Negotiations require a degree of balance between transparency and secrecy, he said, “otherwise they don’t move.” That may be true, but the question is why? Why don’t trade deals advance when they are made public? Perhaps because when citizens learn the details of such trade agreements, they don’t like them — and they end up putting pressure on their leaders to back off. Trade officials seem to think that’s a bad thing. But transparency and subsequent grass-roots pressure is better than secretly negotiating a trade deal that ends up defying public will.

When necessary, the ombudsman can recommend efficiency improvements. Pay ranges from $91,000 to $128,000. When Lovick hired Koster in late 2013, it appeared to be a policy masterstroke: a liberal Democrat willing to recognize a conservative Republican for his superb grounding in local government and the community it’s supposed to serve. While on the job, Koster promised to shed the partisan identity he nurtured as a three-term county councilman and congressional candidate. Koster spent much of early 2014 drafting rules for

Interviews with the two nominees are likely to take place in March, said Marcia Isenberg, the council’s chief of staff. Lovick created the office in 2014. As a public advocate, the ombudsman’s job is to help people resolve problems they encounter while dealing with county government. Last year, the largest share of complaints involved land-use issues. Other issues included human services, taxes and the criminal justice system.
the new office and helping people affected by the Oso mudslide seek out assistance. Trouble came in October, after Koster agreed to let his name and the words “from the desk of John Koster” appear on a fundraising letter for the Freedom Foundation. The letter from the nonpartisan Olympia think tank attacked public sector unions and angered some union-represented county employees who received copies. The employees complained to county administrators. Koster apologized and sought to justify the letter as something he did on his own time, separate from his day job.

are facing tough decisions as operations costs eat up profits at most pools. The city of Everett considered closing the Forest Park Swim Center last spring but people wanted to keep the indoor pool open. That’s despite the increasing operations costs and dwindling attendance, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said. The pool, built in 1976, lost $392,453 in 2014, according to the city’s preliminary accounting. It lost $348,107 in 2013. Similarly, preliminary figures show the indoor pool at Recreation Pavilion in Mountlake Terrace lost $277,797 in 2014. The pool lost $217,114 in 2013. “It’s very unusual for any
GENNA MARTIN / HERALD FILE, JAN. 29
Camp Fire member Nattalie Lohnes-Anderson, 11, and her stepmother, Maria Anderson, were selling candy outside the Safeway on 128th Street last month when a man came up to the table and stole their cash box. Hundreds of dollars have poured in since then to support Nattalie and other campers.
Goals From Page A1
After word spread about the theft,.... one woman handed her a $100 bill, she said. At last count, roughly $300 had been donated through the Camp Fire office, candy sales coordinator Meagan Farrell said. Donors said they liked Nattalie’s spirit and enthusiasm. Many expressed disgust with the theft, which was reported to Mill Creek police. Several wanted to donate the same amount that was stolen, Farrell said. “People have just been amazing,” she said. “We’re getting tons of calls and emails from people who want to reach out to Nattalie and support her.” After school Wednesday, Nattalie and her stepmother, Maria
Anderson, set up their candy stand outside Albertsons at the Marysville mall. Wynona Garcia, 61, of Marysville, stopped to make a purchase. She sold candy with her daughter 30 years ago, “so I know how it is,” she said. Every donation was appreciated, and showed Nattalie, “there is more good than bad,” Anderson said. “She’s super excited ... but at the same time she has that pride of she wants to earn it,” Anderson said. “Even though camp is paid for, we will find a way to make sure their donations count, so other kids in the program can have the same opportunities that she has.” Nattalie is grateful to everyone who has helped, she said. “People came and bought candy, I am so thankful of that,” she said. “I want to say thank you.”
Lovick disagreed. The executive asked council members not to renew Koster’s appointment. Two county councilmen did support Koster during a Dec. 22 vote, but he needed three votes to keep the job. Just over a week later, the office was empty. “The applications started coming in soon after the council vote,” county spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. The executive’s office did not formally advertise the job, Hover said. The relatively short 30-day window the executive had to forward nominees to the council would have made that logistically difficult, she said. County code specifies
that the ombudsman be a person of recognized judgment with experience in law, administration or public policy. McKinnie has worked as Larsen’s district director since 2001. Most of her work experience for the two decades before that involved constituent, legislative and event-management work for other congressional Democrats. “I am a problem solver that respects the delicate balance between the legislative and executive branches of government,” she wrote in a cover letter. Krider served two terms as the county’s prosecuting attorney before losing re-election in 2002. He has
since voluntarily resigned from the practice of law. The Washington State Bar Association provides no additional information. Krider could not be reached Friday. “During my terms as Snohomish County prosecuting attorney, I formed many partnerships with the officials of both the Democratic and Republican parties,” Krider said in the cover letter for his application. Since leaving public office, Krider reports doing consulting work for companies as well as traveling the U.S. and Europe. Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ NWhaglund.
kind of recreation program to recover all of their costs,” said Mountlake Terrace Finance Director Sonja Springer. Outdoor pools in Snohomish County fare better but still don’t bring in much money. Edmonds’ Yost Park pool turned a small profit last year, its first since the pool was built in 1974. It made $4,738. Edmonds Parks Director Carrie Hite said the seasonal pool usually loses about $25,000 a year. A new agreement with the YMCA last year saved the city about $20,000 by covering staff costs for lifeguards and swim instructors, she said. In recent years, the outdoor pool at McCollum Park in south Everett has also seen a small surplus, said County Parks Director Tom Teigen. The 1970 pool made a profit of about $3,000 in 2014. Teigen said shortening the swim season has
helped increase revenue. Instead of losing money by opening in early-June, the county now waits until the weather warms up later in the month. Before the county moved to the 12-week season, the pool typically recovered about 90 percent of its costs, Teigen said. Unlike most of the other pools in the area, the Snohomish Aquatic Center has several recreational offerings, which means more ways of recovering operating costs, manager Chris Bensen said. The open swim sessions have helped drive revenue with the pools filling up on weekends, she said. Water fitness classes and swim lessons also are bringing in money. The Flowrider, a machine that simulates surfing, also has been a hit. Bensen changed the schedule so people didn’t have to wait if
they wanted to pay for two surf sessions during one visit. The district is counting on the aquatic center to bring in at least $1.36 million in revenue during the 2014-2015 fiscal year. Despite its growing popularity, it is expected to lose money with expenses at about $1.6 million. Staff costs make up the lion’s share of expenses. The district has budgeted $1.14 million to pay for annual staffing. Heat, electricity, insurance, chemicals and supplies are expected to cost another $315,200. If the aquatic center starts to turn a profit, the money will be funneled back to the school district. Losses come out of the district’s general fund. “That’s why it’s so important to keep that gap small,” Bensen said. Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; .... anile@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @AmyNileReports.
Supplements industry derides DNA tests By Mary Esch Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — DNA barcoding has exposed some infamous cases of food fraud, like cheap catfish sold as pricey grouper and expensive “sheep’s milk” cheese that was really made from cow’s milk. But can it tell if a pill touted as an energybooster contains ginseng or is just a mix of rice powder and pine? Some scientists say yes, while industry groups and some independent experts say DNA testing alone is inadequate for analyzing botanical products that

