OSO MUDSLIDE

Panel to hold last meeting The people making safety recommendations after the disaster must finalize their report and deliver it by Dec. 15. By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — This past weekend was crunch time for members of an expert panel

tasked with making safety recommendations after the Oso mudslide. The Joint SR 530 Landslide Commission is scheduled to convene its final meeting

Tuesday. That’s when they need to finalize the report they’ll deliver to Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick by Dec. 15, when it is expected to be made public. “We have a lot of fine-tuning to do,” Executive Director Kathy Lombardo said last week. “The focus for that meeting is really

wrapping up our work and finishing the report.” Each of the 12 commissioners received a draft copy to pore over during the holiday weekend. At past meetings, they’ve divided their work into two general areas: the emergency See PANEL, Page A2

EVERETT — For those with developmental disabilities, life after high school can be lonely. That’s how it was for Kathy Burke’s son before she got him involved at All Aboard. The

nonprofit that offers activities and a place to socialize for adults with special needs. All Aboard serves about 250 people across Snohomish County and has outgrown its building on Broadway. “We’ve hit the wall on space,” said Burke, of Edmonds. “We

Aviation insiders aren’t worried Republicans will take control of Congress, but the commercial aerospace industry exerts much more influence than political clout. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Republicancontrolled Congress doesn’t promise much upside for Washington’s aerospace industry, but lawmakers and industry insiders say they aren’t too worried. Republicans take control of the U.S. Senate in January, and Washington’s two Democratic senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, won’t have as much influence. Murray and Cantwell will lose their Senate committee chairs, including the Budget Committee for Murray and the Aviation Operations, Safety and Security Subcommittee, which oversees the Federal Aviation Administration, for Cantwell. But they have established themselves as aerospace experts, and expertise can exert influence across party lines. “You can work in either environment,” be it a Republican or Democratic majority, Cantwell said in an interview. More important, clout in Congress doesn’t transcend the greatest influence on Washington’s aerospace industry — the commercial aviation market. Demand is booming and is expected to stay strong for 20 years. “The commercial marketplace is the commercial marketplace,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst with the Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia. “There’s only so much politicians can do.” “There’s a myth that if we get the right incentives” for companies, it will drive economic activity, he said. Such measures can influence the market, but Congress or a legislature can’t mandate worldwide demand for airplanes, Aboulafia said. See AVIATION, Page A2

The company with the most at stake, Boeing, has little to say about the new Congress. “Boeing remains focused on forging positive, constructive and informative relationships with members on both sides of the aisle,” the company said in a written statement, when asked. One significant issue that will be in play with Republicans in charge of both chambers is federal financing for U.S. exports. Renewing the U.S. Export-Import Bank is a top priority for the Chicago-based company. Boeing executives have testified in Congress that letting the bank’s authority expire would give foreign competitors a distinct advantage in selling airplanes. The Ex-Im Bank provides financing for sales of U.S. goods overseas. Congress has to periodically reauthorize it. Those votes typically happen with little fanfare, but the bank has become a target of tea

The commission’s charter lays out a special duty to consult with six Stillaguamish Valley leaders: Sauk-Suiattle Tribal Chairwoman Norma Joseph, Stillaguamish Tribal Chairman Shawn Yanity, Tulalip Tribal Chairman Herman Williams Sr., Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin, Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Oso Fire Chief Willy Harper. Lombardo expects the final report to be 20 to 30 pages, though that’s subject to change. Inslee’s staff already has seen an early draft, she said. The commission has met nine times since August. Commissioners have

party Republicans, who say the agency is essentially a corporate subsidy with too little oversight. Boeing is the biggest beneficiary, but bank officials are quick to point out that a large number of loans are for sales by small U.S. firms. A compromise this fall between opponents and supporters in the House extended the bank’s authority to June. U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, of Spokane, is chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and is fourth in the House majority leadership. She’s also the only member of the Washington delegation to not commit to a long-term Ex-Im reauthorization. She did, however, back the September extension. “Going forward, I believe critical reforms will establish safeguards that will lead to better accountability and will enable increased transparency, benefitting both the recipients and the taxpayers,” McMorris Rodgers said in an email to The Daily Herald. Coming out in favor of the Ex-Im Bank could

discussed the need to map areas of the state with the greatest potential geologic danger, including deepseated landslides, debris flows, debris avalanches and potential impact areas from the runout. To make that information available to anyone who needs it, they’ve contemplated a statewide clearinghouse of map data. Since mapping will take

cost her credibility with Tea Party Republicans in Congress, making her leadership job more difficult. “I hope Cathy uses her voice” to support the bank, said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett. “It’s been lacking on the Ex-Im debate.” Larsen said he isn’t too concerned about Democrats losing the Senate, in terms of Washington’s aerospace industry. Even in the minority, Washington Democrats can get things done for that sector, such as getting federal money for workforce training, he said. Washington’s aerospace industry is focused mostly on the commercial market. However, Boeing has two big defense projects — the KC-46 aerial-refueling tanker and the P-8 maritime patrol aircraft — both based in metro Puget Sound. The tanker has faced multiple schedule delays in development, and Boeing has paid a $425 million pre-tax charge — $272 million after taxes — for budget overruns. But Boeing says the program is on track to deliver the first 18 tankers to the U.S. Air Force in August 2017, as

a long time, commissioners have suggested forming a task force to follow that initiative over the long term. To address landslide concerns and interpret the mapping, the state could require counties, or multicounty regions, to hire staff geologists. On the emergencyresponse side, topics have included better funding for emergency-management departments throughout

required by the contract. While some Republicans in Congress want to increase the Pentagon’s budget, individual programs, including the KC-46 tanker, could still be cut. Last May, the House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., proposed trimming the number of tankers to be built next year from seven to six. His proposal wouldn’t have reduced the number to be delivered. Rather, it would have spread the deliveries over more years. Stretching out the production schedule could mean fewer jobs. Big defense projects are always targets when drafting budgets, Cantwell said. “We have to be on our toes” for cuts to the KC-46 and P-8 programs, she said. Boeing, though, has carefully spread its influence around the country. It has significant operations or suppliers in nearly every state. “Boeing is not stupid,” said Scott Hamilton, an aerospace analyst and owner of Issaquah-based Leeham Co. “They have a very good congressional lobbying team.”

WSU group working on breath test for pot Associated Press SEATTLE — Researchers at Washington State University are working on a breath test to determine if a driver is under the influence of pot. The News Tribune reported that law enforcement has a test for alcohol but they don’t have a tool to test for marijuana impairment. Right now, officers must use blood tests to determine if THC is present in a driver’s blood. But WSU chemistry professor Herbert Hill said existing technologies like those used by airport security agents to detect drugs and explosives can be altered to test breath for THC. Hill said his team hopes to start testing on humans early next year. The Washington State Patrol said they welcome anything that gets impaired drivers off the road.

Thanks to a recovering economy, Community Transit will expand service in June 2015. The proposal creates additional trips on select local and commuter routes and Saturday service. It also restores a modified Sunday and holiday service. To help keep revenues in line with expenses, Community Transit is proposing a fare increase of 25 cents on adult local, commuter and DART paratransit trips that would go into effect July 1, 2015.

Mill Creek budget calls for tax hike By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — The city is calling for higher taxes in 2015, but the greater revenue amounts to no more than a drop in the bucket for the proposed twoyear budget, which has spending exceeding income by about $2.7 million. People can weigh in before the City Council makes a decision on

the proposed budget at a public hearing at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. City Manager Ken Armstrong drew up the biennial budget before he was put on paid leave last week. The council intends to fire him at the end of December. Finance Director Landy Manuel is expected to present the budget to the council on Tuesday. He was appointed acting city manager.

The budget plans for expenditures at $26.4 million, with $23.7 million in revenue. “This gap isn’t as much a spending problem as it is an issue of insufficient revenues,” Armstrong said in an interview before he was put on leave last week. The city’s main sources of income are property and sales taxes. Armstrong likened Mill Creek’s reliance on those revenue streams to a two-legged

stool that can’t stay upright on its own. Counting on so few sources leaves the city without many options, particularly when the economy is down, he said. To add cash to the city’s coffers, the council in November approved a property tax increase of 2 percent for 2015. The city estimates that the owner of a $450,000 home with an average increase in property value will pay about $25 more next year.

Property taxes have increased by 1.00 percent to 2.85 percent in Mill Creek each year since 2011. The council also recently approved a 12.3 percent rise in the emergency medical service levy for 2015. That will amount to another $24 per year for the owner of a $450,000 home, according to city estimates. The two increases combined See BUDGET, Page A6

Balancing varied interests Lynnwood High’s Kaelyn Stanton equally passionate about music, career in nursing By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

Kaelyn Stanton, 16, a junior at Lynnwood High School Question: The nonprofit group Music4Life loaned you the Pelland trumpet, a performance-level instrument, for this school year. The loan is based on recognizing exceptional talent in a young trumpet player. Can you tell me a little about this trumpet? Answer: It’s a really a professional level trumpet. The tone is incomparable. I love this horn so much. It gives me a sense of confidence I didn’t feel with the instruments I’ve owned in the past. This one sort of makes me feel like a real musician and to be at the best level that I can be. The tone is beautiful on it. It’s definitely better than anything I’ve ever played. Q: What color is the trumpet? A: It’s silver. Q: How long have you been playing the trumpet? A: Since 5th grade. That’s when I was 9 or 10. Q: What interested you in the trumpet? A: Over the summer, between 4th and 5th grade, I had learned the clarinet. My 5th grade band teacher found me holding the trumpet. He said, ‘Wow not enough girls play the trumpet. We could use some more girls.’ I just wanted to be that oddball, I guess. Q: What band activities are you involved in? A: At school I’m in the wind ensemble, the honors band and the first jazz ensemble. Also in the school’s pep band. I also participate this year in contest in February where we play a solo for the judge. If we’re good enough we get to go to state. Those are the main things I do with other music students. Q: What other activities are you involved in? A: I do Taekwondo and honors See SUPER, Page A5

Don’t be an ‘easy target’ for thieves

Lynnwood High School junior Kaelyn Stanton, 16, intends to remain active in music while she goes to college to study nursing.

f you missed Gray Thursday or Black Friday or Small Business Saturday and are skipping Cyber Monday today (but hopefully not Giving Tuesday) — and you aren’t seeing red by Wednesday — remember to keep those shopping bags hidden away. This is good advice any time of year, but particularly around the holidays when in our crazed states we forget basic prevention measures. Illustrating this is the Lynnwood Police Crime Prevention Unit, which, with help from the Volunteers in Public Safety, surveyed parked vehicles Oct. 28-29 at Edmonds Community College as part of its Car Prowl Prevention Campaign. Of the 270 cars surveyed, half were deemed “easy targets” for thieves. A majority of the vehicles had charger cords plugged into outlets. Although cords themselves are not a draw, the things they attach to are and may attract a thief’s attention, said Lisa Wellington, crime prevention specialist with the Lynnwood Police Department. “If the car is unlocked, the thief would surely take it.” “We also noticed purses, lots of loose change, skateboards, open windows, unlocked cars, GPS units, iPods, cellphones, expensive looking boots (and) clothing, personal ID... and lots of food,” she said.

