Fire likely won’t affect 777X schedule By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — A two-alarm fire Saturday night at Boeing’s Paine Field plant is not expected to affect the production schedule for the 777X, which is first to be

delivered in 2020. The fire was in the unfinished Building 40-58, where Boeing plans to make the composite-material wing for its newest jetliner. No one was injured by the fire. Boeing fire crews found a roof

fire about 20 feet by 40 feet when they arrived at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman said. With help from other local fire departments, firefighters quickly got the blaze under control, he said.

The cause is under investigation. Boeing knocked down several single-story office buildings last year to clear the way for Building 40-58, which it also calls the Composite Wing Center. The building will house three massive autoclaves for cooking

the composite materials used in making the 777X’s wings. As many as 1,500 workers and 17 cranes have been on site during construction, which was begun in late 2014 and is to finish See FIRE, Page A7

EVERETT — An Arlington man admitted Monday that he is responsible for killing Jessica Jones, a young mother who grew up in Marysville and on the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Jones was shot in the head April 8, 2014, during an argument with her boyfriend, Daniel Rinker. She died the next day when life-support measures were removed. She was 25. When detectives confronted Rinker, he denied that he pulled the trigger. Instead, he insisted that Jones was hit by gunfire from a passing car. Arlington police detectives built their case against him, finding neighbors who heard yelling and then a single gunshot. A witness saw Rinker run from the garage

Stormtroopers, droids invade ‘Force’ premiere By Derrik J. Lang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Stormtroopers marched and droids rolled down the red carpet at “The Force Awakens” world premiere Monday, heralding the return of “Star Wars” after a decade-long absence from the big screen. A giant opaque tent shrouded the carpet, which was lined with Stormtrooper mannequins and neon lights that resembled giant lightsabers. Inside the tent, a whole constellation of stars were assembled, including Harrison Ford, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Favreau and Janelle Monae. Before the film’s human stars arrived, the droid BB-8 rolled by the cameras. The soccerball-esque droid has been a popular fixture in trailers for the seventh “Star Wars” film, and it was soon joined by series mainstays C-3PO and R2-D2. John Williams’ soaring score played as “The Force Awakens” cast, including Ford, Nyong’o, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Max von Sydow, Gwendolyn Christie, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley conducted interviews. At one point, Fisher turned the microphone on her co-star, Oscar Isaac, and conducted an interview that included her dropping an expletive. Ford reflected on the impact of the film and the role that catapulted him to superstardom. “Well, in the ‘70s nobody knew what to anticipate,” Ford said in an interview with Starwars.com. “Nobody had ever seen anything like it. Now we have to live up to what the first films delivered.” Despite being in charge of “The Force Awakens” for the past three years, director J.J. Abrams seemed overwhelmed by the magnitude of the premiere. “It’s very surreal. I’ve never seen this kind of thing,” he told Starwars.com. “It’s insane. I feel enormously guilty for this community, this neighborhood.” Also present for the premiere was “Star Wars” creator George Lucas. Disney took over a half-mile

section of Hollywood Boulevard for the premiere, where the film was screening at three theaters. Some 5,000 invited guests would see the characters Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo reunite for the first time on the big screen since 1983’s “Return of the Jedi.” In bleachers set up on the boulevard, some fans dressed as X-Wing pilots while others held up helmets resembling those worn by bounty hunters in the film. Security around the site was high, with metal detectors screening pedestrians and police dogs checking the area. For those without tickets to the premiere, the most they could see was the outside of the tent. “We’re really disappointed because we are big Star Wars fans, and we were hoping to at least see a little of the celebrities,” said

But for a lifelong “Star Wars” fan, it was tough being that close to the premiere and not getting a better look. “I wanted to see the old cast members because I grew up with these films,” she said. Actors Chadwick Boseman and Sarah Hyland and director Steven Spielberg were among the Hollywood stars who attended what could be the largest Hollywood premiere ever. One of the

participating theaters — the iconic TCL Chinese — hosted the premiere of the original “Star Wars” in 1977. Spielberg praised the franchise, saying he knew when the first film was released that it would be an enduring hit. “It was a slow burn, but I knew it would never go away,” Spielberg told Starwars.com. “The Force Awakens” opens to the public Friday and some expect the film to break box office records, as it has already with presale tickets.

Teen arrested after weekend homicide The 19-year-old is accused of shooting a 17-year-old in the head Saturday at a home south of Everett. By Scott North and Diana Hefley Herald Writers

EVERETT — A young felon who was forbidden from owning firearms was arrested Monday in connection with Saturday’s fatal shooting of a 17-year-old

Everett boy. Diego Tavares, 19, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree murder. He was expected to make a first court appearance Tuesday. Tavares made headlines early this year when he confronted

a woman in the parking lot at Alderwood mall and demanded her purse. He picked the wrong victim: a former police officer, 60, who fought back and then gave chase. The commotion caught the attention of three U.S. Marines who were at a nearby recruiting station. They detained Tavares until police arrived. Tavares pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree theft. He

was sentenced to two months in jail for the felony and admonished that he could not own or possess firearms. He’s now suspected of shooting a teen in the head at a house party early Saturday morning. The shooting occurred at a home in the 12300 block of Fourth Place W, just south of Everett, said Shari Ireton, a spokeswoman with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Snohomish teacher chosen to keep students, educators interested By Amy Nile Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — She’s finding ways to keep agriculture teachers from burning out. Tracy Brown, an educator at Snohomish High School, was among 19 instructors from across the country chosen to go to New Orleans in November. The group worked come up with solutions to common problems that cause agriculture teachers to leave the job. All educators, especially those who teach agriculture, are being asked to do more with less, Brown said. That leaves little time for anything else. They are tasked with opening students’ eyes to the wide variety of careers in the industry. That’s important because more farmers are needed to feed the world’s growing population as

resources and the amount of land available to produce crops dwindles, she said. “We all just want to do

everything for kids,” Brown said. “We have to look at what we’re doing and what benefits kids most.”

The National Association of Agricultural Educators program taught her to limit projects she takes on to those that are most meaningful for students. Brown learned to “juggle elephants” by balancing her job with her personal life. “If you’re the ringleader of a circus, you have a professional ring, a personal or self ring and a relationships ring,” she explained. “You have to give each one its own attention or your elephants are going to fall.” To free some of her time in the classroom, she’s enlisted the help of people in the community. She made how-to sheets for some of the tasks she used to walk though with students in Future Farmers of America. Brown has her sights set on helping kids connect with See AG, Page A4

SEATTLE — Nineteen groups led by the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter Monday to drugstore chain Walgreens expressing concerns about the company’s plans for a Catholic hospital to run its in-store health clinics in Washington and Oregon. In the letter, the organizations

asked if the clinics would allow access to contraception, abortion drugs and prescriptions to help terminally ill patients end their own lives, which is legal in both states. The groups note that other health organizations have stopped providing abortions after partnering with Providence Health, the Catholic hospital. “In our states, we have consistently seen that when secular entities join with religious health

OSO — The construction company that rebuilt a stretch of Highway 530 after the catastrophic mudslide is donating land to Snohomish County. The County Council on Monday agreed to accept 36 acres from Guy F. Atkinson Construction. The company was awarded the state contract to rebuild a stretch of the highway destroyed in the March 22, 2014, mudslide. Forty-three people died in the disaster, which covered a square mile in debris. The state Department of Transportation reopened the highway to two-way traffic about six months later, ahead of schedule. As part of its work for the state, Atkinson Construction bought land to recreate wetland and stream habitat impacted by the roadwork. “We’re effectively done,” said Geoff Shook, a locally based manager for the Golden, Colorado, headquartered company. “This is the last piece of work.” The company plans to continue monitoring vegetation planted for the habitat work over the next three years. The county intends to keep the land as open space, said Heather Kelly, the official responsible for long-term sliderecovery efforts. The area is off limits to the public. It’s not the only property in the slide zone destined to remain open space. That’s also the county’s plan for any land it acquires through a federally funded buyout program. The county has sent buyout offers to the owners of 100 parcels affected by the slide. Separately, the county purchased 13 acres for a future memorial near Steelhead Drive, a street where many of the slide victims lived. The newly donated property lies south of Highway 530, across from C-Post Road with portions extending toward Seattle City Light power lines. It’s valued at $260,000. The company bought it last year from Gary “Mac” McPherson, whose wife, Linda McPherson, was killed in the slide. She was a longtime librarian and school-board member in Darrington.

later in the day. “A vehicle that was seen dropping off the victim at Swedish was later located by deputies at the residence where the shooting is believed to have occurred,” Ireton said. “Deputies observed what appeared to be blood in the interior of the vehicle. The suspect was identified, taken into custody and booked into the Snohomish County Jail

this morning.” Detectives are investigating whether gangs are somehow involved in Saturday’s shooting, Ireton said. The victim’s identity was not immediately released by officials, but over the weekend, friends and family took to social media to mark his passing. A candlelight vigil was staged Sunday for Anthony “Chino” Camacho. Camacho was a student

at ACES High School in the Mukilteo School District and was just a few days shy of turning 18, said his friend since childhood, Jessica Silva, 18. She organized Sunday’s vigil. About 50 people attended and they raised more than $1,300 to help Camacho’s family pay for his funeral, Silva said. Camacho’s friends and family are convinced his death was the result of his just being in the wrong

place at the wrong time, she said. He knew people who were involved in gangs, but he was not, Silva said. “He just liked to hang out,” she said. “He was pretty much the one who kept everybody smiling. One thing everyone will remember is his smile.” Camacho was dealing with the recent death of his mother, but expected to graduate this year, Silva said.

Court papers show Camacho had his own scrapes with the law, including juvenile arrests and prosecutions for tagging and weapons violations. The gunfire early Saturday occurred in a part of the county that in recent months has seen violence involving young men, firearms and gangs. In August, a 15-yearold was shot in the chest after rival gang members

confronted each other at a stoplight on Fourth Avenue W. The boy injured in that incident allegedly obtained a handgun a couple of months later. He’s now accused of shooting his brother, 11, while messing around with the weapon early this month. The younger boy survived the bullet wound to his face. Silva said Camacho knew the young man who was charged with the August shooting.

State’s first charter school to go back to private

Walgreens would continue to serve all customers equally, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It questioned whether transgender men or women will be able to receive a prescription for hormone therapy at one of the clinics. “Can Walgreens offer assurances that its LGBTQ customers and LGBTQ patients at the clinics will be treated with dignity and respect and will receive the same medical standard of care as any other customer?” the letter said. Walgreens has announced that Providence Health will be opening 25 health clinics within its stores. The Catholic hospital said it did not expect services at its Express Care clinics to go beyond treatment of minor illnesses, from colds and sprains to skin infections, and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Other issues will be referred to primary or specialty care providers, spokeswoman Colleen Wadden said. She promised that all patients, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, would be treated with the same respect, care and compassion. The Providence spokeswoman did not mention contraceptive services in her written statement, but Walgreens said those services are offered at the more than 400 health clinic locations it manages and would continue to be offered. “We have no plans to change any of our current policies in light of the Providence relationship,” said Jim Cohn, a spokesman for the Deerfield, Illinoisbased company. This is the first time Walgreens has collaborated with another health care company to operate a clinic in one of its stores. All the rest are run by Walgreens, Cohn said.

SEATTLE — The first charter school in Washington will go back to being a tuition-free private school after the state Supreme Court struck down the charter school law as unconstitutional, officials announced Monday. All nine charter schools in Washington, including eight that opened last fall, have been scrambling to find a way to keep their doors open after losing state funding. The others said last week that they will go a different way, trying to become so-called Alternative Learning Experiences under the umbrella of a traditional school district. First Place, a school for kindergarten through fifth grades, said it received a grant to stay open for the rest of the school year without state funds or disruption to its 106 students. It was a private school for decades, serving homeless and other

vulnerable students in Seattle’s Central District, before becoming Washington’s first charter school last year. First Place had a rough transition to a public school, in part because it was the first school to do so. State officials also had issues with the blurred lines between the school and its supporting nonprofit organization, which provided health care and other services to the families of students. The statewide Charter School Commission had put First Place on probation for failing to create a

For the state’s eight other charter schools, the Mary Walker School District in Stevens County said it was working with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to bring them under its umbrella. The plan would allow the schools to stay open and receive state education dollars.

Associated Press SEATTLE — The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the rough arrest of a University of Washington student by Seattle police in 2012. David Pontecorvo said he was pulled off his front porch by officers and beaten with fists, batons and a flashlight because he was videotaping as they arrested one of his friends during a party. His lawyer said he underwent surgery in June to repair his damaged sinuses, and the city of Seattle recently agreed to pay $100,000 to settle Pontecorvo’s lawsuit. The Seattle Times reported that the FBI sent a letter this month advising the Seattle Police Department that the bureau had launched an investigation into the arrest, and that it was seeking incident reports, photographs, medical records, witness statements and other documentation of the officers’ actions.

