Hospital’s name to change Trial to The final step in a partnership between tax-supported Valley General and EvergreenHealth is effective March 1. By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

MONROE — Valley General Hospital, whose history dates to the 1890s, will change its name to EvergreenHealth

Monroe in March, the final step in consummating an alliance with Kirkland-based EvergreenHealth. The two organizations first approved a partnership in 2012. The formal alliance between the

two tax-supported, public hospital districts is effective March 1. Bob Malte, chief executive of EvergreenHealth, said one of the reasons his organization was interested in an alliance with the Monroe hospital is that the community is projected to be one of the fastest-growing in the Puget Sound region. Ties between Monroe and

Kirkland have strengthened, he said, and not just due to their physical proximity. Thirty percent of EvergreenHealth’s workforce lives in Snohomish County. In the two years since the two organizations began the partnership, Evergreen has added two primary care physicians to See NAME, Page A8

EVERETT — Jurors won’t hear that a Bothell man accused of killing his estranged wife was called “Creepy Alan” by some of his coworkers at Boeing. Lawyers for Alan Smith, 39, asked a judge Thursday to prohibit any witness from testifying that they considered Smith a strange or socially awkward person. Prosecutors said they weren’t planning to elicit those kinds of descriptions from witnesses. Smith is scheduled to go on trial next month. He is accused of beating his estranged wife, Susann Smith, 37, and drowning her in a bathtub inside her Bothell house in February 2013. Prosecutors allege that Alan Smith meticulously planned the killing and took steps to cover up his involvement. He is charged with first-degree murder. Smith allegedly admitted to an acquaintance that he killed his wife. Prosecutors say Smith’s DNA was found on a washcloth under his wife’s body in the bathtub. Bloody footprints at the scene also allegedly matched the defendant. The Smiths were getting divorced and battling for custody of their two young children. Susann Smith’s body was discovered after she didn’t show up for work. Alan Smith was arrested four months later. The case drew widespread attention in part because of some odd behavior by Smith’s thengirlfriend, Love Thai. She posted photographs and videos to Facebook, documenting developments in the case, including Smith’s arrest. She and Smith did an interview with a Seattle television station prior to the arrest. Thai said in the interview that her boyfriend might be capable of killing his wife. She later posted that she was pregnant with Smith’s child. The pair moved into Smith’s former home about a month after

EVERETT — Out near rural Lake Bosworth, on a wooded lot, a business was launched this year that its owner hopes will gross $1 million per year. If Snohomish County doesn’t shut it down, that is. GreenRush is one of just four legal marijuana growing and processing companies operating in Snohomish County. While more than 80 producer and processor applicants have been approved by the state Liquor Control Board, the

tortuous and bureaucratic path from application to selling product means that only a handful have been able to get up and running under the law created by Initiative 502, approved by voters in 2012. Meantime, political pressure from some neighbors of marijuana businesses prompted the once-welcoming Snohomish County Council to impose a temporary moratorium on new marijuana businesses as of Oct. 1 — so it can “consider these issues thoughtfully,” council Chairman Dave Somers said at the time.

GreenRush opened its doors in September, just in time to avoid the moratorium. Among growers, the worry now is that continued public pressure might lead to revocation of the businesses’ permits, said GreenRush’s owner, a man named Mark. The Herald agreed not to use Mark’s last name out of concern that he could lose his day job if it were known he was a marijuana producer, albeit a legal one. Mark said he sank $220,000 — practically his entire savings — into opening GreenRush. If he can keep it open, the 55-year-old

‘Birdman’ soars with 7 Globe nominations Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — The Golden Globes can be known for its outliers and outlandish choices. But when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Thursday announced nominations for its annual prizes, the group went solidly with the awards mainstream, as films such as “Boyhood,” “Birdman,” “The Imitation Game” and “Selma” all solidified their spots atop

the seasonal heap. “Birdman,” Alejandro G. Inarritu’s dark comedy about a washed-up actor (Michael Keaton) who tries to stage a Broadway play, topped the list with seven nominations, aided in part by its placement in the less crowded comedy categories. Determined by about 90 international correspondents, the Golden Globes are far less reflective of Oscar voters than various

Hollywood guilds, whose members also often vote for Oscars. Still, the attention that a Golden Globe nomination brings can spur forward an awards campaign, as it could for “Selma,” while omissions can stop momentum dead in its tracks, as with “Unbroken,” the Angelina Jolie-directed World War II drama that received no nominations. The Globes will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler from the

Beverly Hilton on Jan. 11 and broadcast on NBC. Among the other big victors Thursday was Richard Linklater’s front-running “Boyhood” — a story about a young man coming of age that was shot over 12 years — which was nominated for five awards, including motion picture-drama and director. The movie has been on a magic-carpet ride since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 11 months ago, landing

atop critics’ lists and defying expectations about production and narrative in the process. “The Imitation Game,” Morten Tyldum’s tale of the WWII codebreaker Alan Turing, also scored five nominations, while Ava DuVernay’s civil rights drama “Selma,” which had been shut out of the short list of the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday, rebounded Thursday with four nominations.

Those slots included picture, director and actordrama for David Oyelowo’s turn in the film as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. On the other end of the spectrum, the announcements seemed to provide crushing blows to the awards hopes for Christopher Nolan’s science-fiction epic “Interstellar” and Clint Eastwood’s Iraq war tale “American Sniper,” in addition to “Unbroken.”

Wind, rain barrel through Snohomish County By Andrew Gobin Herald Writer

EVERETT — The National Weather Service in Seattle was expecting sustained winds of 40 mph in Snohomish County on Thursday night, with power outages likely. The Everett area was predicted to see winds of up to 40 mph, but areas north of Everett, especially near the water, were likely to receive gusts of up to 65 mph, said weather service meteorologist Josh Smith. The heaviest winds were predicted to hit after about 7 p.m. and dissipate by morning. Forecasters said it could be the biggest windstorm since one in 2006 knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of utility customers in Western Washington, some for more than a week. Snohomish County PUD was preparing for power outages Thursday. “We have crews on alert for overnight response,” said PUD spokesman Neil Neroutsos. There were fears that falling debris and downed power lines could block roads. Smith said soggy soil from heavy rains also increased the possibility of toppled trees. Elsewhere in the state, thousands of people lost power Thursday as the storm packing strong winds moved north. In southwest Washington’s Clark County, Clark Public Utilities reported about 36,000 people without power Thursday evening. There were scattered outages elsewhere. The National Weather Service clocked a wind gust of 66 mph registered at Naselle in southwest Washington. In Oregon, high winds blew across the state on Thursday, killing a homeless man hit by a falling tree, damaging Portland buildings and bringing down power lines. Power outages were

reported up and down Western Oregon, hitting the Willamette Valley especially hard. Neroutsos of the PUD suggested simple steps for preparedness in any emergency situation, such as keeping mobile devices fully charged, isolating one room in the home to keep warm, and stocking flashlights and batteries. Heavy rains were expected to spur rivers, though no flooding was predicted. The weather service also warned that the soggy conditions have increased the risk of

landslides. Sounder commuter and special service between Everett and Seattle were canceled through Monday after a slide along the tracks earlier this week. The Snohomish County Sheriff office planned to update road closures and other safety concerns via Twitter at @SnoCoSheriff. For PUD updates or to report power outages and downed power lines, call at 425-283-1001. More information and tips at takewinterbystorm.org This report contains material from The Associated Press.

OSO MUDSLIDE

EdCC team retrieves delicate data damaged in Oso slide By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Property recovered from the Oso mudslide this spring included victims’ personal technology such as flash drives, laptops, camera memory cards and tablets. Many of those items were crushed, covered in mud or soaked with water. A group of Edmonds Community College students volunteered hundreds of hours to recover more than 100,000 digital files, including documents and photos, from the devices. They were led by instructor Steve Hailey in the Information Security and Digital Forensics Program.

The idea came from student Rob Matthews, 41, of Arlington. Matthews grew up in north Snohomish County and is part of the long-term recovery efforts in Oso, he said. He was on break from classes around the time of the March 22 slide. He was trying to think of ways he could help. The students and EdCC leaders, including Dean Elliot Stern, made it happen. Many of the items were damaged beyond repair, Matthews said. “Just a small speck of dust can damage the internal (contents) of a hard drive,” he said. Program graduate Leslie Berntson and student Kyle Derrick spent hours painstakingly

Take a class Edmonds Community College plans a free digital forensics class from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on campus. Anyone can enroll. The class will cover topics including recovering deleted or lost data from damaged hard drives. More info: infosec.edcc.edu/freetraining.html cleaning items before the team could attempt the data recovery. Then the team would use machinery — in a surgically sterile work station at the college — to read the devices, extract data and make a digital copy. They had to be careful. Even a fingerprint in the wrong place on a hard drive can ruin the chances of recovery, said Derrick, who also is a teaching assistant. Everything they recovered

was kept in a locked safe, Matthews said. He personally ferried items between campus and the property reunification center in Everett. Whenever possible, the EdCC team avoided looking at the victims’ photos and files, even as they searched for clues to identify the owners of particular devices. They wanted to be helpful and also respectful. Local companies, including

the Lynnwood Costco, donated new devices to hold the recovered files when they were given back to victims. Others on the EdCC team, including students and staff, were Donna Robeck, Braden Heil, David Angell, Quincy Powell and Richard Leickly. Hailey estimates the team worked as many as 600 hours altogether. A professional data-recovery company likely would have charged up to $70,000 for the same scope of work, he said. “Nobody is doing this for a grade,” Matthews said. “We put a lot of hours and time and a lot of heart into it. Just giving back something these people have lost is rewarding.”

Last year, the club raised nearly $2,000 for secret Santa purchases. Remington said he has visited Denney Juvenile Justice Center, the Snohomish County Jail and the Monroe Correctional Complex to speak on panels about recovery from substance abuse. On Christmas Eve, he plans to be part of a group visiting the Monroe prison’s Minimum Security Unit. “That’s part of being a member of this club, actively working the 12 steps and being of service,” he said. “There may be somebody I could run into and help.” Remington, who lives in Everett and runs a painting business, said it wasn’t until he was sober that he really became a biker. “Before, I was always so broke because of my addiction, I couldn’t afford motorcycle payments,” he said.

Toy drive The Everett chapter of Unchained Brotherhood, a clean-and-sober motorcycle club, will hold a toy drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Kmart, 9623 State Ave., Marysville.

A biker Santa will be there for free pictures. Information: www.unchainedbrotherhood.org Good works are part of recovery. Before turning away from drugs or alcohol, “we took from society,” Remington said. “Part of our recovery is to be of service. These are our indirect amends. We’re glad to do it, and we have a great time.” And that nickname? “It’s an old story. Let’s just say I used to be dirty-rotten,” he said.

Rock carving depicts Quileute tribal battle legend By Joseph O’Sullivan The Seattle Times

FORKS — There hadn’t been any good fishing on the Calawah River the day last December when Erik Wasankari and his son, Reid, found the rock. It was a damp, cold day when the pair, on their lunch break, saw the rock and walked into the river, which was running shallow, to inspect it. It was big — about 2 feet in diameter, with a domelike top filled with grooves and small depressions. Reid scraped off some moss so they could see it better. All Wasankari could make out were “just some triangles and rectangles and shapes,” but he realized they had found something special. “The symbols that we saw were too unique,” said Wasankari, 44, a contractor who grew up in the area and now lives in Gig Harbor. The rock they stumbled upon appears to be a carving that depicts a legendary battle in Quileute mythology, according to tribal and state officials. Chas Woodruff, chairman of the Quileute Nation’s Tribal Council, describes the historic find for the tribe as “the most important, at least in this modern day.” Tribal and state officials, including Woodruff and state Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, gathered Wednesday for a ceremony to celebrate the rock’s discovery. The rock — which could weigh up to 1,000 pounds — had been hauled up to the river bank by a power winch. Standing near it were Lee Stilson and Eugene Jackson. Stilson retired just last week as state lands archaeologist for the state Department of Natural Resources; Jackson is a

Quileute tribal member. The two talked about what they could see on the rock’s surface. Stilson pointed out the head of what is believed to be K’wati, a transformative figure in Quileute

Probe continues into school threats Herald Staff MILL CREEK — Officials continue to review what happened earlier this week after disturbing online posts created controversy at Jackson High School. The posts and subsequent reactions from other students created alarm among some families and led to conversations about how the Everett Public Schools could better handle communication for previous incidents. At the same time, Mill Creek police reviewed the messages and found no credible threat to the school or students. The messages, posted anonymously on Twitter, made vague references to Jackson, in addition to bullying, self-harm and “ruining” people. Other students who saw the posts passed them on, and in the process, added speculation and rumors that fueled the alarm, according to police. The confusion led to about half of Jackson’s students missing

classes Wednesday. Police are still investigating, however, Twitter has not responded to requests for help identifying the original poster, Sgt. Sean Conner said. Additional officers were posted on campus as a precaution. Online threats have become a more emotionally charged topic locally after the Oct. 24 shootings at Marysville Pilchuck High School and other local threats that have led to arrests of young people. The school district notified parents of the threats Wednesday morning, about 12 hours after the rumors were first officially reported. “It would have been ideal if the (notification) could have been sent earlier,” according to a school district news release sent out Wednesday evening. The district on Thursday endorsed a “#KindnessChallenge” campaign on Twitter started by student body president Mitchell Weholt to encourage Jackson students to post positive messages.

Schools want $198M more Associated Press SEATTLE — Washington state universities are banding together to demand $198 million more from the state to help them improve student access to highdemand fields. In a request sent a few days before Gov. Jay Inslee announces his plan for the next two-year budget cycle, the six public colleges and

universities also are asking for another two years without tuition increases. In a statement Thursday, the universities said the state should not meet the needs of K-12 students at the expense of preschool and college students. Gov. Jay Inslee plans to announce his education budget plans on Monday evening at a statewide online town hall.

Sinking street in Seattle is closed Associated Press

SEATTLE — City and state transportation officials closed a street adjacent to the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project in Seattle because

a portion of the road was cracked and sinking. Concerns about structures and the viaduct near Pioneer Square were raised this week when transportation officials reported their monitors detected at least

an inch of settlement near the tunnel-repair access pit. They say the removal of groundwater may have caused the soil to settle. Mayor Ed Murray held a news conference Thursday at First Ave. South and

South King Street site to say the problem is being investigated, but the cause was unknown. Murray also said they don’t have any data to indicate that any of the buildings in the area are at risk.

larger investigation,” Snell wrote in a police bulletin. The man is not suspected of a crime and is not considered a person of interest. He is described as white and in his late 30s or early 40s. He is about 5-foot10 and 180 pounds, with a medium build. He has brown hair described as shorter in front and longer in back.

Monroe: A wider Highway 522 opens Drivers who use Highway 522 near Monroe can expect less congestion

starting next week. Contractor crews plan to open two additional lanes at 5 a.m. Monday. It marks a milestone for the project to widen the road to a four-lane divided highway between Monroe and the Snohomish River bridge. The new Snohomish River bridge and the 164th Street SE roundabout also open Monday. To prepare the roundabout for operation, the westbound Highway 522 ramps will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday. Additionally, 164th Street SE and Main Street will be closed between the existing eastbound roundabout and Fryelands Boulevard from 11 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday. A detour will be in place.

the county moratorium. Mark worries the county might eventually impose a permanent ban on marijuana businesses, which has happened in several jurisdictions around the state, forcing him to close before he has a chance to recoup his investment. “It would be just devastating,” Mark said. “My retirement is gone.” Several Snohomish County marijuana

services in 2011. It also closed an in-patient psychiatric unit. The hospital has battled financial problems for years. Last year, it asked for and received voter approval for a tax increase from 14 cents to 37 cents for each $1,000 of assessed property valuation. Approval of the tax measure “kept the hospital viable,” said Eric Jensen, the hospital’s chief executive, allowing 24-hour trauma services to

continue in the emergency room, adding a pulmonary rehabilitation clinic and providing additional services at its drug and alcohol treatment center. The tax increase also helped provide more financial stability. The hospital, which has an operating budget of $40 million, expects an operating loss of approximately $616,000 by year’s end, Jensen said. Next year, the hospital expects to have a net

profit of $1.1 million, he said. In the spring, Fairfax Hospital in Kirkland is scheduled to open a 34-bed adult psychiatric unit in the hospital. The $2.4 million unit is to offer programs for geriatric patients, dualdiagnosis patients, such as those with addiction and psychiatric problems, and patients either voluntarily or involuntarily hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. More than $1 million in improvements are planned

next year, including a new roof and replacement of some equipment, including a portable X-ray unit. The partnership with Evergreen “stabilizes the whole health care system here,” Jensen said, and provides the opportunity for other speciality services to be added. No money was exchanged for Valley General to join EvergreenHealth. The management agreement lasts 50 years.

