The Bellingham-based grocer is aiming to acquire the Safeway and Albertsons stores that are being sold as part of their planned merger.

By Oliver Lazenby Bellingham Business Journal

BELLINGHAM — Bellinghambased Haggen will acquire 146 Safeway and Albertsons stores throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona, pending approval by the Federal Trade Commission.

Albertsons and Safeway are planning to merge, and the grocery chains must sell the stores as part of a divestment required by the FTC. Haggen will go from having 18 stores with 16 pharmacies in Washington and Oregon to 164 grocery stores with 106 pharmacies along the West Coast. The company will also go from 2,000 employees to more than 10,000.

The deal would mean that Safeways in Everett and Oak Harbor and Albertsons stores in Snohomish and Monroe would switch to the Haggen brand.

“From my perspective it’s a great opportunity for Haggen and the businesses that support us,” said Haggen CEO John Clougher, who joined the company in October. “My goal is to grow Haggen and grow it in a healthy fashion.”

Haggen will convert all of the stores in the first half of 2015 if the deal receives approval early next year. Albertsons and Safeway employees, including the current

Teleia Hymes (center) and her daughter Elaiya Robinson, 2, wait with other families for the crew of the USS Rodney M Davis to disembark after the frigate’s final six-month deployment Friday at Naval Station Everett. The U.S. Navy plans to decommission the 27-year-old ship early in March and sell it to a foreign government. When it leaves, it will be the last to go of the three Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates formerly stationed here. After the frigates are gone, Naval Station Everett will still be homeport to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers — the USS Shoup and USS Momsen — and two Coast Guard cutters.

Michael Phelps pleads guilty Associated Press Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps avoided jail time Friday when a judge gave him probation for pleading guilty to a drunken driving charge for the second time in 10 years.

“You don’t need a lecture from the court,” Baltimore District Judge Nathan Braverman told Phelps. “If you haven’t gotten the message by now, or forget the message, the only option is jail.”

Probation allows the most decorated Olympian ever to focus on training for the 2016 Games in Rio De Janeiro, which would be his fifth. The 29-yearold came out of a year’s retirement with his sights set on Rio, and the plea is not expected to have any ill effect on those plans.

4 million watched first dog telethon Viewers donated more than $200,000 that will be distributed to eligible rescues.

Associated Press LOS ANGELES — More than 4,400 people filed adoption papers for homeless dogs during what was billed as the first all-star dog adoption telethon, producers said.

“If only half of those result in adoptions, that would be huge,” director Michael Levitt said.

Seventy dogs from rescues across the country were featured on the two-hour Thanksgiving night telecast — a show the producer see becoming a fixture in the future.

More than 4 million people tuned in to the show, which was co-hosted by actresses Hilary Swank and Jane Lynch, and aired on donated time from the Fox Network. Besides the permanent homes offered, 250 people signed up as foster parents for homeless dogs, Levitt said.

Swank said for her, the magic of “Cause for Paws: An All-Star Dog Spectacular” was “watching the dream of saving hundreds of dogs turn into the reality that became thousands as the awareness was raised of the severe homeless pet problem.”

She added the show was the best holiday gift she could receive.

Katie Sullivan and James Marquis, at their home in Costa Mesa, California, pose with their newly apopted dog, Octavia, a 2-year-old German shepherd featured in a segment of “Telethon Dogs” during a two-hour Thanksgiving night telecast.

Online: www.fox.com/ causeforpaws “Knowing that lives were saved as people opened their hearts and homes to new four-legged family members warms my heart and touches my soul more than you can imagine,” Swank said.

Levitt said the goal was to educate people in an entertaining way and show them the joy that comes from rescuing animals.

“There was one amazing comment after another posted on social media, including people who posted pictures of dogs they went out and rescued because of the show,” the director said.

Singer-actress Miley

Cyrus confirmed just three days before the show that she would be there, Levitt said. She agreed to do a segment on pit bulls, writing her own copy and doing her own research. It was a side of Cyrus some people have never seen, he said.

The director said he couldn’t imagine that there wouldn’t be more telethons because this one was so successful.

Tuskegee Airman Lowell Steward dies at 95 Associated Press Lowell Steward, a former member of the Tuskegee Airmen who flew well over 100 missions over Europe during World War II, has died in California. He was 95.

His son, Lowell Jr., said Steward died Wednesday of natural causes at a hospital in Ventura.

After graduating with a business degree from Santa Barbara College in 1941, Steward joined the Army Air Corps and trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama.

He was shipped to Italy in 1944 with the 100th

P-39 Airacobras and P-40 Warhawks. Later based in Ramitelli, Italy, he flew dozens more escort and strafing missions in P-51 Mustangs. He would fly 143 missions in all.

America’s first black military pilots faced an unprecedented level of scrutiny under racial segregation. As a result they held themselves to a higher standard, Steward often said.

“He would say, ‘We had to be better because we were looked at harder. The odds were stacked against us. Some people wanted us to fail,’ ” Lowell Jr. said.

Steward was ultimately awarded the Distinguished

Flying Cross.

After being discharged in 1946, he moved to Los Angeles and tried to buy a house, only to be repeatedly denied loans because he was black.

“After several encounters like that he said, ‘I need to figure out how to finance my own home.’ That’s when he went to real estate school,” Lowell Jr. said.

Steward became one of the first black real estate agents in Los Angeles and went on to a 40-year career in the industry.

He helped organize and later served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., a

County woman among first flu deaths The only other flu death in Washington so far this season was a man over 100 years old.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

Health officials reported the first two influenza deaths in Washington this season, one of whom was a woman from Snohomish County.

The woman was in her 50s, had been hospitalized

and had other health conditions as well as the flu, said Heather Thomas, a spokeswoman for the Snohomish Health District. No other information on the woman’s death was immediately available.

The second death was a King County man who was more than 100 years old, said Marquise Allen, a state Health Department spokesman.

The deaths follow warnings from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier

Free flu shots Uninsured and low-income adults can get the flu vaccine free during two upcoming events in Everett: Jan. 10: 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Xfinity Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave. Jan. 14: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at WorkSource Everett, 3201 Smith Ave. For more information, call the Snohomish Health District’s immunization clinic at 425-339-5220.

this month that this could be a severe year for flu. This past week, influenza was

reported to be widespread in Washington.

Clinics around

Snohomish County have reported an increase in flu cases.

“We’re saying that the flu season has arrived,” said Dr. Yuan-Po Tu, who tracks influenza at The Everett Clinic. The type of flu they’ve seen the most so far this year, called H3N2, tends to be more severe among the elderly and causes more hospitalizations, he said.

At Edmonds Family Medicine, there were as many suspected cases of influenza the first two weeks in December as in the entire

month of November, said Marcy Shimada, the clinic’s chief executive.

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett had one case of influenza in November last year and 11 this year. There were four people treated for influenza in the first week of December.

The symptoms of influenza are fever and chills, a cough, sore throat, muscle ache, headache and fatigue.

LAKE STEVENS — The city of Lake Stevens is paying a former police sergeant $325,000 to settle her lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation.

The final payment is due in January, public records show.

In the settlement, Julie Jamison, 46, agreed to resign and waived her right to future legal claims against the city and former Police Chief Randy Celori.

Both the city and Jamison have denied any wrongdoing.

Jamison wanted “to move on with her career goals and the defendants merely wish to buy their peace,” according to the settlement agreement.

Jamison worked as a police officer for 23 years It was a privilege to serve, and she always tried to bring empathy to the work, she said in an interview. She is deciding what’s next for her.

“My focus has always been to bring justice to those who have been harmed regardless of who is involved or their standing in the community,” she said.

Jamison said she’d never been the subject of an internal investigation or been disciplined. She has donated some of the settlement money to nonprofits in Snohomish County that serve children, including the Dawson Place Child Advocacy Center, which provides resources for child victims of abuse, she said.

Jamison also agreed to withdraw a public-records request filed by her attorney, who was paid $100,000 of the settlement.

The lawsuit was filed in November 2013 in Snohomish County Superior Court. Jamison alleged that Celori, who left the police department in 2012, had mishandled her sexual harassment claims involving a subordinate officer.

Jamison was told to work from home during the initial phases of an internal investigation instead of the man she accused.

She also was given extra work, a negative performance review and reassigned to a less desirable job. When a new police

Volunteers and Les Schwab employees unload trucks full of toys at Christmas House at the Everett Boys & Girls Club on Friday afternoon. Les Schwab locations from across the region delivered loads of toys collected at their stores. Saturday is their last day of operation for this season.

A gift under the tree

Thousands of presents collected for low-income children and teens

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

EVERETT — A line of volunteers passed big yellow bags from the back of a truck, through the gym door and onto a fast-growing pile along one wall.

The bags’ contents could be seen through the bright plastic: dolls, soccer balls, toy cars, stuffed animals, board games and art supplies. One volunteer rolled in a shiny new black and green bicycle.

“That’s 43 bikes,” someone announced, the words greeted by a cheer.

It took nine truckloads to deliver the hundreds of bags of toys collected by Les Schwabs around Snohomish County this month. Everything is going to local children through Christmas House, which takes donations from a number of businesses and service organizations throughout the year.

The nonprofit started in Everett 33 years ago to help

low-income families put presents under their trees for the holiday. For families who don’t have trees, the organization provides a few of those, too.

Volunteers arrange the donations into a makeshift store in the gym of the Everett Boys & Girls Club, 2316 12th St. Shopping at the store doesn’t cost anything. As long as parents can provide proof of income, their kids’ ages and that they live in Snohomish County, they are invited to pick out toys

for children 18 years old or younger.

Last year, Christmas House gave out more than 50,000 gifts for 9,064 children and teens.

They’re on track to hit those numbers again this year, said Rosemary Randall, one of the volunteer directors. Saturday is their last shopping day for this year.

MARYSVILLE — Detectives believe they have caught up with three culprits in the latest round of car thefts from local businesses.

On Monday, Marysville police were called to the Enterprise RentA-Car lot in the 9000 block of State Avenue after four cars turned up missing. The key-return drop box

A Bellingham woman, 30, was arrested in a stolen 2015 Nissan Altima in Marysville on Wednesday.

more common in children than adults.

Federal health officials say another reason for concern this year is that some viruses have mutated so they might not be affected by this season’s influenza vaccine. However, people who been vaccinated and become ill with influenza are likely to get a milder version that those who have not been vaccinated.

There’s still plenty of vaccine available for children and adults at local pharmacies, clinics and the Snohomish Health District.

It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to provide its best protection against the virus.

On Friday, cardboard boxes overflowed with plush animals, colorful hair styling kits and coveted “Frozen” figurines from the popular Disney movie. Coats were hung up on racks, bicycles lined up in rows.

“It’s like Santa just got here,” volunteer director Gregg Milne said, surveying the neatly sorted boxes and the yet-tobe-sorted mountain of yellow bags.

Christmas carols echoed in the gym while bags rustled and people talked and laughed. One woman started to sing, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

Rick Kvangnes, president of the Christmas House board of directors,

added a particularly large bag to the pile of incoming gifts. The weight of the bags signaled some big gifts inside, he said.

“It looked like Christmas about five trucks ago,” Kvangnes said.

Christmas House gave toys for 534 children Friday. They were gearing up for their last, busy day, Randall said. Anything that isn’t claimed will be stored for next year, giving the organization some supplies to open

again in early December 2015.

“What’s really incredible to me, besides all the effort, is toys collected in Snohomish County, delivered in Snohomish County, stay in Snohomish County with Snohomish County kids,” Kvangnes said.

“That’s just tremendous. This is Christmas for us.”

Weird weather lingers in Alaska’s largest city Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A week before Christmas, Alaska’s largest city should look like a postcard wonderland, and the last place you’d expect to see equipment making snow.

“We want Santa to bring snow, soon,” Terry Goodwin said as she hit a ski trail in Anchorage on Thursday near snowmaking machines churning out the white stuff.

A picturesque northern winter-scape is hardly the reality here as a spate of weird weather lingers in Anchorage, which is almost 2 feet behind the snowfall totals typical by this time. With just days to go until solstice Sunday signals the official start of winter, bare ground can be seen in places and temperatures have been averaging in the 30s, prompting a few hardy residents to take to the streets in T-shirts

and shorts.

For the most part, it’s even been too warm to make snow for local ski haunts because the machines would churn out slush. However, a slight dip in temperatures allowed the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage to manufacture powder Thursday on trails at the city’s Kincaid Park.

That will have to do until nature provides its own supply.

“It’s one of those things we have to weather through. Pardon the pun,” said Craig Norman, a trail groomer for the association.

