Reardon, aide face charges The former county executive and a former assistant are accused of repeatedly violating state campaign laws.

By Scott North, Noah Haglund and Jerry Cornfield Herald Writers

OLYMPIA — State election watchdogs on Thursday said they have charged Aaron Reardon

and a former aide with repeated violations of state laws during Reardon’s 2011 re-election campaign for Snohomish County executive.

The civil violations carry monetary fines of up to $10,000 for each instance of the offense. The

amount is up to the state Public Disclosure Commission.

R e a r d o n is accused of improperly using his office and Aaron county cellphone Reardon to conduct campaign business. The commission could decide that every time

Reardon used the office, or that phone, it amounted to a new violation, PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson said.

The lengthy investigation concluded that Reardon hired Kevin Hulten as a legislative analyst in early 2011, and then turned him loose inside county offices to work on Reardon’s campaign to secure a third term in the county’s top elected job.

Progress demanded in jails Facing arrest, Western State officials explain why mentally ill inmates languish

Hulten, formerly of Lake Stevens, was one of only two people Reardon personally hired during his time in office, and he hired him from close friend and state Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens.

EVERETT — A Snohomish County judge has threatened to have state officials arrested if they don’t show up in her courtroom to explain why mentally ill inmates continue to wait weeks in jail for beds at the problemplagued Western State Hospital.

Superior Court Judge Anita Farris last week ordered public defenders to subpoena Kevin Quigley, the secretary of the state Department Social and Health Services, and Dr. Barry Ward, a supervisor at the hospital.

The judge demanded that they

their arrest if they do not appear to answer these questions,” Farris said last week.

Public defender Tiffany Mecca said Thursday her office attempted to serve Quigley earlier this week but was told he was out of the state on vacation. She served Ward on Thursday morning and he was called to testify.

Mecca also plans to subpoena others, including Ron Adler, Western’s chief executive officer.

The hospital is under a federal mandate to reduce wait times for mentally ill inmates.

evaluate criminal defendants to determine if they are competent to assist with their own defense. They also provide inpatient treatment in an attempt to restore competency.

In response to a lawsuit that started in Snohomish County, U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman in April ordered Western to admit inmates within seven days of receiving court orders for evaluations and restoration treatment. She ruled that inmates’ civil rights routinely were violated as they languished in jails awaiting hospital beds.

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Anita Farris orders Dr. Barry Ward (facing) to answer questions about why Western State Hospital continues to defy a mandate to admit mentally ill inmates within a week of receiving court orders for evaluations and restoration treatment. Public defender Tiffany Mecca (center) argued that her client (seated) should be released. He is being held in the jail without adequate mental health treatment.

Public defender Jason Schwarz (left) tried to keep the man calm in court Thursday.

EVERETT — The union that represents most Snohomish County employees has rejected a new contract offer and signaled they’re prepared to strike if no agreement is reached.

Members voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to turn down the county’s offer, union President Chris Dugovich said. They also authorized their bargaining team to set a date for a strike. No date has been set.

They’d rather negotiate than strike, though.

“Again, that’s the last resort,” Dugovich said. “Nobody wants to jump off the cliff. We’d rather come to a resolution.”

Talks started 15 months ago.

They’re expected to resume in January.

The Washington State Council of County and City Employees represents more than half of the county’s 2,800-member workforce. Their most recent contract expired at the end of 2014. It included cost-of-living increase of 1.35 percent for the first year of the contract and 1.5 percent for the next two.

It’s common for local governments to finalize a new union contract months after the old one has expired.

Mustaches outnumber number of women in medical leadership

By Rachel Feltman

they’re all studies designed to make you chuckle. This year, one of the humorous studies brings up a serious topic: Sexism in science and medicine.

The study, in short, found that mustaches — while increasingly rare, with the researchers citing reports that less than 15 percent of men in the United States sport such facial hair — still outnumber women in positions of medical power.

“We defined a mustache

Pechman ordered the state to provide routine updates about their progress.

The state is challenging the seven-day requirement with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Arguments were heard last week.

Western consistently fails to meet the oneweek deadline.

Wait times exceed a month or more, often leaving mentally ill inmates untreated.

Hospital officials say a complicated set of circumstances make it difficult to recruit and maintain staff.

Legislators earlier this year appropriated $40 million to increase capacity at Western and meet Pechman’s mandate. More trouble surfaced, however, when federal inspectors concluded that the hospital didn’t have enough staff to safely oversee its current caseload, let alone increase capacity.

Quigley sent employees a letter in November, saying that he was pausing plans to open a new ward.

as the visible presence of hair on the upper cutaneous lip and included both stand alone mustaches (for example, Copstash Standard, Pencil, Handlebar, Dali, Supermario) as well as mustaches in combination with other facial hair (for example, Van Dyke, Balbo, The Zappa),” the researchers write in the study. “Department leaders with facial hairstyles that did not include hair on the upper lip (for example, Mutton Chops, Chin

Curtain) were considered not to have a mustache. We evaluated each leader for the presence of facial hair regardless of sex.”

The cross-sectional analysis of medical leaders was published by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Berkeley Law, and the University of California San Francisco.

The researchers point out that women were once scarce in medical schools, but have made up about half of most classes for long

enough that positions of leadership at health institutions should be looking a little more diverse by now. But in the world of U.S. academic medicine, just 38 percent of full-time faculty, 21 percent of full professors, and 16 percent of deans are women.

“Moustachioed individuals significantly outnumber women as leaders of medical departments in the US,” the researchers conclude in the study. “We believe that every department and

institution should strive for a mustache index =1.”

The mustache index is the ratio of women to men with mustaches. And before you get all up in arms about the suggestion that women should outnumber men, stop and think for a second about how few men with mustaches you know.

Of the 1,018 medical department leaders examined by the study, only 190 were moustachioed men.

But only 130 were women.

The hospital risked losing federal funding because of safety concerns tied to understaffing. Quigley said in order to address those problems he had to focus on filling vacancies before opening up more beds.

In that same letter, Quigley apologized to staff “for not being firm enough and courageous enough with the courts.”

“The state and federal court systems continue to mandate we accept additional patients on their time lines, and that we — nearly instantly — open four new wards,” Quigley wrote.

Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday proposed additional funding for Western next year to hire more staff and meet safety requirements.

In Snohomish County, Farris demanded to know what Western and DSHS have done since November.

She demanded to know how much more money taxpayers need to throw at the hospital. She said DSHS is in violation of state law and the U.S. Constitution.

It appears that wait times have become longer since April’s ruling, Farris said.

“The taxpayers of the state of Washington want to know what you’re doing with our $40 million-plus

dollars specifically,” Farris said last week.

She threatened to subpoena Quigley and others every week to update her on their progress.

“We must open new beds and you need to take steps immediately. The Legislature has made that clear, the federal courts have made that clear, and Western’s response is to put a pause on it,” Farris said.

She wondered why public defenders around the state haven’t joined forces to subpoena Quigley and others to answer for their lack of progress.

She advised Mecca to serve subpoenas every week.

She also scheduled weekly hearings through January on Mecca’s case.

In his declaration Ward suggested that counties could do more to help mentally ill inmates, such as have jails force medications on those waiting for a bed at the hospital.

Ward admitted it’s not “a perfect solution,” but said medication is the single most important component in the majority of cases in which inmates are waiting for mental health services.

Ward also said counties can release inmates from jails until a bed opens up for them.

“Only rarely have these options been utilized,” he wrote.

Farris reminded Ward that jails lack the authority to force medication on inmates living with mental illness absent court approval, and that involves support from state doctors.

Mecca had asked that her client be released from jail while waiting for admission to Western. He is charged with stalking his father. He also threatened to shoot up a high school, according to court records.

State psychologists found him unable to assist with his own defense.

He sat in his wheelchair Thursday, mumbling to himself and shouting at times. Another lawyer sat with him as Mecca grilled Ward. The hearing was recessed for three hours after the man became more agitated. He’s been in custody 77 days without substantial mental health treatment.

Farris asked Ward if he thought it would be responsible to release the man into the community in his current state. She didn’t wait for an answer.

A judge on Nov. 18 ordered the man, 23, sent to Western for restoration treatment. The psychiatric

hospital estimates that there won’t be a bed available in its forensic unit until Jan. 11.

Farris has declined to release the man, citing significant safety concerns.

“I’m now being asked to violate the constitutional rights of this defendant because Western State Hospital can’t get off their behinds and use the money they’ve been given to do what they were supposed to do with it, despite now this being an issue with the Legislature probably for three years. They had to pass a law to get Western to ask them for money and then they were found to have violated the law,” she said last week.

Farris ordered Ward to return Dec. 31 despite objections by an assistant state attorney general. The lawyer argued that there are others at Western better equipped to answer the judge’s questions about any progress to cut wait times. The judge was told that Ward had plans to be out of the state.

The judge was unmoved and told Ward to be back in her courtroom Dec. 31.

“I’m taking the one I got,” Farris said.

2 more arrests in reported gang killing Herald Staff EVERETT — Two more arrests were made early Thursday in what detectives describe as the gang-related killing of an Everettarea teen.

The 16-year-old Everett boys were booked into the Denney Juvenile Justice Center in connection with Saturday’s fatal shooting of Anthony Camacho, 17. They

were ordered held on $2 million bail during a court hearing where a judge found probable cause exists to hold the pair for investigation of first-degree murder.

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, the pair will face adult prosecution in Snohomish County Superior Court.

“The two suspects were taken into custody without incident,” said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman

for the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. “Assistance in identifying and locating the suspects was provided by the Snohomish County Violent Offender Task Force and the Everett Police Department.”

The shooting occurred at a party in the 12300 block of Fourth Place W., just south of Everett. The pair arrested Thursday join an Everett man who also is

accused in the death.

Diego Tavares, 19, was arrested Monday for investigation of firstdegree murder and has been ordered jailed on $2 million bail.

He reportedly admitted involvement in Saturday’s killing, and said the violence was part of a gang rivalry.

“Witnesses report that Tavares fired the gun,” Ireton said.

One of the teens arrested

Thursday drove Tavares to the party; the other provided him with the gun, deputy prosecutor Randy Yates told the judge.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner has determined the victim died from a gunshot wound to the head. They reported his full name is Anthony Camacho Vergara.

The investigation continues, Ireton said.

An adult female orca, identified as J-16, prepares to surface in January with her youngest calf, born earlier in the year near San Juan Island.

Oh, baby: Another orca joins the pod

By Phuong Le Associated Press

SEATTLE — Whale researchers are celebrating the birth of another baby orca in Puget Sound, the first time in decades the population has experienced such a boom.

The new baby is the eighth born since last December to the small, endangered population of killer whales that spend time in the inland waters of Washington state according to the Center for Whale Research, which keeps a census of the orcas for the federal government “It’s wonderful,” said Ken Balcomb, senior scientist with the center at Friday Harbor. “We’re hoping this is the future.”

It’s wonderful. We’re hoping this is the future.

— Ken Balcomb, senior scientist with the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor

Decades ago, there were more than 140 of the unique animals known as southern resident killer whales. That number declined to a low of 71 in the 1970s when dozens of the mammals were captured to be displayed at marine parks and aquariums across the country.

Despite a decade of research, protection and recovery efforts, the animals continue to struggle primarily because of a lack of

food, pollution and disturbances by marine vessels. The population is now at 84. There were 77 animals last December.

The newest orca, estimated to be a few weeks old, was spotted earlier this month near San Juan Island by a member of the Pacific Whale Watch Association.

Researchers couldn’t initially determine conclusively from photographs whether the whale was new.

Photos taken Wednesday, however, helped confirm that the eyepatch and other markings on the baby were distinct. Each Puget Sound orca is identified by unique black and white markings or variations in their fin shapes.

The baby is the fifth born to the J-pod, one of three groups of Puget Sound orcas. It was spotted swimming with its mother, grandmother and other family members in Haro Strait.

Balcomb said the baby boom could be caused by the fairly good salmon year on the Columbia River. “I think that sort of allowed these mothers to bring their babies to full term,” he said.

Researchers won’t know for some time if the baby is male or female.

ith his feet, faith and a friendly wave, Gary Haga shared his belief in salvation through Jesus Christ. He walked miles through Marysville wearing a sandwich-board sign. He did it every day for as long as he was able.

Haga’s earthly journey is over.

The sidewalk evangelist died at his Marysville home Saturday. His wife of 41 years, Paula Haga, was with him at the end.

It was Oct. 23 when Haga, 64, was featured in this column. Although he suffered from pancreatic cancer and was receiving hospice care, in October he was still walking eight miles each day carrying his sign.

Word of Haga’s passing was shared on the Marysville Church of the Nazarene’s Facebook page, “Marysville Naz Church.”

“It is with great sadness for those left behind that we must tell you Gary Haga has gone to be with Jesus,” the church announced Tuesday on Facebook. “While his suffering is over and he is no doubt raising his hands in praise to God, please pray for his wife and family.”

Inslee tax initiative would give state’s teachers a raise Associated Press and Herald staff

front porch

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday unveiled a plan to give teachers a raise, including increasing the state’s portion of a teacher’s starting pay by nearly $5,000 next fall to help retention rates across the state.

The governor announced the initiative when he unveiled his supplemental budget proposal, which would make some tweaks to the current $38 billion,

two-year state budget adopted earlier this year. The biggest changes include putting more money toward covering the costs of the summer wildfires and into the state’s mental health system.

In Snohomish County, the governor’s plan doesn’t help Washington State University expand its offering in Everett but would clear the way for Edmonds Community College to carry out a long-planned project.

Inslee turned down the university’s request for $832,000 in the

operating budget to launch four agriculture-related degree programs at WSU North Puget Sound headquartered on the campus of Everett Community College.

Those programs would give WSU a chance to provide research and training opportunities long available to the agricultural community east of the Cascades, officials said.

“We fully realize the constraints that are in play,” said Chris Mulick, WSU’s director of state relations. “We’re going to keep

Muhlstein: Message was ‘a love of people, love of God’ From Page A3

have been shared on Facebook since the announcement, showing that people appreciated both Haga’s message and the neighborly way he delivered it.

“His message was a love of people and a love of God. He was saying people need to have a relationship with Jesus, but it really wasn’t judgmental,” Laughlin said Thursday. “He is so clearly loved in our community.”

One man recalled on Facebook the time he met Haga while out walking on Grove Street. “I stopped him and asked for prayers.

He prayed with me right then and there. Thank you, my friend,” the comment said.

The Marysville Police Department spokesman, Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux, described Haga as a “very inspiring man” and said on Facebook, “Will miss his smile and wave very much!”

Lamoureux said

Thursday that it will be one of his life’s regrets that as many times as he saw Haga, he never stopped to talk.

“I saw him and I waved to him, and thought, ‘One of these days I’m going to stop’,” Lamoureux said. He said he’ll miss seeing Haga with the sign that read, “Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven” and “Jesus 4Gives When Asked 2.”

Laughlin said Haga had attended his church for several years. He was carrying signs before he arrived.

“I had been exposed to people who did things like that in kind of a mean-spirited way,” Laughlin said.

When the pastor took Haga out for coffee, he soon saw that this new member of his church took an approach that wasn’t “pounding you on the head with a 40-pound Bible.”

Originally from Darrington, Haga is survived by his wife, Paula, daughters, Tiffany Clark and Jennifer Bowers, and three grandchildren.

He often took his 5-year-old grandson, Christian Steinberg, to church. “He sat in the front row,” Laughlin said.

The pastor said a funeral service has yet to be scheduled.

“What he was doing took a lot of courage,” said David Lathrop, a bishop of Freedom Covenant Global Ministries in Marysville.

“I only spoke to him a couple times. He was trying to tell about Christ the best way he could.”

Clark, who lives in her

parents’ Marysville home, said her father kept walking until about a month before he died.

“Toward the end, he only made it halfway. He would call my mom to come and get him,” she said.

It wasn’t the recent rain or wind that kept him home.

“That would never have stopped him — believe me,” Clark said.

Postal Service says mailing marijuana ads is illegal

By Gosia Wozniacka Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Postal Service says it’s illegal to mail materials containing advertising for marijuana products, even in states that have legalized the federally controlled substance.

The policy statement released this week comes in response to a letter from Oregon’s congressional delegation asking the service to clarify its policy on the issue.

In November, a memo distributed in the Portland postal district said it was unlawful for newspaper outlets to run marijuana ads and use the U.S. mail for delivery.

The memo caused confusion among publishers whose newspapers have published ads for dispensaries and manufacturers in the region.

“Advertisements for the sale of marijuana are non-mailable,” Thomas Marshall, executive vice president and general

counsel of the Postal Service, wrote in a letter to the delegation.

That’s because under the federal Controlled Substances Act marijuana’s sale is prohibited, he said.

That same law also prohibits placing written ads for controlled substances like marijuana in newspapers, magazines or other publications.

“These provisions express Congress’s judgment that the mail should not be used as a means of transmitting advertisements for the sale of marijuana, even if that sale is allowed under state law,” Marshall wrote.

Marshall says the Postal Service has released a national policy, which also spells out that local postal officials can’t refuse

mail that contains pot ads, but they must report it; the matter must then be turned over to law enforcement agencies who can decide if an investigation is warranted.

In a joint statement, Reps. Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici and Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley called the agency’s stance uncompromising and said they want federal authorities to respect decisions made by Oregonians, who last year voted to legalize recreational marijuana for adult use.

Oregon voters legalized medical marijuana in 1998.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have multiplied in Oregon and many now also offer recreational pot. The industry uses billboards, websites and

“This national policy from the USPS definitely prevents some of our members advertising opportunities,” said executive director Laurie Hieb.

But, she added, “This is new advertising and none of them currently rely on it to stay in business.”

Some outlets — like two dozen newspapers in the Pamplin Media Group — have already decided not to run pot ads, but for a completely different reason: because they don’t promote health.

In addition to Oregon, the policy also impacts the states of Washington, Colorado and Alaska, where voters legalized recreational marijuana in recent years, as well as other states where medical marijuana is legal.

“Unfortunately,” said the joint statement, “the outdated federal approach to marijuana as described in the response from the Postal Service undermines and threatens news publications that choose to accept advertising from legal marijuana businesses in Oregon and other states where voters also have freely decided to legalize marijuana.”

The Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association said the Postal Service policy could rob newspapers of revenue.

The group has advised its members not to run marijuana ads if they use the postal service for some delivery.

the victims were inside a Honda Civic that had broken down early Thursday.

