Learning curve for district Student enrollment numbers that exceeded all estimates leave Everett Public Schools officials pondering budget, facilities and bond plans. By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Enrollment in Everett Public Schools last fall turned out to be higher than all previous estimates led district officials to believe. The growth is surprising,

according to a report from a consultant hired by the district to track and project enrollment. In October 2014, there were 401 more students in the district than the previous year. It was the biggest increase in all of Snohomish County. Added together, there were only 85

more students in the county’s 14 school districts. Everett’s disproportionate gain, mostly in the south part of the district, is adding new urgency to plans for the coming school year. There is now a proposal to shift school boundaries, to move between 125-150 students from overcrowded Woodside Elementary to less-overcrowded Silver Lake Elementary. Woodside’s October

enrollment was 800 students, well more than the 564 students the school was built for. “It doesn’t make the pain of growth go away, but it provides a more equitable distribution of pain,” said Mike Gunn, the district’s executive director of facilities and operations. The boundary adjustment area encompasses a narrow strip See CURVE, back page, this section

Dispute a minor pain on docks Delayed ship traffic was the only downside at Everett’s port, which remained busy with its specialty: odd-sized cargo. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The labor dispute that clogged major West Coast ports barely affected the Port of Everett, which moves much less cargo than the state’s two biggest seaports — Tacoma and Seattle. The major issue here was “working with ships delayed” at other West Coast ports, said David Madill, marine terminal director for the Port of Everett. Cargo Most major ships, West Coast especially ports return to normal container operations, A7 vessels, are tightly scheduled, so a delay in one port quickly ripples through the system, he said. “They were behind even before they would get here.” The contract dispute between the International Longshoremen’s Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the shippers and terminal owners — represented by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) — has caused cargo to pile up on the docks of major ports including Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland in California, and Tacoma and Seattle. The Port of Everett, which specializes in large and odd-sized cargo called break bulk, didn’t feel the effects, though. From November through January, the port handled far more containers and

Assault charge for shooting at indoor pot farm ARLINGTON — A man who broke up a heist at his son’s indoor marijuana plantation nearly two years ago is now facing a felony assault charge. Prosecutors say that Carmen Scoleri, 65, was outside his legal rights when he shot one of the fleeing burglars from behind. Scoleri allegedly fired a shotgun at the retreating man, striking him in the legs. The impact broke

bones, and the man was in wheelchair for about a year, according to Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson. Dickinson recently charged Scoleri with second-degree assault. The Arlington man is scheduled to be in court next month to answer to the charge. The incident happened during the summer of 2013 along Carpenter Road. The man who was injured is homeless and lives outside Snohomish County. It took time to track him down to ask if

Police reports say the man and about seven others were recruited to break into Shawn Scoleri’s marijuana growing operation.

The mastermind behind the heist at Scoleri’s grow was a former associate who felt he had been wronged and was out to get revenge, Dickinson wrote in court papers.

Study: Frequent saunas can benefit men Shoot Los Angeles Times Here’s a bit of good news for folks who enjoy sitting in a super-heated room and sweating profusely: Finnish researchers say regular sauna bathing may help men to live longer. The study, which was published Monday in JAMA, is the latest in a series of papers to explore the potential cardiovascular health benefits of “chilling out” in a room heated to 174-degrees Fahrenheit. “Our results suggest that sauna bathing is a recommendable health habit,” wrote Dr. Jari Laukkanen, a cardiologist at the Institute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition, University of Eastern Finland. The only catch is, nobody can explain why this is the case. “Further studies are warranted to establish the potential mechanism that links sauna bathing and cardiovascular health” wrote Laukkanen and his colleagues. The researchers based

cargo tonnage than it had 12 months prior. It moved 56 percent more containers and 63 percent more tonnage, according to data from Port of Everett reports. February’s numbers are not available yet, but will probably show an increase over last year, Madill said. In Everett in 2013, the port’s 44 registered longshoremen earned a total of more than $4.5 million in wages. That is average wages of $103,831, based

their conclusion on a database of 2,315 Finnish men who have had their health tracked since 1984. Study participants were all aged 42 to 60, with a median age of 53. Those men who enjoyed a sauna two or three times a week had a 23 percent lower risk of experiencing a fatal episode of coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease, compared with those who took just one sauna a week, according to researchers. The apparent health benefits for men who used the sauna four to seven times a week was even greater: They had a 48 percent lower risk of similar incidents when compared with men who used the sauna only once a week, researchers said. “The higher frequency of sauna bathing was related to considerable decreased risks of sudden cardiac death, fatal coronary heart disease, fatal cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality,” the authors wrote. The researchers said a similar health benefit was

on data from the PMA. The two sides began discussing a new contract in May. The previous agreement, negotiated in 2008, expired at the beginning of July. Work didn’t stop on the docks, but by November, shippers and terminal owners started accusing the longshoremen of a work slowdown. Earlier this month employers cut night, weekend and holiday shifts, saying workers were conducting a strike without pay. Longshoremen denied the accusations, and said the owners were responsible for any dockside congestion. Only one Everett ship, the Westwood Cascade,

“Previous studies have suggested that sauna bathing might have some harmful effects, whereas our results indicated a protective effect,” the authors wrote. The researchers noted that only 1 percent to 2 percent of sudden deaths occurred within 24 hours of sauna bathing. Alcohol intake was a major contributing factor in those cases, authors wrote. In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, speculated on a number of possible reasons for the benefits. “Although we do not know why the men who took saunas more frequently had greater longevity (whether it is the time spent in the hot room, the relaxation time, the leisure of a life that allows for more relaxation time, or the camaraderie of the sauna), clearly time spent in the sauna is time well spent,” Redberg wrote.

his cellphone, police said. The would-be burglars were pondering their next move when Scoleri pulled up to the house. The men scattered, Dickinson wrote. Two jumped into a vehicle and headed for the driveway but Scoleri’s pickup was blocking their exit. The driver swerved into some brush, lost control and crashed into a fence. With their getaway car wrecked, the men made a run for it. Prosecutors allege that Scoleri shot one of the men as he was running away. The man, severely injured, collapsed. Scoleri reportedly walked up to the man, 48, and asked, “How does it feel to get shot?” Scoleri drove off in his pickup without calling 911, Dickinson said. A neighbor who heard the commotion called 911. Police found the wounded man lying on the ground. The officers rounded up several other would-be thieves hiding in the woods and brush. While they were investigating, Scoleri’s attorney called prosecutors and arranged for him to surrender. He drove back to the marijuana grow and was arrested. The wounded man was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he spent several weeks and underwent surgeries. Carmen Scoleri found himself on the wrong side of the law 15 years ago when he was caught up in an investigation into his son’s marijuana grow in Stanwood. Detectives found an elaborate grow operation. Shawn Scoleri told detectives he started growing marijuana after a bad business deal. Power lines had been diverted to provide stolen electricity to the grow. The account was in Carmen Scoleri’s name. He eventually pleaded guilty to soliciting marijuana, a gross misdemeanor. He avoided any jail time.

unlikely to be found in steam rooms and hot tubs, due to the unique conditions of Finnish saunas. A traditional Finnish sauna has dry air (10 percent to 20 percent humidity) and a recommended temperature of 176 degrees to 212 degrees. Humidity is increased temporarily by throwing water on the hot rocks of the sauna heater, and most Finns are accustomed to using a sauna once a week. On average, the men in the study used a sauna twice a week, at a temperature of about 174 degrees. The average time spent in the sauna was about 14 minutes, researchers say. The super-heated conditions provoke a variety of reactions. Heart rates can climb up to 150 beats per minute — similar to low- or moderate-intensity exercise — and sweat is secreted at a rate of about 2 pounds per hour. High temperatures also cause the body to flow more blood to the skin and less to internal organs.

Clues lead to arrest in alleged metal theft A trail of wire remnants led police to a stash of copper wire stolen from a PUD substation. Charges are pending against Gold Bar man and a Monroe man. By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MONROE — Whoever broke into a Snohomish County PUD substation last week left a generous trail of clues. Monroe police believe they

also were as punctual as they were predictable. As a result, they nabbed two suspects with stolen wire in the trunk of their car. Monroe police were called to the PUD substation Thursday morning to follow up on a

burglary report. A PUD employee escorted an officer to an empty recycling bin. It was within the confines of the chain-link fenced yard where live high-voltage wires pose the risk of electrocution. The recycling bin was empty. It had been full of wire scraps the night before. Stealing the wire was “not only illegal, but it’s not a very smart to do,” said Neil Neroutsos, a PUD spokesman.

The officer and PUD worker followed a path of dropped wire remnants through a gate and toward an access road and railroad tracks. The trail ended with a large pile of wire stashed in some blackberry bushes. Grass and sticks had been placed atop the pile for camouflage. The officer left it there, but returned around 6 p.m. as the sky grew dark. Fifteen minutes later, a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser drove down

the dead-end access road and pulled over near where the wire had been left. A few minutes later, the officer stopped the car as it was leaving the area. Police obtained a search warrant and found the stolen wire inside the trunk. The suspects are a Monroe man, 26, and a Gold Bar man, 44. “Charges are pending on both See METAL, Page A4

EDMONDS — Two contractors have been fined a total of $56,350 for alleged safety violations in the death of a worker at Swedish/ Edmonds hospital in August. The state Department of Labor & Industries on Monday made public its report on the death of 38-year-old Jason E. Vanlandingham. Vanlandingham, of Pierce County, was electrocuted Aug. 20 while working in a ditch as part of the hospital’s expansion project. Edmonds police also investigated. Their case was closed late last year when it was determined that no crime had occurred, Sgt. Mark Marsh said. The L&I report involves Hos Brothers Construction of Woodinville, fined $50,500, and Sellen Construction, of Seattle, fined $5,850. Hos Brothers Safety Director Kate Wicks on Monday said the company “vehemently disagrees with the citations.” “Since there is a formal appeal process, we have been advised to refrain from public comment regarding the basis for our appeal, but we would like to again express our condolences and support to the family of the deceased, Mr. Jason Vanlandingham,” she said in a prepared statement. Hos Brothers was fined for two reported willful violations and has been identified as a “severe violator” for workplace safety. That means additional

FurKidz 911 Connection steps in when pet owners are getting medical care By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Maria Cote has a new mission for her nonprofit. FurKidz 911 Connection is now providing foster care for dogs and cats when their owners are receiving inpatient medical care. The nonprofit started operating in 2009 as a rescue, mostly for dogs, and the occasional cat. More than 500 pets have been saved, Cote said. Cote, who also holds a job in

information technology, has multiple sclerosis. She said the rescue work was getting to be too much for her to handle. “It was a lot of work,” she said. She was going to close the nonprofit but decided to instead change the service it provides. Cote saw a need for a place to house dogs and cats while people are in the hospital or undergoing treatment for substance abuse. “I started asking around and I couldn’t find any programs like that in Washington state,” she said.

