$1M in alleged tear gas death The county admits no fault, but the sheriff’s office has changed the way it disposes of the explosive canisters.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County reached a $1 million settlement this month to end a lawsuit that sought to link a

Darrington man’s death to the disposal of tear gas canisters used by sheriff ’s deputies for training.

Michael Vincent, 67, died about three weeks after a gas cloud erupted in the middle of Darrington on April 28, 2011.

Deputies had disposed of tear gas canisters in a dumpster behind the Darrington Library several days earlier after a training exercise. Michael Some of the can- Vincent isters exploded when a garbage truck emptied the bin and compacted the contents.

Eighteen other people fell ill, but all were treated and released from hospitals the same day, authorities reported at the time.

Vincent suffered from a chronic condition that made it hard for him to breathe. He went into respiratory distress and later died in the hospital, according to attorneys representing his estate.

“One million dollars sends a powerful message, but just

as important were the changes Snohomish County made in the way it handles and disposes of toxic riot-control gas,” said David Brown of the Bellingham firm Brett McCandlis & Brown.

Inslee: Senators ‘out of control’

was “pleased that the investigation has exonerated Chief Gordon.”

The investigator determined there was “no credible evidence” that the chief was intoxicated or impaired. Gordon had ordered a bottle of wine to share with dinner companions. He had one glass and had poured a second glass when he was called to the fire about 7 p.m. Someone else at the table ended up drinking his second glass, witnesses reported.

OLYMPIA — Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and Republican senators exchanged more verbal blows Monday on the ouster of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson, stirring concern the dispute will impede agreement on other matters in the remaining month of the legislative session.

A visibly angry Inslee blasted Republican senators at a morning news conference, calling their vote Friday to fire Peterson a “scurrilous, underhanded and dishonest” election year stunt of which they should be ashamed.

“This was obviously a gross abuse of the confirmation process and was built on a totally false narrative,” Inslee said in his first public comments since the action. “The Senate Republicans are out of control at this moment.”

Twenty-four Republicans and one Democrat who caucuses with them voted to not confirm Peterson’s appointment to the job, which she held for three years.

Deputy Secretary Roger Millar is now running the agency.

During Monday’s news conference, Inslee, who has dueled with Republican senators throughout his first term, called out several by name for “sitting on their hands” and allowing the “decapitation” of the head of one of the state’s most high-profile agencies.

For example, he hammered Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, the leader of the Senate Transportation Committee, for publicly praising Peterson’s leadership Jan. 13, only to vote against her Friday.

“It was the truth on Jan. 13 ... and it was the truth last Friday,” Inslee said.

In a statement Monday afternoon, King said his comments were “hardly a ringing endorsement” and released letters he’d sent

Investigators: Everett fire chief wasn’t drunk

Gordon has been with the department nearly 40 years and has been fire chief since 2001.

He was quoted in a city news release Monday as saying he was looking forward to putting questions about his conduct that night behind him.

Inslee Peter-From Page A1 s o n in which he raised various concerns about agency actions. He also noted in the statement that there’s been no shortage of media attention to problems with state transportation projects.

“Today the governor claimed the rejection of former-Secretary Peterson came as a great shock to him. He must be the only person in Washington who was surprised,” King said. “I think the biggest surprise to drivers in this state is that it took this long for a change to be made.”

Inslee also singled out Sen. Kirk Pearson, R-Monroe, for criticism.

The governor recalled how Pearson publicly thanked Peterson for her work in getting Highway 530 reopened following the deadly Oso mudslide of 2014.

“Not a really good way to say thank you, Sen. Pearson,” Inslee said.

Pearson said he’s never been called out by a governor before.

settlement last week. The payout is being covered by insurance and county risk-management funds.

The county did not admit fault.

However, as a result of the settlement, the sheriff’s office adopted a new policy for disposing of tear-gas canisters, spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The plaintiff’s attorneys had argued that deputies erred by not taking the ordnance to a facility equipped to handle hazardous waste.

The civil disturbance unit that had used the canisters later disbanded for unrelated reasons, Ireton said. It was multijurisdictional team that involved officers from other agencies.

he said. “I got countless calls from constituents with transportation concerns. She just happened to be the secretary.”

About his comments after Oso, he said those pertained to everybody in the department who helped.

In voting to sack Peterson, Republicans said they wanted to bring accountability to state government facing ongoing problems with I-405 express toll lanes and Highway 99 tunneling under downtown Seattle. They’ve denied that election-year politics played a role. Inslee and Democratic lawmakers insist politics is the only reason Peterson was fired.

Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, issued a statement Monday saying Inslee appointees are responsible for resolving high-profile issues at the departments of Transportation, Corrections and Social and Health Services.

On Saturday, Secretary of Corrections Dan Pacholke announced his resignation. He did not indicate if Peterson’s firing influenced his decision, but Pacholke, too, had not yet been confirmed by the Senate.

Vincent’s death isn’t the only one that’s drawn attention to the use of tear gas by law enforcement agencies.

The family of a Jackson, Mississippi, woman who died after a 2006 police raid involving tear gas and pepper spray reached a $2.2 million settlement with that city. A judge later ordered the tear-gas maker to pay the woman’s five children $1.1 million, according to local news reports.

The woman was not involved in criminal activity.

In the Darrington incident, deputies disposed of the canisters in a dumpster behind the library in the early morning of April 22, 2011. The team had been training at a nearby gravel pit. While driving back from the exercise, one deputy began to have symptoms of exposure to tear gas. The decision was made to stop at the fire station in Darrington to decontaminate and

dispose of problem materials, according to court papers.

Deposition testimony suggested that about five household-sized garbage cans full of spent and dud munitions such as pepper spray, tear gas and smoke cannisters went into the dumpster, Conner said.

The gas cloud erupted around 9:45 a.m. almost a week later as a garbage-collection truck emptied the dumpster.

Vincent, who lived along Sauk Avenue across the street from where the dumpster was located, was not at home at the time. He was exposed later in the day after returning home from a visit to the doctor.

statewide. The Senate never confirmed Quigley either.

Overall, fewer than half of Inslee’s current executive cabinet has been confirmed.

“Of course the governor is upset,” Schoesler said. “Three of the biggest state agencies under his control ... have been making headlines because of huge management problems that happened under people he hand-picked — people who are now all gone for one reason or another.”

Filling those openings won’t happen immediately, Inslee said Monday. Interim leaders are in place for Peterson and Quigley; Pacholke is still around to help Inslee with the transition.

Meanwhile, the 60-day legislative session reaches the halfway point Tuesday with palpable tension around the Capitol.

House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, said it may linger but it won’t derail the Legislature.

“All four corners of this building over the years have been guilty of saying something or doing something that gets peoples hackles up,” he said.

“I think what this does do is make some of the conversations

for the estate.

Conner described Michael Vincent as a pillar of the Darrington community.

He is survived by his wife, Michelle, four children and 11 grandchildren. He served with the Darrington Volunteer Fire Department, where he was fire chief for seven years and helped start a cadet program.

The awareness of the potential dangers of tear gas were all the more important to the family because the Vincents’ two sons are Border Patrol agents.

“It was an honor to fight for such a wonderful family and help them get closure for their terrible loss,” Conner said. “I hope law enforcement agencies around the country take notice of how dangerous tear gas can be.”

more awkward, It makes some of the negotiations a little more intense,” Kristiansen said. “We’ll get over it. Everyone wants to get out of here in 60 days.”

Inslee and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate said they intend to keep pushing their agenda to come up with a plan to fund public schools, improve mental health services and reduce homelessness during the session.

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan,D-Covington, said lawmakers can’t spend the remainder of the session talking about dual investigations of the Department of Corrections and firing of the transportation secretary.

“I know my constituents aren’t going to take that very well,” he said.

Even Inslee, after unleashing his fusillade of criticism at Republican senators, talked of focusing on policies for the state.

“We need to look for the better angels of our nature. We need to continue to work together,” he said. “As long as I am governor we will keep our eye on the ball to get these jobs done.”

Marysville doc loses license over opioids

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The state Department of Health has permanently revoked the medical license of Dr. Ann C. Kammeyer — one of only 18 physicians whose license has been revoked in Washington since 2008.

The action was taken by the state’s Medical Commission, which licenses medical professionals and reviews complaints against them.

The commission found that

Kammeyer, of Marysville, had committed unprofessional conduct by improperly prescribing opioid medications to multiple patients.

A commission document outlining its findings said Kammeyer had been prescribing pain medications to patients with insufficient and often missing diagnoses, treatment plans, charting, monitoring, pain management referrals and insufficient safeguards to minimize the risk of drug diversion and abuse. This created “an unreasonable and

imminent risk of harm and/or death to patients,” the document says.

An autopsy report of a patient’s accidental death in 2015 was caused by acute mixed drug intoxication of three pain medications.

This included a long-acting opioid pain medication, according to the state document. All of these medications were prescribed by Kammeyer in excessive amounts, it says.

The patient had been treated by Kammeyer by 14 years for chronic pain, fibromyalgia and mental

illness. The state said that the high doses of multiple pain medications “was excessive and far below the standard of care.”

The state suspended Kammeyer’s license in September. Her Marysville practice is closed.

Kammeyer waived her right to a hearing on the case and was not represented by an attorney.

She did send a letter to the state agency in October. In it, Kammeyer, a family practice physician, said that about half of her patients came to her for relief of pain symptoms. Many of these

Glass quest, goose fest

patients had to continue working, often at jobs that aggravated their pain, the letter says.

In the case of the patient’s death, Kammeyer said that the patient was accustomed to taking opioid medications after years of dealing with severe pain. “Unless she took extra she would not have died from it,” the letter says.

Kammeyer said that if she was younger and stronger she would have challenged the state’s action.

Search for clues, win some floats and watch a few birds

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Annual February festivities are back with new locations to explore during the Great Northwest Glass Quest and new tours and talks for bird enthusiasts during the Port Susan Snow Goose Festival.

The glass quest starts Friday and continues until Feb. 21. During the 10-day quest, plastic clue balls are hidden at businesses and parks around Stanwood and Camano Island. Anyone who finds a clue ball can trade it in for a handblown glass float created by local artists Mark Ellinger and

his son, Marcus.

It’s the seventh annual glass quest and about 45 businesses are participating this year, coordinator Gayle Picken said. Some hide clue balls at their businesses and others sponsor them at local parks. Real estate companies can hide the balls in open houses they host during the 10-day quest.

“That is the nice thing about the quest is each business has its own spin to put on it,” Picken said.

Several new locations have been added to this year’s guidebook, which is available online at thegreatnwglassquest.com or at

participating local businesses.

Church Creek, Lake Goodwin and Wenberg parks are new this year, as are two recently opened businesses in Stanwood: Gather Market and Salt and Thistle.

Also new this year is an interactive online map that can direct people to the nearest glass quest location from their tablet or smartphone. That can be found at explorecamanoisland.com.

Clue balls are replenished throughout each day of the glass quest so people have a fair chance no matter when they go questing, Picken said. There are more than 325 custom glass floats to win.

“We just encourage everyone to explore somewhere new, a new park or new business,” Picken said. “Just go in with the mindset that this is an adventure and be ready to explore.”

A week after the end of the glass quest, the Port Susan Snow Goose Festival begins. The festival, which is Feb. 27 and 28, has new attractions and returning favorites in store for its 11th year.

