Trafton school’s fate is unclear

Duo charged in pot robbery A woman who worked for the victim, and pretended not to know the suspects, is accused of setting up the crime. By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — The robbery plan was no masterpiece. For one, the woman’s acting terrified for the surveillance

cameras wasn’t particularly convincing. Then there was the tattoo. She pretended not to know the suspects — except one of them had her name inked on his arm. A Lynnwood-area medical

marijuana grower lost roughly $20,000 worth of product and supplies in the violent November holdup. Police allege it was set up by a woman who had briefly worked as a plant-trimmer at the man’s house just hours before. The woman and one of the robbers were arrested Dec. 9. Both were booked at the Snohomish County Jail on $500,000

bail and were charged this week with robbery. The Snohomish County sheriff ’s Major Crimes Unit has served multiple search warrants in the ongoing investigation. At least one other suspect remains at large. The robbery was reported See POT, Page A2

Still kicking up her heels

The first and only tenant to rent the property after it was closed by the Arlington School District in 2010 has decided to end its lease.

Original Rockette Eleanor Leight, 92, teaches and choreographs dance

By Kari Bray Herald Writer

TRAFTON — The fate of the historic elementary school here once again is up in the air. The Oso Community Chapel decided in November to stop leasing the old Trafton Elementary School building. Since fall 2011, the church had used the space for meetings, classes and, more recently, to store donations during the Oso mudslide recovery efforts. The church was the first and only tenant to rent the school after the Arlington School District closed the school in 2010, over objections from former students and from parents of children who attended the rural school in its final years of operation. When it closed, Trafton Elementary was the oldest continuously running school in the state. The district has no plans to lease the building to another tenant. “We definitely want to keep it in good repair at this point, but we’re not doing any major renovation work or anything,” district spokeswoman Andrea Conley said. “I don’t think (the school board) is at the point of making any decisions on what to do with the property. We just don’t have the money to staff it.” The building is recognized as a historic site on state and national registers. It gained those designations in 2008, 120 years after the school was founded and 96 years after it was rebuilt following a fire. Trafton Elementary is a twostory white schoolhouse with a gray roof crowned by a bell-tower and a smattering of moss. It’s on Jim Creek Road immediately off Highway 530 northeast of Arlington. Next to the school, there’s a picnic shelter painted with a bright orange tiger, Clifford the

Eleanor Leight, 92, of Snohomish, was one of the original Radio City Rockettes. She now teaches dance classes and is the choreographer for the Silver Steppers senior dance group at the Mill Creek YMCA.

SNOHOMISH — As a Radio City Rockette, she entertained troops during World War II with the group’s famous synchronized, eye-high kicks and sharp dance numbers. Now, at 92, Eleanor Leight is showing off her choreography and teaching dance. She hasn’t missed a step, coming up with routines and instructing young

and old dancers here for nearly half a century. “She’s absolutely a gem in our community,” said Brenda Chovanak, a coordinator at the Snohomish Senior Center where Leight teaches. Leight started her professional career at a ballet company in Philadelphia. By her teens, she was teaching, having grown too tall to be part of the cast. Soon after, the company disbanded when the men were drafted to

fight in WWII. Leight turned to tap dancing and in 1942 auditioned for the Rockettes, a precision dance company that then performed four times a day out of Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The Rockettes are perhaps best-known for the grand finale of each show, in which the dancers intertwine arms, form a chorus line and kick in unison. Leight had the look and the legs for it.

“They were very particular about your legs,” she recalled. “I practiced and practiced. Dancers are like athletes.

Pot From Page A1

about 12:30 a.m. Nov. 29 at the victim’s home north of Lynnwood. The grower, 43, is a felon who also owns a marijuana dispensary in Seattle, court records show. In 2011, he was charged in Snohomish County and later convicted with felony marijuana trafficking. At the time, police tried to seize his Lynnwood-area house but were unsuccessful. They accused him of growing pot beyond the limits of his medical marijuana license. The 21-year-old reportedly behind the November holdup was brought on as a trimmer by another of the victim’s employees. She arrived to help trim marijuana plants the

Big Red Dog and the words “Trafton Tigers.” Beyond that is a playground and a deflated tetherball hanging from its pole. “I actually went to school there in the first grade,” said Jerry Graber, president of the Oso Community Chapel’s board of directors. “It’s a shame to see it sit there empty. It’s a great old building, and I hope someone finds a use for it.” The church board rented the building to do more outreach in Trafton, about eight miles from the church’s main location in Oso. The group held some meetings and classes there, but the effort didn’t draw as many people as the board had hoped, Graber said. Then came March 22.

afternoon of Nov. 28 — less than 12 hours before the robbery, according to a search warrant. While working, she was “constantly” on her cellphone and showed the other workers pictures of her “baby daddy,” a man named “Smiley.” As the day wound down, the marijuana grower and some of his workers went out to dinner. He got back to his house about 11:30 p.m. A silver Chrysler was parked nearby. Surveillance cameras later showed that it had been driving past his house multiple times while he was at dinner. Soon afterward, the woman called the victim and asked to buy some of his pot. She returned to the house to make the transaction. As he was opening the front door for her to leave, two armed men rushed in.

While the men pointed their guns at the victim and pushed him into the kitchen, they ignored the woman, who closed the front door and stayed inside the house, according to the arrest reports. She calmly watched the robbers work for a few seconds before walking outside. Afterward, she looked up at a surveillance camera, she “tries to appear panicked,” police wrote. The men struck the victim multiple times in the head with a handgun before taking $20,000 worth of marijuana and marijuana supplies. They drove away in the silver Chrysler. They also took the grower’s phone, his gun and his silver necklace. The victim needed stitches for his head injuries. One of the suspects was

tracked down using social media and in jail booking records. “Smiley,” 23, has a felony for a gang-related drive-by shooting. When police caught up with him, he reportedly had the victim’s necklace. The getaway car also was tracked down to an alley in north Seattle. In 2010, a raid of the victim’s home found five pounds of marijuana drying in one bedroom, another six pounds in the garage and hundreds of plants. The court case to seize his home was dismissed in 2011. The man was given 240 hours of community service in lieu of 30 days of jail time. The community service was done at a Seattle pot store and the Lynnwood Food Bank. Rikki King: 425-3393449; rking@heraldnet. com.

A mudslide ripped through Oso, killing 43 people, burying part of Highway 530 and destroying a neighborhood. The chapel turned Trafton Elementary School into a drop-off, storage and distribution site for donated food and supplies. “After the slide, we realized there was a real need for a place for people to go, besides the (Oso) fire hall, to be ministered to,” church board member Gail Blacker said. Volunteers continued giving out food and household supplies until late November, when the church held a rummage sale for the final items. The sale brought in about $5,000 for the church’s Oso relief fund, Graber said. Board members are working with other local groups to determine the best use of those funds in communities affected by the disaster. Meanwhile, church

leaders decided to refocus on the chapel in Oso, which is coming up on its centennial, Blacker said. The board hopes to expand services at their longtime home, but having a second location is no longer part of the vision. “As a church, we still plan to do all the things we were doing in Trafton, just at the Oso church,” Graber said. People like the idea of a Trafton location, “but it’s hard to get enough people there to heat that big old building,” he said. At the schoolhouse, the church hosted some guitar classes, knitting groups, a harvest festival and an Easter egg hunt. One of the most popular activities was a Zumba dance class that has since relocated. Graber hopes to see the building in use again soon. “If it sits there empty, it’s likely to get vandalized,” he said.

Someone broke in at least once while the church was storing mudslide donations there, he said. No significant damage was done. “The thief may have been looking for food, and if so, there was plenty of that,” Graber said. The building, like any old structure, needs regular upkeep, he said. It has a leaky roof and drafty walls, but otherwise didn’t have any major problems while church volunteers were there. The district is reroofing the building and will keep track of other maintenance needs, Conley said. They won’t let it fall apart, but it’s not a high priority for district spending. “It’s hard because it’s such a landmark for our community,” she said. “There are a lot of memories there.” Kari Bray: kbray@ heraldnet.com; 425-339-3439.

Budget cuts hurting public disclosure The commission says it’s falling behind collecting info on candidates and lobbyists. Associated Press OLYMPIA — The Washington Public Disclosure Commission is struggling to find the dollars to keep its informative website up to

date with modern technology. The state agency that helps the public keep up with campaign finance information was asked by the governor to propose budget cuts just like every other state agency, The Olympian reported Thursday. PDC executive director Andrea McNamara Doyle says the agency needs more money, not less, so it can update its online interface.

She says a cut in state funding will mean the agency will fall further behind in its ability to collect and share information with the public. Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed spending plan would cut the Public Disclosure Commission’s budget by 2 percent for the next two-year budget cycle, including eliminating three employees. The agency would like to invest

$200,000 into upgrades that would make it easier for candidates and lobbyists to file reports and for the public to find and understand them. Inslee’s budget offers $24,000 in improvements for the agency while reducing spending overall by $81,000 to about $4 million over two years. The PDC also says it needs money to replace an old phone

system and for new office computers. Inslee’s budget office said the PDC’s requests were among more than 120 information technology spending requests it received. “The governor’s budget includes more than $200 million in cuts to help balance the budget,” state budget director David See DISCLOSURE, Page A4

Nov. 1, he reportedly denied hunting in Idaho this year. Witnesses had seen him coming out of the canyon alone. They said he seemed surprised to see them, declined their offer of help and drove off quickly. It was suspicious enough that they took down a license plate from a truck the man’s friends were using. The man then told agents that he had shot one elk, and his three friends took three elk with one gunshot each. When agents interviewed the

EVERETT — Juan Quintanilla Jr. thanks God for healing his brain. He also is grateful to his wife for standing by his side. The Kennewick man, 35, suffered a traumatic brain injury last year in a car crash in Everett. The left side of his face also was severely damaged. Quintanilla lost his left eye and multiple teeth. He has undergone numerous surgeries and says there will be more. Prosecutors are calling the crash a crime and recently charged the driver with vehicular assault. Pedro Crenshaw, 32, reportedly was intoxicated and driving 104 mph when he lost control of his Cadillac CTS-V on E. Lowell-Larimer Road. Crenshaw failed to appear for a court hearing earlier this month. A judge issued a $50,000 warrant for his arrest. He doesn’t have any criminal history. At the time of the crash, Crenshaw’s driver’s license was suspended for an unpaid speeding ticket. Quintanilla and his wife had recently moved back to Washington from Texas. They were staying with Crenshaw, saving up for a place of their own. “We were friends. I knew him from working at Boeing in San Antonio,” Quintanilla said. He doesn’t remember the crash on Sept. 12, 2013. Crenshaw reportedly raced out of the driveway, squealing his tires, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Cindy Larsen wrote in court papers. He headed eastbound on E. Lowell-Larimer Road. Witnesses said Crenshaw passed two cars. They estimated that he was driving about 80 mph. The speed limit is 35 mph on the winding road. As Crenshaw attempted to get back in the eastbound lane he lost control of his car. He drove into a ditch and struck a chicken wire fence. There were 2x4 boards attached to the top of the fence. Three of the boards crashed through the windshield and into the passenger seat. One of the boards hit Quintanilla in the face, detaching the skin and causing serious life-threatening injuries. The Cadillac kept going through the ditch before hitting a parked Dodge Ram pickup. The

John Burkholder lifts weights at his home gym in Snohomish on Dec. 10. Now a pastor at Cascade Community Church in Monroe and a chaplain at Monroe’s prison, Burkholder is a former bodybuilder who collected accolades such as the Mr. Northwest title in 1976, and the Mr. USA title in 1977.

Strong faith, good deeds Bodybuilding prison minister teaches skills to Monroe inmates By Rikki King Herald Writer

MONROE — As a young man, John Burkholder was a champion wrestler and bodybuilder. His athletic career culminated in his being named Mr. USA and Mr. North America before he retired from competition in the early 1980s and became a teacher. He attributes his success in sports to discipline and

self-control. The same values also defined his path when he became a Christian. Burkholder, now 65, is a fulltime pastor for the Cascade Church prison ministry at the Monroe Correctional Complex. Burkholder was born in Germany to American parents. He grew up on military posts around the country and used to own a bodybuilding gym in Seattle.

He started bodybuilding at 14 and wrestled through high school and college. He joined the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War but was discharged because of a knee injury and went back to school. He and his wife Rita have been married 32 years and raised two sons. Burkholder earned his master’s degree in theology in 2004. “I came to Christ when I was 41 years old,” he said. “Being

a pastor wasn’t really on the agenda. I didn’t really live a Christian life before. It was one of those things where there was a huge change in my thinking and my life.” After graduate school, he started a job in finance at Cascade Church in Monroe. He was invited to teach a Bible study class at the prison, or “the hill,” as the locals call it. The next See BODYBUILDER, Page A12

Hunter investigated for possible elk poaching The Mill Creek man is facing felony charges for killing 4 animals in Idaho. By Rikki King Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — The hunting trip apparently was illegal from the get-go. A Mill Creek man, 36, is under investigation for allegedly breaking laws in multiple states during a hunting trip he took in October. He reportedly used an illegal hunting license and killed more

elk than allowed. He is expected to face felony charges in Idaho, court papers show. Fish and Wildlife agents from Washington and Idaho paid the man a visit at his home in November. They seized his rifle, plus animal bones, and elk and deer meat from his freezer. In all, roughly 230 packages of game meat were taken from the man and his friends who went on the trip, according to a search warrant filed in Everett District Court. Police believe the man killed four elk during a single morning

in Idaho when he only had a tag to take one animal. He reportedly had his friends put their hunting tags on the other three animals to avoid scrutiny. If convicted, that may be a felony offense because it exceeds legal hunting limits. Possessing illegally obtained meat is a crime. The man also is accused of lying about his residence to obtain cheaper hunting licenses in Idaho and Oregon. He moved to Washington in 2011 but has obtained an Idaho resident hunting license every year since, investigators allege. When agents went to his house

Police body cams unlikely here: Snohomish County’s two largest police agencies, the county sheriff ’s office and the Everett Police Department, say they have no plans to obtain body cameras for deputies and officers. The technology has made headlines recently after being rolled out in a pilot program in Seattle.

