Everett council to talk pot Members want to put a moratorium in place in case new rules doubling the number of retailers passes.

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The city of Everett has four open marijuana stores, with a fifth one in the

permitting stages.

That would be the maximum number of retail outlets permitted in the city under state law.

The state Liquor and Cannabis Board, however, is

attempting to integrate the heretofore unregulated medical marijuana industry. It wants a regulatory structure similar to the one governing recreational pot shops. One possible outcome of that would be to raise the existing cap of the number of retailers allowed per community.

The new rules aren’t in effect yet, but Everett isn’t taking any chances. The City Council on Wednesday will take up a measure to put a moratorium on all new “weed-tailers” in an attempt to get in front of the issue before they get caught by surprise again.

LYNNWOOD — The nonprofit Community Health Center of Snohomish County has a new service to help treat the colds, coughs, cuts and broken bones that can crop up on weekends.

Its walk-in clinic at 4111 194th St. SW is now open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The

Community Health Center provides medical services to anyone but was founded in 1983 to treat low-income and uninsured children and adults. Last year the organization treated 47,000 patients.

The walk-in clinic fills a niche that the Community Health Center couldn’t fill at its other clinics in Arlington, Edmonds and north and south Everett,

said Dr. Scott McAfee, medical director of the walk-in clinic.

In the past, patients could go to one of the existing clinics hoping that they could fill a noshow slot, said Bob Farrell, the health center’s chief executive.

Florid S., a medical assistant, positions 14-year-old Jessie Hernandez’s hand for a X-ray Sunday at the Community Health Clinic of Snohomish County in Lynnwood. The clinic introduced Sunday hours last week.

LAKE STEVENS — The biggest request of local voters in the Feb. 9 special election comes from the Lake Stevens School District.

It’s a $116 million bond measure to pay for building a new elementary and early learning center, new buildings at the high school and repairs or overhauls at other buildings in the 8,379student district. Every school would get safety upgrades and some would get infrastructure improvements, district spokeswoman Jayme Taylor said.

The money would be paid back over 20 years. It would cost homeowners an estimated $1.21 more per $1,000 assessed property value, or about $363 per year on a $300,000 home.

Voters would be taking on their second bond if they approved this one, which requires 60 percent of the vote. They passed a 20 year, $65.5 million measure in 2005 to build Cavelero Mid-High School, improve Lake Stevens High School, add a stadium and update Hillcrest, Mount Pilchuck and Sunnycrest elementaries.

There also are two levies on the books. In 2014, voters said yes to a $52.5 million levy for maintenance and operations and a $6 million levy for technology.

When the existing bond and levies are added to the new proposal, the estimated cost to taxpayers is about $2.44 per $1,000 assessed value. That amounts to about $732 per year on a $300,000 home.

Officials want to set up a campus on 38 acres the district owns between Soper Hill Road and Lake Drive, just east of Highway 9. The elementary and early

“The other thing is that Everett has done its part, while other municipalities have outright banned them,” said Councilman Scott Bader, who requested the moratorium from city staff.

Heating, ventilation and electrical systems would be replaced, as would the roofs. The restrooms, parking lot and bus pull-in also are slated for overhauls.

Work would be spread over about three years.

If the city wanted to extend the emergency moratorium, they would be required to hold another public hearing. But it’s likely one year will be enough for the city to settle on a new direction, whatever that turns out to be, Giffen said.

The emergency ordinance requires an affirmative vote of five council members, rather than a simple majority of the members present.

Man pleads guilty to drug charges

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — The first witness took the stand and James Painter folded.

Painter, 29, was accused of slinging drugs in Snohomish County for years. The Shoreline man was hauling more than four pounds of heroin in his Cadillac Escalade when he was arrested in 2014. Cops also found an additional 19 pounds in a Lynnwood

stash house.

Painter was making up to $40,000 a week selling heroin, according to court papers. Prosecutors alleged that Painter’s supply came directly from Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel. The notorious cartel is behind thousands of vicious killings and kidnappings in a bloody battle to stay on top of the multibilliondollar drug trade.

Two days into his trial earlier this month Painter leaned

across the defense table and told Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul he was ready to plead guilty as charged.

Painter is expected to be sentenced later this week for drug trafficking, money laundering and witness intimidation.

Prosecutors agreed to recommend a nearly 11-year prison stint in exchange for Painter’s plea. The defendant admitted his criminal enterprise was particularly egregious because of how

much dope he was peddling.

That opens the door for Superior Court Judge Janice Ellis to exceed the 10-year maximum set by state sentencing guidelines.

Snitches have been feeding cops Painter’s name since at least 2010. He was known as a major drug dealer responsible for shoveling pounds of heroin into the community.

He also was a cautious dealer, who reportedly buried money, cut off customers if they were

arrested and used stash houses in Lynnwood, miles away from his Shoreline house. Investigators believe he may have shut down operations at one point when he suspected the cops were getting close.

Detectives landed Painter in early 2014 after a month-long, intensive investigation that caught him selling heroin to a confidential informant working See CHARGES, Page A4

Question: Tell me about yourself.

Answer: This is actually my 12th year here in the United States. My family and I moved here from Kenya. We are Somali refugees and Kenya took us in and helped us find a way to

consider myself a math prodigy but even when I struggle, I do value finding the answer and not giving up.

Q: And you’re taking Advanced Placement?

A: I did chemistry last year and I did AP statistics last year and this year I’m doing precalculus. It’s not AP, but it’s considered a college-level class.

Doing that has given me a lot of credits toward college.

Stormwater ruling favors builders, local governments

OLYMPIA — A legal argument about stormwater requirements for new construction was resolved last week in favor of homebuilders and local governments, but the outcome disappointed cleanwater advocates.

Tuesday’s 2-1 ruling from the state Court of Appeals Division II affects a new federally mandated

drainage code that took effect Friday. Instead of adhering to new low-impact design requirements to reduce storm runoff in urban areas, the decision will allow projects to be built under rules in place when permits were submitted, even years earlier. The same principle applies to land-use regulations in Washington and is known as vesting.

The case stems from an October 2013 decision by the Pollution Control Hearings Board.

Board members decided that the stormwater rules are environmental regulations rather than land-use ordinances. The official name for the regulations is a mouthful: the National

He also deleted a reference to having been a “combat veteran” of Iraq and Afghanistan. Hunt has described himself as having been “wounded in combat” but grows vague when asked for details. He said he was knocked down by explosions but cannot remember where. He also says he cannot remember the names of units he deployed with to Iraq and Afghanistan, and he declined to elaborate on

service-related injuries for which he said he is receiving disability benefits.

Hunt, 36, heads U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign in the state. He told the newspaper he did not mean to list medals he had not received and took down the references until he could find documentation, which he said might be lost in boxes or at a relative’s house. He agreed he had made a mistake in listing the Iraq medal — mixing it up with a similarly named award he did earn. He said he never intended to mislead anyone about his military record.

And now, the Monday commute

Eastern U.S. digs out from record snowfall; storm’s death toll at 29

By Michael R. Sisak and Verena Dobnik Associated Press

NEW YORK — After a weekend of sledding, snowboarding and staying put, the blizzardblanketed Eastern U.S. will confront a Monday commute slowed by slick roads, damaged transit lines and endless mounds of snow.

Authorities cautioned against unnecessary driving, airline schedules were in disarray and commuter trains will be delayed or canceled for many as the work week begins after a storm that dumped near record snow from Washington, D.C., to New York City corridor.

The last flakes fell just before midnight Saturday, but crews raced the clock all day Sunday to clear streets and sidewalks devoid of their usual bustle.

Ice chunks plunging from the roofs of tall buildings menaced people who ventured out in Philadelphia and New York. High winds on Manhattan’s Upper West Side kept the snow from entirely swallowing the tiny Mini Cooper of Daniel Bardman, who nervously watched for falling icicles as he dug out.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio encouraged people to leave their plowed-in cars covered with snow all week after a oneday record of 26.6 inches fell in Central Park.

That advice came too late for Bob Raldiris, who tried shoveling his Nissan Maxima out of a spot in Ridgewood, Queens, before passing plows and trucks spoiled his labor. “This is terrible,” he said, pointing to a pile of snow three feet high.

Sunday’s brilliant sunshine and gently rising temperatures provided a respite from the blizzard that paralyzed Washington and dropped a record 29.2 inches on Baltimore. The weekend timing could not have been better, enabling many to enjoy a gorgeous winter day.

It was just right for a huge snowball fight in Baltimore, where more than 600 people responded to organizer Aaron Brazell’s invite on Facebook.

