OUTLOOK FOR 2015

Analysts say production rate will be hard to sustain in the face of competition from Airbus and even Boeing’s own 777X By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — As the calendar closes out on 2014, the Boeing Co.’s top salesman is as optimistic as ever about being able to keep 777 production going at its current rate at least until airlines start flying its successor, the 777X, early next decade. To keep the Everett plant’s 777 assembly line humming, Boeing has a short amount of time to get a lot of orders for big airplanes that have declining relative value for customers. The company needs to get 40 to 60 orders a year to close the production gap, said Randy Tinseth, vice-president of marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Boeing got about 60 777 orders this year. “We’re pretty much where we’d like to be for the year,” he said. But many aerospace analysts say that Boeing can’t sustain the current 777 production rate of 8.3 airplanes a month — about 100 a year. The 777 has for many years dominated long-haul air routes virtually unopposed, and Boeing has charged a premium for the airplane. But that is changing. Airbus on Monday delivered the first A350 to Qatar Airways. See BOEING, Page A2

Looking back, moving ahead Tragic events this year will continue to shape, but not define new year By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

This year began with a buzz when Boeing chose Everett as the place where it would build its next generation jetliner. But it will end as one forever seared by sadness of two devastating events: the mudslide in Oso and shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School. In 2015, developments in the manufacturing of the 777X airplane and the rebuilding of lives changed by those tragedies will continue to absorb our and the state’s attention. Other headlines will emerge as the private sector looks to continue its rebound from the Great Recession and political leaders confront a demand for public services that outstrips the dollars available to pay for them. Taxes will be a constant

subject of conversation. Several cities and the county hiked taxes late this year to balance their budgets and may need to do so again before the end of 2015. Same goes for the state. Gov. Jay Inslee, who as a candidate in 2012 opposed new taxes, is now pressing lawmakers to approve big ones to raise billions of dollars for public schools and transportation.

Recovery and rebuilding It will be an emotional year for the families and the communities marred by tragedy. Anniversaries will be held to mark the March 22 landslide that claimed 43 lives and the Oct. 24 shooting in which five teenagers died. And there will be heartrending conversations on what, if any, memorials to erect for both.

In the Stillaguamish Valley, the focus on recovery will range from helping businesses flourish to starting a community garden and attempting to get the last 14 miles of the Mountain Loop paved. The county-imposed moratorium on building new structures in the slide zone will remain in force as policymakers ponder new land-use rules for landslide hazard areas. And lawsuits brought on behalf of 12 families affected by the slide through death and property loss should begin to wend their way through the legal channels. Meanwhile, lawmakers and Inslee are united in responding to lessons learned from the catastrophic slide. A report issued by an independent commission will provide them a template for improving the understanding of

Boeing From Page A1

The airplane will compete more with Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, but its largest version, the A350-1000, could grab a slice of the current 777 market share. For that matter, even Boeing’s own 787-10 could take some of that same market. Other competitors include Airbus’ A330-300. And the 777 classic faces market competition from its own replacement, the 777X. The first variant, the 777-9X, is slated to be delivered in 2020. Why should airlines and airplane leasing companies buy the last of a current generation airplane when they can wait a few years and get a next generation airplane? “This is an airplane that continues to perform well,” Tinseth said. This year, several customers — including China Southern Airlines, China

Eastern Airlines, Air Lease Corporation and China Airlines — took delivery of their first 777-300ERs. But those orders were placed several years ago. And while Boeing has landed plenty of new 777 orders this year, the Chicago-based airplane maker also had some turbulence. In November, Airbus won an order from Delta Air Lines for 50 widebody jets. Boeing’s bid included five 777-200ERs to tide Delta over until 787 production slots opened up. And in December, Air France-KLM deferred its orders for 10 777 airplanes that it was supposed to take in 2015 and 2016. Putting off orders is not usually a big deal for airplane makers, but with the 777 line almost certainly winding down in the next decade, Boeing doesn’t have much room to work with. Boeing can only keep the line running at current rate if it continues to book 40 to 60 orders a year, and no

are likely overshadowed by the costs of buying a new airplane, Strauss explained in a Dec. 17 aerospace research note. Airlines could consider delaying “current generation aircraft on order if fuel remains at these lower levels for six to 12 months,” Strauss said. Among airplane makers, “the risk is more significant for Boeing than Airbus, as Boeing has a much larger gap to try to bridge to its next generation models,” he said. Tinseth said he isn’t too worried about the current low oil prices. Boeing expects it will be higher, “probably in the $80 to $100 range” per barrel, which is more than double what it is now, he said. At that level, it makes more sense for an airline company to replace a less efficient older airplane with a new 777-300ER. Growth in the air cargo market will also generate demand for 777 freighters, he said. “For every 1 percent growth in the cargo

market, it equates to about 10 widebody orders.” Boeing forecasts air cargo growing by about 5 percent a year. The Chicago-based airplane maker has a few options to get orders: price discounts and coupling orders. “As we get toward the end of the transition” from the 777 classic to the 777X, we will probably see some pricing pressure,” Tinseth said. But cutting the sticker price on a 777 will likely hurt Boeing’s cash flow, said Scott Hamilton, an aerospace analyst and owner of Issaquah-based Leeham Co. Sales of the 777 and the single-aisle 737 make up about 60 percent of Boeing Commercial Airplane’s cash flow. Boeing makes money on 737 sales by volume, churning out dozens each month. Until now, Boeing has been able to charge a premium for the 777, so it has margin to cut. According to industry

sources, Boeing is already offering huge discounts, as much as $204 million off 777 list prices, but with little success, Hamilton said on his company’s website, Leeham News and Comment. The “broad consensus today is that Boeing will have to reduce the rate — the only questions remaining is by how much and how soon,” he said. Earlier this month, Airbus indicated to investors that it plans to reduce A330 production down to six a month and increase it once the A330neo is added to the assembly line. Airbus and Boeing have been making airplanes for decades. Both have phased out older models for newer ones. And both have armies of analysts to get the timing right, said Tom Captain, an aerospace analyst for Deloitte. “They don’t do it too soon or too late,” he said.

Most industry analysts say Boeing will have to lower 777 production, perhaps as soon as next year and certainly by 2018. “The longer they wait, the bigger the adjustment” to the production rate, Aboulafia said. The price of jet fuel is a major variable influencing demand. Right now, it’s down around $2 a gallon, which is lower than it has been in many years. Lower oil prices are making Boeing’s task tougher, according to David Strauss, an analyst for UBS who follows Boeing. A new 777 is only marginally cheaper to operate than an earlier version.

Associated Press CINCINNATI — A baby gorilla raised by human keepers wearing hairy vests is ready to be placed with other gorillas and will move to the Columbus Zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo said Friday. Kamina, a young, female Western lowland gorilla, was born in August at the zoo in Oklahoma City but was shunned by her mother, so she was sent to Cincinnati in September. The human surrogates taught her to act like a gorilla and then placed her with two female gorillas. When they didn’t bond with her, keepers decided

OKLAHOMA CITY ZOO

Kamina, a Western Lowland gorilla born Aug. 16 at the zoo, is pictured at the zoo in Oklahoma City on Sept. 21. Kamina was rejected by her mother and has been moved to the Cincinnati Zoo.

Kamina’s best option was moving to Columbus. The Cincinnati Zoo’s curator of primates says the rejection

was surprising but such introductions are delicate and don’t always work out. “Kamina has learned all of the behaviors she needs to know in order to be successful in a gorilla group,” Ron Evans, primates curator, said in a statement. “Unfortunately, neither of the adult females that we hoped would bond with her did.” Officials are working out details of her transfer to the Columbus Zoo, which has previous experience with surrogacy placements. After Kamina arrived at the Cincinnati Zoo in September, 17 volunteers, nearly all zoo workers, took turns holding the baby

around the clock, teaching her how to be a gorilla. Volunteers wore hairy vests to give Kamina something to cling too, bottle-fed her and crawled on their hands and knees so Kamina could practice abdominal and back riding. They used low grunting sounds to soothe her and coughing sounds to discourage behaviors. A previous surrogacy at Cincinnati worked out a little better, with keepers successfully raising “Gladys,” a gorilla baby that came to Cincinnati in February 2013 from Brownsville, Texas, and was eventually incorporated into the zoo’s gorilla troop.

Sharia law in Aceh Since the tsunami, Islamic rules are enforced in the province By Don Lee Los Angeles Times

MEULABOH, Indonesia — It is a little past noon on a Friday, time for Anshari and his troops to spring into action. Their first stop is outside the gates of Meulaboh’s central mosque, where fruit and vegetable hawkers display their wares. The announcement comes that it’s time for midday prayers, and Anshari’s team, part of the sharia (Islamic law) police, hovers over the street vendors to ensure that they shut down during the minutes of religious observation. “You should cover that,” snaps one officer, pointing to a cart full of mangoes. The merchant quietly obeys. Later in the afternoon, Anshari’s uniformed squad will fan out to coastal spots and other areas where unmarried or unrelated couples may be trying to steal a moment alone. And they’ll be on the lookout for women wearing tight clothing, or anyone drinking alcohol or gambling — all offenses under sharia that could result in public caning. About 8:30 a.m. Dec. 26, 2004, a tsunami welled up from the Indian Ocean and struck Aceh province, which includes Meulaboh. More than 230,000 people in Southeast Asia were killed. In this corner of Indonesia, one result has been a stricter adherence to Islamic law.

Backlash against Western values? Some see it as partly a backlash against the influx of foreign aid workers, who helped build roads and hospitals, but also brought Western values. At the same time, some of Aceh’s Muslim leaders regarded the disaster as punishment for wayward living, and began calling for a greater focus on virtue and piety. Aceh province is known as the “terrace of Mecca” because it’s thought to be where Islam first spread to Southeast Asia, carried from the northernmost point on the island of Sumatra. It’s the only province in Indonesia — a nation that has the world’s largest Muslim population but has a reputation for religious tolerance — where implementation of sharia is officially authorized. The arrangement is the result of a 1999 national law that gave Aceh “special status” aimed at ending a separatist war there. The tsunami helped end that 30-year conflict by uniting Aceh residents in a common cause, putting the region under international scrutiny and wiping out vast numbers of fighters.

Red paint on pants Meulaboh, the capital of West Aceh district, has one of the strictest regimens for enforcing sharia. Public dress restrictions go beyond the requirement that women wear head scarfs. In December, clerics in West Aceh went around spraying red paint on women’s pants that were deemed too tight. Other locales in Aceh have banned women from dancing or riding a motorbike

NAIROBI, Kenya — A leader with the Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, who had a $3 million bounty on his head, surrendered in Somalia, a Somali intelligence official said Saturday. Zakariya Ismail Ahmed Hersi surrendered to Somali police in the Gedo region, the intelligence officer said.

Airbus jet missing with 161 on board JAKARTA, Indonesia — An AirAsia plane with 161 people aboard lost contact with ground control Sunday after takeoff from Indonesia on the way to Singapore, and search and rescue operations were under way. The plane lost communication with Jakarta’s air traffic control at 7:24 a.m., about an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore, the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority said. The contact was lost about 42 minutes after takeoff from Indonesia’s Surabaya airport, officials said. AirAsia said the plane was an Airbus A320-200 and that search and rescue operations were in progress.

Syria: Peace talks planned State-run TV said Saturday that the government is prepared to take part in peace talks hosted by Russia next month, but the unnamed foreign ministry official it cited suggested the scope of the negotiations would be limited to “preliminary” talks meant to pave the way for a conference in Syria itself. The official was quoted as saying the government was “ready to participate in preparatory, advisory meetings in Moscow” that would “answer the aspirations of Syrians to find an exit from the crisis.” LOS ANGELES TIMES

Under the watchful eye of sharia police, street vendors outside the central mosque in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, shut down for the observance of Friday prayers.

in a straddled position. Human Rights Watch blames sharia regulations for the closing of at least 17 Christian churches in the past decade, and the suppression of other minorities in Aceh, a province of almost 5 million people, nearly 98 percent of whom are Muslim. Indonesia’s new president, Joko Widodo, has promoted pluralism and religious tolerance. Residents of Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, last month inaugurated an ethnic Chinese Christian as governor. Leading experts think what’s been happening in Aceh in recent years is largely isolated and inward-focused. It’s unconnected to broader Islamic movements that have political goals directed against the state or the West, said Edward Aspinall, an Australian National University scholar and author of “Islam and Nation: Separatist Rebellion in Aceh, Indonesia.”

Religion is personal Many people in Jakarta tend to view religion as a personal matter, not something the state should be involved in. “I don’t think sharia should be implemented here because Jakarta has many different people from other backgrounds,” said Enung Rustawijaya, a 51-year-old Muslim who works as a chauffeur. Still, analysts voice reasons for concern. In recent years the level of religious intolerance has been rising and the national government has failed to respond, they say. Whether overzealous sharia police or clerics with spray cans, advocates of more rigid sharia enforcement have gotten little pushback from authorities or the public in Aceh. Although only Aceh has the legal right to impose sharia, several dozen districts in other provinces have drafted bylaws derived from sharia with varying degrees of enforcement, according to Gregory Fealy, an Indonesia specialist at Australian National University. “Aceh has become somewhat

of a model of what sharia law looks like,” Fealy said. “It’s had this kind of inspirational effect on hard-line Islamists.”

Non-Muslims, too? Of added concern to some are recently passed provisions in Aceh that seem to extend the Islamic code of conduct to non-Muslims. Syahrizal Abbas, head of Aceh’s sharia office in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, insists that non-Muslims and foreigners have nothing to fear. Those outside the faith, he said, can elect to follow sharia and its legal system or abide by Indonesia’s national laws. “The governor and I guarantee that sharia will not be applied to non-Muslims in Aceh,” he said. But in practice, it isn’t so straightforward. National regulations aren’t so specific on what’s acceptable clothing or about khalwat, the Islamic “seclusion” code that prohibits unmarried couples from being together in an isolated place. Requirements that women wear head scarves in government offices or market places don’t distinguish between Muslims and non-Muslims.

Raids and punishment During the monthlong fasting period of Ramadan, non-Muslim business owners in towns like Meulaboh have little choice but to close until mid-afternoon under the threat of raids and punishment. The most aggressive application of sharia is in rural areas, but even cities such as Banda Aceh have taken strict measures. No permits for movies have been granted since the last movie theater was closed about the time of the tsunami. This year, authorities closed the dancing club in the lower level of the Hermes Palace Hotel, a four-star hotel where many foreign visitors stay. Hotel workers believe it was because dancers wore provocative clothing. The hotel restaurant’s menu has no alcohol listed. But, as in other places around Aceh,

drinking takes place furtively. During Friday prayer times in Meulaboh, KFC operators lower the shades and close their front doors, but the side entrance remains open and a few customers go in. Throughout Aceh, the reaction to sharia appears generally favorable, even among young people. “It’s actually a good thing,” said Ussuwaful Hasanah, 23, who manages a furniture store in Banda Aceh. “It means people should represent why we are living in the terrace of Mecca.” Along the rocky banks of an estuary, 21-year-old Andhika sat shoulder-to-shoulder with his 19-year-old female companion. He said a local youth guard, unrelated to the sharia police, came around to ask him about his relationship with the woman. He told them they were engaged. “If I weren’t engaged to her, I wouldn’t dare come here,” he said. In Meulaboh, government officials argue that people outside Aceh have a distorted view of sharia enforcement. West Aceh’s sharia force, though up to 83 today from a dozen in 2005, is still just a fraction of the 700-plus regular police, sais Jopi Saputra, a West Aceh government spokesman. He noted that West Aceh hasn’t caned anyone since 2012.

Regular canings Canings throughout the province, however, have been fairly regular, usually carried out with rattan sticks while the person charged is fully clothed. Nongovernmental agencies in Indonesia say such practices aren’t good for Aceh’s image or ability to attract investment, something badly needed in the province. Alaidinsyah, West Aceh’s regent and top official, makes no apologies for the way sharia is enforced. He said it’s misunderstood by outsiders. “They see sharia as something that is scary,” he said. “But the main focus, the real meaning of it is to make people understand how to live a good life, to do good things.”

Wanted extremist surrenders in Somalia Associated Press

AROUND THE WORLD

Hersi may have surrendered because he fell out with those loyal to Ahmed Abdi Godane, al-Shabab’s top leader who was killed in a U.S. airstrike earlier this year, the officer said. Hersi was one of seven top al-Shabab officials whom the Obama administration offered a total $33 million in rewards for information leading to their capture in 2012. It is not clear if the reward will be paid out for

Hersi because he surrendered. Al-Shabab is waging an Islamic insurgency against Somalia’s government that is attempting to rebuild the country after decades of conflict. Al-Shabab controlled much of Mogadishu during 2007 to 2011, but was pushed out of the capital and other major cities by African Union forces. Despite major setbacks in 2014, al-Shabab remains a

threat in Somalia and the East African region. The group has carried out many terror attacks in Somalia and some in neighboring countries including Kenya, whose armies are part of the African Union troops bolstering Somalia’s weak U.N.-backed government. On Christmas al-Shabab launched an attack at the African Union base in Mogadishu. Nine people died.

S. Africa: Killer wave hits A man drowned when an unusually large wave hit a Durban beach, emergency services said Saturday. Another 40 swimmers were treated for minor injuries when the big wave hit the popular Wedge Beach on the north coast of Durban, officials said. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the man, believed to be in his mid-40s. Eyewitnesses described the wave as a “large, freak wave” that “pummeled” the popular beach, officials said.

Vatican: Activist is freed The Holy See has released a Ukrainian activist who bared her breasts in St. Peter’s Square on Christmas Day and snatched the statue of Baby Jesus from the Vatican’s outdoor Nativity scene. A Vatican spokesman said the Holy See prosecutor, met with Yana Zhdanova on Saturday and decided to order her freed.

The Femen protester shouted “God is woman” when she uncovered her chest in the square Thursday.

ACROSS THE U.S. Maryland: Planes collide Authorities said two small planes collided as they were trying to land. At about 4 p.m. Saturday the wings of two planes clipped each other in the air above the at Carroll County Regional Airport. The State Police said there were no injuries reported, but the pilot of one of the planes was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Police said the pilot of an aerobatic biplane didn’t see a Piper Single low-wing plane and struck the aircraft as it was preparing to land. Police said the Piper made a safe landing on the runway, while the biplane made a hard landing on a grassy field.

Texas: Bush still in hospital Former President George H.W. Bush will remain in a Houston hospital through the weekend after experiencing shortness of breath earlier this week. A family spokesman said Saturday the 90-year-old’s condition has improved and doctors are discussing dates for his discharge, but he will remain for now at Houston’s Methodist Hospital for observation. Bush, the oldest living former U.S. president, was taken by ambulance to the hospital Tuesday for what was reported as a precaution. Two years ago he spent nearly two months at the same hospital for treatment of a bronchitis-related cough.

Massachusetts: Pay glitch Some school district employees feel like they got a visit from the Grinch. Instead of receiving their paychecks via direct deposit on the day after Christmas, Plymouth Public Schools workers awoke Friday to find that the amount they were to be paid had instead been withdrawn from their bank accounts. About 1,300 workers were affected. The error has left some employees thousands of dollars in the red. Officials said some banks won’t make corrections until Monday, the next business day.

Iran turns Boeing drone into suicide weapon State media said the aerial device, called the Yasir or the Raad, is designed to strike air, ground and naval targets. By Ali Akbar Dareini Associated Press

ongoing military drills near the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Gen. Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, the army’s chief commander of ground

N.Y. officer mourned as tensions linger Associated Press NEW YORK — Thousands of police officers from across the nation packed a church and spilled onto streets Saturday to honor Officer Rafael Ramos as a devoted family man, aspiring chaplain and hero, though an air of unrest surrounding his ambush shooting was not completely pushed aside. While mourners inside the church applauded politely as Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke, hundreds of officers outside turned their backs on him in a show of disrespect for what they see as his support for anti-police protesters. The rush of officers far and wide to New York for Ramos’ funeral reminded some of the bond after the Sept. 11 attacks and Superstorm Sandy. Vice President Joe Biden promised that the “incredibly diverse city can and will show the nation how to bridge any divide.” Still, tensions were evident when officers turned away from giant screens showing de Blasio, who has been harshly criticized by New York Police Department union officials as a contributor to a climate of mistrust that preceded the killings of Ramos and his partner, Wenjian Liu. Sgt. Myron Joseph of the New Rochelle Police Department said he and fellow officers turned their backs spontaneously to “support our brothers in the NYPD.” De Blasio’s spokesman said: “The Ramos and Liu families, our police department and our city are dealing with an unconscionable tragedy. Our sole focus is unifying this city and honoring the lives of our two police officers.” The NYPD said through its public relations office that it had no comment. In his eulogy, de Blasio said hearts citywide were

Your dad was assassinated because he represented something. — Police Commissioner William Bratton, to the Ramos children

broken after the Dec. 20 shootings. “All of this city is grieving and grieving for so many reasons,” de Blasio said. “But the most personal is that we’ve lost such a good man, and the family is in such pain.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo praised the sea of blue mourners for their professionalism at recent rallies over police conduct when protesters insulted them, and Biden spoke passionately about the effects of the officers’ deaths. “When an assassin’s bullet targeted two officers, it targeted this city and it touched the soul of an entire nation,” the vice president said. Police union officials in contentious contract negotiations with the city have faulted de Blasio for showing sympathy to protesters angry over the police deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner on Staten Island. At a hospital after the

officers’ slayings, the police union’s president, Patrick Lynch, and others turned their backs on de Blasio. Lynch said the mayor had “blood on his hands.” After the funeral, Lynch and de Blasio exchanged nods as they exited the church. Lynch refused to answer questions about officers turning their backs. Weeks before the shooting, Lynch had suggested officers sign a petition requesting that the mayor

not attend their funerals were they to die in the line of duty. Soon after taking office this year, de Blasio dropped the city’s opposition to a judge’s finding that the police department discriminated against minorities with its anti-crime stopand-frisk tactics. But since last week’s shootings, de Blasio has stood firmly by police, calling on demonstrators to temporarily halt protests

and praising the department after it arrested several men charged with threatening police. The killings shook the city and put an end to large-scale local protests criticizing police over the high-profile, in-custody deaths. When the Ramos family arrived at church Saturday, the elder son — wearing his father’s NYPD jacket — was hugged by a police officer. Ramos, a 40-year-old married father of two, was studying to become a pastor and kept Bible study books in his locker, his commanding officer said. Police Commissioner William Bratton said Ramos had been made honorary chaplain of the police precinct where he had worked. Bratton said in his eulogy that Ramos and Liu would

be “partners for all time.” Speaking to Ramos’ children, he said: “We are here because your dad was assassinated. It’s a different word than ‘murdered.’ It makes the crime intentional and symbolic. Your dad was assassinated because he represented something.” Officer Dustin Lindaman of the Waterloo Police Department flew from Iowa to attend the funeral. “He’s one of our brothers, and when this happens, it affects everyone in law enforcement — it absolutely affects everyone,” he said. A block from the church, retired NYPD Officer John Mangan held a sign that read: “God Bless the NYPD. Dump de Blasio.” After the officers’ deaths, the gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley killed himself. Police said he was troubled and had shot and wounded an ex-girlfriend in Baltimore earlier that day. In online posts shortly before the attack, Brinsley referenced the killings of Brown and Garner, both of whom were black, by white police officers. Ramos and Liu were the first officers to die in the line of duty in New York since 2011. Funeral plans for Liu haven’t been announced. They have both been posthumously promoted to first-grade detective.

