MARYSVILLE PILCHUCK

Apology voiced at sentencing High school shooter’s father, Raymond Fryberg, gets 2-year sentence for illegally possessing firearms.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Raymond Fryberg apologized Monday for the actions of his son Oct. 24, 2014.

Fryberg, 42, spoke in court about the Marysville Pilchuck High School shootings and the role played by his son, Jaylen.

He did so as part of an effort to

persuade a federal judge to give him probation instead of prison time for illegally possessing firearms, including the handgun Jaylen used to kill four of his friends and wound another before committing suicide.

Raymond Fryberg was not allowed to have guns, the result of a 2002 domestic-violence protection order filed by a former girlfriend.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge James Robart pressed Fryberg on his consistent claims that he didn’t know he was restricted from owning guns, noting that Fryberg signed paperwork to that effect in Tulalip Tribal Court years ago.

Fryberg was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison, with three years of probation to follow. He will be required to surrender sometime next month. His attorney, John Henry Browne, said he plans to ask the court to allow Fryberg to

remain free on bail pending an appeal.

“You cannot punish him any more than he’s already been punished,” Browne said.

Fryberg told Robart that he doesn’t “condone any of the things my son did. It’s a tragedy.”

He had spent time with the young people lost and he prays for them, he said. “I wake up with the same broken heart every day,” he said.

EVERETT — A former exotic dancer won’t spend any more time in jail for running a multimillion-dollar prostitution ring out of her Snohomish County roadside coffee stands.

Carmela Panico faced up to a year in jail at Monday’s hearing, but a judge agreed to grant the espresso madam a first-time offender waiver. That spared her any more time behind bars.

Panico engaged in predatory behavior, profiting from women with drug problems and financial troubles.

Hendrix agreed not to push for jail time because Panico helped make the case against a corrupt police officer, Superior Court Judge Thomas Wynne was told.

Former Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Darrell O’Neill’s “abuse of public trust” demanded action and the case against him was weaker without Panico’s promised testimony,

“Her cooperation helped secure a felony conviction for former Sgt. O’Neill,” Hendrix said.

O’Neill was accused of providing Panico with information about police investigations into her coffee stands and turning a blind eye to the prostitution operation. Investigators were told that Panico engaged in sex with O’Neill in exchange for his help.

Woman in espresso-stand prostitution helped convict former cop Panico served two days in jail after her stands were raided in 2013.

The former Snohomish woman, 53, was forced to walk away from her lucrative bikini espresso stands in 2014 after pleading guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering. Prosecutors alleged that the stands were operating as drive-through brothels, raking in millions.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Bob Hendrix said

By Chris Winters MARYSVILLE — The Marysville City Council on Monday took up a fireworks ban but decided to postpone a decision so they would have more time for consideration. The council plans to next take up the issue at its Jan. 25 meeting.

The proposal was introduced shortly after an advisory vote in last November’s election.

Proposition 1 asked the public whether the council should enact a ban. The measure passed 59.25 percent to 40.75 percent, with 10,004 ballots being cast.

The council wasted no time this year, convening for a work session Jan. 4 to hash out a draft ordinance and putting it on the agenda Monday night.

But several council members said they wanted more time, partly out of deference to Councilman Jeff Vaughan, who was out of town, and partly because several members still had concerns.

Newly elected council President Kamille Norton said she wouldn’t support the ordinance as it was written.

“I find it sadly ironic that something that brings neighbors together to celebrate freedom and the birth of this nation is being taken away,” Norton said.

Most law-abiding people would be punished for the actions of a few reckless individuals, she said.

The fireworks measure was proposed after numerous brush fires broke out last summer in the midst of a drought. Many of the fires were believed to have been started by fireworks.

The Independence Day holiday is also one of the busiest days of the year for emergency services.

But Brendan Hart, youth pastor at the Mountain View Assembly of God church in Marysville, said fireworks sales were a source of revenue for the church.

“It has basically our number one fundraiser at the church,” he said, accounting for about half of the youth ministry’s $16,000 budget.

That business would likely go across I-5 to Boom City, a large seasonal fireworks market on the Tulalip Indian Reservation.

The proximity of Boom City also would make enforcement

Ringling circus elephants to pack their trunks in May Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is ending its elephant acts a year and a half early, and will retire all of its touring elephants in May. The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of circus elephant acts with local governments passing ordinances in response to concerns over animal cruelty.

The circus’s parent company, Feld Entertainment, told The Associated Press exclusively that all of the iconic elephants will be permanently retired to the company’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation, located between Orlando and Tampa.

The company said in March that it would retire the full herd to the center by 2018. But once officials began planning details, they realized “we

could actually do this a lot sooner” because building the new structures to house the retiring elephants didn’t take as long as they originally thought, said Alana Feld, Ringling’s executive vice president and show producer. It costs about $65,000 yearly to care for each elephant, Feld said.

Eleven elephants currently tour with the circus.

“They’ll be joining the rest of the herd,” Feld said.

She’s part of the family that

owns Feld Entertainment, which owns the largest herd of Asian elephants in North America. In addition to the elephants still touring, 29 of the animals are on the property now, and two are on breeding loans to zoos, Feld said.

Animal rights groups Monday applauded Ringling’s new timeline and announcement. “Like the elephants themselves, it had outsized importance because of the symbolic

value of the enterprise,” wrote Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. “Ringling had been one of the biggest defenders of this kind of archaic animal exploitation, and the imminent end of its traveling elephant acts signaled that even one of the most tough-minded and hardened animal-use companies now recognized that the world is changing and it had to adapt.”

fireworks going off in the city in the week leading up to New Year’s Eve. The new ordinance would make possessing or discharging smaller fireworks without a cityapproved permit to be a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of up to $500.

Selling them would be a

misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to 90 days in jail. Possessing, selling or discharging larger, commercial-grade fireworks would be a gross misdemeanor, which carries a $5,000 maximum fine and up to a year in jail.

The prohibition would not cover trick or novelty devices, as defined by state law, or road flares or other signalling devices used by

motor vehicles, railroads or transportation agencies.

The city may authorize general public displays or displays for religious purposes.

The way state law is written, any ban will not go into effect until early 2017. That’s an allowance that would prevent a business that had spent a lot of money pre-ordering fireworks to suddenly have the rug yanked out from under

them shortly before July 4 or Dec. 31.

However, the state House of Representatives is considering a bill, HB 2348, that would remove that one-year waiting period.

The bill is scheduled for a public hearing Thursday before the House Committee on Local Government.

conservatively Monday, chose not to speak at the sentencing. She also declined to talk with reporters afterward.

Wynne noted that Panico hasn’t been charged with any new crimes since her guilty plea. She’s made substantial progress toward rehabilitation and sending her to jail now wouldn’t serve any “useful purpose,” the judge said.

Panico moved away from Snohomish County to start over, defense attorney Jennifer Kaplan said.

She lives in a small town in

eastern Washington, where she works as a waitress in a short-order restaurant.

She’s learning to design and install kitchens. She volunteers at an animal shelter, and she raises money for her community’s food bank, according to her lawyer.

“For the first time in her adult life, she’s not involved in the adult entertainment industry,” Kaplan said. “She has no plans to return.”

Panico will be on probation for a year.

Before she went into the coffee business, Panico

was connected to Talents West, a company owned

by Frank Colacurcio and his son, according to police records. The Colacurcios ran multiple strip clubs, including Honey’s in Lynnwood. The Colacurcios were forced to shut down their nightclubs as part of federal organized-crime prosecution.

Court papers say FBI agents agreed to help with the investigation into Panico’s stands because of her past.

Panico, a college graduate, opened Java Juggs in

2008 and operated as many as eight stands, mainly along Highway 99. She preferred to hire women with previous “escort” experience.

Baristas were expected to make a certain amount of money during their shifts.

They kept what was left over. The women engaged in sex shows and prostitution to earn bigger tips.

Some of the baristas reported earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Investigators dug deep into Panico’s finances. She had deposited more than $2 million in her bank accounts over three years.

She purchased multiple espresso stands, often with cash. Detectives alleged that Panico used proceeds from criminal activity to finance a “lavish lifestyle” that included expensive hobbies, including horses and boats. She also paid for several plastic surgeries, court papers said.

Panico forfeited $250,000 and her stands to the city of Everett as part of her plea agreement. The city flattened at least two of the stands.

Under the previous city code, fireworks can only be set off from 9 a.m. Dec. 31 to 2 a.m. Jan. 1, as well as between 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 4. That code was often ignored, and there were numerous reports of

Fire chief denies he was impaired at big blaze

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — The city of Everett is investigating a claim that longtime Fire Chief Murray Gordon showed up to a fatal three-alarm blaze on New Years Eve impaired and smelling of alcohol — allegations the chief denies.

The city’s Human Resources department has hired an outside lawyer to gather facts about the allegation, which was

made by a member of the fire department.

“I was not impaired the night of the Bluffs fire and I am confident that the investigation will confirm that,” Gordon said Monday. “I understand that the City must take these allegations seriously, and I will fully cooperate with the investigation and any actions that the city takes as a result.”

The complaint was received Jan. 5.

Gordon has not been placed on leave during the outside investigation, city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.

City officials Monday confirmed the investigation. Gordon reportedly drove his city vehicle to the fire scene.

A 65-year-old man died of smoke inhalation and more than a dozen others were hurt.

In all, 150 people lost their homes during the fire at the Bluffs apartments Dec. 31 along

Casino Road.

The fire was reported at 7:09 that night. More than 90 firefighters and emergency medical workers from Everett and beyond battled the blaze and helped the injured. The victims, ages 5 to 60, were treated for smoke inhalation, burns and injuries from being dropped out of upper story windows.

The city said Gordon worked at the fire in a support role.

“As is typical for large fires,

Chief Gordon’s role at the New Year’s Eve fire at the Bluffs apartment complex was to help pull in additional resources and allow the battalion chiefs to focus on operations,” Pembroke said.

Gordon reportedly requested assistance from the American Red Cross in setting up the emergency shelter for people who lost their homes. He also asked Everett Transit to provide two buses See CHIEF, Page A10

Having two platforms at the station should make it more efficient to dispatch trains, he said.

Station parking will remain the same, at 63 spaces.

On Dec. 1, something on television caught her attention. On that day, she turned away.

She last saw Michael Wood at the crosswalk. He was on his way to work as a mental health counselor on the night shift.

Sirens are common in their Lynnwood neighborhood.

Lois didn’t think anything was unusual when she heard them that evening.

Hours later, she would learn that her husband was hit by a car and killed while crossing the street.

She is 68, and he was 72. Dec. 30 would have been their 45th anniversary. They never had children, choosing to share life with each other.

“We liked our freedom,” she said. “We had good friends. We did things like drive to Mexico.”

They lived well until about 15 years ago. Michael was in the electronics industry and they took a hit as manufacturers moved jobs overseas. Some of their investments soured.

They lost their Brier house of 27 years. Recently, they’d been living in an apartment in Lynnwood.

Michael hoped to retire at 76.

Commuters walk along the platform at Mukilteo Station after disembarking the Sounder train Thursday. With work nearing completion on the $11 million facility, Sound Transit expects to open a second platform in Mukilteo in late January or early February.

Sounder station almost done Delays prevented a new platform for commuters in Mukilteo from opening a year ago. Sound Transit now expects the facility to open in late January or early February.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Commuters are waiting on more than trains these days at the Sounder station near the waterfront.

The opening of Mukilteo’s second — and mostly finished — train platform is a year behind schedule and counting.

Sound Transit officials believe

they’ll be able to welcome passengers to the upgraded station within weeks. A contractor’s trouble getting elevators approved by state inspectors is the latest in a series of holdups.

“It’s looking like late January or early February,” said Eric Beckman, a Sound Transit deputy executive director. “We have a soft target at this point, because there are a few things

out of our control.”

Construction began on the $11 million facility in 2014. The project is expected to remain within budget, even with the delay, Beckman said.

When complete, the new platform and enclosures should give people a waiting area out of the elements. A pedestrian bridge over the tracks will provide access to the new south platform from the north platform in use now.

“It is a very beautiful facility, probably one of the nicest Sounder stations we have,” Beckman said.

State lawmakers zero in on prison software glitch

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

front porch

OLYMPIA — State lawmakers confronted the leader of the Department of Corrections Monday about errors which enabled convicted criminals to get out of prison early since 2002.

The Senate Law and Justice Committee quizzed Corrections Secretary Dan Pacholke for nearly an hour on the software glitch that enabled the mistaken release of an estimated 3,200 inmates. So far, the deaths of two people have been tied to convicted criminals set free by mistake.

“It is certainly one of the most

egregious management failures in state government that I’ve been aware of in the time that I’ve been in the Legislature,” said Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane, the committee chairman.

Senators pressed Pacholke on why the problem never got fixed even after corrections department personnel learned about it in December 2012.