have gone through a lot of processing from leaf to tablet. About 65,000 dietary supplements are on the market, consumed by more than 150 million Americans, according to a 2013 Canadian government study. The American Botanical Council estimates U.S. sales of herbal supplements came to $6 billion that year. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires companies to verify their products are safe and properly labeled, but supplements are exempt from the FDA’s strict approval process for

prescription drugs. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says lax oversight of supplements can have serious public health consequences, noting a 2013 hepatitis outbreak traced to a tainted diet supplement and the death of a baby at a Connecticut hospital after doctors gave the child a probiotic supplement later found to be contaminated with yeast. Last week, Schneiderman ordered Wal-Mart, Walgreen’s, Target and GNC to stop selling storebrand herbal supplements that DNA tests found questionable. Schneiderman’s action followed a Clarkson University study he commissioned and he also referenced a 2013 study published by University of Guelph researchers. The Clarkson study tested hundreds of bottles of store-brand herbal supplements sold as treatments for everything from memory loss to prostate trouble, and found 4 out of 5 contained none of the herbs listed on the labels. At the University of Guelph, researchers used DNA fingerprinting to find that a third of 44 supplements tested contained no trace of the plant on

the label. But the dietary supplement industry takes issue with DNA testing and some consumer advocacy groups say the method by itself is inadequate because it cannot detect the most serious problems with supplements — contamination with heavy metals or chemical adulterants. “There’s no problem with DNA barcoding as a science; however, it should be used appropriately. It has limitations,” said Nandakumara Sarma, director of dietary supplements for US Pharmacopeia, which sets quality standards and testing protocols for drugs, vitamins and supplements. The United Natural Products Alliance, a trade group, says it is sending people out around the country to buy large quantities of the supplements cited by Schneiderman and submit the bottles, unopened, to five or six certified botanical testing labs for analysis. “They will perform universally accepted methods and procedures to test the products and will independently report their findings, which will be made public,” said Loren Israelsen, the group’s president. “We feel the most appropriate response to bad science is good science.” The American Botanical Council, a nonprofit research and education organization based in Austin, Texas, was particularly critical of the Guelph study. “We raised the question if any of these products are extracts, and if so, what other analytical technologies were used to help ensure the validity of the results obtained by DNA testing,” said Mark Blumenthal, the council’s founder and director. “DNA testing seldom is able to properly identify chemically complex herbal extracts, because often DNA doesn’t get through the extraction process,” Blumenthal said. He said at least some of the products cited by Schneiderman are likely made from extracts, which can be validated by other common lab tests.

He realized he would not be able to return to construction work after he was discharged so he enrolled in the energy management program at Edmonds CC. He later learned he also suffered from the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. “Rather than focus on my injuries, I sought the help I needed and looked for opportunities to lead and make a difference,” said Curtis, who served in leadership roles in student associations and

LIVING WITH CHILDREN
Parents need to rethink ‘pitiful’ curfew By John Rosemond Tribune News Service
Q: My twin boys just turned 13 and are demanding — that is the right word — later curfews. They tell us that their curfew, which is 8:30 on nights when there is no school the next day, is “pitiful.” We live in an area where there’s nothing for kids that age to do in the evenings but hang out in small groups or go to one another’s houses and watch television or play video games. I don’t especially want my kids doing any of that. We don’t have a video game console and don’t watch much television at all. And in our estimation, just hanging out is a prelude to trouble. We’ve told our boys that we will consider increasing their curfew until 9 p.m. when they turn 15, but that’s even more pitiful, according to them. They’re both good kids, by the way. We want to keep it that way. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. A: I doubt I’m going to give advice that you greatly appreciate, because I tend to agree with your boys. Seven-year-olds compare bedtimes; teens compare curfews.
A teenager’s curfew is not simply a matter of freedom, it’s also a marker of how cool one’s parents are, and having cool parents is, well, cool. Eight-thirty on nonschool nights for admittedly good 13-year-old kids doesn’t amount to much freedom, and it certainly speaks to very uncool parents. You might say you don’t care if you’re cool or not, and you may even scoff at the idea, but if the truth were known, you should want to be cool. Teens gravitate toward cool parents. They open up to and confide in them. They seek advice from cool parents. Being cool affords parents the privilege of having a better sense of what’s going on in a group of teens. Cool parents enjoy a huge advantage. I’m not talking about letting teens do things they shouldn’t do, such as letting them consume alcohol. That’s not cool. That’s stupid and irresponsible. I’m talking about being perceived as an adult who’s approachable, who understands, and who, therefore, one can talk to. Take it from me (my wife and I were very cool when our kids were teens), you want that.