Ferguson protester charged Associated Press BERKELEY, Mo. — A protester who advocated for peaceful demonstrations in Ferguson was charged Saturday with setting fire to a convenience store in a neighboring suburb. A St. Louis County jail official said Joshua Williams, 19, of St. Louis, was being held on $30,000 bond. He is charged with arson, second-degree burglary and stealing. Williams, who was frequently quoted and photographed protesting Michael Brown’s death, is accused of using lighter fluid to set fires inside and outside a QuikTrip in Berkeley. Court records said Williams confessed and that his actions were captured by surveillance video and by news media. The QuikTrip was looted after a white Berkeley police officer shot and killed Antonio Martin, a black 18-year-old, Tuesday at a nearby gas station. Separate surveillance footage appeared to show that before the shooting, Martin pulled a gun on the unidentified officer. Williams has been arrested at least twice during Ferguson-related protests for unlawful assembly as well as refusal to disperse. An MSNBC profile of Williams in September quoted him as saying, “We have to come together as one and show them we can be peaceful, that we can do this. If not, they’re going to just want us to act up so they can pull out their toys on us again.” During a Ferguson Commission meeting earlier this month, Williams said black people should be able to walk into stores

without being followed around like thieves. “When the police go out there in their uniforms, they don’t see nothing but thugs,” he said. “All they see is targets in the streets.”

SpaceX plans lots of launches, then on to Mars Orlando Sentinel Once the launchpad for Apollo and space shuttle flights, NASA’s Launch Complex 39A is now in the hands of SpaceX and its enigmatic billionaire leader, Elon Musk. With a 20-year lease, the privately held Hawthorne, California, company is rebuilding the launch complex at Kennedy Space Center to fit its rockets — the Falcon 9 and the soon-to-debut Falcon Heavy super-rocket — just as it envisions reshaping the space-launch industry. The overhaul of 39A is the Central Florida centerpiece of SpaceX’s plans. The company also has two other leased launchpads, Launch Complex 40 nearby at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and one at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. It plans to build a fourth pad near Brownsville, Texas. Its short-range goal is to pursue private and military launch contracts. Eventually, SpaceX hopes to colonize Mars. Next up will be the company’s fifth NASAcontracted mission to haul equipment and supplies to the International Space Station. The launch of SpaceX’s Dragon resupply capsule, postponed three times, now is scheduled for a Jan. 6 liftoff from Launch Complex 40. Starting in 2018, SpaceX is one of two private rocket companies with contracts to ferry astronauts to the space station. “Elon wants to rule the world,” said John Logsdon, professor emeritus at George Washington University’s Space Policy Institute. “The company has a long-term strategy to

become a, or maybe the, dominant player in space activity.” SpaceX’s longer-term plans are not dependent on NASA, but on spurring a worldwide increase in private space launches, Logsdon said. And with all the company is investing now, it is gambling on an extremely robust private-space business in the 2020s, said George Abbey, a former director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center and now a senior fellow of space policy at the Rice University Baker Institute for Public Policy. The company “has got to be successful in capturing the launch-vehicle market,” Abbey said of SpaceX. Industry advocates such as Eric Stallmer, president of the Commercial

Spaceflight Federation trade group, think there will be a lot of spacelaunch business in the next decade. Stallmer said launches are by far the biggest cost of putting a private satellite into service. So as competition and innovation drive down launch costs and increase reliability, the market should increase “exponentially” from the 30 commercial launches a year now seen worldwide, he said. “They (SpaceX) keep challenging themselves and the industry, and they keep succeeding, and it’s really changing the way we do business in space,” he said. Musk often has talked of his dream of sending astronauts to Mars. SpaceX already is pursuing some

Mars-landing technologies. Musk has said he could reach Mars by 2030 — ahead of NASA’s plans to do so — and envisions creating a colony there. The commercial space industry is full of ambitious new companies, including others like SpaceX, run by charismatic billionaires. They must compete with established companies such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the European cooperative Arianespace, Russia’s Soyuz and others that have strong relationships with governments and satellite companies. Two, Orbital Sciences and Virgin Galactic, had disastrous setbacks this fall. Orbital’s rocket and capsule blew up on liftoff in Virginia, on a space station resupply mission in October. Three days later,

Virgin’s SpaceShipTwo crashed during a test, killing a pilot. SpaceX has successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket 13 times. During the next several years, SpaceX has contracts for 40 more rockets, include five for launching the Falcon Heavy. All five of the big rockets and 23 of the others are scheduled to launch from Florida. That could change once SpaceX finishes its private launch complex near Brownsville, said Roger Handberg, who specializes in space policy at University of Central Florida. In Florida, SpaceX can launch only on dates approved by the Air Force, but in Texas the company has freedom to launch on its own schedule. He expects the company’s private payloads to be

launched mostly in Texas. SpaceX nearly went bankrupt before it started winning NASA contracts, Handberg said. And the company’s deals with NASA to service the space station likely will last only through 2025, when the station is scheduled to be decommissioned. Though SpaceX has won some U.S. military launches, most remain committed to old-guard contractors such as the United Launch Alliance, a partnership of Boeing and Lockheed Martin. This year, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded to ULA a longterm, no-bid contract extension for 36 military launches. Musk blasted the deal in congressional testimony, and then SpaceX sued the federal government. That suit is pending. UCF’s Handberg said it’s unclear whether there will be enough private rocket-launch business for SpaceX, as other companies emerge and older ones dig in.

N. Korea slams U.S. over Net woes

OUTLOOK FOR 2015

The Washington Post

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Air traffic controllers Bridget Monroe, John Holcepl and Chris Taylor watch the skies from the FAA control tower at Paine Field in September. Boeing faces some tricky timing with 777 production in 2015.

Ahead: Traffic, schools will top agenda From Page A1

and response to landslides. The report’s recommendations include clarifying when a wildfire mobilization response can be activated. Fire officials said they tried in those initial hours after the landslide but were rebuffed. The report also urges state leaders to accelerate mapping landslide-prone regions, to shore up funding of the state’s emergency response network and to make it easier for regular people to participate when an emergency occurs. Reaction to the high school shooting will trigger a much different, and potentially more divisive, debate. Bills will be pushed to hold adults accountable if one of their weapons falls into the possession of a child and something bad happens. Gun control backers want stricter laws to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill adults and individuals prone to violent behavior. At the other end of the spectrum, Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, will push to allow teachers who have a permit for a concealed weapon to carry a gun on campus as a first line of defense.

Look, up in the sky At the Boeing Co.’s Everett plant, work will continue at a quick pace on the buildings where the new 777X jetliner will be produced. On the company’s nearby Paine Field flight line, mechanics and engineers are hustling to get the first test plane of the KC-46 aerial-refueling tanker program into the air, possibly in late-April. As production of 787s will hum along, aerospace analysts will be closely watching the level of interest in two the company’s classic lines — the 747 and 777. Boeing logged no orders for its 747-8 in 2014 and not enough of the 777 to sustain output at its current pace until the 777X ramps up.

County challenges This is shaping up to be an intriguing year as the County Council and County Executive John Lovick contend with budget challenges and one another. Lovick’s job is on the ballot, again, this time for a full fouryear term. The Democrat says he’s running and Republican Carolyn Eslick, his opponent in November’s special one-year election, is angling for a rematch. But Lovick may be challenged by others in his party. County Council Chairman Dave Somers, with whom he’s publicly quarreled of late, is one of the potential foes. A bit of that tension stems from the council’s hiring of an attorney to investigate comments allegedly made by Lovick’s top administrator, Deputy Executive Mark Ericks. The contention is Ericks made several disparaging comments about Somers and

This is shaping up to be an intriguing year as the County Council and County Executive John Lovick contend with budget challenges and one another. County Councilman Terry Ryan during a cabinet meeting, a claim Lovick says isn’t true. Council members Brian Sullivan and Stephanie Wright, who aligned with Lovick in the budget spat and opposed hiring the attorney, are bracing for challengers as they each seek re-election. Outside the chamber, the most expensive building ever constructed by the county should be taking shape by mid-2015. That’s when officials expect to break ground on the new eight-story, $162 million courthouse. Worries persist about keeping the project on budget. And the county’s largest proposed housing development, Point Wells, is inching closer to approval as well. Traffic and environmental analyses are under way on the effects of erecting 3,081 condominiums on industrial land next door to Woodway. At the Snohomish County jail, Sheriff Ty Trenary will be sowing reforms seeded after a series of high-profile inmate deaths. Staff has been added and mentalhealth screenings at booking increased. There’s more work to be done, such as implementing an electronic medical-records system. Trenary, too, must run again to secure a full term and the success of the reforms could emerge in the campaign.

In the capitol State lawmakers arrive Jan. 12 for the 2015 session. No one’s sure when they’ll go home because the task at hand is a challenging one. They’re writing a new two-year budget that must contain a sizable sum of money for schools. That’s because the state Supreme Court found them in contempt of its McCleary ruling that the state is violating the constitutional rights of public school students by inadequately funding basic education. There are other pressure points in the budget. Voters passed a measure for smaller classes that carries a $2 billion price tag and the high court ordered the state to end its practice of psychiatric boarding, which means finding hospital beds quickly. Inslee wants to impose a new capital gains tax to generate revenue and says it will only affect the state’s wealthiest 1 percent. Raising billions of dollars for the state’s transportation system is another battle. The Democrat-controlled House and Republican-controlled Senate have dueled for two years and are ready for a third. Inslee suggests

the money come from a new tax on polluters and not a higher gas tax. Beyond the budget, there are other matters such as how to blend the largely unchecked medical marijuana market with the heavily regulated legal pot industry that launched this year. State lawmakers won’t be alone in wrestling with budgets. In Everett, for example, the city trimmed jobs, hiked utility taxes and increased car tab fees in 2014 and still couldn’t eliminate its budget deficit. Mayor Ray Stephanson will try to squeeze more savings from the operations — and maybe pensions — of city firefighters and police officers. If unsuccessful, it could mean another round of tax and fee hikes. The city is eyeing a 10-year plan to fix its sewer system and end backups into basements in the north. It won’t be cheap and it may require boosting sewer and stormwater rates.

Going up Work on a slew of high-profile projects will pick up steam in 2015. It took years to preserve Mukilteo’s Japanese Gulch and this fall plans for developing the 147-acre park could be firmed up. Look for its informal parking area to be improved this spring. The $63.5 million building and remodeling project at Swedish/ Edmonds hospital will continue. The new emergency department, urgent care center and new main lobby are expected to open in the fall. The Port of Everett is forging ahead with its Waterfront Center development and strengthening its south marine terminal to handle heavier roll-on, roll-off cargo. In Stanwood, city leaders are trying to figure out how to relocate City Hall out of the flood plain in downtown or to elevate it so it’s not prone to flooding.

Schools and education Educators and students will be keeping a close watch on what happens in Olympia. Money for teacher pay hikes is on the table. An effort to evaluate teacher performance on student test scores will be debated. And there could be a ton of dough for hiring new teachers so there can be smaller classes, which in turn could trigger the need to build classrooms or buy portables. Students in grades 3-8 and 11 will, for the first time, be taking the Smarter Balanced tests aligned to the Washington State Learning Standards in English

language arts and math. And school districts are looking to get some projects done too. In Edmonds, construction will begin on the new $59 million Alderwood Middle School, the single biggest project approved in the $275 million bond issue approved by voters in February. In Mukilteo, the district will install $2 million of security upgrades that may include security cameras, access cards and perimeter fencing of schools. In the Arlington Public Schools district, they’ll try again to pass a $3 million levy to buy 26 new school buses. The measure failed in November when it garnered only 48 percent support.

Cars, trains and ferries Highways and byways in Snohomish County are getting clogged with more cars seemingly every day. Average travel times in the morning and evening commute between Everett and Seattle are getting longer and likely to get worse in 2015. Commuting on I-405 is supposed to get slightly easier if new tolled HOT lanes open between Lynnwood and Bellevue in the fall as planned. They are expected to be pricier than the toll lanes now open on Highway 167 and carpoolers will probably need three people in their vehicle to qualify. If a multi-billion dollar transportation package emerges from the Legislature it could provide some relief, though it’s not expected to add any new lanes on I-5. There’s talk of a new bridge on Highway 9 over the Snohomish River, a new interchange on Highway 526 at Hardeson Road, more bus service and incentives to buy electric cars. In Mukilteo, an $11 million project to add a second platform at the Sounder commuter rail station may open in early spring. The south platform project includes a pedestrian bridge, passenger shelters and public art. And the first phase of construction on the new Mukilteo ferry terminal — removing the dilapidated tank farm pier — is about to get under way. Ferry system officials say the pier removal is expected to start in May or June. In Edmonds, city leaders are going to press the state for $1.25 million to study how best to solve traffic issues in the busy waterfront district. Part of the study would examine whether a proposed 7,800-foot trench to allow trains to pass through the city below grade is technically achievable and financially affordable.

BEIJING — North Korea on Saturday compared President Barack Obama to a “monkey in a tropical forest” as it blamed the administration for disrupting its Internet access amid a hacking dispute related to the movie “The Interview.” The North Korean government has been fiercely critical of the film, a comedy involving a plot to assassinate its leader Kim Jong Un, but has denied responsibility for a recent cyberattack on Sony Pictures. Facing a threat of terrorist attacks from hackers, and the subsequent refusal of large cinema halls to screen the movie, Sony initially canceled its release earlier this month. But after Obama criticized the company for caving in to pressure from North Korea, Sony released the movie Christmas Day in selected independent cinemas. It played to packed houses and took in nearly $1 million in opening day ticket sales. Sony also made the film available online on Google’s Play service and YouTube Movies, as well as on Microsoft’s Xbox Video and a dedicated Web site — seetheinterview.com — run by the studio itself. In a statement on Saturday, North Korea’s ruling body, the National Defense Commission, said Obama was “the chief culprit” for the movie’s release. “Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest,” an unnamed spokesman for the commission said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency. It wasn’t the first time North Korea has used racist language to refer to Obama or indeed used crude insults against other top U.S. and South Korean officials. In May, its official news agency called Obama a “crossbreed” and “a wicked black monkey,” while referring to South Korean President Park Geun-hye as “an old prostitute.” In August, it called Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a “hideous lantern jaw.” Obama had threatened retaliation against North Korea over the cyberattack on Sony, but it is not clear if last week’s disruption of the country’s Internet access was carried out by the U.S. government or by independent hackers. North Korea on Saturday demanded evidence that it was behind the attack on Sony, while blaming the United States for its own Internet problems. “The United States, with its large physical size and oblivious to the shame of playing hide and seek as children with runny noses would, has begun disrupting the Internet operations of the main media outlets of our republic,” it said. The U.S. administration, it said, had “feigned ignorance” of the attack. Earlier, it had warned that any U.S. punishment over the cyberattack on Sony would lead to retaliation “thousands of times greater.” The United States has also requested China’s help in punishing its ally North Korea, but Beijing has appeared reluctant to get involved, condemning cyberattacks but arguing there was no proof of who was responsible for the attack on Sony The movie has proved a surprise success in China, with tens of thousands of people downloading it — most illegally — within hours of it being made available online. Many Chinese netizens left positive reviews online, even without seeing the movie, as a gesture of protest against censorship, while others appeared to enjoy the lampooning of the North Korean regime. The country’s leader is often mockingly referred to by Chinese Web users as “Fatty Kim III.”

Black and white, red and blue divide America By Dan Balz and Scott Clement The Washington Post

Blacks and whites live in different worlds when it comes to perceptions of the criminal justice system and the role that police play in society. But divisions within the white community are almost as stark, with opinions heavily shaped by partisan identification and ideology, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The overall findings underscore the depth of distrust among a sizeable majority of African Americans toward the police, as well as doubts about the treatment of members of their community after decisions not to prosecute officers over the killings of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York. Only 1 in 10 African Americans say that blacks and other minorities receive equal treatment with whites in the criminal justice system. Only about 2 in 10 say they are confident that the police treat whites and blacks equally, whether or not they have committed a crime. In contrast, roughly half of all white Americans say the races are treated equally in the justice system and 6 in 10 have confidence that police treat both equally. But white Americans are hardly homogenous in their views about these issues. While 2 in 3 white Republicans say minorities and whites are treated equally in the criminal justice system, only 3 in 10 white Democrats agree with that view. Similarly, while more than 8 in 10 white Republicans say they’re confident that police treat blacks and whites equally, half as many white Democrats share that opinion. The Post-ABC survey was undertaken after a grand jury in New York declined to indict a police officer in the chokehold death of Eric

JEFF ROBERSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Police and Missouri National Guardsmen stand guard as protesters gather in Ferguson, Missouri, on Nov. 28.

Garner, who was detained for selling unlicensed cigarettes. That case followed the shooting of black teen Michael Brown by white officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9. However, the poll was completed before the Dec. 20 killing of New York police officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu by gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who referenced the Brown and Garner deaths on social media before he acted. The killings came amid rising racial tensions in New York after weeks of protests over the decision not to issue an indictment in the Garner case. Those killings have sparked widespread sympathy for the families of the two slain officers and outrage over Brinsley’s brazen act. But they have also heightened racial tension in New York and deepened pre-existing strains between Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City police union. In the Post-ABC survey, there were areas of common ground, across the races and among whites of both parties.

Overwhelming majorities say they would support requiring police officers to wear small video cameras whenever they were on duty. Similar majorities of blacks, whites and Hispanics say they would support a policy requiring an outside prosecutor, unconnected to the police, to investigate any case of a police officer killing an unarmed civilian. But those two responses were exceptions to the pattern of division on most other questions. There is a 2 to 1 gap between whites and blacks on whether police are adequately trained to avoid the use of excessive force and slightly larger differences on whether the police try hard to maintain good relations with varied community groups and whether they are held accountable for any misconduct. And while 6 in 10 whites see the Ferguson and Staten Island killings as isolated cases, 3 in 4 blacks say they are a sign of a broader problem in the treatment of African Americans by police. The lack of indictments

in the Ferguson and Staten Island cases produced sharply negative reactions among African Americans surveyed, but whites reacted differently to the two cases. A majority of whites said they approved of the decision by the Ferguson grand jury in a separate Post-ABC poll last month, but a plurality of whites in the new poll say they disapprove of the decision not to hand up indictments in the death of Garner (49-38 percent, disapprove-approve). While the recent events have highlighted the differences between whites and blacks in their perceptions, they have not resulted in a significant change in those attitudes. For more than two decades, African Americans have been far more negative in their assessments of whether there is equal treatment of minorities and whites in the criminal justice system, with the overwhelming majority of blacks saying no. Throughout that same period, with limited exceptions, a bare majority of whites have consistently said the system treats all

races equally. In the latest survey, 6 in 10 Hispanics shared the view that the system treats minorities differently from how it treats whites. Partisan differences among white Americans is a more recent phenomenon. A 1988 survey by the Associated Press and Media General found only a 13-percentage-point gap between white Republicans and white Democrats in their assessment of how even-handed the criminal justice system was. By the fall of 2007, that had tripled to a 36-point gap and it has stayed in that range since, with more white Republicans saying they thought blacks and other minorities received equal treatment and more white Democrats saying the opposite. The growing partisan differences among white Democrats and Republicans over issues of race and justice coincided with the deepening red-blue divisions in the country that have affected both attitudes on other issues, perceptions of political leaders, assessments of the state of the economy and

the hardening of voting patterns. Political partisanship and ideology play a stronger role in white Americans’ views on these issues than almost all other demographic and regional factors, according to a statistical analysis looking at the impact of many factors at once. Higher-educated whites and those living in areas with larger black populations are more apt to doubt that minorities are treated equally in the justice system. But these factors are far outweighed by political considerations. When holding these and other demographics constant, conservatives and Republicans continue to be far more likely to say whites and blacks receive equal treatment in the justice system. Here are some examples of the differences among whites from the latest PostABC poll. Eight in 10 white Republicans say the killings of Brown and Garner were isolated incidents, while more than 6 in 10 white Democrats say they are part of a broader pattern. Over half of white Republicans say they approve of the grand jury decision not to indict in the death of Garner, but only a fifth of white Democrats approve. Almost twice as many white Republicans as white Democrats say they are confident that police are held accountable for misconduct, and twice as many say they are confident that police are adequately trained to avoid the use of excessive force. The Post-ABC poll was conducted by telephone Dec. 11-15 among a random national sample of 1,012 adults, including 310 interviews among cellphone-only respondents. Overall results have margin of error of 3.5 percentage points; the error margin is 11 points for results among African Americans and Hispanics.

Fish eye goes back 300 million years The discovery shows that fish have seen the world in color for a very long time. By Deborah Netburn Los Angeles Times

Scientists have found a fossilized fish so well preserved that the rods and cones in its 300-millionyear-old eyeballs are still visible under a scanning electron microscope. It is the first time that fossilized photoreceptors from a vertebrate eye have ever been found, according to a paper published last week in Nature Communications. The researchers

said the discovery also suggests that fish have been seeing the world in color for at least 300 million years. Rods and cones are cells that line the retina in our eyes. Rods are long and thin, and more sensitive to light than cones. However, cones, which are triangular, allow us to see in color. Both these cells rely on pigments to absorb light. Using chemical analysis, the scientists found evidence of one of these pigments — melanin — in the fossilized eye as well. The fossilized fish is about 10 centimeters long. It was found in the Hamilton Quarry in Kansas, which was once a shallow

lagoon. Fossils from this area are remarkably well preserved because they were buried very quickly in sediments in the lagoon, said Gengo Tanaka of Kumamoto University in Japan, the lead author of the paper, which was published Tuesday. In the case of this fish, an extinct species called Acanthodes bridgei, the preservation process probably also got some help from bacterial activity that left a thin film of phosphate over the eyes before it was buried. Tanaka said that gills and pigments on other parts of the fish were also preserved. However, he had not looked to see whether

organs and nerves were intact as well. The researchers compared the fossilized fish eye to the modern-day fish Rhinogobius, which is similar in size to A. bridge and which also lives in slightly salty water. They found that the ratio of rods to cones was similar in both fish, which suggests A. bridge was more active during the day and relied on its vision to make a living. Tanaka said the discovery could inform the study of many vertebrates such as dinosaurs, birds and other fossil fish. Scientists had thought that modern eyes had developed hundreds of millions of years ago. Now, they have definitive proof.

