A question of impartiality As the county’s first ombudsman, John Koster’s role is to adopt a neutral tone. But recent comments belie this. By Noah Haglund

Herald Writer

EVERETT — When he was appointed Snohomish County’s first ombudsman, John Koster

he’s made known during three successful runs for the County Council and three unsuccessful runs for Congress. The very person who appointed Koster a year ago now questions whether he’s fit to continue in the job, following anti-union statements by the ombudsman. Koster’s verbal attack on

organized labor came in an Oct. 11 fundraising letter for the Freedom Foundation, a right-leaning Olympia think tank. His remarks have surfaced as the County Council prepares to consider reappointing Koster for another two years. See OMBUDSMAN, Page A2

EVERETT — The sky was overcast, another gray Northwest December day. The classroom at Everett Community College’s Jackson Conference Center was brightly lit and full of applause, smiling faces and teens ready to conquer the world. They were clapping for their accomplishments and their ambitions. The 25 students had just finished an eight-week course in the soft skills needed for success in the American workplace. They had spent most of the past eight Saturdays learning about financial literacy, how to make an elevator pitch, public speaking and other skills often left out of standard school curriculums.

Jail wait lists not that bad, state says By Martha Bellisle Associated Press

SEATTLE — Washington state, under scrutiny for holding mentally ill people in jails instead of providing timely competency evaluations and treatment, is fighting efforts to have a federal judge rule quickly in favor of the defendants. The state already faces tens of thousands of dollars in fines levied by state judges for failing to follow treatment orders. Assistant Attorney General John McIlhenny told the judge that in some cases, the long wait times for some defendants are “excessive and indefensible.” But that’s not true for everyone, he said. Since some of the waits are shot, the court should limit its order “rather than seeking to establish bright-line rules to govern every case or possible wait time,” McIlhenny told U.S. District Chief Judge Marsha Pechman in his filing last week. Lawyers for Disability Rights Washington and the American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit in August claiming some mentally ill defendants are forced to stay in jails for weeks or months while they wait to be moved to one of the state’s two psychiatric hospitals for a competency evaluation. Defense attorneys in Snohomish County routinely have been asking for sanctions against the state hospital for failing to quickly admit mentally ill people who aren’t competent. Judges here have declined to hold the state in contempt and level any fines. In some cases, they agreed that some inmates’ rights were being violated because of the long delays. Judges here have opted to release the inmates to the streets to wait for open beds at Western State Hospital. The lawsuit originated with Snohomish County public defenders representing a mentally ill woman accused of slapping an Everett police officer. She had been waiting weeks for a bed a the state hospital. As is the case with most mentally ill inmates at the county jail, the woman was housed in solitary confinement. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary repeatedly has said that the jail isn’t set up to provide adequate treatment for severely mentally ill offenders. That population takes considerable resources. Prosecutors eventually dismissed the assault charge against the woman. If found incompetent, they wait again to have their competency See WAIT, Page A2 Scattered 54/45, C8

Ombudsman: Koster says it’s his right to speak his mind From Page A1

“For too long, labor leaders have ripped off our hard-working teachers and state employees, forcing them to pay dues whether they want to be part of the union or not, then funneling that money to politicians at election time,” part of the letter reads. Elsewhere, it refers to Freedom Foundation CEO Tom McCabe as a “brotherin-arms of mine in the fight against union control of Washington for more then 20 years.” It asks “committed patriots across Washington to support them in taking on the union machine.” Koster said McCabe wrote most of the letter, and he agreed to sign on. He said he worked on it at home, on his own time. “I didn’t see this as any big deal,” he said. “This wasn’t from the

ombudsman, this was from John Koster — from me personally.” Nowhere does the letter mention the ombudsman’s post or political parties. It’s not printed on county stationary, though a header proclaims that the message comes “from the desk of John Koster.” Koster said he’s been careful to refrain from endorsing candidates during the recent election season, despite pressure to do so. He said it’s unfair to expect him to give up his right to speak his mind. Many union members don’t see it that way. About 80 percent of the county’s nearly 2,800-strong workforce is represented by organized labor. Some of them were upset to receive Koster’s fundraising letter this fall and brought copies to the county executive’s office. “He clearly stepped out

of bounds and he should not continue in this position,” said Chris Dugovich, president of the AFSCME affiliate that represents most county employees. Dugovich said he assumed that county leaders would come to the same conclusion. That remains to be seen. Koster’s reappointment is expected to come up at the County Council’s 10:30 a.m. meeting Dec. 15. Council Chairman Dave Somers said there’s no policy violation on Koster’s part, though there might be questions of judgment. “As long as he’s county ombudsman, I think he should refrain from taking strong political positions that could affect his job performance,” Somers said. Councilman Brian Sullivan said he was torn between his respect for Koster and the union-represented county workforce.

“Since it is becoming a public debate, it needs to be vetted publicly,” Sullivan said. “I would rather it not have happened.” While the decision is the council’s to make, Executive John Lovick is asking them to take “the necessary steps to insure that (Koster) is not reappointed when his term expires Dec. 31, 2014.” “How could any of our represented employees, or the thousands of our hard-working union members from our county, expect to treated in a fair and impartial manner by an ombudsman who has published a letter that is so critical of their union leadership,” Lovick wrote Friday to the County Council. Koster said he’s always supported county workers, while on the council and in his current role. “You won’t find one employee there who will tell you I’ve treated them

Wait: Lack of funding doesn’t help From Page A1

restored. State law says the process should happen within seven days but a lack of bed space and staff has resulted in long waitlists. The lawsuit claims this violates their constitutional right to due process. Pechman has made the case a class action. She ordered a March trial, but the advocacy groups on Nov. 6 filed a motion for summary judgment and the state responded Dec. 1. Lawyers for the plaintiffs responded to the state on Friday, saying any waiting period longer than seven days is unacceptable. An Associated Press

review found that some state judges who ordered the competency evaluations filed dozens of contempt orders this year against the state when the orders were not followed. The judges also have ordered sanctions that have topped $200,000. McIlhenny told the court the situation is not as bad as the rights’ groups have made it out to be and the situation is getting better each day. He said the department has struggled with a lack of funding, increases in demands for service and staffing challenges, but a closer look at the different cases reveals that the process is only

failing a few. The problem must be broken down to what’s happening at the two psychiatric facilities — Western and Eastern state hospitals — and be broken down further by looking at who’s waiting for evaluations, who needs competency restoration and whether they were charged with misdemeanors or felonies, he said. The competency evaluation wait times for people charged with misdemeanors at Western State Hospital is an average of 15 days, while there’s no wait for these cases at Eastern State Hospital, he said. But the felony evaluations in the west wait 27 days, but wait

47 days in the east, he said. Felony restoration cases can wait an average of 89 days for a spot in Western State Hospital but wait only five days for space in the eastern hospital, he said. “This court should grant only a narrow and constrained partial summary judgment that addresses the most extreme wait times,” he said. Advocacy group lawyers urged the judge to end the warehousing of these mentally ill defendants and issue a summary judgment so they can begin to find solutions. Herald writer Diana Hefley contributed to this report.

unfairly in any way, shape or form,” he said. “Not one.” Lovick created the ombudsman’s job as part of the 2014 budget to promote government transparency and accountability. Koster at the time was preparing to leave elected office as a Republican county councilman because of a limit on the number of terms one can serve. As a staunch Democrat, Lovick’s choice of Koster seemed like an inspired bipartisan gesture. He was willing to look past the GOP stalwart’s unrelenting conservatism to recognize his grounding in county government and reputation for high ethical standards. This fall, the County Council adopted new rules to give the council a greater role in deciding who will be ombudsman. The office is supposed to operate independently of other

branches of government. The ombudsman has the authority to investigate public complaints about county government and to recommend efficiency improvements. A separate office handles workplace complaints involving county workers, which involves direct contact with union issues. Koster spent much of this year drafting procedures for the ombudsman’s office. Before those rules were in place, he began receiving pleas for help. Early on, most of the requests involved land-use and planning issues. He’s worked at sorting through property-tax questions and water-runoff problems, as well. He also spent part of the year helping people hit by the Oso mudslide. Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @NWhaglund.

Search on for missing angler By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — Emergency responders are searching Blackmans Lake in Snohomish for a

missing fisherman. The 38-year-old Lake Forest Park man was last seen Saturday inflating a blue kayak in the parking lot, said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman for the Snohomish

County Sheriff’s Office. Searchers found a partially submerged blue kayak in the lake Sunday morning. The sheriff’s office dive team and helicopter are part of the

search effort, which began after the man’s relatives reported him missing. Dan Catchpole: 425-339-3454; dcatchpole@heraldnet.com; Twitter: @dcatchpole.

Kamiak High senior Elizabeth Swanson wants to pursue mechanical engineering and Spanish studies at Washington State University.

Musically, mechanically minded Kamiak High’s Elizabeth Swanson plays the cello and also is fluent in Spanish By Amy Nile Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Elizabeth Swanson is a senior at Kamiak High School. She’s a cellist in the orchestra and a leader in her church youth group. She speaks Spanish and enjoys solving math problems. Swanson, 17, plans to study mechanical engineering next year at Washington State University. Question: Tell us about your involvement in music. Answer: I play the cello. I’m the assistant principal, which is the one who leads the cellos. I’m the librarian for the Philharmonic Strings 1 Orchestra, which is the highest school orchestra. I copy the music, sort

it and put it in the big room of music. It’s a lot of work. This year, I also did the Everett Youth Symphony Orchestra, and we started a rock orchestra. Q: How did you get into music? A: My brother was really involved in music when he was in middle school, and I liked his teacher, Ms. Valdez. I asked her what instrument I should play when I was in second grade. She said, “Violins and violas are a dime a dozen. You should play the cello.” I’ve been doing it ever since. Q: What do you like about it? A: It gives me something to actually work for. I get to play concerts and work with people and make music. Q: What other activities have

you been involved with at school? A: I did Key Club for three years. It’s a volunteer service organization. We did random volunteer activities. For example, I helped with two fundraising auctions at the Museum of Flight. Q: What activities are important to you outside of school? A: I’m one of the youth group leaders at my church, Mukilteo Presbyterian. There are about 20 middle school students who come. We set up the activity, make sure it runs well and we try to make it as fun as possible. It’s sort of like a family because I’ve been in it for so long. Q: You speak Spanish? A: I’m in Spanish 5. I studied over the summer so I could skip

Spanish 4. I learned to congregate seven tenses. I watched a lot of movies in Spanish. Luckily, “The Avengers” is in Spanish. Q: Tell us how you came to like math after not liking it for years. A: I didn’t like math until 10th grade. The parts, such as geometry or algebra, were all separate. But once you get into calculus, they all start to fit with realworld concepts that are helpful. When you know why, they have logic behind them instead of just math. Q: What are your plans for the future? A: I’m going to Washington State University next year. I want to major in mechanical See SUPER, Page A6

he results are in, and the Worst Parking Lot in Snohomish County dishonor goes to the Trader Joe’s complex on Everett Mall Way. It wasn’t even close. Frontier Village in Lake Stevens, the Marysville Safeway complex and Boeing Everett were runners-up in this completely unscientific tally of votes by email, Facebook post and blog comment. The runners-up were outnumbered by far more votes than there are parking stalls at the Trader Joe’s complex. Among those giving a thumbsdown to the tiny parking lot, which also serves a discount store and Christian book store, was Susan Shatzka Maass, of Clearview. “I won’t even go there anymore,” she said in her Facebook comment. Truth be told, I forgot about the parking lot because I avoid it, too. “Three businesses share the lot that TJ or The Dollar Store could fill on their own,” said Diane Neighbors, of Everett, in an email. Drivers sometimes back up onto Everett Mall Way as they try to find a spot in the small loop. “Add carts, kids, tight spaces to the mix — it’s challenging.” This question was initially posed in the lead-up to Black Friday. So it’s fair that we also hear from Sabrina of Everett, who “braved that parking lot ... on Black Friday expecting the worst, but came out relatively unscathed.” She still calls it one of the worst, though. For the record, my co-worker and I are tied. We each got one measly vote for our nominations (hers for the Costco complex at Smokey Point and mine for the WinCo on 164th Street in Marysville). Other nominees included Xfinity Arena in downtown Everett — for lack of a parking lot — and, my personal favorite, I-5.

What it takes to get an arrow Jo Clark, of Everett, writes: I have a question about an intersection. On 75th Street, heading west at Evergreen Way, traffic backs up for left turns almost every light cycle during the day. There is no left-turn arrow. If someone from the opposite direction is waiting to turn left, it’s very difficult to see if other cars are coming up to the intersection since the waiting car blocks the view. There are also usually pedestrians crossing Evergreen and so you have to watch for traffic coming from across and then it has to coincide with a time there aren’t pedestrians. Have they considered putting left-turn arrows at that intersection?

Cyrus Way. This will be the first opportunity for the public to review progress on the master plan and comment on designing the park. The results of the open house will be combined with input from the Japanese Gulch Master Plan Subcommittee to create two preferred alternative designs for further review and public comment.

