After decades, it Seems that this is goodbye The final column of Herald Columnist Jack O’Donnell, who is retiring, runs in today’s paper.

ack O’Donnell began writing Seems Like Yesterday in 1990.

His local column reprises news, sports and other tidbits

published in The Herald 25 years ago and 50 years ago.

Today, The Herald is publishing the final Seems Like Yesterday column compiled by O’Donnell, who is retiring from the task.

“I’m not going to go back and go through the 1965 papers again. I’ve done that,” he said.

O’Donnell explained that the “25 years ago” items he wrote about when he started have become “the 50-year stuff.” He

the last Seems Like >> Read Yesterday on D6. hopes the newspaper will find a fresh way to highlight local history.

In the beginning, the how-to was simple: four paragraphs total, with lots of names. That’s how O’Donnell remembers the instructions Herald editor Jeanne Metzger gave him when he took over the task of writing Seems Like Yesterday.

It’s unclear how long the column has been part of The Herald, but it’s been a six-day-a-week fixture for decades.

When O’Donnell, now a 69-year-old retired teacher, took over Seems Like Yesterday he was helped by Lew Ramstad. Until her retirement in 1989, it had been compiled by Lis Masi. She died in 1998.

O’Donnell and Ramstad — both Everett High School graduates and Everett natives

— began combing through copies of The Herald from January 1940 and 1965. Ramstad died in 1996.

Writing Seems Like Yesterday has meant reading The Herald on microfilm, but O’Donnell began his job by culling items from old bound copies of the paper at the Everett Public Library. He sometimes was allowed to take papers home. O’Donnell and See SEEMS, Page A7

LOCHSLOY — There still are pieces of concrete and rebar from where the Pilchuck River swallowed the house in 2012.

Now the river is eroding toward Highway 92 between Granite Falls and Lake Stevens. Behind an orange-and-white barrier, waisthigh posts mark the distance from the highway — 40 feet, 50 feet, 60, 65.

There is no marker at 70 feet.

That’s where the ground ends and the river begins.

Your trusted source for local deals brings you...

The drop-off, at least 20 feet with the river winding below, is picturesque on a mild, sunny winter afternoon. But when the river is swollen, it gnaws at the eroding cliff, undercutting where the driveway once was for the home that stood here.

A $4 million state project is being designed to save the highway before erosion reaches the two-lane road.

In the meantime, crews are monitoring the river’s proximity to the pavement. Officials are confident they have time before the highway See RIVER, Page A2

EVERETT — The American Red Cross is distributing more than 1,000 free smoke alarms in Snohomish County as part of a campaign to prevent fire-related deaths.

The program overlaps with efforts to help the Stillaguamish Valley recover from the fatal March mudslide and prepare for future emergencies.

Hundreds of the alarms are going to Oso, Darrington and surrounding areas. The Everett Fire Department is tasked with getting alarms out to local mobile home parks by mid-January. The Arlington Fire Department is set to get 250 alarms, and the Oso Fire District received a big box.

The program is expected to continue for another four years, said Jamie Gravelle, disaster services manager for the Snohomish County chapter of the Red Cross.

About 630 of the alarms have been distributed, with another 400 going out next week, she said.

In the Stillaguamish Valley, the alarm program was partially funded from mudslide donation dollars. Countywide, it’s also funded through the Red Cross national smoke alarms campaign.

As of mid-September, the Red Cross had received nearly $4.7 million in donations related to the mudslide. Roughly half of that already has been spent or earmarked for specific projects, according to the agency’s six-month report. Updated figures, including the cost of the smoke alarms, weren’t available this week due to the holidays, Gravelle said.

The national smoke alarms campaign was designed to help those living in areas with a history of fires and those who might be more vulnerable to fires, including the elderly and

Two years ago, Clayton and Catherine Bess lost their retirement home at 7207 Highway 92 to the same sharp meander in the Pilchuck. The river flooded in February 2012. Their house went first, then the garage. A short gravel drive and white pipes that jut out of the ground are the

about smoke alarms in the Everett area, the Red Cross plans to go door-to-door in mobile home parks.

That’s because mobile homes can be more susceptible to fires, and mobile home fires can be particularly deadly, Gravelle said.

In Oso and Darrington, they’ve asked local groups already entrenched in the community for help spreading the word, Gravelle said. The plan for Darrington still is being worked out, though 500 backpacks containing basic emergency supplies also are being given to families living in the Darrington School District.

“It’s nothing fancy, for sure, but it’s a starting point,” Gravelle said.

highway is safe for cars and trucks. Traffic could be funneled to one lane or rerouted via detours if needed, but Phelps doesn’t anticipate narrowing or closing the road in the coming year. However, the department will continue to keep an eye on the river where it’s been eating away the earth.

“The typical erosion you see is that undercutting, and then the top kind of falls in,” Phelps said. “We’re definitely monitoring that.

We have time.”

the low income, Gravelle said.

At least 49 people died in fires in Snohomish County between May 2004 and December 2012, according to state data. Five fatal fires were reported here in 2013 and two in 2014, most recently in May at a south Everett apartment complex. At least five of the county’s fire deaths in the past decade have been children, data show.

Partners in the Red Cross program include the cities of Arlington, Darrington and Everett, Senior Services of Snohomish County, and the fire districts in Oso, Rural Arlington and Getchell.

Alarms also went to the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe and the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians.

“As they’ve got the time

and the staffing they can get them out,” Gravelle said. “They know the neighbors better than we do and they’ve got the contacts.”

A new volunteer took over the project in December.

In the Stilly Valley, the Red Cross has been guided by strict rules for how donation dollars can be spent, Gravelle said. That includes efforts to improve emergency preparedness and prevention.

The conversation is, “How do we help the whole

community to be a little more resilient as we move forward?” Gravelle said.

The Red Cross still is addressing unmet needs for mudslide victims using community donations, Gravelle said.

“The level of generosity from the public was just amazing,” she said.

From early on, donation dollars were used for funeral and memorial expenses, medical equipment, health care and counseling. Longterm recovery work at the Red Cross also focuses on housing, furniture and individual survivor needs, in addition to “community preparedness and rebuilding efforts in coordination with local partners,” the Red Cross mudslide report says.

only remaining evidence of the home. When the river runs low enough, you can also see a jumble of concrete and rebar in the water below.

Bob Krull, a 78-year-old Boeing retiree, lives about two miles from the former Bess home. He remembers when the river claimed the house, and he’s been concerned about the erosion since.

Last week, Krull and his wife stopped to look at the site. Krull isn’t worried about his house, a couple of miles from the river, but he knows the highway is an important route for commuters and for truck drivers who haul loads

from local quarries.

“The river is right there,” Krull said. “It’s really, really close. If they don’t do something, it’s going to undercut the highway, and that would be a disaster.”

The state is reviewing options to protect the highway, said Travis Phelps, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. Maintenance crews check the site weekly.

“We still have quite a bit of time before the river becomes an immediate threat to the highway,” Phelps said. “Part of what we need to do is work with the county and others to

look at the floodplain there.

We want to make sure whatever fix we find there won’t just kick things down the road and create other problems.”

The county is aware of the problem and will get involved if any county roads become threatened, spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.

Officials hope to finalize in 2016 a design for the state project, which has been awarded funding.

Construction could start as soon as 2017, but crews have a limited window to work alongside the river because of fish migration, Phelps said.

Legislators decline invite to chief justice The traditional State of the Judiciary address is considered “horrible waste of time” by some lawmakers and most don’t even bother to attend.

Associated Press OLYMPIA — The chief justice of the state Supreme Court will not give the traditional speech to the Washington Legislature when the session convenes next month.

Lawmakers decided not to invite Chief Justice Barbara Madsen to speak, citing conflicts with

the legislative calendar and poor attendance at such speeches in the past.

The move could be seen as a slap at the court for finding the Legislature in contempt in a school funding case, The Olympian reported Tuesday.

Lawmakers say that’s not the reason.

Madsen said she’s disappointed and will give her report in writing.

“The State of the Judiciary address has been a tradition in Washington state for several decades now. It has served as a positive tool to inform the Legislature and the public about the state of Washington’s justice system,” Madsen said in a written statement. “I hope that, in the future, the Supreme Court will again be invited to make this important presentation.”

The court found lawmakers in contempt this year when they failed to come up with a court-ordered funding plan for public schools. Justices are postponing sanctions until after the 2015 session.

The Senate Facilities and Operations Committee voiced concerns about the speech last month.

“To be honest with you, most people think it’s a horrible waste of time. Most members don’t get much out of it. Most members

Tired out after 13 flipping miles Petty Officer Michael McCastle took a 250-pound tire on the road to raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Child porn is suspected Police in North Carolina believe former Everett optometrist John O’Brien may have downloaded images.

By Janis Reid Whidbey News-Times

In a monumental effort for his dad, Petty Officer Michael McCastle completed 13 miles flipping a 250-pound tire in cold and wet weather Saturday.

Though McCastle lost his father the day before the event, he said his spirit bolstered his efforts.

“I felt like he was there with me,” McCastle said. “I was where he needed me to be, and I drew strength from that.”

While raising awareness for Wounded Warrior Project was his primary objective, McCastle raised more than $700. He said he plans to leave the website active until Jan. 1 to allow for additional donations. Funds raised will be donated to WWP in honor of Alvin Decker, a veteran who lost his battle with personal demons, according to McCastle.

“It wasn’t about the monetary donations,” McCastle. “I like people just to know about WWP and their mission.”

McCastle said during the course of the fundraising challenge he got “banged up pretty good, but it’s nothing that won’t heal.”

He flipped the tire 137 spans of a 500-foot paved street starting at around 4 a.m. and finishing around 2 p.m.

His forearm muscles are torn up, he said, along with his hips and back, and even though he wore gloves he broke some fingernails almost completely off trying to grip the tire.

McCastle was hospitalized after a July attempt to break the Guiness World Record for most pullups completed in a 24-hour period. He completed 3,202 pullups, 828 short of the standing record, but raised more than $10,000 for WWP. McCastle’s girlfriend, NormaJean Hunter, was on hand to

don’t even bother attending,” said Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver.

No one objected to skipping the speech in 2015. The House leadership came to a similar conclusion.

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, met with Madsen the week before Christmas to explain that no offense was intended.

“I made clear we have no interest in legislation that is meant to punish the courts or hold them in any disregard,” he said.

lend support and to keep track of his progress. Hunter, a personal trainer, said it was hard to see McCastle in pain but that “pain is only temporary.”

“I’m so proud of him,” Hunter said. “I know what it means to him.”

Sarah Gallella, a veteran herself, brought her young sons who hugged and high-fived McCastle when he finished a lap.

“As a mother, I am always looking for interesting, positive things to introduce my boys to,” Gallella said. “I was impressed that Mike was using such a unique way to bring awareness to Wounded

Warrior Project. He was a great role model on how to set a goal, experience a personal setback with his father passing, and still persevere using Navy values, honor, courage and commitment, all with a smile on his face.”

“I was really impressed that he could lift the tire,” said Edward, 10. “My brother and I together could barely lift the tire.”

McCastle is already looking toward his next challenge, a rope climb to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research in the spring. Among other health problems, McCastle’s father suffered with Parkinson’s, so the

cause hits close to home.

“I think I’ll be ready to start training in a couple of weeks,” he said.

McCastle said around 15 people showed up to the event throughout the day and even more honked as they drove by to show support.

“I feel thankful, humble and blessed by everyone who supported me,” he said.

EVERETT — Police believe a former Everett optometrist downloaded child pornography in North Carolina in June, two months before he was accused in Snohomish County of groping a 10-yearold patient.

The Fayetteville Police Department received a cyber tip from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children in August. By that time, John Patrick O’Brien already had moved to Washington state and had begun a practice in the 3700 block of Broadway.

A detective from the Fayetteville department told Everett police in September that he’d obtained three images believed to be child pornography, according to a search warrant filed in connection with the Everett case.

An agent with the North Carolina Bureau of Investigation traced the internet address to O’Brien’s former business.

Everett detectives obtained the search warrant to access a Gmail account allegedly used

by O’Brien between June 11 when the images were downloaded and Sept. 16 when he was arrested in Snohomish County.

They suspect O’Brien was generating his own sexually explicit images in August when he allegedly photographed a young patient in various stages of undress.

Associated Press HAYDEN, Idaho — A 2-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his mother after he reached into her purse at a Wal-Mart and her concealed gun fired, authorities said Tuesday.

Veronica J. Rutledge, 29, was shopping with her son and three other children, Kootenai County sheriff’s spokesman Stu Miller said.

Rutledge was from Blackfoot in southeastern Idaho, and her family had come to the area to visit relatives.

She had a concealed weapons permit. Miller said the young boy was left in a shopping cart, reached into his mother’s purse and grabbed a smallcaliber handgun, which discharged one time.

Deputies who responded to the Wal-Mart found Rutledge dead, the sheriff’s

“It appears to be a pretty tragic accident,” Miller said.

The victim’s father-inlaw, Terry Rutledge, told The Associated Press that Veronica Rutledge “was a beautiful, young,

Buff has over 17 years’ experience at Bickford Ford as a mechanical technician in the service department. He always has a great attitude and is willing to help in every way possible. He is known and respected for his technical skills and ability to get the job done.

about 10:20 a.m. Miller said the man arrived shortly after the shooting. All the children were taken to a relative’s house.

The shooting occurred in the Wal-Mart in Hayden, Idaho, a town about 40 miles northeast of Spokane. The store closed and was not expected to reopen until Wednesday morning.

Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for WalMart, said in a statement the shooting was a “very sad and tragic accident.”

“We are working closely with the local sheriff’s department while they investigate what happened,” Buchanan said.

There do not appear to be reliable national statistics about the number of accidental fatalities involving children handling guns.

In Washington state, a 3-year-old boy was seriously injured in November when he accidentally shot himself in the face in a home in Lake Stevens.

In April, a 2-year-old boy apparently shot and killed his 11-year-old sister while they and their siblings played with a gun inside a Philadelphia home.

Idaho lawmakers passed legislation earlier this year allowing concealed weapons on the state’s public college and university campuses. Despite facing opposition from all eight of the state’s university college presidents, lawmakers sided with gun rights advocates who said the law would better uphold the Second Amendment.

‘Dixie’ song costs a conviction in Idaho Ready for fireworks BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Court of Appeals has thrown out a black man’s sex crime convictions, saying the prosecutor interjected race in closing arguments by quoting lyrics from the Confederate anthem, “Dixie.”

All three judges agreed that Canyon County Deputy Prosecutor Erica Kallin erred in citing a song praising what the judges called pernicious racism that might have influenced the jury.

“This prosecutor may not have intended to appeal to racial bias, but a prosecutor’s mental state, however innocent, does not determine the message received by the

was in the next room.

