Council wrangles, irons out budget The Snohomish County Council narrowly passes the 2015 spending plan, though some members view it as unsustainable and unfair to the vulnerable. Executive John Lovick has 10 business days to accept or veto it.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — A series of compromises and contentious 3-2

votes ended Monday with the Snohomish County Council passing a budget, if barely.

Council members, near the end of a four-hour hearing, went

back to their offices to figure out how to cope with a budget shortfall of more than $1 million, essentially on the fly.

“At the end of the day, it’s a balanced budget,” said Council chairman Dave Somers, who also had misgivings.

The $224 million operating budget passed 3-2. Joining Somers in supporting it were Councilmen Terry Ryan and Ken

Klein. Brian Sullivan and Stephanie Wright opposed it.

The plan includes the rollback of some management raises and sets aside recent property-tax hikes to pay for a new courthouse. It bulks up cash reserves for emergencies and day-to-day needs.

The budget, as it stands, would ax a much-touted new management position from the Medical

MARYSVILLE — The tribute, all 1,250 feet of it, came down in less than two hours.

With quiet efficiency, students and staff, city and tribal workers, parents and volunteers on Monday cleared the chain-link fence on the south entrance to Marysville Pilchuck High School.

A month earlier, on Oct. 24, a high school freshman shot five classmates and then himself in

the school cafeteria. The fence served as a 7-foot-tall sympathy card for the grieving community.

Freshman Cameron Moody, 14, returned to the fence Monday wearing an “MP Strong” hooded sweatshirt. The dead and injured were his friends.

The fence, where early on he tied balloons and left teddy bears, helped him cope. On Monday, he removed posters and carried them away for recycling.

“It’s just sad,” he said.

Somber students, parents and friends join forces Monday to remove the massive memorial attached to hundreds of feet of chain-link fence along 108th Street in front of Marysville Pilchuck High School, one month after the shootings in which five students, including the shooter, died.

EVERETT — A man is demanding the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office provide him with every record in its possession, going back 238 years.

But he doesn’t want to give his name — indeed, he’s threatening to haul into court anyone who even attempts to make it public.

Snohomish County officials say the request makes little sense except as an attempt to harass government officials, but insist they have no option except to begin pulling together materials the man is seeking — regardless of how complicated or disruptive.

In the meantime, sheriff’s office employees have been told to hang on to every email, every recording, every Post-It note.

“We are preparing responses. It is a huge undertaking,” said Jason Cummings, the county’s chief civil deputy prosecutor.

Even one of the state’s biggest advocates for lawful access to public records believes this particular request is ill advised.

Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, said the man contacted him, apparently seeking his support.

“My personal advice to him was that he should withdraw that request, that it was damaging to

Request: County ponders response options From Page A1

the cause of open government,” Nixon said.

The man, who uses the online identities “Anon ymous,” “Alex Jones Teleprompter Technician,” and “Publius Publicus,” filed the records request via email last week.

Over the weekend, he sent the county a followup email making clear he is considering a lawsuit.

He’d earlier visited the sheriff’s office, reportedly carrying a video camera and wearing a reflective vest featuring the word, “Media.”

He demanded to see sheriff’s office policies, and apparently was dissatisfied when directed to the website where the information can be found.

The man’s records request soon followed.

“I hereby request copies, in whatever form available, of each and every document in your agency’s possession of any and every kind whatsoever without exception or limitation except as provided by narrow exception of law,” he wrote. “The date range that this request relates to, encompasses

or covers begins at July 4th, 1776, and runs until today’s date, November 18th, 2014.”

The Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

That was 85 years before Snohomish County came into being, and 113 years before Washington was recognized as a state.

The man did not respond to an email from The Herald regarding his records request.

Meeting the man’s demands won’t be simple, said Sara Di Vittorio, the deputy prosecutor who supervises the county’s response to public records requests.

Because the man is seeking every sheriff’s office record, the county has had to explore options for retaining materials that it otherwise routinely discards. That includes recordings of inmate telephone calls, which are monitored at the county jail, and recorded over after a brief retention period. Other materials that were no longer needed, and destined for shredders, also had to be gathered up.

“It realistically resulted in people ‘Dumpster diving,” Di Vittorio said.

While the request appears to be designed to vex, it also appears to be valid under the law, prosecutors say.

Refusal to start gathering records or otherwise failing to respond could expose the county to penalties of up to $100 a day, should the man prevail in a public records lawsuit, Di Vittorio said.

“We as a government agency don’t have a choice. We have to evaluate the liability consequences” of ignoring or otherwise resisting compliance with a legal records request, she said.

Mishandling public records requests has proven costly for the county this year. It recently agreed to pay $575,000 to resolve a public records lawsuit from Citizens for Sustainable Development, a group that was seeking information about agricultural policies in the Snohomish River floodplain. It also agreed to pay $95,000 to resolve a lawsuit over the jail staff’s failure to disclose security-camera footage relating to a young inmate’s death.

Di Vittorio in September told a legislative committee that some are using the records act as a “weapon of retaliation and a weapon of harassment.”

She drew attention to the

workload created by Anne Block, a prolific records requester from Gold Bar, but similar headaches have been caused by people on the county payroll.

The most infamous example is that of “Edmond Thomas,” who in reality was Kevin Hulten, a junior aide to Aaron Reardon who used a pseudonym to file numerous records requests targeting people he considered his boss’ political rivals.

State law generally does not allow governments to pick and choose how to respond to individual records requesters. In 2011, legislators tweaked the law to generally bar inmates from collecting fines in records cases and also created a process to enjoin people serving a criminal sentence from using records laws to harass or intimidate others.

The city of Everett earlier this year used that provision of the law to obtain a court order blocking records requests from an inmate they were able to show was conspiring with others in an attempt to shake down the city.

Nixon, of the open government coalition, said the records law also contains provisions that should be helpful to the county now in responding to the request made to the sheriff’s office.

“From my perspective

the county doesn’t need to drop everything,” Nixon said. “They just need to give him a reasonable estimate of when they can produce the records.”

The state’s records law is clear that an agency can provide records in installments. In a request of this nature, supplying all the materials the man wants reasonably could take years, Nixon said.

The man is not the same person who has been making headlines in Seattle for filing records request to obtain police body-camera video.

Meanwhile, the sheriff’s office is taking steps to comply with the records demand from their unidentified records requester.

On Thursday, sheriff’s Capt. Tom Davis sent an email to all sheriff’s office employees alerting them of the request and its implications.

“Essentially, you must retain everything and not delete anything,” he wrote.

“We are currently working with the Prosecutor’s Office to best address the request itself and simultaneously working with (information systems) to address collection and storage options. We will let you know if and when there are changes to this directive.”

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday bestowed America’s highest civilian honor on trailblazers in the arts, sports and politics, along with a couple of entertainers who are among his personal favorites.

The 18 notables who gathered in the White House East Room to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom left even the president himself in awe. Obama said the ceremony is one of his favorite events because it celebrates “people who have made America stronger and wiser and more humane and more beautiful.”

He revealed the first record he ever bought was by honoree Stevie Wonder and confessed a crush on Meryl Streep.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is reserved for individuals who have made “meritorious contributions” to U.S. security, world peace or cultural endeavors. Obama said he took great pleasure in being able to present the award to Ethel Kennedy, since it was her brother-inlaw the former president who expanded and elevated the honor more than a half century ago.

Obama noted that over the summer, Ethel Kennedy challenged him to douse himself in water to support ALS research. “I don’t like pouring ice water on top of my head. That is probably the only time I’ve ever said no to Ethel, by the way,” Obama said to laughter.

Others receiving the award included NBC journalist Tom Brokaw, author Isabel Allende, Native American activist Suzan Harjo, actress Marlo Thomas, economist Robert Solow, former Rep. Abner Mikva of Illinois, physicist Mildred Dresselhaus and golfer Charlie Sifford. Composer Stephen Sondheim was scheduled to receive the award, but Obama said he couldn’t make it and will be included in next year’s class of honorees.

The loudest applause came when Obama gave posthumous medals to family members of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were slain in 1964 as they participated in a historic voter registration drive in Mississippi. Other posthumous awards were for choreographer Alvin Ailey and Reps. Patsy Mink of Hawaii and Edward Roybal of California, founder of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Heavy rains bring flood watch on local rivers Herald staff Heavy rains in the Cascade Range are expected to raise river levels around Snohomish County this week, possibly leading to flooding.

The National Weather Service in Seattle issued a flood watch for the county Monday afternoon. It remains in effect

through Wednesday night.

Up to 6 inches of rain are predicted in the mountains, and at least half an inch in the lowlands, between Monday night and Thursday morning.

Coupled with high snow levels, the rainfall could cause some of the county’s rivers to overflow their banks.

The most likely culprits

include the Stillaguamish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish and Skagit rivers, according to the weather service.

Other rivers also are expected to run high this week, and the list of flood threats could change.

A flood watch means flooding is possible but not imminent.

However, the weather service

urges people to be prepared to act swiftly in case the watch is upgraded to a flood warning.

If a warning is issued for any of the rivers, people in the area should move to higher ground as quickly as possible.

As people travel for Thanksgiving, drivers should avoid crossing through water on roadways. Most vehicles can be

swept away in less than two feet of water.

Flood watches are also in place for Skagit, Whatcom, King, Lewis and Pierce counties.

Updated flooding and weather information is available online at www.wrh.noaa.gov/ sew. The weather service also tweets new watches and warnings @NWSSeattle.

Tech program makes fitness fun and games for county 5th graders

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

EVERETT — Twenty-six View Ridge Elementary School students sat on the gym floor, their laptop screens creating a moonlight-like illumination of their faces.

Only one thing stood in the way of them signing up for a program that entitles them to a wristwatchsized electronic device that monitors their activity.

They had to log in to the Gear Up & Go! program. Fitness teacher Jan Anderson patiently guided them through the process, which involved creating a user name and password, then adding their parent’s email address. The students raised their hands above their

heads as, one-by-one, they were able to sign on.

“It’s done, sweet!” said Jack Zaffarano, 10. “I did it!”

The View Ridge students are among 10,000 fifth-graders in Snohomish County getting a chance to see if they can increase their activity levels this school year. The goals of Gear Up & Go! are reducing childhood obesity and encouraging physical activity.

Opinionated boulder reburied at Everett work site

EVERETT — The Everett Boulder’s brief exposure to the daylit world has come to an end.

Work crews building the Courtyard by Marriott have temporarily reburied the giant glacial erratic, which is thought to be almost 2 million years old and deposited by retreating glaciers about 18,000 years ago.

The boulder, which has its own Twitter account, posted Friday: “Well that explains why my Wi-Fi signal went to crap.”

The boulder is estimated to weigh about 300,000 pounds and is about 35 feet below ground, which posed a challenge for the work crew, which has been driving piles for the hotel parking garage.

oliday travel season is upon us. And Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year, especially on roads.

Today’s special column has something for those traveling to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving turkey, to the mall for Christmas shopping — or, heaven help them, both (Thanksmas?).

Over the river AAA Travel projects 46.3 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving weekend, the highest volume for the holiday since 2007. Nearly 90 percent of those will be on the road, fueled by the lowest Thanksgiving gas prices in five years.

Those lower gas prices are pretty much the only positive if you’re hitting the road this week (oh right, and the turkey and football and quality family time, and stuff like that).

Check travel times and a host of other tips on the state Department of Transportation website, wsdot.com. The resources include the best (and worst) times to travel on major roadways from Wednesday to Sunday.

The best times to travel if you’re leaving Wednesday: I-5 from Bellingham to the Canadian border: 4-10 a.m. and 9-11 p.m.

U.S. 2 from Stevens Pass to Leavenworth: No backups or delays expected I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass, North Bend to Cle Elum: 4-8 a.m. and 8-11 p.m.

I-5 from Tacoma to Olympia: 4-5 a.m. and 10-11 p.m.

Oh, my. So, if you’re going to Portland, um, yeah, just leave now.

Otherwise, good luck with that.

students to participate.

The more active kids are, the more points they earn.

Students can monitor their points through a computer program at school or, with new Bluetooth technology available this year, on tablet or smartphone apps.

“It’s a motivator to be more active to get higher points,” Anderson said.

She and her fifth-grade students participated in the program last year, too.

At night, students can get on their home computers and compare their

progress from previous days or to other students in class, she said.

Karen Setterberg, 11, said she’s excited about participating in the program, even though she said she would rate her previous activity levels as “kinda low, not so active.”

“I like jumping around and running,” she said as she raced off to recess.

Gadi Zesati, 11, participated in the program last year as part of a mixed class of fourth- and fifth-graders.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

“We get to keep track of how active you can be. You

can be in competition with people. It keeps me healthy.”

Elle Vorderbruggen, 11, also participated last year.

“It was fun,” she said, “It’s like you get to challenge people.”

The PowerPods are provided free to schools.

The program was launched last year by the Snohomish County Health Leadership Coalition, a group that includes representatives from local businesses, social service agencies, nonprofits, education, health care and the faith community.

We are in the Giving Spirit!

