Medic One donors sought Firefighters sharpen their skills at the paramedic school in Seattle. The foundation that runs the program is seeking money for training, which costs $25,000 per person.

stranger had shot his brother.

His story changed after his father arrived home and confronted him. The teen allegedly admitted that he accidentally fired the gun.

He told detectives that he kept the weapon under his mattress but that day he tucked the gun and five bullets into a pocket in his pants.

EVERETT — Every year, a handful of Snohomish County firefighters attend paramedic school at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

They learn advanced emergency medical skills, including how to insert breathing tubes and intravenous needles. The training costs $25,000 per person. The medical textbooks alone can run $1,000.

For decades, the Medic One Foundation has covered those bills. Now, the King Countybased nonprofit is seeking new donors. The current class of medics, set to graduate next year, has three students from the Everett Fire Department. That’s $75,000, said Jan Sprake, the foundation’s executive director. There also are folks in training from Arlington, Camano Island, Lynnwood and Marysville.

“Every year we start a class, we start over with our campaigns,” she said. “The need now is becoming more pressing.”

Medical emergencies make up the majority of calls for fire departments these days. At Snohomish County Fire District 7 in Clearview, that’s about 80 percent of daily business.

Donations to the foundation help local medics provide quality care, said Scott Dorsey, who oversees medical services for District 7. That includes their “saves rates” — the percentage of successful resuscitations after heart attacks.

District 7 firefighter John Rouse, 27, attended last year’s paramedic school, which included an anatomy course.

He’s now working as a medic in the district, under a six-month term of direct supervision.

“The knowledge and the skills we learn down there are very broad,” Rouse said. “It’s quite a

Future of Flight officials’ plan: More space, more exhibits

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — The Future of Flight Aviation Center is turning 10 years old and is headed for a growth spurt.

Its leadership has bold plans

to make the center as big a draw as its other half, the Boeing factory tour. The two have been packaged together since the center opened in December 2005.

The plans include adding exhibit and event space inside

the center, increasing and improving the exhibits, and expanding educational programs. That will take money, $12 million “at a minimum,” said Bonnie Hilory, executive director of the Future of Flight Foundation. The nonprofit

group runs the center.

When she joined the group two years ago, several critical institutional pieces were missing, she said. “Everybody had See FLIGHT, back page, this section

Teen pleads not guilty to shooting charges Herald Writer

EVERETT — Moments before an 11-year-old Everett boy was shot in the face he told his older brother to stop messing around with the .38-caliber revolver the teen kept hidden under his mattress.

After the shooting, the 15-yearold allegedly told Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives he

Prosecutors on Wednesday charged the teen with thirddegree assault and illegal gun possession, both felonies. He pleaded not guilty to the charges

His brother is expected to survive his injuries.

Ringo, wife selling ‘stuff’ at auction Teen

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — When a Beatle decides to clean out his closets, odds are the outcome will be a cooler-than-average yard sale.

Sure enough, as Ringo Starr and his wife, actress Barbara Bach, swept through Julien’s Auctions house in Beverly Hills this week for one more look at all the “stuff” they’ve decided to sell off for charity, jaws dropped at the lifetime’s worth of objects — more than 1,300 — that the couple have collected.

Rouse fought fires for about six years. He wanted to be able to do more to make sick people feel better, he said.

If his tuition wasn’t covered — all 2,700 hours of training — it would have come out of the fire district’s budget.

Not every fire department could afford that, he said.

Meanwhile, the classes are getting bigger, and donations haven’t bounced back from the economic collapse, Sprake said.

awards for Starr’s recordings with the Fab Four and on his own distinctive outfits he’s worn on stage and while hanging out with his superstar rock pals, a plethora of Beatles collectibles — Ringo’s “Yellow Submarine” lunch box and thermos, anyone?

— Ringo rings and other jewelry and, perhaps most tantalizing to Beatles fans around the world, numerous musical instruments, a few among the most iconic in the history of popular music.

The latter include Starr’s signature Ludwig drum kit with “The Beatles” logo on the bass drum head, which has

a pre-auction estimate of $300,000 to $500,000, and two guitars formerly owned and played by bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison. Lennon’s 1964 Rickenbacker electric is expected to fetch $600,000 to $800,000, and Harrison’s 1962 Gretsch “Chet Atkins” Tennessean model is estimated to sell for $100,000 to $200,000.

Then there is Starr’s copy of the band’s 1968 double album “The Beatles,” commonly referred to as the White Album for its plain white cover, with only the group’s name embossed in raised letters and the serial number stamped into each copy

They tend to stay in the job for 20 or 30 years. A lot of the longtime paramedics now are approaching retirement age.

“What we’re hearing from EMS and fire departments around the region, they anticipate this growing need over the next few years,” Sprake said.

At the Everett Fire Department, the Medic One Foundation has paid for 55 firefighters to become paramedics — nearly every Everett medic since 1982, said Tim Key, the division chief of emergency medical services.

“We’ve never had to pay tuition,” he said.

Right now, Everett has 34 medics, and all but one attended the school at Harborview with Medic One scholarships.

“We always know we’re

getting top-quality paramedic training when we get them back,” Key said.

At the Marysville district, about three-quarters of the medics have gone through the same program, said Terry Matsumura, who oversees medical services there. He counts 19 Marysville medics since 1995. Of those, 15 still are working for the district.

Marysville crews make a point of attending Medic One’s annual fundraising luncheon, Matsumura said.

Each scholarship “helps a great deal,” he said. “That enables us to be able to backfill that employee while they’re gone, and it saves us money in other areas.”

Even fire departments that don’t send a lot of students to Harborview

He allegedly admitted that he was playing with the gun and placed a live round in the pistol’s cylinder. He spun the cylinder and pulled the trigger. The gun didn’t fire.

That’s when his younger brother told him to stop playing around. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” the boy said.

The teen pulled the trigger two more times. On the third attempt, the gun went off.

He allegedly told police that he wasn’t looking where the barrel was pointed.

“He stated he was surprised when the gun actually fired and did not realize the round had struck his brother in the face until (the boy) grabbed his face in pain,” Foster wrote.

He allegedly told detectives that his younger brother was the only one in the home who knew about the weapon.

The teen “admitted that he knows guns can kill or injure someone,” Foster wrote.

He was shot in the chest in August during a drive-by shooting. The bullet perforated the boy’s heart, according to court documents.

He and three other young people were driving around Aug. 16, looking for Juan Beteran-Monrroy.

They planned to beat him up in retaliation for a gangrelated beef, according to court papers.

The group ended up stopped at a light next to him.

Beteran-Monrroy allegedly placed a militarystyle rifle on top of his car and pointed it at the victims. The group threw a knife and metal baseball bat at Beteran-Monrroy. They sped away and BeteranMonrroy gave chase. He is accused of shooting at the pickup truck.

The 15-year-old was struck near the armpit and began coughing up blood.

Beteran-Monrroy, 18, is charged with first-degree assault and drive-by shooting. He remains jailed on $500,000 bail.

Court papers don’t say if the teen was motivated by fear to purchase the revolver.

Supreme Court to hear sovereignty case

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

TULALIP — Officials at the Tulalip Tribes will have their eyes on Washington, D.C., Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court takes up a case that has significant ramifications for sovereignty for every Native American tribe in the United States.

If the court rules one way, it could severely limit the tribes’ ability to enforce its contracts with nonnative businesses on the reservation in tribal court.

In addition, the effect of such a decision could affect the rights of Native American crime victims seeking redress through civil courts.

The case is Dollar General Corporation v. Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. The Tulalip Tribes have joined the National Congress of American Indians and 55 other tribes and tribal organization asking the court to rule in the Choctaws’ favor.

It’s so important that representatives from many tribes, including Tulalip Board

Member Bonnie Juneau, plan a demonstration on the steps of the Supreme Court on Monday and to march around the U.S. Capitol building.

The key legal issue is whether tribal governments have the authority to bring civil litigation against a nontribal corporation that operates a business on an Indian reservation.

But the ramifications of the case are much more wide-ranging. In this case, a nontribal manager at a Dollar General store on the Choctaw reservation in

2003 was alleged to have sexually abused a 13-year-old tribal member who was an intern at the store.

The Tulalip Tribes also have an internship program that sometimes places tribal youth in nontribal businesses, such as those in the Quil Ceda Village shopping center.

“At the heart of this case is our inherent right as tribes to self-governance,” Tulalip chairman Mel Sheldon Jr. said in a statement. “The Dollar General Corporation seeks to evade

tribal civil jurisdiction after the fact. We find it surprising the case has made it to the Supreme Court given federal policy and precedents in case law that have clearly sought to promote tribal self-governance and economic development.”

Criminal charges were not filed in the Choctaw case, so the victim’s parents filed a civil suit in tribal court against both the manager and the store. Dollar General then sued the tribe in federal See TRIBE, Page A4

Holiday ‘ shopping’ in full swing at Christmas House

hannon Cortes stopped her shopping cart at a table labeled “Teen Large Gifts.”

Taking her time, the Everett mom examined a pair of boots. On opening day at Christmas House, she was picking out that special something and more for her two children.

There’s little money in her budget for presents, but Cortes’ 13-year-old son and 14-yearold daughter will have gifts this Christmas. Thursday was the first “shopping” day in a gym at the Everett Boys & Girls Club, which houses the charity each holiday season.

Now marking its 35th year, the nonprofit Christmas House provides gifts for Snohomish County families in need. There are free gifts for infants through 18-yearolds — stocking stuffers, hats or gloves, and large items including skateboards and bikes.

“I got a game system for my kids to share. I’m really appreciative of that,” Cortes said. She said that in June she lost a restaurant job she’d had for eight years. One of her children had a medical issue that had her taking more time off than her employer

JULIE MUHLSTEIN allowed, she said.

Dozens of parents, who brought income-qualifying documentation, made their way through the makeshift shopping center on its first day. Staffed by a bustling crew of Christmas House volunteers, the gym is divided into the shop and a large storage area, where boxes of toys and rows of refurbished bicycles are kept for restocking.

Everett’s Sylvia May, a Christmas House volunteer for 16 years, said about 200 families are helped each day. Christmas House will be open through Dec. 19.

Each parent, steering a shopping cart, is accompanied by a volunteer who escorts the shopper to tables where gifts

STEVENS PASS — The mountain resort here planned to kick off the 2015-16 ski season by opening some beginner terrain Friday.

Skiers and snowboarders can ride runs off Daisy chairlift, the rope tow and rail park and a magic carpet from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

The resort will continue to open runs and trails as snow falls. Alysa Hetze, a spokeswoman for Stevens Pass, said it’s hard to say when intermediate and advanced terrain will open, but the forecast indicates that more snow is on the way.

Workers this year used a new snowmaking machine to cover chair-lift ramps, a task that in the past had been a challenge in readying the mountain for opening day, said spokesman Chris Danforth.

Slightly below average snowfall is forecast this season. Weather models show a warmer El Nino pattern this winter.

“It’s still going to be leaps and bounds better than last year,” Danforth said. “Last year was historical. It was the lowest snowfall ever.”

During an average season, Stevens Pass is open about 130 days and receives 460 inches of snow. Last winter, it was only open 87 days and had 184 inches of snow. That meant dismal revenue for the ski area and many businesses along U.S. 2 that depend on mountain traffic.

Danforth said he researched snow totals at Stevens Pass during El Nino years dating back to 1951. He found that the amount of snow varied widely.

During the last season with a similar forecast, the winter of 1997-98, the ski area saw 466 inches of snowfall, he said.

That’s just above the mountain’s average.

The resort has 10 chair lifts on 1,125 acres. It’s known for backcountry access, too.

People are asked to ride with caution and keep out of closed areas, which might have hazards due to limited snow.

of non-Indians.”

Nontribal businesses often operate on many Indian reservations under contracts in which they consent to tribal jurisdiction. That’s the case with both Choctaw and Tulalip, and those agreements have had the support of the law since a 1981 Supreme Court decision.

According to the brief from the National Congress and other tribal groups, if the court rules in favor of Dollar General, tribal members could lose the ability to sue nontribal people or businesses without their express consent, despite the terms of those agreements.

That consent would never be given, the brief states.

court, arguing that the tribal court did not have jurisdiction to bring the suit against the company.

The Tulalip brief notes that tribes often turn to tribal courts to pursue civil remedies because tribal courts are generally prohibited from bringing criminal charges against nontribal members.

The problem for many tribes, said Michelle Demmert, reservation attorney for the Tulalip Tribes, “is that they are in rural areas and they lack a strong nontribal police presence to govern the conduct

ages 7 to 15 and people older than 70, the price is $15. Children younger than 7 ski free. Prices will increase as terrain is added.

Season passes for those 16 to 69 will remain priced

“In no other jurisdiction would accountability for such heinous acts be conditioned on the express consent of the perpetrator, and for obvious reasons,” the brief says.

Indian tribes already have a tough time enforcing laws against nontribal perpetrators.

Criminal cases routinely get referred to outside courts.

For example, Demmert said, there have been about 850 police calls on the Tulalip reservation so far this year, 60 percent of which involved non-Indian perpetrators. Almost all of those cases must be filed with Snohomish County, or in the case with certain major crimes, with the U.S. District Court.

of the tribe, and the Fifth Circuit upheld that decision after Dollar General appealed.

In May, the U.S. Solicitor General filed a brief to the Supreme Court arguing that the appeals court ruling should stand, stating that tribal courts clearly had jurisdiction under the precedent and that there was no conflict among circuit courts on the issue that warrants the Supreme Court to review it. The Supreme Court decided to hear the case anyway.

Oral arguments are scheduled for Monday, with a ruling expected sometime next year.

Tulalip prosecutors have filed just 11 criminal charges in tribal court against nine non-Indian defendants, she said.

That is only because the Tulalips are part of a program that allows them to prosecute domestic violence cases against nontribal members under the Violence Against Women Act. The Tulalips were one of the first tribes in the U.S. to pilot that program.

That power is limited to charging intimate partners of the victims, and only the domestic violence charge can be tried, Demmert said. Any other charges related to the case, such as assault on a child or threats, have to be referred to an outside court.

Mae Eartha Brooks

James J. Emborg, age 76, of Lake Stevens, Wash. passed away Friday November 13, 2015, with family in Polson, Montana.

He first worked in Billings and t h e n m ove d to M i s s o u l a , Mont. in 1966 before moving to Bellevue, Wash. in 1968.

T h o m a s “ To m ” W a y n e Sprague passed away peacefully at home after a sudden illness of pancreatic c a n c e r o n N ove m b e r 24 , 2015, in Stanwood, Washington at the age of 66.

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.

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).

Beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Verna Kathleen Stearns slipped away to join the angels on November 7, 2015.

One of seven children, she i s s u r v i v e d b y a s i s t e r, Julienne and brother. Orville.

S h e g r a d u a t e d f r o m Bellingham High School in 1945 and married Roger A. Stearns in 1946. They left Bellingham for Centralia, Wash. and later settled in E v e r e t t , Wa s h . i n 1 9 5 4 .

Verna and Roger were married for fifty-nine years until his passing in 2005.

They rest together at Evergreen Cemeter y in Everett.

Always ready with a hug, a lap and a story, she will be deeply missed by her six In Loving Memory children, Dennis, Steven, Michael Paul Tanis Karen, Greg, Randy and May 16, 1946- Dec. 4, 2012 Shelley and their spouses; Poppy ten grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

“Have you read this book?

It’s a good one.” Taking his advice, the Mukilteo mom put a “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book in her cart.

“It’s heartwarming,” Wyatt said later. “I was always fortunate to get things for Christmas.”

To qualify for Christmas House, household income must be at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. Designated by the Department of Health and Human Services, the poverty level for a family of three is $20,090 per year or less; for Christmas House, a three-person household can earn no more than $30,135 annually, or $2,511 per month.

Greg Milne, retired from the Snohomish County PUD, is the new president of Christmas House after volunteering for several years.

“Christmas House is pretty much a year-round thing,” said Milne, explaining that toy buying for next year will mostly happen just after this Christmas to take advantage of sales.

This season, Christmas House is expected to provide 55,000 gifts to about 9,000 children.

Approximately 85 percent of the charity’s funding comes from grants, Milne said. Donations of cash and toys help with the rest. Donations of new toys still are being accepted for this year.

It’s a big operation, and quite a change from Christmas House’s modest start in 1981. That’s when Roy Fraser created Christmas House in his garage. Stocked mostly with refurbished used toys and handmade gifts, it served about 100 children that first year. Fraser, who died not long after founding the charity, left a legacy that has brought cheer to thousands of families.

Volunteers also are filled with holiday spirit. Randi Norwick and Heather Duffy, nursing students at Everett Community College, were happy to spend precious free time bagging presents for shoppers Thursday.

Lynee MacMaster, a Marysville mother of three boys and a girl, was volunteering after being helped

by Christmas House a year ago. “I was overwhelmed last year,” she said. “This year I remembered my promise to myself. I came Monday and helped set up for opening day.”

From her years of volunteering, May recalled seeing the joy of parents able to give wished-for gifts. “Sometimes it’s just a simple thing. One mother said her little girl just wanted a baseball mitt,” she said.

“To me, this is Christmas,” May said.

Background checks rejected JAE HONG / ASSOCIATED PRESS

An investigator looks at a black SUV on Thursday that was involved in a police shootout with suspects in San Bernardino, California.

WASHINGTON — After three years of study and debate, Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military Thursday to open all military jobs to women, removing the final barriers that kept women from serving in combat, including the most dangerous and grueling commando posts.

His landmark decision rebuffed requests by the Marine Corps to exclude women from certain infantry and combat jobs and signaled a formal recognition that thousands of women served, and many were wounded or killed, in the past 14 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We are a joint force, and I have decided to make a

A polarized Senate voted Thursday against expanding background checks for more gun purchases, rejecting the proposal a day after the latest U.S. mass shooting left 14 people dead in California. Thursday’s mostly party-line 50-48 vote, which followed the Senate’s defeat of other firearms curbs, underscored that political gridlock over the issue remains formidable in Washington, even amid a rash of highly publicized U.S. shootings and last month’s terror attack in Paris.

as a potential act of terror but had reached no conclusion that it was. The official said Farook’s contacts online did not involve any significant players the FBI knew of and dated back some time, with there was no immediate indication of a recent surge in communication.

The official cautioned that such contact by itself doesn’t mean someone is a terrorist.

Rita Katz, director of SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that tracks and analyzes extremists, said it hasn’t found any connection between Farook and jihadi groups.

But she also said that some of Farook’s social media posts seem to have been deleted before the attack.

Wednesday’s rampage was the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since 2012, when 26 children and adults were slain in Newtown, Connecticut.

In San Bernardino, a Southern California city of 214,000, the victims ranged in age from 26 to 60. A further 21 people were injured, including two police officers, authorities said.

Two of the wounded remained in critical condition Thursday. Nearly all the dead and wounded were county employees.

Authorities said the attack was carefully planned.

“There was obviously a mission here. We know that. We do not know why. We don’t know if this was the intended target or if there was something

that triggered him to do this immediately,” David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said as the bureau took over the investigation.

No criminal record Farook has no known criminal record, Burguan said. He was born in Chicago to a Pakistani family, raised in Southern California and worked at San Bernardino County’s Department of Public Health for two stints totaling four years since 2010, according to authorities and acquaintances. The Saudi Embassy said he traveled to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2014 for nine days.

As for Malik, she came to the U.S. in July 2014 on a Pakistani passport and a fiancée visa, authorities said. To get the visa, immigrants submit to an interview and biometric and background checks — screening intended to identify anyone who might pose a threat.

They were married Aug. 16, 2014, in nearby Riverside County, according to their marriage license. Both listed their religion as Muslim.

The couple had a 6-monthold daughter whom they dropped with relatives Wednesday before the shooting.

Adam Lankford, a criminal justice professor at the University of Alabama, said his review of mass public shootings in the U.S. indicates this is the first one in recent history involving a male-female team.

Farook was a devout Muslim who prayed every day and recently memorized the

Quran, according to brothers Nizaam and Rahemaan Ali, who attended Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah mosque in San Bernardino with Farook.

