international media outlets. People sent cards and said they were praying for her recovery. Schoolchildren drew get-well cards and posters, some of which are displayed in the Granite Falls-area home where Skorjanc and her fiancé, Ty Suddarth, moved last fall. Next weekend will mark one year since the March 22, 2014, mudslide and Skorjanc said she is still surprised to see her name, as well as those of Duke and Suddarth, mentioned in followup news accounts from as far away as Britain and Australia. “It’s still unreal to me, it’s very

OLYMPIA — A bill enabling Marysville and Arlington to offer new manufacturing businesses a tax break if they create high-paying jobs has cleared a big hurdle. Passed by the state Senate, the bill allows the cities to exempt companies from paying a portion of property taxes if they create at least 25 jobs that pay at least $18 an hour. Marysville and Arlington leaders think it would help attract aerospace, high-tech and manufacturing companies to an area the cities have designated for industrial development. “We’re hoping to be businessfriendly,” said Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, who first proposed the idea in 2013. “It doesn’t mean it will be a panacea, but it will make us competitive.” Other states already offer the same or similar incentives to the very companies the two cities are trying to land, said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert “We don’t have the economic development tools other states are utilizing. We want to be able to compete with them,” she said. Senate Bill 5761 cleared the Senate on a 48-0 vote March 5. It is set for a public hearing Wednesday in the House Technology and Economic Development Committee. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Kirk Pearson, R-Monroe, targets prospective development on land zoned industrial and manufacturing.

Amanda Skorjanc holds her son, Duke Suddarth, 17 months, during a music class March 3 at the Marysville Public Library. Skorjanc and Duke were at their home in Oso a year ago when the mudslide hit and swept them hundreds of feet away. Skorjanc suffered major injuries, including a fractured ankle, two broken legs, a broken arm and a fracture near her eye. Despite her injuries, she was able to hold onto Duke, who suffered a skull fracture. Skorjanc just completed her 10th and, she hopes, final surgery.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — For Amanda Skorjanc, all it takes is an unexpected noise — a strong gust of wind, the buzz of a low-flying plane — to trigger memories of the Oso mudslide. That day last spring, the sound was like a truck hitting a rumble strip, and what followed changed her life forever. She saw nearby houses explode, a neighbor’s chimney come through her front door, lights in her home shake and flicker. Then everything went dark. The tsunami of mud and debris flung both her and her

son. “I did not let that baby go for one second,” she said. They were trapped in debris, unable to move. Rescuers used chain saws to free her while her baby turned blue in her arms. At Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center, Skorjanc was swaddled in bandages and casts, her left eye bruised and swollen. Her injuries were similar to those of someone in a highspeed car crash: a fractured ankle, two broken legs, broken bones in her left arm and a fracture near her eye. After an interview a few weeks after the mudslide, Skorjanc’s photo and her descriptions were picked up by national and

humbling,” she said. “We’re just a tiny family in a tiny little town. And our story has reached all the way around the world.”

Like the media attention, Skorjanc’s medical problems persist a year later, even after 10 surgeries. Duke will undergo surgery next week. Skorjanc left Harborview last spring in a wheelchair, with her legs and arm in protective casts and braces. She was told she would need to use a wheelchair for about 10 weeks to allow time for the pins, rods and plates securing her bones and joints to do their work, to allow her to heal. Using a wheelchair for mobility and staying off her feet were a hard adjustment for Skorjanc, just 25 years old and a new mom. In June, Skorjanc, an avid Seahawks fan, was wheeled into the team’s training center in Renton, joined by Suddarth and Duke. She got to meet cornerback Richard Sherman and asked him to sign her arm with a Sharpie. “Right on the dotted line,” she told him, referring to the long, pink surgery scar with needlepoint-like dots above and below — the remaining imprints of her stitches. “He said I was one tough mama.” By July, Skorjanc had shed most of her medical paraphernalia, except for a toe-to-knee black boot on her left leg. It had been her goal to participate in a July 27 Oso Strong fundraising run and walk, on a bright, sunny day in Arlington.

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Duke Suddarth is expected to be in the hospital on the anniversary of the Oso mudslide.

Accompanied by Duke and Suddarth, it took Skorjanc an hour and 55 minutes to finish the 3.2mile walk. As she entered the home stretch, obviously in pain, people lined the course to cheer and yell encouragement. She crossed the finish line, grinning, exhausted and wiping away tears, from both the physical grind of the walk and the emotion of the event. Earlier this month, Skorjanc smiled as she talked about that day. “They said I pushed it too hard last year.” Even now, each day presents a new boundary to push through. On some days, she dreads getting out of bed, anticipating jolts of pain caused by the medical armor in her body. “It takes all I have to take that first step,” she said. One thing helps, she said. “Little Duke,” now 17 months old. “Once I see him smiling, there really is no pain. My heart is so full of love.” Like his mom, Duke was injured while being violently knocked about by

the mudslide’s debris. He had a fractured skull when he first arrived at Harborview, his condition critical. The skull fracture and trauma caused his brain to swell, pinching his optic nerve, affecting his left peripheral vision. Last month, doctors said that Duke needed surgery to fully repair and mend the fracture. Skorjanc couldn’t hold back her tears. She soon felt a small hand gently patting her arm — Duke trying to comfort her.

Wedding plans Skorjanc met Suddarth not long after moving to the Seattle area in July 2012. “I was 23 and no kids,” she said. They quickly became a couple. Duke was born on Oct. 6, 2013. Despite their strong relationship, Suddarth would sometimes tease Amanda that they weren’t getting married for decades. All that changed in the confusing, emotionally charged aftermath of the disaster. Suddarth, who had left home the morning

of the mudslide to run an errand, initially didn’t know whether Amanda or Duke survived. That night, Suddarth asked Amanda’s dad for permission to marry her. Suddarth “told me he almost lost us one time and he didn’t want to think about losing us again,” Skorjanc said. On April 26, 2014, dressed in a blue hospital gown, he proposed to Skorjanc in her Harborview room, presenting an engagement ring from his great-grandmother’s wedding set. It was a family heirloom — especially meaningful to a couple who recovered little from their Oso home other than one of Ty’s “12th Man” Seahawks shirts. Suddarth, 36, works as a construction foreman. They set their wedding date: Aug. 15, 2015. Since January, Skorjanc’s days have been filled with the details of wedding planning: trips to the florist, consulting with the designer of her wedding dress, professional photos of the couple. The approaching wedding was a welcome distraction from news that she would have to go back to Harborview in February for her 10th surgery. Last year’s surgical fixes to her left leg caused her calf to grow rigid, allowing no flexibility. Surgeons had to realign the metal and screws that held her foot in place, said Amanda’s mom, Susan Skorjanc. So Skorjanc is back in a wheelchair and cannot put weight on her foot. Her left leg is sealed in thick protective bandages, from her foot to her knee. She’ll be in a cast, and off her feet, for another six weeks. “It’s like a roller coaster,” she said. “Before the slide I was completely fine. I never had a broken bone in my life. The slide hit. Then, three limbs were broken. I’m healed up, totally independent. One surgery, and I’m totally laid out again. It’s hard emotionally. Being in that hospital brought Ty and I right back to that day — a nightmare deja vu.”

Duke’s surgery is scheduled for next Thursday at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Skorjanc was separated from him last year for about 10 days while being

treated herself. This time, “I’m not leaving Duke’s side.” Doctors say his fracture should heal in about a year. Duke is expected to be in the hospital March 22, the anniversary of the disaster, so neither parent plans to attend events that weekend. Skorjanc said she wants to thank everyone who prayed for her family and those who donated or volunteered after the disaster. If the Oso Strong race is held again this year, “I’m signing up,” she said. “Even if I just have to root people on, I’ll be there.” With help from her mom, Skorjanc brings Duke to a weekly music class in Marysville. As the day of his surgery nears, she wants to spend as much time with him as she can. Her son bounces up and down to the rhythm of the music, beats on a tambourine, and often walks over to his mom or grandma to sit in their laps. On his feet are black-andyellow fireman’s boots from which he is nearly inseparable. They were a first birthday present from a firefighter who was with him the day of the mudslide. Skorjanc sometimes allows herself to think a little beyond the daily demands of family and medical appointments to consider the future. She said she’s ready to have another baby; she and Suddarth hope to have at least two more children. Duke, she said, will be a good big brother, and “I’ll be the best stay-at-home mom I can be.” When a new Seahawks season arrives, and she can walk again, life might once again begin to return to traditional rituals. A crisp fall Sunday afternoon. An opportunity for her and Suddarth to return to CenturyLink Field. For Skorjanc to morph into her super-fan persona, donning Mardi Gras-like blue-and-green beads, wearing a “big hair” wig and a navy-and-green tutu. “It’s nice to kind of break the norm and do something that doesn’t make me think about what happened or how much pain I’m in,” she said. “It’s a way to kind of escape.” Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com.

No criminal charges planned for fatal punch Prosecutors say they don’t believe Michael Galen intended to kill Jarom Thomas when the two teens agreed to resolve a dispute over a fender bender with a single punch. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — Prosecutors don’t plan to file criminal charges against a teenager who threw a single punch that led to the death of 18-year-old Jarom Thomas.

A Snohomish County deputy prosecutor met with Thomas’ parents Wednesday to explain his decision not to charge Michael Galen in connection with the Dec. 21 death. “The facts in this case are very unique,” deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said Thursday.

Witnesses and Galen, 18, told investigators that Thomas agreed to be punched to settle a dispute over a fender bender. Galen and Thomas were at a party in the Lake Roesiger area when Thomas struck a car belonging to Galen’s friend. The accident caused minimal damage. Witnesses said there was some pushing and yelling between the two. The teens reached their agreement, shook hands, smoked

a cigarette and then Galen punched Thomas, according to police records. The force caused Thomas to fall backward and he struck his head on the pavement. The Snohomish County medical examiner concluded that Thomas suffered a skull fracture and fatal brain injury when he hit the pavement. Galen initially was booked for second-degree manslaughter. He later was released pending the investigation.

“This is not an intentional homicide and we don’t reach the mental state of recklessness or negligence,” Matheson said. To convict Galen of manslaughter, prosecutors would have to prove that he knew of and disregarded the substantial risk that a punch would kill Thomas, or that he failed to be aware that his actions could lead to death. Given Galen’s age and limited See PUNCH, Page A4

Five years ago, the picture was bleak. “When I was 15, I was in a lot of trouble. I was hanging out with the wrong people,” Brougher told a supportive audience Wednesday.

She and others told of escaping the snares of drug use at a Reclaiming Futures Celebration held Wednesday afternoon in the Everett Music Hall at Everett Mall.

LAKE STEVENS — A memorial service is planned Saturday for Robert Marshall, the longtime Lake Stevens fire marshal who died March 2 from heart problems. The 62-year-old was known affectionately as “Marshal Marshall,” because his name happened to match his job.

Marshall always put his family first, and stayed active in church life, playing his guitar for services, Mary Marshall said. Her husband was an outgoing and responsible man who always ended up in leadership roles, even when he was a painter, she said.

MUKILTEO — For years, Japanese Gulch was the city’s favorite unofficial park. People visited the wooded area to enjoy wildlife, trails and views, even though most of the land was privately owned. That changed last year with the final, and largest, acquisition by the city of 98 acres, the capstone to a 144-acre park. The city is formally planning the future of Japanese Gulch. As part of that effort, a volunteer event is planned for Saturday to

help restore an area that had been heavily used by bicycle motocross (BMX) enthusiasts. The event is organized by the nonprofit Seattle group EarthCorps. “Some energetic people went in there and constructed some pretty significant hills and gullies,” said Bill Brosseau, a field director for EarthCorps in Seattle. “Clearly the area was impacted. No one could argue that.” Grading occurred without permits, Brosseau said. That meant there was a use occurring in Japanese Gulch that is no longer permitted. The nonprofit worked on an

Aid sought in starfish dieoff McClatchy Washington Bureau WASHINGTON — With millions of starfish dying all along the West Coast, Washington Democrats in the U.S. House say it’s time for Congress to intervene and find out why. The outbreak, first noticed in the state by rangers in Olympic National Park in June 2013, has hit 20 species of starfish, also known as sea stars. After getting lesions on their bodies, the sea stars soon lose their legs, shriveling up

and disintegrating. Researchers fear the epidemic may be the result of a virus caused by climate change, with the disease showing its fastest progression in warmer ocean waters. “There has never been an outbreak of disease in natural populations of animals that I know that’s been this large,” said Drew Harvell, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University who’s been studying the starfish deaths on the San Juan Islands. Rep. Denny Heck and

Washington’s five other House Democrats, want the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to declare “sea star wasting syndrome” an emergency before the starfish becomes extinct. Heck’s bill would require federal agencies to create a rapid response plan and free up research money for scientists, though it’s uncertain what it might end up costing. For starters, Heck wants Congress to set aside $12 million to coordinate research among federal agencies.

former Risk Watch students, now grown, would come up to him in public and say they’d remembered his lessons on fire prevention, Mary Marshall said. “We couldn’t go anywhere without somebody recognizing him and saying, ‘Hi,’ “she said. Even when times were tough, the Marshalls liked to make a good Christmas for their kids. Once Marshall’s wife joined him on a work trip that involved a stop by Disney World, just in time for their 25th anniversary. “I just remember laughing with him,” she said. “I loved to try to make him smile and be silly.” Everyone has offered so much support, including Marshall’s co-workers helping with funeral costs, that the family finds “blessings in our sorrow,” she said. The Marshalls had moved to Lake Stevens in 1982. It was there that Marshall saw

Before that, he’d worked in construction and the insurance business. In more than 20 years with the district, he worked as a firefighter, in fire prevention and as the fire marshal. Marshall was an advocate for CPR training and also taught fire science at Everett Community College. “The community lost a terrific resource,” Lake Stevens Fire Chief Dave Lingenfelter said Thursday.

Marshall was extremely dedicated, and he loved the education side of his job, the chief said. “He seemed to get a kick out of everyday activities,” Lingenfelter said. “He had a serious side but he also liked to have fun.” Marshall was a role model for how public safety agencies can provide outreach to their communities, Everett Fire Marshal Rick Robinson said. The son of a family friend of the Robinsons went through one of Marshall’s classes, came home and taught his parents how to call 911. “They really viewed him as part of the fabric of the Lake Stevens community and a real positive influence,” Robinson said. Travis Hots, chief of the Getchell and Arlington Rural fire districts, described Marshall as an “exceptional public servant” who saved lives with his safety messages. “I can’t think of a better legacy to leave his community,” Hots said.

about the project’s history. He likened drug court to baking a cake, a step-by-step process akin to a recipe. “With Reclaiming Futures, they gave us the cake,” he said. It was left to organizers and mentors to figure out a recipe that worked to reduce recidivism among young people. Weiss said Reclaiming Futures has been successful in removing barriers that separated drug court, probation, treatment and school. “Now we work together,” he said. No one was celebrating one recent Reclaiming Futures development — the loss of federal grant money. Janelle Sgrignoli is project director for Reclaiming Futures and also works in Superior Court overseeing the county’s drug treatment courts. She said a paid project director for Reclaiming Futures left in August, and that program is now without four-year grant money from two federal sources that totaled more than $300,000. About 60 young people now take part in Reclaiming Futures, and Sgrignoli said organizers must plan to move forward financially. Dingledy acknowledged that challenge. “The grant has expired. I have big shoes to fill,” the judge told the gathering. Asking how she would sustain Reclaiming Futures, Dingledy answered her own question. “I’m not — you are,” she said. Those in attendance were asked to fill out cards showing whether they were willing to volunteer, be team members, donate money or provide spaces for activities. Mia Flores, 18, said mentors have been key to her progress. With Reclaiming Futures, Flores took classes in photography, drawing and calligraphy.

participants’ pictures. “The most important thing I got was my relationship with my mentor. Mentors tell us our self-worth,” Flores said. The Everett teen described earlier years when she spiraled down, using meth and being homeless. “I’m still going through the process and finding out who I am,” said Flores, now a young mother. “We all believe we can do it by ourselves, but really we can’t.” Brougher, who learned to play piano through Reclaiming Futures, said a program doesn’t fix everything. “Everybody deserves a chance, if you want the chance,” she said. “They don’t do your life for you, but it’s nice to have people you can rely on.” Julie Muhlstein: 425-339-3460; jmuhlstein@heraldnet.com.

life experience, it would be a challenge to expect him to know that a single punch could be fatal, Matheson said. The teens’ interaction before the fatal blow also weighed heavily into the deputy prosecutor’s decision. It would be hard to

prove that Galen assaulted Thomas because Matheson would have to convince a jury that the punch was unwanted. “There was an agreement and a handshake,” Matheson said. Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives did not recommend charging Galen after completing their investigation.

“I believe Jarom Thomas’ death is a tragedy and a horrible accident,” detective Tedd Betts wrote. “While the punch itself was intentional, I don’t believe there was any intent to cause death; and I don’t believe Michael Galen could reasonably have believed his punch would or could have caused Thomas’ death.”

Bill would study coal plant’s closing Rail car spill near SEATTLE — Washington lawmakers say they want to study the effects of closing a massive coal-fired power plant in southeastern Montana that provides power to the Northwest. Senate Bill 5874 was initially written to make it easier for owners of the four-unit plant in Colstrip, Montana, to shut that plant down, prompting letters of concern from Montana’s governor and the state’s utility commission. But the Senate amended and passed the bill Wednesday night to call for a study on the costs and benefits of a possible closure. It now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration, where those wanting to wean Washington state off coal hope it can be amended again. Bill sponsor Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, said Thursday that Senate members felt they didn’t have all the information they needed. “I heard from lots of people in Montana and Washington concerned about rushing into a decision that doesn’t need to be made today,” said Ericksen, who chairs the Senate Energy, Environment & Telecommunications Committee. Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, urged support on the Senate floor, saying it would keep the legislation alive so more work can be done in the House. Ranker has said the state has “a moral imperative” to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and wean itself off coal that is exported into the state. The Sierra Club said it hoped changes to the bill

The park’s master plan is expected to be completed in the fall. “That will help get us ready for recreation grant cycles that will begin next year” to pay for park improvements, Gregerson said. One idea that’s been suggested is the development of an environmental center “so that people could appreciate the environmental value of the Gulch,” perhaps in conjunction with a senior center, Gregerson said.

can be made in the House that will lead to retiring Colstrip, a large source of carbon pollution, and replacing that coal-power with cleaner, renewable energy. That’s what troubled Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside, one of three senators who opposed the bill. “This leaves this bill open to all kinds of mischiefs over in the House, the other body, and just because it’s a study here doesn’t mean it’ll come back a study,” he said before Wednesday’s vote. The legislation comes as investor-owned utilities operating in Washington have been under pressure by Gov. Jay Inslee and environmental groups to reduce or eliminate electricity they get from out-of-state coal plants. Washington’s only coal power plant in Centralia is slated to close by 2025. Much of the state’s coalfired electricity comes into the state from the Colstrip plant in Montana, and the Jim Bridger plant in Wyoming. Senate Bill 5874 does not specifically name Colstrip but it would apply. Last month, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock wrote to Inslee and senators, expressing concerns that the bill would have significant impact on his state. The Democrat said he agreed that climate change is a serious issue, but “I have grave concerns when one state takes action that could have significant economic consequences for another state, on a matter that will require action on a much larger scale to be successful.” Last week, Montana’s utility commission also expressed concerns that Washington would take action without consulting

with policymakers in their state. The commissioner’s letter to state Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, D-Burien, urged lawmakers to collaborate with Montana and others in the region. Bellevue-based Puget Sound Energy is the largest owner of Colstrip. PPL Montana operates the facility on behalf of six owners, including Avista and PacifiCorp. A PSE official told lawmakers last month that Puget could acquire an additional interest in Colstrip with the ultimate goal of shutting it down. Meanwhile, a Montana

lawmaker plans to introduce a measure to the Legislature next week requiring any company that shuts down a coal plant to pay annual fees of two times the plant’s taxable value for 10 years. Sen. Duane Ankney, a Republican who represents Colstrip, said if Puget or the plant’s other owners close Colstrip, then they should pay. The Washington bill “caught Montana lawmakers off guard,” Ankney said Thursday. “The severe impact that it would have on Montana economically would have warranted

WASHINGTON — The Federal Railroad Administration has issued a violation against a North Dakota loading facility over a leaking oil car in northwest Washington state that initially wasn’t reported to state officials for a month. The leak was discovered at the BP Cherry Point refinery near Ferndale in early November by federal inspectors. About 1,600 gallons of oil was missing from the car, which had originated in Dore, North Dakota, at a facility operated by Musket Corp. and apparently escaped through a valve that was not properly shut. No local emergency officials were notified, and the state Utilities and Transportation Commission first learned about the spill in early December when BNSF Railway sent the agency a copy of a federal report it had 30 days to file. The FRA violation was issued Jan. 28, two days after McClatchy first reported on the leaking car. The agency has yet to determine the amount of the penalty, and the company will have a chance to negotiate what it will ultimately pay. Though the spill was

detected in Washington, neither the railroad, nor the third-party company that unloaded the oil at Cherry Point, could determine where the missing oil had spilled. BNSF said that no one reported a leaking car or an oil spill along the train’s path. The Washington State Department of Ecology also investigated the incident, but ultimately determined that it could issue no penalties. Dave Byers, the department’s spill response manager, said that the investigation found no direct evidence of a spill. Under federal regulations, the party that loads a rail shipment is responsible for ensuring that the cargo is safely and securely packaged for transportation. Railroads can refuse to accept a load that doesn’t meet federal requirements. The federal violation was issued before a series of oil train derailments that have renewed focus on rail safety. The volume of oil shipped by rail has risen dramatically, and trains are the only practical means of moving oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota to coastal refineries, including those in Washington. In the past month, four oil trains have derailed and caught fire in North America.