Cote now works with local hospitals and animal shelters to provide foster care for patients’ animals. Last week, the nonprofit took in two dogs for a Seattle man who needs to stay in the hospital for about a month. Cote said the man told her that without her help, his dogs could have ended up at an animal shelter. Now, Sophie, a shepherd-lab mix, is staying with her in Snohomish. Boomer, a yellow lab, is with a foster family in Shoreline. At first, Cote said, dogs can suffer from separation anxiety. It usually takes them a day or two

Hearing examiner: Shell oil project needs full review By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — A Skagit County hearing examiner handed conservation groups a victory Monday, ruling that an oil-by-rail project at the Shell Puget Sound Refinery near Anacortes should undergo a full environmental review. “Shell’s proposal is a major action significantly affecting the quality of the environment,” and a full review should be prepared,

Skagit County Hearing Examiner Wick Dufford said in Monday’s ruling. The review should take into account the potential risks of spills and explosions, the safety of railroad bridges and the impact of oil-train spills to sensitive natural areas such as Padilla Bay, Dufford wrote. Tom Rizzo, general manager for the Royal Dutch Shell PLC refinery, said in a statement the company was disappointed in the ruling and would decide its next

LOCAL BRIEFLY Father allegedly used stolen property for bail EVERETT — The parents of children rescued from squalid conditions in January pleaded not guilty Monday to multiple felony charges. Mark Dorson had bonded out of jail but was arrested at Monday’s hearing. It was alleged that he used a stolen telescope as collateral with a bail bonds company. The $3,000 telescope has since been returned to its owner. A judge ordered Dorson held on $100,000 bail. Prosecutors last week charged him and his girlfriend, Amanda Foley, with child abandonment and criminal mistreatment. They are accused of leaving three children, 7, 3 and 10 months, alone in a filthy house in Lake Stevens that later was deemed uninhabitable. A nurse reported that the youngest, who recently turned 1, was on the verge of kidney failure and so hypothermic that he could have died if he hadn’t received immediate care. Foley and Dorson, both 32, told detectives they left the children in the care of a neighbor. The woman denied that she was asked to baby-sit. She saw the couple leave two hours before Lake Stevens police arrived to investigate reports that the children may be in danger.

Granite Falls: Fatal crash victim ID’d as Arlington man Officials have identified a man who died in a crash near Granite Falls on Feb. 14 as Richard K. Erickson, 43, of Arlington. Erickson’s death was ruled an accident, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office The county sheriff’s office is investigating. Erickson apparently lost control while driving and struck a tree, according to police. The crash was reported just before 1 p.m. along the Mountain Loop Highway, about 3.5 miles east of Granite Falls.

Everett: Convicted murderer nabbed for parole violation A convicted murderer with a history of mental illness is back behind bars after being on the lam last week. Lowell Gene Lowe, 52, was arrested Saturday and booked into the Snohomish County Jail for a parole violation. He has been listed as a fugitive twice this year for failing to report to the state Department

of Corrections. Lowe is classified as a high risk to commit a new violent crime. He served more than 10 years in state prison for a seconddegree murder conviction. Since being freed in July 2013, Lowell has been jailed seven times for violating conditions of his release. Lowe had been drinking and using methamphetamine and was off medication for paranoid schizophrenia when he killed.

Probe continues in fatal crash Police are continuing to investigate a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian early Sunday morning. The incident was reported around 3:30 a.m. south of Union Slough along the southbound lanes of Highway 529. The man was believed to be about 50, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner is investigating the death. Details about the vehicle suspected of hitting the man were not available Monday, Snell said.

Edmonds: Five escape candle-sparked fire A fire at an Edmonds house Sunday night was started by a candle placed too close to clothing, investigators determined. No one was hurt. The fire was reported about 9:20 p.m. in the 17400 block of 69th Place W. The clothing ignited in a basement bedroom and caused more than $50,000 damage, said Leslie Hynes, spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 1. Five people who lived in the house got out safely. Crews also responded from Lynnwood.

Marysville: Police investigate reports of gunfire No one was hurt Monday after gunfire in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Marysville. Police are investigating reports of shots fired just after 3 p.m. in the 3600 block of 73rd Drive NE, Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said. No property was damaged. Officers believe a passenger in a car struck a handgun out a window and fired into the sky, Lamoureux said. The car was described as a white older model sedan with a rust-colored hood. Anyone who sees it should call 911. From Herald staff reports

can be hard to trace. In Snohomish County over the years, crooks have stolen church bells, funeral urns, bronze vases from grave sites, catalytic converters from cars, brass fittings for firefighting, sewer grates, manhole covers, copper cable wire used for Internet access and even a 3,121-pound propeller. Often, the damage left behind far exceeds the amount of money gained from a theft. In 2013, for instance, the PUD saw more than $117,000 in damage to equipment while the actual

value of the metal stolen was less than $1,000, Neroutsos said. The PUD has been increasing surveillance with cameras at many of its substations. Much of the fencing has been retrofitted with mini-mesh, making it harder to cut through. The PUD also is starting to use a copper weld wire that includes steel. That’s bad news for the thieves. “It makes it no value to a metal recycler since the copper cannot be separated from the steel,” Neroutsos said.

into the area, the state found. Vanlandingham died when the jackhammer he was operating came into contact with the buried power lines. That violation carried a $45,500 fine. Hos Brothers’ second violation, for $5,000, was for allegedly violating the state’s right to privately question those involved. The company hired a lawyer to represent employees, according to

the report. Sellen Construction, the general contractor, was cited for one serious violation related to the working environment it supervised for Hos Brothers employees. That also involved a lack of monitoring of live underground power lines. Sellen did not immediately return calls on Monday. The two companies have until mid-March to appeal.

The kits include FurKidz T-shirts, coloring books, treats and other items. “We’re thinking of doing something for the adults as well, just to make them feel better,” Cote said.

Ferguson attorney to represent slain man’s family At the heart of the matter is what’s going on with what we see on that video — is it appropriate or not?

Associated Press

— Benjamin Crump attorney in Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting death who will represent the family of a slain Pasco man

JEFF ROBERSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Attorney Benjamin Crump speaks during a news conference in St. Louis County, Missouri, on Aug. 18. Crump, the highprofile attorney for the family of black teenager Michael Brown, who was killed by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri, says he’s representing the parents of an unarmed Mexican man who was shot to death by police in Pasco on Feb. 10.

of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Zambrano-Montes’ family is worried about whether the case will be investigated fairly because of “what happened in Ferguson,” Crump said. “The No. 1 thing they said is, ‘We don’t want them to say that the police acted appropriately,’ ” he told the AP. In a video recording by Dario Infante, 21, of Pasco, five “pops” are audible, and Zambrano-Montes can be

seen running away, pursued by three officers. As the officers draw closer, he stops, turns around and faces them. Multiple “pops” are heard, and the man falls to the ground. The Franklin County coroner has ordered an inquest into the death, which is being reviewed by a regional task force and being monitored by federal authorities. Felix Vargas, head of the Pasco Hispanic rights group Consejo Latino, said a Seattle-based Justice

Department official met with his group Sunday. The official said meetings are planned this week with local authorities, Vargas said. Pasco is a fast-growing agricultural city of 68,000, where more than half the residents are Hispanic but few are members of the police force or the power structure. The killing was the fourth by Pasco police in less than a year and has led to protests. Officers were exonerated after similar investigations in the first three cases. Critics in the latest case say the officers should have used less than lethal force to subdue Zambrano-Montes. Police said officers felt threatened by

State lawmakers struggle to move forward on REAL ID compliance By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — As a key legislative deadline approaches, efforts to bring Washington state into compliance with tougher federal requirements for proof of U.S. residency for driver’s licenses and other government-sanctioned ID don’t appear to have enough support in each chamber to move forward this year. Republican Sen. Curtis King, who heads up the Senate Transportation Committee, said Monday that a draft proposal by the state Department of Licensing will not be introduced in that chamber this legislative session. Democratic Rep. Judy Clibborn, chairwoman of the transportation committee in the House, said she’s still working on the issue, and said that even though Friday marks a deadline for transportation-related bills to pass out of committee, if enough support eventually comes together, a bill could still emerge later this session. The federal REAL ID law, passed in 2005, requires proof of U.S. citizenship or

proof of lawful status in the U.S. in order for a license to be valid for federal use. The law, which has had several implementation delays, has started restricting access to some facilities within the past year and, no sooner than 2016, will require the compliant licenses for boarding commercial aircraft. Earlier this month, the federal government granted the state a temporary extension from the enforcement of federal requirements for state driver’s licenses and ID cards that require proof of legal U.S. residency for holders who want to use them to access certain areas of federal buildings and eventually board a commercial flight. The extension from the Department of Homeland Security will run through Oct. 10, during which time federal agencies can continue to accept driver’s licenses and identification cards issued by Washington for official purposes. King noted the implementation delays, along with other pressing issues the Legislature needs to address this year, as reasons why lawmakers

weren’t interested in tackling the subject just yet. “I think the prevailing view is, let’s just see what they do to us in October,” he said. “Then we’ll have the session in 2016 to try and make whatever changes in order to be compliant in case that’s the way they force us to go.” Washington state already offers enhanced driver’s licenses and IDs that require proof of U.S. citizenship and are valid under the federal law. However, only a fraction of people in the state have those licenses. As of February, more than 500,000 Washington residents have gotten an enhanced driver’s license or enhanced ID card. There are about 5.4 million people with standard licenses, and an additional 625,000 with regular ID cards. State officials had proposed a plan to the Legislature that would create a two-tiered licensing system that would keep the current enhanced license and would create a standard state license that would indicate it is not valid for federal purposes. Advocacy groups and others have expressed

concerns over forcing both immigrants in the country illegally and those in the country legally but not U.S. citizens, to have a marked license. Earlier this month, more than 60 groups — including the American Civil Liberties Union and Northwest Immigrant Rights Project — sent a letter to Gov. Jay Inslee stating their opposition to the proposal, which, they wrote, “goes against Washington’s inclusive values and discriminates against low-income people, senior citizens and noncitizens.” More than two dozen states and territories haven’t fulfilled the national ID law’s mandates. Tony Sermonti, legislative director for the state Department of Licensing, said the state will still work with the federal government to try and secure an additional extension once the current one expires. Clibborn said there’s a lot of emotion surrounding REAL ID law and she wants to make sure everyone’s concerns are addressed. “We’re going to work to get it right,” she said.

Zambrano-Montes. He was arrested last year for assault after throwing objects at Pasco officers and trying to grab an officer’s pistol, court records show. Authorities have said Zambrano-Montes was not armed with a gun or knife when he was killed. Whether he had a rock in his hand when he was shot is still under investigation. Two of the officers involved were white, and the other Hispanic. All three opened fire, though the number of shots has not been disclosed. Last week, investigators asked the public to provide more social media images and eyewitness accounts of what happened. They also asked for patience as the investigation continues.