The cost of this year’s program, including hardware, technology and communications, is estimated at $300,000. The program is sponsored by the Boeing Co., Premera Blue Cross, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, Providence General Foundation, Verdant Health, Puget Sound Kidney Centers, the Washington Biotech & BioMedical Association, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, The Everett Clinic, Precor and the YMCA of Snohomish County.

EVERETT — The Everett Community Streets Initiative task force presented its final report to the City Council and outlined the processes, deliberations and final recommendations to tackle the city’s chronic problems with homelessness, mental illness, addiction and public nuisance.

It includes 17 priority tasks that will be the focus of a new implementation team in 2015, including establishing alcohol-impact areas, adjusting jail release times and strengthening the city’s laws against aggressive panhandling.

That latter item is notable because two task force members, Alan Dorway, of First Presbyterian Church, and Megan Dunn, of the Human Needs Advisory Committee, included a dissenting opinion in the report, arguing that it may lead to subjective enforcement and de facto criminalization of homelessness.

The task force, which presented its report Wednesday, will reconvene in March for an update from an implementation team led by deputy city attorney David Hall.

The task force also will present its findings to the Snohomish County Council on Dec. 8 as part of a general acknowledgement that Everett will not be able to solve these problems on its own.

Mayor Ray Stephanson indicated he would be inviting mayors and leaders from other local communities to meet in the coming months.

The final report of the task force is posted online at everettwa.org/G et_PDF. aspx?pdfID=8531.

Air travel for Thanksgiving is expected to be at the highest level since 2007, according to AAA Travel.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport expects its busiest days for the November holiday season to fall on Nov. 26, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. The lowest traffic numbers will be Thanksgiving day, Nov. 27.

Thanksgiving isn’t the busiest time of year for Sea-Tac. (Nope, not Christmas either. That honor goes to summer, in general.) But it may feel like it as you shiver shoeless in line, staring at the Starbucks that is so close yet so far away beyond blinking security gates.

The airport experts note that the number of inexperienced travelers — those who only fly once or twice a year — will be significant. And inexperience equates to long lines at those security

Investigation continues in gunshot that struck 3-year-old Herald staff LAKE STEVENS — Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives provided no new information Monday about their investigation into the

shooting of a 3-year-old boy in Lake Stevens. The next update was expected Tuesday morning, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The boy on Monday remained in serious

condition in the intensive care unit, Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.

He suffered extensive injuries to his mouth and face.

Detectives are investigating

whether a 4-year-old neighbor accidentally shot the younger boy on Friday as the two played in a bedroom of a home on the 600 Block of East Lake Shore Drive.

The injured boy’s father

reported that he heard a loud noise from the room and forced open the locked door. The boy was taken to Providence Medical Center Everett, where doctors determined that the child

had a gunshot wound to the mouth. He later was airlifted to Harborview.

A fund is set up to assist with medical costs at www.gofundme.com/ babymichael.

Police seek thieves who stole 7 vehicles Herald staff EDMONDS — Police on Monday were hunting for some car thieves who drove off with seven vehicles from an auto dealership on Highway 99.

The thieves broke into the dealership office in the 22400 block of the highway. Once inside they took keys to multiple vehicles, Edmonds police Sgt. Josh McClure said.

The thieves had boosted seven vehicles by the time the break-in was reported to police at about 3:30 a.m.

Monday.

Seattle police found three of the vehicles Monday morning and another one was located in Edmonds.

The two departments are working together to identify the suspects.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Edmonds Police Department’s tip line at 425-771-0212.

The city recommends taking several measures to minimize coyote activity. It suggests eliminating food sources from around a property. Garbage cans should not be left outside longer than necessary.

The city also recommends keeping yards trimmed and well-maintained. It suggests using motion-activated sprinklers and lights to scare coyotes away.

Herald Writer

Shirlee J. Hyde Shirlee Hyde passed away November 20, 2014 at the a g e o f 8 2 a t P rov i d e n c e Hospital in Everett with her loving family by her side.

Born on November 19, 19 3 2 i n B u r l ey, I d a h o to John and Rada Bostic, S h i r l e e g r ew u p w i t h h e r older brother, Dick. In her teens, they moved to Pullman Washington where she finished high school and later attended WSU earning her bachelors degree.

Shirlee met and married her husband there and soon moved to Everett Washington where they began their family of four boys. Shirlee went through a divorce years later resulting in having to take on employment to provide for her children. She was a great mother and made up for the lack of a father in the home. She sacrificed many things for their welfare including not re-marr ying while they were young. Once the boys were raised she met and married her love Gerald Hyde from Everett in 1988 and have been happily married since (26 years).

Shirlee retired from General Telephone Electric in Office Administration.

Shirlee and Jerr y were popular family f igures as they took in several grand children over the years. They enjoyed playing and fishing t o g e t h e r. T h e y e n j o y e d spending time with children and grandchildren. Shirlee had an infectious smile that w o u l d b r i g h te n a ny o n e ’ s day. She was also known for her unique giggle. Some made comments stating they wished they could bottle her giggle up and take it with them. Not only was she a ray of sunshine, she also weathered many storms in life but kept a positive attitude which was an i ncredi ble example to all w h o k n e w h e r. S h e w a s tough.... A real fighter!

Shirlee is survived by her husband, Gerald Hyde, and her three sons: Greg, Brian, Todd; and several grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her son, Kur t and her brother, Dick.

The Funeral service will be held on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 at 11 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at 9509 19th Ave. S.E., Everett, WA. The V i ew i n g w i l l b e a t 10 : 0 0 a.m. All are welcome.

By Diana Hefley SNOHOMISH — An off-duty Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant helped snare a couple of homeless heroin addicts believed to be responsible for a string of armed robberies.

The sergeant spotted the suspects’ vehicle Sunday night in a parking lot near 132nd Street SE and 35th Avenue NE in the Mill Creek area. He recognized the car from a police bulletin, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The sergeant called for backup and deputies arrested the three people inside the car.

One man is suspected of holding up an Everett Safeway gas station on Nov. 13. A video camera captured the heist. He and another man also are believed to be responsible for robbing a Snohomisharea espresso stand on Saturday. The barista told police that the men pointed handguns at her and demanded money. That incident also was caught on camera.

The third person arrested Sunday told police that the men planned to use BB guns to rob businesses so they could buy heroin, according to a police affidavit filed Monday in Everett District Court.

The suspects used duct tape to cover the car’s license plate in an effort to avoid identification.

The third suspect told cops she didn’t participate in planning or carrying out the robberies but was inside the vehicle and benefited from the crimes, according to court records.

She described five separate robberies in Snohomish County during the last month.

The men, 21 and 22, were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree robbery.

They declined to speak with detectives.

The car was impounded and police were expected to search it for evidence.

No indictment in Ferguson

Grand jury won’t charge officer in shooting of Michael Brown

By Jim Salter and David A. Lieb Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. — A grand jury declined Monday to indict white police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed, black 18-year-old whose fatal shooting sparked weeks of sometimes-violent protests and inflamed deep racial tensions between many African-Americans and police.

Within minutes of the announcement by St. Louis County’s top prosecutor, crowds began pouring into Ferguson streets to protest the decision. Some taunted police, shattered windows and vandalized cars. Several gunshots were also heard.

Officers released smoke and pepper spray to disperse the gatherings.

Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said the jury of nine whites and three blacks met on 25 separate days, hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical examiners and experts on blood, toxicology and firearms.

He stressed that jurors were “the only people who heard every witness ... and every piece of evidence.” He said many witnesses presented conflicting statements that were inconsistent with the physical evidence.

“These grand jurors poured their hearts and soul into this process,” he said.

As McCulloch was reading his statement, Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, was sitting atop a vehicle listening to a broadcast of the announcement.

When she heard the decision, she burst into tears and began screaming before being whisked away by supporters.

The crowd with her erupted in anger, converging on the barricade where police in riot gear were standing.

They pushed down the barricade and began pelting police with objects, including a bullhorn. Officers stood their ground.

Lawyers for Wilson issued a statement Monday night, saying, in part, that Wilson “followed his training and followed the law” when he shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Wilson’s attorney, Neil Bruntrager, characterized the past few days as “tense” for Wilson.

FDA issues rules on calories, menus WASHINGTON — Counting calories will become easier under new government rules requiring chain restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores and other places to post the calorie content of food “clearly and conspicuously” on their menus. The long-delayed rules announced by the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday apply to businesses with 20 or more locations and give them until November 2015 to comply.

Beverages are included, and alcohol will be labeled if drinks are listed on the menu.

The rules deal a blow to the grocery and convenience store industries, which have lobbied hard to be exempted since the menu labels became law in 2010 as a part of health overhaul.

Ill.: Cartel figure gets prison

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown (left, standing on the top of a car), reacts as she listens to the announcement of the grand jury decision Monday in Ferguson, Missouri.

Police in riot gear move down the street past a burning police car Monday night in Ferguson.

“For him, none of this ends,” Bruntrager said. “People have made threats against his life, he will continue to be concerned about his family’s security and his own. (Not being indicted) is a brief respite, but certainly not the end of things for him.”

At least nine votes would have been required to indict Wilson. The grand jury met in secret, a standard practice for such proceedings.

Speaking for nearly 45 minutes, a defensive McCulloch repeatedly cited what he said were inconsistencies and erroneous accounts from witnesses. When asked by a reporter whether any of the accounts amount to perjury, he said, “I think they truly believe that’s what they saw, but they didn’t.”

The prosecutor also was

critical of the media, saying “the most significant challenge” for his office was a “24-hour news cycle and an insatiable appetite for something — for anything — to talk about.”

Brown’s family released a statement saying they were “profoundly disappointed” in the decision but asked that the public “channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.”

Thousands of people rallied in other U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, New York and Seattle to protest the decision, leading marches, waving signs and shouting chants of “Hands Up! Don’t Shoot,” the slogan that has become a rallying cry in protests over police killings.

President Barack Obama appealed for calm and understanding, pleading with both residents and police to show restraint.

“We are a nation built on the rule of law, so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury’s to make,” Obama said. He said it was understandable that some Americans would be “deeply disappointed — even angered,” but echoed Brown’s parents in calling for any protests to be peaceful.

The Justice Department is conducting a separate investigation into possible civil rights violations that could result in federal charges, but investigators would need to satisfy a rigorous standard of proof in order to mount a prosecution.

The department also has launched an investigation into the Ferguson Police Department, looking for patterns of discrimination.

The Aug. 9 shooting inflamed tensions in the predominantly black St. Louis suburb that is patrolled by an overwhelmingly white police force.

Outside the Ferguson Police Department on Monday night, St. Louis County police used a bullhorn to order a crowd to disperse, saying it had become an unlawful assembly.

Protesters defied the orders and some chanted, “Murderer.”

Minutes later, four gunshots were heard down the street.

Pentagon chief Hagel stepping down

By Julie Pace and Robert Burns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Under pressure from President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel submitted his resignation Monday amid White House concerns about his effectiveness and broader criticism from outside about the administration’s Middle East crisis management.

The president said he and Hagel had determined it was an “appropriate time for him to complete his service.”

Hagel, a former Republican senator, never broke through the White House’s notably insular national security team.

Officials privately griped about his ability to publicly communicate administration policy and more recently questioned whether he had the capacity to oversee new military campaigns against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.

Hagel is the first high-level member of Obama’s national security team to step down in the wake of both a disastrous midterm election for the president’s party and persistent criticism about the

President Barack Obama reaches over to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel following the announcement of Hagel’s resignation Monday.

administration’s policies in the Middle East and elsewhere.

It’s unclear whether Hagel’s forced resignation signals the start of a broader shake-up of the president’s team; White House officials said it was possible there could be more departures.

Among the leading contenders to replace Hagel is Michele Flournoy, who served as the Pentagon’s policy chief for the first three years of Obama’s presidency. Flournoy would be the first woman to head the Pentagon.

Others mentioned include Ashton Carter, the former

deputy defense secretary, and Robert Work, who currently holds that post.

With Hagel’s departure, Obama will be the first president since Harry Truman to have four defense secretaries.

Hagel’s two predecessors, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, complained after leaving the administration about White House micromanagement and political interference in policy decisions.

Rep. Buck McKeon, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, suggested Obama consider his own role in his administration’s foreign policy

struggles rather than seeking another changeover at the Pentagon.

“When the president goes through three secretaries, he should ask, ‘Is it them or is it me?”’ said McKeon, R-Calif.

Hagel has had his own frustrations with the White House.

In recent weeks, he sent a letter to National Security Adviser Susan Rice in which he said Obama needed to articulate a clearer view of the administration’s approach to dealing with Syrian President Bashar Assad. The letter is said to have angered White House officials.

The timing of Hagel’s departure sets up a potential confirmation fight in the Senate. Republicans, who will take control of the body next month, have been deeply critical of the president’s foreign policy.

Hagel submitted his resignation letter to Obama on Monday morning. The 68-yearold has agreed to remain in office until a successor is confirmed by the Senate.

Hagel was the first enlisted combat military veteran to become secretary of defense.

He served in the Vietnam War and received two Purple Hearts.

A U.S. judge in Chicago has sentenced a reputed lieutenant of captured Mexican drug lord Joaquin “‘El Chapo” Guzman to 22 years in prison for his role in a $1 billion conspiracy to traffic narcotics to Chicago and other cities.

