Firefighter accused before David Peter Vier, arrested in an underage-sex sting, was investigated for stalking, domestic violence and burglaries.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — An Everett firefighter and paramedic quietly retired last week, less than a

month after his arrest in an underage-sex sting.

The arrest wasn’t the first time that David Peter “Pete” Vier, 60, had been accused of misconduct.

Or the second time. Or the third.

In 2012, he allegedly admitted to his fire chief and an assistant fire chief that he’d secretly put a GPS tracker on his ex-girlfriend’s car. The woman’s family had become suspicious when Vier reportedly kept showing up in places she went, including a

hiking trip, a coffee shop and a pharmacy parking lot.

It was especially odd because, at the time, Vier lived in Coupeville and worked in Everett.

His bosses had warned him to stay out of Edmonds, where See ACCUSED, back page, this section

Cliff close to claiming house A Snohomish couple is trying to raise $150,000 to save their home

SNOHOMISH — Teresa Shaw can only watch as a crumbling cliff inches closer and closer to her home.

Shaw, 45, and her husband, Lance, 39, both corrections officers at the Monroe Correctional Complex, are trying to raise $150,000 to save their house from falling more than 200 feet into the Pilchuck River.

The Shaws bought their

geodesic-dome-shaped house on 27th Street SE in 2011. It wasn’t until about a year later that the couple noticed their back yard was disappearing into the river.

Their home is now less than 100 feet from the eroding cliff above the river and Machias.

“It’s horrible. We felt more droppage last night,” Shaw said in an interview Monday. “The house shakes and rumbles. It’s terrifying.”

The garage is mostly for storage. Their house, however, could soon be tagged, too. If that happens, county officials would decide whether the couple can still sleep there.

Teresa Shaw, of Snohomish, stands back from the edge of the cliff in her back yard that drops about 250 feet to the Pilchuck River and a Machias neighborhood below. The bank is sloughing off, and the family home, just 54 feet from the bank now, is doomed if it is not moved farther back or if the failing bluff cannot be shored up.

MARYSVILLE — She asked the emergency dispatcher if a police officer was going to find them.

The girl and 17 others were crammed inside what she described as an abandoned closet in an art room at Marysville Pilchuck High School on Oct. 24.

A freshman had opened fire inside a cafeteria. His actions ended the lives of five young people, including his own. A sixth, who was shot in the jaw, survived.

The last of the calls to 911 from that morning were released Tuesday by SNOPAC, the dispatch center that serves much of Snohomish County.

The shootings remain under investigation by the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team, a special task force of homicide detectives typically assigned to investigate police-involved shootings. The investigation is expected to take months.

The girl hiding in the closet gave the dispatcher her phone number. A police officer would call her. Pick up the phone, the dispatcher said.

The girl’s voice trembled as she said goodbye.

Other students told dispatchers they were in the cafeteria when the gunfire broke out.

“There is what at the high school?” a dispatcher asked a boy.

“Gunshots, in the cafeteria,” he said.

“Anyone injured?”

“Yeah, this kid, he shot a couple of kids, I’m pretty sure,” the boy answered.

Did he see where the students were shot?

“No. I saw kids just drop to the ground, at the cafeteria table.”

Another boy, hiding in a classroom with eight other students, said he ran out of the lunch room.

He told the dispatcher that Jaylen Fryberg, a freshman, was the shooter. He had a black handgun, the boy said.

CORRECTION In Tuesday’s A3 story about Gov.

Both numbers should have been half a billion dollars.

House: No other properties in area tagged From Page A1

The couple have a dog, three cats, six turkeys and 16 chickens on the picturesque property. Shaw said she and her husband had no idea of the risk when they bought their first home.

“We never in a million years thought we could afford a dream home like this,” she said. “It didn’t occur to us that something like this could happen.”

The Machias Ridge Estates Homeowners Association is now looking into the problem, she said.

Neighbors living below the cliff on Pilchuck Way are also worried.

But, Braaten said, the county has not tagged any other properties in the area. He does not believe people living below the cliff are in imminent danger.

The geologic study for the Shaws’ place, which was completed by a Bothell firm in March, concluded that the slope would continue to retreat at about 10 feet a year, endangering the house. It recommended moving the house at least 400 feet away from the cliff.

Shaw has an estimate from an Everett construction company that put the cost of moving the house and garage at more than $116,000, not including permitting fees and a septic system.

The Shaws have set up a GoFundMe campaign to try save their place because their insurance does not cover erosion. So far, they’ve raised more than $11,000.

“When Oso happened, all I could feel is so sorry for the people involved and so scared it could happen to us too,” said Shaw, a Navy veteran.

However, the geologists reported that a

The Shaws are not alone in facing home-threatening erosion. In Snohomish County, an estimated 30,000 people live in landslide

Small, slow-moving landslides are not uncommon with the Northwest’s mix of frequent rain and steep slopes. Slides can cover property with debris and block roads and rails.

Houses have been swallowed by area rivers.

A neighborhood near Index has been struggling with a slow-moving slide, which for months prevented residents from driving to their homes.

Like the Shaws, two families living above the South Fork Stillaguamish River near Arlington also have watched their property crumble.

Braaten said he checked on Keith and Juanita Eanes, as well as Phillip and Susan Burk, on Monday. Both

couples have moved their homes farther from an eroding cliff and are not in danger for now. However, the bank is still crumbling.

Meanwhile, the Shaws are exploring an alternative to moving their house.

They hired an Arlington engineer who is working on a plan that could help stabilize the cliff. Shaw said she doesn’t have a cost estimate for that, but the engineer is working on a proposal to present to the county.

“I love the idea of being able to help everybody in the neighborhood, not just us,” Shaw said. “We love it here. That’s why we’re fighting so hard to save it.”

Inslee proposes $12B transportation plan Associated Press MEDINA — Overlooking the Highway 520 floating bridge project, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday unveiled a proposal he said would address the state’s most pressing transportation needs — fixing bridges and roads and boosting the ferry system while cleaning the air and water.

Inslee hopes to fund the $12 billion plan with bonds, fees and a carbon charge on the state’s industrial polluters. The marketbased carbon pollution charge will generate $7 billion over 12 years, he said. The fee will generate the equivalent of a 12-cent gas tax without hurting consumers, he said.

“Transportation pollution

paying for transportation solutions,” Inslee said. “It’s not our children’s lungs that should be burned. It should be polluters’.

“It’s a pretty elegant solution for the state of Washington.”

The governor’s transportation plan includes $81.8 million for highway projects in Everett and other areas of Snohomish County.

The state will face a 52 percent

drop in its maintenance budget, and 71 bridges will become structurally deficient, if the Legislature is not able to pass a transportation budget in the 2015 session, he said.

What’s needed to resolve this barrier is a vision that transcends old divides and recognizes “there are no Democratic or Republican bridges,” Inslee said. “They all

need to be safe.”

He hopes to connect all of Washington through a “bipartisan spirit” that aims to “reduce the hours we spend on the roads away from our families.”

His “Let’s Move Forward” plan includes 50,000 construction jobs that will ensure projects are See PLAN, Page A4

Budget’s big goal: Avoid a shutdown

winter doesn’t arrive until Sunday. There’s still time, skiers.

Kirby Cook, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle, reminded me not to have high hopes for a white Christmas in Everett. We’re in an El Nino year, Cook said Tuesday.

Although we’re in the heart of what he calls our “cold air season,” El Nino is unlikely to bring us historic blizzards this winter.

Explaining the phenomenon, Cook said that ocean waters normally warmer in the western Pacific toward Australia are, during an El Nino pattern, warmer in the eastern Pacific near South America. That changes the jet stream north of the equator.

“Here in the Pacific Northwest it tends to be a little warmer and drier than normal,” he said.

El Nino can also mean the wet winter weather we’re used to hits California instead.

EVERETT — Snohomish County lawmakers are preparing to mull a series of compromises Wednesday to avoid a crisis.

Failing to act could earn the county a dubious distinction as the first in Washington to suffer a government shutdown because elected leaders couldn’t agree on a budget.

“It’s absolutely essential that we pass a budget tomorrow,” Council chairman Dave Somers said Tuesday. “If we go beyond that, it’s going to be a nightmare.”

A majority of the County Council, Somers said, appears ready to raise property taxes to pay for services that Executive John Lovick said are necessary in his Dec. 10 veto letter. The veto nullified a spending plan for 2015 that the council passed on a 3-2 vote.

To make the new budget stick, at least four of the five councilmembers must agree. The discussion — and a possible vote — is scheduled during the council’s regular meeting at 9 a.m.

Wednesday. That’s the last day the council can raise property taxes in time to appear on next year’s tax rolls.

The deadline to pass the entire budget is Dec. 31. If that doesn’t happen, the county stands to lose its statutory authority to carry out anything but mandatory and essential functions under state law.

Sheriff’s deputies would still respond to 911 calls, but many other county functions would cease.

Document recording functions at the county Auditor’s Office would likely continue — but at a much slower pace. That would be a huge blow to the real estate industry, threatening home sales

For three weeks, it snowed and snowed, blanketing the ground through the end of that year.

The blizzard that hit Washington Territory on Dec. 17, 1871, came 18 years before statehood but a decade after the territorial Legislature created Snohomish County. It happened 30 years before The Everett Daily Herald began publishing in 1901. There is a record of it, though.

An essay about the 1871 snowstorm, by Greg Lange, was published in 1999 by HistoryLink.org, an online encyclopedia of Washington history. It cites Puget Sound Dispatch and The Weekly Intelligencer, a precursor to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

During that three-week period starting 143 years ago today, there were at least three “disagreeable visitations” of

O’Donnell and Lawrence O’Donnell, has a section on the snow that began Jan. 31, 1916, and continued for three days.

“Officially more than 30 inches fell in Everett in one 36-hour period,” the book says.

“Snow depth was reported to be 42 inches in Snohomish and 48 inches in Marysville.” In 1916, it was the Stillaguamish River that froze.

By Feb. 2, 1916, 23 Shetland ponies were killed when heavy snow caused a barn to collapse in Everett, according to HistoryLink. In Seattle that day, snow destroyed the dome of St. James Cathedral.

This week, it’s a far different — and warmer — story. The Northwest Avalanche Center reported, in an Associated Press article Monday, that snow totals are way below normal. The ski area at Mount Baker, with just 6 inches of snow, had only 9 percent of its normal midDecember amount. Oh, but

MARYSVILLE — It is a tradition meant to remember lives taken by violence and to hold each other up in grief.

As part of its nearly 40-year history Victim Support Services regularly has organized a candlelight ceremony in December for survivors to honor their

loved ones.

“We know people out there may have a difficult time during the holidays. We want to provide them a space to come together in a meaningful way,” said Nancy Hawley, the nonprofit’s director of victim services.

Edmonds hospital. He is expected to be booked for violation of a protection order, residential burglary and malicious mischief.

Bid to overturn fireworks ban coming up short

LYNNWOOD — No one was struck by bullets fired during a domesticviolence incident east of Lynnwood on Tuesday afternoon.

One man, 26, of Lynnwood, was hospitalized for injuries from breaking out a window, said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman for the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident was reported shortly after 1 p.m. at a house along Locust Way near Filbert Road.

The 26-year-old suspect used to live at the home and another man who still lives there had a protection order against him, Ireton said.

The suspect reportedly threw a rock through the windshield of a truck parked outside and broke a house window. A third man at the home fired a gun outside the window.

The relationship between the trio was not immediately clear.

The suspect was taken to Swedish/

A petition to overturn a fireworks ban in Lynnwood appears to be failing. The Snohomish County elections office expects to wrap up signature verification on the petition this week, manager Garth Fell said Tuesday.

Of the signatures counted so far, only about 47 percent of the 4,740 submitted signatures are valid, Fell said. A higher average is needed to meet legal standards requiring the city to act.

If the petition doesn’t have enough valid signatures, the county will notify the city, Fell said. What happens next would be up to Lynnwood officials.

The petition has been organized

by Lynnwood Citizens for Fireworks and Freedom, led by former city

councilman Ted Hikel.

If the petition is found to meet legal requirements, the city will have to adopt it or put it to a public vote in 2015. The ban was approved in 2014 but goes into effect in 2015. Fireworks previously were allowed in Lynnwood during certain hours on July 4.

Everett: Boy accidentally shoots himself in leg A 14-year-old boy apparently shot himself in the leg accidentally Tuesday morning in his home in the 12400 block of Admiralty Way. A friend who witnessed the incident called 911 around 9:15 a.m.

The boy had skipped school at Voyager Middle School and was planning to go target shooting with friends, he told Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies. The firearm is believed to be owned by one of his parents.

The boy was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center, reportedly in serious condition.

to panic. This does not represent an increased risk to people,” said Dr. Kristin Mansfield, a veterinarian with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “There’s very little to no risk of these viruses affecting people.”

The state’s two confirmed cases are a captive falcon with the H5N8 strain of avian flu, and a wild duck with the H5N2 strain, said Hector Castro, a spokesman for the state

Department of Agriculture.

The falcon had been fed wild birds killed by hunters.

Castro said that after the Canadian outbreak, the state stepped up random testing in domestic poultry flocks near the border and put out information to other bird owners. The falcon was diagnosed after its owner took it to a veterinarian, who then reported its death to the state. A USDA lab in Iowa confirmed the virus over the weekend.

of $244,000.

A little over half of the money from the tax increase could be used to blunt the effect of budget cuts at the sheriff’s office and the jail in the council budget that Lovick vetoed.

Alternatively, $450,000 of the tax increase could restore funding for a program that the Snohomish Health District runs for mothers and newborns.

The council budget cut funding for the First Steps program to $450,000 from $900,000.

The health district already voted to maintain First Steps through 2015 by dipping into budget reserves.

The compromise also could restore the deputy director job at the Medical Examiner’s Office. A council majority cut it abruptly at the end of the year, leaving the county

morgue essentially leaderless. Lovick said the move would cripple the office.

Somers’ proposal also would restore a finance analyst position the council cut from the budget. It would fully fund the salary for the county’s economic development director, whose pay the council cut by $28,000.