PASCO — The highprofile attorney who represented the family of a black teenager killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, says he’ll represent the parents of an unarmed Mexican man who was shot to death by officers this month. The killing of Antonio Zambrano-Montes on Feb. 10 — captured on video by a witness — has sparked protests and calls for a federal investigation. On Monday, Benjamin Crump told The Associated Press that the family is worried about the fairness of an investigation. Authorities say that Zambrano-Montes, 35, a Mexican immigrant and former orchard worker, was throwing rocks at officers. They say a stun gun failed to subdue him. “At the heart of the matter is what’s going on with what we see on that video — is it appropriate or not?” said the Floridabased Crump, who has represented the families

Crump said the Pasco case is similar to other high-profile killings involving police officers. “All the young people are protesting that Antonio had his hands up based on what they saw in the video, and he had no weapons,” Crump said. “And just like in New York, it shows the graphic last moments of Eric Garner’s life, here you have a video that shows the graphic last moments of Antonio’s life.” In December, a grand jury in New York declined to indict an officer in Garner’s chokehold death. Meanwhile, another attorney who says he’s representing ZambranoMontes’ family said he wants to temporarily withdraw a $25 million claim filed by Zambrano-Montes’ widow and two daughters against the city after the shooting. Attorney Charles Herrmann of Tacoma said Monday the claim was premature. He said the case needs more investigation into the police department’s policies for dealing with people who are mentally ill or don’t speak English.

Peanuts may cure peanut allergy The next question is: Will it work with other foods? Associated Press

PATRICK SISON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new study posits that early exposure to peanuts may lower the risk of allergies to them.

kind of introduction these children need to be skin-tested” to prevent life-threatening reactions, said Dr. Rebecca Gruchalla, an allergy specialist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Also, small children can choke on whole peanuts, so smooth peanut butter or other peanut-based foods are safer, said Gruchalla, who wrote a commentary on the study in the journal. The main finding — that early exposure to a problem food may keep it from becoming a long-term problem — should change food guidelines quickly, she predicted. “Isn’t it wild? It’s counterintuitive in certain ways and in other ways it’s not,” she said. Researchers at King’s College London started this study after noticing far higher rates of

peanut allergies among Jewish children in London who were not given peanut-based foods in infancy compared to others in Israel who were. The study involved more than 600 children ages 4 months to 11 months old in England. All were thought to be at risk for peanut allergy because they were allergic to eggs or had eczema, a skin condition that’s a frequent allergy symptom. All had been given skin-prick tests to make sure they were not already allergic to peanuts. They were put into two groups — 530 who did not show signs of peanut allergy and 98 others with mild-to-moderate reactions, suggesting an allergy might be developing. Half of each group was assigned to avoid peanuts and the other half was told to consume them each week,

usually as peanut butter or a snack called Bamba, a peanutflavored puff. The results at 5 years of age: ■■ Among children with no sign of allergy on the skin test: Only 2 percent of peanut eaters developed a peanut allergy versus 14 percent of abstainers. ■■ Among children with some reaction to peanuts on the skin test: Only 11 percent of peanut eaters developed an allergy versus 35 percent of abstainers. Hospitalizations and serious reactions were about the same in all groups. Questions remain: How much peanut protein do infants need to consume, how often and for how long, to avoid allergy? If a child stops eating peanuts for a while, will an allergy develop? Would the same approach work for other foods such as milk, eggs and tree nuts?

Historic U.S.-Iran nuclear deal in the works The proposal, which would diminish Tehran’s nuclear activities for 10 years, is opposed by Israel. By George Jahn and Bradley Klapper Associated Press

GENEVA — Edging toward a historic compromise, the U.S. and Iran reported progress Monday on a deal that would clamp down on Tehran’s nuclear activities for at least 10 years but then slowly ease restrictions on programs that could be used to make atomic arms. Officials said there were still obstacles to overcome before a March 31 deadline, and any deal will face harsh opposition in both countries. It also would be sure to further strain alreadytense U.S. relations with Israel, whose leaders oppose any agreement that doesn’t end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to strongly criticize the deal in an address before Congress next week. Still, a comprehensive pact could ease 35 years of U.SIranian enmity — and seems within reach for the first time in more than a decade of negotiations. “We made progress,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said as he bade farewell to members of the American delegation at the table with Iran.

SALVATORE DI NOLFI / KEYSTONE

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (center) returns to his hotel following a bilateral meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for a new round of nuclear talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.

More discussions between Iran and the six nations engaging it were set for March 2, a senior U.S. official said. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the sides found “a better understanding” at the negotiating table. Western officials familiar with the talks cited movement but also described the discussions as a moving target, meaning changes in any one area would have repercussions for other parts of the negotiation. The core idea would be to reward Iran for good behavior over the last years of any agreement, gradually lifting constraints on its uranium enrichment and slowly easing

economic sanctions. Iran says it does not want nuclear arms and needs enrichment only for energy, medical and scientific purposes, but the U.S. fears Tehran could re-engineer the program to produce the fissile core of a nuclear weapon. The U.S. initially sought restrictions lasting up to 20 years; Iran has pushed for less than a decade. The prospective deal appears to be somewhere in the middle. One variation being discussed would place at least a 10-year regime of strict controls on Iran’s uranium enrichment. If Iran complied, the restrictions would be gradually lifted over the final five years.

One issue critics are certain to focus on: Once the deal expired, Iran could theoretically ramp up enrichment to whatever level it wanted. Experts say Iran already could produce the equivalent of one weapon’s worth of enriched uranium with its present operating 10,000 centrifuges. Several officials spoke of 6,500 centrifuges as a potential point of compromise, with the U.S. trying to restrict them to Iran’s mainstay IR-1 model instead of more advanced machines. However, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said last year that his country needed to increase its output equivalent to at least 190,000 of its present-day centrifuges. Under a possible agreement, Iran also would be forced to ship out most of the enriched uranium it produced or change it to a form that would be difficult to convert for weapons use. It takes about one ton of low-enriched uranium to process into a nuclear weapon, and officials said that Tehran could be restricted to an enriched stockpile of no more than about 700 pounds. The officials represent different countries among the six world powers negotiating with Iran — the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about the negotiations.

White House open to compromise on ISIS strategy By Nedra Pickler Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The White House is calling on lawmakers to work out their yawning divisions over an authorization to use military force against Islamic State militants and says President Barack Obama is open to changes to his initial proposal to achieve a compromise. Obama wants authorization

U.S. seeks stay on deportations The U.S. government asked a federal judge Monday to lift his temporary hold on President Barack Obama’s action to shield millions of immigrants in the country illegally from deportation. Last week, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen issued a preliminary injunction sought by 26 states suing to halt the executive action by Obama, who wants to spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who are in the U.S. illegally. The states, led by Texas, have argued the action is unconstitutional and would force states to invest more in law enforcement, health care and education.

By Marilynn Marchione For years, parents of babies who seem likely to develop a peanut allergy have gone to extremes to keep them away from peanut-based foods. Now a major study suggests that is exactly the wrong thing to do. Exposing infants like these to peanuts before age 1 actually helped prevent a peanut allergy, lowering that risk by as much as 81 percent, doctors found. Instead of provoking an allergy, early exposure seemed to help build tolerance. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called the results “without precedent” and said in a statement that they “have the potential to transform how we approach food allergy prevention.” His agency helped fund the study, the largest and most rigorous test of this concept. Results were published online Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine and discussed at an American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology conference in Houston. A big warning, though: The babies in the study were checked to make sure they didn’t already have a peanut allergy before they were fed foods that included peanuts, so parents of babies thought to be at risk for an allergy should not try this on their own. “Before you even start any

to pursue the violent extremist group across international boundaries, but would be willing to accept amendments to much of the rest of his draft, the White House says. That includes his proposed threeyear time limit on U.S. military action and the most contentious language over the use of American troops. After a weeklong holiday break, Congress returned to Washington on Monday and

the White House is arguing it’s up to lawmakers to work out their disputes now that the president has made his offer. “It’s their turn to take the lead and to walk it through the legislative process,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. Some Republicans say Obama’s proposal is too restrictive for the mission to succeed. On the other side, some Democrats want more limitations

on Obama’s authority so the United States doesn’t sign on for another open-ended war. Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., plans to hold hearings on the legislation over the next couple of weeks and said he’s keeping options open on the best way to proceed. He said options include amending Obama’s proposal or to “start whole cloth from a clean fresh beginning.”

Hassoun faces a maximum penalty of 7½ years in prison, reduction in rank, loss of pay and a dishonorable discharge.

Maine: Man allegedly lures girl to her death via Facebook A man accused of luring a 15-year-old girl to her death with a fake Facebook page was at home with his family the night of the killing, his attorneys said Monday, accusing the prosecution of making “big mistakes” in their case. But prosecutors said the evidence linking 21-year-old Kyle Dube to Nichole Cable’s 2013 murder and abduction is considerable — the phony Facebook account was traced to his home, his DNA was found on a hat at the end of Nichole’s driveway and cell tower records show that he was in the area of Nichole’s home. Police said Dube told others that he’d intended to abduct Nichole and later come to her rescue and be hailed as a hero.

AROUND THE WORLD France: President wants to protect Jewish community French president Francois Hollande said that the country must offer its protection and affection to the Jewish community as anti-Semitism is on the rise in France. “Jewish are at home in France, it’s the anti-Semites who have no place into the Republic”, Hollande said in a speech at a prestigious annual dinner of the country’s main Jewish organization. Many French Jews feel increasingly worried about anti-Semitism, particularly coming from young Muslims who embrace radical ideology propagated online. France has Europe’s largest Jewish population, about half a million. More than 7,000 emigrated to Israel last year. Hollande noted that acts against Muslims are also on the rise in France.

Nigeria: Suicide bomber was girl about 10 years old A girl as young as 10 blew herself up in a busy market in northeastern Nigeria, killing herself and four others, and fueling fears Islamic extremists are using kidnapped girls as suicide bombers. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack Sunday, which also seriously wounded 46 people, but it bore the hallmarks of Nigeria’s homegrown extremist group, Boko Haram. The girl, who appeared to be no more than 10 years old, got out of a tricycle taxi in front of the busy cellphone market in Potiskum and minutes later her explosives detonated, according to Anazumi Saleh, a survivor of the attack who suffered head injuries.

EU: Boeing tax breaks are illegal Europe says Washington state is getting an unfair advantage over its own aircraft industry. By John Zarocostas McClatchy News Service

GENEVA — The World Trade Organization on Monday agreed to set up a panel to examine

European Union allegations that Washington state’s $8.7 billion in tax breaks to the Boeing Co. to manufacture its new 777X model there are prohibited subsidies under global trade rules. The EU’s legal adviser, Mikko Huttunen, told WTO delegates that the Washington state incentives create “a massive disadvantage” to the European aircraft industry, diplomats who attended the session said.

The U.S. delegation did not block the establishment of the dispute panel but countered that the state tax incentives are “fully consistent” with U.S. obligations under the WTO accords, sources familiar with the closeddoor proceedings said. Charlie Miller, a Boeing spokesman, defended the tax breaks, saying they were not offered uniquely to Boeing. “The tax measures the EU

challenges today are not market-distorting subsidies,” he said. “They are available to all aerospace companies, including Airbus and its suppliers.” He called the EU’s complaint an attempt to divert attention from Europe’s own massive subsidy for aircraft development for Airbus, which is based in France, and was founded by See BOEING, Page A8

Most West Coast ports bustling again Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Nearly all West Coast seaports began the work week with crews hustling to load and unload cargo ships that were held up amid a months-long dispute over a new contract for dockworkers. The exception Monday was the Port of Oakland, where problems persisted three days after negotiators for the dockworkers’ union and for employers reached a tentative agreement covering all 29 West Coast ports. Those ports handle roughly one-quarter of U.S. international trade, an amount worth about $1 trillion annually. In Oakland, nine ships were at berth and ready for cranes to move cargo Monday, but only one was being worked due to what port spokesman Mike Zampa called a “temporary shortage of experienced crane operators.” He said port officials expected experienced crane drivers to return for the night shift. Other Oakland dockworkers were still putting containers that already had been unloaded onto trucks and trains. The port handles about 10 percent of the coast’s total seaborne trade. Operations at the other West Coast ports from Seattle to Southern California appeared to be back to normal. The job of restoring the free flow of goods will take at least two months — and more like three at the Port of Los Angeles, the nation’s largest.

