Arlington man linked to fatal shooting Bail set at $1.2M for felon, who is jailed in gun case.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — Police believe they’ve identified the gunman

in a Dec. 20 fatal shooting in Everett.

The man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of a separate offense. The homicide investigation is ongoing, and it might turn out to be a case of self-defense, according to the arrest report.

As of Monday, Everett police detectives still were sorting out what exactly happened in a house before the gunfire, department spokesman Aaron Snell said.

The suspected shooter, a 22-year-old Arlington man, is being held for investigation of

being a felon with a firearm. He also is accused of a violating a protection order in a different case.

“Potentially he was involved in the homicide, but we’re still working on that,” Snell said.

“He’s believed to be the shooter, but we’re still investigating the

shooting itself. We believe he had a weapon that he’s not allowed to have.”

The man was behind bars Monday on $1.2 million bail. He is described in court papers as a gang member. It was too soon See LINK, Page A2

Windspeed Technologies in Everett is developing SkyDeck, an all-glass viewing platform for high-end jetliners.

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Windspeed Technologies, a local aerospace engineering firm, has figured out a way to give flyers a 360-degree view of the heavens.

The company’s solution is called the Skydeck — a glass canopy on top of a passenger jet with room for one or two seats. The design was inspired by a fighter jet’s sleek canopy.

Windspeed’s president and founder Shakil Hussain came up with the concept in 2014 after spending too many hours on crowded intercontinental flights.

“Think if you could go up into the Skydeck, lie back and take in the Milky Way,” he said.

The stars, after all, look much clearer at 35,000 feet up, he added.

Since being unveiled earlier this year, the Skydeck has attracted much interest. The popular weatherman Al Roker See CANOPY, Page A2

Monday to say whether the violence was gangrelated, Snell said.

The name and age of the man who was killed have not been made public. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office is working on scientific confirmation of his identity.

His body was found early Dec. 21 in the kitchen of a home in the 4100 block of Colby Avenue. He had been shot multiple times. Evidence recovered at the scene included shell casings, Snell said.

Witnesses said the two men got into an argument, and both drew guns. The man who is believed to have fired the fatal shots reportedly fled the house with a 28-yearold Lake Stevens woman. The woman also has been arrested.

The pair is accused of breaking into her sister’s house earlier this month and stealing a handgun. It’s not believed to be the same weapon used in the killing.

The woman was booked for investigation of theft, burglary and illegal gun possession. Her bail was set at $100,000.

Both the man and the woman are felons, making it illegal for them to have firearms. In the arrest report, police wrote that the man is considered a flight risk and a “danger to the community.” He also is facing prosecution for allegedly making threats against someone in another case.

highlighted it this month during a segment on The Weather Channel, calling it a “stairway to heaven.”

Airbus Corporate Jets contacted Windspeed about offering the Skydeck to its customers. The firm is talking to Boeing Business Jets, and to aftermarket suppliers, including Greenpoint Technologies.

“Airbus called us,” Hussain said and paused. “ ‘Airbus called us’ — those are beautiful words.”

That is a big part of why the company put the time and resources into developing the Skydeck, which could easily have stayed a daydream. It showcases Windspeed Technologies’ capabilities for finding and delivering creative engineering solutions.

Hussain and his two partners are focused on turning the Everett-based company from a small engineer staffing agency into a direct Boeing supplier, what the aerospace giant calls Tier 1 suppliers.

Hussain started the company in Bothell in 2006.

Most of its work comes from providing engineers to aerospace companies to work on specific projects.

In 2011, the company had 28 engineers, most of who were supporting Boeing suppliers on the 787 Dreamliner program.

Windspeed has 16 people today and contracts to provide engineering support with six companies.

In 2012, the company set out to become a full-service firm that could design and deliver finished engineering projects, rather than simply doing other people’s “grunt work,” Hussain said. The company has already won some inhouse work.

Obama, Clinton among most admired

By Tim Funk The Charlotte Observer

He’s 97, and has kept a much lower public profile since his last crusade 10 years ago. But in 2015, Billy Graham was again among the 10 men most admired by Americans, the Gallup polling organization reported Monday.

The Charlotte, N.C.born evangelist has now made the Gallup Poll’s

Most Admired Men list 59 times. That’s a record and way ahead of anybody else. Graham’s first appearance on the list came in 1955.

President Barack Obama was the most admired man in 2015, for the seventh consecutive year.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the most admired woman for the 14th year in a row.

Overall, Clinton, who was first lady for most of the 1990s, has topped the Most Admired list 20 times — more than any other woman or man in Gallup’s history of asking the question.

Though Clinton and Obama were both No. 1 again by wide margins, both saw a slight decline in their overall percentages as the U.S. enters a presidential election year.

said Bruce Stewart, Windspeed’s director of engineering.

Hussain, Stewart and Vice President Hisashi Ebata own the company.

“At some point, we will break into Boeing because we will have something they want,” Stewart said.

To get there, the company has to compete with Boeing and other aerospace companies for talented engineers. Windspeed Technologies might not pay quite as much as Boeing, but as it gets more in-house work, it can give engineers more chances to create, he said.

“The other thing with a small company, I can park right outside,” Stewart said during an interview at Windspeed’s office near Boeing’s Everett factory.

“I can see my car out the window.”

Also, if an engineer invents something that could be marketable, the company will fund its development and split the royalties with the employee, Hussain said.

“We want to fill this office up with creative engineers doing fun, inventive work,” he said.

He is not worried about competing with bigger, better known companies for talented engineers.

9.5 miles of Whitehorse Trail ready for work Plans call for upgrading the scenic stretch between Arlington and Darringon, bringing riders, hikers and cyclists to the Stillaguamish Valley.

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — Work continues on the scenic Whitehorse Trail between Arlington and Darrington.

The 27-mile route has been lauded as a key recreation feature to help the Stillaguamish Valley recover after the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide. The goal is to create a path for hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders that draws them to Arlington, Darrington and the

smaller communities between.

Bridges along the trail have been repaired and washouts shored up. Work crews have beaten back brush to widen overgrown stretches. Design and engineering is under way to rebuild a mile of the trail destroyed by the mudslide.

Now, the county is ready to tackle another nine and a half miles thanks to millions of dollars in state and federal funds.

The plan is to clear and upgrade the trail starting west of

the slide area heading toward the Cicero Pond Trailhead.

It’s a $4.24 million project. Earlier this month, the Snohomish County Council accepted a $2 million grant from the state Recreation and Conservation Office for the project.

The budget includes $1.1 million from the state Department of Transportation, $570,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state matching dollars, according to county documents.

The rebuild would make the trail 12 feet wide and suitable for nonmotorized uses such as walking, biking or horseback riding. The surface would mostly be

compacted gravel and crushed rock. Brush is to be cleared from the trail and signs installed.

The project is scheduled to start this month and continue until the end of 2018. A preliminary timeline suggests finalizing permits and environmental studies by the end of 2016, hiring contractors by June 2017 and starting construction by the end of July 2017. The county hopes to have construction complete in August 2018, according to the timeline.

The Whitehorse Trail once was a Burlington Northern Railway line. The county purchased it in 1993.

Six miles are officially open to the public heading west

from Darrington toward Swede Heaven Road.

Other stretches of the trail are used by walkers and horseback riders, though they haven’t been updated yet by county crews and contractors.

There are 14 bridges along the trail that have been repaired with new railings and decking, thanks to private donations.

In Arlington, the Whitehorse Trail connects with the popular paved Centennial Trail, which stretches about 30 miles from the city of Snohomish to the Skagit County line.

Christmas Eve traffic circles the Alderwood mall in Lynnwood.

‘Ring road’ eases holiday traffic near mall

By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — More drivers seem to be figuring it out.

A new stretch of roadway added in Lynnwood earlier this year, bordering the new Costco, also provides some relief for holiday shopping traffic around Alderwood mall.

City leaders say they’ve been happy to see a difference in congestion. That was part of their plan for the “ring road” — the new stretch of 33rd Avenue W between the mall’s northern border and Maple Road.

“We’re extremely pleased with

how that has worked during the holidays,” public works director Bill Franz said. “For us here, professionally, it’s really a wonderful thing.”

Holiday season traffic starts in Lynnwood on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Intersections around the mall see as many as 1,100 more cars a day than at other times of the year, city traffic engineer Paul Coffelt said.

More than half of the extra cars travel the area between 4 and 9 p.m. during the work week.

The traffic starts to taper on Christmas Day, “but then there’s all the returns,” Coffelt said. A

steady decline to normal traffic patterns doesn’t start until after the new year, he said.

Both Franz and Coffelt rely on the ring road for their daily commutes.

Historically, one of the biggest bottlenecks in the city during the holidays has been the intersection of 184th Street SW and Alderwood Mall Parkway near the Target store, Franz said.

“In the past, that intersection would back up in all three directions for blocks,” he said. “We’re really not seeing that this year. It’s staying pretty clear, with minor backups.”

The ring road opened this

summer. It cost $10 million, with a mix of private money, grants and about $1.2 million from the city.

Still, it’s taking time for drivers to get used to the changes.

The lane configuration is a little different for Lynnwood, but people get the hang of it after a trip or two, Franz said.

“I noticed a huge difference from September to now; more and more people are using it,” he said. “They’re discovering it’s a great way to cut corners around the mall.”

Makayleigh Hill was a clever, vivacious little gem — a girl who could pull off a fluffy, fancy dress and get it dirty examining every bug in the yard.

The 3-year-old Oak Harbor girl was pulled away from this earth too soon.

A year after her death, her family celebrated her life at a special gathering at one of her favorite places, the beach near the Deception Pass Bridge.

They lit lanterns and set them afloat from North Beach on Dec 18. They wrote messages of love on the filmy, white lanterns, set them afire and watched them push into the night sky, picked up by the breeze. The lights disappeared into the inky darkness, receding into bright points ­— small stars in the sky.

She was the second child of Aimee and David Hill.

State prisoner freed early is charged in deadly wreck

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

front porch

OLYMPIA — A Washington prisoner mistakenly released early because of a computer error has been charged with killing his girlfriend in a car crash when he should have been behind bars, officials said Monday.

The revelation comes a week after Gov. Jay Inslee announced that a software coding error led as many as 3,200 offenders to be wrongly released early since 2002.

He has ordered a review of prisoner releases ahead of a broad fix to the software problem, which is

expected early next month.

One of those freed was Robert Jackson, 38, who walked out of prison four months too soon, on Aug. 10. He had been convicted of robbery with a deadly weapon and should have been released Dec. 6.

During that time, he fled from a Nov. 11 wreck in Bellevue that killed his girlfriend, Lindsay Hill, 35, who was riding in the car he was driving, according to prosecutors and Department of Corrections officials.

Jackson has been charged with vehicular homicide and felony hit-and-run and is being held in

offenders who may have committed new crimes.

Five prisoners released in error since June already are back behind bars. An additional 3,000 who are still incarcerated had inaccurate release dates.

Officials have said most of the errors were 100 days or less.

In some cases, inmates were released just a few days early, but at least one person who is still incarcerated had a release date that was off by about 600 days.

The mistake followed a 2002 state Supreme Court ruling

Pacholke said he didn’t learn of the error until earlier this month, at which point the governor’s office was notified.

Two retired federal prosecutors are conducting an independent investigation to determine why the error occurred and went unfixed for more than 13 years.

Another state Supreme Court ruling credits time out of prison to the sentences of those mistakenly released early, so most of the affected offenders won’t have to go back to prison.

SEATAC — A King County sheriff’s spokeswoman said the bomb squad detonated a grenade found near an elementary school in the city of SeaTac. Sgt. Cindi West said a construction worker found the grenade in a box on a street corner Monday.

West said bomb technicians determined the grenade was real but upon detonating it found that it contained no explosives.

West said even though the device did not contain explosives it is a crime to “place a hoax device.” An investigation is under way to determine who placed the device in the area.

of fatally stabbing Eric Cooper, 29, and 2-year-old Cooper Chen, whose bodies were found inside the couple’s Seattle apartment.

Chen’s defense team, in a motion filed in October, suggested Chen had a buildup of dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant found in many over-the-counter cold medicines, in his system.

The motion argues that the drug metabolized slowly in Chen, who is Taiwanese, due to his genetic makeup.

Chen goes to trial in April.

Online tool maps natural disasters A new online mapping tool lets Seattle residents zoom in on the natural hazards that threaten their homes or workplaces. The Seattle Times reported that users can find out whether their office or apartment building sits on soil that will turn to goo in a major earthquake. Other overlays show areas vulnerable to flooding, landslides and quake-triggered tsunamis. Seattle’s Office of Emergency Management wanted to present the information in a way that was easy to understand and accessible. Emergency managers said the information may help people get prepared for natural disasters.

Portland activist challenges city A Portland activist is taking the city to federal court. Joe Walsh has asked a federal judge to issue a restraining order against the city to prevent officials from excluding activists from council sessions and City Hall who they consider have been “acting inappropriately,” according to The Oregonian. The city excluded Walsh, 73, from council meetings three times between September 2014 and July 2015. He was excluded for 60 days on one occasion and 30 days for the other two.

