winters on record. Weather readings taken at the Darrington Ranger Station for 180 days prior to March 22 showed that the period was wetter than 91 percent of similar periods in the past, going back 86 years, the USGS report said. Iverson and his coauthors relied on a number of tools and methods. These included comparing Oso to other highmobility landslides around the world, lidar and GIS mapping data of the area both before and after the slide and seismic measurements from 18 networked regional monitoring stations.

SNOHOMISH — The Kleins were happy to move their family from Everett to Snohomish about four years ago. The small-town feel reminded Rustin Klein of where he grew up in Arizona. His wife, Yvette, always wanted to live there, even as a little girl. A brutal attack on their sons in the summer of 2013 has changed how they see the town, at least for now. Rustin Klein says he believes the crime was a one-time situation. It’s harder for his wife to see beyond what happened to her boys. “I’m not there yet,” she said. “I’m trying to trust Snohomish again as a quiet, little community.” The Kleins and their youngest son were in court on Monday when the primary suspect Tristan Smith was sentenced to eight years in prison. After lengthy negotiations, Smith, a convicted felon, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree assault while armed with a knife. Prosecutors agreed to drop a more serious first-degree assault charge in exchange for the plea and an exceptional sentence beyond the standard range. “What made this case challenging was it was crime without a motive,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson said.

Water and mud back up on the east side of Oso the day after the March 22 mudslide. A U.S. Geological Survey study says the amount of water in the soil from one of the wettest winters on record gave the slide its unusual mobility, which led to far greater destruction.

A study finds saturated soil increased the slide’s magnitude By Chris Winters Herald Writer

OSO — If the slope that collapsed during the deadly Oso mudslide had been slightly drier, it probably wouldn’t have caused anywhere near as much damage. A new report published Jan. 8, written by U.S. Geological Survey scientists, says the amount of water in the soil is what gave the slide its power and violence. The slide flowed down and across the North Fork Stillaguamish River valley. It wiped out a neighborhood and killed 43 people. Liquefaction, a process in

which compression of the saturated soil causes it to lose its coherence and flow like a liquid, gave the slide its unusual mobility. Most significantly, mathematical modeling showed that had the soil been slightly less saturated, the base of the slide might not have liquefied at all, and the runout would not have inflicted anywhere near as much damage to property and lives. “That is the big takeaway, that the mobility of the landslide was very large, not necessarily unprecedented, but very large,” said Richard Iverson, the lead author of the report and a senior research hydrologist at

the USGS’s Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver. “The model results indicate that, for example, had the water content been about 5 percent smaller, that it might have been far less mobile,” Iverson said. “That alternative case we simulated only travels about 100 meters. In that case the landslide would have crossed the river but wouldn’t have done much more than that,” he added. That would have been similar to other slides at that location in modern times, including the most-recent in 2006. The Oso slide occurred on what was a relatively dry day at the end of one of the wettest

OLYMPIA — As a new legislative session began Monday, Snohomish County’s delegation expressed bipartisan support for a transportation package in some form and money for Washington State University in Everett.

Lawmakers also hope to see the state provide better services for those in the county who have a mental illness, to improve the state’s ability to detect and map landslide hazards, and to lock up money for projects in communities affected by the Oso mudslide. Those are the issues that seemed to unite county

don’t do something,” said Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor. “But we need to make sure every dollar we spend in transportation is actually mitigating the problems we have.” There’s concern that the proposal put forth by Gov. Jay Inslee in December was hundreds of millions of dollars shy of what lawmakers think Snohomish County deserves. The governor’s 12-year, $12.2 billion transportation package contained only $81.8 million for road projects in the county. “We’re going to try to get

our fair share,” said Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Transportation Committee. Lawmakers are backing a request from Washington State University for $61.1 million to build a four-story structure in north Everett that would be the new home for the WSU-run University Center. They also want to see as much as $4.5 million earmarked for WSU to offer additional courses at the center. “We need to expand the degree programs there and begin to look at serving more of the community, especially in the 10th District,” said Bailey, who is chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee.

Several lawmakers are pushing to get $1.6 million to renovate the Carnegie building next to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. They propose a place where low-level offenders who are homeless can live and obtain mental health and substance abuse treatment and job training. “It should help break the cycle of recidivism,” said Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett. Without blinking, every lawmaker wants to invest in expanding the state’s use of remote sensing technology known as lidar to map areas of landslide hazards. And they expect ample funding for community projects where the tragic March 22 mudslide left its mark.

Several statewide concerns are also local concerns. For example, this session lawmakers are expected to give public schools an injection of $750 million — and maybe more — to satisfy an order by the state Supreme Court. “Our schools are stretched and overloaded, just like other schools,” said Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish. State Rep. Ruth Kagi, D-Seattle, who represents south Snohomish County, will be focused on getting additional dollars into early childhood education and to create “a high quality network of early learning services.” Kagi also might sponsor a bill requiring safe storage

of weapons. It would hold adults responsible if a child gets hold of a weapon and then harms another person, accidentally or intentionally, or takes their own life. Another statewide issue with strong local interest is harmonizing the rules for medical marijuana dispensaries and the fledgling, state-regulated recreational marijuana industry. “That’s a problem that needs to be solved,” said Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, whose district includes the Clearview area, where several dispensaries operate. “We need to preserve access to medical marijuana, but we need a unified system.” Jerry Cornfield: 360-3528623; jcornfield@heraldnet. com.

Senate vote requires higher threshold for new taxes By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The Senate took quick action Monday at the start of the newest legislative session, approving a rule change that would make it harder for that chamber to take action on new taxes. The rule change, filed by Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler of Ritzville, would require a two-thirds vote of the Senate before any bill that creates a new tax can advance to the chamber floor for a final vote. It’s less sweeping than a plan proposed last week by fellow Republican Sens. Doug Ericksen and Michael Baumgartner, who were seeking that higher threshold for all tax bills. In 2013, the Washington Supreme Court struck down an initiative-passed law requiring the legislative supermajority for tax hikes. But the lawmakers say each chamber is allowed to adopt its own procedural rules.

“The Supreme Court can make their rules in their chamber, we’ll make our rules here,” Baumgartner said. Baumgartner said that while he would have liked to have seen the more expansive rule approved, he was happy with the compromise. He noted that voters had previously voted for initiatives requiring a twothirds requirement on taxes for the entire Legislature. “It doesn’t mean taxes are impossible, it means they want them as the last resort,” he said. In addition to writing a two-year state budget, lawmakers this session are tasked with addressing education funding in the state after the state Supreme Court found them in contempt last September for their lack progress on that issue. Currently, a measure passes when 25 of the Senate’s 49 members approve it. The rule change will apply only to new taxes

being considered by the chamber by requiring twothirds — or 33 — votes before final passage. Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, noted that the rule would not apply to bills dealing with increasing current taxes, like the gas tax, or efforts to remove tax exemptions. Democrats tried to pass an amendment that would have required a two thirds vote to change the rules, but were rejected. “We have so many significant challenges facing our state right now. We have a constitutional and moral obligation to fund education. We have a transportation crisis that demands our attention and many other challenges,” said Sen. Andy Billig, D-Spokane. “This set of rules is a recipe for gridlock. Under the rule change, if a referendum clause that requires a public vote is attached to the bill, only a simple majority vote of 25 votes would be required.

“It certainly limits our ability to look at options when it comes to revenue solutions,” said House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan. “When you limit those options, it makes it more difficult to get our job done.” State revenues are expected to grow by nearly $3 billion over the next two years, but Democrats and Gov. Jay Inslee have said that’s not enough to address court-ordered obligations like education funding and to pay for things like teacher and state worker raises. Republicans say the improving economy and current incoming revenues should be enough, as long as lawmakers prioritize spending. Inslee’s budget plan proposes a 7 percent capital gains tax on earnings from the sale of stocks, bonds and other assets above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for joint filers that he says would bring in almost $800 million. He

also says a proposed levy on carbon polluters would raise $380 million and a 50-cent per pack cigarette tax as well as a levy on e-cigarettes and vapor product would raise $56 million. The rule change passed by the Senate does not affect voting procedures in the House, which has its own rules and where Democrats hold a slim minority. Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, and as in the past, Democratic Sen. Tim Sheldon will continue to caucus with them. In one of the surprises of the opening events Monday, Republicans were overruled by Democrats in choosing who would serve as Senate Pro Tempore. Most Republicans supported Sheldon for that position, however all Democrats voted for Republican Sen. Pam Roach of Auburn. Roach voted for herself, as did Republican Sen. Don Benton, and Roach was sworn into the position.

Judge to decide verdict in murder trial The Bothell defendant, accused of killing his wife, gave no explanation for his decision to avoid a jury. By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Bothell man accused of fatally beating, stabbing and drowning his estranged wife in 2013 has decided to let a judge decide his fate. Jury selection for Alan Smith’s first-degree murder trial had been scheduled to begin this week.

On Monday morning, his lawyer told Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Linda Krese that Smith instead wants a bench trial. That means only the judge will weigh the evidence and reach a verdict in the case. Deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said he still plans to present the same case, and he expects the trial will last roughly three weeks.

Witnesses are scheduled to begin testifying Thursday. Smith, 39, is accused of attacking his estranged wife, Susann Smith, 37, inside her Bothell house in February 2013. Her body was found in the bathtub. Prosecutors allege a washcloth found under Susann Smith’s body contained the defendant’s DNA. Bloody footprints also reportedly were matched to his feet. The Smiths were getting divorced and battling for custody

of their two young children. Although detectives found evidence they contend showed Smith carefully planned the kill- Alan Smith ing, he reportedly buckled under the strain of the investigation. He was arrested after he allegedly told an acquaintance he’d met at church that he killed his wife. At the time, Smith was the focus

Eagle festival takes flight Feb. 6 By Kari Bray Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — The eighth annual Eagle Festival here is expected to be the largest yet, adding new events around the Stillaguamish Valley. The festival is scheduled for the first weekend in February. Dozens of activities, contests and exhibits are in the works. Events kick off Feb. 6, and continue through Feb. 7. Arlington’s celebration comes after a month of eagle-themed festivities in nearby Skagit County. Eagles migrate south from Alaska and Canada in the winter, and many gather along area rivers. January and February good months to spot them in Washington. The festival includes indoor and outdoor attractions, from rafting on the Stillaguamish River to poetry and art contests. Local businesses help with supplies, food and entertainment. The festival costs the city about $5,500 from its hotel and motel tax fund. “It’s a family-friendly event focused on nature and animals,” city recreation manager Sarah Lopez said. “It’s a chance to get out in nature and view the birds, or have a close encounter.” The most popular activities are guided bird-watching trips or raptor shows with close-up birds of prey, Lopez said. There are several bird-watching options between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. that Saturday: a tour of the Port Susan Nature Preserve at the end of Boe Road in Stanwood; a walk-through of Arlington’s stormwater wetland at Haller Park, 1100 West.