“I’m going to ask the other council members to support this,” Somers said. “There are things in it I don’t like, but that’s the nature of a compromise.”

A majority of the council appears ready to stand firm on another point of contention: rolling back raises for six top managers in Lovick’s administration. They are the deputy executive, human resources director, parks director, the facilities director and two top finance managers. Some

council members contend the executive’s office failed to follow county code in approving the pay increases. Lovick says they’re wrong.

A majority of the council also looks prepared to stand firm on their demand that the county use money from specific property-tax increases for their stated purpose — paying off bonds for a future $162 million courthouse. They’re worried about the project staying on budget. The money amounts to a little over $4 million per year.

Lovick, in his budget, proposed using that tax money for other needs, reasoning that bonds for the future courthouse wouldn’t come due until 2016.

information about the 1871 blizzards. For rivers to freeze, “it would have to be cold a very long period of time,” he said.

And for that to happen — or for a long stretch of extreme summer heat — there must be an easterly flow. “In Western Washington, it’s really hard for us to be cold a long time, or hot for a long time.

Usually after a day or two, we return to our normal on-shore westerly flow of warmer air from the Pacific,” Cook said.

He also said that even as we see signs of climate change and global warming, there can be lots of

completed and traffic congestion reduced.

High on his wish list will be the completion of the Highway 520 bridge — “the longest floating bridge in the world” — at a cost of $1.4 billion.

Inslee also wants to spend $1.3 billion on I-405 between Bellevue and Renton and $2 million for work on state Highways 509 and 167, he said.

Inslee hopes to improve the water-commuter experience by funding a fourth ferry, freezing ferry rate increases for two years and improving ferry reliability.

He wants to see the ferries contribute to his clean-air vision by moving from diesel to cleaner natural gas, he said.

Inslee’s plan also includes money to complete the new Mukilteo ferry terminal and to improve dispatch services to avoid missed sailings due to crew shortage.

Other parts of the plan of interest to Snohomish County: $45.4 million for a new interchange on Highway 526 at Hardeson Road in Everett, to improve access to the area for aerospace suppliers. $34.4 million to add a shoulder lane on northbound I-5 from Marine View Drive in Everett to Highway 528 in Marysville. $36 million for advanced LiDAR imagery,

statewide mapping and creation of a hazard identification institute to detect areas of potentially lethal landslides.

Authority for Sound Transit to seek voterapproved funding for expanding light-rail service from Seattle to Everett and from Sea-Tac Airport to Tacoma.

Authority for Community Transit to seek a voter-approved hike in the sales tax for service improvements.

Inslee also wants more funding for projects that will improve safety on the road, including adding rumble stripes, guardrails, improved signals and money for the Washington State Patrol.

The governor says more than half the state dollars will go toward new construction and economic development. A quarter will be aimed at maintenance, operations and preservation, and 20 percent goes to clean transportation and public transportation.

Key to making all of these visions work is accountability, he said.

The state will track projects to make sure they are completed on time and on budget, he said.

All of this can be done with “a new and bold idea that will breathe new life” into the state — the polluter’s fee, he said.

“We can clean our air and water at the same time we are fixing our air and our roads,” he said. “It is indeed a two-for.”

variability. That includes harsh winters in many places. “It’s a very complex system,” Cook said.

I was in Spokane over Thanksgiving weekend and drove my sons past the pond at Manito Park.

They hardly believe stories I share from my childhood, which sound like Christmas-card fantasies. I really did walk a mile from home on many winter afternoons to skate on that frozen pond.

Those were the 1960s, not the 1870s. There’s no going back in time, so maybe I’ll head east this winter.

SEATTLE — Agriculture officials said Tuesday they’ve found avian influenza in wild birds in Washington, but there’s no immediate public health concern.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said separate strains of the H5 virus were identified in a northern pintail duck and a gyrfalcon.

Both viruses have been found in other parts of the

world and have not caused any human infection to date, the USDA said. Neither virus has been found in commercial poultry in the U.S. An avian influenza outbreak this month in southwest British Columbia spread to several poultry farms, and 155,000 birds have died of the virus or will be euthanized, Canadian officials said last week.

Panel: UW should expand med programs in Spokane

By Nicholas K. Geranois

students per class in Spokane as soon as possible.

Washington State University wants to open a new medical school in Spokane.

The University of Washington wants to dramatically expand its existing medical education programs in the state’s second-largest city.

Both proposals are competing for money in the Legislature.

Meanwhile, a Spokane newspaper reported Tuesday that Gov. Jay Inslee will not include money for either proposal in his upcoming budget request.

University of Washington President Michael K. Young praised the advisory report,

Associated Press

SPOKANE — An advisory panel created by the University of Washington concluded Tuesday that the Seattle-based school should expand its medical education programs in Spokane to help meet the state’s need for more physicians.

The 11-member advisory council, chaired by former Gov. Dan Evans, released five unanimous recommendations.

They include that the UW School of Medicine should proceed with planned expansion to 120 medical

produced by a panel that included people aligned with both the University of Washington and Washington State University.

“They have provided a road map for where we need to get to and a number of specific recommendations for improving a program that has been the main driver in the UW’s ranking as the best primary care and rural medicine program in the nation,” Young said. “The entire state will benefit from their work.”

The University of Washington is funded to accept 120 in-state medical students a year, while

hundreds more leave Washington to attend medical school in other states.

The panel also recommended that the: UW School of Medicine aggressively expand in additional communities.

The council specifically noted the Tri-Cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco, where expanded residencies and medical education are seen as key priorities.

UW provide a specific plan for research and commercialization activities in conjunction with its medical education program in Spokane.

UW include residency expansion, specifically in rural and underserved areas.

Additional administrative support and resources for the WWAMI program as it continues to grow.

WWAMI is the program by which the UW trains doctors for the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho.

Young convened the panel to assess the health care and economic needs of both the Spokane community and the state, and recommend how WWAMI could best meet those needs.

The council was not asked to determine if a separately accredited medical school is necessary or should be pursued by WSU. The Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday that Inslee is undecided on how medical school education should expand in Spokane. “At this point we’re not saying yes or no to the medical school in Spokane,” Budget Director David Schumacher told the newspaper.

The WSU proposal would require a change in policy, and both plans would require several million dollars in new money.

Bacterial infection killed orca GAO: Hanford waste storage tanks continue to deteriorate

By Phuong Le Associated Press

Associated Press SPOKANE — Underground nuclear waste storage tanks on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation continue to deteriorate, raising questions about how the wastes will be managed in the future, according to a report released Tuesday by the Government Accountability Office.

Hanford contains 177 nuclear waste tanks, some of which have leaked. The nation’s largest collection of radioactive waste is left over from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons.

The GAO report said that both the older singlewalled tanks and newer double-walled tanks are deteriorating. Some of the tanks date to the 1940s and have long passed their designed lifespan.

The Energy Department agreed with the report and its recommendations.

But U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who requested the report, said the DOE was moving too slowly on the work.

“Agreeing to recommendations is one thing, implementing them is another thing entirely,”’

Biologists examine a dead orca at Bates Beach near Comox, British Columbia, on Dec. 6. The orca died after a failed pregnancy caused a bacterial infection, officials said Tuesday.

determine whether that was the case over the long term.

Tissue samples from the necropsy will be sent to eight different laboratories across the two countries to help assess threats to the orca population. A final report is expected in the spring.

Those tests will look at the orca’s blubber, stomach contents, organs and genetics, as well as analyze pathogens or diseases.

Scientists want to know why the calf died, why it wasn’t aborted and why the infection set in, among other questions, said Brad Hanson, a wildlife biologist with the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration who participated in the necropsy. “We not only lost her, but her reproductive potential,” he said.

Orcas typically produce about four to six calves between 15 and 40, but this whale had not produced a calf that survived. About half of calves die. The death leaves 77 animals in the Puget Sound orca population. There hasn’t been a successful birth in the population for 2 ½ years, according to Ken Balcomb, a scientist with the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor who assisted in the necropsy.

are subject to the same corrosion problems.

The Energy Department has conducted additional tank inspections and increased the frequency of monitoring single-walled tank waste levels from annually to monthly. The agency has also improved its monitoring methods.

The report said the Energy Department has also made changes in its monitoring of doublewalled tanks, such as increasing the frequency of inspections.

But “DOE’s current schedule for managing the tank waste does not consider the worsening conditions of the tanks,” the GAO report said.

The current schedule also does not consider the delays in building a $13 billion plant to turn the tank wastes into glass-like logs for eventual burial.

Construction of the Waste Treatment Plant at Hanford has been halted by design and safety concerns.

“Future leaks and intrusions, which become more likely as the tanks’ condition worsens, would place additional demands on the already limited DST (double-shell tank) storage space, and it is unclear how DOE would respond,” the GAO report said.

Wyden said. “I’m asking for a schedule and a plan of action within 90 days.”

“The tanks at Hanford ... are in deteriorating condition and the schedule for addressing the problem is slipping inexorably into the future,” Wyden said.

The underground tanks contain about 56 million gallons of deadly nuclear waste, and cost the federal government about $1 billion a year.

The 149 older singlewalled tanks have been largely pumped of their liquid wastes, which have been transferred into the newer 28 double-walled tanks, the GAO report said.

The Energy Department has found that water is leaking into at least 14 of the single-walled tanks.

One of those tanks was found to be leaking into the ground since about 2010, at the rate pf 640 gallons per year, the report said.

In 2012, the Energy Department also found that a double-walled tank known as AY-102 was leaking from its inner wall into the outer wall. The Energy Department decided that was likely because of construction flaws and corrosion in the bottom of the tank. But the agency has not determined if the other double-walled tanks

SEATTLE — An endangered orca found dead off Vancouver Island earlier this month died after a failed pregnancy caused a bacterial infection, officials said Tuesday.

Preliminary necropsy results show the 19-yearold killer whale known as J-32 was pregnant with a nearly full-term female calf that died, Fisheries and Oceans Canada said.

“The calf had been dead for a while, but it’s hard to know for how long,” said Paul Cottrell, Pacific marine mammals coordinator for the agency.

“There were significant issues with the pregnancy and complications.”

The orca was a member of the southern resident killer whale population that spends time in the inland waters of Washington state and Canada. They are an endangered species in Canadian and the U.S. Cottrell said the animal “in the short term was not feeding because of the issues around the pregnancy,” but it’s harder to

Chris Freeman's biggest love is taxes

love affair with tax law? Yep. While the rest of us cower at the mention of tax codes and withholding allowance certificates and B&O taxes and itemized deductions and the other gazillion or so fear factors founded by the Internal Revenue Service, Chris Freeman dons her dauntless smile, squares her shoulders and tackles the paperwork like the born athlete she is.

Wait. Change that last part.

Like the born certified public accountant she is.

And that dreaded April 15 income tax deadline?

She circles that date on her calendar and draws a heart next to it.

Why? Because numbers make her happy. And her skills with tax law make her clients happy.

After all, ignorance is bliss until the IRS comes knocking.

For more than 25 years, Freeman has helped individuals and businesses in the Everett area with individual income tax returns, corporate income tax returns, state and local business taxes and tax planning.

“Individuals can benefit from my professional tax preparation services by discussing their long-term

R DO RTS PO RE

financial goals and current challenges and how they might be able to mitigate or defer any tax liabilities,” she said.

While tax law is her biggest love, Freeman knows her master’s degree in accountancy complements her tax practice in many ways; thus, estate and trust tax preparation, retirement planning and financial analysis are also in her wheelhouse.

Small businesses — considered as those with less than $10 million in assets by the IRS — can benefit from a number of Freeman’s services, too. Management advisory services focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations, business consultations that define opportunities and concerns, and analyses that opens new opportunities for management, planning and growth (although not concurrently during tax season of January 1 through May 15).

Freeman also provides bookkeeping and write-up services for companies that do not have an accounting staff or are outgrowing a current bookkeeping system.

“Many small business owners tend to attempt preparing their own books in order to save money,” she said. “This approach tends

to backfire, and usually at the worst time – when you need to prepare a report with a specific deadline or when our buddies from the IRS call.”

To emphasize the importance of hiring a professional bookkeeper, she shares the analogy of changing her car’s oil.

“I could do it, but it would take me four to six hours, I would have to deal with the old toxic oil and make sure I put the new oil in the right place,” she said, admitting that once she mistakenly added oil to her car’s transmission fluid.

“So, for the last 40 years, I’ve let professionals change the oil in my car.”

When it comes to bookkeeping, you may not be working with any 10W-30 or changing out an oil filter to keep your vehicle running well, but you are working with numbers that can make or break your company.

Unless you have some basic accounting and bookkeeping skills, professional assistance can save you time, money and headaches.

“With the height of tax season approaching, the most important thing is for your business to make sure that the books and the accounting records are in good order, with third party verification reconciled to

Chris Freeman, CPA, CGMA, of Everett, is ready to assist you this tax season.

support the tax returns,” she said. “Additionally, reports submitted to state or city entities should be compared to what was submitted on a federal level and show proper substantiation and documentation.”

She also recommends all account entries of significant amounts be reviewed for accuracy and reasonableness, then compared to amounts from previous years for a review

of increased and decreased numbers.

This reminder of bookkeeping savviness leads to a discussion of QuickBooks, a product Freeman says is a good software product for the price.

However, as with all things in the computer world: garbage in, garbage out.

“Oh, a nickel for every time I’ve heard, ‘Oh, I don’t know, QuickBooks does it

automatically,’” she said.

For any of Freeman’s individual or business services, including QuickBooks troubleshooting, setup and review, she offers a complimentary 30-minute consultation June 1 through December 31 each year.

To make an appointment, contact 425-225-5732. Low income tax payers should be aware that free assistance is available with the VOA or United Way.

Leona M. Yandle, born in Sultan, Wash. April 4, 1932, passed away December 7, 2014 at home in Arlington.

Lee enjoyed hunting, camping, putt-putt golf, clam digging, black berry picking, her flower gardens and babysitting all the young kids.

She would have you laughing with her “one-liners”, greeting you at her door with open arms, and packing her home with loved ones until it was “standing room only.”