It's not too late to get your flu shot

t’s not too late to get your flu shot. That’s the message Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner and Lake Serene Clinic owner Joshua Webb wants people to know. Washington state has not yet been fully hit with flu outbreaks so there is still time to protect yourself and loved ones from getting the flu if you don’t put it off any longer. Lake Serene Clinic has given many doses of flu vaccine this year. “I think we’re on our second or third re-order now,” Webb said. “We’re going through a lot more than we thought we were going to. I think this year, for our practice, we have either more people agreeing to them or coming in on their own to get flu shots than we have had for the past few years.” That’s good news because the more people who are protected means fewer people get infected. That’s why even young healthy people should get flu shots. Not only will they not miss work or school, they also won’t pass it on to others. Some people should always get flu shots. For anyone with a chronic disease, they can be a lifesaver, Webb said. Those people who should always have them include the elderly, children, diabetics, asthmatics, anyone who has a pulmonary disease and anyone who is immune compromised such as people on

IN R O SN

chemotherapy, transplant patients and people with HIV. Unfortunately, a lot of people decide not to have flu shots because they have heard flu shots give you the flu. “That’s a really common myth that people have,” Webb said. “In most formulations of the flu shot, it’s actually an inactivated virus so it can’t possibly give you the flu. It’s a dead virus.” However, it is sometimes possible for flu shots to give people mild flu-like symptoms while the body is building antibodies. People have also been known to pick up colds and upper respiratory infections from germs they were exposed to before they actually got the shot. “The flu mist is one of the only ones to actually have a live virus in it. So the flu mist actually has a very small chance of getting you sick. The flu shot does not. But it is just as effective,” Webb said. If you do get the flu, the symptoms usually include really high fevers, coughing, headaches, body aches, runny nose and sore throat. Depending on the strain of flu and the person who gets it, that list can also include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. But not every illness with these symptoms is the flu. Webb and his colleagues often have patients come

in believing they have the flu when they really have a sinus infection or common cold. Actual flu is sometimes treated with antiviral medications but these are usually reserved for use in high-risk patients. Antibiotics are not effective in treating the flu because they do not treat viruses. Your best line of defense

is prevention. That means getting your flu shot in the right-time window of late summer to early fall. “Usually we want to start doing things around August or September,” Webb said. “That gives it enough time to work by the time the flu season hits yet not run out of its effectiveness.” That happened a few years ago, Webb explained.

A flu wave hit in March and a lot of people who got their flu shots really early, found their flu shot had worn off by then. That’s also why it is not too late to get your flu shot now to protect yourself and your loved ones for later in the flu season.

State attorney general: PSE is overcharging customers Associated Press SEATTLE — Puget Sound Energy is overcharging its customers by as much as $35 million a year, the state attorney general’s office says. Attorney General Bob Ferguson claims the private utility owes more than 1 million customers a refund, The Seattle Times reported. “Washington law requires that utility rates charged to consumers be fair, just, reasonable and sufficient,” Ferguson said in a statement. “Fair utility rates can incorporate a reasonable return for investors, but not an excessive one.” Ferguson’s office submitted testimony on the issue to the state utilities commission, which is re-examining what PSE’s profit margin should be after the attorney general convinced a Thurston County Superior Court judge it needed to be reviewed. The commission

had approved a 9.8 percent rate of return last year, the same rate PSE investors received in 2011. The state argues that the improving economy has reduced the cost of equity capital, and because

automatic rate increases under the plan reduce investors’ financial risk, PSE should not be receiving the same return on equity that it received in 2011. The judge ruled last summer that the Washington

Utilities and Transportation Commission failed to adequately study a key number that determines how much profit PSE investors can collect in the rate plan, which started in July 2013 and could extend

into 2016. The utility says not only is 9.8 percent fair, but that it could justify even higher returns. “It was determined through our discussion and our research that it

Herald staff MALTBY — A house fire in Maltby Sunday afternoon sent the occupant to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Neighbors at a mobile home park reported the fire in the 8700 block of 206th Street Southeast at about 3 p.m. Before firefighters arrived, two neighbors pulled the resident out of the single-wide mobile home. Firefighters quickly put the fire out, which was contained to a small area in the home, said Battalion Chief Mark Toycen of Snohomish County Fire District 7. Firefighters from Monroe and Woodinville also responded to the alarm. The resident, a man, was sent to Harborview in serious condition due to burns, Toycen said. One of his rescuers was sent to Evergreen Health Medical Center in Kirkland because of smoke inhalation, he said.

Initial Ebola test comes back negative SEATTLE — King County health officials say initial test results on a man who recently returned from the West African nation of Mali have come back negative for Ebola. Public Health-Seattle & King County said the man was tested at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle

after developing a slight fever Friday. The state Health Department said Sunday the tests were negative. Officials had been monitoring the man, a King County resident, for possible Ebola symptoms. He also had a sore throat but none of the other typical symptoms of the disease. The man remains at Harborview in satisfactory condition, and doctors are running additional tests for respiratory viruses and other infections that could

be causing his symptoms. If they think it’s needed, doctors say they’ll run a second test to conclusively rule out Ebola on Monday. Officials said the man will continue to be monitored through the 21-day period during which Ebola symptoms could develop.

I would like to go to Spain, maybe South America or even Central America. Q: What are you most excited about? A: I’m looking forward to meeting new people.

Stephen (Steve) Charles Saunders

selected for naval officers’ school at Harvard. Prior to the armistice he had a two year assignment as the supply officer of a construction battalion in Okinawa. He talked little about the war but he did keep a diary during his time of service. He attended the inauguration of the WWII Memorial in Washington, D. C. on May 29, 2004 . After the war Steve returned to Everett where he and Dan Duryee Jr. continued the work of their fathers (Stephen and Dan Sr., respectively). They specialized in developing residential subdivisions in Snohomish and Island County. Steve and Dan’s partnership was a special lifelong friendship as well as a business. One night as a dinner guest with the Oftebro family, Steve met a boarder and kindergarten teacher named Josephine Jeffers. After a short courtship Steve and Jo were married in 1949 by Jo’s father, the Honorable Clyde Jeffers, Chief Justice of the Washington Supreme Court. Steve and Jo loved to travel, spend time with their family, and visit their cabin on Camano Island, Wash. Steve was reser ved and modest in his love for the people of Snohomish County but his actions were not. His passion was helping in the improvement of life for the community of Everett and encouraging others in community ser vice. He ser ved on the boards of many community organizations with enthusiasm. Steve was preceded in death this year by both his wife of 64 years, Josephine, and also a son, Michael. Steve is survived by daughter, Mary Snedden (Dr. John) of Sandpoint, Idaho, and six grandchildren: Stephen Snedden of Sandpoint; Anna Smith (Peter) of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Erika Sargent (Ryan) of Oceanside, Calif.; Sarah Anaya of Austin, Texas; Marissa Schuh (Troy); and Michael Saunders, Jr. of Montana. In addition, Steve is sur vived by nine great-grandchildren. In March of 2013 Steve celebrated his 100 year bir thday with friends and family in Southern California. The day before his 100th he golfed nine holes and scored two pars. There will be a Celebration of Life in memory of Josephine and Steve at F irst Presbyterian Church in Everett on Saturday, December 13, 2014 at 2 p.m. Two lives well lived. Go Cougs!

Marla Carter of Everett’s Public Works Department responds: Consideration of adding left-turn phasing for signals involves reviewing the traffic movement volumes (left turns vs. opposing through traffic), crash history and sight distance issues. In the case of Evergreen and 75th, the east/west left turn and opposing through-traffic volumes are not sufficient to meet the guidelines for considering left-turn phasing. We checked the crash history and found in the last three years there were only two accidents involving left-turning cars from 75th Street. A review of the sight distance shows although the westbound left turn lane is offset around 2 feet from the opposite side, there is still adequate room to observe opposing eastbound through traffic. We also monitored the traffic flow and observed only moderate queuing for westbound left-turning traffic. Nearly all such traffic was able to be served in one traffic cycle. We will continue to monitor the operations of this signal to ensure it continues to adequately serve the traffic demands.

What’s it takes to get a crosswalk Ida Nelson dreads the four-way stop near her home in Edmonds at 238th Street SW and 84th Avenue W, where she says drivers seem to routinely ignore the stop signs. “I fear to cross the street to get my mail since cars come around the corner of 238th and 84th without so much as a pause, certainly not a legal stop, which causes me to run in order to get out of their way,” Nelson said. All-way stop intersections are usually fairly safe “if people were to obey the rules,” said Bertrand Hauss, the city’s transportation engineer, when asked about Nelson’s concern. Hauss confirmed that there are stop bars painted on the road beside the stop signs. Adding crosswalks might further help; but in order to add a crosswalk, there needs to be a sidewalk on either end, and sidewalks are something that intersection lacks. Adding a sidewalk might sound simple, but the costs quickly pile up. Projects like that typically require some help from grant money. Hauss said it’s too early to say whether this particular intersection should be added to the city’s wish list. “We have a lot of other projects. We need to prioritize them. There’s a possibility, but nothing’s

I’ve had the same friends since third grade, so it’ll be nice to branch out. Q: How have you changed during high school? A: I was a major procrastinator. Now I’m just a minor procrastinator. I think being assistant principal in orchestra helped because I had to practice, finish journals and get all the rest of the stuff done. I’ve also learned to value time with friends. I’m kind of an introvert. Until this year, I never really hung out with people. But I’m realizing it’s pretty nice and it’s something I need to value more.

planned right now,” he said. In the meantime, Hauss said he would notify the police department about the enforcement concern.

Ban studded tires? Finally today, the sound of rainshakers from the car next to me reminded me it’s studded tire season. Studded tires are legal for use between Nov. 1 and March 31 in our state. But that doesn’t mean the state wants you to use them. In fact, the Washington State Transportation Commission every year recommends that the governor and Legislature ban studded tires (a previous ban was lifted in 1969). So far, efforts to ban or tax the tires have failed — even though 6 in 10 people in our state recognize that studded tires are problematic and contribute to roadway damage, according to a recent Pemco Insurance poll. The problem may be with people like me. When my 7-year-old who longs for a driver’s license finally gets one, the poll results indicate I might just say to heck with the roads, we’re putting studded tires on that jalopy. Those with children in the household were about twice as likely (29 percent versus 17 percent) as non-parents or empty nesters to install studded tires in both Washington and Oregon, the poll showed. Men were more likely than women to favor stricter regulations on studded tires (60 percent versus 49 percent). Overall, less than one-quarter of those surveyed in Washington thought studded tires were a “big problem.” “Regardless of where people line up on the issue, the fact is that studded tires do rip up the roads, which comes at a cost to taxpayers,” PEMCO spokesperson Jon Osterberg said in a press release. The state Department of Transportation estimates that studded tires cause from $7.8 million to $16 million worth of damage to state roadways each year. Studded tires damage pavements through “raveling,” wearing away at the surface until ruts form to the point that the pavement needs to undergo diamond grinding and, eventually, be replaced. It’s not just a cosmetic concern but one of safety, too, with such rutting leading to hydroplaning and other ills. The state urges drivers to consider traction tires instead. Have a question?

Police behavior debate lacks reliable statistics Are police incidents a growing trend or coincidences? Few answers in stats, experts say. By Allen G. Breed Associated Press

Ferguson, Missouri. Cleveland, Ohio. Staten Island, New York. Eutawville, South Carolina. In each place, individuals— all unarmed except for a child carrying a pellet gun— died at the hands of police officers. All of the dead were black. The officers involved, white. To many Americans, it feels like a national tidal wave. And yet, no firm statistics can say whether this spate of officerinvolved deaths is a growing trend or simply a series of coincidences generating a deafening buzz in news reports and social media. “We have a huge scandal in that we don’t have an accurate count of the number of people who die in police custody,” says Samuel Walker, emeritus professor of criminal justice at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a leading scholar on policing and civil liberties. “That’s outrageous.” There are some raw numbers, but they’re of limited value. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, for instance, track justifiable police homicides— there were 1,688 between 2010 and 2013— but the statistics rely on voluntary reporting by local law enforcement agencies and are incomplete. Circumstances of the deaths, and other information such as age and race, also aren’t required. The Wall Street Journal, detailing its own examination of officer-involved deaths at 105 of the nation’s 110 largest police departments, reported last week that federal data failed to include or mislabeled hundreds of fatal police encounters. Put simply: It’s hard to know for certain what is happening on the ground. “We want a comprehensive picture ... so people can be aware of what really goes on, and not the claptrap put out by people with agendas,” says David Klinger, a professor of criminology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis who has studied use of deadly force and hopes to get funding for a pilot project that could provide better national statistics. To those who have taken to the streets to protest in recent weeks, that lack of context is almost beside the point. “These are communities that have been living for generations under the yoke of what has felt

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — Veterans who survived the Pearl Harbor attack that launched the United States into World War II attended Sunday’s 73rd anniversary ceremony with the help of canes, wheelchairs and motorized scooters. Wearing purple orchid lei, about 100 Pearl Harbor and World War II survivors attended the ceremony overlooking a memorial that sits atop sunken battleship USS Arizona. Many of them arrived well before the sun came up. This year’s anniversary of the Japanese attack is the 10th consecutive one that USS Utah survivor Gilbert Meyer attended. But it’s getting harder for Meyer, 91, to travel to Hawaii from San Antonio. Asked if he planned to attend next year’s anniversary, he

Gas prices drop 12 cents per gallon CAMARILLO, Calif. — A national survey reveals the average price of regular gasoline has plunged another 12 cents a gallon over the past two weeks, to $2.72. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that the decline continues a nationwide trend. Lundberg said lower crude oil prices are continuing to drive prices down, along with an abundant oil supply and the rising value of the U.S. dollar. The highest-priced gas in the Lower 48 states was found in San Francisco at $3.04 a gallon. The lowest was in Albuquerque at $2.38 a gallon. The average price for midgrade gas in the U.S. is $2.96. For premium it’s $3.12.