Stanwood man detained after threatening police, judges Associated Press

SEATTLE â€” A federal magistrate Monday ordered a Stanwood man to remain in custody on a firearms charge after federal

prosecutors said he has made threats against law enforcement, judges and the FBI. Schuyler Barbeau is charged with illegally possessing a semiautomatic AR-15, 5.56 millimeter

short-barrel assault rifle that had been modified to fire as a fully automatic weapon. Federal prosecutors said Barbeau had warned that if the FBI tried to capture him, he had the firepower to put up a large â€œfirefightâ€? and

had posted on social media that Timothy McVeigh, the domestic terrorist who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma, was his hero. The magistrate agreed with prosecutors that

Barbeau is a danger to the community and should be detained. Barbeauâ€™s lawyer, Federal Public Defender Dennis Carroll, declined to comment Monday. The FBI agent who investigated the case said Barbeau

wanted to sell that rifle and use the money to buy a more powerful firearm, according to the complaint. The agent said Barbeau told a confidential informant that he wanted a gun that fired 7.62-millimeter rounds because they would be more effective in shoot-outs with law enforcement. Federal agents started watching Barbeau in June after an informant reported that he had made numerous threats against police and the judiciary. The informant told the FBI that Barbeau frequently said the federal government â€œwas not abiding by the principles set forth in the constitution and that many public servants, such as judges and police officers who had sworn to uphold it, had deviated from their oath of office,â€? the agent said in the complaint. Barbeau allegedly also said that he and other â€œlike-mindedâ€? individuals planned to physically remove a California judge who presided over a misdemeanor firearms case against him in 2014. The informant said Barbeau was always armed with a .45 caliber pistol and frequently had a shortbarreled AR-15 rifle, body armor and a helmet in his vehicle, the complaint said. The rifle was not registered to Barbeau, the complaint said. The agent said he tracked Barbeauâ€™s Facebook account and saw that he was actively trying to sell the rifle. The agents set up a meeting between Barbeau and the informant so the person could buy it for $5,000. After the sale Nov. 22, the informant contacted the FBI, a complaint was filed Dec. 2 and Barbeau was taken into custody within four days.

Feb. 17, 1918 - Dec. 8, 2015 Margaret passed away peacefully after a short bout with pneumonia. She was born February 17, 1918, to Daniel and Annabel Hopkins at La Crosse, Wash. When Margaret started school she rode her horse to a one room schoolhouse near St. John, Wash. and graduated from St. John High School as valedictorian of her class in 19 3 5 . W h i l e s t i l l i n h i g h school she became the first secretar y for the fledgling Inland Power and Light Co-op which provided electric service to rural areas south of Spokane, Wash. She t y p e d a l l t h e c o r r e s p o n d e n c e , b y l aw s , etc, for her father, a leading founder and first president. She gave countless hours of volunteer time before the coop could afford a secretary. Margaret graduated from Washington State College Phi Beta Kappa, taught commercial studies at Omak High School, and then married Thomas Logen, whom she had met at WSC. They made their home at Stanwood, Wash. where they operated the family dair y and Tom was the first A g teacher at Stanwood High School. Tom died in a farm a c c i d e n t i n e a r l y 1 9 51 , leaving Margaret with two little boys and a baby girl to support. Margaret then began her long career as a paralegal, initially with Howard Graham then Charles Cole, Bob Cole and Greg Gilday in Stanwood, where she worked until age 95. Margaret was a devoted volunteer at the Stanwood U n i te d M e t h o d i s t C h u rc h and ser ved in secretarial p o s i t i o n s , a s a g r e e t e r, S u n d a y S c h o o l t e a c h e r, c h o i r m e m b e r, s o l o i s t , organist, and as a member of the bell choir, where she rang the largest bells. Margaret loved to travel-anywhere--whether abroad or in the US, most often with other family members. Her travels to Europe, Asia and Australia were great adventures, and her winter sojourns to warmer climates in the US with her sister and brother-in-law were particular highlights. Margaret is survived by a sister, Helen (Don) Cowan of St. John; her children, Dan ( P a t ) o f S t a n w o o d , Ly n n (Judy) of Bellevue, Wash. and Barbara of Goleta, Calif.; five grandchildren: Bonnie Logen of Stanwood, Erik (Vicki) Logen of St. John, Graham (Megan Foster) Logen of Stanwood, K a r e n ( G e o f f ) Ly o n s o f Bellevue, and Karsten (Jackie McDowell) Logen of Kent, Wash.; and five greatgrandsons. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Tom and her brother, Howard Hopkins. We are grateful for her long life, strong character, gentle ways, humor, reser ve and strong work ethic. She particularly enjoyed working i n h e r g a rd e n , a t te n d i n g musical concerts and family gatherings. There will be a celebration of her life at Stanwood United Methodist Church on January 16, 2015, at 2 p.m. Memorials may be made to Stanwood United Methodist Church or Stanwood Historical Society.

HONOLULU — A college student in a Honolulu courtroom Monday used a soft voice to recount his drunken behavior on a flight from Seattle to Maui, which included hitting a flight attendant. “I was not kind and I was yelling obscenities and I was making threats,” Eric Matthew Schneider said of the Aug. 3 flight. He was charged with interfering with a flight crew, a felony, after the FBI accused him of threatening to kill passengers, shoving an attendant and busting out of plastic handcuffs. In a deal with prosecutors, Schneider pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault on an aircraft and could receive a sentence of up to a year in jail. Schneider said he was drinking alcohol before and during the flight. He struck a flight attendant while flailing his arms as he was being restrained in plastic handcuffs, he said. It was about two hours into the flight when an intoxicated Schneider became verbally abusive toward passengers and challenged crew members to fight, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Brady said. One of the physical confrontations ended with Schneider falling into a passenger’s lap and ripping a galley curtain off its rings, the FBI wrote in a criminal complaint at the time. Schneider had a double tequila cocktail and demanded more drinks, according to the complaint. He broke free from a set of plastic handcuffs, requiring another set be placed on him, authorities said. Schneider also urinated all over the floor and walls of a restroom, Brady said. He’s banned from flying on Delta Air Lines. Sentencing is scheduled for April 1.

Spotlight shifts at GOP debate Cruz challenges Trump; Rubio aims for Cruz; the rest hang in there By Julie Pace

ACROSS THE U.S.

Bergdahl facing desertion charge

around one candidate, the nomination could go to Trump or Cruz — candidates they see as all but unelectable in a contest with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Still, there have been some signs of movement in early voting states since Republicans last took the debate stage. Cruz’s rise in Iowa has been accompanied by a precipitous decline for Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who has struggled with inexperience on national security matters. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is enjoying increasing support in New Hampshire, which helped him regain his spot on the main debate stage after being downgraded in November. “I’ve been making executive decisions for 13 years and been held accountable for them,” Christie told AP in an interview. “There’s no other way to get ready for the presidency than that; you have to have executive experience to be successful.” Also on the main stage Tuesday night will be Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former business executive Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Four lowerpolling candidates will appear at an earlier event: former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former New York Gov. George Pataki and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. For struggling candidates, the debates will be one of their last opportunities to change the trajectory of their campaigns before voting begins in Iowa Feb. 1. The stakes are particularly high for Bush, who was once seen as a frontrunner for the Republican nomination and has raised more money than any other candidate. Bush has scoffed at suggestions that he should drop out of the race before voting begins. But that idea is likely to build if he delivers another lackluster debate performance.

WASHINGTON — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held captive by the Taliban for five years and freed in exchange for five detainees in Guantanamo Bay, will face charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy in a general court-martial, the Army said Monday. If convicted, Bergdahl could get life in prison on the misbehavior charge and up to five years for desertion. He also could be dishonorably discharged, reduced in rank and made to forfeit all pay. Bergdahl, 29, of Hailey, Idaho, walked off his post in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. He was released in the prisoner swap in late May 2014 that touched off a firestorm of criticism, with some in Congress accusing President Barack Obama of jeopardizing the safety of a nation for a deserter. A date for an arraignment hearing at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, will be announced later.

Obama vows to hit IS harder

Three-quarters of California’s paroled sex offenders previously banned from living near parks, schools and other places where children congregate now face no housing restrictions after the state changed its policy in response to a court ruling that said the prohibition only applies to child molesters, according to data compiled at the request of The Associated Press. The rate is far higher than officials initially predicted. The state expected half of the 5,900 parolees would have restrictions on where they can live or sleep lifted when the corrections department changed its policy following the March ruling. Instead, data shows that 76 percent of offenders no longer are subject to the voter-approved restrictions.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump will be standing at center stage, but Ted Cruz will be in the spotlight at Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate. The Texas senator is challenging Trump’s lead in the kickoff Iowa caucuses, and he has the money, campaign infrastructure and conservative appeal to compete deep into the GOP primary season. Those assets now make him a target for his rivals, most notably Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Trump and Cruz have been getting along for months, and that has protected the senator from the harsh criticism the businessman has flung against other opponents. But signs of a split have emerged in recent days, with Cruz appearing to question Trump’s judgment at a private fundraiser, according to audio obtained by The New York Times, and Trump calling Cruz “a little bit of a maniac.” “Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack,” Trump wrote on Twitter last week. “I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall like all others. Will be easy!” Another intriguing dynamic in Tuesday’s prime-time debate in Las Vegas involves Cruz and Rubio. Both are firstterm senators and Cuban Americans who see themselves as alternatives to Trump, who has baffled Republican leaders with his political durability. Cruz and Rubio have been sparring from afar for weeks, particularly over national security, which is now a top campaign issue following the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. Rubio has tried to brand Cruz as an isolationist and has criticized his support for ending the bulk collection of Americans’ phone records, saying it weakens the government’s ability to identify potential terrorists.

Republican candidate Ted Cruz speaks in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 10. The Texas senator is challenging Trump’s lead in Iowa.

Follow the debate The fifth Republican presidential debate will be held Tuesday at The Venetian in Las Vegas. It will be hosted by CNN and Salem Radio. The first of the night’s debates — the undercard forum — starts at 3 p.m. Pacific. The prime-time session starts at 5:30 Pacific. “There are some differences in policy,” Rubio said of Cruz in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “I think we need to be the national security party, the party of strong national security, committed to ensuring we have the strongest military force in the world.” More broadly, Rubio’s campaign is eager to cast Cruz, who prides himself on being a conservative “truth-teller,” as a politically expedient flipflopper who is willing to say whatever is necessary to win an election. Rubio’s campaign has raised questions about the consistency of Cruz’s positions on sending troops to the Middle East, as well as his ambiguousness on whether he would allow immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to stay in the country. Cruz’s campaign has dismissed Rubio’s criticism, with spokesman Rick Tyler saying, “Nobody believes Senator Cruz is weak on national defense

and security.” Tuesday’s debate will be the first for Republicans in more than a month, and also the first since the attacks in Paris and California. The four previous GOP debates had record viewership, giving the candidates an unparalleled platform to reach voters. With just six weeks until voting begins, the broad contours of the race remain consistent. Trump still sits atop the GOP field, displaying a talent for connecting with voters frustrated with Washington and on edge about the threat of terrorism. He continues to make controversial comments that might disqualify more traditional candidates, including his recent call for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. More experienced politicians are still struggling to break through in the crowded field. Some party leaders fear that unless the party’s establishment wing quickly rallies

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday vowed to accelerate the U.S.led military campaign against the Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, implicitly acknowledging that progress has been too slow as the extremist group expands its reach with deadly attacks beyond the Middle East. Speaking at the Pentagon after meeting with his National Security Council, Obama revealed that a group of American special operations commandos has begun working with local fighters in Syria to “tighten the squeeze” on Raqqa, the extremists’ nominal capital. He cited this as an example of aggressive new action, in addition to an intensified bombing of the oil infrastructure in Syria that provides much of the Islamic State’s revenue. The administration said in late October that Obama had approved sending up to 50 special operations troops to Syria on the first open-ended mission by U.S. ground forces in Syria. Until now, U.S. officials had refused to say whether the American commandos had begun their mission. Obama said his strategy is moving ahead with “a great sense of urgency,” an assertion that critics say belies the slow pace of progress in Iraq and Syria. Drawing an implied contrast with military prescriptions offered by Republican presidential candidates, including Ted Cruz’s call to “carpet bomb them into oblivion,” Obama said, “We have to be smart, targeting ISIL surgically, with

precision” airstrikes while local forces do the ground combat. As national security takes center stage in the presidential race, Obama also is hoping to counter Donald Trump and his inflammatory remarks about Muslims, which Obama believes endangers U.S. national security. On a conference call Monday with religious leaders, top White House officials pledged vigilance by the Justice Department in pursuing hate crimes and other civil rights violations, calling an attack on any faith an attack on all faiths. Obama’s aides were also holding separate meetings at the White House with Muslim leaders and with Sikh leaders. The president’s appearance at the Pentagon was part of a weeklong push to explain his strategy for stopping the Islamic State group abroad and its sympathizers at home. Obama is scheduled to attend a briefing at the National Counterterrorism Center on Thursday. He noted that his

defense secretary, Ash Carter, departed Monday for Turkey and the Middle East to seek more coalition military contributions to the counter-IS campaign. He also sent Secretary of State John Kerry to Moscow to try to narrow gaps with Russia over a political transition to end Syria’s civil war. The president’s string of terror-related appearances this week, shortly before Christmas, comes amid public jitters about the specter of extremism after deadly attacks in California and Paris. Seven in 10 Americans rate the risk of an attack in the U.S. as at least somewhat high, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll — a sharp increase from the five in 10 who said that in January. Just 28 percent in the survey said Obama had clearly explained the United States’ goals in fighting the Islamic State, while 68 percent said he had not. Only a little over a week ago Obama sought to allay

concerns in an Oval Office address, but critics said his words failed to reassure. “The American people are smart enough to know when something is working or not, and it’s obvious that the president’s current strategy isn’t working,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in response to Obama’s appearance at the Pentagon. Speaking with top military leaders at his side, including Gen. Lloyd Austin, the Central Command chief who is spearheading the counterIS campaign, Obama cited a range of evidence that IS is weakening, including what he called instances of its fighters defecting and its territory shrinking. But he also acknowledged that recent terrorists attacks, including those in Paris and San Bernardino, illustrate the need to hit IS harder. “We recognize that progress needs to keep coming faster,” Obama said. Notably, the military leaders appearing with Obama at the Pentagon included Gen. Joseph Votel, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, whose forces are playing a bigger role in both Iraq and Syria. Earlier this month Carter announced that Obama had approved sending to Iraq a “specialized expeditionary targeting force” to clandestinely conduct raids against Islamic State leaders in Iraq and Syria and conduct other sensitive missions. That deployment and numerous other adjustments announced in recent weeks are aimed at bolstering a military strategy under heavy fire from critics.