Everett police say they will watch how the technology works in other cities. The sheriff ’s office says the cameras are too expensive at this time, and there are not enough resources for them to handle storing the digital recordings and processing public records requests for the recordings.

force pushed that truck about 200 feet, where it hit a parked Dodge Charger, which in turn was shoved into a wooden fence. A witness saw Crenshaw walk away from the crash. She followed him in her car as he crossed Marsh and Seattle Hill Roads. A neighbor encountered Crenshaw walking through his back yard. “I just killed my best friend,” the man remembered hearing the stranger say. A woman also reported seeing Crenshaw walk through her yard. Crenshaw took off running into the woods. The woman’s husband found Crenshaw kneeling and urinating. That’s where

The deputy had to keep the man from pulling on the “remainder of his face” to prevent him from adding to his injuries. Quintanilla was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. More than a month later he wasn’t responding to doctors’ commands to move his arms or legs. “I was alive. I wasn’t healing mentally,” Quintanilla said. Doctors told his wife, a nurse, that he likely would need to be moved to a nursing home for longterm care. From what his wife tells him, he responded to her voice the day after the crash, looking at her for the first time. In the following days he began responding to commands to move. He was moved to a rehabilitation facility. He made it home about three months after the crash, Quintanilla said. He continues to heal.

Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies found him. His blood was drawn three hours after the crash. Tests showed that his blood-alcohol content was .089 — slightly above the legal limit, court papers said. An inspection of the Cadillac’s airbag control module showed that Crenshaw was driving about 104 mph about 3.5 seconds before the crash, Larsen wrote. The car was going about 70 mph when it hit the fence. The first deputy who

The damage to the nerves on the left side of his face still gives him trouble. He not only lost teeth but his gums were severely injured. “I feel 100 percent recovered mentally,” Quintanilla said. “But I’m still dealing with the physical effects.” These months have tested him, but Quintanilla says his wife has given him encouragement and guidance. “I couldn’t imagine being single, going through this,” he said. He also is determined to join the workforce again. Quintanilla said he earned a finance degree last year. He isn’t sure he’ll be able to work in that field, but he’s certain he will find a suitable job. “I don’t want to be sitting on a couch, collecting a disability check, watching TV,” he said. “It might be easier.

WWU professor helps guide Mars rover Curiosity By Katherine Long The Seattle Times

BELLINGHAM — These are exciting days for the earthbound scientists who study Mars. Data from a NASA rover creeping across the red planet’s surface is rewriting our understanding of Mars’ geological history and offering tantalizing clues to the possibility that the planet once harbored life — or, possibly, still does. One of those scientists is Melissa Rice, a Sammamish native who recently joined Western Washington University as an assistant professor of geology. She’s part of a team of 400 scientists nationwide guiding the rover Curiosity across the surface of Mars. Rice, 32, takes a “rover shift” five times a month. In Bellingham, she receives high-resolution photos and other data from Curiosity’s previous day on Mars. Then she discusses, via teleconference with several dozen other scientists, what they want the rover to do next. Several University of Washington professors are also involved in the effort. The group decides which rocks the rover should

investigate, how far the machine should drive each day and what other measurements it should take along the way. Once they’ve set a plan, the information is passed on to a NASA engineering team that sends commands to the rover. Earlier this month, scientists reported Curiosity had recorded a burst of methane in Mars’ atmosphere that lasted at least two months. One possible explanation: It’s the waste product of microbes living below the surface. “It’s definitely not evidence for life on Mars and it doesn’t necessarily make it more likely that there is,” Rice said. “But a door that we thought had been closed actually is not.” Curiosity isn’t designed to detect life on Mars, and if it found some remnants of ancient life, scientists might not even recognize it as such, Rice said. Rather, the rover was designed to explore whether parts of Mars could have been habitable at some point. And Rice says the evidence is strong that Mars once had an environment more like Earth’s — moist and warm, with an atmosphere that was robust

It’s definitely not evidence for life on Mars .... But a door that we thought had been closed actually is not. — Melissa Rice Assistant professor of geology, WWU

enough to sustain liquid water at the surface. “We’ve found really compelling evidence that the rover’s landing site on Mars not only had water, but water that was not too salty, not too acidic, and that had the kinds of nutrients that might have been able to sustain life,” she said. The rover team spends much of its time comparing photos of Mars to similar-looking geological formations on Earth to try to deduce what happened on the planet’s surface. The rover’s photographs show rock colors both visible and invisible to the human eye. A big part of Rice’s graduate work was searching in databases for spectral patterns of Earth rocks, and matching those patterns to the rocks found on Mars. That’s

how scientists deduce the mineral composition of the rocks the rover encounters. The next rover, planned for 2020, will try to answer whether there are signs of life on Mars, Rice said. That rover will collect samples of rocks and store them on the planet, so that a subsequent mission can retrieve them and return them to Earth. Rice said scientists must perform experiments on Martian rocks in an earthbound lab so they can be repeated and verified. “If we found some biosignature, the implications would be so profound, we would want to be absolutely sure it wasn’t an instrument calibration,” she said. “The only way you have that certainty is to repeat the experiment multiple times.” Next quarter, she’s going

to put her students to work on an assignment to pick out a prospective landing site for the 2020 rover — work that Mars scientists will actually be doing next year. All of the data needed to guide the decision on the landing is available on NASA’s website, she said. The rover is now at the base of Mount Sharp, and scientists believe the mountain contains clues to 3 billion years of Mars’ history. Layers of rocks are expected to offer hints as to why its climate changed so dramatically. Rice, who went to high school at Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue, first became interested in Mars while majoring in astrophysics at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. In graduate school at Cornell, she was trained on how to work with some of the earlier Mars rovers. She earned her Ph.D. at Cornell in 2012, where her thesis examined signs of water at the Gusev and Eberswalde craters on Mars. In 2012, when the Curiosity rover landed, she was one of a team of scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., who

kept their work schedules correlated with the Mars orbiter, so that they could be ready to pore over the data as soon as it arrived. “I describe it as being constantly jet-lagged for three months,” she said. Rice said that for decades, many people believed there was life on Mars. American astronomer Percival Lowell, working in the late 1890s, popularized the idea that there were signs of Martian canals on the surface. It was only in the early 1960s that NASA’s Mariner missions fully disproved Lowell’s theories. Yet the idea that our neighbor in space once harbored some form of life still teases our imagination. If life were to emerge independently on another planet tens of millions of miles from Earth, that could imply that planets harboring life are a common phenomenon elsewhere in the universe, Rice said. In other words, Mars might help us know whether we are alone in the universe, “which is probably one of the biggest questions one can ask,” she said.

101,000 pay for insurance with Washington exchange SEATTLE — Between renewals and new customers, 101,000 Washington residents have bought health insurance

through the Washington exchange so far this open enrollment period. About 76,000 renewed their policies by the Tuesday

deadline for Jan. 1 coverage. About 25,000 are new to the exchange and will have insurance on Jan. 1. Last year, during the first

open enrollment period since the Affordable Care Act went into effect, nearly 65,000 Washington residents had bought private insurance through the exchange in time for Jan. 1 coverage. Exchange spokesman Michael Marchand says this year’s numbers will be very preliminary for at least a few more weeks. Many of the 54,000 who currently have insurance through the exchange but haven’t renewed for next year have two possible ways to keep that insurance on Jan. 1. For a while, they will be treated like people who are just late on their payments. If they pay up during the grace period and renew at that time, they will not have a gap in coverage. More than 80,000 people were late on their payments

TRIPLE ZERO SALES EVENT

at least once during the past year and most of them paid within 23 days. Marchand believes past experience indicates many of the 54,000 who have not renewed for next year will do so at the same time they catch up on their payments in January. “It could be a sizeable number,” he said. Some may also want to apply for an extension because they were having technical problems. This possibility works for new customers as well. To qualify for the extension, people should fill out an online request form. People who need extra help or do not have internet access, may call the customer support center. Exchange officials say customers making an extension request will receive a reply through email or regular mail. Marchand expects thousands of people will file for an extension. How many qualify will depend on their own personal situation, he said. He could not say if people would be granted an extension if they were just confused or believed they were having a technical problem but really weren’t. “We have to review them all,” Marchand said. “If it was

an issue of an individual not understanding something, it may just depend.” It’s not too late to begin the sign-up process for insurance. Depending on when they sign up — even if they start filling out their form on Feb. 14 — people will be eligible for insurance on Feb. 1 or March 1. The exchange has a goal of 85,000 new insurance policies sold through the exchange by the end of open enrollment on Feb. 15, 2015. Their second goal: Sell renewals for all 130,000 insurance policies sold during the first open enrollment. One of the issues with open enrollment this year and last was the way it overlapped with the holiday season. Marchand hopes next year’s open enrollment will end before Christmas, so people won’t have to juggle their time or their dollars to get insurance.

Kick: G.I.s in Europe ‘loved seeing American girls’ From Page A1

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

Silver Steppers members Janet and Tom Kometani (left), peek through a door before they are announced for their dance performance Dec. 12 at a Mill Creek YMCA Christmas potluck.

“He was the kind of person who once you met, you were friends,” she said. After leaving the Rockettes, Leight toured the U.S. for another year with a different dance troupe. She then spent another decade in Philadelphia teaching ballet and performing as a solo act in dinner clubs before she married her late husband, Wes Leight. The couple raised five boys, moving the family to Snohomish in the 1960s. Leight continued to dance until a few years ago. “I’m fine teaching now but performing is different,” she said. “Each year, I do less and less demonstrating.” Today, Leight is the choreographer for the Silver Steppers, a dance group for people older than 55 at the Mill Creek YMCA. There are currently about dozen dancers in the group, some of whom are in their 70s and 80s.

Leight is known for keeping her dancers in line, preferring to be the only one talking while she’s teaching and expecting everyone to perform to the best of their ability. “She is a stickler, there’s no doubt about it,” said Tom Haller, the Silver Steppers manager. “As an instructor, she’s on your tail.” Haller, 81, has danced with the group for almost 10 years. He said the seniors can get “testy” when they’re criticized on their performance but Leight, who is “no softie,” pushes them to improve anyway. “You might hear Eleanor say, ‘Oh, you can do better than that. You have done better than that,’ ” or ‘That was just terrible, try it again,’ ” Haller said. “But then, later, her bright blue eyes will sparkle and with a great big smile, she’ll clap her hands and say,

‘Oh, that was perfect, just perfect.’ ” Haller said Leight is always trying to make the group the best it can be. The dancers can see their moves getting better by comparing videos of old performances to more recent ones, he said. One such improvement is evident in the “New York, New York” number, in which the seniors swing their canes and kick in unison. Once they’ve perfected their moves, the Silver Steppers perform numbers

no, you just do it,” she said. Chovanak’s daughter, Erin, took dance lessons from Leight when she was young. Leight would make the parents get up and do the stretching with the dancers, Chovanak recalled. When Chovanak’s mother visited from Montana, Leight inspired her to take up tap dancing in her late-60s. Leight no longer teaches children’s dance lessons but she is still a gymnastics instructor for the Lake Stevens School District.

writing down each dancer’s missteps. “It was always kind of a worry that you’d make a mistake. If you did, you weren’t there very long,” said Leight, a glamorous, now white-haired woman. In those days, she had to look her best. Leight would wear dresses that didn’t have to go on over her head as to avoid messing up her hair, which was styled for her performances. Still lean and graceful, she weighs about the same today as she did back then, despite having desserts for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a midnight snack, she said. Leight traveled with the Rockettes in Europe for a year, entertaining the troops during the war. She tells of being part of the USO for General George Patton’s army and finding herself in the background of photos with Bob Hope and the G.I.s. “They were really appreciative and loved seeing American girls,” Leight recalled. The designer uniform she was given to wear was from Saks Fifth Avenue but the travel was less than glamorous. The Rockettes took a ship to France then traveled around Europe by train and in weapons carriers driven by U.S. Army troops. One driver was Dave Brubeck, who later rose to fame as a jazz pianist. During her time abroad she saw first-hand the horrors of the Holocaust. She visited Nazi concentration camps and sat in when Hermann Goering, a German politician and military leader, was tried for war crimes. She spent time at the Eagle’s Nest, a retreat of Adolf Hitler that was taken by the Allies. At war’s end, the Rockettes performed for officers of the Russian, American and British forces in Vienna. Almost 70 years later, Leight returned to New York City in 2013 to help the Rockettes alumni group archive the history of the WWII trip. At that reunion, she met Brubeck’s son and shared her memories of his father.

such as “The Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” at different venues in the area. Haller said dancing has helped him stay active since his wife, Carolyn, died in 2005. He never would have stayed in the group, but he promised Carolyn he would, before her death. “I’m not a dancer but I’m inspired by Eleanor and the group,” he said. “It’s become my source of life.” For more than three decades, Leight also led a dance troupe known as the Leight Fantastics. The dancers until 2013 put on several annual performances, including a large vaudeville show in Snohomish. Today, some of the dancers do smaller performances at the Evergreen State Fair and other venues. “It’s a delightful surprise to find in our little community of Snohomish,” said Brenda Chovanak, the senior center coordinator who hosted one of the group’s shows. Leight also teaches weekly lessons and hosts dances at the senior center. She instructs a variety of disciplines, including tap, ballet, and ballroom. Chovanak said Leight has a reputation for persistence. “You don’t tell Eleanor

Mar ysville residents, and siblings, Stan, Lillian (Stanton) and Lewis. He took to heart his Danish and Norwegian heritage. Bob attended Mar ysville High School and would have graduated with the Class of 1943. In June 1943 he was drafted and was selected to join the U.S. Marines (1st Marine Division, 7th Marines). He served as a telephone lineman in the Pacific, fighting from Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Okinawa and then China Duty. He left the service in January 1946 as a Corporal. This past fall he finished editing his Marine journal. He met Jean Marie Craigg in Seattle, Wash. when he moved into the house next to hers. Af ter dating for a few months, they were married in Marysville on September 28, 1946. In Januar y 1947, Rober t got a job with Scott Paper Company and became an instrument technician. By the time he retired, he was the head instrument supervisor. Bob took early retirement in 1 9 8 3 , h av i n g w o r k e d a t Scott for 37 years. As part of their giving back, Bob and Jean took in 16 foster children; some were shor t stays and some for several years.