Unique gifts featured at Citrine Health in Everett

hose looking for unique and thoughtful holiday gifts shouldn’t forget the shopping opportunities available at Citrine Health and the Women’s Wellness Center in Everett. The nonprofit center for women’s health and wellness features many unique gifts that ultimately give back to the community. “We have items from local artists as well as from artists from around the world through our Fair Trade offerings,” said Citrine director Kerri Mallams. “When you buy one of these gifts, it’s a gift to the artist, a gift to the person you are giving it to and a gift to yourself for doing the right thing.” It’s also a way to find something unique you won’t find in every shop. There are beautiful handmade bowls, baskets and other kitchen items. “We have children’s toys and unique instruments,” Mallams said. There is also an array of handmade jewelry, accessories and other beautiful things to wear. Mallams particularly likes the scarves and shawls they carry. There is also a full line of yoga wear. The center also has a number of gifts under $10 that would make unique office or Secret Santa gifts. The best part about giving these items is the giver can know they were ethically produced and those who made them were paid

a fair price for their labor. And supporting Citrine means helping women and their families in our local communities too. Another gift option at the Women’s Wellness Center includes certificates for affordable spa services. These gift certificates can be for dollar amounts or for specific services, Mallams explained. That way givers can either allow their loved ones to choose their own service or give a specific service they know they need. Perhaps the most popular service at the Women’s Wellness Center is massage. Choose from a one-hour massage or specialty massage services. Decadent honey foot rubs can be added to massage services. A new service recently added is Reflexology. This complements Reiki that has been a popular spa option at the center for many years. Also available are affordable paraffin hand dips and relaxation services such as hypnotherapy. All of these services are available to the public, but become even more affordable with a membership to the Women’s Wellness Center. The Women’s Wellness Center is not membership-oriented like a gym though there is circuit training equipment such as ellipticals and cardio bikes available to members. Instead, the very afford-

able memberships offer deep discounts to classes and spa services as well as invitations to special free health screenings and other events. But the center wants to keep services accessible to the greatest number of women possible. So membership is not required to access the many classes that have made the center so popular. Classes can be purchased a single class at a time or by a multi-class

pass. That means ladies can try a class once to see how they like it before purchasing more. A class pass also makes a great gift. If someone you know has been thinking about trying yoga or Pilates, it’s a good way to give them an opportunity to try it first. It’s also a good way to see which type of yoga might be right for you because the center has more than one type of yoga to choose from.

Beginners and women of all sizes and fitness levels are welcome at the Women’s Wellness Center. It is a warm and non-intimidating environment. Another non-intimidating part of Citrine Health and the Women’s Wellness Center is the new Bra Shop. It specializes in intimate support solutions for every body shape and size including prosthesis and post-mastectomy bras. The Bra Shop also offers gift

certificates so recipients can come in for a fitting before they choose their gift. “We have professional fitters here so you can be sure it is going to be comfortable,” Mallams said.

past customs officials. “Literally, we sneak most of it through,” he said. Meanwhile, families waited in long lines overnight for their chance to see the doctors. Mallahan’s team did pediatric examinations for 390 children in one week. Some were fitted with hearing aids while others had to have surgeries. Mallahan, who is involved with Everett’s Irish Soccer Club, brought 100 soccer balls to give to those who were recovering from painful surgeries. He also brought shoes and uniforms. “It’s like, ‘Whoo-hoo!’” Anderst said. “Those soccer balls are the greatest pickme-up after a surgery.” The medical team also provided follow-up care to children who were seen on previous visits.

While we were talking about I-5 south the day before Thanksgiving and shopping malls last week, I thought I might start taking votes for The Worst Parking Lot in Snohomish County. The Street Smarts blog and the Herald Facebook page have been racking up responses to this one, so let’s give my fellow lovers of newsprint a chance to weigh in, too. A co-worker of mine says, hands down, it’s the whole Smokey Point Costco-Target-Marshalls (etcetera) complex. I sympathise yet disagree — although in distance she’s not too far off. Worst parking lot dishonors have got to go to the Marysville Winco grocery store on 116th Street NE, where three entry and exit points on a tight curve make me wonder if a philosophy major took over design (with a trichotomy

Richard Dittenberger of Arlington wonders if the state will make changes to signage in order to make it easier for motorists to know which lane they need to be in to get on I-5 south from 172nd Street NE (Highway 531) in Smokey Point. That ramp is a right turn onto a loop ramp. Until the new interchange was completed in 2009, it had been a left-hand turn onto the southbound on-ramp. In particular, Dittenberger points to a sign that directs drivers north for the northbound I-5 on-ramp and directs drivers west to continue to the southbound I-5 on-ramp. “Many drivers unfamiliar with the interchange think it is a left turn past the bridge and at the last minute realize it is a right turn past the bridge. Then they try to switch three lanes to get in the right-hand lane — very difficult and accident prone with so much traffic,” he said. He suggests the state add “Second Right” to the southbound portion of the sign for clarification.

Mallahan first went to Guatemala in 2003. He has since recruited volunteers to join his mission, traveling twice a year to the Central American country. He has established three hearing clinics in Guatemala. He helped train local technicians to test patients, fit hearing aids and identify surgical candidates. Eventually, he hopes to have the technicians trained well enough to handle patients on their own, enabling him to establish three more clinics elsewhere. Unlike other medical teams, Mallahan tries to avoid Guatemala City. “In order to serve the poorest of the poor, you have to get out into the country,” he said. This year, his team worked in Morales, in the eastern part of the country, and in San Benito, in the north. They also provided

services in other locations. The Mill Creek Rotary Club helped the team with $25,000 to buy hearing aids, computers and equipment for the clinics, including three ear lights that can send data, pictures and videos to doctors in the U.S. The technology enables Guatemalan technicians to consult with the American specialists year-round. “The funny thing is there were three audiologists on the trip who were jealous because they don’t have equipment that nice in their offices,” Mallahan said. The team focuses their work in Guatemala because more people experience hearing loss there than in other parts of the world, Mallahan said. The cause can be genetic or environmental. The longer it takes for a person to get treatment, the more severe the hearing problems can become.

That’s why Mallahan focuses on helping children. “The younger we find them and get a hearing aid on them, the better they do,” he said. Over the past decade, Mallahan has been able to see the difference he has made in the lives of his patients and their families. On his first trip, he treated a young girl who had severe hearing loss. Her parents told Mallahan that other doctors said there was nothing they could do to help her. Mallahan fitted her with a hearing aid. For the first time, she was able to hear. The audiologist has continued to see her during follow-up visits through the years. This year, he learned of her future plans. “She just graduated from school as a teacher for children with disabilities,” he said. “Now that’s a success story.”

and AP classes. I have a (weekend) job at McDonald’s. I don’t do sports any more. I wanted to make more time for my AP classes. Q: Which AP classes are you taking? A: AP language and composition and AP biology. Q: What are you plans after you graduate from high school? A: I’m thinking about doing all my prerequisites at Shoreline and Edmonds community colleges and hopefully to get a bachelors in nursing. I’m hoping to be a nurse, particularly at the University of Washington hospital. I volunteered there over the summer. I like the area, the campus of the school. Working in the hospital was a lot of fun. It kind of gave me an idea of being a nurse. That’s my most definite plan for the moment. Q: Do you do any volunteer work? A: In June and July last year I volunteered at the Edmonds Summer Music School as a staff member. I made the environment more fun for the kids. That’s what the volunteer staff do. We help teach them techniques in music and good practicing tips. That was really fun.

Q: How old were the students? A: The youngest is 6th grade and the oldest is 9th grade. Q: What’s your favorite class? A: Well, besides band, I really like biology. I like English, too. Probably between those two and band. Q: When does band practice start? A: I have zero period and second period band. Jazz band starts at 6:20 a.m. It’s so early for such loud noises. Then you have to focus and it’s like it’s too early. Q: Are there any life lessons you’ve learned from band? A: How to work as a team. It’s important for everyone to do their share of their work so that the product of the whole group can be satisfactory. Q: Are you considering pursuing music in college and beyond? A: I was thinking about it for a really long time. I was thinking about minoring in it. I was hoping our school offered AP music theory class. Music theory is really interesting to me, chord progressions. That’s the kind of classes I would take if I want to minor in music. I definitely want to be in band in whatever college I go to. I want to stick with it through college at least and be in the ensembles. Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PUGET SOUND ENERGY CUSTOMERS ABOUT PROPOSED CHANGES IN RATES Puget Sound Energy on Oct. 30, 2014, on Nov. 20, 2014, and on Nov. 25, 2014, filed requests with the state Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to adjust electric and natural gas rates. The requested changes, proposed to be effective on Jan 1, 2015, are to line items listed on PSE bills: • Federal Wind Power Credit: Listed on electric bills, the credit is an annual true-up of the pass-through of federal income tax benefits derived from PSE’s investments in the utility-owned and operated Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility and the Wild Horse Wind Facility requests to lower the credit, which will increase electric rates. • Renewable Energy Credit: Listed on electric bills, the change in the credit is primarily due to completion of the one-year pass through of proceeds from the sales of the environmental attributes of biogas used to fuel electric generation. The requested lower credit will result in an increase in electric rates. • Merger Credit: Listed on electric and natural gas bills, the Merger Credit, established in February 2009, will be increased, causing a decrease in all electric and some natural gas rates for customers in 2015. NATURAl GAS RATES: For households with natural gas service using a 12-month average of 68 therms per month, the effect of the adjusted Merger Credit will increase the PSE bill by 1 cent, or 0.01 percent. ElECTRIC RATES: The combined effect of all three rate changes for the typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity per month will increase the PSE bill by 90 cents or 0.98 percent in the monthly bill. The overall average change for electric customers is as follows: Type of Schedule—Electric Service Percent Residential—Schedule 7 .....................................................................0.85 Increase Secondary Voltage General—Schedules 24, 25, 26 and 29 ....................0.83 Increase Outdoor Lighting—Schedules 50–59 ....................................................0.11 Increase Primary Voltage General—Schedules 31, 35, 43 ...................................0.83 Increase Campus Rate—Schedule 40 ................................................................1.14 Increase High Voltage General—Schedules 46, 49..............................................1.00 Increase Choice/Retail Wheeling—Schedules 449, 459 ......................................0.19 Decrease The UTC will review each of these filings, and has the authority to set final rates that may vary from PSE’s requests, either higher or lower or structured differently, depending on the results of its review. Comments or Questions: PSE customers may comment to the UTC on these proposed filings by: using the online comment form, at http://www.utc.wa.gov/comment; emailing to comments@utc.wa.gov; faxing to 360-664-4291 or mailing your comments to the UTC at: P.O. Box 47250, Olympia, WA, 98504-7250. If you write, include your name and mailing address, and the name of the company (PSE) and a description of the filings. You may also ask questions of the UTC and request notification of the open meeting at which these proposals will be considered by the commission. The UTC will provide reasonable accommodation to participants with disabilities. If you need such accommodation, please contact the commission at (360) 664-1132 or human_resources@utc.wa.gov. The public is represented by the Public Counsel Section of the Washington Attorney General’s office.