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

$136K paid in wedding cake case Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon bakery owners who denied service to a same-sex couple have paid more than $136,000 in state-ordered damages — after refusing to do so for nearly six months.

The Bureau of Labor and Industries said Aaron Klein, co-owner of the Portland-area bakery, dropped off a check Monday for $136,927.07.

That includes accrued interest. Klein also paid $7,000 earlier this month.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Carolyn; four children, Donna, Les, Trina, and Stacy; eight grandchildren; five greatgrandchildren; siblings; nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Joseph B. (Burt) Garrison O n M a rc h 3 0 , 191 8 , i n Everett, Wash., Por ter and Mabel Garrison welcomed their second son, Joseph B. (Bur t) Garrison into the world. 97 years later he left a dramatically changed world.

Raised in the logging camps on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, Burt came to respect hard work, many cultures and the pride of doing a job well. He moved with his family throughout his youth, eventually finding success as a student at the University of Washington. While there, he was called to serve during World War II. Burt had four brothers at the beginning of World War II; he had three at its conclusion.

The youngest, Don, was lost over the Pacific while flying a combat mission. At the time of Dons’ death, Bur t was training for the Normandy landing. During one of the training sessions, the lieutenant in charge of his unit forgot to order ammunition for the maneuver. When his unit returned to base, Burt signed up for the officer’s exam. 30 some years later he retired from the US Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel.

During his military career he was in charge of the transportation units on the island of Tinian during the time the two atomic bombs were launched from there; graduated from one of the first classes of what would become the Air Force Academy with a Master’s Degree in missile management; was a key figure in the development of the rocket engines that would launch the Atlas Aegina series of rockets; earned a second MBA from UCLA; was named chairman of the board for Minuteman II missile defense system, bringing that system in on time and under budget; over saw the installation of multiple re-entr y warheads on the Minuteman system; wa s i nvo l ve d i n t h e f i n a l development choices for the F-114A. He loved his military career challenges and his countr y; but he was more than a career officer.

Before being recalled to the military during the Korean c o n f l i c t , B u r t c o m p l e te d his undergraduate studies at the University of Washington, married the love of his life, Bette and negotiated a contract to manage one of the largest logging operations in South America. He o b t a i n e d h i s r e a l e s t a te broker’s license, acquired waterfront on the south end of Camano Island, Wash. that was to become his home, source of income from sale of lots and a place he considered as close to paradise as it got. He loved nothing more than driving his family

north from California after the children completed a school year, putting on a pair of logger’s jeans, not shaving for two weeks and teaching his children how to handle themselves in the woods.

His oil painting and drawings revealed the eye of an artist. An ordained minister he could be found studying the bible, speaking of God’s influence in his life and the promise made to all who believed. His ability to weave command of the scripture, the values enhanced through his knowledge and work with the Masons, with the eye of the artist and the mind of the skilled manager into a conversation with a stranger allowed him to be approachable, curious and seldom a stranger for long.

Burt could walk into a room and not know anyone; he would leave knowing or introducing himself to at least half the people in the room.

Forever curious and generous of spirit, Bur t worked with the Chamber of Commerce to develop Camano Island, the Rotary to serve members of the larger Camano Island community, w i t h h i s b ro t h e r s i n t h e Masonic lodge wherever he lived and with his family to instill the values of hard work, integrity, drive, will and the power of success that can occur when one applies all of themselves to a task.

Burt is survived by his four children: Michael, Sally, Pamela and Heidi; grandchildren, Joshua, Conner, Natalie and Jamie and great grandchildren, Bentley and Mica.

Burt joined his Bette on Friday, December 18, 2015.

A celebration of his life will be held at Gilbertson Funeral Home, 27001 88th Ave NW, Stanwood, WA on Wednesday D e c e m b e r 3 0 , 2 01 5 , a t 11 a.m. followed by a gathering at the Camano Country Club.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Wounded Warriors Fund in his name.

maintenance would look like is to be decided during more local planning efforts. It could include fixing problem spots on roads so they’re less frequently in need of repairs or decommissioning routes that are too costly to fix.

The Forest Service is in the early stages of creating multiple Access and Travel Management Plans guided by the overarching Sustainable Roads Report, Forest Service spokeswoman Tracy O’Toole wrote in an email.

“The Sustainable Roads Strategy is not a decision document,” O’Toole said. “It is a guide that will inform future decisions on where and how the Forest Service invests resources on building new roads, managing current roads or decommissioning old roads.”

The plan does not recommend building any new roads.

The Forest Service looked at funding trends over the past five years and concluded that, at current levels, they can afford to maintain a little more than a third of the roads they’re in charge of. It would take about $82 million to catch up on maintenance they’ve deferred over the years, and if all the roads were fixed up, it would cost more than $9.6 million a year to maintain them, according to a financial analysis.

The Forest Service spends about $2.3 million to maintain roads in the Mount-Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. The changes proposed in the Sustainable Roads Report are expected to drop that to about $1.4 million.

More than 40 percent of the forest roads face environmental and safety concerns such as endangered species living nearby or unstable terrain, according to the report.

Officials held public meetings and worked with local tribes on the plan. They determined which roads were more or less important to maintain based on a list of criteria, including: access to recreation sites or timber sales; legal commitments and permits; tribal access; risk to wildlife, water quality of cultural sites; and economic impact on nearby communities.

Moving forward, there will be local public comment opportunities before officials make final decisions about roads in specific areas.

Texas cleans up after twisters Associated Press GARLAND, Texas — Jacqui Gordon spent Monday sifting through the debris that had been her home, searching for old family photographs — especially of her father, who died two years ago.

She and nine others were enjoying a holiday gathering when winds began to rattle her home in suburban Dallas. They all dashed into closets and suffered only bumps and bruises, but Gordon’s roof was torn away and her house destroyed.

“I just got divorced, and this is all I had,” she said.

With rain all day Sunday keeping people away, residents worked on a dreary and frigid Monday to salvage what they could, with the American Red Cross distributing items like tarps, rakes and work gloves to

help them.

At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area Saturday. Snow from New Mexico through the Midwest, plus flooding in Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois, added to the succession of severe weather events across the country in the last week that led to about four dozen deaths.

The storm system brought heavy snow, ice and blustery winds to several states in the nation’s midsection, as well as heavy rain in already-waterlogged areas.

More than 2,100 flights across the U.S. were canceled Monday — more than half of them at Chicago’s two main airports — and 3,700 were delayed, according to FlightAware. A typical day sees about 150 cancellations and 4,000 delays.

Highways turned icy and treacherous in New Mexico, while Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency after blizzard conditions affected parts of the state and heavy rains fell.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the body of a man, 22, was recovered in northern Oklahoma but a second man, the lead singer of the countryrock band Backroad Anthem, was still missing after the two went duck hunting and their boat capsized. The body of a 36-year-old man who tried to cross a creek in his pickup near Arpelar was also recovered Monday, the patrol said.

Officials in Arkansas said a 31-year-old man died in a storm-related drowning.

Several inches of rain caused flooding in Illinois and Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon

also declared a state of emergency. Nixon said the state’s death toll from days of pounding rainfall has risen to 10, and he expects that number to grow.

The Mississippi River neared a potential record crest, after an unusual amount of late-fall rain had the river already high before torrential downpours that began Saturday.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said Monday the state is seeking a federal disaster declaration for some or all of the seven counties hit by a tornado last week.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made disaster declarations Sunday for four counties — Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and Ellis. Officials estimated as many as 1,450 homes in North Texas were damaged or destroyed by at least nine tornadoes.

Sex slave settlement South Korea, Japan reach landmark deal to assist World War II “comfort women.”

In a grim reminder that violence in America never takes a holiday, 27 people were killed and 63 injured in shooting incidents on Christmas Day this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This tally does not include people who shot themselves in suicide.

The number of Americans killed in gun homicides on Christmas Day is comparable to the number of people killed in gun homicides in an entire year in places like Australia or Britain. The 27 people killed

CLEVELAND — A grand jury Monday declined to indict a white rookie police officer in the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, a black youngster who was shot while playing with what turned out to be a pellet gun. In explaining the decision, Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said it was “indisputable” that the boy was drawing the pistol from his waistband when he was gunned down.

McGinty said Tamir was trying to either hand the weapon over to police or show them it wasn’t real, but the officer and his partner had no way of knowing that.

“Simply put, given this perfect storm of human error, mistakes and miscommunications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police,” McGinty said.

D.C.: Iran moves uranium Iran shipped more than 25,000 pounds of enriched uranium to Russia on Monday, a key commitment in the nuclear deal that had be fulfilled before international sanctions can be lifted.

Secretary of State John Kerry applauded the transfer, calling it a “significant milestone” toward the deal’s implementation. He said the one shipment alone more than triples the estimated two- to three-month “breakout time” needed for Iran to acquire enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear weapon.

Under the agreement reached July 14, Iran must whittle down nine tons of lowenriched uranium it had stockpiled to 300 kilograms, about 660 pounds.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife will come to Washington for a state visit March 10, the White House announced Monday, a sign of the deepening ties between President Obama and his Canadian counterpart.

A White House press secretary said the visit by Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, will include a state dinner as well as working meetings. It will mark the first state visit by a Canadian prime minister since 1997. The 43-year-old leader of Canadian’s Liberal Party, who ousted Canada’s Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper in October, has already garnered international attention for his telegenic looks and exuberant approach to governing.

HONG JI-WON / YONHAP

Former South Korean sex slaves in Gwangju, South Korea, who were forced to serve the Japanese army during World War II, wait for results of a meeting of South Korean and Japanese foreign ministers Monday.

has been accused of whitewashing wartime atrocities.

Another deciding factor was that the $8.3 million — to create a foundation to help provide support for the victims — came from the government, not private sources, something Tokyo has resisted in the past.

South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se said Seoul considers the agreement “final and irreversible,” as long as Japan faithfully follows through with its promises.

Later Monday, Abe called South Korean President Park Geun-hye and reiterated his apology. He said Tokyo would implement the deal and called the issue settled irreversibly.

Park said she hoped the two countries will build mutual trust and open a new era in ties based on the agreement.

After phoning Park, Abe said the agreement was based on his commitment to stop future generations from having to repeatedly apologize.

“Japan and South Korea are now entering a new era,” Abe said. “We should not drag

this problem into the next generation.”

Park issued a separate statement saying the deal was the result of her government’s best efforts to resolve the sex slave issue, given its urgency. “Most of victims are at an advanced age and nine died this year alone,” she said.

“I hope the mental pains of the elderly comfort women will be eased,” Park said.

The initial reaction of former sex slaves was mixed. One woman said she would follow the government’s lead, while another vowed to ignore the accord because Tokyo didn’t consider the money to be formal compensation.

“Isn’t it natural to make legal compensation if they commit a crime?” said Lee Yong-su, 88, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.

Some in Seoul saw the deal, while not perfect, as an important step forward.

“If we brushed aside this deal, the comfort women issue would remain unresolved forever,” said Lee Won

Deog, director of Institute of Japanese Studies at Seoul’s Kookmin University. “Elderly women would die one by one; South Korea and Japan would engage in history wars and find it harder to improve ties.”

Many South Koreans continue to feel bitterness over Japan’s brutal colonial occupation of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945. But South Korean officials have also faced calls to improve ties with Japan, the world’s No. 3 economy and a regional powerhouse, not least from U.S. officials eager for a strong united front against a rising China and North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear-armed missiles that could target the American mainland.

The U.S. welcomed the announcement, with Secretary of State John Kerry applauding the two leaders’ “courage and vision.”

“We believe this agreement will promote healing and help to improve relations between two of the United States’ most important allies,” Kerry said.

27 Americans shot, killed on Christmas The Washington Post

County won’t indict cop in youth killing

Justin Trudeau to visit D.C.

Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — An apology from Japan’s prime minister and a pledge of more than $8 million sealed a breakthrough deal Monday in a decades-long impasse with South Korea over Korean women forced into Japanese military-run brothels during World War II. The accord, which aims to resolve the emotional core of South Korea’s grievances with its former colonial overlord, could begin to reverse decades of animosity and mistrust between the two thriving democracies, trade partners and staunch U.S. allies. It represents a shift for Tokyo’s conservative government and a new willingness to compromise by previously wary Seoul.

A statement by both countries’ foreign ministers said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe “expresses anew his most sincere apologies and remorse to all the women who underwent immeasurable and painful experiences and suffered incurable physical and psychological wounds as comfort women,” the euphemistic name given the women.

Historians say tens of thousands of women from around Asia, many of them Korean, were sent to front-line military brothels to provide sex to Japanese soldiers.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Abe would be issuing a separate written statement or if it would be directly delivered to the 46 surviving former Korean sex slaves, now in their 80s and 90s.

