Replacement bridge OK’d Everett agrees to BNSF’s plan, but only if the railway restores foot access to the waterfront on Port Gardner.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A plan by BNSF Railway to replace an aging bridge on the main line has been

given a tentative nod by the city of Everett.

There’s one condition: The railroad must restore pedestrian access to the waterfront on Port Gardner.

“We are requiring them to construct or fund the construction of shoreline access in that area,” said Meghan Pembroke, the city’s communications director.

The rusting iron bridge is located at the west end of Hewitt Avenue where it turns southwest and becomes Bond Street.

An underpass at the south end of Bond Street was heavily used by neighbors to get to the Pigeon Creek Trail, which runs parallel to the rail line on Port of Everett property south to Pigeon Creek Beach.

hoping but I thought our chances to resolve this with a positive result wouldn’t be big.”

Immigration authorities had informed the family in April that the daughters, who arrived on visitor visas, had lost their immigration status.

EVERETT — Children can now walk to Seattle Hill Elementary School along hundreds of feet of sidewalk that didn’t exist until this year.

The school southeast of Everett is among more than a dozen elementaries in unincorporated Snohomish County to benefit from a round of pedestrian-safety improvements in 2014. A similar number of projects are in the pipeline for 2015.

“It’s wonderful — we are so appreciative of what the county is doing,” Seattle Hill Principal Paula Nelson said.

A contractor filled in sidewalk gaps along 51st Avenue SE, the main road outside Nelson’s school. Before that, the school had tried unsuccessfully to scare up grant money to pay for building sidewalks.

The work is part of the county’s “Safe Kids, Improved Pathway Program” — “SKIP” for short.

Executive John Lovick announced the initiative in the fall of 2013.

It’s funded with 1 percent of the county’s annual road levy and totals about $550,000 per year.

School districts and the Sheriff’s Office are helping to coordinate the work.

“I’ve heard a lot of positive feedback,” county engineer Owen Carter said.

The county has drawn up a six-year project list, Carter said.

Specific projects are subject to change according to weather conditions, funding and contractor availability.

In all, the Public Works Department has identified 33 elementary schools in unincorporated parts of the county that have inadequate sidewalks.

Within a mile of those schools,

Facebook’s Zuckerberg starts reading program Associated Press NEW YORK — Mark Zuckerberg wants to add a little more “book” to Facebook.

The Facebook founder and CEO announced on his page recently that he has vowed to read a book every other week in 2015,

with an emphasis on learning about different beliefs, cultures and technologies.

Zuckerberg created a page called “A Year of Books” and urged his friends to join him in the project. As of late Sunday afternoon, it had more than 100,000 likes. “I’m excited for my reading challenge,”

there are a combined 430 miles of roadway without adequate sidewalks or shoulders, county engineers have estimated.

School buses generally don’t serve students who live within a mile of their school.

“We are working hard on designing and getting our projects for 2015 under way,” Carter said.

In 2014, the county oversaw sidewalk and shoulder improvements at Cedar Wood Elementary near Bothell, Chain Lake Elementary near Monroe, Cougar Creek Elementary near Arlington, Discovery Elementary in south Everett, Jefferson Elementary in the Eastmont neighborhood outside Everett, Machias

Projects Elementary, Odyssey Elementary in south Everett, Salem Woods Elementary northeast of Monroe and Totem Falls Elementary east of Mill Creek.

Other schools received flashing traffic beacons and electronic speed limit signs.

While Nelson said the Seattle Hill community is happy with the sidewalk improvements so far, there’s more to come: installing flashing beacons in front of the school this summer and additional improvements along 51st Avenue in 2016.

Other pedestrian projects are planned near schools throughout the county.

Asylum From Page A1

The family appealed and nervously awaited a hearing date in September.

Other family members didn’t have the same immigration problems.

Dema, who lives in Seattle, had come to the States as a political refugee in 2006 and became a U.S. citizen. That allowed him to obtain green cards for his parents, Oksana and Sergii Nesterenko.

Immigration laws impose tougher requirements to get permanent residency for siblings.

That’s why the sisters had green cards. The family had hoped to apply to get the sisters asylum status after their arrival, but their plans hit a snag. Ordinarily, you cannot apply for asylum if you’ve been in the United States for more than a year.

The Nesterenkos said bad advice from an immigration attorney in Ukraine left them unaware of that rule.

Oksana arrived in May 2012 with her daughters.

Sergii rejoined the family about six months later.

Zuckerberg wrote. “I’ve found reading books very intellectually fulfilling.

Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today.”

The first book in his program, Moises Naim’s “The End of Power: From Boardrooms to Battlefields and

Both parents found work, Oksana in a Russian bakery and Sergii as a welder.

“Everything you see here, they worked hard to earn it,” said Dema, from his parents’ duplex near Paine Field. “Both of them work hard to provide the family what they need.”

They have been elated with Angelina’s progress during the two years she’s been enrolled in special education classes at Mariner High School.

She can write her name in English, something she never learned in her native Russian. Even more important though, was finding a sense of dignity.

Angelina didn’t attend school in Ukraine, where official paperwork branded her with a stigmatizing medical designation. Without her family providing full-time care, she faced a grim future in a government facility.

“Anegelina had lived in isolation for 16 years,” Dema said.

While sitting still, there’s little that sets Angelina apart from any other shy,

gangling teenager. She’s quiet, but has a ready smile.

Her family says she has the mental ability of a child as young as 4. She has trouble with coordination and a higher-than-normal risk of falling. She has a sharp memory, though.

Her family isn’t sure what caused the condition, or what to call it. They suspect it may stem from a lack of oxygen during her mother’s difficult labor.

They didn’t realize anything was wrong until she was a toddler.

In addition to Angelina’s disability, other factors complicated the family’s situation.

They hail from the Donetsk region, one of the eastern Ukrainian provinces hardest hit by the country’s civil war.

More than a million people have been displaced by the conflict, the United Nations Refugee Agency reports.

The family’s former home lies about 10 miles from the crash site of the Malaysian Airlines jet shot down in a rebel-controlled area on July 17, Dema estimated.

“The house they lived in is destroyed because of the war,” he said.

■ Totem Falls Elementary: install flashing beacons at a school crossing on Snohomish Cascade Drive. Summer 2015.

Like many others, they’re unsure what to think of the conflict. Russian and Ukrainian news channels portray events in such a different light, that it’s often difficult to believe they’re describing the same developments.

The family’s own ethnic makeup also put them in a tough spot. The mother, Oksana, is Russian while the father, Sergii, is Ukrainian. That could create problems for one or the other, depending on what region of Ukraine they’re in.

Another worry involves religion. The Nesterenkos are Baptist and say they suffered persecution as minorities in predominantly Orthodox Christian Ukraine.

As they awaited the sisters’ immigration hearing, people were quick to help.

Support letters came from a teacher at Mariner High School, a neurologist who has been treating Angelina and their pastor at Spring of Life Church in Mukilteo.

Dema counted on support from co-workers with at Local 775NW of the Service Employees International Union.

An immigration attorney in Everett offered her services for free. Newspaper

and television stories drew attention to the case.

By the time they reached their immigration interview, the officer who heard the case already seemed to know the details. Dema said he found himself biting his nails during the proceedings.

Then they waited.

A few weeks later, in October, they received a phone call.

Dema went with their immigration attorney, Mirka Nakovski, to the bakery where his mother works. They wanted to deliver the news in person.

“She literally dropped everything,” Dema said.

“She didn’t speak.”

Relief had replaced anxiety.

The girls had been granted asylum. A followup letter from Citizenship and Immigration Services, dated Oct. 30, explained that the sisters could stay in the United States and, later, apply for permanent residency.

“It was a very difficult year,” Dema said. “I think God was helping us and guiding us.”

Snohomish deputy returns to his roots

By Rikki King Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — For the first time in years, a police officer will be assigned to Snohomish High School again, starting on Monday.

It won’t, however, be the first time that Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy Charlie Frati steps onto the campus. He graduated from Snohomish High in 1995.

Frati, 37, has worked for both the Snohomish Police Department and the Snohomish County

Sheriff’s Office over the years, before the two agencies became one in 2012. He also has previously worked as a school resource officer at Snohomish High School and he lives just outside town.

The Snohomish School District cut its school resource officer program in 2012, due to budget constraints. In 2015, the school district will pay for 75 percent of Frati’s salary and benefits while the city of Snohomish picks up the rest, Police Chief John Flood said. The city pays the sheriff’s office to police the town.

Frati will be assigned to patrol in Snohomish during the summer. The addition of the new position brings the city’s police force to 18 commissioned officers, Flood said.

Multiple deputies applied for the job, and the vice principal sat in on the interviews. Frati was chosen for his compassion, his problem-solving skills and because he’s approachable, Flood said.

His job will be to connect with students and staff to “make sure everyone has a safe day

at school,” Flood said. Historically, school resource officers are people students trust when they need to report violence at home, including sexual abuse, the chief said.

Frati will help the 1,800-student campus with discipline proceedings and drug-prevention education. The most common crime reported at the school is drug possession, Flood said. Frati also will work on safety planning, improving campus security and lockdown procedures.

The Snohomish County

Sheriff’s Office has school resource officers, along with the police departments in Arlington, Everett, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Mill Creek and Monroe.

Work also now is under way to add an officer back to Glacier Peak High School, possibly in 2015, Flood said.

“Unfortunately, it’s a sign of the times that we need that presence at the school, but it’s also a tremendous benefit to the students there,” he said.

‘Ambassador of kindness’ What drives Snohomish High’s Matt Forrest? Being there to help

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Matt Forrest is a senior at Snohomish High School. He is a school leader, has a 4.0 grade-point average and serves as president of the National Honor Society. Forrest, 18, is known throughout the school for his kindness.

Question: What drives you to be kind to others?

Answer I’ve experienced difficult times and I know everybody does. You never know

what a person might be going through. I think about how I can help. Just a smile can make a difference in someone’s day.

I think it’s something people should be obligated to do. If people were kinder, the world would be a better place.

Q: Tell us how you were honored for your kindness.

A: Mike Smith came to school last year. He’s a motivational speaker who talks about kindness, treating people with respect and doing small things that can impact how everything

runs. I was chosen with three others as an “ambassador of kindness.” It was pretty neat because I would have never expected that, just sitting there in the audience. When you’re just opening a door for someone, you don’t think about being recognized.

Q: What do you like to do for fun?

A: I’ve been taking German for four years. My mom was able to go on a trip to Germany in her high school career so we’re able to have conversations. That was

the motivation for me to learn the language.

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: My hobbies are doing stop-action photos and building life-size Lego creations. I also do You Tube videos, showing my creations. I give insight into how my pieces are built, but a lot of people don’t. They want to keep their ideas secret, but I don’t mind sharing.

Q: You’re involved in several groups that help other students.