Everett detectives reportedly recovered eight photographs of the child from O’Brien’s cellphone.

They also seized other electronic equipment belonging to him.

O’Brien is charged with first-degree child molestation and possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He has denied the allegations.

jurors or their individual responses to it,” the judges wrote in the opinion. “An invocation of race by a prosecutor, even if subtle and oblique, may be violative of due process or equal protection.”

In April 2013, James D. Kirk, then 45, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after the jury found him guilty of committing lewd conduct against a 17-year-old girl and sexually battering a 13-year-old girl. Both teenagers are white.

Kallin began quoting “Dixie” lyrics as a response to the defense’s closing arguments that focused on the perceived weaknesses in the state’s case, including the failure to gather physical evidence to help

There is photographic evidence that reveals “an exceptionally bold, predatory, and reckless compulsion to commit child molestation (a violent offense) despite the risks of being caught,” prosecutors wrote in charging papers.

Earlier this month, O’Brien had his optometry license permanently revoked by the state Department of Health.

He remains in the Snohomish County Jail where he is being held on $750,000 bail.

prove the girls’ testimony.

“I always think of this one song. Some people know it. It’s the Dixie song.

Right? ‘Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton. Good times not forgotten. Look away. Look away. Look away,”’ Kallin said during the state’s closing arguments. “And isn’t that really what you’ve kind of been asked to do? Look away from the two eyewitnesses. Look away from the two victims. Look away from the nurse and her medical opinion. Look away. Look away. Look away.”

After Kirk was convicted, Eric Fredericksen — with the state appellate public defender’s office — filed an appeal, saying that Kallin may have unfairly

affected the verdict.

The three judges concluded that enough doubt had been raised as to whether Kirk’s conviction had been tainted.

“Nothing in the record suggests that the jurors harbored any racial prejudice or that they were actually influenced by the prosecutor’s recitation of ‘Dixie,’ but the risk of prejudice to a defendant is magnified where the case is as sensitive as this one, involving alleged sexual molestation of minors,” they wrote.

Canyon County spokesman Joe Decker told the Idaho Statesman the county will retry the case if the Idaho attorney general doesn’t appeal the Dec. 19 appeals court ruling.

EVERETT — A Snohomish County deputy sheriff has been named the 2014 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year by a statewide organization.

The Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs chose Deputy Glen Bergstrom for the honor.

Bergstrom has spent more than 15 years with the sheriff’s search & rescue program.

A longtime Oso area resident, he is credited with making quick and crucial decisions after a mudslide wiped out a neighborhood and stretch of Highway 530 on March 22.

Bergstrom continued to work on search and recovery operations for several months, helping family

members of slide victims, equipment operators and search teams.

The award will be presented to Bergstrom in Olympia on Jan. 16.

The story behind your local neighborhood business.

A venue for businesses to tell their stories

S

torytelling. It’s not just for campfires.

Businesses around the world love to share stories. Coca Cola’s polar bears speak volumes without ever saying a word. Nike challenges people to live a maverick life and “just do it.”

And the face of a former insurance salesman still resonates the success story of a man named Colonel Harland Sanders.

Yep, these are all big businesses with hefty piles of advertising dollars to give what people crave: emotional and powerful connections that come through telling a story.

But what about the little guys? The mom and pop shops, boutiques, agencies and neighborhood brickand-mortars that want to introduce themselves to the community and distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack? What opportunities do these small business owners have to share their stories?

Here’s a hint: insert your business name here and imagine an article and advertising devised just for you.

When a business shares its story, it utilizes a practice called brand story marketing. A significant

part of your brand story is capturing the public’s attention and giving people a great memory to recall when they need your type of product or service.

The Retales section of The Daily Herald was designed to share your company’s brand story to help you build a successful, sustainable business and a brand that will garner loyalty.

The program is affordable and it provides branding frequency and consistency.

Advertisers commit to seven full-color ads, designed by The Herald’s art department, to run over 14 weeks. The ad runs every other Wednesday in the Retales section of the newspaper, which is distributed to over 335,000 readers each week. The advertiser also receives 10,000 impressions on HeraldNet.com.

At just $235 per ad, Retales is an affordable way for your business to benefit from the frequency and repetition that makes an ad campaign successful.

During your Retales advertising campaign, your business will be featured in a 650-word article written by a journalist who specializes in brand story

marketing. A professional photographer will capture an image of you and your business to include alongside the story.

There are several ways to deliver your brand story in your article. Entertaining anecdotes, your company’s history, customer testimonials, community involvement, cool new services or products, your hobbies and talents — any of these can be skillfully featured in your article.

Let’s take a walk down the Retales memory lane to see how a few brand stories came to life.

At Prospector Liquidation in Everett, the store has a beloved mascot named Prospector Pete. For the store’s November 2013 story, Prospector Pete starred in a holiday-themed tall tale about the founding of the company.

Scott McMillan’s business in Monroe is all about two-wheel and four-wheel fun, so focusing on the fun factor in the article about Adventure Motorsports was a must. McMillan shared his love for quadding with his kids, finding adventure at Rimrock Lake and hanging out

with members of the Star Chapter 428 Motorcycle Enthusiast Club. Plus, he was able to include details about favorite products at his store.

Earning a few gray hairs while teaching your teen to drive became the theme for A-1 Auto Service Center’s article in July.

The theme provided a backdrop for car maintenance tips and three testimonials from parents with teen drivers who received upstanding service and education from the A-1 team in Everett.

Never fear, history will move forward Jack O’Donnell’s history column has always been about the past. But his retirement raises a question about the future.

What happens to the Seems Like Yesterday column?

Short-term, the answer’s clear: It will be on hiatus.

As O’Donnell will tell anyone considering the task, it’s a job that requires a work ethic and a deep familiarity with Everett’s past. So far, The Herald has not identified a workhorse/ historian inclined to do the research and write the column 365 days a year.

Seems

But editors have heard from O’Donnell’s fans over the years, and we know there are a lot of history buffs in Snohomish County. That means we’re going to continue featuring local history on a regular basis in our print edition as well as on

our website, Heraldnet. com.

Notable examples from this year include reporter Noah Haglund’s profile of “vintage” mechanics who work on vintage planes at the History of Flight Restoration Center, and nostalgic coverage of

the sad news that a coat of fresh paint had finally obscured the sign for “Betty Spooner’s School of the Dance” on Rockefeller in central Everett.

Last spring, The Herald also previewed the musical revue “Margaret,” which brought the life of Everett

walked into the library and she was the first person I saw,” O’Donnell said. “She gave me a hug and 50 years vanished.”

O’Donnell especially enjoyed revisiting 1965. It was his first year away from home at what’s now Western Washington University in Bellingham. With the old papers, he caught up on all he missed that year in Everett.

Writing the column was largely an exercise in making choices. “I tried to stay away from divisive politics, and I didn’t want to embarrass people. It was a feel-good thing in the paper. Bad news unfolds all the time,” he said.

“I just loved doing it,” O’Donnell said. “It was always an adventure.”

his older brother, Larry O’Donnell, live near each other in Everett’s NortonGrand historic district, both in homes more than a century old.

Both are retired from education careers. Jack O’Donnell taught for 39 years, most of them at Alderwood Middle School in the Edmonds district.

He spent nine years at Immaculate Conception & Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Everett, retiring in 2006.

The O’Donnell brothers share a passion for history.

In 1999, they took a road trip together in Jack’s 1968 red Chevrolet convertible.

Cruising the length of Historic Route 66, they stopped at significant and kitschy places along the way.

Closing the Seems Like Yesterday chapter of his life gives O’Donnell more time for history projects.

An author, he contributed to the 2005 book “Snohomish County: An Illustrated History.” He wrote the forward to the recently published “150 Years of Lowell History,” by Karen

As these (and many other stories) demonstrate, history is something to look forward to in The Herald.

New charge for murder suspect

Herbert Lee Clyne

near Sedro-Woolley, the Washington State Patrol reported. The 56-year-old Sequim man got out to check the truck when it rolled forward, police said.

PORT ORCHARD — A man already charged with murder in the death of his girlfriend has been charged with attempted first-degree murder in an assault on a fellow Kitsap County Jail inmate.

The Kitsap Sun reported that David Kalac is accused of using a piece of cardboard to keep his cell door from locking properly, then going to another cell and stomping on the victim’s head on Dec. 9. The newspaper reported that Kalac was charged Friday in the jail assault.

Kalac has pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge in the death of Amber Lynn Coplin.

She was found dead Nov. 4 at their Port Orchard apartment.

The bus ran a red light and collided with a Ford Escape, killing Robert and Elizabeth Rotta. Prosecutors said bus driver Aleksandr Ruklin was negligent, but there’s no evidence he was intentionally so.

Tacoma: Dead snowshoer ID’d The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office said it has confirmed the identity of a snowshoer killed in a severe storm on Mount Rainier over the weekend.

The man was identified Tuesday as Louis Landry, 37, of Puyallup.

6 AirAsia bodies recovered Divers are deployed but heavy rain and clouds ground helicopters.

California: Low snowpack

DEWI NURCAHYANI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Indonesian air force commander Dwi Putranto (right) shows aircraft parts and a suitcase Tuesday that were found floating near the site where the AirAsia flight disappeared.

TRISNADI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Relatives of passengers of the missing AirAsia flight at Juanda International Airport react to news Tuesday about the recovery of bodies near the site where the jetliner disappeared.

new year. “We still pray they are alive.”

The corpses were spotted about 100 miles from Central Kalimantan province.

Rescue workers descended on ropes from a hovering helicopter to retrieve bodies. Efforts were hindered by 6-foot waves and strong winds, National Search and Rescue Director SB Supriyadi said.

The first body was later picked up by a navy ship. Officials said as many as six others followed, but they disagreed about the exact number.

Supriyadi was on the aircraft and saw what appeared to be more wreckage under the water, which was clear and a relatively shallow — 65 to 100 feet.

When TV broadcast an image of a half-naked man floating in the water, a shirt partially covering his head, many of the family members screamed and wailed uncontrollably. One middle-aged

man collapsed and had to be carried out on a stretcher.

About 125 family members were planning to travel Wednesday to Pangkalan Bun to start identifying their loved ones. Body bags and coffins have been prepared at three hospitals there. Dozens of elite military divers also joined the search.

Malaysia-based AirAsia’s loss comes on top of the stillunsolved disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March with 239 people aboard, and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine, which killed all 298 passengers and crew.

Nearly all the passengers and crew were Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays.

Haidar Fauzie, 60, said his youngest child and only daughter, Khairunnisa Haidar, was a flight attendant who had worked with AirAsia for two years.

On learning about the crash,

he struggled to console his grieving wife. They last saw their child six weeks ago, when she returned home on holiday.

“From the start, we already knew the risks associated with being a stewardess,” Fauzie said. “She is beautiful and smart. It has always been her dream to fly. We couldn’t have stopped her.”

AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes, the airline’s founder and public face and a constant presence in Indonesia since the tragedy started unfolding, said he planned to travel to the recovery site Wednesday.

“I have apologized profusely for what they are going through,” he said of his contact with relatives. “I am the leader of this company, and I have to take responsibility. That is why I’m here. I’m not running away from my obligations.”

The jet’s last communication indicated the pilots were worried about bad weather. They sought permission to climb above threatening clouds but were denied because of heavy air traffic. Four minutes later, the jet disappeared from the radar without issuing a distress signal.

Several countries rushed to Indonesia to help with search and recovery efforts.

The United States said it was sending the USS Sampson destroyer, joining at least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters in the search for the jet.

A Chinese frigate was on the way. Singapore said it was sending two underwater beacon detectors to try to pick up pings from the plane’s allimportant cockpit voice and flight-data recorders. Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are also involved in the search.

Obamacare enrollment tops 7 million The Washington Post WASHINGTON — At least 7.1 million people so far have enrolled in 2015 health plans through the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplaces, according to a pair of federal reports issued Tuesday.

As of Dec. 26, 6.5 million people signed up for coverage in federally run exchanges — that includes new enrollments, people actively re-enrolling and existing customers who allowed their coverage to automatically renew, according to the Department of Health and Human Services’ weekly enrollment update.

A second HHS report, which provides the most comprehensive look at the new enrollment period, found that 633,000 people selected coverage in the 14 states running their own health insurance marketplaces as of Dec. 15. That’s in addition to those who signed up through the federal exchanges, for a total of roughly 7.1 million.

However, HHS said most states haven’t reported

U.S. airstrike kills leader of al-Shabab WASHINGTON — A senior al-Shabab militia leader was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Somalia, according to U.S. and Somali officials. Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency identified the slain man Tuesday as Abdishakur, also known as Tahliil. The agency said he was the head of an alShabab unit believed responsible for suicide attacks in Mogadishu, the country’s capital. The Pentagon said Monday it had launched an airstrike against a “senior Shabab leader” near the town of Saakow, northeast of the al-Shabab stronghold of Kismayo. Officials at that time did not identify the target or say whether the strike had succeeded.

Associated Press PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia — A massive hunt for the 162 victims of AirAsia Flight 8501 resumed in the Java Sea on Wednesday, with six bodies, including a flight attendant identified by her trademark red uniform, recovered. But wind, strong currents and high surf hampered recovery efforts as distraught family members anxiously waited to identify their loved ones.

Three bodies were retrieved Tuesday, while the others were found after the search resumed Wednesday, said Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo.

On Tuesday, the number had varied with different officials saying as many as six corpses had been found.

He said half of those found were male and half female, including the flight attendant.

The first proof of the jet’s fate emerged Tuesday in an area not far from where it dropped off radar screens. Searchers found the bodies and debris that included a life jacket, an emergency exit door and a suitcase.

On Wednesday, divers were deployed, but heavy rain and clouds grounded helicopters, said Soelistyo.

The airliner’s disappearance halfway through a two-hour flight between Surabaya, Indonesia, and Singapore triggered an international search for the aircraft involving dozens of planes, ships and helicopters.

It is still unclear what brought the plane down.

The plane needs to be located and its cockpit voice and flight data recorders, or black boxes, recovered before officials can start determining what caused the crash.

Images of the debris and a bloated body shown on Indonesian television sent a spasm of anguish through the room at the Surabaya airport where relatives awaited news.

The first sign of the jet turned up about 10 miles from its last known coordinates. Parts of the interior, including the oxygen tank, were brought to the nearest town, Pangkalan Bun. Another find included a bright blue plastic suitcase, completely unscratched.

“I know the plane has crashed, but I cannot believe my brother and his family are dead,” said Ifan Joko, who lost seven family members, three of them children, as they traveled to Singapore to ring in the

ACROSS THE U.S.

complete information about the number of re-enrollments, meaning the actual enrollment count is likely higher.