Pacholke apologized for the “tragic error” but said he didn’t know why the needed update was delayed 16 times, and may not know until an independent investigation is completed later this year.

“This is a grave breach of

public trust and it’s critical that we rebuild confidence in the Department of Corrections,” he said.

He told lawmakers the longdelayed fix will be deployed Tuesday.

The hearing came shortly after the 2016 legislative session got under way Monday. The session is scheduled to run 60 days.

Legislative leaders expect to focus on finding a path to amply fund public schools by a 2018 deadline, complying with a federal court mandate to evaluate mentally ill inmates held in county jails and paying the tab for last summer’s major wildfires.

But the situation with the corrections department is going to be a hot topic throughout.

“You can’t whitewash this. We have to make darn sure nothing like this happens again,” said Sen. Kirk Pearson, R-Monroe, a committee member, following the hearing. “This is one of the bigger breaches of public safety in our state.”

In the hearing, Pacholke described how a sequencing miscalculation in the agency’s electronic records system resulted in inaccurate release dates for roughly 3 percent of all offenders released since 2002 He said when he learned of

Industries identified problems on two elevator cars, said Matthew Erlich, a spokesman for the agency.

Until the elevators pass inspection, the state

considers them property of contractor Olympic Elevator Co., of Redmond.

“We’re trying to get additional information from the elevator company to process the plans and approve the permit,” Erlich said.

The new station will tie into a waterfront makeover underway in Mukilteo

since the city took ownership of the former U.S. Air Force tank-farm site nearby.

“It’ll be great to have the completed access to the Sounder platform,” Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson said. “It’s the first piece of the tank-farm transformation. The shape of the rest of the waterfront

starts to come together.”

State contractors are now in the process of removing an old pier and pilings to make way for a new ferry dock. Construction on the new $129 million terminal is expected to begin in 2017 and finish in 2019.

The Mukilteo Sounder station opened in 2008.

An average of 130 commuters board there every weekday. Ridership is growing. It increased by 21 percent on the Everett-toSeattle Sounder run during the third quarter of 2015 compared to a year earlier.

Barista injured in fire dies Herald staff EVERETT — A woman injured in a fire at an espresso stand last week has died.

The fire broke out Thursday at the Sinners and Saints Coffee Co. along Everett Mall Way. The barista was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. A hospital spokeswoman confirmed that the woman died Monday.

The woman was identified as Courtney Campbell, a mother of two, according to a web site set up to advertise a benefit for her.

The event is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday at Tony V’s Garage on Hewitt Avenue in Everett.

The woman had recently purchased the stand, Everett Assistant Fire Marshal Eric Hicks said.

Investigators don’t know what sparked the fire. They believe a propane tank inside the stand contributed to the blaze, Hicks said. But it’s unclear what heat source ignited the gas.

There was a portable heater in the stand.

“Without being able to talk to her, we’re probably going to have to classify it as undetermined,” Hicks said.

The fire spread to the woman’s nearby car.

The espresso stand was destroyed.

The woman’s death comes less than two weeks after Mark Davis, 65, died in a three-alarm apartment fire on W. Casino Road in Everett. More than a dozen people were hurt in the Dec. 31 fire.

while the investigation is going on.

Pacholke could not answer some questions, like why he didn’t learn about it until mid-December even though the head of the agency’s technology section reportedly knew a month earlier.

And he endured some pointed criticism that in knowingly allowing inmates to be released early, some employees demonstrated a lack of commitment to public safety.

Pacholke also defended his agency against criticism that employees knowingly allowed the mistake to go unfixed for so long because they lacked a commitment to public safety.

“I believe we are a good organization,” and it is wrong to stain the entire with such a “broad brush” because of this error, he said.

In the hearing Pearson asked Pacholke if he was preparing for the potential cost to the state from future lawsuits.

“Certainly there will be some cost to it but I couldn’t guess as to what it would be,” he said, adding that his focus now is on getting the software changed and working.

Afterwards, Pearson said he and the public will be watching Pacholke closely to see how he goes about restoring trust in the agency’s ability to carry out sentences.

“It is my hope Secretary Pacholke will demonstrate leadership in this,” he said.

“It’s on his shoulders. The buck stops with him.”

OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS

Died January 5, 2016, in

Seattle, Wash. of complications following surgery.

Jim was born in Spokane, Wash. to James (Sr) and Leona Morrison, December 19, 1936. As a young child, Jim a n d h i s f a m i l y m ove d to Seattle where his father went to work for Shell Oil C o mp a ny. A f te r r et u r n i n g home from the war, James Sr. opened Morrison Realty and Construction Company, settling the family in the View Ridge area. Jim graduated from Roosevelt High School and the University of Washington, where he was o n t h e U n i ve r s i t y ’ s c r ew team, attended ROTC and joined Psi Upsilon fraternity.

Following in his father’s footsteps, he enlisted in the US Army and was stationed in Ko r e a , w h e r e h e s e r v e d proudly.

Home on leave in 1960, Jim and his fiancée Linda P i e rc e we r e m a r r i e d a n d then moved to Kansas, where Jim was now stationed. Daughter Christy was born there in 1961. After serving his enlistment, the f a m i l y r e t u r n e d h o m e to Seattle where he went to work for Time Oil Company.

In 1963, son Steve was born, and Jim later went to work for University Federal Savings and Loan, eventually achieving the position of Vice-President.

Jim left University Federal and started a successful career in the Mortgage lending industr y. In 1987, he achieved his dream of starting his own business, opening a Real Estate Escrow company in the Lynnwood, Wash. area, which he operated for 24 years. It was satisfying for Jim to have his son, Steve join him at the company, for it reminded him of the times that he worked with his father at Morrison Realty.

A f t e r s u f fe r i n g a s m a l l stroke, Jim eventually retired from the business, mainly to his large vegetable garden at home, where his organic vegetables were a delight to everyone. He loved a lot of t h i n g s i n l i fe : fa m i l y a n d friends, a good joke, lunch with his buddies and that wonder ful garden, happily giving away virtually all he grew, and his green thumb and generous nature (and that sense of humor!) will be sorely missed by all.

Jim is preceded in death by his parents and his two brothers, William and John.

Jim is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Linda; sister, Mary Murray (Matt) of Sun Valley, Idaho; daughter, Christy Scussel (John) of Lynnwood and son, Steve of Mill Creek, Wash.; his beloved nieces and nephews, cousins and countless friends and business associates, that he has networked over his many years in business.

The family would like to thank the doctors at Swedish Hospital Seattle especially Dr. Alexander Farivar and Dr. Andreas Schneider, for their wonderful dedication, care and compassion to dad and his family during his time at Swedish. Thanks also to the nurses and staff at 6th floor East ICU Swedish First Hill for their excellent care for dad during his stay.

His Funeral will be held on Saturday, January 16, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at Assumption Catholic Church, 6201 33rd Ave. NE, Seattle, 98115. Burial will follow at the Fir-Conway Cemetery in Conway, WA where Linda’s family is from and Jim spent many happy weekends at their family farm.

Memorials may be made to Swedish Medical Center Foundation for 6th Fl. East ICU, 747 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122.

Obama’s final State of the Union President hopes to counter electorate’s anger with his address

By Greg Jaffe and David Nakamura The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will deliver his last State of the Union speech at a moment when the fear and anger in the American electorate seem to have caught even him by surprise.

His challenge as he takes the biggest stage in American politics Tuesday is whether his message can rise above the election-season vitriol.

Obama has promised a speech that, in his words, cuts through the “day-to-day noise of Washington” and celebrates America’s capacity “to come together as one American family.” Instead of a to-do list of policy proposals that have little chance of passing Congress, he has said he plans to deliver a speech that will describe “who we are” as a nation, or perhaps more accurately, who Obama in the last year of his presidency would like us to be.

The problem for the president is that the gulf between his vision of a unified America, one that he has trumpeted from his earliest days on the national scene, and the current political reality has never seemed wider. This final address from the House chamber represents one of his last, best chances to frame the November election.

On issues ranging from guns, immigration reform and Middle Eastern refugees, Obama faces a deeply divided American public. Some of his signature political victories from 2015, such as the Iran nuclear deal and the opening to Cuba, have provoked a fierce Republican backlash.

The divide is perhaps deepest on issues of war and terrorism.

In the battle against the Islamic State, Obama has struggled to balance intense

When to watch President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address will be broadcast at 6 p.m. Pacific by all major networks and cable news channels. The setting is the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is set to deliver the Republican response to Obama’s speech. fear of terrorism after last fall’s attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, with his conviction that there are no fast fixes to the problems in either Iraq or Syria. The Islamic State occupies parts of both countries.

The United States is counting on local forces, backed by American air power, to slowly take territory from Islamic State fighters. A bolstered counterterrorism effort will seek in the coming months to kill the group’s senior leaders through drone strikes and raids, officials say.

Only a year ago, Obama used his State of the Union address to declare the end of an era marked by 15 years of terrorism and continuous war.

“Tonight we turn the page,” the president began last January.

“Tonight for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over.”

Today, there are fewer than 15,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, down from a high of 180,000 when he took office.

But the president’s “turn the page” metaphor already seems dated. In the past few weeks, seven U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan, and the president’s top commander there has said he does not think further cuts to the current force of 9,800 U.S. troops are realistic anytime soon.

The president has struggled of late to calibrate his remarks to match the country’s mood.

“So much of his legacy was built around ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,”

said Julianne Smith, a former Obama White House official and senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.

“We all expected to be in a different place, and we’re not.”

Obama has responded with a campaign that emphasizes the limits of American power to repair the Middle East and seeks to keep U.S. forces from being drawn too deeply into chaotic quagmires. His approach has provoked heavy criticism from Republicans, who are promising more bombs and tighter restrictions on Muslim refugees.

“We will carpet-bomb them into oblivion,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, of his plan for the Islamic State. “I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out!”

Republican front-runner Donald Trump has proposed a temporary ban on all Muslim immigrants.

Obama initially mocked the heated Republican rhetoric as fearful, weak and politically craven. “When candidates say we wouldn’t admit 3-year-old orphans — that’s political posturing,” Obama said in November.

A few weeks later in a primetime address to the nation, Obama took a different course.

“The threat from terrorism is real,” he acknowledged. “But we will overcome it. Our success won’t depend on tough talk or abandoning our values or giving in to fear.”

The State of the Union offers Obama another big opportunity to make his case that

America is strong and secure enough to stay the course and stick to its values.

But it also presents him a huge political opportunity to talk to the country about what kind of person should replace him. The worry among establishment Republicans is that Obama will seize upon remarks by candidates such as Trump to discredit the party.

“I suspect he’ll be very tempted to paint the entire party with a broad brush as anti-immigrant, rather that seek out common ground,” said Michael Green, a former Bush White House official and senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Obama faces a similar challenge on domestic issues such as gun violence. At the State of the Union, he will use silence to make his case. The White House said it will leave one seat empty in the first lady’s State of the Union guest box to highlight the toll of gun violence.

On no issue has the country’s growing division been more shocking to the White House than on immigration. Obama had once hoped to find common ground with Republicans on the matter.

He gave up on Congress in late 2014, issuing an executive order that would defer the deportation of up to 5 million illegal immigrants, most of them parents of U.S. citizens and those who arrived illegally as children.

Republicans denounced him as an “imperial president.”

Texas and 25 other states sued to block the program, which has yet to enroll a single person as the two sides fight it out in federal court.

In the days after his speech, Obama will travel to the Republican heartland. In Omaha and then in Baton Rouge, he plans to continue to make his case.

Penn: Nothing to hide over Guzman contact

ACROSS THE U.S.

Task force offers mammogram advice WASHINGTON — Mammograms do the most good later in life, a government task force declared Monday in recommending that women get one every other year starting at age 50. It said 40-somethings should make their own choices.

When to start routine mammograms and how frequently to get them has long been controversial. The latest guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force stick with its advice that women should get one every two years between ages 50 and 74. Some health groups urge mammograms every year starting at 40 — although the American Cancer Society has upped its starting age to 45.

Calif.: Last quake survivor The last survivor of the devastating San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 has died, a relative confirmed Monday. William A. “Bill” Del Monte died at a retirement home in Marin County on Monday, according to his niece, Janette Barroca, of San Francisco. Del Monte was three months old when the quake struck, forcing his family to escape subsequent fires in a horse-drawn buck board, Barroca said.

The family crossed the bay to Alameda County but came back to the city after the home was rebuilt, Barroca said.

Wearing medals free speech A federal appeals court in San Francisco on Monday tossed out a veteran’s conviction for wearing military medals he didn’t earn, saying it was a form of free speech protected by the Constitution. A specially convened 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the First Amendment allows people to wear unearned military honors. Elven Joe Swisher., of Idaho, was convicted in 2007 of violating the Stolen Valor Act, which made it a misdemeanor to falsely claim military accomplishments.

Texas: ‘Affluenza’ mom The mother of a Texas teenager who used an “affluenza” defense for a deadly wreck could soon leave jail after a judge Monday sharply reduced her bond.