“I knew people would be cooped up in their houses and wanting to come outside,” said Brazell, who was beaned by multiple blasts of perfectly soft but firm snow.

But treacherous conditions remained: Of at least 29 deaths blamed on the weather, shoveling snow and breathing carbon monoxide claimed more lives

PETER MORGAN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

People clear snow from parked cars on Henry Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of New York on Sunday.

Firefighters and civilians stretch a line toward a burning house in Little Mahanoy Township, Pennsylvania, on Sunday. About a half mile of a private road needed to be plowed open to access the burning house, which ended up a total loss.

than car crashes as people recovered from a storm that dropped snow from the Gulf Coast to New England.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike reopened Sunday afternoon near Pittsburgh after more than 500 cars, trucks and buses got stuck Friday night. The huge backup happened after trucks couldn’t climb through the mountains toward the Allegheny tunnels in what would become 35 inches of snow.

But one day of sunshine wasn’t enough to clear many other roads. Federal offices are closed Monday, and Virginia’s state workers were told to stay home. Schools from Washington to the Jersey Shore gave

students Monday off.

Broadway reopened after going dark, but museums remained closed in Washington, and the House of Representatives postponed votes until February, citing the storm’s impact on travel.

Flying remained particularly messy after nearly 12,000 weekend flights were canceled.

Airports resumed very limited service in New York City, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, which said it got an entire winter’s snow in two days. Washingtonarea airports remained closed Sunday after the blizzard.

Major airlines also canceled hundreds of flights for Monday.

Along with clearing snow and

ice from facilities and equipment, the operators of airlines, train and transit systems had to figure out how to get snowbound employees to work.

Amtrak operated a reduced number of trains on all its routes, serving many people who couldn’t get around otherwise, spokesman Marc Magliari said. But bus and rail service was expected to be limited around the region into Monday.

Overall snowfall of 26.8 inches in Central Park made it New York’s second biggest winter storm since records began in 1869, and Saturday’s 26.6 inches made for a single-day record in the city.

“Just about everybody was expecting a strong storm system,” National Weather Service meteorologist Peter Wichrowski said Sunday. “The question always was, just how heavy was the precipitation going to be?”

Washington’s records were less clear. The official 3-day total of 17.8 inches measured at Reagan National Airport was impossibly short of accumulations recorded elsewhere in the city. An official total of 22.4 inches landed at the National Zoo, for example.

The Zoo will remain closed through Monday but a video of its giant panda Tian Tian making snow angels got more than 48 million views.

A beloved Capitol policeman joined a grim list of people who had heart attacks while shoveling snow. And a growing number of people died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

In Passaic, New Jersey, on Sunday, a mother and yearold son watching their family shovel snow from the apparent safety of their car died because snow blocked the tailpipe; her 3-year-old daughter was in critical condition.

A man who tried to shovel out his car in Muhlenberg Township, Pennsylvania, met a similar fate after a snowplow buried him inside. And an elderly couple in Greenville, South Carolina, was poisoned by the generator in their garage.

Roofs collapsed on a Pennsylvania church, a Virginia theater and a barn outside Frederick, Maryland, which got 33.5 inches of snow, killing some cows. Douglas Fink felt terrible about that: “I was trying to protect them, but they probably would have been better off just standing outside.”

Magnitude-7.1 earth quake shakes Alaska

By Mark Thiessen Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A magnitude-7.1 earthquake knocked items off shelves and walls in Alaska early Sunday morning, jolting the nerves of residents in this earthquakeprone region. But there were no reports of injuries.

Alaska’s state seismologist, Michael West, called it the strongest earthquake in the state’s south-central region in decades. Alaska often has larger or more powerful earthquakes, such as a 7.9 last year in the remote Aleutian Islands.

“However, last night’s earthquake is significant because it was close enough to Alaskan’s population centers,” West said, adding that aftershocks could continue for weeks.

The earthquake was widely felt by Anchorage residents. But the Anchorage and Valdez police departments said they hadn’t received any reports of injury or significant damage.

The earthquake struck at about 1:30 a.m. Alaska time and was centered 53 miles west of Anchor Point in the Kenai Peninsula, which is about 160 miles southwest of Anchorage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

VINCENT NUSUNGINYA

Groceries litter the aisles inside a Safeway store following a magnitude-7.1 earthquake in southcentral Alaska on Sunday.

Vincent Nusunginya, 34, of Kenai, said he was at his girlfriend’s house when the earthquake hit.

“It started out as a shaking and it seemed very much like a normal earthquake. But then it started to feel like a normal swaying, like a very smooth side-to-side swaying,” said Nusunginya, director of audience at the Peninsula Clarion newspaper. “It was unsettling.

Some things got knocked over, but there was no damage.”

Four single family homes in Kenai were lost.

Two of the homes were destroyed in explosions

and the other two were fully engulfed in fire before firefighters determined it was safe enough from gas for them to enter the homes, Kenai battalion chief Tony Prior said.

“No injuries. Thank God,” he said. “The second one was a major explosion. We’re fortunate that no one was hurt.”

About 30 homes were evacuated, and some people took shelter at the Kenai National Guard Armory.

Workers with the gas utility were examining the remaining homes Sunday afternoon with the goal of getting displaced residents back in their homes

later in the day.

The USGS initially reported the quake as a magnitude-7.1, but downgraded shortly after to magnitude-6.8 before raising it back to 7.1.

“Some earthquakes have challenges associated with them; they are unusual or hard to monitor,” West said. “This is neither of them. Southern Alaska is well instrumented, and this earthquake is of the style and type that we would expect in this area.”

The biggest aftershock Sunday was 4.7, and West said a magnitude-5 or magnitude-6 aftershock is possible.

There were reports of scattered power outages in the Anchorage area. The Homer Electric Association reported on its website that about 4,800 customers were without power early Sunday in the Kenai Peninsula.

The Alaska Department of Transportation reported on its Facebook page that there was road damage near the community of Kasilof, on the Kenai Peninsula.

Alaska Gov. Bill Walker said in a statement Sunday that he was relieved there wasn’t more damage. He urged all Alaskans to have a response plan for when a major natural disaster takes place.

ACROSS THE U.S.

3 fugitive inmates considered armed LOS ANGELES — Investigators are pursuing leads in the search for three inmates who masterminded a brazen escape from a Southern California maximum-security jail and are considered dangerous, authorities said Sunday.

“I want to tell the public: Presume that they are armed and do not approach them,” Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said of the accused felons who escaped Friday from the Orange County Central Men’s Jail in Santa Ana, by cutting through half-inch steel bars and rappelling three floors from the roof by a rope made from sheets. The U.S. Marshals Service offered a $30,000 reward on top of $20,000 offered by the FBI. The inmates are Jonathan Tieu, 20; Hossein Nayeri, 37; and Bac Duong,, 43.

Gas prices plunge 14 cents The average price of gasoline has plunged 14 cents over the past two weeks, to $1.91 a gallon. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday with the latest decline the price is the lowest it’s been in seven years. The current gas price is 16 cents per gallon under its year-ago point. The U.S. average diesel price is $2.19 per gallon, down about 12 cents from two weeks ago.

Gas well ordered shut down The Southern California Gas Co. was ordered Saturday to permanently close and seal a storage well that’s poured natural gas into the air over a Los Angeles neighborhood for months and driven thousands from their homes. A hearing board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District also ordered the utility to fund an independent health study for residents of the Porter Ranch neighborhood and inspect all 115 wells at the Aliso Canyon storage facility to help prevent future leaks.

Iowa: Trump says he pays ‘as little tax as possible’ Mitt Romney, the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee, called Sunday for this year’s Republican candidates to release their income tax returns — an apparent jab at billionaire front-runner Donald Trump. Trump said he’s “working on” making his filings public soon. But he made no secret that he pays only “a little tax.” “I try to pay as little tax as possible, because I hate what they do with my tax money,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I hate the way they spend our money, the way they give it to Iraq, the way they give it to Iran.”

AROUND THE WORLD France: Attackers shown committing IS atrocities

New video released by the Islamic State group Sunday shows the extremists who carried out the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris committing atrocities in IScontrolled territory while plotting the slaughter in the French capital that left 130 people dead and hundreds injured. The 17-minute video shows the extent of the planning that went into the multiple attacks in Paris. The video was provided by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi websites.

All nine militants seen in the video died in the Paris attacks or their aftermath.

Seven of the militants were filmed standing behind bound captives who were either beheaded or shot.

