Bridge mostly torn down It could take a year to replace the aging span across railroad tracks

Brandon Bianchi, of Interwest Construction, cuts rivets for I-beam removal Friday as the Broadway Bridge over the BNSF Railway tracks is dismantled. The 102-year-old span is being rebuilt and the section of Broadway between Hewitt Avenue and California Street will be closed for at least a year.
By Chris Winters Herald Writer
EVERETT — The 102-year-old Broadway Bridge was mostly taken down in a week. Work crews Wednesday began removing the deck of the aging span over the BNSF Railway main line. The bridge, between California Street and Hewitt Avenue, used to carry 40,000 vehicles per day, but had been falling into disrepair and since June 2014 had been operating under weight restrictions. Demolition of the portion of
the bridge over the tracks was expected to wrap up over the weekend, depending on train traffic. Ryan Sass, Everett’s city engineer, said work crews are sometimes able to secure a sixhour window from BNSF to work on the bridge. At other times, a flagger is in contact with the railroad dispatchers and has to clear the work area if a train is coming through. There are still parts of the bridge that are not over the track that need to be removed. After that, crews can start drilling the supports for
the new bridge, Sass said. The $13.6 million replacement project will take up to a year to complete. Traffic is being detoured onto side streets east of Broadway during the process. So far, the detour route hasn’t posed problems for drivers. “As expected, a fair amount of traffic has gone elsewhere,” Sass said. “We expect some of that will start to come back as people find there is no congestion,” he said. Northbound traffic is being directed around the work area on Hewitt Avenue, Cedar Street
and Everett Avenue. Southbound traffic turns east on California Street, then south on Virginia Avenue, then west on Hewitt. Traffic cameras around the work site and detour route have been installed, which people can view on the city’s website: everettwa.org/default.aspx?ID=2080. The city has also released a time-lapse video of the initial stages of the demolition, posted on the city’s website and at heraldnet.com. Chris Winters: 425-374-4165; cwinters@heraldnet.com.

EVERETT — It’s Presidents Day, a good time to brush up on local visits paid by the nation’s commanders and chiefs. In the past 112 years, Snohomish County has played host to six sitting presidents. The first to set foot on county soil was Theodore Roosevelt in May of 1903 when 35,000 people — triple the city’s population at the time — turned out to cheer the country’s leader. Everett was just 10 years old at the time and throngs cheered as Roosevelt was paraded up Hewitt Avenue to deliver a speech on Colby Avenue. The last presidential visit was much more subdued. It occurred April 22, 2014, one month after a mudslide killed 43 people near Oso. On that occasion, President Barack Obama surveyed the devastation, talked with leaders of the recovery effort and met privately in the Oso Community Chapel with dozens of people who lost loved ones in the mudslide. In recent times, Snohomish County has become a destination See VISITS, Page A2

point for presidents, presidential candidates or, in the case of George Herbert Walker Bush, an understudy who later became president. Bush was vice president when he attended the funeral of U.S. Sen. Henry M. Jackson in Everett in 1983. The past four presidents — either before or after they were elected to office — have found their way to Snohomish County, sometimes with Boeing as their backdrop. The other four presidents to visit while in office were William Howard Taft on Oct. 9, 1911, Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Oct. 1, 1937, Harry S. Truman on June 9, 1948 and Oct. 2, 1952 and Bill Clinton on Feb. 23, 1993. Obama also gave a speech at the Boeing plant on Feb. 17, 2012. Before becoming president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and both George H.W. and George W. Bush made their way to Snohomish County. Some visits were extremely brief at rail stations. Such was the case when FDR spent a few minutes in Everett on Oct. 1, 1937. “Whistle stopping became an art in itself,” said David Dilgard, a historian with Everett Public Libraries. Everett was along Roosevelt’s route that included a visit to Forks where the president was thrilled to watch a logger cut the top

from a 175-foot Douglas fir and later to the Grand Coulee Dam, a massive Depression-era public works project that was then under construction. The late night stop on Pacific Avenue in Everett left little time for glad-handing, as
Snohomish County Sheriff Walter Faulkner learned. He’d hoped to hobnob with the president, but instead was given an important assignment — to drop off flowers at the hospital. A Herald reporter covering the event described
those who gather inside the high school auditorium. “We’re in this together, both communities,” Parks said. “The sole purpose is to continue the healing. We’re still grieving.” The grief was caused by a 15-year-old freshman, a Tulalip boy. He opened
fire Oct. 24 in one of the school’s bustling cafeterias. He shot five of his friends seated around a lunch table. Killed were Andrew Fryberg, 15, and Zoe Galasso, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia Soriano, all 14. Nate Hatch, 15, is the only victim to survive.
what happened: “The sheriff received the flowers when his attempt to mount the rear platform of the presidential special was halted by a secret service agent. Instead of being permitted to get on the train, the sheriff was made the custodian of the bouquet with orders to take them to a hospital with the president’s regards.” Faulkner took his duty seriously, the reporter wrote. “The flowers not only marked the impasse the sheriff met in his efforts to board the train but also proved the end of Mr. Faulkner’s stay at the open-air appearance of the president. Fearing souvenir hunters would strip him of the prize, the sheriff left the scene immediately to take the bouquet to the hospital.” The most frequent visitor before and during his presidency appears to be Harry
The shooter killed himself after firing at his friends. The boy reportedly sent text messages with suggestions for his funeral to about a dozen relatives minutes before the shooting. He also allegedly sent a picture of himself with a gun between his legs to a friend that morning. The cafeteria shooting remains under investigation by the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary has said it could up to a year to finish the work. At the prayer service Marysville School District Superintendent Becky Berg is expected to read the names of other schools around the world where shootings have happened. Mental health counselors also will be on hand during next week’s service, Kyllo said.
Truman, Dilgard said. As a senator from Missouri, Truman enjoyed spending time with U.S. Sen. Monrad Wallgren, in his colleague’s hometown of Everett. They were known to play poker and pool and go fishing together. “There were quite a few glimpses of Harry S. Truman in Milltown,” Dilgard said. “He and Mon would be out doing something.” Dilgard imagines Truman walking Everett’s streets somewhat anonymously in the years before he became president. One stop Truman apparently made before his presidency was to the Lighthouse, which was a cafe in the 3500 block of Rucker Avenue across the street from what is now Sequoia High School. It was well known for its hamburgers and orange cakes. Some locals remember then-Vice President Nixon’s visit on a Halloween Friday night at the Everett Civic Auditorium in 1958 and some door-to-door campaigning around Everett High School he did for local candidate’s afterward. Dilgard said Snohomish County has been in a good position geographically for presidential visits for more than a century. Presidents have arrived by boat, train and plane. “The transportation net appears to have been key to get people out so they can see them, reach them and make an impression on them,” Dilgard said.

“All of us are processing our grief and feelings of what happened. We’re all in different places,” he said. It is important to acknowledge those feelings and see that others share them, Kyllo said. “When we honor how we feel we begin to heal. When we honor our feelings together, we bring healing to each other,” he said.

Shooting after chase deemed justified By Rikki King Herald Writer
MUKILTEO — Police were legally justified in shooting a man who was pointing a gun at them after a car chase that ended in Mukilteo last year, prosecutors say.
Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe recently wrote detectives that there will be no charges filed against officers in the Feb. 16, 2014, shooting of Riley Leif Ottersen. “I believe they were each clearly justified in their use of deadly force,” Roe wrote.
Ottersen, 34, shot two people on Camano Island, killing one of them, then led police on a high-speed chase into south Snohomish County. In Mukilteo, Ottersen crashed his car, drew a gun on officers and was shot, according to police reports. He died weeks later at the hospital.
Police have said that Ottersen was a heroin addict who had previously threatened suicide. The motive in the killing of Bret Berlin, 44, on Camano Island, never was made clear. The prosecutor reviews every case in the county when police take a life, to determine if the use
of fatal force was lawful. Roe first read the completed investigation in September. His final decision was delayed until he could meet with Ottersen’s family, he wrote. “It was clear in our meeting that Mr. Ottersen’s family loved See SHOOT, Page A5

Speaking up for human rights It’s a career path Jackson High’s Camilla Mejia will likely pursue By Amy Nile Herald Writer
MILL CREEK — Camilla Mejia is a senior at Jackson High School in Mill Creek. She is working to organize a support group for Hispanic students at her school. Mejia, 17 hopes to study communications and political science next year at Western Washington University. She hopes to advocate for human rights as a career. Question: Tell me about
your support group for Hispanic students? Answer: I’m working with teachers to create a place for Latino students to work on leadership. We want to partner with outside organizations, such as Edmonds and Everett community colleges, to get it set up for second semester. It’s important, not for me, but for those who come after me. It will serve incoming students who want to get involved but don’t know how. Q: Where’d you get the idea
for the group? A: I’m vice president of the multicultural club. Being Latino, I didn’t see much opportunity for us. I didn’t see many Latino students getting involved but Jackson is becoming more diverse. I thought it’d be good to have this population represented so I decided to start it. Our mission is to provide a safe place for Latino students to feel represented and like they can do something and be someone. Q: How did you become a leader yourself?
A: I work at the front desk at the YMCA. I was invited to be the student representative on the Minority Achievers Program board for the Snohomish County YMCA. I loved it and thought I need to get more involved. The assistant superintendent then invited me to be the student representative on the Equity and Access Advisory Council for the Everett School District. They felt they needed a student voice and I was eager to provide that. See SUPER, Page A6
Sultan man pleads guilty to assault with firearm By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

SULTAN — Prosecutors have dropped an attempted murder charge against a Sultan man accused of firing a shotgun at a man in 2013. Paul Hackney’s trial was scheduled to begin earlier this month. Instead the retired crane operator pleaded guilty to thirddegree assault with a firearm. Hackney, 72, is scheduled to be sentenced in May. Both
sides agreed to recommend a two-year prison sentence. Hackney likely will get credit for the months he spent on electronic home monitoring. He is expected to serve at least a year and a half behind bars because the assault was committed with a firearm.

