Jail death settled for $4M Keaton Farris, who suffered from mental illness, had not been checked on for hours before he was found dead April 8.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

COUPEVILLE — The family of a man who died of dehydration and malnutrition in the Island County Jail has reached a $4 million

settlement with three counties.

As part of the settlement, Island County has agreed that a corrections expert hired to evaluate the lockup’s operations will monitor the jail for the next 18 months.

Phil Stanley made a series of

recommendations in October to improve medical care for inmates, including more attention to those with mental illness and serious health conditions.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said several improvements have been made and more are under way, based on Stanley’s recommendations.

“The family acknowledges that

Island County has taken measures and has promised more. We hope now that the civil part is over that we can even work together with them to ensure that it becomes a model jail and there is appropriate care for the humans housed there,” Fred Farris said Thursday.

Investors’ status uncertain Federal officials want to end accused developer’s role in visa program

DAN BATES / THE HERALD

Pedestrians are separated from the Potala Market (ground floor) by a chain link fence early Tuesday morning outside Potala Place and Market at 2900 Grand Avenue in Everett. The market’s developer, Lobsang Dargey, is facing allegations that he misused millions in foreign investors’ money.

Police seek booze ban The Alcohol Impact Area, which forbids the sale of certain beverages in specific locations in Everett, is now voluntary.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

Everett’s police force wants to strengthen the city’s restrictions on selling certain cheap alcoholic beverages in parts of the city.

In April the city of Everett enacted an Alcohol Impact Area to reduce the amount of problems associated with inexpensive, high-proof beverages.

The ordinance as written called for the city’s retailers in the area to voluntarily not sell certain products that are associated with incidents of littering, trespassing, criminal mischief and theft.

After six months, only 15 percent of the affected retailers have heeded the call, Everett Police Lt. Bruce Bosman said, and there has only been a slight dip in the number of alcohol-involved incidents.

He asked the City Council to make the ban mandatory.

“Property owners and Public Works have made an extreme effort to keep up with the debris out there, but it’s still a problem,” Bosman said.

Alcohol Impact Areas are allowed under state law, provided they target a specific geographic area and a list of specific products.

The ordinance, passed by the council in April, creates impact areas in the downtown core, in south Everett near Paine Field and Cascade High School, along Broadway north of 41st Street, and along the whole length of Evergreen Way. After the ordinance passed, Bosman said he reached out to each of the 101 retailers in the affected areas to explain the new rules and ask them to stop selling the 20 products on the list.

He also invited all the businesses and neighborhood groups to one of two public meetings to discuss their interests.

Study: Living together is basically marriage

By Lauren McEwen The Washington Post

It has been long understood that marriage provided more emotional health benefits than cohabiting or dating. But that’s showing signs of shifting.

Young people are choosing to live with their significant others before, or instead of, getting hitched.

For “emerging adults,” or those in their 20s, cohabitation might offer the same

emotional health benefits as marriage, according to a recent study published by the Journal of Family Psychology.

Using data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Sara E. Mernitz and Claire Kamp Dush from Ohio State University looked at what happens when young people cohabitate, transition into marriage or progress from a first to second cohabitation — and how men and women

experience these changes differently.

Although there’s a lot of research that examines marriage and health, more broadly, Mernitz said in a phone interview, “we now have more advanced statistical methods that allow us to look at the change as an individual experiences this transition from cohabitation to marriage.”

For some of the people surveyed, living with their partner proved just as

1464812

result to Mernitz was that women seem to benefit from cohabitation more than men do. The researchers think it might have something to do with the fact that women and men view living together differently.

Some past research, for example, “has really shown that men are more likely to view cohabitation as a trial run or testing period for marriage and may not be taking it as seriously as women, or at least the

women in our study,” Mernitz said.

She did add that past research has shown that women don’t like to cohabit for long if marriage isn’t on the horizon.

The older we get, the more important romantic relationships can be for our emotional health.

In the study, emotional health was measured by looking at depressive or anxiety symptoms, but not diagnoses of depression.

Visa: Future of controversial program unclear From Page A1

The agency authorizes regional centers as part of its EB-5 program.

That program allows foreign nationals to invest in developments promoting economic growth in the U.S. in exchange for a shortcut to applying for a U.S. green card.

Dargey’s projects sought to meet the economic growth requirement by creating jobs in the U.S. Under that requirement, foreign investors had to put in at least $500,000 to directly create or retain 10 full-time jobs here.

Regional centers process investors’ petitions for visas. They do not control the development project.

The USCIS can revoke a regional center’s status for several reasons, including failing to promote economic growth, according to an agency spokesman speaking on background.

If that happens, any pending applications for

resident status associated with the center will be denied.

Nationally, the future of the controversial EB-5 program was unclear Thursday afternoon.

It expires at the end of Friday. Supporters in Congress have been scrambling to rally support for renewing a modified version of the program as part of an omnibus spending bill that is expected to go to a vote Friday.

Lawmakers were still negotiating language this week, so it is not completely clear what it would look like if it is renewed.

A draft released Wednesday included language protecting investors who see their petitions scrapped when a regional center’s status is revoked, said Dan Lundy, an immigration attorney who has reviewed a copy of the draft.

Lundy and his firm, Philadelphia’s Klasko Immigration Law Partners, represent two Chinese nationals who invested in Potala Tower

beneficial as marriage.

“Past studies that compared those that are married and those that are cohabitating always found this sort of marriage benefit,” Mernitz said. “But even when we look at individuals who transition from a current cohabitation into marriage, that transition into marriage didn’t really provide any additional emotional health benefits and we kind of thought it would.”

The most surprising

in Seattle.

According to Lundy, based on his conversations with attorneys representing other clients, many of Dargey’s investors want to keep their money in the projects, hoping that work resumes, as well as their chances for visas. “In fact, some may be willing to put in more money” to keep the projects alive.

Lundy’s clients are still considering their options, he said.

The court has allowed several investors to withdraw their money, which was still in escrow accounts. The SEC did not oppose those investors, as Dargey had not yet done anything with their money.

The SEC has opposed efforts by other investors to withdraw their money, which had been at least partially moved out of escrow.

It is not clear if or how their money was used by Dargey, the SEC said in court documents.

The court-appointed

receiver, Michael Grassmueck, is still sorting through the messy and intertwined fiscal relationships between Dargey’s companies.

Dargey’s Potala Place and Farmer’s Market in Everett is far enough along that Grassmueck “tentatively concluded” that the project “should be completed, if possible,” he told the court in a report filed in mid-November.

However, he said, he did not have enough information to say that for sure, or when it might happen.

He declined to comment Thursday.

Dargey used money raised for the Everett project and Potala Tower, a planned skyscraper in Seattle, on other developments in Shoreline and Kirkland. The money was also spent to help Dargey buy a luxury home in Bellevue, shop at upscale stores and for trips to casinos in Washington and Las Vegas, according to the SEC lawsuit.

Dargey’s companies

and other entities “are, structurally and functionally, intertwined, and have been treated and operated essentially as a unitary enterprise,” with money regularly mixed and moved between them, Grassmueck said in his report.

The fraud allegations against Dargey actually seemed to give a boost to people asking about renting apartments in the 220-unit Potala Place in Everett.

The building is more than half rented out, building manager Bill Crosthwait said. He works for Allied Residential, a third-party company hired to run the building.

The ground floor shops’ opening has been pushed back again to early next year, at least eight months later than initially planned, according to people familiar with the project.

Maltby-area fires have been ruled arsons

By Rikki King Herald Writers

MALTBY — Two fires at a construction site near Maltby early Wednesday morning have been ruled arsons.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office is asking for tips from the public. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction, investigator Ed Hardesty said Thursday.

Two homes under construction were damaged and another was nearly gutted, said Heather Chadwick, a spokeswoman for

Fire District 7. The initial damage estimate is $500,000.

There were at least two separate fires, and a third attempted arson, Hardesty said.

“At this time I have no suspects,” he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call a national hotline, 800-55-ARSON, or the Fire Marshal’s Office at 425-388-3557. Tips can be anonymous.

The two-alarm fire was reported just before 6:30 a.m.

Wednesday along 188th Street SE near Broadway Avenue. Dawn broke about 40 minutes later.

Crews arrived to find flames shooting from one house under construction and smoke coming from a second house. Signs of another ignition were found in a third house in the final stages of construction.

The property owner arrived at the scene after learning of the fires. The man was taken to a hospital to be checked, Chadwick said. It was unclear Thursday whether he had suffered a medical emergency or had injuries from the fire.

The location is just a few miles from Echo Lake Road. In 2008, a

nearby development in that area was the scene of the “Street of Dreams” arsons. Several luxury homes were destroyed or damaged — about $7 million worth of property.

A banner at the 2008 crime scene featured the initials “E.L.F.” It led investigators to suspect involvement by the Earth Liberation Front, a band of environmental terrorists responsible for setting many blazes in the west. The Street of Dreams arsons were never solved. The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

Explosives were involved in that investigation.

In 2004, a note mentioning ELF was discovered near several bottles of gasoline and makeshift fuses at another development near Maltby.

Investigators Thursday gave no indication there was any connection between Wednesday’s arsons and those from years ago.

There was “no evidence that would suggest they are related,” Hardesty said.

“He was diagnosed in 2009 before the Christmas holidays.

BELLINGHAM — Charges have been filed against a Western Washington University student from Granite Falls who allegedly wrote “let’s lynch her” on the social media platform Yik Yak. Tysen Dane Campbell, 19, has been charged in Whatcom County Superior Court with malicious harassment under Washington state’s hate crime law for posting the comment directed at WWU Associated Students President Belina Seare.

The charges reveal that the comment was made in response to a Yik Yak post that claimed Seare, who is black, called white college students “baby KKK” on her Facebook page. Some replies urge someone to screen shot that message, and one comment says, “let’s lynch her.” One user, following the threatening post, responds with “too far,” according to charges.

Under state law, malicious harassment is a hate crime covering threats based on a victim’s “race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or mental, physical, or sensory handicap.”

Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard has said the post was part of the reason he canceled classes Nov. 24 to protect students’ safety. Campbell was arrested less than a week later.

He has been suspended and barred from campus.

The post was made from Western’s campus Nov. 22, according to the charges. Yik Yak produced records in compliance with a search warrant issued by Whatcom County Superior Court. University police identified Campbell as the person associated with the cellphone used to post the comment.

On Nov. 30, university police contacted Campbell on campus. He admitted he made the post and that he deleted it soon after, according to charges.

Thompson joined other volunteers Tuesday morning to decorate different rooms of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints at 17222 43rd Ave. NE. More helpers were scheduled to arrive in the afternoon and Wednesday to finish setting up.

Their main focus was the gym and chapel, where roughly 500

nativity sets, dozens of poinsettias, thousands of Christmas lights and a handful of decorated trees were being arranged for the church’s fourth Arlington Nativity Festival.

The celebration started Thursday and continues through Sunday. The church is open to the public from 5:30. to 8:30 p.m.

Friday and from 3 to 8:30 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.

More than 500 volunteers are helping with the festival, which started five years ago. It wasn’t held last year but they hope to make it an annual event.

They baked about 1,500 cookies for guests and set up an area where children can play and make crafts. They have two lifesized stable scenes and boxes of nativity-inspired costumes.

Morgan at a Marysville restaurant. She had encountered him more than a year ago through an online brain cancer support group. During his travels, Rodriguez has visited with others he met online because of cancer.

“With brain cancer, there are not a lot of support groups around,” said Morgan, who receives Social Security disability benefits. “I would have to go to Seattle. Most of the people I’ve met have been over the Internet.”

By Thursday, Rodriguez had raised $4,450 for his effort through GoFundMe, a fundraising website. He is posting travel pictures on Facebook, on a page called “The Mission: cycling for brain cancer awareness.”

On the GoFundMe page, Rodriguez wrote that he promised his brother he would bike from Florida to California as a way to draw people’s attention to brain cancer. As for fundraising to fight the disease, Rodriguez said he hopes people contribute to organizations that battle cancer and help patients.

This is his second longhaul endurance test for the cause. By this time last

year, he had ridden from his home in Jacksonville, Florida, to Maine. Along the way, he met Anthony Fratto, mayor of the village of Phoenix, New York, who battled brain cancer before he died in August.

“There’s a network of people. We all talk to each other about brain cancer,” he said Thursday. “It’s larger than I ever knew,” he said, listing notable victims of the disease: Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau Biden, Sen. Edward Kennedy, NFL Films cofounder Steve Sabol and Major League Baseball’s Tug McGraw.

“We need more awareness of brain cancer,” agreed Morgan, the mother of two grown children and a grandmother of three.

Rodriguez, who rides a KHS hybrid road and speed bike, has camped or stayed with supporters along the way. With this week’s stormy weather, Morgan helped him get a hotel room in Marysville on Wednesday. And Marysville’s La Hacienda gave him dinner. In other places, he has stayed in firehouses and churches.

Man trapped by floodwaters is rescued Herald staff CLEARVIEW — Snohomish County’s major rivers are receding after this week’s surge of rain, but flood-related problems continue.

A man in his 70s was rescued just before 8 a.m.

Thursday near the intersection of Connelly Road and Elliott Road near Snohomish. His car was trapped in swift-moving flood waters, said Heather Chadwick,

spokeswoman for Fire District 7 in Clearview.

A team of rescue swimmers helped the man into a boat, she said. He was taken to a hospital to be checked.

The Snohomish River crested Wednesday evening but rose and dipped again after dawn Thursday, said Ni Cushmeer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle.

As of Thursday afternoon, the water level was

just below major flood stage, she said.

The Skykomish and Stillaguamish rivers also were receding.

That is the likely end of this round of flooding, with lighter rainfall expected in the mountains over the next few days.

Between Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, roughly 2 inches of rain fell in the lowlands of Snohomish County, Cushmeer said.

Choir and orchestra performances are planned for Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m. Local pianists, harpists, violinists, singers and

flutists have volunteered to play during the rest of the festival. A “Rejoice in Christ� exhibit takes up another room of the church, with paintings of Jesus hung on a backdrop of burlap and a mural of Bethlehem.

All of the nativities and paintings are loaned to the church by members of the

congregation and others in the community. One local collector let them borrow more than 50 nativity sets from her home. “This brings in my friends and neighbors and gets the Christmas season started,� Thompson said. “It feels like Christmas after the festival starts.�

Janice Dickson loves the

nativity festival because it opens the church’s doors to everyone, she said. It’s for the whole community to enjoy. “The basic feeling of it is it’s all about the nativities and Christ,� she said. “It’s not just about our church.�

Fellow volunteer Jeanie Andelin is a fan of the Rejoice in Christ exhibit,

which she helped coordinate. The gym full of nativities and poinsettias is stunning, she said, but the paintings in the smaller, quieter room really hit home for her. “To me, that’s the heart of Christmas,� she said. “Christ is the heart of Christmas.�

The Arlington festival was inspired by a similar

event in Bellevue, volunteer Laurie O’Bryant said.

The church has hosted Christmas concerts for years but the nativity festival has been a welcome addition, she said.

Associated Press SNOHOMISH — A former bodyguard for Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy is accused of gun charges.

KING-TV reported that Schuyler Barbeau was arrested in Snohomish County. The FBI said he was in possession of an unregistered AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle and was trying to sell it.

According to court documents, an FBI informant was invited to a ranch in Springdale, where Barbeau was staying, to look at the gun. Barbeau was employed by Bundy, who became a figurehead for states’ rights after a standoff in April 2014 with the Bureau of Land Management.

Hate From Page A3

When police asked Campbell how he thought Seare would feel about the comment, according to charges, he answered “she would feel threatened” and “oppressed by white people,” but that this was not the reaction he was looking for when he posted the comment.

He also acknowledged he knew what lynching was and that he associated it with the Ku Klux Klan.

He said he did not actually intend to lynch anybody, the charges state.

Leading up to the Yik Yak threat, there had been discussion at WWU about changing the Western mascot from a Viking to something more inclusive.

Communications professor Michael Karlberg expressed his opinion about the mascot in a letter to Seare and the Associated Students vice president for diversity, Abby Ramos, in July. Western’s campus

newspaper, The Western Front, published an article quoting Karlberg and Ramos on the mascot issue.

The day before Shepard made the decision to cancel classes, Ramos alerted Seare to the lynching comment. Seare feared for her safety, in part due to the significance of the term “lynching” and “the recent social media climate surrounding the mascot issue,” according to charges.

The two students met with university police that night about the threatening posts on social media.

“Seare, who was crying and visibly upset, said she was ‘petrified to even leave the police station’ that evening,” charges state.

Campbell, who was on the university’s track team, has returned to live with his family in Granite Falls.

He posted $10,000 bail following his arrest and was released from jail Dec. 1.

Campbell graduated from Granite Falls High School with honors in spring 2014, according to the Granite Falls School District.

Tom Eadie, who serves

on the Granite Falls School Board, said Campbell was a straight-A student, captain of the football team and homecoming prince. Eadie said he knew Campbell for more than 15 years.

Eadie said this was an example of a good kid with “not a racist bone in his body” who made a dumb comment that could change the rest of his life. He said that when people post threatening comments online, nobody knows if that person is actually going to carry out those threats, even if there may be no intent to do so.

“I think kids need to learn that lesson,” said Eadie, who added, “What he did was grievous, and he should pay the consequences.”

WWU officials have said there were other threatening posts on made on social media prior to the closure of classes, but so far no other arrests have been made.

Campbell was scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment Friday.

Barbara was born on Februar y 2, 1945 in Seattle, Washington. She was the oldest of three children.

She graduated from Queen Anne High School in 1962.

She was a gif ted singer, choir director, writer, and loved to travel.