In Loving Memory

Myron Olin Hinds July 21, 1949-Dec. 27, 1971 1967 Graduate from Lake Stevens It has been 43 years since you lef t so unexpectedly. Little did we know you would be taken from us so soon, and at such an early age. I can still remember the night a f te r C h r i s t m a s o f 1 971 when we you took me home f ro m m o u n t i n g y o u r n ew tires on the chrome wheels Janet and I bought you for your 55 Chev truck you were restoring. As you turned on to highway 92, I stood outside in the driveway and heard you run your 55 Chev Belair thru the gears, burning rubber as you headed for your home. You knew there was something not right between us, but I could not bring myself to talk to you about it. I loved you as a big brother, and looked up to you as my rock. Someone I could depend on in times of need. You were the bright shinning star in Dad’s eye. I tried to be as bright in his eyes as you, but I could not quite get there. You were his first born, and now that I have kids of my own, I know how he felt. Yes he loved us all and showed us that he did in many ways. Af ter you were taken so suddenly, it was not long after that his health started to fail. So in three and a half short years, he left us to be in Heaven with you. His last words to me was “I love you dear” I said I love you too, and I left for work. Little did I know that was the last wo rd s I wo u l d h e a r f ro m him. So now this Christmas, m o m h a s j o i n e d yo u a n d Dad and all of our relatives that have gone on before us. It has not been easy going thru this thing called life, but I c a r r y o n e a c h d ay a n d know some day I too will be able to be with my family again. Missing you so very much, Lee

POCATELLO, Idaho — Seven black Lab puppies abandoned in a southeast Idaho parking lot have been reunited with their mother who was dropped off at the back of an animal shelter 50 miles away. The Idaho State Journal reported in a story Friday that the pups and 2-year-old mother named Jan are doing well in a foster home. The puppies were discovered in a cardboard box in Chubbuck on Dec. 7 and taken to the Bannock Humane Society in Pocatello. The newspaper reported the discovery the next day and a short time later the facility received a call from an animal shelter in Idaho Falls saying an adult lactating female had been left there with a dead puppy. Officials said the surviving pups and mom immediately recognized each other. One pup has been adopted, and homes are sought for the others.

Troublesome elk herd moves on Idaho wildlife officials said a wandering herd of nearly 75 elk that created problems for drivers on Interstate 15 in southeastern Idaho has moved on. The Post Register reported that the herd has moved to the open desert several miles west of the freeway near Roberts. At least one vehicle struck an elk during the several weeks the herd plagued drivers on both sides of the freeway. Idaho Department Fish and Game officials said they issued hunting permits to hunters to help move the elk to their usual migration route. The department is now reviewing hunting regulations to determine if it should make adjustments to avoid a similar situation in the future.

Oregon: Poultry producers brace for bird flu Commercial poultry producers said they’re concerned the outbreaks of bird flu virus in Washington and Oregon will hurt exports by prompting some nations to impose trade barriers. Capital Press reported that the president of the U.S. Poultry and Egg Export Council, James Sumner, said some countries won’t distinguish between an outbreak in a backyard flock, like the one in Oregon, and outbreaks in commercial operations. He said he expects repercussions to move through the entire U.S. industry. The Oregon Department of Agriculture announced last week that the same type of bird flu virus that swept through Asia this year had been found in a flock of guinea fowl and chickens in the southern Oregon town of Winston. The spot is along the Pacific Flyway, where the birds could easily have contact with wild birds carrying the virus. From Herald news services

Russia: NATO a threat Los Angeles Times Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed into law a new defense doctrine that identifies NATO as the chief threat to Russian security and claims the right to use nuclear weapons to counter any aggression that “threatens the very existence” of Russia. The revisions to the 2010 defense mission statement were few but appeared intended to put further pressure on the U.S. and the Western military alliance to cease courting Ukraine as an economic and strategic ally. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has moved forces closer to Russia’s borders in response to the Kremlin’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea in March and its dramatically increased challenges

of the alliance’s airspace and maritime borders. NATO officials report that the number of aerial and maritime intrusions by Russian fighter jets in the Baltic Sea area has more than tripled this year over last. The new defense doctrine cites NATO troop deployments and induction of former Sovietallied states as the top threat to Russian security. It also deems the developing Prompt Global Strike program of the U.S. as hostile. The precision weapons system is being designed to be able to strike anywhere in the world so swiftly that the target has too little time to respond. The new doctrine also mentions NATO missile defense plans as destabilizing and for the first time identifies a priority for Russia to protect its resource and maritime interests in the Arctic Sea.

Russia needed to update its doctrine to address “the emergence of hotbeds of interethnic and interreligious tensions, the operations of militarized international radical groupings and foreign private military companies in the areas adjoining the borders of the Russian Federation and its allies,” the 29-page document on the Kremlin website says. It also cited the rise in “territorial contradictions and a growth of separatism/extremism” as pressures on Russian security. The amendments were approved by the Russian Security Council on Dec. 19 and signed Friday by Putin, the Kremlin website reported. Among the security threats it identifies in the doctrine is “the creation and deployment of global strategic antiballistic missile systems

that undermine the established global stability and balance of power in nuclear missile capabilities.” The doctrine makes clear that Russia considers NATO expansion into the realm of Soviet-era influence to be aggressive. The document accuses the Western alliance of having adopted “global functions realized with violation of international law.” Putin has repeatedly portrayed the induction of former Soviet allies of the Warsaw Pact as encroachment and provocation. A NATO spokeswoman countered that the alliance is defensive in nature and pointed to Russia’s Crimea seizure as evidence that it is Russia, not the West, that has acted in violation of international treaties.

Mayor attends officer’s wake The police union president says de Blasio had blood on his hands.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri became the first state Friday to have an average statewide gas price fall below $2 per gallon since 2009, while Oklahoma’s average was expected to drop below that threshold sometime over the weekend, according to AAA. The national average gas price was at $2.32 per gallon Friday, which AAA spokesman Michael Green said was the lowest since May 2009. That average has dropped for 92 days in a row, he said, which is the longest streak since AAA started keeping daily records in

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders said he’ll decide by March whether to launch a 2016 presidential campaign and, if so, whether he’ll seek the Democratic nomination. Either way, Sanders said he wouldn’t run just to nudge the debate to the left. “I don’t want to do it unless I can do it well,” he said. “I don’t want to do it unless we can win this thing.” Sanders, a socialist, said he grew up “solidly lower middle class” in a Jewish family in Brooklyn — his father, an immigrant from Poland, sold paint for a living — and his views about the distribution of wealth were formed early. “A lack of money in my family was a very significant aspect of my growing up ... kids in my class would have new jackets, new coats, and I would get hand-medowns,” Sanders said.

Florida: Buddy DeFranco dies Jazz clarinetist Buddy DeFranco — who collaborated with Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and other top singers and musicians of his era — has died at the age of 91, his family said Friday. DeFranco’s family said the famed musician died Wednesday at a Panama City hospital. DeFranco, a member of the American Jazz Hall of Fame, performed at venues around the world for 75 years and recorded with musicians including Sinatra, Holiday, Art Tatum, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett. He conducted the Glenn Miller Orchestra for eight years from 1966 to 1974.

A Detroit boy, 16, died after being shot in the head Christmas Day while he and friends played with a gun. The teen was taken off life support Friday at an area hospital and a 19-year-old has been arrested. The boy was shot about 1:30 p.m. Thursday at a home in the city’s historic Virginia Park neighborhood, about three miles north of downtown. Police said the teen and friends ages 19 and 17 were in the basement, and it wasn’t clear who pulled the trigger. Police said the gun was brought to the home by one of the 16-year-old’s friends.

blood on his hands. After a grand jury’s decision not to indict a white police officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man whose confrontation with police was videotaped, Lynch was incensed when the mayor

mentioned how he often fears for the safety of his biracial son in his interactions with police. “Police officers,” Lynch said, “feel like they are being thrown under the bus.” Just days before the shooting, Lynch suggested his police

union members sign a petition demanding the mayor not attend their funerals should they die on the job. Cardinal Timothy Dolan and others later attempted to temper the rhetoric. The mayor has said Lynch’s remarks were wrong and divisive, and he has called for calm. The officers’ killings have ramped up emotions in the already tense national debate over police conduct. Since Ramos and Liu were killed, police in New York say they have arrested seven people accused of threatening officers. Gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, before he attacked Ramos and Liu, had referenced in online posts the high-profile killings by white police officers of unarmed black men, specifically Michael Ferguson in Ferguson, Missouri, and Garner on Staten Island. Soon after the officers’ shooting Brinsley, who was black, killed himself.

Michigan: Boy, 16, shot

Associated Press NEW YORK — Mayor Bill de Blasio, heavily criticized by police for his handling of protests critical of them, on Friday attended the wake of an officer shot to death with his partner in a brazen daytime ambush. Hundreds of police officers, politicians and community members attended the daylong remembrance for officer Rafael Ramos at the Christ Tabernacle Church. Ramos, a 40-year-old married father of two sons, was studying to be a pastor. His body was carried into the church in a flag-draped casket and was displayed in full dress uniform. Pastor Ralph Castillo said Ramos was a beloved member of the church. “Whether he was helping a mom with a carriage or bringing someone to their seats, he did it with so much love and so much vigor and so much joy,” Castillo said. Ramos’ funeral is scheduled for Saturday, and Vice President Joseph Biden is expected to make remarks. De Blasio has said he will attend. Funeral plans for Ramos’ partner, Officer Wenjian Liu, haven’t been announced. Police union officials have said de Blasio contributed to a climate of mistrust toward police amid protests over the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white officers. At a hospital where Ramos and Liu were taken after their shooting as they sat in a patrol car on a Brooklyn street, police and union officials turned their backs on the mayor in a sign of disrespect. The police union president, Patrick Lynch, blamed the mayor then for their deaths and said he had

ACROSS THE U.S.

January 2000. Gas prices have fallen every day since Sept. 25, for a total of $1.02 per gallon, Green said. “The steady decline in gas prices this autumn is unlike anything we have previously tracked,” he said. Missouri’s average on Friday morning was $1.98, according to AAA. Oklahoma had the second-lowest average at $2.01 and “is likely to drop below that price point this weekend,” Green said. Kansas had the third-lowest statewide average at $2.06 per gallon, while Texas and Indiana each averaged $2.09, Green said.

Gas prices are about 94 cents a gallon lower than they were a year ago, and AAA estimates consumers nationwide are saving more than $450 million per day on gasoline compared with the highs of spring and summer this year. The slide is expected to continue in the short term. “Consumers could ring in the New Year with gas prices about 5 to 10 cents per gallon less than today, which would make for the lowest New Year’s gas prices since 2008,” Green said. A government report earlier this week said the economy has been benefiting from sinking

energy prices, and that cheaper gas has freed up money for Americans to spend on other items, such as cars, clothes and appliances. It’s uncertain how long those prices will continue their descent before rising again due to typical season trends, Green said. Refinery maintenance and decreased refinery production could push prices upward within a month. “Of course, if the slide in crude oil continues, then we may see gas prices drop even further,” he said. “But at this point, no one knows when the oil market will reach a bottom.”

A federal court has approved a $2.3 million settlement involving nearly 200 women who argued a strip club violated federal labor laws by not adequately paying them to dance. The settlement filed Wednesday ends a three-year battle involving the Dallas club Jaguars and other parties. The women claimed that they were employees often working more than 40 hours a week and deserved minimum wage and overtime pay. Club owners argued the women were parttimers not bound by labor laws.

AROUND THE WORLD Ireland: Life support ends A clinically dead pregnant woman was removed from life support Friday after a Dublin court ruled that her 18-week-old fetus also was doomed to die. The case highlighted fear and confusion among doctors over how to observe Ireland’s ban on abortion, the strictest such law in Europe, in an age of medical innovation. The Dublin High Court ruled that artificial support for the woman, in her late 20s with two children, should end more than three weeks after she was declared clinically dead.

Vatican: Topless activist Police arrested the Femen activist who on Christmas Day bared her chest and snatched the statue of Baby Jesus in the life-size Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square, a spokesman said Friday. Ukrainian activist Yana Zhdanova was being held for questioning, with possible charges including carrying out obscene acts in public, insults and theft. A topless Zhdanova grabbed the Baby Jesus statue about an hour after the pope offered his Christmas blessing Thursday. A guard covered her with his cape and detained her.

Japan: Big fries on menu Big fries are going back on the menu. McDonald’s Japan said Friday it will resume serving all portion sizes of fries Jan. 5 after resolving shortages due to labor disruptions on the U.S. West Coast. The fast-food giant began limiting customers to orders of small fries earlier this month. The company said its fry inventory had improved thanks to air shipments and sea shipments from the U.S. East Coast. From Herald news services

States to boost minimum wage Washington state’s rate will be the nation’s highest at $9.47. By Niraj Chokshi The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The minimum wage will rise in 20 states and the District of Columbia on Thursday, as laws and automatic adjustments are made with the start of the new year. In nine states, the hike will be automatic, an adjustment made

to keep the minimum wage in line with rising inflation. But in 11 states and D.C., the rise is the result of legislative action or voter-approved referenda, according to the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. Two more states — Delaware and Minnesota — will get legislatively driven hikes later in the year. Twentynine states will have minimum wages above the federal minimum of $7.25. The size of the increases range from 12 cents in Florida to $1.25 in South Dakota. Among those states hiking the minimum wage,

Washington state’s will be highest at $9.47. Oregon’s is next at $9.25., followed by Vermont and Connecticut at $9.15. Massachusetts and Rhode Island will have $9 minimum wages. Of the states where the minimum wage is rising due to legislative or voter action, five — Alaska, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, Vermont — and D.C. will also newly implement inflation indexing, bringing the number of states that tie future minimum wage hikes to inflation to 15. The minimum wage increases

will have a direct impact for 2.5 million workers who currently earn less per hour than the new minimum wage. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that an additional 1.9 million people would be affected indirectly, as employers adjust their payscales upward. (That estimate counts those with hourly wages between the new minimum wage and the new wage plus the size of the hike. In other words, if a minimum wage rises from $8 to $9, the institute assumes everyone currently earning $9 to $10 will be indirectly affected.)