Egypt: Tut mask scratched Prosecutors have ordered eight museum workers to a disciplinary court for “gross negligence” after a botched repair job of King Tut’s burial mask, The 3,300-year old mask, whose beard was accidentally knocked off and hastily glued on with epoxy in 2014, was scratched during the amateurish repair work, prosecutors said Sunday. Their statement implicated the then-head of the Egyptian Museum and the chief of the restoration department.

Israel: Peres hospitalized Israel’s former President Shimon Peres was rushed to hospital after experiencing chest pains, just a week after suffering a mild heart attack, his spokeswoman said Sunday night. Medics treated Peres at his home and detected a “light irregular heart rate” after conducting an EKG test, spokeswoman Ayelet Frisch said. Doctors decided Peres was to spend the night in hospital for observation and testing, she said.

Small grocers face evolving challenges

By Jennifer Sasseen For The Herald Business Journal

The way millennials shop is changing the grocery business, says local grocer Mike Trask, and smaller independent stores will need to embrace new technologies to survive.

Owner of the Granite Falls and Edmonds IGA stores, Trask, 61, was recently named chairman of the board of directors of the Washington Food Industry Association, a trade group representing the state’s independent grocers and suppliers.

“One of the biggest pressures right now is the online,” Trask said. “And so all of us are starting, I think, to form a five-year plan, a four-year plan, to make sure that we’re in the online business.”

That means offering loyalty cards with deals tailored to the customer and emailing ads and coupons, but also setting up websites and digital apps that allow customers to shop online.

His stores offer grocery delivery in Edmonds, where a good share of the customer base is seniors. He’s planning to expand those services this year to his Granite Falls store, he said, and both stores offer the option to order online and pick up in-store.

“And that is really one of the things we think the millennials will want,” Trask said. “They can pick it up on their time frame and

not have to be home.

“The millennials are going to reshape our industry.”

He’s also breaking out a new shopper app this year that “will give it all to them on the phone,” Trask said, because that’s the way he thinks that’s the way millennials are going to shop — with their smartphones.

Another big challenge for the independents is the line of succession, Trask said.

“I got this store on a handshake and a plan-on-a-paper-napkin type of thing,” he said, referring to the Granite Falls store, which he bought in 1999 from brother Stan Trask and his business partner, Larry Fritz. (Hence the corporate name, Stanlar Inc., which Trask hasn’t bothered to change).

But gone are the days when a person’s reputation was enough to secure a bank loan, said Trask, who started out in the business bagging groceries and worked his way up through the ranks to store director and district manager positions.

Even if the loans were there, the buyers are not. The situation poses a dilemma for some 65-and-older store owners, who’ve maybe lost their vision for the future and are just hanging on, he said.

“We’re all aging and we’re not getting the people underneath us that will take over our stores someday,” he said.

The millennials are going to reshape our industry.

— Mike Trask, owner, Granite Falls and Edmonds IGA stores

The Washington Food Industry Association is aware of the problem, Trask said, and has developed leadership courses and a scholarship program to train a new generation of store owners.

Each year, members and board members of the Washington Food Industry Association travel to Olympia to meet with legislators and talk about proposed legislation and how it will affect the independent grocery industry. The need for transportation reform is a hot topic in the grocery world, Trask said. Delivery trucks spend far too much time stuck in traffic and that costs everyone money.

“From the wholesalers’ standpoint, transportation is a lifeline to the stores,” he said, “and probably the biggest cost they have is trucks and fuel and drivers on the road.”

While the chain stores can

fill a truck and deliver to many stores at a time, it’s different for the independents who have one or two stores. They’ve had to cut back from three or four deliveries a week to two deliveries to maximize the trucks and reduce costs. If an order doesn’t show up in a delivery for whatever reason, store shelves sit empty.

Proposed legislation to adopt Seattle’s $15 minimum wage statewide is another bone of contention. The association accepts that the minimum wage needs to be uniform throughout the state and raised “to somewhere north of $10,” Trask said, but “we don’t accept the fact that it has to be $15.”

Many of the independents already pay a $15 average wage or more, as well as medical benefits, he said, but a lower training wage is a necessity. Grocers can’t afford to pay young people $15 an hour to bag groceries, he said, yet that’s how many people, from politicians to Microsoft executives, got their start.

At $15 an hour, courtesy clerks will become a thing of the past.

Employees who check out groceries also will have to bag them, he said, and the level of service will decline.

“I really think this is going to be a death sentence for kids getting jobs,” he said.

The ban some cities have imposed on plastic bags also

needs to be made uniform throughout the state, Trask said.

Regarding the Haggen debacle — in which the Bellinghambased company went from 18 stores to 164 after acquiring 146 in the Albertsons-Safeway merger, and just a few months later filed for bankruptcy protection: “There’s just no way, when they announced that, I could even have fathomed that they could pull that off,” Trask said. “In most of the industry, that was the biggest awe, that they were going to try to do that. Not that they were buying those stores, that they were going to try and pull it off.”

Haggen probably got some bad advice, didn’t realize store prices were raised and by how much and didn’t understand their markets.

“They’re just a great company, always have been,” Trask said.

“Their forefathers were great independents.

“So it’s sad to see, but I believe that they’ll come out of this with some shape or form of something that will be intact.”

Independent grocers are a unique lot, Trask said, by virtue of their independence if nothing else.

“That’s what make us good,” he said. “We’re all our own independent. We know what our community needs and we have our own visions.”

for the bankrupt Haggen. Albertsons also agreed to transfer another $8.25 million in an unsecured claim against Haggen to other creditors.

The deal was reached Thursday, according to the documents filed by Albertsons with the SEC. The settlement must still be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

In December 2014, Haggen agreed to purchase 146 grocery stores as part of last year’s merger between Albertsons and Safeway. The first store that Haggen took over was the Albertsons in Monroe.

Problems emerged almost immediately and Haggen blamed Albertsons for, among other things, attempted to draw away

Haggen’s customers by using confidential information, providing incomplete and misleading inventory data and pricing information, and deliberately understocking and overstocking inventory at the new Haggen stores.

On Sept. 1, Haggen filed lawsuit against Albertsons, asserting that if it was destroyed as a competitor

IN OUR VIEW | Anti-smoking efforts

Help military ban tobacco When Hawaii made public health history by being the first state to raise the smoking age to 21 this year, the military applauded the move. Several bases in Hawaii said they would comply with the law.

“We see it as a fitness and readiness issue,” Bill Doughty, spokesman for the Navy Region Hawaii, told the Associated Press. “When we can prevent sailors from smoking or using tobacco, if we can get them to quit, then that improves their fitness and readiness, and it saves them a ton of money too.”

Which makes sense and raises the question: Why doesn’t the military ban smoking? Starting with ending the sale of cigarettes at its base commissaries? Well, it turns out, the Pentagon has tried to restrict smoking for years, only to be thwarted by political interests every time. Which is to say Congress. Here is that

body’s smoking gun, hypocritical, oxymoronic response to a 2014 request by the Navy to restrict cigarette sales on bases and ships: The House Armed Services Committee added language to its annual defense authorization bill, forbidding defense officials from enacting “any new policy that would limit, restrict, or ban the sale of any legal consumer product category” on military installations.

Despite this pessimistic track record, the timing is perfect to try again, now that the military is not actively recruiting soldiers to immediately send into combat, as was the case during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Many, many more soldiers, and citizens, die from smoking than from war.

More than 480,000 Americans die from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention — more than died on the battlefields of World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined, Mother Jones reported.

Military health officials reported that tobacco costs the military around $1.6 billion a year in health expenses, while profits from military store sales for 2012 totaled $125.7 million, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation. About 1 in 4 members of all military branches smoke, compared with about 1 in 5 of the general population. But the percentages differ across the military: While about 30 percent of Marines smoke, members of the Air Force and Coast Guard smoke less than the national average, as do officers in all branches, according to a Bloomberg View editorial.

Which means, as Bloomberg notes, that the military has branches and personnel

to emulate when it comes to attempts to become tobaccofree, which is important since members of Congress refuse to listen to military leaders when they think any given action might hurt their home state. For example, just as it won’t ban tobacco sales when asked, Congress continues to buy weapons for the military that its leaders say they don’t need. In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, Congress funded $120 million for Abrams tank upgrades, even as the Army testified it didn’t need more tanks, Military.com reported.

