Boeing tanker takes test flight The aerial-refueling plane “performed flawlessly.” By Dan Catchpole Herald writer
EVERETT — The Boeing Co.’s aerial-refueling tanker program moved ahead Sunday morning as the first test plane, a non-military
version of the KC-46 tanker took off on the program’s first test flight before 9:30 a.m. The early morning sun’s rays caught the plane engines’ exhaust as it roared down the runway at Paine Field. The test flight marks the beginning of a fast-paced flight testing schedule with little margin for delays or other problems. With the flight test program
six months behind schedule — due largely to problems with the plane’s wiring — Boeing has focused on getting the first test airplane into the air. So, while most of Boeing’s Everett plant has been quiet for the holidays, workers on the KC-46 program have put in long hours to get the first See TANKER, Page A2

Year-long traffic delays on the way A detour will be set up while Everett demolishes and replaces the 102-year-old Broadway Bridge. By Chris Winters Herald Writer
EVERETT — A likely year-long detour around the Broadway Bridge project begins in midJanuary, adding nearly a mile of driving for northbound vehicles and nearly a half-mile for southbound travelers. The 102-year-old bridge over BNSF Railway tracks — the hump in Broadway just north of Hewitt Avenue — will be demolished, and a new, wider bridge with no weight restrictions will be built in its place. Last refurbished in 1931, the present bridge carries 40,000 vehicles per day. Northbound traffic will be detoured east on Hewitt, north on Cedar Street, then west on Everett Avenue to rejoin Broadway. That’s about a mile longer than the 500 feet of Broadway it avoids. Southbound Broadway traffic will have a shorter detour, turning east on California Avenue, south on Virginia Street and west on Hewitt, back to Broadway. That’s an additional half-mile of driving. Burlington-based contractor Interwest Construction has been setting up signs and signals for the detour routes. In mid-January, the bridge will be closed to traffic and be taken down. The city was unable to provide a more specific date. It will take more than a year to build a new bridge with wider lanes and no weight restrictions, to open in January or February 2016. The city has installed several Web cameras around the bridge area so people can monitor traffic conditions. To view the cameras online, go to everettwa.org/default. aspx?ID=2080. There are two existing cameras on Broadway that are part of the traffic signal system. A third camera near Cedar and Hewitt will be used to keep an

KC-Z. The KC-Y contract is expected to replace all remaining KC-135s, and the KC-Z contract will be to find a successor for the Air Force’s largest tanker, the KC-10, which is based on Douglas’ DC-10. The Pentagon will start working on the KC-Y program in 2017, with first delivery in 2028 or later, Ed Gulick, an Air Force spokesman, said earlier this year. Boeing hopes to also find buyers for the KC-46 overseas. Company executives hope that exports plus sales to the U.S. military will push tanker production to “400 or 500 aircraft,” Boeing President Dennis Muilenburg told analysts in a call earlier this month. The tanker, which can serve as a cargo plane, troop carrier or medicalevacuation plane, and the P-8 anti-submarine warfare plane, figure to be key parts of Boeing defense sales in coming years. Both are based on commercial jetliners and built in metro Puget Sound. In 2012, an estimated 5,100 jobs were directly tied to Boeing’s 767 program, according to a 2013 report commissioned by the Washington Aerospace Partnership, an industry-advocacy group. However, the company has lost several foreign contracts to its rival Airbus Group NV, which has offered a multi-role tanker based on its A330 jetliner. Airbus won orders for three tankers this month from three European nations — The Netherlands, Norway and Poland. And France earlier this year committed to 12 Airbus tankers. The European airplane maker has netted orders for 34 tankers from Australia, the U.K., United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and Singapore. Boeing has tallied only eight foreign orders from Italy and Japan. The two companies are still competing for orders for four tankers from South Korea and another four for Poland.

own eyes. Video guidance of a tanker boom isn’t new. “It’s been done” before, such as on the Italian Air Force’s tanker, Richardson said. Software integration has gone fairly smoothly with only a 4 percent increase in code, and Boeing has already resolved many problems that have come up, he said. However, it remains a potential risk area for new problems. Boeing has addressed many potential software problems in five test labs set up to support tanker development. The company has previously said it plans to keep the labs open to support the KC-46 when it is in production, and future aircraft development. The tanker’s development cost have shot past the $4.4 billion contract, which caps the federal government’s share at $4.9 billion. The Air Force’s latest estimate is $6.4 billion, which would leave Boeing on the hook for $1.5 billion. Boeing continues “to aggressively work plans to drive productivity, mitigate risks and lower our costs,” company spokesman Chick Ramey said earlier this month. Getting the production contract will give the airplane maker plenty of time to make up the program’s development costs. Also, landing the tanker contract, dubbed the KC-X, leaves Boeing wellpositioned to land the Air Force’s next contract. The Air Force plans to replace the rest of its aging fleet of more than 500 tankers with two additional programs, called KC-Y and
Broadway
In all, Boeing has four test airplanes in production as part of a $4.4 billion design and development contract, which requires the Chicago-based company to deliver 18 tankers to the Air Force by August 2017. Boeing is expected to give the Air Force a revised development-and-production schedule in February. The company plans to get all the test planes into the air this year, Boeing said Sunday. The test planes will be used to complete FAA and military certification, and to identify any problems to fix in production. Test flights scheduled for this summer will include passing fuel to a variety of military aircraft. The Pentagon will consider results from those and other tests when it decides in September on whether to give Boeing the green light for full production. The Air Force has ordered 179 tankers worth an estimated $51 billion to replace 1950s-era KC-135 tankers. The Air Force anticipates some wrinkles during test flights, but the airplane relies on mostly mature technology, so these issues should be minor, Richardson said. For example, the KC-46 will use the boom used on the KC-10, the Air Force’s biggest tanker. But the control system software is very different. On the KC-46, the operator uses video displays at a station behind the cockpit to guide the telescopic boom to aircraft receiving fuel. In earlier tankers, the operator controlled the boom from the airplane’s tail, using his
The bridge is owned by the railroad, but when the new span is completed, ownership will be transferred to the city. This is typical for projects involving federal funding, Sass said. The federal government is the source of about $7.6 million of the project’s $13.6 million price tag. BNSF contributed $824,000. Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com.

airplane ready to fly. The first test plane is a non-military version of the tanker, designated a 7672C model, and it will be used to start the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification process. It is based on the 767-200ER, but it includes aspects of the 767-300 and -400, as well as a cockpit based on the 787. The test plane spent just over three and a half hours in the air Sunday, cruising over Central Washington before returning to Western Washington and landing at Boeing Field in Seattle. Boeing’s test pilot, Ron Johnston, said in a news release from the company that the airplane “performed flawlessly on its initial flight. We took it to 28,000 feet and near max speed, verified aircraft handling characteristics and most of the systems.” “I’m really looking forward to putting the KC-46 program’s test aircraft through their paces as we move further into flight test,” he said. As the U.S. military’s first next-generation tanker, the KC-46 will “become the backbone of our ability to project power anywhere in the world,” the Air Force’s Brig. Gen. Duke Richardson said Sunday. The 767-2C test plane has a stronger airframe, extra fuel tanks, plumbing and wiring for its tanker role. But installation and testing of some non-essential systems have been delayed until after first flight. Earlier this month, Richardson said 23 functional tests will still have to be finished after the first 767-2C flight. The first actual military KC-46 — complete with a refueling boom — is expected to fly in the second half of April, Richardson said. That plane will have about 120 miles of wiring, substantially more than on the 767-2C version that flew Sunday. Richardson said that wiring fixes on the first test plane have worked “out really well,” and that by mid-December, about 78 percent of the wiring had been installed on the second test plane.

Sultan’s Ruth Tess does it all
Music, drama, writing, photography, travel, ASB, missions and more By Andrew Gobin Herald Writer
SULTAN — Ruth Tess, 17, is a senior at Sultan High School who is involved with student government. She hopes to make school more a place students want to be. She holds a steady job and is an only child. Question: What classes are you taking that you like? Answer: AP Literature and AP Bio. Although I do like all of my classes. There are different things I like about each class. Q: What are your interests in school? A: Student Government. I am the ASB Vice President. I am in marching band for spring and for fall. I play the marimba, bells and vibraphone. I like drama, I will play in our school musical “Grease.” Q: What part are you playing? A: The principal.
Q: I hear you typically stick around campus after school, what do you do in that time? A: I am the yearbook photo editor and the chief photographer. I also do honor choir, National Honor Society, pep club and Link Crew. Q: Tell me about Link Crew. A: We work with the freshmen throughout the year. So, we take care of welcoming them to our school and mentor them as the year goes on. Q: What about outside of school, is there anything you do? A: I have a job. I work for the Monroe Monitor as a freelance writer. I have been there for a little over two months. Q: What types of things do you write about? A: Mostly I write about Sultan High School. Q: So, between work and school, your time is pretty
obligated? A: Yes and no. I am also involved with a family missions group. I’ve been to Moldova, the Philippines, Costa Rica, Washington D.C., and around this state. With the family missions group I have more than 500 hours of community service. Q: What are your plans after school? A: I want to find my passion. I’m going to college and intend to find that out. I think it’s limiting to have to decide what you want to do in life when you’re in high school, when I can do anything, be anything. Q: What schools are you looking at applying to? Or have you already applied? A: I applied at UW and Western. I applied to a few universities in California but I’ll probably stay in state for college.
Q: Do you have any dreams or goals? A: I definitely want to study abroad in college. I want to visit Korea. You see, I’m half Korean, and I really want to get to know that half of my culture. Q: What’s your family like? A: Well, my parents are missionaries and we lived in Japan until I was in fifth grade. And I’m an only child. We moved to Monroe about seven years ago. Q: So, do you speak Japanese? A: Not really. I’ve forgotten most of it. I do speak Korean though. And English, of course. Q: How do you kick back after doing all of these things? A: I have jam sessions with my friends. I sing, one of them plays piano, another plays the guitar, I play the guitar. I like to watch Korean dramas with my friends. And we play Pathfnder, it’s like a D&D type of game.
Firefighting duo helping teens ‘think again’ By Rikki King Herald Writer
front porch
MONROE — Years ago, Monroe firefighters Pat Gjerde and Kurt Schneider had a conversation. They were tired of seeing young people hurt and killed in crashes. They wanted to find a way to reach out to teens, before word of those wrecks came across their emergency pagers. This winter was the fifth time they’ve spoken to junior socialstudies classes at Monroe High School. Schneider, who’s also a paramedic, estimates they’ve talked to a thousand kids over the years. The class usually is held in the spring. This school year,
they decided to move it up so Gjerde still could participate. At 40, he’s headed overseas to serve in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps after high school but was discharged for an injury after two years. Now is his chance to finish what he started, he said, following the path of his father, grandfather and uncles. He started as a reservist in 2012, driven by “a sense of duty and a sense of obligation,” he said. The Monroe fire district will keep the driving safety program, “Think Again,” going at the high school. There is talk of expanding to other campuses, too. The program is designed to engage teenagers, Gjerde said.