Tonya Couch’s bond is now $75,000 instead of $1 million. The 48-year-old is charged with hindering the apprehension of a felon after she and her son, Ethan Couch, were caught in Mexico.

Ethan Couch, 18, killed four people in a 2013 crash and was facing allegations that he violated his probation.

MEXICO CITY — Actor Sean Penn said he has “nothin’ to hide,” after images published Monday indicated he was under surveillance when he met with the Mexican actress who led him to Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — and the pair was apparently followed and photographed as they set out for the supposedly secret meeting with the drug lord.

In a brief email exchange with The Associated Press, Penn also dismissed criticism over his interview with the fugitive, who was captured Friday, a day before Penn’s 10,000word story was published in Rolling Stone magazine.

Mexican officials have said that contacts between Guzman’s lawyers and Penn and actress Kate del Castillo helped them track down the fugitive and they raided his hideout in rural Durango state a few days after their Oct. 2 meeting. Guzman evaded authorities then, but was finally captured after a shootout Friday in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa.

Penn wrote in the Rolling Stone article of elaborate security precautions, including switching phones. As he flew to Mexico for the meeting, he wrote, “I see no spying eyes, but I assume they are there.”

He was right — and they had apparently been following del Castillo for months based on contacts with Guzman’s lawyers.

The Mexican newspaper El Universal published 10 images Monday that appeared to show Penn being monitored as he arrived in Mexico.

In the photographs, Penn is shown arriving with del Castillo at an airport, then at a hotel, and greeting the men who apparently took them to a

Reports of starvation and images of emaciated children have raised global concerns and underscored the urgency for new peace talks. Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the U.N. reported at a closed-door briefing of the Security Council that more than 400 people in the besieged town of Madaya “are on the brink of death and in need of immediate medical evacuation.”

small airstrip, from which they flew to the jungle camp to meet Guzman. The newspaper said the photos were part of a Mexican government intelligence file it had obtained.

Asked about the images Monday, Penn would only say: “I’ve got nothin’ to hide.”

Mexican Attorney General Arely Gomez, in an interview with a local radio station, said that Mexican investigators were following the movements of one of Guzman’s lawyers, not necessarily Penn or del Castillo.

Asked whether Penn or del Castillo were under investigation, Gomez said a “new line” of inquiry had been opened that could include them or Guzman’s lawyers, and could involve “covering up” for Guzman “or something bigger.”

Del Castillo has not

commented, but Penn wrote in Rolling Stone that Guzman was interested in having a movie made of his life and wanted del Castillo, who had portrayed a drug trafficker in a Mexican television series, involved in the project.

Guzman’s capture came six months after his dramatic escape through a mile-long tunnel he dug from his cell at the maximum-security Altiplano prison, west of Mexico City.

Mexico has begun the process of extraditing Guzman to the United States, where he faces drug-trafficking charges, but that could take “a year or longer” because of legal challenges, said the head of Mexico’s extradition office, Manuel Merino.

In the meantime, Guzman, who faces drug-trafficking and

organized crime charges in Mexico, was being held at the same prison he escaped from in July. A Mexican security official said the drug lord is being held in a different cell and that the tunnel he built and the cell he escaped from had been destroyed.

Guzman’s powerful Sinaloa cartel smuggles multi-ton shipments of cocaine and marijuana as well as manufacturing and transporting methamphetamines and heroin, mostly to the U.S. He is wanted in several U.S. states and his July escape deeply embarrassed the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto and strained ties between the countries.

Guzman’s attorney, Juan Pablo Badillo ,has said the defense already has filed six motions to challenge extradition requests.

Developer eyes 10-acre Port parcel

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — A California developer has offered to buy nearly 10 acres of industrial land in northeast Everett from the Port of Everett for about $2.85 million.

The proposed sale comes after months of negotiations with Panattoni Development Co., of Newport Beach, California, said Terrie Battuello, the port’s chief of business development.

She will ask the port’s three elected commissioners to approve the sale when they meet Tuesday evening.

The sale is “about creating jobs and getting property back on the tax rolls,” she said.

The land is part of the port’s Riverside Business Park, which is sandwiched between the Snohomish River and BNSF Railway Co.’s Delta Yard in northeast Everett. It has about 38 acres that can be developed, including the 10 acres Panattoni wants to buy.

Riverside used to buzz with activity. It was a lumber mill and processing site for more than 80 years. In the late 1970s about 1,800 people worked there, according to a Port of Everett planning document. That ended

in the mid-1980s, when Weyerhaeuser shut down its operations there. The port bought the land in 1998 with an eye to encouraging new development.

That didn’t happen as quickly as port officials at the time hoped.

Now, though, “we’ve received a lot of interest” in the land, she said.

Battuello declined to give specifics about any ongoing talks that could lead to future sales. In all, Riverside has about 38 acres that can be developed.

The port also plans to build a walking path along the Snohomish River at the site by 2019,

she said.

Panattoni declined to comment on the proposed sale. The company has offices in Canada, Europe and across the U.S. “We feel very bullish on the Everett” and Snohomish County real estate market, said Bart Brynestad, who runs Panattoni’s Seattle-area office.

It already is working with Jones Lang LaSalle to develop PowderMill Business Center, a 36-acre industrial park north of Paine Field in Everett.

Minivans: Are they there yet?

Chrysler wants to revive the family vehicle that took the suburbs by storm.

Associated Press

DETROIT — Thirty-three years ago, Chrysler invented the minivan. Now, it’s reinventing it — with styling reminiscent of an SUV, high-tech features and a first-ever hybrid version that Chrysler hopes will make minivans popular again.

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was unveiled Monday morning at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

It’s the latest incarnation of the family hauler that took the suburbs by storm. Lee Iacocca, Chrysler Corp.’s former chairman, drove the company’s first minivan off the assembly line in 1983. Baby Boomers loved its sliding doors and roomy interior, and the minivan quickly replaced station wagons as the vehicle of choice for shuttling around kids.

By the early 1990s, Chrysler was selling more than 500,000 per year. U.S. minivan sales peaked at 1.37 million in 2000.

But minivans took a hit when

A central Montana coal mine reached an agreement Monday with environmentalists and state regulators that is intended to avoid a major shutdown. The deal comes after a state review panel rejected an expansion permit granted to the Bull Mountain Mine in 2013, threatening to halt most operations if the dispute could not be resolved.

The agreement gives state regulators six months to look again at the effects from the underground mine.

Volvo take top awards >> Honda, at the Detroit auto show, A8 car companies started making crossovers — small SUVs that had as much space as minivans but handled more like cars and had better fuel economy. Minivans suddenly looked clunky and undesirable. General Motors and Ford stopped making them altogether. Last year, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles — Chrysler’s current owner — sold less than 200,000 minivans in the U.S. FCA aims to reverse that slide with the Pacifica, which goes on sale this spring. It replaces both the Chrysler Town and Country

and Dodge Grand Caravan, although FCA’s car chief Tim Kuniskis says the company will keep making the current model of the Grand Caravan for as long as there is buyer demand. Sales of the Grand Caravan fell 28 percent last year.

There’s hardly anything the company didn’t change with the Pacifica — members of some focus groups didn’t realize it was a minivan, the company says.

Kuniskis says a vehicle so different deserved a new name; the company settled on “Pacifica,” the name of a small SUV Chrysler See VANS, Page A8

By Sam Hananel WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday appeared ready to deal a major blow to organized labor as it considers the free speech rights of government workers who say they shouldn’t be forced to pay fees to public sector unions.

The high court’s conservative justices seemed inclined during 80 minutes of oral argument to overrule a fourdecade old precedent that allows public unions to collect “fair share” fees from nonmembers to help cover the costs of collective bargaining.

A group of California public school teachers claims those mandatory fees violate the First Amendment rights of workers who disagree with the union’s positions.

Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected arguments made by lawyers for the state of California and the California Teachers Association that the current fee system is needed to prevent non-members from becoming “free riders” who get all the benefits of union bargaining and grievance procedures without paying for it.

“The union is basically making the teachers ‘compelled-riders’ on issues with which they strongly disagree,” Kennedy said.

Arguing in support of the union, California Solicitor General Edward Dumont said the state needs a reliable bargaining partner that is funded by all the workers it represents.

He said the fees for collective bargaining typically apply to non-political issues such as mileage reimbursement, working hours and other mundane issues.

Arch Coal, the nation’s second-largest coal miner, filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, becoming the latest company to succumb to cheap natural gas and federal regulations.

from non-members to help cover the costs of collective bargaining as long as the money doesn’t go to political causes. The court in that case, Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, said the arrangement was justified to prevent nonmembers from becoming free riders.

But the teachers argue that unions have become more political over time.

They say even a push for higher salaries and pension benefits raises political questions about the best use of tax dollars for

Chrysler’s market share for years.

So it’s debuting several segment firsts. The Pacifica will be the only minivan with a plug-in hybrid version. The hybrid will go up to 30 miles on electric power alone before its gas engine kicks in, thanks to a lithium-ion battery tucked under the second-row seats. Gaspowered models have a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 287 horsepower. Chrysler promises the new minivan, 200 pounds lighter than its predecessors, will have the best fuel economy in the segment.

And Chrysler is changing the minvan’s hallmark feature, the sliding doors: They’ll be aluminum and hands-free, opening automatically if the driver

cash-strapped localities.

A federal district court ruled against the teachers, saying the outcome was clear under Abood. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed.

Arguing for the teachers, Michael Carvin said if the current regime is upheld, every public employee in California is essentially subsidizing “the governor’s political war chest.”

Justice Elena Kagan warned that the challengers bear a heavy burden to overturn a nearly 40-year-old case on which

waves a foot under them.

The vehicle also can automatically perform parallel and perpendicular parking, and the rear-seat entertainment system has two ten-inch touchscreens that let passengers play games, watch movies or surf the Internet.

There is no all-wheeldrive version for now.

Kuniskis said all-wheeldrive sales make up a tiny percentage of the minivan market, so FCA didn’t think there was enough demand.

Pricing hasn’t been announced. The current Chrysler Town and Country — the fancier of the company’s models — starts at $30,000.

The minivan will be made in Windsor, Ontario.

Kuniskis said a few will be

in the present to save for the future since tomorrow isn’t promised.

■■They are “triflin’” (and yes, the “g” is dropped for emphasis). That’s my go-to word for people who have no good reason for not saving. They have reasonable expenses and more than enough income to save.

Kelley Blue Book analyst Mark Williams says minivans face an uphill battle. This fall, small SUVs became the biggest segment of the U.S. new-vehicle market, at 14 percent. Small vans make up only about 3 percent of that market, according to Ward’s AutoInfoBank.

Still, Williams thinks the Pacifica is a minivan the owner can be proud to drive.

And there’s one more selling point for parents: The rear touchscreens have an animated map mode that can show a child how far the minivan is from its destination.

For decades, the growth of union workers in government has helped compensate for steep losses in manufacturing, construction and other private industries where unions once thrived.

Honda, Volvo tops Associated Press DETROIT — After a few years of Detroit domination, two foreign automakers nabbed 2016 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year honors.

A panel of about 55 independent automotive journalists selected the Honda Civic and Volvo XC90 on Monday. The winners were unveiled at the start of press previews for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Civic bested the Chevrolet Malibu and the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and the XC90 edged out the Nissan

There’s one thing you can do to make the fast successful: Be consistent.

Chevy was a particularly strong contender, with 2 additional cars on the pre-finalist short list of 10. It was the first time in the 23-year history of the awards program that a brand had three representatives on the short list.

Instead the Civic became a two-time winner.

Volvo’s award should help the automaker as it tries to re-establish itself in the U.S. market after being sold in 2010 by Ford Motor Co. to Chinese investors.

The way to help start saving consistently is to shut down all unnecessary spending and shopping so that you can see that you probably do have money to save.

IN OUR VIEW | Legislature 2016

A long list for a short session Here’s how we know the Legislature will wrap up its session, which started Monday, in the scheduled 60 days: Lawmakers, like other state officials, are barred by state law from campaign fundraising during and 30 days following the legislative session. Have we mentioned this is an election year?

So, 60 days it is.

Let’s look at some of what we’d like to see get done in that time: Education: Despite progress and an increase in spending, specifically for K-3 education, the state Supreme Court wasn’t impressed at the end of last year’s legislative session.

It said lawmakers had failed to show a detailed plan for how they plan to meet a 2018 deadline to fix education funding and remove the onus from local school levies to provide a significant portion of support for basic education.

Many lawmakers, including Republicans in the Senate, say they need more time and more data from school districts and others to draft such a solution, work that they want to tackle in 2017. The Legislature made modest progress during a record 176-day session last year; they’re not likely to settle on a fix in 60 days.