Economy surged in 2014 The U.S. has remained insulated from the financial struggles surfacing everywhere from Europe and Latin America to China, Japan and Russia.

Last minute Christmas shoppers are reflected in a store’s window Wednesday as they walk through Chicago’s Loop. After enduring a brutal winter, businesses, consumers and investors showed renewed vigor in 2014.

than during previous recoveries. “It was a healing process from a severe recession and the financial crisis,” said Richard Moody, chief economist at Regions Financial, a bank based in Alabama. The healing isn’t complete. Wage growth remains lackluster and has barely outpaced extremely low inflation. Home building has been tepid. But worries earlier this year that the economy might be trapped indefinitely by sluggish growth have largely faded. Here are the economic highlights of 2014: Hiring boom Employers added 2.65 million jobs over the first 11 months of the year, and the unemployment rate sank to 5.8 percent from 6.7 percent. When the government announces the December job data next month, the 2014 job

total is expected to be just shy of 3 million — the most since the dotcom era in 1999. Compared with recent years, those gains have been less concentrated in lowerpaying industries such as retail, food service and temp agencies. “We’re finally entering that virtuous cycle phase of the expansion” when more jobs lead to higher incomes, which generates more consumer spending and growth, said Brett Ryan, an economist at Deutsche Bank. Though average wage growth has been modest, the number of people with paychecks — and the ability to spend — has soared. If you exclude the economy’s winter-induced 2.1 percent annual contraction in the first quarter of the year, annualized growth has averaged 4.4 percent in four of the past five quarters. That’s far above the historic average of roughly

3.2 percent in the decades after World War II. Stocks surge Stocks extended their bullish stampede of nearly six years. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed about 13 percent this year, hitting record highs more than 50 times. If you bought the index at a market bottom in March 2009, you’ve basically tripled your money. Corporate mergers helped drive this year’s gains, along with major companies buying up $400 billion-plus of their own stock. Oil prices plunge In a gift for U.S. consumers, energy got significantly cheaper. Crude oil prices were essentially cut in half from this year’s high.

Tesla Roadster to get 400 miles per charge

Car nerds, you just got an extra present under the tree. Elon Musk has confirmed an upgrade for the Tesla Roadster, the electric car company’s convertible model, and says that the new features significantly boost its range — beyond what many traditional cars can get on a tank of gasoline. There are three retrofits coming

Amazon.com and other Web retailers sold more products than ever this holiday season, boosted by early promotions and investments in delivery systems that helped avoid the widespread shipping snags of last year. Online shopping is on pace to rise 16 percent to $61 billion for the November-to-December period, according to researcher ComScore Inc., with retailers benefiting from lower unemployment rates, higher consumer confidence and a decline in oil prices that has left shoppers with more to spend on gifts. The total includes $7.9 billion in mobile sales, ComScore said. On Christmas Day, consumers went online to buy music, applications and other content for new smartphones and tablets they received as gifts.

Christmas came on time this year for most people. After FedEx and UPS failed to deliver some presents in time for Christmas last year, the two package carriers improved their performance this holiday season. FedEx delivered more than 99 percent of express packages as promised on Dec. 22 and Dec. 23, according to shipment tracker ShipMatrix. UPS delivered 99 percent of express packages as promised on those days. Last year, the percentage of express packages delivered on time those days was in the “low 90s,” ShipMatrix reported.

By Josh Boak WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy flexed its old muscles in 2014. More than five years removed from the Great Recession, worries had taken hold that perhaps the world’s largest economy had slid into a semi-permanent funk. Consumers, businesses and investors, after enduring a brutal winter, showed renewed vigor as the year wore on and set the United States apart from much of the world. Stocks repeatedly set record highs. Employers were on pace to add nearly 3 million jobs, the most in 15 years. Sinking oil prices cut gasoline costs to their lowest levels since May 2009. Auto sales accelerated. Inflation was a historically low sub-2 percent. The U.S. economy proved it could thrive even as the Federal Reserve ended its bond buying program, which had been intended to aid growth by holding down long-term loan rates. All told, the United States remained insulated from the financial struggles surfacing everywhere from Europe and Latin America to China, Japan and Russia. So what explained the U.S. economy’s resilience this year? Economists say it largely reflected the delayed benefits of finally mending the damage from the worst downturn in nearly 80 years. Unlike past recoveries that enjoyed comparatively swift rebounds, this one proved agonizingly slow. It took 6 ½ years to regain all the jobs lost the recession — 8.7 million — far longer

Next is a “aero kit” that’ll alter the car’s profile slightly, producing a 15-percent reduction in drag due to wind resistance. Finally, the company said in a blog post Friday, the Roadster will be getting new, more efficient tires. The result is an electric vehicle

The University of Michigan estimates that the average fuel economy of a new car in 2014 was about 25 miles per gallon.

Obama looks to GOP for support on trade President Barack Obama is preparing a major push on trade that seeks to enlist Republicans as partners and test his premise that Washington can still find common ground on major initiatives, even after he angered the GOP with a recent slew of executive actions. It also will test his willingness to buck his own party in pursuit of a legacy-burnishing achievement. Already, Obama is facing fierce blowback from fellow Democrats, who are accusing him of abandoning past promises on trade and potentially undermining his domestic priority of reducing income inequality.

Russia taxes exports to slow sales of grain Russia has introduced taxes on wheat exports, an effort to reduce food prices after the ruble’s collapse made it attractive for farmers to sell abroad. The tax, which runs from February through June, will be 15 percent of a shipment’s total value, plus $9.14 a metric ton, according to a statement on the government’s website Friday. The charge will reduce exports by at least 6.5 percent for the season ending June 30, the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies, predicted Friday. The move follows similiar export duties in 2008 and 2004. In 2010, the nation banned companies from shipping wheat overseas amid the worst drought in a half-century. From Herald news services

THE DAY ON WALL STREET Wall Street’s “Santa Claus” rally kept delivering gifts a day after Christmas. The Dow, S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 index of smallcompany stocks closed at all-time highs on Friday. The modest pickup in stocks, which gave the Dow its seventh consecutive gain, came on a day of relatively light trading after the holiday break for U.S. markets. Utilities stocks were among the biggest gainers. Oil prices continued to decline. That made traders hopeful for stronger consumer spending heading into next year. — Associated Press

West Coast’s port bottlenecks hurt businesses Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Congestion at the nation’s busiest ports, in Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, is an impediment to the nation’s economy, which is kicking

into high gear. The months-long bottleneck is hurting retailers and other businesses that aren’t getting their shipments on time as ships from Asia anchor off the Los Angeles coast waiting for the docks to clear.

“It’s been the bane of my existence,” said Lisa Foster, whose Venice, California, business sells reusable shopping bags imported from China. “And it’s only getting worse and worse and worse.” That’s in stark contrast to

demand, while production remained steady. The price decline trickled down to gasoline pumps. Average prices nationwide dropped to $2.32 a gallon, down roughly a dollar from a year ago, according to AAA. Some of that price slowdown has hurt U.S. oil producers, which must weigh layoffs. But overall, cheaper oil is a positive. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen noted that the falling prices resemble a tax cut, generating savings for consumers that can be spent elsewhere to drive economic growth. Autos sales up Far more Americans splurged on a new

car after having held onto aging vehicles during the recession and slow early stages of the recovery. Sales were on track to increase 6 percent this year, with 16.5 million new vehicles on the road, according to Cars.com. That would be the best sales pace since 2006. Interest rates drop Even as the economy has strengthened — usually a sign that interest rates will rise — it’s become easier to borrow. More loans mean more spending and faster growth. Rates have declined even though the Fed ended its program to stimulate growth by buying billions in Treasury and mortgage bonds each month. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has slipped to about 2.27 percent from 3 percent when the year began. The average 30-year fixed mortgage is 3.83 percent, down from roughly 4.5 percent a year ago.

a national economy that’s on pace to add the most new jobs since 1999. Growth, however, would have been stronger if the ports — which handle roughly 40 percent of U.S. imports — were operating smoothly, said international trade economist Jock O’Connell. The negative drag probably will worsen in the fourth quarter, when the most brutal congestion surfaced, he said. “This does act as a drag on the economy,” O’Connell said. “You want the ports, the entire supply chain to operate at maximum efficiency. And it’s not.” L.A. and Long Beach are trying to speed up the flow of cargo. The ports are taking a variety of steps to ease the logistical nightmare they blame on the increased use of huge container ships, a surge in cargo as the economy improves and a shortage of the trailers that truckers use to haul goods from the ports. In February, a shared trailer system will roll out, designed to make the equipment more available for truckers. The congestion is wreaking havoc on supply chains across the country. Many retailers flew their goods or diverted them to the East and Gulf coasts to ensure deliveries for the holidays.

Businesses are likely to absorb the added costs, which will affect bottom lines in the fourth quarter, said Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation. The situation has improved slightly since Thanksgiving, a Port of Long Beach spokesman said. The number of ships anchored off the coast has declined, but the docks still overflow with cargo. And a likely surge before the February Chinese New Year — when factories traditionally close — threatens to reverse any improvement.

According to the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents employers operating shipping lines and terminal operators, the union is directly thwarting traffic flows by refusing to send skilled workers for nearly two months at L.A. and Long Beach. Slowdown tactics have also been deployed in Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma, according to the employers. Nearly 20,000 dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports have been working without a contract since July, when their six-year agreement expired.

Bodybuilder: ‘When you have something that works, you just stick with it’ From Page A3

thing he knew, it was his full-time job. He primarily works in the units for offenders with mentalhealth problems and sex-crime convictions. Hundreds of inmates attend worship services in the ministry program, Burkholder said. He helps teach skills for inmates who are preparing for release, including finding a job and resolving conflict. His experience teaching junior high comes in handy, and his bodybuilding past sparks interest and common ground. He’s provided faith leadership to thousands of inmates over the years. “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever

done in my life,” he said. He finds the reward in seeing inmates change and not return to prison. Many of the inmates he works with are recovering from childhood abuse and neglect, and problems with drugs and alcohol, he said. He wants them to become better men. That means taking responsibility for their misdeeds, particularly the lessons from the first chapter of James, and the messages of self-control found within the Letters of Paul, he said. The way Burkholder sees it, most of the prisoners he works with will someday make it back into society. “How they come out of that prison is a very serious thing,” he said.

Burkholder still works out, too, three times a week in 90-minute sessions starting at 6 a.m. in the “man cave” at his house in rural Snohomish. “That’s my downtime, and it keeps me very healthy, mentally and physically,” he said. He’s had the same workout routine since 1981. “When you have something that works, you just stick with it and that’s where the discipline comes in,” he said.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Cyberstalking former UW student convicted, deported SEATTLE — U.S. officials have deported a former University of Washington student from India who was convicted of cyberstalking for making threats on social media. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday that Keshav Bhide, 24, left the country on a Wednesday flight out of Seattle. Bhide was accused of posting online threats to kill women at the University of Washington in solidarity with Elliot Rodger, who went on a murderous rampage in California in May. Threats using the name “Foss Dark” were linked to Bhide. Bhide was convicted on Dec. 11 in King County Superior Court and sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence. In a deal with federal prosecutors, the federal indictment for making interstate threats will be dismissed after he leaves the U.S. An immigration judge last week ordered him removed from the country. He cannot return to the U.S. for 10 years.

Good weather predicted for skiers The National Weather Service said a weekend storm could dump more than a foot of snow in the Cascades, and as much as 30 inches in some areas. A winter storm watch said the storm is forecast to begin Friday night and continue through Saturday night. The Seattle Times reported the heaviest snow is expected at Mount Baker and Mount Rainier. Forecasters say lighter snow may also fall on Sunday and colder weather is expected next week in the Puget Sound area, with low temperatures dropping into the 20s on Monday and Tuesday.

Reservations to begin in San Juan ferries Starting Jan. 5, riders will be able to reserve a spot on the San Juan ferry sailing from Anacortes, Friday Harbor and Orcas Island. The Seattle Times reported ferry officials hope the new reservation system will reduce waits and long lines at the ferry terminals and encourage people to take off-peak runs. The system has already begun taking reservations for ferry service that begins on Jan. 5. Most of the spots on every ferry run have been set aside for people who make a reservation.