Injuries on the rise for Seattle tunnel project By Martha Bellisle

Injuries on the tunnel project

Associated Press

SEATTLE — The four iron workers recently hurt when a wall of rebar gave way during construction of a tunnel under Seattle are among a growing number of workplace injuries the massive project has seen since 2012 — injuries that have resulted in almost $1 million in workers’ compensation claims, according to state occupational safety figures. Those hurt included a worker whose hand was crushed when he was changing the tunnelboring machine’s cutting tool, another who severely injured a knee in a fall and others who suffered chemical burns. Some claims from the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement project totaled several hundred dollars while others were for traumatic injuries that resulted in medical bills running tens of thousands of dollars, according to a spreadsheet of claims provided to The Associated Press by state regulators. In fact, more workers were injured in 2014 than the two previous years combined, state safety figures show, though the contractor reported a lower total number of work hours than the previous year. Seattle Tunnel Partners won the bid to design and build the downtown tunnel, and key to the $3.1 billion project is the giant

boring device Bertha, which began drilling in July 2013 but broke down in December 2013. Work has continued as crews tried to reach and repair Bertha, and the number of injuries has increased, an AP review found. At least 117 workers injured at the project between 2012 and the end of 2014 resulted in an estimated $1 million worth of workers compensation claims, according to data collected by the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health and released to the AP through a public records request. The agency did not have complete claim amounts for the

end of 2014, so that total will increase. It also did not have data for 2015. Dallas Delay of the Seattle/King County Building and Construction Trades Council wrote in an email that the tunnel contractor only started safety meetings with workers’ groups in January 2014 and Seattle Tunnel Partners “does not have a culture of safety” and that the contractor looks “to discipline instead of fixing the hazards.” “We will not tolerate putting our members, nor any others on the project site, at risk,” Delay said in a statement. Seattle Tunnel Partners said in a statement: “Our safety program focuses on

creating safe work conditions and eliminating unsafe work practices and at-risk work behaviors.” Laura Newborn, spokeswoman for the Washington State Department of Transportation, said the safety of the public, its employees and workers is its top priority. But workers compensation data shows injuries are on the rise. Eleven workers filed claims for injuries in 2012 and 42 filed in 2013. Claims jumped to 63 in 2014, according to the state safety agency. The state workers compensation program had paid $733,265 in claims as of Jan. 1, 2015, and had

Here are examples of the injuries suffered by workers at the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project and the expected total workers compensation amount for each claim. ■ A laborer received a wound on his leg on Nov. 27, 2013. Claim: $83,000. ■ A worker suffered a traumatic injury to his knee in a fall Jan. 24, 2014. Claim: $36,000. ■ A worker’s hand was crushed in Bertha’s cutter head when he was changing the cutting tool Jan. 4, 2014. Claim: $20,785. ■ A laborer suffered chemical burns to his legs on Nov. 26, 2012. Claim: $17,222.

estimated the claims would cost $964,920 once each one is completed, according to data provided by Elaine Fischer, an agency spokeswoman. The total will go up again when the newer claims are calculated, Fischer said. Seattle Tunnel Partners listed 29 injuries when it filled out its 2013 OSHA form. That was lower than the 42 workers compensation claims for 2013 because OSHA only requires the project to report injuries that were serious enough to cause

the employee to take time off or move to a different position. The report said its 245 employees worked 681,117 hours that year. Inspectors cited STP in 2013 and fined it $3,600 after a chemical burn injury. In August 2014, another worker suffered chemical burns and inspectors issued more citations and a fine of $7,500. The inspection report said one of the violations was a repeat of the violation they were cited for in 2013, but had not been corrected.

High school kids say pot easy to get, not harmful Associated Press SEATTLE — Washington high school students who participated in a statewide survey say marijuana is easy to get and they do not perceive any risk from smoking pot once or twice. While high school smoking of tobacco continues to go down, marijuana use has remained stable since the last healthy youth survey was conducted two years ago, state health officials said Thursday.

More than 200,000 students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 in Washington public schools took the voluntary and anonymous survey in October. They answered questions about their health and behaviors. About 72 percent of 12thgraders and 61 percent of 10th-graders said they perceived no or low risk from trying marijuana once or twice. And 66 percent of 12th-graders and 53 percent of 10th-graders said marijuana is easy or very

easy to get. Washington legalized marijuana for adult use about two years ago, but it remains illegal for anyone younger than 21 to use or possess pot. Despite the law, about 27 percent of 12th-graders and 18 percent of 10th-graders reported using marijuana at least once during the month before the survey was conducted. Most of the students surveyed reported that they think their parents

believe youth marijuana use is wrong, and those who know of their parents’ objections are somewhat less likely to use it. Students reported less use of alcohol and other drugs than they did in previous surveys. Fewer sophomores reported driving in cars with drinking drivers — 24 percent in 2008 compared with 18 percent in 2014. But health officials reported an increase in the number of students who reported

riding in a car with a driver who had been using marijuana. Washington Health Secretary John Wiesman said he wants to take the lessons learned from helping kids cut down on tobacco and alcohol use and apply them to marijuana. “This includes passing laws limiting youth access to vaping products and funding education campaigns to prevent underage use of marijuana,” Wiesman said in a statement.

Boy arrested for kidnapping had prior case By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — The 15-year-old boy arrested in connection with an attempted kidnapping in Sprague had previously been investigated a year ago for allegedly trying to lure a minor, Lincoln County Prosecutor Jeff Barkdull said Thursday. The sheriff’s office forwarded a report accusing the boy of luring, but the prosecutor’s office decided not to file charges in that case, Barkdull said. “It did not meet the elements of luring,” Barkdull said. “We re-reviewed

it and I stand by the decision.” Barkdull said the previous incident also occurred in Sprague. The 15-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, is scheduled to appear in Lincoln County Superior Court in Davenport on Friday. Barkdull said he has not made a charging decision yet. The attempted kidnapping of the 22-month-old toddler from a city park drew wide attention after it was caught on surveillance video. Sprague is a farm town of about 500 people located about 40 miles west of Spokane along I-90.

The parents of the toddler expressed praise for their two older children, who chased the kidnapper and screamed for help. “They have a motherly instinct,” Michael Wright told The SpokesmanReview about his two older children. “We’re going to watch each other closer and even more diligently than we did before.” Authorities announced the arrest Wednesday afternoon, culminating a tense four days in Sprague. The dramatic surveillance video footage showed a male running down a sidewalk with the toddler in his arms last Sunday. The child’s two siblings screamed and chased him. The scene ended after two teenage boys joined the chase, and the man put down the toddler and fled. The toddler was not hurt. The 15-year-old was booked into a juvenile detention facility on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping, Sheriff Wade Magers said. The incident began after

Michael Wright left his three children with a baby sitter in Sprague on Sunday while he went to work. The children — Brenden, 10, Delicia, 8, and the toddler — were playing unsupervised in a city park near the sitter’s house. Sheriff’s deputies said the suspect talked with the children for a few minutes, then scooped the toddler out of his stroller and ran down the street. Surveillance video from a grocery store showed the kidnapper running, child

in arms, with Delicia chasing and Brenden not far behind. Delicia’s screams alerted Dorothy Giddings, who was working at her antique store downtown. Giddings said she sent her grandson, Andrew Crane, 15, and his friend, Isaac Yow, 16, to chase the man. Giddings said Crane and Yow knew the suspect from school, although they did not recognize him Sunday. “He was wearing glasses and a fake mustache,” she said.

Bill about detaining mentally ill fails

OBITUARIES

By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — A father who lost his suicidal son in a violent standoff with police said he’s disappointed that a bill in the Legislature that would have made it easier to detain mentally ill people who are in crisis apparently won’t pass this session. Doug Reuter, whose son, Joel, was killed after opening fire at Seattle police officers in 2013, said he has not given up hope that lawmakers will change the state’s Involuntary Treatment Act by adding the failed bill to one that is still being considered by lawmakers in the second half of the 2015 session. Reuter had testified before legislative committees that if Washington’s civil commitment act, which states a person can be detained if they are a danger to themselves

Under the bill, taxes that are now paid on the land would continue to be collected. The proposed exemption would apply only to taxes due on the value of improvements, such as construction of new facilities. A company would be exempt from paying those taxes for 10 years under certain conditions, including that the firm create a minimum of 25 jobs that pay at least $18 an hour.

were considering using them for biological warfare. “You have to put it in perspective,” Crouch said. “When the Japanese were doing this, we were burning Japanese cities down to the ground. It was sort of the ultimate Hail Mary pass.” Robert Mikesh, a retired colleague of Crouch at the Smithsonian, wrote extensively about the balloon bombs. “Had these weapons been further exploited by

using germ or gas bombs, the results could have been disastrous to the American people,” he wrote in his book “Japan’s World War II Balloon Bomb Attacks on North America.” Gary Griffith, 83, remembers when the bomb landed in Everett. He knew the area well. He had an afternoon paper route along Glenwood Avenue on March 13, 1945. By the time he reached the patch of brush and secondgrowth woods, it had been cleaned up and deserted. Sensing its historical significance, he scooped up some of the sand that had been used for ballast and picked up a small scrap of the balloon paper and put them in a jar for safekeeping. He’s guessing he lost his war-time relic when his parents moved into a new home. Because it was war time, and there were large-scale fears that information

The bill didn’t progress far in 2013, then passed the Senate in 2014. It was in the mix of items negotiated by the House and Senate in the final days of the session, but the two chambers didn’t agree to move it forward. If the bill becomes law this year it will blaze a new trail by tying receipt of a tax break with creation of jobs paying well more than the state’s minimum wage. Nehring and Tolbert said they’ve not encountered any opposition from business leaders. In the meantime, some Democratic lawmakers and the state’s two largest aerospace worker unions

want to write the same kind of provision into tax incentives granted to the Boeing Co. and hundreds of aerospace firms. Bills to accomplish that are pending in the state House. Nehring said the cities’ effort shouldn’t become linked in any way with the conversation surrounding the aerospace tax breaks. “We came up with this concept before the Boeing debate came up,” he said. “It was never designed to cast any type of opinion on the Boeing bills at all. I think everybody understands that.” Jerry Cornfield: 360352-8623; jcornfield@ heraldnet.com.

about the bombs could get back to the Japanese military and aid in its strategies, Griffith kept his mouth shut. “One of the phrases I remember at the time was, ‘Loose lips sink ships,’” he said. “Nobody talked about it.” That’s the way it was in communities in other states where the bombs landed. It remained that way until May 1945 when a minister’s wife named Elsie Mitchell and five Sunday schoolchildren were killed near Bly, Oregon, as they unwittingly dragged a balloon from the woods, causing the bomb to detonate. After that, the government began issuing public warnings to steer clear of such suspicious objects. News of the Japanese balloon bombs still crops up from time to time. In January, the Canadian

Press reported that a navy bomb disposal team was called to a remote spot in the Monashee Mountains near Lumby, British Columbia, after a balloon bomb was found by forestry workers. The bomb squad blew it up because it was deemed too dangerous to move. At least a part of the balloon that landed in Everett is believed to exist today. In 2008, a Texas woman whose grandfather was a U.S. Air Force pilot during World War II asked the PBS show “History Detectives” to authenticate a scrap of paper believed to be part of a balloon bomb. He’d been given the souvenir at Paine Field. Experts concluded it was from a Japanese balloon bomb, probably from the one disposed of in Everett 70 years ago today.

spend money in the community, they said. “We think it’s a net revenue-generator,” Nehring said. “We don’t have anything in there right now. At the end of the day, nothing of nothing is nothing.” Sen. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, a bill sponsor, said there’s no guarantee it will work. If it turns out well, it might be worth making the tool available for all cities and counties, he said. “These are taxes the locals have control over. Let them do whatever they want. It’s their money,” he said. “If it does what it’s designed to do, maybe we want to do it statewide.”

House Bill 1451 sought to make that change to the law, but it has failed to move forward. “This is the criteria that allowed us to get Joel help in Arizona not once but twice,” he said. “It saved

He said another bill that is still in play, HB1450, would be a perfect way to start phasing in treatment. That bill allows the court to commit someone who meets the criteria for involuntary mental health treatment to a “less restrictive alternative.” Treating people in crisis in an outpatient setting would mean they can get the medications they need without the costs and problems associated with hospitalization, Reuter said. He said the “persistent and acute disability” threshold for detaining people — the language in the bill that died — would over time reduce the need for mental health beds, so he hopes it can be added to a bill still in play.

He said if the measure had passed, it would have increased pressure on a system that is “bursting at the seams.” “Having new grounds to detain people would have compounded existing problems and spread thin the limited resources in the system,” he said. De Felice said he also disagrees with the premise that it’s difficult to detain mentally ill people who are in crisis. He said the court has seen a steady increase in the number of cases it has handled in the past seven years. Reuter agreed that the state’s lack of funding for mental health issues was an obstacle. One of the reasons the bill failed was because Washington’s infrastructure for treating mentally ill people could not handle the number of people who

Margie Mae Wiley (Reece) was born on July 21, 1948 in Arlington, Wash. and then taken straight home to Darrington to be “raised up right” by her parents, Ed and Jean Reece.

M a r g i e e x p l o r e d Wa s h ington, living in many cities and doing all kinds of work, but this lush valley called to her, like it does so many of us. And she came home to her fami ly. Margi e was a hard worker and a generous mother and mother figure to m a ny k i d s t h a t s h e j u s t seemed to “under stand”. Her life was her family, not all related. And for those lucky enough to be a part of that, their lives were forever changed. As of February 28, 2015, Margie has gone on ahead to help make that place that her son, Jody has been working on for us. Of this I am certain. And Oh!! What a day that will be, when we are all together again! Margie leaves behind her husband, Wayne - her protector, her par tner, her rock and the love of her life. Along with him, she leaves their son, Jim Wiley (Cynthia) who made our family complete. She leaves her sister, Linda Mount (Jesse) a n d b rot h e r, M a rk Re e c e ( L u a n a ) .

Margie has 13 beloved grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren with one more on the way! And she leaves behind so many nieces and nephews, honorar y or not, who all called her their favorite.

‘Ambush’ in Ferguson Two wounded officers are in serious condition. Police searched a nearby home. The Washington Post FERGUSON, Mo. — Police spent Thursday searching for the gunman who opened fire during a late-night protest against police misconduct here — a shooting that wounded two officers and brought fear and mistrust back to the streets of this battered St. Louis suburb. At midday Thursday, heavily armed police descended on a house as part of the investigation into the shooting. They brought several people in for questioning, according to Sgt. Brian Schellman, a spokesman for the St. Louis County police. But none of those people were arrested, and by Thursday evening police said they had no one in custody in the case. The two wounded officers remained in serious condition, but police said their wounds were not life-threatening. One, a 41-year-old officer on the St. Louis County police force, was struck in the shoulder. The other, a 32-year-old on the police force of Webster Groves, Missouri, was struck in the cheek; the bullet ended up lodged near his eye.

CHRISTIAN GOODEN / ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

A police tactical team prepares to enter a home in Ferguson, Missouri, on Thursday as they search for a shooting suspect.

The officers were shot at the end of a day that, hours earlier, had appeared to herald progress in Ferguson. Police Chief Thomas Jackson, whose force had been castigated by Justice Department investigators for unfairly targeting black residents, had agreed to step down. His departure had been a key demand of the protest movement that sprang up last summer, after a white Ferguson officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, 18. But after midnight, somebody opened fire from a hilltop, shooting out of the darkness over a small crowd of demonstrators and into a line of cops outside the Ferguson Police Department. Then the shooter disappeared. “What happened last night

was a pure ambush,” Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday in Washington, as his department offered local officials its full range of investigative resources. “This was not someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson. This was a damn punk, a punk, who was trying to sow discord.” If that was the goal, it worked. On Thursday, the shooting — along with the tense protests that preceded it — appeared to have deepened distrust between police and protesters here, after months of gradually diminished tensions. Kevin Ahlbrand, president of the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police, said that the protests late Wednesday were especially confrontational, with a vocal minority of demonstrators

shouting abuse and racial epithets at officers. “I don’t understand it,” said Ahlbrand, who is a sergeant with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. “They got what they have been asking for — for the chief to resign. Why are they angrier now?” Protest leaders condemned the shooting and worried that it may trigger a more aggressive police crackdown. “Whoever did this last night put us all in danger,” said the Rev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor in Ferguson. Blackmon also voiced a theory — shared by many in the Ferguson demonstrations Thursday — that the shooter may have been someone trying to undermine the protest movement by tainting it with violence. “I don’t mean that I have anybody, any person, or any group in mind. But it’s just very difficult not to be suspicious,” Blackmon said. She continued: “I’m suspicious that it is a random act that happened to happen last night. And it wasn’t intended to derail us from the path that we’re on right now.” Demonstators returned to police headquarters Thursday evening, for a candlelight vigil. St. Louis County police said their officers, along with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would take charge of security.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Household wealth hits a record high WASHINGTON — Fueled by higher stock and home values, Americans’ net worth reached a record high in the final three months of 2014. Household wealth rose 1.9 percent during the October-December quarter to nearly $83 trillion, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. Stock and mutual fund portfolios gained $742 billion, while the value of Americans’ homes rose $356 billion. The typical household didn’t benefit much, though. Most of the wealth remains concentrated among richer families. The wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. households own about 80 percent of stocks. Household wealth reflects the value of homes, stocks and other assets minus mortgages, credit cards and other debts.

New Jersey: Christie PAC Allies of Gov. Chris Christie have launched a super PAC that can raise unlimited money toward his likely bid for president. The America Leads super PAC was registered with the Federal Election Commission on Feb. 23, said its executive director, Phil Cox, who worked closely with Christie at the Republican Governors Association last year. “He’s provided effective, conservative leadership in a deep blue state, bringing people together to solve difficult problems and get results,” Cox said. “That’s the kind of leadership we need in America today, and we hope he decides to run.”

Maryland: Ebola patient An American health care worker who tested positive for the Ebola virus in Africa is expected to be admitted to a National Institutes of Health clinic in Bethesda for treatment, federal officials said Thursday. The volunteer, who had been working at an Ebola treatment unit in Sierra Leone, will be transported to the U.S. in isolation via a chartered aircraft and taken to the NIH Clinical Center Special Clinical Studies Unit, one of the few U.S. facilities that are specially equipped to treat such cases. The NIH withheld information about the patient due to privacy issues.

Three Dog Night keyboardist

WASHINGTON — NASA announced evidence Thursday that Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth’s surface. New Hubble observations of Ganymede’s magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean. Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa, another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water. While scientists have speculated about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede since the 1970s, until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn’t observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean. Scientists estimate that the ocean is 60 miles thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth’s oceans. But unlike

Jimmy Greenspoon, the keyboardist for rock band Three Dog Night, has died. He was 67. Greenspoon’s agent said he died Wednesday of cancer at his home in North Potomac. The keyboardist joined the rock band in 1968 and had been working with them until last October, when he took a medical leave of absence to pursue treatment for metastatic melanoma. The group is best known for their 1960s and 1970s hits “Joy to the World,” “Mama Told Me Not to Come” and “Black and White.”