About 3.4 million people had actively selected an exchange plan in the 37 states relying on HealthCare.gov enrollment platform as of Dec. 15, the federal deadline to sign up for coverage starting Jan. 1. About 87 percent of those people qualified for premiums subsidies, and about 52 percent were purchasing coverage through the federal-run marketplaces for the first time this year. The remaining 48 percent were returning customers who either selected a new plan or actively re-enrolled in existing coverage.

By comparison, just 106,000 people had selected exchange health plans in the first month of enrollment last year, when severe technology flaws threatened the launch of the law’s coverage expansion. This current enrollment period has run much more smoothly, though some customers are experiencing problems on a smaller scale.

HHS has been providing weekly enrollment snapshots over the past month, but Tuesday’s monthly report provided the most detailed breakdown to date of who’s signing up for exchange coverage in the second year of the ACA’s coverage expansion, with another major Supreme Court decision on the healthcare law looming in 2015.

Of the 3.4 million people selecting health plans through the federal enrollment website, 24 percent were between 18 and 34 years old, while 30 percent were between 55 and 64 years old. The young adult enrollment rate was up just slightly from 23 percent compared to the first three months of last year’s enrollment season, HHS said.

More than two-thirds (68 percent) of federal exchange enrollees have so far selected “silver” health plans, which cover 70 percent of medical expenses. About 8 percent of enrollees identified of as Latino, which is slightly up from 7 percent reported during

the first three months of last year’s enrollment period.

Eleven percent of enrollees identified themselves as African-American, down from 14 percent during the same period last year.

Of the 37 states using the HealthCare.gov enrollment platform, Mississippi had the highest percentage of new customers (58 percent) choosing 2015 health plans, while Alaska, Maine and North Dakota shared the lowest (39 percent). About 673,000 people have already signed up for 2015 coverage in Florida, the most of any state.

The administration seems likely to hit its own goal of enrolling 9.1 million people in 2015. That’s significantly lower than the 13 million originally projected by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The enrollment period is scheduled to end Feb. 15, just a few weeks before the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on a lawsuit challenging the legality of subsidies provided through federal exchanges.

The first direct winter measurement of the state’s snowpack Tuesday found water content only one-third of average — showing that the state has a long way to go to recover from the drought.

A snow surveyor hiked through 2 feet of snow at the Sierra Nevada’s Echo Summit and found it contained 4 inches of water, or 33 percent of normal for this time of year. That’s far better than last year’s 20 percent. But it’s not enough, according to the state Department of Water Resources. December’s storms were too warm to bring much snow to the drought-stricken state, weather experts say.

Illinois: Salt spill buries cars A wall at a Morton Salt facility collapsed, burying several cars at a next door auto dealership in road salt. A company spokeswoman said a side wall broke Tuesday in Chicago, spilling road salt outside the facility and onto the neighboring property. Morton Salt Inc. is a 100-year-old company based in Chicago best known for its pourable table salt. No injuries were reported. A fire spokesman said city engineers will look at the building’s structural integrity.

N. Hampshire: KKK find A white robe belonging to a man who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s has sold for $350 at auction. The robe bears the KKK’s distinctive round, scarlet patch with a white cross. It was found in an attic by a woman in her 80s.

It had sat in a bag for years, assumed by family members to be an innocuous garment and not a feared symbol of the white supremacist group. An auctioneer said when the woman considered selling it and went to wash it she removed the patch. On the back of the patch was her father’s name. Nobody in the family knew he was affiliated with the Klan.

Florida: Church shootout Authorities said a church pastor shot and wounded an employee during a gunfight after the employee learned he was being fired. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said Living Water Fellowship Church Pastor Terry Howell had been meeting with maintenance worker Benjamin Parangan on Tuesday to terminate Parangan’s employment with the Kissimmee church. Witnesses said Parangan pulled out a handgun and fired multiple shots at Howell. He wasn’t hurt but returned fire with his own weapon and hit Parangan. Parangan was listed in stable condition at a hospital.

AROUND THE WORLD U.N.: Vote on Palestine The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday rejected a resolution that would have called for Israelis and Palestinians to strike a peace deal within a year and for Israel to withdraw to its 1967 borders within three years — a blow to Palestinians seeking to increase pressure on the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The resolution fell one vote short of the nine necessary for passage, sparing the Obama administration, which opposed the measure, the need to wield its veto power on the council.

Philippines: Landing glitch An AirAsia Zest plane carrying 159 people overshot the runway and got stuck in a muddy field at an airport in Kalibo on a flight from Manila in windy weather Tuesday, officials said. There were no reports of injuries. Crew members launched emergency slides to help passengers disembark from the Airbus A320-200 after it skidded off the runway before nightfall, an airline official said.

Three of the plane’s tires reportedly got stuck in the mud, a Civil Aviation official said.

Stable gasoline prices expected Detroit Free Press DETROIT — Gasoline prices, which at some pumps have been below $2 a gallon, may be nearing a low point.

But analysts said Tuesday the good news is that they probably won’t shoot up much after they bottom out, and likely will average under $3 a gallon throughout 2015.

“This may be getting as close to as good as it gets,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.

Gasoline prices in Detroit, averaging $2.05 a gallon on Sunday, have fallen 13.7 cents per gallon in the past week, compared with the national average of $2.28 a gallon, falling 9.6 cents a gallon in the same period, he said.

GasBuddy tracks prices

through daily surveys of gas outlets nationwide.

In football terms, DeHaan said, the price drop probably is in the “final two minutes” of the game, because the decline in gas prices appears to be outpacing the drop in oil prices.

Oil prices, have been in a free fall, in part because of less demand globally and more supply in the United States.

In addition, gas prices which are generally lower in the winter, tend to edge up in the spring as people take summer vacations and the industry switches over to summer-blend fuels, which cost more to produce.

But, DeHaan said, there is “still a chance that crude prices resume their slump again, and carry the pump plunge into overtime.”

In Michigan, gas prices have fallen $1.85 a gallon in the past six months, the largest drop in the nation. It was followed by Kentucky, down $1.66 a gallon for the same period; Indiana, down $1.62 a gallon; Ohio, down $1.61 a gallon, and Illinois, down $1.60 a gallon.

Last week, AAA said the steady daily decline in gas prices nationally — more than 88 days, since Sept. 25 — was the longest steak on record. The previous streak was 86 days, sent in 2008.

Gas prices have declined to some of their lowest levels in five years as the price of oil falls and competition put pressure on gas stations.

The only states where the average gas prices are more than $3 a gallon today were Hawaii, $3.53, and Alaska, $3.09,

according to AAA. Some economists have said that sustained lower fuel prices could give the economy a big boost because gas prices often are inversely tied to auto, particularly truck, sales; they also let consumers spend more on other things.

According to AAA, the lower prices will let consumers nationally save more than $450 million a day, compared to the gas highs earlier this year.

In addition, AAA estimated that Americans will travel 50 miles of more for the holiday season, which is the most on record.

Overall, DeHaan’s forecast for 2015 calls for prices in the “low $2 a gallon” in January and February and to average “under $3 a gallon” thought the rest of the year.

Trailer, boat sales soar Wholesale shipments of travel trailers, including fifthwheel models, increased 24 percent in November.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sales of boats and travel trailers are at some of the highest levels in years as consumers feel better about making discretionary purchases.

Tuesday, the National Marine Manufacturers Association said recreational boat sales were up as much as 7 percent this year compared with 2013. Furthermore, 2014 retail expenditures — which include spending on boats, engines, marine accessories and services — could eclipse 2007, one of the healthiest years for the industry.

Some of the strongest sales were in ski-and-wakeboard, pontoon, and aluminum fishing boats. Sales of larger boats also started to see an uptick, according to the trade association.

“An improved economy, an improved housing market, a stronger job market, increasing consumer confidence, and a multiyear low on fuel prices has bolstered people’s financial outlook, which bodes well for new boat sales,” said Thom Dammrich, president of the Chicago-based association.

This fall, wholesale shipments of travel trailers were at some of the highest levels in decades, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, based in Reston, Virginia.

RV industry shipments are expected to total 361,400 units in 2015, up 4 percent from 2014.

Interest in gold drops off as silver picks up Gold’s lackluster performance is turning off coin buyers, with sales at the U.S. Mint heading for the biggest annual drop in eight years.

Purchases of American Eagle gold coins reached reached 524,500 ounces in 2014, down 39 percent from 856,500 ounces in 2013. In December, sales fell almost 70 percent from a year earlier. While goldcoin sales fell, purchases of silver coins rose to a record 44 million ounces this year, mint data show. “Slow sales of coins is reflective of complete lack of interest in the gold market,” said Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Alliance Financial in Chicago. “Silver was the bright spot this year for coin sales, but it’s very difficult to say if the momentum will sustain.”

Coffee supplies are bouncing back Coffee, the best-performing commodity of 2014, is ending the year in a bear market that shows few signs of ending. Prices that doubled this year by October fell 13 percent in the past two months as rains aided parched trees in Brazil, the world’s top grower. November was the wettest month of the year, after the worst dry spell in eight decades forced Starbucks Corp. and Folgers to charge more for their coffee.

Ecom Agroindustrial Corp. predicts the 2015 crop will be at least 25 percent bigger than the National Coffee Council’s July forecast, and farmers are exporting more as Brazil’s currency weakens against the dollar.

Index predicts stable prices for homes JAY LAPRETE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bob Wheeler, president and CEO of Airstream, sits in the back of an Airstream travel trailer at the company’s factory in Jackson Center, Ohio. Not only are the Airstream trailers still being built by hand at the same site that has produced them for the past 60 years, but the company also can’t roll them out of there fast enough to meet the demand these days.

The 2015 figure would be more than double the industry’s recent low point in 2009.

“We’ve had a good year in 2014.

Our October numbers were up 30 percent from September and were the best October total we’ve posted in 38 years,” said RVIA President Richard Coon.

Sales of travel trailers and motor homes are big business in Wisconsin, with people coming here from the Chicago area to buy rigs costing tens of thousands of dollars.

“We had our best year ever,” said Paul Beitzel, sales manager at Ewald’s Airstream of Wisconsin, an Airstream travel-trailer dealership in Franklin.

New Airstream trailers cost $42,000 to $140,000. The Ohiobased trailer manufacturer has benefited from baby boomers not wanting to wait much longer to buy one of the luxury units that sometimes serve as their second home.

“The baby boomers are retiring and want a lifestyle change,”

Beitzel said.

Airstream, known for its shiny aluminum trailers with rounded corners, had hoped to double the sales of one particular model but exceeded that goal, according to Beitzel.

“If I ordered one today, I wouldn’t see it until June,” he said.

Home prices are ending the year on a stable note, according to new data out Tuesday. The Case-Shiller Index — which tracks prices nationwide and in 20 major cities — reported prices grew 4.6 percent in October compared to a year earlier.

That’s the slowest pace since September 2012, but one which many economists say is healthier for both buyers and sellers than the doubledigit growth seen this time last year. From September to October, prices climbed 0.7 percent after seasonal adjustments are taken into account, though some economists say those adjustments are overly generous.

Islamist attacks cut Libyan oil output Libyan oil production has fallen below 300,000 barrels a day after Islamist militants shifted attacks to energy facilities including the country’s largest oil export terminal, Energy Aspects said. Output is the lowest since May and down at least 65 percent from a recent high of 850,000 barrels a day in October after an assault on the Es Sider terminal, according to the Energy Aspects estimate. Libya holds Africa’s largest oil reserves.

Fires started Dec. 25, when the Islamists shot rockets at the port in a second attempt to take it.

THE DAY ON WALL STREET Lingering concerns about the political future of Greece pushed U.S. and global stock markets modestly lower Tuesday.

Trading was slow as most investors have closed their books for 2014. It was the eighth-slowest day of the year on the New York Stock Exchange. As been the case several times this year, investors turned their eyes to Europe.

Greek stocks stabilized after a volatile day Monday, when the government was forced to call elections that could create more economic turmoil. Investors worry that the elections might be won by the left-wing opposition.

The oddest, most memorable CEO apologies during the year

By Jena McGregor The Washington Post

What is it that makes apologies from chief executives so compelling? Maybe it’s the schadenfreude of watching people in power squirm. Maybe it’s just reassuring to see someone who makes that much money goof up. Or perhaps it’s the way that, all too often, executives get the whole act of atonement wrong.

Whatever the reason, many such apologies were among the most viral moments of the year. And we’re not even talking about remorseful statements over big business fiascos, such as Mary Barra’s apologies for General Motors’ ignition switch crisis or former Target executive Gregg Steinhafel’s plea following the retailer’s massive data breach late last year.

Rather, it’s the mea culpas for onetime gaffes, off-hand remarks and personal blunders that seem to most grab our attention. Below, we look back at some of the year’s memorable moments when the powerful turned into the penitent.

Who: Boeing chief executive Jim McNerney For: Describing his employees as “cowering” When: July 2014 What was said: When asked during a quarterly call with Wall Street analysts whether he intended to retire when he turned 65, Boeing’s Jim McNerney responded no. “The heart will still be beating, the employees will still be cowering,” he quipped. After the comment angered workers, McNerney apologized.

The Machinists union president called it “unfunny and unnecessary” and said it was a “reminder that the Jack Welch style of anti-personnel management is still alive and well.” The Seattle Times reported that McNerney sent a companywide message calling the remark “a joke gone bad,” and said “I should have used different words, and I apologize for them. I will definitely be more careful going forward.”

Who: Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella For: Seeming to suggest women shouldn’t ask for a raise When: October 2014 What was said: While onstage being interviewed by a Microsoft board member — at an event celebrating women in computing, no less — Nadella was asked to share advice for women who are uncomfortable asking for a raise. He replied that some of the best advice he’s gotten is to have “faith that the system will actually

give you the right raises as you go along,” and seemed to indicate that not asking for a raise was “good karma.” Many howled in protest, and, soon after, Nadella tweeted that he was “inarticulate” in his response and said the industry needed to close the gender pay gap. In a memo to employees, he said he “answered that question completely wrong.” While the disclosure of his own $84 million pay package kept the gaffe in the news a bit longer, his swift response and further clarification that it was a mistake to take his “own personal experience and project it on half of humanity” seemed to limit the fallout.

Who: Korean Air Chairman Cho Yangho and executive Cho Hyun-ah For: Nut rage When: December 2014 What was said: This one had to be included for the extraordinary nature of both the offense and the mea culpa that followed. Cho Hyun-ah, the daughter of Korean Air’s chairman and herself an executive at the airline who was in charge of inflight services, apologized after she delayed a flight from New York to Seoul over the way a flight attendant served her macadamia nuts onboard. Then her father apologized, too. In a news conference, the chairman bowed to journalists, said he regretted that he didn’t raise his daughter better and begged forgiveness.