Alfredo Vasquez-Hernandez, 59, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court. He is one of 11 alleged traffickers indicted in Chicago, including Guzman.

Ohio: Police say video of officer shooting boy is ‘clear’ A Cleveland officer was less than 10 feet away when he fatally shot a 12-year-old boy carrying a pellet gun, and video of the shooting is clear about what happened, police said Monday.

The boy was confronted Saturday by officers responding to a 911 call about a male who appeared to be pulling a gun in and out of his pants. The 911 caller said the gun was “probably fake,” then added, “I don’t know if it’s real or not.” Deputy Chief Edward Tomba said Monday that he didn’t know whether a dispatcher shared that information with responding officers. The president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association has said the officers weren’t told the caller thought the gun might be fake.

Police said Tamir Rice, who died Sunday, had an “airsoft” gun that appeared indistinguishable from a real firearm.

Ariz.: VA ousts hospital chief in Phoenix scandal The head of the troubled Phoenix veterans’ hospital was fired Monday as the Veterans Affairs Department continued its crackdown on wrongdoing in the wake of a nationwide scandal over long wait times for veterans seeking medical care and falsified records covering up the delays. Sharon Helman, director of the Phoenix VA Health Care System, was ousted nearly seven months after she and two high-ranking officials were placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into allegations that 40 veterans died while awaiting treatment at the hospital. Helman had led the giant Phoenix facility, which treats more than 80,000 veterans a year, since February 2012. The Phoenix hospital was at the center of the wait-time scandal, which led to the ouster of former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and a new, $16 billion law overhauling the labyrinthine veterans’ health care system.

AROUND THE WORLD France: Pope to address EU Pope Francis will deliver his first public speech about Europe on Tuesday, likely to focus on complex continental issues such as high jobless rates among the young, and immigration. The pontiff is making a four-hour visit to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, Europe’s main human rights body, in Strasbourg.

Austria: Iran talks extended A yearlong effort to seal a nuclear deal with Iran fizzled Monday, leaving the U.S. and its allies little choice but to declare a seven-month extension in hopes that a new deadline will achieve an agreement to limit Tehran’s ability to make a nuclear weapon. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other Western foreign ministers converging on Vienna in a last-ditch diplomatic push talked up the add-on time as the best way forward. Negotiators will now strive to nail down by March 1 what Iran and the six world powers it is negotiating with must do, and by when. A final agreement is meant to follow four months later.

New CEO for United Technologies The aerospace giant says Louis Chenevert is retiring immediately, and will be replaced by CFO Greg Hayes.

By Stephen Singer Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — Aerospace and building systems giant United Technologies announced Monday the abrupt retirement of CEO Louis Chenevert, and named Chief Financial Officer Greg Hayes to succeed him.

Chenevert, 56, also is stepping down as chairman. He had been appointed to both jobs in 2008.

He steered United Technologies’ $18.4 billion purchase of aerospace parts maker Goodrich Corp. in 2012. It was the industry’s largest deal and boosted the company’s presence in the profitable commercial airline business

as its military segments declined.

The company said he informed the board of directors that his retirement from both posts was effective immediately. Edward A. Kangas, lead independent director, has been elected nonexecutive chairman of the board.

Hayes, 54, has been with United Technologies for 25 years and has been chief financial officer for the past six years.

Analyst Ronald J. Epstein of Bank of America Merrill Lynch

said in a note to investors that he spoke to United Technologies management Monday and executives “reiterated that there are no underlying financial issues, accounting or otherwise, at the company and that Mr. Chenevert’s decision to retire was taken on his own.”

Same day holiday delivery is here

biz bits

WASHINGTON — Americans said they expected to spend slightly more on holiday shopping this year, but the figure is down from an October estimate and indicates they might be having second thoughts about the strength of the economy, according to Gallup poll results released Monday.

Respondents projected they would spend $720 on gifts this year, up from a $704 estimate in November 2013.

The estimate points to “an OK holiday season for retailers,” Gallup said.

International sanctions and slumping oil prices are costing Russia well over $100 billion a year, a top official acknowledged Monday. “We are losing about $40 billion a year because of geopolitical sanctions and about $90 (billion) to $100 billion due to a 30 percent drop in oil prices,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said at an international economic conference in Moscow, Interfax reported.

Siluanov said capital flight from Russia is expected to reach $130 billion this year.

U.S. shoppers expect to spread more cheer

Russia feels pinch

By Mae Anderson NEW YORK — A procrastinator’s holiday wish come true: Presents ordered at the last minute can now show up under the Christmas tree that same day.

Amazon, Target and Macy’s and other retailers are offering speedier delivery, including overnight and same-day options that will continue even past the holidays.

The focus on faster shipping is one way retailers are catering to shoppers who’ve become increasingly finicky and impatient. Since the recession, it’s not enough to get lower prices; they want the deepest discounts. And when it comes to ordering online, orders need to be shipped fast.

“I’ll pay extra to get something right away,” says Wendy Connors, a 47-year-old mother of three who lives in Menlo Park, California.

Quick delivery is important for retailers as they head into the winter holiday shopping season, a time when they can make up to 40 percent of their annual sales. U.S. shoppers are expected to spend $61 billion online in November and December, according to research firm comScore.

Retailers can’t afford a repeat last year when UPS and FedEx failed to deliver some packages by Christmas due to a combination of poor weather and overloaded systems, causing angry customers. Neither of the top two deliverers said how many packages were delayed, but noted it was a small share of overall holiday shipments.

Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru fears that the industry could be ill-prepared for the influx of online ordering again this year. She points out that the growth UPS and FedEx are forecasting this season is below growth estimates for online spending by the retail industry.

UPS forecasts it will deliver 585 million packages in December, an 11 percent increase over 2013, and FedEx expects to deliver 290 million packages, an 8.8 percent increase from last year. But research firm ComScore expects online spending will grow 16 percent to $61 billion.

It’s not a direct apples-toapples comparison, Mulpuru concedes, but the difference in estimated percentage growth

Car makers target hackers

By Justin Pritchard Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Against the team of hackers, the poor car stood no chance.

Meticulously overwhelming its computer networks, the hackers showed that — given time — they would be able to pop the trunk and start the windshield wipers, cut the brakes or lock them up, and even kill the engine.

Their motives were not malicious. These hackers worked on behalf of the U.S. military, which along with the auto industry is scrambling to fortify the cyber

defenses of commercially available cars before criminals and even terrorists penetrate them.

“You’re stepping into a rolling computer now,” said Chris Valasek, who helped catapult car hacking into the public eye when he and a partner revealed last year they had been able to control a 2010 Toyota Prius and 2010 Ford Escape by plugging into a port used by mechanics.

These days, when Valasek isn’t working his day job for a computer security firm, he’s seeing how Bluetooth might offer an entry point.

Automakers are betting heavily

that consumers will want not just the maps and music playlists of today but also Internet-enabled vehicles that stream movies and the turn dictation into email.

The federal government wants to require cars to send each other electronic messages warning of dangers on the road.

In these and other connections, hackers see opportunity.

There are no publicly known instances of a car being commandeered outside staged tests. In those tests, hackers prevail.

Pot sellers push holiday sales

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

DENVER — That’s not mistletoe.

From new marijuana strains for the holidays to gift sets and pot-and-pumpkin pies, the burgeoning marijuana industry in Colorado is scrambling to get a piece of the holiday shopping dollar.

Dispensaries in many states have been offering holiday specials for medical customers for years — but this first season of open-to-all-adults marijuana sales in some states means pot shops are using more of the tricks used by traditional retailers to attract holiday shoppers.

Here’s a look at how the new recreational marijuana industry is trying to attract holiday shoppers:

It said the Clydesdales will return to be part of its upcoming Super Bowl ads.

GM letter clears woman in fatal wreck A Texas judge has cleared a woman accused in a fatal wreck after General Motors acknowledged her car would’ve been among millions recalled for an ignition switch problem that may have contributed to the death.

Investigators said Anderson was driving when her Saturn Ion suddenly veered off a road outside Dallas and hit a tree, but the air bags didn’t deploy.

Court officials said a judge Monday expunged Anderson’s record after GM said the recall condition “may have caused or contributed” to the air bags not deploying.

Pot From Page A9

Owner Ryan Fox says his Black Friday pot is decent quality, and says he’s selling below cost to attract attention and pick up some new customers.

As Colorado dispensaries approach a year of being able to sell weed to all adults over 21, not just card-carrying medical patients, Fox says retailers have to do more than just sell pot to get public attention.

Pot shops are using old and new media to tout the sales. One dispensary is taking out a full-page “Happy Danksgiving” ad in The Denver Post and is inviting shoppers to text a code for extra savings.

Visions of sugarplums Sweets and marijuana seem to go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows. Many dispensaries this time of year resemble a Starbucks at the mall, with holiday spices and festive music in the air.

One of the state’s largest edible-pot makers, Sweet Grass Kitchen, debuted a new miniature pumpkin pie that delivers about as much punch as a mediumsized joint. The pie joins holiday-spiced teas, minty pot confections and cannabis-infused honey oil

The industry is participating — and not waiting.

One major association representing brands including Honda and Toyota is helping establish an “information sharing and analysis center” patterned

after efforts by big banks to try to thwart cyberattacks.

“Before, when you designed something, you looked at how might components fail,” said Michael Cammisa, director of safety for the Association of Global Automakers. “Now, you have to look at how would somebody maliciously attack the vehicle.”

The so-called Auto-ISAC will allow participating companies to evaluate the

free gift totes and stockings with purchases.

Speed

Holiday strains Some shops are angling for high-end holiday shoppers, not an increase in foot traffic. Colorado Harvest and Evergreen Apothecary timed the release of some top-shelf strains of potent pot for the holiday season.

Spokeswoman Ann Dickerson says they’re “sort of like the best bourbon or Scotch that will be competing on quality, rather than price.”

Gift wrapping What holiday shopper doesn’t appreciate free gift wrapping? Or a gift set ready to pop under the tree?

The Growing Kitchen is making $49.99 gift sets for both the medical and recreational pot user. The sets include the edible-pot maker’s new Mighty Mint cookie, a pot-infused confection new for the holiday shopping season, along with marijuana-infused salves for muscles sore from the ski slopes. Other dispensaries are offering

For the shopper who wants to give pot but doesn’t know how the recipient likes to get high, Colorado’s 300 or so recreational dispensaries so far have been able to issue only handwritten gift certificates. That’s because banking regulations prohibit major credit cards companies from being able to back marijuana-related gift cards the way they do for other retailers.

Just this month, a Colorado company started offering pot shops a branded gift card they can sell just like other retailers.

The cards are in eight Denver dispensaries so far, and coming soon will be loyalty cards similar to grocerystore loyalty cards that track purchases and can be used to suggest sales or new products to frequent shoppers.

In the mail Just because marijuana can’t legally leave Colorado doesn’t mean dispensaries don’t have items for out-of-state friends and family. Some dispensaries are highlighting some non-cannabis gift items for shoppers who want to give a taste of Colorado’s new marijuana industry without breaking federal law by mailing it or taking it out of state.

Another American company, General Motors, has checked how Boeing and defense companies create systems to repel hackers, according to Mark Reuss, GM’s executive vice president of global product development.

Cybersecurity is “one of the highest priority things that we have,” Reuss said.

“We have got to make sure that our customers are safe.”

Other online retailers are offering same-day delivery.

Google relaunched its Google Shopping service, which costs $10 a month for membership or $4.99 per order, and offers same-day delivery from Costco, Toys R Us and other retailers in about 6 metro areas. And eBay has retooled its “eBay Now” same-day delivery service, introduced in 2012, from a stand-alone app to a method of payment available on its site within the eBay app and website.

Tech companies aren’t the only ones offering same-day delivery.

Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and six mall chains partnered with tech company Deliv to offer the service in major markets.

Same-day delivery is mainly available in big cities, but elsewhere retailers still are working to cut delivery times.

In October, Target rolled out a program to ship items directly from 140 stores in 40 markets, covering most of the country.

Toys R Us, Nordstrom and other retailers also have begun using their stores as mini warehouses to ship items directly to shoppers.

Best Buy, which shipped items from 400 stores last holiday season, said it will ship from all 1,400 stores this time.

During the checkout process, Best Buy will give precise get-it-by delivery dates on about 60 percent of products.

Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky helicopter, Otis elevator and other aerospace and building systems companies.

The company grappled with several high-profile problems this year.

The Pentagon’s entire fleet of nearly 100 F-35 fighter planes was grounded after an engine fire at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida on June 23. A Pentagon spokesman said inspections had not disclosed a systemic problem and defense officials believed the aircraft will return to full flight.

In addition,

Bombardier’s CSeries test flight program was grounded May 30 following what Bombardier called an “engine-related incident” during testing.

The problem was later identified as a leak from an engine oil seal.

Sikorsky and Canada signed a deal in June for delivery of 28 maritime helicopters that ended a long and costly dispute. In May, Sikorsky won a $1.24 billion contract to build the next fleet of “Marine One” presidential helicopters that also ended a yearslong effort to win the project.