Barbara lived out her Christian faith in service to others. She opened her home to m a ny p e o p l e ove r t h e y e a r s , a n d n ev e r t u r n e d away someone in need. She always believed the best in people no matter their past m i s t a ke s o r m i s fo r t u n e s .

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.

S h e m a d e m a ny l i fe - l o n g 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 of ten were c o m m e n te d o n b y h i r i n g staf f 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 her self and of f ice space in her home. She sponsored several children in Africa from grade school th roug h col l eg e, w h o are n ow s u c c e s s f u l b u s i n e s s people, benefitting their respective countries in amazing ways.

In 2013, after being widowed from Donald J. Harmon, Barbara and Ken Kappel found true love again and married. They were able to enjoy some great trips around the U.S. visiting friends and family during their time together.

T h ro u g h o u t h e r i l l n e s s , Ken was faithfully by her side.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Ken Kappel; son, Curtis Dimmick of Panacea, Florida; Lesa Perrault of Sarasota, Florida, and Sharelle Fisher of Scottsdale, Arizona.

Canada welcomes refugees The Washington Post On Thursday, the Toronto Star, a major Canadian daily, published a front page welcoming Syrian refugees to Canada. Beneath a picture of a bucolic scene ran an editorial that welcomed Syrian refugees.

The first batch of arrivals are to land in Toronto this week; the Canadian government intends to bring over at least 25,000 Syrian refugees by early next year.

“You’re with family now,” the Star’s editorial read. “And your presence among us makes our Christmas season of peace and

joy just that much brighter.”

The newspaper’s editorial line is traditionally left-of-center and currently in accord with the new Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who made the issue of Canada’s responsibility to refugees part of his election platform.

The editorial assures Syrian refugees that they will find a real home in Canada: “You’ll find the place a little bigger than Damascus or Aleppo, and a whole lot chillier. But friendly for all that.

We’re a city that cherishes its diversity; it’s our strength.

Canadians have been watching

your country being torn apart, and know that you’ve been through a terrifying, heartbreaking nightmare. But that is behind you now. And we’re eager to help you get a fresh start.”

The tone here is starkly different to that being aired in the United States. The prospect of jihadist violence and infiltration in the West — though totally separate from the plight of Syrian refugees — has led to a host of American politicians calling for a halt to refugee arrivals. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has used the

present moment to grandstand against all Muslims.

Trudeau’s election victory came amid a controversial debate over Muslim integration in Canada, stoked as a wedge issue by the then-ruling Conservatives. The triumphant Liberals hailed their success as a repudiation of xenophobia.

“Multiculturalism isn’t an experiment anymore,” Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s defense minister and one of four Sikh cabinet ministers, told WorldViews last month. “My kids think like Canadians, and they don’t know anything else.”

Bergdahl’s captivity In an NPR podcast, he describes his five years as a captive of the Taliban.

Los Angeles Times HOUSTON — For the first time Thursday, the world heard Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl describe his 2009 capture in Afghanistan and the nearly five years of captivity that followed.

“I can’t scream, I can’t risk that, so it’s like you’re standing there screaming in your mind.

In this room, in this blackened dirt room, it’s tiny,” Bergdahl said in the first episode in National Public Radio’s “Serial” podcast, which will focus on his case.

“And just on the side of that flimsy wooden door that you could probably easily rip off the hinges is the entire world out there. It is everything that you’re missing, it is everybody, everyone is out there.

You know, that breath that you’re trying to breathe, that release that you’re trying to get — everything is beyond that door. And, I mean” — Bergdahl paused — “I hate doors now.”

Bergdahl, 29, of Hailey, Idaho, has been charged with desertion and “misbehavior before the enemy” after disappearing from his post in eastern Afghanistan in June 2009. If his case goes to courtmartial and he is convicted of the more serious misbehavior charge, he faces a potential life sentence.

Bergdahl allegedly walked away from his unit after

The men in the U.S. military’s most dangerous jobs care little about political correctness or gender equality. And they have a message for their political leadership. When they are fighting in the shadows or bleeding on the battlefield, women have no place on their teams.

In blunt and, at times, profane answers to a survey conducted by the Rand Corp., more than 7,600 of America’s special operations forces spoke with nearly one voice. Allowing women to serve in Navy SEAL, Army Delta or other commando units could hurt their effectiveness and lower the standards, and it may drive men away from the dangerous posts.

An overwhelming majority of those who agreed to respond to the survey said they believe women don’t have the physical strength or mental toughness to do the grueling jobs.

Some of the broader conclusions of the survey, taken from May through July 2014, were disclosed earlier this year, but the detailed results and comments written by respondents had not been released.

The Pentagon released the

White House seeks expanded gun checks WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s advisers are finalizing a proposal that would expand background checks on gun sales without congressional approval. A White House adviser said the president has asked his team to complete a proposal and submit it for his review “in short order.” She said the recommendations will include measures to expand background checks.

After the mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, Obama said his team was looking for ways to tighten gun laws without a vote in Congress. White House officials have said they’re exploring closing the so-called “gun show loophole” that allows people to buy weapons at gun shows and online without a background check.

More drone pilots planned The Air Force said it plans to more than double the number of squadrons that fly drones, and will spread them out in more locations across the U.S. and overseas. The decision would add about 3,000 personnel, including at least 700 more pilots, 700 sensor operators, and other maintenance and crew. There are currently eight squadrons. Pentagon officials have repeatedly said they need more unmanned aircraft for intelligence gathering and attack missions.

Fed workers endorse Clinton The largest union representing federal employees endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Thursday, calling her “a powerful ally in the ongoing fight to raise wages, create good jobs, expand benefits, and preserve workplace rights.” The American Federation of Government Employees said it interviewed Clinton and rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, before making the choice. A statement from the group did not mention the third Democrat in the race, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

Iowa: Cruz endorsement Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl sits in a vehicle guarded by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan.

Podcast: https:// >> Serial serialpodcast.org expressing misgivings about the military’s role in Afghanistan. He was then captured by the Taliban and held by members of the militant Haqqani network based in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Last year, he was freed after President Barack Obama agreed to release five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo Bay in a controversial prisoner exchange.

An Army officer has recommended that Bergdahl’s case be referred to a special courtmartial, a misdemeanor-level forum, but the final decision

rests with a general overseeing the case. It’s not clear when he will announce his decision, and Army officials declined to comment on the case Thursday.

Bergdahl did not testify at a September preliminary hearing at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, where he continues to serve.

He has refused interviews since his release, but his attorney, Eugene Fidell, said he made an exception for the “Serial” podcast, based on phone conversations he had with filmmaker Mark Boal, writer and producer of “The Hurt Locker” and “Zero Dark Thirty.”

VOICE OF JIHAD WEBSITE

Fidell called it a “gripping ... high-quality production.”

“I think people will learn a lot from it,” Fidell said Thursday. “Our view is that the more information everyone has the better.”

At one point in the podcast, Bergdahl explained to Boal the meaning of the term DUSTWUN: “the radio signal that’s put out over the radio when a soldier goes missing in a combat field.”

That’s why Bergdahl said he left his remote outpost, to cause a stir and draw attention to leadership failures in his unit that he feared were putting fellow soldiers’ lives at risk.

Commandos oppose female members Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

summer survey and other documents when Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced last week that he was opening all combat jobs to women.

That decision was based on recommendations by the military service secretaries and the leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Special Operations Command. Only the Marine Corps asked to exempt women from certain infantry and frontline positions, but Carter denied that request.

Half the men who got the 46-question survey responded to it, and Rand did not identify any of them.

Some 85 percent of the respondents said they oppose opening the special operations jobs to women, and 70 percent oppose having women in their individual units. More than 80 percent said women aren’t strong enough and can’t handle the demands of the job.

And 64 percent said they aren’t mentally tough enough.

“I weigh 225 pounds, and 280 pounds in full kit, as did most of the members of my ODA (a 12-man Army Green Beret unit),” one respondent said. “I expect every person on my team to be able to drag any

member of my team out of a firefight. A-130 pound female could not do it, I don’t care how much time she spends in the gym. Do we expect wounded men to bleed out because a female soldier could not drag him to cover?”

Another said politicians don’t win the covert wars.

“Gender equality is not an option when the bullets are flying,” he said. “Most males in the area of the world I work in would rather back hand a female than listen to her speak.

There is a reason we send men to do these jobs.”

Some saw it as inevitable.

“This integration will happen eventually and we might as well embrace it while we have current solid leadership and incoming solid leadership at the top to facilitate the transition,” one said.

The deep challenges the survey revealed with integrating women into tight-knit commando teams are not lost on the Pentagon. Gen. Joseph Votel, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, posted a memo and video online last week after Carter’s announcement, explaining the decision and vowing that the qualifying

standards for special operations jobs will remain the same.

He noted that women have already moved into some special operations jobs, including as helicopter pilots and crew, members of cultural support teams in Afghanistan and in civil affairs and information operations.

And he added, “If candidates meet time-tested and scientifically validated standards, and if they have proven that they have the physical, intellectual, professional, and character attributes that are so critical to special operations — they will be welcomed into the special operations forces ranks.”

The bulk of those who responded to the survey were young, white married men.

They worry that having women in their small teams could fuel jealousy at home or create problems with sexual harassment or illicit affairs.

Ninety-eight percent agreed that their unit is united in trying to accomplish its missions.

But when asked whether men and women in a unit would be united to accomplish a mission only 48 percent said yes. Nearly 33 percent said no, and almost 20 percent were undecided.

A prominent evangelical leader has endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign as the Texas Republican’s campaign continues to gain momentum. Bob Vander Plaats, head of the conservative group the Family Leader, said Thursday he will back Cruz. He was joined by the group’s vice president and board chairman after nine of 10 board members voted that Cruz was the best candidate in the field. (A 10th member did not vote.)

The endorsement adds to the roster of prominent conservatives backing Cruz in the nation’s first voting state.

GOP slips with young voters Earlier this year, Republicans seemed to have a potential opening with members of the millennial generation, who played a key role in Barack Obama’s two victories. That chance appears to be slipping away, according to the latest Harvard Institute of Politics poll of 18- to 29-year-olds. Asked which party they would like to see win the next presidential election, millennials favored the Democrats by 20 points, 56 percent to 36 percent, the survey found.

That Democratic advantage is up from a 15-point edge in the spring, the poll’s director said. Compared with the spring poll, Democrats gained ground most notably among the youngest members of the generation, aged 18-24, he said.

California: Border checks The federal government Thursday began collecting facial and eye scans of foreigners entering the U.S. at a border crossing with Mexico, a first step in one of its most ambitious efforts to track people who stay in the country after their visas expire. Up to half the people in the U.S. illegally are believed to have overstayed visas, but the absence of a checkout system has left authorities with no way to identify them. Customs and Border Protection has begun scanning foreigners entering on foot at San Diego’s Otay Mesa port of entry.

Georgia: ‘White power’ A planned “white power” rally at Stone Mountain has a new organizer known by groups that monitor far-right extremists for his racist rhetoric. Last week, Billy Roper, a longtime white supremacy activist movement, issued a press release on the “Rock Stone Mountain” Facebook page promoting the planned April rally as a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement and promised the gathering would bring “white patriots from across the United States and around the world.”

Having college degree was valuable

By Lydia DePillis The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — In the wake of the Great Recession, a meme took hold: That of the overeducated barista, unable to find a job in her field, working instead in a low or middle-skilled position just to get by. By 2011, more than half of college graduates under age 25 were jobless or underemployed. The effect lessened over the past few years, to the point

where The Washington Post’s Ylan Mui declared the era was “coming to a close.”

But were recent grads really stuck in these jobs that were so far beneath them? In retrospect, a new study from staff at the New York Federal Reserve finds that the reality was a bit more complicated.

First of all, it’s useful to go back a little further than the recession.

This isn’t a new phenomenon: The proportion of people within

five years of graduating from college working in jobs that didn’t require a college degree actually peaked in the early 1990s, at above 47 percent. It fell dramatically thereafter, rose sharply in the mid-2000s, dropped again, rose in the recession, and has been mostly dropping since 2014.

Second of all, it’s true that jobs for the less-educated grew faster than those for the moreeducated, as the nation emerged from recession. So perhaps if new

graduates ended up underemployed, it’s in part because those were the easier jobs to get.

Beyond those crude divisions, though, the Fed economists dug a little deeper. There’s actually a lot of variation among jobs that don’t require college degrees, both in skill level and pay, from relatively high-earning IT specialists down to ... well, baristas (and other restaurant workers).

Jobless aid numbers rose in past week Applications for U.S. jobless aid climbed last week, but the number of Americans seeking benefits remains close to historic lows in a positive sign for the job market. Weekly applications for jobless aid rose 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 282,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.

The less volatile four-week average was 270,750. The weekly filings have stayed near historic lows for the past nine months. Applications below 300,000 usually correspond with net monthly job gains in excess of 200,000. The low numbers point to a solid environment for hiring, suggesting that employers are holding onto workers and potentially looking to add staff on the expectation of further growth.

Acquisition troubles Men’s Wearhouse

MICHAEL SOHN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hans Dieter Poetsch, Volkswagen’s chairman of the board (left), and CEO Matthias Mueller speak Thursday in Wolfsburg, Germany.

VW admits ‘chain of mistakes’ The defeat device software was the work of a small number of employees, chairman says.

Los Angeles Times Volkswagen executives released more details Thursday about the company’s global emissions scandal, saying that even after a fix for the U.S. nitrogen oxide emissions was available, it was not used.

Describing the process as a “whole chain of mistakes” rather than a “one-off,” VW chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch said the company was looking for those responsible and would hold them accountable. He said VW still believes the defeat device software installation was the work of a small number of employees.

The scheme was discovered in September by U.S. and California environmental regulators and affects about 500,000 vehicles in the U.S. and 11 million cars worldwide.

VW embedded software in the vehicles’ electronics that allows the cars to emit up to 40 times the legally allowed amount of nitrogen oxide while appearing

in tests to be within the limit, U.S. environmental officials said. The automaker will have to recall all the vehicles and modify the emissions systems, regulators said.

Additionally it could face a U.S. fine of up to $18 billion, or $37,500 per car.

Here’s what consumers need to know about emissions-rigging scandal:

How did Volkswagen do it?

The cars met environmental regulations, when tested on a dynamometer — a kind of treadmill for vehicles — in a laboratory.

But they spewed pollution when driven on roads. VW’s software senses the testing environment by analyzing a variety of data such as steering position, speed, duration of engine operation and barometric pressure, and then adjusts engine performance and emissions to pass the test. After tips from international environmental groups and a West

Virginia University study, regulators devised a special test that detected how the software in the engine’s electronic control module was fooling the certification tests.

The work dates back to 2005, when engineers were unable to find a way to make the dieselpowered engines pass the strict U.S. emissions standards “within the required timeframe and budget,” Poetsch said Thursday.

Engineers then came up with the defeat device software that was installed in the vehicles.

Even after a fix was found, it was not used, he said.

What happens now?

Regulators have ordered Volkswagen to come up with a fix that allows the vehicles to meet environmental regulations.

The company also said Thursday that it was mandating new and stricter emissions testing for all of its vehicles to help restore customer confidence and prevent any future issues. The emissions tests will be verified by an independent third party, Poetsch said.

Both internal and external investigations are ongoing and

auditors have gone through electronic data from more than 400 employees, Poetsch said.

He said this did not mean that those employees were under suspicion, but that the data from the electronic devices could be important.

VW has suspended nine managers for involvement in the emissions scandal, though the company still believes it was limited to a small group of employees.

What will a fix do to the cars?

The automaker hasn’t said what it plans to do, but automotive experts believe any repair will diminish the driving dynamics of the vehicles and slash fuel economy — the two major characteristics that attracted buyers.

Faith in American Dream shaken, poll finds

A

biz bits

writer once described the role of the president as being the “Curator of Dreams.” There are no specific tasks, budgets, cabinet appointments, or annual reports to Congress. That is because the basic requirement is, like national defense, ensuring that something doesn’t happen. For a president this means the basic responsibility is not making our collective dreams come true but ensuring that they don’t wither up and die.

From our country’s standpoint and the economy’s as well, the most important of those dreams is the big one, the American

JAMES McCUSKER Dream. And while there is no official definition of that Dream it would not be far wrong to say that it has traditionally contained two major elements, freedom and opportunity, both of which, as befits a dream, are unencumbered by guarantees.

Wildwood Spirits Co., 19116 Beardslee Blvd. Ste 102, Bothell, celebrated its grand opening Dec. 4. It’s located near Chef John Howie’s Beardslee Public House and Brewery and is home to Erik Liedholm’s award-winning Kur Gin and Stark Vatten Vodka. The tasting room is open from noon to 5 p.m.

The American Dream seems to be in some trouble, according to a recent and particularly interesting poll of younger Americans.

The poll was commissioned by the Fusion organization, a joint venture of Univision and Disney/ABC that produces content focused on the millennial demographic group. What makes this poll especially interesting is that it replicated the questions asked about the Dream in a 1986 poll conducted for the Wall Street Journal.

By using the same questions the poll offers us an opportunity to examine the real differences in what they are telling us about

Snohomish County and Granite Construction have been awarded the 2015 Best County Paving Award for

today’s America. That’s about as good as it gets in the polling business.

In 1986, 67 percent of young adults polled said the concept of the American Dream had “real meaning” to them. Today, that number has dropped to 56 percent. Twenty nine years ago, 29 percent of the young people said they believed that the dream was “very much alive,” but in 2015 the number had dwindled to just over half of that — 16 percent.

The poll results also show significant differences in attitude between whites and non-whites.

Men’s Wearhouse’s is struggling as it tries to figure out the best strategy for its business since buying rival Jos. A. Bank.