The governing board for EvergreenHealth Monroe will consist of two members of the EvergreenHealth board, two from the Monroe board and Malte. The finances of the two organizations will be merged. “Ultimately, the auditors will view us as one entity,” Malte said. The Monroe hospital has 350 full- and part-time employees.

on the lawn. Thai later gave birth and put the child up for adoption. She hanged herself in April. Smith’s lawyer, Caroline Mann, spent part of Thursday’s hearing trying to keep mention of Thai out of the

trial. Thai was flamboyant and her bizarre antics could be prejudicial to Smith, Mann said. The public defender argued that statements Thai made about the case are irrelevant. She didn’t meet Smith until after his

wife’s death and had never met Susann Smith. Superior Court Judge Linda Krese declined to require prosecutors to refer to Love Thai by her birth name, Thai Nguyen. The judge said it would be important to determine

if any prospective jurors recalled publicity about Love Thai before seating a jury. Krese agreed that information about Thai’s pregnancy and suicide won’t be admissable at trial. Krese told lawyers she wants to see the television

interview with Smith and Thai before deciding whether parts of it can be shown to jurors. The trial is expected to span about three weeks. Diana Hefley: 425-3393463; hefley@heraldnet. com. Twitter: @dianahefley.

producers, including GreenRush, have formed the R5 Cooperative and have hired consultants to help push back against the pushback. Land-use consultant Reid Shockey was brought on board after the moratorium was imposed because “they felt like they needed someone who spoke land use to help them,” he said. The R5 Cooperative was named for the county’s R5 zones, where one home is allowed per five acres and agricultural practices are permitted. The group’s intention is to show that marijuana

cultivation under the new law is an agricultural use of the land and therefore allowable on those lots. This week the group won a small victory, said another consultant, Jamie Curtismith, when the county Agricultural Advisory Board asked the Planning Commission to recommend that the County Council overturn the moratorium. “You can’t do that to small-business owners, which is basically pull the rug out from under them in the market,” Curtismith said. The Planning Commission takes up the moratorium question in a public hearing Monday. Opposition to marijuana businesses also has cropped up in the city of Everett, where neighbors have been trying to prevent a retail store from opening on a commercial strip that has residences nearby. A proposed emergency moratorium was voted down two weeks ago, but at Wednesday’s Everett City Council meeting,

Councilwoman Judy Tuohy asked that the city draft an amendment that would include residential housing and churches on the list of building types protected from pot businesses by a 1,000-foot exclusionary radius. Jessica Jordan, an Everett resident, said that the additional restriction would prevent her from opening her planned marijuana retail shop in the Silver Lake neighborhood. “I have every dime in this location,” she said. “Please don’t take this away from me and my family.” From the standpoint of marijuana entrepreneurs, the nature of the permitting process is upside down: The city and the county won’t permit a new business until the Liquor Control Board has approved them, which doesn’t happen until after an applicant has made significant investment in an operation. Out at GreenRush, Mark’s investment has begun to pay off. According to his records, he booked $210,000 in sales in October and November and paid the state nearly $50,000 in taxes. He might break even by March, he said. Visitors have to sign in

and wear a badge, security cameras feed into a multiple-monitor security station, all of the air used for cooling heat lamps is isolated from the growing rooms to keep the odors inside. A German shepherd patrols the grounds and approaches any cars that come up the driveway. Mark had to expand his driveway so fire trucks can turn around, and he installed a sidewalk that is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. He only employs immediate family members and one other person. O Bee Credit Union in Tumwater, established in 1955 for employees of the Olympia Brewery, was one of the few financial institutions willing to accept his money. “I went down there with $135,000 in a backpack,” he said. “What am I going to do? I have a concealedweapons permit, so I had that too. I just tried to do it nonchalantly.” One of his buyers, Casacde Kropz in Arlington, also banks with O Bee and can pay him with a check, he said, reducing the amount of cash he needs in a largely cashbased industry. With the three growing rooms, Mark separates

strains by growing cycle, ensuring about three harvests per month. Every plant is logged with BioTrackTHC, a software package approved by the state. BioTrackTHC records the plants’ stages of growth, their bud yield, THC concentration, and packaging and sales data. The software also allows Mark to pay his taxes to the state directly. “That’s what I like about the recreational market. You can prove what you do,” Mark said. That’s in contrast to the largely unregulated medical marijuana market, which he thinks has fueled the concerns of neighbors and political leaders, leading to the recent grassroots pushback. In a locked storage box, pot ready for sale is bagged and bar-coded for tracking. His carefully managed operation has allowed him to grow a number of strains of marijuana, including variations of “9 Pound Hammer,” each with a color ranging from green to purple and scents from musty to fruity. “This is my favorite,” he said of 9 Pound Hammer, even though he doesn’t smoke marijuana. “It’s the smell and the look!” he said. “It’s just like wine.” Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com.

High court: Agencies must explain records redaction Associated Press OLYMPIA — Washington’s Supreme Court says agencies must give a brief explanation when they decide to withhold or

redact records requested under the Public Records Act. The 5-4 opinion came Thursday in a case involving the city of Lakewood.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Road-use tax considered

OLYMPIA — The state Transportation Commission wants to look into a pay-by-the-mile tax that could replace the gas tax in Washington. The commission voted Tuesday to ask the Legislature to fund a year-long test of a roadusage charge. The Olympian reported consultants said a tax based on miles traveled would be more fair. A tax of about 2 cents a mile would raise about as much as the state’s current gas tax of 37 cents a gallon. Commission executive director Reema Griffith said drivers could be offered a variety of ways to pay: a flat fee for unlimited miles or charges based on odometer readings or measured by a smartphone application or reporting device in the vehicle.

Lacey: Boy, 6, left on bus for 7 hours A school bus driver responsible for leaving a special-needs first-grader on the bus for seven hours in Lacey has been fired. It was a substitute driver who picked up the 6-yearold boy Tuesday afternoon at Lydia Hawk Elementary School. KOMO-TV reported that the boy was supposed to be dropped off at a day care but instead rode the bus to the school district’s transportation yard where the bus was parked for the night. The foster mother assumed the boy’s biological mother had picked him up from the day care. He wasn’t reported missing for hours.

Seattle: Crime ring Police said members of a teen crime ring suspected of recent break-ins at car lots in the Seattle area tried to break into two marijuana dispensaries early Tuesday in Seattle. Police said they broke a window at one dispensary and cut a fence at another. A witness saw them flee in a blue Toyota SUV. Officers stopped the car and arrested six teenage boys who were connected by surveillance video to the pot shop break-ins.

Defendant guilty of traffic shooting A King County Superior Court jury has found a 32-year-old man guilty of first-degree murder in what prosecutors said was a random thrill-killing at a Seattle intersection. The jury returned the verdict Thursday in the case against 32-year-old Dinh Bowman. Bowman claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed Seattle wine steward Yancy Noll in August 2012. Bowman said Noll had thrown a wine bottle into his convertible and hit him on the head. From Herald news services

A man named David Koenig had sought records relating to instances where police officers had been arrested. In its response, the city redacted the driver’s

license numbers of the officers, but failed to explain why it believed that information was exempt from disclosure. Instead, the city told Koenig that the reasons

should be “self-evident.” Writing for the majority, Justice Steven Gonzalez said the question before the court is not whether the driver’s license numbers were appropriately

redacted, but whether Lakewood had a duty to explain the redaction. He said it did. The court said Lakewood must reimburse Koenig’s legal fees.

Architects of U.S. torture Challenges report

Their recommendations: Humiliation, stress positions, confinement, sleep deprivation and waterboarding. Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When the CIA set out to design a program to elicit intelligence from captured terrorists, it turned to two former Air Force psychologists in Spokane with no practical interrogation experience and no specialized knowledge of al-Qaida, according to a Senate investigation released this week. What the two men did have was an understanding of the brutal methods employed on American prisoners of war by governments such as North Korea and Vietnam, methods that were later used to help train U.S. soldiers and airmen to resist torture. The spy agency ended up outsourcing much of its interrogation program to the pair, who formed a company that ultimately was paid $81 million, the Senate report says. The report adds new details to what has long been known about the integral role the two psychologists played in some of the harshest treatment of CIA detainees. The report refers to the men using pseudonyms, Grayson Swigart and Hammond Dunbar. But current and former U.S. officials have identified them as James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen. The CIA told Congress in 1989 that “inhumane physical or psychological techniques are counterproductive because they do not produce intelligence and will probably result in false answers,” the report notes. But Mitchell and Jessen convinced top officials at the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, then run by Cofer Black and Jose Rodriguez, that breaking people was the key to unraveling terror plots. They reverse-engineered the military training techniques, which had never been studied as a form of

Both psychologists helped to question terrorism suspect Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

interrogation. Among their recommendations was humiliation, painful stress positions, confinement, sleep deprivation — and waterboarding. “On the CIA’s behalf, the contract psychologists developed theories of interrogation based on ‘learned helplessness,’ and developed the list of enhanced interrogation techniques that was approved for use against Abu Zubaydah and subsequent CIA detainees,” the Senate report said, referring to the first significant al-Qaida figure captured, taken to a secret prison and subjected to a battery of techniques. The psychologists personally conducted interrogations of Zubaydah and other significant detainees using these techniques. They also evaluated whether detainees’ psychological state allowed for the continued use of the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques.

Some were troubled Some CIA officials were troubled by the conflict of interest, the report notes. One CIA officer emailed that the pair had a “vested interest” in waterboarding. Another accused them of “arrogance and narcissism.” The CIA, in its response to the Senate report, acknowledged that the conflict “raised concerns and prompted deliberation,” leading to a new rule in early 2003 that no contractor could issue a definitive psychological

assessment of a detainee. But the agency defended hiring the two psychologists. “We believe their expertise was so unique that we would have been derelict had we not sought them out when it became clear that CIA would be heading into the uncharted territory of the program,” the agency said. Jessen helped interrogate detainee Gul Rahman at a dungeon-like Afghanistan prison called the Salt Pit, the report says, a session that included “48 hours of sleep deprivation, auditory overload, total darkness, isolation, a cold shower and rough treatment.” A few days later, after Jessen left, Rahman was found dead of hypothermia. Both men helped waterboard 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed, and threatened his children, the report said. Rodriguez, who has criticized the Senate report, said he had nothing to add beyond the account of his 2012 memoir, “Hard Measures,” which says he asked the psychologists to help interrogate Zubaydah days after he was captured — before it was known whether he would cooperate. The Senate report says Zubaydah offered useful intelligence to FBI agents before he was tortured. Black said he never met Mitchell and Jessen, and declined further comment. Reached at his home in Florida, James Mitchell said he could not confirm his involvement with the CIA, citing a secrecy agreement.

But he challenged the Senate report as inaccurate in its assertion that the brutal tactics did not produce unique, otherwise unobtainable intelligence. “I completely understand why the human rights organizations in the United States are upset by the Senate report,” he said. “I would be upset by it too, if it were true.” “What they are asking you to believe is that multiple directors of the CIA and analysts who made their living for years doing this lied to the federal government, or were too stupid to know that the intelligence they were getting wasn’t useful.” The report said Mitchell “had reviewed research on ‘learned helplessness,’ in which individuals might become passive and depressed in response to adverse or uncontrollable events. He theorized that inducing such a state could encourage a detainee to cooperate and provide information.” University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin E.P. Seligman, who has written on “learned helplessness,” said “I am grieved and horrified that good science, which has helped so many people overcome depression, may have been used for such dubious purposes.” Joe Margulies, a Cornell University law professor who unsuccessfully sought to have Mitchell’s Texas psychologist license revoked, said “There’s something particularly vile about misusing a skill that’s meant to help people.” Mitchell asserted, as have former CIA officials who ran the interrogation program, that the current policy of using CIA drones to kill terrorists overseas with Hellfire missiles is more troubling than subjecting them to harsh interrogation measures. “It’s a lot more humane, even if you are going to subject them to harsh techniques, to question them while they are still alive, than it is to kill them and their children and their neighbors with a drone,” he said.

In defense of torture It remains “unknowable” whether conventional questioning alone could have yielded the same intelligence gains, CIA leader says.

WASHINGTON — CIA Director John Brennan on Thursday moved to defend an agency battered by a devastating report released this week on the use of harsh interrogation techniques while acknowledging what he called “abhorrent” methods that were “outside of the bounds” of approved policy.

Reports on police killings

Valuable information

CIA Director John Brennan speaks about U.S. interrogation techniques at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, on Thursday.

from detainees. “This is a welcome change from the CIA’s position in the past that information was obtained as a direct result” of such techniques, she said. She disagreed that it is “unknowable” whether vital intelligence can be obtained through other sources. “The report shows that such information in fact was obtained through other means, both traditional CIA human intelligence and from other agencies,” she said.

528-page report The 528-page document described in searing detail techniques aimed at obtaining information from several dozen detainees held in secret CIA prisons around the world. They included sleep deprivation, slams against cell walls, simulated drowning and stuffing detainees into coffin-sized boxes. The Senate document, an executive summary of a stillclassified report that exceeds 6,000 pages, concluded that such techniques were not effective in cases in which the CIA claimed otherwise, including in the hunt for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Brennan said the agency did obtain useful information from detainees who were subjected to severe interrogation techniques, but he said he could not conclude that it was a direct result of those methods. “For someone to say that there was no intelligence of value ... that came from those detainees once they were

subjected to EITs, I think ... lacks any foundation at all,” he said, using the acronym for enhanced interrogation techniques. Although he was a senior official while the program was ongoing and had visibility into “some of the activities,” he distanced himself from its actions. “I was not in the chain of command. I did not have authority over the implementation of that program, or the management oversight of it,” he said. Brennan, a CIA veteran who was deputy executive director at the time of the attacks, appeared to be trying to bolster an agency under renewed fire without playing down the disclosures in the report. Several hundred employees at the agency have been associated with the interrogation and detention program, with many rising to senior leadership positions — including the chief of the Counterterrorism Center. The agency had fought hard in the months leading up to the report’s release to redact significant details. Declining to say whether he supported the report’s release, even in the name of transparency, Brennan quipped that the “transparency that has happened over the last couple of days” has been “over the top.”

“Flawed” investigation While critical of the Senate report — he called the investigative process “flawed” — Brennan also tried to find some common ground, saying

many aspects of its conclusions “are sound and consistent” with the agency’s prior findings. He said that investigations by the CIA inspector general and internal reviews found fault in the agency’s running of the program, which ended the use of harsh tactics in 2007. The Justice Department has opened several investigations into the program and has decided not to bring any criminal cases. President Barack Obama has said he believes some of the techniques used by the CIA constituted torture and banned them on his second day in office. But he has not supported further criminal investigations into the program. His counterterrorism adviser, Lisa Monaco, said Tuesday that “this is not a time to refight old battles and reopen old debates.” Speaking at a Bloomberg Government conference, she said the point of the report’s release is to “put a period at the end of this chapter and ... move on.” Rights activists said Brennan’s remarks were insufficient. Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that if officials are not held accountable, the same methods could be used again in the future. “The fact that President Obama’s CIA director believes that these methods remain a policy option for the next administration shows why we need a special prosecutor,” he said. “We have to ensure that this never happens again.”

A time capsule from Sam Adams Associated Press

rews removed a time capsule dating back to 1795 on Thursday from the cornerstone of the Massachusetts Statehouse, where historians believe it was originally placed by Revolutionary War luminaries Samuel Adams and Paul Revere among others. The capsule is believed to contain items such as old coins, documents, newspapers and a metal plate that was owned by Revere. Secretary of State William Galvin said some of the items could have deteriorated over time. Officials plan to X-ray the capsule Sunday at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts to get some idea of the contents and possibly details on their condition, then open it next week. Originally made of cowhide, the capsule was believed to have been embedded in the cornerstone when construction on the Capitol began in 1795. Adams was governor of Massachusetts at the time.

House approves U.S. spending bill WASHINGTON — Swapping crisis for compromise, the House narrowly approved $1.1 trillion in government-wide spending Thursday night after President Barack Obama and Republicans joined forces to override Democratic complaints that the bill would also ease bank regulations imposed after the economy’s near-collapse in 2008. The 219-206 vote cleared the way for a final showdown in the Senate on the bill — the last major measure of a two-year Congress far better known for gridlock than for bipartisan achievement. The outbreak of Democratic bickering left Republicans in the unusual position of bystanders rather than participants with the federal government due to run out of funds at midnight.

The Washington Post

In rare televised remarks from the agency’s marble lobby before two dozen senior CIA leaders, Brennan said that valuable information was obtained from detainees subjected to the measures, which included waterboarding and “rectal rehydration.” But, he said, it remains “unknowable” whether conventional questioning alone could have yielded the same intelligence gains. “Let me be clear,” he said in his first public comments since Tuesday’s release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA detention program. “The cause-and-effect relationship between the use of harsh tactics and useful information subsequently provided by the detainee is, in my view, unknowable.” Brennan defended the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” as the “right” response at a time when the agency believed al-Qaida was intent on preparing another wave of terrorism in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But he acknowledged the agency made mistakes, saying its officers were unprepared to conduct such a program and in a limited number of cases used techniques that were not authorized and “rightly should be repudiated by all.” Brennan also acknowledged that the agency “fell short” in holding some officers accountable for their mistakes. But he denied that the agency had “repeatedly, systemically and intentionally” misled top U.S. officials about the program. Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., applauded Brennan’s acknowledgment that the agency has not concluded that the use of harsh tactics “allowed us to obtain useful information”

ACROSS THE U.S.

STEPHAN SAVOIA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

A conservator from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts holds a 200-yearold time capsule removed from the cornerstone of the Statehouse in Boston on Thursday.

The capsule was removed in the mid-19th century and its contents transferred to a copper box, Galvin said. Its removal Thursday was due to an ongoing water project at the building. Galvin said the plan is to return it next year. Pamela Hatchfield, a conservator at the museum, was exhausted Thursday after spending hours chiseling

and drilling on the massive cornerstone, taking care not to damage the capsule or coins that were in the mortar that held it in place. She held up the capsule for public viewing. “It’s heavy,” she said. “I feel happy and relieved and excited and really interested to see what’s in this box.” Hatchfield said state officials

did not know that the time capsule was embedded in the cornerstone until 60 years after some of the nation’s founding political figures put it there. “It was first put in there in 1795 by Paul Revere and Sam Adams and was unearthed accidentally when in 1855 there were some amendments to the building,” Hatchfield said. “They put the contents back into a new box and placed it in a depression in the stone, which is on the underside.” Galvin said there were notes from 1855 indicating that officials washed some of the contents in the capsule with acid before putting them in the new copper box. “Obviously, when we talk about the original box being presided over by then-Gov. Sam Adams, Paul Revere, it’s pretty significant,” he said. “I’m very fond of saying ... that the history of Massachusetts is the history of America, and it’s very true and this is another evidence of that.”

Spurred by the Ferguson shooting and other recent cases of deadly encounters involving police, Congress in its final hours of work for the year passed legislation requiring states to report deaths of people arrested or detained by police to the attorney general. The measure requires states that receive federal aid for crime control, law enforcement assistance and other programs to report on a quarterly basis the death of anyone in police custody. It imposes penalties for states that don’t comply.

SpaceX nears certification Billionaire Elon Musk’s space-exploration company is close to winning the certification it needs to begin launching satellites for the military, according to an Air Force official. If Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX, receives the approval by Dec. 31 it will qualify to be awarded a contract valued at as much as $200 million in competition with United Launch Alliance, the joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing that has been the military’s sole launch provider.

California: Storm hits state A powerful storm churned down the West Coast Thursday, bringing strong gales and much-needed rain and snow that caused widespread blackouts in Northern California and whiteouts in the Sierra Nevada. The brunt of the storm hit the San Francisco Bay Area, flooding freeways, toppling trees and keeping thousands of people home from work and school. “It’s a big storm, as we expected, and it’s headed south with very powerful winds and heavy rainfall,” a National Weather Service meteorologist said.

Kansas: Gay marriages The state has begun issuing genderneutral marriage forms amid ongoing litigation over its same-sex marriage ban. Applicants now fill in information under the heading “Party A” or “Party B” and can select whether they want to be referred to as a bride, groom or spouse. The forms were changed last month after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Kansas’ request to prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying while the state fights a lawsuit. Gay couples have married in some but not all of the state’s 105 counties.

AROUND THE WORLD Poland: New U.S. missiles The defense minister praised longrange missiles the country is buying from the U.S. as the most modern military equipment Poland has ever had. The deal includes the purchase from Lockheed Martin Corp. of 40 air-to-surface missiles, which will be integrated into the Polish air force’s fleet of F-16 fighter jets. The deal for the AGM-158 JASSM-type missiles also includes associated equipment, training and logistical support needed to make them operational. The missiles are scheduled to be operational in 2017.

Belgium: Libya flight ban The European Union on Thursday banned all seven Libyan airlines from operating in the airspace of the 28-nation bloc, citing threats to flight operations while the country is plagued by violent militias battling for dominance. Libyan airfields and aircraft have been targets of recent attacks by Islamist militias and the Libyan air force, and the country’s main international airport in Tripoli has been closed since July due to severe damage.