Wyo.: Parks plan criticized

HECTOR GABINO / THE MIAMI HERALD

Protesters block traffic and march in the streets in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami during a protest against police brutality on Sunday.

like an occupying force,” says Phillip Atiba Goff, co-founder of UCLA’s Center for Policing Equity. “And regardless of what any of the stats are ever going to say, if we don’t address the reality of that experience, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot in our attempts to make good on our promise of democratic principles.” The high-profile cases have erupted one after the other. On July 17, 43-year-old Eric Garner died after officers tried to arrest him on suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes on a New York City street. Cellphone video captured the scene as one officer wrapped his arm around Garner’s neck, and the black man repeatedly pleaded, “I can’t breathe.” Tensions escalated on Aug. 9, when Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot unarmed, 18-yearold Michael Brown in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. On Nov. 22, a Cleveland officer shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice after responding to reports of an armed man at a city park. Rice had been holding a pellet gun. Two days later, officials announced that a grand jury had declined to return an indictment in the Brown case. Fires from the resulting protests in Ferguson had barely stopped smoldering when word came there would be no charges against the officer in New York City. Again, angry protesters marched. Then a grand jury in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, returned a murder indictment Wednesday against a former small-town police chief in the May 2011 shooting death of an unarmed black man. Richard Combs, who was the sole officer for the town of Eutawville, had been charged with official misconduct for shooting Bernard Bailey, who

had come to the town hall to argue about a ticket his daughter had received. Combs’ attorney questioned prosecutor David Pascoe’s motives in seeking the murder charge. “He’s trying to make it racial, because his timing is perfect,” John O’Leary said. “He’s got all the national issues going on, so they want to drag him (Combs) in and say, ‘Look what a great community we are here, because we’re going to put a police officer who was doing his job in jail for 30 years.’ That’s wrong.” Walker, co-author of the book “The Color of Justice: Race, Ethnicity, and Crime in America,” says much of the anger out there comes from years of conflict between the black community and law enforcement. “Within the African-American community, there has been an experience of disrespect, offensive language, mistreatment in terms of stops and so on,” he says. “And there’s a sense that the police are out to get them.” It’s not just the killings that have minority communities “fed up,” says Inimai Chettiar of the New York University law school’s Brennan Center for Justice. “African-American communities are tired of being over-policed, over-prosecuted, sent to prison, having men taken away from their communities, having families broken,” says Chettiar, director of the center’s Justice Program. “I think there’s much more than just an instinctual sense that there is something amiss in these communities. I think people are tired of ‘tough on crime.’” Whether such incidents are on the rise, says Walker, “we’re certainly more aware. And, certainly, the digital revolution has had a huge impact.”

Goff compares it to the ice bucket challenge phenomenon of this past summer— in which a series of viral videos raised millions of dollars for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. “Once something is trending, so that it’s in the American consciousness, people become aware of it,” he says. “The reason we’re hearing about this is because we’re hearing about it. It has its own momentum.” Goff has begun work on creating a policing database, with funding from the Department of Justice, the National Science Foundation and private groups. He says it would include not just deaths but all police stops and uses of force. “Is it getting better? Is it getting worse? What are the actual numbers?” asks Goff. “You know, when a plane crashes, it feels all of a sudden like it’s not safe to fly. But if you look at the statistics, it’s way safer to fly— and always has been— than to drive a car.” The Department of Justice is investigating possible federal civil rights violations in the Ferguson case and has opened an investigation into Garner’s death in New York. On Thursday, the agency reached an agreement to reform the Cleveland Police Department after concluding that officers there use excessive and unnecessary force far too often— an investigation prompted in part by the deaths of the two black occupants of a car involved in a high-speed chase. In that case, 13 officers fired 137 shots at the unarmed suspects. Chettiar is hopeful that recent events will create the “political and public will” to begin gathering and analyzing the facts. “In addition to personal stories,” she says, “statistics help people change their minds.”

Survivors remember Pearl Harbor attack Associated Press

ACROSS THE U.S.

responded with a chuckle, “That’s like asking me if I’ll still be alive.” Harold Johnson, 90, is making it a goal to attend the 75th anniversary, even though traveling from Oak Harbor, Washington, isn’t always easy. “I’ve got a little scooter that’s a real life saver,” the USS Oklahoma survivor said. Johnson had been aboard the Oklahoma for just six months on Dec. 7, 1941, looking forward to a day off and a “date with a little Hawaiian girl.” He was shining his shoes when the first alarm went off, he recalled. “Three months later I ran into her in town in Honolulu,” he said of his date. “She was mad at me because I stood her up.” For many of the roughly 2,000 survivors who remain, there are also more painful memories. Keynote speaker Gen.

Lori Robinson, commander of Pacific Air Forces, told the crowd of several thousand about four of the nine remaining survivors of the USS Arizona. Don Stratton, 92, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Lauren Bruner, 94, of La Mirada, California, were two of six men who escaped the inferno that engulfed the forward half of the ship by negotiating a line, hand over hand, about 45 feet in the air, despite burns to more than 60 percent of their bodies. John Anderson, 97, of Roswell, New Mexico, was ordered off the ship, but he didn’t want to leave behind his twin brother, Delbert. Even though he was forced into a small boat that took him to Ford Island, he commandeered an empty boat and returned to the Arizona to rescue three shipmates. But he never found his brother.

“When the Arizona sank, she took with her 1,177 sailors and Marines,” Robinson told the crowd, which included Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Hawaii Gov. David Ige. Robinson also highlighted the sacrifices of the Honolulu Fire Department, which was dispatched to respond after receiving the alarm at 8:05 a.m. “Without knowing it, the Honolulu Fire Department was going to war,” she said. “Three firefighters would never return, and six others would be seriously injured.” The ceremony also featured a Japanese peace prayer, a Hawaiian blessing and a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the bombing began. F-22s from the Hawaii Air National Guard 199th Fighter Squadron and Air Force 19th Fighter Squadron conducted a flyover.

A proposal to double the cost to enter Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks in northwest Wyoming is drawing resistance. The town of Jackson, fishing guides and wildlife safari companies are among those speaking out against a plan that calls for increasing entrance fees for the two neighboring parks. Under the National Park Service plan, a 7-day pass good for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks would increase from $25 to $50. An annual $50 pass good for both parks would be discontinued in favor of each park having its own $60 annual pass. Town leaders formally opposed the plan in a comment letter. “The South Gate of Yellowstone and Moran gate of Grand Teton are separated by only 28 miles on Highway 89/191/287,” the letter says. “It makes no sense for visitors to have to pay separate entrance fees at both parks.”

Fla.: Prisoners released The U.S. military dropped off six longago cleared Guantanamo captives in Uruguay on Sunday — culminating a complex, on-again, off-again year-long deal to resettle the men in the nation of President Jose Mujica, himself a longheld political prisoner. Among the six was hunger striker Abu Wa’el Dhiab, whose failed federal court fight to stop the military from force feeding him raised his profile among the half-dozen littleknown detainees from Syria, Palestine and Tunisia. None has ever been charged with a crime, and now all are to start new lives in the South American nation with the help of some Spanish lessons offered to them since March at the U.S. Navy prison in Cuba. All six prisoners sent to Uruguay got to Guantanamo in 2002. The other five men were identified as Syrians Abdelhadi Faraj, Ahmed Adnan Ahjam, Ali Hussein al Shabaan, Tunisian Adel Bin Mohammed Ouerghi and Palestinian Mohammed Taha Matan.

AROUND THE WORLD Philippines: 8 die in storm Typhoon Hagupit weakened as it moved towards the Philippine capital Monday after killing at least 8 people and displacing over 1 million people in the eastern and central provinces. Hagupit hit the country’s east coast on Saturday evening, bringing heavy rains and galeforce winds that flattened homes, ripped off roofs, and knocked out power and communications. But the typhoon has gradually weakened as it crossed the central Philippines. More rain was expected over the affected areas, including Manila, where schools and government offices have been suspended.

Sierra Leone: Doctor dies Another Sierra Leonean doctor has died from Ebola, the 10th to succumb to the disease, in what the country’s chief medical officer on Sunday called a shocking trend. Dr. Aiah Solomon Konoyeima died Saturday, according to Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brima Kargbo. His death came a day after two other doctors died from Ebola. Konoyeima worked at a children’s hospital in the capital and was treated at the Hastings Ebola Treatment Center. Hundreds of health workers have been infected in this outbreak, which overall has sickened more than 17,500 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Of those, about 6,200 have died.

Nepal: 17 die in bus crash Police say an overcrowded bus has plunged off a mountain road in Nepal, killing at least 17 people and injuring 50 more. Police official Kesh Bahadur Shahi said Monday that the bus veered off the road near Pokharakada village Sunday night and rolled about 2,000 feet down a slope. Rescuers pulled out 14 bodies while three more died at a hospital. There were 67 people on the bus, which had 38 seats. From Herald news services

New owners tap into Where-U-Brew By Mina Williams For The Herald

EDMONDS — Dennis Gallagher had just lost his job as a cook on a Puget Sound tugboat in 1994 when he watched a television segment about people making their own beer. The piece focused on a Canadian equipment and supplies provider and how an unemployed man the same age as Gallagher started a U-Brew business. Gallagher and his wife Sandy did some research, contacted the company and found a storefront in Edmonds close to their home. And that’s how they started Gallaghers’ Where-U-Brew 20 years ago. “I never wanted my own business,” Dennis Gallagher said. “We opened at a good time,” Sandy Gallagher said. “U-Brew was exploding.” Gallagher’s Where-U-Brew offers guests the opportunity to brew beer or make wine with all the proprietary recipes and supplies provided. Guests can also quaff a pint of beer, fill a growler or have a party among the steam-fired, copper brewing kettles. It has become an Edmonds institution with the Gallaghers fostering a friendly pub-like feel for their customers. “People have made friends, prospered in life and shared their successes,” Dennis Gallagher said. “It’s not just about making beer. It’s about the importance of life and making a social connection.” Customers bring in friends and groups, sharing their enthusiasm for the process. One group has been returning regularly since 1997. The family feel reflected back on the Gallaghers as demonstrated in December 2010 when the operation moved from the original downtown location to a larger facility by the Port of Edmonds. A group of 40 customers descended on the store to pack and move equipment, including the large kettles. After Gallaghers’ moved into their new location American Brewing Co. opened in an adjacent spot and Salish Sea Brewing opened across the street. “It is not about keeping people brewing batches of beer for years,” Dennis Gallagher said. “It is about creating a memory that customers tell their friends about. That is how to build a

business. It is slow and arduous, but it works.” Now the business is changing hands. Marcie and Tom Kretzler had such good memories of Gallaghers’ that they bought the business in October from the Gallaghers.

The Kretzlers — Marcie, an optician, and Tom, who works in technology — were looking for something different that they could do together. The couple have been married for a year. They plan to keep the name, Gallaghers’ Where-U-Brew.

“We are planning to keep that sense of community,” Marcie Kretzler said. “It’s like coming home,” said Tom Kretzler, whose grandfather was a longtime Edmonds resident and physician. The business created 20 years of memories, fun and sometimes headaches for the Gallaghers. “When things go wrong, you have to fix it,” Dennis Gallagher said. He recalled coming close to running out of bottles. He got on the phone and found three pallets in Utah. Another time the strong Euro caused most of the Washington hop crop to be shipped to Europe. Relationships fostered over the years helped Gallaghers’ ingredient supply. Dennis Gallagher credits his success to showing up every day and paying keen attention to his hiring. He and his wife emphasize that this work is not suited as a career for all craft beer enthusiasts. “You have to hire right, and

cut early if they don’t work out,” Dennis Gallagher said. “If you don’t like washing fermenters, this may not be a good fit. You have to like being cold and wet. The only glamor is in the end product.” Once hired and trained in the art of U-Brew, the Gallaghers send their employees to Hopunion, a business in Yakima that offers a Hop & Brew School. Gallaghers’ has been awarded top honors for their beers at local beer festivals. Former employees have gone on to larger brewers such as Scuttlebutt Brewing, Elysian Brewing and Mac & Jack’s. In the early years Dennis became a source for U-Brew information while he was struggling to build his own business. “It was a challenge to get people to stop picking my brain and just brew a batch,” he recalls. “That is the only way to learn this business.” Gallaghers’ three full-time employees will continue with the new owners.