EVERETT — An Everett man who attacked three people near the Everett Gospel Mission was ordered to undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations once he’s released from prison.

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Janice Ellis recently sentenced the man to four years behind bars for the Dec. 10 violence.

Thomas Wenger, 46, pleaded guilty last month to seconddegree assault. It is his eighth felony conviction.

Wenger’s criminal history dates back to the late 1980s and mainly consists of drug and property crimes.

Prosecutors alleged that Wenger’s behavior escalated late last year when he confronted people with a large knife, including two men from a church group who were handing out food to the homeless near the men’s shelter.

The attacks were unprovoked.

One victim reported that he was walking in the 3600 block of Smith Avenue when Wenger ambushed him and shoved him to the ground. Wenger swung a knife at the man’s face several times.

The victim was able to escape without being seriously hurt.

Another man reported that he and his church group were providing food to transients when he was attacked. He first saw Wenger punch his friend in the face after the man offered the suspect some food.

That man declined to provide police with a statement.

The other man reported that Wenger swung a knife at him when he attempted to help his friend up.

He “thought he might be killed by the defendant’s actions,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Toni Montgomery wrote in court papers.

Everett police officers stepped up patrols in the area months ago when business owners and neighbors complained about a spike in assaults, drug deals and trespassing in the area.

Officers also teamed up with a county social worker to offer services to those in need.

Additional efforts are being made to find housing for some of the city’s most frequent users of emergency services.

She alleged that the government knew her staff embezzled from her and continued to allow it to occur. She also said she

was told by patients that employees were selling drugs and prescriptions out the back door of her office and questioned what was being done about those actions.

“Let it suffice to know

that you have continued to make it harder and harder for legitimate sufferers to get help,” the letter adds. “I hope you find out just how miserable that is.”

necessary to revoke her license was the gravity of her unprofessional conduct, which involved multiple patients, the intentional nature of it, that she had inadequate education, training and

experience in pain management and that she prescribed pain medications to a fictitious patient.

Vasiliy Baranyuk is back to speak this year about his studies on the behaviors and migrations of snow geese. That’s always a well-attended talk, Byers said. Other popular

presentations include one about swans, shorebird identification and wildlife photography. Sarvey Wildlife Center also is scheduled to be there with birds of prey for people to see up close.

The glass quest gets a short revival this year

during the Snow Goose Festival, when clue balls will be hidden at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center both days of the event. The Floyd, at 27130 102nd Ave NW, is the headquarters for the festival. People can pick up maps there for selfguided bird tours.

“People come from all over the country to bird in our back yard,” Byers said.

“So if people want to understand the attraction, this is a chance to learn more about it.”

Organizers ask that visitors be respectful of private property when they are

bird watching or taking photographs. Flocks of snow geese often gather on farmers’ fields and people shouldn’t pull over on the side of narrow roads, park on private drives or trespass in the fields to see them.

Man imprisoned for ‘torturing’ teen who stole his gun Root rot Associated Press

LYNDEN — A Whatcom County man accused of torturing a teen who stole his gun and fired it at a

park has been sentenced to one year in prison. The News Tribune reported Larry Whitman was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to unlawful

imprisonment, theft and assault, amounting to “torture.”

Whitman had confronted the teen after the boy stole his gun and used

it in August at a Bellingham park. No one was injured in the shooting. Court documents say Whitman took the boy to his shed, made him unclothe and put him

in a freezer full of rotting meat. The teen has pleaded guilty to stealing Whitman’s pistol and remains in juvenile detention for the park shooting.

Police investigate fatal shooting of man in Mount Vernon Associated Press MOUNT VERNON — Police are investigating after a 22-year-old man was shot

KOMO-TV reported that officers were called Sunday after a report of shots fired. A homeowner was

watching a group of people in a car that he didn’t recognize and there was a confrontation between the homeowner and one

of the passengers. Lt. Chris Cammock said the group drove away but circled back toward the homeowner, who said he felt threatened

and fired shots at the vehicle. The man who fired the shots is cooperating with investigators and no arrests have been made.

TACOMA — A California arborist says the tree that fell and killed a Washington man over the summer had root rot disease, making it more likely to fall in high winds.

The News Tribune reported that a report from certified arborist Ruben Green says the tree should have been inspected and identified as a risk. He found that about 60 percent of the tree’s root structure was missing or compromised.

The Douglas fir was growing at Heron’s Key, a senior living community under development in Gig Harbor.

It blew over during an Aug. 29 windstorm and crashed onto Jamie Fay’s car. His 3-year-old daughter was also in the vehicle but was not injured. Green was hired

by Fay’s family. Attorney John Ladenburg Sr. released the report Feb. 5.

Last-minute sprint in N.H. Independent, unpredictable state holds nation’s first primary today

By Dan Balz and Philip Rucker The Washington Post

MANCHESTER, N.H. — With a snowstorm bearing down, presidential candidates scurried across New Hampshire on Monday, leveling inflammatory attacks against one another while pleading with voters for their support in Tuesday’s primary election.

New York businessman Donald Trump held a sizable lead in the Republican race and appeared poised to win his first contest of the 2016 campaign after finishing second in Iowa a week ago. But behind Trump, five other candidates waged a fierce battle for top-tier finishes and the bragging rights and resources that could come with them when the campaign heads next to South Carolina.

In the Democratic race, Sen. Bernie Sanders maintained his double-digit lead over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. After winning narrowly in Iowa, Clinton was bracing for defeat here and hoping to keep the damage contained.

Sanders is capitalizing in part on the fact that he represents a neighboring state, Vermont, though his campaign has been fueled more by widespread discontent with the political system among many liberals and the enthusiasm of young voters for the promise of a “political revolution.”

In diners, on factory floors and at big rallies, the candidates encountered voters who had yet to make up their minds — a reminder that New Hampshire is a state where voters have sprung surprises in the closing days of past presidential primaries.

The Democratic side was hardly harmonious. Sanders has attacked Clinton repeatedly for her long ties to Wall Street and her acceptance of campaign contributions and personal speaking fees from major financial firms.

On Monday, Clinton tried to turn the tables, portraying Sanders as hypocritical because he had accepted “about $200,000” from Wall Street firms through the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver called that suggestion “false” and “beyond preposterous.”

Clinton’s husband, Bill, effectively hurled the kitchen sink at Sanders in a speech Sunday, accusing Sanders’s followers of sexism and his campaign of fabricated attacks.

Iraqi woman charged in U.S. hostage death WASHINGTON — The wife of a senior Islamic State leader killed in a U.S. raid in June has been charged in federal court with contributing to the death of American hostage Kayla Mueller, the Justice Department said Monday.

A criminal complaint accuses Nisreen Assad Ibrahim Bahar, also known as Umm Sayyaf, and her husband of holding Mueller captive, where officials say she was repeatedly forced to have sex with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group. The case was brought in Virginia, though Umm Sayyaf is in Iraqi custody and facing prosecution there. Justice Department officials say they support that prosecution, but they’ll continue to “pursue justice for Kayla.”

Attendees listen as former President Bill Clinton, accompanied by his daughter, Chelsea, speaks at a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton at Manchester Community College in Manchester, N.H., on Monday.

Sanders, Kasich collect first votes DIXVILLE, N.H. — Bernie Sanders and John Kasich picked up the most votes as the first ballots of the first-in-the-nation primary were cast early Tuesday. Sanders won over all four Democratic voters in the tiny town of Dixville, while Kasich sneaked past Donald Trump, 3-2, among Republicans.

Under New Hampshire law, communities with fewer than 100 voters can open their polls at midnight and close them as soon as all registered voters have cast their ballots. While that happened in three locations, Dixville traditionally gets most of the spotlight due to its media-friendly setup at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel.

Hart’s Location, about 80 miles south of Dixville, has 41 registered voters. Millsfield has 22 registered voters. Their results were not available at press time.

Associated Press

But the former president showed considerable restraint Monday and described his weekend outburst as the emotions of a worried spouse.

“The hotter this election gets, the more I wish I was just a former president and, just for a few months, not the spouse of the next one,” he said. “I have to be careful what I say.”

The race seemed to be Sanders’s to lose. At his stops on Monday, he did not directly criticize his opponent, instead restating his broad assault on the corrupting influence of money in politics and the power and wealth of Wall Street and corporate America.

For Republicans, the campaign trail Monday was like a game of political billiards, with attacks flying fast and in all directions. Jeb Bush fired at Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio. Chris Christie savaged Rubio, and Rubio smacked back. And Trump

slammed Bush and Cruz.

New Hampshire polls have shown Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Bush in a jumble for second place behind Trump, with Christie, the New Jersey governor, lagging in sixth place.

Kicking off the day at a town hall meeting in Salem, Trump accused Cruz, the senator from Texas and winner of the Iowa caucuses, of being “politically correct” and “very queasy” on the issue of interrogation of terrorism suspects. Then he cut into Bush, calling him a “stiff” and accusing him of acting like a “spoiled child.”

Aiming for the jugular, Trump said on CNN that Bush “has to bring his mother out and lug his mother around at 90 years old. I think it’s a very sad situation.”

Bush offered a Trump-style retort on the mogul’s preferred mode of communication, tweeting at him, “you aren’t just a loser, you are a liar and

a whiner.”

For the Republicans, the character of the race appeared to change over the weekend after a debate in which Rubio faltered in the face of blistering attacks from Christie. The senator from Florida appeared to have gained some momentum from his strong third-place finish in Iowa, but the question was whether his debate foible set him back and how much of an opening it gave Christie, as well as Ohio Gov. Kasich and former Florida Gov. Bush.

Rubio sought to stoke positive energy as he stopped by his campaign headquarters in Manchester to give a pep talk to volunteers.

Walking into the office to chants of “Marco! Marco!,” the senator said his campaign here was “closing really strong.”

He noted that supporters had descended on New Hampshire from far and wide. “It’s huuuge,” he said, doing his best Trump impersonation.

Cruz, who spent the end of his Iowa campaign in a rhetorical splatter-fight with Trump, closed out his New Hampshire tour with only sparing mention of his rivals.

But he appeared to be laying the groundwork for a debate over women in the armed forces that he might push more aggressively once the campaign moves to South Carolina, which has a large military presence and holds its GOP primary Feb. 20. On Monday in Barrington, Cruz insisted that Republicans who refused to rule out a military draft for women — as some of his opponents have — were “nuts.”

Obama seeks $1.8B to combat Zika virus

By Kevin Freking Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is asking Congress for more than $1.8 billion in emergency funding to fight the Zika virus and the mosquitoes that spread it here and abroad, but says “there shouldn’t be a panic on this.”

The virus is spreading rapidly through Latin America.

While most people experience either mild or no symptoms, Zika is suspected of causing a devastating birth defect — babies born with abnormally small heads — and pregnant Americans are urged to avoid travel to affected areas.

U.S. health officials say the money is critical for research into the birth defect known as microcephaly. They also want to speed development of a vaccine and better diagnostic tests, and expand mosquito control programs. Some of the money would aid Zika-stricken countries and territories.

“What we now know is that there appears to be some significant risk for pregnant women and women who are thinking about having a baby,” Obama said Monday on “CBS

ACROSS THE U.S.

ANDRE PENNER / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A technician from the British biotechnology company Oxitec releases genetically modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are a vector for transmitting the Zika virus in Piracicaba, Brazil, on Monday.

This Morning.”