Penny parking thriving in small Illinois town Associated Press

SYCAMORE, Ill. — Mike Stolarski didn’t need but a few minutes to grab a cup of coffee. But, being in a generous mood, he fed a parking meter enough for whoever pulled into his soon-to-be-empty parking spot. So, instead of costing him a penny, it cost him two. In a time of strained city budgets, this community of 18,000 residents an hour west of Chicago is one of a handful still holding onto meters that accept pennies, nickels and dimes around its town square. A penny gets you 12 minutes, a nickel buys an hour and a dime is worth two hours. Don’t fret if bills or a credit card is all you have — sometimes people leave a few extra pennies stacked on the meters. And the guy whose job it is to write tickets when he spots expired meters? He’s been known to feed them. The City Council quadrupled the fine for parking tickets a few years ago. “The fines went from a quarter to a dollar,” Mayor Ken Mundy said, adding out-oftowners often ask for a copy of the ticket as a keepsake. While it seems like a scene straight out of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” there’s purpose in the parking strategy. Mundy and others are well aware that meters translate into big money — and sometimes scandal — in places like Chicago, where parking costs as much as $6.50 an hour and a ticket is $65. But unlike many other communities, where downtowns are littered with boarded-up storefronts, theirs is thriving. And they think the penny parking meters’ message — that Sycamore

is welcoming but not trying to gouge visitors — is one of the reasons why. “The meters encourage people to come downtown,” City Manager Brian Gregory said, which to him is more valuable than the “few thousand dollars” in revenue Sycamore would realize if it raised parking rates. Right now, he said, the city basically breaks even. So, why charge at all? Mundy and Gregory say the meters do exactly what the city and business owners want: Encourage motorists to park and shop without

Don’t tell them, but I’d be willing to pay a quarter for two hours. — Kathy Tornberg, downtown shopper

lingering too long so someone else can do the same. “Even though it’s just a little money, it gives you a little more incentive to watch the time,” Stolarski said. Merchants love the meters. “We use it as a

marketing tool on Facebook,” Sycamore Antiques co-owner Ann Tucker said. Shoppers do, too. “It keeps the quaintness of the town,” said Kathy Tornberg, who planned on using the whole two hours her dime bought recently. “Don’t

tell them, but I’d be willing to pay a quarter for two hours.” People who follow parking trends are hard-pressed to find another community with anywhere near the 316 penny parking meters still operating in Sycamore. “There is no other one because it serves no purpose,” opined Larry Berman, a former New York City parking commissioner. “It is just amazing.” There are a dozen in Silverton, Oregon. Just seven remain in Somerville, New Jersey, which once had 1,100.

“I used to have one of the first ones (on display) in my office,” Somerville’s ClerkAdministrator Kevin Sluka said. “One day they took it for the parts.” In Sycamore, the penny meter’s survival is also a tribute to parking enforcement officer Giovanni Serra’s ability to fix them when they break down — and hunt down parts for those he can’t. Mundy knows what that means. “There’s no doubt the supply is diminishing,” he said. “We will eventually be out of the penny parking business.”

First tanker test plane does taxi tests at Paine Field By Daniel Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The first test plane of Boeing’s aerial-refueling tanker program ran through taxiing and ground tests Saturday ahead of its first flight, which is slated for Sunday. Boeing workers spent Saturday morning doing ground checks on the

plane, callsign VH001. It finally pulled out of its stall on Boeing’s flight line at Paine Field mid-afternoon, and proceeded to do taxiing tests on the airport’s main runway. The plane was freshly painted in flat gray. A small American flag adorned its vertical fin. It is a nonmilitary version of the KC-46 tanker

With the flight test program six months behind schedule, Boeing has focused on getting the first test airplane into the air. The first KC-46 tanker is slated to fly in late April.

Search on for missing hiker PORT ANGELES — Teams searched Saturday for a 60-year-old man missing in Olympic National Park, focusing on an area off trail where his pack was found. Jim Griffin hasn’t been seen since he went for a hike Monday on the Olympic Hot Springs Trail. His friends reported him missing Wednesday night after he failed to show up at a Christmas Eve dinner. The National Park Service said Saturday that

nearly two dozen people were conducting an intensive grid search in the area where they found his day pack about 50 feet off trail. Spokeswoman Jacilee Wray said they believe Griffin set off around 11 a.m. Monday for the hot springs, which is about 2 1⁄2 miles from the trailhead. People reported seeing him at the hot springs that afternoon, so officials believe Griffin may have hiked back to his car in the dark, she said. His pack was found off the trail about one-half mile from the trailhead,

Nearby searchers found a pouch of freeze-dried food that had been filled with water and resealed, Wray told the Peninsula Daily News. There were no signs of a struggle in the area, she said. “He’s a slow and steady hiker,” she said, adding that he would have been moving slower because of a previous leg injury.

Seattle: Growth in state, Oregon The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Washington’s population grew by nearly 88,000 people from July 2013 to July 2014. Estimates released earlier this week show Washington had just over 7 million residents as of July 1. That’s up 1.3 percent from a year before. Meanwhile, Oregon gained about 42,000 people, or about a 1 percent increase, over the last year. Oregon had nearly 4 million people as of July 1. Washington grew by 5 percent between 2010 and 2014, while Oregon grew by 3.6 percent in that time. Nationally, the population grew by about 0.75 percent to 318.9 million people. North Dakota was the nation’s fastestgrowing state over the last year. California remained the nation’s most populous state with 38.8 million residents.

Vancouver: Deal prevents development A Vancouver-based conservation group says a new deal will prevent development on nearly 3,100 acres of private forestland south of Mount St. Helens. Columbia Land Trust announced this week that it bought development rights on the timberland, which is owned by Pope Resources, a timber company based in Poulsbo, Washington. The group said the purchase protects critical riverside habitat and ensures that forestry will continue on much of the land. It is part of a larger project to protect from development more than 20,000 acres of land near Swift Reservoir on the Lewis River. The land is west of Pine Creek in Skamania County. Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program provided nearly $1.3 million in state grant money for the conservation easement.

Public can weigh in on proposed Idaho-Oregon transmission line Associated Press BOISE, Idaho — It’s time for the public to again weigh in on a long-discussed transmission line that would carry electricity from the Columbia River region across eastern Oregon to western Idaho. Idaho Power is seeking approval for the 500-kilovolt line, which would run 305 miles from Boardman, Oregon, to a substation near Melba, Idaho. The company says the line will reduce constraints on the regional transmission system as demand for energy grows. It hopes to start construction in 2018 and finish by 2020. Overshadowing the

process is the possible listing of the greater sage grouse as an endangered species, the Ontario Argus Observer reported. That possibility created a challenge for planners working to weave the proposed route around areas identified as core habitat for the grouse. Idaho Power and the Bureau of Land Management first put the project out for scoping in 2008. Many residents protested the route that would have gone over large swaths of private land, including farmland and homes. Because of the pushback, Idaho Power pulled that proposal and, after holding meetings with citizen

advisory groups, resubmitted a revised application to route the transmission across federal land in 2010. A second revised plan was released in early 2011, and a third revised plan came out later that year. The draft environmental impact statement released this month puts 67 percent of the route on private land and 33 percent on public land. The proposed route through Malheur County, Oregon, where much of the 2008 pushback occurred, stays away from populated areas and exclusive farm ground. The BLM will decide whether to grant the rightof-way on public lands

Idaho Power is requesting for the line. The agency also could choose an alternate route, according to the document. The Oregon Department of Energy also must approve the project and has a similar review process underway. The final environmental impact statement is scheduled to come out in early 2016, with a final decision coming out later that year. The public has until March 19 to comment. A public meeting in Marsing, Idaho, has been scheduled for Jan. 13. In Oregon, early January meetings have been scheduled in Ontario and five other eastern cities.

Oregon man charged in sex case from Cambodia at preventing child abuse made it a crime for any U.S. citizen to have illegal sexual contact with a minor in a foreign country. The offense carries a maximum prison sentence of 30 years upon conviction. The indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges Johnson sexually abused an underage boy while overseas between November 2005 and October 2006. Authorities have not said whether the alleged

Two die trying to cross frozen lake Los Angeles Times Two men were found dead in a Montana lake after they went missing while trying to cross a frozen section of the lake on snowmobiles, police said. A group of five men attempted to cross Seeley Lake on Friday night after eating dinner at a local restaurant, but only two made it, Missoula County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Paige Pavalone said Saturday. One of those two

crawled back across the ice on his belly and pulled a third man, who was yelling for help, out of the water, Pavalone said. He was taken to a hospital and treated for hypothermia while police searched the lake with a helicopter for the two missing men. At about 10 p.m. local time, about four hours after police first received calls concerning the incident, the bodies of the two missing men were found floating in the lake.

Their avalanche bags, designed to help a person stay on top of the snow during an avalanche, had deployed and kept them afloat, officials said. Pavalone said a cause of death has not yet been determined. The names of the two men, ages 27 and 29, were not released. Pavalone said the Seeley Lake area is a popular recreation spot in the winter. But this year, she said, “the lake was not completely frozen over. It has been unseasonably warm and mild.”

It’s unclear if Johnson has an attorney or will have a public defender assigned to him Monday. The anti-pedophile group Action pour les Enfants, which is based in Cambodia, said Johnson had worked as a Christian

missionary in the Southeast Asian country for about a decade. The news release states that although the group is disappointed with Johnson’s “light sentence in Cambodia,” the government’s decision to deport Johnson “is a clear signal and helps serve as deterrent for other criminals that Cambodia will not allow such crimes.” More than a decade ago, Johnson was accused

Kimmel said he didn’t know he needed permits to plant more than 9,000 geoduck seeds in plastic tubes embedded in the sand just north of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. Nearby residents and some environmental groups complained after the tubes were installed, and Kimmel began to retroactively seek permits.

7 years later, Carnation slayings trial to begin Associated Press SEATTLE — Seven years after six family members were killed in Carnation on Christmas Eve, a King County judge is nearly ready to begin hearing the case against one of the two people charged with six counts of aggravated firstdegree murder. A jury was chosen in the case against Joseph McEnroe, which is scheduled to begin with opening statements on Jan. 12, The Seattle Times reported. McEnroe and his former girlfriend, Michele

Anderson, are each charged with six counts of aggravated first-degree murder in connection with the Dec. 24, 2007, shooting deaths of Anderson’s parents, brother, sister-inlaw, 5-year-old niece and 3-year-old nephew. King County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ramsdell said in court earlier this week that jury selection has been a rigorous, grueling process. According to Ramsdell, 3,000 summonses were mailed to prospective jurors. That group was whittled down to 55

last week and then on Friday, seven men and nine women were selected to serve as jurors in a trial that could stretch into May. Though only 12 will participate in deliberations, the jurors don’t yet know which four of them will be designated as alternates. Both cases have experienced a number of delays, largely due to repeated trips to the state Supreme Court. The justices have reversed Ramsdell’s orders on three separate occasions. The high court is again being asked to weigh in, though it’s unclear what, if

any, impact that will have on McEnroe’s trial. On Friday, Ramsdell — noting the anniversary of the killings — denied a request by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Scott O’Toole to postpone opening statements another week. “I owe it to the public and the jurors to make sure this case moves forward on time,” he said. Defense costs through October have totaled $4.06 million in McEnroe’s case, and $4.58 million in Anderson’s case, according to the King County Department of Public Defense.

The combined cost of prosecuting both defendants — which does not include costs associated with the criminal investigation or work done by the State Patrol’s crime lab — is roughly $1.06 million through November, said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg. Anderson, also 36, has a September 2015 trial date, though it’s unclear if two recent developments could push her trial out further. After Anderson’s competency was challenged for the third time earlier

this year, Ramsdell ruled in October that she is competent to stand trial. Her attorneys, Colleen O’Connor and David Sorenson, have since filed a motion with the Supreme Court seeking discretionary review of Ramsdell’s competency ruling. They’ve also filed a motion seeking Ramsdell’s permission to withdraw from the case, citing a “complete and irreparable breakdown” in communication with Anderson. Both motions related to Anderson are to be heard in early January.

Bellevue firm opens new cannery in American Samoa By Fili Sagapolutele Associated Press

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa — A Bellevue company is making a $70 million investment in a tuna cannery in the U.S. territory of American Samoa. The canned tuna products from American Samoa will carry the “Made In USA” label, said officials with Tri Marine International, which took over the lease of a government property three years ago after another cannery closed. Tri Marine’s cannery plant is expected to employ some 1,500 workers when fully operational and is operated by the company’s Samoa Tuna Process Inc., located on seaside village of Atu’u. American Samoa’s economy is depended on the tuna cannery industry. “We are $70 million confident of our investment in the cannery project,” Tri Marine chief executive officer Renato Curto said. “Ultimately, our decision to invest came down to our belief that tuna is

a good, nutritious product, that tuna stocks can be sustainably managed for the long-term and that processing in the islands is the right thing to do,” he said. Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga said the territorial government stands firm in its support of Tri Marine, especially on this latest investment that will boost the local economy and provide more jobs to residents looking for work. The investment will allow the company to “remain competitive in this very competitive global industry,” Moliga said. Outgoing chamber of commerce chairman Lewis Wolman said besides the large workforce, the new cannery will have direct impacts like buying products from local vendors and supporting the shipping industry. But it will also have significant indirect impacts, such as the purchases made by workers from their paychecks. The inauguration ceremony was planned Jan. 10, but has been pushed back to Jan. 24 since there were last minute delays in

having materials delivered because of slow downs on West Coast ports, Tri Marine’s chief operation officer Joe Hamby said. The new cannery will focus on the U.S. market where tuna products from American Samoa are duty free, said Curto, adding this helps offset the higher cost of processing in the territory as compared with industrialized centers in low labor cost countries like Thailand, Philippines and China. “We are targeting retail and food service clients who want to know where their tuna was caught, who caught it, how it was caught and where it was processed,” Curto said. The company plans to produce private label and its own brand of tuna markets. The brand is made by Tri Marine subsidiary, The Tuna Store, and it is already on shelves under the name Ocean Naturals. In additional to the new cannery, Tri Marine’s Samoa Tuna Processor Inc., a cold storage facility, opened last year. The facility can receive fish directly from the fishing boats.

FILI SAGAPOLUTELE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Construction on a new unloading dock is under way at Tri Marine International’s Samoa Tuna Processors Inc. in the U.S. territory of American Samoa.

Curto said catch from the boats can be sized and separated by species before being processed by local plant or exported as whole fish. Tri Marine also owns a fleet of 10 U.S. flagged purse seiners based in Pago Pago to supply tuna to the cannery, he said. Curto said the company has invested

well over $200 million in American Samoa between its fleet and facilities. There have been some concerns by a few American Samoa officials that Tri Marine’s new cannery will compete with the company’s SolTuna Inc., cannery operation in the Solomon Islands, a South Pacific country with a land mass of

11,000 square miles. But Curto said SolTuna, which is a partnership between Tri Marine and the Solomon Islands government, produces products for other markets, which includes the South Pacific region and Europe where products from Solomon Islands have duty-free access.

Stock ownership plan for RAM Restaurant employees By Coral Garnick The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — The term ‘holiday bonus’ has a new meaning this year for more than 1,000 employees of RAM Restaurant and Brewery, who will be part of a new employee stock ownership plan with 30 percent stake in the restaurant chain. Their Lakewood-based employer, formally RAM International, announced just before Christmas that employees would be getting a 30 percent stake in the restaurant chain through a newly formed employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). “I’m going to spend more time over the course of the year with the RAM team than with my own family,” chief executive officer and co-owner Jeff Iverson said

in an interview. “And selfishly, it feels good to share.” Iverson’s father opened the first pub in Lakewood in 1971, and the family-owned business now operates 30 restaurants with three brands across six states, including 11 RAM locations in Washington and C.I. Shenanigans in Tacoma. Brothers Jeff and Dave Iverson will continue to lead RAM International, which Jeff said has revenues of more than $100 million. Jeff Iverson said this is something he and his brother have had in the back of their minds for years, but they had to buy out their parents and some minority partners before moving forward. CSG Partners, a boutique investment bank specializing in ESOPs, helped

the Iversons set up RAM’s program. CSG managing director Eitan Milstein led the transaction team and calls an ESOP a “win-win for everyone.” “At the end of the day this is a retirement plan ... it is not a get-rich-quick plan,” he said. “If you are going to stay with the company, you will have a nice pot of gold when you retire.” All employees who work at least 1,000 hours in a year qualify; currently that’s 1,100 of RAM’s 2,000 employees. The stock will be allocated to employees over time at no cost to them, based on how long they have been with the company and how much they earn, Milstein said. When they retire, the company has five years to pay them for their shares at their

current value. As for the company, creating the ESOP has a tax incentive. RAM took out a loan to create the ESOP and every year it has to make a payment toward that loan. RAM is allowed to make a pretax annual contribution to the ESOP equal to 25 percent of its payroll, Milstein said. If payroll is $10 million, the company can pay $2.5 million pretax to the ESOP, shrinking the tax liability the company will owe at the end of the year, and leaving the company with extra cash, he said. Scott Rodrick of The National Center for Employee Ownership in Oakland, Calif., said creating an ESOP is often a way for a business owner to slowly transition out of ownership.

“Instead of selling to an outsider ... it is a way to keep ownership in the family,” he said. “The employees end up owning (some of) the company, everyone stays in place and you don’t have an outsider coming in, selling chunks of it to get quick cash.” Iverson said the ESOP is the best way to diversify the company’s ownership while ensuring the legacy continues for a long time. However, he said, he has no plans to sell completely. “Someday I won’t be involved in the company,” Iverson, 49, said. “The restaurant business is a high-energy business, and when you get older, you won’t have as much energy, but I have no plans to go anywhere right now.” With three new restaurants opening in Colorado

and Ohio next year, Iverson said he hopes to promote the restaurants as “team member owned,” to help recruit employees. “We think we have a great team, but maybe there are people looking for a little something else,” he said. ESOPs have been around since 1974. According to the National Center for Employee Ownership, they are the most common form of employee ownership plan in the United States, with 7,000 companies covering 13.5 million employees. California-based Clif Bar & Co. and Mountain Hardware & Sports are employee-owned companies, as are Oregon-based Full Sail Brewing and Idahobased WinCo Foods, which has 19 stores in Washington.

Alaska court rules bison can roam freely on Kodiak Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The buffalo can roam freely again on Kodiak Island. The state Board of Game had previously decided that free-ranging bison were considered “feral” when the animals strayed from state or federal lands. Then in 2007 the board authorized a hunt of escaped bison on Kodiak. But the late rancher Charles Dorman, who

raised bison that were prone to roam on Kodiak Island, sued to stop the hunt. Dorman originally lost, but the state Supreme Court overturned a lowercourt ruling against him Friday, the Alaska Dispatch News reported. The court said the board was wrong when it deemed the bison feral. Bison ranching on Kodiak is a relatively recent development in the centuries-long history of

livestock rearing on the island. Russians brought the first cattle to Kodiak in the late 1700s, but ranchers lost dozens each year to the island’s hungry, gargantuan bears. Then in the 1990s, the ranchers turned to bison as an alternative, according to Larry Van Daele, a regional supervisor for the state Department of Fish and Game. There was one problem: “Bison are not just

bear-resistant, they’re fence-resistant,” Van Daele said. Dorman’s state grazing leases included tidal flats, which couldn’t be fenced. Sometimes as many as 150 of the bison would roam off the lease — allegedly destroying wetlands, and stoking fears that they could wander onto a nearby wildlife refuge or infect deer with communicable diseases. Then the proposal came

along to allow the public to hunt the “feral, free ranging bison.” After “lengthy deliberations,” according to the Supreme Court decision, the board changed a state rule so that any bison wandering off a state or federal grazing lease was deemed feral. It gave the two Kodiak bison ranchers a two-year grace period to retrieve their animals. When the Department of Fish and Game prepared to

authorize the hunt in early 2010, Dorman filed suit. But the lower court hadn’t properly considered that it was clear the bison to be hunted belonged to ranchers, the Supreme Court said. The rancher Charles Dorman died five months ago at age 78. “It’s sort of bittersweet,” said Tom Meacham, Dorman’s attorney. “He is not around to savor the victory.”

Gas is pumped into a car at the Eastcoast filling station in Pennsauken, New Jersey, on Dec. 18.

Five myths about gas taxes Misconceptions and politics are clouding the debate By Paul Bledsoe Special to The Washington Post

dramatic 40 percent drop in oil prices since June has prompted new discussion about raising the long-static federal gasoline tax and has many states considering gas tax hikes as well. At the federal level, Congress hasn’t increased the tax in more than 20 years, leaving it at 18.4 cents a gallon since 1993 — when gas cost a mere $1 a gallon. Among states, gas taxes average about 23.5 cents a gallon. Washington state levies a gas tax of 37.5 cents per gallon. Should we be paying more? Misconceptions about the history and politics of gas taxes are clouding the debate. The federal gas tax is intended to cut oil use and help the environment. The potential environmental benefits of raising gas taxes have been cited by environmental advocates and economists alike. “If the tax on gasoline were higher, people would alter their behavior to drive less,” economist Greg Mankiw wrote. “They would be more likely to take public transportation, use car pools or live closer to work. The incentives they face when deciding how much to drive would more closely match the true social costs and benefits.” But neither getting people to drive less nor reducing carbon

emissions is a goal of the federal gas tax. Instead, Congress instituted the modern tax in the 1950s to help pay for construction of the interstate highway system; in essence it is a user tax on drivers. A majority of the revenue is still “dedicated” to this purpose, meaning it goes directly to the federal Highway Trust Fund, not the general treasury. On the four occasions since the ‘50s that Congress has increased the tax, it stipulated that the additional revenue go to either to the Highway Fund or toward deficit reduction. (A small amount — less than 3 cents a gallon — is directed to fund mass transit.) The claims that higher taxes would have a positive impact on the environment or oil security are also questionable. Even if the federal gas tax went up by, say, 10 cents, it would remain a relatively small portion of the overall price of gas and would have far less influence on behavior than market-driven price fluctuations. And because studies show that more roads lead to more driving, oil consumption and exurban sprawl, any drop in consumption encouraged by higher taxes would be more than offset when new roads were built or old ones expanded. Conservatives oppose raising the gas tax, and liberals support it.