The problem, aside from the court’s $100,000-day fine that now weighs in a $14 million, is that many school districts are facing a “levy cliff.” Most school districts, which have come to rely upon levy funds to help pay teachers, will see a reduction in how much they can collect in local levies, a reduction that was scheduled in anticipation of the Legislature fixing the problem. Even if lawmakers meet their 2018 deadline, school districts must begin planning budget cuts this year so they can send out pink slips to teachers and other staff in 2017.

Lawmakers should push out the effective date of the “cliff” and not make school districts pay for the additional time legislators say they need.

Charter schools: There are now two proposals for making the voter-approved charter school system compliant with another state Supreme Court decision that said charter schools weren’t eligible for state funding because they weren’t subject to voter oversight through a school district board. One plan would put the charter schools under school district board authority. A second would fund the schools with revenue from the state’s lottery program. The former

appears to more closely meet the court’s requirement for public accountability.

Mental health: Gov. Jay Inslee’s supplemental budget provides funding to bolster the state’s mental health system and add staffing of nurses, psychiatrists and others at Western State Hospital, which is under federal court order to more timely provide competency screenings for mentally ill defendants. Federal agencies are threatening to pull their funding because of poor care, and Kevin Quigley, the head of the Department of Social and Health Services has announced his departure.

The Legislature’s attention is needed here even more than on the error that allowed the early release of state inmates who were not eligible for shortened sentences for “good time.”

Transportation: The passage of a 16-year, $16.2 billion transportation package — and a gas tax increase to pay for it — was a major accomplishment last year. Officials with the Snohomish County Cities association were also pleased with the $670 million set aside for projects in the county.

But much of the spending is spread out over the next 16 years. The cities hope to win

legislative approval for some flexibility in shifting money among projects so planning and other preparatory work can begin on specific projects.

One project would, as is done on the U.S. 2 trestle east of Everett, allow peak-time traffic on I-5 to drive on the shoulder between Everett and Marysville, a major choke point.

Everett is joining the county and its other cities in seeking $3 million in the supplemental budget for design and early planning work for renovating and strengthening the U.S. 2 trestle. Money for that project dropped off the transportation budget last year, but area lawmakers advised local officials to bring it back this year for consideration.

Gun safety: Lawmakers should pass legislation that has been waiting for a vote for three years that would require firearms accessible to children under 16 be secured in a locked box, with a trigger lock or other method of secure storage.

As important as campaign fundraising is to legislators, they also count on a record of success in passing legislation and budgets and finding solutions. Action on these issues and others will mean something to voters.

they will, we want to be in a standard position, simple and predictable.

This is an opportunity for the Washington Legislature to show that it can work together and make a decision in a timely manner for the good of the people. This should be an easy decision, with no need for contentious arguments, as it doesn’t take away from any other program or require raising taxes. If there is an argument about having a predictable time to change the batteries on our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, there is an easy solution: Have one of the Seahawks tell the public over the television to change their batteries, and it will happen.

carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will benefit mankind because plants will use it to produce more oxygen.

In theory this is true. As we approach 9 billion people on earth by the middle of this century, will there be enough plants on earth considering the urbanization and deforestation taking place? The vast majority of scientists who study climate change or related fields agree that the planet is getting warmer. Yes, it is true that there is disagreement on how much human activity plays a part in this, and how much humans can do to stop it. We don’t need deniers like Mr. Rash. We need problem solvers. The poor will suffer the most, and only the rich will be able to “enjoy the ride,” as Mr. Rash puts it in his commentary.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■CLIMATE CHANGE

Humanity can, should do a lot Regarding the guest commentary, “There are no climate deniers, only skeptics of doomsayers” by David. W. Rash: He states that no one truly denies that the climate is changing; the current global warming trend may not be anthropogenic; carbon dioxide levels on the planet have, in the past, likely been much higher than even today; and many of the most influential factors in global climate may lie outside of our ability to control.

His conclusion is “nature abides and there is little humanity can or should do about it but enjoy the ride.”

However, he misses the point: Humanity will not enjoy the ride if it continues to using polluting industry and technology for short-term advantage at the price of long-term prosperity. Consider, for example, the recent headline in this newspaper which described the dreadful air quality of Beijing, China, and the difficulties it poses to school children in particular.

Nature may indeed abide, but humanity may not, at least not in good health.

Not all routes treated equally Regarding the Jan. 8 letter, “Day late paper worth the wait”: I’m pleased The Herald gave good enough service to some of your subscribers by sending the Sunday missing sections on Monday. Enough so that you got an atta-boy to print in the Opinion section on Friday.

However, my building’s subscribers (1131 Rainier Avenue, Everett) at least were shown none of that service. As far as I know, no one here got those sections.

Also, in a building of senior citizens, it is now not clear where each paper should go, since our apartment numbers are now scrawled across the front page instead of having labels.

State should ban ‘daylight saving’ As the Legislature reconvenes, I urge our legislators to unanimously pass a bill abolishing daylight saving time.

The health and safety components have been well argued, the inconvenience of changing the clocks twice a year has been well-experienced, and the time to stop “messing with the clocks” has come.

Keep it simple. Remember that we are talking only of a number on a clock. Contrary to some beliefs, DST does not increase the amount of sunlight in any given 24-hour period.

When other states around us begin to abolish DST, as

■■SEAHAWKS

Perhaps David Rash is an excellent librarian. I hope so because his guest commentary about climate change in the Jan. 9 Herald casts doubt on his abilities as an historian.

For example, he places much emphasis on the opinion of Nobel Prize winning scientist, Ivar Giaever. Mr. Rash neglects to mention that Giaever is a physicist, not a climatologist, and that Giaever himself said that he knows little about the climate. Having left out this information, I am inclined to doubt the “legions of other scientists akin to Giaever,” to whom Mr. Rash refers.

Marshawn Lynch is the biggest loser the Seahawks have ever signed. He practices all this past week and then says he can’t play in Minnesota and doesn’t even travel with the team to lend support.

He is a spoiled brat and doesn’t deserve the multimillion bucks he’s getting for doing nothing. He has no interests but his own, so let’s get someone who will contribute and be a team player.

Trump could be a problem for Democrats

F

or Democrats who might be rooting for Donald Trump, thinking he would be easy to beat in November, I have some advice: Be careful what you wish for.

In his campaign, or rampage, Trump has done more than take a sledgehammer to the Republican Party.

He almost seems to be reinventing politics in a way that makes both major parEUGENE ROBINSON ties seem hidebound, sluggish and concerned mostly with selfperpetuation — which, in fact, they are.

When he announced his candidacy, no one outside of Trump’s household dreamed he would be dominating the Republican field with three weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses. Given the way he has set the agenda for the campaign, it’s tempting to call him a master strategist — except I don’t believe he has a strategy.

Or needs one.

Instead, Trump is guided by instinct.

The whole campaign has been like his stream-of-consciousness Twitter feed or his improvisational jazz-riff campaign speeches. He tests a new theme and gauges the response. If it’s working, he pushes harder; if not, he moves on. Kick out the illegal immigrants and build a wall on the border. Bar Muslims from entry because they might be terrorists. Abolish gun-free zones, even in schools.

Many of Trump’s positions are abhorrent. Many are inconsistent with traditional American values, Republican Party dogma, various articles of the Constitution and Trump’s own views in the past. But substance is, in a way, less important than style. Trump couldn’t possibly do half of what he promises, and probably doesn’t really want to do much of the rest.

The important thing is that Trump, by being transgressive in the way he speaks, gives listeners the license to be transgressive in the way they think. When he rails against “political correctness,” he’s talking about the manners and courtesies that many of us would call being “civil.” But his in-your-face bullying strikes a chord with the large segment of the Republican electorate that is tired of being polite: middle-class, non-college-educated white voters who have not prospered over the last two decades and see demographic change as a threat.

Trump was quick to understand how angry the Republican base is with the party establishment. Vote for us, GOP leaders said, and we’ll stop illegal immigration, repeal the Affordable Care Act, slash spending to the bone, reduce the long-term federal debt and basically stop everything President Obama is trying to do. They failed to deliver — and now someone is calling them on it.

For Trump, saying outrageous things that would end any other politician’s campaign or career is no risk. On the contrary, it’s a necessity. His appeal to primary voters involves a bald-faced appeal to racial and ethnic animus; he gives his supporters permission to bemoan the fact that “they” — Mexicans and Muslims, primarily, but also African-Americans and uppity women — are changing the nation.

The other candidate touching a nerve with the cultural and economic leftbehinds — minus the racism — is Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, who is also kind of an un-politician.

This is a bad year to rule anything out, so maybe Sanders will win both Iowa and New Hampshire and go on to seriously challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. But if he falls short, the eventual GOP nominee will face a formidable and experienced politician who cannot possibly run as anti-establishment.

If the Republican nominee is Trump, do you believe for a minute he would consider himself bound by the things he said during the primaries? I don’t.

Trump can hardly back away from his categorical pledge on immigration — to expel 11 million undocumented migrants and build a wall along the border with Mexico — so maybe that would energize Latino voters in support of Clinton. But he would do everything possible to lower passions among other loyal Democrats — while stoking them among the new “take back the country” voters he hopes to turn out.

How disgusted is the country with traditional politics and politicians? Democrats had better explore that question — or be surprised by the answer.

Fryberg said he is needed at home to shepherd his surviving children and grandchildren.

“We do our best, all of us, to gather our young ones and our families and keep them together and at times pretend to be strong. I’m sorry for what my son did,” he said.

Prosecutors had sought the maximum time allowed by law, just short of three years. They described Fryberg as someone with no regard for the law. They noted that other women have accused him of violence.

Browne described Fryberg as a family man devoted to helping young people on the reservation, a man grieving and focused on keeping his family together despite tremendous loss and endless scrutiny.

for temporary shelter for displaced residents and first responders and asked public works staff for assistance in increasing water pressure at the scene and providing sand to combat the icy conditions.

Gordon also reportedly worked with the police department to secure the scene and keep onlookers away from the danger.

“Chief Gordon assumed command of the incident at approximately 9 p.m. to allow the battalion chiefs to focus on operations and the work of suppressing the fire,” Pembroke said. “By 9:30 p.m. the fire was more

Ye-Ting Woo argued that if Fryberg had not broken gun laws, “these families would not have lost their children, or have a child with deep psychological and emotional scars.”

The judge also declined a request from the defense to exclude letters from the victims’ families being considered at sentencing.

Lahneen Fryberg is the mother of Andrew Fryberg, who was 15 years old when he was killed. She wanted an apology, she said.

“This defendant and his family make it perfectly clear we are not part of the family,” she said. “We are broken as a family. We are incomplete.”

Denise Hatch, the mother of Nate Hatch, who survived a gunshot wound to the jaw, told the court that in the 15 months since the shootings Raymond Fryberg has not apologized, and that lack of apology has divided the Tulalip

under control and the battalion chief again assumed command of the overall incident.”

At that point, Gordon reportedly volunteered to buy food for the firefighters and people who lost their homes, “which he frequently does at fires,” Pembroke said.

Gordon said he is looking forward to resolving the complaint.

Gordon has been with the Everett Fire Department since 1977. During that time, he has been a firefighter, paramedic, captain, deputy chief of emergency medical services and assistant chief.

He was appointed fire chief in 2001.

community. Nate deserved an apology, she said.

Browne told the judge the letters from the victims’ families came from a place of “animosity and hysteria, some of it understandable.”

He said Raymond Fryberg wanted to apologize but was told to stay away. He also cited a civil claim filed last week by the families, seeking up to $110 million in damages from the Marysville School District and Fryberg.

Robart interrupted both Browne and Fryberg in court to ask about the protection order and the forms Fryberg completed to buy firearms. The judge said it seemed as if Fryberg “isn’t willing to accept” his status as someone not allowed to have guns. When asked about restrictions while buying guns, Fryberg “nonetheless checked no, no, no, multiple times,” the judge said.

“Your client’s conduct was, apparently, he didn’t feel he was subject to a protection order,” the judge said. “I am troubled by that.”

More than a month later, his body still is at the medical examiner’s office.

Since the death, Lois has felt frozen.

On Christmas Eve, three Lynnwood police officers arrived at the door. One was Mark Brinkman, the president of the union.

The officers knew Lois was having a hard time.

They gave her a Christmas card, and a check from the union’s benevolence fund.

The generosity didn’t stop there.

“They have been extremely kind to me,” she said. “They’ve come by multiple times to check

Robart also said he took into consideration that Fryberg bought guns between 2012 and 2014, when he wasn’t paying fines ordered

by Tulalip Tribal Court. That was “a sign of disrespect for the tribal legal system,” the judge said. The high school shooting was not mentioned during trial, and was not part of the sentencing decision, Robart said.

Before ending the hearing Monday, Robart urged tribal members in the audience to open the lines of communication and come together to heal. He noted how the victims’ families and the supporters of Raymond Fryberg kept their distance in the courtroom, sitting on opposite sides throughout the trial.

That divide “has to end,” Robart said.

