EVERETT — Work on the new Courtyard by Marriott hotel ground to a halt Nov. 13 when the construction workers struck something. Something big and hard.

“It was a big thud,” said Ben Hansen, the site superintendent for Halvorson Construction Group, the contracting company building the hotel for developer Touchstone Corp.

The thud came from a rock bigger than an SUV, roughly 18 or 19 feet long, 10 feet high, and weighing about 300,000 pounds. The

work crews broke several drill bits on it, and even the crew’s Hitachi 450 excavator can’t lift it.

“I can roll it downhill!” Jon Bates called out from the excavator’s cab.

Given that the boulder is about 30 feet below ground, where the crew was digging out what will become the hotel parking garage, that’s not very useful.

At best guess, the rock could be up to 2 million years old, Hansen said.

“I don’t know that it’s truly 2 million years old, that’s speculation,” said Kurt Merriman, a geotechnical engineer with Associated Earth Sciences in

Kirkland who was called out to the work site Wednesday morning to examine it.

The boulder is called a “glacial erratic,” basically a giant rock carried to its currently location by the crest of the most recent glacial period, about 18,000 years ago, and dropped when the glacier started to retreat.

“We see this occasionally in the glacial soils that underlie the area,” Merriman said.

He thinks the boulder probably originated in northern Canada or Alaska.

In the meantime, the Halvorson crew has been working on figuring out how to get it out of the hole,

and what to do with afterward, so they can get back to work.

The crew has two options, Hansen said. One is to try to break it into smaller, lighter pieces. The other is to give it to the city, for historical purposes.

“It’s a prehistoric rock,” he said. The city hasn’t gotten back to them on their offer, he added.

“They might be willing to donate it to us or work with us if we can find a home for it,” said Meghan Pembroke, the city’s communications director.

She added that a decision hasn’t been made.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

A glacial erratic rock estimated to weigh 300,000 pounds and possibly be 2 million years old lies 30 feet below ground after being discovered last Thursday and fully unearthed Wednesday at the Courtyard by Marriott construction site near the intersection of Colby Avenue and Wall Street in Everett.

EVERETT — A jury began deliberating Wednesday in the murder trial of a man accused of causing a deadly crash while trying to outrun Bothell police officers in downtown Everett.

Rachael Kamin, a nurse, was driving home on Mother’s Day 2013 after her shift at Providence Regional Medical Center’s Pacific Avenue Campus. She sustained a fatal head injury and died two days later. She is survived by her husband and two children.

Joseph Strange, 35, is accused of first-degree murder, a rare charge in a fatal car crash. The charge was filed under the theory that Strange caused Kamin’s death “under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life.”

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Tobin Darrow alleges that Strange created a grave risk of death when he hit two cars, ran red lights and drove up to 90 mph on Evergreen Way all in an attempt to escape capture.

Strange was driving a stolen pickup truck that night. He was under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections after being released from prison about seven months earlier for possessing a stolen vehicle. He has more than a dozen prior felony convictions.

Texts: Sent to 14 family members From Page A1

Some of the messages

Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team assigned to investigate the school shootings.

He was seeking a judge’s permission to examine Jaylen’s cellphone.

Detectives have been poring over hundreds of text messages and social media posts since the violence. The medical examiner found the cellphone in Jaylen’s pocket.

The Everett police detective included in the warrant affidavit some text messages from Jaylen that indicate that he might have been planning something days before the shootings. The warrant says the detectives were searching for evidence of first-degree murder.

Jaylen had publicly posted some angry messages on social media starting in late July, but his posts otherwise were “pretty normal,” the detective wrote. Starting Oct. 18, however, his text messages took a darker turn.

Detectives learned that Jaylen had been upset by something that happened between him and a 15-year-old who is identified in the affidavit only by her initials and described as a “close friend.”

Investigators know what happened between the two but decided against including specifics in the search warrant to protect her identity, court papers said.

On Oct. 18 Jaylen sent this text: “Ohk (sic) well don’t bother coming to

Jaylen Fryberg sent these texts to a “close friend” identified only by her initials: Oct. 18: “Ohk (sic) well don’t bother coming to my funeral” Oct. 22: “I set the date. Hopefully you regret not talking to me” “You have no idea what I’m talking about. But you will” “Bang bang I’m dead” my funeral” The girl stopped responding and ignored other text messages.

Then on Oct. 22, Jaylen texted: “I set the date. Hopefully you regret not talking to me” “You have no idea what I’m talking about. But you will” “Bang bang I’m dead” The friend asked Jaylen to quit. He replied, “No. You don’t care. I don’t care.”

When she stopped responding Jaylen tried to reach her through another friend.

On the morning of the shootings, Jaylen used Facebook to send that friend a picture of a gun sitting between his legs, according to the search warrant. He told the friend to have the other girl “call me before I do this.” The message was sent about 10:25 a.m., minutes before Jaylen began shooting.

The gun in the photograph appears to be the same weapon detectives found lying on a table in the cafeteria after the shootings.

The search warrant doesn’t mention whether any other students were

invited to lunch that day.

Detectives also investigated rumors that students had gone to a teacher or principal the day before the shootings and expressed concerns about Jaylen.

Marysville Pilchuck is a school with 1,200 students.

There is nothing to support that rumor, SMART spokeswoman Shari Ireton said Wednesday.

“We have not been able to find a shred of evidence” of that, she said.

Investigators have spoken with dozens of people who were in the cafeteria that morning. The Everett detective spoke with two students who were eating lunch when the gunfire began.

“They looked up and observed Jaylen Fryberg standing at a table ‘calmly’ shooting other students,” the search warrant said.

Nate Hatch told investigators he was eating lunch when Jaylen stood up and started shooting. Jaylen fired at Nate. The bullet entered near his chin and traveled through his body, lodging in the strap of his backpack, the search warrant said.

When the detective joined others collecting

‘10 worst toys’ for kids Associated Press

bullet fragments and other evidence inside the cafeteria, the bodies of Jaylen and one of his victims, Zoe Galasso, had not yet been moved.

Jaylen was on his back, with his wrists secured in handcuffs. There was a gunshot wound below his chin. An autopsy later determined his death was a suicide.

The handcuffs were snapped in place by one of the first police officers on the scene — standard practice when securing the scene of a violent crime.

The day of the shootings, the Everett police detective met with two of Jaylen’s uncles. One asked the detective if he had seen the text.

The man said he and 13 other relatives received the message from Jaylen minutes before the shootings. The text was titled “My Funeral (expletive).”

The detective later went to speak with the boy’s parents. He was met by Tulalip police officers, who explained that the couple had received death threats and weren’t at home.

His father returned home and cooperated with investigators, allowing the detectives to search Jaylen’s bedroom.

“My hope was that we could find a note or something that would help explain what happened,” the detective wrote. “Nothing of evidentiary value was located in Jaylen’s room.”

BOSTON — A light-up bow whose arrows are advertised as flying up to 145 feet and the “Catapencil” — a pencil with a miniature slingshotstyle launcher on its end — are on an annual list of unsafe toys released Wednesday by a Massachusetts-based consumer watchdog group.

World Against Toys Causing Harm, or W.A.T.C.H., issued the “10 Worst Toys” list to remind parents and consumers of the potential hazards in some toys as the holiday shopping season gets under way.

Organizers said the toys singled out representative of some of the typical problems they encounter.

Crash From Page A1

to characterize the actions of Bothell police officers Mark Atterbury and Shawn Kunkel, the two primary officers involved in the pursuit.

Atterbury first spotted Strange sitting in an idling truck outside a Bothell motel. The license plates on the truck were stolen.

The officer attempted to stop Strange, who raced off onto I-405. A sergeant called off the pursuit.

Atterbury and Kunkel turned off their lights and sirens but followed Strange, who exited onto northbound I-5 and then got off at 164th Street SW. Strange drove into the parking lot of a gas station.

That’s where he crashed into a Ford Taurus and backed into Atterbury’s patrol car. The pursuit picked again up as Strange headed north on the freeway.

The Bothell officers bent the rules and pursued Strange, Darrow said.

They should have stopped chasing him, and the officers have had to answer for their actions with their bosses, or possibly as part of a civil lawsuit, Darrow said.

“But today’s the day for the defendant to answer for his actions,” he said.

Strange made the decision to run, to drive with extreme recklessness and endanger the lives of multiple people. He is responsible for killing Kamin, Darrow said.

Snohomish County public defender Donald Wackerman said his client bears some criminal responsibility for Kamin’s death. He is guilty of second-degree manslaughter, Wackerman told jurors.

He was negligent, but not reckless, he said.

There is no evidence that Strange knew there was an “extremely high risk” that someone would die as he sped along Evergreen Way, the lawyer said. The cops didn’t act like it was dangerous that night as they continued to chase after a truck with stolen license plates. They didn’t communicate any extreme

dangers as they called out their speeds and road and traffic conditions to a sergeant monitoring the pursuit.

“No one that night was aware of the risk,” Wackerman said.

Jurors were not told that Atterbury was suspended for a day for his involvement in the pursuit. Bothell Police Chief Carol Cummings concluded that the officer misjudged the situation, but that was not a willful or deliberate act of wrongdoing.

Wackerman on Wednesday urged jurors to critically examine the officers’ testimony. Their statements after the pursuit are not supported by the radio traffic from the night of the crash. The murder charge is built on the testimony of two “suspect officers,” whose statements don’t jibe with the video footage from the gas station, Wackerman said. They knew that they could face liability.

“Clearly if the officers complied with policy there would not have been a high speed pursuit up Evergreen Way. There would have been no death of Ms. Kamin,” Wackerman said.

Yet he went on to tell the jurors that the officers weren’t on trial.

“Their misdeeds do not excuse Mr. Strange,” Wackerman said.

His client bears some criminal responsibility, but it is a “grand leap” to call what he did murder, he said.

Strange was driving 90 mph in a 30 mph zone, disregarding red lights, Darrow countered. What did he think was going to happen? He watched himself crash into the Ford Taurus and Atterbury’s patrol car. He had to have known that his actions were endangering others, Darrow said.

The officers misjudged the situation, rating the need to apprehend him too high and the danger to the public too low, Darrow said.

“Their failure to judge that situation does not absolve the defendant,” he said.

Charges in bikini-espresso stands case Samantha Lancaster, a manager at Java Juggs, encouraged baristas to engage in sexual conduct for money, prosecutors say.

By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Shoreline woman who was a pioneer in the multimillion-dollar business of running drive-through brothels at Snohomish County

bikini-espresso stands is now charged with two counts of promoting prostitution.

Samantha Breanne Lancaster, 24, worked as a manager at Java Juggs stands and encouraged baristas to engage in sexual conduct in exchange for money,

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Janice Albert said in court papers.

For $6, customers visiting the stands could get a cup of coffee and a “booty shake” from a barista wearing a bikini or lingerie.

If the customer was willing to pay more, however, Lancaster encouraged workers to put on “shows,” flashing their breasts and genitals and at times

engaging in sex acts with customers and other baristas, the prosecutor wrote in Snohomish County Superior Court papers filed Tuesday.

“Lancaster not only knew of the lewd conduct and prostitution, she took part in, encouraged it, and promoted it,” Albert wrote. “Video from Snohomish County stands in May and June 2013 captured acts of lewdness and prostitution by Lancaster

and others.”

Second-degree promotion of prostitution is a felony.

The allegations against Lancaster are part of a larger investigation that in 2013 snared the stands’ owner, Carmela Panico, and led to public corruption charges for a former sheriff’s sergeant.

Sanctions filed over cancer vaccine But a suspended naturopathic physician can apply to get his license back next year.

taxes or run the risk of having a lien placed on their property.

The latest scam in Edmonds was a variation of one that took in an Everett man last month. In that case, the victim, 74, lost $2,000.

The scammer claimed to be his grandson and spun a convincing yarn about being a passenger in a car where police found drugs and an unregistered handgun.

BOTHELL — A naturopathic physician here whose license was suspended by the state can apply to have it reinstated next year, but he also will have to pay a $5,000 fine, refund $180,750 to cancer patients and remain on probation for at least eight years.

John A. Catanzaro can apply to have his license reissued on Jan. 29, according to an agreement with the state Department of Health.

Catanzaro said he hopes to begin seeing patients again in February.

The settlement allows the state agency to make unannounced visits to his clinic for as long as Catanzaro remains on probation and to review clinic records to ensure appropriate patient billing.

Through the agreement with the state, Catanzaro is acknowledging fault, said his attorney, Rodney Moody.

“The bottom line is he has reached this agreement with the Department of Health which will allow him to have his license back,” Moody said.

“It will allow him to get back into practice and hopefully see the patients he was seeing previously.”

Catanzaro is the medical director of HWIFC Cancer Research Group and the Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment.

It was the work of the research group, a nonprofit started in 2007, that brought the clinic to the attention of the health department’s Board of Naturopathy, which

A $10 permit allows you to cut down and haul your own Christmas tree in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

ANNIE MULLIGAN / FOR THE HERALD

Cut and carry: Tree permits are here Herald staff Permits are available to cut Christmas trees in Mount BakerSnoqualmie National Forest in the eastern portions of Snohomish, King, Skagit, Whatcom and Pierce counties.

Permits cost $10 each, one tree per permit, with a tree height

limit of 12 feet. Trees taller than 12 feet require a tall-tree permit for $20.

If your trip involves parking in a dedicated Sno-Park lot, you’ll need a parking permit. The U.S. Forest Service suggests getting trees early, before the first snow, because most trees are reached only by narrow, unplowed

mountain roads, which sometimes require high-clearance vehicles, tire chains and a shovel.

Check road conditions before you go at fs.usda.gov/goto/mbs/ road-trails.

Permits and maps to cutting areas are available at Forest Service ranger stations, public service centers and in the REI

stores in Alderwood mall and Seattle. REI stores only sell permits for smaller trees. The Verlot and Glacier public service centers accept only cash and checks.

Cards are accepted elsewhere.

For more information, go to the Forest Service website: fs.usda.gov. The cutting season lasts through Dec. 24.

Edmonds police warn of phone scammers

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Police in Edmonds are warning people to be wary of another telephone scam after a local woman was swindled.

The Edmonds woman was bilked out of $3,000 Tuesday afternoon.

Edmonds Sgt. Mark Marsh said the huckster reached her on her

cellphone and claimed he was an Edmonds police officer.

“The imposter told her that her nephew was in jail and that she needed to pay $3,000 to get him out of jail,” Marsh said.

He directed her to buy a prepaid payment card and had her provide information that allowed him to access the card to get the money.

“The bad thing is the person said they were Captain So-and-so

and we don’t even have captains,” Marsh said.

The scammer tried to get the woman to send another $3,000 for phony legal fees, but a customer service worker at a local supermarket became suspicious and told her to call police.

Marsh said the scam is similar to ones from earlier this year. In those cases, people claiming to be IRS agents hoodwinked victims into believing they owed back

They believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican.

It didn’t play out that way.

