Fired official may be thief The former director at a public agency is suspected of spending tens of thousands of dollars for his own use.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — The discovery of one lie at a public agency in Snohomish County turned up much bigger lies, including the apparent theft of public property that may total in the tens of

thousands of dollars.

Mark S. McDermott, the former director of the Snohomish County Emergency Radio System, was fired Oct. 8 for lying about his credentials. The way he ran the agency, which oversees about $25 million of public safety equipment, created distrust and

a lack of transparency, according to public records obtained by The Daily Herald.

A review of financial records showed that McDermott, 63, also allegedly used taxpayer money for personal purchases that had nothing to do with his job, including about 100 tons of gravel for a road behind his house.

The Lynnwood Police Department is investigating McDermott

on suspicion of felony theft.

The emergency radio system serves every city in Snohomish County and more than 2,000 first responders. Known locally as SERS, the agency was formed in 1999 with a board of police and fire chiefs and elected officials. The board president is Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring.

The revised law eliminates the harshest punishments and shifts control of certain actions back to states and local school districts.

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday approved a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law that axes the most stringent restrictions and harshest punishments imposed on schools whose students don’t pass certain standardized tests.

President Barack Obama is expected to sign the bill Thursday that will shift control for improving student achievement, choosing grade-level curriculum and evaluating teacher performance from the federal government to states and school districts.

Senators passed it 85-12, one week after it cleared the House by a margin of 359-64. All 12 members of the state’s congressional delegation voted for it.

“I’ve been listening a long time to angry parents, students who are upset and teachers in tears because the No Child Left Behind law is not working,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who teamed with Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander, of Tennessee, to craft much of the rewrite. “This is a great day.”

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn called the new law, dubbed Every Student Succeeds Act, “a morale boost for the field of education in our state.”

“Some of the punishments are taken away. Some of the unattainable goals that were set and doomed for failure are taken away,” he said. “Now we can look at what we need to do and to set and attain goals for student achievement.”

For Washington, one of the biggest changes is the erasure of a provision that had required every public school student to be reading and doing math at grade level by 2014.

Nearly 90 percent of the state’s 2,300 public schools didn’t meet that bar the past two years. It forced principals to send letters to parents explaining why their

The board didn’t find out about the apparent thefts until two weeks after McDermott was fired, Nehring said. He immediately notified police and the state Auditor’s Office.

“From Day One, our goal has been to be transparent and deal with it swiftly,” Nehring said. “What we’re trying to do is do the right thing and get beyond this.”

Nehring and Lynnwood Police Chief Steve Jensen, who’s also on the SERS board, had asked McDermott multiple times whether he had a college degree and a professional engineering certification.

He was using the designation “P.E.” after his name, records show. McDermott’s equivocal answers led them to ask for proof.

After McDermott was fired, the board appointed an interim director, who started going through the agency’s invoices.

On Oct. 23, a Friday afternoon, the interim director called Nehring and they met at 4 p.m., not wanting to wait a weekend.

Some of the invoices listed heavy equipment

mandate that schools meet certain requirements regarding student growth and evaluating teachers, including using student test scores in the evaluations.

Washington lawmakers wrestled the past two sessions on whether to require test data be part of evaluations. This should avert a third year of battles.

“We’ve said all along that mandating the use of test scores in evaluations is a misguided policy that doesn’t help teachers or students,” said Rich

Wood, spokesman for the Washington Education Association, the statewide teachers union Other aspects of the new law include: ■ Maintaining annual statewide assessments in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school; ■ Allowing states to choose academic standards in reading and math. This means the federal government cannot mandate use of Common Core; ■ Increasing funding for early childhood

education programs; ■ Increasing funding for the Impact AID program, which makes up the difference in revenue for districts with large numbers of federally-connected students.

Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., pushed for this provision that could bring additional dollars to several school districts in Washington.

Since families on military bases and on Indian lands do not pay local property taxes, schools with a large percentage of these students wind up

collecting less tax revenues.

Impact Aid provides direct payments to these school districts such as ones in Marysville and Oak Harbor.

“Today, Congress recognized the importance of supporting school districts like these all over the country. Bigger, more certain Impact Aid payments mean school districts can better focus on what they do best — educating our students,” Larsen said in a statement.

that never was added to the SERS inventory, Nehring said. Other invoices “didn’t make sense,” Nehring said.

“There’s no reason for SERS to buy grass feed” for a lawn.

“I was personally very surprised,” Nehring said.

“We were all surprised,” Jensen said.

On Nov. 11, when detectives arrived to serve a search warrant at McDermott’s Arlington-area home, he was installing a security system. It allegedly had been purchased with public money, according to an affidavit filed in a Snohomish County district court.

Investigators have conferred with prosecutors on potential charges, Lynnwood Police Cmdr.

Steve Rider said Wednesday.

SERS, which recently moved from Everett to Marysville, has eight fulltime staff. The 2015 budget is about $2.4 million. The most recent audit by the state, published Sept. 24, found no major problems.

McDermott was hired as a technical specialist in 2001. In 2013, the board asked a recruiting firm to search for a new director, and McDermott applied. His resume at that time didn’t list a college degree or a professional

engineering certification.

A degree isn’t required for the job, which pays $128,000 a year.

After McDermott was promoted, he started representing himself with electrical engineering credentials. His technical skills lent him credibility, officials said.

No one noticed the lie until a few months ago, when McDermott came under fire for giving staff pay raises and promotions without going through the proper channels. The salary increases were buried deep within the budget.

An Everett law firm conducted an internal investigation for SERS this summer.

The board met with McDermott on Aug. 28. He promised to improve communication and dispel “any pending distrustfulness.”

In September, Jensen and Nehring started asking McDermott about his credentials. The answers varied.

Nehring sent him a letter Oct. 1 saying he was being placed on paid leave, and likely would be fired.

“You lied directly to me,” Nehring wrote.

In the Oct. 8 termination letter, Nehring wrote, “This situation is most unfortunate and disconcerting.”

That was before he learned about the alleged thefts.

By the time police went to search McDermott’s home Nov. 11, they suspected he had substantial property belonging to SERS, and a lot of it had nothing to do with his duties.

The search warrants list a $33,000 tractor, multiple trailers — including one worth $8,500; a lawn mower, cellphones, computers and tablets.

McDermott reportedly used SERS-owned generators to power his house during outages.

McDermott later returned a missing aerial drone, the kind used by hobbyists to take pictures. Staff told police they’d heard SERS had a drone, but it had never been used for radio tower maintenance.

The day detectives arrived, McDermott was installing a security system on his 2,700-square-foot house. Another surveillance system already was set up elsewhere on his property. Both allegedly were purchased with taxpayer money.

After the Nov. 11 warrant, McDermott was taken to the Lynnwood Police Department for questioning.

Lynnwood detective Scott Dilworth specializes in financial crimes. He’s a member of the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force out of Seattle. He pored over SERS invoices.

One bill was for 48 tons of gravel. Dilworth checked Google Earth archives. A gravel road showed up on McDermott’s property this spring.

Between February and August, McDermott used SERS accounts to buy 80 more tons of gravel.

In 2014, he purchased more than 550 yards of topsoil. There is no SERS property that would require topsoil, employees told detectives.

Despite the recent troubles, the emergency radio system remains a reliable and critical communication link for Snohomish County, Nehring said.

“We’ve been spending an extraordinary amount of time on (the McDermott matter) through the last three or four months because it is such a crucial thing for us to ensure the integrity of the organization,” he said.

He added: “The due diligence on the smaller matters led to this.”

Sky Valley takes brunt of flood

Council dismisses aviation hub plan

By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MONROE — It’s been a long, wet flood season. And they’re not out of the water yet.

Flood warnings were still in effect Wednesday as people in Snohomish County kept an eye on rising and falling rivers.

Some had taken steps to protect property or had moved out of the water’s path. Others went about their business as usual.

The Snohomish River continued to swell Wednesday near Snohomish and Monroe.

The rising water was flooding

“I’m used to it,” he said. “It’s

The Skykomish River near Gold Bar reached its peak Wednesday morning and is expected to continue to fall.

2 charged in Granite Falls drive-by shooting

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Two men are now charged with drive-by shooting for gunfire that broke out at a party in Granite Falls in May. Prosecutors allege Victor Dawkins pulled a 9mm handgun during a dispute and “started shooting wildly.”

No one was hit. But a neighbor heard the shots, ran outside with his own handgun and returned fire on a vehicle leaving the scene.

The vehicle’s driver, Nestor Reyes, also is charged with driveby shooting, a felony. Neither

defendant has prior criminal history.

Witnesses told detectives a fight broke out May 23 at a house party on W. Wallace Street. The fight spilled outside onto the street and in front of the duplex.

That’s when Dawkins, 21, allegedly went for his gun and started shooting.

“Miraculously, no one was struck by the bullets,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson wrote in charging documents.

Dawkins reportedly ran to a sport utility vehicle and fired the handgun through the

open sunroof.

A neighbor, who came outside because of the commotion, yelled that he was calling police.

He heard the shots from the fleeing vehicle, and told detectives he heard bullets strike the duplex near him, so he drew his gun and shot back.

He hit the SUV several times as it drove off.

By then, numerous people had called 911 and deputies were racing to the scene. One deputy spotted the SUV and stopped it a short distance away.

Reyes, 19, allegedly was driving and Dawkins was inside.

Detectives spotted a handgun under Dawkins’ seat.

A search of the vehicle turned up a 9mm pistol. Deputies recovered multiple shell casings outside the party location.

Dawkins allegedly denied being involved in a shooting. He admitted that there had been a fight but said he and his friends left. He and Reyes were arrested.

Two other passengers in the SUV also were arrested. No charges have been filed against them.

EVERETT — An aircraft collector’s dream of teaming up with Snohomish County to build a historic aviation hub at Paine Field didn’t fly with the County Council.

A 3-2 majority of the council voted Wednesday to turn down the idea that John Sessions first suggested two years ago to the day. The dissenters said they found the concept of the historic aviation campus intriguing, but questioned the prudence of giving up more than a dozen acres of Paine Field real estate for free or nominal rent. They said taxpayers would be better served by asking the full market rent for the land.

“The proposal: It is a great dream. It’s impressive,” Councilman Terry Ryan said. “However, Snohomish County doesn’t have unlimited space or land at the airport and frankly Snohomish County’s finances are very tight and it’s likely to get tighter soon.”

Ryan cited interest from three prospective tenants, including a letter of intent from the Boeing Co., to lease the same taxiway Kilo 6 area on the west side of the airport for parking unspecified airplanes. Boeing has parked 787s there in the past.

The land would command roughly $350,000 per year at regular rent.

Ryan joined with Councilman Ken Klein and Council Chairman Dave Somers to reject the proposal. Council members Brian Sullivan and Stephanie Wright supported it.

“This is a sad day and a lack of vision,” Sullivan said.

Sessions said he had been prepared to invest more than $40 million to build out five new buildings along taxiway Kilo 6.

The area is next to the Historic Flight Foundation, a museum on Bernie Webber Drive that Sessions created. He said he’s run out of exhibit space and wants to expand. His bigger plan also would have sought out other aircraft collections as well as restoration and educational facilities.

Sessions reported receiving interest from notable aircraft collections around the world.

Though hesitant to drop names, he provided the County Council with a letter of support from the Royal Air Force Museum in the United Kingdom.

The cost of the land would have been small, he reasoned, compared to the financial benefits the county could have reaped through an admissions tax, tourism and education for the community. He called it “a decision between a nickel now and a dollar later.”

He lamented after Wednesday’s hearing that it took such a long time for the idea to get shot down.

“We could’ve been working a year with some place that really wants us,” he said.

More than 20 people spoke at the hearing, most in favor of the proposal.

They said it would boost tourism and inspire young people to pursue careers in aerospace. Leaders from the cities of Mukilteo, Everett, Snohomish, Arlington, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace submitted letters of support.

There were critics, though, among them airport tenants who said it would be unfair to give the aviation attractions a break on rent while other businesses and museums pay full price. Representatives from a corporate aircraft hangar spoke about their ongoing litigation with the Historic Flight Foundation over safety concerns and access to taxiways. They said they would support Sessions’ idea in another place under different conditions.

Barbara Louise (Harmon)

Her home was always bustling with activity that sometimes bordered on chaos but she loved it that way!

Harmony Business Services, Barbara’s business, was more than just a job for her.

She made many life-long friends, touched many lives, encouraged countless people, and worked tirelessly to give each of her clients the best resumes possible to get the jobs they were seeking. When the job market got extremely difficult, her resumes stood out amongst the norm, and often were c o m m e n t e d o n by h i r i n g staff as to why they got a closer look.

She helped writers write books, and scientists write papers, she could do just about anything.

Barbara served faithfully in the King County jail ministry as a Chaplain, sharing her faith with those seeking healing and meaning in the midst of their darkest days.

She spent time with some of the worst offenders - those that the world had given up on, and learned their hearts.

She was amazed at some of the transformations that she witnessed.

She faithfully supported a wide variety of charitable Christian organizations. As an example, in the founding years of the African Children’s Choir, she volunteered herself and office space in her home. She sponsored several children in Africa from grade school through college, who are now successful business To Place an In Memoriam or Obituary, please call

Two-alarm blaze burns homes under construction

Jackpot won by citizen of Iraq

Herald staff CLEARVIEW — A two-alarm fire broke out at a construction site Wednesday morning in the Clearview area.

The fire was reported just before 6:30 a.m. 188th Street SE

Man “covered his eyes with his arm, and then poked at numbers in the air� to pick the winning numbers, Oregon official says.

near Broadway Avenue, said Heather Chadwick, spokeswoman for Snohomish County Fire District 7.

Crews arrived to find flames shooting from one house under construction, and smoke coming from a second house. No one was

in either building at the time.

A neighbor at the scene had a medical emergency and was hospitalized, Chadwick said.

The person was an adult, but the age and gender weren’t available. “It is unknown if the injury is

related to the fires,� Chadwick said.

Crews also responded from Snohomish, Woodinville, Gold Bar and Fire District 1. Some remained on scene through 9 a.m.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon Lottery winner took more than three months to claim his $6.4 million Megabucks jackpot.

But the lucky man had good reason for being late — he lives in Iraq.

The man cashed in Dec. 1 at lottery headquarters in Salem, said Chuck Baumann, the Oregon Lottery spokesman. He elected to take his millions in 25 annual installments of $256,000 minus taxes.

Though the Lottery generally prohibits winners from remaining anonymous, officials have honored the man’s request to keep his identity secret.

Baumann said it’s because the winner is concerned about his safety back home. “He made it very clear that the amount of money he had won here would certainly put him and his family in harm’s way,� Baumann said.

The winner bought the ticket for the Aug. 24 drawing through an online lottery agent based overseas.

Baumann said it’s his educated guess that the agent has people deployed across the world to go into retailers and buy lottery tickets. He said its employee for Oregon games must be in Bend, the city where the winning ticket was purchased.

The winning numbers were: 15, 27, 32, 39, 44 and 45. Baumann said he asked the man how he chose them. The man’s English, though not bad, wasn’t great, and he didn’t provide a clear-cut answer. “He covered his eyes with his arm, and then poked at numbers in the air,� Baumann recalled.

Though the man bought his ticket via the Internet, he had the actual ticket when he arrived in Oregon’s capital city.

Why wouldn’t the person who bought the ticket in Bend quit his job and cash the ticket, rather than hand it off to the Iraqi man? “That thought has certainly occurred to a lot of people here,� Baumann said. “But obviously (the website) has some checks and balances.�

The man, whose win was first reported by Willamette Week, is believed to the first person from outside the U.S. to win the Oregon Megabucks jackpot. Baumann said the Lottery has no restrictions on foreigners winning prizes or buying tickets through an online agent. “There are federal laws that apply to Internet gambling that don’t apply to the Oregon Lottery,� he said. “We have no rules about that because we don’t sell online — the Lottery itself.�

Tree kills woman Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Torrential rains pummeled parts of the Pacific Northwest for another night, leaving an Oregon woman dead after a tree fell onto her house. The storm caused mudslides and flooding roads, and sweeping seven people into the Puyallup River, where they were rescued.

A large Douglas fir tree crashed into a Portland home early Wednesday, killing the 60-year-old woman who was in bed.

Emmons said volunteers worked ahead of this week’s storm because they were caught off guard by the severity of the flooding Nov. 17.

“Everybody went plum crazy this time because nobody did anything the last time,” Loggers Tavern owner Leo Moreno said.

Though the water was receding near Sultan on Wednesday afternoon, sandbags remained stacked in front of his

“We’re taking a wait and see approach,” said City Councilman Rocky Walker, Sultan’s volunteer emergency coordinator.

This week’s storm was the third to cause flooding in town this winter.

KJ’s Used Electronics Thrift Store filled with 3 feet of water during the November storm, said Kim Helm, who owns the new business with her fiance, Jerrell Neal. The muddy water damaged or destroyed much of their merchandise.

they got word that another flood was headed their way.

“Your heart just drops and you panic,” Helm said.

Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce Director Debbie Copple said many businesses have been hard hit. Genesis, a new refrigeration and ventilation business, faced rising water on the day it opened earlier in the fall, and twice since, she said.

Sultan homeowners also were hoping for a break.

Sonja Cushing was still drying the electrical box

from her Jeep, which was filled with water during the November flood, when neighbors started helping each other block water and move belongings to higher ground Tuesday.

“This year has been the worst,” she said. “We’re just tired of it.”

Like the Skykomish, the main-stem Stillaguamish River was receding Wednesday afternoon near Arlington. Flood warnings for the north and south forks of the Stilly were called off.

Now there are coastal flood and wind advisories

in place for Snohomish County from 7 a.m. Thursday until 1 a.m. Friday.

High tides and low pressure are expected to cause Puget Sound to rise. Winds around 25 miles per hour are likely with gusts up to 45 mph.

The forecast for Thursday calls for rain, tapering into showers by evening.

The wet weather is likely to continue through Sunday.

Cooler temperatures are expected with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s.

7 mutts become world’s first test-tube puppies Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A team of veterinarians, scientists and lab workers gathered around a surrogate hound and watched her give birth to seven half-pound puppies, the first dogs ever conceived in a test tube.

“We each took a puppy and rubbed it with a little towel and when it started to squiggle and cry, we knew we had success,” said Dr. Alexander Travis, who runs the lab at the Baker Institute for Animal Health at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York.

“Their eyes were closed.

They were just adorable,

These puppies, seen here Sept. 29, were born by in vitro fertilization at the Baker Institute for Animal Health in Ithaca, New York.

cute, with smooshed-in faces. We checked them to make sure they looked normal and were all

breathing,” he said.

The puppies born July 10 are a mix of beagle, Labrador and cocker spaniel and

are now healthy 5-montholds, Travis said. All but one female were adopted.

She’s being kept by the lab to have her own litter.

The lab kept track of the puppies by painting their nails with different color polish. Travis adopted two, still known by their nail polish names, Red and Green.

In vitro fertilization, the process of fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, is widely used to assist human reproduction these days. The first human birth from IVF took place in 1978.

But IVF efforts with dogs repeatedly failed until now, according to Dr. Pierre Comizzoli, a reproductive

ASPEN, Colo. — For years, Michael Engfors built the wood trim, doors and shelves in the mansions in this exclusive resort town before losing work during the recession and eventually becoming homeless about five years ago. But his luck changed last week when he took $10 that he earned working odd jobs to buy a scratch ticket and hit

the $500,000 jackpot.

Vince Savage, who runs the Aspen Homeless Shelter where Engfors had been staying, said he drove the 61-year-old to a Colorado Lottery claims office in Grand Junction on Monday and he walked out with a check for somewhere between $300,000 and $400,000 after taxes.

He said they drove right to Engfors’ bank to deposit the winnings in a checking

account that had less than a dollar in it.

“This is a guy who has been at it for years and struggling for years,” Savage said.

Even though the shelter promoted news of Engfors’ win — which was confirmed by the Colorado Lottery — Savage said Engfors decided he did not want to talk about it or become a celebrity over it.

Lottery spokeswoman

Brooke Christopher said Engfors’ scratch ticket was the last of three Eternal Splendor scratch tickets worth $500,000 to be sold in the state. Engfors had a one-in-840,000 chance of winning.

Engfors couldn’t be located Wednesday. Savage said he hoped to travel to New York to reunite with his adult daughter whom he hasn’t seen in at least 15 years.

Come, listen to our angels sing

in Klondike’s surrogate mother.

Comizzoli described the birth of the seven puppies “as a huge breakthrough.”

A paper describing the Cornell litter as “the first live births from in vitro fertilized embryos in the dog” appeared Tuesday in the PLOS ONE journal.

The lead author, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute doctoral fellow Jennifer Nagashima, said IVF technology in dogs could prove useful in everything from conserving endangered species to removing “deleterious traits from breeds,” with research potentially applicable to “models for human disease” as well.

“The biology of the dog is really, really different than humans,” Comizzoli said.

Dog pregnancies last only two months and females go into heat just once or twice a year, releasing immature eggs instead of mature eggs needed for IVF. An earlier experiment at Cornell helped pave the way. In 2013 at Cornell, Klondike became the first puppy born from a frozen embryo. Klondike’s beagle mother was fertilized using artificial insemination. Her embryos were collected, frozen and implanted

FBI: California shooters radicalized at least 2 years ago

By Eric Tucker and Asif Shahzad Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The two San Bernardino shooters were radicalized at least two years ago — well before one of them came to the U.S. on a fiancée visa — and had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013, FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday in providing the most specific details to date about the couple’s path toward extremism.

Investigators now believe that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, embraced radical Islamic ideology even before they had begun their online relationship and that Malik held extremist views before she arrived in the U.S. last year.

Though the FBI believes the pair was inspired in part by Islamic State ideology — Malik pledged allegiance to the group’s leader in a Facebook post around the time of last week’s massacre — agents are still looking for other motivations and sources of radicalization, especially because the couple’s interest in extremism predates the terror group’s emergence as a household name, Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“ISIL inspiration may

well have been part of this, but these two killers were staring to radicalize towards martyrdom and jihad as early as 2013,” said the FBI director, using an acronym for the Islamic State. “And so that’s really before ISIL became the global jihad leader that it is.”

The latest disclosure also suggests that the government’s vetting process failed to detect Malik’s radicalization when she applied for the visa, though Comey said he didn’t know enough to say whether weaknesses in the visa process enabled her to enter the U.S. “After this hearing today, every American will be asking the question, how did this woman come in on a fiancée visa?” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat and member of the committee.

Malik came to the United States in July 2014 from Pakistan after being approved for a K-1, or fiancée visa, and married Farook the following month. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has said the Obama administration is now reviewing the program. He did not say what changes were being considered.

Malik’s father, reached in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, condemned his daughter’s actions and said he is “very,

FBI Director James Comey testifies Wednesday on Capitol Hill before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Comey said the two San Bernardino, California, shooters had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013.

very sad... I am in such pain that I cannot even describe it.”

The father, Gulzar Ahmed Malik, has been a resident in the kingdom since the early 1980s, the Saudi Interior Ministry says.

His daughter was from Pakistan but traveled to Saudi Arabia. A former classmate, Afsheen Butt, said Malik showed drastic changes after a trip to Saudi Arabia in late 2008 or early 2009.

Comey described the couple as an example of homegrown violent extremists who appear to have radicalized “in place,”

drawing a distinction between the San Bernardino attack and the one last month in Paris that officials suspect involved planning and training in Syria.

The FBI has revealed little else of what it’s learned about Farook and Malik and their planning, except for details about the weaponry they had, materials they had to make more pipe bombs and that both had been taking target practice.

A U.S. official said Tuesday authorities are looking into a deposit made to Farook’s bank account before the attack. The official, who had been briefed

on the investigation but was not authorized to discuss it by name and spoke on condition of anonymity, would not characterize further the nature of the deposit or why it had caught the attention of investigators. A second official confirmed that the deposit was for $28,500.

Though Comey declined to answer questions about whether encrypted communication had been used before the attack, he did use the appearance to reiterate his longstanding concerns that criminals, terrorists and spies can use encryption applications

on their smartphones to evade detection from law enforcement.

“Increasingly, we are unable to see what they say, which gives them a tremendous advantage,” he said.

He said one of the gunmen in last May’s shooting outside a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas had exchanged more than 100 messages with an overseas suspected terrorist prior to the attack that investigators still had been unable to access.

Investigators were concerned that the location might be targeted, and ensured that law enforcement officers were ready.

The two gunmen were shot dead by police.

“We have no idea what he said because those messages were encrypted,” Comey said. “And to this day, I can’t tell you what he said with that terrorist 109 times the morning of that attack. That is a big problem.

We have to grapple with it.”

America’s counterterrorism infrastructure has had success flagging individuals who try to travel abroad to fight alongside militants, fund operations overseas or who communicate online with overseas terrorists.

But it’s been far more challenging for law enforcement to identify each individual who selfradicalizes online.

Scientists say happiness won’t extend your life after all Happy people live longer, a relationship that’s been documented in a variety of research studies.

But a new paper published in the medical journal Lancet comes to the sad conclusion that happiness isn’t responsible

“We can accept this award on behalf of our communities coming together. The partnership has always been needed.”

for this observed longevity. Instead, the things that make people happy, particularly their good health, are the same things that shield them from premature death.

“Happiness and related measures of well-being do not appear to have any direct effect on mortality,” the study authors wrote.

To get to the bottom of the relationship between happiness and a long life, researchers led by Dr. Bette Liu, an epidemiologist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, examined data on 719,671 people who participated in the Million Women Study.

All of the women joined the

study from 1996 to 2001.

Three years after signing up, researchers asked them how often they felt happy. The 39 percent who answered “most of the time” and the 44 percent who answered “usually” were classified as happy people.

The other 17 percent, who said they were “sometimes”

or “rarely/never” happy, were deemed unhappy.

At the same time, the women were also asked to rate their health status as “excellent,” “good,” “fair” or “poor.” Then researchers kept track of them for nearly 10 years, on average.

During that time, 31,531 (or 4 percent) of them died.

In their first pass at the numbers that adjusted for age, the researchers found that women who said they were unhappy were 29 percent more likely to have died compared with their counterparts who were happy.

But the women who were unhappy were also more likely to be in poor health.

Recovery Committee that still meets regularly.

That committee, which met Wednesday at the Hibulb Cultural Center, brings together school officials, tribal leaders, state lawmakers and others working to build a safe, healthy and unified community.

“It’s just what you do — respond to what happens in our community,” Mizell said.

Schoenfeldt, unlike Lubbers and Mizell, has spent much of her career working in school crisis response. The Marysville woman’s work has taken

her to Colorado’s Columbine High School, where two shooters killed 13 people in 1999, and to Newtown, Connecticut, where in 2012 a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

On the day of the Marysville Pilchuck shooting, when Gia Soriano, Zoe Galasso, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Andrew Fryberg were killed and Nate Hatch was injured, Schoenfeldt was working as a duty officer for Everett’s Department of Emergency Management. Schoenfeldt left that job, and with federal grant money was hired to help direct recovery efforts in the

Marysville School District.

She is now retired.

“When something like this happens, the community has to take the lead,” Schoenfeldt said. “Part of what it means is making sure those in the community are supported but not overwhelmed with outside expertise.” It was critical, she said, to deal with what mattered most.

Schoenfeldt said they were helped by the University of Washington, Edmonds Community College and Everett Community College loaning emergency staff to Marysville. That helped the school district focus on students and staff.

Schoenfeldt said it was important to invite students and parents back to Marysville Pilchuck, although school was closed, just days after the tragedy. Experts came together to make that happen, she said.

Mizell remembers the questions asked at the first big recovery meeting: “What do you have? And what do you need?” Grove Church and other faith groups, the Living Room coffee shop, Victim Support Services, Volunteers of America, the Red Cross and YMCA made spaces and mental health programs available to kids.

Suicide prevention was

a big part of the effort.

“The act itself was a homicide, but also a suicide,” Schoenfeldt said. “Within a very few hours, the city of Marysville was already reaching out to bring suicide prevention and awareness training into the city.”

Schoenfeldt said the united front presented by top leaders of the Tulalip Tribes, the school district and the city has been notable. She believes that unity eased “racial and other tensions that may have been very close to the surface.”

“There wasn’t the blaming, there wasn’t the finger-pointing. We are all so horrified — we lost our kids,” she said.

That unity was demonstrated on the first anniversary of the tragedy, when a “Walk of Strength” was held at the school. A Marysville/Tulalip United website, www.mtunited. org, continues to spread the word about healing resources and events.

“I know our work is not over,” Lubbers said. “We will be building mental wellness and whole-family health for years to come.

There is no ending.”

2015 AMERICAN RED CROSS HEROES

There in danger and in tragedy Courage, selfless acts and service to community were to be recognized. Story by Julie Muhlstein, Herald Writer Megan Lucas and Tracy Franke: Commitment to community

Kaiden Porter-Foy: Fire rescue

Christine Walker: CPR rescue

NORTHWEST VIDEO EDGE

IAN TERRY / HERALD FILE

Kaiden Porter-Foy, 17, rescued his neighbor from a burning mobile home.

A 17-year-old Lake Stevens High School student didn’t hesitate to run toward danger to save a woman from a fire last summer. It was late Aug. 7, or very early Aug. 8, when Kaiden Porter-Foy heard popping sounds. Looking outside, he saw that his neighbor’s mobile home was glowing. He woke his grandparents, dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt and boots, then ran toward the blaze.

In a Herald story, the teen described looking through his neighbor’s window and seeing the woman. She was holding a gas can. After kicking down the back door, he grabbed the can and threw it. It exploded. He fought to carry the 54-year-old woman — against her will — out of the mobile home. He took her to the Lake Stevens

home where he lives with his grandparents, then returned to the burning structure. As fire engulfed the place, he couldn’t re-enter to make sure no one else was inside.

“He doesn’t talk about it too much. He has nightmares that he gets in and can’t get out,” said Melody Mulneaux-Thomas, Kaiden’s grandmother and guardian. She said that Kaiden’s mother, Leslie Foy, will be at the breakfast to see him honored.

“He’s been recognized throughout his whole life for little acts of kindness,” Mulneaux-Thomas said.

“Sometimes people kind of panic and stand back. He’s quick-thinking and quickacting — not that I want him running into burning buildings.”

Darrington Elementary School Principal Tracy Franke (left) and counselor Megan Lucas helped children cope with the trauma of the Oso mudslide.

Christine Walker performed CPR on her stricken father-in-law.

Megan Lucas, now a counselor at Darrington Elementary School, helped first responders with bereavement after the Oso landslide in 2014. Then working for Providence Hospice and Home Care of Snohomish County, she was contacted

by Darrington Elementary School Principal Tracy Franke. The principal was seeking classroom support and a way for students to express their feelings related to the tragedy that claimed 43 lives.

After that initial work, Lucas was hired to stay on at the school with funds provided by the American Red Cross, the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation, United Way of Snohomish County and North Counties Family Services.

Mike Walker was about to leave his Lake Stevens home for a Labor Day camping trip when he suffered a cardiac event. The plan, on Aug. 28, 2014, was for Walker to go alone to the camping spot for a little quiet time. Son Ron, daughter-in-law Christine and 2-year-old grandson Scott were to join him later. They live with Walker.

“I had stayed home from work that Thursday. My son was sick,” Christine Walker said. Her father-in-law had come downstairs to see how Scott was feeling. Christine briefly left the room.

“When I came back, my father-in-law wasn’t breathing,” she said. “I knew something was wrong. I picked up my son, ran him to his room, put him in his crib and said, ‘I love you.’ I called 911 on my

Art with Heart to reach every student in the classroom setting. It’s a counseling curriculum,” Franke said. Lucas and Franke said many Darrington students had been touched by complex trauma — related to poverty, divorce, substance abuse in families and other issues — in addition to the slide.

Art with Heart, Lucas said, has been a way “for teachers to get to know what our students are dealing with on a daily basis.” Art with Heart books have given children a place to put their feelings, and the program has helped them see they aren’t alone, the counselor said. Lucas said Darrington’s students, school staff and the whole community “are still dealing with the repercussions of this major tragedy.”

It was Jan. 20, no day for swimming at Lake Ki. Larry Jackson set out in a 12-foot aluminum boat to look for a missing dock. When he stood up in the boat to move seats, the 68-year-old soon knew he was in trouble.

“The front end went straight up and the corner went down in the water, and that was the point of no return,” Jackson told The Herald last January. About 100 feet from shore, he was clinging to the capsized boat when he was spotted by his neighbor, Matt Keller, an Everett Fire Department battalion chief.

Keller trains in water rescues.

But in January at his Lake Ki home, the only life-saving vessel that was handy was a wooden kayak. Keller grabbed life jackets, a rope and a paddle, and rushed to the struggling man. He threw Jackson a life jacket and rope, then paddled to shore. Jackson was so chilled, he couldn’t pull himself up the ladder onto his dock. Keller pulled him up and helped Jackson get to his house — and into a warm shower — while Jackson’s wife, Sheryl, made a hot drink.

A day after the rescue, the Jacksons brought Keller homemade cookies and a thank you note that called the firefighter “my true guardian angel.”

“We had tied a handkerchief, a tourniquet, around her leg,” he said. Worried that the victim was falling asleep, he said, “I kept her alert until the ambulance got there.”

The Rev. Scott Postlewait said his wife was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She has had 11 surgeries since her femoral artery was severed, and her femur, tibia and fibula were crushed in the accident. “She is lucky to be alive,” said Scott Postlewait, adding that their church community has been wonderfully supportive.

Reporting her fear that her father-in-law had suffered a heart attack, she was told to get him on the floor and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She had been trained in CPR but wasn’t sure of current practices. The dispatcher told her to do chest compressions.

“She made me count out loud the whole time,” Christine Walker said.