“It’s my fault,” he said. “As chairman and father, I ask for the public’s generous forgiveness.”

Who: T-Mobile chief executive John Legere For: Offensive comments about competitors When: June 2014 What was said: Legere, who’s known for his trash-talking language and radical approach to running the mobile carrier, went too far for many when he made a remark about competitors at a company event. “These high and mighty duopolists that are raping you for every penny you have ... the f-?-?-ers hate you,” he said. The provocative language drew criticism from some when it went public, and Legere tweeted an apology the next day. “I know I have an Rated R vocabulary, but even I can go too far. Sincere apologies to anyone offended last night.”

Who: Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick For: An executive of his suggested digging up dirt on critics in the press When: November 2014 What was said: After one of Travis Kalanick’s lieutenants suggested hiring a

team of opposition researchers to go after critics in the press, the chief executive of the already controversial company had to step in with a remorseful reply. In a 14-part “tweetstorm,” Kalanick said the comments, made by an Uber senior vice president,

increased 24 percent in November, according to new data from Robert W. Baird & Co. Low fuel prices have helped bring some people back to the dealerships, a good sign before the start of the winter RV shows that get under way in January.

There’s still pent-up demand from the recession, when people wanted recreational vehicles and boats but postponed the purchase until they felt better about their finances.

“Even when consumer confidence was low, people were still researching RVs, going to shows and dealerships,” said Kevin Broom, spokesman for the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.

Many of the new travel trailers are smaller and lighter to pull, but they have as much room inside as larger models from a few years ago.

seminars and private counseling. Any one of Pope Francis’s 15 points could be posted on the office bulletin board as a daily reminder.

The issue, of course, is that the “guilty” need to recognize themselves and correct abuses. And the “victims” need to find the courage and focus to tackle the workplace ills. Neither is an easy prescription.

Often, when an unhappy worker writes me about a workplace problem, the email includes something like, “My hands are tied” or “I can’t quit” or “No one will listen.” They’re miserable and don’t see an exit door.

were “terrible” and that they “showed a lack of leadership, a lack of humanity, and a departure from our values and ideals.”

But even the attempt at contrition drew fire, with critics questioning how much it was really an apology.

space in a trailer. Smaller electronics and appliances, such as flat-screen televisions and tankless water heaters, also free up more inside space.

There’s strong interest in trailers that are replicas of models made in the 1960s but have modern amenities such as an air conditioner and a microwave oven.

One of those is a replica of a 1961 Airflyte from Shasta RV, an Elkhart, Indiana, manufacturer.

In 2014, the company pledged to manufacture more than 1,900 of the special edition trailers. Dealers, including two locations in Wisconsin, snapped all of them up in just three days, said President Mark Lucas.

The Airflyte “is a lot tougher to build than some of the other trailers. The metal corners are hand rolled with a hammer . a lot of the stuff is more craftsman built than assembly processed,” Lucas said.

The starting price for an Airflyte is $14,998. About 80 percent of the trailer is identical to the one built 53 years ago, according to Lucas.

“A lot of people think it’s a restoration,” he said.

Fortunately, it’s becoming easier for workers to leave dysfunctional organizations. There are more job openings.

Health insurance is available to more people who might have been tied to their job in order to keep benefits. Housing markets have improved.

As we enter the new year, a dominant message to employers from experts who monitor the workplace is that workers will be increasingly mobile. Employers are being told they have to work harder to attract and keep good people.

Given that employees who work in an organization are its best recruiters, it behooves everyone to take stock of Pope Francis’s list. What kind of place are we?

IN OUR VIEW | Sound Transit 3

Extend light rail to Everett While legislators hash out a transportation package this winter to address more immediate needs and projects to improve our highways and bridges, one decision they’ll make could determine how future generations, specifically those now in elementary school and younger, could commute between work and home more than 20 years from now.

Sound Transit’s board of directors earlier this month voted unanimously on the general route for ST3, the third phase for the agency’s Link light-rail system. The existing Link system connects Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with downtown Seattle. ST2 is expected to extend the line north from Seattle to Lynnwood by 2023. (Other future projects seek to extend the system east to Bellevue and south to Tacoma.)

While the understanding was that ST3 would extend Link north to Everett, no route had been specified.

Last month’s action by the Sound Transit board — the local representation of which includes Everett City Council member and transit board Vice Chairman Paul Roberts, Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick — identified the potential route to downtown Everett, which will snake its way past Paine Field to serve Boeing and the wealth of other aerospace and technology employers in south Everett, the state’s largest manufacturing center.

The route selected is longer and more costly than a more direct route that would shadow I-5, but the route by Paine Field’s industrial area can serve many more commuters and potentially take many more vehicles off I-5.

Extending the route even farther north to Everett Community College and what will be Washington State University’s University Center of North Puget Sound, will add to the cost, but as with Paine Field, will increase ridership and serve a growing community.

But we’re talking long-range here; Everett isn’t likely to see light rail until 2036.

The first step is for the Legislature to authorize Sound Transit to go to the voters in 2016 to approve funding for the estimated $3.4 billion light-rail extension to Everett. Between now and then Sound Transit will need to determine what that funding package will look like — either a property tax increase, a sales tax increase, a motor vehicle excise tax or a combination of two or more — and how to make its case to voters to fund and build the extension.

Regional mass transit votes failed in 1968 and 1970, and 25 years passed before Sound Transit was formed. In that time, Snohomish County’s population has nearly tripled from 265,000 to 746,000. In just the past three years, commute times between Everett and Seattle have increased 18 minutes, taking a driveronly vehicle 80 minutes to commute south in the morning and nearly an hour north in the evening, according to state Department of Transportation figures.

More immediate transportation projects should help alleviate that congestion, but a longer-term solution remains necessary, one that serves Snohomish County’s workers, students and residents long into the future.

It’s more than 20 years down the tracks, but would you wish your commute on your kids?

■■UNITED STATES

‘Equality for all’ includes all views In reply to the letter, “Founders sought religious freedom,” concerning the “separation of church and state.” One of our founding fathers did write those words.

In Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802, in discussion of the First Amendment, Jefferson wrote, “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”

Mr. Jefferson understood that while we should be free to exercise our religious beliefs, our government concerns the laws of people, all people, regardless of their beliefs.

If you’re looking for a religion involved in politics and government, look to Iran.

■■MARKETING

Holiday ploy very repugnant We all know someone who has been scammed this year, whether it has been on the phone, an email, a pop-up on the PC, door to door, or in the mail. Just to mention a few: the call from the IRS asking for immediate penalty payment or agents are ready to arrest you; numerous email scams wanting personal or bank account information; popups on the PC wanting to fix (speed up) your computer for free with a huge fee; door-todoor crooks offering a verity of items including home security, and many solicitations in the mail offering “special” deals or a deceptive “pay to the order of ...” that is visible through the envelope.

Well, I think I received the lowest one yet. This is in a pale blue envelope made to look like a Christmas card. It appears to be hand addressed, has one of the personal peel-off stick-on return address labels with a snowman, and a stick-on postage

stamp with a snowflake on it.

Open it up and guess what’s inside? On a Christmas card size card stock that opens like a Christmas card, I have received an “exclusive invitation” from Direct TV. Merry Christmas!

How low can they go?

■■DYNASTY

Drewel needs to actually retire I have passively watched the employment history of Bob Drewel since leaving office as Snohomish County executive.

Gee, this guy is still on the taxpayers’ dime here in December 2014!

As of October 2014. he was “Interim Chancellor for WSU Operations” for the Everett Campus!

After leaving the county executive’s office — Bob Drewel has stayed on the taxpayers’ payroll — one posting after another — Puget Sound Regional Something-or-Other previous to WSU! Why are taxpayers still supporting Bob Drewel?

John Koster “almost” was able to start the same “dynasty” — nice guy he is, but he went awry of the unions!

In Washington state you don’t mess with the union!

Anyway, when will Bob Drewel really retire and not collect from the taxpayers of Washington state and Snohomish County?

15-cent boost in wages means a lot to workers

T

he stock market is going great guns!

That’s supposed to be the good news for this New Year’s Eve. It is indeed for a very small slice of people, but not really for the rest of us. That’s because the median household income in Washington state fell between 2009 and 2013 (half of households have less, and half have more). The typical wage hovers around $20 an hour. Close to half-a-million kids in our public schools are from families with incomes of less than $44,000 (for a family of four) or $36,000 (for a family of three).

So what is the good news for tomorrow, if it isn’t the stock market?

How about the 15-cent JOHN BURBANK increase in our state’s minimum wage, from $9.32 to $9.47? That makes it catch up with inflation. Compare this to the federal minimum wage, which has been sitting at $7.25 since 2009. Sixteen years ago Washington voters passed the first minimum wage to be adjusted to inflation, each year.

Following our lead, eight other states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio and Oregon — have now indexed their minimum wage to inflation.

But doesn’t this seem like peanuts compared to the stock market? On Dec. 18, the Dow Jones average zoomed up 421 points, or 2.4 percent. Now, if you had $1,000 in the bank, that might amount to $24. But if you have $1,000 in any bank, you are getting .01 percent interest — 10 cents a year (that’s Bank of America’s checking account interest rate)! If you have $10,000, you are in the same boat, at the same bank, and you will get $1 a year for your money. But if you have $100,000, you might have $25,000 in the bank, and $75,000 in stock in the 30 corporations that make up the Dow Jones average.

Then you get .02 percent from the bank, or $5 a year. But you might have made $1,800 in a day because of the increase in value of your stock.

Let’s pretend you have $1 million in the stock market. Then on Dec. 18, you could have made $24,000. If you have $10 million, you made $240,000. If you have $100 million, you made $2.4 million. And if you are Jeff Bezos, with a net worth of $29 billion, you made $696 million … in one day. Steve Ballmer, with a net worth of $22.7 billion, may have made $545 million. Bill Gates Jr., the wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of $81 billion, could have made $2 billion in this one day. That’s real money.

The stock market goes up and down each day. So what happened with the Dow Jones over the entire year? It went up 1,597 points or 9.7 percent. So for the year, while a worker with $1,000 in the bank “made” 10 cents, Mr. Bezos made $2.8 billion, Mr. Ballmer made $2.2 billion, and Mr. Gates made $8 billion.

Let’s be clear about this money. It is the automatic effect of wealth creating more wealth. If you have money, you make money.

One of the major milestones in the field of economics this year was the publication of Thomas Piketty’s book, “Capital in the 21st Century.” Piketty’s research focuses on the inevitable accumulation of wealth as a result of unfettered capitalist development. This accumulation undermines the egalitarian impulse of our democracy. It creates more wealth, more privilege, and more power.

It is a zero-sum game that undermines the opportunity of advancement for the vast majority of people, who have seen their wages stagnate, household income fall, and their kids’ schools go underfunded.

That’s why the increase in the minimum wage is so important. It creates a barrier to even lower wages. Tomorrow’s increase of 1.59 percent will directly benefit about 176,000 workers in our state. People you know will see a wage increase — your neighbor, your teenage kid, the person who serves you coffee and donuts. Compare this to a 1.59 percent increase in Mr. Ballmer’s portfolio — that would give him a $400 million down payment to buy the Los Angeles Clippers.

That may be good for Mr. Ballmer and for Los Angeles, but it can’t stand up to increasing the minimum wage for workers in our own state!

Seahawks’ Carroll willing to help assistants advance

R

ENTON — At one point early in his tenure as the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell was approached by head coach Pete Carroll, and the topic of conversation was Bevell’s future, perhaps as a head coach.

Bevell wasn’t sure what to make of his current boss bringing up the topic of him someday leaving in order to move up the coaching ranks.

“The first time I was a little surprised, just because of where I’d been — it wasn’t kind of that

way,” Bevell said. “The first assistant coaches, people time he comes in your office like Seahawks defensive and starts speaking about it, coordinator Dan Quinn, you’re like, ‘Is he trying to get offensive line coach/assisrid of me? What’s going on tant head coach Tom Cable here? This is kind of weird.’ and Bevell will become canBut it’s great to have didates for open jobs. someone who supports Already the Seahawks you in that way.” have received requests JOHN BOYLE While the Seahawks from three teams — the are still playing, 20 NFL teams 49ers, Jets and Falcons — about saw their season end Sunday, and Quinn, who reportedly will interview a handful of those teams fired with the 49ers on Wednesday in their coaches, or in the case of Seattle and the Jets on Friday. New San Francisco “mutually” parted York is also scheduled to interview ways with him. That means top Cable while on that same trip, as well

as Seahawks director of pro personnel Trent Kirchner, a candidate for the Jets’ general manager job.

Bevell’s name hasn’t surfaced yet, but considering he has interviewed for head coaching jobs each of the past two seasons, there’s a good chance one of the team’s with a vacancy will be asking the Seahawks about him soon.

As a quick aside, don’t panic about Seattle’s coaches preparing for job interviews while also preparing for a playoff game.

M’s acquire OF Smith from Padres Seattle sends relief pitcher Brandon Maurer to San Diego in return for 32-year-old veteran.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Mariners closed out the year Tuesday by acquiring veteran outfielder Seth Smith from San Diego in a deal that checks off the final major item on their winter shopping list.

To get Smith, the Mariners dipped into their deep bullpen to by sending right-hander Brandon Maurer to the Padres.

“We were in search of adding another outfielder,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said, “and in Seth Smith, we got a player who is a professional hitter.

“He’s a guy we think is really going to give us good ABs, particularly against right-handed pitching.”

Maurer, 24, showed signs last season of mastering his potent arsenal once he shifted to the bullpen, but he faced a stiff battle next spring to hold his job in the club’s relief corps.

“It was a tough decision to trade Seth Smith: Brandon,” Zduriencik Batted .266 said. “We think a lot with 12 HRs of him. We know his and 48 RBI value. We know his last season. upside. He’s a guy I would have loved to hold onto.

“We had to give something up of quality to get something in return that is going to be a good fit for us ...

That’s what we did in the case of Seth Smith for Brandon Maurer.”

Smith will get a chance next spring to win a regular job but, at minimum, he figures to serve as the left-handed platoon partner with Justin Ruggiano in right field.

“When you look at what Ruggiano can do against left-handed pitching,” Zduriencik said, “and what Seth can do against right-handed pitching, I think it’s a good combination.”

The trade is the Mariners’ latest offseason move to bolster an attack that ranked 11th in scoring among 15 American League clubs. They were also last in on-base percentage.

The Mariners previously signed free-agent outfielder Nelson Cruz, who led the majors in home runs, and acquired Ruggiano, a

s track and field athletes, Alex Harrison and Michelle Howe once dreamed of going to the Olympics, though their dreams began to fade with the passing years.

But this year there is a new dream.

Harrison, who is from Edmonds, and Howe, from Arlington, were named to the United States national bobsled team in November. They will board a plane today for Europe, where they will spend the next three months competing on the World Cup circuit.

