Children taken from filth

Siblings, 10 months, 3 and 7, were living alone in ‘horrific’ conditions

Report finds no real threats The county deputy executive’s comments were inappropriate, an investigation finds, but didn’t violate any laws or policies.

LAKE STEVENS — Three children have been taken into protective custody after police found them apparently abandoned by their parents and living in filthy conditions, detectives said Tuesday.

The parents were arrested Tuesday at a Child Protective Services hearing and booked into the Snohomish County Jail, Lake Stevens police detective Dean Thomas said.

The man and woman, both 32, were being held Tuesday for investigation of felony mistreatment and abandonment of dependents.

A 7-year-old girl, 3-year-old boy and their 10-month-old brother likely had been alone in the house for days. The baby was alone in a locked room, wearing a heavily soiled diaper. He was hypothermic and dehydrated.

The older children had no food and cowered under filthy blankets when police officers knocked on the door.

There was so much human and animal waste inside the home that officers wore respirators and plastic boots.

Police were called to the house along 11th Place SE on Saturday. A woman had gone there because she was owed money by one of the suspects, documents show.

She called authorities to report

It’s the worst house I’d ever been in with children living in it, by far the worst.

possible child neglect.

“Patrol (officers) could hear little footsteps coming to the

door and little footsteps walking away from the door,” Thomas said.

They persuaded the oldest child, the 7-year-old girl, to let them inside, Thomas said.

She told them her parents were upstairs with her baby brother. In truth, there were no adults in the home.

The 3-year-old boy was beneath filthy blankets and laundry on a couch. The baby upstairs wasn’t moving and was unresponsive to voices, Thomas said. A space heater had been left on in the room near a pile of dirty diapers.

EVERETT — In a fit of frustration last fall, Snohomish County’s top administrator let fly some inappropriate remarks about three county councilmen in a roomful of employees.

However out of line, no one at the Oct. 28 cabinet meeting believed Deputy Executive Mark Ericks seriously wanted to shoot anyone. That’s one of the takeways from an investigation the County Council hired a private attorney to perform.

“I conclude that no laws or policies were violated,” attorney Tom Fitzpatrick wrote.

The council released Fitzpatrick’s report Tuesday.

Because Ericks, as an at-will employee, is exempt from some county personnel rules, and because the people he made his comments about are public officials, grounds for pursuing legal action are shaky at best, Fitzpatrick determined.

Council Chairman Dave Somers said the report’s findings should in no way “be misconstrued as excusing the deputy executive’s actions.” To him, they show why the council thought it necessary to enter into the $15,000 contract with Fitzpatrick to find out whether Ericks had subjected them to workplace harassment.

Lawmakers seek changes to initiative process Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — This sounds familiar.

Voters carve a popular idea into state law with an initiative.

Then lawmakers say money isn’t available to carry it out and wish

aloud that voters had realized this when they marked their ballots.

It’s been a lament of lawmakers when they’ve suspended the voters’ mandate in Initiative 732 to give public school teachers annual cost of living adjustments.

Second Harper Lee novel to be published in July Associated Press NEW YORK — “To Kill a Mockingbird” will not be Harper Lee’s only published book after all.

Publisher Harper announced Tuesday that “Go Set a Watchman,” a novel the Pulitzer Prizewinning author completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14.

Rediscovered last fall, “Go Set a Watchman” is essentially a sequel to “To Kill a Mockingbird,” although it was finished earlier.

Reactions ranged from euphoria to skepticism about Lee’s cooperation and about the quality of the new book. Biographer Charles J. Shields noted that Lee was a “beginning author” when she wrote

what was reported to me, information that I then relayed to Executive Lovick,” Somers said.

“I remain deeply disappointed in the actions of Deputy Executive Ericks and the inaction of Executive Lovick to date.”

While Lovick disagreed with spending money on the council’s investigation, he said it supports his own conclusion that Ericks made no threats.

“I am pleased with the outcome of the investigation,” he said.

The council hired Fitzpatrick in December. The Seattle attorney once worked for Snohomish County as a deputy prosector and in other roles.

Somers wrote a formal complaint to Lovick about Ericks on Nov. 18.

The council chairman said he feared the executive wouldn’t do anything about his concerns, which they’d previously discussed in private.

On Dec. 4, Lovick announced that his own inquiry found no evidence of threats by his deputy, who’s also a longtime friend and fellow career

“Watchman.”

The 304-page book will be Lee’s second, and her first new work in print in more than 50 years, among the longest gaps in history for a major writer.

“In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called ‘Go Set a Watchman,’” the 88-year-old Lee said in a statement issued by Harper.

“It features the character

known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’) from the point of view of the young Scout.”

Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal was negotiated between

Harper’s lawyer and the head of Harper’s parent company, Michael Morrison of HarperCollins Publishers.

Lee lives in an assisted living center in her hometown of Monroeville, the real-life model for the fictional town of Maycomb of “To Kill A Mockingbird.”

A longtime friend said she is deaf, blind and in poor

health, spending much of her time in a wheelchair.

She was last seen publicly in November at the funeral of her older sister, Alice Lee, who long represented the author and was known for being protective of her.

Harper publisher Jonathan Burnham acknowledged Tuesday that it had had no direct conversations with Harper Lee.

law-enforcement officer.

The following week, the council split 3-2 to hire Fitzpatrick.

At the time, Councilman Brian Sullivan, one of the dissenters, said: “I think we need to put this behind us and shake hands and move forward. I just don’t see ratcheting this up as being productive.”

In his report, Fitzpatrick tried to establish what most likely happened during the Oct. 28 meeting, given varying recollections.

Employees he interviewed generally reported that Ericks had referred to County Councilman Terry Ryan as a “political terrorist” and to Councilman Ken Klein as a “sandwich maker,” in reference to Klein’s former job on the operations side of a foodservices company.

Another allegation is that Ericks had laughed when the newly hired deputy executive of the medical examiner’s office, Dan Christman, made a joke about handing out death certificates during the same meeting. In some tellings of the event, the death-certificate remark referred to Ryan and Somers.

Christman, in Fitzpatrick’s view, made a bad attempt at humor, nothing more.

“I conclude he made a rookie mistake by making an ill advised comment,” he wrote.

While the attorney’s report found no clear legal violations in what Ericks or Christman said, it did recommend investigating other issues in more detail. One is the decision

by Lovick’s administration to hire an employment attorney to sit in on the interviews Fitzpatrick conducted with staff.

The attorney in question, Everett-based Todd Nichols, acted as a witness, not as legal counsel.

Normally, county human resources director Bridget Clawson would have fulfilled that role, but she was a witness during the Oct. 28 meeting and had a conflict of interest, county spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.

Nichols will be paid $325 an hour for his services, Hover said. The executive’s office hasn’t received the final bill.

Nichols is a former chairman for the Snohomish County Democrats. He was among the three nominees, with Lovick, whom county Democrats recommended in mid-2013 to replace Aaron Reardon as county executive.

The other follow-up issue involves allegations that Ericks might have

improperly involved himself in land-use decisions. Fitzpatrick said he was approached by “a credible source” who claimed “that Ericks, using tactics that might be characterized as intimidating, has pressured for expedited treatment or favorable approval of development permits and/ or plat approvals for certain individuals and/or entities.”

The report gives no other details about the claim.

“This is something new to me,” Lovick said Tuesday. “I’m going to need more information to find out exactly what he was referring to.”

The attorney’s report makes sharp-eyed observations about the personalities involved — and the mess that Lovick and Ericks inherited when they took over after Reardon’s resignation.

Fitzpatrick described how much work the pair has had to do to address dysfunction that became part of the county government’s culture during the Reardon years. On top of that, there was the Oso mudslide.

The attorney described Lovick as “gracious, patient in answering my questions, generous with his time when he had a busy schedule, and generally

forthcoming.” The report notes the executive “did not seem particularly detail oriented” and “failed to appreciate” the urgency when Somers tried to discuss Ericks’ comments in November.

Lovick, the former county sheriff and a career state trooper, was appointed county executive in 2013 and was elected to a special oneyear term in office last year.

Ericks left his job as the U.S. marshal overseeing Western Washington to be his second-in-command at the county.

Fitzpatrick describes Ericks as “personable, gregarious, passionate, and intelligent.” It also said he can be protective of Lovick and other Democrats and reacts defensively on policy issues.

Some of those characteristics have played into recent problems in the county. The county’s plans for a new $162 million courthouse remain in jeopardy, largely over miscommunication issues.

Budget disagreements between the council and executive’s office late last year almost led to the state’s first county-level government shutdown.

WSU moving forward on Everett campus The design and location are set, now they just need the money to come through.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

EVERETT — Regents of Washington State University know where they want to construct the future home of the University Center of North Puget Sound.

Now they need to convince state legislators to provide money for WSU to build it.

The Board of Regents last week approved the schematic design for the multi-story structure planned at the corner of North Broadway and Tower Street, across the street from Everett Community College.

Regents, in their meeting in Vancouver, endorsed the designs positioning the four-story, 95,000-square-foot building in

the north corner of the parking lot of the College Plaza shopping center.

If funding is secured this legislative session, work could begin as early as July and be finished in mid-2017, according to Bob Drewel, interim chancellor for the WSU-managed University Center.

WSU is seeking $61 million for the project in the capital construction budget this year. Gov. Jay Inslee included $54.6 million in his proposed spending plan,

which would be enough to get started, though the university is hoping to land its full request.

As proposed, the center would open with 12 classrooms and 10 laboratories. It will have space for a small café and an area set aside for public gatherings.

Conversations for the new University Center building began in 2012. WSU received $10 million in state funding in 2013 to design the facility and acquire adjacent property for future development.

When the building opens, the Cougar flag will be flying outside along with those of the partner universities, including the University of Washington, Western Washington University and Central Washington University.

Washington State also is asking for $4.5 million to launch additional degree programs at the center, including software engineering, sustainable food systems, data analytics and aviation maintenance.

It’s obvious lots of us still have a case of blue Wednesday, after bouts of super-blue Monday and Tuesday.

Homes are still decked out in Seahawks colors. On Tuesday, a 12 flag flew at half-staff outside the Everett School District’s old Colby Avenue headquarters.

At the Everett Mall, a Seahawks flag was hanging over the food court Tuesday, and stores were still selling Super Bowl merchandise.

Hints for shoppers: Macy’s at the mall was charging $80 for gray Seahawks Super Bowl sweatshirts Tuesday. But down the corridor at Madhatterz, all NFL hoodies were on sale for $45. At Sears and the Just Sports shop, some Hawks items were 20 percent off.

Rather than see all those blue and green shirts and 12 banners as signs of sorrow, let’s remember the joys of one terrific season.

I won’t forget watching the Thanksgiving game, a 19-3 win over the 49ers, with my whole family in Spokane. My dad, who turns 92 next week, couldn’t have been more tickled. On Dec. 28, I was thrilled to have a ticket to the last regular-season game, a 20-6 win over the Rams.

Before that, I had attended just one Seahawks game, and that was the season the team played at Husky Stadium. The home game experience was everything I’d heard it would be.

Back in November, Delisa “Momma” Lynch, the mom of Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, spent a chilly Saturday in the parking lot of Everett’s Toys R Us store to help the Snohomish County Sea Hawkers gather donations for Toys for Tots. It was a fun event, and a real display of the Hawks fans’ generosity.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — The city and county have big changes in mind for the open fields and fenced dog park on Cavelero Hill.

A draft master plan for the 33-acre community park includes a covered skate park and basketball court, an indoor BMX facility, volleyball courts, playgrounds and several commercial buildings. There also would be plazas, picnic shelters, parking lots and expanded offleash dog areas.

Cavelero Hill is a countyowned park within Lake Stevens city boundaries, so the two governments have teamed up to plan for its future. Located at the corner of 20th Street and 79th Avenue SE, just off the U.S. 2

Cavalero Community Hill Park will undergo renovation with new commercial amenities as well as a skate park and BMX track.

trestle east of Everett, it’s in one of Lake Stevens’ fastest growing neighborhoods.

Plans for a skate park have been in the works for more than a year, and the site has a

popular fenced off-leash dog area. Cavelero Hill is the largest park in Lake Stevens, city planning director Becky Ableman said. Some of the acreage is protected wetlands, but most remains open space.

The park’s development isn’t keeping up with a growing demand for recreation in the southwest corner of Lake Stevens, city and county officials say. In summer 2014, a planning committee made up of representatives from the city and county councils, city and county park boards, Lake Steven School District and the neighborhood around the park started working on a new master plan. The park’s original master plan is 12 years old.

Smokey Point transit center nears opening day

SMOKEY POINT — A complete overhaul of the transit center here is nearing completion after more than a year of work.

The remodel is meant to create a better transfer hub for north Snohomish County bus

routes. It’s a $3.5 million Community Transit project that started in December 2013. The Federal Transit Administration provided about 80 percent of the funding.

Community Transit hosted a dedication ceremony Saturday morning, celebrating the recent installation of a sculpture by artist Julie Berger, of Brier.

Everett grant money The city of Everett is holding a series of meetings to help develop a recommendation to leaders on what to do with federal Community Development Block Grant money. There will be five meetings at 4 p.m. each Wednesday from Feb. 4 to March 4 in the city’s Department of Planning and Community

About 90 people stopped by during the event, according to the transit agency. Since then, a chainlink fence has been up around the center.

The station won’t open until Feb. 16, Community Transit spokesman Martin Munguia said. Crews plan to install wind screens around the center’s new shelters and finish lighting

Development hearing room, on the eighth floor of the Wall Street Building, 2930 Wetmore Ave. The first four meetings will feature presentations from various nonprofit groups, and a public hearing will be held at the March 4 meeting.

Roundabout art: The city of Lake Stevens is seeking input on a $10,000 project to install

new art in the center of the roundabout at Lundeen Parkway and Vernon and Callow roads.

The wooden fish previously displayed at the roundabout were taken indoors because of weather damage. One fish is mounted in the lobby of the police department. The city plans to select a theme based on public opinion, then seek an artist for the project. The theme options

are family, water, animals, history, outdoors or other. People can send comments to kpugh@ lakestevenswa.gov by Feb. 28 or mail them to Lake Stevens City Hall, P.O. Box 257, Lake Stevens, WA 98258. The city hopes to install the new artwork this year.

Art show in Edmonds: Seattle artist Karen Simonson’s show, “Treere/Threes,” an exhibit of the

artist’s oil-and-acrylic abstract paintings, will be on display at the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St., through March 14.

The exhibit is part of the City of Edmonds Arts Commission rotating exhibit of works by local and regionally based artists.

Simonson attended the University of Washington and spent the following years independently studying art and art history.

totaling 179 buses per day, according to Community Transit. The new center has five bus bays and a raised island with shelters in the middle so more buses can loop around quickly and safely, Munguia said.

“We do have more services there now, and we are expecting to grow,” he said. “It’s larger, but it’s a lot nicer, as well.”

There are new green benches arranged under white, canopied shelters.

Lights have been installed in the shelters and around the transit station, along with open landscaping for visibility. The station also has new security cameras, Munguia said.

It was designed with growth in mind.