Today, 60-year-old Mike Walker said he is “doing really well.” He had heart bypass surgery in 1999. He works at the Monroe Correctional Complex.

He is so grateful for Christine’s lifesaving actions, he nominated her for a Heroes award.

“I could have been up there camping, with nobody to help,” he said.

Toby Albright rendered life-saving first aid at the scene of an accident.

Mill Creek’s Toby Albright was headed to a Seahawks game about a year ago when he saw trouble at an intersection. Traffic was backed up and debris was in the road along 132nd Street SE, near Penny Creek Elementary School.

“Something told me to pull over,” said Albright, a 41-yearold longshoreman who works at the Port of Seattle. A woman riding a Sym motor scooter had been struck by an older Suburban SUV. She was on the ground. “I could see her leg was bad,” said Albright, describing how he saw blood and bone.

Katie Postlewait, now 51, had just left the nearby Advent Lutheran Church, where her husband is pastor. Albright said another woman stopped, and he asked her to call 911 and describe the serious injury.

Jose and Chelsea Ramos stopped by the side of the road to help a cold and confused older woman — and later checked on her at her home, where she had collapsed.

Jose and Chelsea Ramos, who live in the Smokey Point area, were driving on Highway 9 near Bryant one Saturday last winter. With their five children, they were looking for a house to rent. Jose Ramos saw a car in the ditch. When he passed it, he noticed something red — someone was trying to get out of the car. They turned back and found Motoko “Kitty” Johnson, who is in her 80s. She didn’t appear hurt but was wet, cold, confused and needing help.

The couple called a tow truck and police. Johnson didn’t want to go to a hospital.

After warming her in their car and trying to find a rental car for her, they ended up taking

Johnson to her rural Arlington home.

After church the next day, they decided to go check on Johnson. No one answered her door, so they called for help. A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy entered her home and found her unresponsive on the floor, Jose Ramos said. At Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, it was found that she had suffered a brain bleed, a type of stroke.

Nancy Cox, Johnson’s longtime neighbor, said her friend is now staying at a care facility in Snohomish and has largely recovered. “They saved her life, the Ramoses. They were good Samaritans,” Cox said.

Chicago’s mayor apologizes

But speech about shooting death of black teen fails to appease protesters

By Sara Burnett

Va.: School to allow guns PAUL BEATY / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel speaks during a special City Council meeting Wednesday. Emanuel apologized for the 2014 shooting of a black teenager and promised “complete and total” police reform.

Protester Lamon Reccord is taken into custody by police officers during the march calling for Emanuel and Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to resign. Reccord was later released on the scene after protesters blocked the vehicle where he was being held.

Emanuel has scrambled to contain the crisis. He fired his police superintendent after days of insisting the chief had his support. He reversed course on whether the Justice Department should launch a civil-rights investigation, saying he would welcome it only after presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and other top

Democrats endorsed the idea.

In news conferences, he has appeared worn down, fumbling answers to reporters’ questions or avoiding them entirely by walking away, with cameras rolling.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him grapple with anything quite like this,” said longtime ally and adviser David Axelrod,

who also served with Emanuel in the Obama White House.

Emanuel has repeatedly said he will not step down, and the next election — should he seek another term — isn’t until 2019.

Chicago has no statute or process in place for a mayor to be recalled, and most of the cries for Emanuel to resign have come from grassroots activists and residents, not from the city’s political powerbrokers.

The most likely impact will come in the form of pushback from aldermen, who have long been considered a rubber stamp for the mayor’s initiatives, said political consultant Delmarie Cobb. She said the black community “has been awakened,” and Emanuel can expect a tougher re-election if he tries again.

“He definitely won’t run unopposed, and it will be a viable candidate,” said Cobb.

The mayor won re-election in April by a healthy margin, but only after suffering the embarrassment of not getting a majority in a five-candidate February election, forcing the first mayoral runoff in decades.

In the months that followed, his public schools CEO, who oversaw closings of about 50 schools that angered many residents, was indicted on corruption charges. Emanuel also pushed through the largest tax increase in city history to deal with a budget crisis.

His administration has warned of massive mid-year layoffs in the public schools, and is in the midst of rocky contract negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union.

Officer takes stand at Freddie Gray trial

By Juliet Linderman and David Dishneau Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Officer William Porter was poised and calm as he testified in his own defense Wednesday, telling jurors that he didn’t call an ambulance for Freddie Gray because Gray was alert, appeared uninjured and didn’t complain of pain or wounds in the back of a police van.

Instead, Gray only said “yes” when Porter offered to get him medical aid, the officer testified. Porter said he suggested to the van driver, Officer Caesar Goodson, that Goodson take Gray to the hospital because he knew a prisoner claiming injury would be turned away from jail.

But “I can’t tell Officer Goodson what to do,” Porter said when asked why he didn’t do more to ensure that Gray went to the hospital immediately.

Porter, who was driving a patrol car, responded to calls for assistance at some of the van stops. Porter said that during the fourth stop, he went inside the back of the van and

Carter: U.S. to do more to help Iraqis WASHINGTON — In a steady escalation of the fight against Islamic State militants, the U.S. military stands ready to send more personnel and helicopters to Iraq, especially to help retake a key city seized by the extremists, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Wednesday.

In recent days, Iraqi forces advanced on Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar province, retaking a military operations center and a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. “The United States is prepared to assist the Iraqi army with additional unique capabilities to help them finish the job, including attack helicopters and accompanying advisers” if circumstances dictate the extra assistance, and if requested by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Associated Press

CHICAGO — Mayor Rahm Emanuel, known for keeping vise-like control over Chicago and his own political image, finds himself in the weakest position of his long public career as he struggles to respond to a police scandal, claims of cover-ups at City Hall and calls for his resignation.

The former White House chief of staff Wednesday used a special meeting of the Chicago City Council to try to calm the firestorm, apologizing for the fatal shooting of a black teen by a white officer and promising “complete and total” reform.

“I take responsibility for what happened because it happened on my watch. And if we’re going to fix it, I want you to understand it’s my responsibility with you,” Emanuel said during a sometimes-emotional speech that lasted nearly 45 minutes. “But if we’re also going to begin the healing process, the first step in that journey is my step.

“And I’m sorry.”

The remarks were Emanuel’s lengthiest and seemingly most heartfelt since the public got its first look last month at the squad car video that showed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald veering away from officer Jason Van Dyke before he began shooting, hitting McDonald 16 times. Van Dyke is charged with first-degree murder.

Critics have repeatedly accused him of keeping the footage under wraps until after he won a tougher-thanexpected spring election for a second term. Emanuel has denied the claim and acknowledged Wednesday that he should have pressed for prosecutors to wrap up their investigation more quickly so the video could be made public.

But his contrition did little to ease the anger in the streets. Hours after the speech, protesters overflowed an intersection in front of City Hall, then marched through the financial district and blocked a major intersection for a short time as police directed traffic around them. Officers guarded the doors to the Chicago Board of Trade as demonstrators approached.

Outside City Hall, retired schoolteacher Audrey Davis carried a sign reading, “Mayor Emanuel is morally corrupt!”

Calling the speech “politically expedient,” Davis, who is black, said, “I don’t want to hear anything from him except, ‘I tender my resignation.”’

Since the video emerged,

ACROSS THE U.S.

helped Gray, who was handcuffed and shackled, from the floor onto the bench. Porter said Gray able to support himself with his legs.

The fourth stop is crucial in Porter’s case because prosecutors say Gray was already injured by the time he arrived there, and that Porter’s failure to call a medic contributed to Gray’s death. Defense attorneys say Gray was injured later in the ride.

“Freddie Gray wasn’t injured at stop four or five, it’s that simple,” Porter said. “Had he been injured, I would have called a medic.”

Prosecutors also say that by not buckling Gray into a seat belt during that stop, Porter was criminally negligent. The department requires detainees to be buckled up and the policy was updated just days before Gray’s arrest.

Porter told the jury that the wagon is “pretty tight” and said that of his 200 arrests involving the transport van, he has never belted in a prisoner.

Porter added that it would have been Goodson’s responsibility to buckle Gray into

a seatbelt.

Goodson faces the most serious charge stemming from Gray’s death: second-degree “depraved-heart” murder. His trial is next month.

Porter, the first of six officers to go on trial, said he only realized Gray was hurt when the van reached the police station.

Porter said Gray was unresponsive “with mucus around his nose and mouth.”

He called Gray’s name — which elicited responses at previous stops — but this time Gray was silent. Porter told jurors the experience was “a very traumatic thing for me.”

Porter faces manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges. If convicted on all of the charges, the maximum penalty he faces is about 25 years.

Porter said that during the fourth stop, Gray made eye contact with him and spoke “in a regular tone of voice.”

“He never made a complaint of pain or an injury,” Porter said. “In order to call for an ambo I need age, sex, location and complaint of injury. He

wouldn’t give me a complaint of injury.”

Gray was a 25-year-old black man who died a week after suffering a spinal injury at some point during a 45-minute ride in the back of the van. His death set off protests and a riot in the city.

Porter, who also is black, told jurors that when Gray was arrested, he overheard him screaming and mentioning something about needing an inhaler. When asked if Gray said he couldn’t breathe at the van’s fourth stop, Porter said, “absolutely not.”

A police investigator previously testified that Porter told her that Gray said he couldn’t breathe during the van ride.

But Porter testified Wednesday that the investigator was mistaken, and that he only heard Gray say that when he was arrested, not when he was in the van.

Porter was followed on the stand by Officer Zachary Novak, who was present during Gray’s arrest and when the wagon arrived at the police station. Novak was the one who called an ambulance.

Liberty University will soon allow students to bring firearms into residence halls, the school’s president said Wednesday in what he described as a measure to increase campus safety.

President Jerry Falwell Jr. made the announcement before several thousand students at the evangelical Christian school, drawing heavy applause. On Friday, Falwell had urged eligible students to get training from school authorities to enable them to obtain a permit to carry concealed weapons. He said that if more people carry concealed weapons at Liberty, it would help the school deter attacks such as the recent mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, that left 14 people dead. As he spoke, Falwell was carrying a small pistol in his back pocket, which he later showed to a reporter.

Ariz.: Fast and Furious trial Two men convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of a Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry whose 2010 death brought to light a bungled federal guntracking operation known as Fast and Furious were sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in Tucson. Jesus Leonel Sanchez-Meza and Ivan Soto-Barraza were part of a crew planning to rob marijuana smugglers in the Arizona desert when they encountered border agents and got into a shootout. Their attorneys say they were not the shooters and acted in self-defense.

Colo.: Planned Parenthood The man accused of killing three people at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic stunned a courtroom Wednesday when he declared himself a “warrior for the babies” and said he was guilty and won’t go to trial. Robert Lewis Dear, 57, made the outburst before he was formally charged with 179 counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and other crimes in the Nov. 27 attack.

The judge raised doubts about whether Dear is competent to stand trial, saying defense attorneys wanted investigators to turn over evidence as soon as possible so they could assess the “depth of his mental illness.” Police have refused to discuss a potential motive.

AROUND THE WORLD Syria: Homs evacuated Hundreds of rebels and their families on Wednesday left the last oppositionheld neighborhood of Homs as part of a truce that will bolster government control of the city, while opposition groups met in Saudi Arabia to forge a united front ahead of proposed peace talks.

The international community is making its most serious push yet for a cease-fire and negotiations to end Syria’s nearly 5-year-old conflict. U.N. and U.S. officials hope the deal that led to the rebels’ evacuation can be replicated elsewhere to create pockets of peace and a climate conducive to negotiations.

Saudi Arabia: Women vote Saturday’s vote for local council seats marks two milestones for Saudi women: Not only can they run in a government election for the first time, it is the first time they are permitted to vote at all.

The municipal councils are the only government body in which Saudi citizens can elect representatives, so the vote is widely seen as a small but significant opening for women in Saudi society. But because of Saudi Arabia’s policy of segregation of the sexes, they cannot address male voters directly and have to speak from behind a partition — or have male relatives speak for them.

Everett Clinic plans expansion New medical facilities set for Shoreline, Lynnwood and south Everett

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

The Everett Clinic has signed a lease to open a new 40,000-square-foot clinic in Shoreline and also is planning new clinics in Lynnwood and south Everett within two years.

The health care provider expects to start treating people in September in the Shoreline Marketplace at 1201 N. 175th

St. across from Shoreline City Hall. It’s the same building where Trader Joe’s is opening in February.

Over the next several years, The Everett Clinic could add as many as five more clinics and already is looking at areas as far south as Fremont and Ballard in Seattle to Kirkland and north Bellevue on the east side.

“We felt we needed over the next five years to at least double

in size and at least have a market presence in north King County on both sides of the north end of Lake Washington,” said Jeff Bissey, The Everett Clinic’s chief operating officer.

When it opens next year, the Shoreline clinic will provide primary care, a walk-in clinic and some medical specialties.

In the future, the clinic is expected to house up to 50 providers.

Services are expected to include family and internal medicine and pediatrics as well as urgent care and medical specialties in behavioral health, allergy, optometry/optical, physical therapy, pulmonary, occupational medicine and OB/GYN. The city of Shoreline learned recently about the expansion plans, said Shoreline Mayor See CLINIC, Page A14

‘Boy General’ rules It’s North Korea’s hottest new cellphone game

By Eric Talmadge Associated Press

PYONGYANG, North Korea — Millions of North Koreans are now using mobile phones, and not just to make phone calls.

The Associated Press recently got a sneak peek at “Boy General,” the North’s hottest new game release, a spinoff of a new TV animation series that is both beautifully produced and genuinely fun to watch — suggesting Pyongyang is trying to win back an audience drawn to the banned Chinese and South Korean dramas that flow across its borders.

The app became an immediate hit after its September release, particularly in Pyongyang, where there are more mobile phones

and a population that generally has more money and time to spend on leisure activities. The even more popular televised animation series returned to the airwaves in August and runs on Sunday evenings.

In the game, players are prompted to go on missions to defeat the enemies of the young general Swoeme, which means “Iron Hammer,” a brave warriorcommander of the Koguryo kingdom that lasted for about 700 years and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula and the heart of Manchuria until its downfall in AD 668.

The concept and design of “Boy General” are simple, and its map-like scenery is reminiscent of the “Minecraft” game. Since there is nothing like the App

Store in North Korea, the most common way of getting the game appears to be sharing it over Bluetooth.

Games are not new to North Korean mobile phone users.

Not long after the use of mobile phones was opened up in 2009, some handsets came pre-installed with games such as “Tetris” or janggi, a chess-like game that is popular across East Asia. As phones and tablets have become more sophisticated, so have the games available for North Koreans to enjoy.

With its state-of-the-art animation values, often beautiful artistry and entertaining characters and plot developments, the TV show has been a breath of See GAMES, Page A14

WASHINGTON — The majority of U.S. renters are now older than 40, a fundamental shift over the past decade that reflects the lasting damage of the housing crash and an aging population.

Yahoo going back to the drawing board SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo’s long-running identity crisis is spiraling in a new direction now that the company is abandoning a year’s work on a tax-dodging spinoff to pursue an alternative path that will carve off its Internet business instead.

The about-face announced Wednesday opens another chapter in the dysfunctional drama that has been swirling around Yahoo for most of the past decade.

Yahoo has scrapped plans to spin off the Alibaba stake into a separate holding company and said that it will instead try to break off everything but the Alibaba holdings into another company. That process could be even more complicated than the original spinoff and take more than a year before Yahoo shareholders get stock in a newly formed company that has yet to be named.

Says joint effort with Lockheed Martin made ‘troubling claims’ when it quit satellite competition.

Sen. John McCain blasted the company that lifts national security satellites to space, saying it has made “troubling and specious claims” about its sudden inability to participate in a recent competition to launch an Air Force satellite.

In a letter sent to defense Secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday, McCain, R-Ariz., once again took aim at the United Launch Alliance, the joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, which for a decade held a monopoly on Pentagon and intelligence community launches.

Last month, ULA announced that it could not bid on the upcoming contract — the first time it would have faced competition — for a variety of reasons. That means that SpaceX, the only other company certified by the Pentagon to launch payloads for national security agencies, would walk away with the lucrative contract.

One of the reasons that ULA said prevented it from bidding on the contract was a congressionally mandated limit on the Russian-made engine that powers its Atlas V rocket.

Congress imposed the limit in response to the escalating

flocking to hip urban centers. Single-family houses are a growing share of rentals. And affordability problems are mounting as rents rise faster than wages, while apartment construction increasingly targets tenants with six-figure incomes.

Nearly 51 percent of renters have celebrated their 40th birthday, according to the report’s analysis of Census Bureau data.

That amounts to 22.4 million households.

A decade ago when the

housing bubble peaked in 2005, 47 percent of renters — or 16.4 million households — were older than 40. Their share was 43 percent in 1995.

The increase in older renters corresponds with a surge in foreclosures after the housing bubble popped. Since the 2008 financial triggered by the housing bust, there have been roughly 6 million completed foreclosures, according to CoreLogic, a property data firm.