Pet wallaby missing near Arlington ARLINGTON — The owner of a lost wallaby is asking people to keep an eye out for her family’s short, sweet and skittish friend. Bella, a 6-year-old Bennett’s wallaby, has been missing since Friday afternoon. She was last seen around noon crossing Highway 530 near the Outback Kangaroo Farm, 10030 Highway 530. She is about 2½ feet tall and weighs 35 pounds, with golden brown fur and a white belly. Owner Gayle Van Alstyne of Maple Valley was taking Bella and two other wallabies she keeps as pets to the kangaroo farm for temporary housing. She’s cared for Bella most of the wallaby’s life, nursing her back to health during a lengthy illness and providing a home for Bella and the other two wallabies. They made it safely to the farm,

Neighbors complained to police that Smith and Thai engaged in sex on the lawn. The pair gave television interviews and Thai posted regular updates about the case on Facebook. She also turned to social

Friends and neighbors helped track her to the Stillaguamish River, where feet and tail impressions along the bank suggested she was heading toward downtown Arlington. “We don’t know, after that, what happened,” Van Alstyne said. “We searched and searched and searched. I’ve called every wildlife sanctuary or rescue I can think of.” Bella is part of a licensed petting zoo Van Alstyne has been running in Maple Valley. “It’s named after her — Bella’s Barn — because she fought so hard to live (when she was sick),” Van Alstyne said. “I’m not willing to give up hope yet, but if it starts to freeze, it’s going to be really

EVERETT — Some Snohomish County leaders pressed Monday for an urgent solution to the parking impasse threatening to hold up, or even scuttle, new courthouse construction. Also lingering were questions about how lines of communication got so mixed up between the county and the city of Everett. The city wants the new courthouse to include more than 300 parking spaces — roughly 10 times what the county included in its designs. City council members passed an emergency ordinance on Christmas Eve to block construction until parking needs are met. Now it’s unclear whether the project could break ground by mid-year, as scheduled. Any delay could compound financial troubles. “The longer we spend in suspended animation, the more our costs go up potentially on construction,” County Council Chairman Dave Somers said during an update meeting. Executive John Lovick told council members, “there is no easy solution here” and suggested the county could partner with the city on building a parking garage. The County Council wants weekly updates until there’s a resolution. “If we can’t find a solution that works for the county and the city that’s not too expensive, I think the project is in deep trouble,” Somers said after Monday’s meeting. Complying with the city’s parking demands could add up to $45 million in costs, county facilities director Mark Thunberg said. There’s already no wiggle room in the project’s $162 million budget. “The only way to get those dollars is to start taking floors out,” Thunberg said. And that, noted County Councilman Terry Ryan, “almost defeats the purpose of the whole thing.” Ryan, like the executive, said he’s optimistic about finding common ground with the city. “I think if you just put some good will into it and some time into it, we can come to some sort of agreement,” he said.

Chief Gary Meek said. “We’re moving forward with it,” he said. The district plans to close two existing stations to open the new one at 19424 Fales Road. Construction could start later this year. Burn ban canceled: The burn

ban for Darrington was canceled Tuesday because of a changing forecast.

media to announce that she was pregnant with Alan Smith’s child. Thai later gave birth and put the child up for adoption. She hanged herself in April. Krese has been ruling on pre-trial motions in the case for months and is aware of the unusual history. For example, in December, she agreed with Smith’s attorneys that jurors should not be told that some of Smith’s coworkers at Boeing considered him strange and had nicknamed him “Creepy Alan.” Smith’s lawyer, Caroline Mann, did not immediately respond to questions about Smith’s reasons for deciding to seek a bench trial instead of taking the case before a jury.

During his presentation, Thunberg emphasized the new building would replace the county’s existing 1967 courthouse. Once the new building goes up, the county would demolish the old building, which suffers from poor layout for security, substandard earthquake readiness and chronic maintenance issues. In theory, the new courthouse would create no new parking demands.

Draft ‘fish-consumption’ water rule released Associated Press

prevent water pollution. The draft, known as the “fish-consumption rule,” was released Monday, after two years of debate that pitted tribes and environmental groups against businesses and municipalities over the issue of how clean state waters should be. Federal law requires rivers and other water bodies

to be clean enough so people can safely swim and eat fish from those waters. Monday’s proposed rule dramatically raises the current fish-consumption rate to 175 grams a day, which would protect people who eat about a serving of fish a day. Tribes and conservation groups have criticized the governor’s proposal

as not protective enough. Meanwhile, businesses have worried that too-strict rules will hurt economic development. The state is under pressure to finalize a rule by this year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which must approve any state plan, also is coming up a plan for Washington in case the state fails to do so.

As part of his plan to improve water quality, Inslee is seeking support for new legislation aimed at reducing toxic pollution at its source, before it enters state waters. Under the proposal, Ecology would identify chemicals that are most problematic and ban their use if safer alternatives are found.

Center plans an open house Feb. 7 where people can learn about raptors. Volunteers with the animal rescue and rehabilitation program plan to have a bald eagle, golden eagle, red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon and possibly two owls in the Arlington City Council Chambers, 110 E. Third St., from noon to 4 p.m. that festival Saturday. “Raptors are individuals, kind of like people, with

their own personalities and fears,” said Kestrel Skyhawk, education director for Sarvey. “They’re always going to be wild animals. They can’t ever really be tamed ... so to get this close is really a great opportunity.” The birds are rescues that couldn’t be released back into the wild due to physical and other problems, she said. While bird-watching and raptor meet-and-greets

are staples at the festival, new events are planned in Darrington. Darrington Strong, Inc., is coordinating a scavenger hunt through the town’s businesses and an art and photography show at the community center, 570 Sauk Ave. There will also be horseback riding on the Whitehorse Trail, a tour of Fortson Mill off Highway 530, a three-mile run on the Old Sauk River Trail, crafts

at the Darrington Library and poetry at Mountain Loop Books and Coffee, 1085 Darrington St. It’s the area’s last large festival until the spring, Lopez said. “There’s a lot of fun stuff to do,” she said. “I would encourage people to do the Darrington events, especially if they’ve been before in Arlington.” Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com

However, the footprint would take out more than 130 surface parking spaces across the street from Xfinity Arena. The lot and six parcels condemned for construction are on Wall Street, between Rockefeller and Oakes avenues. The city’s emergency ordinance is based on a formula of one space per 800 square feet in the new building. Until that change, building rules for downtown Everett would have required no additional parking for the courthouse. Current designs for the future building include only about 30 spaces. Lovick’s administration

contends the city’s demand came out of nowhere. “It has been communicated to the city on numerous occasions that the new courthouse is a replacement building,” Thunberg said. “Throughout these discussions, city representatives expressed no need for the county to provide additional parking.” Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson says he and others at the city were under a totally different impression — that much more parking was part of the plan. They only learned otherwise from Deputy Executive Mark

Ericks this fall. “The county indicated on many occasions throughout this process that the final project plans would include at least 300 parking spaces,” Everett spokeswoman Megan Pembroke said. “When the city learned in November that was no longer the case, staff looked at available options and ultimately council approved the emergency ordinance requiring additional parking.” City staff also are revisiting a 2002 agreement related to the construction of the county jail and new administration building.

It spelled out specific requirements for off-street parking. Pembroke said it’s unclear whether the county has met those earlier requirements. The county has spent about $6.9 million so far on courthouse design and related work, Thunberg said. The county took out bonds to pay for the project and raised property taxes. The cost is about $20 per year for the owner of a house assessed at $223,000.

Judy Williams (Rand) (Ross)

June 9, 1938-Dec. 27, 2014

Judy passed away peace-

fully in her sleep December 27, 2014. She was 76 years old, but a very young, special lady. Judy had Parkinson’s and it developed into Dementia. This did not stop her. Judy is survived by her husband, Dick Williams; her two daughters, Shelley Calia and Connie Bowman, and son, Joe Jr Ross; her sister, Phyllis Rogers of Everett; brothers, Rick Unruh of Ellensburg and Tony Unruh of Marysville; as well as numerous other family members. Judy wrote most of this obit some years ago about herself: I leave this life on earth as we all know it to go into the unknown. My first thought is from an article I found; “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one h a n d , l a t te i n t h e o t h e r, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, “Woo Hoo, what a ride !!!!” Yes, I have lived my life with many twists and turns. I was born on June 9, 1938 in Kellogg, Idaho to Kenneth and Marie (Traut) Rand. In the eyes of a child, my life was good. I attended schools in both Kellogg and Everett, Wash. Like any other family, we had our good times and bad times; life is what we make it. I h o p e to m e e t u p w i t h those who preceded me in death, my mother, Marie, my father, Pee Wee and all of my ancestors. I want those ancestors to know how hard I have worked over the past 20 years, to find them in my genealogy pursuit. While here on earth, I have been a shy, quiet child. With the many moves we made, it was hard to make new friends, but I managed. Over t h e ye a r s , I ex p e r i e n c e d some wonderful times; such as being a cheerleader in my senior year at Everett High School; running Bloomsday twenty years in a row and making a quilt that indicates those runs at Bloomsday. I was involved with the Lilac Association in Spokane for three years; two years as a chaperone and one year as a member working on various committees. I also worked as a volunteer at the Christmas Bureau for many years. In 1960 I married Joe Ro s s . We h a d t h r e e c h i l dren, Shelley (Butler, Calia), J o e J r. Ro s s , a n d C o n n i e (Bowman). Af ter 25 years, we divorced. I remained single for the next 15 years, and that’s when I met Dick Williams. We married in June of 1998 and spent our ret i r e m e n t ye a r s t r ave l i n g , jeeping, and ever y four years, debating with each other over politics. With our families combined, we had six adult children and 11 grandchildren, and I have five great-grandsons and two great grand-daughters. I wo r ke d m o s t o f t h o s e years for Safeco Insurance and the Department of Welfare and Corrections. I will miss many of those who I knew throughout the years. I thank God for my time on earth and hope I gave something back. I look forward to meeting my ancestors. I will miss my family here on ear th and will follow their lives as they live on.

Hackers hit U.S. military accounts

ACROSS THE U.S.

Albuquerque cops face murder charges

Islamic State ties are claimed by the attackers; U.S. officials say no secrets were compromised. By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hackers claiming to work on behalf of Islamic State militants seized control of the Twitter and YouTube sites of the military’s U.S. Central Command on Monday. The Pentagon swiftly suspended the sites and said it appears that no classified material was breached. The hacker group, which calls itself CyberCaliphate, appears to be the same one that is under FBI investigation for hijacking the websites or Twitter feeds of media outlets in the last month, including a Maryland television station and a New Mexico newspaper. Defense officials said Monday that they have been in contact with the FBI, and that the previous breaches by the group raises questions about whether the hackers have any real connection to the Islamic State militants that are under U.S. and coalition attack in Iraq and Syria. FBI spokesman Joshua Campbell said the bureau is investigating the Central Command Twitter and YouTube breaches and is working with the Pentagon to determine the scope of the incident. The Central Command Twitter site was filled with threats that said “American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back.” Other postings appeared to list names, phone numbers and personal email addresses of military personnel as well as PowerPoint slides and maps. Most of the material was labeled “FOUO,” which means “For Official Use Only,” but none of it appeared to be classified or sensitive information, suggesting the hackers did not breach classified material. U.S. Central Command said that none of the information and documents posted on the hacked site were from the command’s Internet servers or social media sites. The breach only affected the Twitter and YouTube sites, which reside on commercial, non-Defense Department Internet servers. U.S. Central Command said its operational and military networks were not compromised, but officials are notifying law enforcement about the possible release of personal information that was posted on the Twitter site. One of the documents appeared to be slides developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory, a federally funded research and development center focused on national security. The slides appeared to depict what it called “scenarios” for conflict with North Korea and China. It’s not clear where the documents came from or how long ago they might have been taken, since some of the information was as much as a year old. “This is little more than a prank or vandalism. It’s inconvenient and it’s an annoyance. But that’s all it is,” said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. “It in no way compromises our operations in any way shape or form.”