IN OUR VIEW | Shopping on the holiday

‘Black’ day for Thanksgiving Here’s how ridiculous this is: It’s easier to list the major retailers that won’t be open on Thanksgiving than it is to list those that will. Among the retailers allowing their workers the day off to share a meal in celebration are Costco, REI, Nordstom, Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Pier 1 Imports, Home Depot and Sam’s Club (although Wal-Mart leads the tide of stores that will be open.)

And to wrap it with a big black bow, some are referring to the day as Black Thursday rather than, well, Thanksgiving.

Recognizing that the subject approaches curmudgeon territory, it’s not too much to ask that the day be left as one that allows as many people as possible to be with their

families. Of course, there are plenty of people who work on Thanksgiving, not to mention Christmas and other holidays. Those working in public safety, health care and other occupations that require staffing every day, around the clock, deserve our appreciation.

But we can wait a day longer to buy a 42-inch flatscreen TV, can’t we?

Some will say that those stores choosing not to open on Black Thursday are milking their “Closed for Thanksgiving” signs for publicity.

Certainly, they are counting on impressing some shoppers who would prefer to shop somewhere that values its employees more an additional day of sales. Some shoppers are content to buy according

only to price, but others prefer to patronize stores that they believe share some of their values.

And maybe the blame lies not with the stores that plan to be open on Thanksgiving but with shoppers themselves.

Consulting firm Accenture surveyed shoppers recently and found that 45 percent of Americans planned to be out for Black Thursday, up from 38 percent in 2013. And only 32 percent said they didn’t plan to shop on Thursday so they could be home with family, down from 41 percent last year.

So, are we more interested in scoring a great deal on a gift for a family member, than we are in sharing a meal with that family member?

Here’s the irony: The Black Thursday and Black Friday

deals are rarely that big of a deal. “Doorbusters” typically are items in limited supply at each store, which means that if you haven’t started lining up outside the Wal-Mart on Wednesday or earlier you’re likely out of luck.

There is one shopping day we’re happy to promote.

Saturday, following the blackness of Thursday and Friday, is Small Business Saturday, which encourages shoppers to make their holiday purchases at locally owned shops. You can find out more at tinyurl. com/SBAsaturday. By doing so shoppers support the local economy, help keep small businesses open and help provide jobs for their friends and neighbors.

And you won’t miss out on any pie on Thursday.

every day until the schools are funded. A mudslide made the headlines every day for months. Why don’t taxpayerpaid criminals? Why aren’t they arrested? Why aren’t they fired? I’m thinking it’s high time for a class-action lawsuit.

too far-fetched.

To my mind, the existence of these acids on a comet indicate that there must be life elsewhere in the universe, which is far more significant than assuming that these are the origin of life on Earth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■CONGRESS

Don’t hold breath over McConnell Debra J. Saunders’ Nov. 9 column, “McConnell at Senate helm could actually ease gridlock” is too ridiculous to ignore.

It doesn’t matter when McConnell said, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

He has stuck to this plan at the expense of getting legislation passed in the Senate. We have seen the Republicans routinely abandon legislation they once supported just to be against anything President Obama wanted.

Anyone who thinks McConnell “wants to work on areas of agreement with Obama” is deluded. Cooperation with Republicans has come to mean the Democrats must abandon their principles and cave to the Republicans’ side.

That is not compromise. There is also no legitimate comparison between Harry Reid’s gentlemanly leadership in the Senate and McConnell’s obstinate obstructionism that he will likely continue as Majority Leader. While Reid has worked to actually get legislation passed, McConnell has done the opposite. McConnell’s first test will be to see if he meant it when he said, “There will be no government shutdowns.”

■■REPUBLICANS

Out to reverse social progress While I don’t agree with everything Obama and the Democrats propose, I vote for them because I remember Bush’s attempt to kill Social Security when the Republicans were at the height of their power a few years ago. This is an example of their long-range plan to undo all the Democrats’ social progress of almost 100 years, especially the New Deal.

Listen to Grover Norquist, one of their guiding lights.

“It will soon be time to begin phasing out the income tax and replace it with a consumer tax.” What he doesn’t say is that the value added tax is a Republican dream-scheme to replace income, inheritance and business taxes. This is not just some tea party crackpot talking. Norquist is an example of the core string-pullers in the party. When some senator holds a hearing in which he rails against Social Security’s “fraud and abuse,” he is playing to contributors who want the whole system dead, including Medicare. Ending oversight of banks and a return to 1928 is in

their wish-list. But giving Social Security the funds to adequately review disability cases is not. Better to be able to complain about it and how evil the IRS is. Better to be able to campaign about abortion and guns while they’re planning another great fleecing of the American middle-class. The very rich are never satisfied. Long live the memory of FDR.

■■LEGISLATURE

Why don’t papers state the truth?

I have finally figured out who the Washington state legislators represent. It’s not the voters, as the voters want the schools funded. It’s not the Constitution, as they refuse to abide by it. It’s not the Supreme Court, as they ignore orders from them. So who does the Legislature represent? Newspaper editors. Each and every one of them. It must be true as there is no headline saying “Legislature refuses to do their job.” Or “Washington lawmakers are above the law and to hell with their constituents.”

There should be a headline in every paper in the state

■■ADOPTION DAY

■■I-1351

Wow, what a great picture with the adoption story on your front page Saturday.

Stopped me in my tracks.

I-1351 calling for smaller class size was largely backed by the teachers union. With their large campaign war chest they managed to entice voters into barely passing this unfunded mandate. When it was placed on the ballot there was no explanation as to how it would be funded. Educating our children is an important issue but shouldn’t voters know how much it will cost and how it will be funded before voting? We now know that it is estimated to cost $2 billion annually and is unbudgeted. It will create 25,000 new school jobs, including 7,500 teachers and 17,500 support staff.

In addition to this, the state Supreme Court ruled that the state was not adequately funding K-12 education. The end result of this ruling is the state will have to pick up a larger share of what local school districts currently pay. This is also unbudgeted and is estimated to exceed $1 billion annually. Oh, by the way, these cost estimates do not include the money that will be needed for new schools or transportation.

You might ask “where will this $3 billion-plus come from”?

You guessed it, the taxpayers.

All of this is taking place while the governor’s No. 1 concern is global warming. Go figure.

■■COMET PROBE

Giant leap about amino acids The landing of a probe on a comet is a tremendous engineering achievement. But for what purpose? Scientists are obsessed with finding a reason, other than creation, for the existence of life on this planet.

Low and behold, the probe detected the presence of amino acids, so the scientists gleefully announced that a bombardment by amino acid soaked comets were responsible for initiating life as we know it.

Well, from what I have read, the 20 or so amino acids are coded from a particular sequence of DNA (a process scientists are having a job understanding) which, in turn, synthesizes the complex proteins required by living organisms. So, amino acids are a byproduct of the life cycle, not the creator of it. To imagine that a cloud of amino acids could miraculously combine themselves into the complex components of a living cell is

Is Hagel’s firing over a bad fit or shift in focus?

I

t’s a surprise to see President Obama actually fire someone. But I have to worry that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s forced departure may signal further expansion of U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Syria.

Obama hardly ever gives anybody the boot, often sticking with aides and appointees long past their sellEUGENE ROBINSON by dates.

Obama said Monday that Hagel “came to me” to discuss a possible departure, but multiple news reports quoted senior officials as saying he was forced out. Coming after last week’s in-your-face executive action on immigration, the move seemed to suggest that Obama’s patience, at this point in his tenure, no longer rivals that of Job. That’s all to the good. Obama will accomplish more in his last two years if he is seen as taking the initiative rather than reacting to events — and if he has the right team in place.

From the start, Hagel, a two-term senator, seemed kind of wrong. He stumbled and fumbled through his confirmation hearings, despite the fact that he was among old friends: In the end, he won the votes of just four fellow Republicans.

Hagel’s chief recommendation for the job was his skepticism about George W. Bush’s war in Iraq. As early as 2005, Hagel was comparing Iraq to Vietnam — where he had served in combat as an enlisted man. In 2006, he wrote in The Washington Post that “there will be no victory or defeat for the United States in Iraq” and called for beginning a withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Was he equally skeptical about Barack Obama’s war in Iraq and Syria? Not if you judge by his public statements. Before Obama had even decided on his air-war strategy, which has already morphed into air-war-plus, Hagel said the Islamic State was “beyond anything that we’ve seen” and an “imminent threat to every interest we have.” The White House was not thrilled at the hyperbole.

If that was really Hagel’s view, however, at the Pentagon he did little to act on it. Unlike other recent wartime defense secretaries — Donald Rumsfeld leaps to mind — Hagel showed little interest in trying to micromanage strategy and tactics.

He left that to the professionals — led by Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey — and the White House.

Hagel’s original task, as defined by Obama, was to oversee the withdrawal of combat forces from Afghanistan and manage a rational shrinking of the Pentagon budget. That changed with the rise of the Islamic State and Obama’s decision to launch a new war.

Obama has already doubled his initial troop commitment to 3,000. U.S. and allied airstrikes have slowed, and in some places halted, Islamic State advances — at least in Iraq. But the terrorist militia continues to hold a vast swath of territory in Iraq and Syria, and military experts are virtually unanimous in saying that airstrikes alone cannot carry out Obama’s pledge to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the group and its purported “caliphate.”

Other elements of the president’s plan are not panning out. The Shiite-dominated Iraqi government has not reached out to Sunni tribal leaders and convinced them to turn their backs on the Islamic State.

The Iraqi army has not magically been transformed into an effective fighting force. The “moderate” Syrian rebels who are supposed to serve as allied ground troops have not been trained or equipped; mostly they have been getting smashed between the Islamic State’s hammer and Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s anvil.

Hagel’s public statements may have been all over the map, but he has a demonstrated aversion to deploying U.S. combat troops without a clear mission or a clear path to victory. I accept that probably he was not the right person for the job. But it is essential, in my view, that his replacement have similar caution.

It is hard to imagine that the current strategy can possibly work. It is hard to see how the United States avoids becoming mired in Iraq’s sectarian struggles and Syria’s apocalyptic civil war. Dempsey and other military officials have already mused that if this plan fails, a new plan might require more troops.

I hope Hagel’s departure is more about rectifying a bad fit than about a fundamental shift in the nature of the job. I hope the president keeps this truth in mind: It’s easier to crank up a war than wind it down.

The cleanup party removed a teddy bear with muddy paws, dream catchers, a large cedar wreath and the melted wax of soggy-wicked candles. It took down cards sent from Canada, Germany and Japan as well as Marysville Pilchuck alumni and schools across Snohomish County.

“The love on that wall was truly global,” said Anne Carlson, the district’s lead security officer who has spent many years on the Marysville Pilchuck campus.

EVERY TUESDAY 10 LUCKY PLAYERS TAKE THEIR SEAT AT THE TABLE FOR

Lovick’s deputy executive, Mark Ericks, said the administration would reserve comment until performing a closer analysis.

Sullivan, after the hearing, didn’t hesitate to express his displeasure.

“It’s very unfortunate,” he said. “I can’t vote for a budget that I really consider unsustainable. It takes the poorest and most vulnerable in the community and kicks them to the curb.”

Sullivan was most upset that a majority of the council opted to cut the county’s contribution to the Snohomish Health District’s First Steps program to $450,000 from $900,000.

The program, where funding has long been in doubt, has served thousands of atrisk moms and newborn babies, who come to the health district for check ups until the infants’ first birthday.

The Health District plans to dip into budget reserves to keep the program going through next year, as they look for ways to sustain it over the long term, deputy director Peter Mayer said.

In council chambers Monday, tension was often palpable.

At one point, Sullivan said “it’s not my job” to balance the budget. Somers challenged him, saying that’s what all council members are supposed to do.

Reached after the hearing, Sullivan apologized.

“Of course it’s my job,” he said. “I said that out of frustration” for being excluded from drafting the budget.

The latest version of the budget is more than $1 million smaller than the plan Somers released a week ago. That’s largely because a majority of the

council decided to keep the general property tax levy virtually unchanged next year — instead of adding the 1 percent tax increase allowed by state law. Many local cities add the extra 1 percent routinely, with little public attention.

Klein, Sullivan and Wright opposed the higher tax, while Somers and Ryan supported it.

“For me it’s great, because there is no increase in taxes,” said Klein, the lone Republican on the council. “It keeps the executive accountable for increases” in the budget.

The extra 1 percent would have added about $2.53 to property-tax bills for a house assessed at the countywide average of $244,600. Both Somers’ and Lovick’s proposed budgets included the increase.

The latest version of the budget includes 1.5 percent across-the-board cuts for most county departments. The exceptions are the jail and Sheriff’s Office, which face cuts of about half that amount.

The budget Lovick prepared included no such cuts. Instead, it used $4.2 million in property taxes to bulk up various reserve funds, freeing up other cash for day-to-day expenses.

A majority of the council argued that those taxes were passed during past budget cycles specifically to pay for the courthouse — not other needs. The budget the council approved would keep that money in reserve for when the courthouse bonds come due in 2016.

It could be used for other needs only if the $162 million building comes in under budget.

“The executive’s budget was unsustainable,” Ryan said.

The council also erased raises that Lovick’s administration had granted to six top managers, including

Ericks and department directors. Council members originally questioned whether raises granted to 11 managers were allowed under county code.