The car reportedly had its hazard lights on when a Mustang driven by a 29-year-old Renton woman slammed into it.

The Patrol said the 31-year-old driver and

51-year-old passenger in the Honda both died at the scene.

The driver of the Mustang had minor injuries, was treated at a hospital and then booked into the King County Jail on investigation of vehicular homicide.

Inslee: 8,700 teachers would get raises Supplemental budget highlights www.ofm.wa.gov/budget16/highlights/default.asp exemption on bottled water, saving the state nearly $83 million over the next three years.

■ Limit the real estate excise tax exemption for banks, saving the state nearly $107 million over three years.

“Having a classroom teacher to teach algebra right now is more important than some oil industry tax break,” Inslee said during a news conference to announce his budget proposal.

Republican Bill Bryant, a Port of Seattle commissioner who is running against Democrat Inslee in next year’s gubernatorial election, said that while he agrees that something needs to be done about the teacher shortage, he would pay for the raises out of the existing budget instead of through taxes.

“I applaud him for trying to do it, but I would reallocate resources rather than propose new taxes,” he said.

Inslee’s supplemental budget includes more than $178 million to cover the cost to fight last summer’s wildfires that burned 1 million acres and destroyed more than 300 homes. That money comes from the state’s emergency fund.

The budget also spends more than $137 million on mental health needs, including efforts to improve safety and improve staffing levels at the state psychiatric hospitals.

The budget pays for about 62 additional positions, including 51 registered nurses. It also puts more money toward improving hospital staff recruitment and retention rates.

Lawmakers return to the Capitol next month, when the House and Senate will each present their own supplemental budget proposals during the 60-day legislative session that is scheduled to end mid-March.

In a written statement, Democratic House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan said Inslee’s proposal was “a good starting point for discussion.”

But Senate Republicans’ main budget writer, Sen. Andy Hill, criticized the plan, writing that “the governor continues to offer plenty of ways to spend taxpayer dollars, but fails to provide a sustainable way to pay for it.”

Legislators have a lot on their plate for the short session, including

returning under the cloud of $100,000-a-day sanctions imposed by the state Supreme Court since August over lawmakers’ lack of progress on fixing the way the state pays for public education.

A legislative work group has been meeting for months in an effort to come up with a plan to satisfy the court.

Inslee’s budget proposal pays for that fine, which stands at about $16 million, out of the state’s general fund and put into a special education account.

The rest of the plan to answer the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision on education funding is in the works, Inslee said.

Lawmakers will propose a plan for fixing the way the state pays for basic education this year and will figure out how to pay for it by the 2017 legislative session, the governor said.

“Consensus on these solutions is going to take longer than a 60-day session,” Inslee said.

“is critical for allowing Edmonds CC to continue offering STEM programming to meet employer demand, train students for high-wage employment, and keeping these jobs in our region. The construction of this project is a good return on investment and will help Edmonds CC meet the needs of our community.”

The teacher proposal — which would bump the state portion of the teacher starting pay from $35,700 to $40,000 — is separate from the budget plan. It would cost about $100 million dollars a year, something Inslee says can be done if four tax exemptions are closed or limited.

Inslee said a recent state survey shows that the state is facing a shortage of qualified teachers and substitutes and school districts are struggling with teacher retention.

He says his plan will lead to more than 8,700 teachers receiving a raise ranging from $1,000 to $4,300. In addition to the base salary bump, his proposal provides a minimum 1 percent salary increase starting in the 2016-17 school year for all other teachers.

Classified and administrative staff also would receive 1 percent raises under the plan.

To pay for the teacher raises, Inslee wants to: ■ Repeal a use tax exemption for extracted fuel used by oil refineries, expected to save the state $17.7 million in the next fiscal year that begins in the middle of next year, and nearly $41 million in the 2017-2019 biennium.

■ Require nonresidents from states with no sales tax, like Oregon, to apply for sales tax refunds when they make purchases in Washington, instead of getting them automatically.

That would save the state nearly $24 million in the next fiscal year, and more than $55 million for the following two-year budget.

■ Repeal the sales tax

Court upholds bank records review

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — The Washington Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a little-known state law that allows investigators to get a suspect’s bank and other records without a search warrant — a ruling two dissenters said would give people’s curbside trash greater privacy protection than their crucial financial information.

Under the law, adopted in 1971, police and prosecutors have been able to get the records without showing probable cause that a crime had been committed — the standard that applies to search warrants. Instead, they can get the information with a subpoena issued under a lesser standard in a secret hearing called a “special inquiry judge” proceeding.

In the 7-2 ruling, the high court said those secret hearings provide adequate authority for police to obtain the records, even though people have a constitutionally protected privacy interest in them.

“We have recognized that a judicially issued subpoena can be sufficient authority of law to invade a citizen’s private affairs,” Justice Mary Fairhurst wrote for the majority.

The Legislature created the special inquiry proceedings following a wide-ranging public corruption investigation in Seattle. Modeled on similar procedures in Michigan and Connecticut — though Michigan’s law does require probable cause and Connecticut’s has since been repealed — the Washington proceedings were designed to be a more efficient alternative to the state grand jury system, which prosecutors found to be expensive and cumbersome.

The procedure, which some prosecutors say is a seldom-used but important investigative tool, allows a judge to issue subpoenas for evidence, such as bank or phone records, at the request of a prosecutor who has “reason to suspect” crime. The person whose records are obtained is not necessarily ever informed of it, even if they wind up later being charged with a crime, nor do they have an opportunity to challenge the subpoenas.

Under federal law, people generally do not have privacy interests in information they turn over to third parties, such as banks. But Washington’s Constitution is considered more protective of

people’s privacy. The state Supreme Court had never before ruled on whether the lesser reasonable-suspicion standard was good enough when it came to law enforcement obtaining someone’s bank, email or other records.

The court’s decision upheld the conviction of Michael Reeder, who authorities said swindled an octogenarian out of $1.7 million in a scam realestate deal. Before bringing charges, a King County deputy prosecutor went to a special inquiry judge and obtained 20 subpoenas for Reeder’s bank records.

A financial analyst for the state spent 600 hours poring through the material looking for evidence of the crime.

Reeder’s attorney, David Donnan, told the justices during oral arguments that such a vast intrusion into someone’s private affairs must require a more stringent showing by prosecutors than that required under the special-inquiry law.

But the majority equated the secret proceedings under state law to federal grand juries, which issue subpoenas for bank records all the time, and suggested that people have less expectation of privacy in information held by

by Seattle officers

third parties.

The dissenting justices, Sheryl Gordon McCloud and Debra Stephens, called the majority’s rationale sweeping, confusing and illogical. Washington’s Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the notion that under state law people have less expectation of privacy in records turned over to third parties, they said, and unlike federal rulings, Washington precedent even bars police from searching through curbside garbage without a warrant.

Nothing in Washington’s case law suggests that banking records are less protected than curbside trash, McCloud wrote: “Indeed, it suggests that our state constitution affords the highest level of protection for personal banking records.”

An Associated Press story in 2012 detailed how prosecutors had used special inquiry judge subpoenas as substitutes for warrants in a wide range of cases, especially in Benton County, where Seattle attorney Lenell Nussbaum and Pasco lawyer Robert Thompson questioned the practice.

Following the AP’s story, the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys adopted model rules for them.

Associated Press SEATTLE — Seattle police are investigating the death of a man who county medical investigators say died after he was injured during his arrest.

The Seattle Times reported Shun Ma, 64, was arrested at his home Dec. 3 on suspicion of threatening to kill his brother. Seattle Police Assistant Chief Robert Merner said Ma was taken to a hospital following the arrest for treatment of an

elbow injury he received during a struggle with officers.

Police said in a news release that Ma died at the hospital Tuesday.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office said Ma died of a blood clot sustained after an altercation with police. His death has been ruled a homicide.

Police said they are working with the medical examiner to review the details surrounding Ma’s death.

Man who pointed gun at trooper gets 11 years Associated Press PORT ORCHARD — A man who pointed a gun at a Washington State Patrol trooper has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.

vehicle, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of methamphetamine.

Court documents show Hall pointed a gun at the trooper while driving in May on Highway 16 after the trooper tried to pull him over for texting while driving.

Police say he also attempted to evade troopers before crashing in a ditch and running away.

GOP pushes over $600 billion in tax cuts Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republicans whipped more than $600 billion in compromise tax breaks for businesses, investors and families through the House on Thursday, as Congress tried capping 2015 with a flurry of accomplishments before the partisan collisions certain to dominate the coming election year.

The House voted 318-109 to approve the measure, which is part of a bipartisan pact that includes a $1.1 trillion bill financing government agencies in 2016.

Some uncertainty arose Thursday over the separate spending measure as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested there might not be enough Democratic votes to push it through the chamber. Congressional leaders hope to ship both bills, a 2,200-page legislative bundle, to President Barack Obama on Friday for his promised signature and adjourn for the year.

The tax bill would mostly renew scores of existing breaks that have lapsed or are about to, but its scope was impressive, with victories for both parties. Tax breaks for companies that buy equipment and invest in research would be made permanent, as would credits for millions of families with lower incomes, children or college students.

“This is a pro-growth bill,” said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi discusses Democratic reaction to the omnibus spending bill on Thursday in Washington.

“This permanent tax relief will make it easier for employers to plan ahead, hire new workers, grow their businesses.”

Most Democrats opposed the tax package, complaining that it would worsen federal deficits and make it harder to find money for the domestic programs they favor.

They also said it was imbalanced, with 60 percent of its permanent reductions going to business and just 40 percent to families.

“Middle-class wages are

stagnant or in decline,” said Rep. Rose DeLauro, D-Conn., an argument that Democrats are sure to press in the 2016 campaigns. “We need to do whatever we can to support working people.”

Tax credits for college expenses, child costs and lower-earning families are set to become permanent, as would cuts for companies that do research or buy equipment. The measure would make permanent or at least extend reductions for some

Come, listen to our angels sing

charitable contributions, builders of energy-efficient homes, producers of Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum and owners of auto race tracks.

Coupled with tax provisions that House leaders stuffed into the spending bill to attract votes, the legislation would cost the government an estimated $680 billion over the next decade. That would pump federal deficits over that period, already projected to total an astronomical $7 trillion, even higher.

“It’s a significant tax relief measure and of course you know how Republicans like to cut taxes,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. As if they needed more encouragement, Republicans said the tax bill would make revamping tax laws next year easier by clearing away those extensions now. GOP leaders hope to produce tax and health care overhaul measures next year, fully expecting vetoes from a Democratic president but savoring the campaign-season opportunity to fire up conservative voters.

Though Pelosi opposed the tax measure, Democrats were divided over the overall budget deal.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the budget agreement was “a good compromise.” The White House, in a letter expressing support, said the deal would “help to grow the economy and build middle-class economic security.”

Tucked into the two bills were provisions trimming some of the taxes that help pay for Obama’s prized 2010 health care overhaul.

The White House opposed the rollbacks, but Republicans and many Democrats savored them.

A tax on medical devices would be suspended for two years, a levy on health insurers would stop for one year and, in a victory for unions, a tax on higher-cost insurance policies would be postponed two years until 2020.

Democrats failed to block GOP language restricting federal reimbursements to insurers losing money on federal and state exchanges where people buy coverage. Many say that’s helped destabilize some markets.

Republicans won an end of the four-decade ban on U.S. crude oil exports. The industry said lifting that prohibition would create jobs and lower gasoline prices — outcomes that opponents said were flat-out wrong.

In exchange, Democrats secured extensions of tax breaks for alternative power sources such as solar and wind energy.

The tax bill also takes a shot at the Internal Revenue Service, which Republicans have not forgiven following its admission that it subjected conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to unfairly tough investigations.

The measure would make it easier for people to get information from the IRS about their cases and for groups to appeal agency decisions against them.

Carter orders Navy to build fewer ships Bloomberg WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Ash Carter has ordered Navy leaders to buy fewer ships so the service can spend more on jets such as the F-35 as well as munitions and upgraded systems for electronic warfare.

“For the last several years, the Department of the Navy has overemphasized resources used to incrementally increase total ship numbers at the expense of critically needed investments in areas where our adversaries are not standing still, such as strike, ship survivability, electronic warfare and other capabilities,” Carter wrote in a memo obtained by Bloomberg News that’s rare in its blunt rejection of a military service’s approach.

Carter said the Navy is well on its way to reaching a 308-ship goal that “should be met but not irresponsibly exceeded.”

The size of the naval fleet has long been a political

flashpoint. In the 2012 presidential race, Republican Mitt Romney criticized President Barack Obama for letting the number of ships shrink to “levels not seen since 1916.”

Navy spokesman Cmdr.

William Marks said service officials were aware of the

memo but “budget discussion are pre-decisional and it would inappropriate to discuss anything further until the FY 17 budget is finalized.”

“Shipbuilding has always been a priority for the Navy,” Marks said. “We will continue to balance

capability with capacity in our shipbuilding programs as we have always done.”

In the memo to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, Carter said the Navy’s upcoming five-year plan for fiscal 2017 to 2021 should reduce the combined purchases of Littoral

Combat Ships and a new frigate to 40 from 52. The littoral ship, made in separate versions by Lockheed Martin and Austal, has been dogged by questions about its mission, performance and ability to survive in combat.

At the same time, Carter directed the Navy to increase purchases over the five years of Lockheed’s F-35 and the F/A-18E/F made by Boeing. Thirty-one of the Navy’s version of the F-35 would be added over the Navy’s request.

He also called for more Raytheon Co. SM-6 missiles, a new lightweight torpedo, upgraded electronic warfare systems on surface ships and increased compartment space to carry more Tomahawk cruise missiles on Virginia-class submarines.

Carter praised the system, known as the “Virginia Payload Module.”

“The Navy’s strategic future requires more on focusing on posture, not only on presence, and

more on new capabilities, not only on new ship numbers,” Carter said.

With the Obama administration ending in little more than a year and Carter’s tenure at the Pentagon likely to end then as well, the Navy and its supporters in Congress may simply outlast his directive.

Questions about the Littoral Combat Ship’s survivability and mission led former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel a year ago to truncate the number of ships planned at 32, to be followed after 2019 by development and purchase of 20 better-armed frigates But the Littoral’s political survivability is buoyed by strong support on Capitol Hill.

Carter’s memo directed the Navy to cut the number of Littoral Combat Ships in its plan for fiscal 2017 to 2021 to six from 14. He also directed the Navy to choose between Lockheed and Austal by fiscal 2019 to build future ships, rather than continuing to turn out two variations.

Slow boats from China show health of world trade SINGAPORE — If you want to know how China’s economy is doing, take a slow boat from one of its ports.

Even with fuel at its cheapest price in almost a decade, the ships that carry goods around the world have been reducing speed in line with the slowdown in China, the biggest exporter.

Shipping companies

1492378

have been “slow steaming” since the global financial crisis in 2008, as a way to save costs and keep as many ships active as possible. Vessels are now operating at an average of 9.69 knots, compared with 13.06 knots seven years ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

That means Nike sneakers and Barbie dolls made in China can now take two weeks to arrive in Los Angeles and a month to

reach Le Havre, France — a week longer than if the ships were moving at full speed. And there’s scope for ships to go even slower, according to A.P. Moeller-Maersk.

“This is the new norm,” said Rahul Kapoor, a Singapore-based director at Drewry Maritime Services.

“The overall speed of the industry has gone down and there’s no going back.”

In the boom years before the 2008 financial crisis,

shipping lines expanded fleets and ran ships as fast as they could to keep up with the surging demand for goods manufactured half a world away. As demand dropped, the lines were left with too many vessels, and customers eager to reduce inventory, who would rather pay a lower rate to receive goods than guarantee quick delivery.

“In 2003, if you were on a tanker, container ships would zoom past and in a matter of a few minutes you couldn’t see them on the horizon,” Kapoor said.

“Since 2008, it’s been a different story.”

Fuel costs are the biggest expense for shipping lines and the drop in oil has given them some relief from plunging freight rates driven lower by overcapacity and sluggish global growth. Reducing a ship’s speed by 10 percent can cut fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent, according to ship assessor Det Norske Veritas.

With the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ decision this month to abandon production limits, Brent crude oil has fallen about 35 percent this year to around $37 a barrel, close to the lows reached during the financial crisis.

Venezuelan Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino said last

month that prices could drop $20 more in 2016.

Even so, shipping companies such as Neptune Orient Lines and China Shipping Container Lines are still losing money.

“There is still scope for further expansion of slow steaming, even in times of low oil prices,” said Mikkel Elbek Linnet, spokesman for A.P. Moeller-Maersk’s container unit, Maersk Line, which pioneered slow steaming in 2008. “Our customers do not want to pay a higher price for faster transport times.”

Companies from HapagLloyd in Germany to Hanjin Shipping in South Korea say they also have no plans to increase the speed of their vessels.

The go-slow means shipping lines are switching to new designs that favor size over speed. Maersk Line’s so-called Triple-E ships, which can each carry 18,000 20-foot boxes, were made with new hulls and engines to go slower, ditching a widely used design that had enabled ships to sail as fast as 29 knots.

Other shipping lines are seeking similar giants.

“Everyone saw the benefits Maersk Line was getting with the newly designed ships and slow steaming,” according to Park Moohyun, at Hana Daetoo

Securities Co. in Seoul.

Shipping companies have lost money or seen profits decline in the third quarter, typically their busiest period as retailers in the U.S. and Europe increase inventory ahead of the year-end holidays. Levies for a 40-foot container to Los Angeles from Hong Kong dropped to $818 for the week ended Dec. 15, the lowest price since Drewry Shipping Consultants began compiling the figures in April 2011.

That’s prompting companies to idle some vessels.

Shipping companies last month reduced capacity by the most in five years, with the biggest cuts coming on the Asia-Europe route, according to data provider Alphaliner.

Overcapacity could get even worse as lines launch new, bigger and more efficient ships. Vessels with a total capacity of about 2.9 million 20-foot containers are expected to be delivered this year and next, according to Drewry.

“The volume of trade is coming down,” said Shin Ji Yoon, head of research at KTB Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. “Slowing global demand has created oversupply of ships and slow-steaming has been used to ease some of that problem.”

A life-long lover of horses, her work with friend Albert Klein as a breeder of miniature horses culminated in her establishing the Minuteman bloodline.