In a government press conference held after the hearing, U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes said the “strong sentence” will hold Fryberg accountable.

“He is without question being held responsible for

on me.”

The union then set up a bank account for community donations. People can give to the “Lois Wood Charity Account” at any Heritage Bank.

Lois never asked for the help. The benevolence fund most often is used for injured officers, but her need was obvious, Brinkman said.

“It struck a chord because we were directly involved in investigating the accident,” he said.

The driver, a 27-yearold woman, has not been cited. Detectives expect to forward their case to prosecutors for review in a couple of weeks.

Ken Elgin, owner of Zipline Junky, rides along his 470-foot zipline behind the Everett Mall near Regal Cinemas on Saturday. The $10 zipline is open to the public from 2 to 9 p.m. weekdays and noon to 9 p.m. on weekends except during inclement weather such as heavy rain and wind.

ZIP-A-DEE-YAHOO

Zipline Junky’s 470-foot thrill ride in Everett a blast for the brave

N

o need to go to the jungle or Vegas to get a zipline fix.

Just make a beeline to the mall and squeeze it into your next shopping trip.

Zipline Junky recently set up at the edge of the parking lot behind Everett Mall, a stone’s throw from a housing complex and over a drainage pond.

What’s up with that?

It’s the creation of Ken Elgin, 47, owner of the Kirkland-based company that designs and erects ziplines.

He opened the Everett zipline in November for wintertime recreation and plans to keep it there at least until summer.

The zipline is 42 feet high and 470 feet long.

For $10, you can soar over the ducks in the pond and land near the entrance of T.J. Maxx.

Sign a waiver, harness up, climb the stairs of the steel tower and have a quick thrill. Or two.

“It’s like potato chips. Once you do this once you’ve got to do it again,” Elgin said.

Those who weigh at least 40 pounds and no more than 250 pounds can take a zip.

“We’ve had ages 3 to 80. As long as someone can get up the stairs with our assistance,” Elgin said.

“Fathers-sons, that’s a big thing to do. A lot of bucket list people. Couples come over here after date night at the movies.

We’ve had couples who emailed us saying, ‘This was our first date and now we’re in a relationship.’”

Two people can go at the same time on separate wires.

There are three trolley speed settings.

The average rate is 25 to 27 miles an hour, Elgin said. “You pick up maximum velocity about halfway through the pond.

You’re flying, then you start to slow down.”

He said many zip riders are first-timers.

“I’ve had people chicken out,” Elgin said. “I used to do rock climbing instruction so I learned some techniques. I can get 80 to 90 percent to do it. There’s always that 10 percent.”

It’s not who you might think.

Elgin told me about the guy who had a tattoo that said “Adventure” on his hand. Took him three different times before he got the nerve to step off the platform.

The platform is higher than it looks from the ground. Climbing

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 the steep stairs made me squirm. I stood at the top, stared out at the skinny cable wires traversing the vast horizon and thought, “What crazy fool would do this?”

I cowardly crept back down the stairs, despite Elgin’s pep talk.

Back at the newsroom, my colleagues scolded me for being such a wuss. Maybe so, but I couldn’t get anybody to step up to the plate in my place by deadline.

So I went across the hall and recruited a Frontier Communications worker, Jim Corwin. He brought his two sons: Brayden, 14, who wasn’t so sure he wanted to do it, and Branson, 20, who isn’t fond of heights.

Corwin wasn’t exactly keen on trying it.

I wasn’t sure this story would ever get off the ground.

Elgin suited us up in full harnesses that secured our legs and arms between straps. There was no wimping out now.

On the platform, we were hooked into bright yellow lanyards dangling from the cable trolley. We bounced to test the tension of the straps. It was like being tethered in one of those doorway jumper things for babies; now I see why they chortle with delight.

Elgin zipped across the line to the other end while his assistant manned the starting gate waiting for his OK signal. It’s not like an automated fair ride. It’s very hands-on.

By then, Corwin’s sons were fired up. They bravely went first, arms outstretched as they glided into the sunset, their happy antics reflected in the water

Less than a minute later, they were on the ground.

Corwin looked relieved.

Then it was our turn.

I looked down at the concrete 42 feet below, held my breath and forced myself to step off the platform, fully expecting to plunge to my death.

Instead the trolley pulled me forward, smoothly and gracefully, across the horizon and over the pond.

It was an absolute blast.

Elgin was spot-on about that potato chip comparison. Once wasn’t enough.

We did it twice.

I can’t wait to go again.

Char, you are retired from the Everett School District?

For 28 years, I taught reading, writing, and world history, retiring last year as a sixth grade block teacher at Eisenhower Middle School.

So is 60 the new 30? Talk about life in retirement and passions that don’t go away.

For years, I worked to inspire young writers to chase their dreams, but always in the back of my mind was the gnawing thought that my own creative life was crammed into odd moments on weekends and a few months in the summer. During a one-year sabbatical, however, I co-wrote a full-length musical. That experience in my late 40s made me realize I still had something to say.

I did not want to be on my death bed with hundreds of unwritten songs on my heart. From that fear, and with nudging from my husband and fellow musician, Tim, came the drive to revive my songwriting and performing career with him at my side. Our acoustic duo, Windfall, recorded the first album in our basement just four months after Tim had heart surgery. Being a performer at age 30 was full of the adventure of “living the dream.” The hardest thing to overcome at 62 was that it seemed like it would be a difficult sell.

However, we have been welcomed into the songwriting community and found venues supportive of our work.

How old were you when you started writing songs?

My mother never forgave my father for buying me a guitar when she needed a washing machine. But that guitar allowed me freedom from circumstances beyond my control. At 15, I started performing at military bases in California and Germany, and in that process began writing songs.

As a younger writer, my songs were focused on my own experiences. When I worked full time as a musician prior to teaching, I was trying to write “marketable” country music. Having my own children influenced my music because I began to change my priorities and become more otherfocused. Now, nearly all of my music comes from real life stories of people I meet or from stories I read. The latest one I wrote was inspired by a TED talk from a woman who works with Syrian refugees. It’s called “On The Shores of Italy.”

How did you and Tim meet?

We met in 1977 when we both put ads up at the Musician’s Union in downtown Seattle.

We had instant connection as musicians, but I moved away to Colorado. Eight years later he stopped by Denver on his way to a golf tournament. When he got off the plane, neither of us could remember what the other looked like. But after a romantic proposal at Taco Bell three months later,

Best for woman to end relationship

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: There is a man in my life whom I have developed strong feelings for. I expressed these feelings last week. He expressed the same feelings back but said that his life was too complicated for us to be anything more than friends.

His situation is that his exgirlfriend informed him she was pregnant after they broke up. They got back together for the sake of the child and have had a rocky relationship ever since. The child is now 2.

I want to have a conversation with him where I say, out loud, that he would still be a good man, person and father even if he wasn’t with the mother of his child, because I think that is where he is hung up.

Am I the wrong person to be saying this since I have expressed personal feelings of my own? I do care about him and want him to be happy no matter what he chooses.

— To say or not to say?

Yes, you are the wrong person to be saying this, because you have an ulterior motive in polishing up the moral implications of his leaving the mother of his child.

In fact, you need to remove

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT yourself from this man’s life completely, or at least as much as your living/family/work situation allows. To remain on the scene with your professed interest in him while he tries to make a rocky relationship work is fundamentally predatory.

He has to do what he has to do, and let his relationship succeed or fail on its own merits. If it falls apart and if you’re right for him, then he’ll know where to find you.

Trusting this and leaving him alone are the two steps that would prove his happiness is your primary goal.

Dear Carolyn: My elderly father is probably going to die soon. He had a massive stroke two years ago and his life since has been a misery for him and my family, so it will be a

mixture of grief and relief.

How do I tell my friends and co-workers that I would prefer they not attend the funeral? They would go only out of respect for me (none of my local friends has ever met him), but I would rather sit in an empty room than have to acknowledge the condolences of a bunch of well-meaning people.

I’ve spent two years taking the emotional weight for my father’s illness and the idea of having to smile and thank people and murmur about it being for the best makes me want to scream. I have happily attended weddings and respectfully attended funerals. I just don’t want to be the one at the front of the room.

— Anonymous I’m sorry for the hell you and your family have been through.

Yes, you can make your wishes clear that you don’t want anyone to come to the funeral. Best practice is to notify one person in your workplace and one person among your friends to serve as your spokesperson: “The services are private.”

You can approach this person now or when the time comes, whatever feels appropriate, though saying it now might help cross this particular worry off your list.

Oral hygiene issues disruptive to family Dear Abby: My husband has developed a bad case of periodontal disease. I’m afraid to kiss him because I don’t want the bacteria causing the disease to spread and his bad breath is unbearable. Our sex life is suffering because of it.

We have two beautiful children together, and I love him very much — even if he loses all his teeth at the age of 37. I have explained how extremely important oral hygiene is to overall health and how his unwillingness to deal with this sends the wrong message to our kids. He simply refuses or conveniently “forgets.” When I asked him why, he said his mother traumatized him about it as a child.

My children are starting to take notice now. My daughter doesn’t want to go near him, and my son thinks it’s OK to not brush his teeth because his father doesn’t. As you can see, this is disrupting our family. — Wit’s End In Florida Dear Wit’s End: That your son is modeling his behavior after his father is terrible.

There are psychologists who help patients overcome phobias and dentists who specialize in patients with your husband’s problem. If necessary, dental work can be done under complete sedation.

If your husband would be willing to listen to your family doctor or the children’s pediatrician, perhaps one of them can get through to him the importance of conquering his fear before it causes lasting damage to the next generation.

Dear Abby: I recently began a relationship with a wonderful man I’ll call “Edward.” He’s smart, successful, sweet and has a wonderful sense of humor.

I adore him and can see myself spending many happy years, if not forever, with him. The problem is my parents. I’m 24 and a recent college graduate. I have a good job and have been living independently since I was 19. Edward is 31, divorced and has two kids (ages 5 and 8).

Because of his kids and marital status, my parents refuse to even meet him.

They claim I’m making a terrible mistake being involved with someone with so much “baggage.”

I am very close to my parents, and their reaction is hurtful. This is the happiest I have been in a long time in a relationship.

Neither Edward’s kids nor the fact that he’s divorced is an issue for me. I’ve met his children and enjoy spending time with them.

Do you think my parents’ reaction is fair? Do you think in time they’ll come around? — Bittersweet Love In Michigan Dear Bittersweet: Whether your parents’ reaction is fair or not is beside the point. Their feelings are their feelings. The relationship you have with Edward is new, and where it may lead is anybody’s guess. If it lasts, your parents may come around. But as an adult, the choice of whom you date or will one day marry should be yours and no one else’s.

DAVID BOWIE: 1947-2016

He never stopped looking ahead

By David Bauder Associated Press

It was hardly a coincidence that David Bowie named his greatest hits collection “Changes.”

Bowie changed musical styles, fashion, even his name — he was born David Jones — in a relentless exploration of the artistic muse.

More than any one sound or song, that shark-like ability to keep moving forward defined him.

Even his exit was an artistic statement. He released a striking video last week for his new song, “Lazarus,” that depicts him in an institutional bed, his eyes covered in gauze.

“Look up here, I’m in heaven,” he sings in the song’s opening. A thin Bowie also appears dressed in a bodysuit that seems left over from the “Ziggy Stardust” years, retreating to a closet at the song’s end. The song, like the elegaic “Where Are We Now?” from 2013, has him confronting issues of mortality in haunting fashion.

We just never knew how close the end was. When it came Sunday, Bowie had long since retreated from public view after a reported heart attack in the mid-2000s. He’d released no new music for a decade before 2013 and the subsequent “Blackstar,” released Friday. He gave no interviews in his last decade, and kept his 18-month cancer fight private.

Bowie quite literally seemed from another world in his early years. “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mars” was a concept album about an alien bisexual rock star.

With his makeup and orange hair, Bowie participated fully in an era of excess. The splendid songs poured out in the 1970s: “Changes,” “Starman,” “Suffragette City,” “Jean Genie,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Young Americans.” He wrote Mott the Hoople’s best-known song, “All the Young Dudes.”

The bodysuit ultimately proved confining. Bowie wasn’t the first artist to make stylistic shifts, but few did it with such aplomb. He delved into blue-eyed soul with his John Lennon collaboration, “Fame.” He moved to Berlin to explore a minimal, industrial sound with collaborator Brian Eno. And in the mid-1980s era of

Big Albums, Bowie appeared in a smart suit with the invitation, “Let’s Dance.”

That album, which also included the hits “Modern Love” and “China Girl,” really marked the end of his mainstream success. Bowie kept moving, even if not all his explorations were rewarding; his 1990s band Tin Machine produced some unlistenable noise. The restlessness left him with a conflicted relationship with his old hits. He vowed to retire them after the 1990 “Sound and Vision” tour, but didn’t stick to that and performed them with grace and enthusiasm on tour a decade later.