Lee was preceded in death by siblings: John Delany, Iris Sletten, and Marge Meeker.

She is sur vived by her s i s t e r s , L o u i s e H a m m e r, Diana Pasco, Joanne Sheehan, and Louella P r e a e g e r. S h e i s a l s o survived by her son, Marvin Michael Yandle and his wife Lisa; grandchildren, Diedra M a t y s , C h r i s t i n e Ya n d l e , Jonathan Yandle, Michelle Turner, and Lorie Wellman, and eight greatgrandchildren.

Monday also marks the first day of the winter break for the school district. The recovery committee is planning various activities for students in hopes of keeping kids connected while they aren’t in school.

“We want to keep the students busy and connected with their peers, who understand what they’re going through,” Hawley said.

Staff from Victim Support Services have been working at the high school, helping families sign up for state’s crime victims compensation program, which provides money for such things as medical bills and funeral expenses.

The group’s mental health professional also has been providing one-on-one counseling for students. Hawley said she expects that will transition into some support groups for students.

Federal help for disabled expanded

MOHAMMAD SAJJAD / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The uncle and cousin of injured student Mohammad Baqair comfort him as he mourns the death of his mother who was a teacher at the school attacked Tuesday by the Taliban in Peshawar, Pakistan.

141 killed in attack on school Almost all victims of Taliban gunmen were Pakistani children

By Shashank Bengali and Zulfiqar Ali Los Angeles Times

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — The 10th-graders were having a class party when the gunmen burst into the auditorium.

Disguised as Pakistani security forces and armed with automatic weapons, they moved through the crowd of cowering children, shooting methodically.

“I immediately hid beneath the desk,” student Shah Rukh Khan said, “and they continued firing.”

The boy remained quiet, pretending to be dead as classmates collapsed around him, their dark green school uniforms soaked with blood.

When it was over, 132 children and nine staff members were killed Tuesday at an armyrun school in this northeastern city in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s troubled history.

Many were shot in the temple at close range. One 9-year-old told his father that a classmate’s head was nearly blown off his body.

Seven assailants wearing explosives-laden suicide vests fought a day-long gun battle with Pakistani soldiers and police commandos, trapping hundreds of students and teachers in the Army Public School compound where the assailants planted bombs to deter the security forces.

Around nightfall, eight hours after the siege began, army officials said all the militants were killed and more than 900 students and teachers escaped or were rescued.

Nearly all those killed were between the ages of 13 and 16.

School principal Tahira Qazi also was among the dead.

Another 121 students were wounded, many critically.

They lay in overwhelmed hospitals surrounded by anguished relatives as

hundreds of people lined up outside to donate blood.

The Pakistani Taliban, a militant group seeking to overthrow the elected civilian government, claimed responsibility, saying it was retaliation for a months-long army offensive against its hideouts in the nation’s restive northern tribal areas.

The Pakistani Taliban group opposes formal education, particularly of girls, and has attacked hundreds of schools in recent years and — most notably — attempted to assassinate student activist Malala Yousafzai in October 2012.

Malala, now 17, accepted the

Nobel Peace Prize last week.

But this attack — which recalled the 2004 school siege in Beslan, Russia, that left 385 people dead, including 186 children — was the insurgents’ biggest and most brazen, and it brought their long-running war into the homes of the military, Pakistan’s most powerful institution.

The roughly 1,100 students and staff members at the elite school come mainly from upper-middle-class families of senior military personnel.

“My son is in shock,” said Muhammad Amin, whose eighth-grade son managed to escape soon after hearing the

first shots. “His face has turned pale and he can’t speak.”

Rizwan Khan, an 11thgrader, was taking a test in a second-floor classroom and could see the auditorium through a window.

As gunfire erupted, a teacher ordered the students onto the floor. A few moments later, teachers shouted at them to leave, and he ran across the tree-studded courtyard through a nightmarish scene.

“I saw bodies and wounded schoolmates on the main lawn of the school,” he said.

President Barack Obama condemned the “heinous attack” that he said showed the militants’ “depravity.”

“We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region,” Obama said.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared three days of mourning but said Pakistan would not waver in fighting terrorism.

“Such attacks are expected in the wake of a war and the country should not lose its strength,” the prime minister said.

In apparent response to the attack, the Pakistani military carried out 10 airstrikes in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, of which Peshawar is the capital, “based on actionable intelligence,” Maj. Gen. Asim Bajwa, a military spokesman, said, without offering details.

A Pakistani Taliban spokesman, Muhammad Khorasani, told Pakistan’s Express Tribune newspaper: “We will target every institution linked to the army unless they stop operations and the extrajudicial killing of our detainees.”

After nightfall, provincial officials in Peshawar said that families had begun to hold burial services.

Jeb Bush to ‘actively explore’ candidacy

By Gary Fineout and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Tuesday took his most definitive step yet toward running for president, announcing plans to “actively explore” a campaign and form a political operation allowing him to raise money for like-minded Republicans.

In a holiday message posted on his Facebook page, the son and brother of past Republican presidents said he discussed the “future of our nation” and a potential bid for the White House with his family over the Thanksgiving holiday.

“As a result of these conversations and thoughtful

consideration of the kind of strong leadership I think America needs, I have decided to actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States,” Bush wrote.

Bush’s announcement is sure to reverberate throughout Republican politics. It overshadowed comments from former New York Gov. George Pataki, who told the New York Daily News in a story published Tuesday he is “very seriously” considering his own bid.

Should he decide to run, Bush, 61, can tap into his family’s vast political network, and his campaign would attract strong support from the same donor pool that other establishment-minded Republicans need for their own

prospective campaigns.

It could affect the plans of several sitting Republican governors, including New Jersey’s Chris Christie and Wisconsin’s Scott Walker.

A Bush candidacy also has the potential to affect Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who came up through Florida politics as a strong Bush supporter and is considering whether to seek reelection to the Senate or run for president in 2016.

Kristy Campbell, a spokeswoman for Bush, said he has not yet decided on whether to seek the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. She said that he will announce his decision next year.

“This is a natural next step

and represents a new phase of his consideration process,” Campbell said.

During his two terms as Florida governor, Bush pushed for large tax cuts, overhauled Florida’s education system and led the charge to eliminate race-based policies in college admissions and state spending.

Since leaving office, Bush has continued to advocate for more changes to the nation’s schools, including the adoption of new education standards known as Common Core.

Those standards have drawn the ire of conservatives who view them as a federal intrusion into local classrooms, but Bush has continued to call them critical to overhauling the country’s education system.

WASHINGTON — Congress gave final approval Tuesday to the most sweeping legislation to help the disabled in a quarter century, allowing Americans with disabilities to open tax-free bank accounts to pay for needs such as education, housing and health care. The move paves the way for creation of the accounts beginning next year for as many as 54 million disabled people and their families.

The Democratic-led Senate passed the measure on a 76-16 vote after it was attached to a bill extending dozens of tax breaks for individuals and businesses until the end of the year. Earlier this month, the GOP-controlled House overwhelmingly approved the measure, having garnered 85 percent of Congress as co-sponsors. The bill, called the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

Senate confirms nominees The Democratic-controlled Senate confirmed 12 of President Barack Obama’s judicial appointees and sent the White House legislation extending tax breaks for working-class millions and special interests alike late Tuesday.

An 11th-hour attempt to renew a program obliging the government to cover part of the cost of terrorism-caused losses was sidetracked by retiring Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who said it was a giveaway to private industry. But dozens of Obama’s nominees to agency positions won approval. Among them were Sarah Soldana to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Nicholas Rasmussen as director of the National Counterterrorism Center at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Mass.: Recovered Ebola doctor returning to Liberia A Massachusetts doctor cured of Ebola said Tuesday that he’s returning to Liberia, the West African country where he contracted the virus, in January to resume working at a medical mission. Dr. Richard Sacra said that he plans to spend four weeks at ELWA Hospital, a clinic outside Monrovia where he had contracted the deadly virus in August. Sacra, who was one of at least 10 people so far treated for Ebola in the U.S., is now effectively immune to Ebola, which has no vaccine.

Pa.: Suspect in 6 deaths dies A former Marine suspected of killing his ex-wife and five of her relatives was found dead in the woods near his suburban Philadelphia home Tuesday after a day-and-a-half manhunt. Authorities said police found Bradley William Stone’s body. The cause of death was not disclosed. Stone, a 35-year-old Iraq War veteran locked in a custody dispute with his ex-wife, went on a 90minute shooting rampage before daybreak Monday at three homes a few miles apart, authorities said.

AROUND THE WORLD Vatican City: Olive branch A sweeping Vatican investigation into Roman Catholic nuns in the U.S. that began amid fears they had become too feminist and secular ended up praising the sisters for their selfless work caring for the poor — a major shift in tone that reflected the social justice mindset of Pope Francis. The overwhelmingly positive report Tuesday also promised to value their “feminine genius” more, while gently suggesting ways to serve the church faithfully and survive amid a steep drop in their numbers. It was cheered by the American sisters themselves.

Yemen: Car bombs hit bus; 15 girls among 25 dead A pair of car bombs in Bayda province Tuesday killed at least 25 people, nearly two-thirds of them schoolgirls whose bus was hit, Yemeni officials said. A Shiite Muslim rebel group blamed alQaida. At least one of the bombs was believed to have targeted a checkpoint outside the home of a Shiite official, Abdullah Idris. But one of the explosions hit a passing bus carrying female elementary school students, killing at least 15 of them, according to an unidentified military official. The 10 other dead in the city of Radaa included Houthi rebels and civilians.

Ruble’s plunge ignites Russia fears

By Matthew Schofield and Kevin G. Hall McClatchy Foreign Staff

BERLIN — A free-falling Russian ruble Tuesday prompted fears that the nuclear-armed nation could be entering a deep economic recession with the potential for unrest, as citizens and investors try to get their hands on cash amid crippling international sanctions and

>>

Obama will sign legislation imposing new sanctions on Russia. The White House claims some credit for sparking Moscow’s currency crisis, A12 sinking oil prices.

The Russian central bank tried to right the ship with a surprisingly large interest rate hike, to 17 percent, before the nation’s financial markets opened Tuesday. But

it was for naught as the already limping ruble fell another 20 percent against the U.S. dollar.

“What we’ve seen in the last few days is real financial panic,” said Anders Aslund, a Russia expert for the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.

Problems in Russia circled the globe, with volatile trading in European financial markets and wild inter-day swings on Wall

Street. Blue chips on the Dow Jones industrial average were up 155 points at midday before swinging to losses and closing down 111.9 points to 17,068.94.

The jump in Russian rates was designed to keep investors there from fleeing the country, sweetening their returns. Instead, investors shrugged it off and proceeded to head for the exits.

A worker walks next to the nose of a 737-800 under assembly Tuesday at Boeing’s 737 facility in Renton.

Edging towards clean energy Boeing says it’s buying wind power credits to help power its 737 plant in Renton.

By Phuong Le Associated Press

RENTON — Boeing said Tuesday it plans to buy renewable energy credits to replace fossilfuel power at the factory here where it assembles its 737 commercial airplanes.

The aerospace company and the utility, Puget Sound Energy, said the plan will move the Renton factory toward an allrenewable energy mix.

Boeing Co. says it will offset electricity from coal and other fuels by paying a premium to buy wind power credits tied to

the Bellevue-based utility’s Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility near Ellensburg.

The utility’s energy mix in 2013 was about 50 percent hydro, wind and other renewable sources, according to state figures. Natural gas and coal made up the other half, and that’s the portion Boeing plans to replace with renewable energy credits.

“It will cost us a little more in the short term. We think the investment makes sense for the environment, our employees and the community,” said Beverly Wyse, vice president and general manager of the 737 program.

Boeing officials declined to say how much more they’re paying, or how much energy the factory uses. Boeing assembles 42 planes a month at the Renton site, which includes about 4.3 million square feet of building space.

Energy produced in the region from multiple sources gets pooled to the regional grid, so it’s difficult to track the source of a particular electron that ends up being used at a home or a business. So Boeing may still technically get some coal-fired electricity to that plant.

“You can’t direct an electron to any one location. It goes to the power pool,” said Heather Mulligan with the utility.

Renewable energy credits “are a way to basically put some ownership on that green electron at the point of use.”

Marc Krasnowsky, a spokesman for NW Energy Coalition that has pushed for more renewable energy use, praised the company for looking at becoming all-renewable.

“They’re basically turning their fossil power green, and that’s laudable,” he said.

Artist’s ‘Angry Birds’ lawsuit goes forward

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit by a Seattle artist who says she was cheated out of millions of dollars when the company that sold her line of plush pet toys called “Angry Birds” reached a deal with the Finnish company that makes the insanely popular video game of the same name.

Juli Adams designed the “Angry Birds” toys in 2006 for The Hartz Mountain Corp., a New Jerseybased pet products company.

Three years later, she says in her lawsuit, Hartz licensed her intellectual property to game-maker Rovio Entertainment without telling her.

Adams says Rovio wanted to market plush pet toys based on the game — just as it had already done with “Angry Birds” golf-club

A second class action lawsuit has been filed against Sony Pictures Entertainment by two former employees whose private data was stolen from the company’s servers and posted online. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court accuses Sony of waiting too long to notify employees that data such as Social Security numbers, salaries and medical records had been stolen.

The filing comes one day after two other former Sony employees filed a class action lawsuit in federal court. Both cases seek to represent current and former Sony employees who data was posted online.

Pennsylvania’s highest court is upholding a $151 million verdict in favor of employees at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club who say they were forced to work through their breaks. The Philadelphia Inquirer reportedMonday’s decision affects 187,000 people who worked for Bentonville, Arkansasbased Wal-Mart Stores Inc. between 1998 and 2006. WalMart said it’s considering a federal appeal.

Wal-Mart verdict

By Brandon Bailey

OAKLAND, Calif. — After just a few hours of deliberation, a jury in California found in favor of Apple on Tuesday in a billion-dollar class-action lawsuit over the price of its iPod music players.