Up to 6 terror suspects could still be at large By Jamey Keaten Associated Press

PARIS — As many as six members of a terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks may still be at large, including a man who was seen driving a car registered to the widow of one of the gunmen, French police said Monday. The disclosure came as France deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites — including Jewish schools and neighborhoods — in the wake of the attacks that killed 17 people last week. Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi and their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, were killed Friday by police after a murderous spree at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. The three all claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East. Two police officials told The Associated Press that authorities were searching the Paris area for the Mini Cooper registered to Hayat Boumeddiene, Coulibaly’s widow. Turkish officials say she is now in Syria. One of the police officials said the cell consisted of about 10 members, and that “five or six could still be at large,” but he did not provide their names. The other official said the cell was made up of about eight people and included Boumeddiene. One of the other men believed to be part of the cell has been seen driving Boumeddiene’s car around Paris in recent days, the two officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation with the media. They cautioned that it was not clear whether the driver was an operative, involved in logistics, or had some other, lessviolent role in the cell. An Interior Ministry official declined to comment

Tearful Muhammad appears on cover of next Charlie Hebdo issue The cover of Charlie Hebdo’s next issue, due out Wednesday, will have a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad crying and holding an “I am Charlie” sign under the headline “All is forgiven.” The image was published online Monday by the French daily Liberation. Charlie Hebdo staffers are working in Liberation’s offices. Los Angeles Times

on an ongoing investigation, and a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office was not immediately available for comment. One of the police officials also said Coulibaly apparently set off a car bomb Thursday in the town of Villejuif, but no one was injured and it did not receive significant media attention at the time. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the manhunt is urgent because “the threat is still present” from the attacks. The nationwide deployment of troops would be completed by Tuesday and would focus on the most sensitive locations, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said. By midday Monday, soldiers and police filled Paris’ Marais district — one of the country’s oldest Jewish neighborhoods. About 4,700 of the security forces would be assigned to protect France’s 717 Jewish schools, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said. The attacks began Wednesday with 12 people killed at the publication Charlie Hebdo, which had lampooned Islam and other religions, by gunmen the police identified as the Kouachi brothers. Police have said, however, that the attack was carried out by three people. Authorities said Coulibaly killed a policewoman Thursday and then killed four people at the kosher market Friday before

he was slain by police. Video emerged Sunday of Coulibaly explaining how the attacks in Paris would unfold. French police want to find the person or persons who shot and posted the video, which was edited after Friday’s attacks. Boumeddiene was seen traveling through Turkey with a male companion before reportedly arriving in Syria with him on Jan. 8 — the day after the Charlie Hebdo attack and the same day Coulibaly began his murderous spree by killing the policewoman. According to security camera video shown Monday by Turkey’s Haberturk newspaper, Boumeddiene arrived Jan. 2 at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport. A high-ranking Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the woman on the video was Boumeddiene. Turkish intelligence then tracked Boumeddiene from her arrival. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told the state-run Anadolu Agency that she had stayed at a hotel in Istanbul with another person before crossing into Syria on Thursday. She and her traveling companion, a 23-year-old man identified as Mehdy Sabry Belhoucine, toured Istanbul before leaving Jan. 4 for a town near the Turkish border, according to a Turkish intelligence officia. Little was known about Belhoucine.

White House: We blew it on Paris rally McClatchy Washington Bureau WASHINGTON — Under fire for seemingly snubbing one of its closest allies, the White House conceded Monday that it should have sent a high-ranking U.S. official to Paris over the weekend to demonstrate U.S. support in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks. White House press secretary Josh Earnest admitted the mistake, siding with critics who assailed President Barack Obama for not attending the rally or sending a high-ranking representative such as Vice President Joe Biden in his stead. “It’s fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there,” Earnest said at the White House daily news briefing. Earnest noted that sending a “high-level, highly visible” senior administration official would have demonstrated “that the American people stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies in France.” He said there should be “no doubting” U.S. support for France, noting that Obama had offered assistance to President Francois Hollande during a call immediately after the

attacks and that the U.S. and France were cooperating on counterterrorism measures. While as many as 2 million people marched through the streets of Paris in a show of unity and defiance, about 50 world leaders marched with Hollande. Although U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Alejandro Mayorkas, the deputy secretary of homeland security, were in Paris for meetings with French officials, only the U.S. ambassador to France, Jane Hartley, joined the demonstration. Earnest refused to provide any details on who had made the decision not to send a higher-ranking official, but said it was the White House’s responsibility. He did say he thought that Obama “himself would have liked to have had the opportunity to be there,” but noted that planning for the event began only Friday and the security arrangements for a presidential visit would have been considerable. “I’m confident that the professionals at the Secret Service could overcome those challenges, but it would have been very difficult to do so without significantly impacting the ability of common citizens to participate in this march,” Earnest said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Two Albuquerque police officers were charged with murder Monday in the shooting death of a knife-wielding homeless man that led to sometimes violent protests and a federal investigation into the city’s police force. The Albuquerque district attorney said she would bypass the grand jury process and instead present the murder case to a judge at a preliminary hearing that will be open to the public. Police said SWAT team member Dominique Perez and former detective Keith Sandy fatally shot James Boyd, a mentally ill homeless man who had frequent violent run-ins with law enforcement. Video from an officer’s helmet camera showed Boyd appearing to surrender when officers opened fire, but a defense lawyer characterized him as an unstable suspect who was “unpredictably and dangerously close to a defenseless officer while he was wielding two knives.”

D.C.: Paul Ryan rules out 2016 presidential run Republican Rep. Paul Ryan announced Monday that he will not run for president in 2016, instead focusing on his work as chairman of a powerful tax-writing committee in Congress. Ryan, of Wisconsin, was the Republican candidate for vice president in 2012. There had been much speculation about his ambitions for 2016. But with the start of the new Congress last week, Ryan became chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over taxes, trade, Social Security and health care.

S.D.: Same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional A federal judge on Monday found South Dakota’s voter-approved samesex marriage ban to be unconstitutional, the latest in a string of marriage bans to fall nationwide. U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier stayed her ruling until an undisclosed date, probably waiting for an inevitable appeals process to play out.

SpaceX ship resupplies International Space Station About 5,000 pounds of muchneeded supplies, from groceries to scientific experiments, reached the International Space Station early Monday after months of delays, including a failed launch in October that exploded shortly after taking off. SpaceX’s Dragon capsule docked at the space station, where it will remain for about a month before returning to Earth. Astronauts aboard the space station were eager for the haul, since they had been getting low on supplies.

AROUND THE WORLD Egypt: 26 men acquitted in trial over police raid on gays An Egyptian court on Monday acquitted 26 men arrested in a televised raid last month by police looking for gays at a Cairo public bathhouse, a ruling that set off deafening cheers and jubilation inside the courtroom as some of the defendants uncovered their faces and wept openly in relief. Others, however, kept their faces hidden behind jacket hoods and scarves, still traumatized by the humiliation they and their families had endured during the highly publicized case, which caught the public’s attention after a pro-government TV network aired scenes of half-naked men being pulled from the bathhouse by police during the Dec. 7 raid.

Indonesia: Divers retrieve 2nd black box from plane Divers have retrieved the crashed AirAsia plane’s second black box from the bottom of the Java Sea, giving investigators the essential tools they need to start piecing together what brought Flight 8501 down. Transportation Ministry official Tonny Budiono said the trapped cockpit voice recorder was freed from beneath the wing’s heavy ruins early Tuesday from a depth of about 100 feet, a day after the aircraft’s flight data recorder was recovered. It will be flown to the capital, Jakarta, to be downloaded and analyzed with the other box. From Herald news services

WSU looks to create a ‘gem’ University seeks $61.1M to build new academic center in Everett By Jim Davis Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — It’s the top capital priority for Washington State University in the legislative session that starts today: A $61.1 million academic center in north Everett. The four-story, 95,000-squarefoot structure would be the new home for the University Center and a lasting, physical presence for WSU in the community. “I think the building we’re planning is really going to be a gem in the community,” said Paul Pitre, dean of WSU North Puget Sound. It would also serve as a concrete commitment for the community, which has been pursuing a four-year, research university for decades, said Bob Drewel, interim chancellor for WSU North Puget Sound. “That transcends hope,” Drewel said. “That’s reality.” Add on a $4.5 million request to expand programs in Everett and it makes for an important legislative session for both WSU and the region. It will be a difficult session, because the Legislature is already looking for more money to pay for K-12 education, part of the demands of the McCleary decision. Drewel said he understands that. He adds that the Legislature always has a demanding job finding money for competing priorities. But he said it would be folly to consider K-12 in isolation of higher education. He also notes that the state made a commitment to Boeing in the process of placing the 777X in Everett to provide

machinists, engineers and mechanics for the aerospace industry. “That’s something that is very, very important,” Drewel said. Gov. Jay Inslee put his support for the academic center in his budget where he set aside $54.6 million for building. Lawmakers in the Senate and House will release their versions in the session. Everett has sought a university for years, first when lawmakers looked to place what would eventually become University of Washington Bothell. More recently, city, county and state leaders thought the UW would build a branch campus somewhere in the county. But UW retreated amid infighting among civic leaders on a location and the feared cost of construction a new college. In stepped WSU under the leadership of President Elson Floyd. In 2012, the university started offering classes for a mechanical engineering degree through the University Center, a collaboration of public and private colleges based on the campus of Everett Community College. This fall WSU launched bachelor’s degree programs in electrical engineering, communications and hospitality-business management. For years, Everett Community College managed the consortium, which includes the University of Washington, Western Washington and Central Washington universities. On July 1, the community college transferred control to WSU. Conversations for the new University Center building began in

Washington State University is asking for $61.1 million from the Legislature to build a new home for the University Center in north Everett.

2012. Last year, WSU received $10 million in state funding to design the facility, planned for a chunk of land that is now part of the parking lot at the College Plaza shopping center, near the corner of North Broadway and Tower Street. In the upcoming legislative session, WSU is asking for $4.5 million to launch four new programs offering 10 majors. Those programs are aviation management and aviation maintenance management; data analytics; software engineering; and sustainable food systems. Central Washington University already offers the aviation program at its campus in Ellensburg, but would expand to offer classes for up to 30 students in Everett. Data analytics and software engineering would offer choices for students seeking STEM courseloads. Sustainable food systems would dovetail with existing programs already being offered at Edmonds Community College and Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon. “I think people in the three county region should anticipate each and every program has substantial thought behind it,” Drewel said. “It has a purpose and a reason for its delivery.”

The University Center currently teaches about 400 students. If the new programs are added, the University Center would add another 100 or more, Pitre said. And that’s part of the need for the new building. They’re already running into space issues in their borrowed home at the EvCC campus. The new building will include 12 classrooms and 10 laboratories. It will have a small space for a café and another area set aside for public gatherings. It will be vital for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses the university intends to offer. “I think the importance to WSU is the ability to have the types of facilities that we need to have to offer these top-notch engineering programs,” Pitre said. If the Legislature approves the project, construction could start as soon as next year with an open date in 2017. Its location near EvCC’s new Advanced Manufacturing Education & Training Center is ideal. They’re also considering how the WSU North Puget Sound can grow into the future. “We are looking at opportunities at this moment to go forward in that regard,” Drewel said.

GM’s new electric could upstage Volt By Tom Krisher Associated Press

biz bits

DETROIT — With the introduction of an affordable electric car that can go 200 miles on a single charge, General Motors is setting up a showdown with Tesla to sell an electric vehicle to the masses. It may also upstage a car of its own. GM on Monday unveiled the Chevrolet Bolt, a $30,000 concept car that likely will go on sale in about two years. The range will make it attractive to many who wouldn’t consider a fully electric car for fear of running out of juice. The rollout of the orange compact hatchback eclipsed GM’s unveiling of a revamped Chevy Volt Monday at the Detroit auto show. When the plug-in gas-electric hybrid Volt was introduced as a concept car in 2007, it was touted as an electric vehicle for everyone. It could go 38 miles on battery power, with a gas generator taking over to end worries of being stranded. But its $40,000 price tag hamstrung sales, even with a $7,500 federal tax credit. Enter the Bolt, a hatchback with a hefty range and SUV-like cargo area and a price that’s about the same as the average selling price of a new vehicle in America. Technically the Bolt is a concept car, but GM plans to start selling a production version sometime in 2017. That sets up a showdown with Silicon Valley’s Tesla Motors Inc., which

plans to deliver a mass-market, 200-mile electric car for around $35,000 in the same time frame. But the Bolt could leave the updated and restyled Volt behind, even though GM put a significant effort into increasing the Volt’s electric range by one third to 50 miles and adding features that customers want, like five seats instead of four. When the Bolt, which looks like a cross between a Volkswagen Golf and BMW’s electric i3, rolled onto a stage at the Chevy exhibit, CEO Mary Barra said, “For most people, this car can be their daily drive.” Although hatchbacks typically haven’t sold well in the U.S.,

GM says the Bolt’s cargo space and high seating will give it extra appeal. Both those features are fueling a boom in crossover SUV sales. “What we really tried to do is take a lot of things that people love about owning a crossover and try and incorporate that,” said Stuart Norris, director of advanced design for GM in Korea, where much of the Bolt was designed. But that functionality is another reason that people may pick the Bolt over the Volt. Four years ago then-GM CEO Dan Akerson predicted the company would sell 60,000 Volts per year. Instead, GM has sold about 73,000 total since the car went on

the market. Its best sales year was 2012 at just over 23,400. Sales last year dropped 19 percent to just under 19,000. Neither electric car is likely to get on car buyers’ radar in the short run with gasoline running around $2.15 per gallon, said Jeff Schuster, executive vice president of forecasting for LMC Automotive, an industry consulting firm. “Even the 200-mile thing, which is a remarkable achievement and something that certainly everyone has been chasing, I think it risks getting lost in the shuffle where gas prices are right now,” he said. Oil prices — and therefore gas prices — are volatile, so things could change by the time the Bolt hits the market. Schuster says if gas prices stay low, neither the Bolt nor the Volt will sell well. And that will buy other automakers time to catch up with their own 200-mile electrics. Plus, cheap gas means it will take longer for owners to recoup the premium paid for an electric car with savings from not buying gasoline. GM has dialed back sales expectations for Volt 2.0, and executives are confident there’s a market for it when it arrives in showrooms in the second half of next year. They’re targeting the Volt not so much to those who want to save on gas but more toward those who bought the first generation — tech-saavy individuals who want to drive on electricity without worrying about running out of juice.

