Alcohol linked to crash that killed 4 Two teen girls were among the victims when a Tulalip man who police say was drunk lost control of his truck, which ended up a hatchery pond. By Rikki King Herald Writer

TULALIP — A 21-year-old Tulalip man was drunk in August when he drove his truck over a concrete barrier and into a pond, killing himself and three other young people, investigators

have concluded. The 1997 Dodge Ram had a lift kit and oversized tires that were nearly 3 feet tall. The truck went over a concrete barrier that was less than 11 inches tall. Tyson Walker, 21, lost control in a downhill curve. He hit the barrier and knocked down a

chain-link fence. The tires rolled over the barrier, and gravity likely tipped the truck into the hatchery pond along Totem Beach Road, detectives found. In the water, the sinking truck became enmeshed in salmon netting designed to protect the fish from birds. A man saw the truck upside down in the water around 3 a.m. and called police. Investigators do not believe that speed was a factor, according to a report by George Metcalf,

a collision detective with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. “The cause of this collision was most likely due to alcohol intoxication,” Metcalf wrote. Metcalf’s report was obtained by The Daily Herald under state public records laws. It took the sheriff’s office nearly two months since the Oct. 2 request to provide the seven-page document. After the Aug. 18 collision, police would not say who had been driving. Also killed were Ariela Vendiola, 15, of Marysville;

Lynnwood is studying code changes that would allow food trucks By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Food trucks could be coming to Lynnwood. The City Council recently signed off on staff drawing up some new rules for review. The current codes don’t mention food trucks. In the past, operators have obtained permits for special events, mostly in public parks, city spokeswoman Julie Moore said. People have been saying they want to see more food trucks in Lynnwood, said Paul Krauss, the city’s community development director. Cities around Snohomish County have varying rules for food trucks, though some are in the same situation as Lynnwood, without specifics. Snohomish is exploring the idea of allowing

more food trucks, and there are plans for a food truck court in the Machias area north of Snohomish. A successful food truck can bring in as much as $50,000 a year, according to a Lynnwood City Council memo. In 2014, the city of Portland, Oregon, approved more than 800 food truck permits. That city’s downtown has a food truck court that stretches several blocks. New rules for Lynnwood could promote small businesses, increase ethnic food options and help struggling commercial areas, according to the council memo. City staff have been talking about the idea for years, Krauss said. Food truck courts can reinvent areas that look deserted, and be a fun place to hang out at night. “They get more street life,

more good street life, activity on the street that benefits other businesses,” he said. The mayor’s office held a breakfast recently for the Hispanic community. “I was approached by several people after that meeting who asked, ‘When are we going to be able to make progress on food trucks?’ ” Krauss said. “One of Lynnwood’s strengths is we’re a culturally diverse community.” What’s undecided is whether to allow the trucks on private property, in public parking spaces, or both. Any zoning likely will fall within the City Center area, near where 196th Street SW meets I-5. “We’re not talking about 196th Street,” Krauss said. “We’re talking about the side streets.” The planning commission hopes to bring the issue back to

council in March or April. “We could well have the possibility of food trucks in spring and summer. We’ll see what the market is,” he said. Many local cities that allow the trucks require a business license and multiple permits, with bans on overnight parking. There is additional oversight from the Snohomish Health District and the state Department of Labor and Industries. The health district, which serves all of the county, has approved 58 annual permits and 128 temporary permits for food trucks in 2015, spokeswoman Heather Thomas said. The numbers have been fairly steady in recent years. In Everett, a food truck owner needs permission from the

ARLINGTON — Officials have finished putting together a longterm plan to boost businesses and quality of life in the Stillaguamish Valley after the 2014 Oso mudslide. Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin are scheduled to present the North Stillaguamish Valley Economic Redevelopment Plan to the Puget Sound Regional Council on Thursday. Economic Alliance Snohomish County received a $150,000 federal grant and $50,000 from state and local partners in August 2014 to start the plan, which they finished in October. The goal is to help communities in the valley, from Arlington east to Darrington, recover. The mudslide killed 43 people. It also destroyed 36 homes and buried a stretch of Highway 530, cutting Darrington off from the rest of Snohomish County. Early estimates of the cost of recovery efforts total $65 million, according to the plan. A group of elected leaders and county staff worked with representatives from Washington State University and Workforce Snohomish to brainstorm ideas for the plan, which was written by Economic Alliance Snohomish County and contractor Community Attributes Inc. They hosted public forums, interviewed

White House decor: Snow people, snowflakes By Darlene Superville Associated Press

WASHINGTON — New at the White House this holiday season: penguins, snowmen and snow women, and hanging snowflakes. Returning this season: larger-than-life replicas of dogs Bo and Sunny, an 18 ½ -foot Blue Room tree dedicated to military families, and a gingerbread White House — covered in dark chocolate, instead of white chocolate as in years past, and weighing in at nearly 500 pounds. President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, expect to welcome more than 68,000 guests in the weeks before Christmas. They’ll be greeted at the East Wing entrance by a family of plywood penguins before walking down

police chief to operate, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said. The trucks are mostly banned in the blocks around Xfinity Arena, at least from on-street parking. They’re also not allowed within 250 feet of any Everett restaurant, unless the other business gives written permission. They can’t set up shop in one place for long without a special permit. The rules last were changed in 2003, around the time the new arena was going to open, and traffic was a concern, documents show. In Snohomish, there isn’t a specific policy for food trucks. However, other rules — including a ban on parking along a

street to hawk goods — effectively prohibit them except for special events, Planning Director Owen Dennison said. Coffee stands and construction trailers have similar restrictions, designed to mitigate waste, traffic problems and complaints about hours of operation. The Snohomish City Council in September expressed interest in new codes for food trucks, though another discussion hasn’t been scheduled, Dennison said. Meanwhile, Sultan welcomes food trucks and has seen a few visit in recent years, Permit Assistant Cyd Sparks said. Multiple people have asked about the city hosting food truck rodeos. “That would be having 10

or so trucks come in for a day or weekend and sell food,” she said. On the Tulalip Indian Reservation, a popular taco truck can be found near the intersection of Marine Drive NE and 27th Avenue NE. However, the strict rules within the Quil Ceda Village retail area to the east show just how complicated the issue can prove. In the village, food trucks are not allowed unless the owner already has a business in the village, most of the food preparation is done in the primary business, and sales are conducted on their leased property, tribal officials said. Another fun fact: Under health district rules, the trucks can’t cook any pieces of meat thicker than an inch.

Obama said celebrating the start of the season with military families is an important part of her family’s White House tradition. “We do this because of everything that you all do every day to make our country great,” she said. Obama and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, started a nationwide campaign in 2011 to generate more public support for active-duty and retired service members and their families.

Its decorations were inspired by the stars and stripes of the U.S. flag. Each family will receive their portion of the ribbon after the holidays as a keepsake. Some 55,000 feet of black yarn was knitted into 7,000 pom-poms that were used to make the Bo and Sunny replicas. Nearly 90 volunteers from across the country spent from the day after Thanksgiving through early this week decorating the building. Among them was first-time volunteer Cheryl Forbes, who said she was surprised to end up working in the Oval Office.

Three years in prison for Everett crash Pedro Crenshaw is sentenced for the 2013 crash that disfigured Juan Quintanilla, his passenger and friend. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — She prays that strangers will stop staring at her husband’s face, or at least one day Juan Quintanilla’s confidence will return and the staring won’t hurt so much.

Quintanilla’s wife patted his hand Tuesday afternoon as they waited for the man responsible for disfiguring Quintanilla to be sentenced. Last month, a jury convicted Pedro Crenshaw, 33, of vehicular assault and two hit-and-run crimes. He’d already pleaded

guilty before trial to driving with a suspended license. Jurors were convinced that Crenshaw was intoxicated when he crashed his car on Lowell-Larimer Road in 2013. Three hours after the crash, his blood alcohol level was .089. He was driving more than 100 mph seconds before losing control of his car. The Cadillac plowed through a chicken wire fence topped with 2x4 boards. Boards crashed

through the windshield. Quintanilla, a passenger, was struck in the face. “You nearly killed your friend. You literally smashed half his face off,” Snohomish County Superior Court Judge George Appel said. Quintanilla spent six weeks at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in addition to severe facial wounds. He hasn’t been able to return to work.

The jury found that the crash was particularly egregious because of Quintanilla’s injuries. That opened the door for Appel to go beyond the one-year maximum set by the state’s sentencing guidelines. He sentenced Crenshaw to three years behind bars. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Toni Montgomery asked for five years and See CRASH, Page A4

Starting small in computer science In Marysville, even kindergartners are getting chance to create code By Phuong Le Associated Press

MARYSVILLE — Moving her finger over the laptop trackpad, 6-year-old Lauren Meek drags and drops a block of code to build a set of instructions. She clicks the “run” button and watches as the character moves through a maze. She then pumps her fist in excitement. “Yes! This is so easy,” says Meek, a kindergartener at Marshall Elementary. This fall, most elementary school students in the Marysville School District are getting 40-minute weekly computer science lessons as part of their core instruction — part of a growing effort nationwide to expose more public school children to computer science, even as early as in kindergarten. Backed by technology leaders, nonprofits and companies, schools in New York,

Kindergarten and second-grade students work together on programming during their computer science lesson at Marshall Elementary School on Nov. 4.

San Francisco and other cities have committed to offer computer science to students in all grade levels. Chicago also says computer science will eventually become a high school requirement. Supporters say it’s not just

about learning how to code, but learning how computers work. They say computer science teaches kids to think logically, be creative and exposes them early to the technology that will drive their future. “In the 21st century, computer

science is just as foundational as biology, chemistry,” said Hadi Partovi, founder and CEO of Code.org, a Seattle-based national nonprofit that works to expand access to computer science and increase participation by women and minorities. The group is also behind a campaign to get millions of students to participate in an “Hour of Code,” which takes place next week. Bringing computer science into the schools ensures that everyone has an opportunity to become digitally literate, said Yasmin Kafai, a professor of learning sciences at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. “We’re not talking about turning everybody into a computer programmer or computer scientist,” said Kafai. “It’s a basic literacy.”

OAK HARBOR — One of the suspects in the Nov. 10 shooting of an Oak Harbor teenager allegedly borrowed a gun from a friend the day before. The new detail about the case was contained in a supplemental police report that was introduced at a hearing in Island County Superior Court on Monday. Derek Reeder, 16, Kitana Hernandez, 19, Brian Rayford, 20, and David Nunez Jr., 19, pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder with a special firearms allegation and conspiracy to commit firstdegree murder. Prosecutors allege that John “Jay” Johnson, 17, was shot to death allegedly because Nunez was upset with him over a $400 impound fee. The four suspects drove to Johnson’s house on the night of Nov. 10. Rayford and Reeder walked together to his door and Rayford shot Johnson in the head, according to the police report. A family friend found Johnson hours later. He never regained consciousness and died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The supplemental report, written by detective Ed Wallace of the Island County Sheriff’s Office, was based on a string of text messages he found on Nunez’s cell phone. Nunez texted the other man Nov. 9, writing that someone was “out to get him” and he needed “a toolie,” which Wallace identifies as a slang term for a gun. The detective tracked down the other man, who admitted to providing Nunez with “a black Phoenix Arms .22-caliber semi-automatic pistol,” the report states. The man

TACOMA — An FBI agent testifying for a second day in the case of indicted Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley said millions of dollars in real-estate fees collected by his former company were not his to keep. Under questioning from a

federal prosecutor, Special Agent Michael Brown on Wednesday hit back against suggestions from Kelley’s lawyer that he wasn’t obligated to return the money to homeowners. Kelley made repeated promises to the title companies he worked with that he would refund unused portions of the fees to their customers, but did no such thing — and that’s

Computers: Digital technology now ‘basic literacy’ From Page A3

Learning computer science also opens the door to high-demand jobs. By 2020, 4.6 million of 9.2 million science, technology, engineering and math jobs will be in computing, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Jim Taylor, author of “Raising Generation Tech,” says there’s no evidence at this point that coding or computational learning works or is even needed. Kids don’t need to learn how to use digital technology at such a young age either, he added. “Technology is the solution du jour for all our education problems. The problem is that technology emerges so quickly and gains traction that we don’t have time to examine its efficacy or ramifications,” Taylor said. Computer science doesn’t enjoy the benefits of other disciplines, including agreed-upon standards or robust assessments to measure learning, said Jeanne Century, director of Outlier Research &

Evaluation at the University of Chicago’s Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education. But it’s the same argument as for science and math, she said. There are practical issues, such as more jobs requiring computer science. “Just as important is the fact that computing is everywhere in our lives. It’s pervasive all around us. We need to understand computing.” One of the challenges is finding enough wellprepared teachers. Among other efforts, an initiative of the National Science Foundation is seeking to have 10,000 computer science teachers in thousands of high schools. Currently, computer science is taught in only about one of four high schools nationwide with fewer in lower middle and elementary school grades. Only 27 states allow a computer science course to be counted toward graduation requirements in math or science, according to Code. org. But there’s been a surge in interest in recent years.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kindergartner Lauren Meek (second from left) works with a pair of second graders on programming during their weekly computer science lesson at Marshall Elementary School in Marysville.

In 2015, nearly 49,000 students took the Advanced Placement exam in computer science, a 25 percent increase from the previous year. “Colleges are saying, ‘there’s an incredible demand, we’d like to see more students become

better prepared when they get here’,” said Terry Redican, vice president of Advanced Placement program at The College Board. A new AP computer science principles course debuts next fall. That exam is designed to be multidisciplinary, focused on

real-world applications and aimed at increasing representation among women and underrepresented minorities. At Marshall Elementary, where more than half the students are low-income, principal Kelly Sheward embraces computer

science as an opportunity. “It’s access that we didn’t previously have,” and ensures the kids will be prepared as their peers for the digital future, she said. During a recent lesson using Code.org curriculum, teacher Sheena York asks a class of fifth-graders to identify the pattern in the computer puzzle and solve it in using the fewest steps. She urges them to try different strategies, test their work as they go along and ask each other for help. “I’m figuring this out piece by piece to see if this works,” said Isiah Gibbs, 10. “That doesn’t work. So I’ll try something else.” In the lower grades, students may learn about algorithms, or a set of instructions, such steps in a baking recipe. Older students may write programs that create a game or interactive story. Many lessons don’t involve computers, and math and other concepts are integrated into the lesson, York said. “It’s almost as important as reading and math,” said fifth-grade teacher Hank Palmer.

fees of $100 to $150 to cover any money that might be required by county recorders’ offices or others, keep $15 or $20, and — according to prosecutors — was supposed to refund the rest to the homeowners. Instead, they say, Kelley kept the whole thing — an amount that totaled about $3 million from 2006 to 2008 — and started paying himself $245,000 a year from the ill-gotten proceeds. When Brown took the stand Tuesday, Kelley’s attorney, Angelo Calfo, sought to undermine the government’s case by

suggesting that the money wasn’t stolen because the homeowners were not actually entitled to refunds. Even the title companies had argued in other court cases that the customers did not have a right to recover the fees or at best their rights were unclear, Calfo said. He framed the matter as a contract dispute, not a criminal matter. “Are you aware of any document in which a homebuyer was promised a refund of this fee?” the lawyer asked. “I am not,” Brown replied. But on Wednesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Friedman stressed

that when the transactions closed, borrowers were typically given verbal promises that they would receive unused portions of the fees. And, he noted, there was a key difference between the legal positions of the title companies and Post Closing: Unlike Kelley, the other companies had not promised to return the fees. An element of the crime of fraud is knowingly participating in a scheme to obtain money under false pretenses, and that’s what Kelley did, Friedman suggested. The actions also constituted theft, Brown said. While Calfo implied that

the FBI didn’t even have a clear theory about who owned the money — the title companies or the homebuyers — Brown said Wednesday it didn’t matter, because it still wasn’t Kelley’s to keep. “Is the government required to prove whose money it was?” Friedman asked him. “No,” Brown replied. One of Kelley’s former clients, Old Republic Title, sued him in 2009. He eventually paid more than $1 million to settle the case. Kelley has been on leave for the past several months. Many lawmakers, Gov. Jay Inslee and others have called for his resignation.

The suspects got rid of it after the shooting by throwing it into the water, his report states. A spent .22-caliber shell was located at the scene of the shooting, the police report states. Judge Vickie Churchill briefly recessed court after Nunez’s attorney, Jon Ostland of Anacortes, objected to a Whidbey

News-Times reporter taking photos of the murder suspects. He said he was concerned that witnesses’ ability to identify suspects might become an issue in the trial and that a newspaper photo could compromise his client; he had no specific reason to suspect that, he said, but he hadn’t received all the police reports yet. “At this point I don’t know if it’s an issue,” he said. Churchill ruled that the suspects could not be photographed during the hearing.