Hoping to resume train for Seahawks Sound Transit hopes to resume Sounder train service north of Seattle in time for Sunday’s Seahawks game. Passenger train service was halted between Everett and Seattle’s King Street station for 48 hours because of a mudslide on Wednesday. In the meantime, Sound Transit is running buses between Everett and Seattle for the Friday commute. Sounder trains between Seattle and Lakewood are running on the regular schedule.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■THE HERALD

Happy memories warm lonely holiday After spending many Christmases with my family in California, I decided to stay home here in Everett. This was due to the Seahawks schedule. Thursday morning, upon reading through the paper, I came across Andrea Brown’s article on Christmas memories. I just finished reading it. Full of emotions, I felt compelled to openly express my gratitude to the Daily Herald, and all the folks at the paper who helped me get through a Christmas spent alone. Unless the Super Bowl is played on Dec. 25, I will be back home with family come next season. Thank you, Andrea! Vince Taylor Everett

Dedicated crew kept responders fed As I read and enjoy the articles in The Herald about all the volunteers who helped during the Oso slide disaster, I am reminded of the unheralded Oso women and their volunteers. Perhaps no one realizes that these women fed first responders and grieving family members from day one. Within hours of the slide, the fire hall kitchen was turned into a place to get coffee and sandwiches, cookies and much more. Later that day, vats of homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles were donated by a local woman. In the cold, wet days to follow, the men and women would come from the slide in shifts during the day — they just wanted some of that hot soup! Fire Chief Willy Harper appointed Auxiliary member Kelly M. to organize the volunteers and all the food and supplies being delivered to feed the responders. She scheduled three shifts a day, of six women for each shift. They started work at 5:30 a.m. and often ended at 9:30 p.m. Organizing this was a monumental job, but thanks to Kelly and her volunteers, over 150 first responders and family members were fed every day with breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus any snack they wanted. Our Fire Hall kitchen is quite small, so this was not easy. We could not have done this without the tons of food donated by businesses from far and wide, as well as food donated by Oso families. We were actually feeding soup to the men monitoring the Whitman bridge on day two, when the soup ladies arrived! They were a little shocked that hot soup was being ladled out of the back of a car to the men. They asked, and were given samples of clam chowder and vegetable soup! They then gave us soup spoons to use for the future. Many people came to help the Auxiliary women accomplish the feeding of the many. God bless the woman who cleaned the kitchen floor every day, and the man who came from the Duvall area and cooked breakfast starting at 5:30 a.m. And the employees of the Medallion Hotel who filled hundreds of Easter eggs for the annual

■■KINDNESS

Belated ‘thank you’ to off-duty officer I am writing this letter a year late, but given the current news, it is still very timely. Last year my husband and I arrived home late on a winter’s evening. While we were out, it had snowed heavily. Our home is at the top of a steep hill, and our car couldn’t make it up because of the ice. While we were deciding how to make it up the slippery road, a man and wife out enjoying a walk in the snow came up to our car. Seeing that we were an older couple, the man offered to help us walk up the hill — he helped my husband first, then came back and helped me. I found out that he was an offduty Everett police officer, who lived here in Mukilteo. I didn’t get his name to write him a thank you note, so am writing this as a belated “Thank you.” I hope he sees this and remembers the incident. In light of all the horrible things being said about our police in this country, I think we all should show more appreciation to our police and the work they do. God bless them all. Loretta Bolduan Mukilteo

■■WILDERNESS

Grateful to state’s land champions As a resident of Index, a grandmother and lifelong outdoor enthusiast, I am overjoyed to see Congress expand protections for Alpine Lakes, Ilabot Creek, and the Middle Fork Snoqualmie and Pratt rivers. Approval for these conservation gains brings the Evergreen State it’s first new Wilderness since the Wild Sky, which has been a significant boon to the economies surrounding U.S. 2. While the legislative package included some legislative compromise, our local heroes made sure that our state protects wild places for generations to come. This result represents

tremendous work by Washington Rep. Suzan DelBene and Sen. Patty Murray, who have protected some of the most incredible wild forests and rivers Washington has to offer. These amazing environmental champions managed to increase wilderness in Alpine Lakes as well as add 34 miles to Middle Fork Snoqualmie and Pratt rivers to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. These lands are spectacular, and their true, lasting value depends on keeping them public and wild. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Rep. DelBene and Sen. Murray, leaders who will be remembered for their wild legacy. Susan Cross Index

■■HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

Playing Santa full of memories Twenty years ago, we first set up a tent in our yard and for one week Santa and I visited with neighbors, children and friends. Now we have a small house decorated and warm for us. However, with the population in the world growing, we had to cut Santa and Mrs. Claus’ visit to one day. This was a vacation from elves and reindeer and Santa’s chance to see you awake. Because Santa’s job gets longer each year, this was our last year to have him visit. The elves need Santa and Mrs. Claus at the North Pole. Santa and I would like to say thank you for the memories and taking the time to share your Christmas fun with us. We hope each Saturday before Christmas you might have a minute to remember us. Norma Rae and Brad Pilkenton Everett

■■MILL CREEK

Grateful for Bill Trimm’s vision As I stroll down the streets of Mill Creek’s Town Center, I also go down memory lane and wish once again to thank our then highly praised city Community Development Director Bill Trimm for making the Town Center happen! I am pleased to say at the time of Bill’s vision I was a planning commissioner and had the pleasure to work with this highly capable land use manager. Bill had more than his share of challenges, but due to his diverse abilities and knowledge, he was able to ward off distractions and focus on making Mill Creek become a major shopping destination. During my Town Center Christmas shopping sprees I often thought that for the current record I should make sure his leadership, knowledge, political and management skills and dream of having a Town Center is not lost in our city’s history. Thank you to Mr. Trimm for what he has done for the city and for his excellent land management input as a member of the state commissiont hat came up with recommendations in the aftermath of the Oso tragedy! His service for the “general good” is greatly appreciated. Chuck Wright Mill Creek

OTHER VOICES | The economy

With dollar strong, fix U.S. finances By The Orange County Register Editorial Board

espite a host of financial fears, the dollar is doing pretty well — relative to the rest of the global economy, at least. That’s no excuse, however, for policymakers to sit back and relax. We’ve got an opportunity to right the financial underpinnings of the economy before the dollar loses its precarious pride of place around the world. To be sure, it’s a pleasant surprise that we’re in as good shape as we are. Far in the rear-view mirror are last decade’s worries that the euro would become the best currency around. Today, America’s struggles pale in comparison with Europe’s. If our allies are hurting, our adversaries are on even lessadvantageous ground. Russia’s

■■OSO VOLUNTEERS

ruble has plunged so precipitously that comparisons are being drawn to its first post-communist financial meltdown, in 1998. And China — although its economy is still running hot — has no basis from which to challenge American financial dominance. There are two important reasons for that. First, China’s massive holdings of U.S. Treasury bills require it to transition slowly away from the dollar-denominated financial system, if it is to do so at all. Switching to a different currency would require either the sudden dominance of a rival currency or the creation of a new one. And in almost all cases, whipping up a new currency isn’t a slowenough transition for China. There’s an exception, however. A new currency backed by a precious metal, such as gold, would introduce a radically different

alternative to the dollar. The dollar drives the energy economy — in its role as the so-called “petrodollar.” A rival metalbacked currency, set up by China and Russia, would draw the great interest of Iran, Pakistan and others, beginning a domino effect in Asia, Africa and elsewhere. But gold prices are in the tank. In part, because the big banks like it there; in part because the world’s financial health is worse than America’s. To keep it that way, we can’t count on others’ continued struggles. We have to clean up our own act — with real financial reform that deleverages the economy, disperses concentrated banking power and moves away from quantitative easing. Our golden opportunity to do so won’t last forever. This editorial appeared in the Dec. 24 Orange County Register.

WEEKLY FEATURE FROM THE

ADVERTISING

DEPARTMENT

WITH PETER G. MILLER peter@ctwfeatures.com

THE GLAMOUR OF GRAMMAR QUESTION: Why do newspapers insist on capitalizing the term “Realtor” when other similarly used nouns such as “appraiser,” “lender” and “borrower” are not capitalized?

ANSWER: In real estate we usually think in terms of houses and property, tangible assets that we can touch and feel. However, there also is something called “intellectual property,” where assets can be very real even though they lack a physical presence. The term “Realtor” is an example of intellectual property. Intellectual property broadly refers to creations of the human mind, such as trademarks, copyrights, service marks, literary works and symbols. Once an intellectual-property owner has staked out a claim their property can be protected from unauthorized use in the same way that only you have the right within applicable rules to determine how your property will be used, if you want it used at all. “A trademark,” says the World Intellectual Property Organization, “is a distinctive sign that identifies certain goods or services produced or provided by an individual or a company.” It adds that “the system helps consumers to identify and purchase a product or service based on whether its specific characteristics and quality – as indicated by its unique trademark – meet their needs.” A major problem with intellectual property is that ownership rights can slip away if a term is used in a generic manner. Expressions in the U.S. such as “elevator,” “aspirin,” “laundromat,” “thermos” and “videotape” were once copyrighted but are now regarded as generic. In a similar sense, the owner of real property can lose their right of exclusive usage with an “easement by prescription,” a situation where unauthorized usage meets certain conditions and continues over time. To protect their rights intellectual property owners engage lots of lawyers to vigorously protect such things as trademarks and copyrights, and this brings us to “Realtor,” a term owned by the National Association of Realtors. One of the major purposes of a trademark is to create marketplace distinctions. Real estate “brokers” are licensed by state regulators, but only NAR members may describe themselves as a ‘Realtor.” Thus, it is possible for Smith to be a licensed real estate broker but not a Realtor, while Jones with NAR membership might be both a licensed broker and a Realtor. Why then do media outlets not use the term “Realtor” with a trademark symbol? If you think about traditional print media such as newspapers, books and magazines you can see that trademark and copyright symbols scattered repeatedly throughout blocks of type would make reading difficult. Thus, the standard in journalism is not to use such symbols, a tradition which has carried over to electronic media. The result of assorted rules and traditions is that reporters write about both “brokers” and “Realtors” in an effort to respect intellectual property claims while at the same time producing content in an accepted style that is both easy to read and absorb.

STRATEGIES FOR STAYING PUT IN RETIREMENT FOR THOSE PLANNING TO AGE IN PLACE IN THEIR CURRENT HOME, IT’S ESSENTIAL TO MAKE ENSURE THE HOME IS PROPERLY AND SAFELY OUTFITTED FOR THEIR LATER YEARS By ERIK J. MARTIN

them, they’re still working longer and need to stay close to their jobs, they can’t afford to move, and/or they feel more comfortThe older we get, the more able in their familiar environresistant to change we usually ment. become. That’s a big reason why “The big advantage of aging many seniors choose to “age in place,” living out their remaining in place is that it’s likely more years in their current homes. But affordable than purchasing or renting anew, especially if your doing so safely and comfortably isn’t always so easy, which is why intention is not to downsize,” says Natalie J. Frazier, agent with this option should be planned Fenwick Keats Real Estate in New carefully, say the experts. A recent survey by the Demand York. “The big disadvantage is that your home or neighborhood Institute, a nonprofit organimay not be suitable for your life zation that studies consumer behavior, found that 63 percent of as an older individual.” Consequently, seniors who Baby Boomers do not anticipate moving from their current home plan to age in place need to be proactive by making necessary (of which 62 percent of those home modifications. The first polled have lived in for at least a decade). Further, three-fourths of step in that process is to declutter. “Accumulated belongings that respondents indicated that their residences are places they can re- are no longer relevant often get main in as they get older, despite in the way in terms of safety and space,” says Lauren Silverman, the reality that many of these president of MOREganized in abodes lack low-maintenance Glenview, Illinois. “Furniture and easy accessibility features. Among the reason seniors may and belongings should not be positioned in ways that impede typically choose to stay put because they have grown children/ movement, and items used daily should be stored in easy-to-reach grandchildren who have boomeranged back home to live with places.”

Next, the home should be assessed for needed convenience and accessibility upgrades. Chris Donatelli, owner of Donatelli Builders in Geneva, Illinois, recommends the following remodeling projects: • Step-free entry • Wider doorways and halls – minimum of 60 inches to be wheelchair-amenable – with barrier-free flow between rooms, especially the bathroom. • Master bedroom suite located on the first level, if it’s a multilevel home. • Remodeled bathroom with stand-up shower or walk-in tub, detachable showerheads, grab bars and handrails. • Simpler operability of sinks, hardware and appliance controls, such as single-lever faucets, pullloops on cabinets/drawers. • Open space beneath sinks for wheelchair use. • Appliances mounted in the wall or located in drawers to avoid bending • Non-slip, low-maintenance flooring (e.g., solid vinyl/rubber, cork, or hardwood) • Lower countertops, appli-

ances and cabinets for easier reach, but raised base cabinets to accommodate wheelchair foot rests • Smarter storage, including pullout drawers and counters, slide-out shelves, and rollout cabinets • Bright task lighting in kitchen and office areas. • Countertop, flooring and backsplash materials with colors that contrast for greater visibility. While many of these projects can be costly, “keep in mind that it’s much more cost-effective to do a custom remodel than build a new home,” Donatelli says. Lastly, it’s important to consult with loved ones on your decision to age in place and to get their approval and assistance, Terry Martin-Back, broker associate with Exit Realty Producers in Gainesville, Florida. “They should have family or friends support them in this process,” says Martin-Back. “Allowing seniors to have their independence, if they’re capable of living independently, will create a healthier environment for everyone involved.”

TRENDS

NAR’s chief economist, metros with a strong local economy, sufficient housing supply and low cost of living are set to see an increase in buying activity, as the share of men and women working past age 65 has increased. “A broadly improving economy and rebounding home prices are giving baby boomers the opportunity to sell and move to support their retirement lifestyle,” Yun said in a statement. “Furthermore, our research identified cities movers are gravitating to while remaining in the work force as a business owner.” The NAR analyzed 100 metro areas that have low state taxes, robust job market conditions and strong migration patterns of baby

boomers to that area to determine which markets are likely to see a boost from boomer buying activity. The top market position to see an increase of boomer buyers are (alphabetically): • Albuquerque, New Mexico • Boise, Idaho • Denver • Fort Myers, Florida • Greenville, South Carolina • Orlando, Florida • Phoenix • Raleigh, North Carolina • Sarasota, Florida • Tucson, Arizona According to the NAR, boomers represent 30 percent of all buyers, with a median income of $92,400 and purchased homes that cost $210,000.