Value, selection draws Canadian shoppers to Blaine By Oliver Lazenby The Bellingham Business Journal

biz bits

BLAINE — Shops that you’d expect to see in a seaside town line Peace Portal Drive in downtown Blaine — restaurants with outdoor seating facing Drayton Harbor, an ice cream parlor and consignment and antique shops. Mixed in are an increasing number of storefronts of a different type — package-receiving businesses. A growing number of Canadians are shopping online and saving money on international shipping costs by sending their purchases to one of the 15 package receiving businesses in Blaine, which hold packages for a fee until their owners pick them up. Canadians ship to the United States for several reasons. Some U.S. companies don’t ship to Canada, or if they do, they charge

extra shipping fees. Some that do ship to Canada only offer free shipping to the U.S. Often, by picking up a package in the U.S., Canadians can avoid paying Canadian sales tax. “If they come down here and pick it up and declare it at the border, more often than not they just get waved through without paying duties and taxes,” said Roger Benetti, owner of Pulse Packages on Peace Portal Drive. Parcel receiving businesses aren’t new in Blaine, but the industry exploded in the last three years, with eight or nine new businesses opening, said Carroll Solomon, board member of the Blaine Chamber of Commerce. Benetti lives in South Surrey, B.C., and has worked in Blaine for 15 years. When he started shopping online, he saved 30 to 50 percent by having his stuff shipped to Blaine, he said.

Alaska USA Federal Credit Union members contributed more than $66,000 to community food banks during the Cash for Cans food drive. Washington branches collected $6,300, which will benefit Northwest Harvest in Seattle, Help House Food Bank in Oak Harbor and Hopelink in Redmond. Alaska is a member-owned, not-forprofit financial cooperative.

“The main reason I think people are doing it is value,” Benetti said. “The other big thing is there are different products down here that you can’t even get in Canada.” With online shopping and the market for package receiving businesses growing, Benetti opened Pulse Packages two years ago. It was an easy opportunity, he said, because he had extra space in the building he owns for operating his other Blaine-based business, Rach Inc., which sells uniforms to government institutions and international schools. Benetti’s mostly Canadian customers pick up everything from shoes and clothes to bicycles, camera equipment and car parts. For his service of receiving packages and storing them for up to 30 days with no extra charge, Benetti charges $2.50 per package. “My overhead and stuff is

Brookdale Mill Creek, formerly Emeritus at Mill Creek, is having a ribbon cutting ceremony and an open house Dec. 18.

Brookdale Mill Creek is at 14905 Bothell-Everett Highway in Mill Creek.

covered by my other business, so it’s easier to make a profit charging $2.50,” he said. Prices for a package under 100 pounds vary, but most businesses charge $2.50 to $5. For packages that weigh more than 100 pounds, Benetti usually directs his customers to one of the bigger receiving businesses in town — Edge Logistics. The package receiving section of Edge Logistics’ 90,000 square-foot warehouse has two 20-foot-tall steel racks stacked with cardboard packages. In between, there’s a 6-foot-tall pile of boxes that owners Dennis and Pamela Wilson said will become a brown mountain in December. Edge Logistics accepts big packages for both businesses and people. Four truck wheels and tires are stacked at one end of Edge’s receiving area, and a 500-pound BMW motorcycle balances on its kickstand nearby.

As a part of the annual Realtor Food Drive in the month of October, Windermere Edmonds brokers, with the help of the community and a local partnership with Las Brisas Mexican Restaurant, collected 19,200 pounds of food, through food and cash donations, that will benefit all Edmonds-area food banks.

A new website was launched by the city of Edmonds. The revised site is aimed at better promoting tourism in Edmonds. It is part of a larger tourism promotion campaign that includes strategic advertising across a variety of media. The new website and community festival and events calendar can be found at www.visit edmonds.com.

They even get vintage cars on occasion, Dennis Wilson said. Heavier packages at Edge Logistics cost $18. The Wilsons started their parcel receiving business five years ago. They already ran a shipping company that moved freight from Seattle to Vancouver, B.C., so they had warehouse space. Now, package receiving is about 25 percent of their business, Dennis Wilson said. In the five years since Edge Logistics started receiving packages, they went from getting a few packages a day to about 800 a day last December. They expect to do even more business this month. “It blew me away when this thing really started to kick in a couple years ago...” Dennis Wilson said. “One gal waited in line at the border for 45 minutes, and she was getting a box of specialized candy for a wedding. I asked if it was worth it and she said, ‘Oh God yeah.’ ”

IN OUR VIEW | Everett’s combined sewer/stormwater system

City sewer work must be done The problem can arise — literally and disgustingly — during storms when heavy rains flood Everett’s antiquated combined sewer and stormwater system. The stormwater and sewage are churned into a potent mix of bacteria and pollutants, and, when it can’t flow fast enough into Everett’s wastewater treatment plant, backs up in one or both places: into basements and bathrooms or into Port Gardner and Possession Sound. In addressing replacement of the combined system, the city of Everett has selected the least expensive option for its ratepayers, a realistic decision, even if it falls short of what really should be done in

the interests of the environment and long-term costs to residents. Still to face a Dec. 17 public hearing and the City Council’s approval, the plan would spend $320 million over 10 years to separate some sections of the combine sewage and stormwater lines, upgrade the treatment plant and reduce the frequency of sewage and stormwater backing up into homes and bays. Two other options — a total replacement and separation that would have cost $1 billion and taken until 2045 to complete and another with a price tag of $480 million and taken 20 years — would have meant too big a monthly hit to the city’s residents. As it

is, sewer rates will increase, eventually doubling over the next 10 years. But the increase is not an unfair one. Everett residents pay one of the lowest water and sewage utility rates in the region; Seattle residents pay about two-and-half times Everett’s typical rate of $49. Here’s what residents will get for that investment: less frequent episodes of sewage backing up into homes or out into the bay; a healthier environment and fewer beach closures; and insurance against future failures of a system in need of replacement. In selecting the least expensive option, the city is choosing to address some but not all of the necessary work the system needs. We hope

Everett officials can use the other options as considerations for longer-term work in the future. And we’d like to see the city look for opportunities to make the most of work that tears up city streets to make repairs to roads and other utilities. We also encourage all homeowners in Everett and throughout the county to consider things they can do to treat the stormwater on their property. The Snohomish Conservation District can offer advice on installing rain barrels, rain gardens and permeable paving that can slow or even divert stormwater from the system, preventing pollutants from entering streams and bays.

by a gun-happy neighborhood watchman who, in my opinion, got away with murder. Just a minute ago I heard in New York there won’t be an indictment in a choke-hold death of Eric Garner by police for selling single cigarettes on the street. Black men are 21 times more likely to be killed by police then white men. When will this all end? Again I don’t condone violence, but as Martin Luther King said,” Riot is the voice of the unheard” and “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” I will no longer be silent. Mr. Wenzel was so wrong to suggest that Eugene Robinson earned his most recent Pulitzer Prize as a result of affirmative action and covering minority news verses the truth.” He earned the Pulitzer prize for his wonderful coverage of the 2008 election of President Obama. Mr. Robinson launched his twice weekly op-ed column in 2005 with the Washing Post and within a year it was syndicated in more than 150 newspapers. Eugene Robinson has numerous journalism awards and is the associate editor of the Washington Post. Facts do mean something.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■HEALTH EXCHANGE

What we had was far from perfect A gentleman from Everett, in a Dec. 5 letter to the editor, expressed very justifiable frustration with the Washington Health Benefit Exchange. To think, though, that everything was better before the government got involved is wrong. We are virtually the only developed nation in the world without socialized health care. America’s borderline paranoia of government has obstructed progress in providing universal health care every step of the way. Our health care system is, as a result, broken badly. It is designed to serve mostly the well-to-do. What else would a profit-based system do? For instance, America is the absolute only developed nation to not provide paid maternity leave. This should be embarrassing. We spend an obscenely high amount on care for those with means. Much more than any other nation spends to care for everyone. I could understand this some if it resulted in significantly better care. This crazy inefficiency is the result of the free market with its influence in Congress. The total list of America’s shortfalls in providing basic health care is much longer than this letter could hold. Look up the numbers. It will just take a few minutes. We treat our children worse than most nations. So don’t complain too much about the government when it comes to health care. You have the one you deserve. Rick Walker Snohomish

■■ROBINSON COLUMN

Anger, dispair understandable I have to respond to Robert Wenzel’s Dec. 3 letter regarding Eugene Robinson’s Nov. 30 column, “People in Ferguson reacted to disregard shown to them.” While I never condone violence or property destruction by anyone, I do understand the anger and utter despair many people of color, as well as white people like myself, feel when time after time we hear about police killings of unarmed black men and other people of color without any justice. Yes, Michael Brown did shoplift and intimidate the store owner, but is that a crime that deserves the death sentence? The police chief said that the officer who killed Mike Brown didn’t even know about the shoplifting. What about John Crawford

he words, spoken about the Eric Garner travesty in New York, were righteous and powerful. “When you look at what they did to this guy and putting him in a chokehold like that, it’s inexcusable — absolutely inexcusable and brutal.” “This is the New York police completely out of control. ... Manslaughter absolutely should have been DANA MILBANK considered.” And who uttered such phrases? The Rev. Al Sharpton? Lawyers for the Garner family? Actually, these sentiments were voiced Thursday by Glenn Beck, one of the fiercest warriors of the right. Conservatives, with a few exceptions, have responded with admirable outrage over a grand jury’s failure to indict white police officer Daniel Pantaleo, who was caught on video killing Garner, an unarmed African-American. Pantaleo put Garner in a chokehold and ignored Garner’s cries that he couldn’t breathe — even though the victim’s only alleged offense had been selling untaxed cigarettes. Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said he was “extremely troubled” by the video and Garner “did not deserve what happened to him.” His Fox colleague Andrew Napolitano said the “grand jury made a grievous error” because it seemed police “used grossly excessive force on a non-violent, non-threatening person,” while Charles Krauthammer called the decision “totally incomprehensible.” Washington state Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, head of the House Republican Conference, called for the House to hold hearings on the case. “We need to be taking action,” she told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” If it is possible to say that anything good has come from such an obvious miscarriage of justice, it is that the Garner decision has rekindled, if briefly, what Franklin Roosevelt called the “warm courage of national unity.” The Ferguson, Missouri, decision last month, in which a grand jury declined to charge another white police officer who killed another unarmed black man, split the nation along racial and political lines, but this is one of the rare moments since the 9/11 attacks that has united left and right, black and white. It surely won’t last long. The question is whether a reluctant president will seize the moment. The early signs indicate more of the same reticence. Though President Obama has spoken twice about the Garner case since the decision, White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Thursday, asked about a “broader national effort” by the president, suggested people wait to see what Obama’s new task force on policing comes up with — in 90 days. But Obama doesn’t have 90 days. If he waits, he will violate Rahm Emanuel’s famous rule, expressed after Obama won the presidency in 2008: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” because it is “an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” The Garner case should produce more than mumbles about a task force and some modest funds for police training and body cameras. There are any number of bigger things Obama could do, including alternatives to grand juries. This year, Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker — no liberal — signed first-in-the-nation legislation requiring an outside investigation whenever anybody dies in police custody, and a public report if charges are not filed. The president could use his pulpit to push for similar laws in the other states. He could at least demand a national count of police killings, which, scandalously, we still don’t have. Or he could take a broader approach to racial matters and revive a rewrite of elements of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Supreme Court; there is already bipartisan support for such action. In a sense, it matters less what Obama does than that he does something with this moment — particularly because the rest of his agenda, and with it much of his legacy, is moribund on Capitol Hill. A top White House official suggested Thursday that Obama may be coming around. “We agree there is a moment here to have this conversation and make something of this,” the official told me. It would be more than a shame for Obama to squander this moment of national unity. He may never get another one. Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

standing than whites. In 2013, they made up about 2.4 percent of the county’s population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That year, the median income for blacks was $24,561 compared to $31,349 for everyone in the county and $33,041 for whites. And 6 percent of white families had lived below the poverty line in the previous 12 months, compared to nearly 15 percent of black families.

with African heritage, but it’s open to any student in Snohomish County. “We are not lecturing

to them but building on their strengths,” said Janice Greene, a Boeing executive and president of the

NAACP’s Snohomish County branch. She helps run the course. When 17-year-old

Rayzne McCartha heard about the program, she signed up and tried to get other students to do so, as well. “This is a thing most people should go to,” the 17-year-old Mariner High School student said. “It showed me what I can do with my abilities as an African-American woman,” she said. It also taught her to reach out for help when she needs it, McCartha said. No one succeeds totally on their own, said Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas, one of several speakers at Saturday’s ceremony. “Every single person needs help in this life,” he said. Lucas had been a star football player in high school, but then he injured his shoulder, he told the students. His doctors said he shouldn’t play, warning

that further injury could do long-term, irreversible damage. His coaches, though, told him to play, Lucas said. “One coach, my favorite coach, he told me, ‘If you don’t play, you’ll never go to college,’” he said. The coach’s message was clear: As a black man, he could only get into college with brawn, not brains. But a teacher reached out to him, telling him that was not true, that “you are not a product of your programming,” he said. Before everyone went their separate ways, Greene encouraged the students to come by Everett Public Library this next Saturday, when the NAACP would screen a film about what to do when you’re stopped by police — a grim reminder of what it can mean to be black in America.