“We don’t have specific routes planned, but we know that the area is growing and we expect to see some of that growth with maybe more routes and certainly more buses

on the current routes,” Munguia said.

Buses from Smokey Point connect to Marysville, Everett, Lynnwood, Stanwood and Darrington.

For more than a year, riders have been walking from one stop to another to transfer buses. The reopened and remodeled transit center is meant to give people a bright, dry, safe place to wait for their connection.

There isn’t any parking for cars at the center.

Community Transit officials discussed a Smokey Point Park & Ride about four years ago, Munguia said, but did not receive much interest from the community.

“It’s meant basically so people can take the bus there and transfer, or walk there to catch the bus,” he said. “From there, you can get basically anywhere in the county.”

Planners also eventually hope to extend 24th Street SE until it connects with 83rd Avenue SE near Cavelero Mid High School.

There would be three new parking lots around the park and a paved trail circling the property.

Cavelero Hill could be used for large events, including BMX or skating competitions, Kelley wrote.

The new master plan also outlines three commercial buildings between the park and 20th Street SE. The uses could fit with the park, such as shops for sandwiches or bicycling and skating gear. Revenue from leasing the commercial space could be funneled back into park maintenance.

“It’s an interesting way to continue to fund parks without putting any additional burden on taxpayers,” Teigen said.

All of the ideas brainstormed by the community and drafted by the city will be reviewed in depth by the county, he said.

“I think there’s a lot of opportunity,” he said.

“There’s also a lot of work to do.”

that the committee whittled down into a final plan, Ableman said.

“We heard mostly about the skate park, the dog park and quite a few people from the BMX community,” she said. “The nice thing about this plan is some of those features are covered, so when it’s raining we hope that will extend the use of the park.”

The committee submitted a letter of recommendation to the city council on Jan. 12, and the council voted to forward the plan on to the county for final approval. That process likely will take at least six months, county parks director Tom Teigen said.

“We want to figure out how to phase this in so we can start seeing progress,” Ableman said. Planners also need to determine how much the project could cost and what funds may be available.

A first phase could total about $600,000 and include a playground, skate park and updated off-leash dog area, Teigen said. Details for later steps, like the BMX facility, still need to be vetted

by the county.

“We feel like this is definitely a plan that’s in draft form but heavily supported,” he said. “As far as an early document, it’s great. But we also know there’s a lot more conversations and a lot more chances for people to get involved.”

A master plan looks ahead up to 20 years, so some of the park’s new features might not come into play for a decade or more, Teigen said.

The skate park is one of the community’s priorities, as are playgrounds and the dog park, according to a letter from Jim Kelley, chair of the Cavelero Park Joint Planning Committee. Other features could be built as money becomes available.

State looks to share marijuana taxes with cities

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — Washington state legalized marijuana more than two years ago, but in much of the state, there’s still no place to get the sanctioned stuff: More than 100 cities and counties have banned pot businesses, making it tough to undermine the black market.

Lawmakers think they have at least a partial solution: paying the locals to let licensed weed come to town.

Under bills introduced in both houses in Olympia, the state would share a chunk of its marijuana tax revenue with cities and counties — but only if they allow approved marijuana businesses in their jurisdictions. It’s an approach that has worked to some degree

in Colorado, said Kevin Bommer, deputy director of the Colorado Municipal League.

“It definitely made a difference,” he said Monday.

“Without it, you would not have as many municipalities in Colorado approving retail marijuana sales.”

Washington’s legal pot law, Initiative 502, passed with 56 percent of the vote in 2012. But in many parts of the state — especially in central and eastern Washington — voters opposed it. Officials in many cities have imposed bans on the pot businesses, and courts have upheld their authority to do so.

In Poulsbo, a slim majority of voters approved the legal pot law, but the city adopted an outright ban on marijuana businesses.

Councilman Ed Sterns said the ban was motivated

entirely by the lack of revenue sharing. Sterns serves on the board of the Association of Washington Cities — an organization that was formed to press the state to share liquor revenue after alcohol prohibition ended in 1933. Local governments continue to get a cut of liquor revenue, and if the state does the same with

marijuana, Sterns said he’d urge Poulsbo to reconsider its ban.

“The impacts are entirely local — planning, permitting, inspection and most importantly good community policing,” Sterns said. “Those impacts are partly mitigated by revenue sharing.”

Since legal marijuana

stores opened in Washington last summer, the state has collected $20 million in pot taxes. In Colorado, sales and excises taxes on pot hit $50 million in the first year of legal sales, with about $6 million sent back to local governments.

Under I-502, the tax money was dedicated largely to health care: After the state paid off a few items, including the cost of administering the new law, half of the remaining tax collections were directed to a program that provided health insurance for lowincome workers.

Under the national Affordable Care Act, that program vanished. Some lawmakers, led by La Center Republican Sen. Ann Rivers, want to split the money that would have gone to it: Onethird of it would go to cities and counties based partly

on how much pot-related revenue they generate for the state. The rest would go into the state’s general fund.

Sen. Karen Keiser, a Democrat from Kent, said Monday that she was concerned about the turn away from health care, noting that local health departments are chronically underfunded.

The issue is one of many facing lawmakers on the marijuana front — the most pressing of which is reconciling Washington’s unregulated, largely untaxed medical marijuana system with taxed and regulated recreational sales.

Other measures under consideration include requiring a vote of the public for communities to ban pot businesses, and allowing communities greater flexibility in where the businesses can be located.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Proposals would end grad exams SEATTLE — Two bills being heard in the House Education Committee on Tuesday would eliminate the need to pass statewide tests to earn a high school diploma.

The two proposals would both keep the high school tests in place, but passing those tests would not be a graduation requirement.

A third bill being discussed at the public hearing would keep the graduation requirement but change the way the tests are administered.

Since the graduating class of 2008, tests have been a Washington high school graduation requirements. Current high school students are required to pass reading and writing tests as well as an end-of-course exam in math. Beginning with the class of 2015, state law adds a biology test. Beginning in 2019, Washington students would be required to pass a new set of exams.

Bremerton: Navy investigates filming of women on ship The Navy is investigating an incident aboard the aircraft carrier Stennis in which a sailor

allegedly filmed female officers inside their bathroom.

The warship’s commanding officer, Capt.

Mike Wettlaufer, said he’s disappointed, but pleased the incident was reported.

The Kitsap Sun reported that the incident allegedly occurred Thursday night while the Bremerton-based Stennis was conducting flight qualifications off the coast of Southern California.

Lakewood: Man investigated in ’05 child slaying A man charged with luring children in Lakewood also is being investigated in the unsolved slaying of girl 10 years ago.

The Pierce County prosecutor office charged Patrick David Huber, 59, on Monday with luring. Prosecutors say he approached a 13-year-old boy outside a school and a 4-year-old and 9-year-old brother and sister at an apartment complex play area last month, telling them to come with him.

He appeared in court Monday and is being held with bail set at $300,000.

Lakewood police told a Seattle television station that the lurings led detectives to take a look at Huber in connection with the 2005 death of 10-year-old Adre’Anna Jackson. Her body was found in thick bushes in the same area.

Olympia: State gets $21 million in financial settlement The state of Washington will receive more than $21 million as its share of a settlement with Standard & Poor’s Financial Services for its role in the financial crisis eight years ago.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Tuesday it’s one of the largest consumer protection recoveries for the state. The company will pay a total of $1.4 billion to the federal government and 19 states.

Ferguson said S & P inflated the credit ratings of mortgage-backed securities, misleading investors and contributing to the 2007-2008 financial crisis.

Bill would end daylight saving time in Washington Some lawmakers want to end the annual shift to daylight saving time and put Washington on standard time year around.

State Rep. Elizabeth Scott of Monroe told a House committee Tuesday morning that the biannual time switches are not only inconvenient but lead to health problems and accidents caused by lost sleep.

Pending legislation in 10 states would end springing forward and falling back.

Currently, Washington shifts to daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March through the

first Sunday in November to extend daylight in the evenings. The rest of the year Washington is on standard time in the Pacific zone.

Spokane: Police arrest 2 in assault on transgender woman Spokane police said Tuesday that a 45-year-old man was arrested for investigation of second-degree assault and malicious harassment in the Friday night beating of a transgender woman. Another man, 43, was arrested for investigation of malicious harassment.

The victim said she was assaulted by two men who had been drinking at a bar.

She said police were disrespectful and referred to her as a man.

A police spokeswoman told the newspaper that the officers’ behavior is part of the ongoing investigation.

Walla Walla: Man says he killed horses at ex-wife’s home A Milton-Freewater man pleaded guilty in Walla Walla to killing two horses last fall at the home of his estranged wife in Touchet.

KEPR reported Bud Pratt shot the horses to get back at his wife, even though they didn’t belong to her. She was just boarding them.

Pratt will be sentenced later for malicious killing of livestock, a felony.

in blue and green Monday night. Let’s hope every Seahawks player and all their coaches know that fan support hasn’t dimmed.

“You had it worse than I did. It’s hard, but it’s just a game,” said Diane Wood, a teacher at Camano Island’s Utsalady Elementary School.

And yes, you may recognize her name.

A lifelong Green Bay Packers fan, Wood was featured in this column Jan. 14, before the Seahawks-Packers NFC Championship game. We remember that miracle game, don’t we? The Packers had it nearly won before the Seahawks managed a 28-22 victory in the final minutes.

“That loss was hard,” Wood said Tuesday.

Although she cheered for the Hawks in the Super Bowl, Wood said she wore a different T-shirt during the game in honor of a loved one in Wisconsin.

Her cousin’s daughter is recovering from serious effects of pneumococcal meningitis.

A Packers fan who also likes Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Wood’s relative suffered strokes and recently spent time in a care facility. The woman’s friends made

Brady T-shirts that also said “Karen Strong.”

Wood wore that shirt on Sunday.

“When I talked to my cousin, it put it all in perspective,” Wood said. “It is just a game.”

Damon Matz, a devoted Hawks fan and member of the Snohomish County Sea Hawkers, said friends keep asking him how he’s doing.

“I’m actually fine,” the Lake Stevens man said Tuesday.

An hour after the Super Bowl, Matz posted on Facebook: “I have just this to say, Coach made a call we as 12s would have thought awesome if it was a catch. We as 12s stay with our team.”

On Tuesday, he was staying positive.

“We have a pair of NFC Championship trophies. We were at the Super Bowl,” Matz said.

So let’s move on. And let’s hope Lynch sticks around. I don’t know much, but I would almost rather see the Seahawks lose a Super Bowl than lose No. 24.

“We’re still going to be good this next year,” Matz said. “Hindsight is always 20-20. We all care about the Seahawks, and we can’t be talking bad.

Now no more — we’ll talk about the Mariners.”

UW President Young to be president at Texas A&M

By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The president of the University of Washington will be the next president of Texas A&M University, the chancellor of the Texas A&M system announced Tuesday.

The university’s board of regents voted unanimously to offer Michael K. Young, 65, the job, although Texas law requires another vote in 21 days to confirm that choice.

“That’s a formality in Texas law. Michael Young is going to be the next president of Texas A&M in

21 days,” said Chancellor John Sharp, who said he first approached Young in November about the job in College Station, Texas.

The Texas university is still negotiating with Young over his salary and start date, but Young has already accepted the job, Sharp said.

The University of Washington Board of Regents chose Young in April 2011 as the man to replace Mark Emmert, who left the Seattle campus after about six years to take a job as president of the NCAA. At a news conference shortly after he arrived in Seattle, Young called the presidency of the

University of Washington, “the most exciting challenge in higher education.”

He has helped UW improve its efforts to make money by spinning off companies, something he also was known for at the University of Utah.

During his tenure, the University of Washington has balanced its budget, in part, by accepting a larger proportion of its students from overseas.

Young said he had not been looking to leave Seattle, but the allure of the recruitment process at Texas A&M was too strong.

“My time at the University of Washington without

accomplished here,” Young said in a statement.

Texas A&M has been searching for a new president since July 2013, when R. Bowen Loftin announced his plans to return to the faculty in the College of Engineering.

Texas A&M is the largest university in Texas, with an enrollment of more than 62,000 students in College Station and about that many again at its other campuses. Like the University of Washington, Texas A&M is the state’s premier research university.

If Young leaves UW this year, he will lose out on deferred compensation of

question has been the most rewarding of my professional career to date. The university is one of America’s great universities and I’m proud of what we’ve

nearly $1 million, which his contract promised if he stays in the job until June 2016.

About his expected salary in Texas, Sharp said he would be well compensated, but not as well as the football coach. He also is not as well paid as the UW football coach.

Young previously worked as president of the University of Utah for seven years.

Young studied law at Harvard and served as a law clerk to the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist at the U.S. Supreme Court.

He taught law at Columbia and focused his research on international law and human rights.

Kirkland man pleads guilty to threatening former Ferguson officer surveillance video of the shooting was released publicly, he allegedly wrote, “We really need to start killing the police . OOoooppps I mean our oppressors.”

On Sept. 15, AbdulJabbaar posted Wilson’s photograph after a hacker put it up on the Internet, according to the complaint.

“This dude needs his house sprayed,” he allegedly wrote.

A few weeks later, he wrote,

“We the oppressed people need to kill this white cop,” the complaint says.

On Nov. 16, the complaint says, Abdul-Jabbaar wrote a lengthy missive on his Facebook page, anticipating the grand-jury’s decision not to charge Wilson. “How many are preparing, are prepared for Ferguson? Whatever pocket change I got I’m ready to roll to lay down my

life so who is ready to roll with me.”

When the Ferguson grand jury returned its decision, Abdul-Jabbaar reportedly posted, “Ready to go and kill some cops.”

In late October, AbdulJabbaar is reported to have connected with a friend on Facebook looking to buy a .40-caliber or 9-mm handgun, according to the complaint.

Abdul-Jabbaar has prior drug- and firearms-related convictions.

The charges were brought by FBI Special Agent Brett Glover of the bureau’s Seattle office and Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Making interstate threats carries a penalty of up to five years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

SEATTLE — A Kirkland man has pleaded guilty to a single felony for making an interstate threat against the life of former Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Darren Wilson and his family.

Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar, 46, entered the plea Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue in Seattle. Two other counts are set to be dismissed at sentencing, which is set for June 12 before U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik.

Abdul-Jabbaar was ordered held in detention after his arrest Dec. 2. Donohue ordered him released under supervision pending his next court appearance, according to the court docket.

According to the federal complaint, Abdul-Jabbaar tried to purchase a firearm over Facebook, telling the seller that he was “going to Ferguson,” apparently

to seek revenge on Wilson, the officer who fatally shot an 18-year-old unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, in August.

After a series of escalating declarations of outrage and threats over the Brown shooting, Abdul-Jabbaar is alleged to have posted the following on his Facebook page Nov. 11: “Are there any REAL BLACK MEN that would love to go down to Ferguson Missouri to give back those bullets that Police Officer (D.W.) fired into the body of Mike Brown. If we’re unable to locate Officer (D.W.) then we’ll return them to his wife and if not her then his children.”

Five days after the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown, the complaint alleges, AbdulJabbaar complained on his Facebook page that officials had not yet identified the officer involved. When they do, he wrote, “Then we can find where the cop’s child goes to school.”

