Baby’s death a homicide The girl’s mother and her boyfriend are charged with felony mistreatment of a child, with more charges possible.

By Rikki King and Scott North Herald Writers

EVERETT — A baby girl who died last month with multiple

fractures succumbed to a combination of illnesses and injuries, and her death has been officially determined to be a homicide, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner said Thursday.

Madilynn M. Schreib died Dec. 20 at a Seattle hospital, two days after Everett paramedics were called to a motel room where she was reported unresponsive.

An autopsy determined the 3-month-old’s death was the result of “pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis with non-accidental trauma and history of the

presence of methamphetamine,” the medical examiner reported.

The decision to rule Madilynn’s death a homicide means investigators have determined there is evidence somebody was responsible — that the death was not natural or accidental.

often. It is not that the Lake Stevens Middle School seventhgrader is shy, she most certainly is not, but the reunion was a chance to quietly study faces and soak up details of an event she cannot remember.

Likewise, her visit meant a lot to veteran paramedics Eric Jones and Jon Dudder who often wondered what became of the girl in the cul de sac.

“It takes your breath away,” Jones said, shortly after meeting Jasmine.

“It is touching, just seeing her there, seeing her so well adjusted, seeing her so happy,” Dudder said.

EVERETT — An impassioned and combative Kevin Quigley testified for three hours Thursday about the steps the state Department of Social and Health Services has taken to bring more timely mental health treatment to inmates languishing in county jails.

Quigley, the department’s secretary, blamed years of neglect on lawmakers, who, he said, have failed to fully fund the state’s mental health hospitals.

Washington routinely has ranked last in the country for the number of available adult psychiatric beds. There are 100 fewer beds than there were 10 years ago, Quigley said.

“It’s an incredible embarrassment to this state,” he said while being questioned in Snohomish County Superior Court.

Quigley also testified that under his three-year tenure, spending on mental health services has increased by $800 million.

“I’ve pushed as much as I could.

I’ve colored outside the lines as much as I could,” Quigley said.

“The law doesn’t allow us to spend money that’s not budgeted.”

The needs of those people living with mental illness have gone unfunded, but not unnoticed by his department, he said. Quigley said he’s been forced to make tough decisions and he has prioritized mental health services for children and those under civil commitment in the state’s hospitals over criminal defendants.

“No one on God’s green Earth can say I wasn’t rigorous about this,” he said Thursday.

Quigley announced Tuesday that he planned to resign once Gov. Jay Inslee found a successor to run the department. That night he was served with a subpoena ordering him to testify Thursday before Superior Court Judge Anita Farris.

Public defender Tiffany Mecca asked Farris to find the state in contempt for not admitting her client, a mentally ill man charged with stalking, to

Western State Hospital within seven days. The admission was delayed for months, despite a court order and a federal injunction setting the one-week timeline.

Farris has demanded that DSHS account for the $40 million it was allocated in July to answer to the federal injunction. She also ordered that Quigley and others show up to explain why the department isn’t able to admit defendants in a timely manner.

U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman ruled in April that the state was routinely violating the constitutional rights of inmates awaiting treatment at the state’s two psychiatric hospitals. She ordered that the state come up with a plan to add more beds for defendants who are too mentally ill to assist with their own defense.

Inmates wait weeks to be admitted to the hospitals.

They often go untreated in jails. County judges routinely are asked to release inmates, dismiss charges or find the state in contempt.

Mecca’s client had been waiting since November.

He was admitted to Western on Tuesday, despite hospital officials testifying earlier that a bed likely wouldn’t be available until Jan. 11.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Kevin Quigley, of DSHS, testifies about the delays at Western State Hospital on Thursday morning at the Snohomish County Courthouse in Everett.

Assistant Attorney General Amber Leaders on Thursday attempted to keep Quigley off the witness stand, saying the contempt issue was moot because the defendant had been admitted.

Quigley said he wanted to testify.

“I don’t want any remote appearance that I’m not willing to answer questions,” he said.

Thursday was part of series of hearings in front of Farris, who has insisted on explanations for why delays have gotten longer since Pechman’s ruling. In April the average wait time was 15 days. The latest data show that inmates are waiting an average of 36 days.

Quigley testified that wait times will not improve until the state can add more beds, and that is going to take at least until May, well beyond Pechman’s Jan. 2 deadline.

The state plans to contract with outside providers

to open beds elsewhere, including at a former juvenile detention center in Centralia.

Adding capacity doesn’t happen overnight, Quigley said.

“What we’re building here has to be as secure as a jail in a work environment that is more conducive to healing and recovering,” he said.

Additionally, the state’s mental hospitals are plagued by an inability to recruit and retain staff, including psychiatrists.

Quigley and others testified that the state doesn’t pay enough to attract and keep doctors, psychologists, nurses and social workers.

The hospital has hired 300 people in the past year, but has only been able to retain about 100 of those employees. A recent federal audit found that understaffing contributed to patient safety concerns at Western.

The hospital was notified in the fall that it risked losing

charges are possible.

Detectives declined to share an update Thursday.

They are working the case, including additional search warrants, Lt. Ryan Dalberg said.

“There’s not going to be a lot released while the investigation is ongoing,” he said. “The suspects are in custody. We have a lot of

follow-up to do.”

Jerrica Schreib, 19, and her boyfriend, Donald Coons, 42, on Thursday remained behind bars on $500,000 bail each. Coons also is awaiting trial on a meth possession charge from June.

Madilynn reportedly had a broken arm and rib fractures. Hospital staff told investigators that not seeking medical attention for the baby’s broken bones exposed

federal funding if problems weren’t fixed. That led Quigley to stop expansion intended to meet Pechman’s mandate.

“I was worried we were pushing the hospital too hard to open new beds,” he said.

Staff hired for those additional restoration treatment beds was moved to backfill openings in the rest of the hospital.

“I knew the courts would be grumpy with me,” Quigley said. “Nobody could do it faster than we have done it.”

Lawyers, however, argued Thursday that this problem did not surface overnight.

Farris on Thursday pointed to a legislative committee report from 2012 that mandated DSHS to come up with a plan to address the long wait times. A state audit found DSHS not only didn’t follow its plan, it was claiming improvements that were never made.

The situation is more complicated than it appears, Quigley said.

“It’s all the same story.

If you want to crucify the secretary of DSHS, fine, but you’re not going to solve the problems for clients,” he said.

His agency is acutely aware that people’s constitutional rights are being violated, something that’s likely been going on for a decade, Quigley said.

His department has had to prioritize with the money it’s been given.

Before the federal lawsuit, there hadn’t been any

major efforts to reduce the wait times, he said. They have taken significant steps to meet other mandates for mentally ill juveniles and those who are civilly committed.

The money is there now for forensic services and the department can add beds. It will continue to be a challenge to hire and keep staff. Yet Quigley insisted that the department has “turned a corner.”

“There’s zero doubt in my mind that we’re on a trajectory to solve this problem,” he said.

Quigley’s indignation became palpable when public defender Jason Schwarz asked if a lack of funding by the legislators was a good reason for Quigley to disregard the state and U.S. Constitutions.

“Be real,” Quigley answered. The state Constitution doesn’t allow spending money that isn’t authorized.

“I followed the law. I can’t believe what you would do to public service,” Quigley said. “ ... Your question is so far out of line.”

Farris ordered Quigley to answer Schwarz’s question about intentionally disobeying court orders.

DSHS is in an impossible situation, Quigley said, and he isn’t going to open more beds if it means putting the safety of patients and staff at risk.

“Throw me in jail if you want,” he said.

the child to suffering they likened to torture. Tests also demonstrated the girl had been exposed to methamphetamine.

Child Protective Services has placed Coons’ three daughters in protective custody. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office also is investigating allegations the girls were assaulted in its jurisdiction.

CPS had no history of contacts with the baby, spokeswoman Norah West said.

Because of that, CPS is not required by state law to conduct a review of the death to look for any issues with social work provided.

However, the agency is investigating the abuse allegations, she said.

West said she could not discuss Schreib’s older daughter, who is 3. That girl was not believed to be living with Schreib or Coons at the time the baby was taken to the hospital.

Inslee vows to fix inmate-release errors

By Jerry Cornfield Herald writer

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee promised Thursday to hold accountable the state employees who failed to fix a software problem allowing inmates out of prison too soon after the glitch was discovered in 2012.

Inslee said he has some “preliminary observations” of people involved but won’t act until an investigation is finished later this year.

say they’ll keep >> Lawmakers focus on education, A4 “There is one thing that is going to happen at the conclusion of this investigation and that is state employees will be held accountable for this failure,” he said Thursday at the annual Associated Press Legislative Preview event.

“Because of the severity of this failure we are going to find out every document and every person associated with this failure,”

he said. “There will be accountability for this failure.”

On Dec. 22, Inslee announced that as many as 3,200 prisoners have been mistakenly freed since 2002 because of the error in the algorithm used to calculate their sentences.

Since then prisoner sentences have been calculated by hand and more than two dozen offenders who need to serve additional time are back in custody, including four from Snohomish County.

Corrections officials also have

tied the deaths of two people to convicted criminals who should have been locked up but were set free early in error.

Inslee said he spoke with the mothers of both victims.

“It was extremely painful,” he said. “They both were extremely gracious.”

The Department of Corrections first learned of the problem in 2012 and a fix was ordered. But the work was delayed 16 times and ultimately never done. Inslee ordered it be completed and it

should be corrected by next week.

When the problem was first discovered, the Attorney General’s Office advised department officials it wasn’t necessary to manually recalculate prisoners’ sentences, according to documents released by the department.

The assistant attorney general assigned to the agency wrote in December 2012 that from a “risk management perspective,” See INSLEE, Page A4

Theft doesn’t stop puppeteers

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — George V is missing.

George IV had to come out of retirement. George VI is a work in progress.

The show must go on, even for 8-foot-tall giraffe puppets.

George is the namesake and star of the Giraffe & Staff Puppet Company based in Everett.

Puppet show director Sharon Allbright had a meeting Saturday at the Everett Public Library. She kept her purple suitcase of puppets in her truck.

When she got back to the parking garage, “my truck had all the doors open and the back was up and all my equipment was lying on the ground, the stuff they didn’t take,” she said. “They just ransacked it. I just felt so violated.”

George was gone.

She reported the crime to police Saturday. She spent much of Sunday being angry. By

Stephen Sweeney practices with a backup giraffe puppet named George IV behind a stage set up at his home Wednesday.

Monday, she made a decision.

“I’m not going to cancel our shows,” she said. “I just really pray that I can make it work.”

She enlisted the help of another puppeteer, Stephen Sweeney, her husband of 23 years and an electrical engineer

with a job in aerospace. The couple has lived in Everett since 2005.

In the 1980s, Allbright worked as a journalist and owned a store selling coffee beans in southern California. She didn’t like being in one building all day.

On a whim, she told co-workers, “‘I think I will travel around the world and do puppet shows,’ and I laughed and everyone laughed.”

That night, though, when she opened a newspaper, there was an advertisement from the local library, looking for a puppeteer.

She found her writing skills came in handy creating original plays. She started performing at libraries, schools, shopping centers and children’s parties.

She was hooked on the idea of children coming to the library, seeing something fun and becoming interested in books as a result.

“The kids just crack up during the whole show,” she said.

To learn puppet making, she read books and attended national puppet festivals.

“I even met Jim Henson, which was a biggie, of course,” she said.

EVERETT — An Everett man who died in a fire last week along W. Casino Road succumbed to smoke inhalation, officials said Thursday.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the Dec. 31 death of Mark A. Davis, 65, an accident.

The cause of the fire at the Bluffs apartments has not been determined. There was too little evidence to pinpoint exactly what happened before a mattress caught fire in a bedroom, Everett Assistant Fire Marshal Eric Hicks said.

“We worked extensively with the witnesses,” he said.

“There are too many possible causes.”

More than a dozen people were hurt in the fire, and 150 were displaced.

The fire department has not received any new information about the injured, Hicks said.

The American Red Cross will keep open an emergency shelter “for a significant time to come,” director Chuck Morrison said.

About 70 people are coming to the shelter for each meal, and 37 stayed overnight Wednesday, he said. On Thursday, housing groups and nonprofits were working with the families on what’s next.

In addition, the Mukilteo YMCA is offering free 2016 family memberships to those displaced. Many of those affected already participate in programs there, and the YMCA provided others access to showers after the fire, according to a news release.

Families who are interested in the free memberships are asked to call the YMCA’s Cory Armstrong-Hoss at 425-4932414 to determine eligibility and complete paperwork.

a recalculation by hand of hundreds of sentences was “not so urgent” because a software reprogramming fix eventually would take care of the issue.

Inslee, who took office in January 2013, described the handling of the situation as a “serious misjudgment” on the part of some of those involved.

“The moment I heard about this, I understood what a failure this was,” Inslee said. “It was pretty obvious to me.

on Thursday said they still haven’t resolved where to find the money and likely won’t get there until the 2017 Legislature.

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan said the Legislature is under pressure from both the courts and state law to finally resolve the complicated budget issues at the heart of the Supreme Court ruling

known as the McCleary decision.

The ruling said the state wasn’t spending enough on basic education, including teacher salaries, and depended too much on local tax levies. The Legislature faces a 2018 deadline to finish paying for its previous commitments to improve education.

A scheduled end to some

financial support for local schools, including state levy equalization and a boost to the amount local school districts can collect, may put more pressure on the Legislature than the 2012 McCleary ruling.

“There will be districts that will go bankrupt if we don’t solve the problem,” said Sullivan, D-Covington.

Senate Majority Leader

was not obvious to assistant attorneys general, is mindboggling.”

Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who also took office in 2013, voiced his dismay in a statement issued last month.

“This 2012 advice was deeply flawed and failed to emphasize the urgency of addressing this critical issue,” he said.

Ferguson directed his staff to review the internal processes that produced the advice and to find any other relevant legal advice on this matter, dating back to 2002.

Meanwhile, state lawmakers want to hear for themselves what happened.

On Monday, the first day of the legislative session,

the Senate Law and Justice Committee will hold a hearing at which Secretary of Corrections Dan Pacholke is scheduled to appear.

A hearing in the House is expected later in the session.

Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, on Thursday, expressed concern the investigation ordered by Inslee may not produce the most complete picture because the investigators were hired by the governor.

To call the probe objective, he said, “doesn’t smell right. We need to dive deep into it. We need to ask a lot of questions to get real answers ... and not spin.”

Inslee tapped retired federal prosecutors Robert

Westinghouse and Carl Blackstone to lead the investigation. He praised their integrity and said the problem shouldn’t be turned into a partisan issue.

“This is important to get to the bottom of this. We are going to do that,” Inslee said.

Lawmakers on Thursday said there may be legislation to prevent any recurrence.

House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, suggested corrections officials carry out manual hand counts of prisoner sentences every year as a back stop to the computer calculations.

“We need to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” he said.

In 2013, council members unanimously backed John Lovick, the party’s top choice for the county executive’s job. In 2009, however, a 3-2 council majority supported appointing veteran deputy prosecutor Mark Roe as prosecuting attorney over Jim Kenny, a fire commissioner and assistant Seattle city prosecutor with more support from party activists.

Dunshee wants the county job, but also has committed to serving this year in Olympia, where he’s been appointed the lead budget writer for the

majority party. The legislative session is scheduled to start Monday and continue through March 10.

Dunshee, 62, has served in the state House for 20 years.

Palumbo, 42, lives near Maltby and serves as a Fire District 7 commissioner.

He’s the chairman of the county planning commission, an appointed position.

Palumbo owns Roscoe’s Ranch, a dogboarding business, and earlier worked in high tech at Amazon.

“Those are the only three names I’m hearing right

now,” county Democratic Party chairman Richard Wright wrote in an email.

The Feb. 6 caucus is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. at the Everett Labor Temple, 2812 Lombard Ave. A candidate forum is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Jan. 26 in the same building.

Until making the appointment, the County Council will remain short-handed with four members.

To remain in office, the District 5 appointee will have to win a special election in November and run again in 2017 for a full four-year term.

EVERETT — Cassie Franklin, CEO of Cocoon House, was sworn in to the Everett City Council on Wednesday night. Franklin won the seat in the November election over 20-year incumbent Ron Gipson.

Superior Court Judge Joseph Wilson also swore in Judy Tuohy and Scott Bader, who both won re-election. Brenda Stonecipher, who also was re-elected, was not present,

but had been sworn in earlier, Bader said.

The council also elected Scott Murphy to be the council president for 2016, replacing Bader.

Bikini coffee stand burns; barista injured

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — A young woman was burned Thursday in a fire that broke out in a bikini barista stand along Everett Mall Way. The woman, who appeared to be in her 20s, was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

She was able to walk herself to a gurney, officials said.