Smoldering campfire sparked Lakewood fire

By Rikki King Herald Writer

LAKEWOOD — A wildfire that burned 37 acres near Lakewood in June has been attributed to a smoldering campfire.

The state Department of Natural Resources recently closed its investigation, said Tom Smith, a fire operations forester with the Sedro-Woolley office.

No suspects were identified.

The June 12 fire didn’t appear to be intentionally set, Smith said. It apparently spread from a campfire where people were partying. There were various beer bottles and cans nearby.

The fire was reported about 4:30 p.m. off Happy Hollow Road, east of Warm Beach and north of Lake Goodwin, in the Silvana fire district.

The area affected had been clear-cut. It had been replanted earlier in 2014 and was growing Douglas fir, Smith said. The tiny trees were destroyed. A damage estimate wasn’t available. No homes caught fire.

Smith said.

Dry weather in the days before combined with windy conditions contributed to the fire’s size and the amount of smoke produced, Smith said.

“It slowly spread for a little awhile and it wasn’t until later in the day and the winds picked up and really caused it to spread quickly,” he said.

The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board late in 2014 awarded 73 street and sidewalk improvement grants to local agencies totaling $95.2 million. The grant funding comes from the revenue generated by 3 cents of the statewide gas tax dedicated by the Legislature for local agency grants.

Locally, Snohomish County and eight cities received grants.

The biggest grant is for $4 million toward a $12.9 million project by Snohomish County to widen Seattle Hill Road, which reporter Noah Haglund recently told you about.

Mukilteo will receive a grant to cover 60 percent of the costs of its $1.6 million project to expand Harbour Pointe Boulevard, from Highway 525 to Cyrus Way. The project widens Harbour Pointe Boulevard to include four travel lanes, a two-way left turn lane, curb, gutter and sidewalk. Energy efficient street lights and rain gardens also are part of the mix.

Other cities that received grants for street and sidewalk projects were Granite Falls (South Granite Avenue), Sultan (Date Avenue), Darrington (Darrington Street), Gold Bar (Fifth Street), Lake Stevens (North Davies Road), Marysville (Grove Street) and Monroe (Main Street).

These were smaller projects, but it’s never a small thing to have your street’s pothole filled.

Snohomish Station, and now you’re trying to head back home across town.

Good luck.

Rick Simonsen of Snohomish relates what can be drudgery for rushhour drivers near the popular shopping complex as they drive east on 30th Street and reach (or try to reach) Highway 9.

“At times, during busy shopping days, that light can back traffic up clear to Bickford Avenue,” he said.

A nearby school and its accompanying busy pickup times doesn’t help.

The problem is particularly acute for drivers trying to turn left onto northbound Highway 9.

“It becomes a total nightmare and can become extremely dangerous when people try to beat oncoming traffic or ‘squeeze’ through on red,” Simonsen said. “A dedicated left-turn signal is desperately needed there before something really terrible occurs.”

There’s sympathy in the city ranks, and Public Works Director Steve Schuller said changes are on the way.

“The city’s been working for a couple years on this,” he said.

The city plans to add an additional lane on eastbound 30th Street for drivers who want to go straight across Highway 9 or turn right to go southbound. The existing lane would become a dedicated left-turn lane. The project also would add sidewalk, curb and gutter. Details are still being worked out with the state Department of Transportation on traffic signal changes and whether a dedicated left-turn arrow would be part of the improvements.

The city secured a $199,000 federal grant through the Puget Sound Regional Council toward the $250,000 design and permitting phase, which is nearing completion.

The city used $51,000 of its Transportation Benefit District funds for a required matching contribution.

The city’s now on a contingency list for a federal grant to help fund construction. It won’t get an answer on that until late 2015, however. Construction is estimated at $1 million.

The improvements won’t solve backups on northbound Highway 9.

“You’ll still be sitting waiting for your two spots each signal change as you do now,” Schuller said. But it should help the backup by letting people move who don’t need to turn left. “People can’t even get back and forth across our city at commute time.”

A flood watch was set to remain in effect for Western Washington rivers Monday, as forecasters warned that heavy rains would increase the risk of landslides.

Two or more inches of rain were forecast to fall in the Everett area on Sunday and Monday, the National Weather Service in Seattle reported.

Precipitation and warming temperature could

create conditions for flooding until at least Monday night. That includes the Stillaguamish and Snohomish river systems in Snohomish County.

The Weather Service also warned of rain contributing to a moderate risk of landslides that could linger for several days after the rain abates. Dangers are greatest near coastal bluffs and other steep hillsides. Last year’s mudslide near Oso was preceded by weeks of heavy rainfall.

While we’re on the topic of Highway 9 and left turns...

Mark Liechty of Granite Falls shares a concern we’re familiar with here at Street Smarts — dedicated left-turn signals.

“I have noticed lately

that when there is an intersection that is being reworked, for whatever reason, that the ‘Left Turn Yield on Green’ signs seem to go away, and are replaced by dedicated left-turn lights that have to go through an entire cycle of traffic from all directions before turning green,” Liechty said.

This has happened in several places on Highway 9 in particular.

“When there is no oncoming traffic, this is an unnecessary waste of time and fuel. ... This is one place that the DOT doesn’t need to protect us,” Liechty said.

The short answer from the state: Yes, we do.

“This is done to reduce the risk and severity of left turn-related collisions at signals,” said Tom Pearce, a spokesman with the state Department of Transportation.

“We realize this can be an inconvenience, but safety is our top priority.”

Backing up a bit, Pearce explained that there are several things the state considers in deciding whether to switch from green circles to green arrows.

“Our practice for determining whether a signal should have permissive left turns (meaning drivers can turn any time there’s a sufficient gap in traffic) or protected left turns (turning only when there’s a green arrow) is based on several items — the speed limit on the highway, the number of oncoming lanes a vehicle turning left must cross, and left turn-related collision history,” Pearce said.

From the ‘Pet Peeve’ department Reader Karen Greenwalt of Everett offers a reminder about headlights. “I am concerned about the number of drivers who do not turn on headlights in adverse weather conditions, especially fog and rain,” she said.

The law requires headlights when it’s dark or conditions make it difficult to see. The latest Washington Driver’s Guide sums it up this way: “Remember, if you turn on your wipers, turn on your headlights.”

In fog or snow, use low beams rather than high beams, which would reflect light back.

I would tack on the tail end of the car, too.

When we were hunting for a new family car a number of years back, the salesman was very excited to tell me that the vehicle we were testdriving had automatic headlights. I buckled my seat belt, turned the key and still turned on the headlights. He reminded me again. I said, “Does it have running tail lights, too?” Hmm, no. “Well, OK then.”

Search resumes at crash site Better weather could enable divers to find more victims and the fuselage of the AirAsia jet that crashed.

By Eileen Ng Associated Press

SURABAYA, Indonesia — The weather improved Monday and divers will attempt again to locate large objects on the ocean floor believed to be the fuselage of the AirAsia flight that crashed more than one week ago, killing all 162 on board.

At least five ships with equipment that can detect the plane’s black boxes have been deployed to the area where the suspected plane parts were spotted, said Suryadi B. Supriyadi, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue director of operations.

“If it cannot be done by divers, we will use sophisticated equipment with capabilities of tracking underwater objects and then will lift them up,” Supriyadi said.

Five large objects — the biggest measuring 59 feet long and 18 feet wide and believed to be the fuselage — have been detected, and Supriyadi

Divers from the National Search and Rescue Agency inspect their gear Sunday during search operations for victims of AirAsia Flight 8501 in the Java Sea near Indonesia.

repeated that officials expect that many passengers and crew will be found trapped inside.

“But today’s searching mission is still, once again, depend on the weather,” he said.

Divers tried to reach the site Sunday, but rolling seas stirred up silt and mud, leaving them with zero visibility.

Also Sunday, emotionally exhausted family members sang and cried at a tiny chapel in Surabaya, the city where Flight 8501 departed from Dec. 28. The Rev. Philip Mantofa, who heads the congregation

at Mawar Sharon Church — where more than a quarter of the victims were members — urged those gathered to find comfort in their faith.

“If God has called your child, allow me to say this: Your child is not to be pitied,” Mantofa said, locking eyes with a grieving father seated in the front row. “Your child is already in God’s arms. One day, your family will be reunited in heaven.”

It is not known what caused the Singapore-bound plane to crash into the Java Sea 42

minutes after taking off on what was supposed to be a twohour flight. Just before losing contact, the pilot told air traffic control that he was approaching threatening clouds, but was denied permission to climb to a higher altitude because of heavy air traffic.

Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, has been gripped by grief as bodies, one by one, continue arriving in simple, numbered coffins after being painstakingly pulled from the water. Four more bodies were brought to shore on Sunday, raising the total to 34.

The crash of Flight 8501 has triggered an intensive international search-and-recovery operation involving 20 planes and helicopters along with 27 ships from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and the United States. All have been desperately searching for the all-important black boxes, pieces of the Airbus A320 and corpses.

The investigation got a boost over the weekend when sonar equipment identified five large objects on the seabed in the search area, but no images have been captured confirming they are part of the aircraft.

Suspected plane parts also were seen scattered on beaches during an aerial survey.

New drug to help the obese approved

Health worker to be monitored for Ebola OMAHA, Neb. — An American health care worker who experienced high-risk exposure to the Ebola virus while working in Sierra Leone arrived at a Nebraska hospital Sunday for observation. The patient landed in Omaha on Sunday afternoon. Paramedics wearing fullbody protective gear drove the patient to the Nebraska Medical Center, which has a specialized biocontainment unit.

Dr. Phil Smith, who leads the unit, said the patient is neither ill nor contagious.

He said the patient will be observed for any signs of Ebola throughout the virus’ 21-day incubation period, and that “all appropriate precautions” will be taken.

Hospital spokesman Taylor Wilson added that doctors and nurses are wearing full protective gear and taking the same precautions they did when treating patients with Ebola, even though this patient hasn’t tested positive.

N.M.: Coyote contests Opponents of coyote-killing contests around New Mexico are gearing up for another attempt to have the practice banned. At least 10 environmental groups plan to urge lawmakers during this year’s legislative session to back legislation that would outlaw hunting coyotes for entertainment. Southwest Environmental Center executive director Kevin Bixby said he recently counted nearly 40 coyote carcasses dumped in the desert in Las Cruces, the Albuquerque Journal reported. He said the animals were left stuffed with wooden blocks inscribed with the date Dec. 21, a practice used in coyote-hunting contests.

Wyo.: Pot a no-no in park An increasing number of visitors to Yellowstone National Park are being prosecuted for possessing small amounts of medical and recreational pot, which remains illegal on federal land. Park rangers attribute the trend both to ignorance of federal law and the growing prevalence of legal pot in other states, including neighboring Colorado, which has legal medical and recreational marijuana. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cheyenne reports it prosecuted 21 marijuana cases from Yellowstone in 2010 and 52 in 2013. As of Dec. 17, the office had handled 80 cases in 2014.

