Suit ‘Passion for the Marines’ filed in Cpl. Steven Rintamaki is remembered by his Gold Star Mother fatal crash VETERANS DAY

his service. He was killed in action that September.

“He served with passion for the Marines,” said Myra Rintamaki, 65, of Lynnwood.

In the 10 years since her son’s death, Rintamaki has carried on his passion, caring for the memory of fallen service men and women, and honoring veterans and their families.

MARYSVILLE — A teen severely injured in a 2011 car crash that killed a fellow Marysville Getchell High School student has filed a lawsuit against Snohomish County over road conditions.

Lars Kundu was one of two teenage passengers in the car driven by Juan Mendoza, the 16-year-old who died. The lawsuit filed Oct. 20 in King County Superior Court also names the dead boy’s parents as defendants.

Kundu, who turned 18 this year, filed the lawsuit with his parents, Nola and Michael Kundu of Lake Stevens.

“Our client has permanent injuries to his brain that will affect him for the rest of his life,” said Ann Deutscher, one of Kundu’s attorneys. “He will, in one way or another, be dependent on his parents of the rest of his life.”

The crash occurred on the afternoon of Oct. 24, 2011, as Juan was driving west — downhill— on 108th Street NE from 83rd Avenue NE. Because of the road’s steep slope, some locals have dubbed it “roller-coaster hill,” attorneys said.

The three boys had left school before cross-country practice, planning to return. Kundu was a front-seat passenger, and another

LYNNWOOD — Myra Rintamaki knows she raised her son to care about others. As she looks at the Eternal Flame placed outside the Snohomish County Courthouse by the Gold Star Mothers of 1928, she thinks of his four years as a U.S. Marine corporal.

Steven Rintamaki enjoyed peacekeeping missions, and training missions. In June of 2004, just as his enlistment was due to end, the 21-year-old Marine volunteered for one last mission to Iraq, extending

it. I viewed it as a career choice more than anything.

When he told me he was joining the infantry, though, it made me nervous. The infantry, you know, they use big guns. Steven was a gunner,” she said.

He enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17. The military offered him structure and camaraderie. That was in 2000. A year later, when terrorists attacked, he believed he was right where he belonged.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine, we’ve all heard that. The same is true for Marine families,” his mother said.

Following his death, Myra Rintamaki shifted the focus of her volunteer efforts to programs that support military men and women, and their families.

“With the loss of my son, they have all become my extended military family,” she said. “All that I do is in honor of my son.”

Today, Rintamaki is the former president of the American Gold Star

Mothers Inc. Washington Chapter and current president of the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 1040.

She was a founding member of the Washington Gold Star Mothers, a revived chapter of the American Gold Star Mothers that dwindled after Vietnam. In her time as president, she was instrumental lobbying for a bill that created commemorative Washington license plates with a special Gold Star designation, to recognize the families of fallen warriors.

She also spends Wednesdays with the Red Cross, volunteering with Services to the Armed Forces at Naval Station Everett. She is responsible for contacting active-duty military in emergencies, or when there is a death in their family. The Red Cross also helps to get service men and women home during family emergencies.

For the Ladies Auxiliary, she organizes events for veterans and their families,

such as the annual welcome home luncheon for student veterans at Edmonds Community College.

Right now, the Ladies Auxiliary and VFW Post 1040 have become the new caretakers of Veterans Park at the Lynnwood Civic Center.

Previously funded through the Lynnwood Parks and Recreation Department, the park now will be kept up mostly through volunteer efforts.

Stone monuments recall the sacrifices made by the nation’s warriors in modern times: Europe and the Pacific Rim during World War II; Korea; Vietnam; the Middle East. Cobblestone paths wind through the park. They are bordered by bricks, each inscribed with the names of veterans of foreign wars. Steven Rintamaki is among them.

“The garden is a symbol of remembrance, of life and rebirth. Being part of that is very healing,” she said.

The Ladies Auxiliary will be planting four times a

year, and are looking for donations of small plants and flowers, or monetary donations. With the fall and winter efforts finished, the Ladies Auxiliary is now looking to the spring planting.

The future of the Ladies Auxiliary is dependent on new membership, she said.

Through action, they hope to pique the interest of new, younger members to build a stronger and more sustainable organization.

“Come and take a look, we might be doing something you’re interested in.

Learn how you can give back to the service men and women of this country,” Rintamaki said.

Washington cities are adjusting to deal with those requirements, he said.

The city is also working to separate the storm and sanitary sewer systems, Bauman said. It plans to invest $2.7 million into that effort in 2015. Sewer rates are expected to remain the same in 2015.

If the budget is approved, water rates would rise 5 percent. That, too, is about the same amount those fees have risen annually for the past several years.

The increase is necessary to cover rising costs of providing water, Bauman said.

Snohomish gets its water from the Pilchuck River near Granite Falls. It also buys water from the city of Everett. The City Council last week decided to pursue an all-Everett supply, which eventually would mean closing Snohomish’s

water plant.

The council last week also approved a property tax increase of 1 percent in 2015. A homeowner’s property tax bill is determined by several agencies, including the city, the county and the state. Despite the city’s proposed increase, it anticipates its portion of the overall property tax bill will go down because a fire station bond ends in 2014.

Snohomish estimates that an average homeowner with a property value of $239,610 would pay about $247 for the city portion of the tax in 2015.

That’s about $8 less than that homeowner paid in 2014, assuming their property value increased at the average citywide rate of 5 percent.

There are no sales tax increases proposed for 2015. Sales tax revenue,

which is helping the city get its finances on track after the recession, is expected to rise by 1.5 percent in 2015. Meanwhile, general fund expenses are projected to increase by less than 1 percent. The difference is where the city found money for hiring, Bauman said.

The city hopes to add an engineering technician and maintenance worker in 2015. During the recession, the city lost three public works employees as well as seasonal workers.

Bauman said the city had not reviewed pay since 2003 and was having trouble attracting and retaining talented employees.

“We’ve seen a number of positions where we no longer appear to be competitive,” he said.

The pay-comparison study’s most notable

difference showed Snohomish’s division leads for wastewater, stormwater, water and streets earn up to about $1,300 a month less than others in similar jobs.

“Those are the areas where we’ve had the highest turnover,” Bauman said.

The study also revealed maintenance workers were underpaid by about $300 a month, he said. Since 2012, five experienced maintenance workers have left Snohomish.

The research found just one employee, the city’s fire and building official, earning above the market rate, Bauman said.

Snohomish Finance Director Jennifer Anderson said the city is using the results as the basis for pay raises across the board. The 2015 increase over 2014 for salaries and benefits is $309,652.

law, the intermediate credential prohibited him from carrying passengers younger than 20 who were not family members.

The road surface was wet at the time of the crash. A witness told detectives the Civic went airborne for more than 30 feet after it crested a hump at the top of the hill.

The car lost control, slid down an embankment and hit trees on the side of the road, deputies said. Both surviving passengers were airlifted to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center.

The families of Kundu and the other boy later filed a $50 million damage claim against Snohomish County, but the other teen’s family soon withdrew.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys pressed the county to have the Washington State Patrol perform the investigation, to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. The county declined and had the Sheriff’s Office investigate, following normal procedure.

Lars Kundu now attends community college, but the accident has derailed a once-bright academic

future, his attorneys said.

“If you saw Lars walking on the street, you’d think he’s a normal kid,” Deutscher said. “You want to interact with him like a normal kid. But he’s not.”

The lawsuit faults Snohomish County for poor design and maintenance of the portion of 108th Street NE where the crash occurred. They contend that at the time of the accident, there were inadequate signs warning motorists of the steep grade and poor sight lines.

County attorneys are reviewing the allegations.

“We’ll evaluate the complaint and prepare to defend the county,” said Jason Cummings, the county’s chief civil attorney. “It’s an unfortunate circumstance where the driver died, and our thoughts are with the family.”

The county public works department in 2012 spent about $1 million to improve an 800-foot section of the road that includes the crash site. County officials have said the improvements were related to the approval of a 10-house development at the top of the hill, not a direct response to the accident.

Deutscher and her law partner, Jim Dore, find that hard to believe.

“They engineered a fix to

what should have already been fixed,” Dore said. “It clearly shows there was an issue.”

Kundu’s Kent-based legal team maintains they aren’t seeking damages from the Mendozas and have named them only as a legal technicality. The Mendozas’ attorney said the same thing.

“We’re not in an adversarial relationship with Kundu’s family,” said attorney Elizabeth Hanley of Seattle. “Everybody is sympathetic to each other’s losses and damages.”

Juan Mendoza’s death was mourned widely at Marysville Getchell, where he was a strong student and soccer standout. His relatives continue to grieve.

“He brought a lot of strength to their family,” Hanley said.

Survivors include his parents, a younger sister and an older brother.

The brother, in particular, counted on Juan to help cope with a serious longterm illness that has left him with seizures and trouble balancing, Hanley said.

Parents Rafael and Maria Carmen Mendoza, who still live in Marysville, have filed three damage claims against the county asking for $50 million, the same amount that Kundu’s attorneys had requested. One claim

corresponds to their dead son’s estate and the others to each parent. They’ve filed three claims for the same amount against the Marysville School District, alleging that the district had a legal duty to protect children participating in after-school sports.

The Kundus recently filed damage claims against the school district, but haven’t named it in the lawsuit.

Lars Kundu’s father is a former Marysville School Board member who resigned amid controversy in 2010.

Damage claims are a requirement before suing a public agency in Washington.

The attorneys are adamant that the road, not just negligent driving, contributed to the injuries and death.

“The easiest thing to do is to blame it on a 16-year-old boy entirely,” Hanley said.

“It’s easier for Snohomish County to do that than to look at its own part of what happened.”

The county and the school district have 60 days from the filing date to respond to the damage claims. No court date has been set in the lawsuit.

Couple accused of molesting daughter, 6 The Marysville parents also advertised the girl for others to sexually abuse, said prosecutors.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Prosecutors believe a Marysville couple sexually abused their 6-year-old child and advertised her for others to molest.

The man, 56, and his wife,

34, are accused of child rape, child molestation and sexual exploitation of a minor. They were arrested Friday and booked into the Snohomish County Jail.

Child Protective Services removed the child and her 11-month-old sibling from the home.

Detectives traced 190 Craigslist ads to an anonymous email address the couple allegedly kept.

The ads expressed several themes, including “taboo” sex, sex slavery, incest, incest watching, “nude camming,” being nude in a family setting and nude housekeeping in exchange for rent, according to a police report.

The investigation also uncovered four emails

allegedly between the Marysville man and a Dallas, Texas, suspect who was under investigation

by Florida authorities for receiving and distributing child pornography.

Prosecutors believe the June correspondence shows the pair discussing the possibility of a meeting with the person from Dallas to have sex with their children at the Marysville home.

When the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office showed up at the couple’s home with a search warrant, the husband allegedly told a deputy that he was “scared to death” because of potentially incriminating sexually explicit photographs of the girl on his cellphone. He also allegedly admitted to having sexual contact with the child.

His wife allegedly

admitted to aiding in the sexual abuse between the man and daughter.

Neither suspect has been formally charged. The Herald is not publishing their names because it would identify the child who allegedly was abused. Both suspects were being held on $500,000 bail.

Old Glory waves in Sultan A total of 96 flags will grace Main Street when Christina Nelson’s vision is fulfilled.

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SULTAN — Christina Nelson is taking on a patriotic project of her own. And she’s readying it in time for Sultan’s Veterans Day celebration.

Nelson, 48, is engaged to Dave Sivewright, the Army Sgt. 1st Class known for running through the Skykomish Valley in uniform carrying a large American flag. While Sivewright shares his patriotic pride with each stride, Nelson envisions a spectacle that stays in place.

She is raising $7,000 to line Sultan’s Main Street with American flags on special occasions. Nelson sees the stars and stripes in Monroe as she commutes to her job as a site operator for WorkSource. But she noticed that Old Glory was missing from Sultan’s downtown.