He was soft-spoken with a very British politeness in our only

meeting, a 2002 interview where he allowed himself a brief flash of pride.

“What I’m most proud of is that I can’t help but notice that I’ve affected the vocabulary of pop music,” he said then. “For me, frankly, as an artist, that’s the most satisfying thing for the ego.”

Everyone touched by Bowie’s music takes their own moment of inspiration. Personally, two recordings from 1977 will always stick out. One was Bowie’s duet with Bing Crosby, made for a television special filmed just five weeks before Crosby’s death.

Crosby sang “The Little Drummer Boy,” while Bowie sang “Peace on Earth” in counterpoint.

The culture clash made it an immediate classic — the World War II era crooner with one of rock’s wildest personalities. It was hard to imagine them in the same room, let alone standing around a piano. Yet neither man looked down upon the other. Its beauty made the collaboration last, and it is heard every December.

That same fall, Bowie released “Heroes” from his sessions with Eno. The song starts quietly, Bowie singing over a droning, repetitive guitar figure, building gradually in intensity as his voice rises and he sings of a memorable but brief love affair. It’s a moment of majesty that never fails provoke chills.

“We can be heroes,” he sings, “just for one day.”

David Bowie had more than a day.

BOWIE’S FIVE BEST ALBUMS David Bowie created such a vast body of work in his career that it’s difficult to narrow his best and most noteworthy albums down to five (or even 10).

And though they’re not making the list, it needs to be noted that the last two albums Bowie released in his lifetime, “The Next Day,” which came out in 2012, and “Blackstar” which was released just last Friday, on

the singer’s 69th birthday, just days before his death, showed he was working on an exceedingly high, restlessly creative level.

So here goes: “Station to Station” (1975): Recorded in Los Angeles at the height of mid-1970s decadence, this cocaine-fueled masterwork included two big FM radio hits in “Golden Years” and “TVC 15” and introduced

CUSTOM FRAMING

Bowie’s creepily detached “Thin White Duke” persona. Brian Eno, who would work with Bowie on the “Berlin trilogy” of albums that “Station to Station” pointed ahead to, called it “one of the great records of all time.”

“The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars” (1972): A concept album about a bisexual alien superstar, it built on the success of the previous year’s “Hunky Dory,” which gave the world “Changes,” the anthem to reinvention that clued rock fans in that with Bowie, they should locally owned and operated

“Heroes” (1977): The middle child of the Berlin trilogy — and only one recorded entirely in the then divided German capitol — “Heroes” finds Bowie and Eno’s collaboration going full throttle. The album combines the dark, experimentalism of Low with a more commercial sensibility, producing one of Bowie’s most enduring hits with the title track.

we married and spent our first half year of marriage separated until I moved to Seattle with my kids.

Talk about “If It Were Your Kid” and what inspired that song.

I have always been troubled by human trafficking. In researching the topic, I became aware that our area was a hot spot for sex trafficking, which directly impacts kids who are often forced into prostitution. I figured the only way that men could commit these types of sex crimes would be if they did not picture these children as someone who might be their own kid. We first performed the song for a church service on Freedom Sunday, which seeks to draw attention to human trafficking.

It’s been an interesting evolution. Our first album — “Prayers of the Blue and Gray” — was inspired by a visit to Civil War sites.

The stories haunted me,

and some were written as I walked the cemeteries.

Our second album “Life Happens” is filled with songs inspired by people I encountered in my daily life.

On “Best Days of My Life” the music was described by a recent listener as our most social-justice focused album. Over the years, I have been involved in prison ministry as well as working with people transitioning out of homelessness.

As my life has settled down, my heart has been able to look at issues of concern in the world and try to give them a human face and story. My hope is that the songs will point to our common human struggles as well as the hope and grace that help us get through.

Talk about the British songwriting contests you’ve entered two years running.

The website says, “The UK Songwriting Contest is one of the world’s longestrunning songwriting events and is widely regarded as the most prestigious international songwriting competition. It launched in London in 2000... and it is well known in the music industry as a launching pad for new talent.”

I entered this contest

to get outside comments because I knew even though mom loved my music, she was, after all, my mom. I wondered if my work would stand up to professional scrutiny. I also entered because many fans of our folk music come from internet radio airplay in the United Kingdom and Canada. Seven of the 10 songs on our latest album received semi-finalist status, as well as a couple of love songs from previous albums and a new Christmas song, which also received radio airplay on Women of Substance Radio and Podcasts. I was also named a semi-finalist as a singer/songwriter.

What are some of your other interests?

I love adventures and road trips. Because it is our 30th year of marriage, my brother and his wife are treating us to a week-long white water rafting trip in Idaho. And I do plan to swim with sharks again. For some reason, facing fears has always intrigued me.

What’s something that’s always in your fridge?

Probably a full week’s worth of some chili or soup.

It’s our cost-saving retirement meal plan.

What is your pet peeve?

Trolls on Facebook who insist on trying to turn any statement of positivity into an argument.

What is your greatest happiness?

Spending time with my grandkids and learning and growing with my husband and best friend, Tim. If you could choose anyone from history to dine with, who would that be and why?

Henry David Thoreau. As a young person growing up, his writings gave me permission to be who I was and not follow the crowd. Also, his appreciation of nature resonated with my love of the outdoors.

What is something most people do not know about you?

When playing in a country rock band in Colorado, I was made an honorary member of an outlaw biker gang for trying to prevent a fight in an alley involving a biker and a cowboy. I do not recommend this tactic, but it makes a great story to tell my grandkids to illuminate the expression, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”

— Gale Fiege

Golden Globes 2016: Six things you probably missed 1) Under-the-radar TV shows dominated: Ever heard of “Mr. Robot”?

“Mozart in the Jungle”?

“Show Me a Hero”?

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”?

Clearly they’re favorites of Globes voters. USA’s tech thriller “Mr. Robot” scored a best drama win over monster hits “Game of Thrones” and “Empire,” and star Christian Slater netted a best TV supporting actor trophy.

2) “Spotlight” got shut out: The drama was considered the frontrunner for best dramatic picture for its understated portrayal of how the Boston Globe uncovered the priest sex scandal within the Catholic Church. And yet ... the movie got no love. Instead, “The Revenant” dominated, taking home best director, best picture and best actor, for Leonardo DiCaprio.

3) Sylvester Stallone’s acceptance speech faux pas: Sly got visibly emotional when he was named best supporting actor in a motion picture for his role in “Creed,” so much so that he forgot

to thank ... well, anyone from the movie. Apparently after the show cut to commercial, Stallone rushed back to the microphone to thank Coogler, the cast and his co-star Michael B. Jordan.

4) Leonardo DiCaprio’s reaction to Lady Gaga: The most Vine-able moment of the night, for sure, was when Gaga confidently walked by Leo to pick up her best TV supporting actress trophy for “American Horror Story,” and he got unnecessarily freaked out when she bumped his elbow.

5) “The Big Short” gained steam, then petered out: The financial crisis comedy (or “comedy”) seemed to be one of the darlings of the Hollywood Foreign Press, scoring a surprising four nominations.

But the movie took home no prizes. At least the nominations ensured that Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell would appear as presenters.

6) Brad Pitt might be aging in reverse.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Alabama 45, Clemson 40

Tide rolls to title

DAVID J. PHILLIP / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alabama’s Derrick Henry, the Heisman Trophy winner, does the Heisman pose after rushing for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Monday’s national championship game against Clemson.

No. 2 Alabama won its fourth national title in the past seven seasons

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Alabama needed it all to win the toughest national title game it had ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty. All of its power. All of its speed.

Even one gutsy trick.

Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with long touchdowns, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat

quarterback Deshaun Watson to win the College Football Playoff championship 45-40 on Monday night.

The Crimson Tide (14-1) won its three previous championship game appearances in runaway fashion. This game was an instant classic — a welcome relief for fans who sat through the blowouts that turned the New Year’s Six lineup into a dud. It finally turned on maybe the boldest call of Saban’s career.

“This was a great challenge for

us,” Saban said.

With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game with a short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball away from Watson and the Tigers. He called for a popup onside kick that Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey caught over the shoulder at midfield.

Tide ball.

“I think that changed the momentum of the game, and our guys finished it,” Saban said.

Moments later, Alabama took back the lead. For the second time, Clemson (14-1) lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45 left.

Clemson and Watson proved to be every bit Alabama’s equal. The Tigers just kept coming.

Watson led Clemson to a field goal to make it 31-27, and boom!

Prep wrestlers to face Japanese

By Nick Patterson RENTON — It all began with 88-year-old former Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant walking to the middle of TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis in a purple short-sleeved polo shirt — in minus-6 degree temperatures.

Just about everything in the Seattle Seahawks’ 10-9 wild-card playoff victory over the Vikings on Sunday was unique, and Seattle head coach Pete Carroll was reveling in that uniqueness the day after.

“Seeing Bud out there early in the shirt-sleeves thing and everything, that was a great start to the game,” Carroll, who was an assistant coach under Grant with the Vikings in 1985, said Monday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “There was just something about this game that made it really special. It was a unique opportunity all the way through to the very end of it.”

Perhaps the most unique aspect of the game was the weather. The minus-6 degrees at kickoff tied the record for the third-coldest playoff game in NFL history.

return touchdown, diving the last 5 yards to the pylon.

Watson threw his third touchdown pass to make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman Trophy winner. Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to make it 45-33 with 1:07 to play.

Silvertips turn into road warriors

By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer

EVERETT — Playing three games in three nights is a challenge in and of itself, but playing three road games in three nights?

It was a task the Everett Silvertips completed Sunday night in Spokane with impressive results as they escaped the weekend by earning five out of a possible six points in the standings.

U.S. Division-leading Everett (24-12-1-2, 51 points) wrapped up the stretch by gutting out a 3-1 victory over the Spokane Chiefs on Sunday.

“In terms of what they accomplished — to be on the lower energy side of yourself as an athlete and still figure out a way to get something done — I thought (Sunday) was the most impressive,” head coach Kevin Constantine said.

Everett left for Kelowna Thursday after a morning practice and defeated the Western Conference-leading Rockets 3-2 in overtime on Friday. The Tips spent Friday night in Abbotsford, B.C., in an attempt to get as normal of a night’s sleep as possible, then went straight to Kent, where they fell 3-2 to the Thunderbirds in overtime on Saturday.

The bus then immediately left for Spokane where the Tips never trailed in a decisive victory over the Chiefs. “(Spokane has) really tortured us in that building over the years,” Constantine said. “So any way you can find to do it is good, and to do it with three games in three nights is really a credit to the players. They did what they could do with the energy they had left and it was good to get a win.”

All told, the Tips traveled about 1,200 miles to play three road games in a roughly 49-hour span.

The reward? One day off and then a home match-up Tuesday at 7 p.m. against the Regina Pats.

Unsung heroes The Silvertips received goals from their third and fourth lines, and a two-point performance from defenseman Tristen Pfeifer in Sunday’s win.

“It’s important to have scoring from all our lines, especially depthwise, but I just tried to get my shots through and see what happens,” Pfeifer said. “Scoring is really not my job, but when it happens I’m pretty excited about it.”

Third-line center Dario Winkler opened the scoring with an assist from Pfeifer, and fourth-line winger Brandon Ralph scored a second pe-

riod goal before Pfeifer capped the scoring in the third.

“Any time you have three (games) in three (nights) there’s a lot of exhaustion,” Pfeifer said. “It comes down to guys who maybe don’t play as much and maybe don’t score as much to do what they can do.”

Pats in town The Regina Pats (18-18-3-3, 41 points) routed Spokane 7-2 on Saturday night. The Pats enter Tuesday night’s game in playoff position as they occupy the seventh slot in the Eastern Conference.

Adam Brooks (23 goals, 42 assists), Sam Steel (15 goals, 27 assists) and Austin Wagner (17 goals, 21 assists) are Regina’s top point producers. The Pats added overager Cole Sanford (21 goals, 17 assists) at the WHL trade deadline for scoring depth.

Tyler Brown (7-12-1-3, 3.26 goals against average, .906 save percentage) has appeared in 25 games at goaltender for the Pats.

Tonight’s game is the second on Regina’s six-game road trip that includes games against all the U.S. Division teams.

There were nine trades completed Sunday prior to the 11 a.m. deadline, and Sanford was the biggest name moved. He reportedly asked the Medicine Hat Tigers for a trade in November and sat out last weekend’s games until the Tigers accommodated his wish.

The other big move was one that wasn’t made as the Moose Jaw Warriors chose to hang on to Brayden Point. A third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Point (19 goals, 28 assists) was leading the WHL in scoring before suffering a shoulder injury in mid-November and missing Moose Jaw’s next 19 contests.

Perhaps the biggest move in the U.S. Division was made when the TBirds acquired overage goaltender Landon Bow on Tuesday from Swift Current. Bow earned the victory in Seattle’s 3-2 overtime win over Everett Saturday night.