Immigrant screening The Obama administration is reviewing procedures for vetting would-be immigrants, with an eye toward examining applicants’ online presence, the White House said Monday. Spokesman Josh Earnest said the Homeland Security and State departments have been asked to review the process for screening people who apply for visas and to return with specific recommendations. The Homeland Security Department said it is specifically reviewing policies on when authorities at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can look at social media posts as part of the vetting process for would-be immigrants applying for certain visas.

Ill.: Police officer acquitted A judge Monday acquitted a Chicago police commander accused of shoving his gun down a suspect’s throat, outlining what she said were flaws in the state’s case and stressing that it shouldn’t be conflated with other recent cases of alleged police misconduct that have come to the fore in Chicago and elsewhere. Cook County Judge Diane Cannon found Cmdr. Glenn Evans not guilty of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and official misconduct stemming from the 2013 arrest of Rickey Williams, whom Evans believed he had seen holding a gun.

AROUND THE WORLD Israeli: Defense minister blasts veterans’ group Israel’s defense minister has condemned an organization critical of the army and directed the military to exclude it from any activities. Moshe Yaalon said he has forbidden Breaking the Silence from conducting any activities with the military because the group “is part of the attempts to delegitimize us.” Since its founding in 2004, the group of former Israeli soldiers has collected testimony from more than 1,000 veterans who described improper or illegal behavior against Palestinians.

Argentina: 43 officers die At least 43 police officers were killed Monday when a bus in a convoy in northern Argentina blew a tire and veered off a bridge, falling at about 65 feet. The bus was one of three carrying police near Salta, 932 miles north of Buenos Aires. The National Gendarmerie officers, a special police force typically charged with patrolling frontier regions, were on their way to a region in northern Argentina that borders Bolivia. Officials said 20 officers were injured and warned the death toll could rise. From Herald news services

FAA requires drone registration By Tom Krisher Associated Press

Spurred by numerous reports of drones flying near jets and airports, the federal government will require that the aircraft be registered to make it easier to identify owners and educate amateur aviators. The move, announced Monday by the Federal Aviation Administration, comes at a time when the agency is receiving more than 100 reports per month about drones flying near manned aircraft. The FAA prohibits drones and model airplanes from flying higher than 400 feet or within 5 miles of an airport. Drones have become increasingly popular with hobbyists. The FAA estimates that 1.6 million small unmanned aircraft will be sold this year, with half during the

last three months of the year. The drones must be marked with the owner’s unique registration number. The FAA said that would let authorities track down owners if they violate the rules. But registration also gives the agency a vehicle to educate owners just as thousands get drones as presents for Christmas and other holidays. The requirement covers aircraft weighing from more than half pound up to 55 pounds,

including any payload such as a camera. Drone owners who are 13 and older will have to register on an FAA website that becomes available starting Monday. The FAA expects parents to register for younger children. Registration will cost $5 and must be renewed every three years, but the fee will be waived for the first 30 days, until Jan. 20. Owners will have to mark aircraft with an identification number. Recreational fliers can register as many aircraft as they want on one registration number. Most people who fly drones and model aircraft have little aviation experience, but they become pilots as soon as they start to fly, said Deputy FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker. “They have the responsibility to fly safely, and there are rules and regulations that apply to them,” he said.

Those who got drones before Dec. 21 must register by Feb. 19. People who buy them later must register before their first outdoor flight. Owners will have to provide their name, home address and email, and their identity will be verified and payments made by credit card, the agency said. The move by the FAA disappointed a large group representing model airplane users. The Muncie, Indiana-based Academy of Model Aeronautics said registration is an “unnecessary burden for our more than 185,000 members who have been operating safely for decades.” The requirement won support from others, including the Air Line Pilots Association, which said it is a tool to help make sure drone owners share the skies safely with airplanes.

From roadkill to the runway By Philip Marcelo Associated Press

BOSTON — Pamela Paquin’s source for fashion is either “tres chic” or will make you shriek. She creates neck muffs, leg warmers, hats, purses and more from roadkill, or “accidental fur,” as she prefers to call it. As owner of Petite Mort Furs, a 2-year-old Boston-area company, she said she’s offering the fur industry an alternative to wild fur trapping and large-scale fur farms. “All this fur is being thrown away,” Paquin said. “If we can pick that up, we never have to kill another fur-bearing animal again.” Keith Kaplan, head of the Fur Information Council of America, said his trade group considers all North American furs to already be ethically and environmentally responsible. “Production of fur in North America is highly regulated with guidelines set through years and years (and millions of dollars) of scientific study,” he said via email, declining to comment on Paquin’s company or the general idea of using roadkill for fur. “In fact, the populations of every species used by the industry today are as abundant, or more abundant, than they were a century ago.” Animal rights groups also have mixed feelings about roadkill fur. “We’d just say it’s in very poor taste,” said Kara Holmquist at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, declining to elaborate. Lisa Lange, a senior vice president at People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals, or PETA, said that there’s “never an excuse” to wear fur, but that it’s “far better” to wear roadkill than farmed fur.

EVERETT — Aviation agencies in Canada and Australia have restricted Boeing 787 operations due to a software glitch that has incorrectly reported a plane’s location to air traffic controllers on at least five occasions, reports Flightglobal’s Stephen Trimble. Boeing said the glitch is not a safety concern. Nonetheless, the company expects to soon send instructions on how to

Goodyear to make 777X tires EVERETT — The Boeing Co. has picked the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. to make the tires for the 777X airliner, which Boeing plans to assemble in Everett. Goodyear is supplying its Flight Radial tire for the 777X’s landing gear, the Akron, Ohio-based company said. “The 777X supply agreement is a very important next step in the continuation of the long-standing relationship between Goodyear and Boeing,” Goodyear Vice President Pierre Jambon said in announcing the contract.

Boeing boosts dividend The Boeing Co. is raising its quarterly dividend 20 percent and setting a new stock buyback plan of up to $14 billion. The Chicago-based company said Monday the new buyback authorization replaces an existing $12 billion stock repurchase plan under which about $5.25 billion remained. Boeing will pay the higher dividend of $1.09 per share March 4 to shareholders of record Feb. 12.

Others worry her products could only serve to prolong the industry they’ve spent decades trying to defeat. “A business that promotes wearing real fur as fashionable and acceptable may well create more demand for fur from all sources, and could give all fur wearers a shield from legitimate criticism,” said Virginia Fuller, of the Boston-area Citizens to End Animal Suffering and Exploitation, or CEASE. Paquin counters that the stigma around fur has eroded in

recent years. Greater spending power in China, Russia and elsewhere, as well as greater use of fake fur trimmings on clothes and accessories, has revived its popularity. That demand, she said, is part of the reason she chose to jump into the industry despite having no background in fashion or design, and after working mostly office jobs for environmental and sustainability organizations. Paquin works with animal control specialists to gather the carcasses, but skins many of

them herself. The Fur Information Council of America said the U.S. alone recorded $1.5 billion in fur sales in 2014. Globally, it’s part of an over $35 billion industry. “Clearly advocacy had failed,” Paquin said. “Alternatives must be found. Making use of animals that would otherwise be thrown away is sensible.” Heidi Forbes Öste, a San Francisco-area resident who purchased a fox fur neck muff from Petit Mort last summer, said she’s surprised at the pushback from animal rights groups. “They’re being short-sighted,” she said. “We should be encouraging people to buy sustainable fur. These are animals that are already dead.” Products by Petit Mort, which means “the little death” in French and also describes the sensation of orgasm, are decidedly highend, ranging from $800 to $2,000, depending on the product and type of fur used. “The value that these products have is that they’re handmade, local and last a lifetime,” Paquin said.

The aerospace giant has already fixed the problem in the factory, so new Dreamliners are unaffected. Flightglobal does not say when the problem was resolved in the factory.

In rare circumstances, that could cause the plane’s location to be erroneously reported, Trimble writes.

U.S. officials and human rights activists are urging Americans to not buy fish and shrimp tied to supply chains in Thailand. The Associated Press reported Monday that it found enslaved workers who were forced to peel shrimp in Thailand for up to 16 hours a day for little or no pay, and many were locked inside for months or even years on end. U.S. customs records show the shrimp made its way into the supply chains of major U.S. food stores and retailers.

Natural gas plunges Mild temperatures have cooled demand for natural gas, sending its price down sharply Monday. Stocks of companies that produce natural gas also fell. Natural gas is used to heat more than half of U.S. households, according to the American Petroleum Institute. But with unseasonably warm temperatures around the country, there’s less demand for it. There’s also an oversupply of natural gas that’s pushing prices down.

Airlines on time The nation’s leading airlines posted one of their best-ever monthly on-time performances in October, the third straight month where more than 80 percent of flights arrived punctually. Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Air had the best ratings, while Spirit was the only airline with an on-time rating below 80 percent.

Opinion A11

THE DAILY HERALD

WWW.HERALDNET.COM

More than buyer must beware the companies to sell 168 of their stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and New Mexico. Haggen, a Bellingham-based grocery chain, bought 146 of the stores for $300 million in January, growing from 18 stores in Washington into a regional player in the West about nine times its size. But nearly from the start, Haggen struggled. It sued Albertsons, claiming anticompetitive practices had threatened its entry into its new markets. By the end of summer Haggen announced the sale of the stores it recently purchased, its bankruptcy and later its intention to sell its core of original stores, many of them still successful. Having to backtrack its original intention, the FTC had to agree to allow Albertsons to buy back many of the stores it was ordered to sell, a

result that a Wall Street Journal article called “a misfire by U.S. antitrust enforcers.” A bankruptcy judge approved Albertsons’ repurchase of about 30 stores in the five states for $14 million; at least a half-dozen of them went for $1 along with taking on each store’s liabilities. Some smaller communities, the Wall Street Journal reported, are left with just a Safeway and an Albertsons, both owned by the same company now. So much for competitive prices in those communities. The failure also affected many workers who had initially stayed on as Haggen took over their stores. A clause in the FTC’s initial order forbade Safeway or Albertsons from hiring away their former employees from Haggen, even after Haggen stores closed. Following a request by U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Washington,

who represents the Sixth District communities in the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas, the FTC waived that prohibition, allowing those workers to again take jobs at a Safeway or Albertsons. Kilmer announced legislation Monday at a closed Haggen store in Gig Harbor that would prohibit such noncompete clauses from applying to workers in any future corporate merger. This year’s events should also provide some lessons and second thoughts for how such mergers and the requirements meant to protect consumers are handled. If it wants to serve the interests of consumers, the FTC ought to look more closely at prospective buyers when it requires such sales to ensure they can manage their new acquisitions and offer the competition the agency desires to promote.