“I just wanted to bring a little pride to Sultan,” Nelson said.

She got the green light for her project from the City Council in August. Eventually, she wants to put 96 flags up along Main Street, from First Street to U.S. 2.

Nelson is taking donations for that effort. Those who contribute $30 to her project will have their names engraved on a brass plates that go with the flags. People can donate on the American flag project gofundme page or at any Coastal Community Bank.

Two organizations have offered to pay for the project, but she turned them down.

“It was meant to represent our community, our veterans and our local businesses,” Nelson said. “I want to see 96 brass plates with 96 names.”

So far, she’s raised more than $3,100, enough to get

the stars and stripes up along about half of Main Street. That’s 48 three-byfive-foot American flags flying on 12-foot poles above Sultan.

Nelson was determined to have them in place for the city’s Veterans Day ceremony. She and Sivewright, 53, are co-chairs of the committee that puts on the event. It is set for 11 a.m.

Tuesday at the Sultan veterans memorial wall on Main Street.

Nelson expects to complete her project by Martin Luther King Day on Jan. 19.

Once that happens, Sultan residents should be able to place worn flags in a clear plastic bags on top of their garbage bins. Nelson arranged for city workers

to take them to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars or the Boy Scouts for disposal.

Those groups have volunteered to bury or burn the flags properly once the program is in place.

“A lot of people don’t know how to retire their flags respectfully,” Nelson said.

She was inspired to take on the project by her fiance.

The soldier holds a fivepound flag as he jogs half a dozen miles down U.S. 2.

He canters in his camo battalion uniform and combat boots, despite pouring rain or blazing sun. Nelson said she wanted to expand on his effort.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS Lola M. Struble

Oct. 13, 1923-Nov. 8, 2014

Herald staff LYNNWOOD — A house fire on Monday morning near Lynnwood left a 43-year-old woman with serious injuries.

Investigators believe the woman was refueling a kerosene space heater with gasoline — the wrong fuel — when the gasoline ignited and spread.

The fire was reported at 6:47 a.m. at the house in the 1900 block of 199th Place SW. The woman was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett before being transferred to Harborview Medical Center. No one else was hurt.

Crews responded from Fire District 1 and Lynnwood. The flames were contained to the living room but smoke spread throughout the house.

The American Red Cross was assisting those displaced.

Damage was estimated at $35,000.

I do.”

The couple got engaged last Christmas Day after taking a circuitous route to romance.

Sivewright met Nelson online while he was deployed in Kuwait. To ease his homesickness, she started sending him daily photos of people from all walks of life holding a sign that read: “Good Morning Dave.”

She would email up to 30 photos of various people she enlisted in a particular day, such as the Pepsi guy, a rock band or the high school choir.

After five months of exchanging messages and photos, they arranged to meet. Nelson stood Sivewright up the first time but he mustered the courage to ask her out again about a month later.

Now the couple are raising five teenage boys together in Sultan. Their wedding is set for March 28. Nelson said she is working to convince Sivewright to get married at the miniature Wayside Chapel on U.S. 2. Their colors, of course, are red, white and blue.

Nelson said it’s hard to pinpoint what drives their patriotic spirit. But one thing is for certain: They don’t take their liberty for granted.

“We’re just so fortunate in the USA, to have the freedoms we have,” she said. “I’m proud to be an American.”

Obama: No deal with N. Korea

Says nothing was offered in return for release of two Americans

By Julie Pace Associated Press

BEIJING — President Barack Obama is squelching speculation that the release of two Americans held in North Korea might pave the way for a new round of nuclear talks, saying the U.S. needs more than “small gestures” before reopening a high level of dialogue with Pyongyang.

Shortly after Obama arrived in China, North Korea’s neighbor and chief benefactor, the president made his first extensive public comments Monday on the hand-over of Americans Kenneth Bae, of Lynnwood, and Matthew Miller, of Bakersfield, California. The timing of the Americans’ release raised questions about what message North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong Un, might be trying to send the U.S. president while he is in the region.

While Obama welcomed Bae’s and Miller’s reunion with

ASSOCIATED PRESS

North Korean soldiers stand watch July 27, 2013, at the border village of Panmunjom, which has separated the two Koreas since the Korean War. President Barack Obama said Monday that North Korea has not shown any seriousness about dismantling its nuclear program or in addressing human rights violations.

their families, he insisted that his administration had offered nothing in return to North Korea, one of the world’s most isolated and impoverished countries.

“There were not high-level policy discussions,” Obama

said during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

When asked whether the negotiations to secure Bae and Miller’s release gave him new insight into North Korea’s mysterious president and his

strategy for dealing with the U.S., Obama said curtly, “No.” The president’s dismissive tone was echoed by senior administration officials who said that while the White House remains open to engagement with North Korea, Pyongyang still has not shown any seriousness about dismantling its nuclear program or in addressing human rights violations.

The so-called six-party nuclear talks between the U.S., North Korea, China, Japan, South Korea and Russia officially broke down in 2009, and there has been little diplomatic progress since.

The failure of that diplomacy stands in contrast to the progress the U.S. and a different coalition of international partners have made in nuclear talks with Iran, though it remains unclear whether those parties can reach a final agreement by a fast-approaching Nov. 24 deadline.

ACROSS THE U.S.

U.S. to tell cops when immigrants released WASHINGTON — The Homeland Security Department is working on an automated system to notify state and local authorities when an immigrant with a serious criminal history is released into their jurisdictions, according to a letter from a pair of Texas lawmakers.

In a letter sent Monday to acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Winkowski, Republican Sen. John Cornyn and Democrat Rep. Beto O’Rourke said they were told about the notification system by a senior ICE official in late October. ICE is also considering adding notifications for victims, the pair wrote.

The letter did not provide details of the how the notification system would work or when it will be launched.

Hawaii: Lava burns home A stream of lava set a home on fire Monday in the rural town of Pahoa on the Big Island. The home’s renters already had left the residence in the isolated and mostly agricultural Puna district. Earlier in the day, lava burned down a small corrugated steel storage shed on the property, Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said. The lava from Kilauea volcano emerged from a vent in June and entered Pahoa on Oct. 26.

Rescue effort delayed 2 days by plane trouble

By Matthew Lee and Ken Dilianian Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Last week’s high-stakes mission to retrieve two Americans jailed in North Korea was delayed by nearly two days because the aircraft carrying Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to Pyongyang broke down, U.S. officials said Monday.

The problem is just the latest issue with the Air Force’s fleet of Boeing jets. Similar incidents have plagued Secretary of State John Kerry in recent months, forcing him to fly commercially in at least two instances.

But none of those delays have hampered such a sensitive diplomatic mission.

Clapper left Washington at 2 a.m. Tuesday on a C-40 aircraft and had expected to be in North Korea on Thursday, the officials said. But they said the breakdown forced him to spend a day and a half in Hawaii while the plane was repaired. He then flew to Guam and on to Pyongyang, they said. The officials spoke

on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it.

Clapper did not arrive in North Korea until late Friday. He left with Americans Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller on Saturday, a day later than planned. An intelligence official said there was no indication that North Koreans had a problem with the unanticipated delay in Clapper’s arrival.

Hawaii is home to Hickam Field, a U.S. Air Force base. If the plane had broken down in North Korea, it would have posed considerable logistics problems. The U.S. military maintains large bases nearby in South Korea and Japan.

The plane was delayed in Honolulu for about 20 hours Wednesday for minor electrical maintenance, then when it flew to Guam it was delayed about 26 hours because of a minor navigation system problem. The departure from Guam was delayed until the aircraft was deemed fully operational.

“Due to the complexity and nature of this mission, the Air Force was committed to

ensuring the aircraft used had 100 percent reliability prior to its departure into Pyongyang,” Air Force Capt. Erika Yepsen said.

The C-40 that Clapper took to North Korea resembles a Boeing 737-700. The aircraft is part of the 89th Airlift Wing, based at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and is one of 11 owned by the Air Force and used for VIP flights, including Cabinet members. The C-40s were first deployed in 2003.

According to the Air Force, the planes have problems or a breakdown that prevents flying 6 percent of the time they’re used. That breakdown rate is a bit higher than in 2011 or 2012, when it was a just over 3 percent of the time.

The C-40s are a bit smaller than the military’s C-32 aircraft, which is similar to the Boeing 757-200 and is more frequently used by Cabinet members, including Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.

Yepsen said the Air Force has four C-32s and they have 94.4 percent “mission capable” rate

for this year.

But those jets have had a recent history of high-profile breakdowns.

In October, for the fourth time this year, Kerry’s C-32 broke down in Vienna, forcing him to fly home commercially from a diplomatic mission for the second time in three months. In August, he flew home commercially from Hawaii at the end of a roundthe-world trip due to a plane issue.

Last month, Hagel took off for South America only to have to turn around and return to Joint Base Andrews so a malfunction could be fixed before taking off again for Colombia.

Problems with the Air Force fleet that ferry America’s top officials aren’t new, and secretaries of state have long complained about the aircraft they must fly for official business.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton encountered several aviation breakdowns when she was in office, including a tire that burst on landing in the United Arab Emirates.

VA vows to focus on customer service

By Matthew Daly Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On the eve of Veterans Day, the Veterans Affairs Department announced a reorganization Monday designed to make it easier for veterans to gain access to the sprawling department and its maze-like websites.

VA Secretary Robert McDonald called the restructuring the largest in the department’s history and said it will bring a singular focus on customer service to an agency that serves 22 million veterans.

“As VA moves forward, we will judge the success of all our efforts against a single metric: the outcomes we provide for veterans,” McDonald said. The

VA’s mission is to care for veterans, “so we must become more focused on veterans’ needs,” he said.

The VA has been under intense scrutiny since a whistleblower reported this spring that dozens of veterans may have died while awaiting treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital, and that appointment records were manipulated to hide the delays. A report by the department’s inspector general said workers falsified waitlists while their supervisors looked the other way or even directed it, resulting in chronic delays for veterans seeking care and bonuses for managers who appeared to meet on-time goals.

The inspector general’s office identified 40 patients who died

while awaiting appointments in Phoenix, but said officials could not “conclusively assert” that the delays caused the deaths.

As part of the restructuring announced Monday, the VA will hire a chief customer service officer and simplify the way it is organized to deliver health care and other services, McDonald said. For instance, the department will create a single customer service structure with a limited number of regional divisions that will apply to all aspects of the agency, from health care to benefits, loan centers and even cemetery plots. The VA now has nine separate regional structures of varying size and at least a dozen websites, many with their own user names

and passwords.

Eventually, McDonald would like all veterans to have one user name and password for all VA services. McDonald hopes to complete the reorganization within a year.

Veterans also should be able to communicate with officials in a single region to solve problems, McDonald said. Under the current structure, a veteran may live in one VA region for health care, another region for mortgage services and a third for veterans’ benefits.

The reorganization, to be known as “MyVA,” is designed to provide veterans with “a seamless, integrated and responsive customer service experience — whether they arrive at VA digitally, by phone or in person,” McDonald said.

A museum devoted to Corvettes is ready to put a car-swallowing sinkhole in its rear view mirror. Workers arrived Monday at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green to start plugging the hole that consumed eight prized sports cars in February. The sight of crumpled cars toppled like toys in the gaping pit turned into an Internet sensation. It also became a popular attraction. People gawking at the hole revved up attendance and revenue at the museum. The museum cashed in by selling sinkhole-themed T-shirts, videos, postcards, and jars filled with sinkhole dirt and tiny pieces of car parts.

S. Dakota: Winter arrives The first real punch of winter ranged across the Upper Midwest on Monday, bringing heavy snow in some areas and plunging temperatures across the region. The frigid air was pushed in by a storm that hit Alaska with hurricaneforce winds over the weekend, and threatened to bury several states in snow and send temperatures as much as 40 degrees below average. By Monday, up to 4 inches of snow had fallen in western South Dakota and up to 7 inches in the eastern part of the state.