The Philadelphia Inquirer The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug that may be help some of the millions of Americans resolving to lose weight this year.

The daily injectable drug, liraglutide, is part of a new class of diabetes medicines that prompt the pancreas to make extra insulin after meals.

Novo Nordisk first got approval to sell liraglutide five years ago as a diabetes therapy, brand name Victoza. The new, higher-dose prescription product, Saxenda, is specifically for weight loss in obese patients, and in overweight adults who have at least one weight-related problem such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Liraglutide offers a novel way to complement the venerable but vexing prescription of diet and exercise. In addition to boosting insulin, it works in the digestive system and the brain to increase the feeling of fullness and suppress appetite.

“Approximately 80 million people are suffering with obesity,” said Cherie Vaz, an endocrinologist at Temple University School of Medicine. “In general, diet drugs have modest effectiveness, but you want to be able to offer patients everything you can.”

Still, there is no escaping the larger context of liraglutide’s debut: Diet drugs have demonstrated, again and again since the 1950s, how little medical science really understands the biology of obesity. Every breakthrough has led to new puzzles and unforeseen dangers.

Obesity is a major public health issue, so in theory, a safe, effective treatment would be an automatic blockbuster.

Yet three diet drugs have been approved since 2012 — Belviq, Qsymia, and Contrave — and none has been a big seller, according to market analysts.

Partly, this is because “effective” does not mean the patient gets skinny. The FDA considers a drug effective if, with diet and exercise, it enables a 5 percent weight loss — because that is enough to spark health improvements such as lower blood pressure. But for people

Police officers (left) turn their backs in a sign of disrespect as Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks during Sunday’s funeral of New York Police Department Officer Wenjian Liu at Aievoli Funeral Home in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Liu and his partner, officer Rafael Ramos, were killed Dec. 20 as they sat in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street. The shooter, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, later killed himself.

Mayor eulogizes officer; cops outside turn backs Associated Press NEW YORK — Thousands of police turned their backs Sunday as Mayor Bill de Blasio eulogized an officer shot dead with his partner, repeating a stinging display of scorn for the mayor despite entreaties to put anger aside.

The show of disrespect came outside the funeral home where Officer Wenjian Liu was remembered as an incarnation of the American dream: a man who had emigrated from China at age 12 and devoted himself to helping others in his adopted country. The gesture among officers watching the mayor’s speech on a screen added to tensions between the mayor and rank-and-file police even as he sought to quiet them.

“Let us move forward by strengthening the bonds that unite us, and let us work together to attain peace,” de Blasio said at the funeral.

Liu, 32, had served as a policeman for seven years and was married just two months when he was killed with his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, Dec. 20. Liu’s longtime aspiration to become a police officer deepened after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, his father, Wei Tang Liu, said through tears.

And as he finished his daily work, the only child would call to say: “I’m coming home

today. You can stop worrying now,” the father recalled during a service that blended police tradition with references to Buddha’s teachings.

Dignitaries including FBI Director James Comey and members of Congress joined police officers from around the country in a throng of over 10,000 mourners. “When one of us loses our lives, we have to come together,” said Officer Lucas Grant of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office in Augusta, Georgia.

After hundreds of officers turned their backs to a screen where de Blasio’s remarks played during Ramos’ funeral last week, Police Commissioner William Bratton sent a memo urging respect, declaring “a hero’s funeral is about grieving, not grievance.”

But some officers and police retirees said they still felt compelled to spurn the mayor. Police union leaders have said he contributed to an environment that allowed the officers’ slayings by supporting protests following the police killings of Eric Garner on Staten Island and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

“The mayor has no respect for us. Why should we have respect for him?” said retired New York Police Department Detective Camille Sanfilippo, who was among those who turned their backs Sunday.

Retired NYPD Sgt. Laurie Carson called the action “our only way to show our displeasure with the mayor.”

Officers spun back around when Bratton took the podium to speak. Later, de Blasio stood outside the funeral home, to no visible reaction from officers, observing an honor guard and other rituals.

At Liu’s wake Saturday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the officers’ slayings a tragic story of “pure and random hatred.” Cuomo didn’t attend the funeral, which came as he prepared to bury his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo.

The officers’ killer, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, committed suicide shortly after the brazen daytime ambush on a Brooklyn street. Investigators say Brinsley was an emotionally disturbed loner who had made references online to the killings this summer of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers, vowing to put “wings on pigs” in retaliation.

The deaths strained an already tense relationship between city police unions and de Blasio. Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch, whose rank-and-file union is negotiating a contract with the city, turned his back on the mayor at a hospital the day of the killings and said de Blasio had “blood on his hands.”

Hundreds of air travelers landed in San Francisco, safe but irritated after a 28-hour overseas flight they say included 12 hours on a tarmac in the Middle East without food or accurate flight information. Tempers grew short on Etihad Airlines Flight 183 when fog in the city of Abu Dhabi delayed takeoff for a half-day, passengers told San Francisco broadcaster KGO. “They kept telling us that we were going to leave, you know 15 minutes from now, 20 minutes from now, 30 minutes for now, for 12 hours,” passenger Thomas Piani told reporters in San Francisco after finally landing in the city Saturday evening. Passengers said the crew told them the Abu Dhabi airport was too crowded with other stranded flights to allow them to get off the plane to wait.

AROUND THE WORLD Britain: Eight missing British rescue teams searched Sunday for eight missing crew members from a cargo ship that capsized north of Scotland. Searchers on two helicopters and four lifeboats were looking for survivors from the bulk carrier Cemfjord, which was carrying cement from Aalborg, Denmark, to Runcorn on England’s west coast. A passing ferry in the Pentland Firth off Scotland spotted the upturned hull of the Cyprus-flagged ship Saturday. The hull sunk below the water Sunday and the 272-foot vessel was no longer visible, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said Sunday.

S. Korea: Sanctions blasted North Korea on Sunday criticized the United States for slapping sanctions on Pyongyang officials and organizations for a cyberattack on Sony Pictures — the latest fallout from a Hollywood movie depicting the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. An unnamed spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, in rhetoric that closely mirrors past statements, denied any role in the breach of tens of thousands of confidential Sony emails and business files and accused the United States of “groundlessly” stirring up hostility toward Pyongyang. The spokesman said the new sanctions would not weaken the country’s 1.2-million-strong military.

Sign says it all for new Workforce exec

AMY WATKINS / HBJ

Erin Monroe took over as the head of WorkForce Snohomish in September.

Funding cut for agency is good news — it signals lower jobless rate

By Amy Watkins Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — Four words are painted outside of Erin Monroe’s office.

The bold white letters on the ocean blue wall spell out, “Love what you do.” Monroe does that on a daily basis as the new chief executive officer of Workforce Snohomish.

“From when I first started working here I have been happy every day and you know you’re in the right place when you love your job,” she said. “It has its challenges but I love what we do and our mission.”

Monroe started her new role at Workforce Snohomish on Sept. 15. She takes the place of Sue Ambler, who retired in August after serving as the nonprofit’s CEO for eight years.

The organization located at 808 134th St. SW, focuses on preparing and supporting the current and future workforce within Snohomish County. It also invests government and private funding to help people gain employment and oversees WorkSource centers in Everett, Mountlake Terrace and Monroe.

The county’s unemployment rate has dropped from 10 percent to just more than 5 percent in the last two years and Monroe said she gives a lot of credit to the WorkSource centers for the decrease. The lower rate also led this year to a $750,000 cut in Workforce Investment Act funding.

“We had a decrease in our funding of 20 percent this year,” she said. “What that means is we’re doing our job to get people back to work because the funding follows unemployment and

the rate and that’s just part of the calculations, so whenever we get that cut we know we did our job.”

As CEO, Monroe oversees a budget of nearly $9 million.

She has started working with the nonprofit’s close to 50 different partners so current and future employment needs in the county can be fulfilled.

Monroe got her start with the Workforce Snohomish in 2009 as the director of finance.

Four years later she became the chief financial officer at the nonprofit. Monroe is a certified public accountant who worked previously as a state auditor, an accountant for the City of Edmonds, and an internal auditor for PEMCO Insurance Co. Monroe understands the complexity of the whole organization and has a proven track record of team building, said Jeff

Tomson, chairman of the Workforce Snohomish Board.

“She also is very good at building relationships and partnerships with the community and our selection choice to have Erin come on board was a culmination of all those positive attributes,” he said.

Monroe has a personable, engaging style and can carry on from where Ambler left off, said Ed Petersen, executive director of Housing Hope.

“She’s got the historical context and has been there long enough to know how the system works and who the players are,” he said.

“She’s been out in the community a lot. I love her energy.

Moving forward, Monroe wants to help grow the My First Job program, which was started last spring to connect employers with youths. She also plans

to put together a case study about how Workforce Snohomish hired 89 people after the March 22 Oso mudslide. Those hired were considered longterm unemployed and work alongside Snohomish Parks and Recreation Department personnel on trails and other renovation projects until the end of October.

She is also going ahead with an idea proposed by Ambler to start a for-profit company to develop sustainable funding for the Workforce Snohomish. The company, Infralign, is expected to be incorporated in December, Monroe said.

“It’s a slow process,” Monroe said. “There are not very many nonprofits that are opening for profit arms. We’re not rushing into things we want to make sure it’s done right.”

Online startup matches home sellers, buyers

By Libby Martucci Herald Business Journal

biz bits

It’s like a matchmaking website.

Only for real estate.

A new company is trying to make it easier for homeowners to get a feel for interest in their home before they put their house on the market — and allow buyers to connect with them.

The online startup service Rebls provides a website where you type in your address and see people who are looking for homes in your area. If you want to go a step further, you can post your home on the site and they’ll even send out a professional photographer for free to take pictures of your home.

Home buyers can get on the website and type in an area or ZIP code to find houses listed on Rebls.

“We’re not shy about saying we want to make real estate

better than it is now,” said Adriane Holter, vice president, communications for Rebls. The business model makes it free for both the buyer and seller. The company charges a fee for real estate agents and eventually plans to do the same for title companies.

“Rebls monetizes through agents and soon lenders. Currently we just have agents on the

a couple of entries turn up. That’s why the company is offering photographers to come out to homes so they can build their site.

“It’s a really cool way for us to make the site look beautiful, people like looking at beautiful photos which is great for us, the homeowner and buyer,” Holter said.

The company was initially called a Real Estate Buyers Listing Service, but was quickly shortened to the acronym “Rebls” and made a proper noun.

Rebls was founded in 2010

by Bryan Copley, who was later joined by Jeff White in 2013.

Copley, who is originally from Mountlake Terrace and went to Lake Stevens High School, said technology should be the catalyst to making buying and selling homes easier.