Average gas price in state dips to $2.37 BELLEVUE — The AAA auto club reports the average price of a gallon of gasoline in Washington is $2.37. That’s down 10 cents in a week and 53 cents in a month, but it’s 24 cents higher than the national average. The price has fallen to $1.98 a gallon in Spokane. Some average metro prices from Monday’s AAA survey: Bellingham $2.32, Bremerton $2.32, SeattleBellevue-Everett $2.50, Tacoma $2.39, Olympia $2.39, Vancouver $2.34, Yakima $2.30, and Tri-Cities $2.18.

Stronger ID theft laws needed, Obama says President Barack Obama on Monday proposed strengthening laws against identity theft by requiring notification when consumer information is hacked, providing more free access to credit scores and protecting students’ private data. Obama said identity theft is a growing problem that costs billions of dollars and can “ruin your life.” Obama wants Congress to pass legislation called the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act, which would require companies to inform customers within 30 days if their data has been hacked. Obama says every state currently has its own policy on when companies must notify consumers of a breach and that there should be a single standard across the country and baseline protections across industries. The legislation would also make it a crime to sell customers’ identities overseas.

Cyberthieves target frequent-flier miles Thieves with stolen usernames and passwords have broken into customer accounts at American and United airlines and in some cases booked free trips or upgrades. The airlines say the incidents happened in late December. American began notifying affected customers by email on Monday, a spokeswoman said. United Airlines spokesman Luke Punzenberger said thieves booked trips or made mileage transactions on up to three dozen accounts. United notified customers in late December, and Punzenberger said the airline would restore miles to anyone who had them stolen.

with a scenario outlined in a report released in July 2014 by GEER. That team of geologists and engineers had a mission to collect raw data as quickly as possible after the slide for rapid distribution to the scientific community and the public. The new interpretation of the seismic data shows an initial shock wave at 10:37 a.m. consistent with a large mass falling vertically. The initial debris didn’t travel, but it undermined the slope above, which collapsed about 50 seconds later. That mass compressed the soils down below in the base of the slide, which then liquefied and rushed out across the North Fork Stillaguamish River and into the Steelhead Haven neighborhood. A secondary shock wave, coming about five minutes later, didn’t have the wavelengths associated with the main slide, and is therefore thought to be just a further collapse of part of the headscarp, said Kate Allstadt, a seismologist working at the USGS on a National Science Foundation fellowship and one of 14 listed co-authors of the new report.

STOCK MARKET SUMMARY

Energy companies led a decline on the stock market as crude oil continues to tumble. The price of oil dropped another 5 percent Monday to $46 a barrel. That's far below its recent peak of more than $100 a barrel last June. The slump means much lower profits for energy companies, even though consumers benefit by paying less for gas.

Previous reports postulated that the second shock wave was also part of the main slide activity. “We think that’s the source of the deposits in the secondary debris fall,” Allstadt said, referring to pile of debris that came to rest high up the slope. One unnamed eyewitness account in the new report corroborated the main debris flow roaring across the river less than a minute after the initial collapse. “There were no eyewitness reports of anything big happening a few minutes later,” Allstadt said. The new report’s focus on water was reinforced by comparisons to other landslides. The 2006 landslide on the same slope, as well as older slides, hadn’t exhibited unusual mobility. Slides elsewhere that had large runouts typically originated on slopes of greater than 30 degrees, whereas the slope at Oso was less than 20 degrees when it collapsed. That was a surprise to Iverson when he first made the trip to Oso and saw the relatively shallow, 600-foothigh Hazel hill that was the source of the slide.

“I was expecting this to have arisen from one of the big mountainsides up there,” Iverson said. “One of the surprises was it did come from a site that had so little potential energy.” Another finding was that, of the approximately 10.8 million cubic yards of earth that moved during the slide, less than half that amount moved beyond the slide’s original footprint on the north shore of the river. The initial wave of watery debris to cross the floodplain probably only amounted to 261,590 cubic yards, or less than 3 percent of the total volume of material in the slide. The report suggests that the leading edge of debris might have gotten more energy from incorporating about 65,000 cubic yards of water from the river, which could have contributed to further scouring and liquefaction in the flood plain. Comparisons with past landslides elsewhere reveal that the 2014 Oso slide, while having slightly less energy than other slides of its size, had a runout area about 50 percent larger than what would have

been expected for a rock or debris avalanche of the same volume. “That’s why the liquefaction is such a critical part of the story,” Iverson said. But the extensive runout across the flat flood plain of the valley also makes the Oso slide an outlier in the historical record, posing a challenge to research, said Jonathan Godt, director for the USGS Landslide Hazards Program. Being able to predict large slides requires a better understanding of how they’ve moved over thousands of years, and records over a few decades may not be particularly relevant to an event the size of Oso, he said. “All the long-runout landslides we know of, there’s really no written down historical information. You’re really looking at the

geologic record,” Godt said. Assessing the risk a slide poses to people and property depends no underground soil conditions, the report says. Gathering that data is a significant challenge. While identifying a hazard is comparatively easy, Iverson said, quantifying the risk the hazard poses requires information that is usually not available. “If we had a threedimensional picture of the distribution of pore space in the ground and also had a three-dimensional picture of evolving water pressures in the ground, we would have, I think, a significant portion of the information we need to make an accurate forecast,” he added. “It sounds deceptively simple, but it’s very difficult information to come by,” Iverson said.

his girlfriend, Rachel Patterson, approached the trio and a few words were exchanged. The victims told police Smith suddenly attacked the oldest brother first with a extendable baton. The victims yelled for their youngest brother to run. Smith then pulled a knife and stabbed the older brother in the chest. The middle brother ran to help and was attacked by Patterson, according to court papers. Smith also attacked him. The brothers, bleeding heavily from their wounds, were able to walk home. They were covered in blood, Yvette Klein said. Her first-born son collapsed on the floor and was having a hard time breathing. They would later learn that he’d been

stabbed twice, once in the chest and under his arm. The knife punctured his lung. He was hospitalized for three days. Patterson, 28, recently was sentenced to three years in prison. She also pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, None of the victims or witnesses could identify Patterson as taking part in assault and there was no physical evidence tying her to the crime, Dickinson said. He agreed to reduce the first-degree assault charge in exchange for her guilty plea and the promise that she would testify against Smith at trial. She planned to testify that Smith went to the playfield armed with a knife, Dickinson

said. That was expected to dispute Smith’s claims that he had been acting in self-defense. The Kleins said they were grateful for the efforts of police and the prosecutor’s office. Smith, 30, on Monday apologized to the family. He told them he never intended to hurt anyone. He was high on heroin at the time and his lifestyle made him paranoid, he said. The judge was told that the defendant felt threatened. Smith said he hoped the family could find some closure after Monday’s hearing. “It might bring closure to him. He’ll do his time and get out. These kids will suffer forever,” Rustin Klein said after the hearing. Their oldest son

continues to recover from his physical injuries. He also was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder because of the attack. He’s become hypervigilant and suffers from nightmares, his parents said. “His anxiety keeps him from doing more independent activities that he used to do,” his mom said. Their other two sons and their daughter also are more cautious about being out in public. Yvette Klein also is anxious when any of her four children are out. They know to check in with her to ease her worries. “We could have lost one or three of the boys,” Rustin Klein said. “We’re very fortunate.” The Kleins plan to stay in Snohomish.

IN OUR VIEW | State’s fish consumption rule

A way to protect health, jobs We may now have a way to eat our fish and have our jobs, too. The state Department of Ecology on Monday proposed a new water quality rule that, based on a realistic amount of fish consumption, will set pollution standards for rivers, lakes and other bodies of water and will allow industry, specifically Boeing and other manufacturers, to comply with those standards, reduce the amount of toxic chemicals being released into the environment and do so in an affordable, transparent manner. Previously, acceptable levels of toxins were based on the amount of fish we supposedly consume, an estimate set in a 1974 federal study of 6.5 grams a day, less than 2 ounces a week. That’s about one and a half fish sticks a week, a ridiculous amount

that Ivar Haglund would not have kept clam over. The new fish consumption standard assumes a much healthier and more generous rate of about a six-ounce serving a day of fish from state waters. The new rule is tied to toxics-reduction legislation sought by Gov. Jay Inslee that seeks a greater emphasis on preventing toxic chemicals from entering the environment on the front end, rather than trying to clean them up on the back end where they enter the food web from wastewater discharges. Much of the toxic chemicals enter into the environment in small but steady amounts, such as copper from brake pads on vehicles, flame retardants in furniture, softeners used to make plastics and metals in roofing materials. The rule and legislation seek to create chemical action

plans that will bring together agencies, industry and others to recommend ways to reduce and eliminate specific chemicals and, where possible, find safer alternatives or procedures to those chemicals. The updated water quality standards will be more stringent regarding about 70 percent of chemicals and will remain at current levels for about 30 percent. The only exception is made for arsenic because it occurs naturally at a relatively higher rate in state waters. A federal drinking water standard will instead be used for arsenic levels. Agricultural use of pesticides and related chemicals would remain under the control of federal law. And the Ecology Department says the new standards it seeks should create minimal costs for most wastewater dischargers. Reaction to the proposal

people who follow his line of reasoning. When he describes the gas tax as regressive because it “hits the middle and working classes far more than the rich,” then why does he detest the fairer tax, which is a graduated income tax? He wishes to curb driving by making it more expensive. Yet he gives no consideration to the people who have to find alternative forms transportation if they cannot afford to drive. They work for wages and depend upon infrastructures with poor or no public transportation. Charles distorts reality. All of us, rich, middle class and poor, depend upon a social net. The rich need clean air, water, and functional roads, bridges and tunnels, just as the middle class and poor do. So, even according to his own writing, a fairer way to provide for these needs would be an increase in the marginal income tax rate (the rate paid on earnings over $450,000 per married couple) than in the regressive gas tax.

and more executives. Whew, I know right! Sounds like the wailing of another crazy liberal, but actually are real things and actions we have been reading about in The Herald for quite some time, not the Opinion Page mind you, but flip that page back to world and national news. Two recent articles in the Wednesday edition beg the question: How long can this particular conservative message keep deceiving so many? Championed by Ronald Reagan and continued by the likes of Jeb Bush founding yet another conservative think tank to as he put it, rise up all Americans to Speaker John Boehner’s very first bill passed, making it easier defending plans for more tax cuts for business interests using “dynamic scoring,” assumptions of somebody in their ranks predicting what the economy will be in the future. Isn’t that the mindset which produced the last meltdown that you and I seem to be paying for? Barring that calamity, what else has this trickling down policy, raising us all, to have exactly tossed down in the last 30 years, certainly hasn’t made it to the other news outlets yet has it?

from industry, environmentalists and the state’s Indian tribes, whose members’ diet and culture relies even more substantially on fish and seafood, will follow. But Rob Duff, environmental policy adviser for Inslee, in a telephone conference Monday said the Department of Ecology has worked to include those stakeholders in development of the rule and its legislation. While this moves through the Legislature this session, the federal Environmental Protection Agency is keeping a keen watch on the process and has started its own rulemaking process to update the state’s water quality standards should the state falter and fail to adopt new standards. These are our waters, our fish and our industries. It’s best for all three if we adopt our rules.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■HIGHLAND CHRISTIAN

So wrong to try to blame student Thank you to Herald writer Diana Hefley for bringing us the article: “Judge: Girl can’t be blamed for her assault”: Kudos to Superior Court Judge David Kurtz for rejecting an argument by the lawyer for Highland Christian Schools (in Arlington) that a 14-year-old student (and her parents) should bear any responsibility for an inappropriate relationship between the girl and the school’s former principal. Shame on them! I would suggest that Highland Christian Schools fire their legal team and take a serious look at themselves for even allowing such an assertion to be made. Further yet, if, after taking a good look at this, Highland Christian Schools truly believes this was an appropriate tact to take, rather than rethinking their policies on better background checks for prospective staff, (new HR department? New school board?), then I would advise parents to grab their children and get out of there, fast! This type of thinking is truly dysfunctional and not the type of educational system that you want your children to be a part of! Highland Christian Schools needs to take a good hard look at themselves and their policies. At all costs, children need to be, and to feel safe in school before they can even begin to learn.