The trick to successfully negotiating the teen years is to recognize and accommodate to the greatest degree possible a teen’s overarching desire for freedom while managing issues such that the teen is motivated to behave responsibly. Many parents seem to think that the way to avoid problems during the teen years involves a combination of a short leash and saying “no” at least five times a day. That approach, while well-intentioned, is a recipe for rebellion. I’d say you’re running that risk with your boys. My advice is that you bump their curfew on non-school nights to 9 p.m. with the understanding that if they don’t violate that curfew for six months, it will increase to 9:30. From that point, their curfew will increase by 30 minutes at the end of every violation-free six-month period. However, if even one of them violates the current curfew, the six months at that time begins over again the next day. The “one of you equals both of you” rule forces them to police each other. I wish you a successful journey to being cool.

Woman still nursing wound of breakup Dear Abby: I recently found out my ex-boyfriend married the girl he cheated on me with, and they have had a baby. I didn’t think it would affect me because it has been nine years since our breakup, but I feel devastated and sad all over again. I constantly wonder why he was blessed with the happy ending I was wishing for. I ask myself why I haven’t met anyone worthwhile. I am scared to go through the hurt and pain again, so I put on a smiling face for everyone. I want to forget this miserable relationship and be happy. What can I do to move on with my life? — Lost In New Jersey Dear Lost: That’s a good question, and I’m glad you asked because it means you may finally be ready to do it. One way to move forward would be to keep busy so you won’t brood. Make an effort to meet new people, because the saying “no risk, no reward” is true. If you have saved any mementos of your relationship with your ex-boyfriend, box them up and put them away — or get rid of them entirely because this chapter of your life is finished. I can’t guarantee this will bring you another romance, but it will be a step in the right direction. Dear Abby: My mother is a certified nursing assistant for hospice and loves her work. She has been assisting the terminally ill for 16 years. I’m writing because lately she has become insistent that my brother and I complete our wills, medical directives, powers of RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY attorney, etc. My brother and I are in our late 20s and in excellent health. While I do agree that Mom’s advice is prudent, I have the impression that she views this issue — and our family — through the lens of her negative work experiences. Is there an appropriate time and place to discuss this matter? — Looking Way Ahead In Chicago Dear Looking: Absolutely. How about tonight at the dinner table? The time to have these discussions — and put your thoughts in writing — is while you are healthy and thinking clearly. While I agree that what may be driving your mother are things she sees at work every day, the reality is that illness and tragedy can strike people of all ages at any time. It’s important that family members hear what a person wants — or doesn’t want — should a situation arise in which that person is unable to speak for himor herself. And it’s equally important for you and your brother to hear what your mother’s wishes are if you don’t already know. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Activists call for boycott of ‘Shades’ movie ... ‘Prairie Home’
fan excited about subbing for Keillor
Some anti-domestic violence activists and anti-pornography activists, including Antipornography. org, the London Abused Women’s Centre in Ontario, Canada, and the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan, are calling for a boycott of the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey,” arguing that it promotes violence against women. They’ve rallied around 50dollarsnot50shades and FiftyShadesIsAbuse, and are pushing the idea that people should donate $50 to women’s shelters instead of buying tickets for the movie. Even Jamie Dornan, the actor who plays Christian Grey - the dominant character who introduces Anastasia Steele to his Red Room (that’s what he calls his den of iniquity)
— expressed discomfort with “Fifty Shades.” “Some of the Red Room stuff was uncomfortable,” Dornan said in an interview with Glamour about scenes with co-star Dakota Johnson. “There were times when Dakota was not wearing much, and I had to do stuff to her that I’d never choose to do to a woman.” There’s a lot to unpack here because the coalition of parties opposed to this film is vast and their reasons for wanting to boycott can hardly be quantified as homogeneous. “The idea of not supporting the movie 50 Shades of Grey is great but supporting these anti-sex work organizations is not,” wrote artist Creatrix Tiara, referring to Stop Porn Culture and Pornography Harms, two organizations that have also condemned the movie.
There are anti-porn and anti-BDSM (bondage, domination, sadism and masochism) activists who refuse to draw distinctions between physical abuse and consensual BDSM play. There are those who are fine with BDSM, but who think the specific relationship depicted between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey is abusive. And there are others who are horrified either by author E.L. James’s writing
or her apparent lack of knowledge about BDSM and who think the book and the movie represent an irresponsible and inaccurate depiction of BDSM. Grey’s predilection for BDSM is “explained” by his abusive childhood, which makes it seem like people who engage in BDSM play only do so because they’re somehow damaged. People in the BDSM community argue that’s not the case. — The Washington Post
It doesn’t open in until Friday, but already the Bible Belt is snatching up tickets to see “Fifty Shades of Grey,” according to Fandango. The online ticket seller also has analyzed its advance sales data and
released a list of the top 10 states “where ‘Fifty Shades’ pre-sales are much larger than expected:” 1. Mississippi 2. Arkansas 3.West Virginia 4. Kentucky
5.Alabama 6. Louisiana 7. North Dakota 8. South Carolina 9. Iowa 10. Tennessee. In 2013 Gallup rated first-place Mississippi
the most religious and second-most conservative state in the nation. Fifthplace Alabama is the most Republican state, according to rankings the Hill released in October. — Bloomberg News