Unions can use company email Associated Press WASHINGTON — In a victory for unions, the National Labor Relations Board ruled Thursday that employees can use their company email accounts for union organizing and other workplace-related purposes, if they do it on their own time. Once an employer gives an employee access to the company email system, then the business cannot restrict what the employee emails, so long as it is generally workplace-related and isn’t during working hours, the NLRB ruled. The NLRB is a government agency that investigates unfair labor practices. The ruling said that “the use of email as a common form of workplace communications has expanded dramatically in recent

years.” The ruling could give unions a powerful organizing weapon. The three Democrats on the five member board voted “yes,” while the two Republicans abstained. The ruling reverses a 2007 board decision that employees don’t have a legal right to use their employers’ email for union activity or discussing wages or other workplace issues. It also upholds an opinion by the NLRB’s general counsel, who suggested that workers had a presumed statutory right to use company email to discuss a range of workplace issues — so long as they did it on their own time and unless an employer could demonstrate that doing so would hurt productivity or office discipline. The decision was a victory for

the Communications Workers of America, which brought the case in 2012 after it was unable to use company email to organize employees of Purple Communications in Rocklin, California, a company that provides interpreting services for the deaf and hard of hearing. The union contended that prohibiting Purple workers from using company email to organize interfered with its efforts. Bernie Lunzer, president of the Newspaper Guild-CWA and a vice president of the Communications Workers of America, called the ruling “a big victory for workers in general. Basically the board is saying that there is a wide berth for that kind of discussion, that it can’t be prohibited. There are limitations. This is something where people are supposed to be

doing this not on the work time. And they can’t be obstructive to the productivity of the company. But the flat-out prohibition of any discussion of forming a union or acting collectively, basically the board has said that’s fair.” Joel Barras, a lawyer who represents employers in collective bargaining and labor arbitration matters, said that the NLRB in its ruling “once again elevated employee protected activity over employer property rights. Not only will employees now have the ability to use their work emails in their efforts to unionize or discuss terms and conditions of employment with co-workers, an employer’s communication system may also become an incredibly effective tool used to recruit members to form or join class-action cases.”

Airbus Group sought to dispel concern that it may ditch the flagship A380, saying it expects to go ahead with plans to give the superjumbo more efficient engines or even build an ultra-high-capacity stretch version. Fabrice Bregier, who leads the company’s airliner unit, told investors that upgrades of the A380 are just a matter of time, a day after the parent group’s finance chief raised the prospect of discontinuing the plane as soon as 2018. Chief operating officer John Leahy said that travel trends will develop in the A380s favor in coming years, with the development of 71 so-called mega-cities that without recourse to bigger planes would require a doubling in the number of total flights.

But now, Nash says “everyone is putting their own individual spin” on their look.

U.S. retail sales, fueled by motor vehicle sales, rose 5.1 percent in November from a year earlier, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Sales were $449.3 billion, up 0.7 percent from October, the department said. The boost from September to October was revised up to 0.5 percent, from a 0.3 percent increase. November’s growth — the most in eight months — was boosted by a 9.5 percent surge in sales from auto and other motor vehicle dealers. If that category is stripped out, retail sales grew by 0.5 percent — the same as October. Retail sales in November can be a gauge of consumer sentiment and retail performance for the holiday season.

Associated Press NEW YORK — Being a teen can be tough, but catering to one is even more difficult. Teen retailers are learning that lesson the hard way this holiday season. The longtime CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch on Tuesday abruptly retired just a week after the retailer posted an 11.5 percent quarterly sales drop and slashed its annual profit forecast. And American Eagle and Aeropostale gave dismal forecasts for the quarter that includes the holiday shopping season after each posted weak sales for the fall. Teen retailers are facing hohum results at a time when overall U.S. retail sales are up 5.1 percent over the past 12 months, the Commerce Department said Thursday. It’s a major shift for teen retailers. They became popular in the last decade for their logo tees and trendy jeans, which became a high school uniform of sorts. But since the recession, these stores have been losing favor with their core demographic. One reason is technology. Teens are more interested in playing on smartphones than hanging out at the mall where these stores are. They’re also more likely to spend their money on iPhones and other tech

Nearly 20 percent of U.S. consumers — 42.9 million people — have unpaid medical debts, according to a new report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The findings suggest that many Americans are being trapped by debt because they are confused by the notices they get from hospitals and insurance companies about the cost of treatment. As a result, millions of Americans may be surprised to find they are stuck with lower credit scores, making it harder for them to borrow to buy a home or an automobile. On average, a person with only overdue medical debt owes $1,766. More than half of all debt on credit reports stems from medical expenses.

Investors are caught between two conflicting thoughts: the improving U.S. economy, lower energy costs and higher consumer spending are expected to boost profits for many companies. But the recent drop in oil prices, which has accelerated in recent days, has investors worried that earnings for energy companies will suffer. The drop in the price of oil has been a significant reason why stocks on pace to post their first weekly loss in nearly two months. — Associated Press

American Eagle, the mid-priced brand of the three chains, says it’s adding jeans with different washes this holiday season. Meanwhile, Aeropostale, which is at the low-price range with jeans at about $40, is adding everything from cropped metallic tank tops to floral lace leggings. That’s a switch for the retailer, which used to focus on basics like jeans and sweatshirts. Julian Geiger, Aeropostale’s CEO, acknowledged the shift in the way teens shop during a talk with investors last week. But he said the chain has added too many looks in its zeal to chase after fast-fashion chains. “I still believe that while they strive for individuality in many ways, at 14- to 17-years-old, they still want to be accepted by their friends and peers and that there is still a uniform that they wear that makes them cool,” said Geiger, the chain’s former CEO who was rehired in August. For its part, Abercrombie, whose other brands Hollister Co. and Gilly Hicks, has made the biggest changes. The chain, which says it’s hired an executive search firm to find a successor to its CEO, has added

institutions to these kinds of situations, though, have been disappointing. In 2006, three members of the Duke University men’s lacrosse team were accused of raping a black woman who had been paid to dance at a team party. Formal charges were filed, the news media went into high gear and the university president went into high dudgeon. The lacrosse season was cancelled, the coach was fired, and all sorts of hateful things about the young men were said. The woman’s charges were eventually found to be false, the prosecutor was disbarred, and the three young men were declared innocent. The university leaders, however, never apologized for their premature words or actions. In the end, then, the university learned nothing, and its behavior is now apparently becoming the model for academic response. At the University of Virginia a porous report of a rape at a fraternity party was quickly seized upon as an opportunity to lead the torch-carrying villagers. The university president ordered the immediate shutdown of all fraternities and sororities and began campus discussions of the “rape culture” there. Although the report, which had been published in Rolling Stone, now seems to be shaky, the UVA story is still unfolding. The initial response, however, was not promising. Where’s the economics in all this? If our institutions routinely seek

neoprene party dresses and faux fur vests this holiday season. Additionally, it introduced black items — something it had never done before. But perhaps the biggest change customers will see is at the cash register. The retailer, which could easily sell $90 jeans before the recession, is permanently cutting prices across the

changes.” Les Berglass, CEO of an executive recruiting firm that works with retailers, said Abercrombie and other teen chains also need to incorporate more technology so that as soon as customers walk in the store with their smartphones, they can recognize them and help them. “They have to make a product that is more exciting than the iPhone6,” he said. Nash, the Washington, D.C., high school junior, said at least one of the teen retailers is on the right track. She said she’s noticed trendier styles on Abercrombie’s website: “I think I may venture back to the store.”

approval and pander to emotion-driven demonstrations by abandoning our values, our economy is in serious jeopardy. Institutions, and individuals, seem to be responding to a model of reality rather than the reality of the situation itself. That is how an accusation that fits the model becomes more real than the truth that might be revealed later. The more common this response becomes, the more we, and the economy, become slaves to accusations, rumors, gossip, and the worst dimensions of the Internet and social media. When the underlying model is faulty the response is usually faulty, also. Some of those demanding a $15 dollar minimum wage, for example, are relying on a faulty model of our economy: “We can change the rules” that control business and the system. There is an element of truth in the slogan. We can change the rules. But we cannot change the underlying forces which drive economics and business. We can change the rules governing airlines, for example, but we cannot fly from here to Chicago on a bowling ball no matter how many rules we change. Our time-tested values are crucial to individuals and to our institutions. They provide the bond between model and reality that is necessary for survival in today’s world and we need to treat them with respect. James McCusker is a Bothell economist, educator and consultant.

IN OUR VIEW | Everett’s search for a brand-new brand

Back to logo drawing board Logos, emblems, brands: They are important because for many of us they proclaim our interests and allegiances, mostly notably among high schools and sports teams but also for identifications that range from the trivial, say the Ford logo on a cap, to those more closely held beliefs, such as a tattoo of the American flag. With familiarity of a logo comes proclamation and quick recognition of who you work for, who you root for or what you believe in. So we don’t consider the city of Everett’s search for a new logo as trivial or a waste of money. It’s a brand that, carried on city-owned vehicles, websites and letterhead, helps to identify city equipment and employees and convey a sense of authority and responsibility. Many of us remember a

simple but friendly lower-case “e” as Everett’s logo decades ago. The city’s current logo, using wavy bands to suggest mountains and water to form an “E,” was in need of an upgrade, so the city launched a contest calling for submissions and received more than 850 entries. The winner, selected from 65 finalists, was a stylized trapezoid shape with bands that suggested an “E” and were intended to evoke the bow of a ship for Everett’s maritime connection and an airliner’s tail fin in a nod to our aerospace industry. Not everyone

was impressed. Letter writers to The Herald said it looked more like a wedge of cheese or a pup tent upended in the wind. But the design, like that lowercase “e,” was simple, clean and easily identifiable. Which explains why a Chicago-based wealth management company, Envestnet, had already been using it as its brand. There are differences in the two designs but too many similarities for Everett to now use it as its logo. Getting involved in a legal tussle with a wealth management company would make as much sense as attempting to appropriate the Coke logo. The problem with a design that is relatively simple and uncluttered is the possibility that there is already something like it out there.

So it’s back to the drawing board. With 850 entries and, now, 64 “finalists,” Everett shouldn’t need to throw out everything and start from scratch. While the city cautioned those entering the contest not to infringe on the work of other artists, as it selects new finalists the city should check designs against a registry of logos, such as the one at www.trademarkslogos.com. The website’s list is not foolproof; it doesn’t include Envestnet’s logo. But it’s a place to start. A more thorough search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s records might be necessary, as would hiring a trademark attorney. It’s an additional cost, but it could avoid an expensive and embarrassing mistake. Or we could just go back to that friendly little “e.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT

A logo should be self-explanatory Looks like the panel of judges for the logo contest finally came down off their (now legal) marijuana-induced high and are back-pedaling big time to not use the “new” city of Everett logo. I can see them sitting around in a closed room, smoke coming out from under the door, one of the members saying, “Dude, I think I can see a boat bow!” Another saying, “Wait, it looks like an airplane tail … no — an open book! This is the coolest, can I have another hit?” Here’s a little tip; If you have to explain to everyone what the logo is, it doesn’t work. There were plenty of entries that make you think, “This city has an awesome logo, it must be a great place. I want to go check it out” — not some dull boring logo that has no personality. This reminds me of the lousy signs you see when entering the city from the north. These signs don’t even say “Welcome” — just EVERETT in cold blocky letters! Ugh. If the city wants to attract people and businesses, then let’s start by choosing an inviting logo! Brian Diver Everett

■■THE BUZZ

Some topics simply off limits The Buzz on Wednesday morning brought tears to my eyes. Then made me nauseous. And certainly not for the first time. This column that works so hard to find something funny in the world’s tragedies used torture techniques Wednesday morning to get a laugh. It’s sad enough that The Herald’s failing economics means it cannot cover world news with any depth. It’s sad enough that newspaper readership is plummeting. It is pathetic that time is being spent gathering visceral images of horror to share with Snohomish County. For a laugh. Perhaps there are others like me who read the newspaper to be informed about the world, our nation and our neighborhood. We look for clear, factual and professional reporting along with insightful analysis. The country needs help to find a clear path through the muck. Not more muck. Will the adults in the newsroom please stand up and be counted. Dale Preboski Snohomish

■■MIDDLE EAST

Facts missing in recent letter The writer of Tuesday’s letter, “Double standard by U.S. for Israel,” seems to be lacking factual knowledge of current Middle East events. One example is the statement regarding the prime minister wishing to turn Israel into a Jewish state in which Israeli Arabs and Palestinians will be declared noncitizens. For the writer’s education, the fact is that when Israel gained its independence, the Arabs were given a choice of becoming Israeli citizens or retaining their present status. The Palestinians chose to retain their present status and never had Israeli citizenship. The Arabs who chose Israeli citizenship have become members of the Knesset (parliament), officers in the Israeli armed forces, practicing doctors in Israel’s famous hospitals, supreme court judges, and they became the

most educated Arabs in the Middle East, and so on and so forth. On the other hand there is a proposal to deport those who commit physical violence. As far as religious tolerance is concerned, Israel is the only country in that region where Christian religions flourish. As far as supporting Israel with “billions of dollars every year,” the writer might want to compare that with the cost of maintaining our military forces throughout the Middle East and the deaths and sicknesses of our military members in wars to maintain the status of Arab countries, such as Kuwait.

■■OMBUDSMAN

Koster’s work matters most

Who does Sid Schwab think he is talking to? Atramentous, fulmination, objurgation, genii, frigorific, frippery. Assuming this writing is meant to be taken seriously and not as humor, let me say this. I am a product of Everett schools of the 1930s and 1940s. We had 38 kids in class, teachers split, needing to teach both midyear and regular students in the same classroom. Starting first grade cold turkey. No kindergarten. Workbooks we couldn’t write in so they could be used by the next class. My college education prepared me to live, enjoy and respect all our society. My hope is that Sid Schwab finds people to connect with on the same intellectual level. I don’t think he will find a huge audience in The Herald.

Regarding the editorial, “Official’s political work displays lack of discretion”: John Koster and I have very little in common in our views on politics. I consider myself a liberal. I viewed many of his actions as a county councilmember with disdain. I certainly disagree with him on the definition of “patriot.” I will even admit to some amount of glee that he was finally forced out of his position by that favorite child of conservatism — term limits. But ... to penalize a person in anyway for their legal expression of their beliefs on their own time with their own resources is outrageous. This goes against every basic tenet of our system of government. I detected some discomfort in this paper’s editorial, some acknowledgment of his “right to voice his opinion” but you squelched your conscience enough to advocate his removal. Absolutely outrageous! John Koster’s work should be scrutinized. If he shows bias or favoritism that impedes his ability to be a good ombudsman for this county, he should be re-directed or let go. So should any public employee. I have dealt with Mr. Koster in his current role. He impressed me as being honest, hardworking, a good listener. He returned my phone call, for starters, which is more than I can say about our county executive or several others in Planning and Development Services. Based on this, I give Mr. Koster a favorable rating in his job performance. If the day comes when John Koster is shown to let his personal beliefs interfere with his job, fire him. Until then, his political views are none of our business.

■■SID SCHWAB

Word choice just a bit hifalutin

Interrogation, even if flawed, kept U.S. safe

he report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding CIA interrogation essentially accuses the agency under George W. Bush of war criminality. Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein appears to offer some extenuation when she reminds us in the report’s preamble of the shock and “pervasive fear” felt CHARLES after 9/11. It’s a KRAUTHAMMER common theme (often echoed by President Obama): Amid panic and disorientation, we lost our moral compass and made awful judgments. The results are documented in the committee report. They must never happen again. It’s a kind of temporary-insanity defense for the Bush administration. And it is not just condescension but hypocritical nonsense. In the aftermath of 9/11, there was nothing irrational about believing that a second attack was a serious possibility and therefore everything should be done to prevent it. There was nothing morally deranged about deciding as a nation to do everything necessary to find out what we needed to prevent a repetition, or worse. As Feinstein said at the time, “we have to do some things that historically we have not wanted to do to protect ourselves.” Nancy Pelosi, then ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was briefed about the interrogation program, including the so-called torture techniques. As were the other intelligence committee leaders. “We understood what the CIA was doing,” wrote Porter Goss, Pelosi’s chairman on the House committee. “We gave the CIA our bipartisan support; we gave the CIA funding to carry out its activities.” There was no uproar about this open countenancing of torture-by-proxy. Which demonstrates not just the shamelessness of Democrats today denouncing practices to which, at the time and at the very least, they made no objection. It demonstrates also how near-consensual was the idea that our national emergency might require extraordinary measures. This is not to say that in carrying out the program there weren’t abuses, excesses, mismanagement and appalling mistakes (such as the death in custody — unintended but still unforgivable — of two detainees). It is to say that the root-andbranch denunciation of the program as, in principle, unconscionable is not just hypocritical but ahistorical. To make that case, to produce a prosecutorial brief so entirely and relentlessly one-sided, the committee report (written solely by Democrats) excluded any testimony from the people involved and variously accused. None. No interviews, no hearings, no statements. The excuse offered by the committee is that a parallel Justice Department inquiry precluded committee interviews. Rubbish. That inquiry ended in 2012. It’s December 2014. Why didn’t they take testimony in the interval? Moreover, even during the DOJ investigation, the three CIA directors and many other officials were exempt from any restrictions. Why weren’t they interviewed? Answer: So that committee Democrats could make their indictment without contradiction. So they could declare, for example, the whole program to be a failure that yielded no important information — a conclusion denied by practically every major figure involved, including Democrat and former CIA Director Leon Panetta; Obama’s current CIA director, John Brennan; and three other CIA directors (including a Clinton appointee). Perhaps, say the critics, but we’ll never know whether less harsh interrogation would have sufficed. So what was the Bush administration to do? Amid the smoking ruins of Ground Zero, conduct a controlled experiment in gentle interrogation and wait to see if we’d be hit again? A nation attacked is not a laboratory for exquisite moral experiments. It’s a trust to be protected, by whatever means meet and fit the threat. Accordingly, under the direction of the Bush administration and with the acquiescence of congressional leadership, the CIA conducted an uncontrolled experiment. It did everything it could, sometimes clumsily, sometimes cruelly, indeed, sometimes wrongly. But successfully. They kept us safe.