At times it feels like manhole covers are meant to be those road turtles (OK, “raised pavement markers”) designed to wake a drowsy driver. Street Smarts reader Merl Eaton brought this up. “As I drive down Cathcart Way and my tires clatter over the numerous manhole covers, I have to wonder why the engineers who design roadways seem to manage to put them right in the vehicle track rather than to the shoulder, where we as motorists do not drive,” writes Eaton, of Snohomish. “Cathcart Way is not the only roadway with this phenomena. On the same note, why is not possible to raise the level of these covers to the level of the surrounding pavement? Each layer of asphalt seems to make the depressions deeper.” First off, manhole covers should be level with the roadway, and Snohomish County maintenance staff are working on fixing the Cathcart Way offenders. As for where the manholes are positioned in the road, the answer is hidden beneath the asphalt. “All utilities must be within the right of way — either the roadway lanes or the county-owned clear space along the road. Sometimes it’s just not feasible to move them — it adds more cost to a project or would end up outside the right of way,” said Bronlea Mishler, a spokesperson for Snohomish County. “Often during road widening projects, utilities can’t be moved because there are so many of them sharing the same limited space,” such as water, sewer, cable and fiber, stormwater detention vaults and more, she added. “Adding to the complexity are guidelines that prevent certain utilities from being too close to each other — for example, sewer lines must be 10 feet away from water lines.” If you see a utility cover that

Green City Dental recommends replacing amalgam fillings
M
ost people are aware that mercury is a highly toxic substance. The Environmental Protection Agency acknowledges that high consumption of certain fish containing mercury can endanger the health of both adults and children. That agency also acknowledges that inhaled mercury vapor can be extremely hazardous. But until recent years, one source of mercury exposure has been flying under the radar. Old silver amalgam dental fillings contain up to 50 percent mercury — as much as in a thermometer — and they are in people’s mouths. Many dentists, and organizations such as International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, suggest that these old fillings should be safely removed in order to protect the patient from unnecessary mercury exposure. Rebecca Taylor, DDS,owner of Green City Dental in Edmonds agrees. “Would I want them in my own mouth? Absolutely not,” Taylor said. Currently there are no standard protocols in place for the safe removal of amalgam fillings. This can be a concern as dentists use a high-speed drill to remove these fillings and mercury vaporizes easily. Inhaled mercury vapor goes into the blood stream and particulates can get stuck in the lungs. This can be a concern for both the patient and for the dentist who removes these fillings on a regular basis. Mercury, when airborne, has no scent or color so you won’t necessarily be aware it is there. But it will land everywhere without containment, Taylor explained. That’s why Green City Dental has protocols in place to protect the dentist, the staff and the patients. Staff wear appropriate safety gear. Patients receive oxygen. “We also have other ventilation systems and filters that can help bind mercury so that when it is above a patient’s face it’s getting sucked into a filter instead of landing on their head or body,” Taylor said.
Green City Dental also has systems in place to prevent the mercury-tainted water from going down into the sewer. Many environmental organizations agree that the mercury from dental procedures releases up to 340 tons of mercury into the environment worldwide each year. Selecting a dentist who protects the environment can help reduce this number. As a mercury-safe dentist, Taylor is committed to reducing mercury exposure for everyone. She also likes to address patients’ concerns about their mercury exposure in advance of removing their amalgam fillings. “I always offer patients to take a mercury test before they have their mercury fillings out,” she explained. This tri-test of urine, blood and hair, lets the patient know how toxic they are in terms of mercury, and also separates out the different types of mercury so they can find out where it is coming from. For example, it’s possible that a patient’s high mercury level may be coming from eating too much seafood. Or, perhaps, it is coming from their fillings. Testing allows patients to make informed decisions about their dental care. Some patients with a lot of heavy metals built up in their body — such as aluminum, lead and arsenic — may not want to remove their fillings right away. Removing the fillings at such a point might do more damage to them because they might be overdosing the body with these heavy metals, Taylor explained. Some people are not very toxic in mercury but still like an extra level of protection when the mercury is removed. For both kinds of patients she can offer a referral for professional medical detoxification to help protect the body. There is another reason why people might want to replace old fillings, besides the mercury concerns. Mercury fillings move, expand and are prone to cracking. Taylor likens it to a crack in the windshield.

Is Snoring a PROBLEM at Your House?
Rebecca Taylor, DDS, owner of Green City Dental in Edmonds, says amalgam fillings move, expand and are prone to cracking.
“When you get a small little crack, it’s going to get bigger and bigger,” she said. "Wouldn’t it be nice to replace a small filling instead of a broken tooth that now needs a root canal, build up and crown? In the long run, it will save time and money."

Man dies in two-car crash on Whidbey Herald staff CLINTON — A 61-yearold Freeland man was killed and a 46-year-old Clinton woman seriously injured Saturday evening in a two-vehicle crash on Whidbey Island. The woman, driving a 1988 Ford van, was headed south on Highway 525 at about 8:40 p.m. Just past Coles Road, the van hit the guardrail on the right side of the road, then crossed back over the center line to strike a 1993 Honda Accord in the northbound lane driven by the Freeland man. The Freeland man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the Clinton woman was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and admitted into the intensive care unit. She was upgraded to stable condition Sunday. According to the Washington State Patrol, the man was not wearing a seat belt. Police are investigating the woman for vehicular homicide. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the crash.

him very much, and will miss him forever,” Roe wrote. Before the gunfire, three nearby homeowners heard the crash and were looking out their windows. They and police said Ottersen was unhurt when he got out of his wrecked Toyota Camry. Officers yelled and motioned to him to get on the ground. At that point, Ottersen raised his hands, then put them in his sweatshirt pockets. He brought out a black handgun and pointed it at two of the officers, looking straight at them, Roe wrote. Two sheriff’s deputies, an Everett police officer and a Washington State Patrol trooper fired at Ottersen. The shooting was over in about three seconds, with 38 rounds fired, Roe wrote. Ottersen’s handgun later was determined to be jammed by a fired shell casing, records show. It is not known whether he shot at the officers before he was struck by bullets. “Whether he fired or not, however, Mr. Ottersen clearly represented a potentially deadly threat to the officers, and I cannot find any fault in their simultaneous decisions to fire,” Roe wrote. Roe’s Feb. 9 decision letter was obtained by The Herald under state public records laws.
Minor injuries as school bus overturns By Chris Winters Herald Writer
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — A school bus carrying the King’s High School boys basketball team overturned while exiting I-5 late Saturday. The bus was carrying 15 students and two coaches from the private
Christian school in Shoreline. Eight of the students, one coach and the bus driver, a 53-year-old Everett woman, were taken to area hospitals with minor injures or for observation. A statement from the school said all the injured were later released without any broken bones or
Highway 104, the driver applied the brakes, but they didn’t work. The bus drifted off the roadway into a ditch, then came back onto the roadway, hit the curb and rolled onto its side. The bus, a 1999 Bluebird school bus, will be examined by the State Patrol’s Major Accident Team. The
school said in its statement it will work with the State Patrol in any way possible to determine the cause. Alcohol or drugs are not believed to be a factor in the crash. Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ Chris_At_Herald.
More focus sought on costs of initiatives By Rachel La Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Rare is the year in Washington state when voters don’t weigh in on a ballot measure. Same-sex marriage, the legalization of first medical, then recreational, marijuana and statewide minimum wage increases were all decided by a vote the people. Of the more than 260 initiatives or referendums that have appeared on the ballot since 1913, about half have passed. Those include measures that have sought to limit the Legislature’s ability to raise taxes, while others, like a recent one to reduce class sizes, came with a multibillion-dollar price tag but no funding source. The fiscal impact of some of these measures has led lawmakers to introduce a handful of bills this legislative session addressing the initiative process and its potential costs. One — a proposed constitutional amendment to require initiatives to have a way to pay for the costly ones and name the program cuts for those that repeal taxes — has already been abandoned. An alternate option that had a public hearing earlier this week would include the fiscal impact of the measure on the actual ballot if it increases costs — or reduces spending — by more than $25 million over two years. Another measure creates a pilot program to establish a citizens’ initiative review system to offer independent review of both sides of an initiative, including findings about the measure, including costs. “In a lot of ways, the
initiative process makes citizens legislators,” said Sen. Andy Hill, a Republican from Redmond who is chairman of the Senate Ways & Means Committee, which heard the ballot-information bill. “It’s important for them to have the same kind of information I have when writing a budget.” However, opponents of any changes to the initiative process are pushing back, key among them prolific initiative promoter Tim Eyman. During a public hearing on one of the bills, Eyman said that lawmakers have “developed a bizarre obsession with throwing monkey wrenches into the citizens’ initiative process.” “I guess I just always get so uncomfortable that just because an initiative you didn’t like passes, somehow the entire system is broken,” he told lawmakers. Sen. Joe Fain, a Republican from Auburn who sponsored the three bills in the Senate, said that he is a strong supporter of the imitative process. Fain notes that he headed up a successful initiative effort in 2008 that made the offices of the King County executive and all the county council members nonpartisan. “A reform like this is integral to strengthening the initiative process,” he said, noting that expensive initiatives will likely still pass, but will be done so with the financial considerations “front and center.” While all states allow lawmakers to refer issues to the ballot, in 24 states, voters can place a measure on the ballot, either through the referendum or initiative process, according to the National Conference of State

Initiative promoter Tim Eyman (left) and Washington state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, sit together as they wait to speak before the Senate Ways and Means Committee in Olympia on Feb. 9. The committee was debating a measure sponsored by Fain that would require that ballots include statements addressing the potential cost of initiatives being considered by voters if spending would increase or decrease by more than $25 million over two years. Eyman opposes the measure.

Legislatures. According to NCSL, if a ballot measure will have a monetary effect on the state’s budget, 13 states require a fiscal impact statement to be drafted and placed on the petition or in the voter pamphlet. Several of those states also include that same information directly on the ballot: California, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming.
In addition to writing a two-year state budget, lawmakers this session are tasked with addressing education funding in the state after the state Supreme Court found the state in contempt last September for lawmakers’ lack progress on that issue. Under Washington law, voter-approved initiatives cannot be changed or suspended within two years of passage unless lawmakers
Man dies in crash east of Granite Falls Herald staff GRANITE FALLS — The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a crash on Mountain Loop Highway that killed a 43-year-old Arlington man Friday. The first call reporting the crash came in about 12:54 p.m., said Sheriff’s Office Lt. Norm Link. Sheriff’s deputies found a vehicle with
a single occupant off to the side of the highway near Masonic Family Park, about 3.5 miles east of Granite Falls. The vehicle had hit a power pole when it left the roadway. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. It was not clear exactly when the crash occurred, Link said. The make and model of vehicle, and which

approve it by a two-thirds vote in both chambers. After two years, they just need a simple majority vote for such changes. Lawmakers have not hesitated to take such action on initiatives — including measures on teacher raises and class sizes — during tough budget years. The hefty price tag for Initiative 1351, to reduce class sizes, creates a projected shortfall for lawmakers of about $2 billion for the next two-year budget ending in mid-2017. Its cost increases an additional $2.7 billion through the middle of 2019. “Initiatives obviously have an impact on how we’re able to get our budgets done,” said House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington. “Voters having more information is always a good thing.”