Progress made in search for concussion blood test The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — For decades, researchers have been seeking a blood test that could diagnose a concussion and tell whether it is severe enough to cause lasting brain damage. In a big step toward that goal, University of Pennsylvania scientists have found that a blood protein called SNTF surged and stayed elevated in professional hockey players with persistent concussion symptoms, but not in players who recovered within a few days. “These results show that SNTF has promise as a blood biomarker for sports-related concussion,”

said Robert Siman, a research professor of neurosurgery at Penn and lead author of the study in last month’s Journal of Neurotrauma. Every year, a million people in the U.S. — many of them young athletes — are hit on the head, causing the mild brain trauma known as concussion. Although most recover within hours or days, a minority suffer lasting symptoms of brain injury such as headaches, confusion, depression, and irritability. Current diagnostic tests for concussion are imprecise and indirect; even a CT scan may show nothing unusual. Test results often leave coaches and athletes unsure about

whether returning to play is safe — or liable to lead to disabling, potentially fatal, reinjury. Siman and his Penn team discovered SNTF and have spent 20 years studying it, hoping to find a blood protein that correlates with brain injury the way troponin signals cardiac damage. Troponin tests are ordered to assess whether chest pain is due to a heart attack. “We were looking for a brain counterpart,” Siman said. SNTF is normally undetectable in brain nerve cells called axons. But after injury, the protein accumulates in axons and spills into the blood — even when a CT scan seems normal. In a past study of

whose persistent symptoms kept them off the ice for six days or more. By measuring SNTF after a training session, the study also found that exertion did not affect the level. Several other potential concussion markers have been evaluated but have drawbacks, said Jeffrey J. Bazarian, an emergency medicine physician and concussion expert at the University of Rochester. For example, he discovered that a nervous system protein that surges after a concussion also rises after a marathon or bone fracture. “Contact sports are being played differently now. Athletes get hit a lot more,” Bazarian said. “A

protein like this (SNTF) is so desperately needed. We need a way to pull athletes out of a game, prick their finger, and not even ask them their symptoms. We need to take the guesswork out of diagnosing concussion.” Though SNTF needs to be validated in a larger, longer study, Siman said he was pursuing development of a commercial test. A reliable test could open the door to developing something else that is desperately needed — a way to heal concussion. “An early prognostic marker like we hope SNTF will prove to be is absolutely vital to the search for drug treatments and rehabilitative strategies,” Siman said.

concussion treated in the emergency room, Siman’s team found that patients who had brain abnormalities on MRI scans or thinking problems that persisted at least three months had elevated SNTF blood levels. The new study, done with Swedish researchers, used blood drawn before and during the hockey season from 73 Swedish professional hockey players, including 28 who had concussions. Compared to preseason baseline levels, SNTF rose an hour after concussion. Levels returned to baseline in eight players whose concussion symptoms resolved in a few days, but stayed elevated for up to six days in the 20 players

disappear forever if they keep turning up dead in fishing nets. The latest stock assessment by a panel of international scientists showed that there are fewer than 100 left and that they are declining at a rate of nearly 20 percent a year. U.S. officials have pressed Mexico to close their habitat in the upper Gulf of California to all fishing, and they expressed exasperation recently when the Mexican government did not announce stricter regulations as anticipated.

Timid and elusive, vaquitas — Spanish for “little cow” — are four to five feet long and weigh up to about 120 pounds. They get caught in the gill nets of Mexican fishermen casting for large blue shrimp, a delicacy American restaurant-goers crave. They also drown in the nets of poachers in pursuit of the endangered totoaba, a large sea bass prized for its bladder, which is cherished by the Chinese as an alternative medicine. A pair of totoaba bladders can fetch $8,500 in China, officials with the National Marine Fisheries Service said. In recent weeks, 385 bladders were confiscated in Mexico City. To rescue vaquitas, international scientists are hoping for a collaboration between the United States, where the shrimp is consumed; China, where the bladders are boiled into a soup; and Mexico, where fishermen are trying to feed families.

cetacea in North America to do so, and the first in the world since the Chinese river dolphin was declared extinct in 2006. Dolphins differ from porpoises in their noses, namely that blunt-faced porpoises do not have much of a snout. But the vaquita overcomes that shortcoming with a starlet’s beauty. “It’s got the goth look going on, the black lipstick and heavy mascara around the eyes,” said Barbara Taylor, a conservation biologist for the Southwest Fisheries Science Center run by the U.S. Commerce Department in San Diego.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

DAILY CROSSWORD

6 simple rules for being a good parent By John Rosemond Tribune News Service

espite the conclusion one might reach after reading the latest issue of any popular parenting magazine, the job of parent is actually quite simple; so simple that I can describe the entire ball of wax in about 15 column inches. First, a parent’s responsibilities — beyond providing the basic necessities of life — are to provide unconditional love and unequivocal leadership. The “trick,” if you will, is to keep those provisions in a state of balance. Too much of either is toxic. Love without an equal measure of authority expresses itself in the form of numerous enabling behaviors. Likewise, authority without an equal measure of love quickly turns into abuse of one sort or another. Second, there are but six fundamental understandings that a parent needs to convey, lovingly and authoritatively, to a child:

1. You are to pay more attention to me than I pay to you. (Three Bits of Helpful information: First, all discipline problems are due to children paying insufficient attention to adult authority figures. Second, the more attention you pay a child, the less the child will pay to you. Third, you obtain a child’s attention by simply acting like you know what you are doing.) 2. I am in charge here; therefore, I tell you what to do. (Helpful information: When giving an instruction to a child, always use the fewest words possible and do not explain why you are giving the instruction. Explanations sound persuasive and provoke push-back.) 3. You do what I tell you to do. (Helpful information: Parents who want child to obey for their own benefit don’t get it. Obedience is in the best interest of a child. The research finds what common sense affirms; that is, obedient children are also happy children. You get a child to obey by acting like you know what you are doing.)

4. You do what I tell you to do simply because I tell you to do it. (Helpful information: If you do not accompany an instruction with an explanation, then your child is forced to ask for one. That gives you the Golden Opportunity to respond with the most powerful four words in a parent’s vocabulary: “Because I said so.”) 5. At any given time, I do not care what you think of me or any decision I make. (Helpful information: Parenting is not a popularity contest. When you want your child to like you, you end up doing things that negate your ability to provide leadership, which means you end up enabling.) 6. You can always count on me to provide for and protect you under any and all circumstances. (Helpful information: If your child is secure in that understanding, then the world is a safe place and, therefore, eventually becomes the child’s “oyster.”) I ask you: Could that be any simpler?

Wife of deaf husband finds it hard to cope Dear Abby: My husband, “Norm,” has become profoundly deaf. He has a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other; neither has helped much. He has extreme difficulty with speech recognition. We can talk together in the quiet of our home as long as I sit right next to him and speak slowly. We use assisted-listening devices to communicate with each other in the car or at a restaurant. Norm’s hearing loss has affected us as a couple. When Norm and I are out together, we become “invisible” to other couples. It’s too much work for anyone to communicate with us. We are about to move to a retirement community where one meal a day is included in the dining room. I’m worried about how we will navigate the social aspects of eating with others, who will rapidly decide they don’t want to eat with us again because of the difficulty of trying to chat with Norm. Norm is well aware of this problem. He has proposed that he eat alone in our apartment while I go to the dining room and meet people, unencumbered by his impairment. — Trapped In A Situation Dear Trapped: Before moving into the retirement community, make a point of discussing your husband’s severe hearing impairment with the director, the nurse and/or their medical adviser because they need to be made aware of your husband’s special needs in order to be able to accommodate him.

In practice, your hand is worth less than its point count suggests. Your distribution is flat, your hearts are weak and your isolated queens are overvalued. I’d settle for a raise to two hearts.

I once taught a continuingeducation course, and the coordinator, who knew nothing of bridge, noted that I would discuss “the duck.” She wanted to know what that was; maybe she wondered what something that quacked and waddled had to do with bridge. Readers will know about “ducking” a trick to gain a strategic advantage. At today’s 3NT, South took dummy’s ace of diamonds, following with his eight. He led the ace, king and jack of clubs, and West

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, Dec. 8, the 342nd day of 2014. There are 23 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Imperial Japan, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. On this date: In 1854, Pope Pius IX

proclaimed the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which holds that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was free of original sin from the moment of her own conception. In 1980, rock star John Lennon was shot to death outside his New York City apartment building by an apparently deranged fan. Associated Press

They elected to do both, casting the talented Alfre Woodard as the president. She has both a professional connection to Heigl’s character (a high-level CIA analyst) and through her dead son, who was Heigl’s character’s fiance (played by Mark Tallman in flashbacks). Woodard loves that her role wasn’t cast in a safe way.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Follow the trends and observe how others respond around you this year, and you will figure out how to maneuver your way through the ups and downs that come your way. Gains can be made if you make a move or adjust your current living situation. Your numbers are 2, 17, 21, 26, 38, 45, 47. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Refuse to let an emotional matter blow up, causing you to miss out on an opportunity. Experience is the engine for success and will enable you to expand your interests and goals. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rely on those you trust and respect. Don’t get angry about the suggestions made. Listen carefully and you will find a way to use the information you receive in a positive manner. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ask for help and fight back if someone is unfair. Don’t let an emotional or personal matter stop you from pursuing a position or occupation you desire. A partnership can change the way you live. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Emotional matters will flare up if you have been inconsistent.

COMMENTARY

Seahawks ‘peaking at the perfect time’

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

HILADELPHIA — The Seahawks are not only playing their best football of the season. This might be as well as they’ve ever played. Their three-game winning streak, capped by a 24-14 win over Philadelphia on Sunday, is a string of dominance that matched anything they showed during their 2013 regular-season run toward the Super Bowl. They held the Eagles to historically low offensive output, with one of the touchdowns the result of a short-field possession after a turnover. Even with that, opponents have scored only 20 points in the past three games. They’re the best defense in the NFL, and the throttling of the potent Eagles offense proved it. The Eagles came in averaging 31.3 points a game and 416 yards of offense. “It was a very similar rhetoric, wasn’t it? We’ve heard that before, and it doesn’t intimidate us at all,” said cornerback Richard Sherman, making an obvious reference to the last time the Seahawks took on an offense that was operating at historic efficiency: The Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. Instead of 31 points, the Eagles got 14. Instead of 416 yards, they got 139. Instead of their average of 73 offensive snaps, they had 45. And instead of winning See BOLING, Page C6

PHILADELPHIA — Richard Sherman turned his back on the field, where another Seattle Seahawks’ defensive domination was well underway. He took a bow toward fans behind Seattle’s bench that weren’t exactly spewing brotherly love. Sherman then posed and put his ✓ Simon has best game C6 hand to his ear, as if ✓ Maxwell thrives as nickel C6 seeking more noise. ✓ 5 things we learned C7 “You enjoy the hostility,” said Sherman, ✓ Baldwin plays key role C7 who traded taunts ✓ Sherman has fun with fans C7 with the 49ers’ crowd on Thanksgiving — and had a bottle thrown at him. “It kind of motivates you during the game, to send them home.” His wasn’t the only way in which Seattle humbled Philadelphia on Sunday. Russell Wilson threw for 263 yards with touchdowns to Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch. He also ran for 50 yards and another score in his latest day of remarkable improvisation and escape. Meanwhile Sherman, cornerback Byron Maxwell and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and the rest of the Seahawks’ rejuvenated defense turned Philadelphia’s go-go offense into goo in Seattle’s 24-14 victory over the NFC East leader Sunday at angry Lincoln Financial Field.

Huskies in Cactus Bowl Washington to play Oklahoma State on Jan. 2 By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Huskies will spend New Year’s Day in warmer climes. Washington accepted an invitation to play in the Cactus Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tempe, Arizona (7:15 p.m. PT, ESPN), where the Huskies (8-5) will face Big 12 Conference opponent Oklahoma State (6-6). “We’re really excited to be going down to the Cactus Bowl in Arizona,” Huskies head coach Chris Petersen said. “I think the location is awesome. Who doesn’t want to be heading to Arizona this time of year? I know our coaches and players do. Hopefully at least part of the Husky Nation wants to come with us. So we’re really excited to go down there. I think Oklahoma State has one heck of a program.” The Cactus has the seventh and final selection among bowls that guarantee bids to eligible Pac-12 teams. Had Arizona not finished high enough to earn a Fiesta Bowl invite, the Huskies would have been pushed out of the Pac-12 bowl picture and into an at-large situation.

But Oregon finished No. 2 in the CFP rankings to earn a spot in the national semifinals against Florida State, and Arizona, despite losing 51-13 to the Ducks in the Pac-12 championship game, finished with a high enough ranking (10th) to wind up in the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State. The Cactus Bowl is the most recent evolution of what was originally the Copper Bowl (1989-96), then the Insight.com bowl (1997-2001), then simply the Insight Bowl (2002-11), then the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (2012-13). TicketCity is the official sponsor of the Cactus Bowl, which is operated by the Fiesta Bowl. This will be UW’s fifth consecutive bowl appearance after missing the postseason from 2003-09. The Huskies are 2-2 in their last four bowl games. Petersen said the Huskies will take more time off in the coming week as they prepare for final exams, and will return to practice and begin gameplanning for the Cowboys the week after. Due to the late game date, players will also be given time off to travel home for Christmas.