By this time of year, Anchorage normally has nearly 30.9 inches of snowfall, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Ludwig. But the city has seen 10.3 inches this season from just two measurable snowfalls, with much of that melted down to a thin layer in many places.

Peru investigates Greenpeace activist Associated Press LIMA, Peru — A Peruvian prosecutor is investigating the suspected involvement of a Greenpeace activist in a publicity stunt that allegedly damaged the world-renowned Nazca lines.

Authorities have said the fragile site was damaged by footprints made when activists sneaked into the desert area Dec. 8. Acting to coincide with a U.N. conference on climate change held in Peru’s capital, the group laid out a message promoting clean energy beside one of the site’s most famous figures, a huge hummingbird.

Greenpeace Executive Director Kumi Naidoo told reporters Thursday night that prosecutor Patricia Begazo is conducting a preliminary investigation into Argentine activist Mauro Fernandez, who coordinates the organization’s Andean Climate and Energy Campaign.

Peruvian officials have said they would

seek charges for “attacking archaeological monuments,” a crime punishable by up to six years in prison.

Fernandez and other activists left Peru after the stunt. It is not yet clear whether Peru would ask

route, as well, in a public hearing preceding adoption of the plan.

“This alignment will get as many single-occupancy vehicles off the road and the maximum amount of ridership to our largest job center,” Stephanson said Friday. “There’s a significant need there. This is a win-win for the region.”

Sound Transit is working to bring light rail to Lynnwood by 2023 and potentially into Everett the following decade. Until this week, its board had not sketched a path for trains to travel into Everett.

A 2013 analysis of potential alignments showed that routing trains away from I-5 and through the industrial corridor in southwest Everett would not be the cheapest way to reach Everett, but it could wind up carrying the most riders.

That study estimated a Lynnwood-to-downtown Everett line passing Paine Field would stretch for 15.7 miles and cost up to $3.4 billion to build. A more direct

Saturday, 12.20.2014 A5

Lynnwood-to-downtown Everett connection along I-5 would cover 12.6 miles and cost up to $2.2 billion. For both routes, the cost rises to extend service to Everett Community College.

An estimated 5,000 to 7,000 more people will ride the longer route because it would serve the Boeing Co. and surrounding aerospace firms, where thousands of workers are employed.

It’s the state’s largest manufacturing area and is expected to have thousands of more workers in the future, Roberts said.

“Yes, this is a more expensive proposition,” he said. “This was the better route and it was pretty clear if you didn’t do it then you would need to come up with other ways to deal with the expected increase in traffic in this (manufacturing) area.”

There’s still a long way to go before the matter is settled.

An environmental study will be needed to nail down specifics of the route and identify where future stations might be.

More notably, there’s no money to pay for the extension north

from Lynnwood or for planned light-rail expansion to Tacoma and Redmond.

Sound Transit is asking the Legislature for the authority to put a measure on the ballot as soon as 2016 to raise the dollars needed for expansion — through a sales-tax increase, property tax assessment, a boost in car registration fees or some combination.

Board members are hopeful such a measure — referred to as Sound Transit 3 or ST3 — could generate between $9 billion and $15 billion.

Also Thursday, the board approved a $1.2 billion budget for 2015 that includes $19.7 million to replace 22 ST Express buses.

Five of those will be doubledecker buses to be used on routes between Snohomish County and Seattle.

There also is $16.3 million to finish preliminary engineering and begin final design of Lynnwood Link, the project that will extend light rail service from Northgate Mall in Seattle to Lynnwood.

“We’re going to offer everyone who works at those stores a job. That’s our commitment,” Clougher said in a conference call early Friday evening.

The company will be led by two CEOs. Clougher will be the Pacific Northwest CEO with primary responsibility for Washington and Oregon. Bill Shaner, former CEO of Here Today discount retailer and Save-A-Lot foods, has been hired as CEO of the Pacific Southwest region with primary responsibility for stores in California, Nevada and Arizona.

Haggen does business differently than Safeway or Albertsons and has more emphasis on local products, Clougher said. The brand will take that into account while transitioning the stores.

“Our basic strategy is when the brand changes to Haggen, we want to do everything we

can to make sure the customer base of that store can still get the products that they want,” Clougher said. “Our process is to not disrupt the current experience, yet we do want to bring the Haggen experience by bringing in our private label and some of our great bakery products and food services.

We’re looking to add, we’re not looking to take away.”

Albertsons and Safeway are selling 168 stores in all as part of their merger. Associated Food Stores will purchase eight stores in Montana and Wyoming, Associated Wholesale Grocers/Minyards will purchase 12 stores in Texas and Supervalu will purchase two stores in Washington — again, subject to FTC approval.

Haggen has closed 10 stores in the past two years. When Clougher took over in October, he said sales numbers were up and that Haggen was ready to grow again.

The Snohomish County acquisitions are Safeways at 7601 Evergreen Way in Everett and at 31565 Highway 20 in Oak Harbor, and Albertsons stores at 19881 U.S. 2 in Monroe and at 17520 Highway 9 SE in Snohomish.

Sewage: She’s ready to file claim was unfunded and inactive. Some members were unaware of the HOA’s existence until the county told them about it.

Inspectors from the county and Alderwood Water & Wastewater District signed off on plumbing and side sewer after construction. Yet the pipe taking waste away from Crompton’s house was improperly connected, sending waste to the storm drains instead of dropping it into the public sewer.

No one noticed the mistake until last summer.

By that time, Crompton, an Iraq war veteran, was living in Puyallup and renting out her house in Snohomish County.

The Everett Daily Herald covered the neighbors’ predicament in October, shortly after a contractor for the county removed 8,000 gallons of sewage from their stormwater system. At the time, the county estimated the work would cost $15,500 — about $2,600 per household. The bill mailed Dec. 11 was for $8,946, or $1,491 each.

At one point, they were

threatened with $5,000 in fines for violating waterpollution laws.

County ombudsman John Koster helped work out a deal to avoid the fines, if the homeowners offered to pay for cleanup. Crompton didn’t sign on, but most neighbors did.

A county inspector who reviewed the situation last month concluded that the mistake was probably made by an inexperienced contractor after the inspection. Others who looked at the plumbing mistake said it was so blatant that it appeared deliberate.

No one knows for sure.

The original builder, Tartan Development of Snohomish, went out of business.

Crompton said she’s prepared to file a damage claim with the county. To her, the county’s explanation still doesn’t make any sense.

“I don’t care who didn’t do what,” Crompton said. “I respectfully decline to pay.

Why are you still bothering me?”

True story: Idaho’s parachuting beaver Back in the day (1940s), a plethora of the toothy critters prompted unusual relocation methods

By Rob Thornberry Post Register

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — This is the story of a beaver named Geronimo and a simpler time of ingenuity when the rodents parachuted into Idaho’s backcountry.

Yes, I just wrote that sentence and every word is true.

As the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, a number of wild tales of wildlife management have surfaced and none are better than Geronimo’s.

His tale is from the 1940s, when an abundance of beavers in some areas prompted depredation concerns, according to an article called “Transplanting Beavers by Airplane and Parachute”

by Fish and Game’s Elmo W. Heter. The article was published in 1950 in the “Journal of Wildlife Management.”

Faced with a bevy of beavers, Fish and Game

decided to transplant some of the toothy critters into the backcountry.

The accepted method at the time was capturing them, trucking them to a trailhead and then packing them by mule train to some unoccupied lush meadow. There the beaver equivalent of Adam and Eve would be released to do beaver things and get busy making more beavers.

“Beavers usually set up colonies, multiply and establish important fur-bearing populations,” Heter wrote. “In addition, they do much toward improving the habitats of game, fish and waterfowl and perform important service in watershed conservation.”

The problem with trucks and mules, however, was beavers died in large numbers because they weren’t suited for the heat of summertime travel.

“Older individuals often become dangerously belligerent,” Heter wrote.

“Rough trips on pack

Horses and mules become spooky and quarrelsome when loaded with a struggling, odorous pair of live beavers.

— Elmo W. Heter, “Transplanting Beavers by Airplane and Parachute”

animals are very hard on them. Horses and mules become spooky and quarrelsome when loaded with a struggling, odorous pair of live beavers.”

(Let me stop here and point out that the problem with present-day Fish and Game reports is that they don’t use enough words like belligerent, quarrelsome and odorous.)

Heter didn’t explain how Fish and Game ultimately turned to parachutes — I picture a meeting of bigwigs with diagrams, a wading pool

and model beavers — but in 1948 they became the preferred method for a backcountry beavers blitzkrieg.

(I want to stop here again and ponder the thoughts of the elk and deer as they watched the aerial raid of ruffian rodents.)

Fish and Game officials first experimented with willow boxes but that effort was abandoned because of fears the beavers would eat their way out of their airborne box at the most inopportune time.

Heter’s crew eventually made a box that broke apart when it hit the ground.

But would the beaver die in the process?

Enter Geronimo.

To test proper drop heights and box designs, Fish and Game officials dropped Geronimo “again and again.”

“Each time he scrambled out of the box, someone was on hand to pick him up,” Heter wrote.

“Poor fellow! He finally became resigned, and as soon as we approached him, would crawl back into his box ready to go aloft again.”

With Geronimo’s help, Fish and Game learned that the best launch height was between 500 and 800 feet because it allowed the chute to open properly and still maintain some accuracy in placing the bewildered beavers in the selected meadow.

In 1948, Fish and Game dropped 76 beavers in the backcountry. There was only one fatality, a beaver

that “jumped or fell” from his box at about 75 feet.

A year later, observations showed all airborne transplants were successful.

“Beavers had built dams, constructed houses, stored up food, and were well on their way to producing colonies,” Heter wrote.

Heter said the transplanting effort showed a marked savings over mules, claiming the expense of moving four beavers was $30.

Although Heter’s article makes no mention of how many beavers were ultimately transplanted via parachute — or why and when the program was stopped — he did say that Geronimo was treated well for his efforts.

He “had a priority reservation on the first ship into the hinterland, and that three young females went with him,” Heter wrote.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Obama signs huge defense spending bill WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Friday signed into law a massive defense policy bill that endorses his plan to fight Islamic State militants, including air strikes and training Iraqis and moderate Syrian rebels. The law authorizes funds for basic military operations, from a 1 percent pay raise for troops to the purchase of ships, aircraft and other war-fighting equipment. It also authorizes the training and equipping of moderate Syrian rebels battling the extremists for two years and provides $5 billion to train Iraqis battling the militants who brutally rule large sections of the two countries.

Slow progress in Cuba

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Tempering his historic Cuba policy shift with a dose of realism, President Barack Obama said Friday that change may not come quickly to the communist island. He suggested Congress will keep the U.S. economic embargo in place until lawmakers can gauge the pace of progress in the “hermetically sealed society.”

Still, Obama’s surprise announcement this week that the U.S. was ending its Cold War diplomatic freeze with Cuba appeared to have contributed to energizing the president as he closes a difficult sixth year in office.

“My presidency is entering the fourth quarter,” Obama said at a year-end White House news conference shortly before leaving for a two-week Hawaiian vacation. “Interesting stuff happens in the fourth quarter.”

On domestic matters, Obama was measured about the prospect of forging compromises with the new Republican majority on Capitol Hill, and he warned the GOP that he would block efforts to dismantle his health care law or further water down banking regulations. He made no commitment to sign the first bill incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to take up: approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

Obama said the project’s value has been exaggerated.

The president spoke shortly after the FBI formally accused North Korea of hacking Sony Pictures Entertainment. Obama promised

I’m being sincere when I say I want to work with this new Congress to get things done.

— President Obama

to respond to the cyberattack “in a place and manner and time that we choose.” But he also criticized Sony for shelving the satirical film about a plot to assassinate North Korea’s leader that sparked the attack, saying the entertainment company “made a mistake.”

Despite Obama’s upbeat mood as 2014 comes to a close, his sixth year in office has been one of fits and starts. His agenda was frequently overshadowed by a broad array of crises, including the rise of Middle East militants, Russia’s actions in in Ukraine, a surge of unaccompanied minors to the U.S.-Mexico border from the south and an Ebola outbreak in West Africa that brought fears to this country. Obama’s Democratic Party suffered sweeping losses in a midterm election where the president was deemed too unpopular to participate.

Yet Obama pointed to the decline in the nation’s unemployment rate, increased economic growth and numerous states and cities enacting minimum wage increases the president has championed.

Obama also seemed to find his footing after the election, unveiling executive actions on immigration and striking a surprise climate change deal with China, both of which

were greeted by accusations of presidential overreach from Republicans. On Wednesday, he unilaterally ended the Cold War-era diplomatic freeze with Cuba, the communist island just 90 miles off the U.S. coast.