The budget sprinkled taxes from real estate sales to a smattering of community projects. Mukilteo stands to get $250,000 in real-estate excise taxes to build ballfields at a future Boys & Girls Club facility; there was $200,000 for a youth recreation center in the Stillaguamish Valley; and $100,000 for upgrades at the county’s Meadowdale Beach Park.

The proposed budget abruptly cuts the position of the new director in charge of the county morgue. Dan Chrisman, a former Bothell police sergeant who started his job on Sept. 2, was expected to help stem management problems that had dogged the Medical Examiner’s Office for years. Since last year, the county has spent more than $600,000 to settle employee lawsuits that arose out of the office during the tenure of Dr. Norman Thiersch.

The forensic pathologist resigned this fall.

“That department is the most top-heavy management department in the county,” said Ryan, who proposed cutting out the position.

Somers and Klein supported the move.

The county will long be dealing with expenses from March’s Oso mudslide, which killed 43 people.

On Friday, the executive’s office asked the council to approve $4 million in related expenses. Somers worried that elected leaders didn’t have enough time to factor those costs into next year’s budget.

Ericks contends that the expenses should have come as no surprise.

Prenatal info: What to do when caring for 2

P

regnancy is an important time for both mother and baby. The prenatal treatment you receive can determine your health during pregnancy and the infant’s after delivery. So take good care of yourself — after all, you’re caring for two.

Here are suggestions for a healthier and more pleasant nine months: Get prenatal care. See your health care provider as soon as you suspect you’re pregnant. And keep all your prenatal appointments; studies have shown regular prenatal care is essential for the health of both mother and infant.

Eat a nutritious diet. Drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in protein and fiber such as whole grains, vegetables and beans. The usual goal for weight gain is about 25 to 35 pounds.

Also consult with your provider about taking a prenatal vitamin that contains folic acid, calcium and iron.

Minimize nausea. Eat frequent, small meals and avoid spicy or fatty foods. Nibbling on crackers may also help calm your stomach. So can taking your prenatal vitamin with a meal.

Avoid toxins. Don’t smoke, drink or use illegal drugs. And avoid exposing the fetus to chemicals such as pesticides or products that contain lead, mercury or solvents. Also, check with your provider before taking any prescription or over-the-counter drugs or dietary supplements.

Get adequate exercise. It will improve your health during pregnancy, prevent excess weight gain, and speed recovery after delivery. Walking, swimming, stationary cycling and prenatal stretching and strengthening exercises are generally safe, but first get your provider’s OK. Dress in layers. Staying cool may lessen nausea and fatigue.

Avoid hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms since overheating can harm the baby’s newly developing nervous system.

Reduce joint pain. For backache, wear flat shoes, practice good posture, and avoid standing or sitting for long periods.

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

DAN BATES / THE HERALD

A bedroom closet in Mark Brandsma’s home contains some serious big and tall clothing stock.

By Mina Williams

On the Net

Special to The Herald

SNOHOMISH — When Mark Brandsma wanted to start a small business, he thought big.

His Six8 Clothing Co. specializes in casual clothing for men in the 6-foot to 7-foot range.

Brandsma’s company, dubbed for his own height, offers 189 individual styles and colors of shirts and jeans.

From polo shirts and T-shirts to three styles of jeans, the line continues to grow. A collection of flannel shirts were introduced in October. Casual slacks are now in the design phase.

While specializing in niche markets has been a marketing dream for many small businesses, success stems from a firm foundation of expertise, passion and flawless execution, according to Brandsma.

The 54-year-old’s passion for fashion was sparked as he grew up in his native Netherlands.

His father worked for C&A, an international Dutch chain of fashion retail clothing stores, in the men’s department for 37 years. When Brandsma was old enough, he joined the company working the floor at his father’s side. As he grew, he was frustrated to see all the fashion options offered at retail that he couldn’t fit into.

www.six8clothingcompany.com.

As he continued to grow, Brandsma decided to move to the United States.

“I was a basketball player born in a soccer country,” he said. “I kept looking for avenues that would take me to the United States to play.”

That opportunity came to Bandsma in his early 20s. But it came in the form of cute American girl visiting her mother’s family in the Netherlands. Now married 33 years, the couple met while out on the town with friends.

Brandsma moved to Texas with her and was a walk-on to a Division 1 team, the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg near the Texas-Mexico border.

When it became clear he was not professional basketball material, his summer job at the fast food chain Whataburger became a 10-year stint with the company. Over that time he moved up the ranks into regional management.

“The restaurant business is hard work, long hours and I was gone from home a lot,” said Brandsma.

He reached out to his father

for connections that would lead him back into the fashion business. His C&A past put him in a prime position to join their Miller’s Outpost clothing store group. Following years in the Southern California market, he was moved to the Northwest in late 1997 to open 20 stores in 24 months. He settled his family in Snohomish because of the country lifestyle.

When C&A sold the chain to a venture capital firm, Brandsma was a casualty of corporate restructuring. He found another position with Family Christian Stores as the Northwest district manager, opening new stores in the same shopping centers as he had with Miller’s Outpost. After eight years, another corporate repositioning put Brandsma’s name on the layoff list. He then set out on his own.

“I had some savings and funds from severance packages,” he said. “When I explored various areas I took stock in what I know and where my passion was. I do love clothing and I do know tall.”

Being in the height range of his customers, Brandsma is well poised to be the line’s lead designer.

“You cannot simply add length and call it ‘tall’,” he said.

“We have bigger hands which means shirt buttons and zipper pulls have to be bigger,

front pants pockets need to be 11-inches deep and there needs to be 63⁄4-inch back pocket openings. Little things mean a lot to big guys.”

Those designs are turned over to a local pattern maker who supplies the patterns for production at a Tukwila-based manufacturer. Brandsma likes having a factory so close to home to reduce shipping costs.

Plus it makes checking on the garment quality easy.

The business lessons Brandsma has learned are too numerous to count, he said.

“In hindsight I should have started with a women’s line. I would have been further along,” he said. “Women shop better and more frequently for clothes than men. Now seven out of 10 of Six8’s shoppers are women who experience the fit frustration of their sons and husbands.”

Making the decision to use online marketing was not that difficult. Brandsma believes that tall customers, who cannot find their size in stores, are already online seeking for clothing solutions.

His notion about online is underscored by a National Retail Federation overview pegging a full 50 percent more tall men buying clothing online

t starts out as a quiet evening, snug on the sofa watching a movie.

Suddenly, lights flash through the blinds.

A siren blares.

You see an ambulance in the driveway of the house next door. Oh, no!

The driver jumps out, opens the side door and pulls out ... a pizza?

What’s up with that?

Why, it’s the delivery car for Cactus Jack’s Pizza.

The 1996 Ford diesel ambulance was part of the inventory when John Condyles took over ownership of the pizzeria at 12926 Mukilteo Speedway. When not in use, it’s parked by the busy thoroughfare to draw attention to the eatery in the Alberstons complex just over the Lynnwood border.

In daylight, there’s no mistaking the ambulance for a real emergency vehicle. It’s painted bright yellow and orange with a cartoon jackrabbit and cactus. It reads: “Serving your emergency pizza needs.”

The inside has a few modifications to meet the needs of a pizza medic.

“The part where the slab was where they put the patients is taken out,” Condyles said. “That’s where the warmer is. It warms 60 pizzas.”

It gets about 12 miles a gallon. “I use it to make bigger deliveries,” he said. The other delivery vehicle is a Camry.

The lights and sirens are the real shrieking thing, but the pizza ambulance doesn’t go screaming down the Speedway all lit up. The Code 3 treatment is by request only, typically by schools, parties, businesses and to give the neighbors a jolt on an otherwise mundane night.

“When I pull up, I give a little siren. It is really loud,” Condyles said. “The kids really like it. They think it’s fun.”

He’s used the ambulance to deliver pizza to fire departments. No, they don’t compare bells and whistles.

“They got the big new ones,” he said.

Quash dream of being more than ‘just friends’

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Recently I’ve become friends outside of work with a co-worker, which I don’t normally do. We have a lot in common and enjoy spending time together.

I thought maybe we could be more than friends, but during a conversation he said he wanted to clarify that we are hanging out as “just friends.” I was so surprised by the conversation that I just replied by nodding and saying “of course” ... and then we moved on to talk about other things.

I’m not sure now if I should bother trying to go back and clarify his statement as being a permanent thing (i.e. he’s just not attracted to me at all) or if it’s a “for now” statement (as in you never know ... maybe once we’re no longer co-workers it’ll be different). What do you think? I do want to keep the friendship because I do like him and enjoy doing things with him.

— Co-Worker Then take him at his word and treat this just as a friendship.

If you were pursuing the friendship just for the promise of something more, though, then consider stepping back, if only to

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT allow you to drag any ulterior motives out of their hiding places.

Rationalizations now will become needless pain later.

It’s normal to harbor some hope of something more, but it’ll have much less power over you if you recognize it for what it is — a nice thought, not a plan.

Oh, and DON’T “go back and clarify.” What are you going to say: “Are you saying you’re not attracted to me now, or are you saying not ever?”

Again — assume not ever. It’s better to be pleasantly surprised when something does develop than to be let down when something doesn’t.

Dear Carolyn: My husband of 17 years, who used to be a fitness fanatic, has not done anything to get or stay in

Time to nip that Swiss chard thief in the bud Dear Abby: I live in a 55-and-older mobile home park. Because my coach isn’t huge, I have a nice little backyard where I have a small vegetable garden and a lovely lemon tree.

One day while I was tending my garden, the woman who lives behind me came over to say hello and admire my vegetables. When she saw I have Swiss chard growing, she exclaimed, “Oh, I will have to pick some because my daughter loves it!”

I was dumbfounded.

She has room to plant her own little garden, but never does. She has helped herself to lemons, too. When I saw her doing it, I was again too shocked to say anything. She doesn’t ask; she just helps herself.

What do I say at times like these? We live so close and there are no fences ... yet. — Fuming in Vista, Calif.

Dear Fuming: Unless you are willing to draw the line, your neighbor will continue to assume that silence is consent. So pay the woman a visit, and tell her you would prefer that she ASK permission before helping herself to anything in your garden. And if that doesn’t stop her, make installing that fence a priority.

Dear Abby: Nowadays, I’m learning about the deaths of family members and friends by email, and I’m uncertain how to respond. I always send thoughtful, personal handwritten notes of condolence. But how best to acknowledge or respond to the email?

“If he had picked up the trumps,” I said, “I’ll bet he would have led a heart to dummy’s queen, trying for three overtricks.”

“No doubt,” Ed nodded.

“But I took the queen of trumps, and we cashed two diamonds. East then led his last diamond, and my ten of trumps was sure to score for down one. You should have heard North.”

South’s correct play was to take the A-K of trumps. With a normal 3-2 break, he would have at least 10 tricks. If trumps broke 4-1, South would have options but might finesse in

hearts and make his game if West had the king.

DAILY QUESTION: You hold: ♠AKJ874♥3◆K84♣K7 6. You open one spade, your partner bids two hearts, you rebid two spades and he rebids three hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: Partner has six or seven hearts but minimum values for a two-level response. For you to rebid three spades would be wrong.

If partner’s hand is weakish in high cards, his long suit should be trumps. Pass. Though your minor-suit kings may be winners, game prospects are unclear.

I pick up the phone and CALL the person who sent the email, or a member of the family that suffered the loss. I express my sympathy and find out the details — such as where and when the funeral or memorial will be held, and if I can send flowers or make a donation. THEN I write the condolence note.

Dear Abby: When I come home from work, errands or whatever, my wife is often on the phone. I find it rude that she won’t put the phone down for a moment to say hello and, if the call needs to be returned, tell me briefly what it’s about.

Is that unreasonable?

My wife walks into another room with no explanation, never straying from the call, and continues talking for another 10 or 20 minutes. What do you think of this? — Craving Attention in Colo.

Dear Craving: I agree that it would be more loving if she acknowledged your presence with a smile and a “Hi, Honey — I’ll be off the phone in a few minutes.” However, for you to expect her to report who she’s talking to and what they have been discussing seems not only nosy on your part, but could be considered controlling.

Can ‘Today’ rebound from turmoil?

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — It’s rarely a good sign when morning television hosts are painfully bantering about whether they are keeping their jobs.

That’s where Willie Geist and Natalie Morales found themselves during the most difficult week for NBC’s “Today” show in two years.

At its end, an NBC News executive was fired after two months on the job and the network was tamping down reports of mutinies, firings and transfers at the lucrative morning franchise.

It was an unwanted reminder of the ugly firing of Ann Curry from “Today” in 2012, which helped ABC’s rival “Good Morning America” fly past NBC to the top of the morning heap.

“It’s reopening the same wound,” said Shelley Ross, a veteran producer who ran morning shows at ABC and CBS. Now NBC News is searching again for an executive to oversee its most important broadcast.

It was considered a coup when NBC lured Jamie Horowitz from ESPN for a newly created job as “Today” brand manager. Horowitz wasn’t to concern himself with filling four hours of television a day, but to look at the big picture. “Today” was no longer in a free fall with viewers but hadn’t made appreciable progress narrowing ABC’s lead.