“At this point, I need to err on the side of caution,” she said. It was the first time in memory that media photography has been censored in Island County Superior Court, according to several law-and-justice officials and reporters. Both newspaper and TV media have photographed and videotaped defendants at arraignments and other hearings over the years. A rule governing courtrooms states that “open access is presumed; limitations on access must be supported by reasons found by the judge to be sufficiently compelling to outweigh that presumption.”

Woman accused of trying to alter phone records Associated Press SEATTLE — A Seattle woman charged with vehicular homicide is accused of changing her cellphone records in an attempt to cover up the fact that she was talking on the phone at the time of the crash. The Seattle Times

reported that 37-year-old Deka Hirsi is accused of speeding through an intersection in February 2014 and striking and killing Tze Kiu Ng, 78. She was charged last week. Prosecutors said she turned over her cellphones after the crash, but detectives found they had been doctored.

Klamath dam relicensing inches forward By Gosia Wozniacka Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — The process to relicense the hydroelectric dam system on the Klamath River will likely move forward if Congress fails to act by the end of the year on historic settlement agreements to remove four of the dams. The Klamath River basin, which straddles Oregon and California, has long been the site of intense political fights over the sharing of scarce water between farms and fish. The agreements to remove the dams, hammered out by farmers, tribes, environmentalists and states, were a compromise to restore the river for imperiled salmon and steelhead, and give farmers greater certainty about irrigation water. Congress must pass legislation to implement the agreements, but House Republicans have blocked it for years, fearing it would set a precedent for dam removal. In October, Rep. Greg Walden — a staunch dam removal opponent whose Oregon district includes one of the dams — said he was close to drafting a bill in the House. He has not released any details. His office this week said the lawmaker would convene a meeting Thursday with key congressional leaders to discuss “a way forward” on Klamath Basin water issues. If there’s no legislation by the end of the year, when the agreements expire, several parties indicated they might abandon the settlement. “It’s not that we don’t believe in the deal, it’s that we’ve tried for years ... and have not been able to get support in Congress,” said Craig Tucker, Klamath

Water trickles over Copco 1 Dam on the Klamath River outside Hornbrook, California, in August 2009.

If we can get tribal leaders and ranchers to come to an agreement to share water, it’s shocking that we can’t bring our congressmen along with us. — Craig Tucker, Klamath coordinator with the Karuk Tribe

coordinator with the Karuk Tribe, one of four federally recognized tribes that support the agreements. “If we can get tribal leaders and ranchers to come to an agreement to share water, it’s shocking that we can’t bring our congressmen along with us,” Tucker said. Relicensing of the Klamath dams with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which licenses hydropower projects for 30 to 50 years, has been on hold for several years while groups negotiated for a federal bill. As part of the relicensing process, the dams’ owner and operator — PacifiCorp — must apply for water

quality certifications in California and Oregon. This week, the California State Water Resources Control Board announced the public process was restarting; scoping meetings are scheduled for January. California’s process formally resumed in 2013, when the water board started working with PacifiCorp on an updated application. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said its process remains on hold. If the federal government were to issue a new license to the utility, it would impose mitigation measures to reduce environmental impacts, including modifications to

the aging dams’ infrastructure and operations such as fish ladders or water quality improvements. Those measures are needed because the dams thwart salmon migration, degrade water quality, alter water flows, and contribute to fish disease problems and algae bloom problems. Three tribes depend on the fish for subsistence and ceremonial needs, and a fourth hopes fish will return once the dams are removed. One of the tribes already has obtained water rights through the courts, and the others could pursue that process, further limiting .... water to irrigators — which

is partly why farmers and ranchers support the agreements. Klamath Basin agriculture is valued at about $670 million annually. Dam removal under the agreement is also a better option for PacifiCorp, spokesman Bob Gravely said. It’s less expensive, offers the utility liability protection and caps the costs to PacifiCorp customers, he said. Several studies have shown that dam upgrades would significantly reduce electricity generation and would cost millions more than dam removal and replacement of hydropower with other sources. “We’re not ideologically for or against dam removal,” Gravely said. “We need to make decisions that lead to the best available outcome for our customers.” Despite the broad agreements, several attempts in recent years to pass federal legislation have failed. U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, of Oregon, introduced a bill earlier this year to halt the relicensing process and put the agreements into play — but it, too, hasn’t moved forward. “Time is of the essence

to ensure long-term water certainty for the Klamath Basin,” the senators said in a statement. “We look forward to hearing the House members’ views about how we can get it done.” Republican Walden told the Herald and News in October that there weren’t alternatives to dam removal, unless the agreement was blown apart. But other Republicans, including California’s Doug LaMalfa whose district includes three of the dams, oppose dam removal. “The congressman has been very clear in his belief that the dams are working as intended to generate electricity,” spokesman Kevin Eastman told The Associated Press. If legislation fails to materialize and the dams are relicensed, the utility could still choose to remove the dams if the costs of upgrades are too high. But without the broad settlement agreements, officials said, PacifiCorp customers would face higher costs for dam removal, also water sharing and river restoration benefits would be jeopardized. And that could increase fish kills and water shutoffs to ranches and farms.

Adult skull found near Gold Bar Herald staff GOLD BAR — A human skull was found last week on private timber land east of Gold Bar. The adult skull was taken to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office

for further investigation. No other human remains were found at the site, about five miles from U.S. 2, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. A logger found the skull Nov. 25 and called authorities. The sheriff’s office

issued a press release about the case Wednesday. “Detectives are looking into the circumstances of how and why the skull came to be in the area and the incident remains under investigation,” Ireton said.

Lynnwood man struck, killed by car Herald staff LYNNWOOD — A 72-year-old Lynnwood man was killed Tuesday night when he was struck by a car. It happened just before

10 p.m. in the 5600 block of 200th Street SW. The driver, a 27-year-old woman in a Toyota Corolla, stayed on scene and cooperated with Lynnwood police. The investigation is ongoing.

( It’s big! )

No other details were provided Wednesday, including where the man was when he was hit. Detectives are “still investigating the locations of all involved parties,” Sgt. Sean Doty said.

Wearing Adult Diapers or Padded Underwear is No Longer Necessary According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Embarrassing Odors...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past! NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn’t hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of “not making it” in time can be absolutely over-whelming. God forbid you have to laugh, cough or sneeze at the “wrong” time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water? You’re not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

French police officers look over a piece of debris from a plane in Saint-Andre, Reunion Island, on July 29. The wing was later found to be from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that went missing March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Australia says search for missing 777 is on track

The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn’t Know “Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a longtime clinician who is one of the world’s leading experts in natural urological health care. “They don’t even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident.” “Black is the color of choice,” says Dr. Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of public accidents.” A 100% natural, drug-free solution developed by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called Bladder Control. This sophisticated herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to improve bladder control with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia (having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks.

No More Running to the Toilet Since its introduction in Australia, more than 25,000 people have successfully used the Bladder Control formula. Dr. Seipel’s formula has made a believer out of 45-year-old, mother of three, Brandy W., from Brisbane, Australia. “I had a high bladder frequency as a child,” says Brandy, “but my frequency really worsened after the birth of my first child.” A friend who was aware of Brandy’s condition told her about Dr. Seipel’s formula. “After two weeks, I had already noticed changes,” smiles Brandy.** “I was finding that although I felt I needed to urinate, I wasn’t desperate to run to the toilet. Now, when I get up in the morning,” she adds, “I’m able to make the coffee and even have a cup before needing to go, which is a great improvement!”

Dr. Tracey Seipel: Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist & Diabetes Educator

How Does It Work? “Bladder Control helps aging bladders feel and function years younger by revitalizing bladder tone and function, and by helping improve kidney health,” says Dr. Seipel. “Bladder Control promotes normal urinary frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturia and those embarrassing, away-from-home bladder accidents,” adds Dr. Seipel. “The compound invigorates the tone of the bladder wall, restoring a healthy level of firmness by enhancing the bladder’s muscular elasticity. This reduces the frequent urge to urinate,” explains Dr. Seipel.

Positive Clinical Trials This natural, drug-free Bladder Control formula has performed well in clinical studies. In one early controlled, randomized trial, participants saw results in as little as two weeks. But the best was yet to come. Two weeks later, participants shocked study observers by reporting an astounding 88% improvement in their quality of life. Thirty days later, every study participant, 100% of them, reported that their quality of life had improved markedly. Results like these are not surprising to Dr. Seipel who single-handedly pioneered the bladder care category in the early 2000’s, receiving an award from the prestigious US Nutrition Business Journal for her work. Her patent-pending formula consisting of select, synergistically paired botanicals like Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvense and Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in the making. Dr. Seipel searched for an effective, alternative treatment to prescription drugs. “Those medications can cause memory loss and have a distressing drying effect on the body,

Store shelves are overflowing with adult diapers and absorbent underwear causing blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, nausea, and other side effects,” says Dr. Seipel.

Adios to Adult Diapers “Overactive bladder syndrome and/or urinary incontinence are widespread problems,” says Dr. Seipel. Many of these individuals wear adult diapers. Insiders in the adult diaper industry are keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel’s bladder support breakthrough because of people like 78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. from Gold Coast, Australia. Glenda wore adult diapers every day to guard against accidents. “My bladder capacity was good but the leakage and accidents would occur a few times a day without warning. So, I wore them every day,” confesses Glenda. Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s Bladder Control formula, you won’t find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore. “After only 10 days on Bladder Control, I stopped wearing my diapers. Now, I am managing very well, thank you,” says Glenda. According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012.

finances,” Truss said. In total, the search is expected to cost 180 million Australian dollars, with Australia contributing AU$60 million and Malaysia contributing AU$100 million, he said. The Boeing 777 vanished with 239 people aboard on March 8, 2014, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing. Authorities are baffled by how and why it disappeared. Among those who died were 153 Chinese nationals. The current seabed search more than 1,100 miles southwest of Australia began in October last year. Ships using side-scan sonar and an underwater drone fitted with a video camera have so far scoured more than 27,000 square miles of rugged terrain. The search area is based on analysis of scant satellite information that tracked the final hours of Flight 370.

Prostate or Bladder? Hard to Tell Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes. Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out.” “This causes structural changes to the bladder,” adds Dr. Seipel, “Causing bladder walls to thicken and lose elasticity.” As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience the same symptoms thanks to his now-overactive bladder.

His-and-Her Results “Because male and female bladders, other than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “the formula works equally well for both men and women”. “It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles. David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night.” Four weeks after starting Bladder Control, David says, “My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I’m having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night.” If you’re ready to put an end to your gonow urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here’s your risk-free opportunity.

Special Opportunity for Our Readers Dr. Seipel has arranged (for a limited time) to provide our readers a full 60 days to try Bladder Control at home completely Risk Free. That’s how confident she is that it will work for you. And... if you call today we are offering a limited number of FREE 30 day bottles as part of our “Fix My Bladder” special promotion, call now for details at 1-800-818-1814. In as little as four weeks, you could be sleeping through the night, taking long trips in the car again, and feeling confident and selfassured all without adult diapers or absorbent underwear.

CANBERRA, Australia — Australian authorities said Thursday that new analysis confirms they’ve likely been searching in the right place for a missing Malaysian airliner. Searchers have been combing a 46,000-squaremile part of the Indian Ocean since last year but have yet to turn up any trace of Flight 370. A wing flap was found in July on the other side of the Indian Ocean, washed up on remote Reunion Island. The new analysis by an agency of the Defence Department confirmed “the highest probability” the final resting place for the plane is within the current search area, the government said in a statement. Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the new analysis pointed

to the aircraft most likely coming to rest in the southern part of the current search area, so searchers would focus on that location and slightly widen the boundaries of their search area there. “We remain hopeful, indeed optimistic, that we will still locate the aircraft. There’s around 44,000 square kilometers yet to be searched in this new priority area,” Truss said. He said the new analysis used a different methodology but came to the same conclusions about where to search, giving authorities “real encouragement” they were on the right track. He said China would soon contribute a ship and 20 million Australian dollars ($14.6 million) to the search effort, marking its first financial contribution. “We are particularly grateful for this commitment from China because that will help ensure that there are adequate

Michael Hochberg talks with Krystyna Jakubowski at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Wednesday.

Holocaust survivor, rescuer are reunited in New York By Verena Dobnik Associated Press

NEW YORK — An Israeli man and a Polish woman were reunited Wednesday in New York, seven decades after her Catholic family saved him during the Holocaust. Michael Hochberg, 77, sat holding hands with 86-year-old Krystyna Jakubowska at Kennedy International Airport, locking eyes as their relatives looked on. “He was a very pretty boy and he was very good — no problems with him as a child,” she said with a smile, speaking in Polish through a translator. “But I was scared, because the Germans announced on the street what would happen if somebody is saving a Jew.” The punishment was death. On Wednesday, Jakubowska flew in from

Warsaw to meet Hochberg. The Polish woman’s family had taken in the boy at age 4 after he was literally thrown over the wall of the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw by a friend so as not to fall into the hands of the Nazis who herded hundreds of thousands of Jews there, many of them then sent to an extermination camp. For two years, the child lived with Jozef and Rozalia Jakubowski — friends of his family — and their son and three daughters including Krystyna, then a teenager. The family made sure no one discovered that he was circumcised, and therefore Jewish; most Christian babies did not undergo the procedure at that time. Hochberg had escaped just before the 1943 uprising that sent the ghetto up in flames he could see from the balcony of the Jakubowski apartment. The boy never again saw his parents or

grandparents, who all died. And he could never venture out of the apartment except at night. “Very few people helped the Jews,” Hochberg said Wednesday. “In the Jewish tradition, you say, whoever saves one soul saves the whole world.” Jozef Jakubowski, who fought against the Nazis as a member of the Polish underground, was killed in combat. The rest of the family, including the boy, was forced out of the city into the countryside, where the mother died. At the end of the war, “I just hugged everybody, and I had to leave,” said Hochberg, who grew up in a Jewish orphanage in the town of Otwock, eventually moving to Israel, where he had three sons and eight grandchildren. The survivor and Jakubowska had previously met briefly in Poland in 2006.

the Tulalip Indian Reservation that overlooks Tulalip Bay. The bridge crosses between two hatchery ponds. The retaining wall varies in height and measured 10.6 inches in the spot where the truck climbed onto the sidewalk and fell over the wall. Eighty feet away, the barrier is nearly double that height. An 18-year-old woman later told investigators that earlier in the evening she saw the four who died. She, Ariela and Lynnishia met the men at a beach area in Silvana around 9 p.m., she said. The young people were sharing vodka, beer and marijuana. The truck carrying the four left around 2 a.m. Walker was driving when the 18-year-old last saw the group in the truck.

experts on environmental planning and emergency management, and sent surveys to local businesses. Seven of every 10 local businesses said they suffered due to limited access after the slide. “Post-disaster, particularly in rural economies that are hit hard, it’s about looking at it and as you rebuild the economy asking, ‘Can we do it better?’ ” Tolbert said. “This was not a high socioeconomic area before the slide, so we looked at what can we do to make it stronger.” She and other leaders hope to make the Stilly Valley a place where people want to visit, stay for a while and come back. That means they need to draw more employers and visitors. The plan digs into the valley’s strengths and weaknesses rather than focusing on generic challenges for rural economies, Tolbert said. It “was developed to tell the whole story,” she said. The document could be a model for other communities trying to boost their economy or recover from a disaster, such as towns in Eastern Washington ravaged by wildfires over the summer, said Glenn Coil, senior manager of public policy and research at Economic Alliance Snohomish County. “It is kind of a road map as the communities are moving forward,” he said. Several infrastructure projects are considered high priority in the plan. Among them is a proposal to pave more of the Mountain Loop Highway, which has a 14-mile stretch of dirt and gravel along its 55-mile route between Darrington and Granite Falls. Building more roads that navigate Arlington’s industrial corridor near the municipal airport is another key project.

Other tasks outlined in the plan include: repairing the Whitehorse Trail, paving sidewalks, planting school gardens, allowing in-home businesses, extending library hours and improving high-speed Internet access. Many of the suggestions for Darrington are centered on the town’s roots in the timber industry and proximity to the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Protecting forest roads, adding winter recreation options and working toward a sustainable timber industry are mentioned in the plan. For Arlington’s end of the valley, planners are looking to expand the city as an anchor for family wage jobs in North Snohomish County. That means marketing the manufacturing and industrial corridor and assessing retail options around the city. The plan also recommends expanding the “Visit Stilly Valley” tourism campaign started in June 2014. “The mudslide really is what caught our attention on the needs of these communities,” said Curtis Moulton, director of WSU Extension in Snohomish County. Arlington and Darrington are tightly linked and the slide did lasting damage when it cut them off from each other, he said. Some projects in the plan could happen in 2016, while others may take years, Moulton said. The document needs to look decades into the future if it’s meant to tackle something as big as bouncing back after a natural disaster. “Our human resources research shows that it takes about five years to recover from a disaster,” Moulton said. “People up there are still really impacted by what happened. Creating new opportunities in the community is a way to help.” Kari Bray: 425-3393439; kbray@heraldnet. com.