Additionally, the editorial claims Everett Community College will save $20,000 a year by using “green” building standards. Such projections are routinely inaccurate. Washington’s legislative audit agency found “green” schools cost more to build and actually use more energy than traditional buildings. While environmental activists like to tout Washington’s leadership on climate policy, the real record is one of failure. Witness the millions spent by Snohomish County to build an oilseed crushing plan to produce biofuel — a plant that is still producing nothing years after being built, wasting

time and money that could have produced real carbon reductions. If we are truly serious about solutions, we will demand results, not make excuses or waste money to show “leadership.” If the Paris accords are just another catalyst to temperamental environmentalism, they will reinforce these counterproductive trends, we will lose more time, waste more money and squander more opportunity to help the environment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■GUN FATALITIES

Exaggerations, semantics no help Regarding the letter, “Ammo purchases no one’s business”: Incredible. First we heard that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Then it was that “only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun.” Then, “we should ban cars as well, because they kill more people than guns.” Now the latest letter writer compares ammunition to ... groceries? Kelly Mercier Everett

■■CLIMATE ACCORD

Paris deal won’t lead to results The Herald Sunday editorial, “Paris talks and local efforts,” praises the Paris climate accord, hoping it will provide a thoughtful policy direction. Unfortunately, it is more likely to serve as environmental aphrodisiac, encouraging passion to overwhelm progress. The editorial says “solar is increasingly popular in Washington state,” noting a 9 percent increase since 2013. This is extremely misleading. Solar represents less than 0.01 percent of Washington’s

Further, solar is an expensive way to cut carbon emissions, nearly twice as expensive as wind and hydro power and is projected to stay that way for many years. Solar is sexy but is not environmentally responsible.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Apple Health funding

Many not getting dental care they need By Dr. Eve Rutherford

he media’s coverage of the rows of dental stations that lined the KeyArena floor earlier this fall was an incredible sight. Had I not known otherwise, I would have thought the large-scale humanitarian effort was in a developing country rather than in of one the most prosperous regions in our state. The makeshift dental department was part of the Seattle/King County Clinic: a four-day event to provide free dental, medical and vision care to people throughout the state. Of 4,010 patients admitted, 2,314 sought dental care. Many of the patients seeking dental care traveled from Lynnwood, Everett, Marysville and as far north as Mount Vernon. Organizers said the demand was so great that many others were turned away by late morning each day. The demand illustrates the reality that dental care remains out of reach for many people in Washington. That

includes many lower income adults with Apple Health coverage, the state’s Medicaid program. That’s because the adult Apple Health dental program as it exists today is underfunded and unable to meet current demands, so many who need the care the most are often the least likely to get it. For many Apple Health patients, their only options are to either seek care at a rare charitable event or go to a hospital emergency room, where they may receive medication to relieve pain and infection, but not the care needed to address the underlying causes of their suffering. People who cannot get oral health care often experience serious, and expensive, health complications. Untreated dental disease can affect an individual’s overall health, employment opportunities, nutrition and quality of life. Among those seeking dental care was Kevin of Lake Stevens. The 43-yearold mechanic cracked a front

tooth more than year ago. He had been unable to find a dentist who would accept his Apple Health coverage, and paying out of pocket was too expensive. Kevin said the day at the Seattle Center was time well spent. “I’m in a lot of pain and this is my only option,” he said. “Without this [Seattle/King County Clinic], I don’t know what I’d do.” Lawmakers are currently looking at raising reimbursement rates for lower-income diabetic and pregnant dental patients, because studies have shown that preventive care reduces the likelihood of severe and costly complications. But others with dental coverage through Apple Health, including the working poor living in urban, suburban and rural communities, are also underserved when it comes to dental care. And because Apple Health provides a reimbursement rate of only about a quarter (28 percent) of private rates, dental care access for these

IN OUR VIEW | Haggen and the FTC

Whether out of convenience, habit, a sense of loyalty or a combination of those, most of us do our grocery shopping at the same one or two stores and even have our favorite checkers there. For many, that was thrown into turmoil this year with Haggen’s failed acquisition of 146 Albertsons and Safeway stores and its subsequent bankruptcy proceedings, spelling the looming end of a respected regional company, the loss of jobs for many, the closure of some stores, a reshuffling of others and a failure of a federal agency’s attempt to protect the consumers’ interests. When grocery giants Albertsons and Safeway proposed a $9.2 billion merger, the Federal Trade Commission, in order to preserve competitiveness and fair prices in more than 100 communities throughout the West, required

people will continue to be a growing problem. On the other hand, raising Apple Health rates will make it possible for providers to treat Medicaid patients. I am thankful for the Seattle/King County Clinic, which aimed to fill unmet needs for people who can’t afford or can’t get health care, was a partnership of more than 100 health organizations and more than 1,500 health care workers. The four days of care for people of all ages, including the majority who arrived before sunrise, constituted one of the largest nonprofit undertakings in our region for the second year in a row. However, it’s time our Legislature and health policy makers partnered with the community to help increase long-term access. Targeted investments in dental care will lead to better health, and to taxpayer savings in the long run. Eve Rutherford, DDS, has practiced dentistry in Snohomish for 13 years.

Cruz isn’t cure for Trump that GOP hopes for

f Ted Cruz is the Republican Party’s cure for Donald Trump, the antidote may be worse than the poison. With polls showing the Texas senator rising to challenge the bombastic billionaire nationwide — and zooming past him in first-inthe-nation Iowa — the months-long bromance between the two men seems at an end. Trump raised questions Sunday EUGENE ROBINSON about Cruz’s temperament and judgment, saying he had been “frankly like a little bit of a maniac” in the Senate. Laugh out loud, if you will, at the idea of Trump calling anyone maniacal. But the front-running tycoon has a point. It was Cruz, after all, who repeatedly crossed to the other side of the Capitol and led the House Republicans toward fiscal cliff after fiscal cliff. It was Cruz who shockingly called Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor. It was Cruz whom veteran Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, dismissed as a “wacko bird.” Cruz, in fact, has spent his brief Senate career going out of his way to alienate the GOP establishment. To say the least, that’s an unorthodox way to court the party’s presidential nomination. But even his harshest critics agree that Cruz is whipsmart — and that he has run, thus far, an impressive campaign. The Real Clear Politics poll average has Cruz second nationally among Republican voters at 16.3 percent. That puts him well behind Trump, who towers over the field with 31.4 percent support, but means he has overtaken Sen. Marco Rubio R-Florida, the darling of the Republican establishment, who now lags with 13.3 percent. And in Iowa, the Des Moines Register poll — considered the gold standard for handicapping that state’s caucuses — has Cruz leading all comers with 31 percent, followed by Trump with 21 percent. Winning in Iowa is far from a guarantee of securing the nomination; just ask Mike Huckabee, who won the state in 2008, or Rick Santorum, who won it in 2012. Both found that while give-no-quarter social conservatism played well in the Hawkeye State, it had much less resonance in New Hampshire and beyond. But this is a weird year, to put it mildly. Trump’s dominance of the campaign has panicked party elders who fear he would be an electoral disaster as the nominee. Trump’s extreme positions — promising to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and block all foreign Muslims from entering the country, to name just two — may play well with much of the GOP base. But they appall middle-of-theroad voters and could make this a “wave” election in which the Republican majorities in Congress are threatened. So it is only natural that the party would look for a savior. If Rubio turns out not to have staying power and if Jeb Bush’s sparkless candidacy fails to ignite, then maybe Cruz becomes the designated Trumpslayer by default. The problem is that having Cruz at the top of the ticket could be as disastrous for the Republican Party as rolling the dice with Trump. Many of Cruz’s views are even more extreme — and more distant from the American mainstream. Begin with his contention that “President Obama is the most radical president this nation’s ever seen.” The activist GOP base may agree, but it’s useful to recall that voters did elect the alleged radical. Twice. On climate change, Cruz is a full-fledged denier. A one-time clerk for the late William Rehnquist when he was chief justice, Cruz has characterized recent Supreme Court decisions legalizing same-sex marriage and upholding the Affordable Care Act as the “very definition of tyranny.” When Cruz said “we are facing what I consider to be the epic battle of our generation,” he was referring not to jihadist terrorism but to the fact that the government is helping people buy health insurance. He is CubanAmerican, but his anti-immigrant rhetoric approximates Trump’s. According to the Real Clear Politics average, only Trump fares worse among leading GOP candidates in a hypothetical matchup against Hillary Clinton. But Trump, at least, cloaks his unthinkable policies beneath a certain populist appeal. Cruz’s self-assured extremism tells whole classes of voters — independents, minorities, women — to look elsewhere. Party leaders want the GOP to be more open and inclusive. Cruz would veer the party sharply in the other direction. Team Clinton must be smiling. Eugene Robinson’s email address is eugenerobinson@washpost.com.

LEGION OF

Varooooom

Local car club members bring their ‘A’ game to their rides ... and go way beyond bumper stickers

porting Seahawks colors on game day isn’t enough. These fans roll Beast Mode year-round. They are members of Hawk Wheels, a new 12th Man car club for boldly blinged motorists. There are no dues, but there are standards. “You need four directions of bling,” said club organizer Mike Wear. “Not like a Seahawks sticker on your car. Not those people who fly their little flags. We’re the kind of people who plaster the entire rig and put lights on.” What’s up with that? “We’re blue-collar boom,” said Wear, 47, a fix-it guy with blueand-green hair and a 1998 VW “Beetle of Boom.” “We’re average joes who love the Seahawks, who go overboard on their cars. We’re not loaded, but we watch religiously. I’ve been to one game in my life.” The club was formed three months ago when Wear met two other Snohomish County guys with Hawked-out vehicles at an Evergreen Speedway Seahawks event. Andy Aguinaldo was there with his blue Suzuki sport motorcycle and Marvin Golesch with his green off-road play toy. “We needed a Seahawks car club on the north side of Seattle,” said Aguinaldo, 54, a Boeing production manager. Wear created a Facebook page and the club was official. Four Hawk Wheels members competed with other Seahawksthemed car clubs in the region at a Kent car show in October and took home three trophies. Eight participated in Marysville’s holiday parade. Hawk Wheels has a roster of 13 vehicles that includes a Harley, a BMW, a minivan, a Chevy Cruze and a food truck. Sure, members like to show off. But it’s more than that. Charity is a key component. They collect for food banks and help homeless people. This Saturday, Hawk Wheels is hosting a “12s for Tots” toy drive in the parking lot by Toys R Us on Everett Mall Way in Everett. Other times, you might see the tricked-out fleet lined up outside

They have jerseys personalized with the nicknames of their rigs. Aguinaldo’s crotch-rocket bike is “Crotch Lockett.” He has a custom trailer on order. “The inside, when you open the lid, it’s going to be like you’re looking into a stadium and a football field,”

Aguinaldo said. Another beetle is “Pinky Hawkadero.” “It’s blue-purple — blurple — with pink rims and pink seats,” Marianne Martinez-Evans, 46, said of her 2000 VW. “It’s a girlie car.” She works at an embroidery company and does other jobs to help support her Hawks habit. A constructive outlet, unlike others in her past, she said. “I’m a woman in recovery. Five years clean and sober,” Martinez-Evans said. “It’s something outside my 12-step programs. I get to be active in society and give back. My car makes me really happy. I’m not the only one who gets something out of it. A lot of other people do.” She and Wear both have

electric guitars that match their beetles. Shaun Garringer, 37, a heavy structure mechanic at Boeing, festooned his 2015 Chevy Cruze with decals and lights. It’s only a start. He plans next to pimp out the wheels and interior of “Boom Cruzer.” “It gets a lot of attention. I love the look on the faces when people drive by and the kids who want to get pictures with it,” he said. Those who carry a badge are welcome. Garringer recalled his encounter with an Everett policeman. “I was in the Safeway parking lot and he pulled behind me and I was, ‘Uh-oh, what did I do?’ He comes out and goes, ‘I really love your car. Can I take a picture with it?’ ”

Toy drive A toy drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 19 in the parking lot by Toys R Us, 1325 SE Everett Mall Way, Everett. Can’t make it?

the chat Dan Gregory AKA “MR. DAN” Gregory, 39, describes himself as a Northwest born and raised artist living his dream, drawing for a living. The 1994 Marysville Pilchuck High School graduate is owner of 1976 It’s Just Art, a studio in Seattle. He has a permanent booth at Pike Place Market. His latest drawings depict “a bunch of fictional characters all waiting in line for ‘Star Wars.’” What are you wearing? 4 bracelets, 9 rings, 1 watch, sunglasses all the time, skate shoes and lots of the color black. What influence did your Snohomish County upbringing have on your art? I was the kid drawing in every class all the time. I did all my studying and homework at the last possible second. Mrs. (Julie)

Coburn, my art teacher at MPHS, will always stand out in my mind as one who really encouraged my art and creativity. Mrs. Coburn, thank you. Why Star Wars? I’m a big Star Wars fan. I like to draw things related to my life, so a lot of Star Wars. How do you describe your drawings? The artwork is inspired by pop culture and my journey through it. The characters always take on their own stories in my mind, so I draw them above and beyond the real movie. What’s the price range? The limited edition Star Wars prints, 11-by-17, numbered and signed, is $100 for the set of four. Other prints of my drawings: 8-by-10 for $10 and 11-by-14 for $20. Buy two, get a third for free. I call that my get love-give love policy. I sell hand-painted designs on recycled vinyl records as well. Which Star Wars character would you most like to have a beer with? I would enjoy a cold brew with Princess Leia, because she has Jedi potential.

INSIDE: Carolyn Hax, 2

Biggest worry as an artist: That I will die without accomplishing all of my ideas. Biggest joy: I get to do for a living what I’m passionate about. Three things in your art tool kit: Micron and Prismacolor pens and markers. And a pencil. Favorite thing or person to draw: Robots. Finish this sentence: People are shocked... That I had gray hair when I was 15. Pet peeve: Annoying people. Guilty pleasure: Candy. Three things in your fridge: Chocolate milk. Homestyle ranch dressing. H2O.