History doesn’t support the idea that voters will punish politicians for this tax increase. Yes, conservatives are usually the ones to stand behind the pledge “no new taxes.” But the federal gas tax has been raised under three Republican administrations (Eisenhower, Reagan and George H.W. Bush) and only one Democratic (Clinton). Although the red states of the South do tend to have slightly lower gas taxes than most other states, there isn’t a clear red-state-bluestate divide. Liberal-leaning New Jersey boasts one of the country’s lowest gas taxes, at less than 11 cents a gallon. And Republican governors and legislators — in Michigan, Utah, South Carolina, South Dakota and elsewhere — are among the most vocal advocates right now for raising gas taxes in their states. Conservatives tend to be more ideologically disposed to “consumption taxes,” such as a gas tax, rather than taxes on income or capital. That helps explain why Mankiw — chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers under George W. Bush and an adviser to Mitt Romney in 2012 — and moderate conservatives

such as Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson have long supported increasing the gas tax. Other conservatives such as Doug Holtz-Eakin, an adviser to both Presidents Bush and to John McCain, favor a carbon tax, with revenue used to cut other taxes and reduce pollution. As for liberals, many see the gas tax as “regressive,” hitting lower-income people hardest, and favor raising it only if the increase is explicitly offset by other reductions for lowerand middle-income taxpayers. That’s the deal Democrats struck when the gas tax was last increased, in 1993. Progressives also tend to prefer a carbon tax, instead of a gas tax, to discourage greenhouse gas emissions; a carbon pricing bill by liberal Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) would recycle three-quarters of revenue directly back to consumers. Raising gas taxes is political suicide. “I think it’s too toxic and continues to be too toxic,” Steve LaTourette, a former

Republican congressman and buddy of House Speaker John Boehner, told the Atlantic this month. “I see no political will to get this done.” While this is accepted Washington wisdom, history doesn’t support the idea that voters will punish politicians for this tax increase. Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton all raised the federal gas tax in their first terms; each was reelected. Ross Perot made a 50-cent-a-gallon gas tax hike the centerpiece of his 1992 presidential campaign and won the highest thirdparty vote total in the past 100 years. At the state level, governors of both parties have raised gas taxes recently without a clear pattern of voters turning them out. In New Hampshire, Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan signed a gas tax increase into law in May and was reelected handily in November, even in a Republican “wave election.” Wyoming almost doubled its gas tax in 2013, a move advocated by GOP Gov. Matt Mead, who won reelection this year by a wide margin. The latest drop in gas prices, along with pressing road repairs, may be changing the political dynamic even in red states. The president of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce recently announced that his See GAS, Page B9

Annual bird count provides vital conservation data The Audubon Society’s counts provide useful data to scientists so we can understand how birds and the environment are faring and how to better protect them. By David Yarnold McClatchy Washington Bureau

ere’s a holiday tradition you probably don’t know about. For decades, American men celebrated this season by teaming up to shoot birds, competing

with other local hunters. Pictures from that era show thousands of pheasants, songbirds and wild turkeys strung up on lines hung across horsedrawn wagons. So when Dr. Frank Chapman — an officer in the fledgling National Audubon Society

— suggested 115 years ago that counting birds each Christmas season might be a better idea, he never imagined the crucial role those bird counts would play for today’s scientists. In the coming weeks, an estimated 70,000 volunteer observers will brave winter weather to provide scientists with first-hand data on the fluctuation, range and movement of bird populations across the North American

IN OUR VIEW | 2015 legislative agenda

Election watchdog left to beg When a growing supply of money is being injected into political campaigns from a number of sources, it seems an odd time to continue cutting the budget of the state’s official campaign finance watchdog. Created by public initiative, the Public Disclosure Commission is responsible for receiving, examining, processing and making available the financial reports supplied by candidates and campaigns as well as investigating complaints involving campaign donations and finances. The process, in addition to providing information to voters, provides the “sunshine” that encourages political campaigns to follow the rules. Earlier this month at a forum on campaign finance

reform in Edmonds organized by the League of Women Voters of Snohomish County, Grant Degginger, the current PDC chairman, said that budget cuts in recent years as well as antiquated computer equipment have made it difficult at times for the agency to complete its work in a timely manner. And time is of the essence for an agency that deals with time-sensitive material. Reports and rulings on complaints released before an election can factor into voters’ decisions. After the election, the information is of limited interest. Degginger noted the agency was requesting $200,000 in its budget for computer upgrades to improve online access. It was also hoping to avoid further reductions of its staff.

Gov. Jay Inslee’s budget, according to an Associated Press story on Friday, sets aside $20,000 for technology upgrades and proposes cutting the PDC’s budget by 2 percent, which will result in the layoffs of three of the agency’s employees. That’s on top of earlier cuts in recent years that have reduced the size of the agency to less than 20 employees. Especially in a year when the state will have to focus much of the budget on education and transportation, it’s no surprise that some agencies are going to get less than what they had hoped for, regardless of demonstrable need and service to the public. But democracy and fairness in elections requires an able watchdog, particularly when

more and more money is pouring into campaigns, sometimes from sources not eager to publicize their participation. A state record of $32.5 million was spent by competing campaigns for I-1183 in 2011, which ultimately privatized liquor sales in the state. Two years later, the battle over I-522, which would have required labeling for genetically modified foods, generated $30 million in donations, $22 million of that for the “no” campaign. The PDC investigated complaints against the campaigns for and against I-522. With that much money coming in to run campaigns and pay for advertising, couldn’t a fraction of that be used to make sure everyone is playing by the rules?

county facilities, letterhead, personnel or promoting his name as the ombudsman in the foundation’s appeal. In other words, there wasn’t any administrative, civil or criminal violation that could be cited in the formal accusation. So, what other reason could they have used to deny Koster the opportunity to be reappointed to his job other than political?

improve the public health and safety.” Since The Herald ran this commentary, I am a little confused why it has not run a follow-up article to inform the public how the claims of these so-called experts have cut law enforcement costs and improved the public safety in our communities. The Herald has run enough individual stories involving marijuana since the passage of 1-502 to write a small book. The stories detail property damage and deaths from hash oil production explosions, armed robberies of marijuana dealers and enough traffic deaths to enlarge most of our graveyards. Recently the superintendent of the Edmonds School District stated that marijuana possession in the district has greatly gone up. This does not sound like the claims made by these drug experts are coming true. These claims do not show the only groups making any money since the passage of 1-502 are the folks involved in the production, processing and sale of marijuana and treatment of marijuana addicts. The aforementioned incidents does not include the heartache and sadness suffered by the victims families and friends of those folks who have come into contact with the users of marijuana since the passage of I-502. Doesn’t The Herald think the public should be entitled to know the rest of the story? Recently I think I would rather have a motorist smoke a cigarette before he entered a crosswalk in his car than “a bowl of marijuana as the motorist stated” when he killed me. (The Herald, Nov. 28.) New studies now show even infrequent use of marijuana by teens causes damage to their brains after recent tests.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■OMBUDSMAN

McCabe does Koster no favors I felt that there were persuasive arguments both for and against retaining John Koster. After he acknowledged his error and apologized though, I hoped he’d be reappointed. That being said, I don’t know exactly how the job description reads or what standards were established and agreed upon. Thus, I have no valid basis for challenging a decision made by those who did have the necessary information. I feel that it’s as plausible as not that their choice was made, not because of Koster’s political “views,” but because of negative impact his “activism” had on the credibility of the ombudsman position. An unfortunate thing about our form of government (and life in general) is that we don’t always get out way. The guest commentary by Tom McCabe, chief executive of Freedom Foundation, views the issue somewhat differently. (“Double-standard cost John Koster his job.”) Absolving Koster of all accountability, he casts him as a blameless political victim whose constitutional rights have been trampled. Apparently, in his little world, conjecture, denial and misguided anger for those of different political persuasions, are suitable substitutes for fact; no proof was provided to support his assertions. It’s hard to see how an endorsement from this gentleman benefits Koster in any way. Fair or not, we are judged by those with whom we associate. This is not to imply that Koster is in total agreement with McCabe on every issue. It would be understandable, however, if people jumped to that conclusion after reading McCabe’s childish rant. Of course, Mr. McCabe, I could be very wrong. Dan Postema Everett

■■OMBUDSMAN

Decision was entirely political The vote of the Snohomish County Council smacked of partisan politics at its worst in the case of Ombudsman John Koster as reported on Dec. 22 (Koster loses job as county’s first ombudsman.” Once the county had established the policy and funded the office, Koster “spent much of this year drafting rules for how the office should function,” apparently

Did the county executive find fault with Koster’s performance on the job? No! However, Koster actually stood accused of allowing his name to be used on a fundraising letter for the Freedom Foundation, a conservative organization. Koster is a recognized and well-publicized Snohomish County politician. The county council and executive knew that when they hired him. Under the circumstances, is it possible they failed to tell him that as a matter of policy he would now not have a right to act as a private citizen while in office? I don’t believe that to be true, yet it was apparent that the county executive used that as a reason when he could not show how Koster had — in any way — violated county policy.

Wealth is being spread, but not how you think

n 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama was lambasted for supposedly endorsing policies of wealth redistribution. The right feared that under an Obama presidency, Washington would use federal power to take money from some Americans and give it to others. Yet, only a few years later, the most explicit examples of such redistribution are happening in the states, and often at the urging of Republicans. The most illustrative example began in 2012, when Kansas’ Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed a landmark bill that delivered big tax cuts to DAVID SIROTA high-income earners and businesses. Less than two years after that tax cut, the state’s income tax revenues plummeted by a quarter-billion dollars — and now Brownback is pushing to use money for public employees’ pensions to instead cover the state’s ensuing budget shortfalls. Brownback’s proposal: Slash the state’s required pension contribution by $40 million to balance the state budget, even though Kansas already has one of the worst-funded pension systems in the nation. Brownback defended his proposal to take money from middle-class state workers and use it to effectively finance his tax cuts for the wealthy. He told the Wichita Eagle: “It’s kind of, uh, well where are you going to go for the funds? And I don’t like it, but it’s kind of what’s your other option if you don’t hit K-12 and higher ed with allotments?” Brownback is not alone. He joins fellow Republican Gov. Chris Christie in coupling large tax breaks with cuts to actuarially required pension payments. In New Jersey, Christie slashed required pension payments while signing legislation expanding tax credits to corporations, and doling out a record amount of taxpayer subsidies to businesses. Many of those subsidies have flowed to firms whose executives have made campaign contributions to Republican political organizations. Earlier this month, New Jersey pension trustees filed a lawsuit against Christie for not making legally required contributions to the state’s pension system. Both Brownback and Christie promoted their tax cuts as instruments to boost economic growth. Yet, a recent review of federal data by the Kansas City Star found Kansas “trails most other states when it comes to job growth.” Likewise, an investigative series by Gannett newspapers recently found “New Jersey’s job growth rate [is] the second worst in the nation. ... New Jersey’s middle class has lost billions in income through layoffs, salary cuts and wage freezes [and] more than 100,000 job seekers have been unemployed for months on end.” Illinois followed a somewhat similar path. For years, lawmakers did not make the full actuarially required pension payments, causing severe funding shortages in the state’s pension system. While lawmakers said there was little money to meet pension obligations, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed a corporate tax cut in 2011 that is projected to cost the state more than $370 million a year in lost revenue. Two years after signing that bill, as pension funding gaps swelled, Quinn signed legislation slashing public employees’ retirement benefits. An Illinois judge last month ruled that the legislation violated the state’s constitution, though the ruling is being appealed. The obvious question raised by these episodes is: Where is the outrage? To date, these attempts to use workers’ money to finance massive giveaways to the rich have generated little media coverage or political opposition — and certainly less than the full-fledged frenzy that took place when Obama made his “spread the wealth” comment a few years ago. The tepid response to this kind of wealth transfer suggests that for all the angry rhetoric about redistribution you might hear on talk radio, cable TV and in the halls of Congress, the political and media class is perfectly fine with redistribution — as long as the cash flows from the 99 percent to the 1 percent, and not the other way around.

Opinion polls consistently show that the American public supports a small increase — 10 cents — in the federal tax to improve road maintenance (67 percent in one survey) or even to fund projects to reduce global warming (50 percent), but very low support (20 percent) if no purpose is specified. Low gas taxes mean Americans spend less on gas than people in other countries. Advocates of higher gas taxes like to point out that the United

Tax cut activists’ numbers are Bird ‘dynamic’ and a little squishy From Page B7

hile most citizens were distracted by the holidays, the enlarged Republican majority in Congress was laying golden pavers for its magical kingdom — a fabulous place where taxes are cut, military spending is not and budgets balance effortlessly. The coat of arms reads, “Tax Cuts Pay for Themselves.” And to think the rubble has hardly been cleared from the ruins of the most recent magical kingdom, that ruled by George W. Bush. Not only did the Bush tax cuts not pay for themselves but tax revenue as a share of the economy today isn’t even close to what it was in 2000. So how can Republican leaders restore the realm? For starters, they’ve launched a campaign to replace Doug Elmendorf, the economist overseeing the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO is the nonpartisan agency that estimates the cost of legislation. Let it be noted that prominent conservative economists — among them Gregory Mankiw, chairman of W.’s Council of Economic Advisers — have called for Elmendorf’s reappointment. Elmendorf “is a superb economist and, over the past six years as CBO director, has shown himself to be scrupulously nonpartisan,” Mankiw said. But nonpartisan may not be partisan enough for tax cut activists. They want the bean counters to make the numbers work for them through the powers of “dynamic scoring.” The idea that reducing taxes could unleash new economic activity, generating new tax revenues, is not without merit. Dynamic scoring factors in those revenues. Count them, Republicans insist, and the burden of finding painful ways to pay for tax cuts is lightened. That makes tax cutting easier. Rep. Paul Ryan, the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, calls dynamic scoring “reality-based scoring.” The problem is the ease with which politicians can make their own reality. Dynamic

States has the lowest gasoline taxes (combined federal and state) of any industrialized country. Europe’s gas taxes are often 20 times higher, China’s are three times higher, and even developing countries have taxes far higher than in the United States. So Americans must spend less on gas, right? Not necessarily. With less than 5 percent of the global population, the United States consumes well over 20 percent of the world’s oil, largely because it has many more cars per capita (about one per person) and Americans drive longer distances more frequently. U.S. total vehicle miles traveled in 2013 were just below 3 trillion, or about 9,000 miles per person, far higher than in any other country.

FROMA HARROP scoring is a dark art, producing wildly different estimates, depending on the choice of economic model and other assumptions. For example, some kinds of tax cuts raise more revenues than other kinds. Another nonpartisan office, the Joint Committee on Taxation, did apply dynamic scoring to the tax reform plan submitted by retiring House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp. The result was eight scenarios, some considerably rosier than others. At the low end, the Camp plan would raise only $50 billion in additional revenue over 10 years. The high-end estimate was $700 billion — 14 times the low one. Furthermore, the optimistic $700 billion figure included deficit reductions that future Congresses might make. Some of the assumed policy changes weren’t even mentioned in the Camp plan. Bruce Bartlett, an economist in the Reagan and George H.W. administrations,

Europeans also drive cars that are on average at least 30 percent more fuel-efficient than the cars Americans drive, offsetting lower prices at the pump in the United States. Raising gas taxes now means consumers will be doubly penalized when gas prices go up again. Actually, consumer spending on gas is likely to fall further in the future, because fuel-efficiency regulations will roughly double the mileage of new cars over the next decade. Americans buying the same model car 10 years from now will get much higher gas mileage, and so pay less each year for gas, even if taxes were raised significantly. This coming revolution in mileage is another reason politicians see opportunities to

points to another flaw in the Republicans’ approach: the highly selective use of dynamic scoring on some elements of their proposals but not others. “Republicans want to use dynamic scoring only for tax cuts,” Bartlett wrote me in an email. “They refuse to acknowledge that spending, such as public works spending, also has dynamic effects. They should either do it for spending and taxes or not at all.” Bartlett added that “spending cuts can have negative dynamic effects that Republicans also never acknowledge.” The Joint Committee on Taxation’s models are themselves problematic, according to the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. For example, they count the economic benefits of investments in new machinery but not investments in worker training. Human capital doesn’t get much attention. But even when score-makers do their darnedest, they’re working with numbers pulled from air. So Republicans can use butterfly nets to catch those guesses that produce the conclusions they want. Bear in mind, the last time they performed their tax cut magic trick, things didn’t work out too well. Froma Harrop’s email address is fharrop@gmail.com.

raise gas taxes. A few years ago, a bipartisan group of former senators proposed broad-based tax reform largely financed by a gradual $1 increase in the gas tax. Their reasoning was simple: Consumers would not feel the difference. “Instituted along with a federally mandated increase in CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standards,” they said, “any increase in the cost of gasoline at the pump could be offset by better fuel efficiency.” Paul Bledsoe is a senior fellow on energy and society at the German Marshall Fund and president of Bledsoe & Associates, a policy consultancy. He was a staff member at the Senate Finance Committee and the Clinton White House.

It was this citizen science that allowed Audubon ornithologists — in a groundbreaking study released this year — to predict how climate change will alter the geographical ranges of North American bird species. We found that 314 of 588 species are at risk of losing more than 50 percent of their ranges by 2080 because of changes in our climate. The reason: Each species has a tolerance zone for climate conditions. When it gets too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry, birds will be forced to leave their homes. The good news this holiday season is that we still have time to give birds a fighting chance. To do that we must protect and preserve the places we know birds need today and in the future. And, we need to pitch in and do everything we can to slow the pace and severity of global warming. Data from the volunteer Christmas bird counters is helping conservationists and policymakers pinpoint priority areas for conservation. These are “strongholds” that will remain stable for multiple species of birds and provide birds bridges to live in the future as some areas become uninhabitable. This information will allow local city councils and federal lawmakers to consider the impact of climate change on birds and other wildlife when making decisions about conservation priorities, whether it’s a neighborhood land use issue or setting strategies for managing millions of acres of national parks and other public properties. While it’s critical that national leaders own responsibility for the sweeping regulations and laws that protect clean air and water and reduce greenhouse gas pollution, Americans have never just waited for politicians to take the initiative. We need to support efforts close to home — in our neighborhoods, our cities and states — assuming local control over some of these decisions in making our environment a safer place for both people and birds. But the Christmas Bird Count doesn’t just record gloom and doom. It also reveals success stories, helping document the comeback of our national bird, the bald eagle, the peregrine falcon and significant increases in waterfowl populations, all promising results of conservation efforts. Last year, our volunteers tracked the largest influx of snowy owls to the East Coast and Great Lakes ever documented during a count. Clean air and water and protecting natural habitats for the future should not be political issues. These are bird issues. And just as important, these are people issues. Frank Chapman had no idea he was birthing a database for the largest, longest-running animal census on the planet. Our grandchildren owe him — and every one of the 70,000 counters — a huge thanks for helping us build that data base so we can see the long-term effects of the conservation actions we take in communities across the Americas.

netted a 3-pointer with 1:52 remaining in the game to get the Vikings to within six, but that’s as close as they would get. Monroe scored 13 of its 19 fourth-quarter points from the free-throw line to close out the win. “It was defensive stops and staying patient with our offense,” Chalfant said. “We didn’t panic offensively. We didn’t jack up quick shots. We ran through our sets, we got good looks and we capitalized on those looks.” Alexander scored 14 points and grabbed eight steals for Monroe, which used tough defensive pressure to force Inglemoor (6-1) turnovers. “She was huge. She’s come so far in her defense,” Chalfant said of Alexander. Senior Kylee Ferreira added 14 points — 11 of which came from free throws and Drivstuen added eight for Monroe (6-3 overall). Chalfant said the key to

Monroe’s success may have started a day earlier in the Bearcats’ first game of the tournament — a 48-40 win over Garfield. “I think it all started (Friday) with our Garfield win,” Chalfant said. “We were down by three with three minutes left and we were able to get stops and win by eight. I think for us, that just turned on a little ignition switch of confidence. Coming into today, the girls had confidence. You could see it in the pregame in the locker room.” Monroe’s confidence may be even higher after a victory against the No. 2 4A team in the state. “It was important. We wanted to go out there and play our hardest,” Alexander said. “It definitely helps with our confidence. Coming in and getting this win helps us know that we can beat these teams and know that in hard games we can come back and still get it.”

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — The Monroe girls basketball team got a late Christmas present Saturday afternoon. The Bearcats went up against Inglemoor, the No. 2 team in the latest Associated Press 4A poll, and knocked off the Vikings 52-43, handing Inglemoor its first loss of the season at the Mountlake Terrace Holiday Tournament. Inglemoor was without Deja Strother, a University of Washington commit who averages over 20 points per game. Strother is in New York with her family for a holiday trip. “It’s a huge win for our program, absolutely,” said Monroe head coach Matt Chalfant. “They didn’t have Deja today — and that’s too bad, we wanted to play against her — but at the same

time Inglemoor is a fantastic team still. Even without her. A lot of props to what they do. They’re going to be just fine this season. They’re going to be fighting for a state berth.” The Bearcats, who hope to fight for a state berth themselves, took their first lead of the game midway through the second quarter on a 3-pointer by Hannah Drivstuen to put Monroe up 18-16. Monroe outscored Inglemoor 14-6 in the period and took a 24-20 lead at halftime. After a back-and-forth third quarter, Monroe opened the fourth with a 7-0 run, capped with a Jadynn Alexander basket and a free throw to give the Bearcats a 10-point lead. “They came out with a lot of energy and I think we fought back well — we really worked as a team — and kept hustling,” Alexander said.

Dodgers close to signing Taiwanese pitcher expelled amid allegations of game-fixing Herald news services The Dodgers are close to signing right-hander Chin-hui Tsao, who has not played professional baseball since the Taiwanese league expelled him five years ago amid allegations of game-fixing. The Dodgers are expected to sign Tsao to a minor league contract. It is not clear whether he would get an invitation to the major league spring training camp. The Dodgers also are expected to announce the signing of left-hander Brett Anderson early next week, perhaps as soon as Monday. The team reached agreement on a one-year, $10-million contract with Anderson earlier

this month, pending a physical examination and consultation among medical specialists. Tsao, 33, appeared in 21 games as a reliever for the Dodgers in 2007. He previously played for the Colorado Rockies, becoming the first Taiwanese pitcher in Major League Baseball. He signed with the Kansas City Royals in 2008, but he did not make the major league roster. In 2009, he played for the Brother Elephants of the Taiwan’s CPBL (Chinese Professional Baseball League). The CPBL banned him after an investigation into game-fixing, according to reports, but he never was charged with any offenses. The Dodgers are believed

to have gotten clearance from the MLB commissioner’s office to pursue Tsao. In November, with Tsao reportedly hitting 95 mph as he launched a comeback, he signed with the Adelaide Bite of the Australian Baseball League. He traveled to Australia but, under pressure from the CPBL, the ABL refused to allow him to play.