The fire was reported about 4:45 p.m. It

apparently spread from the stand to a nearby car, Everett Assistant Fire Marshal Eric Hicks said.

The Sinners and Saints Coffee Co. stand, a temporary building, was destroyed.

Witnesses reported explosions, which may have been the car’s tires, Hicks said. The investigation was just getting started, he said.

Fire officials were waiting to interview the woman Thursday evening.

Puppets From Page A3

mentioned that “a giraffe can stand up above the stage. It would be so impressive.”

The artists told her to start creating one, and the first George was born.

“It wasn’t the most charming giraffe, but everyone who came into the studio and the kids, they loved it the best,” she said.

These days, George’s friends include a raccoon, a bear and mice.

“He’s the star of the show,” she said of the giraffe. “He’s just a really easy-mellow-going guy, and he dances.”

The puppets are made with cloth, foam, faux fur and other materials. Some of the puppets stolen over the weekend had elaborate inner mechanisms.

Each one was handmade with countless

hours of work.

Also stolen was expensive sound equipment and microphones, and a box containing party favors, balloons and crayons.

Friday is the company’s first scheduled show since the theft. It will take another two weeks to put the final touches on the new puppets, Allbright said.

She is hopeful the stolen puppets will show up. They can’t be of much use to the thieves.

Allbright is encouraging anyone who may know what happened to George to call the puppet company at 425-259-3988.

There is no information on any suspects, according to the police department.

FRIDAY, 01.08.2016

Feds revise dietary guidelines The Washington Post WASHINGTON — The federal government Thursday told Americans not to worry so much about cholesterol in their diets, that lots of coffee is fine and that skipping breakfast is no longer considered a health hazard.

The recommendations were part of a new “Dietary Guidelines for Americans,” the influential nutrition advice book that, updated every five years, expresses official thinking about what constitutes a nutritious meal.

In what may be the most striking change, the new version drops the strict limit on dietary cholesterol, stepping back from one of most prominent public health messages since the ’60s.

But there were other notable changes. Salt limits were

eased, if only slightly, for many people. Coffee won official approval for the first time, with the book saying that as many as five eight-ounce cups a day is fine. And skipping breakfast is no longer considered a health hazard: While the old version of Dietary Guidelines informed readers that “not eating breakfast has been associated with excess body weight,” the new version is silent on the topic.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans shape school lunches for millions of school children and serve as the basis of public health campaigns across the country aimed at reducing rates of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

In what may be its most controversial move, the new version of the Dietary Guidelines continues the government’s long-standing warning about foods rich in

saturated fats.

The issue of saturated fats — that is, those fats characteristic of meat and dairy products — is especially charged politically because it serves as a proxy for the arguments over the morality and health effects of meat consumption.

Nevertheless, the new version seems inconsistent in places, or torn between new science and past recommendations.

For example, the new book dropped the warning about dietary cholesterol from its key recommendations, and it no longer calls for people to limit their cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams per day. This change was recommended by its own expert committee, which found that cholesterol is no longer “a nutrient of concern.”

But elsewhere, the guidelines

cite a 16-year-old report from the Institute of Medicine and advises people to “eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asserted that the government’s advice, while changing with advances in science, has largely remained consistent over the years: Consume more fruits, vegetables and whole grains; consume less saturated fat, sodium and foods with added sugars, such as sweets and soft drinks.

“Americans will be familiar with the majority of our findings,” Burwell said.

“There’s been, obviously, a healthy debate about these guidelines,” Vilsack said. “I think that has been extraordinarily helpful.”

Sheriffs ask militants to leave “I’m here today to ask those folks to go home and let us get back to our lives,” Sheriff David Ward said.

WASHINGTON — Much of the national security leadership of the Obama administration is flying to California to seek tech firms’ help in figuring out how to thwart terrorists who use the Internet to recruit and radicalize and to plan attacks, according to U.S. officials.

Among those set to attend a meeting Friday with Silicon Valley top executives are Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, Obama counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers and Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

Companies sending senior executives include Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Apple’s Tim Cook also is expected to attend.

United faces disability fine United Airlines drew a $2.7 million fine from the government Thursday for violating rules aimed at protecting disabled passengers and preventing long tarmac delays. The Transportation Department said there was a significant increase in 2014 in disability-related complaints regarding United. A review found that United had failed to give passengers with disabilities prompt service getting on and off planes, and in many instances damaged or delayed the return of wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that fellow Sen. John McCain is calling for an exploration of his right to run for president because he intends to endorse Marco Rubio in the race.

McCain on Wednesday said questions about Cruz’s eligibility due to his being born in Canada should be explored, after Donald Trump raised concerns about it earlier in the week. Cruz has dismissed the issue, saying it’s part of the political “silly season” as Iowa’s Feb. 1 caucuses near. McCain said concerns raised by Trump over whether Cruz can be president are legitimate.

Harney County Sheriff David Ward meets with Ammon Bundy outside the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon, on Thursday.

occupying the Malheur Wildlife Refuge need to decamp immediately and be held accountable,” she said.

On Wednesday night, residents attended a community meeting to air their views about the two dozen or so armed men holed up at the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge south of Burns.

Locals said they sympathized with the armed group’s complaints about federal land management policies but disagreed with their tactics.

At that meeting, Ward said he hoped residents would put

up a united front to peacefully resolve the conflict with the group.

“I’m here today to ask those folks to go home and let us get back to our lives,” Ward said.

Schools were closed following the seizure of the refuge because of safety concerns in the small town in eastern Oregon’s high desert.

Bundy’s group, calling itself Citizens for Constitutional Freedom, says it wants an inquiry into whether the government is forcing ranchers off their land. Participants came from as far away as Arizona

and Michigan.

Bundy came to Burns to rally support for two local ranchers who were sentenced to prison on arson charges. The ranchers — Dwight Hammond and his son Steven Hammond — distanced themselves from Bundy’s group and reported to prison Monday.

The Hammonds were convicted of arson three years ago and served no more than a year. A judge later ruled that the terms fell short of minimum sentences requiring them to serve about four more years.

Vatican loans relic to Anglicans Associated Press VATICAN CITY — The Vatican is loaning a deeply symbolic religious relic to a meeting in Britain discussing the future of the 80 millionstrong Anglican Communion that has been badly divided over issues of female bishops and same-sex marriage.

The ivory top of the pastoral staff of St. Gregory the Great — the 6th-century pope who dispatched missionaries to England to spread Christianity — will be displayed in England’s Canterbury Cathedral before and after the Jan. 11-16 meeting of Anglican primates.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has summoned the 37 primates to discuss how the Communion can keep working together after it has been splintering for years over issues such as the ordination of female and gay bishops and the blessings of same-sex marriage.

Iowa: McCain on Ted Cruz

By Manuel Valdes BURNS, Ore. — Three Oregon sheriffs met Thursday with leaders of an armed group occupying a federal wildlife refuge in southeastern Oregon and asked them to leave, after residents made it clear they wanted them to go home.

Harney County Sheriff David Ward, accompanied by two other sheriffs, asked Ammon Bundy and his group to respect the wishes of residents and end their occupation.

“I’m here to offer safe escort out,” Ward told Bundy, according to The Oregonian. “Go back and kick it around with your folks.”

“There are some positives that can come out of this,” Ward said in the meeting, which occurred at the intersection of two remote roads.

Bundy told Ward he and his group were peaceful and were occupying the refuge because their complaints about federal land management policies have been ignored.

He and Ward agreed to talk again Friday.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday called the occupation “unlawful” and said it had to end.

“It was instigated by outsiders whose tactics we Oregonians don’t agree with.

The Vatican has watched from afar but nevertheless with alarm as the rift has widened, fearing that schism within the Anglican Communion will only complicate its own efforts

at promoting Christian unity.

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, the Vatican’s culture minister, authorized the loan of Gregory’s staff last month. He wrote that it was a “highly symbolic” relic

and a “mark of the bond that spiritually unites the Catholic and the Anglican churches.”

Gregory, who was pope from 540-604, sent a mission to England in 597 to bring Christianity to the region. The mission leader, Augustine, became the first archbishop of Canterbury, and both Augustine and Gregory remain important figures to the Anglican Church.

The dean of Canterbury Cathedral, the Very Rev. Robert Willis, said the loan of Gregory’s crozier was a sign of “ecumenical encouragement” during the primates’ meeting, as well as a link to Gregory.

The Catholic and Anglican churches split in 1534 after English King Henry VIII was refused a marriage annulment.

The idea to send the relic came from the Rev. Robert McCulloch, the Australian procurator general of the St. Columban Catholic missionary order. He will personally take the relic to Britain on Friday.

Planned Parenthood announced Thursday it has broken with its longstanding tradition of not endorsing candidates in presidential primaries to back Hillary Clinton. The move by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund is notable because its agenda is also embraced by Clinton’s rivals in the Democratic contest. It signals the organization’s anxiety about the general election, when a Democrat is expected to face a Republican hostile to abortion rights and funding for the women’s health services Planned Parenthood provides. The endorsement decision was made Sunday in Manchester.

Texas: ‘Affluenza’ mom The mother of a fugitive teen who used an “affluenza” defense after killing four people in a drunken crash was returned to Texas on Thursday to face a charge of helping her son evade capture. Tonya Couch, who was deported from Mexico last week, arrived on a flight from Los Angeles and was taken to Tarrant County Jail in handcuffs and leg irons. She is expected to be arraigned Friday on a charge of hindering the apprehension of a felon. Her bond was set at $1 million.

N. Jersey: Laser pointer Federal prosecutors are accusing a man of aiming a laser pointer at a TV station’s helicopter. Stiven LopezBender, 26, could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

Prosecutors said a helicopter for WABCTV in New York was covering a house fire in Elizabeth on Nov. 11 when a green laser was aimed at its flight deck.

They said a reporter and the pilot saw Lopez-Bender point a laser at the aircraft three more times. Aviation officials said laser light can blind pilots, creating a dangerous situation.

Port had very busy year Aerospace cargo is expected to stay strong this year, the Port of Everett says.

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — Construction work in Canada and undersea oil exploration off Alaska helped keep the Port of Everett busy this past year.

Port commissioners approved a

$78 million budget that includes $18.5 million in projects to help the port handle bigger cargo ships, which have been steadily growing since the 1950s.

Port officials expect traffic to drop slightly — about 4 percent — this year, largely due to lower prices for commodities, a niche business for the port.

Other challenges include lower oil prices, a strong U.S. dollar and ongoing economic sanctions on Russia, said Lisa Lefeber, the

port’s spokeswoman.

Aerospace cargo is expected to stay strong this year, she said.

Thousands of containers and pieces of oversized cargo arrive in Everett for Boeing’s nearby factory, where it assembles its twin-aisle jetliners.

In 2015, 195 cargo ships called at Everett, moving 422,488 tons of goods through the seaport.

That was highest number of ships since 2000, the most recent year for which data are immediately

available.

The cargo tonnage was the third highest amount handled by the port since 2000. It was down slightly from the 449,120 tons the port moved in 2014. The difference was from a drop in the amount of timber being shipped out of Everett.

In order to keep the city’s waterfront busy, the port plans to build longer berths to handle bigger See PORT, Page A8

New Afghan light-attack plane The U.S. has spent more than $2.5 billion since fiscal 2010 to train, equip and maintain Afghanistan’s air force.

attacks” and in casualties, according to a Pentagon report on Afghanistan last month.

The Afghan air force remains a modest operation compared with the U.S. Air Force and Navy, which provided combat support from advanced planes such as F-16s and F/A-18E/Fs before American combat was proclaimed officially over in 2014.

The U.S. has spent more than $2.5 billion since fiscal 2010 to train, equip and maintain the Afghan air force. It will require continued support for several years, according to the Pentagon report.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter underscored the importance of the A-29 on a visit to Afghanistan last month, spokesman Peter Cook said.

“Once fully capable, the A-29 will provide a precisionguided munitions capability and advanced sensors in addition to .50-caliber machine guns, rockets and general-purpose bombs,” Cook said. “This represents a significant increase in capability that will complement the MD-530 attack helicopters we are also providing the Afghans, as they build the capacity to secure the country on their own.”

A-29 pilots will use VHF/UHF radios to communicate with ground controllers to coordinate attacks, the Air Force said.

The successful training of Afghan pilots for the A-29 “marks a crucial milestone for empowering the Afghan people to take greater control of the security of their country,” said Republican

Rep. Austin Scott, whose district includes Moody Air Force Base.

Closely held Sierra Nevada Corp., based in Sparks, Nevada, and Embraer beat Beechcraft Corp. twice since 2011 in a fight for the A-29 contract that at the time was said to be valued at as much as $950 million.

The Air Force conducted two competitions, both won by Sierra Nevada. After the first award in 2011, Beechcraft sued the military over its exclusion. The Air Force held a second contest, and Sierra Nevada won again in February 2013.

The original contract called for all 20 aircraft to be delivered

by Jan. 31, 2014. After the first four are delivered this month, the current schedule calls for the remaining 16 to arrive by 2018.

Lowering standards undermines education

“W

hat gets measured gets managed.” This aging axiom of business is different from the vast majority of “sayings” that are supposed to convey the wisdom of the ages to management students — not only because it is true, but that its truth is even more relevant today than when it was first minted.

The flip side of the axiom also contains a truth. What is not measured is not managed.

Our measurement systems are a reflection of our values — the things we care about and the things we don’t. The design of a corporate information system, for example, might seem like a collection of tech-speak, bits and

JAMES McCUSKER bytes. But it really is a treasure map revealing not only what the organization believes is important now, but what it will value in the future.

Our educational system provided an excellent example of how measuring something elevates its importance so that it becomes a management priority

— and a reflection of our values.

For over a decade, a key element in our efforts to improve public education was the high school graduation rate. The nowdefunct No Child Left Behind Act included both goals for improving that rate and a sequence of economic consequences, rewarding progress and penalizing failure. The result: graduation rates improved.

There was an anomaly in the graduation rate data, though.

There was a requirement for students to take federally sponsored standardized tests in several grades, including the eleventh, and, of course, most of those planning on attending community or four-year colleges usually

took the SAT or ACT exams.

Graduation rates improved markedly, which, in theory, meant that student performance had improved. But there was no reflection of that improvement on the standardized tests. There also appeared to be no lessening in the need for remediation courses at community and fouryear colleges. Something wasn’t right, and some educators, analysts, and employers believed that standards had been lowered in order to manage the graduation rates.

The lowering of high school standards is not unprecedented, although it has not been See MCCUSKER, Page A8

Boeing passes Airbus in 2015 on planes built Boeing secured its position as the top airplane maker in the world for another year, surpassing Airbus in 2015 by delivering a record number of airplanes as production climbed relentlessly higher.

Boeing said Thursday it delivered 762 jets last year. That’s 39 more aircraft than in 2014.

Boeing also announced that it won 768 net firm orders in 2015, on par with management projections, though considerably fewer than the sales booked by Airbus. The Everett workforce built 91 Dreamliners, plus 98 large widebody 777 jets, 16 midsize widebody 767 jets and 18 jumbo jet 747s. Of the planes delivered in 2015, 44 were 787 Dreamliners assembled in North Charleston, S.C. The Renton workforce delivered a total of 495 single-aisle 737s, 10 more than last year and another record.

Audit finds glitch with Sea-Tac cabs

By Tony Capaccio WASHINGTON — The Afghan air force is about to receive a new light-attack aircraft from the U.S. to support ground troops with cannons, rockets and missiles as they battle resurgent Taliban forces.

After a two-year delay caused by a fight over award of the contract, the first four of 20 A-29 Super Tucano propeller planes made by Sierra Nevada Corp. and Brazilian subcontractor Embraer will arrive this month. The planes will be flown by four of the first Afghan pilots to graduate from flight school at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.

The unit will be declared ready to conduct operations in April, said U.S. Air Force Capt. Eydie Sakura, a spokeswoman for the 438th Air Expeditionary Wing.

“We’ll get them in the fight as soon we can,” Army Gen. John Campbell, the head of U.S. and NATO Afghan forces, said of the A-29s in testimony before a House panel in October.

“It would have been a gamechanger in some locations” if the planes had been available to help fight the Taliban last summer.

U.S. and Afghan officials see the new plane as a key step in building a capable air force for Afghanistan as U.S. and allied forces reduce their presence in a war that’s far from over. The security situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated since July “with an increase in effective insurgent

There’s no price tag yet for the kid version of the toothbrush, which should be available by April. The adult version, which looks almost identical but has a shorter battery life, sells for $149.

An audit has revealed that Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s contracted cab service owes the Port of Seattle hundreds of thousands of dollars after the company allegedly underreported fares to and from the airport. The audit released Wednesday said officials with both the port and Puget Sound Dispatch failed to monitor the contract that gave the cab company access to airport passengers. According to the audit, poor recordkeeping and lack of oversight led to underpayment by hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more.