That’s why I’m here.” The hope is to never see those students in a wreck. Three years ago, they were called to a crash scene where a Monroe High School boy was being placed on a backboard. The boy recognized Gjerde and Schneider. Without prompting, he promised them he had been paying attention to the road: “I remember your class and I’m so sorry,” he said.

his is an El Niño year. So I realize our chances of doing a double Axel with our double axles on an icy road is diminished this winter. Still, if you head into the mountains, it doesn’t take long to find the white stuff and, often enough, some ice rink-like conditions. (Now, if only we could finally find conditions suitable enough to use the ski rack for something other than a Christmas tree.) So in case your New Year’s resolution is like mine and you want to be more prepared in 2015 for impending doom, here are some hopefully helpful how-to’s.
How to avoid a spin-out Have you ever spun out on ice? I have, once. And once was enough. I was a community college freshman on my way to carpool. I’m sure I was going too fast. I don’t remember exactly what happened, except that I managed to hit a prison van coming from the other direction and ended up in a ditch, still belted in my seat but staring up at the ceiling and wondering how my steering wheel got bent in half. Only a scraped knee, but my little Volkswagon Rabbit was totaled. (That thing had no radio, and we had to drill holes in the floor to drain all the water it collected, but it had a moon roof, man!) So let’s do a “how to” review before ice returns, yes? First, do the responsible-driver thing and take things slow, leave extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you, and keep cruise control off. If you do spin out: Stay off the brake until the vehicle slows down enough for them to work, about 25 mph. Steer in the direction you want to go. As soon as the vehicle begins to straighten out, turn the wheel the other way to avoid swinging around in the other direction and starting a new skid. Continue to steer, correcting left and right, until the vehicle is again moving down the road under your control. Use “threshold braking” when you do use the brake, especially if you don’t have antilock brakes. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure to the threshold of locking your brakes. The tips here come from the Washington State Driver’s Guide and AAA Washington. And they’re true whether you have a Rabbit or a Range Rover.
What to pack for emergencies I’m terrible at this stuff. When I was a new mom, I was on top of things. I had diapers, food, blankets and water in the back of the car, ready for any emergency. The blankets are still there. I think there are some Barbie bandages
cases, speakers will have books and plants to sell after the session. Fire station remodel delayed: A remodel of Fire Station 65 in the Lake Goodwin area has been put off until next spring or summer. The station at 17500 E. Lake Goodwin Road is the oldest in the Marysville Fire District. It was originally built by volunteers in 1963.

All safe after house fire in Mukilteo Herald staff MUKILTEO — A candle is blamed for causing a house fire in Mukilteo on Sunday morning, according to the Mukilteo Fire Department. One resident suffered minor injuries, and the fire was contained to a bedroom in a duplex in the 13500 block of Beverly Park Road.
A candle had been left burning on a nightstand, and shortly before 6 a.m., one of the home’s residents woke up with hair on fire, according to a news release from the department. Everyone in the house got out, and called 911. Within a few minutes, the first firefighters arrived and started attacking the flames
in the bedroom. Nineteen firefighters from Mukilteo and Lynnwood fire departments, and Fire District 1 responded. Paramedics treated and released one resident with minor injuries at the scene, according to the news release. Snohomish County Fire
Investigator ruled the fire was an accident sparked by the candle burning in the bedroom. The fire caused an estimated $25,000 in damages to the home and residents’ belongings. While candles might seem harmless, they can cause fires, injuries and even deaths, cautioned Mukilteo Assistant Fire
Chief Brian McMahan in the news release. “This is an open flame which makes things easy to ignite if not handed and cared for properly.” Information on candle safety is available online at www.nfpa. org/safety-information/ for-consumers/causes/ candles/candle-safety-tips.
Woman accused of trafficking daughter By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — She’s 16. A Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office investigation tracked her to motel rooms in Everett, Edmonds and Fife. It recently led to the arrest of a 44-year-old woman for investigation of promoting sexual abuse of a minor. The sex trafficking suspect, the girl’s own mother, could be charged with a Class A felony. “She knew exactly what was going on and was complicit in the rape of a child for money,” sheriff’s office
spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. A county detective in February spotted a classified ad offering the girl’s services on backpage.com. The sales pitch was aimed at clients in the Everett area. The ad claimed the girl was 18. She was 15 at the time. A search warrant later turned up thousands of texts from the girl’s iPhone during a five-week period late last year. More than 400 messages were from potential clients. More than a dozen others involved discussions of drugs.
The exchanges also included texts allegedly from the girl’s mother, asking her for her motel room number and what city she was in. The detective wrote in an affidavit to establish probable cause for the mother’s arrest that the communication seemed “more out of a concern to keep tabs on her whereabouts. I know from my training and experience that this type of behavior is often indicative of a pimping situation.” After the teen allegedly had a client walk away without paying, the woman allegedly wrote text
messages telling her “Never give (people) anything without paying upfront” and “Next time get paid upfront.” At one point, the mother allegedly wrote her daughter to find another hotel room for the night rather than come home. When the daughter reportedly asked her mom, “Is the money worth it?” her mother allegedly replied, ‘Yes, it sure is.” On one occasion the teen was in an Edmonds hotel room when she wrote to a client, asking him to visit later because her mom had just dropped off food. An acquaintance of the
teen told the detective that the girl said “her mom was very well aware of what she was doing and encouraged it because she enjoyed the money.” In an interview with the sheriff’s detective earlier this month, the teen allegedly said her mom knew about her work as a prostitute. She reportedly estimated that she gave her mom about $2,000 from her earnings over the past year and that her mom often picks her up at motels so they can spend time together. Ireton said the detective followed up on a lot of leads in gathering evidence.
Docs want more time to treat murder suspect By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
LAKE STEVENS — State psychologists say they want more time to treat a mentally ill man accused of killing a Lake Stevens woman in 2013. A judge agreed last week to stay the criminal case against Anthony Garver for another six months while
he gets additional treatment at Western State Hospital. Garver, 27, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and continues to show significant psychotic symptoms, according to a recent hospital report filed in Snohomish County Superior Court. His condition appears to be improving but he is still unable to assist his attorney to defend against a murder charge, state psychologists wrote. Prosecutors allege that Garver stabbed Phillipa Evans-Lopez, 20. She was found tied to a bed on June 17, 2013 in her Lake Stevens home. The killer stabbed her two dozen times and
slit her throat. Garver was allegedly connected to the homicide through genetic evidence found on the electrical cords used to bind Evans-Lopez. Garver has denied killing the young mother. Investigators have not released a motive. The pair may have met for the first time the day before at an Everett McDonald’s. Garver reportedly told police his DNA was in the house because he helped Evans-Lopez move some furniture. He is charged with firstdegree murder with a deadly weapon. Doctors are now recommending that Garver be
given a new anti-psychotic medication to treat his symptoms. In a recent evaluation, doctors concluded that Garver is unable to effectively communicate with his lawyer. He “appears to have a great difficulty differentiating reality from his perceived delusional experiences,” the evaluator wrote. His attorney Jon Scott confirmed that his client’s disorganized thinking and delusions prevent them from discussing the case. Garver doesn’t appear to understand the charge against him. When asked about the allegations he said, “I’ve been thinking
they don’t exist. They’re saying I have them, but I don’t. I don’t have them because I didn’t do it.” At the time of the homicide, Garver was wanted by state and federal authorities. He had been on the run since after he failed to report to his community corrections officer in Spokane. He’d been released from federal prison a month earlier after serving time for threats he made to blow up a government building in Spokane. Court papers say Garver has ties to anarchist and domestic-terrorism causes. Diana Hefley: 425-3393463, hefley@heraldnet. com. Twitter: @dianahefley

in the glove box. And that’s pretty much it for my emergency preparedness. The latest Pemco Insurance Northwest Poll shows that 83 percent of drivers in Washington and Oregon carry at least one emergency item in their vehicle, but of those “prepared” drivers, less than half (44 percent) pack extra water, and just 25 percent pack extra food. There’s a billboard out there that says “winging it is not an emergency plan.” OK, OK... so as I kick myself in gear on this one, I’ll give you the friendly nudge too. Tips abound for what emergency supplies to have in your basement, office desk — and trunk. Here’s what the state Department of Transportation recommends for an emergency car kit: flashlight, extra batteries, blanket, nonperishable food, water, gloves, boots, first aid kit, cellphone charger, tire chains, ice scraper, jumper cables, flares, kitty litter or sand to help with traction, a whistle to signal for help. Other tips for driving in the winter include keeping the fuel tank above the half-tank mark on winter trips. AAA also recommends drivers have their car or RV serviced before a road trip; cold weather is particularly hard on car batteries.

Taylor, DDS, recommends mandibular appliance
I
f you decided to keep a sleep diary, what would you write? “I sleep eight hours every night but I am always tired the next day.” “My spouse is always complaining that I snore too much and sometimes I stop breathing.” “I don’t remember part of my drive to work because I was so sleepy.” “ I wake up multiple times to go to the bathroom.” “I can’t stand these headaches anymore.” “I never wake up feeling refreshed.” All of these situations are possible symptoms of sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing stops during sleep. Sleep physicians attempt to solve sleep apnea problems through the use of a CPAP machine, but often times people using a CPAP machine find it very obtrusive, uncomfortable to wear and are disturbed by the noise it makes. In turn, the machine sits by the bed, untouched, and the apnea continues to invade a good night’s sleep, which takes a toll on your overall health. Rebecca Taylor, DDS offers a comfortable alternative: a retainer-like device that opens up your airway. The FDA-approved device, also known as a mandibular appliance, moves the jaw forward slightly to open the airway and allow normal breathing. “When you treat someone who is not breathing

continuously look and feel tired, your physical appearance becomes haggard, you may experience a downturn in your mood and thought processes and you may notice negative effects in your work performance andrelationships with friends and family. Additionally, sleep apnea is related to diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, thyroid issues, erectile dysfunction, ADHD, fibromyalgia, weight gain… the list goes on. And on the roadways, falling asleep at the wheel can lead to fatal accidents. In fact, more people are injured from sleep deprived accidents than drunk driving. With this information and your personal sleep history in mind, the proverbial ball is in your court. Take action? Or continue to sleep poorly and suffer potentially life-altering consequences? “ It is estimated that 80-90% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, and are sleeping every night with oxygen deficiency. In fact, one of the biggest symptoms of sleep apnea is snoring. But don’t let that fool you, just because you don’t snore doesn’t mean you do not have sleep apnea.” If you’re wondering if you have sleep apnea, Dr. Taylor can provide you with a take-home sleep monitor to record your breathing. The lightweight monitor is easy to use in the comfort of your
own bed, it’s affordable, and you simply return it to her office the next day. Dr. Taylor notes that compared to a CPAP machine, her neuromuscular-positioned sleep appliance is not bulky, it does not make noise and can reduce snoring sounds, it does not restrict sleep positioning ( you can sleep on your side, stomach, or back), and it’s easily packed in a suitcase for travel. Because the mandibular appliance works so well and

Salt From Page A1
According to The Salt Institute in Alexandria, Virginia, about 17 million tons of deicing salt is applied to roadways in the U.S. each year. Every winter, more than 116,000 Americans are injured and some 1,300 are killed as a result of pavement that is covered in snow, slush or ice, according to the institute. Road salt reduces crashes by 88 to 93 percent, the institute said. Morton Satin of The Salt Institute said salt will continue to be spread on roads for a long time. The institute has worked for years on developing methods to reduce the amount of road salt that gets into the environment, Satin said. The science of clearing snow and ice off roads is very complex, said Ron Wright, who works for the Idaho Transportation Department Issues include the temperature at which various products will work, the damage various chemicals cause to vehicles and roadways and the impacts on the environment. Deicing chemicals also need to have a long shelf life so they can be stockpiled, he said. “The sodium chloride rock salt has been a long established, well-utilized, functional tool,” said Wright, a member of the Pacific Northwest Snowfighters, an association of