Police question Castro SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Authorities in the Dominican Republic questioned Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro after a nightclub shooting Saturday morning in which several people were injured. Police spokesman Jacobo Mateo said Castro was one of six people initially detained and has been released. He said police searched Castro’s house and that the investigation is ongoing. Paul Kinzer, Castro’s agent, said his client went to the police on his accord to make sure they knew he wasn’t involved. The shooting occurred in the northwest province of Montecristi, where the 24-year-old Castro is from. Police are investigating allegations that the shooting occurred after an argument between Castro’s brother and the assistant of a government official.

Undefeated Huskies host Stony Brook By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Before they venture into the Pac-12 portion of their schedule, the 13th-ranked Washington Huskies must complete one more nonleague tuneup on Sunday night at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. And if the Huskies handle the visiting Stony Brook Seawolves (5 p.m., Pac-12 Networks) as expected, they’ll finish their nonconference slate unbeaten for the first time since 2005-06, and they’ll

start a season 12-0 for the first time since winning the first 14 games of the 1975-76 season (although they officially began that season 18-0, because Oregon State had to forfeit what would have been a 72-70 victory in UW’s 15th game). UW coach Lorenzo Romar will note that an unblemished record at the start of conference play doesn’t mean everything. But it means more than nothing. “I think it’s definitely a worthy goal. With our team, this will be our 12th

game, so by no means does this make a season,” Romar said Saturday morning. “Like I said before, win or lose, this doesn’t make the season. But to be able to say that you were undefeated in nonconference, for one, beats the alternative, and two, it gives you a lot of momentum and confidence going into conference.” And it’s not something the Huskies achieve all that often. “If it wasn’t that big of a deal,” Romar said, “we’d do it every year. So it’s an accomplishment if we were

to do that.” They are expected to, though Stony Brook is expected to compete for the America East championship this season after winning 23 games, finishing second in the conference and playing in the College Basketball Invitational last year. The Seawolves are led in scoring by junior guard Carson Puriefoy (15.2 points per game) and junior forward Jameel Warney (14.9), who also leads the nation in rebounds with 12.8 per game. Warney’s presence

should pose a challenge for the Huskies, who rank 10th in the Pac-12 in defensive rebound percentage, collecting only 66.9 percent of their opponents’ misses so far. “(Friday) in practice, we did a couple drills that emphasize boxing out, and going and getting rebounds instead of just trying to tap them and everything like that,” said fourthyear junior guard Andrew Andrews. “... It’s going to be a challenge for us to step up and rebound, and not just go to the ball. We have to box out. They have three or four guys who crash consistently, so it’s going to be a challenge for us.” Said Romar: “It’s going to be a big test for us to see if we’ve learned anything in the last week, in terms of blocking out and getting rebounds.” Washington players returned to practice on Friday after a three-day break

for Christmas. Romar said he thought the Huskies suffered from “mental fatigue” during their sloppy, 66-57 victory over Tulane last Monday, and figured some time away from the court would help. “Sometimes, it’s not just the physical demands. It’s the mental demands,” Romar said. “You’re drained mentally because you’re constantly studying for an exam when you’re practicing. You’re trying to devour and digest these scouting reports. It takes such a high level of concentration to make sure you’re in the right position on the floor, you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do. So to get away from it and just let your mind kind of get cleansed a little bit is always good.” They hope it shows against Stony Brook, with more taxing matchups next week at California and Stanford on deck.

Gonzaga tops BYU 87-80 in WCC opener By Jim Meehan The Spokesman-Review

PROVO, Utah — There is taking it one game at a time. There is the game within the game. And then there was Gonzaga-BYU for 40 backand-forth, occasionally frantic, wildly entertaining minutes Saturday. “It felt like four games within one,” Zags coach Mark Few said. “Luckily we made the plays, tightened

up our defense down the stretch. That’s what made the difference.” The Zags will only get credit for one win, but it was a big one that required them to dig out of a rare second-half deficit to defeat BYU 87-80 in the WCC opener for both teams in front of 20,900 at the Marriott Center. It took Kevin Pangos’ 18 second-half points, Gary Bell’s seven boards and defensive work on Tyler Haws, Kyle Wiltjer’s 24 points, Przemek Karnowski’s near double-double, Kyle Dranginis’ and Silas Melson’s contributions off the bench and Byron Wesley’s clutch plays in the final 65 seconds. “It was our scrappiness,” Bell pointed out, “and our will to win.” The eighth-ranked Zags (12-1) led by 16 midway through the first half. They trailed by six in the second half — their largest deficit this season was eight against Southeastern Louisiana — before slowly taking control in the final 15 minutes. Pangos scored 10 consecutive points as GU pulled even at 57. Bell hit his only basket, a 3-pointer, and Pangos connected again from long distance. BYU (10-4) pulled ahead for the last time on Frank Bartley’s three free throws and tied it at 67 on Anson Winder’s fade-away jumper. Gonzaga scored on its next four possessions. Wiltjer dropped a baseline jumper, Pangos buried a 3, Wiltjer added another 3 after Gonzaga swiftly moved the ball against BYU’s zone and Melson soared for a dunk on a nice pass from Karnowski. The Cougars hit four free throws — they were 27 of 31 at the stripe — to pull within three. Wesley drove the right side of the lane and connected on a floater for his first field goal of the second half. The USC transfer wasn’t done, stripping the ball away from Kyle Collinsworth and then getting fouled with 38.1 seconds left. He made both free throws to boost GU’s lead to seven.

Panthers From Page C1

Shorecrest, which led for most of the game. Junior guard Drew Magaoay scored seven of the Scots’ first nine points and helped them build an 11-4 lead, but Snohomish battled back with an 8-0 run. The Panthers led 17-13 after one period, but the second quarter belonged to Shorecrest. The Scots outscored the Panthers 20-6 then to build a 33-23 halftime lead. Magaoay capped it all off by making a half-court shot at the buzzer that gave his team its first double-digit lead. Magaoay had 12 points in the first two quarters, but the Panthers defense tightened on the talented point guard in the second half, allowing him just six points after the break. He finished with 18. “In the second half, we tried to just limit his touches a little bit more,” Bone said. “We played a little bit of box-and-one, but even at that, he still went past the one and through the box several times. In a game like that, we were just fortunate that we hit a shot because either team could have come out of there with a win.” Snohomish trimmed the Scots’ lead to five by the end of the third quarter, but that momentum failed to carry over in the opening minutes of the final quarter. Shorecrest scored the first five points to bump the lead back up to 10 before the Panthers made their final push. The Panthers went on a 9-0 run highlighted by two Shogren 3s. The second, which came with 3:48 to play in the game and cut the deficit to one at 50-49. Moments later, Snohomish took the lead for the first time since the second quarter. “I thought we did a good job of just kind of sticking with It,” Bone said. Snohomish senior Collin Kane

gave his team a 56-54 lead with 1:25 to play with old-fashioned three-point play. Shorecrest answered with two free throws by senior Brantle Harris to tie it at 56, only to have Kane give the Panthers the lead again using his imposing 6-foot-9 frame for two more points in the paint. Kane chipped in 19 points for the Panthers. After Kane’s basket, Shorecrest called timeout to draw up a play for Magaoay. Despite his second-half struggles, Magaoay delivered with a reverse layup with 22 seconds remaining to tie the score at 58. The Panthers didn’t call a timeout, instead they went to Shogren, who came off a double screen and made his eighth 3-pointer of the game. “It’s one of the things we run,” Bone said. “It looks good when you make the shot. It doesn’t look so good when you turn it over or miss the shot. We’ve done that, too.” Snohomish’s defense held Shorecrest to 13 points in the final quarter, while its offense exploded for 27. “We were more alert,” Bone said. “We got our hands on some balls. We didn’t let Drew get nine or 10 points. We were better as a team defensively.” The Panthers’ second-half surge also was aided by cutting down on turnovers. They had 10 in the first half, but just four after halftime. Shogren’s return was welcomed by the Panthers, but point guard Zak Carlson missed the game. The Panthers, who improved to 3-4 this season, are yet to play a game at full strength. “We’ve got to get all of our pieces there,” Bone said. “We’re playing games of chess without a couple of guys. You’ve got to be pretty good at chess if you’re missing a couple of pieces.” Aaron Lommers covers prep sports for The Herald.

Sun Devils top Duke in Sun Bowl Associated Press EL PASO, Texas — Kalen Ballage was itching to do something, anything, to help his Arizona State teammates beat Duke. When he got his chance, he came through in a big way, returning a kickoff 96 yards to set up the winning score in No. 15 Arizona State’s 36-31 victory Saturday in the Sun Bowl. “It felt great,” Ballage said. “I told the seniors, ‘I got to do something.’ They helped me grow. That was going through my head. I really wanted to do that for them.” Ballage’s big return came after Duke (9-4) took a 31-30 lead — its first advantage of the game — on receiver Jamison Crowder’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Blakeney with 5:03 left. On the drive, punter Will Monday threw to a wide-open Johnell Barnes on fourth-and-11 from the 50. Four players later, Duke took the lead on the trick play on fourth-and-2. On the kickoff, Ballage took the ball near the goal line and went straight up the right hash for about 15 yards before picking up a block and cutting to his right. He was pushed out of bounds at the 4. “It was an amazing feeling,” Ballage said. “The blocks just got set up perfectly.” On the next play, Demario

AT A GLANCE | St. Louis at Seattle SERIES HISTORY

From Page C1

The Seahawks lead the regular-season series 20-12, and are 12-4 at home against the Rams, including nine straight at home (not counting St. Louis’ playoff win in Seattle). The Rams won the most recent meeting, however, a 28-26 victory in St. Louis earlier this season.

KEY MATCHUP Rams P Johnny Hekker against Seattle’s special teams No, seriously, the punter. OK, OK, so it’s not just the former Bothell High quarterback that the Seahawks need to be aware of, but rather what he represents—the element of surprise. Every team has a few trick plays it can use on special teams, but few actually try them out as often as the Rams, who beat the Seahawks earlier this season largely on the strength of two unexpected plays. First, St. Louis got a big punt return touchdown thanks to some clever misdirection which saw 10 Rams players sell that the punt was going one way, while Stedman Bailey actually tracked the ball to the other side, caught it, then returned it up the sideline 90 yards for a score. Later in that game, Hekker completed an 18-yard pass on a fake punt from the Rams’ 18-yard line, keeping the Seahawks from getting a final possession while trailing two points. “It’s just trying to give our guys an opportunity to win games,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “Special teams is a part of it. So our guys respond well, they’re excited about the things we add in on a weekly basis, and they expect to go out there and execute it if we dial them up. “It’s about possessions. It’s about stealing a possession and that’s what you need.” In 2012, the Rams beat the Seahawks in part because of a Hekker touchdown pass on a fake field goal. In his career, he’s 5-for-6 as a passer for 79 yards and a touchdown, and it’s no coincidence that the Rams’ punter is a former quarterback. “It was important to us,” Fisher said. “We wanted to have the flexibility, the athletic ability, and the ability to throw it and run it on occasion so that was a contributing factor.” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll knows his team, and his special teams units in particular, need to be paying attention this week, but they also knew that about the Rams two months ago and still fell victim to two trick plays. It’s one thing to know something might be coming, it’s another thing to actually stop it. “He’s always especially dangerous,” Carroll said of Fisher. “He’s a terrific football coach who’s been through everything and we have great respect (for him). It won’t surprise us that he surprises us. It’s kind of how we’re going to look at it. We’re really going to be tuned in and see if we can play a real thorough game and really see everything that’s coming at us. We’re on full alert right now.” Rams special teams players like Hekker appreciate having a coach who is willing to make risky calls and put the game in their hands, but they also know that means they have to execute. “It’s very fun, but it’s also, to whom much is given, much is expected, so we’ve got to make sure we’re always ready and do our best when we do have those fake opportunities just to make sure we know what we’re doing,” Hekker said. “We practice it enough that we are ready to go on Sundays. Being able to play for a coach that does like to throw that kind of stuff in quite frequently is kind of fun. Throwing the players a bone who sometimes don’t get recognized gives them a little bit of an opportunity to get some attention out there.”

Gaines is doubtful because of a concussion but otherwise everyone on the 53-man roster is expected to be available, with the only other players on the injury report all listed as probable.

BREAK IT DOWN Seahawks will win if they… >> Protect Russell Wilson again. The Rams had just one sack when they hosted the Seahawks in Week 7, but had three in that game and now have 37 this season despite the slow start. The Seahawks, who gave up just one sack last week, will need to be strong in that department again facing a team that has sacked Russell Wilson 22 times in five meetings. >> Keep winning one-on-one matchups. While the Rams and Cardinals are not the same schematically, one thing they have in common is aggression when it comes to getting after the quarterback, and last week the Seahawks showed they can capitalize on that aggression with big plays. The Seahawks won’t likely approach 600 yards again, but there will be chances to make plays >> Don’t get caught up in chippiness. Jeff Fishercoached teams have a history of being, um, let’s just say aggressive, and we saw that turn ugly in St. Louis’ game against the Giants last week when a fight broke out. The last thing the Seahawks need right before the playoffs is a key player getting caught up in extracurricular activities. Rams will win if they … >> Throw caution to the wind. The Rams’ playoff hopes are long gone, but they can play spoiler against a division rival. St. Louis tends to be aggressive, especially on special teams, regardless of the situation, so why not try a few trick plays with nothing to lose? >> Keep Russell Wilson in check. Despite losing in St. Louis earlier this season, Wilson had one of his more impressive performances while nearly leading the Seahawks back from an 18-point deficit. In that game, Wilson became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 and rush for 100 in one game, he accounted for three touchdowns, and did all of that without turning the ball over. >> Create turnovers. In addition to being aggressive on special teams, the Rams might need to take chances on defense to make something happen. Bringing extra pass rushers to create pressure or jumping a route on a pass might lead to a big play for Seattle, but that could also be the recipe for a game-altering turnover.

PICK Seahawks 23, Rams 10 The Rams always seem to make things tough for Seattle, but the Seahawks aren’t losing this game at home with so much at stake unless they shoot themselves in the foot, repeatedly. — John Boyle, Herald Writer

from the neck up and the knees down like they are now, which makes it considerably harder on today’s pass rushers who have to think not just about how they’re going to beat a blocker, but where they’re going to hit the quarterback if they get there so as to avoid a penalty and a fine. I’m not arguing that rules aimed at player safety are a bad thing — we’ve learned so much about the serious long-term effects of head injuries in the past decade — but a side effect of those rules is that they make life harder on defenses. “I’d love to see us back then; I’d love to see us have a chance,” cornerback Richard Sherman said. “I have no idea how we’d play. We might be terrible back then. They may rough us up and run us out the building, but I’d love to see us have a chance back then with the rules the way they are. No illegal touching, no defensive holding, no roughing the passer. Oh man, it’d be ... I don’t know if Kam Chancellor would be fair for a lot of people. He stays in a dark place and I don’t know if enough people could bring the flashlight to get him out.” On its own, the 2013 defense is one of the best ever. That group led the NFL in scoring defense, passing defense, total defense and takeaways, then punctuated it by holding an all-time great quarterback and highest scoring offense in NFL history to eight points in the Super Bowl. Combined with this team, which minus the takeaways is playing at as high of a level as last year’s team, and which in recent weeks has played better than it ever has, and you have over a two-year span something incredibly rare, especially if the Seahawks are able to keep it up through another Super Bowl run. “I don’t think we’ll really realize how good we are until like 10 years from now when we go back and look at it,” linebacker K.J. Wright said. “But right now we’re definitely doing things that teams in the past haven’t done. It looks good, it feels good, but we’ve got to be able to finish strong.” What makes Seattle’s run of dominant defense all the more impressive is that it appears to be sustainable in an era of free agency and a salary cap, mechanisms put in place to try to keep sustained dominance from happening (another thing this defense has going for it over earlier ones in the best-ever argument). Six of Seattle’s most important defensive players — Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, K.J. Wright and Cliff Avril — have signed long-term deals in the past two years, and Bobby Wagner figures to join that list soon. Shrewd talent evaluation, player development and Carroll’s underrated coaching and game-planning have not just helped Seattle built the league’s best defense; those are also reasons why it should stay good even when key players move on for various reasons in coming years. (Carroll for so long has been seen as a master motivator or a rah-rah guy that it’s easy to overlook that he also possesses one of the best defensive minds in football.) And the players at the core of this defense feel like they’re still only getting better, if not physically then in their understanding of the game. Take, for example, a play in the third quarter of last week’s game. As Sherman described it, Thomas noticed a formation they had studied in which Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald starts by running a shallow crossing route out of a bunch formation, but then turns up field on a wheel route looking for a big play. Thomas made sure Wagner saw it, too, then Wagner ran step for step with Fitzgerald down field. While Bennett’s pressure on Ryan Lindley forced a bad throw, a good one would have been contested by Wagner, with Thomas closing in from behind just in case Wagner couldn’t make the play. There was so much on display on that simple incomplete pass — from Bennett’s pass-rush ability to Wagner’s speed to cover a receiver to, most importantly, a maturing defense’s ability to know what is coming. “It was an incomplete pass and it doesn’t seem like a lot,” Sherman said. “But when you understand the game and you’re running routes for people and you’re calling out plays, it’s good defense.” So good, in fact, that Bennett may be onto something when he calls it the greatest ever.

Report: Harbaugh expected to take Michigan job By Cam Inman San Jose Mercury News

ROSS D. FRANKLIN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman celebrates with fans after Seattle’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.

A year to remember 2014 has been quite a ride for Seahawks’ cornerback Richard Sherman By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Richard Sherman’s life in the last year has been beyond most dreams. Including his own. A televised rant immediately after January’s NFC title game that spawned a national discussion on race that Sherman poignantly steered. A Super Bowl title, when he and the Seahawks’ defense shut down the prolific Peyton Manning and the Broncos. A new, $56 million, four-year contract with a whopping $40 million guaranteed. Time magazine naming Seattle’s cornerback one of its 100 most influential people in the world. Cementing his top pop-culture status, he was the cover man for the NFL “Madden 15” video game. By then it was only early spring. Visiting the White House with his teammates in May while honored by Barack Obama for being the Super Bowl champions. President Obama inviting him back to D.C. as a rare athlete attending the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. Hearing the president joke: “Sometimes I do feel disrespected by you reporters. But that’s OK. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is here tonight. And he gave me some great tips on how to handle it.” And this season, being one interception away from the NFL record for most in the first three years of a career. As Sherman’s comprehensive-yet-incomprehensible 2014 ends, as the All-Pro and his shutdown defense of the Seahawks (11-4) seek to stop the St. Louis Rams (6-9) Sunday at CenturyLink Field to clinch another NFC West title and home-field advantage throughout conference playoffs, he just shakes his head. His braided hair sways. “You take a few seconds to recap and appreciate the big goals that you accomplished. But at this stage you keep your head down grinding because you don’t want to become complacent,” Sherman told The News Tribune on Christmas Eve, inside the Seahawks locker room at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “Like all the guys you hear about that get big contracts and get nice things, they get complacent and then go on to mediocrity.” But as you and the rest of the league may be able to tell by now, mediocrity and Sherman don’t mix much. Has this past year been beyond his wildest dreams? “It definitely is. It definitely is. I can’t say that it’s something I believed would happen, Sherman said. “But I think I’ve gotten a lot of grace. It’s been God’s grace to allow me to get to this point and succeed the way I have. “That and hard work and

dedication will continue to propel me.” In that way he’s the same he’s been since leaving Compton, California, for Stanford, and then leaving Stanford for Seattle as an overlooked, fifth-round draft choice in 2011. If he hasn’t changed after this year, he never will. He acknowledges he forced a discussion about race into our society with his heated comments about 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree in that on-field interview with Fox immediately following last January’s NFC Championship game. The president even discussed Sherman in that light, while the cornerback and his Seahawks teammates stood behind him at The White House in May. “He grew up in Compton with some wonderful people — but also with gangs and drugs and guns,” Obama said that day of Sherman. “His dad had to wake up at 4 a.m. every day to drive a garbage truck. “But because of his dad’s hard work and his family and his mom, Richard ended up earning a 4.2 GPA in high school and went to college. ... He showed in his neighborhood that they could make it. “And if he seems a little brash, it’s because you’ve got to have attitude sometimes if you are going to overcome some of this adversity. And the fact that he still goes back to inspire high schoolers for higher goals and making better choices, that’s allstar behavior.” A national-television audience saw him intercept the 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick twice on Thanksgiving night last month, part of his NFL-best 24 interceptions since 2012 which are one short of Lester Hayes’ and Everson Walls’ shared league record for most in the first three seasons of a career. They saw him taunting the 49ers’ sideline after each play, then watch as he and

teammate Russell Wilson gnaw on the turkey NBC provided for them at midfield on Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara for being co-players of the game. Sherman said he got a glass bottle thrown at him by a 49ers fan after that. What the nation doesn’t see is Sherman two days before Christmas, giving gifts to needy families through his Blanket Coverage, the Richard Sherman Family Foundation. That’s something else he’s done in the last year, starting it in 2013 with a stated mission to “provide students in low-income communities with school supplies and clothing so they can more adequately achieve their goals.” “We were able to start a couple of people’s Christmas early for some very deserving families,” Sherman said of his event Monday. He and his Seahawks’ Sunday is truly the “championship opportunity” coach Pete Carroll constantly talks about for each game – even ones that don’t have a division title and top playoff seed on the line as this rematch with the Rams does. “Our mentality, that’s one of our stabilizing forces, our mentality being ever the same. It’s always a championship mentality,” Sherman said. “I think that’s kind of what gets teams. I remember last week, hearing about Arizona — this is the biggest game of the year, of the franchise. The coach making a big hubbub about it. Didn’t work out very well for them.” The Seahawks smacked the previously 11-3 Cardinals 35-6. “Because you don’t treat games different. You don’t get up for games and then get down for the next game,” Sherman said. “I’ll be interested to see how they play this week (the Cardinals are at San Francisco), because what does that mean? Does that mean you got hyped for us and you’re not going to give this team respect? Or does that mean you got hyped for us and you’re

going to get hyped again? “That’s why I like Pete’s approach. Every week is a championship week because it doesn’t allow you to have those peaks and valleys.” The Seahawks had a few of those, anyway, this season. A valley was in mid-October in St. Louis. Two days after the abrupt trade of Percy Harvin while the players were boarding the bus to the airport to play the Rams, Seattle fell behind 21-3 in the second quarter and lost 28-26, an upset that left Seattle 3-3. The Seahawks’ other valley came last month at Kansas City, a 24-20 loss that left the Super Bowl champs 6-4 and in danger of missing the playoffs. In an interview room beneath Arrowhead Stadium after that loss Wilson said: “We’ve got six games left. ... I believe all six games we’re going to win.” A victory today in the rematch with the Rams would complete Wilson’s belief. At this peak of Seattle’s season, St. Louis is starting 13-year veteran backup Shaun Hill at quarterback this time; Austin Davis played against the Seahawks in October. Hill has more losses in December starts (three) over his 13-year career mostly as a fill-in than Wilson has in December over three seasons. Wilson is seeking his 12th win in 14 December starts. This one would give Seattle the conference’s top seed for the third time in franchise history. The two times the Seahawks have advanced to the Super Bowl were after having home-field advantage throughout the postseason, at the end of the 2005 and ’13 seasons. A victory over the Rams would also be a fittingly victorious cap to an out-of-this-world 2014 for the Seahawks — and specifically for Sherman. “We’re going to shoot for the moon,” Sherman said, describing his team this week but also himself this year, “and hopefully land on a star.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jim Harbaugh could be going back to school. Once he coaches the 49ers for an apparent final time Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Harbaugh is expected to accept an offer to coach his alma mater, the University of Michigan, according to Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole. Michigan officials are believed to be in the Bay Area to formally present a six-year, $48 million offer to Harbaugh, who’s finishing out the fourth year of a five-year deal with the 49ers. “That’s what everybody on staff believes is going to happen this week,” a source said in the Bleacher Report article, which cited two of Harbaugh’s assistants and a league source. “Jim has figured out that his style is best-suited for the college game. His shtick works better with young guys who are gone after three or four years.” The Raiders, however, are expected to make a bid for Harbaugh once the 49ers (7-8) wrap up their season against the Arizona Cardinals (11-4). Other NFL openings also could occur and bring more suitors for the 51-year-old coach. While with the 49ers, Harbaugh’s regular-season winning percentage (.697) ranks fourthbest among those who’ve coached in the Super Bowl era, behind only John Madden (.763), Vince Lombardi (.738) and George Allen (.712). Harbaugh’s reign with the 49ers has included two NFC West titles, three NFC Championship games, a Super Bowl berth and an overall record of 48-22-1, including a 43-19-1 mark in the regular season. Despite such early success, Harbaugh and 49ers CEO Jed York could not agree on a raise nor extend his contract beyond 2015. Contract talks were tabled prior to this season, which both sides agreed to be a boom-orbust year for a franchise that now hasn’t won a Super Bowl in 20 years. Rumored conflicts with York and general manager Trent Baalke apparently paved Harbaugh’s exit, as York even acknowledged before the season that such tension existed and that it could be a positive. When Harbaugh agreed to a deal (five years, $25 million) to leave Stanford after the 2010 season, he joined a 49ers franchise in an eight-year playoff drought under former coaches Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary. The latter was replaced for the 2010 regular-season finale by defensive line coach Jim Tomsula. Tomsula and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are thought to be the 49ers’ top in-house candidates to replace Harbaugh. The 49ers’ hiring process must also include an interview with a minority candidate to satisfy the league’s Rooney Rule. Prior to joining the 49ers, Harbaugh spent his first seven years as a head coach in the college ranks, first at the University of San Diego (2004-06) and then at Stanford (2007-10). After playing at the University of Michigan under Bo Schembechler from 1982-86, Harbaugh enjoyed a 15-year playing career and broke into coaching in 2002 and 2003 as a Raiders offensive assistant.