What is…

One-on-One Care

for Foot & Ankle Conditions:

Heel Pain?

Plantar fasciitis (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tis), the most common cause of heel pain, is a localized inflammation of the plantar fascia. Patients with plantar fasciitis describe an ache localized to the inside part of the heel. The typical clinical presentation is pain after rest, most notably occuring with the first few steps in the morning and toward the end of the day, especially after lots of walking or standing. For a treatment plan that is right for you, call us for an appointment.

PHOENIX, Ore. — Brian McMillan opened an industrial-size chest freezer revealing hunks of meat piled inside.

“That will last a couple of days,” said his wife, Vikki.

A rare white lion and six tawny lionesses in the couple’s care at Walking with Lions sanctuary on the outskirts of Phoenix together gobble up 50 to 60 pounds of beef, horse and poultry each day.

Vikki shops for post-holiday frozen turkeys on sale at Walmart. Local ranchers and farmers donate dead cows and lame horses, old dairy cows and other animals that have to be put down. The McMillans pay for the butchering.

The cost of caring for the lions — including insurance and heating a special barn where they sleep at night — is $3,000 a month, said Brian, an animal behaviorist who has been training and caring for lions for decades.

To help finance their care, the couple has opened a cottage with two bedrooms on the property as quarters for paying guests. They hope the unique cottage innplus-lions setup will draw in animal lovers coming to the Rogue Valley for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, wineries and other attractions.

“We hope we can make enough to sustain the care of the animals. This is the test this year,” said Vikki, noting she and her husband hosted a few guests last fall, largely to gather feedback.

The couple previously operated a business in Los Angeles, providing lions for the filming of commercials and movies. Their lions have appeared in everything from a Rembrandt toothpaste commercial to the 2003 movie “Secondhand Lions.”

Brian said a lion could bring in $2,500 per day for filming, while the rare white

lion could fetch $10,000 per day. These days, lions are being replaced by computer-generated special effects in filming.

Entranced by television and electronic gadgets, people also seem less willing to go to live lion shows, he said.

“It’s a fading industry.

We’re probably the last generation to do this,” Brian said.

Seeking a new lifestyle, the couple relocated to Houston Road, just outside Phoenix’s city limits, to open the 42-acre sanctuary on rural land with views of surrounding mountains.

Eventually they hope to bring in other exotic animals, including giraffes and zebras.

“We’ve made a commitment to these cats. We’ll take care of them forever,” Vikki said.

For now, lions in their pens share the property with a friendly German shepherd mix and a large black Newfoundland. The Newfie — a giant among dogs — is dwarfed by the lions.

a pale but not truly white color. He is not an albino.

He lives in an enclosure by himself, although he sometimes gets to visit the six females under Brian’s supervision.

Lufuno can’t be neutered because his majestic mane would fall out with the loss of testosterone, Brian said.

The six females — weighing from 350 to 400 pounds — are spayed so they can’t reproduce. The McMillans said they rescued them as cubs, mainly from roadside attractions that overbred lions for profit. All the lions

CAMANO ISLAND — Police are investigating an attempted luring reported Friday on Camano Island.

A 13-year-old boy was waiting at the bus stop when a driver stopped and asked if he needed a ride to school, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident happened

about 6:45 a.m. in the area of E. Camano Drive and E. Vanasse Avenue. The boy told police about the incident when he got to school, Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said Tuesday.

The suspect was described as a heavyset man in a dark Dodge Neon or similar vehicle that was heavily dented.

Anyone with information should call 911.

still have their claws and teeth, Brian said.

When he approaches Lufuno’s enclosure, the nearly chest-high lion paces back and forth, rubbing his cheeks against the fence like a house cat.

Brian said lions do have some of the same behaviors as domestic cats.

“But these guys are much more self-assured and confident. They’re high on the food chain. There’s very little in the wild that can mess with them,” he said.

Like pets, the lions enjoy leaning against people. But because they weigh hundreds of pounds, Vikki has to brace herself to avoid being toppled, she said.

As Brian gets closer to Lufuno, the lion “sounds off,” emitting low sounds in greeting.

“He looks at Brian as part of the pride,” Vikki said.

The lions are also hopeful he will bring them bottles of milk, Brian said. The adult animals continue to drink milk, in addition to eating meat.

“First they have the milk — and then they have the cow,” Vikki said.

The lionesses are divided, with two less intelligent females affectionately nicknamed “The Donkeys” in one enclosure and four smarter females called “The Wild Bunch” in another.

The less intelligent females would be picked on if kept with the other females. All lion prides have a hierarchy and pecking order, Vikki noted.

Normally asleep for most of the day, “The Wild Bunch” females pace the fence line of their enclosure when strangers appear. While one has a staring contest with a visitor outside the fence and then lunges when the man turns his head for a second, another lion creeps forward on her belly like a cat planning to ambush a bird.

Guests who stay at the cottage can have a “lion encounter,” which includes feeding the lions through the fencing with a bottle.

“Their personalities range from lazy and stubborn to comedic and fun-loving.

Some are more serious.

Some are more friendly,” Brian said. “They’re like people.”

Her children were her life and the love she shared with them spread out to her friends and the friends of her children. Many people loved Dorothy. She opened her home to others whether it was a picnic, wedding or a place to stay for the night.

She enjoyed inviting relatives and friends over for dinner, and playing games such as Pinochle.

In her spare time, she enjoyed ceramics, knitting, a n d n e e d l ewo r k . P u z z l e s were always her pass time even to the end of her life.

S h e l ov e d t h e Ly n nw o o d Church of the Nazarene in w h i c h s h e wa s a c h a r te r member and served faithfully most of her life.

Paul Henr y Crain passed away on Januar y 7, 2015 after a good life and a tough fight with cancer.

Born in Auburn, Wash. in 1944, Paul was a strong, kind-hearted man and a born l e a d e r a n d p rote c to r. H e served in the Vietnam War and worked in the aviation industry for many years. He was one of the Boeing “Incredibles” who worked on the very first 747 all the way through to the 1,000th, in addition to numerous other aircraft. He also worked at Ro c k we l l a n d o n t h e B - 2 Spirit Stealth Bomber for Northrop during his career.

Although he took great pride in his work, Paul’s greatest source of pride and joy was his girls: wife, Melodie, who was the love of his life and could always make him s m i l e , d a u g h te r, M o r g a n , whom he loved and admired for her strength of spirit, and d a u g h te r, Z e l d a , w h o h e cherished sharing his passion for all things mechanical. When not enjoying time with friends and family, Paul was happiest in his shop, building his numerous ‘32 Fords and restoring antique slot and pinball machines.

The care and craftsmanship he put into these was clear to anyone who had the pleasure of visiting him while he worked on a project. So, the next time you see a hot rod drive by, a lovingly restored arcade game light up or an airplane fly overhead, think of Paul Crain, a man well-loved and a life well-lived.

Donations in Paul’s name can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project or the American Cancer Society.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.

Militants claim pilot executed Jordan retaliates; puts two al-Qaida prisoners to death McClatchy Foreign Staff

WASHINGTON — Newly empowered congressional Republicans challenged President Barack Obama at both ends of the Capitol on Tuesday, voting in the House to repeal the health care program he signed into law but faltering in an initial Senate attempt to roll back immigration policies he issued on his own.

There was a third challenge as well, as Republican leaders announced the House would give final approval next week to legislation clearing the way for construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. That would trigger Obama’s threatened veto, the first in a new era of divided government.

The skirmishes all seemed likely to end in eventual defeat for Republicans, but served as a potent reminder of their power after Obama challenged them bluntly last month with his State of the Union address and a no-balance budget Monday calling for higher taxes and new spending. The GOP won control of the Senate last fall, and has its largest House majority in nearly 70 years.

Federal health regulators Tuesday approved a highly anticipated medicine from Pfizer Inc. to treat postmenopausal women with a certain type of advanced breast cancer who have not already taken other drugs. The Food and Drug Administration approved Ibrance for women who have tumors that do not contain a protein known as HER-2 and have receptors for the hormone estrogen. Ibrance is known generically as palbociclib. Pharmaceutical industry analysts expect Ibrance to grow into a mega-blockbuster, with annual sales as high as $4 billion by 2020.

Colo.: Selfies tied to crash

Anwar al-Tarawneh, wife of the pilot, al-Kaseasbeh, weeps during a protest in Amman on Tuesday.

Supporters and family members of Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh express their anger Tuesday at the tribal gathering chamber in Amman, Jordan, after reports of his death at the hands of the Islamic State group.

to enhance its efforts to recruit sympathizers.

Jordan state television said Tuesday night that Jordanian authorities believe al-Kaseasbeh’s killing was filmed nearly a month ago, and that was why the Islamic State refused to provide proof that al-Kaseasbeh was still alive during recent negotiations. That belief was consistent with tweets from rebel activists opposed to the Syrian government who posted on Jan. 8 that the pilot had been executed.

Jordan’s King Abdullah and Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh were in Washington meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry just moments before the video was made public. There was no hint that any of the men knew of the death as they exchanged pleasantries during a signing ceremony marking increased U.S. assistance — from $660 million to $1 billion — to help Jordan cope with the

Syrian refugee crisis and rising energy costs.

Immediately after the ceremony, however, the video hit the Internet, and statements of condemnation and condolences began flowing from the Obama administration to Jordan. President Barack Obama called it “one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization.”

Al-Kaseasbeh’s execution is likely to raise tensions in Jordan, where his family had demanded the government engage in negotiations for his release in a series of demands and counter demands that included a $200 million ransom for two Japanese hostages who’ve since been executed, and a demand for the release of al-Rishawi, who’d been on Jordan’s death row for her part in a series of bombings that killed at least 57 people in Amman.

The fate of al-Kaseasbeh, whose plane crashed during a

bombing0 run over Syria in late December, had come to the fore only two weeks ago when one of the Japanese hostages, freelance journalist Kenji Goto, warned in an audio statement from the Islamic State that alKaseasbeh would be killed if the Jordanians didn’t released al-Rishawi for Goto.

Jordan expressed willingness to swap al-Rishawi for al-Kaseasbeh if evidence the pilot was alive was provided, but the Islamic State counteroffer was that al-Rishawi be delivered last Thursday to an Islamic State-controlled border crossing with Turkey or both Goto and al-Kaseasbeh would die.

Jordan continued to press for negotiations through tribal channels and public statements, but on Saturday, a video of Goto being killed was posted on jihadist websites.

Al-Kaseasbeh’s fate was unknown until the release of the video Tuesday.

GOP challenges Obama on all fronts

By David Espo and Alan Fram

Bill addressing vets’ suicides approved WASHINGTON — A bill aimed at reducing a suicide epidemic among military veterans is on its way to the president for his signature. The Senate unanimously approved the bill Tuesday that comes in response to suicides that on average claim the lives of 22 military veterans every day.

The House passed the bill last month.

The White House said President Barack Obama will sign it.

The measure would require the Pentagon and Veterans Affairs Department to submit to independent reviews of their suicide prevention programs and offers financial incentives to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals who agree to work for the VA.

By Mitchell Prothero IRBIL, Iraq — Jordan executed two prisoners early Wednesday morning to avenge the burning alive of a Jordanian fighter pilot in a move that seemed likely to thrust the usually peaceful country into the front lines of the battle against the Islamic State.

Jordanian state television said one of the executed prisoners was Sajida al-Rishawi, the 44-year-old Iraqi woman whose release the Islamic State had demanded in return for the life of a Japanese hostage killed last week. The other was Ziad al-Karbouli, a jihadist who once worked with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of alQaida in Iraq, the organization that was the precursor to the Islamic State.

Government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said in Amman that two prisoners had been executed at dawn.

Jordan had announced that it would move quickly to avenge the murder of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh whose horrific execution was made public Tuesday by an Islamic State video that showed him being led to a cage in the desert, doused with gasoline and set alight. Al-Kaseasbeh is seen standing stoically, until his body crumbles into a heap.

“While the military forces mourn the martyr, they emphasize his blood will not be shed in vain. Our punishment and revenge will be as huge as the loss of the Jordanians,” Mamdouh al-Ameri, a government spokesman, said in a statement read on Jordanian TV. What other steps the Jordanian government might take were uncertain, but officials suggested that they would move rapidly to crack down on the group’s sympathizers and that other measures were likely, including stepping up the country’s role in the U.S.led military coalition against the Islamic State.

Several experts said that by burning the Jordanian pilot to death, the Islamic State was demonstrating a new level of barbarity intended to convey several messages — a more open hostility to the Jordanians, who in addition to participating in air raids on Islamic State targets in Syria have also encouraged antiIslamic State activists to travel to Syria to fight; to reinforce its reputation as the globe’s most barbaric terrorist group; and

ACROSS THE U.S.

They’re baying at the moon, something that is not going to work.

— Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Democrats were defiant.

“They’re baying at the moon, something that is not going to work,” said the party’s leader in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, referring to Republicans as the health care vote neared.

The vote was 239-186 to repeal the health care law known as Obamacare. Similar votes have been held more than 50 times in the four years, but the day gave newcomers to Congress their first opportunity to vote to uproot the health care law they campaigned against last fall.

The day’s vote was marked by a second difference.

The bill included instructions to key committees to begin work on a replacement that the party promised in the 2010 political campaign.

Officials described that as a measure of preparation in case the Supreme Court overturns a key portion of the existing

program in a ruling expected this June.

Three Republicans opposed repeal of the program.

Across the Capitol, Democrats blocked debate on legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security and simultaneously overturn presidential executive orders that have spared an estimated four million immigrants in the country illegally from the threat of deportation. The vote was 51-48, nine shy of the 60 needed to begin work on the measure.

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said his rank and file would continue to block action on the measure until Republicans agree to strip out the immigration provisions.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said that by issuing his immigration policy by executive order, Obama had committed a

“power grab” that exceeded his authority as president.

“So I’m calling on Democrats to vote with us now to fund the Department of Homeland Security. I’m calling on Democrats to join us and stand up for core democratic principles like the rule of law and separation of powers,” he said.

It was an offer they refused, unanimously. A total of 51 Republicans voted to advance the bill, while all 44 Democrats, two independents and two Republicans were opposed.

The two GOP opponents included Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada, and McConnell, whose vote will permit him to call for a revote in the future.

The Department of Homeland Security will lose a portion of its funding Feb. 27 unless Congress has acted by then.

The announcement that Congress would soon send Obama legislation to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline meant the House would accept minor changes added by the Senate. Among them is a non-binding statement that climate change is not a hoax.

Democrats say they have enough votes to sustain a veto to the measure.

Selfies were a likely factor in a small plane crash near Denver last year that killed the pilot and his only passenger, according to a new National Transportation Safety Board report. The report, released last week, said recordings from a GoPro camera that had been mounted on the Cessna 150K’s instrument panel show the pilot and other passengers repeatedly taking photographs of themselves with their cellphones, even using the flash, during several previous short flights in the hours leading up to the May 31 crash. Evidence of the pilot’s previous cellphone use that day makes it likely that cellphone use contributed to his disorientation and loss of control.