The heaviest band of snow was expected across the midsection of Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, with 12 inches and more forecast for parts of the Minnea polis-St. Paul area. Snow was expected to end Tuesday, but cold air will be around for a while, forecasters said

AROUND THE WORLD Nigeria: Suicide bomber kills 48 students, injures 79 Disguised in a school uniform, a suicide bomber set off explosives hidden in a backpack during an assembly Monday at a high school in Potiskum, killing at least 48 students and wounding 79 others. It was the latest attack by suspected Boko Haram militants who kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls earlier this year. Monday’s bombing came one week after a suicide attack in Potiskum, the capital of Yobe state, killed 30 people taking part in a religious procession by moderate Muslims.

Syria: Assad says U.N. truce plan ‘worth studying’ President Bashar Assad said Monday that a U.N. envoy’s proposal to implement a cease-fire in the embattled northern city of Aleppo was “worth studying.” The envoy, Staffan de Mistura, first raised the idea of small-scale, localized and negotiated truces in Syria at the United Nations late last month.

The proposal would involve freezing the fighting in certain areas to allow for humanitarian aid and local steps as part of a push toward a wider peace in the civil war that has killed more than 200,000. It was not clear whether Assad’s remarks reflected a change in the government’s stance, or an attempt to appear open to the idea without committing to it.

Obama calls for tougher Net rules

By Anne Flaherty Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday embraced a radical change in how the government treats Internet service, siding with consumer activists who fear slower download speeds and higher costs but angering Republicans and the nation’s cable giants who say the plan would kill jobs.

Obama called on the Federal Communications Commission to more heavily regulate Internet providers and treat broadband much as it would any other public utility. He said the FCC should explicitly prohibit Internet providers like Verizon and AT&T from charging data hogs like Netflix extra to move their content more quickly.

The announcement sent cable stocks tumbling.

The FCC, an independent regulatory body led by political appointees, is nearing a decision on whether broadband providers should be allowed to cut deals with the content providers but is stumbling over the legal complexities.

“We are stunned the president would abandon the

‘Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet.

— Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas

longstanding, bipartisan policy of lightly regulating the Internet and calling for extreme” regulation, said Michael Powell, president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the primary lobbying arm of the cable industry, which supplies much of the nation’s Internet access.

This “tectonic shift in national policy, should it be adopted, would create devastating results,” added Powell, who chaired the FCC during the Bush administration until 2005.

Consumer groups and content providers hailed Obama’s move, with Netflix posting to its Facebook page that “consumers should pick winners and losers on the Internet, not broadband gatekeepers.”

“Net neutrality” is the idea that Internet service providers shouldn’t block, slow or manipulate data moving across its networks. As long as content isn’t

against the law, such as child pornography or pirated music, a file or video posted on one site will load generally at the same speed as a similarly sized file or video on another site.

In 2010, the FCC embraced the concept in a rule. But last January, a federal appeals court struck down the regulation because the court said the FCC didn’t technically have the legal authority to tell broadband providers how to manage their networks.

The uncertainty has prompted the public to file some 3.7 million comments with the FCC — more than double the number filed after Janet Jackson’s infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.

On Monday, Obama said the FCC should explicitly ban any “paid prioritization” on the Internet.

Obama also suggested that the FCC reclassify consumer broadband as a public utility under the

1934 Communications Act. That would mean the Internet would be regulated more heavily like phone service.

AT&T on Monday threatened legal action if the FCC adopted Obama’s plan, while Comcast Corp. said reclassifying broadband regulation would be “a radical reversal that would harm investment and innovation, as today’s immediate stock market reaction demonstrates.”

Similar statements were released by Time Warner Cable Inc. and several industry groups.

Many Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, sided with industry in denouncing the plan as government overreach. “‘Net Neutrality’ is Obamacare for the Internet,” declared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Twitter.

“The Internet should not operate at the speed of government.”

On Monday, as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index edged up slightly, big cable companies slid.

Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cablevision and Charter Communications dropped 2 percent to 4 percent in the hours immediately after the announcement.

Obama talks trade, visas at APEC summit

By Stuart Leavenworth McClatchy Washington Bureau

BEIJING — On his first day of a weeklong Asia trip, President Barack Obama was multitasking Monday: He sought to counter perceptions that he’s a weakened leader, tried to dispel claims that he seeks to “contain” China and yet obliquely criticized Beijing’s human rights record and trade policies.

Obama, speaking to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, announced an agreement to make it easier for Chinese and U.S. citizens to travel between their countries.

He praised President Xi Jinping for helping to broker the new visa policy, which he said would facilitate business, education and tourism on both sides of the Pacific.

Yet he also noted several economic challenges the Pacific Rim faces, including widespread corruption and the discrimination women confront in starting businesses in male-dominated societies. While he didn’t mention China by name, some of his comments were clearly aimed toward APEC’s host country.

“Steady, sustainable growth requires promoting policies and practices that keep the Internet open and accessible,” Obama said. “Steady, sustainable growth requires a planet where people can breathe clean air and drink clean water and eat safe food.”

Obama is meeting with some of the 20 Pacific Rim leaders who are

attending the annual Asia-Pacific summit in Beijing. APEC nations make up roughly 57 percent of the global economy, including the three largest economies: the United States, China and Japan.

By traveling here, Obama is again trying to make the case that the United States’ future is tied to the prosperity of Asia.

As part of that pitch, he’s touting the improvement of the U.S. economy. The narrative is that the United States is a more dependable source of investment and a better place to invest than China, which is seeking to restructure its economy and accept slower growth as a consequence.

At the same time, Obama is trying to persuade Asia that he

remains focused on the region despite foreign policy crises in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine that have consumed his attention. A year ago, he missed the APEC summit in Bali because of the budget stalemate in Washington, causing some in Asia to question his commitment.

A week ago, Obama and his party lost control of the Senate, further eroding Asian confidence in his ability to deliver.

A big story of APEC so far is reduced tensions between China and Japan. On Monday, Xi and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held their first meeting since both took office two years ago. It came three days after the two countries announced a deal

aimed at improving relations and sidelining territorial disputes over islands in the East China Sea. The new visa policy announced Monday was lauded by business and other groups. For U.S. citizens residing in China, the current one-year visa for business in China would be extended for as much as 10 years. The education visa would be extended as long as five years.

Chinese business investors and students also would enjoy longer visa extensions to reside in the United States, according to the White House statement.

A senior administration official said Monday that it could lead to hundreds of thousands of jobs being created in the United States, many of them in tourism.

Some 100 million Chinese traveled worldwide last year, but only 1.8 million came to the United States.

Monday evening, Obama participated in several APEC ceremonies. One of these was a photo op widely mocked on social media, in which the heads of state were photographed wearing outfits that resembled “Star Trek” uniforms. Earlier in the evening, Obama met with President Joko Widodo of Indonesia, where Obama lived as a child.

After China, Obama will fly Wednesday to Myanmar, previously known as Burma. He then heads Saturday to Australia, where he’ll attend the G-20 economic summit in Brisbane.

He will return to Washington on Sunday.

Boeing wins $8.5 billion order for 737s

TOKYO — Boeing won an $8.5 billion order from Japanese lessor SMBC Aviation Capital as Asian aircraft-leasing companies bet on demand for new planes to serve the region’s travel growth.

The order is for 80 737 Max 8 models for delivery between 2018 and 2022, the lessor said in a statement in Tokyo on Monday.

The contract value is based on list

Monday’s agreement follows a July deal by SMBC to purchase $11.8 billion of aircraft from Airbus Group NV in the largest single-aisle plane order ever placed by a leasing company.

Last week, China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings, the first Asian lessor to sell shares publicly, pledged to buy 100 Airbus aircraft valued at $10 billion. In August, BOC Aviation Pte, a unit of Bank of China, said it was buying $8.8 billion of Boeing jets, the Singapore-based lessor’s biggest order ever.

Drug maker Dendreon goes for bankruptcy Prostate cancer drug developer Dendreon Corp. is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with a plan that leads to either a sale of the company or a takeover by its lenders. The Seattle company listed more than $664 million in total debts and $364.6 million in assets in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court filing Monday.

Dendreon makes the prostate cancer treatment Provenge. It said Monday that its restructuring will allow for the continued delivery of the drug to doctors and patients.

McDonald’s recalls Happy Meal toy McDonald’s is recalling the “Hello Kitty Birthday Lollipop” whistle given to children in Happy Meals, citing a chance they could choke on some of its parts. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Monday that two children have reportedly coughed out pieces of the whistle that they had sucked into their mouths.

More Nissans recalled The Takata exploding air bags controversy continued to grow with Nissan reporting to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall 52,000 more vehicles to fix the problem. The problem is thought to affect close to 8 million vehicles in the U.S.

Uber in talks to raise another $1 billion Uber, the big gorilla in the car service startup space, is reportedly in talks to raise $1 billion to fuel the company’s rapid international expansion. San Francisco-based Uber is seeking to raise $1 billion, a sum that would catapult the company’s already stratospheric valuation. The company already raised $1.2 billion this year from venture capitalists and big financial institutions, making for the largest-ever fundraising deal for a venture capital-backed company.

The council must issue a written decision by Nov. 24. The public hearing and council deliberations opened last week and continued Monday. After a 15-minute executive session, the council decided to wait on its final decision until all members are present.

“I remember in the 1990s, this was very controversial decision to open this mine,” councilman Brian Sullivan said.

He asked that the vote be delayed, and the council approved the extension 4-0.

Lutheran housing project moves ahead

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A proposal to build housing for students at Trinity Lutheran College in downtown Everett will move forward.

The small Christian school plans to build a sixstory, 100-unit residence hall on the southwest corner of California Street and Oakes Avenue.

On Nov. 5, the Everett City Council approved an ordinance that allows the school to begin development.

A plan has not been submitted to the city yet, said Allan Giffen, director of planning and community development.

Trinity Lutheran College relocated to Everett

438-8100, www.futureofflight.org.

Museum: The Flying Heritage Collection offers free admission to veterans and current active duty members Nov. 11. The museum is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., at 3407 109th St. SW, Everett. More info: 877-342-3404, info@flyingheritage. com.

YMCA: All YMCA of Snohomish County family branches will be open to all military (active or retired) and families Nov. 11. Military ID is required. The Marysville Family YMCA also offers Military Family Night at 4 p.m. Nov. 15, with dinner, games, crafts, family swim time, dodgeball and more. All active duty, reserve and National Guard families with current military ID are invited.

Register at the member services desk or email Allison at AHoot@ ymca-snoco.org to reserve a space.

Car washes: Brown Bear offers free “Bear Essentials” car washes to all current or former members of the military on Nov. 11. See www. brownbear.com for a list of participating tunnel wash locations.

Cabela’s: Cabela’s Tulalip, 9810 Quil Ceda Blvd., offers all veterans, active duty military and reserve,

from Issaquah in 2007 and has about 250 students. Its main building is at 2802 Wetmore Ave., and the school’s main parking garage is across the street. The school also leases two buildings on Hoyt Avenue, one of which is used for student housing.

Plans for the residence hall were set back when Jim Potter, founder of developer Footprint Investments, died in May. A new developer, Koz Development, has taken over the project.

A second hitch recently emerged when a lender for the project worried about limiting the occupancy of the new building to students only, especially if Trinity Lutheran

law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel a 10 percent discount off anything in the store except firearms and 5 percent off firearms, through Nov. 11, as part of a Hometown Heroes Celebration. More info: www.cabelas.com/tulalip.

Olive Garden: Active duty military and veterans with proof of military service can get a free entree from a special menu Nov. 11 at Olive Garden restaurants.

COMMUNITY CEREMONIES Arlington: A Veterans Day Parade starts at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, sponsored

by American Legion Post 76. A POW-MIA ceremony is at 4 p.m. at the Legion Hall, 115 N. Olympic Ave. The Auxiliary serves a free dinner to all veterans from 5-7 p.m. Cost of the dinner to non-veterans is $6. Menu includes ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and rolls.

More info: 360-435-2492.