MINNEAPOLIS — Mandolinist Chris Thile of the band Punch Brothers says hosting “A Prairie Home Companion” is like “getting to be Luke Skywalker.” Thile substituted for “Prairie Home” host and creator Garrison Keillor on the public radio show Saturday and will do so again Feb. 14 from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. “It’s an incredible honor. It’s a bone-chilling honor, like, a blood-curdling one,” Thile, 33, told The Associated Press on Thursday, comparing it to trading shoes with the “Star Wars” protagonist. A longtime “Prairie Home” fan, Thile was 15 when he made his first appearance on the show in 1996. He estimates he’s made 14 or 15 visits total. His Nickel Creek bandmate, singer and fiddler Sara Watkins, hosted in 2011. Thile said Keillor told him to “just talk to the people. People love to be talked to.” Keillor, 72, is on a West

The sale will be made without warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances on 2/20/15. The defaults referred to in paragraph 3 must be cured by 2/9/15 (11 days before the sale date), to cause a discontinuance of the sale.

The sale may be terminated any time after 2/9/15 (11 days before the sale date), and before the sale by the Borrower, Grantor, any Guarantor, or the holder of any recorded junior lien or encumbrance paying the entire principal and interest secured by the Deed of Trust, plus costs, fees and advances, if any, made pursuant to the terms of the obligation and/or Deed of Trust, and curing all other defaults. 6.

College basketball Dean Smith, the North Carolina basketball coaching great who won two national championships, dies at the age of 83. C2

Ex-Everett Giants manager Bridges dies Rocky Bridges, who managed the Everett Giants in 1984 and was one of baseball’s most colorful and funniest characters, died at the age of 87. By Matt Schudel The Washington Post
Noah Juulsen found himself with space at the point. He stick handled his way toward goal and shot, and in the ensuing scrum Stadnyk lifted a backhander over Portland goaltender Adin Hill and into the net to win it for Everett. “I saw Juulsen come in and make a dangle past one of the defensemen and I had no idea what he was doing,” Stadnyk recalled. “He shot it at me, it just came down and I just turned around and backhanded it, and luckily it went in. I’ll take it.” Carter Hart earned the win in goal for Everett (34-16-3-1) with a solid performance, making 30 saves. Oliver Bjorkstrand, Paul Bittner and Chase De Leo scored for Portland (31-20-1-3), which never gave up. The Winterhawks rallied to tie the score after falling behind 2-0. Then after Everett went ahead again in the third
Rocky Bridges, a journeyman infielder for seven major-league teams, including the Washington Senators, who was one of baseball’s all-time great characters, with a quip for every occasion, died Jan. 28 at a hospice in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He was 87. Bridges managed the Everett Giants in 1984. Bridges led the Giants to a 36-38 record and a fifth-place finish in the Northwest League. Feisty, glib and hardworking, Bridges was a utility player who warmed benches for most of his career. But he also became renowned, as Sports Illustrated noted in 1964, as “one of the best stand-up comics in the history of baseball.” He made his big-league debut in 1951 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, backing up Hall of Fame infielders Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. He then played (or, mostly, sat) for four years in Cincinnati — “It took me that long to learn how to spell it” — before arriving in Washington in 1957. As the starting shortstop for a last-place team, Bridges managed to become the Senators’ lone member of the American League’s All Star team in 1958. “That surprised everybody,” he later said. “They were close to launching an investigation.” In his 11 years in the major leagues, from 1951 to 1961, Bridges had a pedestrian batting average of .247, with 16 home runs. He assessed his place in the sport in 1959, after being traded to the Detroit Tigers: “I’m in the twilight of a mediocre career.” He stood a squat 5 feet 8 inches, took the field with a huge chaw of tobacco stuffed in his cheek and made the most of his limited skills. He won a loyal following among the fans. “Rocky Bridges undoubtedly has been one of the most popular men ever to wear the Washington uniform,” Washington Post sports columnist Bob Addie wrote in 1958. “He’s an example of what ‘hustle,’ ‘desire,’ and ‘spirit’ will do.” Bridges was hitting .300 during

Tips win in overtime Silvertips’ Stadnyk scores game-winner as Everett beats Portland 4-3 By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
EVERETT — If Sunday’s game was an indication, the race for the WHL’s U.S. Division title should be one heck of a ride. The top two teams in the division put on a show Sunday, and the Everett Silvertips reaffirmed their credentials as potential usurpers as they defeated the Portland Winterhawks 4-3 in an overtime thriller at Xfinity Arena. Carson Stadnyk capped off a masterful performance by scoring the game winner 1 minute, 34 seconds into OT as Everett stated its case for ending Portland’s reign atop the division. “This is a big win for our group, an emotional win,” said Everett captain Kohl Bauml, who found the net twice. “Coming off a three-in-three, a see-saw game, having leads and losing leads, it was a hard-fought battle and I had a lot of fun playing it.” The Saskatoon Platoon line