It is the first leg of a journey that might lead to the Olympics after all.

“Every track athlete dreams of going to the Olympics,” said the 27-year-old Harrison, a 2006 graduate of EdmondsWoodway High School. “But it’s been pretty far removed from our thoughts for a long time because we both realized we didn’t really have a shot at going to the Games in track and field.”

Despite being relatively new to bobsledding, Alex Harrison has already earned medals, including a World Cup medal from Lake Placid at left.

But with a second chance in bobsled, Harrison says he would be thrilled “just to take part in the Olympics. Obviously if I was going to the Olympics I’d be trying to win a medal. But I’d be ecstatic just to walk in the opening ceremonies.”

Being an Olympian “would be a huge

honor,” agreed the 26-year-old Howe, a 2007 graduate of Lakewood High School.

“And it would be rewarding to know that all those years of work paid off.”

But there is more. Harrison and Howe not only have their own aspirations, but also for each other. The couple, who met as members of the track and field team at Western Washington University, recently announced their engagement.

They plan to be married sometime next fall.

Harrison and Howe were both doing graduate work and coaching track at East Tennessee State University last spring when they learned about tryouts for the U.S. bobsled team. After some preliminary testing and camps, they ended up in Park City, Utah, for two weeks of training after which they were both named to the team.

Despite not starting, UW’s Lindquist remains ‘big part’ of team

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It is not in Jeff Lindquist’s nature to complain publicly about anything — certainly not playing time — or assign blame for his upand-down 2014 season.

So the Washington Huskies third-year sophomore quarterback focuses inward when asked to evaluate a season that he began in the starting lineup and ended elsewhere.

“Even if I’m not playing on

Saturday, there are still lots of opportunities to get better and just be the best Jeff that I can be,” Lindquist said after the Huskies practice here at Chaparral High School on TuesJeff Lindquist day afternoon, “so that’s what I’ve been trying to do.”

He’s done it in several different ways, few of which have included lining up as a traditional, dropback quarterback. That’s where

he was, though, when the Huskies began the Chris Petersen era on Aug. 30 at Hawaii. With Cyler Miles serving a one-game suspension, Lindquist and redshirt freshman Troy Williams battled throughout the spring and fall for the Day 1 starting job, and Lindquist’s decision-making won out.

It was a forgettable debut.

Lindquist, a 6-foot-3, 246-pound Mercer Island native, showed off his arm strength on a perfectlythrown, 91-yard touchdown pass to speedy receiver John Ross in the first half, but otherwise

struggled with his accuracy: he completed only 10 of his 26 pass attempts that day for 162 yards, and the Huskies barely won, 17-16.

Miles took over as the Huskies’ starting quarterback the following week. And even when a concussion knocked him out of UW’s game at Oregon and forced him to miss the next week’s game against Arizona State, it was Williams, not Lindquist, who relieved him.

KENT — The Everett Silvertips’ longest road trip of the season got off to an inauspicious start Tuesday night.

Everett suffered a defeat and possible injury in falling 4-2 to the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Keegan Kolesar scored twice and Ethan Bear added a goal and two assists to lead a short-handed Seattle team. The T-birds played without star defenseman Shea Theodore (at the World Junior Hockey Championships), star center Mathew Barzal (injured) and No. 1 goaltender Taran Kozun (rested), yet still won its fourth straight.

Lane Pederson scored the other goal for Seattle (17-15-2-2), while

Danny Mumaugh earned the win in net with 28 saves.

Dawson Leedahl and Nikita Scherbak scored for Everett (2111-3-1), which departed directly from the game for Saskatchewan for the team’s six-game swing through the WHL’s East Division.

Austin Lotz finished with 21 saves in net for the Tips.

Adding injury to insult, the Tips lost defensemen Kevin Davis and Tristen Pfeifer to apparent injury as both left the game in the second period and did not return.

Their status for the rest of the road trip was unknown.

Seattle struck first 14 minutes, 55 seconds into the first period.

Sahvan Khaira’s pass found Pederson down low, and Pederson converted to give the T-birds a 1-0

lead.

Everett answered less than a minute later. Kohl Bauml sent the puck out front from the corner, and Leedahl put a backhander past Mumaugh from in close to knot it at 1-1 at 15:42.

Seattle regained the lead on the power play 7:32 into the second period, Kolesar just getting a rebound past Lotz to make it 2-1.

Seattle made it a tough task by scoring its third just 1:36 into the third period. Everett had scoring chances at one end that were denied by Mumaugh. The T-birds immediately headed the other way two-on-one, and Kolesar converted Ryan Gropp’s feed to make it 3-1.

Everett got itself back into the game at 8:30 as Scherbak sniped a

Former San Diego outfielder Seth Smith follows through on an RBI double against San Francisco in a game last season. The Padres traded Smith to the Mariners on Tuesday.

right-handed hitter, in a trade from the Chicago Cubs for minor-league reliever Matt Brazis.

Zduriencik stopped short of ruling out further moves but indicated nothing major is likely before spring training.

“To say we’re done,” he said, “I don’t think that would be accurate ... I don’t think they’ll be anything big in terms of a multi-player deal or some earth-shattering free-agent signing. I don’t think that’s going to be the case.

“I do think there are ways we can help our ballclub. There are fits for our ballclub. We will continue to investigate them and see where it ends up.”

Smith, 32, is an eight-year pro who batted .266 last season with 12 home runs and 48 RBI in 136 games. He also drew 69 walks, which boosted his on-base percentage to .367, and he posted a .440 slugging percentage.

As a point of comparison, Robinson Cano was the only Mariners’ regular last season who posted a higher OBP (.382). Cano and Kyle Seager (each at .454) were the only regulars with a higher slugging percentage. “(Smith) doesn’t strike out a ton,” Zduriencik said. “He knows how to walk. He can give you a good AB. His on-base percentage this year was .367. He had a really good OPS.

“We think it’s a really nice fit for our ballclub.”

Smith is under contract through 2016: $6 million in 2015 and $6.75 million in 2016. His deal also contains a club option for 2017 at $7 million with a $250,000 buyout.

“It’s a very agreeable contract,” Zduriencik said. “He’s 32 years of age, and he’ll play the whole year at 32. I think you’re getting a player who can be with you for at least the next three years.”

The Mariners began targeting Smith even before they failed to sign free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera, a switch-hitter who would have played regularly.

Once Cabrera signed with the Chicago White Sox, the Mariners responded by obtaining Ruggiano, a six-year veteran who projects best as the righthanded portion of a platoon.

Since the Mariners traded Michael Saunders to Toronto for veteran lefty J.A. Happ, their top remaining in-house lefthanded platoon option was James Jones, who faltered late last season after a strong rookie debut.

Club officials preferred a veteran alternative and focused on Smith, who became available after San Diego rebuilt its outfield by getting Matt Kemp, Wil Myers and Justin Upton in trades.

“Seth Smith is a valuable guy,” a Padres official said. “He can help a team ... but where’s he going to play here? There’s no DH in our league.”

The Padres pushed for

Maurer, who compiled a 2.17 earned-run average in 31 relief appearances with 38 strikeouts in 371⁄3 innings after a 7.52 ERA in seven starts.

Maurer was a 23rd-round pick in the 2008 draft as a 17-yearold. He reached the majors in 2013, when he was 5-8 with a 6.30 ERA in 22 games, including 14 starts. He was 1-4 overall last season with a 4.65 ERA. “I told Brandon that this was a hard one,” Zduriencik said. “I really wanted to keep Brandon here.”

Even with Maurer’s departure, the Mariners appear well-stocked with All-Star closer Fernando Rodney heading a unit that last season led the major with a 2.59 ERA. Returnees include Yoervis Medina, Danny Farquhar, Tom Wilhelmsen, Charlie Furbush, Dominic Leone and Carson Smith.

Furbush is the only lefty in the returning group, but the Mariners have at least three candidates to replace free-agent Joe Beimel in Lucas Luetge, Edgar Olmos and Rule 5 pick David Rollins.

The Mariners also recently signed veteran right-hander Mark Lowe to a minor-league deal and could now find it easier to create a spot, if they want, for Erasmo Ramirez as a swingman.

Ramirez is out of options and would need to clear waivers next season to be sent back to the minors. Club officials believe it’s unlikely that he’d clear waivers.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner, who dominated the baseball postseason, was named The Associated Press 2014 Male Athlete of the Year on Tuesday.

Bumgarner finished first in a vote by U.S. editors and news directors. He beat out Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw — who won the National League Cy Young and MVP but lost to Bumgarner’s Giants in the playoffs. Retiring New York Yankees star Derek Jeter and golfer Rory McIlroy tied for third place.

The 25-year-old workhorse known as MadBum clinched the award when — on two days’ rest — he pitched five scoreless innings of relief in Game 7 of the World Series as the Giants beat Kansas City 3-2 to win their third championship in five years.

MLB drug figure sentenced MIAMI — A figure in the investigation into use of banned performance-enhancing substances by Major League Baseball players was sentenced to less than 21⁄2 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute testosterone.

Jorge Velazquez told U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga Tuesday that he is sorry for what happened.

The Miami Herald reports the judge agreed to let him surrender to authorities on Jan. 12.

Velazquez admitted being a drug supplier for Anthony Bosch, who ran the now-closed Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables. Bosch and four others have also pleaded guilty in the case, which resulted in suspensions of 14 professional baseball players including New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

Rodriguez cousin Yuri Sucart and ex-University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro Collazo are set for trial April 6.

Royals’ Gordon has surgery KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has had surgery on his right wrist, and the four-time Gold Glove winner should be ready for the season opener against the White Sox on April 6.

The surgery, an extensor retinaculum repair, was performed by Dr. Bruce Toby at the University of Kansas Hospital on Tuesday. It is not yet clear when Gordon will be able to start in spring training.

Royals trainer Nick Kenney says in a statement that Gordon reached out to the team about some wrist discomfort last week. Gordon traveled to Kansas City and underwent testing, and the surgery was scheduled immediately so that he would be ready for the upcoming season.

Harbaugh returns to Michigan

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | Bowl roundup

Notre Dame upsets LSU

By Noah Trister ANN ARBOR, Mich. — By the time Jim Harbaugh walked onto the court at halftime of the Michigan basketball game, his homecoming had turned into a full-fledged pep rally.

“I pledge to you that we will do our very best to carry on the great tradition of Michigan — excellence all across the board,” the Wolverines’ new football coach said to the cheering crowd at Crisler Center during Tuesday’s matinee win against Illinois — in an overtime thriller, naturally.

“You know how to make a guy feel at home,” Harbaugh yelled, his voice sounding hoarse from a whirlwind few days.

Harbaugh is back. And none too soon for fans who desperately want him to save the football program where he starred as a quarterback 30 years ago — one that has fallen into the middle of the pack at best in the Big Ten Conference and has become an afterthought in the national landscape.

The day began with a packed news conference, and onlookers peeking through the windows from outside. Harbaugh strode to the podium for a smiling, lighthearted session as his family watched from a few feet away.

“Michigan’s always been great.

It’s always been great. I always believe in it,” Harbaugh said. “In terms of selling something, you’re selling something you believe in in your core.”

As a starting quarterback for three seasons under Bo Schembechler, he is remembered for delivering a victory he guaranteed over Ohio State in 1986, the same season he was Big Ten player of the year and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting.

The famously confident Harbaugh stopped short of any real bluster as he took the reins of the storied program. After all, he inherits a team that has lost 10 of its last 11 games to archrival Ohio State and six of its last seven to Michigan State. If those two rivals were looking for bulletin board material from Harbaugh, he didn’t give them much — not

Notre Dame place-kicker Kyle Brindza (27) and holder Malik Zaire (8) watch Brindza’s game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter of the Music City Bowl, in Nashville, Tenn. Notre Dame beat LSU 31-28.

said. “Obviously, if LSU has the football with No. 7 (Leonard Fournette), he’s a game changer.

We certainly couldn’t give them the football back.”

Kelly went with sophomore Malik Zaire for his first career start, but he also played senior Everett Golson, using both quarterbacks on the winning drive.

Notre Dame held the ball for 37 minutes but finished with a 449-436 edge in total offense against the SEC’s toughest defense thanks only to that final drive. Golson was 4 of 5 for 50 yards passing on it, including a 12-yard completion to Ben Koyack on third-and-10. Zaire finished off the drive with a couple of rushes to set up Brindza.

Brindza had missed 6 of 9 field goals in the last five games of the regular season, including a 32-yarder late in a loss to

yet, at least.

“They’re outstanding programs. No, I make no guarantees,” he said. “I made a guarantee a long time ago, and I’ve learned from that, and I’ve grown. I understand that you don’t make guarantees.”

Harbaugh’s seven-year deal is worth about $40 million, not counting performance bonuses.

His $5 million annual salary increases by 10 percent after years three and five, and he also received a $2 million signing bonus. He can receive bonuses based on Big Ten championships, bowl appearances, coaching awards and team academic performance. Following a review by the athletic director after next season, Michigan will also determine a deferred compensation arrangement.

Harbaugh’s $5 million base salary next season is what he would have received in the final year of his deal with the 49ers.

Michigan’s new coach has his work cut out for him in a Big Ten East Division that’s now full of big-name coaches. Urban Meyer is preparing Ohio State for this week’s semifinal against Alabama in the inaugural College Football Playoff. Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio has built a program that has staying power. Penn State is on the rise and Wisconsin and Nebraska are ahead of the Wolverines in performance and talent.

This past season was the third time in seven years Michigan finished with a losing record. The program’s most recent sub-.500 season before this dismal stretch came in 1967, two years before Schembechler began his run as coach. Brady Hoke was let go early this month.

The longer Michigan’s coaching search went on, the more obvious it became that the school was focused on Harbaugh, who was finally available after his NFL season ended Sunday. The 51-year-old Harbaugh coached the San Francisco 49ers to three straight NFC championship games, but they missed the playoffs this season at 8-8 and he left in what the team called a mutual decision.

Associated Press

By Teresa M. Walker NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Notre Dame and senior kicker Kyle Brindza got the finish they had missed too often the last half of the season. Beating a Southeastern Conference team in southern territory only made it that much sweeter.

Brindza hit a 32-yard field goal as time expired, and Notre Dame upset No. 22 LSU 31-28 in a Music City Bowl shootout Tuesday.

“This was a matchup that we had wanted at Notre Dame, and I know LSU felt the same way,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “We wanted to be challenged. We were disappointed in the way we played obviously at the end of the year, and our guys wanted the opportunity to finish the season the right way.”

The Tigers were unsuccessful on a fake field goal at the end of the first half, a call that stood on review even though replays appeared to show the ball crossing the goal line. The Fighting Irish (8-5) also blocked a 40-yard field goal attempt by Trent Domingue early in the fourth quarter.