Q: Has your voice helped other students? A: Last June, we met with the school board. I talked about teachers who are in touch with students. I had a teacher who made me feel so welcome and motivated. I shared that experience and the assistant superintendent decided kindness would be the theme at Jackson this school year. I was so humbled that one simple thing I said was going to

OK to follow an ambulance? You’re on the highway during rush hour. Then an ambulance, lights flashing and sirens a’blaring, needs to get by. So like everyone else you sigh and slow down even more, move over, and tell yourself that a few more minutes in traffic is certainly better than being in whatever situation is prompting a paramedic response. But then some hot shot hops right into the wake of the emergency vehicle and sails on by everyone, riding the wave of a stolen right-of-way. So tempting, but so wrong — right? Right?! Well... Ralph Gilcreest of Mukilteo brought up this question of legality. The practice certainly isn’t limited to interstates. Take the free green lights emergency vehicles trigger at many intersections, for example. “Are there any prohibitions to cars chasing fire trucks and ambulances in order to get the green lights that emergency vehicles get?” he asks. “I have not seen this done behind law enforcement vehicles!” he adds. Turns out this isn’t as clear-cut as us moral highgrounders would like. The closest thing on the books is RCW 46.61.635, which explicitly prohibits following a fire apparatus that is heading to an alarm by any closer than 500 feet. If the staff inside an ambulance is attached to a fire unit, there might be some argument there — but it’s hardly practical to enforce, said Trooper Mark Francis of the
of my comfort zone. I also learned that I love debating. I have lots of opinions so I decided to keep doing it. Now, I’m involved. I’m not afraid to speak out and say what I feel. Q: What else has been important for you in high school? A: A lot of influence has come from my faith. I’m Catholic. I feel we should love people equally. That’s a big part of why I want to advocate for people’s rights as a career. Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; anile@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @AmyNileReports
Washington State Patrol. “I think for (drivers following) ambulances the issue is going to be if they’re speeding or following too close in general,” Francis said. Those are both offenses that can get you pulled over and ticketed.
signal box. If you are sitting in a car in the regular traffic lanes, you can’t see the right-hand signal (a safety precaution to keep all cars from moving at that time), but there is a sign at the intersection.”
Bus has its own light This was an interesting one. “Several times recently I have noticed buses... stopped at a red light and then proceed through the intersection while the light is still red,” writes Chester Swanson of Everett. Most recently, a Community Transit bus heading northbound on Highway 99 seemed to run the red at 148th Street SW in north Lynnwood. “In fact, the bus was almost to the Highway 525 overpass before the rest of us waiting at the intersection got a green light,” Swanson recalled. “Is there some exception to the normal Washington traffic laws that allows a bus to go through a red light?” Yup. Well, sort of. Community Transit has heard this question before, and everything is quite legit — if not completely visible to the common driver. “Because the northbound bus lane ends just north of 148th Street and buses must merge left into general traffic lanes, the Washington State Department of Transportation installed what is called a ‘queue jump’ light at this intersection,” said Martin Munguia, a spokesperson for Community Transit. “This signal turns green for the right-hand lane before the regular green light, allowing cars to make a right turn at 148th and buses to go straight so they can get into the general purpose lane. “Basically, buses get a few seconds’ jump on other northbound traffic,” Munguia said. “This signal is only triggered if a bus is present in that lane. A transponder on the bus communicates with the
Timid at the roundabout Roundabouts come in all sizes. And sometimes it’s the smallest that are the hardest to navigate. Take the roundabout near the Les Schwab and Safeway gas station at Frontier Village in Lake Stevens. “It is very dangerous, as the traffic from the Safeway parking lot does not yield to traffic on the Davies Road — they just come one after the other without even slowing down,” writes Jody Gamble. “What are the rules about this? If I have a problem I just stop so as not to get hit by this traffic. My husband says I am going to be smashed for doing that. Would a sign maybe helpful for drivers coming out of the lot?” Like other roundabouts, the approaching vehicle always yields to the oncoming traffic from the left. “Some motorists get timid and hesitate to enter the center lane because the smaller sized roundabout puts the intersection approach lanes much closer together,” said Mick Monken, the city’s Public Works director. “This results with the perception that they cannot get a break. Stopping in the approach will likely not result in an accident but may make the driver behind you impatient. “As for an additional sign, this would likely have little if any effect, as what is being described sounds like how a roundabout is designed to operate,” he added.

Ruth “Lorraine” Madsen Jasper
Aug. 27, 1921-Feb. 5, 2015 Lor raine Jasper passed away at home after a short illness at the age of 93. She was born in Everett, Wash. to Nels and Selma Madsen and was a sister to Ber nice and Jack. They settled in Lake Stevens, Wash. where she spent a happy childhood on the old Swallwell Road among many close neighbors and relatives. Summer s were spent swimming every day in the lake. She graduated from Lake Stevens High in 1941 and was seeing a movie in an Everett theater when the lights suddenly came on and the attack on Pear l Harbor was announced. That led to a job at Boeing’s and meeting the man she would be married to for 63 years, C h a r l e s J a s p e r. H e wa s s t a t i o n e d a t Pa i n e F i e l d where they were married in the chapel during the war in 1943. She traveled with him stateside and waited for his return from overseas. Her greatest role was wife and mother of five children. She kept a watchful eye on the kids and put a full course meal on the table e v e r y n i g h t . Fa m i l y a n d home always came first, but she also made time for creative interests for herself. She made beautiful c e r a m i c s a n d w o n m a ny ribbons at the ceramic arts shows; she had a green thumb and nur tured many plants; she made the best homemade candies and cookies for the holidays and was named “Gramma Cookie” by her great grandsons; she loved Las Vegas, Nev., shopping. all kinds of music, lunch out, reading and Christmas Eve, which was always at her house until the last few years. The food, decorations and fun made the fondest memories of the holidays. There were always a few decorations left up all year. Her sister bestowed the nickname “ Auntie Halv” on her when her nephews came along. Over all the years and generations, she became “Auntie Halv” to relatives and friends alike. She had good times and survived bad times. In 1974 her husband suffered a life changing accident and she devoted the next thirty years to his care and supported everything he did. She chose to face whatever problems occurred and to go on. She was much admired and loved for her courage and will be sorely missed. She was preceded in death by her husband; her son, Tom Jasper; and grandson Rick Hopkins. She is sur vived by daughters, Jill Delaney and Ly n n J a s p e r - N o v y ( J i m ) ; sons, Eddie Jasper and Jamie Jasper (Shar man); granddaughters, Shannon P a r r ( Tr a v i s ) , S u m m e r McConnell (Mike) and Tawny Salazar (Kevin Sain); grandson, Dylan Jasper ; great grandsons, Patrick and Thomas McConnell; and special nephews, Jack Low (Dianne) and Gar y Low (Marlene) and niece, Penny Cottrell.

IS claims mass beheading By Ashraf Khalil and Maggie Michael Associated Press
CAIRO — A video purporting to show the mass beheading of Coptic Christian hostages was released Sunday by militants in Libya affiliated with the Islamic State group. The killings raise the possibility that the Islamic militant group — which controls about a third of Syria and Iraq in a self-declared caliphate — has established a direct affiliate less than 500 miles from the southern tip of Italy. One of the militants in the video makes direct reference to that possibility, saying the group now plans to “conquer Rome.” The militants had been holding 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians hostage for weeks, all laborers rounded up from the city of Sirte in December and January. It was not clear from the video whether all 21 hostages were killed. It was one of the first such beheading videos from an Islamic State group affiliate to come from outside the group’s core territory in Syria and Iraq. The Associated Press could not independently verify the video. But the Egyptian government and the Coptic Church, which is based in Egypt, both declared it authentic. The Egyptian government declared a seven-day mourning period and President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi addressed the nation late Sunday night, pledging resilience in the fight against terrorism. “These cowardly actions will not undermine our determination” said el-Sissi, who also banned all travel to Libya by Egyptian citizens and said his

government reserves the right to seek retaliation. “Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals.” The Coptic Church called on its followers to have “confidence that their great nation won’t rest without retribution for the evil criminals.” The video’s makers identified themselves as the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State group. A still photo, apparently taken from the video, was published last week in the Islamic State group’s Dabiq online magazine — indicating a direct connection between the Libyan militants and the main group. The video, released Sunday night, depicts several men in orange jumpsuits being led along a beach, each accompanied by a masked militant. The men are made to kneel and one militant, dressed differently that the others, addresses the camera in North
American-accented English. “All crusaders: safety for you will be only wishes, especially if you are fighting us all together. Therefore we will fight you all together,” he said. “The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama Bin Laden’s body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood.” The men are then laid facedown and simultaneously beheaded. In el-Aour, an impoverished village some 125 miles south of Cairo and home to 13 of the hostages, friends and family assumed the worst as soon as the photo was published Thursday. On Saturday, two days after the photo appeared, the community was wrapped in sorrow. Men covered their heads with dirt in a sign of both grief and shame. Women slapped their own faces or let out heartwrenching shrieks of pain. Villagers accused the Egyptian government of doing
little to help the captives. The authorities, they say, were able to free Muslim Egyptians abducted in Libya in recent months but have done nothing to save the 21 because they are Christian — an accusation rooted in the deep sense of religious discrimination felt by most Egyptian Copts. Samuel Walham’s family immediately recognized him from the picture, showing him kneeling on the beach alongside four other hostages — each flanked by a knifewielding militant. “Look at my love. Look how beautiful he is,” Walham’s mother, Ibtassal Lami, said through tears as she cradled a photo of her son and women wailed in the family’s ramshackle, two-story home. “He only went there to earn his living.” Libya, rich in oil and short on labor, has long been a magnet for Egyptians seeking to escape poverty and unemployment.
FAA proposes rules for drone use By Joan Lowy Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government proposed longawaited rules Sunday to usher in an era of commercial drones, but packages from these unmanned aircraft won’t be landing on your doorstep any time soon. The Federal Aviation Administration proposed requirements that commercial operators must meet, such as passing a knowledge test administered by the agency as well as a federal security check, in order to fly small drones, defined as weighing less than 55 pounds. It is likely to be two or three years before the rules are made final, but federal officials said that once they are in place the economic and safety benefits of unmanned aircraft are expected to be enormous. Among the chores that officials envision drones performing: Aerial photography and mapping, crop monitoring, and inspections of cell towers, bridges and other tall structures. But the proposal

includes safety restrictions such as keeping drones within sight of operators at all times and no nighttime flights. That could mean no package or pizza deliveries by drone. Drones would have to stay at least 5 miles from an airport. They could travel as fast as 100 mph, but flights would be limited to 500 feet in altitude or below. Flights over crowds would be prohibited. “We have tried to be flexible
in writing these rules,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. “We want to maintain today’s outstanding level of aviation safety without placing an undue regulatory burden on an emerging industry.” Huerta emphasized that introduction of commercial drones into the national airspace will be a staged process. One of the key safety concerns is that without a human on board the ability to “see and
avoid” other aircraft is limited. Another concern is that the link between the operator and a remote control aircraft can be broken, causing the drone to fly away until it loses power or hits something. Cases of flyaway drones getting stuck in trees or hitting buildings are rampant. Last month, a drone that its operator lost control of flew over the White House fence and crashed on the lawn before Secret Service agents could block it. The White House issued a presidential memorandum on privacy in conjunction with the rules. The memorandum lays out measures federal agencies must follow to guard against abuse of data collected in their drone flights. Among other steps, the order requires agencies to review privacy and civil rights protections before deploying drone technology and to adhere to a range of controls. Personally identifiable information collected in drone flights is to be kept no longer than 180 days, although there are exceptions.
Study: Teens getting less & less sleep By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press
CHICAGO — U.S. teens are getting sleepier: Many lack even seven hours of shut-eye each night and the problem has worsened over two decades, a study found. More than half of kids aged 15 and older would need to sleep at least two hours more each night to meet recommendations for adequate rest, heightening concerns about the impact on their health and academic performance. That’s according to researchers who analyzed the University of Michigan’s annual “Monitoring the Future” national surveys of youth behavior.
The study involved nearly 300,000 teens asked in 19912012 surveys if they regularly got at least seven hours of sleep nightly and enough sleep. Results were published in Monday’s Pediatrics. Experts generally recommend nine or 10 hours of sleep for teens; more than half of the 15- to 19-year-olds surveyed in 2012 said they didn’t even get seven hours each night. Declines in nightly sleep were seen in teens of all ages during the two decades. The biggest drop was among 15-year-olds — just more than half the kids this age reported at least seven hours nightly in 1991, versus less than 43 percent in 2012. Also, about
30 percent of 15-year-olds reported getting what they considered enough sleep in 1991, versus 24 percent in 2012. Reports were slightly better for younger teens and worse for the oldest teens. In most surveys, girls and non-whites were the least likely to report seven hours of sleep. Reasons for the trend are uncertain but lead author Katherine Keyes, a Columbia University public health researcher, said factors that might have contributed include increasing use of social media, smartphones and other electronics, and rising rates of obesity, which has been linked with sleep deprivation. Other research has suggested that
early school start times play a role and advocates have been pushing for later times for teens. Kids who don’t get enough sleep are at risk for mood problems, depression, memory and learning difficulties and poor grades, said psychologist Daniel Lewin, a sleep specialist at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He said about 40 percent of U.S. high schools start classes before 8 a.m. — early morning hours that are teens’ “optimal sleep period.” The researchers say improving teens’ understanding of how much sleep they need, and the consequence of not getting enough, could help.
ACROSS THE U.S.
Another snowstorm slams New England BOSTON — The latest storm system to sweep the Northeast brought another foot of snow to Boston — on top of 6 feet that has fallen over the past month. A bone-chilling blast of cold, with lows of minus-10 degrees was in the Sunday night forecast in parts of the region. The temperatures are expected to be the coldest of the season, according to the National Weather Service. Strong winds expected to continue into Monday reduced visibility, created drifts and complicated an ongoing cleanup effort. Forecasters were talking about another storm on the horizon for midweek.
Calif: Poet laureate dies Philip Levine, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet whose intimate portraits of blue-collar life were grounded in personal experience and political conscience, died Saturday. Levine was 87. Levine, the country’s poet laureate in 2011-2012, died at his home in Fresno, California, of pancreatic and liver cancer, his wife said Sunday.
More golf for Obama President Barack Obama has moved his golf game to a private California course owned by a billionaire. Obama played Sunday at Porcupine Creek in Rancho Mirage.