Bennett’s police bike raises $10,000 for charity Herald news services SEATTLE — The police bicycle that Seattle Seahawks player Michael Bennett rode to celebrate the team’s NFC championship game victory has been auctioned off for charity. KOMO-TV reported the Seattle Police Department bicycle fetched $10,000 during a benefit for the Seattle Police Foundation on Saturday. The defensive lineman jumped on the borrowed bike and took a victory lap inside CenturyLink Field following the Seahawks’ 28-22 overtime win over the Green Bay Packers on Jan. 18. The victory sent the Seahawks on to the Super Bowl, where Seattle lost 28-24 to the New England Patriots on Feb. 1. “I took it from the cop and just rode it around the stadium,” Bennett said after the game. “I bike all the time. I’m a real biker. I’ve got three bikes at my house, so I was just having fun. “Best bike ride I’ve ever had.” Proceeds from the bike’s sale will benefit Bennett’s work to fight childhood obesity and the Seattle Police Foundation’s efforts to fight domestic violence and child exploitation. Seattle Police Sgt. Tony Baily, who let Bennett borrow the bike, says it was amazing moment. He recalled telling Bennett that he needed the bike back once the player was done with it.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — As Lorenzo Romar answered for his team’s fifth consecutive loss, a more jovial conversation, no more than a few dozen feet away, filled the hallway in the basement of Gill Coliseum. Gary Payton’s voice is unmistakable, and there he was on Sunday afternoon, laughing and chatting and laughing some more with a group of Oregon State Beavers supporters outside the team’s locker room. The former Seattle SuperSonics legend had just watched his son, Gary Payton II, revel in the atmosphere of a victory played before an adoring home crowd. After nearly a quarter-century of mediocrity and misery, they’re enjoying a sort of basketball renaissance here, and Payton II is perhaps the most essential part of it. The junior guard scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed five steals to help fuel Oregon State’s 64-50 victory over the Washington Huskies on Sunday afternoon. The victory improved the Beavers’ home record to 14-0 — they’re 16-7 overall and 7-4 See UW, Page C2

Day wins 4-man playoff to grab Farmers Insurance Open Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Jason Day won a four-man playoff Sunday in the Farmers Insurance Open with a par on the second extra hole at tough Torrey Pines. Day only made the playoff by a couple of feet. His chip from behind the par-5 18th green in regulation came out hot and was headed down the hill for the water when it stopped at the yellow hazard line. He made par for a 2-under 70. J.B. Holmes chose to lay up on the 18th and made par for a 72. They were joined in the playoff by Scott Stallings (69) and Harris English, who birdied the last hole for a 72.

Young leads Ducks by Cougs Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. — Joseph Young just missed a triple double with 29 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as Oregon spoiled the return of former coach Ernie Kent with a 95-72 victory over Washington State on Sunday. Dwayne Benjamin added 25 points for Oregon (17-7, 7-4 Pac-12), which raced to a 52-28 halftime lead on the way to its fifth win in its last six games. Benjamin finished 10 of 11 from the field and was perfect
on three 3-point attempts. He started in place of leading rebounder Jordan Bell, who served his one-game suspension due an incident that took place on campus earlier this week. Dexter Kernick-Drew led the Cougars (10-13, 4-7) with 18 points off the bench. Josh Hawkinson added 14 and DaVonte Lacy had 13. Oregon’s lead ballooned to a high of 32 on the strength of 11 points by Benjamin in the first 31⁄2 minutes of the second half. The victory avenged the
Ducks’ 108-99 overtime loss to Washington State in Pullman last month. It also ruined the homecoming for WSU coach Kent, who was coaching for the first time in 4-year-old Matthew Knight Arena after being fired by Oregon in 2010 after 13 seasons in McArthur Court, then the nation’s oldest on-campus basketball facility. Young made three of Oregon’s 11 3-pointers, but he also had four three-point plays the old-fashioned way — and a soaring dunk for good measure.

Legendary North Carolina coach Smith dies at age of 83 By Chip Alexander The News & Observer
Former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith, who had a Hall of Fame career, was beloved by his players and became one of the nation’s most revered sports figures, died Saturday evening in Chapel Hill, N.C., according to a statement released by the university. Smith, who had been in declining health the past few years, was 83. “Coach Dean Smith passed away peacefully the evening of February 7 at his home in Chapel Hill, and surrounded by his wife and five children,” the Smith family said in a statement. “We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers, and appreciate the continued respect for our privacy as arrangements are made available to the public. Thank you.” Smith retired in October 1997 as the winningest men’s coach in NCAA Division I history, having passed former Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp. That distinction now is held by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who remembered Smith on Sunday as a coach, teacher and role model for this players. “I am incredibly saddened