Democrats lost seats in both chambers — sometimes in communities where the measure is

Along with tax preparers, United Way seeks greeters and intake screeners. Those volunteers will not need to pass tax-law tests.

Training will be held in December and January. Multilingual helpers are especially needed. Volunteers are asked to contribute three to five hours per

Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three Democrats in the process. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties.

Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason,

director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

One explanation is that in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative. Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and went on to win with 54.5 percent.

Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure as best they could.

They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994 when the national gun rights group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban.

The NRA flexed its muscle again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994.

Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly.

“We didn’t energize our base enough and the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.”

Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Democrats may revise their analysis when the final numbers are known for the election.

While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place.

“We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign.

“That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.

And one that Democrats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election.

guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering. She forfeited $250,000 cash seized in the investigation and walked away from her stands.

As part of the plea, Panico admitted her stands were drive-through brothels that brought her millions of dollars.

Darrell O’Neill, a former sheriff’s sergeant, is awaiting a February trial on allegations that he fed Panico and her employees information in exchange for sexual favors. He resigned not long after his arrest.

Baristas told detectives that Lancaster received information from O’Neill about police undercover investigations and she would warn workers when to be careful, Albert said.

“Lancaster and Panico let their baristas know that O’Neill was ‘dirty’ and on their side,” she wrote.

“Baristas were told to be nice to him” and let him fondle them and engage them in other sexual conduct.

“The baristas said they were supposed to keep O’Neill happy,” the prosecutor added.

After her arrest in 2013, Lancaster spoke with investigators, explained how the business worked and “admitted to passing on O’Neill’s information about officers and investigations in order to be able to continue the stands’ activities,” Albert said.

Lancaster has no criminal history, but in 2009, at 18, she was among the baristas working for Bill Wheeler Sr. at a Grab-N-Go espresso stand in Everett.

The stands made national headlines after Everett cops alleged the baristas were exposing themselves

to customers in exchange for money. She faced no jail time, but unsuccessfully fought to block public records requests brought by people who wanted to see the risque photographs taken during the police investigation.

Lancaster moved on to work for Panico, and managed her stands from 2011 until 2013.

The city this month moved to seize control of the stands Panico formerly owned. Three have been operated since January by a company owned by Lancaster. They remain a nuisance.

“We are also aware that you and your employees continue to engage in the same illegal conduct,” that led to the stands being raided in 2013 assistant city attorney Ramsey Ramerman wrote the Shoreline woman earlier this month.

They told her she must be out of the stands this week.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bamboo, a 47-year-old Asian elephant, reaches her trunk out toward photographers at the Woodland Park Zoo on Wednesday in Seattle.

Seattle zoo: No more elephants Associated Press SEATTLE — Woodland Park Zoo announced Wednesday that it is ending its elephant program in Seattle and will find a new home for its two endangered Asian elephants.

The zoo hasn’t identified a new facility for 47-year-old Bamboo and 35-year-old Chai. But it expects to relocate the female elephants together in 2015 and to an accredited facility that shares its commitment to animal health and welfare and conservation, said Deborah Jensen, the zoo’s president and CEO. It’s better for the animals to live with a larger, social herd and that it is not realistic in the foreseeable future to add elephants to the Seattle zoo, Jensen said in a statement.

Alyne Fortgang, a longtime critic of the zoo’s elephant exhibit, applauded the zoo for “recognizing that elephants don’t belong in Seattle. We don’t have the space. We don’t have the climate.”

Her group, Friends of the Woodland Park Zoo Elephants, has argued for years that the exhibit should be closed and the elephants sent to a sanctuary in California. Fortgang said she is disappointed that the two elephants would be sent to another zoo instead of a sanctuary.

In August, a third elephant — a 45-year-old African elephant named Watoto — was euthanized after she went down and couldn’t get up.

herpes virus.

Last year, a task force conducted a review of the zoo’s elephant program. A majority of task force members recommended that the zoo build a multigenerational herd, including breeding Chai naturally or bringing in elephants.

Following the review, the zoo said in March that it would work to strengthen its elephant program and was optimistic about adding to the herd in the near future.

On Wednesday, Bruce Bohmke, the zoo’s chief operations officer, noted that there are very few elephants to acquire because other zoos are expanding or building new exhibits.

The zoo recognized that it may be a few decades before it could have a sustainable population, he said.

SEATTLE — An Everett firefighter was arrested in Seattle on Wednesday for investigation of sex crimes involving a minor.

The firefighter, 60, was being held without bail in the King County jail.

The Herald is not naming him because he has not been charged with a crime.

He has no felony history in Washington.

Seattle police did not respond to requests for additional information.

The firefighter, who also is a paramedic, was placed on leave, Everett city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

He has worked for the city since 1991 and was not on duty at the time of his arrest.

Snohomish: 3 escape house fire

Stanwood: New North County chief

Three men and a dog escaped an early morning house fire Wednesday in the Three Lakes area outside Snohomish. The fire was reported about 1 a.m. in the 8200 block of 171st Avenue SE. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but it appears to have started accidentally in the garage, Snohomish Fire Chief Ron Simmons said.

The fire was fueled by tanks of oxygen and propane stored at the house, which was destroyed, the chief said.

The propane caused an explosion heard by neighbors.

The nearest hydrant in the rural area was about 300 feet away. Fire had spread through the attic and the insulation before crews arrived.

The North County Regional Fire Authority has hired a new fire chief. John Cermak is scheduled to start the job Dec. 9.

Cermak comes from the Alhambra Fire Department in Los Angeles County, California, where he has worked since the 1980s. His contract with North County was finalized this week.

The chief’s job pays about $125,000 a year. Battalion Chief Scott Johnston has been serving as interim fire chief.

The fire authority also has filled positions on the board of six commissioners. Earlier this year, former Fire Chief Dale Fulfs retired, two commissioners died and another resigned.

The newest commisioner, Jan Iverson, is set to be sworn in Nov. 26.

Obama immigration plan The Washington Post WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will announce his intention Thursday to use his executive powers to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, the most significant presidential intervention to alter the U.S. immigration system in nearly three decades.

Using a prime-time address from the White House, Obama hopes to build public support for his decision to remake border control laws without approval from Congress, a move likely to spark a major political fight about the limits of presidential power.

Obama is expected to announce measures that would make as many as 4 million immigrants eligible for temporary protected status and provide relief to another 1 million through other means, according to people briefed on the plans. He also will take steps to expand visas for high-tech workers; modify federal immigrant detention

procedures; and add resources to strengthen security at the border, they said.

But even as he moved to address an old problem, Obama created a new tempest on Capitol Hill, where Republicans denounced his actions less than two weeks after voters handed the GOP full control of Congress.

A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, referred to the president as “Emperor Obama” and charged that he was exceeding his authority and cementing “his legacy of lawlessness.” Several GOP members suggested using a government spending bill next month to counter Obama’s move by defunding related immigration programs, setting up the potential for a government shutdown.

The showdown comes two years after Obama, flush off his 2012 re-election, announced he would pursue a legislative overhaul of immigration laws as he sought to fulfill a campaign promise to Latino and Asian American supporters who were

frustrated that the president had not done more on immigration in his first term.

But an 18-month effort to pass legislation, which included a path to citizenship, collapsed this summer in the face of strenuous opposition in the Republican-controlled House. In June, Obama promised to act aggressively on the problem in areas where the law allowed the use of his authority.

Administration lawyers have spent months reviewing case law and meeting with immigration advocates, law enforcement officials and legal experts to develop options for Obama, who reviewed them with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder.

Under his plan, Obama will provide administrative relief to illegal-immigrant parents of children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, an adult population that reaches an estimated 3.46 million, according to a report from the Migration Policy Institute.

However, the president’s order also will require the parents to have lived in the United States for a certain number of years — likely 10. The average illegal immigrants has lived in the country for 13 years.

Many of those who receive administrative relief also would be eligible to apply for work permits.

The president also is expected to expand a 2012 program that has deferred the deportations of nearly 600,000 younger immigrants known as “dreamers” who were brought into the country illegally as children. Obama’s plans would expand that program by raising the maximum current age from 30 and raising the maximum arrival age above 16.

Obama will stop short of extending protections to hundreds of thousands of parents of the dreamers, after the White House Office of Legal Counsel determined that doing so would exceed the president’s legal authorities to act unilaterally, according to the people briefed on the plans.

Epic snow hits; more coming Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — Homeowners opened their front doors to find themselves sealed in by sheer walls of white. Shovelers turned walkways into head-high canyons.

A woman gave birth in a firehouse after the snow prevented her from reaching the hospital.

Even for Buffalo, a place that typically shrugs at snow, this was an epic snowfall, the kind of onslaught folks will be telling their grandchildren about.

The Buffalo area found itself buried under as much as 5 ½ feet of snow Wednesday, with another storm expected to bring 2 to 3 more feet Thursday.

“This is an historic event.

When all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records, and that’s saying something in Buffalo,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.

The storm came in so fast and furious over Lake Erie on Tuesday it trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway, which remained closed Wednesday. People were marooned at homes, on highways and at work. Residents who can handle 6 inches of snow as if it were a light dusting were forced to improvise.

Tom Wilson, of West Seneca, split a Salisbury steak frozen dinner with co-workers and tried his best to get some rest when he was stuck 36 hours at his warehouse job.

“I slept on a pallet. Then I slept on some office chairs, and then I went back to the pallet,” he said. “Then I found some sponges to lay on. I found one pack of sponges unopened.

That looks like a pillow to me.

“We tried to make popcorn with a two-by-four, two empty pop kegs, some charcoal and a dust pan,” he added. “It

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to advance a $2.5 billion plan to reuse wastewater for drinking, the latest example of how California cities are looking for new supplies amid a severe drought.

The plan calls to initially recycle 15 million gallons by 2023 and 83 million gallons a day by 2035, about one-third of the city’s water supply. It enjoys broad support from Mayor Kevin Faulconer, business

Man with gun arrested near the White House WASHINGTON — An Iowa man, who authorities said had a rifle and ammunition in the trunk of the car he was driving, was arrested near the White House on Wednesday. R.J. Kapheim, 41, approached a Secret Service officer at a checkpoint in Washington. Kapheim said that someone in his home town, Davenport, had told him to come to the White House, so he drove his 2013 VW Passat all the way there. In the trunk of the car, which was parked on Constitution Avenue, officers found a .30-30 rifle and more than 40 rounds of ammunition, the Secret Service said. They said Kapheim was charged with possession of an unregistered firearm and may face further charges.

New York: Ebola testing Test results on the body of a woman who died of an apparent heart attack in Brooklyn came back negative for the Ebola virus, a spokesman for the New York City Health Department said Wednesday. Out of “an abundance of caution,” health officials had looked into whether the woman, who traveled to the city from Guinea recently, had contracted Ebola. The woman was on a list of 350 people who were being monitored for Ebola.

Subway death suspect held A man accused of shoving a stranger in front of a New York City subway train, killing him, has appeared before a judge who ordered him held without bail. Kevin Darden did not enter a plea during a hearing Wednesday in Bronx Criminal Court. Police said Wai Kuen Kwok, 61, was standing with his wife on a Bronx subway platform Sunday when Darden pushed him in front of an approaching train. Darden, 34, was picked up Tuesday evening and charged with second-degree murder.

didn’t work.”

How snowy was it? The National Weather Service said it was so bad that some spotters it relies on for accumulation totals couldn’t get out of their houses to take measurements.

Bethany Hojnacki went into labor at the height of the storm

and ended up giving birth in a Buffalo fire station after she and her husband couldn’t get to the hospital. Baby Lucy weighed in at 6 pounds, 2 ounces.

Cuomo said Wednesday afternoon that all trapped travelers had been removed from

their cars, though some truckers were staying with their rigs.

Asked how officials could allow people to be snowbound in cars for 24 hours, Cuomo cited a jackknifed trailer that prevented plows from removing fast-falling snow and drivers’ own wrongheaded choices.

“What happened was, even though the Thruway was officially closed, people went on.

We didn’t immediately block every entrance. It was a mistake,” Cuomo said.

“Part of it is citizen responsibility,” he said. “If the road is closed, it’s closed.

The storm was blamed for up to seven deaths in western New York, at least four of them from heart attacks. Erie County officials said a man was found in his car, which was in a ditch and buried in snow 24 miles east of Buffalo. It was unclear how he died.

City plans toilet-to-tap water system Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

groups and environmental advocates.

The Orange County Water District, which serves 2.4 million people in California, plans to boost production of recycled water next year from 70 million gallons to 100 million gallons a day. It has reused wastewater for drinking since 2008 through treatment that includes sending water through ground basins.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District, which serves 1.8 million people in the San Francisco Bay Area, decided in September to pursue construction of facilities that it says

could lead to turning wastewater into drinking water for Sunnyvale and western Santa Clara County.

Still, it remains rare to turn sewage to drinking water. The WateReuse Association, a group of agencies behind the efforts, counts only 10 projects nationwide, including El Paso, Texas, and Fairfax County, Virginia. Two Texas cities, Wichita Falls and Big Spring, started projects within the past two years.

The cost of such undertakings approaches the cost of seawater desalination — another

expensive idea that has gained interest during the drought.

Recycling, called toilet-to-tap by critics, has also suffered an image problem that industry insiders call “the yuk factor.”

San Diego, a city of 1.4 million people that imports 85 percent of its water from the Colorado River and Northern California, has slowly warmed to the idea. A 2012 survey by the San Diego County Water Authority showed that nearly three of four residents favored turning wastewater into drinking water, up from one of four in a 2005 survey.

NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of “The Cosby Show,” moves that came a day after another woman came forward claiming that the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her. An NBC spokeswoman said Wednesday the Cosby sitcom “is no longer under development.” A TV Land spokesperson said the shows will stop airing immediately for an indefinite time. The developments, which involve allegations that were reported on a decade ago as well as new accusations, have damaged the 77-year-old comedian’s reputation as America’s TV dad at a time when he was launching a comeback.

Utah: State gun permits Tens of thousands of gun owners from around the country are taking advantage of Utah’s concealed firearm permits each year. A state report shows more than 81,000 out-of-staters obtained permits from Utah in fiscal year 2014, accounting for 80 percent of those issued. About two-thirds of the permits Utah has issued since 1994 have been given to residents from other states, but this past year set a new high mark. Thirty-five other states recognize conceal weapons permits issued in Utah.

Return of the firing squad?

Ten years after banning the use of firing squads in state executions, Utah lawmakers on Wednesday endorsed a proposal to allow the practice again to avoid problems with lethal-injection drugs. The proposal from Republican Rep. Paul Ray of Clearfield would call for a firing squad if the state cannot obtain the lethal injection drugs 30 days before the scheduled execution. Utah dropped firing squads out of concern about the media attention, but Ray said it’s the most humane way to execute someone because the inmate dies instantly.

AROUND THE WORLD U.N.: Cuts in emissions Pledges by the U.S. and other countries to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions aren’t enough to prevent global temperatures from rising beyond levels that scientists believe could be dangerous to the planet, a U.N. study says. The report by the United Nations Environmental Program cited a sizable “gap” between promises made by world leaders to lower pollution and the maximum amount of carbon the atmosphere can safely absorb.