The men’s clothing retailer reported Wednesday that sales at Jos. A Bank locations open at least a year tumbled 14.6 percent in the third quarter as fewer customers visited those shops. This metric is a key gauge of a retailer’s health because it excludes results from locations recently opened or closed. For the quarter to date, which includes part of the critical holiday shopping season, Jos. A. Bank same-store sales were down 35.1 percent while the company’s other brands average same-store sales were up 5.5 percent.

Delta Air Lines bans hoverboards Delta Air Lines said it is banning hoverboards because of the potential fire danger from the lithium-ion batteries that power the devices. Hoverboards are motorized, two-wheel, skateboard-sized scooters that users stand on.

They have been a hot gift item at some retailers. Delta’s ban takes effect Friday. Passengers won’t be allowed to pack a hoverboard in either checked luggage or a carry-on bag. Delta said some boards use batteries that exceed the wattage for batteries allowed on planes. JetBlue Airways also has banned the gliders because of the batteries.

Yahoo’s CEO gives birth to twins Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has followed a major business announcement with some big personal news. She gave birth to twin girls Thursday, the day after unveiling plans to hatch a new company to control Yahoo’s Internet business. This is the second time that Mayer, 40, has given birth since Yahoo hired her as CEO in July 2012.

She and her husband, Zachary Bogue, have a 3-year-old son, Macallister. Mayer and the twins are both doing well, a spokeswoman said.

Volkswagen Passat TDI and 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI. A number of Porsche and Audi six-cylinder diesel vehicles were also added to the list in November after an investigation by federal and California officials.

The EPA named the 2014 VW Touareg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne and 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5. Other models and years, including more 2016 vehicles, may also be affected, the agency said.

Additionally, Volkswagen suspended sales of all new and used 2.0-liter TDI four-cylinder diesel engines, including in the 2015 Beetle, Jetta, Golf and Passat TDI, as well as the Audi A3 TDI. Sales of VW’s 2016, four-cylinder diesel models are held up as they await EPA certification.

It is too early to tell how prices for used VWs and specifically its diesels cars will be affected by the emissions scandal, said Larry Dominique, executive vice president of industry insights at car shopping website TrueCar.com. He suggests owners hold on to their cars for now — there is no safety issue — and let VW determine the fix.

If performance is not compromised, the value of the vehicle could remain unchanged.

The Fed’s study found that underemployment is mostly a transitory state — the percentage of 22-year-old college grads working in low-skilled service jobs falls from 13 percent to about 6.7 percent by the time they’re 27, for example.

McCusker From Page A11

In 1986, for example, 34 percent of whites professed a strong believe in the American dream, while only 18 percent of non-whites felt that way about it. In the 2015 poll it is clear that while belief has been seriously eroded for whites — dropping by more than half to 15 percent — the proportion of non-white believers remains unchanged.

One reason may be that the composition of the non-white category has changed significantly.

There are now far more immigrants in the group, and they were possibly more enthused about freedom and opportunity than the earlier resident non-white community.

The poll is a comparison of two points in time.

It does not allow us to draw any conclusions about whether the decay in the American dream was gradual erosion or the result of a sudden event such as the Wall Street implosion and the prolonged recession that followed.

In the more general sense, the recent poll still leaves the role of economics in the dream unclear. In two economic areas, the responses of millennials reveal changes that are particularly interesting. The goal of getting rich seems to have abated over the past three decades, but the idea of starting one’s own business has increased.

Integrating these two changes into the economic data on business startups and personal income, though, will not be easy. We do know that household income has not grown much over the past thirty years, and we might be seeing the effects of this stagnation

in the Fusion poll results, but we do not know that for sure.

In the end, the American Dream is about a lot more than economics.

While economic opportunity is one of the reasons why individuals and families want to immigrate to the United States, that doesn’t mean that what Thorstein Veblen called the “acquisitive instinct” is the only or even the dominant factor. Individual freedom, being treated with respect as an individual, and, in particular, the absence of a rigid class structure, have provided the staying power of our country’s attractiveness.

Our efforts to understand the relationship between economics and of our values are not made easier by the fact that values are hard to measure and consequently economics has all the measurement systems and the data. As one result we often attempt to measure motivation and values by examining income data — the futility of which is perhaps best illustrated in our professional sports. The leagues, for example, are all about money; winning on the field is not.

The Fusion poll results are telling us that the American Dream is still alive, but in less robust health than it had been. If nothing else, especially in this coming election year, the Fusion poll results should spur us to examine our leadership and our institutions for their commitment to making sure the dream doesn’t wither and die.

Steer schools from ‘levy cliff’ the Legislature must address the “levy cliff” that school districts could be pushed over at the end of August 2017. That’s the point at which the percentage that school districts can fund their maintenance and operations, which includes salaries and benefits for teachers, classified staff and administrators, from school levies drops to a maximum of 24 percent from the current 28 percent.

Blame this whole mess on the state transferring a larger portion of the responsibility for amply funding education from itself onto local school district levies, a practice that has been ruled unconstitutional because levies are not a regular and dependable source of funding. The Levy Lid Act of 1977 capped the maximum percentage of levy funds as part of a district’s budget to 10 percent. Among amendments since then, the cap was first raised to 24 percent, then to 28 percent, but with the provision that the maximum would drop back down to 24 percent in 2017,

in recognition of the 2018 deadline that the Legislature imposed on itself to fix the funding crisis. That deadline has since become a Supreme Court mandate through its McCleary decision.

But the true deadline, and the reason school districts are worried about the levy cliff, comes at the end of the next 60-day session. Like turning around an aircraft carrier, avoiding the levy cliff requires action well in advance.

As an example, the Everett School District stands to lose about $10.1 million in funding over a two-year period when the levy lid drops to 24 percent from 28 percent. Without action by the Legislature by mid-March when the 2016 session ends, the Everett district and most others will have to begin preparing for the loss of funding that fall. Everett school officials have mapped out a process beginning in October to cut $4.6 million from its budget in advance of sending out reduction-inforce notices to teachers and others in April 2017 for the

new school year starting that September.

Even if the Legislature were to solve everything by the end of its 2017 biannual budget session, Everett and other school districts are obligated to start planning and implementing the cuts long before then.

Even as the state racks up $100,000-a-day fines imposed by the Supreme Court following the Legislature’s inability to show a detailed plan for fixing the lack of ample funding, it would be impossible for lawmakers to resolve this this year. It took three 30-day sessions after this year’s 105day session to get as far as the Legislature did. Instead, by the end of the next session, the Legislature should push the date of the levy cliff far enough ahead to give school districts some breathing room.

Self-imposed deadlines are great for ensuring you get things done on time, but it’s bad practice to put the consequences on others than yourself.

The “gun lobby” is enjoying unprecedented support.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MUKILTEO DISTRICT

School changes need discussion Let’s say you were told you are being evicted from your home — to make room for a new resident who gets to rent it.

That is how it feels after learning about the Mukilteo School District Boundary Committee’s proposal. At the Dec. 14 school board meeting, the committee will propose moving much of the Fairmont neighborhood in South Everett from Fairmount Elementary to Challenger Elementary.

My understanding is that it will help make room for new renters on Highway 99, just south of Airport Road.

To add insult to injury, the new school assignment is one of the poorest performing schools in the Mukilteo School District.

Because it is a less desirable school, with a GreatSchools. org rating of only 3, it will be more difficult for us to sell our homes. All my research indicates school ratings are a top factor in a home purchase.

Residents in my neighborhood are just learning about this boundary proposal this week, as some of my neighbors go door to door to make them aware.

I ask that our elected officials on the Mukilteo School Board do right by those of us financially invested in the community. Before making a final decision, I request that they hold a public forum so that my neighbors can have an opportunity to learn about the proposal and alternatives, to ask questions and have concerns considered before making a final decision.

Bigotry toward gun owners The left’s bigotry toward gun owners is no better than, nor much different from the bigotry against Muslims that they decry.

Recent proposals, such as background checks, registration and bans are precisely the same as what they propose as “reasonable” or “common sense” when applied to gun owners.

What would they say if someone imposed a “terrorism tax” on Muslims, to match Seattle’s “gun violence tax” on gun and ammunition sales? How about a ban on “assault” mosques

None of this will make us safer. The gun-control laws being touted were already in effect in the recent shootings, and were ignored by the perpetrators: California has had an “assault weapon” ban since 1989, also universal background checks, and prides itself on hostility to gun owners. Colorado has a high-capacity magazine ban and universal background checks, and Paris (indeed, all of Western Europe) is a virtual “gun free zone” for private citizens.

The left’s game is to establish a Pavlovian response, adding more pointless and ineffectual gun owner harassment laws, every time there is a publicized shooting. Then, when that doesn’t stop the next one, saying “we have to do more,” until private gun owners are eradicated.

Their rhetoric names the “gun lobby” as their straw enemy, but their policies target private gun owners.

One day we’ll see we’re all the same

Some have criticized this paper over a shortage of comics.

I’d submit the shortage continues to be made up in the letters section. A Monday letter stated ISIS is an ideology, and cannot be defeated, that is unless we as a nation, turn to god (his god).

Then, this particular form of ideology can then defeat ISIS. Who would have guessed the solution was so simple and readily at hand? On the other hand, I have heard for so many years that death, famine, destruction was simply god’s will or discretion.

Now I’m really confused.

Anyway, who knows? If god takes time out from deciding which sports teams deserve to win, which buses of children go over the cliff, and how many women and children are to be kidnapped, raped and killed, maybe, just maybe he will oust ISIS. Until then, I’ll skip the illogical and unproven hopes, and skip the Kool-Aid. I’ll keep taking responsibility, accountability, ownership and consequences for my actions (and positive contribution to society, of which there are many.) Wish more would consider the same.

I remember an ideology being defeated in World War II, and by forces who were not exclusively led by one religion or god. And wasn’t that ideology of the same faith, with the same god as that of the letter writer? Oops. Good night, moon and stars.

Has anyone noticed we appear on the cusp of World War III, my observation of several countries coming together to combat a common enemy?

The extremists are poking several large dogs with a stick. This problem shouldn’t fall squarely on the U.S., but should be a collective effort to extinguish.

I’m not defending Obama, I say, “Fight, there won’t be a vacuum if we just take over the region. Welcome to the United States of the Middle East.” But this is from a woman whose Viking ancestors (different married name) fought themselves into extinction. Besides, my recent conversion to Buddhism has convinced me that this is, sadly, not the answer.

What is the answer? Maybe there isn’t one. Maybe when enough bodies have piled up we can finally see that fighting over who has the best religion or philosophy is futile and just agree to disagree.

Maybe someday, though not likely in my lifetime, we’ll see, that through all the smoke and mirrors, that we’re, first and foremost, human beings regardless of race, religion, financial status or mental capacity. Maybe we’ll see that the only thing that truly separates us is just perception.

It reminds me of that “Star Trek” episode where the two men fought and hated each other because one had a black and white face and the other had a white and black face. From an outsider’s point of view it must all seem so ridiculous.

IN OUR VIEW | Legislature 2016

On education funding alone, the Legislature has a healthy list of issues it must address in its scheduled 60-day short session that begins Jan. 11.

Along with the larger issue of continuing work to satisfy the state Supreme Court’s mandate that it show a clear plan for providing ample funding for K-12 education before a 2018 deadline, school districts across the state will also seek: ■■A change in the law for school bonds that would reduce the requirement that bonds pass with a 60 percent super-majority to a simple majority; ■■Fund school construction so districts can add the classrooms needed to reduce K-3 class sizes, reductions that lawmakers provided for in the 2015-17 budget; and ■■Adjust the state formula to increase the amount of funding of school construction per square foot to more accurately reflect the real costs of construction.

Ahead of all that, however,

The Donald’s absurdities are upstaging GOP

S

o how exactly does this work, Donald Trump’s plan to keep America safe from Islamic terrorism by barring entry to all Muslims? He explained it Tuesday on TV. The immigration official will ask the foreigner if he’s a Muslim.

“And if they said, ‘yes,’ they would not be allowed in the country?”

Trump: “That’s correct.”

Brilliant.

And very economical.

That is, if you think that bloodthirsty terrorists — “people that believe only in Jihad, CHARLES and have KRAUTHAMMER no sense of reason or respect for human life,” as Trump describes them — will feel honor-bound to tell the truth to an infidel immigration officer. They kill wantonly but, like George Washington, cannot tell a lie. On this logic hinges the great Maginot Line with which Trump will protect America from jihad.

I decline to join the chorus denouncing the Trump proposal as offensive and unAmerican. That’s too obvious. What I can’t get over is its sheer absurdity.

Here’s a suggestion (borrowed from my Fox News colleague Chris Stirewalt) to shore it up. At every immigration station at every airport in America, we will demand that every potential entrant — immigrant, refugee, student or tourist — eat a bacon sandwich. You refuse? Back home you go!

True, the Stirewalt Solution casts the net a bit wide, snaring innocent vegetarians and Orthodox Jews. But hey, as Trump said Tuesday “We’re at war — get it through your head.” Can’t get squeamish about collateral damage.

Dozens of others have already pointed out how strategically idiotic is Trump’s exclusion principle. Absent a renewed Christian crusade against radical Islam the war on terror will only be won in alliance with moderate Muslims. Declaring them anathema is not the best beginning to coalition-building.

To take but the most obvious example: Our closest and most effective allies on the ground in the Middle East are the Kurds. Trump would turn them back at the Orlando airport. No Disney World for them.

Or does he not know that they are Muslim?

It is embarrassing even to embark on such arguments. To treat “no Muslims allowed” as a serious idea is to give credit to what is little more than a clever stunt by a man who saw Ted Cruz beating him for the first time in the Iowa Monmouth poll and five hours later decided it was time to seize the stage again.

This got the thinkers going again.

National Review’s Andrew McCarthy, whom I (otherwise) hold in considerable esteem, spent 1,000 words trying to tart up the ban in constitutional and statutory livery, stressing — hilariously — that he is dealing with the Trump proposal “in its final form.” As if Trump’s barstool eruptions are painstakingly vetted, and as if anything Trump says about anything is ever final.

Take his Syria policy. In September, he said we should wash our hands and just let Russia fight the Islamic State. Having, I assume, been subsequently informed that Vladimir Putin’s principal interest — and target — is not the Islamic State but the anti-Assad rebels, Trump now promises to “bomb the s***“ out of the Islamic State.

I’m sure there’s a Trump apologist out there working to explain the brilliant complementarity of these two contradictory strategies. Just as a few months ago there was a frenzy of learned scholarship about the constitutional history of the 14th Amendment following another Trump eruption — the abolition of birthright citizenship.

Whatever the final outcome, Trump’s campaign has already succeeded, indelibly affecting both this race and the Republican future. At a time of economic malaise at home and strategic collapse abroad, Trump has managed to steer the entire GOP campaign into absurdities.

“No Muslims allowed” is the perfect example. President Obama’s Oval Office address on Sunday night marked a new low in his presidency. The shopworn arguments, the detached tone, the willful denial that there might be anything wrong with his policy was deeply unsettling for left, right and center. Even The New York Times had to admit “Obama’s Plans to Stop ISIS Leave Many Democrats Wanting More.” Here was an opportunity for the Republican field to launch an all-out takedown of the Obama (and Hillary Clinton) foreign policy.

Within less than a day that opportunity was wiped out. Once again, it’s the Donald Show.

Jail: Monitoring was a critical element of the settlement From Page A1

His son, Keaton Farris, 25, was shuffled among three jails before being booked into the Coupeville lockup. He was in the throes of a mental health crisis when he was taken into custody March 20 in Lynnwood. He missed court that day, and a San Juan County judge issued a $10,000 warrant. Farris was charged with identity theft for forging a $355 check in San Juan County.

He was housed in the jails in Snohomish and Skagit counties before being moved to Coupeville in Island County, which provides jail services under contract with San Juan County.

The settlement was reached Monday with Island, San Juan and Skagit counties. Fred Farris and Tiffany Ferrians filed a claim in August, alleging corrections officers neglected their son and withheld basic needs. They were represented by Seattle attorneys Becky Roe and Kathy Goater.

Farris was found dead in his cell around 12:40 a.m.

April 8. Corrections officers hadn’t checked on him for hours, and the water to his cell had been turned off.

The coroner estimated that Farris died around 7:30 p.m. April 7.

Ban From Page A1

“I only got six responses to this. I didn’t get any from the neighborhoods,” Bosman told the council.

And yet the problem persists, with the majority of business owners and residents reporting that the problem with litter is still

The police investigation revealed that during the course of the 12 days in the Island County Jail, Farris’ fluid intake was at best 185 ounces of water — less than a quarter of the amount considered minimum for survival. He’d also lost about 20 pounds.

Under terms of the settlement, Island County also agreed that the family’s own expert will review the recommendations and work provided by Stanley, and the county will make a good faith effort to incorporate any suggestions.

The jail monitoring was a critical piece of the settlement, Fred Farris said.

Family members didn’t want those efforts delayed by taking the case to trial.

They also were concerned that a jury wouldn’t impose monitoring.

“We really feel like the review touched on how far behind the times and inadequate procedures there are at the jail,” Fred Farris said. “We’re concerned about the people who are in jail now and didn’t want to wait two years.”

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the county is investing $700,000 into the jail, including more corrections officers and medical staff.

It also is looking into the national Stepping Up Initiative, aimed at preventing

the same or getting worse.

Public works crews are now cleaning up the area around the Everett Gospel Mission twice per week.

Trash includes empty bottles and cans. The crews can’t keep up, Bosman said.

“They are literally hauling out truckloads of debris,” he said.

While some representatives from retail businesses

people living with mental illness from ending up in jail.

“I was heartbroken and outraged by what happened,” Price Johnson said.

“I think we’ve worked very quickly with the sheriff to make improvements.”

Brown, who oversees the jail, said significant steps have been taken to remedy some of the problems that led to Farris’ death.