Edmonds: Edmonds Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8870 and the city of Edmonds hold a Veterans Day observance at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the future Edmonds Veterans Plaza

College didn’t maintain its presence in downtown Everett.

The amended ordinance approved last week addresses that concern by allowing the building to be converted into marketrate housing, assuming that neither Everett Community College nor Washington State University in Everett wanted to take over the residence hall, and that whoever takes over ownership of the building also owns the parking garage.

The conversion would have to be total, so that the building would not have students and renters living side-by-side.

The initial proposal for the residence hall calls for 200-square-foot rooms,

in downtown Edmonds, 250 Fifth Ave. N. Edmonds Mayor David Earling and Fallen Heroes Project artist Michael Reagan are to speak.

Everett: The Snohomish County Central Memorial Committee holds its annual Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the eternal flame on the Snohomish County Courthouse campus, 3000 Rockefeller Ave. Mayor Ray Stephanson is to speak. The Navy chaplain and Everett High School’s Navy Junior ROTC also are to participate.

Mill Creek: The city holds a Veterans Day ceremony at 12 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Veterans Monument in Library Park. 15429 Bothell Everett Highway.

Lynnwood: The Lynnwood Veterans Day ceremony is set for 11 a.m.

Nov. 11 at Veterans Park, 44th Avenue West and Veterans Way (194th Street SW). Veterans of Foreign War Post 1040, Mayor Nicola Smith, and the Northwest Jr. Pipe Band are to participate.

Marysville: The American Legion Post 178 holds a celebration at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the south side of Carr’s Ace Hardware, 1521 Second St., or in case of rain at the post,

along with common areas. The units could have small bathrooms but not full kitchens, Giffen said.

Giffen said the developer’s initial goal of starting construction by January probably won’t be met due to the delays.

The new building would have a small parking garage of its own, but the school plans to use its existing garage to meet the city’s requirements for a minimum of one parking space per unit.

The developer would own the building and the college would lease it with an option to buy.

IN OUR VIEW | Veterans Day

Vets deserve better from us Wednesday, a day after winning re-election to his U.S. House seat, Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., sat in a converted classroom at Everett Community College with about 20 veterans, sharing news of job and education opportunities, help for homeless veterans and an update on reforms at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

But Larsen, like others from Congress who hold similar veterans roundtables, was there more as ombudsman than congressman, listening to veterans, who ranged in conflicts served from the Korean War to Iraq and Afghanistan, most of whom were having difficulty navigating the often exasperating process of applying for a disability rating and obtaining medical care from the VA. Some of the veterans at the roundtable, many with medical needs that need immediate attention, said

they’ve been told they may have to wait as much as two and a half years for a disability rating and treatment.

Another missed a medical appointment required as part of his application — because he had been redeployed to Afghanistan — and was told his application would be sent to the back of the line. Another young veteran said he had to wait 11 months for tests that confirmed he did not have cancer.

Larsen listened and assigned one of three of his staffers to each of the veterans, telling them that the staffers, who include a retired Navy master chief, would “chase it down.” But in many cases, there is little choice but to wait for the VA to work through its backlog of applications and claims.

Two long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have flooded the VA with troops in need of care.

And, Larsen explained, even

old wars, such as Vietnam, continue to add to the burden.

The VA recently has added eligibility for three diseases linked to Agent Orange, adding 200,000 claims to the backlog, Larsen said.

Mismanagement has been responsible, as well, as was seen in the scandal over bogus wait lists that claimed no more 90-day waits for treatment at VA facilities in Phoenix, Arizona and elsewhere.

The mismanagement, at least, is apparently being addressed. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald, a West Point grad and former Proctor & Gamble chief executive, was appointed after the VA scandal forced the resignation of Eric Shinseki. McDonald has promised a long list of reforms, including the firing of as many as 1,000 deadweight agency officials and staffers, increased pay for doctors to fill vacant positions at VA hospitals, a consolidation of more than

a dozen VA websites and a change in the agency’s retaliatory culture.

President Obama has requested in his 2015 budget $163.9 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs, a 6.5 percent increase over the 2014 budget.

There will be pressure to cut from that budget or direct funds away from the VA to private doctors. McDonald told the New York Times such vouchers would be a mistake that would erode funding for the VA’s missions of treatment, research and teaching.

It would also undercut the reforms McDonald is attempting to institute.

During times of war, we hear the common call to support the troops, but we need to remind ourselves and our leaders that supporting the troops demands more than a bumpersticker; it’s a lifelong commitment we make to those who serve and sacrifice.

noted “old soldiers never die they just faded away.” But our WWI veterans history is still a special part of our American culture. It was on Nov. 11, 1919 at exactly 1100 hours, as if a fairy godmother waved her magic wand across the skies of the World War I numerous battlefields, that all the servicemen and women could hear was spooky silence. The Armistice ended the war of poisonous gases! In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemorative of Armistice Day by declaring: “to us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in their heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for victory…” However, it wasn’t until May 13, 1938 that President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill, which made each Nov. 11, a legal holiday — “a date to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as

“Armistice Day.” The Armistice Day holiday name stayed with us until June 1, 1954, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an order proclaiming Armistice Day “November 11 would be called Veterans Day.” For historical reasons, the 1919 day on Nov. 11 was established for us to focus on all veterans; be them Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, or Army veterans. Nov. 11 became the day to celebrate and honor all our veterans for their “patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.”

So what happened to “Armistice Day”? Our Nov. 11 holiday still exists. Except we now call Nov. 11 Veterans Day. Please take the time to say “Thank you for serving” to a veteran you know and also to veterans you don’t personally know.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MEDICAL CARE

Making sure all have basic right “Remote Area Medical” was invited to Seattle and our neighbors to the south had a very big clinic!

Approximately 3,400 people came to the Key Arena Oct. 23-26 for free health care. Medical, vision or dental services were provided by volunteer medical professionals: doctors, nurses, dentists, optometrists, social workers, chiropractors, massage therapists, naturopathics, many general support volunteers, and even trained dogs to help anxious visitors!

I was there as a volunteer registered nurse.

Participants waited anywhere from midnight to 6 a.m. to get free care.

Even after many hours of staying awake, they found it possible to say, “Thank you for this care ... and for volunteering”!

Most marginalized people in the U.S. lack health care.

Many others have insurance, work at one or more jobs, have mental illness ... but can’t access health care with the high deductibles and high copays. In other words, they can’t afford to use their health insurance! These were some of the individuals I saw.

Community Health clinics have low fees but dental or vision care are usually not offered, are unaffordable to most, even with insurance, and yet, are essential for health and to function in life.

We can do so much better as a nation and state by making sure everyone has the human right of affordable health care.

Please say thanks to our veterans For those of us over 50 years old, we might ask: “What ever happened to Armistice Day?” Armistice holiday came about due to the ending of the “Great War,” “The War To End All Wars,” “The Doughboy War” or World War I.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Domestic violence prevention

Join in effort against domestic violence

By Bob Ferguson

I

am the father of 6-year-old twins. My wife, Colleen, and I want to raise a son who respects women, and a daughter who lives in a world where she is respected and free from violence.

In September 2014, NFL football star Ray Rice’s assault on his then-fiance, captured on video, received significant media attention and brought to national awareness the unfortunate prevalence of domestic violence in our society.

The statistics are sobering.

An estimated 1 in 4 women experience rape, physical assault or stalking in the context of a relationship or a date.

The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 35 people were killed in Washington state last year as a result of domestic violence.

Overwhelmingly, these tragedies are the result of men’s violence against women. They include a woman strangled and beaten by her boyfriend and a mother murdered by her daughter’s ex-boyfriend.

These are our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.

When violence against women makes the headlines, people often ask: “Why does she stay?” But this question wrongly places the burden on the victim. It is time to stop asking “why does she stay?” and instead ask “why is he violent?”

I am committed to leading an office that works to eliminate violence against women. Our work with stakeholders has helped pass legislation to punish offenders and empower survivors. We dedicate grant dollars to local advocacy organizations that provide services to survivors in rural communities. Our

work will continue.

We can all do our part. Speak up when someone tells inappropriate jokes or stories. If you learn your female friends or family members are experiencing violence, let them know you are there to help.

Teach your children to respect themselves and others. Do not tolerate domestic violence.

Together we can make a difference for the women in our lives. When women live without fear, our whole society benefits.

Bob Ferguson is attorney general of the state of Washington.

Ink and paper do much that digital can’t

I

nteresting that the tech website CNET has started publishing an old-fashioned print magazine — you know, on paper, like Time and Life. To complete the retro circle, CNET’s periodical is carrying ads for Ford, Gillette and other brands already at home in the “Mad Men” era.

But wasn’t the digital technology that CNET touts supposed to do away with paper? Parent company CBS InteracFROMA HARROP tive explains the seeming contradiction: The magazine simply gives people yet another way to get at CNET’s wares.

Seems there’s still something special about paper. After all, Wired magazine, aimed at the techno-literate, has always put out a paper edition — and a handsome one at that.

The Web is just electrical signals in the air. Paper is real estate. A paper magazine is an object that won’t vanish with a keyboard click or if the battery dies. At the airport newsstand, it announces its existence to all who pass by.

As a platform, paper is “portable, accessible and affordable,” a story about CNET’s magazine cutely notes.

Studies suggest that paper is better than a screen for reading comprehension and retaining information. We also read faster on paper.

Why? Our brains regard text as a “tangible part of the physical world,” Ferris Jabr writes in Scientific American. Books have a topography that screens don’t.

“Turning the pages of a paper book is like leaving one footprint after another on the trail — there’s a rhythm to it and a visible record of how far one has traveled,” Jabr writes.

And he quotes Anne Mangen, a researcher at the University of Stavanger in Norway, as follows: “The ease with which you can find out the beginning, end and everything inbetween and the constant connection to your path ... might be some way of making it less taxing cognitively, so you have more free capacity for comprehension.”

An article in The New York Times focuses on the debate over reading stories to children off a tablet screen versus out of a paper book. Don’t screens offer a superior experience? After all, Elmo and Grover talk and jump around on screens.

They stay put on paper.

The conclusion among child development experts is that paper is better.

A study at Temple University finds that young children comprehend more than when read to from a screen. It may have something to do with the gadget’s getting more of the attention than the literature.

And forget about putting the kid in charge of the iPad. The back-and-forth conversation with the elders is what helps children develop, experts say.

Another concern is that children’s e-books may come embedded with games and other distractions — just like adult e-books.

On the subject of paper’s special powers, there’s a wildly popular show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art More on — of paper Matisse cutouts no more comSee examples of Henri plicated, Matisse’s paper cuttechniouts at the Museum of cally, than Modern Art’s website at paper dolls. www.moma.org/ It helps, of interactives/exhibitions/ course, that 2014/matisse/. the guy with the scissors is an artistic genius named Henri Matisse.

Matisse cut simple shapes of swimming women, dolphins, sea plants and other forms from pieces of paper painted in bright solid colors. He then pinned or pasted them onto paper or a canvas in arrangements neither you nor I would ever have thought of. (You can see the pinholes and places where the paper tore.)

The exhibition includes this looping movie of old Matisse in his studio wielding a big pair of scissors and showing his svelte female assistants — oddly, in evening dresses and high heels — where to place them.

Most famous for his oil paintings, Matisse spent his last years cutting paper shapes. There’s something special about paper.

Ribbiting into Ripley’s Edmonds’ Thayer Cueter, aka ‘The Frog Lady,’ lands in new Believe It or Not! book

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Don’t come knockin’ if this van’s a hoppin’.

You might have seen Thayer Cueter’s frogmobile bopping down the highway or parked in a quiet subdivision and wondered “What’s up with that?”

The ’78 VW Transporter is painted frog-inspired green and festooned with hoppy sayings.

The van is how she, with the help of a stuffed Kermit buddy or six, transports thousands of her real and toy friends on her mission to save the declining frog and toad population. Turtles, lizards and bugs tag along for the ride.