onda’s 2015 Honda Civic has hit the streets and it’s a lot like the Energizer Bunny: It just keeps going, and going, and going. My tester was the EX-L sedan, but Honda offers a model for everyone with LX, EX, EX-L versions in both coupe and sedan formats. There’s also HF, Si, hybrid and natural gas versions. And, new for this year, a “Special Edition” or SE model that is positioned between the LX and EX. As always, all Civics are stylish, feature-rich, and fun-to-drive. It’s a commuter car that delivers owners far more than four adults to their intended destination. Last year the Civic received significant upgrades including a redesigned coupe exterior, new wheel designs, interior refinements and a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) — all of which were retained. The substantial list of high-value standard features on the 2015 Civic includes a rearview camera with guidelines, expanded view driver’s mirror and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink. Available features include a seven-inch

touch-screen display audio, HondaLinkTM next-generation connected-car technology, LaneWatch display, and Smart Entry with Push Button start. The EX-L was powered by a 1.8-liter, 16-valve, SOHC, aluminum-alloy i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with state-of-the-art engineering technology to produce an impressive 143 hp, yet it still achieves 39 miles per gallon down the highway and 33 combined city/ highway rating by the EPA. The five-speed automatic transmission was seamless, with paddle shifters at the ready for faux manual shifts. When the object is stopping, not zipping down the road, the Civic responds — quickly. The anti-lock braking

system (ABS) uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup. This helps the driver retain steering control when braking hard. Creature comforts include a 160-watt, six speaker AM/FM/CD/XM satellite radio sound system with USB interface, automatic climate control, cruise control, heated seats, steering wheel controls, center armrest storage console, and large trunk for a smallish car. My tester included a navigation system and rearview camera with three angles to choose from: wide view, normal view and an overhead

view of the rear bumper. Top shelf safety features include vehicle stability assist, which can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power in the event of oversteer or understeer to help regain the driver’s intended path. The system also features a traction control function to help prevent wheel spin during acceleration Another whiz-bang gadget is the side-view mirror camera that activates when the right-turn signal is engaged. The camera provides an expanded view along the right-hand side of the vehicle, completely eliminating the blind spot. Honda once again ups the ante on one of its all-time bestsellers. With legions of repeat buyers, and plenty more about to take the plunge for the first time, this model is destined to just keep going, and going, and going… Q

Reinvading to conquer truck market By FRANK A. AUKOFER AutoWriters Associates

or sure, King Kong looked small standing atop the Empire State Building. But he wasn’t. We get the same impression when first seeing the all-new 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck, which its purveyors describe as “small.” Well, yes, in the current scheme of pickups the new Canyon is classified as a midsize or described as a small pickup truck. But that’s compared to fullsize pickups, which have grown to such gargantuan dimensions that they cannot always fit into garages or shopping center parking spaces. The Canyon comes in two lengths: 17 feet 9 inches and 18 feet 9 inches, with the difference in the length of the cargo box, either 5 feet 2 inches or 6 feet 2 inches. Moreover, these small pickups can haul loads of 1,450 to 1,620 pounds. That’s around three-quarters of a ton, which qualifies them,

in current parlance, as in the same half-ton category as their lightduty, full-size counterparts. It is true small pickup trucks have been on the wane for some time. Until General Motors decided to re-invade the market with the new Canyon and its fraternal brother, the Chevy Colorado, there were only two contenders left: Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. Though largely unchanged for nearly a decade, they have not been doing poorly. The Tacoma is on a pace to achieve sales of 150,000 in 2014. The Frontier is running at an annual rate of more than 72,000. GM researchers say there are 12.5 million midsize pickups still plying U.S. roadways, including some old Ford Rangers and Dodge Dakotas. So the thought at GM is now is a prime opportunity to surprise and delight those jaded buyers, as well as customers who don’t cotton to how big the fullsize trucks have become. The Chevy Colorado, like

its full-size sibling Silverado, is expected to be the volume leader. The GMC Canyon, like the bigger GMC Sierra, will go after customers who want something more premium. Thus, it is that the tested Canyon Extended Cab SLE model had a $1,425 higher starting price than its Colorado LT counterpart. The difference shows up mainly in interior materials and trim. There are three versions: Extended Cab, which has a 6-foot 2-inch cargo box, two small rear opening back doors and a couple of chimpanzee-size back seats; the Crew Cab four door with the 5-foot 2-inch cargo box, and the Crew Cab with the 6-foot 2-inch cargo box. The tested Extended Cab, available in rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive, is powered by a either a 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 191 lb.-ft. of torque, or a 305-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 with 269 lb.-ft. of torque. A base 2WD four-banger can be equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox or a

engine. The tester was empty and there was no opportunity to drive it with a load. The truck is rated to haul 1,450 pounds and tow up to 3,500 pounds. The electric power steering was direct and responsive, and the suspension system, though it delivered a typically choppy pickup ride, did not unsettle the chassis on rough roads. The interior was commendably quiet. Combined with supportive and comfortable cloth seats, the Canyon would be a friendly companion on a long trip. Crank up the XM satellite radio, set the cruise control and relax. A short time with the new Canyon converts skepticism into optimism for its prospects.

six-speed automatic transmission. All others, including the V-6 Crew Cabs with 2WD or 4WD, get the sixspeed automatic. Though you can easily approach a $40,000 price tag with a highly optioned Canyon Crew Cab, the tested SLE Extended Cab had a starting price of $27,520 with the six-speed automatic. A few options, including a spray in bed liner and dealer installed running boards, brought the price up to $29,170. The fixed running boards — there are two types — could pose some problems. Though welcome for ease of entry and exit, they stick out about 4 inches on each side of the truck, basically making it 8 inches wider down where you can’t see or account for them when parking or doing other maneuvers.

2015 Camry:

Toyota’s No-Fail Formula

By FRANK A. AUKOFER AutoWriters Associates

or 2015, Toyota’s Camry is subjected to a substantial dose of upgrades and features — even though it is in the middle of its four-year model cycle, when manufacturers usually freshen a car with minor trim and sheet metal changes. Everything visible on the Camry, except for the roof and glass sunroof, has been redesigned. Underneath, the engines and transmissions are carried over, but the 2015 Camry now carries 2,000 new or redesigned parts, Toyota says. Overall, the changes are not the sort that attract attention. Rubber-necking by pedestrians is almost nil. But when Toyota’s selling upward of 400,000 models a year, the company doesn’t want to mess much with its successful Camry formula. In the last dozen years, Toyota customers have bought 10.2 million Camry sedans (and occasionally wagons), and 6.6 million of them are still on American roads, according to the company. Currently, all of them are built in the U.S., with 75 percent of the content from North America. The Camry recipe remains as it always has been: a durable and reliable midsize family sedan, inoffensive with modest and pleasant styling, decent fuel economy and performance, and all-day comfort. Four versions are offered: LE, XLE, SE and XSE, with four-cylinder or V-6 engines, as well as a hybrid, which comes

in LE, SE and XLE trim levels. The base LE has a starting price of $23,795 and the prices, including options, go up from there. Versions with an L designation are tuned for comfort; those with an S, including the hybrid, are set up for a more sporting feel and are easily identified by a massive black mesh grille. Other Camry models carry the traditional horizontal five-bar grille. The drivetrains include the 200-horsepower hybrid that combines a 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine with an electric motor mated to an electronic continuously variable transmission. Others are powered by the buyer’s choice of either with a 178-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6. Non-hybrid models are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift paddles on the steering wheel. This review focuses on the four-cylinder XLE, with a starting price of $26,975. That includes such items as automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and Toyota’s Entune multi-media system. A long list of options bumped the price up to $33,448. The Camry XLE is the luxury/ comfort sedan with a look and driving feel not unlike that of its more expensive sibling, the Lexus ES. The XLE is a cocoon of comfort and serenity: The interior is quiet, with little intrusion of wind, road, or mechanical noise, thanks to additional welds in

the body structure and insulation in the carpeting. Among the new items on the 2015 XLE model are a smartphone wireless charging pad installed in the console. It requires an attachment on the phone to do its work, but it might be too small to accommodate some of today’s larger smartphones. However, there’s also a USB port for wired charging. The XLE also has such modern safety devices as pre-collision warning, a rear camera with cross traffic alert, blind spot warning, and adaptive cruise control. However, the last is not an optimum design; it turns off when the car reaches less than 20 mph. Other systems will bring the car to a stop and resume when the car ahead moves off. Should the XLE’s comfort setting not be what you are looking for, any of the S models inject some extra sharpness and control with only a slight degradation of ride quality. The engineers took a bit of play out of the front differential to improve the handling and straight-line tracking. Camry S models also benefit from additional suspension tuning and shock absorbers with internal valve modifications that soften the ride on harsh surfaces and stiffen it during driving on curving roads. Camry offers all this without a price penalty: The XSE’s starting price is identical to that of the tested XLE. Though the XSE would not be regarded as an all-out sports sedan, it is the preference here for the crisper handling.

LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The project site is located at 1625 Madison Way, Lynnwood, Washington, in unincorporated Snohomi s h C o u n t y.

This determination assumes compliance with State law and Snohomish County (as the permitting jurisdiction) ordinances related to general environmental protection. Issuance of this threshold determination does not constitute approval of the permit(s). This proposal will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable Snohomish County codes, which regulate development activities. This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is available to the public upon request. It is the policy of the District that, when undertaking an action involving the exercise of substantive SEPA authority, the District shall consider, as appropriate under the circumstances, the ramifications of such action as to one or more of the factors listed in Mukilteo School District Policy 9280, Substantive Authority. This Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance is issued with the following conditions: Plants â€˘ The District has requested a landscaping modification from the required 10-foot Type A perimeter parking lot landscape buffer along the southeast parking lot.

If this request is approved, the District will provide landscaping as outlined in the approval by Snohomish County. Water â€˘ The District is requesting a variance from a drainage requirement. The variance is related to the requirement of SCC 30.23.110(21), this code section requires, Stormwater Facilities. (a) Buildings shall be set back an unobstructed 15 feet from the top of the bank of an open constructed channel or an open detention or retention pond to allow access by maintenance equipment. The District is requesting that the 15-foot setback not apply in this case. The proposed constructed channel feature between the main building and classroom suites is primarily a landscape feature intended for educational purposes. If this request is approved, the District will provide the constructed channel as approved by Snohomish County. Transportation â€˘ The District did request an EDDS Deviation for EDDS 3-050, to revise the curb location along the school frontage on Madison Way from 23 feet to 14 feet from the right-of-way centerline. On November 6, 2014, Snohomish County approved the Deviation. The District will install the improvements consistent with the approved Deviation issued by Snohomish County. This MDNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the published date below. Comments must be submitted by December 29, 2014 to the Responsible Official as named below.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Donâ€™t falter now. You have to make things happen. Initiate the changes that will help you do and be your very best. There is little time for rest this year. Get into the fast lane and present and promote all the ideas and alternatives you have to offer. Your numbers are 5, 12, 22, 30, 36, 39, 43. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Build strong alliances with key people and use your expertise to outdo whoever wants to challenge you. Speak openly, and you will impress someone looking for exactly what you have to offer. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Discretion will be key when it comes to your comings and goings. Arguments will erupt if you are too vocal, leaving you in a precarious position and behind schedule. Inward focus and self-sufficiency will be key if you want to advance. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Give more thought to the relationships you have with others. You can learn through sharing, but if you choose to let past emotional issues come between you and your aspirations, all will be lost. ďż˝ďż˝ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Claim whatâ€™s yours and donâ€™t look back. Take an unusual approach to what you want, using past experience and unorthodox methods to outsmart anyone chasing close behind you. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Donâ€™t allow limitations and frustrations caused by others to slow you down. Initiate change with precision and determination. Take the role of a leader and delegate work to those you feel

can help you reach your goals. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take a moment to consider how you will be affected mentally, emotionally and financially before you agree to something someone is trying to force on you. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make travel plans or enjoy getting together with friends. The information you pick up will help you make a personal choice regarding someone you have worked with or dated in the past. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Go over your past accomplishments and incorporate them into your resume. Beefing up your image will help push you into the running for a key position that allows you to make your mark. ďż˝ďż˝ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will have big ideas and the energy and wherewithal to turn your dreams into a reality. Someone may try to dismantle your plans unscrupulously, so be on guard and protect your position. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rapid change will have disadvantages. If you feel uncomfortable, itâ€™s best to take a pass. Hidden information is apparent and can upset a deal you are counting on. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for the perfect position, or make a point of partnering with someone who can complement what you have to offer. A change in the way you earn your living looks not only beneficial but interesting as well. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your actions will speak for you and determine how far youâ€™ll get. Put more into your creative planning and you will impress onlookers. ďż˝ďż˝ďż˝ Universal Uclick

Mariners ponder much, do little at Winter Meetings By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SAN DIEGO — The Winter Meetings, as often happens, closed Thursday in a flurry of major deals and free-agent signings that resonated throughout Major League Baseball. The Mariners, though, returned

home with their roster unchanged beyond the selection of lefthanded pitcher David Rollins from Houston in the Rule 5 Draft. Which means ... what? There is a feeling, M’s general manager Jack Zduriencik said, that “it’s all going to happen at the Winter Meetings. But that isn’t the case.”

“Sometimes, it’s better to get away from here,” he said. “Get back and let the dust settle. You’ve had all of these discussions. The one thing you realize when you’re here, is there are a lot of discussions. They follow one another. “There are so many things that get thrown out there. ... And it’s

like, wait a minute. We like some of these ideas, but we just need to back off a little bit. We’re in the middle of December.” The Mariners did much of their heavy lifting before arriving at the Manchester Grand Hyatt by signing free-agent outfielder Nelson Cruz and acquiring left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ from Toronto in

a trade. That ticked the first two items on their wish checklist. They remain interested in acquiring another bat, preferably a right-handed hitter who can play right field. They also need a replacement for left reliever Joe Beimel — hence the selection of Rollins. See MARINERS, Page C4

EVERETT — It wasn’t so long ago that when the Everett Silvertips went to a shootout, the only question was whether the Tips would lose in three rounds, or whether the opponent would need just two to finish Everett off. Austin Lotz is almost singlehandedly flipping that equation around.

TONIGHT’S GAME

Prince George at Everett, 7:35 p.m. Radio: KRKO (1380 AM)

The Tips’ goaltender turned in yet another difference-making performance in Tuesday’s shootout victory against Tri-City

in Kennewick, and Lotz’s dominating efforts in shootouts are earning Everett points that could prove vital in the big picture. “He’s been fantastic, he can’t be much better,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine said about Lotz’s recent shootout performances. “If you add up the stats from the last three he’s been remarkably good.” See LOTZ, Page C2

UW center Robert Upshaw issues them often as he works his way toward setting the Huskies’ record of blocked shots in a single season. By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Barring serious injury or other misfortune, Robert Upshaw will finish the 2014-15 basketball season as the most prolific shot-blocker in Washington Huskies single-season history. And if the 7-foot third-year sophomore maintains his current pace, the existing record-holders will be distant runners-up. Upshaw is swatting shots at a historic pace by UW standards, tallying 33 blocks in the Huskies’ first seven games. That’s an average of 4.7 per game, and includes a game in which Upshaw fouled out after playing just eight minutes. His block totals in UW’s other six games, in order: 7, 7, 8, 5, 2, 4. So with 23 regular-season games left to play — many of those against better competition, granted — it seems almost a foregone conclusion that Upshaw, who transferred from Fresno State, will shatter the UW single-season

record of 67, held by Chris Welp (198586) and David Dixon (2001-02). And if you really want to get ahead of yourself, the Pacific-12 Conference single-season blocks record is 133, set last season by former Arizona State center Jordan Bachynski. Despite his record pace, Upshaw expresses dissatisfaction with his early accomplishments. “I expected to be a lot better,” he said last week, before UW’s 49-36 stomping of 13th-ranked San Diego State. “I feel like I’ve had a little drop-off between the Pacific game and the UTEP game, kind of getting out of position. Just like Coach (Lorenzo) Romar said, it’s just about being in the right spot, being in the right places, and I think I’ve made some mistakes. But I feel like I can get better with them and learn from them, and be a lot better than I am now.” That’s a frightening thought for future Huskies opponents. The Huskies are newly-ranked — 17th in both

RENTON — San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore was trying to describe why his team struggled so much to move the ball against the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving when he came up with a pretty simple, albeit R-rated, explanation. “No. 54, Bobby, he’s (expletive) fast as (expletive), man,” Gore said on a conference call with Seattle-area media. Of course, No. 54 would be linebacker Bobby Wagner, who isn’t just the man in the middle of Seattle’s defense, but also the man in the middle of an impressive defensive turnaround. It would be oversimplifying things to say that the Seahawks’ defense turned a corner just because Wagner returned from a five-game absence, but it’s also impossible to ignore how much he means to Seat- Bobby Wagner tle’s defense. Two of Seattle’s The Seahawks worst defensive linebacker, recently back performances this from injury, season were the “plays such home loss to Dal- an instinctual las, in which the game,” says Cowboys gained teammate 401 yards, and Richard the loss in Kansas Sherman, who City that saw the added Wagner Chiefs rush for 190 has “immense yards, the most by talent and a Seahawks oppo- speed that nent this season. ... makes for Wagner was a fantastic hurt in the Dallas football player.” game, and while he eventually returned to finish the contest, he missed part of it and was playing with a torn ligament in his toe and a broken bone in his foot when he did return for the second half. The Kansas City loss came during Wagner’s absence. Wagner returned from a turf toe injury for Seattle’s victory over Arizona, and in that game and the following two victories, the Seahawks held the Cardinals, 49ers and Eagles to season lows both in yards and points. “He’s the heart of the defense,” cornerback Richard Sherman said of Wagner. “... He cleans up a lot of mistakes made by guys, and other guys clean up mistakes like Earl (Thomas) and Kam (Chancellor). We got a lot guys who are erasers out there, and he has such an instinctual game. He believes what he sees, he plays what he sees on top of the immense talent and speed that he has that he makes for a fantastic football player that I hope everybody recognizes.” Or as defensive end Michael Bennett put it, “Him coming back has really changed our defense.” See WAGNER, Page C5

SILVERTIPS | Update

Lotz turned aside all six attempts he faced in Tuesday’s game, setting up Carson Stadnyk to win the shootout and give Everett a 4-3 victory. That kind of shootout performance is becoming routine for Lotz. In his past three shootouts, Lotz denied 25 of the 26 attempts he’s faced. That includes his 14-for15 performance on Nov. 15 against Kamloops in the longest shootout in Western Hockey League history. Lotz’s save percentage in his past three shootouts is 96.1, an astounding number when one considers that every one of those shots was a breakaway. That percentage is 5.5 percent better than his season save percentage during open play (90.6). It’s gotten to the point that when Everett wins a shootout, the players file off the bench and head straight to Lotz for the postgame celebrations, rather than flocking around the scorer of the clinching goal. “I don’t know,” Lotz responded when asked how he’s been so successful in shootouts this season. “Some people have asked me that. It’s a little bit of luck. I’d like to think it’s from lots of practice, but at the same time it’s a little bit of luck.” Add in back-up goaltender Carter Hart’s efforts and Everett is 4-1 in shootouts this season, which places the Tips at the top of the league’s shootout rankings. That lofty ranking might be difficult to believe for those who have been following Everett in recent years. From 2010-13, Everett was by far the worst shootout team in the league. The Tips were an abysmal 4-16 in shootouts in those three seasons. Everett ranked dead last in the league in the shootout rankings in 2012-13 when it finished 1-4 in the tiebreaker, and the Tips were second-to-last in 2010-11 (also 1-4) and 2011-12 (when they were 2-8). Last season, the Tips were better, but nothing special as they went 3-3 in shootouts to rank 12th in the 22-team league. So what’s been the reason for the dramatic turnaround in results? An examination of the numbers reveals that Lotz deserves almost all the credit. Everett has converted seven of its 32 shootout attempts this season for a success rate of 21.9 percent. That’s right in line with the down years — Everett converted 15.4 percent in 2010-11, 21.6 percent in 2011-12 and 21.1 percent in 20-1213. When the attempts from games involving Everett are eliminated, the league is converting at a 31.1-percent clip this season, so the Tips aren’t exactly lighting up the opposing goaltender. The big change has been on the goaltending side. In 2010-11, Everett’s opponents scored on half of their shootout chances (6-for-12). In 2011-12, it was 41.2 percent (14for-34) and in 2012-13 it was 42.1 percent (9-for-19). This season, between Lotz and Hart, the Tips are holding opponents to a minuscule 9.4 success rate. Lotz, who is 19 and in his fourth season with the Tips, was around for two of the team’s dismal shootout campaigns and remembers well the shootout dark days. “It was really frustrating,” Lotz recalled. “When you win a shootout there’s no other feeling, you get the adrenaline pumping in winning by the one goal. When you lose you get bitter and you feel like you should have had a better chance to win the game. Those early years were tough because we weren’t winning much. But it’s definitely nice that we’ve got a couple shootout wins in now.” Lotz seems to have gotten better with experience. In the previous three seasons, he stopped 70.3 percent of opposing shootout attempts. “I think your timing gets a little better (over the years),” Lotz added.