Lori was devoted to family and friends and would often volunteer to help out in most any way that she could. She was active with her son and nieces in 4H and FFA and could be found at various horse shows and the 4H tack sale.

Lori worked at Lowes for 12 years eventually reaching the level of Electrical depar tment manager. We enjoyed her stories of surprising and teaching men that it was possible for a woman to know more about electrical than some “professionals”.

She could be strong and independent when needed, but was always warm and caring. She was family, and she will be greatly missed.

Obama releases big energy rule The Washington Post They dribble out regularly — Energy Department rules or “standards” that require ever improving levels of energy efficiency for dishwashers, refrigerators and much more.

On Thursday though, the Department dumped what it is describing as the “largest energy-saving standard in history” and one that “will save more energy than any other standard issued by the Department to date” — a standard governing commercial air conditioners and furnaces. These devices consume a gigantic amount of energy across America because, well, they keep us comfortable in large buildings.

“It’s over 10 percent of all

the commercial space energy.

It covers heating and cooling for roughly half of commercial space,” said Ernest Moniz, secretary of energy.

Accordingly, making these devices more efficient can thus really move the needle, and the new standard, says the department, will translate into $167 billion in saved costs for businesses over the life of the standard, as well as 885 million tons fewer carbon dioxide emissions. (That’s just shy of a gigaton, or a billion tons.)

“The amended energy conservation standards being adopted for these equipment would result in the significant conservation of energy and be technologically feasible and economically justified,” the

new rule states.

The new standard was actually produced through what Moniz calls a “consensus process” involving industry, labor groups, and environmentalists.

A number praised the action Thursday.

“They really came out with the most favorable ruling for all parties involved,” said Terry Johnston, vice-president and chief operating officer for Lennox International, a large maker of industrial air conditioners and other products.

Johnston said that while Lennox will have to create some new products to comply with the standard, it has adequate of time to do so.

What makes the rule the biggest ever, according to the

Energy Department, is the total amount of energy that it saves over the lifetime of the standard, which would be 15 quads — short for a quadrillion (a one with fifteen zeros after it) British thermal units, or BTUs.

Terror charge for gun buyer Enrique Marquez illegally bought two rifles that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife used to kill 14 people.

WASHINGTON — For the first time in more than 60 years, firearms and automobiles are killing Americans at an identical rate, according to new mortality data released this month by the CDC. In 2014, the age-adjusted death rate for both firearms (including homicides, suicides and accidental deaths) and motor vehicle events (car crashes, collisions between cars and pedestrians, etc) stood at 10.3 deaths per 100,000 people.

The convergence of the trend lines above is driven primarily by a sharp drop in the rate of motor vehicle fatalities since 1950. In the late 1960s, for instance, there were well over 25 motor vehicle deaths for every 100,000 people in the U.S. Since then, that rate has fallen by more

WASHINGTON — The Air Force will allow enlisted personnel to become drone pilots for the first time to help meet demands for increased surveillance over global hot spots, according to a new policy announced Thursday.

The decision, which follows months of study, is the latest Air Force effort to overhaul the growing drone program, which has struggled to recruit and retain enough officers to serve as drone pilots. Counterterrorism operations including the battle against Islamic State have created constant demand for aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR. Drone pilots say they are overworked and badly stressed.

CWA endorses Sanders Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Thursday received his biggest labor endorsement yet from the 700,000-member Communications Workers of America. The Vermont senator, a self-described Democratic socialist who has been lagging Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in union endorsements despite his populist campaign platform, said he “would have won a lot more national union support” if other national unions followed the same process as the CWA. The group’s president said the decision to back Sanders was a reflection of strong support for him by the rankand-file, expressed in a survey of the members.

Sen. Ted Cruz has picked up another big endorsement in the evangelical Christian community: James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family.

The influential evangelical leader announced Thursday he plans to back Cruz, whom he said has a “record on religious liberty, life and marriage that is second to none in this Republican field.” Cruz has been seeking to solidify conservative and religious leaders behind his campaign, which has been gaining momentum both nationally and in Iowa.

Federal officials drive Enrique Marquez (in back seat) as they arrive at U.S. District Court on Thursday in Riverside, California.

could bring a maximum of 35 years in federal prison.

A lengthy affidavit outlines evidence against Marquez, including statements he gave investigators over 11 days after he waived his rights to remain silent and be represented by a lawyer.

He called 911 hours after the attack to say his neighbor had used his gun in the shooting, using an expletive to describe Farook.

Marquez then showed up agitated at a hospital emergency room, saying he had downed nine beers and was “involved” in the shooting. He was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward.

Marquez lived next door to Farook, 28, who introduced him to Islam 10 years ago.

Marquez told authorities he converted to Islam around age 16 and four years later was spending most of his time at Farook’s home, reading,

listening to and watching “radical Islamic content” that included al-Qaida instructions on how to make bomb.

Four years ago, Marquez said, he and Farook planned to toss pipe bombs into the cafeteria at the community college they attended and then shoot people as they fled.

He said they also planned to toss pipe bombs on a busy section of freeway that has no exits, bringing traffic to a halt and then picking off the occupants. Marquez would shoot from a nearby hillside, targeting police, as Farook fired at drivers from the road.

As part of the plan, Marquez bought two assault rifles — in November 2011 and February 2012. He said he agreed to buy them because “Farook looked Middle Eastern.”

Authorities previously said Marquez had legally purchased the guns Farook and Malik used. But the charges allege

that by buying the guns for someone else, Marquez made false statements on the background check paperwork.

The FBI has said Farook and Malik were radicalized before they met online in 2013, but the court documents detail how much earlier Farook had turned down that path and plotted violence.

Marquez said he and Malik aborted their plans after authorities interrupted a terror plot in the area in November 2012 that involved four men who wanted to join al-Qaida to fight U.S. forces overseas.

Right after the San Bernardino shooting, Marquez called his mother to say he was safe but that he wouldn’t be coming home, neighbor Lorena Aguirre said. Marquez’s friends were shocked to learn he was linked to the attack and described him as a friendly, easygoing guy who was not religious.

Colorado: Cruz support

Associated Press RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The man who bought the assault rifles used by his friend in the San Bernardino massacre was charged Thursday with terrorism-related counts for plotting an earlier attack that was aborted.

Enrique Marquez, 24, was charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. The charges allege he plotted with gunman Syed Rizwan Farook to launch attacks in 2011 and 2012 at a community college and a congested freeway at rush hour, but they never carried out their plans.

Marquez also was charged with illegally purchasing two assault rifles that Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, used to kill 14 people at a holiday meeting of Farook’s health department co-workers Dec. 2.

The shooters died hours later using those same firearms in a gunbattle with police.

Marquez was working at a Riverside bar at the time of the shooting and is not alleged to have had a role in the attack, but prosecutors said he was linked to the killings by the guns and bomb-making materials he bought that the couple planned to detonate.

“His prior purchase of the firearms and ongoing failure to warn authorities about Farook’s intent to commit mass murder had fatal consequences,” U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said.

A criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court charges Marquez with three counts that

than half.

Over the same period gun deaths rose, but by a smaller amount. Gun homicide rates have fallen in recent years, but those gains have been offset by rising gun suicide rates. Today, suicides account for roughly two out of every three gun deaths.

One way of illustrating the shift in gun and auto deaths is to look at state-level data.

In 2005, gun deaths outnumbered vehicle deaths in just two states, Alaska and Maryland, plus the District of Columbia. By 2014, gun deaths were greater in 21 states plus D.C. Medical ailments, like cancer and heart attacks, kill considerably more people each year than either guns or automobiles according to the CDC. But firearms and motor vehicles are among the leading nonmedical causes of mortality in

the U.S. They kill more people than falls do each year, and considerably more people than alcohol.

The steady decline in motor vehicle deaths over the past 65 years can be attributed to a combination of improved technology and smarter regulation. The federal government mandated the presence of seat belts in the 1960s. The ’70s brought anti-lock brakes.

The ’80s brought an increased focus on drunken driving and mandatory seat belt use. Airbags came along in the ’90s.

More recent years have seen mandates on electronic stability systems, increased penalties for distracted driving and forthcoming requirements for rear-view cameras.

The result has been safer cars, safer roads, better drivers and a decades-long decline in motor vehicle fatalities,

according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

By contrast, the history of American gun control regulation has been more erratic.

Restrictions passed in earlier eras, like the assault weapons ban, have been undone recently. During the Bush administration, Congress passed laws that prohibited law enforcement from publicizing data showing where criminals obtained their guns, and granted gunmakers immunity from some civil lawsuits.

The result? A gun mortality rate that’s higher than where it stood 50 years ago. Particularly vexing is that there may be ways to improve gun safety and reduce firearm deaths. But innovations in gun safety are hard to come by, in large part because of Congress’ longstanding ban on many types of federal gun research.

Florida: School threats School districts from Florida to California reported receiving threats Thursday similar to those that closed Los Angeles’ massive school system earlier this week, though in most cases students attended class without interruption. Tuesday’s districtwide closure in Los Angeles was sparked by an email threatening a large-scale attack. New York City schools received a similar threat, but officials there concluded it was a hoax.

Tennessee: Refugee plea Evangelical leaders are urging Christians to welcome refugees from Syria and Iraq despite opposition by many governors and presidential candidates.

Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Assemblies of God, World Relief and other Christian groups said they would not surrender to fears surrounding the issue. The remarks are from a statement released Thursday called a “Christian Declaration on Caring for Refugees: An Evangelical Response.” A recent Pew Research Center survey found white evangelicals had the greatest opposition of any American religious group to accepting more refugees.

New York: Sex crimes A man and a woman who kidnapped and sexually abused two Amish girls last year were sentenced Thursday to lifetime federal prison terms. Nicole Vaisey, 26, and her boyfriend, Stephen Howells, 40, admitted in state and federal courts that they kidnapped the two girls and sexually exploited six children altogether. Victims were drugged and recorded during sex acts, authorities said. The judge recommended sex offender treatment in prison for both.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: Turkish relations Israel and Turkey have reached a preliminary agreement to restore diplomatic relations ruptured by the 2010 Israeli naval raid on a Turkish aid ship heading for the Gaza Strip, an Israeli government official said. The understanding was reached at secret talks in Switzerland, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment on record. A final deal has yet to take shape, he said.

Lab girds for nuclear attack Everett’s SNBL USA gets contract to test drugs for emergency use after exposure to radiation.

By Jim Davis Herald Business Journal Editor

An Everett laboratory will help test medicine that could be used to treat survivors of a nuclear attack.

SNBL USA won a federal contract to be one of the laboratories in a pool used to determine what medicine would be best to treat radiation poisoning.

“God forbid if it’s ever needed, but, if it is needed, I’m glad

we’ve done it,” said Mark Crane, SNBL’s vice president of business development.

The contract is up to $20 million a year for the next five years.

To gear up for the work, SNBL has added 40 workers in the past three months and is expected to hire another 20 to 30, Crane said.

After the company finishes hiring, SNBL expects to employ 350.

While millions of people could die if a nuclear attack occurred on American soil, millions more could be exposed to varying levels of radiation, depending on their distance from the blast.

“Everybody is going to assume that the government is prepared for this,” Crane said. “The truth of the matter is the government

is preparing.”

To do the work, the laboratory is expected to expose animals, including mice, rats, pigs and monkeys, with levels of radiation to determine how effective the medicine could be to treat survivors.

SNBL works hard to minimize the pain and suffering of the animals, said Ken Gordon, executive director of the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research.

“I think everyone in the business, if we could find alternatives to using animals in research, we would jump at that chance, but we don’t have that as an alternative at the moment,” Gordon said.

Like all laboratories that do

animal testing, SNBL has a committee of scientists and community members that determines if the work can only be done on animals, the appropriate number of animals to use and what can be done for their care, he said.

SNBL is owned by Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories of Japan. The company opened in Everett in 1999 and the lab currently sits on a 29-acre site along Seaway Boulevard. A Shinto shrine stands outside, honoring animals used in research.

This will be the first federal contract for SNBL. The contract is through the Biomedical Advanced Research and See NUCLEAR, Page A12

FBI arrests drug-scandal CEO

securities fraud and conspiracy.

A second defendant, lawyer Evan Greebel, of Scarsdale, New York, was charged with conspiracy and also pleaded not guilty.

In September, Shkreli was widely vilified after a drug company he founded, Turing Pharmaceuticals, spent $55 million for the U.S. rights to sell a medicine called Daraprim and promptly raised the price from $13.50 to $750 per pill.

The 62-year-old drug is the only approved treatment for toxoplasmosis, a rare parasitic disease that mainly strikes pregnant women, cancer patients and AIDS patients.

The move sparked outrage on the presidential campaign trail and helped prompt a Capitol Hill hearing on drug prices. Headlines called the Brooklyn-born Shkreli

such thing as “America’s most hated man,” the “drug industry’s villain” and “biotech’s bad boy” — and those were just some of the more printable names.

Hillary Clinton called it pricegouging and said the company’s behavior was “outrageous.” Donald Trump called Shkreli “a spoiled brat.” Bernie Sanders returned a donation from Shkreli.

Prosecutors said the investigation that led to Shkreli’s arrest dated back to last year, before the furor over the drug-price increase.

Shkreli defended the increase by saying that insurance and other programs would enable patients to get the drug and that the profits would help fund research into new treatments.

But he also made an unapologetic business-is-business

CRAIG RUTTLE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

argument for the price jump. In fact, he recently said he probably should have raised it more.

“No one wants to say it, no one’s proud of it, but this is a capitalist society, a capitalist system and capitalist rules,” he said this month. “And my investors expect me to maximize profits, not to minimize them or go half or go 70 percent but to go to 100 percent of the profit curve.”

Amid the uproar, Shkreli said Turing would cut the price of Daraprim. Last month, however, Turing reneged. Instead, the company is reducing what it charges hospitals for Daraprim by as much as 50 percent.

While most patients’ copayments will be $10 or less a month, insurance companies will be See FRAUD, Page A12

China’s biggest airline said Thursday it’s buying more than a hundred Boeing 737 jets in a deal worth about $10 billion that comes just months after the U.S. plane maker announced plans to build a Chinese finishing plant for the aircraft type. China Southern Airlines is buying 30 Boeing 737 Next Generation jets and 50 737 Max aircraft, the company said. Its Xiamen Airlines unit is buying 30 of Boeing’s 737 Max jets. The Next Generation planes have a list price of $81.2 million while the Max series aircraft sells for $96.1 million. The order comes nearly three months after Boeing Co. signed a deal with state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China to build its first final assembly plant in China, for 737 aircraft.

Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, another sign of strength in the job market. The Labor Department said applications for jobless aid dropped 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 271,000. The less volatile 4-week average was essentially unchanged at 271,000. Claims have been near historic lows for nine months. Layoffs have fallen to pre-recession levels.

The unemployment rate last month stayed at a seven-year low of 5 percent. Employers have been adding a healthy 210,000 jobs a month so far this year.

Martin Shkreli, 32, is charged with securities fraud and conspiracy for incidents unrelated to his medicine-pricing decision.

NEW YORK — A boyish-looking entrepreneur who became the new face of corporate greed when he jacked up the price of a lifesaving drug fiftyfold was led away in handcuffs by the FBI on unrelated fraud charges Thursday in a scene that left more than a few Americans positively gleeful.

Martin Shkreli, a 32-year-old former hedge fund manager and relentless self-promoter who has called himself “the world’s most eligible bachelor” on Twitter, was arrested in a drab gray hoodie and taken into federal court in Brooklyn, where he pleaded not guilty. He was released on $5 million bail.

If convicted, he could get up to 20 years in prison. He left court without saying anything.

Online, many people took delight in his arrest, calling him a greedy, arrogant “punk” who gave capitalism a bad name and got what was coming to him.

Some cracked jokes about lawyers jacking up their hourly fees 5,000 percent to defend him in his hour of need.

Prosecutors said that between 2009 and 2014, Shkreli lost some of his hedge fund investors’ money through bad trades, then looted Retrophin, a pharmaceutical company where he was CEO, for $11 million to pay back his disgruntled clients.

Shkreli “engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said.

Forecasters predict record vehicle sales Two auto sales forecasting companies say Americans will buy more cars and trucks in December than any other month in more than a decade.

LMC Automotive and J.D. Power are predicting that U.S. sales will hit 1.71 million this month, the highest number since sales reached 1.8 million in July of 2005. The companies said this week’s quarter-point interest rate increase will have only a minimal impact on auto sales.

Development Authority, which is under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Federal officials are trying to determine what would happen if a nuclear explosion occurs in America. One of the scenarios being examined is if a 10-megaton bomb blew up in Manhattan.

“All those people who have seen the flash, they all think they’ve been exposed to high levels of radiation and they think they’re all going to die,” Crane said.

“They’re not.”

People who suffer from enough radiation poisoning go through stages of sickness.

The first is called the blood syndrome, where a survivor loses all of their white blood cells and loses the ability to produce more.

That makes them more at risk for infection.

In the Manhattan scenario, people and cars on the street would be buried under five to six feet of broken glass falling from the skyscrapers damaged during the blast.

“You’ve got cuts from glass and bricks, you’ve probably got a broken arm or a broken leg,” Crane said. “So chances are excellent that you’ll be exposed to an infection.”

If the Every Student Succeeds Act manages nothing more than to erase the expression, “teaching to the test” from English usage entirely it should count as a win for educational progress.

Another major change that the new law will bring is in accountability, which will now move from the federal government to the individual states. Of course, the feds never really cut all the strings in a system, so states still have to submit accountability plans to the Department of Education and meet guidelines for how these plans should be structured.

The Every Student Succeeds Act also eliminates the specific actions that would follow if a school consistently failed to perform adequately. The problem of failing schools, like testing, will now be left to the individual states to figure out. The feds are saying, “Fix it.” But they are not saying how.

The best thing about Every Student Succeeds is that it reduces the size of the federal footprint. The fundamental flaw in the No Child Left Behind law wasn’t the insistence that failing schools had to shape up or be shut down. And, no, it wasn’t the testing requirements, either. It was simply that the federal government ended up trying to micromanage everything from school selection, testing and curriculum to classroom teaching and school funding.

On the other hand, it is not clear that the federal government now has a clear picture in its mind of what its role in education should be. Handing off responsibility for setting achievement

white blood cells were obliterated? Most of the work will involve existing drugs that can be used in new ways.

One drug already determined to be useful is Neupogen made by Bothell’s Amgen. (The firm has since closed its Bothell and Seattle campuses.)