Armstrong cited in accident Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong hit two parked cars with an SUV after a night of partying in Aspen, Colorado, but agreed to let his girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention, police reports showed. Police cited Armstrong with failing to report an accident and speeding weeks after the Dec. 28 accident, but only after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, acknowledged lying for him. Hansen told police she lost control of Armstrong’s GMC Yukon on icy roads, hitting the cars. Detectives later interviewed her and she eventually told them Armstrong was driving, but the couple had decided to let her take the blame.

AROUND THE WORLD Vatican City: Romero declared Catholic martyr Pope Francis decreed Tuesday that Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero was killed in 1980 out of hatred for his Catholic faith, approving a martyrdom declaration that sets the stage for his beatification. Romero, the archbishop of San Salvador, was gunned down by right-wing death squads March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass in a hospital chapel. A human rights campaigner, Romero had spoken out against repression by the Salvadoran army at the beginning of the country’s 1980-1992 civil war between the right-wing government and leftist rebels, a conflict that killed nearly 75,000 people. The United States backed a series of rightwing governments during the civil war, despite mounting evidence of massacres and human rights violations.

Afghanistan: Fatal crash A shifting of cargo that included heavily armored military vehicles is being examined as a possible factor in the 2013 crash of a Boeing 747-400 in Afghanistan that killed six U.S. crew members, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. Its 86-page report is described as a summary of operational factors in the crash and does not reach conclusions on what caused it. The Dubai-bound plane crashed just after takeoff from Bagram Air Base on April 29, 2013.

Jet delays cost Bombardier Investors are hitting the road amid cost overruns and four postponements of the CSeries, the Canadian company’s biggest-ever jet.

By Frederic Tomesco Bloomberg News

MONTREAL — Pierre Beaudoin often cites “flawless execution” as a pillar of Bombardier Inc.’s strategy. Investors say the chief executive officer isn’t

delivering.

In 6½ years on the job, Beaudoin has presided over delays in two jet programs; the exit of two senior aerospace sales executives in just over a year; missed profit targets and the worst stock performance among Canadian

industrial companies.

“I’ve given up hope,” said Luc Fournier, fund manager at Industrial Alliance Insurance & Financial Services Inc. in Quebec City, who oversees about C$600 million ($474 million) and says he sold the last of his Bombardier shares last month. “I got tired of waiting. Even at this level, I’m not getting back in. There’s a credibility issue.”

Two years of delays and cost overruns on the $4.4 billion

CSeries jet have tainted Bombardier’s reputation for execution, and the company took another hit last month after saying it would miss profit goals and halt development of the Learjet 85 business jet. That sparked concern among analysts the Montreal-based plane maker would need to borrow more to provide liquidity.

Coke? Milk? Meet Fairlife

By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Coke is coming out with premium milk that has more protein and less sugar than regular. And it’s betting people will pay twice as much for it.

The national rollout of Fairlife over the next several weeks marks Coca-Cola’s entry into the milk case in the U.S. and is one way the world’s biggest beverage maker is diversifying its offerings as Americans continue turning away from soft drinks.

It also comes as people increasingly seek out some type of functional boost from their foods and drinks, whether it’s more fiber, antioxidants or protein. That has left the door open for Coke step into the milk category, where the differences between options remain relatively minimal and consumption has been declining for decades.

LYNNWOOD — Sparling electrical engineering and architectural lighting design firm is being acquired through a merger with Stantec, an Edmonton, Canada-based company.

Sparling, and its lighting design division Candela, has 130 employees in three offices in Lynnwood, Portland, Oregon and San Diego. Stantec has 15,000 employees in 250 offices worldwide.

“They’ve admired our firm for a long time,” said Eric Overton, Sparling’s CEO. “I know it sounds ridiculous being 15,000 compared to 130, but they’ve liked a lot of the things that we’ve done.”

Sparling is a leading electrical engineering firm with expertise in niche services including acoustics, lighting and wireless engineering, said Stanis Smith, Stantec’s executive vice president, buildings.

Automakers reported double-digit U.S. sales increases in January, a sign that car sales didn’t spin out even with a major snowstorm hitting the Northeast.

General Motors led the way with an 18 percent gain over last January. Encouraged by low gas prices, buyers snapped up GM’s big SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Toyota’s sales rose 16 percent, and the Japanese automaker reported record January sales of its trucks and SUVs. Ford and Nissan each posted 15 percent gains. Fiat Chrysler’s sales rose 14 percent and Honda’s sales were up 12 percent.

A federal jury in Minneapolis on Tuesday ordered Toyota Motor Corp. to pay nearly $11 million to victims of a fatal Minnesota crash, after ruling that a design flaw in the 1996 Camry was partially to blame for the 2006 wreck.

The jury said the company was 60 percent to blame for the accident, which left three people dead and two seriously injured. But jurors also decided that Koua Fong Lee, who has insisted he tried to slow his car before it hit another vehicle, was 40 percent to blame. Lee’s attorneys insisted the crash was caused by an acceleration defect.

The AAA auto club said the average price of a gallon of gasoline in Washington is $2.14. That’s down 1 cent in a week and 35 cents lower than a month ago. It’s 7 cents higher than the national average.

By Marcy Gordon and Eric Tucker WASHINGTON — Standard & Poor’s is paying about $1.38 billion to settle government allegations that it knowingly inflated its ratings of risky mortgage investments that helped trigger the financial crisis, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

The settlement with the U.S. government, 19 states and the District of Columbia covers ratings issued from 2004 through 2007 by the McGrawHill subsidiary. It resolves a court fight that began with a government lawsuit two years ago and involved dozens of depositions and hundreds of millions of documents Under the agreement, S&P admitted that it issued and confirmed positive ratings despite knowing that those assessments were unjustified and in many cases based on packages of mortgages that it knew were likely to default.

“On more than one occasion, the company’s leadership ignored senior analysts who warned that the company had given top ratings to financial products that were failing to perform as advertised,” Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference Tuesday.

S&P also agreed to retract its earlier allegation that the government had brought the action in retaliation for its downgrade of the United States’ credit rating in 2011, a concession that Holder said

said in a telephone interview. Bombardier has nothing to add to what Beaudoin said in Davos, she said.

Management should scrap the 2.5-cent quarterly dividend “if they want to look serious and make Bombardier appear as an investor-focused company,” said Troy Crandall, a Montreal-based analyst at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. in a telephone interview. “If you’re in a cash crunch, why are you paying a dividend?”

Bombardier paid out $45 million in dividends in the third quarter, bringing payments for the first nine months of 2014 to $137 million. Bombardier has been free cash flow negative for three consecutive years through 2013, not unusual for a company

with big development costs. Through the first nine months of 2014, free cash flow usage was $1.71 billion, Bombardier said Oct. 31.

“It doesn’t make sense to pay a dividend,” said Massimo Bonansinga, a fund manager at CI Investments Inc. in Toronto. “It would send a positive message to the market if they cut the dividend” and did a debt issue.

years-long pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing from the crisis.

McGraw Hill Financial Inc. said in a statement that the settlement contains no findings of violations of law by itself, S&P Financial Services or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.

Half the amount S&P is paying, or $687.5 million, will go to the 19 states and the District of Columbia.

S&P also announced Tuesday that it will pay $125 million in a separate settlement with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to resolve its claims against the company regarding ratings on three structured investment vehicles. The settlement is not subject to judicial approval.

The settlement announced Tuesday came after months of negotiations.

The Justice Department filed civil fraud charges against S&P two years ago this week. It accused the company of failing to warn investors that the housing

market was collapsing in 2006 because doing so would hurt its ratings business.

The Justice Department had demanded $5 billion in penalties from S&P when it sued the company in February 2013. The payment of about $1.38 billion to settle the case is less than S&P’s revenue in 2013 of $2.27 billion.

The three big rating agencies — S&P, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings — have been blamed for helping fuel the 2008 crisis by giving high ratings to high-risk mortgage securities. The high ratings made it possible for banks to sell trillions of dollars’ worth of those securities. Some investors, such as pension funds, can only buy securities that carry high credit ratings.

Those investments soured when the housing market went bust in 2006.

Experts say the Justice Department’s lawsuit against S&P could serve as a template for action against Fitch and Moody’s.

Sue McCloskey, who developed the system used to make Fairlife with her husband, Mike McCloskey, said Fairlife will be marketed more broadly to women who are the “gatekeepers” for their families’ nutritional needs.

Even while touting its nutritional advantages, however, Fairlife will need to be careful about communicating how its drink is made. Jonas Feliciano, senior beverage analyst for market researcher Euromonitor, noted

They’ve run out of excuses.”

While Beaudoin said last month in Davos that Bombardier has enough liquidity to fund work on the CSeries and the Global 7000 and 8000 business jets, not everyone was convinced. Some analysts at firms such as RBC Capital Markets and JPMorgan Chase & Co. said

they expect Bombardier to borrow more money this year, adding to the $7.6 billion of long-term debt it had as of Sept. 30.

In July, Beaudoin broke up the aerospace business into three main units — with Guy Hachey, who was president of Bombardier Aerospace, retiring as part of the reorganization.

Last month Ray Jones, who was leading the charge to market the CSeries, left the company.

“This thing has been burning cash and managers,” said Bonansinga, of CI Investments.

“It doesn’t give you the impression that the program is really on track.

Until the CSeries enters service, I don’t think the market is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.”

people want drinks that “do something for me,” but that Fairlife’s juicedup nutritional stats may make people hesitant about how natural it is.

“They have to explain that this is not an abomination of nature,” Feliciano said.

Already, Fairlife has been subject to some teasing. After the drink was referenced in Coke’s analyst presentation, comedian Stephen Colbert referred to it as “extra expensive science milk” and made fun of the elaborate way it’s made.

“It’s like they got Frankenstein to lactate,” he said.

Colbert also took a dig at the wholesome image Fairlife is trying to project, noting that it’s made by the “nature loving health nuts at Coca-Cola.” That may explain why Coca-Cola is distancing itself from the product; a representative for the Atlanta-based company referred questions to Fairlife’s outside

representative.

In a phone interview, Fairlife CEO and former Coke executive Steve Jones said he thinks his company can help reverse the ongoing decline in milk consumption by offering a superior product. Major retailers including Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger and Safeway have agreed to carry it and Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid team plans to make it available wherever milk is sold.

The drink, which comes in a sleek plastic bottle reminiscent of milk cartons, has already started appearing on shelves and is expected to continue rolling out nationally over the next several weeks.

At a supermarket in Indianapolis, a 52-ounce bottle of Fairlife was being sold for $4.59.

By comparison, the national average cost for a half-gallon of milk, which is 64 ounces, is $2.18, according to the USDA. For organic milk, the average is $3.99.

State must check truck heights owner of the metal shed that was on the truck.

The state in its lawsuit, citing a Washington State Patrol investigation, claims that the truck driver was unaware of the actual height of his load, which was two inches taller than the bridge’s lowest height in the left southbound lane; that he failed to research the route and the needed clearances; that the pilot-car driver was distracted by a cell phone call and didn’t notify the truck driver when her clearance pole struck the bridge; and that the truck was following the pilot car too closely.

The state doesn’t escape some measure of responsibility here, as was noted in a National Transportation Safety Board investigation that faulted the state Department

of Transportation for a voluntary route permit system that leaves it up to carriers to verify that their loads are within a route’s clearance limits.

The state has begun to address that weakness by creating a tool it calls a “vertical clearance trip planner,” a database of bridge and overpass heights that, when used by third parties to create trucking apps, would notify carriers of potential conflicts.

It sounds like a useful tool that trucking companies should take advantage of, but the state’s route permitting system remains a voluntary one that relies too heavily on carriers to use the system correctly, leaving bridges and underpasses vulnerable to human error.

Now that it has that database

■■At the Jan. 13 board meeting, we doubled the time available for public comment in the first slot from 15 to 30 minutes. We did this out of respect for the number of people in the audience. A video of the meeting can be viewed by visiting the school board page at the district website.

■■Every person who signed up to comment and was qualified did speak to the board.

■■Others signed up to speak during the second public comment time slot and each addressed the board.

We welcome the comments of those who touch base with us in the many other ways detailed on the district website. It saddens me that individuals who were not present would use factually incorrect information in a published letter without

inquiring first.

There have been three major times in my life when I took a vow to support and defend a principle I believed in — my oath of military service, my marriage vows and my oath to the office of Everett School Board director. The actions I take as a member of your school board have always been and will continue to be based upon the promises I made in that vow. I have found that all interactions, be they personal or professional, are most successful when everyone involved operates from a position of principled integrity. My hope is that all who promise to live up to a commitment will act with integrity by living up to their promises.

of clearance heights, the state ought to make use of that data, too, requiring that trucks with oversized loads stop at weigh stations early in their route to have their heights measured and checked against the database. It shouldn’t be a great expense to set up height stations that, even when no one is on duty, can check a load’s height and flash a warning if a load is not going to make it under a bridge. It might most quickly be added to the electronic screening equipment now used at 12 locations in the state that allow for trucks’ weight and other information to be checked as they pass under in the right-hand lane, without stopping.

The information is there; the trucking companies and the state just have to use it.

Citizens need accountability

It seems to me that the Snohomish County Council and Everett’s mayoral office should be asking two questions about this problem.

1. Who failed to inform them, who decided not to inform them? 2. How fast can that person(s) clear out their desk(s)?

I know that’s the questions I have for them, and the appropriate elected officials as well.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Courthouse project

Third party should re-examine project

By Ken Klein

I

write this commentary to provide context to the current courthouse debacle.

In the November 2012 budget, the County Council approved a plan to sell bonds to finance a $75 million remodel and four-story expansion of the existing courthouse. The vote was 3-2 to include this proposal in the budget with Councilmember Dave Somers and Councilmember John Koster dissenting. This bond measure was financed by a 3 percent property tax increase.

In February 2013, former Executive Aaron Reardon directed the facilities director to present the council with a plan that would build a new courthouse for $75 million.

The building was to be 160,000 square feet with groundbreaking to begin in April 2014.

When offered a plan for a new building on the existing county campus at the previously approved cost, council logically decided to move forward.

The next five months were full of drama and disarray as Reardon resigned and Executive John Lovick was appointed to the office.

In June of 2013 the facilities director informed the council that the executive’s recommendation was to hire a courthouse management consultant. The cost was $1.6 million, and they were told it would “save money later.”

The council expressed shock at this new information and asked the executive to conduct a full review of the project.

From June to October 2013 the price of the new courthouse jumped from $75 million, to $80 million, to $109 million, to $120 million to $130 million. Each time it was the deputy executive who came before council to explain the increase in costs and advocated for moving forward. The escalation in costs culminated when the deputy executive recommended that the county build the new courthouse across the street and utilize eminent

domain to condemn surrounding properties. The cost of this proposal was originally estimated at $145 million to $155 million. In October 2013 the Council ruled out the location across the street because it was too expensive.

In November the parking lot location proposal was put back on the table and subsequently the council voted to approve the current $162 million proposal (253,000 square feet representing a more than 50 percent increase in size).

Sometime in 2014 the City of Everett became convinced by someone in the executive’s office that a 300-stall parking garage would be included as part of the courthouse project.