The language mirrored past expressions of remorse by other prime ministers, although it was seen by some in Seoul as an improvement on previous comments by Abe’s hawkish government, which

ACROSS THE U.S.

by guns in America on Christmas this year is equal to the total number of people killed in gun homicides in an entire year in Austria, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, Estonia, Bermuda, Hong Kong and Iceland, combined.

The dead included the parents of a young child who were shot during a robbery in Columbus, Ohio; a Texas grandfather, whose 73-yearold wife says she shot him for “continuous marital issues and infidelities;” a young couple killed in their vehicle in the early morning hours near

Augusta, Maine; and the owner of a barbershop in Alabama who was known as “a strong voice against crime” in the community, according to local news reports.

At least two of the Christmas Day shootings qualified as mass shooting incidents with four or more people shot.

In one, a 2-year old girl and three teenagers were injured in a shooting in a high-crime neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. Later that night in Mobile, Alabama, four teenagers were shot by two gunmen outside a movie theater.

So far this year, the U.S. averaged roughly 36 gun fatalities and 73 gun injuries each day, according to the Gun Violence Archive. So the Christmas Day tally represents something of a temporary de-escalation in the violence, but not a huge one.

This year has brought renewed attention to the problem of mass shooting incidents in America. But the spate of Christmas Day violence is a reminder that many more people are killed and injured in a relentless daily drumbeat of gun crime that barely makes the headlines.

New York: TSA checks The Transportation Security Administration is increasing random checks of airport and airline employees who hold badges that enable them to bypass security checkpoints. The decision follows instances in the past two years in which employees used restricted entrances to smuggle guns and launder money. It’s also part of a larger push to increase airport security after the Paris terrorist attacks and the crash of a jet flying between Egypt and Russia, believed to have been brought down by a bomb. American Airlines’ managing director of corporate security, said “we anticipate the random screening process to increase throughout December and during the 2016 calendar year.”

Utah: Planned Parenthood The state chapter of Planned Parenthood has appealed a U.S. judge’s ruling that allows Republican Gov. Gary Herbert to cut off federal funding to the organization. The Planned Parenthood Association of Utah filed a notice Sunday asking the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to block Herbert’s order cutting off the money.

Holiday spending up 7.9% A SpendingPulse report found that furniture sales rose by double-digit percentages.

Associated Press NEW YORK — Americans spent more on items like furniture during the holidays this year, with online shopping in particular seeing a big spike, according to a report released Monday.

Overall spending rose 7.9 percent from a year ago, according to the MasterCard SpendingPulse

report, which tracks retail sales across cards, cash and checks from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. The uptick was driven by people sitting in the comfort of their homes or at work, with online shopping up 20 percent.

Shopping at physical stores still accounts for the majority of spending during the holidays.

But the continuing shift to online shopping is forcing retailers to improve their websites, or offer perks like faster or free delivery.

Earlier this month, another report by First Data also found that online sales growth was outpacing sales growth at physical

stores. That report was based on payments from Oct. 31 to Dec. 14.

The SpendingPulse report does not include spending by dollar amounts. But the National Retail Federation, the nation’s largest retail trade group, expects sales for November and December to rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion from a year ago.

For the traditional holiday shopping period from Black Friday to Christmas Eve, the SpendingPulse report found that furniture sales rose in the doubledigit percentages, indicating that people are “willing and able” to spend on big-ticket items.

Sales of women’s clothing also rose double-digits, while men’s apparel declined. The report noted that the warm weather this fall pushed back sales of clothing, leading to some pentup demand during the holiday shopping period. Retailers such as Macy’s had said the unseasonably warm temperatures would force it to slash prices on items like coats and boots during the holidays.

The SpendingPulse report is based on sales activity on the MasterCard payments network, along with estimates for cash and check spending based on surveys.

Amazon’s deliveries set record Christmas Eve was the biggest day yet for deliveries by the company’s Prime Now service.

Fitbit tops at Apple’s app store It was a merry Christmas for fitness-tracking device maker Fitbit.

The company’s app was the most downloaded on Apple’s app store Christmas Day, a sign that many people couldn’t wait to set up their Fitbit trackers after unwrapping them. It also suggests that the trackers were a hot seller during the holidays, despite competition from Apple’s smartwatch and other wearable devices. Investors were pleased, sending shares of the San Francisco company higher Monday.

The Fitbit app topped Apple’s app store in the U.S. on Christmas Day and the day after, according App Annie, which tracks app downloads and rankings. That’s far better than last year when the Fitbit app ranked at No. 18 on Christmas Day and No. 15 the day after, according to Raymond James & Associates.

stores right before Christmas, now can do last-minute shopping online. Amazon and some other retailers promised that items ordered as late as the morning

of Christmas Eve would arrive by midnight.

Amazon said nearly 70 percent of its customers this holiday used a mobile device to shop.

Worldwide, on Cyber Monday alone, those customers ordered more than 35 electronic items per second and Adele’s new CD, “25,” every 3 seconds.

Cyber Monday, the Monday following Thanksgiving, has seen online purchases jump since its founding a decade ago. Meanwhile, the number of shoppers going to stores on Black Friday has decreased as major retailers open on Thanksgiving evening and many retailers offer deals before then.

Amazon’s report issued on Monday covers trends and percentage changes in its shipments, but doesn’t give sales figures or the number of items it shipped.

In response to an Associated Press request for details, Amazon. com Inc. said that it isn’t sharing additional information.

The paper reported that the online retail giant “has chartered a Boeing 737 to fly between Poland, the (United Kingdom) and Germany” for the past six weeks to ferry cargo between its warehouses those countries. The paper said Amazon chartered the plane from DB Schenker, the logistics arm of the German railway company, Deutsche Bahn. On Dec. 17, The Seattle Times reported that Seattle-based Amazon was negotiating to lease 20 Boeing 767 jets for its own airdelivery service, according to cargo-industry executives.

Subway moves to cage-free eggs

Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. — Online retailer Amazon has been a prime beneficiary of more consumers doing their holiday shopping online and procrastinating.

Amazon Prime, the company’s $99-a-year loyalty program that includes unlimited free two-day shipping, gained 3 million new members in the third week of December alone. Meanwhile, the number of Prime members shopping via mobile more than doubled this holiday season, Amazon said Monday.

Christmas Eve was the biggest day yet for deliveries by the company’s Prime Now service, which now offers free two-hour delivery to more than 20 metropolitan areas. When Prime Now launched last year, it only delivered within Manhattan.

Seattle-based Amazon also said it shipped a record number of items worldwide for the holidays, with items going to 185 countries.

The 20-year-old company is profiting from major trends reshaping holiday shopping in the U.S. More and more people do part or even all of their shopping online, increasingly using mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones to “window shop” and then buy items from their couch or their desk at work.

Retailers are deluging consumers with email offers for online-only deals.

Subway said Monday it would use all cage-free eggs by 2025, joining other fast-food restaurants planning to make the transition amid pressure from consumers and animal welfare groups. Subway has already started to use cage-free eggs in some markets across the U.S. and Canada. Subway first introduced cage-free eggs when it launched breakfast in 2010. It has 30,000 locations in North America. Subway uses cage-free eggs in Australia and eggs from free-range hens in Europe. The timeline announcement comes amid a new ad campaign for Subway, focusing on the freshness of the chain’s food.

Egg McMuffins boost McDonald’s Turns out that an Egg McMuffin for lunch hit the spot at McDonald’s. The fastfood giant’s decision this fall to offer breakfast items all day in the U.S. market is one reason why McDonald’s is ending 2015 on a notable upswing after starting the year in a deep slump. Under the guidance of Steve Easterbrook, who took over as McDonald’s chief executive in March, the chain’s U.S. comparable-store sales — that is, sales at restaurants open at least one year — are rising again from year-earlier levels for the first time since 2013. The price of McDonald’s stock has soared about 25 percent since late August to record highs.

Saudis will pay more for their gasoline Saudi Arabia on Monday said this year’s budget deficit amounted to $98 billion as lower oil prices cut into the government’s main source of revenue, prompting the kingdom to scale back spending for the coming year and hike up petrol prices. A royal decree announced that petrol prices would go up by 50 percent effective Tuesday. Even with that jump, Saudis will pay just 24 cents for a liter of 95 octane gasoline, less than a dollar per gallon. The Saudi-based Jadwa Investment estimates the government spends around $61 billion on energy subsidies annually, almost $11 billion of that on gasoline alone.

Nothing worked: Stocks, bonds, cash go nowhere Bloomberg NEW YORK — The idea behind asset allocation is simple: when one market struggles, it’s OK because an investor can jump into another that is thriving. Not so in 2015.

In fact, if you judge the past year by which U.S. investment class generated the largest return, a case can be made it was the worst for asset-allocating bulls in almost 80 years, according to data compiled by Bianco Research and Bloomberg. With three days left in 2015, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 2.2 percent with dividends, cash is up less, while bonds and commodities show losses.

After embracing everything from Treasuries to high-yield bonds and technology shares amid seven years of zeropercent interest rates, investors found themselves with nowhere to run at a time when the Federal Reserve’s campaign of stimulus drew to an end. Normally it isn’t like this. Since 1995, practically every year has seen some asset deliver returns

wealth. In a live online chat with my readers and me in 2010, Stanley wrote: “The social pressure from colleagues, friends to spend is enormous. Add to that the pressure from marketers, and it’s hard to believe that anyone saves money today. It’s really hard to remain frugal. However, you have to think differently than the crowd and take pride in doing so. As

almost a decade and its potential impact on the economy weighed on markets throughout 2015, according to Michael Arone, the Boston-based chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors’ U.S. Intermediary Business. Policy makers signaled the pace of subsequent increases will be “gradual” when finally tightening this month.

“The Fed has finally broken that cycle by beginning policy normalization, and hopefully this will provide the market some clarification and resolve in a more solid direction,” Arone said. “If the market feels comfortable at the pace of which the Fed moves interest rates and the economy is recovering, risk assets like stocks could perform well.”

The S&P 500 has made little headway in 2015, adding 0.1 percent without dividends. Equities fared worse in dollar terms outside the U.S., with the MSCI EAFE Index dropping 3.1 percent while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index sinking 16 percent.

Commodities have fallen to a decade low as tepid

global inflation dimmed the allure of precious metals, weak Chinese demand hurt raw-materials prices and a global supply glut sent crude oil tumbling.

In the bond market, highyield corporate debt is heading for first annual decline since 2008 amid a flood of investor redemptions from junk bond funds and concern rising borrowing costs will threaten corporate solvency.

According to Bianco’s study, gains from the best-performing assets had surpassed 10 percent in all but one year since 1995. During the last nine decades, 23 years, or a quarter of the total, saw at least one asset class returning more than 30 percent, and only four ended with gains smaller than 4 percent.

“Investor expectations for both equities and bonds have been elevated by recent history,” said Lowell Yura, head of multi-asset solutions for BMO Global Asset Management in Chicago. The firms oversees $225 billion. “This year is a wake-up call to think about lower returns for the next several years.”

“It’s been challenging from the point of view that the equity market and bond market are probably more joined at the hip than normal,” said Hayes Miller, the Boston-based head of multi-asset North America who helps oversee $35.8 billion for Baring Asset Management. “We’ve had high cash exposure relative to norm because we felt cash provides one of the only good diversifiers against the risk-off trade.”

CRB Commodity Index to gauge performance in stocks, bonds, cash and commodities. The four are the most common asset classes considered by investors when an allocation strategy is designed, according to Jim Bianco, the founder.

While the depth of losses in equities and commodities is nowhere near as bad as in 2008, the correlation of declines highlights the challenge for money managers who seek to amplify returns by rotating among assets. Among other things it’s a recipe for pain among hedge funds, according to Bianco. The industry is heading for its

worst annual performance since 2011, with closures rising, data compiled by Bloomberg and Hedge Fund Research Inc. show.

“The Fed stimulus lifted all boats, and then the Fed withdrawing the stimulus is holding the boats down,” Bianco said. “If the argument is right that the economy is going into 2016 weak and earnings are negative, those conditions will continue and therefore on the asset allocation level, I don’t expect anything to break out just yet.”

IN OUR VIEW | State Patrol’s thinning ranks

Reversing the loss of troopers That the Washington State Patrol was losing officers to better-paying jobs with police and sheriff departments across the state has become clear in recent years.

The State Patrol is authorized for 690 trooper positions, but currently only 580 are filled. And the drain of troopers, with ranks thinning more quickly than the patrol can add new hires, could reduce it to a force of as few as 250 by 2026 if current trends were to continue.

But trooper pay isn’t the only factor, according to a recently released study prepared for legislators that surveyed and interviewed current and former troopers and analyzed other data.

“There is no one fix. You cannot pay your way out of it,” former Sacramento police chief Rick Braziel, a member of the team preparing the study, told The Herald’s Jerry Cornfield in Monday’s issue.