The University of Maryland conducted the tests to determine that the drug is beneficial.

“The government is being pretty smart here,” Crane said. “They’re most interested in drugs that are already on the market for a new application.”

Now the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority is determining what other drugs could help with initial radiation sickness or later syndromes when the intestines degrade or tumors form in the lungs.

laboratories across the U.S. for the research.

As more drugs are tested, each laboratory will bid on the work. SNBL doesn’t know how much work it will be contracted to do.

Crane said that he expected that SNBL will be awarded several studies.

How many animals will be used in the testing won’t be known until the lab is awarded the studies.

The laboratory has added or is hiring animal husbandry technicians, clinical pathologists, study directors and veterinary technicians.

The company has also hired support staff in IT and accounting.

The federal government did research into how to prepare for a nuclear attack during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended, research dried up, Crane said.

When the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, federal authorities started worrying about what could happen if a weapon of mass destruction went off.

The research conducted during the Cold War is outdated; Crane likens it to technology used 30 to 40 years ago versus what’s used today.

“We don’t have the emergency kit, ‘In case of nuclear attack, open this box,’” Crane said. “That doesn’t exist.”

The best thing about Every Student Succeeds is that it reduces the size of the federal footprint. standards to states is a good thing, but we have to face up to the fact that by doing so we are returning to a system that was malfunctioning so badly that it precipitated the No Child Left Behind law. Is that a good thing?

Setting standards by itself will not improve our public educational system. Only standards that are enforced are effective, and some cities and states have proven themselves to be unable to stand up to resistance to enforcement. Every effort to shut down a school, either because it is failing to educate its students or failing Economics 101 by having too few students, is met with an intensity of protests and complaints that quickly reaches the threshold of political significance. When school districts install graduation requirements based on educational standards everyone is in favor of the idea…until it is their sons and daughters who have to repeat the eighth grade, or attend summer school to receive their high school diplomas.

The Every Student Succeeds Act will correct some of our mistakes and, hopefully, open up some new paths to educational improvement. We expend an enormous amount of our time and resources on public education and its success or failure will have a direct and powerful impact on our economy. It is worrisome that the new law still doesn’t address the fundamental problems that are sabotaging our public education system. With any luck at all, though, that will come later.

Saving a source of local news UW official said the university will “stand down” from its acquisition of the station if a group can make a successful bid. Such an effort has about six months to put an offer together while the Federal Communications Commission reviews the UW’s purchase of KPLU. It’s a smart move by the UW. The pending sale of the station was controversial because PLU officials negotiated and approved the deal without notifying or considering feedback from KPLU’s Community Advisory Council. The council, a requirement of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting as a condition of the federal funding the station receives, had no opportunity to comment until after the deal was made public.

KUOW, like KPLU relies heavily on donations from listeners. Nearly 90 percent of KUOW’s revenue comes from the donations of listeners, businesses and corporations.

And many of KUOW’s supporters also are supporters and listeners of KPLU. The University of Washington risks

alienating many of KUOW’s supporters unless it is seen as giving a community group a fair shot at making a competitive offer.

While there is some overlap of national NPR programming, the station’s local news operations are separate. The loss of KPLU’s news division would be noticeable throughout the state and the Northwest. Compared to the hour of local daily talk programming and short news segments during NPR broadcasts that KUOW offers, KPLU is a major provider of quality journalism.

Its weekly newsmagazine “Sound Effect,” focuses its news team on one issue for an hour. Most recently it examined the academic turnaround demonstrated by Seattle’s Rainier Beach High School.

Recently, its new staff teamed with the Seattle Times to produce a two-segment report on the state’s clean energy grants and whether public funds should be used for emerging clean energy technologies.

KPLU also offers enjoyable and informative segments

including its weekly talks with climatologist Cliff Mass and sports columnist Art Thiel. It also originated the popular daily segment about birds and the environment, “BirdNote,” which is now broadcast by more than 100 stations across the country.

Beyond the journalism, the sale also risks the loss of KPLU’s current staff of jazz and blues hosts, who offer original programming and innovative efforts, including School of Jazz, which encourages and promotes young jazz musicians in the region.

It’s also worth noting that KPLU’s broadcast signal is the stronger of the two stations for most of Snohomish County.

A successful offer by a community group, likely headed by the KPLU Community Advisory Council, would require the mother of all fund drives. The UW has offered $7 million for the radio station; a competitive offer will have to come close to matching that.

Listeners of KPLU should support the drive, but anyone interested in preserving a vital source of local journalism should help as well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■INCOME TAX

Makes sense, but will be abused I read with great interest the Wednesday editorial on a balanced approach to taxes for the state budget. I could get behind this proposal if I thought that the entire package could be implemented as presented, but I seriously doubt that the entire package would be adopted. It certainly makes sense to have a three-legged triad for taxes. (A tax on assets, the property tax; a tax on consumption, the sales tax; and a tax on income, the income tax.) The problem is that politicians simply cannot be trusted to keep from fiddling with it.

In 1913, the federal income tax was implemented with the promise that it would only affect the top 2 percent of earners. We can see how that has worked out.

If you want people to get behind tax reform, then there needs to be an equally balanced approach to a thorough analysis of the state budget and sunsetting of programs that are no longer working.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Mental health treatment

Not enough help available for mentally ill

By Sherry Bonnett

I

have been following the stories written by Diana Hefley in November, “What Jail Can’t Cure,” her excellent coverage concerning the mentally ill.

After Ronald Reagan closed many state hospitals, all the problems began, letting mentally ill people to fend for themselves, put out on the streets even though they were distressed and many unable to cope with daily life. They were put on drugs then let loose on the streets all over the United States. The hospitals were closed without any thought or regard for where these people were supposed to go.

That is what is wrong today; there is no place for them to go. I know all about this scene since I went through Hell trying to help my husband. My husband had a brain injury a month after we moved to Washington. He fell in our garage and hit his head hard.

He was rushed to Skagit Valley Hospital, which sent him by helicopter to Harborview in Seattle. He was there for 60 days in intensive care. When he came home, he was never the same; he had anger issues, confusion and delusions. He went from doctor to doctor, tests and more tests all with similar results. He was put on medications that at time intensified the anger in his confused mind. Drugs were changed. On some he was like a zombie, not knowing who he was or who I was either.

After falling in our bath tub, I could not lift him out and had to call 911. They took him to a hospital and gave him drugs to calm him down.

In the meantime I went to an elder attorney to have everything legally done, so I could help him and become his guardian. He was in and out of hospitals, and the police were called numerous times, I was at my wits’ end.

He was sent to a senior

behavior facility in SedroWoolley 15 times. He was put into assisted living three times, and I was asked to take him home because he was to disruptive to other patients.

He kicked nurses and called them names. He became more and more violent and different drugs were tried. We finally were able to get him into Western State Hospital. I was his legal guardian by then and he was declared legally blind and mentally incapable, unable to care for himself. This all took place between 2004 and 2007.

I was very happy to finally have a place where he was cared for. Our family took turns to see him twice a week from Camano Island to Lakewood. He continued to go downhill and I was pleased with the care that Western State gave him. He died in July 2007 after so much struggle and confusion and pain. It was a nightmare for me, a living Hell. This could not have been

IN OUR VIEW | Sale of KPLU

The announcement in late November that Pacific Lutheran University intended to sell its popular National Public Radio affiliate and jazz music station, KPLU (88.5 FM), to the University of Washington was met with disappointment and resignation that another valued source of state and regional journalism was likely being silenced.

Following the sale, the UW would have shuttered KPLU’s news operations and changed the its format to an all-jazz station. The university said the station’s news staff would be laid off, but could apply for positions at KUOW (94.9 FM), the region’s other major NPR affiliate, but it made no promises to hire KPLU staff or even that new positions at KUOW would be created.

There’s now some hope that the station and its local programming, even without its familiar call letters, might survive.

Officials with UW and PLU are negotiating an addendum to the purchase agreement that would allow a community group to make a competing offer for the radio station. A

possible without him being put into a place where he got the care he needed.

Why can there not be a permanent hospital for the mentally ill. If the young man in Diana Hefley’s reporting, Keaton Farris, would have had some place to go, maybe he could have been saved. So many mentally ill patients are walking the streets, homeless. Western State is fighting with the government for more funds because the government keeps cutting funds for them. Western has a waiting list to get in.

There is a great shortage of mental health doctors and nurses, and it is worse than it was in 2007 for me. I admire Diana Hefley and her excellent coverage of this terrible problem of treatment for the mentally ill.

I sincerely hope something can be done in the future with Western State Hospital.

Climate pact is as effective as the Iran deal

L

ast Saturday, Barack Obama gained the second jewel in his foreign policy triple crown: the Paris climate accord. It follows his Iran nuclear deal and awaits but the closing of Guantanamo to complete his glittering legacy.

To be sure, Obama will not be submitting the climate agreement for Senate ratification.

It would have no chance of passing — as with the Iranian nuclear deal, also never submitted for CHARLES the Senate KRAUTHAMMER ratification Obama knew he’d never get. And if he does close Guantánamo, it will be in defiance of overwhelming bipartisan congressional opposition.

You see, visionary thinkers like Obama cannot be bound by normal constitutional strictures. Indeed, the very unpopularity of his most cherished diplomatic goals is proof of their prophetic farsightedness.

Yet the climate deal brought back from Paris by Secretary of State John Kerry turns out to be no deal at all. It is, instead, a series of carbon-reducing promises made individually and unilaterally by the world’s nations.

No enforcement, no sanctions, nothing legally binding. No matter, explained Kerry on “Fox News Sunday”: “This mandatory reporting requirement ... is a serious form of enforcement, if you will, of compliance, but there is no penalty for it, obviously.”

The great Paris achievement is supposed to be global “transparency.” But what can that possibly amount to when you can’t even trust the reporting? Just three months ago, the world’s greatest carbon emitter, China, admitted to having underreported its burning of coal by 17 percent, a staggering error equal to the entire coal consumption of Germany.

I’m a climate-change agnostic. But I’m realistic enough to welcome prudent hedging against a possible worst-case scenario. I’ve long advocated for a multilateral agreement (unilateral U.S. actions being climatically useless and economically suicidal) negotiated with the most important players — say, India, China and the European Union — containing real limits, real numbers and real enforcement. That would be a genuine achievement.

What the climate-change conference produced instead was hot air, applauded by 196 well-fed participants. China promises to begin reducing carbon emissions 15 years from now. India announced it will be tripling its coal-fired electricity capacity by 2030. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is effectively dismantling America’s entire coal industry.

Looking for guidance on how the U.S. will fare under this new environmental regime? Take a glance at Obama’s other great triumph, the Iran nuclear accord.

Does the American public know that the Iranian parliament has never approved it? And that the Iranian president has never signed it? Iran is not legally bound to anything.

On Nov. 21, Iran conducted its second test of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile in direct contravention of two U.N. Security Council prohibitions, including one that incorporates the current nuclear agreement — which bans such tests for eight years.

Our response? After Iran’s first illegal launch in October, the administration did nothing. A few words at the United Nations. Weren’t we repeatedly assured that any Iranian violation would be met with vigorous action? No worry, again. As U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power told a congressional hearing last week, “discussions are a form of U.N. action.”

The heart sinks.

It was obvious from the very beginning that the whole administration promise of “snapback” sanctions was a farce. The Iranians knew it. Hence their contempt for even the prospect of American pushback: two illegal missile launches conducted ostentatiously even before sanctions are lifted and before they receive their $150 billion in unfrozen assets early next year.

Why not? They know Obama will ignore, downplay and explain away any violation, lest it jeopardize his transformative foreign policy legacy.

It’s a legacy of fictional agreements.

The proliferators and the polluters are not bound. By our own volition, we are.

Only Guantanamo remains. Within a month, one-sixth of the remaining prisoners will be released. Obama will not be denied.

Charges: Hours spent using county equipment, time From Page A1

Reardon’s re-election campaign,” the charges say.

The investigation confirmed evidence of the misconduct as laid out in stories published by The Daily Herald from 2011 through 2013.

Among other things, investigators found Reardon used county phones to make hundreds of calls to campaign staff and prospective donors. It also found evidence of Hulten using fake identities to attack Reardon’s political enemies, including the former executive’s 2011 election opponent, former state Rep. Mike Hope.

After the 2011 election, The Herald pored over county phone records and Reardon’s office schedule. The analysis found he made more than 1,000 calls on his government cellphone to campaign staff and those who gave money to his re-election.

That added up to 43 hours dialing for dollars while he was purportedly managing county business.

PDC staff performed a similar analysis, including Reardon’s calls with his

campaign consultants.

“The total amount of time used equated to 50 hours and 20 minutes of usage by Reardon on his Snohomish County cellphone for campaign purposes,” investigators found.

Reardon’s campaignrelated phone pushed his county phone plan over its allotted minutes. Taxpayers were charged an extra $141.25, according to commission documents.

Investigators found Hulten worked on Reardon’s re-election campaign and was protected at work by the executive. He allegedly used his countyissued laptop and desktop computers, telephone and email address to help Reardon during the 2011 election against Hope. For example, Hulten made three separate calls about political activities to PDC staff from the county executive’s office. In those calls, Hulten lied about who he was, using his brother’s name.

Hulten also made six calls from his work phone during normal work hours to Reardon’s political fundraiser, Colby Underwood, investigators found. Staff

also turned up opposition research about Hope in a cloud-based Dropbox account belonging to Hulten and Jon Rudicil, who is Hobbs’ brother-inlaw and was another Reardon aide. The Dropbox account contained background investigations Hulten ran against Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe, County Councilman Brian Sullivan, former deputy executive Gary Weikel and Herald reporter Scott North.

Hulten also is accused of conducting opposition research at work in support of Tacoma attorney Jack Connelly’s 2012 campaign against state Sen. Jeannie Darneille, D-Tacoma, who won the election.

Documents in the Dropbox account show billing statements to Connelly’s political consultant from Hulten and Rudicil’s company, which they called Thomas and French, LLC. Investigators also confirmed, through examination of metadata, that Hulten wrote a memo on an office computer in which he complained about not being properly rewarded for engaging in

successful political “black hat jobs” on Reardon’s behalf.

PDC staff repeatedly attempted to interview Hulten. Close to five months were eaten up while he didn’t respond to subpoenas.

They did receive an email from him in which he denied any violations and said that his campaign work was all done on his own time.

Hulten and Reardon did not immediately respond to requests for comment about Thursday’s charges.

Reardon resigned in 2013 after The Herald exposed Hulten’s misconduct during and after the 2011 election.

Throughout 2012, the junior aide targeted elected officials and county government employees with a barrage of public records requests and attacks on social media.

Hulten used the name “Edmond Thomas” and other pseudonyms while claiming to represent an organization with connections to France, called Rue Des Blancs-Manteaux LLC. Roe requested an outside police investigation to

determine whether Hulten broke any laws by harassing employees, and even the spouses, of anyone who had clashed with Reardon.

A King County Major Crimes detective was assigned to the case. An examination of computers and phones Hulten used for his county job linked him the activities described in the Herald stories and more.

What ended up getting Hulten in legal trouble was trying to cover his tracks.

When county tech workers showed up at his house to collect computers for the police investigation, he used a data-wiping program to scrub evidence from a county laptop.

He resigned from his county job after nude photos of him and pornography were found on one of laptops the county had given him to use for work.

As part of a deal with prosecutors, Hulten admitted in 2014 to wiping the contents of another laptop. He pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence during a criminal investigation, a gross misdemeanor.

He paid a $1,500 fine and spent five days on a Skagit

County work crew.

Precisely what penalties Reardon and Hulten might now face will become clearer when their cases reach the five-member citizen commission in early 2016. A hearing date has not been scheduled.

Commissioners also could decide that the totality of the actions by Reardon and Hulten were egregious enough to ask Attorney General Bob Ferguson to get involved.

Ferguson could pursue civil prosecution that might result in even greater penalties.

That’s the path commissioners took in September when they asked Ferguson to investigate initiative promoter Tim Eyman’s handling of campaign funds in 2012.

Another possibility is Reardon, Hulten or both will try to reach a settlement with commission staff prior to any public meeting. If that occurs, then the commission would consider accepting or rejecting such a deal, Anderson explained Scott North: 425-3393431; north@heraldnet.com.

understand what’s at stake. Negotiations take place behind closed doors. There are no public documents that describe the proposals.

The bargaining process became unusually public in August, when a majority of the County Council voted to reject a proposed

contract. Council members who voted down the offer accused Executive John Lovick of straying outside the parameters they had set.

County Council Chairman Dave Somers led the effort to reject the proposal.

At the time, he was running against Lovick for the executive’s job. He won the Nov. 3 election and is set to take

office next week.

The union supported Lovick during the campaign. In October, union leaders organized a rally outside the county administrative buildings demanding that the County Council throw their members a bone — a dig at Somers’ dog, Hewitt, whom he usually takes to work.

Council Vice Chairman

Terry Ryan voted with Somers to turn down the proposal in August.

“We’d like to get it worked out, but we have a budget we have to stay within,” Ryan said this week. “We can’t offer money we don’t have.”

Wednesday was the first chance for union members to vote on the upcoming contract.

Sticking points include medical benefits as well as pay. Dugovich said the union wants the county to reform the way it runs its self-insured medical fund.

They hope to make progress next year, after the holidays. Dugovich said the union is prepared to work with Somers, as they have with the four county

executives who preceded him.

“We’re like the furniture.

The elected guys come and go. We’re always here,” he said. “We’ve dealt with the past five executives, back to Willis Tucker. And we’ll deal with the next five.”

2016 Sonata Hybrid Limited: exhilarating, environmentally friendly ROAD TEST

by Larry Lark Herald Special Sections Writer

L

et’s get this out there right at the beginning: I’m not the biggest fan of hybrids.

But my recent stint behind the wheel of the 2016 Sonata Hybrid Limited is beginning to change my mind.

Now in its second generation, this Sonata version is not only responsive, it delivers an exhilarating drive while simultaneously providing an environmentally friendly city/highway combined 41 miles per gallon rating by the EPA. That’s a 10-percent increase!

Sonata Hybrid continues to visually differentiate itself from the rest of the lineup with purposely unique wheels and both front and rear fascia changes that improve aerodynamics.

At the heart of this hybrid beats a downsized, 2.0-liter, Nu GDI, four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that houses a more powerful 38kW electric motor and clutch where the torque converter would normally be found.