The county has hired a nurse practitioner and a new jail chief. There is now a mental health professional who works 20 hours

a week in the jail. Corrections officers have received additional crisis intervention training aimed at helping them work with mentally ill inmates. Brown said there is more coordination between corrections staff, human services and the jail’s new nurse. They are meeting weekly to discuss inmates.

“Obviously we will continue to monitor the recommendations, and certainly the ones that were relevant in Keaton’s death are being addressed,” Brown said.

Sheriff’s detective Ed Wallace investigated the death. His 700-page report said that corrections officers didn’t regularly check on Farris or offer him water.

They also failed to take any action when Farris repeatedly refused water. The family spoke with corrections staff and explained that Farris had bipolar disorder and likely needed his medication. When he was arrested in Lynnwood, he had a prescription in his pocket for an anti-anxiety medication. Farris never received any medication at the Island County Jail.

His parents were assured that Farris was being seen by a nurse. Corrections officers didn’t ask the jail nurse to evaluate Farris until the day before he died.

The nurse, Nancy Barker, admitted that she didn’t go into Farris’ cell or do an adequate medical screening. She said she had been told that Farris was dangerous. Barker resigned from her job in the middle of an investigation by her employer, Island County Public Health. The state Department of Health launched an investigation in July, about a week after it was contacted by The Herald about the status of Barker’s license. A department spokeswoman declined to say anything more about

came forward in April to oppose the initial ordinance, there hasn’t been any feedback from them since, Mayor Ray Stephanson said.

The expectation was that business groups would remain in communication with the city during the voluntary period, he said.

“Unequivocally, that just didn’t happen,” Stephanson said. “There was some

talk initially and then nothing.”

An ordinance likely will be brought before the council Dec. 16, and up for a vote Dec. 30. It would direct the police chief to ask the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board to make the impact area mandatory.

The state board has enforcement authority over alcohol impact areas in cities than enact them,

Bosman said.

Councilwoman Brenda Stonecipher indicated she would oppose strengthening the ban, as she did the voluntary ordinance in April, saying the city instead should be focusing on more treatment options for buyers of those products.

“If they can’t get the products on the list they’ll drink something else,” she said. “Eventually they’ll

that investigation.

Wallace’s report documented that two corrections officers allegedly falsified records after Farris’ death. They resigned after being put on leave.

Brown fired the jail lieutenant, and the jail chief retired.

The case remains under investigation by the Whatcom County Prosecutor’s Office for possible criminal charges against those involved.

“The family is holding on to hope that the criminal justice system will hold those individuals accountable for their role in Keaton’s death,” Fred Farris said.

He and his family will focus efforts now on the criminal case. They also will focus on remembering their son, brother, grandson and nephew.

Farris grew up on Lopez Island, where he helped bring home state championships in high school basketball and track. He’d been a storyteller since childhood and aspired to be a writer.

“Keaton’s great love lives through us in our hearts and through his writings and in the loving memories of his family, friends and community,” his parents said.

Councilman Scott Murphy, who joined the majority in enacting the ordinance in April, said it made sense to move on to the next step because the voluntary efforts had yielded few results.

Acura TLX: compelling blend of athleticism, refinement ROAD TEST

by Larry Lark Herald Special Sections Writer

A

cura’s midsize, luxury TLX sport sedan made wholesale changes last year, and the reviews – and sales – were off the charts.

“The success of TLX in its initial year on the market has been instrumental in Acura’s resurgence as a luxury sedan manufacturer,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager, Acura Division. “The unique combination of proportion, prestige and performance is a hallmark of all Acura vehicles.”

TLX was able to deliver on a compelling blend of sports-sedan athleticism and premium luxury refinement. That’s a hard “Daily Double” to hit, but Acura engineers managed to pull it off. So for this model year, the TLX receives only minor, mostly cosmetic, changes.

The performance side of the equation is covered by a 3.5-liter, SOHC, 24-valve, VTEC V6 engine that generates 290 horsepower. The engine is coupled with a nine-speed, automatic transmission and the latest iterations of Acura precision-handling technologies – Precision All-Wheel Steer, next-generation SuperHandling All-Wheel Drive, and Agile Handling Assist.

It really does look and act the part of a full-fledged

sports car. I could blather on, but you’ll know it when you drive it.

Now comes the luxury, refinement, comfort and sophistication half of the equation. My favorite.

The TLX’s spacious five-passenger interior is loaded with high-end, premium elements including a soft-touch, one-piece instrument panel upper cover, alloy and woodgrain design accents and Milano leather seat trim.

Luxury features and other goodies include heated and ventilated front seats, HomeLink, Bluetooth hands-free Link, smart-entry/push-button-start keyless access system, Acura navigation system with 3D view, and AcuraLink Real-Time traffic with Traffic rerouting.

A 7-inch touch screen, located in the center console, controls these and other features.

In keeping with Acura’s commitment to delivering a world-class audio experience, the TLX in Technology and Advance trims come equipped with a 490-watt, 10-speaker Acura/ELS studio premium audio system, engineered specifically for the TLX by legendary recording engineer Elliot Scheiner.

Whether it was listening to “Holly” Christmas tunes on XM radio, plugging my iPod in via USB, or sliding Adele’s new CD into the player, the sound was clear, crisp and second to none.

TLX features a 60/40-split folding rear seatback for greater cargo-carrying flexibility and a trunk design featuring a wide and deep opening, a low lift-over height, a fully flat cargo floor, and two optional underfloor storage compartments. By sports car standards, the trunk is massive!

The exterior benefits from compact, sports-sedan proportions. I particularly liked the Jewel Eye LED headlights that not

only look great, but provide superior down-the-road illumination. The LED lighting theme carries through to the LED-accented side mirrors, LED taillights and LED license plate illumination.

Safety is another reason one purchases the TLX. It is loaded with cutting-edge safety and driver-assistive technologies. A monocular camera and millimeter wave radar system fuels the car’s road-sensing capabilities that include a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system and adaptive cruise control.

Additional standard and available driver-assistive features include blind-spot information, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, expanded-view driver’s side mirror, lane-keeping assist, and rear-cross traffic monitor. Q

Mercedes Sprinter:

Sprinting the Sahara Desert PHOTO/©NICOLE DREON

By SUE MEAD AutoWriters Associates

“T

here’s the check point!” shouted my co-driver pointing to the red flag waving in the breeze, beyond a sea of Sahara Desert dunes.

There was no time to waste, so I turned the wheels of the Mercedes-Benz 4WD Sprinter toward the small, triangular patch of red, pushing the throttle to slice across the undulating sand hills. Would a rollcaged, rally-prepped version of a FedEx van get me to the flag?

I was in the midst of the “2015 Rallye Aicha des Gazelles,” an off-road rally in Morocco called the toughest all-woman’s sporting event in the world. This year’s 25th anniversary event attracted teams from 33 countries, including the U.S. I was asked by Mercedes-Benz to drive their 4x4 Sprinter van. I was paired with Shennen Marschner, a Sprinter sales rep for Mercedes-Benz, to take on the challenge as a two-person team. The goal was to achieve the shortest distance between checkpoints, which are designated as either latitude/longitude or an exact point of distance and heading. The rally measures precise navigation and driving skills, as well as vehicle competence, with no outside assistance or support during the competition. No GPS is allowed — only a compass, plotter, and ruler, and black and

white maps that date from the 1940s to the 1960s — to find the checkpoints each day that typically range from 14 to 21 hours of non-stop driving and navigating.

“Entering the new 4WD Sprinter van in the Gazelle Rally was ‘out-of-the-box’ for Mercedes-Benz USA, because it’s not how it will be used by drivers in the U.S. However, because the 4WD model is new to the U.S., and it’s the only van in its class with four-wheel-drive, Mercedes had the confidence to enter it in the Crossover Class to show its capability,” said Marschner.

While I test-drive all vehicle types, I’ve chosen to specialize in trucks and SUVs, and in 4WD vehicles, in particular, and have evaluated hundreds of models in more than 70 countries. As a result, I know off-road and tough conditions, having participated in all of the world’s longest and most difficult 4WD races and rallies.

The 3-ton Sprinter van was a pleasure to

drive, with competence beyond my wildest imaginings, plus, it has ample room for cargo-carrying and even sleeping, when needed.

Our test drive was approximately 3,000 miles, beginning in Stuttgart, Germany, traveling on through France to a boat portage across the Mediterranean Sea; we then traveled across Morocco to the Rally’s start, ascending and descending the Atlas Mountains in a snow storm.

Motoring the van on paved roads, it feels more like driving a minivan, rather than a full-sized transporter. This comes as a result of Mercedes’ engineering that has coordinated the drive and handling dynamics — steering, braking, suspension, and acceleration — to bring an integrated package that moves and stops the van with precision.

Bundled in are highly responsive stability control systems that provide flawless

traction and keep it from feeling top-heavy.

During the approximately 1,500 miles of driving the Sprinter off-road over a wide variety of conditions that included 4WD track and hard scrabble with loose rocks, desert sand and dunes, and rocks and ravines, we were impressed by its capability as an off-roader. There was always power and torque on tap to move it and excellent traction capability to travel over small dune fields.

The 2015 Sprinter comes in five models with three GVWRs, body lengths, and roof heights for a total of 50 different configurations. In 2015, a 4WD model was added to the lineup and the van receives standard crosswind assist that operates at speeds over 50 mph.

A high-trim 4WD model is also available with a low range set of gears; it is the only 4WD offering in its class. The 4x2 Sprinter comes with a choice of two turbo-diesel engines: a 161-horsepower four-cylinder or a 188-hp V-6. The 4x4 gets only the V-6, as well as an extra 4.3 inches of lift in the front and 3.1 in the rear. It has cargo volume up to 547 cu.-ft., payload up to 5,415 pounds, cargo area height of up to 6 feet 6 inches, loading length up to 185 inches, towing capacity up to 7,500 pounds, a tongue weight of up to 750 pounds, and boasts fuel economy of 26.7 mpg combined.

Pricing for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter starts at $34,790.

LYNDON CONRAD BELL AutoWriters Associates

T

he highly respected Ford Mustang is a true American icon. Since 1964, the name has been associated with a uniquely American style of high performance car. Mustang has been so closely coupled with twodoor high performance models that the genre was named “pony cars” in its honor.

In addition to the adoption of an independent rear suspension system for the venerable pony car (the last product in its category to get the configuration), the 2016 Mustang is also offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

Pricing starts at $23,800.

True Mustang aficionados may recall the 1984 Ford Mustang SVO was the first truly high performance Mustang to make do with turbocharged four-cylinder power. This contemporary four-pot powerplant is good for 310 horsepower and 320 ft-lbs of torque. Remarkable? Yes! And we’re anxiously awaiting our chance behind the wheel with it, too.

Until then though, we’re more than content with the wonderfully smooth-winding 435-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8 fitted to the 2016 Mustang GT. With a positively mellifluous exhaust note, an 8,200-rpm redline, and 400 lbs-ft. of torque on tap, the rear-wheel drive Mustang GT consistently bolts to 60 mph in just under 5 seconds using launch control.

The six-speed manual transmission feels great to operate and is easily guided up and down through the gearbox. (A six-speed automatic is offered as an option.) Clutch take-up is beautifully linear, and with so much torque on hand, setting the Mustang GT into motion is child’s play.

One of the most satisfying driver’s cars ever adorned with the galloping pony logo, the Mustang GT’s road manners are beyond exemplary. The fastback coupe takes a decided set in the corners and allows a degree of rear end steering with the throttle before the computers kick in to ensure you stay on the asphalt.

Steering is nice and direct; yes, we could do with a bit more road feel, however, once we learned what to expect from our inputs, we came to trust the Mustang’s consistent obeisance implicitly.

Similarly, the dinner platesized vented rotors and six-piston Brembo front calipers make braking an exact science. Readily modulated, one can employ the brake pedal like a rheostat-gradually dialing in the precise amount of retardation required.

Adding a great deal to the Ford’s maneuverability is the adoption of aluminum for the front fenders and hood, thus removing a considerable amount of weight from the end of the car most responsible for steering. If you love the feel of a responsive performance car, then you’re going to want to spend a lot of time exploring this Ford Mustang. It’s

absolutely wonderful.

Inside, the design themes from previous generations of the Ford have evolved nicely.

Like the exterior styling, the interior is instantly familiar, but incorporates updates contributing noteworthy improvements. The deeply bolstered Recaro racing-inspired seats are both comfortable over extreme distances, and supportive in all of the right places.

Fidgeting, slipping, and sliding about are noticeably absent from the experience.

The dual-cowl dash and circular design elements of the interior nicely recall Mustangs of yore, while the latest in cutting-edge tech is housed within the center stack. Mustang GT offers push-button ignition, multiple drive modes and a rear view camera. The Track Apps feature measures acceleration, cornering and braking forces, as well as timing laps and the like. The Sync voice command system for audio and telephony functions is extraordinarily responsive, and the Sync 3 touchscreen interface is both highly intuitive and readily receptive. Bluetooth pairing is accomplished both easily and quickly.

As you might expect, rear seat legroom is basically nonexistent; but the area serves as a great place to toss a jacket, briefcase, or backpack. The trunk is good for 13.5 cubic feet of cargo. Travel

2016 Ford Mustang:

A nod to heritage

light, you’ll do all right, and of course the all-important pair of golf bags will fit. The rear seatbacks fold to offer more cargo capacity with the coupe-but not with the convertible, which offers only 11.4 cu.-ft. of trunk space

to give the roof someplace to go when it’s retracted.

Still though, being handsome, comfortable and fast, this is easily the best Mustang GT Ford has ever fielded. Pricing for the Mustang GT starts at $32,300.

Tips acquire center White from Lethbridge

round bantam pick.

The 17-year-old was the Hurricanes’ fourth round pick in the 2013 bantam draft.

A native of Medicine Hat, Alberta, White had a goal and two assists Jaeger White in 23 games this

season. He has scored five goals and tallied 14 assists in 68 games during his WHL career.

“He’s a player that as a young bantam we really liked,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said. “He’s shown the ability to score and has a strong upside.”

aving played perennial state power Bellevue three times in the previous four seasons, the Glacier Peak football team was more familiar with what the Wolverines wanted to do offensively than just about any team in the state when the two teams met in Week 5 of the regular season.

But even the Grizzlies hadn’t seen everything.

On the Wolverines’ first offensive possession, they ran a play the Grizzlies had never seen — in a game or on film — and

it resulted in a touchdown.

When the Grizzlies came off the field, the GP coaching staff wanted to talk adjustments, but it wasn’t necessary.

Inside linebacker Iain Black had already made them.

“He said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got it. That won’t happen again,’” Glacier Peak head coach Rory Rosenbach said.

Later in the game the Wolverines tried the play again. This time, Black stuffed it for a 5-yard loss.

abilities at the lower levels. He had 12 goals and 17 assists in 29 games with the SEAC Tigers Midget AAA team of the AMHL during the 2013-14 season, and had 72 goals and 93 assists in 58 games with the Burnaby Winter Club Bantam A1-T1 of the PCBHL in 2012-13.

Peak defense all season and he helped the Grizzlies advance to the Class 3A state quarterfinals. For his efforts, Black is The Herald’s 2015 Defensive Player of the Year.

“In my opinion, he’s the best linebacker that I’ve ever coached,” Rosenbach said.

“The stuff that he does, I don’t know how he does it. I don’t know how he sees it as fast as he does and how he gets through where he gets through.”

uick: Which teams most recently played each other in the Super Bowl before the Seattle Seahawks in the past two?

Hint: They’re both 4-8 this season.

If you said the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, you win a pair of $10 pleated khakis from Wal-Mart — If Jim Harbaugh hasn’t purchased the entire inventory.

Super Bowl XLVII was won in New Orleans by the Ravens, 34-31, in the immortal Harbaugh Bowl between coaching brothers Jim and John.

The ART THIEL subject merits attention this week, because the Seahawks play the Ravens in Baltimore, where John is trying to patch together his broken team three years gone from glory.

Jim, you may recall, saw his 49ers wreck even faster, going 8-8 the past season. Then he fled to his alma mater at Michigan, which gets to spend New Year’s Day at the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl in Orlando against Florida.

Not a bad gig, especially compared to staying in his old job, which could have meant getting his team’s grill smashed twice a year by the Seahawks and his nemesis, the scoundrel Pete Carroll.

So it seemed reasonable to ask Carroll Wednesday what the two teams’ post-Super Bowl fates said about how quickly success can vanish in the NFL. He had a surprising answer.

It says “that Mr. and Mrs. (Jack) Harbaugh aren’t quite as fired up for their boys,” Carroll said.

The media gathering erupted in laughter, and Carroll beamed. He was proud of his good-natured jab. He backed up and offered platitudes about Clan Harbaugh, trying to regain his speak-no-evil coaching decorum.

Tahoma’s late flurry sinks Lake Stevens in dual meet The Vikings’ stars put on a show and underclassmen gain valuable experience in a thrilling 40-33 loss to the Bears.

By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — Brent Barnes and the Lake Stevens wrestling team are hoping December defeats will turn into February victories as the seven underclassmen in the Vikings’ lineup learn and improve.

The Vikings saw a bit of that growth — along with the typical brilliance of their established stars — in a 40-33 defeat at the hands of visiting Tahoma on Thursday night in a raucous home dual meet.

“We’re trying to get better every time we step on the mat,” Barnes said. “It’s important to get our young guys exposure in these types of matches, and Tahoma is a really good team.”

Lake Stevens’ seven underclassmen went 2-5 against the Bears, but the two victories nearly bookended a Viking comeback.

The match started at 106 pounds, and the Bears took a 7-0 lead after the first two bouts, as Lake Stevens sophomore Jake Bennett and freshman Riley Headland suffered defeats via decision and major decision,

respectively.

