Reardon: Activity was just routine Under oath, the former county executive denied that he was campaigning for re-election while on taxpayer time. By Scott North and Jerry Cornfield Herald Writers

OLYMPIA — To hear former Snohomish County Executive

Aaron Reardon tell it, the hours he spent talking and texting with his most-trusted campaign consultants and political advisers while at work in 2011 had nothing to do with getting

him re-elected. It was just standard operating procedure, Reardon told an investigator for the state Public Disclosure Commission in October. “It’s been well documented, I am a prolific networker,” he said. “I believe in building relationships. I believe in getting input from the

smartest people around and having them help me govern and navigate. And I do that to this day.” The comments came during a half-hour conversation, under oath, as the commission staff explored allegations that Reardon and then-aide Kevin Hulten campaigned on the taxpayer’s dime in 2011.

Reardon’s answers didn’t convince commission staff, who early this month filed civil charges against the pair at the conclusion of a three-year probe. State investigators determined Reardon illegally used public resources to See REARDON, Page A8

MUKILTEO — The nonprofit organization that runs the Future of Flight Aviation Center has a new name — the Institute of Flight. The change comes 10 years after the group began and as it dives into ambitious plans to turn the center into an attraction to rival the Boeing Tour with which it is paired. The names of the center and tour are not changing. The new name lets people know that the nonprofit group is independent from the Boeing Co., the visitor attraction — the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour — and Snohomish County, which owns the center. The group’s former name — the Future of Flight Foundation — was too close to the center’s, and led people to believe they were one in the same, Institute of Flight Executive Director Bonnie Hilory said. It also made fundraising difficult and obscured the group’s mission to advance aerospace education. The rename will clarify the group’s mission and “remove obstacles by differentiating between us and the attraction,” she said.

Now, the 1,125-acre resort is in full swing with 10 chair lifts running. “There was a lot of skepticism going into this season but the conditions are absolutely awesome right now,” said Stevens Pass spokeswoman Alysa Hetze. “Everyone is hootin’

and hollerin’ and you see smiles on their faces.” Northwest Avalanche Center Director Kenny Kramer said the snow should stick around with several days of cool, dry weather in the forecast for Stevens Pass. “What is it going to do in the future? I’m not certain,” the meteorologist said.

the avalanche danger from moderate to low around the base of the mountain. Moderate avalanche danger remains near and above the treeline because of concern about the wind causing instability by

moving snow, Kramer said. Stevens is known for backcountry access. Before heading off-grid, Kramer warns people to make sure they have the appropriate training and gear in case of an avalanche. More information and forecasts are available on the Northwest Avalanche Center website at nwac.us.

Burglary suspect caught with missing coin By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Alert neighbors and a distinctive coin led to the arrest of a suspect in a Lynnwood-area burglary Monday. A woman called 911 to report that her husband was chasing a man he saw break into a house in the 1900 block of 217th Place SW around 11:30 a.m. When deputies arrived, neighbors pointed to a green Ford

F-150 pickup truck they believed was waiting for the suspect. The pickup took off. A pursuit was stopped for safety reasons when the truck merged onto I-5 northbound at 196th Street. Neighbors said they chased away a skinny man with a hooded sweatshirt before he could get into the pickup. Deputies set up containment and brought in deputy Jim Gibson and his police dog, Jack. The pair tracked the suspect for about

an hour, finding him hiding under a fallen tree near a fastrunning creek in a ravine in the 21300 block of Locust Way. Neighbors then identified him as the man they believe broke into the home. A check of his pockets turned up a commemorative coin from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West museum in Cody, Wyoming. The suspect — an Everett man, 39 — told deputies the coin was his. The homeowners identified the

coin as one they bought at the museum in September. They also reported missing other coins and jewelry from inside the house. The house was ransacked, according to a police report. The police dog tracked several items that deputies believe the suspect discarded along the way. A neighbor reported that the suspect was wearing a large hunting knife on his hip during the chase. When deputies caught

up with the suspect, he wasn’t in possession of a knife but there was an empty sheath attached to his belt. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said the arrest was a good example of neighbors helping neighbors. “The most effective tool in crime prevention is knowing your neighbors,” she said.

Input wanted on sister city plan Lynnwood wants to extend hand of friendship to Damyang, South Korea. By Rikki King Herald Writer

Antanello White,12, and his brother, Antonius, 9, play Monday on what’s left of a cedar after it was damaged during a November storm then cut down in north Everett.

Beloved cedar succumbs to storm

e lived in the forest. That’s how it felt, although my house is on one of Everett’s busier residential streets. For more than 30 years, from the time we moved there in 1984, we watched people marvel at our roadside attraction. Whether they were strolling along with little kids or jogging at a fast clip, people would stop in their tracks on the sidewalk in front of our house. They would look up — not at the sky, but at a gorgeous cedar canopy. They’d look down to examine the base of a massive tree trunk. Almost daily, I’d see out my window these moments of reverie. Even neighbors who walked by every day were in awe of three giant western red cedars in the parking strip in front of my house.

Trees in Everett

JULIE MUHLSTEIN “You’ve been spoiled,” said a man I chatted with Sunday. I see him most mornings, but until last weekend we had never spoken. His comment was in response to me staring — still in disbelief — at the sawed-off stump of the largest of my three cedars. On Dec. 22, a crew hired by the city cut down the most impressive one. The middle tree had split during the Nov. 17 windstorm. One of its multiple tops crashed down. A huge log and

The tree’s removal was a must. I’ll always be thankful no one was hurt by my tree. A neighbor said the cedar struck the back of a Postal Service vehicle, but the mail carrier was spared. I normally park out front, and my neighbors do, too. We were all at work when it happened, and all so lucky. It was a killer storm, and many were left with major

property damage. But having been spoiled by beauty, privacy, shade and a real sense of sharing our space with a natural wonder, I am far from over the loss of that tree. I don’t know how tall it was — I’m guessing hundreds of feet. I don’t know how old it was — my house was built in 1909. I know it was a landmark in my north Everett neighborhood, and one big reason we bought the house. A Google “Street View” photo of my property, taken in 2012, doesn’t even show my house. A bit of the front porch is visible, but the picture is dominated by lush cedar branches shading the yard. Not long before the storm, the city of Everett sent me a letter requesting that big branches over

LYNNWOOD — The city of Lynnwood is getting closer to having a sister city for the first time in recent memory. A group of Lynnwood neighbors and business owners have chosen Damyang in South Korea, a city known for its bamboo, said Gina Israel, who works for the city. The sister city selection group has been meeting for months, Israel said. In particular, the city wanted to involve the Korean community, one of the largest ethnic groups in Lynnwood. Korean families own more than 200 businesses in the city, she said. “We want to know the interest level of the Korean community,” Israel said. “Without them, the program is nothing.” Damyang is similar in size to Lynnwood. Its leaders have been receptive to the sister city idea. Israel happened to be traveling in Asia in October and stopped by and took some pictures. In the future, officials hope to see exchange students and maybe some festivals connecting the people and cultures in Lynnwood and Damyang. “Just exposing Lynnwood to that city and that city being exposed to us,” Israel said. The mayor is expected to make the recommendation to the City Council on Feb. 1. If approved, the new relationship will be put into writing.

‘Bad stuff’ over for retiring Everett emergency chief By Rikki King Herald Writer

front porch

EVERETT — His favorite part of the job was bringing people together. Or, as one friend put it, being “personality and presence in the middle of bad stuff happening.” After 25 years, Dave DeHaan is retiring from the city of Everett. He started as a firefighter here in 1990 and rose to become the city’s director of emergency management. He and his wife, Jennifer Rinaldi, have two

grown children. His retirement ceremony is set for 3:30 to 6 p.m. Jan. 6 in the Weyerhaeuser Room at Everett Station. DeHaan, 55, Dave DeHaan grew up in Spanaway, the youngest son of a retired U.S. Air Force mechanic and a homemaker. His parents loved to camp and travel in a motor home. “We spent a lot of our weekends over the years going to

His dad talked him out of becoming a military police officer or a jet mechanic. They settled on firefighter, and DeHaan joined the Air Force, serving four years near Spokane. For seven years after that, he worked as a civilian firefighter at the U.S. Navy base in Kitsap County. In 1990, his cousin, Sharon DeHaan, was working for the

Muhlstein: New tree can’t replace old DeHaan: Priority From Page A3

the sidewalk be trimmed up. In October, arborist Justina Kraus, co-owner of Everett-based Champion Tree Care, took a look at my trees. In her Nov. 2 letter to the city, she described them as “three mature, Western Red Cedars (Thuja plicata) located in the planting strip.” Kraus asked that two large candelabra branches overhanging the sidewalk, with nearly 7 feet of clearance, be allowed to stay. “This is a historical neighborhood and these are exceptional trees,” she wrote. It was the street side of the tree that split. In the end, my concerns about

saving that lovely cedar canopy over the sidewalk were dashed by nature’s power. The Nov. 17 wind destroyed the whole tree. Now I’m sensing a strange version of “phantom limb,” the condition amputees suffer after losing a body part. I walk outside and it’s far too bright. Is that a house across the street? We used to look out the front window to a wall of evergreen. And we now see the nearby Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, a high-rise with bright lights and a helipad. I’m not the only one missing a tree this season. Marla Carter, a spokeswoman for Everett’s public works department,

said Monday that more than 120 trees fell in city right-of-way areas during the Nov. 17 storm. “That doesn’t count those that fell in people’s yards or on their houses,” she said. My parking strip is a right of way, so the city paid for the cedar’s removal — which I could ill afford. As of this week, Carter said, tree removal costs related to the November storm totaled $141,845, and the sum will likely go higher. The downed cedar belongs to me. I’ve been happy to give it to people willing to chop it up for firewood and haul it away. That has been happening this week. The city plans to grind the stump to just below ground level, cover

it with dirt, and plant grass there. Someday, a new tree may be planted out front. It won’t be a western red cedar. The Everett Tree Program provides free trees for planting in parking strips and other city right-of-way spots. Property owners are then responsible for maintaining the trees. A list of suitable trees, with pictures, is available at the Tree Program webpage. Of about 20 choices, few are evergreens. And most top out at about 30 feet. Every time I go outside, I’m now reminded that I live in a city — not a forest. Julie Muhlstein: 425339-3460; jmuhlstein@ heraldnet.com.

is preparedness From Page A3

“I really admire the sense of community we have here in Everett,” he said. The challenge has been to keep people thinking about preparedness, he said. An earthquake is the No. 1 concern for this part of the country and yet it remains “an amorphous threat” compared to local flooding or winter weather. This year, DeHaan helped the Everett School District with multiple training sessions related to safety, bringing energy and ideas, Assistant Superintendent Molly Ringo said. “He is very enthusiastic and positive yet practical,” she said. DeHaan is the chairman of the governor’s emergency management council and also served on the Snohomish County board of the American Red Cross. Local Red Cross Director Chuck Morrison referred to DeHaan as “personality and presence.” DeHaan is known for being calm and rational, thoughtful and well-connected, Morrison said. He doesn’t take over the conversation, and he listens. “There never seems to be a situation where he has too much to say,” Morrison said. “If he says something,

you better listen.” DeHaan helped Everett develop better relationships with local, state and federal agencies, Fire Chief Murray Gordon said. He worked with honesty, not ego. “I don’t believe I ever saw Dave burn a bridge,” Gordon said. “There are strong opinions and strong people in emergency management who he was able to find common ground with and work with.” That friendliness — as well being a gentleman — is what helped DeHaan get across his message, which was the importance of resilience for the region, said Barb Graff, the director of emergency management for Seattle. “Whether it was mundane business or a crisis situation, he was the kind of person you always wanted to have around,” she said. People trusted DeHaan because of his strong sense of right and wrong, Graff said. “He always found the most complimentary thing to say about a person and kept anything else to himself,” she said. “He cuts through what separates people and focuses in on what brought us together.” Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.

Prisoner release fix was delayed

“Gov. Inslee should value Cougars as much as Huskies — and the safety of our students more than fish,” Schoesler said. Schoesler has focused on $113 million that Inslee recently requested in a supplemental budget to remove more barriers to fish passage across the state. “We already allocated $300 million in the current budget for fish culverts,” Schoesler said. Inslee’s office referred questions to the state Office of Financial Management. That agency said the Legislature would have to take action to speed up construction of passing lanes on the two highways. The governor has proposed more than $1.5 billion for road improvements in eastern Washington through his Connecting Washington package, said David Schumacher, director of OFM.

OLYMPIA — Corrections officials say that a software fix that would have prevented the erroneous release of thousands of prisoners early was delayed 16 times since it was first discovered in 2012. Corrections Secretary Dan Pacholke said Tuesday that it’s still uncertain why that fix never occurred, but that a independent investigation will work to determine that. Officials have said that as many as 3,200 offenders have being wrongly released early since 2002.

So far, they’ve apprehended 24 people who need to serve additional time.

Jay Inslee to take $113 million proposed to improve fish passage and use the money instead to improve the dangerous highways that are heavily used by WSU students. “If that money goes toward anything in Washington state, it should go toward making it safer for our kids to drive our highways,” Schoesler said in a news release this week. U.S. 195 and Highway 26, both predominantly twolane roads, are the main highways that carry people to and from Pullman. Washington State University has about 20,000

students, and many travel long distances on the rural roads to reach campus. A transportation package passed by the Legislature earlier this year allocates money for passing lanes on both roads. But that work is not scheduled to begin on U.S. 195 until 2017 and on Highway 26 until 2025, Schoesler said. The issue of highway safety arose after two WSU students died in traffic accidents and another was seriously injured over Thanksgiving break. Dorene Boyle, of Yakima, parent of a WSU student, started a petition after those accidents to have additional lanes constructed on the highways. Her petition had nearly 6,000 signatures as of Monday. Schoesler complained that Inslee has been willing to pump millions of dollars into improving roads leading to the University of Washington in Seattle.