STOCK MARKET SUMMARY

: A slump in technology shares Wednesday helped turn early gains in U.S. stocks into losses across a number of industries.

Seven of the 10 sectors in the Standard and Poor's 500 index fell. Suppliers of raw materials, the focus of aggressive selling in recent days, rose 3.1 percent.

the official line that the nation must remain united against the constant threat of foreign invaders.

Koguryo, which like today’s North Korea had its capital in Pyongyang, was overthrown by an alliance between the Chinese Tang Dynasty and the southern Korean kingdom of Silla. The dastardly and yet often comical villain is Hobi, a snaggle-toothed, pig-nosed Chinese spy who tried to assassinate Swoeme before he rose to the ranks as general.

But the real appeal of the game — and many others now available in North Korea — appears to be that it’s just fun to play.

Another new or perhaps updated game that came out this summer is called “Tank Battle,” a shoot ‘em up in which the goal is to destroy as many enemy tanks as possible.

The nationality of the enemy tanks is not specified.

For those of a more nurturing nature, there is a virtual pet game, which explains why from time to time faint meows can be heard near gatherings of young North Koreans.

A game that looks a lot like “Angry Birds” is still popular, along with a “Bubble-Popping” game and for the very young, “Baby Piano.”

need for relief from the restrictions and “subvert the authorization process.”

A spokesperson for ULA declined to comment Wednesday.

For years, ULA had a monopoly on the launches, a lucrative and steady source of revenue for two of the biggest defense contractors in the world. Then SpaceX came along, and the hard-charging company founded by tech billionaire Elon Musk said it could provide the launches for far less.

Musk eventually sued the Air Force, saying that SpaceX should be allowed to compete for the business.

Ultimately, the parties settled, and the Air Force certified the company’s Falcon 9 rocket for the launches. The Air Force contract would have been the first time that SpaceX

would have challenged ULA. In a statement last month, ULA said “it wants nothing more to compete,” but was prevented from doing so because of the lack of engines, and because it could not comply with the accounting structures required under the contract.

It also said that the Air Force used a procurement process that would give a lot of weight to the prices companies bid — and not their experience and past performance, which could have given ULA an edge.

But McCain said the assertion that it’s a “low-price” contract “is erroneous.”

Rather, the contract is a “best value” source selection that calls for “a careful evaluation of performance, launch operations,

schedule and price,” he wrote.

ULA has said it remains hopeful that Congress would eventually loosen the restrictions on the RD-180 engine. And Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., has said he is considering proposing language that would do just that.

After Shelby’s announcement, McCain fired off a letter last month to Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., the Appropriations Committee chairman, that such a move “would undermine sanctions on Russian rocket engines.” “Recent attempts by the incumbent contractor to manufacture a crisis by prematurely diminishing its stockpile of engines purchased prior to the Russian invasion of Crimea should be viewed with skepticism and scrutinized heavily,” he wrote.

9 million renters — including younger millennials recent out of college.

But demand has outpaced supply and caused prices to rise. Rents increased 7 percent between 2001 and 2014 after adjusting for inflation, while incomes fell 9 percent, the report said.

The result is that a larger number of Americans must devote more than 30 percent of their income to rent, a level that the government considers to be financially burdensome. Over the past decade, that number has jumped from 14.8 million to 21.3 million, or 49 percent of all renters.

Construction has done little to ease the problem.

Permitting for multifamily construction has increased 17 percent this year.

But the median rent on a newly built apartment was $1,372 a month in 2014, about $500 more a month than what about half of renters could afford

“We’re very excited to have The Everett Clinic for both of those reasons,” Winstead said. “It’s going to provide great services to our residents and also bring some good jobs to the area.”

Two other clinics are the horizon for The Everett Clinic.

In south Everett, the health care provider is looking to lease a 40,000to 50,000-square-foot building on Evergreen Way about three miles south of its current location to build a primary clinic, Bissey said. That clinic is scheduled to open in March 2017.

Then, the health care provider will backfill clinic space at its current location with specialists, he said.

And earlier this year, The Everett Clinic purchased the former Emery’s Gardens site at the northwest corner of 164th Street SW and 28th Avenue W in Lynnwood.

It plans to build a 60,000- to 80,000-squarefoot clinic similar to its Smokey Point Medical Center, which opened in 2012 in Marysville.

Groundbreaking in Lynnwood is expected to begin next summer with the new clinic scheduled to open in September 2017.

based on The Everett Clinic’s Smokey Point Medical Center, which has attracted interest from international medical groups and has earned honors for outstanding healthcare facilities design.

About 100,000 patients visit Smokey Point each year. It offers 20 medical specialties as well as primary care, a walk-in clinic, and lab, vision and radiology services.

In September, the clinic added 23 exam rooms and space for 12 new providers at Smokey Point.

This gives it room for an additional 50,000 patient visits per year.

The majority of the new clinics will be filled with doctors and nurses new to The Everett Clinic although some staff will be moved within the system, Bissey said. To meet the staffing needs, the healthcare provider has hired 142 people this year, Bissey said.

“We recognize there are a lot of health care organizations in the Puget Sound region,” Bissey said. “But there is a lot of demand and there are a lot of areas where access to excellent primary care and excellent specialty care is really challenging.

Our goal is to try meet that need.”

In September, The Everett Clinic announced plans to merge with DaVita HealthCare Partners. The merger is pending approval from Everett Clinic shareholders. That vote is scheduled for Dec. 20.

Light rail must reach our jobs the voters next fall, Sound Transit’s board must settle on a list of projects that puts that considerable sum to its best use: moving as many people as possible among homes, jobs, school and other daily destinations.

Everett’s link to Link has to be a priority. More specifically, the northernmost section of a regional light rail system must do more than reach the transit hub at Everett Station; its route must take a jog west from the I-5 corridor to serve the manufacturing center that includes Paine Field, Boeing and a host of other employers large and small.

Economic Alliance Snohomish County, which is working with other city and county public officials on the Everett options, created what it called a “job density heat map,”showing the concentration of jobs between Lynnwood and Everett. The largest, hottest zone is the Paine Field region, the largest manufacturing center in the state.

The cost for the 15-mile route that includes Paine Field is estimated between

$4.5 billion and $5 billion, the most expensive of the projects under consideration. An alternative route to Everett Station, more closely following I-5 but bypassing the jobs at Paine Field as well as several densely populated residential areas, is less expensive at about $3 billion.

But a less expensive option that doesn’t serve major job or population centers and carries fewer riders is no bargain.

Among the other projects under consideration are light rail extensions to West Seattle, Ballard and Issaquah, but each are essentially spurs to the main north-south spine that should be ST3’s priority.

And none of the spurs show a potential for serving as many as the 58,000 daily riders expected for the Paine Field route. West Seattle would serve an estimated maximum of 50,000 riders; Ballard about 54,000 and Issaquah, 15,000.

Earlier, Snohomish County leaders conceded that extending light rail to the growing campus at Everett Community College and WSU’s University Center, while desirable, would have added too great a cost

global warming models are wrong, throw the dice and hope for the best.

To replace fossil fuels with renewables has, up to now, been ineffective. According to the latest statistics; when the global warming panic began a few decades ago, the ratio of fossil energy to other energy (atomic, hydro, etc.) was 87 percent. Today, after the installation of acres of solar panels and millions of windmills, the ratio is still 87 percent. The growth of the world economy has outpaced the renewable energy growth. This will no doubt continue for decades to come. What the outcome of all this will be I don’t think

anyone knows. Mother Nature, bless her, has probably got something lined up.

to the project. Instead, a bus rapid transit line, such as the Swift line now offered along Highway 99 by Community Transit, could serve the college campus and Providence’s Colby campus well.

Supporters of ST3 will have their work ahead of them to win voter approval of a tax package that will include a mix of sales tax, car tab and property tax increases. It’s estimated that the package would add about $200 annually to the taxes paid by a typical adult living in the Sound Transit district, which in Snohomish County will include the cities of Everett, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Bothell, Lynnwood and Edmonds.

The support appears to be there. A survey released

by Sound Transit early this year showed that 75 percent of Snohomish County voters supported the $15 billion tax request.

But district voters in the region will want to see their money put to the best use: a route that includes service to the jobs and homes surrounding Paine Field.

I have to wonder if Mr. Trump has ever listened to Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, and her family discussing their Islamic faith. When he can prove to me that all Christians are peaceful and loving individuals (good luck there based on history), maybe we’ll talk.

Meanwhile, I just hope this type of hateful racism does not mean we are moving back toward the days of internment camps developed during World War II. I would hope we have learned from our American history.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Public education

Offer classes kids will need in daily life

By Daniel Braun

L

ately there is a lot of controversy surrounding the use of standardized testing in the public schools, and rightly so. This discussion needs to take place. But after a recent conversation with my 15-year-old daughter, I’m wondering if our focus should shift from how we teach our young people to what we teach them.

My daughter says she is “infuriated” with her curriculum. And she claims a number of her classmates feel the same way. She sees some of her homework as “a waste of time,” specifically algebra and biology. Why, she asks, must she study quadratic equations and cell structure when she will most likely never use that knowledge in the “real world.”

She believes she should instead be studying “practical” courses such as personal finance.

I think she makes a valid point. High school math and “hard science” courses are ideal for those planning careers in computer science, engineering, medicine or teaching. For the rest of us, I believe they should be electives. Core curriculum should consist of courses that provide useful knowledge, information that will benefit everyone. We all need to read and write intelligently, we all need a good understanding of history, we all need strong, healthy, bodies.

Besides English, history, physical education and the “soft sciences,” here are a few examples of practical courses that could be included in

public school core curriculum: Personal finance: It seems to me, we all need to understand the value of work and earning money, saving and investing, how to balance a checkbook and create a budget.

A survey of world religions: I think young people should be introduced to the possibility that there might be more to life than what we detect with our five senses. A “philosophy of life” is sorely lacking in a growing number of teens and young adults. I’ve never understood why science is studied in high school while religion is ignored. I believe both world views are of equal importance. America was founded not on scientific principles, but rather on religious principles.

IN OUR VIEW | Sound Transit Link to Everett

By any measurement, $15 billion is a lot of money, especially when we’re talking about taxpayer money.

Earlier this year, the Legislature authorized Sound Transit to seek voter approval to collect about $15 billion over a 15-year period to fund the next phase of construction of its Link light rail system, dubbed ST3. Sound Transit, under the direction of a board of public officials, including three from the Snohomish County region, has gathered together a list of potential projects and options within those projects. Among those of greatest interest to voters in Snohomish County, many who will be asked to approve a tax package to provide the funding, is the extension of light rail from Lynnwood’s future terminal to Everett Station.

Sound Transit’s board also is considering five other light rail projects in King and Pierce counties and three bus rapid transit projects.

But even $15 billion won’t be enough to fund all proposed projects. So, before a tax package is presented to

agree that young people today are lacking some fundamental social skills? Face-to-face conversation seems to be a lost art. I cannot think of a more practical, powerful skill than the ability to express one’s thoughts politely and cogently in mixed company. A course on etiquette might also include topics like showing respect for one’s elders and authority, civic responsibility and working as a volunteer.

The kinds of social interaction that characterized civilizations for thousands of years, up until the birth of the smartphone, need not be relegated to the ash heap of history.

I believe etiquette can be cultivated and practiced in a classroom, just like algorithms and the periodic table.

GOP must put space between it, Il Trumpe

I

n an internal Republican Party memo, officials tried to come to grips with the possibility of Donald Trump as their nominee by comparing Trump to Wendell Willkie, the businessman who won the 1940 Republican nomination.

“Willkie and Trump have a lot in common,” Ward Baker, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, wrote at the beginning of the memo.

“Both were seen as fresh-faced outsiders.”

DANA MILBANK Placing Trump squarely within the party’s traditions, Baker suggested that Republican candidates should embrace some of Trump’s “character traits” and “limit the Trump criticisms.”

Um, no.

It’s hard to imagine a less apt analogue for Trump than Willkie. If the current front-runner for the Republican nomination is to be compared to a 1940s political figure, he comes closer to Il Duce.

Willkie was an outspoken proponent of civil rights and a special counsel to the NAACP. He was an avid internationalist and proposed a postwar plan for international peacekeeping. He was denied the 1944 Republican nomination because he was too liberal.

Trump is the opposite of Willkie, pulling the party to the black-shirted right by playing on fears of foreigners and racial and religious minorities.

Indeed, Trump owes less to Willkie’s tradition than to Benito Mussolini’s, and not only because of the superficial: Trump’s chin-out toughness, sweeping right-hand gestures and talk of his “huge” successes and his “stupid” opponents all evoke the Italian dictator’s style. Monday’s breathtaking announcement that he would block all Muslims from entering the United States has many pointing out the obvious fascist overtones.

But Trump has built toward this for some time, beginning with his pledge to round up and deport millions of illegal immigrants. A couple of weeks ago, after Trump said he would consider forcing Muslims in the United States to register in a database, the conservative military historian Max Boot tweeted: “Trump is a fascist. And that’s not a term I use loosely or often. But he’s earned it.”

Trump uses many of the fascist’s tools: a contempt for facts, spreading a pervasive sense of fear and overwhelming crisis, portraying his backers as victims, assigning blame to foreign or alien actors and suggesting that only his powerful personality can transcend the crisis. He endorsed the violence done to a dissenter at one of his rallies, and he now floats the idea of making entry to the United States contingent on religion.

Perhaps more troubling than Trump is the reluctance among Republican leaders to disavow him.

“Trump can hit the right chord,” the NRSC’s Baker wrote in his memo. “We can’t afford to depress the GOP vote,” he added. “Spending full time attacking our own nominee will ensure that the GOP vote is depressed. That will only serve to topple GOP candidates at every level.

Maintain the right amount of independence, but avoid piling on the nominee.”

In fairness, Baker wrote that in late September, and Trump’s campaign has grown ever darker. Last week, I wrote that it’s necessary to call Trump the racist, bigot and demagogue that he is. His supporters’ reaction confirmed that he’s appealing to the ugliest impulses: My inbox filled with anti-Semitic, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-black and, particularly, anti-Muslim invective.

Trump’s rivals and other GOP leaders, such as Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have condemned his proposed Muslim ban.

But, with few exceptions, they still pretend he would be an acceptable Republican standard-bearer.

“This is not conservatism,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said.

Right — it’s fascism.

“What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for,” Ryan added.

But, asked if he could support Trump, Ryan said he would back “whoever the Republican nominee is.”

After last weekend’s suspected terrorist attack on London’s Underground, a witness shouted at the perpetrator the now famous words: “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv.”

What’s needed here is for conservative and GOP leaders to send a similar message to Trump: “You ain’t no Republican, bro.”

Temporary ban on pot stores in Ferndale

BRANDY SHREVE / SKAGIT VALLEY HERALD

Daniel Rasmussen, a volunteer from a nonprofit organization for education, tutors seventh graders Amanda Elling (left) and Natasha Prichett at Anacortes Middle School. Principals across Washington are saying the current teacher shortage has reached a “crisis” and is placing a strain on schools.

Sounding the school alarm Facing teacher shortages statewide, officials hope more get into education

By Kera Wanielista Skagit Valley Herald

MOUNT VERNON — For more than a decade, Daniel Rasmussen was in the business of teeth, operating his own dental practice in Anacortes.

Two years ago, however, Rasmussen sold his practice to head back to school.

Twenty-five years after graduating from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Rasmussen is pursuing a teaching degree.

“I don’t want to stop learning,” Rasmussen said. “It’s a ‘find what you love and love what you do’ type thing. And I think I found it.”

If all goes well, Rasmussen hopes to enter Western Washington University’s Woodring College of Education by next fall.

“I’m warning my seventhgrade daughter that I hope to be her biology teacher when she’s in high school,” Rasmussen said.

Educators and state officials are hoping Rasmussen’s case won’t be unique. They’ll likely need more people like him — thousands more people like him, in fact.

Facing a shortage of teachers, the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is anticipating needing up to 10,000 teachers in the next three to four years — and that’s just for kindergarten through the third grade.

“We’re significantly worried,” said Mount Vernon School District Assistant Superintendent Dave Anderson, who oversees district personnel.

Declining interest Five years ago, in the midst of the economic downturn, Rasmussen would have faced a far different job market.

School districts throughout the state were cutting positions, and teachers eligible for retirement were hanging on.

State universities had just graduated about 2,000 students ready to head off into the field, said Francisco Rios, Dean of Woodring College of Education.

Only about 900 got jobs, he said.

“That word gets out to people,” Rios said. “Pretty soon people are like, ‘Well we don’t want to become teachers, because there’s no jobs.’ ” That was just the start of the teacher shortage.

Not only was the cost of college increasing, but changes in the field of teaching — including pressure from high-stakes testing and the state holding off on cost of living and salary increases — also discouraged potential teachers.

“We’re just not seeing that

many students that want to become teachers,” Rios said. “It would be difficult for a student to say, ‘Not only am I going to come in and have a large loan to not get paid very well, but I’m coming into a profession right now that has a very low status.”’