“I started Rebls because real estate should be focused on the experiences of people and their homes, not the pain of the current real estate process,” Copley said.

Reid Middleton, an Everettbased engineering, planning and surveying firm, has hired

Colin English as senior aviation planner, Brian Matsumoto as project engineer, Courtney Langer as designer 1, and Thomas Schoonover as survey party chief, in their Everett office.

The company has also promoted Don Barclay and Karla Kendall to senior engineer and Melanie Haagsma to design engineer in its Everett office.

People using the site are able to contact other consumers on the site through Rebls’ communication platform.

“We want to create this market place for people to very early on keep a pulse on the market, and have more insight of what’s going on with their most important asset which is their home,” Holter said.

The website has partnered with real estate agents that are willing to lower their commission for clients who have matched themselves with a home on Rebls.

There is also a section of the website that says, “Find an Agent,” for those who may have more questions or do not already have an agent they work with.

“We are not trying to cut out the agent, we are just trying to make the match-making portion of real estate more efficient,” Holter said. “Agents are negotiators, educators, transaction coordinators, and the experts, that’s why we work with agents.”

IN OUR VIEW | Mountain Loop Highway motocross park

Balanced ruling on motocross It might not be everyone’s idea of a nice day in the forest, but that’s where the “multiple” in “multiple use” comes in.

A Snohomish County hearing examiner, following a second review of plans for a motocross facility along the Mountain Loop Highway, has approved the project, attaching a long list of conditions in a 157-page report that addresses noise, a threatened bird species, stormwater runoff, dust, light pollution, fire danger, traffic and more, as Herald Writer Noah Haglund reported last week.

At the same time, the hearing examiner rejected a State Environmental Policy Act appeal by opponents.

MXGP proposes, over the course of 15 years, to build a complex of motocross tracks on 437 wooded acres northeast of Granite Falls between the Mountain Loop Highway and Canyon Creek near two

rock quarries. The company purchased the land in 2007 after the County Council agreed to open up some of its commercial forestland for the motorcycle tracks.

The project can proceed with its application for permits, though it may still face appeals to the Snohomish County Council and Snohomish County Superior Court by the Mountain Loop Conservancy, the Pilchuck Audubon Society and the North Cascades Conservation Council.

This is not to say that the environmental groups above did not have legitimate concerns about the project’s impacts, most importantly related to noise from motorcycles and trucks used to haul them, potential pollution of runoff into the fish-bearing Canyon Creek, a tributary of the South Fork Stillaguamish River, and the habitat of marbled murrelet, listed as

threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Yet the hearing examiner’s report and the conditions it will hold the project to, seem adequate to address those concerns: ■■Regarding noise, the din from motorbikes cannot exceed 49 decibels — a level lower than the volume of conversation — at the complex’s property lines. If the noise comes within 5 decibels of that limit, the operators must conduct continual noise monitoring for at least nine months.

■■Regarding stormwater runoff, the project must be designed to adhere to the county’s rules for mitigating potential impacts with additional steps enforced through the SEPA process if the county’s stormwater regulations are found inadequate.

■■Likewise, the examiner, citing the testimony of three wildlife experts, said that

murrelets in the nearest known nest, almost a mile from the property, would not be harmed by noise from the project.

Recently we noted that supporters of an expansion of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness worked with a group of mountain bike enthusiasts to encourage passage of the expansion in Congress.

Supporters, among them Washington Wild, sought Wild and Scenic River protection along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River instead of Wilderness Act protection because it would keep open an existing bike trail that otherwise would have been closed because of the Wilderness Act’s stricter rules.

It’s compromises, like those above, that will protect the most important and fragile areas while opening up other areas — with protections in place — for a greater variety of uses.

Bill Moyers delivered weekly what our political system needs more than ever before: the facts, best as he could see them. He hosted discussions where, for the most part, he and the guests were seeking the truth. His show on PBS will be missed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■TORTURE

The antithesis of what we cherish The recent Senate report based on five years of investigation into U.S.-sanctioned torture inspired a multitude of responses. From the outset one must acknowledge that the Senate report did not showcase any information regarding the United States’ active role in torture that was not readily available for anyone doing even a cursory review. The United States has a long and glorious history of supporting despots and dictators with unspeakable legacies of torture, slaughter and unimaginable inhumanity.

Lets not forget Sen. Alan Simpson advising our dear friend Saddam Hussein back in 1990 that American reporters were “bastards” for having the gall to document and showcase our great friend’s passion for torture and murder.

What is disturbing is recent polls that tell us that a concerning majority of Americans believe that our forays into torture and murder and other illicit activities is just fine and dandy and actually a useful tool in our now endless “war on terror.” From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, this position is at best ludicrous. Citizens need to research the history on this subject painstakingly documented by Alfred McCoy. The jury is in. The widespread use of torture will not provide the torturers relevant and useful information. Torturing people will not give a nation the inside track on coveted or desired information regarding the evil plans of terrorists.

What torture will do and has done is denigrate the United States and eliminate any pretext that we are a just and law-abiding nation. We eclipse any and all limits on hypocrisy if we speak with reverence about our love of freedom and democracy while at the same time endorsing and giving tacit approval to torture and other forms of medieval barbarism.

I recall one author talking about what occurred in Weimar Germany in the 1930s: Certain “doors” were opened that never should have seen the light of day. The end result was one of the darkest periods in human history. In recent years the United States empire has been opening a lot of “doors.” Citizens need to become acutely aware of the implications of our sudden departure from reason and morality. We need to readily acknowledge torturers not as heroic freedom fighters and valiant warriors striving to rid the world of evil, but as

■■BILL MOYERS

His truth-seeking will be missed Regarding the article, “Bill Moyers signs off — for the final time, he swears”: More and more “common sense” takes center stage when the political right’s strategists begin an argument. University researchers and social scientists twist facts to get funding, they say. Arguments denying global warming frustrate even the most patient.

Followed by the tremendous overall advantages of economic equity that a myriad of social scientists are arguing and Republicans are dismissing.

Nothing seems to get through the wall of political contributions or emotional rhetoric and ideology with Democrats or Republicans.

Bill Moyers has for nearly five decades opened our minds to intelligent discourse and analysis. He has contributed greatly to my sense of social awareness over the years. And I’ve never once felt he was disrespectful of my religious ideals.

■■THE HERALD

Wrong to stoop Blaming all to tricky ads fathers is illogical The letter “Stand up, take responsibility” discusses the issue of 800 homeless children in our county. Most might agree that “Anyone who can afford beer, cigarettes, cable TV, drugs or tattoos doesn’t need welfare or food stamps.”

The indiscriminate attack on fathers of homeless children, however, invites a closer look: “Men have a funny mindset that they do not want to pay taxes to the government so they won’t work for a paycheck.”

By carelessly and foolishly assuming that all members of a certain group have the undesirable qualities which match her preconceptions, the writer reveals an unseemly “mindset” of her own. To assert that every child’s homelessness is a result of a father’s unwillingness to provide, even when able, is absurdly unfair. Space allows consideration of just two of the many plausible reasons for child homelessness: 1) Julie Muhlstein’s coverage of the yearly homeless count confirms that the term “children” denotes anyone under the age of 18. Is it just possible then, that at least some of these homeless “children” left home for reasons other than a lack of parental support? 2) It mentions too that homelessness results not only from poor choices and decisions, but also from additional factors over which people have no control. Thus, there may be

I am wondering if anyone else was misled by the “Holiday Savings” ad from The Daily Herald a few weeks ago. The ad stated “From: The Daily Herald. To: You Or A Friend(s)!” in large letters.

Underneath, also in large letters, it stated “50% OFF a 52 Week, 7-Day Print & Digital Subscription! Only $93 Promo Code: HOLIDAY.” My annual invoice arrived on Dec. 31 so I called The Herald to find out how to use the promo code as there was no space for it on the invoice.

I was told this was only for new subscribers. “But”, I said, “it states in large letters ‘TO YOU’ and that should mean me or anyone. It doesn’t say TO YOU, NEW SUBSCRIBER.” “Oh,” the speaker on the phone said, “I’m sorry if you misinterpreted this. It says new subscriber at the very bottom of the page.”

We see deception a lot in advertising, especially department stores, but I think it’s a shame when it comes from our local paper. In addition, my invoice was more than last year, even with continually missing items such as the daily TV guide and now the 25- and 50-year-ago local history. Not to mention all the single pages which tend to fall on the floor while reading the paper.

Conservative’s gifts benefitting blue state cities

O

ne may start the day at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. On the way in, you’ll pass through the new David H. Koch Plaza — the result of a $65 million gift from David H. Koch.

After lunch, cross Central Park to the American Museum of Natural History, and marvel at the giant stegosaurus of the tiny brain. You will find him and other FROMA HARROP prehistoric remains in the David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing, funded with a $20 million check penned by David H. Koch.

Yes, that’s the same David H. Koch who, with his famous brothers, finances rightwing campaigns against environmental laws, taxes and really any public obligation that might inconvenience the heirs to the Koch Industries fortune. David does sprinkle a few million on think tanks that spread the word. And he pays for parties in red states to train the tea party troops to curse government and quietly submit to being polluted upon by the various subsidiaries of Kansas-based Koch Industries.

But personally, he’ll take Manhattan, where he lives in the grand style surrounded by liberals. There he talks up his fairly progressive views on social matters that don’t affect his bottom line. Neighbors running the cultural and scientific institutions are delighted to have him on their boards and thank him profusely for his contributions.

Some humorless New York liberals may grumble at Koch’s ubiquity while basking in his munificence. About which, the night is still young.

Cocktails and then off to the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. Home of the New York City Ballet, the building ceased to be called the New York State Theater after a fix-up funded with $100 million from David H. Koch.

Should you slip on the theater’s magnificent inlaid marble floor and fracture bones, you may be rushed to the David H. Koch Pavilion at the Hospital for Special Surgery, overlooking the East River.

The billionaire gave the hospital $25 million.

Soon you won’t have to leave Manhattan’s Upper East Side for superb outpatient care. The future David H. Koch Center is being built by New YorkPresbyterian Hospital. Koch’s gift of $100 million is the largest in the hospital’s history.

Nearby, at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, state-of-the-art treatments are being supported by a $67 million gift from David H. Koch.

Not all the charity stays in Manhattan, though. For example, the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the fruit of a $100 million gift from you-know-who.

You have to appreciate this: Not far from MIT, brother Bill Koch owns a 26-acre waterfront estate in plush Osterville, on Cape Cod. (David prefers to summer in the Hamptons.) Bill has fought with money and legal brass knuckles against a wind farm planned for Nantucket Sound.

Now, Koch Industries’ oil-coalchemical empire is considered one of the nation’s worst polluters, its leaks, spills and chemical explosions visited mostly in the red states. But when wind turbines were proposed for his yachting grounds off Massachusetts, Bill complained they would cause “visual pollution.”