The policy shift with Cuba is among the most substantial foreign policy actions of Obama’s presidency. But he said he doesn’t expect decades of dictatorship on the island to end quickly and said he shared Cuban dissidents’ concerns about the country’s poor human rights record.

“This is still a regime that represses its people,” Obama said. He expressed an interest in visiting Cuba at some point in his life, but suggested that visit might have to wait until after his presidency.

Still, Obama shared an unusual level of detail about a friendly private phone call earlier this week with Cuban President Raul Castro. The call marked the first substantive discussion between the leaders of the two nations in more than 50 years.

Obama said he opened the call with a 15-minute statement, then apologized for the length of his remarks. The Cuban leader replied that Obama was “still a young man and you still have the chance to break Fidel’s record: He once spoke for seven hours straight,”

Obama said, referring to Cuba’s longtime dictator Fidel Castro.

The president said the Cuban leader then delivered an opening statement at least twice as long as his. “I was able to say, ‘Obviously, it runs in the family.’ ” The president was cautious in setting specific goals for how much progress he expected Cuba to make by the end of his tenure, but said “change is going to come to Cuba.” Still, he suggested Congress was unlikely to quickly repeal the full U.S. economic embargo on Cuba.

“People are going to want to see how does this move forward before there’s any serious debate about whether or not we would make major shifts in the embargo,” Obama said.

During his 17-day break in Hawaii, Obama is expected to spend some time crafting his State of the Union address, in which he will outline his goals for working with the GOP-led Congress. House Speaker John Boehner has invited Obama to address a joint session of Congress on Jan. 20.

The president has already raised the prospect of reaching accords with Republicans on trade, which is a rare area of agreement between the White House and the GOP. And Obama said his staff would be talking to Republicans in the coming weeks to start work on overhauling the nation’s complicated tax code, though both sides acknowledge that their differences on the complex issue run deep.

“I’m being sincere when I say I want to work with this new Congress to get things done,” Obama said.

Some states show more racial bias

By Chris Mooney The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Across the United States, white Americans show subtle or “implicit” biases against blacks — biases they mostly don’t even realize they have. This has been established through lots of research, but it’s not perfectly uniform across the land. Whites in some states show more bias, overall, than in others.

That’s the takeaway from data compiled by Project Implicit, based on the scores of 1.5 million voluntary takers of the Implicit Association Test or IAT (which detects subtle or unconscious racial preferences). But we didn’t know why levels of uncontrolled bias are higher in the U.S. Southeast and East Coast, but not so much New England.

Dominic Packer, a psychologist at Lehigh University, has

a surprising (and troubling) answer: Unconscious racial bias, he shows in a new analysis, is higher in U.S. states in which there is a higher ratio of black citizens to white citizens — or in other words, in which there are relatively more black people for every white person.

“These findings are inconsistent with any simple hypothesis that contact between members of different racial groups will lead to reduced bias,” wrote Packer in his analysis. However, he said, they are quite consistent with the idea that in states with more black citizens, whites may perceive “greater competition for political, cultural and economic resources” or “greater risk for cross-race crime.”

In a 2014 presentation, Project Implicit researchers had already suggested that this relationship might exist. Packer

simply went further, seeking to uncover correlations between state level differences in IAT scores (for whites) and a number of sociological and demographic factors, which are known to vary by U.S. state.

Factors that he considered included levels of income and income inequality, history as a slave-holding state, political ideology, and the ratio of white to black residents in the state.

Interestingly, the research found that how a state voted in 2008 — for Obama versus McCain — did not explain anything about the state’s average IAT score. There was simply no relationship to politics. However, other factors, like levels of income inequality and whether the state was once a slave-holding state, did correlate with implicit bias scores.

Since many of the factors listed above actually correlate with each other, raising

questions as to which factor might be truly primary, Packer then took another step. That was to perform a statistical analysis — called a regression — that would seek to even more precisely define which variable is linked to the pattern of implicit racial bias.

The result was striking: The ratio of white to black residents in a given state explained over 50 percent of the variability in various states’ white participants’ Implicit Association Test scores. “That’s pretty big, for anything social scienc-y,” Packer said.

Or to state the result in a different way: “States where Whites outnumber Blacks substantially in the population have lower average IAT scores,” Packer wrote. “In contrast, states where Blacks make up proportionally more of the population have higher average IAT scores.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning Americans not to eat packaged caramel-coated apples, the suspected source of a multi-state listeria outbreak that’s killed at least four people. As of Thursday, 28 people in 10 states had been infected with the foodborne bacteria: five in Missouri, five in New Mexico, four each in Arizona, Minnesota and Texas, two in Wisconsin and one each in Washington state, California, North Carolina and Utah. Of 26 people hospitalized with listeria food poisoning, five have died, and the bacteria was a definite factor in four of the deaths, the CDC reported.

California: Light rail plan Leaders at the Los Angeles International Airport have formally given the go-ahead to a $4 billion plan to build an “automated people mover” that would connect terminals to the region’s rail system. The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners unanimously voted Thursday to approve the project, which would take people around the nation’s third-busiest airport, and to and from a new rental car center and a to-be-built Metro rail station about 1.5 miles away.

New York: Doctor to prison A pain doctor convicted of manslaughter in two patients’ overdose deaths has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison. The New York special narcotics prosecutor’s office said Dr. Stan Li was sentenced Friday to a term of just over 10 years to 20 years.

He had been convicted of selling prescriptions to addicts, including some who died of overdoses. Another later shot four people in a pharmacy holdup.

It’s believed to be New York’s first manslaughter case against a doctor in an overdose death.

Texas: Air rage indictment A federal indictment alleges a Houston man disrupted a flight from the Persian Gulf to Houston earlier this month, including threatening to blow up the plane. The indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Houston accuses Joseph Ferrarone, 33, of interfering with a flight crew and could be, if convicted, sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. His attorney said he remains in custody without bond pending mental health tests.

Mink coat for food worker A worker at a Houston-area fast-food restaurant received a $10,000 mink coat from a customer who literally offered the fancy fur right off her back.

Cheryl Semien said she was working at a Whataburger in Liberty when she complimented the driver about the beautiful fur coat she wore. The customer was picking up food Wednesday when she took off the coat and handed it to Semien via the drive-thru window.

Semien said she’ll treasure the mink and can’t wait to pair it with some boots.

AROUND THE WORLD Germany: Amazon strike A labor union said striking workers at four Amazon.com distribution centers in Germany will remain off the job until Christmas Eve. The ver.di union said Friday the strikes at Bad Hersfeld, Leipzig, Graben and Rheinberg will last until the afternoon of Christmas Eve on Dec. 24. Companies in Germany normally shut down for the holiday at that time and reopen Dec. 27, or the next working day. The walkouts at four of Amazon’s distribution centers in Germany are part of an effort by workers to push for higher pay. The union said Amazon workers receive lower wages than others in retail and mail-order jobs.

NLRB cites McDonald’s Violations reportedly include firings, reduced hours, threats, surveillance and discriminatory discipline.

By Tom Raum Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The National Labor Relations Board on Friday designated McDonald’s Corp. as a “joint-employer” with franchisees at nearly 14,000 U.S. restaurants, delivering a big win to unions.

The board’s general counsel’s office ruled that the company violated the rights of employees openly seeking better pay and

working conditions. Hearings are set for March on whether to pursue disciplinary steps.

McDonald’s called the move an “overreach” and vowed to contest it. The company said it has been the target of a union-financed campaign and is only defending itself against an attack on its business.

The NLRB said it has found 86 cases in which the company’s unlawful conduct included sanctions against workers who had sought job improvements, including by participating in nationwide fast food worker protests.

Violations included firings, reduced hours, threats, surveillance and discriminatory

discipline against workers who engaged in union or other legally protected activity, the board said.

The NLRB is a federal agency that resolves employee-management disputes in the private sector. It disclosed in July it had received 181 complaints against McDonald’s and its franchisees since November 2012.

The agency contends the company and its franchisees are joint employers of the fast-food workers. McDonald’s denies that claim.

The company wields such extensive influence over the business operations of its franchisees that it effectively is the top boss, the NLRB said.

Republican critics of the

current board have accused it of being consistently political in its rulings over the past few years, with three Democratic members and two Republican ones.

Over the past two years, workers at McDonald’s and other fast-food outlets in many cities have been engaging in brief “strikes” while calling for an increase in the minimum wage from the current $7.25 to $15 an hour and the right to unionize.

McDonald’s said that the NLRB complaints “improperly and dramatically strike at the heart of the franchise system.” It vowed to “contest the joint employer allegation as well as the unfair labor See NLRB, Page A9

Chinese wealth flows to state This is just the beginning, Beijing investor Hongbin Wei says.

Associated Press

TED WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Janie Lee, (left) a residential specialist with John L. Scott Real Estate, shows a home for sale to her client, Hongbin Wei, of Beijing, on Thursday in Medina as homeowner Doug Ebstyne (right) looks on.

Behind their growing economy, wealthy Chinese homebuyers have poured into the U.S., spending $22 billion on property in the states, tops among all foreign purchasers over the 12 months preceding a March study from the National Association of Realtors.

That was up from $12.8 billion the previous year, when Chinese buyers also took the No. 1 spot.

The homes had a median price of more than $500,000, which again trumped other international clients.

Washington state received a hefty share of attention, ranking second only to California in sales to Chinese buyers.

“We’re at the very beginning of the Chinese outbound investment cycle. It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said Simon Henry, CEO of an influential real estate website that connects Chinese buyers with international properties.

The China-Washington ties include direct flights between Seattle, Beijing, Hong Kong and several other Chinese cities, and that proximity is part of what makes the West Coast attractive, said Jed Smith, a research director with the Realtors group. Other foreign investors follow similar patterns, he said, noting that Mexican buyers often purchase in the Southwest, while Europeans tend to favor the Northeast.

Nationally, Smith said, foreign buyers spent about $90 billion on U.S. property last year, out of about $1.3 trillion in total sales.

The international impact had potential to raise spot prices, but not enough to inflate costs across the U.S. or crowd out local buyers, he said.

The recent links — including the film “Bei Jing Yu Shang Xi Ya Tu,” which Lee says literally translates to “Beijing Meets Seattle”

and references the Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan classic “Sleepless in Seattle” — come as other major U.S. cities, including New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas, have experienced a tourism boost from the Far East.

Chinese tourists have been among the fastest-growing and highest-spending U.S. visitors in recent years. In 2013, about 1.8 million Chinese travelers came to the U.S., contributing about $21 billion to the economy, according to a White House release.

State Department figures show Chinese tourists spent about $7,000 per person in the U.S., compared with the average of $4,500 for all overseas visitors.

To encourage such travel and spending, the U.S. government last month expanded the availability of visas to Chinese visitors.

Airline plans to postpone 777 deliveries Air France-KLM Group will push back aircraft deliveries to contain costs after announcing a third profit revision this year that sent its stock tumbling 8.3 percent. Europe’s biggest airline will not take some Boeing 777 wide-body jets due in the next two years after saying 2014’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization will be $246 million lower than expected. Poor sales on longhaul routes and a two-week pilot walkout in September are largely to blame for the shortfall, it said. The carrier had earlier planned to take about 10 Boeing 777s in 2015 and 2016 and will now look to postpone those deliveries, the CFO said.

T-Mobile owes refunds to customers State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said about 231,000 T-Mobile customers in Washington may be eligible for a share of a settlement with the company over billing unauthorized charges, a practice known as cramming. Consumers can request a refund online at www.tmobilerefund.com.

Under an agreement announced Friday by the Federal Trade Commission, the company headquartered in Bellevue will pay about $68 million to consumers nationally. State attorneys will share an $18 million fine. Ferguson said Washington’s share of that is $727,000. A $5 million fine goes to the FTC.

By Manuel Valdes MEDINA — Savvy area real estate agents have gained an advantage by paying attention to the growing connections between China and Washington state.

“I’m so glad my mother made me study Chinese,” property broker Janie Lee said with a laugh, after showing a client from Beijing a $4 million home in the Seattle suburb of Medina. “I’ve been using it a lot.”

This year, Chinese visitors are on pace to top the list of international travelers to the Evergreen State. More than half of the 7,300 international students at the University of Washington are from the People’s Republic. And a recent top-grossing Chinese romantic comedy featured a Beijing woman who finds love in Seattle.

The influx has made its way to high-end property markets, and observers don’t expect it to slow down any time soon. “This is just the beginning from just a few years ago. So in a few years there will be even more,” Lee said, interpreting for her perspective buyer, Hongbin Wei. In anticipation, some Seattlearea homes are being built or remodeled to improve their feng shui, but other factors can help make a property attractive.