By all accounts, he was in the midst of studying and creating a plan for the show’s future.

NBC

Last week was tension city for the “Today” show crew (from left) Tamron Hall, Natalie Morales, Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer and Al Roker.

The first sign of trouble came with a tabloid report of feuding between Morales and colleague Tamron Hall. That had to anger NBC News President Deborah Turness, who was burned by how the dismissal of David Gregory from “Meet the Press” played out in an ugly public fashion.

A week ago, Turness announced that Horowitz was out, telling her staff in a memo that she was convinced that it was “not the right fit.”

That prompted a flurry of anonymous reports describing sinking morale and backbiting at the show, even an intercession by Matt Lauer when he heard of proposed changes.

When it culminated in a story that

Geist and Morales were being fired, presumably an idea that predated Horowitz’s ouster, Turness issued a strongly worded statement supporting the current “Today” cast.

On-air personnel issues are particularly touchy on morning television, which creates an illusion of “family” with viewers.

NBC News will now look for a new “Today” brand manager, with the Horowitz episode sure to leave questions in the minds of potential applicants: Will I really have the freedom to make changes? If it comes down to my opinion versus a powerful anchor’s, do I really have a chance?

50 years ago (1964) Washington State Nurses Association District No. 9 was planning a Christmas party at the home of Alice Montgomery in Lake Stevens. Members were asked to bring a gift for the exchange and some change. For rides, ladies could call Laura Averill, Gladys Baldassi, Beryl Dawe, Genevieve Simmons, Rena Stitt, Margaret Wells, Casmira Zak or Louise Uyeda.

Walsh-Platt Motors at Hewitt and Rucker avenues would soon present a new face to the public and its employees. Windows in the showroom were being removed, along with parts of the building so that new windows at the sidewalk

could be installed.

Yes, they do. Studies show kids face many of the same health risks as adults with hypertension including stroke and heart disease. In the latest guidelines the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has issued the following recommendations: Healthy children: All children ages 3 years or older should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year.

High-risk children: Certain at-risk kids need blood pressure monitoring even earlier. Starting at birth, children with urinary or cardiovascular problems and those who spent time in a neonatal intensive care unit should have their blood pressure checked regularly.

The guidelines note the average blood pressure level has risen among U.S. children, and that the increase is at least partly due to the growing rate of childhood obesity.

Huskies Washington head coach Chris Petersen prepares for his first Apple Cup, C5

TUESDAY, 11.25.2014

Source: Seager, M’s agree on $100M deal 27-year-old third baseman’s contract would be for seven years Associated Press SEATTLE — Kyle Seager has cashed in on the best season of his young career, becoming the

third Seattle Mariners player to reach the $100 million threshold.

The third baseman and the Mariners have agreed to a $100 million, seven-year contract,

a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday. The person spoke to the AP on condiKyle tion of anonymity Seager because the deal is pending a physical.

The deal also includes a 2022 option.

Seager is coming off his first All-Star game selection and his first Gold Glove. The 27-yearold hit .268 with a career-high 25 homers and 96 RBI. Seager was eligible for salary arbitration and would have been eligible for free agency after the 2017 season. He made $540,000 last season and now joins pitcher Felix Hernandez and second baseman Robinson

Cano as Mariners with nine-figure contracts.

Yahoo! Sports first reported the agreement. There was no comment from the team. The Tacoma News Tribune subsequently confirmed that a deal is in place pending a physical examination.

Seattle said it was committed to raising its payroll after the team See SEAGER, Page C2

Seahawks’ Carroll upset with officiating

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL

By John Boyle Herald Writer

families are very close and spend lots of time together, traveling for basketball tournaments, holidays and family vacations.

“We’ve done summer camping trips and basketball tournaments and everything else,” said Scott Pollock, Madison’s father. “We do vacations, we do holidays and we do basketball.”

The elder Smiths and Pollocks met when they all attended Central in the early 1990s. They

RENTON — Pete Carroll’s frustration with officiating boiled over on the sidelines during Seattle’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and a day later his opinion hadn’t changed much.

It wasn’t so much that the Seahawks’ head coach Runwas furious ning back with specific Marshawn Lynch calls in Sun- is expected to play day’s game against 49ers, C5 as much as the trend he is noticing this season, a trend he saw before when he coached a powerhouse in the college ranks.

“I’ve had it about up to here with this penalty situation and the way it’s gone,” Carroll said on his weekly show on 710 ESPN Seattle. “... They won’t call penalties on the other guys.”

A few hours later Carroll had less to say on the topic during his Monday press conference, perhaps because he realized the league might issue a fine if he continues to be critical of officiating.

“I’m never griping about what they’re calling on us,” Carroll said.

He even went on to say he can see why the officials called pass interference on Byron Maxwell, one of the calls that had him most livid during the game.

But what seems to be bothering Carroll isn’t that a lot of calls are going against his team, but rather the disparity in calls against the Seahawks compared to the number against their opponents. The Seahawks have had 88 penalties enforced against them this season, fourth most in the league, but their opponents have had just 48 penalties enforced when

One could be forgiven for confusing Madison Pollock and Madeline Smith.

The pair, who have been friends since they were babies, are both 6-foot-1, both called “Maddy” and both have high hopes for the Snohomish girls basketball team this season.

“It’s a team goal to get to state,” Pollock said. “I think we’re going to do very well this year and I’m very confident in our team.”

We could not be more polar opposite.”

Santa Clara has Snohomish County basketball pipeline Glacier Peak High School’s Katie Hawkins, Archbishop Murphy High School’s Beth Carlson and Everett High School’s Sidney Rielly play for the Broncos’ women’s basketball team.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

They were three basketball standouts at three Snohomish County high schools. Their paths crossed occasionally on the court, but otherwise they barely knew each other.

But they ended up together at Santa Clara University and these onetime rivals — junior guard-forward Katie Hawkins from Snohomish’s Glacier Peak High School, redshirt freshman forward Beth Carlson from Everett’s Archbishop Murphy High School and freshman guard Sidney Rielly from Everett High School — are today teammates.

Not only that, they are now good friends.

“We were all familiar with each other before, but it was not like we were hanging out outside of basketball,” Carlson said. “But when we finally met (at Santa Clara), it’s not like we had to introduce ourselves. We all kind of knew who each other were.”

Given their histories as opponents, those first meetings were “a little bit awkward,” she admitted. “But it’s actually been really fun getting to know them. We all have this Seattle bond, we all know a lot of the same people and now we’re all really close.”

“It’s great now,” agreed Rielly.

“They’re great teammates.”

Hawkins, Carlson and Rielly were all recruited by former Santa Clara coach Jennifer Mountain, whose contract was not renewed after last season (she is now an assistant at Portland State). She was replaced by JR Payne, the previous coach at Southern Utah, who was hired in April.

“I’m sure (Mountain) knew a lot of the players in the Northwest and that there’s a lot of great girls basketball talent in that area,” Payne said.

The city of Santa Clara, California, is just outside of San Jose and about 25 miles south of San Francisco. The university, a private Jesuit institution with an undergraduate enrollment of about 5,500 students, competes in the West Coast Conference, so Northwest schools Gonzaga and Portland are league rivals.

Ex-Seahawk leads Ravens past Saints

By Brett Martelap Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Justin Forsett ripped off one long run after another, and the Baltimore Ravens battered Drew Brees into a very costly mistake.

Forsett rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns, and Baltimore beat New Orleans 34-27 on Monday night to hand the Saints their third consecutive loss.

Will Hill had a 44-yard interception return for a go-ahead score for Baltimore in the third quarter. Steve Smith caught four passes for 89 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown catch for the Ravens (7-4), who improved to 4-0 against the NFC South and remained within a half-game of AFC North leader Cincinnati (7-3-1).

Forsett’s scoring runs went for 13 yards in the second quarter and 20 yards late in the fourth quarter to seal it.

“The offensive line did a great job of making those lanes open for me,” Forsett said. “I just tried to seize the moment.”

Brees passed for 420 yards and three touchdowns for New Orleans (4-7), which remained tied for first in its anemic division with Atlanta, which lost to Cleveland a day earlier.

Ex-Mariner Johnson on Hall of Fame ballot Associated Press NEW YORK — Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz are among 17 newcomers on baseball’s 2015 Hall of Fame ballot.

Craig Biggio, who fell two votes short of the 75 percent needed in the 2014 balloting, tops 17 holdovers on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot announced Monday. That group includes Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines.

Johnson, who played for the Mariners from 1989 to 1998, went 303-166 and won five Cy Young Awards. The Big Unit struck out 4,875 batters, second only to Nolan Ryan’s 5,714.

Martinez, a three-time Cy Young winner, was 219-100 and struck out 3,154. He led the major leagues in ERA five times.

Smoltz is vying to join former Atlanta teammates Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, who were inducted this year along with Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas. Smoltz had a 213-155 record and 154 saves, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves. He was 15-4 in the postseason.

Carlos Delgado, Nomar Garciaparra, Gary Sheffield and players’ association head Tony Clark also are among the firsttime eligibles.

Don Mattingly will appear on the ballot for the 15th and final time after receiving 8 percent last year. The Hall’s board voted in July to cut a player’s eligibility from 15 years to 10 but grandfathered players in the 11-15 group, which also includes Alan Trammell (14th year) and Lee Smith (13th).

Players who have admitted steroids use or been tainted with accusations of use have fallen short.

McGwire, entering his next-to-last year of eligibility, received 11 percent last year, down from a peak of 25.6 in 2008.

Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, dropped from 38 percent to 35 percent in his second ballot appearance. Bonds, a seven-time MVP and baseball’s career home run leader, fell from 36 percent to 35. Sosa, who hit 609 homers, dropped from 13 percent to 7 and is close to falling below the 5 percent threshold for remaining on the ballot.

Voters are the approximately 600 writers who have been members of the BBWAA for 10 consecutive years at any point.

Ballots must be postmarked

by Dec. 27. Results will be announced Jan. 6.

Players elected, along with choices announced Dec. 8 by the golden era committee (1947-72), will be inducted July 26 at Cooperstown.

position. ... Her defense is good.

She’s quick and athletic. It makes us a quicker team. It makes us a better team.”

Roberts and the Panthers “have our hands full coming out of the gates” with three postseason teams from a year ago.

Snohomish’s non-conference schedule includes Lynnwood, which placed third in 4A but is now in the 3A classification, Glacier Peak and Arlington — all tough opponents for the Panthers.

Still, the Snohomish head coach believes his team could be one of the two teams from Wesco 4A that makes it to the state tournament.

“They’re fun to coach. It’s going to be a good season,” Roberts said. “As a coach, I know the players make the program. I know the players this year and the way they respond to coaching. I just think the program is in great shape right now.”

“We have a great team, we have a great program and everyone is on the same page,” Smith said.

“We all want to get there more than anything. Oh, I am so ready.

I’m so excited for the season.”

Red Sox sign Sandoval, Ramirez Associated Press BOSTON — The Red Sox are hoping to spend their way out of the AL East cellar with two big free agent signings.

The first team in major league history to go from worst to first and back again has agreed to terms third baseman Pablo Sandoval, his agent confirmed Monday night. According to a baseball official with knowledge of the deal, Boston also agreed to a deal with Hanley Ramirez, who came up to the major leagues with the Red Sox. The official confirmed both agreements on the condition of anonymity because the players hadn’t passed physicals. The Ramirez deal was expected to be finalized Tuesday.

The moves give the Red Sox a potent batting order that includes two of the last three World Series MVPs, Sandoval and David Ortiz. But they still have to replace the four starting pitchers they traded last summer.

Sandoval, 28, is a career .294

Seager From page C1

won 87 games and finished one game back for the AL’s second wild card.

“We can be told that we’re young, that we’re going to be good, that we’re going to be competing, that we’re going to win, but to get out there and to do it is a major step forward,” Seager said after the season finale. “Once you see yourself in that position, and once you’re actually out there on the field knowing that not only can you compete with anybody but you can beat anybody, is a big step forward.”

hitter who had 16 homers and 73 RBIs in the regular season this year and then hit .366 in the postseason while helping the Giants win their third World Series in five years. With his everyman body type and colorful nickname — Kung Fu Panda — the switch hitter was a fan favorite in the Bay Area.

“He has been with us through some of the greatest moments in San Francisco Giants history — including all three World Series championships,” the Giants said in a statement. “We will never forget his World Series MVP performance in 2012 and his numerous contributions to the 2014 championship. His connection with Giants fans — young and old — is truly special, and he will be greatly missed.

We wish him nothing but the best in Boston.”

Ramirez came up in the Red Sox system and was still a prospect when he was traded to the Florida Marlins in the deal that brought Josh Beckett and future World Series MVP Mike Lowell to Boston. The 30-year-old

shortstop batted .300 with 13 homers and 71 RBIs for Los Angeles this year.

Boston already seems set at shortstop with 22-year-old Xander Bogaerts, and with Sandoval at third they are expected to move Ramirez to left field. He has never played outfield in the majors.

Unlike his first two seasons when there was little protection around him, Seager was no longer asked to be the anchor of Seattle’s batting order. Having Cano in the lineup led to Seager getting better pitches and more opportunities to drive in runs.

Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon also challenged Seager to be less of a pull hitter and use the entire field.

It didn’t start that way in 2014. Seager was mired in a significant slump for the first three weeks, turning his struggles around when he hit a winning, ninth-inning homer against Houston on April 23 that stopped Seattle’s eight-game losing streak. Seager was hitting .156 entering that game. Over

his next 73 games leading into the All-Star break, Seager hit .307 with 15 homers and 61 RBI. But even when he struggled at the plate, Seager continued to thrive in the field. He made just eight errors in 422 chances, and his .981 fielding percentage was the best among big league third basemen.

Seager was a second baseman for most of his collegiate career at North Carolina before making the transition to third base in the pros.

“This is one of the awards where you put a lot of hard work and effort in, and when you win it, you almost can’t believe it,” Seager said after winning the Gold Glove earlier this month.

Giants set record for World Series shares NEW YORK — A full postseason share for the World Series champion Giants was worth a record $388,606, topping the previous mark of $370,873 set by San Francisco two years ago.

San Francisco’s total was up from $307,323 for the Boston Red Sox last year. The players’ pool of $62 million was down from $62.7 million last year and a record $65.4 million in 2012.

The Giants split $22.3 million into 47 full shares, partial shares equivalent to another 9.65 and 17 cash awards, the commissioner’s office said Monday.

A full share on the AL champion Kansas City Royals was worth $230,700, up from $228,300 for St. Louis last year and down from $284,275 for 2012 AL champion Detroit.

Bills rout Jets in rescheduled game

By Noah Tristerap Associated Press

DETROIT — Kyle Orton threw two touchdown passes, Robert Woods pulled off a slick one-handed catch and Scott Chandler added a snow-themed celebration as the Buffalo Bills shook off a rough week and drubbed the New York Jets 38-3 on Monday night.

Heavy snow in the Buffalo area moved the game to Detroit, but there were plenty of Bills fans in attendance at Ford Field.

Buffalo (6-5) couldn’t even practice before arriving in Michigan on Friday, but it was the Jets (2-9) who looked out of sorts all night.

EvCC falls at home EVERETT — Northwest Indian College defeated Everett C.C. 71-61 Monday night at home in a non-league game. Kelsy Rasmussen had 19 points and Kali Long had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Trojans in the loss.

Glacier Peak guard Sadie Mensing (11) averaged 11.7 points as a junior last season.

Sadie Mensing | Sr. Guard | Glacier Peak Mensing led a balanced Glacier Peak offense that had three to five players score in double digits nearly every game last season.

“She’s a leader on the court, both verbally and by example,” Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hill said. “She’s a terrific teammate, she loves our team and would do anything for them. She is hard on herself and has high standards and goals while she is playing.”

Mensing, a first-team All-Wesco 3A selection who averaged 11.7 points per game last season, is committed to Central Washington University, Hill’s alma mater.

The senior has been on varsity since midway through her freshman season, when she was called up because of injuries. In a close game, she got a critical rebound, a steal and scored, prompting Hill to turn to his JV coach and say, “Sorry, but you just lost her.”

Players to watch

Mikayla Pivec | Jr. Forward | Lynnwood Since bursting onto the scene as a freshman, Pivec has provided a dominant inside presence for Lynnwood, which placed third at last year’s Class 4A state tournament.

The Royals, who find themselves in the 3A classification this season, will look to the 5-foot-10 Pivec again as they attempt to improve on the best finish in school history.

As a sophomore, Pivec was a first team All-Wesco choice after averaging 15 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals per game. She is being recruited by several schools, including Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, Seattle University and Nebraska.

“Mikayla is one of the most competitive kids I have ever coached,” Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards said. “She brings a level of effort, hustle and competitiveness that is rare in today’s student-athlete.

That being said, she is very supportive and encouraging of her teammates and is a role model for our younger players.”

player for us.”

Julia Heichel | Sr. Guard | Stanwood Heichel won’t be ready when the Spartans’ season opens — she is recovering from a hairline fracture of the upper tibia and was expected to be cleared to return to practice this week.

Spartans head coach Dennis Kloke is excited to get the 5-foot-8 guard back.

“What she brings to the team, in games and practice, is high energy and enthusiasm for the game and competition,” Kloke said. “She creates a pace that forces the other players to follow her example. As a coach, I really appreciate her high energy during practices because it makes my job of wanting a high-paced practice easier when players are led by example.”

Last year, Heichel averaged 11.5 points and shot 71 percent from the free-throw line. She is generating interest from colleges for both basketball and track and field.

“What doesn’t show up in stats is that teams have to prepare for her,” Kloke said.

“That can allow her teammates to have options open up for them.”

Mikayla Pivec (10) helped lead Lynnwood to a third-place finish at last season’s Class 4A state tournament.

Savanna Hanson | Sr. Guard | King’s

be looked to for leadership as much as for points and rebounds, Lake Stevens coach Randy Edens said.

“Her leadership has been important to helping our younger kids understand where the bar is for Lake Stevens Girls Basketball and the success we aspire to achieve on an annual basis,” Edens said in an e-mail.

Vandegrift averaged 10 points and nine rebounds per game as a junior and has signed to play next season at the University of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. As spectacular as she’s been in her Vikings’ career, Edens still thinks Vandegrift is primed for a breakout senior season.

“Emily has committed herself to improving so much so that when our season concluded back in February, she was relentless doing what she could to grow in several facets of her game,” Edens said. “... In fact, I feel she is one of our more improved players and that says a lot because she was already a good

Hanson is a two-year captain for King’s, which made it to the Class 1A state championship game last season. A 6-foot point guard, Hanson averaged 13 points, nine rebounds, two assists and four steals.

“She is an exemplary leader that uses her words and actions to inspire her teammates,” Knights’ head coach Dan Taylor said. “She is one of the hardest-working athletes I’ve ever coached because she puts in a large amount of time in the offseason to prepare for our season.”

Hanson, a first-team All-Cascade Conference selection last season, will play at Santa Clara University next season, where she will join former area stars Katie Hawkins (Glacier Peak), Sidney Rielly (Everett) and Beth Carlson (Archbishop Murphy).

“She is very versatile and has played every position for us,” Taylor said, “and has guarded every position as well.”

became great friends and continued to spend time together after the births of Madison and Madeline. The families remain close, as do the daughters who have developed a sisterly bond.

The two promise there are differences — besides hair color.

“We have very different personalities,” Smith said.

“Basically, we have the same kind of life — we both have brothers in the same grade and parents with similar personalities and ages. But other than basketball we are completely opposite. She’s blonde, I’m brunette.

Our music tastes are completely different. But it works.

It’s kind of like that opposites attract kind of thing. We could not be more polar opposite.

“Sometimes we do get on each other’s nerves. We spent last summer almost completely together because of basketball and at the end we were like, ‘We just need a little bit of a break and then we’ll be fine.’”

It’s not uncommon for Smith to be confused for Pollock, and vice versa.

“I get that a lot,” Pollock said. “A lot of people at school call me Madeline instead of Madison. I’m like, ‘Um, I’m Madison. Madeline is the other tall girl. Everyone calls Madeline ‘Maddy’ and I’m ‘Madison.’ I guess that’s the way to distinguish each other. But everybody still gets mixed up with names.”

One person who is happy to see both Madeline and Madison every day come November is Snohomish head coach Ken Roberts. He said both players bring their unique talents to the Panthers. Smith, who is talking to several colleges about playing at the next level, averaged 12 points and eight rebounds a game and the University of San Diego-bound Pollock averaged about 10 points per game as a point guard during their sophomore seasons.

“We’re going to be a really good team and they’re both going to have really good careers, not just here but at the next level,” Roberts said. “Maddy Smith is a great leader. She’s one of those kids that she’s really driven to succeed to do well. She does a great job in school. She does a great job on the volleyball team. She’s just competitive and likes to succeed.

“Madison has all the potential in the world,” the Snohomish coach continued. “She’s super athletic. Last year we had to play her out of position at the point guard. It really was tough on those kids. She’s got as much, or more potential, than about anyone in the league.”

Smith and Pollock aren’t the only familiar faces for Snohomish. The Panthers return a strong core of junior players — including Shaylee Harwood and Ellie Flitsch — that have played together with Smith and Pollock since seventh grade.

“The whole team has this really strong chemistry,” Pollock said. “We really mesh well together. The whole team has been playing together since seventh grade.”

A major addition to the Snohomish team this year is point guard Darian Rielly, who transferred to Snohomish from Everett. The senior, a first team all-league selection last season, provides the Panthers with a high-caliber player at a position where they had to rotate players into last season.

“I think the biggest thing with her is some experience at the point guard position, somebody who wants the ball in her hands,” Roberts said. “We had people who played point last year that didn’t really want that

Victoria and Calgary pull off blockbuster trade

By Nick Patterson Herald writer

It’s not often a big trade in the WHL features highprofile players going both directions.

Big trades in the WHL almost always feature present value being swapped for future value. Current stars are acquired by teams loading up for a playoff run, and in exchange those teams give up prospects or draft picks which could end up becoming stars in the future.

The Victoria Royals and Calgary Hitmen bucked that trend last week with a rare deal that saw signed NHL draft picks traded for one another.

when Victoria acquired high-powered 19-yearold forward Greg Chase from Calgary in a deal that sent hulking 19-yearold defenseman Keegan Kanzig to the Hitmen.

The full deal saw Chase go to Victoria along with a fifth-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft and an eighth rounder in 2016, while Kanzig went to Calgary along with a second rounder in 2016.

A deal of this type was made possible because Chase, who tied for the Calgary team lead in scoring last season with 85 points (35 goals, 50 assists) in 70 games, requested a trade and was sent home by the Hitmen.

Calgary, however, has a team it thinks can contend

this season. Therefore, the Hitmen weren’t going to settle for prospects or draft picks in return for Chase, who was a seventh-round pick by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2013 NHL draft.

They wanted a player who could help Calgary this season.

The Royals were able to accommodate that request. To pick up Chase and aid its offense, Victoria parted with a key part of its defense. The Royals have built a reputation as a big, tough, intimidating team, and the 6-foot-6, 242-pound Kanzig was the poster child for that reputation.

The trade also works out for Kanzig’s NHL team.

NHL draft by the Calgary Flames, who also happen to own and operate the Hitmen. Therefore, the Flames will now be able to keep a close eye on one of their top prospects.

And somehow both the Royals and the Hitmen found a way where both teams believe they’ve improved their teams for the now, rather than the later.

Around the WHL It was a busy week on the trade front in the WHL … Kamloops acquired 17-year-old forward Matthew Campese and a fifth-round pick in 2016 from Victoria for a third rounder in 2015. The Blazers then turned around a dealt 18-year-old forward Jesse Shynkaruk to Moose Jaw for a fourth rounder in 2017. …

Huskies’ head coach Petersen prepares for first Apple Cup

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — When Chris Petersen arrived at Boise State, he quickly learned the nature of the Broncos’ biggest rivalry game.

In Boise, they hate the University of Idaho.

“I remember when I first got there, like, ‘hey, if you only win one game, it’s got to be against Idaho,’” Petersen said at his weekly press conference on Monday. “I’m thinking, ‘so you’re good if we win one game?’

They’re like, ‘Well, maybe not, but if you win one, it better be that one.’”

Beating Idaho, of course, is a considerably lower bar than beating the Washington State Cougars, a Pac-12 outfit that hasn’t won very often this season, but tallies enough yards and points to make anyone nervous.

(And for the record, BSU beat Idaho every year from 1999-2010 — nine of those 12 victories coming by 31 points or more — and they haven’t played each other since.)

Predictably, Petersen said he’s excited to participate in his first Apple Cup, which will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday in Pullman (FOX Sports 1). But he’s not hyping it to his players as an end-all, be-all contest.

“The fans are the ones that are so intense about this,” Petersen said. “We’re intense about the game anyway. So to say, OK, now we’ve got to really play extra hard ... I mean, really? Harder than we wanted to play last week?

“But I do think they’re fun. I think they’re fun for the universities. I think they’re good for the fans and all those type of things, but sometimes I’ve got a little bit of a hard time saying, ‘OK, now we’ve got to really go.’”

Asked jokingly if he had anything derogatory to say about WSU ahead of his first Apple Cup, Petersen responded: “No, I do not. My first Apple Cup, I should probably just say nothing.”

Instead, he said a bunch of nice things about WSU coach Mike Leach, redshirt freshman quarterback Luke Falk and Cougars athletic director Bill Moos, with whom Petersen worked when he was the receivers coach at Oregon from 1995-2000.

On Leach, Petersen said, “I enjoy him. I really do. The little that I’ve been around him, I’ve really enjoyed talking to him and hearing what he has to say.”

He said he’s read part of one of his books — presumably ‘Swing Your Sword,’ Leach’s autobiography — and praised WSU’s pass-heavy offense, saying “they’re never going to be out of games, no matter what’s going on.”

Petersen also marveled at how Falk has debuted in place of injured starter Connor Halliday. Falk, a former walk-on from Logan, Utah, has thrown for 1,504 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions and completed 66.5 percent of his passes in 194 attempts.