The conservative crusade to shrink government has already slashed federal spending on science and culture, with interesting results. Federal funding traditionally spreads to all regions. The more these budgets are cut the more nonprofit organizations must depend on the generosity of billionaires.

Billionaire giving tends to favor elite institutions, which are concentrated in New York, California, Massachusetts and a few other progressive states. That’s also where the billionaires are concentrated and where they receive invitations to party and give.

So in the end, the strangle-government movement enhances the competitive advantage of the liberal powerhouses.

Another irony of red-state politics to throw on the pile.

A: With the National Honor Society, I do tutoring for other students who need help with math or English. We also tutor with special-needs students. It’s a great way to interact and help on a first-person basis. It’s a very rewarding feeling to be able to help whenever possible.

Q: What other ways are you able to help?

A: I’ve been Link Crew leader for two years. We take freshmen around before school starts. It helps them get a feel for the school. Leadership has been a big part of my high school career.

It really helped me to be myself, step outside my comfort zone and talk to people. It’s important because you can’t get the message as well in a text as you a can in a simple conversation.

Q: What are your other leadership activities?

A: The Associated Student Body leadership class opened my eyes last year. I was chair of the canned food drive. I set it up and dealt with the food bank. We collected 6,070 canned food items and $450 in donations for the Snohomish food bank. Not many kids get to experience what something like that is like. It’s indescribable. There’s just something about helping people. Being able to be a part of something bigger than my high school was a true gift.

But it was almost like he got to go with me.

Q: Do you want to talk about what your grandfather meant to you?

A: My grandfather was a very influential person in my life. A lot of the reason I try so hard in school is so my grandparents and parents would be proud. I’ve seen the kind of tough things a family can go through when struggles arise, so I know how it feels when someone smiles. Whether it was teaching me to fish or to hang in there when things got rough, my grandfather was there. He had a tough childhood, so he knew what it means to have people be nice when they don’t have to be.

Q: What are your plans for the future?

A: I’m still figuring out what I’m going to do.

There’s a lot of things I’m interested in. I’m thinking about studying history or becoming a school counselor or psychiatrist.

I think that’d be a career path where I could combine my job with my love of helping people.

Q: What schools are you considering?

A: The University of Washington because that’s where my grandpa went. It’d be incredible to go to the same school.

I need to do some research on other colleges. I have about 400 emails in my inbox from schools, so I have a lot of work to do.

Q: What lessons from high school do you hope to take with you?

Associated Press TACOMA — Some Washington officials want to spend more money on thinning forests in hopes of preventing another devastating fire season.

The state Department of Natural Resources is asking the Legislature to quintuple the amount spent on forest hazard reduction — to $20 million — in the next two years, The News Tribune reported.

“We think it’s warranted in light of the fire season we just had,” said state forester Aaron Everett.

About $17 million would go toward thinning forests, while the rest would be spent on replanting areas damaged by wildfires and working with communities to prevent fire damage.

In the past five years, the state has spent about $200 million fighting wildfires, but only about $31 million trying to keep Washington’s forests healthy and less likely to burn.

Last summer’s wildfires burned more than 640 square miles throughout Washington. They included the biggest fire in state history: the Carlton Complex, which scorched 400 square miles and

destroyed 300 homes in the Methow Valley.

Ann Stanton’s home was not among those destroyed, and she credits a state grant program with saving it. A year earlier, Stanton and her husband worked with DNR to thin the trees on their 20-acre property.

Under the program, the state removes half of the small trees on a noncommercial landowner’s property if the landowner takes care of the rest. DNR is seeking $7.5 million in the next two years to expand the program. With that money, the state estimates it could treat about 18 square miles throughout Washington, more than doubling the amount of noncommercial thinning performed annually on private lands.

“It made all the difference in the world for us,” Stanton said. “The house was completely spared. If you could ignore the black trunks on some of the ponderosa pines, you could imagine the fire had never happened.”

Stories like hers show that thinning works, but thinning trees on small private properties can be especially expensive, because often the woody

debris produced has no commercial value to offset the cost of the work.

Federal land is another trouble spot: According to state estimates, the U.S. Forest Service manages 43 percent of Washington’s forests that need thinning or replanting. But the Forest Service has been overwhelmed with firefighting costs in recent years, forcing it to pull money from its tree-thinning and fire prevention programs.

Historically, small fires thinned trees naturally, but in the past century fire crews have extinguished many of those fires to protect nearby homes and businesses. That has left many forests overgrown and more susceptible to major fires, Everett said.

State officials estimate that about 30 percent of forests in Eastern Washington — more than 4,200 square miles — need work, such as thinning or the planting of fire- and insect-resistant trees. Government agencies, private landowners and timber companies only complete treatments on about 220 square miles per year, Everett said.

Densely packed trees also compete for light, water and

nutrients, making them more susceptible to bugs and fire damage alike.

That’s where thinning and controlled burning come in, practices that can save money in the long run.

In addition to expanding the grant program, Washington’s DNR is seeking $2 million to pay for crews of military veterans to thin trees and clear brush around 1,500 homes, and $5 million to thin about 29,500 acres of state-managed forests, which would include work to prevent insect infections that kill trees and upset forest ecosystems.

The budget request is “ambitious and aggressive,” Everett acknowledged. Two years ago, DNR made a similar $20 million request.

It only got $4 million for thinning forests throughout the state.

But some lawmakers think there will be more support this year after last year’s fire season.

“The forest health stuff is a no-brainer for me,” said state Rep. Brian Blake, a Democrat from Aberdeen who chairs the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. “The fires are only going to get worse if we don’t do that.”

LOCAL BRIEFLY

Woman displaced by electrical fire EVERETT — A woman in her 70s was displaced from her home near Beverly Lake by electrical fire on Saturday evening, Everett firefighters said.

The woman had been watching television at the house on the 300 block of 75th Street SE when she heard a popping sound shortly before 7:30 p.m., assistant fire marshal Eric Hicks said. She went to the utility room to investigate and saw flames coming from the electrical panel.

She ran out of the house after a failed attempt to use a fire extinguisher.

Once firefighters arrived, they were able to put out the flames within minutes, Hicks said. Smoke and flames caused severe interior damage to the house.

A faulty electrical system sparked the fire, investigators determined. No one was injured. The local American Red Cross chapter was helping the woman.

Marysville: Chimney fire damages house; 2 escape Two people escaped harm Sunday morning when a chimney fire caused heavy damage to their house in the 12700 block of State Avenue, Marysville firefighters said.

Crews responded to the large, twostory home around 8:20 a.m. and found a full attic fire, Battalion Chief Scott Goodale said.

Investigators estimated damage at $175,000, Goodale said. The couple who live at the house were staying with relatives.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

DAILY CROSSWORD

4 rules for teaching obedience, responsibility

By John Rosemond Tribune News Service

W

ho are the happier campers in a workplace setting: the employees who (a) obey the rules, follow the procedures and voice any complaints respectfully, such that the entire workplace is not disrupted, or (b) disobey the rules at every possible opportunity, deliberately fail to follow procedures and disrupt the workplace with frequent and often subversive complaints?

You answered (a) of course.

And so it is with children. The happiest kids, so finds the best research (if interested, Google Diana Baumrind and Robert Larzelere), are those who obey parents and teachers, do what they are expected to do without lots of management and voice complaints and disagreements respectfully.

Therefore, because happiness is a child’s right (because, for one, a child cannot learn the benefits of pursuing it unless he has first experienced it), teaching obedience and respect is a fundamental parental responsibility — the third, in fact, which comes after securing a child’s physical well-being and

demonstrating unconditional love.

The question then becomes: How does a parent go about teaching obedience and respect? The answer is in four parts.

First, the parent acts like she knows what she is doing and knows that what she is doing is correct. This means, for example, that the parent does not need to consult with a 5-year-old to determine what foods are going to be on the child’s dinner plate. The parent is, in a word, decisive. She knows it is more important, generally, to be decisive than to always make the most perfectly correct decision (if there is even such a thing).

Second, the parent acts like she knows why she is doing what she is doing. She is guided by overarching principles, not whim or emotion. Therefore, she is consistent from decision to decision. The parent is, in a word, purposeful. Her purpose is to assist the child toward standing on his own two feet, to raise a compassionate and responsible citizen.

Third, the parent acts like she knows what she expects of the child, what she wants the child to do at any given point in time.

she does not bend forward, grab her knees, and speak to the child in a beseeching tone of voice. She does not offer reward for obedience or threaten punishment for disobedience. She simply tells, using as few words as possible, and never, ever punctuates an instruction with a question mark.

She communicates to the child that he will do what she tells him to do not because of reward or threat but simply because she tells.

The parent, in five words, comes straight to the point.

Fourth, the parent acts like she knows the child is going to obey.

After giving an instruction, she leaves the area (if at all possible).

She does not stand there, waiting for obedience, because that is the equivalent of saying, “I don’t think you’re going to do what I just told you to do.” And that is definitely going to provoke push-back. The parent, in three words, communicates positive expectations.

Those four attributes define the effective delivery of authority regardless of setting. They define effective leadership, and effective parenting is a relatively simple matter of providing a child with equal measures of love and leadership.

How simple is that?

Dear Abby: I am engaged to the father of my son. We have been together for five years.

He’s in a wheelchair and has been since he was a child. I love him very much and am ready to be his wife.

Every time I would tell my mother we planned to be married, she’d give me a thousand reasons why marrying the man I love would be stupid. We are now at a point in our lives where we are financially stable and are finally ready. When I told Mom, she called me selfish and said she won’t be there. I am heartbroken.

Am I a horrible person for marrying the man I love despite the fact that my family can’t accept his disability? They keep asking if I understand the responsibility that comes with being with a person in a wheelchair. I know I can’t change other people’s minds, but do people really think it’s bad for a walking person to marry a person in a wheelchair? — Engaged In Michigan Dear Engaged: You’re not a “horrible person,” and yes, some people do harbor this prejudice.

You appear to be a young woman with her head on straight, and I hope you won’t allow your mother’s refusal to attend your wedding to stand in the way of your happiness.

Dear Abby: I am a 25-year-old woman. My parents divorced when I was young. I kept in contact with my father until he dropped out of my life when I was around 11.

I came across Dad again on Facebook recently. He’s now in a domestic partnership with another man. It RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY wasn’t a shock because Mom had told me some time ago she had suspected he was gay.

What upset me were several posts he made about wanting a happy family with his partner. I know the family he made with Mom may not have been his ideal, but my sister and I ARE his family. I feel like we were tossed aside for this idea of a new family, which seems cold and callous.

I haven’t mentioned it to my sister because I think she’d find it upsetting.