Happiness can be found with a little help

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I’m a 40-year-old woman and I realized I don’t remember being actually happy for any moment in my life. I wasn’t upset at my happy times, just kind of numb. And I have three kids and a husband. That’s not normal, right? Something’s holding me back from experiencing joy. The things I do enjoy are superficial, like a TV show or a good piece of chocolate. On the other hand, I don’t cry much. I told my husband I wanted to get therapy for myself, and while he thought that was fine, he didn’t seem to think I really needed it. But, I’m tired of not being happy. — No Happiest Moments? Then therapy is an excellent idea — and don’t get discouraged if you don’t get results with the first person you see. You ask, “That’s not normal, right?” and that’s a hard question to answer. I won’t say “you’re depressed” because I’m just a layman here, but for the sake of argument, let’s say you do have depression — that’s actually normal, given how common depression is. (Nearly a quarter of women and 1 in 10 men will have major depression in their lifetimes) It’s also possible you have felt joy but your current mental state is not

a skilled and reputable therapist. I expect it’ll be a disorienting process at times, but, having been through a similar one myself, I also expect it’ll be worth it.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT permitting you to remember how that felt. That’s certainly a normal byproduct of mental illness. And, I think it’s perfectly normal for many pleasures to be “superficial,” though I would choose the rosier “simple pleasures” or “indulgences.” Nothing wrong with those. In fact, those pleasures — and the capacity to feel them — can buoy you as you take on the tougher issue of why you feel numb. It’s also normal, I think, that your husband failed to see past your surface contentment. We might want or expect a spouse to notice, sure, but if you’re working to keep up the appearance of happiness, often you’ll succeed. So let’s leave normalcy out of it as too problematic, and try these questions instead: “Am I content with the status quo?” And if no: “Are there treatments that can improve my quality of life?” That’s a yes, so do find yourself

Re: Moments: I found that when I have been depressed it tends to stain backward so I have difficulty remembering happy moments; even when I logically know I was happy on my wedding day, I sure can’t remember it that way. It went the other way too; when I come out of depression, my newfound joy tends to stain backward too. — Anonymous I like the way you say this. It’s hard to explain or believe, I think, if you haven’t lived a full cycle of it — as in, having had happy moments, remembering them as happy, getting depressed, having those memories stripped of their happy feelings when seen through depressed eyes, recovering from the depression and having the happiness restored to the memories.

The Daily Herald

Therapy can relieve retirement jitters Dear Abby: I’m writing about the letter you printed from “Excited in Maryland” (Aug. 16), whose wife makes snide comments about his impending retirement. That milestone is the biggest life change people make — a time marker like no other. With many people, our identity is tied to our careers. In my case, I enjoyed a long, successful career as a social worker, counselor, teacher and mother. I wasn’t the primary breadwinner and was able to work less than full time. When I retired seven years ago, my day was my own, with little accountability to my husband. I had quiet when I wanted it, music of my own choosing, ate when and what I wanted — and complete privacy all day, every day. My husband, one of the nicest men I’ve ever known, retired two years ago, and I still haven’t come to terms with the fact that he’s home all the time. He doesn’t ask me to do anything differently, but he’s HERE, which means my definition of privacy has changed. I just need a predictable block of time I can depend on to have the house all to myself. That letter writer’s wife may be worried about the huge change that is coming. My husband has enough interests that he’s always busy, but we are different people. He can get lost in his project while I’m “on alert” for any interruption, real or imagined. A couple of my friends have decided to postpone retirement because they don’t want to be home all day with their husbands. They are both mental health therapists, but they can’t talk with their husbands about it. If THEY RIP HAYWIRE

That is what I would have recommended, if either of the couples you mentioned in your letter had asked, to improve their level of communication. As for the rest of us “regular” folks, a licensed family therapist would be qualified to help. I agree that retirement requires an adjustment on the part of both spouses.

Against 3NT, West led a heart, and Louie put up dummy’s queen. He next led a club to his hand and returned the jack of diamonds for a finesse.

Bad idea (as it turned out). East took the queen and hastily returned a heart. Louie’s jack lost to the king, and a third heart forced out his ace. When he led another diamond, West took the ace — and two hearts for down one. South has plenty of potential winners but doesn’t want East to win an early trick and return a heart. At Trick Two, South should lead a low diamond from dummy. If East rises with the queen (!) to return a heart, more power to him. Most Easts will play low, and South sets up the diamonds safely and makes his game.

They’re still trying to pass “Toy Story That Time Forgot” off as a holiday show. 8 p.m., ABC. A couple of actual holiday shows: “Shrek The Halls,” 9:30 p.m., ABC. “I Want a Dog for Christmas Charlie Brown,” 9 p.m., ABC. From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, Dec. 15, the 349th day of 2015. There are 16 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Dec. 15, 1965, two U.S. manned spacecraft, Gemini 6A and Gemini 7, maneuvered to within 10 feet of each other while in orbit. On this date: In 1791, the Bill of Rights went into effect following ratification by Virginia. In 1814, the “Hartford Convention” began as New England Federalists opposed to the War of 1812 secretly gathered in the Connecticut capital. (America’s victory in the Battle of New Orleans and the war’s end effectively discredited the Convention.) In 1864, the two-day Battle of Nashville began during the Civil War as Union forces commanded by Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas attacked Confederate troops led by Gen. John Bell Hood; the result was a resounding Northern victory. In 1890, Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull and 11 other tribe members were killed in Grand River, South Dakota, during a confrontation with Indian police.

In 1938, groundbreaking for the Jefferson Memorial took place in Washington, D.C., with President Franklin D. Roosevelt taking part in the ceremony. In 1939, the Civil War motion picture epic “Gone with the Wind,” starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, had its world premiere in Atlanta.

‘Peak TV’ and shows that won’t die By Emily Yahr The Washington Post

Television in 2015 can be summarized in two words: “Peak TV.” FX president John Landgraf coined the term in August at the Television Critics’ Association summer press tour, noting that with nearly 400 scripted shows on the air (not counting reality and docuseries), “there is simply too much television.” Although this was already a noted phenomenon, the phrase caught on as people continued to drown in TV options — and feeling the pressure to catch up. As Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever wrote in his Top 10 list, “the number of good, worthwhile shows long ago exceeded the number of hours we have to watch them.” This point was also hilariously proven by 2015 Emmy Awards host Andy Samberg, who opened the ceremony with a musical sketch where he stayed in a bunker and binge-watched every TV show. (And then emerged with a long beard and regrets about how much he missed in life.) But besides the near-constant feeling of panic as your DVR fills up, the show bubble — which Landgraf predicts will burst anytime now — also had a few more unintended consequences this year.

Award show madness TV award shows are crazy, particularly the Golden Globes — the voters are edgier than the Emmys, so there are always a few surprises in there. However, this year’s best drama category was unlike any other: Nominees included “Empire,” “Mr. Robot,” “Game of Thrones,” “Outlander” and “Narcos.” Besides “Game of Thrones,” the nominees are basically newcomers. And how many people have really heard of “Mr. Robot” (USA); “Outlander” (Starz) or “Narcos” (Netflix)? Compared to previous years

USA NETWORK

Rami Malek is shown in a scene from “Mr. Robot,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe award for best television drama Dec. 10.

— which nominated the usual prestige shows, such as “Downton Abbey,” “Homeland,” “The Good Wife,” “House of Cards” — this category is wildly different. Not that it’s a bad thing; in fact, it’s great to shake things up with newcomers. But throw in the fact that other littleknown shows like Amazon.com’s “Mozart in the Jungle” and Hulu’s “Casual” also got best comedy nominations, and it’s clear that the sheer amount of shows is leading to an odd mix in major categories.. Really, it’s just a numbers game. There are so many solid shows out there that the voting base is going to be spread pretty thin. And in the future, that could lead to some even more random nomination lists.

Ratings troubles Fox made a big move this year when it became the first “big four” network to no longer acknowledge live plus same-day ratings. In other words, the network isn’t going to bother with ratings that only show the people who watched a program the night it airs: On-demand and

DVR viewings are simply too much of a factor these days. Translation: Live plus same-day numbers are essentially useless when judging a show’s performance. This benefits the network’s new shows like “Scream Queens” and “The Grinder,” each averaging less than 3 million people actually tuning in on Tuesday nights — but both those numbers can double with DVR and delayed viewing factored in. It’s unclear if other networks will follow suit. Although again, the explosion of more shows and streaming networks only make it more inevitable that viewers will watch broadcast series on their own time table, throwing an even bigger wrench into ratings data.

Shows that won’t die Best way to compete with other networks who are offering a gazillion new programs? Keep your network or streaming service chockfull of shows, no matter what! As a result, networks are more prone to renew a series (regardless of ratings) that has a passionate fanbase, making sure the buzz continues. We saw this happen multiple times this year, even recently as shows like HBO’s “The Leftovers” and FXX’s “You’re the Worst” — which inspire think pieces and critical acclaim but don’t get big numbers — were renewed. Or, companies snag a show that was canceled on another network and keep it going, a la “The Mindy Project” on Hulu or “Longmire” on Netflix. In fact, shows are having a tough time getting canceled — even broadcast networks are simply “trimming number of episodes” from their low-rated fall shows, instead of immediately pulling them off the schedule. These days, ratings have to be as bad as “Wicked City” (so, really bad) for executives to actually pull a show of the air. Instead, shows that normally would be canceled by now keep churning along.

never have to question him on his work ethic. He’s one of those guys who may not be the most talented player on the court, but you always know one thing. He’s going to give you everything he has.” Dawn, who graduated from Arlington in 2013, got a scholarship offer after attending a CWU camp following his senior season. A 6-4 junior forward, he was a backup in his freshman season, a part-time starter a year ago, and this season he has, like Roppo, started all six games while averaging 7.3 points and

ARLINGTON — Brian Hill quickly found a positive after his team suffered a close loss in a tough early-season matchup. The Glacier Peak head coach pointed out that his Grizzlies topped Arlington twice last season, but it was the Eagles who made it to the state tournament at the Tacoma Dome. After a 62-59 non-conference loss Monday night at Arlington High School, Hill is hoping the Grizzlies follow a similar path as the Eagles did last season. “Last year we beat them, by almost the exact same score, and they took fourth in state,” Hill said. “They beat us, so maybe we’ll take fourth in state. “Or better.” The two teams posted a combined 44-8 record a year ago with half of Arlington’s four losses coming against Glacier Peak. The Grizzlies edged Arlington 61-58 in a non-conference game early in the season — like Monday night’s — and 63-55 in a 3A District 1 semifinal contest. However, Arlington made it to the Tacoma Dome and placed fourth, while Glacier Peak’s season ended in the regional round. “I’d play them every night. That’s a fun game,” Hill said. “We started off pretty slow and they did a great job. Serafina (Balderas) was on fire. So, we had to battle back. We were down all night. I thought we showed a lot of character by battling strong. But I’d take that every night. That’s a good game.” Arlington used a 6-0 run — and 10 first-half points by Balderas — to build a 37-30 halftime lead. The Eagles added to their lead in the third quarter, before a 10-2 run by Glacier Peak to open the final period got the Grizzlies to within one, 51-50, with 4:30 remaining in the game. But Arlington held off Glacier Peak, netting nine of its 13 fourth-quarter points from the free-throw line to hang on and clinch the win. “I told the girls they’re going to make runs,” said Arlington head coach Joe Marsh. “They’re a really good team on the offensive end and they made their runs, but we survived them.” The Eagles have emphasized free throws in practice after struggling from the line last season. Senior Emma Janousek scored seven of her 11 points from the free-throw line and Gracie Castaneda, who finished with a team-high 18 points and eight rebounds, added five free throws in the fourth quarter. “That’s why you want seniors as a coach,” Marsh said. “We

Landing in the right place

Monroe’s Roppo, Arlington’s Dawn happy to be playing at Central Washington By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

s a senior at Monroe High School, Joey Roppo was hoping for the chance to play college basketball. The problem was, he was unsure who wanted him. Likewise Terry Dawn, who had no firm four-year offers by the end of his senior season at Arlington High School. After being offered a chance to walk on at Western Washington University, Dawn enrolled and had his dorm room already lined up. He even had a roommate. But recruiting in college

basketball is sometimes inexact, as Roppo and Dawn were to find out. Both ended up at Central Washington University, both eventually found a way into the team’s starting lineup, and both are playing big roles this season for a Wildcats team with high hopes. And both could not be happier. “It’s been an amazing experience for me here,” Roppo said, speaking by phone from Ellensburg. Added Dawn: “I love it. I’m happy I (came to Central Washington).” The 6-foot-3 Roppo, the older of the two, graduated from

Monroe in 2011. Invited to walk on at CWU (he later received a scholarship), he redshirted as a freshman, was a reserve the next season, and is now in his third season as a starter. A senior shooting guard, he has also played point guard and small forward for the Wildcats, and in six games this season he leads the team in minutes per game (31.3) and 3-point shooting (.500, 20-for-40) while averaging a third-best 14.2 points. “Right out of the gate, Joey’s a great kid,” said CWU head coach Greg Sparling. “He’s going to give you 110 percent every time he laces up his shoes, so you

Seahawks re-sign running back Brown to replace Rawls No timetable on potential return of Lynch, who is rehabbing off-site By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

Bryce Brown, in his fourth season in the NFL, rushed for 1,004 yards on 226 carries the past three seasons at Philadelphia and Buffalo.