He and Doris built a nice house which they were very sad to leave when he made Sergeant and was transferred to Centralia, Wa s h . H e wa s eve n t u a l l y transferred to Everett, Wash. which is where he retired. Warren was a past master of Everett Blue Lodge. In retirement he drove a school bus for the Shoreline School District and eventually became a driver trainer while he waited for Doris to retire. After Doris’ retirement they bought a nice motorhome in which they lived and traveled for a few years. Eventually they purchased a lot in the Foothills area of Yuma, Ariz. and built their “hacienda” where they spent winters with friends. Warren was an excellent musician playing the steel guitar and Dobro. He loved to pick with his buddies and formed a band that played of ten at a bar called the Red Barn in the Yuma area. They were very popular and had a lot of fun playing for the people. He and several members of that band are undoubtedly playing for friends in heaven today. Warren continued to pick with friends until he became ill. R yan Mef ferd was his favorite family m e m b e r to j a m w i t h a n d they sounded great together.

Tom was born and raised in Snohomish, Washington on September 24, 1949, to Ben and Bernice Sprague. He graduated from Snohomish High School and then graduated from Moses Lake Technical School with his aircraft mechanic li cense. From there he chose to follow his father’s career and cared for Snohomish valley with his agriculture business. At the age of 23, he married Laurie Nolan and t h ey h a d t w o d a u g h te r s . They eventually settled down in Machias, Wash. and raised their family until their daughters graduated. From t h e r e , l i f e t o o k To m t o Eastern Washington in which he worked with his brother for some time. In 2006, Tom h e a d e d b a c k to We s te r n Washington and worked in Skagit Valley, in order to be closer to his grandchildren. In 2010, he bought his own little home and had his own “man home”. His daughters were so happy for him. Tom was very proud of his work. He also was very thankful to get a chance to work with Skagit Farmers towards the later par t of his career, in which he had yet to retire from. Tom had many cherished moments in his life. From his days being raised on his family’s farm, to working at Harvey Airport as a mechanic and being part of the parachute club, to tinkering on engines in his shop and working on his first home in Lake Stevens, Wash. Tom loved his girls. He took them camping, hiking, four-wheeling, skiing and swimming. He put up with the constant giggles and bickering of his girls. He taught them many valuable lessons. He also was ver y practical and taught them how to change their tires, drive a car to being adventurous and ending our day with a notorious quote “don’t tell your mom about this adventure”. Along came Tom’s grandchildren and his hear t burst with pride. He enjoyed watching them grow, bond and experience life. It also gave him a chance to be a “child” again. Tom was very proud to be a Grandpa! Tom had many hobbies, RC airplanes and helicopters, going to Disneyland (and going on roller coasters over and over), NASCAR, boating, riding his motor cycle, flying his single engine plane and traveling when he could. Tom leaves behind his two daughters, Amy Rosencrans (Travis) of Stanwood, Danell Edwards (Tad) of Snoqualmie, Wash.; brother, D av e S p r a g u e ( C h r i s ) o f P r o s s e r, Wa s h . , s i s t e r, Bonnie Sprague (Steve Bogert) of Bellingham, Wash.; and four grandchildren, Natalie (8), Car ter (8), Amber (7) and Parker (5).

result of the crash, and the brakes were in good condition. At the highest point of the lift kit, the truck’s suspension system measured 18.5 inches above the ground. The size of the tires “would have most certainly changed the center of gravity on the vehicle and increased the chance of rollovers,” Metcalf said. The tires also had been designed to bounce over bumpy surfaces, he said. The truck had been eastbound down the hill, approaching a stop sign west of the bridge. Walker likely lost control as he passed the stop sign. That stretch of the road is maintained by the Tulalip Tribes, which also own the ponds. Tribal officials declined to comment for this story. The sheriff’s office investigates most fatal crashes on the reservation, as the sheriff has a team of detectives who specialize in collision reconstruction. Walker’s blood-alcohol content after his death was measured at .12, above the legal limit of .08. Two of the other young people in the car tested positive for marijuana and all of them had been drinking. Rikki King: 425-3393449; rking@heraldnet. com.

Shooting suspects slain Investigators believe one of the shooters left a party after an argument and returned with one or two armed companions.

S. Carolina: Discrimination

JAMES QUIGG / THE VICTOR VALLEY DAILY PRESS

Authorities search a residential area Wednesday after a shooting that killed 14 people at a social services center in San Bernardino, California.

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson said he’s faced more discrimination because he’s a black conservative than because of his race alone. “That’s an easy one: conservative ideology by a long shot,” he said, when asked which factor generated more prejudice. “In this country, you are not supposed to be black and be a conservative,” said Carson, the only black candidate in the 2016 presidential field. “If you are, you are fair game for any vile thing, for lies and twisting your words.”

Illinois: Silent dash video

Argument at party A senior federal official monitoring the case said investigators believe one of the shooters left the party after getting into an argument and returned with one or two armed companions. Local officials said it was not clear whether the people involved in the dispute were the same people involved in the shooting. Law enforcement sources identified one of the suspects as Syed Farook. Two separate sources said one of the suspects was an American citizen, but did not specifically name Farook. Public records show a person named Syed Farook was employed by the San Bernardino County Health Department as an environmental health specialist, but it was not clear if that was the same person involved in the shooting. The party was a gathering of employees of the health department. A third person was detained in the area where the pursuit ended, but authorities said they had not connected the person to the shooting. They raised the possibility that there could be at least one other person involved in the shooting and additional people involved in the planning. A federal law enforcement source said the suspects hurled what were believed to be pipe bombs at police during the vehicle pursuit. San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said police recovered one device, but it turned out not to be an explosive. The shooting Wednesday was a grim marker: It was the deadliest mass shooting since the massacre of 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. People at the party described a terrifying scene. “Everyone dropped to the floor,” Denise Peraza, 27, told her relatives. “The guys opened fired for 30 seconds, randomly, then paused to reload and began firing again.” Peraza was hiding under a desk when she was struck in the lower back. After the attackers left, the scene was silent for about five minutes. Then the doors swung open again, and a swarm of police officers entered the room. The first 911 call came at 11 a.m.

Texas sues feds to block refugees AUSTIN, Texas — Texas on Wednesday sued the U.S. government in an effort to block six Syrian refugees from resettling in Dallas this week. The lawsuit comes after the nonprofit International Rescue Committee said it would place Syrian refugees in Texas over the objections of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. The state, citing security concerns, is seeking to delay the arrival of the refugees for at least a week, until a federal judge can hear the challenge. The state says in the lawsuit that the IRC and the federal government have left Texas “uninformed about refugees that could well pose a security risk to Texans.”

Los Angeles Times SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Dressed in black face masks and tactical gear, armed with long guns and pistols, they entered a holiday party for county health workers as it was in full swing. Before they fled, they had killed 14 people and wounded 17. Four hours later, as fearful residents were ordered to stay home and scores of officers swarmed the streets, authorities chased a black SUV carrying two suspects from a Redlands home. As TV news stations broadcast live overhead, authorities and the suspects traded gunfire. When it was over, a man and woman connected to the assault were dead. One body lay in the street, blood pooling. Another was recovered from the vehicle. A police officer was also wounded in the firefight but is expected to survive. The motive for the shooting was unclear. “Is this a terrorist incident? We do not know,” said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. He later said terrorism had not been ruled out as a motive. The identities of the man and woman killed by police were not immediately released.

A man and his daughter who survived the shooting leave the social services center.

As it has in America’s string of mass shootings, word spread via social media. The first sign that something horrifying was under way came when the San Bernardino County Fire Department reported via Twitter that the agency was responding to a scene of “20 victim shooting.” The attack at the Inland Regional Center, which serves developmentally disabled people, rippled across San Bernardino, a city located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. All county schools, as well as city government buildings and courthouses, were on lockdown as police continued to search for the assailants. School officials, however, stressed that students had not been in danger and were dismissed on the regular schedule.

Motive uncertain Burguan said information about the party being the focus of the attack was “preliminary” and he declined to comment on a motive for the shooting. He did confirm that one person at the party left before the shooting, after an argument, but said it wasn’t clear if that person was one of the eventual shooters. “We have no information at this point to indicate that this is terrorist related, in the traditional sense that people may be thinking,” Burguan said. “Obviously, at a minimum, we have a domestic terrorist-type situation that occurred here.”

Hundreds of people were on the grounds at the time of the attack, Burguan said. Inland Regional Center officials said the conference room where the party was taking place can hold up to 200 people. Chaos followed the gunfire. At first, some at the scene mistook the shots and law enforcement response for a routine disaster drill. Dorothy Vong, a nurse who was working in a nearby building, captured the tension in a video. As law enforcement officials sprinted toward the scene, someone can be heard saying, “Oh, that is scary.” “They’re all geared up!” someone else says. “Rifles and everything!” In the background, someone laughs. Then the reality sets in. Carlos Ortiz’s son, Kevin Ortiz, was shot twice in the leg and once in the shoulder. Carlos Ortiz, 54, was among a dozen people holding hands in a prayer circle outside Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, where numerous victims were taken. “Kevin called me immediately after he got shot and said ‘I’ve been shot three times, Dad. I’m in pain. Don’t worry. There’s a policeman with me.’ ” Seconds later, the phone call ended. Dozens of people spent hours hiding in their workplaces. The block where the shooting took place is home to a number of businesses, Henning said, including a three-building complex that houses his office and

about 140 others. Lynn Spicer, an employee at West Tech/Webcop Interactive Systems, inside a nearby office building, said police were not allowing anyone to leave the area. “I just heard sirens all day, and I went out and I saw nothing but massive cops were out,” Spicer said. Spicer said more than 100 people were brought over from the Inland Regional building and gathered in her office complex’s parking lot. “It’s shocking that it’s right across the way,” Spicer said. “It’s very scary.”

President Obama is briefed President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting by his homeland security adviser, Lisa Monaco, and asked to be updated as the situation developed. The president was being interviewed by CBS on Wednesday when news of the attack broke, and said the repeated occurrence of mass shootings shows the need for stricter gun laws in the U.S. “Obviously, our hearts go out to the victims and the families,” he said. “The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world.” As night fell, some were still left to wonder if their loved ones had been wounded, or even killed, in the morning attack. In East Hollywood, Mindy Velasco paced around her office, repeatedly calling area hospitals, trying to find her niece, who worked for the county health department. Yvette Velasco, who is in her late 20s, had told her family she planned to attend the holiday banquet. “I’m fearing the worst,” said her aunt, her voice breaking. “Her sister asked me to pray because we know she was there.” “Yvette is usually in constant touch with us. She would definitely be in contact after something like this,” she said. “But, as of now, there is nothing.”

A police dash-cam video that captures a white Chicago officer fatally shooting a black teenager 16 times has no sound, nor do videos from four other squad cars at the scene. But department protocol indicates all the cruisers should have been recording audio that night. The silence is almost sure to figure into the ongoing federal investigation of the case, and it raises questions about whether officers were careless with the recording equipment or, worse, attempting a cover-up. Sound can be central to understanding what happened at a crime scene.

D.C.: ‘Sandy’ Berger dies Samuel “Sandy” Berger, who helped shape foreign policy as President Bill Clinton’s national security adviser from 1997 to 2001 and who later was engulfed in legal tribulations over his unauthorized removal and destruction of classified documents from the National Archives, died Wednesday at his home in Washington. He was 70. The cause was cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer of the bile ducts, said an official with Albright Stonebridge Group, the Washington-based consulting firm he co-chaired with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Hawaii: Halt to counting The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked votes from being counted in a unique election that’s considered a major step toward self-governance for Native Hawaiians. The high court granted an injunction requested by a group of Native Hawaiians and nonHawaiians challenging the election. They argue that Hawaii residents who don’t have Native Hawaiian ancestry are being excluded from the vote, in violation of their constitutional rights. Native Hawaiians are voting to elect delegates for a convention next year to come up with a self-governance document to be ratified by Native Hawaiians.

California: ‘Witch’ killings One of two so-called “San Francisco witch killers” has been denied parole. A parole board Wednesday said Suzan Carson, 73, was unfit for early release. Carson and her husband were convicted of killing three people in Northern California in the 1980s during a drug-fueled religious quest to rid the world of witches. They were each sentenced to 75 years to life. Michael Carson, 64, canceled his parole hearing in June, saying he refuses to renounce his violent religious beliefs.

AROUND THE WORLD Britain: Bombing ISIS Lawmakers voted by a wide margin Wednesday to join the international campaign of airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria, after Prime Minister David Cameron asserted that bombing the “medieval monsters” in their heartland would make the country safer. The 397-223 vote in the House of Commons means Royal Air Force fighter jets — already operating against ISIS in Iraq from a base in Cyprus — could be flying over Syria within hours.

Boeing finishes 787-10 design By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Boeing Co. has passed a key milestone toward starting production of the 787-10, the biggest version of the Dreamliner family of commercial jetliners. The company said Wednesday that its engineers have finished what is called detailed design for the airplane nearly two weeks ahead of schedule. Those small-scale designs are necessary to start making assembly equipment and components of the airplane. Boeing has already released at

least some of that information to suppliers, according to the company’s statement. Major assembly of the 787-10

is slated to start in 2016, with first flight the following year and the first delivery scheduled for 2018.

The airplane will be assembled only at Boeing’s plant in North Charleston, South Carolina. The other Dreamliner versions — the 787-8 and 787-9 — are assembled there and in Everett. The 787-10 is a stretched version of the 787-9, which was first delivered to a customer in 2014. The designs for the two 787 versions are 95 percent identical, according to Boeing. To date, customers have placed orders for 164 787-10s, about 14 percent of all Dreamliner orders. Dan Catchpole: 425-339-3454; dcatchpole@heraldnet.com; Twitter: @dcatchpole.

Cabela’s seeks a buyer The entire retail sporting goods sector has been under pressure for some time.

is an appropriate time to explore potential strategic options that may drive further value,” Millner said. Stifel analyst Jim Duffy said he thinks Cabela’s stock continues to be undervalued because the credit card unit alone is

worth between $38 and $40 a share. Duffy said both private equity firms and competitors might be interested in buying Cabela’s. The entire retail sporting goods sector has been under pressure for some time.

Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc., Hibbett Sports Inc. and Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp. are all down between 20 percent and 35 percent over the past year. In that regard, Cabela’s has fared better. Shares of Cabela’s Inc., of which the founding family still holds a nearly 24 percent stake, are down 11 percent this year. But they’ve risen more than 18 percent in the last month on speculation of a buyout. The company was founded in 1961 when Dick Cabela started selling fishing flies through the mail from his kitchen table with his wife, Mary, and brother, Jim.

Private sector adds 217,000 jobs in November “The current pace of job creation is twice that needed to absorb growth in the working-age population.” By Jim Puzzanghera Los Angeles Times

biz bits

WASHINGTON — Private-sector employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding 217,000 net new jobs in the best performance since June, payroll firm Automatic Data Processing Inc. said Wednesday. The job growth topped an upwardly revised 196,000 in October and was another positive economic signal, adding to the likelihood that the Federal

Yellen signals likely interest rate increase Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, saying the U.S. economy has come a long way since the Great Recession, gave further signals Wednesday that the central bank was likely to raise interest rates later this month. In a highly anticipated speech in Washington, Yellen said the Fed had made good progress in meeting its two objectives, maximizing employment and controlling inflation. Her remarks reinforced widespread expectations that policymakers would make their first rate hike in nearly a decade at the end of their twoday meeting Dec. 15-16. She cautioned, however, that there were still more economic data to be released before the Fed’s next meeting.

U.S. productivity outperforms estimate U.S. productivity this summer grew at a faster rate than first thought, though it still lagged the pace set in the spring. Labor costs were also revised up, but the modest upward pace does not raise concerns about inflation. Productivity rose at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the July-September quarter, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. That was up from an initial estimate of 1.6 percent but still below the 3.5 percent gain in the second quarter. Labor costs rose at a 1.8 percent rate, up slightly from the previous 1.4 percent estimate. They advanced 2 percent in the spring.

Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Cabela’s, the outdoor sporting goods chain known for its elaborate in-store wildlife displays, may be seeking a buyer. The retailer, which has a store in Tulalip, has been under pressure since late October when the investment firm Elliott Management started pushing for money-generating maneuvers from Cabela’s, possibly the sale of its credit card unit or the entire company. Elliott owns 6 percent of Cabela’s shares and holds options to buy another 5 percent. The company has been attempting to cut spending due to weak sales and in September it laid off 70 people, eliminating about 4 percent of its corporate workforce. Cabela’s has its headquarters in Sidney, Nebraska, a town with a population of less than 7,000. Cabela’s accounts for almost a third of that number in jobs. CEO Tommy Millner said in a written statement that Cabela’s continues to honor its commitments and that it remains focused on its business. Millner, who has led Cabela’s since 2009, said the company’s board maintains faith in its current strategy, but will consider other options. “The Board is committed to taking actions to enhance value for shareholders and believes it

Peterbilt recalls too-speedy trucks A truck manufacturer is recalling more than 2,000 semis because they reach speeds greater than their tires are built to handle. The move by Peterbilt in the U.S. and Canada raises questions about the safety of thousands of other trucks on U.S. roads. Peterbilt said it’s recalling tractors from 2009 to 2016 because they can exceed 75 miles per hour, even though the maximum speed their Michelin tires can handle is 65 mph. The trucks mainly haul automobiles. Peterbilt said the tires can fail and cause a crash. Dealers will reprogram computers so the trucks can’t go over 65. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is encouraging other truck makers with similar risks to fix the problem. From Herald news services

Thailand vows to fix aviation woes after downgrade by U.S. Associated Press BANGKOK — Thai officials Wednesday acknowledged weaknesses that caused the United States to downgrade the safety rating of the country’s aviation industry, saying its growth outpaced the ability of regulators to keep up. The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday downgraded Thailand to a “category 2” rating, which means its civil aviation authority is deficient in one or more critical areas or that the country lacks laws and regulations needed to oversee airlines in line with international standards. “Thailand does not comply with International Civil Aviation Organization safety standards,” the FAA statement said. It audited Thailand’s civil aviation authority in July as part of its role in ensuring airlines that fly to the United States meet international standards. Thai airlines will not be allowed to establish new services to the U.S. under the category 2 status. Thai Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said Wednesday that the main concerns among the 33 raised by the FAA were inadequate manpower and training and insufficient ability to vet the licensing of pilots in a timely manner. “We had limitations in training our people to become inspectors,” Arkhom said. “We have 2,300 pilots and they have to renew their permits. We don’t have enough people to inspect and grant the permits.” Thailand is one of the world’s top tourist destinations, and its tourism industry accounts for about 7 percent of the country’s economy. Regulators in other countries are likely to be influenced by the FAA

forecast to hold steady at 5 percent, the lowest since 2008. ADP’s figures are viewed as an indicator of the broader Labor Department report, though the numbers can vary widely. October’s ADP report initially estimated job growth at 182,000, which was

announcement, which could lead to measures against national flag carrier Thai Airways and other airlines. Asked if he was concerned that the European Aviation Safety Agency would issue a downgrade similar to the FAA’s later this month, Arkhom acknowledged that the agencies operate by similar rules. He said the effect of a European downgrade would be similar to that of the United States: existing flights to Europe would not be affected, but Thai airlines might not be able to increase the number of flights or change destinations or types of aircraft. Thailand’s military government ordered an overhaul of the civil aviation authority after ICAO made an initial negative assessment in March, but it could not meet a deadline for rectifying all the problems. Arkhom said ICAO approved Thailand’s corrective action plan and the two sides were working to implement it. He said Thai aviation authorities would focus on recertification of the 28 of Thailand’s 41 airlines that operate international flights. If the process goes according to plan, ICAO would be invited to make a new inspection before August 2016. If it is satisfied that the problems have been corrected, it could lift its rating immediately. Thai Airways International President Charamporn Jotikasthira said the airline’s business would be affected if any European restrictions on Thai flights were not lifted by 2017. The airline, which is Thailand’s flag carrier with 11 European destinations, has been ailing financially, and in October cut its last U.S. route, to Los Angeles. It doesn’t plan to add to its European flights in 2016.

well below the 268,000 private-sector figure reported by the Labor Department. ADP said there was broad-based private-sector job growth last month, led by 204,000 net new positions added by service providing companies. Those firms added 174,000 jobs in October. Construction companies increased their payrolls by 16,000, half what they added in October, ADP said. But manufacturers rebounded to add 6,000 net new jobs in November after their payrolls shrank by 2,000 the previous month and 17,000 in September.

Spending tops $3 billion on record Cyber Monday Associated Press NEW YORK — Shoppers spent more than $3 billion online this “Cyber Monday,” making it the biggest online shopping day ever. Research firm comScore said shopping by phone, laptop or tablet jumped 21 percent to $3.11 billion Monday, fueled by a 53 percent surge in spending via mobile devices. The 10-year-old shopping holiday has lost some of its luster as retailers start sales even earlier than the traditional Thanksgiving and Black Friday sprees. Yet “Cyber Monday” has become engrained in the minds of enough shoppers and it endures as the top online spending day of the year. “Despite some talk of Cyber Monday declining in importance, the day’s historical highs and continued strong growth rates confirm it is still a hugely important shopping event,” said comScore chairman emeritus Gian Fulgoni. It’s the sixth year in a

row that Cyber Monday has been top online sales day on record. Mobile spending, or sales via smartphones and tablets, jumped 53 percent to $838 million, making up 27 percent of total online spending. Top online shopping destinations included Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Target and Best Buy. The spending spree comes even as several retailers had problems during Cyber Monday. Amazon said some orders in the U.S. and Canada had incorrectly applied shipping charges, but it discovered the error and refunded the charges. Target’s Web site was briefly offline due to high traffic. ComScore expects online sales to rise 14 percent to $70.06 billion during the November and December shopping period, slowing slightly from last year’s 15 percent rise. Online sales make up 10 percent of overall retail sales, but that increases to 15 percent during the holidays as online shoppers

snap up Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, according to research firm Forrester. The name “Cyber Monday” was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation’s online arm, called Shop.org, to encourage people to shop online. The name was also a nod to online shopping being done at work where faster connections made it easier to browse. Now, even with broadband access, Cyber Monday continues to be a day when retailers pull out big promotions. The NRF estimates overall sales for November and December will rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion compared with last year. Another firm that tracks online spending, MasterCard Advisors, said e-commerce sales for last month and the Thanksgiving weekend rose 13.4 percent compared with the year-ago period. For all of November, e-commerce sales were up nearly 16 percent compared to the same period a year ago.

Reverting to form on budget Bank, the federal agency that guarantees loans between American manufacturers and foreign buyers, promoting the exports from large and small companies. The banks authorization expired earlier this summer, forcing lost opportunities for trade. Congress also is expected to approve reforms of No Child Left Behind, following a bipartisan effort in April by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee. A spokeswoman for Murray’s office said this week that while the bill has changed some in conference, the Senate version that Murray and Alexander worked out is largely intact. Among its provisions, the Every Student Succeeds Act reduces the more burdensome requirements of NCLB, reducing reliance on highstakes testing and expanding access to quality education for all students. Importantly for Washington state, it ends the state waiver process that

in 2014 labeled 88 percent of schools in the state as failing. Instead, states will have the flexibility to design their own accountability systems. The bill would also de-emphasize the use of student test scores as one of the only indicators of school success, leaving the assessments to be used for evaluating student performance and as a tool for directing their education. But where bipartisanship has resulted in sorely needed reforms and renewals in the areas listed above, Congress is reverting to past practices in its attempts to pass an omnibus spending package for 2016 as it deadline approaches Dec. 11. Congress averted a government shutdown in late-September when thenSpeaker of the House John Boehner announced he was stepping down, leading to a temporary budget extension that expires next Friday. A full budget agreement was stymied in September when

well a particular vote represents the will of all citizens” is truer than ever — but the discussion needs to be expanded to shed light on how well organized taxing districts employ low voter turnout to essentially control the ballot box. A recent example is Proposition 1 (increased sales tax for Community Transit.) Prop 1 garnered 51 percent of returned ballots, but that represented an extremely low 12 percent of registered voters — a small minority imposed a permanent sales tax increase on all voters (indeed, all taxpayers) — not a “mandate” by any definition. Taxing districts

(school districts, library districts, Sound Transit) everywhere routinely employ an obvious tactic — schedule “special elections” for times with known low voter turnout — then marshal their voter block (teachers, unions, etc.) to “push” the new taxes over the very low “simple majority” threshold. We do need new/more laws that insure a true majority of voters/citizens are represented. I suggest a new law that requires any new/ increased taxes to meet a “50 percent of registered voters plus 1” approval threshold.

House Republicans attached a long list of policy riders, most of them wholly unrelated to the budget, that were unacceptable to many Democrats and President Obama. Among them, was the effort to defund Planned Parenthood. The proposal to defund Planned Parenthood and other such riders have returned with the Republicans’ latest spending plan, this time with the approval of new House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin. Some of the riders now attached to the budget would block action on environmental, labor and financial accountability issues that only a minority hope to block. Democrats and Republicans in both House and Senate have shown with their deals on transportation, the ExportImport Bank and reforms to No Child Left Behind, that they can reach agreement. Further brinkmanship on the budget is tiresome and only risks harm to the nation’s economy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■INITIATIVE 1366

Let’s see what courts will decide For those who voted for Initiative 1366, before you get too excited about your victory at the polls, here are the facts about the election results. There were 3,975,071 registered voters as of October 2015. Of those, 1,471,204 votes were cast on the initiative; 757,714 for, and 713,450 against. That means that of the potential 4 million eligible, only 19.01 percent statewide said they want the benefits of the initiative. Not a great win, in my opinion! Let’s see what the courts say about this one. (Data from office of the Washington Secretary of State, election division.) Peter Evans Jr. Mountlake Terrace

GUEST COMMENTARY | State Voting Rights Act

Act would enshrine diversity people seek By Luis Moscoso

ith the Nov. 3 General Election, Washington state acknowledged the emergence of a more diverse political reality. The election of eight Latinas to five City Councils (five in Eastern Washington and three in the Seattle Metro area) has clearly demonstrated that the Latino community is fully engaged in the democratic process. Because of structural discrimination in Yakima it took a recent lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union to introduce fairness into their voting system so all communities could be equitably involved. Racially polarized voting was diminishing the American Dream for that ethnic community who had become so essential to the economy of the Valley — but

could not elect their own representatives in Yakima and elsewhere. As the prime sponsor of the Washington Voting Rights Act (HB 1745) I have personally met with elected officials throughout Eastern Washington who told me they recognize that their voting systems may also be unconstitutional, and that they want to avoid the unnecessary expense of a federal court case like the one that cost Yakima taxpayers millions of dollars. The Washington Voting Rights Act will provide accountability and fairness by fixing broken election systems that can deny voters an equal opportunity to have their participation count in elections. Officials I’ve met with, including Republican colleagues in the Legislature, recognize that demographic change makes it likely that voting systems in many

Washington jurisdictions will be found unconstitutional if challenged. But why wait for communities to sue for their constitutional rights? Why not finally pass the Washington Voting Rights Act next year in the Legislature? This law would save governments money and resolve complaints faster by allowing them, if necessary, to go through state courts instead of federal courts. It is time to provide fair voting systems anywhere in Washington state where under-represented people have been unable to elect representatives from their communities. Local elected officials must either ask their legislators to pass the Washington Voting Rights Act in the 2016 legislative session or they must tell their citizens to be prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars

IN OUR VIEW | Action, inaction in Congress

Two steps forward, one step back. For Congress, that’s progress. Two long-awaited bills are expected to be approved in both House and Senate, possibly as early as today or Friday, after legislation for both moved out of conference committees earlier this week. You can even count one bill as a two-fer. The federal transportation bill, called the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, is a fiveyear $281 billion spending bill that will make desperately needed investments in the country’s transportation infrastructure. The state’s congressional delegation helped secure spending that benefits Washington state, including $400 million for the Federal Highway Administration’s ferry program, ensuring more funding for Washington State Ferries and overall funding for bridge and highway work and transit programs in the state. Just as important, the bill also renews the Export-Import

to defend inadequate and discriminatory election systems that will certainly be ruled unconstitutional in the end. For me “One Washington” means providing an election system that gives every voter the opportunity to vote in a more meaningful and legitimate way. Last month’s election of eight Latinos to five City Council positions in Eastern and Western Washington is a harbinger of elections to come wherever Latino communities have been under-represented in the past. Passing the Washington Voting Rights Act will expedite this inevitable and preferred exercise in democracy. Sí se puede! (Yes, it can be done.) State Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, represents the 1st District and is the founder of the Legislative Latino Caucus.

Words, actions prove it: Trump a bigot, a racist

et’s not mince words: Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist. Some will think this an outrageous label to apply to the front-runner for a major party’s presidential nomination. Ordinarily, I would agree that namecalling is part of what’s wrong with our politics. But there is a greater imperative not to be silent in the face of demagoguery. Trump in this campaign has gone after AfricanAmericans, immigrants, DANA MILBANK Latinos,Asians, women, Muslims and now the disabled. His pattern brings to mind the famous words of Martin Niemoller, the pastor and concentration camp survivor (“First they came for the socialists ... “) that Ohio Gov. John Kasich adroitly used in a video last week attacking Trump’s hateful broadsides. It might be possible to explain away any one of Trump’s outrages as a mistake or a misunderstanding. But at some point you’re not merely saying things that could be construed as bigoted: You are a bigot. It has been more than a quarter-century since Trump took out ads in New York newspapers calling for the death penalty for “criminals of every age” after five black and Latino teens were implicated in the Central Park jogger case. The young men, convicted and imprisoned, were later cleared by DNA evidence and the confession of a serial rapist — and Trump called their wrongful-conviction settlement a “disgrace.” Since then, Trump led the “birther” movement challenging President Obama’s standing as a natural-born American; used various vulgar expressions to refer to women; spoke of Mexico sending rapists and other criminals across the border; called for rounding up and deporting 11 million illegal immigrants; had high-profile spats with prominent Latino journalists and news outlets; mocked Asian accents; let stand a charge made in his presence that Obama is a Muslim and that Muslims are a “problem” in America; embraced the notion of forcing Muslims to register in a database; falsely claimed that thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks in New Jersey; tweeted bogus statistics asserting that most killings of whites are done by blacks; approved of the roughing up of a black demonstrator at one of his events; and publicly mocked the movements of New York Times (and former Washington Post) journalist Serge Kovaleski, who has a chronic condition that limits his mobility. Though all Trump supporters surely aren’t racists or bigots, even a cursory examination of social media reveals that many are. His supporters tend to be white, less-educated and middle-aged and older — those who are anxious and angry because they are losing ground as the American economy changes. An analysis of the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll by my colleague Scott Clement found that Trump, who has the support of 14 percent of registered voters overall, does particularly well among white men who aren’t college-educated (24 percent) and white, non-evangelical Protestants (27 percent), but gets only 3 percent of nonwhites and 5 percent of those under 30. This doesn’t mean Republicans or conservatives generally are bigoted. I wouldn’t label any other candidate in the GOP field that way (though Ben Carson’s remarks disqualifying Muslims from the presidency crossed the line). Although 32 percent of Republicans supported Trump in the latest Post poll, 86 percent of the overall American electorate hasn’t embraced him. Trump’s rivals for the nomination are slowly and haltingly finding the courage to call him what he is. Some Trump defenders claim the candidate isn’t racist but simply “careless and undisciplined,” as John Hinderaker of the conservative website PowerLine put it. When I called in last week to a radio show Hinderaker hosted, he defended the treatment of the black man at Trump’s rally (“he was obviously being disruptive and he was a big burly guy”), Trump’s tweet falsely blaming African-Americans for most killings of white people (“he just fell for some bad data”) and Trump’s embrace of a Muslim database (“that was brought up by a reporter”). I argued that the large number of instances over an extended period add up to a pattern of bigotry. “We’d be at it a long time if we go back through history,” the host said. Exactly. Shouldn’t Republicans take that time before they nominate a racist? Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Man freed after he is cleared of mom’s death By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — A Washington man convicted of killing his mother 15 years ago walked free out of prison Wednesday after investigators said new DNA tests linked another man to the crime. Donovan Allen left Clallam Bay Corrections Center on the Olympic Peninsula a day after a prosecutor dismissed the case against him, lawyers with the Innocence Project Northwest at University of Washington Law School told The Associated Press.

“It feels surreal,” Allen said in a statement emailed by Anna Tolin, the organization’s director. “I can finally begin the life I was robbed of. ... I’m so glad to have a second chance to be a father, a son, an uncle.” Allen was 18 when his mother, Sharon Cox, 49, was strangled and bludgeoned in 2000. He confessed to police after an overnight, 14-hour-long interrogation. Though he later recanted, he was convicted of aggravated first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. Investigators said new DNA

tests recently linked Cox’s nephew, 42-year-old Brian Del Kitts, to the killing and he was arrested last week. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday to an aggravated murder charge. The Innocence Project Northwest requested the new DNA testing — with technology that is far more sensitive than was available 15 years ago — in an effort to exonerate Allen. Policy director Lara Zarowsky told The Associated Press last week that prosecutors never suggested during Allen’s trials that more than one person may have

been responsible, the new testing excludes Allen as a suspect, and Allen should be freed. Police said the tests, performed by the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab, provided “compelling evidence” linking Kitts to the killing. Prosecutors dismissed the case against Allen without prejudice, meaning charges could be brought again if further evidence arises linking him. Allen’s lawyers said the DNA test excluded him as a suspect. Cowlitz County Prosecutor Ryan Jurvakainen called the decision to drop the charge against

Where is everyone?