state transportation agencies dedicated to ensuring the safety of winter roads by evaluating different products. It includes the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Colorado. The U.S. spends $2.3 billion each year to remove highway snow and ice, plus another $5 billion to mitigate the hidden costs associated with the process, Shi said. Hidden costs include long-term impacts of salt, sand and chemical deicers on the environment, roads and vehicles. In Washington state, for example, road crews apply roughly four tons of salt per lane mile per winter season, Shi said. “With a four-lane highway, you have 16 tons of salt per year in that one mile segment,” he said. “In 50 years, that’s about
800 tons of salt in that one mile - and 99 percent of it stays in the environment. It doesn’t degrade.” Shi’s research has led to advances like the smart snowplow, which comes loaded with sensors and is already being integrated into winter fleets. “Ordinary snowplows have at least one sensor to measure pavement temperature,” he said. “Smart snowplows not only read temperature, but also residual salt from previous applications, the presence of ice and the amount of friction on the road. All of these readings help operators apply less salt.” At Washington State, Shi’s passion is cooking up green deicers. “There is a lot of talk about beet and tomato juice deicers that are meant to be less corrosive to vehicles, guard
rails, steel bridges and concrete pavement,” Shi said. “They help, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.” Shi has developed an ice-melt composed of leftover barley residue from vodka distilleries. However, most of the green products on the market are blended with chlorides before they are used, Shi said. He is also testing new types of concrete. Deicerresistant concrete, for instance, doesn’t break down as quickly in the presence of salt and chemicals, he said. For icefree concrete, Shi adds tiny particles that prevent the pavement from bonding with ice. “Our ultimate goal is to apply the best amount of salt, sand or deicers at the right location at the right time,” Shi said.
Portland tower workers brave perils By David Stabler The Oregonian
PORTLAND, Ore. — Stand on the roof of Portland and look down. Way down. You could die a dozen ways up here. You could slip off the open deck. You could fall down the elevator shaft. A gust of wind...a swinging beam... Cables no thicker than Bic pens run around the deck and keep you safe. Safe? In the distance, Mt. Hood feels about eye level. It’s not natural to work up this high unless you’re an ironworker. These days, they’re crawling all over the Park Avenue West Tower, which pokes up behind the downtown Nordstrom and can already be seen from almost any corner of the city. Ironworkers are the ones who swing iron, bully it into place, weld it, bolt it and walk on it with cat-like tread. The only things that stop them are ice, high wind or lightning, which scatters them faster than quitting time. From the ground, they look interchangeable in their hard hats and reflector vests. Up close, they radiate swagger. They come off their shifts at 3:30 p.m., tools swaying from their belts, maybe a cigarette hanging from a lip, cracking jokes, heading home. They look at the Portland skyline and see their handiwork. They may toil in obscurity, but their work will last long after they’re gone. “We don’t go to the

office,” says veteran ironworker Mark Johnson, “we build it.” Thus their nickname: Cowboys. Ironworkers such as Johnson and Brian Veelle are a tight group and not exactly chatty. Their work speaks for itself. Why would anyone want to talk to them about their jobs? Put steel in their hands, they know what to do. Routine. Repetitive. No big deal. “Way of life,” Johnson says. Veelle nods. “Starts getting typical after a few floors,” he says. Part of the job is having a “very healthy respect for heights,” Johnson says. But that takes getting used to. Working at elevation actually gets easier the higher up you go, says Veelle, an ironworker for 24 years. “You can’t focus. You see just what’s in front of you.” Later, as if to demonstrate, two men saunter along beams little wider than their feet, suspended over nothing. Nylon or steel cables, strong enough to

withstand 5,000 pounds of force, tether them to beams. Hard hats, eye protection, gloves and over-theankle boots complete the uniform. “After you do it for a while, it’s like walking on a sidewalk,” says beamwalker Paul Diaz, once he’s safely back on the deck. Peril is everywhere For months, the Park Avenue building has been rising from the dead after the recession stopped construction for four years. Work resumed in February, ironwork in April. Now, approaching pedestrians crane their necks to take it in as ironwork climbs at a pace of one floor every four days. When the building is finished in December, 2015, it will be the fourth tallest in Portland. Owned by TMT Development, which built the nearby Fox Tower (27 stories) and Broadway Building (24), Park Avenue West will top out at 501 feet, a third as high as the Empire State Building. Offices, retail and high-end apartments will fill it. Hoffman Construction is the contractor. Right now, it’s about half done. The concrete core is complete. Hoop skirts of iron surround the core to the 25th floor. Next come steel decks, concrete floors and fireproofing the beams. Exterior glass already begins to enclose the lower floors. The top deck feels like a plaza — open to the sky with exhilarating views north, south, east and west. You could have a party up here, except the elevator only goes to 19,
so revelers would need to climb the last three stories on ladders lashed to a yawning elevator shaft. Peril is everywhere, even just walking on the corrugated deck. Its three-inch ridges feel as tenuous as treading on train tracks. Wind blows from all directions, capable of lifting a hardhat and landing it blocks away. And it’s noisy. While the wind moans through the iron latticework, the air booms, crackles, buzzes and whines, echoing off surrounding buildings. Ironworkers don’t seem to notice the noise or danger. They yank on beams dangling from the crane with chokers — cables — thick enough to anchor ocean liners. A welder showers the deck with sparks. Some of the 42 workers on this job — one is a woman — bash bolts with eight-pound sledgehammers. Others attach cables so beam walkers can tie off. Handrail guys install stairs. A raising gang secures iron for the crane. A bellman talks to the crane guy, telling him to “boom up,” “boom down.” As soon as a load of iron lifts into the air, a second bellman on the top deck takes over talking to the crane. Beams arrive by flatbed truck, 3,600 tons for the entire building. They start as steel, forged in mills in Indiana and Arkansas, then are loaded onto trains to Tigard, where they’re cut, drilled, sanded and bent into shape for everything from ceiling beams to vertical posts. Once fabricated, steel is called iron. A single beam can weigh 14 tons, as much as two elephants. In 1997, three ironworkers fell to their deaths while building a parking garage at Portland International Airport. A four-story section of iron framework collapsed, pulling the three workers, who were tied in, down with it. A fourth worker, untethered, survived after jumping clear of the collapsing structure. Injuries are expected, Johnson says. “Broken fingers, mashed fingers, broken bones. At some point in time you’re going to get hurt doing this job.”

Search on for missing jet
ACROSS THE U.S.
Police spokesman suspended after ‘trash’ remark FERGUSON, Mo. — The Ferguson Police Department has suspended a spokesman after he referred to the Michael Brown memorial as “a pile of trash.” A statement that the city provided Saturday didn’t identify the officer who made the remark. The Washington Post attributed the comment to Officer Tim Zoll. The memorial at the site of Brown’s death was damaged last week after a car apparently hit it. City officials said the remarks “do not reflect the feelings of the Ferguson Police Department.”

Relatives of the passengers of AirAsia flight QZ8501 wait for the latest news on the missing jetliner at a crisis center set up by local authority at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia on Sunday.
‘The hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea’ By Ali Kotarumalos and Margie Mason Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Search planes and ships from several countries on Monday were scouring Indonesian waters over which an AirAsia jet carrying 162 people disappeared, and more than a day into the region’s latest aviation mystery, officials doubted there could be anything but a tragic ending. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished Sunday in airspace thick with storm clouds on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. The search expanded Monday, but had yet to find any trace of the Airbus A320. “Based on the coordinates that we know, the evaluation would be that any estimated crash position is in the sea, and that the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea,” Indonesia search and rescue chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said at a news conference. First Adm. Sigit Setiayana, the Naval Aviation Center commander at the Surabaya air force base, said 12 navy ships, five planes, three helicopters
and a number of warships were taking part in the search, along with ships and planes from Singapore and Malaysia. Searchers had to cope with heavy rain Sunday, but Setiayana said Monday that visibility was good. “God willing, we can find it soon,” he told The Associated Press. At the Surabaya airport, passengers’ relatives pored over the plane’s manifest, crying and embracing. Nias Adityas, a housewife from Surabaya, was overcome with grief when she found the name of her husband, Nanang Priowidodo, on the list. The 43-year-old tour agent had been taking a family of four on a trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia’s Lombok island, and had been happy to get the work. “He just told me, ‘Praise God, this new year brings a lot of good fortune,”’ Adityas recalled, holding her grandson tight while weeping uncontrollably. Nearly all the passengers and crew are Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays. The Airbus A320 took off Sunday morning from Indonesia’s
second-largest city and was about halfway to Singapore when it vanished from radar. The jet had been airborne for about 42 minutes. There was no distress signal from the twin-engine, single-aisle plane, said Djoko Murjatmodjo, Indonesia’s acting director general of transportation. The last communication between the cockpit and air traffic control was at 6:13 a.m. , when one of the pilots “asked to avoid clouds by turning left and going higher to 34,000 feet,” Murjatmodjo said. The jet was last seen on radar at 6:16 a.m. and was gone a minute later, he told reporters. “We have no idea at the moment what went wrong,” said AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes, a Malaysian businessman who founded the low-cost carrier in 2001. “Let’s not speculate at the moment.” Malaysia-based AirAsia has a good safety record and had never lost a plane before. “This is my worst nightmare,” Fernandes tweeted. AirAsia said Flight 8501 was on its submitted flight plan but had requested a change due to
weather. Sunardi, a forecaster at Indonesia’s Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, said dense storm clouds were detected up 44,000 feet in the area at the time. “There could have been turbulence, lightning and vertical as well as horizontal strong winds within such clouds,” said Sunardi, who like many Indonesians uses only one name. Airline pilots routinely fly around thunderstorms, said John Cox, a former accident investigator. Using on-board radar, flight crews can typically see a storm forming from more than 100 miles away. In such cases, pilots have plenty of time to find a way around the storm cluster or look for gaps to fly through, he said. The plane had an Indonesian captain and a French co-pilot, five cabin crew members and 155 passengers, including 16 children and one infant, the airline said in a statement. Among the passengers were three South Koreans, a Malaysian, a British national and his 2-yearold Singaporean daughter. The rest were Indonesians.
Greek ferry disaster kills 1, strands hundreds By Demetris Nellas and Frances D’emilio Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — Hundreds of passengers and crew braved smokey fire, frigid temperatures and gale-force winds Sunday as they waited for nearly a day to be evacuated from a burning ferry adrift in rough seas between Italy and Albania. At least one person died and two were injured in the risky rescue operation. The Italian Navy said 190 of the 478 people on the ferry, sailing from the Greek port of Patras to Ancona in Italy, had been evacuated by late Sunday night. Most were airlifted by helicopter to other merchant vessels sailing nearby, though a few were flown to hospitals in southern Italy to be treated for hypothermia. “It will be a very difficult night. A night in which we hope we will be able to rescue all on board,” Greek Merchant Marine Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis said in Athens. The fire broke out before dawn Sunday on a car deck of the Italian-flagged Norman Atlantic, carrying 422 passengers and 56 crew members. Passengers huddled on the vessel’s upper decks, pelted by rain and hail and struggling

to breathe through the thick smoke, passengers told Greek media by phone. “We are outside, we are very cold, the ship is full of smoke,” passenger Giorgos Stiliaras told Greek Mega TV. He recalled people being awakened by “the smell of burning plastic” and that the heat from the fire felt like the floors were “boiling.” Italy and Greece sent navy and coast guard vessels and helicopters to the extensive rescue operation, while nearby merchant ships lined up to form a barrier to protect the
ferry from towering waves. Varvitsiotis described the efforts as “one of the most complex search and rescue operations we have dealt with in recent years.” An Italian Air Force helicopter pilot said smoke was invading the helicopter cabin, making rescue even more challenging. Maj. Antonio Laneve told Italian state TV some of those they were trying to rescue were very frightened of being hoisted up by helicopter given the adverse weather. Nine of those evacuated were taken to the Italian
town of Lecce. Of those, three children and a pregnant woman were being treated for hypothermia in Lecce hospital. Dr. Raffaele Montinaro said the children were in “excellent” condition, and emergency room doctor, Antonio Palumbo, said the mother’s condition was also good. “For sure they are scared,” said Eligio Rocco Catamo, manager of the Copertino hospital. “But I should say that I was impressed by the calm and the serenity they are showing.” A local convent was housing survivors who were released from the hospital. The Italian Navy said the man who died and his injured wife were transported by helicopter to the southern Italian city of Brindisi. It was unclear how the death and injury occurred, but the Greek Coast Guard said the pair — both Greek passengers — were found in a lifeboat rescue chute. Passengers described scenes of terror and chaos when the fire broke out as they slept in their cabins. “They called first on women and children to be evacuated from the ship,” Vassiliki Tavrizelou, who was rescued along with her 2-year-old daughter, told The Associated Press.
Two alleged victims of a registered sex offender have filed a lawsuit seeking damages for pain and suffering after the man won $3 million in a Florida Lottery jackpot. Timothy Poole purchased the winning ticket earlier this month in Mount Dora, near Orlando. He took a lump sum payment of about $2.2 million. Poole was accused of sexually battering a 9-year-old boy in 1999. Poole denied the allegations but pleaded guilty to attempted sexual battery and was sentenced to time served. The lawsuit was filed by two brothers, who were ages 9 and 5 when Poole was arrested.
Texas: Five people die in apartment building fire Five people died Sunday after a fire broke out at a senior-living apartment building in the San Antonio suburb of Castle Hills, authorities said. Ten other residents of the Wedgwood Apartments remained hospitalized and others were unaccounted for Sunday evening, according to Bexar County Fire Marshall spokeswoman Laura Jesse. The cause of the three-alarm fire is under investigation, but it appears to have originated on the third floor, Jesse said. The fire, now extinguished, left some “significant damage,” she said. About 150 residents of the 11-story high-rise were taken by city buses to a local high school. Others decamped to a hotel. The names of those killed in the fire have not been released.
Calif.: Great white shark bites San Luis Obispo surfer Authorities say a surfer at a Central California beach survived an attack by a juvenile great white shark. Supervising State Park Ranger Robert Colligan said Sunday that the man in his 50s sustained minor injuries and was able to paddle himself to shore. The 11:30 a.m. attack happened at Sand Spit beach in the Montana De Oro State Park west of San Luis Obispo. Colligan said the man was one of several surfers in the water. Witnesses reported the shark being between 8 and 10 feet long. The shark bit the man on his right hip. Colligan said the beach is not closed, but signs are posted warning the public of the attack.
AROUND THE WORLD
U.S., NATO mark end of 13-year war in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan — The war in Afghanistan, fought for 13 bloody years and still raging, came to a formal end Sunday with a quiet flag-lowering ceremony in Kabul that marked the transition of the fighting from U.S.-led combat troops to the country’s own security forces. In front of a small, hand-picked audience at the headquarters of the NATO mission, the green-and-white flag of the International Security Assistance Force was ceremonially rolled up and sheathed, and the flag of the new international mission called Resolute Support was hoisted. U.S. Gen. John Campbell, commander of ISAF, commemorated the 3,500 international soldiers killed on Afghan battlefields and praised the country’s army for giving him confidence that they are able to take on the fight alone. Beginning Jan. 1, the new mission will provide training and support for Afghanistan’s military, with the U.S. accounting for almost 11,000 of the 13,500 members of the residual force.