Emergency crews respond in downtown Anchorage after a small airplane hit a building then slammed into a nearby commercial building early Tuesday, igniting a fire and killing the pilot, authorities said.

1369512

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The pilot of a small plane that smashed into a building in downtown Anchorage on Tuesday was not authorized to fly the aircraft used in volunteer search-and-rescue missions, authorities said. Doug Demarest, 42, of Anchorage, died when the Cessna 172 clipped an office building and slammed into a commercial building, according to the FBI, which is helping investigate the crash. The plane belongs to the Civil Air Patrol, a civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force that is made up of volunteers who help with search and rescue, disaster relief and homeland security across the country, according to a statement from the national group. Demarest joined the patrol

attorney and chief marketing officer based at the firm’s Minneapolis headquarters. Vaaler said he didn’t have any information about the Demarests’ marital status. He also didn’t know if anyone was in the firm’s sixth-floor offices at the time of the crash. Kent Haina, a 747 captain

for UPS, said he was taking out his garbage when he saw the plane go down at a shallow angle and disappear behind a building. He then heard a loud thud and saw a plume of black smoke. Haina said the wind was howling at the time. “(The engine) didn’t sound like it was in trouble, but the weather was pretty windy,” he said. “I said to myself, ‘It’s not good weather to be flying in..’” Clint Johnson, Alaska region chief for the National Transportation Safety Board, said the crash happened amid blustery winds but that the agency is not ruling out anything as a cause. The NTSB looks at pilot error, mechanical problems and weather in its investigations. The plane came in over the shoreline toward downtown and clipped the corner of the office building, where some state employees work. Then it crashed into the lower side of an adjacent multistory commercial building, setting it on fire. Crews responded quickly and had the blaze under

control, fire officials said. The FBI said neither building has structural damage. Vince Maiorano was working as a line cook at Snow City Cafe across the street when he heard the plane strike a transformer. He and a co-worker ran up to the plane to see if anyone was inside, but they didn’t see anybody and were driven back by large flames that overtook the aircraft. “We heard a loud whoosh noise when the transformer went out, and that’s when the power went out on the whole block,” Maiorano said. The commercial building appeared to be unoccupied at the time of the crash, Don Tallman of the Anchorage Fire Department said. Authorities cordoned off an area around the building, closing several roads. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker was among those checking out the scene Tuesday. Because one of the buildings houses state workers, Walker said he wanted to “find out what’s going on.” The Federal Aviation Administration, NTSB and FBI are investigating.

Truck driver arrested after derailment Associated Press MONTESANO — Authorities say an 18-year-old man driving a pickup truck parked on train tracks just east of Montesano, causing a freight train to make an emergency stop that derailed some rail cars. KBKW-AM in Aberdeen reported that no injuries were reported Monday night. Several empty rail cars

came off the tracks but remained upright. Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office said an Aberdeen man was booked into Grays Harbor County Jail for investigation of malicious injury to rail property and other charges. His 19-year-old Montesano passenger is expected to be booked into jail Tuesday. A train conductor told investigators he saw the pickup truck stop on the railroad tracks, drive

off and later stop on the tracks again as the train approached. Crews with Puget Sound and Pacific Railroad were inspecting the tracks Tuesday. Authorities also received complaints of a red truck driving recklessly, knocking over garbage cans and damaging mailboxes. Deputy Chief Steve Shumate said they believe it was “two young kids doing stupid stuff.”

PIZZA

The story behind your local neighborhood business.

Introduce your company with an article in Retales

torytelling. It’s not just for campfires. Businesses around the world love to share stories. Coca Cola’s polar bears speak volumes without ever saying a word. Nike challenges people to live a maverick life and “just do it.” And the face of a former insurance salesman still resonates the success story of a man named Colonel Harland Sanders. Yep, these are all big businesses with hefty piles of advertising dollars to give what people crave: emotional and powerful connections that come through telling a story. But what about the little guys? The mom and pop shops, boutiques, agencies and neighborhood brickand-mortars that want to introduce themselves to the community and distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack? What opportunities do these small business owners have to share their stories? Here’s a hint: insert your business name here and imagine an article and advertising devised just for you. When a business shares its story, it utilizes a practice called brand story marketing. A significant

part of your brand story is capturing the public’s attention and giving people a great memory to recall when they need your type of product or service. The Retales section of The Daily Herald was designed to share your company’s brand story to help you build a successful, sustainable business and a brand that will garner loyalty. The program is affordable and it provides branding frequency and consistency. Advertisers commit to seven full-color ads, designed by The Herald’s art department, to run over 14 weeks. The ad runs every other Wednesday in the Retales section of the newspaper, which is distributed to over 335,000 readers each week. The advertiser also receives 10,000 impressions on HeraldNet.com. At just $235 per ad, Retales is an affordable way for your business to benefit from

the frequency and repetition that makes an ad campaign successful. During your Retales advertising campaign, your business will be featured in a 650-word article written by a journalist who specializes in brand story marketing. A professional photographer will capture an image of you or your business to include alongside the story. There are several ways to deliver your brand story in your article. Entertaining anecdotes, your company’s history, customer testimonials, community involvement, cool new services or products, your hobbies and talents — any of these can be skillfully featured in your article. Let’s take a walk down the Retales memory lane to see how a few brand stories came to life. At Prospector Liquidation in Everett, the store has a beloved mascot

named Prospector Pete. For the store’s November 2013 story, Prospector Pete starred in a holiday-themed tall tale about the founding of the company. Scott McMillan’s business in Monroe is all about two-wheel and four-wheel fun, so focusing on the fun factor in the article about Adventure Motorsports was a must. McMillan shared his love for quadding with his kids, finding adventure at Rimrock Lake and hanging out with members of the Star Chapter 428 Motorcycle Enthusiast Club. Plus, he was able to include details about favorite products at his store. Earning a few gray hairs while teaching your teen to drive became the theme for A-1 Auto Service Center’s article in July. The theme provided a backdrop for car maintenance tips and three testimonials from parents with teen drivers who received upstanding service and education from the A-1 team in Everett. At Monroe Fireplace, it’s all about the seasons. For the cooler months, a discussion about zone heating was appropriate for the company’s Retales article

in August. When sunshine was on everyone’s mind, the topic du jour was grilling, and manager Damon White was proud to admit in a playful summertime article that he is a Certified Egghead who loves to grill food on one of Monroe Fireplace’s most popular

products, a Big Green Egg. To learn more about the Retales program or reserve your own advertising campaign, contact 425-3393030 or sales@heraldnet. com. Also inquire about discounts for The Herald’s Daily Deal program for Retales customers.

Reardon: Former aide’s statements contradict evidence From Page A1

support his successful reelection effort, including placing Hulten on his staff and allowing him to engage in campaign activities at work. Both men now face thousands of dollars in fines. Hearings are tentatively scheduled for February. Reardon and Hulten both have since moved to California. Although they have left Washington and its political scene, meaningful enforcement still is important if the allegations are true, said former state auditor Brian Sonntag. “The PDC needs to rule not just to make them an example but to be an example to those who are in elected office and would seek to be,” said Sonntag, who earned a reputation for his ethical practice of politics. “You still have got how many hundreds of people in elected office in this state and it is important they know that if you shield the public from what you’re doing, and if you use state resources in the conduct of your campaign, it’s wrong and it’s illegal,” Sonntag said. Reardon resigned in 2013 after a series of stories in The Daily Herald revealed his misconduct before, during and after the 2011 election. Hulten quit his county job after homemade pornography was found on one of the county computers he’d

Having “foundation” in the group’s name also hampered fundraising. Private foundations are a major source of money

been using. Investigators also recovered electronic fingerprints that showed him digging for dirt and encouraging government investigations of Reardon political rivals, particularly his 2011 election opponent, Mike Hope, then a Republican state representative from Lake Stevens. State investigators spoke with Reardon in an October phone interview. At the time, he was subject to a civil subpoena. The conversation was recorded and took place after Reardon was placed under oath. The Daily Herald obtained a copy under state records laws. Reardon didn’t dispute that phone bills for his county-issued cellphone show hundreds of calls and texts between him and several campaign consultants during the months leading to the 2011 election. He insisted, however, there was nothing amiss. The consultants who were then helping him strategize and raise money and create TV commercials for his campaign also were longtime personal advisers, Reardon said. Any conversations were about issues he faced as an elected official, not his re-election bid, he said. When the commission investigator told Reardon that his former fundraising consultant already said the phone conversations were all campaign-related, Reardon insisted otherwise.

“That would not be accurate,” he said. Commission staff also attempted to interview Hulten, without success. Their report on the investigation says he did not respond to multiple subpoenas. Hulten in April 2014 did submit 38 pages of statements and exhibits, in which he urged the election watchdogs to dismiss the case. “As a Democraticallyminded single person with a vested interest in ensuring my continued employment, in 2011 I volunteered my time — exclusively outside of work — to volunteer for the Re-Elect Aaron Reardon campaign,” he wrote. Hulten acknowledged that the commission received documentation from the county showing him engaged on various aspects of Reardon’s campaign, but he insisted the materials weren’t stored on county equipment. Those who think otherwise don’t understand cloud-based data storage services such as Dropbox, he wrote. “I did not do work on any of these projects or documents while using my work computer or laptop, nor did I conduct the work on county time, nor did Aaron Reardon instruct me to work on them,” he wrote. “Any information that was shared with the campaign was done by me as a private

citizen on my own time.” Hulten’s statement doesn’t address a memo recovered from one of the county computers he used, in which he complained about insufficient reward from Reardon for engaging in what he described as political “black hat jobs.” He also didn’t explain evidence King County detectives recovered through forensic analysis of the computers Hulten used. Among other things, that work showed Hulten repeatedly using a county laptop to develop Reardon’s campaign website in July 2011. Reardon told investigators he brought Hulten on staff in January 2011 at the recommendation of state Sen. Steve Hobbs, who at the time was Hulten’s boss. Reardon said he had seriously considered not seeking a third term, and it was a query from Hobbs during filing week in 2011 that finally prompted his decision. “That was something I had to really, really think about. My heart was not necessarily into the job,” Reardon said. After Reardon’s 2013 announcement that he would resign, Hulten used a data wiping program on one of the county laptops he’d been provided. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor evidence tampering. During the October conversation, a state

investigator asked Reardon if he knew whether Hulten had been trying to protect somebody, or perhaps was paid to remove the data. “I don’t know what he was doing. I did not monitor that,” Reardon said. “... And I haven’t had any conversations with him, so I don’t know what’s in his mind.” The upcoming commission hearings could play out like a trial. Commission investigators would lay out their allegations, including any recommendations for punishment, PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson said. Reardon and Hulten would each get a chance to respond. Commissioners would be able to question each of them, as well. And those interviewed as part of the PDC probe could be called to testify, she said. But it might not reach that point. “There always is an attempt by our staff to talk with respondents before a hearing date, and if we think there is a chance the case will settle, we will work toward that,” Anderson said. A proposed settlement agreement could include stipulations about the facts, violations and penalty, she said. However, commissioners are under no obligation to accept the terms of a settlement agreement between the accused and the staff, she said. Reardon and Hulten

each could face significant financial penalties. State law allows the commission to impose a fine of up to $10,000 per violation. The charging documents don’t specify the number of alleged violations. That’s something the commission gets to decide. For example, commissioners could decide that each of the more than 50 times Reardon allegedly had improper contact with one campaign consultant amounted to a new violation, Anderson said. That alone could push his potential fine into six figures. The ability to levy such a hefty fine makes it less likely commissioners will hand the case over to Attorney General Bob Ferguson to resolve. Commissioners went to Ferguson in September to have him investigate ballot-initiative promoter Tim Eyman’s handling of campaign funds in 2012. Unlike the Reardon and Hulten cases, no civil charges were filed against Eyman. PDC staff found what they believed to be an abundance of evidence of election law violations and suggested commissioners send it directly to Ferguson to handle, which they did, Anderson said. The attorney general has not yet announced any action against Eyman. Scott North: 425-3393431; north@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @snorthnews.

for educational nonprofits such as the Institute of Flight. However, federal tax code strongly discourages foundations from giving money to other foundations. So, when the Future of Flight Foundation sought money from private foundations, it often was summarily turned down.

“When I called some foundations and asked, ‘Did you like the presentation?’ They said, ‘Yes, but we can’t give to other foundations,’ ” Hilory said. “It was difficult to explain what we do.” So what do they do? The group operates the center — and oversees about 40

vendors — for Snohomish County. It coordinates the Boeing Tour with Boeing. It markets and advertises both attractions. And it teaches people about aerospace and aviation. The institute’s ambitious plans include adding event rooms inside the center at Paine Field, increasing

and improving the exhibits, and adding educational programs. It will cost from $12 million to $20 million, and take five years or so, Hilory said. The group has a new tagline: Where imagination soars. It is designed for flexibility, as “imagination” can be swapped out as needed, she noted. The institute also

introduced a new logo that is a silhouette image of an adult and child throwing two paper airplanes. It captures the “real human interaction” and excitement of flight, which are central to the group’s mission, she said. Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

They eventually cost him his ear thly body – but not his eternal soul. John was born in Stedum, Netherlands on July 2, 1941, to Henry and Jeanette (Smit) Hammingh. In 1955 t h e f a m i l y m ove d to t h e United States and settled in Bellflower, California. There he met the love of his life, Elaine Masselink, and in 1963 they were married.