The match was in real danger of getting away from Lake Stevens early, but freshman Kyle LeCoursiere gave the Vikings a huge jolt — and electrified the crowd — with a third-period pin of Tahoma’s Joe Novak at 120 pounds to make the score 7-6.

LeCoursiere tried to catch Novak in a cradle throughout the match, finally nailing it with just 21 seconds remaining.

“It was pretty impressive for a freshman in that environment,” Barnes said. “It helps that Kyle is really strong and has a big gas tank.”

‘This is our team’

After overhauling the Mariners’ roster in 10-plus weeks, GM Jerry Dipoto says the rebuilding job is basically done

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Take a good look at the Seattle Mariners’ roster. Next year’s club is pretty much in place.

“The offensive club is kind of what you see is what you’ll get,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said. “We like the group we have on the field. There might be a small twist, but nothing super significant there.

“The pitching staff, we still have some tweaks to make, but nothing that changes the world.

This is our team.”

That team resulted from a frenetic overhaul in the 10-plus weeks since Dipoto became general manager. It crystallized into its-near final form this week in three trades prior to Thursday’s completion of the Winter Meetings.

Dipoto said he had a “clear idea” what he wanted to do when he interviewed for the GM job. “We laid a plan in place,” he said, “and then we got after it.”

That plan saw the Mariners move 41 players on or off their 40-man roster since Dipoto took command. The 19 acquisitions consist of 12 players acquired in seven trades, four free-agent signings and three waiver claims.

“I think it was critical to be earlier to the market,” he said, “because we did intend to make a larger-scale change. We’ve talked a lot about what we wanted to do around that core

Gutierrez will platoon by playing right or DH. Rotation (five): Felix Hernandez, Wade Miley, Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Nate Karns. Backup possibilities include Mike Montgomery, Anthony Bass and Vidal Nuno.

Bullpen (seven): There could be some adjustments here because the Mariners expect to add at least one more arm — probably a free agent capable of competing with Joaquin Benoit as the closer.

Charlie Furbush, if healthy, projects as the primary lefty setup reliever. Current favorites for the other spots are Justin De Fratus, Evan Scribner, Tony Zych, Nuno and Bass.

The latter three have options remaining.

“Right now,” Dipoto said, “the bullpen is our focus, and that (anticipated addition) will come through some combination of major-league and minor-league free agency.

“I don’t envision anything on the trade market. But if the opportunity arises, we’ll take advantage if we can.”

Beyond that? Not much.

“The roster has been settled,” Dipoto said. “We did turn over a lot of the roster. It should now slow quite significantly.

“We have made quite a few minor-league pickups who will be non-roster invites. Guys with some major-league experience who can beef up our Triple-A depth and protect us in back of the major-league club.”

Seattle loses Blash in Rule 5 draft

seasons with 197 strikeouts and 107 walks in 2502⁄3 innings.

The Mariners weren’t eligible to make a selection in the major-league phase of the Rule 5 Draft because they had no openings on their 40man roster.

The News Tribune

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As expected, the Mariners lost Triple-A Tacoma outfielder Jabari Blash in the major-league phase of the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday.

Oakland selected Blash, 26, with the sixth overall pick and immediately traded him to San Diego as the player to be named later in a Dec. 2 trade.

Blash, a former Everett AquaSox, 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 on-base percentage.

“A lot of inquiries about him,” said Tom Allison, the Mariners’ vice president of player personnel. “One of the things he brings to the table is his right-handed power against left-handed pitching.”

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.

group of players, about raising the floor, about building depth.

To do that requires volume, and the easiest time to access volume is when there’s volume available.

“If you wait into December and January to do that, there are less bodies on the dance floor. When you go ask for the dance partner, there are fewer to choose from.”

Here’s the all-but-complete dance card: Catcher (two expected on 25-man roster): Chris Iannetta and Steve Clevenger. Mike Zunino seems headed for TripleA Tacoma barring a remarkable spring or an injury to Iannetta and/or Clevenger.

First base (two): Adam Lind and Jesus Montero. At this point, it appears Montero would need to play his way off the club.

Second base: Robinson Cano.

Shortstop: Ketel Marte. He “earned that right,” Dipoto said, “with the finish to his season last year.”

Third base: Kyle Seager.

Utility infielder: The Mariners will choose one from a group of Chris Taylor, Luis Sardinas and Shawn O’Malley. Taylor and Sardinas rate a slight initial edge because they are viewed as better defensive shortstops than O’Malley.

Outfield (five): Nori Aoki and Leonys Martin will be the primary starters in left and center.

Nelson Cruz will play right or serve as the designated hitter. Seth Smith and Franklin

It was the Mariners’ analytics department that saw potential in righthanded reliever Isaac Sanchez, who was selected by Seattle in the minorleague phase of the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday.

Sanchez, 23, spent the past six

Outfielder Jabari Blash played for the Everett AquaSox during the 2011 season.

seasons in the Pittsburgh system but never reached Hi-A until last season, when he went 2-3 with a 2.71 ERA in 661⁄3 innings over 42 appearances.

“Issac was a guy who our analytics (people) really liked,” Allison said. “We think he adds some depth to the organization. He does profile more as a reliever for us, but we’ll see when we get him into the hands of our PD (player development) staff in spring training.”

Sanchez is 14-11 with a 3.66 ERA over 139 games in six minor-league

The Mariners lost three players in the draft’s minor-league phase: lefthander Brian Moran to Cleveland, and right-hander Logan Bawcom and outfielder Julio Morban to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Moran, 27, spent most of last season at Double-A Jackson, where he was 2-1 with a 3.56 ERA in 25 games after missing all of 2014 while recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery.

Bawcom, 27, was 2-4 with two saves and a 4.64 ERA in 45 games at Tacoma.

Morban, 23, battled injuries last season and played just 48 games, splitting time at Tacoma and Jackson. He batted a combined .206 with one homer and 13 RBI.

Minor additions The Mariners continued to add depth by signing infielder Benji Gonzalez and outfielder Mike Baxter to minor-league contracts that include invitations to big-league camp.

Baxter, 31, batted .246 last season in 34 games for the Chicago Cubs, but spent most of the season at Triple-A Iowa. He has a .228 career average in 232 big-league games over parts of six seasons.

Gonzalez, 25, is an eight-year pro who has never played in the big leagues. He spent last year in the San Diego system, where he batted .271 in 72 games at four different levels.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Freeagent shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and the New York Mets have agreed to a two-year, $18.5 million contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

Cabrera would be the second middle infielder added by the Mets at the winter meetings after they acquired second baseman Neil Walker from the Pittsburgh Pirates for lefthander Jon Niese.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal will not be completed until Cabrera passes a physical. The contract also includes an option for 2018.

“We’re trying to build a team with a lot of flexibility, versatility and depth. That’s what we’re doing,” assistant general manager John Ricco said Thursday.

A 30-year-old switch hitter, Cabrera hit .265 with 15 homers and 58 RBI for the Tampa Bay Rays last season. Cabrera finished at the bottom in several defensive metrics for shortstops, according to Fangraphs. com.

The two-time All-Star has hit .267 with 102 homers and 509 RBIs in a nine-year career with Cleveland (2007-14), Washington (2014) and the Rays.

The additions of Cabrera and Walker give the NL champion Mets the options they were looking for in the infield. New York already had Ruben Tejada and Wilmer Flores. Both Tejada and Flores can spell David Wright at third base. Wright missed significant time last year with spinal stenosis and it is unknown how many days in a row he will be able to play in the future.

“We think we have some good players. But whether it be through giving them more rest or finding ways to get them atbats in situations where they’ll thrive, that’s the goal,” Ricco said. “And trying to find pieces that allow us to do that is what we’ve been focused on.”

Goeddel first pick in Rule 5 draft NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Philadelphia Phillies have made Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tyler Goeddel the first selection in baseball’s winter meetings draft.

The Rays and New York Yankees each lost two players in the draft Thursday that is mostly for veteran minor leaguers who were left off their team’s 40-man roster. There were 16 players taken in the majorleague portion, known as the Rule 5 draft.

A first-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2011, the 23-year-old Goeddel hit .279 with 12 home runs, 72 RBIs and 28 stolen bases in 123 games last season at Double-A Montgomery.

In the Rule 5 draft, teams pay $50,000 to pick a player. That player must either remain on the bigleague roster throughout 2016 or be offered back to the original club for $25,000.

Sipp agrees with Astros HOUSTON— A person familiar with the negotiations says reliever Tony Sipp has agreed to an $18 million, three-year contract to remain with the Houston Astros.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the agreement was pending a physical and had not been announced.

A 32-year-old left-hander, Sipp had a career-best 1.99 ERA in 60 games last season.

Royals sign Soria KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals finalized a three-year, $25 million deal with Joakim Soria on Thursday, reuniting the former AllStar reliever with the club where he spent his first five seasons.

Soria will make $7 million next season, $8 million the following and $9 million in 2018, with up to $4 million in incentives each year.

A $10 million option for 2019 has a $1 million buyout.

Broxton saying with Cards ST. LOUIS — Reliever Jonathan Broxton is staying with the St. Louis Cardinals, agreeing to a $7.5 million, two-year contract.

The 31-year-old right-hander gets $3.75 million in each of the next two seasons under the agreement announced Thursday, which includes a full no-trade provision.

A two-time All-Star, Broxton was acquired from Milwaukee in August for minor league outfielder Malik Collymore and went 3-3 with a 2.66 ERA in 26 games with the Cardinals with 26 strikeouts in 23 2-3 innings.

St. Louis declined a $9 million option in favor of a $1 million buyout, allowing him to become a free agent.

high,” LeCoursiere said.

“Being under the light for the first time was awesome, and it meant a lot to the team at the time. Nobody expects a freshman to pin a junior like that.”

Certainly not Tahoma coach Chris Feist, who shuffled his lineup starting with Sipila’s spot in hopes of recouping the points lost at 120.

Instead of the titillating matchup of Sipila and Lake Stevens returning state finalist Jake Douglas at 145,

Feist sent Sipila, who lost to Lake Stevens’ Alex Rodorigo in the state semifinals last season, out at 138.

“We had a couple of scenarios ready depending on how they bumped people and moved people around,” Feist said.

Feist’s moves didn’t pay immediate dividends as the Vikings ran off a string of five consecutive victories — four via pinfall — to take a 33-22 lead with three bouts remaining.

It was the core four of

the Vikings lineup that, to nobody’s surprise, led the comeback.

Douglas turned one catastrophic mistake by Tahoma’s Ryden Fu into a pin at 145. After doing a full roll along the edge of the mat to avoid a precarious situation himself in the early going, Douglas caught Fu’s leg and held it in the air for a good 15 seconds.

While Fu displayed remarkable balance and flexibility in staying upright

while balancing on one foot for that long, Douglas waited him out in the center of the mat.

“He tried to flip out of it and I caught him on his back,” Douglas said. “A lot of it was just being patient and waiting for him to make a mistake.”

Trysten Perales powered past Max Rappen at 152 for a fall at 3:03, and after Angelo Loera ground out a 6-4 decision at 160, three-time state champion Michael Soler, wrestling

at home for the first time in what could be an epic senior campaign, put on a show.

Up to 170 pounds after winning state titles at 106, 113 and 132, Soler toyed with Tahoma’s Gage DressMoran, taking him down and cutting him three times in the first minute of the first period before recording the pin at 1:36.

It was a startling display of physicality from an athlete who had made his living as a savvy, finesse wrestler up until this season.

“I was feeling pretty good being in front of the home crowd, and I just wanted to go out there and dominate someone,” Soler said.

“I knew I had to pin him, so I couldn’t mess around too long.”

Sophomore Malachi Lawrence also recorded a quick pinfall to leave an 11-point lead to the inexperienced trio of Mitch Firth, Ryne Pearson and Seth Reyna at the bottom of the lineup.

They couldn’t hold it.

All three were pinned in the first period to swing the match back in Tahoma’s favor, but the hope is that the experience gained Thursday night will be paid back with interest in February.

“It’s a great building period for our team,” Douglas said. “We’re building morale and seeing what mistakes we’re making so we can fix them as a team.”

Athlete of the Year: Anfernee Gurley Explosive Junior was a do-it-all force for Archbishop Murphy

Defensive linemen Jackson Yost, Jr., Archbishop Murphy Michael Nelson, Sr., Lake Stevens Josh Watson, Sr., Cascade

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

Malakai Fifita, Jr., Glacier Peak

Before the 2015 football season began, one of the challenges facing Archbishop Murphy head football coach Jerry Jensen was how to get the ball in the hands of his most explosive player more often.

Much to the chagrin of the Wildcats’ opponents, Jensen figured it out.

Junior Anfernee Gurley carried the ball 50 times for 607 yards and 10 touchdowns, and caught 31 passes for 780 yards and nine touchdowns this season for the Wildcats in their run to the Class 2A state semifinals.

“Anfernee is the kind of kid that you know if you can get the ball in his hands, that every time he touches it he has a chance to take it all the way,” Jensen said.

“As a coach, when games are tight or you need a play, it’s comforting to know that you have that to go to.”

For all of his efforts, Gurley is The Herald’s 2015 Football Athlete of the Year.

Gurley’s 19 offensive touchdowns were the most on a Wildcats team that came up just minutes short of playing in the state championship game. Much of Gurley’s success can be credited to his blazing speed.

“Anfernee has what I call football speed,” Jensen said. “I think part of that is because of his football awareness, but he does have that extra gear that he can kick in to. You can see it on film. When he sees that little hole or that opening that he can get outside on, there is another gear that he hits. Good football players have

that and Anfernee definitely does.”

Gurley was able to use that speed in other areas besides just offense.

He averaged 19.8 yards per kickoff return and 24.6 yards per punt return for the Wildcats this season. He might have done even more damage in the kicking game if the Wildcats defense wasn’t so good. Archbishop Murphy allowed just 5.7 points per game this season, limiting the number of opportunities for Gurley to return kickoffs.

“His chances to be a weapon in the kicking game weren’t

quite what they were previously,” Jensen said. “Obviously, he had a couple of punts that he was able to return.”

There were no limitations on Gurley on the defensive side of the ball. The junior racked up 30 solo tackles, three interceptions and four tackles for loss.

“Him in the secondary and Ben Hines as our middle linebacker were really responsible for getting our defense set this year — Anfernee in the secondary and then Ben with the front seven,” Jensen said. “Anfernee’s football IQ is extremely high.

That’s something that you can

Black is not big for a linebacker — he stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 185 pounds — but his speed, intelligence and instincts make him stand out.

“He sees something one time and he says, ‘OK, I know what this is. If they do this again, I’ve got it,’” Rosenbach said.

“The kid is as good of a football player as I’ve ever coached and I think this is my 18th year,” GP defensive coordinator Steven Hannan added. “He’s the best inside linebacker I’ve ever seen on a high school football field, anywhere.”

Instincts are important, especially against a team such as Bellevue. The Wolverines’ Wing-T offense is designed around misdirection and their opponents often outthink themselves.

“I have my eyes on the backfield and I feel like I can kind of see the plays develop pretty well,” Black said. “I kind of get a feel for where the ball is going.”

In two games against Wolverines this season, Black recorded 29 tackles. The Grizzlies trailed 10-6 in the first meeting when Black left the game with an injury. Without Black on the field, Bellevue added two late touchdowns and won 24-6.

“We’re a really good defense without him,” Rosenbach said, “and I think this was a great defense and an elite defense with him.”

The loss to Bellevue was the Grizzlies’ first of the season, but they bounced back to win

Glacier Peak’s Iain Black finished the season with 71 tackles, 11 for loss.

their next six games, setting up another meeting with Bellevue in the 3A state quarterfinals.

This time the Wolverines won 35-14, ending the Grizzlies’ season.

“We’ve been talking about playing Bellevue since we were freshman,” Black said. “Once we saw our class and the talent we had and what we could do, we

knew if there was anyone that was going to be able to take a shot at them, it was going to be us. I wanted to beat Bellevue more than anything I’ve ever wanted.

“It’s not a good feeling (to lose), but I know that me, and all the other guys, put everything that we had out on the field so I’m sure we have no

teach kids, but coming in as a freshman and sophomore and now as a junior going to be a senior, when he started his football IQ was higher than everyone else on our team.

When you have a guy like that who is a part of your team, it raises the IQ of everybody around you. Situationally, he’s just invaluable in kind of providing that baseline for our kids.”

regrets,” Black added. “I know I don’t have any regrets from that game.”

It wasn’t just the games against Bellevue where Black shined. He was a unanimous All-Wesco South first-team selection and finished the season with 71 tackles, 2½ sacks and 11 tackles for loss. He leaves Glacier Peak as the school’s third all-time leading tackler with 195 and is first all-time in tackles for loss with 40.

“He’s one of those kids that you don’t want to have to game plan against because he kind of reads instinctively. ... He shoots the gap so fast because he makes his reads so well,” Snohomish head coach Kai Smalley said.

“He’s just one of those kids that understands the game and isn’t afraid to jump when he sees the read.”

Despite his success, Black has garnered little attention from colleges, which is likely due to his size.

“I’m open to any opportunities that come my way, so right now I’m just kind of seeing what I can get,” Black said.

If a team is willing to give Black a chance, Hannan said, it will be getting a proven winner.

“If he decides he wants to play football again, someone is going to give him a shot,” Hannan said.

“I don’t know what level that’s going to be, but they’re getting themselves the best football player this state has to offer, I think.”

“He knows how to flip a switch on the field,” Rosenbach added. “He’s not going to lose and he’s not going to let you get the better of him.

“He’s just a bulldog in that way.”

From ‘Angry’ to appreciative Seahawks WR Baldwin playing best football of career

By Gregg Bell

Thiel From Page C1

“So I don’t know what you asked me in the question,” he said as the chuckles died down, “but that’s all I could think of.”

After the press conference, he walked by his questioner.

