Another young life is lost By Rikki King Herald Writer

Andrew Fryberg, a 15-year-old victim of the shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School, died

Friday evening, hospital officials said. Fryberg had been on life support for two weeks at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was the fourth victim to die

since the Oct. 24 shooting. His death was announced just after 9 p.m. in a press release from the hospital that included this statement from his family: “We express our thanks for the

amazing support from the community, as well as from everyone around the world that (has) been praying for us all through this See ANDREW, Page A2

During the first two years of her battle with kidney disease, her mother, Lisa Gordon, drove her to Seattle Children’s Hospital for dialysis three times a week. Earlier this year, they started doing it at home. Madison now does the threehour-and-41-minute treatments five times a week. She’ll

GOLD BAR — The county has agreed to pay $600,000 to the family of a man who suffered a fatal heart attack in 2010 after he was shocked by a Snohomish County sheriff ’s deputy’s electric stun gun. Adam Colliers, 25, died outside a Gold Bar home after a brief encounter with two sheriff ’s deputies who were responding to reports of someone shouting in the neighborhood. He’d been using drugs. Colliers’ family filed a lawsuit last year against the county and sheriff ’s deputy Bryson McGee. The lawsuit alleged that McGee used excessive force, which resulted in Colliers’ death. It also claimed that the county failed to adequately train its deputies and ignored the known risks associated with using Tasers on people in certain conditions. As part of the settlement the county didn’t admit any wrongdoing. It agreed, however, to revise the sheriff ’s office use of force policies, specifically as it applies to Taser use, said Seattle attorney Jim Lobsenz, who represented Colliers’ family. At the time, the sheriff ’s office didn’t have a written policy specifically addressing the use of Tasers, he said. “Adam’s mom didn’t want another mother to lose her son,” Lobsenz said. “She felt an obligation to do something in memory of her son.” The county maintains that McGee didn’t use excessive force. The deputy determined it was

SULTAN — While awaiting a life-saving kidney transplant, she has managed to land the cover of a national calendar. Madison Gordon, 18, of Sultan, will have her drawing featured on the front of the American Kidney Fund’s 2015 wall calendar. She was honored

at the fundraising organization’s event in Washington, D.C., last month. “Madison is a gifted young woman who, through her artwork, demonstrates absolute optimism and hope while battling a difficult disease at such a young age,” LaVarne Burton, the fund’s chief executive officer, said in a news release. Her winning drawing depicts

Clubbed Ain’t no mountain high enough: The all-male membership of the Adventurers Club of Los Angeles defeated a measure that would have allowed female mountain climbers, marathon runners and explorers to join the 93-year-old organization. (Page A7). The club also passed a resolution to change the

name of the organization to the He-Man Women Haters Club. A hand-painted sign with the new name was quickly hung on the door and the meeting adjourned for a round of lemonade, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and tales of wild stuffed tiger hunting.

She’s spent much of her life in hospitals, undergoing medical treatments. Her condition led to kidney failure by age 15. She’s since been doing dialysis.

Women can drive if they are 30 or older, off the road by 8 p.m. and don’t wear makeup while driving (Page A2). Saudi men, on the other hand, are allowed to wear makeup while driving — as long as it’s tasteful.