RENTON — Thomas Rawls is done, Bryce Brown is back, and Marshawn Lynch is off-site. The Seattle Seahawks may be flying high, but their situation at running back is a mystery. The team that leads the NFL in rushing yards is searching for a primary ball carrier following the loss of Rawls to a season-ending ankle injury. Rawls, the team’s leading rusher, suffered a broken ankle and ligament damage during Sunday’s 35-6 thrashing of the Baltimore Ravens, Seattle’s fourth

straight victory. The loss of Rawls didn’t slow Seattle’s offense, but it does leave the Seahawks wondering who will carry the load going forward. However, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Monday it wouldn’t affect the team’s runfirst approach. “Our commitment is going to stay the same because we have a balance that we really play with,” Carroll said at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “We have a philosophy and an approach that doesn’t need to be changed right now. If we were having issues and troubles, then maybe something would happen. The whole idea

of being a balanced attack is that when you need it you can go to it. If we need to throw the football more we will. If we need to run the football more we will. We’ll see how it goes, but right now we’re going to stay on course.” Rawls was a revelation upon filling in for the injured Lynch. The undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan University had 830 yards and was leading the league with 5.6 yards per rush when he went down in the first quarter Sunday. Rawls has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season, with the ligament See SEAHAWKS, Page C5

CALENDAR

Monday, pending a physical. A 29-year-old right-hander, Cueto was 11-13 with a 3.44 ERA in 32 starts for Cincinnati and Kansas City in 2015.

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Signing right-hander Steve Cishek, which the Seattle Mariners confirmed Monday, fills their identified need for a proven closer. And make no mistake: General manager Jerry Dipoto wanted a proven closer as a cornerstone in what has been a near-complete overhaul of a bullpen that faltered repeatedly last season in compiling a 4.15 ERA. “It’s valuable,” Dipoto said. “Having been at this long enough (as a GM), and having been asked to (close games) on a part-time basis in my long-ago past, the experience of doing it matters.” The Mariners believe Cishek, 29, is poised to regain the form that enabled him to secure 88 saves in 95 opportunities from 2012-14 at Miami before hitting a rough patch last season that cost him his job and led to a trade. “Actually, quite confident,” Dipoto said. “We’re one year removed from Steve Cishek being one of top closers in baseball. That wasn’t an accident. He did that in 2014, and he did that in 2013.” While Cishek sought an opportunity to close again in order to clean away the sour taste of last season’s disappointment, he figured he might have to settle initially for a setup role. “Going into free agency for my first time,” Cishek said, “I was just looking to pitch in the back end of the bullpen. I know when you have a year when you struggled, teams may be hesitant (to make you their closer). “When Jerry offered the closing job, I just wanted to jump all over it. That’s exactly what I was hoping to do again.” News of the Mariners’ two-year deal with Cishek, a 6-foot-6 side-armer, broke Saturday; it totals $10 million in guaranteed salary with performance bonuses capable of adding another $3.5 million per year. “Last year,” he said, “losing that closing job (in Miami) was a huge disappointment to me. I was disappointed in myself, not the organization. I knew I didn’t pitch up to my expectations. “Just to have this opportunity again to be able to close games out ... is just mind-blowing to me. I’m beyond excited to get this thing started.” The Mariners cleared space for Cishek on their 40-man roster by designating lefty reliever Rob Rasmussen for assignment. The next likely step is to send him through waivers. Rasmussen, 26, struggled after joining the Mariners in the July 31 trade that sent reliever Mark Lowe to Toronto. Rasmussen was 2-1 with a 9.98 ERA in 20 games; he allowed 18 runs and 26 hits in 151⁄3 innings. While Cishek is an experienced closer, the Mariners can hedge their bet, if need be, by turning to veteran Joaquin Benoit, whom they acquired from San Diego in a Nov. 12 trade for two minor-league players. Benoit is currently ticketed to be the eighthinning setup man, but he had 24 saves in 26 chances for Detroit in 2013. He was also 10-for-11 in save opportunities for the Padres over the final two-plus months in 2014. “We know Benoit can handle the ninth inning,” Dipoto said. “He’s also dynamic in the eighth inning. To have that flexibility is a good thing. If it happens that we find a ninth-inning option that

suits us, we’ll go that route.” Cishek is that option. Dipoto wanted a proven closer because, while a strong advocate for the value of analytics, he holds to the traditional view that the ninth inning is different. “Oh, no doubt,” he said. “I have lived it. There is a different feel in the ballpark. When you’re on the mound, you need to really be able to focus and shut it out. “It’s not for everybody. Some guys do a better job of shutting it out and keeping their cool. For a lot of guys, the strike zone generally feels smaller in the ninth inning. Real or perceived, it feels smaller.” Cishek excelled as a closer for two-plus years before losing his job last season at Miami when he blew four of his first seven save opportunities while compiling a 6.98 ERA through his first 19 games. “I came into spring training,” he recalled, “and my arm slot was quite a bit lower than where it had been in the past. As a result, I was losing velocity, and my slider didn’t have as much bite.” Cishek’s struggles also resulted in a brief June demotion to Double-A Jacksonville. When he returned, he allowed just one earned run in 122⁄3 innings over 13 games in a set-up role. After a July 24 trade sent him to St. Louis, Cishek compiled a 2.31 ERA in 27 appearances. He had 1.75 ERA overall in 40 games after returning from the minors, which lowered his season mark to 3.58. “While it’s reasonable to say that 2015 was not up to Steve’s standards,” Dipoto said, “we’re not talking about a guy who struggled all year long. He found a nice way of fixing himself.” Cishek became a free agent Dec. 2 when the Cardinals chose not to tender him a contract prior to the deadline. That wasn’t unexpected. He made $6.65 million last season and was likely headed for a modest increase through arbitration. The Mariners began targeting Cishek once he became a free agent. Cishek will make $4 million next season and $6 million in 2017. He gets an additional $250,000 each year if he finishes 25 games and another $250,000 if he finishes 30 games. The bonuses increase to $500,000 once he reaches each of the following milestones: 35 games finished, 40 games finished, 45 games finished, 50 games finished, 55 games finished and 60 games finished. As a point of reference, Fernando Rodney finished 64 games in 2014 when he set the franchise record with 48 saves. While at Miami, Cishek finished 62 games in 2013 and 55 games in 2014. Dipoto said the Mariners might continue to add pieces to their bullpen, “but I think with Steve’s addition, that probably does it for the heavy lifting.” In addition to Cishek and Benoit, the Mariners added right-handers Justin De Fratus, Evan Scribner and Anthony Bass since the season ended. Departures include Carson Smith, Tom Wilhelmsen and Danny Farquhar. The top holdover candidates for next year’s bullpen are Charlie Furbush, Tony Zych and Vidal Nuno. Furbush and Nuno are the only lefties among the top-tier candidates, which is key because Dipoto has a “strong preference” for a seven-man bullpen that ideally has five right-handers and two lefties.

Manfred rejects Rose’s reinstatement plea Associated Press CINCINNATI — Pete Rose’s application for reinstatement to baseball was rejected Monday by Commissioner Rob Manfred, who concluded the career hits leader continued to gamble even while trying to end his lifetime ban and would be a risk to the sport’s integrity if allowed back in the game. Rose agreed to the ban in August 1989 after an investigation for Major League Baseball by lawyer John Dowd found Rose placed numerous bets on the Cincinnati Reds to win from 1985-87 while playing for

and managing the team. In one of his first major actions, Manfred said in a four-page decision the career hits leader admitted he has kept on betting legally on horse racing and professional sports, including baseball. Manfred upheld the conclusions of the Dowd report and said MLB obtained additional evidence not available to Dowd: a notebook of betting records from 1986 kept by Rose associate Michael Bertolini. “In short, Mr. Rose has not presented credible evidence of a reconfigured life either by an honest acceptance

by him of his wrongdoing, so clearly established in the Dowd Report, or by a rigorous, self-aware and sustained program of avoidance by him of all the circumstances that led to his permanent in eligibility in 1989,” Manfred wrote. Manfred also said Rose has never “seriously sought treatment” for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Behavior, conditions he said in his 2004 book had afflicted him. “Mr. Rose’s public and private comments, including his initial admission in 2004, provide me with little confidence that he has a mature understanding of his wrongful conduct, that he has accepted full responsibility for it, or that he understands the damage he has caused,” Manfred wrote. “I am also not convinced that he has avoided the type of conduct and associations that originally led to his placement on the permanently ineligible list.” Rose’s lawyers said he will comment on the decision at a news conference Tuesday. Manfred said when he met with the 74-year-old Rose, the 17-time All-Star at first was not forthcoming about his current gambling. “Rose initially denied betting on baseball currently and only later in the interview did he ‘clarify’ his response to admit such betting,” Manfred wrote. Rose’s conduct violated Major League Rule 21, which calls for a lifetime ban for betting on any game “with which the bettor has a duty to perform.”

John Casebeer officiates a match during a wrestling jamboree on Dec. 5 at Jackson High School in Mill Creek.

Coach, official, mentor

Hall of Famer John Casebeer has been impacting the lives of young wrestlers for more than half a century — and he’s still going strong By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

A coach becomes more than just a person with a whistle when, after an athlete has finished his time playing under that coach, he or she decides to follow the same path, to help others as they have been helped. John Casebeer was inducted into the Washington State Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame on Oct. 24 following a 30-year coaching career in the Edmonds School District, including stops Alderwood Junior High School in Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace High School, Brier Terrace Middle School in Lynnwood, and finally Alderwood Middle School. While serving in those positions, Casebeer made wrestling fun and exciting for kids often seeing the sport for the first time, gave them a solid foundation in the fundamentals, and on numerous occasions, set kids on a path to be involved in the sport for most of their adult lives. Outside of the wrestling room, Casebeer served as a surrogate father to many of the kids he coached, in one instance inviting future colleague Greg Ortega to live with he and his wife, Marilyn, during Ortega’s senior year of high school. In another, Casebeer identified a seventh-grader who hung around the wrestling room at a time when only eighth- and ninth-graders were allowed to wrestle in junior high school. Casebeer encouraged the young man, allowing him to serve as a team manager until he could compete. “He was just a rare breed of kid who just had that grit and toughness where quitting wasn’t even in his vocabulary, and he would push himself to become the best he could be,” Casebeer said of a young Randy Couture, who would grow up to win a state championship at Lynnwood High School, an NCAA championship at Oklahoma State, six world championships as a mixed martial artist, and induction into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Hall of Fame. Casebeer often took kids whose

I’m forever grateful to him. His lessons were my first look through the eyes of a wrestler. When I applied those lessons and looked through those eyes, I could solve every problem that’s ever been before me. — Randy Couture Mixed martial arts champion and motion picture star who wrestled for John Casebeer at Alderwood Junior High School in the 1970s.

fathers were absent or disinterested in the outdoors on hunting, fishing and camping trips, to introduce them to one of his passions outside of wrestling. “I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing right now if I didn’t wrestle for Coach Casebeer,” said Blaine Gilchrist-Smith, a 30-year coaching veteran who currently heads the wrestling program at Archbishop Murphy High School and nominated his former mentor for induction into the WSWCA Hall of Fame after wrestling for Casebeer at Alderwood. “I probably couldn’t count all of the lives he’s impacted, and now I’ve impacted lives as well. It’s a ripple effect. It’s pretty amazing.” Casebeer was inducted to the WSWCA Hall of Fame as a middle school coach, but spent five seasons at Mountlake Terrace High School from 1980-1985, where he produced one state champion (Ron Oberg in 1984) and 25 state tournament participants. The 70-year-old Casebeer has another life in wrestling as a member of the Snohomish County Wrestling Officials Association, where he has worked for 27 years. For the first 12 years of his tenure as an official, Casebeer coached and officiated concurrently, a practice

that was more common in those days. Casebeer is a no-nonsense arbiter who takes his job very seriously. He doesn’t hesitate for a moment to call one or both wrestlers on the mat for stalling, which he sees as a scourge of the sport. “Whenever we see him, it’s laughs and giggles before the match, but then we both get serious,” Stanwood wrestling coach Ray Mather said of Casebeer. “He tries to take his vision of what good wrestling should look like and apply it as an official. He remembers how wrestling used to be, but I’m pretty impressed with how he’s acclimated to how much the sport has changed.” Casebeer still officiates a regular schedule, working matches on Tuesdays or Thursdays and a grueling tournament schedule on Saturdays, and plans to do so for the foreseeable future. “I’ve been blessed with very good health,” Casebeer said. “I don’t have a date (to retire), I’ll just do it until my body doesn’t allow me to do it anymore.” At every match he officiates, fans are treated to the great theater of what Mather calls “The Casebeer inch”, where Casebeer, while lying on his side as a wrestler is in a pinning predicament, holds up a hand

and narrows the distance between his thumb and index finger to tell the crowd just how close the wrestler is to being pinned. Casebeer grew up in Mullan, Idaho, as the son of a miner. John and Bertha Casebeer raised three children in Mullan — young John and two girls — but moved to Lynnwood when the mine shut down. The elder Casebeer went to work as a Snohomish County road foreman, building roads in the area while his son grew into a prep wrestling star. Casebeer won a state championship as an Edmonds High School senior in 1963, and went on to greater success at Central Washington University after a year at what was then called Everett Junior College. He placed third at the NAIA national tournament in 1968, earning All-America honors under legendary coach Eric Beardsley, himself a member of the WSWCA Hall of Fame. Casebeer took his first teaching job at Alderwood Junior High immediately after graduating from CWU, and set about perfecting his recruiting pitch to youngsters who had never been exposed to Olympic wrestling, in the days before there were youth wrestling clubs in most communities. Casebeer said his biggest recruiting tool were the cool uniforms his wrestlers wore, a discovery for which the University of Oregon might owe him money. “I made sure those kids were dressed right,” Casebeer said. “I let the wrestlers wear their gear in P.E., and I was fortunate to have administrators who gave me anything I wanted in terms of finances.” Armed with the right gear and an enthusiastic, outgoing personality, it was difficult for young, would-be wrestlers to stay away from Casebeer’s program. “He just had a way of working with guys like me that was so easy, and his relationship with us was so natural that it was almost like we couldn’t resist. He was very hard to say no to,” Gilchrist-Smith said. “And he just did that year after year.” See CASEBEER, Page C4