The eight-member jury in U.S. District Court rejected a claim by attorneys for consumers and iPod resellers, who argued that Apple’s use of restrictive software amounted to anticompetitive behavior aimed at freezing out competing makers of portable music players. Apple had argued that the software provided necessary security protection and was part of a larger package of features that made its iPods and iTunes music store popular with consumers.

Apple applauded the verdict in a statement: “We created iPod and iTunes to give our customers the world’s best way to listen to music. Every time we’ve updated those products — and every Apple product over the years — we’ve done it to make the user experience even better.”

Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they plan to appeal.

“We’re glad we got this to the jury,” said attorney Bonny Sweeney, who had argued on

BRIEFLY

covers, theme parks and innumerable other items — but it couldn’t because Adams’ work already had the U.S. trademark for “Angry Birds” pet toys.

Hartz stopped making the toys based on Adams’ designs and started making them for Rovio based on the video game characters.

The company asked U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik to dismiss the case, arguing that under its contract with Adams, it owned the “Angry Birds” trademark and was free to use it.

But Lasnik declined. In an order Monday, he said Adams makes a plausible case that she retained intellectual property rights in the “Angry Birds” trademark.

“They had an obligation to treat Juli fairly and not throw her off for someone else,” Adams’ attorney, Anthony Shapiro, said Tuesday.

FedEx spills packages A FedEx truck crash along a Georgia interstate sent packages spilling all over the highway just nine days before Christmas. A Monroe County sheriff’s spokeswoman said the driver was hauling two trailers Tuesday and lost control after the second one became loose. Some packages were destroyed.

Southwest picketing Saying Southwest Airlines is neglecting workers and its customers, baggage handlers are bringing attention to the company’s slide in on-time performance as they seek a new contract. Workers picketed and handed out leaflets to passengers at Denver and 15 other airports, including SeaTac, on Tuesday.

Oregon wine harvest: Dry year, lots of fruit Oregon winemakers are toasting the 2014 grape harvest, done under unusually dry conditions that produced abundant yields. “This year has been a Goldilocks,” said Michelle Kaufmann, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Wine Board. “Not too cold, not too hot and not too much rain.”

The upshot, some growers told the Eugene Register-Guard, is that growers will have to work to keep prices up for their premium wines, and consumers could see bargains in bulk and secondary label wines.

THE DAY ON WALL STREET Sudden twists in the price of oil and currency trading turned the stock market into a roller-coaster ride. Indexes ended slightly lower after an early rally fizzled. The price of crude oil stabilized after a prolonged rout, bringing relief to energy stocks and the Russian ruble, both of which have been battered by a slump in oil. The price of oil has fallen by half since June.

On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 111.97 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,068.87. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 16.89 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,972.74.

Russia is being hit by a double blow: falling oil prices and international economic sanctions levied in the wake of Russia’s moves into Ukraine.

Even before the extraordinary action on the ruble, the central bank had warned that if oil prices stay where they are today, in the range of $60 a barrel, the economy would contract sharply. Higher

interest rates now further raise the cost of borrowing for Russian businesses, deepening the expected contraction.

“Nothing they do with monetary policy can help.

If you have something that is fundamentally wrong, you can’t fix it with monetary policy,” said Aslund, who said Russian President Vladimir Putin must find a face-saving way to back out of his foray into the Ukraine and lift the sanctions.

Adding to the pressure, White House spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed Tuesday that President

Barack Obama will sign this week a bill that imposes further sanctions on the Russian economy.

Ordinary Russians are emptying out ATM machines and standing in long lines to buy appliances and electronics, anything that might hold its value more than the sinking Russian currency. It’s led to a strange, albeit temporary boom for Russian consumption.

But it is easy to see how that could quickly shift as the falling ruble makes imports more expensive.

Many Russians are accustomed to the hard times of the Soviet era, and the elites in Russia, who enjoy preferences, will now be more beholden to Putin than before as their fate is increasingly in his hands.

Obama to sign Russia sanctions bill Apple

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will sign legislation this week imposing new economic sanctions on Russia, the White House said Tuesday, as the U.S. claimed some credit for sparking Moscow’s roiling currency crisis and moved to deepen the pain.

Still, White House officials acknowledged there were no guarantees Russia’s economic woes and another round of sanctions would compel Vladimir Putin to curtail aggressive actions in Ukraine. The Russian economy has been in a downward spiral for months, but Putin has managed to maintain political support at home.

“The aim is to sharpen the choice he faces,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said of the sanctions. He said Obama was likely to sign the bill this week. The measure cleared Congress late Saturday.

Obama economic adviser Jason Furman said Russia was grappling with a

crisis of its own making.

“The combination of our sanctions, the uncertainty they’ve created for themselves with their international actions and the falling price of oil has put their economy on the brink of crisis,” Furman said.

“That gives you only bad choices.”

The legislation has widespread bipartisan support on Capitol Hill but has worried Europe, where leaders fear unilateral U.S. action will undermine the West’s united front against Moscow.

For months, the U.S. and European Union have sought to enact sanctions against Russia in tandem.

But Europe, which has a

But Shapiro has said there are similarities in the designs, including in

far broader economic relationship with Russia than does the U.S., has largely reached its limit for enacting broad sanctions against the Russian energy industry and other key economic sectors unless the Kremlin ramps up its actions in Ukraine.

The bill does require the president to impose penalties on state-owned arms dealer Rosoboronexport and other Russian defense companies tied to unrest in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Syria.

“Russia is a petro-state,” said Overland. “As the oil prices fall, so does Russia.”

But the plaintiffs argued that the software locked people into using iPods and allowed Apple to overcharge for the devices. Plaintiffs were seeking $350 million in damages, which could have been tripled if the jury found Apple violated antitrust laws.

Apple also argued that the iTunes software update was a legitimate product improvement, with a variety of consumer-friendly features.

Rogers told the jurors that legitimate improvements are allowed under antitrust law, regardless of their effect on competitors.

She told The Associated Press last summer, when her lawsuit was filed, that she jumped at the chance because it sounded like fun.

IN OUR VIEW | 2015 legislative agenda

Cities’ strong case on budget With the legislative session less than a month away and Gov. Jay Inslee set to release his budget proposal on Thursday, various groups are stepping up to remind lawmakers about what needs to get done. Education and transportation will be the main focus, but many other strings will remain to be tied up.

Among those with reminders for legislators is the Snohomish County Cities group, which represents all 20 cities and towns in the county and brings together its mayors and council members to work together on common interests.

Standing together, the group — lead by Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling, president, and Mill Creek Mayor Mike Todd, vice-president — wants the county’s legislative delegation and other lawmakers to remember a few things: ■■Snohomish County is first in the state in the number of manufacturing jobs with

65,000 direct jobs at more than 745 companies. Of those, 47,000 jobs and more than 215 are in aerospace.

■■The county is second in the state in technology jobs outside of aerospace.

■■And those jobs in aerospace, technology and manufacturing generate $6.2 billion in wages.

It’s not a surprise then that the cities group is asking that attention be paid to issues of transportation, infrastructure, education and the workforce, specifically related to Snohomish County and its residents.

Echoing the call by Economic Alliance Snohomish County, the cities group says that as a transportation package is negotiated, $1.076 billion in projects should be spent in the county, improving roads and bridges for moving commuters and freight and alleviating the choke points at rail crossings.

Beyond those expenditures,

cities also are seeing their share of gas tax revenues decline as the miles of citymaintained streets increase.

As is the case elsewhere, cities have had to put off some of their regular street maintenance to meet budget, but neglected roads are reaching a point where further delay of maintenance work will result in even more costly work.

The cities also need lawmakers to restore funding to the Public Works Trust Fund. Like other such funds, the public works fund was emptied to solve short-term budget problems. The trust fund allows quicker and easier access to low-interest short-term loans for public works projects that are more economical for taxpayers than reliance on bonds.

The cities are joining the chorus that the Legislature adequately fund education and expand funding for science, technology, engineering and math programs.

It also supports the capital and operation funds that will be necessary as Washington State University ramps up its administration of the University Center in Everett.

The cities group also is seeking restoration of funding they lost since the passage of Initiative 1183, which privatized liquor sales. Washington cities are receiving a smaller percentage of revenue from state excise taxes on liquor and a smaller percentage of the revenue from license fees and permits. I-1183 provided that cities receive increased revenue to help fund public safety, a provision that the Legislature hasn’t honored, Snohomish County Cities says.

The common interests above are what will help Snohomish County Cities make its case to lawmakers. Their mayors and council members were elected to look out for the interests of their residents.

Those residents should add their voices to these requests.

are more misplaced words in articles (due to the ability to delete more easily than with a typewriter), but given diminished revenue suffered by the print industry, I am just thankful I have a newspaper that is delivered to my door, as well as all who still relish holding an actual newspaper in your hands. Just as I pay the extra 20 cents an issue it costs me, as an existing subscriber to Time Magazine, I am willing to pay more for my daily paper, knowing it is helping to keep The Herald afloat. I would be very sad if The Herald, my source for local news, was no longer.

Regarding Comcast customer service, or lack of it: I have had Comcast service for over 10 years now, only in the last few years has customer service declined. It is nearly impossible to talk to a representative that is not overseas.

The miscommunication is inevitable, they talk over me, they try and control the conversation without even hearing me out before they have a full understanding. I have been hung up on four times. I have filed formal complaints with the FTC and FCC. Most recently, I received a “cc” copy of Comcast’s response to the FTC and FCC, in it they are only addressing my complaint toward payment arrangements, with no mention of my more serious reason of contact, that being hung up on and treated disrespectfully by customer service. They swept that under the rug. Why would I file a formal complaint to the FCC and FTC over payment arrangements? I wouldn’t.

Every month I have an issue that seems to get rolled over from the previous month; after three or four months of this, things are so backward, I don’t even know what will happen anymore.

This company is out of control and if the government won’t take action against them, where do I go and what do I do? It’s gotten to the point that I feel the need to medicate myself, knowing every month I have to look forward to doing this all over again.

Regarding the guest commentary, “‘Greener’ fuels not yet worth the risks”: I was not surprised to hear Washington state Sen. Curtis King trot out comprehensively debunked oil industry “science” in his recent Herald commentary criticizing Gov. Inslee’s clean fuels policy goals.

Sen. King (from Yakima) has proven time and again that he cares more about oil company profits than he does the people of Washington, who broadly support moving away from dirty fossil fuels in favor of locally produced, clean alternatives.

I was surprised to read his comments in the Everett Herald. Sen. King does not speak for me nor, for that matter, Snohomish County. Instead of lining the already fat wallets of the oil industry — a technology-neutral clean fuel standard would keep money in our communities, supporting local workers and employers throughout the state. I support that.

A clean fuel standard would help to keep our Pacific Northwest air clean and make progress on responding to impending climate change.

Our families will be healthier, and our communities stronger.

We have our own elected leaders in Snohomish County, and I’d prefer to hear from them on this important topic!

I have faith that our own local leaders will be more willing than Sen. King to set aside special interests and pursue what is best for our region, our state, and our future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■CIA

Book documents torture by U.S. It’s incredible that the CIA’s interrogation techniques used against terrorist and Iraqi prisoners has only recently come to light. An English lawyer named Philippe Sands (a QC i.e. Queens Council) investigated the situation way back in 2008 and wrote a book about it called “Torture Team.” It’s well worth a read. It defines what being an American is.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld were all in on it from ignoring the Geneva Convention (which the U.S. played a principal part in compiling) to the introduction of 11 new torture techniques previously banned by the U.S. and straight out of the KGB play book. Rumsfeld also redefined the limit of torture as “a treatment that doesn’t actually cause death.” In other words, an interrogator can apply unspeakable mutilation to his subject as long as he doesn’t kill him.

Anyway, don’t take my word for it, read the book. It’ a very well-researched eye opener.

hen is a law not a law? That seems to be the question taken up by The Herald’s editorial board, education “reform” groups like Stand for Children, the Seattle Times, state legislators and now the governor.

It is an odd question to ask, as it is directed at Initiative 1351, the class size initiative that the people passed just JOHN BURBANK a month ago. That initiative was derided by the mainstream media, by liberal organizations and by public opinion-leaders as just too expensive. But the initiative prevailed statewide with majority support in counties east of the mountains, surrounding Puget Sound, as well as in southwest Washington.

As soon as the votes were counted finalized and even before, the powersthat-be were ganging up with the demand to suspend I-1351 immediately. But here is what our state constitution says about lawmaking: “The legislative authority of the state of Washington shall be vested in the legislature…. but the people reserve to themselves the power to propose bills, laws, and to enact or reject the same at the polls, independent of the legislature, ...

The first power reserved by the people is the initiative.”

So Initiative 1351 is the law, indeed, with a constitutional ranking ahead of laws passed by the Legislature. That’s why the constitution requires a two-thirds vote of both houses to overturn, amend, suspend or repeal initiatives passed by the people.

So what’s the deal with Initiative 1351?

How come the powers-that-be want to deep-six it immediately?

They didn’t propose to decapitate Initiative 1240, which enabled the creation of charter schools, which has floundered in its implementation, and which passed with only a 1 percent margin. When Initiative 776, which lowered car tabs for new vehicles, was passed in 2002, and then found unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court, the Legislature rushed to put it back into law. This decreased state revenues by $1 billion, money that would have gone to roads and transit. And just last year, when Boeing wanted a new $8.7 billion tax exemption, the Legislature went into special session just to give it to them. That took one day.

But these same legislators can’t find it in their hearts to fund Initiative 1351, which will reduce class sizes in public schools.

So they want to overturn it. Consider State Representative Ruth Kagi’s (D-Shoreline) assessment: “We had a briefing last week ... that estimated the cost of compliance with 1351 to be $1.9 million per year in the next biennium ... There is no way the legislature can cut existing programs and raise enough taxes to address that level of funding.” So, the Legislature can give away tax exemptions at the behest of a single corporation, but they can’t find the money to fund a voter-approved initiative that directly benefits more than 1 million public school students.