And while experts don’t expect large outbreaks in the continental U.S., the emergency funding also would help them prepare for any local transmission as spring and summer approach.

The administration is seeking the Zika money separately from the regular budget for the next fiscal year, which Obama will submit to Congress on Tuesday.

“For the average American, this is not something that will

change our day-to-day life,” Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at a White House briefing. “Our focus is on protecting pregnant women and trying to control the mosquito.”

Most of the money would go to health officials for such things as improving laboratory testing capacity, education and establishing rapid response teams.

About $250 million of assistance would be directed specifically to Puerto Rico

though extra Medicaid funding for health services, and $200 million would go toward research and commercialization of new vaccines and diagnostic tests.

The remainder, about $335 million, would go to the U.S. Agency for International Development to help affected countries.

Also Monday, the CDC said its emergency operations center, a command center that has been coordinating the Zika response, was being put on its highest level of alert.

The Pan American Health Organization reports 26 countries and territories in South and Central America and the Caribbean with local Zika transmission.

To date, there has been no transmission of the Zika virus by mosquitoes within the U.S., but some American travelers — 50 with laboratory-confirmed cases between December and last week — have returned home with the infection.

Zika usually is transmitted through bites from the Aedes aegypti species, which is found in Florida, along the Gulf Coast and in states that border Mexico.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch plans to visit six cities to highlight police departments she sees as role models for law enforcement. The locations were chosen because they embody a particular trait of successful policing, such as effective use of data, strong community relationships or a commitment to officer safety, Lynch said Monday. The first visit is planned for Thursday and Friday to Miami-Dade County in Florida. The other locations are Portland, Oregon; Indianapolis; Fayetteville, North Carolina; Phoenix and Los Angeles.

Calif.: Gas leak evacuees Southern California Gas Co. has agreed to give Los Angeles residents displaced by a massive gas leak much more time to return to their homes once the well is plugged. The utility and city attorney Monday announced an agreement to allow residents to take up to eight days to move back to their homes rather than 48 hours. SoCalGas has been paying to relocate nearly 5,700 households from the Porter Ranch area.

The leak at an underground gas storage facility was detected in October.

Mass.: More snow on way The second winter storm in four days to hit the Northeast centered on New England on Monday, bringing high winds and coastal flooding and threatening Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts with up to 18 inches of snow. The storm could last into Tuesday. The storm led to accidents, including in Connecticut, where a charter bus crashed in Madison. At least 30 people were injured, including six of them critically.

AROUND THE WORLD Canada: Ending air strikes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced that the country will end air strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq by Feb. 22, saying that “the people terrorized

by ISIL every day don’t need our vengeance, they need our help.” Trudeau also announced that the government will expand efforts to train local forces and rebuild the war-torn region.

Military personnel in the region will increase to 830 from the current 650 and provide planning, targeting and intelligence expertise.

Taiwan: Quake rescues Rescuers searched for survivors Tuesday in a high-rise apartment complex in Tainan that was toppled three days earlier by a powerful earthquake. The death toll in Saturday’s disaster stood at 40, while 320 people had been rescued, the city government said on its official website. More than 100 people are believed to still be under the debris.

All but two of the casualties in the quake were recorded in the collapse of Tainan’s Weiguan Golden Dragon 17-story complex.

Hong Kong: Protesters, police battle over vendors Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year celebration descended into chaotic scenes as protesters and police clashed over a street market selling holiday delicacies, leaving dozens injured and arrested.

The violence is the worst in Hong Kong since pro-democracy protests rocked the city in 2014. Activists angered over authorities’ attempts to crack down on the holiday food hawkers in a crowded Kowloon neighborhood fought with police into the early morning hours of Tuesday.

WSU brings software engineering here The Herald Business Journal EVERETT — Students can now apply for a software engineering program to be offered starting this fall at Washington State University in Everett.

The number of students accepted into the program depends upon the level of interest.

It will be the fifth degree program offered at WSU North Puget Sound.

Software engineering is a twoyear, full-time bachelor’s degree

completion program available for transfer students. Students will attend lecture and laboratory courses at the University Center located on the Everett Community College campus.

“WSU North Puget Sound at Everett, working with all the University Center partners, is creating more and more exciting opportunities for students in Snohomish, Island and Skagit counties to pursue their highereducation dreams and succeed in the 21st Century workforce,” Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson

said in a statement.

The software engineering courses will be taught in person

by WSU faculty, via interactive video from WSU Pullman and online through the university’s Global Campus program.

The degree focuses on advanced courses on software development, testing, maintenance and management — all specialties of high demand among computer and IT industries.

Students who apply early have the best opportunities for

financial aid.

WSU began offering classes for a mechanical engineering degree through the University Center in 2012. The center is a WSU-managed collaboration of public and private colleges based on the EvCC campus.

Two years later, WSU launched bachelor’s degree programs in electrical engineering, communications and hospitality-business management.

In June, the university received money to add courses in software engineering and data analytics.

Winners and losers

Advertisers risked millions to showcase their products during the Super Bowl.

By Mae Anderson Associated Press

NEW YORK — With 30-second Super Bowl ads costing up to $5 million, it’s a huge gamble to advertise. As the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers, there were winners and losers off the field, too.

During the game, people spent 300,000 hours watching Super Bowl ads and teaser videos.

Overall they have been viewed more than 330 million times, with 60 percent of that coming from mobile devices — the first time the majority of views have happened on mobile, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Electronic gear shifters on some newer Fiat Chrysler SUVs and cars are so confusing that drivers have exited the vehicles with the engines running and while they are still in gear, causing crashes and serious injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stopped short of seeking a recall.

The Federal Aviation Administration says there are now more registered drone operators in the U.S. than there are licensed pilots. FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told a legal forum Monday that the agency passed the milestone last week when it topped 325,000 registered drone owners. There are 320,000 licensed pilots of manned aircraft.

MICHELLE SINGLETARY

NEW YORK — Chipotle postponed opening all its U.S. restaurants for four hours Monday as executives went over new food safety procedures with its employees.

The presentation for workers comes after Chipotle has been slammed by a series of food scares. Co-CEO Monty Moran noted two of the four incidents were the result of norovirus, which is typically caused by sick workers. He urged workers to stay home if they feel ill.

Apollo Education is being taken private in a $1.1 billion deal by a consortium led by private investment firm The Vistria Group. The announcement comes about a month after the owner of the University of Phoenix and Western International University signaled that it may be looking for a buyer.

By Jennifer C. Kerr WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is taking new steps to protect students amid increased scrutiny of for-profit colleges and other schools.

The Education Department said Monday that it was creating a new student aid enforcement unit that will “respond more quickly and efficiently to allegations of illegal actions by higher education institutions.”

Critics have complained the government didn’t move swiftly enough to take action against for-profit schools like Corinthian Colleges, which filed for bankruptcy protection last year amid fraud allegations, closing schools and leaving thousands of students with hefty student debt and frustrated efforts at earning degrees.

“When Americans invest their time, money and effort to gain new skills, they have a right to expect they’ll actually get an education that leads to a better life for them and their families,” said Acting Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. “Schools looking to cheat students and taxpayers will be held accountable.”

The new unit, about 50 people to start, will investigate potential abuse and fraud and will be led by a former Federal Trade Commission enforcement attorney, Robert Kaye. It will pull staff from some existing department offices and add additional personnel. The realignment will use existing funding resources for now.

As part of his 2017 budget, President Barack Obama is requesting more than $13 million in additional federal money to strengthen enforcement and oversight of the billions of dollars in student financial grants and loans that

The recent negativity shown toward many Internet companies hit Twitter hard Monday, as the social-media leader’s stock price fell to its lowest level ever ahead of its upcoming quarterly earnings report.

Twitter shares fell more than 5 percent, to $14.87, hitting their lowest point since the company went public in November 2013. The losses added to Twitter’s stock-price downfall, which has shaved more than 67 percent off the company’s market value over the last year.

Aircraft emissions A U.N. panel Monday proposed long-sought greenhouse gas emissions standards for airliners and cargo planes beginning in 2020 for new aircraft designs and three years later for designs already in production. The International Civil Aviation Organization said the agreement reached by 170 international experts sets a cutoff date of 2028 for the manufacture of planes that don’t comply with the standards. The standard must still be adopted by the agency’s 36-nation governing council.

Environmental groups said the new standards are not stringent enough to meaningfully reduce pollution or slow climate change.

IN OUR VIEW | State transportation chief’s firing

Where we lack accountability To listen to Republicans in the Legislature, there’s an accountability problem in state government.

It’s why majority Republicans and the one Democrat who caucuses with them ousted Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson on Friday by voting to reject her nomination for the post that she has held for three years.

And it’s why Dan Pacholke, secretary of the Department of Corrections, sensing he might be next, resigned his post a day later. Pacholke was appointed to his office in October when Gov. Jay Inslee asked him to delay his retirement from the agency he had served for 33 years.

“I hope it helps meet your need for blood,” Pacholke wrote to a Republican senator, The Herald’s Jerry Cornfield reported Saturday.

Dramatic, sure, but not without reason to Democrats in Olympia who believe Peterson’s firing and the reported recent badgering of Pacholke before a joint committee meeting have more to do with election year politics than fixing problems in state government.

Pacholke inherited the mess involving a software failure that led to the state releasing more than 3,200 prisoners

earlier than intended since 2002 because they were given time off for good behavior they were ineligible for. It was a problem that the agency was alerted to in 2012 during his predecessor’s tenure.

Like Pacholke, Peterson also inherited a problem-plagued agency. Among Transportation’s higher-profile struggles were delays on the Highway 520 floating bridge, the oftstalled Highway 99 tunneling project in Seattle and most recently the high-occupancy toll lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue.

Only the I-405 toll lane delays occurred on Peterson’s watch, but the lanes were a project supported by Democrats and Republicans when pitched in 2011. Peterson’s department moved to fix problems with traffic delays after the lanes were first added late last year. Bus commuters and drivers were seeing shorter commutes in the morning, but drivers in northbound lanes are delayed near I-405’s bottleneck at Bothell during the evening commute.

The construction of a directaccess interchange in Bothell might have solved the issue, but legislators didn’t include the funding in the transportation package passed last year.

What Peterson was

responsible for was the quick response of her agency to restore two vital transportation links following the 2014 Oso landslide to rebuild Highway 530 and the replacement of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River after a over-height truck caused its collapse in 2013.

Fishing for a reason to dismiss her, Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, went as far as calling Peterson “a racist” because the state Civil Rights Coalition sent a letter to the speaker of the House regarding concerns over agency policies on contracting with minority-owned businesses. That’s a long distance to travel even when you’re talking about transportation. Schoesler didn’t apologize but later said he regretted what he had said.

As well, Peterson was dismissed without being given an opportunity to defend her record, nor was she given the chance to resign or withdraw her nomination.

The high-profile dismissal could reflect poorly on the stability of the state’s transportation department and its projects, including the $16 billion package that Peterson help the Legislature assemble last year. The state is preparing to seek bonds to cover the first

projects in that package, and the turmoil could be seen as a problem by investment firms and could result in higher interest costs for the state.

Including the departure of Kevin Quigley, secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services, itself in the process of reforms, the state’s three largest agencies will be left with interim chiefs for months. Finding permanent replacements may have to wait until after the November election. Even then the ranks of qualified applicants may be thinned by a reluctance to deal with the current turmoil here.

Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, made clear his intentions in a tweet after Peterson’s firing: “Note to other Inslee Appointees: Shape up, Do your job. Serve the people w/accountability.

Or more heads are going to roll.”

Recall that the state Senate’s current plans would give itself two more years to fix funding of basic education for K-12 schools and end the reliance on local school levies. And remember the $100,000-a-day fine the state Supreme Court levied against the Legislature last year because it has failed to come up with an adequate plan.

That’s good advice, senator.

national political parties don’t change the process, then Congress should step in and make the system fair.

inaccurate to state that it’s the toll lanes that have improved bus times unless you clarify how much the times are for the two sections — the converted existing HOV and the section that has had an additional capacity lane added, but in either case; I would speculate that it’s the addition of the capacity lane that improved travel times south of Bothell, not the addition of tolls.

Again I want to emphasis I am not against tolls, they have many attributes, but believe as a scientist that statistical data should be qualified to truly identify what the cause and impact/benefit are rather than lumping the capacity project in with the toll lane project to get a general answer that may paint a distorted picture.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT

Bridge necessary, fully explained Regarding the letter, “Concerns with costly bridge plan”: I would first love to know why The Herald let the letter writer on Sunday have 337 words when the limit is 250 words or less!?

Second, the letter is almost comical, considering this plan has been talked about and discussed since the fall of 2013 when the storms of Aug. 31 and Sept. 4, 2013, caused the combined sewer/storm water system from 47th Street north, to become overwhelmed and back up into over 100 basements, plus overflow from this combined system came up out of the manhole covers as well, onto streets and into homes.

Articles in The Herald, Everett City Council, and numerous neighborhood meetings have covered the reasoning why this project is necessary. I mean seriously, has the letter writer not seen the pipe replacement work that has been going on since May 2015 in north Everett? The pipes going over the railroad tracks are for stormwater only and seriously, did this letter writer really go to the Public Works Open House on Jan. 25 and not get all these points answered?

The project is Sewer Project “M.” It’s been in the works for at least three years if not more. Go to the city of Everett website. It’s all there: https:// everettwa.gov/377/Sewer-System-Improvements-M-Project.

And I was able to get to the correct facts in 223 words, no less!

Time to change unfair system Why do 48 states allow Iowa and New Hampshire to always have the first say in presidential elections? It’s blatantly unfair.

The Constitution doesn’t give those two states a higher status.

Washington or Connecticut occasionally get the same amount of attention?

New Hampshire and Iowa set the tone for the rest of the race. Many candidates drop out if they don’t do well in those two states. This happens again and again, every four years. Why can’t Maryland or Wisconsin ever wield similar make-or-break powers?

If Americans want two states with smaller populations to always vote first, then why not let Delaware and Montana go first in 2020? How about Kansas and Maine in 2024? Virginia and Wyoming in 2028? Or we could have rotating regional primaries, perhaps with the Northeast voting first in 2020, the Northwest voting first in 2024, etc.

State must collect statistical data

Regarding the Jan. 10 Street Smarts column, “Relief for north end of I-405 is a long way off”: I am a little concerned that the whole picture hasn’t been discussed. I’m not against the toll roads, but believe the verdict is still out, and all the information should be in front of voters and the Legislature when the demonstration project is up for review in a couple of years.

Also that information should be scientifically collected before the bus shoulder lanes are added.

As I understand the I-405 project improvements there were two parts. The first was the addition of a lanes between Bothell (Highway 527) and Bellevue NE Sixth. I understand that road capacity improvement cost was about $460 million. (see clarification/question in following sentences). The second project was to convert the existing HOV lane between I-5 and Bellevue, plus the additional capacity lane to being toll roads for $155 million. I cannot tell, and couldn’t find out if the $155 million was part of the $460 million or in addition. In either case, I think it’s

Obama knows what he’s doing; does Rubio?

I

t’s time for establishment Republicans to face the truth about Marco Rubio: Once you get past the facade, there appears to be no there there.

The void behind his prettified rhetoric was stunningly revealed in Saturday night’s debate.

Rubio sounded like a malfunctioning EUGENE ROBINSON cyborg as he kept repeating one of his prepared lines.

Asked to list his accomplishments in the Senate, he tried to name a few but was wise to change the subject. But he did so with an oddly phrased swipe at the president: “And let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.” I guess that’s supposed to be a bad thing.

Chris Christie barged in with a tough attack on Rubio’s lack of experience.

Rubio’s response: “Let’s dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

A former prosecutor, Christie persisted by charging that well-honed speeches don’t solve anyone’s problems. Rubio’s retort: “Here’s the bottom line. This notion that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing is just not true. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

“There it is!” exulted Christie, having maneuvered the defendant into confessing on the witness stand. “There it is, the memorized 25-second speech. There it is, everybody.”

Rubio’s weak attempt at a comeback demands to be quoted at length: “Well, that’s the — that’s the reason why this campaign is so important. Because I think this notion — I think this is an important point. We have to understand what we’re going through here. We are not facing a president that doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows what he is doing. That’s why he’s done the things he’s done.”

That’s four times, within the course of a brief exchange, that Rubio offered the same snippet of focus-tested rhetoric about Obama being a purposeful president. Why? Two reasons, I think. He couldn’t come up with a way to defend a negligible record and he had nothing to say beyond what he had planned to say.

But wait, there’s more: Later in the debate, after Christie had swiped at Rubio for disowning his own comprehensive “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Rubio returned to the well yet again. “Well, here’s the response,” he said. “I think anyone who believes that Barack Obama isn’t doing what he’s doing on purpose doesn’t understand what we’re dealing with here, OK?” Moderator David Muir deadpanned, “The governor wasn’t talking about the president, he was talking about the Gang of Eight bill.” The audience applauded.

I dwell on this weirdly robotic performance because it was so revealing. Rubio became the darling of the Republican establishment because of his youth, his looks, his inspiring life story, his adherence to GOP orthodoxy and, perhaps above all, his compelling way with words. No one else in the generally dour and angry field has his ability to paint a hopeful future.

A general election contest that pits either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders against Rubio, many leading Republicans believe, would be like asking voters to choose between yesterday and tomorrow.

It’s true that much of what is said about Rubio — first-term senator, slender legislative record, brilliant speaker — was also said about Obama. But the president, as Rubio repeatedly pointed out, is a man of substance and intention. He also happens to be a man who never flashes a deer-inthe-headlights look and repeats one of his talking points nonsensically.

Rubio’s display bolsters the narrative of a talented and ambitious young man in far too much of a hurry, programmed to say what he thinks voters want to hear.

Is he deep and substantial enough to be president? Judging from the post-debate buzz, much of the conservative commentariat is asking that question.

Rubio’s brain-lock, if that’s what it was, happened at an unfortunate moment for his prospects. He was billing his third-place showing in Iowa as a win, judged against expectations, and hoping for enough of a surge in New Hampshire to drive other establishment hopefuls out of the race.

On Saturday night, though, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Christie all seemed plausibly presidential. Rubio, with his canned loop of pre-cooked rhetoric, seemed anything but.

Icky hero: Roach-like robots may help in disasters

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When buildings collapse in future disasters, the hero helping rescue trapped people may be a robotic cockroach.

Repulsive as they may be, roaches have the remarkable ability to squish their bodies down to one quarter their normal size, yet still scamper at lightning speed. Also, they can withstand 900 times their body weight without being hurt. That’s equivalent to a 200-pound man who wouldn’t be crushed by 90 tons on his head.

The amazing cockroach inspired scientists to create a mini-robot that can mimic those feats of strength and agility.

The researchers hope swarms of future roach-like robots could be fitted with cameras, microphones

vehicle, according to public records obtained by The Herald.

Because questions about his sobriety that night weren’t raised for days there was no blood or breath test taken that evening.

Instead, the law firm interviewed 23 witnesses, nearly all of whom reported no obvious signs that Gordon was intoxicated.

The witnesses included firefighters, police officers and chaplains who were on scene that night, as well as people who had been with him at dinner in south Everett.

and other sensors and then used in earthquakes and other disasters to help search for victims by squeezing through small cracks. The skittering robots could also let rescuers know if the rubble pile is stable.

Cockroaches “seem to be able to go anywhere,” said University of California at Berkeley biology professor Robert Full, co-author of a study about the prototype cockroach robot. “I think they’re really disgusting and really revolting, but they always tell us something new.”

The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The palm-size prototype, called the Compressible Robot with Articulated Mechanisms, or CRAM, looks more like an armadillo and walks sort of like

At least three police officers who interacted with Gordon that night said he didn’t seem intoxicated.

City policies say that employees must not show up for work under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The policy doesn’t define when someone is considered intoxicated.

City employees can be fired if they come to work with a blood-alcohol content of .04 — half of the legal limit to drive.

The firefighters union, Local 46, and the chief have a history of clashes.

The union accused the city of a double standard for keeping Gordon at work during the investigation.

Anyone else likely would have been put on paid leave.

Union President Paul Gagnon on Monday said

Charlie Chaplin when it’s compressed. It’s about 20 times the size of the roach that inspired it. And it’s simple and cheap.

Co-author Kaushik Jayaram, a Harvard robotics researcher, said the most difficult part was the design, but after that he

used off-the-shelf electronics and motors, cardboard, polyester and some knowledge of origami. He could probably put one together in about half an hour, he estimated.

All told, the prototype probably cost less than $100, Jayaram said. He

figures if mass-produced, with sensors and other equipment added on, the robots could eventually cost less than $10 apiece.

In the past, when engineers looked at trying to create robots that could get into tight places, they thought about shapechanging soft animals like worms, slugs or octopuses, Full said.

But the cockroach has certain advantages, including crush-resistance and speed.

The American cockroach can travel 50 body lengths in a second, which would be the equivalent of a human running more than 140 mph, Full said. When compressed, the cockroach slows to 20 body lengths per second, which is still pretty fast.

Full and colleagues found roaches used a newly identified type

that administrators should be held to the same standards as employees, and the recent issues highlight problems that need correcting.

Firefighters support a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol in the workplace, he said.

“Such a policy should apply equally to the fire department’s top officers who are charged with oncall duties or responding to an active emergency,” Gagnon said. “The public and the firefighters who serve and protect them expect nothing less.”

Gordon voluntarily assumed command at the fire scene for about 30 minutes. That meant he coordinated different tasks at the scene while a battalion chief focused on firefighting.

At one point, Gordon went to McDonald’s and got hamburgers and fries for the crews and for families who were displaced.

There were still flames in the apartment building, but overall the fire was winding down by then.

It was unusual for the fire chief to take on a command role at a fire, the report notes. Many other members of the department’s command staff were out of town for the holiday, and the fire was one of the largest in all of the firefighters’ careers.

The chief was trying to be helpful in a complex situation, the attorneys found.

Two battalion chiefs who worked the fire complained that the chief smelled of alcohol and appeared to have trouble

making decisions that night, according to public records. The two battalion chiefs did not think Gordon was impaired to the point where he was unsteady on his feet. Rather, they said he seemed hesitant, anxious and confused. There also was some disagreement on the way Gordon took over the scene. He had not received some of the recent training that others did on that sort of operation.

Only one witness, a fire captain, reported that the chief was slurring his words. That allegation didn’t jibe with statements from other witnesses or the recording of the emergency radio traffic from that night.

The attorneys wrote that they found the slurring

of locomotion to ooze through cracks and crevices based on the ideal amount of belly friction.