Iranian rockets worry Navy They were reportedly fired within 4,900 feet of an American aircraft carrier. Deutsche Presse-Agentur WASHINGTON — Iranian navy ships launched rockets near a U.S. aircraft carrier as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz last week in what a U.S. military spokesman said Tuesday was a “highly provocative” action. The aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman and two other

coalition warships were passing through the strait, which connects the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, on a routine transit Saturday when the incident occurred, U.S. Central Command said in a statement emailed to dpa. The Iranian navy vessels launched the rockets “in close proximity to the coalition vessels and nearby merchant traffic after providing only 23 minutes of advance notification,” the statement said. “These actions were highly provocative, unsafe and unprofessional and call into question

Iran’s commitment to the security of a waterway vital to international commerce,” said Navy Cmdr. Kyle Raines, a CENTCOM spokesman. The statement confirmed a report by NBC news saying a rocket came within 4,900 feet of the aircraft carrier. The report identified the other military ships as a French frigate and the U.S. destroyer USS Buckley. Fast and short attack vessels of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard began conducting a livefire exercise as the carrier was nearing the end of the strait, firing off several unguided

rockets, according to NBC, quoting a U.S. military official. The aircraft carrier and the two other ships have been deployed to the region in support of the U.S.-led coalition supporting the operation against the Islamic State terrorist group in Iraq and Syria. Raines said while most interactions between Iranian forces and the U.S. Navy are professional, safe and routine, “this event was not and runs contrary to efforts to ensure freedom of navigation and maritime safety in the global commons.”

‘Affluenza’ teen detained He was tracked down in Mexico after a call to Domino’s Pizza in Puerto Vallarta.

Tonya Couch

JALISCO STATE PROSECUTOR

no evidence that Ethan Couch’s father, who owns a sheet metal factory in North Texas, was involved. Jalisco state prosecutor Eduardo Almaguer Ramirez said U.S. authorities knew the mother and son were in Puerto Vallarta because of a phone call to Domino’s Pizza. A U.S. Marshals Service agent tipped authorities in Mexico to the location of the phone Monday, according to a police report issued by the Jalisco state prosecutors’ office. The phone had been used to order pizza for a room at a condominium complex in the beach resort city. When agents went to the condo, the Couches had already moved on, but a tourism operator pointed agents to the mother and son’s new home at an apartment in Puerto Vallarta’s old town. Agents set up a surveillance operation in the area and found the Couches that night. The police report said they claimed to be carrying no

identification and gave inconsistent stories about their names. They were taken into custody and handed over to Immigration officials. Anderson noted that Ethan Couch’s hair was “markedly different.” A photo distributed by the Jalisco state prosecutors’ office shows him in detention with his blond hair dyed black and his normally blondish beard now brown. The sheriff has said he believes the two fled in late November after a video surfaced that appears to show Ethan Couch at a party where people were drinking. If found to be drinking, Couch’s probation could be revoked and he could face up to four months in jail. Once returned to Texas, Couch will be held in a Tarrant County facility until a probation violation hearing next month. Anderson said an arrest warrant was being issued for Tonya Couch on charges of hindering an apprehension, a third-degree felony that carries

a sentence of two to 10 years in prison. Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said she plans to ask a judge to transfer Ethan Couch’s case to adult court. Couch would then face up to 120 days in an adult jail, followed by 10 years’ probation. If he violates probation, he could face up to 10 years in prison per death, Wilson said. If the judge declines to transfer Couch to adult court, Wilson will ask that his probation be revoked, in which case he could be held in a juvenile facility until his sentence expires when he turns 19 next April. Ricardo Ariel Vera, the representative of Mexico’s immigration institute in Jalisco state, said the mother and son were being held at immigration offices in Guadalajara and would be returned to the United States aboard a commercial flight to Houston. “They are going to be sent back to their country, given that they were in Mexico improperly,” Ariel Vera said. “They would have had to enter, for example, as tourists, but they entered without registering.” Couch was driving drunk and speeding on a road south of Fort Worth in June 2013 when he crashed into a disabled SUV off to the side, killing four people and injuring several others, including passengers in his pickup truck. He pleaded guilty to four counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault causing serious bodily injury. A judge sentenced him in juvenile court to 10 years’ probation and a stint in a rehabilitation center.

Twin birth rate hit new high in 2014 Los Angeles Times They say good things come in pairs, and that’s increasingly true for American babies, new government data show. The U.S. twinning rate hit a record last year, with 33.9 out of every 1,000 births involving twins. That increase from the 2013 rate of 33.7 per 1,000 births isn’t big enough to be statistically significant, but it did qualify as “a new high for the nation,” according to a report from the National Center for Health Statistics. Among all of those twins, 78,788 were born to white women, 23,546 were born to black women and 22,051 were

George Pataki ends his run for president WASHINGTON — Former New York Gov. George Pataki suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday, after a campaign that appeared doomed almost from the start by both his long stretch out of the national spotlight and the mismatch between his moderate politics and a party turning harder to the right. “I can confirm the governor is out,” said New Hampshire state Sen. John Reagan, one of Pataki’s highest-profile endorsers. “I still believe he is the best man for the job.” Pataki, 70, had flirted with a presidential run three times before, in 2000, 2008 and 2012.

Missouri: Water tops levees A rare winter flood pushed swollen rivers and streams to virtually unheardof heights Tuesday, sparking widespread evacuations and the transfer of inmates from an Illinois state prison as Missouri’s governor activated the National Guard to help divert traffic away from submerged roads. The Army Corps of Engineers said water from the rising Mississippi River and its tributaries threatened to spill over 19 federal levees, putting hundreds of homes in jeopardy.

Maine: Storm hits Northeast

Associated Press FORT WORTH, Texas — A teen fugitive who’s known for using an “affluenza” defense and his mother attempted to disguise themselves and disappear among the American tourists thronging a Mexican resort city for the holidays, but are now in custody and will be returned to the U.S. after a cellphone used to order pizza gave away their location, authorities said Tuesday. Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said 18-year-old Ethan Couch — who was on juvenile probation after killing four people in a drunken driving wreck — and his mother had prepared to be gone a while, even dyeing Couch’s blond hair black, before being detained Monday in the Pacific Coast city of Puerto Vallarta. “They had planned to disappear. They even had something that was almost akin to a going-away party before leaving town,” Anderson said. He would not give details about the event, including how many people attended. During the sentencing phase of Couch’s trial, a defense expert argued that his wealthy parents coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility — a condition the expert termed “affluenza.” The condition is not recognized as a medical diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association, and its invocation drew ridicule. Couch disappeared as authorities investigated whether he had violated the terms of his probation. Anderson said Couch and his mother, Tonya Couch, apparently crossed the border in her pickup and drove to Puerto Vallarta. It was not clear whether they had any accomplices. No immediate charges were planned for others who may have known about or assisted with the flight plan, Anderson said. He said authorities have

born to Latinas. While the twinning rate set a record in 2014, the total number of twin births was merely the fifth highest. Altogether, 135,336 twins were born in the U.S. last year. That’s 2.3 percent higher than in 2013, but 2.6 percent lower than the all-time high of 138,961 twin births, set in 2007. That year, the twinning rate was 32.2 per 1,000 births. The rise in twin births can be traced to twin trends: American women are waiting longer to have babies, and those who use in vitro fertilization are being more conservative. The average age of first-time moms continued to rise in 2014, setting a new U.S. record

at 26.4 years. Overall, the birth rate for women in their teens and early 20s fell last year, while the birth rate for women ages 25 to 44 rose. Although fertility declines as women get older, they are more likely to have fraternal twins. Scientists believe that as the ovaries run low on eggs, the body responds by releasing higher levels of a follicle-stimulating hormone. That, in turn, makes the release of multiple eggs more likely. If two or more are of good quality, fraternal twins (or triplets, or even higher order multiples) can be the result. (Identical twins, on the other hand, occur when a single

fertilized egg splits into two. There is no link between a mother’s age and her odds of conceiving identical twins.) Meanwhile, as in vitro fertilization has become more successful, doctors have been encouraging women to transfer fewer embryos to their wombs. The Society for Assisted Reproduction Technology advises many patients with a good prognosis for a successful pregnancy to transfer no more than two embryos at a time. (Only women who are 38 or older should even consider transferring more than two embryos if they are just getting started with IVF, the society says.)

Winter weather that spun off a series of deadly storms in the Midwest brought the season’s first big punch to the Northeast on Tuesday, with snow, sleet and freezing rain greasing roads, sending drivers spinning and keeping people indoors amid sub-freezing temperatures. Parts of northern New England already had about 6 inches of snow by early evening, and isolated areas could get 10 inches or more by the time it ends late in the day, according to the National Weather Service.

California: Earthquake A moderate earthquake shook an inland area near San Bernardino on Tuesday night, giving a start to thousands across a heavily populated area. There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries, however. The U.S. Geological Survey said in a preliminary report that the magnitude-4.4 quake hit in foothills northwest of San Bernardino about 5:38 p.m. at a depth of about three miles. Minutes later it was followed by aftershocks of magnitude 3.8 and 3.2. People reported feeling the earthquake throughout the suburbs east of Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles southwest of the epicenter.

New York: Security plans With the nation still jittery over shooting massacres in California and Paris, New York City officials sought to assure revelers Tuesday that the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square will be the safest place in the world — heavily secured by thousands of New York Police Department officers, including a new specialized counterterrorism unit. “Leave the worrying to the NYPD,” said James O’Neill, chief of the department. “People should feel safest this New Year’s Eve because we’re there.” Bratton said there were no credible threats to the city ahead of the holiday.

AROUND THE WORLD Guinea: No Ebola cases The Ebola hot zone is finally — and officially — going cold. Guinea, where the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history began two years ago, was declared Ebola-free Tuesday. “Today the World Health Organization declares the end of Ebola virus transmission in the Republic of Guinea,” the U.N. agency said. Forty-two days have passed since the impoverished West African country’s last confirmed Ebola patient tested negative for a second time.

Norway: Immigration plan The government Tuesday proposed tightening the country’s asylum rules to avoid what the immigration minister described as “violent consequences” for the welfare system. The measures, which need parliamentary approval, include making it more difficult for refugees to bring family members to Norway and raising the requirements for permanent residence permits. The move comes after more than 30,000 asylum-seekers sought shelter this year in the wealthy country of 5.1 million people. The immigration minister of the right-wing Progress Party noted that’s one of the highest numbers in Europe in relation to population size. From Herald news services

No boost from $2 gas Consumers aren’t responding to falling gasoline prices with the usual shopping gusto. By Steven Mufson The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — If low oil prices are a gift to U.S. consumers, why isn’t the U.S. economy growing faster? After all, cheap crude pumps money into consumers’ pockets much the same way a tax cut would. The drop in oil prices this year has been like a $290 billion tax cut, roughly equal to a 1 to 2 percentage point across-theboard cut in federal income and payroll taxes. Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen seems to have had greater expectations, too. In July, she said that the economy might “snap back more quickly” particularly as “the boost to consumer spending from low oil prices shows through more definitively.” But the economy has not snapped back. And consumers aren’t responding to falling gasoline prices with the usual shopping gusto. Instead, the economy has slowed to a lackluster annual rate of 2 percent in the third quarter, confounding the Federal Reserve and souring Americans on the recovery that President Obama has tried to portray as one of his principal achievements. “You’d have thought that $2 gasoline would be much more important than low interest

rates and fiscal stimulus, and yet it seems to have had no impact,” said Edward Chow, a senior fellow and energy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “There’s something else going on. There’s some anxiety out there that is not comforted by low oil prices.” So what’s wrong? Kathy Jones, Schwab’s chief strategist on credit markets, said that consumers have increased their savings as oil prices have dropped. And as the savings rate has gradually edged higher, Jones said, the use of credit cards has declined. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the personal savings rate climbed to 5.6 and 5.5 percent respectively in October and November, the highest rates in three years. “So consumers are saving much of the extra money from lower oil prices,” Jones said. “That’s smart but it also means

less robust economic growth than if they had spent it all on other goods.” In addition, some of the benefits of cheap oil are flowing to businesses, many of which are boosting profits rather than lowering consumer prices, said Rob Shapiro, chairman of the consulting firm Sonecon and former under secretary of commerce for economic affairs during the Clinton administration. All the same, without lower oil prices, the economy would look substantially worse. Excluding gasoline, retail sales are up about 3.7 percent this year, Jones noted. Although that’s down from last year’s 4.9 percent pace, it’s still higher than wage growth of about 2.3 percent. One thing consumers are still buying: new cars. Fueled in part by lower gasoline prices, auto sales are on track for a banner year. In addition to having a mixed

effect on consumers, cheap oil has also dented the nation’s overall business investment levels by putting a crimp in the oil industry’s capital spending plans. Chevron announced Dec. 9 that it would slash capital spending plans by 24 percent to $26.6 billion next year. Royal Dutch Shell shaved its capital spending plans by $2 billion for next year. One of the big independent oil companies, Devon Energy, said it would spend $2 billion to $2.5 billion in 2016, down from about $4 billion this year. That in turn has slowed industrial production, which includes outlays on oil drilling. Industrial production has fallen in eight of the past 11 months and the overall index is at its lowest level in more than a year, Jones said. “Investment in energy production continues to fall with prices and that is likely to remain a drag on economic growth going forward unless oil prices rebound,” she said, adding that she does not expect such a rebound. Jason Furman, chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, also notes that in November the economy lost about 11,000 jobs in mining and logging, which includes oil extraction. In the past, blows to the oil and natural gas industry have sent economies in places such as Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Louisiana into tailspins. That’s what happened in Houston in the 1980s, when a housing and oil boom turned to bust. Major See GAS, Page A12

Despite heat, growers boost output of hops Despite drought and a heat wave this summer, Washington growers produced a record 59.4 million pounds of hops this year. Much of the 6 percent boost in production came from an 11 percent increase in acreage. But the strong harvest numbers hide the losses that some Yakima Valley growers suffered on certain hard-hit varieties and extra water costs. Hops are used to flavor beer. Heat-tolerant alpha hop varieties had a banner year. But some of the aroma hops that are favored by craft brewers prefer cooler weather, and suffered significantly in the June heat. Three-quarters of the nation’s hops are grown in Washington.