Sonata Hybrid’s Nu engine produces 154 horsepower and 140 lb. ft. of torque. The electric motor produces 38kW (51 horsepower) and 151 lb. ft. of

torque. Hybrid system net power is 193 horsepower at 6,000 rpm.

The lithium-polymer battery pack capacity is 1.62 kWh, a 13-percent improvement, and the battery pack now fits under the trunk floor, which allows for a flat trunk floor as well as available 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Yes, plenty of room for golf clubs and bags – another reason to like this hybrid.

Frankly, it felt like I was driving a normal, gaspowered engine. And add this somewhat amazing factoid: It is possible for Sonata Hybrid to operate solely on electric power at speeds up to 75 mph by decoupling the gasoline engine from the rest of the drivetrain.

The Sonata hybrid also delivers the convenient technology one would expect in a luxury vehicle.

2016 Ford Explorer Platinum:

Explore luxury

By SUE MEAD AutoWriters Associates

F

ord’s iconic Explorer has been the best-selling sport utility vehicle in America for 25 years, but the company is not resting on its laurels.

After refreshing the Explorer model line for 2016 with new sheet metal from the A-pillar forward, remodeling the back end and refreshing the interior, adding a new engine, as well as new standard and optional features and upgraded safety technology, Ford has released an all-new trim that marries luxury-level comfort and materials with sporty performance. And it’s Platinum.

The 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum blends the premium appointments of the Explorer Limited trim with the sports-athleticism of the Explorer Sport trim; it’s the most upscale, high-quality interior Ford has ever offered on any vehicle in North America.

Starting at $52,600, Ford says the very premium Platinum edition elevates the three-row, seven-seat SUV with further upgrades outside and in. Direct competitors are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Volkswagen Touareg,

among others.

Walking around the outside, you’ll notice the Explorer retains its familiar elongated shape, but is less boxy than previous versions.

Outside cosmetics include a new fascia, updated head- and taillights with standard daytime running lights and LEDs, and a new tailgate and exhaust ports. Platinum brings 20-inch machined wheels, three new colors, and premium silver-painted front and rear skid plates.

Also novel is its hands-free liftgate, activated by waving a foot under the bumper, and a dual-folding moonroof that spans the front and rear seats.

Behind the steering wheel is a refreshed control panel for all trims and a 10-inch gauge cluster that combines analog and digital views — a first for a Ford vehicle.

Standing out from the crowd, Platinum adds real ash wood and aluminum, and luxury features such as heated leather and wood steering wheel, and a leatherbedecked dashboard and trim accents.

Nirvana leather seats come standard, as

do the 50/50 PowerFold third-row seats. With second- and third-row seats folded, 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space accommodates your gear.

The high-end trim adds extra USB ports for rear passengers and the vehicle is also a WiFi hotspot. Notable is an industry-first premium sound package from Sony that bundles a 12-speaker, 500-watt system with Clear Phase and Live Acoustics. Also onboard is a new generation of SYNC MyFord Touch, Ford’s handsfree infotainment system that makes calls, reads texts, navigates, and plays music with Bluetooth, aux and USB connection, plus SiriusXM satellite radio.

Under the hood is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with EcoBoost mated with a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that produces 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. Its towing capacity is rated at 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and the SUV is EPA-rated at 16 miles per gallon city and 22 mpg highway.

We drove the 2016 Explorer Platinum

close to 400 miles on a Canadian adventure. The trek was designed to showcase the Explorer’s ride and drive prowess and to highlight its comfort and convenience features.

Light-years apart from the first Explorer we drove 25 years ago, we felt cosseted in the upscale cabin and appreciated the safety and security of the standard Intelligent 4WD, an all-wheel drive system that seamlessly adjusts to changing drive conditions 20 times faster than a blink of an eye, says Ford. It sends torque to the front or the rear depending on weather or topography, while a Terrain Management System let us dial in and select settings for different road surfaces or off-road driving.

Settings include Normal, Mud/ Ruts, Sand, or Grass/Gravel/Snow, with electronics that control throttle position, brakes, wheel speed and gearing to enhance traction. Another add-on is Hill Descent Control that maintains a set speed on steep and traction-compromised downhills.

Among our favorite features on the new Platinum are the self-washing cameras, the Nirvana leather seats with a variety of seat settings to get comfortable as both a driver and a passenger, and the Sony sound system.

T

he all-new, fourth-generation 2016 Lexus RX retains its essence, but gets a boost of refinement on all fronts. The vehicle that jump-started the midsize luxury crossover craze in the late 1990s is as charming, comfortable and compelling as ever.

And this should appeal to buyers looking for a sprightly and safe compact crossover SUV with unique style. After all, it’s been the best-selling vehicle in the Lexus stable, the top-selling model in its class and it’s updated with a new attitude of expressive tailoring, improved performance, and more advanced technologies.

The 2016 Lexus RX comes in a 350 model and a 450h hybrid.

Both are available in front- and all-wheel drive; each version has a souped-up F-Sport model with unique trims and boosted performance attributes, as well.

Competitors in this ever-growing crossover segment are the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Porsche Macan, Lincoln MKX, and Volvo XC60, and nearly a dozen others.

We drove the 2016 RX 350 AWD over a course of 125 miles in Portland, Ore., and were impressed by the quietness of the cabin, the great power-on-tap and good visibility. Lexus has slimmed down the pillars framing the windshield and the rear C-pillar giving the driver a wider

view in all directions, including rear blind spots.

The digital gauge cluster has the look of a classic analog gauge with the modern touch of features like changes in mood lighting, depending on the drive mode selected. Notable are its smoothshifting transmission, upgraded brakes and a comfortable ride that comes from refinements to the suspension system that increase handling prowess and rigidity. The RX’s steering has also been tweaked for precision.

Lexus designers fashioned the newest model to represent sophistication with an edge. Its highly sculpted form is cultured and urbane, with chiseled contours. Concave-yet-angular lower panels run the length of the doors, while a more traditional convex line runs the length of the body at door handle height; rocker panels are penned with an upward kick. The crossover is almost 5 inches longer, with lines that converge at the nose from two contours that split the hood.

The tailgate design is sharpened and a new optional handsfree liftgate allows easy opening of the back by waving a hand or an elbow near the Lexus badge.

Optional 20-inch wheels also stand out from the crowd with colored inserts in titanium, black, pearl white, or copper, while 18-inchers are standard; all are shod with Michelin Premier LTX tires with technology that extends the life of the tires.

Inside is a premium cabin

that has been reimagined with high-quality trims, including aluminum and laser-etched Gray Sapele wood, Matte Bamboo, Expresso Walnut and a collection of fine leathers. Interior styling cues from the exterior carry over with sculpted lines in the roomy, well-lit cabin with ambient lighting. Updates include a new instrument control panel and an ever-so-slight repositioning of steering wheel, front seat, and the rear floor that maximizes interior space; there is ample space for five with good elbow room and more cargo carrying ability.

Under the hood, both the 350 and 450h come with a redesigned and more fuelefficient 3.5-liter direct-injected V-6 engine mated to an eightspeed automatic transmission; the 350 produces 295 horsepower and 267 lb.-ft. of torque; the 450h hybrid powerplant produces 308 total system horsepower with instant torque on start thanks to its electric motors. It also boasts an intelligent, fuel-saving E-Four AWD system.

With six different drive settings — Normal, Eco, Sport, Sport S, Sport S+,and EV (450h only) — the drive experience changes as well as some cabin settings; Eco monitors the throttle response

2016 Lexus RX:

Compelling boosts of refinement and the interior climate control.

Sport S and Sport S+ are available with RX models that have Adaptable Variable Suspension (AVS) and are engineered to increasing the levels of its performance-oriented suspension. EV lets hybrid

drivers operate the RX purely off electric power and completely shuts off the gasoline-powered engine. Additionally, drivers can customize the driving experience of F-Sport models through the dashboard display screen.

‘He’s hot right now’ Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine was not shocked by Remi Laurencelle’s big night against Spokane, C4

FRIDAY, 12.18.2015

M’s pull off shocker, re-sign Iwakuma After the L.A. Dodgers back away from a deal with the free agent over health concerns, Seattle swoops in to ink the right-hander to a one-year deal with two vesting options.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Veteran righthander Hisashi Iwakuma isn’t going anywhere after all.

The Mariners reached a oneyear deal with Iwakuma on Thursday night just hours after

his three-year agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell apart over health concerns.

“We said from the start that Kuma was a priority for us,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said.

“Obviously, the developments from the last few days allowed us to get back in the game.

“It’s a credit to our ownership; to (chairman) Howard Lincoln, to (club president) Kevin Mather, to our entire ownership group that we were able to get aggressive and find a way to bring Kuma back to the Mariners.”

Hisashi Iwakuma, 34, Iwakuma became a free agent in November after rejecting a $15.8 million qualifying offer from the Mariners. He then

agreed Dec. 6 to a three-year contract with Dodgers for $45 million pending a physical.

Jiji Press reported early Thursday that Los Angeles officials began backing away from the deal after viewing results of the exam.

The report did not identify the nature of the medical concern.

The Dodgers initially sought to rework their contract with Iwakuma to include safeguards.

When those efforts failed, the Mariners re-entered the picture.

Dipoto announced the club’s

new deal with Iwakuma at a Mariners’ holiday party.

“We’re all thrilled,” Dipoto said.

“This is a big move for us. We feel like this really puts a finishing touch on what we think has been a very productive offseason.”

The Mariners, apparently, don’t share the Dodgers’ level of concern regarding Iwakuma’s health.

Their own examinations were updated at the end of the season prior to their efforts to retain him.

UNPARALLELED

Manziel hasn’t figured Seahawks quarterback Wilson is in the midst of a historic stretch out how to be franchise QB

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Thursday afternoon at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, Russell Wilson did the press conference equivalent of one of his patented quarterback scrambles.

Wilson was peppered with questions about the quality of his recent play, but the Seattle Seahawks quarterback evaded those questions the way he spins away from onrushing defensive ends.

But no matter how much Wilson tries to deflect the praise, the numbers are impossible to ignore. He’s is in the midst of one of the best stretches an NFL quarterback has ever produced.

Over the past four games Wilson’s numbers reached heights that would make INSIDE Boeing jealous. In those four games ✓ Seahawks Wilson completed coach Carroll an astounding regrets non- 75.4 percent of his challenge, C2 passes (89-for-118) for 1,171 yards. He threw 16 touchdown passes without throwing an interception.

They look like numbers compiled on an Xbox.

“I look at the tape and Russell’s doing everything right,” said Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin, who’s been the primary beneficiary of Wilson’s hot streak. “It’s fun to watch, it’s like a video game.”

Just how rare has Wilson’s past four games been? According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Wilson is the first quarterback to have four consecutive games in which he completed 70 percent of his passes, threw at least three touchdowns and had no interceptions.

He’s also just the third quarterback in the Super Bowl era to throw 16 touchdowns with no interceptions over a four-game span. The other two? Tom Brady (2007 with New England) and Peyton Manning (2013 with Denver), two guys already enshrined in the pantheon of the NFL’s greatest ever quarterbacks.

Wilson’s passer rating over those four games of 145.9 is, according to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, the highest four-game passer rating in NFL history. The next best is the 144.2 put together by Philadelphia’s Nick Foles in 2013.

But Wilson’s reaction to his historic numbers?

n the great tradition of outlaw quarterbacks, from Joe Namath to Ken Stabler to Jim McMahon to Brett Favre, Johnny Manziel’s arrival often can inspire the townies to stable the horses, lock up the womenfolk and hide the whiskey.

But not in Seattle. Here, he is not only welcomed, he could be a product endorser. At least, he could if Microsoft was at all alert.

On the sidelines Sunday during the Cleveland Browns’ 24-10 win over San Francisco, TV cameras caught Johnny Football sitting on the bench, impulsively pounding a Surface tablet against his forehead, angry at what its video replay revealed about a terrible pass that turned a potential touchdown drive into an interception.

The Vine went viral, another public Manziel moment immortalized in a video inventory already exceeding the memory capacity of most non-military software.

“It was pretty funny,” he told reporters on a teleconference this week. After confirming the tablet was undamaged, he said he received no endorsement pitch from the Redmond comART THIEL puter shop.

“I mean, their products are pretty durable, I do know that,” he said, laughing. Alas, it was another opportunity squandered for Microsoft to emerge from the backwater. At least Steve Ballmer can’t be blamed for this misplay.

But the moment also offered a bit of a metaphor for the popular narrative of Manziel as reckless maverick who tightropes above the abyss of career peril, weaving and wobbling, to the consternation of the Browns’ faithful: What will it take to pound some sense into this kid’s head?

Apart from the attempted insertion through the skull, Manziel, 23, does seem to be absorbing some football sense.

Ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. tiff with the Seahawks at the Clink, Manziel completed 21 of 31 passes for 270 yards, plus a touchdown to go with the pick, in the triumph over the 49ers that broke a sevengame losing streak.

It may have been his best game in a turbulent two years since the Heisman Trophy winner brought his rolling party from Texas A&M to the shores of Lake Erie.

“Outside of the hiccup that’s been talked about way too much over the bye week, his preparation has been very much on point,” Browns coach Mike Pettine told See THIEL, Page C2

* Wilson’s 145.9 passer rating over a four-game span is the best in NFL history.

Seattle reporters. The hiccup to which he referred was a video showing Manziel partying in a bar in Austin, which would be fairly innocent stuff for most.

But in showing Manziel with a bottle of champagne and acting in a manner consistent with consuming its contents, it disappointed the hell out of the Browns and their fans, because Manziel was in alcohol rehab from Jan. 28 to April 11.

Making it worse, Manziel lied about the video to Pettine and the Browns, claiming it was old, not during the November bye week. Pettine, who had just named Manziel his starter, demoted him to third string ahead of the Monday night game Nov. 30 against the Ravens.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll walks on the field during a game against the Ravens this past Sunday.

Hawks’ Carroll regrets not challenging Baldwin catch

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Pete Carroll was left kicking himself.

The Seattle Seahawks coach expressed one regret from last Sunday’s 35-6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, and it was not challenging Doug Baldwin’s spectacular end-zone catch that was ruled incomplete.

“I missed that one,” Carroll lamented. “I missed it. We looked back, we were sitting on the plane. Doug and I are sitting on the plane, we dig it out, stopping it. I think he’s in.

When I saw it at full speed I didn’t think he was in. I’m just kicking myself in the head.”

The play occurred in the second half with the Seahawks in scoring range. Quarterback Russell Wilson was pressured immediately upon the snap and heaved a pass before getting hit, seemingly to avoid a sack. However, the ball drifted toward the left corner of the end zone and Baldwin made a spectacular leaping catch. But it was ruled incomplete as the officials determined Baldwin did not get both feet down in bounds.

Carroll did not throw his red challenge flag onto the field to begin the video review process on this occasion, but it did lead to an interesting trip inside Carroll’s head with regards to how he decides to make a challenge.

“A lot of that has to do with feel at the time, and also the reaction of the player,” Carroll explained. “Sometimes they

can see a guy bobble the ball, so that gives us added incentive to go ahead and look deeper.

We try to stall when we need to, and guys are scrambling upstairs. I’m talking to both sides of the ball upstairs to see what they can see, maybe somebody saw something else, other than what the other guys saw. I just kind of weigh out that wave of information in the time that we have and make a decision.

“I used to not think that was a very good aspect of the game, but really it’s kind of fun because you’ve got to figure a lot of stuff out in a short amount of time.”

Carroll said quarterbacks coach Carl Smith, who watches the game from the press box rather than the sidelines, is his go-to guy among the coaching staff when it comes to challenges.

“He’s kind of using everybody’s information upstairs,” Carroll said. “I’ll click to the defense and see if they have an opinion, too. Sometimes they’re all hollering it, you can hear it through the headsets, anyways. It’s kind of a cool moment trying to figure that stuff out. Carl is really the best guy for me to go to, and we have the best background to make sense of stuff. He’s been really instrumental.”

One issue is that the coaches who have access to monitors are completely dependent upon the whims of the television broadcast, as those are the only replays available to

help make a decision. Last Sunday the Seahawks were hindered by Fox’s decision not to air repeated instant replays to see if Baldwin came down in bounds.

But Carroll listens to his players when they say a call should be challenged. Usually.

“I said something to him about it, but he was very adamant,” Baldwin said. “He thought that I was pushed out of bounds.”

And Carroll will listen again in the future.

“I trust what they’re telling me, that they think they saw it that way,” said Carroll, who added that while he’s been talked into many challenges, he’s never been talked out of challenging call. “We always see this stuff going our way. That’s not dishonest, that’s just rooting for your team. I’m they same way, that’s why I’m mad at myself for not doing one on Doug. I should have done it anyway.”

Extra points Tight end Jimmy Graham and receiver Ricardo Lockette were both back in the Seahawks’ locker room Thursday. Both Graham (knee) and Lockette (neck) are on injured reserve after undergoing seasonending surgeries. ... Strong safety Kam Chancellor (bruised tailbone) sat out his second straight practice, bringing into question whether he’ll play Sunday against Cleveland. If Chancellor can’t play, Kelcie McCray will start in his place. ...

Seattle signed cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste to its practice squad.

Jean-Baptiste’s addition brings Seattle’s practice squad to its full complement of 10 players.

Rams earn emotional 31-23 win over Bucs Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams saved some of their best for last.

Tavon Austin scored twice, Todd Gurley topped 1,000 yards rushing and the Rams beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 on Thursday night in what could be the franchise’s final game in St. Louis.

The 31st-ranked offense had an inspired effort in front of

You may remember the game as one of the most notorious losses in the Browns’ lamentable history: The Ravens blocked a potential game-winning field goal as time expired, then returned the ball for a touchdown in a 33-27 win. The presumption was that had Manziel played, the Browns, forced to start backup Josh McCown, would have not needed the field goal.

Pettine was not as gentle then about Manziel as he was this week.

“When you have a great opportunity in front of you, it is important that you demonstrate that you can handle the responsibility that comes with it,” Pettine said Nov. 26. “I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the trust and the accountability piece. This is where we had an obvious shortcoming.”

The latest in a long string of controversies dating back

another half-filled but spirited Edward Jones Dome crowd, rolling to a 21-3 halftime lead behind Case Keenum’s two touchdown passes.

Fans chanted “Keep Our Rams! Keep Our Rams!” and carried signs, one of them reading “We Don’t Need Kroenke, We Just Want our Rams.”