“You got it outta me,” he said, smiling, and kept walking. The twiceyearly What’s Your Deal?

Bowl is gone, but it is not forgotten.

The disdain Carroll felt for Jim Harbaugh is not apparent with John, considered by many to be the sane brother in the royal family of football coaching. But it is John who remains in place, and who must come up with something to avoid being road kill for Seattle in the way the Vikings were last week in Minneapolis.

He must do it missing seven starters on offense from the lineup that began the season. That includes QB Joe Flacco, leading rusher Justin Forsett (who replaced the notorious Ray Rice) and leading receiver Steve Smith Jr., all injured.

In fact, the Ravens have 16 players on injured reserve, believed to be a league high.

Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dwight Freeney joined the Cardinals a month into the season to help boost Arizona’s troubled pass rush off the edge.

He helped it a whole lot on Thursday night with a game-clinching play.

Freeney stripped the ball from Teddy Bridgewater with 5 seconds remaining to deprive the Vikings a chance at the tying field goal, and the Cardinals clinched a playoff berth with a 23-20 victory over Minnesota.

“That’s why I came back, because moments like this, you can’t duplicate those in life,” Freeney said.

Bridgewater moved the Vikings to the Arizona 31-yard line, well within the range of Blair Walsh. But Freeney hit

The News Tribune

RENTON — He’s best known as Angry Doug Baldwin.

“I don’t have a chip on my shoulder,” he once said. “I have a boulder.”

Deal with him on a regular basis and he’s Articulate Doug Baldwin.

And after the last two games for the Seattle Seahawks’ top receiver — the best two-game stretch of his five years in the NFL, four years at Stanford, four years at Gulf Breeze High School in Florida — he is Appreciative Doug Baldwin.

As in, thanks Mom. His mother Cindy got a call back in Florida from her boy during Baldwin’s junior season at Stanford.

Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh, who had taken over for the fired coach who’d recruited Baldwin, Walt Harris, had had enough of Baldwin. The receiver’s fiery temper was flaring over not getting the ball enough behind Ryan Whalen and Chris Owusu, and with do-it-all Toby Gerhart needing to get the ball in Stanford’s backfield. Even though Baldwin had led Stanford with four touchdown catches as a sophomore in 2008, Harbaugh demoted him. To the scout team.

Not exactly the HOV lane to the NFL. Baldwin raged. He also filled out his NCAA paperwork to get the heck out of Stanford, as far as possible from Harbaugh while still playing college football.

“My junior year was very instrumental in my maturity as a young man and as a football player,” Baldwin said this week, before he and his similarly rampaging offense leads the Seahawks (7-5) into Sunday’s game at Baltimore (4-8). “There’s a lot that went into my junior year.”

How close was Baldwin to leaving school? Maybe even quitting football?

“Very close,” he said. “So close that my mom was the final say.

“She forbid me to leave Stanford.”

Because it was Stanford and he was a year away from getting a degree in science, technology and society with a 3.0 GPA?

Freeney saves Cardinals’ 23-20 win over Vikings

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BASKETBALL

Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has 55 catches and eight touchdowns this season.

“Of course,” he said.

You know the rest.

Mom won. Baldwin got back in enough standing with Harbaugh to catch a college-career-high 58 passes with nine touchdowns his senior season in Stanford’s power-rushing offense. The Cardinal went 12-1, lost only to national runner-up Oregon, and smeared Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

Because he’d only had one breakout season in college — and because, well, he’d been on the scout team in his next-to-last season there — nobody drafted Baldwin. He became the one of the first, shining cases of then-new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider taking a flyer on a undrafted rookie motivated by a boulder on his shoulder.

Baldwin, who turned 27 in September, has become Seattle’s No. 1 wide receiver. He has caught at least 50 passes in four of his five seasons. He got a three-year, $13 million contract extension before last season, a raise from the $1,395,000 total he earned his first three years.

His $2.8 million this season is one of the league’s biggest bargains.

He has a career-high eight touchdown catches in 12 games, tied for

fourth-most in the NFL. That includes the 80-yard catch and run on a throw

by Russell Wilson with 2 minutes remaining two weeks ago to seal the key win over Pittsburgh. That was a throw of faith by Wilson. Baldwin caught it over the middle without seeing the ball until it basically caught him.

Then he ran through two arm tackles for the longest reception of his career.

Last weekend in the third quarter at Minnesota he and Wilson saw the Vikings in a blitz, nosafety-deep look for which they’d been waiting. Wilson changed the play to a post route. Baldwin beat his man easily off the line for a 53-yard score.

He has five TDs in his last two games, capitalizing on the rebounding offensive line giving Wilson more time and a better-formed pocket from which to throw deep. Baldwin’s 55 catches with four regular-season games remaining are 11 fewer than his career-high last season.

Asked in the locker room in Minneapolis following two more TDs in the 38-7 win when the last time was he’d had five touchdowns in two games, Baldwin said: “Little League.”

That’s starting at age seven in the mini-mite

division of the Pensacolaarea youth football league.

Baldwin played for Salvation Army.

Now he’s become a salvation to this previous wayward Seahawks season.

“I think that he’s really clear. Clear on who he is. Really clear on his approach,” Wilson said of good friend. “As we get older, you kind of start seeing more things, understanding more things. We always develop, and we all become more and more mature. I think just watching Doug’s approach to life and watching Doug’s approach to this game and how he studies and everything he does, he does it the right way.

“That’s why he’s playing like a Pro Bowl player, that’s why he’s doing all the things that he deserves.”

Wilson calls playing with Baldwin “a true delight.”

“It’s always been such a great friendship,” Wilson said Thursday.

“You realize his tenacious approach to playing football, just in general.

He’s so hard to cover. He’s so many things. He studies the game. He’s just a great friend, too. Just getting to know him over the past few years has been one of the better relationships I can say, for sure. The trust factor that we have is really, really good.”

“We’re pretty numb to it now,” WR Kamar Aiken told the Baltimore Sun. “It is what it is. We really haven’t had any time to sit back and really think about all the injuries or sit here and soak on them.

We’re just taking it as it goes.”

The missing talent contributed to an agonizing season in which the eight Ravens losses have been by a total of 34 points.

Several defeats also have included jaw-dropping decisions by officials that have gone against the Ravens on critical plays that they believe cost them games.

Every team has similar gripes with officiating. But the collection compromising the Ravens’ run of excellence — they have been to the playoffs in six of the previous seven years — is causing Harbaugh to lament that the league’s reputation is in jeopardy.

“The credibility of the league is at stake, in terms of the credibility of the game,” he said Wednesday in a teleconference with Seattle reporters. “It has to be at the highest level it can possibly be at. I have every confidence that they will pursue that in the offseason, and I’m hopeful that they’ll follow through with it.”

The unraveling of the 49ers is better known in

Seattle. Jim Harbaugh and his assistants fled a dysfunctional organization run by a know-nothing, third-generation owner and his various flunkies, who watched as a series of arrests, retirements and injuries gutted a great team.

When success collapses in the NFL, it is often cruelly swift, abetted by a hard salary cap that forces teams to jettison quality players and backfill with lesser players.

“Success runs away from everybody,” said Seahawks DE Michael Bennett. “Success can do crazy things to you, go to your mind. Over time in the NFL, there’s so much transition, turnover on the roster. You lose so many good players through free agency, things aren’t the same. And there’s an injury rate of 100 percent.

“You’re used to seeing the Ravens win more games. That’s just how it goes in the NFL. Teams have their time periods.

The Patriots are one of the teams that outlived (the annual problems). They’ve been on top a long time; Tom Brady went to the Super Bowl in 2003 and then last year.”

The Patriots’ consistency is the aspiration of the Seahawks, who along with the Packers have done well in staying

a top-tier enterprise.

Delivering year after year has always been Carroll’s utmost priority.

“One of the things that I take the most pride in is trying to prove that” his methods sustain success, he said. “You don’t know until you look back and it’s all over.

“We’re all involved with transitions. (It’s) how you manage them and how you keep going forward.”

The Seahawks are in a fourth season of premium play, a season that started slowly and buttressed opinions of many pundits who said Seattle would fall off significantly once it had to pay top dollar for QB Russell Wilson, robbing them of the ability under the salary cap to fund other positions.

But now, at 7-5 and with a manageable schedule over the final four regular-season games, the pundits appear to have erred. It looks as if the Seahawks will return to the playoffs. Whether that run will include a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance is hard to say.

But it’s far harder to say that for the Ravens and 49ers, darlings of the football world three years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Harbaugh will offer eyewitness testimony.

Hat defenseman Connor Clouston.

White joins forwards Spencer Gerth and Yan Khomenko, and goaltender Carter Hart as the lone 17-year-olds currently on the roster.

“In our group of 98s our depth is a bit thin,” Davidson said. “I’m surprised he was available, but these things happen from time to time.”

Davidson was not sure exactly when White would join the team. The Silvertips return to action Friday when they play at Tri-City for the first time this season. It’s part of a four-game stretch that includes games against all four U.S. Division opponents.

Everett (15-10-0-2, 32 points) will try to move past Wednesday’s 7-5 home loss to Portland — a game the Silvertips led 5-2 in the third period.

“It’s a U.S. Division week — we’ve discussed that and it’s very important to us, and that’s why (a win Wednesday) would have been big,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “It would have been a chance to stay with Spokane and get really close to Seattle. That’s what makes (Wednesday) so disappointing.”

Tri-City (11-17-1-0, 23 points) beat the Silvertips 4-1 last week at Xfinity Arena as four different Americans players scored. Star 16-year-old rookie Michael Rasmussen also finished with a pair of assists in that game. The Americans are coming off a 3-2 loss at Seattle on Saturday.

Parker Bowles (16 goals, 20 assists), Jordan Topping (11 goals, 12 assists), Parker Wotherspoon (five goals, 18 assists) and Beau McCue (nine goals, 11 assists) are the top offensive performers for the Americans.

Evan Sarthou (10-16-1-0, 3.68 goals against average, .882 save percentage) has played 27 games at goaltender for Tri-City.

Seattle (17-9-2-0, 36 points) still held the top spot in the U.S. Division entering Friday’s game with Spokane (16-10-2-1, 35 points). However the Chiefs have defeated the Thunderbirds twice in the past week by scores of 7-1 and 4-2.

Alabama RB Henry wins Maxwell, Doak Walker awards Associated Press ATLANTA — Alabama running back Derrick Henry was the biggest star of college football’s awards night, as he won the Maxwell Award, given to the college player of the year, and the Doak Walker Award given to the nation’s top running back.

The awards were presented for the first time at the College Football Hall of Fame on Thursday.

Also Thursday, Henry was chosen as the Walter Camp National Player of the Year.

Henry joined Trent Richardson, who won in 2011, as the only Alabama players to win the Doak Walker Award. Some other recent winners include Darren McFadden,

Montee Ball and 2014 winner Melvin Gordon.

“This list is legendary,” Henry said. “I’m just thankful to be a part of it.”

Henry, Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson were the finalists for the Maxwell Award and also are the finalists for the Heisman Trophy, to be presented on Saturday.

Watson won the Davey O’Brien Award given to the nation’s top quarterback.

Other award winners Thursday were: Stanford’s Joshua Garnett (Outland Trophy, given to the top interior lineman); Temple’s Tyler Matakevich (Chuck Bednarik Award, given to the nation’s defensive player of the year); UCLA’s Ka’imi Fairbairn

(Lou Groza Award for the nation’s top kicker); Iowa’s Desmond King (Jim Thorpe Award for the nation’s best defensive back); Baylor’s Corey Coleman (Biletnikoff Award for nation’s outstanding receiver); Utah’s Tom Hackett (Ray Guy Award for nation’s top punter).

Claudia McClain (left) watches Matt Hammerstrom’s reaction to receiving a donation from her company, McClain Insurance Services, on Tuesday of 3,848 pairs of socks toward his mission to collect and distribute socks to the homeless this winter. McClain promised to contribute a basket to Hammerstrom’s goal of filling his pickup truck with socks for the homeless but instead gathered thousands with the help of her co-workers and clothing maker Lin Manufacturing.

Keeping feet happy

‘Toevember’ brings in thousands of socks for the homeless

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — What to do with hundreds of pairs of socks?

How about 4,000?

Give them away, of course, which is what Matt Hammerstrom planned on. He just didn’t anticipate the scale of the problem.

“I have this massive pile of socks I’m digging through in my kitchen,” he said last week.

Hammerstrom, who works as a surveyor and with his wife owns Woodinville Florist, had a moment of inspiration the morning of Oct. 31.

“I was sitting around and I had cold feet,” Hammerstrom said.

“I went and got a nice warm pair out of the dryer.”

He had heard about Socktober, the four-year-old charity launched by Brad Montague (the creator of the “Kid President” videos) to provide clean socks to homeless people.

Why not do it himself, he thought. October being almost over, he settled on “Toevember,”

and created a page on Facebook, facebook.com/ sockssavelives.

“I made it public on Facebook so I wouldn’t chicken out and not do it,” Hammerstrom said.

The page went viral, with word spreading throughout the region.

Other people, strangers, stepped forward to collect socks or donate some of their own.

One of those strangers was Claudia McClain, of McClain Insurance Services in Everett.

She saw the page, thought it looked professional, and offered to help.

“I said, ‘You’re looking for south Everett drop-off locations.

We have a video sign right next to Costco,’ ” McClain said.

McClain then highlighted Hammerstrom’s sock drive in her newsletter to customers, and encouraged them to consider supporting Toevember.

The socks came pouring in ... more than 1,500 pairs.

It’s what McClain did next that made a world of difference.

Her agency sponsors Everett’s summertime “Cinema Under

the Stars” program. A few years ago, concurrent with a showing of the movie “Happy Feet,” she contracted with Utah-based Lin Manufacturing to make penguinshaped socks as freebies for kids at the movie.

She went back to Lin and asked to buy 3,000 pairs.

“They threw in an additional 396 pairs,” McClain said.

Then Lin Manufacturing’s staff upped the ante again.

“Their employees picked out of overstock, found nice women’s and children’s socks as well,” McClain said.

Total haul: 3,820 pairs of donated socks. McClain called Hammerstrom to have him come pick them up Dec. 1.

She didn’t tell him how many there would be.

“I had 1,600-1,700 pairs I’d collected before that,” Hammerstrom said. “I figured that would bump us up to 2,000.”

“It was amazing,” Hammerstrom said.

He’s since delivered socks to Cocoon House, Take the Next Step in Monroe, and both the

men’s and women’s Everett Gospel Missions.

He said part of his original impetus was being annoyed at all the negativity he saw on Facebook.

“I wanted to see if there was something positive I could do,” he said.

It’s been a logistical challenge at times, and Hammerstrom admitted he hadn’t completely thought through his plans when he started the drive.

McClain said she was taken

by Hammerstrom’s drive and sincerity.

“What warms my heart is here’s one guy who has an idea and just acts on it and doesn’t really know where it’s going to take him,” she said.

Nearly 4,000 pairs of socks later, Hammerstrom said he’ll do it again next year. In Toevember.

“I’ll keep doing (Toevember),” he said. “The Socktober people can keep their month.”

VA seeks funds to consolidate outside care A

n additional 160,000 veterans became eligible Dec. 1 to receive VA-paid medical care from civilian health care providers, the result of changes to the Choice Act of 2014 voted in several months ago as Congress seeks to ease the flood of complaints still swirling around that poorly designed law.

Meanwhile, VA officials have unveiled a costly, complex and phased plan to consolidate the Choice program with a “patchwork” of other purchased care initiatives enacted over the years, even as VA hospitals continue their own referral agreements with local community providers.

The resulting hodgepodge of purchased care deals and requirements, in the wake of the Choice Act and rising demand for outside care, has created an administrative nightmare for VA care coordinators and sown confusion for many veterans, VA staff and local health care providers.

For the most part, Choice operates nothing like lawmakers or veterans envisioned.

Sloan Gibson, deputy secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeared before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Tuesday to explain the ambitious New Veterans Choice Program to be phased in over several years as well as changes made Dec. 1 to the current Choice program.

Before December, enrolled veterans gained automatic eligibility for Choice if they resided more than 40 miles from any VA medical facility. The Surface

■ They need to travel by air, boat or ferry to the VA medical facility closest to their home, or ■ They face an unusual or excessive burden in traveling to the closest VA medical facility based on geographic challenges, environmental factors, a medical condition, the simplicity or frequency of care needed or whether an attendant is needed. The VA promises to train local VA medical staff to work with veterans to determine if they are eligible for any of these reasons, or ■ They live in a state or territory with no full-service VA medical facility. That includes Alaska, Hawaii, New Hampshire (except for those who live within 20 miles of the White River Junction VA medical center) and U.S. Territories except Puerto Rico.

Vets can verify Choice eligibility and learn more about the program by calling 866-6068198 or go to www.va.gov/opa/ choiceact “We’re making some good progress on Veterans Choice,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., committee chairman. “For all the bad stories you hear about, they’re mostly stories of things that happened in the past that we’re trying to correct, not things happening today.”

But senators from rural states including Alaska, West Virginia and Kansas expressed bitter disappointment with how Choice operates today.

Isakson and the committee’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut,

TOM PHILPOTT MILITARY UPDATE Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Act, now implemented through VA regulation, makes the eligible pool deeper. Vets now have access to Choice if they reside more than 40 miles from a VA facility staffed by a primary care physician at least 36 hours a week.

This opens Choice to 160,500 more veterans enrolled in VA care.

Another Dec. 1 change lifts a requirement that to qualify for Choice a veteran must have enrolled in VA health care by Aug. 1, 2014. That date is removed, making 26,000 recent enrollees eligible for Choice automatically because they live more than 40 miles from VA primary care.