Last week at Arizona State, Falk completed 45-of-74 passes for 601 yards and three touchdowns, though he also threw four interceptions and lost a fumble. “(Falk) looks like he’s been playing the whole season,” Petersen said. “One thing that Mike Leach knows is quarterbacks and how to throw the ball, so those kids he recruits over there know what they need to do to fit into the system.”

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who has been held out of practice until Friday in order to rest various ailments the past few weeks, is expected to play in Thursday night’s game against 49ers.

Lynch expected to play against 49ers

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — For three straight weeks, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been held out of practice until Friday in order to rest various ailments, most notably the balky back that has bothered him throughout his career.

That would seemingly be problematic for a team that has to play a Thursday night game this week. But Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says Lynch should be fine this week, even if he’s going to have to be ready to play a game on a day he hasn’t been practicing the last few weeks.

“We’re just going to go through the process and see how he does, see if he’s OK,” Carroll said.

“That’s how we do it. We take good care of him, and he’s really smart about how he handles it.

We’ll expect that he’ll be ready to go, and I know he won’t want to miss this thing and he’ll be ready to play.”

Lynch, who has a history with back problems, has been on the injury report with back, calf and rib injuries in the past few weeks.

But Carroll said this year isn’t much different than past seasons when Lynch has been held out of practice at times to minimize the wear and tear on his body.

“This is how he’s endured the season, basically,” Carroll said. “... He’s played great, he’s

just played great football, and he’s been able to respond every week. For any player, this is a challenge to get back Thursday.

This is a huge physical challenge for these guys to come back Thursday night.”

As Carroll notes, playing on Thursday is a challenge for nearly every player. In a typical NFL week, Monday and Tuesday are dedicated to treatment and recovery, and practice and game planning don’t start until Wednesday. This week, the Seahawks and 49ers are cramming film study, game planning and a week’s worth of practice, albeit less physical sessions than in a normal week, in to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

“I hate Thursday games in general,” said defensive end Cliff Avril, who is used to playing on Thanksgiving, having spent five seasons in Detroit. “When you’re young it doesn’t affect you as much because you bounce back quicker. But once you get older, you start to realize your body doesn’t start feeling good until Thursday. So playing on a Thursday, you’ve got to rush the process. But what can you do about it?”

Injury update With a short week, the Seahawks are fortunate to have come out of Sunday’s game relatively healthy.

Carroll said tight end Cooper Helfet was “the one guy who came out banged up,” spraining his ankle on the fourth-quarter catch that gave the Seahawks their final first down

before running out the clock. His status won’t be determined until late in the week.

Left guard James Carpenter, who has missed three games with an ankle injury, has a good chance to get back this week after he nearly was able to play in Sunday’s game.

“As close as you can get,” Carroll said of the decision on whether or not Carpenter would play against Arizona. “We labored over whether to go with him or not. ... He was really politicking to get out there and play.

But we just thought if he did, with a short week coming up, we wouldn’t get him to respond. He was that close and still would have results from this game, so we decided to hold him out and give him the best chance to be ready for this game and the ones after that.”

Cornerback Marcus Burley, “has a chance to get back,” after missing Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury, Carroll said.

The news is less encouraging for rookie linebacker Kevin PierreLouis, who hurt his shoulder against Kansas City, and might be headed to injured reserve. While Carroll wouldn’t confirm that Pierre-Louis is out for the year, his comment of, “He’s banged up pretty good ... He won’t be able to make it this week, and more news to come,” certainly indicates that a roster move could happen soon.

The status of defensive end Demarcus Dobbs, who missed Sunday’s game with a knee injury, won’t be known until late in the week, Carroll said.

Pass pro woes With Carpenter and center Max Unger out, and facing a very good defense, the Seahawks pass protection was a bit of a mess, with Russell Wilson taking a season-high seven sacks. As you might suspect, Car-

Shead “seized the moment” DeShawn Shead was supposed to be blocking, not rushing on the play that resulted in him blocking a punt Sunday, but he took it upon himself to go off script when he realized the Cardinals were missing a player on their punt team. A day later, Carroll said he wants players to be willing to make such decisions when chances come up.

“When the opportunity presents itself, we want everybody in every position we have to go for it,” Carroll said. “I think that was a great illustration of that. His assignment told him otherwise. He saw the block for the return — he seized the moment, and captured it and took advantage of a great opportunity and took advantage of it perfectly.

Chiefs say Berry may have lymphoma Carroll Associatred Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs safety Eric Berry is gearing up for a fight after a mass was found in his chest following last week’s game in Oakland. He was placed on the non-football injury list Monday, and trainer Rick Burkholder said Berry may have lymphoma.

Burkholder said doctors are “75 percent” of the way toward a definitive diagnosis, and that Berry was on his way to Atlanta to be examined by specialists at Emory University.

“They may do further scans.

In all likelihood, they’ll do a biopsy of one of the lymph

nodes or the mass,” Burkholder said. “We’ll be able to give you more information in the next couple days.”

Burkholder spoke during a somber news conference attended by Chiefs coach Andy Reid, general manager John Dorsey, team president Mark Donovan and chairman Clark Hunt. Berry issued a statement in which he said he was “in shock” but promised to battle the illness.

“I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent,” he said. “I have great confidence in the doctors and the plan they are going to put in place for me to win this fight. I believe that I am in God’s hands and I have

great peace in that.”

The 25-year-old Berry, an All-Pro in 2013, began feeling discomfort during Thursday night’s loss in Oakland. He was examined by team physicians Cris Barnthouse and Michael Monaco, and they recommended further tests. The mass on the right side of his chest was discovered Friday night.

Berry underwent more tests, including a CT scan and blood work, over the weekend. He met with the team on Monday morning, shortly before flying to Atlanta for a consultation with Dr. Christopher Flowers, an associate professor at Emory and a leading expert in lymphoma.

Kikaha named Butkus finalist Hau’oli Kikaha, the Huskies’ fifthyear senior outside linebacker, was named one of five finalists for the Butkus Award on Monday. Named after legendary Chicago Bears linebacker Dick Butkus, the award seeks to honor the best linebacker in college football each season.

Kikaha is tied for the national lead in sacks with 17.5 and leads the nation in tackles for loss with 23.5. Both of those marks are UW single-season records, and Kikaha also owns the UW career sacks record.

Last week, he was named a finalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award and the Polynesian Player of the Year award.

roll said a lot of different things went wrong for his team to give up seven sacks.

“Oh gosh, this was a different game,” he said. “We got sacked seven times in this game, we had all kinds of problems. We got beat one-onone, we had some scheme issues, we held the ball too long — to have that kind of onslaught, it took a lot of stuff. (Arizona) is a really, really difficult defense and they play good football. They caused a lot of problems, but they didn’t break us. ... We found a way to move the ball.”

Carroll wouldn’t say if Patrick Lewis will remain the starter at center or if Lemuel Jeanpierre, who resigned last week, would take over the job.

“We’ll find out. We’ll let these guys battle again this week,” Carroll said.

Browns’ Manziel involved in hotel scuffle Associated Press CLEVELAND — A Browns fan who says he wanted to give Johnny Manziel “a hug” was struck by the rookie quarterback’s entourage at a downtown hotel and was left with a swollen eye and lip, police said.

Police were called to The Metropolitan at The 9, where Manziel has a luxury apartment, after a fight broke out at 2:25 a.m. Saturday.

According to a police

report, Chris Gonos told police he was assaulted by “Johnny Football and his entourage.” The 33-year-old fan said he and his girlfriend approached Manziel while waiting for an elevator and he told the popular first-round draft pick: “I’m the biggest Browns fan ever. I love you. I want to give you a hug.”

Gonos said he took one step toward Manziel and was punched by a man listed on the report as Dana Kirk. Gonos contends he

was struck several times in the face and “pushed and attacked” by a group of unidentified men who were with Manziel. Kirk said Gonos tried to assault Manziel, and he defended the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.

Gonos sustained a swollen lip and right eye, the report said. No arrests were made.

The report also said the hotel manager said cameras located near the elevators may have captured video of the dispute.

playing Seattle, by far the lowest number in the league. Seattle’s net penalty count of minus-40 is the worst in the league, with Denver second in that category at minus-33 and New England third at minus-27.

“There is quite a gap,” Carroll said when that was brought up. “Yeah, there is quite a gap between what they’re calling on one team. ... Really glad you brought it up.”

When the Seahawks were the most penalized team in the league, as was the case last year, they have less to complain about, some marginal calls notwithstanding. In fact Seattle’s opponents were called for the second most penalties in 2013, meaning the imbalance in penalties (minus-34) was mostly of the Seahawks’ own doing.

But what is bothering Carroll this year, and something he noticed back when he was at USC, is that the numbers seem to suggest that better teams get fewer calls that benefit them. It’s an idea that is backed up by the fact that the defending Super Bowl champs, the Broncos, Seattle’s Super Bowl opponent, and the Patriots, another AFC powerhouse, are facing the biggest penalty imbalances this season.

“Huh, it’s interesting you’d bring that up,” Carroll said, feigning ignorance of that imbalance. “I think it’s interesting, it’s fascinating. When we won the national championship the first time (at USC), the next year, our opponents were penalized the least. For the next few years. That’s all I’m going to say about that.”

away that this where I wanted to be. Everything was like a perfect fit.”

During Rielly’s junior year at Everett, “the (Santa Clara) coaches were recruiting me pretty hard, so I wanted to come down and check it out,” she said. “I’d always thought I wanted to go to a bigger school, but when I got to Santa Clara ... I really liked the fact that I could walk around and see people I know, even though you’re always meeting new people, too. And the small class sizes were really important to me. All my professors

know my name.”

“It’s a very open and friendly (campus) community,” Carlson added.

“It’s kind of like a family.

I know that sounds like a cliche, but it’s true.”

Of course, Santa Clara is also close to San Francisco, so not everyone is pro-Seattle. Last January, after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game, Hawkins boldly wore the jersey of Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman on campus.

“I got food thrown at me in the cafeteria,” Hawkins said. “It was like a piece of an orange.”

Such occasional indignities aside, all three are

delighted with their college choice. The school feels right and the basketball is also going well.

Carlson is a starter with Hawkins and Rielly playing from the bench, but all three are averaging around 15 minutes a game.

“Sidney is a great shooter,” Payne said. “She has the ultimate green light, and if she’s on balance and has the ball in her hands ... we expect her to shoot it. We need Beth to be able to score inside as well as give us great rebounding on both ends of the court. And Katie is a real versatile player who can play (both guard and both forward positions).

“We’re very, very young,” she added. “Most

of our roster hasn’t played much in collegiate games, so it’s going to take a while to find our rhythm. But I love our scrappiness, our desire and the way we play. We play extremely hard.”

Payne has her own roots in the Pacific Northwest. She was raised in Vancouver, B.C., and was previously an assistant coach at Gonzaga and Boise State.

For that reason, plus the region’s abundance of talent, “we’re going to continue to recruit that area,” Payne said. “There are high school and club coaches that are doing a great job there, so it makes sense for us to continue to try to find those kids if we can.”

In horse-racing terms, the Seattle Sounders were willing to lay off the pace in the first leg of their Western Conference championship series, as long as they didn’t drift so far back that they couldn’t make up the distance by the finish line.

After their 1-0 loss at Los Angeles on Sunday, the Sounders spoke confidently about being well-positioned for the second leg. But they also understand there’s a lot of ground to make up, especially in a series that uses road goals as a tie-breaker.

“Obviously we would have preferred a tie or a win, but only losing 1-0, we don’t feel horrible about that.” coach Sigi Schmid said after the opener in California. “Overall I was pleased with what we did out there.”

However, the day before the match, a 1-0 loss appeared pretty far down Schmid’s list of preferred results.

“The attitude is to come out of Game 1 being in position to win it in Game 2,” he said Saturday. “So that means if you win the game in Game 1, you’re in great position in Game 2.

If you tie the game, you’re also in good position. If you

lose the game and you get an away goal, you’re in better position than if you lose the game 1-0. But the main thing is to come out of Game 1 in a position to win it in Game 2, because every time we’ve had Game 2 at home, we’ve done well.”

The Sounders have played the second leg of an MLS playoff series at home twice, and they have won the match both times: 2-0 over Real Salt Lake in 2011, and 2-1 over the Galaxy in 2012. They also won the home second leg of their 2013 CONCACAF Champions League series against Tigres UANL, 3-1.

However, that CCL win was the only one that put Seattle through to the next round, overcoming a 1-0 road loss in the opener.

In the MLS series, Seattle had opened with 3-0 losses against both RSL and L.A., more than their home wins could overcome.

The 1-0 road loss at L.A. is better than those 3-0 losses, but it is complicated

by MLS’s shift to the roadgoals tie-breaker. That sets up a second leg Sunday in CenturyLink Field in which L.A. advances with a win or a draw or even a one-goal loss by any score other than 1-0. A Sounders 1-0 win would send the match to added time and penalty kicks if needed.

Otherwise, Seattle needs to win by at least two goals to advance.

A road goal in the opener would have brightened the picture considerably, and the Sounders’ 10 shots produced chances. However, their dangerously timed offense slump continues, as the Sounders have managed one goal over three playoff games, and none over the last 215 minutes.