Cockroaches have inspired other robots, including ones that travel on six legs to get over debris more easily, said Johns Hopkins University mechanical engineering professor Noah Cowan, who wasn’t part of the study.

He said cockroaches and insects in general are great design guides for roboticists to borrow from.

Still, the robot designers have no love for the bug that inspired them.

“I don’t want them in my house. I don’t want them in my kitchen. That hasn’t changed. But we can learn a lot of interesting things from even the most disgusting animals.”

allegation was not credible. They asked the fire captain to demonstrate how the chief spoke that night. They said the firefighter performed a “credible imitation” of Foster Brooks, a comedian who was renowned for playing a lovable drunk in the 1970s.

The fire killed one man, injured a dozen other people and displaced about 130. The city has ordered the property owner to install fire alarms after finding code violations on site. It also has ordered inspections at more than two dozen apartment complexes in Everett that may have similar alarm problems.

They keep Great Wheel spinning T

hey are the spokes of the Seattle Great Wheel.

She runs the crowds and he runs the show.

His LED displays of thousands of lights can be seen for miles and get millions of views online.

“I never knew I’d grow up to have a 175-foot Lite Brite that the whole downtown Seattle gets to see,” said Gerry Hall, 39, general manager of the Ferris wheel that towers 200 feet above Elliott Bay. His wife, Andria Smith, 34, is the ticketing manager.

The behind-the-scenes duo live in Everett, where few know they are the big wheels of the Great Wheel. Hall says he gets recognized more in Seattle from his TV interviews.

Smith keeps watch over the steady traffic of riders who pay $13 for three rotations in the wheel.

The couple has managed the wheel, which has 70 employees, since it opened in June of 2012 on Pier 57. There are 41 self-enclosed gondolas that each hold up to eight people.

There’s also one VIP cabin with a glass bottom floor that seats four. In all, that means about 300 passengers can ride at any given time in the wheel, which weighs 280,300 pounds, extends 40 feet over the bay and is rated for an 8.0 earthquake.

This is no simple carnival ride.

“We do two hours of safety checks every morning before anyone gets on,” Hall said.

“We’re literally checking every bolt that these things hang from. We climb up the ladder and there are four different levels. We do checks on each side and spin the wheel four times and check each level four different times.”

It’s done every day. Rain or shine.

“And wind. Don’t forget the wind. We get those ladders whistling,” he said.

They pick a random cabin to evaluate the ride. “You have to experience what the people experience,” he said.

With so much responsibility, the worries don’t end at quitting time.

“More of the nightmares I get are at home, ‘Did I leave anyone on the wheel?’ ” he said.

“It’s like when you leave your

“One night he said, ‘Andria, I need to go back and check.’ He came down and checked and everything was fine.”

Hall designs the light displays for ball games, charitable causes and whoever wants a dazzle, from Bing to bands such as Pearl Jam. His timelapsed spelling of Seahawks was a huge hit.

“I can do one letter at a time,” he said. “I can’t do, ‘Will You Marry Me?’ ” Sometimes, a solid color says it all.

“One thing we do a lot lately is gender reveals,” Smith said.

“The classic situation is the

dad and mom don’t know the gender and they have either the doctor let us know or one of their friends, and they stand over at the aquarium and at a certain time we light it blue or pink. Some people want to have it half blue and half pink and then at a certain time change it to all the color they want.”

How does Hall do his mega Lite Brite magic?

“A little computer runs the light show,” he said. “It’s just a laptop. I do the programming at my house, on my couch, then put in the memory stick.”

It’s that simple. Well, sort of.

He has honed his skills using the software.

The lighting hardware was an add-on at the time the wheel was made. “It’s a package, like an accessory to your car,” Hall said. “Do you want lights, a VIP cabin?”

Flashy light displays weren’t part of the couple’s extensive careers in outdoor recreation, primarily the ski industry.

“We started working together

at Crystal Mountain 17 years ago, dated for 10 years and got married and decided it was time to move on. We applied here (the wheel) before it opened,” said Hall, who is also a scuba diving instructor.

He’s from Port Orchard. She’s from Puyallup. They moved to Everett 10 years ago and share their house with three cats.

“We bought a house in Everett because it’s close to Mukilteo where we like to go diving. And an hour from Anacortes,” she said. “We really like our little neighborhood. We live in Lowell.”

They enjoy what Everett offers. “I like to eat and drink and visit restaurants. There’s a lot of good little restaurants in Everett,” she said.

The commute keeps the wheels spinning in their heads.

“We have our drive back and forth every day,” Smith said.

“We’re either talking about work or decompressing from work.”

Hubby morphs into drunk on family visits

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Whenever we visit my husband’s family (two or three times per year) he spends the entire time drinking excessively with his friends. I always feel neglected and hurt.

I’m all for giving him some space to see his friends, but he literally leaves the house all day, so I’m with his parents for hours alone with no car. Now we have a baby and the last two times we visited, he got so drunk every night that I can barely talk about those visits without crying.

For six-plus years I’ve cried, gotten angry, and begged him to change his behavior when we visit.

Clearly his behavior isn’t going to change.

But my current response is to not visit his family. Which is an ultimatum. So where do I go from here? When we aren’t visiting his family, he’s a warm, involved and wonderful father and husband who occasionally has a couple of beers. I don’t know where this person goes once we cross the town line.

— Neglected and Hurt Not going with him on these visits is the right answer to the immediate problem of his dumping you to go drink. It’s not an ultimatum, by the way — it’s a consequence. An ultimatum

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT would be, “If you keep stranding me at your parents’ house to go binge-drink, then I will [punitive action here].”

But your excusing yourself from these trips addresses only the narrow issue of his transforming into a raging butthat the moment he crosses his parents’ threshold.

The wider issue is the one possibly waiting to pounce on you, which is actually a double: his drinking to such excess, and his acting in such brutal self-interest.

Maybe what happens in Hometown really, really stays in Hometown, but I tend to believe that people use their various capacities throughout their lives.

So someone who has a seemingly bottomless capacity for hard work, for example, may not work hard at absolutely everything, but that capacity will likely show itself in more than one area of his or her life. So how else does this weak and thoughtless side of him

express itself? If it hasn’t, yet, then I imagine we’re both wondering when it will, and to what end.

Please insist on seeing a good marriage counselor. I’d be very curious how he explains himself to a disinterested third party.

Re: Neglected Marriage counseling plus data gathering: How do the husband’s parents and/or siblings react to his spending his entire “visits” with them out getting dangerously plastered? Do they regard this as normal? Do they themselves drink a lot? Just questions Neglected might want to think about and bring to the first counseling session.

— Anonymous Re: Neglected: Does he cop to being a jerk during those times? Excuse it because [whatever]? Does he promise to do better (then doesn’t)? Does he say you’re blowing it out of proportion? Was the crying and begging him to change done during the visits to his hometown or in your own home where he’s warm and wonderful?

— Anonymous 2 Good questions on both counts, thank you — particularly the one about when he crosses back over the town line. When he’s in his warm-and-involved-family-guy state, that’s the ideal time to talk. (c) 2016, Washington Post Writers Group

Stepson with addict mom THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE must learn that she is sick 38 Musical finale

ACROSS

Dear Abby: My stepson just turned 7. My husband was granted custody because the mother was declared unfit due to her drug abuse. She was granted supervised visits until she can pass two consecutive drug tests.

Over the last year and a half, her visits have become few and far between. My husband and I think it would be a good idea for “Tony” to start seeing a therapist again. He doesn’t talk about his mother often, and I’m worried he may be bottling up a lot of his feelings.

Tony is starting to ask more questions about his mom — like why he can’t stay the night with her, why he can’t live with her, and why he hasn’t seen her much lately. I try not to say anything negative about her.

Is it time to explain the situation to him? He is still so young, and I don’t know how to explain things in a way he would understand.

If you were me, what would you do? — Stepmom In Alabama Dear Stepmom: You and your husband are wise to want to prevent problems before they happen.

If I were in your situation, I would talk to Tony’s therapist, explain what’s going on, and ask for pointers regarding his questions and his behavior.

My instinct would be to tell the boy that his mother doesn’t see him because she is sick. It’s the truth. When he’s older, he will need to know that there may be an inherited predisposition to addiction in his family — but for now that can wait.

Definitely contact the therapist if you think he/she was a good one.

DEAR ABBY the years we became like sisters and did everything together. We played Barbies, went on adventures, shopping, saw movies and had sleepovers. As we grew older, we began trusting each other with our lives.

I could tell her anything and everything, and I was there for her whenever she needed support or a shoulder to cry on.

However, now that we are older, we have slowly noticed small differences in our lives. She became focused on her studies and art. I joined the cheerleading squad and became interested in meeting new people. Our lives have diverged, and now it’s like we have become strangers.

I want our friendship to go back to the way it was.

What can I say or do to show her I miss the old her? — Confused Ex-Friend Dear Confused: As people mature, it is not uncommon for their interests to diverge.

This is normal, and it may be what has happened with you and your longtime friend. If you miss the closeness you once had, tell her so. But do not expect it to magically return your relationship to what it was.

It’s possible that in the future your paths will converge again. When people are true friends, their ability to communicate on a meaningful level can last forever despite intervals when they are not in contact.

Dan Hicks led the eclectic Hot Licks MILL VALLEY, Calif.

— Dan Hicks, a musician whose work in the 1960s helped define San Francisco’s psychedelic sound, has died. He was 74.

The singer, songwriter and bandleader—who led the musically eclectic band Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks—died Saturday after a two-year battle with throat and liver cancer, his wife, CT Hicks, said on his website and his Facebook page.

“He was true blue, one of a kind, and did it all his own way always,” she wrote. “To all who loved him, know that he will live forever in the words, songs, and art that he spent his life creating.”

Hicks began his musical career in San Francisco in the 1960s, where he played

drums for rock band The Charlatans, which, along with Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, had significant influence on the city’s music scene.

He formed the Hot Licks in the early 1970s,

which drew critical and commercial success by blending country, blues, jazz, swing and humorous lyrics. The group’s hits include “I Scare Myself” and “Canned Music.” The group’s last album, “Last

Train to Hicksville,” helped land Hicks on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

The Hot Licks broke up in 1973 at the height of its popularity.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that he later said he disbanded the Hot Licks because he didn’t want to be a bandleader anymore and called himself a loner.

Hicks went on to record more than a dozen more albums.

Hicks was acknowledged for his influence on other musicians such as Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, the Chronicle reported.

In addition to this wife, Hicks is survived by his stepdaughter Sara Wasserman.

Public Notice and Opportunity to Comment Proposed Substantial Amendment Snohomish County Housing and Community Development 2011 and 2015 Annual Action Plans Snohomish County (County), as lead agency of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium (Consortium), seeks public review and comment on a proposed substantial amendment to the Consortium’s 2011 and 2015 Annual Action Plans to re-allocate $580,729.10 in funding for affordable housing activities to a tenantbased rental assistance program.

The Annual Action Plans describe how certain grant funds will be used during the year to help meet the ďŹ ve-year goals set forth in the Consortium’s 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The sources of grant funds include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. The funds are used to provide suppor t for affordable housing and community development projects which beneďŹ t low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods within the county. The Annual Action Plans include funding allocations to speciďŹ c activities.