The report found that while better pay elsewhere was an incentive to leave, it

was dissatisfaction among troopers with their workload, working conditions and with the agency’s management that was prompting troopers to look elsewhere in the first place. While 90 percent of current troopers surveyed reported dissatisfaction with their pay and benefits, 90 percent also were unhappy with management. Among current troopers, 64 percent said they would not encourage anyone to join the State Patrol, and 79 percent of former troopers in the survey also would advise against working for the agency.

The report found a range of reasons for troopers’ on-thejob displeasure, among them: ■■Management that is more concerned with the number of citations rather than on outcomes, such as fewer traffic deaths; ■■A lack of communication between troopers in the field and their leadership; ■■An increased workload because of the unfilled positions;

■■A shift rotation that requires troopers, regardless of seniority, to work 56 days on the day shift, then 56 days on the night shift; and ■■Out-of-date and uncomfortable uniforms, made of wool and last redesigned more than 50 years ago.

The report shows where work is needed and who’s responsible for taking the lead.

While few express dissatisfaction with State Patrol Chief John Batiste, the report is clear that patrol leadership should evaluate its own performance, shift its focus to outcomes rather than numbers and identify changes in management and working conditions that will improve its standing with its troopers and those looking to join its ranks.

And while the agency’s leadership is addressing those issues, the Legislature also needs to make the necessary investments that will maximize the effectiveness of those changes.

The report recommends

the Legislature will need to work with the State Patrol and the state Office of Financial Management to develop a long-term compensation plan. While it could take several years to implement, the plan should provide some reassurance to current troopers that the issue is being addressed. In the short term, the report also recommends that troopers with 20 years or more of service and considering retirement should be encouraged to remain with the agency through the use of increased pay or retention bonuses.

The governor has identified $465,000 in his supplemental budget that can begin some of this work. Lawmakers should include that allocation in the supplemental budget in the coming session, then be prepared to provide adequate funding during the next full budget session to help the State Patrol put more troopers on the job before the agency celebrates its centennial year in 2021.

This levy directly supports the education of children in our community by improving technology, providing necessary teaching materials and curriculum, and funding transportation, special education, health and safety, and extracurricular activities. Passing the levy will not impose any new taxes, so it is an easy decision we can all make to support students and teachers in our community.

Here in Arlington, we are lucky to have wonderful administrators, teachers, parents and children. I am looking forward to the opportunity to support all of these people who contribute so much to our community by voting “yes.” Please join me in voting “yes” on Feb. 9 to support the children in our community who need us.

Decency must begin at home Just because somebody has enough money to make his or her life look like it’s high society and glamorous does not make it a tradition or a way of life that is good for the country as a whole.

■■CAROUSEL RANCH

Keep some acres for horse stables Regarding the article, “Snohomish County buys former horse farm in Maltby for future park”: To the Snohomish County planning committee, if I could make a suggestion: Since you’re only talking about developing 25 of the 65 acres at these horse stables, may I suggest leaving the other 40 for boarding horses? What the Carousel Ranch provided to the community was a lowercost facility to board horses for those people who love horses but don’t have a great deal of income to pay two or three times the cost elsewhere locally. Not everyone who owns a horse belongs to the Polo Club, most are hardworking people who simply love horses.

While I love the idea of more soccer and youth sport fields, I ask that the planning commission also understand that it is displacing living, breathing, beautiful animals whose owners may not have the funds to pay two or three times the cost elsewhere to board their horses in the area. You already have a barn, stable and covered arena — think how much taxpayer money you could save by keeping them upright and working? You could also continue to charge boarding fees so the park could pay for itself. You could set an income limit on whom you allow boarding to give those people in the area who need it a break.

This is an opportunity to create something most public parks don’t have simply by leaving some of it as it is.

While dog parks are great, how many places are left near major populations where horses can run a bit? Here’s an opportunity to be different in

Blame belongs to our president Once again Americans have died at the hands of an immigrant intent on harming us and our way of life. President Barack Hussein Obama and his penchant for allowing dangerous foreigners into the country is once again culpable for this tragedy.

This president does not have the interests of the American people at heart. He is a globalist, first and foremost, and views a few dead Americans as a small price to pay to bring about the world order he, the academic elite, and the multinational corporations envision.

■■THE HERALD

Work in good news consistently I have been depressed.

Last week I told Mindy (my wife) that we should cancel The Herald. I held up the first section to her and said there is not one positive story in the entire of section. I was depressed before I got my paper. Then comes Saturday morning with the wonderful story about the Mukilteo Police officers personally helping out the Alabama family who had their gifts stolen. Add that to the fact that we are getting the Broadway bridge back and open on Dec. 8 and we are getting on a roll. Another item on the front page was also good news. I drive through Bend, Oregon, at least twice a year to visit friends and I’m a craft beer drinker. I had no idea Bend was a leader in craft beers; bravo — three positive stories on the front page.

All of that and Dear Abby, sports, my favorite funnies and I’m a happy camper. For me the front page sets the tone.

We all know that if five people die in a car accident it gets the headline. Save the stories of what good people do — it changes my perception.

GOP will never be the same after Trump

H

istory will remember 2015 as the year when The Republican Party As We Knew It was destroyed by Donald Trump. An entity called the GOP will survive — but can never be the same.

Am I overstating Trump’s impact, given that not a single vote has been cast? Hardly.

I’m not sure it’s possible to exaggerate how the Trump phenomenon EUGENE ROBINSON has torn the party apart, revealing a chasm between establishment and base that is far too wide to bridge with stale Reagan-era rhetoric. Can you picture the Trump legions meekly falling in line behind Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio? I can’t either.

Trump didn’t blow up the party on his own. He had help from a field of presidential contenders that was touted as deep and talented but proved shallow and wanting. Bush raised shock-and-awe money but turns out to lack his father’s and brother’s skill at performing on the national stage; he seems to want to be crowned, not elected. Rubio is like the teacher’s pet who speaks eloquently in class but doesn’t do his homework. Chris Christie was slow off the mark, perhaps having been stuck in traffic on the George Washington Bridge.

Who else would be acceptable to the GOP establishment? Certainly not Rand Paul. Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and John Kasich all had their glory days in the last century. Carly Fiorina has never held elective office. Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham have come and gone.

At year’s end, the campaign is dominated by three candidates who appeal over the heads of the establishment and straight to the unruly base: Ted Cruz, who negates the fact that he is a sitting senator by waging all-out war against the party leadership; Ben Carson, a distinguished neurosurgeon who seems increasingly out of his depth; and Trump, the undeniable front-runner.

What Trump has done is call out the establishment on years of dishonest rhetoric. Progressives often asked why so many working-class whites went against their own economic interests by supporting the GOP. The answer is that Republicans appealed to these voters on cultural grounds, subtly exploiting their resentments and fears.

The nation’s demographics are changing, with a rapidly growing Latino population — and an African-American in the White House. Globalization has hollowed out the middle class. The country is vulnerable to terrorism and there is no way to impose a Pax Americana upon today’s multipolar world.

The Republican Party promised — with nods, winks and dog-whistle toots — to change all of this and make everything the way it used to be. In practice, however, party leaders were compelled to deal with the world as it actually is. Hence, for example, the establishment view a couple of years ago in favor of comprehensive immigration reform.

Enter Trump, who has the temerity to point out that the party establishment says one thing but does another. He launched his campaign by calling the GOP’s bluff on immigration: If the 11 million people here without documents are really “illegal,” as the party loudly proclaims, then send them home. Other candidates were put in the position of having to explain why, after claiming that President Obama was somehow “soft” on immigration, their position on allowing the undocumented to stay is basically the same.

Also, the party has long sought to capitalize on fear of terrorism by haranguing the president for not using the exact phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” (as if semantics could bring peace to Syria). So when, after the San Bernardino attack, Trump called for banning Muslims from entering the country, much of the Republican base was receptive. Other candidates had to backpedal and remind voters that George W. Bush made clear his “war on terror” was not a war against Islam.

Trump has given voice to the ugliness and anger that the party spent years encouraging and exploiting. He let the cat out of the bag, and it’s hungry.

The party might nominate Trump, in which case the establishment will have lost all control. Or party leaders might somehow find a way to defeat him, in which case they will have lost the allegiance of much of the base. In either event, the GOP we once knew is irredeemably a thing of the past.

Baby rides shotgun at bistro H

erald reader Tracy Turney sent me an email about a waitress at a Bothell cafe who works the tables with a baby boy on her back.

“Little Syd has a fan club that grows by the week,” Turney wrote about the toted tot.

“They’re an adorable couple.

Come see them at Jantee Bistro & Bottle.”

I went to the bistro in Country Village to find out what was up with that.

I found former software engineer Sara Thibadeau, 39, bustling about with 13-month-old Syd in the saddle.

As she puts it: “I wear him to work.”

While she serves, he works the room from the back carrier.

“I sometimes forget he is there, especially if he’s asleep,” she said.

“Unless he’s snoring.”

She often doesn’t actually see him until the end of the shift.

Others can’t take their eyes off of him.

“We look forward to being served by Syd when we come in,” said regular Kathi Ryan, of Edmonds, as she had breakfast with friends.

First-timers are in for a surprise.

“When they walk in, they don’t even notice,” Thibadeau said. “When I turn around to seat them they are, ‘Oh, my God, there’s someone on your back.’ ” It’s not her first stint at waitressing, but it’s different this time around.

“I always joke when I waited tables in my 20s I’d wear a short skirt to earn tips. Now I’m almost 40 and I wear a baby,” she said.

The tips are good when she wears Syd. “People will say, ‘This tip is for Syd for his college fund’ and give me a few bucks extra,” she said.

“He’s just a happy guy. I need a break before he does.”

After all, he weighs about 20 pounds.

Syd was born five weeks premature, so she started “wearing him” to provide additional

“People say ‘Are you a stay-athome mom or do you work?’” she said. “I don’t know how to answer that question.”

Her mom, Janis Stave, and a friend, Tina Holden, opened the bistro in July 2014 in the space that was Country Cafe for more than 30 years. It has 15 tables, a bar, patio seating for 50 and a lunch menu that includes roasted beet salad, portobello wrap and meatloaf melt.

the chat Lars Jangaard and Lindsey Taylor-Jangaard POLAR BEAR PLUNGERS This will be the seventh year Lars and Lindsey have kicked off the new year with the polar bear plunge at Brackett’s Landing in Edmonds.

The chilly dip by the Edmonds ferry dock was started in 2008 by Lindsey’s uncle, Brian Taylor, owner of Daphnes Bar, and Edmonds Uplift Society, a group of bar regulars who wear special bathrobes.

Money raised is donated to Edmonds Historical Society and Museum.

Lindsey, 27, is a Bothell native. Lars, 30, grew up in the Lake Goodwin area of Stanwood. Both work at Amazon.com.

What are you wearing?

Lindsey: My Edmonds Uplift Society robe, an unattractive brown one-piece swimsuit purchased on clearance specifically for the plunge, beanie and sunglasses.

Lars: A robe, a swim suit and wet suit booties.

Why do you plunge?

Lindsey: I plunge to raise money for the Edmonds Museum and because I was pressured into it by my family years ago.

Now it’s just our tradition.

Lars: It’s the best way to wash away the previous year and bring in the new year.

If you could plunge with anyone alive or in history who would it be?

Lindsey: The rapper/actor Ice Cube, so he could earn the name.

Lars: MacGyver. He’s my hero.

Three things in your plunge toolkit: Lindsey: 1. A herd mentality.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Everybody’s doing it! 2. A change of clothes for right after. 3. My grandma, Shirley Moses, cheering us on (or shaking her head) at the beach while we plunge.

Lars: Rainier beer. Plunger. Swiss army knife.

Do you practice to plunge?

Lindsey: Nope. I just try to fortify myself with a Rainier beer and march right in.

Lars: I was born to plunge. I’m Norwegian.

What’s the craziest or best thing that ever happened in a plunge?

Lindsey: The best thing that happened at the plunge was Bill Lindsay (aka Edmonds Beach Water Temperature-Taker Dude) came by and told us just how cold the water was that day: 44 degrees!

Lars: The year the Daphnes bartender, Desmond, did the plunge. As soon as he hit the water he turned and ran, yelling to his wife, “Kimmy! Where’s my robe?!”

INSIDE: Comics, 2

|

Biggest worry as a plunger: Lindsey: Being trampled by my fellow plungers and washing ashore like a frozen beached whale.

Lars: Being sure I have a table at Rory’s after the plunge.

Did you ever consider not taking the plunge?

Lindsey: I consider not taking the plunge every single year when we’re lining up at the beach. And every year Lars pulls me in.

Lars: NO! It’s the best way to start the year.

What do you want people to know about plunges?

Lindsey: I can’t speak for all plunges, but for the Edmonds plunge, I want people to know that it isn’t that bad. The pain is short-lived, then you get to go warm up and eat lunch.

Lars: It is proven to improve your health.

It cures the New Year’s Day hangover, reduces swelling and kills the common cold.

What’s your dream plunge?

Lindsey: My dream plunge is one that isn’t cold. Maybe Maui.

Lars: Plunging in Russia.

Why do you think you are so good at plunging?

Lindsey: Lars pulls me in.