of what, the, heck). Who’s with me? Or do you have one that can beat both of those?

“Doesn’t take a rocket scientist.” Tom Pearce, a spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation, said Dittenberger “brings up a good point.” Signs have been added once already. “In 2011, based on feedback from other drivers, we added an overhead sign at the ramps signal on the east side of the overpass that directs drivers into the right through lane. We were limited on how large the overhead sign could be and understand that some drivers may not see it. “Updated guidelines for interchange signing now recommend additional messages farther in advance to let drivers know if they need to turn left or right, similar to what the reader recommends,” Pearce said. “We’re in the process of evaluating options to revise existing signs, or possibly install new signs, to clarify which lane drivers heading for southbound I-5 should be in. We expect to have changes made by early next year.” Have a question? Email me at streetsmarts@ heraldnet.com. Please include your name and city of residence.

amount to $242,700 in additional revenue each year for the city’s budget. There are no other tax or fee increases planned for 2015. In the future, Armstrong said, the city might have to consider new revenue streams, such as implementing utility taxes, to balance the budget. The former city manager pointed out that Mill Creek is one of a few cities in the area that doesn’t charge taxes on utilities. Additionally, Armstrong said, implementing city car-licence fees or creating a transportation benefit taxing district might help balance Mill Creek’s budget. Meanwhile, Mill Creek is running out of undeveloped land. In the past, the city has seen large windfalls from new construction fees. In 2015, the city does not have plans for new development other than the housing which Polygon Homes is building at the East Gateway Urban Village along 132nd Street SE. Armstrong said the city can look forward to revenue from redeveloping aging commercial spaces. “But it’s really hard to predict when that might happen or to what extent,” he said. To avoid further depleting reserves, city staff members have given the council a list of potential cost savings in the proposed budget. If the

Are you tired of the way money buys influence in our political system? Are you hoping for a way to turn things around? Come to a community forum on Wednesday, December 3 at the Edmonds Senior Center from 7 to 9 p.m. to explore options for reversing the trend toward more and bigger spending. The forum is being organized by the League of Women Voters of Snohomish County and co-sponsored by Fix Democracy First and the Edmonds Senior Center. First, we will learn from Jim Street of Fix Democracy First how recent Supreme Court decisions have stifled campaign finance laws and the status of current efforts at the national level. Then, we will turn to the state level to learn about the state Public Disclosure Commission from Grant Degginger, chairman of the PDC Commission. Senator Marko Liias will give us a perspective from a candidate’s point of view. Jon Bauer, Opinion Editor of the Herald newspaper, will moderate. Questions and comments from the audience will complete the program. 1186874

Budget

council implemented all of the ideas, it would save the city $844,500. One suggestion was to delay hiring an assistant city clerk, an engineer and a legal assistant for six months. That would save the city $137,500. Other ways to conserve money include delaying the hire of a police officer or eliminating the city’s purchase of the Silver Lake Water property to alleviate crowding at City Hall. The proposed budget has an increase in spending of more than 14 percent from the last biennium. Contributing to about half of the greater spending is a contract for services from Fire District 7, the cost of which is going up $1.6 million through 2016. The city’s labor costs also contribute to the overspending, Armstrong said. Mill Creek expects to pay $500,000 more in benefits in the next two years. The city’s health insurance costs are going up by 5 percent. The state is mandating that the city’s contributions to retirement increase next year. The city’s contracts with labor unions call for raises in 2015. Police are set to get 3 percent raises, while other union employees are to receive 1.5 percent pay bumps. Non-union workers are not expected to receive pay increases. There are no cuts or additions to city services planned for 2015. The City Council is expected to vote on the proposed budget for 2015 and 2016 before the end of December.

Retailers set for Cyber Monday By Mae Anderson Associated Press

NEW YORK — After a busy holiday weekend in shopping malls, millions of Americans are expected to log on and keep shopping on the day dubbed Cyber Monday. That day, the Monday after Thanksgiving, has been the biggest online shopping day of the year since 2010. The day could take on added importance after a Thanksgiving weekend that saw fewer shoppers and lower spending than last year, according to some estimates. Retailers have been pushing deals all month and particularly the past week, hoping to spur customers to spend. That may have taken away some spending from Thanksgiving weekend. Research firm comScore expects people to spend about $2.5 billion on Cyber Monday. There’s reason to think a lot of dollars are migrating online. PayPal said its global mobile payment volume jumped 47 percent on Thanksgiving Day compared with last year. WalMart said it had more than 500 million page views on Thanksgiving, and eBay says it sold 2,000 iPad Air 2 tablets for $399

at a rate of one a second. Amazon has been offering special deals since Nov. 21, adding new discounts as often as every 10 minutes for eight days straight. Deals include up to 45 percent off some Samsung TVs and 28 percent off Beats by Dre headphones, selling for $275. Wal-Mart said it has doubled its Cyber Week deals to 500 compared with last year, including up to half off some TVs, tablets and toys with freeshipping offers. Toys R Us is offering online

deals for 11 days that began the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and also has free-shipping offers. Cyberdeals include $15 off Disney “Frozen” Princess dolls that are regularly $50 and $20 off a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battroborg Electronic Battle Game that is usually $80. The name “Cyber Monday” was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation’s online arm, Shop.org, to encourage people to shop online. After retailers revved up deals for the day, it became the

busiest online shopping day in 2010. The name was also a nod to online shopping being done at work, where faster connections made it easier to browse, less of a factor now. Cyber Monday comes after a weekend that saw 5.3 percent fewer shoppers and 11 percent less spending, according to estimates by the National Retail Federation. “Online is nowhere near its maturity, so Cyber Monday should be big, with a lot of strength in the days leading up to it,” Forester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said. “More consumers are spending more shopping dollars online.” She expects two spikes in online shopping: one during the long Thanksgiving weekend, including Cyber Monday, and one later in December when shipping deadlines to get items by Christmas start to hit. Research firm comScore expects online sales to rise 16 percent to $61 billion during the November and December shopping season, up 16 percent from last year. ComScore tracks U.S. online sales based on observed behavior of a representative U.S. consumer panel of 2 million Web users.

Pressure intense for grand jury Jurors in Ferguson, Missouri, faced safety fears while poring over numerous records. Associated Press

The start On the first day, McCulloch assured jurors their identities would be kept secret. But he encouraged them not to wear their grand jury badges when entering and exiting his office to avoid attracting the notice of protesters or reporters. McCulloch then turned the case over to two assistants — Kathi Alizadeh, the prosecutor who was on call for August homicides, and Sheila Whirley, a prosecutor previously assigned to the grand jury. McCulloch did not participate in any additional grand jury sessions. The prosecutors began by focusing on the physical evidence, calling as witnesses a medical examiner, crime scene investigators and a forensic pathologist.

The key players On Sept. 10, grand jurors turned their attention to Dorian Johnson, a friend who was with Brown on Aug. 9, the day of his death. Prosecutors

No bomb found after phone threat NEW YORK— Authorities at John F. Kennedy International Airport said they found nothing dangerous Sunday on an American Airlines plane after a bomb threat was phoned in and the aircraft arrived from Spain. Flight 67 from Barcelona landed safely in New York City about noon, according to Laura Masvideo, a spokeswoman for the airline. The aircraft was taken to a location near the tarmac where the 200 passengers plus crew members were taken off the aircraft, according to Joe Pentangelo, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police.

Illinois: Risks to infants Too many U.S. infants sleep with blankets, pillows or other unsafe bedding that may lead to suffocation or sudden infant death syndrome, despite guidelines recommending against the practice. That’s according to researchers who say 17 years of national data show parents need to be better informed. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed annual telephone surveys involving nearly 20,000 parents. Almost 7 out of 8 used blankets or other soft bedding for their infants in 1993. That dropped sharply over the years but by 2010, more than half still were doing so. The practice was most common among young mothers, blacks and Hispanics. The study was published Monday in Pediatrics.

Hawaii: Plane’s tank empty A preliminary report by federal aviation investigators said a small plane crash-landed off Oahu because of an empty fuel tank. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, pilot Greg Harding intended to put fuel into the tank after the Sept. 24 flight. Harding, a former Alaska bush pilot, was flying the Piper PA-25-260 to tow a glider. He was not injured.