Browns suspend Gordon Associated Press CLEVELAND — Browns’ wide receiver Josh Gordon was suspended Saturday for missing a team walk-through and will miss the finale in Baltimore. Gordon, who led the NFL in yards receiving last season, served a 10-game suspension for repeated drug violations earlier this year. A person familiar with the situation said Gordon, who caught 24 passes for 303 yards. was suspended for not showing up at a walk-through in Berea before the team flew to Baltimore.

Tips From Page 1

Vancouver’s Tyler Benson took down Tips defenseman Cole MacDonald as MacDonald skated the puck out from behind his own net, prompting Papp’s hand to go up for the penalty call. Just 11 seconds later it was over when Nikita Scherbak scored the game’s lone goal. “(The penalty) was huge,” said Everett goaltender Austin Lotz, who turned aside all 28 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season and eighth of his career. “They made a couple plays we thought should have been penalties, I think we made a couple of plays that should have been penalties, too. It was a little surprising seeing Papp make the call there. But fortunately for us he did, and it won us the game.” That turn of events gave Everett (21-9-3-1) a victorious return from its Christmas break — the Tips had nine days off following the 7-6 shootout victory over Victoria on Dec. 17 that concluded the first half. It also gave Vancouver coach Claude Noel his first taste of defeat. The Giants were a perfect 6-0 since Noel took over following the firing of Troy Ward, and the team’s seven straight victories had been the longest active winning streak in the league. “They’re obviously right now the hottest team in the league, so you have to respect how good they’ve been playing,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine said. “They showed a lot of that tonight, so they’re a good team.” Everett’s victory wasn’t without its warts. The Tips played an energetic first period, but Vancouver took the initiative the rest of the way. Lotz was primarily responsible for the game remaining scoreless through regulation as he was forced into several difficult saves, particularly early in the second period when the Giants monopolized the puck. “We were really good in the first and not real good after that,” Constantine said. “I liked how we started, I liked our preparation. We showed a little at the start of the second what’s been our biggest issue this year: We’re not real consistent. We’re good and bad with it in shifts and periods and games, and it was the same tonight. We had a very good first, but they responded in the second and our game went down a bit. There’s parts of our game I liked and parts that were inconsistent.” Cody Porter took the loss in goal for Vancouver (16-18-1-0), finishing with 21 saves. Everett didn’t waste any time putting the game away after going on the

power play in overtime. Skating four-on-three, the Tips won the initial faceoff in the Vancouver zone, with the puck going back to Noah Juulsen at the point. Juulsen and Scherbak switched positions, with Juulsen handing the puck off to Scherbak. Scherbak had a shooting lane above the left circle, and he wristed a shot past a screened Porter and into the top corner to send the Tips streaming onto the ice in celebration. “Obviously, we’re really happy,” Lotz said about a starting the second half with a victory. “We feel like we can still play better, but we got the win, got the two points and ended their long streak. We’re pretty happy about that.” There was plenty of energy from both teams in the first period, but no goals. The best chances came late in the period as a result of a Vancouver power play as Mason Geertsen hit the post and Alec Baer fanned with the net gaping. The Giants then came out and completely dominated the first seven minutes of the second period, keeping the puck pinned in Everett’s zone almost the entire time. But Lotz denied Thomas Foster on a breakaway and the Tips somehow emerged from the stretch unscathed as it remained scoreless going into the third. Vancouver again had the better chances in the third, with defenseman Arvin Atwal getting involved twice in early in the period. First he split the defense, only for Lotz to make a flashy glove save. Moments later Atwal beat Lotz with a move, but somehow managed to slide the puck wide, and it remained scoreless going into OT.

Is the Fitbit a good fit for you? A low-tech runner reviews the hot new high-tech exercise device By Debra Vaughn

Galaxy Gear and other types of bands made by companies such as Nike and Jawbones. Fitbit, a company based in San Francisco, is the leader of fitness trackers with more than 65 percent of market share. They offer different types of fitness trackers, including their latest product the Fitbit Surge ($249), a super watch that tracks heart rate, activity and sleep and displays the information on the band. Their products sync with multiple devices such as a smartphone and other fitness and nutrition applications. The company gave me a Flex to try. It’s not quite as fancy as the latest doo-dad they’re selling but still offers an impressive array of features.

Special for The Herald

’m a low-tech runner. Really low-tech. Until recently the most technical piece of gear I owned was a basic, cheap digital watch, the same type of watch I’ve been using since I started running in middle school 25 years ago. It’s worked fine for me. And I keep track of my workouts with a 99-cent spiral notebook and a pen. I guess I’m so 1989 because nowadays fitness types can geek out with wrist bands or watches that track every heartbeat, step and even sleep. One of the most popular gadgets on the market is a band called a Fitbit, basically a pedometer on steroids. The Herald asked me to give the Fitbit a try. In the past few years, fitness tracking products have exploded. They include a range of bodymonitoring gadgets such as smartwatches like the Samsung

Alzheimer’s toll on caregivers

A user-friendly workout app

The future of stress reduction

“I have spent close to two decades trying to decipher what’s going on in my husband’s head. His disease is my crossword puzzle,” Meryl Comer writes in her book “Slow Dancing With a Stranger: Lost and Found in the Age of Alzheimer’s.” Comer has spent years caring for not one but two Alzheimer’s patients (in a heartbreaking twist of fate, her mother was diagnosed with the disease as well). At 48, Comer gave up her career as a journalist, TV producer and business talk show host to become a full-time caregiver with all the stress, fear, fury, sorrow and exhaustion that entails. Writing the book, she says, was not cathartic — but it was necessary. It’s also charitable: 100 percent of the book’s proceeds will go toward Alzheimer’s research. — Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

All right, so it’s time again to get serious about your fitness goals. Of course, if you want them to last longer than a few days you might need some help. That’s where the Official 7-Minute Workout App comes in. The user-friendly app has 36 exercises, 13 predesigned workouts, and a custom workout feature to help you design your own 7-minute workout. Choose the length of rest intervals, the number of times you want to run through a particular circuit, and tunes from your personal music library to further personalize your session. With audio and visual instruction, you’re sure to get in a good workout anywhere there’s a floor, wall, and chair. The app is available for iPhone and Android and is free. — Herald news services

So Muse, the horseshoe-shaped, brain-sensing headband, goes across the forehead and behind the ears and measures brainwaves? Yep. Just like measuring your heart rate can help you boost the intensity of your workout, measuring brainwaves can help improve focus and reduce stress. Muse uses Bluetooth to sync with an app that coaches you every step of the way. Once Muse measures baseline brain activity, a friendly narrator instructs you to close your eyes and transports you to a to a virtual beach with the sounds of waves, wind, and, if you’re lucky, birds cooing. The calmer you get during the exercise, the more bonus birds you’ll hear. At the end, Muse shows pretty graphs of the data it collected. — Herald news services

Suffering from Exercise Video Attention Deficit

hen 2015 dawns bright and shiny, lots of people will begin new exercise regimes. Running, walking, biking, or the gym — there are lots of options out there. Personally, I’m an exercise video junkie. If you open up my media cabinet, “Buns of Steel” might hit you on the head. Unfortunately for our storage space, I am not joking. We still own a VHS so I can watch old Kathy Smith videos. If you root around hard enough, you’ll find Jane Fonda sitting next to Denise Austen and Tony Horton. I like exercise videos because they’re cheap, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like, and you don’t have to drive anywhere. The only annoyance is the coffee table, which needs to be shoved out of the way every darn time. Last spring, I really got into Zumba DVDs while I recovered from a broken wrist. I even bought the special Zumba shoes so my feet wouldn’t stick to the carpet. After a few months, I was able to rotate my wrist good as new. But when it comes to exercise programs, I have a very short attention span. I decided that my next challenge would be to tackle the Tracy Anderson Method. For those of you unfamiliar with that name, Anderson is a celebrity fitness trainer who is most famous for her work with Gwyneth Paltrow. Anderson claims that her method targets small muscle groups which will bring loose skin back to the muscle. That’s pretty much a universal goal of mothers everywhere. Before I attempted any of the TAM videos, I read the online reviews where commenters complained about her lack of cueing, her extremely low-calorie diet,

Jennifer barDSley I BRAKE FOR MOMS and risk of injury. It takes a bit of masochism to read all of that and say “Sign me up!” but I did. There was no way I was going to follow the TAM eating plan, but I did make an honest attempt — at least for a couple weeks — to follow the recommendations and do her dance-cardio and muscular-structure videos 90 minutes a day, six days a week. By week two I lost a pound, I could pinpoint all the incidences of Tracy not following her own choreography, and I developed a sharp pain in my calf that made it difficult to hop. This gave me serious respect for what celebrities must go through to be camera ready. Sure, they have maids, nannies and cooks to help out. (In my case, I let the house fall apart and my children run feral.) But other people can only do so much to alleviate the toll an intense regiment has on your body. For me, it isn’t worth it. I could never be one of the “A-plus students” Tracy praises on her videos. But I can stick with her videos a few times a week. At least for a couple of months — until my interest wanders again. Jennifer Bardsley is an Edmonds mom of two. Find her on Twitter @ jennbardsley and at www.heraldnet.com/ ibrakeformoms and teachingmybabytoread. com.

Germ warfare

To stay healthy during cold and flu season, arm yourself with information By Deanna Duff Special for The Herald

It’s time-honored advice to don a hat and coat to avoid “catching a cold.” Even so, cold-andflu season still arrives with a proliferation of coughing, sneezing and fevers. How does it spread and what are the best ways to reduce risk? According to the Centers for Disease Control, an average of 5 to 20 percent of Americans contract influenza, the flu, each year. It typically peaks between December and February. An estimated 200,000 people are hospitalized annually due to flu-related complications. “You’re more germ than you are human. About 10 percent of your cells are really yours and the rest are microbes and viruses,” said Dr. Paul Pottinger, a UW Medicine infectious disease specialist. “Germs are everywhere and usually harmless. It’s that small number, like the flu, that are a real drag.”

How do you “catch” germs? Someone sneezes at the grocery store. Should you hold your breath and outrun the germ cloud? “Flu and colds are

caused by viruses and transmitted from one person to another through droplets,” Pottinger said. “While very small, they’re still big enough that gravity affects them. They fall usually within a 4- to 6-foot radius from the sneeze or cough.” Some viruses, such as measles, are highly contagious in airborne form, but are rare in the U.S. Other viruses, such as Ebola, are only transmitted through direct contact with blood or bodily fluids. “You aren’t going to get Ebola just from sitting next to someone,” said Dr. Yuan-Po Tu, who oversees Flu Services at The Everett Clinic’s Urgent Care Walk-In Clinics and is a member of the Ebola Preparedness Team. “For all the concern, influenza is far more transmissible and deadly than Ebola in the U.S.” The length of time a cold or flu virus survives depends on the circumstances. It can last in the environment from just minutes to usually a few hours. Germs particularly thrive in warm, moist, humid conditions. “It also depends on the surface. It’s easier for it to live on wood surfaces, tougher for it to survive on metal. Plastic is in

between,” Pottinger said. Common points of infection include computer keyboards, doorknobs and particularly phones. “Germs don’t jump,” Tu said. “Someone sneezes on the phone and that now has the virus. Someone else reverses the process, touching the phone and then rubbing their eyes or nose. There has to be direct contact. It can’t just hopscotch from object to person.”

Stopping the spread A few simple and effective precautions dramatically reduce the risk of spreading and/ or catching cold-and-flu viruses. Hand washing tops the list. “The official recommendation is 20 seconds with soap and water,” Tu advised. “Alcohol hand rubs, such as Purell, are also pretty effective in most cases. The only time that’s not true is diarrheal illnesses, where soap and water do a better job.” Tu also recommends coughing into a sleeve or elbow rather than the hand, which more easily spreads the virus. “You tend to be most contagious at the onset of See GermS, next page

n 5 to 20 percent of Americans get the flu each year and an estimated 200,000 people are hospitalized annually due to complications. n Drs. Pottinger and Tu recommend staying home as long as you have a fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit or sneezing is not under control. n Healthy adults can infect others a day before symptoms develop and 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children are contagious for longer than 7 days. n Dr. Tu said 33 to 50 percent of toddlers get the flu in any given winter. n Flu symptoms start 1 to 4 days after you’re infected and include fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose. n According to Dr. Pottinger, consider yourself “lucky” to experience a low-grade fever or body aches after receiving the flu vaccination. It means the shot is taking hold. n You cannot spread influenza from the flu vaccination.

Electroshock the pain away. … Seriously? Y

ou’ve probably seen the TV ads with Shaquille O’Neal all fired up about Icy Hot Smart Relief. The NBA giant touts the benefits of treating back pain with a little gizmo using TENS therapy. TENS? What the heck is that? TENS is short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a drug-free alternative for treating pain. It basically consists of pulsed, low-intensity currents. Put the zapper where it hurts and it sends out stimulating electrical pulses to block pain signals to the brain. It won’t make your hair stand on end or stop your heart. There’s not enough volts for that. Physical therapists have long used big tabletop TENS models to treat pain. There’s lots of portable TENS devices sold at stores or online for $20 to $100 for home use. Most are about the size of a deck of cards or smaller. Some have wires that attach to adhesive electrode pads that adhere to wherever the ail is. Shaq’s push-button device ($30) is wireless and uses a watch battery.

A co-worker swears by an inexpensive TENS device she got off Amazon for relief from chronic tendonitis pain in her upper arm and shoulder. Sure, Shaq’s aches came from 19 seasons of taking a basketball beating, but her pain is just as real from decades of sitting at a desk using a mouse. Like Shaq, she likes to pump up the TENS sensations. Nancy Campbell, owner of Therapeutic Resources in Mill Creek, markets a $275 unit that does both TENS and CES. Say what? CES, which stands for Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation, is for treating stress-related anxiety, depression and insomnia. It stimulates the head with a low

According to Pottinger, patients continue to “shed” the virus and can infect others even as their own symptoms abate. “If you’re finally well enough to return to work, congratulations. However, keep practicing careful respiratory hygiene to protect others,” Pottinger said.

Vaccinations Experts, including Pottinger and Tu, cannot stress enough the importance of receiving yearly flu vaccinations. “Immunization is about helping yourself as well as others,” Pottinger said. “Maybe you have a strong immune system and don’t get the flu or only a light case. What many people don’t appreciate, though, is you can still give it to others who can unintentionally become very sick or even die.” Those at most risk

current. “It balances neurotransmitters in the brain,” Campbell said. Pain and stress often go hand-in-hand, she said, so this device can be used for both, though not at the same time. For TENS, the unit has lead wires and electrodes. For CES application, it has bifurcated lead wire and a set of ear clips.

Asthma and exercise can coexist

include individuals with comprised immune systems ranging from chemotherapy patients to chronic conditions such as diabetes. Senior citizens, those over 65 years old, and young children under 2 years are also at particularly high-risk. “We call it ‘cocooning protection’ around the most vulnerable,” Tu said. “There is no approved vaccination for newborns less than six months of age. In a situation like that, everyone around them — adults, siblings, caregivers — needs to be vaccinated.” New options are available to those who previously avoided vaccines due to health concerns or allergies. Many pharmacies stock or can order mercury- or antibiotic-free vaccines. As of 2014, a flu vaccine not cultured in eggs is available for those with allergies. Flu vaccines change yearly to combat different virus strains. It is developed months in advance of flu season based on the best available information. Given this, efficacy varies from year to year. “Even if the risk reduction was only 50 percent one year, that still cuts your changes in half. I’d take that. It’s way better than nothing,” Pottinger said.

Asthma: It’s that first breath that always seems the worst. The chest tightens and the airways spasm. A cough, a wheeze and an attack. Especially when it’s exacerbated by the cold of winter, asthma is a discomfort for some and a medical issue for many. Almost 19 million American adults have adult-onset asthma, a chronic lung disease that inflames

and narrows the airways. About 90 percent of them — and about 10 percent of the general population — periodically suffer a related condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, in which someone running or doing other strenuous exercise suddenly struggles to be able to breathe, with little or no warning. It’s understandable that adults with these conditions — and there are more all the time, due partly to poor air quality and other environmental factors

— may find some types of fitness to be an arduous endeavor that ultimately won’t be worth the effort. But experts say that knowledge of both conditions is improving and, in consultation with physicians, it is possible for sufferers to exercise and maintain an active lifestyle. In fact, exercise can have beneficial effects on people with asthma symptoms. “Exercise and staying fit is recommended with asthma, whether it is adultonset or exercise-induced,” said Lisa Gilmore, former

director of the National Capital Asthma Coalition. “Asthma is very controllable, if you’re following the asthma guidelines and taking medication as needed.” Those guidelines, which come from the National Asthma Control Initiative, include: Using inhaled corticosteroids; assessing the severity of your asthma to determine treatment; developing and using a written asthma action plan; making regular follow-up appointments with your doctor; and trying to control environmental triggers.

Anyone can get sick. When you do, you’ll have options.

Make better food choices — one decision at a time

wonder if you are among the millions who will wake on New Year’s Day saying, “This is the year I get healthy! The year I eat right, exercise and, finally, shed those pesky pounds.” Will you lace up those walking shoes that have been collecting dust in the back of the closet? Will you choose something loaded with fiber and protein for breakfast? Maybe you and your new resolve will roll out of bed, stumble into the kitchen, and on your way to the coffee pot, drain half a bottle of now-flat New Year’s Eve champagne and polish off the last of the Christmas cookies. It happens. Sure, there are better choices that could be made on the way to the coffee pot. However, becoming healthier is not about tallying the times we take our eyes off the prize. The most successful people stumble many times on the way to their goals. The difference between people who reach their goals, and those who just keep wishing, is simple: Successful people survey their mistakes, learn a lesson and adjust their course of action accordingly. Life-long good health doesn’t happen because one day we wake up and start doing everything we ought to. I am a firm believer that we all get to make new choices, learn new lessons, and change direction on a daily basis. Back to our hypothetical story. You’re standing in the kitchen, coffee-less, licking cookie crumbs from your fingers. You

Rose Mcavoy might already be beating yourself up, thinking about how you blew your chance to make 2015 the healthiest year ever. Then a friend calls with an invitation to meet for brunch. Go to brunch — avoiding temptation is not a good way to cultivate sustainable healthy habits. Now you have an opportunity to make new choices. Order the Denver omelet you love, but ask for it with egg whites, a “teeny-tiny” bit of cheese, and opt for fruit instead of hashbrowns. You had your champagne fix while still wearing your bathrobe, so skip the mimosa and enjoy some light and crisp sparkling water with lime. Now, how does that feel? Hopefully, not bad. Thoughtful swaps like egg whites and sparkling water are how I, slowly but surely, shed 145 pounds over 31⁄2 years. The details are more involved, but, ultimately my weight loss was based on simple, and sustainable, choices. By making a solid plan, and thinking ahead about what I would do in a variety of situations, I felt uplifted and empowered throughout my weightloss journey. Let me reiterate: This was a slow and purposeful change. One of the most important parts

of cultivating a lasting life change was to take things slowly. I replaced the foods in the pantry to more healthful choices. I started reading the labels on packages to better understand the food I was eating. I measured foods to learn what a healthy portion looks like. I bought some smaller dishes so my carefully measured breakfast cereal didn’t look like a tiny deserted island dwarfed by the South Pacific Ocean of my oversized bowl. It is less rigid in practice than it reads. As I grew comfortable with my new routines my self confidence grew and the future looked bright. It sounds strange but I really did eat myself out of obesity. I’m not talking cottage cheese and poached chicken breast either. As my portions size decreased, I resolved not to waste a mouthful on bland, or boring food. Learning how to replace added fat and sugar with spices, fruits, and wonderful whole foods has brought me joy — and smaller clothes. Remember that plate of Christmas cookies? Well, let’s say you ate them. Forgive yourself for your mis-step and move on. The good news is they are gone. Acknowledge that you have only just begun your journey, and you have already identified a specific area to improve. Find a way to draw the positive out of each stumble — call them learning experiences. The load will be much easier to shoulder with a smile on your face. This year, take each day

Where does the fat go when you lose it? By Lenny Bernstein The Washington Post RoSe McAvoy

An orange-ginger marinade gives this tofu a flavor punch.

orange-ginger tofu 1 pound extra firm tofu, cubed in approximately 32 pieces Marinade 1 ⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce 1 ⁄4 cup of water 2 tablespoon orange juice (from the fruit) 1 teaspoon of fresh orange zest 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 inch of fresh ginger root, grated 1 teaspoon honey 1 ⁄4 teaspoon black pepper Marinades are a easy way to turn plain proteins into dynamite entrees. Start this recipe a day ahead to get a jump start on dinner. Drain the tofu and cut it into cubes. Lay the cubes on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the marinade. combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Pat the tofu dry and put the cubes and marinade in a gallon size zip top bag. carefully push all the air out before sealing the bag tightly. Place the bag on a plate and the plate into the refrigerator for 30 minutes up to over night (longer is better). Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Drain the tofu from the marinade, place a sieve over a bowl if you want to reserve the marinade to make a sauce. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast the tofu for 25 minutes, flip the cubes once during cooking. It is done when the cubes are dark and slightly crisp on the edges. Serve over jasmine brown rice and garnish with a sprinkle of finely minced green onion. To make a sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into a small sauce pan, add a ½ teaspoon of cornstarch, and simmer on medium low heat while the tofu is roasting. It should reduce to about ⅓ of its original volume and become syrupy. Drizzle the sauce over the roasted tofu when serving. Prep time: 20 minutes, Marinade time: 30 minutes to overnight. cook time: 25 minutes. Makes 4 servings (8 cubes).