Puget Sound Dispatch was required to pay either 13 percent of gross annual revenue or $3.6 million annually under its contract, which took effect in 2010.

Unemployment-aid applications decline Fewer people sought U.S. unemployment benefits last week, suggesting that the job market remains healthy and insulated from the turmoil abroad in Europe and China.

Applications for jobless aid fell 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 277,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.

The less volatile 4-week average dipped 1,250 to 275,750.

Over the past 12 months, the number of people receiving benefits has fallen 8.3 percent to 2.2 million.

Strike shuts down Rotterdam’s port Container workers at Europe’s largest port, Rotterdam, have gone on strike for 24 hours in an attempt to force management back to the table for talks on job security.

A spokeswoman for the port said seven container ships already docked are likely to be affected along with three more expected to arrive during the strike. An FNV union spokeswoman said 800 workers are expected to be involved in the strike, which started Thursday.

Unions want a deal that will prevent job cuts before 2020 despite machines increasingly taking over the work of harbor workers.

FRIDAY, 01.08.2016

WASHINGTON — In less than two weeks, taxpayers will be able to file their tax returns. But many taxpayers will have to wait longer to cash out their tax refunds thanks to new efforts from the IRS and state tax authorities to catch tax fraud.

Illinois became the first state to announce this week that it will delay tax refunds to have more time to verify tax returns. State tax refunds won’t be issued until after March 1, the state’s department of revenue announced Monday.

The move comes at a time when tax-related identity theft is a growing problem for tax groups, including the IRS and state tax authorities. An apparent spike in suspicious returns during the last filing season led to a series

of new efforts from the IRS, state tax authorities and the tax preparation industry to cut down on refund theft during the upcoming filing season, which starts Jan. 19.

“By delaying tax refunds by just a few weeks, we’ll be able to better detect attempts at identity theft and ensure taxpayer refunds do not fall needlessly into the hands of criminals,” said Connie Beard, the director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. Separate fraud prevention steps taken by the department during the last filing season saved the state from paying about $5 million in fraudulent refunds, Beard said.

This year, state tax agencies are partnering with the IRS and tax preparation companies to share information about suspicious tax returns in an effort to catch

tax fraud as it happens.

Many states have been revising their fraud filters to identify the phony returns being filed by criminals to steal fraudulent tax refunds.

For example, Alabama is asking taxpayers to fill out questionnaires meant to help verify their identities, before tax refunds are paid out. The state is also asking employers to send W2 forms earlier, by the end of January, so that it can have the data available to help verify tax returns as they come in, said Julie Magee, commissioner of revenue for Alabama. All suspicious returns, such as those with employment information that doesn’t match their records, will be held until they can confirm a person’s identity, Magee said in an interview last fall. “Or we won’t pay them at all,” she said.

Some taxpayers also

Stocks and oil prices plunged again Thursday on spreading fears about the health of China’s economy. The market suffered its worst day in more than three months, with tech and financial stocks hit the hardest.

faced delays with their federal tax refunds last year because of added fraud prevention efforts, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson said in her annual report to Congress, released this week. More than 40 percent of the 4.8 million tax returns flagged by the IRS’s fraud filters during the last filing season were filed by legitimate taxpayers, up from 20 percent the year before, Olson said. But those delays may affect a small percentage of taxpayers.

The IRS said in late December that it still expects to pay out roughly 90 percent of tax refunds within their typical time frame of three weeks or less during the next filing season. The agency said filing electronically and using direct deposit can help people receive funds more quickly.

This past August, the Westwood Robson arrived

in Everett to deliver aerospace parts and general cargo from Japan. The ship had to dock at the port’s Pier 1, the only berth big enough to handle the 686-foot-long container ship. Even then, the ship’s bow stuck out 36 feet past the pier into the waterway.

We are committed to enhancing our facilities to meet current and future customer needs.

— Carl Wollebek, Port COO

enhancing our facilities to meet current and future customer needs, and to stay competitive in the global marketplace,” Port Chief Operating Officer Carl Wollebek said. “Industry trends are calling for larger berths to accommodate larger vessels, so that’s what we are going to do.”

The port plans to spend $18.5 million this year to upgrade facilities for bigger ships. The work includes

harbor dredging, improving the port’s railroad connections, purchasing cargo handling equipment and planning for extending shipping berths.

In all, port officials expect it will cost about $313 million to do all the necessary work to handle the bigger ships.

systematically measured — or managed. For years it has been apparent that the shortfalls of our K-12 system have been pushed forward, most visibly to our higher education institutions. Even the least demanding of these colleges and universities have encountered increasing numbers of entering students who lack the academic skills, study habits, and selfdiscipline to complete college level coursework.

In earlier times, underperforming students would drop out of college with little more than wounded pride. In today’s world, though, students often drop out of courses and programs with not only wounded pride but also the substantial financial burden of student loan debt to show for their efforts.

In the minds of many people, lowering academic standards and pushing skill shortcomings forward to higher education had a certain amount of justification. Among the reasons behind this thinking was the idea that motivation was more important than acquired skills — which is often true — and that students who wanted to pursue their education could be quickly brought up to speed in college.

Of the many things that could and did go wrong with that idea, probably the most toxic is that pushing the problem forward achieved a double-whammy of unintended consequences: It undermined the value of a high school diploma, and, with some assistance, managed to undermine the value of a college degree, too.

This is bound, in turn,

to undermine efforts to motivate students at all levels.

While too many of our high school students are not up to speed in academic subjects and skills, that doesn’t mean that they are unaware or incapable of understanding what is happening to the value of the diplomas they are working toward.

Some years ago, a young Coast Guardsman I had known stopped by to see me on his way to his new assignment in Alaska. He was sporting an extra stripe on his uniform sleeve, indicating that he had been promoted to second class petty officer. It’s an important career step and I congratulated him on his achievement. We talked for a bit, and eventually he said that he was glad for the promotion, and the pay raise, but “everybody in the department got promoted,” and that he, “wished he had gotten it under an officer who wasn’t just trying to buy some popularity. It would have meant more to me then.”

Under the new Every Student Succeeds Act it is not clear how priorities will be reset as individual states reassume responsibility for school performance. But one thing won’t change.

What gets measured gets managed, and what gets managed reveals our values. We cannot undermine our standards and expect that it will not affect how students look at their education. It should mean something.

Officials find a unified voice County Committee for Improved Transportation and the Economic Alliance to prioritize the county’s transportation projects, a task that the Economic Alliance’s new CEO Patrick Pierce agreed to take on.

Human services: With a recent $1 million federal grant in hand, work is expected to begin soon on a project to turn the historic Carnegie Library building in Everett into temporary housing for those leaving jail and offering services that will help them avoid recidivism, explained the county’s Human Services Director Mary Jane Brell Vujovic. But more is needed to provide low-barrier housing to those whose mental health issues and chemical dependency contribute to their homelessness.

Housing vouchers and subsidized housing can be effective, Brell Vujovic said, but are less helpful in the tight housing market now seen in many areas of the county.

She called for more publicly funded and managed housing near transportation and services. Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, recommended an inventory of properties, specifically mentioning a downtown Everett motel on Broadway that fits the description.

Beyond housing, Rep. Ruth Kagi, D-Shoreline, encouraged attention on childhood mental

health issues. Expulsion rates among preschoolers, she explained following the meeting, are three times that of children in K-12. Any delay in assistance complicates learning as children develop and can follow them into adulthood. Brell Vujovic agreed, encouraging “two-generation services” for families in need of mental health assistance.

Brell Vujovic and Earling also praised recent efforts in Everett and the south county to send mental health counselors with police and paramedics to better connect some they encounter with needed services rather than jail or the emergency room.

Economy and higher education: Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, said a better connection is needed between urban and rural economic interests to encourage investment in those areas.

Sen. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, agreed: “People need to realize that the blueberries in their smoothies have to be grown somewhere.” Smith said farmers and growers need help to ease regulations and address workforce challenges.

The Alliance’s Pierce noted the opportunities in the county for wood products, such as cross-laminated timber; the growth in craft beers and spirits; and outdoor recreation. Pierce also said the recently completed economic development plan for Oso and

the Stillaguamish Valley offers a blueprint for similar efforts in the county’s rural areas.

There’s also support for launching new agricultural degree programs through Washington State University at its North Puget Sound center in Everett, said Pierce, although funding wasn’t included in the governor’s budget. There is funding for a science, technology, engineering and mathematics building at Edmonds Community College, he said.

Taxes: Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett, said more work is needed to track the effectiveness of tax exemptions, to show if and how those are promoting jobs.

Seeing all that could be funded but the shortage of revenue to fund it all, Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Shoreline, said the Legislature will need to address tax reform.

Last year’s successful campaign to win funding for transportation projects in the county showed what local officials and lawmakers could accomplish with a unified voice, said Edmonds Mayor Earling.

Thursday’s meeting shows the solutions are there; the trick will be in securing funding, clearing roadblocks and finding the flexibility to bridge and expand existing programs.

That unified voice will be needed.

who made it happen, in the freezing and snowy conditions.

The well-stated letters from Doug Beyerlein, “Can’t let fear govern actions,” and Dan Postema, “Obama is not, in fact, to blame,” were a joy to read.

Dan Postema’s proposal, to have fifth-graders fact check letters before they are

published, seems like an excellent idea to me. All news media could benefit from this.

It seems to me that too much fact-less rhetoric, spewed by Obama bashers, has been allowed in the paper and on the airwaves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EUGENE ROBINSON

Doesn’t get the big distinctions Eugene Robinson’s column “Holding fire when it’s white guys with guns” illustrates just how out-of-whack some people’s thinking is.

He somehow doesn’t understand the distinction between a black community rioting and looting over a conceived wrong by government officials and; some whites, albeit armed, having a sit-in. He then clumsily spins the GOP message of taking back our country as being inclusive to whites, rather than what was intended, that being for all citizens.

The real problem is that everyone is fed-up with the Great Divider, (Obama’s) and his Democrats’ efforts the past seven years of pitting honest, hard-working Americans against one another. They’re screaming, enough already!

OTHER VOICES | Criminal charges against Bill Cosby

Cosby bears blame for loss of public respect

By The Washington Post Editorial Board

T

he decision by prosecutors in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to bring 12-year-old sexual assault charges against Bill Cosby was greeted with elation by women who say they too were victimized by the comedian.

“The best Christmas present they’ve ever received,” attorney Gloria Allred said of women she is representing in their civil claims against Cosby. That reaction is understandable, particularly since the allegations of sexual abuse were too long brushed aside.

It’s hard, though, for us to feel anything but sadness — at the pain these women said they experienced and at the crumbling of an icon who was once revered for the good he

did and for his ability to get us to laugh.

It was hard to see that man — the one who brought the world Cliff Huxtable and Fat Albert — in the frail 78-yearold who was arraigned Wednesday on three felony charges of aggravated indecent assault. Cosby is accused of drugging and sexually abusing a young woman he had mentored; the alleged incident took place at his suburban Philadelphia home on a January night in 2004. Attorneys for Cosby denied the charges. “Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law,” they said in a statement.

The accused are presumed innocent, and it will be up to a jury to decide whether Cosby

is guilty of these charges. It is hard, though, to accept claims of no wrongdoing

by Cosby, given the sordid stories that have blotted his career. Andrea Constand, the alleged victim in the Pennsylvania case, is not alone in her accusations of abuse. More than 50 women have come forward with eerily similar — and credible — recollections.

Cosby’s own words in a deposition in a civil suit brought

by Constand damn him; he acknowledged securing drugs with the aim of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with.

That deposition, which Cosby never thought would become public and which he fought to keep secret, apparently provided the additional evidence prosecutors said they needed to bring charges against him before the statute

IN OUR VIEW | Legislature 2016

The ideas flowed during a Thursday morning meeting among members of Snohomish County’s legislative delegation and officials from the county, its cities and Economic Alliance Snohomish County. Priorities and recommendations for action were discussed, not just for the 60-day legislative session that begins Monday but for what comes after.

Though it’s certain to get most of the attention during the session, the issue over K-12 education funding wasn’t touched on. Instead the talk centered on transportation, human services, the economy, higher education and taxes; local officials suggesting where legislators could focus attention, and legislators seeking help from local officials.

Transportation: Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling, while noting the accomplishment in securing $670 million in the 16-year transportation package, said work remains to secure $3 million for work on the U.S. 2 trestle; funding for the public works trust fund that local governments rely on to quickly and inexpensively fund maintenance; support a Sound Transit 3 route that includes the manufacturing base at Paine Field; and moving up the timeline on transportation projects.

Toward that end, Sen. Marco Liaas, D-Lynnwood, encouraged the Snohomish

of limitations expired. Still, as legal experts point out, prosecutors face challenges with a case so old and one that previous prosecutors decided not to press.

Whatever the outcome of the legal case, another verdict — the one about Cosby’s legacy — has already been rendered: It is irretrievably gone. The inspiring messages embodied in his career — about the importance of family, self-reliance and understanding among the races — have been dirtied.

Those who have been most hurt, including the women he allegedly abused, are the people who once looked up to him. For that, Cosby must bear the guilt.

The above editorial appeared in Saturday’s Washington Post.

Capitulation by Obama a signal to foes, allies

I

f you’re going to engage in a foreign policy capitulation, might as well do it when everyone is getting tanked and otherwise occupied. Say, New Year’s Eve. Here’s the story: In October, Iran test-fires a nuclearcapable ballistic missile in brazen violation of unanimous SecurityCouncilresolutions.

President CHARLES Obama does KRAUTHAMMER nothing.

One month later, Iran does it again. The administration makes a few gestures at the U.N. Then nothing. Then finally, on Dec. 30, the White House announces a few sanctions.

They are weak, aimed mostly at individuals and designed essentially for show.

Amazingly, even that proves too much.

By 10 that night, the administration caves.

The White House sends out an email saying that sanctions are off — and the Iranian president orders the military to expedite the missile program.

Is there any red line left? First, the Syrian chemical weapons. Then the administration insistence that there would be no nuclear deal unless Iran accounted for its past nuclear activities. (It didn’t.)

And unless Iran permitted inspection of its Parchin nuclear testing facility. (It was allowed self-inspection and declared itself clean.) And now, illegal ballistic missiles.

The premise of the nuclear deal was that it would constrain Iranian actions. It’s had precisely the opposite effect. It has deterred us from offering even the mildest pushback to any Iranian violations lest Iran walk away and leave Obama legacy-less.

Just two weeks ago, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards conducted live-fire exercises near the Strait of Hormuz. It gave nearby U.S. vessels exactly 23 seconds of warning.

One rocket was launched 1,500 yards from the USS Harry S. Truman.

Obama’s response? None.

The Gulf Arabs — rich, weak and, since FDR, dependent on America for security — are bewildered. They’re still reeling from the nuclear deal, which Obama declared would be unaffected by Iranian misbehavior elsewhere. The result was to assure Tehran that it would pay no price for its aggression in Syria and Yemen, subversion in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and support for terrorism.

Obama seems not to understand that disconnecting the nuclear issue gave the mullahs license to hunt in the region. For the Saudis, however, it’s not just blundering but betrayal. From the very beginning, they’ve seen Obama tilting toward Tehran as he fancies himself Nixon in China, turning Iran into a strategic partner in managing the Middle East.

This is even scarier because it is delusional. If anything, Obama’s openhanded appeasement has encouraged Iran’s regional adventurism and intense anti-Americanism.

The Saudis, sensing abandonment, are near panic. Hence the reckless execution of the firebrand Shiite insurrectionist, Sheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr, that has brought the region to a boil. Iranians torched the Saudi Embassy.

The Saudis feel surrounded, and it’s not paranoia. To their north, Iran dominates a Shiite crescent stretching from Iraq, Syria and Lebanon to the Mediterranean. To the Saudi south, Iran has been arming Yemen’s Houthi rebels since at least 2009.

For years, Iran has been supporting anti-regime agitation among Saudi Arabia’s minority Shiites. The fall of the House of Saud would make Iran the undisputed regional hegemon and an emerging global power.

For the United States, that would be the greatest geopolitical setback since China fell to communism in 1949. Yet Obama seems oblivious. Worse, he appears inert in the face of the three great challenges to the post-Cold War American order. Iran is only the most glaring. China is challenging the status quo in the South China Sea, just last week landing its first aircraft on an artificial island hundreds of miles beyond the Chinese coast. We deny China’s claim and declare these to be international waters, yet last month we meekly apologized when a B-52 overflew one of the islands.

To the other great U.S. adversary — Russia; what’s happened to Obama’s vaunted “isolation” of Russia for its annexation of Crimea? Gone. Evaporated. Obama meets openly with Vladimir Putin in Turkey, then in Paris. And is now practically begging him to join our side in Syria.