Owner Stan Kroenke, who wants to move the Rams (6-8) to Los Angeles, attended the finale but kept a low profile.

to high school — a glimpse at this remarkable Manziel family timeline by the San Antonio Express-News shows how he may have come by his bodacious behavior — seems to have at least caused him to hit the pause button. Momentarily, anyway.

“I hope I’m not disrespecting the game,” he said. “I have made it hard on myself and embarrassed myself, and probably the NFL in the process with some of the things that I’ve done over the past couple years, sure.

“The only thing I can do now is make sure that I’m not making those mistakes, and hold myself to a higher standard. ... I’m trying to play the game the right way, and every Sunday that I’ve been out there I’ve been having a lot of fun, I do know that.”

Manziel sounds as if he hasn’t quite solved the risk-reward of the celebrity high life and the responsibilities of being a franchise quarterback.

Up 31-13, the Rams became conservative and Jameis Winston took advantage with two touchdown passes in a big fourth quarter. He had just 125 yards passing the first three quarters, but finished with a career-best 363, his first 300yard effort, for Tampa Bay (6-8).

Gurley needed 25 yards to become the first Rams rookie to rush for 1,000 yards since Jerome Bettis and didn’t get it by much, gaining 48 yards on 21 carries.

“At times, I’m sure it’s a little bit overblown,” he said. “At times, I’ve done it to myself and made it that way going back to some of the college days. But I guess that’s just part of playing a position.

“Fair or not, it’s the world that I live in, and kind of have to embrace it. Now, it’s how do I live in that world and how do I make the best of my situation I am in.”

Manziel is hardly the first pro football player to confuse one kind of play with another kind of play. But for Seahawks fans used to the ultra-vanilla flavoring of Russell Wilson, Manziel makes Wilson’s Recovery Water nanobubbles seem cute.

Then again, when Wilson throws 16 touchdowns and no interceptions over four games, he can pour champagne over his Surface tablet, smack it off Pete Carroll’s head, and get a commercial out of it.

Art Thiel is co-founder of sportspressnw.com.

“It’s not just me, it’s everybody,” a sidestepping Wilson said. “Like I said, it’s the offensive line, they’re doing a tremendous job.

It’s the receivers, they’re making crazy plays all over the field. And then the tight ends, too, and the running backs. Those guys make it easier on me, and it’s just a lot of fun to play with them. We’re doing a really good job, we’re in sync right now.”

Indeed, Seattle’s offense has made leaps and bounds from where it was earlier in the season, and that shows up in the difference between Wilson’s numbers in Seattle’s first nine games compared to the past four. In his first nine outings Wilson was 175-for-266 for 2,118 yards. His completion percentage was good (65.8 percent), but still nearly 10 percent lower than the past four games. His yards per attempt were a solid 8.0, but almost two full yards less than the 9.9 from the past four. His touchdown-to-interception ratio was a pedestrian 10-7.

Add it up and Wilson’s passer rating through nine games was 91.7, which would currently rank 18th in the league among qualifiers, trailing a who’s who of mediocre quarterbacks that includes the likes of Cleveland’s Josh McCown, Washington’s Kirk Cousins and Houston’s Brian Hoyer. But the recent stretch has improved Wilson’s season QB rating to a leagueleading 110.0, which would be the 14th-best mark in league history.

What does Wilson think of the historic nature of his numbers?

“The exciting part is simply that we’re winning the games,” a ducking-and-weaving Wilson said. “All the stats and all that, that’s fun and exciting, obviously everybody wants to play at a high level. But we come here to win. We come here to work to win football games. We enjoy winning.”

Wilson isn’t the only one spreading the credit for his gaudy numbers.

“This is what we hoped for and expected early in the year, where we thought we could be as an offense,” Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. “I just think that we’re really executing at a high level right now. It starts up front, but it’s probably just really cliche to say, but they are really functioning as one group. Those 11 guys are working really well.

There’s no one guy that’s doing more than the other. They’re all playing at a really high level, they’re all doing their job, doing their job very well. You can see the effect that is having right now.”

Wilson and Bevell have a point.

Wilson wouldn’t be here if not for the improvement in pass protection. He was sacked a league-high 31 times through Seattle’s first seven games, but was sacked just eight times the past six games as the offensive line picked up its game. A tweak in the offensive scheme, with Seattle running more plays designed for Wilson to get rid of the ball quickly, has also helped cut the sack totals down.

Seattle’s receivers have also played their part, and Baldwin in particular. Baldwin has been the league’s most dangerous receiver the past three weeks, catching eight touchdowns. Wilson is 23-for-28 for 381 yards and eight TDs when targeting Baldwin the past four weeks, which is a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

But it all starts with the quarterback, and Wilson has elevated his game to historic levels.

“I don’t want to minimize him, he’s throwing the ball really well,” Bevell said. “He’s seeing things really well, he’s pulling the trigger really well. He’s getting the ball out very quickly.

“Russell’s a prideful guy as well,” Bevell continued. “He’s a very competitive player and it’s important to him. He works on his craft each and every day, just like all those guys. He can improve, and he has.”

That improvement hasn’t just led to historic numbers.

It’s helped turn Seattle’s season around, and Wilson is a big reason why the Seahawks are now the team no one wants to face in the playoffs.

Armstead’s layup gives Terrace thrilling victory

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The hero for Mountlake Terrace in Thursday’s 74-72 Wesco 3A South win over Edmonds-Woodway has a familiar name to Hawks fans, but appears on the way to making a name for himself.

Sophomore Khyree Armstead, the younger brother of former Hawks star Marquis Armstead who graduated in 2013, delivered the gamewinning layup with four seconds remaining to keep the Hawks undefeated in league play and hand the Warriors their first league loss of the season.

“We had a play set up to run and I wish I could say it was the play,” Mountlake Terrace head coach Nalin Sood said. “We had it set up and guys got to the right spots and Khyree got a really good read on it and I think he saw a lane.

Players make plays. Kids

compete and players make plays. There’s nine guys (in the locker room) that competed their tails off and Khyree made a nice play at the end to get to the basket and finish. Credit goes to him.”

The Mountlake Terrace players were able to celebrate seconds after Armstead’s shot when Edmonds-Woodway senior Jordan Rice missed a half-court heave at the buzzer that would have won the game.

“It’s a 3A South win and that’s a good team,” Armstead said. “We played real good and that was a big win for us.”

Armstead’s bucket decided what was a backand-forth battle for the entire 32 minutes. The Warriors led at the end of the first and third quarters and the Hawks led at the end of the second and fourth quarters. There were numerous lead changes in between.

After falling behind 10-2 in the first quarter, the Hawks bounced back

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M has lost its top two quarterbacks after Kyler Murray left the team and was granted a release to transfer Thursday.

The highly touted freshman followed Kyle Allen in leaving the team. Allen was granted his release last Thursday.

“To all my family, friends and fans out there, I thank you for your love and continued support,” Murray said on Twitter.

“I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and relationships I’ve made at Texas A&M. I wish nothing but the best to all my guys in that locker room.”

The move leaves the Aggies in a difficult predicament for the Music City Bowl against Louisville on Dec. 30. Texas A&M has just one scholarship quarterback on its roster in Jake Hubenak, a junior college transfer from Blinn College who played sparingly this season.

Murray missed practice Wednesday and coach Kevin Sumlin said at the time that the quarterback was “going through some things and didn’t feel well.”

Sumlin addressed Allen’s departure for the first time on Wednesday, but did not specifically address the then-rumors that Murray also wanted to leave.

“He and his family got together and made a decision they thought was best for them,” Sumlin said in a story in the Houston Chronicle. “Obviously we didn’t agree with it. But this program is not about one person or one coach.”

It’s unclear what caused the pair to leave the team, but the moves raise questions about whether there are problems between the coaching staff and the players.

Top receiver Christian Kirk took to Twitter to voice his support for the school on Thursday.

“I came to A&M because I love this

town and University simple as that.

This teams (sic) been through adversity before, we’ll be (all right) (hashtag) GigEm,” Kirk tweeted.

Hubenak also was active on Twitter on Thursday evening, retweeting several tweets of support and tweeting: “S/O to the 12th man for all the love and support!

Now let’s go.”

Allen, who is a sophomore, won the job in camp and started the first seven games for A&M before struggling with interceptions, including throwing three that were each returned for touchdowns in a loss to Alabama, and was benched after a defeat at Mississippi. Murray took over after that, starting the next three games and leading the Aggies to two wins in that span. But he also had problems with interceptions and Allen got his job back for Texas A&M’s final two games.

Murray came to A&M after going 43-0 in leading his high school in Allen, Texas, to three state titles. Murray is the son of Kevin Murray, who played quarterback for the Aggies from 1983-86 and was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999. The younger Murray threw for 14,500 yards and scored 186 touchdowns in his three championship seasons in high school. The two-sport star was expected to play baseball for the Aggies this spring.

Allen threw for 2,210 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Murray had 686 yards passing with five touchdowns and seven interceptions and was second on the team with 335 yards rushing.

Hubenak appeared in five games for the Aggies this season, but threw for just 92 yards and one touchdown. He threw for 4,052 yards with 47 touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight games for Blinn last season in his only season there.

“If you give up 70 points you’re going to lose,” Edmonds-Woodway head coach Robert Brown said.

“If you go back and look at it, the only loss we had before was to Cascade and (the Bruins) scored 75. We’re built around defense. That’s what we do and if we don’t do it well we’re not going to be very good.”

Tips’ coach not surprised by Laurencelle’s monstrous night

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Perhaps at the midget and bantam levels Remi Laurencelle had performances like the one he turned in Wednesday, but he’s not entirely sure.

What he is sure of, however, is that Wednesday’s four-goal, two-assist outburst in the Everett Silvertips’ 7-4 win at Spokane was the top performance of his WHL career.

“It started off kind of slow — obviously that first goal and then when they scored right afterward — and things kind of turned from there,” Laurencelle said. “I think opportunitywise I just kind of picked right moments to work hard. You kind of read situations and know when you might have a chance and when you might not.”

The four goals tied the club record last achieved

by Tyler Maxwell in the 2010-11 season. Originally credited with only one assist, the league awarded Laurencelle a second assist Thursday. The sixpoint night was one shy of the club record.

His linemates Carson Stadnyk and Dawson Leedahl added two goals and three assists as the Tips’ first line tallied 11 points in the victory that moved Everett into a tie for the lead in the U.S. Division.

“He’s hot right now,” Stadnyk said. “Whenever he’s out there good things happen. To be playing on the line with him is a lot of fun. We’re doing good right now as a line.”

Laurencelle leads the Tips in goals (19) and

TONIGHT’S GAME

points (35). All but five of those points have come in Everett’s last 20 games.

Head coach Kevin Constantine said the staff was not entirely surprised to see Laurencelle’s recent performance.

“He does things that make a big night possible,” Constantine said.

“To make big nights possible you’ve got to be passionate on a nightly basis, you’ve got to work on a nightly basis. You’ve got to do the hard parts of the game on a nightly basis.”

Laurencelle had a ninegame point streak earlier this season, and he’s currently on a four-game streak that includes 12 total points.

On Wednesday Laurencelle scored what proved the game-winner with 5:02 to go. He later added an empty-net goal in the final minute.

“Opportunities come doing the right things,” Laurencelle said. “The thing I’ve been focusing on this year is transitioning to offense from a defensive game. Obviously I like playing defense and not getting scored on for sure.

But it’s when you react quickly enough and you notice the puck is going up ice and you kind of get back and get up the ice and try to make a play out of something.”

The Silvertips

(18-10-0-2, 38 points) have two games remaining before they get a week off for Christmas.

The contests are a homeand-home series with Vancouver as Everett travels north Friday night and the Giants come south on Saturday.

The main objective for the Tips is focusing on the next two games rather than looking ahead to the break.

“To be any good in this business you have to be 100 percent engaged mentally in what you’re doing,” Constantine said. “We would run a great risk and danger if our minds start wandering forward to the break. That would not lead to good success in these last two games.”

Everett has won three straight. The Tips will take on Vancouver squad that has won two in a row despite an 11-19-2-2 overall record.

Chase Lang (10 goals, 19 assists), Ty Ronning (19 goals, eight assists), Trevor Cox (six goals, 19 assists) and Carter Popoff (nine goals, 13 assists) are the Giants’ top offensive performers. Projected NHL first-round pick Tyler Benson has seven goals and 15 assists, while Alec Baer has 10 goals and 11 assists.

Six different goaltenders have played for Vancouver. Ryan Kubic (6-9-1-0, 3.12 goals-against average, .898 save percentage) has appeared in 19 contests.

Saturday’s game at Xfinity Arena is Everett’s Teddy Bear Toss as the event returns for the first time in more than a decade.

Cleveland adds Davis to outfield Associated Press CLEVELAND — Rajai Davis can play all three outfield positions, bat almost anywhere in the lineup and steal a base when needed.

Just what the Indians were looking for.

With star left fielder Michael Brantley expected to miss the start of next season following shoulder surgery, the Indians and Davis agreed to a one-year contract on Thursday.

“He fits our team very well,” general manager Chris Antonetti said. “He can fill a variety of roles.

He’s been a part-time player, he’s been a semiregular player and he’s been a regular player, depending on what a team needs. We think he’ll really fit well on our team and help provide some balance with some of our left-handed hitting outfielders.”

The 35-year-old, who

Mariners From Page C1

The value of Iwakuma’s new deal was not immediately revealed, but it is likely to be less than the Mariners’ previous offer, which was two guaranteed years with a vesting option that could have totaled about $45 million.

When Iwakuma informed the Mariners of his decision to sign with the Dodgers, Dipoto pivoted quickly to find a replacement by swinging a trade the next day, Dec. 7, to obtain left-hander Wade Miley from Boston.

The Mariners control Miley, 29, for the next two years at $15.084 million with a club option for 2018 at $12 million with a

spent the past two seasons with Detroit, will be counted on to give the Indians outfield depth and added speed. He’ll also hold things down in left field while Brantley works his way back.

Ruggiano signs with Texas Free-agent outfielder Justin Ruggiano finally gets to play for the team he grew up rooting for while giving the Texas Rangers a needed righthanded bat.

Ruggiano agreed Thursday to a $1.65 million, one-year contract with the AL West champions.

“It’s kind of been a dream of mine my whole life, and now it’s kind of coming to fruition,” said Ruggiano, who lives in the Dallas suburb of Rockwall and went to Texas A&M. “I’m just beyond excited to play for this organization. ... To be highly competitive here for the home team is a dream come true.”

Nava to Angels ANAHEIM, Calif. — Outfielder Daniel Nava and the Los Angeles Angels have

$500,000 buyout.

Iwakuma, 34, missed 11 weeks last season because of a strained back muscle but returned in early July and finished 9-5 with a 3.54 ERA in 20 starts. He pitched a no-hitter on Aug. 12 in a 3-0 victory over Baltimore.

The Mariners signed Iwakuma as a free agent on Jan. 5, 2012 after he spent 11 seasons in Japan’s Pacific League with Kintetsu and Rakuten. He is 47-25 with a 3.17 ERA in four big-league seasons.

Minor signings The Mariners confirmed five minor-league signings Thursday that include invitations to big-league camp, including two — infielder Ed Lucas and outfielder Mike Baxter — that had previously been reported.

The other three signings are pitchers: lefty Brad Mills and right-handers Casey Coleman

agreed to a one-year contract for a $1,375,000 salary.

Nava’s deal, announced Wednesday, is not guaranteed, meaning he can be released before opening day for only a fraction of the full salary. His deal includes the chance to earn $500,000 in performance bonuses.

Jones joins Atlanta brass ATLANTA — Chipper Jones is returning to the Atlanta Braves in a front office position he describes as “dipping my toe back into the water.”

The Braves say Jones, an eight-time All-Star, has been hired as a special assistant to baseball operations. Jones will report to John Hart, the president of baseball operations, and general manager John Coppolella.

Jones retired as a player following the 2012 season.

He says he spent the last few years “decompressing” and has reached the “undeniable conclusion” he wants to return to the game. He says he is excited to be part of the team’s rebuilding process after spending his entire big league career with the Braves.

and Blake Parker. All five are a good bet to open next season at Triple-A Tacoma.

Mills, 30, spent most of last season at Triple-A Nashville in the Oakland system, where he was 5-12 with a 4.52 ERA in 24 starts. He spent most of the last seven years shuttling between the majors and Triple-A. Coleman, 28, made 10 relief appearances last season at Kansas City, and allowed seven earned runs in 10 innings.

He was 5-4 with a 4.92 ERA in 33 relief outings at Triple-A Omaha.

Parker, 30, made only three appearances last season at Triple-A Iowa in the Chicago Cubs’ system before undergoing elbow surgery. He is 2-3 with a 3.68 ERA in 74 bigleague outings from 2012-14 with the Cubs.

Lucas, 33, batted .316 in 107 games at Triple-A Round Rock in the Texas system. Baxter, 31, batted .246 in 34 games for the Cubs and .279 with a .390 on-base percentage in 74 games at Iowa.

Argentina to play Copa America match in Seattle Messi, two-time World Cup champions scheduled for group game at CenturyLink

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

Lionel Messi and two-time world champion Argentina will play at CenturyLink Field in June as part of 2016 Copa America Centenario.

Argentina will appear in the second of two groupstage matches scheduled for Seattle, June 4 and 14.

A June 16 quarterfinal match also was scheduled to be played at CenturyLink.

The June 4 match will pair the third- and fourseeded teams from Group B, while the June 14 match sends Argentina against the fourth seed from Group D. The quarterfinal will pair the winner of Group A — which includes the USA — against the runner-up for Group B, which includes Brazil.

Sixteen nations will participate: 10 from South America and six from CONCACAF, which

includes North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

The top seeds are Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the USA, as the host nation.

The remaining 12 teams will be sorted early next year by public draw.

Argentina is the highest-ranked FIFA nation in the Americas and 2014 World Cup runner-up to Germany in Brazil.

Messi, who plays for Spanish club Barcelona,

ranks among the greatest players in the history of the sport.

Copa America Centenario honors 100 years of the Copa America tournament, which determines the South American champion.

It is being held off of its home continent for the first time.

Seattle is one of 10 North American sites selected for this tournament, which opens June 3 and concludes June 26 at

MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

“It’s an honor to welcome a prestigious tournament like the Copa America Centenario to Seattle next summer,” Seattle Sounders FC owner Adrian Hanauer said in a release. “… Hosting an international power like Argentina and a potential quarterfinal match featuring the United States (adds to the) soccer history of this city.”