DuPont plans cuts ahead of Dow merger DuPont will cut 1,700 jobs in its home state of Delaware and thousands more globally as it prepares for its merger with Dow Chemical. Dow and DuPont announced earlier this month that they would join to create a giant chemical producer that will eventually be split into three independent companies. At that time, DuPont announced a $700 million cost savings and restructuring program but did not specify how many jobs would be impacted or where. DuPont CEO Ed Breen sent a letter to employees Tuesday informing them that approximately 1,700 Delaware positions would be eliminated in the beginning of the year.

Estonian Air declared bankrupt An Estonian court has formally declared the Baltic nation’s state-owned airline bankrupt after it ceased operations last month following a European Union order to repay millions in state aid. The Harju County Court said Tuesday that the bankruptcy proceedings for Estonian Air are to be carried out immediately, with the first meeting of creditors scheduled Jan. 15. The EU’s executive Commission said Nov. 7 that Estonia had breached EU rules by injecting capital into the ailing carrier for years. The Commission obliged the airline to pay back 85 million euros plus interest to the Estonian taxpayers.

The rapid increase in vessel size has posed challenges for ports around the world.

LOS ANGELES — The largest container ship ever to arrive at a North American port is now docked at the southern tip of Los Angeles, a sign of the rapid changes under way in the global shipping industry. The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin, which arrived Saturday at the Port of Los Angeles on a maiden voyage from China and South Korea, can carry nearly a third more cargo than the largest ships that currently call at the LAarea ports. In an effort to move more cargo on less fuel, ocean freight carriers are in a race to build megaships with much larger capacities than the typical ships calling at U.S. ports. The average container ship being built now is nearly three times the size of the average a decade ago. The rapid increase in vessel size has posed challenges for ports around the world, which now must contend with enormous volumes of cargo arriving at once. The neighboring ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the nation’s two busiest seaports, have been among the first in the United States to deal with the advent of larger ships. Both ports are in the midst of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of projects to deepen channels and expand terminals to adapt to the changing world of shipping.

The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin, the largest container ship to ever make port in North America, unloads its cargo at the Port of Los Angeles on Saturday.

It’s a vote of confidence in West Coast ports. — Jock O’Connell, trade economist

Early this year, ports along the West Coast faced huge delays due to a contract dispute between the members of the dockworkers’ union and their employers — terminal operators and shipping lines. The impasse led to a partial shutdown of 29 West Coast ports and enormous cargo backlogs. Even before the labor strife, the arrival of larger ships and other operational changes in the

In mid-December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nationally, “Healthcare occupations and industries are expected to have the fastest employment growth and to add the most jobs between 2014 and 2024.” This is due, in large part, to the aging U.S. population, who will need more health care services in the next couple

shipping industry had begun to snarl traffic at Los Angeles and Long Beach. Despite the slow start to the year, cargo volume at both ports has picked up significantly. Through November, the Port of Long Beach increased container volume by 5.5 percent this year compared with the same period last year. The Port of Los Angeles is down just slightly — 1.9 percent — through the same period

of decades. Philips Healthcare in Bothell has introduced Lumify, a smart device ultrasound solution offered as part of a novel subscription model unique to the industry. The new ultrasound digital-health approach connects off-the-shelf compatible smart devices, a mobile

application, advanced ultrasound transducer technology, integrated IT and support services to help healthcare providers improve patient care and reduce costs. It will be available as a monthly subscription. Jan. 9 through 16 are Educator Appreciation Days at

last year. Jock O’Connell, an international trade economist, said the arrival of the CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin is a sign that at least one shipping line is satisfied with the West Coast ports’ ability to handle increased cargo loads. He said the ports are now moving cargo more efficiently and are better at handling larger ships than they had in the past. “It’s a vote of confidence in West Coast ports,” O’Connell said. The ship is scheduled to depart the Port of Los Angeles on Wednesday morning and head to Oakland, where it will stop Thursday before heading back to Shanghai.

Martha Stewart pans are recalled Macy’s is recalling two Martha Stewart brand frying pans after customers said small metal discs popped off the pans and caused bruises, burns and welts. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday that there were seven reports of metal discs flying off the frying pans and three reports of injuries. The metal discs cover the rivets that attach the pan to the handle. The 8-inch and 10-inch frying pans were sold as part of a Martha Stewart Collection 10-piece stainless steel cookware set. The sets cost about $170 and were sold at Macy’s stores and its website for four years until September. The sets were also sold for $90 at shops on military bases. From Herald news services

regional banks, such as Texas Commerce Bancshares, suffered heavy losses in both energy and real estate. Chemical bank ended up taking over Texas Commerce. Yet many American regions are more diversified today than they once were. Texas has seen hiring increases in nine of 11 sectors of the economy, including professional and business services, trade, transportation and utilities, leisure and hospitality, education and health services, construction, government and financial services. “Comparing the situation today to the 1980s is really comparing apples to oranges,” Richard Evans, the soon-to-retire chief executive of San Antonio-based Cullen/ Frost Bankers, said in an interview published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. “In the ’80s, oil prices dropped but in an environment where most people were expecting them to continue to rise. So the drop was not expected and not planned for,” Evans said. “In the most recent oil price decline, lenders’ expectations were much

more rational, and when oil was at $100 a barrel, most anticipated a downward slide to $70 or $80. So, while the magnitude of the recent price crash was larger than expected, both borrowers and lenders were better prepared.” The result has been greater stability. The Texas unemployment rate in November stood at 4.6 percent, unchanged over the previous year. Total non-farm employment rose by 179,300 jobs, or 1.5 percent over November 2014. Although tax collections on oil and gas production in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 plunged 50 percent from the same period of 2015, overall sales taxes in the state were only down 2 to 3 percent, according to “The Texas Economy” website of the Texas Comptroller. Housing in the state has been strong, too. The only sign of weakness was a 1.8 percent drop in the sales of existing single-family homes compared to a year ago, the comptroller’s site said. Back in the 1980s, “real estate was chasing oil” Evans said. Moreover changes in real estate tax rules drove passive investors out of the market “and sent real estate crashing,” Evans said. “Neither of these factors has been an issue this time around.”

Home prices climb in October Associated Press Job growth, low mortgage rates and tight inventories helped fuel rising U.S. home prices in October. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 5.5 percent in the 12 months ending in October, up from 5.4 percent in September, a report

said Tuesday. Home values have climbed at a roughly 5 percent pace during much of 2015, as hiring has bolstered a real estate market still recovering from the recession. Home sales have increased this year as the 5 percent unemployment rate strengthens confidence in the economy.

Builders chase millennials by moving down price scale Bloomberg Surging prices have almost closed off the new-home market to young buyers like Brandon and Quincey Lindemann. But the Denver-area couple found a way in. The Lindemanns paid $350,000 in October for a three-bedroom house at Tri Pointe Group Inc.’s Terrain, a new Castle Rock, Colorado, community designed for first-time buyers. While the home has press-board kitchen counters and a yard too small for the children the Lindemanns plan to have, it’s almost 30 percent cheaper than the average for a new house in the area. “We were willing to sacrifice some luxury to have some solid equity in a home,” said Brandon Lindemann, 25, an auto-repair shop manager who plans to install tile flooring himself. “We couldn’t afford much more than the basic, but I’m a pretty big do-itmyself person.” Following the success this year of D.R. Horton Inc.’s low-cost Express brand, national firms including Tri Pointe, Taylor Morrison Home Corp. and Meritage Homes Corp. are testing cheaper offerings in markets from Colorado to Florida to California. Builders had shifted away from entrylevel buyers after the housing crash and instead focused on developing larger, more-profitable homes during the recovery that began in 2012 amid an increase in land and labor costs. “The recovery in the move-up segment is getting long in the tooth — there are only so many buyers who can pay $400,000 and above,” said Drew Reading, a homebuilding analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. “The main concern in 2016 and beyond is that affordability is becoming a bigger issue.” The push to build bigger may be slowing. The median size of a new single-family home was 2,445 square feet in the third quarter, little changed from a year earlier, after rising 17 percent over six years from a low in 2008, according to an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by Robert Dietz, an economist with the National Association of Home Builders.

D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest builder, now collects 14 percent of its revenue from its Express brand, which it started last year and plans to expand in 2016 to most of its 79 markets. LGI Homes Inc., a Texasbased builder of entry-level houses that became a public company two years ago, has been the best-performing homebuilder stock this year. It reported an 88 percent increase in revenue in the third quarter from a year earlier. “When D.R. Horton first announced that it was going to go after the entry level portion of the market, a lot of other builders wanted to wait and see how it turned out,” said Brad Hunter, chief economist for housing-research firm Metrostudy. “Now that they’ve seen the concept proven, they’re figuring out their own way to provide a home that’s more affordable.” New homes in the U.S. sold at a slower pace than projected in November. Sales rose 4.3 percent to a 490,000 annualized pace after a 470,000 rate in October, according to the Commerce Department. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 505,000 pace, and purchases in the prior three months were revised lower. Most builders continue to chase larger profit margins by catering to move-up and luxury buyers. Large builders such as Lennar Corp. and PulteGroup Inc. continue to focus on wealthier customers rather than firsttime homeowners. “Most builders say land prices are so expensive it doesn’t pencil out,” said Alex Barron, an analyst with Housing Research Center in El Paso, Texas. While PulteGroup isn’t pushing into the entry-level market, it is going after affluent millennials by building homes in close-in suburbs near Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta and Washington, said Mary Rachide, the company’s vice president of strategy. One condominium project near a subway station in Fairfax, Virginia, for instance, has a starting price of $539,990. Tri Pointe, which built the

Lindemanns’ home, plans to increase its share of first-time buyer properties to 40 percent from about 35 percent now, according to Chief Operating Officer Tom Mitchell. The homebuilder expanded its offerings in Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix, in addition to its entry-level communities in California regions including the Inland Empire and Contra Costa County. “It’s good to see demand back in the marketplace — it gets builders to be creative and come up with ways to meet that demand,” Mitchell said. “When we can find the land and create the product to deliver affordable price points, they are selling.” Few builders target the lowest price ranges because communities with those types of homes would be most vulnerable should there be a downturn. Meritage has been expanding a segment it calls “entry-level-plus,” which starts in the low $200,000s in the Houston area. D.R. Horton’s Express brand and LGI have an average price of about $190,000 across their U.S. markets. Low mortgage rates, which have allowed buyers to buy more costly properties, may soon start to increase after the Federal Reserve’s decision this month to raise interest rates for the first time in almost a decade. As the job market improves, competition is heating up for the tight supply of homes. The S&P/CaseShiller index of existing-home values in 20 U.S. cities rose 5.5 percent in October from a year earlier, the group said Tuesday. “Home-price appreciation has gotten to the point where if interest rates start moving up significantly, there’s going to be greater demand for the lower price point,” said Brent Anderson, a Meritage spokesman. The Lindemanns said they considered buying an existing home, but were scared off by stories of bidding wars with dozens of offers. “We were tired of paying rent,” Brandon Lindemann said. “When we have kids, we can get the dream house with a big backyard, at a time when we’re making a whole lot more money.”

What got done in Congress exports that could result in even more shipments of oil by rail through the state. After years of stop-gap measures, Congress passed a transportation spending package, $305 billion for five years that will fund sorely needed work on the nation’s roads, bridges and transit systems. The yeah-but: It relies on gimmicks, such as selling oil from the federal petroleum reserve — potentially at bottom-ofthe-barrel prices — to fund the work rather than owning up to the need for an increase in the federal gas tax. The Export-Import Bank, which guarantees loans that foreign-based companies use to buy American-made exports and facilitates trade important to the Washington state economy, was reauthorized through 2019 as part of the transportation bill. The yeah-but: The bank was shuttered for several months when Congress didn’t act quickly enough, losing out on trade opportunities and prompting a few companies to move jobs overseas where they could find the financing. While Congress rightfully retains a final up-or-down decision in 2016 on the TransPacific Partnership trade deal

with 11 other Pacific Rim nations, it did give President Barack Obama the “fast-track” authority he sought to come to a final agreement with the other countries. As part of the package, Congress also passed a worker-training bill that secured enough Democratic votes for passage. Recognizing that little had come of the National Security Agency’s metadata phone records collection program under the Patriot Act, Congress passed the USA Freedom Act, which now requires the NSA to obtain a court order to collect data on specific phone numbers, rather than collecting data from the phone numbers of all Americans. Meeting little of the typical opposition, legislation that bans microbeads, those tiny plastic pellets in toothpaste, soaps and other grooming products, easily passed in Congress. The beads, which act like sponges for toxic chemicals, are ingested by sea life, passing the toxins up the food chain. The yeah-but: Just as damaging and unregulated are other plastics that end up in waterways, such as nylon fishing nets, plastic bottles and even-tinier microfibers

that slough off from synthetic fabrics in the laundry. Congress left behind the No Child Left Behind Act with the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act, a bipartisan deal initially negotiated by Sens. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee. The act should alleviate some of the anxiety over standardized testing, allowing states and school districts more authority regarding curriculum and how to use test results in school and teacher evaluations. Finally, as it did with the Import-Export Bank, Congress initially missed a deadline to reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund, but as part of the budget deal did renew the program, which uses royalty payments from offshore oil and gas leases to fund public land acquisition for parks and public lands and provide grants for state parks and recreation programs. The yeah-but: Supporters of the 50-year-old program, launched by Everett’s Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson, had hoped to make the reauthorization permanent, but the program will again have to seek funding in three years.