“When you’re a young guy you might be a little too aggressive or bit too early. As you get older you realize, especially in a shootout, you have to stay calm and get your timing right with the skater coming down. If there’s one thing I’ve been working on, it’s the timing when they’re coming down and shooting.” The team’s extra points gained by winning shootouts could prove vital when the season’s final standings are determined. Last season, Everett lost out on home-ice advantage in its first-round playoff series against Seattle by a single point, and in 201011 and 2011-12 the Tips just snuck into the playoffs by three and two points, respectively. “Over the last month, Portland has been the best team in our division,” said Constantine, whose team is in first-place in the U.S. Division, just three points ahead of the fourtime defending Western Conference champion. “We’re going to have to do a lot of things right to fend them off, if we have a chance at all. At that point every point becomes critical. “Even last year home-ice advantage came down to a shootout in Portland in the last game of the year,” Constantine continued. “If we had won that shootout we would have finished fourth and had home-ice advantage. Who knows if that would have changed things, but it might have. That’s how important one point was last year, so these points are important.” Therefore, should the Tips edge out another team in the standings, they can look back at Lotz’s efforts in shootouts as having made a difference.

Slap shots Everett defenseman Ben Betker, who sat out Tuesday’s game at Tri-City, has a concussion. He will miss this weekend’s home games against Prince George and Tri-City as he goes through the concussion protocol. ... Prince George will be without defenseman Sam Ruopp in Friday’s contest. Ruopp was suspended two games by the league for a kneeing major penalty taken during the Cougars’ 4-3 home victory over Saskatoon on Tuesday.

LYNNWOOD — The Meadowdale boys basketball team forced 22 turnovers and held Everett to single-digit points in three quarters in a dominating 54-26 victory over the Seagulls on Thursday night. “The guys did a great job of buying into the defensive gameplan and really executing as the game went on,” Meadowdale assistant coach Paul Werner said. “As

(the coaches) made adjustments they really clamped down defensively.” Caleb Tingstad scored a game-high 15 points to lead the Mavericks, who out-rebounded the Seagulls 32-18. “(Tingstad) was a senior stepping up and making plays,” Werner said. “He did a great job of recognizing his opportunities and leading us.” Chris Bell scored eight points to lead Everett in the loss.

NEW YORK — Once mumps invades a professional sports dressing room, it finds a fertile breeding ground and the NHL is finding that it is not easy to get rid of. Multiple players on multiple teams from coast to coast have come down with the mumps, an illness more typically associated with children. It started in Anaheim and

plagued the Ducks, who had three players affected. The Minnesota Wild was next, with five victims. Tanner Glass of the New York Rangers then came down with it, and as recently as Wednesday, the New Jersey Devils had two players turn up sick. “It is certainly an outbreak that was unexpected and has caused unwanted disruption at the team level, but it is not something we have any significant control over,” NHL Deputy Commissioner

Bill Daly said. “As long as our clubs are doing what they need to do to minimize risk of contraction, we are hopeful that the wave of cases will run their course and life will return to normal.” The NHL and the players’ association have provided information to teams and players on ways to protect themselves against the mumps. Vaccination decisions for any disease are made by club medical staffs and the players themselves.

Russians sweep figure skating short program

AUTO RACING | Notebook

Harvick selected as Driver of the Year Kyle Busch has surgery

Associated Press

Assovciated Press

BARCELONA, Spain — Elizaveta Tuktamysheva led a Russian teen sweep of the short program at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final on Thursday. The 17-year-old Tuktamysheva earned a top score of 67.52 points, performing to Ravel’s “Bolero.” Julia Lipnitskaia, who is 16, was next with 66.24, followed by Elena Radionova (15) and Anna Pogorilaya (16). Japan’s Rika Hongo was fifth, while American Ashley Wagner had the lowest score of the six finalists with 60.24. In pairs, Canada’s Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford took the lead with the highest score in the short program. The men’s short program and the short ice dance are on Friday, with the free skates on Saturday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.— NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick has been named Driver of the Year by a panel of broadcasters and journalists. Harvick won the final two races of the season to earn his first career Sprint Cup title. He won five races in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing, and it included three in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Harvick received 13 of the 16 votes cast by motorsports journalists who vote for just one driver. IndyCar champion Will Power, Nationwide Series champion Chase Elliott and World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz all received one vote each. The Driver of the Year award is in its 48th season and encompasses all racing series in the United States. There are 17 journalists eligible to vote.

Attorney wants Solo’s case dismissed Associated Press KIRKLAND — Hope Solo’s lawyer is asking the court to dismiss domestic violence charges against the United States women’s goalkeeper. Attorney Todd Maybrown filed his request in Kirkland Municipal Court, claiming that the victims in the case have not allowed depositions that were granted the defense. Solo was charged with two misdemeanor counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault following an altercation with her half-sister and nephew at a party in June. Solo has pleaded not guilty. She claims in court documents that she was defending herself against her 17-year-old nephew, who is 6-foot-9 and weighs 280 pounds. Solo’s relatives have claimed she attacked first.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch underwent successful surgery on his left foot Thursday at a Charlotte, North Carolina hospital. The surgery was to relieve recurring inflammation in Busch’s foot. Joe Gibbs Racing said in a statement the procedure was done by Dr. Robert Anderson of OrthoCarolina. Busch is expected to recover in time for the start of the 2015 season, which opens at Daytona International Speedway in February. Busch is entering his 11th full season in the Sprint Cup Series. He finished 10th in the championship standings this season with just one victory. JGR shuffled its crew chiefs last week and Busch will be paired with Adam Stevens, who guided him to seven wins this year in the Nationwide Series.

Ganassi, Scott to field Xfinity entry CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chip Ganassi and Harry Scott Jr. have teamed up to field one car in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series next season. The entry will be run by Chip Ganassi Racing and

will race under the name HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi. The No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro will be shared by Kyle Larson, the reigning Sprint Cup Series rookie of the year, and Dylan Kwasniewski, who just finished his first season in NASCAR’s second-tier series. Mike Shiplett will crew chief. Shiplett has been a crew chief and a car chief at Richard Petty Motorsports, Turner Scott Motorsports and Gillett Evernham Motorsports. Ganassi fielded Xfinity cars from 2004 through 2008 and won six races. Scott was previously a partner in Turner Scott Motorsports. “We have had a great relationship with Harry over the past couple of years and bringing this program into our shop is something that we feel benefits both teams,” Ganassi said. “We feel that our expertise on both the competition and the business side can help grow the program both on and off the track.” Scott, who fields one Sprint Cup Series car, also announced Thursday he has partnered with Justin Marks to form a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East team.

British team a lineup of former champions at the start of its restored partnership with Honda. Danish driver Kevin Magnussen was dropped after one season and will be the team’s test and reserve driver. Alonso’s departure from Ferrari after five seasons and return to his former team was widely expected. The Spanish driver, a two-time champion, had already been replaced at Ferrari by four-time champion Sebastian Vettel. Alonso said McLaren’s reunion with the Honda engine — a combination that ruled F1 between 1988-92 — was a key factor in his decision. “Let the legend return: That is our challenge,” Alonso said in a statement. It was a straight choice between Button and Magnussen to be McLaren’s other driver, with the Briton retained after outscoring Magnussen 126-55 in the 2014 season.

Winter meetings end with flurry of deals By Ronald Blum AP Sports Writer

SAN DIEGO — Baseball’s winter meetings ended Thursday with an old-style spurt of swaps, with All-Stars switching teams at a rapid pace and executives scrambling to fill roster voids. Alfredo Simon, Dee Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Montero, Jeff Samardzija, Brandon Moss, Dan Haren and Howie Kendrick were among the All-Stars dealt by the time teams headed home, and Matt Kemp and Jimmy Rollins were on the verge of switching clubs. The Los Angeles and Chicago teams were the epicenter of change, along with the Miami Marlins. Twelve trades involving 44 players were made over the four days, according to Major League Baseball, up from five swaps last year and three in 2012. There hadn’t been this many trades at a winter meetings since 2006. “People are motivated,” Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said. With major-league revenues in the $9 billion range, increased sharing and changes to rules for the amateur draft, more clubs have money to spend and large-market teams are more constrained. The four organizations chasing San Francisco in the NL West all changed their top baseball front-office official since last year’s gathering: Tony La Russa took over at the Diamondbacks, Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers, A. J. Preller with the Padres and Jeff Bridich with the Rockies. Matt Silverman replaced Friedman with the Rays. “People have been very, very aggressive,” Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. “Action starts more quickly, so when you get here, I think you’re prepared to move. Secondly, a lot of free agents started to sign. I think a lot of clubs were open-minded. There’s been some change of regimes that have also contributed to that.” A $155 million, six-year agreement between left-hander Jon Lester and the Cubs late Tuesday night seemed to break a market logjam. In deals announced just before midnight Wednesday, the Dodgers acquired Kendrick from the Angels to play second and worked to obtain Rollins from Philadelphia in a remake of their middle infield. They dealt Gordon, Haren — who is mulling retirement — infielder Miguel Rojas and a player to be named or cash to the Marlins as part of a seven-player trade for left-hander Andrew Heaney, right-hander Chris Hatcher, infielder Enrique Hernandez and catcher Austin Barnes.

The Detroit Tigers acquired outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (above) from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Rick Porcello (left).

The Dodgers then sent Heaney, considered one of baseball’s top pitching prospects, to the Angels for Kendrick. And as dawn broke, the Dodgers had a deal in place to send Kemp and catcher Tim Federowicz down I-5 to San Diego for catcher Yasmani Grandal and two pitchers. The trade was pending physical exams and approval by the commissioner’s office of the $32 million the Dodgers will send the Padres to help offset the $107 million remaining in the final five years of Kemp’s deal. And the Dodgers also worked to complete a $48 million, four-year agreement with pitcher Brandon McCarthy. The Marlins, meanwhile, got pitcher Mat Latos from Cincinnati. Detroit made a pair of trades, sending pitcher Rick Porcello to Boston for Cespedes and two minor leaguers, and then replenishing its rotation with Simon, obtained from Cincinnati for two minor-leaguers. Reds GM Walt Jocketty made that deal in a hotel

hallway — Dombrowski’s room was right near his. Boston also worked to finalize a trade with Arizona for pitcher Wade Miley and a free-agent deal with pitcher Justin Masterson. “There’s obviously been a lot more movement. The pace has quickened, certainly,” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. “As expected, it picked up after Lester.” The Cubs also have a $20 million, two-year deal with right-hander Jason Hammel. And they acquired an All-Star catcher in Montero from Arizona as they try to bring a World Series title to the North Side for the first time since 1908. On the South Side, the White Sox struck a $46 million, four-year deal with closer David Robertson and boosted their rotation by getting Samardzija from Oakland after adding reliever Zach Duke and first baseman Adam LaRoche earlier in the offseason. Other teams in the Central were adding, too. Minnesota and right-hander Ervin Santana worked to finalize a $55 million, four-year agreement, and AL champion Kansas City had a $17 million, two-year deal in place with former Mariner Kendrys Morales. He figures to take over at designated hitter from Billy Butler, who left as a free agent and agreed to a $30 million, three-year deal with Oakland. St. Louis made a deal for free-agent power hitter Mark Reynolds.

“We’ll keep all of our irons in the fire and see where it ends up,” Zduriencik said. “We’ve talked trade, and we’ve talked free agent. We’ll keep the dialogue going.” Even so, some potential targets are now off the board. The Mariners were once close to a deal to acquire outfielder Matt Kemp before talks stalled over the Dodgers’ insistence that either Taijuan Walker or James Paxton be included in the swap. Kemp is now heading to San Diego in a trade for a package built around catcher Yasmani Grandal. The Mariners never showed much interest in outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, and he is now bound for Detroit in a deal that returned pitcher Rick Porcello to Boston. The best remaining free-agent outfielder is switch-hitter Melky Cabrera — and many in the industry believe he will sign with the Mariners. That might happen, but Cabrera, 30, is seeking a five-year deal believed to be in the $60 million range, while the M’s appear unwilling to move beyond three years. Seattle also is unlikely to offer Cabrera a higher annual salary than what Cruz received — $14 million over each of the next four years. If so, that means a three-year offer to Cabrera at $42 million. The impasse hinges on whether Cabrera can get a bigger offer elsewhere. So far, no club appears willing to go beyond three years. The M’s, meanwhile, signaled a growing willingness in recent days to look at second-tier possibilities. “The high-profile, upperechelon dollars, we’re not going to be in that market,” Zduriencik said, “It’s just

not going to happen. But I do think we have room to make a move that will help the club.” Club officials now downplay reports of renewed interest in Chicago White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo, whom they asked about in the past, but continue to see free-agent Alex Rios as a bounce-back candidate. The snag with Rios is his agent, Scott Boras, who appears to think Rios will benefit by waiting until the market settles. At that point, if the strategy works, clubs that need an outfielder will push the bidding higher. The M’s remain interested in Atlanta outfielder Justin Upton but not at the Braves’ asking price. They also appear cool, at this point, to Washington’s efforts to trade shortstop Ian Desmond. Upton and Desmond would be oneyear rentals since each will be a free agent after next season — and pricey oneyear rentals: Upton at $14.5 million, and Desmond at $11 million. Sources say the Mariners have some interest in outfielder Seth Smith, who could be available from San Diego following the deal that sent Kemp to the Padres. Smith, a 32-yearold left-handed hitter, is under contract for $12.75 million over the next two years with a club option for 2017 at $7 million. He batted .266 last season with 12 homers and 48 RBI in 136 games. Club officials also are toying with the idea of converting shortstop Brad Miller, also a left-handed hitter, into an outfielder if they fail to fill to hole through a trade or a freeagent signing. “We’d still like to have one more bat in the lineup, one quality bat,” manager Lloyd McClendon acknowledged. “Whether it’s a right-hander or a lefthander doesn’t make a difference.”

SAN DIEGO — Score one for persistence. The Seattle Mariners tried twice to acquire lefthanded pitcher David Rollins before finally landing him Thursday from Houston in the Rule 5 Draft. Rollins, 24, was 3-4 with a 3.81 earned-run average last season at Double-A Corpus Christi in the Astros’ system and projects as a candidate to fill the Mariners’ need for a lefty reliever. “He’s got a pretty good fastball,” Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said. “It’s 94-95 (mph). We think he’s got a breaking ball, and he’s got velocity. He’s a tough kid. We have a history with him.” The Mariners selected Rollins in the 23rd round of the 2009 draft and in the 46th round of the 2010 draft. Each time, he chose to remain in college. Rollins finally signed when picked by Toronto in the 24th round of the 2011 draft. He was traded to Houston in 2012. Players selected in the Rule 5 Draft cost $50,000 and must remain on an active major-league roster for an entire season. They must be offered back to their former club for $25,000 before they can be sent to the minors. “Our thought is this is a good arm,” Zduriencik said. “When you look at the chances of a guy sticking in the Rule 5, your odds of sticking are better as a pitcher. And a left-hander, it even increases the odds a little bit.” While the Mariners haven’t ruled out efforts to re-sign Joe Beimel, they now have three candidates on their 40-man roster lined up to compete for his job as the bullpen’s situational lefty: Lucas Luetge, Edgar Olmos and Rollins. The Mariners did not lose any players in any phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

Morales to Royals Kendrys Morales finally landed his long-coveted, multi-year contract when he agreed to a two-year deal with Kansas City for $17 million. Performance bonuses could boost the value each year by another $750,000. Morales, 31, rejected a qualifying offer of $14.3 million from the Mariners after the 2013 season but didn’t sign as a free agent until June 8, when he agreed to a one-year deal with Minnesota for $7.41 million. The Mariners reacquired Morales on July 24 in a trade for reliever Stephen Pryor. Morales batted just .218 in 98 games for the Twins and Mariners with eight homers and 42 RBI.

Mariota big winner at awards show

COLLEGE | Notebook

Wisconsin AD will coach Badgers in bowl

Associated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Marcus Mariota put up nearly flawless numbers this season in leading Oregon to a spot in the first College Football Playoff. At the College Football Awards Show on Thursday night, he went a perfect 3 for 3. Mariota opened the night by winning the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award, and closed it by claiming the Maxwell Award, given to the college player of the year. In a separate announcement he also was selected the Walter Camp National Player of the Year. “It’s surreal. It’s surreal. It really all is,” Mariota said. “Growing up as a kid you always kind of see these award shows. To say that I’m a part of really this fraternity ... it’s really just a blessing.” Already considered the frontrunner to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, he now hopes to become the first player to win the Maxwell Award and Heisman in the same season since Auburn quarterback Cam Newton in 2010. Some recent history is on Mariota’s side. Four straight winners of the Davey O’Brien award have gone on to win the Heisman. “That’s the first time I’ve heard of (that trend),” he said. “I don’t know how to explain it. It’s pretty cool and we’ll see what happens.” Both of the other Heisman finalists who will join Mariota in New York also left with hardware Thursday night. Amari Cooper became the first Alabama player to win the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s outstanding receiver. Melvin Gordon became the third Wisconsin player to win the Doak Walker Award given to the top running back in the country. Gordon said Wednesday he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. He said he thinks he already has accomplished what he set out to do this year. “I think I did,” Gordon said. “Part of the reason I came back was to prove I was a better player. I felt I did that. There were some things I didn’t achieve. But I put us in a position for those goals. But I did come back to be a better player and show I was one of the best running backs in the nation.” Other award winners Thursday were: Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright (Bednarik Award for defensive player of the year), Maryland’s Brad Craddock (Lou Groza Award for nation’s outstanding kicker), Utah’s Tom Hackett (Ray Guy Award for punter of the year), Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff (Outland Trophy for outstanding interior lineman), and Louisville’s Gerod Holliman (Jim Thorpe Award for nation’s best defensive back). Three other awards were announced prior to the live ceremony. The Rimington Trophy for the nation’s outstanding center went to Auburn’s Reese Dismukes. Florida State’s Nick O’Leary was honored with the John Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end, and Duke’s David Helton won the William V. Campbell Trophy for academic success, football performance and community service. TCU coach Gary Patterson was selected the Home Depot Coach of the Year.