Allen “the right thing to do.” His lawyer described the case as emotional. “I’ve been meeting with Donovan at this prison for the past four years, and I am truly humbled to share this moment when Donovan can begin to rebuild his life after all he has endured,” Tolin wrote. Cox was the sister of Kitts’ adoptive mother. Kitts was identified as a person of interest during the original investigation, Longview police said, but there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him.

Uptick in Oregon’s revenue forecast By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

‘Treehouse master’ accused of illegal building Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. — A Washington state builder known for hosting the show, “Treehouse Master,” on Animal Planet is accused of building treehouses in Oregon without a state contractor’s license. Pete Nelson, who is known for designing elaborate forest

dwellings, is facing outstanding code violations for allegedly building a treehouse without local approval or building permits, The Register-Guard reported. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board said Monday that is has levied a $5,000 fine against Nelson for building a treehouse in the coastal community of Neskowin. The house is 46 feet off the

ground in a Sitka spruce and is reached from the ground from a complex set of elevated stairways. The agency fined Nelson $1,000 last year after he built a treehouse in Central Point without a license. Nelson’s treehouses are known for their complexity. They function as one-room suites and single-family homes with some having electricity, functioning

bathrooms and kitchens. According to documents filed with the state Construction Contractors Board, a Jackson County code enforcement supervisor learned about the Central Point treehouse from an episode of the show that aired in late 2013 or early 2014. Nelson was not available for comment.

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon state revenue is expected to tick up modestly, according to figures released Wednesday, likely preventing the need for spending cuts when lawmakers convene for a five-week legislative session early next year. Compared with quarterly projections issued three months ago, economists raised their estimates for tax and lottery revenue by $56 million to just under $19.5 billion. Their projections mean lawmakers won’t have to pull back on the spending increases they approved earlier this year for education and safety-net programs. But they also won’t have a large influx of money to direct toward school districts, universities and others seeking a bigger boost. “The forecast keeps our investments in top priorities from the 2015 session on track for now,” said Democratic Sen. Ginny Burdick, of Portland, the majority leader. “We will be ready to take action in February to keep funding for education, health care and public safety on the right course.” Still, legislative leaders warned that the picture could change if the economic recovery slows. “Things can change quickly,” said Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem. “We get the next forecast 10 days into the February session. We won’t have much time to react, if the need arises.”

‘Heart-wrenching’ duty awaits trooper at crash scene By Alisha Roemeling The Register-Guard

WALTERVILLE, Ore. — Oregon State Police Trooper Anthony Mathews shot the cow dead. And then he had to do it again and again and again. “It’s heart-wrenching,” Mathews said at the scene along Highway 126 west of Walterville, where a truck pulling a trailer with 68 cattle overturned Tuesday afternoon. “They’re more or less like pets, and it’s hard, but you have to do what’s right for them and not let them suffer.” Mathews, a wildlife division trooper with state police, was assigned to kill 12 injured cows trapped inside the trailer. As the shots from Mathews’ handgun rang out, bystanders and emergency crew members winced and plugged their ears. Mathews said there were “many more” animals already dead within the trailer. Once confirmed dead, the cows were dragged from the trailer with a long metal cable and placed into another trailer. A

BRIAN DAVIES / THE REGISTER-GUARD

Workers remove barriers that funneled surviving cattle through a trailer’s roof at the scene of the crash east of Springfield, Oregon, on Tuesday.

co-owner of the truck and trailer, Ron Langley of Monroe, said the carcasses would likely be taken to a designated dump, as they could not be used for meat. “A lot of them have broken legs and bones,” Langley said of the animals. “There’s no way for us to get them up or use them, so we have to shoot them.”

Langley works for Apache Transport, a Junction City company that hauls livestock and construction materials. The owner of the cows was on the scene and helped troopers determine which animals could be saved. The truck driver had minor injuries and was not taken to a

hospital, law enforcement officials said. The truck sheared a tree and struck a power pole, which downed lines and cut power to several nearby homes and businesses. Following the crash, several cows escaped to a nearby field through a hole in the top of trailer, according to state police trooper Sgt. Vonn Schleicher, who said he was unsure how many cows were alive, dead or injured. The trailer likely was ripped open on impact, Schleicher said. The cows that were trapped inside the trailer could be heard mooing and kicking the metal trailer, prompting officials to decide to shoot the “severely injured” animals, Schleicher said. The area where the truck overturned has been the scene of multiple crashes over the years, according to several neighbors. A driver who crashed a stateowned tanker truck on Dec. 30, 2014, spilled a load of 11,000 juvenile salmon in the same spot. The driver, who struck a power pole, was later determined to have a

blood alcohol level of 0.29 percent, state police said at the time. The scene at Tuesday’s crash was eerily familiar, according to Penny Burns, 38, who said crashes in the area are “a constant problem.” “That’s the exact same spot the fish truck crashed,” Burns said. Burns said she was the first to call 911. “As soon as I heard it, I came out and saw one (cow) take off,” Burns said. “They were all mooing and kicking very loudly.” Burns said the driver got out of the truck quickly. “The guy was hurt a little, he was bleeding from the head and looked like he may have broken his nose, but he was walking and talking just fine,” Burns said. Marlin Lay, 56, said he was arriving home just up the street when the crash happened. “Speeding is what got him,” Lay said. “He hit that tree so hard, he bounced back into the highway.” Police said Wednesday that speed was a reason the truck failed to negotiate the turn. The driver was cited for failing to drive within his lane.

Anacortes kids help restore bay CDC: 152 fall ill By Kera Wanielista Skagit Valley Herald

BOWMAN BAY â€” Bracing against the wind at Deception Pass State Parkâ€™s Bowman Bay, 10-year-old EmmaLee Grove put the force of her entire body into digging a hole on the beachâ€™s newly restored shoreline. When the hole was sufficiently deep, EmmaLee and her best friend, Kadence Yonkman, placed the roots of a small, leafless tree â€” which they had named Wilbur â€” into it, then covered the roots with rich, dark gray mud. â€œI think Wilburâ€™s going to be happy,â€? EmmaLee said. Nearby, about 70 Fidalgo Elementary School students planted trees, shrubs and ground cover plants. â€œWeâ€™re rebuilding the habitat for animals and bugs,â€? Kadence said. That morning, Fidalgoâ€™s three classes of fifth-graders were the first student group to help

restore habitat at Bowman Bay. Three more classes from Island View Elementary School headed to the beach in the afternoon. â€œWe really just want to re-create the entire ecosystem,â€? said Lisa Kaufman, Northwest Straits Foundation nearshore program manager. â€œThe habitat (then) can do what it wants to do and what it needs to do.â€? The fifth-gradersâ€™ work to restore the beach came after a three-day trip to the North Cascades Instituteâ€™s Mountain School. The beach restoration provided the perfect opportunity to bring what the students learned at Mountain School full circle. â€œThis is a chance to bring those lessons closer to home,â€? North Cascades Institute Communications Coordinator Christian Martin said. â€œNatureâ€™s not out there, far away and something you have to drive to. Itâ€™s right in your own back yard.â€?

The experience of Mountain School and beach restoration tied in nicely with what the students are learning in classes about ecology and the environment. â€œItâ€™s just an incredible, hands-on, outdoor, realworld application of the science standards they would have to learn in a classroom anyway,â€? said teacher Barbara Meaders. As fourth-graders, the students planted green beans from seeds, said science teacher Kristen Downs. She hoped the beach restoration project would help further their understanding of ecosystems. â€œItâ€™s good to see them using what they learned in a different kind of way,â€? Downs said. Ten-year-old Marley Baker said he thought the plants would do well on the beach. â€œIt has a lot of the â€˜LAWS,â€™ which are light, air, water and soil,â€? he said.

The restoration work is important to help the beach and its wildlife thrive, Kaufman said. By planting shrubs and other plants, marine life, such as surf smelt, will have more places to spawn, she said. The smelt are a food source for local salmon. â€œThe salmon need more places to live,â€? EmmaLee said. The students planted native roses, Oregon grapes, snow berry and salal. This created more of a â€œsoft shoreâ€? than the previous rocky shoreline, Deception Pass State Park Manager Jack Hartt said. The new shoreline also makes the beach more accessible, he said. â€œWith the rocks, it was nearly impossible for people to get to the beach,â€? Hartt said. â€œWith the restoration, people will be able to get to the beach easier.â€? Which is important to EmmaLee, especially since she needs to keep an eye on Wilbur.

to salmonella Associated Press

SEATTLE â€” Scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have completed their investigation of a salmonella outbreak related to pork in Washington state this past summer. A total of 152 people were infected with salmonella, as of Aug. 27. Twenty-four were hospitalized but no deaths

were reported. Health officials determined the likely source of the outbreak was pork produced by Kapowsin Meats, but the investigation is ongoing. The Graham, Washington, company recalled more than 500,000 pounds of pork products, from whole pigs to processed meat. Most of the reported illnesses were in western Washington.

Too much homegrown pot Associated Press PORT ORCHARD â€” A 25-year-old woman has been charged in Kitsap District Court for illegally farming more than 200 pot plants in her Bremerton house.

The Kitsap Sun reported that Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents were alerted to the womanâ€™s operation by two other Navy dependents. The womanâ€™s husband is in the Navy.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Learn from past experiences. You will be prone to taking on too much and have a tendency to be indulgent and overly emotional this year. Keep situations in perspective and deal with matters of concern quickly. Trust in your ability to assess, confirm and make things happen. Your numbers are 7, 12, 18, 21, 27, 33, 47. ARIES (March 21-April 19): A disciplined approach to contracts, legal matters and your finances will enable you to engage in the luxuries you enjoy. A discussion with someone you love will lead to greater incentives and future plans. â˜…â˜…â˜… TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Participate in industry events or take part in celebrations that mark a new beginning. Events and projects should be scheduled carefully to avoid creating a conflict with someone elseâ€™s plans. A shopping trip will lift your spirits. â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Youâ€™ll face trouble if you make unrealistic promises. Problems with children, people from your past or someone you are in a partnership with will escalate if you overreact. â˜…â˜… CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do what you can to spruce up your surroundings. Preparing for the festive season or getting involved in an event that is geared toward helping those less fortunate will result in great joy and new friendships. Express your thoughts and feelings. â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Getting out and taking part in events and activities that allow you to share your ideas and plans will lead to an opportunity. Networking, meetings and updating your resume will help you set your sights on future prospects. â˜…â˜…â˜… VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do your best to listen to any grievances being made before

responding. Take time to weigh all the pros and cons and consider the possible outcomes based on the choices youâ€™ve been given. Donâ€™t overreact. â˜…â˜…â˜… LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Use your knowledge and your experience to your advantage. Someone will try to get the best of you, but as long as you are well-informed regarding situations that influence your life, you will come out on top. â˜…â˜…â˜… SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Revisit old ideas and reconnect with people you have worked with in the past. The information you receive may not be accurate, but it will spark your interest and allow you to turn a questionable idea into a viable venture. â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Travel or dealing with emotional situations or authority figures will not bode well. Stick close to home, and if you feel the need to make changes, concentrate on your living space or personal skills and appearance. Make love, not war. â˜…â˜… CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid anyone trying to put pressure or demands on you. Gravitate toward people who offer stability and security, not those making impulsive changes or inconsistent offers. Protect your health and your assets, and steer clear of fast-talking wheelers and dealers. â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When it comes to contracts and agreements, make sure all your paperwork is in order. Investing time and effort into the way you look and feel will bring excellent results as well as compliments from someone special. â˜…â˜…â˜… PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a clear mind when dealing with situations that have the potential to explode. Listen carefully, but donâ€™t get involved in something that might compromise your reputation or an important relationship. If you judge others, you will be judged as well. â˜…â˜…â˜… Universal Uclick

M’s tab Aoki, deal Trumbo in flurry of moves New GM Jerry Dipoto continues massive overhaul of Seattle’s 40-man roster. By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Even before the Mariners completed Tuesday’s trade with Baltimore, they began racing through Wednesday at a dizzying pace in continuing to revamp their roster under new general manager Jerry Dipoto. The day started with free-agent

outfielder Nori Aoki agreeing to a one-year deal, pending a physical examination, that includes a club option for 2017. From there, the Mariners completed two trades, including the one with the Orioles, signed a free-agent reliever, added a first baseman in a waiver claim, lost a catcher in another claim and designated a player for assignment. “We’re taking the 10,000foot view of putting this roster together,” Dipoto said. “I would be remiss if I didn’t suggest that measuring each trade as a standalone is probably not the way to

RENTON — The main issue with Patrick Lewis wasn’t his ability. It wasn’t the Seattle Seahawks center’s blocking technique or his grasp of the offensive concepts. It was getting him to open his mouth. Therefore, Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable found the solution to getting Lewis to talk. “I put a quarter in him and he just went off,” Cable quipped, drawing laughs from the surrounding media members. Cable may have Patrick Lewis been joking, but he touched upon the INSIDE issue that turned Lewis from an ✓ Injured afterthought into Graham has Seattle’s starter at surgery, C4 center.

I think I’ve just been kind of following Cable’s instructions as far as taking charge. I’ve been trying to do a better job of being vocal, talking more collectively with the offensive line, to get it figured out, to figure out how we need to do it, how we need to go

Tri-City notches 2 short-handed goals, ends Everett’s 3-game win streak 4-1 By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Generally a power play is supposed to work to the advantage of the team with the extra man on the ice. The reverse was true Wednesday at Xfinity Arena, where three of the five goals scored came of the short-handed variety as the Tri-City Americans defeated the Everett Silvertips 4-1 before 3,233 fans. Tri-City (11-16-1-0, 23 points) utilized two short-handed goals to defeat the Silvertips for the

first time in two meetings this season. “We’re both high pressure teams on the penalty kill, so we really can attribute it to that,” said Everett forward Brian King, who scored the Silvertips’ lone goal — also coming shorthanded. “We’ve got to clean up our puck management on our power play.” Everett (14-8-0-2, 30 points) squandered an opportunity to move into second place in the U.S. Division standings.

Wednesday’s defeat also came against a Tri-City team the Tips defeated 5-0 at Xfinity Arena on the night before Thanksgiving. “I thought the first 10 minutes a week ago against (Tri-City) was kinda blah, and tonight I thought the first 10 minutes was kind of blah,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “But in that

SNOHOMISH — The first half didn’t go quite the way the Glacier Peak girls basketball team hoped it would. The second half, however, couldn’t have gone much better for the Grizzlies. Glacier Peak outscored crosstown rival Snohomish 33-20 in the second half to come from behind and clinch a 43-37 nonconference win over the Panthers at Glacier Peak High School Wednesday night.

Sounders, C2

“We knew it was going to be a low-scoring game,” Grizzlies head coach Brian Hill said. “... We’re just happy to come away with the win. Snohomish is a great team. They’re tough and they’re going to be tough. I hope they do well. That was a good win for us. We saw that we can do a lot of good things and hopefully we can continue to get better.” The Glacier Peak offense struggled in the first half, netting just 10 points — all from junior point guard Samantha Fatkin. It was almost a minute into the third quarter before the first non-Fatkin points were scored for the Grizzlies. Then junior post Kayla Watkins took over. Glacier Peak worked the ball in to the 6-foot-1 Watkins who scored 10 points — all in the

second half — and added 12 rebounds to help fuel the Grizzlies’ comeback. “We’re going to keep feeding her if she keeps doing well,” Hill said. “She did a great job in there defensively and offensively for us. She got some big boards and finished some big hoops.” “When me and Kayla work together it’s something special,” Fatkin said. “I love playing with her.” Fatkin finished with a gamehigh 18 points for Glacier Peak (2-0 overall) after keeping the Grizzlies’ offense afloat in the first half. She was also Glacier Peak’s leading scorer in the Grizzlies’ 55-50 victory over the Panthers last season.

f you’re looking to rustle up the basic ingredient for crab melts, crab salad, crab chowder or crab with dipping butter, you’d best toss the traps in the boat and get with it — for a couple of reasons. First, the winter recreational crab season ends Dec. 31. Second, while Marine Areas 8-1 and 8-2 have produced excellent crabbing this year, commercial crab fishers are likely to get another opening in the two areas. If they do, recreational catch rates probably will drop substantially. State Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Don Velasquez in the agency’s Mill Creek office said both tribal and non-tribal commercial crabbers have fished the two areas (from Deception Pass south to Possession Point), most recently a tribal opening last weekend. They did very well, Velasquez said. The two fleets are close to the 50-50 split mandated by law, and also closing fast on their quotas, he said. The state is currently assessing the crab population to see if there are harvestable numbers remaining. “The best guess,” Velasquez said Tuesday, “is that there will probably be another commercial opening, but when that might happen is still undecided.” Marine Area 10 (SeattleBremerton, roughly south of the Edmonds-Kingston ferry line) opened to sport crabbing Tuesday, joining the rest of Puget Sound. Velasquez said Area 10 isn’t as productive as Area 8, but that it has been consistently good. The better spots in Area 10, he said, include the east side of Bainbridge Island; Four-Mile Rock, just north of Elliott Bay; and Indianola, about three miles south of Kingston. Marine toxins that have been found in coastal shellfish have

PICK OF THE WEEK | Elger Bay Blackmouth

Outdoor calendar

Marine Areas 8-1 and 8-2 (Deception Pass south to Possession Point) are probably not going to be a bonanza for blackmouth anglers this winter, but there are some legal hatchery chinook out there for those willing to brave the weather and put in their time on the water. One of the better spots traditionally is Elger Bay, just south of the Camano State Park ramp. The bay is not only good blackmouth water, but also is just a short run to the ramp if winter weather kicks up. The line on Saratoga Passage has always been that it tends to hold larger winter fish but not as many as Possession Bar (now closed to chinook) and this season seems to bear that out. Saturday

The North Snohomish Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) meets at 7 p.m. on Dec. 8 at Bayside Marine in Everett (1111 Craftsman Way). The featured speaker will be Gary Krein of All Star Charters. The meeting is open to the public. For more information, call Ralph at 360-653-3894.

not been an issue in Puget Sound crab.