Amazon work rules change Bloomberg News PHOENIX — Amazon.com Inc. has agreed to change some of the rules for workers at the Web retailer’s warehouses in the United States so that employees can communicate about pay and working conditions without fear of retaliation.

In a settlement reached with the National Labor Relations Board this week, the Seattlebased company also agreed to rescind a verbal warning given to a staff member at a Phoenix warehouse who voiced concerns about security in the parking lot

This is telling Amazon you have to stop bullying people.

— Brian Weiss, Amazon employee for 6 years

after thefts from vehicles. A hearing had been scheduled between the parties. Bloomberg News obtained a copy of the settlement.

The deal could open the door for Amazon’s workers to unionize, because the settlement requires the online retailer to post notices at its fulfillment centers

notifying employees that they have the right to form unions and work with each other for collective benefits. Amazon has faced criticism for conditions faced by workers in its more than 40 facilities around the country, and the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a separate case on whether

workers at Amazon’s warehouses must be paid for time spent undergoing post-shift security searches.

Attorneys representing Amazon at the hearing declined to comment after the settlement, which included a statement that the company “does not admit that it has violated the National Labor Relations Act.” The settlement will help to make more people aware of their rights in the workplace, said Zev Eigen, an associate law professor at Northwestern University See RULES, Page A8

Automakers debut key models Associated Press LOS ANGELES — One out of every 10 new vehicles sold in the U.S. last year was purchased in California. So it’s no wonder automakers save some of their most important introductions for the Los Angeles Auto Show.

As usual, green cars are a focus in eco-conscious L.A. Toyota is showing its emission-free hydrogen fuel-cell car, the Mirai, which goes on sale next year in the U.S. and Europe. Honda also has a fuel-cell concept car, the FCV, which is expected to go on sale in 2016.

Some familiar names, such as the Ford Explorer and the Chrysler 300, unveil their latest looks. And with U.S. gas prices at a four-year low and California’s economy rebounding, this year’s show also features luxury cars.

Mercedes, Audi and Porsche will also have important introductions at the show.

The L.A. Auto Show opens to the public Friday. Here are some of the most talked-about vehicles introductions: Audi: The German luxury brand hints at its new design direction with a concept sedan, the Audi Prologue. It’s the first vehicle from Marc Lichte, a Volkswagen veteran who was appointed head of Audi design in February. The car is shorter and sportier than the current A8, and has a lower, wider and more angular grille. Under the hood is a 605-horsepower V8 engine. The two-door coupe could become Audi’s new flagship A9. But in the meantime, look for the new design to trickle into the brand’s future products.

WASHINGTON — The banking industry seems to bring out dishonesty in people, a new study suggests.

A team of Swiss economists tested the honesty of bank employees in a lab game that would pay off in cash if they cheated. When workers at an unnamed bank were asked about their home life, they were about as honest as the general public.

But employees who had just been asked about work at the bank cheated 16 percent more.

“Bank employees are not more dishonest than others,” said Ernst

More folks jumping into state labor pool Although the unemployment rate in Washington rose to 6 percent in October from 5.7 percent in September, there’s good news in the numbers, a state labor economist said Wednesday. The size of the state workforce grew by 12,200 as more people started looking for jobs, the Employment Security Department employee said. People who weren’t considered part of the workforce because they didn’t have jobs and weren’t looking for them now think they have a chance to find work, he said.

“Prospects are improving, so more people are entering the workforce and beginning to look for jobs.”

Amazon.com makes pledge to go green Amazon.com, criticized by an environmental group this year for being among the dirtiest technology companies, has pledged to reach 100 percent renewable energy usage for its cloud computing division. In an undated post on its website titled “AWS and Sustainable Energy,” the Seattle-based company announced the commitment without giving a time frame or declaring any renewable energy investments. The move represents a major shift for Amazon, according to the environmental group Greenpeace, which gave Amazon an F in an April report for failing to commit to renewable energy and for siting new data centers close to “dirty” energy sources such as coal-fired power plants.

Chrysler promises best-in-class fuel economy of 31 mpg on the highway with its eight-speed transmission — now standard — and new safety features, including forward collision warning. The new 300 goes on sale early next year with a starting price of $32,390 including shipping.

Ford Explorer: The SUV that kicked off America’s love affair 20 years ago is getting a refresh for 2016. New features include front and rear cameras equipped with washers — an industry first — and a hands-free liftgate

that can sense the driver’s foot.

Ford says the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with 270 horsepower should deliver fuel economy similar to the 2.0liter EcoBoost it replaces. The Explorer goes on sale next summer. Pricing wasn’t released.

Honda HR-V: Honda enters the subcompact SUV market — one of the fastest growing in the industry — with its Fit-based HR-V. The tiny five-seater is cleverly designed to maximize space; with the second-row seats folded, there’s 59 cubic feet of cargo volume. That’s 23 more cubic feet than one of its chief rivals, the Nissan Juke. Like the Juke, its back door handles are hidden, giving it a sporty, coupe-like look.

The HR-V has a 138-horsepower

1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and the choice of a continuously variable automatic transmission or a six-speed manual. All-wheel drive is optional. The HR-V goes on sale in the U.S. this winter.

Pricing and fuel economy weren’t released.

Mazda CX-3: Mazda joins the subcompact SUV market with the CX-3. The tiny utility — at 168 inches, it’s about the same length as the Buick Encore — will be sold in North America with Mazda’s 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine, which gets up to 40 mpg on the highway in the Mazda3 compact car.

It will also have a six-speed automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive. The CX-3 goes on See SHOW, Page A8

Does banking culture foster cheating?

Fehr of the University of Zurich, author of the study published Wednesday by the journal Nature.

But he said when reminded of their job they become more dishonest, so something about the culture of banking “seems to make them more dishonest.”

The American Bankers Association dismissed the study: “While this study looks at one bank, America’s 6,000 banks set a very high bar when it comes to the honesty and integrity of their employees. Banks take the fiduciary responsibility they have for their customers very seriously.”

Researchers studied 128 employees at a single bank (even

Bartell Drugs is once again partnering with the Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts for children in need by collecting new, unwrapped toys during its annual Salvation Army Toy ‘N Joy drive, Monday through Dec. 13. The toy donations will be accepted at Bartell Drugs locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish

the country where it is located was not revealed).

They gave them what is a fairly standard honesty test. They were told to flip a coin 10 times; each time they flipped they could earn $20 if it matched what researchers had requested — sometimes heads, sometimes tails. An honest person would report matching the requested flip result about 50 percent of the time. But when workers were asked questions about their work at the bank, placing their work at the forefront in their minds, they self-reported the result that paid off 58 percent of the time.

Six outside experts in business ethics and psychology praised the study to various degrees.

Duke University behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely, author of the book “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty,” said he agreed with the study authors that one possible solution is an honesty oath for bankers, like doctors’ Hippocratic oath.

The program, that grants wishes to Puget Sound individuals and families during the holiday season, has fulfilled more than $550,000 in wishes, ranging from basic needs to special requests, since the program was developed in 1998.

China to put a lid on coal consumption Chinese officials have imposed limits on growth in energy consumption aimed at making the country less dependent on coal. Under a State Council’s development plan issued Wednesday, energy consumption by 2020 must be no more than 28 percent higher than 2013. For coal specifically, the increase would be limited to 16 percent.

The plan was released a week after the country announced it would stop the growth of its carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 at the latest. China is the world’s biggest energy user and emits more greenhouse gases than any other country.

Family Dollar delays vote on merger plan Family Dollar said Wednesday that it plans to delay a shareholder vote on its proposed acquisition by Dollar Tree nearly two weeks, to give federal antitrust authorities more time to review the deal.

The vote is now scheduled for Dec. 23. Matthews-based Family Dollar said it expects to receive updated information from the Federal Trade Commission about the agency’s review of the Dollar Tree deal and update shareholders in the first week of December. “The special meeting has been rescheduled to provide Family Dollar shareholders with sufficient time to review the additional disclosure in advance of the meeting,” the company said.

Market Report THE DAILY HERALD

THE DAY ON WALL STREET U.S. financial markets pulled back slightly from their recent record highs Wednesday, ending lower for the first time this week. The Dow and S&P 500 mostly hovered slightly below the all-time high closes set a day earlier.

Investors sifted through a batch of favorable corporate earnings as they waited for the Federal Reserve to publish the minutes from its late-October policy meeting. Traders hoped to glean fresh insight into when the central bank will raise a benchmark interest rate that affects many consumer and business loans.

Amazon employee Brian Weiss, 54, was reprimanded by managers in April after he voiced concerns during an employee meeting about security in the employee parking lot.

Weiss, who has worked at an Amazon warehouse in Phoenix for six years, said he was called into the human-resources office after the meeting and was told by supervisors that he was being loud and disrespectful. Weiss said he spoke loudly so others could hear him in the noisy warehouse.

Weiss said he felt

uncomfortable with how managers handled the situation, prompting him to file a complaint with the labor board, which investigated and found sufficient evidence to initiate action against Amazon.

Amazon’s lawyers and the board spent about two hours negotiating behind closed doors Tuesday before reaching a deal.

Weiss said he was pleased with the settlement, which allows employees to communicate more freely about pay and working conditions without fear of retribution.

clocking out for the day.

In 2011, federal regulators investigated an Amazon warehouse near Allentown, Pennsylvania, due to concerns that high temperatures in the facility resulted in many workers going to hospital emergency rooms for treatment. That prompted Amazon to have ambulances on standby in its parking lot.

Still, unions haven’t gained a significant presence in any of Amazon’s U.S. warehouses.

Ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, the National Labor Relations Board charged the company of overly broad rules that directed workers to always act “in the best interests of Amazon” and prohibited them from sharing information about one another, in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Amazon agreed to rescind the rules in question and clarify the rights of its workers as a result of the settlement.

More than 40,000 Amazon employees work at the online retailer’s U.S. warehouses, packing up books, toys, electronics and other goods for quick delivery. As such, the company’s labor issues are more comparable to brickand-mortar retailers like

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp., which have also faced Labor Board scrutiny for workplace rules.

Amazon has a financial interest in preventing workers from organizing.

Median weekly wages for union workers in the transportation and warehousing industry in 2013 were 33 percent higher than their non-union counterparts, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A union workforce demanding better wages poses a threat to Amazon, which operates on razorthin margins and is facing investor criticism about its spending. Last month, Amazon forecast sales and profit for the holiday quarter that missed analysts’ projections, underlining the limits to Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos’s strategy of spending big to fuel growth.

“Amazon is such a massive company, a ruling against it would send a strong message,” said Andy Marshall, president of Teamsters Local 104 in Phoenix, which has participated in failed union campaigns at an Amazon warehouse there. “It’ll make people less hesitant to speak up and try to make their working situations a little better.”

IN OUR VIEW | Standards for student testing

Settle on a test for graduation It’s story problem time.

Please get out a No. 2 pencil and remember to show your work. Begin: Ann will be a high school senior in 2016. In order to graduate, Ann will have to take the current test used to measure her proficiency as well as a new test based on the new national common core standards that will be used to determine if Ann is ready for college.

State schools superintendent Randy Dorn wants the Legislature to drop the current test and use the new test starting in 2016, saving the state $30 million over the next twoyear budget cycle. Dorn also doesn’t want to make passage of the test a requirement for graduation. Meanwhile, the state Board of Education isn’t

sure it wants to drop testing as a graduation requirement, but does want to drop as a requirement that high school seniors pass a biology exam to earn a high school diploma.

Instead the board wants a more comprehensive science standard for graduation.

How many bottles of aspirin will Ann, her parents and her teachers go through waiting for state officials and the Legislature to settle on a method to measure student achievement and determine if Ann and her fellow students are ready for college, work and life after high school?

Dorn’s concerns about administering two tests to students are understandable.

These tests are time-consuming and nerve-wracking for all concerned, particularly the

students. Expecting them to take two sets of tests — even though they only have to pass one of them to graduate — is unreasonable. That’s not to mention the amount of classroom time two sets of tests will steal from students and teachers. If dropping one of the two tests can save the state $30 million, all the more reason to do so.

Dorn would rather that the new common core test be administered in the 11th grade, allowing the results to show where a student needs remediation during his or her senior year. But Dorn doesn’t want the test result to be used as a graduation requirement.

We disagree. Testing should always be used as a tool that shows where a student and teachers need to concentrate

further study. But a certain level of proficiency on a test, when combined with a student’s overall record of achievement, ought to continue to be used as a graduation requirement.

Likewise, a comprehensive science standard makes more sense than a biology test alone.

But can we stop moving the target every few years for students and teachers? How long ago was it that the WASL was the final word on testing?

At some point, state officials, education experts and the Legislature need to settle on a testing standard and a method of measuring proficiency and stick with it.

If we can’t do that for our students, we’ve fully earned a failing grade.

also wants exorbitant new gas taxes in order to cut carbon emissions and pay for new environmental programs.

We have had single-party rule in Everett, Snohomish County, and Washington state for decades now.

For those of you who are paying attention, you might surmise that Democrats simply view you as money generating entities — nothing more. You may have also noticed that Democrats have overturned every tax limiting initiative that you and I have passed.

The last time we had an honest balanced budget (or even surplus) was in the mid-1990s during the period when Republicans controlled both the House and Senate in Olympia, and they did it without raising taxes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■POLICE

Unmarked cars are very valuable The news article “Police defend use of unmarked patrol cars” caught my attention, big time.

I am in full support of this procedure if it results in making drivers pay for the traffic infractions that I see every day! Drivers who do not stop at four-way stop intersections and many other moves that are dangerous and foolish, besides against the law.

I have taken the AARP driving courses for many years and I know how to drive correctly, but there are numerous boneheads who don’t know or care — changing lanes without a turn signal, not stopping at red lights before making “free” right turns, and numerous other situations.

I’ve been through two Citizen Academy courses, Mukilteo and Lynnwood, and found them very interesting. One officer with whom I did a ride-along showed me where he parked near a fourway stop and said he caught lots of drivers going through without stopping.

For those of you who disagree with this idea, remember, if you do what’s right in the first place, then the police have no reason to stop you, do they?

■■OPINIONS

Let tolerance be the guide In response to the recent letters chastising the pastor for expressing his opinion/ convictions regarding the state of society today: He has every right to express himself in a letter to the editor. And the Herald has a right to publish it — just as it published rants against it. It’s PC nowadays to mock Christianity and tell Christians to sit down and shut up. But they have as much right to speak up as anyone else ... at least so far, maybe not much longer. There are those who want to censor any reference to God or Judeo/ Christian values. Christians won’t behead you for mocking them, God or their beliefs.

The founder of Christianity allowed himself to be mocked, tortured and crucified — so he’s the example. People can say/think whatever they want about Christians. Just don’t tell them to be quiet or tell the editor to censor them. Tolerance should work both ways.