AROUND THE WORLD

By David A. Lieb FERGUSON, Mo. — The grand jury responsible for reviewing the fatal shooting of Michael Brown faced “an awesome burden” and “an awful lot of work.” So said St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, addressing jurors when they convened Aug. 20, not long after Brown’s death touched off riots, looting and repeated clashes between protesters and heavily armored police. Ninety-seven days later, those jurors decided not to indict white Ferguson officer Darren Wilson for the death of the black 18-year-old. Their reasoning was not explained, because Missouri law keeps the deliberations of grand jurors confidential. But in an unusual move, McCulloch released thousands of pages of testimony that jurors heard, plus more than 250 photos and 25 television news videos. The materials reveal that some jurors raised concerns about their personal safety as they drew close to a decision, and that jurors not only listened to, but questioned, the dozens of witnesses that appeared before them. A look at how the process unfolded:

Protesters and police clashed following an NFL football game between the St. Louis Rams and the Oakland Raiders as protests continued following a grand jury’s decision not to indict a Ferguson police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

played several TV news interviews of Johnson and a two-hour audio recording of an interview with Johnson conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a separate civil-rights investigation into Brown’s death. Jurors watched surveillance video of Brown robbing a convenience store of cigarillos shortly before he was killed. Then they heard testimony from Johnson, who portrayed Wilson as the aggressor in a physical confrontation that began when Wilson urged Brown and Johnson to quit walking in the street. Johnson said Brown had his hands raised when he was shot. On Sept. 16, jurors heard Wilson’s version of events. Prosecutors first called a Ferguson police sergeant, St. Louis County detective and FBI agent to testify about what Wilson told them. Then Wilson spoke to jurors. He said he realized Brown was a robbery suspect after initially telling him to get out of the street. When he backed up his vehicle to cut off Brown, Wilson said Brown hit him and grabbed his gun during a struggle through his window. During an ensuing foot chase, Wilson said Brown turned back to charge at him with one hand clenched in a fist and the other under his shirt at his waist. That’s when Wilson said he opened fire.

The witnesses From Sept. 23 through Nov. 4,

No severance package Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson did not receive a severance package when he resigned over the weekend, the St. Louis suburb’s mayor said Sunday. Wilson, 28, won’t receive any further pay or benefits, and he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told reporters a day after Wilson tendered his resignation, which was effective immediately. Wilson, who is white, had been on administrative leave since he killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, during an Aug. 9 confrontation. A grand jury decided Monday not to indict him, sparking days of sometimes violent protests in Ferguson and other cities. Wilson wrote in his resignation letter that his “continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance I cannot allow.” Associated Press

grand jurors heard from dozens of witnesses with conflicting accounts of what they had seen. Most recounted a struggle between Brown and Wilson at the officer’s patrol car. But there was no consensus about what occurred moments later. Many said Brown’s hands were raised when he was shot, though they were in disagreement about how high and in what fashion. Some said Brown’s hands were facing outward as if surrendering while others said they were turned inward, as if gesturing. Other witnesses insisted Brown’s hands weren’t raised at all, and they backed up Wilson’s account of Brown appearing to move toward the officer.

The wrap-up Grand jurors began meeting more frequently in November.

Some raised concerns about their personal safety and the potential for the identities to be discovered, prompting prosecutors on Nov. 10 to assure they would do their best to keep them safe. In their final several sessions, jurors heard from more forensic experts, including a pathologist who had been hired by Brown’s family. Their closing witness was a St. Louis County detective who had testified twice before. He fielded questions about the vantage points of eyewitnesses and Wilson’s account of the events, and he confirmed that police had no video of the shooting. Jurors asked about the standards for police to use deadly force, then deliberated for nearly three hours on Nov. 21. They took the weekend off and returned to deliberate further on Nov. 24, when their decision was announced.

Pro-democracy protesters clashed with police early Monday as they tried to surround Hong Kong government headquarters, stepping up their movement for genuine democratic reforms after camping out on the city’s streets for more than two months. Repeating scenes that have become familiar since the movement began in late September, protesters carrying umbrellas — which have become symbols of the prodemocracy movement — battled police armed with pepper spray, batons and riot shields. After student leaders told a big crowd rallying Sunday evening at the main protest site outside government headquarters that they would escalate their campaign, hundreds of protesters pushed past police lines on the other side of the complex from the protest site. They blocked traffic on a main road, but were stopped by police barricades from going down a side road to Chief Executive Leung Chun-Ying’s office.

Uruguay: Return to power Ruling party candidate Tabare Vazquez easily won Uruguay’s presidential election Sunday, returning to power a left-leaning coalition that has legalized gay marriage and moved to create the world’s first state-run marijuana marketplace. The runoff vote had drawn international attention because Vazquez’s rival, center-right candidate Luis Lacalle Pou, had promised to undo much of the plan to put the government in charge of regulating the production, distribution and sale of marijuana on a nationwide scale. Lacalle Pou, 41, said late Sunday that he had called Vazquez to concede and “wish him great success” after three exit polls showed him losing by a more than 10-percentage point margin, a defeat seen as saving the pot plan from possible extinction.

Brazil: Mass wedding Nearly 2,000 Brazilian couples have said “I do” in the largest collective wedding Rio de Janeiro has seen. The state of Rio de Janeiro hosted the ceremony for low-income couples who can’t afford to get married. With relatives joining in, Sunday’s celebration at the indoor Maracanazinho sports venue gathered about 12,000 people. Some couples arrived on a commuter train where brides polished their looks, applying makeup and fixing their hairdos. Rio de Janeiro has promoted the mass wedding for eight years in a tradition called “The Day of I Do”, which is for people with a monthly family income of less than $1,000. At the end they get a free marriage certificate. From Herald news services

Out with the old

Look for banks to swap credit and debit cards for those with a chip By Debra Smith

The Herald Business Journal

Many banks and credit card companies will switch out the old magnetic credit and debit cards with cards embedded with a microchip. While the cards can prevent theft, retailers may be liable for fraud if the businesses don’t update their equipment. The old swipe-and-sign method of paying with a credit card may soon be a thing of the past. By fall next year, many credit and debit cards with a magnetic stripe will be replaced by cards embedded with a microchip. The new cards look and feel like a regular credit card, but are far more difficult for crooks to counterfeit. Shoppers slide the cards into a slot, and the terminal reads the chip. A customer signs for the purchase or punches in a personal identification number. Each time a chip card is used, a one-time code is created that’s needed to approve the transaction, which provides an additional layer of security. This feature is nearly impossible to replicate in counterfeit cards. It’s called EMV technology and it was developed by Europay, MasterCard and Visa. These companies are driving the change in this country by shifting the liability for counterfeit fraudulent activity to merchants who can’t process EMV chip cards beginning Oct. 1, 2015. Retailers who don’t upgrade to chip card terminals can still read the new cards, but they become liable if any counterfeit fraud takes place during the transaction. The technology isn’t new. Chip cards are the standard in Europe. In places in which these smart cards are used frequently, counterfeit fraud is significantly lower. Credit card fraud has received more attention lately after several massive cyber-attacks of major retailers. Last year, crooks stole personal or credit card data for millions of people who shopped at Target. Credit card executives told senators at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in February that those kinds of attacks would be harder to pull off once EMV technology is implemented.

Many banks and credit card companies will switch out the old magnetic credit and debit cards with cards embedded with a microchip. these companies are working to shift the liability for fraudulent activity to merchants.

The future may not involve any card. A system like Apple Pay, a mobile payment service available on some Apple devices including the iPhone, allows customers to use their phone at the checkout. The U.S. is the last major market in the world to make the shift, partly because there hasn’t been an incentive until now. The cards are more expensive for banks to issue and many merchants don’t want to buy new terminals to read the cards. Many major retailers are gearing up for the change. Banks are weighing when to start issuing the cards, including BECU, which serves nearly 900,000 members. Fraud is a significant issue for banks. BECU spokesman Todd Pietzsch declined to say how much the credit union loses to fraud each year, but he did say that one similar in size to BECU would lose “easily several million dollars a year.” The credit union has to weigh the value of issuing chip cards before next fall when most retailers don’t have the terminals to read the cards.

The cards cost two or three times what a regular credit card costs. It might make sense to issue the new cards to customers who plan to travel overseas. “We want to do what’s in the best interest of our membership,” Pietzsch said. “We’re evaluating the options.” While EMV technology does a good job of preventing fraud at what are called “card-present transactions”— the shopping you do with your credit card in hand — it doesn’t make shopping online any more secure, said Bob Watford, a product manager for BECU. Other solutions are being explored to combat fraud online, he said. One idea is tokenization. Instead of submitting a full credit card number, an account is tied to a digital “token,” a cryptogram for that transaction that includes the last four digits of

the card but not all the sensitive data. The future may not involve any card. A system like Apple Pay, a mobile payment service available on some Apple devices including the iPhone, allows customers to use their phone at the checkout. IPhone users authenticate the purchase by holding their fingerprints to a sensor on the phone. “Maybe there will be more applications like Apple Pay and individuals won’t need a card,” he said. Whether Apple Pay, which just launched, becomes widely used is yet to be seen. This weekend CVS and Rite Aid both shut down the service. A Rite Aid spokeswoman told The New York Times the company is “still in the process of evaluating our mobile payment options.”

MONROE — Wal-Mart plans to open a new store in Monroe on Wednesday, the eighth location in Snohomish County. The approximately 156,000-square-foot shopping center at 19191 N. Kelsey St. will sell groceries and merchandise, and have a gas station and a fullservice pharmacy. The store will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The new store employs about 200 full- and part-time workers. “We are excited to open our doors just in time for the holidays,” store manager Don Albaugh said in a news release. Monroe and the surrounding community will look forward to more shopping options as well as having another 200 people with jobs, said Una Wirkebau-Hartt, executive director of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. “We’re super excited to have an opportunity to have another employer in town,” she said. Wal-Mart already has begun helping nonprofit organizations with donations of time and money for the Monroe Arts Council and upgrades of Wagner Auditorium. Wal-Mart plans to announce $7,500 in grants at the grand opening Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. at the store. Grant recipients include the Gold Bar Elementary PTA, Maltby Food Bank, Monroe Public Schools Foundation, Monroe-Sky Valley YMCA, Sky Valley Food Bank and the Monroe Arts Council. The retail giant is controversial in part due to its anti-union stance. On Friday, labor supporters demonstrated at Walmarts around the country, including 64 stores in Washington. The protests were supported by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Another concern is that WalMart siphons business from small retailers. Wirkebau-Hartt said that’s a worry particularly in a smaller town. But she said Monroe’s businesses have a loyal customer base. Smaller shops have some advantages over larger retailers, including more knowledge of products and more diversity of items in a store’s specialty, she said. Wal-Mart opened its last store in the county in September in Everett across from the Everett Mall. The chain opened a Marysville Walmart last year.