in Pac-12 play — and they did it in a warm gym filled with 9,114 people. The Huskies (14-9, 3-8 in Pac12) responded by filling it with turnovers, smothered by OSU’s relentless, attacking defense. They committed 22 total, 13 during a dismal first half that yielded a 21-18 halftime deficit, and their inability to control the ball ultimately extinguished any hope they had of becoming the first visiting team to win here this season. This was a group effort, though it’s probably particularly disappointing for UW that its two co-captains, guards Nigel Williams-Goss and Andrew Andrews, combined to lose the ball 11 times. “They do a good job in their defense, but at the same time, there were too many unforced turnovers that just didn’t make sense on our end,” Romar said. “And you can’t continue to do that when you’re playing against
to hear of the passing of coach Dean Smith.” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “We have lost a man who cannot be replaced. He was one of a kind and the sport of basketball lost one of its true pillars. “Dean possessed one of the greatest basketball minds, and was a magnificent teacher and tactician. While building an elite program at North Carolina, he was clearly ahead of his time in dealing with social issues. However, his greatest gift was his unique ability to teach what it takes to become a good man. That was easy for him to do because he was a great man himself. “All of his players benefited greatly from his basketball teachings, but even more from his ability to help mold men of integrity, honor and purpose. Those teachings, specifically, will live forever in those he touched.” Smith had suffered in recent years from what his family said was a neurocognitive disorder that affected his memory. It was a degenerative condition and it saddened all who knew him, who knew of Smith’s legendary recall, of his ability to remember names and discuss moments and details long forgotten by others.
a team that’s undefeated at home, and plays the deliberate pace that they play. It’s going to catch up with you.” For a while, UW went unpunished for its sloppiness. The Huskies trailed by only three points at halftime despite a nearly 12-minute stretch without a field goal to begin the game, and they committed nearly three times as many turnovers (13) as they made field goals (5) in the first half. It was their defense that kept the Huskies in it. OSU committed 11 turnovers before halftime and finished with 16. But once the second half started, UW watched as Payton II and guard Malcolm Duvivier (14 points) maneuvered their way around the Huskies’ guards for a series of layups. The Beavers outscored the Huskies 40-24 in the paint, and shot 55.6 percent from the field in the second half. “By cutting harder, screening harder, I think we wore on them over the course of the game,” first-year OSU coach Wayne Tinkle said. So their lead swelled to 35-24 a little more than six minutes
Adored by North Carolina fans, Smith never seemed comfortable with that adoration. He could be a modest man, speaking softly, his eyes always reading you, deflecting praise. But at courtside, during basketball games, Smith’s competitive fire always burned brightly, if just below the surface. He was determined to beat you, and so often did. In 1961, UNC needed a coach who could change the course and improve the image of a once-glowing basketball program that had darkened under the specter of a pointshaving scandal and NCAA investigation. Smith, a little known 30-yearold Tar Heels assistant chosen amid howls of protest from fans wanting a high-profile replacement for Frank McGuire, came to the rescue. Smith established “The System” and built a dynasty during the next 36 years. He guided UNC to two national championships, 11 Final Fours, won 879 games and graduated more than 96 percent of his players. He guided the 1976 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team to the gold medal and was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1983.
into the half, and grew as large as 18 points before it was over. The thinnest margin between the teams in the final seven minutes was nine. And when Payton II caught an outlet pass and flushed an uncontested, two-handed dunk in transition, giving OSU a 51-40 lead with 4:38 to play, another disappointing outcome for the Huskies was essentially sealed. “We reverted back and gave up far too many layups,” Romar said. “We had started to get better. You could see there was progress in that regard with us. But tonight, they just scored too many baskets at the rim. That’s a bad combination — you’re turning the ball over and they’re scoring at the rim.” It’s been a miserable 15 days for the Huskies, who in that time have lost five games, four of them since the dismissal of 7-foot center Robert Upshaw. He was a force the first time the Huskies and Beavers played, back on Jan. 15, when Upshaw scored 12 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and blocked six shots, and UW left Hec Edmundson Pavilion with a 56-43 victory.

Stanford tops USC 70-62 Associated Press STANFORD, Calif. — Chasson Randle scored 17 points, Stefan Nastic added 15 as Stanford beat USC 70-62 on Sunday. Anthony Brown and Rosco Allen added 11 points apiece for the Cardinal.
That feels like ancient history now. And with 6th-ranked Arizona visiting on Friday, an end to this skid does not seem imminent. “I’d be sitting here lying if I told you it wasn’t discouraging,” said senior forward Shawn Kemp Jr., who scored 13 points on Sunday. “It’s very discouraging. But I feel like we have, what is it, seven more games left? I think we can go back and practice hard and get ready for the next team and go on a run. That’s honestly what I think.” Considering their 3-9 record since starting 11-0, that belief likely doesn’t extend much beyond UW’s locker room. But Romar and Huskies players are clinging to the hope that they can still make something of what looks now to be another lost season. “Whenever we step up as a team, and we have a number of guys contribute, we have enough,” Romar said. “But if it’s just that night where we can’t muster up enough offense, then we don’t have a lot of margin for error.” Or for 22 turnovers.