States can help the military and citizens, in spite of Congress, by emulating Hawaii and raising the smoking age to 21. We reiterate our strong endorsement of the current bills in the Legislature to raise the age to 21 here. It’s the healthy, and patriotic, action to take.

what part the members of the council play. However, some Snohomish citizens are “organizing” to promote ousting the city manager, and returning to a “strong mayor” form of government. Why? Perhaps people are concerned about the city manager receiving a pay increase (twice) following two failed audits of city hall and their work habits and lack of proper procedures That first audit, put city hall upsidedown. The council evaluated and gave his raise based on “high, high marks.” I and others don’t understand why.

Another example of people unrest, with the city council, city manager, and the mayor, is the citizen committee that was appointed to improve the image, and promote transparency of the council on the cell tower issue. Is this the first time this type of committee has ever been used? I think so.

I think it means a “red flag.”

Does that mean we now need a “strong mayor” system?

I really don’t know which form of government works best. Is it time for a change?

The city council has two new members, with more to follow. Knowing that new people in our city government are on the horizon, maybe we should rethink changing the present system. Is the problem the city manager, the city council or the system in place?

We need people who “rockthe-boat,” not jump out of it.

Conflict works. That allows a better result. We call it democracy.

These are considered very good jobs as every time there is a qualification exam, there is never a shortage of applicants.

With few fires to fight, they are trying to become a medical service provider at your expense through their paramedic programs.

With the city having previous performed technical analysis on locating fire stations, if a new analysis based on current conditions indicates that some Everett fire stations are no longer necessary, then it should be implemented. This is nothing new as cities age and change, however, don’t doubt the ability of the fire department to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt .

An analysis of “wants” expressed during the Regional Fire Service Authority Planning in south Snohomish County three years ago indicated an almost unaffordable fire service in future years.

As a result of costs and organizational problems, a significant reorganization by the Los Angeles fire department considers replacing the traditional platoon duty system, implementing demand-based staffing, and hiring civilians for certain positions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ SNOHOMISH

Pinochle players deserve break Regarding Chris Winters’ article, “With $11 prize, seniors’ pinochle has to go underground”: I have a hard time with what I am reading here, and find it unbelievable that we can legally smoke pot, but our citizens who have paid taxes the longest cannot smoke pot and enjoy a game of cards.

Who is complaining about this?

Although I don’t smoke weed, teach me pinochle and I will pick up the torch.

I spent many years as a teen at the senior center with my grandfather learning pool; our lawmakers need to obviously learn a few things.

Seniors rock.

■ SEAHAWKS

Players’ integrity so important After watching the Panthers-Seahawks game and being very disappointed that we got beat, I watched the Panthers quarterback grab a 12 flag from a fan and throw it to the ground. Is this the quality of a great football player after winning an important game, or is a sign of an immature individual who believes he is God’s gift to the NFL? Have you even seen Russell Wilson do something like that after any game, or a winning season?

To be a winner does not mean you win every game you play. To me it means that you do your best at whatever you are doing and that you maintain integrity, sportsmanship and respect for your opponent, win or lose. The Seahawks have proven that they regard this attitude as just as important as a winning season.

Regardless of the standings in the NFL this year, the Seahawks are still the best team in the NFL, in the aspect of sportsmanship, attitude and talent.

I have also been impressed with how most of the fans have handled this season and appear to feel the same as I do about our wonderful representatives of Seattle. I feel sorry for those people who believe that it does not matter how you play the game as long as you win! As a past Little League umpire for kids’ baseball I found that too many parents felt this way and did not care how

GOP elites now holding noses to back Trump

L

ate Thursday night, the National Review, the storied conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley, published an issue denouncing Donald Trump.

“Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in DANA MILBANK favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones,” the editors wrote.

The Republican National Committee reacted swiftly — immediately revoking the permission it had given National Review to host a Republican presidential debate next month. “Tonight, a top official with the RNC called me to say that National Review was being disinvited,” the magazine’s publisher wrote online. “The reason: Our ‘Against Trump’ editorial.”

That soft flapping sound you hear is the Grand Old Party waving the flag of surrender to Trump. Party elites — what’s left of the now-derided “establishment” — are acquiescing to the once inconceivable: that a xenophobic and bigoted showman is now the face of the Republican Party and of American conservatism.

In recent days, influential Republicans including Bob Dole, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Rupert Murdoch and now, as my Washington Post colleagues just reported, Rudy Giuliani and Peter King, have made noises about being able to stomach Trump. Republican donors are trying to insinuate themselves in the billionaire’s orbit. Trump himself said Thursday: “I have received so many phone calls from people that you would call ‘establishment,’ from people — generally speaking, conservatives, Republicans — that want to come onto our team.”

The Wall Street Journal editorial page had long criticized Trump’s candidacy, publishing an editorial in July arguing that the conservative media who applaud Donald Trump “are hurting the cause.”

The editors opined: “If Donald Trump becomes the voice of conservatives, conservatism will implode along with him.”

Earlier this month, the Journal reversed course. “Mr. Trump is a better politician than we ever imagined, and he is becoming a better candidate,” the editorialists wrote, speculating that “he might possibly be able to appeal to a larger set of voters than he has so far.”

I had been confident that Republican primary voters would reject Trump. I still think they would, if given the chance. But they haven’t been given a clear alternative. Because of Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, John Kasich and the others selfishly refusing to unite behind any one of them, the anti-Trump vote has been scattered.

Instead, they’ve let the GOP primary battle turn into a fight between Trump and Ted Cruz, and the party’s old guard has decided Trump is marginally better because he’s more malleable.

But how do you un-ring all these bells?

Trump has built his candidacy by antagonizing Latinos and Muslims, immigrants and women, Jews and African-Americans, Asian-Americans and the disabled. And if he walked away from his vows to deport 11 million illegal immigrants and to block Muslims from coming into the U.S., he’d abandon the source of his power: the rage of angry, less-educated white men.

Partisanship is now more important than any other factor in predicting Americans’ votes, which means there is little possibility of a Goldwater-style landslide against Trump.

Heck, Trump could even win — particularly if Democrats nominate a socialist to oppose him — but the only thing more likely to devastate the Republican Party and the conservative movement than a Trump wipeout in November would be a Trump victory. Either way, he’d cement the Republican Party’s long-term demographic problems and bind conservatism to bigotry and nativism.

This is why I wonder about the selfdeception of those GOP elites now cozying up to Trump.

The Hill newspaper last week interviewed major donor Robert Bazyk, who decamped to Trump from Bush. He objects to Trump’s positions on refugees and Muslims, and his “insults and namecalling.” And yet he is funding the man.

If, in future years, Republicans and conservatives are called to explain how Trump happened, they might recall this: Good people could have stopped him, but they didn’t.

Possible just 5 of 77 abusive clergymen were convicted Associated Press SEATTLE — It’s possible that just five of the 77 Catholic priests and clergy members in western Washington identified as likely sex abusers of children were ever convicted.

The Seattle Times reported Sunday that it came to that conclusion after analyzing a list published this month by the Seattle Archdiocese. The list includes names of priests and other clergy who served or lived in western Washington since the 1920s “for whom allegations of sexual abuse of a minor have been admitted, established or determined to be credible” following a two-year review by a consultant and an archdiocese-appointed board.

The newspaper said it could find evidence of convictions for just five, and only one of those — Paul Joseph Conn, who served at a Port Angeles church in the late 1980s — was convicted in Washington.

More may have been prosecuted, the newspaper said. For some offenders, a lack of information about their whereabouts or other details makes it impossible to readily find a record of criminal charges.

And some cases go back decades, before court records can be readily found.

The archdiocese declined to provide further identifying information for the listed clergy, including middle names and dates of birth, which would have made it easier to check

Windshield washer fluid can also work in a pinch, if it’s not too cold yet outside, according to a friend of mine in Alaska.

The general recipe for a DIY de-icing solution is one part water to two parts rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol), with or without a dash of liquid dish soap, although I’ve yet to find anyone who’s tried it.

Most of the folks I know who live in colder climes than these say they spring for commercial de-icing sprays, which are guaranteed to work. Many stock up after winter, when the fluids are on sale. Around here, you could probably justify paying full price since it will likely last more than one season.

Then there’s my Michigan cousin, whose approach basically tells us all to suck it up: “My scraper is sharp and my will is outstanding.”

some of the names. It also hasn’t publicly disclosed their case files.

Conn was a 36-yearold priest at the Queen of Angels church in 1988 when he admitted to molesting six altar boys between the ages of 11 and 13, court records show.

“This stuff is in my past, and that’s where I want to leave it,” Conn told the newspaper.