You’ve lost a pound of fat. Congrats, that’s not easy to do during the holidays. But where exactly does it go when you manage to get rid of it? First, some possible answers: a. The fat fairy came and took it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning. B. You converted it to heat and radiated it into the atmosphere. C. It’s not really lost, it’s just delayed in Cleveland. D. You released it as carbon dioxide and water through your lungs. e. You melted it and excreted it in your urine and feces. If you didn’t answer D, don’t worry too much. Neither did a bunch of doctors and biochemistry students whom Ruben Meerman queried before writing about all this in a short paper released in the British Medical Journal recently. “We’re going to remove the mystery,” Meerman said in an interview from Sydney, Australia, where he lives. “Right now, most people, including doctors, have got an idea that’s scientifically incorrect. It’s literally impossible to do what they think is happening.” Meerman is a former physicist who abandoned that career to take up “science communication,” including work for a popular Australian television show, “Catalyst.” Last year, he lost some weight and began to think about what happens on a molecular level to the kilograms of fat he was shedding. “I had a little bit of understanding you can’t just turn fat into heat,” he said, though that turned out to be a popular answer when he started asking the question. Meerman teamed up with Andrew J. Brown, a professor at the University of New South Wales, to write a simple explanation of the process, their small contribution to the war on obesity. To understand it, we unfortunately have to take you back to the dark days of high school or college biochemistry, the Krebs Cycle and how our cells create energy. Also, remember this one important principle: Matter cannot be destroyed. It can only be altered. OK, here we go: “Complete oxidation of 10 kg of human fat requires 29 kg of inhaled oxygen producing 28 kg of CO2 and 11 kg of H2O,” Meerman and Brown wrote. “This tells us the metabolic fate of fat but remains silent about the proportions of the mass stored in those 10 kg of fat that depart as carbon dioxide or water during weight loss. To calculate these values, we traced every atom’s pathway out of the body.” There’s more, but you get the picture. And yes, there is heat released, especially when you exercise, but that is a byproduct of the chemical reaction, not the conversion of fat. Here’s the bottom line: “Our calculations show that the lungs are the primary excretory organ for fat. Losing weight requires unlocking the carbon stored in fat cells, thus reinforcing that often heard refrain of ‘eat less, move more.’ We recommend these concepts be included in secondary school science curriculums and university biochemistry courses to correct widespread misconceptions about weight loss.”

Fitbit: It helps keep you moving and motivated From Page D1

It tracks the steps I take and my sleep and then wirelessly syncs to my computer and my Android smartphone. The company offers free software for both. That software includes the ability to track everything I eat, set personal goals and give me little “badges” with congratulatory emails when I meet certain goals. I can be shamed or secretly gloat by comparing my progress to other friends and family who are using it through social media. The Fitbit Flex retails for $99.

Intuitive design The company took a page out of iWorld and designed a product that is sleek and intuitive to use. Taking the product out of the packaging and getting it up and running took less than 10 minutes and occurred without a single swear word. That’s a big accomplishment for me. The Flex came with a tiny memory stick with the software called a “dongle” that fits into the computer. It also comes with two different-size bands and a small stick that inserts into either band. There’s a small charger attachment that plugs into the computer. The Flex needs to be recharged about every five days. It looks like a bracelet and comes in a few color choices. The Fitbit is water

resistant and the instructions encourage users to wear it all the time, even in the shower. I tried the device for 10 days so I’m not able to tell you if after wearing this thing nonstop for months it becomes … funky. So far there’s no indication that’s the case. The device records every step and it can differentiate between walking steps and “very active” minutes.

Feedback rewards It did a good job of keeping track of how much I ran and walked throughout the day. Suddenly, I was feeling like I was doing a much better job of exercising than I thought because it tracked all those minutes I spent aimlessly wondering around my house thinking about a story I’m working on. There is something about this product that is almost Pavlovian. The band came automatically set to get me to move 10,000 steps a day (you can customize). After I made that magic 10,000 steps the band gave me a pleasant little zzzz vibration on my wrist, and if I exercise even more it sends me an email congratulating me and calling me an overachiever. I can look at the app on my phone anytime and see how much I’ve moved or how many calories I’ve burned. Unlike my digital watch, there’s no fudging on how much I think I ran. There’s something addicting about that feedback that probably does help people stay motivated.

The Fitbit helps keeps you motivated, but beware that checking it can become an obsessive activity.

Genna Martin / the heralD

The fitbit wristband and phone app record your daily steps taken, miles walked, and calories burned.

My mother-in-law has one and she sometimes walks around the house while brushing her teeth to get in a few extra steps. I have a friend who works at Boeing and she got rather obsessed with hers. She walked 10 miles around the factory and then she’d want to walk more after work. The amount of data

gathered was both intriguing and sort of creepy. The band keeps track of how well you’re sleeping at night. I logged in when I went to bed and woke up. One morning it reported that I slept a total of 6 hours and 48 minutes, and I woke once for 11 minutes and was restless 23 times. That wasn’t accurate. That same night I know I woke up a few times, once for quite a stretch. The band seemed only to note the time I got up and walked to the kitchen for a glass of water, not the hour I remained in bed staring at the ceiling. The band is supposed to track how many flights of stairs you walk but that never worked for me. I walked up and down many flights of stairs at the downtown Everett YMCA and the band never noted it. It also doesn’t seem to track other forms of

exercise well. In addition to running, I swim laps and I take the occasional cycling class. I went to the gym and tried lap swimming, stationary cycling and a rowing machine. The Fitbit could tell I was doing something “very active” but it didn’t track these well and I had to log these activities manually.

Food and fluids too The software also provides an option to log the amount of water you drink and what you eat. I found Fitbit’s food log to be easy to use and a nice tool if you’re interested in monitoring calories. Here’s my take: As a society, Americans aren’t usually good at moderation. Either we’re tracking every step run and calorie ingested or we’re laying on the couch eating potato chips. This product

certainly seems to feed into the mentality of the former and perhaps might help the later. For me, it seems a want versus a need, at least in this stage of my life. I would have loved this product when I was a high-level competitive distance runner, when every step and calorie burned mattered. Now as a soft-bodied older version of myself, running is about smelling the crisp fall air, feeling the soft dirt under my feet, watching the fat-bodied Dreamlifter pull up into the sky over my head when I’m lost in Japanese Gulch. It’s interesting to see how much I move but for me it’s not the point. If you’ve got the cash, it would make a fun holiday gift for the fitness buff or wannabe in your life. A spiral notebook and a cheap digital watch also work just fine.

Having some fun with cliches of European travel

n my work throughout Europe, I struggle almost daily with this issue: When is a tourist experience actually a unique slice of a culture, and when is it a tired cliche kept alive by the travel industry? Ampedup Spanish flamenco bars, dirndl skirts in Germany, ape tours of the Rock of Gibraltar — when does something slip from being authentic to cheesy? When you’ve traveled for several decades as I have, you witness genuine customs giving way to rising commercialization (“gladiators” charging exorbitant fees for photo-ops at the Colosseum comes to mind). I sometimes feel saddened that parts of my ideal “back door” Europe are becoming wishful thinking. Even so, I continue to look for, find, and enjoy Europe’s living traditions. After all, most European “cliches” are firmly grounded in a genuine custom or cultural highlight (such as Scotland’s Highland games, Venice’s Carnevale, and Munich’s Oktoberfest). Many are well worth your time. And smart travelers learn how to make the most of them. Start by ditching glossy brochures and tourist board promotions. Instead, focus on getting a line on living traditions and local happenings. I gossip with the regulars in pubs and chat up travelers I meet at train stations. I pore over the “What’s On” section of the local paper, and scan the posters on subway

Rick sTeves walls. Dig deep enough, and you’ll find the real deal. Take Portugal’s fado folk tunes. Like a musical oyster, these songs are full of the sea and the country’s seafaring history. They’re as genuine a cultural expression as you could hope to discover. Nowadays, you can readily see a fancy fado show in an upscale Lisbon restaurant for lots of money. But for the best late-night memory, I look for a free show in a neighborhood spot. In these ordinary joints, you’ll encounter “fado vadio” — open mic night, where any amateur is welcome to share a song. I can’t imagine a better cultural souvenir than eating dinner in such a place, with a line of neighbors hanging outside the restaurant door waiting for their turn to sing. Some travel cliches will turn you into a cultural chameleon. Think about England and tea. I don’t drink a lot of it — but when I’m in England, it just feels right to have a spot of tea. The opulence of raising a pinky in one of Britain’s great tea rooms can be a proper splurge. Especially

The Eiffel Tower is the granddaddy of travel cliches — but it’s worth it.

in London, you won’t have much change left after a full-on tea with the daintiest of sandwiches, fresh scones, and sweet pastries (tea is nearly $75 per person at the Ritz). You can save money by taking your tea break at a department store tearoom or bookstore cafe. Either way, when you split your scone and drop in your lump of sugar,

you’ll feel part of a tradition older than you are. Some of Europe’s most famous attractions are so cliched (read: crowded and expensive) that you might be tempted to skip them. The Eiffel Tower, for example, can be seen for free from all around Paris; why bother paying to visit it? The answer is simple: This icon of European

travel is a once-in-alifetime, I’ve-been-there experience. So go, and go all the way — to the top. Making the trip gives you membership in the exclusive society of the quarter of a billion other humans who’ve been there. The tower may be a cliche, but it’s also a thrill. You’ll feel proud you made it so high (make an advance online reservation, and you’ll scoot right in). Hot-air ballooning is a different kind of tourist cliche, having little to do with a specific locale — it’s become popular from France’s Loire Valley to Central Turkey’s Cappadocia region. Personally, I had never been big on it: It’s expensive (about $250 for one hour), you need to get up really early, and I’m a little bit afraid of the whole thing. But a few years ago, as I was scouting for a TV shoot in Turkey, I ballooned for

We were up at 4 a.m., got the weather go-ahead, watched the flame-throwing blowers fill the balloon with hot air, climbed into the basket, and rose with the sun — with the big smiles on our faces giving everything a little extra buoyancy.

JESSI LOERCH / THE HERALD

Mount Rainier, as seen from the east on the Wonderland Trail. Backpacking the Wonderland Trail could be a good mid-way step for someone who wants to climb the mountain.

Set sky-high goals in 2015 By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer

John Colver loves goals, but he’s dubious of New Year’s resolutions. “The history of them is a disaster,” he said. He’d rather focus on big goals rather than rules — and it doesn’t need to be something you can accomplish in a month or even a year. Colver is an outdoor fitness author and coach. He founded Adventx, based in Seattle, which offers fitness training for people preparing for outdoor adventures. He has guided more than 100 summit climbs of Mount Rainier. He also wrote the book “Fit By Nature,” which offers a training program for outdoor enthusiasts. In other words, he knows a lot about setting and reaching goals, and helping others do the same. For me, the New Year always seems like a time for dreaming and setting goals. I like to pull out maps and think big. And I think many other outdoor enthusiasts do the same. With that in mind, I talked to Colver about how to set goals, both for fitness and for life, and how to make them a reality. How do you find motivation to improve your fitness? Colver says that if you want better results, you need to find

a concrete goal. A resolution to get in shape is difficult to stick to because it’s abstract. By the same note, a desire to look great in a swimsuit might not motivate you for long. But working toward a backpack trip to somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit, that might really get you moving. And if what you like is hiking, for instance, the great thing is that you can use hiking as your training. How do you set a goal? Colver likes to think about goals in the short term and the long term. Where do you want to be in three months? Six months? A year? Five years? 20 years? Would you like to be standing at the top of Mount Rainier? Or perhaps you’d like to throughhike the Pacific Crest Trail? If you’re not sure, ask yourself, “What would I do if I knew I could not fail?” If you’re still feeling stuck, get creative. Consider making an inspiration board. Pinterest is an easy way to do this. Do a broad search for whatever interests you. Then pay attention to those things that catch your eye over and over again. Let your intuition guide you. How do you prepare for a big, challenging goal? First, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, Colver says, think back

on a time you succeeded. Maybe you graduated from law school. Maybe you finished a long race. Think on how, while that was hard, it was worth it. Then think on your goal. What is a reasonable time frame for that? What sort of physical fitness do you have now? What level of fitness would you need to be able to meet your goal? Then break it down into manageable chunks. Say, for instance, you want to climb Mount Rainier, but currently don’t get any exercise. This might be a goal that needs a year and a half to come to fruition. For a three-month goal, plan to be able to hike five miles. For this summer, plan a major hike or climb, something that challenges you and moves you closer to your goal. Then, once you’ve met that goal, keep looking forward. Build more fitness, do more hiking and by the following summer, you could be standing on the top of Mount Rainier. How do you keep motivated? Remember, whatever your goal, give yourself some time and be patient. Colver says it takes about five weeks to feel a difference when you start on a fitness program. “A lot of people quit at about three weeks because they don’t feel a difference,” he said.

When you start, take it easy on yourself. “No pain, no gain is a myth” Colver said. No one wants to stick with an activity that hurts. If you feel pain, it’s a sign you need to fix something. Colver believes that the experience of being out in nature is powerful and motivating, and has many advantages over building fitness simply by going to a gym. “I really believe these days that the natural beauty itself is very, very powerful,” he said. “The same reasons that John Muir wanted to go out in nature is the same reasons many people want to get outdoors, even if we can’t verbalize it. I think about it on a biochemical level. If we set a goal and go to a beautiful place, we get a positive biochemical effect and it sets us up for success.” In other words, it’s a self-reinforcing cycle. How do you stay motivated in the winter? First off, Colver says to remember that we naturally feel a bit less energy in the winter. So don’t beat yourself up. But that doesn’t mean you need to spend six months on the couch. Invest in some decent wet-weather gear and go for a hike. Plan to bring along friends, because it’s more fun and makes it more likely you’ll actually go. If the weather

Fit by Nature If you need some help getting in shape for your big goals, check out “Fit By Nature” by John Colver. The book is set up in 12 week cycles. Colver points out that this neatly corresponds to the seasons. So right now, at the start of winter, would be a great time to begin.

turns out to be a true disaster, take a long walk around the city. Aim for some hills and anytime it gets truly awful, aim for a coffee shop. Colver says there are three factors we need to consider: Cold, dark and wet. You can only have two out of three, or you’re going to have a morale problem. Plan your outdoor fun accordingly.

A fascination with falcons has lasted a lifetime I

t’s always a treat to talk with someone who has totally committed to a passion. Bud Anderson is only semijoking when he said, “I have been retired my whole life. I will do it until the day I drop.” Anderson started the nonprofit Falcon Research Group (frg.org) in 1985. The group is dedicated to supporting field research, education and conservation. The Bow-based organization has about 1,000 members, the majority from Western Washington. The Skagit Valley is an ideal winter hunting grounds for raptors. “It’s the first snow-free area along with the Vancouver airport, Lummi flats and the Skagit Valley,” he said. The delta at the mouth of the Skagit River connects with the Snohomish River Delta, creating a flat open area about 25 miles long and 10 miles wide. Raptor population peaks in mid-February. It’s also when

SHARON WOOTTON the FRG hosts a winter raptor count with about 100 volunteers. The Big Four (bald eagles, redtailed hawks, northern harriers, rough-legged hawks) make up 85 percent to 95 percent of the predators. The peregrine falcon, American kestrel, snowy owl, gyrfalcon and great grey owl are among the other species. Birders in the deltas usually see 50 to 150 birds of prey in a single day, Anderson said. How a bird of prey hunts depends on each species. Redtailed and rough-legged hawks focus on field voles, falcons

concentrate on shorebirds and starlings, eagles eat everything. The FRG ties in with groups and individuals working on birds of prey, many focused on migration. The San Juan Peregrine Project, for instance, has gone on for 12 years and involves about 25 people. Ken Franklin, in the San Juan Islands, learned to skydive in free fall to better determine a peregrine’s dive speed. “He clocked one at 242 mph and thinks they can go faster,” Anderson said. “For me, it was the best bird of prey study I’ve ever seen, risking his life skydiving for the peregrines.” Volunteers had shown that the largest concentration of breeding osprey (26 pairs) in the state is in Everett. “All can be seen from the shoreline. They’re here in the summer and leave in the winter.” FRG’s influence is felt far away, too. One project is the Southern Cross Peregrine Project in Chile.

Researchers, including Anderson, capture and satellite-tag adult birds to track their migration patterns from South America to the Arctic. Anderson has been involved with raptors for most of his lifetime. He is teaching his 32nd hawk-watching class this winter. “People are really a plastic species in that they are so very adaptable. Their brains have so much capability that they are susceptible to imprint on a subject,” Anderson said. “I picked up one book in a bookstore at 18 and saw a picture of a falcon and that was it. I was drawn like a magnet and I’m glad. It’s been a wonderful life.” Anderson is particularly fond of the peregrine falcon. “Humans have been fascinated by peregrines for thousands of years. It’s one of the most beautiful animals, the fastest animal on Earth. They’re on every continent except Antarctica.” Giving a person the opportunity to have hands-on experience

with raptors, or to see a peregrine make a kill, is the key to understanding. “They learn to love these birds of prey. They come to understand what they are trying to protect. We gain many fans (through education), people who are dedicated to protecting them,” Anderson said. “It’s just like a tiger or a cheetah or a salmon or an orca. They all need protectors.” For Anderson, a peregrine is the perfect combination of beauty and power. “It’s as beautiful as a bird can be to me. There’s something elegant about a peregrine. They have big black marble eyes that just kind of haunt you,” Anderson said. “I’m very fortunate, and eternally grateful, to have had the chance to spend a lifetime studying it.” Columnist Sharon Wootton can be reached at 360-468-3964 or www.songandword.com.

Is a debt consolidation mortgage for you?

DOLLARS & SENSE Dave Ramsey

Trying to help a flighty friend

Make sure you won’t slip into the same budget hole if you get this loan By Polyana da Costa

Bankrate.com

ou may be tempted to consolidate your credit card and other high-interest debt into a mortgage with much lower payments. The offers are widespread. But is this a wise financial decision? Today’s debt consolidation mortgages are more conservative than those seen during the housing boom, when lenders allowed homeowners to refinance and cash out as much as 110 percent of the value of their homes. Lenders now require the homeowner to keep at least 15 percent to 20 percent equity after cashing out.

What debt consolidation mortgages are for Those with enough equity in their homes have been able to substantially reduce the monthly payments on credit card debt, student loans and personal loans, says Michael Moskowitz, president of Equity Now, a mortgage bank in New York City. “I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who is going to run up their credit cards again,” he says. “If that’s the case, you need financial counseling, but for people who will not do that - who had medical expenses, business expenses and ran up their credit cards, a debt consolidation mortgage is a good solution.” He cites the case of a client who had a mortgage-free investment house and more than $75,000 in credit card debt. The homeowner had used credit cards to pay for repairs after the home was damaged by Superstorm Sandy. After cashing out about $175,000 of the equity, he paid off the credit cards, kept the extra money and his monthly payments were reduced by about $1,700.

Get it only if you really need it Think of the equity in your home as a sacred savings account: You can tap into it but only when truly needed, says Rick Harper, director of housing and senior vice president for the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco. “Depending on the circumstances, (use equity) for big-ticket items such as

tuition, a sudden illness that devastates the budget, sometimes even the purchase of an automobile when you have thought things through and you have compared that financing cost to what might be available,” he says. “But don’t run out and use it for credit cards for vacations, for frivolous things because it is not an unlimited source, as we saw when the market turned.”

Fix the budget problems the loan addresses The main concern with using equity to pay off credit cards is that often, it is a temporary solution to a much bigger problem. “The real issue behind the credit card debt is that they may need to create a better spending plan for the family,” Harper says. “And if you haven’t addressed that deficit or the reason that credit card debt continues to grow, then you are going to find yourself right back in that situation again and there may be no equity at that point.”

Similar to regular refinancing The requirements to get a debt consolidation mortgage, or cash-out refinance, are not much different from those to get a standard mortgage — except for the minimum equity requirement, says Bill Banfield, a vice president for Quicken Loans. If you are trying to get the maximum loan amount, which is generally 85 percent of the value of the home, you should expect to need a credit score of at least 700, he says. But if your current mortgage and the amount you plan to borrow totals less than 80 percent of the value of the home, then the credit requirements are fairly similar to when buying a home, Banfield said.

THINKSTOCK

Too much debt sinks this loan Too much credit card debt can get in the way of a homeowner trying to qualify for a cash-out refinance because they don’t meet the lender’s debt-to-income ratio requirement, or DTI. In other words, their monthly debt expenses are too high compared with their income. But in some cases, it’s possible to qualify for a debt consolidation mortgage by excluding the credit card debt from the DTI, as long as the homeowner agrees to pay off and close the accounts at closing, says Matt Hackett, operations manager for Equity Now.

Don’t fall into the debt trap Depending on the amount of credit you have available, closing credit card accounts can affect your credit score, Hackett explains. But on the other hand, having maxed out the limit on your credit cards also hurts your score. This lending requirement is somewhat useless when it comes to preventing the borrower from getting into debt again because obviously it doesn’t stop the homeowner from opening new credit card accounts right after closing, Harper says. That’s why the responsibility of not falling into the debt trap a second time lies in the hands of the homeowner. “Be very responsible and diligent,” Harper advises. “Talk to a credit counselor or someone you trust about whether or not this is a good decision.” Polyana da Costa is the senior mortgage reporter for Bankrate.com.