There is no price for defying Pax Americana — not even trivial sanctions on Iranian missile-enablers. Our enemies know it. Our allies see it — and sense they’re on their own, and may not survive.

Beyonce to perform at Super Bowl halftime show next month

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — Beyonce is returning to the Super Bowl halftime show.

Life From Page A1

the afternoon off from taekwondo to hang out with her classmate, Xianna Matthews, a couple of blocks away.

The two were playing outside with the puppy, not doing anything strenuous, when Jasmine keeled over.

Xianna rummaged through her friend’s pockets where she found her cellphone, scrolled down the contact list and called the number for Jasmine’s mom.

Crystalle Green’s cellphone was in her purse in the kitchen. She was in a bedroom and didn’t hear it ringing.

Her husband, Robby, did, but he’d never been one to venture into his wife’s purse. For some reason, at that moment on that day, he dug in. The incoming number was from Jasmine’s phone. He answered and handed the phone to his wife.

Xianna explained that Jasmine fell, was unconscious and Green needed to come right away.

Green told Xianna to call 911. She jumped into her car and arrived a minute later.

Something didn’t add up

Pepsi confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that the 34-yearold singer will perform at the Feb. 7 show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara,

California. Last month, Coldplay announced they would perform at the halftime show.

Beyonce headlined the 2013 Pepsi Super Bowl

halftime show in New Orleans at the Superdome, where she was joined by her Destiny Child’s bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Katy Perry, who performed at last year’s Super Bowl, had the mostwatched halftime show in history with 118 million viewers.

Other past halftime headliners include Bruno Mars, Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and the Rolling Stones.

for Green, a medical assistant, when she first saw her daughter.

If all Jasmine did was fall and hit her head, why wasn’t she breathing?

Jasmine was born with a hole in her heart. The defect was surgically repaired 11 years ago.

All her checkups with cardiologists had been positive. She was a healthy saxophone-playing, horseback-riding, martial arts student who’d earned the rank of red belt, just below black belt, in taekwondo.

By her calculations, Green had a half second to react.

She couldn’t cry. There was no time.

She began CPR with Xianna’s mother relaying advice from a 911 dispatcher.

For four minutes, an eternity it seemed, Green pushed on her daughter’s chest. She wanted to take breaks to give her daughter air, but was told to stick with the compressions.

Jones and EMT Duncan were the first medical team to arrive. On the way, Jones thought that the patient’s age must have been reported wrong.

Over the years, he’d tended babies born with life-threatening conditions and older teens who’d overdosed, but a

12-year-old girl with cardiac arrest was a call he’d never encountered.

When he came upon Green hunched over her daughter, he was struck by the mother’s chest compressions. Their depth, their rate, their location, were all spot on. The technique was textbook.

“Mom, you have done a good job,” he told her. “We are here now.”

They brought out a defibrillator, placed the paddles on the child’s chest and pumped 200 joules of electrical current to her heart before resuming CPR. They inserted a breathing tube and gave her sedatives.

Jasmine made a slight grunting sound. There was a hint of purposeful movement, a first sign of hope.

Jones briefed an emergency room doctor at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett on the drive there. Yes, he repeated, they were bringing in a 12-year-old girl with cardiac arrest.

In the ER, the medical team took over, preparing Jasmine for the helicopter flight to Children’s Hospital in Seattle.

There were some positive signs.

Green climbed in beside the pilot, her daughter tended to by a medical team in the back. As the

helicopter whirred away, paramedic Jones highfived the ER medical staff in Everett: The child was alive.

At Children’s, Jasmine’s condition improved rapidly. By 1 a.m., she was taken off the ventilator.

That night, Green met with Jasmine’s longtime cardiologist, Dr. Aarti Bhat.

“She is almost our black belt,” the doctor told her. “This is our Jasmine.

This isn’t supposed to happen.”

It turned out that Jasmine’s cardiac arrest was unrelated to her birth defect. It was an electrical issue with her heart called ventricular defibrillation.

As she recovered, Jasmine would wake up, ask a few questions then slip back into sleep.

Typically, the conversations were short with Jasmine asking where she was and what had happened.

There were other memorable moments, both comical and profound.

“Mommy, where’s my retainer?” Jasmine would ask.

Even in her narcotic haze, Jasmine was ever conscientious. One of the family’s pugs chewed up her last one and she worried. This one, too, was a lost cause. It flipped out of her mouth during CPR.

Jasmine also told her mom that she saw her standing on the sidewalk and “my angels brought me to you.”

And: “When someone sets your limit, you grab the bar and rise above.”

Her mother is mystified by the words that came out of Jasmine’s mouth.

“That was not her terminology,” Green said.

“It was not a series of words she would have put together.”

Green was thankful for all the support her daughter received. Jasmine’s father, Donnie Andrews, caught the first flight he could find out of Kodiak, Alaska, to be by her side as she healed.

During her hospital stay, doctors implanted in Jasmine a device that is both a pacemaker and defibrillator. It can be monitored from Seattle and adjusted remotely.

Jasmine came home on Halloween. She didn’t get to dress up as a huntress with bow and arrow as she’d planned, but her 5-year-old brother, Eric, and her cousins collected a bounty of candy for her.

Two weeks later, Jasmine returned to school. More than 20 friends volunteered to carry her books and run interference. Word spread quickly that the girl who nearly died was back in class.

Jasmine can no longer engage in contact sports, which means she’ll likely never get to earn her black belt. She’s back playing the saxophone in band and looking forward to getting a new horse. She’s also grateful to strangers and friends, particularly Xianna.

“We’re even closer now because of it,” she said.

Green often thinks about that day, how everything in life can change in an instant, how she thought she was going to crack every rib in her daughter’s chest during CPR and how important it is for others to know the life-saving technique.

She is hoping to see it taught in earlier grades, which also is a goal of the Lake Stevens Fire District.

“We are going in that direction,” assistant fire marshal David Petersen said.

As with many 911 calls, Jones replays what happened. He credits Green with saving her daughter’s life. He wonders if there was anything that could have been done better. Two months later, he can’t think of anything.

“You are just on Cloud 9,” he said after meeting with Jasmine. “These are the cases you love.”

2016 Audi A3: handles will little effort, delivers on luxury ROAD TEST

by Larry Lark Herald Special Sections Writer

A

udi’s A3 may be the baby and entry-point into the luxury German automaker’s portfolio – but it sacrifices nothing except size and price. The car just goes and goes and goes. And it handles with all the effort required from one’s pinky finger.

My A3 2.0T Quattro S-tronic “Prestige” premium compact sedan tester did not compromise on luxury, design or performance. In fact, it delivers the same progressive technology and quality craftsmanship as the rest of the Audi fleet.

The car is offered in a base premium package, Premium Plus and Prestige models, A3 Cabriolet, A3 TDI clean diesel, the high-performance S3 sedan, and the A3 Sportback e-tron gasoline electric hybrid to provide spoiled consumers kid-in-a-candy-store choices.

For those looking for the basics, the sporty A3 seats four adults in leather-ensconced comfort, includes a usable trunk large enough for weekend getaways and limited golf gear, and receives an EPA-rated 33 miles per gallon down the highway and combined city/highway rating of 27.

A3 is powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder

engine, mated to s six-speed S-tronic automatic transmission, and produces 220 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. This dynamic duo is smoother than an 18-year-old, single-malt scotch, and just as intoxicating.

The optional Audi drive select system allows the driver to adjust throttle response, shift points, and the electromechanical steering effort. Similar to other Audi models, Audi drive select has four settings that include

auto, dynamic, comfort and individual.

My “Prestige” tester, which adds $8,850 in options, is highlighted by 18-inch, 10-spoke wheels, heated power front seats, LED interior lighting, adaptive cruise control and active lane assist.

Interior cues are equal parts old school and “Star Wars.” The rich, supple leather seats seduce the senses while an ultra-thin, MMI (multi-media interface) operating system magically ascends from the wrap-around dash to provide the controls for the car’s navigation system, Bang &

Olufsen audio, Bluetooth, and even read-aloud Twitter and Facebook alerts.

The exterior of the A3 has been tailored to meet the sedan preferences of the American market. It stretches 175.5 inches in length, has a 103.8 inch wheelbase.

My tester also included cool, Xenon-plus headlights with LED daytime running lights and taillights that make Audi’s look mean – like the eye in the Seahawk logo.

Other standard comfort and convenience features include a panorama sunroof with retractable sunshade, dual-zone climate control, 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a rain/light sensor.

On the safety side of the equation, A3 deliver electronic stability control with secondary collision brake assist, anti-lock brakes, quattro all-wheel drive system, electromechanical speed-sensitive power steering, and an anti-theft vehicle alarm system Q

2016 Chevrolet Camaro:

Great road car

By FRANK A. AUKOFER AutoWriters Associates

I

t’s back to the future for the Chevrolet Camaro, one of the original so-called pony cars that thrilled enthusiasts in the last half of the 20th century.

Introduced in 1967 as Chevrolet’s answer to the wildly popular Ford Mustang that had debuted in 1964, the Camaro exhibited a lightness of being that now entices collectors willing to spend in the high six figures for the coveted 1969 model.

Victimized by slow sales, the Camaro went away between 2002 and 2009, but returned the next year during a resurgence of interest in American sports coupes.

Though the 2010 model had fresh styling, it also had a hulking, tank-like personality, complete with a high beltline that made the windows look like the slits on a World War II machine gun pillbox.

The fortress windows continue for 2016, so adjust your outside mirrors properly to eliminate blind spots. In other respects, the new Camaro returns to its roots as a spiritual descendant of the original.

Though still resembling its predecessor, its styling is more “Dancing with the Stars” than “WWE Knockdown.”

To introduce the 2016 Camaro, Chev-

rolet’s promotion gurus devised driving routes for automobile reviewers; called “#FindNewRoads,” the routes were designed to touch all of the 48 contiguous states in North America. This review is based on a nearly 800-mile drive between Nashville and Kansas City.

This route took drivers — including a couple of veteran car guys who were doing a story on southern-style barbecued ribs and brisket — to Memphis, Tenn.; Columbia, Mo.; Kansas City, Kan.; and Kansas City, Mo. Though the 2016 Camaro can be ordered with three different engines and two

transmissions, the test car for this review was a 2LT model with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox: a true enthusiast’s setup. The engine delivers 335 horsepower and 284 lb.-ft. of torque.

Other versions use a 275-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or the real hot number: a 455 hp, 455 lb.-ft., 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Chevrolet’s tests rate the 0-to-60-mph acceleration times from 4.0 seconds for the V-8 automatic to 5.5 seconds for the 2.0-liter four — a distinction without much of a difference in daily driving.

On the tested 3.5-liter V-6 with the six-speed manual, the 0-to-60 mph time was listed at 5.2 seconds.

But based on driving of nearly 800 miles, that’s not really what that Camaro is all about.

With a time like that, you could smoke any number of cars in the stoplight sprints. But this trip comprised mainly Interstate driving, mostly at 75 mph, where the V-6’s cylin-

der deactivation, which enables three of the six cylinders to shut down at cruising speeds to enhance fuel economy, resulted in an end-of-trip average of 27.8 mpg.

That’s acceptable in any company, and real tightwad stuff in places in Missouri where the price of regular gasoline was $1.85 a gallon. It proves you can have your sports car without emptying your wallet.

But that was not the best part: This Camaro, in addition to its sporting looks and precise handling, is a superb road car that can eat up the miles without tiring the driver. There’s only one caveat: rough surfaces produce resonance in the interior that becomes so noisy you can barely hear the excellent audio system unless the volume is cranked way up.

Set the cruise control and relax in the superbly supportive driver’s seat and settle in for hours of comfortable cruising without muscle aches or any need to shift positions. The cruise control is uncannily accurate, maintaining set speeds up and down hills, and the Camaro tracks true down the road with a confident, solid feel and little need for steering corrections.

With a base price of $30,795 and a full load of options most buyers would want these days, the test car had a sticker of $38,830. That’s almost democratic, with a small “d,” for a cool sports coupe.

P

remium-grade full-size pickups are in high demand. GMC reports about half of the Sierra 1500 models sold are the premium top-line SLT and Denali models.

While capability is high on the list of reasons consumers buy the high-end trucks, styling is the No. 1 draw, said Stu Pierce, marketing manager for GMC pickups. Addressing this demand, designers have upped the visual appeal of the 2016 Sierra 1500 model and increased differentiation between trim levels.

Denali — GMC’s ultimate model — is bolder and more eyegrabbing than ever. Its freshened form is available for 2016 only as a crew cab with a choice of short box 5-foot-8-inch or standard 6-foot-6-inch box. Pricing starts at $50,415.

The most significant exterior change for 2016 is with the signature Denali grille, which continues to provide a pleasing blast of chrome, but with an allnew design.

The grille is deeper, and a thicker chrome surround plunges into the resculpted body-colored bumper and rises to meet the elevated hood. Instead of the traditional single field of slotted chrome, the new grille is tri-segment textured with prominent red “GMC” lettering straddling the upper two tiers.

Headlamps also have a larger,

in-your-face look and feature LED lighting, including C-shaped LED daytime running lights and thinprofile LED fog lights. IntelliBeam headlamps are available as part of a $550 Enhanced Driver Alert Package. IntelliBeam automatically turns high beams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. The package also includes lane-keep assist, front- and rear-park assist, forward-collision alert and safety-alert seat.

Denali’s redesigned taillamps feature the glow of LED lighting in a distinctive C shape. LED lighting also illuminates the cargo box. A factory spray-on bedliner protects the bed, which is adorned with a large GMC logo. Convenience is added to toting cargo via four movable upper tie-downs, and a remote-locking EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate.

Denali models roll on standard 20-inch ultra-bright machinedaluminum wheels, and can be upgraded with a selection of 22-inch wheels for a $2,995 investment.

Six-inch chrome rectangular assist steps are standard, and new-for-2016 power-articulating assist steps are available. Adding $995 to the price tag, the power steps appear from under the cab when a door opens and retract when doors are closed. Kick a large button on the end of the extended step and it moves backward, into position as a bed step.

Stepping into the cab, passengers experience the signature premium Denali look and feel with perforated leather upholstery

2016 GMC Sierra Denali:

Pumps Out Style, Brawn and genuine aluminum trim.

Those onboard are pampered with 10-way power driver and front-passenger seats, heated and vented front bucket seats, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and dual-zone climate control.

The driver can keep tabs on information such as navigation and audio settings on a customizable driver display located within the gauge cluster. An 8-inch color touch-screen on the center panel allows the driver to control the Bose radio, navigation system, IntelliLink infotainment system, Bluetooth-linked phones and USB-connected portable devices.

Images from the standard rearvision camera also appear on the screen.

Sound-isolation measures such as triple-sealed doors and generous use of sound-deadening

materials keep the cab environment quiet. Denali takes a leap into the future of interior sound control with an available active noise-cancellation system. It’s a $2,495 option that pairs only with the 6.2-liter V-8. The system detects engine sound through microphones and cancels excessive noise by generating opposite wave sounds from the audio speakers.

Standard muscle for the pickup is the 5.3-liter V-8. It delivers 355 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 383 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,100 rpm. New for 2016, the 5.3-liter is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine uses regular-unleaded gas, and fuel economy figures haven’t been announced. Maximum trailer towing is 11,100 pounds.

The 6.2-liter V-8 cranks out

420 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 460 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,100 rpm.

The engine is partnered with an eight-speed automatic transmission and runs on recommended premium gas. Its estimated fuel economy for 2WD and 4WD models is 15 miles per gallon city and 21 mpg highway. Trailer-towing capacity is 12,000 pounds.

Exclusive to Sierra Denali is magnetic ride control, which features real-time damping. The system controls body motion, providing a stable, compliant ride without sacrificing trailering or payload capability.

Blending extra doses of premium look and luxury/convenience features into the Denali formula helps assure the 2016 model will continue as a powerful competitor in the hotly contested upscalepickup market.

Bruins become top dogs Cascade tops perennial powerhouse Jackson 66-54 in Wesco 4A clash

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — The Cascade boys basketball team received a No. 3 ranking among Class 4A teams this week in the season’s first state poll, which is a pretty big deal for the Bruins.

But on Thursday night Cascade pulled off perhaps an even bigger feat, beating Jackson for the first time in well over a decade. The Bruins shrugged off a sluggish start to build a big lead through three quarters and then hung on through a rag-tag fourth quarter for a 66-54 victory in a first-place Wesco 4A showdown.

Senior guard Drew Magaoay scored 27 points and senior center Isaiah Gotell added 15 as Cascade improved to 5-0 in conference and 11-0 overall while getting the team’s first win against Jackson in Steve Johnson’s tenure as Timberwolves coach. Johnson is in his 14th season.

“This is a big win,” Bruins coach Darrell McNeal said. “Like I told our boys coming in, we’re the underdogs. Jackson was supposed to be down last year, but they won the league and they won districts ... so it was important that we could play with them

EVERETT — Carter Hart received the news just before he stepped on the ice for practice Thursday morning.