Kelly watched the fake field goal on the video board and thought the Irish stopped holder Brad Kragthorpe short. LSU coach Les Miles thought Kragthorpe scored and wasn’t happy the play wasn’t overturned for a touchdown. Miles also wasn’t pleased at the lack of better replays that might have shown Kragthorpe got the ball over the line before his knee went down.

“The guy that carried the ball, forcing it, said he absolutely scored,” Miles said. “Kids will be kids, but this guy’s going to tell the truth.”

Notre Dame got the ball with 5:41 left and never gave it back, driving 71 yards in 14 plays before Brindza finished off the win.

“We dictated the outcome by controlling the football,” Kelly

Lynnwood girls win bracket at Nike tourney Herald staff

After a close first half, Lynnwood used a 19-9 advantage in the third quarter to pull away from the Saxons heading into the final period. Kelsey Rogers scored six points in the opening minutes of the period to increase the Royals’ lead to double digits as Lynnwood opened up a 51-33 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Lynnwood wing Mikayla Pivec did a little bit of everything for the Royals. Pivec, a 5-foot-10 junior who finished with 24 points, was a strong post presence and even made a 3-pointer to help Lynnwood pull away in the contest.

“Mikayla’s a great player. Our team fits her style of play perfectly,” Edwards said.

“If you can dribble the ball, shoot the ball and pass the ball you’re going to excel in our style of play and Mikayla does all of those things perfectly.”

South Salem missed its first five shots as Lynnwood took a 7-0 lead early. Erin McNally capped a 6-0 Saxons run with 2:22 left in the second quarter to bring South Salem to within two, 23-21.

But that’s as close as the Saxons would

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — The Lynnwood girls basketball team is roughly halfway through its season.

And the Royals are hoping the second half goes just as well as the first nine games have gone.

Lynnwood continued its impressive start to the season by sweeping its opponents in the Nike Interstate Shootout at Lake Oswego High School in Oregon. The Royals defeated South Salem 59-38 to win the Swoosh bracket of the prestigious tournament late Tuesday night.

“We got everything we wanted out of this tournament,” said Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards. “We were able to play against new teams with minimal time to prepare. We were able to face adversity and come out on top. The first half of the season couldn’t have gone any better.

We’re 9-0 got some good experience down here in Oregon and we’re going to head back to Washington and try to continue to play good basketball.”

get.

“We started off the game very well and they made a heck of a run in the second quarter,” Edwards said. “They were hitting their threes and making their run. When they cut it to two we got the next six points and kept that momentum going into the second half.”

Lynnwood went 4-0 at the Nike Interstate Shootout, which features some of the top teams from Oregon and Washington, and improved to 9-0 overall.

Rogers finished with 14 points and Monty Cooper and Jordyn Edwards added eight points apiece for the Royals.

“All the teams we played are good teams,” Edwards said. “It’s a great sign that at this point in the season. I consider this the halfway mark and we’re 0-0. We know just because we won this tournament there are no givens. Theirs no guarantees we can make it out of district tournament. It’s very competitive. We’re going to remain humble and take nothing for granted.”

Lynnwood outscored its three opponents in the tournament by 22.3 points

per game, including South Salem (8-2), which was the No. 3 team in the Oregon 6A coaches poll going into the tournament.

The Saxons had outscored their previous three opponents by 23.3 points in the Nike Interstate Shootout but South Salem struggled against the full-court pressure from Lynnwood.

The Royals held Katie McWilliams, an Oregon State University commit, to five points in the game.

“They were a very good team,” Edwards said. “They have a Pac-12 player who is 6-foot-1 and legit. They have a very good team. But so do we and I just think our style of play affected them.”

Lynnwood was the first team from Washington to win the Nike Interstate Shootout in awhile, which was a point of pride for the Royals.

“It’s huge,” Edwards said. “In the Lake Oswego High School gym they have all the banners and it’s been since 1995 since a team from Washington (Lake Washington High School) won it. I’m not a math major, but that’s a long time.”

Moses Lake wrestlers beat Lake Stevens 47-27 Herald staff MOSES LAKE — For the first time in a long while, the Lake Stevens wrestling team entered a dual meet as the underdog on Tuesday night.

The Vikings traveled across the mountains to face Moses Lake in a matchup of powerhouses that finished 1-2 in the Class 4A team standings at Mat Classic last February.

Moses Lake claimed a 47-27 victory at home, but Lake Stevens coach Brent Barnes said the loss exposed weaknesses that he and his staff can address in the practice room.

“We have a ways to go,” Barnes said. “There are some things that we need to fix, and fortunately we have some time to get back in the room and do that, but there are some areas that we’re a little deficient at right now. But knowledge is power, and we learned some things about ourselves tonight.”

Perhaps the most anticipated bout of the evening came at 120 pounds, as defending Class 4A 103pound state champion Trey Long of Moses Lake took on Ty Headland of Lake Stevens, the seventh-place finisher last year at 113.

Long took a 6-3 decision, and Barnes said Headland’s inability to score first loomed large in the defeat.

“We gave up a critical first takedown, and the last two times they’ve wrestled that’s happened,” Barnes said. “We can’t give up our legs, and it’s something that we’re going to have to fix. We had some opportunities to score that we didn’t take. They’ve made some adjustments to us, and we have to make our adjustments too.”

Lake Stevens standouts Michael Soler, Jake

Douglas and Cody Vigoren all recorded victories over their Moses Lake opponents on Tuesday, with Douglas and Vigoren notching pinfalls.

Barnes also lauded freshman 152-pounder Malachi Lawrence, who earned a pin over the Chiefs’ Bailey Sanchez on Tuesday.

“Malachi has done a really great job and worked extremely hard in practice,” Barnes said.

“It has been rare for freshmen to start for us at those middle weights, but he’s a pretty physical and seasoned freshman.”

Boys basketball

Union 80, Stanwood 56 CAMAS — Union downed Stanwood by 24 points in a non-conference game Tuesday. Four Union players posted double-digit point totals in the victory.

“They were a great team,” Stanwood head coach Zach Ward said about playing third ranked Union. “They were deep. (They) played the game the right way. I’d be shocked if they’re not in the ‘Dome and getting hardware.”

It wasn’t a very enjoyable experience,” Ward said about his team’s loss. “... But it was a learning experience.”

Skout Roberson led Stanwood with 11 points.

Girls basketball

Jackson 47, Shorecrest 44 MILL CREEK — With senior guard Faithleen LopezFlores out of the lineup, the Jackson girls basketball team had three players score in double figures to lead the Timberwolves to a 47-44 victory over Shorecrest in a nonleague contest.

Imari Clinton and Olivia Miller each scored 12 points and Drew Locknane added 11 to help the Timberwolves earn their second victory of the season.

“I was really happy with the balance,” Timberwolves head coach Mark Haner said.

“We moved the ball well in the halfcourt.”

The Timberwolves jumped out to a 10-0 lead to start the game and then outscored the Scots 17-8 in the third quarter before Shorecrest made their fourth quarter run.

Hawks finish first in AP power rankings

Lions’ Suh wins appeal, will play against Cowboys

By Dave Birkett

Associated Press

Detroit Free Press

NEW YORK — The Seattle Seahawks finished the regular season where they started it: as the top team in the NFL. Defending Super Bowl champion Seattle (12-4) received 11 of 12 first-place votes Tuesday in the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.

The Seahawks open the playoffs at home on Jan. 10.

“Who’s scared of the big, bad Seahawks? Everybody.” Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune said.

New England (12-4) received the other first-place vote. The Patriots are the top seed in the AFC and also open the playoffs at home on Jan. 10.

“The Patriots are better in two ways from last year’s AFC runner-up: an improved roster, and home-field advantage,” said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback.

According to Glantz-Culver, the Seahawks (at 2-1) and Patriots (at 5-2) are the favorites to reach the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, on Feb. 1.

The Green Bay Packers (No. 3), Dallas Cowboys (No. 4) and Denver Broncos (No. 5) all finished 12-4 and won their respective divisions.

The Cowboys open the playoffs Sunday against Detroit.

“The surprise team of the 2014 season finishes things off in style with a resounding win at Washington,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. “The only team in the tournament to beat the Seahawks on the road this season.”

Indeed, Dallas won all eight road games.

Most of the remaining playoff teams rounded out the top 10: the Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 6), Detroit Lions (No. 7), Indianapolis Colts (No. 8), Cincinnati Bengals (No. 9) and the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens (tied for No. 10).

The Bengals, who haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, face Andrew Luck on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Bengals have lost in the first round each of the past three years.

“Will they finally win a playoff game this year?” asked NBC Sports’ Tony Dungy.

The Ravens travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Saturday night, a renewal of their bitter rivalry. “(Baltimore) hoping that Haloti Ngata can plug a few holes,” Fox Sports’ John Czarnecki said of the Ravens defensive lineman who is set to return after a four-game suspension.

NFC South champion Carolina finished at No. 13 with a 7-8-1 record and faces the Cardinals on Saturday.

“The Panthers became the first team to win back-to-back titles in the NFC South since the NFL realigned in 2002,” noted Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News.

Going into the season, Seattle was No. 1, followed by Denver, New England, Green Bay and New Orleans. The Saints finished 7-9 and at No. 23 in the final poll.

At the opposite end of the poll, Jacksonville, Cleveland and Oakland were picked to finish No. 30 to 32. Jacksonville (3-13) did indeed finish No. 30 followed by Tampa Bay, which has the No. 1 pick in the draft, and the Tennessee Titans.

The Browns were 25th and the Raiders finished 29th.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll (right) celebrates with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn after Seattle defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-6 on Sunday.

Quinn tops Jets’ list The New York Jets plan to interview Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tom Cable for the head coach position and Seattle’s director of pro personnel Trent Kirchner for the general manager’s job.

By Dennis Waszak Jr. Associated Press

NEW YORK — The search is on for Woody Johnson and the New York Jets.

With Rex Ryan and John Idzik out, the team is moving quickly to line up interviews for candidates to be their next coach and general manager.

Former NFL general managers Ron Wolf and Charley Casserly have been hired as consultants, and Johnson and the Jets are running concurrent searches for both positions.

“I’m relying on a lot of people,” Johnson said Monday.

“The three of us will be leading this search, but I’ve always been open to ideas and discussion.”

Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is at the top of the list of head-coaching candidates.

Johnson, Wolf and Casserly will fly out to Seattle this weekend to speak with Quinn and Seahawks offensive line coach-assistant head coach Tom Cable about the coaching position, and director of pro personnel Trent Kirchner about the GM job.

The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks earned a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs, so the Jets are able to interview members of their organization.

Meanwhile, the list of candidates to replace Ryan seems to keep growing, with the Jets also requesting permission to speak with Arizona defensive coach Todd Bowles, Baltimore offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, and San Diego offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn, who also served as assistant head coach under Ryan, is expected to receive an interview.

In addition to Kirchner, the Jets have requested to speak with Baltimore assistant general manager Eric DeCosta, Minnesota assistant GM

George Paton, Philadelphia director of pro personnel Rick Mueller, and Houston director of college scouting Mike Maccagnan.

Rod Graves, the Jets’ senior director of football administration, will be interviewed for the position. Graves, who was brought in by Idzik in 2013, was Arizona’s general manager for six seasons. He’ll oversee New York’s football operations on an interim basis until a GM is hired.

“I think I’m going to ultimately be the one who hires the coach, but I will certainly listen to the new general manager,” Johnson said. “If that comes first, I’ll definitely do that.”

There will be plenty of challenges for the new regime, particularly following a 4-12 season and a fourth straight year without making the playoffs.

The first order of business: What to do at the quarterback spot? Geno Smith mostly struggled through his second season, and was benched for three games in favor of Michael Vick. But, as he did last season, Smith came on at the end of the year, culminating in the best performance of his career in the season-ending win at Miami.

He threw for a career-high 358 yards and three touchdowns, went 20 of 25 and had a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

“I believe in myself, I have faith in myself and confidence that I can be a starter in this league,” Smith said. “But it comes down to me being more consistent obviously, doing a lot better of a job down the stretch of games and winning games.”

Smith got a somewhat surprising vote of confidence from Johnson, who said the young quarterback was “much, much better” in his last five games.

“I really think he can be good,” Johnson said.

But the Jets hold the No. 6 pick in the draft, and they could

opt to upgrade the position there — although Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston could be gone before New York goes on the clock. Or, the Jets could try to bring in a veteran to compete with Smith, but the free agency crop could be thin.

The new general manager will come into a good salary cap situation, as Idzik got the Jets about $20 million under the cap — but was heavily criticized for not making use of it.

That issue was magnified as New York struggled mightily at the cornerback position, which will also need to be a priority.

“We didn’t spend every dollar that we had, but (Idzik) had a plan for that,” Johnson said.

“We were going to sign players that we didn’t get signed. So, we reserved it for that and maybe we should have spent more.

Probably should have.”

New York has 14 players scheduled to be unrestricted free agents, including Vick, linebacker David Harris, running back Bilal Powell and right guard Willie Colon. Steady nose tackle Damon Harrison will be a restricted free agent, and is in line for a bigger deal.

Star defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson expected a new contract by now after a solid fourth season, but the Jets exercised a fifth-year option last spring.

The new GM will also need to determine whether wide receiver Percy Harvin, a midseason acquisition, is worth a $10.5 million cap hit. The team’s two longest-tenured players — left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson ($11.7 million) and center Nick Mangold ($10.4 million) — also could be asked to restructure because of hefty cap hits.

“We’ve got to make some good decisions,” Johnson said.

“We have to structure it properly. We have to know exactly what we’re looking for in a head coach and how he defines what he’s looking for, and same with a general manager.”

Knee injury knocks Cowboys’ Melton out of playoffs Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Dallas defensive tackle Henry Melton will miss the playoffs because of a right knee injury sustained in the regular-season finale at Washington.

Melton, who missed most of last season in Chicago with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a bruised right knee.

Dallas replaced Melton by signing linebacker James Anderson, a third-round pick

by Carolina in 2006. Anderson spent seven seasons with the Panthers and one in Chicago

before playing in seven games with Tennessee this season.

The Cowboys (12-4) are at home against Detroit (11-5) in a wild-card game Sunday.

Melton led the Cowboys in sacks most of the season, but didn’t have one in the final seven games. He finished with five sacks, eight solo tackles and 17 quarterback pressures.

The 28-year-old Melton was slowed in his return from last year’s knee injury by a groin problem in training camp, but didn’t miss any regular-season games.

The sixth-year pro is unlikely to return to Dallas unless he signs a new contract. He played

on an incentive-laden oneyear deal with a three-year club option that guarantees him $9 million in 2015.