There is evidence of a saltwater ocean under Ganymede’s icy surface.

our salty waters, Ganymede’s ocean is buried under 95 miles of ice. “This discovery marks a significant milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish,” said John Grunsfeld, assistant administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. “In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific

discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy crust of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.” The Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of these impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the interior of planets far off in the distance. Using these same principles,

Hubble senior project scientist Jennifer Wiseman said during a NASA news conference Thursday, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well. “It may require a telescope larger than the Hubble, it may require a new space telescope, but nevertheless it is a tool we have now,” Wiseman said. This news comes just a day after the announcement that one of Saturn’s moons might have hydrothermal activity in its subsurface ocean — a phenomenon that could allow it to support life. It seems that water may be relatively common in our solar system, making the search for life all the more exciting and mysterious.

Was 777’s air controller sleeping? Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s transport minister Thursday vowed to take stern action against an air traffic control supervisor if it is confirmed that he was asleep on the job when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared a year ago. An interim investigation report Sunday contained transcripts of conversations between air traffic controllers and the airline that revealed confusion after the Boeing 777 dropped off radar with 239 people aboard while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The last voice contact was

a “good night” message from the cockpit to the controllers at 1:19 a.m. March 8, 2014. The shutdown of the transponder one minute later removed the plane’s identification from commercial radar. In one conversation four hours later, a Kuala Lumpur air traffic controller told a Malaysia Airlines official that he would need to wake up his supervisor when pressed on the exact time of the last contact with the plane. The controller came on duty after 3 a.m. Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said his department viewed the matter seriously and was conducting an internal

investigation, including whether the supervisor was on or off duty at the time in question. “The work is on rotation. ... If he is on a working shift, this is serious. We will definitely take action if there is any misconduct,” he said. Liow said the ministry didn’t investigate the matter earlier as they were waiting for Sunday’s report by the independent safety investigation team. The ministry’s probe will be “very fast,” he added, without saying when it would be completed. After the last contact, the plane deviated from its flight path, turning sharply west

and then south, according to analyses of transmissions to a satellite. Despite an exhaustive search in the southern Indian Ocean where the plane was believed to have run out of fuel and crashed, no trace of wreckage has been found. In late January, Malaysia’s government formally declared the plane’s disappearance an accident and said all those on board were presumed dead. The report also showed that the battery of the underwater locator beacon for the plane’s data recorder had expired more than a year before the jet vanished, because of a computer data error and went unnoticed by maintenance crews.

AROUND THE WORLD Nigeria: Boko Haram pledge Islamic State militants have accepted a pledge of allegiance by the Boko Haram extremist group, a spokesman for the Islamic State movement said Thursday. Boko Haram has been weakened by a multinational force that dislodged it from a score of towns. ISIS urged foreign fighters from around the world to migrate and join Boko Haram. Boko Haram killed an estimated 10,000 people last year, and it is blamed for last April’s abduction of more than 275 schoolgirls.

Iran: Record executions Iran executed more people last year than it had in the previous 12 years, the U.N. special envoy on Iranian human rights said Thursday. He said Iran carried out at least 753 executions in 2014. Nearly half of the executions were for drug-related crimes, he said, and he questioned whether they would meet the accepted norm for death penalty cases of “most serious crimes.” He urged Iran to nullify death sentences against political prisoners and prisoners of conscience and ban juvenile executions.

India: Greenpeace muzzle Ruling that a democracy can’t muzzle dissent, a court Thursday struck down a travel ban against a Greenpeace activist who has criticized the government’s pursuit of coal-based energy. It was the second significant legal victory this year for Greenpeace in India after the Delhi High Court ruled in January that the government could not block the environmental group from receiving foreign funding for its domestic advocacy work.

Jobless applications fall Companies are confident enough to hold onto their staffs and hire more workers. By Christopher Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell sharply last week, a sign that strong hiring will likely continue. Weekly applications for unemployment aid dropped 36,000 to a seasonally adjusted 289,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The drop

nearly reversed a large increase from last month, which likely occurred because of cold weather and snowstorms. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell 3,750 to 302,250. The average has dropped nearly 9 percent in the past year. Applications are a proxy for layoffs. The decline indicates companies are confident enough to hold onto their staffs and hire more workers. Weekly applications had risen by 40,000 last month. Economists blamed most of that rise on harsh winter weather that closed schools and shut down construction sites, causing

temporary layoffs. The economy has faltered a bit in recent months, growing much more slowly than the 4.8 percent annual rate that it reached last spring and summer. Growth was just 2.2 percent in final three months of last year, and many economists expect similarly modest growth in the first three months of this year. Still, employers added an average of 288,000 jobs a month from December through February, a strong pace that has lowered the unemployment rate to 5.5 percent. That suggests employers see the slowdown as temporary. Nearly 3.3 million more

Americans are earning paychecks compared with 12 months ago. That should boost spending and economic growth for the rest of this year. The strong job gains have yet to translate into higher pay. Average hourly earnings rose 2 percent in February from a year earlier, down from a 2.2 percent annual gain in the previous month. Paychecks could pick up soon, however. More Americans are quitting their jobs, a report Tuesday showed, meaning that more are moving on to better, usually higher paying positions. That can force employers to pay more to attract and keep workers.

China rolls out Apple knockoffs Most of the world’s personal computers and mobile phones are assembled there.

An e-commerce website with a vendor selling the “Apple Smart Watch Bluetooth Bracelet” starting from $45 is displayed on a computer screen in Beijing on Thursday.

or features of popular foreign mobile phones or other products at a fraction of the price. At least eight vendors on Taobao advertised watches as “Apple Watch” or “Apple Watch lookalike.” Most said they were compatible with Apple’s iOS or Google Inc.’s rival Android operating system. One vendor jokingly used Chinese slang for a vulgar rich person, offering an “All-New Apple Tyrant Gold Mobile PhoneSupporting Watch” for $45. Eight vendors failed to respond to questions sent through their Taobao accounts. Asked whether it had taken action against any sellers, Alibaba said, “Alibaba Group is dedicated to the fight against

counterfeits. We work closely with our government partners, brands and industry associations to tackle this issue at its source. We also utilize technology like data mining and big data to scrub our platforms of counterfeits.” Alibaba faced controversy in January after a Chinese government agency accused the company of lax oversight and allowing vendors to sell counterfeit goods on Taobao. The two sides settled their dispute a few days later. The agency said its report had no legal force and Alibaba promised to tighten its oversight of vendors. Apple, based in Cupertino, California, says buyers in China and Hong Kong can pre-order

its watch beginning April 10, the same day it takes orders in the United States, Japan, Britain, France and Germany. Most previous Apple products were released in China weeks or months after other markets. That fueled a trade in iPhones that were smuggled in for sale to gadget fans who were willing to pay a premium. Apple lookalikes also are on sale in markets in the southern city of Shenzhen, “the mainland’s best place to shop for ... hi-tech knockoffs,” according to the Hong Kong newspaper The South China Morning Post. “Shanzhai Apple Watches in Shenzhen Less Than 1 Day After Launch,” said a headline on the Internet portal Sohu.com.

icycles, motorcycles and airplanes have one thing in common: There’s no reverse gear. People are different, though and while backing up can be awkward we can usually manage when it’s necessary. In April 2014, economist Thomas Piketty’s book, “Capital in The 21st Century” was published and quickly moved to the number one position on the best-seller list. The book was about income inequality and selfsustaining class distinctions that threaten democratic ideals and even capitalism itself. It was an immediate hit with liberal policy wonks (who may

Hiring, profits help to reduce budget deficit The U.S. budget deficit narrowed in February from a year earlier as a stronger economy helps improve the nation’s fiscal position, Treasury Department figures showed. Spending exceeded revenue by $192.3 billion last month, compared with a $193.5 billion deficit in the same month the prior year, the department said in a report released Thursday in Washington. The U.S. deficit has been shrinking in recent years as the economy strengthens, hiring picks up and company profits improve. The Congressional Budget Office earlier this week predicted the deficit as a share of gross domestic product this year will be the lowest since 2007.

Fake IRS calls scam taxpayers Fake IRS agents have targeted more than 366,000 people with harassing phone calls demanding payments and threatening jail in the largest scam of its kind in the history of the agency, a federal investigator said Thursday. More than 3,000 people have fallen for the ruse since 2013, a Treasury deputy inspector general said. They were conned out of a total of $15.5 million. One unidentified victim lost more than $500,000. The scam is so widespread that investigators believe there is more than one group of perpetrators, including some overseas. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by telephone.

Associated Press BEIJING — A month before Apple Inc.’s smartwatch hits the market, China’s thriving copycat manufacturers are selling lookalikes, some openly advertised as Apple copies. “Apple Smart Watch with Bluetooth Bracelet,” says one vendor on Alibaba Group’s popular Taobao e-commerce website. Photos on the vendor’s page appear to be the real Apple Watch. It says features on the Chinese version include text messaging and a music player. It starts at $45, or one-eighth the $349 price of the cheapest Apple Watch. Alibaba, which listed on the New York Stock Exchange last year after a record initial public offering, has faced criticism in the past for hosting the sale of counterfeit goods. It says it has been taking steps to reduce the problem. The flood of “me too” smartwatches reflects China’s mix of skilled electronics manufacturers and a growing consumer market for bargain-price style. Most of the world’s personal computers and mobile phones are assembled in China. But this country’s own companies are only starting to develop design skills and the ability to create breakthrough products. That has led to the rise of an industry known as “shanzhai,” or “mountain forts” — hundreds of small, anonymous manufacturers that quickly copy the design

Volkswagen workers to get bonus checks Volkswagen AG said its workers based in Germany are getting $6,250 each in profit-sharing bonuses that reflect the company’s strong 2014. The company’s personnel chief said Thursday the payouts reflect “a strong team performance in several markets despite the difficult conditions.” Volkswagen last year increased net profit by 20 percent to currently $11.5 billion. The automaker has issued a cautious outlook for this year, saying it faces “a persistently challenging market environment.”

Canada toughens oil train standards Canada is strengthening safety standards for rail cars that transport crude oil as the governing Conservatives move forward with measures after a 2013 derailment killed 47 people. The transport minister released new proposals this week that go beyond earlier announcements by requiring rail tankers to have thicker steel, full “head shields” and mandatory thermal “jacket” protection among other upgrades. Canada is working to harmonize new rules for transporting dangerous goods with the United States as regulators in both countries try to cope with increasing shipments of oil by rail. The standards create “a new class of tank car specifically designed to transport flammable liquids by rail,” the ministry said Wednesday. From Herald news services

Federal workers enjoy stability McCusker The Washington Post WASHINGTON — More federal workers feel financially stable than the rest of the U.S. workforce, according to a recent national survey. A Gallup poll released this month found that 44 percent of federal employees described their financial well-being as “thriving,” compared with 34 percent of all other workers. The trend held true when comparing workers with similar income and education levels, with federal employees consistently showing greater rates of financial stability.

Twenty-five percent of U.S. government personnel earning less than $2,000 per month said they are thriving financially, compared with 15 percent among all other workers. On the higher end of the spectrum, 60 percent of federal employees earning $10,000 or more per month said they are thriving, compared with 54 percent outside of government. In terms of education level, 35 percent of federal employees with a high school degree or less indicated that they are thriving, compared with 27 percent of all other workers. Similar differences occurred with higher

levels of education. The survey did not directly measure financial well-being in terms of salaries, benefits or overall compensation. Instead, it focused on “perceptions of standards of living,” such as cost of living, debt, affordability of basic necessities and family size. In a summary of the results, Gallup said “it is possible for a person to have a higher salary but experience lower financial well-being,” and that those who experience high levels of stability “feel as if they can spend time and energy addressing other facets of well-being in their day-to-day lives.”

Google targets malware-infected sites Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Get ready to see more red warning signs online as Google adds ammunition to its technological artillery for targeting devious schemes lurking on websites. The latest weapon is aimed at websites riddled with “unwanted software” — a term that Google uses to describe secretly installed programs that can change a browser’s settings without a user’s permission. Those revisions can unleash a siege of aggravating ads or redirect a browser’s users to search engines or other sites that they didn’t intend to visit. Google had already deployed the warning system to alert users of its Chrome browser that they were about to enter a site distributing unwanted software. The Mountain View, California, company just recently began to feed the security information into a broader “safe browsing” application

that also works in Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox browsers. All told, the safe browsing application protects about 1.1 billion browser users, according to a Thursday blog post that Google Inc. timed to coincide with the 26th anniversary of the date when Tim Berners-Lee is widely credited for inventing the World Wide Web. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer doesn’t tap into Google’s free safe browsing application. Instead, Explorer depends on a similar warning system, the SmartScreen Filter. Google’s alerts about unwanted software build upon the warnings that the safe browsing system has already been delivering for years about sites infected with malware, programs carrying viruses and other sinister coding, and phishing sites that try to dupe people into sharing passwords or credit card information.

detected by the safe browsing system, it displays a red warning sign advising a user to stay away. Google also is demoting the nettlesome sites in the rankings of its dominant Internet search engine so people are less likely to come across them in the first place. Google disclosed Thursday that the safe browsing application has been generating about 5 million warnings a day, a number likely to rise now that unwanted software is now part of the detection system. As it is, Google says it discovers more than 50,000 malware-infected sites and more than 90,000 phishing sites per month. The safe browsing application had gotten so effective at flagging malware and phishing that shysters are increasingly creating unwanted software in an attempt to hoodwink people, said Stephan Somogyi, Google’s product manager of safe browsing.

From Page A11

simplicity of Keynesian economics — total output equals consumption plus investment plus government expenditures, or Y= C+I+G, — has such enduring appeal despite its theoretical and practical issues. Much the same is true of Piketty’s economics. The simplicity of “r > g” had a magnetic appeal to many people that it made reading further into his book, or reading it at all, seem unnecessary. The result was that the tax-the-rich crowd picked up Piketty’s theory as if it were a loose football and ran with it toward the goal of higher taxes. This was not a very satisfying result for someone who wants to be considered a serious economic theorist — not an untypical reaction on the part of an author. Karl Marx, for example, after seeing his theories reformulated in France, famously wrote, “…I myself am not a Marxist.” For his part, Piketty has decided to clarify part of his analytical work by recognizing some of its limitations. He was and is, correct in seeing that there is a relationship between the return to capital and economic growth, but it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect. If we consider that the interest rate is one way to measure return on capital — analysts would call it a “proxy variable” — we can trace its historical relationship with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates. There is a force of attraction between interest rates and economic growth, an almost romantic tendency for them to be equal partners in

economic life. That said, this attraction can be offset or even overwhelmed, temporarily, by outside forces such as monetary policy, rapid technological change, or even administrative actions. We can see all of that in the data history. In a chart comparing the interest rate to the economic growth rate in the U.S, for example, we can immediately see the effect of the Civil War, World Wars I and II and the Great Depression of the 1930s. These events created major disruptions to the relationship between the two variables. Wars tend to push economic growth higher than interest rates and depressions have the opposite effect. Significantly, as the U.S. economy continued to expand and mature after 1950, the relationship between interest rates and growth rates grew even closer. The disturbances were less severe, revealing with more clarity the fundamental relationship. Piketty’s backtracking will probably be ignored by the “tax the rich” movement. But it is very helpful to economists, many of whom had found that his soaring conclusions exceeded the structural limits of his analysis. The wings have fallen off his theory, but his book did rekindle interest in economic theory and that could help us unravel the mysteries still surrounding economic growth and income distribution. James McCusker is a Bothell economist, educator and consultant. He also writes a column for the monthly Herald Business Journal.

IN OUR VIEW | K-12 education

Get NCLB waiver, funds back School districts across the state could regain control of about $40 million in federal funding if the state House and governor agree to a bill passed Wednesday by the Senate. When the Legislature balked at a requirement last year that school districts use student test scores in teacher evaluations, the state lost its waiver for part of the federal No Child Left Behind education law. More than 1,900 of the state’s 2,200 school districts lost control over that money. The money stayed within the districts but was removed from each district’s oversight and used for private tutoring and other services. Some Democrats and the state’s teachers union, the Washington Education Association, opposed last year’s bill, as well as this year’s, over

concerns that such a requirement doesn’t recognize the differences among school districts and other factors in student performance, puts too much emphasis on a testing regime that monopolizes class time, and doesn’t give teachers fair consideration in their performance. Senate Bill 5748 differs from last year’s legislation in that it would put off the requirement to use test scores in teacher evaluations for a year and would allow school districts to negotiate with local teachers unions on how much weight the scores would be given in evaluations. Neither compromise would prevent or delay restoration of the NCLB waiver. Those compromises, for example, found support with Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, who voted against

last year’s bill, and should also find more support among House Democrats this year. At the same time, the U.S. Senate is taking a bipartisan look at reforms to No Child Left Behind, itself, led by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee. Both said Monday they’ve made progress on an update, but no specifics or a timeline on possible reforms have been announced. That’s why Stand for Children, an education advocacy group, and others have pushed for the state to regain the waiver; there’s no clear indication of when federal reforms might pass Congress, and the districts need the federal money the waiver provides now. The group has circulated a petition in support of the legislation and has gathered 22,000 signatures.

The state should pass the legislation to restore the waiver and the federal funding it provides. But much more should follow, including the federal revamp of No Child Left Behind. State officials still need to bring some clarity to the state’s schedule of tests for students in third through eighth grades, in high school and for graduation requirements. And they also should consider teachers’ concerns about the amount of time the tests are taking from classroom instruction time. Test results can provide a window to help evaluate teachers, administrators and schools, but testing’s main purpose should remain as a way to track the progress of students and help teachers and parents see where more study is necessary.

What? More war? These Republicans should be held accountable. I hope no Democrat joins them and appreciate Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Rep. Rick Larsen for their level heads. I also hope my members of Congress will oppose two bills that could lead to a collapse of the talks: the Menendez-Kirk sanctions bill (S. 269) and the Corker-Graham bill (S. 615) mandating an “up or down” vote on any agreement. If Congress kills these negotiations or vetoes a final deal, Iran is likely to unfreeze its nuclear program, which means either Iran gets a nuclear bomb or we have to fight another war in the Middle East. Congress needs to let diplomacy work!

the stores freshly refilled. Recycling means the bottle is crushed and completely reformed (using way more energy). By returning our empties it made the cost of the soft drinks much cheaper because we were paying only for the beverage inside and not the packaging. Some say, “Glass is dangerous, it can break and people get hurt!” I disagree, just think of how many people today drink their beer out of glass bottles and live to tell about it. Soft drink companies will tell you they stopped using glass because of “consumer preferences”... but they lied. We all complained of the cost increase when the glass bottles were replaced with plastic and cans. It did save the bottling companies money because the cans and plastic bottles were cheaper to manufacture and ship, but it didn’t benefit us like they said it would. The result has been more expensive beverages! We the consumers could control this and change it very easily ... But we would have to stop buying beverages in disposable plastic bottles! I stopped doing that two years ago and I am just fine.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT

Hodges truly needs bulldozing In regard to the issue of what to do with the Hodges building, I have a solution: Tear that eyesore down already! (Article, “Wrecking ball looms for old Everett building.”) It serves no purpose and is a condemned building anyway. Everyone knows we need a new courthouse, and we need a place to put it. It would perfect sense to bulldoze the Hodges building and the other surrounding buildings and put something useful there in its place. I understand people being nostalgic about that building because of its historical significance, but the time is now for it to go. Jeff Swanson Everett

■■HILLARY CLINTON

U.S. security was never at risk In response to Eugene Robinson’s question about Hillary Clinton, “Why does she act as if she has something to hide, even when she doesn’t?” Does he really need to ask that when he said there is still “Benghazi fever” among Republicans and now they’re pulling apart the Clinton Foundation to see if there’s anything there they can use against her? These attacks go all the way back to her proposal for health care during her husband’s first term. In response to Hillary’s explanation about her emails at a Tuesday news conference, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said, Hillary “should have apologized for putting our national security at risk for ‘convenience.’” He overlooked her statement that the email server had numerous safeguards and was protected by the Secret Service. Our national security wasn’t in any way at risk, but that didn’t stop him from making a wild accusation. Hillary has spoken out many times for the rights of women and girls but there are men in the Republican party who, because they believe their rights and privileges should be protected at all costs, are adamantly opposed to a woman having the power to implement a different agenda. Just as they have rigorously opposed Obama’s social values. It’s no wonder to me if Hillary acts in ways to protect her time, energy and personal privacy. Sonja Larson Mill Creek

■■CONGRESS

Letter writers likely treasonous The 47 Republican senators who recently sent a warning letter to Iranian leaders are making a laughing stock out of Congress and weakening our stance in the world. Threatening to undermine President Obama’s efforts to work with other countries and Iran using diplomacy regarding Iran’s nuclear program was not only bad politics but also very likely treason. The leader of the letter, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, has explicitly stated that the goal of congressional action is to make talks with Iran fail.