Prior to beginning my term as councilmember I was already very concerned about the project. I began to research the project and came to the conclusion that the remodel/expansion project that was initially proposed was never properly vetted. With information often lacking and not forthcoming, I worked

IN OUR VIEW | Preventing another bridge collapse

Two inches. That was the difference between any other day for the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River and its May 23, 2013 collapse, caused when a truck carrying an over-height load struck a crossbeam and brought the bridge down and sent two vehicles carrying three people into the river, fortunately without any loss of life.

What resulted were months of detours for traffic, congestion for the communities of Burlington and Mount Vernon, loss of business and $19.8 million for temporary and permanent replacement of the bridge.

Now the state is seeking to recoup $17 million of that, suing the truck driver and his employer, the pilot-car driver and her employer and the

Editorial Board

for the next seven months to obtain a good faith analysis of the remodel/expansion concept. After the revelation that the Everett parking requirement had the potential to shut down the project, the facilities director finally provided me with an analysis. This analysis showed that the remodel/ expansion plan from November 2012 would cost $146 million to $156 million.

Was the facilities director wrong in his analysis of the remodel/expansion concept in late 2012? Or is his analysis wrong now? I continue to be opposed to the current proposal and urge the council to obtain the services of an independent third party to provide a true estimate of what the cost to remodel/ expand the current building would be so that council can make an informed decision in the best interests of Snohomish County.

Ken Klein, a Republican, is the Snohomish County Councilmember for the 1st District.

Christie, Paul need booster shot of science

F

lashback: Galileo is under house arrest pondering the unyielding ignorance of The Church for refusing to consider his heliocentric proposition that the Earth circled the sun.

We find this historical anecdote preposterous today, but people were persecuted for lesser heresies in Galileo’s time. Though we are now centuries KATHLEEN PARKER removed from such dim-wittery, we find ourselves in a notdissimilar pickle.

After decades free of many crippling and deadly diseases thanks to the miracle of vaccines, some people are skeptical.

Parents fearful of side effects, often on account of anecdotal evidence or discredited studies, are reluctant to vaccinate their children.

Marin County, California, a liberal enclave, seems to be the epicenter of the debate. Some see vaccines as a conspiracy of Big Pharma. Elsewhere, especially in the South, people are simply distrustful of authority, especially government. They tend to be litmus-test conservatives on social issues and place Scripture above science.

The far left and the far right finally have found common ground. They’d rather let their children risk illness — and their country an epidemic — than contaminate their offspring’s pristine bodies with antibodies.

One wonders what public tortures Jonas Salk might have encountered had he presented his polio vaccine today rather than in the 1950s. One crucial difference is that polio left visual reminders of its assault on the human body. The 1952 epidemic affected nearly 58,000 people, more than 3,100 of whom died and some 21,000 were left disabled.

Most Americans under the age of 50, including doctors, have never seen measles. Now, after decades of being a virtually measles-free nation, we have 100 cases spread across at least 14 states and the potential for more as stubborn purists resist common sense. Science and experience overwhelmingly support vaccines, and the single study to the contrary, suggesting a connection to autism, has been thoroughly discredited.

Naturally, into this tar pit, the GOP presidential field has fallen. Asked about the vaccine controversy, both New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul have handed the media a fresh bone to gnaw.

Christie initially said that parents “need to have some measure of choice,” though he later clarified by saying that children should be vaccinated against measles.

Paul told radio host Laura Ingraham, “While I think it’s a good idea to take the vaccine, I think that’s a personal decision for individuals.”

Neither comment standing alone is objectionable. Eventually, most parents come around to this conclusion, despite reluctance to inject their children with a tiny dose of weakened virus. They do it because the alternative is unthinkable.

While parents’ rights should always be protected in the absence of harm to their children, the public health of the nation also has to be protected. Individual rights are justifiably modified when the exercise of those rights adversely affects others.

Preserving individual freedom is one of the compelling forces of modern conservatism and remains its most attractive feature. Thus, Republican candidates are faced with a daunting balancing act of confirming to primary voters their allegiance to the principle while also signaling to the rest of the country that they’re not that foolish.

These conundrums are not new. The conflict between individual rights and the greater good is the fundamental argument in a democracy, the success of which relies upon an educated rather than only radio-informed citizenry, as well as leaders willing to defend science over ideology.

Aspiring presidents would do well to articulate these conflicts with compassion, without condescension or pandering — while explaining why, in this case, vaccines are the right choice. For starters they might quote Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “Study after study has shown that there are no negative long-term consequences.

And the more kids who are not vaccinated, the more they’re at risk and the more they put their neighbors’ kids at risk as well.”

There. That didn’t hurt much, did it?

Children: Family has a history of contact with CPS From Page A1

to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett for treatment. An update on their condition was not available Tuesday afternoon.

Nurses told Thomas that medics at the house had measured the baby’s temperature at 94.1 degrees — hypothermic. He also was dehydrated, he said.

All three children are expected to survive.

Inside the house, holes were knocked in exterior walls and daylight could be seen, documents show.

The building originally was a duplex but there were holes in the drywall between the two units.

“There was no heat. It was 40 something degrees in the house,” Cmdr. Dennis Taylor said.

Detectives served a search warrant at the house on Tuesday to collect evidence. The house also was ordered

they should do so with knowledge of any significant fiscal impacts, he said.

“I believe the initiative process is sacred. I want to strengthen it,” he said.

“What I want to see is voters having the complete picture put in front of them when they have to make an important decision.”

As of Tuesday morning, none of the bill had yet been scheduled for a public hearing. Fain said he isn’t worried, and is tweaking the language of his bills

condemned and unsafe for habitation, said Chad Osterholtz, the city code inspector.

The house had running water and power but there also was extensive water damage and mold. The

floor was covered in feces and urine, according to police. The smoke alarms were disabled, wires were exposed and light fixtures uncovered.

“It was just disgusting,” Osterholtz said.

Raw sewage was spilling from a camper parked outside. One of the children’s grandmothers was living in the camper, according to public records. Another grandmother owns the house.

Neither woman cooperated with police.

The family has a history of contact with CPS, Thomas said. The 7-yearold’s school recently had called social workers after the girl missed a week of school, he said. The girl had extensive absences, and the school previously had talked to CPS about concerns regarding her health and appearance, Taylor said. It is unclear when those reports were made to social workers.

The Herald is not yet naming the parents because they have not been charged with a crime.

They are due to make a first court appearance Wednesday in connection with the allegations that led to their arrests.

Both suspects are convicted felons. The man was sentenced in 2002 to eight years in prison for a shooting in Arlington. He shot a man in the arm and buttocks during

in ways he hopes will win support.

Initiative entrepreneur Tim Eyman of Mukilteo blasted Fain, saying his efforts are aimed at silencing the citizenry.

“Sen. Fain seems to have developed a bizarre obsession with throwing monkey wrenches into the citizens’ initiative process this session,” Eyman wrote in an email. “He’s floundering around, throwing stupid idea after stupid idea at the wall and hoping something will stick.”

Eyman said the constitutional amendment as originally drafted would keep many initiatives from reaching a ballot. And he

said the other bill would unfairly influence voters who can find all the same information in fiscal impact statements in the voter pamphlet.

“Ballot titles are legally required to not create bias for or against the initiative and must be impartial and non-argumentative,” he said. “This joke of a bill violates this neutrality law by purposely injecting obvious bias.”

Proposals for initiative reforms seemingly surface in every legislative session without much success.

This year could turn out differently because of the number of lawmakers in both parties who

don’t believe voters fully understood the amount of money required to ensure there are fewer students in classrooms.

“When you have an astronomical budget-buster as 1351 was it gets everybody focused on what other information do we need to make sure voters have when they make their decision,” said Jason Mercier, director of the Center for Government Reform of the Washington Policy Center.

He said SB 5715 won’t change the initiative process but ensures the dollars and cents is right up front where voters will see it before filling in the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ bubble.

“The experience today will be the experience tomorrow,” he said.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, isn’t sold on the need for such change.

That’s important because he’s chairman of the House State Government Committee where initiative reforms such as Fain’s bills would land if they clear the Senate.

“I don’t want to cripple the initiative process to where everyone looks at an initiative and says this has a cost, we’re not going to do it,” he said.

Hunt said he worked on the successful initiative to repeal sales tax on food and wonders how voters might have acted had the proposed changes been in place then.

Fain said he knows there’s opposition to tinkering with a process created by the state’s founders. He

a confrontation. He had already racked up six felony convictions as a juvenile.

The woman graduated from drug court in 2009.

Three years later she was convicted of stealing a Ford Explorer.

Thomas, who has been with the police department for nine years, called the conditions of the house “horrific.”

“It’s the worst house I’d ever been in with children living in it, by far the worst,” he said.

The older children appeared to be living in a back room, with crayon scrawled on the walls around them, Osterholtz said. They appeared to be sharing a couch and cushions for sleeping and did not have beds.

“You could just tell those kids raised themselves in there,” Osterholtz said. “It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”

Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.

said his efforts are simply to make sure it is working as intended and voters know what they are legislating, and he’s not convinced the majority did when they passed I-1351.

“There is a concept out there of getting something for nothing,” he said. “It’s a concept that doesn’t work in business, it doesn’t work in our personal life and it doesn’t work in government.

“At the end of the day if (the opponents’) argument is the public should pass initiatives with multibillion-dollar liabilities and not have any way to pay for them, that’s a position I disagree with,” he said.

Happy Birthday: Keep emotions under control and do what has to be done if you want to get ahead this year. Personal and financial adjustments will bring good results as long as you follow through. Making noise without taking action will cost you.

Your numbers are 4, 9, 14, 22, 27, 31, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Energy is up, and romance is highlighted. Do your best to get your responsibilities out of the way so you can enjoy the rest of your day. Don’t slow down because someone disagrees with you. ����� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Unexpected problems will develop. Refuse to give in to someone trying to force you to make a decision. You have to feel confident about your plans before moving forward. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your curiosity will result in an extraordinary conversation with someone quite different from you.

Find out as much as you can, but don’t believe everything you hear. ���� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Give your very best no matter what everyone around you does. Someone will recognize your contribution and suggest a partnership.

Negotiate a deal that keeps whatever arrangement you come up with equal. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consider how you should move forward and whether a difficult relationship is worth the trouble. An honest assessment and serious talk will help you change the dynamics or help you move on. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be faced with demands if you let someone manipu-

late you. A relationship with someone you thought you could trust will be costly. A practical approach to the way you move forward will be needed to protect against heartache. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop procrastinating and worrying and have a little fun.

You can turn an ordinary day into one of love, romance, creativity and getting down to business if you avoid disputes with pushy people. ���� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Surround yourself with good friends who will help you reach your goals instead of criticizing everything you do. Be brave and follow your intuition and your heart, not someone trying to lead you astray. �� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be inclined to brag, and with good reason, but do so knowing that someone will try to make you look bad. If you have a secret, keep it to yourself until sharing information is more appropriate. ����� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your timing will be accurate, allowing you to put your plans in motion. A tempting investment will develop, but before you agree, make sure it’s the right fit for you. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The more you do to improve an important arrangement, the better. Share ideas and make plans to move forward. This is a day for change and positive action. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Learn from those with more experience than you, and you will find a way to get ahead. Offering a helping hand will instill the know-how necessary to develop a style that will separate you from the competition. ��� Universal Uclick

Somber mood as Seahawks begin recovery Players pack up for offseason still looking for answers, promising to move on from stunning Super Bowl loss

R

ENTON — At some point, the Seattle Seahawks hope to look back on their Super Bowl XLIX loss as a moment that made them better, that made them stronger, that propelled them to future success.

For most players, however, that

JOHN BOYLE

day hasn’t come just yet.

On Tuesday, the pain of Sunday’s 28-24 Super Bowl loss to New England was still too fresh. Two days after their season finished just one yard short of a repeat championship, players were back at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center to

pack up their belongs and have one final team meeting with head coach Pete Carroll.

There was an understandably somber mood in the locker room as players packed up their gear, and many declined to talk to the media or had little to say when they

did.

“I don’t know, guys, I don’t really have too many answers,” tight end Luke Willson said after attempting to answer a few questions. “I’m sorry. It is what it is.”

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY

UW recruit Browning has ‘uncanny feel for the game’ 4-star QB set national high school record with 91 touchdown passes in 2014.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

has told him he will start his final three years of college.

“It’s perfectly laid out,” Pettit said. “I’m learning from a great guy in Brent Zuzo. We can help each other out while kicking.

Redshirting, I still get to travel with the team and then getting three years to start is pretty phenomenal.”

Pettit is ranked eighth nationally by Chris Sailer, one of the most respected high-school kicking experts in the country, but the recruiting process for a kicker is far different than that of a skill-position player.

In the second game of his varsity career, Folsom High School’s sophomore quarterback dropped back to pass, scanned the field and decided the shallow crossing route, four or five yards beyond the line of scrimmage, was not open.

He scanned some more, moved out of the pocket, and eventually threw the ball out of bounds.

This did not appear to be the correct decision. So when Jake Browning got to the sideline, his co-coach, Troy Taylor, the former California quarterback, wanted to know why Browning didn’t hit his No. 1 option in the progression. That was the shallow cross. Taylor thought it was open.

“He went into this really long description,” Taylor said. “He told me, ‘I thought the shallow cross was going to be open, but the umpire was in the way and I had to avoid him,’ and by the time he avoided him there was another defender waiting for him.”

Yeah, sure, kid.

“I knew what I saw on the sidelines,” Taylor said, “and I thought, ‘this kid’s full of crap.’”

Until later that night, when Taylor, as he always does, sat down to review the game film.

There was the shallow cross … and there was the umpire … and there was the defender.

“It was like when he was describing it,” Taylor said. “It was like he had a photographic memory. Every detail he explained was exactly how it occurred. I was kind of blown away, because it’s very, very hard to see the game that slowly.”

(In the same breath, Taylor recalls hearing David Cutcliffe, Duke’s head coach, tell a similar story about a quarterback he worked with as a youngster. His name was Eli Manning.)

Glacier Peak’s Spencer Pettit, a nationally ranked kicker, will attend the University of Nevada next season as a preferred walk-on.

Committed to the Wolf Pack Glacier Peak kicker Spencer Pettit will attend Nevada as a preferred walk-on

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — On Sunday, most of the Pacific Northwest was focused on the Seattle Seahawks battling the New England Patriots in pursuit of a second consecutive Super Bowl championship.

Glacier Peak senior Spencer Pettit, who is one of the highest ranked high-school football kickers in the country, was watching the game too, but he was also mulling perhaps the biggest decision of his life — where he would play football and get his education in college.

A recruiting process that

started with a visit from Washington State University when Pettit was just a sophomore, concluded with a visit to WSU this past weekend. In between, Pettit was heavily recruited by seven schools and talked to numerous others.

One of those schools, the University of Nevada, has found itself a new kicker.

Pettit will become a member of the Wolf Pack later this year, joining the team as a preferred walk-on.

“The Wazzu visit was nice, obviously the facilities are nice and the coaching staff is amazing, but when I was at Nevada it

“It’s a brotherhood similar to high school, which I really liked.”