Learn the ins and outs of independent contracting By Ryan Davis Herald columnist

biz bits

mall businesses with tight cash flow may see hiring an independent contractor as a cheaper alternative to a statutory employee. Particularly during the busy holiday season, paying extra help outside of normal payroll may seem both expedient and lower federal and state payroll tax liability. However, failing to properly classify an employee can lead to substantial back taxes, fees and possibly fines. So how do you know if someone is an independent contractor? Unfortunately for the new entrepreneur, which agency you ask may result in a different

answer. The IRS offers a threepart test that is a good starting point for making the determination. However, it is important to note that the entirety of the relationship is analyzed if a dispute arises, so meeting one element may not be sufficient. Does the employer control the how and when of the work performed? An independent contractor is generally assigned a task or deliverable and the means by which the work is completed is left to the contractor. The contractor will usually not work employee set hours, though placing deadlines, or limitations on when the contractor has access to perform the work, are legitimate. What are the financial

arrangements for the work? Independent contractors often invoice for their work, and are usually paid for the outcome and not on an ongoing hourly basis. Some contractors may bill by the hour, but most agreements would include an estimate of total hours spent or a maximum cap. If you are using a contractor, create a written contract spelling out the financial terms including payment schedules, reimbursable expenses and scope of work. If the person works for multiple employers, this signals an independent contractor relationship. Is the relationship ongoing and is the work a key part of the business? Businesses often contract out non-core operations such as

bookkeeping, web design or janitorial services that are needed on an ongoing or ad-hoc basis. However, if the work performed is for customers of the business or is similar to the core business of your firm, the person may not qualify as an independent contractor. As an example, if you hire someone to build your company website, this could be paid as contract work. If, however, you hire that person and require them to clock in and out at your business location, and assist customers at the same time, that person is likely an employee. If the IRS standards were not complex enough, enter the Washington state requirements. The Department of Labor and Industries publishes a 20-page

IN OUR VIEW | Zero-emission vehicle incentives

Let electric car break expire As part of a broader package of proposals to be announced soon to address climate change, Gov. Jay Inslee wants to extend a sales tax break for those who purchase electric cars and open up car-pool lanes to the vehicles when they’re driven solo. The intent is to encourage the sales of the zero-emission vehicles, not only to help clear the air of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, but as increased sales of the vehicles help bring down their purchase price, making the vehicles more affordable to more motorists. Both goals are worthy, but the sales tax break is too costly and likely doesn’t have the impact it first had

in introducing electric cars to everyday motorists. And adding more exemptions to the high-occupancy vehicle lane — as the state considers allowing a toll option for more lanes — is defeating their original purpose as an incentive to those who share the ride or take public transit. If the break is extended past its July 1 expiration, it represents a $13 million loss in tax revenues in fiscal year 2016 and $17 million the following year, according to estimates by the state Department of Revenue. This isn’t the time to be subtracting tax revenue from the state coffers. Washington, as the Associated Press reported Friday, is among the leading states for

electric vehicle ownership, which begs the question as to whether the incentive is necessary. Those who buy electric cars can have a number of reasons for doing so, including driving past gas stations, a sense of accomplishment for not adding to the carbon dioxide load and the boost to one’s environmental cred. The state is already encouraging the use of electric vehicles by installing more charging stations along I-5, I-90 and even U.S. 2 and encouraging builders to include charging stations in their projects. A break in the sales tax certainly adds to the pros, but would its absence keep

anyone from buying an electric? The vehicles, which range in price from $29,000 for the Nissan Leaf to $70,000 and more for the Tesla Model S, are affordable primarily to those who will have little difficulty in paying the full sales tax. The case can be made that electric car owners are already getting a break beyond the sales tax credit. They, of course, pay no gas tax. As the state eventually looks for a way to replace gas tax revenue with something that charges drivers by miles driven rather than the gallons consumed, electric car owners will have to join the rest of us in the upkeep or our roads and bridges.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EDUCATION

Less structure needed for pre-K Regarding the editorial, “Invest in kids’ early education”: I wholeheartedly agree that future investments in education must also include early learning. My concern is that early childhood education will too quickly look like K-12 education, with standards, rubrics and curricula (their effectiveness currently subject to debate) imposed in the name of “kindergarten readiness.” But young children don’t need more formal structure to their education and recent studies suggest that introducing reading and writing skills too early is actually counterproductive. Instead, children need musical instruments, crayons, rocks, autumn leaves, merry-gorounds, living room forts, and meaningful interactions with parents, siblings and friends to learn and explore the world around them. We need to see children as children, not kindergartners-in-waiting. Mark J. Jackson Professor of Children, Youth & Family Studies Trinity Lutheran College Everett

■■UNITED STATES

Corporate greed, a broken system In a series of related newspaper stories, under the something just ain’t right category, comes the news from an Institute for Policy Studies report last week, that the Boeing Co., among others like Ford and Chevron, last year, paid their CEOs more in income than their companies paid in federal income tax. A total of 29 U.S. corporations did likewise. In fact, they had an effective federal tax rate of less than 1 percent. Congress now has before it 55 tax cuts due for extension — 80 percent of those cuts benefit business. Also last week, was the story about the airlines still raising prices despite the fact that fuel prices are way down. Why? Because they can. Thanks to several mergers, four airlines now control the majority of flights and as a result flights are full and airlines don’t have to compete for business. Prices continue to climb and fuel prices continue to drop. And what do we hear every time that companies want to merge? It will benefit consumers, they say. Let’s face it folks, their allegiance is to their bottom line and their shareholders, not the consumer. One more item.

So how do these news items relate? Our elected representatives in Congress who could bring fairness to the tax code, who could refuse to let mega mergers occur, who could bring immigration reform, who could start fixing our infrastructure, who could fix whatever ails our health care, do only what the monied interests tell them to do. The system is broken. As long as the primary concern of our representatives is to get and stay elected, the system will stay broken and if it takes term limits to fix it so be it.

■■TRANSGENDER POLICY

Decision will harm children

Regarding the article, “Mukilteo School Board adopts policy on transgender students”: The newly adopted “anti-discrimination” policy passed by the Mukilteo School Board was an utterly absurd decision that will, to the extent it is enacted, harm the children they are commissioned to serve. Someone please enlighten the members expressing that judgment with a dictionary and a book on logic! “Discriminate” means to make relevant distinctions between different entities in order to make right decisions. Contrary to the article, it is not a dirty word. Everyone exercises discrimination on all sorts of matters throughout our day. Logic is the standard for ensuring our arguments are framed rationally. This committee is guilty of two gross rational errors. They have committed the double-standard fallacy by their decision to refuse discrimination concerning a few people, while imposing discrimination against another group of people (consisting of individuals too). And they have betrayed defenseless girls and boys, as well as adults, who deserve to have their modesty protected and rights to privacy secured. When the board fixated on the “internal sense of gender identity” of transgender students, they failed to affirm the internal sense of gender identity of everyone else. The burden of proof on this matter lies with the board, not the casualties from their decree. Their decision rests both on assumptions about sexual identity that cannot be scientifically proven, and assertions which they cannot establish concerning the character of every professed transgender they simply presume to be sincere. Yet every time we open the newspaper

we are reminded that the track record of human nature as a whole is replete with acts of dishonesty. So their naïve confidence in transgenders commits an additional double-standard infraction! All the while, young bystanders are being treated like guinea pigs for their ill-considered experiment. Truly inmates are running the asylum. Gary Jensen Pastor, Zion Lutheran Church Snohomish

■■SCHOOL LUNCHES

Article’s numbers don’t make sense Regarding the article, “Home-packed school lunches get failing grade”: If Texas children ate the school lunches portrayed in this article, there would be a bunch of overweight kids. The first item, 2.5 cups of fruit per school lunch. What! FDA daily guidelines says about 1.5 cups per day (that’s three meals not one). The next items on that Texan lunch were 3.75 cups of vegetables, 5 oz. of grains (a bagel is about 3 ounces), and 10 ounces of meat or protein substitute. Again the daily (three meals) from the FDA are respectively 2 cups, 5 ounces and 5 ounces. This article from the L.A. Times has enough bologna in it to feed all 375 students in the article for a day. These kids are also only given 15 to 20 minutes to eat all of this. I know that The Herald is “covered” by using the L.A. Times byline, but can’t you show some responsibility to rough check the studies or facts you print? What about the rest of the news you report? Is it as free of any reality as this article? I hope not otherwise I will not keep renewing. Charles Best Duvall

Democrats doing their best to thwart party

ith Democrats acting like this, who needs Republicans? Chuck Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democratic leader who would very much like to be No. 1, caused a furor last week when he gave a speech at the National Press Club bashing fellow Democrats and the White House. He said that DANA MILBANK Democrats focused on the “wrong problem” when they passed Obamacare and that the way they handled stimulus legislation was a “mistake.” As if by way of reply, the White House announced the same day that it would veto a $440 billion tax bill the Senate Democratic leadership had negotiated with Republicans. Meanwhile, former White House officials who serve as surrogate defenders of President Obama went after Schumer on Twitter. Former Obama aide Tommy Vietor: “Shorter Chuck Schumer — I wish Obama cared more about helping Democrats than sick people.” Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau: “Funny, I don’t remember Chuck Schumer giving that advice when he was privately and publicly championing the Affordable Care Act in 2010.” (Actually, Schumer made a similar critique in 2010.) Recriminations are natural after a defeat of the size Democrats suffered in the midterm elections, but this family feud is a bit excessive — and counterproductive at a time when Republicans are preparing to dismantle Obama’s presidency and Democrats’ legislative priorities. It began after the elections, when David Krone, chief of staff to Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, went on the record with The Washington Post essentially blaming the loss of the Senate on Obama’s fundraising decisions and unpopularity. Six Senate Democrats made a symbolic stand against Reid, voting against him returning as their leader. And House Democrats rebuked their leader, Nancy Pelosi, by voting down her candidate to lead Democrats on the commerce committee. Piling on, Bill Clinton and Virgnian Gov. Terry McAuliffe joined in the criticism of the party’s election strategy. The Democrats’ circular firing squad is all the more puzzling because this is a time when Republicans, with unified control of Congress, should be the party struggling with internal strife, between hard-liners seeking disruption and those taking seriously their obligation to govern. There were signs of that fissure recently after the House Intelligence Committee, controlled by Republicans, released a declassified report that debunked all the conspiracy theories conservatives had been cooking up about the 2012 attacks on U.S. personnel in Benghazi, Libya. The panel found that “appropriate U.S. personnel made reasonable tactical decisions that night, and the committee found no evidence that there was either a standdown order or a denial of available air support.” The GOP-led panel further found that “there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks” and that while the Obama administration’s initial public account of the attacks wasn’t “fully accurate,” there had been “a stream of contradictory and conflicting intelligence.” These conclusions, following similar findings by numerous other investigators, would seem to close the case on Benghazi. But Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called the committee’s work “crap” and “garbage.” House Speaker John Boehner effectively dismissed the findings of his own House Intelligence Committee by announcing that he was reappointing his Benghazi select committee because “the American people still have far too many questions about what happened.” There will be many more such tensions within the new GOP majority — and Democrats should be exploiting those, not rehashing old fights about what happened in 2009 and 2010. As a matter of political analysis, Schumer is correct. Had Democrats done more to boost the economy early on and gone after health care reform in smaller pieces they may well have wound up with more durable achievements on both and kept their majority intact to enact other priorities. The better question is why Schumer chose to reopen those wounds now. The new Republican majority will do everything it can to thwart Obama and the Democrats. Democrats hardly need to be thwarting themselves. Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Burke got involved with All Aboard after she met the founder, Gene Rogoway, at a Special Olympics event several years ago. Rogoway started the nonprofit in 2002 to provide his son, Mike, who has Down syndrome, something to do after he finished his schooling. Rogoway convinced Burke to let her son, Andy, volunteer at All Aboard. Andy, now 26, has Asperger’s, an autism-spectrum disorder characterized by challenges with communication, social interaction and restrictive