Pa.: Tractor-trailer chase A tractor-trailer driver threw items from his cab at police — including socks, shoes and a small refrigerator — as he led them on a 34-mile chase in western Pennsylvania, authorities said Sunday. Police in Westmoreland County said a man called emergency dispatchers just before 2 a.m. Saturday and said he planned to wreck his truck. State troopers tried to stop the vehicle near Washington Township but the driver disregarded them and a pursuit began along Route 70 and later the Pennsylvania Turnpike, police said. The truck was stopped with spike strips shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday. Troopers used a stun gun to subdue the driver.
AROUND THE WORLD Nigeria: Bomb kills 16 MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — A teenage female suicide bomber blew herself up at crowded bus station in Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, Sunday, killing at least 16 and wounding 30 others. Most of the victims were children who had either been selling peanuts or begging, said witnesses. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing but it fits the pattern of violence by Boko Haram, Nigeria’s Islamic extremist group that caused an estimated 10,000 deaths last year and is fighting to impose Islamic Shariah rule over Nigeria.
Denmark: Gunman had criminal record, gang past The suspected gunman killed by police after shooting attacks against a free speech event and outside a Copenhagen synagogue was 22 years old and had a background in criminal gangs, police said Sunday. The suspect was born in Denmark and had a criminal record, including violence and weapons offenses, Copenhagen police said in a statement. They didn’t release his name. A Danish filmmaker attending a panel discussion on blasphemy was killed in the shooting Saturday at the free speech event and a member of the Jewish community was killed outside the synagogue. Five police officers were wounded in the shootings. Police believe the suspect carried out both shootings alone but were investigating whether he had help from others.
Spain: American gored An American man is recovering in the intensive-care unit of a hospital in western Salamanca after being savagely gored during a bullfighting festival celebrating Carnival, officials said Sunday. Surgeon Enrique Crespo said he was called to operate on Benjamin Miller, 20, of Georgia, who had been gored by a large fighting bull Saturday, the first day of nearby Ciudad Rodrigo’s “Carnaval del Toro.” A town councilor said two other unidentified men had less serious goring injuries.

Pioneering CPA’s legacy lives on By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal
LYNNWOOD — It would be easy to look at the partners of Vine Dahlen and assume the accounting firm is a reflection of its founder. After all, Ann Vine started the business more than 50 years ago when she was one of just a few female accountants in Washington. Now Vine Dahlen is still a rarity: Five of its eight partners are women in an industry where the majority of accounting firms are run by men. The simple math would be that a woman pioneering in her field created a firm allowing other women to thrive. It’s not that easy. Ann Vine, who died in 1997, set out to create a firm to help other businesses, not other women. “I can’t recall ever hearing anything out of her mouth that you’d call feminist,” said son Milt Vine, who followed her in accounting. “I can’t recall an instance where she would say she was going to hire a woman just because she was a woman. I think she just went after the people who worked.” The firm that Ann Vine launched — and her partners helped build — did create an environment that embraced flexibility, said Lisa McKeirnan, Vine Dahlen’s managing partner. That has allowed employees and clients to succeed over the years. “I think her legacy really is letting people work and create their own success,” McKeirnan said. It’s been a successful formula for an accounting firm that has proved staying power within the community. “If you look at her, she had zero background for that,” Milt Vine said. “Hers was total bootstrap. She started with almost nothing, not even a degree in accounting from a school.” ■ ■■ Vine Dahlen, at 3500 188th St. SW near Alderwood mall in Lynnwood, offers help with taxes, auditing, financial statements and consulting, mainly for businesses and nonprofits. Ann Vine started the firm by herself in 1964, naming it Vine & Co. It now employs 28 and is one of the longest-running local firms in Snohomish County. Born Oct. 21, 1921, Evelyn Ann
DAN BATES / THE HERALD
Managing partner Lisa McKeirnan and partners Thomas Over, Scott Minnig, Dale Bonn and Stacy Minnig of Vine Dahlen stand in the hallway at their office in Lynnwood. The firm started more than 50 years ago by Ann Vine, who took correspondent accounting courses.
Doyle grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, where her father worked as the registrar for what is now Florida State University. She went to the college after high school and studied language. After graduating, Ann met Vern Vine, who was in the military. They married in 1947 and moved to his home of Seattle. In the next few years, Ann Vine had three children, Barb, David and Milt. With financial obligations for her mother, who did not work and lost her husband when Ann was in college, and a young family, Evelyn Ann Vine worked as a secretary, a job that she hated. She decided to take correspondence accounting courses. After getting her license, Vine worked at a series of accounting jobs in Bothell. She wasn’t the first woman to get a CPA license in the state. Milt Vine said there were women who had licenses 20 to 30 years before her. But women accountants were few and far between in those early days. “She used to talk about the early accounting society
meetings and seminars she attended where she was the only woman in the room,” Milt Vine said. If she had clients look elsewhere because of her gender, Ann Vine kept it to herself, Milt Vine said. “Based on what I know about the industry, I’m sure she did,” Milt Vine said. ■ ■■ A former partner used to comment that Ann Vine had two careers: The first was raising her family and the second was becoming an accountant. That’s not quite true. When she passed the CPA exam, David and Barb were teenagers and Milt was about 10. Starting a new business took long hours — especially during tax season — but Ann Vine made time for her family. “She was very family oriented,” Milt Vine said. “She was by and large there when we needed her when we had concerts and sporting events.” She was also a devout Southern Baptist, attending church regularly and serving as the
organist for the church choir, which meant weekly practices. “It was many nights a week at church on top of her business and on top of raising kids,” Milt Vine said. Over time, Ann Vine sought to grow her business, adding employees and later partners, some of whom didn’t work out. It wasn’t until she met Ron Dahlen in 1977 and later Roger Werner that she found the partners that she needed. Dahlen and Werner both worked for Peat Marwick Mitchell, now KPMG in Seattle and one of the largest accounting firms in the country. “I vividly remember that she said, ‘I think I found the right guy,’” Milt Vine said of Ron Dahlen. Together, they created Vine, Dahlen, Werner & Co. (Roger Werner would later go on to establish a competing firm in Lynnwood, Werner O’Meara & Co.) Dahlen, who retired from the firm in 1999, can’t remember where he met Ann Vine, but the two hit it off. He liked that she had a background in taxes and payroll taxes and had a customer base. His background in auditing and more technical accounting were skills that he brought to the firm. He said he wasn’t put off by Ann Vine’s lack of formal training: “You don’t learn everything you need to know in a college classroom.” They spoke to a banker about joining together. “I said, ‘If I joined, Ann, do you think we would starve together?’” Dahlen recalls saying. The firm doubled business within a year. ■ ■■ They call them shoebox clients — customers who keep receipts, bills and everything else they think is important in a shoebox and bring it into an accounting firm during tax season. That was one of the first jobs that Ann Vine had for McKeirnan, who started at the firm out of the University of Washington in 1986. “She thought it was fun training me on my first shoebox, that it would be kind of challenging,” McKeirnan said. The culture of the firm was different than many of the accounting firms of the 1980s, McKeirnan said.
“I know there were a lot of firms that when you first started working they said you had to work a minimum of 60 hours a week, you’re going to have meetings every Saturday and it’s going to start at 7 to get people in here and you’re going to have to have this many chargeable hours,” McKeirnan said. That didn’t mean that Vine Dahlen did less work. Ann Vine and Ron Dahlen and the other partners put an emphasis on customer service and being available for clients. ■ ■■ Vine Dahlen reached 50 years in business last year. The celebration: They added a logo on their email that says “1964-2014 — Celebrating 50 years.” The firm was busy, because it merged with Gillespie & McMahon, McKeirnan said. “We bought a firm so we spent all of our time working on assimilating them,” McKeirnan said. “In the back of my mind, I kept thinking we need to be doing something and it was our intention to do that.” That’s part of accounting, the business is always looking forward to the next tax season or to the next reporting deadline. But 50 years is milestone for any firm. “When we hit the recession in 2008 or 2009, and you see some of the companies that are failing around you, you appreciate what you have achieved especially in this type of environment,” McKeirnan said. Ron Dahlen now splits his time between the Puget Sound area and Arizona. Ann Vine died at the age of 75, just a few years after her husband, partly from complications of scoliosis, which she suffered her entire life. Milt Vine never worked for the firm — he worked for Arthur Andersen in New York before returning to Seattle to work for Ernst & Whinney. But his daughter — Ann Vine’s granddaughter — Katy Vine, did an internship at the firm a few years ago. She now works for Tableau in Seattle. “The legacy she left behind was that family is important, life is important, but our clients are important too,” McKeirnan said. “And everyone is a business person when they start in public accounting, and it’s up to you to get the work done, and however you do it is up to you.”

o you have an idea for a business, but have no idea how to get started? Or maybe you have an invention sitting in your garage but don’t know the first steps of turning your invention into a business? For many would-be entrepreneurs, taking the first step is sometimes the hardest; the hill to climb seems too steep and the risks too great. I recently discovered a local nonprofit called the NW Innovation Resource Center (NWIRC). It helps future entrepreneurs who may have nothing more than a business idea floating around in their heads. Based in Bellingham, NWIRC serves Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties. I chatted with NWIRC’s executive director, Diane Kamionka, about her organization and a business competition event
it is sponsoring this spring. Here at the highlights of our conversation: Q. How does NWIRC help fledgling entrepreneurs bring business ideas to life? A. The NWIRC works with each innovator to develop a customized road map for success. A high percentage of entrepreneurs get a bit overwhelmed by the wide range of tasks required to succeed. By organizing the activities and dealing with them one at a time, they can begin to make progress. Our programs heavily rely on the generosity of accomplished business persons to provide advice to the entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs seek advice from a wide range of sources, but it often becomes noise and is not strategic for their situation. We invite an individual with the appropriate knowledge

and experience to meet with the entrepreneur regarding a specific topic and at a point in the process that is timely. This provides an effective use of the business person’s time and quality information for the entrepreneur. When we started the NWIRC, one CEO said that he would be happy to spend an hour with an entrepreneur if he could be sure the problem was one he could help with and the entrepreneur was serious. Q. This spring, NWIRC is sponsoring the NW Washington Sustainability Challenge, a business competition involving student teams from several local colleges. What are the goals for this event? A. So many individuals have shared with us that they have an idea, but are not sure how to begin acting on it. The Challenge is an offer to individuals to take

action on their ideas. It provides an opportunity to get assistance for moving forward, to determine the potential value of their ideas and find others with whom they can work to proceed. The Challenge also brings entrepreneurial activity to light within the community. At last year’s Challenge event luncheon, business leaders, politicians and educators came to see what ideas were being presented. They provided encouragement to the participants. Without innovation, a community can become stagnant — its economy, its education, its social life. The Challenge celebrates entrepreneurial efforts with opportunity, encouragement and rewards. Q. What advice would you give to a person thinking about creating an enterprise focused on sustainability?
Tracy Chambers of Perteet Engineering is volunteer coordinator. Jennifer Lundberg of Hascal, Sjoholm & Company is treasurer. Rhonda Bradley of Opus Bank is in charge of recruitment. Frontier Communications has named Cameron Christian the vice president of West Region
A. Businesses must first and foremost be sustainable themselves — that is, they must break even at a minimum. If there is not a good business model, all else is for naught. Many people think of a sustainable business as being about creating alternative energy or electric cars. But what about creating a new way of preserving our food, streamlining the packaging we use for products, simplifying a manufacturing process, minimizing waste or reusing products? All of these will help sustain our natural resources and add to the quality of our lives. So the advice is to think of sustainability in a very broad sense.