Para-Phernalia’s business: Saving lives Arlington company wants to build on the success of its acclaimed Softie parachutes By Eileen Bjorkman Herald Business Journal
Skydivers jump out of airplanes on purpose, but some people jump because their aircraft is no longer working right. Para-Phernalia, a small business at the Arlington Municipal Airport, caters to the latter. The original Para-Phernalia owners set up shop in 1979 near the now-closed Issaquah Airport. At first, the business focused on skydiving accessories such as jumpsuits, hats and bags for carrying parachute gear, but then moved into the parachutes themselves. A parachute consists of three major parts — canopy, harness, and container. Most people are familiar with the canopy — it’s the part that resembles a giant bed sheet and billows above the jumper’s head upon descent. The canopy attaches to the body via a harness and is stowed in a container until it’s needed. ParaPhernalia chose to focus their design on harnesses and containers; they obtain canopies from a company in Southern California. Dan Tarasievich, an engineer originally from the Midwest and a skydiver since 1972, bought the company in 1984 and moved it to the Arlington Municipal Airport in 1992. At the same time, he sold off the skydiving part of the operation to focus on emergency parachutes, which have a huge demand from pilots flying in air shows, vintage military aircraft, aircraft formations, aerobatic competitions, air racing, gliders and homebuilt aircraft. Tarasievich said what sets his product apart from other manufacturers of pilot emergency parachutes is comfort. Skydivers only wear their parachutes for a few minutes at a time so comfort isn’t a major issue, but pilots and other aircrew members often keep their parachutes on for hours as they fly air show routines and ferry airplanes around the country. When Julie Clark, a petite air show pilot, tried on one of Tarasievich’s “micro-Softie” emergency parachutes at an air show, she told him, “This is the first parachute I’ve ever put on that fit me.” In addition to making a sale to Clark, Tarasievich made an on-the-spot commitment to keep manufacturing parachutes for pilots of all sizes. That commitment has been a good business model, both in the U.S. and overseas, as international sales now account for about one-fourth of Para-Phernalia’s business. Tarasievich said, “If we had to rely on just U.S. business, we wouldn’t be the same company.” One overseas customer is

German company Extra Aircraft, makers of high performance aerobatic aircraft. Tarasievich said that an Extra employee visited Para-Phernalia’s booths during European air shows, and Extra now buys Softies that they provide as an option to their customers. Marketing to the international community is identical to the U.S. — in addition to booths at air shows, Para-Phernalia advertises in aviation magazines, but mostly they rely on word of mouth from satisfied customers. Tarasievich said pilots visiting the U.S. often borrow parachutes from U.S. pilots, and once the international pilots try on a Softie, they want one of their own. Manufacturing overseas parachutes is the same as well, due to bilateral agreements between countries regarding aerospace equipment standards. The only difference in overseas sales is taxes and customs duties, which gives international parachute vendors a competitive price advantage.
But, according to Tarasievich, “No one is as comfortable.” Softie parachutes have been used to save at least 34 pilot lives to date, although Para-Phernalia doesn’t hear about all bailouts. In particular, Tarasievich said European pilots seem reticent to discuss bailouts, although he knows that Softie parachutes saved the lives of two British pilots in 1999 when their fiberglass glider disintegrated after a lightning strike. Para-Phernalia employs eight people, most with flexible hours. Tarasievich said, “Right now we’re entering the slow time of year, but rather than cut back, we’ll start building subassemblies for next year to keep everyone working. We haven’t laid anyone off in 20 years.” For additional diversification, the company also recently expanded into making specialized covers for medical equipment, which accounts for about 5 percent of their business. Many of the employees are current or former skydivers. Jonathan Clark, who sews and builds

harness components, also works part time at an indoor skydiving facility. Jimmy Culler, with the company since 1980, started out sewing hats until another employee taught him how to design parachutes; he has been chief designer since the 1990s. A former skydiver, he took up hang gliding in 1995, which he views as safer. Holly Sampson, the office
administrator, grew up at the airport with her parents’ ultralight aircraft business. She said, “The best part of my job is, when you get that one phone call that says they’re having coffee with their family when they might not have been. You don’t put a price on that. The value of your job becomes very different at that moment. This is why we do what we do.”
Lynnwood apartments purchased by Chicago firm Herald Business Journal

LYNNWOOD — A Chicagobased real estate investment group announced the purchase of Martha Lake Apartments, a 155-unit garden-style apartment complex in north Lynnwood. The property at 16626 Sixth Ave. W was bought for $20.3 million, according to records filed with the Snohomish County Assessor’s office. The apartments had been
purchased for $15 million in 2011 by a group called Martha Lake LLC, according to the records. Development in the Puget Sound area has been concentrated in the urban area of Seattle, which is creating opportunity for well-located suburban communities like Martha Lake, said Peter Kuzma, assistant vice president of acquisitions at Waterton Associates, in a press release.
Intermec is in the final stages of a move to a new 70,000 square foot building in the Northpointe Corporate Center in Lynnwood. This location will consolidate employees currently working at Everett and Redmond sites. Boeing’s Electrical Systems Responsibility Center will lease the vacated 300,000 square-foot,
“Martha Lake already benefits from its commuter-friendly location, offering convenient access to major employment centers throughout the north Puget Sound region,” Kuzma said. “By making improvements to individual residences, common areas and amenity spaces, we see tremendous upside potential as we improve the overall living experience for residents.” This is the second large

IN OUR VIEW | Railroad safety
Do not reduce train crews to 1 With profit seemingly driving all business decisions, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the country’s major railroad companies are continuing their quest to reduce freight trains crews ... to one person. Not surprising, but scary. The railroad bosses are united in their desire for this change, citing technological advances. Labor groups, those living on rail lines and people interested in common sense are opposed. Rail “crews” are already down to two — an engineer who drives the train and a conductor who oversees the long line of cars, communicates with dispatchers and provides a second set of monitoring eyes. Through the decades, trains have only gotten longer, while carrying more hazardous
materials, including coal and oil — a concern highlighted here in the past of couple of years as shipments into the Pacific Northwest, according to the Department of Ecology, went from zero barrels a year in 2011 to nearly 17 million barrels in 2013. The oil influx coincides with a proposal to build a coal export terminal at Cherry Point in Whatcom County, increasing daily rail traffic by nine trains. Rail executives say that safety advances, including a new automatic braking system under development, could minimize risks, allowing the trains to be run by a one person crew, AP reported. Could minimize risks? That also means they might not. The blind belief in automation
is not a compelling argument. Technology can supplement safety measures, but any advantage gained is lost when management views a new tool as a way to replace people. The call for one-person crews comes even as new safety regulations for oil trains are being considered at the federal and state levels. It also comes as rail companies seek to increase train length in order to deliver more, and to expand capacity to handle more freight. “These trains are 7,000 tons going 50 mph. You have to have two people,” J.P. Wright, an engineer for CSX railroad in Louisville, Kentucky, told AP. “It’s mindboggling to me that the railroads would go this far with it.” The rail companies argue
that a second person doesn’t necessarily improve safety. “In many cases, that second crew member will be redundant,” said Frank Wilner, who has written six books on the rail industry. When it comes to safety systems, redundancy is exactly what you want. Disaster prevention requires prudence. And taking more precautions, not less. When engineers and conductors say two people are needed to operate a train, everyone should listen. If disaster prevention isn’t enough motivation for rail management to drop this dangerous plan, perhaps they will understand that sticking with common-sense staffing will likely save them money in the long run.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT
Do more trains cause more slides? Maybe this is old news that I may have missed, but is there any consideration about the extra oil trains are causing a lot of extra vibration on the tracks and nearby cliffs south of Everett? Fewer oil trains should be evaluated. Seems like there should be another way that is no more expensive and less disruptive ... considering the problems being caused with traffic, slides, potential home loss, etc. Wayne Johnson Lake Stevens

Dysfunction levels constant
Regarding the articles about the accusations between the Snohomish County Council and the executive’s office: So the big reveal is that some of county council members are easily offended, humorless crybabies eager to spend public funds to salve their hurt feelings. It almost makes one nostalgic for the days when the county executive spent his time giving private horizontal dance lessons to his county-employed paramour as his key assistant too cleverly employed obscure literary references in a dirty tricks campaign while simultaneously and stupidly storing pornographic selfies on his county computer.