“I’m excited to really play in January,” said fifth-year senior defensive end Andrew Hudson. “I think it’s cool because it gives us more time to really prepare for it, and also enjoy the benefit of being with our families for the holidays. This is the first time I get to go home for Christmas in the last four, five years.” Oklahoma State snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Oklahoma in overtime, 38-35, on Saturday. The Cowboys played a pretty tough schedule that included losses to No. 3 Florida State, No. 5 Baylor No. 6 TCU, No. 11 Kansas State, West Virginia and Texas. They beat Missouri State, Texas-San Antonio, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas and Oklahoma. “You always want to challenge yourself in life and in this game,” fifth-year senior receiver DiAndre Campbell said. “We want a challenge, and we know they’re going to be a good challenge. They’re a good team, and they battled back to get bowl eligible. ... I’m just excited to play against them. We don’t normally get to play against teams from that conference. We just watch them on TV, for the most part.”

Alabama, Oregon, Florida St. and Ohio St. in college playoff Associated Press GRAPEVINE, Texas — The first College Football Playoff expanded the national championship race, made the regular season even more intriguing and produced a final four with major star power. Nick Saban’s No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Urban Meyer’s No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes at the Sugar Bowl. Marcus Mariota, this season’s Heisman Trophy front-runner, and second-seeded Oregon vs. Jameis Winston, last season’s Heisman Trophy winner, and defending national champion Florida State at the Rose Bowl. The winners will meet on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. A new era, indeed, but with the same old problems: What is the best way to pick the teams and what should be the criteria? After six weeks of ranking teams, the selection committee shuffled its deck Sunday and dealt the Big 12 out of the playoff. “We’re smarting today,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. TCU, which had been third in the rankings last week, ended up sixth. Big 12 co-champion Baylor moved up a spot to No. 5, but both were squeezed out by Ohio State, which won over the committee with a doozy of a closing statement in its conference championship game: a 59-0 victory against Wisconsin

for the Big Ten title. “I would say that human nature is that the most recent thing that occurs, in this case the most-recent achievements, are the most impactful,” Bowslby. “Ohio State’s victory over Wisconsin was complete domination, and in that regard they played their way into the position they now enjoy.” The Big 12 doesn’t have one of those anymore. Its teams play only 12 games, compared to 13 for champions of the other Big Five conferences. Bowlsby and his conference athletic directors are meeting in New York this week and he anticipates the topic of how best to determine a champion will come up. “This will be a catalyst for discussion for sure,” Bowlsby said. The Big 12 can’t hold a championship game because it only has 10 teams, but the conference, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, is trying to change that. The leagues have proposed getting rid of NCAA rules requiring a conference have 12 teams split into two divisions to play a title game. Holding one with 10 teams that play a nine-game roundrobin schedule isn’t ideal because the game would always be a rematch, Bowlsby said. “I don’t know with 10 it’s something that we would necessarily do,” Bowlsby said. But conference expansion is a complicated issue that goes

well beyond whether to hold a championship game. Bowlby cautioned about making a “knee-jerk” reaction to one year’s results. He said his faith in the process has not wavered. “We put a system in place and I helped to put it in place and I have confidence in that system. And I have confidence in the impeccable integrity of the people in that room,” he said. Baylor coach Art Briles wasn’t so sure. “I think the committee needs to be a little more regionalized with people that are associated with the south part of the United States,” he said. “I’m not sure there is a connection on there that is that familiar with the Big 12 Conference.” There were five active athletic directors on the 12-member committee, one from each of the Big Five conferences. The Big 12 was represented by West Virginia’s Oliver Luck. The Mountaineers have been in the Big 12 for three seasons. Maybe the most jarring part of Sunday’s unveiling was TCU dropping three spots from the last rankings. The Horned Frogs seemed to be secure at No. 3 last week, and then beat lowly Iowa State by 52 on Sunday. Long said TCU’s drop was more about the Buckeyes than the Frogs, but it highlighted a problem with weekly rankings. Commissioners initially leaned toward not having them when they first started putting the playoff together.

SAN DIEGO — The goal this week for the Seattle Mariners, as the baseball industry convenes for its annual Winter Meetings, is fairly simple: Acquire a right fielder without surrendering one of their young arms. Or any arms, really. After last week’s deal that netted lefty J.A. Happ from Toronto, general manager Jack Zduriencik dispelled the notion that it signaled an increased willingness to dangle, say, Taijuan Walker to nab that coveted outfielder. “That’s a little bit of a dangerous road,” Zduriencik cautioned. “You look at our pitching staff, and when you analyze it, a couple of those young starters didn’t pitch a lot of innings last year.” Walker and James Paxton each spent substantial time on the disabled list, and one-time top prospect Danny Hultzen missed the entire season while recovering from shoulder surgery. Rookie lefty Roenis Elias didn’t pitch after Sept. 16 because of an elbow injury that required minor surgery — or what club officials hope was minor surgery. Further, veteran Chris Young departed as a free agent. In effect, Happ replaces Young on the rotation depth chart. Manager Lloyd McClendon currently projects Happ as the No. 3 or No. 4 starter. Multiple club officials flatly dismiss the idea of trading either Walker or Paxton, whom they control for the next six and five years, to get a one-year rental such as Atlanta’s Justin Upton or Boston’s Yoenis Cespedes. While the Mariners could pursue Upton if the price drops, they show little interest in Cespedes, whom the Red Sox are shopping after acquiring him July 31 from Oakland. The Mariners, instead, show increased interest in free-agent Melky Cabrera, switch-hitter who projects as a smooth fit as the lineup’s No. 2 hitter. In addition to whatever Cabrera would command in salary, the Mariners (or any club but Toronto) would also surrender a draft pick as the penalty for signing a player who received a qualifying offer from his former club. If talks with Cabrera, 30, stall — and he’s seeking a five-year deal — the alternative could be a second-tier free agent, such as Alex Rios or even Jonny Gomes. The Mariners underscored their reluctance to part with a starting pitcher in recent efforts to pry veteran outfielder Matt Kemp away from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sources say the two clubs were moving toward a swap that didn’t include Walker or Paxton but had the Mariners paying roughly half of the $107 million remaining on Kemp’s salary over the next five years. Talks stalled when the Dodgers, perhaps after gauging Kemp’s potential return from other clubs, sought a revised deal that would include either Walker or Paxton and boost the Mariners’ share of Kemp’s salary. The Mariners, at the time, had not yet signed Nelson Cruz and were in desperate need of a impact right-handed bat for the middle of their lineup. Even so, they backed away. “If they weren’t willing to give up Walker (or Paxton) before they signed Cruz,” an official from another club concluded, “it’s hard to believe they’d do it now unless they’re just blown away (with an offer).” Even so, the Mariners remain interested in Kemp and seem certain to re-engage the Dodgers in discussions over the next few days.

Trade dollars The trade that brought Happ from Toronto for outfielder Michael Saunders also included some cash for the Mariners — enough to bridge the difference in salaries. That figures to be more than $3 million. Happ is under contract next season for $6.7 million, while Saunders is eligible for arbitration after making $2.3 million in 2014.

Wills on ballot Former Mariners manager Maury Wills is one of 10 player under consideration Monday for election to the Hall of Fame by the Golden Era Committee, which covers 1947-72. The 16-member committee will announce its vote Monday.

CARSON, Calif. — Landon Donovan grabbed Robbie Keane in a triumphant midfield hug right before Donovan’s girlfriend leaped into his arms. Moments later, Donovan and Keane raised the silver trophy together amid fireworks and a confetti blizzard. Throughout his remarkable soccer career, Donovan always did know how to finish. One last time, he did it as a champion. Keane scored on a breakaway in the 111th minute, and Donovan retired with his record sixth MLS title when the LA Galaxy beat the New England Revolution 2-1 on Sunday in the MLS Cup. Gyasi Zardes scored in the 52nd minute as the Galaxy won their record fifth league title in the final game for Donovan, the MLS career scoring leader and most accomplished player in U.S.

history. “I’m in a little bit of a daze,” Donovan said, still champagne-soaked after the celebration of the Galaxy’s third league title in four years. “There’s a lot going on. A lot of obvious excitement. There’s sadness. Uncertainty. Just pure joy for this team and what we did. It just feels strange, but I’m so proud what this team accomplished this year.” Donovan, Keane and the Galaxy have celebrated three times on their home field, the first two with David Beckham. Retiring with his skills largely still formidable, Donovan followed in Beckham’s footsteps by leaving on top, wrapping his 14-year MLS career with six titles, including two with San Jose. “He’s done it all,” said coach Bruce Arena, who won his record fifth MLS title. “He’s got very little left to give. I’m so happy he’s made this decision. He’s able to go out a winner.”

Oakland shocks 49ers passed for three touchdowns, appeared to incite a scuffle with frustrated New Orleans after he went over the pile for another score, and the Panthers ended a six-game skid.

Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and the Raiders put a major dent into San Francisco’s dwindling playoff hopes in the Battle of the Bay. Carr completed 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards and completely outplayed counterpart Colin Kaepernick as the Raiders (2-11) won their second straight home game surrounding last week’s 52-0 loss at St. Louis. With a second straight loss the 49ers (7-6) are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in coach Jim Harbaugh’s tenure. San Francisco is two games out of the second wild-card spot with three games remaining after making three straight NFC title games.

Broncos 24, Bills 17 DENVER — C.J. Anderson ran for three touchdowns and the Broncos overcame a rare unsteady outing by Peyton Manning. Manning’s streak of 51 straight games with a touchdown throw — three shy of Drew Brees’ NFL record — ended on a sun-splashed, almost still afternoon in Denver, where the game-time temperature was a balmy 63 degrees.

Colts 25, Browns 24 CLEVELAND — Andrew Luck threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to T.Y. Hilton with 32 seconds left, rallying Indianapolis. Cleveland contained the Colts quarterback until the final minute, but couldn’t finish him off.

es, including a 94-yarder to rookie Martavis Bryant in the fourth quarter that was the longest play from scrimmage this season. The win turned the AFC North into a wide-open race. In a game they had to win, the Steelers (8-5) caught up and ran away with 25 points in the fourth quarter.

Ravens 28, Dolphins 13 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Baltimore Ravens played more than 17 minutes before picking up a first down, then overcame a 10-point deficit to win. The victory gave Baltimore (8-5) a significant edge over Miami (7-6) in the AFC’s scramble for a wild-card playoff berth.

Cardinals (10-3) took the lead when Drew Stanton threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown on third-and-18 in the third quarter. The Cardinals’ seven wins are the most at home for the franchise since when the Chicago Cardinals won 11 of 13 in 1925. Arizona held on after winning a crucial reversal. Kansas City was driving with five minutes remaining when Arians challenged that tight end Travis Kelce fumbled after a 19-yard reception. The Chiefs (7-6) are tied with four other AFC wild-card hopefuls looking up at San Diego, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. The Cardinals have a one-game lead over Seattle, and the Seahawks travel to Arizona in two weeks.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Kerwynn Williams went from pretending to be Jamaal Charles on the Arizona scout team this week to outgaining Charles in the Cardinals’ 17-14 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. “That’s storybook stuff,” teammate Larry Fitzgerald said. With starting tailback Andre Ellington out for the season, the Cardinals turned to a guy who had been called up two days earlier from the practice squad. Williams delivered, rushing for 100 yards, 9 more than Charles. “That’s who we are,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. “A team is what it takes. That’s what we’ve built this thing on.” The NFC West-leading

MINNEAPOLIS — Jarius Wright’s 87-yard touchdown reception from Teddy Bridgewater in overtime gave the Vikings the win.

SPECIAL PAID ADVERTISING FEATURE

Consumers rush to get free TV after Supreme Court ruling U.S. households to get free TV with slick little micro antenna device engineered to pull in all over-the-air TV channels for free as law forces network giants to broadcast all TV signals regionally to all 50 states Free TV: Crystal clear hDTV picture with no cable, no satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills NATIONWIDE - Consumers just got handed a really good reason to get rid of cable and satellite bills. Everyone fed up with high cable and satellite bills, huge channel bundles and poor customer service are now flocking to get a slick little micro antenna device that lets U.S. households watch broadcast TV legally without paying a cable or satellite company for it and no monthly bills. So much attention is now being focused on this slick little device since the High Court handed down the big win for consumers. The landmark decision highlights the public’s ability to get all the top rated national TV network and regional shows broadcast over the air absolutely free. The only thing consumers need to do to get the slick little micro antenna device is call the Free TV Order Hotline beginning at 8:30am this morning or simply return the Free TV Claim Form printed at the bottom of this page before the 3-day postmark deadline ends. Everyone who does is getting the slick little $88 device at a real steal because it pulls in crystal-clear digital TV channels for free with no monthly bills. The target audience for the slick little micro antenna device has been young urban professionals who don’t want to watch more than 20 or 30 live TV channels. But now older folks are snapping up the slick little device because it’s rapidly becoming popular for those on fixed incomes and anyone who just doesn’t want to pay a cable or satellite bill anymore. “When advanced technology enables consumers to just plug in a simple device to get free TV, consumers are the winners,” said David Martin, Senior Analyst at CompTek, the company that makes the sleek little micro antenna device that works on virtually any TV. “This special advertising feature is being so widely published because there’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get are absolutely free,” Martin said. “That’s why the slick little device is not like being tied to a cable or satellite company. The device is engineered to access solely over-the-air signals that include all the top rated national and all broadcast stations, like DISNEY (ABC), COMCAST (NBC), CBS, 21st Century FOX (FOX), PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got Talent, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, 60 Minutes, The Bachelorette, Blue Bloods, Dateline, Person of Interest, American Idol, The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, CSI, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and sports all for free with no monthly bills,” Martin said. That means consumers who get the slick little device can channel surf through all the nations top favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels consumers get depends on where they live. People living in large metropolitan areas can get up to 53 crystal-clear digital channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even consumers in rural areas that pull in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts will still get hundreds of shows each year to watch for free. “It’s so simple all you do is just plug it into the back of your TV and place the razor thin micro device on a window or wall, then autoscan does all the rest. It works on virtually any model TV and you get a stunning HDTV quality picture,” Martin said. “It just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get all the top rated network channels and hundreds of shows absolutely free,” he said. But there is no time to waste, early reports show the free TV Hotlines are extremely busy. So, if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. ■

Its like getting a new HDTV for free. That’s why U.S. residents are flooding the Free TV Hotlines and rushing to the Post Office to return the Free TV Claim Form reprinted at the bottom of this page.