Teacher pay is basic education to satisfy the deadlines of the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision and its own legislation, it will have to find funding to address pay and benefits for teachers and other school employees, the most basic part of basic education. The governor’s $2.3 billion education budget, in its attempt to meet those deadlines, outlined spending for maintenance, supplies and operating costs, reducing K-3 class sizes and funding all-day kindergarten for all students, but it doesn’t adequately address the funding necessary for teacher pay. For decades, individual school districts have made up for the state’s pullback on supporting basic education by going to their own voters and using levy money to make up the difference between what the state
provided for salaries and benefits and what districts contractually agreed to pay teachers. Data from the Washington Association of School Administrators shows that during the 1987-88 school year, the state paid an average of 99 percent of each teacher’s salary. That has steadily decreased to a statewide average in the 2012-13 school year of 77 percent. The share is higher for several school districts in Snohomish County. For Everett and Monroe school districts about 85 cents of every levy dollar in 2013-14 went to salaries and benefits for teachers, administrators and support staff. There have been past attempts to cap the reliance on levy funds, but lawmakers have for too long allowed local districts, at least those with voter support, to make up
the difference between what the state would pay and what teachers were paid. By 2018, the same deadline as the court’s McCleary decision, the percentage of levy money that can make up a district’s total budget will be reduced from the current 28 percent to 24 percent, limiting each district’s ability to make up for what the state doesn’t provide. The funding crunch for school districts, ironically, could deepen as both the McClearly decision and I-1351 are implemented, increasing the employees that districts are left liable to pay. All the more reason for legislators to ensure the state is providing for the bulk of school employee compensation. Tomorrow, more on how the state might begin to address that duty.

I say get rid of it and let time be time ... in its natural state.” First, make clear what is meant by time’s “natural state.” During the winter we are on Standard Time, therefore getting dark at 4:30 p.m. is the “normal” and will not change. Summer night light until 10:30 is a result of daylight saving time, so that would change. She cannot have it both ways. If we eliminate daylight saving time, then our current time will remain unchanged, summer and winter.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Switch robs kids of needed sleep
I also want to advocate for getting rid of daylight saving time. As a teacher, I see daily how it affects our kids. It means they are walking to school or to the bus stop in the dark 10 to 12 weeks longer every year, which is a safety hazard. Just as importantly, it means that kids are getting less sleep, which we know affects learning and behavior. High school kids are required to be in class and ready to learn usually around 7:30 a.m. Jumping ahead an hour means they need to get up an hour earlier to make it school — a condition that lasts April through October, approximately half the school year. The research clearly shows (as does my classroom experience) that teens are not well equipped to get up and work productively early in the morning. The failure rate for kids who don’t make it to school for first period is two to three times greater than at any other time of the day. Younger children usually start school later, but it’s difficult to get kids of any age ready for bedtime in the spring and early fall, when it stays light until 7 to 9 p.m. Consequently, they get less sleep.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Addressing climate change
Tax carbon, then give that money back By Lee James
T
he recent ground swell of climate and clean energy solutions in state and local news is remarkable. We’ve always needed more climate and emissions solutions. Now we have new Republican-proffered solutions in addition to longer-standing ones. We can harness multiple approaches, but one — pricing carbon without additional tax burden — needs to emerge as a front-runner. Until recently, our efforts were centered on emissions problems from burning and transporting fossil fuel. Now, proposals for addressing the problems are coming in. Some may grab the attention of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., given his focus on national security and transportation. We need to be clear about which emissions problem we’re targeting. We are challenged to: reduce the emissions content of transportation fuels; create clean,
safe, local jobs; preserve our regional low-cost electric power legacy; safely transport coal and petroleum in rail cars; and reduce our consumption of dirty fossil fuels in vehicles and stationary plants. Proposed solutions include: improve how cleanly a fuel must burn by 10 percent, tax dirty transportation fuels at the point of sale; retaining or modifying our existing utility power plant renewable energy portfolio standards; enact a state tax on carbon to generate additional government revenue; and enact a state carbon tax that is not meant to create additional government revenue and spending. In addition, Gov. Inslee’s favored solution is to create a new market specifically for carbon pollution. Set limits in the market for how much carbon an entity can emit. Beyond the set emission limit, the fossil fuel-burning entity must purchase credits for excess pollution. This is along the lines of California’s “cap
and trade” scheme. The work of sorting out the climate and emissions objectives and solutions has grown. I think it is important to understand the idea of collecting revenue, and promptly giving it back. The idea is to have accurate price signals in the marketplace — not added revenue. We need price signals that mirror the true cost of burning fossil fuel. Republicans see some logic in this; they want to let markets — not government — do the work. Republicans favor avoiding additional tax burden. Using accurate price signals, fossil fuel consumption would slow, while boosting clean energy technology and markets. First collect the carbon tax revenue, and then … um, give it all back? Yes — this is exactly what is proposed in a “revenue-neutral carbon tax.” It’s what British Columbia has been doing for several years when it uses carbon tax revenue to offset existing taxes.

IN OUR VIEW | State funding of K-12 schools
With a transportation package provided a good start, the Legislature soon can begin to turn its attention to education and satisfy the state’s residents and its Supreme Court that it will fulfill its “paramount duty” under the constitution and fully fund basic K-12 education. And just as compromise was necessary in crafting the Senate’s transportation package, with Republicans warming to a gas tax increase and Democrats agreeing to live with labor and sales tax reforms, similar compromise will be necessary regarding education funding. Simply put, it’s not going to come without a tax increase or a new tax, and that’s regardless of how legislators address I-1351’s requirement to reduce class sizes. If the Legislature is going

A revenue-neutral tax or fee option is our best shot at garnering bipartisan support to slow emissions problems and reduce fossil fuel dependency. Republicans and Democrats in our state are proposing climate and emissions solutions. More solutions are coming. Let’s evaluate cost benefit of solutions. But, let’s be mindful of what we can actually agree upon. We have solutions to implement. Lee James of Coupeville represents the area chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby.
Spending less, saving more: Is that so wrong?
A
new report on consumer spending shows that consumers are not spending. Economists thought that the savings from cheaper gasoline — hundreds of dollars a year for most — would be hauled to the stores. But non-gasoline retail spending didn’t budge last month, flat after falling a bit in December, according to the Commerce Department. The strengthening job market and expected wage gains should also be making American shoppers FROMA HARROP feel more exuberant, but no. That’s a concern There’s a in a country where sense that consumer spending the consumer accounts culture has for twothirds of the been a con job, economy. epitomized Here’s my explanation by the sucker for what’s happening. punch of last There’s been decade’s real a growing aversion to estate bubble the shopping way of (and attendant life. There’s mortgage a sense that the scams). consumer culture has been a con job, epitomized by the sucker punch of last decade’s real estate bubble (and attendant mortgage scams). There’s also a feeling that one traditional motive for buying stuff — the competitive race to “keep up with the Joneses” — is futile. The famous 1 percent are pulling away so fast from the other 99 percent that there’s no point in trying. Even the “merely affluent” can’t compete. A study in Britain found that money only makes people happier when they have more than their neighbors. It’s more about social rank than the number of zeros behind one’s personal wealth. A millionaire feels poor in the presence of the super rich. Thus, the ever-inventive American culture has found a new way to rank people socially. More of us are replacing price tag display with the hip alternative of living in small spaces with fewer, but more curated, possessions. Rather than hire experts to make our closets accommodate more stuff, many are deciding to simply have less stuff. We are driving fewer miles, and many millennials are forgoing car ownership altogether. The Commerce Department reported that the personal savings rate rose to nearly 5 percent in December, up from 4.3 percent the month before. Interesting. The new social ranking system may be influencing some for whom the money race is theirs to win. The Wall Street Journal publishes a weekly section called Mansion, which centers on luxury real estate that tends to be enormous in size and astronomical in price. But in the aesthetic of minimalism chic, the architectural hulks — with their onyx bars, guest villas and ionized lap pools — seem dated. So the recent Mansion section had a feature on “little getaway houses,” small homes for those who live big. These were not your worn cabins in the woods but spectacular little places, often on lots with primo views. “Keep it simple,” said an investment manager who has a smallish house on the Maine coast — but owns several other homes, where the art is kept. Small, in this case 1,200 square feet, need not be inexpensive. The house is built on reinforced fiberglass piers that let the waves roll under it. Another small house, 1,000 square feet on Skagit County’s Padilla Bay, has a glass cover and hand-planed cedar floors. “The more intimate the house, the more it supports the need for connection,” said one of the proprietors. To keep some perspective on what constitutes small, note that families of six were quite content living year-round in their 800-square-foot Levittown houses. But one can appreciate the desire of the wealthy to escape their toad halls for some cozy time in a badger cottage. Many Americans of more modest means, however, are dispensing with the mansions altogether. You don’t feel behind in a race you don’t enter. And if these weakened material aspirations are here to stay, things won’t be looking good for the consumer economy. Froma Harrop’s email address is fharrop@gmail.com.