Income tax more fair than gas tax

■■ECONOMY

While reading Charles Krauthammer’s Friday column, I felt the earth shake under my feet, to borrow a lyric from a popular song. Imagine him stating in writing that he supports Social Security, an increase in taxes, and the idea that carbon dioxide is a pollutant! These statements almost allowed me to overlook his fuzzy math: $12 more in gas tax per week would be balanced by $12 less in FICA taxes per week to therefore increase unemployment and Social Security checks by $12. This does not compute. Dear Charles is not completely reformed. He still believes that those on Social Security are deterred from work by their benefits. As much as I dislike reading Krauthammer, I feel it is necessary in order to understand his point of view, and those of

Supposing one has spent the last 30 years with their head buried in the mythical land of “Leave it to Beaver,” reruns shown daily on Fox News, they most likely wouldn’t concede that during that time the average American worker, along with their families, has lost leverage in the workplace, but rather faces the notion “be lucky you have a job, any job,” given up benefits in pensions and healthcare, hence the need to abolish Obamacare; and witnessed stagnant wage growth in light of increasing production rates and despite all-time profits in the financial sector, exhibited in the insanely lopsided compensations being lavished on more

■■I-594

Specifics needed, not ‘trust’ The Jan. 4 editorial “Reject legal challenge to I-594” makes a pretty good case for granting the relief sought by the Second Amendment Foundation suit (Did you actually read it? You should: www.saf.org/wpcontent/uploads/2014/12/ NWSSvFergie.pdf ): “An order ... enjoining Defendants, from enforcing I-594’s amendments ... relating to non-commercial transfers of firearms to private citizens who are otherwise

Box 930 Everett, WA 98206 qualified...” You effectively admit that I-594’s definition of “loan”, 2(25), is so broad that countless innocent acts, such as handing a gun to a Fed-Ex employee, and others cited in the suit, could be construed as criminal at prosecutorial whim. You say we should not worry that I-594 will make felons of most of us, because we will probably get away with it, like “doing 63 mph in a 60 mph zone.” This is not a traffic ticket, this is a life-destroying felony: years in prison, civil rights, life savings, any hope of a decent job forever gone. Further, we live in the Land of the Liberal and hoplophobic derangement abounds: ■■Children are expelled from school for chewing a pop tart into an allegedly gun-like shape. ■■They are lined up like sitting ducks in “gun-free zones.” ■■Seattle and Everett officials tried to designate public parks and buildings “gun-free zones.” ■■Having failed, they and the Bloomberg machine (the moneybags behind I-594) bully shopkeepers into refusing service to lawfully armed citizens. ■■The King and Snohomish county prosecutors were complicit with the Bloomberg gang in passing I-594. You say we should trust their fairness and “discretion.” Right. John R. Alberti Everett

Can’t we do better than the current field?

un, Mitt, run! You too, Jeb, and please bring along the whole roadshow of perennial Republican also-rans. Across the aisle: Go for it, Hillary! What all of you see so clearly is that the nation desperately wants to be led forward into the past, or back to the future, or something. OK, not really. I don’t actually believe the nation is eager to see the 2016 presidential race devolve into a contest EUGENE ROBINSON of attrition among the tired, the shopworn, the unviable and the famously surnamed. For the moment, however, this is the direction in which history appears to be trudging. From the narrow, self-interested viewpoint of an opinion columnist who often writes about politics, the best news in months is that Mitt Romney has told political donors that he is seriously considering another run for president. If you are starting to laugh, take note of the fact that a Bloomberg poll last month found that Romney would do better in a race against Hillary Clinton than any of the other leading GOP contenders. Why is this good news for scribes? Because the jokes are already written — the dog strapped to the roof of his car, the automotive elevator in one of his mansions, the compassionate vision of corporate personhood, the conviction that 47 percent of Americans are deadbeats. Just dust off this material, freshen it up a bit and you’re done before lunch. Of course, Romney would have some explaining to do. He promised to reduce unemployment to 6 percent within four years; President Obama, who Romney said was clueless about economics, cut the jobless rate to 5.6 percent in just two years. In fact, the U.S. economy — with solid growth, plunging deficits and essentially no inflation — is the envy of the world. If technocratic competence is not a promising way for Romney to frame his appeal, maybe he can try fiery passion. Seriously, I’d pay money to see that. Assuming Romney comes to his senses, the candidate most likely to win the backing of the Republican Party’s establishment wing is Jeb Bush. He would seem almost the ideal candidate to win the presidency: a conservative who doesn’t frighten independents and gives the GOP a chance to win the most important swing state of all. But, of course, there is one big problem: Tell me when anyone, Republican or Democrat, has ever uttered the words, “What this country really, truly needs is another Bush as president.” If Bush had a different last name, I doubt anyone would even be giving Romney the time of day. But the GOP establishment is looking at options. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker seems to be the flavor of the week — but keep in mind that the party has a habit of becoming infatuated with Midwestern governors who end up either not running (Mitch Daniels) or not gaining traction (Tim Pawlenty). There was a time when it looked as if New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would be the establishment’s favorite son, but that was before the George Washington Bridge scandal. Watching him try to make it through the campaign without losing his temper would be entertaining, but not particularly edifying. I’ll go out on a limb and predict that recidivist candidates Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum will not win the nomination. Most remaining options come from the Republicans’ tea party wing, which is energetic, enthusiastic and kind of crazy. Sen. Marco Rubio is trying his best to get back into the conversation. Sen. Ted Cruz seems to have an interesting strategy: Alienate virtually all of the party’s leadership, then wait to be offered an ermine robe and a crown of laurels. That leaves Sen. Rand Paul, who already has a formidable grass-roots organization. Could he run away with the nomination? Can he keep up the fiction that he’s a Republican and not a libertarian? I’ll admit that I’m skeptical. Democrats, don’t be smug. Tell me with a straight face that you hear America singing, “What this country really, truly needs is another president named Clinton.” It is a mistake, in my view, to dismiss the whole dynastic issue as trivial. If Hillary Clinton doesn’t run — or even if she does — Sen. Elizabeth Warren is seen as an alternative. But her national appeal is untested. In a nation of more than 310 million souls, we can do better. Um, can’t we? Eugene Robinson’s email address is eugenerobinson@washpost.com.

Nana’s Secret soda a hit with pot enthusiasts Local grandma Cecilia Sivertson’s ‘crazy’ idea — cannabis-infused soft drinks— is winning over customers By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

A lot of TLC. And a little THC. That’s how Cecilia Sivertson, 56, went from being “Nana” to being “The Nana.” When she’s not doting on her grandkids, she’s selling soda pop to pot shops. Her company, Nana’s Secret, makes 11 flavors of cannabis-infused bottled sodas. “Nostalgic sodas,” she said. “Blue Cream. Orange Cream. Honey Cream. Yummyness.” CEO Nana is vying to be the CocaCola of the soda pot world. “It’s a really good business. I don’t have to sell. I just go into the shops and say, ‘I’m Nana. Good to see you. How many flavors do you want?’ ” she said. A “Nana” charm from her granddaughter dangles from a necklace and a marijuana leaf lights up her iPhone background. A “Women in Weed” button juts from her scarf. The sodas sell for $10 to $12 a pop in about 60 medical marijuana dispensaries. Now she’s going after the recreational market. She’s in the

Vaccines: They’re not just for kids; it’s a lifelong process

n an effort to keep our children up to date on shots, we frequently forget about ourselves. As a result many adults are susceptible to infections like diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis and pneumonia. But these diseases are often preventable with a vaccine. Getting immunized is a lifelong process. Check with your health care provider to see if you are current on all of your adult shots. Following are recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for some of the most important vaccines given to adults. Influenza. A flu shot is recommended each fall for all adults and children aged 6 months and above. If you didn’t get a flu shot

season, residents of long-term care facilities as well as American Indians and Alaska natives. People of any age are also at risk if they have a chronic health condition such as heart or lung disease, diabetes, kidney disease, or an immune system weakened by disease, medication or a physical condition. In addition, people who live or work with susceptible individuals should get vaccinated. Tetanus and diphtheria. All adults need a booster dose every 10 years throughout their lives.

Some individuals with particular health risks may need a one-time revaccination dose after five years. In addition to the regular pneumonia shot, adults aged 65 or older are also advised to get the new conjugate pneumococcal vaccine.

DAILY CROSSWORD

After 3 years, boyfriend is still ‘me’ instead of ‘we’ Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi, Carolyn: Do you attach any particular significance when half of a longtime couple frequently refers to himself in the singular in situations when he shouldn’t? For instance, if a friend asks what my boyfriend did over the weekend, even if I’m standing right next to him he is likely to say something like, “I went to see friends out of town” when the answer is really “Susie and I left town to visit Susie’s friends from college” (which in addition to being more accurate would also help me join the conversation). He does that pretty much every time and only occasionally mentions my involvement as an afterthought. It reminds me a bit of how in my single days, guys flirting with me would sometimes clumsily omit the existence of their wives or girlfriends from our conversations. My boyfriend and I have talked about it exactly once (in the above example, I told him his omission was really strange and almost made the sentence outright misleading), and he really doesn’t get what annoys me about this or why I even notice it. I’m thinking he feels like he’s losing himself to become part of a couple, and is resisting that.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT I get that it’s obnoxious when a person speaks in plural first-person when it’s unnecessary, but I really don’t think what I’m talking about here falls into that category. I worry that I should be more worried that this quirk hasn’t changed at all in our 3.5 years of dating. Any thoughts? — Just wondering You’ve had 3.5 years to see whether he means business in sharing his life with you. Does he, or doesn’t he? That’s your answer. Dear Carolyn: My fiance and I hosted a small gathering of family a few months ago to announce our engagement. We thought it would be a good opportunity for both families to meet. Everyone got along well, thankfully. The problem is that my soon-tobe mother-in-law has since been

pestering my mom to get together. My mom is a homebody and an introvert and mostly enjoys quiet evenings at home. She has agreed to one lunch date, and the three of us went shopping together a few weeks ago. My mom says she likes my fiance’s mom well enough, but she’s really not looking for a constant companion and the daily haranguing — a call, text, email at least once a day, usually more — is starting to wear on her. My fiance’s mom called me a few nights ago because she wants to invite my mom for a weekend but wanted to find out from me what sort of activities my mom would enjoy. I’ve tried to explain that my mom is not particularly social, and I understand that my future mother-in-law is just really lonely. But I hate being caught in the middle. How can I handle this without hurting anyone’s feelings? — Anonymous Next time your fiance’s mother gives you the chance to be blunt, be blunt: “Here’s the key to my mom: Get in touch with her no more than once a month. Seriously. She is a hard-core homebody and is never going to change. I had to learn the hard way, so please let me spare you that process.” Good luck! Washington Post Writers Group

That’s a long time for Colbert to be off the air, which he acknowledged with a very Colbert-esque quote in CBS’s release: “I have nine months to make a show, just like a baby. So first, I should find out how you make a baby,” he said. The show will air from the Ed Sullivan Theater in

‘Uptown Funk’ takes Mark Ronson up the pop charts LOS ANGELES — Mark Ronson has multiple Grammy Awards and the current No. 1 song in the U.S. and U.K. Still, he had to agree when a photographer recently called him “the white guy in the Bruno Mars video.” Ronson, soft-spoken and analytical, is happy to stand just outside the spotlight as he promotes “Uptown Special,” his fourth album, out Tuesday.