Lars: I was born for this, I’m Scandinavian. I have also trained all my life for this.

I grew up on Lake Goodwin and swam during the winter.

What’s your most proud (non-plunging) moment?

Lindsey: A recent proud moment was pulling off our wedding in August. We had no idea how to plan something that big, but with everyone’s help it turned out

Gift list on mirror helps husband

DAILY CROSSWORD

While I’m away, readers give the advice.

On spouses who have zero knack for choosing gifts: My sweet husband died at age 54 in 2009. He was always trying to give me things. On special dates he would try, but he never could remember what it was that I wanted or needed.

I started writing on the mirror anything that I might like, cheap to expensive, to give him a choice. It was so easy to make the list: As I thought of what I needed, I just scribbled it on the mirror. It took the stress off him and gave him clear ideas. The year he was diagnosed terminal for Christmas, he bought me the whole list.

I miss him so much.

— V. On taking the crazy out of youth sports: As a youth baseball umpire, I witnessed more than my share of bad behavior by coaches and by parents, but one good experience stands out. I was behind the plate at a preteen game. I called a strike on the batter, who complained bitterly, tossing up his hands and generally behaving badly. His manager stopped play and called the kid over. “What did the umpire call?” he asked the kid. “A strike,” the kid said in disgust. “Then it was a strike,” said the manager. “Now get

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT back in the batter’s box.” Lots of good lessons there.

— J. On how simple kindness can sustain a complex relationship: Two things have been a basis for our 26-year marriage, which continues to grow and thrive. Every morning before he leaves for work and every evening when he returns, we have a big bear hug. Second, we thank each other for everything we do for the good of the household.

He says, “Thank you for a delicious dinner.” I say, “Thank you for taking out the trash.” These ordinary acts are all consistently acknowledged.

When you are saying thanks for something specific, you must be fully present. Plus everyone enjoys praise and gratitude.

CLASSIC PEANUTS

Twenty-five extra pounds don’t make a woman any more or less attractive to me at all. Just make sure you wear clothes that fit your current body shape, i.e., don’t try to hide any unwanted weight by always wearing really baggy, oversize things, because that can backfire and make you look bigger than you really are — but also don’t pretend you are your preferred weight and wear clothes that are too small for you. If you should happen to lose those pounds, buy new outfits that fit your new body shape.

Get a trusted friend or salesperson to help you, because you are predisposed to see yourself as unattractive, when you’re not.

If you were my girlfriend (or potential girlfriend) I would not ask or want you to lose weight. If you chose to lose weight because you wanted to, I would support you, as long as you go about it sensibly and aren’t continually complaining about your current weight through a mouthful of candy. Occasional whinges are OK, but constant griping is not.

That is, either accept yourself as you are — and there’s nothing wrong with how you are — or make a change, but don’t complain and do nothing.

Mom worries that kids get attention only for looks Dear Abby: All children are beautiful to their parents. My three children are of mixed race and get a lot of attention because of it.

The boys are aloof about random compliments they receive from strangers. However, I’m worried about the pressure it may put on my daughter to be “pretty.”

I care more about my daughter’s character than her looks, but I’m concerned that if I say that to these people, it will come off as rude. Also, I don’t want her to think I don’t think she’s pretty. How can I respond in a way that isn’t rude to well-intentioned strangers, but at the same time allows me to make a statement about the importance of character over beauty? — Mom of Beauties Dear Mom: When someone exclaims that your child is beautiful, accept the compliment and say something like this: “Yes, my child IS beautiful, but more important, she is beautiful on the inside.” It will reinforce the message to your daughter that character is equally, if not more important, than physical beauty.

Dear Abby: Isn’t the rule of etiquette that when a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient? My mother sends gifts to our infant daughter. She is the first grandbaby, and my mother is a doting grandparent.

My question is what should happen when my child outgrows the items — clothing, shoes, toys, etc. My mother expects me to put them all in a storage bin and return them to her.

There have been times when I have packed up things to give to friends who have younger daughters than ours, or taken RIP HAYWIRE

them to a resale shop. My mother then becomes upset that I’m not returning the items to her. She is saving them for my sister, who isn’t even pregnant yet.

While I have no issue with saving some things for a potential niece, my friends need these things NOW, and I feel strange essentially being obligated to return them. Is my mom out of line? — Confused in Central Texas Dear Confused: It appears your mother is not only a doting grandma, but also someone who is determined to get a double bang for her buck. Once given, a gift DOES belong to the recipient. Otherwise, it’s not a gift but a loan.

And yes, however wellintentioned your mother may be, she is out of line to demand that everything she has given be returned to her. (I mean, what will she do if your sister has only boys?)

Dear Abby: When I’m dining out, sometimes the flatware is wrapped and banded in a large paper napkin. Do I use this napkin for cleaning myself, or do I ask for more napkins?

— Unsure In Connecticut Dear Unsure: Place the napkin in your lap, and if you would like to have more, do not hesitate to ask your server. It is not a breach of etiquette to do so.

BRIDGE Today’s deal comes from an event in France years ago.

The bidding strikes me as weird. I can accept North’s 1NT as an attempt to describe his hand in a competitive auction. His two spades, after South showed a minimum with long diamonds, was inexplicable.

Against three diamonds, West led the K-A of hearts.

Declarer ruffed, led a spade to dummy and returned a trump to his jack and West’s queen.

South played low from dummy, took his king and led the king of trumps to West’s ace. Desrousseaux then led the seven of clubs. Declarer might have guessed what was going on from the bidding, but he played low from dummy. East took the ten and returned a club to West’s ace for down one.

Maybe North was left wondering why he hadn’t passed South’s two diamonds.

Associated Press

Acclaimed abstract artist dies at 92 Associated Press SPENCERTOWN, N.Y. — Ellsworth Kelly, a painter, sculptor and printmaker whose work over seven decades made him one of America’s leading abstract artists, has died. He was 92.

Kelly’s Manhattan gallerist, Matthew Marks Gallery, said he died Sunday at his upstate New York home. Peter Wenk, the owner of a funeral home near Kelly’s home studio in Spencertown, on Monday confirmed Kelly’s death but couldn’t provide any other details, such as the cause. In recent years, the artist had been suffering from lung ailments.

Born in Newburgh in New York’s Hudson Valley in 1923, Kelly grew up in New Jersey and enrolled in art school in New York City in 1941.

He left school during World War II, when he painted camouflage patterns on fake tanks and other military objects produced by a special Army unit to deceive the Germans. Among his comrades was Bill Blass, the future fashion designer.

Kelly moved to Paris after the war to study art.

He returned to New York in the mid-1950s to begin creating the boldly colored geometric paintings that were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, as well as in museums and galleries across the United States and Europe.

there he would create one of his signature works, “The Chatham Series,” 14 L-shaped monochrome panels that were first displayed in 1972 at the

Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.

He later built a new studio on property a few miles away in Spencertown, near the Massachusetts border.

He lived there with his longtime partner, Jack Spear, a photographer and collector.

Matthew Marks, who has sold and exhibited Kelly’s work since the early 1990s, said the artist was still in demand and thus creating right up to the end, with various paintings and sculptures in the works.

“He was amazing,” Marks told The Associated Press. “It’s like he kept getting better and better.”

Top Craigslist posts of 2015

By Jessica Contrera

Another man looked up, threw his bag and coffee to Tiffany and chased after the thief. “And I won’t lie to you, I liked it a lot and it was incredibly hot,” Tiffany wrote. She was hoping the chivalrous crime-chaser would roundhouse-kick the thief — “would have kicked his head off completely. Trust me. I am from Cleveland and that’s how it works. As the moment of impact neared, I was hoping you would try to kick his head toward me. And then use that as an opening to ask for my number ...”

It didn’t work out quite like that, as the thief turned on the man, beat him up and ran away. But still, Tiffany would like this guy’s number. “Let’s get some sushi and talk about society together,” she wrote in the personal ad. What a lovely story to tell their kids someday.

7. Just a Batmobile: The seller writes lovingly about his blue race car look-alike, which he clearly put a lot of time into. It even has a flame-thrower. But there’s no mention of why he’s giving it away now. There’s got to be a story there.

6. Living Elf on the Shelf: “For $100/hour I will come to your holiday party dressed as the Elf on the Shelf and sit in any location you assign me while I stare emptily at your guests for the duration of the event.”

5. About that nail-clipper costume: We have so many questions about why this was a thing, none of

The Washington Post

No matter how high-tech the world becomes, it seems there is always a place for good ol’ Craigslist. Do you need a couch, a boyfriend or a life-size nail-clipper costume? Look no further than the classified advertisements website, which turned 20 years old this year.

According to its website, more than 60 million people in the United States use Craigslist each month.

So among your average “brown wooden bookshelf” or “2001 Subaru Forester,” there’s bound to be an abundance of weird.

Throughout the year, users nominate advertisements for a collection called the “best of” Craigslist. Here are the 10 bests of the “best of” this year.

10. “Procrastination station”: “Ooh, now that sounds like my life,” you say as you click on the ad.

It opens. Oh. It’s just a desk.

But wait! “The Bottomless Drawer is guaranteed to lose bills you can’t afford, homework you don’t understand, and divorce papers you aren’t ready to sign.”

9. Super Mario Brothers professional help: “Help plz,” this post says. “I can’t beat the Vanilla Dome in Super Mario World for SNES. I’ve tried 476 times.”

8. Crime witness in love: A woman named Tiffany was standing at a bus stop when a man snatched an old woman’s purse nearby.

which are answered in this Craigslist ad. The seller does brag about the quality materials built into this costume, which “won’t win the costume contest.” Also, warns this seller, “Women won’t flock to you.”

4. Space in fort, bring pizza: “MY GIRLFRIEND SAID SHE WANTED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT ME BEING TOO CHILDISH, BUT SHE DIDN’T KNOW THE PASSWORD TO GET IN.” 3. Naked dumpster diver: There’s just not an SFW way to explain this one, so we’ll let you just read it for yourself: www.craigslist.org/about/ best/ksc/4803254342. html 2. Skeleton snowblower: In an advertisement for a Johnson snowblower, all seems totally normal. “It’s the perfect snowmobile for this Winter in Minnesota, and you can ride it all year,” the seller writes. He or she says nothing about this snowblower’s one little quirk: There is a VISIBLE SKELETON LYING BENEATH THE SEAT. 1. T-Rex bike: Skeleton snowblower was not the only bones-related vehicle on Craigslist this year. “This wonderful rideable dinosaur, this fulfilment of my childhood dreams, needs to go to someone who likes being the center of attention, likes making the news whenever they’re out in public, and likes inspiring joy and wonder in the faces of children.”

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

Sara Thibadeau takes an order as she carries her 13-month-old son, Syd on her back at Jantee Bistro & Bottle Shop in Bothell.

Baby: ‘We’re a package deal’ From Page A3

The bistro is where Syd took his first step and learned to like Brussel sprouts.

“He loves the dishwasher,” Syd’s grandma said. “A couple weeks ago I taught him how to turn on the mixer. Then he discovered the big Hobart mixer and, boy, he got excited when he saw that.”

Customers gave Syd toys, books and stuffed animals at Christmas this year.

Country Village’s festive holiday setting brought

in more business. “Santa brings more customers who don’t normally come,” Thibadeau said.

But the new year came with bad news: a rent hike.

“With the increased rent it didn’t make sense to continue,” she said.

“The restaurant is doing well, but it can’t absorb that increased cost. We had to call it quits.”

Jantee Bistro & Bottle is closing for good at 4 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily until then.

It’s not the only change

for the quirky shopping village on Bothell Everett Highway with a giant rooster landmark and live chickens running around.

Iron Horse Railway’s pony and train rides that have been a fixture since 2003 are ending this week, too, due to increased property values.

Thibadeau said her mom plans to keep on cooking. “She is going to do catering.”

As for Sara and Syd? They’ll land somewhere together.

“We’re a package deal,” she said.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Use your creative imagination to bring about opportunities this year, and you will discover possibilities and goals that are within your reach. Your ability to pull things together and turn a little into a lot will take others by surprise and put you in a good position for future growth. Embrace change and take control and you will reach your destination. Your numbers are 1, 4, 16, 27, 34, 39, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not see eye-to-eye with everyone, but listening will give you a broader perspective. An offer from someone you have worked with in the past will lead to an interesting position. Don’t allow anger or negativity to hold you back. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Planning a business trip or signing up for a course that will help you get ahead in the new year will give you reason to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Romance is in the stars and will enhance your personal life. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emotional deception and impractical plans will be costly if you don’t regroup and reconsider the pros and cons. Look for ways to stabilize your situation in order to build greater security for you and the ones you love. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Find a way to cut corners. A better budget or lower overhead will help you avoid disagreements over money matters and keep you on track with paying down debt. Property investments and other assets and possessions could yield a profit. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone with experience and knowledge will help you make an important decision. Change won’t be easy, but it will be necessary if you want to achieve your goals. Do what’s best for you and don’t feel guilty if you can’t please everyone. ★★★

Meadowlark Lemon played 24 seasons with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Globetrotters’ Meadowlark Lemon dies at 83

By John Marshall Associated Press

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Meadowlark Lemon, the “clown prince” of basketball’s barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters, whose blend of hook shots and humor brought joy to millions of fans around the world, has died.