What are they scared of? They can close tax loopholes, if they want to. State Representative Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, is leading the charge for this. This would bring in billions of dollars for public services. They could consider a capital gains tax on the wealthy, as proposed

by State Rep. Laura Jinkins, D-Tacoma, and supported by State Reps. Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline; Luis Moscoso, D-Bothell; and Mike Sells, D-Everett, as well as State Rep. Kagi, herself. This tax would bring in about $1 billion a year. That’s enough to fund Initiative 1351, and it would be paid by those wealthy individuals who have gained millions since the great recession.

Indeed, there is a multitude of ways to figure out how to fund Initiative 1351, and ensure that the funding comes from the people and corporations at the very top of the food chain. Just yesterday Boeing announced it will buy back $14 billion in stock and increase its dividends by 25 percent! Of that, $8.7 billion could be seen as a direct transfusion from citizens in Washington state. If we can move that much money to Boeing, we can certainly figure out how to fund Initiative 1351, and keep faith with the people and their constitutional right to make laws through the initiative process.

Calls: ‘I know him’ From Page A1

“If it was Jaylen, I know him. He didn’t seem ...” he began to tell the dispatcher, but was interrupted with a question about what weapons might have been used.

The boy didn’t know the names of the injured.

“I think four people were hit or more,” he said.

Killed were Zoe Galasso, Gia Soriano, and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, all 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15. Nate

Hatch, 14, survived.

The boy hiding in the classroom told the dispatcher no one with him was hurt. They were safe, he said. He wasn’t hearing anymore gunfire.

“I don’t want you to open that door. OK?” Reporters Rikki King, Eric Stevick and Scott North contributed to this story.

Associated Press PITTSBURGH — A webcam captured images of the first of two African penguins hatching at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh.

the woman lived, records show.

The woman accused Vier of stalking her. She obtained a protection order. Edmonds police conducted multiple investigations, though no charges were filed.

At the time, Vier’s bosses at the Everett Fire Department told the woman to seek domestic-violence services, and told Vier to get counseling.

Vier also was investigated by police in Island County for allegations made by his ex-wife, though none of those cases led to charges. In 2010 and again this September, he was investigated after burglaries at the woman’s home. He also was arrested and booked in 2005 for investigation of domestic violence.

On Nov. 19, Vier was arrested in the Seattle police sting and put on paid leave. He later was charged in King County Superior Court with attempted commercial sexual abuse of a minor.

He reportedly scheduled a meetup with police who were posing as the father of a 15-year-old prostitute.

Prosecutors alleged that Vier asked the phony father

Point exhibit. A second egg is expected to hatch this week, though spokeswoman Robin Weber said that was unlikely to occur Tuesday.

Scientists estimate fewer than 20,000 of the birds exist in the wild.

The public can monitor the penguins at www. penguinnestcam.org

and see the parents, Sidney and Bette, sharing nesting duties. The father, Sidney, is named for Sidney Crosby, the star of the city’s National Hockey League team, the Penguins.

Sidney and Bette successfully bred two previous sets of chicks, so aviary officials expect the new chicks

to thrive. They’ll be reared for three to four weeks by their parents in a cave that is part of the exhibit. After that, they’ll be hand-reared by aviary staff.

The chicks won’t be named until tests in a few weeks determine their gender. The aviary plans to name the chicks after prominent individuals.

if he had any other teenage girls available.

Vier reportedly brought condoms, sex toys, maleenhancement medication and personal lubricants to the meet-up.

Vier is free on $50,000 bail. He retired from the Everett Fire Department on Dec. 9, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

“The city had begun an internal investigation following Mr. Vier’s arrest, with the possible outcome of initiating the termination process,” Pembroke said Tuesday.

After his arrest, the city of Everett released records showing that Vier was demoted last July from his previous post as a fire department division chief.

Details of his demotion have not been made public. Records show that Vier agreed to the demotion and to a $24,000 pay cut from his earlier $111,480 salary. Division chief is the third-highest rank in the Everett Fire Department, a post he kept after the GPStracking admission.

The Edmonds Police Department’s file on Vier involves three separate cases since 2011. The Herald obtained the 42-page file through a public records request.

One case was opened in September 2011 after the Edmonds woman’s family found the GPS tracker on

the underside of her car.

She had broken up with Vier after a nine-month relationship. She sought a protection order in 2011 after he continued to send her emails, which included romantic poetry quotes, records show.

Edmonds police seized the GPS device as evidence.

They asked the product manufacturer for billing information for the device.

The records don’t make clear whether the company complied.

Vier wore his fire department uniform to attend a court hearing in the protectionorder case. At the courthouse, Edmonds police asked Vier about the GPS tracker. Vier told the officer he had “no comment” but did not deny the allegation that he’d placed it under the car, records show.

The woman also provided Edmonds police with email exchanges she had with Everett Fire Chief Murray Gordon in early 2012. She wrote him about her concerns about Vier.

Gordon wrote back that he twice talked to Vier about the situation. He also conferred with police in Edmonds and Everett, plus prosecutors and the city’s human resources department.

That summer, Assistant Fire Chief Bob Downey told Edmonds police that the

Everett Fire Department “compelled Vier to go to counseling regarding these matters,” records show.

Vier reportedly told Edmonds police that Downey “told him to stay away from the Edmonds area.”

Vier said he had tried to avoid Edmonds but ran into his ex-girlfriend while visiting another woman he was dating.

There was not enough evidence to seek a stalking charge or an antiharassment order violation, investigators determined.

The Edmonds case was closed.

Everett Fire Department officials were “aware of allegations of off-duty interpersonal conflicts involving Mr. Vier,” including the Edmonds woman’s allegations, Pembroke said Wednesday.

“This incident did not result in formal charges, and so did not rise to the level of formal discipline or sanction by the department,” she said.

Vier had worked for the city since 1991.

In an email he reportedly sent to the Edmonds woman in 2011, he complimented her on being a great judge of character.

He then wrote: “Well one bad penny got through, me.”

Hole too deep Everett can’t overcome Vancouver’s two first-period goals, lose 2-1to the Giants, C2

WEDNESDAY, 12.17.2014

Two games with much at stake for Seahawks S

EATTLE — A whole lot is at stake for the Seattle Seahawks their next two games.

Thanks to their recent hot streak, Green Bay’s loss in Buffalo on Sunday, and two losses by Arizona last month — one of them at the hands of Seattle — the Seahawks not only can win the division by winning their final two games, they can clinch a first-round bye and very likely earn the NFC’s top seed and home-field advantage if they beat the Cardinals on Sunday and St. Louis in Week 17.

As you likely know by now, the if Seattle finishes in a tie with Seahawks will be assured at least just Green Bay or Detroit, who the No. 2 seed if they finish 12-4, are both currently 10-4 and who and in most scenarios, they are the play each other in Week 17, then No. 1 seed with that record. The the Seahawks would win those only way the Seahawks can win tiebreakers. out and not earn home-field Of course, Seahawks coach advantage is if they finish in Pete Carroll won’t allow his JOHN BOYLE a two-way tie with the Dallas players think about what they Cowboys, who would win a can accomplish the next two head-to-head tiebreaker with Seattle. weeks, lest those thoughts keep them from If, however, the Seahawks, Cowboys taking care of the task at hand. and Green Bay or Detroit finish 12-4, or “That’s not the stuff to talk about,”

Carroll said. “It’s so obvious why we don’t talk about it, but we’ve been preparing for championship games all season long and playing like they are, and the more we do that, the more comfortable I hope we’ll feel with the big setting that this one brings and all the hype that people are going to put on it.

ANALYSIS

Rumors of Upton to Mariners That speculation is interesting, but just how believable is it?

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

the (wrestling) room. They’re learning how to battle in tough situations. Everett’s a solid team and they were able to go out there and compete and definitely got our emotions into it. These guys got excited about it and that was good to see. We also have a lot work to do and it reveals a lot in that respect as well.”

Glacier Peak defeated Arlington and Everett defeated EdmondsWoodway earlier Tuesday night to set up a meeting between the two unbeatens in Tuesday’s finale.

SEATTLE — What about Justin Upton to the Seattle Mariners?

Atlanta’s apparent willingness to lower its price in efforts to trade Upton is already stirring whispers that he might land in Seattle.

Specifically, it seems the Braves are no longer demanding that Taijuan Walker be included in any such swap. I first saw that news in a report by MLB.com’s Mark Bowman, but some followup calls suggest it’s true.

That could be a game-changer.

Now, let me put the qualifier in right here: This is, at this point, largely an exercise in connecting the dots from a lot of industry scuttlebutt.

And it was similar scuttlebutt that labeled the Justin Upton Mariners as heavy Coveted by favorites to sign the Mariners free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera ... until he reached a three-year deal Saturday with the Chicago White Sox. So take it on those terms.

But ...

The Mariners are looking for a right-handed hitter to play right field and have long coveted Upton, who is very available in the Braves’ ongoing overhaul.

Upton has just one year remaining before free agency.

Recall the Mariners actually traded for Upton in January 2013 while he was in Arizona. That deal would have sent several prospects, including Walker, to the Diamondbacks.

Upton squashed the deal by exercising a limited notrade clause in his contract that included the Mariners. Arizona subsequently traded him to Atlanta.

Fast forward: Upton’s contract no longer allows him to block a trade to the Mariners, who talked earlier this offseason with the Braves about a possible trade.

Those talks stalled because Atlanta wanted Walker included in the deal. But circumstances have changed from two years ago, and the Mariners are unwilling to surrender Walker in a deal for Upton.

It’s not hard to see why.

Two years ago, the Mariners would have gained three years of control over Upton. Now, it’s just one. Also, two years ago, Walker was a prospect (albeit highly regarded) who had not pitched above Double-A. The Mariners now see Walker as poised to step into their bigleague rotation while still being under club control for six more seasons. In short, they’re not interested in trading six years of control for one.

Another Arlington nail biter Eagles outlast Mountlake Terrace 62-60, improve their record to 5-0

By David Krueger Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys basketball team has developed a habit of playing in close games this season.

Fortunately for the Eagles,

they continue to win them.

Four of Arlington’s five victories this season have been by five points or less, with the Eagles’ latest a nail-biting 62-60 victory over Mountlake Terrace in a non-conference game at Arlington High School Tuesday night.

“We had 10 non-league games this year, so we’re just trying to fill our schedule. It just kind of worked out that every team that we’ve played so far has been tough,” said Arlington head

coach Nick Brown. “We’ve had a pretty good run these last couple years and everyone brings their A-game against us. We feel that we’re going to get their best shot and we have so far.”

The Eagles led early in the contest but Mountlake Terrace continued to battle. The Hawks tied the score 34-34 before halftime and remained close to the Eagles throughout the second half.

After the two teams’ offenses performed well in the first three

quarters, points were hard to come by in the fourth. Both teams scored just nine points in the final period, with Mountlake Terrace tying the score 60-60 after a Gabe Altenberger field goal and two free throws by Justin Hopkins with 1:14 to play.

A five-second call on the Hawks gave Arlington the ball back with 45 seconds and the Eagles capitalized with a See ARLINGTON, Page C5

Silvertips fall 2-1 to Giants SILVERTIPS | Today’s Game

Herald staff KENNEWICK — The Everett Silvertips left it too late Tuesday night.

Everett’s late push wasn’t enough as the Tips fell to the streaking Vancouver Giants 2-1.

The Tips fell behind by two goals in the first period and struggled to get back into it. Everett turned up the pressure in the third period, outshooting Vancouver 9-2, but could only get one goal back.

Tyler Benson and Carter Popoff scored the goals for Vancouver (1618-0-0), which continued its strong run by winning its seventh straight.

The Giants are 6-0 since Claude Noel took over as head coach following the firing of Troy Ward.

Cody Porter played a solid game in goal for the Giants, making 24 saves to earn the win.

Nikita Scherbak found the net in the third period for Everett (199-3-1), preventing the Tips from being shut out for the first time this season.

Carter Hart started the game in goal for Everett, making four saves on six shots in the first period.

Austin Lotz came in at the start of the second and stopped all 15

The Giants made it 2-0 in the final minute of the period. Popoff

was given too much time in the slot, and he beat Hart with a shot at 19:08 to give Vancouver a two-goal advantage heading into the second.

Everett brought on Lotz to start the second period and the Tips had some chances early in the period. But Vancouver recovered later in the period and neither team found the net as it remained 2-0 going into the third.

The Tips finally broke Porter’s shutout with 7:11 remaining. The Tips moved in transition and Kohl Bauml fed a pass that Scherbak put away to get Everett within one. The Tips pressured the Vancouver goal with Lotz pulled for an extra attacker, but couldn’t find the tying score.

UW’s success tied to accountability, team-first focus

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Mike Anderson knows the answer to this question.

What, exactly, changed in the past year to allow the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team to start this season 8-0, to ascend to No. 16 in both major polls and to appear for the first time in three years as if they could contend for a berth in the NCAA tournament?

“I think everybody’s boughtin with the team,” Anderson said Tuesday, one day ahead of UW’s 8 p.m. game against Grambling State at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

Ah, the nebulous concept of a “buy-in.” It’s an easy explanation, even if difficult to define, for why a team can play so much better just one season after being stuck in mediocrity.

But the Huskies insist the concept is one of the primary reasons for their return to relevance so far this season (though the addition of 7-foot center Robert Upshaw and his shot-swatting abilities probably didn’t hurt, either).

“I think the defense is better. Robert Upshaw makes a difference. I think our players are older, more experienced,” coach Lorenzo Romar said.

“But that buy-in is what leads to that. I think the good defense is a byproduct of the buy-in. and this year, I just think everyone is on the same page. And it certainly helps when you win. If you lose, that changes things. But when you’re winning, there’s a tendency to buy in. It’s a little

TONIGHT’S GAME

STEPHEN BRASHEAR / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington’s Robert Upshaw dunks the ball in the second half of the Huskies game against Eastern Washington on Sunday. Washington rallied in the second half to win the game 81-77 and Upshaw came off the bench to lead Washington in scoring with 21 points. He also had nine rebounds and six blocked shots.

easier.”

After the Huskies’ 17-15 finish last season, Romar spoke about a lack of accountability, saying that the coaching staff might have allowed too much “slippage” while working through key injuries and retooling their defensive philosophy as a result.