Article exposes vesting fiasco Once again Herald reporter Noah Haglund exposes poor county practices in the Dec. 20 “Slippery slope” exposé. At core is the Snohomish County planning department’s irresponsible policy of automatically vesting all development applications that cross its desk. State vesting law was designed to provide predictability to the builders and provides a 20-day window for county reviewers to accept or reject a proposal. If no decision is made, the application becomes automatically vested. The public has only 21 days to appeal a flawed project, if only it knew about it. The trouble is that at this point there is no public notice to alert anyone that there is even anything occurring in the county coffers, until after another 120-day process. Then people finally get signs and notices that grant them limited say over some environmental issues, often too late to remedy other illegal aspects of the project, from grading and drainage violations, or zoning and title transgressions, or lack of water supply to general mayhem that often goes on illegally to hone the site. The county’s egregious failure to provide initial application review has littered our landscape with many illegal and ill-conceived development schemes. The consequences have only begun to haunt us all, Oso being just one spectacular debacle. We see in the exposé, how it will affect a major industry, but even the railroad behemoth, BNSF, may be powerless to do anything about a landslide-inducing project with significant impacts to the shoreline and rail transport. The courts could do their job under the State Environmental Policy Act, but per the article seem disinclined to. We can only hope new management of the planning department under Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers will put an end to the despicable practice of automatic vesting of bad projects by county planning directors.

■■GOP CANDIDATES

Rand Paul stands calmly above rest It seems to me that the population as a whole is taken in by the power of noise and glitz instead of by the power of by calm debate and logic. In the last Republican “debate,” the candidate who impressed me was Rand Paul. He seemed to be a thinker and the sanest and most level-headed of the nine present. I don’t particularly agree with all of his views but if we have to have a Republican president (rather

■■ PUBLIC RADIO

Station sale will diminish quality Regarding Cathy Duchamp’s letter about the state of Northwest public radio (“KPLU sale or not, listeners will win”): I am sure that Cathy is proud of what they do at KUOW, and I have no quarrel with that. But I would strongly suggest that if KUOW purchases KPLU, the quality of public radio in the Northwest will diminish significantly. KUOW and KPLU are two very distinct stations that produce very different programming. KPLU completed its last fund drive in three days, the shortest in history and raised $50,000 more than the goal. We raised that money because we love what KPLU does. Had KUOW successfully made the frequency grab that the sale would have allowed, their model of all news would have dominated the region and KPLU would have ended up with an all-jazz station that almost assuredly would have disappeared within the year. And, though very few have acknowledged this, 94.9 FM is in commercial bandwidth — it is an anomaly since public radio stations are provided the bandwidth below 92.1. What this would almost certainly mean is that after KUOW 94.9 acquired KPLU 88.5, they would have been free to sell

IN OUR VIEW | Looking back at 2015

Congress and the Washington Legislature have taken their lumps on these pages during the past year. Often, it’s been with ample cause. But while both preferred to use deadlines as a cudgel against the other party rather than a motivator, each body did get some work done in 2015. As we close out the year, here’s a brief look at the accomplishments, backed by Herald Editorial Board and noting where they occasionally fell short; we’ll call them “yeah-buts.” We’ll start with Congress today and continue with the Legislature on Thursday. It wasn’t without last-minute theatrics, but Congress did pass $1.14 trillion in spending and $680 billion in tax cuts before time expired, avoiding a federal government shutdown. Included in the deal was a renewal of the state sales tax deduction for Washington state residents and some relief from the spending caps on domestic and defense spending that sequestration had imposed. The yeah-but: While some of the more inappropriate riders were eliminated, others made it through on the budget’s coat-tails, including an end to the ban on oil

■■IRON HORSE RAILWAY

Sad to lose place of local character Regarding the article, “It’s the last go-round for Iron Horse Railway in Bothell”: I read with sadness about the departure of the unique and delightful one-of-a-kind roadside attraction. To be replaced by what? More wall-to-wall, look-alike apartments and traffic jams. It reminds one of quite a few years ago when the then mayor of Seattle wanted to get rid of the Pike Street Market. He called it an eyesore and slum. Well, as we well all know this “eyesore” turned out to be a major tourist attraction featured by the flying fish. Well, the Country Village offers the same thing with the Iron Horse Railway. Oh, well, make way for eye-numbing, wall-to-wall sameness. Carl Wipperman Kenmore

Work to create future of better wages, benefits

s the future something that will happen to us? No, because as citizens in a democracy, we can make choices and put forward ideas that actually shape that future. So in anticipation of 2016, here are some ideas about how we as a people can shape our own future: In 1998 the people passed the first miniJOHN BURBANK mum wage initiative that included an automatic annual costof-living adjustment to keep up with inflation. That resulted in our state having the best minimum wage in the country, currently at $9.47 an hour. But that is still way behind the actual purchasing power the minimum wage had in 1968. And it is way behind the growth in productivity since then. These facts led to Seattle’s stepped minimum wage increase to $15. On Jan. 1, in Seattle, minimum wage workers in small businesses will see their wages increase to $10.50 an hour. Seattle is not alone. In the election last November, Tacoma voters approved a minimum wage increase to $10.35, effective Feb. 1. But for the rest of the minimum wage workers in our state the news is not so good. That’s because the official inflation index showed no movement in 2015, so the minimum wage will stay put. And that doesn’t help with increasing rent, health insurance premiums, day care costs, and your Comcast bill! State legislators had a chance to remedy this in 2015. State Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle, joined by Snohomish County Reps. Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline; Derek Stanford, D-Bothell; Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo; Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish; Strom Peterson, D-Edmonds; Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace; and June Robinson, D-Everett, sponsored a bill that would have raised the minimum wage to $10 on Jan. 1 On a party line vote, this bill passed the House. But it was dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled state Senate. A similar fate awaited legislation for paid sick days. Seattle and Tacoma both have paid sick days ordinances, put in place by coalitions of active citizens. But if you live elsewhere in our state, including Everett, and if you get sick, or your child is sick, and you stay home from work, you can lose your job, lose your pay or both. (You have no rights as a worker, without a union.) State Rep. Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, sponsored a bill to enable workers to take up to five days of paid sick leave a year, without retaliation from their employers. This bill also passed on a party-line vote, with all Democrats supporting it. But it too was dead on arrival in the state Senate. We could just give the Republicans a Mulligan, and suggest they start over in 2016 and pass a statewide minimum wage increase and a paid sick days law. That’s probably unlikely. But the action doesn’t stop there. There is also the chance that activists will organize an initiative to increase the minimum wage and enable paid sick days statewide in 2016. And that’s where you as a voter can help to create the future, instead of just letting it happen to you. Republicans aren’t the only ones who could use a Mulligan. This year we have heard a lot about Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook creating family leave benefits. That’s good for the salaried employees at those companies. But without actual law, the vast majority of workers don’t get family leave. Rep. June Robinson introduced legislation for universal family leave insurance (FLI). It enables workers to get 12 weeks of compensation at two-thirds pay to care for new-born or newly adopted children. It’s funded by a two-tenths of 1 percent payroll premium. For a culture that believes in work and family, family leave insurance is just common sense. The House Labor and Commerce Committee passed the program. But the Democratic leadership bottled up this legislation. In 2016 the House Democrats could unbottle family leave insurance. It’s been on their agenda since 2007, when they passed family leave insurance but stripped away its funding, leaving it as empty policy. Now they have the power to pass an actual law that enables citizens to balance work and family. A minimum wage increase, statewide paid sick days, and family leave insurance: Instead of watching the future happen to us, we can make the future happen. That would be a good thing to look back to a year from now. Happy New Year! John Burbank is the executive director of the Economic Opportunity Institute, www.eoionline.org.

Panthers storm back

TONIGHT’S GAME

Everett at Kelowna, 7:05 p.m.

After sluggish start, Snohomish rallies past Lynnwood 52-48

Radio: KRKO (1380 AM)

Silvertips welcome return of 2 key players

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Early in the game, the play of the Snohomish boys basketball team was somewhere between sluggish and sleeping. Facing Lynnwood in the Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament, the Panthers promptly dug themselves into an 11-0 deficit. Then after rallying briefly, Snohomish allowed the Royals another string of nine consecutive points. Taken together, and in the space of almost eight combined minutes — the equivalent of nearly an entire quarter — the Panthers had been outscored 20-0. Fortunately for Snohomish, basketball is a game of four quarters. And despite trailing 28-19 at halftime, the Panthers took command over the final two periods for a 52-48 non-conference victory on Tuesday afternoon. Guard Mitch Morris dropped in 10 of his game-high 16 points in the second half, and the Panthers used a 9-0 scoring burst of their own from the late moments of the third quarter through the early minutes of the fourth quarter to move on top to stay. Afterward, Snohomish coach Len Bone pointed out that his team “didn’t seem to have a lot of enthusiasm” early in the game. “We need to be more excited about playing,” he said. The Panthers made just eight of 30 field-goal attempts (.267 percent) in the first half, and “some of that was (poor) shot selection and some of that was (Lynnwood’s) defense. They kind of kept us uncomfortable, out of rhythm, most of the first half.” But the good news, he went on, was that “the second half was better.” Snohomish improved its defense in the second half — and its ball handling, keeping the speedy Royals from scoring often on breakaways — and held Lynnwood to just six secondhalf field goals. And having crept within 34-29 late in the third period, the Panthers used their 9-0 run for a 38-34 lead with six minutes to play in the game. See PANTHERS, Page C3

Noah Juulsen is back after training with Team Canada in Finland, while Dario Winkler returns from playing with Team Austria. By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — A number of WHL teams find themselves shorthanded this time of year with the World Junior Championship underway in Helsinki, Finland. In contrast, the Everett Silvertips are back to full strength for the first time in about a month as Dario Winkler returned from Team Austria’s Division 1 Group A tournament in Austria, and Noah Juulsen came back from Team Canada’s training camp in Finland. Juulsen’s return was something of a surprise. The 2015 NHL first round draft pick survived the first round of cuts and traveled to Finland for the second portion of training camp. Juulsen was one of the final four players cut on the eve of the tournament that began Dec. 26. If Juulsen feels any bitterness, the magnanimous defenseman isn’t showing it. “It’s not every day you get to do something like that,” Juulsen said. “I had the opportunity to go over to Finland and it’s something that I’ll remember forever. I can still be there next year too.” The event is a U-20 event, meaning Juulsen will likely be invited to training camp again next year when the event returns to Canada.

Bennett: Seahawks’ playoff fate all in their minds After letdown against Rams, Seattle looks to get back on track against surging Cardinals By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Before Marshawn Lynch does or does not return this week, or next — or never. Before they rediscover the trusty offensive-line play that spawned Russell Wilson’s record-setting passing during a long-gone, five-game winning streak. Before they find out where they will have to go to open the playoffs in less than two weeks. Before all that, the Seahawks need to reload their minds. They need to realize that even with a playoff berth already secure, even with having won the last two NFC titles and coming within 1 yard of two straight Super Bowl wins, they haven’t accomplished anything yet this season.

So says one of their most vocal and productive veterans. “It comes down to, you’ve got to cherish every moment,” Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett said after Seattle’s 23-17 loss to sub-.500 St. Louis last weekend which wasn’t that close. “When you get to January, there are no do-overs. When you get into the playoffs, there are no guaranteed games. You win that one, you get to keep going. You lose, you go home and get to watch it from your couch. That’s the kind of mindset you’ve got to have. “But the thing about that is, you have to have that mindset every week. That’s how you get to the Super Bowl. You have to have that mindset that you don’t want to go home. When you can get your teammates to think like that every

week, it’s hard to lose.” Did most of the Seahawks lack that mindset against the Rams? “I mean, we lost the game, so it wasn’t there, you know what I mean?” Bennett said. “We lost the game, so obviously it wasn’t there. “We’ve got to get it back.” Pronto. The Seahawks (9-6) finish the regular season on Sunday at Arizona, now the NFC West buzzsaw they had been the previous two Decembers. The division-champion Cardinals (13-2) are plowing everyone, and coach Bruce Arians has already declared they won’t be resting anyone. They have a chance to steal home-field advantage throughout the conference’s playoffs from Carolina should the Panthers (14-1) lose at home Sunday to Tampa Bay. How hot are the Cardinals? They are coming off a 38-8 thrashing of the Green Bay Packers (10-5), who See SEAHAWKS, Page C4

Goff leads Cal by Air Force QB throws 6 TD passes in 55-36 win in Armed Forces Bowl By Marcus Thompson II San Jose Mercury News

FORT WORTH, Texas — Air Force didn’t stand a chance against Cal’s aerial attack. Junior quarterback Jared Goff and his arsenal of receivers played pitch-and-catch Tuesday to the tune of 467 yards and six touchdowns. California, making the postseason for the first time in four years, routed Air Force, 55-36, in the Armed Forces Bowl, held at TCU. It was Cal’s first bowl victory since 2008. It got the Bears to eight wins for the first time since 2009. It served as the exclamation point for a program that completed the mission of climbing out of the doldrums. “It’s been a fun ride,” said Goff, announcing that he would discuss with his parents the NFL option before deciding. “To go from 1-11 (in 2013) to last year being so close, to this year winning eight games and finishing with a bowl victory, it’s really as much as you can ask for. It’s been a lot of fun.” All Cal (8-5) really needed was the defense to contain the nation’s second-best rushing attack. And after early struggles against Air Force’s triple-option offense, Cal’s defense managed just enough stops to remove the doubt.