■■BEVERAGES

Stop buying soda in plastic bottles Years ago, Big Beverage companies started forcing consumers to buy drinks in disposable plastic bottles, instead of more eco-friendly reusable glass bottles that had been used for decades. By forcing people to buy disposable, single-use plastic bottles, these companies squander huge amounts of energy when the climate is already struggling from growing carbon emissions. And it will mean more waste when our oceans are already filled with trash! Remember when all soft drinks came in glass bottles? Look at an old soda bottle, it is made of a much thicker glass than the plastic versions. This is because they were made to be returned to the bottling company, sterilized, and sent back out to

What Watergate taught Clinton: hit the delete key

he burned the tapes. Had Richard Nixon burned his tapes, he would have survived Watergate. Sure, there would have been a major firestorm, but no smoking gun. Hillary Rodham was a young staffer on the House Judiciary Committee investigating Nixon. She saw. She learned. Today you don’t burn tapes. You delete emails. Hillary Clinton deleted 30,000, dismissing their destruction with the brilliantly casual: “I didn’t see any reason to keep them.” After all, they were private and personal, she assured everyone. CHARLES How do KRAUTHAMMER we know that? She says so. Were, say, Clinton Foundation contributions considered personal? No one asked. We have to trust her. That’s not easy, considering what she said in her emergency news conference on Tuesday. Among the things she listed as private were “personal communications from my husband and me.” Except that, as The Wall Street Journal reported the very same day, Bill Clinton’s spokesman said the former president has sent exactly two emails in his life, one to John Glenn, the other to U.S. troops in the Adriatic. Mrs. Clinton’s other major declaration was that the server containing the emails — owned, controlled and housed by her — “will remain private.” Meaning: No one will get near them. This she learned not from Watergate but from Whitewater. Her husband acquiesced to the appointment of a Whitewater special prosecutor. Hillary objected strenuously. Her fear was that once someone is empowered to search, the searcher can roam freely. In the Clintons’ case, it led to impeachment because when the Lewinsky scandal broke, the special prosecutor added that to his portfolio. Hillary was determined never to permit another open-ended investigation. Which is why she decided even before being confirmed as secretary of state that only she would control her email. Her pretense for keeping just a single private email account was “convenience.” She doesn’t like to carry around two devices. But two weeks ago she said she now carries two phones and a total of four devices. Moreover, it takes about a minute to create two accounts on one device. Her answers are farcical. Everyone knows she kept the email private for purposes of concealment and, above all, control. For other State Department employees, their emails belong to the government. The records officers decide to return to you what’s personal. For Hillary Clinton, she decides. The point of regulations is to ensure government transparency. The point of owning the server is to ensure opacity. Because she holds the emails, all document requests by Congress, by subpoena, by Freedom of Information Act inquiries have ultimately to go through her lawyers, who will stonewall until the end of time — or Election Day 2016, whichever comes first. It’s a smart political calculation. Taking a few weeks of heat now is far less risky than being blown up by some future email discovery. Moreover, around April 1, the Clinton apologists will begin dismissing the whole story as “old news.” But even if nothing further is found, the damage is done. After all, what is Hillary running on? Her experience and record, say her supporters. What record? She’s had three major jobs. Secretary of state: Can you name a single achievement in four years? U.S. senator: Can you name a single achievement in eight years? First lady: her one achievement in eight years? Hillarycare, a shipwreck. In reality, Hillary Clinton is running on two things: gender and name. Gender is not to be underestimated. It will make her the Democratic nominee. The name is equally valuable. It evokes the warm memory of the golden 1990s. Now breaking through, however, is a stark reminder of the underside of that Clinton decade: the chicanery, the sleaze, the dodging, the parsing, the wordplay. It’s a dual legacy that Hillary Clinton cannot escape and that will be a permanent drag on her candidacy. You can feel it. It’s a recurrence of an old ailment. It was bound to set in, but not this soon. What you’re feeling now is Early Onset Clinton Fatigue. The CDC is recommending elaborate precautions. Forget it. The only known cure is Elizabeth Warren.

Pot smokers ‘more Wal-Mart than Whole Foods’ By Keith Humphreys Special to The Washington Post

STANFORD, Calif. — One of the biggest laughs in the 1984 movie “Romancing the Stone” occurs when Michael Douglas’ cynical, worldly character implies dismissively that a romance novel writer played by Kathleen Turner is too innocent to have ever smoked marijuana. Turner defends herself by asserting

“I went to college!” The joke reflected a generational reality: When the drug exploded onto the American scene in the 1970s, the first adopters were drawn heavily from the college-educated middle class. But in more recent years, the marijuana market has become more economically downscale. “Most of the marijuana market is more Wal-Mart than Whole Foods,” says

Carnegie Mellon University Professor Jonathan Caulkins, the lead author of “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know.” Caulkins’ analysis of data from the federal government’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that “college grads account for only about one-in-six days of use,” the common measurement for national marijuana use.

The remaining 5/6 of today’s marijuana market comprises, from largest to smallest share, high school graduates, people who attended some college (more than 90 percent of whom are no longer enrolled), high school dropouts and teenagers. All these population groups tend to have modest incomes, which Caulkins notes means that “they are likely to be price-sensitive

and drawn to less costly brands.” Marijuana use in the U.S. is thus like tobacco use: A behavior concentrated in lower social capital groups. Why then is the modal cultural image of pot that of hipster professionals clucking over arrays of $500/ ounce sinsemilla blends at upscale dispensaries in San Francisco or Boulder, rather than, say, that of a gas station attendant who

smokes low-cost weed several times a day? The answer might be that journalists, pundits, elected officials and policy analysts, like all human beings, have a tendency to overestimate the representativeness of their own experience. The collegeeducated chattering classes portray and discuss the world they know, which in fact is a small slice of the U.S. marijuana scene.

U.S. does heavy lifting against ISIS By Adam Schreck Associated Press

AL-UDEID AIR BASE, Qatar — American refueling planes rumble into the air from this desert air base around the clock to top up coalition aircraft bombing Islamic State militants, whether they’re Arab fighters flying out of regional bases or French warplanes catapulted off an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. The al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the regional nerve center for the air war against the militants who have taken over nearly a third of Iraq and Syria. That makes it the main hub for coordinating warplanes from the U.S. and 11 other nations in the coalition carrying out bombing raids. While the U.S. is doing the heavy lifting in the airstrikes, American officials say the allies’ contributions are vital. “This is dangerous stuff. This is not political theater,” said Lt. Col. David Haworth, chief of the current operations division for the Combined Air Operation Center.

ADAM SCHRECK / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Members of a U.S. Air Force munitions team assemble guided bombs to support the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing at the al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

“I don’t think what we are doing today would be even remotely possible without the coalition partners,” he told The Associated Press, making a rare media visit to the base. “To say that we want to or we are capable of going it alone I think would be a terrible mistake.” The low-rise Combined Air Operation

Center, packed with rows of computer terminals with big-screen monitors overhead, brings together officers from across the coalition to help share information and plan missions. Intelligence gathered by coalition members helps give commanders a deeper understanding of how the Islamic State group

operates on the ground, Haworth said. For example, at times its fighters mass together like a traditional army unit, while in other situations they behave more like insurgent guerrillas. All information will be key in preparations for an eventual offensive by Iraqi troops and Kurdish fighters

to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the biggest city under the extremists’ control. The coalition will no doubt be backing the assault, though officials here would not discuss plans for future operations. “If they (the militants) want to try and reinforce, whether it’s Mosul or some other location, we want to make sure we’re ready,” Haworth said. “If they want to flee, we’ll want to make sure that we have that contingency covered as well.” American planes in general hit more of what the military refers to as “dynamic” targets — ones that are not pre-planned — and a mobile insurgency like the Islamic State group makes for a lot of dynamic targets. The Air Force estimates that half of all strikes in the battle stem from close air support for Iraqi ground forces. Another 30 percent involve hitting Islamic State militants traveling between Iraq and Syria. Many coalition members, meanwhile, might drop multiple bombs on a single preset target, such as

a militant-held compound or mobile oil refinery. Since the bombing campaign began, American warplanes have handled 80 percent of the 2,780 airstrikes carried out as of Tuesday in Iraq and Syria, according to the most recent figures provided by the U.S. military. Primarily Western allies including Australia, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan and the Netherlands operate over Iraq, and have handled about three of every 10 airstrikes there. The share of American strikes is even greater in Syria. There, Arab coalition members have conducted just 93 airstrikes, compared with 1,137 by American aircraft. The countries operating alongside the U.S. over Syria include Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. By the military’s definition, an airstrike refers to a particular target, regardless of how many planes are involved in hitting it and how much ordnance is fired at it.

2016 Range Rover Evoque SUV: a British work of art ROAD TEST by Larry Lark Herald Special Sections Writer

hanks to a quirk in logistics – and in the spirit of full disclosure – I test drove the 2014 Range Rover Evoque SUV, but will be writing about the current 2016 version. The compact luxury Evoque’s trim levels have been realigned to match those of the Range Rover Sport so customers have the choice of five models: Pure, SE, HSE, HSE Dynamic, Autobiography; and a suite of 15 desirable option packs. My tester, with its Santorini Black coat of paint, was so nice I can’t imagine taking it off-road and inflicting any undue punishment on this British work of art. Powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, turbocharged direct-inject engine with variable valve timing, and coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission, the Evoque generates 240 horsepower and delivers a combined 24 miles per gallon in city/highway driving. Range Rover Evoque’s class-leading capability, which includes all-wheel drive with traction control, has been enhanced by the introduction of Land Rover’s innovative All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC), first seen on the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

The stress-reducing technology maintains a predetermined speed (selected using the cruise control function) in forward or reverse gears between 1.1mph and 19mph, allowing the driver to concentrate on negotiating tricky terrain. Since all I had to worry about was avoiding maniacal drivers on I-5, I came away more impressed with Evoque’s wide array of comfort and convenience features, which included an optional Pure Plus Package, Vision Assist Package and HDD Navigation that added another $6,850 to the sticker. Pure Plus added power leather seats with lumbar support, fixed panoramic roof with power blind, 19-inch alloy wheels, and power tailgate. The

Vision package adds adaptive Xenon headlights, blindspot monitoring and a surround camera system. The navigation system was intuitive and easy to operate. A 380-watt, 11-speaker with subwoofer audio system made it seem Ed Sheeran was inside the Evoque cabin and singing a personal concert just for me. If, by whim, you prefer iPod or streaming audio via Bluetooth, Range Rover has you covered. Other goodies include electronic cruise control with steering-wheel-mounted controls, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, solar attenuating front glass, and adjustable interior ambient lighting. Exterior highlights include bonnet vents, a new tailgate spoiler, eye-catching new roof fins with an integrated 3G antenna, for improved mobile phone signal and the alloy wheels with a sparkle finish. Several innovative new features enhance Evoque’s comprehensive array of safety features.

“Lane-Keeping Assist” uses the stereo digital camera to prevent unintended lane changes by monitoring road markings. “Autonomous Emergency Braking” (AEB) prevents or greatly reduces the severity of accidents in the event of the driver failing to take preventative action. Using an advanced forward-facing stereo digital camera, the system can identify potential hazards ahead. If a collision risk is detected, the driver is alerted by visual and audible prompts. If the driver fails to take evasive action, the system helps to avoid collisions below 32 mph, and reduces the severity of an impact at speeds below 50 mph. “Attention Assist Estimation” completes the trio of advanced new safety systems added for the 2016 model year. It monitors steering inputs to detect when a driver is at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Audible alarms and visual warnings signal when drowsiness is detected. Q

MINI Cooper:

New for 2015 S Hardtop By FRANK A. AUKOFER AutoWriters Associates

nfluenced by similar growth by parent company BMW, Britain’s MINI set out to expand its model lineup, including introducing its first modern four-door hatchback, the MINI Cooper Hardtop. BMW has established itself as perhaps the most comprehensive niche player in the business, with an array of sedan and crossover utility vehicles across the size, power, and price lineups. It drew the same map for MINI. In 2000 only the two-door, front-drive MINI Cooper was offered. Since then MINI has added a convertible; bigger twodoor Paceman, available with all-wheel drive; the now discontinued three-door Clubman; four-door crossover Countryman; two-seat Coupe; two-seat Roadster, and today’s 2015 four-door Hardtop. High-performance John Cooper Works versions are avail-

able across the lineup. MINI miscalculated demand for so many models, so the Paceman, Roadster, and Coupe reportedly will be dropped. At the same time, MINI has said it will re-introduce the Clubman with four doors instead of three; its rear cargo doors, which open sideways, will remain. Even with fewer models, Alec Issigonis, the designer of the original MINI in the late 1950s, likely would be amazed. His tiny original was designed as an austere and roomy economy car. With its BMW revival, it has been christened as a “premium small car.” Though it is a UK product, the MINI Cooper has been thoroughly infused with BMW personality, premium pricing, and cuttingedge technology. For example, the three- and four-cylinder engines now are all BMW designs. Tested for this review is the S version of the 2015 MINI Cooper Hardtop, which in generic

nomenclature is a four-door hatchback. It is powered by a 189-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 207 lb.-ft. of torque, plenty given its 2,895-pound weight. MINI claims a 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of 6.6 seconds. The entry-level base car delivers 134 hp and 162 lb.-ft. of torque from its 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine, which claims to reach 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and has a starting price of about $20,000. Buyers can choose a six-speed automatic transmission or, as on the test car, the more entertaining six-speed manual gearbox. The test car came with a city/ highway/combined rating of 24/34/27 mpg and a $34,350 as-tested price tag. Even though they are tiny and functional, MINI Coopers should be viewed more as sports cars. With their small size, tight steering, and stiff suspension systems, they deliver dart-like handling. Ride and handling were stand-

out impressions of the four-door Cooper Hardtop. The tradeoff, as with the two-door, is a stiff ride that punishes the bum and hips. From a size standpoint, there’s not a huge difference between the new four-door and its twodoor counterpart. At 13 feet 2 inches long, it is just 4 inches longer, weighs 110 pounds more, and has 12 cubic-feet of cargo space behind the rear seat compared to less than 9 cu.-ft. in the two-door. More important, the four-door has 96 cu.-ft. of interior volume, 6 more than the two-door. The extra space is divided between 84 cu.-ft. for passengers and the 12 cu.-ft. for cargo, but it delivers usable room in both areas. Though the back seat is almost useless in the two-door, the fourdoor actually can accommodate two modest-sized adults in back. Entry and exit are tight. Forget the impossible center rear seat. Like other recent MINI Cooper models, the new Hardtop delivers a quality, busy interior

that does away with the oldfashioned giant speedometer in the center of the dash. The circle now hosts other functions like the backup camera and navigation system, with the speedometer moved to its proper place on the steering column. A bunch of traditional English toggle switches still reside on the dash, but the power window controls have been thankfully moved to the armrests. Seat adjustments are manual. Assessing overall performance, the four-door MINI Cooper Hardtop gives up nothing to its two-door sibling. It changes directions with a flick of the steering wheel, stops authoritatively, and the linkage of the six-speed manual gearbox is only slightly balky. If you’re willing to spend the extra bucks to get sports car performance in your economy car, then this is a fine choice. Given its accommodations, it’s likely to be MINI’s best-seller.

nder the paint and beneath the body lies big news for Ford’s 2015 F-150 pickups: The re-engineered bones of the new trucks are the key to better performance, capability and fuel economy. Extensive measures were taken to make the new-design body and frame stronger and lighter. A first-in-segment, military-grade aluminum-alloy body and box, and a steel frame with more high-strength steel combine with lighter seats, leaf springs and control arms to reduce weight up to 700 pounds. That’s a weight reduction roughly equivalent to three full-size refrigerators. Improving the truck’s powerto-weight ratio is the key benefit of aluminum, said Pete Reyes, F-150 chief engineer. “It’s like an athlete losing weight.” The weight savings from making a pickup stronger and lighter can result in its ability to haul heavier loads. Aluminum alloys are stronger by weight than common steel, and are used in industries with the most demanding standards. They are utilized in military vehicles, aircraft, oil-drilling components and large truck-trailer frames. “It’s the same series of alloys as `military grade,’” said Colleen Hoffman, F-150 structure supervisor. Ford developed special alloy recipes within these series to meet the specific needs of

the F-150 pickup buyer. A single strong structure is formed using high-strength adhesives and advanced riveting to form a continuous bond for multiple components. Along with the weight savings, aluminum is rust-resistant and the cargo box is less likely to get dents and dings, Hoffman said. Bed panels are up-gauged and structural reinforcements are incorporated within the box wall for attaching accessories. Four reinforced plates, integrated near the box corners, are the foundation for Ford’s new BoxLink cargo management system. The BoxLink system includes lockable die-cast aluminum cleats, and is offered with a bed divider, storage bins, and loading ramps that cleverly mount out of the way when not in use. Addressing journalists’ questions about the level of difficulty and cost of collision repairs for an aluminum body, John Caris, manager of chassis engineering, says “Eighty percent of the things that happen can be repaired like steel, and major repairs are easier.” Key compo-

Lighter Ford F-150

All About Metal nents are engineered to be simpler to repair and replace, Caris said, so labor is minimized. Greater use of high-strength steel is responsible for the frame’s lighter weight and increased strength. Up to 70 pounds was saved by using 78 percent high-strength steel compared to 23 percent in the previous F-150. This strongestever F-150 frame features boxed construction, taller and wider main frame rails, an extra cross member — up to eight — and variable-thickness frame rails that add strength where it’s most needed. The performance gains of reduced weight include improved acceleration, handling, braking, and maneuverability. Complementing the lightweight design, and helping F-150s achieve

excellent power-to-weight performance, are smaller, powerful engines. All new among the four engine choices for 2015 is a 2.7-liter, six-cylinder EcoBoost engine. It’s a $795 option on XL and XLT models, and standard on the Lariat. The upper engine block is constructed of compacted graphite iron, and the lower block is aluminum to reduce weight and add strength. Auto Start-Stop is standard on the 2.7-liter EcoBoost. The smooth-transitioning start-stop feature shuts off the engine when the truck is stopped (except when towing or in fourwheel-drive mode) to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The small-displacement, turbocharged powerplant delivers 325 horsepower at 5,750 rpm

and 375 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. It moves the F-150 off the line and to highway speeds at a spirited clip. Teaming with EcoBoost engines to improve fuel efficiency are standard Active Grille Shutters that reduce aerodynamic drag. These shutters stay open during low-speed stop-and-go driving and automatically close at cruising speed. Ford reports a “properly equipped” F-150 with the 2.7-liter has a 2,250-pound max payload and 8,500-pound towing capacity. Estimated fuel economy for a two-wheel-drive F-150 with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost using regularunleaded gasoline is 19 miles per gallon city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Accompanying the 2.7-liter in the engine lineup are a 283-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6; 385-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8; and 365-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost. All are mated to a sixspeed automatic transmission (no manual transmission is available). Ford offers five 2015 F-150 models — XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. XL and XLT models are available in Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew configurations; Lariats are offered in SuperCab and SuperCrew versions, and King Ranch and Platinum models come only in SuperCrew form. Starting prices for 2x2 models are: XL, $25,420; XLT, $30,695; Lariat, $38,685; King Ranch, $48,495; and Platinum, $50,960.