■■SID SCHWAB
Angry tone ruins any real points Sid Schwab represents a legitimate and authentic component of our unique Pacific Northwest political mosaic. It is truly sad — and revealing — that he can’t extend the same legitimacy to those (about half of us Pacific Northwesterners) at the other end of the political spectrum. His perpetual angry tone and obsessive blind hatred of any and all dissenting opinion (Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc.) spoils and contradicts any otherwise legitimate points he makes. His contemptuous dismissal of the rest of us as mindless “Foxlimbeckians” is not really worthy of the authentic liberal American political tradition he claims to represent.
But, Sid is one of us and one of ours. Therefore I, for one, will not take part in any retaliation with in-kind namecalling. Hypocrite, neo-Fascist idiot (left-wing variety), mad dog hate-monger, Americahating educated fool, are labels best applied to Sid’s political bedfellows (herein unnamed) at the national level where more damage can (an is) being done. Besides, he (not meant to hurt his feelings) is only a little fish in our Pacific Northwest pond. His frothing mad-dog style is amusing, does no damage, convinces no one, changes no minds, energizes and actually helps his conservative opposition. So keep it up, Sid. You’re making us look good, but yourself, not so much. We like you. Ralph Dufresne Marysville

The need for data on all in-custody deaths The Washington Post Editorial Board
T
he leaders of a protest movement against excessive police force are weighing their next steps, The Post’s Wesley Lowery reported this week. The assessment follows both greater success than anticipated in triggering rallies across the nation and some backlash that blamed the protests (baselessly, in our view) for the recent slayings of two New York City police officers. As the leaders consider their next moves, we hope they do not lose sight of an early achievement, which will require attention to bring it to fruition. One test of any social movement is its power to inspire legislation. By that measure, the protests that followed the deaths
of Michael Brown and Eric Garner already demonstrated strength. Before adjourning, Congress adopted and sent to President Obama a significant bill that could help provide a crucial missing ingredient for reform: accurate information. The Death in Custody Reporting Act would give state and local law enforcement agencies incentives to report to the Justice Department all deaths of people, for any cause, while they are under arrest, in the process of being arrested, detained or incarcerated. Agencies that want to retain federal funding would have to fill out a brief form for each case, including the name, age, gender and race of the deceased, along with a short explanation of the circumstances. While the statute would cover nonviolent deaths, and even deaths
from illness, as well as violent ones, the main hope is that it will enable data-crunchers to analyze patterns in the use of force and thereby spot potentially unjustifiable trends at particular departments. To be sure, the measure is not exactly brand-new. A version passed in 2000 but expired in 2006; in only three of those years did the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics have authority to require quarterly reports. Since then, voluntary reporting has continued but also has proven spotty. A recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal found that nearly 45 percent of the justifiable homicides tallied by the nation’s 105 largest police departments went unreported to the FBI between 2007 and 2012. Florida and New York, two of the largest states in the country, accounted for 290
of 580 missing cases analyzed by the paper. In the wake of the Brown and Garner tragedies, there is reason to be optimistic that this latest iteration of the bill will prove more effective and durable. A big part of the problem is that no one in the debate over police conduct really even knows what they don’t know. “Hopefully when we get information we can figure out how to reduce the numbers of people dying,” said Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Virginia., who shepherded the bill through the Republican-dominated House. We can’t think of a better reason to look forward to Mr. Obama’s signature on the measure — and to keep pressure on the Justice Department to ensure conscientious implementation of it thereafter. The above editorial appeared in the Dec. 24 Post.
U.S. has given Sunnis little reason for trust
W
atching events unfold in Iraq this year has been like viewing a slow-motion train wreck. Tribal leaders have been warning since spring about the rise of the terrorist Islamic State and pleading for American help. But after months of slaughter, the United States is only now beginning to build an effective tribal-assistance program. The Albu Nimr tribe has been savaged especially, in part because it supported what became the U.S.-led Awakening movement in Anbar province. In 2004, memDAVID IGNATIUS bers of the Albu Nimr made early contacts with U.S. Marine officers in Amman, Jordan, that helped foster the later, broader campaign against al-Qaida. Back in October, I wrote about the plight of the Albu Nimr as Islamic State fighters advanced on the tribe’s ancestral home near Hit along the Euphrates River. Pleas to Centcom and the Iraqi military on the night of Oct. 23 brought no aid, and the tribal fighters surrendered; over the next few weeks, several hundred tribesmen were killed. “What happened to the Nimrs was an unmitigated tragedy,” says one top U.S. official. U.S. commanders say they lacked systems for quick response. Centcom is now said to have a hotline for the tribes, but material assistance has been limited. The Albu Nimr catastrophe happened partly because of crossed wires. Many of the tribe’s leaders were based in Amman, but U.S. policy was seeking to draw Sunni fighters toward Baghdad and the new, less-polarizing prime minister, Haider al-Abadi. In effect, Baghdad trumped Amman, and the Albu Nimr were caught in the middle. The plight of the Albu Nimr and other tribes is suggested by emails sent over the past few months as the Islamic State terrorized Anbar. “Today, we have a small window of opportunity to recruit fighters from Sunni tribes because they are mad about losing their livelihoods and their relatives have been killed,” wrote one Albu Nimr leader in November, after the Hit massacre, to a retired Marine major who had served in Anbar. The problem, the tribal leader argued, was that because the United States was working so closely with the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, Sunnis in Anbar doubted there was any U.S. commitment to giving them more power. Without this political commitment, weapons and even Apache gunships would be of little use. “This effort will not succeed as a strategy simply because there is no political solution offered as part of the recruitment,” the Albu Nimr leader warned. On Nov. 21, the same tribal leader advised Centcom, through the retired Marine major, that Albu Nimr volunteers still fighting near Hit had not been fed properly for three days and that 17 had given up because of hunger. “The whole effort will collapse very soon if no proper supplies and proper food [are] delivered.” The Albu Nimr continued to knock on the U.S. door. On Dec. 11, the tribal leader wrote to the retired Marine major: “I must say, people are very disappointed with the level of support by government to tribal fighters which is almost nonexistent.” Ten days before, he said, Albu Nimr fighters had been forced to give up a position they had retaken along the Euphrates, with several dozen captured, and that the situation in nearby Ramadi was “very critical.” A retired Marine brigadier general who served in Anbar summarized the lesson for rolling back the Islamic State. “It’s about trust, and trust can’t be surged or instantaneously developed,” he argued. What has begun to change over the past six months is that Sunni leaders in Jordan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Turkey all seem willing to work with the Shiite-led government in Baghdad to back a tribal campaign against the Islamic State. This effort may fail because of mistrust among the tribes, but it would have been inconceivable while the divisive Nouri al-Maliki was prime minister. Sunni tribal leaders say in interviews that they want to roll back the Islamic State, but they’re wary allies. They don’t trust Baghdad, and many don’t trust the United States. A common-front strategy won’t work without sustained, close-in U.S. support for people who have been betrayed so often that their first thought is survival.

Craig Branson took this photo at about 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 7. The picture of this dark-eyed owl was taken off the deck of his home in South Snohomish County (about a mile from the intersection of Highway 527 and 180th Street SE).
Addam Soule took this photo in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest in July.
Camila Perry reports, “ I took the picture last month at home using oil and water and some lights to make this shot.”
SCHOOL WINNERS That’s a whole lot of love (and food)
The Granite Falls High School leadership team, along with staff and many volunteers, spent two full days sorting and organizing donations from the community for an annual food and gift drive. This year’s drive brought in 22,443 items and $10,527.25 in monetary and gift card donations. The district “adopted” 204 families, and over 500 children received gifts for the holidays. The local food banks each received a large moving van load of food as well. It took two days to deliver all the items. “Thank you all for showing this community a sign of love,” said Eric Dinwiddie, a teacher and advisor to the student leadership team.
More generosity from Cascade Cascade High School in Everett holds a massive food drive each year. This year’s event brought in 91,144 cans, $20,784.35 and over 900 gifts, which filled the school’s gymnasium. The school was able to serve 179 families and provide large donations to the Volunteers of America food bank. Extra gifts and food were donated to Hand-in-Hand.

students visited on a different day. Not-so-secret code after schoolOver 60 students in grades 2-6 at Seaview Elementary School in Edmonds participated in an “Hour of Code” on Dec. 12. After being dismissed for the day for the holiday break, the students gathered at computers set up in the library, computer lab and multi-purpose room to learn the basics of computer science. A similar “Hour of Code” event was held earlier in the week at Chase Lake Community with nearly 30 students participating. The “Hour of Code” is an introduction to computer science, with the vision that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science, according to the Code.org website.

DAILY CROSSWORD
How to end power struggle over potty By John Rosemond Tribune News Service
Question: My 31-month-old has been out of diapers for at least 8 months during the day. She has been very good with toilet training until recently. Now she goes for a while without accidents and then a period of a week or so with at least one accident a day. I can see she needs to go, but when I ask her she says no. At this point, if I try to get her to go, she begins screaming and crying and resisting. If I’m able to get her to the bathroom, she wets herself as I’m taking off her pants. I can’t help but get angry with her because I have tried to prevent the accident. She seems to be going backward with toileting. How do you suggest I deal with this? Answer: There are three obvious problems here: First, you are asking her if she needs to use the toilet when she obviously needs to use the toilet. That question is provoking a negative response
and things begin to cascade from there. Many of today’s parents, I notice, have a habit of asking a question when they want a child to do something. “How about let’s pick up these toys now, OK?” actually means “I want you to pick up these toys now.” If that’s what the parent actually means, then that is what the parent should say. The question, because it implies that the child has a choice in the matter, is likely to result in push-back. Why would a child say he wants to pick up his toys if he has a say in the matter? The same is true of “Do you have to use the potty?” What you actually mean is “It’s time for you to use the potty.” Therefore, that is what you should say. Or, you can simply walk over to her, take her hand, say “Come with me” and take her to the potty. Or — and this is my preferred recommendation — you simply say, “You need to use the potty” and walk away. This approach would begin to defuse the power struggle you’ve created concerning this issue.

The second problem is that you have to remove her clothing for her. A child who is having accidents (more accurately called “on-purposes”) during the day should be wearing clothes she can remove without your help, and the fewer articles of clothing your daughter has to remove or pull down, the better. Make this as simple as possible for her. The third problem is your anger, which is fueling the power struggle and contributing to the downward spiral that you and your daughter are caught up in. You need some anger management, so here goes: When she has an “accident,” tell her that her doctor says she has to remain in the bathroom until she uses the potty correctly. Give her a cup full of water to hasten the process. Assigning the authority in the situation to a third party whose authority is already accepted by the child is a very strategic way of defusing a parent-child power struggle and getting things back on track.

Should single mom cut ties to absent dad? Dear Abby: I’m a single mom. My child’s father has refused to take any responsibility since before the baby was born. I never cut ties because I’m sure my son will someday long for and want to know his real father. Even though he renounced his responsibility, he took it back and said he’d try to be there for my child. We are geographically many miles apart, and I no longer expect or hope for any possibility of a reconciliation — which is fine. I just never wanted to seem like someone who has been dumped, so I reason that we’re cool. He never calls to ask how our child is. What should I do? Should I cut ties with him forever, or must I continue to be the one to message him informing him about the milestones? — Confused Single Mom, Yokohama, Japan Dear Confused: A man who “tries” to be responsible for his children pays at least token child support to ensure that they are fed, clothed and educated. Nowhere in your letter did you indicate that your child’s father has done that — or intends to. If you want to stay in touch so your child will have an address to reach him when he’s older, I think that’s laudable. But if you’re expecting he will suddenly develop an interest — or a conscience — the pattern that has been set seems pretty well established, so don’t get your hopes up. Dear Abby: We’re in the middle of a dispute with my mother-in-law. She insisted on using place cards at our family’s Thanksgiving dinner to indicate where she wanted us to sit. I felt it was controlling because it RIP HAYWIRE

LOS ANGELES — Angela Lansbury has moved yet again. This time, home is the Ahmanson Theatre, where the 89-year-old Tony winner and honorary Oscar recipient has settled in for a six-week run of Noel Coward’s comedy “Blithe Spirit.” This is Lansbury’s third time around with Coward’s 1941 farce, which is propelled by a medium who accidentally conjures the ghost of a writer’s precocious wife. Lansbury played the clairvoyant Madame Arcati on Broadway in 2009. She reprised the role last spring on the West End. Now, she’s taking the character on the road for a four-city North American tour that began in Los Angeles Dec. 9. “It’s a role that I enjoy playing tremendously,” Lansbury said in a recent interview, adding it was a no-brainer returning to a part “that really, really makes the audience sit up and say, ‘Oh my gosh, what is she doing now?”’ A passion for bicycling may be the only tie binding the eccentric