Consumers who get a slick little micro antenna device like the razor thin Clear-Cast® brand will get free TV with no monthly bills. The courts ruling emboldens the ability for consumers to legally use the slick little device in their own home to get free TV. The simple device is engineered to pull in nothing but free TV channels in crystal-clear digital picture with no cable, satellite or internet connection. That’s why this slick little micro antenna is a real steal at just $88 because it is such a smart alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying cable and satellite bills.

Aereo will likely suspend its business since the court’s decision after it developed a way to bootleg major TV network’s content. Aereo charged subscribers $8 to $12 a month to lease a dime size remote antenna located in the company’s facility.

With the victory, all major networks and TV stations get to protect their copyrights, but they must continue to comply with Federal Law 47CFR SEC. 1.4000 which allows consumers who have a slick little micro antenna device to receive all the crystal-clear overthe-air broadcast channels for free. Shown here are a handful of the major networks that must broadcast over the air channels that consumers can receive for free with the slick little micro antenna devices that saves money by not picking up expensive cable only channels like ESPN so there’s never a monthly bill for consumers to pay.

The Computer & Communications Industry Association backed Aereo’s position, having concerns that the ruling could be detrimental to other cloud services.

Report Card Offense

B+

The Seahawks gained 440 yards and had 28 first downs, and perhaps most importantly, they kept the ball for long stretches, limiting the amount of time Philadelphia’s offense was on the field (not that the Eagles were doing much when they had the ball). Quarterback Russell Wilson had another strong performance, running back Marshawn Lynch had a hard-fought 86 yards rushing, and Doug Baldwin led a strong day for the receivers with five catches for 97 yards and a touchdown.

Defense

Seattle’s defense was dominant in wins over Arizona and San Francisco, but despite the Eagles scoring 14 points, this was an even more impressive performance. Both of those Eagles scores were set up by special teams mistakes, and Seattle held a Philadelphia offense that came into the game averaging 416.2 yards to just 139 yards and nine first downs. In the past three games, the Seahawks have given up a total of 20 points and 507 yards. In other words, it’s safe to say they’re back to being the best and most intimidating defense in the NFL.

Special teams

D+

Jon Ryan did have three punts downed inside the 20. But he dropped a snap, setting up an Eagles touchdown, and also shanked a punt to give Philadelphia good field position. The Eagles set up their other score with a big kick return. Doug Baldwin let two punts bounce rather than catching them, hurting Seattle’s field position. And Paul Richardson brought two kicks out from deep in the end zone, and on both occasions failed to get back to the 20. Special teams mistakes were the only reason this game was even remotely close.

Simon plays best game as Seahawk By Dave Boling The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — Although the dislocated middle finger of his left hand looked gnarled and nasty, Seahawk cornerback Tharold Simon said he wasn’t worried about it. He’d played his best game as a pro, and snatched his first career interception off Philadelphia’s Mark Sanchez in the fourth quarter to help shut off the Eagles in a 24-14 Seattle win on Sunday. So, he said, he wasn’t going to let a finger joint spoil his day. Simon showed this sort of promise when he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2013 draft out of LSU. But injuries have limited him to six games in two seasons. “It was a real good game,” Simon said. “I thought, from

start to finish, I felt like I played good and it was due time for an interception. I’ve gotten my hands on a few but couldn’t bring them in.” At 6-foot-2, Simon has the size the Seahawks like at corner. Simon has done so well at the outside corner that he’s moved to that spot in the nickel defense while starting right corner Byron Maxwell slips over to the inside corner. “I’m almost there,” Simon said of his feeling comfortable with the scheme. “I go out and practice every day, and we practice real hard on our craft.” Maxwell, Richard Sherman and the rest of the veteran secondary have served as mentors as Simon has polished his skills. “Those guys stay on me, about simple things,” Simon said. “If they don’t see me drinking enough Gatorade, they’re on me

— hydrate, hydrate. That’s what I love about them: they’re like my big brothers.” Simon has mostly been noticed by piling up penalties, including four against San Francisco. “I don’t like it at all,” he said of his infractions. “Coming from college, I probably had two or three penalties in three years in college. They just emphasize more stuff here and I have to get away from some of the stuff I do. Most of the penalties are from not trusting yourself, simple stuff.” He drew a penalty on a punt return on Sunday, he said, for “dog-hounding” a coverage man. “He couldn’t get off the jam and I kind of accidentally put him to the ground.” Sherman, particularly, has taken interest in Simon’s development.

“As I told you before, Tharold Simon is going to be a great player in this league,” Sherman said. “He’s further along than I was. He’s going to be a fun player to watch, and I’m excited for him.” Seahawks head oach Pete Carroll noted Simon’s efforts, as well as other young players, including defensive tackle Jordan Hill, who finished with four tackles, two for losses, and a sack. “I love when those guys can contribute like that,” Carroll said. “We’re playing these guys like regulars. We hoped to get to the second half of the season, and the guys we’ve been kind of nurturing along now become regulars. So, Tharold makes a big play today, and we see Jordan Hill get a sack and some pressures; he had a couple nice tackles in the backfield, as well. That’s fantastic for us that those guys are able to contribute.”

Seahawks’ Maxwell thrives in nickel cornerback role By Gregg Bell

Given an extra few days to prepare, head coach Pete Carroll had his team playing a nearly perfect game (and don’t forget the Eagles had extra time as well having played on Thanksgiving too). The offense moved the ball well with a balanced attack. The defense was dominant, and the penalties were less of a factor, though Seattle still had eight of them. If not for those special teams miscues, this might have been Seattle’s most complete game of the season, especially considering the opponent and venue.

Seahawks’ cornerback Tharold Simon (27) intercepts a pass intended for the Eagles’ Riley Cooper (14) during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — Byron Maxwell looked better than a nickel. More like a quarter or half-dollar. And Pete Carroll and Dan Quinn look like sages. Last week Seahawks head coach Carroll had talked about how much he and Quinn, his defensive coordinator, like putting starting cornerback Byron Maxwell inside as the fill-in fifth — “nickel” — defensive back with Jeremy Lane injured. Sunday in the Seahawks’ 24-14 humbling of the grounded Philadelphia Eagles, Maxwell showed why the Seahawks love him there, where he had also excelled in last week’s win at San Francisco. Maxwell made five plays to stop the Eagles on third downs and end drives. Two of those were passes he knocked away from Eagles slot receiver Jordan

their 11th consecutive home game, the Eagles fell to 9-4. “All week you hear about how explosive their offense is and how fast they are, so for us to come in and do what we did shows how good we are,” said linebacker K.J. Wright. “I wasn’t surprised at all. As we watched film, I noticed they do a lot of trick things to get your eyes off motion, but when it comes down to it, they run basic plays, stuff that we see all the time.” Wright said the defense was on top of every Eagle offensive

Matthews in the first half. Three others came on immediate tackles after catches over the middle. Maxwell’s instant tackle of wide receiver Riley Cooper two yards short of the first down with 1:48 left in the first half of a tie game forced Philadelphia to punt. The Seahawks converted that ensuing chance into Steven Hauschka’s field goal the end of the half, and they never relinquished that lead. “I love it (at nickel),” the rangy, 6-foot-1 Maxwell said to the only reporter talking to him following the game — while two dozen crowded around teammate Richard Sherman’s locker a few feet to his left. “You get to be freer to make more plays inside. You get to run around more.” Carroll likes Maxwell’s size, long arms and speed against opposing slot receivers. Matthews probably wasn’t as thrilled. He had just two catches for 23 yards, after 54 catches in 12

games before he ran into Maxwell. “For one, it’s a good matchup,” Carroll said. “Matthews got us once (for 17 yards in the first half), but it was a good matchup we thought going in, so we had some good chances with him.” The Seahawks’ new arrangement includes Tharold Simon at Maxwell’s usual spot at cornerback opposite Sherman when Maxwell moves inside. Sherman sees this as a winwin, Maxwell inside and the emerging Simon outside. It’s an arrangement the Seahawks might be tempted to continue to use even when Lane — injured most of this season — fully returns from his gluteus muscle injury. Especially next weekend against the same 49ers the Maxwell-at-nickel move helped throttle last week in Seattle’s 19-3 win in California. “I’ve said before I thought Tharold Simon was going to be one of the better corners in this football league. And he’s starting

to finally figure it out a little bit,” Sherman said. “He’s starting to come into his own. I’m really proud of him. He played a great game tonight.” Carroll had joked on Friday whether he should trade jabs with Mark Sanchez, his quarterback at USC through the 2009 Rose Bowl they won together. The Seahawks defense hit Sanchez for him Sunday. It sacked Sanchez three times and limited him to a mere 98 yards passing on 10 completions in 20 attempts. Philadelphia was the No. 4 offense in the NFL entering Sunday, with 31 points and 416 yards per game. The Eagles had season lows of two touchdowns and 139 yards against Seattle and the Maxwell-Simon set-up. That is the lowest yardage total in Chip Kelly’s head coaching career, back to before he was leading Oregon. “Our guys covered very well. We made it hard on Mark,” Carroll said. “There was not a lot of space out there to throw the football.”

indicator, and they communicated it across the field, from player to player. “The way we prepare for teams, we had 10 days between games; you give us 10 days to get ready for somebody, it’s hard to beat us,” Wright said. Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner wouldn’t go for the theory that the Hawks looked assignment perfect, saying that only a shutout could be considered perfect. Still, holding Eagle back LeSean McCoy to 2.9 yards per carry on 17 attempts has to grade highly once they look at the videos of this game. “We just wanted to make sure every time he got the ball,

somebody hit him,” Wagner said. “You watch the film, you see he jukes a lot of people, but he didn’t juke anybody today.” In consecutive 19-3 wins over Arizona and San Francisco, the Hawks were hardly threatened. But the Eagles presented a different challenge for the defense. “They took this challenge very much to heart,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. Again, he stressed, the performance wasn’t about the scheme or the game plan or the assignments. “(It’s) the guys playing it, playing it with intensity and energy,” Carroll said “It’s not just the scheme at all, it’s really Kam (Chancellor) and Earl (Thomas), Michael Bennett, and K.J. and

Bobby (Wagner) and Sherm — everybody. They will just not back off this station we’ve acquired in terms of intensity and focus. They get it and they’re going to try to ride it all the way to the end of this thing and see what happens.” Asked how well the defense is playing relative to the league, Wright allowed they were one of the best in the NFL, before wagging his finger and adding: “No, we are the best in the NFL, and we’re peaking at the perfect time.” The Eagles were the fourth division leader the Seahawks have beaten this season, following defeats of Green Bay, Denver and Arizona.

Seahawks’ wide reciever Doug Baldwin catches a 23-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Eagles.

Baldwin plays key role for Hawks By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — The Seahawks’ defense was so dominant — again — the offense didn’t need many plays. But when it did in Sunday’s 24-14 win at Philadelphia, Russell Wilson went to Doug Baldwin. Even though he wasn’t supposed to. Philadelphia had closed to within 17-14 in the third quarter of a game Seattle had been thoroughly controlling, after Eagles’ tight end Zach Ertz had beaten linebacker K.J. Wright down the sideline on one of the only mistakes by the Seahawks’ defense.

Seattle was backed up to its own 21 after yet another sputtering kickoff return by rookie Paul Richardson. The crowd at Lincoln Financial Field was loud for one of the only times on a brisk, windy evening. On first down Wilson rolled to his right away from what was constant pressure from the Eagles’ pass rush. Baldwin, not the purpose of the shorter play call, rather leisurely ran a clear-out route down the right sideline. “I’m actually not even a read on that play,” Baldwin said. “I’m clearing it out for somebody else.” But for one of the relatively few times this season Wilson let it fly deep, 40 yards downfield to

Baldwin. “I’m trusting Doug to go up and get the plays,” Wilson said afterward. He got this one — by being crafty. As the ball was in flight he engaged Bradley Fletcher in a grabbing contest. Baldwin reached in on the Eagles cornerback. Fletcher retaliated by grabbing Baldwin around his torso with both hands. Baldwin pushed back. As the pass sailed over the heads of both of the preoccupied players incomplete, officials flagged Fletcher. The 44-yard pass-interference penalty put the ball at the Eagles 35. “When I saw the ball in the air

and I saw the defender looking back at me, I just wanted to run into him to try to create contact and try to create a penalty situation,” Baldwin said. “It just happens like that sometimes.” After the penalty, Marshawn Lynch had a 1-yard catch and 7-yard run before Wilson threw for a first down in the flat to 285pound fullback and part-time defensive end Will Tukuafu. On the next play, Baldwin got free down the right hash marks for a 23-yard touchdown. His third score of the season was the biggest play of his five-reception, 97-yard game. It made the score 24-14 and the Eagles never challenged after that.