This year is different. And that might have started with a team meeting during UW’s training

camp. Fourth-year junior guard Andrew Andrews mentioned it on Tuesday, and Romar remembered it, too.

“We were talking about holding each other accountable, and we got real specific as to who was maybe slacking and why,” Romar said, recalling a theme of “OK, we need to make sure we get better at that and hold each other accountable and to it.”

Andrews and Romar both characterized the team meeting as positive, with players and coaches discussing last season and the upcoming season in a fashion that “got our feelings out,” Andrews said.

“I thought we got a lot done in that meeting,” Romar said. “I thought if we can stick to this, it’s going to help us down the road.

I thought it helped establish a foundation, so to speak — a team foundation.”

It may have helped most defensively, where the Huskies are so far allowing opponents to shoot just 34 percent from the field. They gave up field goals at a 50.8 percent clip in 2013-14.

That defense isn’t likely to be tested against Grambling, a Southwestern Athletic Conference team with six losses by an average of 37.7 points. The Tigers lost 71-43 at Oregon State on Monday night.

But Grambling’s record likely won’t be a focal point of UW’s gameplan.

“The way to handle success is don’t think you’re successful,” Andrews said. “... We know each game we have something to prove, so as long as we’re taking each game as they come and not looking ahead into the future like, ‘oh, we’re this, we’re that,’ then we’ll be all right.”

New York Yankees hope A-Rod ‘can secure the everyday DH spot’

Alex Rodriguez is due another $61 million from the Yankees through 2017.

On the field, however, Brian Cashman doesn’t feel like they owe him anything more. If A-Rod is going to have a role on the 2015 Yankees, he’ll need to earn it in spring training.

“I don’t think any reasonable human being can know what to expect

from Alex at this stage of his career,” Cashman said Tuesday during a phone interview. “Yeah, we have a contractual agreement.

But that doesn’t guarantee playing time. It doesn’t guarantee anything.

“All it guarantees is he’s coming to camp and he’s going to compete and hopefully he can secure the everyday DH spot now. We just don’t know what we’re going to get. No one’s ever

really been through this before.”

Cashman, of course, is referring to the considerable baggage A-Rod will be carrying with him to Tampa when spring training begins.

He’s coming off a seasonlong PED suspension, turns 40 in July, and is playing on two surgically repaired hips. In Cashman’s mind, that made it a no-brainer to bring back Chase Headley, who Monday signed a

four-year, $52-million deal.

With the addition of Headley, Cashman said the infield is set -— with Didi Gregorius at short, Martin Prado at second base and Mark Teixeira at first.

Joe Girardi has raised the possibility of Rodriguez as a backup to Teixeira and Cashman suggested that maybe A-Rod could be a short-term solution if something happened to Headley.

But those are

hypothetical options in mid-December. The bottom line is that Cashman can’t count on A-Rod in putting this year’s roster together. He remains a very expensive X-factor.

“It’s better for me as GM, in the chair that I’m sitting in, to prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” Cashman said. “Right now, I have a tremendous defensive infield, and I think that best serves us. In Alex’s case, he hasn’t swung a bat in 18 months essentially. If we can line the club up properly, this would be the best role for him and us.”

Chargers wide receiver Allen has broken collarbone

Washington’s Shaq Thompson, Hau’oli Kikaha and Danny Shelton earn AP first-team All-America honors.

By Christian Caple

Associated Press

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Their 8-5 record likely rates as a disappointment, but the Washington Huskies’ historically productive defense is earning a momentous amount of accolades.

USA Today, ESPN, CBS, Sports Illustrated, Scout.com, Athlon and the Walter Camp Football Foundation — to name a handful — included among their All-America selections the name(s) of Hau’oli Kikaha, or Danny Shelton, or Shaq Thompson, or all three.

But none of those honors carried historical significance — until Tuesday, that is, when the Associated Press announced that Thompson, Shelton and Kikaha had each been voted first-team All-America.

The Huskies had never landed three players on the AP’s firstteam. The last time two UW players earned first-team AllAmerica honors from the AP in one season was 1997, when a pair of offensive linemen, Benji Olson and Olin Kreutz, were each chosen.

And no UW player had made the AP’s first-team, period, since star receiver Reggie Williams did it in 2002.

“We were just talking about that walking in here — we made history,” Thompson said Tuesday in a rare media appearance.

“The other thing cool about it is that we aren’t just All-Americans on our own, which is why I don’t like to soak in it too much, because it belongs to all of us on our team and defense, especially,” Kikaha said. “We don’t make plays on our own. Everybody sets us up for success, so it belongs to our entire defense.”

But these three were by far the most productive. Shelton, a 6-foot-2, 339-pound senior defensive tackle, finished the regular season with 86 tackles, nine sacks and 16.5 tackles for

SAN DIEGO — Keenan Allen, the San Diego Chargers’ leading receiver, has a broken right collarbone, the team said Tuesday.

Allen, who has 77 catches for 783 yards and four touchdowns this season, also injured his right ankle during the Chargers’ loss Sunday to the Denver Broncos.

“It says a lot about his toughness and the type of player that he is,” Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. “He didn’t say a word about it on Sunday.”

But on Monday morning, Allen, a second-year pro, knew something was wrong.

“My shoulder was hurt during the game, but I wasn’t too worried about it more than I was the ankle,” Allen said.

McCoy said the Chargers have no plans to put Allen on injured reserve.

With Allen’s status in doubt for Saturday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Chargers will lean more on wide receivers Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal. The same goes for their backups, Seyi Ajirotutu and Dontrelle Inman.

“I do feel like they’re going to get the job done,” Allen said.

Allen’s injury was only the latest blow for the Chargers, who have lost their last two games and have gone from controlling their destiny in the wild-card race to needing to win their final two games and getting help from other teams to return to the playoffs.

“We’ll miss him,” quarterback Philip Rivers said. “But we do have confidence in Tutu and Dontrelle. It does affect us, no doubt. But we feel good with the four guys we have.”

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington’s Shaq Thompson (7) was selected to the AP All-America first-team as an all-purpose player.

loss, which qualifies as remarkable production for a nose tackle. He is projected as a likely first-round NFL draft pick.

“It’s just an exciting thing to know we made history at the University of Washington,” Shelton said.

Thompson, a junior, was selected by the AP as an allpurpose player. He totaled 71 tackles, four defensive touchdowns — a school record — and three forced fumbles as a linebacker, and rushed for 456 yards (7.5 yards per carry) as a running back. His two-way efforts earned him the Paul Hornung Award, given annually to the nation’s most versatile player.

He is expected to enter the NFL draft after this season —– a first-round selection might await — but he said Tuesday that he’ll wait until after the Cactus Bowl

(Jan. 2 vs. Oklahoma State) to make a decision.

“I had a lot of fun, not just offense and defense, but being out there with my guys,” Thompson said. “My brothers, my family. I love playing with them.

I love practicing with them. This last game’s going to be fun.”

Kikaha might be the most decorated of the three. He leads the nation with 18 sacks and 24 tackles for loss — both singleseason school records — and his 35 career sacks set a UW record, too. Kikaha, a fifth-year senior from Hau’ula, Hawaii, was a finalist for the Butkus Award, the Rotary Lombardi Award, the Ted Hendricks Award, the Lott IMPACT Trophy and the Polynesian Player of the Year award.

“My first reaction is, they finally got it right,” Huskies head coach Chris Petersen said. “I

think these things are so political so often. A lot of these awards go to the best player on the best teams and those type of things, but I think these are three guys that are truly deserving.”

The AP’s All-America team is one of five that help determine whether a player may be labeled a “consensus” All-American. To earn that honor, a player must be named first-team All-America by at least three of five recognized outlets — the AP, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the American Football Coaches Association, the Football Writers Association of America, and Sporting News.

Kikaha was named first-team All-America by Walter Camp, and Shelton was named second-team.

The FWAA, AFCA and Sporting News have yet to announce their All-America selections.

Wilson up for Payton Award NEW YORK — Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is one 32 players eligible for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. Named for the late Hall of Fame running back, the award recognizes a player’s community service and performance on the field. Each team nominates a player.

Seminole says Winston better than Mariota

By Brendan Sonnone Orlando Sentinel

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — FSU’s Jalen Ramsey does not fear Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.

He respects him, sure.

But Ramsey does not anticipate being in awe when he finds himself lined up across from the Heisman Trophy winner. After all, the FSU defensive back sees another Heisman recipient up close daily.

“That doesn’t really matter to me,” Ramsey said when asked about Mariota, who won the Heisman Trophy Saturday night. “Jameis Winston is the best player in America.

We go against him every day in practice.”

Ramsey and No. 3 FSU (13-0) began preparing for Mariota and Oregon’s spread offense on Sunday. The Seminoles face the No. 2 Ducks (12-1) in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1.

There is an understanding

Mariners From Page C1

But if the Braves are now willing to accept a package built around lower-level pitching prospects such as Edwin Diaz or Victor Sanchez ... that’s a different matter.

Further, because of other trades and signings, the Braves now see the Mariners and San Diego Padres as their best potential trade partners for Upton.

Finally, from all appearances, the Braves appear determined to trade Upton who, still just 27, is an eight-year veteran who batted .270 last season with 29 homers and 102 RBI in 154 games.

Make no mistake: Diaz, 20, and Sanchez, 19, are legitimate prospects. But Diaz hasn’t pitched above Lo-A Clinton, while Sanchez spent last season at Double-A Jackson.

Add this: Any package to acquire Upton would, almost certainly, include other pieces from the Mariners’ system. (For example, would the Mariners be willing to put D.J.

and appreciation for what Mariota has accomplished, but FSU players said they will not be paralyzed by the dual-threat signal caller.

“He’s a good quarterback,” FSU linebacker Reggie Northrup said.

“He’s smart, he knows how to read defenses.

He’s fast. If he doesn’t see his guys open, he knows how to find the opening and take it down the field.

Most of the time, when he does scramble, he always gets the first down or he might score. So that’s what we’re working on, containing him.”

Containing and stopping Mariota are two vastly different objectives, with the latter perhaps being an impossible task.

The junior has thrown for 38 touchdowns to just two interceptions, and has added another 14 scores with his legs. In three years as a starter, Mariota has lost just four

games.

But Winston, who finished sixth in Heisman voting this season after seeing an increase in interceptions and a decrease in touchdowns from last year, has won every game he’s started since arriving at FSU. FSU defenders are aware that the mobile Mariota — who has 2,136 rushing yards in three seasons — offers up a very different skill set than Winston.

The Ducks’ offense is predicated on balance and uses play-action to freeze defenders. Mariota has developed into a wizard at disguising plays and taking advantage of over-anxious defenses by throwing or passing.

“He has pretty good speed for a quarterback,” FSU linebacker Terrance Smith said. “To be able to out-run the D-ends, the linebackers and even the defensive backs,you usually don’t see that from a quarterback.”

Peterson on the table? My guess is no.)

It’s also worth remembering the Mariners, whatever their perceived need for a right fielder, believe they already boosted their lineup significantly by signing free-agent Nelson Cruz, who led the majors last season in home runs.

Before the Cruz signing, club officials talked of “needing” to do something to improve their attack. There was a sense of urgency. Since Cruz signed, the tone shifted to “wanting” to do something further “if it made sense.”

Privately, some club officials concede they reluctantly might have surrendered Walker, or someone similar, if necessary to land the first big bat on their off-season checklist.

They show no willingness to make such a sacrifice for the second bat even if the status quo projects as a James Jones/ Stefen Romero platoon in right field.

But if the key element in landing that second bat is a pitcher such as Diaz or Sanchez ... well, the

Mariners appear reasonably well-stocked in their rotation for the coming years.

Felix Hernandez is signed through 2019, and the club controls James Paxton and Roenis Elias for five more years, and Walker and a now-healthy Danny Hultzen for six years.

Upton is under contract next season for $14.5 million. While he can walk after the season, the Mariners could extend a qualifying offer (which figures to be roughly $16 million).

Such an offer might aid efforts to retain Upton.

But if he signs elsewhere, the Mariners get a compensatory pick between the first and second rounds of the 2016 draft to, effectively, replace a prospect they’d now surrender.

That’s the scuttlebutt, anyway.

One final point to remember: If the Braves find a better offer from the Padres, that would likely increase San Diego’s efforts to trade outfielder Seth Smith.

The Mariners have shown interest in Smith.

Boyle From Page C1

that means we’re going to give everything we’ve got, try to go all out to get a win and take it to the next week.”

But just because Carroll and the Seahawks won’t look ahead, that doesn’t mean we can’t. And while the scenarios for home-field advantage have to wait another week, the Seahawks have four options to clinch a playoff berth this week, so let’s take a look at those.

1. Seahawks win and Green Bay loses at Tampa Bay (2-12).

Likelihood of this happening: Slim to none. The Seahawks are a heavy favorite despite playing on the road against an 11-3 team that is undefeated at home — the Cardinals being down to a thirdstring quarterback tends to scare odds makers and bettors a bit. So that half of the equation is very doable. However, expecting Tampa Bay, even at home, to beat a motivated Packers squad is asking a lot.

2. Seahawks win and Detroit loses at Chicago (5-9).

Likelihood of this happening: Again, very unlikely. Did you watch the Bears play on Monday Night Football this week? Like Green Bay, the Lions have everything to play for, while Chicago looked very much like a team ready for its season to be over. The Lions have been prone to inconsistent play at time, so a loss isn’t out of the question, but don’t bet on it.

In these two scenarios, the Seahawks, with 11 wins, are guaranteed to at least match the record of Green Bay or Detroit if that team loses, and Seattle has the tiebreaker against both, hence the ability to clinch even with a Week 17 loss. But if you are of the belief that the Seahawks can win out, then you should actually be pulling for Green Bay and Detroit to win this week, even if it means waiting another week for the Seahawks to clinch a playoff spot. If the Seahawks do finish 12-4, and if Green Bay and Detroit both win this week, that means the only way Seattle can get that two-way tie with

Dallas is if the Packers and Lions tie in their Week 17 battle for the NFC North.