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez will coach the Badgers in the Outback Bowl against Auburn on Jan. 1. Alvarez is replacing Gary Andersen, who abruptly accepted the job as Oregon State coach on Wednesday. Alvarez coached the Badgers for 16 years before taking the athletic director’s job. He retired following a 24-10 victory against Auburn in the 2006 Capital One Bowl. Alvarez also was pressed back into service to coach the Badgers in a loss to Stanford in the 2013 Rose Bowl after Bret Bielema left for the Arkansas coaching job. Alvarez said Thursday that a number of seniors asked him to consider coaching the team during the bowl game.

Arizona’s Larry Foote (50) sacks St. Louis Rams quarterback Shaun Hill (14) during the second half of the Cardinals’ 12-6 victory over the Rams on Thursday night

Cards overpower Rams Arizona wins tight defensive battle 12-6, sees another quarterback hurt while ending St. Louis’ shutout streak By R.B. Fallstrom Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Drew Stanton hopped off the field to the bench and was carted off with a right knee injury. For the second straight meeting against the St. Louis Rams, the Arizona Cardinals lost a quarterback. They won both times, thanks to strong defense. Chandler Catanzaro kicked four field goals and the Cardinals overcame the loss of Stanton with their stifling defense, moving closer to clinching a playoff spot with a 12-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night. Larry Foote had a sack and fumble recovery. Coach Bruce Arians said Stanton had a previous knee injury so will need an MRI exam to determine the extent of the damage. The Rams (6-8) were held to Greg Zuerlein’s two short field goals and had five three-and-out series in the third quarter. Catanzaro’s 23-yard field goal early in the second quarter ended nine quarters of shutout defense by St. Louis, which beat Washington and Oakland by a combined 76-0 the previous two weeks. “I thought our defense played well enough for us to win,” coach Jeff Fisher said, but quickly added a turnover would have been nice. “In situations like this, when your offense is struggling, your defense has got to make a play.

We were close.” The Rams were eliminated from playoff contention. Ryan Lindley was ineffective in his first appearance since 2012 in relief of Stanton, who injured his right knee on a sack in the third quarter, but it didn’t matter. The Cardinals lost Carson Palmer to a season-ending knee injury during their 31-14 home victory over St. Louis last month. Kerwynn Williams was the Cardinals’ offensive standout with 75 yards on 15 carries. Stanton was 12 of 20 for 109 yards and Lindley was 4 of 10 for 30 yards. The Cardinals (11-3) entered tied for the top overall record in the NFC and will clinch a playoff spot if Sunday’s Dallas-Philadelphia game doesn’t end in a tie, or a Detroit loss combined with a Green Bay victory. “My first time with 11 wins. I’m happy,” cornerback Patrick Peterson said as he walked into the locker room. Rams players had no apparent protests relating to unrest in nearby Ferguson. Two weeks ago, five players did the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” pose coming out of the tunnel during pre-game introductions, and last week players wrote “I Can’t Breathe!!!” on wrist bands and cleats. Rams rookie Tre Mason’s fumble gave the Cardinals a short field that set up Catanzaro’s first field goal. Frostee Rucker punched the ball free and Foote recovered at the St. Louis 27.

It was the first score given up by the Rams since Nov. 23, when San Diego scored the winning touchdown with just over 8 minutes left in a 27-24 victory. Michael Floyd’ 49-yard reception set up Catanzaro’s 44-yard field goal that put the Cardinals up 6-3 midway through the second. Catanzaro made kicks of 51 yards and 46 yards in the second half Both teams had key defenders active coming off ankle woes. Arizona’s Antonio Cromartie and St. Louis’ Chris Long had been questionable. Arizona committed five penalties on its first two possessions, twice wiping out big gains. Shaun Hill was 4 for 4 with completions of 21 yards to Benny Cunningham on a screen and Cory Harkey for 16 yards to set up Zuerlein’s 24-yard field goal in the first. Zuerlein missed an extra-point kick and two field goals inside the 40 last week. Last month, Arizona outscored the Rams 21-0 in the fourth quarter, with two defensive touchdowns, to come from four points down to win 31-14. After that game, St. Louis benched Austin Davis in favor of Hill. Against a team he’s dominated in the past, the Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald was held in check with seven receptions for just 30 yards. In 22 games against St. Louis, he has 128 receptions and 16 TDs, most against any opponent. Still, at 31, he became the youngest player to 900 career catches.

Redskins expecting McCoy to start at quarterback Sunday Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden anticipates Colt McCoy will be sufficiently recovered from a neck injury in time to start Sunday against the New York Giants, adding that McCoy is “in the lead” above Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins despite coming off a subpar performance. McCoy was officially listed as limited in practice Thursday

Wagner From Page C1

Both before and after Wagner’s injury, Sherman has made a point of campaigning to get the linebacker his first Pro Bowl nod. Missing five games — almost one third of the season — would seemingly keep a player from earning such honors, but Wagner’s play this year has been so impressive he might be worth considering despite a long absence. Before his injury, Wagner ranked sixth in the NFC with 50 tackles, and since coming back he has 25 in three games, meaning another 100-tackle season is in reach despite a long layoff. But Wagner’s value is in more than just those tackles. Getting him back in the middle of the defense frees up everyone to play

and will need to receive a final medical clearance on Friday, but Gruden believes McCoy will get the go-ahead from the doctor. “It’s pretty positive right now. ... He looked fine today,” Gruden said. McCoy sprained his neck when he was sacked in the fourth quarter of a 24-0 loss to the St. Louis Rams and could barely swivel his neck when speaking to reporters early this week, but he went through all of his throws

a little faster, knowing that if they just do what they’re supposed to do, good things will happen, and that even if a mistake is made, Wagner or Thomas or Chancellor will be there to help. “Everybody right now is just running around, playing ball, having fun,” Wagner said. “We play our best ball when we’re having fun. When you hear the music and all that stuff, especially in the CLink when we’re dancing and all that stuff, the (opposing) team is probably in for some trouble.” When the Seahawks were struggling, it wasn’t just because of Wagner’s absence. Other important players were injured as well, and the defense just wasn’t playing as a cohesive unit as well as it does when everything is clicking. That has changed in a big way over the past few weeks. “We’ve found the game speed that’s indicative of the way we can play,”

with a normal motion during the portion of practice open to reporters Thursday. Gruden said McCoy took most of the snaps with the starting offense. Griffin will start if McCoy can’t. Gruden had hinted earlier in the week that he might go with Griffin anyway in light of the offense’s poor output against the Rams, but the decision is yet another sign that RG3’s days in Washington could be drawing to a close.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “And we were just off that, on a consistent basis we weren’t quite right. We were thinking too much, trying to do some things instead of just playing football, and (defensive coordinator) Dan Quinn has done a great job of just making these guys come together and really start to draw on their best abilities. “The last three weeks is the kind of style we’d hoped we could play since the last couple years. It’s fleeting — it doesn’t always stay. We’re trying to maintain a tremendous level of consistency that’s uncommon. So it’s about playing fast. It’s about trusting the scheme, trusting each other — the great trust that the players have so they’re not thinking ‘is the other guy in the right spot’ and they’re already a beat behind so it’s a lot that goes into that.” Wagner’s return to health isn’t the only reason that the Seahawks defense is playing better, and yes, faster than it has all

Tulsa hires Baylor offensive coordinator to be its new coach Tulsa hired Baylor offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery as its head coach Thursday. Montgomery has been calling the plays for one of the most prolific offenses in college football for the past four seasons. Baylor is the only team in FBS to be ranked in the top two in total offense and top four in the scoring offense each of the last four seasons. The Bears have won the Big 12 the last two seasons. The 42-year-old Texan has spent most of his career as an assistant to Baylor coach Art Briles, first at Stephenville (Texas) High School and then at Houston (2003-07) and Baylor. “I was fortunate to be in a great position working with Coach Briles and the wonderful people at Baylor,” Montgomery said in a statement. “I’ve always wanted to be a head coach, but my family and I knew that it would take the right opportunity to get me to leave Waco. Tulsa is that special opportunity. There is a lot of work to get done and trust me, I’m already on it. Get ready for some fun, fast and physical football.” Tulsa fired Bill Blankenship this month after the Golden Hurricane went 2-10. Tulsa went to eight bowls between 2004-12, played in the Conference USA championship game four times and won a championship twice. Since its last title in 2012, the Golden Hurricane have won five games.

UNLV picks its news coach from high school ranks UNLV is taking a gamble on its next football coach. Based on the success Tony Sanchez had at nearby Bishop Gorman High School, the university’s hierarchy believes it’s worth the risk. UNLV named Sanchez as its head football coach Thursday, joining a small group of Division I schools to hire a head coach directly from the high school ranks. The hiring still must be approved by the UNLV Board of Regents at its meeting Tuesday. UNLV is certainly a program in need of a jolt. Bobby Hauck led UNLV to its first bowl appearance in 13 years last season, but the program reverted to its struggling ways this season, finishing 2-11 overall, 1-7 in the Mountain West Conference. Hauck resigned after the final game this season, finishing 15-49 in five years. UNLV has had four winning seasons in 28 years. Hiring the 40-year-old Sanchez does come with risk, but could have a big payout. Energetic and detail-oriented, Sanchez had a stellar career at Bishop Gorman, turning the program into a national powerhouse. Bishop Gorman won a Nevada state championship in each of his six seasons there and he finished 85-5, with no losses to another Nevada school. Sanchez also coached 25 players who went on to play Division I football. Sanchez’s only experience on the college level came in 1996, when he served as an undergraduate assistant coach at his alma mater, New Mexico State.

season, but it’s definitely a big part of it. Having a “(expletive) fast as (expletive)” middle linebacker tends to do good things for a defense.

Seahawks add defensive lineman Seattle signed defensive lineman David King off of Cincinnati’s practice squad Wednesday and waived linebacker Allen Bradford. King, a seventh-round pick out of Oklahoma in 2013, has spent most of the past two seasons on the Bengals practice squad. The fact that the Seahawks waived King to make room on the roster is potentially good news for defensive end Demarcus Dobbs, who is currently dealing with what Carroll described as a “legit” ankle sprain. There had been some thought that Dobbs would land on injured reserve this week, and while that could still eventually happen, the fact it wasn’t the move made Wednesday indicates the Seahawks at least think there’s a chance of getting Dobbs back.

Upshaw From Page C1

major polls — and have obviously embraced a team-wide defensive mentality that was absent pretty much all of last season. But there is no player more important to that cause than Upshaw, who is just the third 7-footer to play for Romar at Washington and patrols the paint with a shot-thwarting presence not seen on Montlake since ... well, maybe ever. Or at least not since blocked shots became an official statistic in 1976-77. “Last year, we were so small, you get near the rim, we wouldn’t make you pay for it,” Romar said. “This year, we make you pay for it.” Brad Jackson, the third-year assistant coach who works with the Huskies’ big men, recalls his playing days at Washington State in the early 1970s, and a pair of opponents who blocked shots with similar or greater frequency than Upshaw. Their names: Bill Walton, against whom Jackson played, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor), whose UCLA career preceded Jackson’s time at WSU. “That’s, for me, the closest comparison,” Jackson said before a UW practice last week. “Playing against Walton, you get a sense of that. But I think it’s a real gift.” Coaches rave about Upshaw’s timing. Romar has said repeatedly since practices started that

Upshaw can wait until the ball leaves a shooter’s hand to begin his block attempt — though he’s been baited into silly fouls by pump fakes a few times — and Jackson praises his ability to obtain possession instead of swatting shots into the seats. Upshaw’s 7-foot-51⁄2-inch wingspan doesn’t hurt. He uses those long arms to block shots around the rim and scare perimeter shooters into hurried attempts. Against San Diego State, Upshaw swatted an outside shot attempt into the backcourt, allowing point guard Nigel Williams-Goss to collect the miss and head the other way for an easy dunk. “It’s all about timing,” Upshaw said. “Because I can go block a shot, but if you’ve got guys like Nigel and Drew (Andrew Andrews) coming down the middle, you know they’re creative, you know they’re going to get to the basket and have a high floater. And it’s all about timing. So I can get that ball out of Nigel’s hand right when it leaves his hand, or I can run and jump 13 feet and go get it.” And he’s blocked WilliamsGoss’ famed floater? “I’ve blocked everybody on this team,” Upshaw says. The more Upshaw can play — he’s averaged just 17.7 minutes per game off the bench so far — the more confident the rest of the Huskies’ defense will be around him, pressuring the ball or gambling for a steal with the knowledge that Upshaw can clean up after them at the rim.

presence at San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno, where Upshaw played his senior season after transferring two years prior from Edison High. Brad Roznovsky is the head coach at San Joaquin these days, and was an assistant during Upshaw’s time there. “He allowed us to trap a little bit,” said Roznovsky, who returned to Fresno on Sunday afternoon after visiting Upshaw in Seattle and attending the San Diego State game. “He allowed us to be very aggressive in man, whereas if we got beat ... we didn’t want to teach to get beat, but the kids knew they cold be very aggressive in our man principles because they knew the rim was protected by Robert.” At UW, Williams-Goss says “it

makes it a lot easier to pressure when you have a safety-net back there.” Upshaw originally committed to Kansas State out of San Joaquin, but chose instead to sign with hometown Fresno State. He lasted just one season there before being dismissed for repeated rules violations. Eventually, he chose to transfer to Washington, where fellow San Joaquin alum Quincy Pondexter thrived from 2006-10. While Upshaw sat out the 2013-14 season due to transfer rules, his status for this season remained in doubt. Upshaw didn’t practice with the team for the final several weeks of last season and didn’t sit on the bench during games. Romar vaguely implied that off-court problems

were the reason for Upshaw’s distance from the program, but wouldn’t say much more. Maturity, Upshaw said, was the issue, though specifics remain unknown. “The University of Washington is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” he said earlier this season. “The help that I’ve received from the university has been more than helpful. They’ve helped me mature. They’ve helped me academically make it so that I can be successful if basketball doesn’t pan out.” His playing time the rest of the season will depend partially upon his conditioning — Upshaw estimates that he’s at an “8 out of 10” in that department now — and his ability to focus consistently in practice. His offensive game needs polish, though he dunks ferociously and flashed an effective hook shot on Sunday night. And despite his fairly limited minutes so far, he’s averaging 8.9 points and 5.7 rebounds. Roznovsky enjoyed his visit with Upshaw and Romar this past weekend. He said Romar told him Upshaw has come a long way since he arrived at UW, but that he still has room to grow. Specifically, Roznovsky said, “maturity, and realizing that he’s going to have to continue to work in the classroom and on the court to get better. But I think he’s on the track right now. I really do. I sensed over the weekend that he grew up a little bit, I think, in the last year or so.” And, perhaps, into the best shot-blocker Washington has ever had.

What comes around

Everett’s Sharing Wheels helps low-income people get bikes By Andrew Gobin Herald Writer

EVERETT — The smell of dirt, grease and rubber tread hangs in the air of the Sharing Wheels community bike shop downtown. In a windowless building with a back-alley entrance, the shop is packed with bicycles for sale or awaiting repair. “We refurbish bikes to resell,” shop manager Krista Knodell said. For 13 years, the shop has helped low-income people get bikes. Sharing Wheels started in a home garage and now is a nonprofit mainly funded by revenue from the repair and sales of bikes and parts. A wide array of bikes are available for people of varying skills and interests. “There are the hipster fixedgear guys and gals, BMX dudes and kids looking for a street or mountain bike,” Knodell said. “More people are coming in looking at commuter bikes — they want to bike to work.” Good bikes can be costly. Sharing Wheels aims to provide quality bicycles at an affordable price, as well as the tools,

parts and workspace to maintain them. Not all of the donated bikes are usable. “Some of the things people bring in are so badly damaged that they are scrapped or destroyed,” Knodell said. She curates a museum of sorts in the back of the shop, where brand-name plates and antique

parts are on display in a glass case next to her desk. Each Christmas, the shop donates refurbished children’s bikes to Christmas House, an organization that helps lowincome families with free gifts for children. Sharing Wheels has donated more than 70 bikes so far this year. Bicycle culture is growing

in Everett. Knodell sees Sharing Wheels as a vital part of the social health of the community by enabling people to get out of their cars and out and about. “There is a lot of diversity in people who use the bike shop,” she said. “That scares some people away, but it’s also the cool part. You’ll find someone has stopped what they’re working on to help fix a Mormon missionary’s tire. That’s what the community bike shop is about.” In the summer, Sharing Wheels opens the doors for a children’s bike swap, where kids can trade up for a new set of wheels. Similar to trades at a car dealership, kids bring in their old bikes and receive a voucher that can be used toward the cost of a new bike. “Through the year, some kids stop in and learn to work on their bikes,” she said. Some bikes come back to Sharing Wheels through the bike swap others are simply donated back. So goes the cycle of bike ownership. Andrew Gobin: 425-339-3000, ext. 5461; agobin@heraldnet. com.