Hart, the Everett Silvertips’ 17-year-old goaltender, learned he was one of 40 CHL players chosen for the 2016 BMO CHL/ NHL Top Prospects Game scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 28 at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C. “I honestly didn’t know when it was happening,” Hart said. “I just got to the rink this morning and (Silvertips assistant coach) Mitch Love grabbed me and told me. I was a little bit surprised and I’m excited for Carter Hart the opportunity.”

The 21st annual event features the top 40 draft-eligible CHL players divided into the two teams.

The teams are coached by CBC broadcaster and former NHL head coach Don Cherry, and legendary former NHL player Bobby Orr. Hart will play for Team Orr. “He’s worked hard and he’s a good goalie,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “We are excited for him. He’s had a little bit of a taste of the Hockey Canada stuff and now this.”

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks are checking their supply of puffy jackets and hand warmers. They’re making sure they’re fully stocked in earmuffs and mittens.

In two days they’re embarking on the NFL equivalent of a journey to the Arctic Circle.

Seattle’s wild-card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday is projected to be one of the coldest in NFL history, and the Seahawks are doing everything within their power to make sure the extreme cold doesn’t affect their play.

“They always say, ‘Think warm thoughts,’” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said.

“I’ll be on a beach in Tahiti somewhere.”

As of Thursday, the National Weather Service was forecasting the temperature at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to

The coldest NFL games on record are the Ice Bowl between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers on Dec. 31, 1967 (-13, -48 degrees wind chill), and the Jan. 10, 1982, playoff game between the San Diego Chargers and Bengals at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium (-9, -56 wind chill).

Seattle’s game against Minnesota on Sunday is forecasted to be 2 degrees at kickoff.

There was never much doubt — was there? — that Ken Griffey Jr. would be wearing a Mariners cap this July when he enters the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Well, now it’s official.

“I’m going to go into the (Hall of Fame) weekend with a Seattle Mariners hat on,” Griffey confirmed Thursday at a news conference in New York.

“I played 13 years in Seattle, which is longer than the other two teams I played for — Chicago (White Sox) and Cincinnati. I think I did most of my damage as a Mariner.”

Second question: Will Griffey wear the cap forward or backward?

“Forward,” he declared before pausing. “And then backwards.”

Griffey, 46, won election Wednesday to the Hall of Fame by garnering a record 99.3 percent of the vote in balloting by 440 qualified members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

The previous record was 98.4 percent in 1992. Griffey missed by just three votes from being a unanimous selection.

Catcher Mike Piazza was also elected, with 83 percent, and will join Griffey in the July 24 ceremony as the 311th and 312th members of the Hall of Fame.

Piazza said he would enter the Hall as a New York Mets.

He spent eight of his 16 seasons with the Mets after starting his career with seven years with

the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Griffey is the first player elected to the Hall of Fame primarily because of his achievements as a Mariner, and his plaque will be the first showing a Mariners cap.

“You want to be the first in a lot of things,” he said, “and to be able to wear a Mariners hat and be the first Mariner to ever go into the Hall of Fame...I think that’s part of the decision I needed to make.

“I felt that being 19, they gave

me an opportunity to play the game that I love. I spent most of my time in Seattle.”

The honors aren’t yet be over for Griffey, who is scheduled to join Piazza on Friday morning for the opening of trading on Wall Street.

Plans then call for Griffey to fly to Seattle for a late Friday afternoon news conference at Safeco Field amid speculation the Mariners plan to use that occasion to announce plans to retire his No. 24.

M’s sign reliever Cook, release Bass

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The holidays are over, and Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto is back in the swing with some new roster moves.

The Mariners signed righthanded reliever Ryan Cook to a one-year deal Thursday just hours after releasing right-hander Anthony Bass in accordance with his desire to pursue an opportunity to pitch in Japan.

Cook, 28, struggled last season at Oakland and Boston, and spent much of the season in the minors, after compiling a 2.77 ERA in 208 relief outings for the Athletics from 2011-14.

“We’re looking forward to seeing Ryan in a Mariners uniform,” Dipoto said. “He

Canada-Russia Series in November and won a gold medal with Team Canada last summer at the U-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in Europe.

Other WHL players playing for Team Orr include Jake Bean (Calgary), Libor Hajek (Saskatoon), Brett Howden (Moose Jaw) and Simon Stransky (Prince Albert). WHLers playing for Team Cherry are Zach Sawchenko (Moose Jaw), Kale Clague (Brandon), Lucas Johansen (Kelowna), Tyler Benson (Vancouver), Dillon Dube (Kelowna), Noah Gregor (Moose Jaw) and Sam Steel (Regina).

“It’s always an honor to go and play with the best and see what talent is out there,” Hart said. “It’s going to be a fun experience.”

That event is still several weeks away. The immediate concern for Hart and his Silvertips teammates is Friday’s road matchup with a vastly different Kelowna Rockets team than Everett twice defeated last week.

The Rockets were without Rourke Chartier (Canada),

remains just 28 years old and is just one season removed from being one of the more effective setup relievers in the American League.

“His presence enhances both our bullpen depth and overall upside.”

Cook agreed to a $1.1 million non-guaranteed deal that includes $300,000 in performance bonuses based on games pitched. He gets $300,000 if sent to the minors.

An All-Star in 2012, when he went 6-2 with a 2.09 ERA in 71 appearances, Cook struggled last year in spring training and opened the season in the minors.

After returning to the Athletics in late April, Cook made just four appearances — and allowed five runs and seven hits in 41⁄3 innings — before

returning to Triple-A Nashville.

Boston acquired Cook in a July 31 deal, but he fared even worse, allowing 14 runs in 41⁄3 innings over five outings. He gave up five runs in two-thirds of an inning in an Aug. 15 game against the Mariners at Fenway Park.

The Mariners released Bass less than two months after a Nov. 16 trade brought him from Texas with outfielder Leonys Martin in a trade for reliever Tom Wilhelmsen, outfielder James Jones and utilityman Pat Kivlehan.

Bass was 0-0 with a 4.50 ERA last season in 33 relief appearances for the Rangers and was expected to compete this spring for a middle-relief job in the Mariners’ bullpen. He was unsigned and eligible for arbitration after making $750,000 in

Tomas Soustal (Czech Republic) and Calvin Thurkauf (Switzerland) last week due to World Juniors. In addition, Justin Kirkland and Riley Stadel were suspended. All but Soustal are expected to play Friday.

“We just have to be aware when those offensive players are on the ice for them,” said Everett forward Graham Millar, a native of nearby Penticton, B.C. “It’s a good test for us. (Last week) kind of has an asterisk next to it so we’ll see if we can beat them with all their players.”

The Rockets (28-10-2-0, 58 points) are the defending WHL champions and current Western Conference and B.C. Division leaders.

Tyson Baillie (24 goals, 39 assists) leads the Rockets offense while Dube (17 goals, 22 assists), Nick Merkley (12 goals, 22 assists), Kole Lind (15 goals, 17 assists), Kirkland (13 goals, 16 assists) and Cole Linaker contribute to Kelowna’s prolific scoring totals.

“Until you’re playing that team that would actually be there you can only say we’ve met the challenge of beating them without their top guys,” Constantine said. “I would think that you would enjoy the challenge of beating them when they’re the team that

you would face in the playoffs.

But we haven’t yet. We will this weekend and it will be a test, but it should be an enjoyable challenge to actually play them at full strength.”

The WHL weekly report states that regular starting goaltender Jackson Whistle is listed as out for two-to-three weeks with a lower body injury, so the Tips will likely see backup Michael Herringer (9-4-0-0, 3.21 goals-against average, .901 save percentage).

The Rockets average a conference-best 3.60 goals per game. The Tips counter with a league-best 2.14 goals allowed.

Everett (22-12-0-2, 46 points) has won three straight and seven of its last 10, and leads the U.S. Division by three points over Seattle and Spokane. The Silvertips will have the chance to extend that advantage this weekend as they play at Seattle on Saturday and at Spokane on Sunday.

Notes Former Silvertips color commentator Dave Sheldon will call Friday’s game on KRKO 1380 AM. Regular Everett broadcaster Mike Benton will be absent due to a family funeral.

SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders announced Thursday the signing of midfielder Jordan Schweitzer as a homegrown player.

Schweitzer, 21, attended Jackson High School, Sounders FC Academy and the University of Denver.

“He is a central midfielder who understands the importance to the team effort through his distribution, positional play and passing,” coach Sigi Schmid said in a club press release.

At Jackson, Schweitzer was team captain as a junior and earned a First-Team All-Wesco selection.

Schweitzer started 70 matches across four seasons from 20122015 at Denver. As a senior in 2015, he was honored with a FirstTeam All-West Region selection after co-captaining the Pioneers to their second-straight Summit League Championship.

“I grew up watching Osvaldo Alonso, and he’s someone I look to emulate,” Schweitzer told SoundersFC.com. “I’m someone who will work hard each and every day. If I get the chance to show myself in games and be someone in there who can break up plays and connect the back four to the midfield. ... I’m going to wear the crest with pride.”

Schedule released The Sounders will begin and end their 2016 Major League Soccer season at home.

Seattle’s eighth MLS regular season starts March 6 when Sporting Kansas City visits CenturyLink Field, and ends Oct. 23 with a visit from Real Salt Lake.

In all, the Sounders and the other 19 MLS teams will play 34 regularseason games, same as last season.

Seattle will begin Cascadia Cup play March 19, when the Vancouver Whitecaps make the first of two visits. The Sounders will make two visits to defending MLS Cup champion Portland: July 17 and Aug. 28. The Timbers will make their lone trip to Seattle on Aug. 21.

New York City FC will make its first visit to Seattle on June 25, while the Sounders will travel to Orlando City for the first time on Aug. 7.

Fourteen Sounders games will be shown on national television: seven on ESPN, six on Fox Sports 1 and one on Fox. Regional broadcast details are yet to be announced.

Added time Sounders midfielder Gonzalo Pineda, 33, announced Thursday that he is ending his playing career after 13 professional seasons.

Pineda spent two of those seasons — 2014 and 2015 — in Seattle, appearing in 56 regular-season games while recording four goals and nine assists.

Last month the Sounders declined its option on Pineda’s contact.

Pineda also has 44 appearances with the Mexican national team.

Huskies head to Pullman for first true road trip of season

COLLEGE BASKETBALL | Roundup

Alford, UCLA stun 7th-ranked Arizona

By Christian Caple

Herald news services

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The travel is nothing new. Washington began this basketball season by flying to Shanghai for a single game against Texas, and two weeks later trekked to the Bahamas for a three-game tournament.

In Shanghai, though, the Huskies played before a neutral crowd on a neutral court. In the Bahamas, they played before only about 1,000 people inside a converted ballroom.

This weekend’s trip to Pullman, then, represents another first for UW’s young roster. Saturday’s 12 p.m. game against Washington State is the first the Huskies will play in an opponent’s arena this season, and that will be a new experience for their seven freshmen.

Coach Lorenzo Romar’s message to those rookies?

“Don’t change a thing,” Romar said Thursday. “You don’t have to change the way you play.

If you play the right way, it should translate, and when you go on the road that way, you have to make sure that you try to take care of the ball even more.

Bad shots are the first pass to a fast break for the other team. You’ve just got to be more aware.

“But in terms of your philosophy, your style of play, we’re ready to go on the road in terms of what you’re supposed to do. You just can’t get distracted and sidetracked.”

The Cougars (9-5, 1-1 in Pac-12) are 8-2 at home this season, with losses on Dec. 2 to Gonzaga and last week to USC. But their most recent game at Beasley Coliseum was an 85-78 victory over UCLA on Sunday night, further evidence of the perceived depth of the Pac-12’s talent level.

(UW and WSU were picked to finish 11th and 12th, respectively, in the Pac-12 preseason poll.)

The Huskies (10-4, 2-0) swept their opening weekend of league play, taking a 96-93 double-overtime victory over UCLA before erasing a 22-point deficit

and compete with them and be successful.

“They’ve been the top dogs (in Wesco) and I told our guys, ‘We haven’t proven anything until we can compete with these guys and get some wins against them.’ And that came tonight.”

“This is one we really wanted,” Cascade senior Brennen Hancock added.

“In front of all their fans ... to send a statement.”

The Bruins started slowly, getting two free throws and then a turnover, two missed free throws and an airball on their first four possessions. They followed that stretch with several missed layins to trail 12-4 five minutes into the game.

But Cascade finally got untracked, and it was Hancock who sank a desperation shot from the right corner as time expired in the first period for a 14-14 tie. That basket started a 16-3 scoring burst that lifted the Bruins to a lead they never lost.

In the third quarter Cascade ran off eight straight points to go on top 40-24, and the margin never fell to single digits again. The big lead was 17 through three quarters and then again early in the fourth, though Jackson managed to cut the final margin to 12.

The Bruins dominated the area around the basket, scoring 18 field goals on layins or offensive rebounds. Jackson had just

in an 87-85 win over USC. That comeback, Romar said, was “somewhat magical,” and helped the Huskies “understand what can be accomplished when we’re playing with that type of intensity and that type of togetherness.”

He hopes it translates to the road, where UW won just three games in 10 tries last season.

“I think we’ll have a good response to it,” said senior guard Andrew Andrews, who won Pac-12 Player of the Week honors after averaging 29.5 points in UW’s two games last weekend. “A lot of these guys like being the underdog. They actually take it and play better

two layins and one offensive putback. “(The Bruins) were fired up and we knew they would be,” Johnson said.

“Both teams were 4-0 (in league) and there were (lots of) people in the stands, so it was the kind of game that we’ve had go our way in the last several years. To have it go the other way is certainly disappointing. But like I told the kids, it’s a long process and a long season, and we can’t let one game be too much.

“We certainly didn’t play well enough to win,” he said. “They played better than we did. … But I think we can play better, and hopefully we’ll have the mentality that we’ve always had here, that you have to get better as the season goes along.”

As for the Bruins, McNeal wants his players to enjoy the state ranking, but also to not lose focus on the team’s greater goals.

“The bottom line for me,” he explained, “is that it doesn’t matter what the rating is. It’s a great honor to be ranked, but we have to continue to prove ourselves night in and night out, and that has nothing to do with a ranking. It has everything to do with the fact that we have a goal towards the end of the season — to stay healthy, to play well in districts and to be able to advance.

“We have some team goals and they’re far more important than a ranking.

The ranking, all it means is that you’re a bigger target for everyone and you get everybody’s best.”

with it, so it’ll be a good experience for us.”

Timmins update Sam Timmins, a 6-foot-10 center from New Zealand, has enrolled in classes at UW and will practice, travel, suit up, warm up and sit on the bench with the team for the rest of this season, but will not play as he uses a redshirt year.

Romar said Timmins has practiced two or three times with the Huskies so far, and early returns are favorable.

“We’ve not had a session where we’ve taken him to the side with four other guys and said, ‘OK this is what we’re doing,’” Romar said. “He’s just kind of watching and we’re talking to him on the fly and he’s picked things up really quickly. And man, he’s really strong. He’s really strong.”

Romar compares Timmins to former WSU forward Aron Baynes, who currently plays for the Detroit Pistons.

“I think physically, the comparison is there,” Romar said. “I feel like he’s further along offensively than Aron Baynes was.”

Tip-ins UW’s 22-point comeback against USC was the largest of Romar’s UW career. The Huskies trailed by 21 points in the first half of a win over USC in January 2003, Romar’s first season at UW. … Andrews leads the Pac-12 in scoring at 21.1 points per game, more than three points better than the next player on the list (Colorado forward Josh Scott, 17.9). Andrews has scored in double-figures in 25 consecutive games and 46 of his last 52.

LOS ANGELES — Bryce Alford scored 25 points, hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds left that gave UCLA an 87-84 victory over No. 7 Arizona on Thursday night for the Bruins’ first Pac-12 win after opening league play with consecutive road losses.

Aaron Holiday added 15 points, Isaac Hamilton had 14 points and Tony Parker had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Bruins (10-6, 1-2). They lost to the Washington schools last weekend.

Alford hit five 3-pointers and Hamilton added three of UCLA’s 11 — a seasonhigh against the Wildcats.

Ryan Anderson had 15 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Wildcats (132, 1-1), who had their eight-game winning streak snapped. Allonzo Trier added 13 points and Kaleb Tarczewski had 12 points and 12 rebounds in his second game back from a foot injury.

The Bruins opened the second half with a 16-9 run to go ahead 59-45. They ran off 10 straight points, including back-to-back 3-pointers by Alford and Hamilton, for their largest lead of the game.