Monroe teen honored Monroe High School student Chawin Pathompornvivat has been named the Snohomish County NAACP student of the month for January. Pathompornvivat came from Thailand with his parents when he was 7 years old. The family ended up in Monroe to help with his uncle’s restaurant, Ben Jarong Thai. “I came to America not knowing any English and then I felt bad that I was lowest in class,” Pathompornvivat said. “So I tried very hard to get to the top of the class and challenge myself to see how much farther I can go. ... Now when I see people struggling, I try to help them.” Pathompornvivat volunteers at the Monroe Library and is a member of the National Technical Honor Society, which helps senior citizens with technical challenges. He is the captain of the cross country team. He has been accepted to the University of Washington this fall.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN
Vaccines: Both sides need to think straight By John Rosemond Tribune News Service
First, a full disclosure: I have been vaccinated against measles, mumps, diphtheria, rubella, whooping cough, smallpox and shingles and have had none of these maladies. At one time or another, my wife received all of these same vaccinations. Our kids were both immunized, and they have chosen to have their kids immunized. None of us has ever had an adverse reaction to a vaccination. The vaccination controversy currently raging in the USA demonstrates that it is possible to be intelligent, sane and irrational all at the same time. For example, I recently received an online article written by an obviously intelligent person who was ranting about the imminent possibility, as he sees it, that the government will mandate vaccinations. He refers to America as a “fascist state” and calls doctors who push for the vaccination of children “medical Satanists” who are “assaulting” children with “poisons.” His high school English teachers obviously never told him that name-calling and hyperbole obscure one’s point. (By the way, this brouhaha can be traced back to a fraudulent 1998 research paper whose author eventually lost his medical license.)
SUPER QUIZ Score 1 point for each correct answer on the Freshman Level, 2 points on the Graduate Level and 3 points on the Ph.D. Level. Subject: AMERICANA (e.g., Who are Malia and Sasha? Answer: Barack and Michelle Obama’s two daughters.) FRESHMAN LEVEL 1. For what role was Johnny Weissmuller famous? 2. On what TV series did you hear, “Just the facts, ma’am”? 3. His songs were popularized in the film “The Jazz Singer.” GRADUATE LEVEL 4. Whose body “lies a-mouldering in the grave”? 5. Who was nicknamed baseball’s “Mr. October”? 6. What soap is associated with
CLASSIC PEANUTS
On the other side of this debate are some equally irrational rants. The author of a recent opinion piece in USA Today asserted that (a) parents who refuse to vaccinate should go to jail and (b) vaccines are “safe and effective.” No, these parents should not go to jail. Last time I checked, America is not a fascist state. Parents have and should continue to have the right to refuse to vaccinate their children. Likewise, schools, being a public trust, should have the right to refuse admission to those kids. Furthermore, it is not true that vaccines are safe, unless one is speaking only relatively. As is the case with any drug or medical procedure, vaccines involve risks, even very serious ones. It is clear (to anyone who approaches this issue objectively), however, that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. The diseases I was vaccinated for as a child once caused a good amount of suffering and death. And indeed, there are confirmed tales of suffering and death associated with childhood vaccines, but they are few and far between and researchers have been unable to confirm cause-and-effect. Furthermore, nearly everything involves risk of some sort and degree. There is risk associated with swallowing food, but I highly recommend it nonetheless.
“It floats”? PH.D. LEVEL 7. He was the most famous exponent of ragtime music. 8. The only person to win the Grand Slam of golf events in the same calendar year. 9. What was called “Jewish penicillin”? ANSWERS: 1. Tarzan. 2. “Dragnet.” 3. Al Jolson. 4. John Brown’s. 5. Reggie Jackson. 6. Ivory soap. 7. Scott Joplin. 8. Bobby Jones. 9. Chicken soup (with matzo balls). SCORING: 18 points — congratulations, doctor; 15-17 points — honors graduate; 10-14 points — you’re plenty smart, but no grind; 4-9 points — you really should hit the books harder; 1-3 points — enroll in remedial courses immediately; 0 points — who reads the questions to you?

In 2012 (the last year for which statistics are available), the leading causes of death in children ages 1 through 4 were unintentional injury, congenital anomalies, malignant and benign neoplasms, homicide, heart disease, influenza, septicemia, cerebro-vascular problems and respiratory disease. The only reason measles, whooping cough, diphtheria and other childhood illnesses from years past are not on the list is vaccines. Many if not most of the injuries that are the leading cause of death in children ages 1 through 4 are from automobile crashes. How would parents who don’t allow vaccinations yet transport their kids in cars explain the inconsistency? Per year, a lot more kids drown than die of vaccination. I doubt there is anything approaching one-to-one correspondence between being anti-vaccine and anti-water-play. Parents who don’t allow vaccinations are well-intentioned, which proves that being well-intentioned and not thinking straight are not mutually exclusive. But then, people who suggest that doctors who advocate vaccinations are Satanists or that jail is the right place for antivaccination parents aren’t thinking straight either. These folks obviously deserve one another. Tribune Content Agency

Traumatic breakup leaves teen looking for a lifeline Dear Abby: I’m a 17-year-old girl who recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2½ years. During the time we were together we shared many experiences, including a miscarriage. Now he wants to be alone. He doesn’t want to date or have any relationship because he says he feels “love is different now.” I’m having a difficult time coping. I feel like I have been thrown away. I didn’t ask for such a serious commitment, but he made me believe. I am scared, depressed, anxious and no longer want to date because I don’t want to have any casual flings. My loyalty is literally killing me. I don’t know if I should change my preferences in life or learn to love me. I’m too young for this, right? — Teen In New York Dear Teen: No one is “old enough” to experience what you have and not come out of it without emotional bruises. Not knowing your former boyfriend, I’m reluctant to guess whether he is grieving the loss of the baby, or relieved that he isn’t going to have fatherhood thrust upon him and has run for the hills. But at least for the present, accept that the relationship is over and don’t blame yourself. You could benefit from talking to a counselor about everything you have been through. I agree you are not ready to date right now and, frankly, you shouldn’t until you are more healed emotionally. If you have older, experienced women in your life with whom you can talk, it’s important that you do. The feelings you are experiencing are normal under the circumstances, including your loss of selfesteem. I’m glad you have RIP HAYWIRE

the insight to realize that you need to learn to love yourself again before reentering the dating scene. Dear Abby: My 30-year-old daughter and 8-year-old granddaughter have moved back home. The house now holds four generations. It’s hard to keep everyone happy. My father and I are both years-long smokers, which is causing major problems. Neither of us wishes to quit, and we feel it is our right to do as we please in our own home. My daughter is constantly telling her daughter to tell us she doesn’t want to live here anymore because of the smoke. Abby, they asked to move in here. She lives here for nothing, and pays nothing for food or transportation. God forbid I ask her to do something around here to help out. Who’s right? — Smoker In Pennsylvania Dear Smoker: Let me put it this way. Your daughter is lucky to be living with you, thanks to your generosity. If she has a bone to pick with you, she should do it directly — not through her child. That said, because secondhand smoke isn’t healthy for children, out of love and consideration for your granddaughter, you and your father should consider designating a smoking room in your home and lighting up there, or smoking outside.

Series follows heroic woman’s journey
Three to read after ‘Fifty Shades’
By Frazier Moore Associated Press
“The Book of Negroes” tells the story of an 11-year-old girl kidnapped from West Africa in the 18th century who became a slave on a South Carolina plantation, an activist in New York City and a recipient of a harsh brand of freedom in Halifax before facing more peril on her return to Sierra Leone, then, arriving in England late in her life, being honored for her courage and ideals. Aminata Diallo is this singular champion, who in a stirring BET miniseries becomes the author of the real-life “Book of Negroes,” a historical document compiled in 1783 by order of the British military at the end of the Revolutionary War. It chronicles some 3,000 blacks who during the war had served the King of England, not the colonists, and were thus allowed to flee to Canada where they could find the freedom they wouldn’t have been granted in the newly independent United States.
Aunjanue Ellis and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a scene from “The Book of Negros,” a six-part miniseries starting at 8 p.m. Monday on BET.
Adapted from the 2007 novel by Lawrence Hill titled “Someone Knows My Name” (published outside the U.S. as “The Book of Negroes”), the epic miniseries airs in two-hour installments on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. Its cast includes Cuba Gooding, Jr., Louis Gossett,
BET
Jr., Lyriq Bent as a fellow slave and Aminata’s true love for a lifetime, Jane Alexander, and Shailyn Pierre-Dixon as the teenage Aminata. But “The Book of Negroes” stars Aunjanue Ellis, who portrays Aminata from ages 20 through 57 in an impressive and developing performance.
“In those 37 years, she goes through a heckuva lot,” says Ellis with a laugh of wry understatement. Ellis herself went through a heckuva lot in this portrayal. Known from “The Help,” “Ray,” “Get On Up” and her recurring role on CBS’ “The Mentalist,” she depicted numerous phases of her character during a breakneck threemonth shoot in South Africa as well as Halifax and Toronto. Adding to the challenge: The project was shot out of sequence. “There were days when I was 20 in the morning and 50 in the afternoon,” says Ellis, adding, “Aminata was a woman who faced many tragedies and disruptions throughout her life. I had to really work hard on emotional modulation in the sense that every tragedy cannot be met with the same emotion: How you react to something in your early 20s isn’t how you react in your 40s — you hopefully have grown. And if the viewers get used to your response from scene to scene, you will lose them.”
At the start of Jennifer Probst’s “The Marriage Bargain” (2012), bookstore owner Alexa McKenzie needs money to save her business. Her best friend’s older brother, Nick Ryan, is more than happy to give her a hand in exchange for one simple thing: marriage. Bella Andre’s “I Love How You Love Me” (2014) pairs another exceedingly wealthy, successful hero with a down-on-her-luck heroine. When single mom and freelance journalist Grace Adrian is assigned to write a piece on recluse Dylan Sullivan, sparks fly. In Lisa Kleypas’s “Love in the Afternoon” (2010), Capt. Christopher Phelan begins trading letters with his fiance, discovering that she is as brilliant and kind as she is beautiful. But his correspondent is actually Beatrix Hathaway, the animal-loving oddity he barely remembers. The Washington Post

TODAY - 2PM
Today is Monday, Feb. 16, the 47th day of 2015. There are 318 days left in the year. This is Presidents Day. Today’s highlight: On Feb. 16, 1945, American troops landed on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines during World War II. On this date: In 1804, Lt. Stephen Decatur led a successful raid into Tripoli Harbor to burn the U.S. Navy frigate Philadelphia, which had fallen into the hands of pirates during the First Barbary War. In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson in Tennessee ended as some 12,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered; Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s victory earned him the nickname “Unconditional Surrender Grant.” In 1868, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was organized in New York City.
In 1923, the burial chamber of King Tutankhamen’s recently unearthed tomb was unsealed in Egypt by English archaeologist Howard Carter. In 1937, Dr. Wallace H. Carothers, a research chemist for Du Pont who’d invented nylon, received a patent for the synthetic fiber. In 1959, Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba a month and a-half after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista. In 1968, the nation’s first 911 emergency telephone system was inaugurated in Haleyville, Alabama. In 1988, seven people were shot to death during an office rampage in Sunnyvale, California, by a man obsessed with a coworker who was wounded in the attack. (The gunman, Richard Farley, is on death row.) Associated Press

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: This will be a great year for educational pursuits. Whether you learn on the job, online or in a classroom, the knowledge you gain will help you make headway in a direction that offers greater satisfaction mentally, physically and financially. Your numbers are 2, 6, 13, 21, 35, 39, 44. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let your emotions take over. Productivity will be the name of the game, so stay focused and do a good job. Spend time helping people in need, not those who are in competition with you. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will discover valuable information that can save you from making a big mistake. Overdoing and overspending must be controlled. A positive change will be successful if developed and executed in secrecy. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Demands will be made, but that doesn’t mean you have to oblige. Consider what’s being asked of you and whether or not it is something you want to do. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Focus on personal changes that encourage you to feel better and boost your confidence. Implementing a unique or creative edge to whatever job you do will separate you from any competition. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you want to make a change, consider what skills or knowledge you will need in order to reach your goal. Connect through networking events that deal with the industry that interests you. ���

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put greater importance on partnerships and working alongside people who enhance and contribute to your plans. A change in financial standing or dealing with a legal concern must be handled cautiously. ����� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Making alterations to the way you live based on your needs will be beneficial. Don’t hesitate to follow your dreams and reach out to people from your past who can help you get ahead now. ����� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t feel the need to make decisions before you are ready to do so. Work on projects or activities that allow you to use your creative imagination to avoid a situation that leads to unnecessary excess. �� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen and you will detect if anyone is trying to lead you astray. Stay on top of matters involving other people to avoid being taken advantage of. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t make impulsive decisions. Use your insight and intuition to guide you financially. An emotional matter will escalate if you are too pushy. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can make positive professional changes if you use discipline, knowledge, past experiences and connections to help you advance. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t stop offering suggestions to others. It’s how you deal with others that will make a difference. Your intuition will lead you in the right direction, so follow your heart and do what comes naturally. ���� Universal Uclick

Ex-AquaSox Sanchez in criticial condition 20-year-old Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez, who pitched for the Everett AquaSox in 2012, “is fighting for his life” after being struck in the head by a boat while swimming off a beach in Venezuela. By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
Reports from Venezuela say Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez is “fighting for his life” after being struck in the head by a boat Friday while swimming off a beach at Carupano on the country’s northern central coast. Sanchez, 20, remains in “c r i t i c a l ” A look at condition, the Mariners according to Dr. starting rotation, C3 Rolando Cobis in a story appearing on lavinotino.com. The website said Cobis performed surgery Saturday on Sanchez to treat a fractured skull. Cobis told lavintino.com that Sanchez was “critical but stable” condition and characterized the pitcher as being in “vital” danger and “still fighting for his life.” The Mariners, in part due to federal health (HIPAA) reporting laws, have only confirmed Sanchez, a right-hander, was involved in an accident and taken to a hospital for treatment. Sanchez, a Venezuelan native, signed with the Mariners as a 16-year-old in 2011 for a $2.5 million bonus. He was 7-6 with a 4.19 ERA last season at DoubleA Jackson before making seven starts for Caracas in the Venezuelan Winter League. Sanchez pitched for the Everett AquaSox in 2012. He was 6-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 15 games.

Huskies lose 7th straight The News Tribune
SEATTLE — So dismal are the current circumstances surrounding the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team that its coach, Lorenzo Romar, is now focused on helping his players rediscover hope. Not hope of playing in the NCAA tournament, a goal now unattainable. Not hope of finishing with a winning Pac-12 record, now a mathematical impossibility. But simply hope of winning a game, any game, before their current losing streak consumes what’s left of this miserable, ill-fated season. “With three weeks left,” Romar said, “(and) five games left on our schedule, we have to make sure that we can find where that hope is.” That won’t be a fun search. The count of consecutive UW losses is now at seven after Arizona State slashed and rebounded its

forward Jernard Jarreau, who is expected back next week — and its interior defense and ability to box out have suffered as a result. So there was Gerry Blakes, ASU’s leading scorer, mixing successful dribble-drives with deft jumpers. He scored a game-high 23 points. And there was 6-foot-6 forward Savon Goodman, whom the Huskies simply could not handle, collecting 13 rebounds — seven off ASU’s own misses — and scoring 19 points. “Some of the things that are happening,” Romar said, “are unacceptable.” Overall, ASU (13-12, 5-7 in Pac-12) outrebounded the Huskies 44-26, and shot 49.1 percent from the field compared to just 37.9 percent for UW (14-11, 3-10). “We’ve got to find our man when the ball goes up,” said senior forward Shawn Kemp Jr., who grabbed a season-best eight
PULLMAN — Arizona jumped all over Washington State and the Cougars couldn’t recover. Brandon Ashley, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Kaleb Tarczewski each scored 17 points as Arizona routed Washington State 86-59 on Sunday night. T.J. McConnell added 14 points for Arizona (22-3, 10-2 Pacific 12), which plays WSU only once this season. The Wildcats led by 34 points after the first half, but were outscored by the Cougars in the second. “We had a tremendous first half,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “We did what we needed to do in the second half. We weren’t going to beat them by 30 in the second half.” Dexter Kernich-Drew scored 20 points and DaVonte Lacy scored 18 for Washington State (11-14, 5-8), which was coming off a win over Arizona State on Thursday. The Cougars were done in by woeful shooting in the first half. “Our first half defensive performance says a lot about our defense,” Miller said. Ashley and Tarczewski “together had one of their best nights,” Miller said. “They really set the tone.” Hollis-Jefferson, meanwhile, added 10 rebounds and made 8 of 9 from the field. McConnell said it was difficult to maintain intensity when the

Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder scored 41 points to lead the West to a 163-158 victory over the East in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.
Westbrook is All-Star MVP By Mike Bresnahan Los Angeles Times
NEW YORK — After all the strange things happening to the underwhelming Oklahoma City Thunder, their fans could finally pull their hands away from their eyes. Thunder guard Russell Westbrook scored the second-most points in All-Star game history as the Western Conference held off the East 163-158. Westbrook had 41 points, one fewer than Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 and one more than Michael Jordan in 1988. He was an easy choice for Most Valuable Player at Madison Square Garden. It was Westbrook’s game from the time he stepped on the court midway through the first quarter. By the time he sat down 11 minutes later, he had 27 points on 11-for-15 shooting, an AllStar record for points in a half. “Westbrook came at it from the start,” said LeBron James, who had 30 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the East. “He’s an unbelievable talent in our league.” Not that there was exemplary defense. For the second year in a row,
there was an All-Star record for combined points, the teams’ 323 topping last year’s 318. Before that, the record was a mere 303 in 1987. Still, Westbrook made five of nine three-point attempts and found plenty of other ways to score, including two dunks off alley-oop passes from Chris Paul. Paul also found him for a dunk off an inbounds play, not that Westbrook didn’t create plays on his own, including a dunk off a third-quarter steal. Westbrook made 16 of 28 shots and added five rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes. He was within three points of tying Chamberlain with just under a minute left, but James Harden dribbled the ball too much up top and the West was called for a shot-clock violation. On the West’s next possession, Paul’s running jumper was off the mark. Westbrook didn’t show any disappointment, even though he knew he was close to the alltime mark. “Somebody told me, but at that time we were just trying to find a way to win the game and find a way to close the game
out,” he said. “But I missed about six or seven layups. I definitely could have had it.” Westbrook’s final points were two free throws with one second left after being fouled on purpose as the East tried to get the ball back. The night was a welcome change for Thunder followers, who had seen their team limp to a 28-25 record at the break, almost entirely because Kevin Durant missed 27 games with injuries. It was also a great weekend for former UCLA players. Zach LaVine won the dunk competition Saturday and Westbrook followed it up with his Sunday effort. Had the East won, there might have been a case to give the MVP to James, who moved into second place in career All-Star scoring, passing Michael Jordan (262 points) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (251 points). He now has 278 points, only two behind Kobe Bryant. Kyle Korver was second-best on the East with 21 points, all from three-point range. Harden had a solid stat line for the West: 29 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
battle 44-23 and outscored the Cougars in the paint 46-12. The Wildcats came out strong in the first half and took control early. McConnell had five points as the Wildcats jumped to an 18-8 lead over the cold-shooting Cougars. Consecutive dunks by Ashley put Arizona up 26-12 at the midpoint of the first. Washington State made only 6 of 17 shots to open the game, and then got worse. Hollis-Jefferson had six points and Tarczewski scored and hit three free throws during a 15-0 run that put Arizona ahead 41-13. Washington State was scoreless for more than six minutes and its shooting percentage dropped into the 20s. Washington State went more than eight minutes without a field goal before Que Johnson hit a short jumper to cut Arizona’s lead to 44-16. But Ashley, who had 13 points in the first, replied with a basket
immediately to push Arizona’s lead to 30 points. Arizona led 53-19 at halftime, after shooting 60 percent and out-rebounding the Cougars 30-9. Washington State shot just 27 percent in the first half, and the shooting woes were universal as they made just 1 of 11 3-pointers and 2 of 6 free throws. Both teams shot well in the second half. Lacy made his first two field goals of the game to open the second half, but Arizona kept scoring. McConnell hit a 3-pointer and followed with a steal and layup for a 61-25 lead. Kernich-Drew sank four 3-pointers for WSU early in the second half, but the Cougars still trailed by 28. Arizona immediately pushed its lead back over 30, and the Cougars could not reduce the margin much despite shooting 63.6 percent in the second half. Arizona shot 53.8 percent in the second half.

Source: Yankees to retire Pettitte’s uniform No. 46 Herald news services NEW YORK — A person familiar with the decision confirms the New York Yankees plan to honor Andy Pettitte this summer by retiring his No. 46 and giving the pitcher a plaque in Monument Park. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the team had not yet made an announcement, which was expected in the next few days. Pettitte’s son, Josh, posted the news on Twitter earlier Sunday and said Andy Pettitte day at Yankee Stadium will be Aug. 23, when New York plays the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees are also likely to retire Bernie Williams’ No. 51 and Jorge Posada’s No. 20 in the future, according to a source. Pettitte helped the Yankees win five World Series championships. He ranks third in team history with 219 wins and first in strikeouts with 2,020. The left-hander retired in 2013 after spending 15 of his 18 major league seasons in pinstripes. A three-time All-Star, Pettitte was MVP of the 2001 AL Championship Series and owns big league postseason records for wins (19) and starts (44). Last year, Joe Torre’s No 6 was retired, while Tino Martinez and Paul O’Neil were honored in Monument Park.

Wildcats were up by 30 points. “They started hitting shots in the second half that they did not make in the first,” McConnell said. “We were giving them open shots.” Washington State coach Ernie Kent said Arizona’s talent and skill level were too much. “We weren’t making shots. We couldn’t keep up with the pace of the game,” Kent said. “We couldn’t handle what they came at us with.” Washington State outscored the Wildcats 40-33 in the second half, with Kernich-Drew scoring 17 of his points in the final 20 minutes. “Dexter Kernich-Drew played with tremendous confidence,” Kent said. Arizona has won two straight after being upset by Arizona State. Arizona won the rebound

rebounds. “We’ve got to see who our man is, we’ve got to box out and go to the ball.” Still, Washington led, 60-55, with 7:42 to play after Nigel Williams-Goss scored, was fouled and made the ensuing free throw. On this day, that was as good as the Huskies had it. Blakes immediately drove to the rim and scored. Twenty-six seconds later, he tied the score with a 3-pointer from the left corner. And after UW junior guard Andrew Andrews made a pullup jumper, Blakes drew a foul and made a pair of free-throws, then assisted on a 3-pointer by former Kentridge High School star Shaquielle McKissic, and Washington didn’t lead again. After that 60-55 deficit, ASU ended the game on a 23-8 run. UW’s only field goal in the final
4:49 was a meaningless bucket by Williams-Goss with 29 seconds left. Earlier this season, when the Huskies were winning and Upshaw was swatting shots and hope of the postseason very much existed, Romar proclaimed that after three seasons without an NCAA tournament appearance, “guys don’t want to be mediocre anymore.” They not only believed they could win, Romar said. They didn’t believe they could lose. “I’ve been in situations where teams kept winning and you just really feel like you can’t lose,” Romar said, “but then other situations, where it’s almost like an alarm goes off, ‘here it is. Here’s the crossroads in the game. Here’s the time where you’re going to win it or lose it.’ The alarm goes off. And sometimes teams don’t answer that alarm.” It’s been ringing since Jan. 22, when UW beat Colorado on a last-second jumper by
Andrews. By the time the Huskies play again — Feb. 22 at Washington State — an entire month will separate them from their last victory. “This is adversity, no question about it,” said Williams-Goss, who led UW with 20 points and six assists. “But at the end of the day, it’s only going to make all of us stronger. This season, as bad as it hurts, it’s not breaking us as people or as players.” It’s also not over. “It’s a chicken before the egg deal,” Romar said. “We’ve got to win to start believing we can win again.” He said the Huskies will take Monday and Tuesday off because they play only one game this week, on Sunday at Washington State. When they return to practice on Wednesday, “we have to have a certain amount of humility to know that unless we’re all focused and all there, it’s hard to win games.”
Plum leads UW to 79-67 win over Colorado Herald news services BOULDER, Colo. — Kelsey Plum had 28 points on Sunday as Washington defeated Colorado 79-67 in a Pac-12 women’s basketball game. Chantel Osahor added 16 points while Aminah Williams and Jazmine Davis had 13 each. Plum shot 7 of 21 from the field but made 4 of 7 3-point shots along with 10 of 10 from the freethrow line.