Late-hour benefit fight puts bill on the ropes A

dispute between House and Senate armed services committees over whether to slow growth in military housing allowances and raise off-base pharmacy copayments has put at risk passage of a defense authorization bill. “This is as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” said one armed service committee staffer, describing the impasse between House-Senate negotiators striving to reach a defense policy bill compromise two months into the new fiscal year. If no deal can be struck, this Congress would be the first in 52 years not to enact a bill to shape defense policy and reset budget priorities. It would mean no new programs, thousands of hours of wasted effort on Capitol Hill and a budget mess for the 114th Congress in late January as Republicans will take charge of both chambers. The lame-duck Congress also needed to pass a new CR, or continuing resolution, by Dec. 11 for the Department of Defense to be able to spend at 2014 levels absent a separate deal on a 2015 defense appropriations bill. Knocking heads over the policy bill are the chairmen of the armed services committees, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Rep. Harold “Buck” McKeon (R-Calif.). Both men are retiring. Both also have colleagues ready to honor them by including their names in the title of the final defense authorization bill. That alone should be

TOM PHILPOTT MILITARY UPDATE incentive for compromise. For now, however, Levin and colleagues, including prominent Republicans, support the joint chiefs’ call to take at least a few steps to slow compensation growth. They accept President Obama’s plan to cap the Jan. 1 military pay raise at 1 percent versus 1.8 to match private sector wage growth. They also would cap Basic Allowance for Housing, or BAH, increases for several years, and phase in hefty increases in beneficiary co-pays for drug prescriptions filled off base. House negotiators don’t support the last two provisions. Capping BAH raises until recipients pay five percent of rental costs out of pocket would save the DoD $3.9 billion through 2019. Planned increases to drug co-pays would save $1.5 billion in direct health costs by 2019 and $3 billion more in accrual payments to cover drugs costs for elderly retirees and dependents. That’s money the joint chiefs want to divert to readiness accounts as Congress refuses to repeal defense spending cuts for

2016 and beyond as set under the 2011 Budget Control Act and enforced through a spending cut formula called sequestration. Chairman McKeon told the online magazine Politico that to accept the Senate position of smaller BAH adjustments and larger pharmacy co-pays would mean breaking promises to people, which he “can’t do.” A committee spokesman confirmed the accuracy of those remarks but added McKeon believes there is still time to get a bill done. “Beyond that,” he said, “the chairman does not wish to negotiate … through the press.” In opposing compensation curbs, McKeon and colleagues argue for delaying any such action until Congress receives the recommendations of the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission. That nine-member panel is to deliver its final report in February. One of the commissioners suggested Tuesday that pressure on defense budgets likely won’t be relieved by commission recommendations. In a phone interview, former congressman Steve Buyer, an architect of the Tricare for Life benefit for Medicare-eligible military beneficiaries while he was chairman the House military personnel subcommittee, said he doesn’t accept the “theme” of Pentagon leaders that substantial gains to military compensation since 2000 are unsustainable. He also called the proposed

compensation curbs that now delay agreement on a defense bill a “Pentagon cut exercise to find funds to deal with the sequester.” Yet those who look for commissioners to back a fresh set of cuts to compensation might be waiting in vain, he hinted. “We’re going to work on what’s important to properly recruit and retain and resource the force necessary for the war after next,” Buyer said. “I have told leadership at the Pentagon that their present budget issue is not my problem. Don’t look to me (as a commissioner) to solve your present budget problem. If you’ve got issues with sequester, then you deal with that with the Congress. That’s not my job.” Buyer cautioned that he wasn’t speaking for the commission. But as a former lawmaker with years of experience on armed services, as a career reserve officer and as someone who has studied compensation issues for the past 18 months, Buyer said he believes the “baseline argument” that current pays and benefits are unsustainable “is false.” “I learned immediately as a freshman congressman on the House Armed Services Committee (in 1993) about the power of the defense industrial base in Washington, D.C.” Its “appetite on programmatic” defense spending “is so strong” that personnel budgets feel “tremendous pressure” and those backing other programs “will do everything they can to either cut personnel numbers or benefits to

gain access to money to pay for programs.” That’s why, Buyer added, “when I created Tricare for Life, we created a different funding mechanism” using accrual accounting to “fence off” these health dollars from other defense accounts. Congress approved this and many other benefit gains for legitimate reasons, he added. Military associations using social media have helped to even the fight for resources, Buyer acknowledged. The Military Officers Association of America said its members had sent almost 45,000 “messages” to Capitol Hill in the past few weeks to urge rejection of the pay cap and compensation curbs. “We shouldn’t be debating between readiness and the pay and benefits for those in uniform,” said retired Air Force Col. Michael F. Hayden, MOAA’s director of government relations. “The Pentagon should have a budget that provides training, equipment and the pay and benefits needed to sustain the volunteer force.” Ryan Crotty, budget analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said he is surprised to see disagreement over compensation blocking a final bill. Yet given growth in personnel costs amid shrinking defense budgets it also likely was inevitable, he added. Send comments to Military Update, P.O.

Still waiting for ‘carrier-imposed fees’ refund Q: Last summer, I booked an American Airlines award ticket to London with both trans-Atlantic legs on British Airways, one of its partners. I had to pay an additional $828 in “carrier-imposed fees.” British Airways is well-known for these surcharges on frequent flier tickets. Just days after I booked my trip, British Airways rescheduled one of my flights, and I was switched to an American flight. I was promptly refunded half of the fees. Bad weather caused me to miss my second British Airways flight, and again, I was switched to an American flight. I expected that the remaining fees would be refunded as well. When I tried to request a refund for the rest of the fees on the American Airlines website, my itinerary still showed the British Airways flight I hadn’t taken, and it wouldn’t accept a refund request based on the itinerary. I called the American Airlines AAdvantage desk, and was told that the request would be submitted to the refunds department. I’m still waiting for the refund. I’ve called, I’ve sent emails, and I’ve even faxed the refunds department. I’ve heard nothing for several months. I’m at a loss to understand American’s complete lack of a response to my request, so my hope is that you’ll have better luck

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER getting its attention. — James Ould, Rochester, Minn. A: You noticed the price difference between an award seat on American Airlines and British Airways. Nice work! Most travelers wouldn’t have given it a second thought. But then they’d be a few dollars poorer. The carrier-imposed fees are a bit of airline hocus-pocusry. For a variety of reasons, some airlines separate taxes, fees and fuel surcharges from their fares. They make you pay these extras even if you’re traveling on a “free” award ticket. In other words, you could fly on American Airlines using the same number of miles and pay $828 less than if you were to fly on its partner airline, British Airways. Parenthetically, this redefines the concept of an “award” ticket, doesn’t it? I mean, isn’t a frequent

flier ticket supposed to be “free”? And yet, here we are, paying another $828 after spending all that money earning miles. Something is wrong with this picture. When American rebooked you on one of its planes, you were owed $828. For some reason, American believed you had flown home on British Airways, so it only refunded half of the fees. It isn’t clear what went wrong, but American is still in the middle of a merger with US Airways, so it could have been an information technology glitch. I reviewed the correspondence between you and American. You gave the airline every opportunity to make this right. The only thing you didn’t do was send a brief, polite appeal to someone higher up at American. I think you’ve been more than patient. I contacted American on your behalf, and it promptly refunded the rest of your money.

Mom recruits family to brighten co-worker’s holiday Dear Abby: I work with a wonderful, goodhearted young woman who holds a low-paying job. She’s raising three children alone, and I know she struggles to provide the necessities. I have learned that the holidays at their home are pretty meager. My husband and I have been discussing the many frivolous indulgences at our family Christmas and would like to suggest to our grown children that this year we pool our resources and send the money anonymously to this family a week or so before Christmas. Would it be rude to ask our kids for the money in advance? Unfortunately, there may be a couple who would prefer to receive gifts. How should we handle this? — Tennessee Reader Dear Reader: Your impulse is generous. Start now by telling your grown children, “You know, I’ve been thinking ...” then discuss what you’re considering and the reasons for it. Make participation in the project voluntary so that those who wish to can contribute the money they would have spent on gifts for you to the fund. Write (small) checks to those who would rather receive gifts than donate to your co-worker. You can’t “force” others to be generous, and frankly, you shouldn’t try. Dear Abby: When visiting friends I usually prefer to stay in a hotel, but my friend insisted I stay at her place so we could have more time to visit and make the most of our weekend together. On my last day, I woke up to find a note on my bedroom door instructing me how to clean the bedroom RIP HAYWIRE

I left the bathroom in a cleaner condition than it was when I arrived. When I got home I sent my hostess a thank-you note for her hospitality. I haven’t spoken to her since.

Is there a new etiquette policy for guests that I don’t know about? — Still Upset In Seattle Dear Still Upset: I have never heard of any rule of etiquette that says this was OK.

“I lost a diamond and a club and went down,” Cy said. I found out that at the other table, South played LOW from dummy on the first spade. East, Cy’s teammate, understandably put up the king and led a diamond. South won in dummy and lost a trump finesse. He won West’s diamond return with the ace, led a trump to dummy’s eight and ruffed a spade high. South then went back to the nine of trumps and led the queen of spades: ace, ruff, jack. He could return to the ace of clubs to pitch his diamond loser on the high ten of spades.

MOVIES

Paul Thomas Anderson reflects on Robert Altman, Joaquin Phoenix

Letterman’s final ‘Late Show’ set for May 20

During a recent interview, writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson reflected on some of the inspirations to his latest movie, the Thomas Pynchon adaptation “Inherent Vice.”

David Letterman fans, mark your calendars: Dave’s final “Late Show” will be May 20, 2015. Letterman announced his intention to retire in April, but aside from saying it would happen sometime in 2015, no one has known exactly when his last show would be. CBS even announced his successor, Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show will end Thursday. But the question remained as to when Letterman would actually step down and Colbert would take over. While there’s still no official start date for Colbert, it’s reasonable to expect it to come sometime in the fall, since crews will need the summer to dismantle Letterman’s sets and install Colbert’s team in the Ed Sullivan Theatre. Now the biggest question will be: Who will be Dave’s last guest? His first guest on both his NBC and CBS late night shows was Bill Murray. Los Angeles Times

On Robert Altman’s “The Long Goodbye” I had to get it out of my mind. Growing up, it was so important to me. Altman’s work was so important to me. And that was well enough. I had no need at this point in my life, in my career to try to do another Altman movie. Done that. Did that in my 20s. So if anything, it was about ignoring that and trying to shut it out in my mind in a peculiar kind of way. This is about the book. It can’t be about other movies. But you can’t ignore Altman. Ever.

that I found really helpful to have as a foundation to start writing from. I deviated a lot from (Upton Sinclair’s “Oil!”), ultimately. But without that book to start with, that movie wouldn’t exist. At that time, I was just so obsessed with classic things. Looking at “Treasure of Sierra Madre,” looking at “East of Eden,” looking at these classic things, just sort of studying how they work and how their bits and pieces are put together.

As a film, ‘Wild’ is a bit tame ROBERT HORTON

aybe there’s something in Cheryl Strayed’s writing voice that has enthralled readers of her bestselling memoir, “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” an account of a solo walking journey. If so, that voice hasn’t translated to the movie version. The film stars Reese Witherspoon, who also produced it. You can see why the star wanted the material: it’s a big role, full of bad behavior and attitude and acting-out. We meet Cheryl Strayed (she made up the last name) as she embarks on hiking a thousand miles of the PCT. We also see plenty of flashbacks to an unhappy life — promiscuity and drug abuse are highlighted — and track the sad fate of Strayed’s mother (Laura Dern). Strayed begins her

hike in the Mojave Desert, aiming to end at the Bridge of the Gods, which spans the Columbia River. She loses her boots, messes up her food supply, and carries too much stuff in her backpack. And people complained about the guy in “Into the Wild” being ill-prepared. Still, Strayed presses on, meeting a few interesting people (and a few alarming ones) along the trail. Witherspoon brings her customary pluck to the role, and her strength is convincing. I didn’t buy her as the wild girl of Strayed’s past, however; Witherspoon projects a little too much sanity for that. Strayed’s book was adapted by novelist Nick Hornby, and is directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, of “Dallas Buyers Club.” They use some creaky symbolism (a fox serves as Strayed’s spirit animal) to push the story along. The approach smacks of a lack of confidence — after all, it is tough to make a movie about a woman walking along a path. But it’s especially irritating because it takes the grandness of nature and the challenge of hiking a long trail and puts

“Wild” ★★1⁄2 Reese Witherspoon plays Cheryl Strayed, a memoirist whose trek along a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail helped heal a life of wayward behavior. The Oregon scenery’s nice, but too many forced moments make the movie feel like someone going through the motions.

them entirely in service of one person sorting through her problems. Most of the movie was shot in Oregon, and it offers a variety of scenic pleasures. But if you’re going to choose one 2014 release about a woman walking alone across a great distance, make it “Tracks,” another true story (with Mia Wasikowska in western Australia). That film at least touched on a real sense of mystery about solitary activity — what does drive people to “get away” so completely, anyway? By comparison, “Wild” seems like someone going through the motions.

‘Top Five’ mines worst of Rock By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic

If Chris Rock’s movies were as good as his interviews, he’d be racking up year-end critics’ awards right about now. The comedian has been smart and funny — riffing on politics, race, and Hollywood — in his publicity marathon for “Top Five,” a starring vehicle he also wrote and directed. But at some point, the actual film has to open, and, well — too bad. This one is a marked advance over Rock’s previous directing fling, “I Think I Love My Wife” (2007), a stillborn remake of Eric Rohmer’s French New Wave classic “Chloe in the Afternoon.” But it’s much less savvy than his stand-up observations. The story unfolds over the course of a long day in New York, as a once-popular comedian named Andre Allen (Rock) desperately promotes his new movie. He’s talking to a New York Times writer named Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson) throughout the day, a device that’s less about illuminating his character and more about highlighting their growing rapport (although one long slapstick recollection about a lost weekend in Houston keeps the movie 2014-level raunchy). We learn that Andre is giving up comedy because he’s quit drinking, that he only wants to make serious films like his new project about the Haitian slave uprising, and that he’s less than passionate about his upcoming marriage to a reality TV star (Gabrielle Union). It’s also really getting old that his furry trilogy about a police bear named “Hammy” is his biggest claim to fame. Something in him dies every time a fan shouts “It’s Hammy time!” in his direction. Rock has gathered a batch of colleagues to contribute smallish roles, including Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan, and Cedric the Entertainer. As for Rock’s

performance, even playing opposite the lively Dawson doesn’t make him a more fluid actor. There’s nothing wrong with the idea of mixing comedy and Woody Allenesque introspection — I guess the comparison here is with Allen’s “Stardust Memories,” but that movie wasn’t especially strong, either. The “problems” that come with wealth and celebrity are a wobbly basis for comedy, despite the laughs scattered through “Top Five.” And when the jokes are given the hard-R down-and-dirty treatment (this is not a holiday movie to see with the whole family), it makes the experience that much more dispiriting.

“Top Five” ★★ Chris Rock directs himself as a tired comedian who wants to be taken seriously, telling his dreams to a New York Times reporter (Rosario Dawson) as his new movie opens. Somehow the “problems” of wealth and celebrity don’t make good comedy material here, despite the big roster of all-stars in small roles.

Deepwater Horizon doc an opening salvo By Robert Horton

“The Great Invisible” ★★1⁄2

Herald Movie Critic

Is a documentary an information-delivery system, or a work of art? This question keeps dogging the makers of nonfiction films, and director Margaret Brown takes a stab at having it both ways in “The Great Invisible.” Brown, who made the affecting 2004 portrait “Be Here to Love Me: A Film about Townes Van Zandt,” has here tackled the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. And, most importantly, its aftermath. Brown does due diligence in reminding us of the devastating 2010 explosion at the offshore oil rig, which killed 11 workers and caused extensive damage to the ecosystem of that part of the Gulf of Mexico. One of the film’s eeriest tools is homemovie footage shot on the rig before the disaster, a cheerful tour through the state-of-the-art (but still dangerous) structure. This is a prelude to the film’s real subject, which is how things are going four years after the incident. Much was made at the time of oil giant BP’s announcement to set aside many billions for compensation, a bold move that

was supposed to avoid the kind of litigation (still ongoing) from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. Nobody seems too happy; BP has been complaining about payments made to undeserving claimants (Brown doesn’t cover this in the film), but “The Great Invisible” finds a number of people who have yet to receive

compensation. Brown focuses on specific individuals, including workers from the oil rig whose injuries — including posttraumatic stress — are left unresolved even now. Just as poignant is the glimpse into tiny Bayou La Batre, Alabama, where hesitant locals appear overwhelmed by the paperwork and

bureaucracy connected to claiming reparations for the harm to their seafood industries. At least one great character study emerges: Roosevelt Harris, an indomitably upbeat gentleman who helps the scattered rural folk claim their just due. Along with this material, Brown includes some haunting

images of the landscape, yet “The Great Invisible” doesn’t entirely succeed as either journalism or poetry. This saga is still unfolding, and while the film will likely serve as a reminder of a forgotten crisis, it feels like an opening salvo, not the definitive word. Even the wealthy oilmen who somehow agreed to let Brown eavesdrop on their

conversation (in which they come close to acknowledging that they don’t know what to do about oil, either) are being overtaken by time; the recent drop in gas prices might have them slowing their intake of cigars and whiskey.

Scott’s Moses more yawn than brawn By Robert Horton

“Exodus: Gods and Kings” ★★

Herald Movie Critic

The gulf between Moses movies can be measured in beards. For “The Ten Commandments” (1956), Charlton Heston unrolled a splendid carpet of chin-hair; for the latest incarnation, Christian Bale offers realistic, scraggly whiskers that might belong to the third apostle from the right in any average biblical epic. “Exodus: Gods and Kings” prefers angst over showmanship, and the picture suffers accordingly. Surely the film’s director, Ridley Scott, has been waiting all his life to get a crack at the florid yarn-spinning of the Old Testament. One of Scott’s most sheerly enjoyable movies, “Gladiator,” conjured up the swordand-sandals mode of 1950s epics, and “Exodus” lays out an even bigger canvas: slave armies, plagues of frogs and locusts, the parting of the Red Sea. It sounds like an ideal match for the man who made “Blade Runner,” but Scott’s grouchy approach falls short of the eagerbeaver cornpone of Cecil B. DeMille (who vigorously mounted “The Ten Commandments” twice in his career). Bale creates a somber Moses, adopted brother of Egyptian king Ramses (Joel Edgerton, from “The Great Gatsby”). You know the story: When an enslaved Hebrew elder (Ben Kingsley) informs Moses of his actual Jewish heritage, our hero goes through a spiritual crisis, is banished, and returns to wait out the plagues.

Director Ridley Scott takes on the biblical tale of Moses (Christian Bale), who splits from his royal brother Ramses (Joel Edgerton) and leads his people out of slavery. There’s some huge spectacle here (the Red Sea gets parted, etc.), but Scott’s grouchy approach and the computer-generated scale makes the movie too dull to really catch fire.

As for the parting of the Red Sea, the film uses a non-supernatural explanation for the event, and those optics score pretty well on the popcornmovie scale. Scott also does something seriously haunting with the burning bush. All that spectacle, yet “Exodus” violates the 11th commandment of Hollywood: Thou shalt not bore the audience. Mr. DeMille would not have let this happen.

My Vietnam serves up time-tested Vietnamese dishes By Gale Fiege

My Vietnam

Herald Writer

EVERETT — Pho today is perhaps like sushi was 25 years ago. Ya gotta have it. OK, yeah, the pho craze is about 10 years old, but it’s still hip. In fact, it seems like a lot of hipsters like this inexpensive, filling, aromatic noodle soup. However, at My Vietnam in Everett, pho as been a mainstay of the menu for all of the restaurant’s 20-year tenure in a small strip mall storefront on Evergreen Way. There, owners Tau Sopy and his wife Wan have been serving what they call traditional Vietnamese soup (pho), traditional Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi), traditional Vietnamese vermicelli noodle bowls (bun) and salad

That is a story for another day, but the French influence (and remember that Vietnam was a French colony) is worth mentioning.

and I ordered banh mi sandwiches ($3.50 each) to go. I think Tau may have incorrectly communicated our order to his wife because we both got traditional barbecued pork sandwiches. Mine had too much mayonnaise, but the cilantro and the vegetables on the sandwich were fresh, as was the light, crusty French roll. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls ($3.75) with peanut sauce. The shrimp was fresh and tasty and the vegetables crunchy. The takeout sauce had separated a bit, but all was well when we stirred it up. We had much better luck with the pho and the bun. A medium serving of the combination pho ($6.95) was a generous bowl of meaty broth and noodles with numerous slices of beef, tripe and meatball.