FOUNDATION BANK,

FILED 15 FEB 12 PM 3:48 KING COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT CLERK SEATTLE, WA

Plaintiff, vs. JESSICA A. ADAMS, a single person; ADAMS PAWN, INC., a Washington Corporation; and ADAMS PAWN 2, INC., a Washington corporation, Defendants. THIS MATTER having come on before the Court on the Verified Complaint of Plaintiff Foundation Bank (â€œFoundationâ€? or â€œPlaintiffâ€?) and Foundationâ€™s Motion to Show Cause Why A General Receiver Should Not Be Appointed (the â€œMotionâ€?) for all of the assets of Defendants Adams Pawn, Inc. and Adams Pawn 2, Inc. (the â€œAdams Pawn entitiesâ€?) including the â€œcollateralâ€? described in the Commercial Security Agreement executed by the Adams Pawn entities and attached to the Verified Complaint as Exhibit B. The Court having considered the documents and arguments submitted in support of the Motion and any opposition to it; and good cause having been shown for appointment of a receiver under RCW Chapter 7.60, the Court GRANTS the Motion, makes the following findings, and enters the following Order: I. FINDINGS A. Receivership Property 1.1 The Adams Pawn entities operate a pawn shop at 6417 Evergreen Way, in Everett, Washington. The Adams Pawn entities own the property which is the subject of the Motion. The Receivership Property includes all of the assets of Defendants Adams Pawn, Inc. and Adams Pawn 2, Inc. (the â€œAdams Pawn entitiesâ€?) including the â€œcollateralâ€? described in the Commercial Security Agreement executed by the Adams Pawn entities and attached to the Verified Complaint as Exhibit B (the â€œReceivership Propertyâ€?). 1.2 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Order shall have the meanings given them in the Commercial Security Agreement. B. The Parties 1.3 The Plaintiff is Foundation Bank. Plaintiff initiated this action in part to appoint a General Receiver for the Receivership Property pursuant to RCW 7.60.025 and the Commercial Security Agreement granted by the Adams Pawn entities in the Receivership Property. 1.4 The defendants are Adams Pawn, Inc., a Washington corporation, and Adams Pawn 2, Inc., a Washington corporation, and Jessica A. Adams, an individual (together, the â€œDefendantsâ€?). Defendants consented to jurisdiction and venue in this Court. The Adams Pawn entities consented to appointment of a receiver in the event they breached their loan obligations to Foundation Bank. 1.5 Jurisdiction and venue are proper in this court. C. Grounds for Appointment of a Receiver 1.6 The Adams Pawn entities executed a Promissory Note in favor of Foundation evidencing original indebtedness of $750,000 dollars. 1.7 The Adams Pawn entities are in default for nonpayment of their indebtedness. 1.8 The Promissory Note is secured by a Commercial Security Agreement. The Commercial Security Agreement provides for the appointment of a receiver in the event of default. 1.9 The foregoing is detailed in Foundationâ€™s Verified Complaint. The appointment of a receiver is permitted and appropriate under the Commercial Security Agreement granted by the Adams Pawn entities. 1.10 The appointment of a receiver for the Receivership Property pursuant to RCW 7.60.025(1) (a) and (nn) is also warranted. Foundation has an interest in the Receivership Property, and the Receivership Property and its revenueproducing potential are in danger of being lost or materially injured or impaired. The appointment of a receiver is reasonably necessary to protect Plaintiffâ€™s interest in the Receivership Property and otherwise, and other available remedies are inadequate. The appointment of a receiver is also necessary to secure ample justice for the parties. D. The Receiver 1.11 Turnaround, Inc. is eligible and qualified to act as a receiver for the Receivership Property under RCW 7.60.035. It and its president, Miles R. Stover, have substantial experience as a court appointed trustee and receiver for a wide variety of commercial enterprises. II. ORDER Having reviewed the materials in connection with Plaintiffâ€™s Verified Complaint for Appointment of General Receiver and the Motion, as well as other relevant records and files in this action; the Court having found that a General Receiver should be appointed for the Receivership Property; now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: A. Appointment of Receiver 2.1 Pursuant to RCW 7.60.025, Turnaround, Inc. (the â€œReceiverâ€?), is appointed as the permanent, General Receiver with respect to the Receivership Property. 2.2 Unless and until otherwise ordered by the Court, the Receiver shall be a General Receiver. Immediately upon entry of this Order, the Receiver shall have the right, and by this Order is given the right, to take exclusive control over the Receivership Property to the full extent provided for in RCW 7.60.060 and including authority to liquidate the Receivership Property and wind up the affairs of the Adams Pawn entities. 2.3 The stay imposed by RCW 7.60.110 is in full force and effect until further order of this Court. 2.4 The Receiver shall file reports with the Court in accordance with RCW 7.60.100 (with the exception that such reports shall be filed quarterly), and shall serve copies of such reports on the Plaintiff and Defendants herein. The first such report shall be due by April 30, 2015, and shall cover the period from the date of this Order through March 31, 2015. All subsequent reports shall be due on the last day of the month following the close of each quarter. In addition to those requirements found in RCW 7.60.060 and 7.60.100, the Receiver shall also identify options with regard to the Receivership Property and include the Receiverâ€™s recommendation(s) (in the Receiverâ€™s quarterly reports). 2.5 The Receiver shall not pay any pre-receivership claims asserted against the Receivership Property unless and until the Receiver has determined that there will be funds available for distribution sufficient to pay such claims and has obtained authorization by the Court. After the Receiver has made such a determination, the Receiver will seek court approval of a claims protocol, to the extent not otherwise provided by statute. 2.6 Immediately following entry of this Order, the Receiver shall execute and file with the Court a bond in the amount of $10,000.00 with a surety authorized by the Washington Commissioner of Insurance to engage in the business of suretyship in the State of Washington, in favor of the Clerk of King County Superior Court, conditioned that Turnaround will faithfully discharge the duties of a receiver in this action, and obey the orders of the Court herein. The Receiver is authorized to pay any premium or other fee of the surety providing such bond from the Receivership Property, as an expense of the Receiver. 2.7 Defendants and each and every person or entity with any control over the Receivership Property are hereby ordered to cooperate fully with the Receiver in its efforts to gain possession and control of the Receivership Property. 2.8 The Receiver shall not be subject to the control of any of the parties, but shall be subject to the Courtâ€™s direction in the fulfillment of its duties. 2.9 The Receiver shall establish and maintain such accounting, bookkeeping, and record-keeping systems as it determines to be advisable in connection with its work. 2.10 The Receiver is authorized to review all existing insurance coverage with respect to the Receivership Property, and to procure and/or maintain such insurance as it deems to be in the best interest of the Receivership Property. 2.11 The Receiver may cause to be paid when due all current property taxes and lease payments due or which the Receiver, solely in its capacity as General Receiver, is or hereafter becomes obligated to pay. 2.12 The Receiver in the ordinary course of business and without further order of the Court, may contract for the purchase or acquisition of such goods, materials, services and supplies as the Receiver deems to be necessary or appropriate to operate the business of each of the Adams Pawn entities and to preserve, protect, and manage the Receivership Property. The Receiver is authorized to pay for goods, materials, services and supplies furnished by others in the ordinary course of the Receivership, when due. 2.13 Any utility company providing services to the Receivership Property, including but not limited to gas, electricity, water, sewer, trash collection, telephone, internet, communications or similar services, shall be prohibited from discontinuing service to the Receivership Property based upon unpaid bills incurred by Defendants or its owners, managers, or agents prior to the entry of this Order. Further, such utilities shall transfer any deposits held by the utility to the exclusive control of Receiver and are prohibited from demanding that Receiver deposit additional funds in advance to maintain or secure such services. The Receiver shall not be personally liable for any utility charges, whether accrued prior to or after its appointment. 2.14 The Receiver may issue a demand upon the U.S. Postal Service to grant exclusive possession and control of mail and instrumentalities thereof, including postal boxes, as may have been used by Defendants relating to the Receivership Property, and may direct that certain mail related to the Receivership Property and its business be redirected to Receiver. 2.15 The Receiver shall have the rights and duties conferred by, and the receivership shall be administered in accordance with, RCW 7.60.005-RCW 7.60.300. The Receiver shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws. B. Effect of the Receivership on Certain Parties 2.16 Immediately upon the entry of this Order, the Receiver shall have the right, and by this Order is given the right, to take and to keep possession, custody and control of the Receivership Property wherever located. Each and every entity with control over the Receivership Property is hereby ordered to cooperate fully with the Receiver in its efforts to gain possession and control of the Receivership Property. 2.17 The Receiver shall have the power to take all steps reasonably necessary to liquidate the Receivership Property and shall deposit said sums into a segregated account (â€œBank Accountâ€?) at a federally insured bank with branches in the State of Washington. The Receiver shall have the power to present for payment any checks, money orders, and other forms of payment made payable to either of the Adams Pawn entities, or such similar names, which constitute or are derived from the Receivership Property, to endorse same and collect the proceeds thereof, with such proceeds to be used and maintained as elsewhere provided herein. The Receiver shall have the sole and exclusive authority to disburse funds from the Bank Account. The Receiver shall have authority to take possession of bank and other deposit accounts of the Adams Pawn entities, and to open, transfer and change all bank and trade accounts relating to the Receivership Property and the Adams Pawn entities, so that all such accounts are in the name of the Receiver. 2.18 Immediately upon entry of this Order, Defendants and the owners, directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, tenants, lessees, accountants, and attorneys of the Adams Pawn entities shall cooperate with the Receiver in connection with the Receiverâ€™s assumption and performance of its duties, so as to enable the Receiver to immediately assume and perform the Receiverâ€™s duties without jeopardy to the Receivership Property. Defendants and the owners, directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, tenants, lessees, accountants, and attorneys of the Adams Pawn entities shall provide to the Receiver, promptly upon request, all documents and records of the Adams Pawn entities (including but not limited to financial records) and all information, and with access to all Receivership Property, which the Receiver at any time may request from any of them.

The Receiver shall be under no obligation to complete or file tax returns or other regulatory or governmental reports on behalf of the Defendants. Such responsibility is to remain with Defendants; but the Receiver shall furnish Defendants with such access to books and records within the Receiverâ€™s custody or control as reasonably may be requested by Defendants and necessary in order for Defendants to complete and file such returns, or other regulatory or governmental filings or reports. 2.21 Immediately upon entry of this Order, Defendants and the owners, directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, tenants, lessees, accountants, and attorneys of the Adams Pawn entities, and every other person or entity in a position to exercise control over the Receivership Property, are hereby enjoined from destroying any books and records related to the Adams Pawn entities, the Receivership Property and/or to business operations with respect to the Adams Pawn entities and the Receivership Property. 2.22 Immediately upon entry of this Order, Defendants and the owners, directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, tenants, lessees, accountants, and attorneys of the Adams Pawn entities shall cooperate with the Receiver in connection with the Receiverâ€™s assumption and performance of its duties, so as to enable the Receiver to assume and perform its duties without jeopardy to the Receivership Property.

C. Compensation of Receiver 2.23 The Receiver shall be compensated as follows: 2.23.1 The Receiver shall be entitled to be paid for performing its duties as receiver of the Receivership Property at the rate of $275 per hour for Miles R.

If no party in interest objects to such payments, or any portion thereof, within ten (10) calendar days following the date of notice, the requested compensation and reimbursement of expenses shall be deemed approved as being fully and finally earned without further order or leave of the Court. If any party wishes to object to such payments, or any portion thereof, such party shall notify the Receiver, the Receiverâ€™s counsel, and the above-referenced parties of the nature of the objection within the objection period set forth above. If the Receiver or affected professionals cannot consensually resolve the dispute or if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the date of such objection, the objecting party or the Receiver may file a motion with the Court to resolve the objection. 2.25 After the right to payment is established pursuant to paragraph 2.24 above, the Receiver may make the authorized payments from the proceeds of the sale of Receivership Property by the Receiver if available, or the Plaintiff shall make the authorized payments. All payments made by Plaintiff to the Receiver in connection with the Receivership Property shall be repaid by the Receiver from monies generated by the sale of the Receivership Property to the extent that such sale of the Receivership Property generates sufficient funds to do so. Such obligation for repayment shall be, and is hereby secured by a first and paramount lien against all monies generated by a sale of the Receivership Property. 2.26 In the event: (1) either (i) the receivership estate is without sufficient funds to defray on a current basis the reasonable fees and costs of the Receiver and its professionals, or any of the projected future fees or costs of the receivership, or (ii) the net value of the remaining Receivership Property is insufficient to meet the current or projected fees and costs of the receivership, and (2) the Bank refuses to fund such amounts pursuant to paragraph 2.23.3 above, Receiver shall be permitted to resign as Receiver, and Law Firm (defined in paragraph 2.28 below) as its counsel on thirty (30) days notice. D. General Provisions 2.27 Plaintiff shall have the right, and is hereby given the right, to request modification of this Order by the Court, upon notice to the other parties sufficient to allow those parties to object and to be heard by the Court. 2.28 The Receiver is authorized to employ as its attorneys the law firm of Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP (the â€œLaw Firmâ€?) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the engagement letter attached hereto as Exhibit A.

CITY OF EDMONDS NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC HEARING PROJECT DESCRIPTION: E d m o n d s S c h o o l D i s t r i c t , i n cooperation with Verdant Healthcare and the City of Edmonds, is proposing a phased-project to upgrade the existing sports fields at the former Woodway High School. This phase involves installing two new illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch fencing, backstops and dugouts. The School District requests a variance from the maximum allowed height for structures in the Open Space zone for light poles associated with the field upgrade project. These light poles were originally to be reviewed by the Hearing Examiner through a conditional use permit (PLN20150008) but that permit was withdrawn when staff realized the height of the poles in question were taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. The proposed poles will range from 70’ to 90’ in height. PROJECT LOCATION: 23200 100th Avenue West (Tax ID #: 27033600202200) NAME OF APPLICANT: Edmonds School District (rep. D.A. Hogan & Assoc.) REQUESTED APPROVAL: PLN20150013 (Variance for light pole height in OS zone) RELATED PERMITS: PLN20140065 (Design Review), PLN20140066 (Variance - fence height in RS-8 zone), PLN20140067 (Conditional Use Permit - fence height in OS zone), PLN20150009 (Variance - light pole height RS-8 zone) DATE OF NOTICE: March 13, 2015 COMMENTS ON PROPOSAL DUE: March 26, 2015 PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION: A public hearing will be held by the Hearing Examiner on March 26, 2015 at 3 p.m. in the City of Edmonds Council Chambers, 250 - 5th Avenue Nor th, Edmonds, WA 98020. Any person has the right to comment on this application during public comment period, receive notice and participate in any hearings, and request a copy of the decision on the application. The City may accept public comments at any time prior to the closing of the record of an open record predecision hearing, if any, or, if no open record predecision hearing is provided, prior to the decision on the project permit. Only parties of record as defined in ECDC 20.07.003 have standing to initiate an administrative appeal. Information on this project can be viewed or obtained at the City of Edmonds Development Services Department, 121 5th Ave North, Edmonds, WA 98020 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M.

Description of Proposal: Widening of 30th Street on both the east and west sides of the intersection with SR-9. Improvements to the western section will extend approximately 700 feet from the SR-9 boundary, widening the existing roadway to three lanes with the outside north lane being wide enough to accommodate bicyclists. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk are proposed along the south side of the travel lanes, extending to 95th Dr SE. Curb and gutter are proposed on the north, extending to 96th Dr SE. To accommodate the wider street section, existing roadside ditches will be eliminated; a closed drainage system is proposed, which will connect to existing closed systems directed east of SR-9. Flows on both sides of SR-9 are currently directed to a wetland southeast of the intersection. The eastern section will extend approximately 400 feet from the intersection with SR-9, and will expand northward to four lanes, to provide a left, through and right turn lane in the westbound direction. Curb and gutter are proposed along the north side. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk are currently along the southern frontage. Existing pavement on 30th Street in the project area will be overlaid. Location of Proposal: 30th Street at the intersection of State Route 9 in Snohomish County. Threshold Determination: The lead agency for this proposal has determined that, subject to the mitigation condition below, the proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City of Snohomish. This information is available for review at the Snohomish City Hall, 116 Union Avenue, Snohomish, Washington 98290 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Conditions to mitigate potential adverse impact: 1) Prior to construction activities, signs shall be installed and notice provided to adjacent property owners, residents, and businesses.

CITY OF EDMONDS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROJECT DESCRIPTION: E d m o n d s S c h o o l D i s t r i c t , i n cooperation with Verdant Healthcare and the City of Edmonds, is proposing a phased-project to upgrade the existing sports fields at the former Woodway High School. This phase involves installing two new illuminated synthetic turf multiuse fields along with associated catch fencing, backstops and dugouts. The project site is split-zoned between Open Space (OS) and SingleFamily Residential (RS-8). This consolidated project first required a design review recommendation by the Architectural Design Board. The ADB recommended approval of the design of the project, with conditions, on March 4, 2015. It should be noted that the original conditional use permit for light pole height in the OS zone (PLN20150008) was then withdrawn by the School District when staff realized the height of the proposed poles in question was taller than what the code allowed through a conditional use permit. The School District subsequently applied for a variance for light pole height in the OS zone (PLN20150013). The design of the project and lights has not changed from what was recommended for approval by the Architectural Design Board, only the type of permit that the Hearing Examiner reviews. The final decision on the project’s design as well as the conditional use permit and variances for the height of the back stops, fencing and light poles are made by the Hearing Examiner.

EDH617311 Snohomish County PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES M/S #604 DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE Proponent: Snohomish County Department of Planning & Development Services County Administration Building 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, M/S 604 Everett, WA 98201 Description of Proposal: Proposed ordinance to amend the Snohomish County Code titled: R E L AT I N G T O G R O W T H M A N A G E M E N T ; A D O P T I N G DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO PROTECT PUBLIC USE A I R P O RT S F RO M N E A R B Y I N C O M PAT I B L E U S E S A N D DEVELOPMENTS; AMENDING CHAPTERS 30.22, 30.23, 30.28A, 30.34A, 30.41A, 30.42B, 30.91A, 30.91F, 30.91R AND 30.91T OF THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY CODE (SCC); ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 30.32E SCC; AND REPEALING CHAPTER 30.31C SCC AND CORRESPONDING REFERENCES IN CHAPTERS 30.91A SCC, 30.91S SCC AND 30.91T SCC. This is a non-project proposal to amend Snohomish County Code (SCC) Title 30 to establish standards and a process for reviewing applications for development activities and notifying property owners in the areas around the county’s six public use airports. The proposed amendments would add a new chapter titled SCC 30.32E Airport Compatibility that would: 1) Identify an area around each airport that would likely be impacted by airport operations and apply disclosure notice requirements for properties within that area. 2) Identify a smaller area around each air por t where regulations would be applied to discourage development that is incompatible with airport operations. 3) Incorporate proof of airspace analysis, if required pursuant to federal height hazard regulations, into the review process for development approvals and building permits around airports. 4) Identify specific types of uses and development activities that have the most potential to be incompatible with airport operations and require review by the Snohomish County Hearing Examiner. Establish special review criteria to be applied to address potential risks associated with those uses and development activities and to help them to be compatible with airport operations. The remaining proposed amendments are necessar y for consistency and compatibility with the proposed chapter 30.32E SCC. Lead Agency: Snohomish County Department of Planning & Development Services Threshold Determination: The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) IS NOT required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review by Snohomish County of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with this agency. This information is available for public review upon request. This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2); the lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the date below. Comments must be submitted by March 25, 2015, to the responsible official at the address listed below. Appeals: This DNS together with the subsequent legislative action by the County Council to amend the County Code may be appealed to the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board. THIS DNS MAY BE APPEALED ONLY WHEN SUCH APPEAL IS COMBINED WITH THE APPEAL OF THE UNDERLYING ACTION PURSUANT TO SCC 30.73.100. THE APPEAL MUST BE FILED WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE PUBLISHED NOTICE OF THE NOTICE OF ACTION ISSUED SUBSEQUENT TO THE FINAL DECISION BY THE COUNTY. The Notice of Action describing the final decision by the County to pursue or not pursue the proposed action will be published in the County’s paper of record.

IX Anyone having any objections to this sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objection if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the sale pursuant to RCW 61.24.130.

For tenant-occupied property, the purchaser shall provide a tenant with written notice in accordance with RCW 61.24.060. If the Trustee’s Sale is set aside for any reason, the submitted bid will be forthwith returned without interest and the bidder will have no right to purchase the property. Recovery of the bid amount without interest constitutes the limit of the bidder’s recourse against the Trustee and/or the Beneficiary.

Newly acquired Graham eager to ‘fit in’ with Hawks After initial shock of trade, tight end excited to join ‘best team in football’ By John Boyle Herald Writer

SEATTLE — New Seattle Seahawk Jimmy Graham was as

surprised as anybody when he received a phone call from New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton informing him he had been traded.