As Wei considered the Medina mansion, Lee asked the seller whether all five bedrooms had their own bathrooms. “Most of the buyers, the Asian buyers, like private suites for their parents or extended family,” she said.

In announcing the change, the White House said it could bring an economic impact of $85 billion by 2021.

In Washington, Visit Seattle, a travel industry group, says more than 100,000 Chinese travelers will visit the state this year, tops among all overseas travelers to the state.

Education has been part of that draw, and veteran Seattle-area real estate agent Tere Foster said it’s been common for Chinese parents to buy homes for their children while they attend school, often rooming with other students.

“McDonald’s and its corporate lobbyists continue to claim that the company has no responsibility for workers at its restaurants, but today’s complaint underscores the obvious fact that McDonald’s is the boss,” said Micah Wissinger, an attorney whose law firm brought the case on behalf of McDonald’s workers in New York City.

suburbs for three decades and has seen foreign buying booms before. She said the cycles depend on whose economy was humming at the time. In years past, she’s had spikes of Japanese, Korean and Eastern European clients.

Part of the reason for the current increase of Chinese buyers is investment. “Chinese currency it’s still a soft currency,” which is subject to rapid value fluctuations, said Jonathan Zhang, who teaches business at the University of Washington. Purchasing a home in the U.S. “is a good way to preserve wealth,” he said.

“When you have sudden prosperity, you get excited, you spend it,” Zhang said.

“At the same time, you think about how you’re going to preserve it for the future, because it’s not that clear this boom is going to continue.”

The allegations of unlawful conduct by joint employers include “discriminatory discipline, reductions in hours, discharges, and other coercive conduct directed at employees in response to union and protected concerted activity,” according to the NLRB. David French, senior vice president for the National Retail Federation, called the NLRB position “so confusing and so in conflict with what the reality is.” One of the efficiencies of franchising is that “it’s made it possible to do a better job of managing a local operation because the franchisee is invested in that process,” French said.

“From here on out, it’s going to be our ballgame,” said Rafael Campos, a 34-year courier. “For us, we really don’t feel the Christmas spirit, because we are too busy trying to make everyone else’s Christmas perfect.”

In this carefully stacked house of cards, one strong gust could send the entire thing toppling.

That blow could be an actual storm — another wet whopper in the Bay Area that delays planes and slows deliveries — or a last-minute surge of online shoppers enticed by retailers’ 11th-hour offerings.

“You don’t know what you don’t know until you’re apologizing for it,” said Christoph Stehmann, president of e-commerce and shipping solutions for Pitney Bowes, a tech firm. “You can’t control the weather. You can’t control consumer buying behavior.

The truth is any one of those things could be a variable this holiday season. I don’t think that anyone can give the consumer a guarantee that nothing bad is going to happen.”

And yet, lots of promises have been made. Wal-Mart said recently it would guarantee Christmas Eve delivery for packages sent by standard shipping and ordered by Dec. 19. Toys R Us and Neiman Marcus have both said that shoppers who order by Dec. 23 can get gifts delivered by the following day, for a fee. Target announced its last day to order is Dec. 20, and is also offering free shipping, which has prompted a surge of orders, a spokesman said.

“You want to make (the cutoff) as late as possible to benefit guests, but you also need to be comfortable that you can deliver

on that promise,” said Target spokesman Eddie Baeb. “You want to be as good or better than your competitor.”

Although Target had a mostly smooth Christmas last year, dozens of other retailers that underestimated their sales and pushed out delivery deadlines disappointed their customers on Christmas morning. However, it was UPS and FedEx that bore the brunt of consumer blame

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■RESCUE TEAMS

Thankful for recovery, kindness We would like to express our gratitude to the teams from Snohomish County Search and Rescue and the Everett Mountain Rescue that helped to extract the body of our beloved, Xavier Engle, who drowned while kayaking in Class V whitewater in the Robe Canyon on Sunday, Nov. 30.

The operation was led by Sgt. Danny Wikstrom and Sgt. Scot Fenter. The men and woman on the highly skilled search and rescue teams had to work in extremely difficult terrain with roped climbers supported by helicopters.

Sgt. Randy Fae provided personal care and support to family members at the river site.

The teams’ professionalism and kindness needs to be commended. Thank you to the rescue unit of the Sheriff’s Department of Snohomish County and to Everett Mountain Rescue.

■■SNOHOMISH HEATING

Owners honest, kind businessmen I am a subscriber to The Herald. I am also a widow of age 83.

In 2008, I paid a heating company $8,000 for a natural gas furnace and installation of the furnace.

Every winter since 2008, the water vapor, which must escape from the gas, would freeze and the furnace would shut down. That company made several feeble attempts to stop the problem by inserting pipes to circumvent the original pipes. I would then have to carry large buckets of this water to a sink to empty the water every day until the pipes returned to normal.

Finally, I became so disgusted that I wrote the company a letter threatening a lawsuit and mailed it.

I also called and a man answered the telephone at the company’s number. He said that the company who had installed my furnace had gone out of business. His company, Snohomish Heating Company, had accepted the original company’s files and telephone numbers.

When I described the problem with the installation, he said that Snohomish Heating would fix it.

Within a week, Snohomish Heating owner Steve Edwards came to my home from Snohomish and fixed the poor installation.

He spent three hours to do this.

Snohomish Heating Company’s owners Steve Edwards and Jeff Hayword are the tops when it comes to heating and other problems. I wish to thank them publicly. They are outstanding examples of honest and caring businessmen. Snohomish Heating would not accept any money for their work And they did not even do the original installation in 2008!

■■KINDNESS Gifts will help many young women Gift of flowers We of Zonta Everett want to express our huge thank you to our supporters in Snohomish and King counties who helped us make our 38th annual auction such a huge success. Because of our communities’ generosity, we will be able to fully fund our scholarships to a local high school young woman who has shown a powerful interest in public affairs; our Jane Klausman scholarship to a young woman at university pursuing a career in business/economics; and our most special Women In Transition Scholarships awarded to women who unexpectedly find themselves single head of households and who need more education in order to support their families.

We will also be able to make small but critical grants to nongovernmental organizations in our community whose programs directly help improve the status of women and girls such as Cocoon House’s Home for Teen Moms, Housing Hope’s Life Skills education for teen moms and the YWCA’s Pathways to Work to help women live self sustaining and fulfilling lives. We are a small but powerful organization that has been working to help our community for 85 years! We may be small, but we make a difference and we are so grateful to our many enthusiastic supporters.

■■CAMANO CENTER

Pleased disaster relief system works On Dec. 11, a high wind storm caused the electricity to go out for most of Camano Island. Some parts of the island were without power for more than two days.

Karla Jacks and her wonderful staff at the Camano Center were truly ready and willing assists those seniors that needed their help.

About a year ago, the center set up a disaster relief system that seniors on Camano Island could use in the event of a problem like a power outage. Over 80 people signed up for this service. All the persons on the list were contacted before noon on Friday. Some were given a hot meal with our Meals on Wheels program, and others were assisted in other ways. The system worked. All staff members were professional and efficient and took care of those needing services.

As president of the Camano Center, I am proud of the work of our staff and volunteers and pleased to see that they perform so well. This fine work shows what an asset to the community

meant so much I wanted to write about an experience that happened to me on Saturday, Dec. 13. It happened at the Costco close to Mill Creek and/or Everett Mall. I am a licensed practical nurse and night shift supervisor at the skilled nursing facility in Raymond, Washington. I have been off work since beginning of October due to a gimpy knee. I woke up one afternoon, could not bend my knee or put weight on it. It has been a long two (almost three) months. Last week I had surgery on my knee, and I am up here recovering for a week with my brother’s family. No one in the family wanted me to be alone my first week after surgery.

Saturday was the first big excursion day since surgery. Went to Costco, my brother dropped me off by the door … it was the first time I have not used crutches outside ... very big deal for me.

Thank God there was a motorized cart that I could use, no way could my knee could handle walking in Costco. I was paying for my stuff, when I noticed that the lady behind me had put a beautiful flower arrangement on the checkout counter. I made a comment to her about how beautiful it was, and asked her if she knew what part of the arrangement was. I paid for my stuff, was getting ready to leave, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the lady behind me at the checkout.

She put a flower arrangement like hers in my cart and told me “Merry Christmas.”

I don’t know who she is, or why she did it. What she does not know, is how very much it meant to me. I hope that she is reading your paper, and will see this. I told her two things, one of them more than once. I told her thank you several times, and that it was even more special to me because Saturday was my birthday. So for whomever you are ... thank you again. Her act of kindness was something that touched me so deeply, and she has no idea how much it meant to me. I intend to put that arrangement in a very special place when I get home.

I also wanted to let her know that even though I can never repay her for her kindness, I will repay by one day doing the same for someone else. Maybe not a flower arrangement, but something. She made someone who has been going through a very rough time smile till they cried.

The world needs people like her.

I hope and pray that she has a glorious Christmas, and that her new year is even more so. Also the employees at Costco were wonderful, so a big thank you, to the as well. Thank you.

Lisa Taylor South Bend, Washington

GUEST COMMENTARY | ‘Stolen Valor’

VA can’t provide records sought in criminal court case

By Howard Lucas

A

fter reading the story in Thursday’s Herald (“Military service claim by man in standoff still unproven”) about the difficulty the prosecution is having in confirming Tyler Gaffney’s claims that he was some sort of super secret soldier, I found myself more exasperated by the comments of the attorneys than I was by the questionable claims of the defendant.

Here’s a little civics lesson for the attorneys, the judge and your reporter: The VA is not part of the Department of Defense. There is a Secretary of Defense and there is a Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

They both report to the president, not to each other. And they have completely different missions.

For a non-governmental equivalent, think of the VA as a private company that administers pension

benefits and health insurance for an employer. When Gaffney was in the service, he worked for the Department of Defense and they are the ones who have detailed records of his duties and assignments. The VA probably doesn’t have the records because they don’t need them.

When a vet goes to the VA for medical treatment or other benefits, all the VA does is confirm his or her eligibility. That takes two things.

For educational benefits and home loan benefits, all the VA needs to do is establish that the vet had service that meets the requirements of law. Unless things have changed dramatically since I worked for the VA, all that takes is a one-page form from the military that shows the veteran has an honorable discharge and his term of service.

If the vet files a claim for medical benefits, the VA needs to see the medical records. That’s it. The VA

doesn’t get and usually doesn’t need any personnel or financial records. There could easily be some incidental information in the medical records about the vet’s duties, but it wouldn’t be “official.”

As for the therapist’s response and the VA’s refusal to respond to the subpoena: Have the attorneys ever heard of the Federal Privacy Act, or, for that matter, the recent restrictions placed on disclosure of patient records at all medical establishments? It’s no wonder that the VA refused the subpoena.

There is unlikely to be any substantial record of the vet’s service in the possession of the therapist other than anecdotal information provided by the vet himself. Privacy restrictions would prevent the therapist from providing any answers that go beyond the information he has already provided.

I do not believe that a subpoena can compel someone to break the

law, and I suspect that that was the basis of the VA’s refusal.

I worked for the VA for about 25 years. I retired quite awhile ago, but I am confident that VA employees still care quite a bit about “stolen valor,” but you need to understand that the characteristics of a person’s service don’t have anything to do with their eligibility.

It doesn’t matter if they are a supply clerk or a special forces sniper, the benefits are the same. Once eligibility is established, there is no need for detailed information about the veteran’s duties. The VA just provides benefits based on the needs of the veteran as prescribed by law. I doubt that the therapist has any way of knowing if the stories are true. He is just treating the guy who is sitting in front of him, and even if he is certain that Gaffney is a liar, Gaffney still needs treatment and the therapist still has to treat him because

he is eligible for treatment. And “outing” Gaffney because of false claims about the character of his service would be a very clear violation of the law. I think the response of the therapist and the VA was entirely reasonable. Stern’s snarky comment that they don’t care about “stolen valor” is just the kind of thing you hear from someone who needs to cover the fact that he isn’t doing his job very well.

I am amazed that none of the attorneys or the judge have enough knowledge of their own government to know where to go to ask their questions. Judge Downes’ comment that perhaps they should talk to the Secretary of Defense is a really good idea. After all, if you want to know the duties of someone who worked at Boeing, who would you ask? The employee’s insurance company or his doctor?

WITH PETER G. MILLER peter@ctwfeatures.com

FAMILY BUYING MATTERS QUESTION: My husband and I are thinking of going in together with our son and his wife to buy a vacation home. We will put $150,000, down and they will pay the rest in the form of a $300,000 mortgage. What are the pros and cons other than family issues?

THE TINY WAY

ANSWER: The idea of buying real estate with relatives sounds enticing, but “family issues” cannot be avoided because they’re at the heart of the transaction.