Emerson quickly tweeted an apology saying his comments were “totally inaccurate.” But his comments continued to draw derision online, spawning dozens of humorous reactions on social media, many with the hashtag FoxNewsFacts. One Twitter user said Birmingham buildings wear burqas and posted a photo of a building covered in

scaffolding. “Bizarre. Ridiculous. Nonsense. These are the only words I can use to describe the statement made by Steve Emerson,” said Birmingham lawmaker Shabana Mahmood. British Prime Minister David Cameron told ITV News he “choked on his porridge” when he heard about the claims. “This guy is clearly a complete idiot,” he said. Associated Press

tasted horrible. I said, ‘I’m not selling them labels. I’m making my own brownies.’ I took them to the dispensaries and they sold like hotcakes because they were really yummy and they were really potent.” Her company, Evergreen Label & Printing in Lynnwood, made thousands of labels for a Seattle soda bottler, and it was during a big press run that her “ah-ha” moment came. “It just clicked. This could be so much faster, so much easier and so much more profitable than baking brownies. Let’s do soda,” she said. “So I went to my customer and told him I wanted to put cannabis in soda. He said, ‘What? You’re crazy?’ I met with some friends who own a dispensary that produced cannabis infused oils for medical patients. They worked out the formula to mix the oil with another substance to make it water soluble. That’s how it got started and it has just been craziness ever since.” Will Primo, 23, is her right-hand man. They met at the Dope Magazine trade show in Seattle. The 6-foot-8 Lake Stevens man, who uses cannabis for chronic pain from a car crash, does social media, marketing and drives Nana around Washington selling cases of pop. “You can’t hardly call it work,” Primo said. “I did a lot of sales before. Most of my jobs before were either dead-end retail jobs or selling cars. With this, I have found my purpose.” Ben Reagan sells Nana’s Secret soda at the Center for Palliative Care, which specializes in cannabinoid treatments, in Seattle. “People seem to like them,” Reagan said. “There isn’t a medicinal taste or heavy cannabis taste. The orange cream tastes like orange cream.” Recreational marijuana

SOME FEDERAL WORKERS AND RETIREES MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR HEARING AIDS AT NO COST!

One of my proud parent moments occurred a decade ago, when my older daughter, who had learned a breathing technique to help her calm down, taught it to her fifth-grade classmates. As yogis have known for thousands of years, deep breathing can help reduce anxiety while improving focus and energy. Sounds simple, right? But the truth is that many people don’t know how to do deep breathing (also called diaphragmatic breathing or belly breathing). So it’s a good thing that, besides all the mindful meditation apps out there, there’s an app that teaches this technique. It’s called Breathe2Relax, and it comes from, of all places, the Department of Defense — which explains the militaristic (but sometimes creepy-looking) avatar in its demonstration video.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Will Primo, who handles social media and marketing for Nana’s Secret cannabis-infused beverages, has attributed medical marijuana with helping him recover from a serious car accident in August 2013. “I’ve found my passion,” Primo said. “I stand behind it (Nana’s Secret) because it’s helping people.”

use falls under the Washington State Liquor Control Board, which has no jurisdiction over medical marijuana. Edible products sold at retail outlets must meet state board standards. About 200 chocolate, pastry and drink products have been approved so far. “There are warnings on the recreational products and indicators that they contain marijuana. They can’t be especially appealing to children,” said liquor board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter. “They must have serving sizes. A serving is 10 milligrams of THC.” Sivertson hopes to get approval to sell a recreational version of Nana’s Secret with a total 20 milligrams of THC in a twoserving bottle. There are about 39 milligrams of THC per bottle of Nana’s medical pop and a “high potency” warning on the label. She drinks one or two bottles a day.

“The first thing I do when I get up is medicate,” she said. “I used to take five pills a day. Now I take one.” Medical use is different than recreational, she said. “In medical, people who go into dispensaries are medical patients and they know how to dose themselves because they have been doing this for a while,” she said. “It’s called medicating. It’s not a bunch of stoners sitting around getting high.” Still, what do her grandkids think? “My granddaughter is 8,” she said. “She knows what I do. She knows I have epilepsy. She knows I use the cannabis for medicine and that I make it for other people who need it for medicine. She understands all that. My husband would have been very proud.” Andrea Brown: 425339-3443; abrown@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ reporterbrown.

The National Center for Telehealth & Technology, T2 for short, works with Veterans Affairs to develop research-backed, technologically based treatments for mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. The mobile applications feature “simple tools and techniques that clinicians are already using that already have a long literature of support,” according to psychologist Julie Kinn, who helps lead the effort. Creating apps to help improve service members’ mental health makes sense, Kinn says. First, employing a technology that service members are already carrying around and can use easily and privately helps overcome the greatest barriers to obtaining psychological treatment: access and stigma. Plus, it’s cost-effective. One app can reach hundreds of thousands of people, military and civilian. Breathe2Relax has

been downloaded more than 500,000 times; like most of the 25 apps from T2, it is available in both iOS and Android versions. From the home screen, users can watch a video teaching the basics of deep breathing. Then they can set up the app to conduct the exercises; selecting preferences, which include how many seconds each inhale and exhale should be, and visual and audio settings, is easy. And there’s a section to learn more about the biology of stress and how deep-breathing helps. Breathe2Relax is not the only hit from T2; the Mood Tracker has been downloaded closed to 200,000 times. And development continues: One of T2’s latest projects is an app that will use proven treatments to reduce nightmares, such as imagery rehearsal, prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapies. Let’s just hope it features a different avatar.

Buckeyes rout Ducks Ohio State claims national title with 42-20 victory By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ohio State can add the newest version of the national championship trophy to a case that already has a bunch of the old ones. The Buckeyes’ third-stringer matched Oregon’s Heisman winner as Cardale Jones led Ohio State past Marcus Mariota and the Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football Playoff national championship game Monday

night at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys. Behind their bullish backup quarterback and the relentless running of Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes (14-1) completed a remarkable in-season turnaround with a dominating performance against the Ducks (13-2). “The chase is complete,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “It’s done. It’s over. They accepted their final mission, their final assignment and their final

directive, and they did it. That was our whole mantra this last couple of weeks. A job well done, and we’re very grateful.” Ohio State began the first major college football playoff as the fourth and final seed, and as a team that faced questions about whether it belonged at all. It was a team that never would have had a chance to win a title under the old postseason system. No question about it now: Ohio See BUCKEYES, Page C4

‘More fun than I ever could have imagined’ Pete Carroll looks back on his first five years as the Seahawks’ head coach. By John Boyle Herald Writer

still willing to be “that do-it-all guy. Whatever my team needs, it doesn’t matter to me. “My job is to be ready to play whenever the coach calls my number,” he said. “Mentally I have to stay focused, and I have to know the scouting reports and the tendencies (of the opposing team and players). I just have to be ready.” Todd played sparingly early in the season, and not at all in two of the team’s first four games. But his minutes have increased

RENTON — On January 12, 2010, Pete Carroll stood at a podium and talked about expectations. “I hope that we can separate, that we can do things in a special manner,” Carroll said a day after being named the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. “And I hope we can do things better than they’ve ever been done before around here.” Five years to the day later, Carroll was on that same stage at that same podium discussing his team’s latest play- Pete Carroll off victory as What will well as Seattle’s Hawks upcoming NFC do with QB B.J. championship Daniels, who matchup with was promoted the Green Bay off the team’s Packers. Since that practice squad Tuesday five on Monday, C5 years ago, Carroll’s Seahawks have indeed done things better than they’ve ever been done around here. They have won three NFC West titles in five seasons, been to the postseason four times, have double-digit win totals in each of the past three, and most significantly, won the first Super Bowl title in franchise history. “It’s gone great,” Carroll said when asked to reflect on his five years in Seattle. “It has been an amazing experience to come here and embrace a whole new environment, a whole new culture of fans, the history of a club, and ownership and all of that. It’s been an incredible journey, it’s been so much fun — more fun than I ever could have imagined.” Carroll admits now that he wasn’t sure five years ago if his new job could ever top his old one. At USC, Carroll built one of the most dominant programs in college football history. And while he wanted a chance to compete at the highest level of football, he didn’t know if he would ever recapture the magic he had in Los Angeles. “I thought I could never top what had happened at SC, and what we’re in the middle of right now — the youth, the connection we have with our following, it’s so special,” Carroll said. “I had thought I’d seen the top of it. We had won for so long; we won a lot of games there, a lot of games in a row, and did a lot of stuff, how could you hope to hit

Jason Todd’s playing time has increased during the season; he has played more than 20 minutes in eight of the past nine games, including a seasonhigh 30 minutes in a Dec. 6 overtime loss against Oregon State.

Just as he did at Jackson High School, University of Portland freshman Jason Todd will do “whatever the team needs me to do to help us win.” By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

t helped that University of Portland men’s basketball coach Eric Reveno was a longtime acquaintance of Jackson High School coach Steve Johnson. That friendship, going back to their years in Palo Alto, Calif. — Johnson was a high school player, Reveno at nearby Stanford University — gave Reveno an early glimpse of a promising Timberwolves player named Jason Todd. But what helped even more in

the recruiting process was something Reveno kept hearing in conversations with Johnson and others that knew Todd. “You couldn’t bring up Jason’s name without hearing the word winner being mentioned in the same sentence,” Reveno said. “Everyone talked about that.” In addition, Reveno could see for himself that Todd was “a very good basketball player. He was a versatile athlete with a very good skill level, and someone who had a great feel for the game and for making others better.” What he heard and saw

convinced Reveno that he needed Todd, a big part of four straight state-tournament teams at Jackson, in his program. Two months into his freshman season at Portland, “I’m just trying to do what I’ve always done, which is to play my tail off and work hard,” said Todd, a 6-foot-4 guard-forward. “I don’t care about points, rebounds and other stats, just about winning. And whatever the team needs me to do to help us win, that’s fine.” Known for his assortment of skills at Jackson, Todd says he is

The Western Hockey League trade deadline came and went Saturday, but there’s one deal that still has the league buzzing — for multiple reasons. The Kelowna Rockets, who already owned the WHL’s best record, added an NHL-caliber forward when it acquired the rights to Leon Draisaitl from the Prince Albert Raiders. Draisaitl, a 19-year-old from Germany, was one of the league’s elite players last season, notching 105 points (38 goals, 67 assists) in 64 games with Prince Albert. He subsequently was picked third overall in the NHL draft by the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers determined Draisaitl was ready for the NHL this season, but he didn’t have the impact Edmonton expected, tallying just two goals and seven assists in 37 games. Because Draisaitl is 19 and was drafted out of the WHL, the only place the Oilers could reassign him was Prince Albert. With Draisaitl struggling, rumors swirled for weeks about him being returned to the WHL. However, the Oilers never had any intention of letting Draisaitl play for Prince Albert. After being reassigned to the WHL, Draisaitl’s rights were promptly dealt to Kelowna for 18-year-old forward Kris Schmidli, 18-year-old defenseman Dalton Yorke, a first-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft, a

fourth-rounder in 2016 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2016 or 2017. It turns out the Oilers would only reassign Draisaitl to the WHL if his rights were traded to Kelowna. “I had a real specific destination in mind for Leon and I talked to (Prince Albert general manager) Bruno Campese many times throughout the year, saying it was very unlikely he’d be assigned back to P.A.,” Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish told the Edmonton media in a video posted on the Oilers’ website. “At one of those conversations, I said to Bruno that I had this specific situation I thought was going to be ideal for Leon and if that situation was satisfied, then there’d be a likelihood that we’d send him back. “For obvious reasons, Kelowna was the destination for Leon and I think this is going to be extremely important for his development.” The addition of Draisaitl makes Kelowna look like an unstoppable juggernaut. The Prince Albert Daily Herald pointed out that Kelowna general manager Bruce Hamilton has close ties with members of the Oilers organization, including MacTavish. The Raiders received a good haul for Draisaitl, but one has to wonder whether Prince Albert, which is fighting for its playoff life, would have preferred to have access to the talents of its former star — and whether having NHL teams dictate the destinations of top players is the best thing for the

for a second-round pick.