“We went to Alaska and laid an egg up there,” Dawn said, “but we’ll be able to refocus. ... We always have the goal of winning the GNAC championship, and that’s totally do-able (this season).” Sparling, a former CWU player in his 20th season as head coach, said this team has an unusually high level of camaraderie and chemistry. As a coach, he explained, “half your battle is getting your team to like each other on the floor and off the floor. But with this team, there are no selfish kids out there. They all play for each other and they’re always working to get their teammates better shots. “On our first road trip to Alaska, we ran into a couple of tough teams on their floors,” he said. “But we’re getting better ... and hopefully this is the year we can put it all together.” “I’m super excited for this team this year,” Roppo said. “As far as people playing together, I feel this is the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here. We just have to fix up some defensive things. ... But we’re playing hard and we’re playing together. “If we continue to do (those things), I think we’ll be real good,” he said. “Obviously the goal is a GNAC championship and then to be able to make a run in the national tournament.”

5.7 rebounds. “Terry is another shooter for us,” Sparling said. “He’s not shooting as well as he’d like right now, but he’ll get it going. ... He’s another guy who doesn’t say a lot, but every day he’s going to lace ’em up and give it everything he has.” The Wildcats play in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, an 11-team league with schools in Washington (Central Washington, Western Washington, Seattle Pacific, Seattle University and St. Martin’s), Oregon (Concordia, Western Oregon), Idaho (Northwest Nazarene), Montana (Montana State-Billings), Alaska (AlaskaAnchorage, Alaska-Fairbanks) and British Columbia (Simon Fraser). It is, Roppo said, “a really tough conference. You have to be able to play (well) to play in this conference because even though it’s (NCAA) Division II, there are a lot of great players.” The Wildcats started this season well, winning their first four games, but then opened their league schedule in Alaska with losses at Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Attempting to find statistical records for middle school wrestling is a precarious business, but suffice it to say Casebeer’s teams did a lot of winning. “His teams terrorized the entire district,” said Shawn O’Donnnell, a longtime officiating colleague of Casebeer who wrestled against his teams while a student at Brier Junior High School. “They were a different level of tough.” Kevin Judkins, another fellow WSWCA Hall of Famer who was the head coach at Lynnwood High School from 1987-2002, had the benefit of receiving wrestlers from Casebeer’s program that were ready to contribute. “When I would get kids from John’s program, I knew I wouldn’t be starting from scratch,” Judkins said. “They came in with a work ethic. They understood hard work and appreciate it. But one of his biggest attributes was the ability to get kids to turn out. It was a lot easier to keep them interested in high school because of that.” Casebeer had that five-year stint as Mountlake Terrace’s varsity coach, but it ended prematurely when, according to Casebeer, a football coach was hired in 1985 and took a teaching position at the high school that was promised to him. Casebeer, who was coaching at Mountlake Terrace and Brier/Terrace Middle School at the same time from 1983-1985 while teaching at Brier, stayed on at the middle school for another six years. “Had he remained at Mountlake Terrace, they would have had a reign of success like we can’t imagine,” fellow WSWCA Hall of Famer and current Arlington wrestling coach Rick Iversen said. “We lost what I thought was the premier coach in the northwest part of the state at that time. He was technical, a gentleman and a great leader.” But for all of his acumen as a molder of wrestling talent, some say the greatest impact Casebeer has had on folks in the Snohomish County wrestling community was as the positive male role model he provided for kids who didn’t have one at home. Ortega, who is the longest-serving wrestling official in the Snohomish association

for a battle and an indicator of where they were early in the season. Both teams were successful in that regard. “If I can get a game like that this early in the season — it’s just a great test with two great teams. It was exactly how I expected it to be,” Marsh said. “We got a lead, they came back. We stretched it out, they came back and it just goes right down to the wire. It was just great basketball.” Last season’s losses to Glacier Peak was on the Eagles’ minds as they got ready to face the Grizzlies again. “Absolutely. I don’t know if ‘revenge’ is the right word. We played well against them last year but they got us,” Marsh said. “We got them in our gym this time and we just had a little incentive to play well tonight. And we did. We got a great start to the game.”

struggled from the free-throw line all year last year and it’s been one of our focuses in practice. So far this year, we’ve been pretty good. Obviously, in a game like this, they’re super important.” Balderas added 11 points for Arlington (6-0 overall) after struggling in the Eagles’ 53-45 win over Shorecrest last Friday. “Fina had an awful shooting night against Shorecrest the other night. She was 0-for-the-night and she came out — I love the kid — just fearless,” Marsh said. “I told her I was glad she left all her misses on the floor the other night.” Marsh said both teams came in looking

— he began his 42nd season in December — described his family situation as “not cohesive” when he was a senior at Lynnwood High School in 1973-74 after wrestling on one of Casebeer’s first teams at Alderwood. “Even after I went to high school and stopped wrestling for him, we were always good friends,” Ortega said of Casebeer. “He offered to take me in, even though he was a struggling young teacher at the time with a couple of children of his own.” Ortega went on to hold jobs as a commercial airline pilot, owner of Sporty’s Beef & Brew in Everett and his current position doing fleet management for Michels Corporation, a large pipeline construction company, but still relishes his time officiating the state wrestling tournament in February with Casebeer either on a nearby mat or at the scorer’s table with a clipboard, evaluating his former temporary houseguest. “He’s the reason I became an official. He got me into it in 1974, the year I graduated,” Ortega said. One measure of a coach’s success and overall impact on the athletes he or she mentors is what those athletes go on to accomplish after they’ve left the coach’s nest. Couture, in addition to all his athletic achievements, has parlayed his fame into 15 motion-picture roles, but credits Casebeer for opening his eyes to the world of wrestling, which he said is the entry point to all his success. “I think through him I developed the love for the sport that I have and have carried around through my entire life, and it’s led me everywhere I’ve been,” Couture said. “I’m forever grateful to him. His lessons were my first look through the eyes of a wrestler. When I applied those lessons and looked through those eyes, I could solve every problem that’s ever been before me.” Couture added that he was raised in a single-parent household and that his father was never around, but Casebeer filled that void for him, as he has for so many lessfamous athletes he coached. “It’s just the kids,” Casebeer said. “The kids are what makes it. There’s not a lot of instant gratification — you might win a championship or something. But for people to come back after 30 years and thank you for being a part of their life — that’s huge.”

SEAHAWKS’ NEXT OPPONENT | Cleveland Browns

Browns defend Manziel from critics By Nate Ulrich Akron Beacon Journal

In the aftermath of Johnny Manziel helping the Browns snap a seven-game losing streak Sunday with a 24-10 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers, some of the polarizing quarterback’s critics have been quick to point out he still can’t be trusted. Still, the Browns insisted Monday they have his back. On NBC’s Football Night in America, former Pro Bowl safety Rodney Harrison explained why he doesn’t consider Manziel a legitimate franchise quarterback. “I still think you have to find a starting quarterback,” Harrison said. “He’s good. He’s a really good athlete, so I’d keep him on the roster. But if I’m a guy in that locker room, I don’t want to play with Johnny Manziel because I simply can’t trust him.” Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy added, “And that’s your biggest problem as a head coach when you draft Manziel. You’re three years down the road, and you don’t know what you have. You don’t know if you have a guy you can depend on. That’s why I would not have drafted him.” But the Browns (3-10) did draft Manziel — they even traded up four spots to select him 22nd overall last year — so they’re going to defend him despite his flaws. Head coach Mike Pettine benched Manziel for the previous two games after the former Heisman Trophy winner partied during a bye-week break, then lied to the Browns about it. So Pettine knows Manziel is far from perfect — his off-field issues and trip to an inpatient rehabilitation facility this past offseason have been thoroughly chronicled — but the coach doesn’t agree with Harrison’s assessment. “The bottom line is Harrison’s not in our locker room,” Pettine said during a conference call. “He doesn’t see Manziel every day, and I think he’d have a lot more respect for him if he did. “Talk to a guy that’s in the locker room like tight end Gary Barnidge, who sees how he prepares, who sees how he is on the practice field, sees the noticeable difference from a year ago, the improvement there, the commitment, the dedication, the wanting to get it right, making sure that the details are right. So it’s hard for me to really lend any credence to any opinions that are outside of our locker room.” Barnidge said Manziel is starting to understand what it means to be a professional. “I think it has shown in the way he is playing on the field, in practice and in the game and everything else,” Barnidge

said during a conference call. “I think he is just going to keep learning. He is a young guy. He is going to keep learning and keep maturing as he gets older. I think that is a credit to him, too. We are going to be behind him no matter what, too.” Why are veteran players like Barnidge determined to stick with Manziel despite his persistent problems away from the field? “You have to stick behind everyone on the team. You can’t just alienate certain people and say, ‘Oh, we are not dealing with you because of this, this and this,’” Barnidge replied. “Altogether, we are a team. We are going to need everyone on the team to succeed. When it comes to all the other stuff, that is what the coaches help with. We talk to him and we do all that type of stuff as well, but he has to hear it from the coaches and from us. He is going to learn.” Pettine thinks it’s easy to see why Manziel’s teammates haven’t written him off. “Most of the time they spend with him, the vast majority is in the building. They see what we all see,” Pettine said. “Here’s a guy that shows up to work every day excited. He puts in his preparation, so he grinds in the meeting room. He asks great questions. He brings up good points. Guys respect that. They can tell when he talks that he’s getting into that information when he’s out of the building and it carries over onto the practice field. “They see a guy that’s competitive, that wants to win, goes out and works hard on the practice field and it carried over into the game. They see him in game, in

Browns cornerback Haden’s season ended by concussions Associated Press CLEVELAND — The most frustrating season of Joe Haden’s career is over. Six weeks after sustaining his second concussion, the star cornerback was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday by the Browns, whose defense was thrown into turmoil after losing its best player. Haden, who appeared in only five games, has been sidelined since sustaining his second concussion on Nov. 1 against Arizona when he was accidentally kicked in the head as he tried to make a tackle. The 26-year-old received his first concussion on Oct. 11 when he was knocked down while trying to make an interception against Baltimore. Haden struggled to be cleared in the NFL’s concussion protocol and the Browns reluctantly placed him on IR. “This has been an extremely difficult season for me personally,” Haden said in the team’s

release. “It’s upsetting that my year has ended this way. I really want to be out there with my teammates trying to help finish this season strong and on a positive note. We’ve all learned how important it is to be very thorough with concussions and I appreciate the care the Browns have provided for me.” Haden added that specialists expect a full recovery. “I’m looking forward that, returning to form, having a good offseason and an even better 2016 season,” he said. Haden has been named to the Pro Bowl the past two years. While he wasn’t playing up to his usual high standards early on this season, he’s still regarded as one of the NFL’s top cover cornerbacks and his loss had a ripple effect through Cleveland’s defense. Haden signed a five-year, $68 million contract before last season. The Browns selected him with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2010 draft.

the huddle, his presence and what he’s been able to do. That gets our guys going. When they see him frustrated after throwing a boneheaded interception and get after himself a little bit, there’s some respect there because they see how competitive he is.” Of course, Pettine was alluding to Manziel, 23, throwing his helmet down on the sideline, then smacking himself five times in the head with a Microsoft Surface tablet on the bench after he threw an interception late in the first half against the 49ers (4-9). “That is part of the game,” Barnidge said. “Guys get upset. Nobody says anything when New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady slams his helmet down on the ground or anything like that, but because Johnny is always in the media with that kind of stuff, it becomes something that gets brought up. He is just passionate about it. That is something you want. You want someone who is passionate about the game.” The good news for Manziel is he didn’t let the turnover or his frustration about it affect him negatively in the second half. He completed 8-of-11 passes for 108 yards with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Barnidge late in the third quarter. He finished 21-of-31 passing for 270 yards and a rating of 92.1 in his first start since his demotion. “I thought it was a solid performance,” Pettine said. “The interception before the half is well-documented — that’s glaring. Overall, I just think he made good decisions. He was accurate with the football. When he

could stay in the pocket, he did and made plays. There were times, we all saw, where he has that special ability to extend the play and was able to do that numerous times with solid success.” Barnidge said Manziel’s knack for extending plays from four seconds to six or seven makes him special. “That is tough for a defense to cover anyone that long,” Barnidge said. It can also energize other players on the offense. “There might be that excitement underneath, knowing, ‘Hey, I’m going to run my regular route. If I don’t get it, I have keep this play alive because this play could end up being extended. I could catch the ball dead on the other side of the field,’” Pettine said. “So there’s probably some of that to it.” But Pettine was most impressed with the way Manziel used his mind to gain an upper hand against a defense coordinated by former Browns coach Eric Mangini. “He had great command of the plays being called and then assessing the defense, diagnosing what they were in whether it was pre-snap or post-snap,” Pettine said. Manziel improved to 2-4 as an NFL starter, including 2-2 this season with the other win coming against the Tennessee Titans (3-10), but his audition will soon become more challenging. The Browns’ last three opponents — the Seattle Seahawks (Sunday on the road), Kansas City Chiefs (Dec. 27 on the road) and Pittsburgh Steelers (Jan. 3 at home) — are all 8-5 and in the playoff hunt.