Sounders go back to work on back line By Don Ruiz The News Tribune
One year ago, goalkeeper Stefan Frei and central defender Chad Marshall were the new guys finding their way into the heart of the Seattle Sounders defense. Now, they’re the pillars of stability in a disrupted defense that once again is working in at least two new players among the back five. “It’s far different from last preseason for me,” Frei said. “We’ve been able to work on a lot of aspects already that we were nowhere near at this point last year. So I’m very exciting with that to be getting sharper and sharper.” However, there could be 50-percent turnover in front of Frei, as Leo Gonzalez returns at left back and Marshall at center back, but right back DeAndre Yedlin has transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, and Zach Scott is working back from off-season surgery at the other center back position. English veteran Tryone Mears was brought in to take Yedlin’s spot, and he seems to be doing so. However, the surprise shift of camp has been midfielder/outside back Brad Evans getting regular time in the middle alongside Marshall. “It’s not like we have to teach (Mears) how to play right back,” Frei said. “He knows exactly what he’s doing. Brad maybe has to get used to the new position a little bit; but he’s obviously very, very intelligent and a versatile player and you see that he’s picking up certain (techniques). You’re on that last line of defense in front of the goalkeeper, so the risktaking has to be very, very minimal. But he’s coming around. He’s a very versatile and a very good player.” There also is a change directly behind Frei,
where veteran Troy Perkins was brought in to replace retired reserve goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann. Frei has started Seattle’s two friendlies so far — a win over UCLA and a loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy — with Perkins handling secondhalf duties. Pressure on the Seattle defense seems to have increased over the weekend with the announcement that designated player and four-time club MVP Osvaldo Alonso has undergone surgery on his right groin. No timetable for his return has been given. In the first two friendlies of training camp, the Sounders have started Andy Rose and Micheal Azira and played Aaron Long in Alonso’s defensive midfielder spot. Some clarification on Alonso’s status and the club’s plans in his absence are expected Monday, when the team returns to Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila for a week of local training. “We’re going to work on a little bit more fitness,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “Now we’re getting to the stages of sharpness and quickness and things like that, and really working on our passing and our cohesion and working to understand where we want guys on the field.” On Feb. 15, the Sounders take off for two weeks of work in Arizona, including four games in the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson. Then they will break camp and return home for game-week preparations leading to their Major League Soccer opener March 8 at home against the New England Revolution. “We’re going to try to take advantage of the next couple of weeks before the season starts,” Frei said. “Can’t wait; can’t wait. We’ve very excited to get going.
Bradley, Dempsey lead U.S. men to 2-0 win over Panama Associated Press CARSON, Calif. — When Michael Bradley curled a corner kick over the Panama defense and into the net for a spectacular goal, Clint Dempsey was unsure exactly how it happened. “You’d have to ask him whether he was aiming for that, because we didn’t know,” Dempsey said, laughing. With big goals from both veterans and a clean sheet, the United States provided ample reason for more excitement heading into an eventful year. Bradley scored in the 27th minute, Dempsey, a member of the Seattle Sounders, added his 40th career goal later in the first half, and the Americans snapped a five-game winless skid with a 2-0 victory over Panama on Sunday. The Americans wrapped up a monthlong training camp with their best result in 10 games since winning their opener at last year’s World Cup. The U.S. had won just once since beating Ghana in Brazil, but coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad looked considerably sharper in its home opener for a big year that includes the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifying. Bradley started it with a spectacular Olimpico goal, putting his corner kick directly into the far top corner of Jaime Penedo’s net with an
exceptional bend. Jozy Altidore could have headed it in if needed, but instead watched it settle for Bradley’s 13th career goal. “Coming out of a little bit of a difficult period, it was an important game for us,” Bradley said. “Maybe this isn’t the most important game we’ll play this year, but while it wasn’t perfect, we were able to do a lot of good things. It sets the groundwork for the rest of the year.” As for his goal, Bradley assured everybody that’s exactly what he meant to do. “Well, we work on a lot of different setpieces,” Bradley said. The Americans’ most impressive player was hometown star Gyasi Zardes, the LA Galaxy forward. He punctuated his first career U.S. start in the 37th minute by winning the ball in midfield and making a beautiful pass to Dempsey, who sidestepped Penedo and finished. Klinsmann praised Zardes and other youngsters who stepped up during the camp. “He is trying to impress, and he’s hungry,” Klinsmann said about Zardes. “He showed certain tools he has. The assist to Clint was just perfect, perfect timing. It shows he has something special.” Dempsey trails only Landon Donovan as the second-leading goalscorer in U.S. history.

period the Winterhawks re-tied it with 31.3 seconds remaining in regulation to salvage a point. Adin Hill played a strong game in net for the Winterhawks, turning aside 45 shots. Portland has been the undisputed king of the U.S. Division, winning each of the past four Western Conference championships. Everett was Winterhawk fodder during that run, winning just six of 40 head-to-head contests the previous four seasons. The Tips theoretically put Portland’s domination to rest early this season, beating the Winterhawks four times in the first two months of the season. However, three of those victories came while Bjorkstrand and fellow star forward Nicolas Petan were still at NHL training camps, and the fourth came before those two had fully integrated into the team, which was still getting to know new head coach Jamie Kompon. While Portland was figuring things out, Everett built a substantial lead in the division. But the Winterhawks had been closing the gap, winning eight of their past nine, including a 6-3 victory over the Tips last Saturday in which Bjorkstrand ran riot with three goals and three assists. A Portland regulation victory Sunday would have pulled the Winterhawks within arm’s reach of the Tips. Instead, Everett stretched its lead over the Winterhawks back to six points. Perhaps more importantly, it gave the Tips the psychological boost of knowing they can beat a fullstrength Portland team. “At the beginning of the year they didn’t have all their big guys and we just took those wins, which was nice,” Stadnyk said. “But when those guys are back and we’re able to beat them like that, it’s something special because they’ve had our number the past three or four years. It’s an honor beating those guys because they’re a great team.” Everett managed the victory despite playing its third game in three nights, while Portland was rested having had Saturday night off. The last time the Tips played a threein-three they also met Portland in the final game, and the Winterhawks again had the previous night off to
the first half of the 1958 season when New York Yankees manager Casey Stengel chose him for the All Star team. “I never got in the game,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1985, “but I sat on the bench with Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Yogi Berra. I gave ‘em instruction in how to sit.” In his first time at bat after the All Star Game, Bridges was hit by a fastball from the Tigers’ Frank Lary. He suffered a fractured jaw, which kept him out of action for much of the remainder of the season. “I was no longer just a pretty face,” he said of his craggy mug, which seemed to be made for a baseball card. Besides the Dodgers, Reds, Senators and Tigers, he played for the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Angels. “I’ve had more numbers on my back,” he said, “than a bingo board.” Bridges continued in baseball for decades as a big-league coach, minorleague manager and first-class raconteur. When one of his pitchers gave up seven runs in the first inning, he strode to the mound and said, “Give me the ball.” He looked at it, said, “Dang thing is still round,” then handed the ball back to the pitcher and returned to the dugout. Some players were so inept that the only kind thing to do was to suggest another line of work. “The other day,” Bridges said in 1964, “my left fielder saw some guys rob a liquor store near the ballpark and chased them until he got their license