CREEKWALK, MARYSVILLE - NOW OPEN! 5634 147th PL NE, Marysville Community #2: Priced from the $260s

Duncan. “It gives buyers a great feeling to know they are minimizing their environmental footprint.” Besides the great new homes, the best part of CreekWalk is its location. It’s just minutes away from fabulous dining and shopping opportunities at the Seattle Premium Outlets and Lakewood Crossing shopping centers. It’s also conveniently close to great entertainment and first class dining at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

CreekWalk is a new 65-home neighborhood located in North Marysville. These homes are adjacent to Strawberry Fields Park, with over 72 acres of sports facilities, trails, picnic areas, and even an off leash dog park all accessed by a dedicated walkway from the community. “We have experienced a lot of excitement at CreekWalk,” said David Duncan, listing agent for the community. “It has that hard to find balance of style, location and value that people love.” Homes in CreekWalk range from 1,821 to 3,399 square feet in three, four, five and even six bedroom configurations. There are 16 exciting new floor plans to choose from along with hundreds of customizable options available for buyers to put their own finishing touches on a new home. Buyers can also take advantage of the new Pacific Ridge Online Home Design Studio where they can browse all of the interior and exterior options available to put their own unique touches on their home. This community is also one of the first of its kind in the area to utilize low impact development standards. This land planning and engineering design takes advantage of on-site natural features to protect water quality and keep storm water as close to its source as possible to minimize the environmental effects of runoff. “The adjacent creeks that run alongside the neighborhood allowed us to build to these new standards,” said

Standard features on every home include granite kitchen counter tops, extensive hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, birch kitchen cabinetry with concealed hinges, tile counter tops in the master bath, and chrome Moen and Olympia faucets, and high-efficiency forced air natural gas furnaces with programmable thermostats. Homes in CreekWalk start in the $200’s and there are currently 9 new homes available for quick move-in. Pacific Ridge just announced their new “AMAYZING” sales event, which includes up to $10,000 in personalized incentives on select quick move-in homes. Buyers can choose to use the incentive money toward closing costs, a lower monthly payment, increased buying power, or other options/appliances.

here’s a new community of Pacific Ridge Homes in Marysville with a great new sales incentive now available to buyers.

“Couple a great community with up to $10,000 in personal incentives, and it all adds up to great new homes for area buyers at CreekWalk,” said Duncan. The sales office is open from 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Other times are available by appointment. Driving directions are available at www.pacificridgehomes.com.

Silvertips looking to maintain their success Everett finished first half atop U.S. Division By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

TONIGHT’S GAME

Vancouver at Everett, 7:05 p.m. Radio: KRKO (1380 AM)

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips had a fine first half to the 2014-15 Wesern Hockey League

season. But Tips general manger Garry Davidson doesn’t intend to settle for “fine.” His sights are aimed a tad higher. The second half of the season begins Saturday night when Everett plays host to the Vancouver Giants at Xfinity Arena, and Davidson is looking for big things from his team the rest of the way.

“We want to keep going along with how we’ve been doing,” Davidson said Thursday. “We want to keep winning at a similar rate and win the U.S. Division.” Everett, which resumes play Saturday following a nine-day break, finished the first half 20-93-1 and in first place in the U.S. Division with 44 points, three points ahead of second-place

Portland (with three games in hand) and five points ahead of third-place Spokane (same number of games played). “If you had told me we’d be 20-9-4 to start the season I would have been happy with that,” Davidson said. “We’re in first place in the U.S. Division and See SILVERTIPS, Page C6

Friday’s game was the first for Edmonds-Woodway since last Monday’s 63-50 home loss against Blanchet, which was a showdown of undefeated teams. It was a heartbreaking setback for the Warriors, who saw a lead slip away in the late minutes.

PROVO, Utah — Gonzaga’s past three trips to the Marriott Center have produced one victory, two losses and an indeterminate number of bruises. “It’s always one of the most physical games we play all year,” coach Mark Few said. The eighth-ranked Zags (11-1) have had a couple of days off and a couple of days to prepare for BYU (10-3) in the West Coast Conference opener for both teams.

No. 25 Gonzaga lost 73-65 last season, with Few noting afterward, “You had to have your helmet on and a couple of our guys didn’t.” Teams change every season, but the guard-driven Cougars continue to play fast and drill 3-pointers (9.2 per game).

The Monroe girls defeat Garfield 48-40 in the Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament, C3

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Coming off her team’s first loss of the season earlier in the week, not to mention Thursday’s Christmas holiday, Edmonds-Woodway girls basketball coach Rebecca Wells was hoping to see her team play well in Friday’s opener of the Mountlake Terrace Holiday

Tournament. As it turned out, she got all she hoped for and more. The Warriors scored the game’s first 11 points, had another scoring run of 22 consecutive points later in the opening period, and went on to defeat Lakewood 86-32 for their eighth victory in nine games this season. Behind the 28 points of 5-foot-10 guard-forward Natalie Kasper, a smooth shooting senior, Edmonds-Woodway punished the Cougars inside and outside.

Injury-challenged Seahawks offensive line has played well lately By John Boyle

Seattle left tackle Russell Okung (76) pass blocks against the Arizona Cardinals a year ago. Injuries have made it a challenging season for the Seahawks’s offensive line, which gets Okung back Sunday after he missed a game with a bruised lung. Starting center Max Unger is still injured.

Herald Writer

RENTON — It’s safe to say it’s been a challenging year for the Seattle Seahawks when it comes to offensive line health. Center Max Unger, a Pro Bowl player and the leader of Seattle’s line, has missed nine of 15 games with various injuries this season, and is questionable for Sunday’s game against St. Louis because of the high-ankle sprain that has caused him to miss the past five games. Left tackle Russell Okung,

meanwhile, is expected back after missing a game with a bruised lung, but has missed two games overall. Left guard James Carpenter missed three games earlier this season. In all, the Seahawks have used six different line combinations this season, and if Patrick Lewis again starts at center and Okung returns as expected, that would be a seventh. Between Unger, Lewis, Lemuel Jeanpierre and Stephen Schilling, who is now on injured reserve, the Seahawks have had four different players start at least

three games at center, one of the most important positions on offense. Yet for all the uncertainty, which will again be an issue in a very important season finale, the Seahawks are seeing improvement in their line play of late. After allowing seven sacks to Arizona in a home game last month, the Seahawks gave up just one last weekend against the Cardinals despite Okung and Unger being out.

DECEMBER

Vancouver 7:05 p.m.

Chargers’ RB Mathews ruled out SAN DIEGO — Running back Ryan Mathews has been ruled out of San Diego’s game Sunday at Kansas City, which the Chargers must win to clinch a wild-card berth. Mathews will miss his third straight game with what’s believed to be a high ankle sprain. He was hurt during a home loss to New England on Dec. 7. Also ruled out on Friday was punter Mike Scifres, who broke his left collarbone in the loss to New England.

Shaw will start for Browns at QB BEREA, Ohio — Rookie quarterback Connor Shaw will come off Cleveland’s practice squad and start the season finale on Sunday against Baltimore. With Brian Hoyer still slowed by a sore right throwing shoulder, Shaw will be behind center when the Browns (7-8) conclude another disappointing season against the Ravens, who still have a shot at the playoffs. “I’m excited about it,” Shaw said following practice. “It was a good week of practice and I had a lot of support from coaches and teammates and I’m confident going into this game with the game plan. We’ll see what happens on Sunday.” An undrafted free agent, Shaw is the third quarterback to start for the Browns this season and the 22nd for the franchise since 1999. Hoyer starter Cleveland’s first 13 games before being benched and rookie Johnny Manziel was placed on injured reserve this week after injuring his hamstring last weekend at Carolina in his second start.

QB conundrum continues

Lindley back as Arizona’s starter after Thomas practices poorly; Stanton has surgery to treat infection in hurt knee Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. — More news surrounding the turbulent quarterback predicament of the Arizona Cardinals. Ryan Lindley is back as the starter, and Drew Stanton has been treated for an infection in his sprained right knee, a setback in his attempt to return for the playoffs. Coach Bruce Arians initially said rookie Logan Thomas would start in Sunday’s regularseason finale at San Francisco. But he said Friday he changed his mind based on Thomas’ performances in practice. “I was hoping that he (Thomas) was going to be able to handle it,” Arians said, “but it’s not the time right now.” Stanton, who has missed the past two games, experienced swelling in his knee on Wednesday. Arthroscopic surgery was performed Wednesday night to flush out the knee and treat it with antibiotics. Arians wouldn’t talk about the infection, but said Stanton remains “on schedule for next week.” “He’s at home and will stay there and rehab over the weekend and be ready to go next

week, hopefully,” Arians said. Thomas, a fourth-round draft pick from Virginia Tech, would have been Arizona’s fourth starting quarterback of the season. Arians had said the rookie would have a very short “hook,” and that turned out to be true. He was removed from the starting job after one practice. “The ball wasn’t in spots it needed to be,” Arians said. “He was throwing it well, but not to the right guys. He just hasn’t had enough reps to be able to go against this defense, which is one of the best five defenses in the National Football League. It was probably a poor decision on my part to early announce it. ... We’ll do what we need to do to win the football game and that’s to start Ryan.” Arizona (11-4) still has an outside chance to win the NFC West, but St. Louis would have to beat the Seahawks in Seattle while the Cardinals win at San Francisco. Oddsmakers expect neither to occur. The Rams are 121⁄2point underdogs in Seattle, the 49ers a 61⁄2-point pick over Arizona. The most likely outcome would have the Cardinals the No. 5 seed with a first-round

playoff game at either Carolina or Atlanta. Lindley, signed off the San Diego practice squad after Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, started last Sunday night at Seattle and was unimpressive. The third-year quarterback from San Diego State completing 18 of 44 passes for 216 yards in the Cardinals’ 35-6 loss. For the second straight game, Arizona didn’t score a touchdown. Lindley has the dubious NFL record of most passes without a touchdown (225). Arians said the offense’s woes were not all Lindley’s fault, citing dropped passes and penalties. Lindley, the coach said, “did not go out and lose the ballgame.” A running game would certainly help. After rushing for a combined 175 yards the previous two games, Kerwynn Williams gained 4 yards in two carries against Seattle. Arians said he expects the slashing running back to see more action against the 49ers. “That was kind of rough,” Williams said. “But I expect us to be better this week and try to get back on track.”

Seahawks: Carroll says O-line coach Cable has done ‘masterful job’ From Page C1

league-best 175.3 rushing yards per game, and while Russell Wilson played very well last week, as did his pass-catchers, a franchise-record 596 yards was also the result of a patchwork line doing a very good job against a dangerous front. “We were much improved,” Carroll said of his line’s performance against the Cardinals last week. “Obviously, we got sacked a bunch the first time around against those guys, so that improved. Plus, the yards rushing was a great statement coming through. I think the guys worked really well together — give a lot of credit to the coaches because they were making sure everyone was communicating against a very challenging front. We got that done and we handled it. We were better versed and cleaner in our communications.” The Seahawks will need to again be clean this week while facing a Rams defensive front

that has always given Seattle trouble. Since Russell Wilson took over at quarterback in 2012, he has been sacked 22 times in five games against St. Louis. If the Seahawks’ line can continue its improved play against a defense known to give them fits, a lot of the credit for that will go to offensive line coach/ assistant head coach Tom Cable, who has helped build a consistent rushing attack while improving the pass protection despite the players’ injuries. “He does a masterful job,” Carroll said. “It hasn’t been easy. We’ve had a lot of changes this year, I don’t know what the numbers are on that, but there’s been a lot of moving parts and he has commanded it really well for us.”

Injury report On Sunday, the Seahawks will be without starting receiver Jermaine Kearse, who injured his hamstring in last weekend’s game, as well as defensive end Demarcus Dobbs, who is still recovering from an an-

kle injury that kept him out of the past two games. In addition to Unger, tight end Cooper Helfet (rib), receiver Chris Matthews (hamstring) and cornerback Tharold Simon (shoulder) are questionable. All three practiced Friday, indicating they have a shot for Sunday’s game, and all will be game-day decisions, Carroll said. Tight end Tony Moeaki, who missed last week’s game with a shoulder injury, is probable, as are running back Marshawn Lynch (back) and Okung.

Defender released The Seahawks released defensive tackle Travian Robertson Friday, though they aren’t expected to fill that roster spot before Sunday’s game. With a relatively healthy roster, a player added this late in the week likely wouldn’t be active on game day anyway, so there isn’t much difference between filling that spot Saturday or next week. Robertson, who was signed off of Atlanta’s practice squad in November, appeared in one game, his first after coming to Seattle, then was inactive in each of the past four games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith thought he had some indigestion. It turned out to be a lacerated spleen. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs will put their already slim playoff hopes in the hands of career backup Chase Daniel, who will make his second-ever start Sunday against San Diego. The Chiefs need to beat the Chargers and hope that Baltimore loses to Cleveland and Houston gets beat by Jacksonville to reach the postseason for the second straight year. San Diego needs only Alex Smith to defeat its longtime AFC West rival to get back to the playoffs — and now faces a second-string quarterback. “The guys have a lot of trust in Chase,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said shortly after Friday’s practice. “Our heart goes out to Alex. It’s not something he wanted to happen. He wanted to be out there. But the guys know Chase. They’re comfortable with him.” Daniel should be comfortable facing the Chargers, too. Last season, the Chiefs (8-7) had already locked up their playoff seed before their regular-season finale in San Diego. Reid rested his starters and Daniel made his first NFL start, playing well in an overtime loss that allowed the Chargers to squeak into the playoffs. Smith is expected to miss about six weeks, Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said, though his age and fitness level could shorten that timeframe. The Chiefs would need to make the playoffs and then likely advance all the way to the Super Bowl for him to return this season. “I didn’t know what to make of it,” Smith said. “Once you start hearing how serious it is, obviously yeah, you know the implications as far as not playing — that’s the last thing you want to hear. At the same time, you’re not crazy.”