Giants beat Dolphins, forge 3-way tie atop the NFC East Associated Press MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — With the score tied in the fourth quarter, Odell Beckham Jr. somehow slipped 5 yards behind the secondary. That turned out to be the winning margin for the New York Giants. Beckham’s 84-yard touchdown reception put the Giants ahead to stay with 11 minutes to go, and they forged a three-way tie atop the NFC East by beating the Miami Dolphins 31-24 on Monday night. New York’s Eli Manning went 27-for-31 for 337 yards and four scores. His passer rating of 151.5 was his highest since 2009. The Giants (6-7) broke a three-game losing streak and are tied with the Redskins and Eagles for the lead in their woeful division. “It’s a must-win, a playoff game for us,” Beckham said.

“They’re all playoff games.” The Dolphins (5-8) were mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, extending their postseason drought to a franchise-record seven consecutive years. “Obviously this is not where we want to be,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said, “but here we are.” In celebration of the franchise’s 50th season, the Dolphins introduced their 50 greatest players at halftime. The not-so-great 2015 Dolphins topped 20 points for the first time since October, but couldn’t keep up with Beckham. He had seven catches for 166 yards and the game’s final two scores. The 100-yard game was his sixth in a row, a Giants record. “They got it to a star player, and he made plays for them,” Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said.

damage being the more troublesome aspect of the injury — though Carroll reiterated Monday that Rawls is not expected to need surgery. Meanwhile, Carroll also said there’s no timetable on a potential return for Lynch. Lynch, who’s been Seattle’s workhorse back since 2010, missed the past four games because of an abdominal injury that required surgery. When the surgery took place three weeks ago Carroll said he hoped Lynch would be back in three or four weeks. However, Carroll said Monday he didn’t know when Lynch, who isn’t currently with the team, would be ready. “He’s going to be rehabbing off site until he’s ready to get back and start practicing,” Carroll said. “I don’t have a timeline on that. “He went through a big surgery, he has a lot to get through,” added Carroll, who declined to say where Lynch was doing his rehab. “He’s got to get past that, whatever impact that’s had, and then he has to get back in shape and get going. We’re three weeks from the surgery today, I think, and he hasn’t been able to go very hard yet, so he’s going to have to work though that and get himself going again, and then come back and show that he’s back and ready to go.” Carroll said he did not know whether Lynch would be able to make it back before the end of the regular season. Therefore, it will fall to a pair of free-agent signings — Brown and DuJuan Harris — to serve as Seattle’s primary ball carriers, at least in the short term. Carroll confirmed Monday the team has re-signed Brown for the third time this season. Brown was first signed on Oct. 27, waived Nov. 21, re-signed on Nov. 24, then waived again on Nov. 28. He was not active for any games. Brown, in his fourth season in the NFL, had 1,004 yards on 226 carries the past three seasons at Philadelphia and Buffalo. “It’s a good opportunity for us to bring a guy back that we’ve been training,” Carroll said. “We liked the work that he did, roster issues made him come and go a little bit here. But we’re happy to get him back.” Harris, signed to Seattle’s practice squad on Nov. 24 before being elevated to the 53-man roster on Dec. 5, was the primary runner Sunday following Rawls’ injury. The fifth-year player, who had 263 yards on 59 carries the previous three seasons between Jacksonville and Green Bay, had limited effectiveness against the Ravens. He managed just 42 yards on 18 carries and also lost a fumble at the 5-yard line as Seattle was on the verge of punching the ball into the end zone. “He did fine,” Carroll said. “It was good, he got 18 carries, he hasn’t carried the ball that much in a long time, and the couple carries he had the week before just kind of got him started. We haven’t had great work with him with pads on and at full speed, so he’s had to kind of gain it in the games itself. He hit stuff pretty well and got stumbled up a couple times when he had chances to make more yards. But he plays with a lot of energy, a lot of movement, has really good lateral movement. We’ll see how he can pop out of this thing.” Carroll said there will be competition between Brown and Harris to feature on first and second down, with the possibility of fullback Derrick Coleman also being in the mix. Carroll said veteran Fred Jackson, who’s served as Seattle’s third-down back throughout the season, will remain in that role.

Extra points Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor, who was in for 11 plays Sunday before being sidelined with a bruised tailbone, was still sore Monday. Carroll said it was unlikely Chancellor would practice Wednesday. ... Tight end Luke Willson suffered bruised ribs Sunday. He underwent an MRI on Monday and the team was still awaiting the results. ... Carroll said the team would have to wait and see whether cornerbacks DeShawn Shead and Marcus Burley, who both suffered ankle injuries Sunday, would be ready for next weekend. ... Carroll said linebacker Brock Coyle, who has been on injured reserve with the designation to return since October because of a knee injury, will be activated this week.

Parity prevalent in Western Conference By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

Prior to last Wednesday’s game, Everett Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine noted how closely bunched together the U.S. Division teams were in the standings. That hasn’t changed with the top three teams — Seattle, Everett and Spokane — within three points of one another. The Thunderbirds (18-10-2-0, 38 points) still lead the way, with the Tips (17-10-0-2, 36 points) and Chiefs (16-122-1, 35 points) right behind. Thus far, parity appears far more prevalent in the Western Conference than the Eastern Conference. Just two teams have records under .500 in the West while the East has five teams under. It’s worth noting, however, that the East has 12 teams while the West has 10.

Portland’s Bittner out indefinitely The Winterhawks were anticipating star forward Paul Bittner would be gone for some time after he was invited to the U.S. World Junior Team selection camp this week in Boston. Now it sounds as though Bittner will be out for much longer after the Winterhawks announced Monday that he underwent hip surgery. Bittner won’t play for Team USA and will be out indefinitely. The second-round pick of Columbus has 10 goals and 11 assists in 25 games for Portland this season, but he hasn’t played since Dec. 2 in Prince George.

Teddy Bear Toss ‘Tis the season for the Teddy Bear Toss at arenas league-wide, and so far in the U.S. Division the visiting teams have spoiled the event. Everett dampened Tri-City’s Teddy Bear Toss with a 3-2 victory Friday, while the Americans returned the favor by topping the Chiefs 4-3 Saturday at Spokane Arena. Prince George ruined Portland’s toss Saturday 3-2. The Tips hope to reverse the trend Saturday when their toss returns after a lengthy absence. Seattle doesn’t hold its toss until

January.

Bukarts, Ingram honored by league Portland Winterhawks forward Rihards Bukarts was named the WHL Player of the Week while Kamloops goaltender Connor Ingram was nominated for the CHL Goaltender of the Week. Bukarts, a Latvia native, scored six goals and added an assist as the Winterhawks went 2-10-0 last week. He had a hat trick and an assist in Portland’s 7-5 come-from-behind win over the Silvertips Wednesday at Xfinity Arena. Ingram, an 18-year-old from Imperial, Saskatchewan, was 2-0-0-0, with a 2.00 goals against average and a .938 save percentage for the week.

Team Canada splits The Team Canada juniors split a pair of weekend exhibition games with the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) All-Star team as preparation continues for the World Junior Championship. The CIS team won a 5-4 shootout Saturday, while Team Canada turned in a 5-0 victory Sunday. Everett defenseman Noah Juulsen is still on the roster after initial cuts were announced following Sunday’s game. Former Calgary Hitmen star and current Vancouver Canucks forward Jake Virtanen was added to the squad Monday and the roster now contains 27 players. Two more defensemen and two more forwards will be cut before the tournament begins Dec. 26 in Helsinki, Finland. Pittsburgh dumps Johnston The Pittsburgh Penguins dismissed head coach Mike Johnston Saturday morning. Johnston was in his second campaign and had a record of 15-10-3-0 this season. Johnston was the general manager and head coach for Portland during the Winterhawks’ run of four straight WHL Western Conference titles before leaving for Pittsburgh prior to the 2014-15 NHL season. There was immediate speculation that the Vancouver Giants would make a play for Johnston’s services, though nothing has come of the rumors so far. The Giants are currently looking for a new GM to replace Scott Bonner. Follow Silvertips writer Jesse Geleynse on Twitter @jessegeleynse.

Zags fall out of poll, beat Saint Mary’s 86-50 Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Domantas Sabonis had 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Kyle Wiltjer added 18 points and 11 boards to help Gonzaga beat Division II Saint Martin's 86-50 on Monday night after dropping out of The Associated Press Top 25 poll earlier for the first time since the 2013-14 season. Gonzaga had lost two of its last three home games — to then-No. 19 Arizona and now-No. 22 UCLA — but the Bulldogs haven't lost back-to-back home

games since 1995. Freshman Bryan Alberts made his first start for Gonzaga (7-3), replacing struggling Silas Melson, and finished with 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. Alberts entered the game having played just 78 minutes in nine games. Gonzaga's starting center, Przemek Karnowski, missed his fifth straight game with a back injury. Cole Preston scored 12 points for Saint Martin's, which was held to 18-of-54 shooting (33 percent), including 4 of 25 from 3-point range.

Serena Williams is SI’s Sportsperson of the Year Associated Press NEW YORK — Serena Williams is Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year — the first female athlete honored on her own by the magazine in more than 30 years. Williams came within two matches of the first calendar-year Grand Slam in tennis since 1988, a bid that ended with a semifinal loss at the U.S. Open. In all, the 34-year-old American went 53-3 during 2015 with five titles, including at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon. Williams was No. 1 in the WTA rankings all season. “She was the most deserving person for the award. She had an amazing year. The way she won her events; the fact that she’s done this for so many years at such a high level,” said Paul Fichtenbaum,

editor of the Sports Illustrated Group. “She was a terrific candidate in a year of terrific candidates.” Monday’s announcement marks a switch to the formal name of the SI award; past recipients were touted as Sportsman or Sportswoman of the Year. “We just felt this was a natural evolution. ... We’re not making a huge deal out of it,” Fichtenbaum said. “It just feels like the right time to make the change.” Runner Mary Decker in 1983 was the last female athlete to earn the magazine’s award by herself. The U.S. women’s national soccer team was picked by SI in 1999; speedskater Bonnie Blair in 1994 and gymnast Mary Lou Retton in 1984 were co-honorees with male Olympians.

Bjornethun named second-team All-American Herald news services The honors continue to pile up for Seattle University soccer player Kyle Bjornethun. Last week, the junior defender from Snohomish was named a second-team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Bjornethun previously was named the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year for leading an SU defense that posted 10 shutouts. He also earned firstteam All-WAC and All-Tournament WAC tournament honors, and was named to the All-West Region first team. Bjornethun, a graduate of Glacier Peak High School, helped the Redhawks (18-4-1) reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament this season. In addition to his defensive prowess, he scored four goals.

WWU’s Harper honored Freshman middle blocker Kayleigh Harper of Western Washington University was named to the NCAA Division II Women’s Volleyball Championship All-Tournament team last week. The Vikings lost to eventual champion Wheeling Jesuit 3-0 Friday in the national semifinals, completing their season with a 27-6 record, the fifth-most wins in program history. This was Western’s second appearance in the Final Four, joining the 2007 squad that placed second. Harper, from Oak Harbor, led the Vikings with 29.5 points in the Elite Eight and Final Four matches, including 16 kills and 10 blocks in their quarterfinal win over Rockhurst. In five NCAA tournament matches, Harper averaged 2.35 kills per set with a .355 hitting percentage. She also averaged 1.70 blocks per set.