MILITARY UPDATE | Tom Philpott

Will Tricare reforms improve access, raise fees or both?

R

etired Navy Lt. Cmdr.

Rodric G. Hammond of Pensacola, Florida, said he was mystified when a blueribbon commission on military compensation declared last February that the triple-option Tricare benefit was “broken.”

It proposed replacing Tricare for active duty families and retirees under age 65 with a menu of commercial insurance plans, like that offered to federal civilians, except that active duty families would get a new health allowance to cover their premiums at least for mid-price-range plans.

The whole idea left Hammond, 77, and retiree friends asking why.

“I have been using Tricare Prime for my wife since 1993. I used it personally from that year until I turned 65, and have never had a problem with any aspect of the program,” he said. “And Tricare for Life,” the insurance supplement for Medicare-eligible retirees, “is even better. These pols in Washington and in the Department of Defense need to leave it alone.”

Congress perhaps heard many such complaints from satisfied beneficiaries because a consensus is building on Capitol Hill that Tricare need not be scrapped but merely improved, and better integrated with military hospitals and clinics, which are seen as underused and inefficient.

As the Senate and House

armed services committees have solicited feedback from health care experts and beneficiary groups, their reform plans for next year appear to be moving away from the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission recommendations.

But there also has been a difference in tone if not goals between the committee chairmen, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Max Thornberry, R-Texas. McCain wants to see health costs tightened, which could mean higher beneficiary co-pays as defense leaders have urged for years.

“If we do nothing,” McCain said at a hearing last week, “the Congressional Budget Office projects that defense health care costs will devour about 11 percent of the defense budget in 2028. This is staggering. Every dollar that the Department of Defense spends on health care is a dollar that can’t be spent on training and equipping our war fighters.”

McCain did add that the “primary focus of our reform efforts must be to create a better health care system for service members, military families and retirees by improving access to care, quality of care and health outcomes.”

Those were not, however, the first concerns he raised.

By contrast Thornberry and Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., an Army

Reserve physician who chairs the military personnel subcommittee, insist their top reform goal will not be to dampen Tricare costs or to raise user fees.

“I want to be clear this process is not being driven by budgetary concerns,” Heck told beneficiary advocates called to testify on Tricare reform last Thursday. “We’re using the same format that we used in the successful review of the military retirement changes, which [was] not driven by budget but by what will produce the best possible benefit to be able to recruit and retain the best and brightest in our all-volunteer force.”

Retired Vice Adm. Norbert Ryan, stepping down as president of Military Officers Association of America after 13 years, described Tricare strengths and weaknesses from a recent survey of more than 30,000 MOAA members.

More than half of respondents were 65 or older, using Tricare for Life and well satisfied with the benefit commissioners would leave unchanged.

But 86 percent of those using Tricare Standard, the fee-forservice option, also were satisfied and 81 percent of enrollees in Tricare Prime, the managed networks. “We think it’s important to preserve what’s working, and fix what’s not,” Ryan said.

The great inefficiency of military health care, Ryan argued, is

allowing Army, Navy and Air Force to continue to run separate medical services, allowing for “no single budget or oversight authority.”

Other “serious shortcomings,” he said, are found in Tricare Prime appointments and referral services, particularly as managed by base hospitals and clinics, and patient care data showing military doctors see “far fewer patients per week than civilian providers.”

Ryan also criticized “a serious disconnect between rhetoric and reality on DoD healthcare costs.

Every year, Defense leaders offer dire budget projections of health costs they say are spiraling out of control. But recent history shows those projections have been consistently wrong.”

He said defense budgets over the last five years show medical program costs have been flat or even have fallen, and that Tricare for Life costs are down 40 percent from their peak.

Joyce Wessel Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association, testified that “many of our families remain satisfied with Tricare” based on the care they receive and the low cost.

“Our concern…centers on what could happen to their care if financial pressures take a greater toll on military hospitals or the Tricare benefit,” she said. Also, many families, particularly those enrolled in Prime at base hospitals and clinics, report difficulty

in obtaining timely appointments, bureaucratic hassles to obtain referrals and difficulties in navigating the system, especially when moving from one military community to another.

There are “models of timely access and quality improvement in pockets of the direct care system,” she said. “But there doesn’t seem to be a single entity with the power to drive implementation of those improvements across the system and hold those in need of improvement accountable.”

She called on Congress to enforce access, care quality and customer service standards across the entire health care system. And before base facilities are pressured to improve efficiency by recapturing patients, she said, “military hospitals should be required to certify they are meeting appointment access standards for current patients.”

This month former DoD Comptroller Robert Hale testified before McCain’s committee in favor of keeping Tricare, acknowledging that cost growth has slowed. But he said more action is needed because “co-pays are zero, or nearly so, which leads to overuse of care…Also despite some overuse of care there’s substantial underutilization of military health care facilities.”

MILITARY UPDATE | Tom Philpott

Will Tricare reforms improve access, raise fees or both?

R

etired Navy Lt. Cmdr.

Rodric G. Hammond of Pensacola, Florida, said he was mystified when a blueribbon commission on military compensation declared last February that the triple-option Tricare benefit was “broken.”

It proposed replacing Tricare for active duty families and retirees under age 65 with a menu of commercial insurance plans, like that offered to federal civilians, except that active duty families would get a new health allowance to cover their premiums at least for mid-price-range plans.

The whole idea left Hammond, 77, and retiree friends asking why.

“I have been using Tricare Prime for my wife since 1993. I used it personally from that year until I turned 65, and have never had a problem with any aspect of the program,” he said. “And Tricare for Life,” the insurance supplement for Medicare-eligible retirees, “is even better. These pols in Washington and in the Department of Defense need to leave it alone.”

Congress perhaps heard many such complaints from satisfied beneficiaries because a consensus is building on Capitol Hill that Tricare need not be scrapped but merely improved, and better integrated with military hospitals and clinics, which are seen as underused and inefficient.

As the Senate and House

armed services committees have solicited feedback from health care experts and beneficiary groups, their reform plans for next year appear to be moving away from the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission recommendations.

But there also has been a difference in tone if not goals between the committee chairmen, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Max Thornberry, R-Texas. McCain wants to see health costs tightened, which could mean higher beneficiary co-pays as defense leaders have urged for years.

“If we do nothing,” McCain said at a hearing last week, “the Congressional Budget Office projects that defense health care costs will devour about 11 percent of the defense budget in 2028. This is staggering. Every dollar that the Department of Defense spends on health care is a dollar that can’t be spent on training and equipping our war fighters.”

McCain did add that the “primary focus of our reform efforts must be to create a better health care system for service members, military families and retirees by improving access to care, quality of care and health outcomes.”

Those were not, however, the first concerns he raised.

By contrast Thornberry and Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., an Army

Reserve physician who chairs the military personnel subcommittee, insist their top reform goal will not be to dampen Tricare costs or to raise user fees.

“I want to be clear this process is not being driven by budgetary concerns,” Heck told beneficiary advocates called to testify on Tricare reform last Thursday. “We’re using the same format that we used in the successful review of the military retirement changes, which [was] not driven by budget but by what will produce the best possible benefit to be able to recruit and retain the best and brightest in our all-volunteer force.”

Retired Vice Adm. Norbert Ryan, stepping down as president of Military Officers Association of America after 13 years, described Tricare strengths and weaknesses from a recent survey of more than 30,000 MOAA members.

More than half of respondents were 65 or older, using Tricare for Life and well satisfied with the benefit commissioners would leave unchanged.

But 86 percent of those using Tricare Standard, the fee-forservice option, also were satisfied and 81 percent of enrollees in Tricare Prime, the managed networks. “We think it’s important to preserve what’s working, and fix what’s not,” Ryan said.

The great inefficiency of military health care, Ryan argued, is

allowing Army, Navy and Air Force to continue to run separate medical services, allowing for “no single budget or oversight authority.”

Other “serious shortcomings,” he said, are found in Tricare Prime appointments and referral services, particularly as managed by base hospitals and clinics, and patient care data showing military doctors see “far fewer patients per week than civilian providers.”

Ryan also criticized “a serious disconnect between rhetoric and reality on DoD healthcare costs.

Every year, Defense leaders offer dire budget projections of health costs they say are spiraling out of control. But recent history shows those projections have been consistently wrong.”

He said defense budgets over the last five years show medical program costs have been flat or even have fallen, and that Tricare for Life costs are down 40 percent from their peak.

Joyce Wessel Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association, testified that “many of our families remain satisfied with Tricare” based on the care they receive and the low cost.

“Our concern…centers on what could happen to their care if financial pressures take a greater toll on military hospitals or the Tricare benefit,” she said. Also, many families, particularly those enrolled in Prime at base hospitals and clinics, report difficulty

in obtaining timely appointments, bureaucratic hassles to obtain referrals and difficulties in navigating the system, especially when moving from one military community to another.

There are “models of timely access and quality improvement in pockets of the direct care system,” she said. “But there doesn’t seem to be a single entity with the power to drive implementation of those improvements across the system and hold those in need of improvement accountable.”

She called on Congress to enforce access, care quality and customer service standards across the entire health care system. And before base facilities are pressured to improve efficiency by recapturing patients, she said, “military hospitals should be required to certify they are meeting appointment access standards for current patients.”

This month former DoD Comptroller Robert Hale testified before McCain’s committee in favor of keeping Tricare, acknowledging that cost growth has slowed. But he said more action is needed because “co-pays are zero, or nearly so, which leads to overuse of care…Also despite some overuse of care there’s substantial underutilization of military health care facilities.”

No housekeeping; where’s the discount?

DAILY CROSSWORD

Question: I recently booked a room at the Cassa Hotel 45th Street using Expedia. I was confirmed for a Petite Single room and an offer to “Forgo Housekeeping & Save 10%.”

My wife and I stayed in the hotel, and we skipped housekeeping. When we went to check out, our bill did not credit us with the 10 percent savings for forgoing housekeeping.

A hotel representative told us that if we wanted housekeeping, it would have cost us an additional 10 percent over the promised rate of $269 per night, and Cassa Hotel refused to give us a refund.

I wrote both the hotel and Expedia asking for the refund they had promised, but received no response from either company.

I think this is a fraudulent deception to induce customers to book a room, and they should either fulfill their promise or be enjoined from promising this discount.

— David Weitzman, Berkeley, California Answer: I read the description from Expedia’s site the same way you do: If you forgo cleaning services during your stay, the Cassa Hotel will knock 10 percent off your bill.

When you contacted me with

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

screenshots of the offer, I tried to find the offer on Expedia, and I couldn’t. I also tried to find Cassa’s disclosure of its housekeeping discount on its site, but none was available. That leads me to believe that this may have been either a special offer through an online travel agency or something done off the books for certain guests.

Like most travel companies, hotels interpret offers in a way that’s favorable to them. So I wasn’t surprised that the property would say that the quoted rate had already factored in the housekeeping discount, and that it would charge 10 percent more if you asked for clean towels and linens.

That’s actually a clever variety of the hotel resort fee, those mandatory daily charges that cover everything that should be included in the cost of your room.

SUPER QUIZ Score 1 point for each correct answer on the Freshman Level, 2 points on the Graduate Level and 3 points on the Ph.D. Level.

Subject: SCIENCE FRESHMAN LEVEL 1. Term for the process of treating the skin of animals to produce leather.

2. Term for animals that consume both plants and animals for food.

3. What issues forth from a hydrothermal vent?

GRADUATE LEVEL 4. What are often classified as either pinnate or palmate?

5. Rayleigh scattering causes this coloration.

6. The interior of Earth is separated into these three chemically distinct parts.

PH.D. LEVEL 7. For what does WD-40

CLASSIC PEANUTS

Don’t even get me started on those.

The misunderstanding was between you and Expedia, though.

If Expedia prominently displayed the 10 percent discount offer, it should have promptly replied to your request for a refund. It appears as though you went through all the right channels, but you could have tried an appeal to someone higher up at Expedia. I list the names, numbers and emails of Expedia’s executives on my consumer-advocacy website: http://elliott.org/ company-contacts/expedia.

Looking back, this might have been avoided if you’d asked the hotel for the specifics of its discount before you booked. A representative should have explained that the rate already had the discount factored in, and then you might have booked a different hotel.

I contacted Expedia on your behalf. It says it refunded 10 percent of your hotel bill, or $108.

Marriage smoothed out; money part isn’t Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married three years. It has been rocky since year two. She’s a great mother to our kids, especially the one who is medically challenged. We have broken up twice, but are now back together.

However, because of my job, we live in different states.

Bottom line: I’m no longer sure this is the right relationship for me.

She goes to school full time while I work a ton of overtime to support two households. She has said she would rather me work and not see me so that everything gets paid.

— Unhappily Married In Baltimore Dear Unhappily: You and your wife both appear to be carrying a heavy load. For your children, it would be nice if your marriage could be resuscitated. However, not every marriage can be — and the arrangement you have now is clearly not working for you.

If your wife feels that she would rather not see you so that everything gets paid, then I think she has made her feelings clear. The marriage no longer exists.

Dear Abby: Why does it feel awkward for me to call my husband by his first name? When I say his name from another room to get his attention, it only feels natural for me to call him “Babe.” When I’m talking about him to someone else, I use his name, but it still makes me cringe. It’s a perfectly normal, common name, so I don’t know why it makes me so uncomfortable. And this doesn’t just apply to my husband. I was in a six-year relationship with my high school sweetheart and had the same problem. Why can I only call my significant others “Babe” RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: My cousin and I have season tickets for the Broadway series at our local theater. Our problem is two women who sit next to us in the box.

After intermission, when the second act starts, they talk loudly to each other as long as 10 minutes into the show. I want to say something, but I don’t want to cause any negativity or bad feelings because we will see them at each show. — Audience member Dear Member: Here’s how: When the women continue their conversation after the curtain rises, you say to the one nearest you, “Please be quiet.

We can’t hear the performance.” That’s not rude; it’s being assertive. If they persist after that, complain to the management and ask that, if possible, in the future you be seated apart from the magpies.

Today is Friday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2015.

There are 13 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Dec. 18, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson, whose first wife, Ellen, had died the year before, married Edith Bolling Galt, a widow, at her Washington home.

On this date: In 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1863, in a speech to the Prussian Parliament, Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck declared, “Politics is not an exact science.”

In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward.

In 1892, Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” publicly premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1912, fossil collector Charles Dawson reported to the Geological Society of London his discovery of supposed early human remains at a gravel pit in Piltdown. (More than four decades later, Piltdown Man was exposed as a hoax.)

In 1940, Adolf Hitler ordered secret preparations for Nazi Germany to invade the Soviet Union.

(Operation Barbarossa was launched in June 1941.)

In 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the government’s wartime evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast while at the same time unanimously agreeing that “concededly loyal” Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained.

In 1958, the world’s first communications satellite, SCORE (Signal Communication by Orbiting Relay Equipment), nicknamed “Chatterbox,” was launched by the United States aboard an Atlas rocket.

In 1969, Britain’s House of Lords joined the House of Commons in making permanent a 1965 ban on the death penalty for murder.

In 1972, the United States began heavy bombing of North Vietnamese targets during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 11 days later.)

In 1980, former Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin died at age 76.

In 1992, Kim Young-sam was elected South Korea’s first civilian president in three decades.

Ten years ago: In a televised speech, President George W. Bush declared that Iraq’s parliamentary elections signaled the birth of democracy in the Middle East. Vice President Dick Cheney made a surprise visit to Iraq, where he faced tough questions from battle-weary troops.

The Daily Herald Friday, 12.18.2015 3

‘The Force Awakens’ keeps the ‘Star Wars’ faith I wonder which of the ingeniously placed revelations will get the biggest cheer in the new “Star Wars” movie. My money is on the way the camera casually discovers a certain neglected hunk-of-junk spaceship in the middle of a frantic escape.

No spoilers on the other big moments. You’re going to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” anyway, so let’s leave the surprises to be enjoyed fresh.

And you will enjoy this movie, unless you’re disenchanted with the world-dominating nature of “Star Wars” hype, or such a purist that you think any “Star Wars” movie made after 1980 is a stain upon the original holy text.

George Lucas, the man who dreamed up the first 1977 film and the five that followed, has stepped aside from creative control. Disney owns the empire now, and they’ve assigned J.J. Abrams, who rebooted the “Star Trek” franchise, to direct.

Better yet, key returning members from the original cast are signed up for duty. But we have to wait a while to spot any of them—a smart decision.

“The Force Awakens,” which picks up the story decades after “Return of the Jedi,” begins with a delightfully fast-paced halfhour that introduces us to new faces. There’s been a resurgence of evil from the Empire, which leads a Resistance pilot named Poe (Oscar Isaac) to team up with an ex-Stormtrooper called Finn (John Boyega).

Meanwhile, a scavenger, Rey (Daisy Ridley), gets stuck with a spherical little droid on a desert planet. This droid has a secret, which will unlock the whereabouts of a legendary Jedi knight.

It isn’t long before a grizzled Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his hairy friend Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) stumble onto the scene. The trail will eventually lead to Princess — now General — Leia (Carrie Fisher),

ROBERT HORTON

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ★★★½ A phenomenon returns with Episode VII, as the now-graying Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) are joined by engaging new heroes in the fight against the Empire. Director J.J. Abrams strikes a nifty balance between pre-existing mythology and fresh touches, and there’s the familiar sense of childlike play throughout.

Rating: PG-13 for violence Showing: Alderwood Mall, Edmonds, Everett Stadium, Galaxy Monroe, Marysville, Stanwood Cinemas, Meridian, Sundance Cinemas, Thornton Place, Woodinville, Blue Fox, Cascade Mall. and a new threat from the Empire.

Ridley is a determined heroine, and Boyega (from “Attack the Block”) lends some crack comic timing. Along with the engaging youthful heroes, “Force” offers a variety of bad guys, notably Adam Driver as a helmet-wearing dark lord and Domhnall Gleeson as an Empire general.

Abrams, who wrote the script with Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt, strikes a nifty balance between honoring a pre-existing mythology and cooking up something fresh.

There are moments that seem overly familiar — shout-outs for the faithful, like a tavern full of

scum and villainy — but most of the storytelling is cleverly done.