He was 83.

Lemon’s wife and daughter confirmed to the team that he died Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz., Globetrotters spokesman Brett Meister said Monday. Meister did not know the cause of death.

Though skilled enough to play professionally, Lemon instead wanted to entertain, his dream of playing for the Globetrotters hatched after watching a newsreel of the all-black team at a cinema house when he was 11.

Lemon ended up becoming arguably its most popular player, a showman known as much for his confetti-in-the-water-bucket routine and slapstick comedy as his half-court hook shots and nolook, behind-the-back passes.

A sign of his crossover appeal, Lemon was inducted to both the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the International Clown Hall of Fame.

“My destiny was to make people happy,” Lemon said as he was inducted into the basketball hall as a contributor to the game in 2003.

Lemon played for the Globetrotters during the team’s heyday from the mid-1950s to the late1970s, delighting fans with his skills with a ball and a joke. Traveling by car, bus, train or plane nearly every night, Lemon covered nearly 4 million miles to play in over 100 countries and in front of popes and presidents, kings and queens. Known as the “Clown Prince of Basketball,” he averaged 325 games per year during his prime, that luminous smile never dimming.

“Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible

East Los Angeles College football coach Eric Marty was recently named one of “30 Under 30” coaches who were selected to attend the American Football Coaches Association national convention in San Antonio.

Burning with passion Eric Marty, a former Meadowdale High School quarterback who is now a 29-year-old head football coach at East Los Angeles College, has been recognized as one of the top young coaches in the nation.

YNNWOOD — Four years ago, Eric Marty scraped together some money and headed to the annual American Football Coaches Association national convention in San Antonio where he hoped to come up with some connections and, ultimately, a job.

In the coming days Marty will head back to the AFCA convention, again in San Antonio, but this time under different

See LEMON, Page C8

circumstances. He now has a job as the head football coach at East Los Angeles College, and he will travel as an expenses-paid guest of the AFCA. The 29-year-old Marty, a 2004 graduate of Meadowdale High School, was recently named one of “30 Under 30” coaches to attend the association’s inaugural leadership institute. At the January convention, those 30 young coaches will participate in a day of interactive lectures on topics including ethics, leadership, NCAA rules, financial

management, hiring, and player safety.

The program, AFCA executive director Grant Teaff said in a statement, “is the beginning of something I think will be important for the future. These coaches will train to be leaders in making our great game safer.”

For Marty, it is special opportunity not only for the recognition, but also as a chance to mingle with some of the game’s brightest young coaching minds.

The selection, he said, “is really, really cool. It feels fantastic

to gain notoriety within the coaches’ association.”

Marty’s journey in coaching actually began in his years at Meadowdale, where he was not only the football team’s starting quarterback, but also the starting goalie on a state championship soccer team. Though he probably had a more promising future in soccer, he knew he wanted a football coaching career even then, so he went on to play that sport at Chapman See MARTY, Page C8

Could Lynch return to Seahawks’ practice Wednesday?

RB’s return does not mean he would play Sunday against Cardinals

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who had abdominal injury on Nov. 25, has missed Seattle’s past six games.

NBA, C2

RENTON — While the Seattle Seahawks spent Monday trying to regroup from their 23-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, they received a piece of positive news that could provide a big boost heading into the playoffs: Marshawn Lynch could be back “on site” Wednesday.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll addressed the media Monday afternoon at the Virginia Mason

Baseball, C6

Athletic Center, and he revealed that injured star running back Lynch could return to the team and rejoin practice this week.

“He’s got a big day today and a big day tomorrow working out, and we’ll see how that goes,” Carroll said. “From what I understand he has a chance, if those days go back-to-back and he does well, that he might be in here for Wednesday. We’ll see.”

Lynch has taken the unusual route of working out on his own “off site” ever since undergoing

surgery to repair an abdominal injury on Nov. 25. The original prognosis was that Lynch could be back in three or four weeks following surgery. However, the weeks passed not only without Lynch returning to the field — he’s missed the past six games — but with Lynch not even returning to the team. Reports later revealed that Lynch was undergoing his rehabilitation with mixed martial arts trainers See SEAHAWKS, Page C5

The WHL’s moratorium on trades came to a thundering halt Saturday evening and the dealmaking hasn’t slowed much since.

The Red Deer Rebels made the first big splash when they acquired 19-year-old forward Jake DeBrusk from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for 18-year-old forward Lane Pederson, a 2016 third round bantam pick and a 2017 first round pick.

The Rebels are gearing up to play host to the Memorial Cup next spring. Red Deer (24-12-00, 48 points) is currently second to Lethbridge in both the WHL Eastern Conference and Central Division standings.

DeBrusk was the 14th overall selection in the 2015 NHL draft by the Boston Bruins and scored nine goals with 17 assists in 24 games this season for the Broncos.

On Monday it was announced the Rebels had acquired the rights to Taden Rattie from the Portland Winterhawks for a fourth-round bantam pick.

Rattie, the younger brother of St. Louis Blues prospect Ty

Rattie, had committed to Western Michigan, but was expected to sign with Red Deer and join the Rebels as soon as possible.

Thunderbirds add Schumacher Swift Current (10-21-3-1, 24 points) isn’t trying to hide its role as a seller with the Jan. 10 trade deadline approaching. The Broncos also dealt Swedish left wing Andreas Schumacher to the Seattle Thunderbirds.

In order to the get down to the league-mandated maximum of two foreign-born players the T-Birds released left wing Gustav Olhaver, who was subsequently claimed by Swift Current on waivers.

Schumacher, a native of Stenungsund, Sweden, had two goals and one assist in 17 games with the Broncos.

Tri-City acquires Stewart The Tri-City Americans received the rights to Mackenze Stewart from the Prince Albert Raiders in exchange for defenseman Mark Drohan and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2017 bantam draft.

The Vancouver Canucks selected Stewart in the seventh round of the 2014 draft. Stewart has spent time in the AHL and ECHL this season, but has been assigned by Vancouver to the Americans for the remainder of the season.

A glance at the U.S. Division Parity was the theme of the first half of U.S. Division play, and very

little has changed one game into the second half. Seattle (19-12-3-0) still leads Everett (19-12-0-2) by a point in the standings, while Spokane (18-13-3-1) is tied with the Tips for second place in points. Everett has played one fewer game than Seattle and two fewer than Spokane.

Portland is just five points back at 17-16-1-0.

World Junior tourney The Americans and Canadians didn’t have to wait long to face one another at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

The two squads squared off in the first game of round robin play Saturday and the Americans came away with early North American bragging rights in the form of a 4-2 victory.

Mathew Barzal of the Seattle Thunderbirds scored Team Canada’s first goal in the defeat.

No fewer than three Thunderbirds are playing in the tournament. Seattle’s Scott Eansor is skating for the Americans while teammate Alexander True is playing with Denmark.

Barzal had a goal and an assist in Canada’s 6-1 Monday victory over the Danes while True scored the lone goal for Denmark. Team Canada finished with 58 shots on goal during the victory over Denmark.

The Americans dropped a 1-0 decision to Sweden Monday.

NBA suspends Barnes 2 games for fight with Fisher Associated Press NEW YORK — The NBA suspended Memphis Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes two games without pay Monday for what the league said was a “physical altercation” with Derek Fisher and for “threatening” the New York Knicks coach in October.

The league investigated the Oct. 3 incident in Redondo Beach, California, between Barnes and Fisher — former teammates with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2010-12.

The Grizzlies had just wrapped up a week of training camp, and a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press in October the incident occurred while Fisher attended a gathering at the home of Barnes’ estranged wife,

Gloria Govan. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no details were publicly released.

Redondo Beach police responded to an incident Oct. 3 but disclosed no information on the location or who was involved after finding no basis for criminal charges.

Barnes’ suspension will begin Tuesday night when the Grizzlies host Miami and includes Saturday night’s game at Utah.

The Grizzlies were off Monday after playing back-to-back games over the weekend.

The Grizzlies traded for Barnes on draft day in June. Barnes has played 33 games with the Grizzlies (17-16) and is averaging 8.6 points and five rebounds per game.

Fisher is in his second season

with the Knicks after spending most of his playing career in Los Angeles.

Suns fire coaches PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns, losers of 15 of their last 20 games, fired assistant coaches Mike Longabardi and Jerry Sichting.

Nate Bjorkgren was promoted to take Longabardi’s job as defensive coordinator. Assistant Earl Watson also was promoted to a bench coach position.

The overhaul of coach Jeff Hornacek’s staff comes after an embarrassing home loss to Philadelphia on Saturday night. The Suns are 12-20 and are 12th in the Western Conference. They entered Monday night’s home game against Eastern Conference leader Cleveland on a fourgame losing streak.

“We’re going to try to get things changed around,” said Hornacek, who was hired in 2013 after stints on coaching staffs at Washington and Golden State.

Former Olympic gold medalist Eriksen dies at 88 Associated Press Norwegian skiing great Stein Eriksen had the perfect hair, the perfect form and typically the perfect line down the course.

So stylish and graceful on the slopes, the Olympic champion helped usher in modern skiing. He died Sunday at his home in Park City, Utah. He was 88.

His death was confirmed by Deer Valley Resort, where Eriksen served as director of skiing for more than 35 years.

Eriksen rose to prominence at the 1952 Winter Olympics in his hometown of Oslo when he captured gold in the giant slalom and silver in the slalom. Two years later, he won three gold medals at the world championships in Are, Sweden.

The charismatic Eriksen became the face of the sport and portrayed it in a new, exciting way. He could perform all sorts of stunts on skis, including somersaults — an

early prelude to the tricks in freestyle skiing.

“He’s a legend,” Norwegian World Cup racer Kjetil Jansrud said.

Although from Norway, Eriksen lived in the U.S. for the last six decades, holding one position after another at various ski resorts around the country. He was director of skiing and a ski school instructor at Snowmass, Colorado. He taught skiing at Sugarbush, Vermont. He even owned his own shop in Aspen, Colorado, in addition to being the ski school director.

There were also stops in Heavenly Valley, California, and Boyne Mountain, Michigan, before settling in at Deer Valley.

“His influence in the ski industry and at this resort was infinite and his legacy will always be a fundamental aspect of Deer Valley,” said Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley president and general manager. “He was a true inspiration.”

Woodard is ‘the real deal’

Though in his first season at Edmonds-Woodway, senior David Woodard has had a major impact on both the football team and the boys basketball team

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

Edmonds-Woodway boys basketball coach Robert Brown likes his team to play a fast-paced style and put up a lot of points.

Adding a player who averages more than 27 points per game makes that task easy.

Senior David Woodard transferred to Edmonds-Woodway from O’Dea midway through his junior year and is in his first year of athletic competition at the school.

To say it’s gone well would be an understatement.

Woodard started the school year by becoming the football team’s best receiver and earning first-team all-league honors.

He’s carried that success over into basketball season, averaging 27. 5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

“He’s the real deal,” Mountlake Terrace head coach Nalin Sood said. “He’s as advertised.”

Mountlake Terrace is one of just two teams to get the better of Woodard and the Warriors this season. Through eight games the Warriors are 6-2, with their only losses coming to the 5-2 Hawks and the 8-0 Cascade Bruins.

The Warriors two losses have come by a combined seven points.

“He makes me a better coach,” Brown said of Woodard. “Every time you get good players they make us better coaches.”

Woodard also makes his teammates better, which may be his most important quality.

“He’s a great practice player.

He’s a competitive player and he’s a great team player,” Brown said. “You wouldn’t know it if you looked at his stats, but he really knows that everyone has to be successful for him to be successful. He pushes that on guys all the time in practice. He wants everybody to be better. It’s not just about him.”

Junior point guard Tre’var Holland, junior forwards Ali Gaye and Ryan Peterson and seniors Jordan Rice and Brady Edwards all have played crucial roles in the team’s early-season success.

But when the Warriors need a bucket, Woodard is the go-to-guy.

“You can go to him and you know he’s going to get you a bucket or he’s going to make a play to get you a bucket,” Brown said. “He’s not one of those kids that’s just going to shoot the

Edmonds-Woodway’s David Woodard walks onto the court during a game against Mountlake Terrace Thursday, Dec. 17.

ball. If it comes up where he can make a play and pass the ball to somebody else and he has confidence in his teammates, he’ll make that pass.”

Sood’s Hawks did a good job of defending Woodard in their 74-72 win over the Warriors Dec. 17, but Woodard still managed to get 18 points.

“Our gameplan wasn’t to stop Woodard, just to make him work as hard as he can,” Sood said. “He’s such a good shooter.

I guess you can compare him to some of the guys that play in college or the NBA where you have to have a short-term memory. You can work and work and work and he’s going to hit something and it’s either going to crush you and you’re done, or you just have to keep making him working for everything, but you’re not going to stop a kid like that.”