Fortson access The access trail from the parking lot to the Fortson Hole on the North Fork Stillaguamish has been washed out by recent high water, 60 or 70 yards short of the river. This is on the Swede Heaven side, not the highway side, according to area resident and experienced steelheader John Eisenberg. The only “dry” access now is to jog right at the washout, but the landowner on that side has closed off his property, and access, with “no trespassing” signs and yellow tape. You can still get to the hole by going left at the washout and wading downriver (at low water levels), Eisenberg said, if you’re equipped with waders, or by fishing from the rock rip-rap on the highway side. “I’ve talked to the landowner and he seems a reasonable person to deal with,” said state biologist Jennifer Whitney at the Mill Creek office. “Some trees came down in the storm and a child fell in the washout last week and was hurt, so the landowner is concerned about liability.” The whole situation may be moot, however, because there probably will be few steelhead showing up at Fortson (the stream from the Whitehorse Hatchery enters the Stilly there). Because of federal concerns about wild-steelhead stocks, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has not planted hatchery steelhead in the North Fork for two years. “There will be a few summer-runs around, and a small run of perhaps 400 winter fish,” Whitney said, “but nothing like the old Fortson Hole.” The department wants to preserve the North Fork stock and is afraid there will not be enough winter steelhead returning this year to provide brood stock. Whitney said

produced some very good fishing in Elger Bay for local anglers Buzz Tompkins and Morgan Kruse, who limited with two fish just legal, a 10-pounder, and Kruse’s dandy 16.03-pounder. The pair saw other fish caught as well. The big blackmouth hit a cutplug herring on the outside of the point, and the 10-pounder took a 31⁄2-inch, glow-white Kingfisher spoon behind a cookies ’n cream flasher. Both of the larger fish were boated around the low tide change. After launching at the ramp, the water down to the point is worth a try before turning left into the bay. The best water is just outside and just inside the point, and right off the tip. — Wayne Kruse

she expected new regulations to be released this week requiring catch and release on the North Fork and selective gear only — barbless hooks, no bait. Check the department website — www.wdfw.wa.gov — for more information.

Local blackmouth While Marine Area 9 remains closed to chinook, and Areas 8-1 and 8-2 have provided at least a viable alternative, if not a great fishery. All Star Charters owner/skipper Gary Krein is managing to consistently put fish in the boat on the south side of Hat Island and on the north side “racetrack,” between Hat and Camano Head, and Saratoga Passage is kicking out some nice fish (see pick of the week). Krein likes green Coyote or Kingfisher spoons behind a Gibbs moonglow flasher, fished at 70 to 80 feet, 10 feet off the bottom.

Where did the sockeye go? Of the 512,000 sockeye that returned to the mouth of the Columbia this summer, Fisheries and Oceans Canada reported just 10,400 of those fish made it back to the terminal spawning grounds in the Canadian Okanagan. That’s an appalling loss of salmon compared to last year when 441,500 made it back from a run of 645,100 sockeye. According to state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver, this escapement was the sixth-lowest since 1980, but the number returning to the Columbia was the third-highest on record. The Lake Wenatchee portion of the run was robust at 51,500 counted over Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River — the second highest count since 1999. The state’s Region 2 fish program manager, Jeff Korth in Ephrata, said the recreational sockeye catch in the

Brewster pool was 25,400 fish, and the tribal take at the mouth of the Okanogan was similar. Korth said the approximate 90,000 sockeye harvested along the length of the Columbia, and the 50,000 fish that turned up the Wenatchee, should have left roughly 372,000 fish to make it to Canada instead of the reported 10,400. What happened to the missing 362,000 sockeye? Korth said it was almost certainly mortality — fungal infections and other problems — due to unusually low and warm water levels. The Okanogan river is shallow and warm, and so is the south end of Lake Osoyoos, from which the Okanagan flows. “Really bad conditions,” Korth said. “I’ve never seen a die-off as bad as this one.”

Sounders decline options on nine players By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

The Seattle Sounders declined options on nine players Wednesday, including defenders Zach Scott and Leo Gonzalez, who have been with the club since its 2009 entry into Major League Soccer. Options also were declined on players who saw regular minutes in the just-completed season: Marco Pappa, Chad Barrett, Gonzalo Pineda and Micheal Azira, along with veteran No. 2 goalkeeper Troy Perkins, and first-year imports Andres Correa, and Thomas. “We did decline options on a couple of guys who have been long-time Sounders, who have given a ton for the club on and off the field,” general manager Garth Lagerwey said. “We’re really grateful for their contributions. They made us who we are and have contributed mightily, not just this year but to the (club’s ongoing seven-season

Valimaki on the left side of the crease. Valimaki shot past Everett goaltender Carter Hart for the 3-0 lead at 18:30. The second came from Beau McCue off a pass from Brandon Carlo at 3:24 in the third in another two-on-one Everett struggled to defend. That gave the Americans a 4-0 lead and Hart yielded for backup Mario Petit. “We had some turnovers that created the two-on-ones and we didn’t do a very good job playing the two-on-ones,” Constantine said. “A two-on-one against you should turn into a

playoff run). A big thank-you to those guys, whether we reach new agreements with them or not.” The players whose options were declined become subject to the MLS re-entry, free agent and waiver draft processes. If they remain unsigned by other clubs, they would be free to resume negotiations with the Sounders, who might be interested at lower salaries. “The majority will not (return),” Lagerwey said. “But certainly the door remains open in a couple of cases.” One candidate could be Scott, whose history with the club dates from its USL days to his starting assignment in the Sounders’ final game of the 2015 postseason. At the right price there would almost certainly would be interest in Pappa, who had three goals and six assists in 20 appearances and 17 starts last season. “I think a lot of Marco,” Lagerwey said. “Unfortunately the option on his contract was at a

significant increase over what he made this year, and we didn’t think it provided us with the value that we needed.” The Sounders also have offers on the table to out-of-contract players Andy Rose and Andy Craven. Lagerwey noted that Rose is on trial with Coventry City of England. Seattle and clubs across MLS can begin rebuilding their rosters Monday, the day after MLS Cup when the trade window reopens and the various reentry, waiver and free agency processes begin. “I think we’re going to keep the large portion of our playoff starting contingent intact,” Lagerwey said. “I think you’ll see us changing some of our depth with the idea (identifying) players who maybe aren’t ready to play all the time right now but could be prepared to start in the next year or two. … Overall, the group does need to add some speed at some positions, and does need to get a little bit younger at some

positions.” The current roster is composed of goalkeepers Stefan Frei and Charlie Lyon; defenders Brad Evans, Oniel Fisher, Damion Lowe, Chad Marshall, Tyrone Mears, Jimmy Ockford, Dylan Remick and Roman Torres; midfielders Osvaldo Alonso, Erik Friberg, Andreas Ivanschitz, Aaron Kovar, Lamar Neagle and Cristian Roldan, and forwards Clint Dempsey, Darwin Jones, Vic Mansaray, Obafemi Martins and Nelson Valdez. Lagerwey indicated he is comfortable going into camp without a veteran backup goalkeeper behind Frei, citing his confidence in 2015 draft picks Lyon and Tyler Miller of Sounders 2. “Keeping teams together is a constant challenge under our roster restraints, and this season is no different,” Lagerwey said in a club release. “… As we continue to shape our 2016 roster we’ll have additional announcements in the weeks ahead.”

bad-angle shot. We turned a couple of the two-on-ones into breakaways.” King completed scoring with his second goal of the season on a rebound off Tri-City goaltender Evan Sarthou with an assist from Connor Dewar at 11:43 in the third. The game also saw the end of Silvertip Remi Laurencelle’s point streak at nine games and the debut of recently acquired defenseman Brycen Martin. Everett traded for the he 6-foot-2, 200-pound Martin on Monday, and he skated his first practice Tuesday before being thrown right into action in Wednesday’s game. “My legs felt good and I felt like I started to get a lot of the systems throughout the game,

and I think (Constantine) noticed that,” Martin said. “I got a little bit of power play time today which is always good. That’s where I’m comfortable. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s a good start.” The Americans struck first when Silvertips deflected a shot from the point directly to a waiting Parker AuCoin who faced a wide-open right side of the net. AuCoin sent the carom past Hart for a 1-0 lead at 12:53 in the first. Rasmussen found Dylan Coghlan in the high slot, and Coghlan fired past a screened Hart to push the lead to 2-0 at 8:22 in the second. The Silvertips finished with a 24-20 shot advantage though Sarthou turned aside 23 of

Orioles get protection in Trumbo deal

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Roundup

Wiltjer leads Zags to 69-60 win over Cougars

Associated Press NEW YORK — Baltimore added a bat as protection in case it loses Chris Davis, acquiring power-hitting Mark Trumbo and left-hander C.J. Riefenhausen from Seattle on Wednesday for catcher Steve Clevenger. In another deal ahead of the midnight EST deadline to offer contracts to unsigned players on 40-man rosters, Oakland obtained first baseman Yonder Alonso and left-hander Marc Rzepczynski from San Diego for left-handers Drew Pomeranz and Jose Torres plus a player to be named. Trumbo is an outfielder, first baseman and possible designated hitter. He batted .262 with 22 homers and 64 RBIs in 142 games this year with Arizona and the Mariners, who wanted to shed his expected salary of about $9 million. “The addition of a proven major league hitter like Mark Trumbo today lengthens our lineup,” Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said. Baltimore will be the 29-yearold Trumbo’s fourth team since 2013, when current Seattle GM Jerry Dipoto traded him from the Los Angeles Angels to the Diamondbacks. Trumbo averaged more than 30 home runs and 90 RBI from 2011-13 with the Angels. “I was aware that I was in the position that this might well happen,” Trumbo said. “There were a few teams that were mentioned before, but to be honest, the Orioles weren’t one that I had heard, at all.” Trumbo can become a free agent after next season. Davis, who led the major leagues with 47 homers this year, became a free agent last month. Alonso batted .282 with five home runs and 31 RBI this year. He was on the disabled list from May 9 to June 1 with a bone bruise in his right shoulder and Sept. 14 through the end of the season with a lower back strain. Pomeranz had surgery on his pitching shoulder in October and is expected to be ready by spring training. He was 5-6 with three saves and a 3.66 ERA in a careerhigh 53 appearances (nine starts) spanning 86 innings for the A’s in 2015. In addition, the Padres hired Mark McGwire as bench coach. Ahead of its $217 million, seven-year contract with lefthander David Price, a deal likely to be completed Friday, Boston finalized a $13 million, two-year agreement with right-handedhitting outfielder Chris Young. Young, 32, had been with the New York Yankees since August 2014, batting .252 with 14 homers and 42 RBI in 318 at-bats this year. He hit .327 against lefthanders this season. Philadelphia claimed outfielder Peter Bourjos off waivers from St. Louis, and Kansas City acquired backup catcher Tony Cruz from St. Louis for infielder Jose Martinez. Veteran infielder Gordon Beckham, an Atlanta native and former University of Georgia standout, agreed to a $1.25 million, one-year contract with the Braves, pending a physical. Cleveland acquired outfielder Collin Cowgill from the Los Angeles Angels for cash. Cowngill missed about half this past season because of a sprained right wrist and he hit .188 in 69 at-bats. There were 206 players eligible for arbitration at the start of the day. Any player offered a contract is entitled to, at a minimum, roughly one-sixth of his 2016 salary as termination pay if he gets released. Among those who became free agents when they were not offered contracts were injured Kansas City closer Greg Holland; Oakland first baseman Ike Davis; Angels reliever Cesar Ramos; Detroit right-handers Neftali Feliz and Al Alburquerque; White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers and right-hander Jacob Turner; and Cincinnati right-hander Ryan Mattheus. Arbitration-eligible players who agreed to one-year deals were Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis ($4.5 million), Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak ($3.9 million), Baltimore right-hander Vance Worley ($2.6 million), Oakland left-hander Felix Doubront ($2 million), Cubs left-hander Rex Brothers ($1.42 million) and Washington first baseman Tyler Moore ($900,000).

The Mariners acquired backup catcher Steve Clevenger from the Orioles on Wednesday.

M’s acquire Clevenger By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — C.J. Riefenhauser’s time with the Seattle Mariners turned into a footnote Wednesday when he joined Mark Trumbo in heading to the Baltimore Orioles in a trade for Steve Clevenger. The move came just 27 days after the Mariners acquired Riefenhauser, a lefty reliever, from Tampa Bay in a six-player deal. News of possible Trumbo/ Clevenger swap surfaced Tuesday afternoon, but it wasn’t until later in the day that sources confirmed the Orioles were getting an additional — and at that point unidentified — player. That player turned out to be Riefenhauser, who split time last year between the Rays and Triple-A Durham. He has a 6.30 ERA in 24 big-league appearances over the last two years. The Mariners finally confirmed the deal Wednesday afternoon after both clubs reviewed the latest physical examinations on all players. General manager Jerry Dipoto cited Clevenger as an addition that filled a need. “Adding Steve further addresses our desire to build depth and balance behind the plate,” Dipoto said. “He’s coming off of a season in which his bat clicked at the major-league level the way it always has in the minors.” Clevenger is leaving his hometown club, but admitted he was expecting a trade after veteran catcher Matt Wieters accepted Baltimore’s qualifying offer. “The Orioles aren’t interested in three catchers,” Clevenger said. “They’ve never really

being hit in the head Aug. 9 by a pitch from Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs. While Aoki continued to play after the incident, he experienced recurring lightheadedness that forced him to the disabled list in early September. He also missed a month earlier in the season because of a broken leg. If healthy, Aoki fits the Mariners’ new preferred profile as an athletic player with on-base skills. He has a .287 average and a .353 on-base percentage in four big-league seasons since arriving from Japan. Aoki played just 93 games last season with San Francisco because of his concussion issues in addition to a broken leg that sidelined him for month at mid-season. He still matched his career marks: a .287 average and a .353 OBP. The Giants chose to exercise a $700,000 buyout clause rather than pick up a 5.5 million option on Aoki for next season. The Mariners then bolstered their bullpen depth by signing free-agent Justin De Fratus, a right-hander, to a one-year deal for $750,000. “He’s a guy who will throw 91 to 95 (mph) with a slider,” Dipoto said. “He’s always had swing-and-miss capability. He’s coming off a down year. There’s no getting around that. “That’s what made him

carried three catchers. So I figured they are trying to shop me around and get someone to help their team out. “There are no hard feelings. I loved Baltimore, cherished my time here. But it’s exciting for me. And hopefully I’ll go to Seattle and establish a majorleague career.” The Mariners’ decision to surrender Riefenhauser suggests they were keen to unload Trumbo, a first baseman/outfielder, prior to Wednesday’s deadline for offering contracts to unsigned players on the 40-man roster. “It’s difficult to trade away right-handed power ...,” Dipoto said. “(But it was an) opportunity to bring in a lefthanded-hitting backup catcher and create enough payroll and roster-related flexibility to do some other things.” Trumbo, 29, is eligible for arbitration and projected to make $9.1 million in 2016 before qualifying next winter for free agency. More than his salary, Trumbo became expendable because he is viewed as a poor fit in the organization’s philosophical shift under Dipoto to emphasize speed, athleticism and defense. Trumbo is, instead, a lumbering power hitter who averaged 26 homers over the last five seasons. He batted .263 with 13 homers and 41 RBI last season in 96 games after arriving in a June 3 trade from Arizona. While Clevenger, 29, provides the Mariners with a viable backup catcher to just-signed veteran Chris Iannetta, the move’s primary benefit is that it frees Trumbo’s projected salary for other needs. The Mariners are still looking

to retain free-agent pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma and will now likely be shopping for a first baseman. Trading Trumbo leaves Jesus Montero as the only full-time first baseman on the 40-man roster. “Our goal between now and opening day,” Dipoto admitted, “is going to be to add to that.” Clevenger is not yet eligible for arbitration and figures to make around $520,000. He is under club control through 2019, but he is also out of options — which could push Mike Zunino, at least temporarily, to the fringe. Zunino, 24, was the starter for two-plus years and viewed as a franchise cornerstone before deepening struggles resulted in a late August demotion to Triple-A Tacoma. He still has two options remaining. “This does allow us the ability to send Mike back to Tacoma to start the season if that’s what we choose to do,” Dipoto acknowledged. “He’s not going to be forced onto the majorleague roster until he’s ready to be there.” Clevenger is a left-handed hitter who batted .287 last season in 30 games for the Orioles, but he spent much of the year at Triple-A Norfolk, where he batted .305 in 75 games. While he has a .228 career average in 148 big-league games over parts of five seasons, he flashed greater potential in the minors by batting .310 in 733 games over 10 years. “Part of the appeal in Steve is he can swing the bat,” Dipoto said. “He has been an excellent offensive player. He can hit ... He’s always been an on-base guy. It’s more of a singles, gap-type guy with doubles power.”