The Cowboys are likely to make him a pre-June 1 cut that would cost about $750,000 against the salary cap.

Coughlin, Reese return to Giants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Coach Tom Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese are getting one more chance to turn around the New York Giants.

Co-owner John Mara announced Tuesday that Coughlin and Reese will be back in 2015 despite an “embarrassing” 6-10 record, two straight losing seasons, and missing the playoffs five of the past six years.

Ndamukong Suh won his appeal of a one-game suspension Tuesday and will play in the Detroit Lions’ wild-card game Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Independent arbitrator Ted Cottrell made the decision to repeal Suh’s suspension and instead fine him $70,000 for stepping on the leg of Aaron Rodgers in a 30-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The NFL suspended Suh on Monday for what it termed “a non-football act” that placed Rodgers “at unnecessary risk of injury.”

Suh took two backwards steps onto Rodgers’ injured left leg after knocking the Packers quarterback to ground on a fourth-quarter pass attempt.

NFL vice president of football operations Merton Hanks said in a letter to Suh explaining the punishment that his second step and subsequent push off Rodgers’ leg “clearly could have been avoided.”

Had Suh’s suspension been upheld, it would have been almost unprecedented considering the circumstances.

A Monday search of past NFLissued discipline revealed no known incidences where the league benched a player for a postseason game because of onfield rules violations.

New York Giants fullback Merle Hapes was suspended for the 1946 championship game, but that punishment came after he admitted gamblers approached him about fixing the game and he did not report it to the league, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Cottrell also overturned Ed Reed’s one-game suspension for repeated helmet-to-helmet hits in 2012.

The Lions had no immediate response to Cottrell’s decision, but having Suh back in the lineup certainly helps their chances of winning a playoff game for just the second time in the Super Bowl era.

Suh leads the Lions with 8.5 sacks, ranks third in the NFL with 21 tackles-for-loss and has been the most destructive player on the league’s top-ranked rushing defense this year.

The Cowboys rank second in the NFL in rushing, have the league’s top back in DeMarco Murray (1,845 yards) and one of the best offensive lines in the game.

“Y’all see his numbers and what he’s done so you understand how you can’t really replace that,” defensive end Jason Jones said.

Even though Suh won his appeal, the incident cast another cloud over his tumultuous five seasons in Detroit as well as this year’s 11-5 record.

Suh, the second Lion suspended by the league in as many weeks -— center Dominic Raiola served a one-game suspension last week for jumping on the ankle of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson — has now been fined nine times in his career and suspended once for a 2011 stomp on the Packers’ EvanDietrich Smith.

“Both suspensions, that’s unnecessary,” ESPN analyst Mike Tirico said in a conference call Tuesday. “For everything that the Lions did to get back, for a leader on the line on offense and defense on back-to-back weeks to get suspended for those types of incidents, that’s awful. That’s not championship football and those are two guys that are desperate to win championships and at the biggest moment didn’t do it.

“Two unfortunate blights on a season that should look back and say that team did more than a lot of people thought they would.”

The NFL did not take Suh’s past history into account when it issued its punishment Monday, and that may have helped him in the appeals process today.

Including his latest fine and his 2011 suspension, Suh, who’ll be a free agent after the season, has lost more than $450,000 to NFL discipline.

Both Bevell and Quinn interviewed for multiple jobs at this time last year, and somehow managed to focus on their current jobs well enough to help Seattle win a Super Bowl.

Not only is Carroll OK with his assistants pursuing jobs, he hopes they leave. Because as much as Carroll’s primary goal in Seattle is to win football games, he also sees a responsibility to help everyone, not just his players, be the best they can be. And if that means losing a top assistant or two every couple of years, so be it.

“When these guys come to work here, I tell them from the moment we start talking that I’m going to help them get any job that they want and to help them achieve the goal that they have for themselves,” Carroll said. “I work really hard for our guys to get whatever it is that they’re after. I want them to be the best they can possibly be, and if I can help them do that then I’m going to do it.”

Carroll learned early in his tenure at USC that a successful program leads to other teams poaching your assistants.

Coaches like Ed Orgeron, Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian all left USC for head jobs elsewhere, then in 2013 Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley became the head coach at Jacksonville. But even if losing coaches isn’t ideal, the flip side is that their potential replacements know they’re coming to a place that will help them to move on when the opportunity comes.

“I know that, at times, it makes it hard at times on us, but I want the next guy coming in to know the exact same thing,” Carroll said. “If you come here, we’re going to help you be the best that you could possibly be, the best way, their best understanding of how to present their philosophy and their approach so we work with that throughout the year.

“In my mind, everybody is going, everybody is moving on, and I’m hoping that they get those chances. I’ve been that way for a long time and we’ve endured it, it’s worked out, and it gives us a great chance to really have a great place for someone to come to also. I wish it would have been like that for me — sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn’t and I just decided a long time ago that I was going to help our guys in that manner.”

Seattle’s assistants don’t just appreciate that their employer won’t deny them a chance to pursue a new job, but that Carroll actively tries to prepare them to be head coaches while they are here.

“He’s always constantly challenging us,” Quinn said, “Think of this two-minute situation, think of this — and he’s often times putting us as coaches against each other in that scenario, where we do tons of two-minute work, all the stuff that we do against each other, offensively and defensively; he’s constantly challenging us. It’s one of the fun parts about being a coach on his staff.”

Quinn has left the Seahawks once before, going to Florida to be the defensive coordinator after two seasons as Seattle’s defensive line coach. He returned as defensive coordinator in 2013 after Bradley left not just because being defensive coordinator in the NFL was a good job, but also because he knew that by coming back to Seattle, he’d be playing for a coach who might someday help him leave again.

“One of the great parts of being part of this organization is with him is we look to him as a mentor and somebody that we learn from all the time,” Quinn said. “So just being part of this organization and watching the guy interact with the team, help develop the coaches, to help develop the players, he’s been a huge impact on the philosophy; coaching wise, philosophy wise, it’s a blast working him with him. It really is.”

Bobsled From Page C1

Though neither one knew much about bobsleds a year ago, “that’s really not uncommon,” said Brian Shimer, a five-time U.S. Olympian and now the head coach of the U.S. team. “I actually grew up in Florida and never saw snow until I was about 18 years old. So that’s pretty normal with our sport.

“What we’re really looking for is athletes with strength and speed,” Shimer said. “And then we try to convert them to be a very explosive push athlete in the sport of bobsled.”

Earlier this month, Harrison and Howe were in Lake Placid, N.Y., for the first World Cup event of the season.

Though Howe did not compete (the coaches are still trying out team members in various combinations), Harrison was in the top U.S. four-man bobsled driven by 2010 Olympic gold medalist Steven Holcomb.

As the team was at the starting line preparing for their second run, “I was having trouble getting myself psyched up,” Harrison said. “I was mentally fatigued. But all of a sudden the crowd started chanting, ‘U-S-A, U-S-A …’ And as soon as that happened I was in the zone.

“If it hadn’t have been for that ‘U-S-A’ chant, I probably wouldn’t have pushed as well as I did. It was amazing. It was like a jewel in my athletic career.”

As pushers, the real work for Harrison and Howe lasts maybe six or seven seconds, which is the time it takes team members to get the bobsled up to speed so they can hop in.

After that, the pushers are merely along for the ride.

But what a ride it is. Bobsleds are built for speed, not comfort, and the passengers feel every bump as they reach speeds up to 90 mph.

It is, as Harrison explained, “like being on a roller coaster that’s about to fall apart. It can be very violent. And it’s not just scary, it’s actually painful.”

For the duration of a race, Howe said, “it feels like you’re in a very violent car accident. On my first trip I seriously questioned what I was doing with my life. But afterward I was so happy to be alive that I just had to do it again.”

Though Howe has been a bobsledder for only a few weeks, she has experienced two crashes. Both times she was under her overturned sled, sliding down the ice on her back, which felt a little like “hanging upside down beneath a truck and getting dragged along the freeway,” she said.

But despite the perils, “it’s a lot of fun,” she said. “It’s that adrenaline rush where you don’t know what’s going to happen. I like that. … I like pushing something at 100 percent (for a few seconds), and then jumping in, closing your eyes and hoping for the best.”

Though Harrison says their commitment to the U.S. team “is one year at a time,” both he and Howe hope to continue racing for at three more years, which would include the 2108 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

After all, the two of them would still love to realize their Olympic dreams.

“I’ve never really thought about what it would be like to win a medal,” Harrison said. “But I’ve thought about what it would be like competing at the Games and representing my country. It’s the pinnacle of sports, and it’d just be really cool to do something like that for the United States.”

Lindquist From Page C1

But Petersen and UW’s coaching staff think — and speak — highly of Lindquist, a dedicated business student who teammates say provides an uplifting presence and does what is asked of him. So Petersen and offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith find ways to get him on the field.

During UW’s 42-14 victory over Georgia State, Lindquist stepped in at quarterback for a package of wildcat-style plays designed for him to run the ball. He carried three times for 35 yards and

scored two touchdowns.

Lindquist has also entered the game on occasion to throw a deep ball, something at which he excels and Miles does not. In the Apple Cup game against Washington State, Lindquist threw what should have been a 58-yard touchdown pass that bounced off Ross’ hands. He also completed a 26-yard pass on a fake punt attempt that was wiped out due to an illegal formation penalty.

His unique involvement in UW’s offense is vintage Petersen.

Throughout his eight-year tenure as Boise State’s head coach, Petersen was known for installing specific packages of plays for players who otherwise might not get into the game, if only to keep

them more engaged during the week and give them something to look forward to on Saturday.

Lindquist has also appeared on UW’s punt team and serves as the holder on field goals and pointafter-touchdown tries.

Smith said that mentally, Lindquist has “always been in it. Always been ready. We’ve done some small things with him in packages, because he’s been such a good teammate and stayed so involved and dialed in.

He watches a ton of film. He’s an awesome kid. He’s a big part of our team.”

He needs to improve his accuracy, Smith said, and gain a better feel for UW’s offensive system to have a chance to compete with Miles again for the starting

quarterback job.

“His completion percentage is awesome during practice,” said junior receiver Jaydon Mickens, who joked early in the season that Lindquist’s biggest problem was throwing the ball too hard. “Next time he gets his opportunity, I believe he’s going to do better.”

Whenever and however that opportunity comes — perhaps, in some form, during Friday’s Cactus Bowl game against Oklahoma State — Lindquist vows to be ready.

“Obviously I’d like to be out there playing every snap, but it’s life and that’s the situation I put myself in,” he said. “I’m just out here to help the team. Whatever happens, happens. As long as we get wins, that’s what’s important.”

Extra Points Smith joked that Ross, who began the season as a receiver and is now playing cornerback, will be approached by UW’s coaching staff during the offseason as if he were a free agent with a decision to make: offense or defense. “He’s going to be like LeBron James,” Smith said. “He’s going to come in and hear from us. Then he’s going to hear from the defensive side.

Then Coach Pete will come in and tell him what he’s got to do.” … Senior receiver Kasen Williams said he’ll return home after the Cactus Bowl for “about four hours” before traveling to Thousand Oaks, California, where he will train in preparation for the NFL draft.

Williams will also play in the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Jan. 17. He will arrive there on the 10th. “I’m going to get as many workouts in as I can before that,” Williams said, “and we’re going to make the people remember what my name is.”

Having fun with fizz Make these bubbly-inspired cocktails for New Year’s Eve Herald staff

It’s New Year’s Eve and that means it’s time to break out the bubbly.

And just like New Year’s is better with friends and loved ones around, champagne is even better with some friends.

So break out the pretty glasses, say goodbye to 2014, and welcome 2015 in style.

Here’s a look at five great cocktails — two from the book “Death and Co.: Modern Classic Cocktails” — that go great with champagne or sparkling wine.

LARRY ROBERTS / PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE

DEATH & CO.

The Mig Royale is a great mix of champagne and gin.

750-milliliter bottle sparkling white wine, chilled Brandied or candied cherries In a microwave-safe bowl or glass, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and water. Stir well, then microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set

aside to cool completely.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled spice syrup with the cranberry juice. Shake to combine, then divide between 4 cocktail flutes or coupe glasses.

Top each with sparkling wine and add 1 cherry to each.

Pork Tacos with Pico de Gallo kajsdfklj asl;fjkasl;kf lk kl;j.

Pork tacos with Pico de Gallo Pico de Gallo 2 teaspoons canola oil 1⁄2 cup white onion, finely chopped 2 plum tomatoes, cored, diced 1 clove garlic, peeled, minced 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced 1 tablespoon lime juice plus lime wedges for garnish 2 teaspoons white vinegar

1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar Salt and black pepper to taste Pork 2 teaspoons canola oil 21⁄2 cups cooked leftover pork loin roast or chicken, shredded or cubed, plain or lightly seasoned 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 teaspoon Ancho chili powder (or favorite chili powder to taste) 8 corn or flour tortillas, heated

Crossword, 4

|

The fresh fig pizzette bar

(see below) 1 cup shredded cabbage These tacos are even tastier served with the Pico de Gallo. You can also top them with chopped cilantro, diced avocado and your favorite Mexican-style cheese.

To make the Pico de Gallo: In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients (canola oil through sugar). Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

To make the pork: In a medium skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Season the shredded leftover pork (or chicken) lightly with salt, pepper and chili powder.

Add pork to the skillet, sauté it to heat through.

Divide the pork among the tortillas and serve topped with shredded cabbage and Pico de Gallo. Garnish with lime wedges.

To heat tortillas, wrap them in slightly damp paper towels and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. You can also fry the corn tortillas in oil: Heat 11⁄2 cups of oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees. When hot, add corn tortilla and fry about 15 seconds per side.

Using tongs, fold the tortilla in half — it should still be pliable — pressing it to the bottom of the skillet, and fry 25 to 30 seconds. Turn over and repeat on other side.

Serves: 4. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Total time: 45 minutes.

This idea is perfect for holiday entertaining. It’s a buffet of assorted fresh fruit, nuts, cheese and spreads and homemade pizzas (pizzettes) to put it all on. You will find the recipe for pizzette and a recipe for infused honey syrup from the cookbook. For the my pizzette topping, I used dried figs instead of fresh ones (they’re not in season) and used navel oranges instead of Valencia, but you could use whatever fruit you like. Simply top the pastry base with fruit, nuts and cheese and then drizzle with the syrup.

Rustica Pastry for Pizzette 21⁄4 cups all-purpose flour 1⁄3 cup confectioners’ sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt 7 ounces (1 3/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest 2 large egg yolks, 1 white reserved for egg wash 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1⁄2 teaspoon orange extract 2 tablespoons cold water, plus more as needed Combine flour, sugar, salt, butter, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a standard blade. Pulse 8 to 10 times, or just until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal with some pea-sized clumps of butter. Add egg yolks, vanilla and orange extract, and 2 tablespoons of the cold water; pulse a few more times to combine. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, and continue pulsing just until the dough begins to form large lumps.