Four others — Edmund Boyle, Robert Brouillette, Louis Ladenburger and George Silva — all served in western Washington at times, but were convicted of sex crimes against children in other states. Boyle, now deceased, retired from Mount St. Vincent in Seattle in 1984 and spent a total of about 15 years in the Seattle Archdiocese. He pleaded guilty in Nevada in 1987 to one count of lewdness with a child for exposing himself, according to news accounts and interviews.

Brouillette and Silva each was assigned to O’Dea High School in Seattle for a few years during their careers, and Ladenburger served four years at St. George Parish on Beacon Hill.

Another priest on the list — Dennis Kemp, who served at St. Monica Catholic Church in Mercer Island between 2002 and 2007 — was accused of touching an altar boy, but King County prosecutors declined to charge him. “It did not rise to the level of a criminal offense, based upon the information we had at the time,” said King County

Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Lisa Johnson, who heads the office’s Special Assault Unit.

Many cases of child sex abuse involving Catholic clergy surfaced years after the alleged crimes occurred — and beyond the statute of limitations for filing criminal charges, those familiar with the archdiocese’s review said.

“A lot of these were just not prosecuted,” said Kathleen McChesney, the consultant hired by the archdiocese’s law firm to compile the list. “The allegations were either brought after the statute of limitations, or there might not have been the proper investigations done.”

Mary Dispenza, Northwest director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said she’s not surprised so few of the clergy were prosecuted.

“No matter how many kids they assaulted, very few predator priests are ever prosecuted,” said Dispenza, herself a survivor of a priest’s sexual abuse.

To increase such dismal prosecution numbers, lawmakers must “repeal the arbitrary deadlines that stop victims from exposing these predators in court and increase penalties for those who hide child sex crimes,” she said.

Since the late 1980s, the Seattle Archdiocese has paid about $74 million in civil settlements for 392 claims of sexual abuse of minors, including at least $1.1 million paid to three of Boyle’s victims.

Costco, Fred Meyer have cheapest gas

Too many 204 merge peeps just keep butting in and DON’T YIELD. A stop-andgo light will help a lot!”

It sounded like a great idea, but...

Tom Pearce, of the Washington State Department of Transportation, responds: “We understand drivers’ frustration with the westbound merge of U.S. 2 and State Route 204 at the east end of the trestle.

Drivers are experiencing increased congestion because the trestle simply doesn’t have the capacity for the growing traffic volume. In fact, the volume in that area is so great at peak hours that ramp-metering lights would only make the problem worse. If we added ramp meters at the U.S. 2 ramps from SR 204 and 20th Street SE, traffic would back up even more on both approaches.

“The only real way to fix the issue would be to widen the trestle,” Pearce said. “However, there is no funding available for that, so there are no plans to widen it at this time.”

Gas prices are low — but who has the lowest price at the pump?

Costco is your best bet, according to GasBuddy, which tracks gas prices and offers an app to help folks find the cheapest, nearest station.

For the forth year in a row, the wholesale club came in at the top of the company’s annual review as providing the most value. On any given day in 2015, the average Costco nationally was priced 19.8 cents per gallon lower than its competitors. It was also No. 1 in 12 different states, including Washington, where Costco stations were 26.8 cents per gallon lower than competitors.

Only warehouse members can buy gas at Costco stations.

For Washington, Fred Meyer gas stations come in at No. 2 for value.

No simple fixes for trestle merge Pat Forster, of Lake Stevens, wrote in after slogging through “another big tie-up” one recent morning at the merge of Highway 204 to the U.S. 2 westbound trestle. “We need a stopand-go light like on I-5 entries at the merge point!

Whatever happened to KISS parenting?

DAILY CROSSWORD

A journalist asks, “Why do today’s parents seem to be having so many more parenting difficulties than did parents of previous generations?”

There is more than one answer to the question; or, there is one answer with a number of aspects.

One of the primary features of parenting back then — “then” being before the psychological parenting revolution that began in the late 1960s — was cultural consensus. With rare exception, everyone agreed on how children should be raised. The fundamentals included that parents, not children, were the center of attention in a family, they ran the show, and children did what they were told simply because they were told. The legitimacy of parent authority was a given; therefore, parents were not required to explain themselves to children. In effect, pre-psychological parenting adhered to the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principle before that was even articulated.

That consensus was shattered by the cacophony of expert voices that began arising in the late 1960s. As parent-babble increased, so did parenting disagreement. Today, parenting differences are one of the leading

JOHN ROSEMOND LIVING WITH CHILDREN causes of divorce. Informal polls I’ve conducted indicate that at least 50 percent of grandparents do not approve (to varying degrees, of course) of how their grandchildren are being raised.

The primary complaint I hear from teachers and school administrators is that today’s parents are more likely to disagree than agree with at-school discipline. More than a few parents have told me they don’t allow their kids to play at certain other children’s homes because of parenting differences.

In short, parenting disagreements fracture marriages, families and friendships. It now appears that parenting should be added to religion and politics as “don’t talk about” subjects.

Issues that were non-issues 60 years ago have become major sources of controversy — family

sleeping arrangements, discipline (generally), spanking (specifically), diet, education, everything.

And as is the case with American politics, the parenting middle ground is disappearing as parenting wars become part of the culture war.

Once upon a not-so-long-ago time, there was a village in which adults agreed and supported one another concerning child-rearing matters. Children, therefore, knew what to expect. Today, the village is a cacophonous battleground. Confusion has replaced consensus. The foundations have been destroyed. What was once a fairly straight path from infancy to emancipation has become a long and winding road to who-knowswhat or even when.

Psychologists would probably say we need a cultural conversation about how to raise kids. Nah. We have already over-intellectualized a process that is done primarily from the heart, not the head. We definitely do not need more talk, more intellectualizing.

We simply need to get back to square one, which, if that’s ever going to happen, will take place one parent at a time. Who wants to go first?

Man wrongly thinks infidelity is hereditary Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married seven years and have two beautiful children. Overall, the time we have been together has been wonderful, although we do sometimes argue.

On more than one occasion, my husband has shared his concern that I am cheating on him. I have never been unfaithful, nor have I ever given him any reason to think I would be. He’s worried because he knows my father was unfaithful to my mother many years ago. How can I get my husband to stop putting me in the same category as my father?

He says he read that cheating is hereditary so I’m bound to do it. He throws the same accusation at me any time he gets upset with me. It’s starting to affect my hope for our future because I don’t think he will ever trust that I love him and don’t plan to commit adultery. — Not Like Dear Old Dad Dear Not Like Dear Old Dad: I don’t know where your husband “read” that adultery is hereditary, but it’s time you asked to see the source of his misinformation because it’s wrong.

You are not responsible for your father’s behavior, and for your husband to imply that because your father strayed you will is, frankly, insulting.

If you are accused of infidelity any time there’s a disagreement, you two aren’t getting to the root of what’s really wrong in your marriage, and it’s time to get professional marriage counseling.

Dear Abby: We just hosted the family for our annual post-Christmas get-together. My brotherin-law’s girlfriend of many years was on her cellphone RIP HAYWIRE

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

during the cocktail hour, the entire dessert course, the gift exchange and while my daughter was playing the violin song her ensemble had played for the holiday concert.

I never answer my phone when I’m entertaining guests because they are where my attention should be. My daughters have been taught that it’s rude to be on the phone during dinner and when guests are over.

How can I nip this in the bud without causing a rift with my brother-inlaw, whom I love dearly?

If “Pseudo Auntie” does not want to socialize with the people she has been invited to be with, she should stay home. — Offended In New Jersey Dear Offended: I agree with you that “Pseudo Auntie’s” behavior was rude, and I don’t blame you for feeling upset about it.

I do not think that it should cause a rift if you were to tell your brotherin-law and his girlfriend that using her cellphone during the dinner you worked so hard to prepare, and during your daughter’s violin recital, caused hurt feelings. And tell them that in the future you would like her to leave her phone elsewhere during family gatherings in your home.

Macklemore explores his ‘White Privilege’

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — Macklemore explores racism and hip-hop in a new song called “White Privilege II,” rapping about a white person’s position in society with black people fighting injustice and even namechecking Iggy Azalea for appropriating black culture, along with himself.

The track, released Friday, is close to nine minutes long and starts with the Grammy-winning rapper at a march in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I wanna take a stance because we are not free, and I thought about it, we are not we,” he raps on the song, released with musical partner Ryan Lewis.

“Am I in the outside looking in? Or am I in the inside looking out?”

Essence magazine entertainment director Cori Murray said she appreciated Macklemore’s honesty.