■■WASHINGTON

Beware of new wave of taxes Washington state residents can see the tide lapping at their feet, and if they would take a moment to look farther out, they will see the big wave headed their way. An overwhelming wave of new taxes.

The city of Everett just passed much higher business license fees, higher taxes on utilities, higher car tab fees, higher permitting fees and new taxes on cable and garbage bills.

Snohomish County raised property taxes, and gave its executives a 10 percent raise!

Statewide, I-1351 will add extremely large increases to property taxes, and add up to 10 cents to the gas tax, but still without completely funding the whopping $4.7 billion in new expenditures.

Write to store’s headquarters In response to the letter “Panhandlers ruining store” about the QFC on Broadway: Something I have found effective: write or email the Kroger/ QFC Corporation and state your grievance. This will be an action on your part that will receive immediate attention.

I’ve shopped at that store, on occasion. It’s always been a somewhat “busy” store. The Kroger/QFC store at that location is substantially important to the community, and therefore, to the corporation.

I feel that a proactive communication to the Kroger/QFC family will be taken seriously and the corporation will, at least, investigate and enjoy positive results on your behalf and other shoppers’. Be sure to include the address and ZIP code of the store when you write.

■■IDEAS AND REALITY

Online forum explores beliefs There have recently been a number of letters to the editor addressing the issue of differences in beliefs and why it matters. We need to recognize that ideas have consequences and people do act based on what they believe to be true.

There is a monthly online forum, the Apologetics Forum Snohomish County, which addresses the questions that many thinking individuals have about the purpose of our existence and what we believe. The basic question that needs to be answered is “Does what you believe to be true match reality?” It comes down to what evidence you have for “your truth.” Does archaeology, fulfilled prophecy, science, etc. support what you believe?

The Forum has been bringing in speakers with expertise in each of the different areas of inquiry for the past year.

For example, this Friday, Dr. John Byl, with a doctorate in astronomy, will speak on the topic “War of the Worldviews: Christianity vs. Naturalism.”

Details at ApologeticsForum.org. Readers with an interest in answers to questions on existence and purpose may find these lectures informative and challenging.

The politics of distraction is the real plague

I

wonder. Of the miniscule number of Americans who voted, how many cast their votes because of “Obama’s Katrina?” You know, the perilous plague that, according to voices in many heads and on Fox “news,” the president of the United States deliberately brought here as revenge for slavery. Or, less apocalyptically, was it because they agreed with SID SCHWAB the repetitive claim that the president’s response to Ebola — it’s everywhere! — proves we can’t trust this government? The government of the country that has hosted a total of four people with Ebola and which now has zero?

Was it ISIS massing on our southern border, ready to march into Arkansas holding hands with Mexican drug lords, as the newly-elected senator from there warned a pre-election town hall? Or fear, shared with Iowa’s pistol-packing (for protection against the government!) next senator, of Agenda 21, that nefarious suggestion from the UN that countries manage their land responsibly?

Because the thing is, poll after poll has shown that most Americans support the goals of the Democratic Party and reject those of today’s Republicans. Social Security. Medicare. Minimum wage. Medicaid.

Taxes. Military spending. Job creation.

Even unions! So how to explain the sweep, like an ocean-heated hurricane, of the party promising to do the opposite of what most people think is needed?

In the House of Representatives, gerrymandering by Republican state legislatures has pretty much locked up GOP seats forever; for that to change, the ocean would have to be tippling at the turf of Topeka. (Speaking of Kansas: they reelected their tea party’s dream governor, who’d promised a tax-cutting, job-creating, budget-balancing, deregulated Republican paradise but delivered only debt and lagging job growth.) According to several analyses, laws aimed at suppressing minority voting in several states had the desired effect. Nor should we discount the deadly combination of mealy messaging by Democratic candidates and the astounding apathy of their voters. In Utah an incumbent senator, rightly admired for his strong advocacy of environmental protection among other important things, chose to run on birth control. Pathetic. But none of these provides a compelling answer.

The tougher the times, the more effective propaganda is. The more challenging the problems, the easier it is to get people to look the other way. Which means that, today, convincing voters that ISIS is about to look at their tax returns while giving them Ebola before chopping their heads off in Benghazi, works. When the agenda behind the distraction is antithetical to the needs of everyone but the people behind the distraction behind the agenda, distraction is the agenda.

Which clarifies the real explanation: Truth-telling has become a political loser.

In 21st-century America, we don’t want to hear the truth, much less know how to recognize it. So, against the rising tide, here’s a list of truths we hold to be self-evident, if hard to swallow: Due to human activity, the climate is changing. The ocean is unsustainably acidifying. Tax cuts don’t pay for themselves.

Wars don’t, either. Corporations won’t hire unless there are customers to buy their products; massive wealth concentration works against that. Privatizing public education has led to rich executives and poor students. Same-sex marriage threatens no one else’s. Science is indispensible to our future. So are roads and bridges. Separation honors and protects religion. Eliminating the EPA will increase deadly pollution.

By maintaining equal onramps to the information superhighway, net neutrality encourages, not stifles, innovation. Not all corporations do right by their employees or our country: unions and regulations provide needed restraints. Kids born into poverty usually stay that way. It’s easier to make good choices when there are choices.

Health care access saves money. And lives.

It shouldn’t escape notice that solutions, if there are to be any, while demanding sacrifice from us all, will disproportionately affect a small number of very wealthy and powerful people. People who, coincidentally, control right wing media and their purchased politicians.

People who rightly figure that keeping the electorate riled up about the wrong things works out just fine. For them.

State budget outlook predicts shortfall

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Washington state lawmakers are facing a projected budget gap of more than $2 billion for the next two-year budget ending in mid-2017, in large part due to a new voter-approved initiative to shrink class sizes, according to a state budget outlook released Wednesday.

That projected shortfall does not include half of the expected financial obligation needed to increase funding for education as directed by the state Supreme Court, nor does it count the additional amount needed if collective bargaining agreements

with state workers are approved.

A four-year outlook released by the Washington state Economic and Revenue Forecast Council showed that the projected shortfall for the following biennium ending in 2019 would be even larger, at $4.7 billion. If lawmakers use funds from emergency accounts and other transfers, that gap drops to about $1.2 billion for the next biennium, and about $3 billion for the one after that.

The cost of Initiative 1351, which was approved by voters earlier this month, is expected to be about $2 billion through the middle of 2017, and nearly $2.7 billion through the middle of 2019.

“I think we have a significant problem here,” said Democratic state Rep. Ross Hunter, chairman of the Revenue Forecast Council and the top budget writer in the House. “We have some work to do.”

But Hunter cautioned that it’s not so easy to just suspend the initiative, as lawmakers have done in the past with other costly measures. Under Washington law, voter-approved initiatives cannot be amended within two years after passage unless lawmakers approve it by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.

“There’s typically a lot of reluctance to change those,” he said.

“The question is, are there two

thirds in the Legislature to make a change to it? It’s hard to get two thirds of the Legislature to agree to when we take a lunch break.”

The outlook was released along with the state’s updated revenue forecast for Washington state’s current two-year $34 billion budget cycle, which showed that income projection increased by $155 million since September’s forecast for the current biennium that ends next summer. It also showed an increase of $275 million for the next two-year budget cycle that begins July 1.

The projected overall state budget for 2017-19 is expected to be $37 billion.

Gov. Jay Inslee is preparing a

two-year budget proposal to be released next month. Lawmakers will return to Olympia in January, and the House and Senate will each present budget proposals during the 105-day legislative session. However, many anticipate special sessions because of the challenges presented by a state Supreme Court contempt order over lawmakers’ lack of progress on fixing the way the state pays for public education.

The court has promised to reconvene and impose sanctions and other remedial measures if lawmakers do not make plans to solve the problem by the end of See BUDGET, Page B2

Ospreys get new home away from hot lights

By Rachel Anne Seymour Kitsap Sun

POULSBO — While Jim Kaiser can rebuild an osprey nest in 15 minutes, the birds will be the final judges on whether the new nest and platform will be home when they return in April.

Kaiser, a former U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist, and the Kitsap Audubon Society as well as Puget Sound Energy teamed up Tuesday afternoon to relocate the osprey nest at Strawberry Field by Poulsbo Middle School.

A pair of ospreys, also known as seahawks, had been nesting on an 80-foot light pole at the soccer field for about five years, coming back each spring after migrating south for winter.

While the lights are near a small pond that is stocked with fish, the birds’ main diet, it also gave the hawks a vantage point to watch for eagles, which try to eat young osprey.

What the osprey couple didn’t take into account was the fire hazard of building a flammable nest on hot lights.

There also was a concern about debris and excrement falling onto the field and people.

“Right here we have kids playing soccer in the splatter zone,” said Gene Bullock, Kitsap Audubon Society member.

Platforms close to the old nest site, such as the one in Poulsbo, have a 95 percent success rate, Kaiser said. The platform was erected in the southwest corner of the field.

Using sticks and materials from the old nest also help the high success rate.

Jerry Lawson (right), of NW Utility Services, pilots the bucket, as Jim Kaiser uses a shovel Tuesday to remove an osprey nest from the lights above Strawberry Field in Poulsbo. A pair of ospreys had been nesting on the 80-foot light pole at the soccer field for about five years, coming back each spring after migrating south for winter.

PSE donated the pole and manpower to install it as well as three deterrents on half of the field lights. The other three lights are not double sided, making it difficult for birds to balance sticks and build nests there, Kaiser said.

Overall, the platform project and deterrents costs about $8,600, Bullock said.

The local Audubon Society donated $1,000, individual donations raised about $600 and the Poulsbo Rotary Club gave $400.

After PSE’s pole and manpower donation, an anonymous donor supplied about $5,000, more than half of the expenses, Bullock said.

Although the old nest wasn’t near power lines, removing it and putting up the deterrents without a nesting platform could have sent the osprey into an even more hazardous situation near

power lines, said Mel Walters, with PSE’s avian protection program.

A nest near power lines can start fires and cause outages, which are expensive for PSE and its customers, as well as dangerous for the birds.

After putting the pole in place, Kaiser shoveled the old nest off the light and gathered up the sticks with the help of workers.

He then built a new nest on the platform, which is about 47.5 feet in the air.

The new nest will be smaller than the old, which the osprey added to each year.

The old one was about 5 feet wide and about 2 feet deep. And it was cleaner than most Kaiser has seen, meaning there was little trash, fishing line or bailing twine that can wrap around birds and kill them.

Oregon cities seeking approval Washington to sue to tax legal marijuana sales over nuclear vapors Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — City officials seeking to levy local taxes on legal sales of marijuana in Oregon plan to take their fight to the Legislature next year.

The League of Oregon Cities says it will ask legislators to amend the marijuana legalization measure passed by voters two weeks ago to explicitly allow local taxes being sought by at least 70 cities, including Portland and several of its suburban neighbors.

Sponsors of Measure 91 say they will fight the local taxes, which they argue could drive up the cost of legal marijuana to the point that it could encourage pot users to continue buying on the black market.

The fight over marijuana taxation is one of several thorny issues the Legislature may face next year following the passage of Measure 91.

Legislative leaders are considering establishing a special Senate-House committee to consider the regulatory and tax issues swirling around the coming of legal marijuana to Oregon.

“People are going to make all sorts of jokes about having a ‘joint’ committee,” said Rep. Peter

Aides to both Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, and House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said they are considering requests from several legislators to establish a special marijuana committee.

“That’s definitely something she is receptive to,” said Kotek’s spokesman, Jared Mason-Gere.

“She thinks it is pretty important that the implementation of 91 is done properly.”

SPOKANE — Washington plans to sue the U.S. Department of Energy and its contractor to protect workers from hazardous vapors at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the nation’s most polluted nuclear site, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Wednesday.

A report last month found the Energy Department does not have an adequate system to detect whether harmful vapors are sickening workers.

More than 40 workers in the past year have reported smelling vapors and then becoming ill after working around some of Hanford’s 177 underground storage tanks holding nuclear waste. The workers were checked by doctors and cleared to return to work.

The nuclear reservation near Richland contains waste left over from the Cold War-era production of plutonium for nuclear weapons.

Ferguson said Wednesday that Hanford workers since 1987 have been reporting exposure to harmful vapors, with no solution found.

“Hanford workers face a very real and immediate health risk,” Ferguson said. “The federal government has a responsibility to keep these Washington workers safe, and I intend to hold them accountable.”

Under federal law, a lawsuit can be filed 90 days after the intent to sue is issued, Ferguson said. “There is a 90-day clock starting now,” he said at a news conference in Seattle.

The Department of Energy did not immediately respond to telephone calls seeking comment. Its contractor, Washington River Protection Solutions, also did not immediately comment.

Ferguson said the intent of his action is to produce a legally enforceable agreement or court order to protect workers from the vapors. If there are productive talks with the other parties, his office may not file a lawsuit, he said.

In the past couple of decades, tanks workers have reported “nosebleeds, headaches, watery eyes, burning skin, contact dermatitis, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, coughing, sore throats, expectorating, See VAPORS, Page B2

In the home invasion, police said three men fought with the homeowner and his wife.

Shots were exchanged and the three fled, with one of them apparently wounded.

themselves to come into the Legislature in 2015 and say, ‘Hey let us do it.”’

The league of cities also wants the Legislature to change the way localities can ban retail sales.

The November 2016 general election is the first in which voters could ban retail sales in their city or county. That has upset some city officials, who note that the OLCC could start handing out retail licenses as early as January of that year.

Winkels said this sets up a scenario in which a city could face liability for shutting down an existing business. At a minimum, he’d like to allow earlier elections. Ideally, he said, city and county governing boards should be able to make the decision.

Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons, including the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. About 56 million gallons of the most highly radioactive and toxic wastes are stored in the underground tanks. Cleanup of the site costs more than $2 billion per year, and the work is expected to take decades.

The Department of Energy has said monitors worn by tank workers have found no samples with chemicals close to the federal limit for occupational exposure.

Lynden: No rifles The Lynden Pioneer Museum is removing World War II-era weapons from a current exhibit to avoid violating a new state law requiring background checks on gun transfers.

Museum director Troy Luginbill said it would be a violation of Initiative 594 to keep the 11 rifles past Dec. 4. The weapons will be returned to collectors who lent them.

Huskies to make snap decision With Tanigawa’s struggles to snap the ball to the quarterback, UW may go with Criste at center, C5

Lynch’s odd week continues Seahawks’ enigmatic RB fined $100k for not speaking to media, speaks to media about shoes and music.

year then-coach Kevin McGuff offered a scholarship.

Urged by her father, Gregg, to be sure of her decision, she waited about six months before announcing publicly what she knew all along in her heart — she wanted to be a Husky.

“Honestly, (coming to Washington) is a dream come true,” Kelli Kingma said. “I watched my sister play here and this has always been my dream school.”

In addition, she very much wanted to stay in Seattle. “My family is really close,” she explained, “and I could never go far away from them. Basketball is my first love, my passion, but at the end of the day, it’s my family that’s more important to me. And I couldn’t sacrifice that.”