WASHINGTON — America’s biggest tobacco companies asked a federal appeals court Monday to set aside a series of court-ordered advertisements saying they lied about the dangers of smoking. The companies told a threejudge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court next week hears a challenge to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul that hinges on just four words in the law that seeks to dramatically reduce the ranks of the uninsured. The challengers argue that the law provides subsidies only to people who get their insurance through an exchange “established by the state.” But most states have not established their own marketplaces and instead rely on the federal healthcare.gov.

LOS ANGELES — Oscar viewership was down 16 percent from last year and reached its lowest point since 2009, with 36.6 million people watching the Neil Patrick Harris-hosted awards show on ABC Sunday night. The Nielsen company’s preliminary estimate of U.S. viewership was down from the 43.7 million people who watched last year, a feel-good show where host Ellen DeGeneres attracted attention for posting a “selfie” with various movie stars and having pizzas delivered to the audience.

Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association of companies that own, load and unload massive, ocean-going ships reached a tentative deal Friday night. Leaders for both sides pledged to keep labor peace on the West Coast waterfront as their respective members vote on the deal. The union’s 13,000 voting members could make their decision in April, though the timing is

not set. The maritime association has not said when it expects its members to vote. The issues in Oakland marked the second day of disruptions there. A labor-management dispute related to work breaks escalated to the point that the port shut down Sunday. An arbitrator ordered a return to work on the night shift after finding that longshoremen took part in illegal work stoppages.

Estrada, an attorney representing the tobacco companies, told the panel. In 2006, U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the largest cigarette makers to publicly admit that they had lied for decades about the dangers of smoking. The ruling came after testimony from 162 witnesses, a nine-month bench trial and thousands of findings by the

judge that defendants engaged in a massive campaign of fraud. Kessler required the companies to publicly address smoking’s adverse health effects, nicotine manipulation and the health impact of secondhand smoke. The judge also required that the companies address the truth about “light” and “low tar” See TOBACCO, Page A8

Compassion needed beyond the feel-good cause of the day ’m not a fan of crowdfunding for the celebrity cause of the moment. The Internet has made it so much easier for people to pony up money for any person or family who has been profiled in a news story that is picked up by social media, newspapers, network and cable shows and retold so often that it becomes trendy to give.

Lawmaker spent tax, donor money lavishly ILLINOIS — Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock, a rising Republican star already facing an ethics inquiry, has spent taxpayer and campaign funds on flights aboard private planes owned by some of his key donors, The Associated Press has found. There also have been other expensive travel and entertainment charges, including for a massage company and music concerts. The AP identified at least one dozen flights worth more than $40,000 on donors’ planes since mid-2011.

There’s a shortage of talent out there MILL VALLEY, Calif. — Seven years after the Great Recession of 2008 created a buyers’ market in talent, the pendulum is swinging the other way.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, eight million Americans are looking for jobs, but data reveals nearly half of hiring decision-makers say they don’t see enough qualified candidates for open positions.

ruled that Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard and Philip Morris USA deliberately deceived the

American public.” The companies said the statement is overbroad and misleading. But the government’s attorney, Melissa Patterson, told the court that the preamble ensures that the statements that follow are “seen as the real truth,” saying the companies have a history of using tactics that raise questions about public health warnings about the dangers of smoking. The statements the companies are being ordered to publish are based on the fact that the “fraud is likely to continue,” added Howard Crystal, an attorney representing public health interveners in the case.

The ads would be in all cigarette packs sold for 12 weeks over the course of two years, in TV spots once per week for a year, in a separate newspaper ad by each company, on company websites indefinitely and at certain retail outlets. They stem from a civil case the government brought in 1999 under RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. In 2009, the appeals court directed Kessler to craft corrective statements confined to purely factual and uncontroversial information that would reveal previously hidden truths about the tobacco industry’s products.

illegal, market-distorting subsidy.” The new dispute is the latest in a decade-long, multibillion-dollar fight between the world’s two biggest manufacturers of large civilian aircraft. The WTO ruled in 2010 and 2011 that both the United States and the EU had violated international trade agreements by providing their manufacturers billions of dollars in subsidies, and those rulings were upheld on appeal in 2011 and 2012. But both sides are still engaged in the battle, awaiting a ruling expected this year by the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body on whether the U.S. and the EU have complied with the early findings.

Diplomats said that the EU’s Huttunen argued said that a 2013 decision by Washington state to extend until the end of 2040 “very significant” tax breaks for Boeing violated a 2012 WTO ruling that those incentives were illegal. In its Feb. 13 complaint to the WTO, the EU claimed that Washington state violated the ruling by making the tax incentives contingent upon placing production of the wings and final assembly for any new commercial aircraft or variant in Washington and maintaining all wing assembly and final assembly of such commercial aircraft exclusively in the state. While Boeing assembles aircraft in Washington

state, Airbus’ finally assembly location is outside Toulouse, France. Boeing’s 777X is the latest variant of the aircraft company’s so-called “Triple 7” wide-body aircraft, which are described as the world’s largest twin-engine commercial airliner, capable of carrying as many as 400 passengers and traveling more than 9,000 miles. It is designed to compete with Airbus’ A350 aircraft, which can carry as many as 360 passengers. The two aircraft manufacturers closely watch each others’ sales in an annual competition that Boeing won last year, when it sold nearly twice as many wide-body aircraft to airlines as Airbus.

The companies in the case include Richmond, Virginia-based Altria Group Inc., owner of the biggest U.S. tobacco company, Philip Morris USA; No. 2 cigarette maker, R.J.

Robertson’s good fortune demonstrates that people are eager to help those they think are worthy. There are many other men and women taking buses and subways for several hours a day to get to and from work. Their jobs aren’t close to where they can afford to live, or public transportation doesn’t extend far enough. They aren’t a so-called “good story,” so we don’t feel for them. But we should. “There is growing evidence that transportation — particularly access to automobiles — plays an important role in shaping the residential location choices and economic outcomes of low-income households,” wrote researchers from the Urban Institute, the University of Maryland and UCLA in a report released last year. “Automobiles and high-quality public transit services can enable participants to better search for housing as well as provide access to potential employment, services, and other opportunities within a reasonable travel time.” An earlier report by the Brookings Institution found that workers in low-income suburban communities on average “can access only about 22 percent of metropolitan jobs in low- and middleskill industries for which they may be most qualified” — in 90 minutes commuting time. And what more can we do? Give regularly, as part of your budget, even when you may not know the backstory of the person in need. We should be moved to help even if the person’s story isn’t extraordinary. How about donating your

old car to a charity that gives it to someone trying to get to a good job? When people want or even need another car, their old car is typically traded in to help reduce the cost of the next one. My husband and I never trade in a car. We fix it up and give it to someone we know needs transportation. Whenever I write about low-income families and their struggles, I get criticized if I show concern. Why don’t I preach financial responsibility? It’s been my mission, my passion to talk about ways to manage money well and the virtues of hard work — things I learned from my grandmother, Big Mama. I recall in one major snowstorm, when the roads were too dangerous to drive, she walked two miles to work and back. She had to leave before daylight. She set an example for me. Still, as a society, we need to show compassion for the underprivileged. Even people who make poor decisions deserve help to lift them from poverty. So, no, I’m not feeling all warm and fuzzy about the $350,000 that was so easily raised for Robertson, because far too often people are generous only when they feel someone deserves the benevolence. Before the car and the $350,000, Robertson said something in a video posted by the Detroit Free Press that we ought to remember, because he knew it wasn’t just about him. “I figure even if my situation changes, you never forget that there are so many other people that are in my situation.” Washington Post Writers Group

IN OUR VIEW | Cocoon House and Everett Gospel Mission

Your part in aiding homeless The name itself, Point in Time, tells you something. This is a snapshot, an attempt to count a moving, difficult-to-quantify population on a single night in January. So, while there have been successes in connecting those in Snohomish County’s homeless community with shelter and services, and the recent Point in Time surveys have shown a downward trend in the number of homeless counted on that one night — from 2,387 in 2012 to 948 this year — those who serve the adults and youths in the homeless community are wary of giving the numbers too much weight, for fear that we might let up on our efforts. The numbers, said Cassie Franklin, chief executive of Cocoon House, which provides shelter and other services for homeless and

at-risk youths, are useful for tracking trends and necessary in seeking grants and other funding, but they don’t relate the full picture of the need in the community. “Our shelter beds are still full, so there’s still a big problem,” Franklin said. It’s a sentiment shared by Sylvia Anderson, chief executive of the Everett Gospel Mission. As reported Monday by Herald Writer Noah Haglund, Anderson said her own experience, her observations of the community, also brings some doubt as to how well the count gives a full picture. Efforts to address homelessness and the often related problems of mental illness and addiction, already are being made, with more to follow. The Everett Community Streets Initiative, which released its report in November, has had

subcommittees working on how to implement a long list of recommendations, with reports expected next month. Among the recommendations being considered are a jail transition facility that would provide temporary shelter for those released from jail; increased access of drop-in centers to connect the homeless with services; and a housing levy, like those used in Seattle and Bellingham, that would build more affordable housing. But along with those shortand long-term efforts, there are more immediate needs that are best satisfied by donations from the community. Cocoon House, as reported Saturday by Herald Writer Chris Winters, learned late last year that the federal government was not renewing a $200,000 grant that provided half of the funding for its Street Outreach Program, which

works to connect youths with Cocoon House programs and encourage them to come off the street. Cocoon House is shifting money to make up for the loss and is seeking other funding sources. But it, as does the Everett Gospel Mission, also depends on contributions from the community. The good news for Cocoon House is that an anonymous community leader, following the loss of the federal grant, has offered to match donations from the public, 2 to 1, meaning a $100 donation brings $300 to Cocoon House. But that offer expires at the end of the month, Saturday. To donate to Cocoon House, go to https://secure.qgiv.com/ for/cocoonhouse.

noblest spirit and rationality and act morally. Nothing beyond nature compels how we should live. However, with that same rationality we know that nature itself has no compunction about inflicting untold suffering on life. Modern science also predicts that biotic life, including humans, will inevitably end on earth because of nature’s unfolding timeline. So, if there is nothing beyond mindless, heartless nature as moral basis, and nothing beyond extinction — bound humans, then a transcendent, personal God could be very helpful, especially one who reveals the divine self as loving and saving, which are the basis of like-kind morality. Unfortunately, morality is not a simple matter either in a purely naturalistic universe, nor in one in which God allows nature to be itself and humans the freedom of will.