Other enrolled veterans still are eligible to use the Choice program if: ■ Their local VA facility tells them they cannot schedule an appointment within 30 days of the date their physician determines they need to be seen, or within 30 days of the date the veteran wants to be seen if the physician specifies no date, or

agreed the plan to consolidate purchased care leaves Congress with many critical decisions to make and a lot of money at stake.

The task of combining the “patchwork of programs we have now is certainly an urgent one and apparently a very expensive one — $1.9 billion is a lot of money to spend on organization,” Blumenthal said. “I want to know how that money is necessary and specifically what it will be used to do.”

Gibson described the New Veterans Choice Program as “an historic opportunity to make a major advance” in veterans’ health care by creating a truly integrated health system.

Though the VA today refers more veterans to private sector care than ever before, Gibson said, “we’re saddled with a confusing array of programs, authorities and mechanisms that greatly complicate the task of ensuring veterans get the care they need, when and how they need it.”

That array includes Choice, new Patient-Centered Community Care networks (PC3) building across the country, something called Project ARCH, two different VA-paid emergency care plans, VA affiliations with other federal agencies and various academic partners, and numerous individual agreements with VA health facilities and community care providers.

“Each has its own requirements, different eligibility rules, reimbursement rates, different methods of payment and

different funding routes,” Gibson said. “It’s all too complicated — for veterans, for community providers and for VA staff as well.”

On a recent visit to the VA hospital in Charleston, South Carolina, Gibson told the committee, he “watched what our staff was going through in order to set up a Choice referral. It would dumbfound you!”

The consolidation plan, he said, will focus on five goals: Establishing a single set of eligibility criteria based on distance, wait time and availability of VA care, and expanded outside urgent care too; improving access by simplifying authorization and referral processes; partnering with federal, academic and community providers to offer a tiered provider network; better coordination of care by deploying an improved health information exchange; ensuring prompt payment with better billing and claim processing.

Major veterans organizations endorsed the plan, though some cautioned a lot of money could be wasted if not designed and executed well.

Only Concerned Veterans for America, a group funded by the billionaire Koch brothers who oppose big government and sustaining a large bureaucracy to provide veterans health care, attacked the plan as grandiose and wasteful.

Best-price guarantee not being honored

DAILY CROSSWORD

Question: I recently booked a flight from Sacramento, California, to Honolulu for me and my husband using Expedia. Later, I found the exact same itinerary on Travelocity for $176 less.

I called Expedia and asked it to honor its Best Price Guarantee. I am looking to receive the difference between the trip we booked with Expedia for $4,416 and the cost we could have gotten it for, the minute we booked this trip, through Travelocity, which was $4,240.

A representative told me we would be “covered” by the guarantee. In fact, she reassured me a number of times, even after the price jumped from $4,300 to $4,400 before we were able to book it with her through Expedia.

I followed the instructions to request the refund and a $50 travel voucher. Expedia turned me down. I’ve appealed to Expedia’s executives, to no avail. Can you help me?

— Megan Bevens, Sacramento, California Answer: If Expedia promised it would honor its Best Price Guarantee, then it should have.

But the call-center reps you spoke with are trained not to commit to

anything, so I’m not sure if a review of the recording would have indicated anything more than a promise to consider your case.

Expedia’s Best Price Guarantee, like most others, looks like a great deal — until you read the fine print. The guarantee places time limits and other significant conditions on the offer. Most important, it must be an “apples to apples” comparison — an exact itinerary match, including the same dates and times of travel or service as booked through Expedia.com.

That gives online agencies enough wiggle room to escape most claims.

Curiously, Travelocity is now owned by Expedia, so you actually were asking Expedia to honor a lower price on its own site. That

should have been easy for Expedia to verify. But just in case, you saved all your screenshots, which is a smart thing to do.

As a side note, I always recommend that once you’ve made a booking decision, you don’t look back. I know it’s tempting to see if you really got a better deal, but you want to do that before you push the “buy” button. You’ve probably spent more than $176 worth of time pursuing this.

Appealing to an Expedia executive was the right thing to do. I’m surprised that didn’t work, because as far as I can tell, this claim should have been honored.

I contacted Expedia on your behalf. It reviewed your claim and agreed with my assessment.

You’ve been refunded the $176 price difference, plus a $50 travel voucher.

Woman’s family split up by vengeance

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I made a big mistake three years ago. When I found out my husband was cheating on me, I became vengeful and sought revenge. I ended up sleeping with my sister-inlaw’s boyfriend to get back at my husband and at her for some things she did in the past. It took my pain away — for a bit.

I regret what I did every day, and I feel like garbage.

My sister-in-law and I haven’t spoken since I decided to tell her the truth. My husband and I (miraculously) were able to work through our problems, and our relationship is stronger than ever. My sister-in-law and her boyfriend have remained together, and I don’t speak to him anymore either.

What can I do to earn forgiveness? — Only Human In Houston Dear Only Human: Start by apologizing to your sister-in-law. But after that, the decision about whether she can forgive you or wants anything more to do with you will be up to her.

15 Copycat’s comment

Dear Abby: My granddaughter, “Becca,” just turned 6. One of her favorite things to do is role-play, which includes the prince (me) kissing her, sometimes at the end of a wedding ceremony. Becca also likes to sit on my lap.

My wife thinks I shouldn’t allow her to sit there and that the interaction isn’t appropriate. It hurts me and Becca when I tell her we must find some other playtime scenario. I think it’s harmless. Who’s right here? — Baffled Grandpa In El Paso Dear Baffled: Do Becca’s parents agree with your wife? I would be more concerned with whether they consider your playing RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: I married the woman of my dreams two months ago. I asked my father to be my best man and he accepted, but he didn’t fulfill his duties.

There was no bachelor party, no best man speech, and he and my mother left the reception after only an hour. I was hurt.

I have avoided talking to him since. Should I tell him how much he hurt me, or just try to forgive and forget? — Let-Down Groom In Macon, Ga. Dear Groom: I vote for doing both. When your father accepted the invitation, he may not have understood that being your best man would involve more than standing beside you at the altar. Why he and your mother would leave the reception early is puzzling, but it may have meant that for some reason they felt uncomfortable there.

You need to explore that.

Louie was unlucky to find unfavorable breaks in both red suits, but he could still succeed. After he takes the ace of clubs, he leads the queen and a low diamond.

When East discards, Louie wins, goes to the ace of trumps and leads a third diamond. East discards again, but Louie wins and ruffs a diamond in dummy. East can overruff, but Louie has the rest.

New books examine Dylan’s vast discography, Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’

By Jim Higgins

don’t stop me from recommending this book to any Dylan fan.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Count me among those who believe that reading about music enhances the pleasure of listening to it. Two new books may engage you or the music fan in your life, especially the Boomer music fan, with context, analysis and trivia about two of rock’s greatest.

“Bob Dylan All the Songs” takes an encyclopedic approach to the raspy one’s oeuvre, while “This Bird Has Flown” zooms in on one of the Beatles’ pivotal albums, “Rubber Soul.”

French writers Margotin and Guesdon, authors of an earlier “All the Songs” book about the Beatles, bring their chronological, detailstuffed approach to Dylan’s music, beginning with the eponymous “Bob Dylan” album (1962) and working their way through his discography to “Shadows in the Night” (2015).

They also delve into Dylan’s outtakes, particularly those collected in “The Bootleg Series” recordings. Wisely, they offer no unified theory of Dylan — no one has a workable one for this quintessential trickster, not even the man himself.

Dylan being Dylan, he has already crossed them up by releasing “The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965-1966” since the French duo’s book was published. But that does not diminish the nerdy joy of exploring what Margotin and Guesdon have compiled here, a detailed, song-by-song discussion of Dylan’s recorded music. They combed through many earlier books and interviews for details, relevant context and recording circumstances.

(If you want to know which model guitar or microphone Dylan used for a given track, or what key he played harmonica in, Margotin and Guesdon are your guys.) A generous

selection of photos and a colorful, formatted design make this book a pleasure to browse.

For example, their take on “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (1965) cites Malcolm Lowry’s “Under the Volcano,” Orson Welles’ “Touch of Evil” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” as inspirations. In the chapter on the album “Desire” (1976), they report that the great Emmylou Harris is called to the session after Dylan says “I need a girl singer,” but is given virtually no preparation. “He would poke me when he wanted me to jump in,” Harris said. “Somehow I watched his mouth with one eye and the lyrics with the other.”

Occasionally, the authors’ French roots show in a bit of awkward English phrasing. And once in a while, they try too hard for a sweeping or definitive statement. In their prologue to “Love and Theft” (2001), they declare it “Dylan’s return to humor, abandoned since the sixties.” I think they’re overlooking the deep vein of humor in “Gotta Serve Somebody” (1979), for one. But these quibbles

Whether he’s playing music or writing about it, John Kruth does so enthusiastically. Kruth, who lived in Milwaukee from 1986 to 1995, returns to a youthful favorite with “This Bird Has Flown,” a detailed look at “Rubber Soul,” which the Beatles released on Dec. 3, 1965. Kruth’s other books include a biography of Roy Orbison, who turns up occasionally in “This Bird” as a source of inspiration for the Fab Four.

While many fans would name the subsequent “Revolver” (1966) or “Sgt. Pepper” (1967) as the Beatles’ best, Kruth identifies “Rubber Soul” as the album where the Beatles shifted into a more ambitious mode. (I’d call it the album where the Beatles turned rock song into art song.) The British and American releases of “Rubber Soul” were substantially different; Kruth digs into all the songs on both versions, plus the outtake “12-Bar Original.”

In addition to offering many details about inspiration, instrumentation and lyrical intent, Kruth also provides relevant context about the Beatles’s peers, notably Dylan, who influenced them and in turn was inspired by them; the Rolling Stones, whom John Lennon accused of copying the Beatles’ innovations; and the Byrds, who listened closely to the Liverpudlians and picked up a few things, such as chiming 12-string guitar.

For dessert, Kruth considers many cover versions of “Rubber Soul” songs, reminding us of the fabulous Thee Headcoatees take on “Run for Your Life” and of Cornershop’s “Norwegian Wood.” You don’t need to be a Beatlemaniac to enjoy this friendly book.

Ron Howard’s whale tale is a mere minnow ROBERT HORTON

C

hris Hemsworth’s performance as Thor looks like a triumph of realism next to his turn as a Nantucket whaler in “In the Heart of the Sea.” I know it must be difficult for an Australian actor to master a New England accent, but Hemsworth sounds like he’s choking on Boston baked beans for the duration of the film.

Of course, who knows what a Nantucket whaler sounded like in 1820? But the accent is the least of Hemsworth’s problems in “Heart,” an adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick’s nonfiction bestseller about an incredible sea disaster.

In 1821, in the South Pacific, the whaleship Essex was rammed and sunk by a huge whale. The surviving sailors endured ghastly hardships in the following weeks, including starvation.

Two of the survivors later wrote accounts of the nightmare: first mate Owen Chase (Hemsworth) — who frequently clashed with captain George Pollard (Benjamin Walker) — and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson (Tom Holland).

The film is framed around the idea that Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw) visits the older Nickerson (Brendan Gleeson) and cajoles him to tell the Essex story.

Melville will then use the bones of the tale to create

a little novel by the name of “Moby-Dick,” the epic of a white whale with a bad attitude.

Director Ron Howard goes for the spectacle in the film, and there are some amazing incidents along the way. But even at 121 minutes, the film lacks a certain sweep. (I get the feeling there’s a longer cut

somewhere — the movie feels rushed.)

Hemsworth struggles to make an impression; despite his manly appearance, this actor is at his best with comedy. And there ain’t much of that here. As his wife, Charlotte Riley is stuck with the “I’ll be waitin’ for ye” role back home, while Cillian

Ron Howard directs this adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick’s non-fiction bestseller about the doomed 1820 voyage of the whaleship Essex.

There are storms at sea and rapid-fire action, which makes the 3D (available in some theaters) an eye-straining distraction. Perhaps most disappointing is that Howard doesn’t display much wonder at the sea, or the lumpy-looking whales that stand in for Melville’s

mythic Moby Dick.

In one eerie moment, Chase and Nickerson are spattered with bloody whale breath, and pause for a shocked moment, as thought wondering what they’re doing harpooning this giant creature. That’s as close as this film comes to catching an authentic sense of mystery.

Justin Kurzel’s ‘Macbeth’ is bloody good

By Katie Walsh Tribune News Service

Climbing the power ladder is a bloody, bruising business, and that is nevermore so starkly rendered than in Justin Kurzel’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.”

The titular Scottish general turned king (Michael Fassbender) speaks of his “vaunting ambition,” and it is this very ambition, and his wife’s, that leads to their descent into madness and murder.

Kurzel’s take on the age-old story offers stunning visual poetry to match Shakespeare’s verse (though the screenplay is adapted

by Jacob Kosloff, Michael Lesslie and Todd Louiso), and serves a vision of the Scottish king’s political maneuvering in context.

The result is a gorgeous and harrowing portrait of power gone mad.

The story is set in the medieval era of Scottish civil war, opening with the battle of Ellon, led by Macbeth. It’s a brutal fight, quick and savage and chaotic, silhouetted against the misty moors. It’s in the

Macbeth, haunted by guilt, trauma and visions of his teenage son killed in battle, resorts to even more bloodshed and paranoia in order to keep his station.

The film does use Shakespeare’s words for the dialogue, but any confusion is allayed by the masterful visual storytelling that accompanies it, as well as the stellar performances.

Cotillard and Fassbender are typically fantastic and fully embodied in their portrayal of the scheming Macbeths. Cotillard is ethereal but steely, terrifying in her own right. Supporting actors stand out, including Paddy Considine as

Macbeth’s betrayed friend Banquo, and Sean Harris as his foremost enemy, Macduff.

The on-screen world they inhabit is earthy, visceral and organic. It’s made up of flame and blood; mud, mist, fur and fire. Using these elements, Kurzel and director of photography Adam Arkapaw create stunning tableaus — within the Scottish landscape, or lit entirely by candlelight in a banquet hall or temple.

They position the characters on screen in a painterly way — posing them against the landscape or through play with speed in editing,

Performances help ‘James White’ pack a punch

By Robert Horton

“James White” ★★★

Herald Movie Critic

When we first see James White (played by Christopher Abbott), he’s zoned out in a Manhattan nightclub, listening to the beats of the club’s sound system but also tuning into the dreamier music coming through his headphones. He gobbles some booze while other substances presumably course through his bloodstream.

The close-up view of this indie film’s title character is a useful intro. James will be our point of view for the remaining 85 minutes; for better or worse — and it gets worse — the world we see is his.

This early scene in “James White” isn’t over.

Groggy, James stumbles out of the club into morning, and takes a cab to what turns out to be his father’s funeral gathering. Nobody seems too surprised by his disheveled appearance — they already know this guy.

It would be hard enough for James to get his act together, as we expect he will try to do, in the wake of

An indie character study fueled by strong performances: Christopher Abbott as a fuming Manhattanite in the midst of self-destructing, and Cynthia Nixon as his sickly mother. The movie’s not subtle, but its best scenes have a truly explosive quality.

Meanwhile, his mother gets sicker. This leads to some powerful scenes in the latter part of the movie.

J.J. Abrams on the making of the ‘Star Wars’ reboot

By Lindsey Bahr

Showing

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — J.J. Abrams can’t really settle on a favorite moment from his saga of directing, co-writing and co-producing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” but this one isn’t bad.

“Being here now means we’re actually finished with the movie, which is a relief,” Abrams said with Jedi calm.

Perched in a small living room setup inside the cavernous Los Angeles Convention Center, this is the final stretch of Abrams’ journey to this galaxy far, far away and back again, which started nearly three years ago.

The Associated Press spoke with Abrams at a weekend media event in advance of the Dec. 17 release of “The Force Awakens.” The remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.

AP: Lucasfilm’s creative executive Pablo Hidalgo helped you answer questions about the “Star Wars” universe during the making of the film. Did you ever stump him?

ABRAMS: He was not only unstumpable but he was immediate. I would send him an email at almost any hour asking some arcane question and I’d hit send and I’d hear “ding” and he’d already have responded with an answer. What you realize, by the way, in working on these movies is that even things that are canon, that are beloved and absolute to fans, are very much fluid and in flux. For example, the Millennium Falcon itself, the cockpit changed dramatically from the first to the second movie. It’s much

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens Dec. 17 at local movie theaters, including Alderwood Mall, Everett Stadium, Marysville Regal and Galaxy Monroe. It is showing in 3-D at all locations.

bigger in “The Empire Strikes Back.” Even things that are even the most fundamental and beloved are changing before our eyes and we don’t even notice it.

AP: Was there anything you were surprised the powers that be let you do?

ABRAMS: I was most surprised that the studio never said no. That’s incredible to me.

AP: What do you think is the ideal way to watch “The Force Awakens”?

ABRAMS: As someone who really hasn’t been the most vocal advocate of 3-D, the strangest thing happened to me on this.

When I was watching the reels in 3-D, there were

ASSOCIATED PRESS

a number of shots — and I know this sounds insane — that I hadn’t understood in the threedimensional space quite the way I did when I saw them in 3-D. I actually

felt that there were things that were playing better in 3-D. I had never felt that before. And if people have access to a theater that has laser projection, it is shockingly better.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP: Really?

ABRAMS: You cannot compare a traditionally projected image with a laser image. The blacks are true blacks. It’s almost as if you have to adjust to it.

AP: But definitely theatrical?

ABRAMS: The thing that is so fun about “Star Wars,” and I remember this from when I was a kid, was the communal experience of being with hundreds of people and getting to scream and laugh and cheer and cry with the story. It’s got that kind of a pulse and that kind of an engine.

Though I love that we all have access to movies on

the devices in our pockets and I love that home screens are often better than theater 17 at the multiplex, I also feel like movies speak to a human desire, if not need, to congregate and to experience stories communally.