A substantial amendment to an Annual Action Plan is sometimes needed after the plan has been adopted. On such occasions, the County publishes notice of the proposed substantial amendment and provides the public with at least 30 days to comment. This notice serves this requirement for the proposed substantial amendment summarized below.

Everett - YWCA Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program Amendment Pursuant to an interlocal agreement, 21% of the Consortium’s HOME funds are set-aside each year for affordable housing activities that beneďŹ t residents of the City of Everett and the City of Everett’s Urban Growth Area. The projects are selected through the City of Everett’s project selection process and undergo both city-wide and county-wide citizen participation requirements.

Snohomish County has ďŹ nal approval of the project awards, which are included in the Annual Action Plan for the funds each year, or as amendments to these plans. Projects selected must be consistent with the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan goals which guide the investment of these funds.

The 2015 Annual Action Plan, as amended, includes an award of $50,000 from Everett HOME set-aside funds for the Everett YWCA Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program to provide assistance to high system utilizers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including persons with special needs. Planned activities include assistance with rent, security deposits, utility deposits, and other eligible costs.

The City of Everett is proposing a substantial amendment to the 2011 and 2015 Annual Action Plans to-reallocate an additional $580,729.10 in Everett HOME set-side funds to this program. The additional funding is anticipated to allow the program to expand from providing 5 households with assistance for 9 months to providing 20 households with assistance for up to 2 years and 9 months. More speciďŹ cally, the amendment would: • Amend the 2011 Annual Action Plan to reduce the City of Everett Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) award of $418,686 in Everett HOME set-aside funds by $403,306.10 to $15,379.90. • Amend the 2015 Annual Action Plan to reduce the Everett Rental Housing Project $469,960 in Everett HOME setaside funds by $177,423 to $292,537. • Amend the 2015 Annual Action Plan to re-allocate these f u n d s t o t h e E ve r e t t Y W C A Te n a n t - B a s e d R e n t a l Assistance Project by $580,729.10, increasing the award from $50,000 to $630,729.10, increasing the estimated number of households to be served from 5 to 20, and extending the estimated timeline for completion of the project.

The proposed amendment, if approved, would help the City of Everett meet a critical need to provide immediate housing assistance to a vulnerable population - high system utilizers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, many of whom have special needs - while it continues to work towards the capital development and preservation of affordable rental housing units. In addition, the amendment would also help meet the grant deadlines to commit the pre-2015 funds to a speciďŹ c project by July 2016.

Public Review and Comment: All interested persons are encouraged to review and comment on the proposed substantial amendment. • A copy of the full text of the proposed amendment may is available at the following locations: • on-line at http://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/931/PlanAmendments • Everett Main Public Library branch and Snohomish County branches of the Sno-Isle Regional Library System, • Local city and town halls in Snohomish County, • Snohomish County Human Services Department, Division of Housing & Community Services, Snohomish County A d m i n i s t r a t i o n B u i l d i n g We s t , Fo u r t h F l o o r, 3 0 0 0 Rockefeller Avenue, Everett, WA 98201, or • By requesting a copy (contact information listed below). • Written comments must be submitted no later than 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 10, 2016. Comments may be submitted via e-mail or mail. Comments received will be taken into c o n s i d e r a t i o n b e fo r e f i n a l a c t i o n o n t h e p r o p o s e d amendments. • Reasonable accommodations will be made upon request for persons with disabilities to provide the amendment information in an alternate format or to submit a comment in other formats (contact information listed below).

Once you begin to head in the direction of your choice, you will find the path to success is one of great ease and joy.

Embrace life and emphasize what you know and do best. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen and consider all the angles of every situation you face.

Don’t feel obligated to make a decision until you are ready to do so with confidence. Too much confusion will lead to inconsistency and promises you won’t want to keep. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Explore new interests and let your creative imagination lead you in a new direction. Be open to new friendships and sharing ideas with people you feel have something to contribute. Romance is highlighted and will leave a memorable impression. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Embrace change.

Take a step back from whatever situation you face, and you’ll realize that things aren’t the way you originally perceived them. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your determination and desire will not let you down. You will outdo anyone who challenges you and bring about an opportunity that will improve your life emotionally, financially and physically. Romance is encouraged. Speak up and make a difference. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Listen and consider all the angles before you make a decision that will influence your direction for an extended period of time.

Marshawn Lynch gained 6,347 on his 9,112 yards rushing and 7,656 of his 11,091 career yards from scrimmage for the Seahawks after a trade with Buffalo early in the 2010 season.

Good-bye, Beast Mode Lynch gives Seahawks parting gift with timing of his retirement

COMMENTARY

Lynch uttered few of them, but he was true to his word

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

T

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

The Seahawks have so many reasons to thank Marshawn Lynch.

Not just for his signature, “Beast Quake” runs. Not only for his unique excellence as their foundation for the greatest string of seasons and championships in franchise history.

The last great accomplishment Marshawn Lynch gave the Seahawks’ wasn’t his 2015 season, the first injury-filled year of his career. It wasn’t his 20 yards on six carries last month when he returned to play after two months out injured — only to become a bystander as Seattle fell behind 31-0 in the first half of the playoff loss at Carolina.

The final, best thing Lynch did for the Seahawks was retiring when he did.

The totally Lynchian how of his retirement See LYNCH, Page C3

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Marshawn Lynch ranks second in Seahawks history in rushing TDs (57), third in total TDs (65) and seventh in points scored (392).

ruth be told, dealing with Marshawn Lynch was not a particularly rewarding experience.

Nobody cares about that, of course, and I mention it now only to provide context: If I had a Hall of Fame vote, I’d push for his induction as soon as possible.

Lynch played with greater and more admirable effort than anyone I’d witnessed in decades of playing and covering the game. And he changed the fortunes of a franchise in the process.

On Sunday, he apparently retired from the Seahawks and the National Football League via a cryptic tweet, presumably a final missive sent from somewhere out on the threshold of the vanishing point.

No one expected a press conference, of course.

His prickly dealings with the media always seemed like such an irrelevant sidebar that I avoided the topic.

Beat reporters had no choice but to get into those See BOLING, Page C3

Snohomish beats Monroe to clinch Wesco 4A title

By David Krueger Herald Writer

ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD

Snohomish’s Madeline Smith blocks a shot by Monroe’s Katie Piland.

INSIDE: Silvertips, C2

SNOHOMISH — Ken Roberts doesn’t always believe in technology.

But he believes in Madeline Smith.

The Snohomish head coach utilized his senior post, who finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, to help the Panthers pull away in a 47-37 victory over Monroe Monday night at Snohomish High School after some technical difficulties with the scoreboard delayed the game on several occasions — including one break that lasted more than

Sounders, C2

NBA, C2

10 minutes.

The victory clinched a Wesco 4A title for the Panthers.

“I don’t know. All this technology they have now they have wireless stuff and it just — whatever,” Roberts said. “It was hard for either team to get a flow in that first quarter, because of the clock problems. ... Early we shot too quick and had some things that weren’t working. We just simplified things in the second half.

We just simplified and played through Maddie in the post.”

Monroe head coach Ashley Tuiasosopo said the early delays didn’t ultimately decide the game.

NFL, C3

But it made for a unique start to the contest.

“I can’t control that. I just try to tell the girls you can’t worry about things you can’t control and technology is one of those things where you just never know,” Tuiasosopo said. “I’m sure some people might say it screwed things up but do I think it’s why we lost the game? No. It just kind of made for an interesting start for the game.”

Snohomish outscored Monroe 19-7 in the third quarter to build up a 14-point lead going into the final period. The Bearcats battled See SNOHOMISH, Page C5

regulation in their last 11 contests. The nine straight wins are a franchise record.

The good news for the U.S. Division-leading Silvertips (32-17-2-2, 68 points) is that their nine-point lead over Seattle remained intact as the Thunderbirds fell 7-4 at Kelowna on Monday afternoon.

The Royals boast arguably the top goaltending tandem in the WHL with overager Coleman Vollrath and rookie Griffen Outhouse, who got the start Monday.

The Silvertips, of course, have top draft prospect Carter Hart.

The first period went the way fans might have expected as Outhouse and Hart combined to save all 15 shots in the period.

That all changed once the teams changed ends.

It began when the Silvertips were assessed consecutive tripping penalties less than a minute apart in the second to give the Royals a two-man advantage.

VICTORIA, B.C. — The Everett Silvertips usually do not let thirdperiod leads slip away.

But Monday was not a usual set of circumstances.

Playing at 2 p.m. as part of British Columbia’s “Family Day” provincial holiday, the Tips allowed an uncharacteristic four goals in the third period and dropped a 6-4 decision to the red-hot Victoria Royals before 5,197 fans at Save-On-Foods Arena in the B.C. capital.

The Silvertips led 3-2 through two periods and 4-3 following Noah Juulsen’s power play goal with 9:57 to play. Then Victoria’s Jack Walker took over.

Walker tied the score at 13:25, gave the Royals the lead with a power play tally at 15:49, and put the game away with his third goal at 18:42 to complete the hat trick.

It was the ninth consecutive win for the Royals (35-15-2-3, 75 points) who have not lost in

By Don Ruiz TUCSON, ARIZ. — Homegrown forward Jordan Morris is fitting in as a Seattle Sounder a little more each day.

On Saturday, Morris joined his first professional club in Tucson after duty in California with the United States national team. On Sunday, the bonding process continued as he paired off with some new teammates to watch the Super Bowl. On Monday, he trained as a Sounder for the first time.

“I’ve been looking forward to this for a while,” he said. “It was good to get out here with the guys and get my first training under my belt.”

Morris hopes to continue the progression with his first game action Tuesday when the Sounders conclude their Desert Friendlies against Celaya FC of the Mexican second division.

“I haven’t talked to (coach Sigi Schmid) too much,” he said. “But yeah, I’m ready to go.”

When reporters got their chance to talk to Schmid, he confirmed Morris would be available, but he stopped short of committing to playing time.

Still, the indication was that the new high-profile Sounder will get at least a first few minutes.

Either way, Schmid seems pleased with the way Morris is settling in. Yes, there was the relatively light training work Monday. But the coach seemed just as impressed with how Morris spent his off day.

“We just wanted to get him around the team, to start to integrate himself into the team,” Schmid said. “So it was good having the off-day was good

— the Super Bowl — so he got together with three, four guys.

I know a couple of the guys he got together with he knew; but a couple of guys were new guys on the team, so just to start that integration process was good.

You can do more of that when you’re away from home than when you’re at home.”

Morris agreed. He noted there’s always benefit in training amid the kind of quality players found on the national team.

But after growing up on Mercer Island, after playing with the Sounders FC Academy, after three seasons at Stanford, Morris sounded ready to settle into the next phase of his career.

“It was a long time coming for this decision,” he said. “To be in a comfortable environment, know

at roughly the same period. The following week when we wanted to get a Mexican team, it’s the Mexican Cup, Liga MX, so it’s tough to get teams there. So instead of looking for a first-division team ... we looked a little bit into the second division, a team that we felt would bring up more of their first-team players, as well.”

Celaya stands sixth in the 16-team Ascenso MX with three wins and two losses. That third win came Saturday, 3-1 over Irapuato.

The club is based in the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico.

First kick is scheduled for 6 p.m., and the match will be streamed on SoundersFC.com.

The Sounders will hold a final Arizona training Wednesday morning before returning to the Northwest.

that this is my team and where I’m going to be is awesome.”