cashier that sees steam rolling out of my ears for the umpteenth time as he stands there with glazed over eyes that say “duh?” Apparently my suggestion to these businesses to get more papers from The Herald goes unheeded, so I will try to solve this here. I am also very disappointed in the changes being made to The Herald. I understand you have to share the press with another paper, but why so many changes? Just about everything I have enjoyed about your paper and the reason I buy it is drastically altered or gone altogether. Maybe if you take out the full page ads you could have room for the “news” you no longer feel the need to print. It will be a really sad day when I can’t drink a cup of coffee and read my local newspaper because it went out of business, but at least I know it won’t be because I didn’t try to do my part to keep the presses rolling!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■TOURISM

State needs to promote itself Tourism is the fourth-largest industry in our state, yet Washington is the only state in the U.S. that does not have a robust tourism promotion program — since the Legislature closed the state tourism office in 2011. Now two equivalent bills, House Bill 1938 and Senate Bill 5916, have been introduced in the Legislature that would enable Washington to begin actively marketing again to potential visitors. And visitors are good for local business. When out-of- state travelers spend money on hotels, restaurants, shopping and transportation, they not only help those businesses, they pay taxes that benefit Washingtonians. Visitor spending in Washington generates $400 in tax revenue for each Washington household — which means a $400 reduction in annual household taxes for each family. Snohomish County benefits greatly from tourism. Visitors spend $930 million in Snohomish County annually, contributing more than $67.3 million in state and local tax revenues. By spending money at local businesses, visitors support employment of Snohomish County residents. The Washington Tourism Alliance is aiming to re-establish a robust statewide tourism marketing program via HB 1938 and SB 5916. These bills don’t contain any state funding; instead they ask the state to help collect funds — because the state already has the collection mechanism in place, while the WTA doesn’t. Funding will be generated by the tourism industry itself through assessments and voluntary contributions. Through these assessments, the WTA estimates a $7.5 million target budget. HB 1938 and SB 5916 make good business sense — they will help increase travel to Washington, visitor spending, jobs and tax revenues.

Common sense Put more copies relative to culture inside of stores Regarding the letter, “Common sense dictates morality”: It may be helpful to consider what is the authoritative basis upon which we construct morality. For some it is religious belief. For some, like Mr. Larson, it is common sense, which is a form of human rationality. The problem with appeal to rationality as moral authority is the human factor. There are many contexts in which my common sense will differ with any number of other common senses. Common sense is too relative to one’s time, place and culture. Evolutionary ethics finds a moral basis within nature in, among other things, its observation of cooperation and self-sacrificing traits in non-human life forms.

Discerning risk from alarm over food safety

s things now stand, the U.S. Department of Agriculture oversees steaks, chicken thighs and eggs out of their shells. The Food and Drug Administration keeps an eye on salmon, apples and eggs in their shells. Fifteen government entities now supervise food safety, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (seafood). President FROMA HARROP Obama wants to consolidate all these food Social media monitoring functions magnify the in a yet-tobe-created significance of Food Safety anecdotes, and Administration. Makes many stories, sense. even untrue It’s not unusual to ones, go viral find inspectors from because they several agenare colorful. cies trooping through the same processing plants and other facilities. Some duplicate what others are doing — or don’t do what they think others are doing — or do what the person who came through the week before could have done. Streamlining food safety could also save the taxpayers and consumers some money. This could be done with no loss — and perhaps some improvement — in this country’s admirable food safety record. But that may not stop food alarmists from sowing panic. There’s a business in spreading fear about what we eat, often promoting myths of danger — much as the anti-vaccination movement has done. And there are government employees who see their jobs as threatened. Of Obama’s proposal, a USDA inspector and the head of a government meat inspectors union complained, “This would drag us down to (the FDA’s) minuscule standards.” What a good opportunity to revisit the nonexistent mad cow crisis of 10 years ago. Mad cow disease affects the animal’s brain and spinal cord. Americans don’t generally eat those parts, which is one reason the few who died from the infected cows were mostly Europeans. The other reason is that almost no American cow had the disease. At the time of maximum hysteria, only one cow, in Washington state, was found to be infected — and it had come from Canada. Nonetheless, columnist Paul Krugman spoke of a “declining credibility of U.S. food regulation” and asked, “How did America find itself back in The Jungle?” That was a reference to Upton Sinclair’s 1906 expose of Chicago meat processors. Eric Schlosser, author of “Fast Food Nation,” wrote that mad cow disease “confronts the United States with perhaps its most serious and complex food-safety threat.” Actually, no one — not one person — had ever contracted the human variant of mad cow disease by eating from an American cow before then (or has since). But in a 2004 op-ed for The New York Times, Schlosser jumped all over the USDA secretary’s spokeswoman for issuing a press release titled “Mad Cow Disease Not a Problem in the U.S.” This was not about reality, not any more than are the reports of vaccines causing profound mental disorders in children. If one dislikes the aesthetics of industrialized food production, if one objects to mistreatment of many farm animals, if one does not care to eat meat — we hear you. But keep the arguments honest. They are rarely about food safety. For the record, fruits and vegetables typically account for twice as many cases of food poisoning in this country as does meat, according to the CDC. In recent years, though 29 percent of the foodborne illnesses leading to death have come from eating meat, 23 percent have been tied to produce. Americans aren’t great at assessing risks. Social media magnify the significance of anecdotes, and many stories, even untrue ones, go viral because they are colorful. Any plans to change the system for keeping food safe will bring out a variety of economic interests. Bear in mind that some of the economic interests have nothing to do with food production.

Curve From Page A1

of relatively new multi-family housing along Highway 527, near Murphy’s Corner in Mill Creek. Increasing enrollment over the next 10 years also is informing the district and school board’s discussion of a potential capital bond issue for next year. In 2014, voters twice narrowly rejected a $259 million capital bond issue which would have paid for two new schools and more classrooms in the district, plus major upgrades to North Middle School. The bond failures have been attributed to a combination of a weak economy and lingering distrust over the school district’s decision to build a new $28.3 million administration building. School board vice president Ted Wenta pointed out that while

the district still has capital needs, putting a new bond on the ballot hasn’t been decided. “A lot will depend on what happens at the state level,” Wenta said. It is not known, however, how much money the Legislature will give to public schools from Initiative 1351, which mandates reduced class sizes, or from the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision, which requires the state to fully fund special education. Until that’s resolved, “it’s kind of hard to make an informed decision” about a bond, Wenta said. What is not in doubt is that the Everett school district is expected to see even more growth, especially in the south. The Jan. 12 report by William L. Kendrick of Educational Data Solutions projects more than 4,000 housing units will be developed in the district by 2020, and that the total student population will rise to as many as 22,516 in 2024 from 19,221 this year.

The highest number the consultant projected for the current year was 19,146, still 279 fewer students than who actually showed up at school. The state’s projection for this year was even lower, at 18,942. The short-term solution to crowding has been to buy portable classrooms. The district has 84 of them this year, 12 of them at Woodside, and recently the school board approved the purchase of 16 more for the 20152016 school year. Part of the reason for the planned boundary adjustment is to take the pressure off Woodside, because the latest projections have the school’s population rising to 881 by 2024, the biggest increase of all the district’s elementary schools. Silver Lake is also over capacity, however, and its October headcount of 528 is expected to increase to 575 by 2024, even before adding in those students from Woodside.

Gunn said the district’s recent surge in growth may more likely be the result of a rebound from the recent housing bust, which caused enrollment to drop or not grow as quickly. Another reason is an overall demographic shift as the grandchildren of the Baby Boom generation enter school ages. A lot of those children moved into the Everett school district in recent years. “We’re getting more kindergarten enrollment than the birthrate would have predicted,” Gunn said. Board president Pam LeSesne said her primary concern is that expected growth in the district doesn’t disproportionately affect the education of kids in overcrowded schools. LeSesne, who grew up attending crowded schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, said overcrowding “changes the whole dynamic of your education.” “I don’t know of any parent

First tests of Ebola drug shows promise in West Africa By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

SEATTLE — An experimental antiviral drug shows some early, encouraging signs of effectiveness in its first human test against Ebola in West Africa, but only if patients get it when their symptoms first appear. A study of the drug, favipiravir, is still in early stages in West Africa, and too few people have been treated to really know whether the drug helps. Other factors, like better health care, may be making a difference, and there was no comparison group of patients who got no treatment or a different drug. Results for the first 69 adults and teens in Guinea were released Monday. Among those who got the drug when virus levels were still low, survival was 85 percent. That seems better than the roughly 70 percent survival for patients treated in the same clinics two months before the study began, researchers said at the

care was five days, and the infection often is well established by then. “We have preliminary evidence” that favipiravir may be

effective, says a statement by Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, which helped fund the work. “If these results are confirmed by the ongoing clinical trial, it will be the firstever treatment to be deployed against this deadly disease during the current outbreak.” The current Ebola outbreak is the largest in history. There have been nearly 23,000 cases and nearly 9,000 deaths, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the World Health Organization estimates. There are no specific medicines or vaccines to fight the virus, though some experimental ones are being tested. Favirapir, also known by its brand name, Avigan, is made by a Japanese company, Toyama Chemical. It was approved in Japan last year for treating flu and tests suggest it also may work against other viruses. A French nurse who got Ebola while volunteering in Africa

for Doctors Without Borders was treated with favipiravir and recovered. The new study was launched in December in two Ebola treatment units in Guinea run by that aid group. Others involved in the study include the aid group Alliance for International Medical Action and INSERM, the French public health agency. Even doctors involved in the study acknowledge that more research is needed to determine the drug’s safety and effectiveness. In some previous Ebola outbreaks and even in this one, survival has improved as time goes on and cases are detected and treated sooner, and more care becomes available. In December, doctors reported that survival among nearly 600 recent Ebola patients in Sierra Leone was about 70 percent, compared to only about 26 percent earlier in the outbreak. Among those treated more recently, survival was over 76 percent.

Salt is having its moment, and this Everett store boasts the stuff in every form

all about salt

t’s tucked in a beige industrial strip on Everett’s Airport Road, along a stretch boasting a gun range, adult video store and Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall. There’s a subtle orange glow behind a window, but otherwise it’s pretty easy to pass it by. That is, unless you happen to catch the sign: “Sea Salt Superstore, Purveyors of Exotic Salts.” Purveyor of justice, sure. Purveyor of fine wine, certainly. But of salt? Since when did salt attain either exotic or superstore status? What’s up with that? Salt is no longer just the cheap white crystals that are a fixture in every kitchen, standing loyally next to the shaker with the P.

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

BY ANDREA BROWN More: www.heraldnet.com/ whatsup. Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 Salt and Pepper are still a couple, sure, but with their own careers. Sea Salt Superstore owner Scott Mackie sees only continued growth for the business he started eight years ago on the gamble that salt would become gourmet and trendy, just like coffee beans, jelly beans, doughnuts and beer did. Yes, but this is salt, a dirt-cheap mineral. A dollar buys enough Morton Salt that lasts a person a year or three. “People are switching over from processed salt,” Mackie said. “Sea salt is more potent. Everybody wants flavor. Everybody watches a cooking channel where they’re using these great rubs and great salts. People at home now have the opportunity to cook like Bobby Flay.” The store has salt in more flavors than Baskin-Robbins does ice cream. Espresso. Vanilla. Chocolate fleur de sel. Applewood. Cyprus citrus. Smoked bacon chipotle. There are Himalayan salt bricks for cooking on. Salt bowls for mixing in. Salt stones to heat and put on your achy back. Dead Sea salt to dip your body in which, by the way, isn’t the same salt as dipping your truffles in. Want a hand scrub? There’s a demo station bowl set up for that. Free.