They’re experiences that allow us to feel that connectivity, which is truly what “Star Wars” is all about — the Force and the idea that we’re all connected. In whatever format it is, whatever screening, whatever the best available version is, I would just argue that, if possible, to try to see it with a crowd.

AP: This has been one of the most tightly guarded, high-profile releases in film history.

When do you think it’s appropriate for audiences to start talking and posting about spoilers?

ABRAMS: I think that as people do and as I’m sure that they will, after the first screening of this movie, that aspect will be over, the secrecy. It’s not so much that we feel like the movie doesn’t work if you know what happens, but I do feel like part of the magic of a movie, and certainly “Star Wars,” is to know as little as possible for as long as possible. But I know that people will start talking about what happens immediately.

The Copper Pot

Herald Writer

The building is wedged into a sort of Bermuda triangle on the Edmonds waterfront, stuck in the middle of flowing ferry traffic that alternates north and south as ferries come and go.

The restaurant also doesn’t look like much. It’s a former Skippers and the exterior still gives off that vibe.

Don’t let any of that deter you from going to The Copper Pot. We didn’t, and spurred by a coupon we received, I gathered my family of five and my parents to enjoy a large Indian dinner recently.

One would think with its cramped location, The Copper Pot would have a parking problem. It doesn’t. We swung into a parking lot with close to 20 parking spaces and eased into one of the ubiquitous spots.

The outside may be a little confusing — the nautical theme is completed with portholes — but inside is comfortable and has plenty of seating. Another Indian restaurant was in the space before The Copper Pot and it’s obvious they opened up the dining room to make it more formal than fast food.

With three kids ages 2 to 8 in tow, we’re not the easiest group to accommodate. But the staff at The Copper Pot was great. We arrived earlier than our reservation, but the table was ready and the staff was pouring water before we could sit down.

College football was on the

102 Main St., Edmonds, 425-6976363, edmondscopperpot.com Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Alcohol: Full bar few TVs around the restaurant, but as soon as we sat down the staff changed the TV near us to a cartoon for the kids. I’m not big on letting the little ones watch TV when we’re out, but it was a very nice gesture.

The staff took our drink orders and dropped off a small gratis appetizer of papadums. The housemade lentil chips came with two dipping sauces, herbed mint and tamarind, and were simple and tasty, gearing us up for the taste explosion to come.

Everybody loves naan, the Indian-style leavened white bread, so I’ll spend as little time as possible here. Not because The Copper Pot’s isn’t great, it is, but there’s more to see here.

There are six different kinds of naan to order — we tried four — but the best was the paneer naan, which is stuffed with housemade cheese and nuts.

One of the best things about Indian food is the ability to eat family style, so we did.

We started with a gaggle of appetizers, which range in price from $3.99 to $8.99. The Copper Pot’s appetizer menu is dominated by pakoras and samosas, but don’t stop there. We tried the paneer pakora, which is

housemade cheese pieces deep fried in chickpea flour, calamari and fried chicken. The calamari was so-so, but the fried chicken, boneless pieces marinated overnight in lemon and cumin and topped with chaat masala, and the pakora were amazing.

When it comes to dinner dishes it can be a bit overwhelming. There are the classics, curries and masalas that range in price from $13.99 to $16.99 depending on the meat your order, sizzlers from the tandoori clay oven ($14.99 to $22.99) and plenty of vegan and vegetarian options ($9.99 to $11.99).

All dishes are served with basmati rice, but we also ordered kashmiri pulao, which is basmati rice with fruit, nuts and fresh kashmiri pineapple.

Sharing between three small children and four adults, here’s what we ordered (ranked in order of how fast they were finished): Malai chicken: This dish from the tandoori clay oven is a boneless chicken breast marinated in ginger, garlic, yogurt, butter, cream and Indian spices. It was tender and all of the flavors swirled together beautifully.

Lamb korma: We wanted to get something with lamb and the korma seemed like a great fit.

It was cooked in the traditional cream sauce with cashews and was a good match with the mint naan.

Mango coconut shrimp: Sauteed with onions and a

blend of Indian spiced and then simmered with a tangy mango sauce, this complemented the rice really well.

Goat masala: I had to try the goat. It was a bit gamey, but still good, and the tikka masala sauce was a good match.

For dessert, The Copper Pot has the usual suspects like rice pudding and mango ice cream, but we went with more authentic dishes. We tried rasmalai, a dish of housemade soft cheese patties drenched in sweet milk and topped with grated pistachios, and gulab jamar, which is cheese balls pan fried in butter and finished with a flavorful syrup.

Both were a bit strange to my Northwest palate, but the rasmalai, which had a hint of rose water and was served chilled, was a nice cap to the dinner. For most of us, the gulab jamar was too much of a step out of our comfort zone.

As for drinks, I had a bottle of Stella Artois, which was a nice counteract to the heat and flavors of the food. My wife preferred the subtle spices of the Mumbai martini (gin, vermouth, cardamom pods, curry leaves, ginger, sweet and sour) to the Goa mojito (vodka, light rum, triple sec, cranberry juice, mint, lime juice), and the kids and my parents enjoyed mango lassis all night.

The Copper Pot prides itself on making most of its ingredients in house and that care comes through in the food. Don’t let the outside fool you.

9/11 musical is Seattle’s hottest ticket ‘Come From Away’ was inspired by the warm reception given to stranded travelers in Newfoundland after the terrorist attacks.

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Like most, 7,000 people traveling on 38 jetliners remember where they were on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

But unlike the rest of the world, few of them knew why at first.

While authorities tried to grasp the extent of the terrorist attacks, U.S. airspace was closed and the 38 domestic and international flights were diverted to a huge World War II-era airport at Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. During the flights and while waiting on the tarmac, information about the tragedy was kept from the passengers, until these “come from aways” were welcomed into the arms of the islanders.

That’s the back story of the blockbuster new musical “Come From Away,” playing now at the Seattle Repertory Theatre.

It closes Dec. 20; so run for the box office.

Probably the hottest ticket in town, the musical was written by the Canadian husband-wife team of David Hein and Irene Sankoff, who traveled to the small town of Gander in September 2011 for the 10th anniversary of the “landing of the plane people.”

Now New Yorkers who were living in Manhattan on 9/11, the couple spent nearly a month in Gander

interviewing the travelers and the local folks.

Most new musicals get “work-shopped” before making their big debuts.

“Come From Away” spent time in Seattle at the 5th Avenue before premiering May 29 at the La Jolla Playhouse in California.

The run at the Rep is coproduced with La Jolla, and many in the cast are from the original show.

Notable regional actors in the production are Erik Ankrim, who has done a lot of work with 5th Avenue, Village Theatre and others, and Rodney Hicks, who has Seattle and New York credits.

The show is performed

by 12 actors who take on multiple roles as locals and travelers. The set is beautifully bare-boned, with the atmosphere created by a few trees and expert lighting, the side of a rustic building and a dozen mismatched chairs on a turntable floor.

In 90 nonstop minutes or so, the cast takes the audience from the moment people in Gander watched on TV as the World Trade Center was going down in flames, to the landing of the 38 airplanes and the feeding and housing of all the passengers, who nearly doubled the population of Gander for a few days.

An evening farewell party then becomes the morning departure day.

The Rep’s packed house on Sunday night was spellbound as the stories unfolded of the mother whose son was a firefighter in Manhattan, the Texas woman who piloted one of the flights, the mayor of Gander, the school librarian, the local TV reporter, the air traffic controllers and the animal shelter manager who cared for the animals on the airplanes, including two bonobo chimps. We learn — through history, humanity and heartfelt experiences — about a gay couple, an African couple who

doesn’t speak English, a Muslim chef, a Jewish rabbi, a Texan woman and a British man who fall in love, and the woman on one of the flights who keeps singing “My Heart Will Go On” from the Titanic movie.

Many new musicals leave audience members trying in vain to recall the tunes. My husband and I can still hear the stomping and singing of the on-stage Celtic band that included a fiddle, pipes, bodhran, accordion, bass, guitar and something called an “ugly stick.”

“I am an islander, I am an islander.”

My favorite scene is

REVIEW

5th Ave’s ‘Sound of Music’ worthy of the famous story

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

SEATTLE — The 5th Avenue Theatre’s holiday offering is a fun and family friendly version of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music.”

If you can’t get in before Christmas, you have until Jan. 3 to see this classic musical.

Even for diehard fans of the Julie Andrews/Christopher Plummer film, this production proves itself to be well done.

The show opens and closes with the voices of the nuns of the Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg, Austria, before the start of World War II. The women of the talented ensemble join 5th veteran Anne Allgood as Mother Abbess and the primary Sisters (Frances Leah King, Jayne Muirhead and Carol Swarbrick) to produce a beautiful female chorus, a true highlight of the show.

A local young woman named Maria, who hopes to become a nun at the abbey, is sent to serve as a nanny for a widowed Austrian captain’s seven children. She doesn’t become a nun, and you probably know the rest of the famous story.

Maria is played by Seattle actor Kirsten deLohr Helland, whose most recent credits include Eponine in Village Theatre’s “Les Miserables,” Rizzo in “Grease” at the 5th and Siren in “Lizard Boy” at Seattle Repertory. Her Maria’s chemistry with the von Trapp children is outstanding.

played by Hans Altwies, who previously performed at the 5th as Bill Sykes in “Oliver.”

Of the children, most notable is Shaye Hodgins, who does a great job as Liesl, and Mark Jeffrey James Weber (last year’s Ralphie in “A Christmas Story”) as Friedrich.

Also notable are Jessica Skerritt (last year’s mother in “A Christmas

Story”) as the Baroness Elsa Schrader, David Pichette as the concert promoter Max Detweiler and Lori Larsen as Frau Schmidt, the von Trapp family’s housekeeper. It was fun to see Pichette and Larsen, who made their names close to 40 years ago with the nowgone Empty Space Theatre, still working in professional theater. Empty Space was one of the theater groups that helped catapult Seattle into its current standing as one of the best theater cities in the country.

As always, the 5th ensemble’s singing and dancing is wonderful, the sets, lights, costumes are pleasing and the orchestra is outstanding.

Go and enjoy ”My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.”

Olympic Ballet Theatre’s full-length traditional production of “The Nutcracker,” set to the music of Tchaikovsky, brings to the stage not only the story of Clara and her prince, but a Christmas tree that grows, a booming cannon and a larger-than-life Mother Ginger and her bouncing Buffoons.

Olympic Ballet Theatre’s “The Nutcracker” features Prix de Lausanne winner Andrei Vassiliev as the prince.

Olympic Ballet Theatre is a cornerstone of the Snohomish County performing arts scene. The ballet company offers a talented corps of dancers and a production with new staging and backdrops that premiered last year.

Because it is performed in intimate venues, the production offers good viewing for audience members of all ages, Vinson said.

Cascade Symphony’s conductor Michael Miropolsky is on a brief hiatus from the podium,

Collins has conducted a variety of ensembles including symphony, chamber, and

pit orchestras, as well as contemporary music ensembles ranging from beginning to professional level. He currently serves as conductor of The Sound Ensemble. In 2013 he made his international debut

in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he conducted the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic as a prize winner of the Fifth International Master Class in Orchestral Conducting. Collins also will conduct the CSO concert on Jan. 18, featuring Duane Hulbert performing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto.

Miropolsky will return for the “Peter and the Wolf” Children’s Concert on Feb. 20. The rest of the season includes Eric Han performing the Dvorak Cello Concerto on March 14, the CSO Ensemble Concert on April 17, and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony with soloist Kimberly Giordano on May 9.

Because CSO concerts routinely sell out, patrons are asked to return any tickets they will not use to the ECA box office. Cascade Symphony’s season tickets are still available. Prices are $92 for adults and $76 for seniors.

Sno-King Community Chorale’s season continues on March 19 with a concert version of the musical “Phantom of the Opera” and on June 11 with a concert version of the musical “Carousel.”

Muse rocks KeyArena this Saturday

By Andy Rathbun Herald Writer

Muse has been playing arenas for a decade, so it’s a little surprising that the group just this year finally hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The group’s latest effort, “Drones,” was its first to top the weekly sales chart, yet another way to solidify its status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

Now the British act is heading out on tour. It plays KeyArena in Seattle at 8 p.m. Dec. 12.

The group’s sound is like Radiohead on steroids, with singer Matthew Bellamy belting out lyrics that mix love and sci-fi. It’s a formula that’s helped keep them on the alt-rock charts for a decade, with hits like “Knights of Cydonia” and “Madness” showcasing the group’s penchant for tricky guitar solos and arenaready anthems.

Tickets are $35.50 to $65.50 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

A pair of shows also is headed to the Showbox SoDo in the days ahead.

First up is a visit from Falling in Reverse and Atreyu at 7 p.m. Dec. 14, as the two acts continue their Christmas Vacation tour.

Falling in Reverse got its start while frontman Ronnie Radke was serving a prison sentence for a parole violation. He created the group’s splintery, post-hardcore sound by meeting with bandmates during visiting hours and writing in his ample spare time.

Since then, his act has released three albums — all hits — with its latest, “Just Like You,” reaching

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ciara is set to perform Dec. 16 at the Showbox.

Matt Bellamy of Muse is set to perform Dec. 12 at KeyArena.

No. 21 on the charts earlier this year.

Atreyu’s like-minded sound also has found an audience with the kids dressed in black. The group has landed hits on the rock charts with songs including “Falling Down” and “Becoming the Bull.”

It’s touring now, after the September release of “Long Live.”

Tickets are $25 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Then, the SoDo will host Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, which will play the venue at 8 p.m.

Dec. 15.

Bradlee, a pianist and arranger, has made a name for himself thanks to a series of viral videos that put an old-timey spin on modern songs. Basically, instead of updating old songs, he adds a sepia tone to new ones.

His take on Miley Cyrus,

the White Stripes and Taylor Swift have given each act a sound more in line with the 1940s and 1950s pop.

Tickets are $32 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

R&B star Ciara, meanwhile, is set to play the Showbox at 8 p.m. Dec. 16, as she tours behind her new album, “Jackie.”

The singer hit it big early in her career when some of her first singles, including “Goodies” and “1, 2 Step,” became No. 1 hits on the Top 40 charts. Her sound has since matured, with the singer drawing on hiphop and soul for some of her later releases.

Tickets are $40 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Billy Gibbons and the BFGs also are headed to Seattle, playing the Neptune Theatre at 8 p.m. Dec. 13.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gibbons is most famous as the guitarist for famed blues rock band ZZ Top. He’s touring now after the winter release of a solo album with his new backing band, the BFGs. That disc, “Perfectamundo,” showcased a Cuban-influenced sound.

Tickets are $48 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Finally, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff will play Seattle’s Columbia City Theater at 7 p.m. Dec. 14, as he marks the 10-year anniversary of his critical and commercial breakthrough album, “Black Sheep Boy.” That disc, which will serve as the focus of Sheff’s solo acoustic set, was an emotionally intense album that established Okkervil River’s sound, which is a little like a roots rock version of Arcade Fire.

Tickets are $20 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Pacifica Chamber Orchestra’s Christmas concert this Sunday Herald Staff EVERETT — Pacifica Chamber Orchestra plans a Christmas concert that leader Fred Chu describes as “playful and joyous.”

The concert is set for 3 p.m. Dec. 13 at First Presbyterian Church, 2936 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

Tickets are $20 or $15 for students.

The program opens with Cambini’s “delightful and upbeat” Wind Quintet No. 1 in B flat major, Chu said.

Next up is Vaughan Williams’ “Charterhouse Suite” for Strings, a light piece full of surprises originally found in his children’s song book.

Irvin Fine’s Partita for Wind Quintet opens the second half, and Mendelssohn’s String Symphony No. 6, which he wrote when he was just 12, shows the composer’s “youthfulness and energy,” Chu said.

A reception follows the concert.

The orchestra’s season continues Feb. 14 with Five Greek Dances by Skalkottas, “Red Plum Blossom” by Wu (with erhu soloist Warren Chang), “Pastorale” by Milhaud, “Piccola Oferta Musicale” for Wind Quintet by Rota and Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge.

On April 10, the chamber group plays to perform Poulenc’s Concerto for Organ and Strings (with organist Youngjjn Joo), Klughardt’s Wind Quintet Op. 70, Ligeti’s “Six Bagatelles” and Andriessen’s “Kuhnau Variations.”

The season finale on June 5 features Block’s Concertino for Flute, Viola and Strings (with flutist Lynn Douglas-Nicolet and violist Agnes Chen), Ibert’s “Divertisement” and a Ballet Suite for Strings and Percussion by Shchedrin.

Savchenko has composed a new “Waltz for Jocelin” for their dance.

The Dance Wellness program in Everett schools takes the place of physical education classes for kids who want a different way to exercise. Run by Foraponova with assistance from her daughter Dascha Wright and Kym Zion, Dance Wellness attracted about 2,000 Everett students who participated last spring. Some of those students also will perform.

Others performing include the Steely Dan tribute band called Nearly Dan, members of the Total Experience Gospel Choir, Dascha Wright, Daniel Yeboah, Summer Watson, Victoria Burnett, Jack Klitzman, Darelle Holden, Carl Kelley, Victor Benedetti, David Narvaez and the Pacific Ballroom Dance Company.

Years ago, Jocelin told her mother that she dreamed of dancing. The desire was passed from leadership at Children’s Center at Providence Hospital to Dr. Wright, a Providence neurosurgeon. Foraponova set up lessons for Jocelin and music was composed for her by Russian violinist Artem Savchenko. When Jocelin performed in 2012, it generated a standing ovation, Wright said.

The successful presentation of Jocelin Meadows lead to the formation of the program for children with special needs at the Dorothy Jayne Studio.

Under the direction of their instructor, Irina Hensler, more children will perform on Saturday.