I want to confront Dad, but also think it might be best to just leave it alone. Any advice? — Uncounted In California Dear Uncounted: I think you should contact your father, start a dialogue with him and ask why he dropped out of your life. His reason may be that he was made to feel that his presence in your life was unwelcome, or a fear that you would not be able to accept his sexual orientation.

It seems strange to me that he would leave his daughters behind for no reason. If you would like to re-establish a relationship, tell him so. He may need to hear it from you before he can move forward and reconnect with you and your sister.

A conventional option is a “Michaels” cue bid of two diamonds to show length in both majors, but most players use that bid to show a weak or very strong hand.

The art of the celebrity nonapology

By Emily Yahr The Washington Post

These days, it’s standard procedure when a celebrity lands a big profile in a magazine: The star says something that may be controversial. The quote is excerpted, analyzed and causes outrage. Then the celebrity apologizes. Or in most cases, “apologizes.”

That’s exactly what happened to Kaley CuocoSweeting, who has a big movie (“The Wedding Ringer”) opening this month and is the star of CBS’ hugely popular “The Big Bang Theory.” She sat for a cover story for Redbook magazine and gave some quotes about feminism that got some backlash. The result: She followed it up with, truly, one of the most incredible nonapologies we have ever seen, proving that celebrity apologies are a fine art.

During the interview, the mag asked if she considers herself a feminist.

Cuoco answered “Is it bad if I say no?” and continued: “Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened

INVISION

Ryan Sweeting and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting arrive at The People Magazine Awards at the Beverly Hilton hotel Dec. 18 in Beverly Hills, California.

before I was around ... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that’s because I’ve never really faced inequality.” And: “I cook for (my husband) Ryan five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that.

I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men.”

Naturally, her thoughts on feminism drew some harsh criticism and were picked up by tons of outlets. In response, in a predictable follow-up on New Year’s Day, Cuoco offered this statement on Instagram.

“In my Redbook article,

some people have taken offense to my comments regarding feminism — if any of you are In the ‘biz’ you are well aware of how words can be taken out of context. I’m completely blessed and grateful that strong women have paved the way for my success along with many others.

I apologize if anyone was offended. Anyone that truly knows me, knows my heart and knows what I meant.”

Again, it so deeply hits the nonapology trifecta that we must dissect it further. Breaking this down: 1. “Taken out of context.”

This is a classic celebrity move, blaming the media outlet — those media

outlets help fuel celebrity careers, of course — for not properly contextualizing her thoughts. Cuoco digs deeper with this point, adding that those in showbiz know what that’s like; presumably, something us mere mortals can’t understand.

2. “I apologize if anyone was offended.”

Celebrities aren’t the only ones that use this line, but it’s so predictable at this point that it’s almost comforting. Most importantly, it does not actually mean you’re sorry.

3. “Anyone that truly knows me.”

As we have explained in detail, this route is also popular because the star wants to reiterate that people that actually know her — and not the fans reading the magazine — understand the real meaning behind her words. So there’s no way they should make anyone upset.

Moral of the story here: It’s admirable to put in the effort for an impressive nonapology. But if it so clearly comes across that you don’t really mean it, it’s better to just say nothing at all.

’Sopranos’ strip club hit for 2nd time in 2 weeks LODI, N.J. — The New Jersey strip club that was the real-life stand-in for the Bada Bing on HBO’s “Sopranos” has been hit by criminals again.

Satin Dolls in Lodi was

robbed by two armed men a few days before Christmas. Now, police say someone broke into the club early Friday morning.

Police told The Record that the break-in occurred

between 2 and 5 a.m. The would-be thieves smashed through the club’s glass front door and pried open the office door to get to a safe but did not take anything.

The earlier robbery cost the club about $30,000.

The Bada Bing was seen frequently on the show, which ran on HBO from 1999 to 2007.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, Jan. 5, the fifth day of 2015. There are 360 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Jan. 5, 1925, Democrat Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming took office as America’s first female governor, succeeding her late husband, William, following a special election.

On this date: In 1781, a British naval expedition led by Benedict Arnold burned Richmond, Virginia.

In 1895, French Capt.

Alfred Dreyfus, convicted of treason, was publicly stripped of his rank. (He was ultimately vindicated.)

In 1905, the National Association of Audubon

Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals was incorporated in New York State.

In 1914, auto industrialist Henry Ford announced he was going to pay workers $5 for an 8-hour day, as opposed to $2.34 for a 9-hour day. (Employees still worked six days a week; the 5-day work week was instituted in 1926.)

In 1933, the 30th president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, died in Northampton, Massachusetts, at age 60.

Construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge. (Work was completed four years later.)

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Emotional pressure must be handled delicately. Keep a steady pace, combined with balance and commitment, to follow through with practical plans. Refuse to let the changes going on around you intimidate you or tempt you to jump into something that will cloud your vision and stifle the ambitions and plans you set out to achieve.

Your numbers are 2, 5, 13, 24, 33, 36, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use intelligence, innovation and energy to attract favors as well as the support you need to reach goals. Progress will be yours if you remain goal-oriented and strive for commitment in your personal life. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Listen carefully to the information offered and determine whether or not you are in a position to take advantage. A practical approach will far exceed the outcome of a well-meaning mistake based on poor information. ���� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can raise your status, reputation and appeal if you are responsible and see matters through to the end.

Joyner picks the Huskies Marysville Pilchuck’s Joyner verbally commits to UW

By David Krueger Herald Writer

Austin Joyner’s college commitment has come full circle: he’s going to be a Husky.

Joyner, who committed — and subsequently decommitted — from both the University of Washington and Washington State during his recruitment, recommitted to the University of Washington during the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl Sunday night.

Joyner chose a UW hat from a bag and placed it on his head as he made the announcement.

“I’m taking my talents to the Huskies,” Joyner said on the broadcast. “Go Dawgs.”

Joyner originally committed to Washington on Nov. 19, 2013, but decommitted a few weeks later when former head coach Steve Sarkisian departed for USC and Chris Petersen took over the Huskies. In mid-April 2014, Joyner committed to WSU, but once again reopened his commitment on Dec. 2 after the Cougars fired defensive coordinator Mike Breske, who had been one of Joyner’s main recruiters.

This time, the senior is hoping the commitment sticks.

“It’s close to home, my family can come out and watch me, everybody I grew up with can support me still — it’s 40 minutes away from where I live,” Joyner said in an interview on television.

“It’s just nice. Everything about it.”

Joyner verbally committed during the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl in Carson, California. Joyner was selected to play on the West team in the game, which honors some of the top high school players in the nation. Joyner’s West squad fell to See JOYNER, Page C2

Bring on the Panthers — again Seahawks to play Carolina in NFC playoff game Saturday in Seattle

By Gregg Bell

INSIDE

The News Tribune

The team against which Russell Wilson issued a season-altering proclamation nearly three months ago is the one the Seattle Seahawks will play to begin their NFL playoffs.

NFC West-champion Seattle (124) will host a familiar opponent in the NFC South-champion Carolina Panthers (8-8-1) at 5:15 p.m. on

Saturday in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.

Dallas’ rally from a 20-7 deficit in the second half to beat Detroit on Sunday — with the mammoth help of a pass-interference flag against the Cowboys that officials picked up and waved off — ensured the second meeting this season between Seattle and Carolina.

“At the end of the day it doesn’t matter who we play,” Seahawks leading wide receiver Doug

Baldwin said before he found out Saturday’s foe. “It’s about us in this locker room. That’s really what it comes down to.”

Third-seeded Dallas is at secondseeded Green Bay on Sunday in the other conference semifinal game.

Carolina — once considered buried after going 62 days between wins earlier this season — won its fifth consecutive game on Saturday with a 27-14 win over Arizona at home in the wild-card round.

The Panthers held the Cardinals and third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley to 78 total yards, the lowest total for an offense in NFL postseason history.

This will be the fifth time in five seasons the Seahawks and Panthers have played. Three of the other four times were in Charlotte, North Carolina. Seattle has beaten Carolina in each of the last three See SEAHAWKS, Page C4

BERKELEY, Calif. — Jordan Railey believes Washington State’s ball movement on offense is finally coming together after two months of sporadic outings.

The Cougars finally have a road win in the Pac-12 — their first in nearly two years — to prove it.

Railey scored a career-high 17 points, Josh Hawkinson had 18 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth straight double-double and Washington State beat California 69-66 on Sunday.

“It’s become like a flow and it’s really fun to play in,” Railey said. “When I catch the ball in the post, they’re not standing around. They’re moving and I’m hitting guys on the perimeter for wide open jump shots. It’s just really coming along.”

Ike Iroegbu added 12 points including four free throws over the final 36 seconds for the Cougars (7-7, 1-1), who won despite missing nine of their final 12 shots.

First-year coach Ernie Kent’s team had not won a road game all season and had not won a conference road game since beating Oregon State in Corvallis on Jan. 26, 2013 — a stretch of 15 games.

The Cougars ended both streaks with a stiff defense that held the Golden Bears (11-4, 1-1) without a basket for more than eight minutes late in the second half.

game, but weren’t able to pull it out.”

The Huskies fall to 11-3 and 0-2 in Pac-12 play, heading home for a Saturday matchup with Washington State — the Cougars, by the way, won at California on Sunday — riding a three-game losing streak after a disappointing sweep here in the Bay Area.

But they had a chance to at least salvage a split. WilliamsGoss went to the free-throw line for a 1-and-1 with 13.4 seconds left. Stanford guard Anthony Brown had just made two free throws for Stanford to cut UW’s lead to 56-54.

A made pair by Williams-Goss would have pushed UW’s lead to four points. But he missed the front-end of the 1-and-1, and the Cardinal rebounded. Stanford called timeout with 7.9 seconds left, and designed a play for its leading scorer, Randle, to drive to the basket. He did, past 7-foot center Robert Upshaw, and laid the ball off the glass and through the net to tie the score with 2.2 seconds to play.

That sent it to overtime, where Stanford scored the first four points and Washington scored four points, total. The Huskies committed five turnovers in the final five minutes.

the East 24-3, with Joyner making several tackles on defense.

“I know he was really looking forward to this and getting to compete against some of the best in the nation — with himself being among the best in the nation,” said Marysville Pilchuck head coach Brandon Carson via phone from the Semper Fidelis Bowl. “He did a great job playing corner.”

Washington, along with Washington State and Boise State, were the final three schools Joyner was considering. Verbal commitments are

Washington State center Jordan Railey (center) shoots over California forwards Christian Behrens (left) and David Kravish during the second half of a game on Sunday. Washington State won 69-66.

“To be on the road and have the first Pac-12 win in conference on the road is huge,” Kent said. “You’re getting an opportunity to see some players growing up in front of your eyes.”

Washington State had lost three straight to Cal and had not won in Haas Pavilion since 2008 before stunning the Bears in front of their home crowd.

It wasn’t easy.

The Cougars led by nine with seven minutes left then had to hold off a late charge.