“I don’t think there’s an easy answer, and I think that he really did just say very plainly, ... ‘I know I’m appropriating black culture, but I’m trying to do it in the most authentic way,’ ” Murray said.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis released the song the week Spike Lee, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and others said they were skipping the Academy Awards

INVISION

Macklemore performs at Power 106’s Cali Christmas 2015 in Inglewood, California, on Dec. 4.

because of two straight years of all-white acting nominees. The Seattlebased duo’s website says the song “is the outcome of an ongoing dialogue with musicians, activists, and teachers within our community in Seattle and beyond.”

Macklemore namedropping Azalea and other singers accused of appropriating black culture has gotten attention on social media.

“We wanna dress like, talk like, walk like, dance like, but we just stand by, we take all we want from black culture, but do we show up for black lives?” he raps.

Azalea, known for the hits “Fancy” and “Black Widow,” responded on

Twitter after a fan pointed the song out to her.

“He shouldnt have spent the last 3 yrs having friendly convos and taking pictures together at events etc if those were his feelings,” Azalea wrote.

Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg said the diss was just Macklemore being honest. “You can take it as an all-out insult, as Iggy did ... but that’s appropriate, it’s done factually,” said Rosenberg, who co-hosts “Ebro in the Morning” and played “White Privilege II” early Friday during the radio show.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis became a success when they independently released their 2013 debut “The Heist,” which featured the multi-platinum

No. 1 hits “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us.” The success also brought them drama: After submitting their songs and album to the rap categories at the Grammys, they were kicked out of the category by the rap committee, though the decision was later overruled. They went on to win Grammy awards in 2014 for best new artist, rap performance and rap album, besting critical darling Kendrick Lamar.

Afterward, Macklemore said Lamar should have won best rap album.

The duo returned to music last year with the platinum single “Downtown” and will release its sophomore album, “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made,” Feb. 26.

CITY OF MUKILTEO CALL FOR 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DOCKET APPLICATIONS The City of Mukilteo’s annual review process of its Comprehensive Plan starts with a call to residents and interested parties for applications proposing amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or development regulations. This process is referred to as “docketing” which ensures citizens and other interested parties have the opportunity to be involved in the shaping and planning of the City.

The City is accepting docket applications for 2016 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or development regulations until February 11, 2016.

State law allows cities to amend their comprehensive plans only once a year but there is no requirement to do so. This call for docket applications is for potential 2016 amendments. All applications submitted will be considered for placement on the 2016 Final Docket by the City Council at a public hearing in mid-2016. Placement on the final docket does not mean the application will be approved. It only means there will be further analysis by city staff and will be considered for adoption by the City Council. Only items placed on the final docket may be considered for adoption.

If you have any questions regarding the docketing process, contact Associate Planner Anita Marrero at (425) 263-8044 or amarrero@ci.mukilteo.wa.us. Application packets are available on t h e C o m p r e h e n s i ve P l a n p a g e o f t h e C i t y ’s w e b s i t e a t www.ci.mukilteo.wa.us or at City Hall, located at 11930 Cyrus Way, M u k i l t e o, WA 9 8 2 7 5 .

UW falls 80-75 to Utah in OT

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

That prognosis put both his football and basketball seasons in doubt. Schuh said he felt for Koellmer, who had started at quarterback for the Charges since his sophomore year.

“He was super bummed when it happened in the summer,” Schuh said. “Right when it happened, he didn’t know exactly what (the injury) was. He went to the doctor and found out he was going to be out for three, four, five, potentially six months. He’s looking at it going, ‘Aw man! I might be out for football and basketball!’ It was a big shock. I felt so bad for the kid.

“But I know he did a great job during football just being a student/coach, up in the box and doing some things.”

Koellmer made the best of the situation.

He got a scooter for his leg and was visible at Marysville Getchell football practices while holding out hope he could return in January for the Chargers’ final 10 basketball

SEATTLE — In jumping to an early 5-1 Pacific-12 Conference record, the University of Washington men’s basketball team won several times with dramatic comebacks and lastsecond heroics.

On Sunday night, the Huskies finally ran out of game-saving miracles.

Washington erased a five-point deficit in the late moments of regulation to force overtime, but then went flat in the extra period in an 80-75 loss to visiting Utah.

Against an often spotty UW defense, the Utes finished with five players scoring in double figures, including a game-high 29 points by center Jakob Poeltl. The 7-foot Austrian shot 16 free throws, or twice as many as the rest of his teammates combined and as many as the entire Washington team. He converted 13.

The 5-2 Huskies still share the league lead with Oregon heading into a Los Angeles road trip next weekend. But according to head coach Lorenzo Romar, the game was a missed opportunity to seize sole possession of first place in the conference standings.

“It was a home game and you just can’t give those away,” Romar said. “Those are precious.”

Neither was a late rally to force overtime any consolation.

“We don’t have moral victories,” said guard Andrew Andrews, who led the Huskies with 17 points.

The game was a tight, hardfought battle throughout with 11 ties and 15 lead changes.

The biggest lead for either team was Utah’s five-point margin with 1:30 to play in regulation.

Washington countered with two free throws from

Thrilled to be back After an injury threatened to wipe out both his football and basketball seasons, no one is happier to be on the court this winter than Marysville Getchell senior Taylor Koellmer

By David Krueger Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — A freak injury transformed Marysville Getchell senior Taylor Koellmer from a player to a coach.

Now, he’s thrilled to have switched back.

Koellmer, who broke a bone in his foot during the summer, served as an assistant coach with the Chargers’ football team this past fall.

He was set to continue in a similar capacity for basketball, but was cleared by doctors earlier than expected and has helped Marysville Getchell (7-8) match the program record for wins in a season with five games remaining in the regular season.

“It’s different now because I have perspective from a coach’s view (after) watching a whole season of football,” Koellmer said.

“But being a player again, I can almost coach myself as well and see what they see and try to fix it.

“It’s just so much better being on the court, though.”

Corby Schuh, the boys basketball coach at Marysville Getchell, said Koellmer has such a high basketball IQ that even as a player, he helps coach his teammates on the court.

“He’s a kid you have to have in at the end of the game,” Schuh said. “He can hit free throws, he’s really smart — it’s like having a second coach on the floor. … He’s a leader.

When we talk about strategy and game plan, he gets it. He’s able to help explain it to other players on the court.”

Koellmer’s athletic future was in doubt after a fadeaway 3-pointer at a summer practice in early July.

“Right away when I landed I heard a huge ‘pop’ and I was like, ‘Whoa! I think I just broke a bone!’” Koellmer said. “I’d never broken a bone before. I broke my fifth metatarsal on my right foot. I was just shooting, landed on it, snapped in half, that was it. Just crazy, random. … The first two weeks I was still shocked. I couldn’t even believe it at first. No football? Eventually, the doctor said January was the return time.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Superman is bringing his cape and his pen to Super Bowl 50. He’s leaving behind his camera.

“Yeah, we are going to the Super Bowl. We are not going just to take pictures,” Cam Newton said Sunday after leading the Carolina Panthers into the big game with a 49-15 rout of Arizona for the NFC championship. “We are trying to finish this thing off.”

That would be against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in two weeks.

Arizona’s top-ranked offense. The 49 points were the most for an NFC title game winner.

The NFL’s new top man at quarterback — Newton is an AllPro this season — goes against five-time MVP Manning. Carolina is favored by four points.

“We’ve been dreaming about this moment since Day 1,” Newton said. “Our pen has a lot more ink left.”

It will be Newton’s first trip to the Super Bowl and the second for the Panthers (17-1), who lost to New England 12 years ago.

Victoria Azarenka celebrates after defeating Barbora Strycova during their fourth-round match at the Australian Open.

Azarenka advances to Aussie quarterfinals

By John Pye Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Victoria Azarenka couldn’t get off court quickly enough to check the score after reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals.

To her excitement, it was a Broncos win.

The two-time Australian Open champion had just beaten Barbaro Strycova 6-2, 6-4 in the fourth round on Monday — continuing a three-year sequence of wins against the Czech player that started in the second round in 2013 and included the third round last year — when she wanted to know the result of the AFC title game.

“Can somebody please tell me, did Broncos win?” she said, taking over her on-court TV

interview. When she heard the Denver Broncos had beaten the New England Patriots 20-18, she shouted “Yesss!!” — stepping back and raising both arms, “I’m so happy now.”

“I was so nervous the whole morning, I didn’t watch. I didn’t want to know the result,” she said. “As you can see I’m a crazy sports fanatic, so I understand you guys when you get all nervous and stuff, because I felt that.”

Peyton Manning’s Broncos will face Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers in the 50th Super Bowl. Azarenka has already shown some allegiance to Newton and the Panthers, doing her version of the “dab” in her victory celebrations.