Pat the dough into 2 disks, wrap it tightly, and chill it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

See FIGS, Page D2

Make simple, easy pork tacos with Pico de Gallo Mondays often mean leftovers in my house, so I turn to tacos.

Tacos are quick and easy to make and anything goes. Use leftover cooked beef, chicken or turkey and even vegetables.

This recipe uses leftover pork and calls for a topping of Pico de Gallo — a relish of sorts made with finely chopped fresh onions, cilantro, fruits (mango), bell peppers or hot peppers. Don’t feel like making the Pico de Gallo? Top the tacos with any favorite chunky salsa. But I do highly recommend making the Pico de Gallo.

The Pico de Gallo recipe below is a basic one you can build on with different ingredients and seasonings. This recipe also uses cabbage in place of shredded lettuce. the cabbage is different because it has a hearty crunch. You can opt to heat the tortillas (corn or flour) in the microwave or fry them.

Round out the meal with serving of leftover rice or use quick-cooking box rice.

When I was growing up in the 1950s we would celebrate every holiday with my grandparents at their home. The routine never changed — it always started with a table full of family favorites. It was ham for Easter, turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and, whatever the occasion, pasta.

Our desserts were mainly fruitbased. My grandparents had a fig tree in their backyard, right beside the chicken coop. We had fresh figs in the summer but

by October my grandfather was covering the tree with leaves and brush to protect it from the cold.

In the winter he would buy dried figs and dates to eat as a snack.

The figs were attached to a string and we just “picked” one as we walked past. For the holidays my grandmother would make a deep-fried cookie filled with mashed dates (no one pureed anything back then) and chocolate. They were delicious.

I’m sure my grandmother would have loved these fig and date recipes. The Fresh Fig Pizzette Bar, which allows guests to make their own fruit “pizzas,” is an especially fun idea for the holidays.

NORTHWEST WINE | Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue

Washington reds shine in Platinum Judging E

very year for the past decade-anda-half, Wine Press Northwest magazine has conducted a year-end competition. Called the Platinum Judging, it is meant to showcase some of the best wines in the Pacific Northwest.

To gain entry into the competition, a wine must have won a gold medal or better at a professionally judged wine competition somewhere in the world.

This year, Northwest wineries earned more than 1,700 gold medals — with many winning multiple golds across the country.

For the 15th annual Platinum Judging, Wine Press Northwest magazine in Kennewick, received more than 600 entries, making this a true best-of-the-best beauty contest.

The results of all Platinum winners are in the Winter issue of Wine Press Northwest, which is out this week to subscribers and on newsstands. This week and next, we will take a look at some of the top wines. This week will focus on the reds. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant, or call the wineries directly. For full results, go to www.winepressnw.com.

Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2011 Mr. Big Petite Sirah, Horse Heaven Hills, $45: This big,

ANDY PERDUE

Greg Osenbach is the owner and winemaker of Whidbey Island Winery near Langley. He grows his own grapes and also buys fruit from the Yakima Valley.

DUSTED VALLEY VINTNERS

Corey Braunel and Chad Johnson own Dusted Valley Vintners, which operates tasting rooms in Walla Walla and Woodinville.

broad-shouldered red is rich in aromas of blueberry and blackberry, followed by bold, jammy flavors of blackberry, black pepper and boysenberry. Hints of spice and oak add depth and complexity, and a surprisingly gracious midpalate helps make this a complete wine. (14.6 percent) William Church Winery 2011 Gamache Vineyards Malbec, Columbia Valley, $36: Aromas of cherry

and spices are followed by suave flavors of dark fruit and black pepper backed by elegant tannins. As great as this wine is now, another two years of patience will likely reap greater rewards.

(14 percent) Kyra Wines 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $20: Moses Lake owner/winemaker Kyra Baerlocher is best known for making some of the finest Chenin Blanc in

the Pacific Northwest, but she also crafts delicious reds, including this superb and affordable Cab. (13.5 percent) Dusted Valley Vintners 2011 V.R. Special Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $53: The Dusted Valley boys continue to craft some of the finest red wines anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. While their specialty has been on rich Rhône varieties, they’ve shown a knack for Bordeaux reds, too. (14.7 percent) Whidbey Island Winery 2012 Dolcetto, Yakima Valley, $25: This luscious Italian variety opens with beautiful purple color followed by aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry

and dried blueberry. It’s perfectly round with sweet tannins and beautifully balanced. (14.9 percent) Daven Lore Winery 2011 Grenache, Yakima Valley, $35: Yakima Valley winemaker Gord Taylor’s Grenache is about as good as it gets in Washington.

It opens with aromas of blueberry, pomegranate, Baker’s chocolate and fresh tarragon. On the palate, incredible flavors of ripe raspberry and cranberry intermingle with a hint of sage in the finish. (14.5 percent) Clearwater Canyon Cellars 2012 Merlot, Idaho, $25: This Lewiston, Idaho, winery is winning big awards and accolades for

nearly every wine it makes.

This luscious Merlot — the best of this competition — comes from grapes in the proposed Lewis-Clark Valley. (13.7 percent) Zerba Cellars 2010 Grenache, Columbia Valley, $38: This bright red wine is a spectacular achievement, thanks to aromas and flavors of blueberry pie, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper and just a hint of oak. Everything is in place, and the refreshing acidity gives this liveliness. (14.4 percent) Two Mountain Winery 2009 Copeland Vineyard Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon, Rattlesnake Hills, $74: This astonishing Cab from a small producer operated by two brothers near the Yakima Valley town of Zillah, opens with notes of coffee, black cherry, mocha and clove, followed by flavors of blueberry, blackberry and vanilla. The tannins are firm without being too heavy-handed, and the finish is long and memorable.

Enjoy this small-production wine with prime rib.

(13.9 percent) Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue run Great Northwest Wine, a news and information company. Listen to their weekly podcast on iTunes or at www.greatnorthwest wine.com.

Figs: Chocolate-dipped California figs with marshmallows, walnuts From Page D1 Note: The dough can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight or up to 3 days before using. If it chills for more than an hour, it will be very stiff; let sit at room temperature about 20 minutes to soften.

To make the pizzette: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

On a smooth, lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 disk of dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper to a thickness of between 1⁄8 and 1⁄4 inch. Use a 31⁄2 inch cutter to cut about 18 rounds, rerolling scraps as needed. Set the rounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the rounds, about ½ inch apart, and use a fork to pierce each round all over. Repeat with the second disk.

Beat the reserved egg white with 1 teaspoon water. Lightly brush the rounds with egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Note: The rounds can be double-wrapped in plastic and frozen up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before baking.

Infused honey syrup ⁄4 3 2 2 2

cup honey cinnamon sticks star anise cloves teaspoons finely grated orange zest 3 ⁄4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice from 2 to 3 oranges (one reserved from zesting) To infuse the honey, combine honey, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook gently over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the honey to cool and infuse at least 1 hour.

To make the honey syrup, use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the spices from the infused honey, then add the orange zest and juice to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat and continue simmering until the syrup is thickened and reduced to about

⁄4 cup, about 20 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.

The syrup can be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Cut a small horizontal slit in each fig, being careful not to cut all the way through. Cut orange zest into a dozen 1-inch long pieces, and tear or cut each bay leaf in half. Stuff each fig with 1 piece orange zest, half of a bay leaf and 1 almond.

Pack the stuffed figs into a small baking dish that will hold them in a snug, even layer. Scatter

⁄4 cup light brown sugar 4 eggs, room temperature 13⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 11⁄2 teaspoons baking soda 2 tablespoons water 11⁄2 teaspoons instant espresso powder 11⁄2 teaspoons coffee liqueur 1 ⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 ⁄4 cup confectioners’ sugar These cakes are luscious especially with a dab of freshly whipped cream.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sauce pan, combine dates, water, espresso powder, vanilla bean, cardamom, and salt.

Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and steep 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar on low speed. With mixer still going, add eggs one at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl and making sure each egg is incorporated before adding the next. Sift together flour and baking soda and add to the butter mixture in increments, 1⁄3 at a time.

Stop mixer, scrape down, turn the mixer back on low, and add in the cooled date puree. You want it just incorporated — don’t over mix.

Place 8 3-inch cylindrical paper molds on a baking sheet. Fill with the batter only a little more than halfway — it rises quite a bit.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes on the center rack in the oven, until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove 3

For the coffee glaze: Bring all ingredients up to a boil and then lower to a simmer.

Simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes, until the glaze is thick and a bit syrupy. Glaze cakes while the glaze and the cakes are still hot.

Chocolate-dipped California figs 20 large dried California figs ⁄4 cup miniature marshmallows 20 walnuts or pecans 1 ⁄2 cup semisweet or white chocolate These are easy and especially tasty with the combination of chocolate, marshmallow and nuts.

I couldn’t find large figs so I used small pieces of walnuts instead of whole walnuts.

Cut a slit in the side of each fig and stuff with a marshmallow and a nut. Melt chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth and satiny (do not boil). Remove from heat. Holding by stem, dip figs halfway into chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip. Place figs on wax paper until the chocolate sets. Store in airtight container, separating layers with wax paper.

GRANDPARENTING

2014: The best and worst of times

By Tom and Dee Hardie and Key Kidder

W

ssssh! is the sound of 2014 hurrying into history, gone and done. Was that a quick one, or what? For many grandparents, time seems to accelerate with age. Looking back on the summers of our youth, days seem to unfold in slow motion. So why was 2014 a blur?

Researchers aren’t quite sure, but here’s one way to combat it. Learning or experiencing something for the first time tends to fix the event in our memory. Tasks with a greater cognitive demand are perceived to last longer. I you want time to slow down, do something fresh and novel. Become a student again.

Learn taxidermy or bonsai, or vacation in a new spot.

Now for our annual review of the best and worst of the year that was: WORST PREVAILING SENTIMENT: What kind of world will our grandchildren inherit? More polls show more people subscribe to the death of the American Dream, that sinking suspicion that our best days as a great nation are behind us. The one thing Americans can agree on is that the system is stacked against people like them.

BEST YOUTHFUL REBUTTAL: A majority of high school grandchildren don’t seem to have received that pessimistic memo yet. According to a 2014 Gallup poll of more than 875,000 students in grades 5-12 among 2,900 schools, 53 percent say they are hopeful, 53 percent engaged and enthusiastic and 64 percent report they enjoy “thriving well-being” and look forward to their future.

BEST CELEBRITY ROLE MODEL: You could do a lot worse than superstar Taylor Swift, the pop chanteuse who considers it her “responsibility” to be mindful of her influence on young fans. Swift reaffirms that class wins out.

WORST CELEBRITY ROLE MODEL: So many contenders, so little to like. Miley Cyrus can’t sink low enough to get attention. Runner-up is that marriage made for money — Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, the most self-absorbed twosome on the planet.

BEST BOOK NEWS: We have always put great stock in the power of books, and multiple sources confirm that grandchildren are reacquiring the reading habit. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter got the ball rolling. Now grandchildren are flocking to digital books. According

to Scholastic, the percentage of grandchildren who has read an e-book has doubled since 2010 and a majority of those aged 9-17 would read more with greater access to digital libraries.

WORST WEIGHT: More than one-third of America’s youth is overweight or obese. The holidays are a prime time to plump up, but with 2015 looming, grandchildren might be persuaded to resolve to modify their diet as a New Year resolution.

WORST TIME TO BE ALONE: Obesity is a known killer, but a new study indicates that loneliness is more lethal. Isolation ushers in a host of mental and physical ailments. Is there anything more depressing than being utterly alone at Christmas? To promote successful aging, reach out to connect socially with solitary grandparents lacking firm family ties.

BEST TECHNOLOGY NEWS: Speaking of loneliness, new research from the University of Michigan indicates that teaching seniors to use the Internet reduces their risk of depression by 30 percent. If that isn’t reason enough for grandparents to learn about computers, there’s no better way to stay in touch with grandchildren.

man wouldn’t have been hired, which would be discrimination, wouldn’t it? Couldn’t that lead to a possible lawsuit? Or am I wrong? — Right Or Wrong In Wisconsin Dear Right Or Wrong: I discussed your question with an attorney from Lambda Legal, the national organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of LGBT people. Currently, 21 states plus the District of Columbia have laws that protect gay people from employment discrimination.

Wisconsin is one of them.

The attorney said that “outing” the candidate to the other employee was “not necessarily illegal,” but that it was “DEFINITELY a bad business practice.”

In the 21 states that offer protection for gay people, a prospective employer cannot base a hiring decision on how comfortable someone is with the candidate’s sexual orientation, or the perception that a coworker or customer might be uncomfortable with a gay person. That is discrimination, and it IS illegal.

Dear Readers: The year is almost over — I can’t believe how fast it has gone! Please accept my heartfelt wish for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015. And if you are partying this evening, please be safe! — Love, Abby Universal Uclick

Dear Abby: My 16-yearold daughter, “Sierra,” started baby-sitting in the afternoons for a couple when she was 15. Sometimes her dad or I would drop her off; sometimes the husband, “Karl,” would before he left for work. My husband and Karl became friends, and when Karl and his wife split up, we let him stay on our couch for a few months.

Then we found out Sierra was pregnant and that she and Karl had been sleeping together before he split with his wife. My daughter is upset that we want to involve the police and press charges because she was underage. How can I get Sierra to stop hating me and understand that this relationship isn’t healthy?

— “The Enemy Mom” In South Carolina Dear “Enemy Mom”: Sierra is mad at you because you are injecting an unwelcome note of reality into her fantasy of “love.” Karl is a predator who needs to be answerable for what he did. He will also have to support that child until he or she is no longer a minor. Because he has shown himself to be amoral and irresponsible, involve not only the police but also the department of social services to ensure that he lives up to all of his responsibilities.

Dear Abby: It was brought to my attention that an employee in my workplace was asked by his supervisor if he would be OK with working with a gay male before the person was interviewed. Is this even legal? She basically “outed” the potential employee in the workplace.

If the person she asked did have a problem working with someone who’s gay, it implies the

West’s best chance is to pitch two hearts without pain. South may try for an end play instead of taking the ace of hearts.

If he has an unsuitable minimum such as A Q 2, K J 7 5 4, 9 2, Q J 3, you need to stop at game. To let him help make the decision, jump-shift to three diamonds to suggest slam.

Bombers, victims meet on Iraqi TV BAGHDAD — Haider Ali Motar was convicted of terrorism charges about a month ago for helping to carry out a string of Baghdad car bombings on behalf of the Islamic State extremist group. Now, the 21-year old is a reluctant cast member in a popular reality TV show.