“They didn’t go away,” Railey said. “But we persevered.”

Jordan Mathews missed a potential tying 3-pointer at the buzzer for Cal. DaVonte Lacy added 14 points and made five free throws in the final 19 seconds to help

Upshaw said. “They made some big shots, got to the freethrow line and made the shots when they needed them. We couldn’t make shots.”

Curiously, Romar chose to play Jernard Jarreau instead of Shawn Kemp Jr. down the stretch, despite the fact that Kemp led UW with 19 points.

That decision was made, Romar said, because of Jarreau’s defensive versatility.

But the Huskies were at their best with Kemp in the game, particularly in the first six minutes, when he gathered strong position beneath the basket and used it to score 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

Stanford had little solution to the problems Kemp posed, and the Huskies led, 21-11, after Upshaw’s easy two-point basket with 11:39 to play.

Then Kemp moved over to help Upshaw defend a drive by Rosco Allen when he probably

didn’t need to. Upshaw put his hand on the ball, but Kemp fouled Allen as he shot, and the 6-foot-9 big man went to the bench with 13:25 to go in the first half.

He didn’t return until the second.

Neither did Jarreau, after the 6-foot-10 junior picked up three fouls in just under 12 minutes, and spent the final 9:01 of the first half on the bench. He picked up his fourth foul just 37 seconds into the second half, and sat some more.

When Kemp came back, he continued scoring. After he picked up his third foul with 18:13 remaining, Romar left him in the game, and the decision paid off – Kemp shot 3-of-4 from the field in the second half, and at one point scored seven consecutive points to give UW a 39-37 lead with 12:09 to play.

Andrew Andrews added 13 points and Upshaw had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Huskies squandered their opportunity to claim an ugly victory, and instead left after 45 minutes of game time with an uglier loss.

“It’s going to show who has the character, who has the fight, who on this team is really going to stick together,” Upshaw said.

“Are we going to stick together through these tough times and get over it? Because we’re a better basketball team than we’ve been in these last three games. But we have to go out here and show it.”

non-binding. An athlete cannot sign a letter of intent until February of his senior year.

“I would’ve been happy for him with any school he went to,” Carson said. “I said this way back when: ‘Whoever gets him is going to be happy.’ I’m glad he’s going to stay close and I can watch him in person a few times.”

As a senior, the 5-foot-10, 186-pound Joyner ran for 1,768 yards and 32 touchdowns on 133 carries. He was named the Gatorade Washington Player of the Year, selected as The Herald Offensive Player of the Year for two consecutive seasons and helped lead the Tomahawks to the semifinals of the 3A state tournament in his final season at Marysville

Pilchuck.

Joyner, a four-star recruit, is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in Washington and No. 29 in the nation by Scout.com and is the No. 1 recruit in Washington state according to ESPN. com. He’s the No. 9 cornerback according to Rivals.com.

Carson said Joyner is the type of player who could be an impact player for the Huskies as soon as he gets to Montlake.

“I’m sure the coaches have plans for if he could compete right away. Of course I’m biased, but I think he can contribute in one way, shape or form next year,” Carson said. “I think he’s darn good and super competitive.

“I think the sky is the limit for him at U-Dub.”

Next game: Washington St. Noon, Sat., Jan. 10

Washington State overcome its own offensive struggles down the stretch.

Jordan Mathews had 24 points for the Bears while Tyrone Wallace scored 16 with six assists.

Cal, which stunned No. 21 Washington in the conference opener on Friday, led midway through the first half but fell behind at the half and couldn’t recover.

“They have more perimeter guys that can spot up and shoot the ball,” Bears coach Cuonzo Martin said. “I didn’t think we did a great job of defending the post in certain situations.”

Railey, who missed four of his first five shots, got Washington State going with a short hook shot to pull the Cougars within 18-17. Hawkinson and Brett Boese followed with long jumpers to put the Cougars in front.

Following a pair of free throws

by Wallace, Railey scored on a three-point play.

Cal made only one basket over the final nine minutes of the half, went scoreless for 5:34 during one stretch and was held to 20 points or fewer in the first half for the third time in four games.

No. 10 Utah hammers UCLA 71-39 Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Delon Wright had 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals to lead a balanced offense for No. 10 Utah in a 71-39 rout of UCLA on Sunday.

Jakob Poeltl had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Utes (12-2, 2-0 Pac-12), who beat the Bruins in Salt Lake City for the second straight season.

Tony Parker scored 12 points to lead UCLA, who lost its fifth straight. The Bruins (8-7, 0-2 Pac12) trailed from start to finish.

The Bruins shot just 29 percent from the field and were 1 of 11 from 3-point range.

Utah’s speed and efficient shooting overwhelmed UCLA right from the start. Then the Utes’ defense finished off the Bruins, who had a long scoring drought in each half.

Colorado 86, USC 65 BOULDER, Colo. — Askia Booker scored 18 points, Dustin Thomas added a career-high 17 and Colorado beat USC for its sixth straight win over the Trojans.

The Buffaloes (9-5, 2-0) used a 14-0 run late in the first half to break open a tight game. They never gave the Trojans (8-6, 0-2) a chance at a comeback as they hit four straight 3-pointers to start the second half.

Nikola Jovanovic led USC with 14 points, while Julian Jacobs added 11.

The Trojans went on a 7-0 run midway through the final half, but that spurt was ended when Booker lobbed a pass to Jaron Hopkins, who dunked it over two USC defenders and re-energized the crowd.

No. 8 Arizona 73, Arizona St. 49 TUCSON, Ariz. — Rondae HollisJefferson had 13 points and eight rebounds, and No. 8 Arizona opened the Pac-12 season with a win.

Arizona (12-1, 1-0) was sharp after an extended break, dominating Arizona State at both ends to quickly turn its rivalry game into a runaway.

The Wildcats took control with a big early run while building a 20-point halftime lead and kept the pressure up to get their conference season off to a rousing start.

Arizona had a rare good night from the free-throw line, making 16 of 19, and shot 51 percent despite a sloppy second half. Brandon Ashley and Stanley Johnson scored 13 points each.

Arizona State (8-6, 0-1) beat thenNo. 2 Arizona in Tempe last season, but had no chance at repeating the upset after finishing with more turnovers (22) than field goals (14).

ESPN’s Scott dies of cancer at 49

Seahawks From Page C1

By Rick Freeman Associated Press

Stuart Scott was in his element, working a “Monday Night Football” game, when he was forced to leave for an appendix operation.

Doctors discovered a tumor during surgery and Scott was diagnosed with cancer. But he made a point of continuing to live his life — at work and outside of it.

“You beat cancer by how you live,” he would later say. “So live.

Live. Fight like hell.”

That fight ended Sunday when Scott, the longtime “SportsCenter” anchor and ESPN personality known for his enthusiasm and ubiquity, died at age 49.

Scott remained dedicated to his craft even as he suffered through chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

ESPN President John Skipper said in a statement that Scott was “a true friend and a uniquely inspirational figure” and that his “energetic and unwavering devotion to his family and to his work while fighting the battle of his life left us in awe, and he leaves a void that can never be replaced.”

Skipper also marveled at Scott’s dedication to keep fighting — literally.

“Who engages in mixed martial arts training in the midst of chemotherapy treatments?” Skipper said. “Who leaves a hospital procedure to return to the set?”

Fans and players at games around the United States on Sunday stopped to observe moments of silence, including at the Bengals-Colts NFL playoff game in Indianapolis, Lions-Cowboys in Arlington, Texas; the MavericksCavaliers NBA game in Cleveland and at several college basketball games.

Some of the world’s most famous athletes expressed their grief online. LeBron James wrote on Instagram: “Thank you so much for being u and giving us inner city kids someone we could relate to that wasn’t a player but was close enough to them.”

“Stuart wasn’t covering heroes & champions, it was the other way around,” Tiger Woods said on Twitter.

In July, Scott accepted the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPYs. During his speech, he told his teenage daughters: “Taelor and Sydni, I love you guys more than I will ever be able to express. You two are my heartbeat. I am standing on this stage here tonight because of you.”

Scott is also survived by his parents, O. Ray and Jacqueline Scott; siblings Stephen Scott, Synthia Kearney and Susan Scott; his daughters Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15; and girlfriend Kristin Spodobalski.

On Sunday morning, NFL Network broadcaster Rich Eisen’s voice broke as he reported the death of his good friend, with whom he worked on “SportsCenter” broadcasts.

“I love this man,” Eisen said.

ESPN anchor Hannah Storm called him “our colleague, our friend and our inspiration” as she reported the news. On the network’s NFL pregame show, Chris Berman said, “Stuart made ESPN what it is, he made us better people.”

Before North Carolina’s women’s basketball team tipped off against N.C. State, the arena observed a moment of silence for Scott, and the videoboard proclaimed the 1987 graduate “Forever a Tar Heel.”

Born in Chicago, Scott attended high school in North Carolina before going to UNC. He returned to Chapel Hill as the university’s commencement speaker in 2001.

Scott worked at three TV stations in the southern U.S. before joining ESPN for the 1993 launch of its ESPN2 network, hosting short sports update segments.

He often anchored the 11 p.m.

“SportsCenter,” where he would punctuate highlights with an emphatic “Boo-ya!” or note a slick move as being “as cool as the other side of the pillow.”

Scott went on to cover countless major events for the network, including the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series and NCAA basketball tournament. He also interviewed President Barack Obama, joining him for a televised game of one on one.

Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens (59) breaks up a pass intended for Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew (87) during the fourth quarter. A flag was thrown on the play and Hitchens was called for pass interference. But the flag was picked up and the officials ruled there was no penalty on the play.

Cowboys escape from Lions

By Dave Birkett Detroit Free Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Not good enough.

That’s how Jim Caldwell described the explanation he got for why a fourth-quarter pass-interference flag was mysteriously picked up Sunday, and it’s a fitting reason why the Detroit Lions’ once-promising season fizzled in a cloud of Texas smoke, too.

The Lions committed countless fourth-quarter mistakes, from Sam Martin’s shanked punt to Jeremy Ross’ dribbler of a kick return to a pair of late defensive holding calls, that doomed them to a 24-20 wildcard loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

But while Tony Romo threw for 293 yards and Terrance Williams caught the game-winning 8-yard touchdown pass with 2:32 to play to rally the Cowboys from a 13-point third-quarter deficit, everyone in the Lions locker room was left searching for answers for the pass-interference call that wasn’t.

“It was ridiculous. Ridiculous,” Lions safety James Ihedigbo said. “You’re talking about the playoffs, where guys are putting everything they have into it and you make a call like that, which was the correct call, and then you look at the replay and pick it up. For them to make the call, mark off the yards and then come back and change the call, it’s ridiculous.”

The questionable play came with just over eight minutes to play in the fourth quarter and the Lions driving near midfield with a 20-17 lead.