CENTRE THEATRE GROUP
Angela Lansbury is starring in Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles through Jan. 18.
Arcati and Lansbury’s best-known character: the earthbound mystery writer-turned-sleuth Jessica Fletcher, whom the actress portrayed on the television series “Murder, She Wrote” from 1984-96. “People say to me, ‘Well, how can you play Jessica Fletcher and then you come along and play Madame Arcati?’” Lansbury said. “I say, ‘It’s all about imagination.’ That’s what acting is, is imagination. If you don’t have imagination, you’re not going to want to play different roles. I’ve always wanted to attack roles that
an estimated 300 Sioux Indians were killed by U.S. troops sent to disarm them. In 1916, Grigory Rasputin, the so-called “Mad Monk” who’d wielded great influence with Czar Nicholas II, was killed by a group of Russian noblemen in

didn’t appear to be something I’d ever done before.” Lansbury added that, personally, she is “nowhere near” either character, “even though a lot of people would say, ‘Well, you must be like Jessica.’ I’m probably closer to Jessica than I am to Arcati, because I’m a very ordinary person.” But she’s had an extraordinary career, even if the actress herself occasionally begs to differ. The London-born Lansbury was just 19 when her first film, “Gaslight,” earned her an Oscar nomination. Nevertheless, precious-few A-titles and great screen roles would come her way for the next two decades. “I knew that Hollywood didn’t know what to do with me,” said the actress, who received two more Academy Award nominations before receiving an honorary statuette last year. Even before putting movies on the back burner, she accepted offers to do plays in both London and New York, “but then I got into musical theater, and that opened up doors,” Lansbury said. Her

first was the original 1964 Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents tuner “Anyone Can Whistle,” which, after critical pans, closed following a mere nine performances. However, just two years later, Jerry Herman insisted on casting Lansbury in his new musical “Mame,” which became a smash, and, at age 40, a Broadway baby was born. Of the actress’s five Tonys, four are for musicals. As for television? It’s ironic that Lansbury’s greatest hit, “Murder, She Wrote,” the work that finally brought her global recognition, in some ways, took the least effort. Jessica Fletcher “was a lovely woman to play,” Lansbury recalled. “But it didn’t require acting ability on my part, at all — none. “Arcati, on the other hand, requires every bit of imagination I can muster.” Lansbury will be packing up the character and moving on soon, with the “Spirit” company heading to San Francisco, Toronto and ending up in Washington, D.C.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Accept the inevitable and maintain balance and equality in your dealings. This year your undivided attention will be required if you want to maintain your status quo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful how you handle work-related matters. Someone will be watching what you do. Stay calm and focus on taking charge and doing what needs to be done. Don’t let anyone manipulate you emotionally. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Set your standards and share your thoughts. You will attract interest but also competition. Keep your emotions in check and don’t take chances that may cost you your reputation or your position. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take care of responsibilities before going out with friends. Good fortune can be yours if you gather facts before making a move.

pursue in the new year. ����� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Socialize with your peers and you will make headway that can lead to a higher income, but don’t be too quick to commit or sign a contract. Hedge your bets and choose your moment to make your move based on the best deal. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone will draw an emotional rise out of you that could alter the way you live. You may not like what happens initially, but in the end, the benefits will be plentiful. ��� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Proceed with caution when dealing with peers. Meetings can go either way depending on how you handle questions. Don’t let emotions take over or allow anger to get the better of you. ��� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Check out something new and research information rather than taking someone’s word. Fixing up your home or preparing for New Year’s festivities is favored as long as you don’t overspend. ����� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will face complaints and mustn’t let what others do or say affect your productivity. Invest in yourself and your future, not in what someone else wants you to do. �� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have some great ideas to put into play. An interesting job opportunity is apparent, but may require a partner in order to get things off the ground. ���� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you do to help others will add to your popularity, but don’t let anyone take advantage of you or what you have to offer. Taking on responsibilities must not stop you from doing what’s best for you. ���

Seahawks once again show they know how to finish
SEATTLE — On a day of opportunity, the Seattle Seahawks closed their regular season with an inspired second-half effort, overtaking and defeating the St. Louis Rams 20-6 before a raucous and ultimately celebratory crowd at CenturyLink Field. With the victory, Seattle clinches the NFC’s No. 1 playoff position and a first-round bye next weekend. It also means the Seahawks will host a playoff game at 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Jan.

EATTLE — The Rams’ Benny Cunningham was going to score a touchdown right up until he didn’t. Just like the Seahawks were out of the NFC West race, and maybe even the playoffs, right up until they weren’t. For a team and a coach who preach the importance of finishing, the Seattle Seahawks’ 20-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams was a fitting end to a regular season that saw them clinch the division as well as the NFC’s top seed for the second straight year. No play symbolized what this team is all about more than free See BOYLE, Page C5

Herald news services SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh will not return for the final season of his $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011. The announcement came Sunday after a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals and following a 8-8 season in which San Francisco had hoped to establish some momentum in the new $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium. Instead, the 49ers saw thousands of empty seats at most games. San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention with a 17-7 loss at Seattle on Dec. 14, its second defeat to the rival Seahawks in an 18-day stretch that helped seal Harbaugh’s fate. Harbaugh guided the 49ers to three straight NFC championship games and had a Super Bowl-or-bust mentality for this season that quickly turned sour. “Jim and I have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to move in different directions,” said CEO Jed York. “We thank Jim for bringing a tremendous competitive nature and a great passion for the game to the 49ers. He and his staff restored a winning culture that has been the standard for our franchise throughout its history.”
The Detroit Free Press reported that unless negotiations fall apart, all signs indicate that Harbaugh will be the next football coach at Michigan by Monday or Tuesday. A deal between Harbaugh and Michigan has not been signed, but that isn’t stopping U-M staffers from getting together events to introduce Harbaugh on Tuesday, including a news conference and an appearance at an afternoon basketball game, a person within the university with knowledge of the plans told the Free Press on Sunday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because U-M officials aren’t authorized to speak publicly about the coaching search. The hope is that Harbaugh will fly to Ann Arbor sometime Monday. That adds to the mounting viewpoint that Harbaugh, an All-America quarterback at U-M in the 1980s will strike a deal with interim athletic director Jim Hackett and will return to his alma mater to attempt to rebuild the football program. Late Saturday night, a longtime close friend of Harbaugh’s — a television sportscaster in the Bay Area — tweeted that Harbaugh was expected to be introduced as Michigan’s 20th head football coach Tuesday. The sportscaster, Dave Feldman, works for Comcast
Sports Network Bay Area, went to school with Harbaugh at Palo Alto High and hosts the pregame show and other game-day broadcast elements for the 49ers. Sunday, two prominent football journalists — one who covers the NFL, one who covers colleges — added to the chorus. On ESPN Radio, John Clayton put it as a certainly that Harbaugh would coach at Michigan, the first prominent NFL insider to do so. Every Sunday for the past month, NFL insiders have proclaimed that Harbaugh would stay in the NFL or wanted to stay in the NFL. “I would say 100 percent,” Clayton said on ESPN Radio. “Because over the last couple days, he’s actually been calling coaches around the National Football League to see if they would come to college. Guys right now that may be in a position where they’re going to be losing their jobs with their teams. ... So it’s pretty well set they’ll work out the deal by Tuesday and he’ll end up being the Michigan coach.” That was followed about a half-hour later by tweets from Bruce Feldman, the college football insider for Fox Sports. He said Harbaugh and his family would fly to Michigan on Monday and attend Tuesday’s Big Ten opener against Illinois at Crisler Center.

Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb celebrates with fans after catching a touchdown pass during the second half of Sunday’s game against the Lions.
Packers beat Lions, win NFC North By Genaro C. Armas Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. — A heating pad wrapped around his sore left calf, Aaron Rodgers could only watch helplessly on television monitors in the locker room as the Detroit Lions surged closer to his Green Bay Packers. There was only one place that he wanted to be — back on the turf with the rest of the Packers while they tried to secure a fourth straight NFC North title. Green Bay’s franchise quarterback is limping into the playoffs with a smile. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes to Randall Cobb, Eddie Lacy gashed Detroit’s defense for 100 yards, and the Packers celebrated another division championship with a 30-20 victory Sunday. Rodgers will appreciate a week off after the win, as the Packers (12-4) earned a bye. Detroit (11-5) starts the postseason at Dallas next week. “It’s clearly an MVP performance — another MVP performance — by Aaron Rodgers,” coach Mike McCarthy said. Rodgers won the award in 2011. Rodgers was carted to the
locker room after tossing his first score to Cobb late in the second quarter. He tweaked the calf during last week’s win at Tampa Bay. This injury came in a different spot in the calf, Rodgers said. He came up limping again. In the locker room while getting treatment, Rodgers said he was thinking about “if I could finagle myself to go back in the game.” He hobbled back on to the field in the third quarter with the game tied at 14. “I just felt like if I got in there, it might give us a little jolt,” Rodgers said. The jolt soon followed. A seven-play, 60-yard drive ended with a 13-yard score to Cobb for a 21-14 lead. The Packers didn’t look back. Rodgers plunged across the goal line from 1 yard with 8:45 left to help Green Bay regain a two-touchdown lead. “MVP! MVP” chanted adoring fans while light snow dusted Lambeau Field. Rodgers finished 17 of 22 for 226 yards. He was out of the game for about a seven-minute stretch between the second and third quarters. In between,
Calvin Johnson had touchdown catches of 4 and 20 yards on consecutive drives to help the Lions roar back from a 14-0 deficit. Detroit hasn’t won a division title since 1993. It hasn’t won a road game against the Packers since 1991. For a few moments while Rodgers was out, it looked like both those streaks might end. Instead the Packers were victorious again at Lambeau and finished the regular season 8-0 at home. The Lions drew within 30-20 with 1:45 left after Matthew Stafford connected with Theo Riddick for a 6-yard touchdown. But Riddick’s 2-point conversion run failed, Tramon Williams recovered the ensuing onside kick and Green Bay ran out the clock. Stafford finished 20 of 41 for 217 yards. The Lions head home at least with the comfort that they had clinched a playoff berth regardless of Sunday’s outcome — just the second playoff appearance since 2000. “We’re 11-5, and it’s a new season,” coach Jim Caldwell said. “None that stuff matters. We’ve got to look forward.”

ATLANTA — The Carolina Panthers’ big-play defense appears capable of making a difference in the playoffs — even for a team with a losing record. Roman Harper and Tre Boston returned interceptions for touchdowns and Carolina recorded six sacks, leading the Panthers to a 34-3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to win the woeful NFC South. Carolina (7-8-1) will host Arizona in a wild-card playoff game Saturday. The losing record didn’t keep the Panthers from celebrating their first back-to-back playoff seasons in franchise history. “It feels great,” Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart said. “I mean, it’s a blessing and you just have to cherish these moments right now. ... We just believed and played our hearts out and this is where we are.” The Panthers have won four straight, but still they are the first team to enter the playoffs with a losing record since 2010, when Seattle was 7-9. “The beautiful thing — record doesn’t matter,” coach Ron Rivera said. “That’s the best part.” Harper scored on a 31-yard return in the second quarter and Boston clinched the win with his 84-yard interception return late in the third quarter. A 33-yard fumble return by Thomas Davis set up another touchdown. “It was a great defensive effort,” Rivera said. The Panthers’ celebration began with their final timeout with 2:41 remaining. Quarterback Cam Newton lifted his arms toward Carolina fans who moved close to the field to claim seats vacated by Falcons fans. After the game, Newton answered fans who called his name by running back to the edge of the stands to give fans high-fives. Newton completed 10 of 16 passes for 114 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson in the first quarter. Newton also had a 4-yard scoring run. Stewart ran for 49 yards on 13 carries. The Panthers did not have a turnover. The Falcons (6-10) were booed as they finished their second straight losing season under embattled coach Mike Smith. Atlanta is 10-22 since falling to San Francisco in the 2012 NFC championship game.

Ravens headed for playoffs Cowboys 44, Redskins 17
Associated Press BALTIMORE — Baltimore earned a spot in the postseason Sunday, rallying to defeat the Cleveland Browns 20-10 while getting an assist halfway across the country. Down 10-3 in the fourth quarter, the Ravens kicked a field goal and then took the lead on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Torrey Smith with 7:33 left. Flacco’s 2-yard TD throw to Kamar Aiken clinched it. To reach the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years, Baltimore (10-6) needed to beat the Browns (7-9) and have San Diego lose in Kansas City. Precisely what happened.