Another former Silvertip, 18-yearold forward Mitch Skapski, was dealt to Saskatoon, with the teams also swapping fifth-round picks. n There was an odd situation as a trade between Kamloops and Swift Current, which saw 19-yearold defenseman Josh Connolly and a second-round pick go to the Broncos for 18-year-old defenseman Brycen Martin, was voided by the league because Connolly refused to report to Swift Current. Both players were dealt the next day, with Connolly going to Prince George for 19-year-old defenseman Marc McNulty, while Martin was traded to Saskatoon with a conditional fifth-rounder in exchange for 18-year-old defenseman Jordan Thomson and a first rounder. n Portland filled its vacant overage roster slot by acquiring 20-year-old defenseman Adam Henry from Saskatoon in exchange

Everett AquaSox manager Rob Mummau (right) speaks with catcher Marcus Littlewood during a pitching change in 2012.

Mummau returning as AquaSox skipper By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — Rob Mummau is returning to Everett. Mummau, who managed the Everett AquaSox in 2012 and 2013, is returning to manage the Sox again this year following a one-year hiatus, the Seattle Mariners announced Monday. The 43-year-old Mummau, who resides in Stephens City, Virginia, is entering his 14th season with the Mariners organization as both a minor-league manager and a scout. During his previous two seasons with Everett, the Mariners’ affiliate in the shortseason single-A Northwest League, he guided the team to a 90-62 record, reaching the playoffs both years. Last season Mummau managed Pulaski, Seattle’s

affiliate in the rookie Appalachian League. Pulaski went 36-30 and finished third in the five-team East Division. Mummau takes over for Dave Valle, who spent one season as Everett’s manager. Valle, the former Mariners catcher who was making his managing debut following 18 years away from the field, guided the Sox to a 28-48 record last season, which was the worst mark in the Northwest League. Valle was not among the minorleague staffs announced by the Mariners on Monday. Everett also announced the rest of its field staff. Mike Davis returns for his second season as Everett’s hitting coach. Jason Blanton, who was with Mummau in Pulaski last season, will serve as pitching coach. Everett opens the 2015 season at home on June 18 against the Eugene Emeralds.

Jaime Navarro and Cory Snyder will return this season as coaches at Triple-A Tacoma, the Seattle Mariners announced Monday in revealing their 2015 minor-league staff assignments. The club previously announced Pat Listach will serve as the Rainiers’ manager. Listach spent last season as the Houston Astros’ third-base coach. He replaces Roy Howell, who will serve as a coach at Double-A Jackson. Howell had been scheduled to fill that role last season before shifting to the Rainiers in spring training when Rich Donnelly was promoted to the big-league staff to replace an ailing John Stearns as third-base coach. Navarro, 47, is entering his seventh season in the Mariners’ organization and his second as Tacoma’s pitching coach. He pitched 12 seasons in the big leagues for four clubs from 1989-2000. Snyder, 52, is in his fifth season with the Mariners and his second at Tacoma. He played nine years in the big leagues for five clubs from 1986-94. The remainder of the Tacoma staff consists of trainers Tom Newberg and Tyler Moos, and assistant performance coordinator Will Lindholm. Newberg is entering his 29th season with the organization and his ninth at Tacoma. Moos and Lindholm are in their third and sixth years with the Mariners, respectively, but their first with the Rainiers. Long-time Tacoma manager Daren Brown, who briefly managed the Mariners in 2010, remains with the organization as its bunting and base-running coordinator. The Mariners’ other minorleague staff assignments: n Double-A Jackson: manager James Horner, pitching coach Lance Painter, coach Roy Howell, trainer B.J. Downie and performance coach Derek Mendoza. n Hi-A Bakersfield: manager Eddie Menchaca, pitching coach Andrew Lorraine, coach Max Venable, trainer Geoff Swanson and performance coach Aaron Reis.

n Lo-A Clinton: manager Scott Steinmann, pitching coach Cibney Bello, coach Mike Kinkade, trainer Matt Corvo and performance coach (to be announced). n Short-A Everett: manager Rob Mummau, pitching coach Jason Blanton, hitting coach Mike Davis, trainer Shane Zdebiak and performance coach (to be announced). n Rookie Peoria: manager Darrin Gardner, pitching coach Rich Dorman, coaches Andy Bottin and James Lofton, trainer Randy Roetter, performance coach Scott Burgett, clubhouse manager Isaac Ruiz and clubhouse assistant Tony Gutierrez. n Rookie Dominican: manager Jose Umbria, pitching coach Danielin Acevedo, coaches Francisco Gerez and Jose Guillen, trainer Leonardo Jimenez and performance coach (to be announced). n Rookie Venezuela: manager Russell Vasquez pitching coach Carlos Hernandez, coaches Alex Delgado, Richard Paz and Selwyn Langaigne, trainers Jhonny Molina and Luis Fermin, and clubhouse manager Melvi Piedra. The Mariners also announced the following coordinator assignments for their minor-league operations: Field coordinator Jack Howell, pitching coordinator Terry Clark, rehab pitching coordinator Gary Wheelock, catching coordinator Dan Wilson, hitting coordinator Lee May Jr., infield coordinator Jim Pankovits, and special assistant coordinator Alvin Davis.

Cano set to play Second baseman Robinson Cano is expected to begin playing Tuesday for Estrellas de Oriente in the Dominican Winter League. Cano received permission from the Mariners last week to test his recovery from a broken toe by playing a few games for Estrellas. He suffered the injury Nov. 15 while playing for a majorleague touring team in Japan. Plans call for Cano to serve primarily as a designated hitter for Estrellas, which has five games remaining in its regular season. Cano is expected to remain with the club for any postseason contests. The Mariners open spring training Feb. 20 with pitchers and catchers reporting to the organization’s year-round complex in Peoria, Ariz. The first fullsquad workout is Feb. 25.

Tomahawks’ tip-in makes SportsCenter Herald Staff

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Having played together since they were in fourth grade, Mariner High School freshmen Hannah Hezekiah (23) and Denisa Grebovic (1) are proving to be a force for the Marauders. The two account for nearly 80 percent of their team’s scoring this season.

Trending Upward

A pair of high-scoring freshmen are helping turn around a Mariner girls basketball program that has struggled in recent years By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

Optimism is something new for the Mariner girls basketball team, but it’s something the players and coaches are wearing well. The Marauders had won only one game in two years before opening this season with a 22-point victory over Oak Harbor. It’s Mariner’s only win so far this season — at least according to the scoreboard. The bigger victory is the fact the Marauders, who in past years were routinely blown out, are starting to compete. In addition to the win over the Wildcats, the Marauders took Meadowdale into overtime before losing by nine points, lost by eight to Everett and gave Mount Vernon a difficult game last Wednesday before the Bulldogs pulled away late in the fourth quarter. It doesn’t sound like much, but for a team that last season lost 14 of its 20 games by 35 or more points, it’s a significant step. Freshmen Hannah Hezekiah and Denisa Grebovic are two of the big reasons for the Marauders’ improvement. Hezekiah leads the team in scoring, averaging 23.8 points per game. Grebovic is second at 12.2. “They’re basketball players,” Mariner head coach Corey Gibb said. “They understand the game. They put in more time than any two players I’ve ever had at the same time. They want to be the best.” Despite being a freshman, Hezekiah has emerged as one of the top scorers in the state. Prior to Friday’s loss to Kamiak — in which she finished with nine points — she hadn’t scored less than 24 points in a game this season. “She’s strong for a freshman,” Gibb said. “I haven’t seen a freshman that strong in a while. She’s got great range and her shot doesn’t really change. You see some kids, the further out they go they start dropping their shoulder and trying to push the ball. Her (shot) doesn’t change.” Hezekiah and Grebovic are best friends who have been playing together off and on since they were in fourth grade. They went to different middle schools then were reunited at Mariner. Grebovic has become the team’s point guard, which means her scoring has taken a back seat to running the Marauders’

offense. “Her role is changing more than Hannah’s has,” Gibb said. “It’s been more of a struggle for her than Hannah.” Both girls said the relationship they enjoy outside of basketball has helped them find success on the court. “We’ve been complimented so many times on how well we read each other,” Grebovic said. “We just have this weird connection on the court that I don’t think a lot of people understand. Whenever we’re open, we see each other.” The two have provided 79.4 percent of the Marauders’ scoring this season. Though that may sound impressive, both girls say when the scoring totals of their teammates start to increase, so will the victories. Though the two freshmen are younger than their teammates, they are the most experienced. Gibb said it’s up to the rest of the players to try to keep up. “The girls are starting to realize that I’m not going to ask Hannah and Denisa to bring their game down,” Gibb said. “The rest of you are going to have to step up — and if you’re not willing or able to do that, then we’ll find somebody who will.” The offense provided by Hezekiah and Grebovic is the largest percentage of a team’s points scored by any duo in Wesco 4A. The

next closest pair, Snohomish’s Madeline Smith and Madison Pollock, account for 58.2 of the Panthers’ scoring. What do those numbers mean? Hezekiah and Grebovic are effective, but other teams are getting more production from other players. Since the Marauders don’t have a group of consistent secondary scorers, Gibb said defense has to be a priority. “I believe you can win if you score 40 to 45 points in a game, but you have to play defense,” Gibb said. “For a 4A varsity basketball team, we’re pretty small, so there are other things we have to do. I always tell them, ‘It doesn’t take any talent to hustle.’ That’s one of my favorite quotes of all-time. You don’t have to be the greatest, but you just work your butt off and that makes up for a lot.” Gibb said he expects opponents will start to plan their defensive strategies around slowing down Hezekiah and Grebovic, making game preparation more difficult. “It poses different challenges in practice because you know the other teams are going to focus on those two,” Gibb said. “We’ve yet to see any really screwy defenses, but it’ll come and it will be interesting to see how that 14-year-old will handle an 18-year-old in her face for 32 minutes.” Though the Marauders have yet to win a conference game, Gibb has set the bar high. He hopes to have his team challenging for a playoff spot, if not by the end of this season, certainly by the end of the next. “I think we have a legitimate shot of being one of the top six seeds for playoffs,” Gibb said. “We might be a year away. We’re really young. … I think a lofty goal is to make the playoffs this year, but I think it’s definitely a real possibility next year and in the couple years to come just because of the maturity that’s going to happen.” As for Hezekiah and Grebovic, they are enjoying being a part of the rebuilding process. “We love playing on this team,” Grebovic said. “It’s not about losing or winning, it’s about how hard everyone tries. We love this team. It’s really amazing.” Aaron Lommers covers prep sports for The Herald. Follow him on Twitter at @aaronlommers and contact him at alommers@ heraldnet.com.

One of the top plays of Cole Grinde’s life was good enough to make another top-10 list. The Marysville Pilchuck senior’s dramatic tip-in at the buzzer gave the Tomahawks boys basketball team a 61-59 victory over Arlington on Friday night at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Saturday evening, Grinde saw his work on ESPN, with the basket making SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays of the Night. “Right as it came on I was driving and I looked at my phone and it was just blowing up,” Grinde said. “Everyone was like, ‘You got put on SportsCenter!’ I was like, ‘No way.’ It was pretty surreal. People from other states were seeing it too.” On the 8 p.m. PST show, Grinde’s game winner was No. 10 on the nightly recap of top plays. “It’s amazing. For every athlete it’s a milestone to be put on that big of display,” Grinde said. “To be in front of the world, that’s pretty cool. I don’t know a lot of people, besides pro athletes that can say, ‘I’ve been on SportsCenter’s Top 10.’” The win was a big one for Marysville Pilchuck (7-2). The contest was the Tomahawks’ Wesco 3A North opener, and it came against an Arlington squad (8-3) that’s one of the prime contenders for the division crown. “That basket meant a lot to us,” Grinde said. “Last year we got demolished by Arlington and we wanted to make a statement for our first conference game. ... That basket was huge for us.” For Grinde, it was especially nice sharing the moment with his teammates. The guard said the players are incredibly close, and we’re all thrilled to see him on ESPN. “Seeing my team make it on something like that means something to a lot of people. It was a cool experience for me,” Grinde said. “They’re all appreciative and happy for me. ... I haven’t had a game like that — ever — in my life. “I just want to praise my teammates. They’re like my family. I love those guys so much.” For video of Grinde’s basket, visit www.heraldnet.com/ prepzone.