or repetitive behavior. Andy started by reading stories to others at All Aboard. Now he helps people who use wheelchairs with activities such as bowling and card playing. He also takes on many other tasks around the nonprofit. “He comes home and he’s so happy,” Burke said. “Doing his job is the most important thing in his life.” After Rogoway’s death in 2011, volunteers decided to form a board of directors to keep All Aboard going. Burke, a retired customer service representative, serves on the six-member board. She gives her time to the organization because it so profoundly changed her son’s life. Like many with developmental disabilities, Andy had trouble finding steady work after high school. He was left without a lot to do. He spent much of his time in his bedroom,

watching TV and playing video games by himself. “It was very sad,” Burke said. “The problem is, when they don’t have a place to go, they lose touch with all their friends.” It wasn’t until Andy got involved at All Aboard that he started to regain social connections. The nonprofit offers a variety of classes, such as cooking, exercise, bowling and karaoke. Most classes cost $10 and last two hours. There are long breaks to encourage socializing. The organization also has events, such as dances and a prom. “The goal is for them to be able to get together with friends and have fun,” Burke said. “When you walk in, you’re greeted by many people. You get lots of hugs. It’s a cheerful, happy place where there’s a whole lot going on.” For more information, go to allaboardwa.org, call 425-327-5533 or email info@allaboardwa.org.

LYNNWOOD — A Lynnwood woman is expected to face criminal charges after threatening to hurt her baby and her boyfriend Sunday evening. The woman, believed to be in her 20s, reportedly jumped from a secondstory balcony during a confrontation with officers. The baby and the woman’s boyfriend were unhurt, Lynnwood police Cmdr. Jim Nelson said. The incident started about 5 p.m. at the Lynnwood Garden Village apartments, 4816 176th St. SW. The woman allegedly told others she planned to stab her baby and her boyfriend, who is in his 40s. Investigators believe the dispute between the man

and woman involved relationship issues. The man was able to escape from the apartment with the baby when the woman saw the officers outside and went out on the balcony, Nelson said. Police “were attempting to talk to her when she jumped from the balcony,” Nelson said. “An officer on the ground attempted to break her fall and was successful in keeping her from striking the ground full force.” The woman was taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries. A criminal investigation continues. No other injuries were reported.

A debris slide Saturday night caused a 48-hour closure of passenger train travel on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks between Everett and Seattle. Downed trees blocked tracks south of Everett at about 7 p.m. Saturday, BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas said. The 48-hour stop on passenger trains is set to expire Monday night. It was the second slide in the area this season, Melonas said. Meanwhile, poor-air quality led to a burn ban for Snohomish County starting Sunday. Flood advisories for the county were canceled, however, cold temperatures remained a concern. Cold weather shelters throughout the county were expected to stay open through the weekend. Monday and Tuesday are supposed to be cold and clear, with rain setting back in Wednesday. From Herald staff reports

SCHOOL WINNERS Everett named School Board of the Year The Everett School Board on Nov. 20 was named a state 2014 Board of the Year, along with Union Gap and University Place. Everett was chosen in the category of 9,000 or more students. Everett School Board members are President Pam LeSesne, Carol Andrews, Caroline Mason, Traci Mitchell and Ted Wenta. “Each of our boards of the year has shown how a commitment to quality education for all kids can translate into real progress,” said Mari Taylor, outgoing WSSDA president and a Lake Stevens School Board member. “These boards model true leadership in their passion and their actions.” The three school boards were

chosen from an initial field of 23 school boards nominated from across the state. Of those, 17 were named Boards of Distinction, a list that also included the Lake Stevens School Board. Boards of the Year are selected by a panel, which looks at scores on a variety of measures. In accepting the Everett School Board’s earlier Board of Distinction award, LeSesne credited those who came before the current board. “A single test score, like a single award, speaks to learning and work completed over time,” she said.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

Preschoolers don’t need academics push By John Rosemond Tribune News Service

ourtesy of my friend and parent coach Janet Carter (www.ourchildishways. com), comes an interesting story: The parents of a 4-year-old girl went to a preschool parent conference to learn from her teacher that she is having difficulty with scissors and somewhat behind the other kids in letter and number recognition. The parents apparently blew the teacher’s mind when they replied that they were more concerned with their daughter’s heart and character than her academic achievement. Was she compassionate? Was she respectful of her teachers and peers? This story is illustrative of several disturbing trends, the first of which is the newly academic nature of most preschools. Study after study (see David Elkind’s masterpiece, “The Hurried Child”) has shown that academic learning produced during the preschool years is no longer noticeable by the third grade. It’s artificially induced, and therefore a complete waste of children’s time and

energy. There are several studies that link early academic instruction with learning disabilities. Educators must be aware of this research, yet they keep right on pushing ABCs, number facts, and whole-language based reading (which has also been linked to learning disabilities) at preschool kids. Why? The answer is two-fold: First, today’s parents — mothers, especially — are highly anxious (and yes, I’m speaking generally) about their children’s academic performance. There seems to be an unwritten understanding in American mother culture to the effect that the mother with the highestachieving child is, somehow, the best mother. Therefore, today’s parents (by and large) tend to insist that if they’re going to spend the money to enroll their kids in preschools, then preschools need to demonstrate their value by teaching academics and computer skills and other stuff that is worthless in the long run, if not harmful. Second, and because of the first part of this answer, preschools are forced to incorporate academics into their program — many are completely academic, in fact — in

order to stay competitive. They have to virtually promise that they will feed parents’ need to boast about their high-performing children. So, the precious preschool years, when children should be allowed to play and experiment and learn to play simple musical instruments, are sacrificed to the Altar of the Trophy Child. I went to first grade in 1952. I’d never been to kindergarten. Along with most of my classmates, I came to first grade not knowing my ABCs. My first-grade class picture shows 50 children, one teacher. At the end of first grade, children in the 1950s were reading at higher levels than today’s kids. We outperformed today’s kids at every grade and most of us were in classrooms that would be considered unacceptably overcrowded (not to mention underfunded) by today’s standards. Many, many kudos to the parents in the above story. The teacher, by the way and to her credit, after recovering from her shock, told them that she wished all parents had their attitude. We should all share in her wish and do all we can to make it come true.

Helping older parents is a fantastic gift idea Dear Abby: For those who are looking for gift suggestions for older parents, may I offer what my kids do for us? They live far away and usually visit us in the spring and fall. Before they leave, my daughter scrubs my bathroom shower and the rest of the room, cleans my refrigerator, oven, kitchen cabinets, my carpets — things that are difficult for me to do. While she’s inside doing that, my son-in-law is outside trimming trees and bushes, doing general yard cleanup in the spring and raking leaves and disposing of them in the fall. In addition, during the months BEFORE their visit, my daughter is setting aside and freezing small portions of entrees so we will have future dinners from her meals. She also freezes an assortment of different soups in zip-lock bags, laid flat so they will fit well in my freezer. While they’re here, they cook all the meals and do the cleanup. What a wonderful gift! Even if some families don’t cook, they could make up small meals with deli purchases and freeze them for their parents. Nothing could be appreciated more. Instead of buying a useless gift because “We didn’t know what to get you — you said you didn’t want anything,” these are gifts that keep on giving! — Truly Blessed In Montana Dear Truly Blessed: I agree. And you are fortunate to have such caring family members. Please allow me to offer some additional gift suggestions for seniors: Many individuals on fixed incomes would appreciate a gift basket of goodies such as small cans RIP HAYWIRE

of tuna, salmon or soup. Include with them crackers, assorted flavors of instant coffee, herbal teas, soup mixes and cookies. Gift certificates also make welcome gifts: for groceries, haircuts, manicures, dry cleaning, restaurant meals, theater tickets and department stores. And don’t forget prepaid calling cards. Create homemade coupons that can be redeemed for chores such as window washing, painting, replacing air conditioning filters and light bulbs, moving heavy furniture for spring and fall cleaning, and transportation for shopping, doctor’s visits, etc. Because not all seniors drive, bus passes and coupons for senior transportation or taxis can also give the recipient the gift of freedom. Sweat pants, athletic socks and walking shoes may motivate the sedentary to become more active — which improves circulation and cognition for people of every age. Stationery, stamps and some felt-tipped pens make handy gifts that can be used throughout the year. And so do large-print address books with the information already transferred from the recipients’ records. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

KENOSHA, Wis. — Police say a former cast member of MTV’s “The Real World: New Orleans” has died in Wisconsin. Ryan Knight, 28, was found unconscious and not breathing at a friend’s residence in Kenosha around 10 a.m. Thursday. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Knight is from Kenosha. He was a cast

member of “The Real World: New Orleans” in 2010. Kenosha police say Knight had been out with friends the night before his death, and there were no obvious signs of injuries. An autopsy on Friday didn’t find any “anatomical cause of death.” Associated Press