At the Sea Salt Superstore, manager Nick Mackie, son of owner Scott Mackie, helps customer Ruth Jewell of Edmonds with her purchase.

The store has a salt tasting bar and flavored olive oils to sample. That inviting orange glow in the window is from Himalayan salt lamps that are all the rage due to the ambient light and purported holistic qualities. “I’m kind of like the old salt traders of years and years ago,” Mackie said. Prior to purveying salt, his specialty was amusement parks. He started Funtasia in Edmonds in 1991. “Go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, laser tag, adventure miniature gold course, all kinds of fun stuff,” he said. “I wanted to do something different. My son (Sean) was in Europe and he came back with all these great salts.” Boom. He started the salt company in Everett and sold Funtasia to Family Fun Centers. Instead of 80 employees and 7 acres of excited youngsters, he has 13 workers and 20,000 square feet of solitude. Wholesale and online sales are the bulk of his business, which

For five years, he ran a retail salt store outlet on Highway 99 in Lynnwood, across from the

Costco business center. When the front space in the Everett warehouse building complex became available a month ago, Mackie closed the Lynnwood store and set up shop here. Ann and Dave McCrea of Lake Stevens saw the salt sign at the new store from the road and wondered what’s up. “We thought we’d check it out,” she said. “It is interesting there is so much difference in salt,” he said.

Senior discount not the only benefit of becoming an ‘older adult’

recently learned that I am about to belong to a club I don’t want to join. A colleague of mine, a pharmacist, was discussing with me the many problems associated with tranquilizer and sleeping pill use among older adults. I learned that the use of medications like Xanax, Valium, or Ambien in this group frequently results in falls, broken hips, emergency room visits and hospitalizations. I casually asked, “When is someone considered an ‘older adult?’” My guess: Somewhere around 80. “Oh,” he said, “Not until they’re 65.” I gasped. I will be 65 in less than two years. How did this happen? I’ve been just cruising along, turning 50, then 60, blissfully unaware that I was soon to be a card-carrying “older adult.” The fact is that in the United States, 10,000 adults “age-in” to

My father used to say, “Growing old ain’t for sissies, but it’s far better than the alternative.” But today I think there are many positives for growing older, too. Here are just a few of them: Today’s 65-year-olds are a lot younger than they used to be. As a group, we are more active, eat better, enjoy improved health care and smoke less than our parents. When I was growing up — much like in “Mad Men” — everyone smoked everywhere. It turns out that smoking ages you like nothing else. Better living through chemistry. My parents lived into their late 80s and early 90s primarily because of medications that controlled their blood pressure and cholesterol.

getting older. We have a longer view of our future lives. My mother’s parents died at 45 and 73 and my father’s parents died at 55 and 69. Like most people, they used their parent’s life span as their longevity yardstick. To them, living into their 80s was a dream they could barely imagine. But it’s easy for me to imagine living into my 90s. I’ve got another 30 years to play with. Woo hoo! We are retiring at an older age than our parents. In my parents’ generation, at 65 it was time to call it a day, sit in a recliner and play with the grandchildren. But baby boomers are working longer and, as a result, are staying mentally and physically active. According to a recent survey, over 65 percent of boomers do not plan to retire at 65. Those that retire earlier are volunteering, taking classes and doing more traveling. All of this

keeps the brain cells firing. Growing older does mean growing wiser. It’s true. I don’t get as rattled by the ups and downs of life as I used to. Life experience has taught me that the “worst” rarely happens, and if it does, I can handle it. After all, I have learned a few things in my 40-plus years of adult life. Sure, we have aches and pains we didn’t have when we were younger. We don’t have as much energy as we did when we were in our 40s. It’s harder to remember names this year than it was last year.

Boyfriend doesn’t want to be called ‘boyfriend’

daily crossword

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I’m nine weeks pregnant. The pregnancy was planned as I’m in my 30s and feeling like I did not want to miss my opportunity to have kids. I have a good job and can provide well for a baby on my own. The baby’s father is, for all intents and purposes, my boyfriend, though he resists that label. We hang out a couple of times per week, still sleep together, and plan to move in together once the baby’s born. He has expressed his intention to be involved throughout the child’s life. I see this situation as preferable to using a sperm donor even though I don’t think we will be together forever. BUT, his resistance to the boyfriend label stings. When he told his father I was pregnant he asked if we were seeing each other. Baby Daddy said no. I told him that hurt my feelings. Does he not want to sleep with me, hang out, be all loveydovey like we are? No, he wants it to continue as long as I’m OK with it and he does not plan to pursue other relationships. I think I can let go of semantics here and enjoy this time with him and what we have for now. Am I being foolish? — Baby Daddy Drama If you’re OK with someone who

You’re handing your child a dilettante where a father should be, however, and the baby will not bring 30-plus years of maturity to his or her understanding of this situation. So while Babby Daddy (ugh) “intends” to be “involved,” does he mean involved as he wants, or as his child needs? And, how is one of the child’s emotional pillars going to treat the other? The baby will be watching and learning, so what will you two be teaching? The stakes are huge. Your feelings are hurt now, right?

Dear Abby: I have been married to “Carla” for 16 years. It’s my second marriage. My problem is I never see her. She has always spent more time with her mother than with me. We see each other for about an hour a day after she returns from her mom’s, usually at 9:45 to 10 p.m. I have had several conversations about this with her over the years, but nothing seems to work. We’ll argue and she starts to cry, and it ends without a resolution. Her mother is in her mid80s and has had her share of health problems. Carla has a sister who could help out, but rarely does. I have had health problems of my own — a kidney transplant and several bouts of skin cancer — but she doesn’t seem to care as much about my problems as she does her mom’s. Her mother even tells her to go home to be with me, to no avail. I love my wife, but my isolation and loneliness are finally getting to me. How can I convince her that this isn’t fair to me or our marriage? — Lonely In Illinois Dear Lonely: I feel sorry for both of you. Your wife may be trying so hard to be a responsible daughter that she has forgotten you need her, too. Your sister-in-law should have stepped up and started doing her share long ago — and she still may if you and your wife talk to her about it together. I don’t know what your schedule is like, but you might have more time with Carla if you went with her to your mother-in-law’s occasionally. It might also improve your communication if the two of you went for marriage counseling. If Carla’s mother has to insist she go home to you, there may be reasons other than her mother’s health for RIP HAYWIRE

Carla’s spending so much time away. Nothing will change until you get to the bottom of it, so don’t let your wife’s tears prevent you. And if your wife resists seeing a counselor, go without her. Dear Abby: My husband and I recently quit our jobs and moved to London from New York. Being a freelancer and having lived here before, he’s never had trouble finding work. But I have just changed careers and am finding it hard to earn a consistent paycheck here. Despite his constant assurances that he is happy supporting both of us right now, I can’t shake feeling guilty. I have never felt right living on someone else’s dime — not even my parents’ while I was growing up. Should I man up and find a job I don’t exactly love to better contribute, or “keep on truckin’” without guilt with hopes of getting there? — Guilty In London Dear Guilty: Because of your history, I’m not sure you are capable of happily “keepin’ on truckin’” without contributing financially. For some people, the sense of independence they derive from having a job is important to their self-worth. I say, look around and see if there are some job openings. It’s better than sitting around moping and feeling guilty, and it might give you and your husband a chance to make some new friends. Universal Uclick

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2015. There are 310 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Feb. 24, 1975, the Congressional Budget Office, charged with providing independent analyses of budgetary and economic issues, began operating under its first director, Alice Rivlin. On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued an edict outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.) In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes. In 1815, American engineer and inventor Robert Fulton, credited with building the first successful commercial steamboat, died in New

York at 49. In 1864, the first Union prisoners arrived at the Confederates’ Andersonville prison camp in Georgia. In 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate. In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform. In 1938, the first nylon bristle toothbrush, manufactured by DuPont under the name “Dr. West’s Miracle Toothbrush,” went on sale. In 1946, Argentinian men went to the polls to elect Juan D. Peron their president. Associated Press

Maria Alekhina (right) and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, of the punk provocateur band Pussy Riot, have released a new music video dedicated to Eric Garner, an unarmed man who was killed when a New York City police officer put him in a fatal chokehold.

Provocative Russian band takes on an American cause By August Brown Los Angeles Times

The Russian punk performance group Pussy Riot has a new video, and true to form, it’s politically volatile but visually and musically compelling as well. The duo of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina recorded their first English-language single, titled “I Can’t Breathe.” Though they formed the band to protest the repressive policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, this time they’re taking on issues of American justice. The song’s title and lyrics overtly evoke the protests around the death of Eric Garner, and the subsequent lack of indictment of the officers whose restraints led to his death. They recorded the track in New York in the days following the grand jury’s decision not to indict the officers. The song pulls in a host of punk heroes and experimental musicians — Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner, Richard Hell, Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow and the singers from

the Russian groups Jack Wood and Scofferlane. Unlike their blasts of atonal noise and iconoclastic screaming, this time the group performs over a gloomy electronic arrangement. It’s certainly the most high-fidelity recording they’ve made yet, and might signal greater ambitions for themselves as a political band and not just as activists who use music. But the video is even more arresting. In it, the duo (wearing Russian police uniforms) are laid in a grave and buried alive. The stark color contrasts of the dirt and religious imagery of the crossed wooden tools is powerful, especially in the song’s closing seconds when the track is overwhelmed with white noise. The duo spent two years in Russian prison for their “punk prayer” performance, and their criticisms come from a place of shared empathy for Garner. Hopefully it’s not the last time they bring friends from around the music world to challenge American society as well as Russia’s.

Suzan-Lori Parks’ historical trilogy set during the Civil War has won a theater award honoring the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, one of the largest prizes given for dramatic writing. Parks’ “Father Suzan-Lori Comes Parks Home from the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3)” traces the journey of a slave named Hero, his wife, Penny, and the best friend he betrayed, Homer. Spanning a total of three hours, the plays premiered last fall at the Public Theater to largely rave reviews. It is the initial trio in a planned nine-play cycle. The Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History honors a new play or musical that explores the United States’ past and deals with “great issues of our day.” Given every year, it comes with $100,000. The winning play Monday beat out four other finalists: Robert Schenkkan’s “The Great Society,” Marcus Gardley’s “The House That Will Not Stand,” and two by Branden JacobsJenkins — “Appropriate” and “An Octoroon.”