Told of the Panthers’ win over the Cardinals in the NFC title game, Azarenka said “Well

then, it’s going to be my dream final, I can’t wait to see that.”

Azarenka is coming off two injury-interrupted seasons, but is returning to the kind of form that took her to the No. 1-ranked and back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2012 and 2013.

She won the Brisbane International leading into the first major of the season, and dropped only five games in her first three rounds at Melbourne Park.

Next up she faces No. 7 Angelique Kerber, who beat fellow German Annika Beck 6-4, 6-0 in the preceding match on Rod Laver Arena.

Kerber, who saved match point in her first-round win over Misaki Doi, is into the quarterfinals for the first time in nine trips to Melbourne Park.

Fowler wins Abu Dhabi title Associated Press ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Rickie Fowler puffed his cheeks and shook his head. What looked like being a procession to the Abu Dhabi Championship title ended up being a squeeze for the American on Sunday.

It needed two moments of inspiration in the final round to seal a one-shot victory — and spark more talk about Fowler’s place in golf’s current elite.

Dressed in his trademark Sunday orange, Fowler rebounded from a double-bogey at No. 7, which helped trim his lead over a congested pack of challengers from four strokes to one, by chipping in from 30 yards for eagle from a bunker at No. 8.

Then, at No. 17, Fowler holed a chip from just off the green for a birdie that shook off playing partner Thomas Pieters.

Fowlershot a 3-under 69 for 16-under 272 overall. Pieters (67) was runner-up, with fast-finishing Rory McIlroy (68) and Henrik Stenson (67) tied for third.

Dufner wins playoff LA QUINTA, Calif. — Jason Dufner won the CareerBuilder Challenge with a par on the second hole of a playoff Sunday, taking advantage of David Lingmerth’s shot off the rocks that bounced into the water.

He helped coach the MG quarterbacks, including his backup — and younger brother — freshman Caleb Koellmer.

“It was actually a really good experience. He knew a lot,” said Caleb Koellmer, who’s also a guard on the Marysville Getchell basketball team. “(Chargers football coach Davis Lura) said he knew the playbook secondbest to him. That was really helpful.”

In coaching his younger brother, Taylor Koellmer wore two different hats.

“Sometimes he plays the role of the bigger brother and other times he plays the role of the coach,” Caleb said. “I kind of get

Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — Arnecia Hawkins hit her first five shots and scored 19 points, and No. 8 Arizona State never trailed in a 62-47 rout of Arizona on Sunday night to secure the best Pac-12 start in school history.

Katie Hempen added 14 points for the Sun Devils (17-3, 8-0) in their 14th consecutive win and second in three days over their rivals.

USC 61, California 47 LOS ANGELES — Courtney Jaco hit two 3-pointers during a 17-0 fourthquarter run that sent USC to a victory over California. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for USC.

Oregon 77, Utah 65 SALT LAKE CITY — Jillian Alleyne had 23 of her 26 points in the first half and grabbed 12 rebounds to match the Pac 12 record of 85 double-doubles and Oregon defeated Utah.

Alleyne tied Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike for the league record for double-doubles and is three behind Bev Smith’s school record, established before the NCAA sponsored women’s sports.

OSU 61, Colorado 47 BOULDER, Colo. — Ruth Hamblin scored Oregon State’s first 10 points and finished with 20, and the 11thranked Beavers defeated Colorado.

UCLA 56, Stanford 36 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kari Korver scored 11 points, hitting three 3-pointers in the decisive third quarter, and No. 20 UCLA led all the way in beating 12th-ranked Stanford, snapping the Bruins’ 21-game skid against the perennial Pac-12 powerhouse.

The Bruins held the Cardinal to a season-worst 20 percent shooting.

UCLA moved into a tie with Washington for third in the conference.

Andrews, a defensive stop and a clutch step-back 3-pointer from the right corner by guard David Crisp to make the score 66-66 with 16 seconds remaining in the second half. Without taking a timeout, Utah ran the clock down but failed to get a good shot off at the buzzer.

But in overtime the Utes got the first two baskets on goaltending calls against Washington’s Malik Dime and never trailed the rest of the way. The Utes made their final field goal with 2:17 to play, but then scored their final eight points at the free throw line, including six in a row by Poeltl.

The Huskies, meanwhile, were just 3-for-12 from the field in overtime, including 1-for-7 from the 3-point stripe. Trailing by five, they got a layin by guard Dejounte Murray with 5.5 seconds to play to pull within three, and he was fouled on the play. Murray missed the free throw, apparently intentionally in the hope of an offensive rebound, but the ball bounced out of bounds without being touched and Utah was able to run off the remaining seconds.

sucks that we didn’t get a win for them,” Andrews said. “But I thought we had a great, great crowd.”

“Our crowd was unbelievable tonight,” Romar agreed. “That’s the biggest crowd we’ve had (in a while). ... It certainly helped our team. It fueled the fire with our guys a lot. When our guys hit some shots and you could just see how loud it was and how uplifted our guys were. So (the loss) wasn’t the crowd’s fault, that’s for sure.”

The Huskies will play at UCLA on Thursday night and at USC on Saturday afternoon, and both teams will likely be looking for revenge. In Seattle three weeks ago, Washington beat UCLA in double overtime

a bit of both. I like when he’s the coach more.”

Coach Taylor Koellmer got a pleasant surprise when he went to the doctor in October and was told he could finally make the switch back to player.

“For a few months, I was thinking I wouldn’t be ready for tryouts. I went to the doctor one day and he told me I was 100 percent cleared,” Koellmer said.

“I was like, ‘What? Really?!’

“Being an assistant coach for football and being out there everyday was great, but also being out there everyday and not getting to play kind of sucked. But I liked being there the whole time.”

Koellmer put in his 10 football practices and got to play in the Chargers’ season finale, a 31-14 victory over Mountlake Terrace.

Then, the focus switched

and then defeated USC after erasing a 22-point second-half deficit.

The LA trip “is going to be a big challenge,” Romar said. The Bruins and Trojans “probably felt they should’ve won both games when they were here, so they’re going to come out ready. But I really feel confident about our team.

“I’m not telling you we’re going to go undefeated (in Los Angeles),” he said. “But I feel like any game we walk into we’re going to step up to the challenge and try to meet that challenge. ... I look up and we’re still tied at the top of the league. And like I said, I really believe this team will continue to get better.”

to basketball and helping the Chargers return to the district tournament for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

That’s the only time Marysville Getchell, now in its fifth year of fielding a varsity basketball team, has qualified for the postseason.

In its three other seasons the Chargers have seven wins combined.

“He’s actually started 75 percent of the games this year for us,” Schuh said. “We start him because he’s a smart kid, he knows our stuff, he’s a great leader. He’s gotten more minutes as the season has gone on.

He was probably our leading scorer in the summer. He’s finally getting back there now in the middle of the season.”

The Chargers hope to return to the district playoffs to see if

OSU men top Trojans 85-70 Associated Press CORVALLIS, Ore. — Southern California coach Andy Enfield says his team needs to focus on defense, especially after giving up 50 points in the paint to Oregon State on Sunday.

“Our lane defense, so to speak, keeping them out of the paint or away from the rim, really broke down,” Enfield said.

Gary Payton II had 22 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and four steals, leading Oregon State over the No. 21 Trojans 85-70.

Elijah Stewart had 16 points and nine rebounds and Katin Reinhardt scored 14 points for the Trojans (15-5, 4-3), who lost both games of their Oregon road trip.

they can make a little run in the postseason.

“We feel like we have the pieces to the puzzle,” Schuh said.

“I think this is the best team that I’ve ever coached, in terms of chemistry, work ethic, closeness.

I’m having a lot of fun coaching these guys. And, yeah, we feel like we could get there and win games.

“We want to continue to get better. We’ve got to find ways to win games in the fourth quarter — I think we know that as a team — but we’re just trying to continue to work hard and put ourselves in a position in the fourth quarter where we’re there.”

Added Taylor Koellmer: “Right now, our main goal is getting into the playoffs. We want to get into the playoffs and see where we go from there.”

Defense leads Broncos to 20-18 win, Super Bowl

By Mark Maske The Washington Post

DENVER — Peyton Manning isn’t quite finished. He wasn’t derailed yet again by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. He had his defense to thank for that.

In a season in which Manning at times looked done, he is back in the Super Bowl. He prevailed here Sunday in his 17th career quarterbacking duel with Brady, aided greatly by an often-overpowering, resilientwhen-needed Denver defense that carried the Broncos to a 20-18 triumph over the Patriots in the AFC title game.