available at 28-years-old.” The Mariners are banking on a bounce-back year from De Fratus, who compiled a 5.51 ERA last season in 61 games for Philadelphia. He had a 2.39 ERA over 54 games in 2014. “We felt...we might be able to find better ways to get the most out of him,” Dipoto said. “We’re not looking for him to be a long or multi-inning reliever but rather a short-burst reliever. Just let his stuff play.” De Fratus, 28, became a free agent in October when he rejected an outright assignment to the minors upon clearing waivers. The Mariners also acquired first baseman Andy Wilkins in a waiver claim from Baltimore and lost catcher John Hicks on waivers to Minnesota. Wilkins, 27, is a six-year pro whom the Orioles acquired in a Sept. 6 waiver claim from Toronto. He opened last season in the Dodgers’ system at Triple-A Oklahoma City before the Blue Jays obtained him in a cash deal. “He gives us a nice twooptions player who has upper-levels experience,” Dipoto said. “We could pair with Jesus (Montero at first base) if the season started today. “Our goal between now and opening day is going to be to add to that.” The Mariners cleared space for Wilkins by designating left-hander Edgar Olmos for assignment. Olmos, 25, was 1-0 while allowing seven runs in 14 innings over six appearances,

including two starts. Wilkins batted .251 last season in Triple-A with 18 homers and 79 RBI in 126 games. The Mariners designated Hicks, 26, for assignment on Nov. 23 to clear roster space after signing veteran free-agent catcher Chris Iannetta. Hicks was a fourth-round pick in the 2011 draft who made his big-league debut last season by going 2-for-32 in 17 games. He has a .280 average in 403 games over five minorleague seasons.

Kivlehan to Texas Utilityman Pat Kivlehan is heading to Texas as player to be named later in the Nov. 16 trade that netted outfielder Leonys Martin and right-hander Anthony Bass for reliever Tom Wilhelmsen and outfielder James Jones. The Mariners recently added Kivlehan, 25, to their 40-man roster to prevent him from being available in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. He batted .256 last season at Tacoma with 22 homers and 73 RBI in 123 games. “You have to give to get in trades,” Dipoto said, “and when we made this trade, (Kivlehan) was the guy all along. We carried him up until today to allow for rosters to be set and players to be moved around. “This was a move we felt we had to make to get the center fielder that we coveted (in Martin).” Kivlehan was a fourth-round pick in 2012.

Source: Richt and Miami agree to deal Associated Press CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Mark Richt is going back to where his college career began. The former Miami quarterback has reached a tentative agreement to be the Hurricanes’ next head coach, pending the completion of contract talks, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been signed and the university has not announced the hire publicly. Richt spent the last 15 seasons as the head coach at Georgia, averaging nearly 10 wins a season and leading the Bulldogs to a pair of Southeastern Conference championships. Georgia fired Richt on Sunday. He is a South Florida native and played for Howard Schnellenberger at Miami, when the Hurricanes were just becoming the program that would win five national championships in 19 seasons. Richt takes over a Miami program that hasn’t won more than nine games in a season since 2003, and hasn’t won a bowl game since 2006.

Maryland hires Durkin Maryland has hired Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin to be its head coach. The 37-year-old Durkin is in his first season at Michigan under Jim Harbaugh. He led a defense that ranks fourth in the nation in yards allowed per game. Before working at Michigan, Durkin was the defensive coordinator at Florida for two years. Durkin also worked at Stanford under Harbaugh and he started his career as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green when Urban Meyer was the coach there.

Graham has knee surgery By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — If all went according to plan, Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham underwent surgery on his injured knee Wednesday. Seattle head coach Pete Carroll, addressing the media at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Wednesday afternoon, said Graham was in meetings with doctors on the east coast Wednesday morning. If all went well, Graham would undergo surgery to repair the torn patellar tendon in his right knee later in the day. Graham suffered the injury during last Sunday’s 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at CenturyLink Field, twisting his knee as he attempted to catch a pass in the end zone. Graham has already been placed on injured reserve and is done for the remainder of the season. Carroll said he expected Graham to be ready by the start of next season. Graham came to Seattle in the offseason in a blockbuster trade with the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks acquired Graham, a three-time Pro Bowler, along with a fourth-round draft pick in exchange for Pro Bowl center Max Unger and a first-round pick. Graham finished the seasons with 48 receptions for 605 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. Carroll was asked to assess the trade now that Graham is done for the year:

about it, and were doing a pretty good job at it.” Lewis has been Seattle’s starting center the past three games. The third-year pro, an undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M, had largely been an anonymous member of Seattle’s roster since being signed off the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad last October. His main contributions to the Seahawks had been to fill in as the starting center in four games last season while Max Unger was out with ankle and knee injuries, and he found himself replaced mid-game at one point. But it’s hard to argue with how Seattle’s offense has performed since Lewis took over full-time at center in place of Drew Nowak three weeks ago against Arizona. The Seahawks led the league with 31 sacks allowed through their first seven games, an average of more than four per contest, and much of Seattle’s offensive struggles were blamed on the play of the offensive line. However, the past three games with Lewis installed at center the Seahawks allowed just six sacks, and Seattle’s offense has been on a roll. That’s particularly been the case the past two weeks as the Seahawks’ offense has posted 68 points. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, over the past two games with more time to throw, is 45-for-59 for 605 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions. The improvement isn’t all because of Lewis, but he’s a part of it.

“I love him on our team,” Carroll said. “I love the guy on our team. He’s a terrific teammate, he brings character and personality to our team, he’s a dynamic player. I can only see for really cool things to happen in the future. I think it’s going to be a great long-term decision that we made. We’re really happy to have him and miss the heck out of him.” With Graham out, the Seahawks will turn to Luke Willson as the starting tight end. Willson has 12 catches for 152 yards and one touchdown in 10 contests, and his 54 career receptions are 380 fewer than Graham has in his career. However, Carroll stressed that Seattle’s offense won’t change with Graham out. “We’re not going to change,” Carroll said. “It may seem like it, but we didn’t really change when Jimmy got here, in essence. We just wanted to get the football there. We always thought we had the routes and concepts to call on, we just need to put them in position so we could get that done. So we’re not going to change much. I don’t see us changing at all, really.”

Sherman is Man of the Year Cornerback Richard Sherman was recognized Wednesday as the Seahawks’ Man of the Year for his work in the community, as well as his play on the field. The honor makes Sherman eligible of the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Sherman has been heavily involved in community service through his Blanket Coverage foundation, which provides support and encouragement to students in low-income communities. Sherman is also involved in distributing presents to families in need during the holidays, and

“He’s communicating really well,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s really taking command of the line of scrimmage. That’s exactly the point. He was kind of quiet and didn’t assume the responsibility to be verbal and to really reach out. He has done that. (Cable) pointed out to him that that was what was holding him back. He emerged out of that and has become the captain of the front. He’s getting it done. We always thought he had the potential, but we didn’t know if he would tap into it. But he has and it’s obviously been a factor to help us.” The key for Lewis has been taking control verbally. It’s not something that’s come natural for someone who isn’t naturally verbose. “He’s a very quiet guy,” Carroll said. “I think it’s part of his make-up, he’s a quiet kid. I think the confidence we’ve instilled in him, to put him in the spot, has allowed him to elevate and he’s just improved. Everybody has the chance to get better and he did, so good for him.” Said Lewis: “It was a challenge because I don’t really talk much. Pete, I guess he kind of picked up on that. But I just try to come out and do my job, and my job requires me to do a lot of talking. I get out there on the football field and it’s a different story. I can be talkative, I like to get a feel of everybody talking to me. I’m adapting.” It’s an adaptation that was necessary for Lewis. So even though it went again his nature, Lewis worked at becoming a better communicator and being more the take-charge type at the center of Seattle’s line. That work has paid off, both for Lewis and the Seahawks.

he holds his annual Richard Sherman Celebrity Softball Game for charity. “The plan was always to help people, especially off the field,” Sherman said Wednesday. “Coming from the neighborhood I came from, from the upbringing I came from with the family I have, you always feel if you have a dollar you got at least 50 cents you can give somebody and you can really help somebody. I understand every day where my meal is coming from and where I’m going to lay my head at night, and a lot of people don’t have that. So you want to help those people, you want to try your best to give them a chance, treat people how you would want to be treated if you were in their situation.”

Wilson earns player-of-week honors Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week on Wednesday. Wilson went 21-for-30 for 345 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in Seattle’s victory Sunday over Pittsburgh. The five touchdown passes tied a franchise record, and the 345 passing yards were a career high. It was the fifth time Wilson has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week in his four seasons with the Seahawks.

Nowak signed to practice squad The Seahawks brought center Drew Nowak back Wednesday, signing him to their practice squad. Nowak has endured a tumultuous season. He began the campaign as Seattle’s surprise No. 1 center and started the first five games. However, he was benched in place of Patrick Lewis, was left inactive the past three weeks, then was released Tuesday. Nowak cleared waivers, allowing Seattle to sign him to the practice squad. The team released cornerback Douglas McNeil III from the practice squad to make room.

“He understood that was his issue last year,” Cable said. “If you remember last year we put him in some games and actually took him out of the same game because we couldn’t get communicated. I think he’s owned that. I think like everyone he’s developing, he took his offseason seriously in what he needed to do, and he did it.” It all almost fell apart for Lewis just as it was getting started. He was first inserted as Seattle’s starting center in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. However, Lewis suffered an ankle injury that game, which kept him out for two weeks and put Nowak back in the starting lineup. It’s the type of timing athletes dread, with an injury coming just at the point they were about to break through. However, the Seahawks went back to Lewis after he regained his health, and the center position has been Lewis’ ever since. The Seahawks even waived Nowak earlier this week, further endorsing Lewis’ recent play. “I was hurt and it was like it was kind of terrible timing because I finally got a chance to play,” Lewis said. “But fortunately they didn’t take that opportunity away from me just for being hurt and I appreciate that. “I appreciate the opportunity (to start), the coaches trusting and believing in me and letting me get the opportunity to go out there and continue to pursue my dreams of playing in the NFL.” Check out Nick Patterson’s Seattle Sidelines blog at http://www.heraldnet.com/seattlesidelines, and follow him on Twitter at @NickHPatterson.

NFL moving closer to resolving LA situation Herald news services IRVING, Texas — After months of fits and starts, there are strong indications the NFL is moving toward a solution in Los Angeles. At their annual December meeting Wednesday, league owners scheduled a special meeting for next month in Houston in hopes of resolving the two-decade vacancy in the nation’s second-largest market. The St. Louis Rams are proposing a stadium in Inglewood, while the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders are backing a competing plan in Carson. The NFL has set a Dec. 28 deadline for the three home markets — St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland — to make their best and final offers. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league wants “certainty” from those markets. “Certainty means no further votes required, that there are no complications that are unforeseen,” Goodell said. “That this project can be completed. It’s that simple.” By all appearances, St. Louis is the only market able to meet that

deadline. Oakland has no viable plan, and San Diego’s hinges on a public vote that would not take place until later next year. Asked whether San Diego would not be able to meet the deadline, Goodell said: “Certainly appears that’s the case, yes.” Even if a city does submit a viable proposal, that does not guarantee a team would be required to stay. That would be one of many factors owners would consider when determining whether a relocation-minded owner had satisfied the league’s guidelines to move a franchise. Any relocation would require a three-quarters majority approval from the 32 NFL owners, both on whether that franchise met the guidelines and for permission to move. Teams cannot submit relocation applications until Jan. 4. That would provide a condensed window during which owners would evaluate offers from the home markets before the special meeting on Jan. 12-13. “It is musical chairs right now, but that music hasn’t stopped,” said Steve Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants. “A seat has not been removed.”

The first glimmer of a potential compromise has surfaced. Late last week, Rams owner Stan Kroenke sent a letter to the six-owner Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities, saying he would be willing to partner with a second team on the Inglewood stadium. He did not identify a particular team.

Browns pick Davis BEREA, Ohio — Johnny Manziel is still grounded. Benched for bad behavior, Manziel will remain on the sideline after Browns coach Mike Pettine picked quarterback Austin Davis to start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Manziel was recently stripped of his starting job by Pettine after a video surfaced of the second-year quarterback partying in Texas during the team’s bye week. With starter Josh McCown done for the season with a broken collarbone, Pettine had to promote one of his backups and chose Davis, who came off the bench in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s loss to Baltimore.

“She’s such a great point guard,” Hill said. “She really controlled the tempo for us when we were able to get out and run a couple times. She got us out on the fast break and just did a great job defensively tonight.” Glacier Peak struggled against their rivals in the first two quarters, with most of the Grizzlies’ points coming on fastbreaks by Fatkin. They trailed Snohomish 17-10 at the end of a low-scoring first half. “We were down but that didn’t bring us down,” Watkins said. “We knew we had to get fired up. During halftime we all talked to each other and said, ‘Let’s go’ and it all clicked in the second half.” “(Hill) just told us we had to come out and play harder and not settle for anything, because Snohomish doesn’t quit fighting,” Fatkin said. “And we never gave up. We came back as a team in the second half.” In the later quarters it was the Snohomish offense that had difficulties. The Panthers made just two field goals in the fourth quarter as they tried to close the gap after the Grizzlies built up an eightpoint lead. “We’ll shoot better than that normally,” said Snohomish head coach Ken Roberts. “We have some kids that have improved as shooters. That’s what I told our coaches and our kids: teams have to do things to stop us. They have to take away our bigs or they’re going to get killed inside. ... It’s just a matter of making a few of those (shots). “Their girls made plays in the second half,” Roberts continued. “There were some 50-50 rebounds that I thought they beat us to. A lot of it comes down to who’s going to make the plays. I thought in the first half we were all over the boards and then in the second half, (there’s) probably a little fatigue, but with Kayla Watkins posting up our kids have to be real active with her because you’re not going to push her out of there. And they got the ball in to her.” Senior Madison Pollack led Snohomish with 16 points and nine rebounds.

Glacier Peak’s Paisley Johnson (bottom) and Snohomish’s Katie Brandvold scramble for the loose ball during a game Wednesday.

Fellow senior Shaylee Harwood had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds and Madeline Smith added six points and nine rebounds for the Panthers in their season opener. Roberts praised Pollack and said the forward, who was a first-team all-league selection last season, has improved immensely in the offseason. “I think she’s probably improved as much as any player I’ve ever had between her junior and senior year,” Roberts said. “And we’ve had some really big improvement from some kids in those years. But she is going to be a great player for us all year.” Wednesday night’s contest was a fun matchup for both squads — who know each other pretty well — as well as the coaches who also have a history. Hill coached under Roberts at Snohomish for three years before taking the job at Glacier Peak. “It’s definitely a really fun game,” Watkins said. “It’s a rivalry game and it’s always fun to play them. As a team, we all respect them.” “It’s so fun. I love playing against Snohomish,” Fatkin added. “We respect them a lot and we don’t like to lose to them. So, we knew we had to win tonight.”