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Moving into a leadership position will allow you the benefit of making choices that will influence your surroundings. What you learn this year will contribute to and influence the goals you set for years to come. Leave room for rest, relaxation and play, or you will run out of steam before you reach your destination. Your numbers are 7, 12, 20, 27, 31, 39, 48. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be moving along at lightning speed, making it imperative that you are cognizant of what those around you are doing, even if they appear to be moving at a snail’s pace. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself. If you share your secrets with someone, he or she will disappoint you, causing a dispute that can affect your partnership. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The more you contribute to a cause, the more you will get back. Take a position of leadership, but don’t make promises you cannot keep. An honest balance of enthusiasm, hope and reality will make you popular. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Proceed with caution. Someone you least expect will try to make you look bad or ruin your chance to advance. Stay on top of any project you are given. Giving anyone too much responsibility will end in disaster. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Everything you touch will turn to gold. Your charisma will lead to greater popularity. Personal improvement will turn out well, and relationships will be enhanced if you offer praise or a commitment. ��

Washington Wild U19 hockey players (from left) Bethany Akers, Lauren White and Ally Absher listen to instructions from a coach prior to a team practice at Xfinity Arena in Everett earlier this month. Akers (Monroe High School), White (Glacier Peak High School) and Absher (Marysville Pilchuck High School) are three of several Snohomish County players on the team.

No sugar, no spice, not so nice The Washington Wild, a U19 girls hockey team with several players from Snohomish County, play a game where bruises are a badge of honor. By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EVERETT _ Some girls are sugar and spice and everything nice. But other girls play ice hockey, a sport with no place for all that sweet stuff. Just ask the members of the Washington Wild, a top U19 girls hockey team with players from throughout the Puget Sound area, including several from Snohomish County. They play a game that is fast and physical, and one where bruises and other injuries are seen as badges of honor. “I love being physical,” explained winger Ally Absher, a senior at Marysville Pilchuck High School and a 13-year hockey player. “Contact is my thing.” Though hockey for girls is less hazardous than hockey for men and older boys — by rule, fullbody checks are not permitted — it is hardly passive. Collisions are inevitable and tempers sometimes flare, though there is also plenty of skill, athleticism and end-to-end excitement. “It’s like the fastest, most thrilling game,” said defenseman

Laura Stump, a sophomore at Lynnwood High School and a four-year hockey player. “And you not only have to be fast, you have to think fast. You always have to be on your toes and aware of everything that’s going on around you. Because at any moment you can be smashed up against the boards and have no idea what’s going on.” Goalie Bethany Akers, a junior at Monroe High School and an 11-year hockey player, says she tried figure skating as a young girl, but after a few minutes of an introductory session the instructor “told my parents, ‘Put her in hockey. She’ll never be a figure skater.’” See WILD, Page C6

M’s Hultzen: Definitely back to where I was before’ Left-hander has missed most of past two seasons with shoulder problems By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Want to know how good Danny Hultzen is feeling these days in the Seattle Mariners’ camp after missing most of the past two seasons because of an ailing left shoulder that eventually required major surgery? Let’s talk college hoops. Ask Hultzen, a Virginia alum, how far his beloved Cavaliers can go this season.

Kentucky? OK, there’s some confidence for you ... and Hultzen is nearly as upbeat about his own recovery from surgery to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. “Yeah, it feels completely normal,” he said. “I feel like I’m back. I have no idea what a game will be like. I haven’t been in a fullgame situation in a long time. But as far as how my arm feels, and being able to let it go, I’m definitely back to where I was before.”

Mariners manager Lloyd McLendon says pitcher Felix Hernandez “can do whatever the (heck) he wants to do,” C2 “ I think they can win it,” he declared. “When Justin Anderson is back, I think they have a good shot. They can beat Kentucky, for sure.” For sure? No. 1 and unbeaten

Storm acquires Hollingsworth Herald News Services SEATTLE — The Seattle Storm acquired center Quanitra Hollingsworth and the 20th overall pick in the 2015 WNBA draft on Monday in exchange for the 15th overall pick in the draft prevously owned by the Storm.

The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — That Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez hasn’t yet stepped to the mound for a bullpen workout in spring training isn’t new or particularly surprising. “Felix can do whatever the (heck) he wants to do,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “He has his own beat. He usually doesn’t throw early. I have no concerns because he’s in great shape. I’m really impressed.” Hernandez took part Monday in PFP (pitchers’ fielding practice) and led his group through such drills as the pitcher-to-first and pitcher-to-third bunt plays. But he generally spends the first few days just playing catch. As pitching coach Rick Waits noted prior to Saturday’s first official workout, “All of a sudden, it’s ‘I’m ready.’ Last year, it was the fifth or sixth day that he got on the mound.” Most pitchers throw bullpen workouts every other day early in camp. Taijuan Walker and Roenis Elias headed a group Monday who threw their second session. Once Hernandez feels “ready,” he’ll get together with Waits to map out a spring schedule to target him toward the season opener April 6 against the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field. “If you look at him,” McClendon said, “he’s in tremendous shape. I was just shocked at how slim he looks. He’s really worked extremely hard this winter.” It’s hard to argue with Hernandez’s approach. This year projects as his eighth start in a season opener. He is 5-0 with a 1.52 ERA in his previous seven.

Paxton has sore forearm Lefty James Paxton has also yet to throw a bullpen workout — but for a different reason: He’s nursing a sore forearm after stumbling last week in an agility drill through a series of hoops. “I was doing agilities,” he said, “and I just bit it. I caught my foot on the turf, and I fell forward on my hands. I feel fine now, but they’re

How nice would that be? Not immediately perhaps, but as, say, an ace in the hole down the road? Hultzen, now 25, was the second overall pick in the 2011 draft and had reached Triple-A Tacoma by 2013 before his shoulder broke down. His minor-league record was 15-8 with a 2.66 ERA in 38 starts. Cue the caution from club officials. “He feels really good about himself,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said, “but the realistic part of this is he’s missed an entire year. He’s going to have to pitch in the minor leagues. That’s just how it is.” Hultzen closed his rehab work last season with an eye-popping, 25-pitch outing in the Instructional League. That sent him into the winter with a surge of relief and renewed confidence. “I got a little bit emotional afterward,” he said. “It had been

Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon talks with bench coach Trent Jewett during spring training practice Saturday in Peoria, Ariz. just being careful. They don’t want to push me too hard or anything.” Paxton said he threw afterwards and experienced some soreness, which prompted the Mariners to shut him down and order up an Xray and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam. “Everything looks good,” he said. “We’re just kind of waiting for that bruising to clean up. ... It’s like punching a punching bag, and you get sore wrists. It’s kind of that same feeling.” Club officials are taking a cautious approach. “He says he feels good,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said, “but we’re not going to have him throw until it’s completely quieted down. It doesn’t make any sense (for him to throw) this early.” Zduriencik estimated it would be “at least a few days” before Paxton is

able to resume full workouts. Paxton missed four months last season because a strained back muscle. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he said. “You bust it (in off-season workouts), getting ready for this, and something like this happens. It’s frustrating. “It’s something I’ve done a thousand times. It’s just one of those crazy things. I can’t explain it. An unathletic moment for me. I’ve done (the drill) since then, and I’m totally fine.” The latest tests on Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez revealed brain activity, but he remains in “critical” condition, according to Lavinotinto.com in Venezuela. The website also said Sanchez, 20, remains in an induced coma in a Ca-

such a long process. I got to a point where I was feeling pretty normal, and that was pretty cool. “I had surgery on Oct. 1, 2013, and my last day here was Oct. 1, 2014. It was exactly one year. It was a good good-bye on the one-year anniversary of my surgery.” Hultzen said the Mariners haven’t yet talked to him about pitch counts or an innings limit for the upcoming season. But it’s coming. He worked just 352⁄3 innings in 2013 and none a year ago. “We need to take it slow with him, obviously,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I don’t put any limitations on any player, but we’re probably building for 2016, more than anything, with him. We just need to take it slow and build his innings up and get him ready to go out and be competitive.” Hultzen said he hasn’t thought much about what comes next. For now, just getting back on the mound, pain-free, is enough. “I don’t like to think too far into the future,” he said. “I’m

just focused on being healthy. I’m just really, really happy this whole process has gone well.” There were low points, certainly. The biggest one came roughly a year ago — right here in spring training — roughly five months after surgery. “It was my first day at 60 feet,” Hultzen recalled. “I was just playing catch, and I was trying my hardest just to get it there in the air. I was like, ‘Geez, this is 60 feet.’” He now covers the distance with a free-and-easy motion in which he is again stepping straighter toward the plate, as he did in college. Gone is the crossfire delivery he adopted in an effort to relieve shoulder pain. Hultzen said the switch came after he and Gary Wheelock, the organization’s rehab pitching coordinator, studied film of Hultzen’s time at Virginia and Double-A Jackson. “I think it was just one of those things where I was trying to take a little bit of stress off my arm,” Hultzen said. “It made my arm feel a little bit better to try to throw like that. Obviously, that

didn’t work. “The stepping-straight thing, it’s not a huge change, but I think it’s going to help out a lot.” Catcher John Hicks teamed Sunday with Hultzen on a bullpen workout. The two were teammates at Virginia — so who better to judge Hulten’s recovery? “He looked, pretty much, like the old guy,” Hicks said. “I caught him a lot in college and a little bit here in years past. His velocity was back. It was coming out really good. “He had the same sink, the same run on the ball that he always had.” Hultzen’s biggest concerns these days are tightening his breaking ball and finding a consistent release point for his slider, pretty much the sort of stuff that every pitcher works on in spring training. “It felt good to just be amongst the guys,” Hultzen said. “I remember last year being able to do the drills but no throwing. Then just watching the bullpens. It was really cool (Sunday) to just be part of everything.”

Sanchez update

racas hospital from injuries suffered Feb. 13 when struck in the head by a boat’s propeller while swimming at Carupano on the country’s central coast. The Mariners signed Sanchez as a 16-year-old in 2011 for $2.5 million. He was 7-6 with a 4.19 ERA last season at Double-A Jackson before making seven starts for Caracas in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Reports: Red Sox agree to deal with Cuban teenager Moncada Herald news services General manager Brian Cashman said the New York Yankees put their “best foot forward” trying to sign Cuban phenom Yoan Moncada. But it wasn’t enough. According to various reports, the 19-year-old infielder agreed to a deal with the Red Sox worth $31.5 million Monday. Cashman would not say what the Yankees’ final offer was but, according to an industry source familiar with the club’s thinking, it was in the range of $25 million. “We went where we were comfortable going,” Cashman said. “It was an uncomfortable number to put forth, but it still fell short.” The Yankees worked Moncada out privately three times and “loved” the player, according

to club insiders, but ultimately managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, because of the hefty tax his team would have incurred and the uncertainty surrounding any 19-year-old prospect, was unwilling to give Cashman the go-ahead to sign him at whatever the cost. The Yankees blew past their international money pool limit last year, meaning the cost for landing Moncada would have been double whatever they signed him for because of a 100-percent tax imposed by MLB. The Red Sox were in a similar boat so Moncada cost them $63 million. “I think it was a significant issue for a lot of people, even for the Red Sox, I’m sure,” Cashman said of the tax. “It’s definitely a hurdle to deal with.”

The Yankees, with an allotment of just over $2 million, committed about $15 million on 10 international players last July, with all 10 holding spots on Baseball America’s Top 30 international prospects list. “We’re proud of the players we did sign and the work we’ve done on the international side and we’re continuing to look at what’s available out there,” Cashman said. “We were involved in Moncada until the very end. Yesterday they said they were going to make a decision and wanted your best offer. We put forward that and it just didn’t work.” Moncada, a switch hitter who has been compared by some to the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig, projects mostly as a third or second baseman, two positions where the Yankees’ system needs depth.