Brown said the 6-foot-3 Woodard averaged around 15

points per game as a junior at O’Dea. He’s significantly raised that average this season in large part due to his athleticism and physicality.

“He’s great size on him,” Brown said. “He’s very physical when he goes to the basket. He gets a lot of continuation calls when he’s going to the basket. The fact that he can shoot the basketball, which makes you have to defend him, just enhances the fact that he’s so physical going to the basket.”

Woodward said much of his offensive success comes from being patient.

“I’m just letting the game come to me and taking what’s open,” he said. “I’m really working hard on defense trying to get easy baskets in transition and trying to get to the free-throw line. Once I get open 3s, just make them. Once I make a few, two or three can turn into five or six.”

Woodard has just as much value on defense. His size and strength allow him to guard almost any position on the floor.

When the Warriors played the Cascade earlier in the season, Woodard guarded 6-foot-5 center Isaiah Gotell, who is one of Wesco’s premier big men, and 6-foot-2 guard Drew Magaoay, who is one of the best perimeter players in the league.

With Woodard and a cast of characters who can all score, Brown’s biggest concern is his team not staying focused defensively. In both of the Warriors’ losses they’ve given up 74 points or more.

“It’s a blessing and curse,” Brown said. “The guys sometimes get to a point where they think outscoring is the way to go instead of playing defense.”

The Warriors have proven so far this season they will be a tough team to beat, Woodard hopes that results in a trip to Tacoma in March.

“I thought we would have a good chance of winning almost every single game,” Woodard said. “We lost two tough games so far that honestly came down to only one possession. I expected to be undefeated, but I think we have a good chance of winning a lot of the rest of our games and hopefully going far.”

Pivec leads Lynnwood girls to win in California Herald Staff LIVERMORE, CALIF. — The Lynnwood Royals celebrated Christmas with a trip to the largest girls basketball tournament in the country.

And it didn’t take the Royals long to prove they belonged.

After a close first quarter Monday, Lynnwood outscored Sacred Heart Cathedral 55-31 the rest of the way, as the Royals topped the Fightin’ Irish 75-46 in the opening game in the Platinum Division of the West Coast Jamboree at Las Positas Junior College in Livermore, California.

However, the Royals will continue on in the consolation bracket because of a traveling conflict and will play Oaks Christian, which fell to Bishop O’Dowd 47-40 Monday afternoon, at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at Las Positas.

“The first quarter I think we were kind of feeling each other out a little bit,” said Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards. “They hit a couple of big shots and we were struggling a bit shooting the basketball. But I think in the second quarter we really picked up our defense. We got good separation in the second quarter and starting building momentum to the third quarter and kept it going.”

Mikayla Pivec had 27 points and 14 rebounds to lead Lynnwood (7-0 overall), the defending Washington 3A state champion.

Jordyn Edwards added 13 points and eight steals against Sacred Heart Cathedral (4-4), a perennial strong team and the defending CIF Central Coast Section Open champion.

Kaprice Boston scored 16 points and Reilly Walsh added 10 points for the Royals.

The decisive win wasn’t necessarily the biggest goal for Lynnwood, but helped bolster the Royals’ confidence.

“Everything we do is preparing us for an attempt to defend our league title, then the district and state titles,” Edwards said. “This gives us a chance to play in a new environment. We’ve never played in this gym or against these teams before. It gives us newness and a chance to adjust. It gives us a chance to face adversity and hopefully get a win. But it’s not just about the wins and losses.”

The West Coast Jamboree, currently in its 16th year, is the largest high school girls basketball tournament in the country.

The tournament has 128 teams in 16 divisions with games that takes place at nine venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Lynnwood is in the eight-team Platinum Division, which is made of several perennially strong California teams as well as other top-ranked squads.

The Royals are currently ranked No. 19 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 national rankings.

“It’s a pretty big tournament,” Edwards said. “There’s a lot of teams. We’re in supposedly the highest division in the platinum one.”

Despite the big victory, Lynnwood finds itself in the consolation bracket after a scheduling conflict regarding transportation.

The Royals booked their flights home for late Wednesday evening, thinking the championship would be played by then.

However, the game was scheduled for later and Lynnwood was unable to change its flight itinerary.

As a result, the tournament directors decided the Royals would go through the consolation bracket. Edwards said his team is focused on playing good basketball and excited to get three good games against three quality opponents while in northern California.

“We hope we get three good games even though we can’t win the tournament,” Edwards said.

“But we thought it was a good chance to come out and play three good games. Hopefully, we’ll represent the state of Washington and I think we did that.

“The only championship we worry about is the state championship in Washington.”

Cardinals’ Arians not planning to rest players against Seahawks

By Jose M. Romero Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. — For head coach Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals, Week 17 might as well be Week 1.

In other words, Arians doesn’t plan to rest any top players for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks at home.

The Cardinals have already clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a firstround bye. But the top seed is still at stake.

If the Carolina Panthers lose Sunday to Tampa Bay, the Cardinals, by virtue of a better conference record, can secure the No. 1 spot and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, as long as they beat Seattle.

Arizona (13-2) has won nine straight games and has already clinched the NFC West title with the most wins in a season in franchise history. Now the Cardinals want to play hard to the finish.

“I don’t think you get anything out of resting guys, especially playing a team that’s in

our division and we haven’t beaten them at home in a couple of years,” Arians said Monday. “We don’t want to start a precedent now.”

Defensive tackle Calais Campbell said everything is “flowing right now” for the Cardinals.

“Got a lot of momentum going our way, and every time you go out there and you’re playing good football like we are, you want to keep it going,” Campbell said. “And it’s a division game. Seattle’s definitely a rivalry game, a game that we look forward to playing each and every year. I definitely circled that game on the calendar.”

The Cardinals haven’t beaten the Seahawks at home since the 2012 season.

Seattle has won the past two division championships and gone on to the Super Bowl both times.

Arians said players approached him after Sunday’s 38-8 win over the Green Bay Packers and made it clear how they want to approach this week’s game. He wasn’t

surprised by what he was told.

“They said, ‘Look, we want to win this.’ I said, ‘Of course we do,’” Arians said. “They all feel the same way.”

Arizona leads the NFL in total offense and is fifth in total defense. The Cardinals are the only team in the league to have more touchdowns (57) than punts (55) this season, and the plan is to continue to attack.

“I’m never going to line up to lose,” Arians said.

Campbell said the Cardinals realize they could face the Seahawks in the postseason, so an Arizona win could hurt the Seahawks’ confidence should they meet again later in January. With the Panthers-Buccaneers game going on at the same time as the Cardinals-Seahawks tilt, Campbell will try to avoid scoreboard watching.

“Hopefully, the scoreboard guys do a good job and they show it to us only when it matters,” Campbell said. “If Tampa Bay is doing a good job for us, go ahead and show me. But if not, then I don’t want to see it.”

Broncos top Bengals 20-17 in OT, clinch 5th straight playoff berth Associated Press DENVER — DeMarcus Ware came up with the big play he’s been looking for ever since missing a month with a bad back, and it put the Denver Broncos into the playoffs.

Ware beat AJ McCarron to a fumbled snap in overtime, sending the Broncos into the postseason with a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.

Ware’s recovery followed a 37-yard field goal by Brandon McManus, whose shanked 45-yarder at the end of regulation made necessary the extra drama.

The Broncos (11-4) overcame a 14-0 first-half deficit in clinching their fifth consecutive playoff berth and denying the Bengals (11-4) their first road win on a Monday night since 1990.

“There’s an old saying: ‘It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,’” Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler said. “And this team finished great tonight.”

Cincinnati also blew a chance to earn a bye in the playoffs.

Denver can earn the top seed in the AFC

with a win over San Diego and a loss by New England at Miami next weekend.

Denver, which was in danger of becoming the first team since the 1970 merger to miss the playoffs after starting 10-2, snapped a two-game skid with its third overtime win of the season.

McManus has missed a kick in five consecutive games, and this one wasn’t even close. It sailed wide left — missing the protective netting — to the astonishment of 74,511 fans even though the flags atop the goal posts revealed a complete lack of wind.

The relieved Bengals called tails and the coin landed heads.

Unlike Patriots coach Bill Belichick a day earlier, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak chose to receive, and Denver drove 60 yards in 13 plays. Both Emmanuel Sanders and Owen Daniels limped off during the drive.

Osweiler, making his sixth straight start in place of Peyton Manning, also banged an elbow in the frenetic final minutes but stayed in.

McManus then redeemed himself by splitting the uprights from 37 yards out 5

minutes into the extra period.

Then, it was up to the league’s best defense to seal the deal.

There was an incompletion on first down that the Broncos felt should have been a fumble by McCarron with Derek Wolfe recovering the ball as it skittered downfield, but a review upheld the ruling.

Incomplete.

Second-and-10 from the Bengals 33.

Center Russell Bodine’s shotgun snap sailed past McCarron, making his second start in place of Andy Dalton, and Ware beat him to the loose football at the 23.

Game over.

McCarron had driven the Bengals on two long first-half drives, covering 80 and 90 yards and eating up a total of 16:24 to put Cincinnati ahead 14-0. He threw a 5-yard TD pass to A.J. Green and Mohamed Sanu scooted in from 6 yards out on a direct snap.

After that, he found it tough to sustain drives against Denver’s defense, which is ranked No. 1 against both the run and the pass and held McCarron to 200 yards passing and the Bengals to 3.3 yards a carry.

Raiders’ Pro Bowl fullback Reece suspended four games for PEDs

By Jimmy Durkin San Jose Mercury News

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Marcel Reece’s season with the Oakland Raiders is done after the Pro Bowl fullback was suspended for four games Monday for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Reece, who played at the University of Washington, will miss the team’s season finale in Kansas City on Sunday, the first three games of next season and can no longer participate in the Pro Bowl after being elected for the fourth straight year.

Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio didn’t provide any details on the violation but indicated the team and Reece didn’t think the suspension was warranted.

“I would just hope that at some point the league takes a good look at that process,

see if it makes sense,” Del Rio said. “I think there’s room there for something to be done that maybe would be more fair and just. But we understand what’s occurred and what the result is, and we’ll be abide and carry on without Marcel.”

Del Rio spoke with Reece after learning of the suspension but preferred to keep most of that conversation private.

“I know he’s disappointed and doesn’t feel like it’s really justified,” Del Rio said, deferring any further comment to Reece.

Reece was not available for comment Monday. The suspension was announced just after the team’s open locker room period. Reece wasn’t in the locker room for that session anyway.

Per the NFL’s policy on performanceenhancing substances, a first-time positive test of a stimulant or anabolic agent results in a four-game suspension without pay.

Reece will be eligible to return to the active roster after the third game in 2016 and will lose more than $600,000 in game checks, plus a $100,000 Pro Bowl bonus.

Reece still can participate in all offseason activities and training camp next year, plus the preseason games. With one season left on his contract, it’s no guarantee Oakland will keep him around after his suspension.

The Raiders recently gave fellow fullback Jamize Olawale a three-year extension, and Reece has seen his role decreased to only about a quarter of the team’s offensive snaps.

“He’s not a major part of what we do,” Del Rio said of Reece. “He’s a part of what we do, but it’s not like we’re taking our 50 or 60 or 70 percent of our offense when we remove him. ... Obviously he is a good player. That’s why he was voted to the Pro Bowl, and we like to have our good players.”

in San Francisco, the same trainers he works out with during the offseason.

The Seahawks do not have a team representative in San Francisco monitoring Lynch’s progress. However, Carroll said the reports he’s received from Lynch’s trainers are positive.

“We’re pretty much relying on the reports that they’re giving us,” Carroll admitted. “Those guys know him really well and they’re the ones who the last few years have really done great work with Marshawn.

We’re trusting that they’re looking seriously at the preparation level, his endurance and all of those things to give us a good indication that we can move forward.”

Although Lynch is not undergoing his rehab with the team, Carroll said he was comfortable that Lynch was in good hands. Carroll said the trainers work out many NFL players, though not many Seahawks other than Lynch.

“We have a really good relationship with the guys who are working him out. Longstanding,” Carroll said. “So we’ve had an ongoing connected friendship and background and all that. We feel like we really understand what’s happening.

“They’re not traditional,” Carroll added. “They’re something apart from traditional. They’re extraordinary. They really tax you, and in the process they really challenge a guy mentally and physically. We’ve really come to appreciate the work that they do and how they do it.”

Monday was the first time since the surgery that Carroll mentioned a specific date with regards to Lynch’s possible return. Most of Carroll’s comments regarding Lynch’s timetable the past few weeks have been vague and noncommittal, so Monday’s announcement suggests a return is in sight with the playoffs on the horizon.

However, Carroll also said that if Lynch returns to practice this week, it doesn’t necessarily mean Lynch will step right back into the lineup for Sunday’s regular season finale at Arizona.