Then there are those who may have thought about becoming math or science teachers who are now being wooed by the likes of Google, Amazon and others who can offer more money.

“All of those things collectively have made teaching a less attractive field than it was 30 years ago,” Rios said.

Job market rebounds School districts are no longer cutting teaching positions, instead they are adding them.

In 2012, the state Supreme Court ruled in its McCleary decision that the state was not meeting its constitutional obligation to fully fund public education.

As a result, the state Legislature has pumped more money into the K-12 system, including funding all-day kindergarten throughout the state.

To accommodate all-day kindergarten, the Sedro-Woolley School District had to hire seven new kindergarten teachers, said Executive Director of Human Resources and Technology Darrell Heisler.

“We really saw a crunch two years ago,” Heisler said. “Now we need teachers to cover those other (half days).”

McCleary also mandates having smaller class sizes in grades K-3, and eventually in grades 4-8.

Math, science, bilingual and English Language Learners teachers are the hardest to find, and that’s not likely to change, according to OSPI. Rural districts, particularly those with large minority or lowincome student populations, will continue to have problems finding teachers, according to an OSPI report.

“What we’re all seeing, in general, is it’s getting harder,” La Conner School District Superintendent Tim Bruce said. “You’re getting less applicants for each position.”

Because school districts are hiring more teachers, but there are fewer available in the job market, they have had to draw from their pools of substitute teachers.

That creates another problem.

“All of a sudden, our sub pool just shrunk really quick,” Heisler said. “We’re short subs weekly.

Sometimes daily.”

To fill the holes left from a lack of substitutes, sometimes teachers sacrifice their daily planning periods in order to fill in for each other.

In smaller districts, that could mean principals and superintendents stepping into a classroom.

Knowing that some districts draw from the same substitute pool, some local districts try to coordinate teacher professional development days so not every district needs substitutes at the same time, said BurlingtonEdison School District Assistant Superintendent Jeff Drayer, who oversees his district’s personnel.

Right now, many Skagit County school districts say they are fully staffed when it comes to teachers.

“The teachers that we hired this year, it was a great pool, even if our application numbers were lower,” Drayer said.

But that can change year to year, especially as the state grapples with Initiative 1351, a voter-approved mandate that if funded by the state could lower class sizes across all grades.

This would be in addition to the lower class sizes specified by McCleary.

“We recognize (lowering class sizes) is the correct thing to do, but many of us are wondering, ‘Are we going to get the candidates to pull this off?”’ said Anderson. “You’ve got a space issue and a resource issue, the teachers being the resource.”

Strength in numbers Currently, in-state colleges are producing 1,500 teachers a year, according to a report from OSPI. That’s a number that is going to have to increase in order to counter the teacher shortage.

“We are actively working with our teacher prep programs to see what their capacity is,” said state Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes. “Can they ramp up?”

At Woodring, efforts are being made to bring more people into the teaching field, including through a variety of “alternative pathways” programs, Rios said.

Those include creating channels that allow high school students to fast-track into Woodring, programs for adults already working in schools in capacities other than teaching, and potentially recruiting adults with bachelor’s degrees in other fields.

Rios is also hoping to increase the number of students Woodring can accept.

“We’re ready to step up,” Rios said. “It’s going to be challenging, but I think, all in all, we’re ready for that challenge. The big question will be the degree to which we can get some financial support from the state.”

Lytton said the state is exploring options, including working with the Professional Education Standards Board to determine the scope of the problem and

ways to address it.

“What is it that we can do to attract qualified candidates into the teaching profession?” Lytton said. “What can we do, if anything, to help them?”

Recommendations laid out by OSPI include hiring incentives for new teachers, increasing beginner teacher pay, recruiting more teachers from out of state, providing more assistance for teachers looking for jobs and for districts looking to hire, and implementing a high school “careers in education” course, similar to the “Ready Washington Teachers” program.

Still, Rios is worried that might not be enough.

“We need people to get (here) and we need to make sure that if we open the doors and we have the slots that students want to come,” Rios said. “That is the thing that is most anxiety producing for me, is that so many people have been turned off to thinking about teaching as a profession that even if we were able to bring more people in that we won’t see the students standing at the door.”

Lytton also recognizes it’ll take more than words to solve the problem.

“I want a winning team,” she said, comparing teaching to professional sports. “Their players are paid nice sums of money, with expected results. We need to put value on a very important profession in our state. How do we create that winning team?

It isn’t by not giving them cost of living adjustments and a fair wage that they deserve.”

This year, the state gave districts more money and approved a 3 percent cost of living adjustment for teachers. It did not, however, provide funding for those increases, meaning districts had to pay for the raises themselves.

“We’re definitely using local levies to supplement salaries in our teachers, classified (staff) and administration,” Heisler said. “The state doesn’t pay for salaries completely.”

The reliance on levies to pay teachers, some say, means the state is falling short on its obligation to fully fund basic education.

“The McCleary thing has to be decided,” Heisler said. “When you talk about your computers and your desks and your pencils and your people, those are all basic education.”

The state still has to pump $3 billion to $4 billion into basic education in order to comply with McCleary, Lytton said.

“We know we have a problem and now we have to do something,” she said. “Our kids deserve no less than for us to attract great teachers and pay them a good wage.”

FERNDALE — Ferndale officials have approved a temporary ban on new marijuana businesses.

The Bellingham Herald reported that the Ferndale City Council voted to approve the emergency moratorium Monday.

The moratorium will last for six months but can be renewed.

The city’s communications officer, Riley Sweeney, said the decision does not represent officials’ stance on the marijuana issue, but gives the city time to make sure regulations meet state code. City officials have said the moratorium shouldn’t have an effect on operations at Ferndale’s only pot store. A public hearing on the moratorium will be held within 60 days.

Tukwila: Suspect sought in shooting King County authorities are searching for suspects after a 19-year-old man was shot in the head in Tukwila. KOMO-TV reported that the Federal Way man was taken to a hospital Tuesday in critical condition. Witnesses told police they saw a group of people in a physical altercation and heard gunshots. A police dog was brought in to help police track down the possible shooter. No arrests have been made.

Olympia: Centers will help E. Wash. startups The state Department of Commerce has opened two new centers to help entrepreneurs in eastern Washington.

The public-private economicdevelopment program called “Startup 365” is hoping to help individuals start businesses in rural communities. The new centers are in Asotin and Whitman counties.

Entrepreneurs can go to the centers to collaborate with each other and learn from experts, including teachers from nearby colleges and universities.

Yakima: 3 die in crash The state patrol says three people are dead following a twovehicle crash near Kennewick.

Four people, including a baby, also were injured in the crash that occurred on I-82 near the Benton County city of Kennewick shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday. The patrol said a pickup truck carrying five people left the roadway and rolled into the oncoming lane where it was struck by an SUV. Three people in the pickup were killed and two others injured.

The report saod a woman and a six-month old baby in the SUV also were hurt. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Oregon: Protest over proposed LNG pipeline Activists and oyster growers are opposing a proposed natural gas pipeline that would go through Coos Bay. The Statesman Journal reported that dozens of people protested Tuesday outside the State Land Board meeting in Salem. Oyster growers say that 157 miles of pipeline would damage oyster beds and other opponents say it would cross private property.

Canadian company Veresen Inc. wants to build the export terminal. The Jordan Cove Energy Project would receive natural gas through a new, 232-mile pipeline.

Supporters of the proposal say it will bring jobs to the community as well as millions of dollars in tax revenue.

The Department of State Lands is one of several state agencies that can deny permits for the terminal and pipeline. It did not make any decisions Tuesday.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Question what you have done in the past and take responsibility so that you can move on. Getting back on track will require discipline and hard work, but that’s something you’ll be able to accomplish by realigning yourself with people who offer positive support and set good examples. Your numbers are 9, 16, 20, 27, 31, 36, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your energy to work for you. Don’t get anxious, get moving.

Make decisions that will improve your financial future, and set goals that will encourage you to save for something special. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pick and choose what you spend your money on. Someone will try to talk you out of your cash. Don’t make donations or loan money to others. Pay more attention to learning and improving your skills and qualifications. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take action to resolve a problem with someone. It’s important to know where you stand if you want to make the best decision possible, especially if it can influence an important partnership, your job or your plans for the future. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Enjoy doing things that make you happy. Spend time with children or someone you have a romantic interest in. A positive change at home could result in more people or pets living under your roof. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Step into the spotlight and take control. Your spontaneity and compassion will help you bring about change. It’s likely you will face someone who doesn’t agree with you, but your ability to win over the majority will bring positive results. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take care of personal business and responsibilities, but don’t let anyone burden you with situations that

Consider making a move, rearranging your furniture or decorating for the holidays. It will lift your spirits and spark your imagination.

Don’t be afraid to do things differently and stand out from the crowd. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will face uncertainty and confusion from others.

Don’t let anyone use emotional blackmail in order to tempt you to do things that aren’t good for you or that could separate you from your cash. Be responsible. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid travel and dealing with institutions, if possible. Taking care of your health and setting up an exercise program that will help you stay in shape and look your best is a good place to start. Put your needs first for a change. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you want something, go after it. A job that interests you is within reach. Use innovative tactics to attract attention and support from those who can help you achieve your goals. Strive for greater stability and you will gain recognition and respect. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Protect against false accusations and emotional manipulation. Use your intelligence and insight to avoid getting involved in something that has the potential to make you look bad. A moderate approach and tight budget will give you financial wiggle room. ★★ Universal Uclick

Portland scores 5 in third to sink Tips The Winterhawks mount a furious third-period rally to erase a three-goal deficit and defeat Everett 7-5.

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — When playing at even strength Wednesday night the Everett Silvertips held a distinct advantage over the visiting Portland Winterhawks at Xfinity Arena.

Anything other than even strength, however, and the scales tipped in favor of the Winterhawks.

Portland scored a shorthanded goal and tallied four power-play goals to complete a furious third-quarter comeback for a 7-5 victory before 3,078 fans.

Cody Glass broke a 5-5 tie at 15:49 in the third period for Portland’s first lead of the game, and Colton Veloso completed the scoring at 17:07 as the Winterhawks scored five unanswered goals Carson in the final 14:53 to Stadnyk erase a 5-2 deficit.

“A lot of situations happen and you never know — it’s hockey,”

said Portland forward Rihards Bukarts, who tallied a hat trick with all three goals coming via the power play. “We went down three goals, and the most important thing about our team is that we’re hard-working. We never quit and we kept playing our game. We kept our structure and got a couple goals on power plays because of the hard work.”

Third-place Everett (15-10-02, 32 points) saw its chance to

create separation in the U.S. Division from fourth-place Portland (14-14-0-0, 28 points) slip away.

The Tips seemed to take control when Remi Laurencelle and Jake Christiansen each scored early in the third period to push Everett’s one-goal advantage to 5-2.

But the Winterhawks countered with three consecutive power-play goals — the first and See SILVERTIPS, Page C6

AKE STEVENS — For Jacob Eason it’s about more than football.

It’s been about carrying on the proud tradition of the Lake Stevens Vikings’ program. It’s about being a good role model for young players. It’s about hanging out with friends, teammates and family. It’s about being a part of a community.

It’s about the Friday night lights.

“Just getting to play in front of your school, in front of your town and the people you grew up with,” Eason said. “It’s

awesome coming out here and seeing all the super fans, your friends and your family up in the stands at every game. That’s the best part. The Friday night lights are real.”

Watching Eason shine over the past four years has been a favorite part for many local football fans, and Eason saved his best season for last. The 6-foot-6, 220pound senior passed for 3,585 yards and 43 touchdowns this season and led Lake Stevens to a 12-1 record and a berth in the Class 4A state semifinals at the Tacoma

The Herald Dome. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Washington and was selected for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Because of his tremendous accomplishments, as well as his commitment to his community, Eason is the The Herald’s 2015 Offensive Player of the Year.

RENTON — It’s a moment that’s come to define two men.

When the Seattle Seahawks travel to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the scene is set for the reunion of two players who were on opposite ends of a play that kick-started one dynasty and ended the possibility of another.

Those players are Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and Ravens quarterback Matt Schaub, and their careers can be summed up by their intersection on Sept.

29, 2013, when Schaub was playing for the Houston Texans.

“Yes, I do have fond memories of that game,” Richard Sherman said Sherman Wednesday during his press confer- INSIDE ence at the Virginia Mason Athletic ✓ Seahawks bring back Center.

That moment tight end further solidi- McCoy, C4 fied Sherman as arguably the NFL’s best cornerback, while Schaub’s name is now synonymous with the term “pick-six.”

At the time, the game was billed as a battle between two Super Bowl contenders. Seattle was the brash upstart, coming off its first winning season in five years and starting the campaign with three straight wins. Meanwhile, Houston won 22 games the previous two seasons and, at 2-1, fancied itself for another crack at a playoff run.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — And now, it appears, general manager Jerry Dipoto might be ready to hit the pause button in his frenetic efforts to overhaul the Seattle Mariners’ roster.

Dipoto filled the club’s need for a first baseman Wednesday morning by acquiring Adam Lind from Milwaukee in a trade for three teen-aged minor-league pitchers: Daniel Missaki, Carlos Herrera and Freddy Peralta.

“(Lind) has been a target of ours throughout the offseason,” Dipoto said. “He has historically torched right-handed pitching.

He gets on base. He manages the strike zone well. He doesn’t strike out for a guy with power.

“It’s a nice package for us.”

Dipoto said the only remaining item on his offseason checklist is to add a proven relief pitcher — most likely a free agent — who could compete

with Joaquin Benoit for duty as the closer.

Any other acquisitions are likely to be minor-league free agents.

“We’ve done a lot of business the last two months,” Dipoto said, “but I like the way our team has shaped up. I think it’s a more complete and well-rounded team.

“I don’t see a position on the field that looks like a sinkhole.

I think we’ve built a good, solid group, and that we’ve raised the floor. This is what we wanted to do, and we got where we wanted to go. Now, we can settle down.”

Tri-City 7:05 p.m.

It’s wet and windy, there are few steelhead around, the blackmouth fishing is slow and there’s lots of Christmas stuff to do. This is looking a lot like an indoor weekend.

Football will take care of a lot of it, but Cabela’s Tulalip store helps out by offering an attractive alternative on Saturday. There will be entertainment, activities and hundreds of giveaway items at the store from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The first 250 customers 18 and older will be eligible to receive a mystery envelope containing information about their gift. All envelopes will be distributed ran-

domly and could include vouchers for one of five Savage Arms rimfire rifles, Nikon binoculars, Barnett youth bows, Peet boot dryers, Mitchell spinning reels, Cabela’s gift cards and other good stuff.

Firearm winners will be required to complete and pass a standard federal background check to take ownership of the gun.

Additionally, Cabela’s is offering daily drawings for gift cards in the company’s Hunt For Bucks Sweepstakes through Dec. 20. For more information on holiday hours and giveaway details, visit www.cabelas.com/tulalip.

Salmon Classic.” It filled the hole left when the Resurrection folks pulled out of Friday Harbor, and drew a 98-boat field, admirable for a first-time event and under difficult conditions. The derby weighed 89 fish, Lawson said, and the winner was Mike McAuley of Bellingham, with a chinook of 18.06 pounds. The second-place fish weighed 13.11 pounds, and third, 12.91.

Lawson said many of his derby’s participants also ran for protected water, such as the west side of Orcas Island, West Beach and others. Kevin John said Humphrey Head and Waldron Island also were popular.

Lawson was pleased with the results of his initial event, and said “Next year we’ll fill up (100 boats) and maybe add a few spots.”

So that’s it for now from the San Juans, but be careful you don’t confuse either of the two above events with a third, upcoming, derby in the islands.

That would be the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic, scheduled for Jan. 21, 22 and 23. Organizer Debbie Sandwith at the Roche Harbor Market said the derby has sold out, but that she is keeping a waiting list. If you’re interested in getting on the list, call her at 360-378-5562.

The department said a retention fishery may be reopened if enough broodstock are taken.

ll the high-liners headed for the San Juan Islands over the weekend, where not one, but two $10,000 salmon derbies took place. The weather was lousy, the fishing mediocre, but the prize money and the bragging rights — especially the prize money — made it all OK. First place and the ten grand in the sixth annual Resurrection Derby went to Ryan Kies of Mount Vernon, with a chinook of 19.6 pounds. Rydel Brooks of Stanwood nailed second place, with a fish of 16.38 pounds, and third went to David Huynh of Burlington, at 15.62 pounds.

The previous five Resurrection derbies were held at Friday Harbor, but sponsors of the event — the Fidalgo-San Juan Islands chapter of the Puget Sound Anglers — moved it to Anacortes this year. Last year’s derby was a 100-boat sellout. This year, the event drew 73 boats. Whether that dropoff in participation was because of the move to Anacortes, competition from the other event held the same weekend in the islands, the predicted poor weather conditions or all the above, is open to debate.

The 223 anglers weighed 48 hatchery chinook, and while the 2014 derby weighed a whopping 413 fish, the first-place chinook this year beat last year’s winner by three-quarters of a pound.

Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said the weekend’s significant (particularly on Saturday) prevailing wind was from the southeast, which meant many fishermen out of Anacortes headed for protected water such as the Tide PointEagle Bluff area on the west side of Cypress Island.

Resurrection Derby proceeds go toward scholarships for students in fish-related studies, local salmon enhancement, and derelict net removal, among other projects.

The second derby over the weekend was new this year and christened by organizer Jimmy Lawson the “Friday Harbor

Release Stilly steelhead The state Department of Fish and Wildlife put out regulations last week requiring the release of all steelhead on the Stillaguamish River and its North Fork because the Whitehorse Hatchery is not getting enough early winter broodstock. That would seem to make sense, since no early winter hatchery steelhead smolts have been released from the Whitehorse Hatchery since 2013, and the forecast run this winter is 22 percent of the recent average.

Skagit Delta waterfowl Kevin John said there are lots of waterfowl on the Skagit Delta right now, and that the last cold snap forced the birds inland to feed. Now that they’ve found corn stubble and other forage, there are other options to try besides the bayfronts.

The northern migration is in full swing in the Columbia Basin, according to Mike Meseberg at MarDon Resort on Potholes Reservoir. For more information, call 509-346-2651.

The eastside waterfowl season ends the last Sunday in January.

Fishing reg changes The state Fish and Wildlife Commission meets Dec. 11-12 in Port Townsend to take action on proposed freshwater sport-fishing rules. The commission will convene at 8 a.m. on Dec. 11 at the Northwest Maritime Center (431 Water Street), and at 8:30 a.m. the following day.

Proposals include: n Adjusting gear rules and prohibiting the harvest of wild steelhead in several coastal rivers, essentially eliminating the one-wild-fish retention fishery on the Forks-area rivers. n Eliminating size restrictions and daily limits for eastern brook trout in most Western Washington streams, and crappie in several Western Washington lakes. n Removing rules limiting anglers to just two trout larger than 14 inches in several westside lowland lakes.

Also on tap: briefings on Puget Sound rockfish, the status of the proposed boat launch at Point No Point and the recent meetings of the Wolf Advisory Group.

Outdoor calendar n The Evergreen Fly Fishing Club will offer a series of flytying classes this winter at the Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo. The 12 classes begin at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 6 and continue each Wednesday through March 23. Classes are taught by club members and include some of their favorite patterns.

Attendees need to bring a fly-tying vise, tying thread and bobbins, and other basic tools.

To register, call the center on Dec. 12 or later at 425-2638180. The cost is $60 to cover the facility and materials.

Items for the Outdoor Calendar can be submitted by e-mail (sports@heraldnet. com), by fax (425-3393435) or by mail (P.O. Box 930, Everett, Wash.). The deadline is noon Monday. are hitting a steelhead or two each day on the Skykomish, and that the Reiter Ponds section of the river occasionally provides a double-digit morning bite. The only real productive fishery, however, is on the Bogachiel/Calawah near Forks.

He’s heard nothing yet on the steelhead scene from the westside Whidbey beaches.

Squid jigging remains good on the Edmonds Pier, and Chamberlain said it should remain productive through mid-January.

On the Cowlitz over the weekend, 13 boat fishermen took one winter steelhead and released a wild fish below the trout hatchery, and 73 bank fishermen had one summer steelhead, and three adult and three jack coho at the barrier dam, according to state biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. On the North Lewis, 19 bank anglers kept three hatchery adult coho, and 15 boat anglers kept five adult chinook and released one adult coho.

Over at Ringold Springs hatchery on the Columbia above the Tri-Cities, 65 bank anglers last week had seven steelhead and averaged 28 hours per fish; 24 boat anglers caught 14 steelhead and averaged a fish for 7.5 hours on the water.

Smelt The estimated run of Columbia smelt (eulachon) in the Cowlitz River this season is expected by state biologists to be a modest one. If a recreational season is authorized, it will be a very brief one — much like those in 2014 and 2015.

Royals rout Snohomish Herald staff SNOHOMISH — The Lynnwood girls basketball team continued to assert its dominance of the region on Tuesday with an emphatic 57-21 victory over Snohomish.

Mikayla Pivec led the Royals with 17 points, Jordyn Edwards added 12 and Kelsey Rogers chipped in 10 for 3-0 Lynnwood, which held the 0-3 Panthers to single-digit scoring in all four quarters.

“The last two years we’ve played them really tough and I thought we’d compete and give them a good game,” Snohomish coach Ken Roberts said. “They came out and jumped on us early. They’re very difficult to guard. I think they’re a better team this year than last year because everyone on the court can score.”

The Panthers’ Madison Pollock, who will play at San Diego next year, led Snohomish with seven points.

Teammate Madeline Smith, headed to Montana State, was held to just two.

“Pivec and Edwards are so good, but (Kaprice) Boston is much improved and Rogers is very tough inside,” Roberts said.

“They bring others off the bench and they can all shoot.”

Coach of the Year: Jim Shapiro

All-Area First-Team Offense Quarterback Jacob Eason, Sr., Lake Stevens

King’s coach led his team all the way to 1A championship game

Jim Shapiro knew this season’s King’s football team was going to be a good one.

When the members of the Class of 2016 were in the eighth grade, Shapiro told them they had the chance to do something special. The players believed him, and made it all the way to the Class 1A state championship game for the first time in the program’s history, earning Shapiro The Herald’s 2015 Prep Football Coach of the Year award.

After the title game, which King’s lost to top-ranked Royal 28-7, Shapiro met in the locker room with those seniors, who he called “a very special group to coach.”

“I spent some private time with the seniors only,” Shapiro said. “There were some emotions, but it was a special group.

They reminded me when they were eighth graders at King’s and I told them, ‘You could win a state championship if you work hard.’ Obviously, we fell a few points short, but my prediction

was right. They were a state championship team. Because of their caliber, I saw something special in them.”

Shapiro has had several star players pass through Woolsey Stadium in his 19 years as King’s

head coach, enough to get him to the state quarterfinals seven consecutive years. The seventh time was the charm for Shapiro and the Knights, who after six tries, finally reached the Tacoma Dome for the state semifinals

go-lucky teenage kid from Lake Stevens that happens to be really talented,” Lake Stevens head coach Tom Tri said. “He loves to just hang out with his buddies, or watch a movie, or play video games or go bowling and just hang out with friends. He’s a great leader. ... I think that’s part of what he loves about football.

There’s a lot of guys he gets to hang out with. It’s a big family.”

Tri, who vividly remembers plays and opponents from games that occurred years ago, can list off the Eason highlight reel. There was the time he threw for 510 yards and six touchdowns his sophomore year in a 53-49 victory over EdmondsWoodway. The game against Marysville Pilchuck this season where he was a 13-of-13 for 285 yards and three touchdowns — that led to a Google suggestion for “Jacob Eason perfect game.”

His biggest playoff win, a 49-14 victory against Graham-Kapowsin in the state quarterfinals on Nov. 21, to send the Vikings to the Tacoma Dome.

But before all that happened, there was the time Tri and the Vikings needed a freshman to fill in at a 7-on-7 passing camp after then-quarterback Gavin O’Neil couldn’t make it because of a select baseball tournament.

The Lake Stevens quarterback coach suggested to Tri that the Vikings cancel their trip to the summer tournament. Instead, Tri decided to see what a 6-foot-2 freshman could do.

Eason led Lake Stevens to decisive victories in its first three pool-play games, and led them to the championship, where they lost 49-42.

“He kept getting better and better as the day went,” Tri said.

“You could tell he was having a ton of fun. We got to the championship game and it was because of Jacob Eason.

He threw seven touchdowns

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Lake Stevens quarterback Jacob Eason threw for 3,585 yards and 43 touchdowns for the Vikings this season.

in the championship game. I remember driving home that day thinking, ‘OK, we’ve got something.’ That was when the light bulb clicked on: ‘He’s only a freshman, but he’s the real deal.’”

The Vikings’ opponents saw that early on, too. Kamiak head coach Dan Mack, whose Knights faced Eason and Lake Stevens in a nationally televised Wesco 4A contest this season, said Eason is “one of the finest players to come out of Snohomish County in many, many years.”

He’s excited to see Eason play on Saturdays, instead of Friday nights against the Knights.

“He just has a great grasp of the game,” Mack said. “He’s crafty beyond his years. He seems to be a very clear-minded player back there. Jacob has a really good sense of what he wants to do when he’s in the game. I think one of the things that sticks out to me is he’s a

competitor. He competes. I know he’s a great person, a great individual. Just as an opposing coach, you can see how his teammates rally against him. He has that innate ability to inspire his teammates just through his confidence and preparation.

“He’s the type of kid you root for.”

If he wasn’t lining up behind center, Eason envisions himself as a wide receiver. His father, Tony, played receiver at Snohomish in the 1980s and later at Notre Dame.

The younger Eason enjoys attempting Odell Beckham, Jr.-like one-handed catches in practice.

“If I wasn’t a quarterback, I would definitely want to play receiver,” Eason said. “Even as a quarterback, I love running around and catching passes from whoever else. Just jumping up and making some one-handed grabs. That was one of the things that I never got to experience that would have been cool. But

— then returned the following week for the championship.

Getting two games in Tacoma was special for Shapiro and his team.

“It’s been a personal dream of mine,” he said. “Every Thanksgiving I’m driving by that place because my wife’s folks live down in Portland and I’m knowing teams are playing in there. To personally walk in with the team and compete was a big deal. It’s a big deal for the program, with 65 years of football being played here and to actually make it to the finals is pretty cool.”

While the Knights fell just short of their ultimate goal, the future appears to be on an upward trajectory. From the current batch of juniors to the underclassmen — and beyond.

“I got a message from a ball boy’s mom, I think he’s in fifth grade, and he went home crying,” Shapiro said. “He cried himself to sleep and said, ‘Football is over and I want more.

When you have that going on in your community, and with the fifth-graders, you’re going to be all right.”

I’m glad I was a quarterback. It worked out for me.”

A local celebrity in Lake Stevens, Eason spent time after each game posing for pictures and signing autographs for fans. He’s recognized around town and routinely has people approach him.

He doesn’t mind.

“I remember when I was a little kid and I saw someone I idolized I’d want to get a picture with them or get their autograph and cherish that. So I’m just trying to return the favor,” Eason said.

“It’s really cool because you can give the kids something to dream about doing. Being the quarterback at Lake Stevens is something I always wanted to do and there’s always going to be that one kid out there who really wants to do that. If I can inspire him to do that, then that’s awesome.”

Eason’s much-publicized future is still up in the air. He verbally committed to the University of Georgia prior to his junior year, but the recent firing of Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt has Eason exploring his options, including an official visit to Florida. Eason also visited the University of Washington on Wednesday.

Wherever he goes, Tri, Mack and those who know Eason expect him to be successful.

And while there are bigger things on the horizon for Eason, who sat in the stands at Lake Stevens High School on Monday afternoon reflecting on his Vikings career, he will miss the Friday night lights.

“This is just a great, great town to grow up in and a great town to play football for. I’m going to miss it,” Eason said. “Coming out on this field, I can’t believe I’m not going to play here anymore.

It’s so quick. They say it goes quick and I kind of just experienced that. Walking in, around, or near this field I miss not going out and practicing on it.

“Lake Stevens has been good to me. The whole coaching staff, all my teammates, everything about it.

“It’s been a great four years.”

Herald Staff MUKILTEO — The Snohomish County Football Officials Association (SCFOA) honored 50 local football players at its 34th annual Hall of Fame Banquet Wednesday night at the Rose Hill Community Center.

The SCFOA, which honors a lineman and a back from each Snohomish County high school, also awards scholarships to five of the student athletes at the event.

Mountlake Terrace’s Luke Thurber, a wide receiver and defensive back, earned the $2,000 back scholarship.

Ethan Vymeister, a King’s senior, earned the top lineman award.

Every year, SCFOA member Jeff Schireman, and his wife Betty, give a $2,000 Armed Service Award. The 2015 recipient was Snohomish wide receiver/ linebacker Peyton Plucker.

Cascade lineman Matt Straughn won the $1,000

lineman scholarship award and Aaron Martiz of Stanwood earned the $1,000 back award.

The annual celebration is hosted by the county’s football officials looking to give back and celebrate with the players they referee for.

TE McCoy returns to Seahawks

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks brought a familiar face back to help deal with their depth issues at tight end Wednesday, signing Anthony McCoy. McCoy spent the previous five seasons with Seattle, catching 31 passes for 437 yards and three touchdowns from 2011-12.

However McCoy, who was originally a sixth-round pick by Seattle in the 2010 draft out of USC, spent all of 2013 and 2014 on injured reserve because of an Achilles injury, and he was released by the Seahawks just before the season began.

McCoy was signed by Washington and appeared in seven games without a catch before being released on Nov. 23.

McCoy helps fill the void left by Jimmy Graham’s season-ending knee injury.

“We hope to get (McCoy) in the rotation to take some plays for us,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “We know Anthony really well, we watched him on film at Washington, and his ability to recall all that we’ve done over the years — we’ve been together for 10 years or something (between college and the NFL) — he has a lot of background with us and our expectations, and that’s really important

THE HERALD

Tight end Anthony McCoy caught a total of 31 passes for the Seahawks during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, and spent all of 2013 and 2014 on injured reserve. He was cut by Seattle prior to the start of the 2015 season.

right now, that he can fit right in. It’s hard for somebody to jump in to the intricacies we want him to play with, and he’ll be able to do that. So he’ll play in this game and be part of it.

It feels comfortable getting him back.

“He’s always been a solid blocker,” Carroll added. “Adding that to our mix of guys is a good thing.

We’re happy to get that back.”

The Seahawks also signed safety Akeem Davis on Wednesday. Davis, who attended Seattle’s rookie minicamp in 2013 as a free agent, appeared in 13 games with Washington

Seahawks From Page C1

“I remember that game being incredibly hot,” Sherman said. “I remember them fooling us with the roof open at the beginning of the game, then trappings us with the roof closed with the heat and the humidity and sweating to death.”

For much of the game it seemed like it would be Houston’s day. The Texans led 20-3 at halftime and took a 20-6 advantage into the fourth quarter. The Seahawks pulled within seven midway through the fourth, but a Russell Wilson interception with 5:13 remaining gave Houston the ball with good field position and a chance to put the game away.

Enter Sherman.

On third-and-4 from the Seattle 40-yard line, the Texans dialed up a play-action bootleg. Safety Kam Chancellor blitzed on the back side and was right on top of Schaub, forcing Schaub to get rid of the ball quickly toward tight end Owen Daniels in the right flat.

Sherman, reading the play all the way, stepped in front of Daniels and raced 58 yards for a game-tying touchdown — losing his shoe in the process.

“It was one of (the defining moments of the season),” said

last season and two with New Orleans earlier this season. Carroll said Davis would be used primarily on special teams.

McCoy and Davis fill the available spots on Seattle’s 53-man roster created by the release of cornerback Cary Williams and tight end Chase Coffman earlier this week.

Bevell not headed to BYU Rumors emerged Monday about the possibility of Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell being a candidate for the vacant head coaching position at Brigham Young University. However, Carroll squashed those rumors Wednesday.

Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner, who escorted Sherman into the end zone. “It was definitely an exciting play. Down, come back, win, it was definitely a fun game for us.”

Sherman said he knew the play was coming.

“It was definitely a result of preparation,” Sherman said. “It’s a play we saw multiple times, that we knew they run in that part of the field with the ball on that hash, the down and distance was perfect. It was a great call by the coordinator, it was a great read by me. It was a bit of a gamble, but an educated guess. I took my hypothesis and executed.”

Seattle went on to win the game with a field goal in overtime, finish the season 13-3 and march to its first Super Bowl championship, and the Seahawks continue to be one of the NFL’s premier teams. Sherman picked up first-team All-Pro selections both that season and the following one.

Houston’s season fell apart as it finished with 14 straight losses en route to a league-worst 2-14 record, and the Texans remain stuck in the middle of the NFL pack.

It’s been an even worse path for Schaub. Schaub was in his seventh season as Houston’s starting quarterback, leading the league in passing yards in 2009. However, Sherman’s pick-six was the third straight game in which Schaub

Broncos sign safety Keo Wire and staff reports ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos bolstered their depth at safety on Wednesday by signing fifth-year veteran Shiloh Keo, who played 42 games with the Houston Texans and is familiar with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ schemes.

Keo is a graduate of Archbishop Murphy High School.

He last appearance in a regular-season NFL game was in 2013.

The Broncos needed help at the position because of injuries suffered by David Bruton Jr. (knee) and Omar Bolden (hamstring) at San Diego on Sunday.

T.J. Ward missed the game with an ankle injury that is expected to sideline him again this weekend against Oakland.

That left the Broncos with two healthy safeties in Darian Stewart and Josh Bush, who was re-signed last week.

The Broncos made room for Keo, who was in training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals this summer, by releasing quarterback Christian Ponder on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns signed tight end Connor Hamlett, a 2010 graduate of Meadowdale High School, to their practice squad on Monday.