By the time she arrived at Washington, McGuff had left to become the head coach at Ohio State University. Neighbors, a former

RENTON — It’s been a strange week for one of the Seattle’s Seahawks’ most unique players.

On Tuesday, Marshawn Lynch was part of a group of Seahawks players that paid a visit to Marysville Pilchuck High School, and that trip ended up including a trip to a gas station where a fan left his wallet, only to have it returned to his house by Lynch and Ricardo Lockette.

Then on Wednesday, Lynch was fined $100,000 by the NFL for another violation of the league’s media policy, not long after which he spent roughly 10 minutes talking to the media, only to answer nearly every question by talking either about his shoes or his favorite hip hop artists.

There’s a lot of layers to him, I think there’s a lot of hidden things he does. He’s a good person, a good guy, he does a lot of good things for people, and you want him on your side. I can tell you that much.”

Lynch’s fine was the result of him not being available to the media, and it was so steep because it included not just $50,000 for his latest violation — Lynch was warned he might be fined if he didn’t comply, then talked to reporters after the Oakland game, but wasn’t available after games against New York and Kansas City — but also the $50,000 that was held in abeyance last year under the condition that he would cooperate going forward.

So on the day Lynch got word of his fine, he decided to play nice with the media...sort of.

Almost every question, whether the topic was his health or Arizona’s defense, was met with Lynch either talking about the Nike

EATTLE — In her first season with the University of Washington women’s basketball team, Kelli Kingma often feels the presence of older sister and former Husky Kristi Kingma.

All she has to do is look around.

In the team’s training room, Kristi Kingma’s picture is displayed in a gallery of UW greats. In the dining room, her name is on the wall in several places, citing her many accomplishments in four standout Washington seasons.

“Kristi was a big name,” her sister acknowledged.

Indeed, Kristi Kingma is No. 14 on the school’s career scoring list and holds a handful of school scoring records, including most 3-point goals in one game (11) and one season (86). But this season Kelli Kingma will begin writing her own college basketball story, and it is one that could be every bit as successful as her older sibling.

According to UW coach Mike Neighbors, it

Still, Neighbors added, “the comparisons are inevitable and they’re going to keep coming. But over the course of her four years here, I want Kelli to develop her own identity.”

Like her sister, Kelli Kingma was a top player at Mill Creek’s Jackson High School.

The Huskies took notice early, and during an unofficial visit to the UW campus in the spring of her high school freshman

State Tournament

Jackson’s stout defense key to playoff run Vanaelst, George lead revitalized backline against nationally-ranked Skyline in state semifinals

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Jackson’s Lynnae George shoots and scores a goal in a first-round game of the 4A state tournament against Curtis at Everett Memorial Stadium last week.

INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

A little over two months ago, the Jackson girls soccer team opened its season with a 4-0 loss to Skyline. Friday night, the Timberwolves face Skyline again, only this time the stakes are much higher.

If the Timberwolves can avenge that early defeat, they will play for the Class 4A state championship. The Timberwolves (15-4-1) and Spartans (14-2-2) face off in a semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.

The Timberwolves have been strong defensively in the postseason — they’ve allowed just two goals in four games — which wasn’t exactly the case in their

season opener.

“Looking back at the goals Skyline scored, a lot of them were really good finishes, but I think a lot of them could have been defended earlier and not even allowed the shot to happen had we been a little bit more organized defensively,” Jackson coach Jesslyn Kellerman said.

Anchoring the Jackson defense has been senior goalkeeper Callie Vanaelst, who has been nothing short of outstanding in the playoffs. Vanaelst saved two shots in a shootout victory over Curtis in the first round of the state playoffs, and recorded a shutout against South Kitsap in the quarterfinals.

“It’s been really nice in the

he Western Washington pheasant season ends with a bang next week as state Fish and Wildlife Department release-site managers plant extra pen-raised birds for the Thanksgiving holiday. Putting out the extra pheasants has become a tradition with many state wildlife area managers, including those from this area, but it often depends on having birds available and, equally as important, having volunteers on hand to assist with the plants.

Both factors are in good shape this season, according to Skagit Wildlife Area manager Belinda Schuster and Snoqualmie Wildlife Area manager Brian Boehm.

Schuster handles the Bow Hill release site north of Burlington and the Leque Island (Smith Farm) site west of Stanwood, while Boehm covers the three Snoqualmie Valley sites — Cherry Valley, Crescent Lake and Stillwater, plus the Ebey Island site, mostly south of the Highway 2 trestle.

Schuster will be planting both Tuesday and Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving Day, and will put out about 60 extra birds Wednesday at Leque Island, and 30 extra at Bow Hill. Boehm prefers not to announce numbers, but says he will have extra pheasants and will be planting at least Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at all sites. Pheasants are normally planted for hunting the next day.

Remember that hunter orange and non-toxic shot are required on the wildlife areas.

For maps and directions to the release sites, go online to www.wdfw.wa.gov, then in the search window — upper right corner of the home page — type “western washington pheasant release sites.” Click on “Western Washington Pheasant Release Program,” then click on the small state map in the enclosure window, right side. Scroll down to “Region 4,” and on down to Skagit County, Bow Hill, and

PICK OF THE WEEK | Squid jigging

A better-than-average squid jigging season is drawing good numbers of nighttime anglers to lighted piers around Puget Sound. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said the Edmonds pier has been one of the best. “It’s prime time now through about mid-January,” Chamberlain said.

Stay away from large (minus) tides, and try to choose the last couple of hours of the incoming tide and high slack. While it’s definitely a night

Trout The last of the three special fall trout plants will be made, or will have been made, sometime between Nov. 17 and 26, in four area lakes. Lake Tye, on the west side of Monroe, was scheduled for 2,000 fish (making a total of 10,000 for the three plants, Oct. 13 through Nov. 26); North and South Gissberg Ponds, 1,250 fish (3,750 total), and 7,500 (28.500 total) in Cranberry, on the north end of Whidbey Island. Remember that North Gissberg Pond is restricted to juveniles only.

All four lakes have a bonus limit of 10 trout, and they’re running 10 to 12 inches, with a few larger.

Videos on basic and cold weather trout fishing techniques can be found at the Fish and Wildlife Department’s YouTube page: https:// www.youtube.com/thewdfw.

Derby Last Saturday’s Puget Sound Anglers, Sno-King Chapter, members and guests Blackmouth Derby hit the water under ideal weather conditions and with a great morning high tide, according to spokesman Jim Fahey. Participants watched a pod of orcas move from Kingston past Point No Point — incredible morning entertainment — then got down to serious fishing and found some good winter blackmouth action. Fahey said 53 anglers weighed 19 hatchery chinook, which ain’t half shabby.

Top dog was Kenneth Johnson, at 10.78 pounds (cleaned weight); second, Tim Stumpf at 10.03 pounds, and third, Lance Husby at 8.07 pounds. The top eight fish were all

postseason because Callie has just come up huge,” Kellerman said. “If it weren’t for Callie, we probably wouldn’t be here. Two saves in a shootout, that’s just unheard of.

Against South Kitsap she had two three-onone saves, one really high save. She’s just playing with a lot of confidence and trusting her instincts. … It’s been really fun to watch her play like we all know that she can.”

Vanaelst’s motivation is simple: She doesn’t want to see her final season end.

“Senior year, I’m just playing with everything I’ve got,” she said. “I don’t want to stop playing — ever.”

Senior defender Lynnae George is another player who has been key to the Timberwolves’ improvement on the backline, even though she has a not-so-secret desire to play offense. “I think since I’ve been here, every other game Lynnae has asked if she could play forward,” Kellerman said.

Feeling that the offense needed a kick start, Kellerman recently took George up on her offer. In Jackson’s 2-1 shootout win over Curtis, George scored the Timberwolves’ lone goal in regulation.

“She’s just such a good player,” Kellerman said. “If I could replicate Lynnae and put her in the 10 field positions, we would be a dynamite team.”

Another key contributor to the Timberwolves’ success this season has been junior midfielder/forward Drew Locknane. Locknane is one of the leading scorers for a Jackson offense that has tallied 57 goals.

“Everybody has really focused and everybody has made a difference, but you can’t really not talk about Drew,” Kellerman said.

“Last year, she was a factor and she helped our team, but this year she’s just taken it upon herself to be the person that teams have to stop. She’s the forward that teams have to mark. She’s the person that people know about, and even with that pressure, she’s still been able to produce goals and produce assists.”

The Timberwolves’ first game against Skyline was so long ago that Kellerman hasn’t referenced it much at practice this week.

“We’ve talked about it in the sense that

fishery, Chamberlain said squid sometimes can be taken around dusk. Jigs have been trending toward the smaller sizes, he said, in the 1½- to 2½-inch range, almost all are glow, and while a wide range of color patterns will work, he said a good place to start would be with pinks or reds, followed by greens and blues.

And, he said, if the seals come in on the tide, forget about it.

Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sport Center in Lynnwood said Possession Bar so far this winter has been about as good as he’s seen in quite a while and, combined with Double Bluff, Scatchet Head and Point No Point, the local blackmouth season on the whole has been “very decent.”

State checks at the Port of Everett ramp on Friday showed 30 anglers with 10 chinook, and at the Camano State Park ramp it was seven anglers with four fish. On Saturday, some 31 anglers at the Hoodsport Hatchery on Hood Canal had 24 chums.

Crab State biologist and local crab manager Don Velasquez at WDFW’s Mill Creek office, said the winter recreational crab season is going very well so far.

“We aren’t receiving any particular complaints, which is a pretty good indicator,” he said.

Commercial crabbing is closed for now and the tribes are off the water, at least until catch data is available and in-season quota adjustments can be considered.

Velasquez says his off-the-cuff feeling is that there’s an abundance of crab in local waters this winter which, if it proves out, could mean more commercial openings. To recreationists, Velasquez says, “I wouldn’t count too much on being the only ones out there the rest of the winter.”

He says the north half of Saratoga Passage has looked pretty good so far for recreationists; the Everett area less so.

Columbia River system Boat anglers on the Cowlitz averaged one adult coho per rod over the weekend, and bank anglers averaged just over two-thirds of a fish per rod, according to WDFW biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. Fish are still being taken in the lower river, Hymer said, but the barrier dam area has been best. Sea-run cutthroat and a

it’s nice to have an opportunity to redeem one of our losses, but as far as talking about (the game), it was so long ago that it feels like we’re a completely different team right now,” Kellerman said. “I’m not even watching that game film going into this game because I think we’re such a different team going into this game that watching it isn’t really going to be beneficial to us.”

Added George: “It’s going to be different this time because we’ve really been working hard, defensively and offensively. Communication was a big issue during that game, but we’ve picked it up and I feel like our leaders, our junior and seniors, have taken responsibility for that communication.

We’re prepared. We’ve had this whole season to improve since that game and we’re at a peak right now.”

Should the Timberwolves defeat Skyline — which is ranked No. 17 in the nation by topdrawersoccer.com — they will clinch the highest finish at state in school history.

Jackson has placed third once and fourth twice.

Kellerman, in her third season as head coach at Jackson, said she started to see the potential for this season two years ago, after the Timberwolves posted a 7-6-3 record and failed to qualify for districts. “I remember talking with my coaching staff (after that first season) and we even said two years ago that this was our year,” Kellerman said.

The following year, the Timberwolves finished 14-3-3 and reached the state tournament. That season was highlighted by a 16-match unbeaten streak (13-0-3) that ran from Sept. 19 until a 3-1 loss to EdmondsWoodway in the 4A district championship game.

That set the stage for this year.

“At the beginning of the season, our goals were to win Wesco, which we did, win Wesco districts, which we did, and win a state championship,” Kellerman said.

“We knew that we had that team. At the end of August, the end of November seems really far away. We knew we had the team and we knew we had the personnel to do it, but as we got closer and closer, it’s kind of been fun to watch the girls realize, ‘Oh my gosh, we can actually do this. This is attainable.’”

few early winter steelhead are being caught around the trout hatchery, even though the river has been dirty below the Toutle.

Hymer said the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery adult coho return (79,174 to date) is the largest since at least 1969.

State biologist Paul Hoffarth on the Columbia said the last two weeks has seen a substantial increase in the steelhead catch around the Ringold hatchery above the Tri-Cities, after having been very slow in October.

Checks last week showed 139 anglers with 68 steelhead caught and 62 hatchery fish kept. Hoffarth said fishermen averaged a steelhead for every 3.3 hours of fishing.

Duck stamp raise According to Ducks Unlimited spokesman Matt Coffey, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Duck Stamp Act of 2014 on Monday and, if approved by the Senate, the Act would increase the cost of the federal duck stamp from $15 to $25.

The last time the price of the stamp was increased was in 1991.

“Ducks Unlimited strongly supports this effort to increase the conservation impact of the federal duck stamp,” DU’s CEO Dale Hall was quoted as saying. “The additional duck stamp funding provided by waterfowl hunters and other conservationists will not only conserve critical waterfowl habitat, but will also help ensure the future of our waterfowling traditions.”

Hendrick tabs Rodden as Kahne crew chief Associated Press CONCORD, N.C. — Kasey Kahne will have a new crew chief in 2015, ending the second-longest active pairing in the Sprint Cup Series.

Hendrick Mostorsports selected Keith Rodden as crew chief of the No. 5 Chevrolet on Wednesday and Kenny Francis moved into the new position of vehicle technical director.

Kahne and Francis had been paired since the 2005 season finale. Only six-time champion Jimmie Johnson and his Hendrick crew chief Chad Knaus have had a longer working relationship.

Kahne had one win this season to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and finished 15th in the final standings.

Francis will oversee organization-wide car design and development with day-today management of Hendrick Motorsports’ chassis, body, research and development, on-track testing, vehicle engineering and simulation programs.

Rodden returns to Hendrick where he worked alongside Francis in 2012 and 2013 as the lead engineer for Kahne and the No. 5 team. For 2014, he was chosen crew chief for the No. 1 team at Chip Ganassi Racing where he won the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, earned two pole positions and helped driver Jamie McMurray set a career-best in laps led.

F-1 driver Bianchi out of coma NICE, France — Formula One driver Jules Bianchi is showing signs of recovery following a lifethreatening crash, and is breathing unaided after being taken out of an artificial coma and repatriated from Japan to a French hospital.

Bianchi, who crashed during last month’s Japanese Grand Prix, remains in a critical condition with severe head injuries, his parents said in a statement on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Bianchi lost control of his Marussia car and hit a mobile crane that was inside the trackside barriers.

M’s face Rule 5 deadline

Collins, NBA’s first openly gay player, retires

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Roundup

By Melissa Murphy Associated Press

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

The Seattle Mariners have five available slots should they want to protect any Rule 5 Draft-eligible players prior to the 9 p.m.

Thursday deadline for adding them to the 40-man roster.

Any draft-eligible player not added to the roster prior to the deadline will be available for selection Dec. 11 in the draft, which always serves as the final activity at the annual winter meetings.

The Mariners have several protection candidates, including outfielder/first baseman Jordy Lara, shortstop Ketel Marte, catcher John Hicks, outfielder Jabari Blash and right-handed pitcher Jordan Pries.