“It depends,” Carroll said. “We have to see him playing football and see if everything translates. He’s always come back in really good shape and he’s been fast and strong and had his endurance and stuff like that. We’re kind of hoping that’s the same when the time comes.

“All along it’s been this kind of time-frame, so it would be fitting if he’s able to make it back this week,” Carroll added. “It would be about right.”

Lynch has been Seattle’s workhorse back since arriving in 2010 via trade with Buffalo. From 2010-14 he appeared in 75 of a possible 76 games with the Seahawks, racking up 5,930 yards on 1,346 carries and scoring 54 touchdowns. However, hasn’t had the same durability this season. Lynch missed two games earlier this season because of a hamstring issue before suffering his current ailment. In seven games he has 417 yards on 111 carries and three TDs. Seattle’s running game has not suffered much in Lynch’s absence, particularly when Thomas Rawls was filling in. However, Rawls suffered a season-ending ankle injury of his own three games ago against Baltimore. The past two games the Seahawks went with a running-back committee headed by Christine Michael and Bryce Brown. Seattle still gained 182 yards on the ground in last week’s 30-13 victory over Cleveland. However, the running game stalled Sunday against the Rams, with Michael and Brown combining for just 15 yards on 13 carries.

Extra points Carroll said he thought Sunday’s loss to St. Louis represented a one-off rather than a regression from the team that dominated during the five-game winning streak that immediately preceded it. “After the last six weeks of playing, then you see a game like that, I’m going with the six weeks rather than the last week of how we’re going to be as we move forward,” Carroll said. ... Carroll said strong safety Kam Chancellor (tailbone), tackle Russell Okung (calf) and defensive tackle Jordan Hill (toe), who all sat out Sunday, are making progress and could be back for Sunday’s game at Arizona. If they don’t play Sunday, they’re expected to be available for the first week of the playoffs. Carroll also said tight end Luke Willson, who suffered a concussion Sunday, is already making improvements.

Gauchos stun Huskies

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The UCLA Bruins visit Hec Edmundson Pavilion on Jan. 1. UCLA has beaten Kentucky. UCLA has beaten Gonzaga. So, it can be safely assumed that UCLA will play a more challenging style of basketball than UC Santa Barbara.

The Gauchos, owners of a 3-7 overall record prior to Monday’s game against the Washington Huskies, should have represented to UW a final tuneup before the start of Pac-12 play.

Instead, the Huskies got tuned up, at home, by a team from the Big West.

The magnitude of this disaster — an 83-78 loss before a stunned crowd of 7,376 — is amplified by the fact that league play begins next week, and the Huskies will greet that schedule having lost two of their final three games in nonconference play.

They trailed for nearly the entire game, and UCSB clinched it on a pair of free throws with 9.2 seconds remaining.

Again, the Huskies struggled against a zone defense, too often settling for 3-pointers — they made only 6-of-27 — instead of trying to attack the middle.

They missed their first nine field goals of the game and didn’t make a basket in the first eight minutes, falling behind 13-3 before Noah Dickerson finally ended the drought with a layup.

The Huskies eventually woke up and took a 32-29 lead following a dunk by Malik Dime, but UCSB ended the half on a 9-4 run and led 38-36 at the break.

The start of the second half was similar to the first. UW needed a little more than four minutes to make its first field goal after halftime, at which point the Huskies trailed by 10 points.

They had to claw back. Dejounte Murray, who finished with 15 points, scored on a pair of putbacks and threw a lob to Dime for an alley-oop dunk. David Crisp swished a 3-pointer. Murray scored twice more, on a layup and a one-handed transition dunk, and Dime dunked again to cut UCSB’s lead to 54-53 with 10:58 to play. Crisp and Dime led UW with 17 points each.

But the Gauchos had an answer for everything. They took a 10-point lead with a little more than five minutes remaining thanks to a steal and a pair of free throws by leading scorer Michael Bryson, who also made a long 3-pointer near the end of the shot clock a few possessions prior. He finished with 17 points.

UW made another run. Crisp hit a 3 to cut the lead to four. After UCSB was called for a charge, Andrew Andrews drew a foul and made both free throws to make it 73-71 with 2:43 to play.

But UCSB’s Mitch Brewe, with the shot clock running down, missed a short runner, snagged the offensive rebound and put it back in to put UCSB back ahead by four points. The Gauchos made a pair of free throws to make it a six-point lead.

Crisp hit a 3-pointer to trim the lead back to three, and the Huskies had a chance to tie it when Dime blocked a shot at the rim and Andrews ran the other way with it. But the senior guard missed an off-balance 3, UCSB grabbed the rebound, and UW had to foul with 17.5 seconds left.

The Gauchos made all four of their free throws in the final 18 seconds – including two by Mitch Brewe, a Seattle Prep alum who finished with 11 points – to clinch their first road victory over a Pac12 school since December 2003.

Yanks acquire Chapman

By Howie Rumberg Associated Press

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees bolstered an already dominant bullpen Monday, acquiring hard-throwing AllStar closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor leaguers.

Chapman became available after the Reds’ deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through during baseball’s winter meetings three weeks ago when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban left-hander.

Major League Baseball is currently investigating and Chapman could face suspension under the league’s new domestic violence policy.

“We felt this was an opportunity to add a big arm to our bullpen, even though there are some things that are unresolved,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said in a conference call. “And we will respect that process as it plays out.”

Cashman said the Yankees have had interest in Chapman for several years, but a deal only became affordable when the price for the reliever dropped after the report was made public.

New York was able to protect its top

minor leaguers in the deal, sending right-handers Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis and infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda to Cincinnati. Jagielo was New York’s No. 1 pick in 2013 (26th overall).

The Yankees will have to wait to set up their enviable bullpen of Chapman, Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances until the investigation is done.

MLB has indicated it will take as long as it needs to thoroughly vet the matter.

The league is also investigating domestic violence incidents involving Colorado’s Jose Reyes and the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig.

Davie, Florida, police said there was “insufficient evidence” to charge Chapman in the disturbance between the pitcher and his girlfriend at his South Florida home. The Davie Police Department report listed the Oct. 30 matter as closed.

But after the report’s release earlier in the month, state prosecutors said they were examining the possibility of criminal charges.

“Certainly there are some serious issues here that are in play,” Cashman said. “I acknowledge that’s an area clearly of concern and I think it certainly is reflective of some of the acquisition price and there’s risk, and I understand that.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | Roundup

Navy beats Pitt 44-28 in Military Bowl Associated Press ANNAPOLIS, Md. — How appropriate that Keenan Reynolds’ final touchdown at Navy thrust him into the NCAA record book and secured a milestone victory for the Midshipmen.

Reynolds wrapped up his record-setting college career in spectacular fashion, running for three scores and throwing for another Monday to lead Navy past Pittsburgh 44-28 in the Military Bowl.

After the Midshipmen let a 24-point cushion dwindle to 38-28, Reynolds capped a nine-play drive with a 9-yard touchdown run with 4:19 remaining. It was his 88th career TD, breaking a tie with Kenneth Dixon of Louisiana Tech for most in Football Bowl Subdivision history.

It was classic Reynolds, given that he

broke a slew of records and won a whole lot of games during his four-year run at the Naval Academy.

“To be able to seal the game and get the record at the same time is pretty cool,” the 5-foot-11 senior said.

Reynolds ran for 144 yards on 24 carries, completed 9 of 17 passes for 126 yards and had a reception for 47 yards on a trick play.

He leaves Navy (11-2) as the FBS career leader in touchdowns and points (530).

His 4,559 yards rushing are the most by a quarterback in Division I history.

Quick Lane Bowl Minnesota 21, C. Michigan 14 DETROIT — Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner ran 13 yards for a touchdown with 4:26 remaining, and the Golden Gophers held on for a win over Central Michigan.

With the victory, Lane improved to 11-0.

Marty From Page C1

University in Orange, Calif.

He returned to Meadowdale as an assistant coach while playing professional football in Europe every spring from 2009 to 2012. His first college coaching job was at Oklahoma Panhandle State University, where he spent one year before moving to Moorpark College in Moorpark, Calif., as an assistant for the next two years.

Marty was hired in January at East Los Angeles College, a two-year junior college, and he inherited a program that was lagging in talent, facilities and morale.

Rolling up his sleeves, he spent the ensuing months putting together a staff and a roster, and tackling a lengthy list of neglected issues. Some were glaring, like the lack of an adequate weight room and even a team-wide weight-lifting program. Others were less pressing, but still necessary.

On the morning of the team’s first home game in September, Marty said, “I was at Wal-Mart buying concessions.”

His team went through a difficult season, winning two of its first three games, but then losing the last seven.

Two of those defeats were by one point.

“It was a tough first year,” Marty admitted. “I really thought we’d have a much more successful year, and we were really close at times. It was frustrating and it still burns me because you never want to go 2-8. But as much as it hurts your ego ... the progress was immense, it really was.”

Despite the disappointing record, word is getting out.

There are a lot of football players in and around Los Angeles, and many want to use JC football as a stepping stone to a four-year program. As he prepares for Year 2, Marty is expecting an influx of new talent, including several transfers, and the outlook is promising.

Over the last year, he said, “it was definitely a rebuilding project through and through. You’re constantly trying to evolve what you do to find better and better ways ... and it’s contrasted with your resources. So it was definitely a challenge.”

But as he looks ahead, “I feel pretty good where we’re at.”

His dream, of course, is to climb the coaching ladder.

“My career plan is to be a football coach,” he said, “and I’d like to take it to the highest level I can. I’m not going to be a junior-college coach forever. I’d love to break into Division I coaching at some point and, who knows, maybe even the NFL. Ultimately, that’s the goal for me.”

But in the meantime he labors long hours for a modest salary, and he is truly thankful for the opportunity.

“It’s insane how many people are trying to get into college coaching,” he said. “To be able to be where I am at my age, I’m very, very lucky. I’ve definitely worked hard and made sacrifices, and it hasn’t been lucrative to this point by any means. But for me, this is a great opportunity to be a college coach with a lot of responsibility, and to really develop my skill set.

“One day,” he said, “I hope and believe that I’m going to make a fair amount of money in this business.” But for now, he added, “I really enjoy what I’m doing. I have a lot of buddies that make a lot more money (than me), but they’re probably not half as passionate about what they do.”

Harper recorded three matches with at least 10 blocks, including 10 blocks and 16 kills in the NCAA national quarterfinal vs. Rockhurst.

Her 171 total blocks are the fifthmost in single-season program history and the most since Kris Martin recorded 198 in 1993.

Harper was a first-team AllGNAC selection, and made the

all-tournament teams at the NCAA II West Regional in Anchorage, Alaska, and the NCAA II National Tournament in Tampa, Flordia.

She also was named to the D2CAA West Region second team, the lone freshman to make either the first of second team.

basketball player I’ve ever seen,” NBA great and former Globetrotter Wilt Chamberlain said shortly before his death in 1999. “People would say it would be Dr. J or even (Michael) Jordan. For me it would be Meadowlark Lemon.”

Lemon spent 24 years with the Globetrotters, doing tours through the racially-torn South in the 1950s until he left in 1979 to start his own team.

He was one of the most popular athletes in the world during the prime of his career, thanks to a unique blend of athleticism and showmanship.

Playing against the team’s nightly foil, the Washington Generals, Lemon left fans in awe with an array of hook shots, no-look passes and the nifty moves he put on display during the Globetrotters’ famous circle while “Sweet Georgia Brown”

played over the loudspeaker.

He also had a knack for sending the fans home with a smile every night, whether it was with his running commentary, putting confetti in a water bucket or pulling down the pants of an “unsuspecting” referee.

“We played serious games too, against the Olympic teams and the College All-Stars,” Lemon said. “But that didn’t stop us from putting the comedy in there.”

Lemon became an icon in the 1970s, appearing in movies, including “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh,” numerous talk shows and even a stint in the cartoon “Scooby Doo,” with Scatman Crothers doing his voice.

After leaving the Globetrotters, Lemon started his own team, The Bucketeers, and played on a variety of teams before rejoining the Globetrotters for a short tour in 1994.

Lemon spent the last years of his life trying to spread a message of faith through basketball. He became an ordained minister in 1986 and was a motivational speaker, touring the country to meet with children

at basketball camps and youth prisons with his Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Meadowlark Lemon Ministries.

“I feel if I can touch a kid in youth prison, he won’t go to the adult prison,” Lemon said in 2003.

Born in 1932, Meadow George Lemon III — he lengthened his name after joining the Globetrotters — didn’t have money for a basketball when he was young, so he rigged up a makeshift hoop in his backyard in Wilmington, N.C. Using a coat hanger and onion sack for the basket, he made his first shot with an empty milk can.

Lemon first contacted the Globetrotters before his high school graduation and joined the team in 1954. He missed a game in 1955 because of a bad bowl of goulash in Germany, but that was the last one. What followed was a run, by his calculations, of more than 16,000 straight games that took him to places he never could have imagined.

“I was one of the most fortunate athletes that ever lived,” he said. “I was able to watch history.”