Air Force (8-6) racked up 434 yards, 285 coming in 53 carries. The Falcons surprised Cal with a few big passes, keeping the game interesting. But the Golden Bear defense producing a couple three-and-outs and forcing a turnover in the second quarter allowed Cal to get early separation. It was more than enough defense with the way Cal’s offense was clicking. Goff, considered by many the best quarterback in the country, had open receivers all over the field. Air Force cornerbacks couldn’t keep up, the safeties didn’t know whom to help. And Goff did exactly what a top quarterback prospect should do against an inferior defense. He picked it apart. Goff chucked it all over the field, going deep with regularity. He completed passes to nine receivers. Of Goff’s 25 completions, nine were for at least 20 yards. Senior receiver Bryce Treggs finished with 143 yards and a touchdown. He could have had more. “He dropped a couple passes early,” Cal coach Sonny Dykes said, flashing a smile at Treggs, sitting to his right in the postgame interview.

Tuesday during a 49-38 victory against the 10thranked Tar Heels in the Russell Athletic Bowl. No. 18 Baylor ran for 190 yards in the first quarter. Before the second quarter was over, the Bears had broken the bowl’s rushing record that had stood since 1999. They had 358 yards rushing by halftime. And more than 400 midway through the third quarter. And 547 yards, more rushing yards than any UNC team had ever allowed, entering the fourth quarter. And still the Bears (10-3) kept running, and running — and all without Shock Linwood, their best running back. He was injured, too, after all. Yet it didn’t matter.

Baylor finished with 645 yards rushing — the most in any bowl game ever. Johnny Jefferson rushed for three touchdowns and a record 299 yards for Baylor, which finished with a 756 yards of offense.

Arizona Bowl Nevada 28, Colorado St. 23 TUCSON, Ariz. — James Butler scored on a 4-yard run with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter to lift Nevada to victory in the inaugural Arizona Bowl. Colorado State (7-6) trailed most of the game before taking the lead on Wyatt Bryan’s 38yard field goal with just under 4 minutes left. The Wolf Pack (7-6) responded quickly, marching 72 yards in eight plays to set up Butler’s tackle-breaking

touchdown run.

LSU 56, Texas Tech 27 HOUSTON — Leonard Fournette scored five touchdowns and ran for 212 yards as No. 22 LSU used a big third quarter to pull away for a win over Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl. Texas Tech (7-6) cut the lead to 1 early in the third quarter before the Tigers (9-3) scored 21 straight points, with two touchdowns by Fournette, to make it 42-20 entering the fourth. Fournette had two rushing touchdowns of 2 yards, ran for TDs of 43 and 4 yards and took a screen pass 44 yards for another score. Patrick Mahomes threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns for Texas Tech Jakeem Grant set a Texas Tech bowl record with three receiving touchdowns.

action early yet ended with 75 yards and three touchdowns. Senior receiver Darius Powe caught four passes for 70 yards and two scores. Goff finished the day as owner of two new single-season, Pac12 records. His 43 touchdowns this season breaks the mark set last year by Oregon’s Marcus Mariota, who won the Heisman Trophy. His 4,719 yards passing eclipsed the record set by Oregon State’s Sean Mannion in 2013. Goff could’ve boosted the numbers even more but the game was over by the start of the fourth quarter. For the players, it was a satisfying conclusion to what for many was the completion of a monumental task: resurrecting the program. Their dominance Tuesday was a sign of how far the program has come. “Going 1-11, they stripped all our Cal gear away from us,” Treggs said. “We worked out in straight gray clothes. We had not one single thing with a Cal logo.” “Or Nike,” safety Stefan McClure chimed in. “Or Nike,” Treggs continued. “We had Target shorts and Hanes compression shorts. It was ridiculous. To be here, with a Cal hat that says Armed Forces Bowl Champions, it’s a great deal.”

Tuesday that defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and defensive line coach Joe Salave’a have signed multi-year contracts to remain part of Leach’s staff. Leach guided the Cougars to a 9-4 record this season, including a victory in the Sun Bowl, Washington State’s first bowl win

since the 2003 campaign. The Cougars’ nine wins were the most since 2003. In his first season as defensive coordinator, Grinch produced considerable improvement in the defense. Salave’a’s defensive line averaged 7.8 tacklesfor-loss per game, eighth nationally.

The Daily Herald Wednesday, 12.30.2015

Lynnwood girls win again at California tourney Herald staff LIVERMORE, Calif. — A 10-point lead by the Lynnwood girls basketball team feels like an insurmountable deficit. So a 21-point halftime lead is probably near impossible for a team to overcome. The Royals jumped out to a 34-13 lead at halftime and built on it in the second half, defeating Oaks Christian 73-50 in a consolation game at the West Coast Jamboree at Las Positas College Tuesday afternoon. Tournament directors

placed Lynnwood in the consolation bracket after the Royals’ openinground victory over Sacred Heart Cathedral (Calif.) on Monday because of a scheduling conflict that would preclude Lynnwood from playing in Wednesday night’s championship game should it qualify. Although they are 2-0 in California, the Royals will play Salesian College Prep (Calif.) in the Platinum Division consolation championship at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, a start time that will better accommodate Lynnwood’s

transportation plans. “We had a real good first half,” said Royals coach Everett Edwards. “I think we had a balanced attack offensively. We only gave up 13 points in the first half and in the second half we kind of relaxed. This one kid kind of went off on us.” That one kid was Oaks Christian senior Katie Campbell, who averages 18.6 points per game. The 5-foot-10 Washington State commit had a game-high 27 points for the Lions in the contest, with the bulk of them coming on 3-pointers in the third quarter.

“We had a good start defensively. The second half the Campbell kid got hot,” Edwards said. “She was knocking them down. She hit 7 deep, deep, deep 3-pointers.” Oaks Christian (6-4) lost to another Washington team on Dec. 22, when the Lions fell 44-39 to Bellevue at the Nike Tournament of Champions in Arizona. Bellevue and Lynnwood, the defending Washington 3A state champion, are expected to contend for this year’s state title. “They started off playing man-to-man against us and

we really took advantage of them,” Edwards said. “They ended up going to a zone to slow us down. … They’re a very good offensive team and have very good guard play. Thank gosh we had a 20-point lead in the second half because they came at us.” Mikayla Pivec led Lynnwood (8-0 overall) with 20 points and fellow post Kelsey Rogers added 18 as the Royals worked the ball inside and built an early lead. Jordyn Edwards netted 12 points and junior Kaprice Boston continued

her strong start to the season for Lynnwood with 15 points. “Kaprice Boston has been playing good basketball for us on both ends of the court and doing a great job in transition,” said Edwards. “The whole goal is looking to face some new teams and new competition. “Each one of the teams we played is a top team in their area. No matter who we play tomorrow they’re another good team as well. We’ve been facing a little bit of adversity but we’ve been stepping up and meeting the challenge.”

Chip Kelly led the Eagles to records of 10-6 in his first two seasons in Philadelphia, but the Eagles are 6-9 this season.

3 and out: Eagles fire Kelly Head coach fired with one game left in third season with team By Rob Maaddi Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — GM Chip Kelly cost head coach Chip Kelly his job. The Philadelphia Eagles fired Kelly Tuesday night with one game left in his third season, dumping the coach/personnel boss after missing the playoffs in consecutive years. Kelly was released before the finale of a disappointing season that began with Super Bowl expectations. The Eagles are 6-9 after going 10-6 two years in a row. They were eliminated from playoff contention after losing to Washington at home on Saturday night. Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie issued a one-sentence statement to the media, saying he appreciates Kelly’s contributions and wishes him success going forward. Lurie told fans in an e-mail that he decided to make a change after “evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team.” The Eagles also fired Ed Marynowitz, who was vice president of player personnel. Longtime NFL executive Tom Donahoe will assume the role of senior director of player personnel. Kelly gained full control of personnel decisions last offseason, winning a power struggle with then-general manager Howie Roseman. But Kelly tore apart a winning team and several of his bold moves backfired. Since March 2014, Kelly released three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, traded two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, didn’t re-sign 2014 Pro Bowl wideout Jeremy Maclin, cut two-time Pro

Seahawks From Page C1

with a bounce-back win at home Sunday against Minnesota (10-5) will win the NFC North and be the No. 3 playoff seed just behind Arizona. The Cardinals have beaten the Eagles and Packers by a combined 78-25 the last two weeks. They beat the Seahawks 39-32 to essentially win the West — six weeks ago. They are 19-2 the last two seasons with Palmer healthy and starting, which he sure is right now. If the Seahawks don’t have a mindset these next two weekends that’s starkly different from last week’s, they are going to have a short postseason. “Our focus has to move on, so that’s what we’re doing,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “We have a terrific matchup coming up. It’s a championship type of matchup that is really fitting for getting you ready for playoff time. And we’ll see how that one works out. We’re going to attack it with an intent of really putting together a good week, and a good game and get us started.” The Seahawks’ biggest failing from the loss to the Rams was their failure to sustain what they’d done for the previous five weeks. It shows how fine the line is between winning streaks and jarring losses in the NFL, how the mental side of the game is

Bowl guard Evan Mathis and traded quarterback Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round draft pick for Sam Bradford. He also gave big money in free agency to running back DeMarco Murray and cornerback Byron Maxwell. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell has underperformed. Kelly even signed Tim Tebow, but released him after he won the competition for the No. 3 quarterback job. Kelly didn’t want players perceived as “me-first” guys. He alienated some of his players, though the only ones who spoke out against him did it after they were gone. McCoy, the franchise’s all-time leading rusher and a fan favorite, made headlines when he said there’s a reason Kelly got rid of “all the good black players.” Cornerback Brandon Boykin, who was traded to Pittsburgh, said Kelly was “uncomfortable” around black players. Other players supported Kelly and moves such as signing Murray and Maxwell contradicted McCoy’s claim. But Kelly’s reputation took a hit anyway. Shortly after Kelly was fired, Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho tweeted: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Suspended Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon tweeted: “Shady, Maclin, Foles, Djax.. Smh.” Kelly replaced Andy Reid and led the Eagles to an NFC East title in 2013 after they were 4-12 a year earlier. The Eagles lost at home to New Orleans in the playoffs and missed the postseason in 2014 following a 9-3 start. They were 7-12 in Kelly’s last 19

games. Kelly was considered one of the most innovative coaches in college when the Eagles lured him away from Oregon in 2013. He brought his up-tempo offense and a unique approach that included monitoring players’ sleep habits, changing the menu in the cafeteria and playing loud music during practices. Players had protein shakes waiting for them after practice and the team took the field on Tuesdays, which is a day off for the rest of the NFL. Kelly’s offense was dynamic his first season and set several franchise records. It steadily declined the next two years. The defense has been the worst in the NFL for three seasons. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will coach the team in the season finale at the New York Giants on Sunday. Lurie told fans President Don Smolenski and Roseman, the executive vice president of football operations, will assist him in the search for a new coach. Roseman was instrumental convincing Kelly to take the job after he initially decided to stay at Oregon. Kelly ended up taking Roseman’s job without the title — the Eagles technically didn’t have a GM this season. But Roseman is the last one standing in Philadelphia. Many fans are thrilled Kelly’s gone. Dane Lawrence, of Philadelphia, saw the news on his phone while walking down a downtown street and celebrated on the sidewalk. “Chip Kelly got fired!” he shouted, gleefully, smiling and shaking his fists like Tiger Woods after sinking a winning putt. “He got fired! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!”

often as or more important than the physical one. Carroll said after Sunday’s game and again on Monday that he, unlike Bennett, did not sense a mental letup in the Seahawks entering the St. Louis game after the five consecutive wins and playoff clinching. “No, not at all,” the coach said. “There was no sign in preparation, there was none of that. We had a great week. We’ll see what this means. We have to look at the film and figure it out.” They have to get re-started this week. If they don’t they will be taking a two-game losing streak and 9-7 record as the sixth and final playoff seed into Green Bay or Minnesota on Jan. 9 or 10. That would begin the most challenging road possible for their postseason. In the next week and a half, Seattle needs to get its running game solidified with Lynch’s return from Nov. 25 abdominal surgery. That return could come Wednesday, next week, or not at all — the Seahawks still don’t know for sure about the NFL’s leading rusher and touchdown maker from 2011 until this first injury-plagued season of his nineyear career. The Seahawks need to get strong safety Kam Chancellor back from a bruised tailbone he got during the win at Baltimore Dec. 13 to settle what’s recently again been a shuffled, scuffling secondary. They need to get left tackle Russell Okung, the only blue-chip, former

first-round pick lineman on the offense, back from a strained calf; if that doesn’t happen for the Arizona game it seems it will for the playoffs. Above all, the Seahawks need to get Wilson back trusting his linemen to provide a consistent pocket, from which he’d thrown 19 touchdowns and zero interceptions the previous five games before St. Louis mauled him. It took was less than two quarters of the Rams blitzing and bludgeoning him for 17 hits in all Sunday for Wilson to begin holding onto the ball too long and ducking and spinning away from pressure that sometimes wasn’t there. He looked more like the besieged QB that got sacked an NFL-high 31 times in the first seven games, and the offense looked more like the malfunctioning one that led to 2-4 and 4-5 starts to this season, than the Wilson and Seahawks they need to be entering the postseason. “Why we had so many problems up front, I don’t know,” Carroll said. Now they have only this game at the soaring Cardinals to get right. “We’re going to treat this exactly like it’s a championship football game, a playoff game, with the travel, the trip and how we do it,” Carroll said. “We’ll come right back the next week, wherever we’re going (to start the playoffs) and do it in the same fashion. “We’re going to have to go back to back — maybe to back — to do something really special.”