A tense game was not decided until the Patriots failed on an attempt for a tying twopoint conversion in the final seconds, sending Manning to Santa Clara, Calif., to seek his second career Super Bowl victory. The Broncos will face the Carolina Panthers on Feb. 7.

“There’s no question this is a sweet day,” Manning said. “This was a sweet victory. To me, this victory sort of is a great example of what this entire season has been like. It hasn’t been easy.

There’s been a lot of different people stepping up doing their

parts at different times. ... It’s been a unique season. There’s no question about it, and this game today was a unique football game. Everybody did their part. It truly was a team win.”

Manning had a modest 176 passing yards. He threw two touchdown passes, both to tight end Owen Daniels in the first half. The Broncos’ pass rush took it from there. It tormented Brady into a 27-for-56, 310-yard passing day. Brady threw two interceptions, both in the first half, and was sacked four times.

Linebacker Von Miller led the way for Denver with 21⁄2 sacks and an interception. He was credited with four of the Broncos’ 20 hits on Brady. Fellow linebacker DeMarcus Ware hit Brady seven times and had half a sack.

“Unbelievable,” Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib said of the pass rush. “We can’t ask for nothing more than that.”

The Patriots were denied in their bid to make a seventh Super Bowl appearance with Brady and head coach Bill Belichick. They were thwarted on a pair of fourth-down attempts deep in Broncos territory late in the game.

Brady threw a 4-yard,

fourth-down touchdown pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski with 12 seconds remaining in the the fourth quarter. But his two-point conversion pass was tipped and then intercepted by cornerback Bradley Roby. The Broncos recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock with one kneel-down by Manning.

The Patriots’ earlier touchdown came on a first-quarter run by tailback Steven Jackson, but kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed the extra point.

“We were happy we were still in the game the way we were playing offensively,” Brady said.

Brady lost for the seventh time in nine career games in Denver. His career record against Manning dropped to 11-6.

The Broncos, aided by a questionable pass-interference penalty called on the Patriots, went straight down the field for a touchdown on their opening drive. Manning made an ontarget throw to Daniels, who’d gotten open running straight up the seam in the middle of the New England secondary, for the final 21 yards. Manning began the day with only one touchdown pass in Denver this season.

Panthers LB Davis breaks right forearm Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — AllPro linebacker Thomas Davis said he broke his right forearm in the Carolina Panthers’ 49-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC championship game, but said he still plans to play in the Super Bowl.

“It hurt. It was painful,” Davis said. “At the same time I believe in our training staff and I believe in the process. If it is at all possible I know they are going to get me back and I will do my part to make sure I’m ready.”

Davis left the game in the second quarter with six tackles

eighth time.

And while the Broncos’ defense carried it past New England 20-18 for the AFC crown, Carolina’s D was just as destructive. It picked off Carson Palmer four times, forced two fumbles by him, and never let up the assault.

Special teams also had a takeaway, and when Carolina grabbed a 24-7 halftime lead this time, it didn’t back off, as it did in nearly blowing a 31-point margin a week ago against Seattle.

When Newton flew into the end zone for a 12-yard thirdquarter touchdown — no, he didn’t have the cape on — he posed like a superhero, dabbed a bit, and pointed the Panthers toward the Bay Area.

Newton finished with 335 yards passing and 47 rushing as

— including two for a loss. He did not return. He was seen on the sideline with his arm in a sling, but was not wearing it in the locker room after the game.

Davis is one of the toughest players in the NFL, overcoming three torn ACLs to the same knee to become an All-Pro this season.

“I believe in me,” Davis said.

“This is something that if it comes down to a pain tolerance and playing through it, I will be there. I guarantee to you.”

Davis hurt his right arm with 7:28 left in the second quarter when he hit Darren Fells with his right shoulder as Fells jumped into him after a catch.

Davis headed to the sideline with trainers holding his right arm, then went to the locker room.

Defensive tackle Kawann Short said if anyone can make it back it would be Davis.

“I don’t put it past Thomas,” Short said. “Three ACLs. Broken fingers. It hasn’t stopped him yet. You will have to take his jerseys away from him — all five them, even the ones at home. — to before he sits out this game.”

Safety Roman Harper also left the game with an eye injury.

Arizona lost reserve defensive tackle Josh Mauro in the first half to a right calf injury.

Carolina won its 13th straight home game, including three in the playoffs.

One of his biggest helpers was Ted Ginn Jr., who was dumped by the Cardinals after last season. Ginn had a 32-yard punt return to set up his weaving 22-yard TD run, and chased down All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a second-quarter touchdown.

He also had 52 yards on two receptions.

“Yes, it was personal,” Ginn said. “My team knew it was personal.”

Carolina’s defense did the rest, most notably making Palmer uncomfortable in the pocket and turning Larry Fitzgerald, the star of last week’s overtime victory against Green Bay, into a virtual nonentity. It led the league with 39 takeaways, and at times it made an Arizona team that gained more yards than anyone look amateurish.

“We wanted to come out and

play a complete game and I think the guys up front played exceptional,” linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “There was pressure all day.”

Capping the barrage was Kuechly, who returned an interception 22 yards for a score. The 49 points were the most this season for Carolina, which led the NFL with 500.

The last time a team scored as many in a conference title game was 1990: Buffalo 51, the Raiders 3 in the AFC. The scoring started quickly, as it did for the Panthers against the Seahawks. Newton hit four passes for 35 yards on their opening drive and Graham Gano hit from 45 yards for a 3-0 lead.

Criticized for being too conservative against Green Bay, Palmer let it fly from the outset.

He just connected too many times with the Panthers.

“I kept digging us in a hole and we just couldn’t come out of it,” Palmer said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carson Palmer couldn’t hold onto the football against a relentless defense, causing one of the NFL’s best offenses to sputter.

And his defense couldn’t come up with the hard-hitting stops needed to salvage any momentum.

The Arizona Cardinals picked a terrible time — on the road in the NFC championship game, no less — to have a mistake-filled performance.

Palmer had six of the Cardinals’ seven turnovers while the defense had a couple of key missed tackles that led to big plays in the Carolina Panthers’ 49-15 win on Sunday night, sending the Panthers to their second Super Bowl while ending what had been the Cardinals’ winningest season with a thud.

“This is as low as you can feel,” Palmer said in a hushed tone.

“You put so much in and you come in here with such high expectations, and to leave the way we’re leaving just hurts.”

Palmer threw four interceptions and was stripped for a pair of fumbles, while All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson fumbled a punt return in the first half. And many of those miscues helped Carolina roll to a 24-7 halftime lead with an outcome that was — shockingly — never in doubt.

This wasn’t what anyone could have expected from the Cardinals, whose 13 regular-season wins allowed them to dethrone the two-time NFC champion Seattle Seahawks as NFC West champions. And they were in contention for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs until losing at home in a blowout to the Seahawks in the regular-season finale to finish with the NFC’s No. 2 seed behind Carolina.

Still, they entered the playoffs as maybe the most complete team in the league statistically.

They had the league’s No. 2 scoring offense (30.6 points) and top total offense (408.3 yards), while the defense ranked in the top 10 in both scoring (19.6) and total defense (321.7).

That group never showed up in Charlotte.

Palmer was inconsistent in earning his first career playoff win in last week’s overtime thriller against Green Bay in the divisional round. He struggled throughout on Sunday night, constantly shuffling against the oncoming rush and never looking comfortable.

He finished 23 for 40 for 235 yards with one touchdown, throwing a late pick-6 to Luke Kuechly followed by another interception as the game turned into a rout.

“I was definitely forcing it,” Palmer said. “And like I said, I put us in that hole.”

“If you’re not putting a ring on your finger, if that confetti isn’t falling on your head, it’s a bad year,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said.

“You have to look back and see a lot of positive things. To win 14 games, to win a playoff game, to be here in the championship game, those are all positive things.

“But we’re not about that. We’re about winning a championship.”

Panthers are 4-point favorites Associated Press LAS VEGAS — The Carolina Panthers will go to San Francisco favored by more than a field goal to win the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.

Oddsmakers didn’t even wait until the Panthers finished off the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday to install them as favorites for the game against the Denver Broncos two weeks from now. At most books in this gambling city, the Panthers were a 4-point pick, though the early line varied, with the over/under settling in at 45.

“The public normally bets what they saw last and they liked what they saw in the Panthers,” said Jay Kornegay of the Westgate Las Vegas Super Book. “I think the line will settle in at 4 and stay there until Super Bowl weekend.”