GAME | Notebook
Offense
B-
The only reason the Seahawks trailed at halftime was two turnovers by the offense, which moved the ball, but killed two promising drives by giving the ball away. The second half, however, saw the offense get going with Seattle opening the third quarter with field goal drives of 56 and 42 yards, then scoring a touchdown on a 54-yard drive after an interception. There is room for improvement to be sure, but the second half was encouraging.
Defense
A
Another dominant performance for the Seahawks, who this time held the Rams to six points and 245 yards, including just 19 on the ground. Over their past six games, the Seahawks have allowed just 6.5 points and 202.2 yards per game, and as a result led the NFL in those stats for the season for the second year in a row. Most impressive in this outing were the three gamechanging turnovers in the second half: a Jordan Hill interception that led to a touchdown, a Bruce Irvin interception return for a touchdown, and an Earl Thomas forced fumble at the goal line that saved a touchdown.
Special teams
B+
It’s not that the Seahawks did anything great on special teams to earn a good grade, but rather what they didn’t do, which is give up a big play to the Rams, who are known for special teams trickery. Using the regular defense to discourage fake punts was a smart move, and the Seahawks were mistake free, if not great, other than a silly penalty on Ricardo Lockette. A bounce-back game for kicker Steven Hauschka was encouraging as well after three misses last week.
Coaching
A
Both in this game and this season, the Seahawks turned a shaky start into a dominant finish. And while a lot of the credit goes to the players on the field, head coach Pete Carroll and his coaching staff were a big part of it as well. After a tough first half in which the Seahawks were shut out, they made the necessary adjustments to get some offense going. And the defense did what it has been doing for over a month and overwhelmed the Rams. Also deserving of a bit of praise, the Seahawks committed just two penalties for 20 yards.

Kicker Hauschka bounces back By John Boyle Herald Writer
SEATTLE — Seattle’s NFC West clinching victory didn’t come down to a Steven Hauschka kick, but for a while it looked like it could, and had that been the case, both the Seahawks and their kicker would have been just fine with that scenario. Last week in Arizona, Seattle’s usually accurate kicker didn’t just have the first multiple-miss game of his career, he went 0 for 3 on field goal attempts. But in a low-scoring defensive battle, he made 42 and 45-yard field goals in the second half to bring the Seahawks back from a 6-0 deficit. “It was great to get back out there,” Hauschka said. “I was over it early in the week, but it felt good to just get back out there and play and move on.” “Great to see Hauschka,” added Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. “Hauschka had a really good week. The players really supported him. We talked about how he’d always come through for us. He could feel the support; he said that to the team when he had the opportunity. And he came through and banged the heck out of the football today. It was great.” Hauschka echoed what his coach said about his teammates, though he didn’t single anyone out, saying “I got a lot of support from key position players and even some young guys. It felt

10, and perhaps a second playoff game a week later, putting them on the same postseason path they used to reach last season’s Super Bowl. “We control home field throughout the playoffs and now everyone is going to have to come here,” said Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright. “And we know how hard it is for the opponents to come in here. We’re right here in our comfort zone where we’re at our best, we’ve got our fans here, and everything is just right.” “The real season has just started,” added linebacker Bruce Irvin. “We’re back (in the playoffs) where we want to be and now we just have to keep going.” Trailing 6-0 at halftime, Seattle’s defense shut out St. Louis over the final two periods while forcing three pivotal turnovers, including a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown by Irvin. An earlier interception by defensive tackle Jordan Hill had set up a go-ahead Seahawks touchdown, and a subsequent
really good and helped me get back on track.” Hauchka said his misses weren’t the result in technique issues, but that the change this week was, “just attacking the ball and hitting it with confidence.” As for last week’s three-miss game, Hauschka is ready to put that one behind him. “I had never had a game like that in my life,” he said. “It was very strange, it was shocking. But I feel great about how I kicked today and how I kicked all week, and I’m looking forward to helping the team in the playoffs.”
Lynch’s career highs There has been plenty of speculation about Marshawn Lynch’s future with the Seahawks, but at 28, which is considered an advanced age for running backs, he enjoyed one of the best seasons of his NFL career. Lynch finished Sunday’s game with 60 rushing yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and three catches for 36 yards, giving him 1,306 rushing yards for the season, the second most in his career behind the 1,590 he gained in 2012. Lynch’s 13 rushing touchdowns, 367 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns were all career highs.
Rookie receivers step up With receiver Jermaine Kearse sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Seahawks started two rookies when they opened in a three-receiver set, with Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood joining Doug Baldwin in the starting lineup. Richardson finished the game with 60 yards on five catches, including a 32-yarder that set up one field goal, and a big third-down catch to extend another scoring drive. Norwood caught two passes for 34 yards after being inac-
forced fumble for a touchback by safety Earl Thomas denied the Rams a potential fourth-quarter touchdown. Seattle’s offense, meanwhile, opened the second half with two field goals from place-kicker Steven Hauschka, then took advantage of a short field after Hill’s interception to go 54 yards in six plays, capped by a 9-yard Marshawn Lynch touchdown run that put the Seahawks on top to stay. Facing a six-point halftime deficit, “we just had to keep battling and to hang in there and to believe that we could get it done,” said Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. And the Seahawks got it done, Carroll went on, with a defense that has simply been superb over the season’s final six weeks. In beating San Francisco and Arizona twice, plus wins against Philadelphia and the Rams, Seattle has given up just 39 points, or an average of just 6.5 points a game. “It’s been an incredible run of defense that we’ve watched,” Carroll said. “The guys have just played so consistently and so solid, and to get the turnovers and turn the game around on the defensive side (against St.
tive for the previous two games. “They continue to do whatever we call on them to do,” Carroll said. “There has not been a place where you would look and say, ‘oh, these guys aren’t quite ready yet.’ They’ve made their plays. Paul had some terrific plays today, and the one ball up the sideline, it’s great to get him down the field. We’ve been trying and looking for that chance, and then he goes up and makes a great catch on a great throw. Those guys have just continued to step up.”
Tickets on sale Tuesday The Seahawks announced that tickets for their Jan. 10 playoff game will go on sale to the general public through Ticket Master on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Not many tickets will be available, however, because 98 percent of season ticket holder reserved their tickets, and members of the “Blue Pride” season ticket waiting list will be able to purchase tickets on Monday.
Juanita. Walters, who graduated two years ahead of Hekker, doesn’t recall if the two ever shared a field in high school. The two did catch up briefly after the game to talk about Hekker’s Bothell Cougars, who won a state title earlier this year.
Fearing the fake Having been burned by Rams’ trick plays in the past, the Seahawks did something a little different this time around. When St. Louis’ punt team took the field in situations in which a fake seemed even remotely feasible, the Seahawks sent their regular defense on the field, with Walters in to return the kick in place of free safety Earl Thomas. Those punts resulted in fair catches, as the defense on the field wasn’t the unit that specializes in blocking for a punt return.
Injuries
In what is almost certainly an NFL first, a punter kicked to a returner who played his high school football in the same Washington state conference. Rams punter Johnny Hekker, a Bothell High graduate, punted to Bryan Walters, who graduated from
Linebacker K.J. Wright left the game with a dislocated finger, but Carroll said Wright will “for sure” be back for Seattle’s divisional round game in two weeks. And if you’ve ever doubted that football players aren’t like most of us, consider that Wright said he had to have his hand stitched up because a bone was protruding from his finger, yet he tried to stay in the game. The status on two other injured players is less clear, Carroll said, but both safety Jeron Johnson, a key special teams player who dislocated his elbow, and defensive tackle Jordan Hill, who sprained a knee, appear to have a shot at getting back next week. “We’ll have to wait and see what that’s all about,” Carroll said. “The two weeks will really help… Fortunately (Johnson’s elbow) went back together there on the field, and that’s a good thing.” Hill, who stood at his locker conducting postgame interviews with an ice pack on his knee, told reporters “I feel good.”
Louis) is fitting.” Seattle needed some heroics in the second half after a lackluster first half. The Seahawks had six offensive possessions in the first two quarters with two ending on punts, two on turnovers (an interception by quarterback Russell Wilson and a Lynch fumble), one on downs and one as time ran out at halftime. But the Seahawks swung the game with field goals on their first two possessions of the third period, the Lynch TD on the third, and the Irvin touchdown on St. Louis’ ensuing possession. Later, Thomas’ forced fumble essentially thwarted any hopes the Rams had for a comeback. The victory completes a remarkable late-season surge by the Seahawks. After sputtering to a 3-3 start, Seattle won three games in a row, lost on the road to Kansas City, and then ran off six straight one-sided wins, including five against NFC West Division opponents. “It took us all year (to rise to the top),” Carroll said. “There was a time we were 3-3, and I think we said just five or six weeks ago that we were still three games out of the (division) lead. So to win the division today
and to be the NFC West champs is really a big deal. “And it’s a big deal because we get to play (at CenturyLink Field) in the playoffs. We have an opportunity, like we did last year, to bring it home to the (Seattle fans).” Through six games this season, “everyone counted us out,” said Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett. “But we just stayed true to what we believed. It’s easy to win games when you’re playing for each other and you’re not trying to do anything special. That’s how you win.” After a week off to rest and mend, the Seahawks will prepare to face the lower seed to emerge from next weekend’s first-round games — No. 5 Arizona at No. 4 Carolina and No. 6 Detroit at No. 3 Dallas. If Detroit wins, Seattle will host the Lions. If Dallas wins, the Seahawks will host the Arizona-Carolina winner. “Going into the playoffs, to have a bye week ... that’s huge,” Wilson said. “It allows us to rest up ... and most importantly we get to play at home again. We get to play in front of the best fans in the National Football League and the best fans in the world, and we’re going to need them as we have all year.”
2015 opponents set While the NFL won’t announce its 2015 schedule until next spring, the Seahawks’ opponents are now set. In addition to their games against the NFC West, the Seahawks will play the AFC North and NFC North teams, as well as the same-place finishers in the NFC South (Carolina) and NFC East (Dallas). Seattle’s home games will be against the NFC West, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Carolina, while the road games will be at the NFC West, plus Minnesota, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Dallas.

Seahawks’ D continues to make big plays By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks defense was pretty good through the first two quarters of Sunday’s game, yielding just six points to the visiting St. Louis Rams. But through the third and fourth quarters, Seattle’s defense was off-the-charts sensational. A 20-6 victory at CenturyLink Field was due in large part to some outstanding second-half defense by the Seahawks. Not only did the Seahawks hold St. Louis scoreless after halftime, they also scored a defensive touchdown on linebacker Bruce Irvin’s 49-yard interception return and gave the Seattle offense a short field after an interception by defensive tackle Jordan Hill. Capping the second-half defensive masterpiece was a fumble caused by free safety Earl Thomas midway through the fourth quarter. The diving
Thomas was able to knock the ball away from Rams running back Benny Cunningham just inches from the goal line, and the ball bounced into the end zone and then out of bounds for a touchback, giving Seattle possession at the 20-yard line. The play of Seattle’s defense in the second half “is another example of us battling to the end,” Irvin said. “You just have to keep fighting, keep battling, and hopefully good things will happen. “I don’t think I’ve been part of a group as connected as I am with these guys. It’s a brotherhood around here. I’ve said it every week and I’m going to keep saying it, right now we’re playing better than we did all last year. Guys are putting their egos to the side and are playing for one another, and you don’t (always) find that around the league. “Like (teammate) Mike Bennett said, we’ve got the best defense ever and I’m not going to go against him,” Irvin added with
a laugh. Seattle’s second-half defensive heroics began with a remarkable interception by Hill. On the first play of the fourth quarter, and with St. Louis driving in a 6-6 game, Rams quarterback Shaun Hill tried to abort a short passing play by throwing the ball to the turf. But he threw the ball near the feet of Jordan Hill, who made a falling catch and then rose to run for 8 yards. Even Shaun Hill was impressed. “Their guy made a crazy play on it,” he said. “He just made a great play.” Six plays later, the Seahawks took the lead for good on a 9-yard TD run by Marshawn Lynch. Two minutes after Lynch’s touchdown, Irvin’s TD return pushed Seattle’s lead to 20-6. Shaun Hill’s pass, intended for tight end Lance Kendricks, was popped into the air by Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner and caught by Irvin, who raced untouched down the sideline to
the end zone. “Bobby Wagner made a great play of stripping it,” Irvin said. “I wasn’t even looking at the ball, it just ended up in my hands. That’s a sign of me living right, baby.” Thomas’ subsequent play to force Cunningham’s fumble was no less impressive. The St. Louis player was extending the ball to the goal line, just inches away, when it was knocked free by Thomas. “That was an amazing play,” Wagner said. “They were an inch away from scoring a touchdown, and (Thomas) punches the ball out and causes a touchback. That kind of shows how great our defense is.” By giving up just six points in Sunday’s regular-season finale, Seattle’s defense led the NFL in fewest points allowed for the third straight season. And that, said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, “is frickin’ awesome. That’s a big-time accomplishment.” Seattle’s defense, which gave