Dear Dave, I have a friend who is experiencing financial problems. She is between real jobs at the moment and only bringing in about $600 a month. But even when she’s working regularly, she doesn’t budget or manage her money wisely, and she’s always looking for more money. On top of all this, she’s holding out hope for her dream job out of state. She interviewed several months ago, and hasn’t heard anything from the company. What can I do to help her? — Gina Dear Gina, I don’t mean this as an insult so much as an observation, but your friend sounds kind of flighty and impulsive to me. I think she may also be a bit immature. So what we’re really talking about here is how to get your friend to grow up a little bit and stop chasing rainbows. Don’t get me wrong. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a dream job, but you have to be realistic and practical at the same time. Right now, I want her chasing three or four smaller job rainbows at once so she’ll actually have a chance of catching something. When you chase just one, in most cases you end up with nothing. The first thing I’d tell her is that the most employable people are ones who aren’t broke. When you go into an interview and you’re broke, you come off as tense and desperate, and you don’t make a very good job candidate. The answer to that, when you’re basically unemployed, is to work any job — and any three or four jobs. Wait tables, deliver pizzas or mow yards. I don’t care what, just generate some income. Work all the time and smile! You never know when you might be talking to your next employer. You could be walking someone’s dog one day and end up in their marketing department the next. But none of this will happen if you’re trying to feel better about yourself by sitting home watching Oprah reruns. I assume that since you’re friends, she’s willing to listen to what you have to say. But if she won’t, all you can do is pray for her. Remember the old saying, “Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.” — Dave

These four financial moves in 2014 are worth celebrating

efore you move forward, it’s good to look back. This is why I want to mark the end of the year by looking at some financial moves in 2014 worth recapping. We now have a new way to save for retirement. In his State of the Union address, President Obama authorized the Treasury Department to create a starter savings account dubbed, “myRA,” short for My Retirement Account. There are many people who don’t have access to a workplace retirement account, and this can serve as a great way to get them started in saving for the time they will no longer be working. The account can be set up by direct deposit through an employer, and workers can continue to use the same myRA account even if they move to a new job. There are no start-up costs or fees. Individuals can contribute just a few dollars a month or up to $5,500 per year (or $6,500 per year if 50 or older). You are eligible to participate if you

MICHELLE SINGLETARY earn an annual income of less than $129,000 (or $191,000 for married couples filing jointly). But the account is just that, a starter account. Account holders can build savings for 30 years or until their myRA balance reaches $15,000 — whichever comes first. Contributions are invested in a new United States Treasury security that earns the same variable rate as investments in the government securities fund for federal employees. The average annual return on this fund has been a little more than 3 percent. It was close, but Congress

extended a tax break for struggling homeowners. This is good news for people who were able to get some mortgage debt forgiven. But the battle isn’t over. The extension was only for 2014. Often, borrowers trying to get out from under a mortgage can negotiate to have the remaining balance forgiven. But many people are not aware that forgiven debt, including on mortgages, is considered income. In 2007, Congress passed the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, which allowed taxpayers to exempt up to $2 million of forgiven mortgage debt ($1 million if married but filing separately). The tax exemption played an important role as borrowers who were unable to refinance their mortgages ended up offloading them through short sales, in which the lender allows the borrower to accept a price that is less than the amount owed. This year, under the federal government’s ability-to-repay rule, lenders must make a

“reasonable, good-faith determination” that an applicant can afford a mortgage. The year also brought tougher requirements for companies that service loans. They have to send monthly statements so borrowers can clearly see how their payments are being credited. Servicers must quickly fix mistakes, and they must credit payments the day they get them. They have to send people early notices if they have an adjustable-rate mortgage that will be changing in order to give them time to refinance or get help if they can’t afford a higher payment. New Education Department rules went into effect creating a better system to help borrowers come out of default status on their federal student loans. Before the new regulations, the rules simply said that borrowers in default had to be offered “reasonable and affordable” payments based on their financial circumstances. The problem was that there was no clear definition of

what reasonable and affordable meant. Many borrowers complained that their rehabilitation payments were unreasonable and unaffordable. In some cases, payments were calculated based on a percentage of the outstanding loan balance, typically 1 percent. Now the rehab formula is based on the one used for the federal Income-Based Repayment program. This plan allows borrowers with federal student loans to have their payments set to a reasonable amount based on their income, family size and state of residence. Borrowers can come out of default if they make nine voluntary ontime and full monthly payments over 10 consecutive months. The extra month allows a borrower to be late on a payment and still qualify. Unfortunately, the rules apply only to federally guaranteed student loans. And you need to request rehabilitation from your loan holder. (c) 2014, Washington Post Writers Group

Advice from readers on parenting, divorce While I’m away, readers give the advice. On being the parent your kids need you to be: When our daughter, a student/athlete and honor graduate, began to explore enlisting in the Army, it came as a total surprise, and not just to us. But it was also something that she had done completely on her own — exploring the alternative to “sitting four more years.” Were we happy? No; she had scholarships and excellent college options. But we tried to choose our words carefully, and keep them few by listening to her talk about how and why she was considering this change in direction.

After all, we had raised this young adult who independently had opened doors to other horizons, and so we embraced her and honored her decision. Yes, our military personnel are in harm’s way more often than we would like, but bubble wrap is for packing boxes; not for living life. I would rather have an adult daughter who knew her mind, made the right decision for herself and set out to live a life well-lived, risks included, than one who bowed to pressure and fear from family.

Pursuing polygons in the winter sky

his week I want to point out the big polygons SKY SOUTHERN you can see in the early evening sky this time AROUND 5 a.m. of year. So what are polygons? Well, if you remember your geometry classes, polygons are two-dimensional,multi-sided shapes with straight sides. A three-sided polygon is considered a triangle. A four-sided polygon is a rectangle. A five-sided is a pentagon, and so on. As soon as it’s dark enough in the early evening, we have a easily found triangle, rectangle, and a pentagon made up by bright stars. In your mind’s eye, though, you have to come up with the lines between the stars, but that will be easy. So why am I doing this? I want you to have quick success finding your way around a good share of the night sky with as little hassle as possible. Getting to know the constellations is ultimately the best way to navigate in the starry skies, although polygons are actually one of the tools that will help you get to know the constellations. That’s because polygons can be made up of bright stars from multiple constellations, or part of a single constellation, or in some cases polygons make up entire constellations. All three of these kinds are available early this evening. These polygons are also known in stargazing circles as asterisms. The first polygon is in the very early evening western sky, and it’s a triangle, namely, the “Summer Triangle.” Believe it or not, the last of the summer constellations that were nearly overhead in warmer times are now shining in the western skies. About a month from now, as the Earth continues in its orbit around the sun, we won’t be facing that part of space where those summer stars are hanging out, so this is your last real chance to see them in the evening for quite a while. Just look in the low to moderately high western sky for the three brightest stars you can see, and that’s it. The brightest of them is Vega, on the lower right hand corner, the brightest star in the small and faint constellation Lyra the Harp. On the lower left is Altair, the brightest shiner marking the heart of Aquila the Eagle. The highest member of the Summer Triangle is Deneb, the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. If you caught my column last week you’ll know that Deneb is also at the top of the “Northern

Cross” that lies within Cygnus. We’re going to move up to a four-sided polygon now, a rectangle, and you’re also going have to move your eyes higher up in the western sky to see it. It’s not all that far from the overhead zenith. If you’re facing west look for the four brightest stars you can see that form a diamond, a diagonally orientated rectangle. It’s almost a perfect square. In fact, it’s called the “Square of Pegasus” that’s supposed to outline the torso of a giant flying horse. Go figure. Not far away from the Square of Pegasus is the Andromeda galaxy, the next-door neighbor of our Milky Way galaxy. Even in the city lights it will appear as a fuzzy white blotch in a small telescope or even a good pair of binoculars. In the darker skies of the countryside, especially on a moonless evening, it’s possible to see it with the naked eye as a faint ghostly cloud. That ghostly cloud is the Andromeda Galaxy, over 2 million light years away, with just one light year equaling nearly 6 trillion miles. Good luck in your pursuit of the polygons. I hope you find it a lot of fun.

HOROSCOPE

As time has passed, we all moved on. They established new worlds for themselves. We are in touch but no longer needed for support. But we were there when both needed a friend. Miscommunication and bad behaviors are shared in a relationship. The sense of failure and loss is also shared. Two good people can have a good relationship that deteriorates into a bad situation over time. There are two sides to every breakup. Both need friends who listen rather than judge. They need reassurance that they will survive and have a new life. — S.T. Washington Post Writers Group

On (not) choosing sides in a divorce: My wife and I had friends several years ago who had a nasty breakup, with the guy being the publicly culpable party. We took on the role of wife-comforter and supporter. However, I also reached out as a friend to the guy. I expressed my disappointment with his actions but left the door open to friendship and listening.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Dec. 28, the 362nd day of 2014. There are three days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Dec. 28, 1944, the musical “On the Town,” with music by Leonard Bernstein and book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, opened on Broadway. On this date: In 1612, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei observed the planet Neptune, but mistook it for a star. (Neptune wasn’t officially discovered until 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle.) In 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down because of differences with President Andrew Jackson. In 1846, Iowa became the 29th state to be admitted to the Union. In 1856, the 28th president of the United States, Thomas

Woodrow Wilson, was born in Staunton, Virginia. In 1917, the New York Evening Mail published “A Neglected Anniversary,” a facetious essay by H.L. Mencken supposedly recounting the history of bathtubs in America. In 1937, composer Maurice Ravel died in Paris at age 62. In 1945, Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1961, the Tennessee Williams play “Night of the Iguana” opened on Broadway. Former first lady Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson, died in Washington at age 89. In 1973, the Endangered Species Act was signed into law by President Richard Nixon. Alexander Solzhenitsyn published “The Gulag Archipelago,” an expose of the Soviet prison system.

SUDOKU

In 1984, the TV soap opera “The Edge of Night,” which first aired on CBS, then on ABC, ended a 28-year run with its final episode. Movie director Sam Peckinpah, 59, died in Inglewood, California. In 1989, Alexander Dubcek, the former Czechoslovak Communist leader who was deposed in a Soviet-led Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968, was named president of the country’s parliament. Today’s birthdays: Comic book creator Stan Lee is 92. Former United Auto Workers union president Owen Bieber is 85. Actor Martin Milner is 83. Actress Nichelle Nichols is 82.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Mr. and Mrs. Rasty Collins, who left with their family Dec. 22 to spend Christmas in California and Mexico, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary yesterday in the Southwest. They had five children, Judy Baker of Seattle, and Tom, Bob, Cathy and Peggy at home. The children were coming home, but Mr. and Mrs. Collins planned to stay South for a time. The street department in Marysville would pick up all discarded Christmas trees. Fire Chief Virgil Baxter said the trees were unusually dry this year. A big bonfire would be held at Sixth and Quinn streets.

Solution to last Sunday’s puzzle.

25 years ago (1989) It was so foggy you couldn’t see from one end to the other on the pedestrian bridge over the Boeing Freeway at the south end of Beverly Lane. However, later in the day it had broken up and Paine Field was clear, unlike Sea-Tac Airport. At Jerry’s Surplus they were having an “It’s Our Thank You Sale” for three days. Everything in the store was discounted 20 per cent. The store, at 21st Street and Broadway in Everett, claimed to be “your outdoor headquarters since 1947.” By Jack O’Donnell from Herald archives at the Everett Public Library.

EARTHWEEK A Diary Of The Planet | By Steve Newman Old waters of the deep More water than is contained in all of the world’s rivers, wetlands and lakes combined has been found hiding many miles beneath the surface, and scientists say it’s the oldest water on the planet. A study presented at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in San Francisco also revealed that the water is reacting with the Earth’s crust to release hydrogen, a potential food source that could be supporting subsurface life forms never before seen by humans. The planet’s oldest water, collected 1.5 miles down a deep mine in Canada, has been estimated to be between 1 billion and 2.5 billion years old. The researchers used data from 19 different mine sites to measure how much hydrogen was being produced and thereby estimate the volume of the deep water. University of Toronto geobiologist Barbara Sherwood Lollar says the hunt for life in the deep crust is now a priority.

Meteor ‘radar’ Scientists may have discovered a new and revolutionary method to provide Earth with advance warning of potentially dangerous space rocks that could take aim on our planet. By carefully observing changes in streams of plasma from the sun or particles in the solar wind, new research suggests, it could be possible to identify small but threatening near-Earth objects like the Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded over Russia in 2013. The technique would rely on the magnetic field disturbances that occur in the solar wind when it interacts with positively charged particles left over from collisions of larger objects orbiting the sun.

Giraffe decline One of world’s most iconic and beloved animals is rapidly disappearing from the plains and forests of Africa, according to a new warning by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The charity says the population of wild giraffes has plummeted by more than 40 percent over the past 15 years, down from about 140,000 animals across Africa in 1999 to 80,000

today. Even though it is illegal to hunt giraffe, the animal’s meat is highly prized for its sweet taste.

Earthquakes A sharp temblor centered high in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal shook a wide area of that country and neighboring parts of India. Residents across the Indian state of Bihar fled buildings in panic as the region shook for approximately five seconds. • Earth movements were also felt in the India-Myanmar border region, islands of Indonesia’s Molucca Sea, northeastern New Zealand, Japan’s eastern Hokkaido Island and the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.

Storm evacuation A group of at least five golden-winged warblers “evacuated” nesting areas in eastern Tennessee about one or two days before last April’s devastating tornado swarm swept across the region. The weather was calm when the birds rushed southward toward the Gulf Coast, hundreds of miles away. Writing in the journal Current Biology, researchers from several institutions say they made the discovery because a group of warblers had been tagged with “geolocators” long before the outbreak. It’s believed the birds were able to sense infrasound from the deep rumble that tornadoes were

generating hundreds of miles away. Such sounds are well below human hearing and were probably being produced by twisters tearing across states to the west a day or two before the avian evacuation.

Eruption An eastern Indonesian volcano erupted without warning on Dec. 19, spewing columns of ash and flows of lava down its flanks. The initial blast from Mount Gamalama, on Ternate Island in North Maluku province, caused nine hikers on the mountain to be injured as they scrambled to safety. Thick ash from the eruption blanketed the main airport of the nearby provincial capital of Ternate, forcing all arrivals and departures to be canceled for days.

Toothy attack For the second holiday season in a row, swimmers trying to escape the midsummer heat in northeastern Argentina have been bloodied in a string of attacks by a type of piranha. The most savage of the 10 palometa attacks so far this month injured 23 people on a beach in Garupá, located on a tributary of the Parana River, about 450 miles north of Buenos Aires. The ADN Sureste news agency reports the carnivorous fish apparently gnawed through a net erected to keep the beach safe from such attacks. Distributed by: Universal Uclick www.earthweek.com

Husband’s suspicions are troubling to wife Dear Abby: I recently got married. My husband goes through my purse, my papers, my jewelry, my clothes — and even my underwear. He says that as my husband he has the right to do that. He says I am wrong to object. How would you react? — Confused Jane In The South Dear Confused Jane: I would react by calmly asking my husband why he thought it was necessary to invade my privacy like that and if he thought I was unfaithful, and I’d tell him I regarded it as a threat to the marriage. I’m sure he would react the same way if you searched through his belongings and the history on his phone and computer. What he is doing is a red flag. It’s an indication that he’s insecure and controlling, and spouses who behave that way have been known to escalate to domestic violence. Marriage counseling NOW might head it off. But if it doesn’t, you would be wise to consider ending the marriage before there are children involved. Dear Abby: I was married to an incredible man for 32 years. He was quite a bit older and passed away a few months ago. Along with a wonderful marriage, I also enjoyed the gracious family I married into. My question is, now that my husband is gone, am I still their stepwhatever, or did I lose that when my husband died?

DEAR ABBY We remain close. — StepWhatever In Kansas Dear Step-Whatever: Please accept my condolences for the loss of your husband. Because your relationship with the family is a warm and close one, you shouldn’t worry. I’m sure you will always be family to them. Dear Abby: While going through some old paperwork, I came across a bunch of pictures of my ex-girlfriend and me. Our relationship ended 10 years ago. She’s married and lives in another state. Part of me says it’s time to get rid of at least some of them, but I’m not sure how to do it with respect to my ex and our past relationship. The other part of me wants to keep them, as they represent a happy time in my life and what I looked like back then. What do you suggest? — Photo-Finished Dear Photo: If the memories and emotions are pleasant ones, hang onto the photos as souvenirs of happy times gone by. If you’re unable to do that, destroy them.

AdoptionCentral HERSHEYâ€”Sheâ€™s a sweet, young girl around a year old looking for her forever home. She has lived with other dogs and would do fine with cats with a proper introduction. She enjoys her walks and loves attention. No small children please.

CHARLOTTEâ€” Sheâ€™s a quieter girl, but it doesnâ€™t take her long to warm up to a new person! And boy, after she does she is all over you for love! She will take some time to warm up to a new home and family, but rest assured if you give her the time she needs, she will show you just how social and loving she is. Donâ€™t hesitate to come and visit this girl at The N.O.A.H. Center; she is truly a catch.

For adoption information, call the Everett Animal Shelter, (425) 257-6000.

For adoption information, call N.O.A.H., (360) 629-7055.

To comment on a project: â€˘ Submit written comments to PDS at the address below. All comments received prior to issuance of a department decision or recommendation will be reviewed. To ensure that comments are addressed in the decision or recommendation, they should be received by PDS before the end of the published comment period. â€˘ Comments, on a project scheduled for a hearing before the hearing examiner, may be made by submitting them to PDS prior to the open record hearing. â€˘ PDS only publishes the decisions as required by Snohomish County Code. Persons will receive notice of all decisions that they have submitted written comment on, regardless of whether or not they are published. â€˘ You may become a party of record for a project by: 1. submitting original written comments and request to become a party of record to the county prior to the hearing, 2. testifying at the hearing or 3. entering your name on a sign-up register at the hearing. NOTE: only parties of record may subsequently appeal the hearing examinerâ€™s decision or provide written or oral arguments to the county council if such an appeal is filed. To appeal a decision: â€˘ Department decisions (including SEPA threshold determinations): submit a written appeal and the $500 filing fee to PDS prior to the close of the appeal period. Refer to SCC 30.71.050(5) for details on what must be included in a written appeal. â€˘ A SEPA appeal also requires that an affidavit or declaration be filed with the hearing examiner within seven days of filing the appeal, pursuant to SCC 30.61.305(1). â€˘ Hearing examiner decisions issued after a public hearing are appealable as described in the examinerâ€™s decision. Notice of those decisions is not published. You must have submitted written comments to PDS or written or oral comments at the public hearing in order to appeal a hearing examinerâ€™s decision. â€˘ Building and Grading applications associated with a Single Family Residence are not subject to the Countyâ€™s appeal process. To file a judicial appeal in Superior Court, refer to WAC 197-11-680 and RCW 43.21C.075.

A Preliminary Hearing on March 3, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. and a Fact Finding hearing on March 19, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. will be held on this matter at Snohomish County Juvenile Justice Center, 2801 10th Street, Everett, Washington 98201.

THE ABOVE NAMED INDIVIDUALS ARE SUMMONED TO APPEAR at both of said hearings regarding your child. If you do not appear at the first (preliminary) hearing, the court may cancel the second hearing and take evidence and enter an order without further notice to you.

Marcus Mariota: Top Duck InFocus “General Hospital Now,” abc.go.com/shows/generalhospital/ Longtime “General Hospital” star Nancy Lee Grahn — aka Alexis Davis — is the host of this companion web series to the long-running TV soap, a talk show about daytime drama that features talent interviews, behind-the-scenes clips and appearances by top soap stars. There are also games, a panel of celebrity fans and Grahn asking guests questions that are foremost on fans’ minds, such as “Have you had any work done?” “Crash Course: Astronomy,” www.youtube.com/user/ crashcourse

Phil Plait, astronomer and blogger for Slate magazine, is the host and writer of this series that endeavors to make the cosmos more accessible to the average viewer. It joins the lineup of irreverent, fast-paced “Crash Course” videos produced by “Vlogbrothers” John and Hank Green, that attempt to explain complex topics such as economics, chemistry, government, biology and literature in 10-minute blocks. “WIRED’s Gadget Challenge,” video.wired.com/series/wired-s-gadget-challenge Tech lovers will want to take note of this new offering hosted by Justin and Erik from “Battle Damage,” in which they test out their favorite new electronic products from the WIRED Store. In each episode, the hosts go head to head as

The 2014-15 college football season has the potential for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota to win it all. By that, we mean more than a national title. The Ducks are in the inaugural College Football Playoff and at the time of this writing their junior quarterback was the top candidate for the Heisman Trophy. Taking both honors in a single season is no easy task, but if anyone is up for it, it is the confident Hawaiian, who is blossoming into quite a passer. Like many college signal callers, Mariota has done a lot of damage to opposing defenses with his legs by carrying the football near or above 100 times each season. He’s balanced that nicely, however, with an equally effective passing attack. During the regular season, he threw for 3,470 yards and 36 touchdowns with only two interceptions, all the while leaving behind a brilliant highlight reel. Mariota put the Ducks on his shoulders in an early season victory over Michigan St. with a drive-saving scramble that helped turn the tide. Two weeks later he tossed five touchdowns in a hard-fought win over Washington St. The list goes on and on, and now all that remains is a chance to further burnish his legacy in the postseason. Once that’s over, a decision awaits on his future. Will Mariota pass on the NFL Draft and come back for his senior season, or will he move on to the pros, where he will likely be among the top picks – if not the No. 1 overall choice – come May?

FULL NAME: Marcus Ardel Taulauniu Mariota HOMETOWN: Honolulu BORN: Oct. 30, 1993 (age 21) SIZE: 6 feet 4 inches/219 pounds YEAR: junior (redshirt) MAJOR: General Sciences NUMBER: 8 HONORS & ACHIEVEMENTS: Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year (2014); three time Pac12 All-Conference First Team (2012-14); Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year (2012); Fiesta Bowl MVP (2013); Alamo Bowl MVP (2013) they run the devices through their gauntlets, which can be quite rigorous and fun. The first few episodes examine an LED skateboard, JayBird’s BlueBuds X headphones and Withing’s Pulse 02 watch. “Beautiful Noise,” www. vimeo.com/ondemand/beautifulnoise This documentary from filmmakers Eric Green and Sarah Ogletree examines one of the most influential underground music movements of the late 20th century, where innovative musicians mixed guitar noise with conventional pop music structures. Available on Vimeo’s pay platform, it features interviews with members of the Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Swervedriver, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Lush.