Arizona tied it at 83 on a three-point play by Kadeem Allen, capping a 10-0 run in the closing two minutes. Allen easily got

Hamilton got fouled, missing the first and making the second for an 84-83 lead. Hamilton fouled Anderson on a drive, and he made the first and missed the second, tying the game at 84 with 14 seconds to go.

Alford got free for a 3-pointer to preserve the victory for the Bruins, who shot a season-high 52 percent against Arizona.

Alford hit consecutive 3-pointers to end the first half with the Bruins leading 43-36. Arizona’s only lead of one point in the first half came on a 3-pointer by Parker Jackson-Cartwright

before the Bruins outscored the Wildcats 10-2 to end the half.

USC 75, Arizona St. 65 LOS ANGELES — Julian Jacobs scored 15 points, Bennie Boatwright added 14 and Southern California held off a furious rally to beat Arizona State 75-65 in its conference home opener Thursday night.

The Trojans (13-3, 2-1 Pac-12) led by as many as 17 in the second half before the Sun Devils (10-5, 0-2) rallied to cut it to 65-63 with 1:01 to go. A two-handed dunk on a fastbreak by Chimeze Metu halted the Sun Devils rally and started a 10-2 USC run in the final minute to secure the win.

The Trojans surpassed their win total from all of last season with the victory. They went 12-20 in 2014-15.

Metu and Reinhardt added nine points apiece for USC and Darion Clark pulled down 10 rebounds.

Tra Holder scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half to lead ASU’s rally.

UMKC 84, Seattle 69 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Martez Harrison scored 21 points, and LaVell Boyd hit four 3-pointers and finished with 20 points to help MissouriKansas City beat Seattle 84-69 Thursday night.

Darius Austin scored 10 points and Shayok Shayok grabbed 11 rebounds for UMKC (8-8, 1-0 Western Athletic Conference).

Boyd scored eight, including a pair of 3-pointers, during a 13-2 run to open the game and the Kangaroos never trailed.

Vikings healthy, ready for Seahawks

game was in 2008, again at Lambeau Field, as the Packers hosted the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game.

The Seahawks, in their 40 seasons of history, have never experienced cold like they’re projected to face Sunday. The coldest game in franchise history came on Dec. 3, 2006 in Denver, when the temperature was 16 degrees.

“One of the things I’ve taken from it over the years is once you’re out there playing you’re not worried about the weather, you’re worried about those 11 guys trying to take your head off,” said Seahawks running back Fred Jackson, who played in his share of cold-weather games during his eight seasons with the Buffalo Bills.

“You’ll forget about the weather soon enough.

“The only thing I’ll say is the coldest part of the game is when you’re standing on the sideline not doing anything,” Jackson added. “As long as you’re out there moving around you’ll be OK.” The Vikings are more used to dealing with the cold temperatures than the Seahawks, and they’ve acclimated in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, Minnesota’s 49-17 home victory over the New York Giants was played in 12-degree temperatures, while last week the Vikings won 20-13 at Green Bay with the thermometer sitting at 23 degrees.

“We’ve had a lot of these kind of games, actually,” Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said. “We played Carolina last year when it was pretty cold, played the Giants on Sunday night when it was pretty cold. Last week in Green Bay was not as cold, but it was still a little cold. We talked to the team about the way the elements affect us and the things that we have to adjust to.”

The Seahawks, meanwhile, have yet to play a game in freezing conditions this season. The coldest game Seattle experienced was the last time the Seahawks played in Minnesota, when the Seahawks prevailed 38-7 at TCF Bank Stadium on Dec. 6 when it was 36 degrees.

Therefore, the cold could play to Minnesota’s advantage.

“If it’s really as cold as it might be, I think that could affect the game just as far as making the ball a little bit slicker and things like that,” Vikings safety Harrison Smith said. “Being a defensive guy, it’s not quite as bad. You’ve just got to deal with the cold. But that’s on both teams. So to me, being the Vikings, we should be excited about playing outside in the cold.”

Playing in the cold presents some unique challenges, particularly when it comes to ball security.

“It’s the handling of the ball (that’s affected most by the cold),” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “It always seems to make the coaches feel like it’s going to be a more vulnerable situation, because of the feel and touch and that kind of stuff. Certainly, it does affect the travel of the ball in the kicking game, it doesn’t go as far.”

However, the Seahawks don’t plan on changing their offense just to suit the colder conditions.

“We’re going to go out and just do our thing,” Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. “We’re going to play ball the way we normally do. We’re kind of built for it.

We’re a running team, running philosophy, so we know that to hand the ball to the running back 25, 30 times is exactly how we want to play the game. We can still throw the ball in that, you just have to protect the ball, be smart with it, and that’s what we plan on doing.”

The player who handles the ball the most is the quarterback, so Russell Wilson is the Seahawks player who faces the biggest challenge with the cold. Wilson does not wear a glove on his throwing hand, but he doesn’t anticipate the cold being a problem.

“I wear a hand warmer and put my hands in the hand warmer between plays and all that,” Wilson said. “I think also on the sideline, it’s just staying warm as much as possible. But when you’re moving around you get pretty warm quickly. I don’t think it will be a problem at all, I’m looking forward to it.

“Fortunately I have big hands, so that helps, too.”

And if needed, Wilson and the rest of the Seahawks can always join Sherman on that virtual beach in Tahiti. Anything to help take the sting out of the cold expected Sunday.

No longer Angry Doug Seahawks’ Baldwin mellows after offseason talk with mom

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Welcome to the kinder, gentler Doug Baldwin.

The Seattle Seahawks receiver was often referred to as Angry Doug in the past, in large part because of a perceived lack of respect for he and his fellow Seattle receivers. However, that anger has dissipated during the best season of his NFL career.

Baldwin had a breakout season in his fourth NFL campaign. He set a career high with 78 receptions. He became the first Seahawk since 2007 to surpass 1,000 yards receiving in a season. His 14 touchdowns tied for the NFL lead. He even had his name put in the same sentence with Jerry Rice when he caught 10 TDs over a four-game stretch.

And he accomplished it all in a much more serene manner than his first three seasons.

Baldwin was always motivated to prove people were wrong about him. He overcame being benched during his junior year at Stanford. He overcame being an undrafted free agent out of college. He’s overcome being described as an average receiver in the NFL. The player who admitted in the past to playing better with a chip on his shoulder is no

Thiel From Page C1

In an expansive mood Monday after the Seahawks’ 36-6 walloping of the Cardinals, their successors as NFC West champs — at the same stadium where the Super Bowl was lost — Carroll talked for the first time during the season about the depth of the burden that followed losing to the New England Patriots 28-24 on an ill-conceived pass play, turning a near-certain win in the final seconds to a devastating loss.

“We had to get through last year,” he said, responding to a question about the season’s biggest challenge. “We had to get through the finish of the season. There was no question that it had a big impact.

“We did it. We made it.”

Carroll and his coaches had to navigate an emotional minefield among talented, high-strung young men in professional shock. The 2-4 start wasn’t because opponents were necessarily better.

“Everybody was going to have to deal with it on their own,” he said. “We were going to try to be extraordinarily patient and understanding and caring as we worked our way through it.”

Carroll is all about dispatching the past and returning focus to the immediate week, day, hour and moment. At the opening game the regular season, he didn’t even want the ceremony that raised the NFC

longer relying on the chip.

“I had a great conversation with my mom during the offseason, and she told me I need to stop wearing the chip or boulder on my shoulder,” Baldwin said Thursday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “She said, ‘Let’s have wings on your shoulder because that will help you fly further and higher.’ So I don’t look at it as a chip or a boulder anymore.

I got the wings of an angel, as my mom would put it.”

Why did Baldwin’s mom feel the need to tell him this?

“Because she knows how competitive I am and how hard I tried to be successful,” Baldwin answered. “Sometimes there is such a thing as trying too hard. One of our mottos here is you’ve got to work smarter, not necessarily always harder. For me, that’s a growing period, I guess if you will. As you mature in age you learn that sometimes you don’t have to work as hard on something that you don’t really have any control over.

I had to let go of the things I didn’t have control over. For me it’s been very freeing and a very stress-free way of living.”

Better on the road?

Most teams prefer to play their games at home, and for the Seahawks that’s no different.

However, there’s one aspect in which Seattle’s defense will be

happy to hit the road for Sunday’s wild-card game at Minnesota: communication.

The home crowds get loud when their team is on defense in an attempt to make things difficult for the opposing offense — the CenturyLink Field crowd takes pride in the part it’s played in drawing a league-high 147 opposing false starts since 2005.

But while that affects the opposing offense, it also affects the home defense.

“Communication on the road is way better,” Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “I don’t have to scream at the top of my lungs just to get a call out. On the road it’s easier because when the offense is up for the opponent, it’s so quiet.”

Lockett honored again For the second straight day Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett was recognized by the NFL, being named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for December/January. This came one day after Lockett was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 17.

In Seattle’s five regular season games in December and January, Lockett averaged 27.1 yards on nine kickoff returns and 16.6 yards on 11 punt returns. That included his performance in last Sunday’s 36-6 victory at Arizona, when he set a new franchise record for punt-return yardage in a game, totaling 139 yards.

This was the second time this season Lockett, a rookie, earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors. He also took home the award for September.

Championship flag. It was a symbol of the past season.

“That was already done, it was over with,” he said. “Every season, it’s something. It could be personnel losses, coaches, players, quarterbacks leaving, whatever. Things happen. You have to deal with it. That’s just a microcosm of life; deal with it properly, put it in the right place and get on with it.

“It just took us some time. I think we had some hangover from (the Super Bowl loss). It’s a most challenging event to endure for a program and a staff and players and fans. I’m proud to say that we are still fighting; here we go again.”

As they coped, the Seahawks lost four of six games. Now they have won six of their past seven and are six-point favorites to beat a Vikings team they slaughtered 38-7 four weeks earlier. The Patriots? They started 10-0, and have lost four of their past six.

That’s another aspect of Carroll’s teachings: It’s never about the start; it’s always about finish.

Carroll remains unafraid to train and play young players quickly. He knows they will make costly mistakes early.

He has learned that a 16-week season is long enough that, managed properly, a buck private in September can be an officer by Christmas.

That’s why the Seahawks became the youngest team (by average age) to win a Super Bowl. That’s how this season he continually threw rookies and newcomers into the talent void,

and reached the playoffs for the fifth time in his six seasons in Seattle.

In the first part of the 2015 season, the Seahawks survived. In the second part, they flourished. The youngsters, the no-profilers, the football refugees delivered in December after the angst of September.

“That’s something I’ve grown through,” he said. “I don’t worry about that any more. I know that the benefits are worth it. That’s what I’ve proven to myself. I don’t have any problem with going with the young guys.

“Yeah, there is some stuff.

You can just blindly throw them in there in all situations and they’re not going to perform as well. But if you can get them to be successful in the things they’re pretty good at early on, then kind of feed them along, you can anticipate that they’ll make a good progress and movement toward becoming the football player they can become.”

The strategy is why the Seahawks have sustained success. But it has risks, and sometimes fails. The current example is the offensive line.

After rewarding huge contracts to QB Russell Wilson and LB Bobby Wagner, the Seahawks were out of money under the NFL salary cap. So they dieted with the O-line payroll and flirted with disaster, which Carroll now is comfortable admitting.

“We found out some stuff that we had to find out,” he said.

“It didn’t happen as fast. We

Did the Seattle Seahawks pound the Minnesota Vikings when the teams met last month?

Yes, they did.

Will that matter Sunday when the teams meet again in the playoffs? Not according to Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who believes every week in the NFL is a new week.

“You always think you know what’s going to happen, and things get wild,” Smith said in a conference call from Minnesota. “So we’re just focused on studying the tape, seeing who the Seahawks are right now, and kind of planning accordingly.”

The Seahawks project as basically the same team that pounded Minnesota, 38-7, on Dec. 6 — give or take a Marshawn Lynch.

But the Vikings could be different — in this case, meaning healthier.

And especially on defense.

In the December meeting, the Vikings went with a patchwork defense that picked up more holes as the game progressed. Nose tackle Linval Joseph was out with a foot injury. Linebacker Anthony Barr went to the sideline in the first quarter after re-aggravating a groin injury that had kept him questionable most of the week. Safety Robert Blanton left the game after colliding with a teammate, which caused Terence Newman to shift to safety and sending rookie Trae Waynes to Newman’s natural left cornerback spot. Smith also went out in the first half with a left hamstring injury.

By Thursday practice, tackle Kenrick Ellis (ankle) was the only defensive player held out, while Joseph and defensive end Everson Griffen (shoulder) were limited.

Coach Mike Zimmer said Joseph should be “good to go” by Sunday.

Peterson good to go Zimmer said running back Adrian Peterson’s lower back injury will not keep him from playing in Sunday’s playoff game against Seattle.

Peterson had to leave the game against Green Bay last Sunday with the injury, but was able to return late in the game. He did not practice Wednesday.

Zimmer said the NFL’s leading rusher is feeling “much, much better.”

needed to help them sooner.

I think we thought that they would move along more quickly I would have liked to have adjusted earlier. At the bye (first week of November) was when it was glaring. We had to do something drastically to change the course (of sacking Wilson).

We did that.

“I think we might have overshot a little bit with that one.”

The early losses, largely from O-line shortcomings, are why the Seahawks begin the playoffs on the ice planet of Hoth.

But now, the changes have turned the Seahawks into the most efficient passing attack in the NFL. Nearly as remarkable as the remedy is Carroll’s public comfort in admitting error. He knows that in motivational psychology, nothing works all the time for every subject. Sometimes he fails, sometime the player fails. There is disappointment, but no shame.

As he said: Put it in the right place and get on with it.

A few days after the Super Bowl loss, Carroll agreed to do an exclusive interview with NBC and Matt Lauer, who flew from New York to sit with Carroll at the team’s practice facility. Carroll explained that he was going to lead his team from what some consider the worst single-game loss in sports history.

Said Carroll: “I’m built for this.”

Sunday, in sub-zero conditions, the audacity continues.

Rick and Brenda Cross, sitting on a back stair to the stage, say they met while attending the sixth grade in the school that once stood outside the old Startup gym. They have great memories of the activities, games and events they shared in the gym. The Sky Valley Arts Council is restoring the gym, and Rick Cross volunteered to work on the front of the building.

STARTUP — When he heard about an effort to save the dilapidated Startup gym, he wanted to lend a hand.

The retired Sultan woodworker kicked off restoration work in September, fixing the gym’s rickety entryway as a volunteer with the nonprofit Sky Valley Arts Council.

Rick Cross wanted to help save the place where he’d fallen for his wife, Brenda, almost a half century earlier.

In September 1969, they were in the same sixth grade class at a school that stood next to the gym until it was torn down years ago.

Brenda caught Rick’s eye as she rode her blue, three-speed bicycle.

His crush grew as Brenda, who sat one row over and two seats ahead of him, answered just as many of the teacher’s questions as he did.

“She was oblivious to me, but I noticed her,” he said.

They graduated from Sultan High School in 1976 and parted ways. Rick’s affection remained, but Brenda was unaware of her shy admirer.

By their 10-year class reunion, Rick had worked up the nerve to ask her out. They went panning

Two years later, in September 1988, they married and settled in Sultan. They raised two boys who didn’t know the story of their parents’ romance until Rick volunteered for the Arts Council project.

Working from 1930s plans, the 57-year-old toiled for five weeks, restoring the columns, railings and fine woodwork around the gym’s entrance. He recruited friends and family to help as needed.

The Arts Council is leasing the long-neglected property from the Sultan School District. They are working together on plans to save it.

The Startup Gym has a colorful and storied history. It was built in 1937 and dedicated the following year.

George Startup, a local sawmill owner, donated the wood. Volunteers constructed the sturdy building.

Only the company that set the roof beams was paid. The rest

of the materials and labor came from donations.

“That’s what all the old-timers say,” said Debbie Copple, the project manager.

The Arts Council hopes to carry that tradition on with the current restoration. The goal is to complete the work within three years so the public can use the gym for events.

Organizers are recruiting local talent to restore the building.

They are seeking donations of supplies and money.

A rummage sale to raise money for materials is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Startup Gym, 14315 366th Ave SE. There are several ways to help, including shopping the sale, donating merchandise, volunteering to set up Saturday, or renting a booth.

Copple said organizers plan is to restore the gym piece by piece.

She isn’t sure how much the project will cost because people and businesses have been pitching in, reducing the expenses of each step, so far.

The gym got a new roof in December for about half of the $60,000 she expected. That’s thanks to help from Lynnwood’s Loberg Roofing Company and the Snohomish County Historical Preservation Commission,

Copple said.

There’s still a long way to go before the work is finished.

Among the jobs to do are replacing windows and plumbing, renovating and painting the siding, and remolding the bathrooms, kitchen and lunchroom.

Like the Crosses, people with memories of the gym span several generations. Frank and Nancy Roesler, of Sultan, also met at the gym. They’re now getting ready to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary.