The Edmond’s woman’s obsession of amphibians landed her in the new Ripley’s Believe it or Not!: “Reality Shock!”

“As far as I know I’m the only frog lady crazy enough to pull this off,” she said. “I’m on page 176.”

Yep, there she is, last graph on the right. Her six lines of fame read: “Thayer Cueter (aka The Frog Lady) of Edmonds, Washington State, has built up a collection of over 10,000 items of frog-related memorabilia, including 400 Kermit the Frog toys, 490 plush frog toys and 20 different pairs of frog pajamas.”

This isn’t a book for amateur eccentrics. Others in the pages include a 56-yearold grandma with 18-inch fingernails, a man who lives with a pack of wolves, a Vegas bartender who can make 1,559 different cocktails in an hour, and a mouse that skateboards.

The Frog Lady had no idea she was in the Ripley’s book until media started calling her. Turns out Ripley’s scouts discovered her through a blurb in a British paper.

On this side of the pond, Cueter is president of Just

Q&A with the Edward Meyer, Ripley’s gatekeeper of the truly bizarre You’ve got to be truly odd to get into the pages of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Edward Meyer, vice president of Ripley’s Exhibits & Archives, is the one who finds all the kinky stuff. Here’s a Q&A with Meyer: Question: How did you find The Frog Lady?

Answer: Ripley Publishing has a team of researchers who keep an eye out for

strange, unusual and odd stories; this one was discovered in a newspaper in the UK. Q: How do you select others in your book? What is your standard of bizarre?

A: The stories must be true, unusual, odd, bizarre and have an element of the “wow” factor, such as “Wow! Can you believe a woman has collected 10,000 frog-related items!?”

Q: Can people nominate themselves?

If so, how?

A: Absolutely. People can nominate themselves by writing directly to meyer@ripleys.com or contacting us through our web page at www.Ripleys. com. They can also mail material to Edward Meyer, Ripley Entertainment Inc., 7576 Kingspointe Parkway, Suite 188, Orlando, Florida, 32819.

any women deal with uncomfortable symptoms before each monthly period. When the changes impact daily functioning, the condition is called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Common symptoms include breast tenderness, fluid retention, headaches, mood swings, irritability, depression, trouble making decisions, and difficulty concentrating.

While there’s no panacea, women can choose from a variety of options to ease PMS. Lifestyle solutions. Eat a low fat, high fiber diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Limit intake of sugar, salt,

DR. ELIZABETH SMOOTS caffeine and alcohol. Exercise regularly. Get adequate rest and relaxation.

Medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, which are available over-the-counter, may

ease aches, pains and cramps. In some cases your health care provider may prescribe a hormone pill, antidepressant drug for severe mood changes, or diuretic for fluid retention and bloating.

Alternative remedies. Try to consume foods rich in vitamin B6 and calcium, two nutrients that may help alleviate PMS, according to research. The evidence is especially strong for calcium; one study showed a 48 percent reduction in PMS symptoms. Foods that contain calcium include dairy products, seafood, beans and leafy green vegetables. Good sources of vitamin B6 include See SMOOTS, Page B5

Feeling good after climbing off the packaged food train

By Tim Herrera The Washington Post

I have, on more than one occasion, eaten an entire pizza by myself. Like, recently. These moments are not my proudest, but here we are.

Between May and August this year, I ordered pizza delivery for dinner an average of seven times per month. I ordered Italian an average of three times monthly, and healthy (?) helpings of noodles another three.

Lunch burritos were a ritual.

My fridge was packed with flavored yogurt, beer, greasy

leftovers and half-empty bottles of ranch dressing and Frank’s RedHot. My afternoon snack was a handful of fun-size candy on sale (using the honor system) at my office; breakfast, if I ate it, was usually a bowl of yogurt laced with honey.

So I was more than interested when a co-worker told me she was about to go on Whole30, a 30-day “food cleanse” in which you eat nothing but unprocessed, unrefined, sugar-free food, while also cutting out entire food groups such as dairy

DAILY CROSSWORD

No set rules surrounding ‘first kiss’ Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi Carolyn!

I started seeing a guy I really like talking to, but I’m not sure about the physical aspect. Until this week, I had never been in a relationship or even kissed anyone.

Last night I went to his house for dinner and he ended up going from zero to making out (complete with copious tongue). I didn’t enjoy it, but I didn’t stop him because I thought, “Well, I guess this is what one does.” I did stop some roving hands, though.

Today I just feel gross about it and about myself, and not super-excited to see him again. What’s driving me crazy is that I don’t know: Am I uncomfortable because this is a very new situation and I don’t know what I’m doing, or is this guy genuinely not a good fit for me?

I’m worried that I’m either going to shut down this whole relationship because I’m freaked out, or go to the other extreme and do things I really don’t like because I feel like I should. Can you help straighten out my thinking?

When he walked me out to my car, he gave me a quick kiss goodnight, and I was like, “Oh, that I liked.” — Kissed in GA This is as much reassurance as advice: It’s OK to say, “Wait, whoa,

It just means you learn and take it from there.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT stop — I need to go really slowly.”

It is not oversimplifying to say that anyone who doesn’t immediately respect that gets scratched off your list.

And there’s no “should” for things you don’t like.

We all have issues on which we’re flexible, and others on which we can’t be. It’s a big world: Someone out there will understand and accommodate.

Where the trouble lies is in being rigid where it suits us to be flexible and flexible when we need to be rigid.

You, because of who you are, need someone patient. No budging — unless and until you’re eager to budge. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself. If you err in, say, “shut[ting] down this whole relationship because I’m freaked out,” that’s not the end of the world.

Carolyn: I’m almost 50. I would feel very strange asking to slow the pace. I would feel like I have to explain why it’s been a decade-plus.

Thoughts?

The older you are, I hope, the less pressure to explain yourself, though you’re not obligated to at any age.

You know yourself. That’s the only justification you need.

For Kissed: I was 24 or 25 when I had my first kiss. What I looked for, feeling so inexperienced, was a person with whom I could be honest: “This is new to me, I feel a bit weird going through this the first time at my age.” “I do like you, but I need to pace things.” I would rather have scared him off than been with the wrong partner. Once he understood where I was coming from, I was able to stop things at any point I was uncomfortable. I felt respected and valued.

Tell woman you don’t want to marry her Dear Abby: I am a widower and am dating a divorcee. We have been together for about 18 months. She says she loves me and wants to get married. I like her and enjoy her company, but that is it. I also have no desire to marry, or live with anyone, again.

I would like to end it and let her continue in her search for a husband, but every time I try to do it she cries. How can I tell her I am not the one? — Not the One in Wisconsin Dear Not the One: You and this lady have very different objectives.

I assume that if she has burst into tears she has already gotten your message. My advice is instead of repeating it, to stop calling her. However, if you feel that to achieve closure there must be a face-to-face conversation, approach it with a large box of tissues in your hand and repeat what you have written to me.

Dear Abby: I had weight-loss surgery three years ago. I am down 100 pounds and feel great.

I’m new in the dating game and wonder if I’m supposed to disclose that I was previously 100 pounds overweight. Is it any of their business, or do I not address the topic? — Less of Me in California Dear Less is More: I don’t think your health history needs to be announced right from the “git-go.” As people date, get to know each other, become comfortable and eventually intimate, more and more information is revealed.

“You two would communicate better if you were whales,” I sighed.

“Communication?” Wendy sniffed. “To a woman, it’s the honest sharing of feelings and ideas. To a man, it’s scratching out a note before leaving for a weekend with the boys.”

Wendy and Cy had communication trouble as East-West.

South won the next spade with the queen and let the nine of diamonds ride. Cy won and led a club; he had no more spades. South won, forced out the ace of diamonds and claimed, making three.

“Who was non-communicative then?” Cy sneered.

South’s spades should be A-10-9, so Wendy must play low on the first spade, forcing South to win and keeping communication. If South goes to dummy to finesse in diamonds, Cy wins and leads his last spade, and

Many experts would make a negative double, showing — by agreement — hearts but a hand unsuitable to bid two hearts. They would bid more later.

Foo Fighters’ latest is a worthwhile trip

Foo Fighters, “Sonic Highways” (RCA Records) Twenty years into their career as one of the leading rock bands in the world, Foo Fighters continue to find ways to challenge both themselves and their listeners.

On “Sonic Highways,”

The Herald’s front page carried a picture of David Cameron and Louise Lindgren, chairman and project coordinator of the Snohomish County Centennial Committee.

The yearlong event would provide what they called a “lasting legacy” to help understand the state’s next 100 years.

A Herald article explained alternatives to taking waste to dumps for burning. Many materials, including large stumps, could be taken to recycling centers. Some communities now had transfer stations and landfills. Organic materials could be composted on site.

By Jack O’Donnell from Herald archives from the Everett Public Library.

a companion to the similarly named HBO television series, the Dave Grohl-fronted band, with assistance from producer Butch Vig, tasked itself with touching down in eight U.S. cities, exploring each town’s music history, and then writing and recording a song in that city influenced by what they discovered, often accompanied by a native son or daughter.

To its credit, the band avoids gimmickry. For example, in New Orleans, it recorded the mid-tempo “In The Clear” with the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, but no one will

mistake the tune for a typical Crescent City brass band parade. Instead, each city’s elements are incorporated into the Foo Fighters’ sound.

That’s not to say they didn’t find inventive ways to salute each locale. On the album’s best track, the thoughtful, driving “Congregation,” which features Zac Brown and was recorded at his Southern Ground studio in Nashville, the lyrics include “singing like a bluebird in the round,” a reference to famous songwriter venue, Bluebird Cafe. On the aggressive power pop of “What Did I Do/God As My Witness,” recorded in

Pink Floyd, “The Endless River” (Columbia Records) Never was an album more aptly named than “The Endless River,” the

new — and seemingly final — release from Pink Floyd.

It flows unstoppably, and while some listeners may feel it meanders on too long, it’s very easy to get swept along by it.

Though this is the band’s first studio album in two decades, much of the material was recorded in 1993 and 1994. For years, it seemed that album would be Pink Floyd’s swan song. But now the material has been tweaked into a new

release, partly in tribute to keyboard player Rick Wright, who died in 2008.

Guitarist David Gilmour has called “The Endless River” a series of musical conversations; the band members’ musical rapport was always more eloquent than their spoken communications. There are not many words on this mostly instrumental album, although physicist Stephen Hawking lends his distinctive voice to “Talkin’ Hawkin’.”

Both the compositions

and their titles allude to all the water that has passed under the bridge in the course of Pink Floyd’s long career. The opening track, “Things Left Unsaid,” sets the tone: It’s a woozy wash of Wright’s keyboards, haunting horn sounds and Gilmour’s guitar that feels elegiac.

What’s on display is not so much songwriting as chemistry. This band had something, a magic, and you can hear it throughout.

Pink Floyd says goodbye with ‘The Endless River’

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Intricate detail was a fascinating trait in paintings by Peter Fortune of Snohomish. Many paintings by Fortune and his former and current students were now in a show at the Black and King Galleries in Everett.

Also in the show were two miniatures, an art form of Fortune’s that was becoming more popular.

After being a prominent fixture in downtown Marysville for well over 20 years, the big neon double-ice cream cone sign was coming down.

The malt shop was being dismantled and would become an addition to the stationery store operated by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Davis at State and Third streets.

Be sure to discuss treatment benefits and risks with your physician.

What is pleurisy?

Inflammation of the outer covering of your lungs and the lining of your chest cavity is called pleurisy. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection in your pleura. Other causative factors may include pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, blood clots, broken ribs or almost any injury or disorder in your chest.

The condition has several different forms. In dry pleurisy, your pleura will swell and painfully rub with each breath. In wet pleurisy, water or fluid accumulates between your lungs and the chest wall, which may keep your lungs from expanding fully with air.

In either situation, pleurisy commonly causes sharp or stabbing chest pains with each breath or movement of your chest wall. The pains are especially severe with a deep breath, cough or sneeze.