ST. LOUIS — Lamarcus Joyner has had an up-and-down season. The Rams’ rookie cornerback is hoping it ends more on an up note. Joyner, the 41st overall pick in the draft, will see action Sunday in St. Louis’ finale against Seattle

because fellow rookie cornerback E.J. Gaines is listed as doubtful with a concussion. Gaines, a sixth-round selection, got hurt last week against the New York Giants. He has not practiced this week. In eight games, Joyner has 44 tackles, including a season-high 11 against Kansas City. Joyner also

has three pass breakups and one quarterback pressure. However, he was set back by a groin injury in the Rams’ Nov. 9 loss to Arizona. Joyner is ready to test himself against the Seahawks. “That’s the nature of the game,” Joyner said. “You’ve got to make the most of your opportunities.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL | Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament

FRIDAY | Scoreboard

Monroe rallies, knocks off Garfield Herald staff

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Monroe girls basketball team held Garfield to just six points in the fourth quarter to earn a 48-40 victory Friday in the Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament. Monroe trailed by three points with three minutes remaining but switched to a zone defense to slow down Garfield’s Juanita Agosto, who finished with a game-high 23 points. The switch helped the Bearcats rally and earn their fifth victory of the season. “We played good man-to-man defense on (Agosto) but she was still able to get to the rim,” Monroe head coach Matt Chalfant said. “We went to our zone defense that last three minutes and forced them to shoot jump shots.” Amber Van Brunt and Alex Alexander led a balanced Monroe scoring attack with 11 and 10 points, respectively. A total of six players scored six or more points for the Bearcats. “We told the girls it was going to be huge to limit Garfield’s possessions, so we wanted to limit it to a

half-court game,” Chalfant said. “We were able to get the shots that we wanted and be selfless.” The Bearcats face Inglemoor, which defeated Stanwood on Friday and is ranked No. 2 in the Seattle Times 4A poll, at 5:15 p.m Saturday. “After today, we know we can win close games against quality opponents,” Chalfant said. “I think that will spring us forward into tomorrow.”

Inglemoor 56, Stanwood 31 MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Despite being without one of its best players — 6-foot-5 senior post Deja Strother, who’s bound for the University of Washington women’s team next season — Inglemoor showed why it’s one of the state’s top Class 4A girls basketball teams, besting Stanwood 56-31 Friday at the Mountlake

BOYS BASKETBALL

Terrace Holiday Tournament. Inglemoor spotted Stanwood the game’s first two points, then quickly moved in front. For much of the second quarter and all of the third and fourth periods the lead remained in double digits. The Vikings, members of the KingCo 4A, scored 21 of their 32 first-half points from the 3-point line. Forward Alex Hagen, a 6-1 senior who will play next season at San Diego, had four 3-pointers in the first half and another in the second, on her way to a game-high 24 points. “They’re an excellent team,” Stanwood coach Dennis Kloke said of the Vikings. “And in all truth, we don’t have anyone who matches up with (Hagen). She can do everything. No wonder everybody wanted her. She can shoot threes, she can drive, and she can post up.” Stanwood trailed 24-15 two minutes before halftime, but Inglemoor got two 3-pointers as part of an 8-2 scoring burst to lead by 15 points at the break. And in the third quarter the Vikings opened with an 11-1 spurt to push their margin to 43-18. Despite the loss, the Spartans are 7-2 and “we’re progressing,” Kloke said. Stanwood was led by post Tristan Murphy with 16 points, including 11 in the first half. Strother missed the game because she is visiting family on the East Coast for the Christmas holiday.

Warriors: Four E-W players score in double figures From Page C1

“It’s nice to come off the Blanchet game and get a good win,” Wells said. “Everyone got some playing time and everyone got to score. ... Defensively it seemed like we were sometimes a little sluggish with our feet, but overall we were pretty good.” In addition to Kasper, the Warriors had three other players score in double figures. Moni Jackson had 13 points,

Mady Burdett added 11 and Claire Fyfe chipped in 10. The game highlighted one of the strengths for the Warriors this season, which is their “unselfish nature,” Wells said. “On this team anybody can have a good game and score a lot of points, and we’ve had different scoring leaders. ... As long as we’re ahead or in the game, they don’t really focus too much on who’s scoring the points.”

Edmonds-Woodway has won convincingly this season — seven of the team’s eight victories have been by 23 or more points, and four have been by 37 or more points — but there are challenging games ahead. After playing Redmond tonight in their second game of the Mountlake Terrace tournament, the Warriors face top Wesco 3A contenders Arlington, Lynnwood and Glacier Peak in January, all in the space of nine days and all on the road.

“We have some really good teams coming up (on the schedule),” Wells said, “so we’re getting ready for that. But I think we’re doing really well. There’s some things we can be more consistent on, but overall I see us improving … and we can only get better.” After a slow start, Lakewood battled gamely the rest of the way. Marissa Blair led the Cougars in scoring with 11 points, including three 3-pointers.

N.C. State tops Central Florida in Bitcoin Bowl Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — North Carolina State took another step forward in its turnaround under coach Dave Doeren with a strong performance in the Bitcoin Bowl. Jacoby Brissett threw for 262 yards and one touchdown and Matt Dayes scored on runs of 24 and 15 yards to help the Wolfpack beat Central Florida 34-27 on Friday night at Tropicana Field. Brissett tossed a 37-yard TD pass to Johnathan Alston to put the Wolfpack (8-5) ahead for good in the second quarter. Running back Shadrach Thornton got NC State going early with an 18-yard scoring pass to Jaylen Samuels. UCF (9-4) began the night ranked in the top 10 in fewest yards allowed per game, as well as pass efficiency, rushing and scoring defense. But American Athletic Conference co-champions had no answers for

Brissett and a supporting cast that amassed 488 yards of total offense — over 200 more than opponents averaged against the Knights during the regular season. Brissett was 15-of-26 with no interceptions, completing passes to eight receivers. Thornton rushed for 96 yards on 17 carries and Dayes finished with 78 yards on 13 attempts to key a ground attack that produced 188 yards.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | Notebook

Georgia coach Richt says RB Gurley heading to NFL Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Georgia running back Todd Gurley has informed coach Mark Richt that he plans to enter the NFL draft. Richt said after practice Friday for the Belk Bowl that Gurley won’t return for his senior season. The 13th-ranked Bulldogs face No. 20 Louisville on Tuesday. The news doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Gurley was a preseason Heisman Trophy candidate and got off to a strong start, but a fourgame suspension and a knee injury derailed a promising season. The 6-foot-1, 236pound Gurley ran for 911 yards and nine touchdowns in six games this season, averaging 7.4 yards per carry. Gurley was suspended four games in October by the NCAA for taking $3,000 for autographed memorabilia and other items over two years. In Gurley’s first game back against Auburn, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, ending his season.

PITTSBURGH — Pat Narduzzi is the next man up at Pittsburgh. The Panthers officially announced the longtime Michigan State defensive coordinator as their new coach Friday. Narduzzi replaces Paul Chryst, who left Pitt last week after three seasons to become the coach at Wisconsin.

WVU QB Trickett retiring

Bucks 107, Hawks 77

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — West Virginia senior quarterback Clint Trickett is retiring from football because of concussions and won’t play in the Liberty Bowl on Monday against Texas A&M. Trickett said that he had endured five concussions over the last 14 months. “It would be dangerous for me to be out there,” Trickett said. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen indicated that Trickett wasn’t cleared to play in the bowl game and that sophomore Skyler Howard would start at quarterback for the Mountaineers against Texas A&M.

one by a WCC player since Pepperdine’s Doug Christie in 1991. Cougars forward Nate Austin tore his hamstring during pregame warmups Dec. 10 so freshman forward Isaac Neilson has started the past three games. The Zags seemingly have a big frontcourt edge with Kyle Wiltjer (16.8 ppg, 56.1 percent FG), Przemek Karnowski (10.1 ppg, 53.5 percent) and Domas Sabonis (10.9 ppg, 72.5 percent). “They come at you with such a pace,” Few said. “They play so fast and so free. The shots they take, it just takes a while to get used to. They also come at you different ways on defense, kind of never guarding you straight up, collapsing on you, reaching, poking. They play extremely hard.” Coach Dave Rose has led BYU to nine consecutive 20-win seasons and nine straight postseason appearances (seven NCAAs, two NITs). Under Rose, the Cougars are 137-13 (91.3 percent) at home.

we’ve managed to score a few more goals than I thought we would do. For the most part, our first half was quite positive. “The other thing I was pleased with, and Kevin (Constantine, Everett’s head coach) and the staff are also happy with, is the leadership group,” Davidson added. “Kohl Bauml, Brayden Low, Ben Betker and even the rest of the veteran guys have shown real leadership, which is positive.” Everett also has received a good return on its blockbuster trade from the start of the season. The Tips acquired gifted playmaker Nikita Scherbak from Saskatoon in exchange for a substantial package that included first- and second-round bantam picks and young goaltender Nik Amundrud. Scherbak hasn’t disappointed. The Russia native, who turns 19 Tuesday, leads the team in scoring with 42 points (15 goals, 27 assists) in 27 games. “The Scherbak trade gave us a legitimate big-time offensive player,” Davidson said. “Our offense goes through Nikita for the most part. He’s delivering.” The one thing that concerned Davidson during the first half was the team’s difficulty in holding third-period leads. “I guess the only thing was there were some nights where we got a lead and sat on it,” Davidson said. “We got away with it some nights, but it came back and bit us on other nights. Hopefully it’s not a pattern, it’s important to still look to score a goal or two more. There have been discussions with the staff, and they’ve talked to the players about it, too.” Everett has a guarantee to season-ticket holders this season of finishing no worse than fourth in the Western Conference — the Tips currently sit in second. Otherwise, those who signed up two years ago will receive a $100 credit toward next season’s tickets. But Davidson isn’t motivated by the guarantee. He’s motivated to try to win Everett’s first banner since 2007. “We want to finish No. 1 in the U.S. Division and have home-ice advantage in first two rounds of

the playoffs,” Davidson said. Davidson said he’s willing to do his part to help the team achieve that goal. The Tips played well when they were relatively healthy during the season’s first two months. Everett then suffered some injuries, and the team’s results leveled off, indicating the team could use some added depth. Davidson acknowledged the Tips were involved in the race to acquire star defensemen Josh Morrissey from Prince Albert — he was eventually traded to Kelowna. Davidson said he was still actively seeking to strengthen the team prior to the Jan. 10 trade deadline, with an additional topsix forward likely a priority. However, he also said landing an impact player could be difficult. There’s a limited number of sellers at this point, and the Tips burned a lot of resources in acquiring Scherbak. “Between now and Jan. 10 I’d still like to strengthen the team in certain positions,” Davidson said. “But the market looks really foggy right now. There’s not a lot of teams selling. “I’ve talked to teams about high-end players, but it’s one thing to talk and another to make something happen,” Davidson added. “I want to stay with our philosophy of building through the draft and we’ve already traded away a first and a second, so I’m not excited about giving up other top picks. I’ll try to do it another

way, but that’s very difficult. Maybe we’ll have to be patient and ride it out this season.” The first month following the break could be the make-or-break stretch of the season for Everett. The Tips play at home Saturday, then hit the road for 12 of their next 14 games. That includes both of Everett’s long road trips — a six-game eastern swing through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, followed by a four-game stretch in northern B.C. against Prince George and Kelowna. “We’ve been a pretty good road team,” said Davidson, whose team is 9-4-0-1 away from Xfinity Arena. “But it is a tough schedule, January is certainly a difficult month for us. We’ll need a good concentrated team effort through the month to continue our success.”

Slap shots The break seems to have served the Tips well with regards to health. Defensemen Ben Betker (concussion) and Tristen Pfiefer (upper body), who both missed time at the end of the first half because of injuries, are expected to be available for Saturday’s game. That means winger Logan Aasman (upper body) remains the only player expected to be unavailable. … Vancouver, Everett’s opponent Saturday, was the hottest team in the league when the Christmas break arrived, having won seven straight. The Giants are 6-0 since Claude Noel took over as head coach. Check out Nick Patterson’s Silvertips blog at http://www.heraldnet. com/silvertipsblog, and follow him on Twitter at @NickHPatterson.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Jersey Devils head coach Pete DeBoer watches the action during a game against the Washington Capitals in November. The Devils fired DeBoer on Friday.

New Jersey Devils fire coach Pete DeBoer Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. — The New Jersey Devils have been on a slide since going to the Stanley Cup final in 2012, and coach Pete DeBoer paid the price. DeBoer, who took the Devils to the championship round in his first season, was fired Friday, with his aging and short-handed team in danger of missing the playoffs for a third straight season. Lou Lamoriello, the Devils’ president and general manager, won’t say who will be the next coach until he speaks Saturday with the players, who are on a three-day Christmas break. The Devils will have a pregame skate at the Prudential Center on Saturday morning before playing the Rangers in New York that night. There are a number of potential candidates, including Adam Oates, a former Devils assistant; Dallas Eakins, who was fired earlier this month by Edmonton; and former Penguins coach Dan Bylsma. Lamoriello has hired a couple of former Montreal Canadiens coaches to lead New Jersey, and Jacques Martin has been in the press box to watch the Devils at their past three home games. He

was an assistant under Bylsma last season and was promoted to senior adviser of hockey operations. New Jersey has been hit with injuries in a 12-17-7 season. It has not won consecutive games since early last month, going 3-8-5 in its past 16. The Devils were missing six regulars to either injury or illness Tuesday night when they lost 2-1 in a shootout to the Carolina Hurricanes, the NHL’s second-worst team. DeBoer is the third NHL coach to be fired this season, following Eakins and Paul MacLean in Ottawa. He was 114-93-41 in his three-plus seasons with the Devils.

More Penguins have the mumps PITTSBURGH — Add forward Steve Downie and goaltender Thomas Greiss to the list of Pittsburgh Penguins dealing with the mumps. The team said Friday that both tested positive for the virus and will remain in isolation. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, forward Beau Bennett and defensemen Olli Maatta had previously been diagnosed with the virus that has hit several NHL teams. Crosby missed a week but has returned to play. Bennett and Maatta remain out with unrelated injuries.