You have a $450,000 property with $150,000 in cash from you and a $300,000 mortgage to be paid by your son and daughter-in-law. However, will your names also be on the note, making you a co-signer and fully responsible for the debt?

How is property ownership to be titled? Will there be a right of survivorship?

How are ownership interests to be divided? Will everyone have 25-percent ownership or should there be a different formula? Are the costs for such things as HOA fees and repairs to be divided according to ownership, equally, or in some other way?

What if someone wants to sell and everyone else wants to hold? Can an interest in the property be sold to an outside party or must it first be offered to current owners?

If the property is sold, how are the profits divided? What if there’s a loss?

And — I hate to ask — what if there’s a divorce? People of all ages, including people in long-term relationships, get divorced, an event which can set off a variety of property issues.

By any chance do you have other children? If you were to pass away would another child get ownership in the property?

What these questions suggest is that there’s no such thing as a “plain and simple” family purchase. The issue is not just family dynamics, rather it’s also the way the world requires us to deal with property issues.

Plainly, before going further, you will need to speak with an attorney and tax professional. Each of the four prospective owners will need a will, a living will and other paperwork as your legal counsel suggests.

You also will want to structure ownership in a way that’s best for tax purposes. For instance, maybe you want an “equity sharing” arrangement.

With equity sharing there’s a resident owner and a nonresident owner, an investor. Imagine that for your $150,000 you become the nonresident owner with a 50 percent stake in the property. Your son and his wife would then own half and pay rent for the half he doesn’t own. The advantage to you is that as an investor you can depreciate your half of the property and thus reduce your federal income taxes.

I know it doesn’t sound very family friendly to think about wills, lawyers and taxes, but that’s the nature of modern property ownership — even when the ownership is among parents and children. Things change and questions arise, especially over the long term, and it is simply easier and cheaper to get issues sorted out now rather than later.

A TINY HOME IS AN AFFORDABLE, TRANSPORTABLE (!) AND, YES, SMALLER ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRADITIONAL SINGLE-FAMILY HOME

By ALEX GALLUCCI

simplify your life. Those are the primary motivations, and also for environmental reasons,” said Dan Louche, owner and founder of The concept of small living is Tiny House Builders, a DeLand, not new, but builders across the Fla.-based company that designs U.S. are making it easier to become a tiny homeowner, whether and builds tiny homes.

A smaller house means less you choose to build your own micro-sized home yourself or buy energy usage, less waste, less maintenance and low utility costs. one readymade.

“Where it would cost you A tiny house is a movable living space, most often built on a trailer, hundreds of dollars per month to maintain a house over the course that averages about 150 square of a year, it might only take you feet (not including the sleeping less than that in a year for a tiny loft). In fact, many are built to the house,” said Ross Beck, manager maximum width — 8.5 feet — at of customer services for Sonoma, which the Department of Transportation allows them to be towed Calif.-based Tumbleweed Tiny Houses. Beck noted that some of without special licensing. his customers who dwell in tiny Tiny houses offer an affordhouses on the East Coast paid able and transportable solution as little as $15 per month to heat to homeownership. Many of the concept’s early adopters have built their homes in winter.

their homes.

“We really believe in building houses that are strong and healthy and that will last another 100 years because of the quality of the workmanship, as well as the quality of the materials that we build them with,” said Michelle Ashley, the company’s COO. Tiny Texas Houses has built more than 80 homes to date.

Their 43-acre property offers an onsite community where seven tiny home dwellers currently live.

Prospective buyers can even rent a tiny house for a night’s stay to get an idea for the feel of the space.

“People always say, ‘Oh, this is not nearly as small as I thought it’d be,’” Ashley said. Tiny homes are designed to maximize their interior space, often using a lofted sleeping area that actually makes them feel roomy inside.

The concept is growing most among young professionals and retirees who are environmentally minded and want well-designed, low-cost living. Some people use tiny houses for elderly relatives, or college-aged students who have returned home. Others use them as vacation or second homes.

BUYING

Don’t Expect a Quick Profit In the housing boom early last decade, many thought home prices would always rise and that a home could be easily sold at a price to pay off the mortgage, no matter how big it was.

Based on government data from 1975 to 2012, home prices tend to track annual inflation rates sometimes, with 1 or 2 percent tacked on.

Still, equity — the value of the home minus the total mortgage amount — represents the biggest source of wealth for most Americans. Equity is built by slowly paying down mortgage principal each month.

CTW Features

LESSONS FROM THE HOUSING CRISIS Americans still equate home ownership with accumulating wealth, which is why it’s important to have the right motives for buying a home The nightmare is ending, but the dream continues.

Despite the foreclosure crisis, the public still has “strong support for the association between owning a home and accumulating wealth,” according to one of the housing experts contributing to “Homeownership Built To Last,” a recently published book from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University and Brookings

Institution Press.

Indeed, new, stricter mortgage rules enacted in the aftermath of the crisis should help ensure today’s borrowers will find owning affordable, stress several contributors.

But they also warn that the rules are works in progress, and homebuying still is not a foolproof financial decision.

Here, some lessons that we should learn from the crisis:

“A tiny house answers those questions for being very efficient, cost effective and mobile for them,” said Beck.

Sure, tiny living is not for everyone, but the biggest challenge for owners can be finding a place to park them. “There are just not a lot of regulations that say you can put a house on wheels and live in it full time,” said Beck. Zoning and permitting laws vary by region, so it’s best to look into local regulations so that you know where you can put a home before you buy.

For info and resources, peruse the websites of builders like Tumbleweed and visit online community sites, such as ThisTinyLife.com.

Know What’s Really Affordable Homebuyers tend to fixate on the monthly mortgage payment, and if they’re approved to borrow a certain amount, they consider that their limit. But it’s better to look at a big picture, like how much maintenance and utility costs will be for a particular home.

Look for Impartial Advice Buyers look to real estate agents and lenders for advice, but they should balance that information with guidance from impartial sources. The Harvard/Brookings book advises that some of the best advice come from government-sponsored housing counseling agencies, like those listed on www.hud.gov.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Emotional, impulsive responses will not bring the results you are looking for this year. You have to do your due diligence if you want things to go your way. Opportunity is present, but if you try to cut corners or leave laborious tasks to others, you are likely to fall short of your expectations. Your numbers are 5, 12, 20, 24, 32, 39, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your ideas on paper or look into working in communications or education. You have the potential to make a difference. You will become more self-sufficient if you are determined to make things happen. ����� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A personal relationship will make a difference to what you do next regarding relocating, education or everyday interests. Don’t overreact if things don’t go according to plan. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Being a know-it-all will lead to discord. Give others the benefit of the doubt, and do your own thing quietly. A change in a relationship that affects your personal finances must be monitored. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Change will be something you cannot ignore. Be imaginative in the way you handle difficult situations and you will impress someone who can make your life and your future better. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a step forward and plan to end the year on a happy note regardless of what’s happened this past year.

Your attitude will make a difference and bring about a favorable change. ����� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Accept the

unavoidable and you will be able to maintain what’s most important to you. Show some resolve and you will be able to move forward without worry or regret. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Shopping excursions will be successful and ease your mind regarding some of the last-minute items you wanted to pick up for someone special. Helping a cause will open your eyes to its positive impact. ���� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tie up loose ends at work. Strive to put things in order, and get ready to enter the new year with greater hopes and the promise of a better future. Romance will encourage a happier domestic life. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will learn a lot if you reach out to help others.

Make positive changes at home that are sure to please loved ones. Don’t let uncertainty derived from secret information cause emotional grief. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What you say will bring results, but you may not be happy with the way things turn out. Diplomacy will help you avoid someone misinterpreting what you had in mind. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your intuition will be accurate when it comes to helping others. Not everyone is worth your time and effort. Make changes that promise to bring emotional rewards and a brighter personal future. ���� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Use your imagination and you will come up with thoughtful offerings that will not leave you broke. Don’t let someone’s emotional manipulation steer you down a path that will cause worry and regret. �� Universal Uclick

AdoptionCentral NORMAN — He’s a really easy-going guy with pretty good manners.

He needs a firm handler that won’t let me get away with bad manners.

Walks well on a leash and knows some basic commands. Learning new things will come easy since he seems to try and do whatever you ask!

He’s uncomfortable around high-energy young so a household with children over 13 would be perfect but does well with cats or small dogs.

For adoption information, call N.O.A.H., (360) 629-7055.

BUTTERSCOTCH—Butterscotch is a friendly, eight-month-old, neutered male rabbit. He loves to nibble on timothy hay and kick his heels in the air when he’s allowed out of his cage for daily playtime. Come visit him today and give him a forever home!

Seahawks move to retain Avril

Seattle locks up another key defender with $28.5M, four-year deal

By John Boyle Herald Writer

HERALD FILE PHOTO

Cliff Avril (56) got a four-year contract extension Friday as the Seahawks moved to lock up another key component of their dominant defense.

RENTON — During a twoday stretch this week, the Seattle Seahawks made a pair of moves to help ensure that the NFL’s best defense will remain largely intact for years to come.

A day after the Seahawks signed linebacker K.J. Wright to a four-year contract extension, they locked up another key member of their defense on Friday,

signing defensive end Cliff Avril to a four-year extension worth $28.5 million, including $16 million in guaranteed money, according to a league source. Both Avril and Wright were headed into the final year of their contracts, and with these moves, the Seahawks have almost all of their defensive starters under contract for 2015.

Cornerback Byron Maxwell, who may command too much in free agency for Seattle to keep, is the only defensive starter not under

contract for 2015 if you include injured defensive tackle Brandon Mebane and not his replacement, Kevin Williams.

More significantly, a big portion of Seattle’s defensive core is locked up well past 2015, meaning the defense that led the league in fewest points and yards allowed last season, and has a good chance to do so again this year, should be dominant for a long time.

the end of the shot clock — to give the Panthers a 57-52 advantage and all but put the game away.

“That play where Zak Carlson made a great pass to Collin and right at the end of the shot clock and he finishes it and gets fouled — that was a nice play by both of those guys,” Bone said.

Carlson scored nine points and grabbed nine rebounds and Kobe McDaniel added eight points for Snohomish (2-1 league, 2-4 overall), which has won two of its past three games after losing its first three to start the season.

MILL CREEK — After dropping its first two games of the season by 22 and 23 points, respectively, it looked like it might be a long season for Jackson’s boys basketball team.

Now it appears it’s the Timberwolves’ opponents that might be in for a struggle.

With a 65-51 victory over Lake Stevens on Friday, the Timberwolves won their third consecutive game and improved to 3-0 in Wesco 4A play and 3-2 overall.

Jackson’s players lack much varsity experience, having been stuck the past several seasons behind a group of players that included Jason Todd, Dan Kingma and Brian Zehr. That inexperience didn’t show against the Vikings.

“They have a small window of time to kind of make their mark,” Jackson coach Steve Johnson said. “I think that they’ve kind of always felt like they were behind an unusually large and really good senior class. Everyone knows that. ... Now, they’ve gotten their feet under them, so to speak, and they’ve gotten a little more confident. It’s a long way to go. It’s early in the season, but we did target the first three league games as what we really tried to focus on. It’s nice to have some success and build on some things, but it’s a long way to go.”

Jackson senior guard Frank Rossi made sure momentum was on the side of his team early in the first quarter. Rossi scored 11 of his game-high 21 points in the first quarter and connected on his

Kane scores 35 points, Panthers survive rally in second half by Mariner

By David Krueger Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — The Snohomish boys basketball team had a plan going into its Wesco 4A contest against Mariner Friday night.

Feed the ball to 6-foot-9 post Collin Kane.

Kane scored 35 points — and added six rebounds — for Snohomish, which built a big early lead and hung on against a

charging Mariner team 59-55 at Snohomish High School.

“That’s definitely tough. He creates a little bit of a mismatch for us,” said Mariner head coach Eric Ensign. “I didn’t realize he had that many but yeah, he’s tough. He’s a really good player.”

The Panthers worked to get the ball into Kane — who had 13 points in Snohomish’s 18-6 second-quarter run. Kane and the Panthers had a 14-point halftime lead and led by as many as 15 in the contest.

“We felt like we had a good matchup inside,” said Snohomish head coach Len Bone. “The guys did a great job getting him the ball. The first half, especially,

he got baskets but it was on some nice feeds from teammates.”

In the second half, Mariner made its move. The Marauders used a full-court defense to force turnovers by Snohomish. Mariner got to as close as two points, down 54-52 with 1:09 left.

“Mariner just kept coming at us,” Bone said. “They fought back from being down double-digits at half. We were much better than them in the first half and they were much better than us in the second. ... Their trapping caused some problems for us.”