Rahemaan Ali said he last saw Farook three weeks ago, when he abruptly stopped going to the mosque. Ali said Farook seemed happy and his usual self, and the brothers never saw a violent side.

“He never ever talked about killing people or discussed politics, or said that he had problems at work,” Rahemaan Ali said. “He always had a smile on his face.”

Federal authorities said Farook legally bought two handguns used in the massacre and their two assault rifles were legally bought by someone else. Authorities did not say how the rifles got into the attackers’ hands.

Farook apparently was no stranger to guns.

A profile on a matchmaking website for South Asians that matched Farook’s name, California hometown, county health job and Muslim faith, said his interests included target shooting in his back yard. Though the date of the posting was not clear, it listed his age as 22 so it could have been 6 years old.

Two weeks ago, Farook and one of the co-workers he killed, 52-year-old Nicholas Thalasinos, had a heated conversation about Islam, according to Kuuleme Stephens, a friend of the victim.

Stephens said she happened to call Thalasinos while he was talking with Farook at work.

She said Thalasinos told her Farook “doesn’t agree that Islam is not a peaceful religion.”

Regional airlines try to ease piloting rules WASHINGTON — U.S. regional airlines are preparing to ask the government to loosen 2013 pilot safety restrictions they say have unnecessarily caused a shortage of qualified flight crews. Just as regulations now allow pilots to qualify for the airlines with fewer hours after academic or military aviation training, the association wants to be able to hire pilots with less experience if they complete specialized training focusing on high-performance aircraft and airline operations, according to a draft of the group’s proposal provided to Bloomberg News on Wednesday.

Associated Press SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.

— California gunman Syed Rizwan Farook had been in contact with known Islamic extremists on social media, a U.S. intelligence official said Thursday, and police said he and his wife had enough bullets and bombs to slaughter hundreds when they launched their deadly attack on a holiday party.

The details emerged as investigators tried to determine whether the rampage that left 14 people dead was terrorism, a workplace grudge or some combination.

The husband-and-wife killers were not under FBI scrutiny before the massacre, said a second U.S. official.

Wearing black tactical gear and wielding assault rifles, Farook, a 28-year-old county restaurant inspector, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, sprayed as many as 75 rounds into a room at a social service center for the disabled, where about 75 of Farook’s co-workers had gathered Wednesday.

Farook had attended the event but slipped out and returned in battle dress.

Four hours later and two miles away, the couple died in a furious gunbattle in which they fired 76 rounds, while 23 law officers unleashed about 380, police said.

On Thursday, Police Chief Jarrod Burguan offered a grim inventory that suggested Wednesday’s bloodbath could have been far worse.

At the social service center, the couple left three riggedtogether pipe bombs with a remote-control detonating device that apparently malfunctioned, and they had more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition remaining when police killed them in their rented SUV, Burguan said.

At a family home in the nearby town of Redlands, they had 12 pipe bombs, tools for making more, and more than 3,000 additional rounds of ammunition, the chief said.

“We don’t know if this was workplace rage or something larger or a combination of both,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in Washington, echoing President Barack Obama. “We don’t know the motivation.”

Investigators are trying to determine whether Farook, who was Muslim, became radicalized — and, if so, how — as well as whether he was in contact with any foreign terrorist organization, said the U.S. intelligence official.

The same official said Farook had been in touch on social media with extremists who were under FBI scrutiny.

The second U.S. official said the FBI was treating the attack

decision which applies to the entire force,” Carter said.

But he acknowledged some concerns.

“Implementation won’t happen overnight. And while at the end of the day this will make us a better and stronger force, there still will be problems to fix and challenges to overcome. We shouldn’t diminish that.”

Carter said the military can no longer afford to exclude half the population from high-risk military posts. He said that any man or woman who meets the standards should be able to serve, and he gave the armed services 30 days to submit plans to make the change.

Carter’s order opens the final 10 percent of military positions to women — a total of about 220,000 jobs. And it allows them

to serve in the most difficult jobs, including as special operations forces, such as the Army Delta units and Navy SEALs. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., one of the first Army women to fly combat missions in the 2003-2011 Iraq war, welcomed the decision. “I didn’t lose my legs in a bar fight — of course women can serve in combat,” said Duckworth, whose helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

“This decision is long overdue.”

Over the past few years, women have steadily moved into many jobs previously open only to men, including on Navy submarines, in Army artillery units, and as Night Stalkers, the elite special operations helicopter crews, best known for flying the Navy SEALS into

Osama bin Laden’s compound in 2011.

Three women became the first to take and pass the Army’s difficult Ranger course.

Only the Marine Corps sought to keep some jobs closed.

Months of testing, a Marine review said, found that women often couldn’t carry as much weight or shoot as well as the men. Allowing women to compete for ground combat jobs, it concluded, would make the Marine Corps a less-efficient fighting machine.

Notably, Gen. Joseph Votel, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, said his office also did extensive analysis and decided not to keep any of the high-risk, high-pressure commando jobs closed.

House leaders Thursday unveiled bipartisan legislation to tighten rules on visa-free travel by millions of foreigners to the U.S. in hopes of making the U.S. less vulnerable after the Paris attacks.

The bill would require U.S. visitors from the 38 “visa waiver” countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Spain, to go through stricter screening procedures and obtain visas if they’ve recently been in Iraq, Iran, Syria or Sudan. Participating countries would be required to share counterterrorism information with the U.S., and would be terminated from the program if they fail to do so.

Urban areas less segregated American urban areas have become significantly less racially segregated over the past 15 years as middle-class blacks continue to move to suburbs and whites and Latinos move into neighborhoods that were once heavily African-American, according to newly released census data. Although black-white segregation and residential barriers remain high in some of America’s largest cities, the latest census data show a trend of continuing integration in nearly all the nation’s major urban areas. Some of the biggest declines occurred in cities long divided by race, including Detroit and Chicago.

Michigan: Mercury levels The U.S. and Canada should more closely monitor atmospheric pollution from as far away as Asia that may be causing mercury levels to rise in Great Lakes fish, an advisory agency said Thursday. Many of the stations that once monitored the mercury content of rain and snow in the region are no longer operating, according to a report by the International Joint Commission, which recommends policies to both nations’ governments. It calls for the U.S. to spend $250,000 a year on a network of 21 stations across the eight states that border the lakes.

Ohio: Sunken barge empty Salvage crews have finished pumping hazardous oil-based substances from a sunken barge that apparently had been sitting undiscovered on the bottom of Lake Erie for nearly 80 years, the Coast Guard said Thursday. Federal officials overseeing the underwater operation said the barge no longer poses an environmental threat. Crews found this week that six of the eight cargo tanks already were empty, suggesting that the oilbased substances either spilled when the barge sank or slowly trickled out.

California: Porn sentence Hunter Moore, the man who created an infamous revenge porn site, was sentenced to more than two years in prison Wednesday, according to the City News Service. Moore was known as “the most hated man on the Internet” for creating IsAnyoneUp.com, where he publicly posted nude or compromising photos uploaded by angry exes seeking revenge. His victims — the subjects of the photographs who did not consent to having the photos posted online — were often identified by name, alongside their social media and contact information. Moore was sentenced to 2½ years in federal prison.

New exec joins growing ATS Doug Dalbey will oversee quality, safety and technical training for the firm.

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — As Aviation Technical Services grows, it has added some new faces.

The latest is Doug Dalbey. He will join the company in January as its new vice president of quality, safety and technical training for ATS’ facilities in Washington,

Missouri and Texas.

The Paine Field-based company does maintenance, repair and overhaul work on commercial airliners. It is the second biggest employer in Washington’s aerospace industry. It has grown in recent years, opening facilities in Kansas City, Missouri and Moses Lake, and is acquiring a company in Fort Worth, Texas.

Dalbey was hired to help ATS keep its high quality and safety standards, ATS CEO Matt Yerbic said.

Those are critical qualities for a company that takes

airplanes apart and puts them back together.

“As we continue to expand our business, it is critical that we uphold our excellent safety and quality record,” Yerbic said.

“Doug’s expertise will be invaluable as ATS grows in order to maintain safety-first consistent practices at each of our locations.”

Dalbey’s career started in the mid-1970s when he was a fixedwing aircraft mechanic in the Army. After leaving the military, he joined the Federal Aviation Administration in the early 1980s as a safety inspector overseeing

maintenance and safety practices at American Airlines, Braniff Airways and other airlines.

He moved on to management positions in the FAA, eventually becoming the agency’s flight standards’ deputy director of field operations.

After leaving the FAA, he joined the CAVOK Group in 2010 as a vice president, advising aviation clients on safety, regulatory and compliance issues.

Nielsen’s inaugural “Comparable Metrics” report for the first time presents data on average use per minute, making it possible to directly compare various devices.

The study counts all apps, Web surfing and game play but not texts or calling.

The results confirm a trend in other Nielsen data that found viewing of traditional TV — through a cable or satellite connection or an antenna — peaked in the 2009-10 season.

“It’s pretty clear the increased use of mobile devices is having some effect on the system as a whole,” said Glenn Enoch, Nielsen’s senior vice president of

audience insights.

The audience for TV viewing alone fell by 10 percent, to 8.4 million people a minute, in the 18-to-34-year-old category.

The new Nielsen data also looks at time spent watching video on various devices, but not for TV-connected devices, where users were clocked playing games as well.

However, even excluding TVconnected devices, the shift in video watching away from the TV is pronounced.

For the young group, viewing on TVs fell 10 minutes to an average of 5 hours and 43 minutes a day. That’s more than compensated for the 33-minute gain in

viewing video on computers, smartphones and tablets, which rose to 3 hours and 43 minutes.

Since Nielsen inaugurated its tracking service in 1949, average daily TV viewing has grown steadily, from 4 hours and 35 minutes a day to a peak of 8 hours and 55 minutes in 2009-10. That increase coincided with growing numbers of TV sets sold and the proliferation of programming on cable channels.

But viewership has been declining ever since. From late September until mid-November this year, daily TV watching accounted for only 8 hours and 13 minutes, Nielsen said.

Seattle public television station KCTS-TV will merge with the nonprofit news website Crosscut, officials say. The deal, effective Wednesday, is part of the station’s strategy to focus on digital news and provide content across web, mobile and broadcast platforms. All staff at both organizations reportedly will keep their jobs in the merger.

The new umbrella organization will be called Cascade Public Media.

Crosscut executive director Tamara Power-Drutis said the combination gives Crosscut the organizational support to do more powerful, multimedia storytelling. KCTS is seen in Western Washington and in Canada and operates Yakima’s PBS station.

The government is erasing the loan debt of more than 7,000 former students of the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges — totaling over $100 million, but still representing a tiny fraction of a federal debt-forgiveness program that could run well into the billions of dollars. The Education Department announced Thursday that it has approved a second wave of Corinthian loan forgiveness, this one for students who filed “borrower’s defense” claims with the government, alleging they were lied to or misled by the company.

orkplace restructuring affects employees, often painfully. It has also presented a problem for economic policy-makers because it has been difficult to integrate workplace changes into existing economic models.

Janet Yellen, chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, may find out about workplace restructuring first hand. She could be replaced by an algorithm. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill (H.R. 3189) that would do just that. It is called the “Fed Oversight Reform and Modernization Act of 2015,” also known as the “FORM Act of 2015.”

From a government job standpoint, in some ways the position of Fed chair position has been considered to be the sinecure of all sinecures. You’ve got power,

By Ryan Nakashima LOS ANGELES — The use of Internet-ready devices like smartphones appears to have seriously cut into the time Americans spend watching traditional TV, new Nielsen data show, potentially undermining the notion that mobile devices merely serve as “second screens” while people are plopped in front of the set.

Data provided to The Associated Press show an increase in the number of 18-to-34-year-olds who used a smartphone, tablet or TV-connected device like a streaming box or game console. That grew 26 percent in May compared with a year earlier, to an average of 8.5 million people per minute.

Those devices, which all showed gains in usage, more than offset declines in traditional TV, radio and computers. In the same age group, the demographic most highly coveted by advertisers, use of those devices fell 8 percent over the same period to a combined 16.6 million people per minute.

It’s not a one-to-one tradeoff, though. Sometimes people are using smartphones while watching TV, or using them outside the home where it wouldn’t cut into TV time. In addition, some mobile device use is, well, to

If the House bill is approved by the Senate and signed into law, though, Yellen’s responsibilities will be to an economic model and if she doesn’t do as it says she must explain to Congress why not. The chairman’s job will not be eliminated, but its non-automated responsibilities

will be minimized. It is a fate very much like the Japanese practice called shusin koyo, back in the days of lifetime employment there. An unneeded executive, for example, would not be fired but he would be given a desk and his only responsibility would be to sit at it.

Congress’s Constitutional responsibility is the theoretical support for the legislation passed by the House. The back story on the bill though is that over the years since it created the Federal Reserve Bank, Congress has become as jealous of it as Herod was of the baby born in a Bethlehem manger.

Congress views itself, with some justification, as the chief financial officer in our economy, holding ultimate responsibility for the nation’s financial affairs.

And from that perspective the Federal Reserve stands out as the lone maverick, steering the economy and directing the creation of money, all outside the direct control of the voters and their elected representatives.

The FORM Act of 2015 would change the relationship between Congress and the Fed in several ways. Perhaps most important is that it would require the Fed to pledge allegiance to a formal model of monetary policy, to make that policy public, and to report immediately any decisions that deviate from it. In fact, the new legislation would shorten the Fed’s leash and require it to notify Congress within 48 hours of any decisions made by the Open Market Committee.

Facebook offering live broadcasting Get ready to start watching live video of your friends and family doing something fun, boring or even dumb on Facebook. The world’s largest social network is testing a new feature that will enable its 1.5 billion users to use their smartphones to shoot video so other people can see what they are doing as it happens. Facebook began testing the live video option Thursday among a sliver of its U.S. audience with iPhones. The Menlo Park, California, company didn’t specify when everyone with a Facebook account and a smartphone will have an opportunity to broadcast live.

The former contract expired at midnight Tuesday.

New locations, organics boost Kroger profits

By Leslie Patton Bloomberg

Kroger Co., the largest U.S. supermarket chain, reported third-quarter profit that topped analysts’ estimates and raised its annual forecast after new locations and organic products fueled sales.

Locally, Kroger operates Fred Meyer and QFC stores.

Net income rose 18 percent to $428 million, or 43 cents a share, Cincinnati-based Kroger said Thursday. Analysts estimated 39 cents, on average.

The results help validate Kroger’s expansion plan, which involves acquiring smaller grocery chains and adding more organic products.

Last month, Kroger agreed to buy Midwestern

supermarket chain Roundy’s Inc. for about $800 million, including debt.

It previously bought other regional stores and scooped up Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. last year. Kroger’s revenue also has been helped by a more aggressive natural-foods business.

The company said profit will be as much as $2.04 a share this fiscal year,

excluding some items.

Kroger previously estimated as much as $1.98 a share, and analysts project $1.99, on average.

The shares rose 4.7 percent to $39.91 today.

Kroger already had gained 19 percent this year through Wednesday, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index added 1 percent.

Comparable-store sales,

excluding fuel, increased 5.4 percent in the quarter ended Nov. 7. Analysts estimated a gain of 4.5 percent, according to Consensus Metrix.

Kroger’s Simple Truth line of natural and organic goods has grown to more than $1 billion in annual sales as more Americans attempt to eat healthier.

The chain has had

success pulling customers from pricier, higher-end chains, such as Whole Foods Market Inc., with its organic cereals, butter and herbs.

Kroger’s third-quarter revenue climbed 0.4 percent to $25.1 billion.

Analysts projected $25.2 billion, on average.

Lower fuel prices weighed on sales in the quarter, the company said.

Sears narrows loss, but sales still slump in 3rd quarter Chicago Tribune CHICAGO — The parent of struggling retailers Sears and Kmart reported third-quarter 2015 results Thursday that showed it narrowing its losses despite a nearly 20 percent drop in sales.

■ By the numbers: Sears’ loss narrowed to $454 million from $548 million a year ago. The Chicago company lost $4.26 per share,

compared with $5.15 per share. At the same time, sales continued their downward slide, dropping more than 19 percent to $5.7 billion from $7.2 billion at the same time last year. Sears’ third-quarter sales just beat Wall Street’s bet of $5.5 billion.

■ The “why”: For years, Sears has been trying to stem the bleeding, aiming to reinvent itself from a traditional store-based

retailer to one that’s more membership based. Its membership loyalty program, Shop Your Way, accounts for roughly 75 percent of sales, the company said. Sears is also focused on capitalizing on its vast real estate holdings, selling off some properties and leasing others.

But in its stores, sales continue to decline in many categories, including apparel and consumer

electronics. Sales in stores open at least a year declined 8.6 percent in the third quarter — which accounted for $417 million of the company’s revenue decline. At Sears, sales in stores open at least a year fell 9.6 percent while at Kmart they fell 7.5 percent. But, the company said appliances and mattresses sold well during the quarter.

As the company works to turn its business around,

it generated $2.7 billion in cash through a rights offering and sale-leaseback transaction with Seritage Growth Properties. Sears created Seritage to extract more revenue from its properties.

■ Quote you on that: Sears CEO Edward Lampert, a hedge fund billionaire who owns most of the retailer’s shares, said he recognizes that “a lot of work remains,” noting that he brought in

new leaders such as former Gymboree executive Joelle Maher, named Sears president in July, to drive the business forward. “As we head into the fourth quarter, we intensified our focus on our product offerings and promotions in order to enhance member engagement and provide our members with the best experience possible throughout the holiday shopping season,” he said.

given to a set of relatively simple equations relating inflation, interest rates, and the gap between actual and potential economic output.

The equations, a monetary policy algorithm, really, were developed by the distinguished economist John Taylor, and others, as a systematic, demystified way to describe the policy actions of the Federal Reserve during the leadership tenures of Paul Volker and Alan Greenspan.

The Taylor Rule enjoys considerable popularity among critics of the Federal Reserve policy decisions, and especially with those who believe more generally that the Fed

has too much power and must be “reined in.” It does suffer from some limitations, though.

One of the things not addressed in the Taylor Rule is how monetary policy should react to economic changes when effective interest rates are already at zero, which has been the situation generally during our entire fragile recovery. It does not address situations where some economic sectors are experiencing inflation while others are seeing price level, nor does it lend itself to absorbing developments in foreign economies and markets, which can have very significant effects

on our economy, or, for that matter, the restructuring of U.S. financial markets since 2008. .

With all of its reporting, audits, and algorithms, the FORM Act does not address the mother of all the Fed’s gnawing problems — the multi-trillion dollar Treasury bond portfolio it carries on its balance sheet as a souvenir of the Great Recession and the bank’s Quantitative Expansion response.

In general, based on their respective track records, the idea that the U.S. economy would be better off by substituting the fiscal responsibility of the Congress for the

policies of the Federal Reserve is one that requires a considerable degree of imaginative thought.

The Congressional idea which would replace Yellen with an algorithm undoubtedly has some appeal to those who blame the Fed for all that is wrong with our economy. Think of it this way: monetary policy is complicated, just like today’s commercial air travel. How would you like to fly instead in a plane designed by Congress?

IN OUR VIEW | Workers’ compensation rates

What’s behind L&I increases Business owners don’t want to see their rates increase; the question is whether they can plan well for their companies when rates swing widely up and down from one year to the next.

The news Tuesday that the state Department of Labor and Industries had announced a 2 percent average base rate increase in workers’ compensation rates for Washington businesses was met with disappointment from the Association of Washington Business, which represents more than 7,900 companies, large and small, who employ 700,000 workers across the state.

AWB’s President Kris Johnson, in a press release Wednesday, called the increase a blow to employers and employees. The increase, Johnson said, represents a $29 million impact for employers, “nearly double what is needed to keep the fund strong.”

While the agency could have kept the increase near 1 percent, Labor and Industries

Director Joel Sacks, says his agency is trying to meet a number of goals.

L&I’s workers compensation program acts as an insurer for companies, who pay premiums to the state that are used to cover the costs of providing replacement wages and disability benefits to workers who are injured on the job. Rates are based on the state’s most recent wage inflation rate, which this year is 4.2 percent and are adjusted depending on the safety risks associated with particular industries and a company’s past history of claims. This also is of interest to employees, who pay a quarter of their own premium.

The agency, Sacks said, is working to strike a balance between keeping premiums affordable while maintaining a system that is financially sound and can provide assistance to workers and employers when needed.

Prior to 2014, however, the agency allowed for wide swings in what it charged for

premiums, cutting rates far below the wage inflation rate some years, only to see them swing the other direction in following years. L&I cut rates 10 percent in 1996, but then increased them 29 percent in 2003. Following two years of no rate increases in 2012 and 2013, the agency has used wage inflation to guide rate increases: 2.7 percent in 2014, .8 percent in 2015 and 2 percent for next year.

The intent, Sacks said, is to provide some stability and predictability for employers, who previously didn’t know whether to expect a windfall one year or a crushing cost increase the next.

L&I also is having to rebuild its reserves. As a result of the most recent recession, the agency’s reserves were depleted by about $2 billion.

During the next few years and before another recession hits, Sacks said he wants to recoup some of that cushion.

The agency also has developed programs that reduce costs and improve service

to employers and injured workers.

Beyond its injury prevention programs, the agency is working with employers to keep injured employees on the job at less physically demanding tasks while they heal, even offering financial incentives to employers.

L&I is teaming with health care providers, including the Everett Clinic, which in 2007 established a Center of Occupation Health and Education, which coordinates care and therapy to get workers back on the job more quickly.

Assisting L&I, agencies such as WorkSource in Everett, are finding new employment for injured workers. Over the last two years, 102 L&I clients working with WorkSource are now employed, 37 back on the job after a year and 65 in the second year.

Rate increases can be tough for a business to absorb, but some predictability in rates and confidence in good outcomes for workers should be seen as a plus for employers.

cases, that is patently unfair!

assaults and serious injuries to staff” at Western State Hospital is to cut funding! How much sense does that make? State cuts funds to its own institution?

I worked and studied at Western State Hospital in 1953 as a student nurse — it was so terrible then we students were not allowed to even see the back wards, as they were called, where the really violent inmates were kept.

Apparently not a lot has been done to improve the situation

for the past 62 years. What would the state choose to do — close the doors and push all those violent patients out into the community? At a time when mental health is of real concern for our schools and communities, the state should instead be coming up with huge amounts of funding to correct this problem and make life safer for all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■PROPERTY TAXES

New formula for voting needed I would like to see our esteemed legislators introduce a bill that limits voting on any item, bill, levy, tax, etc., that raises property taxes, to current property owners of record only, not renters. Since property taxes are paid only by homeowners, it’s not fair to allow people with no “skin in the game” to vote on raising our taxes. A landlord may choose to raise rents based on the escalation of his property taxes or he may not ... but one thing for sure is he will have to pay them.

Also, unless a certain percentage of registered voters turn out, the item or tax is tabled until a required number of voters (to be determined) turn out. Everett has only 44 percent homeowners, the lowest in the state.

That means that the majority (56 percent are renters) can determine if I have to pay more, and, as a retired senior on a fixed income, I can’t afford more. I don’t mind when a true majority decides policy; but to allow it in these

Cure needed for Pfizer’s blatant tax dodge

I

t’s one thing for Pfizer to renounce its U.S. citizenship, moving its official residence to Dublin, Ireland, as a tax dodge — all the while continuing to run the business in the United States. That disgusting tactic happens to be disgustingly legal, thanks to our indolent Congress and its failure to fix the corporate tax laws.

It’s quite another to insult the public with blatant phoniness that avoiding billions in U.S. taxes gives the company “the strength to research, discover and deliver more medicines and therapies to more people around the world.” Those are the words of Pfizer’s chief executive, Ian Read, an accountant by training.

The Pfizer deal involves a merger with a much smaller Allergan, an Ireland-based company that happens to do its business in New Jersey.

Wall Street analysts scoffed at the notion that the deal had any purpose other than to let the company avoid billions in U.S. taxes — billions that other American taxpayers will have to replace.

Since Read took the helm in 2010, Pfizer has slashed its

FROMA HARROP research and development budget.

We assume the company will expect the United States to continue subsidizing research through the taxpayer-supported National Institutes of Health. We assume it wants the U.S. government to continue defending its intellectual property rights.

Pfizer made headlines more than a decade ago when it persuaded the city of New London, Connecticut, to use eminent domain to seize a working-class neighborhood around its shiny new headquarters — and replace it with an upscale shopping, hotel and office complex more to the company’s liking. Actually, it was a condition of its move to the city, according to The Day in New London.

The Supreme Court gave the

controversial plan a green light in 2005. Four years later, Pfizer abandoned New London.

Yes, the drugmakers know how to make government work for them. Their lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, leads efforts to ensure that Americans pay far more for their products than citizens of other countries.

The drugmakers’ crowning achievement was getting a Republican-controlled Congress to write a Medicare drug benefit law to their specifications. While funneling billions in taxpayer subsidies toward helping the elderly buy drugs, it forbade the U.S. government to negotiate the prices on behalf of said taxpayers.

No other Western country lets drug companies charge whatever they think they can get away with. This is why the government of Norway pays about $460 for an injection of the asthma drug Xolair and our Medicare pays about $860.

(Pfizer also lobbied against proposals to let Americans buy their drugs from other countries at these lower prices.)

These conversations always

circle back to the drugmakers’ argument that Americans must pay their price to cover the high expense of developing wonderful life-enhancing products.

We can close that circle by asking: To the extent that high U.S. drug prices support research and development benefiting the world, why are Americans the only ones footing the bills?

The drugmakers don’t talk much about that publicly for a very simple reason. It is not in the interests of their executives and investors to stop Americans from playing the chump.

If they can get the job done by writing checks to obedient U.S. politicians and the chumps keep re-electing them, why make trouble for themselves?

In a recent annual report, Read told shareholders of Pfizer’s desire to earn “greater respect from the public,” which entails “acting as a respectable corporate citizen.”

Read may have reason to take the American public for easily deceived children. Basic decency, however, demands that he limit such thoughts to private dinner parties.

Motive is less an issue than the means

W

as the San Bernardino shooting an act of terrorism or workplace rage? It doesn’t really matter, in terms of the need for better regulation of assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons.

The growing evidence that this latest attack was terrorism should galvanize a citizen movement to demand better protection against such mass shootings, whether DAVID IGNATIUS they’re the work of Muslim extremists, enraged anti-abortion militants or mentally unstable loners.

“Enough is enough,” said President Obama after the shooting in Colorado Springs last week. This conviction should only deepen as the investigators try to determine the motivations of the suspected shooters in San Bernardino, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

The attackers certainly intended to terrorize. They were protected by body armor and armed with two AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, two semiautomatic pistols and what police say were more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition. Three pipe bombs were found at the attack site, and 12 more pipe bombs were found at a residence nearby.

Were the shooters “terrorists”? News reports focused on the couple’s Pakistani backgrounds, his trip to Saudi Arabia to meet and marry her, and his online contacts with terrorism suspects. The FBI is investigating the case, including the puzzle of why the couple targeted a holiday party at a social services center — not an obvious jihadist magnet.

But how did the attackers get all those weapons? That’s an urgent question, no matter what their motivations were.

Conservatives who are worried about terrorism and liberals who focus on gun safety should agree that access to such assault weapons is a deadly threat in America.

The horrifying events in San Bernardino should be a unifying moment in the gun debate, rather than a polarizing one. Left or right, blue state or red, Americans ought to agree that Farook and Malik shouldn’t have been able to obtain the types of weapons that killed so many people on Wednesday. Regulations that might reduce the likelihood of another San Bernardino could also contain the violence that killed three people last week at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, and 10 at a community college in Oregon in October, and nine at a church in South Carolina in June, and the still gutwrenching Connecticut school massacre that killed 28 three years ago.

President Obama made the connection between fighting terrorism and gun safety in an interview with CBS News Wednesday night. “For those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can’t get on planes. But those same people who we don’t allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm — and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.

That’s a law that needs to be changed.”

Politicians need to rethink their reflexive invocations of the Second Amendment, and the idea that the gun lobby is too powerful to challenge. Governors who want to protect their citizens from terrorism should focus less on blocking immigrants from Syria and more on limiting a potential terrorist’s ability to purchase assault weapons and explosives. Congress should think about having a “no-buy” list for semiautomatic rifles that’s equivalent to the no-fly list. State and local legislators should look for ways to screen potential shooters — with new background checks and permit requirements.

The Supreme Court has allowed room to restrict guns, argues Adam Winkler, a constitutional scholar at UCLA. He notes that the justices “left many large, important questions unanswered” in their narrow, 5-4 decision rejecting a local handgun ban in the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller. “Since Heller, the lower courts have upheld the overwhelming majority of gun laws,” he explains.

“Heller doesn’t have to be narrowed for us to do more to reduce gun violence.”

Those who plot mass violence shouldn’t be able to obtain semiautomatic weapons so easily, whether we define these people as terrorists or not. That’s one clear lesson of San Bernardino.

Everett budget OK’d by City Council State auditor’s Herald staff EVERETT — The Everett City Council has approved a $324.8 million spending plan for 2016 that includes more money to build housing for chronically homeless people.

Mayor Ray Stephanson announced earlier

this year a plan to build 20 units of low-barrier supportive housing over the next two years. The 2016 budget includes money that will start that process, as well as create a dedicated unit within the Everett Police Department to help homeless people get access to mental health

care, substance abuse treatment or other services — instead of focusing on jail time.

The budget also includes funding for several major projects, including the Grand Avenue Park pedestrian bridge to the waterfront, new fields at Kasch Park, and new

restrooms at Wiggums Hollow Park.

The spending plan is part of a $500 million total budget that includes $175.6 million in reserve and pension funds that are not expected to be spent in the coming year, but must still be accounted for.

worked so hard to get this place up and running.”

Since then, the group has filled in those gaps.

Hilory plans to fill in one more in 2016 by hiring the center’s first full-time exhibit director.

“That’s really the pain point right now,” she said.

“That is really what we need, that subject-matter expert” to give visitors a richer, deeper vision of aviation’s future.

Some of that work is already happening.

Earlier this year, the center opened a “maker space” where members and visitors can design and produce objects using a 3D printer. Last spring, it added its Family Fun Zone for kids to explore the science of flight.

The nonprofit group is even changing. It is getting a new name and brand, which is planned to be announced at its 10th anniversary celebration on Dec. 17.

The event’s focus is socializing and fun, Hilory said.

Former Boeing engineer Joe Sutter, who led the team that developed the 747, will be on hand.

The Future of Flight Foundation was started primarily to raise money

for the center and support aerospace-related education. At the time, the Museum of Flight in Seattle had agreed to operate the center, which is owned by Snohomish County and partners with the Boeing Co. However, the Museum of Flight backed out before the center at Paine Field opened, and the foundation stepped in.

The number of visitors has roughly doubled since 2005. Based on ticket sales, the center is on track to break 300,000 guests by year’s end, which will be a first, she said.

For years, the nonprofit has been asking for a Community Transit bus stop on site. The closest one is down a big hill, a long trek for luggage-toting travelers coming to the center.

In November, voters approved Proposition 1, increasing Community Transit funding.

Community Transit “will be reviewing transit needs throughout the county,” spokesman Martin Munguia said.

A stop at the center will be on the list of possible additions, he said.

The center and the Boeing factory tour are huge for county tourism, said Amy Spain, head of the

Future of Flight Foundation’s 10th anniversary party When: 6 p.m., Dec. 17 Where: Future of Flight Aviation Center, 8415 Paine Field Boulevard, Mukilteo How much: $125 for members, $150 for nonmembers Learn more and buy tickets online at www.futureofflight. org/10-year-celebration Snohomish County Tourism Bureau.

They bolster the cluster of aviation attractions at Paine Field, including the Historic Flight Foundation, the Flying Heritage Collection and the Museum of Flight Restoration Center, she said. “The other attractions are the icing on the cake.”

The Future of Flight Foundation seeks to draw a wide array of visitors, including students through summer camps and other educational programs, Hilory said.

Aviation enthusiasts — or avgeeks, as many call themselves — make up a big part of the center’s visitors.

“Their passion is endless,” as is their grasp of aviation facts and details, she said. “Whenever I talk to those folks, I feel like I am just playing on the surface.”

Since 2009, the center has been a venue for the Aviation Geek Fest Seattle, which is organized by AirlineReporter.com, an avgeek website.

It was an obvious choice, said David Parker Brown, AirlineReporter.com’s editor-in-chief.

The center and the accompanying tour let visitors glimpse the “complex process it takes to build Boeing aircraft,” he said.

“The Future of Flight Aviation Center already has some great programs for teaching kids about aviation,” Brown said.

Hopefully, it will continue growing, helping create a new generation of aviation enthusiasts in the process, he said.

lawyer to hold disputed money

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

TACOMA — A judge on Thursday ordered the Justice Department to turn over nearly $1 million to a lawyer for indicted state Auditor Troy Kelley — but he can’t spend it without permission.

U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton upbraided federal prosecutors for seizing the money in the first place, saying it had been held in trust by the law firm that previously represented Kelley and there was no danger of the money being used.

“A pretrial seizure of property is an extraordinary step, and it challenges our fundamental belief in a person being deemed innocent until proven guilty,” the judge told assistant U.S. attorneys Richard Cohen and Andrew Friedman.

“We had the money in a blocked account going nowhere. ... Why did you do it?”

Kelley, a 51-year-old Democrat, is a former state representative who was elected in 2012 to be Washington’s auditor — the state official tasked with rooting out waste and fraud in government operations.

He was indicted this year on money laundering, possession of stolen money and other charges related to his prior operation of a real-estate services firm called Post Closing Department, which tracked certain

transactions for mortgage title and escrow firms.

Investigators say Kelley kept fees the company was supposed to refund to homeowners — an amount that totaled at least $3 million from 2006 to 2008 — and paid himself $245,000 a year from the ill-gotten proceeds.

Just before he was indicted last spring on charges including possession of stolen money and filing false income tax returns, Kelley wrote a $447,000 check to the U.S. Treasury Department, noting in the subject line that it would cover future tax debts, and transferred more than $908,000 to a law firm that represented him at the time.

Federal prosecutors seized the money being held by the firm in September. Kelley’s new attorney, Angelo Calfo, sought its return, arguing that the government did not need the money as evidence and had not demonstrated that it had probable cause to seize it.

Kelley’s new attorney, Angelo Calfo, challenged the legality of the seizure. After more than two days of testimony by an FBI agent and a forensic accountant, he asked the judge to return the money as well as for permission to spend up to $350,000 of it on legal expenses.

Leighton didn’t go that far, but said Calfo could petition the court later to spend some of it.

Mazda’s 2016 CX-3 Grand Touring is a subcompact crossover vehicle with all-wheel drive. It’s designed to deliver all the fun and technology of Mazda’s larger CX-5, CX-7 and CX-9 nameplates but at a price point that will draw buyers from all backgrounds.

It’s smaller than the more well-known Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4 and Subaru Forester models, to name a few; but should appeal to consumers with creative, adventurous lifestyles.

What is lost because of its size, is gained in the CX3’s handling and control. It handles like a passenger car, is stable rounding corners and provides a quiet cabin that made conversations easy. And parking was a breeze whether straight in, horizontal or backing up.

The CX-3 provides a wide field of vision that inspires driver confidence. And a wiper on the back window was handy on an I-5 with reduced visibility — thanks

2016 GMC Canyon:

Midsize Pickup with Turbodiesel

By SUE MEAD AutoWriters Associates

S

ales of the 2015 GMC Canyon and its sibling — the 2015 Chevy Colorado — have been steaming hot and we can only imagine that the addition of the Duramax diesel powerplant to the lineup will even increase the popularity of The General’s pickups.

There’s nothing else like it: The Canyon Diesel (and Chevy Colorado Diesel) are the only diesel offerings in their class.

Other trucks in the segment are the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, but both are gasoline-powered.

The 2016 Canyon Diesel is priced starting at $24,725 (the diesel option is $3,730).

It comes in Extended Cab and Crew Cab versions, in SLE and SLT trims, and in 2WD and 4WD versions; also available is an All-

Terrain SLE package and a Nightfall special edition.

We drove the 4WD Crew Cab SLT and appreciated the well-laid-out cabin with premium materials and its good use of space and plentiful places to stow both small goods and larger items, such as iPads. It has a solid-ride feel that comes from its fully boxed frame with a coil front suspension. Electric power steering is standard along with four-wheel-disc brakes with long-life rotors. Most impressive is the diesel power that comes on at low rpm and the turbo that adds extra oomph, when needed.

Under the hood is the all-new 2.8-liter, inline-four-cylinder Duramax turbo-diesel that is matched to a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission. The engine produces 181 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and a hefty 369 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,000 rpm,

and can also operate with B20 (20 percent biodiesel fuel).

Notable is a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds and a payload of 1,506 pounds. Exclusive on all diesel models is the all-new integrated trailer brake controller, as well as a segment-first smart diesel exhaust brake system to reduce wear and tear on steep hills and increase driver control. Hill start assist and hill descent control come with the All-Terrain package.

The Canyon is designed with GMC’s premium attributes and “Professional Grade” styling. A bold and beefy grille mirrors much of the classic pickup look found on its big brother, the Sierra. The midsizer has a unique roofline that curves down towards the bed and a lower window line that arcs upward in an attractive fashion toward the rear.

In front are standard projector headlights with LED running lights. The buyer’s choice of 5’2” and 6’2” beds come with 17 tie-downs and a standard CornerStep rear bumper making for an easy in-and-out of the back; a factory spray-on bedliner is

available. Standard on the SLE are 17-inch, blade-patterned aluminum wheels, bodycolor door handles and mirrors, and an EZ Lift and lower tailgate. Opting for the top trim brings 18-inch wheels, chrome accents and the new sliding rear window.

Inside, it’s all about comfort and refinement. Canyon’s controls and touchscreen are laid out in a symmetrical fashion, centered around the 8-inch display, and in three tiers, with the familiar two knobs bookending a row of buttons. Bucket seats come standard with a full-size center console; leather heated seats are available with SLE and standard with SLT. IntelliLink’s 8-inch color touch screen mates with smartphones for access to music, messaging, calling, and navigation. Newly added is Apple CarPlay support that joins the Siri Eyes-Free Mode for iPhone, and OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity. Four USB ports, steering-wheelmounted controls, and six speakers are standard; a Bose seven-speaker sound system is available. A rear vision camera is standard.

By FRANK A. AUKOFER AutoWriters Associates

W

ith its 2016 Outlander crossover sport utility vehicle, it almost seems as if Mitsubishi has channeled the adventures of Hansel and Gretel.

A few years back, like the famous fairy tale kids, the Japanese manufacturer lost its way in the deep woods of customer disillusion and was written off by some experts. But the company found its way back with a sack full of design and engineering pebbles and now looks toward new sales horizons.

The new Outlander boasts hushed and redesigned interior and exterior styling touches, along with standard alloy wheels, markedly improved handling, a lower entry price, third-row seat with clever folding second-row seats, and a newly tuned continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Outlander offers four trim levels: ES, SE, SEL, and GT. The entry-level ES is available with only frontwheel drive while the GT boasts standard all-wheel drive and a V-6 engine. The others are equipped with four-cylinder engines. SE and SEL trims offer a choice

of front- or all-wheel drive (for an additional $2,000).

All versions use Mitsubishi’s new CVT, which operates unobtrusively with belts and pulleys to seamlessly multiply power without the shift points found a conventional automatic transmission. However, the GT’s transmission has a manual shift mode, controlled by paddles mounted on the steering column, that mimics shift pauses.

With a starting price of $22,995, the ES comes wellequipped with such features as automatic climate control, six speaker audio system with steering wheel controls, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, power windows with one-touch up and down on the driver’s side, heated outside mirrors, remote locking, cruise control, and full safety equipment. While the entry-level ES does not have a rear-view camera, all other Outlanders do.

The focus of this review is an all-wheel-drive SEL, which has a starting price of $26,995. A preproduction model, it had only one option package, a $1,550 suite of safety equipment that includes adaptive cruise control, front collision mitigation, lane departure warning, rain sensing windshield wipers with defrost-

2016 Mitsubishi Outlander:

Out of the woods into the light ers, and automatic folding outside mirrors.

Other option groups are available, including a $5,250 Touring package that includes the foregoing plus a power tailgate, premium audio system, motorized glass sunroof, satellite radio, and a navigation system.

Blind spot warning is not offered yet, so be sure your outside mirrors are adjusted properly.

Power is delivered by a 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine with 162 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s not particularly fast, with a manufacturer’s estimate of 0 to 60 mph in about 10 seconds with a full tank of fuel and two passengers. The new Out-

lander’s forte, however, is precise handling and quiet long-distance cruising. It is unusually silent inside with negligible intrusion of road, mechanical, or wind noise.

Interior touches like shiny piano-black accents on the designer steering wheel, tasteful trim and soft-touch surfaces give the Outlander an aura similar to some luxury cars. Unfortunately, the sun visors do not slide on their support rods to adequately block sunlight from the side.

A button on the console can select a choice of four drive modes: eco, normal, snow and lock. The last is a misnomer because it doesn’t lock anything;

instead, it recalibrates the all-wheel-drive system to send most of the power to the rear wheels for quicker, more responsive handling around curves. The steering also delivers solid, on-center, straight-line tracking.

As of now, the Outlander is the only compact crossover with seven-passenger seating (Toyota used to offer a third-row seat in its RAV4 but dropped it). Mitsubishi representatives said they expect most owners to leave the third-row seat folded to expand the 10 cubic feet of cargo space to 34 cubic feet.

That’s prudent, because the third row is rudimentary and a bit difficult to access, and should be reserved

for occasional use by agile children. Fortunately, the second row of seats divides 60/40 and slides forward to share knee room between second- and third-row passengers.

The second row also uses a clever system to drop the headrests, flip the seat cushions forward, and flop the seatbacks to provide a flat floor that expands the total cargo area to 63 cubic feet.

Mitsubishi plunged to its lowest point in 2009 with U.S. sales of 53,986, including 15,457 SUVs and crossovers. The 2016 Outlander can adeptly lead the company on a new road out of the forest.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Take the time to reorganize your home, your personal life and your professional plans for the future. It’s important to know what you want before you waste time flitting around looking for unrealistic alternatives.

Your numbers are 2, 5, 12, 22, 28, 37, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on doing what needs to be done and finish what you start. Taking care of business will leave you more time to enjoy your friends. A short trip will help you gain perspective on something you are considering. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take any chance you get to work alongside your peers or to learn from someone who has more experience than you. Take care of your children’s or pet’s medical needs. A short trip will prove beneficial.

Someone from your past will surprise you. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t overspend on entertainment or trying to impress others.

Making donations is admirable, but not if it leaves you in a vulnerable position. Emotional matters will be difficult to understand if honesty isn’t prevalent. Say what’s on your mind and keep moving. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may want to help others, but in doing so, make sure you aren’t shortchanging yourself. You’ll face opposition at home if you spend too much time or money on outsiders instead of taking care of business at home. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A short trip or a change of pace will give you breathing room to consider your next move. You have more options than you realize, and with the end of the year approaching, you’ll want to start working toward new goals. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t overreact or argue. Take care of your responsibilities and

move on to more enjoyable pastimes. Getting together with someone who is facing a similar situation will give you the courage and confidence to do what you have to. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make plans with friends or change your environment by visiting unfamiliar places. Don’t overspend on items or people. You can’t buy love. Instead, try to make a good impression. Put your needs first.

Reassess your situation. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Home improvement projects will be a prosperous investment.

Don’t be afraid to offer a helping hand instead of making a donation. The experience will be gratifying and could lead to new contacts. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Communication with others will be difficult. Misunderstandings will put you in a precarious position.

Get your facts straight and don’t share information that could be used against you. Stick close to home and avoid mishaps, delays and disappointments. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be too eager to make changes. Stick to what you know and do best, especially when it comes to legal, financial or medical concerns. Trust in yourself, not in what others try to lead you to believe. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t get depressed — get moving. You have a host of great ideas that can improve your status, reputation and professional position. Let your trendy, innovative ideas lead the way. Follow your heart and invest in your ideas. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll suffer emotionally if you share your personal secrets with others. Don’t trust anyone to keep a promise. Focus on what you can do to keep the peace and help others without divulging your personal opinions or problems. ★★★ Universal Uclick

Tips have responded well to losses this season Everett, which lost to Tri-City Wednesday, has lost more than two consecutive games only once this year.

WRESTLING WITH

HIGH EXPECTATIONS

By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

A

RLINGTON — Rick Iversen hears the questions everywhere he goes in Arlington.

“Is this the year Coach?”

“We’re winning it all this year, right Coach?”

High expectations are the gift and the curse that follow success, and after the Eagles flipped a switch following a .500 regular season and won districts, regionals and placed sixth in the Class 3A team standings at last season’s Mat Classic, the buzz surrounding Iversen’s program is palpable.

“We have a real surge around the sport right now — maybe to excess — in our community,” said Iversen, a 30-year coaching veteran and member of multiple coaching halls of

Arlington placed sixth last season, arriving a year earlier than expected on the state scene >> Five prep wrestlers to watch this season, C3

fame. “We’re starting the year with over 70 kids in our room, and since I’ve been here, we haven’t had more than 50.

There is pressure on us to produce. Everyone expects us to be world-beaters, and I don’t know if that’s a good way to go into a season. My outlook is that we want to be the very best we can be.”

On paper, that could be pretty good.

The Eagles return all five

state placers who contributed to that sixth-place finish last February, and Iversen has aspirations of sending 10 or 11 kids to Tacoma this year.

“I believe that there are six (3A) teams that could win the state tournament, and one of them will,” he said. “North Central, Mount Spokane, Bonney Lake, Enumclaw, Edmonds-Woodway and Arlington.”

For Arlington to leapfrog

defending champion Enumclaw and the rest of Iversen’s contenders, they’ll need similar contributions from returning state placers Trey Swanson (fourth at 103 pounds), Gavin Rork (fourth at 126), Jeremy Nygard (fifth at 126), Cooper McAuslan (fifth at 145) and Ruben Crew (second at 160), along with steps forward by the wrestlers who, as junior-varsity competitors a year ago, provided the team points crucial to the Eagles’ district and regional victories.

“Last year’s JV wrestlers have really stepped up,” said senior quad-captain Riley Oakes, who gave the team a boost by turning out late in his junior season. “I think the biggest difference in the room right now is last year we were focusing See EAGLES, Page C3

EVERETT — Though there were not many positives to be gleaned from Wednesday night’s 4-1 home loss to Tri-City, the Everett Silvertips can take solace in the fact they get another chance Friday night when they play host to the Prince George Cougars at 7:35 p.m. at Xfinity Arena.

“If you having a winning attitude you always want to get on with what’s next,” head coach Kevin Constantine said. “It’s kind of like losing in a game of cards.

The winners smile and the losers say ‘deal the next hand.’ We should be excited about an opportunity to respond.”

The Tips (148-0-2) have been impressive in their Remi responses this Laurencelle year. Only once have they lost more than two consecutive games.

The three-game losing streak came at the conclusion of Everett’s stretch of four games in five nights during its Central Division road trip to Alberta two weeks ago. This week features three games in four nights, but Constantine doesn’t expect that to be a factor.

“Three in four is taxing and it will chew up some energy, but I think four in five nights was much more difficult, not only because it is four in five nights, but you’re traveling during all of that,” Constantine said. “You’re not sleeping in your own bed. It’s a challenging week, but not the way the Alberta trip is.”

SEATTLE — What projects as the final piece to the Mariners’ new-look outfield snapped into place Thursday when free-agent Nori Aoki passed a physical examination that certified his one-year deal.

Results of the exam reassured club officials that Aoki, 33, harbored no lingering effects from the post-concussion issues that ended his season with the San Francisco Giants in early September.

“Very (comprehensive),” general manager Jerry Dipoto said, “and we’re very comfortable with the result.”

Concern over those issues is believed to be one reason why the Giants chose not to exercise a $5.5 million contract option to retain Aoki for next season.

But Aoki received the same deal — $5.5 million — from the Mariners. He also has a vesting option for $6 million in 2017 and can boost the value each year through $1.5 million in performance bonuses.

“Hello, Seattle,” he said in opening an afternoon news conference at Safeco Field.

“I’m Norichika Aoki, and I’m glad to meet you. I came to Seattle for the coffee — and also to win a World Series.”

They were Aoki’s only words in English. He used an interpreter, Kosuke Inaji,

The News Tribune

throughout the rest of the session.

Even so, Aoki displayed a quick, deadpan wit when asked what free-agent pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma, a close friend, planned to do.

“Part of my contract,” he revealed, “includes a guarantee that Iwakuma will sign back with Seattle.”

That’s a joke, but Dipoto would no doubt welcome any assistance. He reiterated that retaining Iwakuma remains a priority. But Dipoto also said Aoki “was a target of ours from the very start of the offseason.”

A healthy Aoki projects to get full-time duty in the outfield, primarily in left field. He also adds a remarkably consistent left-handed bat with proven on-base skills atop the lineup.

“This was about as simple a fit as there was in this year’s free-agent class,” Dipoto said.

“Nori fit exactly what we were looking for — a catalyst at the top of our lineup and an everyday outfielder in some capacity.”

In four years since arriving from Japan, after eight seasons at Yakult, Aoki has batted .288, .286, .285 and .287 while compiling an on-base percentage of .355, .356, .349 and .353.

Aoki also averaged 146 games in his first three seasons (2012-13 with Milwaukee; and 2014 with Kansas City) before a broken leg and those concussion concerns limited him last season to 93

with the Giants.

“I feel no effects from the concussion at all,” he said.

“I’m already working out and working out hard. I’m going to be ready for the season, 100 percent.”

The Mariners’ outfield now shapes up as a five-player rotation with Aoki and newcomer Leonys Martin, obtained in a Nov. 16 trade with Texas, playing every day. Martin projects as the regular center fielder.

“The one thing for certain is that Nori will play regularly,” Dipoto said, “that Franklin (Gutierrez) will get his at-bats against left-handed pitching and that Seth Smith will get his versus right(-handed pitchers).

“Nelson (Cruz) is going to play right field, and he’s going to DH. Seth and Franklin will split right field on days that Nelson doesn’t play (in the field).

“They’ll also play left on days when Nori slides into center versus a tough lefty to give Leonys a day off. There’s a nice rotation in there.”

Aoki sees his new home as a great fit.

“This team already has a lot of great hitters,” he said, “a lot of guys who can hit cleanup. I feel as long as I get on base in front of them, I’ll have a lot of chances to score and contribute to the Mariners winning.”

One other thing. About his coffee, he likes it with “a little cream or milk.”

Silvertips: Respond to defeat From Page C1

The scoring of overage center Remi Laurencelle has been a significant factor in helping the Tips respond to defeats.

However, Constantine said that Laurencelle’s points are a result of focusing on the process of doing the job he’s assigned on each particular shift, rather than thinking about the outcome of goals and assists themselves.

“He’s getting them in bunches partly because he’s not worrying about it that much, and I really believe that,” Constantine added. “I believe that Remi is just competitive and really cares about the team and the way we do things and his mind is so into that, that I think that in a positive way is helping him get points right now because he’s not thinking about it.”

Laurencelle, whose ninegame point streak came to an end in Wednesday’s loss, echoed his head coach when asked about his point production.

“Honestly what’s crucial is getting the two points (for the team victory),” the assistant captain said. “You don’t worry about your own points, you worry about the outcome of the game, and winning games is what we need.”

The Tips will get a chance to do that tonight as they wrap up their four-game season series against the Cougars.

Everett split its season-opening two-game away series in October and defeated Prince George 2-1 in overtime at Xfinity Arena Nov. 6.

The Cougars (15-9-1-1, 32 points) are in third place in the B.C. Division and fourth in the Western Conference standings. They haven’t lost in regulation since a 3-1 setback at Calgary on Nov. 18 and are 7-2-0-1 in their last 10 games.

Left wing Jesse Gabrielle is Prince George’s top scorer with 16 goals and nine assists.

Brogan O’Brien (nine goals, 10 assists), Chase Witala (11 goals, seven assists), Brad Morrison (seven goals, 11 assists), Jared Bethune (10 goals, six assists) and Tate Olson (two goals, 14 assists) are also offensive threats.

Jansen Harkins (five goals, 12 assists) is one of the Cougars’ top players and was out due to illness the last time Prince George visited Xfinity Arena.

Goaltender Ty Edmonds (8-4-1-0, 2.18 goals-against average, .934 save percentage) has been one of the top net-minders in the league this season. Nick McBride (4-2-01, 2.75 GAA, .903 percentage)

has appeared in eight games for the Cougars.

The Tips are 6-3-0-1 in their last 10 contests.

Friday marks the second game for newest Silvertip Brycen Martin (three goals, 21 assists) who was acquired Monday from Saskatoon.

Laurencelle is the only Everett player with double figures in both goals (12) and assists (11).

Patrick Bajkov and Carson Stadnyk each have four goals and a dozen assists.

Carter Hart, the reigning WHL Goaltender the Month and WHL Goaltender of the Week, is 14-7-0-2 with a 1.74 GAA and a .934 save percentage.

Saturday the Vancouver Giants come to Everett for the second time this season. Entering tonight’s game against Kootenay the Giants were last in the Western Conference at 7-16-2-2.

“I think right now it’s all about playing simple and not getting too high about ourselves and thinking we’re better than we are,” Laurencelle said. “We’ve got to play like we lost.”

That won’t be a problem Friday night.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The NCAA has upheld its nine-game suspension of Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, but he will be allowed to begin serving it immediately.

The NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee issued its ruling Thursday, saying Boeheim was not directly involved in underlying violations of academic misconduct, extra benefits and the university’s drug testing policy.

The Committee on Infractions had ruled in March that the suspension be served during Atlantic Coast Conference play.

The change means the 71-year-old Boeheim will now miss six non-conference games and only three ACC games, returning for North Carolina on Jan. 9. Assistant coach Mike Hopkins will lead No. 14 Syracuse on Saturday at Georgetown.

The timing of the ruling didn’t sit well with Boeheim, who cannot be around the players or practice for the duration of the suspension.

“Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with the NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee’s decision, and in particular, the NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee giving us only two days to make this transition, when the appeal was argued weeks ago,” Boeheim said in a statement. “I am considering my options moving forward and will have no further comment regarding this matter at this time.”

The suspensions and sanctions against the university were imposed in March after a longterm investigation of Syracuse’s athletic department.

Boeheim appealed and called the penalties “unduly harsh.”

Last week, the NCAA restored four basketball scholarships it had originally stripped from Syracuse, reducing the number to eight over four years rather than 12.

Men UCLA 87, Kentucky 77 LOS ANGELES — Thomas Welsh led five players in double figures with 21 points and UCLA knocked off No. 1 Kentucky 87-77 on Thursday night in the Bruins’ first victory over a top-ranked team since 2003.

Bryce Alford and Isaac Hamilton added 15 points each, Tony Parker had 11 and Aaron Holiday 10 for the Bruins (5-3), who led almost the entire game and shot 53 percent from the field. They last beat a No. 1 team on March 13, 2003, defeating Arizona 96-89 in overtime.

Some fans dashed onto the court to celebrate at the buzzer, but the majority were held back by security.

Isaiah Briscoe led Kentucky (7-1) with 20 points. Jamal Murray added 17 and Derek Willis added 11. They lost a regular-season game for the first time since March 8, 2014, at Florida.

The result was a dramatic turnaround from last December, when the Wildcats dealt the Bruins a 39-point drubbing in Chicago. Kentucky opened that game with a 24-0 run and led 41-7 at halftime.

Women Seattle 59, Denver 51 KENT — Wilma Afungo led four Redhawks in double figures with 13 points as Seattle improved to 4-4 with a victory over the Pioneers at the ShoWare Center.

Former Mountlake Terrace star Samantha Romanowski led Denver (15) with 20 points on 5-of-15 shooting from the floor.

Ashlyn Lewey added 12 for Seattle.

mostly on districts and regionals. This year, focusing on state has brought a different mentality to the room.”

The Eagles have altered the most basic aspects of their daily practice routine to coincide with their championship aspirations, pounding out sets of 11 push-ups and sit-ups in between drills.

“Everyone else does 10,” Oakes said.

In addition to its regular-season slate of dual meets, Arlington will travel to a host of Saturday tournaments to test itself against the state’s best.

After the Edmonds Invite this weekend, the Eagles should be favorites at the Olympic Duals in Bremerton.

Arlington also will compete at the Everett Classic, Panther Classic (Snohomish) and the Matman Classic in Silverdale during the regular season.

For one final test before districts, the Eagles plan to travel to EdmondsWoodway for a dual with the Warriors on Jan. 29.

“We want to be undefeated going into Edmonds-Woodway,” senior quad-captain Parker Spady said.

It is projected to be a battle between Wesco 3A’s two best teams, and even though Arlington and Edmonds-Woodway will square off as part of a double-dual at Glacier Peak on Dec. 15, the January matchup should feature both teams’ best lineups.

“I think it will be one of the premier dual meets of the year,” Iversen said.

The Warriors believe they have equal claim to the area’s best 3A program, and with a lineup boasting three returning state placers plus a pair of impact transfers, it would be hard to argue.

Edmonds-Woodway coach Brian Alfi raves about his group, which he describes as virtually 100 percent self-directed.

“These kids made a huge commitment to freestyle in the offseason and went to five different camps,” he said. “There’s strong leadership pushing for some really strong goals. They’re fun to be around because they invest so much time in their team and are very focused and goal-oriented. It sets the tone for the entire room.”

To go along with returning state placers Ebrima Fatty (seventh place at 106 pounds), Sidat Kanyi (fourth at 113) and Spencer Schultz (eighth at 195), the Warriors have added a pair of transfers in Mason McDaniel (Juanita) and Riley Seward (Inglemoor).

McDaniel was the 3A state runner-up at 170 pounds last season, falling to Marysville Pilchuck’s Killian Page via decision.

Seward placed eighth at 145 pounds in 4A. “They’re incredibly hard-working, great kids,” Alfi said of McDaniel and Seward.

Before he set about working his way back to the state finals at roughly the same 138 pounds as last season, Douglas went to two large national tournaments in the offseason to attract the attention of collegiate coaches.

“It’s just about really fine details for him,” Barnes said. “He’s just expanding the stuff that he already does and focusing on a specific style of wrestling.”

Jamell Carroll Sultan | Jr.

Perhaps as much as any wrestler in the state, Carroll is on the verge of becoming an unstoppable force after placing third at 132 pounds as a sophomore last season.

Already immensely strong for his size, Carroll is nearly impossible for opponents to move, much less get off his feet.

When Carroll, who will wrestle at 152 for most of this season, is able to turn himself loose offensively to go along with his prodigious defensive abilities, a state championship is well within reach.

“He’s really worked on being more dominant on his feet and from the top position,” Sultan coach Garth MacDicken said of Carroll, who was invited to showcase tournaments on the East Coast during the offseason to boost his visibility to college programs.

“We’ve talked about him being more aggressive and attacking his opponent. That’s what he needs to do to be one of the best wrestlers in the state, which is where he sees himself.”

De La Cruz completed her freshman season with a third-place finish at Mat Classic after dropping her state semifinal bout.

Knights coach Bryan Stelling said the work De La Cruz has done in the offseason, combined with the experience she gained at her first state tournament, should give her a chance to improve as a sophomore.

“She went to the Washington Intensive camp and an Edmonds-Woodway camp with a former Olympic coach where she wrestled against boys,” Stelling said. “She’s not afraid to wrestle boys, and though she’s not as strong in the upper body as most boys, her technique is excellent. She wants to wrestle tough kids.”

“Knowing that she’s of the caliber to be a state placer will help her a lot,” Stelling said. “I think she could have beaten the girl she lost to, but she learned to just relax and go out and have fun. She’s pretty good in all aspects of her game and she learned a lot at those camps.”

Jake Douglas Lake Stevens | Sr.

After completing a sterling regular season last year as a junior, Douglas won a pair of one-point decisions on his way to the state final.

Douglas dropped a 1-0 decision to Central Valley’s Blake Beard in the championship, largely because he wasn’t able to get an escape when he needed it most.

“He lost that match because he couldn’t get away, and I’m sure that’s sticking in his craw a little bit and has been an area of emphasis for him,” Vikings coach Brent Barnes said.” Jake has been really good underneath so that was strange that he

Michael Soler

Lake Stevens | Sr. After winning state titles at 106, 113 and 132 pounds in his first three season with the Vikings, Soler will make a big jump to 170 pounds in his senior season as he attempts to become the first 4A four-time champion since Burke Barnes — the son of Vikings coach Brent Barnes — in 2002.

“If you look at his brother (Eric), who was 145 when he got out of high school and then 190 the next year, they both have that in them,” Brent Barnes said. “He’s comfortable with the weight class he’s at right now and we’re shooting for 170.”

Barnes expects Soler to handle any hoopla surrounding his run at history with his typical poise and calm.

“He is really well-centered and has it together more so than most high school kids,” Barnes said.

Packers stun Lions with Hail Mary

League says no problem with officials, eyeballs say otherwise

Associated Press DETROIT — Aaron Rodgers took the shotgun snap on an untimed down with no time left, shuffled to his left, slipped a sack, rolled right and heaved a pass that seemed as high as it was long.

Richard Rodgers, drifting toward the end zone while teammates and opponents crowded behind him, leaped and made the catch on the 61-yard play to give the Green Bay Packers a stunning 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

“I knew I was going to have to buy some time to allow them to get into the end zone,” Aaron Rodgers said. “I knew once I got outside to the right that I was going to be able to set up and throw.”

The Packers got the untimed down after Detroit defensive end Devin Taylor was called for grabbing Aaron Rodgers’ facemask on a tackle on what would’ve been the last play.

The Packers (8-4) had lost four of five.

“Unfortunately, this counts as one win,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “It feels like more.”

The Lions (4-8) had won three straight and blew a chance to sweep the season series for the first time since 1991.

“Tough one to lose,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “Those are the ones that eat at you. The guys are upset because they gave so much, but we needed one more play. It is never over in this league.”

Matthew Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson on his second touchdown pass of the first quarter to help Detroit build a 20-point lead that it couldn’t keep.

“Not an easy pill to swallow,” Stafford said.

Aaron Rodgers scored on a 17-yard run with 3:04 to go, pulling the Packers within two points.

Stafford connected with TJ Jones to convert a third-and-12 from the Detroit 18 after Green Bay called its final timeout with 2:54 to go. The Lions needed one more first down to seal the victory, but Green Bay forced them to punt and got the ball back on the 21 with 23 seconds remaining.

Following two incompletions, including one in which Detroit appeared to get away with pass interference, Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to James Jones and the ball was lateraled twice, leaving the quarterback with the ball and no one behind him to pitch to keep the play alive.

But Taylor grabbed Aaron Rodgers’ facemask, giving the Packers another play.

“I wasn’t able to get away from those guys, but luckily my facemask was grabbed,” the QB said.

“I’ve never had a completed Hail Mary before,” Aaron Rodgers added.

He has now much to Caldwell’s chagrin.

“We weren’t in a position to get our hands on it,” Caldwell lamented.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson (15) trades jerseys with New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis (24) after the Jets beat the Jaguars 28-23 in an NFL game last month in East Rutherford, N.J. Post-game uniform trading among players has become quite the league trend.

Swapping threads

Trading jerseys is the latest trend in NFL fashion

By Dave Campbell Associated Press

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings had returned from a road trip, and their longtime equipment manager Dennis Ryan was bustling as usual in the back of the locker room preparing the team’s gear for the next practices and game.

He pored over a clipboard, check-marking the piece of paper listing players and numbers to log the arrival of each white jersey used by the Vikings the day before.

“To make sure that we got ’em back,” Ryan explained.

No, the charter airline didn’t lose the luggage. This, rather, has become a weekly ritual for Ryan and his peers around the NFL. Post-game uniform trading among players has become quite the league trend.

“Most of the time, it’s guys that you know really well. It’s already kind of understood: ‘If I don’t have your jersey, I want it,”’ Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said. “And most times, they want yours.

And so you just swap.”

Whether a childhood friend, a college teammate or a challenging opponent, there’s a simple guiding principle behind the exchanges: respect.

The first uniform Williams snagged among the dozenplus he’s collected was Denver outside linebacker Von Miller’s after a game against the Broncos two years ago. Some are framed at home. Others hang in his cubicle at the team facility.

That’s where New York Jets cornerback Dexter McDougle has been keeping a jersey from Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Nolan Carroll, his former teammate and mentor at Maryland.

“I’m just collecting guys who mean something to me or impacted my life,” McDougle said, adding: “I’ll probably get them framed or something, one day when I have a man cave.”

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas boasted

more than 30 opponent uniforms procured over eight NFL seasons for his, uh, wardrobe.

Third-year Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd is on track for an even higher total, a hobby he’s so enamored with he thanked a reporter recently for asking him about it.

“I spend so much time away from my family and friends that I’ve got to have something to look back and say, ‘Yeah, this is why and this is what it’s been,”’ Floyd said. “It’s more of a remembrance thing for me.”

Former Florida Gators are Floyd’s priority, in honor of the alma mater, but Vikings star Adrian Peterson is also on his to-do list. One’s own teammate ought to be the low-hanging fruit of this pastime, but Peterson is predictably a man in demand.

“It seems like every game someone is asking me for it,” the NFL’s rushing leader said.

“Previous years, of course every now and then, but it seems like even more so this year people have been asking.”

Floyd makes a preseason list of his trade targets and presents it to Ryan, as a planning courtesy for the equipment staff.

The collection is not on display yet, just folded safely out of sight at home. That’s to keep his family and friends, Floyd said, from greedily asking for giveaways.

These collections come at a cost.

Each player is issued one home and one road jersey per season, but they’re on the hook for replacements that run, according to Ryan, around $225 each. Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway, playing perhaps the final season of his career, decided ahead of time to buy all 16 so he could have plenty of keepsakes. Granted, these guys make a lot of money, but a jersey for the collection clearly trumps the cash in these cases.

“At least I’m putting it in something that I’m keeping forever,” Floyd said.

Ryan tracks his inventory and sends replacement tallies to the team’s finance department for billing. The team has a bunch of blank jerseys on hand from manufacturer Nike, and each week Ryan visits a local seamstress the Vikings work with to get the names and numbers put on. Usually there are a few per week, maybe five at the most.

Even a couple can cause a headache for the equipment staff, though.

“I was talking to a colleague on another team earlier in the season. He was out in the middle of the field watching it all go on and telling me how angry he gets just watching this,” Ryan said. “I said, ‘You should do what I do.’ He said, ‘What’s that?’ I said, ‘Don’t watch.’ Just wait to check it off on Monday, and your blood pressure will be much lower.”

Most of the Vikings players, like Floyd, give Ryan advance warning of their pending trades. But sometimes this is an impromptu act.

“I’ve had a number of guys come in on Monday apologizing,” Ryan said. “I know the pressure they’re under as well with some college teammate or somebody they grew up with and they want to make the switch.”

Jersey swapping is common in soccer and rugby. Some date the tradition back to 1931, when France beat visiting England in soccer and the winning players were so happy they wanted a keepsake to remember the night. The ritual took off at the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, according to FIFA, and has become routine practice since.

Like almost any trend in the world, it’s fueled from attention originated on social media.

“Now you see every time someone jersey swaps,” Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “Just like you see every time a quarterback handshakes with the other quarterback.”

Jets’ star CB Revis unlikely to suit up vs. Giants Herald news services FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Darrelle Revis sat out practice again and it appears unlikely that the New York Jets cornerback will play against the Giants on Sunday.

Revis suffered a concussion at Houston on Nov. 22 and has not practiced, played or even attended meetings since. That had coach Todd Bowles hardly optimistic that Revis could potentially play with just one day of practice.

“I don’t think so,” Bowles said Thursday. “He didn’t do

anything today, so it’s more likely that he won’t play.”

Since being hurt, Revis has come to the team’s facility for treatment every day and then been sent home. Bowles said Revis did “light exercises” on Thursday, but it doesn’t appear his close to practicing.

This would be the second straight game Revis would miss, but Bowles isn’t concerned that this could be a long-term situation.

“It’s just a matter of when he heals,” he said.

Marcus Williams, Revis’ backup, is also uncertain with a

sprained knee. He didn’t practice for the second straight day, and Bowles says Williams will be a game-time decision.

Vikings’ Peterson honored EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month.

Peterson rushed for 634 yards and five touchdowns on 117 carries in five games in November, setting a team record. The Vikings went 4-1 last month to move into first place in the NFC North.

Rams’ Foles to start vs. Cards ST. LOUIS — With Case Keenum still not completely cleared in the

NFL’s concussion protocol, St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher said that Nick Foles will start at quarterback Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Bills expect DE Williams to play ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams is expected to play against his former team, the Houston Texans, on Sunday after testing his injured foot in practice for a second straight day.

Jaguars WR Hurns uncertain JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns missed a second consecutive day of practice Thursday, but coach Gus Bradley hasn’t ruled him out against Tennessee.

It has not been a good season for NFL zebras trying to earn their stripes.

The NFL is playing defense this week with regard to its officials, throwing a flag on the concept that it is incapable of adequately enforcing its own admittedly confusing rulebook.

Critics, citing a number of conspicuous errors this season, including glaring mistakes in last week’s 49ers and Raiders games, are calling for reforms.

Among them: the hiring of fulltime officials in charge of each crew, advanced use of replay and examination of the hiring practices of younger officials.

Former Fox Sports analyst and former NFL vice president and director of officiating Mike Pereira said he was baffled by what he saw from the 49ers-Cardinals crew that struggled to even keep downs properly counted.

“They’re good guys and generally good officials, but since Week 1 they’ve been living under a dark cloud,” Pereira said this week on KNBR. “If I’m them, I’m thinking, ‘I can’t wait until this season is over so we can focus on next year.’”

At least they won’t be focusing on a marquee game this week; Pete Morelli’s crew was reassigned by the league Monday to keep it further away from the spotlight. But for the NFL officiating crew as a whole, five regular-season games still remain, as well as a postseason and Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

As criticism reached its crescendo, the NFL went on a counter-attack.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said all the scrutiny did was prove the league is well-officiated.

“Through technology we can see things we could never see before,” Goodell said at the NFL owners meetings Wednesday.

“But I think what it does is validate the quality of our officiating.”

NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino, in a phone interview with this news organization, didn’t deny there had been problems but preached perspective.

“The focus and attention is higher than it’s ever been,” Blandino said. “Some of that is a result of some high-profile mistakes that we’ve made this year. We own those and have to make adjustments to get those plays right.

“But when you look at the overall picture, the officiating is not any worse than it’s been.”

With the NFL having developed a New York command center, which it says reviewed 26,000 calls through Week 11, the heightened scrutiny is coming at officials from both sides. Blandino and his crew observe from their crow’s nest on gameday, and are directly in the ear of officials on the field. The mainstream media and vocal fans on social media are also watching closely.

Is the end result an officiating crew that is hesitant to make a call?

“They’re officiating scared right now. That’s obvious,” 49ers radio analyst and former NFL player Tim Ryan told KNBR. “All the eyes on these guys has really forced them to tighten up. They’re throwing some crazy flags out there.”

Former Raiders CEO and CBS analyst Amy Trask agreed.

“I think it’s absolutely natural and predictable that officials would be skittish when every single call and non-call is scrutinized.”

Blandino, who said prospective officials are thoroughly vetted, isn’t so sure.

“I don’t think it affects their judgment,” Blandino said.

“They’ve got 53 players on each team, coaches, 73,000 fans. There’s a lot of pressure to begin with.”

Seahawks tight ends Jimmy Graham (88) and Luke Willson (82) react to a play against Carolina on Oct. 18 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

Stepping up to the plate

Seahawks call on Willson again to fill role of primary tight end

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — The time has arrived for Luke Willson to step up to the plate.

Again.

For the second straight season the Seattle Seahawks tight end has been thrust to the forefront after the man ahead of him in the depth chart went down injured.

Willson, a third-year pro, inherits Seattle’s No. 1 tight end position following the seasonending knee injury suffered

by Jimmy Graham in this past Sunday’s 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But the expanded role is nothing new for the 2013 fifth-round draft pick out of Rice, who went through the exact same scenario last season when Seattle’s starting tight end, Zach Miller, was lost for the season because of an ankle injury. Therefore, Willson is ready to meet the challenge.

“It’s nothing I haven’t been through before and I’m ready to

roll,” Willson said.

“Just experience helps,” Willson added. “Just being through it. We had some wild games last year, especially down the stretch. I feel pretty comfortable. I felt comfortable this entire year. Nothing too crazy to talk about or anything big changing coming up for me. I’m just doing my thing.”

Willson became Seattle’s primary tight end last season after Miller underwent ankle surgery during the Week 4 bye. Willson finished the season with 22 receptions for 362 yards and three touchdowns, including a memorable 139-yard, two-TD performance in the Seahawks’ 35-6 victory over Arizona in the season’s penultimate week.

This season, following the offseason acquisition of Graham, Willson saw his role change as he became more of a blocking tight end and Graham became the primary receiving tight end.

Through 11 games Willson has just 12 catches for 152 yards and one touchdown. He’ll be asked to do more in the passing game

now that Graham is unavailable.

“I have tons of confidence in Luke,” Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. “We really ask him to do a lot of things. We’ve asked him to play the U position when he first got here, which is basically more of the running the routes and all different kinds of routes in the route tree, to moving him over to the Y position where he’s used a lot more in the blocking. He’s kind of at the point of attack more in the run game. You ask him to do different routes there at that Y position, so he’s really just become a really wellrounded tight end in terms of we really can count on him to do just about anything that we ask him to do and know that he’s going to do it pretty well.”

The Seahawks say the offense won’t change now that Graham is gone for the season, though Willson acknowledges it will be difficult to replicate what Graham, a three-time Pro Bowler, brings to the passing attack.

“I think there’s a mix,” Willson

If the Seattle defense has a hole, Shead is the one who’s filling it.

“He’s playing the (personal protector) on punt, he’s on kickoff return, he’s on punt return, he’s a guy who can do it all,” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said. “He’s a jack of all trades and we really appreciate having him because we’ve been in some tight spots this year where we were short on guys. Of course Shead comes in and he can play anything. If one of our (linebackers) went down I’m sure he could play Mike for a couple snaps for us.

“It takes a selfless attitude to be that guy, to have to play safety then nickel then free and then start at the corner, because you don’t really have a job, you don’t really have a specific job title,” Sherman continued. “You just get in where you fit in. For him to take that in stride is admirable.”

This was not necessarily the preordained path for Shead. He was an undrafted rookie out of Portland State who spent nearly two full seasons on Seattle’s practice squad. Prior to this season he had one career start and saw most of his playing time on special teams.

But Shead has taken full advantage of every opportunity handed him this season. Even if he never anticipated the way his season has gone.

“What I did anticipate is just to be ready for whatever happens,” Shead said. “I have played corner, I have played safety — free safety and strong safety. Never have I played nickel, this year is my first year playing nickel. But I try and stay ready for any situation.

“When each week comes I

Seahawks defensive back DeShawn Shead breaks up pass intended for Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant on Sunday afternoon in Seattle

have to know, ‘All right, this is corner so in this concept I have to cover this route. When I’m at safety in this concept I have to cover this spot.’”

Shead performed well at strong safety and nickel corner, but he received his biggest test starting at outside corner opposite Sherman last Sunday in Seattle’s 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Sherman tasked with defending Pittsburgh star receiver Antonio Brown, Shead was given the assignment of staying with the Steelers’ Martavis Bryant. Possessing both size (6-foot-5) and speed, Bryant is Pittsburgh’s big-play threat, and the Steelers

looked to exploit Shead by looking Bryant’s direction early and often with the deep ball.

But Shead proved up to the task. Though Bryant was targeted 13 times to tie for the Pittsburgh team lead, Shead held him to five catches for 69 yards. Shead also finished with four passes defended, many of those on long passes toward Bryant.

“I definitely anticipated getting tested,” Shead said. “You’ve got the best corner in football on the opposite side and me just coming in, people probably think I’m a safety, I anticipated them testing me.

“Overall I thought I did an OK job,” Shead added. “There’s

responded when asked whether Graham’s plays will become his, or whether Seattle’s play calling will change. “There’s some stuff, obviously Jimmy is an incredible talent that we may move away from, to be honest.”

But Seattle sent a message in the game against Pittsburgh. On the play immediately following Graham’s injuries the Seahawks threw to Willson for a 12-yard gain.

“I think (the immediate pass to Willson sent) a lot of subtle messages,” Bevell said. “One, to tell Luke that we have confidence in him. There’s no question that we believe in him. He’s been here, he’s played at a high level for us, and he is appreciated. Two, that it’s not just going to be, ‘OK, that’s dead now and that’s not going to be part of their offense.’

So there’s all kinds of messages that you can send with that.”

definitely some balls I felt I should have grabbed and took out of the air. But overall I felt I did my job. There were definitely plays I left out there and definitely plays I can get better at. So I just feel like I have to go in there and try and get better at the things I made my mistakes on and find ways just to be better.”

Shead’s self-evaluation may have been a bit harsh, but his coaches have a different take, particularly with regards to his versatility.

“He’s truly invaluable in regards to all that he does for us,” Seattle defensive coordinator Kris Richard said. “Whether it’s safety, whether it’s corner, whether it’s nickel, he’s a guy who keeps himself prepared, a guy who keep himself in tip-top shape so we know we can rely on him when we need him.”

Where will Shead ultimately make his living? At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds Shead has the frame one typically sees in an NFL strong safety, and he’s listed as a strong safety on Seattle’s roster. However, the Seahawks pioneered the practice of employing bigger and taller cornerbacks, first with the 6-foot-4, 221-pound Brandon Browner, then with the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Sherman.

Shead fits that mold, which may lead the Seahawks to see Shead’s future as a corner.

“He’s maintained his weight, he’s maintained his speed, and that’s kind of been the beauty of what he’s been able to provide for us,” Richard said. “He’s a guy who’s got great height, he’s about 218 pounds so he has the strength, he’s got the length and he has all the attributes that we look for. It’s a true blessing that he’s able to do everything he does for us.”

So at which position might he find his ultimate home?

“Wherever he wants to,” Richard answered.

more than forever, the Seahawks converted into first downs five times the bad scenes of thirdand-10, or worse.

More remarkably, the deeds were done with no help from RB Marshawn Lynch and a partial game from TE Jimmy Graham.

Two of the top three highest-paid offensive players are injured and done, or almost done, for the season, yet things in 2015 have never looked so good.

The reason is the five anonymous grunts up front finally have their stuff together. Just in time.

At one point on a pace to set a single-season record for sacks allowed, the line against the Steelers was sufficiently stout to permit Wilson to stand semi-tall (it’s the best he can do) in the pocket and throw with the accuracy that one extra second can provide.

He completed 24 of 31 passes for 345 yards, a week after going 24-of29 for 260 against San Francisco.

Pro football is rarely done more efficiently — the Seahawks are last in the NFL in passing attempts (325, one fewer than the Vikings), but No. 2 in yards per attempt (8.4, behind only Arizona at 8.8, and 18 spots ahead of the Vikings, 7.0).

That is why Cable is doffing his chapeau to linemen Russell Okung, Justin Britt, Patrick Lewis, J.R. Sweezy and Garry Gilliam.

Blocks by backs and receivers deserve some credit, as do the glue-hands of the pass-catchers.

It also helps to deploy an uptempo version of the offense.

“I think a few weeks ago, I said we were taking sacks at an alarming rate,” said offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. “That would definitely be an impetus for that.”

The collective outcome is that Wilson throwing fast, deep and well from the pocket, no longer running at the sound of the first thud against one of his blockers. The transformation is noticeable on a personal, as well as statistical, level.

“They play with a lot of fire,” said Earl Thomas, the Seahawks’ All-Pro free safety who can’t help but notice from the sideline.

“Sweezy comes off the field and you could see it in his eyes. He looked at me and was like, ‘You better get the ball back.’

“They want the ball. They’re very hungry. You can see Russ; he’s in the zone, so we’ve got to hold up on our end. We’re up to the challenge.”

You read that properly, longtime Seahawks fans. The defense, once the locomotive, feels an obligation to keep up with the caboose.

Another reason for the uptick is the obvious change at center, Lewis for rookie Drew Nowak.

In thinking Nowak could change from a defensive lineman in college to a starting center in the pros in one season was a serious over-reach. Far easier was to teach Lewis, a shy third-year pro from Texas A&M, to speak up.

“He was kind of quiet and didn’t assume the responsibility to be verbal and to really reach out,” Carroll said. “He’s communicating really well. He’s really taking command of the line of scrimmage.

“Tom pointed out to him that that’s what was holding him back.

We always thought he had the potential.”

The result of the change in people and plays is that Wilson, finally, has developed some trust.

“We didn’t start off the way that we wanted to,” he said. “But as a collective group we’ve really put together a set of games in a row where, up front, they’re doing a phenomenal job.

“We believe in those guys. I know I do.”

Right on time, too. Carroll’s belief in playing young players early in their careers has some obvious negatives, but the positive is described by one word: December.

Since he arrived in Seattle for the 2010 season, Carroll has a 17-7 mark in December, and 7-3 in the postseason. That includes his first-year mark of 2-3 when he was still dealing with the leftovers from the Mike Holmgren/ Jim Mora regimes.

Carroll speaks often about finishing. The notion is not confined to fourth quarters.

“The goal is to get to December with a chance,” Wilson said. “We have a chance.”

As the Christmas carol goes, it’s the most funnest time of the year.

Appeals court: Pistorius murdered his girlfriend

By Christopher Torchia Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG — An appeals court decided Thursday that Oscar Pistorius got away with murder when he stood trial for killing his girlfriend, a ruling that will almost certainly send the disgraced Olympian back to prison.

The court overturned his conviction on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the 2013 shooting death of model Reeva Steenkamp and instead found Pistorius guilty of murder.

The latest dramatic twist in the case of the double amputee runner was “a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions,” wrote Justice Lorimer Eric Leach.

Pistorius, who is under house arrest at his uncle’s mansion in Pretoria, was not in the Bloemfontein courtroom for the verdict. Steenkamp’s mother, June, sat impassively as Leach read the verdict.

The 29-year-old Pistorius served one year of a five-year sentence before being put under house arrest in October.

The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, but exceptional circumstances in the case of the former track star, including time served, his disability and his status as a first-time offender, could mean a lower sentence.

Sentencing is up to the North Gauteng High Court, where Pistorius was tried. South African media said Judge Thokozile Masipa, who presided over the original trial, will handle the matter. No sentencing date has been set.

The Pistorius family said in a statement: “The legal team will study the finding and we will be guided by them in terms of options going forward.”

Steenkamp’s father, Barry, told South African television channel ANN7 that the judgment was fair.

“Let us now all get on with our lives,” he said.

His voice breaking with emotion, he said of his daughter: “I’m sure she’ll be able to rest as well now.”

Pistorius’ trial riveted people around the world because of its gripping

ANJA NIEDRINGHAUS / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oscar Pistorius, shown here competing for South Africa in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, was convicted of murder by an appeals court Thursday, overturning a lower court’s manslaughter conviction.

saga of a celebrity athlete’s plunge from grace by his own actions.

His legs were amputated below the knees when he was 11 months old because he was born without fibula bones due to a congenital defect. However, he grew up playing sports with prosthetics and became a multiple Paralympic champion known as the “Blade Runner” for his carbon-fiber running blades. The sight of Pistorius racing at the 2012 London Olympics was one of the enduring and inspirational images of the games.

“A young man overcomes huge physical disabilities to reach Olympian heights as an athlete,” Leach said while delivering the ruling on behalf of the five-judge appeals court.

“In doing so, he becomes an international celebrity. He meets a young woman of great natural beauty and a successful model. Romance blossoms and then ironically, on Valentine’s Day, all is destroyed when he takes her life,” he said.

The trial also highlighted the issue of violence against women.

Steenkamp, a 29-yearold model who appeared in a reality TV show, had planned to give a speech touching on domestic abuse and family relationships at a school on the day she died.

Pistorius insisted he shot Steenkamp by mistake, thinking there was an intruder behind the door of a toilet cubicle in his home. The prosecution said Pistorius shot Steenkamp during an argument.

Prosecutors in South Africa can appeal convictions on questions of law, and Leach found that Masipa committed an “error in law” by incorrectly applying a legal principle called “dolus eventualis.”

Under that concept, a person can be convicted of murder if he or she foresaw the possibility of someone dying through their actions and went ahead anyway.

Leach said that regardless of who Pistorius said he thought was behind the door, he should have known someone could be killed if he fired.

“The accused ought to have been found guilty of murder on the basis that he had fired the fatal shots with criminal intent,” Leach said.

He also witheringly described Pistorius’ often tearful trial testimony as “vacillating and untruthful.”

Johann Engelbrecht, a criminal lawyer who is not involved in the Pistorius case, said it is doubtful the former athlete’s lawyers could challenge the murder conviction by appealing to the Constitutional Court. He speculated that prosecutors would want the sentencing process to proceed swiftly rather than let Pistorius remain under house arrest for an extended period.

There was no sign of Pistorius outside the home of his uncle, Arnold. As the judge began to read the decision, broadcast live on TV, the uncle was seen rushing into the house.

Later, the uncle drove off in a car.

U.S. Attorney indicts 16 more in FIFA corruption probes Associated Press WASHINGTON — Five current and former members of FIFA’s ruling executive committee were among 16 additional men indicted on corruption charges Thursday as part of U.S. prosecutors’ widening investigation into soccer corruption.

The indictment takes down an entire generation of soccer leaders in South America, a bedrock of FIFA and World Cup history.

“The betrayal of trust set forth here is outrageous,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. “The scale of corruption alleged herein is unconscionable.”

Led away by Swiss federal police in a pre-dawn raid at a Zurich hotel were Juan Angel Napout of Paraguay, president of the South American confederation, and Alfredo Hawit of Honduras, head of the North and Central American and Caribbean governing body. The arrests — at the same hotel where the first raids happened in May — took place just before FIFA’s executive committee

met to approve reform measures.

Ricardo Teixeira, a former Brazilian federation head, also was indicted.

He is the former son-inlaw of Joao Havelange, who was FIFA’s president from 1974-98. In addition, former CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb and former executive committee member Luis Bedoya were among those whose guilty pleas were unsealed.

Eleven current and former members of FIFA’s executive committee have now been charged in the investigation, which alleges hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks. The past three presidents of the regional bodies CONCACAF and CONMEBOL have been indicted.

“The message from this announcement should be clear to every culpable individual who remains in the shadows, hoping to evade our investigation: You will not wait us out.

You will not escape our focus,” Lynch said.

Fourteen men were charged in May, when four additional guilty pleas

were unsealed, with prosecutors alleging bribes involving the media and marketing rights for the Copa America, the CONCACAF Gold Cup and other competitions. Eight more guilty pleas were unsealed Thursday, when the Justice Department announced a 92-count superseding indictment that expands on the earlier charges.

MLS names best goal, save Sporting Kansas City forward Krisztian Nemeth won the MLS Goal of the Year award, and Portland Timbers goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey won the Save of the Year award.

The awards announced Thursday were decided by votes on Major League Soccer’s official website.

Nemeth finished with 10 goals in his first MLS season.

He won for his 10th, a goal against Kwarasey in Portland on Oct. 3, which gave Sporting a 1-0 victory over the Timbers.

Kwarasey’s save came at Real Salt Lake on Aug. 15.

Kwarasey lunged to save Luke Mulholland’s blast from distance that appeared headed for the upper right corner of the goal. The Timbers won 1-0.

Kyle Busch to undergo surgery Associated Press LAS VEGAS — NASCAR champion Kyle Busch will have surgery this month on both the right leg and left foot he broke at the start of the season.

The Dec. 17 surgery is to remove a rod from his leg and plates and screws from his foot. Busch was injured when he crashed into a concrete wall the day before the seasonopening Daytona 500.

He missed 11 races, but returned and reeled off a championship-winning season.

“I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to be cut open

and have blood and guts all over the place again this offseason,” Busch deadpanned Thursday. “I am looking forward to the surgery. I’m looking forward to getting everything out and being able to go through the rehab to try to get back to somewhat normal and being able to not have pain every day and take the medication I have to take every day and all that.”

Meanwhile, Busch teammate Denny Hamlin is not in Las Vegas at the season-ending awards celebration. He had surgery this week to repair a ligament he tore in his

knee playing basketball.

JGR mum on moves LAS VEGAS — Joe Gibbs Racing is not discussing upcoming personnel changes to its four-car Sprint Cup lineup.

Both team owner Joe Gibbs and driver Carl Edwards said they were not ready to comment on speculation crew chief Darian Grubb will move into an engineering role with the organization. Grubb was moved from Denny Hamlin’s car a year ago to crew chief Edwards when JGR expanded to four cars.

“We’re still going through all that right now, and that’s why where we are with the organization, we’re going to wait and I’m not comfortable right now saying what is going to happen,” Gibbs said Thursday.

Eason named Gatorade State Player of the Year

By David Krueger

Past winners

Herald Writer

Lake Stevens quarterback Jacob Eason, regarded as one of the top recruits in the nation, has been named the Gatorade High School Football Player of the Year for the state of Washington.

The award was announced Thursday.

Eason is the second straight Snohomish County athlete to be honored. Austin Joyner of Marysville Pilchuck won the award last season.

Eason, a senior, completed 235 of 338 pass attempts for 3,585 yards and 43 touchdowns this season in leading the Vikings to a 12-1 record and a berth in the Class 4A state semifinals.

Gatorade honors a player in each state based on athletic production and impact, as well as high academic achievement and personal character. Those players are then eligible for the national award.

“He’s definitely a well-rounded individual,” Lake Stevens football coach Tom Tri said of Eason.

“He’s a three-sport athlete. He lettered ... in baseball and basketball his sophomore and junior year.

He’s definitely the complete package. He’s not just a quarterback, he’s not just a football player. He’s a student, he’s a great friend and a leader.”

In addition to his prowess on the football field, Eason

Jacob Eason is the fifth player from Snohomish County to be named the Gatorade State High School Football Player of the Year. Here is a list of the players honored: 1993 Shane Fortney, QB/DB Mariner 2004 Johnie Kirton, RB Jackson 2008 Tony Heard, RB/LB Edmonds-Woodway 2014 Austin Joyner, RB/DB Marysville Pilchuck 2015 Jacob Eason, QB Lake Stevens

volunteers with NEGU (Never Ever Give Up), an organization that helps support children fighting cancer. He also serves as a youth football coach.

Eason maintains a 3.83 gradepoint average and planned to graduate early in order to enroll at the University of Georgia.

However, the firing of Bulldogs head football coach Mark Richt on Sunday has left that plan in doubt. Eason was out of town this week — reportedly visiting the

University of Florida — and could not be reached for comment.

Others, however, had plenty to say about the 6-foot-6, 220-pound quarterback.

“Eason has the fastest release I have ever seen,” Snohomish football coach Kai Smalley in the press release announcing the award. “It is actually very deceiving if you aren’t watching him for a long time. He makes such quick and correct reads, then has the ability to get rid of the ball with great

mechanics. For being as long as he is, you would think he would have a long release but it happens so quickly, it’s nearly impossible for a high school defensive back to get a break on the ball.”

The award is the latest honor for Eason, who will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in the Alamodome on Jan. 9. The game will be broadcast by NBC. On Wednesday, he was named one of six finalists for the 2016 U.S. Army Player of the Year Award, which

is “given to the nation’s most outstanding senior in high school.”

“It’s a great honor,” Tri said. “A great representation of the success that we’ve had on offense.

Obviously, Jake is a big part of that. … I feel like he’s definitely earned it. He’s been a great decision-maker and playmaker for us, not just this year, but (every) year he’s been here. We’re excited for him — and for the recognition.

“It shows all that hard work pays off.”

JOHN BAZEMORE / ASSOCIATED PRESS\

Former Georgia head football coach Mark Richt listens to questions from reporters during a news conference to discuss his departure from Georgia Monday. Richt will be introduced as the new head coach at the University of Miami Friday.

Former Georgia head coach Richt will take over University of Miami Associated Press CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Mark Richt will be introduced as Miami’s new coach on Friday morning.

The university announced Thursday that it will introduce its new football coach on Friday. Miami still has not announced its pick, but a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Richt and the Hurricanes had agreed in principle on a deal that will bring him back to his alma mater.

Richt spent the last 15 years at Georgia, winning two Southeastern Conference titles during his tenure and reaching the 10-victory mark in nine of those seasons. When he and the Bulldogs — who went 9-3 in this regular season but only tied for second in the SEC East — parted ways this week Miami moved quickly to get the 55-year-old Richt back to the place where his college career began as a quarterback from 1979 through his graduation in 1982.

Also, Georgia announced that Richt will not coach the Bulldogs in their upcoming bowl game. Richt was planning to make that his Georgia finale, but the school said he decided otherwise and told his now-former Bulldog players of his decision Thursday.

That move might prevent some serious awkwardness. It’s possible that Georgia and Miami might meet in a bowl game, though neither team is likely to learn its postseason fate before Sunday.

With 145 wins, Richt is proven and that makes him an anomaly for an incoming Miami coach. He comes to Miami with five more wins than the last 10 Hurricane head coaches had combined when they took over, a list that includes Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson, Dennis Erickson and Larry Coker.

Each of those four went on to win national titles in Coral Gables, and now Richt will be asked to contend for the same. He takes over a Miami program that hasn’t won a national championship since 2001, last topped nine wins in 2003, and hasn’t won a bowl game since 2006.

Miami officials were spending the early part of Thursday finalizing plans for the introductory news conference.

It seems likely that Richt will be costing the Hurricanes far more than their last coach. Richt was making about $4 million at Georgia. Former Hurricanes coach Al Golden made just over $2.5 million in 2014, according to tax records. As a private institution, Miami is not

required to publicly release contract information but must disclose the compensation of officers and other top earners on federal forms filed annually.

Golden was fired in October, one day after Miami lost 58-0 to Clemson for the worst loss in the 90-yard history of Hurricane football. Interim coach Larry Scott went 4-1 to close the regular season and is expected to coach Miami in its bowl game, with that site and opponent set to be finalized Sunday.

Memphis hires Norvell Trying to follow the success Justin Fuente had in reviving Memphis’ program, the Tigers are going with another young offensive coordinator in Arizona State’s Mike Norvell as their new head football coach.

A person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press that Norvell will be Memphis’ coach. University President Dr. M. David Rudd wrote on Twitter late Thursday afternoon that he hired a “great football coach” who would be introduced at a news conference Friday. That coach is Norvell, according to a person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the hiring hasn’t been announced yet.

The Commercial Appeal in Memphis first reported Norvell’s hiring.

The 34-year-old Norvell replaces Justin Fuente, who was hired by Virginia Tech on Sunday after four years at Memphis. Fuente came to Memphis after a stint as TCU’s co-offensive coordinator.

Norvell will take over a program in much better shape than what Fuente found. The Tigers had gone 5-31 during the three years before Fuente was hired. The Tigers went 10-3 in Fuente’s third season, won a bowl game and finished No. 25 in the Top 25 for the first end-of-season ranking in Memphis’ history.

Fuente left the Tigers with a 9-3 record and bowl-bound again, though he won’t coach them in that game. The Tigers averaged 510.4 yards per game and scored 42.6 points a game.

Memphis is working on an indoor practice facility, and local officials are talking about further improvements to the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

Norvell may have to replace redshirt junior Paxton Lynch, the quarterback who threw for 3,670 yards with 28 touchdowns and only three interceptions this season.

Norvell has run the Sun Devils’ offense for the last four years under coach Todd Graham and was promoted to deputy head coach in December 2013. Norvell started coaching as an offensive graduate assistant at Central Arkansas where he started all four seasons and was the school’s career receptions leader.

Missouri promotes Odom COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri has promoted defensive coordinator Barry Odom to replace the retiring Gary Pinkel as head coach.

The school said in a release Thursday night that Odom had agreed in principle to a five-year deal that will need to be approved by the school’s board of curators next week.

The 39-year-old Odom will be formally introduced Friday at a news conference.

Give: Red Cross seeks blood donations The American Red Cross urges you to give a very special gift this holiday season with a blood or platelet donation.

“During the winter months and especially around the holidays, blood donations tend to decline,” said Daphne Mathew, communication manager of the Red Cross Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region. Donors with all types, especially O negative, B negative and A negative, are urged to give. Platelet donors and those with type AB blood also are continually needed.

Granite Falls High rocks in holiday giving

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

GRANITE FALLS — It starts with word of mouth.

A teacher worried about a student. A student worried about a friend. A friend worried about a neighbor.

That’s how volunteers with the Granite Falls School District’s annual food and gift drive start building a list of families in need.

They expect to “adopt” more than 200 local families this year, providing each with nonperishable food, a coupon for holiday meal supplies and gifts.

The food drive has been a December tradition since 2003, when there were three student coordinators and 40 families to feed. They collected 7,209 items and it seemed like chaos putting it all together, food drive adviser Eric Dinwiddie said.

On Tuesday, 13 student coordinators, all juniors and seniors, gathered in a classroom to plan and talk. Last year, volunteers collected more than 22,000 items and $10,500. They’ve set this year’s goal at 22,000 items and $11,000 in cash and gifts.

They kicked things off Monday with a school assembly and video, hoping to get students excited about helping. Homeroom classes compete to see which can bring in the most food and money.

“I saw a food drive video my seventh grade year and thought, ‘Wow, I want to do that,’” student volunteer Cassie O’Brien said.

“It’s a good experience to help other people and know what it’s like to make a difference in someone else’s life.”

Many food drives collect items that are distributed by a local or regional food bank, assistant adviser Trudy Sullivan said.

That’s not the case in Granite Falls. From start to finish, the effort stays in-house.

Volunteers build the list of families and track information such as ages and people per household. They know how much to box up and which boxes need diapers, baby food and other specific items.

Students ask local businesses to sponsor the food drive by donating money or letting students stand out front and collect donations.

The food and gift drive continues until Dec. 14. Items can be dropped off at the Granite Falls high school, alternative school, middle school or either of the elementaries. There also is a giving tree in each school with requests from local families.

“A lot of people, they’re not asking for wants, they’re asking for needs,” student volunteer Jeremy Miller said. “They’re asking for pillows or sheets or a pair of socks.”

Fellow volunteer Katy Phillips knows what it’s like to need a helping hand. She and her mom had some tough years when she was younger. Many of her friends and family still do, and she directs them to the food drive or other places where they can get support.

“I’ve been in those positions where you need help or you need food stamps or you’re staying at someone’s house because you can’t pay for something,” she said. “I like that I can be part of a solution to something I’ve actually grown up with.”

About a third of the families who are receiving food this year are students’ families. Staff volunteers deliver to those homes to protect privacy. A lot of students don’t want their peers to know that they struggle at home,

More needs Items needed for the food drive include: ■ Water, juice and drink mixes ■ Baking supplies such as flour and sugar ■ Rice, pasta and cereal Dinwiddie said. They help with the food drive, standing in front of stores for hours with their friends to collect donations without ever letting on that some of those items are to feed their parents and siblings.

“One thing I really appreciate about our students is how much they take care of each other,” Dinwiddie said. “I can’t believe how many of the students who are receiving the food actually sign up to stand in front of the stores.”

Volunteers plan to deliver food Dec. 16 and 17. The students who put in time collecting items get to help bring food to the families. That’s the most rewarding part of the experience.

Sullivan remembers the first time she delivered food. It was for the family of a student, though she didn’t know who

■ Canned soup, fruit and vegetables ■ Peanut butter and jelly ■ Baby food and supplies ■ Toiletries such as shampoo and deoderant ■ Pet food

until they opened the door. She and the parent cried when they saw each other.

“That’s when it all clicked for me,” she said.

Those moments motivate former students to come back and help. One saves up his change every year and donates it to the food drive. Dinwiddie expects the students to make giving back to their community a lifelong habit. Having them deliver the food and meet the families is a good way to get them hooked on helping.

Those moments are why Miller decided to help with the food drive this year.

“Just to see the look on someone’s face when you hand them a box of food and say here’s something to get you by for a while, we’ve got your back,” he said.

MILITARY UPDATE | Tom Philpott

Congress, beneficiary groups prepare for health reforms

L

ast January the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission proposed replacing the current triple option Tricare benefit with a menu of commercial insurance options, similar to those offered to federal civilians, but with a break on premiums except for working age retirees.

As the military community studied those details, the Obama administration released its latest defense budget, which continued a pattern, adopted during the George W. Bush administration, of proposing hefty Tricare fee increases, particularly for younger and non-disabled retirees.

After months of consideration, Congress rejected both paths for the 9.5 million military health care beneficiaries. Instead, the big legislative lift for 2015 was an overhaul of military retirement for future generations.

Now eyeing 2016, the chairmen of the House and Senate armed services committees promise to begin to reform the $50 billion military health system. Their staffs already are doing groundwork.

Beneficiary associations, recognizing the serious intent of the two powerful committees, are urging they keep as a priority the needs of military families, retirees and Reserve and Guard members as well as sacrifices made daily by active duty forces.

Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, chairman of the House

IN UNIFORM Active Duty Guardsmen and Reservists can nominate an employer or supervisor for their support of the employee’s military service through the Employers Support of the Guard and Reserve Patriot Award. Spouses of service members also are eligible to nominate their supportive supervisor. For more information about ESGR employer

committee, said reforms will begin not with the commission’s recommendations but with its findings — what it learned of weaknesses and inefficiencies in the system.

“Part of where we begin is with their…concerns about access [and] about the way Tricare functions,” Thornberry said. But “the first purpose of the military health care system is to have service members able to fight and win our wars, and to take care of them as they do.”

In this first year as chairman, Thornberry not only tackled retirement but took first steps to overhaul the defense acquisition system. He suggested health reform, like fixing acquisition, might occur in stages. “I don’t know that we’re going to come in with some sweeping package and overhaul the whole system,” he said. “I want to be careful that we don’t do unintended damage.”

Thornberry said he can and will rely on the military health care expertise of personnel subcommittee chairman Rep. Joe Heck, (R-Nev., a career Army Reserve physician who “lives and works in that system.”

What Thornberry knows is that problems with access and quality of care vary by location, with rural areas particularly challenged. He also has met “at least some Tricare providers who believe they can provide significantly better service if they can bring some of what they’re doing in private

recognition programs, call Washington ESGR Camp Murray at 253-5128253 or the national ESGR office at 800-336-4590.

sector into Tricare. That’s something we want to explore.”

Tricare regulations “might be limiting their ability to offer the access to service, maybe even quality, that they are able to offer other places.”

On whether beneficiaries should pay more for their health benefit, Thornberry said that would be decided as part of a wider reform focus. “The Pentagon keeps sending over these proposals, year after year, to take more money out of folks’ paychecks, and that’s it,” he said.

“That’s not right. We need to look at the broader Tricare system, see how it might be improved.

Perhaps that might involve some higher fee or premiums; I don’t know. But we need to look at it in broader context: the purpose of the military health care system, the role it plays in pay and benefits, in recruitment and retention, over the long term.”

He added, “There may well be some higher fees, but there ought to be greater benefit that goes with it.” For example, he said, a better system of scheduling initial health care appointments and timely referrals.

He and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, “have agreed that Tricare reform will be a major subject of emphasis for us in the coming year,” Thornberry said.

The Military Coalition, an umbrella group of 34 military associations and veterans groups, has prepared principles and goals to consider for health care reform in 2016.

Most associations reject the commission’s Tricare Choice Plan as going too far to replace current Tricare offerings. However, there’s agreement that continuity of care is a problem for Guard and Reserve members.

So Reserve Officers Association is urging adoption of the commission’s Tricare Reserve Choice plan if alternative fixes to reserve component health care fail to advance soon.

Some advocates argue Tricare beneficiaries simply need to be better educated on the value of using Tricare Standard, the feefor-service option, in areas where managed care in Tricare Prime networks is limited.

share his views on Tricare reform with House committee staff.

Cowan told them Tricare works, he said, and rejected the commission’s claim that the current system is broken.

Military direct care, Cowan said, is sized to support war plans. It is not big enough to take care of all families, retirees and other beneficiaries. So it purchases care via Tricare networks and programs.

When military doctors need more patients for training, they pull more back into direct care.

As proof the concept works, Cowan pointed to military medicine’s performance in recent wars, including a “90-percentplus survival rates from some of the most horrible war wounds mankind has ever seen.”

The system can be made to operate more efficiently, to see more patients and provide more timely care, Cowan said. But he doesn’t feel replacing current Tricare with commercial insurance plans is the solution.

The commissioners shaped its recommendations “through only the prism of the disaffected. If you only look for problems, you only see problems.”

In doing so it missed what’s working well, including the new Defense Health Agency, which is implementing system-wide efficiencies. “It’s been, in my view, spectacularly successful,” Cowan said.

Refund sought for Alitalia ‘comfort’ seat

DAILY CROSSWORD

Question: My wife and I recently flew from New York to Rome. On our outbound flight on Delta Air Lines, we purchased “Comfort+” seats, which offer more legroom.

We tried to pay for the same upgrade on our return flight, but since it was a codeshare flight with Alitalia, I was told I had to buy it directly from Alitalia.

I then contacted Alitalia and purchased comfort seats for both me and my wife at a cost of $95 each. When we checked in online prior to departure, we were assigned seats that did not appear to be comfort seats. When I tried to select what were designated as “comfort” seats, I received a message on the Web page stating that they would cost an additional $75 per person.

I then contacted Alitalia by phone and was told that our comfort seats were reserved and I would have to go back online to cancel our checkin, and begin the process over again in order to get the comfort seats along with our boarding passes.

I attempted to do this, and once again I received a message that we would have to pay $75 per person for the seats. So I did.

When we arrived at the airport, I explained the situation at the baggage counter, and a helpful employee was able to offer us the

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

comfort seats, but advised us that they were in an exit row.

Since my wife is fearful of flying and takes medication to enable her to fly, sitting in an exit row is not feasible, as she would be unable to assist in the case of an emergency.

To add insult to injury, Alitalia charged me for my checked bag, even though I had frequent-flier status with Delta. I’ve requested a refund of $265, but so far, Alitalia has refused. Can you help?

— Carmine Costa, Hartford, Conn.

Answer: If Alitalia sold you “comfort” seats, it should have provided you with them. And if you were entitled to a “free” checked bag, you should have received one.

But let’s take a quick step back from this discussion. The “comfort” seat you paid extra for has about the same amount of legroom as the average economy-class ticket of

5. The ____ belt is located between Mars and Jupiter.

a decade or so ago. Every coachclass seat should have at least that much space. Curiously, calling them “comfort” seats implies that the rest of the economy seats are uncomfortable, which they are.

And when it comes to luggage, do you know anyone who doesn’t fly with at least one bag?

My point is, no one should have to pay extra for these items. Airlines (and it’s not just Alitalia) are charging you for something that should be included in their product.

Maybe all of us deserve a refund.

But back to your issue. Although there appears to have been a glitch with the upgrade that forced you to pay for it twice, Alitalia eventually offered you and your wife a “comfort” seat, albeit in the exit row. By the way, exit-row seats are coveted by experienced air travelers, because they have even more legroom than the upgraded economy seats.

When you couldn’t use the exit-row seats, you should have received an immediate refund.

Ditto for the baggage fee. I contacted Alitalia on your behalf. It said the first upgrade fee of $95 had been refunded, but because of an “oversight,” the second upgrade fee was overlooked. Alitalia is reimbursing you for the full $265.

Woman is stuck in a loveless marriage Dear Abby: After a marriage of many years, I have come to realize ours has become simply one of convenience. My husband is a negative and controlling person who gripes about everything and anything. He has developed no friendships or interests of his own, and I have to battle with him to even have a day to myself.

How many other women are like me — stuck in loveless marriages without the resources to live on our own? — In Limbo Out West Dear In Limbo: If my mail is any indication, you have lots of company in your boat. Many women stay because they are afraid to live alone or see nothing better on the horizon. No third party can or should answer this question for you. Make a list of the pros and cons of your marriage, tally them up and weigh the cons against how you feel living the life you are living now. A licensed counselor may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Dear Abby: I’m a busy sixth-grade girl who has played piano for seven years. But my busy schedule gets in the way of piano because I have to prep for competitions. I love the piano, but I still need to keep up with my school schedule. If I tell my grandma I want to quit piano, she’ll be disappointed. I already quit violin in orchestra. So this means my music life will be over.

Chong looks back on bit — and pot Los Angeles Times

LAS VEGAS — Dave’s not here.

For more than a generation, for both the young and the not-so-young anymore, those three words have become synonymous with a state of chemically induced confusion.

They’re the brainchild of Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong, the up-in-smoke comedy duo who in the 1970s first captured the spacey hilarity and wild wonderment of being high on pot, stoned to the bejesus.

“Dave’s Not Here,” Cheech and Chong’s first recorded comedy riff back in the days of vinyl, involves a pothead so bonkered he doesn’t know where or who he is, bedeviling a friend who shows up at his door.

Not long ago, Chong shared the story behind the routine that’s still religiously recited today, even by people who’ve never smoked pot.

Chong, 77, had come to Las Vegas for the second annual Hempfest Carnival and Marijuana Expo. While he was discussing a new cannabis-based business venture, the conversation wandered and somehow turned to Dave.

(Soft knocks at the door) Chong: Who is it?

Cheech: It’s me, Dave, man. Open up. I got the stuff.

Chong: Who? Cheech: It’s Dave, man.

Open up. I think the cops saw me come in here.

Nowadays, the longtime advocate of legalized marijuana isn’t just smoking pot to get high: Chong says regular use of the drug helped him beat back prostate cancer in 2012. This year, Chong announced that he had been diagnosed with rectal cancer and had started a new cannabis regimen.

In fact, Chong was stoned when he talked about his partnership in a new venture called Cannabis Club TV, or CCTV, founded by two Santa Cruz partners who want to place their marijuana-themed programming in pot dispensaries from coast to coast.

Looking thinner than the days when he sported a gnarly beard and bandanna along with fellow Grammy Award winner Marin, Chong didn’t flinch when asked to estimate how much pot he’d smoked in his life.

“We calculated it when we had nothing to do,” Chong said of himself and his partner, as he sat in an RV parked not far from the Strip.

He paused.

“Maybe a little over . definitely a little over a pound.”

And his preferred delivery vehicle: bong or joint?

“My favorite way of getting high,” he explained, “is inhaling.”

Chong: Who is it?

Cheech: It’s Dave, man.

Will you open up? I got the stuff with me.

Chong: Who? Cheech: Dave, man.

Open up.

Chong: Dave?

ROBERT GAUTHIER / LOS ANGELES TIMES

Cheech Marin (right) and Tommy Chong pose for a portrait in Los Angeles.

Chong, a native Canadian, says he was living in Vancouver in the 1960s when he met Marin, who had fled the U.S. to avoid the Vietnam draft.

At the time, Chong ran a strip club he later converted into an improv theater. The two hooked up and began smoking pot together, laughing and dreaming up comedy bits.

When asked whether he ever dreamed back then that marijuana would one day be legal in some states, Chong replied: “I never really accepted the fact that it wasn’t legal. When I began smoking pot, it wasn’t illegal because nobody knew what it was.”

He added: “I’d tell people that funny smell was a new kind of Italian cigarette.”

Eventually, Cheech and Chong signed a contract with record producer Lou Adler. In the early 1970s, they holed up in the old Charlie Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, then the headquarters for A&M records, and got down to writing comedy.

They’d show up for work in the afternoon.

“We’d look at each other for a while and then one of

us would finally say, ‘Are ya hungry?’ And we’d go get something to eat,” Chong recalled. “We’d talk about things going on in our lives till we got back to the studio.”

Then one would have to go to the bathroom. Oh, yeah, Chong added, almost as an after-thought, that’s where they’d toke up.

“We’d come out of the bathroom with an idea,” he said. “We recorded it on a little tape player. We’d play it back; see what it needed.”

One sweltering summer afternoon, in their little room at the studios, one that Chaplin himself once used, Marin stepped out onto the studio lot for a bit, presumably to score some pot.

“Cheech was a Method actor,” Chong recalled. “He had to put on costumes when he does a bit to become that person, even if it’s a hat or an overcoat.”

Marin was gone for a while, and it was 110 degrees in the courtyard, the sun beating down hard.

The studio door locked from the inside.

“So he knocked on the door, and I was supposed to let him in, but I wanted to make sure the recording was working,” Chong said. “The second time he knocked, I saw that the needle was moving, so I started the bit.”

Marin had no idea what was going on.

“Who is it?” Chong asked.

“It’s me, man. Open up. I got the stuff.”

Chong continued to

play dumb.

“It’s me, man. Let me in, man. I think the cops saw me.”

Chong, gleefully recalling what happened next, said: “Now I got him right where I want him. When he knocked again, I asked, ‘Who is it?’ in that stupid voice.”

He continued: “I could hear the anxiety. He was dying of heat exhaustion.

The last time I told him I wasn’t there, he blew it. He went nuts.”

Chong opened the door.

“I really feared for my life,” he said. “For a second, I thought he was going to kill me.”

Violence was averted, however, when Chong told his partner: “Listen, listen, listen. Play back the tape.”

The two roared with laughter, replaying the tape for an hour or more. They took it to Adler, who also liked it but wanted the pair to re-record the riff in a big studio.

Chong recalled it as a missed opportunity.

“The one you hear on the record is funny,” he said.

“But it’s nowhere near as funny as the one I recorded — the original one.”

They used the name Dave, by the way, in honor of a comedian they worked with back in Vancouver.

Cheech: Dave! D-A-V-E! Will you open up the ... door!

Chong: Dave?

Cheech: Yeah, Dave!

Chong: Dave?

Cheech: Right, man. Dave.

Now will you open up the door?

Chong: Dave’s not here.

Today’s highlight: On Dec. 4, 1965, the United States launched Gemini 7 with Air Force Lt. Col. Frank Borman and Navy Cmdr.

James A. Lovell aboard on a two-week mission. (While Gemini 7 was in orbit, its sister ship, Gemini 6A, was launched Dec. 15 on a one-day mission; the two spacecraft were able to rendezvous within a foot of each other.)

On this date: In 1214, Alexander II became King of Scots at age 16 upon the death of his father, William the Lion.

In 1619, a group of settlers from Bristol, England, arrived at Berkeley Hundred in present-day Charles City County, Virginia, where they held a service thanking God for their safe arrival.

In 1783, Gen. George Washington bade farewell to his Continental Army officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York.

In 1945, the Senate approved U.S. participation in the United Nations by a vote of 65-7.

‘Janis’ doc unpeels layers of a complicated soul Her beatnik attitude and bluesy voice led her to San Francisco during the Summer of Love

ROBERT HORTON

F

or many, many years now, people have been talking about doing a proper big-screen biopic of Janis Joplin. Just about every actress in Hollywood — from Bette Midler in her youth to Amy Adams — has been touted as the next person to play Janis.

Still hasn’t happened.

One thing I always wondered about these efforts: Would the actress playing Janis sing in her own voice, or would they use Joplin’s recorded tracks?

Big question. Because nobody sounded like Janis Joplin.

A new documentary, “Janis: Little Girl Blue,” narrated by Cat Power, gives a reminder of the storytelling possibilities in Joplin’s saga.

Born in Port Arthur, Texas, in 1943, Joplin was a misfit kid whose beatnik attitude and bluesy voice led her eventually to the Haight-Ashbury scene in San Francisco.

And so she experienced the Summer of Love, hung out with the Grateful Dead, and bowled people over with her singing.

After getting together with Big Brother and the Holding Company, her rise to prominence was swift.

The fall was swift, too,

“Janis: Little Girl Blue” charts the rise and fall of rock star Janis Joplin. The film includes interviews with members of Big Brother and the Holding Company, Dick Cavett, childhood friends and her siblings.

because Joplin was dead in 1970, age 27. The emotional need that fueled her incredible stage performances found some relief in heroin and alcohol, until her substance abuse caught up with her.

Director Amy Berg interviews Joplin’s old colleagues, and it’s good to hear people speak of her without turning her into a plaster saint.

The members of Big Brother are articulate about Joplin, and so are

“Janis: Little Girl Blue” ★★★ Documentary portrait of Janis Joplin, from misfit kid in Port Arthur, Texas, to psychedelic diva of the San Francisco scene.

Interviews with friends and colleagues give a rounded portrait, and some well-handled live performance footage is eloquent testimony to Joplin’s unique power as a singer.

Rating: Not rated; probably PG-13 for language, subject matter Showing: SIFF Uptown her childhood friends and her well-spoken siblings.

Dick Cavett shares

pieces of interviews with Joplin on his talk show — and also implies the two

had an intimate relationship. An odd couple if ever there was one.

Old photographs help paint the story, too. Seeing Joplin’s parents in Eisenhower-era photos gives some sense of what kind of bombshell went off in their family when Janis arrived.

Of course, the real draw is the music and concert footage.

Berg is wise in letting a couple of significant Joplin performances play out

in unedited glory, instead of just editing together snippets.

Janis Joplin’s personality, as it emerges in interviews and her own writing, is not merely the howling, bombastic belter of the stage. By turns cheerful, innocent, and determined, Joplin emerges as a fragile soul, her nerve endings exposed to the world.

But if you’ve heard her music, that will come as no shock.

Spike Lee’s ‘Chi-Raq’ so outlandish you can’t look away

By Robert Horton

“Chi-Raq” ★★

Herald Movie Critic

His lifetime-achievement Oscar — awarded last month — was a reminder that Spike Lee makes movies that aren’t remotely like anybody else’s. “Chi-Raq,” for instance, is one enormously bizarro film.

Any filmmaker might make a study of inner-city violence, circa 2015. But only Lee would play it as an update of an ancient Greek comedy, with rhyming dialogue, song-and-dance sequences, and direct address to the audience.

It’s also got Samuel L. Jackson as a natty onscreen narrator and Wesley Snipes as a one-eyed gang leader named Cyclops. But that should come as no surprise.

In other words, Lee is really letting it rip here.

And although in a variety of ways “Chi-Raq” is overbearing and stilted, the thing is so unusual you can’t help keeping your eyes glued to the screen.

The title suggests that the gang turf of Chicago has approached the level of a war-torn Middle Eastern country. The neighborhood women are fed up with their community getting killed in the crossfire.

And so — borrowing

Spike Lee is in vintage form here, serving up an adaptation of “Lysistrata” that sets the ancient Greek play in 2015 Chicago, as the women withhold sex from their men until the violence in their community stops. Served in rhyming dialogue with musical sequences, Lee does his usual lecturing — but the film is just so bizarre you can’t take your eyes off it.

Rating: R, for nudity, language, violence Showing: Showing: Alderwood Mall, Cascade Mall the plot device from “Lysistrata,” the classic Greek play by Aristophanes — the women announce that they will withhold sex from their men until the violence stops.

Lysistrata (Teyonah Parris) puts the brakes on her relationship with Demetrious (Nick Cannon). He’s the leader of the gang that wears purple; Cyclops (that’s Snipes, in whimsical form) leads the gang that

As in his most hectoring works, Spike Lee wants to ring a bell, the better to wake people up. Given that the first words in the film are “This Is an Emergency,” this crazy, clumsy movie is more like an air-raid siren.

Grouchy Chef: Gourmet food — with a side of shush Special to the Herald

The inside of Grouchy Chef is intense.

Paper cranes hanging from the ceilings, walls covered with photos and all sorts of Americana, and a big quote, apparently from the chef himself, describing how Americans have lost their way and need to get back to being the proud, industrious people he looked up to back in the day.

When we finally sat down, my wife, Elizabeth, and I were sufficiently nervous. Obviously this guy has strong ideals. My wife ordered first and took awhile.

He said something abruptly that I couldn’t understand, and in my nervousness, I began to order. He held up a finger and shushed me, paused, then allowed Elizabeth to continue.

If this was an act, he was definitely in character.

For the main entrees, Elizabeth ordered the lamb and mashed potatoes and I ordered

the Asian beef skewer with mashed potatoes.

A four-course dinner for 15 bucks each!

We paid as soon as we ordered (cash only), and he zoomed off.

There were maybe five other tables occupied besides our own.

The chef, Takayuki Masumoto, expertly juggled between waiting on tables and cooking. Although he was brusque, he was incredibly prompt and efficient and we were never waiting long between courses.

First course was a plate filled with interesting little hors d’oeuvres, cheeses, little bread things, a wedge of salad as well as other things we couldn’t really quite identify. It was colorful and pretty. We both enjoyed the variety as well as the interesting little bits that tasted like things we couldn’t quite put our finger on.

One thing to note: He had set down two spoons, two forks and two knives. It felt like a game of proper-etiquette Russian roulette.

I was already a little nervous over the first bit of the “Grouchy Chef experience” and was nervous

to our own plates, which was a shame, because I bet she would have really liked mine.

At one point around this time, the people next to us asked for a box. Masumoto gave them one, but not before reprimanding them (rather loudly) on how if they get sick eating leftovers, that it’s THEIR fault and not HIS fault.

Elizabeth and I just looked at each other wide-eyed trying not to laugh.

Fourth course: Another miniature little smorgasbord, but with dessert treats: cookies, coffeeflavored ice cream, sorbet and flan. Again, we really dug the variety of things, which felt very Asian to us (even though it seems he’s going for highfalutin French presentation).

All in all, although he was brusque and grouchy as his restaurant name implies, Masumoto never went overboard. He just seemed like an incredibly idealistic fellow who works really hard at his job, and wants everyone to work really hard at being proper customers in his fine dining establishment.

d’oeuvres. When he picked up my plate, he picked up the used fork and placed it on the plate he had taken, but when he picked up the knife, he was about to place it on the plate, but paused, wiped the knife, and placed it back on my napkin, taking the unused knife instead.

He did all of this silently. It felt like he was politely showing me the proper tools to use, without actually telling me, which I found to be a strange courtesy of sorts.

Second course: Some sort of curry lentil soup, which was good and my favorite course of the night. I’m usually not so opinionated when it comes to soup, but man, I was blown away at how perfect the soup was. It had a deep rich curry-like flavor, and hit all these earthy and savory umami notes. Loved it.

Third (main) course: Very small and tidy portions. My glazed beef skewers, which came on a bed of mashed taters, were very tasty. Elizabeth and I usually let each other try a bite of the others main courses, but we were too nervous. So we kept our forks

Red Curtain brings ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ to life A few differences from the classic film gives the audience a fresh view

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The story of George Bailey, immortalized in the 1946 Frank Capra film, is presented in a different form by an earnest and talented group of community thespians through Dec. 13 at the Red Curtain Arts Center.

“It’s a Wonderful Life,” a two-act play adapted from the movie by James W. Rodgers, is about an Everyman of the Greatest Generation.

It’s about your grandfather, who perhaps never completely followed his dreams and never left his hometown.

He’s a beloved good guy, who having come through the Great Depression, suffers a devastating blow to his business, which he believes dooms his family’s livelihood and the trust of his neighbors.

It’s Christmas Eve in Bedford Falls and George Bailey is standing on the river bridge contemplating suicide, wishing he had never been born.

The play was first produced just 22 years ago. In its 90 minutes (including intermission), the play takes the viewer back in time through the major events of Bailey’s life. Many scenes from the well-known movie are only alluded to in the play.

In the opening scene, for example, Bailey’s guardian angel only mentions that George had saved his brother’s life after Harry fell through pond ice when they were

boys. In the interest of brevity and accessibility to community and school theater groups, the play drops a few memorable parts of the movie.

My husband, a fan of the Capra movie, missed Zuzu’s petals. For those who remember, in one scene George talks to his youngest daughter about a rose she received at school. As a few petals fall off, George “pastes” them back on, hiding the petals in his pocket.

When Bailey — who has been shown how bleak his community is without him — is praying at

If you go “It’s a Wonderful Life”: Directed by Beckye Randall, the play continues its run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through Dec. 13 at Red Curtain Arts Center, 1410 Grove St., Marysville. For tickets, call 360-322-7402.

the bridge to get his life back, he reaches into his pocket.

Zuzu’s petals are there.

The Red Curtain folks carry off this simpler stage version of “It’s a Wonderful Life” with great confidence. The message is clear that even

small gestures of good will can change lives.

Director Beckye Randall and her crew have done well.

Colin Parker Stephens is great as George Bailey.

It helped that Stephens had no intention of playing the character as

Jimmy Stewart did in the movie. Because of that, it was easier to see the story fresh and better enjoy its timeless message.

Mary Kay Voss is delightful in the role of Clara Odbody, the guardian angel. No, not Clarence. Clara.

And again, the difference in approach helped the audience not to compare the production with the movie.

Mary Hatch Bailey is played by Chrissy Dott, who may have watched Donna Reed as Mary in the film, but who nevertheless makes

the character fun and believable.

Among others who do well in the production are Richard Morris as Mr. Gower, Vicki Lynn Maxey as Mother Bailey, Chaz Pitman and Janice Hastings as Uncle Billy and Aunt Tilly, Steve Smith as Bert the policeman, Colleen Cappelletti as Violet and Dan Niven as the mean Mr. Potter.

Rounding out the cast are Scott Randall, Noah Mooring, Edward Scott, Stephen Waters, Pat Brady, Christie Harrell, Jeff Lemke, Jackie Glassman, Samantha Hogue, Trevor Glassman, Isabelle Acoba and little Kara Glassman as Zuzu Bailey.

The Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts has stepped up to provide community theater in north Snohomish County after the loss of several theater groups in the area over the years.

The group’s good intentions should be rewarded with good audiences for this good show.

Red Curtain could also use some financial support as well. The former lumber building on Grove Street that the group has rented for the past two years has been sold and Red Curtain has until the end of the year to move out.

The remainder of the Red Curtain theater season will go on as planned, whether it’s in a new home or in a rented space.

PNB’s new ‘Nutcracker’ a worthy show

By Gale Fiege

If you go

Herald Writer

SEATTLE — The new Pacific Northwest Ballet production of “The Nutcracker” is enchanting and deserves every bit of the positive attention it’s receiving.

Some diehard fans of PNB’s decades-old, but much-beloved Maurice Sendak/Kent Stowell version of the ballet, might find the first act a tad bit boring. Maybe it’s not scary enough or doesn’t take advantage of Tchaikovsky’s music in quite the same way.

But the second act of the new Ian Falconer/ George Balanchine production is absolutely gorgeous.

Balanchine’s classic Nutcracker choreography is, of course, not new. The late ballet master created it in 1954 for the New York City Ballet, and ballet companies around the world perform the midcentury modern piece each December.

Especially wonderful in the second act is the Waltz of the Flowers, in part because PNB’s talented corps de ballet (also seen as the Snowflakes in the first act) embodies the strength of Balanchine’s choreography.

Falconer, the children’s book author and illustrator (“Olivia” the pig), has previous stage design experience, so his work designing the Nutcracker’s costumes and sets was not a stretch. Falconer was in attendance the first weekend of the production and looked to enjoy himself a great deal as he waved to the cheering audience.

Falconer’s signature stripes and splashes of

red are everywhere, but he also stepped out of the gray and black background comfort zone in the “Olivia” book series to came up with rich color combinations. I am thinking again of the Flowers, who are dressed in fabulous coral-orange-pink with their accompanying Dewdrop in bright green.

Falconer’s Olivia even makes an appearance.

There she is on the left of the stage, dressed in red and white stripes, seated in a painted opera house box seat, enjoying the show. The rich, perhaps haughty, lady next to Olivia peers at the charming pig through her lorgnette. The scene sets the stage for fun.

makers of the sets and costumes, all built and sewn in-house, a shoutout to glass artist Dale Chihuly, whose team constructed a huge glass star for the production, and

kudos to lighting designer James Ingalls.)

Most people recall the Nutcracker’s Christmas Eve story (Balanchine’s is based on the Alexandre Dumas version of the

1816 E.T.A. Hoffman tale) in which young Clara falls asleep after a big party thrown by her parents and dreams (or does she?) that her new nutcracker soldier doll is battling the mouse king.

The nutcracker slays the mouse and becomes a prince, he crowns Clara his princess and they (still children) are whisked off to a land far away.

In the Land of the Sweets, Tchaikovsky’s music and Balanchine’s ballet jibe seamlessly.

The night I attended, Seth Orza was Herr Drosselmeier, Eden Anan played Clara and Joh Morrill was the nutcracker prince.

The young PNB students in both acts did well.

Especially great were the

little golden angels whose movement and costumes made them appear to float across the stage.

The talented and lovely Noelani Pantastico performed the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the athletic James Moore was her cavalier. Each solo by the PNB dancers was flawless. Exceptional were Chelsea Adomaitis as Dewdrop, Matthew Renko as Candy Cane, Margaret Mullin as Marzipan and Sarah Ricard Orza as Coffee (the peacock.)

Emil de Cou and his talented pit orchestra were equally superb.

PNB artistic director and longtime fan of Balanchine’s choreography Peter Boal and his assistants Judith Fugate and Garielle Whittle staged the beautiful production.

The thing about “The Nutcracker” is that everyone dresses up, packs up their kids and flocks to see this ballet. Yes, it makes PNB the money it needs to get through the rest of the year. But why not also see the upcoming productions of “Romeo et Juliette,” “Le Corsaire: A Pirates Tale” and “Coppelia”?

Like “The Nutcracker” they are classic and beautiful tales.

Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals to play Historic Everett ‘We really thought our music was a way to bring everyone together’

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

1471023

EVERETT — Another member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is coming to town.

On Saturday, Historic Everett Theatre hosts the legendary Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals, currently on a 50th anniversary tour.

Cavaliere’s compositional skills, talents on the Hammond B-3 organ and his lead vocals all played a big part in the group’s success and its hits, such as “Groovin’,” “Beautiful Morning,” “How Can I Be Sure,” “A Girl Like You” and “People Got To Be Free.”

In a phone interview earlier this week from his home in Nashville, Cavaliere, a native New Yorker, now 73, described the

music of the mid-1960s to mid-1970s.

“During those years, lots of people, I would say especially in the music business were active in the civil rights movement, the peace movement and world consciousness, and we really thought our music was a way to bring everyone together,” he said. “I was compelled to write ‘People Got To Be Free’ after the assassination of Robert Kennedy.

Atlantic Records, my label, wasn’t so happy with it. But that song went on to be No. 1 in all the oppressed areas of the world. That made me feel good.”

The song still makes a lot of sense today, Cavaliere said.

“People really are all the same.”

In the early years of his

band, Cavaliere also had a policy that he “would not work if there wasn’t also a black act on the bill.”

“The radio stations played everything, so it seemed perfectly legit to me. I wanted all people to be comfortable coming to our shows,” said Cavaliere, once called the King of Blue-Eyed Soul.

After the 1966 success of the Rascals’ cover of the American standard “Good Lovin’,” the group went on to produce 18 Top 40 hits, five Top 10 hits and three No. 1 hits.

Yes, he’s also in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Cavaliere grew up in the New York City suburb of Pelham, where he studied piano.

In junior high, he fell for the likes of Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis

If you go Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals: 8 p.m. Dec. 5, Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $35 for general admission. Call 425258-6766.

and Little Richard and played in a combo for bar mitzvahs and weddings.

Eventually he left Syracuse University, where he was pre-med, in order to form a band.

“My mom wanted a classical concert pianist or she wanted a doctor,” he said. “I wanted to create music. I saw a trio in a black club in New Rochelle. They had an organ, drums and sax.

That was it. I got a Hammond. It’s an interesting instrument because of its spectrum of sound and how it adds to the vocal part of your group.”

By the early ’70s, the Rascals experimented with more jazz-influenced sounds, and moved over to Columbia Records.

The group disbanded in 1972 and Cavaliere went on to a thriving solo career and collaborations with many other musicians.

He moved to Nashville because “it’s become an amazing mecca for music, and not just country music. I feel right at home here because this is where music is being written and I am still writing music.”

Cavaliere bemoans the state of the music

industry because so much has been given away over the Internet, he said.

Perhaps because of that, touring is still part of life, and that is OK. Cavaliere says he is delighted to bring the songs of the 1960s to audiences. The message has always been to stand for peace, love and happiness.

“In Everett, we will

offer a time capsule for the generation who grew up with our music,” he said. “These songs are still around and still loved. That means a lot.

I also hope we see some younger people in the audience, people who want to know more about the ’60s and that time of music renaissance.”

‘Celebrate and Dance’ Everett Chorale kicks off golden anniversary this weekend

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

EVERETT — Since 1965, the Everett Chorale has been a cornerstone of the performing arts in Snohomish County.

To mark its 50 years, the Chorale is going big with a golden anniversary season of concerts that “Celebrate” the 80-voice choir’s tenure and talent.

“Celebrate and Dance” is the name of the first concert of the season, to be performed Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at the Everett Performing Arts Center.

“Celebrate and Shout,” with a guest performance by the Snohomish County Children’s Choir, is set for April and “Celebrate and Sing” will be performed in June.

For “Celebrate and Dance,” conductor Lee Mathews will lead the group in a program that features choral music and movement.

The Dance School of Everett will perform scenes from “The Nutcracker” with narration by Fred Waring. The Sapience Dance Collective of Seattle will interpret the nine carols set to music by composer Lloyd Pfautsch in his cantata “A Day for Dancing” with the Choral Arts Woodwind and Percussion Ensemble providing the accompaniment.

The Everett Chorale, now one of the county’s oldest performing arts groups, was founded by David Andre in the fall of 1965 with about 30 singers from the Everett area,

SAM FREEMAN

The Everett Chorale concert Dec. 5 and 6 at Everett Performing Arts Center will include performances by The Dance School of Everett and Sapience Dance Collective of Seattle.

If you go Everett Chorale’s “Celebrate and Dance” concert is 7 p.m.

Dec. 5 and 3 p.m. Dec. 6, Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave. Tickets are $18 general admission, and $16 for seniors, students and military $16, with discounts for groups of 10 or more. Call 425-257-8600.

More at www.everettchorale.org, www.thedanceschool. org and www.sapiencedance.org. including community college students. Originally a class at Everett Community College, the group rehearsed on campus. In Andre’s third and final year, Brahm’s “Requiem” was performed with the Everett Symphony and high school choirs were

added to the throng of voices.

Ted Wahlstrom directed the Chorale for about 20 years, during which the group performed again with the Everett Symphony, this time in Mendelssohn’s “Elijah.” Wahlstrom’s annual

direction of Handel’s “Messiah” helped attract new singers to the group.

Pat Castro of Snohomish, who had studied with Wahlstrom, took over the baton in 1988 and directed for five years. Highlights from the Castro years include the commissioning of a jazz composition by Everett musician Ken Kraints and a performance of Mozart’s “Requiem” with the Everett Symphony.

Lee Mathews developed the International Choral Festival hosted by the Everett Chorale in 2002 with five choirs from the Puget Sound region

and Canada providing three days of free concerts throughout the community. In 2007, Everett Chorale represented the state of Washington at the International Choral Festival in Beijing, China.

The Chorale also participated in the Advent Sing in Vienna, Austria, sent an ensemble to perform at Carnegie Hall under the direction of John Rutter on two occasions and performed such pieces as Orff’s “Carmina Burana” and “A German Requiem”

by Brahms.

“The educational link is an important one in the history of this group,”

Mathews said. “We are still listed under the continuing education umbrella at the college.”

The concert this weekend also will include a variety of secular Christmas songs, to which “the audience will want to hum along and tap their toes,” Mathews said.

The pieces include “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” “Silver Bells,” “Over the River and Through the Woods” and “Deck the Hall” and the sing-along “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

“We hope all former members of the Chorale will come out to help us celebrate,” said Mathews.

Death Cab headlines Deck the Hall Ball

By Andy Rathbun Herald Writer

The last time Death Cab for Cutie came through Seattle, the hometown heroes headlined three nights at the Paramount Theatre, with the undersized venue making tickets a hot commodity.

This time, they’re just going to play KeyArena.

The group, which got its start in the late 1990s in Bellingham, will headline 107.7 The End’s Deck the Hall Ball. The show, which features some of alt-rock’s hottest acts, starts at 3 p.m.

Dec. 8.

Death Cab for Cutie has been an especially familiar presence this year. First, the group played an intimate show at the Crocodile in January, where a very select number of fans got to hear the group’s big-hearted anthems.

Then, it released its new album, “Kintsugi,” in March, which reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200. That led to the band’s three Paramount dates.

Now, to cap the year, the group is heading to KeyArena for The End’s annual show. Death Cab is by far the most established act on the bill. The other acts, while big names, are still climbing in popularity.

Those groups include the edgy pop of Twenty One Pilots, touring now behind its first No. 1 album, “Blurryface,” the blues-vamping act Alabama Shakes, and alt-rock favorites Cage the Elephant.

Tickets are $40 to $95 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

Death Cab isn’t the only act that can headline three nights at the Paramount, however. Another local favorite, Odesza, is pulling

PHOTOS BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Starting Dec. 5, Clayton Knight and Harrison Mills of Odesza will perform three nights at the Paramount Theatre. The beat-heavy electronica band originated in Bellingham.

Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, which also got its start in Bellingham, will perform as headliners of this year’s Deck the Hall Ball on Dec. 8 in KeyArena.

Tickets are $20 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Tapping into the Millenial generation’s Zeitgeist, music duo The Chainsmokers will perform Dec. 4 at the Showbox.

the same stunt from Dec. 5 through Dec. 7 with a string of 7 p.m. shows.

Coincidentally, like Death Cab, the act got its start on the campus of Western Washington University, where Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight teamed up to create beat-heavy electronica.

After graduation, the group started paying its bills with music. In 2012, its debut, “Summer’s Gone,” won a following thanks to singles like “How Did I Get Here.”

Subsequent releases helped rack up millions of plays on services like Spotify, and the group became a favorite among the electronica set.

Odesza is touring now after the deluxe reissue of its latest album, “In Return,” which features one of its biggest hits to date, “Say My Name.”

The Showbox also is hosting The Chainsmokers, as the electronica act plays

the venue at 9 p.m. Dec. 4.

The group scored its first big hit in 2014 with “#Selfie,” a sarcastic sendup of its egotistical peers.

Since then, tracks like “Kanye” and “Roses” have

managed to tap into the Millenial generation’s Zeitgeist, helping the pair build a loyal fan base.

Tickets are $19.99 to $24.99 at showboxonline. com or 888-929-7849.

Tickets are $25 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

The Dandy Warhols also are headed back to Seattle, playing the Showbox at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 9.

The Oregon group made its name around the turn of the century with hits like “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth,” “We Used to Be Friends,” and “Bohemian Like You,” showcasing a dark humor that helped anchor its bouncy, somewhat-psychedelic sound.

The group hasn’t released a new album since 2012’s “This Machine,” but have no fear — it has spent a fair amount of time recording this year.

Fans may hear a couple new songs during the Seattle show, alongside old favorites.