Chapman trade criticized Herald news services The leader of the New York City Council says she is “very disturbed” by the Yankees’ completing a trade for Aroldis Chapman, the Cincinnati Reds’ All-Star closer under investigation for domestic violence. Major League Baseball and Florida prosecutors are looking at allegations that Chapman pushed and choked his girlfriend, and fired eight gunshots in the garage of his Miami-area house in October. Urging the Yankees to reconsider, Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito accused the Yankees of “condoning this kind of violence when you bring him on to be part of this team.” “I think it was really wrong of the Yankees to have signed this guy on. We all want the Yankees to do well — but at the expense of what, right?” said Mark-Viverito, a Democrat who represents parts of Manhattan and the Bronx. She spoke with reporters after attending an NYPD graduation ceremony at Madison Square Garden. Florida state prosecutors said they would consider criminal charges against Chapman, a Cuban defector whose 103mph fastball is the major league’s fastest, after a police report about the alleged violence by the four-time all-star leaked to Yahoo Sports earlier this month. News of the allegations stymied an earlier trade between the Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Yankees chose to acquire Chapman for four minor leaguers. “Given the circumstances that currently exist, the price point on acquisition has,

you know, been modified; we’re acquiring him understanding that there are some unresolved issues,” said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman after the trade was announced Monday. The Yankees did not immediately respond to calls for comment on Mark-Viverito’s remarks. Mayor Bill de Blasio did not condemn the trade when asked about it later Tuesday, saying instead that he must “respect the judicial process.” “I think the Yankees often make controversial moves, and sometimes they don’t pay off, but this one’s too early to tell,” said de Blasio, an avowed Red Sox fan.

Develops ﬁrst REAL diet pill. Slims down every single fat cell in your body; one by one!

Ex-Red Sox All-Star Malzone dies BOSTON — Frank Malzone, the Boston Red Sox’s all-time leader among third baseman with homers and RBI, has died, the team said Tuesday. He was 85. Malzone died at home in Needham, Massachusetts, of natural causes, the team said. A member of the Red Sox hall of fame since 1995, he played in Boston for 11 seasons from 1955-65. He hit 131 homers with 716 RBI during that stretch, the most of any third baseman in club history. The six-time All-Star finished his career in 1966 with the California Angels. Malzone played 150 or more games in seven straight seasons after missing just two games in his initial four with the Red Sox. He made it to the big leagues in 1955 after serving two years in the Army (1952-53) during the Korean War. Malzone won the Gold Glove three consecutive seasons (1957-59) and played in every game in two straight seasons from 1958-59. His consecutive-game streak of 475 remains the longest in team history since 1920.

Frustrated by his patient’s weighty health problems, resident diet and health expert; Dr. Seymour Weaver III has single-handedly changed the way people will lose weight forever. By Senior Staff Reporter, Steve tt Local area physician, Dr. Seymour Weaver III has done the impossible. He created a pill that doesn’t just help you lose weight. It helps morph even the chronically obese; into skinnier, healthier versions of themselves. The pill works best on people who don’t have the willpower to stick to a diet… Or those who have been dieting for years and never seem to be able to lose weight. That’s because you’re not forced onto a treadmill or to starve yourself. Unlike other formulas, Dr. Weaver’s pill works on a cellular level… slimming down each individual fat cell by feeding it the proper nutrition it needs to stay healthy. We are seeing thinner waists, leaner torsos and a huge reduction in dangerous health numbers that often plagues patients with weight problems. Both doctors and drug companies are astonished. “This is a huge leap forward! Without any real effort at all my formulation not only stops you from adding pounds — it actually brings your body back to its own natural, God-given weight” says Weaver. It all began in February 2011, when Dr. Weaver received some scary results back from the lab about one of his favorite patients. This gentleman, who will for privacy purposes go unnamed; had cholesterol and triglyceride levels that might send others directly to the grave. Explains Weaver, “Of course my ﬁrst thought was to put my patient on a strict diet. But at this point, there was no time. If I didn’t do something quickly; the man could predictably be dead in just a few months”. Weaver was left with few options. Gastric bypass was out of the question. It was too dangerous for a man in his condition. Besides, his insurance company would never cover it.

Weaver experimented with thousands of ingredients. Some worked a little, others not at all. Then almost accidently, he stumbled upon the mother-load… A formula that works synergistically — encouraging a reduction of your fat cells instead of body weight. It’s a weight-loss phenomenon some of the highest paid researchers in the world have been chasing for years. Weaver’s formulation in effect puts every single fat cell in your body “on a diet”. So now, instead of slowly burning away excess fat, your fat cells actually slim down.

A Possible Nobel Prize Winner It’s a totally new approach to weight loss. Considered so revolutionary in fact, there’s even talk of a Nobel Prize for science. That’s because he was able to identify 14 rare compounds; with odd names like Caralluma, and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. But when fused together, the formula actually forces your body to lose weight at the cellular level. It’s never been done before! 1496371

How It Works… Unlike anything ever developed, the pill targets and conditions your fat cells from the point of food digestion – to the point of waste expulsion. The formula works by latching on to each individual fat cell; Dr Seymour Weaver III: then force-feeding it The genius behind the with essential nutrients most impressive weight loss phenomenon that turn slow-moving of our time. fat into usable energy. The result? Dramatic weight loss as each cell shrinks down to its normal size. Dr. Weaver decided to put his formula to the test. Excitedly, he called his patient to come in for a follow-up visit. He handed the patient a plain white bottle of pills. There was no label on it and no directions other than Weaver’s handwritten scrawl that said “take orally, twice a day”. Then something incredible happened.… For the ﬁrst time the man could remember, he began to lose weight. A lot of weight. Pounds and pounds of pure fat GONE by his very next appointment! Weaver was ecstatic about the results and stars produce his formula in larger quantities.

Unprecedented Demand Soon, word spread about Dr. Weaver’s incredible new pill. Not only did his own patients clamor for it, other doctors’ ofﬁces begged him for a supply. Local retail stores sold out before they could even get it on the shelves. And even now, he struggles to have enough manufactured to ﬁll the growing demand.

“It conditions every cell in your body to shed fat… from the point of food digestion – to the point of waste expulsion. It’s the ﬁrst weight loss remedy that works on the cellular level. There’s never been anything like it!” – Dr. Seymour Weaver III Here’s What Early Testers Are Saying: • “I lost 32 pounds without killing myself in the gym” – Mrs. Mary S , School Teacher • “Pinch me! I went from a size 14 dress to a size 7. I still can’t believe it!” – Autumn S, age 37, Systems Analyst • “I took just two capsules a day… and I was amazed – 7 Pounds in the ﬁrst week!” – Ron S, Age 63, Electrician.

Made only in USA, Officially Classified as “Prescription Free” Dr. Weaver (known for his high ethical standards) produces each and every bottle in the United States. And only from pure and certified ingredients. That’s how he can proudly guarantee each pill will work up to 97.7% of the time. But his attention to detail has certainly slowed down production to the point of where it can only be offered on a limited basis.

Limited Availability to the Public The pills work so well weight loss clinics are scrambling to purchase every single bottle; before the general public gets their hands on it. It’s anticipated that all other forms of weight loss management (including gastric bypass) could become obsolete; once this supplement becomes widely available.

Kelowna Rockets, so there isn’t time for Juulsen to dwell on being cut — not that he’s prone to wallowing. “He came back with the right attitude,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “He had a good game the other night for us (a 4-2 loss at Vancouver). I’m sure he’s a little disappointed, and we’re a little disappointed with him and for him. But he’s also a solid kid and a warrior, and he’ll keep right on improving as a player, so I’m not worried it.” Winkler, on the other hand, skated in five games and tallied two assists as the Austrians finished second at the round robin tournament in Vienna.

last place team at World Juniors will be relegated to Division I Group A next year. It was Winkler’s second consecutive appearance with the U-20 team. He had a goal and an assist the year before when the I-A tournament was held in Italy. He said the Austrians were thrilled to finish second after placing fifth and narrowly avoiding relegation a year ago. “We had a very good team (and) everybody is good friends,” Winkler said. “It was not easy, but we (beat) good teams like Norway and Germany, and that’s not normal for Austria. “We know each other very (well) and it’s like family,” he continued. “That’s why we won against good teams.” Winkler had the chance to spend several days with his parents, and like Juulsen he followed the Tips’ progress as best he could. “It was hard (to leave) because I like everybody here,” Winkler said. “I was able to watch some games online, but not live because of the time difference. It was hard to be away from here.” The Tips (19-12-0-2, 40 points) are tied for second place with Spokane and are one point back of

Seattle. Everett has lost two straight and things don’t get easier this week against Western Conference-leading Kelowna (27-9-1-0, 55 points). The Rockets have won two straight and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Kelowna boasts the WHL’s leading scorer in Tyson Ballie (24 goals, 37 assists), while Dillon Dube (14 goals, 22 assists) and Nick Merkley (11 goals, 19 assists) are other top offensive performers. The Rockets have seven players with 10 or more goals. Kelowna is the topscoring team in the Western Conference at 3.73 goals per game. However, the Rockets are playing without Rourke Chartier (six goals, three assists) who is playing for Team Canada, Tomas Soustal (10 goals, 12 assists) who is with the Czech Republic and Calvin Thurkauf (seven goals, 10 assists) who is with Team Switzerland. Jackson Whistle (196-1-0, 2.57 goals-against average, .919 save percentage) has appeared in 26 games at goaltender. Wednesday’s game is at 7 p.m. The teams square off at Xfinity Arena at 2 p.m. Friday. For the latest Silvertips news follow Jesse Geleynse on Twitter @jessegeleynse.

Mini-cupcakes with an edge Candy-cane topping gives a minty flavor to healthier treats

ROSE McAVOY

By Ellie Krieger

Reflections on living a year with intention

Special to The Washington Post

These festive three-bite cupcakes are as scrumptious as they are adorable. Their deeply chocolaty, moist cake is infused with a playful hint of peppermint, and their whipped cream cheese frosting is sprinkled with holiday spirit in the form of crushed candy canes. (You know you have some laying around after Christmas.) They also happen to be better for you, thanks to a few triedand-true healthful baking tricks. For one, by making half of the flour whole-wheat pastry flour, which is milled from a variety of wheat that is especially soft and tender, you work in some wholegrain goodness without adding any heaviness or “healthy” taste. Using canola oil and Greek yogurt instead of butter and cream keeps the cupcakes tender and moist. And topping them with a cream cheese frosting rather than buttercream means you get all the spreadable richness you expect, but with a fraction of the saturated fat and calories. Of course, baking them in mini muffin pans means you can get your holiday sweet fix without going overboard.

haven’t made a New Year’s resolution in years. My personal and professional experiences in the world of weight loss have shown me what so many experts say: Most resolutions fail within a few weeks and are abandoned entirely soon after. However, there is something seductive about looking at the year ahead and imagining the radical changes you could make in those 12 wide-open months. It is hard to resist making a grand declaration on the eve of each new year. Tony Robbins, the great motivator, says, “Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade.” At one time I would have taken this statement as a challenge. I would have thought, “I’ll show you what I can do in a year!” After a few frantic weeks I would have felt like a failure when reality proved his observation true. Now, I hear it as encouragement to take a breath when the calendar changes. Rather than aim high each year, I can make large goals and accomplish them at a more managable pace. In the final days of 2014, I did something I had never done before. I decided to dedicate 2015 to a year of kindness. This alternative to a New Year’s resolution gave me so much more than a check list — it offered me a guide to use throughout the year. Instead of several resolutions, I had only a single intention to remember. Keeping the theme of kindness at the forefront of my mind was as easy as repeating “be kind” as often as possible. My children gave me many opportunities to speak my intention out-loud. The tiny reminder had a ripple effect on my thoughts and actions. More often than before, I considered the perspective of others rather than jumping to conclusions. When I began approaching food from a place of kindness it became much easier to make healthy choices for myself and my family. At the start of the year, I did not expect any great philosophical shifts. However, as the year comes to a close I can see how powerful the effect has been. Thanks to my year of kindness I find myself forgiving more easily — both myself and others. I have a greater sense of peace, increased gratitude for what I have, and my priorities reflect my new attitude. Best of all, I have come to the end of the year with a better relationship with myself than ever before. Once again I am forgoing the tradition of creating a list of habits to break and things to do in the new year. In 2016, I am going to tune my thoughts and actions to a single word — connection. I can already envision the theme affecting choices in my personal and professional life. Focusing on connection could mean making more eye contact or taking someone by the hand. In other ways, I see it motivating me to work in my garden and take more walks in nature. Certainly there is a place for connection in my approach to food and health. The

Chocolate candy cane cupcakes There’s just enough frosting for a nice piped dollop on top of each cupcake. If you’d rather have total coverage, increase the amount of Neufchatel cheese to 8 tablespoons and the confectioners’ sugar to 1 cup. Make ahead: The frosting needs to be refrigerated for 1 hour (and up to 1 day) before using. The frosted cupcakes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For the cupcakes 1 ⁄2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 1 ⁄2 cup cake flour 1 ⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process) 3 ⁄4 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 cup low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt 1 ⁄2 cup canola oil 1 ⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons low-fat milk (1 percent) 1 teaspoon peppermint extract For the frosting 6 tablespoons Neufchatel cheese (may substitute low-fat cream cheese), at room temperature 3 ⁄4 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons crushed candy canes or peppermint candies (3 standard-size candy canes) For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the yogurt, oil, brown sugar, eggs, milk and peppermint extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium-low speed until smooth and beginning to lighten in color. Reduce the speed to low; add the flour mixture in three additions, mixing well after each one, to form a smooth, thick batter. Distribute the batter evenly among the lined wells. Bake (middle rack) until

a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cupcakes comes out clean, 10 to 13 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool slightly, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. For the frosting: Combine the Neufchatel cheese and confectioners’ sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a balloon-whisk attachment, or use a handheld electric mixer; beat on medium speed for a few minutes, until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium-size round or star tip. Refrigerate for 1 hour (and up to 1 day) before using.