Go for the snow

Snowshoeing is an inexpensive, fun way to get out in the winter By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

If you can hike, you can snowshoe. And it’s likely that you’ll love it just as much. Andy Boos, the Everett Parks and Recreation department’s snowshoe instructor and trip leader, can’t get enough of the winter sport. For five or six months each year, you can find him snowshoeing on trails near Mount Rainier and Mount Baker, on Hurricane Ridge, in the mountain passes, off the Mountain Loop Highway and over near Leavenworth. An avid hiker, Boos said his passion for snowshoeing began simply as a way to get where he wanted to go during the winter. He skis downhill and cross-country, but not as much anymore. Snowshoeing is less expensive than other winter sports and just as healthy, Boos said. “People have been figuring this out, and many of the people we take up into the mountains are repeat customers,” he said. “When Everett Parks and Rec first began offering

snowshoeing, we lined up just three trips that winter. The number quadrupled. Now we offer about 40 trips a season.” On Tuesday, Boos loaded up a city van at Forest Park with a group of new snowshoers and drove them to Snoqualmie Pass. On many easy, introductory tours led by Boos, the city offers free use of its collection of snowshoes. The goal is to get people outdoors. “It’s a challenge to stay active in the winter, especially when the daylight hours are few. People like to stay indoors in front of the TV,” Boos said. “It helps to commit to a snowshoe trip and get it on the calendar. Bring your hiking boots, sunglasses, fleece wear, a small backpack with water and snacks and you’re set.” Many of those who travel with Boos are middle-age women, but snowshoeing is great for anybody, especially for families. “We are very inclusive,” Boos said. “We really try to be flexible and focus on what people want and need — slow trips for beginners, strenuous trips for experienced snowshoers.” Most people who snowshoe say that a mile of snowshoeing

Jean Warren’s red snowshoes stomp across snow measuring at least four feet deep near Grace Lakes at Stevens Pass. The snowshoes feature spiky bottoms to provide more traction while ascending steeper slopes.

is like two miles of hiking. “I take people out on four- or five-hour trips and maybe we go a few miles,” he said. “Who cares if you traveled one mile or five miles? If you’ve been out in the snow, you got some exercise.” The U.S. Forest Service snowshoe hikes on winter weekends at Big Four and at Stevens Pass, though the schedule won’t be posted until after Jan. 5. The Stevens Pass trips focus on the history, flora and fauna along

the Pacific Crest Trail, from the 4,061-foot summit of the pass down the trail about a mile or so. Use of the Forest Service snowshoes is free. You pick up the easy-to-use plastic shoes with metal traction teeth at the old Forest Service guard station at the pass, where you get an introduction. A donation of $10 to $15 is suggested. Those who have not snowshoed before are encouraged

to take an introductory course, such as those offered by the city of Everett, the Forest Service, the Mountaineers or at REI at its Alderwood mall store. Boos offers a two-hour introductory course at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 5 in Lions Hall at Forest Park in Everett, and again at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 14 in Spruce Hall at the park. Cost is $9. The winter recreation staff at REI also welcome people to come in to the store with their budgets in mind, and idea of where they plan to snowshoe and what they want to get out of the sport. “The type of shoe and pole they need to rent or to buy also depends on their weight and whether or not they will travel in powder or packed snow,” an employee said. Once set up, a person can soon be floating across snow banks on most of the trails across the region’s National Parks and National Forests. It’s easy. Just like hiking, only with bigger feet.

Everett Parks and Recreation: Otherwise known as Alpine Andy, Andy Boos offers a long list of snowshoe classes and tours throughout the season, which goes to April. Introductory classes are $9, and trip fees range from $39 to $59 for adults, depending on the tour and location. A full list of what is offered is at tinyurl.com/prmqkbh, or call the parks office at 425-257-8300. Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest: The plans for this winter’s guided snowshoe tours have not yet been finalized or posted on the Forest Service website. After Jan. 5, go to www.fs.usda.gov/mbs and click on the link to winter recreation. Otherwise, call 360-677-2414, 360-436-1155 or 425-434-6111. Everett Mountaineers: A snowshoeing course begins Jan. 7 and includes two lectures and one field trip. The class covers proper equipment, conditioning, where to go, safe winter travel, route selection and more. After successfully completing the course, you’ll be eligible to go on Mountaineers snowshoe trips. Lectures are at 7 p.m. Jan. 7 and Jan. 21 at Evergreen Middle School, 7621 Beverly Lane, Everett. The field trip is on Jan. 24 at Stevens Pass. To register, go to www.mountaineers.org. Click on find courses and search for 28987. Registration is $60 for Mountaineers members/$80 for nonmembers.

It’s a cloudy winter day in the city. You’re headed to the mountains. Sunglasses and sunscreen are the last thing on your mind. Think again. Even on a cloudy day, ultraviolet light is intense on high-elevation ski slopes and snowshoe trails. And in bright light, with the sun reflecting off the snow, it doesn’t take much to get ultraviolet keratitis, commonly known as snow blindness. It’s like a sunburn of the cornea. You don’t notice it until several hours after exposure when you tear up at the painful, gritty way your eyes feel. The only way to avoid this is by using sunglasses or ski goggles. Andy Boos, who takes people up into the mountains on snowshoe journeys hosted by Everett Parks and Recreation, believes ski goggles are best. They don’t fall off and they offer the best protection, Boos said.

Dear Abby, 3

For very active cross-country skiers and snowshoers, the staff at REI suggests sunglasses rated for UV protection. For people who sweat, goggles fog up too easily. Good, polarized sunglasses can do the trick. Sunscreen protection also is a must for those outdoors during the winter, too. No matter if your cap is pulled low or your turtleneck pulled high, a zinc oxide sunscreen is a good idea. A popular brand available at places such as REI and Cabela’s is Sawyer Stay-Put SPF 50 sunscreen lotion for winter sports and high altitudes. And don’t forget the lip balm. Aloe Gator is a popular among people who enjoy winter sports. Go prepared and you’ll have a better time, Boos said. Gale Fiege, Herald staff

DAILY CROSSWORD

Don’t expect thanks from stepkids Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My partner’s children (15 and 18) ignored my birthday for the second year in a row — even though we just hosted a large birthday party for one of them at our house. (They live mostly with the other parent, because of school location). Our six-year relationship is generally good; I do not act parental or interfere, however they know they can rely upon my being there for them, sometimes in ways their parent is not. I am feeling hurt and cannot tell if it was deliberate rejection or just major unconsciousness. Ought I or their parent confront them about it? — Stepparent No, please don’t. It never advances the cause of a thankless job to go around seeking thanks. Just keep investing in the things that matter to their well-being, with the understanding that their stability is your reward. And, be proactive: “I’m taking everyone out to [favorite family treat here] for my birthday.” No veiled agenda or guilting! Shared, generalized joy beats waiting for joy to show up. Re: Stepchildren: Many, many adolescent

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT children are pretty oblivious about their parents’ birthdays, step- or otherwise. Considering the emotional lives of adults is just not on their radar at that age. If you want them to be involved somehow in acknowledging your birthday, you need to get your partner to do some of the orchestrating: “Hey, let’s do X next weekend to celebrate my birthday.” That’s assuming you can find a time when everyone is free — if they are anything like my teenagers, they are busy. — Anonymous Sounds right, thanks. Dear Carolyn: My stepdad was moved to endof-life inpatient hospice care last night after seven years of debilitating terminal illness, and I’m going back to my hometown (several hundred miles) tomorrow morning.

Dear Abby: Is nitpicking a poor trait to have? I see it as a positive thing as long as matters are brought up in a helpful way. If you want a healthy relationship with the person you live with, isn’t it best to tell her what you think should be done and how? My girlfriend likes to take her socks off when she’s lying on the couch. They end up in the corner of the couch or on the floor. Also, dishes never get rinsed off, washed or put away. The sock thing is gross, and the dishes end up stinking or the food gets stuck on them. Also, the dishes sit in the strainer, not the cupboard. My girlfriend thinks I go overboard and bombard her with these suggestions. I’d like to know how you and your readers feel about nitpicking. — Likes Things Neat In Louisville Dear Likes Things Neat: I find it interesting that you used the term “nitpicking.” Is that what your girlfriend calls it when you tell her she’s doing something that bothers you? Nitpicking encompasses more than asking someone to pick up her socks or not leave the dishes in the sink or on the counter. There are few things that a neatnik finds more upsetting than living with someone who is disorganized. You and your girlfriend appear to have some very basic differences. If you’re planning to make this romance a lifelong commitment, I’m warning both of you in advance that you can’t change another person. Got it? Dear Abby: I’ve been doing my mother-in-law’s hair for the last seven years. I became very busy with clients and had her doublebooked in between clients because she wasn’t a paying customer.

around” and texted me that she decided to go to another hairdresser. I’m hurt and don’t understand why she wouldn’t communicate this to me directly so we could have worked something out. What’s the best way to handle this? — Hairdresser In California Dear Hairdressser: Talk with her directly. Tell her you received her text and the snub wasn’t intentional. One would think she’d realize you were doing her a favor by working her in, but if she can’t understand that, then perhaps it’s better she see another stylist. Dear Abby: My daughter calls me (hands-free) when she is driving in her car. We have lively conversations and I enjoy her calls. However, she is always either running errands or on her way to work when she calls. I can be in the middle of a sentence when she announces, “Oops, Mom, I’ve reached my destination. Gotta go. Love you!” Am I wrong to feel she is “fitting” me in? Or should I just be happy for the call? — A Mom In Connecticut Dear Mom: It may seem like your daughter is “fitting you in,” but at least she ends the conversations with an expression of love. If her schedule is busy, her drive time may be the optimum time for her to talk privately. So be happy — it’s better than never hearing from her at all. Universal Uclick

Pumpkins’ Corgan looks ahead LONDON (AP) — The Smashing Pumpkins are dead. Long live the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s fair to say lead singer Billy Corgan has an ambivalent relationship with his band — as well as with the music industry, the media, fellow musicians and his fans. “People say, ‘Are you going to break up the band?”’ Corgan said backstage before a recent London show. “What band is there to break up? There is no band.” Corgan may be the Pumpkins’ only remaining original member, but the non-band has just released its eighth studio album, “Monuments to an Elegy.” A slice of grungy pop-rock featuring guitarist Jeff Schroeder, who joined the

NEW YORK — Up for a good long listen? Check out the Associated Press’ top albums of 2014 list: 1. “In the Lonely Hour,” Sam Smith: Sam Smith’s songs, anchored by his piercing voice, had the power to make you cry, smile, shiver and even dance. 2. “2014 Forest Hills Drive,” J. Cole: The insanely talented rapper captures so much on his third album, tackling various topics from losing his virginity to growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina to contemporary rappers, who should take note. 3. “LP1,” FKA twigs: The English singer’s soft vocals layered over weird beats make this 10-track set a must listen, thanks to addictive tracks like “Two Weeks,” “Numbers” and

Pumpkins in 2007, and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, it’s received good reviews Billy Corgan — though not good enough for Corgan. “There’s no way this is a three-out-of five record,” he said, grumbling about one newspaper’s assessment. You might think that sounds a bit thin-skinned for the man behind two best-selling 1990s albums — “Siamese Dream” and “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” — now regarded as classics. Corgan is an icon of ’90s American indie rock, perhaps second only to his late friend Kurt Cobain.

Swaddled in a sweater and scarf backstage at a London club, 47-year-old Corgan is sensitive to the cold — and to criticism. He is alternately confident and insecure of his place in music history, which makes him both prickly and refreshingly honest. He’s had his ups and downs, but feels with the new record that he’s regaining his musical mojo. “This is the best reaction I’ve had on an album, up off the street, in 20 years,” Corgan said. Corgan plans to release a companion album to “Monuments to an Elegy,” — titled “Day For Night” — in late 2015. Jill Lawless, Associated Press

a cool blend of R&B and pop songs that’s almost as good as her revering 2013 debut. 8. “Montevallo,” Sam Hunt: Props to singersongwriter Sam Hunt for blending country music with elements of R&B, electronica and hip-hop. 9. “Do It Again,” Robyn and Royksopp: Swedish singer Robyn and Norwegian duo Royksopp 5-song dance EP is oh so good, and a tease. 10. “1000 Forms of Fear,” Sia: From “Chandelier” to “Elastic Heart” to “Eye of the Needle,” Sia’s latest album is just another laudable effort in her rich catalog, which is worth exploring if you’ve just discovered the gem this year.

Today is Saturday, Dec. 27, the 361st day of 2014. There are four days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Dec. 27, 1964, the Cleveland Browns defeated the Baltimore Colts 27-0 to win the NFL Championship Game played at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. On this date: In 1831, naturalist Charles Darwin set out on a round-the-world voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. In 1904, James Barrie’s play “Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up” opened at the Duke of York’s Theater in London. In 1927, the musical play “Show Boat,” with music by Jerome Kern and libretto by Oscar Hammerstein II, opened at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. In 1932, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall first opened. In 1945, 28 nations signed an agreement creating the World Bank. In 1947, the original version of the puppet

character Howdy Doody made its TV debut on NBC’s “Puppet Playhouse.” In 1949, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands signed an act recognizing Indonesia’s sovereignty after more than three centuries of Dutch rule. In 1968, Apollo 8 and its three astronauts made a safe, nighttime splashdown in the Pacific. In 1979, Soviet forces seized control of Afghanistan. President Hafizullah Amin, who was overthrown and executed, was replaced by Babrak Karmal. In 1985, Palestinian guerrillas opened fire inside the Rome and Vienna airports; 19 victims were killed, plus four attackers who were slain by police and security personnel. American naturalist Dian Fossey, 53, who had studied gorillas in the wild in Rwanda, was found hacked to death. In 1994, four Roman Catholic priests — three French and a Belgian — were shot to death in their

rectory in Algiers, a day after French commandos killed four radicals who’d hijacked an Air France jet from Algiers to Marseille. In 2007, opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated during a suicide bomb attack in Pakistan following a campaign rally. Ten years ago: The death toll continued to rise in southern Asia in the wake of a huge tsunami triggered by a monster earthquake underneath the Indian Ocean. Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko declared victory in Ukraine’s fiercely contested presidential election. In an audiotape, a man purported to be Osama bin Laden endorsed Abu Musab alZarqawi as his deputy in Iraq and called for a boycott of January’s elections. Five years ago: Iranian security forces fired on Tehran protesters, killing at least eight and launching a new wave of arrests. Associated Press