Along with shallow and difficult breathing, other symptoms of pleurisy may include coughing,

weakness, headache and loss of appetite, as well as chills, fever and a rapid pulse rate.

See your health care provider at once if you have symptoms of pleurisy. Once an evaluation has excluded dangerous chest conditions, treatment may help relieve some of your symptoms.

Common remedies include medicine to limit coughing and sneezing, and pain pills or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen to control pain. It’s also essential to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

In the past, pleurisy often became a painful chronic or recurrent condition. Our grandparents treated pleurisy with mustard plasters, cupping, flaxseed poultices and other home remedies.

Today, early diagnosis and treatment may help prevent some of the prolonged aftermath and complications associated with the more severe forms of pleurisy.

Frogs: Going frog wild From Page B1

and grains (and booze).

My relationship with food has never been what one would call healthy, so a chance to hit the reset button? I’m listening.

The point of Whole30, which was founded by Melissa Hartwig in 2009, is to “end unhealthy cravings and habits, restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, and balance your immune system,” its promotional materials say. Whether that’s what actually happens physiologically, who knows. Everyone’s selling something.

But after completing a 30-day run — without cheating, for the record — I can say it’s a life-changing, bodychanging wonder of experimental trendy dieting. (With maybe a dash of Placebo effect thrown in there.)

Emotional eaters (like me) use food to augment an emotional state.

Bad day? Get a calzone and a Kit Kat. Feeling great? Get a calzone and a Kit Kat. This was both my comfort system and my reward system growing up, and it continued into adulthood.

So the immediate result of

hoppily ever after.

Cueter has been keen on green since day one. “I was born on St. Patrick’s Day,” she said.

Frogs were among her BFFs. “I grew up playing with and raising them as a young child in Michigan. I thought they were really cool. I kept going.”

You might say she went frog wild.

Andrea Brown: 425-339-3443; abrown@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @reporterbrown.

removing all pleasure foods from my diet after a lifetime of eating mostly pleasure foods is that, surprise, I thought a lot about pleasure foods.

Two days into my Whole30, which I began in mid-September with a coworker and my girlfriend, the sight of a Snickers made me desperate for it. The cravings got worse before they got better, and after about two weeks I was actually dreaming about eating donuts and candy.

This seems to be a common side effect; Whole30’s Web site even says it may happen.

But about a week in, things started happening to my body that hadn’t happened in years. I woke up easier and felt less groggy in the morning.

My afternoon fade at the office began disappearing. Coffee became less of a necessity, and I didn’t collapse from exhaustion the moment I got home.

As the weeks went on, I started to look a little slimmer in the mirror.

“You look so skinny now!” my girlfriend would say. In the month and a half since I started, I’ve lost 15 pounds, and two full inches off my waist.

My best friend became zoodles — a wonderful foodstuff that is simply zucchinis in the shape of noodles made with a spiralizer — and, making my mother particularly happy,

by Arnies Restaurant in Edmonds.

I finally learned to cook and made almost every one of my meals.

I just felt ... good. And not ... bad.

Which was different and wonderful.

By week three, I was cruising, sugar cravings gone and cooking game sharp. I could whip up a Whole30-friendly chicken pad thai for four in 35 minutes flat while driving you nuts with a speech about how fantastic I felt. I darted around my office with boundless energy that last from morning to night.

Then week four came. The end was in sight, but a new dread was appearing: How does one go back to normal eating after this? That idea gave me more anxiety than anything leading up to embarking on this.

Am I betraying my body by going back to a normal diet? Have I earned the right to eat pizza again after a cleanse? Am I going to completely miss pumpkin beer season?

I never settled on an easy answer, and still haven’t. I’m in limbo; if you offered me a piece of candy corn, I’d probably say no, but if it’s the weekend (say, one in which a yearly costume-themed holiday falls), all bets are off. Where I’ll eventually land, who knows.

I should probably figure that out.

Maybe over a slice of pizza.

Sounders stay alive

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

The Sounders’ Obafemi Martins (9) looks for a pass from teammate Clint Dempsey (2) during the first half of Monday night’s match against FC Dallas at CenturyLink Field.

Sounders take care of business, move on to next goal on their list

S

EATTLE — All along, this season has been about goals beyond what the Seattle Sounders have accomplished in a so-far impressive 2014 campaign.

So it was appropriate that after clinching the second Western Conference final berth in franchise history, players and coaches celebrated about as much as they would after a regular-season victory.

“Our expectation is to win the MLS Cup, so anything less than that and we’re not satisfied,” said defender DeAndre Yedlin. “So that’s why it was kind of chill after the game.”

A 0-0 tie was enough for the

top-seeded Sounders to squeak past No. 4 seed FC Dallas Monday night at CenturyLink Field to advance to the Western Conference finals because of the away-goals tiebreaker in aggregate-goal playoff series (Seattle and Dallas tied 1-1 in Dallas last week). And that is no small accomplishment in Major League Soccer, a league in which playoff upsets have become the norm in recent years. But while the Sounders should feel good about holding off a dangerous Dallas squad, they also absolutely had to have this result if 2014 wasn’t going to abruptly go from a season of unprecedented

JOHN BOYLE accomplishments to one of huge disappointment in the span of 90 minutes.

“In order to win MLS Cup, you’ve got to get into the next series, and that’s what we did,” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. “... We have to keep moving along. It’s a journey.”

Make no mistake, winning the Supporters’ Shield, the trophy given to the MLS team with the See BOYLE, Page C4

Sounders battle to 0-0 draw with FC Dallas, advance to MLS Western Conference Finals because of MLS’s road-goals tie-breaker

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Major League Soccer’s new road-goals tie-breaker worked out just fine for Seattle Sounders FC, who advanced to the Western Conference final despite not outscoring FC Dallas in either match of their two-legged series.

Seahawks’ Mebane sidelined with hamstring injury Safety Chancellor, linebacker Smith expected to play against Chiefs

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane is sidelined an indefinite period of time after pulling a hamstring muscle in Sunday’s game.

RENTON — One day and a lengthy film review later, Pete Carroll was still jazzed over his team’s record-setting steam rolling of the New York Giants.

“Really liked this game,” the Seahawks’ head coach said Monday, one day after Seattle (6-3) set a team record with 350 yards rushing in its 38-17 victory, the team’s third consecutive win.

“This game really shows some really strong traits about competitiveness and toughness and finish, stuff that we really take a lot of pride in.

“I think we take three weeks here in a row that we really are pleased with the progress we’re making.”

They are going to need even more of those traits and that progress for this weekend’s rugged

test at Kansas City (6-3). Especially after Monday’s news that run-stopping, blocker-devouring defensive tackle Brandon Mebane is out indefinitely with a “really legit” pulled hamstring, to use the coach’s words.

“He’s out for a while,” Carroll said.

That likely also means next week’s game at home against NFC West-leading Arizona (8-1).

The Chiefs have the NFL’s fifthranked rushing offense at 135.8 yards per game behind All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles and a big, plowing offensive line.

But strong safety Kam Chancellor and outside linebacker Malcolm Smith are returning to practice on Wednesday, Carroll said. Each has missed Seattle’s last two games with groin injuries.

Chancellor, in particular, is a thudding force against the run,

though he has also been playing with bone spurs in his ankles.

It’s becoming apparent that the Seahawks held Chancellor out of the last two wins over Oakland and the Giants to get him ready to play these next six games.

After the Chiefs and Cardinals, the Seahawks play Thanksgiving night at San Francisco then at Philadelphia, home against the 49ers and at Arizona.

Carroll said Bobby Wagner will begin running this week for the first time since he injured a turftoe ligament during the loss to Dallas on Oct. 12.

“Bobby’s taking a big step forward. We’ll find out what that means,” Carroll said.

“Bobby will have a really active workout all throughout this week.”

Still, it seems unlikely the

The Calgary Hitmen fancied themselves as contenders this season, and Greg Chase was going to lead the way.

But now, if the Hitmen are to contend, they’ll have to do so without Chase.

Calgary’s star forward is no longer in the picture after he requested a trade and was sent home by the team last week.

Chase was a healthy scratch for Calgary’s game last Tuesday at Saskatoon for what was described as on-ice discipline issues. Then on Wednesday, the Hitmen announced Chase had requested a trade and returned to his home in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Calgary tallied 103 points last season to finish tied with eventual league champion Edmonton for first in the Eastern Conference. A big chunk of that team returned this season including Chase, a 19-year-old center who last season tied for the team lead with 85 points (35

goals, 50 assists).

However, things haven’t gone smoothly for the Hitmen this season. They’re currently tied for second in the Central Division, but with a modest 10-8-0-2 record.

Meanwhile, something hasn’t been right with Chase.

A seventh-round pick by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2013 NHL draft, Chase reportedly had an excellent training camp with the Oilers. But once he returned to Calgary, his production dropped as he managed just two goals and 13 assists in his first 15 games with the Hitmen.

“I don’t know if it’s been building,” Hitmen general manager Mike Moore told the Calgary Herald. “Greg has been a very good hockey player for us. He obviously had a great season for us last year with a lot of points. Sometimes things just don’t work out. And sometimes a change with both parties is sometimes necessary. It’s not the first time it’s happened in the game. It’s unfortunate.

“But we’ll move forward and

Greg will move forward once I get a deal done.”

When that trade will get done is uncertain. Moore said he’s in no rush to make a deal. But Chase is the type of player who could make a big difference to a team looking to be a contender. With the Hitmen likely reluctant to trade Chase to an Eastern Conference rival, there’s a good bet he’ll be joining one of the better Western Conference teams sometime in the future.

Around the WHL Tri-City made a splash in the trade market by acquiring 20-year-old Czech forward Richard Nejezchleb from Brandon for third-round picks in the 2015 and 2017 bantam drafts.

Nejezchleb, who led the Wheat Kings in goals last season, counts as both an overager and an import.

Therefore, the Americans released 20-year-old forward Jackson Playfair and 17-year-old Russian forward Semyon Krasheninnikov to make room. Playfair was subsequently picked up by Spokane, who in turn released 20-year-old forward Connor Chartier. … Bolton Pouliot’s stay with Portland proved to be a short one as the 20-year-old goaltender,

Abreu, deGrom win Rookie of the Year awards Associated Press NEW YORK — Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu was a unanimous winner of the AL Rookie of the Year award, and New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom won the NL honor.

One year after defecting from Cuba, the 27-year-old Abreu led the major leagues with a .581 slugging percentage. He was sixth in batting at .317, tied for fourth in home runs with 36 and fifth in RBI with 107.

Abreu received all 30 first place votes for 150 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

DeGrom received 26 of 30 first-place votes and 142 points.

Speedy Cincinnati outfielder Billy Hamilton was second with four firsts and 92 points.

DeGrom went 0-4 with a 4.39 ERA in his first seven starts, then won at Miami with seven scoreless innings on June 21.

He went on to win nine of his last 11 decisions, compiling a 1.99 ERA, and finished 9-6 with a 2.69 ERA.

MARINERS | Notebook

Reports say M’s interested in free-agent shortstop Ramirez

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

Cross outfielder/first baseman Michael Cuddyer off the Seattle Mariners’ off-season shopping list. Cuddyer is heading to the New York Mets after agreeing Monday to a free-agent deal for $21 million over two years.

The Mets will also lose their first-round pick, which was No. 15 overall, in next year’s draft as the penalty for signing a player who received a one-year qualifying offer of $15.3 million from his former club.

The Mariners appeared very interested in Cuddyer — at least before Colorado extended its qualifying offer. The Rockies will now get a pick between the first and second rounds in compensation for losing Cuddyer.

Surrendering their first-round pick isn’t, from all appearances, deterring the Mariners from pursuing two other free-agent targets: DH/first baseman Victor Martinez and shortstop Hanley Ramirez.

The Mariners have been linked to Martinez for several weeks, but their apparent interest in

Ramirez didn’t surface until general managers began gathering this week in Phoenix for their annual meetings.

The rumor mill typically accelerates during the GM meetings, which often set the stage for trades and free-agent signings that occur next month at the Winter Meetings or later in the off-season.