With 36 seconds to play, Snohomish went back to its big post to put the game away. Kane got a basket and drew a foul — near

Glacier Peak remains undefeated Sadie Mensing scores 23 points to help the Grizzlies improve to 8-0 this season.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — There were stretches of Friday night’s game against Shorecrest when the Glacier Peak girls basketball team looked pretty good: a 13-0 run early in the first quarter, an 8-0 string midway through the second and an 11-1 spurt from the late third to early fourth quarters.

But in between it was not always so good. The Grizzlies struggled with their perimeter shooting most of the night, the defense was spotty at times and they probably had too many turnovers in the eyes of coach Brian Hill.

In the end, though, Glacier Peak won convincingly, and that was enough to make Hill smile.

After going in front early, the

Sounders to open season on March 8

Grizzlies never trailed again on the way to a 68-51 Wesco 3A victory, their eighth win without a loss this season.

“I thought we made some really good runs, but I also thought Shorecrest did a really good job of weathering the storm we tried to provide,” Hill said. “They kept battling back ... to keep it close. And Shorecrest did a great job defensively against us. They kind of flustered us and took us out of our game a little bit.

“But I’m always pleased when we win. I just thought it wasn’t our best put-together game. But we got the win, and at the end, that’s what it comes down to.”

Glacier Peak spotted the Scots a 2-0 lead, but then ran off 13 unanswered points, including nine from guard Sadie Mensing.

The lead reached 18-7 before Shorecrest closed the quarter with six straight points in the final 50 seconds.

In the second quarter Glacier Peak slowed offensively, going

without a field goal for the first 4½ minutes and finishing the quarter with just three. Shorecrest crept steadily closer, closing within 20-18 midway through the period, though the Grizzlies regained their earlier momentum and pushed the lead to 35-25 at halftime.

Shorecrest played Glacier Peak evenly through the third quarter, even drawing within six points (49-43) late in the period. But the Grizzlies used another scoring burst to push the margin back to double digits, and it stayed there the rest of the game.

“A game like that’s great for us because there’s stuff we need to work on,” Hill pointed out, and he could probably start with the team’s outside shooting. Glacier Peak made five 3-pointers in the game, but missed at least 20.

“We’re usually a pretty good outside shooting team,” he said, “but it wasn’t pretty tonight.”

All that said, the Grizzlies are 8-0 and certainly among the state’s top 3A teams. Not only

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Mariner’s Jalen Hayes (23) goes up for a shot in the middle of the Snohomish defense Friday night.

Jackson: Rossi leads the Timberwolves first six field goal attempts. Rossi’s offense helped the Timberwolves close out the opening stanza with an 11-0 run to take a 22-6 lead.

“He played great,” Johnson said. “I’ve always thought he was a capable player. He was just kind of waiting his turn behind a bunch of good guys in previous years in the program. I thought he played a little too fast and a little too hurried in our first couple games of the year. He’s really relaxed and settled down. He had a good game up in Mount Vernon and obviously played well tonight.”

Rossi benefitted from a Lake Stevens defense that appeared to focus much of its attention on junior guard Sam Saufferer, who was coming off a 34-point performance in Tuesday’s win over Snohomish.

“All the guys were moving the ball around really well and we were getting the defense to shift and I just got my shots from them moving the ball really well,” Rossi said.

Jackson’s offense stalled in the second quarter and Lake Stevens cut the deficit, which had been as many as 17, to 10 at halftime. That was as close as the Vikings got.

Saufferer picked up the Timberwolves’ offense in the third quarter, scoring 11 of his 15 points and Jackson pushed the lead back up to 20 by the end of the quarter.

“They were obviously keying on him quite a bit and some open shots were available to other people, so it was nice that he took what the defense gave him,” Johnson said. “Obviously in the third quarter he got more opportunities, but early in the game when we built the lead, other people were

getting good shots and making them. We took what the defense gave us.”

Jackson also created offense by getting stops defensively.

“We got out and ran and we got some good transition baskets,” Johnson said. “We like to think we’re a quick team and that’s one of our strengths. We can play fast and push the ball. When we can force the other team to miss and when we rebound, we’re capable of getting the ball up the floor and getting good transition baskets and that’s kind of what we did in the first quarter.”

After dropping its first two games, it seemed Jackson’s winning tradition might be in jeopardy and Rossi admits he and his teammates were initially intimidated by the challenge.

“We came out those first two games and were really scared and timid and I thought we got kind of down on ourselves,” he said. “That kind of gave us the good push to come out in these first three league games and really show what we’ve got.”

CHICAGO — Ernie Terrell, whose brief reign as heavyweight champion ended with a punishing loss to Muhammad Ali in 1967, has died. He was 75.

A long-time Chicago resident, Terrell worked as a fight promoter after his boxing career ended and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.

He also built a janitorial company that eventually employed 100 people.

Terrell died Tuesday in Chicago of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to his wife, Maxine.

Terrell’s big break came in 1965, when he met Eddie Machen for the World Boxing Association title that was declared vacant after Ali insisted on a rematch with Sonny Liston before fighting a WBA-mandated contender. Terrell, who stood 6-foot-6 and deployed a withering jab with his 82-inch reach, won a unanimous 15-round decision over Machen and successfully defended his crown against George Chuvalo and Doug Jones before losing to Ali. In 55 professional fights, Terrell posted a 46-9 record with 21 knockouts.

“You want to win at home,” Bone said. “We’re going to have to go to Mariner and that’s going to be to their advantage. If you can win the majority of your games at home and get a couple on the road then you’re probably in the mix in the top three or four teams. We’re hoping we’ll be in the top three or four.”

It was the second consecutive league loss for Mariner (1-2, 4-3), which struggled to get things going in the first half. The Marauders outscored Snohomish 34-24 in the second half but couldn’t overcome the early deficit.

“I thought we came out really flat in the first half,” Ensign said. “I think they started to put the effort in that I’m used to them putting in. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late. ... We have not been able to put together four good quarters all year. We play really well for a half.

Even in our wins we haven’t been able to play well for four quarters.”

Senior wing Erwin Dzeko helped spearhead Mariner’s late comeback with a team-high 24 points — 17 of which came in the second half — and five rebounds.

Dzeko helped the Marauders establish a low-post presence of their own as Mariner continued to chip away at Snohomish’s lead.

“It was good to see him play well tonight,” Ensign said. “He’s a really good shooter and was in a little bit of a slump so it was really good to see him have a good night.”

Ryan Mendoza and Kevin Villalobos scored eight points apiece and Greg Whitaker added four points and 11 rebounds for Mariner.

Snohomish: Mariner struggles early

The News Tribune

The Seattle Sounders will open their seventh Major League Soccer season at 6:30 p.m. on March 8 at CenturyLink Field against the MLS Cup runner-up New England Revolution.

Seattle is 4-2-0 all-time in MLS openers. This will be their seventh straight opener at home, their sixth against an Eastern Conference opponent, and their fifth on national TV. The match will be shown on Fox Sports as part of the league’s new eightyear broadcast deal that also involves ESPN and Univision.

The league on Friday announced the home openers for each of its 20 teams. The entire league schedule is expected to be released next month.

The 20th MLS season opens March 6, when the defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy play host to the Chicago Fire.

Expansion newcomers Orlando City SC and New York City FC will debut with a head-to-head match March 8 at the Orlando Citrus Bowl. The San Jose Earthquakes will open their new Avaya Stadium on March 22 against the Fire. Toronto FC won’t play its home opener until Week 10 of the season because of stadium renovation.

The other Cascadia teams kick off March 7: Vancouver against Toronto, and Portland facing Real Salt Lake.

that, Hill added, “they’re fun, they work hard and they like each other, which really makes it a fun season. My wife came home the other day and I was smiling and she said, ‘You’re having fun, aren’t you?’ And I am. I love this team.”

Mensing, one of just two Glacier Peak seniors, said there were times against Shorecrest “when we knew we should be playing better. But we tried to keep our composure, pick each other up and just keep playing hard.”

Though there are still a lot of games to be played, “I couldn’t be happier,” said Mensing, who led all scorers with 23 points.

“Our goal is to win at state. To play on Saturday and get some hardware. We definitely have a lot to work on and improve, but I think if we work hard and play as a team, we can do it.”

Wurrie Njadoe, Jazzlyn Owens and Uju Chibuogwu had 13 points apiece for Shorecrest, with Chibuogwu converting three 3-pointers

Avril From Page C1

“We’ve really been able to make a couple really strong statements right here with K.J. and Cliff in the last couple days,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “We found the core guys that we really like and we’re trying to keep them here and keep them together. ... You can see how much we’ve leaned on our ‘D’ and how much we believe it has the chance to be together for a long time, and that’s a big statement and a big commitment, and we’re really happy to do that.”

One reason the Seahawks have been able to re-sign two key players in season is that the Percy Harvin trade freed up more than $12 million in cap space between this year and next season. And of course it’s always helpful to have a Pro Bowl quarterback who is making just $662,434.

Avril, 28, came to Seattle in free agency along with Michael Bennett in 2013 to bolster the pass rush, and those two were a huge part of Seattle’s Super Bowl run. Avril had eight sacks last season and five forced fumbles, then had 1.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in the

postseason. And while his production is down this year (4.5 sacks) advanced metrics such as those used by the analytical site Pro Football Focus still have him as one of the league’s most effective pass rushers. According to PFF, Avril has the sixth-best pass rush productivity for 4-3 scheme defensive ends this season, and has the fourth most hurries with 38.

“I’m happy. I’m happy to know that I’ll be back in Seattle with such a great group of guys; the talent on this team is amazing and I’m happy to be a part of it,” Avril said.

And unlike some players who want to test their worth in free agency, that didn’t interest Avril, not after there was a pretty cool market when he hit free agency in 2013 and both he and Michael Bennett signed with Seattle on shorter-and-cheaper-thanexpected deals.

“It’s definitely a relief,” Avril said. “I definitely didn’t want to go into free agency. I didn’t like that process two years ago.

I like it out here, I love what Coach Carroll is doing, I love the scheme. The guys we have in the locker room make it so fun to play here, then just being in Seattle and the environment we have going, I wanted to keep the party going.”

this week, the Seahawks now have those two, plus Bennett, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor all locked up with multi-year deals, meaning this defense will continue to give opposing offenses fits for years to come.

“It’s awesome, it’s great,” Avril said. “It kind of gives you that college feel. You sign and you go to college and you’re going to be with those guys for four or five years, and just knowing that a lot of us are going to be here for the next few years and are only growing and getting better — I’m probably one of the older guys that have gotten signed — so it’s just cool knowing that the locker room won’t change too much. That’s rare in the NFL.”

Seahawks will be without two starting linemen The Seahawks head to Arizona to face a dangerous pass rush minus two of their starting offensive linemen, but it could be worse. Guard J.R. Sweezy returned to practice Friday after missing the previous two days with an ankle injury and will play, Carroll said, but left tackle Russell Okung, who bruised a lung in Sunday’s game against San Francisco, and center Max Unger, who is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain, won’t play.

That means Alvin Bailey will start at left tackle, while Lemuel Jeanpierre would presumably be

the starter at center for the fourth straight game. Carroll did say, however, that Patrick Lewis took reps at center this week, too, and could be an option there. That likely has to do with Sweezy’s injury, as Jeanpierre is also an option at guard, so should Sweezy not make it through the game, Lewis could come in to play center with Jeanpierre moving over to guard.

While the Seahawks will miss Okung, particularly in pass protection, Carroll is confident that Bailey will take a step forward from his performance in relief last week now that he had a whole week at one position.

“It makes a big difference, because every snap he takes in practice is focused on left tackle, every moment in the meetings is all focused on play there as opposed to looking at guard and tackle and left side, right side, all of that kind of stuff that he’s had to do in the past,” Carroll said. “So it certainly helps, and he had a good solid week.”

Paul Richardson, who was a surprise addition to the injury report Thursday with a hamstring injury, “was fine today,” Carroll said. “We just gave him a break yesterday.”

Receiver Chris Matthews, who has been a big contributor on special teams in the past two games since signing off the practice squad, is questionable with a hamstring injury suffered in practice Thursday.

Also questionable is tight end Tony Moeaki, who injured his shoulder in Sunday’s game, but Seattle will get tight end Cooper Helfet back from an ankle injury.

Stanton might suit up vs. Seattle Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians says quarterback Drew Stanton might suit up against Seattle on Sunday night but would not start.

At best, Arians said, Stanton could back up starter Ryan Lindley.

Stanton sprained his right knee in last week’s win at St. Louis.

He practiced on a limited basis Thursday but did not practice on Friday.

Earlier in the week, Arians said he thought Stanton would be out two to four weeks.