The Arts Council plans to start using the gym to introduce people to the restoration project and raise money for it. A 1950s-style sock hop and silent auction is scheduled from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Feb. 13.

The Crosses grew up going to dances, sporting events, band performances and other happenings at the gym, which was once the center of their community.

Now, they hope to save it for generations to come.

“This gym has a lot of good memories and not just to us.

It has a lot of meaning to a lot of people,” said Brenda Cross.

“You’re not going to find a lot of places with this many memories.”

House eyes giving survivors more relief I

n a hopeful sign for 60,000 military widows and widowers who lost spouses to serviceconnected illnesses or injuries, a key House subcommittee is taking a fresh look at how Congress might allow a further easing the “SBP-DIC offset” to provide heartier and fairer survivor benefit packages.

Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nevada, chairman of the House armed services subcommittee on military personnel, isn’t promising specific relief from the offset, which surviving spouses prefer to call the military widows’ tax.

But Heck and colleagues did gather anew complaints about the offset during a special December hearing, and vowed to look for ways to end it, or at least to continue to dull its effect on the widows’ financial health.

Heck understands, as do organizations advocating for the widows, that partial offset relief through a Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance, or SSIA, is set to expire in fall 2017. So unless Congress acts by then to end the offset, or more likely to continue or even to bolster the SSIA, then surviving spouses again would feel the full brunt of the SBP-DIC offset.

The Department of Veterans Affairs pays Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, or DIC, to surviving spouses of members who die of serviceconnected causes. This includes deaths while on active duty, or in retirement if caused by injuries suffered or diseases contracted during active service.

The Department of Defense

TOM PHILPOTT MILITARY UPDATE separately provides a government subsidized Survivor Benefit Plan. SBP coverage now is automatic for deaths on active duty.

Retiring members must opt in, agreeing to pay a premium of 6.5 percent of retired pay to ensure surviving spouses get an annuity upon the member’s death equal to 55 percent of covered retired pay.

Under the SBP offset law, which has existed for four decades, surviving spouses cannot receive both DIC and full SBP. Survivor annuities must be reduced dollar for dollar by DIC. With basic DIC now set at $1,254.19 a month, it usually will wipe out or vastly reduce any SBP annuity.

Widows do get a refund of premiums their spouses paid, perhaps over many years, for that annuity coverage, but the government adds no interest to the refunds no matter how long ago it received the premium payments.

More importantly, argue widows and longtime advocates for SBP reform like Edith Smith of Springfield, Virginia, their spouses paid for that annuity protection as if they bought an

insurance policy, expecting that it would be paid. It should not be reduced by compensation for a service-related death.

“These are two different survivor programs and paid for two very different purposes,” explained Vivianne Cisneros Wersel in written testimony for the subcommittee. Her late husband, a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, died in February 2005, a week after returning from a second tour in Iraq.

The creaky logic behind the offset is that widows, though rightly compensated for loss of a spouse from service-related injury or ailment, shouldn’t also get a government-subsidized annuity. That logic collapsed a decade ago when Congress ended a similar ban on “concurrent receipt” for military retirees who qualify both for longevity retirement and VA compensation for serious service-connected disabilities or combat-related injuries or ailments. Previously, military retired pay always was reduced, dollar for dollar, by VA disability pay. In fact the ban on concurrent receipt still holds for retirees with non-combat disabilities below 50 percent.

Widows argue they should be allowed concurrent receipt of SBP and DIC. Most members of Congress agree but so far leaders refuse to remove the offset, citing costs. Ending the offset would add $7 billion to U.S. annuity obligations over the first decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimates.

Congress effectively acknowledged that the widow’s offset is

unfair when it began to soften its impact by creating SSIA in 2008.

The allowance began as $50 extra a month and climbed steadily on a schedule set in law. It reached $275 in October and will rise to $310 next October, which would be enough to replace about a quarter of SBP lost to the DIC offset.

SSIA is set to end Oct. 1, 2017.

Current budget rules, said Rep. Susan Davis of California, ranking Democrat on the subcommittee, require cuts to other mandatory spending accounts to free up the right kind of dollars to allow more SBP offset relief.

“Unfortunately the mandatory offsets required to address this issue have become extremely difficult to find now, especially in the amounts required. And of course, we look to you to help us do that,” Davis told association representatives who testified at the December hearing.

Steve Strobridge, director of government relations for Military Officers Association of America, took an immediate step in that direction. Ideally Congress should eliminate the offset, he said. At a minimum it needs to extend SSIA so that widows aren’t “made to forfeit the $310 monthly allowance this committee worked so hard to win for them.”

But on the mandatory spending issue that Davis raised, Strobridge noted that twice before the armed services committee was able to convince House and Senate leaders to use outside budget offsets to fund the SSIA.

“And when leadership recently managed to find far larger offsets to provide Medicare premium relief to millions of wealthier beneficiaries, it’s hard to explain to SBP-DIC widows who suffered five-digit annual losses for decades, why their situation should have a lower priority,” Strobridge said.

Other representatives piled on the arguments for offset relief.

“How many people in this country could live on $1,254 a month, and for our military widows to [have to] survive on that is horrible, just horrible,” said Chris Kinnard, representing Gold Star Wives of America.

DIC is survivor compensation for when “a member’s service caused his or her premature death,” said Jon Ostrowski with Non-Commissioned Officers Association. It “should be added to the SBP annuity … not substituted for it.”

The offset “exists only to save the government money,” said Joe Davis, public affairs director for Veterans of Foreign Wars, “which is perhaps the ultimate insult our government can inflict on” surviving spouses.

Given the funding challenge, no lawmaker that day could promise offset relief. But at the panel’s invitation, a coalition of associations are now studying alternatives to reduce the offset, and will share those ideas with the committee early in 2016.

Refund sought for canceled hotel room

DAILY CROSSWORD

Question: I booked a room at the DoubleTree hotel in Vancouver, Washington, through Hotwire, for our children’s and grandchildren’s stay over Thanksgiving.

We received a confirmation of the reservation for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights for a total of $272. We had no further communication with Hotwire.

When our children arrived at 10 p.m. with their kids — 7-monthold twins and a 2-year-old — they were told that the reservation had been canceled by Hotwire.

I didn’t get any message or email from Hotwire saying that it was canceling my reservation.

The kids were all stranded at the DoubleTree. That was frustrating and embarrassing.

I called the customer-service line three times that night. None of the representatives knew why the reservation had been canceled.

They just said that they would call us back. But they never did.

This was horrible customer service, and our children were stranded. We had to pay a much higher rate for a new reservation at the DoubleTree. I’d like a full refund from Hotwire in the amount of $272, the amount we reserved the hotel for.

— Meldra Driscoll, Vancouver, Washington

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

Answer: Hotwire shouldn’t have canceled your hotel reservation. And if it did, it should have at least told you about it, so you could make alternate plans. And even if it didn’t tell you, Hotwire shouldn’t be able to keep your money.

So how did you get yourself cornered like this? Well, Hotwire’s discounted “Hot Rates” rooms are completely nonrefundable. I checked with Hotwire, and it says your initial booking was flagged by its fraud department, which means that your card was charged but the reservation was on “hold” pending a verification.

“There are a variety of things that can cause a booking to be flagged with fraud,” a Hotwire spokeswoman told me. “In this instance, there were several reasons, including an unregistered cellphone number.”

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

Subject: CONSPIRACY THEORIES FRESHMAN LEVEL 1. American officials had advance knowledge of this attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

2. This U.S. president was murdered by multiple gunmen in a conspiracy.

3. The car crash in which this princess died in 1997 was an intentional plot.

GRADUATE LEVEL 4. This member of the Beatles died in 1966, but his death was covered up.

5. This woman was married to Jesus Christ.

6. This bank is designed to

CLASSIC PEANUTS

Hotwire’s fraud team tried to contact you to validate the transaction, but according to its records, the phone number associated with the booking did not have voice mail set up.

“Based on this, the transaction was canceled and refunded as fraud protection for the credit card holder,” the Hotwire rep told me, adding that the company was “very sorry” for what happened.

So why didn’t the refund show up on your account? Refunds can take time to process. Although yours was made on Nov. 25, it might not have shown up on your account until a few weeks later, which is why you might have believed Hotwire was actually keeping your money.

How could you have prevented this? According to Hotwire, it would have been as simple as setting up your voice mail. But I’m not sure if that would have prevented it. Fine-tuning Hotwire’s fraud-detection algorithm might be another way to make sure your kids don’t end up homeless on Thanksgiving.

Hotwire also could have tried to find a room for your family when you were turned away. Good thing there was still room at the DoubleTree for them.

Irritation arises from spat between girls Dear Abby: Do you think parents should intervene in arguments between 10-year-olds? My daughter, “Amy,” was playing at a neighbor’s house with two other girls and they had an argument over something stupid. The neighbor’s daughter, “Kathy,” started to cry, so her mother asked my daughter and the other girl to leave because they had upset Kathy. Afterward, she called and wanted me to punish my daughter for upsetting hers.

I didn’t do it because I think 10-year-olds are old enough to make amends with each other.

When Amy explained the situation, I concluded that Kathy started to cry because she didn’t get what she wanted.

This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it’s annoying because they make a big deal out of it. — Amy’s Mom In Antwerp, Belgium Dear Amy’s Mom: Take “Helicopter Mom’s” suggestions regarding parenting your child with a grain of salt. Kathy’s mother means well, but she should stop trying to fight her daughter’s battles for her.

Dear Abby: I have two brothers and two sisters.

We all earned a modest but comfortable living and made plans for our retirement — except for one. He blew his money on cars, vacations and gambling. He retired as early as possible, and doesn’t get much Social Security. Now he’s broke.

He thinks one of us should take him in and complains that we are a “bad family” because no one has offered to let him live with us. None of our retirement plans were made with provisions for him. What do I do?

Although I moved out, we agreed to keep prior engagements. One of them is a trip to Europe to visit family and friends.

When we talked about traveling together, my understanding was that it meant sitting next to each other in the car and on the plane.

Associated Press PASADENA, Calif.

— A roundup of news Wednesday from the Television Critics Association winter meeting, at which TV networks and streaming services are presenting details on upcoming programs:

Two new BET series

Today is Friday, Jan. 8, the eighth day of 2016.

There are 358 days left in the year.

Today’s highlights: On Jan. 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his Fourteen Points for lasting peace after World War I. Mississippi became the first state to ratify the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which established Prohibition.

On this date: In 1642, astronomer Galileo Galilei died in Arcetri, Italy.

In 1790, President George Washington delivered his first State of the Union address to Congress in New York.

In 1815, the last major engagement of the War of 1812 came to an end as U.S. forces defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans, not having gotten word of the signing of a peace treaty.

In 1863, America’s First Transcontinental Railroad had its beginnings as California Gov. Leland Stanford broke ground for the Central Pacific Railroad in Sacramento.

(The transcontinental railroad was completed in

It’s all about the music on BET, with the cable network doubling down on series featuring singers and entrepreneurs in behindthe-scenes glimpses of the industry.

Kelly Rowland, New Edition, Snoop Dogg and Birdman are among those showing what it’s like to try and make it in music, a topic made hot by the overwhelming success of the Fox series “Empire.”

Rowland hosts and is a producer on “Chasing Destiny,” debuting April 5 on BET. The singer from Destiny’s Child fame takes viewers on a quest to find the next big female group.

“It’s not a reality competition show,” Rowland told a TV critics gathering Wednesday. “No one has actually gotten to see the journey of a group. We actually wanted to have everything documented and cameras following us.”

Rowland and Frank Gatson, a creative director and choreographer who worked with Destiny’s Child, had already teamed on the project before BET came aboard to turn it into a series. There will not be a judges’ table like “American Idol” and “The Voice.”

INVISION

Kelly Rowland will host and produce “Chasing Destiny,” debuting April 5 on BET. Snoop Dogg (right) is among the performers in the new series “Music Moguls.”

The cable network announced another new series Wednesday called “Music Moguls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, Birdman, Jermaine Dupri and Damon Dash. The eight, one-hour episodes debut June 28.

The rappers and producers try to balance their family lives with the demands of the industry.

BET has previously announced a miniseries on New Edition, the ‘80s R&B group whose breakout star was Bobby Brown, ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston.

Another upcoming BET series is “Inside the Label,” about music industry entrepreneurs.

Good bye to ‘Girls’ HBO says it will pull the plug on its hit comedy “Girls” after a sixth and final season next year.

The series about a group of young women in their 20s made creator and actress Lena Dunham a star, and was also a feather in the cap of veteran comic producer Judd Apatow.

The fifth season of “Girls” is set to launch on the pay cable network on Feb. 21.

Dunham said Wednesday that she conceived of “Girls” when she was 23 and now she’s about to turn 30, so it felt like the perfect time to wrap things up. Besides Dunham, the show’s cast includes Allison Williams and Adam Driver.

Brandy returns Brandy is back on series television although she’s not singing in her show.

She plays a newly single mom with a famous boxer as her ex-husband in “Zoe Ever After,” which debuted Tuesday on BET. The 36-year-old singer, who rose to fame on the series “Moesha” that ran for six seasons in the late ‘90s, has new music out, too.

Her single “Beggin’ & Pleadin”’ was released shortly after her show’s debut.

“It’s hot, you’re going to love it,” she said. “My fans have been starving for music and they’ve been so patient. I wrote the song

two years ago. I just sat on it. I’ve got to do music.”

Brandy hasn’t put out an album since 2012. Missy Elliott weighed in with an early endorsement for more new music.

“Yssssss brandy. ... Your vocals is top notch! Congrats!” the rapper tweeted.

Mandela mini coming BET says it will air a miniseries about Nelson Mandela next year, with actor Laurence Fishburne portraying the late South African leader.

Stephen Hill, the network’s chief programming executive, said Wednesday the six-hour “Madiba” series is being made with the cooperation of Mandela’s family.

Mandela, the longtime prisoner of the apartheid system, became South Africa’s first black president.

He died in 2013 at age 95.

BET moved into miniseries last year with “The Book of Negroes,” about a girl who grew up in Africa who was sold into slavery in America.

‘Revenant’ dazzles with amazing images But Alejandro González Iñárritu’s spectacle, about a man’s grim struggle to survive in 1820s Wyoming, is also tough to watch at times.

ROBERT HORTON

“T

he Revenant” is a huge whopping spectacle, the likes of which have rarely been seen since Cecil B. DeMille ordered Charlton Heston to part the Red Sea in “The Ten Commandments.”

It’s unlikely that anybody compared “Revenant” director Alejandro González Iñárritu to DeMille back in the days of “Amores Perros” and “Babel.” The somber Mexican filmmaker demonstrated little interest in cultivating the gaudier possibilities of cinematic fun, even as his compatriot-friends Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro flaunted their showmanship. Iñárritu’s role was to ponder the deep questions of whether misery has a breaking point, and how to measure the weight of the human soul.

2014’s “Birdman” signaled a change. Exuberant and funny — while still carving out room for lofty ideas, sometimes to the film’s detriment — that film showed off a new kind of playfulness in Iñárritu’s approach. (He took home the Best Director Oscar as a reward.)

Now comes “The Revenant,” and while nobody would tag this movie as

“fun,” the great Hollywood huckster DeMille would surely approve of its incredible scale. This thing is a lollapalooza.

Leonardo DiCaprio, continuing in his actingas-suicide-attempt mode, plays a real-life outdoorsman named Hugh Glass.

In 1820s Wyoming, Glass is a scout for a fur-trapping expedition. In a brutal early sequence, the group is ambushed by Native Americans and the survivors straggle off toward safety.

We’ve barely recovered from the intense violence of the battle when Glass is attacked by a grizzly bear, a mauling that leads to betrayal, murder and a display of extreme survival skills.

Almost all of this takes place in freezing weather, an endurance test captured in visionary detail by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (working under dire conditions in Canada and Argentina).

The film’s collection of atrocities is like a to-do list for the next Cormac McCarthy novel: scalping, neck wound self-cauterizing, arrows through all body parts, horse disemboweling, a breakfast of bison liver tartare. And the bear attack.

Let’s consider that grizzly, because it leads directly to why “The Revenant” should be seen — and on a big screen, absolutely — despite the cabinet of horrors on display. In this long sequence, mostly played out in what appears to be an unbroken take, a giant grizzly bear mauls not a

Leonardo DiCaprio grunts and groans convincingly as Hugh Glass, a scout who survives an ambush and a bear mauling.

“The Revenant” ★★★ An incredible (if brutal) spectacle from “Birdman” director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, in which a mauled scout (Leonardo DiCaprio) tries to survive across 1820s Wyoming.

The point of it all is murky, and the catalog of horrors is intense, but the movie is pretty astonishing to experience. With Tom Hardy.

on the ground, and the bear, or whatever computer-generated trickery has come together to approximate the bear, is really tearing the hell out of the guy.