The 6-foot-7, 259-pound Hamlett played college football at Oregon State University from 2010-14. He had 104 receptions for 1,109 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Beavers.

He went undrafted last spring and later signed as a free agent with Jacksonville, but was released near the end of training camp. Previously this season he has been on the practice squads with Philadelphia and New Orleans.

“I did talk to Tom Holmoe (BYU’s athletic director), who’s an old friend of mine, we worked together with the (San Francisco 49ers),” Carroll said. “So we have talked and just to understand, we have a long season going on. They have to go do their job, get ahead and get their decisions made, so Tommy’s going to keep working at it. Darrell would be an awesome choice for them, but he’s not available. He’s going to run with us and do what we’re doing.

They have recruiting and all kinds of stuff, so the timing isn’t going to fit for them.”

“I want to be a head coach, that’s definitely true,” Bevell said. “But there’s no good time for us right now. We’re doing things that we want to do, we’re doing things that really have been unprecedented, going to two Super Bowls and were going to make a push to continue to do that, and I want to be a part of it. I want to be here, my focus is on what we’re doing, and the Baltimore Ravens is the next game on tap.”

Extra points Running back Marshawn Lynch was spotted back at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Wednesday. Lynch underwent abdominal surgery in Philadelphia two weeks ago and as of Monday had not returned to the Seahawks’ facility. It is unknown when Lynch will be able to return to game action. ... Carroll said linebacker Brock Coyle will be activated from injured reserve this week. Coyle was placed on injured reserve with the designation to return on Oct. 20 because of a knee injury. Coyle is used primarily on special teams. ... Seattle made several moves with its practice squad Wednesday, releasing receiver Deshon Foxx and signing receivers Antwan Goodley and Douglas McNeill III.

had an interception returned for a touchdown, tying the league record.

Schaub threw another pick-six the next week against San Francisco — on his first pass attempt of the game — to grab the record for his own. He was benched midway through the season and hasn’t been a team’s No. 1 option since.

But Schaub’s backup status hasn’t stopped him from throwing picksixes. He’s had a pick-six in both of his starts since taking over for Baltimore starter Joe Flacco, who suffered a season-ending knee injury, and Schaub finds himself riding yet another three-game streak of throwing interceptions that were returned for TDs. If he throws another picksix Sunday against Seattle, he will match his own dubious NFL record.

The Washington Post calculated the chances of a player twice throwing pick-sixes in four consecutive games at about one-in-46-million.

Sherman played his role in creating Schaub’s pick-six distinction, and if Schaub were to accomplish that incredible feat of throwing picksixes in four straight games a second time, there would be no more appropriate person on the other end than Sherman.

Rams’ Quinn, McDonald to IR Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams have lost two defensive stalwarts for the rest of the season, with end Robert Quinn to undergo back surgery and hard-hitting safety T.J. McDonald headed for a shoulder procedure.

Coach Jeff Fisher said Wednesday both players will be placed on injured reserve.

St. Louis’ pass rush hasn’t been the same without Quinn, who has missed three straight games and four of the last five with hip and back injuries. He is second on the team with five sacks.

Quinn was second in the NFL with 19 sacks in 2013. He was in double figures in each of the previous three seasons.

McDonald was sidelined late in Sunday’s 27-3 loss to Arizona on a hit from teammate Rodney McLeod.

The shoulder had been bothering him for the last few weeks.

Raiders agree to 4-year extension with Crabtree ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders agreed to a four-year contract extension that will keep wide receiver Michael Crabtree off the free-agent market next offseason.

After spending his first six seasons across the bay with the San Francisco 49ers, Crabtree signed a one-year deal that was worth $3.2 million after failing to land the longterm contract was seeking.

The move paid off for both sides as Crabtree is on pace for career highs in catches, yards receiving and touchdowns and earned the big-money deal he sought. NFL Network reported the new contract is worth $35 million, with almost $19 million guaranteed.

Servais: ‘It’s time to win’

Mets acquire Walker

By Bob Dutton

By Ronald Blum

The News Tribune

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — However high your expectations are for next season, Seattle Mariners fans, rookie manager Scott Servais sounds ready to embrace them.

“Seattle has not won in a long time,” he said Wednesday in a news conference at the Winter Meetings. “And the expectations there, they’re high, from ownership and team president and the fans. They should be.

“It’s time. It’s time to win.”

Some other highlights: ■ On identifying a closer: “Right now, is it clearly defined? No, it’s not.

Do I feel good that we have a closer?

We’ll have somebody to take the ball in the ninth inning, whether it’s Joaquin Benoit or other guys that we acquire.”

■ On catcher Mike Zunino: “Mike Zunino is going to be a very good major-league player. There’s no doubt in my mind, Jerry’s mind, or anyone else. It’s just when. He will let us know.”

■ On outfielder/DH Nelson Cruz: “He wants to play in the field. I also want him to play every day. Knowing that the travel in Seattle is rough, there may have to be a few more DH days.”

■ On Robinson Cano’s recovery from sports hernia surgery: “Healthwise, Robby is great. ... Robbie is a good spot. He knows he got off to a slow start last year. He had a great second half, playing injured. Great player.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The National League champion New York Mets filled a key spot by obtaining second baseman Neil Walker from Pittsburgh for pitcher Jon Niese, and the Detroit Tigers bolstered their bullpen by acquiring reliever Justin Wilson from the New York Yankees in Wednesday trades at the winter meetings.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, meanwhile, kept upgrading their rotation. A day after finalizing a $206.5 million deal for major league ERA leader Zack Greinke, they announced their five-player swap with Atlanta that brought All-Star righty Shelby Miller and sent No. 1 draft pick Dansby Swanson to the Braves.

“Our ownership stepped up in allowing us to get Zack Greinke. It puts us in a position to get better as a team, but we weren’t complete. We needed an additional piece to our rotation,” Arizona general manager Dave Stewart said.

Miller should slot into the No. 2 spot in the rotation ahead of Patrick Corbin, Rubby De La Rosa and Robbie Ray. “You’re getting almost 800 innings out of your starting rotation, which should help our bullpen out,” Stewart said. “The biggest part of our problems in our ’pen last year is we had to go there very often and ask them for a lot of innings.”’

Other teams are waiting for the market to develop, especially for hitters.

Among the 17 elite free agents who didn’t accept qualifying offers, five had reached agreements and all were pitchers: Greinke, Jordan Zimmermann, Jeff Samardzija, John Lackey and Marco Estrada. In addition, former Mariner Hisashi Iwakuma has an agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers that remains to be finalized.

Among the remaining 11 are pitchers WeiYin Chen, Yovani Gallardo and Ian Kennedy, joined by first baseman Chris Davis; second basemen Daniel Murphy and Howie Kendrick; shortstop Ian Desmond; and outfielders Jason Heyward, Justin Upton, Alex Gordon and Dexter Fowler.

Davis appears set to establish the top of the batters’ market after hitting 159 home runs in a four-year span. His agent, Scott Boras, is known for striking deals later in the offseason.

“In the ice-cream sandwich of markets, you have your boundaries, and then you have all the vanilla in the middle,” Boras said. “It’s pretty hard to get to the vanilla unless you get to chocolate on the outside.”

The Mets got Walker a day after their No. 1 choice for a new second baseman, Ben

Utility infielder With Ketel Marte projected as the starting shortstop, the Mariners have three players lined up to compete for duty as their utility infielder: Chris Taylor, Luis Sardinas and Shawn O’Malley.

“Luis can really run,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said. “He can pick it. He can throw. He’s played all of the infield positions.

“Chris Taylor has a strong baseball IQ. We know both guys can play shortstop in the big leagues. All three guys can run, but Sardinas and O’Malley are particularly strong runners. Sardinas is a double-plus runner.

“Obviously, they all have something they need to work on. We may bring in a veteran in a non-roster way, but we’re not

Mariners manager Scott Servais talks with reporters at baseball’s Winter Meetings Wednesday.

going to go out and fill that (with another roster spot).”

Rule 5 draft The Mariners expect to lose outfielder Jabari Blash on Thursday in the Rule 5 Draft, which allows clubs to select players who players who are not protected on a 40-man roster after four or five pro seasons.

Players who were 18 or younger when they signed their first contract must be protected after five minor-league seasons.

Players who were 19 and older must be protected after four seasons.

The Mariners have the 11th pick in the draft but, barring a late roster move, will not be entitled to a selection because they have no openings on their 40-man roster.

“We’ve gone through our due diligence,” Dipoto said, “to prepare ourselves in the event that we would (make a pick) but, at this point, it’s highly unlikely.

“We’re in the zone now where any guys we clear off the roster to make space, we’d be in danger of losing. We’d lose the depth that we’d like to create.

“Unless we were absolutely certain on the Rule 5 pick, we wouldn’t take a chance like that.”

Blash, 26, is a six-year pro who hit 32 homers last season in 116 games at Double-A Jackson (60) and Triple-A Tacoma (56). He also batted .271 with a .370 onbase percentage.

The Mariners have the 11th pick in the draft but, barring a late roster move, will not be entitled to a selection because they have no openings on their 40-man roster.

Players selected in the draft must be kept in the major leagues for the entire next season or be offered back to their former team for half of the $50,000 selection price.

Mariners From Page C1

Lind, 32, is a left-handed hitting first baseman who batted .277 last season in 149 games with 20 home runs and 87 RBI. He is under contract next season for $8 million before becoming a free agent.

“I always enjoyed playing (in Seattle),” Lind said. “I was fortunate to watch Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista hit for a long time (in Toronto).

“Now, I get to watch Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano hit a lot, and work with (hitting coach) Edgar Martinez. It’ll be a good experience for my baseball career.”

The Mariners cleared space for Lind on their 40-man roster by designating first baseman Andy Wilkins for assignment. They acquired Wilkins on Dec. 2 in a waiver claim from Baltimore.

Because Lind historically struggles against left-handed pitchers, the trade could open a roster spot for Jesus Montero as the first baseman against left-handed pitchers.

“Right now, Jesus slots very well with Adam Lind,” Dipoto said. “We know Jesus can hit, and it’s going to be incumbent on him to come to spring training and show us he can be the other guy at first base.”

To date, the Mariners have moved 41 players on or off their 40-man roster since the end of the season.

The 19 acquisitions consist of 12 players acquired in seven trades, four free-agent signings and three waiver claims.

That includes three trades this week at the Winter Meetings, which conclude Thursday with the Rule 5 Draft.

On Monday, the Mariners responded to Hisashi Iwakuma’s decision to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers by acquiring Wade Miley along with reliever Jonathan Aro from Boston for Carson Smith and Roenis Elias.

Zobrist, signed as a free agent with the Chicago Cubs.

“We could have gone East Coast, West Coast.

But I think in the end, this was the one that really motivated me the most,” said Zobrist, the only player to appear at a news conference during the first three days of the meetings.

The 30-year-old Walker fills the hole created when playoff slugger Daniel Murphy became a free agent after New York lost the World Series to Kansas City.

“It’s an exciting opportunity, obviously, with the success the Mets have had this past year,” Walker said. “Obviously there’s mixed emotions being a born-and-bred Pittsburgher.”

Walker batted .269 with 16 homers and 71 RBI this year.

“We view him as a real positive alternative to the deal we were looking to do the other day,” Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said. “He fits on a lot of different levels — a switch-hitter, he’s got some power.”

The 29-year-old Niese became expendable with the development of young Mets aces Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz. Niese was 9-10 with a 4.13 ERA last season. A starter for years, he was shifted to the bullpen for the postseason.

The Yankees dealt Wilson, a 28-year-old lefty, to Detroit for minor league right-handers Chad Green and Luis Cessa — the latter sent by the Mets to the Tigers in the July 31 trade that brought Yoenis Cespedes to New York.

Wilson went 5-0 this year with a 3.10 ERA in 74 appearances. Earlier this offseason, the Tigers acquired closer Francisco Rodriguez and right-hander Mark Lowe.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is willing to trade left fielder Brett Gardner and closer Andrew Miller. Cashman is confident Dellin Betances could take over as closer.

“In the right circumstances, I am open to doing business,” Cashman said. “It’s more likely than not, because of the high (price) tags I’ve put out there, that we will have the same dynamic duo at the back end.”

Also:

■ Major League Baseball recommended teams have protective netting between the dugouts for any field-level seats within 70 feet of home plate, both at regular-season ballparks and spring training sites.

■ The playing rules committee met and talked about better protecting middle infielders and expects discussions to continue during the offseason.

■ Right-hander David Hernandez agreed to a $3.9 million, one-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

■ Right-hander Jeff Samardzija finalized his $90 million, five-year contract with the San Francisco Giants.

■ Second baseman Chase Utley completed his one-year deal to remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The bullpen makeover continued Tuesday in a deal that brought Evan Scribner from Oakland for minor-league reliever Trey Cochran-Gill.

Next came Wednesday’s trade to obtain Lind for three minor-league pitchers: ■ Missaki, 19, was 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA last season in six starts at Lo-A Clinton before undergoing season-ending elbow surgery.

■ Peralta, 19, was 2-3 with a 4-11 ERA in 11 games in the Arizona Rookie League.

■ Herrera, 18, was 4-2 with a 3.26 ERA in 14 starts in the Dominican Summer League.

“We’ve changed the periphery,” Dipoto said. “The base remains. (Robinson) Cano and (Kyle) Seager and Nelson Cruz and Felix Hernandez and Taijuan Walker. They’re all still here.

“What we did was we elevated the ground around them. We were going to have to create a new culture in what we were doing from the front office through the manager in the dugout to on the field and the style of play.”

Ex-Sounder Azira lone pick in MLS waiver draft Herald news services

15 pick in the waiver draft

MLS increases salary allowance Former Seattle Sounders midfielder Micheal Azira was the only player selected Wednesday in the Major League Soccer waiver draft.

Azira was picked by the Colorado Rapids with the second pick.

Azira, 28, joined the Sounders in 2014 after two seasons with the Charleston Battery of the USL. In his two seasons in Seattle, he appeared in 25 games, mostly as the backup for Osvaldo Alonso. However, he lost that job in the second half of the 2015 season and last week the club chose not to pick up his contract for 2016.

The Sounders passed on using their No.

third from Bukarts sandwiched around one from Caleb Jones — to tie the game at 10:43 in the third.

“We had the lead, and the lead was given up because we took penalties,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “They got momentum and carried it, and we couldn’t find a save.”

Portland finished 4-for-6 on the power play while Everett was 0-for-3.

Three of the Tips’ penalties came in the third period, and Portland scored on each.

“I think their power play was good tonight, but our (penalty kill) has got to be better for sure,” Everett defenseman Noah Juulsen said. “We can’t take penalties like that all night long.”

The defeat overshadowed the offensive performances turned in by Laurencelle and teammate Carson Stadnyk.

Laurencelle had a goal and two assists, while having an apparent goal called back in the first period. He also fell victim to an incredible sprawling save by

Major League Soccer is allowing teams to spend $37 million more on player salaries in the next two seasons in an effort to improve talent.

The league announced in July that each team could spend an additional $500,000 over five years on players, called Targeted Allocation Money. MLS said TAM could be used to sign or re-sign players who earn more than the maximum salary budget charge who are not highpriced designated players.

MLS said Wednesday each team can spent an additional $800,000 in TAM both in 2017 and 2018, money that must be spent within four transfer windows. The maximum budget charge next season for non-designated players is $457,500. TAM may be used to convert designated players to non-designated players.

Portland goaltender Adin Hill in the first.

Stadnyk scored twice in a wild opening period that was a harbinger of the third. The first goal came when Cole MacDonald found Stadnyk in the slot from the left wing, and Stadnyk buried the shot at 7:24 for his first goal in four games.

The Winterhawks tied it at 10:10 when Bukarts scored from the right side on Portland’s first power play of the game. Laurencelle then found Stadnyk from behind the net to reclaim the lead for Everett at 10:22.

Everett took a 2-1 lead into the second period and went on the man advantage three seconds in.

However, Alex Schoenborn tied the game with a shorthanded, unassisted goal at 1:24.

Yan Khomenko’s unassisted wrister at 3:46 in the second bounced off Portland defenseman Conor MacEachern into the net for the 3-2 lead.

Laurencelle and Christiansen then scored in quick succession to open the third and set up Portland’s comeback.

“We don’t ever score goals, so going up 5-2 was

good,” Constantine said. “I don’t even know that we had a huge change in how we played other than that we took penalties. That was the negative.”

Everett plays at Tri-City on Friday.

Notes The Silvertips scratched Patrick Bajkov, Riley Sutter, Lucas Skrumeda and Dario Winkler.

Bajkov and Sutter were sick, Skrumeda is listed as week-toweek with an upper-body injury on the WHL injury report, and Winkler is in Austria preparing for World Juniors.

Stunning elegance describes the Christmas decor in Loura and Chuck Vernosky’s Snohomish home.