3. Seahawks win and Philadelphia (9-5) loses at Washington (3-11).

Likelihood of this happening: Hahahahaha. Oh, you want a real answer? OK, well Washington has lost six in a row. It has a coach who can’t make up his mind about his quarterback and who regularly and openly criticizes the current starter, Robert Griffin III. And Washington has lost by double digits in four of its six consecutive losses. As a team fighting with the Jets for the title of NFL’s Most Dysfunctional Franchise, Washington isn’t going to beat the Eagles, who are fighting for their playoff lives.

This scenario gets the Seahawks in the playoffs because Philadelphia, with a sixth loss, can’t top Dallas in the NFC East. And if the Seahawks were to finish 10-6, they at worst would be tied for a Wild Card berth with some combination of Philadelphia if it wins in Week 17, and if Green Bay or Detroit loses out, that team as well — and the Seahawks would have a tiebreaker over all three.

4. Philadelphia loses and Dallas (10-4) wins at home against Indianapolis (10-4).

Likelihood of this happening: (see above cackling at the notion of a Washington victory). Dallas, however, could easily lose to the Colts, especially when you consider that all four of the Cowboys’ losses this season have come at home.

This scenario does not require a Seahawks’ victory over Arizona to clinch a playoff berth. If the Eagles lose, Dallas clinches the NFC East and the Eagles take a sixth loss, meaning even if the Seahawks lose their next two and finish 10-6, they would tie Philadelphia. Seattle holds the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Eagles, making the Seahawks one of the two WildCard teams along with whoever doesn’t win the North between Detroit and Green Bay. Seahawks fans should root against this scenario, however, because Dallas, as noted above, is the only team that can win a tiebreaker with Seattle for the No. 1 seed.

So a Dallas loss to the Colts would put the Seahawks in complete control of their destiny at 12-4.

with the Seagulls’ first pin of the meet, taking care of Micah Palmaffy in 2:40. Bagdadi’s pin gave Everett its first lead at 11-9, but it didn’t last long.

In one of the finest — and most controversial — matches of the night, Glacier Peak senior Griffin Thomas scored a two-point takedown as time expired to defeat Everett’s Jasen Bergesen. Everett disputed the call and after a long delay, the official decided to stand by his original call. Everett head coach Brien Elliot notified the official that he was officially protesting the call to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, but the meet continued with Thomas giving the Grizzlies a 12-11 lead.

Everett had another team point deducted after Thomas’ victory to make the score 12-10.

Glacier Peak senior Marcus Beccera increased that lead by pinning Everett’s Anthony Brown. Brown held a commanding 10-2 lead before Beccera scored two points with a reversal and managed to pin Brown with just 15 seconds remaining in the third period.

Beccera’s victory gave Glacier Peak an 18-10 lead.

“It puts points on the board,” Mossburg said.

“That counts for a lot. It gets the guys going and gets them fired up a little bit more. It helped us with our momentum. It was huge for those guys to do what they did.”

Two matches later, senior Mosese Fifita pinned Everett’s Cash Hatem in 19 seconds.

“I could say a lot, and then at the same time there’s not much to say,” Mossburg said. “He goes out there and he’s one of the hardest workers in the room. ... I don’t think he’s wrestled much over a minute this year in a match. He’s a competitor.

It’s fun to watch him.”

Everett answered Fifita’s victory with two of its own and actually took a 25-24 lead, but Glacier Peak responded with consecutive pins.

Sophomore Stefano McKinney’s pin of Everett freshman Riley Solheim clinched ensured a Glacier Peak victory.

Stanwood edges Shorecrest 65-64 in thriller Herald staff STANWOOD — Carlton McDonald sank the second of two free throws with .4 seconds remaining in the game to lift the Stanwood boys basketball team to a 65-64 non-conference victory over Shorecrest on Tuesday night in a rematch of last year’s district championship game, which was won by the Scots.

McDonald was fouled going up for an offensive rebound, and missed the first free throw before hitting the second to send the Spartans (4-2) to the win.

“He made the tough one,” Stanwood coach Zach Ward said of McDonald. “He’s one of my best freethrow shooters, but we shoot enough of them that I would put any of my guys up there.”

Shorecrest’s Drew Magaoay’s 27 points led all scorers, and Stanwood failed in its attempt to hold him under 20 for the game. Magaoay erupted for 12 of the Scots’ 19 points in the third quarter and scored 18 of his points in the second half as the teams went into the fourth quarter tied at 45.

“They located him in different spots on the floor in the second half and we had a tough time matching up and communicating on defense,” Ward said.

Stanwood was balanced offensively with three double-digit scorers, and had success breaking down Shorecrest’s zone defense.

Karsten Chaplik scored 18 points to lead the Spartans, who were desperate for a win after a 63-47 loss at Mercer Island last Friday.

“I told the guys after the game that I don’t care about anything else but a win,” Ward said. “We wanted to bounce back after a disappointing showing at Mercer Island when we weren’t very good. We had stretches where we struggled offensively tonight, but when were at our best when we shared the ball.”

Kamiak 75, Lake Stevens 72 (OT) LAKE STEVENS — Gavin Patrick scored a game-high 27 points, including five in the overtime period, to give Kamiak a victory over Lake Stevens in a Wesco 4A contest. “(Patrick) played really well,” Lake Stevens head coach Mark Hein said. “He went to the glass well, he hit some midrange shots, he played extremely well.”

Lake Stevens held the lead on the final possession of the fourth quarter after Dante Lewis sank two free throws to put the Vikings up three, but Chance Lord was fouled on a 3-pointer with one second remaining and the senior guard knocked down all three free throws to give the Knights new hope.

running jump shot from Donavan Sellgren that proved to be the game-winner with 12 seconds remaining.

Sellgren, who normally wears jersey No. 4 for the Eagles, had to switch to No. 42 in the third quarter because of blood on his jersey. The change in jerseys didn’t affect Sellgren’s play; he led his team with a game-high 16 points.

“He just wants to play. For him, I’m really proud of Donavan and I really think he’s come a long way,” Brown said. “He’s a young guy — he’s only a junior. So we’re excited about the future for him.”

Drew Bryson scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds, Nathan Aune netted 12 points and five rebounds — including six straight points in a 23-second span to open the third quarter — and Brennon Wiersma added 10 points for Arlington (5-0).

“I think we have gamers,” Brown said. “We’re not very experienced yet but we have gamers. We have kids who want to play, who want to take the shot. ... I can go all the way down the line. We got contributions from everyone.”

Altenberger led Mountlake Terrace (2-4) with 15 points. Derek Anyimah scored 11 points, Shimron Masih had 10 points and eight rebounds and Ryan LaCasse notched eight points and eight rebounds.

“We’ve never had a team this inexperienced, but I thought the kids showed a good fight against a really good basketball team — a really good program,” said Mountlake Terrace head coach Nalin Sood. “Coming up here and getting to play a game in that atmosphere — in that gym — there really is no other way to simulate it. ... They’re a good basketball team and we’ve got to go compete against them, and I thought we did that for the most part.”

LaCasse was playing after popping his shoulder out of its socket in a game against Marysville Pilchuck on Dec. 5. LaCasse returned in the second half of that game and has continued to battle for the Hawks ever since.

“You want a picture in the dictionary next to ‘toughness’ it should be of Ryan. It’s just unbelievable how that guy competes,” Sood said. “I asked the guys the other day in practice, ‘If you had to bet $1,000 before a game that one thing would happen, what would it be?’ And the kids raised their hand (and said), ‘That Ryan will play tough.’”

Brown praised Sood and his Hawks, acknowledging that Mountlake Terrace is a tough team that Arlington couldn’t quite put away.

“They wouldn’t go away,” Brown said. “Those are the kind of teams you’ve got to be careful with. I always want to win but I want to make sure that we understand the value of the ball and the value of taking care of the ball. Nalin does an incredible job and those kids have improved, improved, improved, and they’re getting better and better. They exposed some of our weaknesses tonight.”

The Arlington coach said that although his team is undefeated this season, the Eagles’ fans still haven’t seen the best of the Arlington basketball team.

“We have so much room to grow,” Brown said. “I’m happy to be 5-0. Not to take anything away from anybody that we’ve played, but I feel like we have another gear in us. I really do.”

Double the celebration

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Gingerbread cake a perfect solution to pesky December birthdays

DEB LINDSEY / THE WASHINGTON POST

This version of Shepherd’s pie has a heaping helping of vegetables.

Shepherd’s pie is classic comfort food

ROSE McAVOY

O

ur family has two December birthdays. I am not one to shy away from a reason to celebrate, but December birthdays do come with their own set of challenges.

“Happy Birthday! Now say goodbye to your presents and get in the car. We’re spending Christmas at Grandma’s house and we need to beat the traffic.”

This was the sound track to my husband’s childhood birthdays. At least the way he remembers them. Ask Mike about the birthdays of his youth and he’ll tell you a tale of woe.

His tragic story is practically stolen from the pages of Dickens, or perhaps Shepherd. That is, Jean Shepherd, author of “A Christmas Story.”

Not only does his birthday fall two days before Baby Jesus’s, it trails two days after his older brother. In his experience, Mike often shares his birthday with the last day of school or work before everyone scatters to their families for the holidays. Good luck having a party and getting your buddies to show up two days before Christmas.

When it comes to calendar placement, he’ll tell you, his birthday is one of the shortest straws a kid can draw. If there had been walking involved, it would have been uphill both ways.

Fortunately, our son’s birthday landed during the first half of the month. He doesn’t have to compete with the holiday itself. However, since pre-Christmas Saturdays are generally double-booked, between Santa pictures and family time, by the beginning of November, rounding up a halfdozen preschool friends can be a bit tricky.

A few weeks ago I spied a fallen eyelash on my son’s cheek. I pressed my finger to the lash and held it out for him to make a wish. Four-yearolds have great respect for the power of a wish. He sucked in a breath, his smooth face nearly creased with thought, then he

My take on shepherd’s pie has everything you want from the classic casserole: a layer of savory lamb under a blanket of creamy mashed potatoes, all baked until bubbling with undeniable comfort appeal. But there is more to this version than meets the eye.

Here, each luscious layer has a helping of vegetables.

Chopped sauteed mushrooms add meaty texture and flavor that meld with the lamb, allowing for crumbles of meat in every bite, yet a more modest helping of animal protein.

The potato layer incorporates cauliflower, which blends seamlessly into the mash, lightening it almost undetectably. No extra effort is involved, because the potatoes and cauliflower are steamed in the same pot before they are whipped together.

I’m not in the camp that says you need to hide vegetables to get people to eat them. Rather, I think they should be celebrated front and center, and eaten because they are appealing.

But vegetables also happen to blend well into so many traditional dishes, like this one, and research indicates that sneaking them in really works to boost nutrition and reduce calories.

I know it did the trick for my family. When I served this at home for the first time, my meat-and-potatoes husband was practically giddy with surprise when I told him how many vegetables were in the dish.

exhaled and whispered, “I wish we had a gingerbread house for Christmas.” The simple wish threw me for a loop — I had been expecting something more pie in the sky.

Inspired by his request, I asked if he would like to have a gingerbread party for his upcoming birthday. Not only was he on board, he was

thrilled. I was too. It meant we had found a way to combine our family celebration with the theme of the season. If only all his wishes were this easy to grant.

I have no idea if we will be able to give our son a childhood free of birthday baggage.

If it isn’t birthdays, we will surely be utter failures in some

respect. As for his father, I’m going to stick with the gingerbread theme all month. He’ll find all 43 of his candles atop a luscious Christmas cake.

I’ll even allow him to take his new toys to Grandma’s house — if he asks nicely.

How to make holiday cookies extra festive

By Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Cookies are good. Icing is good. And according to baker Christy Augustin, that is important to remember when you try to decorate cookies.

“Just forgive yourself. It’s going to taste great even if it doesn’t look good. It just takes practice,” she said.

Augustin is co-owner of Pint Size Bakery & Coffee in St. Louis.

The bakery is in the process of making hundreds of decorated cookies for this holiday season, but Augustin said the process is easy enough that most home cooks can do it themselves.

Begin with a sturdy cookie, one that is easy to work with. At Pint Size, that is often a gingerbread or a sugar cookie. They roll the dough out about ¼-inch thick and use a cookie cutter for specific shapes.

tree or Santa hat, you can simply cut out a circle about 6 inches in diameter. At the bakery they use a round cookie cutter, but you can use anything from an upside-down bowl to a coffee can, she said. Next, slice the circular dough into 6 or 8 equal-size

wedges and bake them at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on their size.

For the decorations, she uses royal icing, a mixture of powdered sugar, cream of tartar and egg whites — if you don’t have the egg whites, you can buy

meringue powder and mix it with water, she said. Color the icing with food coloring or, preferably, food coloring gel. She uses green for Christmas trees and red for Santa hats.

“It’s really important to keep the icing from drying out. So we (cover it with) a damp paper towel. It will keep it from getting crusty on top,” Augustin said.

Most professional bakers prefer to pipe an outline of icing on the edges of their cookies and then fill the space in between, she said, but she prefers the method explained by cookbook author Julia M. Usher. She just spreads the icing on top of the cookie with the back of a spoon. Then she allows the icing to dry uncovered at room temperature for a day, which makes the cookies easier to handle and avoids any unfortunate instances of poking your finger into the wet icing.

11⁄2 pounds (unpeeled) Yukon Gold or creamery potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 small head cauliflower (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets 2⁄3 cup low-fat milk (1 percent) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 11⁄4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 pound lean ground lamb 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 8 ounces white button mushrooms, stemmed, cleaned and finely chopped 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (may substitute 1 teaspoon dried) 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup no-salt-added beef broth 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup frozen green peas Make ahead: The unbaked casserole can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Add 15 to 20 minutes’ baking time when the shepherd’s pie goes straight from the refrigerator to the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Have a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or casserole at hand.

Place the potatoes in a large steamer basket over boiling water in a pot; cover and steam for 10 minutes on mediumhigh heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket; cover and steam for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

Remove the steamer basket and drain the pot; return the pot to the stove top (off the heat). Transfer the still-hot vegetables to the pot; use a potato masher to mash them to the consistency you prefer.