Martinez, who turns 36 in December, is believed to be seeking a four-year deal at $60 million or more. That doesn’t mean he’ll get it, although some analysts believe the bidding could push it higher.

Detroit made a qualifying offer and appears determined to keep Martinez, while several other clubs, including Toronto and the Chicago White Sox, are showing interest.

Ramirez, who turns 31 in December, made $16 million this season and is believed to be seeking a deal in excess of $100 million after rejecting a qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Many analysts believe his price will drop because clubs will be reluctant to meet those

terms and lose a high draft pick.

Dodgers ready to deal The Dodgers are determined to trim their surplus of outfielders by trading at least one of three highpriced veterans: Matt Kemp, Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier.

The Mariners had significant interest in Kemp, 30, in the past, but the sticking point was always his contract — and he is still owed $107 million over the next five years.

That might no longer be a deal-killer.

Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reports the Dodgers are “willing to include anything from no money to significant money depending upon return” in a deal involving any of the three.

Interest in Hart Former Mariners outfielder/first baseman Corey Hart is “getting a lot of hits” on the free-agent market, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.

Hart, 32, labored through an injury-filled year while batting .203 with six homers and 21 RBI in 68 games.

He signed last December with the Mariners after missing all of 2013 because of two knee surgeries.

Braves’ Gattis available Atlanta is looking to deal outfielder/catcher Evan Gattis, according to Joel Sherman of The New York Post

and others.

Gattis, 28, fits the profile — a righthanded hitter with pop — of what the Mariners are seeking. He hit 43 homers over the last two years.

Saunders on market Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik is expected to try to gauge trade interest in outfielder Michael Saunders over the next few days.

Saunders, who turns 28 later this month, is a left-handed hitter who doesn’t appear to fit with the club’s future plans. Even so, club officials believe Saunders has value; nothing suggests they are looking to just dump him.

CY Young countdown Mariners ace Felix Hernandez will learn Wednesday whether he will win the American League’s Cy Young Award for the second time in five years.

Hernandez is generally viewed as a favorite for the award after being selected by his peers (the Players Choice Award) and league executives (The Sporting News) as the AL’s top pitcher.

The other finalists are Cleveland’s Corey Kluber and Chicago’s Chris Sale.

The Cy Young Award is determined by a vote of 30-member panels from Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Balloting took place prior to the start of post-season play.

Jackson’s dynamic duo As freshmen, Nicole Limberg and Maddie Pressler accounted for four top-5 finishes at state last season. This year, they are looking to do even better.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — The thing about freshmen athletes is, coaches are never quite sure what to expect.

But at the Class 4A state swimming and diving championships a year ago, Jackson High School coach Drew Whorley got a most pleasant surprise.

Freshman Nicole Limberg reached the finals in both the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 breaststroke, and came away with a pair of fifth-place finishes.

Freshman Maddie Pressler was even better, taking fifth in the 100 backstroke and winning the 200 freestyle.

With Limberg and Pressler again ready to lead the Timberwolves into this year’s state meet, Whorley says he will no longer be surprised by his now-sophomore tandem.

“These kids know how much I believe in them,” he said. “I was surprised last year to see Maddie do what she did. And then to have two freshmen with four top-five finishes, that’s pretty good.

“I believe, and I hope they believe as well, that they’re now really capable of doing anything they choose. Because they’re exceptional athletes.”

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Jackson High School swimmers Nicole Limberg (left) and Maddie Pressler accounted for four top-five finishes at last year’s Class 4A state meet.

Like any other pair of superbly talented teammates, Limberg and Pressler seem to encourage and inspire each other.

“They’ve come up together, they train together, they’ve pushed each other and they’ve seen each other have success,” Whorley said.

Limberg and Pressler each will swim two individual events and two relays at this year’s state meet, which runs Friday and Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. As she did last year, Limberg will swim the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke, along with the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. Pressler will

be in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, and the same two relays.

Limberg says she is hopeful of improving on last year’s finishes. “I definitely want to get in the top three,” she said, “but I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”

Pressler, meanwhile, would love to repeat her 2013 victory. The experience of winning a year ago was, she said, “surreal. I didn’t expect it because there were other swimmers there that I’d known previously. They were really good and it was kind of intimidating. I was this little freshman in this big heat of juniors and seniors.”

According to Whorley,

Limberg and Pressler have differing personalities, but they both share a strong determination to excel.

“Nicole is extremely competitive,” he said. “I don’t think she’s aware of any limits on herself. And technically, her breaststroke is one of the prettiest breaststrokes that I’ve ever seen. I don’t deserve any credit for that. Her coaches over the years have built great technique with her, and she can just get up and go.”

Pressler, meanwhile, “has a very, very natural feel for the water,” he said.

“When she decides to apply appropriate force in the right direction … she can find this other gear like very few athletes I’ve ever coached. There’s a desire, a will and a competitive drive that seems to often separate her from her competition. It’s this intangible, this thing that can’t really be trained.”

To be an excellent swimmer, he added, “you’ve got to have the training, you’ve got to have excellent stroke technique, and you’ve got to have the mind of a (champion). And with those three components, these two athletes are special.”

If they can put it all together at state, Whorley said, “then I think we’re going to have a tremendous weekend.”

Ella Schroth Mountlake Terrace | Girls Cross Country Schroth, a junior, placed 11th in the 3A girls race with a time of 18:37.60 to help the Hawks to a second-place team finish at the state cross country meet.

best regular-season record, is a huge deal. Being the best team over a 34-game season that spans eight months is a significant accomplishment, especially in sport in which top leagues around the world crown their champion without a postseason. But for a franchise that has been to the playoffs in each of its first five seasons without ever advancing to an MLS Cup final, surviving the playoff crapshoot is a must this year.

Already the 2014 season has been one of unprecedented success for the Sounders, who overhauled the roster in response to a disastrous finish to the 2013 season that saw them nearly tailspin out of the playoff picture at the end of the year, only to make it to the postseason in order the suffer the indignity of elimination at the hand of the hated Portland Timbers.

Some added talent, some addition by subtraction and some much-improved team chemistry helped the 2014 Sounders win a fourth U.S. Open Cup in six seasons, as well as a the club’s first Supporters’ Shield. So yes, the Sounders undeniably accomplished a lot this season regardless of Monday’s result. But this is the year the pressure was so palpable on a chilly November night not just because of the playoff intensity between the two teams, but because the pressure in on this franchise to put the only acceptable finishing touch on an already impressive season by winning a

scoreless draw, and Dallas would have advanced with a multi-goal draw.

Despite the conflicting scenarios, both teams played aggressively from the opening whistle. Play went quickly from end to end, and both teams had chances through the scoreless first half.

The best of the chances may have belonged to the Sounders, and Clint Dempsey put two shots on goal that were saved by Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz, and Chad Marshall put a header on goal that

middle linebacker will play at Kansas City.

“We’re dying to get him back out there. He’s a legit championship, starting player but we will see how it goes,” Carroll said. “Getting Malcolm back is a boost to us, gives us some flexibility and some things that we can do. But we would love to get Bobby back out there.

“He’s getting close.”

Seattle has been using outside linebacker K.J. Wright and, for the last two starts, undrafted rookie Brock Coyle at middle linebacker while in the last month Wagner has gone from crutches to a walking boot to now poised to run.

Rookie linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has emerged in the last three games as a speedy pass rusher and coverage man all over the field in nickel packages. As impressive as the fourthround draft choice from Boston College has been, Carroll said the Seahawks want to keep Pierre-Louis’ role limited to the fivedefensive back packages for now so as not to overwhelm the rookie.

Guard James Carpenter is “a long shot” to play at Kansas City, Carroll said, because of the ankle he

championship.

The Sounders might not have had to sweat this one out if not for the heroics of Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz, who made several spectacular saves, including one in each half that denied what looked to be sure Clint Dempsey goals.

Dallas also kept Seattle off the scoreboard in the first half when Michel cleared a Chad Marshall header off the line. But maybe it was appropriate that Seattle didn’t get the goals, and therefore had to survive those incredibly tense final moments. As much as this season has been about the dynamic playmaking of Dempsey and Obafemi Martins, and the incredible defensive work of newcomer Marshall, it has been defined by the perseverance of this group that made early-season comebacks a regular occurrence. And that allowed the Sounders to overcome a few miniswoons without repeating last year’s collapse.

“Our character and perseverance earlier in the season was shown a lot through our ability to sometimes go down and come back and get goals,” Schmid said. “... That was really our character. Then it was, ‘well they’re taking too many goals.’ So today was a different test of character.

Can we defend? Can we be disciplined in that regard? I think we showed that.”

So while a blowout like the one Sunday that got the L.A. Galaxy, Seattle’s Western Conference final opponent, through to the next round might have been more fun for the 38,912 in attendance, a frantic final 10 minutes of Marshall and Zach Scott throwing their bodies

around the box to win headers was perhaps a more appropriate means of advancement for this team.

Adding to the drama, as well as possibly the challenge going forward, was that midfielder Osvaldo Alonso, one of Seattle’s most important players this season and in the previous five, left the game in the 56th minute with a hamstring injury. While Osvaldo’s position is midfield, few players are more important to the team’s defense than him, so trying to close out a shutout with him on the sideline is no easy task. But once again, and the Sounders hope not for the last time this postseason, they were able to do just enough to move on, which in this case meant surviving a frantic final few minutes.

“You’re going to find yourself under the gun at times, and that’s really been our M.O. all year to just play how we need to play,” Scott said. “We can play high-flying attacking soccer, or we can grind out results. The MLS Cup playoffs are a time when you find yourself grinding it out a lot of times, so we’re excited to be moving on and still have that ultimate goal in front of us of winning the Cup.” But the Sounders did hold on, the final whistle blew, 38,912 finally exhaled, and the players in green calmly shook hands. There is more work to be done; this wasn’t a playoff series victory as much as it was a necessary step in the road.

“We’re happy with the result,” Dempsey said.

“Happy to go through.”

was cleared off the line by Michel.

Seattle took stronger hold on the match through the second half, with Dempsey and Obafemi Martins taking advantage of Dallas’ increasing need to push forward for the goal needed to stave off elimination.

That goal never came, and so it is the Sounders who move on to the Western Conference final against the Los Angeles Galaxy. That aggregatescore series will begin Nov. 23 at StubHub Center in Carson, California, and will resolve at 6 p.m. Nov. 30 at CenturyLink Field.

This is the second time the Sounders have

advanced to the Western Conference finals. They have never made it to the MLS Cup. They also become the first Supporters’ Shield winner to advance beyond the conference semifinals since 2011.

Earlier in the day, the United States national team announced that Sounders defender DeAndre Yedlin has been called in for a pair of friendlies: Nov. 14 vs. Colombia in London and Nov. 18 vs.

Ireland in Dublin.

The call in comes during an international break in the MLS playoffs, and should not affect his availability for the Los Angeles series.

sprained in Seattle’s win over Oakland. That means Alvin Bailey is likely to start again at left guard.

The second-year man had perhaps his best game as a Seahawk Sunday filling in for Carpenter and blowing Giants off the ball.

Tight end Zach Miller will miss his seventh consecutive game Sunday.

Miller had ankle surgery in late September and his recovery has gone far more slowly than the team expected. It doesn’t sound like he’s coming back anytime soon.

With Luke Willson spraining his ankle and third tight end Cooper Helfet having a sore knee, Carroll said former Chiefs starting tight end Tony Moeaki is going to be a big part of this week’s game plan. It will be his Seahawks debut.

Moeaki signed as a free agent five days before the Giants game but was inactive for it because he wasn’t familiar enough with the playbook.

“It was exactly that,” Carroll said. “We looked at Will (Tukuafu, the 285-pound fullback who signed recently and impressed Sunday) a week ago, and tried to fit him in at one week’s time. There’s so much to ask these guys to fit in and play football.

“As it turned out with Luke getting hurt, I wish we’d had them all up, of

course. But Tony will be right in the middle of it this week.”