Indications are that Morris will have to wait a while longer for his first professional minutes — likely into the second half. After two Desert Friendlies when the Sounders (0-2) played as separate 11-man units going 45-minutes each, Schmid plans to extend his starting 11, leaving them in for 60 to 70 minutes.

Celaya wasn’t the first-choice opponent, but will still provide the Sounders a taste of southof-the-border soccer before resuming CONCACAF Champions League at home Feb. 23 against Club America.

“It was just tough to get a Mexican team scheduled,” Schmid said. “Tijuana already had scheduled themselves with the Galaxy

Not to be outdone, Everett rookie Connor Dewar scored on a backhander with an assist from Stadnyk at 10:41 to retie the score as the teams combined for three goals in 1:36.

Juulsen scored Everett’s final goal to give the Tips a short-lived 4-3 advantage before Walker erupted for three goals to give the Royals the victory.

Panthers’ center Kalil says Newton didn’t quit on fumble

By Joseph Person

offensive line group, didn’t give him enough confidence to do what he does best,” Kalil added. “And really we just didn’t get in a rhythm. That’s what killed us. Any time we had any kind of momentum, we killed ourselves in penalties and not taking care of the football.”

Several Broncos players said after the game that Newton wanted no part of getting in the scrum for

the loose ball.

“If he would have touched that ball, I was gonna hit him right in his face, and I wasn’t the only one,” Broncos safety T.J. Ward, who recovered the fumble, told NFL.com.

“We were hungry for that one. We saw that ball and it was like hyenas on an antelope.”

Ward then fired a verbal shot at Newton: “And I don’t know, maybe he

staff produced and sent out on Twitter with the tag “#ThankYouBeastMode,” the team left no ambiguity on its appreciation.

This is the best-case scenario for general manager John Schneider, head coach Pete Carroll plus their scouting and playerpersonnel staffs. They had hoped Lynch would let them know of his plans before the combine, so the Seahawks knew prior to the league’s offseason shopping market opening how urgent their need was to add a running back behind Thomas Rawls.

Lynch retiring also saves the Seahawks from having to endure the bad optics and potential locker-room chemistry issue of releasing the uber-popular Lynch this spring because of his scheduled $11.5 million salary-cap charge for next season.

Now they know. The Seahawks will be saving $6.5 million against their salary cap for 2016 with Lynch retiring. They can budget ways to use that money much sooner than they thought they’d be able to.

Seattle is certain to let Fred Jackson go; Lynch’s buddy from Buffalo and veteran running back turns 35 this month and becomes a free agent next month. Carroll said last month the team would like to bring back Christine Michael. Seattle’s former second-round draft choice is a restricted free agent after impressing late this past season in his second go-round with the team.

But now that they know Lynch won’t be back the Seahawks can aggressively pursue veteran and prospect tailbacks to compete with or become a better option than Michael as Rawls’ backup. Lynch playing in just seven regular-season games this past season to precipitously fall off the NFL’s elite shelf was a reminder of the importance to Seattle of having two backs capable

of leading Carroll’s running game.

So ends Lynch’s nineyear career and brilliant, 51⁄2-year Seattle romp like none other. He gained 6,347 on his 9,112 yards rushing and 7,656 of his 11,091 career yards from scrimmage for Seattle after a trade with Buffalo early in the 2010 season, Carroll’s and Schneider’s first running the franchise.

He scored 65 of his 83 career touchdowns for the Seahawks. He made four of his five Pro Bowls and became an All-Pro in 2012 with Seattle.

He is fourth in franchise history in yards rushing and attempts (1,457), behind Shaun Alexander, Curt Warner and Chris Warren in each category. Alexander played eight seasons with the Seahawks, Warner seven, injury-marred ones and Warren eight.

Lynch played the equivalent of five full seasons with the franchise.

Lynch ranks second in team history in rushing touchdowns (57), third in total TDs (65) and seventh in points scored (392).

But because he did what Alexander, Warner, Warren and everyone else did not — lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title and to within 1-yard and one more handoff to him from another one the following

season — Lynch’s legacy will be as the franchise’s best back ever. Hall-ofFame-worthy best.

Beyond all the numbers was the way he accumulated them. The bulldozing plows through defenders who often fell off him like they’d just run facefirst into a light pole, such as his “Get off me!” run through the Saints on his “Beast Quake” run in the January 2011 playoff win over New Orleans.

His similar run through the Arizona Cardinals in December 2014. The crotch-grab and backwards, Nestea plunges across the goal line to punctuate those and other scores. The lack of need for the media or comments to it after or between games.

Returning from abdominal surgery and practicing as the lead back all week early last month, then telling the Seahawks minutes before they got on their plane he wasn’t fit to play in the wild-card game at frigid Minnesota — and deciding that he wouldn’t be making the trip, either.

The commercials — “Quit freakin’, call Beacon” and “Bruh, I’ve been here the whole time” among the most memorable.

All that and more combined to create a persona — and a career — the Seahawks won’t be seeing again anytime soon.

NEW ARRIVAL! DIPLOMAT BLACK

the way they were going to do things on that afternoon in Chicago. And Lynch was the catalyst.

In time, it grew obvious that Lynch was a man who loved the game but hated the parts that felt like a job.

And that created between Lynch and the Seahawks staff what seemed to be an uneasy symbiosis.

I don’t believe Lynch would have flourished anywhere as he did in Seattle, under coach Pete Carroll’s willingness to recognize personal expression. And I’m even more certain the Hawks could not have constructed this franchise golden age without Lynch.

But by their nature NFL franchises tend to be little slices of fascism, with totalitarian rule and the militant expectation of lock-step group-think.

Having never walked in his shoes, I can only speculate on the formative influences on Lynch’s life.

But it seems obvious that he bridles somewhat in the face of authority.

Maybe that contributed to a growing disconnect between Lynch and the franchise, to the point where the team had little idea what he was up to during his rehab from an abdominal surgery this season.

It led to a strange denouement of what had been a productive relationship. The end for NFL running backs is rarely pretty, what with cumulative injuries and the diminished production. But in this case, the separation had become inevitable.

Teammates, and even owner Paul Allen, tapped out a series of tweets proclaiming their affection for Lynch and appreciation for his contributions. That says a great deal about Lynch as a teammate.

When the time comes to assess his nine-season career, I think he deserves the same kind of respect as an Earl Campbell, whose punishing playing style defied some of the conventional criteria for analysis.

Lynch earned that. He was a player who is the sum of his actions, someone totally was defined by what he did and how he did it.

And as I look back, that’s what he promised in his first press conference in Seattle, back before he became so ... laconic. He was questioned that day about his “Beast Mode” persona.

“It’s just a state of mind that I follow,” Lynch said. “That basically I won’t be denied, and I’m just relentless at what I do — running that ball.”

For a man who uttered so few of them, he was a man true to his word.

continued getting the attention Monday. His declaration came without words. Of course. He tweeted during Sunday night’s Super Bowl 50 a picture of his neon-green football cleats hanging on a wire above an illustration of a hand in the shape of a peace sign — and nothing else.

Quintessential Lynch.

The 29-year-old star running back went out his way. With no elaboration.

Lynch’s agent Doug Hendrickson confirmed to The Associated Press Monday what The News Tribune learned from league sources the Seahawks had understood late Sunday, that Lynch indeed intends to retire.

The agent tweeted his congratulations/goodbye Monday afternoon: “These past 9 years working for you has been a journey i will cherish and never forget. You are the greatest bro. @MoneyLynch #HOF” But Lynch’s exit from the Seahawks was never a matter of “if” this offseason.

The “when” is what will benefit them.

Lynch letting the Seahawks know his intentions now is the best parting gift he could have given his now-former team. For the first time in three offseasons, after previous springs and summers of him contemplating retirement and seeking more money up front, the Seahawks know Lynch’s status with them.

And it’s still two weeks before the league’s scouting combine begins and a month before free agency and the league’s fiscal year starts March 9.

From owner Paul Allen’s tweet of appreciation to Lynch Sunday night through Monday’s tribune video the Seahawks’ digital

farcical scrums surrounding him, even knowing those things sapped dignity from everyone involved, and all felt worse in the aftermath.

As a columnist, I could watch from the periphery and just speculate on Lynch’s motives and mindset. Any number of times I tried to climb inside his head, a fool’s errand we in the business call “a daily column.”

I tried one time to offer a study on the Tao of Marshawn, speculating that his approach was rooted in ancient Eastern philosophy and not, as it initially seemed, in East Bay truculence. Maybe it was intentional minimalism, to bring focus to his acts rather than his words. Perhaps he had entered Buddha Mode.

Another time, when I described him as “laconic,” I sought the exact definition to be certain it was appropriate. Was it ever. It came from the Greek via Latin, referring to the terse manner of the Spartans.

It couldn’t have been more fitting, because so often it seemed as if Lynch played football like one of the historically fierce 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.

He was a balled-up fist of a runner, playing angry, out to prove something, and eager to punish defenders in the process. It never was enough to just display his will, he was out to break the will of anybody who tried to stop him, too.

From his first game for the Seahawks, at Chicago in 2010, he changed the expectations for effort by everyone who would play for the team.

People will rave, with justification, about his highlight-reel runs. But that first game offered more evidence about the consistency of Lynch’s approach.

The Hawks had a terrible offensive line, and Lynch gained a modest 44 yards on 17 carries that day.

But on one play deep in their own territory, when defenders poured through every gap and swarmed him the instant he took the handoff, he somehow fought through that Persian phalanx of tacklers for a gain of 2 yards.

It was the most extraordinary, yet statistically insignificant run I’d ever seen.

Granted, the Seahawks didn’t start winning big until they got quarterback Russell Wilson in 2012, but they definitively changed

needed to stay healthy for next year.”

The public doesn’t know what was going on in Newton’s head. When asked about the play after the game, Newton put up his hands and said, “I don’t know.”

The play came at a crucial moment, with the Broncos clinging to a 16-10 lead with 4 minutes, 16 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The Panthers’ defense was dominating Denver, which had not scored an offensive touchdown and had gone 3-and-out in 8 of the 13 possessions following a field goal drive to start the game.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Newton was looking for a chance to grab the loose ball.

“He’s trying to stay alive and get a chance to pick it up. And someone came diving in, so he backed up and tried to see where it ended up, and then seeing it go flying out,” Rivera said. “Again, he’s just trying to find an opportunity to pick it up.”

The Charlotte Observer

SAN FRANCISCO — The morning after one of the worst losses of his life, Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil hadn’t watched the replay from Super Bowl 50 the rest of the world is commenting on: the fourth-quarter fumble that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton did not dive on.

But Kalil didn’t need to see the replay to know the play that sealed the Denver Broncos’ 24-10 win was not a character indictment of the Panthers’ franchise quarterback and league MVP. “Cam’s not the quitting type. So this idea or this notion that he quit on us is garbage. I think it’s absolute garbage.

That’s not who he is,” Kalil said Monday during a phone interview before the Panthers returned to Charlotte.

Shorewood girls basketball coach Mark Haner addresses his team at the end of the first quarter in a recent game against Meadowdale. Haner is in his first season as the Thunderbirds’ head coach after coaching Jackson for the past two seasons.

No more ‘fear and sadness’ The Shorewood girls basketball team has overcome many of its early-season fears and has a chance to make some noise in the upcoming 3A District 1 Tournament

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

SHORELINE — In a recent game against Edmonds-Woodway, Shorewood girls basketball coach Mark Haner wasn’t able to hide his emotions — he was having a lot of fun.