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Pay closer attention to your home, family and domestic plans. It’s important to stabilize your situation and pin down any loose ends that may create a problem for you. You can have an outstanding year as long as you take advantage of opportunities and are willing to make the changes required to get the highest returns. Your numbers are 9, 13, 22, 28, 32, 37, 45. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Recognize what you need to focus on and make a point of organizing your time to reach your professional year-end deadlines. Self-improvement will lead to compliments and welcome reunions with someone you miss. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t expect things to be easy. Do the work required to reach your goals, and refuse to let anyone interfere. You don’t have to spend a lot to make a good impression. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let the changes you are facing stifle your performance. You’ve got a better foothold than you realize, so you should leap into action to make your dreams come true. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Emotional discord can be expected if you don’t face a challenge optimistically. Reach out and collaborate and you will find a worthwhile solution. Treat yourself to something that makes you feel good. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Bargain-hunting will pay off. Your outgoing approach will draw positive attention. A change is heading your way, and socializing or getting together with someone you love will lead to an interesting development. ��

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may want to make domestic changes, but make sure you have the approval of everyone who will be affected by the choices you make. Do your best to stick to a budget and accommodate the ones you love. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Communicate with a friend, neighbor or relative who can give you a different view of your current situation. Problems at home will escalate if you don’t make your voice heard. �� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Visiting a friend or getting involved in your community will brighten your day. Your unique approach to the way you live will set an example for someone looking for advice. �� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Spice up your life and look for adventure. Whether you learn something new or travel to a destination you’ve never been before, an open mind will lead to new friendships and shared information. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll face opposition if you make sudden changes. Learn from experience and share your intentions before you get underway. A deal you are being offered will have hidden costs. �� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your income will get a boost if you look into alternative ways to market what you have to offer. A partnership will turn out to be beneficial. Don’t limit what you can do because you fear failure. �� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can learn from observing how others react to what you do. Concentrate on being disciplined when pursuing your goals or taking care of your responsibilities and you will avoid complaints. �� Universal Uclick

Sounders win 2-1, but tiebreaking road goal sends Galaxy to MLS Cup

For sixth time Sounders fall short, and this playoff exit is the most painful

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Los Angeles Galaxy is heading to the MLS Cup and the Seattle Sounders are heading home. The difference came down to an L.A. second-half shot that hit the goalpost and bounced in rather than out. That goal was the only one Los Angeles got Sunday in a 2-1 loss at CenturyLink Field. But it was all they needed, as it evened the two-game series at 2-2 on aggregate score, and it put the Galaxy through on the only road goal of the series. “An inch further and I probably have it,” Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei said. “An inch further out and it probably bangs off the post and stays out. We played a good game other than that ... but it wasn’t enough.” Because it wasn’t, the Galaxy continues on to the MLS Cup where they will face the New England Revolution on Sunday in Carson, California. The Sounders, meanwhile, will put away their rave green kits for another year and close out a season that saw them win their fourth U.S. Open Cup and their See SOUNDERS, Page C2

EATTLE — Sounders coach Sigi Schmid sat at a table, eyes red, voice quiet after his team was eliminated in the Western Conference finals by the narrowest of margins. And when Schmid was asked if he had a message for his fans, for the 46,758 in attendance Sunday night and countless more who have come to CenturyLink Field over the past six seasons, the 61-year-old coach, a man who exudes the no-nonsense German attitude you might expect from a man named Siegfried Schmid, even he got a JOHN BOYLE little emotional. “I just say thank you and we’re sorry, because we want to win it for them,” Schmid said, his voice wavering. “We really do.” Seattle’s reached the playoffs for the sixth time in as many seasons since joining Major League Soccer, and for the sixth time the Sounders fell short of reaching the MLS Cup final, and in a lot of ways this early exit See BOYLE, Page C2

Silvertips blow 3-0 lead, fall 4-3 to Kootenay in OT By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

INSIDE: Apple Cup, C2

EVERETT — The manner in which the game winner was scored pretty much summed up the third period and overtime for the Everett Silvertips. It was a complete and utter train wreck. A comedy of errors saw Everett throw one away Sunday afternoon as the Tips crashed and burned to a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kootenay Ice at Xfinity Arena. Everett was in complete control. The Tips scored three times in the second period to take a 3-0 lead against a tired Kootenay team playing its third game in three nights. However, two

UW basketball, C3

mistakes let the Ice back into it early in the third. Then the Tips spent the rest of the game playing timid, allowing Kootenay to seize the initiative and eventually find the tying goal. Then in overtime, Kootenay’s Tyler King was left all alone in front. Everett goaltender Carter Hart made a good toe save to deny King. However, in attempting to cover the puck and freeze play, Hart inadvertently knocked the puck into his own net, handing the Ice an unlikely victory. It was a disheartening loss for the Tips, and Everett coach Kevin Constantine invoked perhaps the most jarring defeat in franchise history in describing Sunday’s loss. In 2007 Everett entered the

Gonzaga, C3

playoffs with the best record in the WHL, but in the second round the Tips found themselves tied 2-2 in a series against Prince George. In Game 5 in Everett the Tips raced to a 3-0 lead through two periods. However, the Cougars scored four times in the third to win 4-3, then blew out Everett 8-2 in Game 6 to finish the Tips off. Everett hasn’t won a playoff series since. Sunday’s loss gave off a similar odor, and it continued a worrying trend for the Tips, who have made an unhealthy habit of playing passively with leads in the third period and allowing opponents back into games.

PULLMAN — For the fifth time in the last six seasons, the Washington Huskies left the Apple Cup game against Washington State holding the trophy. Now, after capping the regular-season with a 31-13 victory over the Cougars, the Huskies will wait to find out which bowl game they’ll play in. The most likely destination seems to be the Cactus Bowl, which is played Jan. 2 in Tempe, Arizona, and has the seventh and final selection of the bowls affiliated with the Pac-12 conference. But the Huskies need a little help from the College Football Playoff committee to make that happen. There are eight bowl-eligible Pac-12 teams this season, so the Huskies aren’t guaranteed a spot in a bowl with a Pac-12 tie-in. Their destination will likely hinge on the result of the Pac-12 championship game between Oregon and Arizona. Arizona is currently ranked 11th in the College Football Playoff rankings — Oregon is ranked 2nd — and the Wildcats are likely to rise a couple spots when the new standings are released on Tuesday. If Oregon and Arizona each finish in the top 12 of those standings after playing each other on Friday, they will each be guaranteed a spot in a “Big Six” bowl game — the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl serve as the CFP semifinal games for the top four teams, and the Peach, Fiesta, Orange and Cotton bowls round out the Big Six — which would move every Pac-12 team up one spot in the bowl pecking order. In that scenario, the Huskies would seemingly be locked into the Cactus against an opponent from the Big 12 conference. The Huskies are the only bowl-eligible Pac-12

Boyle From Page C1 was the most painful. Because Seattle played so well all season, capturing the Supporters’ Shield, the trophy given to the team with the best regular season record, while also winning a fourth U.S. Open Cup in six years, and because they were so close to moving past the Los Angeles Galaxy and hosting the MLS Cup final, this was as tough of a pill to swallow as any for a franchise that just can’t get over the hump. Had Seattle held onto the 2-0 lead in built in the first half, it would be hosting New England Sunday in front of a packed house with a championship on the line. But instead because a Juninho shot in the 54th minute bounced off the post and in, the Galaxy, which beat Seattle 1-0 last weekend, advanced 2-2 on aggregate thanks to the away-goal tiebreaker, which was added to MLS’ playoff format this season. “Huge disappointment,” said goalkeeper Stefan Frei. “It’s brutal, because we had an unbelievable season, and yet we’re standing here disappointed at having missed out on a chance to have a perfect season, if you will. We’re one and a half games away at halftime to make it a perfect season, and it kind of slipped away for us there, and it’s frustrating. I think after a couple of weeks we’ll probably look back and say we had a really good season, we should

team with a 4-5 conference record; everyone else is 5-4 or better. And according to Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News, the Pac-12 instituted a rule this season that requires the Sun, Las Vegas and Cactus bowls to stick to the standings when making their selections — meaning the Sun Bowl, which has the fifth selection, can’t choose a 4-5 UW team ahead of Stanford or Utah, which both finished 5-4. If the Pac-12 sends only one team to a Big Six bowl game, the Huskies will likely play in a game without an affiliation with the league. A Seattle Times report indicated that the Armed Forces Bowl, which is played Jan. 2 in Fort Worth, Texas, would be UW’s most likely destination if the Cactus doesn’t work out. The Armed Forces Bowl has a tie-in with the American Athletic Conference and the Big 12,

be proud of ourselves, but right now it hurts.” And Frei is right; eventually the Sounders will remember this season for the many things they accomplished, most notably winning the Supporters’ Shield, which while not as celebrated as an MLS Cup, is in a lot of ways a better reflection of who played the best that season. It’s why nearly every other league around the world crowns a champion based on the regular season and has no playoffs. But in America, playoffs are what counts. And as a result the Sounders are again heading into an offseason disappointed despite posting a franchise best 20-10-4 record in what was in every way their best overall season. “The Supporters’ Shield is great because it’s a reflection of the whole season; it shows we were the best team over the whole season, but unfortunately our league decides that the MLS Cup winner is the top team, and that’s a mountain we haven’t climbed yet,” Schmid said. “I thought for sure this could be our year to climb that mountain, and I thought we were very close to it.” Yet even as this was in a lot of ways Seattle’s most painful playoff exit yet, it also came with more optimism going forward than perhaps any other. The Sounders were eliminated by the Galaxy for the third time in six playoff appearances. “The reality is that they’ve got our number now, and now we’ve got to do our best

but the Big 12 has seven bowl spots and currently has just six bowl-eligible teams. Army is also affiliated with that bowl, but finished 4-7 and is not eligible for the postseason. UW expects to know its bowl destination on Sunday, Dec. 7, the day the final CFP rankings are announced. Huskies head coach Chris Petersen, understandably, doesn’t seem to care which game his team plays in. UW coaches will be on the road recruiting during the next two weeks, Petersen said, while the players will take some time off. “I’m just glad that we get a chance to play again with these guys and give them a little time off and get a chance to get after school a little bit and finish that,” Petersen said. “Get ‘em healed up, and get ‘em prepared for a real good bowl team that we’ll play.” He said after Saturday’s Apple Cup that he thought the Huskies, who raced to a 31-0 lead before pulling their starters, were as ready to play as they have been before any game this season. UW ended the season with perhaps its three most complete performances — a 26-24 loss at Arizona that slipped away in the final minute, a 37-13 win over Oregon State, and Saturday’s dominance against the Cougars. “I think the last few weeks, these guys have really been figuring out on how to practice, but too, how to get themselves ready for the game,” said Petersen, who won his 100th game as a head coach on Saturday. “I think that may be as big as anything we’ve felt as a change, from Friday to Saturday, and what the locker room should feel like and look like before we go out there. And today was as good as we’ve had it before the game started. I thought going out there, this is going to be interesting because this is one time that I really feel like these guys are truly ready to play.”