According to Pettit, he will redshirt as a freshman and spend his second year behind Nevada’s current kicker Brent Zuzo. If he performs well, the coaching staff

STANWOOD — Senior night for the Stanwood basketball team quickly turned into a showcase for two of the Spartans’ seniors.

Karsten Chaplik scored 27 points and fellow senior Skout Roberson added 24 points and eight rebounds as Stanwood defeated rival Arlington 87-73 Tuesday night in a Wesco 3A North contest at Stanwood High School.

Taurasi to skip WNBA season Associated Press PHOENIX — Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi will sit out the 2015 WNBA season after receiving a lucrative offer from her Russian club team to rest this summer.

Taurasi led the Mercury to their third WNBA title in 2014, earning finals MVP honors before returning to Russia, where she’s played the past several offseasons.

Taurasi sent a letter to Mercury fans saying it was a difficult decision, but that the toll of playing year-round and the financial opportunity from UMMC Ekaterinburg in Russia led her to take the 2015 WNBA season off.

She plans to return to the WNBA in 2016.

A seven-time WNBA All-Star, Taurasi is the league’s second all-time leading scorer and a twotime finals MVP. She also was league MVP in 2009.

SPOKANE — The Everett Silvertips’ Spokane Arena curse is officially done and dusted.

Everett won its third straight game in Spokane as the Silvertips defeated the Chiefs 3-2 Tuesday night.

Everett had gone four full years without winning in Spokane, losing 18 straight before finally ending its drought last March 12. But the Tips haven’t lost a road game to the Chiefs since.

Remi Laurencelle had a goal and an assist and Nikita Scherbak had two assists for Everett (32-15-3-1), which increased its lead atop the U.S. Division to three points over Portland. Brayden Low and Ivan Nikolishin scored the other goals for the Tips, while Austin Lotz picked up the win in goal with 19 saves.

Keanu Yamamoto and Dominic Zwerger scored for Spokane (24-22-3-1), which gave the Tips everything they could handle despite being severely depleted — the beat-up Chiefs had nine players scratched and

played two skaters short. Garret Hughson made 16 saves in net for Spokane, which lost for the eighth time in its past 19 outings.

An eventful first period saw the teams combine to score four goals on just eight shots on net.

Spokane opened the scoring on the power play 5 minutes, 7 seconds into the game. Markson Bechtold walked out front and Yamamoto banged the puck in to give the Chiefs an early 1-0 lead.

Everett responded with two goals in just over two minutes to go ahead 2-1. Nikolishin had a centering pass deflect off the defense and past Hughson at 8:00. Then at 10:19 Laurencelle found Low alone in front, the Low put a backhander past Hughson to give the Tips the lead.

The Tips had a chance to extend their lead as they received a power play immediately afterward, but Everett couldn’t convert, and Spokane scored just four seconds after the penalty expired. Zwerger outmuscled Noah Juulsen for

the puck and scored past Lotz to tie it at 2-2.

Everett regained the lead 11:27 into the second period.

Nikita Scherbak fed Laurencelle on the rush and Laurencelle sniped the top corner to make it 3-2.

The Tips then had to hang on in the third as Spokane charged hard. Riley Whittingham had a free look at goal, but Lotz came up with the save. Then Everett defenseman Cole MacDonald kicked a puck away as it fluttered over Lotz and toward the net. Finally, the Tips killed off a late Spokane power play to survive.

Huskies’ defense continues to be a work in progress

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

EUGENE, Ore. — Their postseason aspirations, the Washington Huskies insist, are still alive.

They just have to figure out how to play defense. Again.

“We just have to right now, immediately, keep guys in front of us,” UW coach Lorenzo Romar said. “We don’t have much margin for error once a guy gets by us and gets in the paint. So we have to do a better job of doing that. If we can do that and continue to start to shoot these higher percentages, then yeah, we definitely can reach our goals.”

The immediate objective, of course, is simply to beat the Oregon Ducks on Wednesday night at Matthew Knight Arena (6 p.m., ESPN2), where the Huskies have posted an 0-4 record since the state-of-the-art building opened in 2010-11.

And Washington (14-7, 3-6 in Pac-12) badly needs this one after losing, at home, to both Stanford and California last week.

Those defeats came on the heels of Romar’s dismissal of 7-foot center Robert Upshaw, the top shot-blocker in the country and a more effective defensive deterrent than any the Huskies have ever had.

Now that he’s gone, the Huskies have precious little rim protection — a knee injury to 6-foot-10 forward Jernard Jarreau hasn’t helped, either — meaning man-to-man breakdowns more often result in easy layups or fouls. There were plenty of both last week against California, which shot 60 percent from the field and escaped Seattle with a 90-88 victory.

The Huskies can’t hope

California’s Jabari Bird drives to the basket as Washington’ Shawn Kemp Jr. defends in last Sunday’s game.

for another player to attempt to mimic Upshaw’s defensive presence. That isn’t going to happen. Instead, they’re fielding quicker lineups — sometimes playing five guards together — and trying to press and trap to force turnovers and fuel their transition game.

That attacking mindset helped UW force 14 turnovers against Cal, and the Huskies scored 19 points off those takeaways. But they too often sacrificed proper defensive position in an attempt to take the ball away, and wound up

allowing easy buckets as a result.

“If you have the leading shotblocker in the country,” UW guard Andrew Andrews said, “it’s still a big deal, but it’s not that big of a deal, if a guy gets a step on you. Because you’re able to kind of be on his hip and send him to Rob to block a shot or affect his shot. Now that we don’t have that, Romar’s really emphasizing squaring people up and making sure they can’t drive. Making sure they shoot over a hand. We’ve just got to do a better job of doing that.”

Sherman to wait on surgery decision until after son is born Herald news services RENTON — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will wait until after the birth of his son to make a decision on how to move forward with his injured left elbow, according to coach Pete Carroll.

On his radio show on the team’s flagship station Tuesday morning, Carroll said he may have been misled on what type of surgery Sherman might need to repair the ligament damage in his elbow suffered in the NFC championship game.

Carroll said a day earlier, before the Seahawks left Arizona following their 28-24 loss to New England in the Super Bowl, that Tommy John surgery was likely for the All-Pro cornerback.

Sherman was not in the Seahawks locker room as

players cleaned out their lockers Tuesday.

Falcons’ owner embarrassed FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he was “embarrassed and angered” when he found out in November that the franchise was being investigated by the league office for piping in crowd noise to the Georgia Dome over the past two seasons.

The investigation has been completed and the team is just waiting for league to respond with possible sanctions, which could include a fine or possibly a draft pick.

Madden video game predicts Super Bowl score Less than two weeks ago, a handful of staffers gathered in a room at the EA Sports studios

in Orlando, Fla., and watched a full-length simulation of the Madden NFL video game, Super Bowl game.

In the Madden NFL 15 game, the New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, with a dramatic fourthquarter comeback.

The computer simulation had the Seahawks blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead.

It also correctly predicted that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady would throw four touchdown passes and be chosen the game’s most valuable player.

And that the game-winning touchdown catch would be made by Julian Edelman.

Indeed, the simulation was only 27 yards off Brady’s total in passing yardage, and three yards off Edelman’s number in receiving yards.

Boyle From Page C1

It’s hard to blame anyone for not yet wanting to relive what happened in Arizona two days earlier, when the Seahawks could have been the first team in a decade to repeat as champions if they only could have gained one more yard, or if a defense that had been so dominant in the second half of the season could have only protected a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.

“Sunday was devastating, but we’re a close team and we’ll stick together and get through this, and we’ll come back stronger,” tight end Tony Moeaki said.

“Everyone’s going to feel this for a little bit.”

Punter Jon Ryan summed up the mood saying, “Obviously right now it’s a lot of questions, frustration, sadness, anger ...

That’s part of the process.”

Next in the process is taking some time away to get right, both physically and emotionally. As much as the Seahawks treat every game the same in preparation, nobody will deny that this loss, both because of the stakes and how the game ended, hurts in a different way.

“It’s a football game, but it’s bigger than that,” Carroll said Tuesday on 710 ESPN Seattle.

“It’s way more than that. ... We just faced something that is as unique of a slap in the face as you could ever get.”

For Carroll, the pain of the loss, “hit me like a ton of bricks today, it took days for me to get to that point today where I would let that feeling wash over me. It’s about resiliency. You have to face these kinds of difficult times to be as strong as you can possibly get.”

Building strength from this difficult loss will be vital for the Seahawks going forward, but for now they are still healing. That the difference between the scene we saw in Seattle’s locker room Tuesday and last year’s parade with hundreds of thousands of fans can be one play, one yard, one gambling rookie cornerback, is an example both of what makes sports so thrilling and also so heart-wrenching.

One more yard and the Seahawks are trying to deal with a different challenge this offseason, handling all the distractions that would come with another title. Instead the challenge is recovering from heartbreak.

What the recovery process doesn’t include for the Seahawks, however, is secondguessing the fateful interception that decided the game. Carroll again backed up the call on his radio show, and quarterback Russell Wilson, who said he has re-watched the game film 12 times, said, “I had no doubt. I had no doubt in the play call. I still don’t to this day. I just wish we had made the play.”

“It looked wide open — open enough, I shouldn’t say wide open — but it looked open enough to get it in there and make the play,” Wilson said. “I thought we were going to. When I threw it, I was like, ‘touchdown, second Super Bowl ring, here we go.’ And it didn’t happen ... (Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler) made a phenomenal play. Great instinct play by him.”

And because of that great play by Butler, the Seahawks are recovering instead of celebrating.

Eventually the Seahawks hope to be better for this experience, but for now they’re just trying to get over it.

“You take your mind off it, you do things don’t remind you of it,” said receiver Doug Baldwin, who noted he hadn’t slept yet since the game. “You spend time with your family, you take a vacation. I know I’m going to sit in my house and play video games and watch movies all day. You find healthy ways to cope with it.

“We’ll be fine, we’ll be OK. ...

Obviously right now it’s still fresh in our minds. Being on the 1-yard line with a chance to win the game and it coming out the way it did, it’s going to hurt for a long time.”

Somewhere down the road, this Super Bowl heartbreak can turn into a positive for the Seahawks, just like their playoff loss in Atlanta helped motivate the eventual championshipwinning team in 2013. That day, however, isn’t here yet for a team still trying to recover from a season that finished one yard short of history.

T-Birds beat Mavericks, breaking 4th-place tie

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Both Shorewood and Meadowdale entered Tuesday’s boys basketball game tied for fourth in the Wesco 3A/2A South, but with the opportunity to finish to earn as high as a second seed in the upcoming district tournament before the regular season concludes on Feb. 10.

The Thunderbirds seized the opportunity, nearly leading wire-to-wire in a 53-39 win over Meadowdale. Shorewood still trails league-leading Glacier Peak, Shorecrest and Edmonds-Woodway in the standings, but as a 2A school the Scots compete in a different district tournament and the Warriors, who lead the Thunderbirds by one game, close the regular season with games against the Grizzlies and the Scots. If the Warriors lose both games and Shorewood beats Mountlake Terrace next Tuesday, the Thunderbirds will be the No. 2 seed in the district tournament.

Shorewood junior forward Ian Kirk got his team going offensively, scoring 15 points in the first half, including nine in the second quarter. Meadowdale took an early 2-0 lead, but Kirk responded with six straight points to give the Thunderbirds a lead they would never give up.

Kirk’s second basket of the

Spartans From Page C1

Chaplik, Roberson and Derek Ross are the only three seniors on the Stanwood squad. All three started and scored in a first quarter that saw the two teams combine for 44 points.

The offenses stagnated a bit in the second quarter, with the Spartans outscoring Arlington 14-6 in the period, but ignited again after halftime.

“I think that’s kind of what both teams are,” Ward said. “Both teams have some really skilled offensive players and I think both shot at a high percentage. Shots kept going in. I don’t know if it was necessarily bad defense — some of them were really contested.”

Stanwood (8-0 league, 14-4 overall) led the entire second half, with Arlington closing the gap to four midway through the final quarter.

But Chaplik responded with four of his nine fourth-quarter points to help the Spartans pull away.

“Stanwood shot so well tonight,” said Arlington head coach Nick Brown. “That was incredible. There was a point where I was wondering if they’d miss a shot.”

game, a dunk on a fastbreak, seemed to ignite his teammates and the Shorewood fans in the stands.

“Ian’s been a little sick and had an injury for a little bit, so he hasn’t had a complete game in a while,” Shorewood head coach Corey O’Hayre said.

“It was nice to see him get off to a good start and he had a really good game tonight.”

After Meadowdale made a run late in the third quarter to get to within nine heading into the final stanza, Kirk’s younger brother, sophomore Sean Kirk, took over.

Kirk scored 11 of his 13 points in the final quarter and the Thunderbirds pulled away.

“Sean got in foul trouble early, but had a great fourth quarter,” O’Hayre said. “You see when we can get out and run that Sean’s great at doing that.”

Shorewood’s defense held Meadowdale to single digits in scoring in three of the four quarters.

The Mavericks 39 points were their third fewest all season.

“I give all the credit to Shorewood,” Meadowdale head coach Andy Streit said. “They played great defense and they made it tough for us. We need to get better from here and clean stuff up.”

Defense has been a focus for Shorewood all season.

“We work a lot on defense in practice — a lot,” O’Hayre said. “Probably 70 percent of practice is defense. We really focus on trying to take care of guys on the defensive end. They don’t play a very fast pace so the score might be a little deceiving, but they are a tough team that executes really well so I was glad to see that most of the game we took care of what they were trying to do to us.”

Meadowdale has had its share of adversity this season, but barring a disaster should qualify for districts with the eighth and final seed.

“We’ve taken our lumps all year,” Streit said. “We’ve battled through adversity and injury and everything like that. I don’t think our guys are going to mail it in by any means. I’ve seen us respond before. I just think that if we can get in then we have a possibility of making some noise.”

Nathan Aune led Arlington with 24 points and eight rebounds.

Aune missed the previous matchup against Stanwood — where the Spartans were again victorious against the Eagles 79-62 on Jan. 16 — because of an academy soccer game in California.

“Nathan does a good job of getting to the rim and that opens up the game for our perimeter shooters,” Brown said.

“He made some big shots in the first half.”

Donavan Sellgren and Drew Bryson added 14 points apiece for Arlington (4-4, 12-6).

“In the game that (Aune) didn’t play I think Bryson picked up his scoring load,” Ward said. “... It changes things (having him back). He’s a good player. He’s their leading scorer. Having him back does change, a little bit, what they do. But other guys step up.”

Stanwood’s hot shooting doomed the Eagles again this season. Stanwood defeated Arlington for the third consecutive time and fifth time in the two teams’ past six meetings.

“We’ve been on the other end of it the last couple of years, as far as going and sweeping teams,” Brown said. “We got swept tonight. We’ve got some learning to do.

I’m proud of my kids. No question about how hard they played.”

AJ Martinka scored 10 points and grabbed five steals for the Spartans, who are coming into their own late in the season.

“We’re playing our best right now,” Ward said.

“You always shoot to be playing your best when February starts. ... The kids have stuck to the plan. It was rough sailing early in the year but they’ve just battled through and kept working and working and working.”