The traditional accompaniment of basil leaves, bean sprouts, jalapeno slices and a lime wedge, along with a squeeze or two from a bottle of sriracha and hoisen sauce, made for a flavorful and healthy meal that satisfied the appetite and brought a little sweat to the brow. The (vermicelli) bun bowl ($7.25) was equally flavorful and filling, with fresh vegetables, charbroiled chicken, a light fish sauce and peanuts. Our appetizer this time was the steamed pork dumplings ($5), which had a wonderful garlicky taste. Next time, we’ll go back for the lemongrass dish that Tau suggests. Merci, monsieur!

‘Margaret’ tour kicks off at the Moore

Seattle show is release party for album based on the life of Everett’s Margaret Rucker By Aaron Swaney Herald Writer

As a little girl, Sarah Schmidt would trick-ortreat at Rucker Mansion and wonder what was behind that large front door. Years later she remembers visiting Rucker’s Tomb as a teenager growing up in Everett. Now she lives in a house on Rucker Hill. So when Jason Webley asked her last year to take part in a project bringing to life a scrapbook of the late Margaret Rucker she jumped at the chance. “Jason knew this was pretty close to me,” Schmidt said recently. “He called me and said I have something crazy to tell you. He told me the whole story. We were both like, ‘We have to do something with this, right?’ ” What Webley did was create a magical night this past April revolving around the life of Margaret Rucker Armstrong, a daughter of one of the city’s first families. Joined by nearly a dozen of his musician friends, including Schmidt, Webley brought to life in song Margaret’s scrapbook — found in a San Francisco Dumpster by his friend “Chicken” John Rinaldi — in front of a sold-out crowd at the Historic Everett Theatre. The night culminated in a procession from the theatre to Rucker’s Tomb in Evergreen’s Cemetery. Now comes the encore. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Webley, who moved back home to Everett three years ago, has recorded an album of many of the songs performed that night and created a 90-page

Above: Jason Webley gestures during the April show. After learning his friend, “Chicken” John Rinaldi had found a scrapbook of Margaret Rucker’s in a San Francisco Dumpster, Webley organized the April show. Right: A poster by artist Dax Tran-Caffee promoting Friday night’s “Margaret” album-release concert at the Moore Theatre.

“Margaret” The “Margaret” album is a full-length 15-song CD featuring music by Jason Webley, Led to Sea, Jherek Bischoff and others. It’s housed in a 90-page hard-cover book that includes the images and clippings from the scrapbook. “Margaret” can be purchased for $25 at any of the concerts or at jasonwebley.com. The “Margaret” tour kicks off Friday night at the Moore Theatre in Seattle before traveling to Portland (Dec. 18, Wonder Ballroom), Eugene (Dec. 19, Wow Hall), San Francisco (Dec. 20, Castro Theater) and Los Angeles (Dec. 21, Bootleg Theater). For tickets for Friday’s show, visit www. stgpresents.org.

hardcover book containing images from the scrapbook and more. Webley is releasing the “Margaret” album Dec. 12 — Margaret’s birthday — and is bringing together many of the

same musicians from the April concert for an albumrelease concert Dec. 12 at the Moore Theatre. It will be the first of five “Margaret” shows Webley and his friends will put on down

the west coast. “(The April show) was going to be the end of it,” Webley said. “Simply it was that the songs were just so good” Webley admits the first concert came together quickly and had an element of surprise. “I was hearing those songs for the first time,” Webley said. Inspired by elements of Margaret’s scrapbook from her poetry to pictures, the musicians wrote songs and performed that night in front of an audience made up of the musicians’ fans and local Everett people interested in the project and Margaret’s story. “It was amazing that all these people came together to honor a woman none of

us knew,” said Eliza Rickman, who performed two songs that night: “Lark of My Heart,” based on one of Margaret’s wedding photos, and “Maker of My Sorrow,” written about Margaret’s husband’s suicide. Webley said Friday’s show will be missing some of the elements — including one performer — of April’s show while new elements will be added. He said he knows more about Margaret’s story than he did back in April and will bring some of that in as well. “This time will be different,” Webley said of Friday’s show. “I have no idea how this show will be and I like that.” One difference is the

venue. The Historic Everett Theatre was booked for Dec. 12 so Webley decided to move it to the Moore Theatre. The Moore holds significance for Webley — his last solo show was at the Moore on Nov. 11, 2011 — and Margaret, who was born the same month the Moore was opened in 1907. The tour is also significant as it travels from Seattle to San Francisco, where the scrapbook was found, and ultimately to Los Angeles, close to where Margaret and her husband, Justus Roger Armstrong, died. Webley has worked tirelessly over the past seven months to put the album and tour together. Since the April show, he started the Kickstarter campaign to raise money, recorded and mixed much of the album at his home studio off the Snoqualmie River near Monroe and booked the venues for the tour. “I’m honored to work with Jason,” Schmidt said of her longtime friend. “He is working so hard behind the scenes. This isn’t his grandma. This is someone who is very separate from all of us. The fact he’s doing it just because it needs to be done with one human being’s story and how we can all come together and create and touch people’s hearts is amazing.” For Webley, who joked that 2014 was the year of Margaret Rucker for him, the upcoming tour is the closing of a chapter. “I definitely see this as being over,” Webley said. “After that I guess I’m open. I like not quite knowing what I’m going to be doing next. I hope it’s something I can’t even imagine.”

Castle’s Celtic Christmas comes to Everett The Kirkland electric violinist brings show to the Historic Everett Theatre on Dec. 18 By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

He lives in Kirkland, but the wizard six-string electric violinist Geoffrey Castle is at home in Snohomish County. In the aftermath of the March 22 mudslide near Oso, Castle stepped up to play a free concert for the people of Darrington and then offered his talents for another show in Stanwood that raised relief funds and honored the first responders, who came from Darrington, Oso, Arlington, Stanwood and throughout the region to help out with the mudslide. This time, he’s in town to spread some Christmas cheer. Castle’s Celtic Christmas show, a concert for all ages, starts at 8 p.m. Dec. 18 at the Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett. Tickets range in price from $15 to $30 and are available by calling 425-258-6766. Castle has been playing the violin since he was 8 years old. While attending Columbia University, he made his money as a street musician, busking around New York City. He rose to fame when offered the chance to perform with the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, “M. Butterfly.”

If you go Castle’s Celtic Christmas show, a concert for all ages, starts at 8 p.m. Dec. 18 at the Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett. Tickets range in price from $15 to $30. More information: 425258-6766. Castle has played with the likes of John Popper of Blues Traveler, Alan White of Yes, the original members of Heart and the current group called Heart by Heart, among many others. When not performing locally and around the world, Castle volunteers his time encouraging school orchestras to keep on playing. A theme of Castle’s career has been to debunk pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin. He is the preeminent pioneer of the six-string electric violin. His approach to Celtic music appeals to people who like the blues, jazz, rock, bluegrass and country music. Castle plans to make Everett an annual stop on his Christmas concert tour. Performing with him will be Beth Quist of Cirque du Soleil, Gaelic tenor Connor Dunworley from Ireland, the Eastside

Applause

Firefighters Pipes and Drums corps, the Seattle Irish Dance Company and his own band, the Castle All Stars. The band includes Eric Roberts on keyboards, Darin Watkins on drums and Steve Boyce on bass. And children can expect to see Santa Claus, who on Thursday also will go by the name of Mac MacDonald. Even the show’s lights are going to be spectacular, Castle said. “First up we have the firemen in kilts,” he said. “They are an awesome way to start this amazing show.” It’s going to be great to be back in the Historic Everett Theatre, said Castle, who plans to make his Everett show an annual event. “Basically, this show is all about the magic of Christmas and a time that predates the commercialized Christmas of today,” Castle said. “Be ready to be transported back to the Misty Isles.” The show is a good one for all ages. “Even sullen teens,” Castle said. “Sullen teens are our specialty.” More information about Castle is available on his website, www.geoffreycastle.com.

Hodgson to perform with Pacifica Chamber Orchestra Bassist highlights Dec. 14 show at First Presbyterian Herald Staff EVERETT — It’s a Christmas concert, but the highlights of the upcoming program by the Pacifica Chamber Orchestra don’t have a lot to do with the holiday. Brian Hodgson, who plays double bass, will perform the Concerto No. 1 in E Major by Dittersdorf, a fun, fast-moving piece that requires the player to embrace the bass like a cello. Can a bow really move that quickly

over the top of the big instrument? Find out at the concert, 3 p.m. Dec. 14 at First Presbyterian Church, 2936 Rockefeller Ave., Everett. The woodwind section of the orchestra gets a chance to shine in the chamber orchestra’s version of Gershwin’s Three Preludes for Winds. Other concert highlights include the Concerto Grosso by Vaughan Williams, Trois Pieces Breves by Ibert and Mozart’s Symphony No. 29. Artistic director Fred

Chu will lead the orchestra in a Christmas medley to complete the concert, and a Christmas cookie reception follows. Tickets are $20 general admission and $15 for seniors and students. Tickets are available in advance through Brown Paper Tickets and at the door on concert day. More information is available at www.pacificachamberorchestra.org.

Cascade Symphony, Sno-King Chorale to perform Christmas concerts By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

EDMONDS — Cascade Symphony Orchestra and the Sno-King Chorale are cornerstones of the performing arts community in south Snohomish County. The groups perform back-to-back Christmas concerts at the Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N., Edmonds. First up is the

community chorale, under the direction of Frank DeMiero, performing “Holiday Magic: The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13. DeMiero is having the concerts professionally recorded to produce the chorale’s first CD. Audience sing-along participation is a big part of the program, so people are encouraged to warm up their voices before they

arrive at the hall. “This is going to be a fun concert,” DeMiero said. “The program is quite involved, it’s fastmoving and it involves all of the holiday favorites.” With master of ceremonies Dick Thorpe leading the way, the program includes several medleys of Christmas songs and carols. Many chorale members have ensemble or solo parts, including Carol Mabbott singing “O

Holy Night.” Tickets to hear the community chorale are $20 or $17 for seniors and students. Call 425-275-9595 or order online at www. ec4arts.org. Cascade Symphony’s Holiday Concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 15. The program includes excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” as well as Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride” and a sing-along.

The highlights are sure to be CSO director Michael Miropolsky and concertmaster Pamela Liu playing the Vivaldi Concerto for Two Violins in A minor, and Beverly Setzer, principal clarinet, performing the Seletsky/ Marcus “Channuka Medley.” Two “Slavonic Dances” by Dvorak and lighter works by Gershwin, Liszt, Anderson, Glinka and Sousa fill out the program.

Tacoma Dome marks the spot for Brown’s ‘X’ tour By Andy Rathbun Herald Writer

Chris Brown isn’t just a singer — he’s a tabloidmaking machine. The pop star, once heralded as the second coming of Michael Jackson, has since become a poster boy for R&B’s reckless side. The past couple years alone have found him in the news for going to drug rehab and anger management, using homophobic slurs, and taking a couple of trips to jail. Yet he still can boast — and boast he does — of successes, like his latest album, “X,” debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in September, and a Grammy nomination for that same album. Now, he’s headed to the Tacoma Dome at 7 p.m. Saturday,as he tours behind “X,” which featured hit singles including “Loyal” and “New Flame.” He’ll serve as the headliner for the show that also features Schoolboy Q, Tyga and Kurupt. Tickets are $47.64 to $142.60 at ticketmaster. com or 800-745-3000. In a very different vein, The Piano Guys will bring their classical music mash-ups to the Paramount Theatre for shows at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. The group won the “Internet sensation” label thanks to its skilled musicianship and slick marketing. Made up of a cellist, a pianist, a videographer and a producer, the collective aimed to, as it says on its Web site, “make a positive impact in the lives of people all over the world through music videos.” To some extent,

mission accomplished. The group’s innovative instrumental covers and clever videos have won its YouTube channel over 3 million subscribers and many more casual fans. Meanwhile, its current globetrotting tour will find it playing historic U.S. venues like Carnegie Hall in New York and Red Rocks in Colorado, along with visits overseas to Paris, Vienna and London. The group is touring behind its third album, “Wonders,” which reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and features a decades-spanning medley of Batman themes, “Batman Evolution.” Fans at the Seattle shows may also get to hear some of the group’s holiday music from its 2013 album, “A Family Christmas.” Tickets are $35.75 to $121.25 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849. The Moore Theatre, meanwhile, will host indie rock act tUnE-yArDs at 8 p.m. Saturday. The musical project of frontwoman Merrill Garbus, tUnE-yArDs ecletic

take on pop has won critical respect. The act topped the Village Voice’s influential year-end Pazz and Jop list in 2011, joining the ranks of Bob Dylan, Kanye West and Outkast. Those critical write-ups have gradually translated into commercial success. The act’s most recent album, “Nikki Nack,” reached No. 27 on the Billboard 200. Tickets are $22.50 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

Finally, emo-punk fans can head to the Showbox at 7:30 p.m. Monday for a triple bill featuring Saves the Day, Say Anything and Reggie and the Full Effect. The bouncing pop of Saves the Day helped the group score a string of minor hit albums in the

last decade. The group is touring now behind its self-titled seventh album. Say Anything courts many of the same fans as Saves the Day, but is known for a slightly more ambitious take on emo. The group, led by frontman Max Bemis, is touring now behind the autobiographical album

“Hebrews.” Finally, Reggie and the Full Effect — the show’s opener — has a cult following for its oft-kilter, often funny, emo punk anthems. Its latest album was 2013’s “No Country for Old Musicians.” Tickets are $23.50 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Pair of musical couples perform Christmas tunes Herald Staff These two couples are partners in music, but not in love, unless one considers the partnerships are based on the love of music. And this time of year, it’s all about Christmas music. Ginny Reilly and David Maloney formed Reilly & Maloney in the early 1970s, and became well known as they sang American folk music up and down the West Coast. Earlier this year, they released an album of music from “The Club Years: 1973-1976.” Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel formed Tingstad & Rumbel in the

mid-1980s, and won a Grammy award for best acoustic instrumental album of the year in 1998 and in 2003 for best New Age album of the year. Tingstad and Rumbel have performed, recorded and toured together for nearly 30 years and have 19 albums to their credit. Their debut album, The Gift, quickly became a holiday classic. Each year, Tingstad & Rumbel come home for Christmastide concerts, including the one at the Thumbnail. Rumbel, an oboe player, was a member of the Paul Winter Consort for several years prior to her move to the Pacific Northwest. Tingstad grew up in Seattle and studied

‘Christmas Story’ hits all the right notes By Jon Bauer Herald Writer

Familiarity breeds, if not contempt, disinterest. Which is why it’s hard to get too excited about another cable channel marathon of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” or “A Christmas Story.” The 1983 movie is a funny and charming remembrance of 1950s era radio host Jean Shepherd’s recollections of Christmas as a boy in his Indiana hometown. But with annual marathons playing in the background on Christmas Day, lines like “You’ll shoot your eye out,” can get a little repetitive. Although some fans — my mother included — would probably look for a bar of Lifebuoy to wash my mouth out with upon hearing any criticism of the movie. Luckily, The 5th Avenue Theatre has brought back its adaptation of “A Christmas Story: The Musical” for the holidays. The musical, which premiered at The 5th Avenue in 2010 before breaking onto Broadway and earning three Tony nominations in 2012, takes the best bits of the movie and weaves its story around music and dance numbers. With a movie so beloved, stage actors tread dangerous ground recreating characters first portrayed by Peter Billingsley as Ralphie, the boy who longs for a “Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun,” Melinda Dillon as a mother who struggles to suppress laughter over her sons’ misbehavior and Darren McGavin as The Old Man, who can make a string of the most innocuous words

sound like the foulest language. But The 5th Avenue cast is the equal of the movie crew, with Mark Jeffrey James Weber as Ralphie, Jessica Skerritt as the mother, Dane Stokinger as The Old Man, Brandon Oke as Ralphie’s younger brother, Randy, and narration by Kurt Beattie, who recreates Shepherd’s expressive Midwestern radio voice. It’s Ralphie’s story as Mark portrays his quest to subtly convince his parents of his desperate need for the BB gun to be under the Christmas tree. It’s amusing enough in the movie, but here the young actor brings Ralphie’s imagination to life with song and dance numbers where he and his trusty BB gun chase off Old West bad guys and gangsters. Brandon Oke, 10, who attends Everett’s Penny Creek Elementary School, has his moments at center stage, too, displaying a veteran’s talent for physical comedy, first while he and Skerritt struggle to get his snowsuit on and later when a slip on the ice leaves him like a turtle turned on its shell. I wasn’t humming any of the shows tune as I left the theater, but the music, among all the raucous dance numbers, provides a couple of pleasant quieter moments in the second act. Skerritt sings “Just Like That” with the emotion of a young mother realizing her children are growing quickly. And audiences also might notice a catch in their throats as Mark and Brandon, singing “Before the Old Man Comes Home,” wonder how they might patch things up between their folks after a fight.

Go ahead: Open before Christmas “A Christmas Story, The Musical” plays through Dec. 30 at the 5th Avenue Theatre, 1308 Fifth Ave., Seattle. Tickets, starting at $29, are available online at www.5thavenue.org or by phone at 206-6251900. To read more about Everett’s Brandon Oke, go to www.heraldnet.com/christmasstoryboy.

MARK KITAOKA

Mark Jeffrey James Weber, as Ralphie, gets his mouth washed out with soap by his mother, played by Jessica Skerritt, in “A Christmas Story: The Musical” at The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle.

But the music is mostly there to be danced to in numbers like “Ralphie to the Rescue” and “A Major Award,” in which the

fishnet-stockinged legs outnumber the dancers. The Old Man’s joy over winning a crossword contest and receiving a leg-shaped

lamp in a box marked with the Italian word, “fra-geelee,” dissolves from the Indiana home into a Rockettes-style chorus show

with a line of leg lamps and legs kicking in unison. Some special recognition is due the children’s chorus, who display great singing talent and even a knack for tap dance. “A Christmas Story: The Musical” manages not to gloss over any of the movie’s beloved lines or scenes. I wondered at the end of the first half how it was all going to get in — the pink bunny suit, the frozen flag pole, Santa’s demonic slide and the Chinese dinner — especially with the addition of song and dance, but at the end I noticed nothing missing. Before the show, my mother wondered how they would manage the neighbors’ dogs, who are crucial to a late scene. But even the two dogs, Pete and Lily, galumphed on and off stage on cue. It wouldn’t be possible to see the musical version as often as you might the movie version, and maybe that’s as it should be. See the musical and it will remain a fond holiday memory, untainted by repetition.