The coach said Friday that Stanton had made “good progress” this week and it will be a game-time decision whether he will suit up against the Seahawks.

If Stanton can’t go, Lindley’s backup would be rookie Logan Thomas.

Redskins’ Moss fined $22,050 NEW YORK — Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss was fined $22,050 by the NFL for language deemed “abusive and insulting” directed at game officials.

Souza dealt to Rays in 3-team trade Cascade High School alum part of 11-player deal that sends former AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers to San Diego.

Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Rays, Padres and Nationals finalized an 11-player trade Friday that sent 2013 AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers from Tampa Bay to San Diego and Cascade High School alum Steven Souza from Washington to the Rays.

The deal was announced two days after the Rays agreed to part with Myers in a move that president of baseball operations Matt Silverman said will make Tampa Bay “more competitive for 2015 and beyond.”

Tampa Bay acquired five players. Catcher Rene Rivera, pitcher Burch Smith and minor league first baseman Jake Bauers come over from the Padres, and outfielder Souza and minor league pitcher Travis Ott from the Nationals.

Myers, catcher Ryan Hanigan and minor league pitchers Jose Castillo and Gerardo Reyes were dealt to San Diego. Washington received minor league pitcher Joe Ross and a player to be named from the Padres.

“Trading Wil Myers was not an easy decision, but we are very excited about the talent coming

back our way, and this deal has potential to improve our team on both sides of the ball,” Silverman said.

Myers, then Kansas City’s top prospect, was acquired by Tampa Bay in a trade that sent pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals two years ago. He hit .293 with 13 homers and 53 RBI in 88 games on the way to being selecting AL Rookie of the Year, then struggled in 2014 when a broken right wrist limited him to playing 87 games and batting .222 with six homers and 35 RBI. Silverman said during last week’s winter meetings that he expected Myers to rebound with a big season. On Friday, he rejected the notion the Rays appeared to have given up on the 24-year-old slugger.

“This isn’t about giving up on Wil Myers. This is about a trade to make this team better,” the executive said, adding that Myers’ vast talent enabled the Rays to make a deal that can help the team both offensively and defensively.

To clear room on the 40-man roster for Rivera, Smith and Souza, the Rays designated right-hander Brandon Gomes

“

ASSOCIATED PRESS

He’s an outfielder with tremendous talent. We expect him to be a mainstay in our lineup for years to come.

— Matt Silverman Tampa Bay president of baseball operations on Cascade alum Steven Souza

for assignment.

Souza spent most of last season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he hit .350 with 18 homers, 75 RBI and 26 stolen bases.

The 25-year-old was a September call-up for the Nationals, best known for a sprinting, diving catch in left field for the final out of Jordan Zimmermann’s

no-hitter in the NL East champs’ regular-season finale.

Souza did not make the team’s postseason roster, however, he was expected to compete for a spot on the bench behind starters Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth and Denard Span next season.

Silverman said the Rays have not decided where they’ll play Souza, who has experience at all three outfield positions and third base.

“He’s an outfielder with tremendous talent,” Silverman said. “We expect him to be a mainstay in our lineup for years to come.”

Rivera, 31, batted .252 with 11 homers and 44 RBI while making a career-high 85 starts at catcher for the Padres in 2014.

Smith is a 24-year-old righthander who was 15-11 with a 3.71 ERA in 48 appearances over parts of four minor league seasons. He spent 2014 with Triple-A El Paso, where he made two April starts before missing the remainder of the years with a forearm injury.

Bauers, a 19-year-old prospect, hit .296 with eight homers and 64 RBI in his first full pro season with Class-A Fort Wayne.

Ott, also 19, split time between Class-A Auburn and Hagerstown last season, going 1-4 with a 3.99 ERA over 13 starts.

Padres continue to wheel and deal, acquire Upton, Middlebrooks Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Landing another of baseball’s top power hitters, the San Diego Padres acquired Atlanta outfielder Justin Upton on Friday in a trade that sent four prospects to the Braves.

The Padres already made two huge trades in recent days to get outfielders, acquiring slugger Matt Kemp from the Los Angeles Dodgers and former AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers from Tampa Bay.

Now, San Diego has picked up one of baseball’s top righthanded power threats in Upton, who will earn $14.5 million in the final year of his contract. He had 29 homers and 102 RBI last season The Braves acquired lefthander Max Fried, infielder Jace Peterson, third baseman Dustin Peterson and outfielder Mallex Smith, as well as San Diego’s fourth international bonus pool slot. Jace Peterson is the only player who’s spent any time in the

majors.

The Padres also get righthander Aaron Northcraft.

San Diego also agreed to obtain third baseman Will Middlebrooks from the Boston Red Sox for catcher Ryan Hanigan, two people with knowledge of the deal said Friday.

Hanigan was obtained by San Diego from Tampa Bay in Friday’s 11-player, three-team deal.

Middlebrooks hit 15 homers as a rookie in 2012 and 17 in 2013 before injuries, a .191 average

and shuttling up and down from Triple-A led to what he called “a rough year.”

Royals ink OF Rios KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals announced the signing of veteran outfielder Alex Rios to an $11 million, one-year deal that includes a mutual option for the 2016 season.

Rios hit .280 with four homers and 54 RBI for Texas last season.

Yankees, Marlins make deal NEW YORK — The Yankees acquired pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, outfielder Garrett Jones and minor league

pitcher Domingo German from the Miami Marlins on Friday for utilityman Martin Prado and pitcher David Phelps.

Eovaldi, a right-hander who turns 25 in February, was 6-14 with a 4.37 ERA last season.

Pirates, Ex-Mariner Hart agree PITTSBURGH — First baseman Corey Hart and the Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a $2.5 million, one-year contract.

The 32-year-old Hart hit .203 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 68 games for the Seattle Mariners in 2014, most of them as a designated hitter.

MINNEAPOLIS — Carlos Morris scored a season-high 19 points, Mo Walker had 15 points and six rebounds and Minnesota romped past Seattle U 92-57 Friday for its sixth straight victory.

Andre Hollins and Nate Mason each added 15 points for the Gophers (9-2).

Bakary Konate pitched in nine points and eight rebounds, both career highs for the freshman, and DeAndre Mathieu had nine

UW

From Page C1

“They, from what we can see, will be the best team we’ll play in our nonconference schedule,” coach Lorenzo Romar said. “They can shoot the ball. They can score in the paint. They really guard you. They’re versatile. They’re not going to make many mistakes.

They’re a well-coached, well-oiled team.”

And they’re also the only remaining team on UW’s non-league schedule that figures to have a chance to blemish the Huskies’ unbeaten record.

After playing the Sooners, the Huskies return home for far less taxing games against Tulane and Stony Brook. The UW’s worst-case scenario, then, is likely an 11-1 record heading into the Pacific-12 Conference portion of its schedule — which would be better than most expected, and a betterthan-good start toward a sufficient NCAA tournament résumé.

Beat Oklahoma (7-2), though, and the Huskies (9-0) will almost certainly be 12-0 — and ranked in the nation’s top 15 — when they take the court for their

California 78, Eastern Washington 67

assists and six steals. The Gophers scored 80-plus points for the fifth straight game, matching their December streak from 2009. They had seven in a row in 1966.

Jadon Cohee led he Redhawks (5-6) with 14 points.

Mathieu led the Gophers’ relentless fullcourt press that decided the game before halftime.

He had four steals less than five minutes into the game.

The Gophers had 12 of their 16 steals in the first half on their way to a 43-21 lead.

BERKELEY, Calif. — Christian Behrens scored a career-high 20 points, including eight late in the second half and Tyrone Wallace added 21 points and 11 rebounds as the Golden Bears (10-1) beat the Eagles (8-4) to match their best season start in 55 years.

Cal has won seven straight games despite being without half of its starting backcourt. It overcame a sluggish start for the third consecutive game behind a pair of big runs — closing the first half with a 16-2 burst, then outscoring the Eagles 20-5 in less than four minutes during the second half to pull away for good.

Pac-12 opener at California on Jan. 2.

All of which, of course, is speculation that does not interest Romar.

“In my opinion, if you were able to win it, I think it’s another game where you’re undefeated.

If you lose it, you came up short. I don’t know what it says,” Romar said. “I said (Wednesday) night, this game, win or lose, is not going to define our season.”

But it could help determine just how good the Huskies really are. Unlike San Diego State, which was ranked 13th when UW beat it 49-36 at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the Sooners can actually score.

They average 75 points per game, have four players in their starting lineup that average double-figures in scoring and they collect 41.2 rebounds per game, a figure that ranks 21st nationally. They’ve lost to Creighton and 5th-ranked Wisconsin, and have beaten Butler and UCLA. Buddy Hield, a 6-foot-4 junior guard, is the leader of that crew. He averages 16.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Romar again emphasized the need for his team to continue refining its defensive habits — they’ve

so far allowed opponents to shoot just 32.8 percent from the field, fourth-best in the country — because Oklahoma will actually capitalize on UW’s errors.

“That could be the difference in the game,” Romar said. “I don’t mean turning the ball over as a mistake.

Forgetting to rotate on a drive. Forgetting to rotate on the backside. Not closing out on a really good shooter when you’re supposed to. Those are the type of mental mistakes we can’t make.”

They haven’t made many so far, but Romar said some of their slip-ups go unnoticed by casual observers because 7-foot center Robert Upshaw makes up for them with his shot-blocking ability.

“We need to eliminate some of those defensive mistakes,” Romar said, “so we don’t have to rely on somebody making a big-time athletic play to save us.”

Oklahoma has big-time athletes, too.

“They’re a good team,” said Williams-Goss, who as a high-school sophomore committed to play for coach Lon Kruger, then at UNLV. “Really good offensively. They’re a lot better defensively this year than they were last year. They’re pretty balanced.”

Former trading post that became a refuge for artists is perfect for a day trip

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

The Rainbow Bridge connects La Conner to the Swinomish Reservation on the east side of the channel.

Lovely La Conner

By Gale Fiege

Tourist in Your Own Town

Herald Writer

LA CONNER — They call it the magic hour.

The period just before sunset attracts photographers who wait for that perfect golden light. At this time of year in La Conner, it’s a good bet that the rain will stop for a few minutes, too, and the town’s iconic Rainbow Bridge will be displayed in that soft glow.

As we approach the winter solstice, the magic hour peaks at about 4 p.m.

That’s also a good time, after you get the shot, to step inside one of the many cozy restaurants in town. After sunset, it’s sure to start raining again.

That’s OK. Eat a good meal and watch the lights twinkle in the raindrops on the windows overlooking the Swinomish Channel.

La Conner, long home to the Swinomish Tribe, was established in about 1870. Its history as a trading post, a logging center, a steamship stop, a fishing village and a hub for local farmers was eclipsed in the 1970s when it developed into a tourist destination, complete with museums, art galleries, gift shops and fancy eateries.

Blame it on the state’s most historically famous artists, Guy Anderson, Morris Graves, Mark Tobey and Kenneth Callahan. Only Anderson settled in La Conner permanently, but they all visited, charmed by the light and the Asian-quality of the landscape.

And they attracted dozens of other brilliant artists, along with the former newspaper art critic and popular novelist Tom Robbins, who still lives uptown.

See if you can pick out his place.

OK, and blame the town’s tourists on the tulips, too. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival had its start more than 30 years ago. The people who dreamed up the festival were from Mount Vernon, but the tourists clogged the roads into La Conner. Owing to a few good roundabout intersections established in the past 10 years, travel is a lot better during the month of April when nearby fields are bright with tulip blooms.

In each of our cities in Snohomish and Island counties, we have tourist attractions often overlooked by the people who live here. Have you taken the time to be a Tourist in Your Own Town? This month we venture just a bit farther afield with a trip to La Conner and Conway, just over the Skagit County line. This the 12th in a continuing series of monthly explorations of our hometowns. For more Tourist in Your Own Town stories, go to www. heraldnet.com/tourist.

La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum’s executive director Amy Green walks through the Hawaiian Quilt exhibit at the museum.

The Belgian endive salad with pomegranates and hazelnuts is served at the Nell Thorn Waterfront Bistro & Pub.

Anyway, back to supper.

Our recommendation is Nell Thorn.

Last year, owners Susan and Casey Schanen moved their bistro into their current waterfront location at 116 S. First St. Sit in the intimate pub, the more formal waterside dining room or enjoy supper with the locals in the main bistro. In the summer, dine on the deck.

Wherever you sit, enjoy the locally sourced food and creative Northwest menu. These people have it figured out.

Another place to visit is the new Anelia’s Kitchen & Stage, also on First. They have entertainment most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Nearly everyone who makes a day trip to La Conner strolls along First Street to visit the shops and galleries.