“It’s part of the process,” Cashman said, asked if he was disappointed. “Again, we made our final and best offer yesterday. I don’t think anybody disagrees with the abilities. I would doubt there’s any disagreement on the scouting assessments of the player, it just comes down to how much money you’re willing to commit. We put our best foot forward yesterday. It was a significant offer, but it fell short.”

A-Rod arrives at Yankees camp TAMPA, Fla. — A remorseful Alex Rodriguez arrived at Yankees camp Monday, saying he was solely motivated toward earning his keep after making a mess of things in 2014. “I served a big penalty, personally and professionally,” Rodriguez said of the full-season suspension by Major League Baseball for steroids-related offenses. “And now all my focus is on

2015 and trying to make this team.” Three days before the first official workout of Yankees position players, Rodriguez arrived at the team’s complex to take a physical and take grounders and batting practice on the minor-league side.

Upton: Call me Melvin, not B.J. ATLANTA — There is a new-look Upton headed to the Braves’ camp. The centerfielder known as B.J. Upton through his first 11 major league seasons with Tampa Bay and Atlanta is now listed as Melvin Upton Jr. on the Atlanta Braves’ roster. Upton’s old initials stood or Bossman Junior, from his father Manny’s nickname “Bossman.” Upton’s full name is Melvin Emanuel Upton. Braves position players are due to report to the team’s spring training site in Kissimmee, Florida, on Wednesday and have their first fullsquad workout the following day. The Braves say Upton will answer questions about his name change when he reports.

Monroe’s Zimmerman to walk on at WSU By David Krueger Herald Writer

In the fall, Monroe senior quarterback Andrew Zimmerman wasn’t worried about recruiting. Zimmerman was too busy leading the Bearcats to a 4-0 start to the season and prime position for a postseason berth. That made it all the worse when Zimmerman went down with a torn medial collateral ligament in Monroe’s fifth game of the year against Kamiak in midOctober. One of the leaders of the team, Zimmerman still put the team first, coaching up his younger brother Zach who took over at quarterback for Monroe. “I don’t know if a 17- or 18-year old football player could have handled it any better,” said former Monroe head coach Brett Jay, who coached the Bearcats for the 2014 season. “He just continued to show up every day and lead however he possibly could. He was just a great teammate. He would even give his input on Friday nights on the playfield. He’s a very smart, cerebral football player.” Prior to his injury, Zimmerman had sent out recruiting videos and heard from a couple of smaller schools, like Whitworth and Chapman (California). After the season ended, Jay sent Zimmerman’s highlight real to Washington State University, who got back to him the same day

about hosting his quarterback for a visit. “They got back to me within hours and asked if I wanted to go over to the Apple Cup,” Zimmerman said. “I went over there and watched them play, met with one of their coaches and committed two months later. “It was super quick. I hadn’t even begun to talk to them until after the injury.” Unlike other schools who cut off contact with Zimmerman after his injury, WSU made it clear they wanted the quarterback to walk on and compete for a job. “They always bring on five or six quarterbacks and they said it’s an open competition,” said Zimmerman, who is looking to major in either sports management or sports broadcasting at WSU. “They told me, ‘You’re going to be a freshman coming into a program with a lot of experienced quarterbacks. But quarterbacks are always getting reps.’ They’re always having quarterbacks throw. “I’m stoked. It’s always been my dream to play D-I, Pac-12 football. To get this opportunity is awesome. I’m ecstatic to play with the best of the best.” Jay wasn’t surprised at all that Washington State showed interest in his quarterback. “He’s an incredible young man,” Jay said. “He deserves the absolute best. He’s a 4.0 student and he’s our student body president.

I think all those roles he plays — he’s just going to be a great leader in their locker room and in their program. He leads by actions. He goes out and just does it. That’s exactly what he did for our football team.” After seeing all his older brother has been through the past five months, perhaps no one is happier for Andrew Zimmerman than his younger brother, Zach. “The week after it’s like, ‘(I wish) it didn’t happen.’ It was rough. He’s pretty much my role model,” Zach Zimmerman said. “I look up to him for everything — school and sports — growing up as a kid I wanted to be like him. Everything ran smoothly for him and then this happened. It was a big blow to me. That’s my big brother. “Now, I’m the proud brother. Shoot, he’s got the opportunity to play D-I football.” Jay praised Zimmerman’s commitment to the Bearcats, even after his injury. He went over film with Zach and took on a coaching role as his knee healed up. “In my eyes he’d play through me,” Zach Zimmerman said. “He’d teach me what he knows and then when something good happens you should’ve

seen his eyes. It’s like it was him out there. In the weeks after he was still a little shooken up. He wished he was on the field.” The younger Zimmerman said the knee injury — which required surgery — could barely slow Andrew Zimmerman down. “Oh my gosh, he’d still be out there on the practice field in his crutches in the pouring-down rain,” Zach Zimmerman said. “It didn’t matter. He was out there. It was on his mind all the time: getting back. He was working hard from the get go.” The duo has continued to work together to improve in the offseason. Andrew, who was medically cleared on Feb. 3, and Zach — who will be a junior next year at Monroe — continue to throw together. “One thing Zach and I will be doing a lot is throwing with each other,” Andrew Zimmerman said. “I’ve got to rehab and he’s got to work on some stuff like I do. We like to push each other and compete. I’ll definitely be working a lot with him in the next couple months.” Zach Zimmerman said he has no doubt in his mind his older brother will pick up right where he left off: winning games.

Congratulations!

“I know he’s going to fight to start,” Zach Zimmerman said. “That’s what he does. He’s been fighting for the past five months because of his knee injury. He’s a fighter. He’s going to go and fight for that spot.”

Lee won the 4A state championship in the 200 Freestyle, finished third in the 100 Backstroke and helped the Knights to 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the 200 Freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay respectively this past Saturday at the 4A state meet. Lee set a school-record in the 100 freestyle while leading off the 400 freestyle relay, breaking the record set by Eben Schumann earlier during the meet.

According to a report, the agent for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson told a team official the player will never play for the Vikings again.

Report: Peterson’s agent, Vikings official had altercation at combine By Matt Vensel Star Tribune

CBS Sports is reporting that Ben Dogra, the agent for suspended and disgruntled Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, and Rob Brzezinski, Vikings vice present of football operations, got into a “heated verbal altercation” about Peterson at the scouting combine and had to be separated. According to the CBS report, Dogra also “made it clear that Peterson would never play there again.” If the report has merit, it would be the latest twist in the Peterson saga, which has quickly turned ugly. The Vikings have praised Peterson in the media in recent weeks, saying they

would like him to play for the team this season. But on Thursday, Peterson told ESPN he is uneasy about a return. NFL teams routinely use the scouting combine to touch base with their players, whether they are soon-to-be free agents, players with tricky contract situations or just players they want to check in on. While the Vikings are allowed only limited communication with Peterson through their legal team while he is suspended, they are allowed to speak with his agent. Brzezinski is the team’s lead contract negotiator, though the report did not say what specifically led to his blow-up with Dogra. The Vikings were checking out running backs

at the combine over the weekend in the event that they will be without Peterson’s services going forward. He is eligible to be reinstated on April 15. If Peterson isn’t reinstated until then, more than a month after the start of free agency, most of the NFL’s free-agent money will have been spent, giving more leverage to the Vikings if they do request that he take pay cut to reduce his restrictive $12.75 base salary and $15.4 salary cap hit for 2015. Given his age, contract and recent legal woes, Peterson might not have much trade value if he is requesting one, though it is expected that teams would show interest were he to become available.

Seahawks plan to expand CenturyLink Field by 1,000 seats for 2015 season Associated Press SEATTLE — CenturyLink Field will have an additional 1,000 seats for the 2015 NFL season under expansion plans officially unveiled by the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks announced the planned expansion for one of the

loudest venues in the NFL on Monday. The area — called the “Toyota Fan Deck” — will include all padded seats. There will also be a partially covered open air viewing and gathering area with multiple televisions, a fireplace, views of the playing field, and food and beverage stands. The

expansion is being done around the “12th Man Flag” that is raised before every Seahawks game. Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin said the expansion will help accommodate some of the growing demand for tickets. The Seahawks are privately funding the expansion.

Cardinals extend contracts of Arians, GM Keim Associated Press PHOENIX — After consecutive seasons with double-digit wins, the Arizona Cardinals have extended the contracts of coach Bruce Arians and general manager Steve Keim. The new deals put the pair under contract through the 2018 season with a team option for 2019. Under Keim and Arians, the Cardinals went 10-6 in 2013, then 11-5 last season, earning a wild-card playoff berth. “Two years ago we hired

Steve and Bruce a few days apart and believed we had something really special,” Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said in a statement. “Every day since then, they have done nothing but validate that belief.” Arians was NFL coach of the year last season, the second time he has received the award in three years. He won it for the 2012 season when he served as interim coach of the Indianapolis Colts while Chuck Pagano battled leukemia. Pro Football Talk named Keim NFL executive of the

year each of the past two seasons. Under their previous agreements, both were under contract through 2016, with a team option for Arians in 2017. Terms were not revealed, but both deals have substantial pay raises. The 62-year-old Arians was a longtime assistant coach before finally getting his chance for the top job. He was offensive coordinator of the Colts when Pagano became ill. The Colts were 9-3 in the 12 games that Arians was interim head coach.

RB Williams says Panthers are releasing him Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams said the team plans to release him after nine seasons. Williams told Charlotte television station WBTV Monday that he was informed of the decision in a meeting last week with general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Ron Rivera. Panthers spokesman Steve Drummond

confirmed the meeting, but said the team hasn’t released Williams and there would be no action taken on Monday. Although Williams is the franchise’s all-time leading rusher with 6,846 yards, his production dropped off this past season. Williams, who turns 32 in April, missed 10 games due to injuries last season and was limited to 219 yards rushing. He averaged a mere 3.5 yards per carry and did not score a touchdown.

Jonathan Stewart remerged as the team’s top ball carrier last season, rushing for 809 yards and three touchdowns. Williams said Gettleman told him he was being cut because the team doesn’t run the ball enough to justify keeping him and Jonathan Stewart on the roster. It’s possible the team could designate Williams as a post-June 1 cut. That would save about $2 million under the team’s 2015 salary cap.

No one really thinks of girls hockey and I really like that. I like that it’s different.” Cindy Dayley of Shoreline, the president and coaching director of the Western Washington Female Hockey Association (WWFHA), the organization that oversees the Wild, says there “is something about (hockey) that’s unique. It’s a sport that once it gets a hold of you, it seems to never let go. “It’s fast, it’s quick, and

there’s a lot of agility that’s needed to play the sport. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of effort, and these kids give up a lot to be here,” she said. The Wild competes in a seven-team league that is part of the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, with the other six teams coming from the lower mainland of British Columbia. To cut down on travel distance for the Canadian teams, the Wild plays its home games in Bellingham while making road trips to the Vancouver area, and often doing both on the same weekend. Earlier this season, the Wild also made two trips to East Coast tournaments, which is a chance for players to showcase their skills for college coaches. And the opportunity to continue playing hockey in college is a goal for many girls on the team. As Stump explained, “that’s pretty much all I’m

The younger ages are growing amazingly quick and under the age of 10 it’s exploding.”