I don’t know how they did it; I don’t want to know. I do know that in this, and in dozens of other moments in the film, “The Revenant” reaches back to a founding reason for movies to exist: to show us things we never thought (or hoped, in this case) we’d see. From the fading light across a snowy prairie to an avalanche almost imperceptibly shivering into life in the deep

background of a shot, the film is astonishing to look at and listen to.

I’m not sure what it’s actually about. Iñárritu is too much the serious artist to embrace the revenge story, which becomes practically a sidebar.

Instead, he concentrates on different ways to astound the audience, while layering in magical touches (including a few out-and-out steals from the films of Terrence Malick and Werner Herzog), the better to give the material a sense of the mystic.

He lets DiCaprio grunt and groan in single-note

fashion, which means Tom Hardy (as Glass’s nemesis) gets to weave a much cleverer performance, though he is similarly crusted with facial hair and frozen snot. The supporting cast is a marvelous gallery of distinctive faces: Domhnall Gleeson, Tom Poulter, Lukas Haas.

What they go through seems suspiciously like one long wallow, a demonstration of how life is nasty, brutish, and — at 156 minutes — long.

This is a film of simple ideas and overwhelming images—but at the movies, for better or worse, images win.

Rarely have the benefits of the buddy system been more clearly demonstrated than in “The Forest,” a new horror movie that does some authentic gooseflesh-raising.

If you are venturing into Japan’s infamous suicide forest, it really is a good idea to take along a trusted friend. Not only could you use a pal to fend off the demons that lurk there, but going into the

woods with people you’ve only just met seems like a dodgy proposition.

Nevertheless, our heroine, Sara (“Game of Thrones” regular Natalie Dormer), heads for the forest when her twin sister, Jess, turns up missing.

Everybody warns her not to go into Aokigahara, because of the bad mojo associated with the place.

Aokigahara is real — a dense forest at the base of Mount Fuji — and it does attract suicides. Reports of demon activity have yet to be confirmed, but that Check our website for times. www.theedmondstheater.com

doesn’t stop director Jason Zada from summoning up a few ghostly creatures.

Sara doesn’t go it alone; she meets a travel writer, Aiden (Taylor Kinney), and a local guide, Michi (Yukiyoshi Ozawa), who take her into the forest itself. After being told approximately a dozen times not to stray off the path, they stray off the path, and … well, demons.

“The Forest” has its examples of characters doing dumb things just to keep the plot moving. (See “traveling to haunted forest alone,” as noted.) But while it’s just another horror movie in basic ways, it does provide some good jolts.

I liked the movie’s touch with eerie foreshadowings; a scene where Sara reluctantly follows someone down into a mysterious basement is truly creepy. The film’s treatment of Kinney’s character is also intriguing, but I can’t talk about

why because it might spoil something.

There’s also a flashback to childhood trauma — the moment when the twins supposedly went down different paths of light and dark — that plays fair with later revelations. You might be able to guess some of those surprises, but the film doesn’t cheat.

Dormer isn’t a compelling presence, but at least she looks like she could handle herself in a handto-hand fight with an unhappy ghost. Because there’s no Bruce Campbell around from the “Evil Dead” pictures to help out, this is going to be a tall order.

The real Aokigahara forest has previously been the stuff of urban legend and spooky documentaries, but this movie will undoubtedly increase its appeal as a dark-places tourist destination. Enjoy, but please: Stay on the path.

Everett diner shines under new owner

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

Elvis Presley would have turned 81 today.

And what does this have to do with Strawberry Patch Cafe in downtown Everett?

In celebration, the diner’s January special is Blue Suede Waffles.

It’s a peanut butter waffle stuffed with bacon and bananas, topped with honey butter and bourbon maple syrup ($10).

Oh, good Graceland!

If your tastebuds aren’t gyrating over that, well, there’s plenty more on the menu to swoon over: Whoa Mama ($9), fried chicken tenders smothered in chunky sausage gravy. Sure Thang ($5.50), egg and cheese on English muffin with meat choice.

Oui Oui ($6.50), egg, tomato and arugula on croissant with your choice of meat.

And that’s just a sampling from the servedall-day breakfast menu.

A Herald reader suggested we try out this Colby Avenue cafe that has been serving comfort food for 30 years.

“It is under new management,” she wrote. “You gotta try the scratch made biscuits and if you are ravenous (and not picky) the ‘kitchen sink’ scramble is the way to go.”

I went with former features editor Aaron Swaney for a late lunch. By the door was a review of the Strawberry Patch from 2002 by a Herald “restaurant critic.” We aren’t critics anymore. We just go and eat and write about it.

Though the diner has the same name, the new owner, Bora Kim, gave it a new menu and look.

PHOTOS BY ANDREA BROWN / THE HERALD

The Lil’ Chickie sandwich at Strawberry Patch Cafe was tasty and filling.

The dining area of Strawberry Patch Cafe is gradually getting a makeover under new owner Bora Kim, who purchased the longtime downtown Everett eatery last summer.

Kim, 31, said she is still in the process of decorating the cafe she bought last summer, but she has already done a remarkable

job.

The hanging light shades are wrapped with bows. The walls are bright and so are the pink

tablecloths with strawberry designs. A giant yarn strawberry covers the back wall. The counter walls double as a graffiti

chalkboard for customers to express themselves with chalk.

It’s a vibrant and fun place.

Kim grew up in Mukilteo and worked at restaurants owned by her parents, Young and Chong Kim, in Mountlake Terrace and Seattle. She studied commercial and interior design.

“I’m a Jill of all trades,” she said. “This was a natural step for me. My parents came across this place.

They walked in and they were like, ‘This is so Bora.’

My mom called and said, ‘We found a place that screamed you.’”

Kim had been to the Strawberry Patch Cafe one time, years ago. “I came back when it was up for sale and nothing had changed.”

She added her touch in multiple ways, from the walls to the grill.

It was hard for us to decide what to order. One side of the menu had breakfast and the other had “Let’s do the lunch thing!”

Aaron changed his mind five times before settling on Pollo Manipesto ($9), a buttermilk roasted chicken breast with pesto mayo, grilled tomato, arugula and havarti on a grilled French roll.

OK, so I’m a fine one to talk about mind-changing.

I waffled, too, before settling on one of his rejects, the Lil’ Chickie ($9.50), a roasted chicken breast with cucumber, cream cheese and avocado. He’d ruled it out after mumbling something about cream cheese on chicken.

Maybe it was the Elvis in me, but it sounded good.

I chose fries as the side.

Aaron got onion rings and ogled my fries, so I gave

Vegetarian choices: Veggie patties and salads Alcohol: None. him some.

The fries were delish.

So was the chicken with cream cheese.

Aaron devoured his Pollo Manipesto, a mansized sandwich he said was tasty and filling. I took half of mine home, intending to give it to my husband, but I liked it so much I ate it while he looked on with envy. I knew if I gave him a bite he’d want more.

Kim said her motto is KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

“There’s a nostalgic feeling to simple cooking,” she said.

Munchies include fried pickles ($5) and chickenfried bacon ($7).

Burgers ($8.50-$10.50) can be substituted with vegetarian, turkey, chicken and salmon patties.

Milkshakes ($4) include Oreo, Nutella, salted caramel, mint, peach, banana and peanut butter.

Elvis woulda loved this place.

‘My Fair Lady’ opens tonight in Everett

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

EVERETT — When Village Theatre’s production of Lerner & Loewe’s Tony award-winning “My Fair Lady” opens tonight at the Everett Performing Arts Center, audiences likely will be thrilled with the amazing costumes, lovely sets and capable orchestra, as well as the outstanding acting, comedy, singing and dancing.

Directed by Pulitzer prizewinning playwright and Village “native” Brian Yorkey, this musical production is wonderful, as one would expect from the Issaquah/Everett theater company.

However, after seeing Yorkey’s brilliant take on “Cabaret” this past summer and his “If/Then” at the Paramount in November, I wondered if he would push a bit more on the timeless issues of class and gender inherent in George Bernard Shaw’s story “Pygmalion,” on which the musical is based. (Yorkey has described Alan Jay Lerner’s and Frederick Loewe’s musical — with its glorious, unforgettable songs — as “an improvement on Shaw.”)

I wanted the lower-class Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle to feel more hurt by the upperclass misogynist snob Henry Higgins and I pined for even greater anger from her. I wanted Higgins, a linguistics professor who wagers he can turn Eliza into a “proper” lady, to be more surprised when he realizes he’s a fool. (I admit that my reaction is based on a possibly “off night” mid-week performance near the end of the long run in Issaquah.)

Except for the final scene, which you’ll have to wait to see, Yorkey’s “My Fair Lady” was played more for audience appeal, meaning it was like the movie. And that is OK. Like many of the classics in the American musical theater canon, “My Fair Lady” went from stage to film.

The 1956 Broadway show

TRACY MARTIN / VILLAGE THEATRE

At the Ascot horse races, Eliza, played by Allison Standley, yells “Move your bloomin’ arse!” in “My Fair Lady,” which is playing in Everett.

If you go Village Theatre’s “My Fair Lady” plays Jan. 8 through Feb. 7 at the Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave. Ticket prices range from $36 to $68. Call the box office at 425-257-8600. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays, 2 and 8 p.m.

Saturdays, 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays (only a matinee on Feb. 7), 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as Feb. 2. made a star of Julie Andrews, who was replaced in the 1964 movie by Audrey Hepburn

(though the voice you hear when Hepburn sings is that of Marni Nixon, a former Seattleite).

Village’s Eliza is Gregory award-winner Allison Standley, who has the “loverly” voice of Andrews and the acting sensibilities of Hepburn. She’s an expert on the role, having also played Eliza at the Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre. (Everett audiences may remember Standley as Frenchie in “Cabaret.”)

Mark Anders, vocally a much better professor than Rex Harrison was on stage or in the movie, also has previous experience in his role as Higgins, having played the professor in “Pygmalion” with the Seattle Shakespeare

Company in 2012. He has good chemistry with fellow Shakespearean actor Dan Kremer as the delightful Colonel Pickering.

Kremer played the same role in Seattle Repertory Theatre’s 1998 production of “Pygmalion.”

Village Theatre’s ensembles are consistently great, and a few other actors must be mentioned.

I am continually impressed with the talent and energy of the older cast members in Village productions, including Kremer.

In this musical, keep an eye on these beautiful women: Mary Jo Dugaw as Mrs. EynsfordHill, Gretchen Krich as Higgins’ housekeeper Mrs. Pearce, Priscilla Hake Lauris as Higgins’

mother and Ellen McLain as Mrs. Hopkins.

Other great turns are offered by the fun John Patrick Lowrie as Eliza’s irreverent father, Alfred P. Doolittle; the refreshing Randy Scholz as Freddy Eynsford-Hill, Eric Polani Jensen as the smarmy Professor Zoltan Karpathy, and the quartet that rotates among Ethan Michael Carpenter, Andrew Eric Davison, Jonathan Lee-Vroman, Brian Pucheu and Mike Spee.

You won’t regret another chance to hear “The Rain in Spain” again.

‘Book of Mormon’: profane, hilarious and worth seeing

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

SEATTLE — It’s profane, crude and sacrilegious.

And it’s, oh, so funny, brilliant and well-done.

Yes, the musical “The Book of Mormon” makes fun of the Latter-day Saints and religion in general, but in the end it has a good message about faith, community and even the nature of God, who is surely big enough to handle being flipped off by African villagers suffering through maggots, AIDS, dysentery, genital mutilation and violence by warlords.

So, yes, it’s much more complex than a bunch of dirty jokes and bathroom humor. Even the Mormon church hasn’t put up much fuss; they advertised in the playbill.

The national touring production of this Broadway (2011) Tony award-winning and Pulitzer prize-winning musical is playing through Jan. 10 at the Paramount Theatre. Written by the Emmy award-winning creators of animated series “South Park” — Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with their friend Robert Lopez — the musical’s original cast recording also won a Grammy award.

The show will resonate with anyone who has watched even just one “South Park” episode. Same pop culture references.

Same irreverent attitudes.

The story begins at a missionary training center in Salt Lake City, where young men practice ringing doorbells and giving their spiel about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The popular (and full-ofhimself) Elder Price, who hopes to be assigned to Orlando, Florida, is teamed up with the geeky, goofy Elder Cunningham, who just wants to go wherever

BOOK OF MORMON COMPANY

The “Mormon boys” perfect their doorbell-ringing technique at a missionary training center in Salt Lake City in “The Book of Mormon.”

If you go By now, “The Book of Mormon” is probably sold out for the national touring show’s run through Jan. 10 at the Paramount, 911 Pine St., Seattle. Check ticket availability online at www.stgpresents.org or by calling 877-7844849.

If you don’t have a ticket, here’s an idea: Show up at the box office 21⁄2 hours before the next show, put your name in the ticket lottery and if you’re lucky you’ll have the chance to buy a ticket for just $25. It’s definitely worth the shot.

Price goes.

They are sent to Uganda, which is a tough blow to these boys, whose ideas about Africa are based mostly on Disney’s “The Lion King.”

When Price (the talented Billy Harrigan Tighe) and Cunningham (A.J. Holmes, a great physical comedian)

arrive, they are introduced to the discouraged villagers, their bags are stolen by the warlord and they meet the young Mormon men who already have been serving there without winning any converts.

The missionaries, led by Elder McKinley, talk about how they turn off their

emotions, just as one would turn off a light switch. They suppress who they really are, they hide their sadness and mask any anxiety with big white smiles.

Vowing to rise above, Price and Cunningham try valiantly but in vain to convince the villagers that the LDS church has the answers.

A young woman in the village shows the most interest. Nabulungi (beautifully played by Alexandra Ncube) encourages Cunningham to step forward and begin to teach the people.

He does so, but to make it all more understandable and palatable, Cunningham takes artistic license with the Book of Mormon Price, pining for white and clean Orlando, goes

off by himself and has guilt-induced “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream.” In hell, Price meets Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, OJ Simpson’s lawyer Johnnie Cochran and others, including Satan himself. It’s one of the best musical numbers.

Price wakes up, tries again to proselytize and fails, and he ends up drinking coffee(!)

In the meantime, Cunningham and the other missionaries baptize all the villagers and LDS church officials fly to Uganda to praise the boys for their work.

To surprise the church leaders, Nabulungi organizes a presentation based on all that Cunningham has taught the community, complete with one of the Ugandans playing Joseph

Smith in white face.

Uh, oh.

That’s where I’ll stop. Go see it yourself. You will be howling by now.

“The Book of Mormon” has fantastic ensemble members, choreography (by Casey Nicholaw), songs, costumes, sets, lighting and a talented orchestra, with both touring and local members.

I don’t know exactly why, but the musical numbers are not listed in the program. I suspect that the playwrights want the audience to be surprised and not anticipate what’s next.

If that’s a problem for you, find Act One and Act Two online.

And when young men in white shirts and ties ring your doorbell, at least smile?

Rapper Lupe Fiasco headlines at Neptune

By Andy Rathbun

at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Herald Writer

It’s best not to underestimate Lupe Fiasco.

The Chicago-based rapper was an early favorite of Jay Z and Kanye West, thanks to his sometimesbrainy and personal lyrics, something showcased on early hits like “Kick, Push.”

Those tracks made it seem like he would stay one of those critically acclaimed artists that never quite reaches the mainstream.

Not so, however. In recent years, he’s crossed over into the pop charts with songs that are less overtly hip-hop, including the Hot 100 hits “The Show Goes On” and “Battle Scars,” which combined have more than 100 million plays on Spotify.

He’s touring now after the 2015 release of “Tetsuo and Youth,” and will headline the Neptune Theatre at 8 p.m.

Wednesday.

Fans of his hip-hop have praised his new album as a return to form after dalliances with the more mainstream charts — but don’t be surprised to hear his biggest hits as well.

Tickets are $35 to $55 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

A pair of shows, meanwhile, will keep the Showbox in Seattle busy in the coming days.

First up is a stop from the accomplished Oklahoman JD McPherson, who will hit the Showbox at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Write-ups in Rolling Stone and praise from country rockers like Eric Church have helped scoot McPherson toward the spotlight, even if his

Then, long-running jamband rockers Big Head Todd and the Monsters will play the Showbox at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Colorado-based act made its big break in 1993, when its album “Sister Sweetly” grabbed hold of the charts thanks to singles like “Bittersweet” and “Broken Hearted Savior.”

The group has since become a steady presence on the stage. Its latest album, “Live at Red Rocks 2015,” chronicled the group’s show at the historic venue in its home state, while its most recent studio album, “Black Beehive,” put the act’s blues rock tendencies front and center.

Tickets are $35 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Lupe Fiasco is slated to perform at the Neptune Theatre at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