Graham then quickly started going through a mental checklist of NFL teams that had significant amounts of salary-cap space and thought he might be headed somewhere like Oakland or JackJimmy Graham sonville. So when

Payton finished telling the All-Pro tight end about the trade, Graham was pretty excited to learn his destination. “I was going through the list of everyone who had a bunch of cap space, thinking either Jacksonville or Oakland or somewhere, but when he told me Seattle, it definitely put a grin on my face,” Graham said on a conference

call. “I’ve had some battles, clearly, against their defense the last couple of years. ... So for me it was a moment of shock, but once that shock cleared, I realized that I was going to the best team in football.” Graham got the news while on a beach in Florida, having flown See GRAHAM, Page C6

Tips shift focus after crucial loss to Portland Everett turns its attention away from division title to finishing season strong. By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

well and we have an incredible fan base. If I played every game here or zero games here, this is where I wanted to be.” One could easily imagine falling in love with a baseball program that routinely draws 10,000 fans to home games at Dudy Noble Field, plays in a conference that currently has six teams ranked in Baseball America’s Top 25 and is supported by a fan base that treats players from the Pacific Northwest as one of its own. “My visit to Mississippi State was my first time in the Southeast, and it was 100 percent culture shock,” the 5-foot-11, 175-pound Heck said. “I didn’t know a single person, and it really is true that people talk different, dress different and act different down here. But my teammates and our fans took

EVERETT — On the day after, the Everett Silvertips were focused less on the finish line and more on the track immediately in front of them. In the aftermath of Wednesday’s disappointing loss to Portland in a crucial U. S. Division showdown, the Tips were trying to focus on the here and now rather than the goal of attaining a division title. “We’re not too worried about (the division title) at the moment,” Everett captain Kohl Bauml said following Thursday’s practice at Xfinity Arena. “We have bigger things to worry about. We have to focus on playing the game the right way and being ready for these big games. Yeah, (Wednesday) night was a big game, but like our coaches said we’re going to be playing in bigger games come the end of March. It’s a learning experience for our group.” The U.S. Division title has been a goal for Everett since the beginning of the season. The Tips haven’t raised a division banner since 2007, and this year’s team was determined to end the drought. Everett found itself in position to end that dry spell for most of the season, sitting at first place in the standings. However, Wednesday’s result, in which the Winterhawks blew past Everett 6-1, changed the dynamic. Portland’s victory means the title is no longer solely in Everett’s hands. The Tips still lead the Winterhawks by two points in the standings. However, Portland has two games in hand, meaning that if Portland wins out it will claim the crown regardless of how the Tips finish the season.

n the Mississippi State baseball locker room, each Bulldog player is given 60 characters under his locker’s nameplate to say whatever he wants about himself. At the locker of senior shortstop Seth Heck, a Kamiak High School alumnus and Edmonds native, it simply reads, “Keep proving them wrong.” Heck has lived that mantra throughout his baseball career, succeeding at every stop despite not having the prototypical size or loud tools associated with a top-flight shortstop. He has found a home in Starkville, Miss., however, batting leadoff for a Mississippi State team that has College World Series aspirations after falling in the regional round last season.

Sounders’ keeper Frei makes only save count Hard work results in ‘world-class’ save in Seattle’s 3-0 win over New England on Sunday By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Those who simply scanned the box scores might assume the Seattle Sounders’ 3-0 win over the New England Revolution on Sunday was dominating. However, there was a splitsecond in the 39th minute when New England’s Kelyn Rowe struck a ball that seemed about to bring the visitors equal. But just before the ball could sizzle into the lower-left corner of the net, Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei got his right hand to it, just enough to knock it wide. After the game, Sounders coach Sigi Schmid called it a world-class save. On Thursday, Frei admitted “it was probably one of my better ones.” The play began just outside the top of the Seattle penalty area, when an attempted clearance by new center back Brad Evans went directly to Rowe. The Federal Way native took three touches toward goal before unleashing a dipping shot from about 30 yards. “The breakdown and the way we turned over that ball and then scrambled a little bit, and then I think the way he hit it too, it knuckled a little bit as well,” Frei said. “I just tried to

Then there’s the strength of the teams’ schedules to consider. Six of Portland’s final seven games come against teams in the bottom half of the Western Conference, while four of Everett’s last five games are against top-half Western Conference foes. Add in Portland’s big-game experience — the Winterhawks have won three of the past four division titles and played in the last four WHL championship series — and the odds seem high the Winterhawks will eventually pass the Tips for first. “We’ve been determined to try and put ourselves in position to win a division title, so that remains very important to us,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine said following Wednesday’s game. “But we sometimes this year have gotten too caught up in that. You still need to take the game and turn it into a shift-by-shift focus. I’m glad our guys are very determined this year to try and win a division title for the first time (since 2007), I’m glad that was the goal. “But division title or no division title, we need to play the game with the focus not on the division title but on playing the game the right way, the way we

shuffle over, and I think I got the bare minimum I needed to make that save on that ball.” Frei went on to say that what seemed to be a split-second of excellence actually was the result of long hours of training. “It’s really nice to sometimes see all the things you work on — we work on all the time in practice with (goalkeeper coach Tom Dutra) on the technique — and all those things come together,” he said. “And when you see how quickly everything has to happen, it really needs to be second-nature almost for all those things to click — footwork, angles — all those things and technique-wise. It’s more rewarding when you get to watch it in full time and see how you actually got there. I guess that means we’re doing something right.” The save ended up being the only one Frei made — or had to make — all night. However, Schmid stressed that that only raises the degree of difficulty. “It’s so much harder as a goalkeeper to play for a good team,” he said. “When you play for a team that’s not so good, if you make eight saves and you take two goals, you look like a superstar. But when you’re playing for a good team and you maybe face only three shots

The Sounders returned to training Thursday at CenturyLink Field. They will return to Starfire Sports Complex on Friday, concluding work for their home match against the San Jose Earthquakes at 7 p.m. Saturday. ...

Schmid also All-Star midfielder Osvaldo Alonso (groin) could join his teammates for parts of training next week.

know we need to play, the way each player knows he needs to play, the way we’ve trained for six months to play. We need to have that focus, and we lost a little bit of that (Wednesday) and we have to get back to that.” Everett was convincingly outplayed by Portland for 56-plus minutes of Wednesday’s game. The Tips opened the scoring 3:18 into the game, but the Winterhawks took control from that moment. Star forwards Oliver Bjorkstrand (two goals) and Nicolas Petan (one goal and two assists) were too much for Everett to handle. “It wasn’t our night, plain and simple,” Bauml said. “For whatever reason, they beat us. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot on a couple goals and their big guns came to play. They put the puck in the net when they had their chances.” The Tips don’t have any time to dwell upon Wednesday’s loss as the task doesn’t get much easier this weekend. Everett faces I-5 rival Seattle in a homeand-home set, with Friday’s game in Kent and Saturday’s in Everett. The Everett-Seattle series has built a reputation for close hard-fought games. However, the last time Everett traveled to Kent on Feb. 21 the Tips were throttled 7-0. Therefore, Everett needs a bounce-back performance, not just from Wednesday’s loss, but also from its last game against

the T-birds. “It’s going to be a big test for us,” defenseman Noah Juulsen said. “Two huge games this weekend we need in order to stay alive, so it’s going to be huge for us. We have to be on our A game here and do what we can to win. “We need a bounce back after (Wednesday),” Juulsen added. “It was a big loss, so we need big wins this weekend to keep us going.” Should Everett get passed by Portland and end up finishing second in the division, Seattle would almost certainly be the Tips’ first-round playoff opponent. That would be the second straight year Everett and Seattle meet in the first round. “Every game against a division rival is a dogfight,” Bauml said about the importance of this weekend’s games. “We’re getting geared up for those guys. It’s potential playoff matchup, so we need to go in there and get two points. “When you have an off game you want to come back and have one of your better games,” Bauml added. “We’ve been pretty good at responding to off nights, not trying to have too many in a row. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow.” Check out Nick Patterson’s Silvertips blog at http://www. heraldnet.com/silvertipsblog, and follow him on Twitter at @NickHPatterson.

that are dangerous, you’ve got to come up with three saves.” Frei’s professional background makes him distinctly qualified to weigh in on that. He spent his first five MLS seasons at Toronto FC, where he went a combined 20-34-25. Then he came to Seattle in 2014 and doubled his win total in a single season, going 20-10-4. “I think it’s easier to play yourself into the game when you’re facing a lot of shots,” he said. “You know you’re going to get your fair share (with a weaker team). You can build your confidence with a couple of easy saves here and there and then you’re flying. With a good team it can be that you’re not making a save until the 92nd minute, but you’ve got to make sure that once that ball comes your way that you’re ready. The focus mentally has to be there.”

Added time

BARCELONA, Spain — Spain’s fall from the top of the soccer rankings took an even more humbling turn Thursday when the team dropped out of the top 10. The Spanish team spent almost six full years at No. 1, winning the 2010 World Cup and the 2008 and 2012 European Championships. But the troubles in the aging team became apparent in the first game of last year’s World Cup in Brazil, when the Netherlands routed the top-ranked defending champions 5-1. After early elimination, Spain later lost friendlies to France and Germany. And in October, the team’s eight-year unbeaten run in qualifying matches ended in a surprising 2-1 loss at Slovakia. On Thursday, FIFA’s latest rankings dropped Spain to 11th place, the first time the team has been outside the top 10 since 2007. “We have to return to being the team we were before,” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said Wednesday, a day before the rankings were released. Spain, which fell one spot from 10th, has not played a match since losing to Germany 1-0 in November. That result handed Spain its first loss on home soil in 35 matches, dating back to 2006. This week’s drop, however, has more to do with how good the team was four years ago. The four-year cycle of results used by FIFA means that wins from 2011 are no longer counted. At the top of the rankings, world champion Germany remained in first place, ahead of Argentina, Colombia, Belgium and the Netherlands. Italy climbed up to replace Spain in 10th.

Zimbabwe tossed from qualifying ZURICH — Zimbabwe was thrown out of 2018 World Cup qualifying for failing to pay its national team coach. FIFA’s disciplinary committee said it took the action “as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt” by Zimbabwe’s soccer federation to coach Jose Claudinei Georgini. The decision was announced just as the first match in the global World Cup qualifying program was kicking off in Asia. East Timor beat Mongolia 4-1. Zimbabwe’s removal spoils FIFA’s recent claim of a first qualifying campaign where all its member federations would play. Zimbabwe was initially ordered by FIFA to pay the Brazilian coach in August 2012. Disciplinary proceedings were later opened against the Zimbabwe Football Association on the request of Claudinei, FIFA said. In April 2013, ZIFA was given 60 days to pay half the amount it owed Claudinei, and 120 days to pay the full amount. Zimbabwe was given a final grace period to settle the debt before being banned, FIFA said Thursday in a statement.

MESA, Ariz. — Nelson Cruz logged his first outfield time of the spring Thursday when he started in right field for the Seattle Mariners against the Oakland Athletics in Mesa. His previous four spring games came as the designated hitter. “I’m confident that he can play the outfield,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “but he needs to be out there. “I’m trying to be as smart as I can be with this. Give him some time out there to keep him sharp but, at the same time, keep him healthy. He’ll be out there a few more times for Nelson Cruz sure.” Cruz played primarily left field last season in Baltimore when not serving as the DH, but any time he gets in the Mariners’ outfield is likely to be in right. “I think he’s probably more comfortable in right field,” McClendon said.

Simulated games Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma threw 60 pitches in four innings Thursday morning in a simulated game against a collection of minorleague players on one of the Mariners’ practice fields. “I felt good overall today,” he said, “and had a better feel of my command, being able to locate where I wanted to. I was able to work from my stretch with runners on and that was good to get that feel back. “I felt like my arm speed and arm action were better than my first outing, so I am satisfied with where I am at being the second game in camp.” McClendon opted against having Iwakuma pitch against the A’s because the two teams play April 10-12 in Oakland. The Mariners are taking the same approach Sunday with Felix Hernandez, who will pitch in a simulated game rather than face the Dodgers. The Mariners play April 13-15 in Los Angeles.

Indians sign pitcher Kluber to 1-year deal Associated Press GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Corey Kluber’s big season hasn’t been followed by a big contract. Not yet. The AL Cy Young Award winner agreed to a one-year contract with the Cleveland Indians, who may still sign the steady righthander to a long-term deal. Kluber gets paid at a salary of $601,000 while in the major leagues and $308,400 while in the minors, up from $514,000 and $277,300 last year. Kluber was the last Cleveland player on the 40-man roster to agree to terms. Kluber vaulted from the middle of Cleveland’s rotation to become the league’s top pitcher last season, going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA and 269 strikeouts. The Indians have expressed interest in signing Kluber, who will turn 29 on April 10, to a longer deal.

Collins made his spring training debut against Texas on March 4 and left after two outs. He topped AL relievers with 93 strikeouts in 2012.

Ferrell a Mariner? Just for a half an inning as comedian plays in 5 games for 10 teams in effort to bolster cancer awareness By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

MESA, Ariz. — The Will Ferrell Tour started Thursday morning, at HoHoKam Stadium, when he tricked himself out in an Oakland A’s uniform for batting practice amid of sea of cameras and accompanying hubbub. No interviews. “I can’t talk,” Ferrell declared. “I’m in beast mode.” We know what that means: Tune in to Turkish TV in a few weeks. Ferrell opened the game as the A’s shortstop against the Seattle Mariners to loud cheers from the sizable crowd. He wasn’t required to handle a defensive chance before switching uniforms in the second inning. “I feel like if I’d have hit him one in the hole,” M’s leadoff hitter Austin Jackson said, “he’d have gone over there and made the Jeter throw on me. And I’d have been on Top 10 plays. It might just happen.” In the movies, maybe. The switch from the A’s to the Mariners didn’t occur quietly. Or quickly. Ferrell walked along the Oakland dugout, shaking hands

I can’t talk. I’m in beast mode. — Will Ferrell Comedian after declining interviews before a spring training game on Thursday.

with each player, before trudging to the Mariners’ side. The “trade” completed, Ferrell replaced Willie Bloomquist at second base in the bottom of the inning. “It’s not every day,” Bloomquist noted, “that Will Ferrell takes over for me during a game.” Ferrell slipped up on his first duty as a second baseman when he failed to position himself to take the throw from catcher Mike Zunino after right-hander Jordan Pries completed his warm-up pitches. No problem. Shortstop Ketel Marte trotted over to take Zunino’s throw. Ferrell didn’t see a defensive chance while playing for the Mariners, either. Pries registered two strikeouts before first baseman Jesus Montero ended the inning by making an acrobatic pick on an offline Marte

throw. “I heard him one time,” Mariners starter Jordan Pries said. “I threw a cutter, and he said, ‘I like that (bleep).’ I kind of gave him a look (and thought), ‘All right, put that in the belt.’” Next came Ferrell’s scripted departure — without getting an at-bat for either club. He jogged from the field, past both dugouts with production entourage in tow, to a round of cheers. Act One was in the book. Ferrell sought to play for 10 clubs in five Cactus League games Thursday as part of an effort to bolster public awareness in the fight against cancer. Major League Baseball, which helped coordinate the project, moved the start for the game at HoHoKam up one hour to 12:05 p.m. to aid the Mesa-Tempe-Scottsdale-Glendale-Peoria itinerary. HBO filmed Ferrell’s efforts for broadcast later in the year. “It is for a good cause,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “It’s a little bump in the road (in terms of routine), but what he’s doing is for a good charity. “A lot of folks have been touched by this, so we’re all for it.”

Jackson: Believes spring with M’s will lead to better results at the plate From Page C1

leaders — and then being able to go out and lead by example. This team has those guys.” These Mariners also have Jackson, who spent most of the last five years as the triggerman atop the Detroit lineup before a July 31 deadline trade last year brought him to the Pacific Northwest. The change didn’t go well. Jackson struggled over the final two months, compiling a .229/.267/.260 slash (batting average/on-base percentage/ slugging percentage) in 54 games that paled in comparison to his pre-trade career numbers of .277/.342/.413. “It was a tough transition,” said manager Lloyd McClendon, who spent four years as Jackson’s hitting coach in Detroit. “Offensively, he fell into some bad habits that we need to clean up.” The problem required more than a mechanical tune-up, though. Jackson realizes, in

retrospect, that he simply didn’t adjust well to the change and, subsequently, allowed problems to mushroom. “When you come in (from another team) and get thrown into the fire,” he said, “you’re trying to fit in. You’re trying to get to know guys and do your best to contribute.” When it didn’t click right away, Jackson tried harder — he pressed — and it backfired. An offseason’s reflection brought him to camp this spring with a resolve to relax. “I think a big thing is just being able to get started here,” he said. “Start with the team and be in a situation where it’s just about getting your work in, really just getting into baseball shape. “You’re able to just relax because you’re not really worry about the results as much. You can just think about getting yourself prepared for the season.” So far, so good. Jackson is 5-for-14 in four

games and flashed his speed Thursday against Oakland with a line-drive triple and in beating out a grounder for an infield single. “My approach is to use the whole field,” he said. “Not try to do too much. Just take what they’re giving me. Don’t try to pull too much. Don’t try to hit for a lot of power. “Just make sure I’m seeing it and putting a good swing on it.” McClendon identifies Jackson as “the key” to the Mariners’ attack. “At the top of the order,” McClendon said, “we need him to jump-start things. I told Austin this, I don’t need a career year out of him. I just need him to be the good player that he is. “If Austin Jackson hits .270 and has an on-base percentage of .340, then we’ll be OK. I don’t need him to be that guy who hits 25 home runs in the leadoff spot. I just need him to get on base.” Then it really might seem like Detroit.

The facts

The Mariners suffered a second straight ninth-inning collapse Thursday when they blew a two-run lead and lost on Kent Matthes’ two-out, walkoff RBI single against minor-league lefty Paul Fry. Most of the damage came against veteran Mark Lowe, who was charged with all three runs after giving up three doubles and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. The Mariners (4-6) gave up three runs in the ninth inning Wednesday in a 4-1 loss to Colorado.

Play of the game

First baseman Jesus Montero turned in a nimble, acrobatic move in grabbing an off-line throw from shortstop Ketel Marte and applying a tag on Josh Phegley for the final out in the second inning.

Plus

Austin Jackson ignited a two-run second inning with a line-drive triple to left. He also beat out an infield single in the fifth. ... Stefen Romero had two hits as the designated hitter.

Minus

The Mariners failed to hit the ball to A’s shortstop Will Ferrell in the first inning. (Then again, the A’s failed to hit the ball to Mariners second baseman Will Ferrell in the second inning.) ... Two Mariners were picked off first base: Willie Bloomquist in the fourth by Matt Buschmann, and Ian Miller in the fifth by Dan Otero.

Job battles

Three strong outings from lefty relief candidates. David Rollins had a one-two-three fourth inning with two strikeouts and a fly to center. That makes four scoreless one-inning appearances. Tyler Olson then set down six straight batters in the fifth and sixth with three strikeouts. Olson has retired all 15 batters faced this spring with eight strikeouts. Rafael Perez stranded inherited runners at second and third with two outs in the seventh inning.

Quotable

Mariners starter Jordan Pries, who spent most of last year at Triple-A Tacoma, retired nine of 10 hitters after yielding a first-pitch triple in the first inning to Billy Burns. “That’s something I take pride in, really,” Pries said. “When stuff starts to go wrong — unfortunately in this outing, it was the first pitch — just having poise and getting back on the mound and going after the next guy.”

Extra innings

Second baseman Robinson Cano is expected to return Friday from the Dominican Republic and rejoin the lineup for Saturday’s game against Arizona at Salt River Fields. He left camp last Saturday following the death of his grandfather.