The Thunderbirds were in a battle with the Warriors in a game that in all likelihood would decide the No. 3 seed from the Wesco 3A South going into this week’s district tournament, but Haner was smiling, laughing and joking as he interacted with his players in the game’s final minutes.

Haner’s looseness seemed to trickle down to his players and the Thunderbirds won the game 61-55 in overtime.

Having fun is something Haner has tried to emphasize since he took the job as head coach in June after two seasons as the varsity girls basketball coach at Jackson High School.

“Usually when a new coach comes in you don’t really know him very well and you kind of try to feel them out, but from the jump in summer ball he just made an emphasis to have fun and grow as a whole,” junior guard Jalyn Hizey said.

Haner may not have looked nervous against EdmondsWoodway, but he insists otherwise.

“Whatever exterior was on, there were certainly some nerves,” he said. “That was a challenging game.”

Haner proved he can overcome those nerves, which is something his team has been doing most of the season. The Thunderbirds have come a long way from the team that used to take the floor with “sadness and fear” according to Hizey.

Earlier in the season, Haner and his players admit they would get down on themselves in pressure situations, which created a running joke that the team takes the court with sadness and fear.

“I feel like we didn’t really feel like we started our season very well, so we came out really

intimidated against a lot of teams,” Hizey said. “We kind of just learned how to play together more and we’re not as intimidated by tougher teams.”

With some help from Haner, the players have learned to face their fears.

“When you play against the type of competition that we play against, you’re going to play against teams that are going to hit you in the mouth,” Haner said. “When that happens, getting sad isn’t going to do it for you. It’s going to be to your detriment — and that’s something we had to deal with at the beginning of the year.”

After losing back-to-back games to Arlington and Lynnwood in early January, the Thunderbirds have won five of their last seven to move into a third-place tie with EdmondsWoodway and Shorecrest in the Wesco 3A/2A South. Shorecrest, a 2A school competing in a 3A league, will play in the 2A district 1 tournament and the Thunderbirds own the tie-breaker with the Warriors for the third seed.

Haner said he expected to be at Jackson for many years, but a few life changes opened the door for him to take over at Shorewood.

He grew up in Shoreline, graduating from Shorecrest High School in 2000 and later coaching the JV boys basketball team at his alma mater.

Returning to the district he grew up in played a role in his decision, but he was also transitioning from a career as a personal trainer to his new role as a teacher last year when a fulltime sub position opened up at Shorewood. In the summer, the girls head coaching job as well as a full-time teaching position opened up.

The combination of returning home and teaching and coaching in the same district was too much for Haner to pass up.

“It’s been kind of a homecoming,” Haner said. “It’s back to the district that I know, which is nice. It’s the other side of the district, but it still feels like home.”

Still, Haner had a tough time leaving Jackson.

“Those girls at Jackson, they played hard for me and I really appreciate everything they gave me,” he said.

His time at Jackson also helped him evaluate his effectiveness as a head coach, which included examining his priorities.

“I’d like to think that I’ve grown some in my perspective,” Haner said. “The change has given me a chance to sit back and reflect and say that. It’s like, ‘look, am I doing this in a way that’s going to be enjoyable for the girls and enjoyable for myself.’ At the end of the day, it’s basketball and if you can’t have fun with basketball, boy, I don’t know.

“I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve spent a lot of time in my coaching career really investing more than what is right into living and dying by wins and losses,” Haner added. “That doesn’t necessarily add to the wins and losses, but it can detract. A tough loss just crushes you.”

Haner’s new approach has been met with appreciation and excitement from his players.

“His positive attitude really affects us too,” junior forward Taryn Shelley said. “Usually we would be really sad and mad at each other and not have really good attitudes, but he rubs off on us and makes us excited to play and work hard in the late parts of the game.”

Finding an approach that works has been important for Haner. While he knew he was taking over a talented roster, the competition in the Wesco 3A is some of the best in the state.

Lynnwood is ranked No. 1 and is the defending state champions. Arlington is ranked third and placed fourth at state a year ago. Both teams are just one win away from finishing the regular season undefeated.

After the Royals and Eagles, Glacier Peak, EdmondsWoodway and Stanwood have all proven to be perennial

contenders in recent years.

“I’d put this district up against any district in the state and I think that we win that battle,” Haner said. “I’m not afraid to say that.”

The Thunderbirds know that to advance to the state regional round, they likely will have to beat at least two of those teams, which seems to be a daunting task.

“I’ve been playing in this league for four years, so that’s all I’m used to,” senior forward Lily Gustafson said.

“It’s fun playing a team that good,” Gustafson added. “We know we can compete, we just have to play well and composed.

It’s just an opportunity to get better, even if we don’t get the win.

Every team we play that is that good pushes us to be better.”

The rest of the team doesn’t appear to be intimidated either, in large part thanks to Haner.

“I can’t get into my kids heads as much as I’d like to, but I always tell them, ‘don’t ever fear anyone that breathes the same air as you,’” Haner said.

Aside from Lynnwood, which hasn’t received much a challenge from any of the teams it has faced this season, the Thunderbirds have found their share of success against the other elite teams in the league. Though they lost to Arlington by 14, they proved they could compete with the Eagles and they have beat Glacier Peak and EdmondsWoodway this season.

For all the fun the Thunderbirds have had this season, there wouldn’t be a better way to cap it off than with a trip to state.

“This group right here, I want it for them so desperately,” Haner said.

“I’m going to do everything I can to get them in that position,” he added. “I’ve got my fingers crossed that if I coach the game right and the shots fall, maybe something good will happen.”

Bevan leads Marysville Pilchuck to win over Stanwood on day of father’s death

By David Krueger Herald Writer

STANWOOD — Todd Bevan didn’t hate Stanwood.

But he cheered pretty hard for Marysville Pilchuck when the Tomahawks played the Spartans.

Todd, whose son Josh is a senior for the Tomahawks, died Monday morning after a battle with cancer.

Monday night, Josh scored a team-high 24 points for Marysville Pilchuck in an 85-75 Wesco 3A North upset victory over Stanwood. “(The game) was at Stanwood, so already it was a big game but it turned into a bigger game,” Bevan said. “My dad has a special bone in his body that he wants to beat Stanwood.

He doesn’t hate Stanwood, but he’s always wanted to beat Stanwood. The game against Stanwood happened to be today and we got the ‘W’ for him.”

Josh Bevan and the Tomahawks honored Todd at a Coaches vs. Cancer game against Arlington less than two weeks ago. He was well-known by the Marysville Pilchuck players and loved by all.

back with senior Hannah Drivstuen making three 3-pointers in the quarter, including one with 2:10 left in the game that cut the Panthers’ lead to 43-36.

But the Snohomish defense clamped down late and Smith was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the fourth as the Panthers held off a late Monroe attack for the second time this season.

“Snohomish is a great team,” Tuiasosopo said.

“They’re a tough team to play with those two bigs down there. The girls are always kind of thinking

him knows he has this glow about him and it shows in Josh. It’s really, really special,” said Marysville Pilchuck head coach Bary Gould. “... It was really emotional. I got the call this morning from Josh’s mom that he passed away this morning. It kind of snowballed from there. We had to scramble and figure everything out. Even at that point, she told me Josh wants to play.”

Josh Bevan said there was never a chance he wouldn’t play against Stanwood (9-1 league, 15-5 overall).

“Never once crossed my mind that I wasn’t playing tonight,” Bevan said.

“I would never miss a game against Stanwood.”

“He wanted to do what he felt his dad would want him to do and he felt like he’d want to play,” Gould said. “And play he did, with 24 points.”

Josiah Gould scored 17 points, Freddy Brown scored 16 and Nate Heckendorf added 12 for Marysville Pilchuck (8-2, 9-10) in the contest.

“I started off the game missing a few shots but I got it rolling at the end of the first quarter,” Bevan

about those. ... They’re just a challenging team to play.”

Snohomish jumped out to a 17-point lead in the teams’ first matchup before hanging on to defeat Monroe 45-42 on Jan. 15. Tuiasosopo and the Bearcats were looking to get off to a better start this time around.

“We just wanted to get off to a better start and I’m glad we did,” Tuiasosopo said. “Snohomish is just a tough team to play.”

Along with Smith, fellow senior Madison Pollock had 16 points for Snohomish (14-0 league, 17-3 overall), which has won 17 consecutive games after losing three straight to

said. “As soon as I got my feet wet I was good the rest of the game. The team was playing unbelievable too.”

Before the game the team talked about Todd Bevan but Gould was careful not to put too much additional pressure on the Tomahawks to win Monday night.

But Gould admitted he wanted a victory pretty bad.

“It’s always important to try to beat Stanwood but this just added so much of a bigger-picture element,” Gould said. “I don’t know that it’s important that we won, but in my heart I really, really wanted it. ... In this case, I was just thinking how sweet it would be, how cool it would be just to get this one. It didn’t matter, as far as the standings — Stanwood’s still league champions and we’re second — but for Joshua and his family it was huge.”

Josh said his family is doing OK. And that Monday night helped.

“We kind of knew it was coming. We’re OK now,” Bevan said. “The win tonight definitely helped take a little bit of the sadness away.”

start the season. The Panthers also finished with nine blocked shots, including three from the 6-foot-1 Smith, a Montana State commit.

“This team blocks a lot of shots,” Roberts said.

“We kind of run a defense to filter people to our bigs and they’re able to get up and change shots or block shots.”

Drivstuen led Monroe (12-2, 15-15) with nine points — all coming in the final quarter.

“Hannah stepped up for us in the end,” Tuiasosopo said. “She was just in the right spots. Her teammates gave her great passes. ... I’m glad she hit them because it helped us get back in the game.”

World’s Leading Brain Expert and Winner of the Prestigious Kennedy Award, Unveils Exciting News For the Scattered, Unfocused and Forgetful

By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent; Clearwater, Florida: Dr. Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D., is a former visiting professor at Duke University, recipient of the prestigious J.F. Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200 international scientific papers on human body cells.

But now he’s come up with what the medical world considers his greatest accomplishment — A vital compound. so powerful, it’s reported to repair… even regrow damaged brain cells. In layman’s terms — Bring back your memory power.

And leave you feeling more focused and clear-headed than you have in years!

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised. And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s.

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”…unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys…or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another “senior moment,” it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge difference in our mental wellness. 17 different double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age.

Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing: 1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests 100% Success Rate 2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function 3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this… they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

Senior moments can lead to fear and frustration. Studies conclude that stress is a leading cause of memory loss. healthy... PS now has the attention of some of the world’s most prominent brain experts. It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its findings have electrified the International scientific community.

Earth-Shaking Science Published, clinical reports show replenishing your body’s natural supply of Phosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpen your memory and concentration — but also helps “perk you up” and put you in a better mood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your body’s production of the hormone cortisol.

When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

Officially Reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Lipogen PS Plus is the ONLY Health Supplement that has a “Qualified Health Claim for both Cognitive Dysfunction and Dementia”.

My Memory Started to Scare Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it.

It’s great! I have actual recall now, which is super. After about 6 weeks of taking it on a daily basis is when I began to notice that I wasn’t forgetting things anymore.

Thanks to PS for giving me my memory back. It’s given me a lot more self-confidence and self-esteem. I would not trust my memory without it.