Sherman has fun with Philly’s ‘great fans’ By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

PHILADELPHIA — Last week Richard Sherman got into it with both the 49ers’ sidelines and the San Francisco/Santa Clara crowd with taunting and, uh, playful banter. That resulted in the Seattle Seahawks’ All-Pro cornerback saying he was the target of a glass bottle thrown from the stands after the game. Sherman called 49ers fans “mediocre.” Even though he was bowing and jokingly putting his hand to his ear at the Eagles crowd during the third quarter Sunday, Sherman was far more complimentary of Philadelphia fans. Yes, the same people who of course are renowned for booing

“This,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said, “is the way we want to play.” Arizona also won, 17-14 over Kansas City. So the Seahawks (9-4) remain one game behind the Cardinals atop the NFC West with three regular-season games remaining — including Dec. 21 at Arizona, which Seattle beat 19-3 two weeks ago. Philadelphia, the league’s No. 4 offense at 31.3 points and 416 yards per game coming in, gained just 139 yards on a mere 45 plays. That’s the fewest yards allowed by the Seahawks since Dec. 11, 2005, when San Francisco managed just 118 in a 41-3 loss at Seattle. The 49ers had eight first downs that day; Philadelphia had nine Sunday. Linebacker K.J. Wright said the Seahawks held the Eagles to so many short drives guys on

Sherman had fun yapping back and forth with Maclin. “He was complaining a little bit. I don’t like people who complain,” Sherman said. “We cleared that out of the way early. ... He’s a good competitor, and we had a good, competitive matchup. It was fun.”

you just have to put it behind you and move forward and hopefully it doesn’t happen again.” Coach Pete Carroll was still mystified about the play after the game. “I don’t know how that happened,” Carroll said. “I said, ‘Hey, Jon, you caught a million of (snaps). The next one that’s going to happen. It’ll be 10 years from now — so I don’t have to worry about it.”

Ryan’s drop

Walters inactive

Santa Claus. “They are great fans. ... They are passionate. There’s nothing wrong with it,” he said. “They weren’t saying craziness. They were just being passionate for their team. You appreciate that. It gives you a little extra edge.” Not that the excitable Sherman needs many more of those. On the field, the NFL’s leader with 23 interceptions the last four seasons was primarily assigned to blanket Jeremy Maclin. He did. Philadelphia’s top receiver entered with 71 catches, 1,088 yards and nine touchdowns, the latter third most in the league. Sherman and Seattle limited Maclin to three inconsequential receptions for 21 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown catch on a bubble screen.

Seahawks punter Jon Ryan essentially gave Maclin that touchdown. Facing fourth-and-9 at the Seahawks’ 38-yard line, Ryan took an accurate snap from punt snapper Clint Gresham and simply bobbled it. Swarmed by Eagles defenders, Ryan lost the ball. It was recovered by Philadelphia tight end Zach Ertz at the Seattle 14. “I just dropped it,” Ryan said. “The wind was blocking down there, but it wasn’t an excuse. It was just one of those things that happens. I guess

The Seahawks left Bryan Walters inactive. That made Baldwin the primary punt returner and, in Carroll’s words, put more players in familiar spots on other special-teams units. Baldwin let a couple punts bounce on Carroll’s advisement because of a 20-mile-per-hour wind. That resulted in 10-plus yards of lost field position. “The wind was pretty tricky,” Carroll said. “It hurt us a few yards, but I didn’t care. It was better than forcing the issue.”

defense were complaining they weren’t playing enough. “They would have presented a challenge for us,” Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said, “if we didn’t prepare.” The Seahawks won their third in a row by holding the Eagles (9-4) to the fewest yards Chip Kelly has produced in his headcoaching/offensive-guru career. The previous low was 158 yards, when Kelly’s Oregon Ducks lost at Boise State 19-8 to begin the 2009 college season. Kelly’s Eagles had been averaging 5.7 yards per play. They got 3.1 Sunday. Asked if he could have envisioned that, Kelly said: “Obviously, no. ... They did a hell of a job on defense and played better than us.” Wagner again led the Seahawks with seven tackles. In his third game since his return from a torn ligament and broken bone in his foot the middle linebacker was flying from sideline to sideline with friends in white

and blue. He wasn’t surprised by so thoroughly dominating the Eagles in their home nest. “I expected it, yeah,” Wagner said. “Watching film we could see that we are the fastest defense that they’ve played. “We were just having fun out there, flying around making plays. When we are doing that there aren’t that many teams that can beat us.” The Seahawks have allowed 20 total points and 407 yards combined in consecutive wins over Arizona, San Francisco and Philadelphia. That has the defending Super Bowl champions looking like it’s 2013 again. It’s now six wins in seven games since their 3-3 start. Sherman said the Seahawks “didn’t expect to give up that many points” to the Eagles Sunday, “but some unfortunate series of events led to that.” Indeed, the only Eagles points on a windy, chilly day south of downtown Philadelphia came

after Seahawks punter inexplicably Jon Ryan dropped a snap for a lost fumble at his own 14 in the first quarter, then in the third quarter following a 46-yard return of a kickoff to midfield by Philadelphia’s Josh Huff.. The league leaders in hurry-up and play with an average of more than 68 snaps per game ran just 45 against Seattle. Philadelphia had four three-and-out drives that netted a total of seven yards. “We gave the ball up one time today on a phenomenal hit by their guy, but we are taking care of the ball in great fashion,” Carroll said. “The defense continues to find the football a few times a game, which is huge. When you play the defense that we’re playing — and we ran for 188 yards again — that’s how we play. “It hasn’t been that way all season long. But it has seemed to come together here. We’re going to see if we can ride this.” Then he smiled. “It’s not how you start,” he said. “It’s how you finish.”

t’s funny how quickly the perception of an NFL season can change. On Nov. 16, the Seahawks fell to the Kansas City Chiefs and had a 6-4 record. Their season was hardly over, but at that point the Seahawks were three games behind the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West, and just weren’t playing anything like the team that won the Super Bowl in February. Three weeks later the Seahawks are 9-4, control their destiny in the division, have a very real shot at a first-round bye, if not the NFC’s No. 1 seed, and perhaps most importantly, are back to playing the way they did on their way to a championship last season. Here are five takeaways from another impressive Seahawks victory:

Defense as dominant as ever

There was little doubt Seattle’s defense had turned a corner after holding the Cardinals and 49ers to a total of two field goals over the past two games. But this was still an impressive performance nonetheless considering the Seahawks were facing a team that came into the game averaging 416.2 yards and 31.3 points per game. The Seahawks might have held another team without a touchdown if not for special teams miscues. They bottled up LeSean McCoy, forcing Mark Sanchez to try to beat them with his arm, which he couldn’t. And they held the Eagles to just 139 total yards, the lowest total for a Chip Kelly-coached team at any level of football. It may have been surprising to most to see Chip Kelly’s Eagles held in check, but as safety Earl Thomas put it when talking to reporters after the game, “We expect to dominate every time we step out there.”

Maxwell thriving in dual role

With Jeremy Lane again sidelined with a glute injury, cornerback Byron Maxwell started at his usual spot at right cornerback. But he also played frequently inside in nickel packages, with Tharold Simon then coming in at Maxwell’s usual spot on the outside. Maxwell, who is in the final year of his contract, played very well in both roles, only increasing his already high value in free agency thanks to that versatility. Maxwell’s ability to play inside also lets Simon get on the field, and the second-year corner, who had his first career interception, has played well of late aside from his penchant to rack up penalties.

Baldwin, receivers step up

Time of possession

Special teams not so special

Whether you’re of the belief that Seattle’s receivers aren’t good enough, or that Russell Wilson isn’t trusting them to make plays, it’s impossible to argue that the Seahawks haven’t been getting a ton of production from their receivers this season. On Sunday, and especially in the second half, Wilson did trust his receivers to make plays. And they rewarded that faith by making big catch after big catch. Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, Paul Richardson, Kevin Norwood and Ricardo Lockette combed for 13 catches. Leading the way was Baldwin, who had five catches for 97 yards and a score.

There are two dangers when facing an up-tempo offense like the Eagles. One, the defense can get tired if it can’t get stops and get off the field. And two, if the offense can’t sustain some drives, it puts a potentially tired defense in a bad spot. Neither of these were issues for the Seahawks, who had the ball for 41 minutes, 56 seconds compared to 18:04 for the Eagles. Philadelphia isn’t interested in running time off the clock, but that’s still a staggering imbalance, the result of Seattle’s defense not allowing long drives. Philadelphia never had a possession of more than six plays, and its longest drive covered just 54 yards. Seattle’s offense was a respectable 7 of 16 on third down, including conversions on third-and-15 and third-and-13, and had four possessions of 10 or more plays. The Seahawks had a bad run of special teams play midway through the season. But after seemingly turning a corner in that area, the Seahawks again had a bad day in the third phase of the game. Punter Jon Ryan dropped a snap, giving the Eagles a short field they turned into a touchdown. There were questionable decisions in the punt and kick return games. Paul Richardson might lose his green light to bring the ball out of the end zone after bringing two out from deep and failing to get back to the 20. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com.

UW From page C1

before a home crowd of 6,199. The Huskies remain unbeaten at 7-0, and may now insert a convincing victory over a ranked opponent into their NCAA tournament resume. And given how thoroughly the Huskies buried the Aztecs — whose only previous loss was a 61-59 defeat against the 3rdranked Arizona Wildcats in the championship game of the Maui Invitational — it’s not unreasonable to believe now that March might actually matter again for a UW team that hasn’t been to the tourney since 2011. San Diego State shot just 20.4 percent from the field — 11-of-54 — and only achieved that high of a mark thanks to three garbage-time buckets in the final 2:14. Before that, the Aztecs went more than 11 minutes and 30 seconds without making a field goal. They shot just 16.7 percent in the first half. They made only two of their 15 attempted 3-pointers. They needed 5:34 to make their first field goal of the game. And after cutting UW’s lead to a whopping 12-10 with 9:08 left before halftime, the

Aztecs didn’t make another field-goal until a Dwayne Polee 3-pointer just before the first-half buzzer. In the end, SDSU set a dubious school record for fewest points scored since joining D1 in 1970; the previous low was 38 against Utah in 1999. “They’re a great defensive team, but we also feel like we’re a great defensive team and we wanted to just contest every shot,” said UW point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, who led the Huskies with 15 points, and totaled six rebounds and three assists. “It was great for us to make it difficult on them, and when you’re on the road, it’s even tougher when you’re not making shots.” It never got easier, despite SDSU’s stellar effort on the offensive glass; the Aztecs grabbed 21 offensive boards and outrebounded the Huskies 42-36 overall. But they simply couldn’t put the ball in the hoop, too often driving and forcing shots that drew only iron. Robert Upshaw, UW’s 7-foot center, blocked four shots, including a swat that led to a run-out WilliamsGoss semi-dunk. It was Williams-Goss, the sophomore point guard, who led his team toward separation. He made a 3-pointer to put the Huskies ahead 26-19 with 14:00

to play, then assisted on an Andrew Andrews 3-pointer to give UW a 31-21 advantage less than 1:30 later. Andrews made another 3-pointer with 9:00 to play, pushing UW’s lead to 36-23, and after WilliamsGoss scored a floater and a jumper on consecutive possessions thereafter, the Huskies already had enough points to win. “We weren’t able to make shots, but again, defense is what can sustain you,” Romar said. “And I think that’s another valuable lesson for our guys tonight. Even when you’re playing and the ball’s not going in the basket for you, if you defend, you still give yourself a chance to be successful.” Romar said he envisioned potential greatness when the Huskies began practicing this season. “It was a challenge from day one, and these guys have accepted it,” Romar said. “But I do – I think this could be a special defensive team.” Andrews, who scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds, said the same. Instead, the junior guard said the Huskies wanted to “make a statement for ourselves to get our own little mojo going, that we are a good team and we have what it takes to beat the quote-unquote ‘good teams’ in the media. So, I think that’s what we did.”

Do You HEaR BuT noT unDERSTanD? More than 30 million Americans of all ages are affected by hearing loss — which can range from mild to profound. If you suspect you have hearing loss, take this simple test. YES

q q You can hear, but you can’t understand. Among the first sounds that “disappear” are high‑pitched sounds like women’s and children’s voices, and confusion among words such as “dime” and “time.” q q You are continually asking people to repeat words or phrases, though they feel they are speaking loud enough. q q You find yourself complaining that people are mumbling or slurring their words. q q You have difficulty understanding what’s being said, unless you are facing the speaker. q q You prefer the TV or radio louder than others do. q q You have difficulty understanding conversation within a group of people. If you answered “yes” to at least two of these questions, you may have hearing loss and need to have your hearing tested. Call today to schedule your FREE hearing screening and evaluation.

Do people seem to mumble especially when there is background noise? is your hearing loss due to earwax?