The Seahawks are truly right in the middle of it this week, too, with the first of seven games that will define their season.

Asked about the treacherous journey ahead that includes five division games over these last seven weeks of the regular season, Carroll grinned and joked, “What do you mean?”

“Kansas City, this situation of playing these guys, if you look at the numbers they’re really effective in a lot of critical areas; they’re really a good team,” Carroll said. “If they were undefeated right now, the numbers would support that.

“Quarterback (Alex Smith) is good. The running back (Charles) is good. Their defense is good.”

The Chiefs are No. 1 in the league in pass defense, second in scoring defense and tied for third in sacks.

“So we’re just going to take care of that one first,” Carroll said. “The fact that we have all the division games coming up in the scheduling is really exciting. It leaves everything out there for you and we’ll see how that goes when the time comes.

“But Kansas City is attracting our focus right now. The rest of the schedule isn’t.”

Cards’ Palmer out for season with torn ACL

DA won’t file charges against 49ers’ McDonald

HUSKIES | Notebook

Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. — In his 12th NFL season, Carson Palmer was having the time of his life.

A career of big numbers but little team success was reborn in the desert, where the Arizona Cardinals, at 8-1, have the best record in the NFL. Then on Sunday, as the 34-year-old quarterback tried to evade a blitzing St. Louis Rams safety, he felt his left knee give way.

Palmer knew immediately that his season was over.

“I didn’t need an MRI or an X-ray,” he said. “I felt a pop so I knew it was my last time on the field this year.”

Tests confirmed that it was a torn left ACL, the same knee he injured even more severely in a 2006 playoff game while with the Cincinnati Bengals. The injury came two days after he signed a three-year contract extension worth $50 million, with $20.5 million guaranteed.

Surgery will wait for another two weeks to allow the swelling to subside. The team hopes he will be ready for OTAs next summer.

On Monday, Palmer hobbled into the Cardinals’ media room on crutches and spoke about the emotional pain.

“It’s not easy,” he said. “I’m not going to lie. I cried like a baby last night and I’m not an emotional guy. The last time I cried like this was when I lost my friend and teammate Chris Henry back in ’09.”

Palmer seemed to finally be within reach of the kind of season so many had expected of him when he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Bengals in 2003. A Heisman Trophy winner at USC, he stood 6-foot-5 with a cannon arm.

Huge statistical years followed, wins and playoff appearances didn’t.

A year ago, Palmer came to Arizona from Oakland, joining coach Bruce Arians, who at 60 finally got a chance to be an NFL head coach.

The parallels were obvious.

“Like an old cowboy movie,” Arians said at the time. “This is our last rodeo in the desert.”

After struggling with the intricacies of Arians’ offense for the first half of last season, Palmer eventually grew more comfortable. Arizona won seven of its last nine to finish 10-6, barely missing the playoffs.

This season, Palmer went down in the opener with a damaged nerve in his throwing shoulder.

He missed the next three contests, with backup Drew Stanton going 2-1. Palmer returned and Arizona kept winning, going 8-1 for the first time since 1948, when they were the Chicago Cardinals.

“That’s probably the toughest part,” he said. “I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had in my entire career. I’m on the best team I’ve ever been on, a phenomenal group of guys from the top down.”

Arizona has won 13 of Palmer’s last 15 starts. This season, they are 6-0 with him. He has thrown 11 touchdown passes with three interceptions.

Elated with Palmer, the Cardinals signed him last Friday to the three-year contract extension.

With the Super Bowl to be played in Arizona next February, the Cardinals had visions of playing the big game on their home field, with Palmer leading the way.

“It’s hard,” Arians said. “I knew walking out on the field what I was going to find. You’re pulling for a guy because he’s put so much into it to get into the playoffs and win some games and maybe go all the way because you know what it means to him at this point in his career.”

Palmer vowed that he would play football again.

There was no contact when Palmer was hurt. He had stepped up to avoid blitzing safety Mark Barron.

“I’ve done that move thousands of times,” Palmer said. “... My foot hit the grass and the grass gave way. It was just a freak thing.”

Washington quarterback Cyler Miles completed 14 of 24 passes for 155 yards against UCLA in last Saturday’s game.

‘Painful’ passing game UW’s Petersen looking for more from air attack

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Many adjectives have been used to describe the Washington Huskies’ passing game this season.

But Huskies head coach Chris Petersen’s assessment after Saturday’s 44-30 loss to 18th-ranked UCLA was one of the most accurate.

The word Petersen used was “painful.”

He isn’t wrong. Third-year sophomore quarterback Cyler Miles completed only 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 155 yards, again scrambling too often from the pocket — sometimes when he was supposed to, other times too early — as the Huskies again failed to develop any semblance of an intermediate or vertical passing game.

That’s been a problem all season. It’s why Washington’s offense has been so stagnant — the Huskies rank last in the Pac-12 in passing offense — and why the running game hasn’t been as consistent as the Huskies hoped.

Miles completed only six passes that gained 10 or more yards, and he was sacked three times. Aside from a 36-yard gain on a short pass to Deontae Cooper that was shortened due to a holding penalty, Miles’ longest completion was a 28-yard toss to freshman receiver

Brayden Lenius.

“We just need to be able to throw the ball downfield a little bit more and make some plays,” Petersen said Monday. “It was nice, we got one to Brayden, a big chunk play. We had two other chances to Dante (Pettis) we couldn’t quite get done. We need to hit a few of those. We just need to be more efficient in there. Our run game is solid, but our run game could get better if we could pass the ball better.”

Petersen praised Miles’ throw to Lenius, which was placed perfectly on the receiver’s back shoulder. It wasn’t given to the Huskies by the defense; it was created by one player making an exceptional throw, and another player making the requisite exceptional catch.

In other words, it was the kind of play the Huskies haven’t executed enough this season.

That’s why Miles and the rest of UW’s offense needs to learn how to “throw balls under pressure, put them in there when guys are tightly covered and make more plays,” as Petersen said. “It was good to see Brayden Lenius kind of make a play. That was really good execution. Just more of those things. Cyler threw it on time, threw it to his outside shoulder, Brayden kind of holds the line, fades, catch it outside. When a ball is thrown perfectly and

caught perfectly, to me, there’s no defense for it.”

Kikaha ‘should’ play Hau’oli Kikaha, the UW career and single-season sack leader, left Saturday’s game with a shoulder stinger, but Petersen said he was “running around” at Monday’s practice and “should be” OK for the Huskies’ game at Arizona on Saturday.

“As long as he can keep progressing, I think we’ll be OK,” Petersen said.

Ross still at corner The Huskies made one semi-significant change to their depth chart this week, moving sophomore John Ross III’s name to the top of the list at one cornerback position.

Ross moves ahead of freshman Naijiel Hale, who started the UCLA game and was badly beaten on a first-quarter touchdown pass. Another true freshman, Sidney Jones, is still the starter at the other cornerback position.

Top cornerback Marcus Peters was dismissed from the program last week, necessitating creativity at that position. Ross is also the Huskies’ leading receiver with 371 yards on 17 catches, and returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown last week.

“I think we’d like to see what he can do over there at that corner position,” Petersen said. “Again, it’s hard to split reps, especially when a guy is new and young to a position.”

Kickoff is when?

Washington’s Nov. 22 home game against Oregon State will air on the Pac-12 Networks and will kickoff at either 6 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.

The exact game time should be decided by Sunday.

Eagles sack Newton 9 times, beat Panthers 45-21

By Rob Maaddi Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Mark Sanchez did his part for the Eagles while the defense dominated and special teams shined.

Darren Sproles had two touchdowns, Sanchez threw for two scores and the defense sacked Cam Newton nine times to help Philadelphia beat the Carolina Panthers 45-21 Monday night.

Filling in for an injured Nick Foles, Sanchez had 332 yards passing in his first start since Dec. 30, 2012. Sproles returned a punt 65 yards for a score and had an 8-yard TD run.

Bradley Fletcher returned an interception 34 yards for a TD and Jordan Matthews had 138 yards receiving and two TDs. “Just an outstanding performance by all three phases,” Sanchez said.

The Eagles (7-2) stayed on top in the NFC East. They’re trying to repeat as division champions without Foles, who broke his collarbone in a win at Houston last week.

The Panthers (3-6-1) hardly look like the team that won the NFC South last year. They’ve lost four in a row and already have allowed more points in 10 games than they did in 2013.

Making things worse, Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was carted off the field late in the third quarter.

“We’ve got to do things better,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “I have to coach better, coaches have to coach better, we have to practice better and then go out and play better. And we’re going to do it together as a team.”

Newton threw the first of three interceptions and DeAngelo Williams lost a fumble on Carolina’s first three plays from

scrimmage. The turnovers led to 10 points for the Eagles.

Conor Barwin had 31⁄2 sacks and Brandon Graham had 11⁄2.

Newton had never been sacked more than seven times in his career.

“We wanted to keep Cam in the pocket and if we didn’t, we didn’t want him to go north, we just wanted him to go east and west and we did that,” Barwin said. “Nobody gave him a hole to rush through. Everyone stayed disciplined and he didn’t really know where to go when he tried to escape.”

“Our defense really came to play,” Eagles head coach ChipKelly said. “We created a lot of pressure early and those two turnovers on the first three plays really set the tempo for the day.”

The game was in Philadelphia’s control when Newton threw a pair of fourth-quarter TDs to Kelvin Benjamin.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Prosecutors in the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office have decided not to file domestic-violence charges against San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald, citing insufficient evidence in a case that was part of a national string of similar incidents with NFL players and also brought scrutiny on the ties between the team and the San Jose Police Department.

The announcement Monday, which had been expected, followed two cancellations of tentative arraignment hearings for McDonald over the past two months regarding his Aug. 31 arrest at his San Jose home where his pregnant fiancee, referred to as “Jane Doe,” showed “visible injuries.”

“All domestic violence complaints deserve our concern, sensitivity and careful review,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement. “After our thorough review of all the facts, we do not have evidence sufficient to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. McDonald committed a crime against Jane Doe.” A memo written about the case stated that conflicting accounts, lack of credible witnesses, and a “significant lack of cooperation

by Jane Doe” hindered prosecutors from building a case that could support a domestic-violence charge.

“Both parties agree that Jane Doe struck Ray McDonald first, and that her minor injuries are consistent with restraint rather than attack,” said Lindsay Walsh, the deputy district attorney assigned to the case.

A memo produced by Rosen’s office also mentions the backdrop of national attention on family-violence cases involving NFL players, chief among them the Ray Rice domestic-violence case where video of him hitting his fiancee ultimately led to his termination from the Baltimore Ravens and indefinite suspension from the league.

Supervising Deputy District Attorney Cindy Hendrickson said the McDonald decision should not hinder the domestic-violence awareness and victim advocacy borne from that spotlight.

“The Ray Rice case did begin a national conversation that has largely been very positive,” Hendrickson said. “We hope that this decision is not going to derail that positive conversation.”

Hendrickson said her office files charges in about 60 percent of domestic-violence cases it reviews, and that should not be taken as a statement on the validity of the claims in the cases that don’t yield prosecution. She encouraged people in these circumstances to seek counseling and advocacy resources.

“It doesn’t mean that we don’t believe the victim, it just means that the evidence presented to us doesn’t meet the very high burden that we’re considering when deciding whether to file charges,” she said. “Not charging is just as important as charging when it comes to the pursuit of justice.”

McDonald released a statement Monday after the announcement: “I appreciate the seriousness of the situation and I understand and respect that law enforcement had a job to do, which is why I cooperated fully with their investigation from beginning to end.

I am relieved that the DA’s office has rightfully decided not to file charges. I want to thank everyone who was supportive during this difficult time.”

McDonald has been playing while the investigation was ongoing, and the team indicated nothing will change now that it is over.

“There’s a process that played out. From the beginning, we asked for some patience there and to let that process see a conclusion, see a process, see a conclusion,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said. It’s done that. We’re ready to move forward.”