prepare. The result was a 7-1 thrashing. But the Tips somehow found the wherewithal this time to outshoot Portland 49-33. “Honestly, I’m not sure where we found the energy,” Bauml said. “Anything to give ourselves a sugar boost. Just the fact it was the biggest game of the year to date, it was pretty easy to get up for this one.” The teams traded two-goal periods through the first 40 minutes. Everett had the better of the first, taking a two-goal lead on well-crafted goals by the Saskatoon Platoon. Portland responded in the second, with Bjorkstrand taking advantage of space and Bittner having a centering feed on the power play deflect past Hart. Some good fortune put Everett back in winning position in the third as Portland took two delay-ofgame penalties for putting the puck over the glass from the defensive zone in the span of 30 seconds, giving the Tips a five-on-three, which was converted with 11:41 remaining when Bauml banged in the second rebound. But a desperate Portland was able to score a last-gasp goal to get the game to overtime. Miles Koules’ back-door one-timer was saved by a lunging Hart. In the ensuing scramble Hart and the defense were able

number. Afterwards, he told me that he’d always wanted to be a cop. ‘Don’t give up hope,’ I said.” Between major-league stints as a coach with the Angels and San Francisco Giants in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, Bridges managed more than 2,800 minorleague games in such cities as Everett, Vancouver, Honolulu, El Paso and Phoenix. During his rookie season as a manager with the San Jose Bees in 1964, he coined a lament that has become part of baseball lore: “I managed good, but boy did they play bad.” Everett Lamar Bridges was born Aug. 7, 1927, in Refugio, Tex., and grew up in Long Beach, Calif. He signed his first professional contract in 1947 and played in the Dodgers’ minor-league system. An announcer in South Carolina gave him the nickname Rocky because, he said, “You simply don’t look like an Everett.” The highest salary Bridges earned as a player was $12,500. He worked in the offseason cleaning furnaces, making soap and running a jackhammer. “I was digging ditches all winter for a pipe-laying outfit in Long Beach,” he said before his 1958 All Star season with the Senators. “I ain’t too proud to grab a shovel for $2.81 an hour. Can’t say I liked the work, but put it this way, I couldn’t afford to dislike it, either.” He was married in 1952 to Mary “Buddy” Alway, who died in 2008. Survivors include four children and 11 grandchildren. Since 1970, Bridges had made his home in Idaho, but as a minor-league manager, he sometimes lived at the ballpark, where he seemed to be happiest. He always told his teams that baseball was meant to be fun: “The umpire says ‘Play ball,’ right?”

DO YOU HAVE HEARING LOSS? Michel Choquette Licensed HIS Owner
Both my parents were fitting hearing aids when I was born. Not one day of my life has gone by without mention of hearing aids. That means I have almost 50 years experience in this field! I decided in 1994 to follow my parents career paths and devote my energy to helping people hear better and more importantly feel better about themselves. Better hearing is so much more than hearing aids and technology. A person with hearing loss must fully understand the causes and implications of their hearing loss. Their hearing affects not only them but everyone they interact with. If not treated properly, hearing loss can cause anxiety and isolation. Everyone's hearing loss must be treated in two equal ways. The first is with the use of the latest technology to bring sound back to the person so they can actually hear sounds they've been missing. The second is with counseling so they can recognize the expectations and limitations of hearing aids and also learn about valuable strategies to help themselves. Since 2001 I have been helping people in Everett and surrounding areas. My goal is to remain in this community and continue my work of improving people's quality of life by providing inperson, customized services and stateof-the art hearing solutions. Call us to get the personalized service you can only receive from an independently owned and operated business.
IT MAY BE AFFECTING YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE Most people will see an optometrist or get glasses as soon as they have difficulty seeing. But when hearing becomes a challenge, many ignore or simply put up with it rather than take action. The effects of untreated hearing loss
The longer treatment is put off, the harder it is to recover
Your hearing loss may seem insignificant now — something that can be dealt with by simply turning the TV louder or asking people to repeat themselves — but studies have linked untreated hearing loss to real-world consequences1:
Making matters worse, studies have shown that the effects of hearing loss compound without treatment. Just as muscles grow weak from lack of use, the brain loses its ability to process sounds and recognize speech without regular auditory stimulation.
• Diminished psychological and overall health
The longer people go without hearing optimally, the more difficult it is to recover a full appreciation of words, sounds and music.
• Impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks • Reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety • Avoidance or withdrawal from social situations •
Social rejection & loneliness
•
Fatigue, tension, stress and depression
•
Irritability, negativism and anger
• •
Early treatment is the answer There is good news to report, however. Research by the non-profit National Council on Aging (NCOA) concluded that hearing loss treatment is shown to1:
