Former city administrator gets $100K The Lake Stevens City Council approves a separation agreement with Jan Berg, who resigned Nov. 18.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — Former city administrator Jan Berg is receiving more than $100,000 from the city

after her departure last month.

She resigned Nov. 15 after 18 years with the city. The City Council approved the resignation in October.

Berg is receiving severance pay

totaling six months of her salary and benefits, according to a separation agreement between her and the city. The $74,970 total is split up into six monthly payments of $12,495. The first payment was scheduled for Dec. 1.

Berg also received $30,144.43 on the day of her resignation, according to the agreement. That

total is not part of any prior agreement between Berg and the city or any existing employee benefit plan provided by the city. It includes accrued vacation time.

Berg was allowed to cash out up to 240 hours per the agreement.

The paperwork was obtained

by The Herald under public records laws.

By signing the document, Berg promised not to pursue legal claims against the city unless it is specifically to challenge the separation agreement, claim workers compensation benefits or address something that happened after the agreement became final.

Mester ‘will be hard to replace’ Snohomish schools Superintendent Bill Mester will retire at the end of the school year. His wife, Fran, who is assistant superintendent in Monroe, also will retire.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — His announcement was three short paragraphs posted on the Snohomish School District website and simply signed “Bill.”

Superintendent Bill Mester will retire at the end of the school year, ending a 43-year career in education that includes 35 years leading school districts.

His wife, Fran Mester, assistant superintendent in the neighboring Bill Mester Monroe School District, also is retiring.

Both have spent their careers in education. In the early 1970s, she began as a speech and language pathologist; he led a classroom of behaviorally challenged students. They migrated west from first jobs in Pennsylvania to Michigan then to eastern Washington and finally Snohomish County.

During 14 years in Snohomish, Bill Mester endured a teacher strike, survived a battle with cancer and oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in construction projects.

Snohomish became a two high school district under his watch.

Through it all, Mester said he was impressed by the sense of

EVERETT — Naval Station Everett paid tribute to veterans of World War II and survivors of Pearl Harbor on Monday in a solemn ceremony.

Ten World War II veterans, some in veteran service caps and several with canes, sat at the front of the ballroom as Cmdr. Rodman Burley, the base’s executive officer, read out their names.

Shortly afterward, Chief Petty Officer Rachel Galvin read the names of invited vets of that era who were unable to attend.

“Today we remember all those who paid the ultimate price that sunny morning 74 years ago,” said Capt. Mark LaKamp, commanding officer of Naval Station Everett.

The occasion is also to remember and thank all veterans of World War II, LaKamp said, and to listen to their stories, however painful they might still be.

He graduated in the top 10 of his class at torpedo school, and he eventually was sent to Guam, the site of fierce fighting in 1944 when the U.S. retook the island from the Japanese at a cost of 3,000 U.S. lives.

“I’m not going to talk about that,” Goldstein said.

Clyde Fields was a senior at Snohomish High School when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

He was eventually drafted into the Army and was shipped to the United Kingdom on the repurposed RMS Queen Mary ocean liner.

He joined the 398th Engineering Regiment there, which built a camp in Devonshire for Allied forces before the invasion of Normandy. After D-Day, his unit rebuilt the harbor at Cherbourg. He convoyed through liberated Paris and spent the winter of 1944 shipping ammunition, fuel and supplies north to the forested Ardennes

region during the Battle of the Bulge. He survived fire from German artillery and dive bombers. “The cold is the thing I remember the most of that whole escapade,” Fields said.

When the war ended, Fields returned to Washington state via train, crossing the Cascades just as the sun rose on his 21st birthday.

“That was the greatest birthday present I’ve had,” he said.

The ceremony concluded with a presentation of a wreath and Galvin reading out the names of those both present and not.

ownership the community has in its schools and its willingness to reach consensus. Voters approved about $300 million in construction projects, including a new aquatics center as well as new and rebuilt schools. With state matching money and interest, the total investment was close to $500 million.

“It is a community that is very willing to come together and talk matters over,” he said.

Jay Hagen, who has served on the Snohomish School Board for nearly 19 years, said Mester has been a good fit for Snohomish.

“It’s a sad day for the Snohomish School District,” Hagen said. “He is going to be hard to replace.”

Mester began as superintendent in Snohomish in July 2002. Two months later, teachers in the district went on strike after not

having a contract in place for the second straight fall.

What impressed Hagen was watching how Mester built relationships during the strike and afterward.

Fran Mester said her husband relied on his experience.

“He knew how not to let things escalate,” she said. “Bill is a very strategic thinker ... He was very concerned about how you build relationships when the strike is over, that how you go through the strike influences how you come out of it.”

Mester said he figured time would be better spent at the bargaining table than in a courtroom trying to force the issue.

In 2007, Mester was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

He underwent radiation, chemotherapy and roughly a dozen blood transfusions along with a stem-cell transplant.

Ninety of his employees found a way to show support on a single day, rolling up a sleeve, offering a vein and donating blood. They knew he’d come to appreciate how precious a gift blood is and how important the donations are.

Mester had faith in his staff to run the district smoothly in his absence while he was able to concentrate on his treatment and getting better.

about the support that the Snohomish School District provided,” Fran Mester said.

Before taking jobs in Snohomish County, the Mesters had experience working in neighboring districts. Fran was executive director of curriculum and instruction in Spokane while Bill was superintendent in nextdoor Mead.

Fifteen years ago, Fran took the assistant superintendent job in Monroe. Bill had told her it was her turn to make the career move, that he would follow when he fulfilled his commitment in Mead. They spent a year apart. Bill was prepared to take a job doing something other than being a superintendent.

“It was the leap of faith,” Fran Mester said. “We weren’t going to go more than a year of being apart and then Snohomish opened up.”

The couple spent a year looking for the right place.

They found a home not far from Snohomish High School.

They have no firm plans for the future. By design, they won’t make any major decisions during the first six months of retirement. Instead, they’ll busy themselves with simple pleasures, such as making jams and marmalades with local fresh berries.

The school board will begin its search process soon. Mester is making a $234,820 base salary and $284,813 in total compensation.

“The school board hopes to have the position filled by early spring,” school district spokeswoman Kristin Foley said.

The district, which has about 9,900 students, will begin gathering information from school employees and people living in the community after winter break.

High praise for Smith Island fish project

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County was awash with praise from federal and state fisheries officials Monday for years of work on the Smith Island salmon habitat project.

Heavy construction on the project in the Snohomish River basin is expected to get under way during the spring. The goal is to restore tidally influenced

marshland long cut off by dikes.

Planning began shortly after the federal government’s 1999 listing of the Puget Sound chinook salmon as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Will Stelle, west coast regional administrator for NOAA Fisheries, characterized the project as “ground zero for long-term Puget Sound restoration and salmon recovery.”

“We’re fish heads, so we care a lot about fish,” Stelle told elected

leaders and county staff. “But it’s much more than just fish. It’s how we live, work and walk and develop on the landscape as a whole. It’s upland and it’s downstream, because everything flows downstream.”

He presented the county with the agency’s Excellence in Restoration award.

The county project involves about 400 acres between Union Slough and I-5, including former farmland. State and federal

grants are paying for most of the estimated $26 million cost. The city of Everett is a partner in the work.

The county awarded a $12.3 million grant this summer to Scarsella Brothers Inc. of Kent to build new dikes and drainage systems. A future bid will be awarded to breach existing dikes, allowing much of the area to flood.

The recent bid came in about $2.5 million under engineers’

He relished the relics

estimates, public works director Steve Thomsen said.

“It’ll be in construction for a couple of years,” Thomsen said.

Once complete, the project will constitute a major step toward reaching habitat-restoration benchmarks that the county and other stakeholders have identified for the area. It complements two other major salmon-habitat projects in the See SMITH, Page A4

Jerry Senner, known for his passion for old tractors, dies at 73

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — He always said he’d rather burn out than rust out. And that’s exactly what he did.

Jerry Senner worked at Monroe’s Western Heritage Center, a museum he created at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds, until he died of natural causes at home Nov. 29. He was 73.

The Monroe native wanted to share Skykomish Valley history with stories of mining, logging, farming and working on the railroad. It was important to him that people be allowed to touch the artifacts in the museum and see how things worked.

He was fervent about his favorite hobby, restoring antique tractors — particularly if they were old John Deeres. He started the Sky Valley Stock and Antique Tractor Club, which today has about 120 members.

Senner had more than 20 of his tractors on display at the museum and about that many at home.

Nancy Senner (center) pauses for a portrait with her kids Connie and Mike at Monroe’s Western Heritage Center.

He also fixed other farm equipment, including old plows, mowers and threshing

machines. The annual Tualco Loop threshing bee was his idea and he ran it for many years.

Senner saw value even in the smallest, rusty relic. He long wanted to open an interactive museum to display the agricultural heirlooms he collected, researched and restored. He established a nonprofit for the Heritage Center in 1996 but didn’t find a space to house it until 10 years later.

“This whole thing started as a love of tractors and has evolved into a love of history,” his son, Mike Senner, said at the Heritage Center on Thursday. “You could point to anything in this room and he could tell you the story of it. ... He had the gift of gab.”

Today, the museum houses several exhibits with pieces that move to showcase old-time action. There are corn grinders, a water wheel, hay rides and milk machines.

Although Jerry swore he’d never milk another cow after growing up on a Monroe dairy farm, he often found himself See SENNER, Page A4

EVERETT — Rain and wind will continue to thump Snohomish County over the next two days, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.

Heavy rainfall in the mountains is expected to bring minor flooding to most area rivers Tuesday and Wednesday.

About 1.25 inches of rain fell at Paine Field over the weekend, meteorologist Kirby Cook said, plus about .37 more inches by Monday afternoon.

Another two inches or so could fall by Wednesday morning.

The northern reaches of the Cascade Range may see up to 7.5 inches in that same timeframe, he said. People living around Puget Sound are likely to see three or four systems of warm rain spread out over several days.

“We just haven’t had much of a break,” Cook said.

Minor flooding is expected Tuesday evening on the North Fork Stillaguamish River, the main stem Stilly, the Skykomish River near Gold Bar and the Snohomish River near Snohomish. Most rivers should crest by late Wednesday, according to a Weather Service flood watch notice.

The winds were easing Monday but another round of wind is expected around noon Tuesday, with gusts of up to 40 mph, Cook said.

Downed trees and branches Sunday caused power outages in the Tulalip, Edmonds and Arlington areas.

MARYSVILLE — A man accused of robbing a Marysville-area espresso stand was on the run for about 30 minutes Sunday before getting caught.

A police dog found the man in a culvert in some nearby

The 29-year-old Monroe man “claimed that his car just broke down and he was resting in the mud,” according to the Snohomish County sheriff’s Facebook page. “He was also missing his shirt.”

He was most comfortable in a John Deere baseball cap, jeans and a flannel shirt with two front pockets. He wasn’t particular about much.

But he had to have his blue Smithsonian notepad in his shirt pocket.

“If he didn’t have it, he was lost,” said his wife of 54 years, Nancy Senner.

“We always said we bleed green,” Johnson said, the color of John Deere tractors.

Memorial gifts can be made to the museum to help continue Jerry’s mission.

“They don’t make them like Mr. Jerry Senner anymore,” said Snohomish County Parks Director Tom Teigen. “We want to honor the passion and love Jerry put into this place” by working with the nonprofit’s board to keep it open.

When Jerry’s children were young, he’d take them fishing on Wagner Lake. He’d wait until they weren’t looking, reach over and tug on their line.

It took the kids quite a while to catch on.

“He was sneaky,” said youngest son Mike Senner, of Powell Butte, Oregon. “He didn’t get much fishing in when we were young. He was too busy making sure we were having fun.”

While he knew a lot about history, Jerry had trouble keeping track of important dates in his life such as his wife’s birthday and their anniversary.

Surprisingly, he was the only one in the family who remembered his daughter’s 16th birthday.

He gave her a gold necklace with a delicate heart to commemorate the occasion.

The Tulalip Tribes breached levees on the similarly sized Qwuloolt project near Marysville in August.

Martha Kongsgaard, chairwoman for a state agency called the Puget Sound Partnership, called Smith Island a “sister project” to the tribes’ effort.

She described time-lapse imagery showing the habitat’s return to life.

“It looks like the lungs and the heart of the Sound were once again expanding and contracting,” Kongsgaard said. “And the fish were there the next day. It’s just almost cliche to say if you fix it they will come.”

He sent a restored John Deere tractor to the southeast African nation and showed up to teach the farmers how to use it. He helped them plow fields, build wells and irrigate crops.

“He was always about everybody else,” said his granddaughter Shaun Faulds, 22. “He was so nice, that word doesn’t do him justice. He was such a kind man, you could see it in his eyes.”

Jerry’s boyish-blue eyes lit up when he told people the stories of his keepsakes, played a prank or helped others.

He got his last joke in while working on a puzzle with Nancy the day before he died. They completed it, but, as usual, Jerry had hidden one piece. Nancy found the missing piece under the table where he’d stashed it.

Jerry was kind and clumsy. He once cut his foot with an axe while trying to show his boys the right way to remove a stump. No matter how severe the bleeding, bumps or bruises, he insisted that a Band Aid was all the fixing he needed.

He earned a living, trying his hand at different trades. He installed septic tanks, dug wells, worked in the salvage business and sold real estate. He served as a volunteer firefighter and emergency medic for more than 20 years.

“For him, it was about caring for the community.

That’s who he was,” said Mike, 48.

Jerry was known to bring ex-convicts home from the Monroe prison.

LAKE STEVENS — A family of three was displaced by a house fire Sunday that knocked out power to hundreds of Lake Stevens homes.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation Monday, deputy fire chief Larry Huff said. The two-alarm fire had consumed most of the house when crews arrived, he said. Firefighters from six departments worked to protect neighboring homes in case the flames spread.

“It was a pretty big fireball,” Huff said.

The fire was reported around 4:30 p.m. in the 1900 block of Vernon Road. The two-story house was destroyed.

The family did have insurance. The American Red Cross also was assisting them. No one was hurt.

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership Boeing supporting 14,000 technical scholarships for Washington state students

B

oeing’s investment of $25 million – combined with an equal amount contributed

by Microsoft and matched by the state of Washington – is enabling nearly 14,000 students to earn technology degrees within the decade.

So far, scholarships have been awarded to 5,500 low- and middle-income students in Washington state, with nearly 60 percent being the first members of their families to attend college, according to Stan Deal, Boeing senior vice president - C o m mercial Aviation Services and a member of the Washington State Oppor tunit y Scholarship board of directors speaking at an event to raise funds for additional scholarships.

Addressing more than 300 community and political leaders in Seattle, Deal noted Boeing has “a vision of a future in which all students have access to educational opportunities so they can develop their skills, pursue their dreams and build a better world.

“We are investing billions of dollars to design and produce the next generation of airplanes right here in Washington,” Deal added.

“Through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, we are also investing in the next generation of employees in our community so that they can learn the skills they need to capture opportunities that Boeing and other leading companies are creating.”

Established five years ago, the scholarship provides financial assistance, creates research opportunities and matches recipients with mentors in business and technology.

That includes Boeing Engineering leaders

who mentor the students pursuing both undergraduate and advance degrees through the Opportunity Scholarship program.

The public-private scholarship “ensures that our kids, who grew up here, have the opportunity to get a high-tech degree,” said former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, adding that the program will enable the state’s leading companies to remain “among the best in the world.”

Mahdi Ramadan, who is using his scholarship to research applying computer technology to assist individuals with neurological disorders, told the crowd, “My dreams are scary big, but so are the dreams of thousands of individuals like me.”

Ramadan rec o u n te d h o w h i s family immigrated to the United States, w h e n h e w a s 11 years old, after being evacuated by U.S. Marines on a humanitarian mission during civil strife in Lebanon. The scholarship gives individuals “an opportunity to follow their dreams despite the financial limitations of their families,” the University of Washington student said.

Microsoft president Brad Smith noted Washington currently has more than 20,000 unfilled jobs in science, technology, engineering and health care.

“This program is all about empowering the next generation so they can achieve more,” Smith said. By training the next generation of researchers, engineers and technical employees, the scholarship also “solves problems for all of our companies and for the economy as a whole.”

Increasing Deliveries

The new Seattle Delivery Center opens its doors to help with increasing deliveries of 737s Tarmac Talk

K

ing County executive Dow Constantine and Seattle mayor Ed Murray joined Boeing leaders and aviation students to snip the ribbon at the grand opening of the new and significantly larger Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field.

The delivery center’s newest addition is partially due to the increasing volume of 737s being built, delivered and yet to

be delivered.

Over the next decade Boeing will be delivering an average of two airplanes every weekday, month-after-month, for the foreseeable future.

“This facility is a sign of our continued commitment to the community and the Puget Sound region,” said Pat Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs.

USO & Boeing Lifting the spirits of our military and their families.

When did Boeing hire its first engineer?

In 1916, Wong Tsu was hired as Boeing’s first aeronautical engineer. He helped design Boeing’s first Model C production seaplane.

What was Boeing’s first jetliner?

The 707, first known as the Dash 80, was Boeing’s first jetliner and profoundly altered the future of passenger air travel even though Time magazine called it the “gamble in the sky.”

Have Boeing planes always been used for Air Force One? In 1962, two 707-320B jets were adapted for use by President John F. Kennedy, earning designation Air Force One” when the president is on board. Since then, Boeing 7-7 series airplanes have continued to be the official aircraft of the U.S. president.

Did Boeing have influence with NASA’s Project Apollo’s nine manned and unmanned expeditions?

Virtually all of Project Apollo’s spacecraft and launch vehicles—including the Saturn V rocket, Apollo command and service modules, and Lunar Roving Vehicle—were designed, developed and built

by Boeing.

Why is the 777 significant in Boeing’s 7-7 series airplanes?

The 777 was the first commercial jet to be 100 percent digitally designed. When complete, the new 777x series will be the world’s largest and most-efficient, twin-engine jet.

Is the Dreamlifter the largest airplane in the world? No. The largest airplane in the world is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya. However, the Dreamlifter’s 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.

USO recognizes Boeing support for military and their families in Northwest

ach year thousands of military members and their families transit our region, often tired and in need of support. To help make their journeys easier, the USO Northwest recently opened a new welcome center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that was made possible in part by a $335,000 grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound.

In special recognition of this and past efforts, the USO Northwest recently honored Boeing and its employees with its Order of Distinguished Service at its annual Gala and Auction in Seattle.

This award is the highest level of recognition by USO Northwest and is reserved for individuals and organizations having demonstrated exceptional service to military members and their families through sustained support of the USO Northwest.

“Military service puts a tremendous burden on our military and their families,” said Robert Malone, president of the ECF Board of Trustees. “Boeing is committed to supporting our military and honored that the company and efforts of thousands of Puget Sound employees is being recognized.”

You keep innovating.

We’ll keep caring for you.

“Military service puts a tremendous burden on our military and their families. Boeing is committed to supporting our military and honored that the company and efforts of thousands of Puget Sound employees is being recognized.”

— Robert Malone, president of the ECF Board of Trustees.

The United Services Organization is a nonprofit organization that lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families millions of times each year at hundreds of places worldwide.

Boeing executives serve on USO boards, and many employees are volunteers. Since 1996, Boeing and its employees have given more than $1.3 million to the USO through charitable grants as well as contributions through the Employees Communit y Fund of Boeing.

“The mission of the USO is to lift the spirits of our military and their families,” said Tami Michaels, gala chair 2015, USO board member and U.S. Army Mom. “At the USO, what we do isn’t fancy. Whether it’s a safe place to sleep, something to eat, a telephone call home, or something as simple as a shower, USO Northwest continues to deliver on our promise to always be by their side.”

The ECF is a unique, employeeowned charitable giving program. Because Boeing pays all overhead costs, 100 percent of every dollar contributed to ECF is granted to nonprofit agencies providing health and human services.

ECF grants enable agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and create new programs that directly help their clients and strengthen their communities.

USO Northwest serves more than 500,000 active-duty military members and their families annually throughout Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

In a unique contribution, Boeing donated teakwood decking from the historic battleship USS Colorado to serve as flooring of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s new welcome center.

The people of Snohomish County have been fishing, farming, teaching, protecting our nation and building amazing things for over a century.

For most of that time, The Everett Clinic has been here too, providing innovative healthcare to our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your support. We’re proud to be part of your extended family.

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. ECF grants enable local Health & Human Service agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and build new construction that directly benefit thousands of people in need. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community nonprofits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients:

The new 44,000-square-foot facility will preserve care for the 7,000 patients currently provided at Neighborcare Health’s Greenwood Medical Clinic and Public Health’s North Public Health Center, and will double access to provide a health care home for at least 14,000 patients.

$259,100 grant for new Meridian Center for Health $40,000 delivers new transit van SE AT TLE — Immanuel Commu nity Services (ICS), located in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood was granted $40,000 for a new 2014 Ford Transit van for food collection and to transport clients. The agency, an independent offspring of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provides assistance to the homeless, the needy and those with drug addictions.

$25,000 grant allows for needed renovations

$32,000 for ARC WHITE CENTER — Westside Baby, located in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, was funded $25,000 for renovations to its bathrooms and staircase to meet ADA codes and make the distribution center more accessible to clients and volunteers. More than 120 local social service agencies, including shelters and food banks, rely upon Westside Baby to provide critical necessities for low-income families. In 2014, they distributed more than 1 million free diapers along with 826 car seats, 267 cribs and clothing for infants and children up to size 12.

$40,000 grant for campus improvements REDMOND — Together Center was granted $40,000 for exterior renovations and paint for four buildings at its direct service campus located in Redmond. More than 37,000 residents and their families use the services at the campus each year. Twenty independent health and human service agencies offer medical and dental care, overnight shelter for youth, low-income housing and homelessness assistance, mental health counseling, therapeutic programs for disabilities, child care support and much more.

Boeing teams with Northwest Harvest to nourish children over holiday break No child should go hungry, especially during the holidays. This is why more than 30 Boeing volunteers formed an efficient assembly line, packing nearly 1,000 backpacks full of food for low-income children to bring home to help feed their families over the holidays. Northwest Harvest fills this gap in services for low-income students who rely on school and summer meal programs and often have a tough time during these longer school breaks.

State imposes full $71,700 fine on BNSF for spills

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — The state Utilities and Transportation Commission on Monday imposed a $71,700 fine on BNSF Railway for failing to timely report

several spills of hazardous materials, including two at a rail yard in Everett.

And commissioners ordered the company to pay the full penalty, axing a provision in a proposed settlement to suspend $40,000 of the fine if no

new violations of state accident reporting laws occur for a year.

“The Settlement covers 239 serious violations by a very large company that has violated its regulatory obligations in the recent past,” commissioners wrote.

Imposing the entire penalty, they said “would be more effective than suspending and waiving a portion of that amount, both to provide BNSF with an additional incentive to comply with its reporting obligations and to penalize the company for its past failure to do so.”

BNSF has 10 days to pay the fine, according to a commission press release.

It has five days to accept the order or contest the conditions.

“BNSF is currently reviewing the order issued

today by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission,” company spokeswoman Courtney Wallace said in an email.

“BNSF strives to comply in good faith with all applicable requirements outlined by state and federal regulatory agencies.”

Under state law, railroads are required to notify Washington’s Emergency Operations Center by telephone within 30 minutes of learning of a hazardous materials spill.

The commission action stems from an investigation

by UTC inspectors of unreported incidents which occurred between Nov. 1, 2014, and Feb. 24.

Those included leaks in the Delta Yard in north Everett of hazardous solid waste Dec. 9 and sludge Dec. 10. Neither spill

was reported until Jan. 8, 2015, according to the UTC report.

Inspectors also found BNSF failed to timely report spills and leaks of lube oil, diesel, gas and hazardous solid waste at sites in south Seattle, Vancouver, Auburn and Blaine.

Each day a company fails to report a spill constitutes a separate violation punishable by a fine of up to $1,000. Commission staff filed a formal complaint March 19 alleging 700 violations for a potential of $700,000 in fines.

UTC staff reduced the number of alleged violations to 239 after some incidents did get reported to the operations center but that information was not initially shared with the commission.

In August, the

commission staff and BNSF officials reached the settlement agreement to avert a lengthy legal battle and push BNSF toward “maximum achievable compliance.”

But on Monday commissioners decided that deal was not strong enough.

In addition to the penalty, commissioners ordered BNSF to provide the regulatory agency with a document describing in detail what constitutes a reportable spill event and the kinds of hazardous materials covered in those reports.

The firm also must provide the commission with information on the specific steps BNSF will take to assure its compliance with reporting requirements in the future. The information is due by Feb. 16, 2016.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A former beauty queen who hosts an Outdoor Channel adventure show illegally shot an Alaska grizzly bear and conspired to cover up the violation, according to charges filed in a rural state court.

Theresa Vail, 25, of Wichita, Kansas, the star of “Limitless with Theresa Vail,” is charged with killing a grizzly bear in May without possessing a state bear tag for the animal. Investigators say she held a single bear tag and shot a male

grizzly bear, attempted to kill it with a second shot, and instead fired and killed a second bear, a sow grizzly.

Vail also is charged with unsworn falsification, another misdemeanor.

Prosecutor Aaron Peterson in a criminal complaint said Vail signed and backdated a big game tag record to make it appear she had purchased the tag before shooting the bear.

Also charged in the case are master guide Michael Wade Renfro, 46, and assistant guide Joseph Andrew Miller, 45. They conspired to cover up Vail’s violation

by obtaining the second bear tag after the bears died and submitted wrong information to game authorities, charging documents say.

Renfro’s attorney, Myron Angstman, said Monday that he had not seen the criminal complaint but was aware of the charges.

“It’s an unfortunate event,” Angstman said. “It was an accidental shooting of a second bear while a person was lawfully engaged in shooting a first bear. Those kinds of things happen once in a great while.”

Afterward, Angstman said, it appears errors in

judgment occurred.

Tom Caraccioli, director of communications for the Outdoor Sportsman Group networks, said in an email that the Outdoor Channel is committed to legal and ethical hunting.

“We have strict policies and procedures in place that require all of our talent and producers to abide by all hunting regulations,” he said. “In June, Theresa Vail and the ‘Limitless’ production team alerted the authorities of the situation.

The hunt never aired on Outdoor Channel.”

The channel describes the show as “the compelling story of a young, grass roots, red-blooded, allAmerican woman who is on a mission to overcome stereotypes, break barriers, and use her life story as a platform to help transform people’s opinions of all the things a woman should, could and can be.”

Vail is a former Miss Kansas, a member of the Army National Guard and an “ambassador” for Bass Pro Shops, Franchi Shotguns, and the National Rifle Association, according to her biography on the show.

Vail was on a hunt May 19 to May 27 arranged with Renfro’s business, Renfro’s Alaska Adventures, south of Holy Cross, Alaska State Trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said in an email.

According to the criminal complaint, Vail hunted with Miller and used a righthanded bolt action rifle even though she’s left-handed.

The hunting party spotted the bear and sow, and at Miller’s direction, Vail fired at the bear. She chambered another round, fired a second shot and hit the sow. Both bears died.

According to prosecutors, Miller contacted Renfro and a collective decision was made to obtain a second grizzly bear tag. Renfro, according to the criminal complaint, packed the second tag in a bag, flew over the group and dropped it out of a Piper PA-18 airplane.

Miller attached the invalid tag to the second bear, and the parties skinned both bears. Vail a day later signed the second bear tag and backdated it to May 26 to make it appear that it had been purchased the day the bears were killed, the complaint said.

Renfro and Miller as guides are required to contact authorities to report illegally taken game, according to the complaint.

The film crew June 3 reported to Alaska Wildlife Troopers what happened.

The investigation comes on the heels of another hunting case that involved a show. Clark W. Dixon, host of another Sportsman Channel show, “The Syndicate,” pleaded guilty last month to poaching at remote Noatak National Preserve in northwest Alaska.

Norovirus sickens 200 in Seattle SEATTLE — As many as 200 people have become sick in a norovirus outbreak at a downtown Seattle office building, health officials reported Monday.

Illness at the Russell Investments Center grew exponentially after a catered event in the building, but several cases were reported before the event last Tuesday, according to Public Health-Seattle & King County, which is still investigating the outbreak that began last week.

Between 175 and 200 cases have been reported to the health department either independently or through a survey of people who went to the catered event in the building.

“We anticipate that number is probably low,” said Dr. Meagan Kay, medical epidemiologist for communicable

diseases with the Seattle and King County Public Health Department.

Two people spent one night in a hospital because of norovirus, and another eight people were treated in emergency rooms during the past week.

Norovirus is very common, and more than a dozen outbreaks are confirmed or probable in the county each year, Kay said. “This time of year, norovirus can spread person-to-person very quickly,” she said.

The building was thoroughly cleaned over the weekend, and all food service in the building has been shut down by the health department.

Norovirus is highly contagious and quickly causes sickness. Norovirus causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to serious dehydration.

People are likely to be sick for just a few days.

Goodwin retains council seat LYNNWOOD — Benjamin Goodwin will remain on the Lynnwood City Council.

The Snohomish County elections office Monday certified the results of a recount in the Lynnwood race.

Goodwin, the incumbent for Position 5, won with 2,749 votes. That was 21 more votes — less than half a percent difference — than his challenger, Chris Frizzell.

Because the tallies were so close, a recount was required. Monday’s certification concludes election season for the county.

The last Lynnwood council meeting of 2015 is scheduled for Dec. 14. The new council members will be sworn in at that meeting.

Incumbents Loren Simmonds, Sid Roberts and Van AuBuchon lost to challengers Shirley Sutton, George Hurst and Shannon Sessions.

Councilwoman Ruth Ross and Councilmen M. Christopher Boyer and Ian Cotton are up for election in 2017.

The new council will meet Jan. 4 and is expected to elect a new president and vice president on Jan. 11.

Maltby: Officials cite hash oil production as cause of blaze A fire in a home near Maltby on Sunday night was started by a man who was trying to manufacture hash oil, officials said.

The fire was reported about 11 p.m. in the 18200 block of Broadway Avenue. It started in the garage and spread into the second floor and attic, said Heather Chadwick, spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 7.

The man, 50, suffered burns and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force is investigating, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

Hash oil, a derivative of the marijuana plant, is illegal and dangerous to make. Multiple explosions in Washington, some with injuries, have been linked to its production in recent years. Hash oil production also was blamed for a house fire near Edmonds in September.

Firefighters got to the Maltby fire quickly, and the damage was mostly contained to the garage, Chadwick said. However, there was smoke damage throughout the two-story split-level home. Crews also responded from Fire District 1 and Snohomish.

Berg From Page A1

Berg and city officials also agreed not to make any “derogatory or disparaging statements” about each other. That means Berg is not to speak ill of the city or its employees and they are not to speak ill of Berg “in any discussion with third parties, in a press release, or in any other similar forum or manner,” except if they are “making truthful statements in a legal or administrative proceeding.”

Berg started working for Lake Stevens as the city’s finance director in 1997. She became city administrator in 2007. She oversaw the city during the recession and through a huge spike in population as leaders annexed new neighborhoods around the lake. The city’s population went from roughly 6,000 to more than 30,000 people.

Berg decided “to pursue other opportunities,”

according to a city news release sent in October.

Berg and Mayor Vern Little declined to comment further.

Berg has been controversial for her management style, in particular in connection with the city’s police department. At least three police officers have filed lawsuits against the city accusing her of overstepping her authority in recent years. One of those lawsuits, by Cmdr. Dennis Taylor, is pending.

For now, Mary Swenson is filling in as the interim Lake Stevens city administrator. She worked for the city of Marysville for more than 30 years, 10 of them as city administrator, before retiring.

The search for a new city administrator is likely to start after Jan. 1. Little’s term as mayor is ending and he did not run for re-election. City Councilman John Spencer is set to take over as mayor in 2016. He’ll need to hire an administrator or make other arrangements, Little said in October.

FBI: Killers were ‘radicalized’

By Amanda Lee Myers and Justin Pritchard Associated Press

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.

— The San Bernardino killers had been radicalized “for quite some time” and had taken target practice at area gun ranges, in one instance just days before the attack that left 14 people dead, the FBI said Monday.

In a chilling twist, authorities also disclosed that a year before the rampage, Syed Farook’s coworkers at the county health department underwent “active shooter” training in the same conference room where he and his wife opened fire on them last week.

It was not immediately clear whether Farook attended the late-2014 session on what to do when a gunman invades the workplace, San Bernardino County spokeswoman Felisa Cardona said.

Two employees who survived the attack said colleagues reacted Wednesday by trying to do as they had been trained — dropping under the tables and staying quiet so as not to attract attention.

“Unfortunately, the room just didn’t provide a whole lot of protection,” said Corwin Porter, assistant county health director.

Farook, a 28-year-old restaurant inspector born in the U.S. to a Pakistani family, and Tashfeen Malik, a 29-year-old immigrant from Pakistan, went on the rampage at a holiday luncheon at about the same time Malik pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on Facebook, authorities said.

The Muslim couple were killed hours later in a gunbattle with police.

“We have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for

quite some time,” said David Bowdich, chief of the FBI’s Los Angeles office.

He also said the couple had taken target practice at ranges in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, with one session held within days of the rampage.

Newly released emergency radio transmissions from the fast-moving tragedy show that police identified Farook as a suspect almost immediately, even though witnesses reported that the attackers wore black ski masks.

An unidentified police officer put out Farook’s name because Farook had left the luncheon “out of the blue” 20 minutes before the shooting, “seemed nervous,” and matched the description of one of the attackers, according to audio recordings posted by The Press-Enterprise newspaper of Riverside.

In addition to the 14 killed,

21 people were hurt. At least six remained hospitalized, two in critical condition.

Meanwhile, most of the county’s 20,000 employees went back to work for the first time since the rampage.

Authorities tightened security at county buildings and offered counseling and a hotline for employees in distress.

Employees in the environmental health division, where Farook and many of his victims worked, will be off until next week.

A custody hearing for Farook and Malik’s 6-month-old daughter was held Monday, with Farook’s sister seeking to adopt the baby, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said.

No long-term decisions were made, and the child will remain in county custody for now. Another hearing is set for next month.

Trump wants ‘complete shutdown’ on Muslims entering U.S. Herald news services Donald Trump called Monday for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” an idea swiftly condemned by his rival GOP candidates for president and other Republicans.

The proposed ban would apply to immigrants and visitors alike, a sweeping prohibition affecting all adherents of Islam who want to come to the U.S. The idea also raised questions about its legality and feasibility, as experts could point to no formal exclusion of immigrants based on religion in America’s history.

Trump’s campaign said in a statement such a ban should stand “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

The statement added that Trump’s proposal comes in

response to a level of hatred among “large segments of the Muslim population” toward Americans.

Trump’s Republican rivals rejected the idea.

“Donald Trump is unhinged,” Jeb Bush said via Twitter. “His ‘policy’ proposals are not serious.”

Carly Fiorina said, “Trump’s overreaction is as dangerous as President Obama’s underreaction.”

John Kasich slammed Trump’s “outrageous divisiveness,” while a more measured Ted Cruz, who has always been cautious about upsetting Trump’s supporters, said, “Well, that is not my policy.”

Ben Carson said he would not advocate “being selective on one’s religion” but does believe that “Everyone visiting our country should register and be

monitored during their stay.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest accused Trump of playing on people’s fears and trying to tap into “a darker side, a darker element” of American society.

Visa restrictions Congress and the White House are poised for a rare agreement in the fight against terrorism with legislation that would slap new travel restrictions on foreign visitors to the U.S. who have recently visited Syria, Iraq, Iran or Sudan.

The House legislation, hammered out in private talks between the administration and congressional leaders last month, would ban visa-free entry of citizens from 38 countries, including most of Europe and several U.S. allies in Asia, if they

report on a travel application that they have visited any of the four targeted countries since 2011.

A vote in the House is set for Tuesday.

New alert system The Obama administration will announce a new terror alert system “in the coming days,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Monday. Johnson said the new system will better inform the public about threats to the U.S., but he did not provide details.

This will be the third terror alert system put in place since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The much maligned color-coded system was replaced in 2011 by the National Threat Advisory System, which has never been used.

Reunion at Pearl Harbor

ACROSS THE U.S.

Feds investigating Chicago police CHICAGO — The federal government opened an investigation Monday into the Chicago Police Department, and authorities announced they would not charge an officer in the death of a 25-year-old black man who was shot in the back last year.

The Justice Department investigation was to look into patterns of racial disparity in the use of force. It comes nearly two weeks after the release of a video showing a white Chicago police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.

The investigation is separate from an existing federal investigation into last year’s shooting death of Laquan McDonald, 17. Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder Nov. 24, more than a year after the killing and just hours before the release of police dashboard camera footage showing the officer shooting the teenager.

D.C.: Admiral reprimanded The Navy announced Monday that it has reprimanded a two-star admiral for getting drunk and wandering naked around a Florida beachfront hotel while attending a conference with defense contractors. Rear Adm. David F. Baucom, the director of strategy and policy at the U.S. Transportation Command, became so intoxicated at an upscale resort in April that he struck his head on a barstool, wet his pants and needed an escort back to his room, according to the Naval Inspector General. A few hours later, Baucom emerged from his room naked, the report states. After a disciplinary hearing last month, the Navy found Baucom guilty of disorderly conduct and conduct unbecoming an officer. He was reassigned to the Pentagon, Navy officials said.

No punishment for general The Army has recommended that David H. Petraeus, the retired general and former CIA director who quit in a scandal three years ago, not face any further punishment for having an affair with his biographer and providing her with top-secret materials, according to Pentagon officials. The final decision on whether to discipline Petraeus under military law rests with Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter. While he could overrule the Army’s recommendation, such a move would be unusual.

Pa.: Pig’s head at mosque Local and federal authorities were investigating reports Monday that someone left a severed pig’s head at a North Philadelphia mosque. An employee at the Al Aqsa Islamic Society mosque found the bloodied head when he arrived around 6 a.m. Monday. Pigs are considered insulting to Muslims who observe halal dietary laws.

Navy’s largest destroyer heads to sea

By David Sharp Associated Press

BATH, Maine — The largest destroyer ever built for the U.S. Navy headed out to sea for the first time Monday, departing from shipbuilder Bath Iron Works and navigating the winding Kennebec River before reaching the open ocean where the ship will undergo sea trials.

More than 200 shipbuilders, sailors and residents gathered to watch as the futuristic 600-foot, 15,000-ton USS Zumwalt glided past Fort Popham, accompanied by tugboats.

Bath Iron Works will be testing the ship’s performance. The goal is to deliver it to the Navy sometime next year.

“We are absolutely fired up

ROBERT F. BUKATY / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. Navy’s first Zumwalt-class destroyer leaves the Kennebec River near Fort Popham, Maine, on Monday.

to see Zumwalt get underway. For the crew and all those involved in designing, building, and readying this fantastic ship, this is a huge milestone,” the

ship’s skipper, Navy Capt.

James Kirk, said before the ship departed.

The ship has electric propulsion, new radar and sonar, powerful missiles and guns,

and a stealthy design to reduce its radar signature.

All of that innovation has led to construction delays and a growing price tag. The Zumwalt, the first of three ships in the class, will cost at least $4.4 billion.

The ship looks like nothing ever built at Bath Iron Works.

The inverse bow juts forward to slice through the waves.

Sharp angles deflect enemy radar signals. Radar and antennas are hidden in a composite deckhouse.

Critics say the “tumblehome” hull’s sloping shape makes it less stable than conventional hulls, but it contributes to the ship’s stealth and the Navy is confident in the design.

Syria on Monday accused the U.S.-led coalition of bombing an army camp in the eastern part of the country, killing three Syrian soldiers and wounding 13, but a senior U.S. military official said the Pentagon is “certain” the strike was from a Russian warplane. The dispute over the deadly airstrike underscored the increasingly chaotic skies over Syria as various powers hit targets in the warravaged country.

China: 1st smog red alert Schools closed and rush-hour roads were much quieter than normal as Beijing’s first-ever red alert for smog took effect Tuesday, closing many factories and invoking restrictions to keep half the city’s vehicles off the roads. The alert in effect through Thursday — the most serious warning on a four-tier system — means authorities have forecast more than three consecutive days of severe smog.

France: Progress on climate The United Nations secretary-general called for a clean energy revolution to avoid a “climate catastrophe” as talks on a global warming pact entered their final week Monday with crunch issues on money and burden-sharing yet to be resolved. One of them, however, appeared to be untangling as the European Union softened its insistence that countries’ targets to limit carbon pollution need to be legally binding, something U.S. negotiators reject because of opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress.

Chipotle shares slide after E.coli

By Candice Choi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Chipotle shares extended their slide Monday as an E. coli outbreak linked to its restaurants has the company facing its first decline in a key sales figure.

The chain known for touting its quality ingredients had said Friday it expects sales to drop between 8 and 11 percent at established locations for the fourth quarter if current trends continue. That would mark the first time the figure fell since Chipotle went public in 2006.

Chipotle’s stock closed down 1.7 percent at $551.75 Monday.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chipotle said sales have been “extremely volatile” since it temporarily closed restaurants in Oregon and Washington in early November as a result of the outbreak. Sales plummeted by as much as 22 percent as additional cases were reported, and were down 16 percent for November.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the outbreak has sickened 52 people in nine states, including Washington.

It has not yet identified the ingredient that made people sick.

The first cases were reported at the end of October, with the most recent illness starting on Nov. 13 About 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness each year, according to the CDC. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., based in Denver, says whatever the likely ingredient was that made people sick is out of its restaurants and that it is adopting stricter food-safety standards.

The company, which has touted its use of local ingredients, said some of its local produce suppliers might not be able to

meet the new standards. Locally sourced produce accounts for a “relatively small percentage” of the produce the chain uses, said Chris Arnold, a Chipotle spokesman.

Jeffrey Bernstein, a Barclays analyst, noted that fast-food chains have recovered from similar foodborne illnesses in the past. But he said Chipotle’s recovery will likely take longer given greater social media awareness.

Bernstein also noted that Chipotle is known for its “Food with Integrity” slogan, which makes the E. coli cases “all the more damaging.”

Greening the food deserts

Grocers avoid first lady’s call to build new markets

By Mike Schneider ST. LOUIS — As part of Michelle Obama’s healthy eating initiative, a group of major food retailers promised in 2011 to open or expand 1,500 grocery or convenience stores in and around neighborhoods with no supermarkets by 2016. By their own count, they’re far short.

Moreover, an analysis of federal food stamp data by The Associated Press reveals that the nation’s largest chains — not just the handful involved in the first lady’s group — have since built new supermarkets in only a fraction of the neighborhoods where they’re needed most.

The Partnership for a Healthier America, which also promotes good nutrition and exercise in its anti-obesity mission, considers improving access to fresh food a key part of the solution. But the AP’s research demonstrates that major grocers overwhelmingly avoid America’s food deserts instead of trying to turn a profit in

Empower someone with holiday gift of knowledge

MICHELLE SINGLETARY

NEW YORK — Apple Maps quickly became the butt of jokes when it debuted in 2012.

It overlooked many towns and businesses and misplaced famous landmarks. It’s a different story three years later.

Apple fixed errors as users submitted them. It quietly bought several mapping companies, mostly for their engineers and other talent.

This fall, it added transit directions for several major cities, narrowing a major gap with Google. Apple Maps is now used more widely than Google Maps on iPhones.

The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that it is seeking to block the proposed combination of Staples and Office Depot because the deal would reduce competition in the office supplies market. The decision comes 10 months after Staples offered to buy rival Office Depot for $6.3 billion. The companies said they plan to fight to preserve the deal.

Apple Maps no longer joke; leads on iPhone

Regulators move to stop Staples’ deal

By Joseph Pisani NEW YORK — The battle over the world’s coffee drinkers is getting hotter.

Keurig, the maker of singlecup coffee machines sitting on millions of kitchen counters, agreed to sell itself Monday for almost $14 billion to JAB Holding Co., a private company with a growing java business.

Fans of Keurig may not see much of a difference in their caffeine fix. JAB Holding said Keurig will operate independently and remain in its headquarters in Waterbury, Vermont.

The Keurig deal will boost JAB Holding’s already robust coffee empire. The Luxembourg-based company has a controlling stake in Jacobs Douwe Egberts, the company behind Gevalia, Tassimo and many other brands. It also has stakes in Peet’s Coffee & Tea and Caribou Coffee, two companies that already have deals in place to make coffee pods for Keurig machines.

Buying Keurig will get JAB Holding closer to coffee market leader Nestle, said Stifel analyst Mark Astrachan, in a note to clients. He also said that JAB Holding may try to sell more Keurig brewing machines internationally.

Outside of coffee, JAB Holding has stakes in beauty products maker Coty and high-end shoe seller Jimmy Choo.

The deal comes as Keurig has reported slowing sales of its machines and K-cups, the coffee-filled pods that are

STOCK MARKET SUMMARY

A sharp drop in the price of oil Monday rattled investors and helped push stocks lower across several industries. Investors sold from the start of trading following a decision by OPEC last week not to cut production. Seven of the 10 sectors of the Standard and Poor's 500 index fell.

that offer fresh produce and meats.

■■As the largest supermarket chains have been slow to build in food deserts, the so-called dollar stores have multiplied rapidly. Three chains — Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree — made up two-thirds of new stores in food deserts.

■■The dollar store sector is consolidating, too: Dollar Tree merged with Family Dollar this year, creating the largest dollarstore chain in the nation and in the process, less competition and less incentive to diversify what these stores offer.

■■Excluding dollar stores and 7-Elevens, just 1.4 million of the more than 18 million people the USDA says lived in food deserts as of 2010 got a new supermarket in the past four years. On top of all that, it’s difficult to say how many more people live in newer food deserts created by recent store closures.

The USDA considers a neighborhood a food desert if at least a fifth of the residents live in poverty

and a third live more than a mile from a supermarket in urban areas, or more than 10 miles in rural areas, where residents are more likely to have cars.

The first lady’s group’s 2014 progress report, its most recent, says the companies that made the pledges have opened or renovated 602 grocery stores or other food retail locations, well below halfway toward their collective goal.

The partnership counted companies as having met their commitments if the stores they opened or renovated fell within a mile of a USDAdesignated food desert in a city, or within 10 miles of a rural one. The AP analyzed which of the new stores that opened lie directly within food deserts.

Research has shown that a lack of access to healthy foods contributes to health problems, such as obesity and diabetes.

Proximity to a supermarket can make a big difference in what people eat, especially if they don’t drive, although other factors such as food culture also play a role.

Supermarkets often build stores close to each other to compete in an area and highlight each store’s niche, said Ira Goldstein, president of policy solutions at The Reinvestment Fund, a Philadelphia-based community development firm that has invested in grocery store construction in low-income neighborhoods. But the stores typically look for neighborhoods that can support their format rather than changing their format to fit the neighborhood.

Hrabowski has long advocated getting more students into the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM. “How can we change our fundamental attitudes about who can succeed and at what?” he asks. “One way is to embrace struggle. We must teach children that not grasping a concept right away is not the same as being ‘bad’ at a particular subject.”

“Grit to Great: How

but it doesn’t necessarily solve the problem in an inadequately served area,” Goldstein said.

Large supermarket chains’ rigid formats often miss the nuances of a community, said Jeff Brown, CEO of Brown’s Super Stores in the Philadelphia area.

Stores that succeed generally have other amenities, such as a pharmacy, doctor’s clinic or a bank embedded in the supermarket, he said.

Bigger chains often are “not selling what they should be selling because they don’t

Building stores in lowincome neighborhoods comes with unique complications, according to the Food Marketing Institute, a Washington-based trade group for food retailers.

A large customer base on food stamps creates erratic flows with a rush of business in the beginning of the month when the food stamps are issued, but slow business at the end of the month.

Insurance and security can be more costly in neighborhoods perceived to be high crime, and workers from neighborhoods with high unemployment sometimes need extra training for basic job skills.

The average supermarket operates on a 1 or 2 percent profit margin and must be sustainable for at least a decade to recoup any profit, so retailers can’t afford to pick unprofitable locations, said David Fikes, vice president of consumer and community affairs for the Food Marketing Institute.

IN OUR VIEW | Transportation

Gas tax is running on empty Along with the five-year federal transportation budget passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last week comes a good deal of hopeful thinking.

Rather than do the heavy lifting in front of voters to increase the federal portion of the gas tax, which has held steady at 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993, the funding package Congress assembled includes less reliable sources of funding, such as sending collection agencies after tax scofflaws and selling 66 million barrels of oil from the federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve under the assumption that the price of oil, now scraping the bottom of the barrel, will increase enough for such a sale to bring in $6.2 billion in the next 10 years.

Washington state legislators, apparently made of stronger stuff than their D.C. counterparts, earlier this year passed a gas tax increase that will fund the state’s own $16

billion, 16-year transportation spending plan. The state is now collecting 44.5 cents per gallon and will tack on another nickle next summer.

But it’s dawning on many that the gas tax has lost its ability to adequately fund the maintenance and further development that our state’s transportation infrastructure will need over the next 25 years.

The gas tax has three problems: ■■It’s set at a fixed rate that isn’t adjusted for inflation, eroding its purchasing power; ■■People are driving less often and fewer miles, and consequently buying less fuel and paying less tax; ■■Vehicles’ increased fuel efficiency and the growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles has likewise had an impact on gas tax revenue.

It’s why the Washington State Transportation Commission and the Puget Sound

Regional Council are considering replacements for the gas tax, including an increased use of tolling, a carbon emissions tax, vehicle fees and charging drivers by the mile, perhaps using GPS technology or something similar to the Good to Go transponders the state is now using to charge tolls on I-405’s HOT lanes and the Highway 520 floating bridge and Tacoma Narrows bridge.

A two-day Transportation Commission hearing this week in Olympia will begin the discussion of different options at 9 a.m. today, and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Transportation Building, 310 Maple Park Ave. SE, on the Capitol Campus in Olympia.

Public comment periods are at 4:45 p.m. today and at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday.

The Puget Sound Regional Council’s plan seeks to increase funding $62.4 billion between now and 2040, with new highway tolls, a gradual replacement of the gas tax with

a pay-per-mile system, fare increases for ferries and transit and a 1.5 percent increase in the motor vehicle excise tax.

PSRC’s evaluation of its plan shows little impact on the time most would spend commuting to and from work. And it also shows an increase in the amount most drivers would spend on their daily work commutes, compared to current costs and other funding scenarios. That increase, particularly for solo drivers, might provide additional motivation to consider transit, and that’s added justification for Sound Transit’s expansion of its Link light rail service into Everett.

Because of earlier decisions to fund transportation projects with bonds, we’re going to need to keep the gas tax for the next 10 to 15 years to pay off those bonds.

But going forward we need to consider new sources of revenue to fund maintenance and new construction so we can keep going foward.

plants. When that work slowed down I worked mostly in big cities but I did always work, with or without coal. I know people who traveled to China and they said you just can’t believe how terrible the air quality is in a good part of that country. That is caused mostly by coal power. I think changing to renewable power sources will put a lot of people to work. I heard one fellow say that when we changed from steam power to the internal combustion motor, it wasn’t because we ran out of steam.

It was obviously because the new way was better.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ELECTION TURNOUT

Non-voters do make a choice

In Thursday’s Herald I read two letters from readers who pointed out that a majority of registered voters who actually vote can win an election, even though they comprise a tiny minority of the electorate.

Regrettably, many registered voters abandon their suffrage to others, who decide the election for them.

A friend recently explained to me that this state of affairs is acceptable if you look at it the right way. Non-voters, he said, have no preference which side wins. The outcome will not significantly affect them personally, and they want people to be happy. By not voting they are acceding to whatever the active voters decide. In effect they are voting for “whatever,” and they always win, because that is what they get.

Using the numbers provided by one of said readers: when 1,471,204 votes are cast in an election, and 757,714 are for the proposition, then the proposition wins. If there are 3,975,071 registered voters, that means 2,503,867 didn’t show up, thereby effectively voting for “whatever” side won.

Adding the non-voters to the winning side, we have a landslide victory in virtually every election.

The democratic process is vindicated, I feel better about it, and so should you.

■■ELF ON A SHELF

How do we handle beliefs?

Regarding the Sunday article(s) about the “Elf on a Shelf” Christmas tradition: The controversy stems from the notion that in today’s society it may be psychologically harmful to teach children that someone (an elf ) is conducting surveillance on them during the Christmas season for the purpose of reporting to Santa whether or not they are behaving themselves. This sounds suspiciously similar to what we tell children about God. However, God doesn’t use an intermediary elf. He does his own surveillance, and not just in your home at Christmas. Instead we tell children that God is watching them everywhere, 24/7, 365 days a year. We say he is

The real problem is not in the beliefs themselves. The problem lies in how we handle these beliefs. Eventually, as the magical thinking of childhood slips away, we allow children to doubt in the existence of such fanciful things as Santa and his elves. The result is that the natural process of logical thought is allowed to grow, and belief in these things goes away. The same cannot be said for doubts they may have about the existence of God. What do you think is more harmful to someone’s psyche?

Saunders spot on regarding guns Thank you to Debra J. Saunders for Monday’s column, “Guns offer more protection than gun control.”

Her stand is certainly not in the minority, unfortunately the anti-gun people seems to get most of the press. I appreciate the work the law enforcement community do, but I also know that it is my responsibility to protect my family and myself. More gun control is not going to stop those who want to do us harm from getting weapons.

Thanks again for the column, the responses to it should be quite entertaining.

■■CLIMATE CHANGE

Air efforts won’t hurt economy I am really amazed that there are still so many who deny climate change. Just about all scientists who study climate agree that it is a fact.

The pope, who is a very well educated man, also agrees. I also don’t believe that doing something about global warming would hurt the economy very much.

■■TERRORISTS

Drugs must be part of program I think it’s time to look at some of these murderous shooters as drugged. The picture of the shooter in the Daily Herald is of a man with his eyes half closed who looks drugged or drunk. Pictures of other Middle East terrorists have shown this same drugged look. I have read that terrorist leaders like those of ISIS, often give drugs to their soon-to-be martyrs to dull their senses and convince them that it is a good thing to kill the masses and blow yourself up. Perhaps it is time to consider that drugging is a significant factor in recruiting young men to do the unthinkable. Perhaps it is also possible that young men who commit mass murder are self-drugged or totally off their mental health medications.

Laura Lewis Stanwood

Cautious, slow, uncertain may be only option

“A

cancer that has no immediate cure” was not the most soothing metaphor President Obama could have chosen, but it was the most honest. He has no idea how to prevent another terrorist attack like the one in San Bernardino — and neither does anyone else, including his Republican critics.

The president used that somber phrase in his Oval Office address Sunday to describe what “many Americans are asking.”

The answer was implicit: EUGENE ROBINSON Yes, that is indeed what we face, and the cure for the disease will take time.

The specific actions Obama demanded from Congress are no-brainers. Yes, individuals on terrorism watch lists should be prohibited from buying guns. Yes, the sale of military-style assault rifles should be banned. Yes, there should be better screening of foreigners who enter the country without a visa.

But none of these measures would have stopped the barbaric assault in San Bernardino that killed 14 and injured 21.

That’s no reason to reject the president’s initiatives — the steps he proposed might well stop some future attack or at least reduce the carnage — but it means we must all be realistic about the “new phase” of the terrorist threat that the president so soberly described.

“As we’ve become better at preventing complex, multifaceted attacks like 9/11,” Obama said, “terrorists turned to less complicated acts of violence like the mass shootings that are all too common in our society.”

We saw this new pattern at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, when Army Maj. Nidal Hasan fatally shot 13 people and wounded 30 others; in Chattanooga, Tenn., in July of this year, when Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez killed five people at an Armed Forces Career Center and a U.S. Navy Reserve center; and last week in San Bernardino, when Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, raked a county health department Christmas party with gunfire before dying in a last-stand shootout with police.

There is no indication that any of these attacks was organized and directed by the Islamic State, al-Qaida or any known terrorist organization. Rather, they appear to be instances of do-it-yourself terrorism, inspired by events overseas but resulting from a process that authorities cannot reliably detect in advance: self-radicalization.

In a free society with more guns than people, there was no way to see any of these terrorist acts coming — any more than there was a way to know beforehand that a young white supremacist named Dylann Roof would allegedly show up at a prayer meeting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., and kill nine innocent black worshipers.

So would common-sense gun control measures make a difference? I’ve argued repeatedly that they might, but let’s be realistic. There are so many guns already in circulation that anyone who wants one can get one. California has an assaultweapons ban, theoretically, but there are loopholes that made the weapons used in San Bernardino — clearly militarystyle assault rifles — legal for sale and purchase.

What methods remain of possibly preventing attacks? Donald Trump wants increased surveillance of mosques, but aside from the constitutional questions about such action, there is no indication it would have made a difference in San Bernardino. The National Security Agency program to log all domestic phone calls — which ended last week — apparently failed, over the years, to uncover a single terrorist plot; reinstating it would be useless.

Tougher visa rules might conceivably have raised questions about Malik, who was born in Pakistan and got a visa to enter the United States as Farook’s fiancée. But Farook was an American citizen, born in Chicago.

The truth is that self-radicalization is by definition an interior process. It requires no telltale communications with known terrorist suspects and can take place with no outward signs of any change.

The existence of the Islamic State “caliphate” is obviously an inspiration to potential terrorists; if it were gone, presumably the threat would eventually subside. Obama’s plan to “destroy” the group is cautious, slow and uncertain. But the one thing I haven’t heard from his critics is a better idea.

Woman’s story sounds kind of fishy Lutefisk, lefse and Scandinavian lunacy with Lynnwood’s Chris Hicks

O

It’s lutefisk.

Chris Hicks, 55, lives and breathes lutefisk.

She was in charge of the Sons of Norway Bothell Lodge’s lutefisk dinner, which over the weekend served 780 people paying $23 a plate.

“We used 1,000 pounds of lutefisk. We peeled 500 of potatoes and hand rolled about 8,000 meatballs,” she said.

Hicks, service order solutions contact support rep at Philips Medical in Bothell, lives in Lynnwood and is vice president of the four-state Sons of Norway district. Her husband, Bill, is Bothell lodge president. Their daughter, Diana Marie, 15, has been active in lodge programs since birth. Her parents, Noel and Louise Tufteland, started the Bothell lodge in 1973.

Sorry you missed the lutefisk dinner? Not to worry. Lutefisk season is still in full swing. Enjoy lutefisk, Swedish meatballs, lefse, a traditional savory pancake made out of potatoes, and more Scandinavian treats at the “Let There Be Lutefisk” dinner, which is 6 p.m.

Double yummy: That’s piecaken

T

ake this pie and stuff it.

It’s piecaken, a pie stuffed inside of a cake. The dessert version of turducken, a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey.

But in the case of piecaken, unless I’m mistaken, the “n” makes no sense.

For that matter, none of it does.

But piecaken is what’s movin’ and shakin’ on the Internet.

What’s up with that?

Daytime TV and social media catapulted it into food porn fame just in time for Thanksgiving and it’s gearing up for Christmas gluttony. Google “piecaken” or search #piecaken on Twitter or Instagram and you’ll get an eyeful of this gooey, messy Frankenfood.

It goes like this: First you bake or buy a pie.

Then batter up a cake in a spring form pan. Impregnate cake with the pie. Bake. Lather on the frosting or whatever.

We had piecaken in the Herald newsroom last week. It was the last request of departing ad director Pilar Linares, a transplanted Texan heading back to good ol’ Texas.

Herald creative services manager Lynn Jefferson stepped up to the challenge: She made not one but two ravishing piecakens.

“It’s my first attempt at this gone viral, pancreas-killer craze,” Jefferson said.

She loaded a chocolate cake with a cherry pie and a vanilla cake with an apple pie. Both looked like the holy grail of cakes from the outside. You’d never guess there was a pie inside.

The piecakens were polished off within minutes. What’s not to love about a dessert double feature?

Reactions: “Similar to chocolate-covered cherries, but then spoiled by a piece of pie crust partway.”

“They were the absolute BOMB.” “If you like pie more than cake you’ll probably think, meh ... but if you like cake I think you’d really like piecaken. That said, I prefer pie.”

“My mouth is confused.”

“It’s a little weird. I prefer to eat them separately.”

Parents get equal say on child-rearing philosophy

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: My husband leaves for work early, usually before the rest of the family gets up. I like to let our 4-year-old climb in bed with me for a few minutes if he waits until the appointed hour.

My husband hates this. He says it’s our bed, no kids allowed. From my perspective, the advantages are many: The kid stays quiet in a bedroom for longer, Little Brother gets more sleep (otherwise, the 4-yearold tends to wake him up), and I get a calmer start to my day.

Is this a case where he has veto power, or is it my bed, too?

— Whose Bed Is It? Wait — he’s not even there?! No, no, he does not have veto power over something that has zero effect on him, except perhaps to benefit him indirectly.

As long as parents, not kids, decide who’s in what bed, then you’ve done your part. I have to wonder what he gains/hopes to gain from this level of control.

Carolyn: I think this is about protecting our marital relationship from the kids, maybe? I find him unreasonable sometimes, though. For instance, he wanted me to go on vacation with him, leaving the kids with an overnight baby sitter, two

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT weeks after we moved while the 2-year-old had his leg in a cast.

(In the end, he went by himself.

He still doesn’t understand why I didn’t go.)

If the subject comes up again, I think I’ll stand my ground. He is a devoted husband and loving father, but acknowledging that the needs/wants of others may differ from what he thinks his would be in their situation does not come naturally to him.

— Whose Bed again That’s not uncommon, certainly.

Between the bed and the vacation, though, it’s clear he’s trying to maintain some space for the two of you. I don’t think it’s fair for him to be the only one expected to budge.

So, assuming you hold your ground on the bed — because good sleep and calm mornings are so incredibly important with little kids — then I think it’s essential to

show you understand his need for marital privacy and supremacy, and are willing to accommodate it some other way. Book the overnight baby sitter once per season, for example, if you can manage that — especially if you’ve been dismissing his need for couple time as a rule.

Re: Bed: Wait, if the parent isn’t there, they have no argument as to how to handle the kids? I read it as dad doesn’t think kids should be doing this. That’s a discussion to be had with both parents.

— Anonymous Put that way, I agree; but I didn’t see it as a philosophical issue, I saw it as pragmatic. Still do, but this isn’t my household, so, yes, they need to talk.

And he needs to consider her view: that upholding his philosophy in his absence would mean more stress for the parent who’s home wrangling very young kids.

Yes, parents get equal say on the principles of child-rearing, but where there’s a difference that involves notable extra work, I balk at the idea that one parent draws the line and the one who gets overruled gets stuck with the work. That’s a seed for fast-growing resentment.

Daughter’s changing gender ID baffles family Dear Abby: A good friend recently found out his daughter, “Rhonda” (who is over 18), feels she should have been born a boy. “Ronnie” is now living life as a man and plans to change genders completely.

My friend and his wife are finding it difficult to deal with. He doesn’t understand why she can’t just be gay, which he would be fine with. I want to give them emotional support while at the same time supporting Ronnie, but I’m having a hard time relating to their feelings.

Could you provide some resources for them, such as organizations that help families deal with gender changing and all that it entails? — Wants To Be Supportive Dear Wants To Be Supportive: I know an excellent LGBT organization that has been mentioned before in my column. It’s called Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The largest increase in new individuals reaching out to PFLAG is now among trans people and their family members.

Ronnie can’t “just be gay” because the issue isn’t sexual orientation; it is Ronnie’s GENDER IDENTITY. PFLAG can help to explain this to Ronnie’s father, and he should visit pflag.org for guidance.

Dear Abby: I have been with “John” for 18 years.

We married while he was in prison. I know I have outgrown him, but I’m scared to say it’s over in case I realize later that we should be together. Over the years, we have both cheated and hurt each other.

I don’t know exactly what I am holding onto with him.

Please help. — Stuck In Des Moines Dear Stuck: If the only reason you haven’t left John is that there’s no one else around to choose from, it’s understandable that you would be depressed. The status quo isn’t fair for you or your husband.

You have two choices: Fix your marriage or leave. The better option would be for you and John to have counseling to see if your love can be revived. If it doesn’t work, then it might be better for you both to separate. The reason there is no one else out there right now may be that you are unavailable.

Dear Abby: Call me ungrateful, but I am very uncomfortable receiving gifts. How can I get longtime friends to stop bringing hostess gifts when I invite them over? I don’t need anything, and I resent feeling I am obligated to take something to them, too. I have tried remarking, “The present of your ‘presence’ is present enough,” but it continues. I need your help.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ Q 9 6 5 4 ♥ A 10 7 ◆ 6 ♣ A J 10 6. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade and he bids two clubs. What do you say?

ANSWER: I know some practitioners who would bid 2NT, but my experience suggests that it usually wrong to suppress a fit for partner. If your partner’s hand is short in spades, the play may go well at clubs, less well at notrump. Raise to three clubs to invite game. A jump to four or five clubs would be too much.

Kendrick Lamar leads Grammys with 11 nominations NEW YORK — Kendrick Lamar is the King of the Grammys: The rapper is the leading nominee for the 2016 awards with 11, including Album of the Year for “To Pimp A Butterfly” and Song Of The Year for “Alright.”

Lamar, who won two Grammys earlier this year, is followed by Taylor Swift and the Weeknd, who each earned seven nominations, including album of the year. “Butterfly,” ‘’1989” and “Beauty Behind the Madness” will battle country singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller” and rock group Alabama Shakes’ “Sound & Color” for the top prize.

Lamar’s “Alright” and Swift’s “Blank Space” are nominated for song of the year, a songwriter’s award.

Other nominees include Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s tribute to actor Paul Walker, “See You Again,” Ed Sheeran’s slow burner “Thinking out Loud” and Little Big Town’s semi-controversial hit, “Girl Crush,” written by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose.

“Thinking out Loud” and “Blank Space,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, are also nominated for record of the year, pitting the songs against No.1 hits that include Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown

Funk” and the Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” as well as a wild card: “Really Love” from R&B singer D’Angelo and the Vanguard.

“There’s a broad spectrum and certainly it shows there’s been quite a bit of wonderful and excellent recordings in the last year,” Recording Academy CEO Neil Portow said in an

interview with The Associated Press.

Lamar’s other nominations include best rap album for “Butterfly,” rap performance for “Alright,” pop duo/group performance for “Bad Blood” with Swift and dance recording “Never Catch Me” with Flying Lotus.

He’s nominated twice for both best rap song with

“Alright” and for co-writing Kanye West’s “All Day,” as well as best music video for “Alright” and “Bad Blood.”

“It’s a testimony to his artistry,” Portnow said of Lamar. “He’s someone that’s very serious about his art and about his craft, and has been working it for quite some time. And this is one of those instances where the work pays off.”

Swift, who won album of the year with “Fearless” in 2010 and earned a nomination in the top category with “Red,” is also up for best pop vocal album for her top-selling “1989” and pop solo performance for “Blank Space.” The Weeknd’s nominations include best pop solo performance for “Can’t Feel My Face” and urban contemporary album for “Beauty.” His hit from the “Fifty Shades of Grey” soundtrack — “Earned It”— garnered nominations for best R&B performance, R&B song and song written for visual media.

More than 21,000 submissions were entered for the 83 Grammy categories The 58th Grammys will air live on February 15, 2016, from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Voting for the second round, completed by mail and starting next week, ends on January 15, 2016.

Georgia, Florida vie for Eason

New Bulldogs’ coach Smart flies to Washington to visit Lake Stevens QB

By David Krueger Herald Writer

KEVIN CLARK/ THE HERALD

Lake Stevens’ Jacob Eason passed for 3,585 yards and 43 TDs this season.

LAKE STEVENS — The last seven days quickly turned into a “pretty crazy week” for Lake Stevens quarterback Jacob Eason.

Hours after the Vikings’ season ended in the 4A state semifinals, Eason found out Georgia head coach Mark Richt, who Eason committed to before his junior season in the summer of 2014, had been fired.

With his phone lighting up with calls, texts and tweets from coaches and media, Eason turned his phone off and spent the day with his family.

“Sunday I was getting over the game and all that stuff. Saturday night was kind of rough,” Eason said. “Then I wake up Sunday morning to a text from Ben Cleveland — he’s a Georgia commit too, he’s a left tackle — saying, ‘Did you hear the news about Richt?’ I thought he was joking

and then he sent me a picture saying he got let go at Georgia. I didn’t really know what to think then. I was like, ‘Woah. This is my future. I’d been committed there like 18 months, so what am I going to do now?’”

Two days later Eason was on a plane for an official visit to the University of Florida. Eason bonded with Florida offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier, who coached at the University of Washington from 2009-11 and

played at the University of Idaho, and head coach Jim McElwain, who played quarterback for Eastern Washington University from 1980-83.

“I knew Florida was a pretty good option because Coach Nuss and Coach Mac both are from around here,” Eason said. “So I set up a trip there to go check that out and ended up really liking it. There’s a lot of good things.

Hawks cut cornerback Williams

COMMUNITY COLLEGE BASKETBALL

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Three weeks ago Cary Williams found himself starting at cornerback for the Legion of Boom, the highest profile secondary in the NFL. On Monday he found himself on the waiver wire.

Williams’ tenure with the Seattle Seahawks Seahawks notebook, C4 came to an abrupt end Monday as the big-money offseason free-agent signing was released just 12 games into his stint with the Seahawks.

A day after Seattle’s dominating 38-7 victory at Minnesota, the big news out of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center was the Seahawks cutting the player they handed a three-year, $18-million contract during the offseason.

“It’s a short amount of time to try and catch up with all the real specifics of our technique and stuff, but he did a nice job,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday press conference. “He progressed with it. But we feel more comfortable with the guys who have been with us, so we made the move.”

Williams was part of the offseason cornerback shuffle between Seattle and Philadelphia. The Seahawks lost Byron Maxwell when he signed a six-year, $63 million deal with the Eagles. Seattle in turn signed Williams away from Philadelphia to fill the void at right cornerback.

Williams came to Seattle with credentials. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder out of Washburn University, who’s in his eighth season in the NFL, started all 16 games the previous four seasons, the first two with the Baltimore Ravens and the past two with the Eagles. In those four seasons he recorded 248 tackles and nine interceptions.

He began this season as Seattle’s starter opposite Richard

Everett Community College forward Noah Jones played at Arlington High School.

Trojans have some horses Larry Walker is in his 31st season as the men’s basketball coach at Everett Community College, and this season’s Trojans could be one of Walker’ best teams.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

In his 31 years as head men’s basketball coach at Everett Community College, Larry Walker has been blessed with some very good teams.

This season he appears blessed with one of his best.

The Trojans return four starters from a team that finished 18-14 a year ago and reached the Northwest Athletic Conference postseason tournament. Derek Brown Jr., a 6-foot guard who played at Auburn-Riverside High School, averaged 19.1 points a game, seventh in the 33-team league, and was named to the

NWAC tournament first team.

He is, Walker said, “one of the best scorers in the league.” And Brown has been even better this season, averaging 24.4 points through eight games (including 40-plus in both of his past two games) while helping the Trojans to a 6-2 non-league mark.

Other returning starters for Everett CC are 6-1 guard Quadir Williams (Todd Beamer of Federal Way), 6-3 guard Said Hersi (Ingraham of Seattle), and 6-4 forward Noah Jones (Arlington).

In addition, the Trojans have some promising freshmen, including 5-11 guard Brevin Brown (Cascade).

The season is still young, so

“we’ll see how it goes,” Walker said. “But this is definitely one of the better teams I’ve had at this point.”

Added Walker: “We were good last year. We made it to the tournament and the kids, after playing last year, now know how physical it is and that they can play through it. So I expect them to be better this year.”

The team’s strength, Walker said, is that “we play together really well. And we can shoot it.

Not just shoot the 3, but our two guards can really go to the basket. So we can score, for sure. And See BASKETBALL, Page C4

Mariners send Smith, Elias to Red Sox for lefty Miley

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It didn’t take the Seattle Mariners long to replace Hisashi Iwakuma in their rotation.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had not even confirmed signing Iwakuma on Monday before the Mariners acquired lefty Wade Miley and reliever Jonathan Aro from Boston for lefty Roenis Elias and reliever Carson Smith.

“It was Plan 1-A,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said. “When Kuma opted to head for the Dodgers, this was the preferred

route.”

Miley, 29, was 11-11 with a 4.46 ERA last season in 32 starts for the Red Sox after spending the threeplus previous years at Arizona.

Dipoto was the Diamondbacks’ vice president for player personnel when they selected Miley with the 43rd overall pick in the 2008 draft.

Miley is guaranteed $15.6 million over the next two years, including a $500,000 buyout clause on a club option for $12 million in 2018.

“Wade provides stability to our rotation,” Dipoto said. “He takes his starts. We’re raising the floor.

Baseball, C2

NFL, C4

|

One way of the other, you’re going to have to throw 1,450 innings in a season and, hey, they have to come from somewhere.”

Aro, 25, is a right-handed reliever who spent most of last season at Triple-A Pawtucket before making his major-league debut with six appearances in two tours.

“We like Jonathan as a guy who has a chance to compete for some of those middle innings,” Dipoto said. “He is very similar in a lot of ways to Rafael Betancourt, who was with the Rockies.

ROOT

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips will lose a big component of their team following Wednesday’s game, when star defenseman Noah Juulsen leaves to attend Team Canada’s Selection Camp for the 2016 World Junior Championships.

Juulsen was one of 11 defensemen invited to camp. Several media outlets consider the 18-year-old Canadiens prospect as a ‘lock’ to make the team, and his chances improved following a Monday TSN report that fellow invitee Jake Walman of Providence College suffered a shoulder injury and has been ruled out for the tournament that runs Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Helsinki, Finland.

The Silvertips take on Portland at Xfinity Arena Wednesday

Team USA camp Of course, Canada is just one of 10 teams that will compete in Finland.

Three WHL players were selected for the U.S. Selection Camp. Coincidentally all three hail from the appropriately named U.S. Division.

Portland Winterhawks forward Paul Bittner (Crookston, Minn), Seattle Thunderbirds forward Scott Eansor (Englewood, Colo.) and TriCity Americans defenseman Brandon Carlo (Colorado Springs, Colo.) each earned invitations to the selection camp.

Everett draftee Auston Matthews (Scottsdale, Ariz.), who is playing professionally in Switzerland this season, was also invited to the camp.

U.S. Division The U.S. Division isn’t quite as

tightly bunched as the Central Division, the latter having three teams tied for first place with 38 points.

However, the top three teams in the U.S. Division — Seattle, Spokane and Everett — are all within four points of one another. Seattle leads the division with 36 points and is 7-2-0-1 in its last 10 games. Spokane has 33 points and is 7-3-0-0 in its previous 10.

The Tips (32 points) are 5-4-0-1 in their last 10, but have a chance to close that gap with games at Seattle on Saturday and at Spokane a week from Wednesday.

Benson, Edmonds honored Vancouver Giants forward Tyler Benson was named the WHL Player of the Week while Prince George’s Ty Edmonds was the nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week, the league announced Monday.

Both players played in Everett last week.

Benson scored two goals and six assists as the Giants finished the week 2-2-0-0. He scored the lone goal in Everett’s 3-1 victory Saturday.

Stanford’s McCaffrey one of three finalists for Heisman San Jose Mercury News

Home

TODAY

Herald Writer

before heading on the road to Tri-City and Seattle this weekend. All told, Juulsen would likely miss eight games if he makes the team and competes at the event in Finland.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Stanford tailback Christian McCaffrey’s dash through the record book will end in New York City.

The sophomore was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy on Monday after a season in which he broke Barry Sanders’ 27-year-old NCAA record for allpurpose yards.

The other players invited to New York for the award ceremony are Alabama running back Derrick Henry and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.

McCaffrey is attempting to do what runners-up John Elway (1982), Toby Gerhart (2009) and Andrew Luck (2010-11) could not: Become Stanford’s first Heisman winner since Jim Plunkett in 1970.

Working against him: Stanford played seven games that started at 10 p.m. or later in the Eastern Time Zone.

MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey broke Barry Sanders’ 27-yearold NCAA record for all-purpose yards.

“Does he deserve to be considered? Yes, yes, he does,” USC coach Clay Helton said after McCaffrey blistered the Trojans for 461 all-purpose yards in the Pac-12 championship game Saturday.

McCaffrey’s season total of

3,496 rushing, receiving and return yards is 1,000 more than his closest competitor, San Jose State’s Tyler Ervin.

McCaffrey is also fifth in the nation in rushing (142.1 yards per game) and leads Stanford in

receptions (41).

Cardinal coach David Shaw called McCaffrey “the best player in the nation. There is nobody doing what he’s doing. It’s not even a debate.”

All this comes after McCaffrey spent the 2014 season as a role player — a rookie trying to grasp pass protection schemes and contribute the handful of times he touched the ball each game.

In the dark horse nature of his Heisman campaign, McCaffrey is not alone. None of the finalists were frontrunners when the season began.

Henry, considered the favorite for the trophy, shared the Alabama workload last year. But like McCaffrey, he broke a hallowed record this fall: The SEC singleseason rushing record held by Herschel Walker.

Clemson’s Watson missed half of last season with injuries but has emerged as the best player on the top-ranked and only undefeated team.

Ex-football coach Sarkisian sues USC, alleges breach of contract

By Nathan Fenno Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Former University of Southern California football coach Steve Sarkisian sued the school Monday, claiming that Athletic Director Pat Haden fired him in October instead of allowing him to seek treatment for alcoholism.

“Instead of accommodating Steve Sarkisian’s disability, USC kicked him to the curb,” the lawsuit said.

The 31-page complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges breach of contract, discrimination on the basis of disability and invasion of privacy.

It also provides Sarkisian’s first public account of the events that led to his ouster after less than two years as USC’s head coach.

In the suit, Sarkisian says the stress of his job coupled with his wife filing for divorce earlier this year furthered his alcohol

Mariners From Page C1

“He has a good history of missing bats. He has a good history of throwing the ball over the plate.”

The price wasn’t cheap.

Smith, 26, compiled a 2.31 ERA last season in 70 appearances and spent part of the year as the club’s closer. Elias, 27, is 15-20 with a 3.97 ERA in 51 games, including 49 starts, over the last two years.

“It was tough to give up Carson Smith,” Dipoto said. “We understand that. But without the ability to access the startingpitcher market that we wanted to access, we needed to deploy something to make that happen.

“Carson Smith was the currency that got us to where we needed to be. He was the center point of the deal for the Red Sox. Wade, obviously, was the center point for us.”

The trade came less than a day after the Dodgers reached agreement with Iwakuma on a

dependency.

The issue came into public view during USC’s Salute to Troy booster event in August. Sarkisian said in the lawsuit that hours before the event, he consumed two light beers along with prescription medication for anxiety. When Sarkisian spoke at the event, he slurred his words and uttered a profanity.

“Haden then met privately with Mr. Sarkisian and threatened that he could fire him on the spot,” the lawsuit said.

In the aftermath, the lawsuit said, Haden required Sarkisian to sign a letter agreeing to apologize for his behavior and to meet weekly with a therapist at USC. In a written statement, USC general counsel Carol Mauch Amir assailed the lawsuit and said the school will “vigorously” defend itself.

“Much of what is stated in the lawsuit ... is patently untrue,” the statement said. “The record will show that Mr. Sarkisian repeatedly

denied to university officials that he had a problem with alcohol, never asked for time off to get help and resisted university efforts to provide him with help.”

The lawsuit said Sarkisian had no alcohol-related issues following Salute to Troy, and pointedly denied that the coach was intoxicated during a Sept. 26 game against Arizona State.

However, the lawsuit said, after Washington, where Sarkisian coached for five seasons prior to coming to USC, upset the Trojans, 17-12, on Oct. 8, the coach’s “depression and anxiety worsened” and his alcohol consumption outside work increased.

On Oct. 11, the lawsuit said, Sarkisian arrived at USC for a team meeting but did not feel right after drinking the previous night. The lawsuit said Sarkisian wasn’t intoxicated at the meeting, but had taken prescription medication before the gathering and that his anxiety and

depression were “spiraling out of control in his mind.”

Sarkisian realized he needed help and left USC of his own volition before that afternoon’s practice, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said Sarkisan was “upset, teary and nearly hyperventilating” before finally calling Haden on a speaker phone and asking for time off.

According to the lawsuit, Haden said: “Unbelievable!

Can’t you even go back to the office to finish the day?”

Sarkisian responded: “No, I need to get help. I’m not right.”

Haden directed Sarkisian to speak to a USC sports psychologist who previously counseled the coach and placed him on leave.

The next day, Sarkisian took a flight to an in-patient treatment facility. When he landed, the lawsuit said, he learned Haden had fired him when the coach saw a letter of termination attached to an email.

three-year deal for $45 million.

“We just weren’t willing to go to the third year,” Dipoto said.

“We made that apparent early on. We were aggressive in what we did, and we went as far as we were willing to go.”

Dipoto pointed to Miley’s workhorse resume as a key element in the trade.

“He takes his starts,” Dipoto said. “One of the issues we had with the extra year on Kuma was just not being able to press too firmly on the pencil with how far into that we could get.”

Another factor: The Mariners viewed the top free-agent alternatives — including Yovani Gallardo and Ian Kennedy — as likely to require a longer commitment and a higher salary.

The Mariners were also loathe to surrender their top draft pick, No. 11 overall, as the penalty for signing a player who received a qualifying offer from his former club.

“We traded Carson Smith and Roenis Elias,” Dipoto said, “for the right to keep our first draft pick and Wade Miley and

Jonathan Aro.” Dipoto also said the club’s rotation is now fairly set. Miley will slot behind staff ace Felix Hernandez with Taijuan Walker, Nathan Karns and James Paxton projected to complete the fiveman unit.

“We will continue to try to pad the lower level,” Dipoto said, “but this is the biggest starting pitcher acquisition that we’ll make.”

The Mariners, toward that end, have already signed right-hander Donn Roach to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league camp.

Roach turns 26 later this month and pitched primarily at Triple-A over the last two seasons, although he did make 16 appearances, including one start, for San Diego in 2014.

“Combine (Roach) with (Vidal) Nuno and Anthony Bass having the ability to stretch out and start games,” Dipoto said, “we feel that is some level of cover for the five-man rotation.”

The Mariners, in contrast, will seek to strengthen a bullpen

weakened by Smith’s departure.

“In most free-agent markets,” Dipoto said, “the bullpen is the longest draw. There will be options. Somehow, between now and the start of the season, we will work toward acquiring as many options as we can.

“We feel that we have a good start with (Joaquin) Benoit, (Charlie) Furbush, (Tony) Zych, (Justin) De Fratus and Aro.”

Lind to Mariners?

The Mariners are also showing interest in Milwaukee first baseman/ DH Adam Lind, a left-handed hitter who batted .277 last season with 20 homers and 87 RBI in 149 games.

Lind, 32, is under contract next season for $8 million before becoming a free agent. The Brewers are seeking prospects, which could be a tough match; the Mariners’ farm system is thinly stocked at the upper levels.

Short hops Former Mariners reliever Mark Lowe, who finished last season at Toronto, is heading to Detroit on a two-year deal for $13 million. Kansas City re-signed pitcher Chris Young, another former Mariner, for $11.5 million over two years.

Jackson High School senior Drew Locknane is The Herald’s 2015 Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Drew Locknane

Jackson star is the girls soccer player of the year

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

The end of the season was, of course, a disappointment for the Jackson girls soccer team.

But along the way the Timberwolves accomplished some special things with the help of a special player. Jackson won the 2015 Wesco 4A and District 1 titles for the second straight season, and the team’s success was due in no small part to the play of senior all-conference forward Drew Locknane, who led the T-wolves in scoring with 18 goals, including five game-winners.

For her standout season, Locknane is The Herald’s 2015 Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

A year ago, Locknane helped Jackson to the state title game, where the T-wolves lost to Central Valley 5-2. The team’s goal this season was to go one step further, but that dream was dashed in the opening round of the state playoffs with an 8-2 loss to Issaquah, the eventual state champ.

“We knew we’d have to beat them anyways if we were going to win state,” Locknane said, “but losing — and not only losing, but losing the way we did — was real disappointing.”

Even though it ended painfully, “I really couldn’t ask for a better high school career,” she said.

“Looking back on all four years, we were able to make school history as the best soccer team to ever play at Jackson. We had a great team and a great coach,

and to accomplish the things we did … I can’t complain about anything.”

On a team of top players, Locknane “was somebody we always knew we could rely on to score goals,” Jackson head coach Jesslynn Kellerman said. “She was really difficult to defend. She can score in so many different ways, and we knew that regardless of the type of game, we could always count on her to score or assist or to be a key in our offense.”

The funny thing is, Locknane is rarely “the tallest player or the strongest player or the fastest player (on the field),” Kellerman said. “She’s just great at all of them. And since she’s so multi-dimensional, it was hard (for opponents) to know how to defend her. She can score in the air, she’s really strong, she can beat you on the dribble and she’s fast enough to get behind defenders, so (the other team has) to look out for all those options.”

She also has a booming kick, which is sort of her signature.

Locknane is not, by her own admission, “the fastest person … but I’m able to kick the ball pretty hard. Half the time I don’t even feel like I’m trying to aim, I just shoot it. But my outside shot has always been a strength of mine.”

In Kellerman’s mind, Locknane contributed in other ways, too.

As a senior and a captain she was expected to be a team leader, and it was a role she filled capably.

“A lot of times with high school girls you have a leader who is

either a vocal leader, or you have one who is a lead-by-example type of leader,” Kellerman explained. “You rarely get one who kind of does both. But that’s what Drew does. She motivates verbally, she can pick people up and encourage them, and she can even give the pregame or halftime talk to pump people up.

“But she also leads by example.

Everybody knows she’s always going to give 100 percent, so she encourages the rest of the team to give their full effort.”

Though Locknane was certainly a star for Jackson, she was hardly alone. Among the team’s other top contributors was fellow senior co-captain and All-Wesco selection Maddie Cooley, a midfielder, who scored eight goals (four game-winners) this season along with nine assists (five game-winners).

“It’s so nice to be surrounded by so many great players on field that make you look good,” Locknane said. “I couldn’t have scored as many goals as I did without teammates making it easy for me.”

Locknane will play club soccer for Snohomish United through the spring, but said she expects that to be the end of her competitive soccer career. She plans to attend college in the fall, but will likely participate only in intramurals.

Still, Locknane can look back in the future on an outstanding high school soccer experience. It was, she said, “the best ride ever.”

Eason From Page C1

Coach Nuss coached at U-Dub and Coach Mac graduated from Eastern Washington and they’ve both got good track records.

There’s a lot of good things I got out of that trip.”

Eason, a five-star quarterback, is one of the top recruits in the country. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior passed for 3,585 yards and 43 touchdowns this season while leading Lake Stevens to a 12-1 record and berth in the state semifinals.

Sehome M. Pilchuck

Last Thursday, Eason was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for Washington state and he will participate in the U.S. Army All-America Bowl on Jan. 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

As of right now, Eason is still officially committed to the Bulldogs. He signed a financial aid agreement with Georgia over the summer, but said that is non-binding and “just allows the coaches to be able to have unlimited communication” with him.

Eason said new Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who was introduced in a press conference on

Monday, was flying to visit Monday evening and that Eason would fly out on an official visit this weekend.

“Right now, I’m still committed to Georgia,” Eason said. “I took my trip to Florida and I’m still waiting to see who Georgia hires as (offensive coordinator). I have a couple options opened but I’m still committed so we’ll see what happens.”

Eason has talked to Smart on the phone a few times and is excited to meet the new Georgia coach in person.

“He seems like a great guy over the phone,” Eason said. “He’s coming out

tonight actually, I’m going to meet him in person, and then I’m going to fly out there Friday and see what they’ve got going on. He seems like a really good guy over the phone, he’s going to try to get the best situation possible at Georgia. We’ll see how it goes.”

After returning from Georgia, Eason plans to talk things over with his family and make a final decision. Eason, who is graduating from Lake Stevens in December, plans to enroll early at whichever university he attends. He is eager to get the process done and just go back to worrying about football.

“I’m still committed (to Georgia) but I’m going to have to decide between the two. The positives and negatives and all that stuff,” Eason said. “Over this year, with coach Richt getting fired and all that stuff, (Florida) kind of popped up. The coaches have been wanting me to come down for a while so I came down and I liked it a lot. It’s a great school and a great opportunity there too. It’s going to come down, ultimately, to what I decide and where I feel comfortable.

“I’ll come home and talk with my family and my dad and figure everything out.”

SEAHAWKS | Lynch

Carroll says Lynch ‘doing really well’

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Seattle Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch has departed Philadelphia, but is not yet back in Seattle.

Lynch, who missed his third straight game Sunday when the Seahawks beat the Minnesota Vikings 38-7, has left Philadelphia, where he underwent abdominal surgery two weeks ago. However, he has not yet been back to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return to the field.

“The reports are he’s doing really well,” said Seattle coach Pete Carroll, who initially listed the Lynch’s recovery period as three-to-four weeks.

“He’s left Philadelphia now, so we’ll see how it goes the next few weeks, see how he comes around. It’s so much to ask him to jump back after three weeks, I don’t even know how we could think that way. This is week three starting up, so we’ll see how it

goes.”

Carroll declined to divulge Lynch’s current whereabouts, wryly stating that Lynch “is at large.”

Seattle’s running game has not suffered in Lynch’s absence.

Undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls, filling in for Lynch the past three games, gained 391 yards on 70 carries and scored three touchdowns, adding six catches for 68 yards and another TD.

Uncertainty shuts down Richardson Carroll said uncertainty was why the Seahawks placed receiver Paul Richardson on injured reserve Saturday because of a hamstring strain, ending Richardson’s season after one game.

Richardson, a second-round pick in the 2014 draft, began the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list because of a knee injury suffered last season during the playoffs. He made it back for one game, making one catch for 40 yards in Seattle’s Week 11 loss to Arizona before suffering the hamstring injury.

Ever since Richardson seemed on the verge of returning, but he suffered a setback last week.

“We just didn’t feel like he was going to make it in time,” Carroll said about the reasoning behind putting Richardson on injured reserve. “There was uncertainty with the recovery. It’s been a hard year for him and I felt real bad for him because he’s such a cool kid. He wants to play so bad and he did work really hard to get back. But the way it showed up when we evaluated it again, the MRIs and stuff like that, it just looked like it was going to be an unpredictable return. Was it going to be three weeks, five weeks? We didn’t know. To barely get back and maybe keep him in that same mode we didn’t think was the right thing to do.”

Bevell to BYU? Rumors surfaced Monday that Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could be a candidate for the headcoaching vacancy at BYU. Carroll addressed that Monday: “Is the job open?,” Carroll asked. “I didn’t know that.

“I’ve talked to Bev in the past, he’s a great football coach and he can run the whole thing,” Carroll added. “I don’t even know if he’s interested, I haven’t talked to him or anything, I don’t know anything about it.

But he’s a fantastic candidate to be a head coach some day, there’s no question.”

54-yard FG lifts Cowboys to 19-16 win over Redskins Associated Press LANDOVER, Md. — With a wild finish capping an otherwise dull game filled with turnovers, punts and penalties, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins 19-16 on Dan Bailey’s 54-yard field goal with 9 seconds to play Monday night.

After combining to score 18 points in the first 581⁄2 minutes, the teams had 17 in the last 90 seconds. Dallas scored the game’s first touchdown to lead 16-9 after recovering DeSean Jackson’s fumble on a punt return, Washington tied it on Jackson’s

Sherman, starting the first 10 games with mixed results. Williams was benched midway through Seattle’s 29-13 victory over San Francisco three weeks ago, then was left inactive the past two games. DeShawn Shead was inserted into the starting lineup in Williams’ place and has performed well, while Jeremy Lane has added depth since being activated from the physicallyunable-to-perform list two weeks ago.

“Really, it was the return of Jeremy,” Carroll said in explaining the timing of the move. “He’s had a couple games now with us. And the emergence of DeShawn Shead, his play has really been good. There’s

28-yard TD catch, before Bailey hit the go-ahead kick.

The Cowboys remained in the hunt in the woeful NFC East. Lastplace Dallas is 4-8, one game behind the Redskins, Giants and Eagles, who are all 5-7.

With the score knotted at 9-9, Jackson — who hadn’t been used as a punt returner this season until last week — caught the kick at his 16, began running up the field and got past the 20, before reversing course and heading backward all the way to the 1. As he again tried to move forward, Jackson was surrounded and the ball popped out, recovered by punter Chris Jones at

the 15 with 1:26 to play.

Dallas needed only two plays to cash in, jumping in front on Darren McFadden’s 6-yard touchdown run. A 41-yard kickoff return plus a 15-yard facemask penalty on J.J. Wilcox set the Redskins up at Dallas’ 43, and four plays later, Jackson hauled in a perfect pass from Cousins in the back corner of the end zone to pull even with 44 seconds to go.

That left enough time for Matt Cassel — previously 0-4 as a starter in place of the injured Romo this season — to take Dallas 20 yards in five plays for Bailey’s fourth field goal of the evening.

always considerations for special teams and other things that go along with it. Cary’s a good football player and did some good stuff for us and all that. But our guys kind of came back to us and so gave us an opportunity to go to them.”

Carroll said Williams reacted well to being benched, and that his attitude did not play a role in his being released.

“He was a real pro,” Carroll said.

“He worked hard in practice and all that. His attitude was excellent. It didn’t change him at all, he was fine.”

Williams, finished his time with Seattle with 44 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery for a touchdown.

The Seahawks do not receive any financial benefit this season from releasing Williams, as his $3.5 million base salary is fully guaranteed. Next season Seattle will take

an approximate hit of $2.33 million against the cap in dead money toward Williams, but will receive a cap savings of about $3.83 million.

With Williams released, Seattle is left with five cornerbacks on the roster: Sherman, Shead, Lane, Marcus Burley and Tye Smith. Lane was used as the nickel corner Sunday against the Vikings, while Burley operated as the nickel early in the season before suffering a broken thumb Week 4 against Detroit.

Smith, a rookie, has appeared in just two games this season.

Williams’ release leaves Seattle with 52 players on the active roster, meaning the Seahawks have room add another player.

Western’s Harper named to All-West Region second team Herald staff Western Washington University volleyball player Kayleigh Harper has been named to the D2CCA AllWest Region second team.

Harper, a redshirt freshman from Oak Harbor, is a middle blocker for the Vikings. She finished third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference this season with a .335 hitting percentage, and was second in the GNAC and sixth in NCAA Division II with 1.40 blocks per set. Her 137 total

defensively Quadir and Derek are really tough on defense. They’ve caused havoc with the guards we’ve played so far.”

Another plus, he said, is that the players “get along really well. They like each other, and besides basketball they do a lot stuff together.

They’re great personalities, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Here’s a look at the other community college teams in the area: Edmonds men If the Tritons are to continue their success from recent seasons — Edmonds made it to the league tournament’s championship game in both 2013 and 2015 — it will be with a largely young and, as yet, unproven squad.

“We’re a really young team, for sure,” head coach Kyle Gray said. “We’ve got a lot of freshmen, but it’s a very athletic team and there’s a lot of talent.” How the Tritons fare, he went on, “will kind of be about how this team comes together chemistry-wise.

blocks (25 solo, 112 block assists) are the eighth-highest single-season total in WWU history.

The Vikings (26-5) won the NCAA Division II West Regional over the weekend to advance to the Elite 8. Western plays the Midwest Regional champion, Rockhurst, in the national quarterfinals Thursday at the University of Tampa in Tampa, Florida.

Everett player has top shot Aurora Spencer of Everett, a member

“We’ve got to hone in on the defensive end,” he said, “but we’re certainly not short of talent and guys who are able to score the ball.”

Jas Coulson, a 6-0 guard who averaged 19.7 points a game in 2014-15 (11th in the NWAC), is one of the few returning players for Edmonds CC. Among the newcomers, Gray is counting on 6-6 forward Loren LaCasse (Mountlake Terrace), 6-6 guard Zach Walton (White Pass of Morton), and 6-2 guard Giovanni Williams (Franklin of Seattle).

Given the program’s recent history, Gray knows what it takes to succeed in both the regular season and in the postseason. And this team, he said, “can certainly make it happen. I think our division is very tough — it’s probably the toughest in the NWAC — but if we’re able take care of business ... I don’t see any reason for us not to be in the hunt for the playoffs, and then maybe do some damage in the tournament.”

Edmonds CC dropped its 2015-16 opener, but has since won four straight games.

Everett CC women Back for a 36th season as Everett CC’s head coach, Chet Hovde says he’s excited about his team’s prospects in 2015-16.

The team was 13-15 a year ago, and just missed out on an NWAC tournament

of the Washington Wild 14-U girls hockey team, captured first place in the Hardest Shot skills competition last month at the Burnaby Remembrance Day Tournament in Burnaby, British Columbia.

Spencer had the fastest shot at 54 mph, which was nearly twice as fast as the runner-up.

Spencer spent the summer working on her slap shot, taking more than 11,000 shots in three months, the Wild said in a press release.

“Aurora is one of our hardest working players,” Wild head coach Shaun Miller said, “and her effort over the summer is paying off.”

berth. Hovde has just three returning players, including 5-6 guard Breezy Shore (Monroe), who was a second-team AllNorth Region pick in 2014-15.

Hovde also will count on sophomores Maddy Nealy (5-5 guard, EdmondsWoodway) and Makaliah Johnson (5-6 forward, Auburn-Mountainview); and freshmen Lauren Allison (5-9 center, Stanwood), Claire Fyfe (6-0 center, Edmonds-Woodway), Lily Hilderbrand (510 forward, Oroville), and Jessalyn Reiter (5-9 forward, Delta Junction, Alaska).

The Trojans, 2-3 to date, “are together,” Hovde said. “They work hard and they’re close knit, and you can’t coach that. And they have talent. If we don’t turn the ball over and if we rebound, I think we can be one of the top teams ... so I’m excited.”

Edmonds CC women The Tritons are winless through their first five games, but “if we ever learn to play together we’ll be fine,” head coach Ron Newton said. “Right now, they’re still trying learn about each other. We’ve just not come together as a team yet. But I like the kids. We’ve got a good group, but we’re a little inexperienced.”

The team is led by three returning players from a year ago — 5-9 wing Asiyah Davis (Cleveland of Seattle), 5-7 wing Shaleea Butler (Las Vegas) and 5-4 guard Kearstin Franco (Meadowdale).

SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders traded Lamar Neagle away from his hometown team on Monday, the first day that the Major League Soccer offseason trade window opened.

Neagle was sent to D.C. United for allocation money, which can be used to reduce the cost of

player contracts against the league’s salary cap. He is a 28-year-old forward/midfielder from Federal Way, who played at Thomas Jefferson High School “For sure it matters that he’s local,” general manager Garth Lagerwey said. “ … But ultimately we have to do what we feel is best for our soccer team, and we feel like we got an amount of money back that was

a good value for Lamar.

Between the combination we got from clearing his salary and getting that further money as compensation, we felt that was a good healthy salary cap swing for us and one that we needed to make.”

Lagerwey indicated the Sounders could sit out MLS free agency, along with this week’s waiver and re-entry drafts.

“It’s possible you’ll see additions this calendar year, but more likely it’s probably January before the guys start trickling back onto the roster,” Lagerwey said. “We have 21 guys signed right now. … We feel like once you add a college draft pick, some of the other things we’re looking at, the roster’s going to get filled pretty quickly.” locally owned and operated