Combine the milk and butter in a microwave-safe measuring cup; microwave on LOW just until heated through and the butter has melted (do not boil).

Stir into the mashed mixture, along with 3 ⁄4 teaspoon of the salt.

Meanwhile, cook the ground lamb in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned,

NORTHWEST WINES | Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue

Woodinville’s Brian Carter excels with Washington blends

W

ANDY PERDUE

Brian Carter, owner of Brian Carter Cellars, walks through Klipsun Vineyard on Washington’s Red Mountain during harvest. He was collecting samples of grapes before deciding when he wanted to pick Cabernet Sauvignon.

the Northwest Wine Summit and the Washington State Wine Competition.

Here are several Carter wines we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the winery directly.

Brian Carter Cellars 2012 Abracadabra, Columbia Valley, $22: Brian Carter’s entry-level red wine truly is a magical and eclectic blend of 12 varieties, leading with

Cabernet Sauvignon (28 percent), Merlot (19 percent) and Syrah (12 percent). It takes on a theme of dark purple fruit, starting with aromas of blueberry taffy and black currant that are joined by lilac, lavender and roasted coffee.

There’s a ton of fruit sitting in the mouth, featuring sweet blueberry and elderberry, followed by Bing cherry skin tannins and pepper.

Potential pairings include pasta,

grilled pizza or Rabbit Cacciatore.

(14 percent) Brian Carter Cellars 2010 Byzance, Columbia Valley, $34: This Southern Rhône blend leads with Grenache (58 percent), followed

by Syrah (18 percent), Mourvèdre (18 percent), Counoise (4 percent) and Cinsault. There’s a gamy quality to the nose of dark blueberry, mulberry, mocha and roasted coffee. Its structure features delicious acidity and medium tannins among flavors of black currant, elderberry and blueberry. In the back, there’s a fun blend of black plum skins, anise and black olive.

Carter shows so much pride in this release that he asks fans to enjoy this alongside a bottle from Châteauneuf-du-Pape then send him a note describing their impressions. (14.2 percent) Brian Carter Cellars 2011 Opulento, Yakima Valley, $22: This high-octane dessert wine made in the Portuguese tradition uses such red varieties as Souzão (36 percent), Touriga Naçional (33 percent), Tinta Cão and Tinta Roriz. Whiffs of toasted marshmallow, Nutella, coconut and brown sugar are followed by plums, Raisinet, agave nectar and steamed milk. Big, rich flavors focus on black plum, dark toast and

Next comes the piping. For a Christmas tree, she zig-zags a line of light green icing down the cookie, to represent the branches, and carefully places sugar pearls at strategic spots to suggest ornaments. For Santa’s hats, she pipes white frosting across the bottom to look like white fur and adds a dot of white on top to represent a fluffy puffball. A sprinkling of nonpareils over the white parts adds sparkle.

What is the seemingly universal appeal of cookies during the holidays?

“A lot of people give cookies as gifts. It’s easy,” Hoormann said. “And at the holidays, you give yourself a little slack so you can have that cookie.”

Frosted gingerbread cake ½ cup low fat buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1½ cups whole wheat flour ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground allspice 1 tablespoon grated ginger root 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed ½ cup unsulphured molasses 2 large eggs

ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ / ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Christy Augustin pipes icing onto a gingerbread cookies decorated with red royal icing to look like Santa hats.

Fresh ginger, rich molasses and aromatic spices make this gingerbread cake a treat worthy of any winter celebration.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your pan (see note) by lining the bottom with parchment paper and brushing a little of the melted butter around the sides.

Pour vanilla into the buttermilk and set aside.

Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Stir in grated ginger and set aside.

Use an electric stand or hand mixer and a medium bowl to combine the brown sugar and melted butter. Mix on medium speed, scraping sides as needed until butter and sugar are fully blended and the color lightens.

Add the eggs one at a time. Mix at low speed and fully combine each egg before

moving on. Continue on low speed and add the molasses.

Increase mixer to medium speed.

Alternately add the flour and buttermilk.

Add the flour in thirds so it is the first and last addition. Mix just until the batter is a uniform color.

Pour completed batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is firm and a probe or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before releasing the sides. Slide the cake off the base and leave it to cool on a rack. Cool the cake completely before frosting the top.

Notes: Gingerbread will keep up to a week in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly.

This recipe may be made in a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. One loaf yields 10 to 12 large slices.

Prep time: 15 minutes. Cook time: 50

Heat the oil in the (same) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, stirring to coat; cover and cook for about 8 minutes, until softened. Add the mushrooms and thyme; cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and their released moisture has evaporated, about 8 minutes.

Return the ground lamb to the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the skillet mixture; cook over medium heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, then pour in the broth and add the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, stirring to incorporate. Once the mixture

hen Brian Carter decided to make his way back to the Pacific Northwest, Mount St. Helens had just erupted and there wasn’t much of a wine industry north of the Columbia River.

But the Oregon native was determined to make his mark when he came to the Seattle area in 1980, and he has accomplished greatness in the decades since.

Carter was the head winemaker for Paul Thomas Wines and Washington Hills/Apex Cellars before launching his own brand in the late 1990s and establishing his winery in Woodinville in 2002 with business partner Michael Stevens.

When Carter opened his tasting room not far from Ste. Michelle, he was one of the only wineries there.

Today, Woodinville has more than 100 tasting rooms.

Carter’s focus is on blends, and today he crafts no fewer than 10 different wines. All are blends that focus on established Old World regions, including Bordeaux, Tuscany, the Douro Valley and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

And he does them all extremely well. In 2014, his wines have won best of show in three regional competitions, including the Seattle Wine & Food Experience,

Long ago, it was against the law for Jewish people to study their religion. If a group of people studying saw soldiers, they put their books away, took out a spinning top and played a game with a dreidel (DRAY-duhl). A dreidel has four sides. Each side has a Hebrew letter. Circle every other letter to find out what the Hebrew letters stand for.

Internet porn taking over widower’s life

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I am a 58-year-old recent widower. My wife and I were very happy for 29 years, and that included a satisfying sex life. Although I am not ready to date yet, I continue to have a strong sex drive.

I’m finding the Internet is a good alternative to “hooking up” at this time. However, I’m beginning to wonder if I have crossed a line into spending too much time online.

My question is, how much is too much? I want to be healthy and in balance with this, but for the first time, I understand how people can become addicted to Internet porn.

Guidelines, please? — Just Wondering In Georgia Dear Just Wondering: You have my sympathy for your loss. Because you are concerned enough about the amount of time you’re spending on adult Internet sites that you’re asking me about it, I think we both know that you’re not spending enough time in the real world. If this has become so much of a preoccupation that you’re substituting porn for relationships with real people, then you are “overdosing” and could benefit from talking to a psychologist about it. (You might find it easier to confide in one who’s male.)

Dear Abby: During a disagreement with my boyfriend, he called me a “b—.”

We have been together for 13 years, and he has never disrespected or degraded me that way before. He apologized later and said what he meant was I was acting like one (as if that’s any better), but I’m having a hard time getting past this.

When he called me that, I was stunned. I felt nauseated the rest of the day, as if he had literally punched me in the stomach. Am I

DEAR ABBY wrong to react this way? Am I making a big deal out of it, and should I just accept his apology and let it go? I just feel so hurt. — Degraded In Pennsylvania Dear Degraded: People often say things they don’t mean — or something they later regret — in the heat of an argument. One slip of the tongue after 13 years together shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Accept his apology and move on already.

Dear Abby: I have a coworker who is deaf. We eat lunch together every day and usually get along well.

She recently told me that when she goes out with friends, she gets drunk and then drives herself home. I tried explaining why that’s not a good idea, but she got defensive and told me she’s a grown woman and not to lecture her because it’s her decision. I have now lost so much respect for her that I’m no longer comfortable eating with her. What should I do? — Sober In San Diego Dear Sober: A deaf person has extra challenges while driving and has to be extra safety-conscious behind the wheel. Add booze to that equation, and it could mean disaster. You have spoken your mind and she has spoken hers.

Because you’re no longer comfortable eating with her, find another luncheon companion.

BRIDGE After a match, one team was comparing results, and the pair who had sat East-West expected today’s deal to be tied.

“Nothing to that one. They bid four spades, down one.

The contract was unmakable.”

“Four spades was cold,” insisted their teammate who had been South at the other table.

“You’re kidding. Declarer had three diamonds and a club to lose.”

Do you think South’s game was cold?

DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ A K 10 9 6 ♥ A 4 ◆ 9 5 2 ♣ A K 3. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: You may well have a slam, but this is a questionable hand for a jump-shift to two spades. You may need bidding room to locate, or rule out, a playable trump fit.

Bid one spade. If the hand were A K 10 9 6, A 4, K 5 2, A 4 3, I would favor a jump to two spades, followed by a bid of notrump, but that plan isn’t attractive with weak diamonds.

at both tables, but at the second table, South played low from dummy, and when East signaled with the eight, South played low from his hand!

Can you blame West for leading another heart? South produced the ace and took the ace of trumps and the A-K of clubs. He led a trump to dummy’s jack, discarded his last club on the king of hearts and ruffed a club. When the clubs split 3-3.

GRANDPARENTING

You can kiss handwriting goodbye

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder Dear Grandparenting: It is not terribly rare to run across handwriting you cannot read. Doctors come to mind. My grandchildren are not old enough or rich enough for medical school but they sure have the handwriting part down pat. It is just AWFUL! They can’t write right! At their age, I don’t expect perfection. I can excuse grammar and punctuation mistakes. But it’s often illegible, with words run together and letters poorly formed. Penmanship is a mystery to my grandchildren and they don’t have any clues.

Since I cherish handwritten family letters, I’ve made it clear that my grandchildren must send me a little note in their best handwriting telling me one thing they want for Christmas, and why they want it. They struggle to write it and I to read it. The letters are filled with eraser marks and things scratched out. At times their parents must step in and edit them, crossing out this or adding that. Last year my grandson Jonah asked for a pen and pencil set. It was all I could to ask him why? It’s fairly obvious he will

never have any use for it. If my grandchildren’s penmanship is representative of America’s youth, longhand is headed for extinction.

Maybe one day soon America will be a nation of adults who write like children. What’s going on and what’s being done about it? Betty Whittaker, Boston, MA Dear Betty: What’s going on is the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a sweeping 2009 educational initiative orchestrated by America’s governors and business leaders to ensure that high-school graduates have the skills to compete in the global economy. Incentivized by federal grants, CCSS was adopted by 44 states. The standards specify what students are expected to know at the end of end of every grade of their educational journey in grades K-12. Predictably, handwriting was a casualty of the race to the top the new digital world order. CCSS includes standards for legible manuscript writing in kindergarten and grade 1, but that’s where it stops being taught.

As the march of computer technology invades more aspects of school and daily life, it becomes that much harder to argue that penmanship retains an essential

SUPER QUIZ Score 1 point for each correct answer on the Freshman Level, 2 points on the Graduate Level and 3 points on the Ph.D. Level.

role. Grandparents nostalgic for handwritten letters may take it for granted, but the motor and cognitive skills longhand requires take many months of practice to master. Without instruction, you can kiss longhand goodbye.

Is this progress or a step backwards? Research suggests writing longhand stimulates retention and thought processes in ways that typing does not, and people still attach negative judgments to sloppy handwriting. Grandparents who advocate keeping cursive writing on high school curriculums should contact their elected representatives. A handful of states that initially adopted CCSS have since taken steps to repeal or replace its standards.

Grand Remark Of The Week When Silver Fox from Fishkill, New York, sent out resumes looking for part-time work, he “almost felt like including grandparenting as a skill, because I’m the best and it’s hard work at times.”

Assault to be clarified in Dunham book NEW YORK — A section from Lena Dunham’s “Not That Kind of Girl” that recounts an alleged assault while she was in college is being changed to make clear that the assailant’s name is a pseudonym.

Random House announced last week that both the digital edition and future print editions of Dunham’s best-selling memoir will include the clarification. The book already included a disclaimer saying that some

names and details had been changed, but did not say precisely that “Barry” was not the Lena real name of Dunham Denham’s alleged assailant.

The publisher’s announcement comes after an article last week from the conservative news site www.breitbart.com that challenged Dunham’s story

that she was attacked by a campus Republican. Breitbart reported that Dunham had an Oberlin classmate named “Barry” but neither he nor anyone else fully matched the description Dunham gave in the book.

In a statement issued Tuesday night through Buzzfeed, Dunham apologized for any discomfort the use of the pseudonym may have caused a former classmate. “‘Barry’ is a pseudonym, not the name of the man

who assaulted me, and any resemblance to a person with this name is an unfortunate and surreal coincidence. I am sorry about all he has experienced,” Dunham wrote.

“Speaking out was never about exposing the man who assaulted me. Rather, it was about exposing my shame, letting it dry out in the sun. I did not wish to be contacted by him or to open a criminal investigation.”

Shonda Rhimes receives leadership award Shonda Rhimes says she didn’t have to break through the glass ceiling to become a top TV showrunner because scores of smart, creative women before her paved the way.

The creator of “Scandal,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “How to Get Away With Murder” thanked her female predecessors as she accepted the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award last week at the Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment breakfast.

“When I finally hit that ceiling, I think it just exploded into dust,”

Rhimes said. “My sisters who came before me had already handled it.”

Former Paramount chief Sherry Lansing, for whom the award is named, confessed being “totally addicted” to “Scandal” and said Rhimes’ work reaches far beyond the small screen.

“Scandal” star and pretend president Tony Goldwyn presented the award, while real first lady Michelle Obama lauded Rhimes via video.

“Making it through the glass ceiling to the other side consisted of running

on the path created by other women’s footprints,” she said.

The 23rd annual event also featured a tribute to Joan Rivers by Melissa Rivers and Sarah Silverman.

Rivers, speaking publicly for the first time since her mother’s death in September, described Joan Rivers as a woman who loved to make people laugh and conquered any fears she had to do so. Melissa Rivers said her mother helped open doors for the women honored at the Power 100 breakfast.