Bow, Helewka honored A pair of recently traded players wasted no time making an impact for their new teams as Adam Helewka of Red Deer was named the WHL Player of the Week and Bow was the WHL nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week.

Helewka, recently acquired from Spokane, scored six goals with two assists in four games with the Rebels.

Bow is unbeaten as a T-Bird with a 1.49 goals against average and a .946 save percentage those two games.

Cardinals’ Wainwright wins Hutch Award

Martin, Sardinas surging

The News Tribune

Two of the Seattle Mariners’ off-season acquisitions are on a postseason tear in the Caribbean.

Center fielder Leonys Martin is batting .341 (14for-41) with a .481 on-base percentage through 12 postseason games for Licey in the Dominican Winter League. He joined Licey just one game prior to the playoffs.

Infielder Luis Sardinas is batting .571 (16-for-28) with a .613 on-base percentage in six postseason games for La Guaira in the Venezuelan Winter League. He batted .314 for the Tiburones (Sharks) in the regular season.

Martin projects as the Mariners’ regular center fielder, while Sardinas will compete for duty as a utility infielder.

The Mariners acquired Martin from Texas with pitcher Anthony Bass in a Nov. 16 trade for reliever Tom Wilhelmsen, outfielder James Jones and utilityman Pat Kivlehan.

Martin, 27, lost his starting job last season with the Rangers when he slumped last season to .219 with a .264 on-base percentage in 95 games. He batted .264 with a .316 OBP over the four previous years.

The Mariners recently released Bass, at his request, in order to allow him to pursue an opportunity to pitch in Japan.

NEW YORK — Yankees manager Joe Girardi says newly acquired left-hander Aroldis Chapman will go into spring training as New York’s closer.

During an interview on the YES

Arbitration filings

7:05 p.m. 1380

Barring any late (and unexpected) agreements, three Mariners will file Tuesday for salary arbitration: Martin and relievers Charlie Furbush and Evan Scribner.

The players will exchange salary figures Friday with the club. Hearings will be held Feb. 1-21 in Phoenix where, if the two sides fail to reach agreement, an arbitration panel will choose one of the two submitted figures.

Martin made $3.75 million last year at Texas, but he isn’t expected to get much of a raise after a poor season. MLBTradeRumors.com projects Martin will make $3.75 million again.

Furbush, 29, made $1.3 million last season and projects for a raise to $1.7 million after compiling a 2.08 ERA in 33 appearances before suffering a season-ending biceps and rotator-cuff injury in July.

Scribner, 30, is eligible for arbitration for the first time. Acquired Dec. 8 from Oakland, he made $512,500 last season and projects for a raise to $700,000.

the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban pitcher.

Major League Baseball is currently investigating, and Chapman could face a

suspension under the sport’s new domestic violence policy.

Miller and Dellin Betances will set up Chapman, giving the back end of the New York bullpen the top three relievers by strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings in the majors last year.

QB Eason enrolls early at Georgia Staff and wire reports ATHENS, Ga. — Six football prospects from the University of Georgia’s 2016 recruiting class, including quarterback Jacob Eason, have enrolled in school early.

Georgia said six players were on campus Monday. They will be eligible to participate in spring practice.

Eason, from Lake Stevens High School, is expected to contend to be the starting quarterback as a freshman.

In his senior season with the Vikings, Eason threw for 3,585 yards and 43 touchdowns. He was named the Gatorade National Player of the

Year, the USA Today Offensive Player of the Year and the U.S. Army Player of the Year.

Also enrolling early at Georgia was tight end Isaac Nauta, who announced his commitment to the Bulldogs on Saturday at the U.S. Army All-American high school allstar game, where he and Eason were teammates.

Eason and Nauta are rated as the nation’s top players at their positions.

Other early enrollees included wide receiver Riley Ridley, offensive lineman Ben Cleveland, defensive back Chad Clay and defensive lineman Julian Rochester.

SEATTLE — St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright is this year’s recipient of the Hutch Award and will be honored Jan. 27 at a luncheon at Safeco Field, where proceeds will benefit the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

The award dates to 1965 and seeks to recognize a player who “best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire” of Fred Hutchinson, by persevering through adversity.”

Hutchinson was a Seattle native who was 95-71 in 1939-53 with Detroit and later served 12 years as a manager for Detroit, St. Louis and Cincinnati. He died in 1964 from lung cancer.

The Hutch Award luncheon raised more than $4.8 million over the last 16 years. Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon was last year’s recipient.

Previous winners include two Mariners: Jamie Moyer in 2003, and Raul Ibanez in 2013.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder announced Monday that he will return next season, ending months of speculation that the 76-year-old Hall of Famer might retire for the second time.

Snyder said he spoke with his family following the Wildcats’ loss to Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl. They told him to keep coaching

health, he was having a positive impact on his players and Kansas State officials wanted him on the sideline.

Snyder is entering his 25th season, a period interrupted by a brief retirement. He needs seven wins to reach 200, and figures to have a good shot at it with plenty of talent returning.

Kansas State went 6-6 this season despite a slew of injuries on both sides of the ball.

Sultan’s Tyler Morris takes a jump shot during a game against Lakewood at Sultan High School this past Friday.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

‘Diamond in the rough’ Sultan’s Tyler Morris, who is averaging 27.3 points per game this season, leads a Turks’ team hoping to overcome a slow start and earn a trip to the 1A state tournament

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

In 2009, Jordan Nicholes led the Sultan boys basketball team to a place it hadn’t been in 48 years — the state tournament.

But the Turks’ season didn’t start out so promising. A 2-7 record after nine games made advancing to state seem unlikely.

Nicholes, who averaged over 23 points per game that season, brought out the best in his teammates down the stretch and the Turks were able to go on a lateseason surge that resulted in a trip to the 2A state tournament in Yakima.

Seven years later Nicholes is helping mentor Sultan’s current star, senior Tyler Morris, hoping Morris can lead the Turks back to state.

Nicholes worked with Morris, who averages 27.3 points per game, in the summer, helping him improve his skills.

“We basically just worked on moves and skills that are going to prepare him for the next level,” Nicholes said.

“Tyler is a really coachable kid, so he kind of just was a sponge when I would work with him and he would soak up everything I had to tell him.”

Washington wrestlers to compete against the Japanese, who plan to visit Seattle with Alfi and Shorewood wrestling coach Derek Norton on Wednesday before flying home from Sea-Tac International Airport.

“We put in to host them at the state coaches convention, and it worked out because they want to end in Seattle,” Alfi said. “We’ll take them around to meet the mayor and ride a ferry and then do all the tourist stuff they want to do in Seattle.”

The 12-member Japanese team will be housed with the families of Edmonds-Woodway wrestlers and coaches, while the coaches will stay with Norton and his family.

Tuesday’s exhibition match — which will be of the freestyle variety as opposed to the collegiate style adopted by American high schools — will be contested in the Great Hall at EdmondsWoodway instead of the gym.

Alfi said that freestyle, which is the type of wrestling that recently was cut as an Olympic

When the season began in November, it was clear the instruction from Nicholes had helped. Morris had several 30-plus point games, but like the early part of Nicholes’ senior season, the points didn’t result in victories.

Frustrated, Morris turned to Nicholes again, who he often exchanges text messages with.

“He would ask a lot of questions about how to stay positive during hard times,” Nicholes said.

“As you can see right now, it’s not just about the numbers. He’s been putting up great numbers, but it’s about being able to win.

That’s basically what we’ve been focusing on lately is how he’s going to keep his guys motivated during hard times.”

The Turks have a long way to go to turn things around, but they did pick up their second victory of the season this past Friday, a 20-point win over Lakewood.

“A lot of it is on me,” Morris said. “A lot of it is me giving them that attitude and me leading them to playing how we should play.”

A strong statement from a kid who used to be scared to shoot.

Sultan head coach Nate Trichler recalled having to stop a practice last year because Morris

passed up multiple looks at open shots.

“We would run a set and he would pass up an open look and I finally just stopped practice and made him shoot,” Trichler said.

“I just couldn’t handle watching him not with all the time he’s put in and his effort.”

Morris’ intentions were good, but the Turks needed him to shoot in order to be successful.

“I just didn’t think that was my shot,” Morris said. “I always thought I could create for others. I just didn’t realize that me shooting is good for the team.”

Morris became a shooter by spending countless hours working on his shot, which he had to re-invent early in his high-school career. Morris had a low release, which Trichler told him wouldn’t work if he wanted to play in college.

Morris raised his release and became more of a scorer.

His breakout senior season has earned him looks from a few smaller colleges, but he is yet to make any decisions on where he will play. For now, all he knows is he wants to play somewhere.

Nicholes said whatever college Morris picks will be getting a steal.

“Most of these kids compete in freestyle in the offseason, so it’s not that much of a transition,” Alfi said. “It’s a lot more entertaining and rewards athleticism more. Comparing freestyle and

collegiate wrestling is like baseball and softball, which each have a four bases, a bat and a ball, but everything else is a little different.”

The styles may be different, but Tuesday’s event isn’t about takedowns and falls, wins and losses.

It’s about how the love of sport

“I think someone is going to find a diamond in the rough, for lack of (better) words,” Nicholes said. “I definitely think he’s a special kid with a special skill set, so I think wherever he lands in college they’re going to get a diamond.”

Trichler and Nicholes both raved about Morris’ work ethic, which the senior hopes to have a chance to display in Yakima for the state tournament in March just as Nicholes did seven years ago. “(Going to state) would be really special to me,” Morris said.

“All the work that people see you do, a lot of people don’t see all of the cold nights that I went to elementary school to get shots up and all the runs on the hill before school. It would be really cool and it would mean the world to me.”

Despite the Turks’ current 2-7 record, Morris remains confident state is a reasonable expectation.

“It’s all about when you climb, and right now we’re on the rise,” he said.

can span oceans.

Arlington coach Rick Iversen, who will be the team leader for the local all-stars, has participated in numerous events like this throughout his long career and has taken an American team of prep wrestlers to Budapest, Hungary, to compete.

Iversen’s foster son, Hiromi Nara, came to the United States for the first time on a cultural exchange trip from Japan, decided to stay to get an American education and went on to wrestle for Iversen at Western Washington University.

“The competition is great, but this will be about meeting and visiting kids from another country and seeing different styles of wrestling,” Iversen said.

Alfi, who hosted Japanese wrestlers after competing against them as a high school athlete, said the local all-stars will find their opponents from across the Pacific a lot like themselves.

“A lot of the Japanese kids learn English in school, but even if they don’t, the language of wrestling is universal,” Alfi said. “You walk into a wrestling room and nothing needs to be said. You walk onto a wrestling mat, you shake hands and you know what to do.”

Tide overcomes Watson’s heroics

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

By Pete Iacobelli Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Deshaun Watson certainly did his share for Clemson. The top-ranked Tigers, though, needed even more against powerhouse Alabama.

Watson threw four touchdown passes and accounted for 478 yards of offense, yet Clemson lost its dream of 15-0 perfection with a 45-40 loss to the Crimson Tide on Monday night.

Watson, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, had carried the Tigers (14-1) all season. He broke the Atlantic Coast Conference mark for total yardage held for 13 years by NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, then of North Carolina State.

Watson, facing his sternest test with Alabama’s vaunted defense, passed with flying colors.

When Alabama’s Heisman winner Derrick Henry rumbled for a 50-yard touchdown to open the scoring, Watson calmly answered back with a 31-yard scoring pass that he neatly dropped into Hunter Renfrow’s arms between Crimson Tide defenders Eddie Jackson and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Watson kept it going the next time Clemson got the ball.

He hit Charone Peake for a 24 yards pass after scrambling away from pressure, then found Jordan Leggett for a 20-yard completion.

Watson closed the drive with his second TD pass, this one an 11-yard strike to a sliding Renfrow.

Alabama had allowed only 19 points in the opening quarter its first 14 games before giving up two touchdowns to Watson’s Tigers.

Watson finished with 405 yards passing, the most any quarterback has hung on the Crimson Tide this year. He also ran for 73 yards.

Clemson’s Hunter Renfrow catches a 31-yard touchdown pass as Alabama’s Minkah Fitzpatrick (left) and Eddie Jackson defend during the first quarter of Monday’s game.

His performance was reminiscent of Vince Young’s dramatic effort in leading Texas past USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl for a national title. Young’s 467 total yards — 200 rushing, 267 passing — represented a seminal effort for dual-threat QBs and Watson was better. He just didn’t bring home the title.

After Alabama (14-1) moved in front 21-14 early in the third quarter, Watson went back to work once more. He directed a drive that ended on a field goal before giving Clemson its last lead of the game, 24-21, after directing a 60-yard touchdown drive.

Watson opened the sequence with a 20-yard burst, pulling the ball down and slipping through the left side of Alabama’s defense to put the Tide on their heels again.

Clemson, though, could not back up its quarterback.