Caddies sue PGA Tour for making them wear bibs with logos Associated Press SAN DIEGO — A group of PGA Tour caddies sued the PGA Tour in federal court Tuesday for making them wear bibs that have the logo of the tournament sponsors without sharing in what it estimates as $50 million in endorsement revenue.

The class-action suit on behalf of 81 caddies was filed in San Francisco, where former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon successfully sued the NCAA for keeping college players from selling their marketing rights.

“This lawsuit is intended to protect the

rights of caddies who are required to endorse tour sponsors with zero compensation from the PGA Tour,” said Gene Egdorf, the caddies’ Houstonbased lawyer.

“Any working professional deserves to be paid based on the income they generate, but that’s not happening on the PGA Tour.”

PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said there would be no comment.

At issue was whether the tour had a right to force caddies to wear bibs and “retain for itself the tens of millions of dollars in advertising generated by those bibs.”

Pettit From Page C1

Kickers are often the last players to be offered scholarships.

Pettit said an unusually high amount of scholarships were handed out last season to high-school kickers, meaning many highly ranked kickers are joining teams as preferred walk-ons hoping to earn a scholarship after they arrive rather than being offered a scholarship outright.

Of the top nine kickers in the country, Pettit said four have accepted preferred walk-ons (including himself), four others will accept scholarships and the other is undecided.

As long as Pettit does well during his redshirt year he will earn a scholarship for his second season.

“They’ve told me that their whole deal is that they want to recruit from within,” Pettit said.

“They said they’ll for sure offer a kicker next year, so if I’m not performing then they’ll go find a high-school guy. If I’m performing then I’ll just get the scholarship, so really it’s up to me.

“They want to know you can perform, so they offer that walk-on and hope to scholarship you.

They really want you to come in and earn it and prove it to them while you’re there, rather than just give the scholarship and take the risk on a

high-school guy.”

Eastern Washington University offered Pettit a partial scholarship and he had preferred walk-on offers from the University of Washington, WSU and Nevada. Penn State, Idaho and Memphis also contacted Pettit to gauge his interest in taking a preferred walk-on spot.

The recruiting process has lasted for over two years, but Pettit said it got easier the closer he got to making his decision.

“It’s been tough, just being a kicker,” Pettit said.

“Schools will pop in and you’re talking to them for a while and then out of nowhere you’re not talking to them anymore.

During the season, you’re trying to focus on playing games while taking visits to go watch other college games that weekend. It’s been tough, but then these last couple of months you can tell who’s really serious about you and who really needs you and want you. The last month made it a lot easier to choose.” He’s kicked in pressure situations and the recruiting process was like a prolonged fieldgoal attempt, but Pettit was all smiles after making his decision.

“It’s awesome,” Pettit said. “Who doesn’t want to be in this situation?

“You’re playing bigtime football and that’s what you want.”

Browning From Page C1

The game never did speed up for Browning, the University of Washington signee who recently produced perhaps the most statistically prolific high-school career on record.

He finished with 229 career touchdown passes — a national high-school record — in 46 games as Folsom’s starter. He threw for 91 touchdowns in 2014 alone — another national record — along with just seven interceptions in 524 attempts, and led Folsom to a 16-0 record and a CIF Division 1 state championship.

All told, in three seasons helming Folsom’s spread passing attack, Browning completed 1,191 of his 1,708 attempts — a 69.7 completion percentage — for 16,775 yards, the 229 touchdowns, and 40 interceptions. In his career, Folsom lost just two games, both to powerhouse De La Salle, both in the state semifinals in consecutive years.

Those numbers, along with what Taylor describes as uncommon poise and understanding of the game, led to several scholarship offers — including one from Alabama — and there likely would have been more had Browning not committed to Washington on March 31.

Browning, who has already enrolled at UW and will participate in spring practices, is unavailable for media interviews. But on the day he announced his commitment to the Huskies — simply, via Twitter, including a photo of him smiling alongside his 2-year-old sister — he said UW coach Chris Petersen and his staff were the primary reason for his decision.

Described as humble and caring by those who know him, Browning’s personality also seems to align with Petersen’s stated mission of recruiting players whose football abilities are accompanied by great character.

“What it came down to was, I liked the coaches and I liked a lot of the players,” Browning said on the day he committed, “and it seemed like a good environment where everyone’s trying to get

better.”

Taylor, as well as Kris Richardson, who is also Folsom’s co-coach, independently described one of Browning’s most unique personality traits.

That is: When he sits down in the coaches’ office to converse and tell jokes with men more than twice his age, he’s able to keep up.

That’s rare for a high-schooler.

“He’s got a great sense of humor,” Richardson said. “Sometimes you’re hanging out with high-school kids, and they don’t know how to interact — what’s appropriate, what’s funny. He got it. ... If he were to come over and hang out on a Saturday, it’s just like having your buddy hanging out.”

Petersen had been on him for some time, recruiting Browning aggressively when he was still coaching at Boise State. Browning was interested then, too — he attended a camp at Boise — which is why he said Petersen’s move to Washington in December of 2013 was “like combining the best of both worlds.”

The feeling was mutual.

“We really, really liked him from the start,” Petersen said, “and a lot of people really liked him.”

Browning signed a financialaid agreement in September, graduated early from Folsom, and enrolled at UW in January for winter quarter. More importantly, he’ll be able to practice in the spring, which will surely inspire further debate about whether he can settle the Huskies’ uncertain quarterback position by winning the starting job as a true freshman.

That might be asking a lot, but he should at least have a chance.

Cyler Miles, UW’s starter in 2014, returns next season as a fourthyear junior, and though he was mostly inconsistent as a sophomore, logic dictates that he leads the race heading into spring.

Miles is one of four former 4-star quarterback prospects on UW’s roster (Browning included), and that’s not counting Troy Williams, himself a 4-star recruit in the 2013 class, who chose to transfer to a junior college following the 2014 season.

Due to current circumstances, expectations might be higher for Browning, the only member of

CHRIS CARLSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Folsom High School quarterback Jake Browning pass against Oceanside during the first half of the CIF Division I high school football championship game in Carson, Calif., on Dec. 19, 2014.

UW’s 2015 recruiting class ranked in Scout.com’s national top 100.

He’s not a cannon-armed freak athlete like, say, Jake Locker, but his mental capacity and dedication to the film room — one month into his UW career, he’s already in there all the time — make him at least a candidate to compete for the rare distinction of starting as a freshman.

Those who achieve that feat typically possess exceptional football intelligence.

“I think it’s clearly more mental than physical,” Brandon Huffman, Scout.com’s director of recruiting, wrote in an email. “(It’s) more about their ability to grasp an offense and read defenses than just their pure physical advantages. Some of the better quarterbacks in college football have been because of their brains as much as their arm (such as) Kellen Moore (or) A.J. McCarron, while more physically gifted quarterbacks have scuffled because they just can’t read defenses or

pick up offenses, like Jeff Driskell (or) Tyrone Swoopes.”

Did you catch that first name?

Kellen Moore? That was Petersen’s record-setting quarterback at Boise State, the four-year starter from Prosser who threw 143 touchdown passes in his career and led BSU to a 50-3 record during that time.

Taylor has been comparing Browning to Moore for years, before Petersen even started recruiting him. He saw how level-headed and intelligent Browning was as a freshman, and it reminded him of the way Moore commanded Boise State’s offense.

“He has an uncanny feel for the game, and toughness and anticipation, all those things,” Taylor said. “Jake’s a little bit bigger than Kellen (6-foot-2, 205 pounds compared to 6-foot, 197), but at the time, he wasn’t.”

Especially not when Browning was 10 years old, which is when Taylor first met him. Along with Bobby Freques, Taylor coaches

local quarterbacks at what he calls The Passing Academy. He takes kids of all ages, but tends to avoid working with 10-year-olds, because the repetition and precision required of prospective quarterbacks in the early learning stages — “it’s not all fun and games; it’s hardly any fun and games, actually,” Taylor says — can be draining.

But Browning was different.

Every time Taylor drilled him on a technique, Browning came back for his next lesson more polished.

“He would come back and he had worked on it a lot and mastered it,” Taylor said. “He was definitely unique in that way.”

He only got better. Browning, the son of former Oregon State quarterback Ed Browning, beat out a senior for the starting quarterback job at Folsom as a sophomore. It was a controversial decision at the time, Taylor said, but Browning made him look better by throwing 10 touchdown passes in his first start, a 68-28 victory over Woodcreek.

From there, the pace was set.

“He is phenomenal. He might have the best football IQ for a quarterback coming out of high school I have ever been around,” said one FBS recruiter. “It reminds me a lot of Kellen Moore.”

Huffman doesn’t necessarily agree with the Moore comparison — think former Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr instead, he says — because “Moore was winning and setting records in smaller-school Washington, while Browning was shattering records at a much more highprofile program in a much more high-profile state. He’s also bigger than Moore and has a better arm.”

Which, in part, is why he might be the most important recruit of Petersen’s first two classes at Washington.

“When you watch Kellen Moore, he just distributed the ball and kept (Boise State’s) offense moving, and had the arm strength to take the shots downfield when you needed them,” said Richardson, who also believes Browning compares favorably to Moore.

“The great ones do that.

“My deal was always if we can protect Jake and let him sit back there, he’ll beat anybody. Just let him do his thing.”

Spice up baked sweets

I

f we are going to be friends, there are three things you should know: ■■I have decided traditional American cuisine is tragically lacking in recipes featuring cardamom.

■■I like to experiment with ingredients that, at first glance, taste or smell unappealing.

■■When it comes to baked sweets, my go-to treats are oat topped fruit crisps and mini meringues.

I had been curious about cacao nibs for some time (you may say cocoa nibs if you like). A few months ago our family spent a frosty Sunday afternoon window shopping on the lower level of the Pike Place Market. After peaking into a few of the more eclectic shops, we came upon a cozy store selling cacao products both edible and cosmetic.

I was all a-flutter at the prospect of finally trying this new-to-me ingredient. Well, sort of new to me. I had never before tasted a roasted cacao bean but I have tasted the fruit of a cacao pod. Straight off the tree in fact.

When I was 13 I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Costa Rica on a school field trip. There were 28 students and three chaperones. The fact I have no racy stories from the trip is proof that I am as square as they come.

One morning during the trip, we boarded a tour bus and drove upward over some very bumpy roads through the rain forest. We were headed to a small mountain for a hike. I was dreading the hike. At 13 years old I was as tall as I am now, easily 70 pounds heavier (if not more) and terribly out of shape. Before we even began it was uncomfortably hot and humid. I could feel myself going into fight-or-flight mode.

As we scuffed up the path, one of the guides stopped the small group I was trailing. He leaned out into the trees and grabbed a lumpy football-shaped fruit. I was happy to take a break, but I See MCAVOY, Page D2

She invites a group of 6-to 12-year-olds into her kitchen and lets them use knives and power tools.

The Kids in the Kitchen class in her rural Arlington home isn’t child’s play. It’s aprons on, safety first, spoons in, pinch of parsley; it’s training on how to follow recipes.

This isn’t chicken nuggets and fries. It’s coq au vin, roasted rainbow carrots and Brussel sprouts served with “mashed potatoes” made with cauliflower.

“I up the standards,” Marshman said. “Set your standards for your meals, what you want to prepare. If you cater to a kid’s palette, it’s a vicious cycle preparing healthy meals.”

She holds private and public classes in the kitchen where she created hundreds of home cooked meals for her husband and their six sons, ages 15 to 24. Of course, her own kids also know how to cook.

class had everybody doing a little bit of everything, from chopping carrots and pressing garlic to sauteing and taste testing.

Verdict on the mashed cauliflower: “Needs more potatoes.”

The junior chefs learned more than smashing, mashing and carefully mixing ingredients.

“When you open the garlic, I didn’t know they had the individual things in it,” said Koen Collins, 8, who had already mastered making pancakes and eggs at home.

The kids classes last 21⁄2 hours.

Parents can watch their kids in action from the sidelines.

“I’m scared to death to let her do things that she is doing here,” Rhonda Giecek said of her daughter Raichel, 6. “She is doing amazing. It is kind of eyeopening what they are capable of when you get out of their way.”

home-cooked meals and taking time to sit around a table,” she said. “Having the kids get involved in the meal prep, they feel important they can help out.”

There are sessions for chefs of all ages, even toddlers. “If they can roll Play-doh, they can learn how to cook,” she said.

Raise a toast to perfectly golden, custardy bread Deluxe cinnamon French toast

By Lisa Yockelson Special to The Washington Post

Bread, gilded. How does that happen?

Conferring such treatment on a humble slice or two is not quite the puzzle of the century, but what has eluded me for some time is a way to avoid getting that dreaded eggy skin on pan-fried French toast — the kind that’s a little tough or rubbery, looks sad and doesn’t taste so great. Unpleasant, in a word, and in my culinary world, a challenge.

Solved: I whisk the eggs (whole eggs plus a single egg yolk) with the cinnamon sugar, as if preparing the first step of a sponge-style cake batter, and, yes, it banishes the offending film. Please follow my lead, for it’s an easy step and returns a lovely result.

Once the soaking mixture is in place and settles into the bread, one side of each slice is coated with crushed brown rice cereal and a glimmer of cinnamon sugar. Out of the skillet, then, comes French toast memorable for its custardy richness and playful crunch.

have guessed, pours of maple syrup are unnecessary here, but a side helping of sauteed apples and/or pears would be nice. Lisa Yockelson’s favorite plate mate for this is something salty-smoky, such as griddled thick-cut bacon.

Make ahead: The bread slices need to soak in the whisked-egg mixture for 10 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator, uncovered.

For the French toast, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Whisk the whole eggs and egg yolk in a medium mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture and whisk for 30 to 45 seconds or until combined and lightly frothy. Whisk in the vanilla extract, half-and-half and salt.

Pour the whisked-egg mixture into a shallow rimmed baking pan or a shallow bowl. Dip/soak the slices of bread in the mixture to saturate and coat both sides. Carefully and quickly transfer the soaked slices of bread to a rimmed baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.

When ready to assemble, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt half the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter is foamy.

Remove the soaked bread slices from the refrigerator. Spoon the crushed cereal evenly onto one side of each of the slices of soaked bread, then pat it down lightly. Use a wide spatula to transfer two or three slices to the skillet, cereal side up. Sprinkle a little of the cinnamonsugar blend over the surface of the cereal. Cook the bread for 2 minutes, then flip over each slice and cook for 3 minutes or until the cereal surface is lightly caramelized, adjusting the heat to medium-low as necessary to keep the bread from browning too fast. For best texture and flavor, avoid undercooking the slices, and refrain from pressing down on the slices in the skillet. If necessary, wipe out the skillet with a paper towel in between batches if there are darkened bits of cereal or butter.

Repeat with the remaining soaked slices, using the rest of the butter as needed. Serve crispy side up.

NORTHWEST WINES | Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue

Pinot Noir drives Oregon wine industry W

hen someone says, “Oregon wine,” the automatic thought often is “Pinot Noir.” This is because the noble red grape of France’s Burgundy region drives everything about the Oregon wine industry.

A new economic impact report shows that Oregon wine is worth $3.3 billion a year to that state’s bottom line, up from $2.7 billion in 2010. It’s also responsible for more than 17,000 jobs, thanks to the state’s 600-plus wineries and 950 vineyards.