The draft is designed, primarily, to prevent clubs from burying players in their farm systems, after a specified period for development, when those players might otherwise be able to play for other clubs in the big leagues.

Unprotected players are typically eligible for the draft after four seasons if they were 19 or older when they signed their first contract. Those 18 and younger usually don’t require protection for five years.

Clubs pay $50,000 when they select a player, which goes to his former club, and the player immediately goes on the 40-man roster of his new club.

But there’s a catch — that player must spent the entire next season in the big leagues or be offered back to his former club for $25,000 before he can be optioned to the minor leagues.

The Mariners acquired lefty reliever Lucas Luetge from Milwaukee in the 2011 draft, and he spent the entire 2012 season with the big-league club.

After one year, though, players can be optioned to the minors without restriction — and Luetge spent the last two seasons shuttling between the Mariners and Triple-A Tacoma.

The Mariners did not make a selection last year but lost lefthander Brian Moran to Toronto, which then traded him to the Los Angeles Angels.

Moran missed all of last season because of an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery on April 15. The Angels returned Moran to the Mariners on Oct. 30 under another aspect of the rule.

Players must be on the active roster for 90 days to fulfill the one-year requirement, which prevents a club.... from selecting a player and immediately placing him on the disabled list in order to retain him.

Kingma From Page C1

UW assistant responsible for much of Kingma’s primary recruiting, had been hired as his replacement.

From the start, Neighbors made it clear that he wanted Kingma in the program as much as ever.

“She’s the definition of a student-athlete, of what you want on and off the court,” he said. “Do you trust her? Yes. Is she talented? Yes. Does she put in the time? Absolutely. And when you can check those three boxes, we know we want them.”

For all the similarities between Kingma and her older sister — “Some of the things they do, I can’t tell a drastic difference,” Neighbors said — they are

Gonzaga’s Angel Nunez (2) passes the ball to Kevin Pangos during Wednesday’s game against Saint Joseph’s.

Zags rout Saint Joe’s 94-42 Associated Press SPOKANE — Gary Bell Jr. scored 18 points as No. 13 Gonzaga routed outmatched Saint Joseph’s 94-42 on Wednesday night as part of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Josh Perkins added 13 points and Byron Wesley 12 for Gonzaga (3-0), which has yet to surrender more than 58 points in a game this season. Domantas Sabonis added 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Aaron Brown scored 14 points for cold-shooting Saint Joseph’s (1-2), whose previous five games against Gonzaga had all been close.

The Hawks shot just 26 percent in the game, including 2 of 18 on 3-pointers. Gonzaga sank 57 percent of its shots to coast to victory. The Zags hit 10 of 22 from beyond the arc and

outrebounded Saint Joseph’s 54-26.

This one was over early.

Gonzaga made its first eight shots, including a pair of 3-pointers by Bell, in jumping to an 18-5 lead. Saint Joseph’s made just two of its first nine shots.

The Hawks trailed 23-5 at the midpoint of the first half, making only 2 of 12 shots. Gonzaga’s smothering defense held the Hawks to three baskets in the first 12 minutes of the game as the Bulldogs built a 31-7 lead.

It went downhill for the Hawks from there.

Bell hit three more 3-pointers during a 17-0 run to close the first half as Gonzaga took a 48-10 lead at halftime.

Saint Joseph’s did not make a field goal for the final 8 minutes of the first half, and made just 3 of 28 shots in the first half,

Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Billy Beane realized the interest in designated hitter and first baseman Billy Butler would be high, and wasted little time bringing him to the Oakland Athletics.

The versatile Butler agreed to a $30 million, three-year contract with the A’s that takes him through the 2017 season.

Always looking for a middle-of-the-lineup hitter, Oakland announced the deal Wednesday to bring in Butler. He provides manager Bob Melvin another player who

different players. Kristi Kingma was a prolific scorer, while Kelli Kingma has a more balanced game.

“Kelli is probably more rounded,” Neighbors said.

“Kristi did something (scoring) at a great level and a very elite level, but Kelli does a whole bunch of things really, really well. …

She can do it all.”

For now Kelli Kingma is coming off the bench and it probably will be that way for much of this season, mostly because Washington has a terrific backcourt tandem of senior Jazmine Davis and sophomore Kelsey Plum. Davis, a three-time All-Pacific-12 Conference choice, will likely become the school’s career scoring leader sometime this season, while Plum set a singlegame school record with 45 points in Washington’s

can contribute at multiple positions.

The A’s weren’t willing to wait given that Beane expects the pool of available hitters to dwindle in a hurry.

“We felt there were a number of teams out there looking for bats that might have had him somewhere on their depth charts, and once one or two guys came off the board, there was going to be more intensity in terms of the pursuit,” said Beane, the A’s general manager.

“We were very aggressive right from the start and had pretty rapid negotiations.”

season-opening loss at Oklahoma last week.

“My first practice I stepped up to guard Kelsey and she blew straight past me and made a layup,” Kingma recalled. “Then I guarded Jazz and she pulled up and hit a 3 right in my face. And I was like, ‘Oh, my goodness. What am I doing out here?’

“In terms of the speed of the game and the talent that’s here, it’s obviously a huge transition between high school and college.

But it’s gotten easier and I feel now like I belong out here. Every single day I wake up loving it, and my teammates have always been so supportive of me.

It’s been really fun learning

Seattle U. 98, Omaha 74 SEATTLE — Isiah Umipig scored 24 points with six assists, Jarell Flora added 22 points and eight rebounds for Seattle.

Umipig made 7 of 15 field goals, including 6 of 9 from 3-point range, and Flora hit 8 of 14 from the floor for the Redhawks.

Taylor will get credit for the 11 games he has missed, and will sit out an additional 13, which is slightly more than onefourth of the league’s 82-game schedule.

Taylor, 25, is in his third NBA season. The suspension means Taylor will lose about $267,000 of his $915,000 salary this season.

Butler helped the Kansas City Royals reach the World Series last month after a 29-year playoff drought. In the postseason opener, they rallied late to eliminate Oakland in the AL wild-card game. Butler contributed two hits and two RBI. After losing to the San Francisco Giants in a sevengame World Series, the Royals declined their $12.5 million option on Butler for next season, making the 2012 All-Star a free agent for the first time in his eight-year career.

NEW YORK — Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in one of the four major North American professional leagues, announced his retirement Wednesday after 13 years in the NBA. “It’s time and I’m very much looking forward to the next steps,” Collins said during a press conference Wednesday before the Brooklyn Nets played the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 35-year-old Collins disclosed his plans earlier in a first-person story for Sports Illustrated. It’s the same forum he used in April, 2013, to publicly reveal his sexuality. He was signed by the Nets in February and played 22 games for the team.

Collins said he decided to retire over the summer and had been trying to determine how to make the announcement. He chose Wednesday because he was going to be in New York on business and attending the game to watch his former teammate and coach, Jason Kidd, coach the Bucks.

“After last season, especially over the summer, my body was talking to me like it does to all professional athletes after a certain while,” Collins said. “It’s a young man’s game and Father Time is undefeated. Got another one.”

Collins started his career with the New Jersey Nets in 2001 and rejoined the franchise in Brooklyn last February. He revealed at the end of the 2013 season that he is gay, but was a free agent and remained unsigned until the Nets needed another big man.

They turned to the 7-foot Collins, who helped them reach the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003. He signed a 10-day contract, playing his first game as an out gay man on Feb. 23 on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers to a warm ovation. He stayed the rest of the season.

Nets general manager Billy King congratulated Collins on a “distinguished NBA career” in a statement.

“He was an integral part of the back-to-back Eastern Conference Championship teams,” King said. “We wish him well as he embarks on a new chapter in his career.”

Collins graduated from Stanford and was taken in the first round of the 2001 NBA draft, picked 18th overall. He also played for Memphis, Minnesota, Atlanta, Boston and Washington.

He averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 20.4 minutes during .... his career.

His twin brother, Jarron, is an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors.

Become part of the…

from them.”

Although there are constant reminders of her sister — “I think every single day somebody says to me, ‘Hey, Kristi,’” Kelli Kingma said — there is also an opportunity to do something truly special herself.

“From Day 1, (Coach) Neighbors has said, ‘Kelli, we didn’t recruit you because of your sister.

We recruited you as Kelli Kingma, not Kristi Kingma.’

So I don’t feel any pressure about that.

“And at the end of the day, Kristi’s my biggest fan.

She’s going to be the first one to tell me how well I did and how proud she is of me.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NBA has suspended Charlotte Hornets forward Jeffery Taylor for 24 games without pay after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence assault and malicious destruction of hotel property last month.

by Bell.

Gonzaga substituted liberally in the second half, but the Zags’ depth made it difficult for Saint Joseph’s to make up much ground.

The Hawks’ James Demery finally scored on a lay-up with 17:15 left in the game, their first field goal in nearly 11 minutes.

Gonzaga is 138-8 in the McCarthey Athletic Center since it opened in the 2004-05 season.

Huskies try to clean up shotgun snap

COUGARS | Notebook

Cougars battle for starting roles in practice

By Christian Caple

By Jacob Thorpe

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — An inability to consistently snap the ball properly into the quarterback’s hands might lead to a shakeup on the Washington Huskies’ offensive line.

Or it might not.

Fifth-year senior Mike Criste, who started the Huskies’ last two games at right guard, said on Wednesday that he’s been practicing this week at center, with Colin Tanigawa sliding over to play guard.

“I think I’ll be at center, (Tanigawa) at guard and James (Atoe) at tackle,” Criste said. “That’s what we’ve been practicing.”

But Huskies offensive line coach Chris Strausser was more uncertain in his assessment of how UW’s starting front might look against Oregon State on Saturday (7:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).

“I’m not really sure about that,” Strausser said of the center position. “He’s (Criste) gotten reps in practice doing that, but we’re still working our way through that. Still, (Tanigawa) has a great chance to play center for us this week.”

Criste started every game at center in 2013, but was beaten out for the position by Tanigawa during camp. He spent most of this season as a backup, but stepped into the starting lineup at right guard after Atoe moved to right tackle in place of Coleman Shelton, who was starting in place of the injured Ben Riva.

Coaches have praised Tanigawa, a fifth-year senior, as one of the Huskies’ most consistent offensive linemen all season. But some of his shotgun snaps to quarterback Cyler Miles have been inaccurate the past few weeks, particularly during Saturday’s loss at Arizona.

The most egregious was a snap that Miles couldn’t catch. It got past him, he had to chase it down, and he eventually fumbled as he tried to evade oncoming defenders.

“That’s a game-killer,” Strausser said.

UW head coach Chris Petersen said after the game that they had tweaked Tanigawa’s snapping technique during the week, and he wondered if that had an impact on some of the misfires.

“We tampered probably a little too late in the week, trying to change some things,” Strausser said. “And, you know, you never know why these things happen. He’s gone the first eight games of the season having zero issues with snaps, and all of a sudden we go to Colorado and something triggers in the mind, and he’s not throwing it back there as accurate as he needs to.”

It helps that Tanigawa can play guard, too, so the Huskies can leave him in the starting lineup even if he’s not lining up at center.

“Colin, he’s done a heck of a job in there blocking and doing some really good things, but he can play guard,” Petersen said. “We’ve got other guys who can play center. We’ll maybe shuffle some things around there, because that’s hard to deal with as well when the snaps aren’t right on the money.”

It sounds as if they’re looking at Criste as a possible solution. He said switching from guard back to center this week has been “a little odd, going back to the balance of it all, and the footwork,” but that otherwise it’s all about muscle memory.

“I had problems when I started doing center back in freshman year for the scout team. I couldn’t snap for crap,” Criste said. “But you learn to get into a rhythm and just consistency, consistency.

I remember back in the days I was doing 25 to 30 snaps after practice, and now it’s just kind of muscle memory. Just get it back to his chest.”

That’s proven to be easier said than done.

Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner was injured during the Seahawks’ fifth game of the season, a loss to Dallas.

Wagner expects to return Seahawks’ MLB has missed 5 games with turf toe injury

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks have played five games without Bobby Wagner, one of the most important players on their defense.

But while that layoff was longer than the Seahawks or their middle linebacker would have liked, it could have been worse.

When Wagner suffered a turf toe injury against Dallas, doctors told him it was likely an eightweek injury. But Wagner returned to practice Wednesday and it appears he has a good chance to be back in action this weekend for a big NFC West showdown with first-place Arizona.

“I feel like I’m ready for the most part, all things considered,” Wagner said. “I’ve been running, I’ve been doing my best to stay in the best shape I can without actually being out there on the football field. I’m going to take this week one day at a time and play in the game.”

Even if Wagner gets back this week ahead of schedule he said, “It sucked,” watching from the sideline for five weeks. “I hate watching football when I can’t play, but I can play now, and I’m going to make some noise.”

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Wagner might

not be an every-down player if he gets back this week so as to ease his transition after more than a month off, but the linebacker wasn’t buying the idea of a limited role.

“If I’m suited up and you see a 54 jersey, I’m playing,” Wagner said. “You’re not going to see me on the sidelines.”

While an injury called “turf toe” may not sound that bad, it’s a very serious injury; one that at times can be season-ending — Max Unger missed 15 games after suffering a similar injury in 2010.

“What I did was tore the ligament that connects my big toe to the ball of my foot, and I broke my Sesamoid bone,” Wagner said.

Wagner didn’t have surgery, but doctors put a cast on his foot that curled his big toe down and at an angle that would allow the injury to heal.

“How fun is that?” Wagner said sarcastically.

And considering how serious Wagner’s injury was, it’s worth remembering that he finished the game after suffering the injury in the first half. Wagner got a shot to numb the injury and asked team doctors “if I go out there, can I do any more damage.” Since the ligament was completely torn, their response was no, “because there’s nothing left to do damage to.”

Wagner’s return doesn’t just mean the Seahawks will improve at middle linebacker, it also makes them better at weakside linebacker. K.J. Wright can go back to his natural position rather than fill in for Wagner in the middle, something he has done in three of the last five games (Brock Coyle has also played in Wagner’s place).

“He’s coming back,” Wright said. “Knowing Bobby, he’ll be back and be in the middle. I’m glad he’s back. He was definitely headed towards a Pro-Bowl year. … He goes back to the middle, I go back to the Will, everything is natural and fitting up the way it should.”

Wagner’s likely return also means the Seahawks’ defense could be as healthy as it has been since the start of the season, with defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, who is out for the season with a torn hamstring, possibly being the only absence.

“At this point we could start ten guys that started on defense early in the season,” Carroll said.

“That’s about as good as we could hope for. We miss Mebane, but it’s still not a bad number if Bobby gets out there and (Byron Maxwell) and those guys are all back out, then we’re pretty fortunate in that regard so there’s an upside to that as well.”

Jeanpierre could start at center against Cardinals

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks signed Lemuel Jeanpierre on Tuesday.

He could start Sunday.

It’s likely Patrick Lewis starts at center this week in place of an injured Max Unger. But Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he is open to the possibility of Jeanpierre winning the job.