Up next

The Mariners return Friday to Peoria Stadium for a 1:05 p.m. game against Milwaukee. Lefty J.A. Happ is scheduled to start against Brewers righty Mike Fiers. Also slotted to pitch: Carson Smith, Justin Germano, Forrest Snow, Danny Farquhar and Mike Kickham. Bob Dutton, The News Tribune

Seth Heck, a former Kamiak star, has found a home with the Mississippi State baseball team.

me in and understood that I was a long way from home. They’ve treated me like family.” The story of how Heck got to Mississippi State is emblematic of how the recruiting process can help both the player and the institution. Following the 2013 season — a year that saw the Bulldogs lose in the CWS championship series to UCLA — both incumbent shortstop Adam Frazier and the high school prospect the Bulldogs were bringing in to replace him turned pro after being selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. With just a few short months before the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, Mississippi State coach John Cohen and his staff searched for a junior-college player who would be able to step in and contribute right away. Enter Heck, who had just wrapped up a two-year career at Tacoma Community College, where he hit better than .330 both seasons and made fewer than 15 errors in more than 500 chances at shortstop. “We never saw him play, but people we knew and trusted had seen him and thought he would be a tremendous fit,” said Cohen, who recruited 2006 SEC Player of the Year and former Mountlake Terrace star Ryan Strieby to Kentucky. “There’s an old saying in recruiting, ‘You don’t recruit what you want, but you’re going to get who you are.’ Seth Heck is who we are. He is the same kid every single day, and what he brings to the table is something very special. He’s a model of consistency for us, and a great teammate and leader.” Cohen added that the fact that Heck swung the bat so well in the NWAC, which uses wood bats, only added to his interest. Heck seized the starting shortstop job eight games into the 2014 season and never relinquished it, batting .299 in his first SEC season. Even more impressive was his total of four errors in 251 chances at shortstop. “When the ball touches his glove, there’s a very good chance that there’s going to be an out attached to it,” Cohen said. “You can have all the arm strength and athleticism in the world, but there are many defenders that struggle with finishing plays. Seth finishes plays and gets outs, and it makes our pitching staff more comfortable if balls are hit to the left side of the infield.” Heck has always been able to field the ball — he won the SEC’s Gold Glove at shortstop in 2014 — and make good contact at the plate, but it took some time for him to adjust to the speed of the game in the SEC. “I had to find a way to slow the game down,” he said. “The ball comes off the bat harder, SEC pitchers throw harder and have better breaking balls, the crowds on the road are wilder. You have to take all these things within the game and slow it down. It’s still the same game. It’s a struggle for guys when so much is happening. You have to look past all those distractions.” Cohen said Heck’s intelligence, both on the field and off, have helped him make the transition to the SEC faster than most. “His ability to simplify the process and to get something in one take is pretty amazing. Sometimes junior-college players who come to us are almost like freshmen because everything in the SEC is so new to them. For Seth to travel two time zones to do this, especially coming to Mississippi from the Northwest, is an even bigger adjustment,” said Cohen, who is from Alabama and played at Mississippi State. Heck had the same skills that have translated so well to the SEC while at Kamiak, where he was a four-year varsity player who set 14 school records for coach Steve Merkley. “He started his second game in his freshman year, and then started every (subsequent) game at shortstop until he graduated,” Merkley said. “We were selling him to everyone, but his size bothered people, especially since he was all of 145 pounds back then. He single-handedly beat Lake Stevens in the first round of the playoffs his senior year with three hits, four runs and five unbelievable plays at shortstop. He was one of those rare players that has talent but he’s so smart that he also out-thinks everyone.” Heck’s intelligence extends to the classroom as well. He was the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2014 and has a 4.0 grade-point average with a major in business administration in his first three semesters at Mississippi State. He will graduate in May, and hopes to work on the business side of sports. But not before he makes a go at a professional baseball career. Heck will be undersized and teams will tell him he can’t stick at shortstop. He’ll just have to prove them all wrong. Again.

Pivec named Gatorade state player of the year Herald staff Mikayla Pivec, who last week led the Lynnwood girls basketball team to its first state championship, has been named the 2014-15 Gatorade Washington Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Gatorade made the announcement Thursday morning. “It’s a great accomplishment for Mikayla,” Lynnwood coach Everett Edwards said. “To do it as a junior is very special.” Pivec was selected over players from all classifications, including Gonzaga Prep guard Laura Stockton, who helped lead the Bullpups to consecutive 4A state championships. “It shows that (Pivec) has worked tremendously hard to be the best, to be consistent all year long,” Edwards said. “She’s been playing this way since her freshman year in terms of her effort and her ability to impact the game in a number of different ways. To get this type of recognition is truly great for her and it just shows that hard work does pay off.” Pivec averaged 20.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.5 steals per game for the Royals this season. She scored 31 points and pulled down 17 rebounds in Lynnwood’s 54-42 victory over Cleveland in last Saturday’s Class 3A state championship game. She also scored 24 points and grabbed 24 rebounds in a victory over Central Kitsap in the regional round of the state

tournament, and scored a career high 33 points in a regular-season win over Edmonds-Woodway. In a 67-26 win over Shorewood on Jan. 26, Pivec recorded the first triple-double of her high school career, finishing with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 steals. The state player-of-the-year awards were announced at 5 a.m. PDT Thursday. Pivec received a personalized message via YouTube from WNBA star Elena Delle Donne, who plays for the Chicago Sky. “Mikayla, this is where the journey really starts,” Delle Donne said in the message. “Congrats on winning the 2014-15 Gatorade State Girls Basketball Player of the Year award and welcome to the Gatorade Player of the Year family.”

All-State selections Collin Kane of Snohomish, Karsten Chaplik of Stanwood and Noah Bundrant of King’s have been selected to play in the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association All-State games. The games, which feature the top seniors from around the state, are Saturday at Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish. Kane will play for the Class 4A squad, Chaplik for the 3A team, and Bundrant for the 1A All-Stars. Doors open at 1 p.m. The first game features the 1B All-Stars against the 2B All-Stars at 2 p.m., followed by 1A vs. 2A at 4 p.m., and 3A vs. 4A at 6 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students.

Iowa State beats Seattle advances to WAC semis Texas at buzzer COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Northwest Roundup

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Isiah Umipig scored 17 points and the game-winning free throw and third-seeded Seattle rallied to beat No. 6 seed Chicago State 49-45 on Thursday night in the Western Athletic Conference tournament. The Redhawks (1514) advance to face second-seeded UMKC in a semifinal Friday. Umipig had four steals and three assists for Seattle, which trailed 33-23 at halftime. Seattle’s Jack Crook tied it at 37 in the second half with a layup, but Clarke Rosenberg hit a 3 amid an 8-0 run and the Cougars pulled ahead

43-37. Umipig hit two free throws to cap a 10-0 Seattle run and the Redhawks led 47-45 with 2:04 to go. Rosenberg and Jawad Adekoya each missed potential goahead 3s, then Seattle’s Emerson Murray added two more free throws with eight seconds left. Adekoya scored 17 points, including three 3-pointers, for Chicago State (8-24), which shot 31.9 percent.

E. Washington 91, Idaho 83 MISSOULA, Mont. — Tyler Harvey scored a career-high 42 points on Thursday, carrying second-seeded Eastern Washington past No. 7 seed Idaho 9183 in the opener of the Big Sky Conference men’s basketball tournament.

Harvey, the nation’s leading scorer, finished 8-for-12 from 3-point range. He also tied Anthony Johnson’s conference tournament scoring record (Montana, 2010) and Wayne Estes’ Dahlberg Arena record (Utah State, 1964). Drew Brandon scored backto-back layups to cap a 15-2 run and put the Eagles (24-8) ahead 85-75 with 1:07 left. Eastern Washington advanced to the semifinals, awaiting either No. 3 seed Sacramento State or No. 6 seed Portland State. Harvey made four 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the second half and scored 19 during the first 10 minutes. With 10:41 left, the Eagles turned a 3-point halftime deficit to a 64-54 lead. The Vandals (13-17) had a 16-3 rally to go back up by three with just under six minutes left. Connor Hill led Idaho with 23 points.

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Monte Morris rose up and hit an 18-foot jumper at the buzzer, capping a 12-0 closing run that lifted No. 13 Iowa State to a 69-67 victory over Texas in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament Thursday night. Morris finished with 24 points for the second-seeded Cyclones (23-8), who trailed by 16 points before clawing back into the game. Still, Iowa State trailed 67-57 with less than 4 minutes to go when it unleashed a full-court press that helped it draw even. With 5.8 seconds left, the sophomore guard calmly rose up over the Longhorns’ Demarcus Holland for the game-winning shot — sending the Cyclones streaming off the bench into a jubilant pile. Georges Niang added 22 points for the defending tournament champion Cyclones, who advanced to play Oklahoma in the semifinals Friday night.

All-Pro running back Murray joins Eagles Associated Press DeMarco Murray got the money he wanted from his former team’s biggest rival. The All-Pro running back agreed Thursday to a five-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Murray’s deal was valued at $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren’t disclosed. Wearing a gray suit, white shirt and black tie, Murray arrived at team headquarters with his fiancee, Heidi Mueller, on Thursday afternoon. Less than two hours later, the Eagles confirmed they had reached agreement on a threeyear contract with former San Diego running back Ryan Mathews. The tandem joins Darren Sproles and Chris Polk in a crowded backfield. Murray helped the Cowboys win the NFC East title last season while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards. He broke the Dallas record held by NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith and also set a league mark with eight

straight 100-yard games to start the season. Murray will replace two-time All-Pro LeSean McCoy, the NFL’s rushing leader in 2013. Coach Chip Kelly traded McCoy to Buffalo last week in a flurry of stunning moves.

Jaguars release Bryant JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Jacksonville Jaguars have released veteran defensive end Red Bryant, who was due a $500,000 roster bonus Sunday. Bryant was scheduled to count $4.5 million against the salary cap in 2015. A fourth-round draft pick by Seattle in 2008, Bryant joined Jacksonville last year. The 6-foot-4, 323-pound runstopper signed a four-year deal worth $17 million, started all 16 games and finished with 22 tackles and a sack.

Ravens, Forsett agree OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Justin Forsett agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, who keep their leading rusher from 2014. The 29-year-old Forsett is coming off the finest season of his seven-year career. Thrust into a starting role after the Ravens released Ray Rice, Forsett shed his journeyman label to run for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns. Before the 2014 season, he totaled 1,692 yards rushing with Seattle, Indianapolis, Houston and Jacksonville.

Graham From Page C1

to said beach for lunch in his Beechcraft Bonanza airplane following a morning workout — in addition to being an NFL star, Graham also flies airplanes in his spare time. A day later he was in Seattle talking to head coach Pete Carroll and taking a physical. At the Seahawks’ Renton headquarters, Graham was impressed with the “buzz around there, a sense of urgency.” Carroll also made an impression by knowing a lot of details about Graham including, “stuff I had forgotten about.” “Man I love him,” Graham said. “He puts a smile on my face. He really is a player’s coach.” While those two didn’t go into great detail about Graham’s role in the offense just yet, he is already studying tape and sees ways he can help, both as a pass catcher, and as somebody whose presence can open things up for Marshawn Lynch and the running game. “I’ve been watching some film and it seems like a lot of teams play a lot of cover zero against them because of Marshawn Lynch and that read option is so good. ... I think eventually teams won’t be able to do that. You won’t be able to go cover zero to stop the run, and I think I can help open

that up. And then in the red zone, that’s something I’ve always been good at. I’m 6-7, 260 pounds, most of those are like a rebound for me,” said Graham, who went to the University of Miami on a basketball scholarship before eventually taking up football. “I’m looking to really fit in wherever they need me. I’m a team player and I’m all about winning. Wherever they want me and whatever they want me to do I’m 100 percent on board, and that’s with anything.” Being a team player, Graham realizes, could mean a decrease in production. After averaging 88.5 catches, 1,099 yards and 11.5 touchdowns per season over the last four years in New Orleans, Graham might see those numbers go down in a more balanced offense. But having been to the playoffs three times without a Super Bowl berth to show for it, he is more interested in getting where the Seahawks have been the past two years than piling up stats. “Out there in New Orleans we’ve really been flinging the rock,” he said. “For me it’s all about winning. It’s all about having an opportunity and a chance at winning a championship, and that’s all I care about. If a team needs me to catch 100 footballs or a team needs me to catch 30, or a team needs me to catch 15 touchdowns or 5 touchdowns, I’m going to do it. “I’m going to do whatever it takes to win. I’m not complaining at all about any of that. I just want to be part of this team and I want to be there in big moments for this team to help us win games.” One of the first orders of business for Graham this offseason will be to make plans with Russell Wilson. The Seahawks’ quarterback was one of the first people to reach out to Graham following the trade, and

knowing how important his chemistry with Drew Brees was to their success in New Orleans, Graham can’t wait to start working with Wilson this offseason. “I said, ‘I’m going to go wherever I need to go and I’m going to be wherever I need to be to be with you and to work on this chemistry,’ because the most important thing is chemistry, and the only way to work on that is time,’’ Graham said. “You’ve got to run those routes and you’ve got to catch and throw. I’m really looking forward to getting with him and learning more about him as a player, as a thrower, as a passer. I’m excited for it.” And for those worried about another awkward situation with the No. 80 jersey, Graham won’t attempt to wear Steve Largent’s retired number, which happened briefly when Jerry Rice played for the Seahawks. Not long after becoming a Seahawk, Graham actually remembered seeing No. 80 hanging from the rafters at CenturyLink Field, and he is fine with choosing something else, likely, No. 88. Graham also tried to downplay the idea of any bad blood between him and certain members of the Seahawks’ defense like Bruce Irvin, with whom Graham had a pregame altercation in a January, 2014 playoff game, or Michael Bennett, who called Graham overrated after that game. “Whenever we’re all getting ready for a playoff game, you know how serious those games are and you try to motivate your guys,” he said. “There’s a lot of emotion that goes into those games, and when I play, it’s all about winning and it’s all about doing whatever it takes to fire guys up and to get that emotion running. For me, that’s just a part of the game. We play a contact sport and it’s

aggressive, and you have to be aggressive in everything you do.” If anything, Graham isn’t angry about the trash talk between him and the Seahawks in 2013, but rather impressed by what he saw in two meetings with Seattle. “I would say right after the first game, the first thing I noticed was how close they were as an entire unit,” he said. “Not only their defense but their offense. When their offense is on the field, their defensive guys are right there screaming and yelling and literally being fans of their offense. And when their defense is out there their offensive guys are doing the same thing. “It just seems like they have a culture there that kind of breeds a brotherhood, and they pull for each other and they kind of compete, and it seems like for them it’s all about winning. It’s not about individual anything, but about what does it take to get the win? I’m really looking forward to being a part of that.”

Schofield to Falcons Defensive end O’Brien Schofield, who spent the past two seasons in Seattle, is headed to Atlanta, the Falcons announced Thursday. Schofield will be reunited with former Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who took over the Falcons head coaching job this offseason. Schofield appeared in 31 games over the past two seasons and had 28 tackles, including three sacks, and was also a key special teams contributor. He appeared to land a multiyear deal at this time last year with the New York Giants, but a failed physical kept that deal from happening, and Schofield re-signed a one-year deal with Seattle. Schofield is the fourth unrestricted free agent to leave Seattle so far along with cornerback Byron Maxwell (Eagles), linebacker Malcolm Smith (Raiders) and guard James Carpenter (Jets).

LYNNWOOD — They have suffered an appearance-altering trauma, and she’s helping them look more like themselves again. Dawn Hunter, a Lynnwood esthetician, is donating her services to those who have experienced a medical condition or injury that has changed their physical features. She has donated such things as permanent cosmetics or skin treatments to one patient a month for the past three years. Many of the people who have received her help are burn victims or cancer patients who have lost their hair, eyebrows and eyelashes during chemotherapy. “It’s such an important identity thing to them,” said Hunter,

to make the loss of lashes less noticeable. “You’d never know it was permanent makeup,” Hunter said. “It’s very realistic, very natural.”

Hunter uses skin pigmentation treatments to cover up scars, uneven skin tone and changes in the body caused by breast cancer surgeries. “Just like you can do art on a canvas, you can do art on the skin,” Hunter said. “It helps the patient to feel whole again.” Tera Martin, of Sammamish, was diagnosed with breast cancer at 28.

U.S. military is healthy, with a southern drawl A

new “Population Representation” report on the U.S. military affirms that the four-decade-old volunteer force is a healthy cross-section of America, if just a little smarter, a little better educated and with a deeper southern drawl than the nation as a whole. The percentage of female enlisted members has declined slightly over the past decade, to 14.5 percent, reflecting lower wartime retention rates, while the percentage of female officers continued to climb past 17 percent. The racial, ethnic and socioeconomic mix is not too different from America itself. Among recent recruits, blacks are slightly overrepresented, at 18.7 percent versus 15.5 percent of recruitage youth. But the report notes important gains for blacks across the career enlisted force. “Contrary to what one might expect,” it says, “black service members are underrepresented among junior enlisted pay grades (relative to whites) but overrepresented in the senior pay grades. This is particularly true for the top enlisted leadership positions (E8 and E9). It reflects both strong black accession percentages in the 1990s and black service members’ high continuation rates and competitiveness in the promotion process.” The number of Hispanics in uniform is climbing, though not at a pace to match Hispanic population growth nationwide. In

TOM PHILPOTT MILITARY UPDATE 1978, the report notes, Hispanics were 6.1 percent of accessions; by 2013 they were 15.5 percent, still short of 21.1 percent Hispanics among all recruit-age youth. Asians are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. but their recruit numbers lag. They were 5.4 percent of recruit-age youth in 2013 but 3.8 percent of nonprior service accessions. Congress has required an annual report on the composition of the armed forces since 1974, the year after conscription ended. This year’s report, prepared for the Department of Defense by CNA Corp., analyzes fresh data compiled by the Defense Manpower and Data Center through fiscal 2013. It explains how the mix of volunteers has changed over time and why recruit quality, recently at an all-time high, likely won’t stay there. The full report is online at: http://www.cna.org/pop-rep with a lot more detail on both active and reserve components. In 2013 all service branches,

including the Coast Guard, met recruiting goals, taking “high percentages of high-quality recruits” and significantly exceeding their own goals, CNA officials noted in releasing the report. “We cannot expect such good news in the future,” it warns, because recruiting success “is closely tied to the state of the economy. In 2013 the unemployment rate was 7.4 percent (15.5 percent among those 16 to 24 years old) and it was difficult to find employment.” The jobless rate now is 5.8 percent, lowest in six years. “As the economy continues to expand we can expect recruiting to get tougher and tougher,” CNA warns. As of Sept. 30, 2013, active duty strength stood at 1.37 million, down 41,000 over the previous two years. That was 600,000 fewer enlisted than were on active duty in 1973 when the draft ended. The Marine Corps, smallest of Department of Defense services, had the same number of active duty members in 2013 (196,000) as it did 40 years earlier. Yet over that period, Army active duty strength fell 63 percent, to 528,000; Navy strength fell 54 percent, to 320,000; and Air Force dropped by 46 percent, to less than 327,000. The all-volunteer force is far more senior than during the draft-era when skills were less technical and services needed fewer careerists. The services were flush with quality recruits

IN UNIFORM Active Duty Air Force Reserve Airman 1st Class Isha E. Oliver graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. Oliver is the daughter of Stephen and Dorien Oliver, of Monroe. She is a 2012 graduate of Sky Valley Education Center, Monroe. This year marks the U.S. Navy Reserve centennial anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed March 14 to be “Navy Reservist Day” in Washington. Capt. Scott C. McMahon, commander of Navy Region Northwest Reserve Component Command, and Cmdr. Derek Dwyer, commander of Navy Operational Support Center in Everett, will host a Centennial Celebration at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the Naval Station Everett Grand Vista Ballroom. More than 160 Navy Reserve sailors with their families plan to attend. Rear Adm. Eric C. Young will be the keynote speaker. Troy McClelland, Port of Everett Dist. 1 commissioner, will also make remarks as a reserve officer.

from 2011 through 2013 not only because of a poor economy, but a post-war drawdown that allowed the Army and Marine Corps, in particular, to be more selective than in the past. Recruits are deemed high quality if they have at least a high school diploma and entrance exam scores that are at or above the 50th percentile of test scores nationwide. In 2013, the proportion of high-quality recruits was 96 percent for Air Force and Coast Guard, 82 percent for Navy, 72 percent for Marine Corps and 61 percent for Army. Recruiters worry that every year a smaller slice of the nation’s youth qualify for service. In 2013, only 13 percent were both available (not in college) and could meet recruiting standards without a waiver. An estimated 22 percent of youth would be disqualified for medical issues, 21 percent are overweight, 14 percent have mental issues and 8 percent used illegal drugs. To assess how recruits track on a socioeconomic scale, the report uses census data to divide the nation into five strata of affluence, from poorest to wealthiest areas. It found most recruits hail from the three middleincome quintiles and under represent poorest and wealthiest neighborhoods. Fewer recruits from lowest income areas “are likely explained” by military educational and aptitude test scores requirements, the report

explains. Lower representation from highest income neighborhoods “is probably due to higher college attendance rates … in those census tracts.” The military continues to recruit most heavily from southern states while youth of northeastern states are underrepresented based on the relative size of their recruit-age populations (18 to 24). Georgia and then Florida topped an “accession share” list, providing 47 and 44 percent more recruits, respectively, above their youth populations. Other states sending at least 25 percent more recruits than expected are Idaho, Virginia, South Carolina, Maine, Arizona, Hawaii and Alabama. Ten states that provide fewer recruits than expected given their youth numbers are: North Dakota, Massachusetts, Utah, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, South Dakota, Kentucky and Iowa. The District of Columbia provides the smallest proportion recruits in the nation. The disparities reflect several factors including local qualification rates for military service, propensity to enlist and the level of recruiting resources the services commit to each state.

getting permanent cosmetics at first. But she did some research and decided to give it a go. Martin had her eyebrows done at Hunter’s Lynnwood practice this past November. “The work she did was spectacular,” Martin said. “I feel more feminine and gorgeous. More myself, I would say.”