Some storefronts emptied out during the economic recession, but most are back, filled with delightful stuff.

Some of the best include Gallery Cygnus, which focuses on the best from local artists such as Swinomish carver Kevin Paul, sculptor/painter Clayton James and painter Maggie Wilder, and Cassera Arts Premiers, which has a great collection of Guy Anderson paintings.

Also check out the Ginger Grater kitchen and olive shop, the Stall imports shop and the Wood Merchant furniture gallery.

Walk throughout town to view the La Conner’s outdoor sculpture collection.

In fact, a walk from Pioneer Park on the south to the marina on the north is a great idea before supper.

The top must-see in town is the Museum of Northwest Art, 121 S. First St. And it’s a great place to spend a rainy winter day.

Opened decades ago as Valley Museum of Northwest Art by photographer Art Hupy, MoNA is now a world-class museum. The permanent collection is outstanding, and some of it is always displayed on the second floor.

But wait, La Conner has two other museums, both worth a visit.

The La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum is housed in the Gaches Mansion at 703 S. Second St. It’s one of only 14 such museums in the country.

Before Christmas, be sure to check out the first floor of the mansion, decorated in fine Victorian style. Upstairs in the galleries, see fabulous quilt shows and textile exhibits.

From the Gaches, walk a few more blocks up the hill to the Skagit County Historical Museum, 501 S. Fourth St. Ask to see the easterly view of the valley from the main hall. On a clear day, you can see from mounts Baker to Three Fingers to Rainier. A Christmas exhibit is on now at the museum and you can always pick up a map to see all the heritage barns in the area.

Speaking of barns, on your way back to the freeway, take in a concert at the Conway Muse, a performance venue in an old barn. Some of the best regional bands and combos play there.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Loop daughter in on feelings about looks Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: How do I respond to the numerous adults who tell me, in front of my 10-year-old daughter, how pretty she is? I tend to just say thanks and move on (sometimes these are people I know, and sometimes not), but I’m beginning to worry how this is affecting her.

She and her friends are starting to become much more body/image conscious and I don’t want all these compliments to make her more so.

This seems to be a repeat from my own childhood, and I still cringe as I remember my parents responding, “Thank you, but even more importantly, she is nice and smart!” I know they were saying that for my benefit, but I do not want to do that. However, I do want my girl to know that her gifts of empathy and humor, etc., are things she can really be proud of ... with the underlying message, perhaps, that beauty, while an asset, is really just a matter of luck.

— Anonymous Have you ever asked her how she feels when people do this?

Run it by her next time this happens; it could lead to an interesting conversation about looks (hers, yours, everyone’s) and values (hers, yours, society’s) and what

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT well-meaning doofuses people can be. Bringing her into the conversation will do orders of magnitude more for her intellectual and emotional self-awareness, I expect, than telling her or others how smart/funny/empathetic she is.

Hi, Carolyn: My mother is fighting cancer and ever since she was diagnosed, she rarely discuss the illness — approximately twice a month. She is very private and so it is difficult to figure out how she is doing and how I can help her.

I am trying to respect her wishes, but as a young adult, I struggle with the possibility of losing my mother and how to help her. Do you have any suggestions on how to cope with the situation and overcome my own worries?

I’m sorry.

Your impulse to get involved is natural, but problematic, too.

You want to ease your worries by doing something concrete, but if you press your reluctant mother to talk about how she is or say what she wants or needs, then you’re essentially shifting the work of addressing your worries onto her — and I know that’s the last thing you want to do.

One basic way around this is to decide something you’d like to do for her — keep it low key — then say you’re going to do it unless she tells you not to. “I’m free Saturday so I’m going to come stock your fridge and do your laundry, unless you tell me not to. Is 10 a.m. OK?” For what it’s worth, discussing her health about twice a month is not what I would call “rarely.” To me, it sounds as if she’s keeping you apprised without having to dwell on it. Consider reflecting her preference in the way you ask — i.e., stay in close touch, but ask directly about her health only once a fortnight or so.

Dear Abby: My husband took up the guitar about 10 years ago. I thought it was a great idea at first and encouraged his interest. Within two years of his learning to play, I was expected to sit, listen to him and never interrupt a song.

Needless to say, his demands have not gone over well with me. This is his hobby, not mine. He plays well, but can’t sing a note. When he does, he sounds like a cat in heat, and he likes to perform like he’s playing for a crowd.

My peace and quiet at home are gone. He says I don’t support him. — Wants Peace And Quiet Dear Wants: Your husband wants praise and validation, and you should give it to him in the area RIP HAYWIRE

where it’s deserved — for having mastered the guitar. However, because his singing needs tweaking, be honest and tactfully suggest he find a vocal coach to help him in that area. If he reacts defensively, be sure to mention that some of the finest singers in the world get coaching throughout their careers to avoid damaging their vocal cords.

PS. Perhaps you should encourage him to find other musicians to start a group. That way, he’ll have an outlet for his talent and you’ll be free (at last!).

Dear Abby: I am an eighth-grader in junior high, and there is a girl I really like. My problem is I’m afraid to tell her I love her. I know she likes someone else and wants to go out with him, but I don’t know if she likes me.

When I’m home, I write her poems, and I want to drop them off at her locker, but I am scared to. We are in three classes together. — Nervous Boy Dear Nervous Boy: If you’re smart, you’ll wait until that girl is over her crush before declaring your feelings for her. The boy she has her eye on may or may not be interested in her. But as long as she’s fixated on him, she won’t be receptive to a romance with you, and it could be embarrassing if you say anything prematurely.

BRIDGE When an optimist goes fishing, he takes a camera (and a tape measure, a frying pan and some tartar sauce). But rosy views may not work at bridge. In a team match, both Souths played at four hearts. At one table, South won the club opening lead and optimistically led a trump to his ten. West took the queen and shifted to the ten of spades. South won and next let the jack of diamonds ride, but East produced the king and cashed two spades.

I have to keep lying to her and it hurts. I want to stop, but I can’t.

Ask her to hear you out before she reacts. Then tell her everything you have told me and ask for her help. That’s what mothers are for.

If necessary, show her your letter to me and my response because she needs to understand that when individuals selfinjure, it is often to cope with serious depression — which is an illness — and it takes the help of a mental health professional to stop.

South went down two.

South would have won 13 tricks on a lucky day, but at the other table, South was a pessimist. (He knew the fish would be biting the day before he arrived or the day after he went home.) After winning the first club, South cashed the A-K of trumps to gain time. He next finessed in diamonds.

East won and shifted to spades, and South played low.

He won the next spade and ran the diamonds. When West ruffed, he had no more spades, so South was able to pitch his last spade on a good diamond, making the contract.

FASHION

The weekend’s highlights on TV include: You’ll score points with your teen daughters if you let them know that One Direction will be the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live.” And, oh yeah, Amy Adams will host.

11:29 p.m. Saturday, NBC. “The Sound of Music Live!”: Last year’s hit returns to rub salt into Peter Pan’s wounds. 8 p.m. Saturday, NBC. “Christmas Icetastrophe”: An errant meteorite brings dangerous ice and freezing temps to a tiny town. 9 p.m. Saturday, Syfy.

We were so ready to give up on “Homeland” after a clunky Season 3 in which Brody met his maker. But Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin and company have revived our interest with a turbocharged fourth season that, sadly, comes to an end this week. We can only hope our heroes make it out of strife-torn

Islamabad alive. 9 p.m.

Sunday, Showtime.

We already told you about the live “Sound of Music” on Saturday. But what you really want to see is the “real” one with Julie Andrews. 8 p.m.

Sunday, ABC. We have no idea what will happen to starcrossed lovers Noah and Alison (Dominic West and Ruth Wilson) when “The Affair” wraps up its scintillating first season tonight. But as usual, we’ll be riveted to our sofas and loudly scolding them both. 10 p.m. Sunday, Showtime.

“Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons”: Take whatever you want, really. Just go. 9 p.m. Sunday, E! They’ve made a culinary list and they’re checking it twice on “Top 10 Restaurants with Food Network Magazine,” 9 p.m. Sunday, Food.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, Dec. 20, the 354th day of 2014.

There are 11 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Dec. 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union as all 169 delegates to a special convention in Charleston voted in favor of separation.

On this date: In 1790, the first successful cotton mill in the United States began operating at Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was completed as ownership of the territory was formally transferred from France to the United States.

In 1812, German authors Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the first volume of the first edition of their collection of folk stories, “Children’s and Household Tales.”

In 1864, Confederate forces evacuated Savannah, Georgia, as Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman nearly completed his “March to the Sea.” In 1924, Adolf Hitler was released from prison after serving nine months for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch; during his time behind bars, he’d written his autobiographical screed, “Mein Kampf.”

N.Y. Fashion Week shown the door NEW YORK — C’est la vie, fashionistas. The city of New York and Lincoln Center are evicting the invitation-only, twice-yearly Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in a court spat over destroyed trees and displaced park benches.

A judge Friday approved a pretrial settlement in a complaint brought by community groups. They objected to the onslaught of the fashion industry at Damrosch Park, a 2.4-acre stretch on the Upper West Side that is adjacent to and managed by Lincoln Center.

The groups argued the insular nature of the fashion shows that draw top designers and hundreds of buyers, editors and journalists violate laws governing public use of the land. Each February and September, the stilettoheeled hordes cram the Lincoln Center complex for eight days of runway shows and presentations held in a large temporary tent.

“We’re going to get flowers and benches and there’s going to be a park again,” said Olive Freud,

president of the Committee for Environmentally Sound Development, one of the groups that filed the complaint in May 2013. “We’re all very happy here.”

The upcoming February Fashion Week will be held at Lincoln Center as scheduled but must find new digs after that. Andrew Serrano, a spokesman for IMG Fashion, which owns and produces Fashion Week, confirmed the settlement Thursday.

The settlement does not include any admission of wrongdoing or cover other private events held on the land, including the Big

Apple Circus, a ticket event that is open to the public.

Fashion Week for years had been held in Bryant Park. In search of more space, it moved to the Lincoln Center area in 2010.

Freud said Damrosch had been public park since 1969.

“We objected to the whole idea of demolishing a park and of throwing the public out and of making this a place for raising money,” she said. “Private people aren’t supposed to be making money on it.”

Many designers had tired of the Lincoln Center location’s box-like spaces and hurried turnaround

between shows, choosing edgier, more atmospheric spaces in downtown Manhattan and even Brooklyn that allow greater creativity in how shows are presented. Of more than 300 shows, less than 100 were held at Lincoln Center in recent years, with more leaving each time Fashion Week rolled around.

Serrano said IMG had already been actively looking for a new Fashion Week home to give “designers and partners the best possible environment to share their creative visions.”

Susan Scafidi, a founder and academic director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School, said the legal doctrine cited in the case is based on a principle about as old as fashion itself.

“The lawsuit rested on the public trust doctrine, a legal principle dating back to Roman times that requires the state to protect certain areas of land against privatization and to preserve public access,” she said.

TV

‘Sisters’ draws criticism, loses sponsors LOS ANGELES — VH1 says it’s sticking with “Sorority Sisters” despite criticism of the reality show’s depiction of black sorority members and the growing defection of commercial sponsors.

There are no plans to change the 10-episode series that “seems to be connecting with its audience,” the channel said in a statement late Wednesday.

About 1.3 million people watched Monday’s debut episode.

The show drew protests even before airing, both when it was announced last summer and when a promotional video was

released online. The video showcased typical reality show fireworks, with insults and tears among its cast of sorority members who graduated from Atlanta-area colleges.

The backlash included an online petition that drew more than 40,000 supporters demanding the project be abandoned, said Lawrence Ross, one of the organizers. When VH1 aired the show, he said, “it confirmed all of our worst visions.”

“These are organizations with over a million college educated members, all which serve the AfricanAmerican community

for a lifetime. ... ‘Sorority Sisters’ uses that legacy and reduces it to a perverse caricature,” said Ross, author of “The Divine Nine: The History of AfricanAmerican Fraternities and Sororities.”

Several sponsors have responded to the protest — which uses the hashtag “BoycottSororitySisters” — by pulling their ads from the show.

“The content of this program does not meet our guidelines” or align with the company’s brand, T-Mobile said in a statement Thursday.

Hallmark is not advertising on “Sorority Sisters”

because of consumer reaction, spokeswoman Linda Odell said.

VH1 declined to comment on specific sponsors, citing confidentiality agreements, but said, “We do enjoy successful, longterm partnerships with our advertisers and are happy to honor any requests to move spots to other parts of our schedule.”

According to Ross, the protest campaign is not over.

“VH1 will remove the show because we’re going to make advertising on this show toxic,” he said.