Vanilla extract ... pure and simple By Leah Eskin Chicago Tribune

Vanilla suffers typecasting as ordinary. In software, it’s vanilla versus custom. In finance, it’s vanilla versus exotic. But vanilla hardly counts as plain. Consider her bio: Vanilla comes from Mexico, and though she has traveled as far as Madagascar, she can only fruit naturally back home. Consider her habits: She unfurls a tiny green-white flower for a single day, during which she is visited by her suitor, a rare bee — or perhaps a hummingbird. Vanilla’s slender pods, dried and cured, release an intoxicating perfume: lush, floral and generous. Chemists can copy vanillin — the one-note blast at the center of the flavor. But no one can conjure the full

symphony — some 400 subtle scents — that make up true vanilla. That’s not plain; it’s plainly astounding. It’s also easy to make at home.

Slit: Use a small sharp knife to slit the vanilla beans lengthwise. Slip the beans into the bottle of vodka. Close and store in a cool dark cupboard. (Consider sliding the bottle back into its paper bag.) 2. Wait: Let rest 3 (or more) weeks. Shake a few times per week. 3. Strain: Set a sieve lined with cheesecloth over a quart-size measuring cup.

NOURISH | Ellie Krieger

Everything shines in easy-to-prepare fruit-veggie combo

e tend to pigeonhole food into “sweet” or “savory” categories, but this recipe celebrates the delicious reality that nature doesn’t play that way. Each of its key ingredients has a nuanced range that covers both ends of that flavor spectrum, and they come together here in a delightful dish that lets them shine fully. The inspiration for it came from pondering how well slices of roasted apples, with their hint of tartness and caramelized sugars, would pair with the sweet-savory duality of roasted beets. I imagined them served with a crunchy, fragrant herbed topping and decided to give that a sweet-savory essence, too, with toasted almonds lightly glazed in honey and seasoned with fresh rosemary, orange zest and a pinch of salt. To carry the array of flavors and textures and

add a creamy element, I served it all scattered atop a smear of Greek yogurt, which is famously comfortable in dishes both sweet (with honey and fruit, which this recipe has) and savory (with olive oil, herbs and vegetables, which this recipe also has). The result is a versatile celebration of the season that defies categorization. But if pressed, I suppose I’d call it a savory dish with sweet elements that makes for a satisfying first course, afternoon snack or part of a brunch or Middle Eastern mezze spread.

Roasted apples and beets on yogurt with almond-herb topping 2 medium beets (11 ounces total, without greens) 1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon olive oil 2 medium Granny Smith apples (unpeeled) 2 teaspoons honey 1 ⁄3 cup whole natural

skin-on almonds, coarsely chopped 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary ½ teaspoon finely grated orange zest ¼ teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups plain, low-fat Greek yogurt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Trim off and discard the beets’ stems, as needed. Rub each beet with ¼ teaspoon of the oil, then wrap each one in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with a fork, 65 to 70 minutes. Let cool, then remove the peel with a paring knife and/or by rubbing the peel away with your fingers. Cut the beets into ½-inch-thick slices, then quarter each slice. While the beets are cooking, core the apples, then cut them into ½-inch-thick slices. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of the honey. Line a baking sheet with foil, then grease the foil with cooking oil spray (or brush with a little more oil). Place the apple slices (one of the cut sides down) on the baking sheet in a single layer; roast (425 degrees) until they have softened

and caramelized on the underside, 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet before removing with a spatula. Meanwhile, combine the almonds, rosemary and orange zest in a small nonstick skillet. Drizzle with the remaining teaspoon of honey and season with the salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the almonds are toasted and fragrant and coated with the honey, about 3 minutes. Let cool. To serve, smear ¼ cup of the yogurt on each individual plate. Arrange the roasted beets and apples on top, then sprinkle with the almond topping. Season lightly with the pepper.

combine the flour, baking soda, ginger and allspice, mix well and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the molasses, brown sugar, eggs and melted margarine or butter, mixing together thoroughly. Add molasses mixture to flour mixture, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Divide mixture between two greased 5-by-9-inch loaf pans, filling each half-full. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (The original recipe called for 350 degrees, but it often burned on the sides and bottom. If there is stlll a problem at 325 degrees, then place pans into a water bath before baking.) The batter can also be turned into 3 smaller pans (8 inches) instead of the larger ones. To make a strong flavor, you can use dark molasses and dark brown sugar and all of the spices. For a milder taste, you can use the lighter molasses and sugar and cut down on the spices. Remember, the spices were originally this same amount, but mixed through more flour. Makes 2 standard (or 3 smaller) loaves. Note: This recipe also turns out very well when made gluten free. Substitute a gluten-free, allpurpose flour mix instead of the wheat flour, and add 1 teaspoon xanthum gum.

Originally gum was a kind of tree sap called chicle extracted from tapping trees the same way latex is comes from rubber trees. The natural ingredients have now been replaced by man-made plastics and rubber to which color, sweetener and flavors are added. 60 to 70% of most bubble gum is sugar.

GRANDPARENTING | Tom and Dee Hardie with Key Kidder

2015’s best and worst in grandparenting

oodbye, adios, au revoir, shalom, ciao, aloha, auf Wiedersehen and sayonara. WHOOSH! is the sound of another year on the way out. Where did the summer go? And what happened to fall, our favorite season? Here we go again with another of our highly unscientific, extremely subjective annual lists of the best and worse of the year that was: Best news of all: : It’s what we’ve been saying all along, but along came some new supporting research to back us up. According to a recent Boston College study, emotionally close ties between grandparents and their adult grandchildren reduce symptoms of depression in both groups. Worst demographic trend: Can you say “grandparent deficit?” That’s what some call the growing shortage of grandparents, caused by more women who are waiting longer to start families. While the women wait and wait, the would-be grandparents age and die off, depriving the newborns of ever having a grandparent. There

doesn’t seem to be an easy solution to this problem. Greatest grandparents ever?: Hail to the Boomers, the Baby Boom generation that constitutes the majority of today’s grandparents. According to author Lori Bitter, boomer grandparents spend more time with, and more money on, their grandchildren than previous generations. Does that make them the greatest ever? Worst celebrity role model: From top to bottom, the tacky, self-important Kardashian clan is so bad that they have a lock on winning this category for the foreseeable future. They continue to invent new ways to offend, annoy and shock every sensible American. The great tragedy is that so many impressionable grandchildren hang on their every move. Best new genetic discovery: Scientists at the University of California at San Diego have discovered so-called “grandparent” genes they believed evolved in humans to extend the lifetime of elder grandparents, who in turn

Best celebrity role model: Leading songstress Taylor Swift is edgy but likeable. She takes a stand against bullying and donated to charities under her friend’s names to avoid the publicity. She has never smoked or done drugs. Worst age to become a grandmother A British woman became a grandmother at age 28. Do the math. Her daughter repeated her mother’s mistake and had a child at age 14, despite her mother’s best efforts to make sure the daughter didn’t repeat her mistakes.

Hospital values life of mother and child Dear Abby: You printed a letter from a woman (Nov. 25) whose husband told her while she was pregnant that, if it came to a choice, he would choose the life of the baby over hers. Your response contained a piece of misinformation I would appreciate you correcting for your readers. You asserted that it is Catholic policy to save the life of the baby over the mother in obstetrical emergencies. Abby, that is one of the oldest but most persistent pieces of misinformation out there! This inaccurate statement has been replayed even in movies in spite of repeated denials by Catholic hospitals and the professionals who render care in them. The fact is: Catholic policy is abundantly clear on the dignity of both mother and baby, and makes no priority of one over the other. Catholic hospitals operate with the same standards of safety in maternity care and are inspected by the same organizations that inspect non-Catholic maternity programs such as the Joint Commission and the licensing agency of each state. Catholic hospitals must adhere to the same robust standards as every other maternity service in the country. I would appreciate it if you could assure your readers that, while this makes for good movies and novels, it is not the Catholic position. The dignity of the life of both mother and baby are critically important to all those serving in Catholic health care. Thank you for your help with this. — Sr. Carol Keehan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Catholic Health Association Dear Sister Carol: Since printing that letter, I have RIP HAYWIRE

received a crash course in ethics at Catholic hospitals. I apologize to you and to my Catholic readers for saying what I did. I am sharing some of the letters I received. Read on: Dear Abby: In the days before blood banks and antibiotics, very few women survived C-sections. Obstetrical complications (now solved by surgical delivery) created a dilemma: Either allow a dysfunctional labor to continue until the child died and could be forcibly dragged or dissected through the birth canal, or perform the surgery that would cause the mother’s death. About the only time such an issue could arise in contemporary America would be in the rare case of a pregnant woman who is discovered to have an aggressive cancer, and has to decide whether to start chemo or radiation therapy that could abort or harm the fetus, or delay until after delivery, which could allow the tumor to grow or metastasize. — Robin T., Richmond, Calif. Dear Abby: Devout Catholics are pro-life in every instance, and, of course, efforts to save both mother and infant are always the rule. But the value of the life of a newborn never surpasses the value of the life of the mother. Never! — Catholic Doctor In Ohio

By Frazier Moore Associated Press

NEW YORK — It’s been a year of shifting sands in late night. A year of broken trust in two vastly different TV personalities. And a year when presidential debates became must-see TV. Here’s a rundown of big television happenings in 2015:

TODAY IN HISTORY Marcos was inaugurated for his first term as president of the Philippines. In 1979, Broadway composer Richard Rodgers died in New York at age 77. In 1989, a Northwest Airlines DC-10, which had been the target of a telephoned threat, flew safely from Paris to Detroit with 22 passengers amid extratight security. In 1994, a gunman walked into a pair of suburban Boston abortion clinics and opened fire, killing two employees. (John C. Salvi III was later convicted of murder; he died in prison, an apparent suicide.) In 1999, former Beatle George Harrison fought off a knife-wielding intruder who’d broken into his mansion west of London and stabbed him in the chest. (Michael Abram was later acquitted of attempted murder by reason of insanity.) In 2006, Iraqis awoke to news that Saddam Hussein had been hanged; victims of his three decades of autocratic rule took to the streets to celebrate. In 2005, President George W. Bush, unhappy with Congress for not permanently extending the USA Patriot Act, signed a bill renewing the anti-terrorism law for a few weeks. Associated Press

Say ‘good night’ Late-night TV’s transformation began in January, when Larry Wilmore’s new “Nightly Show” claimed the Comedy Central slot previously held by Stephen Colbert’s “Colbert Report.” Then in February, Jon Stewart announced he was leaving Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and, in July, he did. In March, James Corden took over CBS’ “Late Late Show” and Trevor Noah was declared the incoming host of “The Daily Show,” debuting in September. In May, David Letterman retired from CBS’ “Late Show” and, in September, Colbert arrived as its new host.

Ratings ‘Empire’ Fox’s “Empire” premiered in January and quickly became a rip-roaring success. Its audience grew every week through its May season finale — a virtually unprecedented feat — and it launched Taraji P. Henson’s fearless, outrageous Cookie as the year’s breakout character, complete with a real-life fashion line. Meanwhile, stars from Mariah Carey

Anchor away Trusted NBC “Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams, who reported so credibly on wars for NBC News, got caught fudging his own stories as a guest on “Late Show” and elsewhere. His was a precipitous fall from grace (and the top tier of NBC News) as he was benched and replaced by Lester Holt. Though he would continue to be banned from NBC, he was eventually deemed sufficiently trustworthy to play on second-string MSNBC, where he quietly emerged

1275642

Transitioning into new insight Gender reassignment was a conspicuous theme in 2015. Amazon’s awardwinning scripted series “Transparent” entered its second season. In June, “Becoming Us” premiered on ABC Family as an unscripted series focusing on an Illinois teen whose father was becoming a woman. July brought “I Am Jazz,” a TLC unscripted series about 14-year-old Jazz Jennings, who was born male but at 2 years old knew she was a girl. And also in July, the docuseries “I Am Cait” arrived on the E! network to chart the former Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn Jenner as part of a highly orchestrated coming-out campaign that included an April

Donald Trump has long been a familiar face on TV, especially since 2004, when he debuted as host of NBC’s “The Apprentice.” That relationship abruptly ended last June, not long after Trump’s incendiary remarks about Mexican immigrants made while announcing his GOP presidential candidacy. In his new role, he scored an even better TV gig. He became a soughtafter guest on talk shows, newscasts and as host of “Saturday Night Live,” and proved to be a ratings magnet for presidential debates (see below). Trump’s typically measured selfassessment: “Nobody gets ratings like me.”

No debating, they’re a hit Presidential debates were big draws and big business for the networks that presented them in 2015 — at least, when Donald Trump was involved. The first Republican debate was watched by 24 million viewers, the highest-rated broadcast in Fox News Channel’s history. The second debate, with nearly 23 million viewers, made similar history for CNN. The third debate, seen by 14 million viewers, broke records for CNBC. And with the fourth debate, Fox Business Network landed its biggest-ever audience, 13.5 million viewers.