Alabama seized control on special teams, first with an onside kick that two plays later, led to a 53-yard TD pass from Jake Coker to O.J. Howard. Then came Kenyan Drake’s dramatic 95-yard kickoff return score after Clemson had closed within 31-27.

It was just the second time the sophomore lost as a Clemson

starter. He came into the season a question mark, a superbly talented dual-threat quarterback with a history of injuries.

Watson had surgery last December to repair the ACL in his left knee. He said from the outset that he wouldn’t let that change his style — and Watson did not.

He led Clemson to its 15th ACC title in December and a second straight blowout bowl victory over Oklahoma, this one in the national semifinals.

Watson’s play, though, could not make up for Clemson’s mistakes on defense and special teams against Alabama.

Coker took a knee and after a two-year drought that felt like eternity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was back on top.

The Crimson Tide became the second team in college football’s poll era, dating back to 1936, to win four titles in seven seasons.

Alabama joins Notre Dame, which won four titles from 1943-49. For Saban, it is his fifth national championship — four in his nine seasons at Alabama — leaving him only one short of former Tide coach Bear Bryant for the most titles in history.

Watson gave the Tide all it could handle, throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns, and conjuring up memories of Vince Young’s miraculous performance for Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl that derailed Southern California’s dynasty.

crushed Notre Dame to repeat.

Trying to become the first FBS team to go 15-0, Clemson did not crumble under the force of Alabama’s might. But all those five-star recruits and future NFL players that dot the Alabama roster showed they also have plenty of resiliency and toughness. And Saban, the quintessential CEO coach, showed he had a little riverboat gambler in him.

That onside kicked stunned the stadium and Clemson, and brought a big grin to the face of the country’s most serious coach.

Seahawks From Page C1

But while the prospect of playing and coaching in those conditions would make most shudder, for Carroll it made the experience all the more exhilarating.

“I had a blast,” Carroll said. “It was so much fun, because it was just so crazy.

Everything about it is just crazy. The preparation part of it, the mental side of it that everybody was dealing with to get right so that they can be at their best, you could feel it and see it. There was big energy about that with our players and our coaches, too, because they didn’t want to succumb to it, they didn’t want to give in to it, and nobody did. So there was a real uplifted kind of emotion about just taking on the challenge and not being overwhelmed by the elements. So the whole thing was fun.”

The ending was also unusual. Seattle’s season seemed done and dusted when the Vikings lined up for a chipshot 27-yard field goal with 26 seconds to play in the game. However, Minnesota kicker Blair Walsh pulled the kick wide left, much to the disbelief of all who were watching.

“It was a very fortunate victory for us,” Carroll admitted. “We played really good football and did a lot of cool stuff, but we were fortunate to win it, and on we go.”

Walsh had made field goals of 22, 43 and 47 yards earlier in the game. On the 47-yarder, which came late in the third quarter, Seattle’s Richard Sherman came rushing around the end and was within a fingernail’s length of getting a piece of the kick. Could the memory of Sherman nearly making the block have played a part in Walsh missing the kick to win the game?

“The final kick was kicked much faster than the other kicks,” Carroll said. “I’d need to give you the times, but it was considerably faster. So for whatever reason they sped up their mechanism, Sherm couldn’t have been closer (on the third field goal), we can’t figure out how he didn’t get it.

So they went quite a bit faster. I don’t know, you’d have to ask them, but that fact is in there.”

The Seahawks under Carroll have also become that unique team that has no problem with falling behind in playoff games. After the game a statistic did the rounds: Since 2010, Seattle is 5-2 in playoff games in which it has trailed by nine or more points. The rest of the NFL is 6-41.

It’s a remarkable stat, one that suggests an uncommon resilience in these Seahawks.

“I saw that stat, too, today and I didn’t know it, but I couldn’t be more proud of that,” Carroll said. “That’s what we’re talking about, that’s how we hope to be. We’ve pulled off some pretty exciting finishes, and we’ve been part of the other end of it, too. But for the most part we’ve done it really well.

It’s a really good thing to know about yourself when you’re going into these games. I may have mentioned to the guys we’re not out of the game, there’s still time. Whatever it takes, the offense or the defense, to get it going again.

There’s a spark just waiting to happen to get us rolling, and we’re going to keep playing like that.”

A little less unique was the continued excellent play by Seattle’s defense.

Seattle held Minnesota to 183 yards of offense, and it was the third time in the past six games the Seahawks did not allow the opposing offense into the ends zone.

The defense was particularly stout against Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson, the NFL’s rushing champion, was held to just 45 yards on 23 carries. It was the second time this season Seattle bottled up Peterson. He was held to a mere 18 yards on eight carries when the teams played during the regular season, a game won by Seattle 38-7.

“It’s really the discipline that they’ve played with,” Carroll said about why Seattle was able to shut Peterson down twice. “Both games were basically the same. It’s the discipline to understand the scheme that we play and the schemes that they use in their running game, just being patient and tough when you have to be, being physical at the line of scrimmage, and being really well coordinated because it takes all of that to keep him from breaking out. The one time we make a mistake he gets 12 yards. I thought it was a tremendous illustration of what it takes to play great run defense against a really excellent football player. It was play after play after play of continuing to do the right thing. That’s how it goes.

It’s not just how tough you are or how fast you run or anything, you have to do things right and the guys are doing a great job of that.”

Carroll: No setback for Lynch

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was insistent Monday that running back Marshawn Lynch did not suffer an injury setback last week in practice.

Lynch, Seattle’s star ball carrier, was expected back for Sunday’s wild-card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings, which the Seahawks won 10-9. Lynch, who missed the previous seven weeks because of an abdominal injury

that required surgery, practiced in full throughout last week, including Friday afternoon. But Lynch did not board the team flight to Minneapolis on Friday evening.

However, Carroll was adamant that Lynch did not suffer a setback.

“He just didn’t feel like he could go,” Carroll said during his press conference at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “He really didn’t have the confidence that he’d be able to go. This is his first surgery ever and it happens to be right in

his core. You know what kind of runner he is and all the lateral things he does with his body that are so abrupt and so sudden. He needs to feel that he can do those things. Even though he could run fast and look like he’s moving, he didn’t have the confidence he could go out there and react to guys and do that. So there’s nothing we can do about that.”

Carroll said he’d have to wait and see how things go during the week to determine whether Lynch will be able to play in next Sunday’s divisional playoff

game against the Carolina Panthers.

In other injury news, the only player who came away from Sunday’s game with an issue was fullback Will Tukuafu, who suffered a hamstring injury.

The severity of the injury is not yet known. Defensive end Michael Bennett, who had to leave the game at one point because of a knee injury, only suffered a scrape and should be fine. Tight end Luke Willson, who missed the game because of a concussion, is expected back.

‘We are the better team’

Panthers’ Harper looks forward to Seahawks coming to Carolina

By Steve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers no longer appear apprehensive about playing the two-time defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks.

In fact, they’re pretty confident.

“We are the better team,” Panthers safety Roman Harper said matter-of-factly Monday.

Now Harper wants his teammates to prove it again Sunday when the two teams meet in Charlotte in the NFC divisional playoffs. The winner advances to play the Green Bay-Arizona winner for the NFC championship.

“We have to go out and show confidence in who we are and the things that we have done all year — and don’t shy away from the pressure,” Harper said.

The Panthers (15-1) took a big step forward when they went to Seattle and defeated the Seahawks 27-23 in Week 6, a victory that served as a springboard to their 14-0 start.

But it was more than just that.

That victory was about clearing a major obstacle for the Panthers. Before that they had lost four times in three seasons to the Seahawks, including 31-17 in the divisional

playoffs last January in Seattle.

“It tells you it can be done,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said of his team’s confident-building win in October.

The Panthers and Seahawks appeared to be on a collision course for the playoffs the final two months of the season. Several players said after that win they expected to see the Seahawks again in the postseason.

Harper even called it “fate.”

Many Panthers fans groaned on social media Sunday when Minnesota’s Blair Walsh missed a chip shot field goal that would have eliminated the Seahawks from the playoffs — and possibly given the Panthers a potentially easier road to the NFC title game by playing Green Bay rather than Seattle.

But Carolina All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who is no stranger to overcoming big obstacles in his career, said that’s not the approach the Panthers are taking this week.

“Why would you want anything in life that is easier?” Norman said. “Shoot man, if you don’t go for it head-on, then how can you say you’re the best at anything? That’s the way we are in our society — we want things the easy way and we want stuff to be given to us. We don’t want to work for it.

We want it handed to us. I don’t think that is the way it should be done. ... Challenge

yourself to be the best. And if you want to be the best, then go beat the best.”

Harper said the Panthers are better prepared for the Seahawks in this year’s playoffs than they were last January when they reached the postseason with a 7-8-1 record.

Carolina finished first in points scored on offense this season and led the league in takeaways.

“To be honest with you I don’t think we were ready for it,” Harper said of last year’s playoff defeat. “We were excited to be there and have a ticket to the dance. (This year) we have a better looking date because we’re 15-1 and at home. This year we are looking forward to them having to come here.”

The Panthers have not lost at home since Nov. 16, 2014 — a string of 11 straight games. That’s the longest home winning streak in the NFL. They will have to win two more games to get to where they ultimately want to go — the Super Bowl.

“This team is built for this,” Harper said of a Panthers team that has eight All-Pros, including six on the first team. “This team is built for this playoff run and I’m looking forward to seeing who we are going to rise up to be.”

NFL suspends Bengals’ Burfict three games next season

By Joe Kay Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was suspended for the first three games of next season as the NFL began handing down punishments on Monday for an ugly wild-card playoff game.

The league also is reviewing the conduct of other players and coaches during Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday night that turned on penalties against Burfict and Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones in the final minute.

Burfict was penalized for lowering his shoulder and hitting defenseless receiver Antonio Brown in the head after an incompletion with 22 seconds left and the Bengals holding a 16-15 lead. Brown got a concussion from the play.

Burfict had already been fined four

times for dangerous plays during the season. He got a $50,000 fine for an illegal hit on a Ravens player a week earlier. Burfict also was fined $69,454 for three penalties against the Steelers on Dec. 13: roughing the passer, grabbing the facemask and unnecessary roughness.

Merton Hanks, the league’s vice president of football operations, said the hit on Brown during the playoff game “placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided.”

While players and coaches from both teams were on the field as Brown was getting examined, Jones went after Steelers coach Joey Porter and got a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. The two penalties moved the ball from the Cincinnati 47-yard line to the 17, and Chris Boswell made a 35-yard kick for the win.

More punishments are expected from the game, which was marred by numerous altercations between players.

Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak got a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct after he grabbed safety Reggie Nelson’s hair on the sideline following a play.

Before the suspension was announced on Monday night, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said that Burfict didn’t “go over the edge” with his hit against Brown.

Although the linebacker has been penalized and fined repeatedly, Lewis said he’s been depicted unfairly for his play.

“It didn’t go over the edge,” Lewis said.

“But unfortunately, he can’t have that kind of blow with the guy that’s receiving the pass. But it didn’t go over the edge for the course of the season.

“Let’s not take things out of context, and understand it. Let’s judge the body of work.”

The NFL decided his penalties over the course of a season merited the suspension, which can be appealed.

Prosecutors: Odom won’t face any drug charges in Nevada Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Lamar Odom won’t be charged with any drug counts after the former NBA star was found unconscious last year at a Nevada brothel with cocaine in his system, prosecutors said Monday.

Evidence in the case did not prove that Odom used the drug during his three

days in Nye County, so he could not be charged with unlawful use of cocaine or being under the influence of a controlled substance — the felony count recommended by the sheriff’s office, District Attorney Angela Bello said.

Odom wasn’t in possession of any cocaine and the cocaine discovered in his

system had already metabolized — making it difficult to determine the time he had used it — when he was hospitalized Oct. 13 in extremely critical condition in Las Vegas, Bello said.

It’s “unlikely it could (be) established beyond a reasonable doubt he actually ingested, or was impaired by, the drug during the

time he was within the jurisdiction of Nye County,” she said in a statement.

Investigators have not directly contacted Odom but worked with his attorney, Blair Berk, a prominent celebrity lawyer in California who declined to comment on the decision by prosecutors.

Bello said no other recommended charges have been sent to her office involving the situation.

Odom’s blood was tested the same night he was taken

to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas.

The sheriff’s office later recommended the felony count.

Odom’s estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, and members of her famous reality television family were in Las Vegas soon after Odom was hospitalized. He was later transferred to a Los Angeles hospital.

The Odom family said Friday he had left the Los Angeles hospital for a private facility.

Odom spent most of his

14-year NBA career in Los Angeles with the Lakers and Clippers. He married Kardashian, appeared in her family’s “Keeping Up with The Kardashians” show and then starred in the “Khloe and Lamar” spinoff.

They split up amid rumors of cheating.

Brothel owner Dennis Hof said Odom spent $75,000 on two women who accompanied him in a VIP suite at Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, where he was found unconscious.