The “Star Wars” saga was never deep; that was part of the point. It served up large comicbook ideas rendered in broad strokes, with chases, lightsaber

duels and cliffhangers. The simplicity of its style cuts across cultures and time periods.

Working at that level, “Force” keeps the faith. It’s a relief to see a big, splashy movie that actually maintains a sense of

childlike play.

And speaking of cliffhangers, we’ve got a couple of doozies in play as this one ends. “Episode VIII,” scheduled for 2017, will have some intriguing strands to pick up.

Fey, Poehler party like rock stars in ‘Sisters’

By Robert Horton Herald Movie critic

“Sisters” may not be much of a movie, but it is a party. In fact more than half the film takes place during a wild, unhinged blowout.

The hosts of this party-pretending-to-bea-movie are Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, “Saturday Night Live” veterans and occasional awards-show emcees. Screenwriter Paula Pell’s sitcom premise — Fey and Poehler play sisters coming together to spend one last weekend in the childhood home their parents have just sold — allows the duo to vamp their way through a series of increasingly chaotic and eminently R-rated situations.

Fey plays Kate, the wayward sister, and Poehler is Maura, the responsible one; reunited, they decide to invite their old highschool class over for a last waltz. Things escalate, drugs are ingested, and genital jokes abound.

(It’s as though Fey and Poehler bottled up their raunchiest impulses during years of network success on “30 Rock” and

“Parks and Recreation” and just decided to go full potty-mouth.)

For the record, as female-driven comedies about recapturing teenage mojo go, “Sisters” falls short of the “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion” gold standard.

So if you’re a fan of these splendid actresses, this movie can’t help but disappoint.

However, the ramshackle structure allows individual moments to pop, especially with a cast full of veteran improvisers. “SNL” rep members Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch and Bobby Moynihan all answer the bell, “Mindy Project” regular Ike Barinholtz provides a predictably hunky-yetironical love interest for straight-laced Maura, and John Leguizamo adds an expert note of sleaze.

Even Dianne Wiest and James Brolin, as the sisters’ parents, get into the mugging.

“Pitch Perfect” director Jason Moore allows Fey and Poehler to stretch the rhythm of the film’s best scenes, so that the two women improvise ideas or bend inflections

to suit their style. At times they seem to be trying solely to amuse each other, which is not only a perfectly acceptable way to create giddiness but a handy shortcut to conveying sibling energy — these moments are a peek inside a simpatico relationship.

It feels like we’re watching the outtakes reel during the actual film,

instead of during the end credits. (This is a compliment; those blooper reels are usually funnier than the films they follow.)

At this point Fey and Poehler have perfected that kind of in-sync comic timing. If they can apply that to movies that are actually good, they may still make some classics.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

“Sisters” ★★½ Tina Fey and Amy Poehler go raunchy in this R-rated affair about siblings who throw a last bash in their childhood home. It’s not much of a movie, but Fey and Poehler share a comic rhythm that convinces you they really are sisters—their improvised moments are the movie’s best.

In ‘Youth’ there's beauty — and the great Michael Caine

By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic

In 2013, the Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino charmed the pants off the world (and copped the foreign-language film Oscar) with his eye-candy opus “The Great Beauty.”

The success of that movie gave Sorrentino a shot at an English-language feature. The new one is a very similar film — full of fortune-cookie wisdom, a strong sense of melancholy, and a fair share of Euro-nudity.

“Youth” is set mostly at a health resort in Switzerland. Here, a celebrated composer named Fred Ballinger (Michael Caine) is taking his annual break — still mourning the loss of his wife, still determined to stay retired from music.

In the amusing opening scene, Ballinger politely but forcefully declines a

knighthood offered by an emissary (Alex Macqueen) from the Queen. He’s over it, and can’t be bothered with any new projects — or, it seems, with any kind of hope for the future.

Also at this exclusive spa are Fred’s daughter (Rachel Weisz), who suffers her own trauma while there; a film director (Harvey Keitel) who shares Fred’s late-life sadness; and a serious young actor (Paul Dano, late of “Love & Mercy”) with sympathy for his elders.

Sorrentino is only 45, but as in “The Great Beauty,” he displays a strong interest in what it means to grow old. Much of “Youth” is Fred walking around the hills of Switzerland, pondering his past and — by the looks of it — ready to check out of his dull existence.

Shy of plot, “Youth” spends its time on

“Youth”★★½

observations and curious characters. If you saw “The Great Beauty,” it will come as no surprise that “Youth” is full of gorgeous surfaces and people.

Sorrentino is at least as much a designer as director. Seriously, the eyeglasses in this movie

are incredibly cool.

I liked Caine’s quiet performance, and he looks great — long white hair, elegant posture. Remember when he was in the “Jaws 4” phase of his career, taking jobs willy-nilly and damaging his reputation?

Yeah, that’s all over with.

Listless arthouse treatment mars ‘Danish Girl’

By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic

There is a longstanding correlation between an actor’s likelihood of winning an Academy Award and the amount of effort visible on screen.

That’s why Leonardo DiCaprio is the odds-on favorite this year for “The Revenant” — the poor guy works so hard he looks as though he’s actually breaking bones in the cause.

Eddie Redmayne, who won last year for his “Theory of Everything” role as Stephen Hawking, is not taking this challenge lying down. In “The Danish Girl,” Redmayne plays Einar Wegener, a Danish painter who underwent sex reassignment surgery in order to become a woman, the newly christened Lili Elbe.

This true story happened in the early years of the 20th century, which makes it prime fodder for the perioddecoration approach of director Tom

Michael Caine is a disenchanted composer spending his annual retreat at a Swiss spa. This new film from “Great Beauty” director Paolo Sorrentino is full of handsome surfaces and fortune-cookie wisdom, but it is a pleasure to watch, and Caine is in great form. With Rachel Weisz, Harvey Keitel.

Rating: R, for nudity, subject matter Showing: Guild 45th

Hooper (“The King’s Speech”).

The film introduces us to Einar and wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) at a time when his success as an artist outstrips hers — Gerda can’t get taken seriously by the sexist art establishment.

When she asks her husband to fill in for a tardy model in a very feminine pose, we see Einar thrilling to the touch of silk stockings, and it isn’t long before Einar’s dolledup “sister,” Lili, begins appearing in public on Gerda’s arm. The early reels catch some of the uncertainty and riskiness of people figuring out who they are — Gerda as much as Einar/Lili — before an experimental doctor (Sebastian Koch, from “The Lives of Others”) is consulted and the film takes a turn toward the fatally noble.

In part “The Danish Girl” grinds down because we spend less time with Gerda, who is at least as

interesting as her tormented spouse.

And the eerily composed Vikander — recently seen in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and as the android in “Ex Machina” — gives a very modern, thoughtful performance.

Redmayne’s sober acting style actually looks a little antique next to hers. The spark she provides grows faint as Hooper slows things down so we can appreciate the injustice to Lili, and the tragedy of being in the wrong body at the wrong time.

This enervated approach brings the worst aspects of the prestige arthouse picture to the fore: tasteful design, serious subject, self-congratulating mood.

“The Theory of Everything” remembered to make the audience feel good — a manipulative ploy, yes, but at least one with some oomph to it. “The Danish Girl” is content to quietly admire its own importance, and assume you will too.

Keitel struggles with his character, but that’s partly the writing; the subplot involving the film director is the weakest part of the movie. Jane Fonda, by the way, turns up late as an actress considering a part in Keitel’s new project.

This is an uneven movie,

but it does offer pleasure: all those handsome surfaces and green hills.

If our culture fetishizes youth, this movie at least comes down on the side of experience and age, even as it chronicles the pains of growing old.

“The Danish Girl” ★★ Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne plays an early 20th-century painter who became an early example of a transgender personality. The true story is given an enervated arthouse treatment by “King’s Speech” director Tom Hooper, and the film dries up despite the hard work of Redmayne and Alicia Vikander.

of toppings. Pasta with choice of sauces. A salad bar with fresh fruits and veggies (44 cents an ounce). Cookies, cakes and cobblers, most for less than $2. Choice of free cold cucumber or lemon water.

We wandered around, perusing the menu that simmered and sizzled before our eyes.

First stop: Daily favorites. No meatloaf. Darn.

But I was mesmerized by a thick casserole thing called Baja baked enchilada ($5.55).

The server scooped a big mound of cheesy goodness onto my plate. I chose corn over broccoli as the side (who wouldn’t?).

Gale wanted the other daily favorite, lemon tilapia. It was sold out, so she

GOURMET BURGERS! WRAPS! SALADS!

Fresh Inspirations Cafe Providence Regional Medical Center Colby Campus, 1700 13th St., Everett.

Hours: 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Daily favorites include country fried steak with brown gravy, chicken with rosemary, roasted turkey breast, eggplant parmesan and beef stroganoff. World cuisine includes red curry chicken, lemongrass chicken and Korean pulled pork sandwich. Pizzas can be special ordered to go.

A senior special, $5.55, is 4 to 6 p.m. weekdays.

Alcohol: None It’s made fresh right there, not something that’s carted in.

Gale summed it up in four words: Filling. Tasty.

Cheap. Fast.

“You might get the idea that it’s creepy to go to the hospital, but it’s nice,” she said.

What did Aaron think?

“I was surprised how much selection there was,” he said. “The quality was OK, better than I expected

from hospital food. The potato chowder soup ($1.89) was hearty. The panini was something you get from Safeway, but still you don’t expect to get that at a hospital. There’s a lot you might not expect.”

My enchilada was good.

But the best part was the soft peanut butter cookies baked right there in the oven. That, and getting Aaron to say “Trust your crazy ideas.”

the main concourse, we admired the art installations that made the place look as much museum as medical. Gale pointed out the James Madison story pole.

The gift shop windows bustled with pretty things, luring me off course.

Aaron reminded us we were there to eat, not to shop. It was 1:30, past his lunchtime. The dude was hungry.

We were greeted by a wide selection of fare at Fresh Inspirations Cafe, the main cafeteria. There is also a bistro in the lobby.

The cafe is separated into stations. Daily favorites. World cuisine prepared to order.

Sandwiches hot off the grill. Giant pizzas sliced in triangles with an array

It was features editor Aaron Swaney’s goingaway lunch and we wanted to take him somewhere special. Someplace memorable.

So my colleague Gale Fiege and I took him to dine at the hospital.

I’d been trying to convince Aaron for months we should do a dining review on hospital food for people who were there of their own free will, not as patients. He always thought I was joking. And every time I told him I wasn’t joking, he said I should be.

I’ve enjoyed many hospital meals in other states. In Colorado, we’d flock to “Taco Tuesday” at the medical center near the newsroom. In Indiana, nothing hit the spot like meatloaf and mashed potatoes at the downtown hospital.

Comfort food. Yes, at hospitals. Really, it makes total sense.

Aaron is a good sport, but he was still shaking his head as we headed to Providence Regional Medical Center’s Colby Campus in Everett.

We got a space in the attached parking garage and stayed dry on a rainy day. Good start!

Walking through the wide, polished hallways on

ordered a Greek burger ($5.49) at the grill a few stations away.

Aaron ran off to the sandwich station to pick a panini and to scope out the soup bar.

The dining area has a tranquil ambience that seems worlds away from sirens and beeping monitors.

Walls of windows flood the room in natural light, even on a gray day. It’s a spacious spread of tables and booths, with lots of elbow room. Those visiting the hospital on serious matters can have their space. So, too, can people in scrubs.

We cleaned our plates.

“It was soft pita. It was tasty, had fresh vegetables and great tzatziki sauce. It was filling. It was a really good deal,” Gale said.

“It’s not gourmet food, but it’s decent. The cherry cobbler was very tasty. It’s a nice cafeteria situation.

Lil Wayne to spark up Dope Music Festival

By Andy Rathbun Herald Writer

Everett’s about to host one of hip hop’s biggest names as it welcomes a music festival aimed at taking fans higher.

The Dope Music Festival will take over the Xfinity Arena in Everett at 6 p.m. Friday. It features superstar rapper Lil Wayne in its headlining spot.

The festival has a goal in mind, and it’s not just music. The annual show got its start last year in Tacoma, with organizers explaining on their website that the concert celebrates the cannabis culture.

Exhibits and booths will highlight the “healing benefits” of marijuana, offer up weed-friendly fashion, and promote the drug’s responsible recreational use.

So don’t be surprised if the air gets a little hazy as the night wears on.

Those goals aside, for the average fan, the big draw will be the music. Lil Wayne is a logical headliner for the show, with his syrupy flow on singles like “Blunt Blowin” a natural fit for the festival’s theme.

The rapper got his start as a pre-teen phenomenon, delivering gritty mixtapes that were entirely out of sync with his age.

Since those buzz-building days, the now-33-yearold rapper has become a millionaire superstar. His studio albums typically go to No. 1 on the Billlboard 200, with his most recent chart- topper, “Tha Carter IV,” seeing release in 2011.

The follow-up to that disc, “Tha Carter V,” has been long-promised, although a dispute with his label has left it in limbo for the time being. Still, fans can expect to hear

the man’s hits during his Everett visit.

Those include singles like “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “Lollipop,” and “Believe Me.” Rich Homie Quan also is on the bill for the show.

The up-and-coming Atlanta rapper has been riding high on mixtape singles like “Flex (Ooh Ooh Ooh)” and “Type of Way,” helping build expectations for his eventual major label debut.

Other acts opening the show will include Omarion, Lil Dicky and K Camp.

Tickets are $63 to $153 at xfinityarenaeverett.com or 866-332-8499.

A pair of shows also are heading to the Showbox SoDo in the days ahead, with Yellow Claw planning to kick things off at 7 p.m. Friday. The threeman electronica act from Amsterdam bills itself as a “partyconcept.” The group built its name by mixing some of the more outroelements of its genre, creating an exaggerated stage presence that suits its high-energy singles.

Mountlake Terrace native and fiddle virtuoso Mark O’Connor is scheduled to bring his “An Appalachian Christmas” tour to Seattle on Saturday.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Veteran British rocker Nick Lowe is slated to perform tonight at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle.

Those include hits like “DJ Turn It Up” and “Till It Hurts.” Tickets are $25 to $35 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Then, the 1975 will play the Showbox SoDo at 8 p.m. Sunday. The British act is vaguely reminiscent of INXS, blending elements of modern-day alt-rock with 1980s-inspired synthpop on catchy hits. Those songs include “Chocolate,” “Girls,” and the act’s most recent single, “Love Me.” Tickets are $30 at

showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Nick Lowe, meanwhile, will play the Neptune Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday, with Los Straightjackets serving as both the famed songwriter’s backing band and opening act.

Lowe won fame as an influential producer during the early days of new wave and punk, working with acts like Elvis Costello and the Damned. He may be most famous to the casual listener thanks to

indelible hits like “Cruel to Be Kind” and “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding.” The show promises to serve as a holiday revue, so don’t be surprised when Lowe busts out songs like his own carol, “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day,” among others.

Tickets are $28 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Mark O’Connor, who grew up in Mountlake Terrace, also will be making the rounds this holiday season, as the virtuoso violinist/fiddler brings his latest tour, “An Appalachian Christmas,” to the Moore Theatre at 8 p.m. Saturday.

O’Connor’s blend of classical music and bluegrass has helped make him an institution. His instrumental

works have won him widespread critical acclaim, while his annual Christmas shows have helped keep him a regular presence on the stage.

Tickets are $42.50 to $52.50 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Finally, a very different kind of holiday show will come to Neumos at 8 p.m. Friday, as No Age headlines the venue’s Psychedelic Holiday Freakout.

It’s anyone’s guess how the critically adored, oftenbristly art-punk act will incorporate carols into its set. The group’s most recent album, “An Object,” was about as far from the snow-and-sleigh-bells sound as an act can get.

Tickets are $15 at etix. com.

The art of affordable gifts, at gallery shops

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

Fewer than a week of shopping days are left until Christmas.

If you are at a loss for a present for someone special, a great alternative to the malls and online catalogs are the gift shops at Schack Art Center in Everett and Cascadia Art Museum in Edmonds (or, for that matter, any of Snohomish County’s small art galleries).

Local artists are the focus at the Schack and Cascadia shops, and some of what they produce is available at relatively inexpensive prices.

The current exhibit at Cascadia involves watercolors from the early years of the Northwest Watercolor Society. The book that accompanies the exhibit is $35 or note cards from the exhibit are $15 for a box of 10.

Christopher Hydinger’s

A colored-pencil print umbrella.

Glass ornaments from LaChausse Blown Glass on Whidbey Island.

“Naturally Felled” tree candle holders range from $18 to $42, and Teri Jo Summer’s hand-dyed silk scarves are $85, April Cameron’s hand-blown glass earrings are $40 and small paintings by Rob Better are $50.

Cute rooster and mouse tree ornaments are $10 to $15. A photo mobile costs about $10, and adult coloring books and a bottle of colored pencils run about $15 for both. A coloredpencil print umbrella is $42.

Sherry Scharschmidt’s canvas cat and dog ornaments.

Seahawk-themed beer steins made by Mark Ellinger.

Honey and other Ballard Bee Company products also are sold at Cascadia.

More information is at cascadiaartmuseum.org.

Located at 190 Sunset Ave., Edmonds, the museum is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, until 8 p.m. on Thursday.

At the Schack, Dave Smith’s salt cellars range from $12 to $24, Steve Dalton’s pottery mugs are $20 each, glass photo holders

by Darleen Nixon are $14 and a Janie Olsen painting print is $35.

On the high end, brilliant Olivier Peter-Contesse rings start at $350.

Sherry Scharschmidt’s

canvas cat and dog ornaments can double as a small painting after Christmas and Mark Ellinger’s glass Seahawk beer stines are popular right now.

Find art by painters Janet Hamilton, Josey Wise and Joan Pinney, among many others.

Glass ornaments, vases, candle holders and more, produced in the Schack hot shop, are available for sale, too, for varying prices.

In addition, nearly everything in the current Holiday Art exhibit is offered for sale. Up until Christmas Eve, the show features two-dimensional works by members of the artist guild Seattle Co-Arts, as well as a diverse selection of pottery and glass by regional artists. Check out the glass work by Dan and Joi LaChauseé.

If you want to make your own gift, consider signing

A print by Betsy Best.

up for the Dec. 19 “Make It Now” class in the glass hot shop. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, people can help one of the Schack’s skilled glassblowers create a beautiful ornament and then buy it for $50.

More information is at www.schack.org. Located at 2921 Hoyt Ave., Everett, the Schack is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m.