Gordon wins pole for final Daytona 500 of his career
GOLF | Roundup
Snedeker breaks own record, wins at Pebble Beach Associated Press
By Jenna Fryer Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The qualifying session for NASCAR’s biggest race of the year was lambasted by Tony Stewart as “a complete embarrassment” and called a “cute show” by Clint Bowyer. The frenetic knockout format ended with Jeff Gordon on the pole for the final Daytona 500 of his career. And as NASCAR executive vice president Steve O’Donnell tried to answer to the wave of displeasure from the drivers after Sunday’s session, he was reminded by Gordon himself what a predicament the series is in regarding qualifying for “The Great American Race.” “Great format, Steve!” Gordon shouted to O’Donnell from the back of a news conference room. Indeed, Gordon had no qualms with qualifying after he and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson outsmarted the field Sunday to sweep the front row for the Daytona 500. They were among only a handful of drivers who were pleased with the format, and their opinion was most certainly based on the end result. “This format is crazy and chaotic,” Gordon said. “It can be extremely rewarding when you have a day like we had.” NASCAR abandoned singlecar qualifying runs, the format used for 56 years at Daytona International Speedway, for the knockout group sessions it adopted last season. The format was not tried at the Daytona 500 last year, but was used at the speedway in July. The group qualifying works fine at most racetracks, but has been proven tricky at Daytona and Talladega, where drivers must draft and the leader is not the fastest car. It’s led to strategies that have drivers sitting on pit road watching the clock, and jockeying for position when it’s time to go. After a five-car accident in the first group of 25 drivers, Bowyer railed against using knockouts to set the Daytona 500 field. Reigning champion Kevin Harvick and Stewart both vented via Twitter, while Ryan Newman was among the many drivers critical of NASCAR. “It’s hard to stand behind NASCAR when everybody I talk to up and down pit road doesn’t understand why we’re doing this,” Newman said. “Maybe I need to be sat down and educated a little bit.” But the 12 drivers who made it into the final round weren’t really complaining, especially Gordon, who announced last month this will be his final full-time season as driver of the famed No. 24 Chevrolet. Gordon was the first pole winner to eclipse 200 mph since 1987. His pole-winning speed was 201.293, but gained because he was being pushed by Johnson rather than running a lap around the speedway alone. The group qualifying was messy from the start, when the first 25 drivers all jockeyed for position before they even left pit road. Some even drove through the grass to get through the traffic jam. It stuck Bowyer behind Reed Sorenson, a driver who needed a big run Sunday to lock himself into the field. So Sorenson tried to block Bowyer in a desperation attempt to advance through the knockout rounds and it triggered a five-car pileup. Both Bowyer and Sorenson ended up with a pair of wrecked Toyotas. It was Sorenson’s only car of Speedweeks, and he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to locate another car before Thursday’s qualifying races. Bowyer, who angrily gestured inside Sorenson’s window after the wreck, was seething. He placed the blame squarely on NASCAR for scrapping singlecar qualifying runs in favor of the more exciting knockout rounds. “It’s NASCAR’s fault for putting us out in the middle of this for nothing,” Bowyer said. “We used to come down here and worry about who would sit on the front row in the biggest race of the year. Now all we do is come down here and worry about how a start-andpark like this out of desperation is going to knock us out of the Daytona 500.”

Rotation is M’s strength By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
PEORIA, Ariz. — Ready to talk some ball? This is the first of a five-part positional preview on the Seattle Mariners. Today we take a look at the rotation. It figures to be one of the club’s top strengths. Fronted by long-time ace Felix Hernandez, the unit posted the American League’s third-best earned run average even though Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker opened the season on the disabled list. And James Paxton missed four months because of a strained back muscle. Veteran right-hander Chris Young, the AL’s comeback player-of-the-year, departed through free agency. But the Mariners replaced him by acquiring left-hander J.A. Happ from Toronto in a trade for outfielder Michael Saunders. The rotation is deep and balanced and offers a nice blend of proven veterans and highceiling youngsters who have already logged big-league time. It’s a nice mix.
The locks Manager Lloyd McClendon says he views the rotation as having just one opening. He also says Happ will be in the unit. That sets up a front four of Hernandez, Paxton, Iwakuma and Happ. The guess here is Paxton draws the No. 2 slot over Iwakuma in order to provide the Mariners with a right-left-rightleft balance. If Paxton stays healthy, and the others pitch to career norms, it should be a formidable unit.

Elias pitched well last season as a rookie making the jump from Double-A Jackson and would, on many other clubs, slot as a lock into the middle of the rotation. But Walker has long been viewed as the organization’s top pitching prospect and flashed signs last September of realizing that potential. A point to note: Erasmo Ramirez is still just 24, but he’s out of options. It’s hard to see him cracking the rotation, barring multiple injuries, but he’s also unlikely to clear waivers. He could be a candidate for a

long relief job.
Help if needed Since either Walker or Elias will likely open at TripleA Tacoma, the rotation can absorb one major injury. (Yes, Hernandez would be particularly hard to replace.) Club officials are anxious to get a look at lefty Danny Hultzen, who appears healthy after missing must of the last two years because of major shoulder problems. Hultzen will, almost certainly, be on an inningslimit this season, but if he approaches his pre-injury form — he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft, remember — he could provide a downthe-stretch boost.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Coming off the worst season of his career, Brandt Snedeker’s mission was to become relevant again. He was eligible for only one major and none of the World Golf Championships, and he hated the idea of the world’s best players competing without him. That’s what made Sunday at Pebble Beach so sweet. The view walking up the 18th fairway was spectacular for so many reasons. Snedeker polished off a week that was close to perfect on the Monterey Peninsula by closing with 5-under 67 for a three-shot victory over Nick Watney. With only one bogey all week — yes, that still gnaws at him — Snedeker broke his own scoring record in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. “It was an emotional win for me today because it’s been a long time coming,” Snedeker said. “The last year-and-a-half has not been up to my standard.” Once he took the lead for good on the par-5 sixth hole after Watney’s worst swing of the week — a 4-iron into Stillwater cover — Snedeker pulled away by leaving the mistakes to everyone else. He finished at 22-under 265, breaking by two shots the record he set two years ago at Pebble Beach, and by two shots the winning score under par held by Phil Mickelson (2007) and Mark O’Meara (1997). It was the seventh win of his career, his second title in three years at Pebble Beach, and the timing could not have been better for Snedeker. He’s back in the Masters. The victory moved him to No. 31 in the world, which should put him in all the WGC events, starting with Doral in three weeks. “It’s nice to be back in those tournaments,” Snedeker said. “I can set my schedule a little bit. And all the hard work I’ve done the last year is paying off now. I know this is a great week, but I look forward to parlaying this week into more weeks coming up and keep this momentum going.” Watney opened with four straight birdies, but three bogeys in a five-hole stretch at the turn cost him. He rallied with a pair of birdies for a 69 to secure second place.
Janzen wins playoff NAPLES, Fla. — Lee Janzen birdied his final hole to get into a playoff, then beat Bart Bryant to win the Ave Group Classic. Janzen forced the playoff with an 8-foot putt on No. 18. He then watched Bryant put his approach into the water on the extra hole. Janzen put his second shot on the green, two-putted and won the Champions Tour event.
Oh wins Aussie Ladies Masters GOLD COAST, Australia — South Korean-born Australian teenager Su Oh shot a 4-under 69 to win the Australian Ladies Masters by three strokes in only her second start as a professional. Oh, the co-leader after the first round, finished with a 7-under total of 285 on the Royal Pines resort course, making birdies on her final four holes. Katherine Kirk of Australia and Florentyna Parker each shot 69s while Parker’s English countrywoman Charley Hull, one of the overnight leaders, had a closing 73. They all finished tied for second.
Kovar growing up fast as second-year Sounder By Don Ruiz The News Tribune
TUKWILA — You can tell that Seattle midfielder Aaron Kovar is growing up fast: On Saturday, he referred to Sounders rookies Darwin Jones and Cristian Roldan as “kids.” Kovar is 21 and all the way up to his second professional season — although coach Sigi Schmid notes that is a significant step. “I think second camp is always a little bit easier than first camp,” Schmid said. “You have a better idea of what you need to do it and how you need to apply yourself. So, I think he’s done all right.” Last year at this time, Kovar and Sean Okoli were being welcomed as the Sounders second and third homegrown players, following DeAndre Yedlin. Yedlin has since transferred to Tottenham Hotspur
of the English Premier League. Additional homegrowns have been added in Jones and Victor Mansaray. However, Kovar also got a taste of the sometimes-cold professional game last month when Okoli’s rights were sent to New England in a draft-day trade. “It caught me off guard a little bit,” Kovar said. “But at the end of the day, it’s a profession. Sean’s a great player. He’s going to do good things over there, too. This kind of thing happens all the time. The only difference is I guess in my kind of class — DeAndre, Sean, Darwin — we’ve been together for so long: since we were middle schoolers. So I guess that’s the only difference. But I’ve talked to him. He’s happy now. He’s going to do well over there, so I’m not worried about him at all.” Kovar’s first professional
season consisted of just 25 minutes of play with the first team: three appearances with no starts. Part of his preparation for this season included a couple of weeks training with English second-division club Sheffield Wednesday. “I really enjoyed it,” he said. “The weather wasn’t great, which was a bummer: I was supposed to play in a game against Burnley on the last day, but there was too much snow. But it was great. ... It was challenging, but it really made me appreciate MLS, honestly. I think this league might not get the respect it might deserve. It made me really appreciate home, and appreciate the new experience.”
Off to Arizona The Sounders concluded another phase of local training Saturday with an 11-on-11 scrimmage at Starfire Sports
Complex. “It was good for our fitness to run around,” Schmid said. “There were some good moments. It was a scrappy game. Sometimes there’s good things you saw in some players, and some players obviously there are some things we’d like to see a little better. I thought there were some good goals. There were some good opportunities we need to take maybe a little bit better. But overall I thought it was a good exercise.” On Sunday, the team flew to Arizona for two weeks of training and four games in the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson. Seattle’s first match comes at 7 p.m. Wednesday against host club FC Tucson of the Premier Development League. The Sounders return home March 1 to begin game-week preparations for their MLS opener: March 8 against New England at CenturyLink Field.