Matthew Stafford threw a third-down pass to

Brandon Pettigrew down the Cowboys sideline, and linebacker Anthony Hitchens, who was faceguarding Pettigrew, was whistled for pass interference on the play.

Referee Pete Morelli announced the penalty and marked the penalty off, then said the flag was picked up.

Asked what explanation Morelli gave him for why the call was reversed, Caldwell said, “Not a good enough one.”

“I don’t ever think it really comes down to one call, but calls are crucial during games like this and everything’s so tight and everything’s on the line, a team’s playing so hard, to have something that’s so questionable that occurs, that’s concerning,” Caldwell said.

Morelli, in a pool report, said back judge Lee Dyer called the original pass-interference penalty only to have head linesman Jerry Bergman say “the contact was minimal and didn’t warrant pass interference.”

“The better view was from the head linesman,” Morelli said.

The Lions, who scored the game’s first 14 points and led 20-7 after Matt Prater’s thirdquarter field goal, fell apart after the call.

Martin shanked a punt 10 yards on fourth down, and Romo answered with an 11-play, 59-yard drive to give the Cowboys the lead.

Jason Witten beat Ihedigbo for a 21-yard gain on fourthand-6 on the drive. Don Carey, one of several Lions defenders who was in and out of the lineup in the third quarter because of injuries or dehydration, was called for defensive holding two plays later. And

DeAndre Levy was called for holding on third-and-7 when he tackled a Cowboys running back coming out of the backfield on a pass play.

Romo bought time on thirdand-goal at the 8, and Williams cut short a crossing route and reversed field to get separation from Carey for the go-ahead score.

“We started well, we were able to put some points on the board but then we let a couple big plays get out and they kept kind of inching closer and closer and we just couldn’t hold them at bay,” Caldwell said. “A few too many mistakes.”

The Lions had a chance to win on a wild final drive after Riley Reiff recovered a fumble by Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence as he tried to return a fumble that Matthew Stafford on a sack.

But Lawrence atoned for his play with another sack-fumble on Stafford on fourth-and-3 to end the game.

The Lions finished 11-5 in the regular season, their best record since 1991, but they still haven’t won a playoff game since that year.

Romo completed 19 of 31 passes for the Cowboys in the win, and DeMarco Murray, the NFL’s leading rusher, finished with 75 yards on 19 carries and scored on a 1-yard fourth-down run in the third quarter.

Stafford, now 0-2 in the playoffs, completed 28 of 42 passes for 323 yards for the Lions. He lost two fumbles and threw one interception that was tipped at the line of scrimmage, all in the second half.

The Cowboys play the Green Bay Packers in a divisionalround playoff game next week at Lambeau Field.

regular season games, in defensive and mistake-filled slogs with final scores of 16-12, 12-7 and 13-9.

The last of those Seahawks escapes was in Week 8 of this season, Oct. 26 in Charlotte. The Seahawks’ defense of their Super Bowl title seemed teetering. They were 3-3 and trailed the Panthers 9-6 with less than five minutes to play in that game, having turned the ball over twice.

That’s when Wilson entered the huddle and told his teammates “There is no doubt. There is no doubt.”

Wilson ran for 21 yards and completed all four of his passes for 53 yards on the ensuing drive; it was the only time he completed four in a row that day. His 23-yard touchdown pass to tight end Luke Willson with 47 seconds to play rallied the Seahawks to the 13-9 victory that ended Seattle’s twogame losing streak — and turned around its season.

It was the first of nine wins in 10 games the Seahawks are carrying into Saturday night.

The Panthers gained 114 yards rushing in October against a Seattle defense that was missing injured All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and had Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor dragging a bad hip, sore groin and bone spurs in both ankles around Bank of America Field 21⁄2 months ago. Since Wagner returned from an injured foot six games ago, Seattle is 6-0 while allowing 6.5 points and 202.1 yards per game.

The Panthers have also been winning with defense, their foundation for years. They have allowed 11.8 points per game in beating the Saints, Buccaneers, Browns, Falcons and Cardinals.

Carolina’s 34-3 win at Atlanta two weeks ago in the regular-season finale made the Panthers the second team in league history to win a division with a losing record.

The first was the 2010 Seahawks, who went 7-9 yet won the NFC West.

Panthers dual-threat quarterback Cam Newton has completed 59.8 percent of his throws with seven touchdown passes and two interceptions while winning his last four starts. Newton’s also been averaging 58 yards rushing per game with three scores on the ground in his last four games, all Panthers wins. But he is 0-3 with a 54-percent completion rate and only one touchdown in three career games against Seattle.

The Seahawks are 5-2 all-time against Carolina. That includes their only previous meeting in the postseason. On Jan. 22, 2006, the Seahawks beat Carolina 34-14 in Seattle to win the NFC championship and advance to their first Super Bowl.

While many Seahawks fans were missing their team playing over this past weekend, the players sure didn’t mind being off Friday through Sunday while on their bye from the first round of the playoffs. It was their first weekend off since the last full week of September when the NFL gave the Seahawks the league’s earliest regular-season bye following the third game.

Wilson said this past weekend was like winning a playoff game without having to play.

Linebacker Bruce Irvin responded to a Seahawks fan tweeting Sunday “The twelves ARE ready...a week off with no Seahawks ball is miserable!!” with a tweet of his own. “lol,” Irvin tweeted, “but our bodies appreciated it!”

Luck throws 2 TD passes in Colts’ 26-10 victory over Bengals

By Michael Marot Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — When Andrew Luck was under pressure Sunday, he stood tall and maintained his poise.

Andy Dalton and the Bengals simply collapsed. Again.

Luck delivered a game-changing touchdown pass as he was headed to the turf, and Indianapolis’ defense dominated the rest of the game as the Colts roared past Cincinnati 26-10 and into the divisional playoff round.

“The one magical play was when Andrew was at his finest,” said Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, whose team heads to Denver next Sunday. “He’s a maestro. He’s unbelievable back there.”

For Cincinnati, a bedeviling postseason curse continued.

The Bengals (10-6-1) became the first team in NFL history to lose four consecutive opening-round games. Dalton tied Warren Moon for the most consecutive opening-round playoff losses by a quarterback, dropping to 0-4 all-time.

Coach Marvin Lewis tied Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and Steven Owen for most consecutive playoff losses (six) by a coach. Lewis also tied Mora, the former Colts coach, for most consecutive playoff losses to start a career, and tied Owen for most consecutive playoff losses with one team.

They haven’t won a playoff game since January 1991.

“It’s kind of like missing a field goal that you should have hit,” Cincinnati kicker Mike Nugent said after setting a franchise

record late in the first half with a 57-yard field goal that got the Bengals within 13-10.

But the glaring difference between the postseason success for Luck and the Colts (12-5), and the postseason failures for Dalton and the Bengals was never more apparent than on two big plays in the third quarter.

On second-and-10 from the Bengals 36, Luck floated a perfect pass to the corner of the end zone as Carlos Dunlap started to take him to the turf.

Rookie receiver Donte Moncrief sprinted across the field and cradled the ball for the score that gave Indy a 20-10 lead.

“I sort of stepped up in a crease there, saw Donte running his butt off and tried to put it in a spot where only he could get it,” Luck said. “He does such a great

job of running underneath those balls and we had the touch.”

On the next Bengals play, Dalton had Brandon Tate open deep down the middle on a flea-flicker.

But Colts cornerback Greg Toler raced over and broke up the underthrown pass. Three plays later, the Bengals punted. They never seriously challenged again.

“I thought he (Dalton) hung in there,” Lewis said. “I thought he made plays with his feet. I thought he made plays throwing the football, and I thought he played a good football game.”

Dalton, whose two top receivers were inactive — A.J. Green (concussion) and Jermaine Gresham (back) — finished 18 of 35 with 155 yards and lost a fumble on a day the Bengals managed only 98 total yards and five first downs in the second half.

NW Dental Services knows dentures

I

t is said that all the statistics in the world can’t measure the warmth of a smile.

With that in mind, who would want to spend a day without sharing a smile?

Certainly not Eric Hansen, a licensed denturist whose goal in life is to keep grins growing and teeth shining bright.

At NW Dental Services in Everett, Hansen belongs to a team of denturists, dentists and hygienists that provides services ranging from teeth cleanings and fillings to crowns and restorations.

Particular to his field, patients have access to free consultations regarding the denture process along with customized care for full and partial dentures, repairs and dental implants.

Because Hansen and his colleagues make dentures onsite, one particular denture service is especially sought after by people suffering from poor teeth: immediate dentures.

“There are people out there with bad teeth who are afraid to consider dentures because they don’t want to go through a waiting period without any teeth,” Hansen explained.

“With our immediate dentures process, they never have to go without a smile.”

After an examination to determine if dentures are the best option for the patient, a treatment plan is set in place.

The newly-made dentures are immediately put in and act as a bandage over the fresh extraction sites. The patient is instructed to wear the dentures for 24 hours, after which adjustments can be made.

A week later, after swelling has reduced and the bone begins to change, a soft, cushioned liner is added to tighten the denture to the gums.

“We’ll do that every month or so whenever the denture gets loose,” he said, noting that the cost of the liners is included in the initial cost of the dentures.

He also notes people who get immediate dentures wear the dentures much more successfully than people who become accustomed to not having teeth for a few days.

“We help each patient through the adjustment period and let them know what to expect because this new type of teeth takes some getting used to,” he said.

“It can be a challenge to learn how to chew, but people do it,” he added.

Whether you are brand new to wearing dentures or have worn them for several years, Hansen emphasizes the importance of denture checkups and maintenance.

With any denture — regardless of its age or composition materials — a reline is routinely needed due to shrinkage of the

Farzad Khalili, L.D., readies a denture model for wax try-in to check the patient's bite and appearance before manufacturing the actual denture.

The extraction process takes place across two appointments.

At the first appointment, only the back teeth are extracted and impres-

sions for the dentures are made.

As the dentures are constructed, patients work directly with the licensed denturist to ensure the

perfect look and fit.

Once the dentures are complete, the patient returns to the office for the remaining teeth to be extracted.

Just for the fun of it...

gums and changes due to age and weight loss.

During the reline, a material is placed in the denture to strengthen and improve the overall fit.

A reline is approximately $350 and can be completed in one day at the NW Dental Services onsite lab.

In time, your dentures will need to be replaced.

“There is a huge misconception that the bones in our mouth stay the same,” Hansen said. “It just floors people who have worn dentures for 40 years that their dentures really should be replaced every few years because of the changes that take place in bone structure.”

Hard composite dentures that have been well-maintained and relined periodically typically need to be replaced every 15 years; hardened acrylic dentures, seven to 10 years.

If your dentures were made back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s, there’s a chance they are made of porcelain, something no longer used in dentures because its lack of shock absorption accelerates bone loss, especially in the lower jaw.