After the chemotherapy, Martin enjoyed eight months of remission before her cancer came back. In the next eight months she plans to have two surgeries and do radiation therapy. She expects to do hormone therapy for five years. Despite the cancer, Martin plans to continue her work with the Pink Gene

Foundation. She founded the nonprofit in 2013 to raise money for cancer research and support other young women with breast cancer. It was stories like Martin’s that made Hunter want to help patients who have had their appearance altered. “To give them back that sense of self feels good,”

she said. Now she’s working with local doctors to make sure they know such help is available for patients after surgeries. She’s also looking for charities that might be able to help cover the cost of treating more people. Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; anile@heraldnet.com.

Airline fumbles promise of a refund

DAILY CROSSWORD

Question: My husband and I had to cancel a flight from Tucson, Arizona, to Charlotte, North Carolina, last summer because my mother-in-law passed away in Ohio and we needed to be at her funeral. We contacted Expedia to cancel and were advised that the death of a parent was a legitimate reason for cancellation and refund. We followed the steps it gave us. Expedia didn’t acknowledge receipt of this information, even though we sent it twice. In January, we found out that Expedia had not given the information to US Airways. The airline is insisting that we must book and take a flight by the end of February; otherwise, we will lose our ticket credit.

Expedia representative said you could get your money back, then you should have received a refund after sending your mother-in-law’s death certificate. It appears that instead, Expedia simply canceled your flight, leaving you with a ticket credit that needed to be used before the end of February. You still would have to pay a change fee and any fare differential. By the way, US Airways would offer any passenger a ticket credit, so it wasn’t really doing you any favors. Expedia should have processed the paperwork with US Airways as it promised — if not the first time, then the second time you sent the necessary documents. It’s not clear why it didn’t. Maybe it never received the necessary forms. Maybe someone just pushed the wrong button.

Her diet change goes against tradition Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend, Mike, for about two years, and things are going great. During this time, I have become very close with his family. Both of his parents came to the United States from Europe, and with their culture comes his mother’s traditional cooking and the need to make sure everyone’s bellies are full. I have always enjoyed her food; however, in the last six months I have become a vegetarian. Out of courtesy for her, I have been making sure to eat at home before spending time at Mike’s house. I can see that his mother feels a bit put off because I have been eating less of her food, but I feel it would be rude to ask her for a separate meal to accommodate my diet. — Nervous In New England Dear Nervous: Your boyfriend’s mother may be put off because she doesn’t understand why you seem to be enjoying her cooking less. If you and Mike have been seeing each other for two years, you and his mother should be able to have an honest conversation. TELL her you enjoy her cooking, but that you no longer eat meat, etc. If she volunteers to prepare something else for you, it would be gracious of her. However, if she doesn’t, I agree that it would be rude to ask her to do so. Dear Abby: My husband and I were close friends with another couple, seeing them once or twice a week. Then we had to move away because of a job opportunity. We tried to stay in touch, but predictably were not as close as when we were neighbors. A few months ago, we were able to move back RIP HAYWIRE

A club player showed me today’s deal and said his partner had taken one. “He landed at four hearts doubled,” I was told, “and West led the K-A and a third club. My partner ruffed, cashed the ace of trumps and then led ... a spade to dummy’s queen!” That finesse looked about as necessary as a fence around a cemetery, but see

what happened. South continued with the ace of spades, pitching a diamond, and a spade ruff. He led a trump to dummy and returned a diamond to his jack. When West won, he was end-played: A diamond lead would give declarer a free finesse. A spade or club would concede a fatal ruff-sluff. Making four. South knew from West’s doubles where all the missing honors lay. Unless South takes that fatuous-looking finesse in spades, he can’t arrive at the end-play position, and West will get two diamond tricks to defeat the contract.

Costume designer dresses ‘Cinderella’ for success Kenneth Branagh’s >> Director “Cinderella” looks nice, but

lacks substance. A&E, Page 3

INVISION

The stars of Disney’s live-action film “Cinderella,” Lily James and Richard Madden, unveil themed store windows at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York on March 9.

makes her mad sprint to the carriage as the clock strikes midnight. “I wanted it to float behind her and around her and have a life all of its own,” Powell says. Creating the look was time consuming: One ball gown took 20 people a total of 500 hours to complete.

Tight fit For James, wearing Cinderella’s gown also meant putting on a corset. Powell is very particular when creating designs that the under garments are as close to authentic as possible. “I want to dispel the myth that corsets are uncomfortable,” Powell says. “Corsets are uncomfortable if they are made badly or if they don’t fit right. If they are made to fit properly, your squeezey bits — like your waist — get pulled in properly and it shouldn’t push on your rib cage.

All that it does is that it makes you aware of your posture.” It took about 20 minutes to get James into the costume, including lacing up the corset. The corset didn’t hurt James, but there was a side effect Powell hadn’t anticipated. Richard Madden, who plays the Prince, noticed during dance scenes with Cinderella that if James ate anything while in the corset she would have some pain. They would have to stop so it could be loosened.

Glass slippers The long ball gown served another purpose, too. James was able to wear comfortable running shoes because the gown covered her feet completely. She never wore the glass slippers that prove so important to the tale. Powell designed the slippers based on an 1890s shoe she saw in a museum. The 5-inch heels

gave the shoes a modern look that was still suitable for the fairytale. She had casts made of the shoes, which were sent to a company that created the slippers out of cut crystal. The shoe is made up of three pieces of crystal fastened together. The shoe was only used as a prop. Scenes that show the slippers were added via computers after the filming was completed. When asked about the cut crystal shoes, James smiles and says they didn’t fit her feet. She immediately realizes that she’s ruined the fairytale ending and adds, the shoe wouldn’t fit anyone’s foot.

Color schemes Powell spent a year working on the movie’s costumes. The process started with buying a variety of fabrics that she cut into small pieces and placed together to see how the colors compliment each other. She opted to go with a 19th century look, especially when designing the military look for the Prince. “This is a very attractive period for men compared to 18th century, which is more flamboyant and flowery. This is quite masculine and elegant,” Powell says. “I did make the trousers a little tighter than they would be.” Powell’s design knowledge comes from years of experience. The London native first worked on the TV movie “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Since then she’s designed costumes for both modern (“The Crying Game”) and period (“Shakespeare in Love”) stories and has worked

Waiting in the wings Most of her work for “Cinderella” went as Powell planned — except for a small issue with the Fairy Godmother design. Helena Bonham Carter would only play the role if the character had wings. Bonham Carter had to put up with a lot for the costume to work. Her dress is filled with lights and batteries to make her shine. That’s why Powell was finally willing to add a small pair of wings to her look. Director Kenneth Branagh says Bonham Carter joked that every day there was a man to turn her on. Powell also created the costumes that Cate Blanchett slinks around in as the scheming stepmother. She went with a lot of greens. “I like green and it suits her,” Powell says. “She does wear other colors, but they’re all kind of cool gem colors. She also wears a lot of black. I didn’t want her all in black but a mix of black and strong colors that would work with that.” Creating costumes is a long and complicated process. Powell’s advice to those who want to follow a similar career: Work hard, never give up and “follow your dreams.” And as Cinderella can tell you, “a dream is a wish your heart makes.”

LOS ANGELES — The Fairy Godmother gets all the credit for turning Cinderella into the magically dressed belle of the ball in the new live action film, but it’s actually Sandy Powell who deserves the recognition. The three-time Oscar winner designed all of the clothing, from the hypnotic blue ball gown to the shimmering epaulets on the Prince’s uniform. Powell’s role is to help bring the story to life; in “Cinderella” that meant a major part of the story was told with the costumes that the mistreated stepdaughter wears. Cinderella only wears four costumes in the film, but each is as distinct as the next. Nothing compares to her blue ball gown, which is featured in almost every advertisement for the movie. Powell blended a variety of hand-painted layers of fabric in different hues to create the blue color. “The dress is made up of six layers of very fine fabric. The top level is a very expensive silk, while the others are a polyester. But the material is so light if you throw a piece of it up in the air, it just floats down really slowly,” Powell says. Each layer is hand-painted a different shade of blue, green, lavender, lilac and white. Powell wanted the dress to have the soft hues associated with water color paintings. The most important thing about the dress was the movement. Powell knew the dress would look wonderful when actress Lily James twirled it around the ballroom floor. She was more interested in the way it would look when Cinderella

on “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Tempest,” “The Young Victoria” and “Mrs. Henderson Presents.” She says period costumes are far easier since everyone has an opinion about the way modern clothes should look. Period films mean Powell has to create every item of clothing to find the right look.

‘Cinderella’ scores on garb By Diana M. Le Special to The Herald

At the preview for Disney’s live-action retelling of its 1950 animated favorite, “Cinderella,” I saw both young girls and grown women decked out in gowns and tiaras. The fans are ready, and, when the mood strikes me, I also can be swept up in watching two beautiful people fall in love. And beautiful they are: Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) as Prince Charming in some very flattering tight pants and “Downton Abbey’s” Lily James as the demure and free-spirited Ella, who wears butterflies in her hair because that’s just her brand of Manic Pixie Dream Girl. (Let’s also here bestow the praisinghands emoji upon James’ eyebrows, the boldness of which is unprecedented by any other Disney princess.) The familiar plot has been gently tweaked. Prior to the fateful ball, Ella now meets Prince Charming in the forest, where he claims to be a humble apprentice working at the palace. Ella’s also been given more agency. Unlike most adaptations of the Perrault folk tale, this Ella is hardly embarrassed

“Cinderella” actors for success. Short Takes, D6 by her low station. She soon adopts a strong take-meas-I-am attitude, surely designed to appeal to girls raised on “Frozen.” After being christened Cinderella by her evil stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and stepsisters, she chooses to reclaim the demeaning nickname and make it her own. Is that the best message for how to respond to bullying? Perhaps not the worst. It’s fair to say that no one does “Cinderella” quite like Disney. My circle still speaks in hushed, reverent tones about Disney’s racially diverse 1997 TV adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Cinderella” starring Brandy, with Whitney Houston as her fairy godmother. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, this bubblegum version doesn’t inspire quite the same adoration, though it features my favorite color palette: shades of sparkle. And the new “Frozen” short that precedes the film is alone worth your $12 ticket price.

‘Kung Fu Elliot’: Strange things afoot in Halifax

n the geekshow school of documentary, strange pockets of humanity are uncovered so we can laugh at the foibles of people who are not us. Either you feel bad for laughing, or you reject that sort of condescending approach altogether. (Or, you feel superior to other people, I guess.) “Kung Fu Elliot” invites audience mirth at the expense of its collection of

ROBERT HORTON Nova Scotia oddballs, but you might not feel so guilty about your laughter by the time the movie reaches its bizarre, late-hatching revelations. There’s some creepy stuff going on in Halifax, folks. At first, the movie comes on like the Canadian answer to “American Movie,” that portrait of a hopelessly incompetent indie filmmaker (a geekshow doc par excellence). Our central figure is Elliot Scott, an out-of-condition martial-arts practitioner. Elliot lives with (or off) his girlfriend, Linda Lum; she

exists in a mode of deadpan exasperation and is also a producer, photographer, and driver (“because I have a car”) for Elliot’s moviemaking exploits. He seeks to be the JeanClaude Van Damme of Canada, although thus far his two self-made features are being sold outside video stores. The documentary tracks the progress of “Blood Fight,” Elliot’s newest kung fu flick. Incredibly, he actually gets some footage shot in China, when his acupuncture class visits there. Elliot’s feeble martial-arts demonstration in front of an actual Shaolin monk is one the movie’s indicators that Elliot’s bravado might not actually be founded in reality. In short, Elliot starts looking less like a selfdeluded dreamer and more like a sociopath.

“Kung Fu Elliot” ★★1⁄2 Documentary portrait of a deluded Canadian who believes his homemade movie efforts will turn him into the JeanClaude Van Damme of Nova Scotia. At first this film is a geekshow, as we laugh at Elliot Scott’s pathetic dreams, but eventually things turn more sociopathic and disturbing. Rating: Not rated; probably R for language, nudity Showing: SIFF Cinema Directors Matthew Bauckman and Jaret Belliveau play the audience quite skillfully here, as the story gradually goes down a disturbing road. It’s like watching the career of Ed Wood unfold in time-lapse quickness: from gung-ho promoter to ham-handed moviemaker to sleazy purveyor of soft-core (and possibly hard-core) porn. It’s a strange game for a documentary to play, and it leaves behind a faintly sour taste; you feel especially bad for the

people sucked into Elliot’s high-kicking vortex. (One “Blood Fight” actor, hung out to dry by Elliot and the doc filmmakers alike, seems to have sprung from the “Waiting for Guffman” ensemble cast.) I’m mostly sure “Kung Fu Elliot” is for real; if not, somebody went to a lot of trouble to create the trailers for Elliot Scott’s past DVD efforts, such as “They Killed My Cat.” Search out that one online, and revel in the campy realm of human absurdity.

Argentinean ‘Wild Tales’ jammed with twists, turns By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic

The opening sequence of “Wild Tales” sets up a “Twilight Zone”-style series of revelations, compressed into just a few minutes of time. Passengers riding on a suspiciously underfilled plane begin to realize that there might be a reason for their presence there, beyond the obvious business of getting to a destination. Writer-director Damián Szifrón wants to get his movie started with a bang, and he does — in fact, the rest of this anthology feature doesn’t live up to the wicked curtain-raiser. But there are enough moments of irony and ingenuity to explain why the Oscar voters made this Argentinean entry one of the five nominees in the Foreign Language Film category (it lost to “Ida”). Along with the airplane opening, modes of transportation figure prominently in the stories. In one, a lone driver (Leonardo Sbaraglia) has a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, which allows the

“Wild Tales” ★★★ An Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, this multi-story movie from Argentina contains some ironic looks at vengeance, with plenty of twists mixed in. The lessons are all in your face, but there are some amusing moments along the way. In Spanish, with English subtitles. Rating: R, for violence Showing: Seven Gables

slowpoke he antagonized earlier to stop by and exact revenge. In another, an explosives expert (Ricardo Darín, the star of “The Secret in Their Eyes”) becomes enraged by a parking ticket — rage that leads him to lose everything. But there’s a twist. A lot of these segments rely on a twist, a technique that doesn’t quite disguise how in-your-face the lessons are. The twists also can’t disguise the way some of the tales rely on

illogical behavior to allow their plots to develop. The long final episode suggests that the illogical behavior can be chalked up to a strain of magical realism. Here a wedding reception goes on far longer than it would in the real world, when the bride (Erica Rivas) melts down

after learning something rotten about her groom during the party. The story goes off the rails, but it also hits a crazed pitch that results in some unpredictable highs. Szifrón’s targets are macho culture and the lizardbrain need for revenge, although mostly he’s into

Torch Grill is a sure bet for your taste buds The guy who runs the fitness center in our office building suggested a dining review on the Torch Grill in the Quil Ceda Creek Casino in Tulalip. “We go every couple of months,” he said. “They serve a nice little breakfast for a fair price and it’s always been good. I get scrambled eggs and ham and hashed browns.” Wait, the buff fitness guy eats hashed browns? “Sometimes you just gotta have some hashed browns,” he said. The fitness guy added: “There’s no smoking in the restaurant. If you can make it through the casino and get in there it’s fine.”

March 14: Rare keg of Twice Kastrated Dawg, an Imperial English Strong Ale, aged in a Woodinville Whiskey Barrels on tap.

doors, keeping the smoke and noise at bay. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who led us to a booth in the bright room with a stylish red-and-black decor and tables with white linens. We sank into a comfortable booth. The ambience is relaxing. It makes you want to stay, not eat and run. The menu is extensive, with options to ponder. We agreed on the crostini appetizer ($4.99), which came with two plump heads of roasted garlic and an olive oilbalsamic vinegar dip. It arrived within a few minutes. At the same time, a basket of rolls also arrived, with a bowl of whipped creamy butter,

the way butter is meant to be. I could have dined on bread alone. The roasted garlic was tasty but not overpowering. The crostini was crunchy good. The rolls melted in my mouth. The shrimp fettuccine alfredo pasta ($12.99) came with a piece of bread that was nothing special. The alfredo sauce was some of the best I’ve ever had and the noodles were cooked just right. The Mediterranean burger ($8.99) on ciabatta roll had tzatziki sauce, feta cheese and sliced cucumber. My husband said it had a zing of spice without being heavy. We all liked the sweet potato waffle fries with a

savory dipping sauce. My vegetarian daughter didn’t want a full-fledged veggie burger or a fullfledged salad, but she wanted both. So, she asked the waitress if she could have a veggie patty cut up in a salad. They were happy to do so, and for less than $8. The menu has everything from meatball stroganoff and prime rib to healthy choices and small bites options. The entrees seemed to take forever to come, which was good because we weren’t in a hurry and the bread was wonderful. Also, a steady stream of servers came by to fill our water cups and coffee. The bill came to about $50, including tip.

The grill’s extensive breakfast menu of omelets, bacon, sausage, oats and pancakes was tempting. A Yelp reviewer called it “the Holy Grail of breakfast.” With breakfast covered, I went at lunch. The parking lot was packed. This is, after all, a casino. And it was a Saturday. Inside, the aisles were aglow with the flashing lights of slot machines with hovering slumps of people mesmerized by the animation and fantasy of riches. I was tempted to stop, just for a few minutes and a few dollars, but my family members knew better than to let me get off course. They ushered me to the grill, which is sealed from the casino by glass

Jazz greats Hancock, Corea kick off tour in Seattle By Andy Rathbun Herald Writer

Two jazz greats have teamed up for a tour that will take them to Seattle this weekend. Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea will bring their pianos to the Paramount Theatre at 8 p.m. March 14 for a concert that will bring the two protégés of Miles Davis together for one show. Both musicians got their start in the 1960s and won praise for their trailblazing styles. In jazz circles, the two are often seen as equals, although to the average person, Hancock is certainly the betterknown name. Hancock, after all, won a Grammy for Album of the Year as recently as 2008, when his tribute record, “River: The Joni Letters,”

became the second jazz album ever to win that esteemed prize. That helped shine a light back onto Hancock, whose prolific output has made him an icon. Corea also has won a slew of Grammy awards over the decades, with his peers rewarding his innovative take on jazz fusion. Tickets are $41.25 to $81.25 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849. The Paramount Theatre also will host Widespread Panic this weekend, as the long-running jam band hits the venue for a show at 7 p.m. March 15. The group, which got its start in Georgia in 1985, earned a following for its sprawling blues rock through relentless touring. Widespread Panic hasn’t released a new

album since 2010, when its album “Dirty Side Down” saw release. However, fans might get to hear some new material mixed in with the old favorites this weekend. Front man John Bell teased the idea of new material in some interviews late last year, with a possible new album seeing release sometime in the next year or so. In the meantime, fans will have to rely on old classics from the group’s deep catalog, which includes the minor radio hits “Can’t Get High” and “Hope in a Hopeless World.” Tickets are $41.25 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Herbie Hancock (above) and Chick Corea will begin their world tour with a performance at the Paramount Theatre on March 14.

Lucky 2015, meanwhile, happens tonight at the WaMu Theatre, as the annual electronica festival celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a long list of DJs and producers. Fans can expect to bust out the neon body paint and glow sticks for a bill that includes Zed’s Dead, Steve Angello and two dozen other acts. The 18-and-over show may stretch late into the night, but the beats are expected to start to drop at 6:30 p.m. March 13. Tickets are $91.25 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000. 2Cellos also will play this weekend, heading to the Moore Theatre for a sold-out show at 8 p.m. March 14. The Croation duo made a name for itself on YouTube after posting a video of its all-cello cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal.” Since then, a string of albums have found the pair covering a very diverse range of musicians,

transforming pop hits by Coldplay, Iron Maiden, AC/ DC, U2 and Kings of Leon, among others, into cellocentered compositions. Tickets are sold-out but can be found at a mark-up at stubhub.com. Rick Springfield is playing a “stripped down” set at the Neptune Theatre at 8 p.m. March 18. Springfield — best

known for the 1981 No. 1 single “Jessie’s Girl” — has been playing solo sets at small venues across the country, balancing his songs with “storytelling” about his music. Tickets are $50 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849. Finally, Tycho will play the Showbox SoDo at 8 p.m. March 18. The increasingly

popular electronica artist got his start in 2002 in San Francisco, slowly winning more and more fans with his dreamy blend of electronica and pop music. His most recent album, “Awake,” reached No. 23 on the Billboard 200 — his first album to land on that mainstream chart. Tickets are $25 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.