safety Earl Thomas’ touchdown-saving forced fumble in the fourth quarter. When Cunningham caught a pass out of the backfield, it appeared he was going to reach the corner of the end zone to make it a one-score game. Only Cunningham wouldn’t score, just like the Arizona Cardinals wouldn’t hang onto a three-game lead over Seattle in the division race. And just like the Rams wouldn’t be able to hang onto a six-point halftime lead. With cornerback Byron Maxwell slowing Cunningham up just enough, Thomas had time to cover a crazy amount of ground — his specialty — and hack the ball out of Cunningham’s hand just inches before the ball crossed into the goal line. The ball rolled out of the end zone as Thomas and Cunningham rolled out of bounds, resulting in a touchback. And it all but assured the Seahawks of a victory and the home-field advantage that came with it. “That play is colossal,” cornerback Richard Sherman said. “That was a colossal play. Not that it determined the game, but it just showed who he is as a person, as a player. His effort, his unwavering commitment, his unwavering effort every play to the last inch, until there’s only an inch left. ... He wouldn’t give up if there’s a centimeter left. If there’s any energy in his body, he’s going to fight for it, and that’s what makes him who he is. He’s a fighter, he’s a grinder, he’s an outstanding tremendous player.” Sherman was describing one play and one player, but in a lot of ways he was describing what allowed the Seahawks to go from a team that at one point was 3-3, then 6-4, to one that finished the year

with six straight victories over a stretch of games that looked to be the most daunting part of their schedule. For all of the things Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll does well, his ability to get teams to finish well ranks at or near the top. And while last year was about sustained dominance with a few bumps in the road, this year’s team will again get to stay home in the postseason because they were able to overcome a little bit of adversity and finish with six straight victories. And just as the Seahawks overcame a
stunning trade (Percy Harvin) early in the season, a few uncharacteristic losses and a bit of locker-room turmoil to win their division, they also overcame some pretty poor play in the first half to win going away Sunday against the Rams. While the defense, which for the third straight year gave up the fewest points in the NFL — “That’s freakin’ awesome,” Carroll said — was dominant yet again, the offense was shut out for the first time in a first half since 2011 thanks to a pair of turnovers.
up 245 yards against the Rams, also allowed the fewest yards in the NFL for the second straight season. “It’s an outstanding defense,” said St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher. “What they have going here is special. You can’t hear on offense (at the line of scrimmage) ... and when you can’t hear on offense in this venue, it’s hard to do (much), especially against a defense like that.” Seattle’s defensive prowess is certainly encouraging as the team prepares for the upcoming playoffs. But as Wagner pointed out, “I definitely think we have some stuff to get better. We’re playing really, really good right now and we still have stuff to fix, but when we get those things right, (just think) how great our defense can be.” “Defense wins championships,” agreed linebacker K.J. Wright. “And if we play good (on defense in the playoffs), we should win.”
But once quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense got going in the second half, and when the defense forced three turnovers, one of them a touchdown, one of them setting up a touchdown and one of them preventing one, things got lopsided in a hurry. That’s what the Seahawks do best. They don’t always come out and light teams up from the start like a Peyton Manning-led offense might, but they wear an opponent down, beat on them with Marshawn Lynch- and Kam Chancellor-shaped hammers, then eventually impose their will in the second half. Over their six-game winning streak, the Seahawks have outscored their opponents by a modest 49-20 margin in first halves, then overwhelmed them in the second half by an 85-16 margin. “To win 20-0 in the second half, that was fitting,” Carroll said. “To finish the season, and be really strong here in December again, that’s something we take great pride in. Finishing is a big deal to us.” Wilson said after the game that right now he likes this year’s team “a little bit better” than last year’s because of the resilience they have showed. And in Sunday’s win, and on one play in particular, the Seahawks reminded both the Rams and anyone they might see in the playoffs that they are a team that finishes. “I don’t know if there’s a more fitting play for a guy than Earl knocking the ball out with a sliver of an inch from the goal line,” Carroll said. “... It’s just a great way to make that statement of how hard he plays this game and how tough of a competitor he is, and he never would let up.” Again, that was a statement about one play, but that one play made a statement about a team and an entire season.

Silvertips give up late lead again Herald staff KENNEWICK — The third-period yips caught the Everett Silvertips again Sunday evening. The Tri-City Americans scored twice in the third period as they came from behind to defeat the Tips 3-2. Everett had serious problems holding third-period leads during the final six weeks of the first half, often surrendering initiative to the opposition when holding a late lead. The Tips didn’t surrender the initiative this time, but the Americans used a good shift on the power play, then a good pass in transition to get the goals that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead. Justin Gutierrez scored the game-winning goal, and Parker Wotherspoon scored twice to lead Tri-City (18-16-0-1). Evan Sarthou played a solid game in net for the Americans, making 28 saves. Nikita Scherbak and Noah Juulsen scored for Everett (21-10-3-1).
Austin Lotz made 18 saves in net for the Tips. Everett entered the third period with a 2-1 lead. However, the Americans received a power play midway through the period, and they scored just as it expired. Tri-City held the puck in the offensive zone for a long stretch, and the tired Everett defenders couldn’t get to Wotherspoon as he scored from the right circle at 10 minutes, 22 seconds to tie the score. The Americans then took the lead with 6:03 remaining. Ty Comrie made a great pass in transition, finding Gutierrez all alone in front. Gutierrez scored past Lotz to give Tri-City a lead it wouldn’t surrender. Everett opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game. Defenseman Tristen Pfeifer, playing for the first time in since Nov. 26 because of an upper-body injury, kept the puck in the offensive zone, giving Brayden Low the chance to make a cross-crease feed for Scherbak to put away, making it 1-0 at 2:14.
Tri-City tied it on a great solo effort by Wotherspoon at 12:22. The defenseman picked up the puck in his own zone, slalomed his way up the ice, then wired a shot into the top corner to make it 1-1. The Tips regained the lead late in the second period. Ben Betker’s shot from the point went wide. However, the puck went off the back boards to Juulsen at the opposite point, and Juulsen’s shot just trickled past Sarthou to make it 2-1 at 16:10. Americans 3, Silvertips 2 Everett Vancouver

UW dealt season’s first defeat By TJ Cotterill The News Tribune
SEATTLE — The Washington Huskies men’s basketball team had one nonconference game left. It was against Stony Brook, at home, with a 12-0 record into Pac-12 play on the line. They led by 16 points in the second half. But once the Seawolves grabbed their first lead of the game, they didn’t let go, leaving the 13thranked Huskies stunned after a 62-57 loss. “Mentally, we weren’t there,” said UW coach Lorenzo Romar. “And with so much at stake, you wonder why not.” Robert Upshaw led the Huskies (11-1) with 11 points off the bench. Their starting backcourt — Nigel Williams-Goss and Andrew Andrews — combined to make 8 of 26 shots (31 percent). Jernard Jarreau made 1 of 6. The Huskies didn’t make a shot from the field the final 6:38 of the game. “We got to play hard for 48 minutes,” said Andrews, who finished with seven points. “We played hard only in spurts and that came back to bite us.” The Huskies were hoping to head to Cal (7 p.m., Friday, Pac-12 Networks) with their best start since 1975-76. Stony Brook (8-6) is favored to win the America East this year, but weren’t expected to contend with a hot Huskies squad coming off wins over then-13th-ranked San Diego St. and No. 15 Oklahoma among others. UW took a 47-31 lead with 14:36 to play in the second half, but Stony Brook slowly pulled its way back. The

Stony Brook’s Rayshaun McGrew (upper left) and Deshaun Thrower defend Washington’s Nigel Williams-Goss during the second half Sunday in Seattle. The Seawolves beat the Huskies 62-57 to end UW’s perfect start to the season.
Huskies surrendered open 3-pointer after open 3 in the second half, with Kameron Mitchell connecting on 4 of 5. Mitchell scored all of his 12 points from the 3-point line, and all off the bench. Jameel Warney, who had 15 points and eight rebounds, frequently found him from the post after Mitchell didn’t attempt a shot in the first half. His fourth 3 cut the Huskies’ lead to 55-52 with 3:51 left. “We didn’t do a good job of knowing where he was,” Romar said. “He was a guy we talked about. We talked
about that he had a slow release … but if he got it off he could knock it down. Unfortunately in the second half he got it off.” Mitchell finally missed — an open 3 in the corner — that would have tied it at 57, but the Huskies never ended their offensive funk. And Carson Puriefoy responded with a 3 tied it with 1:08 to play. Still, Washington matched the 2005-06 team with 11 consecutive wins to start the season. And looking back, Romar said he is still happy having gone 11-1 in nonconference play.
Zags to be tested at USD By Jim Meehan
WSU tops UC Davis
The Spokesman-Review
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Gonzaga junior forward Kyle Wiltjer figures Saturday’s hardfought road win over BYU came along at just the right time. “We had a little adversity, we were down a little bit and it just shows how tough we are and that we were able to play in a close game,” said Wiltjer, who scored 24 points in the 87-80 win. “I think it was the kind of game we needed just to figure out our identity, what plays we are going to go to and just staying positive when things weren’t going well.” Two of the Zags’ 12 wins have been by double figures but chances are they’ll face a stern test against San Diego, which seems to play Gonzaga tough, particularly at the Jenny Craig Pavilion. Gonzaga (12-1, 1-0 WCC), winners of five straight, and the Toreros (7-6, 0-1) tip off at 8 tonight. This game figures to look a lot different than Saturday’s shootout in Provo. San Diego is defensiveminded and plays lower possession games than the fast-paced Cougars. “They just stay in games literally with everybody,”
PULLMAN — DaVonte Lacy led four Washington State players in double figures with 22 points in a 90-83 victory over UC Davis on Sunday. Josh Hawkinson had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Cougars, who evened their record at 6-6 heading into Pac-12 Conference play. Que Johnson added 14 points, and Jordan Railey had 12. Corey Hawkins led UC Davis (9-2) with 29 points, six rebounds, six assists and five steals. The Aggies trailed by double figures most of the game after missing 13 of their first 16 shots. The Cougars sank 11 of their first 19 shots, including 7 of 9 from 3-point range, to lead 30-8 after 13 minutes. UC Davis, ranked 12th nationally in field goal percentage through Saturday, finished strong in both halves to shoot 55.9 percent (56.3 on 3-pointers). WSU hit 54.4 percent, including 11 of 19 from 3-point range.

Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer shoots against Brigham Young. The Kentucky transfer leads the Bulldogs against San Diego tonight.
GU coach Mark Few said. “The NAIA team (San Diego Christian) they beat (Dec. 21) was a 10-point game. They always try something with us, where they refuse to guard certain people.” That might not be as easy this season against a more versatile, balanced Gonzaga lineup. Still, coach Bill Grier, the former Gonzaga assistant, has guided a couple of upsets over the Zags and pushed them to the final buzzer several times in his seven years with the Toreros. USD had won three straight before falling to Portland 61-58 on Saturday. The Pilots scored the last nine points, capped by
Alec Wintering’s 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left. Senior guards Johnny Dee (18.8 points, 44 percent on 3-pointers) and Christopher Anderson (9.3 points, 40.5 percent on 3s, 21 steals) lead the Toreros. Chris Sarbaugh, a GU walk-on in 2011 and former North Idaho College Cardinal, averages 4.2 points. He’s made 6 of 7 3-point attempts. University High product Brett Bailey averages 3.1 points and 3.8 rebounds. “They don’t get up and down as much (as BYU),” Zags guard Gary Bell Jr. said. “They run a lot of pindowns so we have to guard off the ball a lot better than we did (Saturday).”