Oregon is the nation’s fourth-largest wineproducing state (after California, Washington and New York), and while vineyards stretch from the Columbia River to the California border and from west of Portland to west

of Boise (yes, it shares the Snake River Valley American Viticultural Area with Idaho), the vast majority of the wine produced in Oregon is in the northern Willamette Valley, less than an hour from downtown Portland. And while Oregon grows no fewer than 40 different wine grapes, the vast majority of the production is Pinot Noir.

Here are a few delicious Oregon Pinot Noirs we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant, or contact the wineries directly.

had seen “Invasion of the Pod People,” and this fruit looked creepily like the incubator of a new humanoid clone.

Inside the pod was not a tiny alien creature but rows of large pebbles coated with a gooey milky-white substance. They were cacao pods!

The pebbles were the seeds that could become chocolate. He held out the pod so we could pluck out a pebble and instructed us to suck the gooey flesh off the seeds.

Eager for a sweet treat, we popped them into our mouths. Instantly noises of surprise and displeasure rippled through the group. As it turns out, cacao fruit does not taste like Hershey bars. It was a bit sweet but the slippery-slimy texture was a shock to my sheltered teenage palate. I tried to appreciate the opportunity to try a new food but the sensation was too foreign for my hot, cottonball mouth to process. I palmed the slippery seed and tossed it off the trail into the trees.

These days, I like my treats far less sweet than when I was 13. When given a choice I will often nibble dark chocolate instead of sweeter milk chocolate. Back beneath the Market, I was giddy with excitement at the second chance to sample the bean that had once been nestled inside that slimy film I first tried years before. The shop assistant pulled out two types of roasted cacao for us to try: nibs and whole beans.

The nibs and beans had been roasted the same way but they originated in two different parts of Central America. At first taste both were intensely bitter. After a moment, the taste expanded into hints of smoke, fruit, and a delightful tease of chocolate liquor. Each had its own flavor nuances.

I purchased a small bag of whole beans knowing they would need to be crushed to go into a recipe.

When brainstorming recipes to try with cacao nibs I decided to begin with one of my favorite little cookies and folded a couple of spoonfuls into a cardamom-laced meringue batter. The cacao nibs keep the meringues from being overly sweet and give each bite a playful little crunch, similar to adding a bit of almond but without the nutty flavor.

The structure brings nice shoulders with black currant, grilled strawberry and elderberry.

Lovely aromas of dusty raspberry, black plum and orange oil include hints of violet, cotton candy, buttered toast and flint. Inside is a beautiful delivery of plum, blackberry and currant amid a rounded, elegant structure.

Cacao nib cardamom meringues 3 large egg whites at room temperature 1½ cups of powdered sugar, measured then sifted 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom ¼ teaspoon fine grain salt ¼ teaspoon cream of tarter ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoon cacao nibs A slightly exotic flavor combination for times when you are in the mood for something sweet but a little offthe-beaten path. Never before has a 20-calorie cookie been this seductive.

The bitter crunch of cacao nibs combined with just a bit of aromatic cardamom makes these a unique cookie.

If you aren’t able to find cacao nibs, you may substitute an equal volume of mini dark chocolate chips.

Begin by separating the eggs. Place the egg whites into a large, squeaky clean glass or stainless steal mixing bowl. Discard or save the egg yolks for another use. Let the egg whites come to room temperature while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If using a pastry bag to shape the meringues, prepare the bag with the desired tip and leave it upside down in a large drinking glass with the sides folded down. This way you can easily transfer the meringue to the bag.

Into a medium bowl, sift together the sugar, cocoa powder and cardamom.

Premeasure the cacao nibs into a small dish and set them near your mixing station.

Making the meringue, sprinkle the room temperature egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar then begin whisking — electric mixers use medium-low speed. The eggs should begin to froth up first with large and then smaller and smaller bubbles

(14.5 percent) Saffron Fields Vineyard 2011 Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton, $55: This gorgeous Pinot Noir opens with aromas of black plum, dark cherry, cocoa, toast and anise. The palate is magical with a delicious core of concentrated black fruit, surrounded by supple tannins and bright acidity that lifts it to satiny finish.

(13.5 percent) Penner-Ash Wine Cellars 2012 Zena Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir, EolaAmity Hills, $65: Flashy oak treatment shows with hints of caramel and mocha, backed by red cherry, red plum and raspberry with a pinch of mint and cedar.

The drink brings more fruit and less oak, leading with

boysenberry, cherry and rhubarb with orange oil in the finish. (14.5 percent) Durant Vineyards 2012 Bishop Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $65: This boldly expressive Pinot Noir begins with aromas of plum jam and boysenberry with milk chocolate and coffee. It’s all about black currant and fresh blueberry on the palate with nicely integrated blackberry and cherry notes.

Juicy acidity and blueberry skin tannins lead to a finish of grilled strawberry and coffee.

Its supple entry brings rich strawberry and

The finish is lengthy with red currant and whole cranberries. (12.8 percent) Knudsen Vineyards 2012 Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $55: There’s very little barrel influence to the nose of red currant, cherry, plum and blueberry with a sprinkle of white pepper.

until the translucent froth becomes dull white foam.

Continue mixing. Add the vanilla, then use a small (1⁄4-1⁄3 cup) measuring cup to slowly add the sugar mixture to the eggs. Be careful not to deflate the bubbles.

Once the sugar is fully incorporated increase the mixer speed to medium high and continue whisking until the egg whites have become voluminous. They should turn bright shiny white with no visible bubbles and hold their shape in stiff peaks when the whisk is removed. You should be able to hold the bowl upside down over your head with no threat of making a mess. Gently fold in the cacao nibs by bringing a large spoon or silicon scraper down through the middle, across the bottom of the bowl, then up and over again until the nibs are evenly distributed through the meringue batter.

Pipe (or spoon) the meringue on to the prepared baking sheets in small mounds about an 11⁄2 inches in diameter. Space them with about an inch all around (they puff out a bit while baking). You should be able to get 20 to a standard baking sheet with a few extra dotted in the intersections if need be.

Bake the meringues for 20 minutes in the warm oven but prop the door slightly ajar with the handle of a wooden spoon to vent the humidity.

After minutes turn off the oven and leave the meringues for an additional hour with the door ajar.

The meringues are done when they have a firm crisp shell but are soft just in the center. Once they have cooled completely (you may leave them in the oven with the door closed), transfer them to an air tight container where they should keep for about a week.

Prep time: 25 minutes; Cook time: 1 hour 20 minutes. Yield: about 44 meringues Note: Meringues can be temperamental. They tend to be the most cooperative on dry days when the kitchen is a little warmer.

The Woman I Admire Most Horizon Elementary Mrs. Caione • 4th Grade The woman I admire is my mom because she cooks for me, and takes care of me. My mom buys me clothes. She helps my family stay under a roof, and mostly because she cares about me. ~By Miranda

Paul Bunyon isn’t the only giant in American legends. Old-timers along the Mississippi River tell of a giant of a woman – Annie Christmas. The stories say she worked on the river docks near the French Quarter in New Orleans and she was fearless – especially when it came to dealing with bullies who hung out on the docks.

When you see blank line in the story below, a word is missing. Select one of the words in Annie’s barrel for each blank until the story makes sense.

Occasionally, Annie liked to get all dressed up. Once, she put on a red satin ____ and red feather plumes in her hair and took a trip on a ___________ called the Natchez Belle.

The captain of that boat was as stubborn as he was mean. When the _________ turned bad, he decided to take a shortcut through a channel that cut across a bend in the ________________ River.

Annie knew the river like the back of her hand and she knew that the cutoff was full of snags and sandbars that could _____ the big paddle wheeler.

But the stubborn captain wouldn’t listen. When the boat hit a sandbar, Annie loaded passengers on her keelboat and fought the current back to the main river. Behind her the Natchez Belle was broken up and _________ by the muddy, swirling river water.

The _______________ hugged Annie, thanking her for saving their lives. They say Annie’s face turned as red as her dress.

Help Annie find the two matching barrels.

DAILY CROSSWORD

It’s good to know when to call it quits

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: I read your column with great interest a few weeks back in which you said that determination to reach a goal is the quality that separates talented grandchildren who achieve success and those who do not. That may well be the case, but I would like to add my two cents.

One way to paraphrase your remarks is to say winners never quit. They just keep plugging, come hell or high water. I think there’s another way of looking at the problem grandchildren face when they give it their all and then hit the wall. It’s like the old song about a gambler. You got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. If you are dealt a bad hand, don’t hang in until the bitter end.

I’m not recommending that grandchildren up and quit at the drop at the drop of a hat. When quitting becomes a habit, you’ve got a grandchild with problems.

But it doesn’t make sense for a youngster to continue on a course that’s a flat out bad match for their abilities and/or temperament.

Instead of thinking about winning, they’ll be thinking about not losing. And they’ll lose their childhood happiness in the process.

— Candy Deavers, Baltimore, Maryland Dear Candy: Many thanks for your exceptionally well-expressed concerns. Is our national aversion to disengaging from goals — embodied in the phrase “quitters never win and winners never quit” — something uniquely American?

Because there’s generally zero praise for those who walk away from the job at hand, regardless of how unrealistic their goal was to begin with.

The trick, we suppose, lies in knowing when to quit the wrong task at the right time, and what to do next. Goals and projects keep us moving and engaged in the game of life.

In this age of instant gratification, it is understandable that grandparents and other family members don’t want to teach a grandchild that a goal is not worth pursuing just because it is difficult.

But grandchildren admonished to stick with it against all odds are being set up to fail. They risk developing a low frustration tolerance and poor self-image,

and don’t experience the joy of mastery.

Instead of allowing them to bark up the wrong tree, grandparents can advise grandchildren to establish challenging but attainable goals, and help them understand there’s no embarrassment in admitting they embarked down the wrong path. Tell them to hold their head up. Sometimes it takes more courage to leave than to stay.

(To avoid any misunderstanding, the previous column you referenced was specifically about gifted grandchildren who intend to go for broke and become “the best of the best.”)

Man feels violated by stealth photograph Dear Abby: My wife and I have been separated for a year. I have been seeing another woman in a city nearby, and my wife is aware of it.

I took my lady friend out for dinner recently while visiting her in her town.

A couple from home who know my wife and me were also eating at this restaurant. I greeted them as we walked by their table.

The next day, my wife approached me and showed me a picture of me and my date that had been taken by this couple without my knowledge. I was furious about the invasion of privacy. My wife claims I am just angry because I got “caught.” If I were worried about getting caught, I wouldn’t have been in a public restaurant in a city frequented by people who know me.

Do they really think they are doing their civic duty?

— Violated In Iowa Dear Violated: You have a right to your privacy. If you and your wife have been separated for a year, then with whom you socialize is your own business. The same applies to your wife.

I fail to see what kind of “civic duty” this couple was performing by taking a picture of you and your date. Frankly, I think it was in poor taste and served no good purpose.

Dear Abby: I’m 30 and have felt pretty happy with my life. I enjoy my job, my social life, staying fit and extensive stays abroad. I thought I was going along OK, even though there is still room for improvement.

My biggest (or most obvious) shortcoming, however, is that I’m not attractive in any way, and guys have never been RIP HAYWIRE

attracted to me, so any chance at a future with someone is not an option.

I thought I was learning to accept it, but it’s harder than I thought — especially because of reactions from other people.

Now that I’m older, people look at me with pity or treat me strangely. I don’t know how to handle the constant questioning about whether I have found someone yet. It is not going to happen. Is there something wrong with me? I’m starting to feel like a total loser and complete failure.

— Loser In Love Dear Loser In Love: If you are asked whether you have “found someone yet,” tell the person the truth, that Chris Pine hasn’t found YOU yet.

There are worse things than singlehood. You have so many positive things going for you in your life, it’s time you recognized it.

The person who deserves pity isn’t someone who is single; it’s someone who is trapped in a marriage to a husband she doesn’t love or who treats her badly.

Your problem isn’t that you are a “loser”; it’s that you have low self-esteem.

You could benefit from talking to a counselor about this, because everyone has something to offer, including you, and for others to appreciate your finer qualities, you need to stop being so hard on yourself.

Ed was declarer at 6NT. He took the ace of hearts and then the A-K of spades. When West showed out, down one looked certain, but dummy next led a club. Cy, East, played low, and Ed’s queen won.

Dummy next led the queen of hearts, and the Cynic could turn in his sword. If he threw a spade, Ed would have five diamonds, four spades, two hearts and a club. When Cy bared his ace of clubs, Ed discarded his last low spade, led a club from dummy to Cy’s ace, and won the last two tricks with the queen of spades and the king of clubs.

Our penny game is pay-asyou-go. Cy had to pay off before he went out the door.

Bieber apologizes for bad behavior NEW YORK — Justin Bieber has apologized for his bad behavior in a new video posted to Facebook.

The singer says in a 2-minute video posted early Thursday that his “arrogant and conceited” attitude over the last two

years was just to cover up his true feelings.

He said growing up in the industry is tough.

Bieber visited “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Wednesday and said he was “nervous” about the appearance. He said he didn’t know how people would react to him.

The 20-year-old was heavily booed at the Fashion Rocks event last

Bieber also said he wants people to know he has a caring side.

Lil Wayne sues record label for $51M NEW YORK — Rapper Lil Wayne has had it with his record label. He’s suing Cash Money Records for $51 million after claiming that it stiffed him for $8 million on a record he delivered last month.

In the federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, the Grammy Award-winning performer asked a Manhattan judge to nullify contracts he has held with the company since November 1998.

Born in New Orleans as Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., the 32-year-old rapper said in the lawsuit that his relationship with the label has been deteriorating over the last four years, with Cash Money failing to live up to contractual promises

regarding monthly accounting statements and the timely payment Lil Wayne of profits owed to Lil Wayne.

The lawsuit said the problems worsened since 2012 as Cash Money failed to pay Lil Wayne a 49 percent share of net income derived from the sale of solo recordings by rapper Drake for Lil Wayne’s partial ownership of the Young Money label, despite Drake’s rise as one of the best-selling recording artists in recent years. Nicki Minaj is also signed to the label.

It said Cash Money also is claiming millions of dollars in marketing expenses for the Young Money label even though it is required to obtain approval from Lil Wayne for expenses greater than $300,000.

And it said the company is preventing artists recommended by Lil Wayne from being added to the Young Money label and is failing to pay third parties involved with the Young Money label, leading to lawsuits and additional costs.

A New York lawyer for Cash Money did not immediately return a message seeking comment. The label was co-founded by Lil Wayne’s mentor, Bryan “Birdman” Williams. A

spokeswoman for Birdman and Cash Money did not return a message seeking comment.

A rapper since childhood, Lil Wayne released his first solo album, “Tha Block Is Hot,” in 1999. He lives in Florida now. The Young Money label is based in Miami.

The Cash Money website is promoting the upcoming release of the record Lil Wayne finished last month, “Tha Carter V,” one of the most anticipated records of the past year.

Lil Wayne said last year it was likely to be his last solo album. “Tha Carter IV,” released in 2011, sold nearly 1 million albums the first week of its release.