Jeanpierre, who started three

games for the Seahawks last year, went on injured reserve with a neck injury in September, then was released with an injury settlement.

“We’ll see how Lem does and just let those two guys compete it out and see how it goes,” Carroll said. “I’m open to him playing this week. I have no problem with that, it just depends on how he feels about it.”

Other injuries Carroll said James Carpenter, who

has missed two games with an ankle injury, has a good chance at returning this week, as does linebacker Brock Coyle, who sat out last week with a gluteus injury. They were both limited in practice Wednesday, as were guard J.R. Sweezy (thigh) and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner.

Not practicing Wednesday were Unger (knee/ankle), cornerback Byron Maxwell (calf), running back Marshawn Lynch (back), linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (shoulder), defensive end Michael Bennett (rest) and defensive end Demarcus Dobbs (knee).

Bills race clock to clear snow-filled stadium in time for game Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are looking for anyone with a snow shovel and plenty of spare time.

With 4 feet of snow having fallen at Ralph Wilson Stadium over the past two days, the Bills are racing the clock and Mother Nature to have the facility cleared in time to host the New York Jets on Sunday.

With another 1 to 2 feet of snow

projected to fall by Thursday night, it’s unclear whether they’ll make it.

The Bills estimate 220,000 tons of snow that need to be cleared from the stadium and surrounding parking lots.

“It’s hard to tell. If we didn’t get any more snow from here on out, we would be fine,” Bills Vice President of Operations Andy Major said Wednesday.

“Knowing that we have another 1 to 2 feet potentially coming

overnight, that just poses another challenge.”

It usually takes three days to clear a 1-foot snowfall, Major said.

The snow removal has begun, and Major hopes to round up 500 people working three shifts around the clock to clear the facility.

The team has stayed in constant contact with the NFL, which will have the final say on whether to postpone Sunday’s game against the Jets or have it played elsewhere.

PULLMAN — At some point in recent weeks, some of Washington State’s football defensive regulars started comparing practice statistics.

Every team places importance on competition, so linebacker Cyrus Coen and his teammates created one among themselves, playing for bragging rights and keeping track of who was winning, and losing, each day.

“Me, Darryl Monroe, Jeremiah Allison, Kache Palacio, we all have that competition every day in practice, who can make the most tackles or a big play at practice and during the game, as well,” Coen said.

Those daily contests come on top of inter-positional battles generated by the WSU coaches’ willingness to demote starters in favor of the current hot hand in practice.

Only Palacio, cornerback Daquawn Brown and nose tackle Xavier Cooper have started each game. No starting position has been more competitive than free safety, which has flipped between Taylor Taliu and Sulaiman Hameed five times.

While injuries, which the team does not discuss, occasionally play a role, the churn the Cougars have seen on defense is mostly due to the fact that most positions remain a competition for the starting spot, even heading into the 11th game of the season.

Even Monroe, who entered the season having started every game since Mike Leach became the head coach, is trying to reclaim his starting spot from Peyton Pelluer, a hustling redshirt freshman.

“If a guy really wants to play he doesn’t want to get beat out,” Leach said. “If a guy doesn’t care to play and just wants to sit around with his hand out and pick up little trinkets and awards, then maybe it has a different thing.”

Coen, who has started the last nine games, says that seeing his teammates being replaced by more assertive backups keeps him motivated.

“Every day is a battle for your job. No one has a set job and it’s good, it makes us better, it makes our teammates better,” he said. “We’re always challenging each other and that’s how strong and powerful competition is.”

Mayle semifinalist WSU’s Vince Mayle is one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award that is given to college football’s top receiver.

Mayle ranks No. 4 nationally with a school-record 86 receptions and No. 5 with 1,152 receiving yards in 10 games. His receiving yards rank No. 4 in school history for a season and he set the WSU record for most receiving yards in a game with 263 against California earlier this season.

He is the first Cougar to come this close to winning the award since Jason Hill was a finalist in 2005. The award, presented by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club, has opened its online fan vote on the award website. The aggregate fan vote will count as one vote to determine finalists and the eventual winner.

Muschamp wants to coach next season Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Will Muschamp wants to coach next season.

The fired Florida coach said Wednesday he would “like to obviously be working next year.”

Florida parted ways with Muschamp on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the team’s sixth loss in its last eight home games.

Muschamp already has been rumored for potential openings at defensive coordinator with Auburn, Florida State, South Carolina and Texas A&M. Those teams rank 63rd, 57th, 98th and 100th, respectively, in total defense.

Schmid: MLS finals matchups ‘great for the league’

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — When Major League Soccer’s twoweek playoff break ends Sunday, Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid figures it will end with a bang.

Not only will the Western Conference final pair the league’s top two regular-season finishers — No. 1 Seattle against the No. 2 Los Angeles Galaxy — but

there’s plenty to like about the Eastern Conference pairing of the New England Revolution and the New York Red Bulls.

“It’s good because they’re all major markets — we’re calling Seattle a major market,” Schmid said. “... It’s great — great for the league, great for the fans of the league.”

The populations of New York and New England could help compensate

21! . c e D n o g n i Com

for the Eastern pairing’s relative weakness in seeding. In the semifinals, No. 2 New England took care of business against No. 3 Columbus, while No. 4 New York bumped topseeded D.C. United.

Still, Schmid believes the Revs and Red Bulls will put on a good show.

“It’s an interesting one because I think New England is a little bit more of a younger team at this stage,” Schmid said. “But certainly the addition of Jermaine Jones has solidified them at midfield, given them a different look, different perspective.

It’s given more freedom I think to Lee Nguyen to get forward. But New York is a team that on their good

days, they’re very good.

Sometimes that consistency hasn’t always been there, but they only need to bring the consistency over a two-game series. So I think it’s going to be an interesting series. I think it’s one where there’s going to be a lot of goals.”

Both conference finals open Sunday. The Red Bulls and Revs take the first kick at 10:30 a.m. from Harrison, New Jersey, before the Galaxy and Sounders get going at 2 p.m. from Carson, California.

Schmid sees plenty for the fans to savor in his team’s series, too — starting with each side’s high-profile, high-scoring tandems.

its home pitch Dec. 7.

“Dempsey-Landon, Keane-Oba — all those subplots are interesting,” Schmid said. “But at the end of the day it’s two pretty consistent franchises playing off against each other. ... When you look at points earned over (the last six seasons) we’re in the top two. When you look at goals scored over that time I think we’re in the top two. I think there’s a lot of comparisons that way, so I think it’s good that the two good franchises are playing against each other.”

Added time Seven former Chivas USA players were chosen Wednesday in the MLS dispersal draft, however the Sounders passed when their turn came with the 19th pick. “I think we talked to one team about trying to move up,” Schmid said. “But it was something if we could, yeah, if it made sense. But we weren’t going to go crazy trying to get there.” ... MLS will announce its 2014 award finalists Thursday. ... The Sounders are off Thursday. They will resume training Friday in Southern California.

32 goals and 23 assists for Seattle, while and Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan combined for 29 goals and 33 assists for L.A. “I’d say it’s a little bit different because Landon plays a little bit more on the left, where in some of the games me and Oba have been more of a partnership where we’re always connected,” Dempsey said. “They still find each other well in the game. Me and Oba, we do a little bit more of the give-and-go’s and link-up play, overlapping and stuff through the middle. But they have a great team, have some great players on it. They’re also a team that has a lot of quality, and we’re looking forward to the challenge of seeing who’ll be the best through these next two games.”

BOGOTA, Colombia — The U.S. has imposed sanctions on a popular Colombian soccer team for alleged ties to a drug cartel.

The Treasury Department on Wednesday placed Envigado soccer club and its owner, Juan Pablo Upequi, on its foreign narcotics kingpins list, freezing any U.S. assets they may have and barring Americans from doing business with them.

Upequi is accused of

using the club as a front to launder money on behalf of the Office of Envigado, a violent cocaine-trafficking organization that inherited the underworld connections of Pablo Escobar’s Medellin cartel.

It’s the second Colombian team to land on the blacklist.

The other team, America de Cali, was removed from the list in 2013.

The Envigado club says its finances are open for inspection and have been fully audited by Colombian authorities.

Local author’s new book goes behind the bathroom door

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer LAKE STEVENS — Public toilets can be scary.

Most of us do not like to go No. 2 in public, and some of us will avoid it, sometimes at great cost.

Lake Stevens author Kelly P. Gray understands.

His new book “Log On: The Big Book of Bowel Movements,” released this month by Amazon, addresses all sorts of issues surrounding BMs. “It might take a special personality to really appreciate the book,” Gray said. “But the subject is something everyone can relate to, whether we talk about it or not. And it’s funny.”

Gray, a happy Baby Boomer, said he’d been thinking about writing the book since his high school days in Southern California, where he and the other guys on his baseball team swapped stories about BM mishaps.

The book is divided in two sections. The first deals with such subjects as foods and what they produce, wiping methods, odor, the closet pooper, constipation and the ultimate bathroom setting.

The second half is a collection of funny pooping stories that should keep any toilet reader entertained.

One is about the time Gray swallowed a gold crown and spent the next few days looking for it.

“In one of my college journalism classes, the prof talked about writing column about what you know,” Gray said.

“For years, I kept a pad and pen handy in the bathroom.”

Gray is now at work on volume No. 2 of his book.

“I’ve had a good response from people about the book,” he said. “I don’t expect to retire on it, but we have sold dozens of copies and I know a lot of people who are buying them for stocking stuffers.”

For more about Gray’s book, go to www.thebigbookofbowel movements.com.

TOASTIE TUSH

The Toastie Tush has three different temperature settings and sells for $55.

Flush with ideas From heated seats to nightlights, there are plenty of ways for people to trick out their toilets

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Pamper yourself and pimp your toilet seat.

No need to stumble around the dark abyss of the bathroom only to park your buns on a ruthlessly cold seat.

There are seats that light up, warm up and scent the room.

For as little as $50, it can be a life changer.

If nothing else, it will make your stay more enjoyable.

Toastie Tush Most homes don’t have bathrooms wired to warm your buns.

For some strange reason, there usually isn’t a wall outlet in place for that purpose, so heating your seat might require a special receptacle for safe installation.

A Colorado man came up with a seat warmer that attaches to the underside of the lid with Velcro.

No electrician required. When the lid is down, the device warms the seat. A collateral benefit is that it rewards the male species

for lowering the lid.

Toastie Tush sells for about $55 and comes with an extended cord.

Necessity was the mother of this invention.

“We are originally from the south. We had a hard time with the cold,” said creator Rich Rendon, a

Coast Guard officer who relocated to Colorado Springs.

His wife said, “Fix this. Come up with something.”

So he did.

“We used a prototype that I put together for about seven years,” he said.

After he retired in 2007, he started mass producing the hot seat. It’s available online at Lowe’s, Amazon and www.toastie tush.com.

“We have owners in every state in the U.S. and 11 countries,” Rendon said. “People in Louisiana and Florida have bought it. It is kind of amazing. There are a lot of sales in Los Angeles, 70-degree Los Angeles. One guy has it installed in an outhouse in Alaska.”

Sales increase every year.

“It’s the white elephant kind of gift at Christmas parties, and people say, oh-my-god, this is serious, this is a great product. It starts being humorous and ends up something people can’t do without,” he said. “You’ll never want to ‘go’ without it.”

The task light illuminates the bowl. It’s called a task light for

a reason.

A guiding light, in the seat’s hinge, is visible with the lid down. It glows onto the toilet’s tank so users can see where to go when entering the bathroom.

There’s one on display at Keller Supply Kitchen and Bath Showcase in Everett.

“It’s something that has to catch on,” showroom manager Stephen Gomer said. “It is really cool. People smile when they see it. They are trying to figure out how effective it will be.”

The list price starts at $50, with various color options. The battery-powered light runs automatically on a seven-hour cycle.

With the push of a button, you program the first cycle and it will activate at the same time every night.

Egyptian Revival furniture can be had for cheap This unusual chair is in the Egyptian Revival style. The carved wooden chair-back of a jackal-headed man-bird and the geometric trim are borrowed from ancient Egyptian art. It sold for $777 at Neal Auction Co. in New Orleans.

NEAL AUCTION CO.

INSIDE: Great Plant Pick, 2

A

chair decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics, stylized birds and sphinx heads can probably be dated from its Egyptian Revival style. But furniture designs have been through several Egyptian revivals.

One started in about 1800, after Napoleon battled in Egypt. Another lasted from the 1830s to the 1850s following great archeological finds in Egypt. A third short revival, from 1895 to the early 1900s, combined Egyptian Revival with elaborate Victorian styles. Egyptian-style furniture seen most often today dates from the 1920s-30s, after the discovery of

King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Art Deco designs joined Egyptian-inspired animals and symbols to create a totally new look.

Although Egyptian Revival jewelry from that period has been going up in price, the furniture has lost favor and is selling at bargain prices. An early 1900s chair with bone inlay and a very Egyptian-looking carved wooden back shaped like an Anubi (the Egyptian jackal-headed god of the dead) sold at Neal Auction Co. in New Orleans for $777. Perhaps the symbolism of the Egyptian god was not wanted by many 2014 bidders.

Q: My grandmother, who was born in China, came to this country in 1953 and brought a stuffed bird-of-paradise with her. I have it stored in my cedar chest, and it is still in very good condition. Can I sell it in the United States or is this now illegal?

A: Most birds-of-paradise are found in New Guinea, although a few live on nearby islands and in eastern Australia.

GREAT PLANT PICK What: Erica × darleyensis, “White Perfection,” has the brightest white flowers of almost any heath. Blooming from December to April. Its small, bell-shaped flowers are set atop bright green leaves that have yellow tips in spring.

Why: Mass plantings of this heath create an excellent groundcover for sunny locations, providing outstanding winter interest. Its overall shape is spreading, but its branches are held upright.

It was found as a sport (spontaneous mutation) on “Silberschmelze” in the Netherlands.

Where: Heaths add interest to winter containers and produce nectar that attracts bees on mild winter days.

Size: Reaches a height of 1 foot, 6 inches with a spread of 2 feet, 6 inches.

Spotlight on heating systems

NOVEMBER Is All About

STAYING WARM MONTH!

Whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, fireplaces and stoves are second to none where coziness and comfort are concerned.

The cost of installing a heating system in a home and paying for the ongoing heating costs is a major chunk of a family’s budget.

The purchase, as well as the annual operating costs and maintenance of equipment, can entail a lot of expense. Here are a few heating systems that combine savings with cozy pleasure.

Fireplaces and stoves Fireplaces and stoves have no equal in coziness and comfort, whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, and whether they are built-in, prefabricated, freestanding, traditional or modern.

Before choosing a heating system, compare the characteristics of different fuels and available models.

Electric baseboards and linear induction With programmable electronic thermo-

Hardware

Radiant heating This type of system does not heat the air but rather the walls, floors, windows and furniture. All of these elements store the heat and then release it into the air, providing exceptional and longlasting comfort. This is an invisible heating system that can be installed in floors, walls or ceilings.

stats, electric baseboard and linear induction heating systems allow you to economize on heating costs without compromising on comfort. During the winter, each room can be heated independently.