Divine decorations

Loura and Chuck Vernosky’s home is dressed to the nines for Christmas Parlor Tour

Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Even their laundry room is lit up for the holiday season.

Loura and Chuck Vernosky have a Christmas decorating Jones, and people taking the annual Snohomish Christmas Parlor Tour will reap the benefits of this couple’s hard work and fabulous display.

The tour, a fundraiser for the Snohomish Historical Society, is Sunday afternoon in various neighborhoods of the city, primarily downtown.

Tickets include admission to seven private homes as well as the historical society’s Blackman House Museum and the historic Ferguson Cottage, the first Snohomish home of city founder E.C. Ferguson.

Back to the Vernosky laundry room. The dominant color here is Tiffany blue. The small silver Christmas tree in the room matches the color scheme.

Snohomish Christmas Parlor Tour is noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 13.

Start at the Blackman House Museum, 118 Ave. B, Snohomish, beginning at 11 a.m., where coffee, tea and treats will be served. Before Sunday, tickets also will be available at McDaniel’s the Do-It Center, Joyworks and Annie’s. Prices are $15 for general admission and $12 for seniors and children.

More information is at www. snohomishhistoricalsociety.org.

Vernosky lets Charlie, a macaw with a broken leg he rescued, sit on his shoulder for a few minutes.

Actually, silver, glass, white and aqua blue are the prime decorating colors throughout the house.

The entry hall, the dining room, the kitchen, the parlor and

a special room that memorializes King Richard III (“we don’t believe he was the villain”) will be open to tourists.

The theme throughout is

francophilia and anglophilia.

The couple’s trip to England and France a few years ago enhanced their love of all things French and English.

Some of what you will see: chandeliers, fleur de lis architectural elements, peacock feathers, Victorian furniture, animals and birds — both live and decorative. You’ll get to meet Charlie the macaw, Lucy the cockatoo and Poppett the parrotlet.

ussel Wright (1904-1976) worked as an industrial designer, a job created in the 20th century. In the 1920s, he worked in the theater making sets and props. After 1929, he formed a company with his wife, Mary, who was also a designer, designing furniture, radios and useful household accessories made of spun aluminum, stainless steel, paper, wood, glass, plastic and ceramics.

Wright’s most famous products are the modern dinnerwares created, beginning in 1938, for many china companies including Harker, Iroquois, Steubenville and Justin Tharaud. The “American Modern” pattern, introduced

Most collectors know about the dinnerware patterns, but few have discovered his now more expensive metal or wooden pieces. A spun aluminum bowl sells for more than $10,000, a wooden “Oceana” bowl for about $2,000 and nickel-plated bookends shaped like horses, $2,700.

Almost all of Wright’s works are signed with his name.

Q: I’d like to know the history and value of my three-drawer chest made by “Brandt” of Hagerstown, Maryland. I’m 83 years old and this chest belonged to my mother.

A: Brandt Furniture Co. was established in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1901. The company went out of business in 1985.

Former employees reopened the factory in 1986 and continue to operate it as a small family business. One Brandt table has an unusual history. Some say papers containing secret information about the U.S. atomic bomb were photographed lying on a Brandt table that belonged to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. In 1953, the couple was convicted of conspiring to pass information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.

The photograph was one of the pieces of evidence that helped convict the couple. Brandt chests sell as used furniture, not added antique value, for $150 or so.

SANDRA SCHUMACHER

PAWPAW Asimina Tribola “Taylor”

WHAT: PAWPAW Asimina Tribola “Taylor” This deciduous tree is native to the temperate woodlands of the eastern United States. The discovery of fossils indicate that it is indigenous to this part of the world, likely carried west and south by native Americans.

It has been grown with success in the Pacific Northwest as it requires some winter chill and at least 160 frost-free days. Its long dark green leaves definitely give it a tropical appearance. In the fall, the leaves turn yellow before falling off, and later produces dark brown soft buds in the spring that open to

maroon flowers. The fruit on the “Taylor” cultivar is small but delicious, and ripens between August and October.

SUN OR SHADE: Needs dappled sun for at least the first two years, so a tree shade cloth would be wise, followed by full sun exposure thereafter.

SIZE: Mature height is 12 to 20 feet; it is a slow grower when young.

SEE IT: WSU Master Gardener Discovery Garden, WSU NW Washington Research & Education Center, 16650 State Route 536, Mt. Vernon.

on their house in between fisheries.

Fishing is what got him out to the Northwest 35 years ago.

“We grew up in whitetrash central Florida,” Chuck said. “So you can imagine how much we love Washington state.”

He and Loura lived on San Juan Island and at Storm Lake before moving to Snohomish more than a year ago.

Their house had not been occupied for a while

and needed to be gutted, and the gold, duct-taped wall-to-wall carpet yanked from the floor.

“We’ve been married nearly 27 years, and in that time we have collected a lot of Christmas decorations. We decorate around Thanksgiving every year — though a little earlier this year — and sometimes we leave it all up through January.

We have a garage full of totes to protect it all.”

Loura, the eyes-peeled

for deals and cool stuff, artistic part of the duo, is balanced by Chuck’s work ethic and pure love of decorating for Christmas.

“Loura has the wild ideas, but I just keep to a tradition that was started by my dad,” he said. “We just make a big deal of decorating. We have a good time doing things together.

Christmas is definitely our favorite time of year.”

Five ways to stay warm at home homes, whether they’re powered by electricity, propane, natural gas or oil. Many energy-efficient eco-friendly models are available. Talk to specialist retailers to find one whose price falls within your budget and that will meet your home heating needs.

1468821

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

GET READY FOR WINTER

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

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

Hardware

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

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

Some great gifts for the gardener in your life N

eed a break from all those chores I left you with last week? Can’t face moving one more bale of compost?

Tired of raking the neverending litter from that massive wind storm? Take a break and go have some fun looking for gifts for the gardener in your life, even if it is only you. Here are some ideas to start: Radius tools. These are the tools with the funny looking colorful circular handles that are designed to reduce fatigue. They come in two styles, the Pro Series, which are professional grade and retail for approximately $60, and the Pro-Lite Series, which sell for around $40. Both

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER are quality tools that will last a lifetime. Generally, men prefer the heavier Pro Series, while women gravitate to the lighter Pro-Lite styles You will find shovels, forks, edgers, weeders, transplanters and just about every configuration you can imagine in these well-made tools.

Despite their goofy look,

these round handles actually work.

Botanical Interest seed sprouter. Here’s an idea that harkens back to my hippie days when I used to make my own yogurt and mayonnaise and grow most of my own food.

Sprouting seeds is easy and a nutritious way to eat your vegetables whether you put them on sandwiches, salads or blend them into your smoothie. Botanical Interest has a wonderful collection of different types of seeds suitable for sprouting so you don’t have to settle for just alfalfa or mung beans. Cost of the sprouter runs around $24 and the assorted seed packets range from $2.99

to $3.99.

Sloggers footwear. It’s the rainy season and every gardener needs a pair of rubber boots or at least some slip on waterproof shoes. For less than $40 you can purchase a very colorful and decorative pair of sloggers that will keep your feet dry and put a smile on your face at the same time.

The Farmer’s Almanac booklet and calendar.

Both of these sell for less than $10 so they make good stocking stuffers, and while most of what the almanac says should be taken with a huge grain of salt, it is still fun to read (sorry if that sounds like blasphemy to all the almanac devotees).

The calendar is especially

nice as each month has a different illustration.

Hummingbird feeders. Don’t forget that our feathered friends often depend on us to help them survive the winter. If you want hummingbirds to stick around then you will need to put out a feeder. We have a pair of hummingbirds in the nursery that greet us every morning waiting to be fed. For less than $20, get a plastic feeder or for more than $40 get a glass one, add a packet of food and you too can enjoy the antics of these incredible little birds all winter long. While you are at it, also consider purchasing some suet for the rest of the birds in your garden.

Maritme Northwest Garden Guide. This is a locally produced bible on growing fruits and veggies in the Pacific Northwest. It’s great reading material for those winter days when it is too cold or wet to go outside.

They sell for less than $20 and will become one of your favorite reference books whether you are a casual or hardcore gardener.

Hope this gives you some ideas to get started on. I will have a few more next week for you procrastinators who still haven’t got into gear.

Pantone color pick serves up a double dose of sugar

By Kim Palmer

2016 colors

Minneapollis Star Tribune

Rose Quartz and Serenity, Pantone 13-1520 and Pantone 15-3919, are the colors of the year for 2016.

A softer take on color for 2016: For the first time, the industry leader chose two colors.

Kovel

A double serving of hisand-hers cotton candy.

That’s one way to describe this year’s much-anticipated Color of the Year pick from the Pantone Color Institute.

For the first time, the industry color authority chose not one, but two colors — both as soft and sweet as a nursery: palest pink and baby blue, aka Rose Quartz and Serenity.

It’s all about the blend, declared Pantone in announcing the pick.

Choosing two hues with gender symbolism reflects the gender blur and fluidity that is taking place in fashion and the culture at large.

Q: My husband and I would like to sell a vase set that was a gift years ago from someone who traveled to Alaska. We think it’s made of ivory.

It’s finely carved with stems and flowers and has three vases, one shaped like a small bowl.

The whole thing measures about 7 by 7 inches.

Any clue what it might be worth?

A: You have a smoking

Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

“Wow! At first blush — no pun intended — this is a bit of a shocker,” said Keri Olson of KOR Interior Design, reacting to the newly anointed duo. “But taking a deeper look, it’s telling.”

Both are peaceful colors, she noted.

“I think that is something everyone would like a little more of, everywhere.”

Peace was, indeed, on Pantone’s mind, according to Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman in a release announcing the pick. “Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection

and wellness, as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.”

Today’s consumers seek “mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern-day stresses,” Pantone noted. Baby-soft colors provide a welcome psychological security blanket.

The new color duo follows last year’s ruddybrown Marsala, a sharp

(Remember Radiant Orchid and Tangerine Tango?)

It’s easy to picture baby pink and blue showing up on cuddly sweaters, but will these hues cross over from fashion to furniture and interior design?

They already have, according to Olson. “There was a lot of this pink at the recent High Point Furniture Market, so the industry is reflecting this already.”

And they’re not as saccharine as they first appear.

“Both are soft subtle shades we associate with babies, yet they have dusty undertones that make them more interesting,” Olson noted.

Olson thinks both colors will marry well with the grays and deep browns that currently play a strong role in contemporary color palettes.

“Mixing metals with these two colors will be fun,” she said.

Pantone is the go-to authority on color trends, but many paint companies and other industry players also make their Color of the Year picks.

Usually, these choices vary widely, but this year, there seemed to be some consensus that color trends are moving to the very pale end of the spectrum.

Four different paint companies chose a white or off-white as their Color of the Year.

Wife who cheated should seek therapy

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Last month while on a business trip, I cheated on my husband.

Our marriage has been rocky for years, but I’ve never even thought about cheating. This is clearly a sign that I need to sit down and either resolve the issues with my husband or move on; we can’t stay in this “rocky” state perpetually.

But I don’t want to have that conversation two weeks before Christmas. I’ve already been dealing with this stress for the last month and it’s taken a toll on me physically, but I need to get through the holidays (parties, family events) before I can have a real heart-toheart with my husband. How do I keep the stress of this from eating away at me for the next few weeks?

— Cheated Therapy, stat. For you alone now, and only as a couple later if it’s applicable. That is, assuming you’re in a part of the world well stocked with mental-health professionals, which is unfortunately not always the case.

If you’re not, then an Al-anon meeting might actually provide refuge, even though on its face it might not seem like a good fit. It’s free, it’s accessible in most locations, and it’s all about learning to let go. If you

and whose marriage is now considerably better.

— Anonymous Helpful, thanks.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT find it’s useful to you, you also don’t have to wait for a next appointment to go again.

While I’m not a huge fan of putting things off because “before Christmas” is taboo, it actually sounds as if you would benefit from some time spent sorting through your thoughts and feelings before you tackle this. Good luck.

For Cheated: Individual counseling will help you sort out what you’re feeling, why you cheated, and what you’re feeling about the marriage now so you can figure out how to present it to him.

It also might be best if you tell him after the holidays within the confines of the therapist’s office.

That way, the therapist can help guide you through it. Signed, someone who had an emotional affair who followed those steps

CLASSIC PEANUTS

Dear Carolyn: Why do men pull away? Just when everything is going great?

I am so tired of hearing, “It’s not you, it’s me.” And the thing is ... they are right! It would be easy to attribute it to another woman or wanting to sleep around, but none of that applies to the last four guys I dated. So what gives?

— WHY WHY WHY? No, they’re not right, said the jolly old elf. Or at least they might not be.

When one person pulls away just as things are going great, then it’s not you, it’s the other person, most likely. But when it happens a fourth time in a row, you have to face the fact of you as the common denominator.

I’m not necessarily saying there’s something about you that sends them running — it could also be that you’re attracted to a common quality in them, and it’s that quality or trait that gets in the way.

It is always possible it’s a run of bad luck, yes, but if you don’t at least look for common themes in you, the risk of a fifth bailout is a real one.

Boy’s mom leery of serious relationship Dear Abby: I’m 13 and in what I think is a serious relationship with “Josh.”

The problem is, his mom thinks I’m “mentally abusing” him. I have never done anything to Josh to make her think that. She and I have had our disagreements, but nothing like this has ever happened.

I don’t want to lose him because of what his mom thinks of me. — Puzzled In Indiana Dear Puzzled: You didn’t mention how old Josh is and how he feels about all the attention you’re giving him, but I can offer a couple of suggestions. The first is to slow down. Take a step back so Josh can have some breathing room. The second is to try to make a friend of Josh’s mother, who may be worried about a 13-year-old girl who seems fixated on her son.

Dear Abby: I remarried when my son, “Kevin,” was 5. He’s now 20. My husband has always tried to be a good dad to him even though Kevin was challenging at times.

Kevin is in the military.

Before he left, he adopted a dog, “Leisel.” Kevin will be deployed overseas for three years and wants us to take her. We have a dog and cat, a big yard and three teenage daughters who want Leisel, but my husband says no. He says it was a mistake to get the dog in the first place, and Kevin needs to learn a lesson and do the hard thing and give her up. I agree it was a mistake, and I don’t really want another dog, but I’m willing to do it for my son. Who is right? — Willing To Do It In West Virginia Dear Willing: You are.

heating up as it seems to be, there’s no telling where your son could wind up being stationed. Let him go with peace of mind knowing his pet will be well cared for until he returns.

Dear Abby: You probably wonder why I think this is a problem, but it is for me. I’m a single male, almost 77, who can easily pass for 50 or 55.

The problem is friends, acquaintances and some strangers (in their 40s, 50s and 60s) think that because I look so much younger than my age, I should be able to perform the same physical tasks they do, which I can’t. I have the same aches and pains as anyone else my age.

I’m flattered that I look younger, but how do I explain that because I look 50 to 55, doesn’t mean I necessarily feel that way.

— Young/Old In California Dear Young/Old: I have news for you. There are plenty of people half your age who also have physical problems that prevent them from performing certain tasks — including bad backs, bad knees, rotator cuff injuries and more.

Because someone looks great doesn’t necessarily mean that the person IS 100 percent. If you are asked to do something beyond your ability, be honest about it and say no.

Don’t worry, ‘Saul’ will return

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Five of the 10 most popular tweets of 2015 had something to do with British boy band One Direction.

The 10 most popular tweets of 2015 Of the 10 most popular messages posted to Twitter in the past year, we can conclude two things: Teens still rule the social Web, and Harry Styles is the best member of One Direction.

Here’s the full list: 1. Harry Styles of One Direction loving his fans.

2. Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction, on his ex-band’s new single.

3. Liam Payne of One Direction thanking his bandmates.

4. POTUS celebrating the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

5. Louis Tomlinson of One Direction wishing love to “you guys”.

6. King Salman after his crowning.

7. Niall Horan of One Direction wishing his bandmate happy birthday.

8. Kanye West being “inspirational”.

9. Leonard Nimoy’s last tweet.

10. Caitlyn Jenner’s first tweet.

Q: My wife and I both loved “Breaking Bad,” which led us into its spinoff, “Better Call Saul.”

We’ve been waiting for its second season to start but haven’t heard or seen the slightest mention of it anywhere. Did the network nix it? If not, where can we find it?

A: The prequel to “Breaking Bad,” which had a terrific first season, will be back for a second one on AMC on Feb. 15.

The network promises “surprising, left-handed turns” in the second season. And, says AMC: “Season One found Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) stumble upon a large class-action lawsuit, which led to a promising job opportunity at a large firm. Having arrived at a fork in the road, will Jimmy take the straight and narrow path with a safe corporate job or will he fall back into his ‘Slippin’ Jimmy’ con-artist ways?”

The first season, by the way, is on DVD, Blu-ray and digital video.

Q: The show “Las Vegas” starring James Caan was tremendous.

Why was it taken off the air? Where can I see all the episodes?

A: The series was canceled in 2008 after five seasons, when its ratings were in decline and, according to reports, the cost of starting up again after a prolonged