Away for the holidays This year’s Assistance League tour includes a beautiful north Everett B&B By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Tour grand homes. Indulge in frikadellers. Schmooze with Santa. Get decorating ideas for your home ... and the perfect place to house visiting relatives. Find it all on the Dec. 7 “Home for the Holidays Tour” by Assistance League of Everett. “We have chefs in three of the homes,” said tour spokeswoman Chris Clements. “We will have a boutique with garden art, clothing, jewelry. Lots of hostess gifts. Lots of neat ideas.” Restaurants represented on the tour are Buck’s American Cafe in Everett, LJ’s Bistro and Bar in Lake Stevens and Pioneer Farms Grill. Eats include whiskey syrup, cream cheese appetizers and Danish meatballs (aka frikadellers). There will be a champagne tasting with rosemary cashews hosted by Wicked Cellars. The self-guided tour in historic north Everett has six private

Assistance League

Assistance League of Everett’s Home for the Holidays Tour, noon to 7 p.m. Dec. 7. Tickets: $25 advance, $30 day of tour. On tour day, tickets can be purchased from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Assistance League of Everett Thrift Store, 5107 Evergreen Way, Everett, or from noon to 7 p.m. at Bayside Bed & Breakfast, 2201 Rucker, Everett. For more information, call 425252-3011 or go to www. assistanceleagueofeverett.org. homes and Bayside Bed & Breakfast. The 4,400-square-foot Historic Registry home on Rucker Avenue is an enchanting and relaxing getaway. The bedrooms for guests are named Bayside, Seascape, Sunset and Serenity. “I live in the servant’s quarter,”

Assistance League of Everett operates a thrift shop at 5107 Evergreen Way. The store has clothes, toys, linens, books and household decor at bargain prices. The store is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Bayside owner Carol Miller said. Miller bought the house five years ago as a rental investment, choosing it for its “good bones,” she said. When the economy hurt her bookkeeping business, she gently booted out the occupants (her daughter and her sister) and set

First tin toys included dancers

he tango was introduced in Argentina about 1902, but didn’t become the latest dance craze until about 1916. It spread to Paris, the United States and Europe, and remained a favorite until the 1920s. The tango was popular in upper-class dance parlors and has gone in and out of favor. Early tango dances were very daring, and in some countries they were restricted by law. But dancing couples were among the first windup tin toys for children in the 1800s. Around 1916, a

dancing toy with figures of a man in tails and an elegant woman in a pink dress was made by the German Gunthermann Company (1877-1965). Wind the key hidden under the woman’s dress, and the couple dances in random patterns. Although the toy was sold in a box labeled “Tango,” it is sometimes called the “Waltzing Couple” or the “Dancing Couple.” The toy, in excellent condition with the box, sold at a James Julia auction in Maine in June 2015 for $3,851.

other dancing couple toys have been made. In the 1930s, there was a Japanese key wind 6-inch-tall celluloid toy by Masudaya. The woman has a red dress. The toy sells today for about $40. In the 1960s, a Japanese company, Tokyo Plaything Shokai, made a dancing toy for Hikari Toy Products. The figures are tin with vinyl heads and the woman has a blue dress. It sells for about $360 to $400. The idea continued, and modern dancing toys have modern clothes, the latest dances, music and

A: Mud figures are small partially glazed pottery figures made in China in the 20th century. They originally were made for fish tanks or planters. Most figures are of farmers, scholars, workers or merchants. Other pieces are trees, houses and similar parts of the landscape. The figures have unglazed See KOVEL, Page D3

It’s cold and blustery, but still plenty to do N

ow that the tryptophan from Thanksgiving has worked its way out of our systems, we can get back to cleaning up our gardens after the big wind storm a few weeks ago and the recent freeze. We can be thankful that we didn’t have to deal with snow — although snow is actually a gardener’s friend. Here are some things to do when you find yourself going stir-crazy: General cleanup. With the recent hard freeze, it’s safe to say that summer annuals can be removed and perennials can be cut back. Most leaves are now down, so either rake them into the beds and

leaves under fruit trees to prevent the spread of diseases. If you have had issues with scab and mildew and worms then one or two applications of Bonide Orchard Spray (contains sulfur and pyrethrum, both natural products) on one of winter’s nice days will help. Monterey Copper and Oil is another option that has a low toxicity. These products are great for all deciduous plants, not just fruit trees. Spray once this month and again in early February. Pruning. For the most part, save your pruning for the month of February after the hard freezes have passed. Of course there’s

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER leave them until February (whatever nutrients are in them will be leached into the soil) or rake them up and follow up with a fresh 1-inch layer of mulch (EB Stone Organics bales of compost are easy and convenient unless you can go bulk). Disease and insect control. Clean up all

GREAT PLANT PICK What: Cryptomeria japonica, or “Black Dragon,” is one of the most variable conifers you can imagine — with plants ranging from very dwarf rounded shrubs, trees with golden or contorted leaves, and wild forest trees to 80 feet high and 20 feet wide. “Black Dragon” takes the middle road, neither too small nor too big. It has the deep green, needle-like leaves characteristic of this species. This very dark-foliaged conifer is easy to grow and combines well with plants having larger or variegated leaves. Where: This slow growing Japanese cedar thrives in full sun to dappled shade. It prefers a site with welldrained soil, but it will tolerate sandy or clay soils. During dry weather provide occasional watering. It needs very little pruning. Young

nothing wrong with a little light pruning any time of the year, but hard-core pruning is best left until February. Tidy up your hedges, cut back the perennials and hold off on the rest. As gardeners we often have the urge to clean up the first chance we get, but by leaving things alone until February we can help protect the garden from really hard freezes. Also by leaving our beds “messy,” it gives the birds something to rustle through as they look for insects and seeds. Winter protection. Watch weather forecasts and be ready for when the temperature drops below 20 degrees. Move containers close to the house or

even into the garage for a few days. Cover tender plants in the garden with some kind of material that will hold in heat, be it a wool blanket or a commercial frost fabric. Even a loosened bale of straw or pile of twigs and leaves will help. Leave the protection on the plant until more moderate temperatures, then remove so the plant can breathe. Also, be sure to drain your bird baths and fountains so they don’t break. Lawns. It’s a slow time for lawns, but they will benefit from a late application of lime and an organic fertilizer like EB Stone Organics Nature’s Green. Watch for diseases like

red thread and treat with Bonide Infuse. Keep off the grass when it is frozen. Planting. Yes Virginia, it’s OK to plant this time of year, as long as the ground isn’t frozen or so saturated that the hole fills with water all on its own. You can find a surprising array of plant material in garden centers this time of year, including many that are actually blooming. Don’t be afraid to go looking for some new treasures and remember you can still plant bulbs all the way until the end of the year.

A wise person once said that human warmth is the only completely free and renewable energy source. However, with The United State’s winter temperatures, we can all agree that additional sources of heat are necessary if we want to stay warm in our homes.

GET READY FOR WINTER

2. Heat pump Central or wall-mounted heat pumps are a great choice for people who love cozy warmth throughout their homes. These appliances are doubly advantageous, as they circulate warm air during the winter and act as air conditioners in the summer.

Various types of heat sources and heating systems can increase your home’s comfort. Why deprive yourself? Hardware

4. Stove or fireplace A variety of inexpensive and eco-responsible stoves and fireplaces are available on the market as primary heating sources or for providing extra heat. Whether they’re powered by electricity, propane or pellets, they add warmth to your decor, both literally and figuratively.

1. Insulation First of all, a properly insulated house protects you from drafts and exorbitant heating bills. So, before temperatures drop, make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed. Repair or replace any damaged caulking or weather stripping.

Some gift ideas for the gardener in your life By William Hageman and Beth Botts Chicago Tribune

There is no shortage of trowels, hoses and birdhouses out there just waiting to be wrapped up for your favorite gardener. Following is a varied selection of gift ideas, from simple to a splurge and practical to indulgent. Zen garden. Luludi Living Art has taken the idea of a small, traditional Zen garden and expanded it by adding an air plant (Tillandsia), which requires little maintenance — no direct sun and a quick spritz of water each week. Each mini-garden creates a portable oasis for the home or office. There are several Zen garden designs that can be tailored to a person’s preferences. Priced from $40 to $65. www.luludi.net Jeffersonian rain gauge. From Conant’s Vermont Collection comes a striking float-and-lever rain gauge inspired by the mechanical inventions of Thomas Jefferson. As rain fills a glass vial, the float rises and a pointer registers the rainfall amount. Made of solid brass, stainless steel, glass and wood, it stands 42 inches high and 121⁄2 inches wide. $154.99, www.conantcollections. com Spring chickens. Every gardener needs waterproof boots, and these from Sloggers will put a spring in your step. Cheerful chickens bustle all over this bright yellow pair, which also have more practical features such as traction and a removable insole. Daffodil Yellow Chicken Print boots, $39.99, www. sloggers.com Heated hoodie. Odious tasks such as working in the yard or shoveling snow are often made worse by the bulky clothes one must wear.

Price depends on size, condition and interest in the design. They sell online and at auctions for about $10 to more than $100. Q: I collect memorabilia connected with movie cowboys including Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy and Tom Mix. A friend who moved here from Australia gave me his childhood collection, a box of Hopalong games and ads. None were items I have seen. Many were made in Australia. Were his movies seen in Australia? When? A: Hopalong Cassidy was a character in 28 books, starting in 1907. The character was in movies from 1934 to 1948. Sixtysix films were made. In 1948 William Boyd, the most famous star who played Hopalong, bought the television rights to the character from the author and the producer of the Hopalong Cassidy films. He later made 52 new TV shows. That gave him the ability to license the name to hundreds of products around the world. He toured Australia in 1954 so it is not surprising that later in the 1950s Australian companies made board games, many types of candy often in collectible boxes or wrappers, Hoppy Cola (a drink), cake

Man resists exclusive relationship

DAILY CROSSWORD

Dear Carolyn: I have been seeing a guy who seems perfect for me. Maybe. He’s a bit different from men I’ve dated in the past, but shares major goals in life with me. After about six weeks of spending every bit of free time with each other, I suggested exclusivity. Although he’s not dating anyone else, he declined. He feels he falls into exclusive relationships too easily and early. And he’s new to town, so I worry there’s a real factor of relying too much on me for his main social support. So, I think I’m OK with the not-exclusive-but-in-actualityexclusive framework here. I think? But not really. I’d be very unhappy if he were to date someone else. So what should I do? I don’t want to stop seeing him over this. I understand his hesitation. But the idea of spending so much time with someone in a “relationship” that is so ill-posed bothers me. Obviously we need to talk, but I don’t know what subjects to start with. — Not Exclusive (But I Spend All My Time With Him) Do you need to talk? I’m not so sure. It’s like writing; if you don’t know where to start, that usually means you don’t know what you

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT want to say. From here it appears he’s already repeated his favorite mistake, and just wants to think it’s different this time — or build a more brightly lit pathway out. When words and deeds are so mismatched that you don’t know what to believe, you actually know something really important: that he lacks credibility. He’s lying to someone, either to you or to himself. That’s plenty to act on. You can believe his actions and keep seeing him as much as you want, since he’ll sort himself out eventually — or, at the other extreme, you can believe his words and stop seeing him altogether, because you don’t need equivocation, newin-town dependency or people who don’t want you. Or you can go the middle route, where you just decide to trust

yourself. That’s when you enjoy his company while you have it, and don’t kid yourself that it’s anything more than he says it is. This warrants the emotional discipline, though, to maintain a full life independent of him even as you keep hanging out. Since that’s what he says he should be doing now anyway, even as he fails to do it — and since it’s a reasonable bit of selfpreservation for anyone swept up in a budding romance — you can frame it as exercising rational restraint for both of you. See your other friends, keep feeding other interests you have, restore a few things to your schedule that you dropped to make room for him. And no, this isn’t playing hard to get or following Rules or some other form of manipulation. It’s merely taking him at his word that this relationship isn’t what you had hoped, and adopting a temperate Plan B. If you’d like to go this middle route, then it’s up to you whether you tell him so. It wouldn’t be dishonest to keep this to yourself as you see how things play out, but if you’d like him to know where you stand, then there you go — that’s the subject for your talk.

Rockin’ dad rolls in and out of son’s life Dear Abby: When I was 19 and played bass in a rock band, I fell in love with a guy I’ll call “Brian.” He was three years older and also a musician. We had the best times together — we were young and wild without a care in the world. But the years rolled on and we got older. After six years together, I got pregnant. I thought Brian would be thrilled, but he wasn’t. It changed how I felt about him. I was heartbroken and lost respect for him. I grew up fast, and put our son, “Ricky,” first. Brian, on the other hand, has refused to give up his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. He shows up to see Ricky two or three times a month, but doesn’t even look at him. I can’t stand the way he ignores our son. Brian says I can’t alter who and how he is. I say, if we mattered to him, he would change on his own. This leads to arguments. Which is worse — having my son grow up with an absent father who’s not “present” even when he’s here? Or Ricky seeing us fight all the time, but leaving the option for Brian to be a part of his life? Or should I get my ex out of our lives for good, and risk resentment from Ricky because I moved on with our lives? — Fully Formed Adult In L.A. Dear Fully Formed: If Brian didn’t care about Ricky, he wouldn’t show up two or three times a month. What strikes me as sad, however, is that he apparently doesn’t know how to relate to his son. Rather than exclude him entirely, stop the arguing and suggest that he and Ricky would both get more out of the visitations if he enrolled in a parenting class for fathers. Tell him that for the sake of Ricky’s emotional well-being, you would RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: My 15-yearold son, “Todd,” has started seeing a girl he goes to school with. “Winona” seems to be a nice girl from a good family. However, my son confided that her parents (mostly the mom) have started asking him all sorts of questions like, “I thought you were a good student. Why aren’t you on the honor roll?” “Do you keep your room clean?” “Would you change for our daughter?” Todd is a good kid and a good student (A’s and B’s mostly.) He has strong morals, lots of friends and is a typical teen. He isn’t asking for that girl’s hand in marriage! It’s their first “boyfriend/girlfriend” relationship. They just like each other. Is the mom out of line, or am I being too sensitive? — Dumbfounded Dad In Illinois Dear Dad: Because this is her daughter’s first boyfriend, the mother may ask these questions because she’s protective, and it’s her way of trying to get to know your son better. Please try not to take what’s happening so seriously, because she’d probably ask the same questions if Prince Harry were seeing her daughter.

And so she goes: Ellerbee retiring By David Bauder Associated Press

Linda Ellerbee, a veteran newswoman who wrote an irreverent best-seller about her time on television and built a second career at Nickelodeon explaining tough stories to youngsters, says that she’s signing off the air for good. Ellerbee, 71, said Tuesday she’s retiring from TV after Nickelodeon airs a onehour retrospective of her work Dec. 15. “It’s really nice to be one of the few who walks away from television news on their own time and of their own choice and I’m really lucky in that,” she said. “That really didn’t happen for so many of my contemporaries, didn’t happen because of age or cutbacks in news. ... I go smiling.” The outspoken Texan and multiple award winner was among the first prominent women in TV news and a model for the sitcom character Murphy Brown after actress Candice Bergen studied her work. Ellerbee — and later Murphy Brown — survived breast cancer. Ellerbee began a television news career after being fired by The Associated Press in 1972. On the night desk in Dallas, she wrote a gossipy letter to a friend that was inadvertently sent on the wire to three states. A news director at Houston’s KHOU-TV saw it, thought Ellerbee was a funny writer, and hired her. She quickly moved on to local news in New York and then NBC, where

she covered politics and co-hosted the prime-time newsmagazine “Weekend” with Lloyd Dobyns. She hosted weekly news segments on the “Today” show and, later, “Good Morning America.” Her network news highlight came in the wee hours when she and Dobyns wrote and co-hosted the nightly news program “Overnight” from 1984 to 1986 on NBC. When honored by the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards, judges called it “possibly the best-written and most intelligent news program ever.” “There’s never been

anything plastic or blowdried about Linda,” said Cheryl Gould, a creator and senior broadcast producer on “Overnight.” “She has always been the antithesis of your stereotypical, perfectly coiffed anchorwoman. Her emotions are not manufactured for the on-air effect. Linda is as real as they come.” Ellerbee’s 1986 book, “And So it Goes” — named for her signature sign-off — was climbing the best-seller lists when she was told her contract would not be renewed. “I wrote it predicated on the assumption that my bosses at NBC News had a

sense of humor,” she said. “I turned out to be wrong on that.” After a stop at ABC, Ellerbee and partner Rolfe Tessem opened a production company and what became their biggest job happened by chance. The new kids’ network Nickelodeon asked her to make a show explaining to youngsters the U.S. war with Iraq in the early 1990s. She was Nick News head for 25 years, making programs tied to events like the 2001 terrorist attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing and Hurricane Katrina. The show delved into social issues like same-sex marriage and AIDS. She won Emmys for shows on AIDS, children of alcoholics, kids living with cancer, the adjustment of parents returning from war, autism and ethnic cleansing. After a decade of trying, she produced a special this year with dying children talking to their peers. The guiding philosophy was not to talk down to young viewers. Children in a wired world are aware of news events, but might not always have reliable information, she said. “The days are long past, if they ever existed, where kids live in some happy little childhood protected by elves and fairies,” she said. While leaving television, Ellerbee said she’ll continue to write and travel. “I can hold my head up, look in the mirror and I didn’t have to be ashamed of anything I ever did or wrote,” she said. “I fought some battles and I won some and lost some. But I get to walk out the door and look back feeling good about it.”