to change that and buck that trend,” midfielder and captain Brad Evans said. But the Sounders also go into this offseason in a very good place, which is a big change from last year. When the Sounders were eliminated in the conference semifinals a year ago, they were a mess. Whether Schmid would be back was a huge topic of debate, and it was clear whether or not he returned, significant roster overhaul was coming. After overhauling the roster and building around a nucleus of Evans, Clint Dempey, Osvaldo Alonso and Obafemi Martins, the Sounders were a much improved team, both in the results and the way they battled. It was fitting that Seattle built the first-half lead that nearly sent them to the finals not because of brilliant skill, but because of a pair of hustle plays by Dempsey, the league’s highest-paid player. First Dempsey chased down a ball in the box after Martins went down hoping for a foul, then whipped a cross in front of the goal that Evans hammered in from point-blank range. Six minutes later, Dempsey kept the ball alive while on the ground, and after DeAndre Yedlin’s cross ricocheted off the Galaxy’s Omar Gonzalez, Dempsey scored what for a while appeared to be the game-winner. But after Juninho’s goal put the Galaxy in position to advance, the Sounders, a team that prided itself on resilience all season, couldn’t quite muster

one last comeback. But even if the loss hurt more in the moment, the Sounders also could see how far they had come from a year ago when they nearly collapsed and missed the playoffs, then were blown out by the rival Portland Timbers once they got there. “Last year was disappointment for sure,” Evans said. “The way that we exited, the way that we ended the year. It’s a different feeling than last year. I definitely feel like I’d love to have everybody here next year. The reality is that’s not going to happen, that’s part of the game, but yeah, definitely a different feeling going into the offseason, but we’ve still got to be at that point we all want to be at, and that’s hosting an MLS Cup.” That hosting, and perhaps hoisting of an MLS Cup will have to wait is the painful ending to an otherwise wildly successful season for the Sounders. It was enough to make a coach who has won MLS Cups with two other teams, been named coach of the year, won multiple Supporters’ Shields and so many other trophies and awards, choke up at the though of this team falling short. “There’s nothing I want to do more than bring an MLS Cup to the city of Seattle, because the fans deserve it and their support as been phenomenal,” Schmid said. “... I want to win a championship here, I want to win an MLS Cup.” Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com

Cougars fire 2 coaches Associated Press PULLMAN — Washington State fired defensive coordinator Mike Breske and outside linebackers coach Paul Volero after the Cougars finished 3-9 with a loss to Washington in the Apple Cup. The school confirmed both coaches had been let go by coach Mike Leach on Sunday night. Fox Sports first reported the firings. The Cougars finished 10th in the Pac-12 in scoring defense and were particularly vulnerable in the secondary. Washington State was 11th in pass defense and often couldn't get the stops to help the offense. The Cougars had only one interception after Sept. 13.

Sounders From Page C1 first Supporters’ Shield, but left them just short of their goal of a first MLS Cup. “The Supporters’ Shield ... shows that we were the best team over the whole season,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “But unfortunately our league decides that the MLS Cup winner is the top team, and that’s a mountain that we haven’t climbed yet. I thought for sure that this could be our year.”

Seattle jumped ahead in the 26th minute, when Obafemi Martins and Clint Dempsey worked a give and go which ended with the ball at Dempsey’s foot inside the area. Dempsey sent the ball across the goal mouth where it was deflected by Galaxy defender Dan Gargan. However, the ball continued across to Brad Evans who knocked it in. The lead grew in the 32nd minute, when Dempsey hit a low shot that goalkeeper Jaime Penedo got a piece of but couldn’t keep out. “The last 20 minutes

of the first half it was all ours,” Schmid said. “We got the two goals. We were close to getting a third. ... I think these two teams are equal. I think the aggregate score reflects that.” However, because L.A. had won the first-leg 1-0, even the Sounders’ 2-0 lead did not put them far enough ahead to survive a Galaxy road goal. That came in the 54th minute, when Landon Donovan hit a corner kick to the top of the penalty area. Omar Gonzalez got a slight touch on it as it continued on to Juninho who hit it low and in from

about 20 yards. The bounce in was just a matter of inches, and the Sounders now have an off-season to think about every one of them. “You start turning the page now and looking at it,” Schmid said. “But the pain that we feel right now hopefully will motivate us for next year, but we also know that we have to improve our team. In certain situations we have guys that are getting older as well, so we’ve got to look at making some changes there. But certainly I think there’s a good

nucleus here.” The Sounders have made the playoffs all six seasons they have been in MLS. However, this marked the third time they have been eliminated by the Galaxy. “They’re a good team, a well-coached team, (mostly) veteran players ... almost identical to our team in that respect,” captain Brad Evans said. “But the reality is they’ve got our number now, and now we’ve got to do our best to change that and buck that trend, and now we go into the off-season saying what can we do to beat these guys.” The crowd of 46,758 was the largest for a Sounders postseason game. “There’s nothing I want to do more than to bring an MLS Cup to the city of Seattle because the fans deserve it, and their support has been phenomenal,” Schmid said “...

NEW YORK — Silas Melson concluded warm-up drills prior to Friday’s victory over St. John’s and headed toward Gonzaga’s bench. He was greeted near midcourt with a hug from fellow freshman guard Josh Perkins, whose broken jaw in Wednesday’s win over Georgia prompted Gonzaga coaches to pull Melson’s redshirt. Perkins has kept his spirits up despite a couple of tough days. He managed a postgame smile — or as much of a grin as his wired jaw would allow — following the Zags’ 73-66 victory in the NIT Season TipOff championship at Madison Square Garden.

“I told Silas opportunity knocked on the door and he needs to be ready to contribute,” said Perkins, sporting a swollen left jaw line. “We’re going to need him.” Melson responded by knocking down a 3-pointer on his first shot attempt at famed MSG roughly two minutes after checking into the game. “It was very tough to see Josh go down,” Melson said. “We’re very close; all of the freshmen are close.” Melson had a pretty good idea what was going to happen as soon as he released his first attempt. “When I shot it, I literally said it’s going to be my first college bucket,” said Melson, who finished with five points in 11 minutes. “It was my shot, I felt it.”

Peterson allowed a career performance to Atlanta’s star receiver, who had 10 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons coasted to a 29-18 victory over the punchless Cardinals. “He won the matchup today,” Peterson said. “I mean, Cy Young winners give up home runs.” The Cardinals (9-3) lost their second in a row, a once-comfortable lead in the NFC West suddenly shrinking to a single game over defending Super Bowl

Colts 49, Redskins 27 Washington Indianapolis

champion Seattle. More troubling for Arizona than Jones’ big day was an offense that nearly went its second straight game without scoring a touchdown. Rashad Johnson’s 88-yard interception return was the only TD until Drew Stanton’s meaningless 3-yard scoring pass to Stepfan Taylor with 1:05 remaining. That broke a streak of 170 minutes, 1 second without an offensive touchdown — more than 11 quarters. Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending injury, threw for 294 yards but was picked off twice. It sure didn’t help that star receiver Larry Fitzgerald missed his second straight game with a strained left knee and running back Andre Ellington went out in the first half with a hip injury.

Tips From page C1

“It’s happened repeatedly — against Spokane (on Nov. 8) we had a 4-2 lead and lost that game 6-4, it happened tonight, we gave up a lead against Kamloops (on Wednesday),” Constantine lamented. “Our team has an amazing ability to shut down. If you look at how we might finish a first period and then how we’ll play in the second period, we can be two totally different teams real quick. I’ve said to our guys all year that they need to gain the mental toughness where you play your style of game.” It seemed the return of leading scorer Nikita Scherbak to the lineup had sparked the Tips back on track following Friday’s 3-2 home loss to Seattle. Scherbak, who returned after missing two games as a result of the thigh bruise that required him to be taken off the ice on a stretcher eight days earlier, had a goal and an assist as Everett took control in the second period. But things quickly unraveled for the Tips in the third. First, 1 minute, 35 seconds into the period, Everett defenseman Cole MacDonald made the illadvised decision to try to skate the puck out from behind his own net with Kootenay’s Jaedon Descheneau draped all over him. Descheneau picked MacDonald’s pocket, then quickly dropped a pass for Tim Bozon to put away at the far post to get the Ice on the board. Then at 5:32 MacDonald put the puck into the stands from the defensive zone for a delay-of-game penalty, and the Ice converted just eight seconds later, Rinat Valiev putting a slap shot through traffic and past Hart to make it a brand new game. Everett responded by

going into a shell, and the Ice gratefully accepted the opening. Kootenay inevitably tied the score at 13:52 as Tanner Faith’s slap shot from the point deflected off traffic and past Hart to tie it at 3-3. “We’re amazing at the swings between the two (levels of play),” Constantine said. “We have to learn from that. We have to process that. We have to stay on edge, or stay focused, or stay determined, or whatever words you want to attach. That’s a mental skill that our guys at this point don’t have. They don’t have the mental skill to compete 60 minutes. That’s an individual skill and it’s a collective skill among the players.” Finally in OT, Bozon managed to shield two Tips away from the puck along the boards, then send the feed out front to King that resulted in the game winner. Kootenay outshot Everett 16-3 in the third period and overtime.

Slap shots Scherbak wasn’t the only player back in the lineup for Everett on Sunday. Center Remi Laurencelle, who missed nine games because of a sprained ankle, also made his return. … The Tips gave another game to 15-year-old call-up winger Bryce Kindopp. Kindopp, a native of Lloydminster, Alberta, who was a third-round pick in this year’s bantam draft, was brought in this weekend to help cover for injuries. He made his WHL debut in Friday’s 3-2 home loss to Seattle, and he maintained his spot in the lineup Sunday despite the returns of Scherbak and Laurencelle.