Landscaping

Heat pumps, central heating systems, and other devices all have their advantages and disadvantages.

Before making your choice, consider your specific needs and your budget.

And don’t forget to take into account the environment — a heating system that is both efficient and green is possible. Some advice? Before you start spending, talk to the in-store experts.

LIVING SMART | Angie Hicks

Are your home and pets ready for holidays?

Before leaving home Hire a house sitter or ask a neighbor or friend to check on your home while you’re gone, bringing in mail, newspapers and taking out trash. Another way to make your house appear occupied is to leave

a vehicle in the driveway or ask someone else to park there occasionally.

Other tips: n Use an automatic timer to switch lights on and off or use a remotecontrol security system. n Hire a lawn care service or ask a neighbor to take care of your lawn or shovel your walkways.

Make sure your pets are in good hands while you’re gone. It’s important to start early when seeking high-quality pet care when you travel before a major holiday. Top-rated kennel operators say their facilities often reach full capacity two weeks before any major holiday. Also, note

that most will require that pets are up to date with vaccinations.

You may prefer that your pets remain at home when you’re gone, so here are tips for finding either a good pet sitter or boarding facility: n Ask your veterinarian, family and friends for recommendations. Check reviews on a trusted online site, as well as references. n Confirm appropriate licensing and insurance. n Ask how often your pet will be fed, walked or played with. Ask about training, including pet CPR, and what will happen if your pet gets sick or the sitter can’t get to your house for some reason.

n Have a sitter candidate visit your home in advance and observe how he or she interacts with your pet. n Visit any boarding facility you’re considering, and check out the specific area where your pet will stay.

Before guests arrive Take time, as much ahead of the arrival date as possible, to be sure everything’s tidy, from carpets to corner cobwebs. Keep in mind that cleaning pros also get full during the holiday season, so hire any help as early as possible.

Consider giving yourself the gift of a deep cleaning, which will last beyond

Night Glow Toilet Seats are made of photo luminescent plastic and come in two glow colors: green or blue.

No need to flip a switch, but you still have to flush.

Or not.

The Kohler Purefresh ($120), slated to come out soon, has a carbon deodorizing system that neutralizes odors right where they originate and has a built-in freshener that releases a light scent.

It also lights up.

However, it doesn’t heat up.

For more about the seats, go to www. us.kohler.com.

Night Glow Toilet Seat It’s no big deal if your man leaves this seat up.

You won’t fall in.

No way you won’t have a perfect landing with this

glow-in-the-dark seat.

The seat looks radioactive, as if it’s a spaceship with aliens hovering nearby.

It is made with photo luminescent plastic, which is injection molded.

The color will not rub off, leak out or be released.

The seat is whitish in daylight and comes in green or blue glowing options.

If you really want to trick it out, get a black light for the bathroom.

The glowing seat is $50 at www.homedepot.com or www.nightglowseats. com.

Soon, you will be able to buy them from the sky. The product will be in the SkyMall in-flight magazine, which led the seat-makers to tweet: “Today we made glow in the dark toilet seat history.”

It might warm your heart, but it won’t warm your thighs. You’ll need a Toastie Tush for that.

Charles V, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire, from the Sultan of Bacan. The birds’ plumes were popular with European royalty, and by 1904 hats sporting feathers or entire birds were fashionable in the United States. Stuffed birds under glass domes were even displayed in homes of the wealthy. There are 39 species of birds-of-paradise.

Some are endangered and it’s illegal to hunt or export them, but local people are allowed to catch the birds for their plumes, which evidently are used in tribal ceremonies. You should contact the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to see if it’s legal to sell your stuffed example.

Q: I have three Disney drinking glasses decorated with different scenes from “Cinderella” and a few lines of text from the story. The pictures are red line drawings with a few areas filled in with pale blue or yellow.

I think I got the glasses in the 1950s. Are they of any value?

A: Walt Disney’s animated musical feature film, “Cinderella,” was distributed by RKO Radio Pictures in 1950. It was a popular movie and many Cinderella items have been made. Your glasses are part of a series that included at least eight different scenes.

They sell today for $12 to $20 each.

Q: My aunt gave me a Will Rogers and Wiley Post lamp. The bronze base has a globe with relief busts of Rogers and Post above laurel leaves on the front and their names at the base. There is a two-seater plane landing on the top of the globe. The lamp has a vintage glass shade. Who were these men? How old is the lamp?

A: Will Rogers was a

your guests’ stay. Cleaning experts recommend a deep cleaning about every six months. Potential targets include areas behind furniture and appliances, baseboards and other trim, ceiling fans, windows and HVAC vents.

Make sure your pet, too, is clean, fresh and ready for guests. Here are some tips for finding a quality dog groomer: n Choose a grooming service that requires you and other patrons to provide proof of vaccinations. n Ask what type of training the groomer has and if the staff gets continuing education. Be sure to visit the grooming facility before

humorist who performed in vaudeville, on the radio and in films, and also wrote a syndicated daily newspaper column. Wiley Post was the first person to make a successful solo flight around the world.

He asked Rogers to ride along on a flight while he surveyed air routes from the United States to Russia. They were killed when their plane crashed on takeoff near Point Barrow, Alaska, in August 1935.

Your lamp was made to commemorate the pair shortly after their deaths.

Condition is important.

Prices range from $250 to $500.

Q: I have three Beneagles figural bottles — a Loch Ness monster, a gray badger and a clown-headed chicken. How much are they worth?

A: Beswick, an English pottery, made flasks for Beneagles Scotch Whisky. Twenty different animal shapes were made between 1965 and

1987. Your clown-headed chicken is called the “Haggis Bird.” The flasks vary in size and price. Most sell today for $10 to $30.

Q: We own an old violin with this label inside: “Heinrich Th. Heberlein Jr., Markneukirchen 1898, Imitation: Joseph Guarnerius.” The back and sides are beautiful tiger maple and the instrument is in fine condition.

The violin belonged to a woman who was once a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Can you tell us something about the violin’s history and value?

A: Heinrich Thomas Heberlein Jr. (1843-1910) ran a violin-making workshop in Markneukirchen,

you make an appointment. n Visit the salon and make sure it’s clean.

Observe where your pet will be before and after grooming. See what products are used and confirm that towels are washed and disinfected between use.

If you’re boarding your pet or having someone come to your home, ask if the kennel or sitter provides grooming services.

Your post-travel reunion will be even more enjoyable if your pet smells great and feels soft.

Angie Hicks is the founder of Angie’s List, www.angieslist.com, a resource for consumer reviews.

Saxony, Germany — an area known since the 1600s for producing high-quality musical instruments. Heberlein styled many of his instruments after those of earlier makers. Yours is a copy of a violin by Joseph Guarnerius (1698-1744), a respected Italian violin maker also known as Giuseppe Guarneri.

Women first joined the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1942, so the woman who played your violin used it in 1942 or later. Heberlein violins are well-respected instruments, but an expert musician would have to play yours to help determine its value. We have seen Heberlein violins sell for hundreds of dollars into the low thousands.

Tip: Do not dry clean vintage textiles.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Should I be honest about bad baby name?

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: When 15-year friends ask for my opinion on the baby name they’re “considering,” do they really want to hear my opinion, or do they just want validation for the name they’ve already chosen?

I probably COULD convincingly articulate what I think is wrong with the name (it clashes with their complicated surname, and their alternative spelling choice seems trashy), but I’m not sure I’m actually supposed to!

Worse, it’s not like I can ask, “Do you really want to hear the truth about what I think here?” since that’s as good as saying I hate it but don’t want to hurt their feelings.

— Honesty, or Tact?

Assume they want validation.

You can say, though, “It’s lovely, but, er, Firstname Lastname is a mouthful.” Presumably that’s not going to linger on their minds when they ignore you and use the name anyway.

I’m sorry to say, though, there’s no pole long enough for touching the alternate-spelling-is-trashy idea, a criticism that’s radioactive to all but the most thick-skinned friends.

Re: Alternate spelling: You can’t say the kreativ spelling is trashy, but you can certainly say “I’m a big fan of traditional

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT spellings. Old-fashioned, I guess.”

That way it’s on you.

— Anonymous Especially if you tack on, “I also believe parents should choose names they love.” Cover all sections of butt, just in case.

Dear Carolyn: My 13-person office is hosting a bridal shower for a co-worker. Yay! Actually, not so much, and I feel like curmudgeon. Until a year ago, our office had a lovely conference room where we’d host potluckstyle celebrations for milestones during the workday. We’ve since moved and downsized our space significantly and our conference room barely fits 13 chairs.

So, the bridal shower is being hosted at another co-worker’s house on the weekend. This would be great if I actually liked spending time with my officemates, but the personality dynamics stress me out. I really don’t want to go

You don’t have to attend, at least not all of them. Eventually you are going to be out of town (ahem) for one of them, or have other plans (ahem). People do have lives.

When you do go, treat it as this thing you must do as part of the larger necessity of earning a living. (Not to be confused with, do this or lose your job!, since presumably it is not about that.)

For example, people commute, or have to pay for dry-cleaning, or sit in a windowless space on beautiful days, or work shifts out-of-sync with the rest of the world — these are all things we suck up and take because we decide they’re better than not having a job.

You can also suggest an out-ofoffice lunch for the next one, no?

A restaurant nearby with a party room, an hour and done, and no cleanup even. You volunteer to coordinate! Because you’re generous that way. (Ahem.)

New girlfriend eager to dump ex-girlfriend’s stuff Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Ron,” and I have been together for more than a year, and we now live together. His garage is full to overflowing with his ex-girlfriend’s belongings.

She apparently left him and all her stuff — including her four cats — to marry some guy she met online. She no longer lives in this country.

I’m fine with taking care of the cats; they are innocent and I love them.

However, I want her stuff out of the garage. Ron thinks it’s “the right thing to do” to keep it until she can arrange for it to be moved to her new place.

Abby, it has been a year and a half! She’s not going to move this stuff. I want to donate it or trash it as appropriate, and I don’t think legally we have any responsibility to tell her or ask her before we do. What do you think?

— Wants It Gone In Oklahoma Dear Wants It Gone: It would be neither appropriate nor kind to do anything to Ron’s exgirlfriend’s belongings without warning. Ron should contact her, inform her that he wants to use his garage for the purpose it is intended, and ask if she wants the items she left to be disposed of or put into storage at her expense. He should allow a reasonable time for her to respond before doing anything, and you should distance yourself from the process.

Dear Abby: I have a friend with one annoying habit. Whenever we have a party, she’ll invite friends without asking first, or by saying, “I told them it was OK to come.” It creates a problem because we plan RIP HAYWIRE

our parties for a certain number of guests, and now there are two, three, sometimes even four more — often on short notice.

I like her friends, but they are not close friends of mine. Sometimes I just would like to have an intimate gathering with four to six people.

At my last gathering she invited not only her friends but also their children. It went from an intimate brunch for six to a party of 12. We even had to set up a second table.

How can I get her to stop, short of not inviting her to any more of our parties? I feel stuck in a situation that no matter what I do, I’m going to P.O. somebody. Any suggestions? — Party Planner In Georgia Dear Party Planner: Your “friend” has a lot of nerve and no manners.

She appears to be using you to entertain her other friends, which is not only rude, but also extremely presumptuous. She will continue treating you this way until you call a halt by telling her to cut it out because you don’t like it.

If she can’t respect your wishes after that, see her only on a one-on-one basis.

club.

“Partner said my two spades was wrong: I needed two of the top three honors. If I’d had A-Q-10-9-2, the slam would’ve made. Is she right?”

The suit-quality requirement for a positive response is a matter of partnership style.

Personally, I could accept a two-spade bid on Q-J-10-3-2.

South should make the slam. After she draws trumps, she leads a low spade to dummy’s jack. If East wins, South later overtakes the king to run the spades. If East plays low, South can finesse in clubs and later go to the ace of spades

DAILY QUESTION: You hold: ♠ Q 6 4 ♥ 10 5 3 2 ♦ K 5 2 ♣ Q 8 6. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner next bids 2NT. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your preference showed at most nine points, and partner would have passed if he knew game was impossible. His 2NT shows interest, but your hand is too minimum to accept. Moreover, if his hand is short in hearts, notrump may not fare well. Bid three clubs.

Benedict Cumberbatch fans might be weeping on the inside over the “Sherlock” star’s engagement — but he’s seeing nothing but their love, he says.

“It’s a crazy old love bomb to drop and the amount of love that comes back to you, that was the thing that (fiancee Sophie Hunter and I) are both just sort of bowled over by. It’s wonderful.”

Cumberbatch and Hunter announced their engagement by posting an eight-line notice on the births, deaths and marriages page of The Times newspaper in London on

Nov. 5 The 38-year old actor says he and Hunter, a 36-year-old theater writer-director, liked the old-school approach and says even if he wasn’t famous he would have been “equally happy to announce my marriage to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met” in the same way. “It was controlling it and letting the world know but in a quiet and sort of sober and traditional manner.”

The pair met while appearing together in the 2009 thriller “Burlesque Fairytales.”

Cumberbatch drops ‘love bomb’ on fans

THE CLICKER Thursday’s highlights on TV include: “How to Get Away With Murder”: Fall’s most tantalizing new drama finally gets to the heart of its central mystery by showing us who killed psychology professor Sam Keating (Tom Verica). This week’s intense winter finale — ominously titled “Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me” — dwells almost exclusively on the night of the bonfire, when Annalise’s (Viola Davis) cheating husband met his bloody demise. Unfortunately, it’s the last new

“If I Stay,” ★★★: A teen (Chloe Grace Moretz) must decide between life and death. Director R.J. Cutler’s film of Gayle Forman’s best-selling novel is a complex examination of how love takes many forms and each version can bring its own heart-lifting highs and heart-breaking lows.

How we deal with it is what shapes us as human beings and serves as the blueprint of the film.

“And So It Goes,” ★★: Veteran real estate agent faces being a grandfather.

Silver Lake Winery technicians Randy Green and Bill Ammons readied bottle machinery at the new Mill Creek vintner. It was celebrating its grand opening and hoped become the finest winery in the state. In just two months of commercial distribution Silver Lake Winery had won every wine contest it entered.

The combination of Academy Award winners Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton with Oscarnominated director Rob Reiner should add up to something more magical than this bland offering.

“Into the Storm,” ★½: Group fights to survive when a super tornado hits.

This is the latest attempt to pull off the “found footage” style, but it stumbles so often it takes a lot of wind out of the sails of this film about massive tornadoes.

“The Wind Rises,”

★★★½: Animated film about a young man who finds magic in flight. It would be a great loss if this does end up being Hayao Miyazaki’s last movie.

There hasn’t been an animator since Walt Disney who understands as deeply how to make their work become more than just a projection of light and sound. Animation is an art form that’s lifted to amazing heights when in the hands of a master craftsman like Miyazaki.