Kamiak goes for milestone The Kamiak boys swim team is shooting for triple digits this afternoon. The Knights have won 99 consecutive regular-season meets — their latest a 119-66 victory over Shorewood last Thursday — and have a chance to tack on Nos. 100 and 101 with meets against Meadowdale and Lynnwood. The competition starts at 3:15 p.m. at the Lynnwood Pool. “Certainly a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck,” said Kamiak head coach Chris Erickson. “I’ve had a lot of hardworking and dedicated athletes and that’s the biggest thing.” Erickson believes the last time Kamiak lost was to Snohomish in January of 2008. “It’s just exciting when you get an undefeated season,” Erickson said. “It sounds nice – 100. But you just keep doing the best you can and eventually somebody’s going to stand up and go toe-to-toe with you. You probably can’t do it forever.”

Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott scores on a nine-yard touchdown run during the second half of Monday’s game against Oregon.

Buckeyes From Page C1

State is the truest champion big-time football has ever crowned, showered by golden confetti as its band played “Hang on Sloopy” when the clock hit 0:00. Meyer’s Buckeyes overcame two injured Heisman contenders and one awful early season loss at home to Virginia Tech to win their first national title since 2002. Back then, the Bowl Championship Series decided the top team at the end of the season — usually. Before that, it was up to The Associated Press and coaches’ polls to sort out which team was best, with a little help from the bowls. The Buckeyes have three of those championships, too. And Meyer now has three, adding this one for his home state team to the two he won for Florida. He matches Alabama’s Nick Saban as the only coaches to win national championship at two schools. It’s taken just three seasons in Columbus for Meyer to put the Buckeyes — and the Big Ten — back on top, with a team that looks built to last. Elliott, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries. In the last three games against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon, Elliott had 696 yards rushing. “It was our dream. It came true,” Elliott said. “With all the stuff we went through to get here, it’s just crazy. It doesn’t feel real.” Jones, who took over three games ago for the injured J.T. Barrett (who had taken over at the start of the season for the injured Braxton Miller), passed for 242 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score. The 250-pound third-year sophomore proved he could keep up with Mariota — at least on this night. Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but the Ducks’ warp-speed spread offense missed too many redzone opportunities and couldn’t unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee and an Ohio State front seven stacked with future NFL draft picks. “We fought through a lot of stuff,” Mariota said. “We ended up short tonight, but that shouldn’t take away from what we were able to do this year.” Even with the benefit of four Ohio State turnovers, the Ducks were held to their lowest point total of the season, four touchdowns below their average coming in. Oregon has done just about everything as it has blossomed into a national power

it again? I’ve been around coaching a long time — it’s hard to do that and it’s rare when it happens. So it just feels like we’re very, very fortunate that we’ve been able to find a way to put it together in this fashion.” When Carroll was asked in 2010 how soon he thought the Seahawks could be contenders, he wouldn’t give a timetable, because the competitor in him wanted to win from day one. And when the Seahawks became one of the NFL’s top teams in 2012, then champions a year later, he didn’t pat himself on the back for the quick turnaround of a franchise that had been 9-23 in the previous two seasons before his arrival, because in his mind, the winning hadn’t come soon enough. But with his team one home victory away from becoming the first team in a decade to play in back-to-back Super Bowls, Carroll couldn’t help but reflect on how well things have gone in the five years since he stood on a stage in a navy blue suit and silver tie talking about a new job that he believed presented “an

over the last two decades, but it will likely continue the search for its first national championship without Mariota. Barring a major surprise, the junior is likely to turn pro — though he wouldn’t talk about his upcoming draft decision after the game. Elliott scored the game’s last three touchdowns, finishing off the rout with a 1-yarder with 28 seconds left. While Elliott slipped and darted through the Ducks, Jones pushed them around and shook them off. When Jones surged and spun his way into the end zone with 4:49 left in the second quarter it was 21-7 Ohio State and the O! H! I! O! chant made the dome in North Texas sound like the horseshoe in Columbus. The Ducks were facing their largest deficit of the season. If there was any concern that fans wouldn’t travel to the championship game in the new postseason system, the packed house at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, awash in Buckeyes’ scarlet and Ducks’ yellow, put that to rest. The crowd of 85,689 was as charged as any BCS national championship game. The Ducks’ fans awoke early in the third quarter. Ohio State was driving on the first possession of the second half toward more points when Jones’ pass bounced off Jalin Marshall’s chest and into the arms of Danny Mattingly for Ohio State’s third turnover. Unlike the first two Oregon takeaways, the Ducks turned this one into points in a hurry. Mariota hit Byron Marshall on a slant and he streaked 70 yards for a touchdown, barely breaking the goal line before nonchalantly dropping the ball. Moments later, another Ohio State turnover. Jones looked a little bit like Florida State’s Jameis Winston in the Rose Bowl as the ball just slipped from his hands trying to throw under pressure. Oregon recovered in deep in Ohio State deep territory. The Buckeyes held and this time the Ducks sent Aidan Schneider out to kick a 23-yard field goal to make it 21-20. In the first half Oregon, which goes on fourth down — especially near the goal line — more than most teams, passed on the field-goal attempt on fourth-andgoal from the 3 and Thomas Tyner was stopped a yard short of the goal line. Suddenly, an extra three points looked as if it could come in handy for the Ducks. But by the time Elliott went in from 2 yards out with 9:44 left in the fourth to make it 35-20, it was moot. The rest of the night turned into a Buckeyes Bash.

extraordinary opportunity.” Back then, Carroll talked about how he had changed since his previous tenure in the NFL, saying, “I know so much more clearly where I’m coming from than I did then. I was not at my best in New York. I can’t tell you how far away I was then. I was not at my best in New England.” Five years later, Carroll is at his best, and the Seahawks have benefited in a big way. “This is as good as it gets, so I’m thrilled about it,” he said. “If you would have asked me in the middle of it, I would have said that it’s taking too long, because I’m extremely impatient. But now as you look back, OK we kind of washed out the first couple of years trying to get it going. “And we’ve had the opportunity to really experience the best of the NFL. Our guys are really getting the full experience of it. It’s wonderful to see these guys growing up, and find out what this thing is all about. “It’s about the hard work and the sacrifice and the giving to one another, and what you can get out of that when you really give of yourself. It’s been a wonderful experience for all of us and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com

Packers ready for rematch with Seahawks

Broncos, Fox agree to part ways

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

By Don Ruiz

By Arnie Stapleton

The News Tribune

Associated Press

GREEN BAY, WIS. — How long ago was the Seattle Seahawks’ season-opening win against the Green Bay Packers? Well, way back then long-gone Percy Harvin was Seattle’s leading receiver and second-leading rusher. Still, the Packers clearly remember the disappointment of the NFL season-opening 36-16 loss they suffered at CenturyLink Field way back on Sept. 4. And they believe what they went through that night can be useful in their NFC Championship Game rematch Sunday. “Anytime you have an experience to draw from, you have to do that,” Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said. “The opportunity to play in Seattle on Week One brought a lot of experience, a number of different things. The video will show you some of the same matchups that will occur come Sunday. The opportunity to play in that stadium for the first time — particularly your young players — the surface, all those things are important.” McCarthy spoke Monday afternoon, one day after his Packers advanced with a 26-21 home win over the Dallas Cowboys. And the coach said he spent Monday morning watching film of that previous game with the Seahawks. “There were some really good things that we did in that game,” he said. “I think there were some pivotal plays early that you wish you had a different result or things that we could have controlled ourselves that we could have done better.” McCarthy targeted a sequence late in the third quarter and early in the fourth. The Packers were trailing 20-10, but felt competitive and had possession at their own 10. Aaron Rodgers was in the shotgun, when Seattle’s Michael Bennett broke through and forced a fumble, which was recovered by tackle Derek Sherrod in the end zone for a safety. Down an additional two points, Green Bay punted, the Seahawks scored again, and suddenly the margin was 29-10. “I think that’s when the game got away from us,” McCarthy said. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards with two touchdowns. Harvin led Seattle with seven catches for 59 yards while also carrying four times for 41 yards. Harvin was traded to the New York Jets in mid-October. That move admittedly pleases Green Bay special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum. But the Packers also note that Wilson, Lynch and plenty of other weapons remain in Seattle. “Percy is a dynamic player,” McCarthy said. “We’ve seen a lot of Harvin over the years. But that’s really not what we’re focused on. ... They’re still a dynamic offense. I think Russell is playing outstanding, and Marshawn is still running the ball like he always has. This will be a big challenge for our defense.” So, citing no indication that Seattle has regressed, the Packers believe they have gotten better. They followed that opening loss with a win over the Jets and a loss at Detroit. But after losing two of their first three, the Packers went on to lose only two of their next 14. One of those came Dec. 14 at Buffalo, but they haven’t lost since. The Packers especially point to rookie wide receiver Davante Adams and rookie tight end Richard Rodgers as players who have grown since their professional debuts in Seattle. Each had touchdown catches Sunday against the Cowboys. “I think this team from Week One has grown up,” tight end Andrew Quarless said. “I don’t think it’s the same team. But probably (the Seahawks) too: I’m sure they’ve gotten better. But to see the growth and the resilience of this team throughout the whole season is a positive. “ The Packers also seem to like the idea of reversing an earlier result, and the challenge of dethroning a reigning champion. “There wouldn’t be a better way to go,” said receiver Jordy Nelson, who had a game-high nine catches in the opener at Seattle. “Obviously, it would be great to have home field. But to go and play the defending Super Bowl champions at their place, and to have that opportunity to knock them off: It’s a great opportunity. If we’re able to go do that and head to (Super Bowl XLIX in) Arizona, you can’t ask for a better way.” Extra points

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway is looking for a new coach after agreeing to part ways with John Fox following Denver’s latest playoff meltdown. Fox won the AFC West all four of his years in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in ugly fashion in the playoffs, culminating with Sunday’s 24-13 upset by Indianapolis. Fox might already have something in the works with another franchise — he didn’t shoot down a pregame report Sunday night that he could be available if the Broncos lost. Neither Fox nor Elway would say what was discussed Monday when they met other than it was time to split up. “It became clear that it was best for both the Denver Broncos and coach Fox to move on and make this change,” Elway said in a statement. So, Fox is out after going 49-22 in Denver, including the playoffs, following a 78-74 record in nine years with the Carolina Panthers, counting the postseason. Fox gathered his players at noon Monday but didn’t talk about his own future. Chris Harris Jr. said Fox’s message was “just that he appreciated everybody’s efforts. He loved us and everybody just be smart in the offseason and make sure you take care of your body to be ready to come back ready to roll when OTAs start.” Two hours later, Elway met with Fox and told the assistant coaches they remain under contract but were free to pursue jobs with other teams. The players had left when the news broke, and several reacted bluntly on Twitter. “Cold World ...,” wrote Demaryius Thomas. “Wow ...,” said Omar Bolden. “Damn,” tweeted Terrance Knighton. The Broncos went 8-8 in Fox’s first year, when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The stakes were raised when Denver won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes and replaced quarterback Tim Tebow in 2012. Manning was murky about his future Sunday night, saying he had to process this latest loss before deciding whether to play an 18th NFL season. He wasn’t in the locker room Monday. Elway thanked Fox for helping “establish a positive, winning culture for this team” and said he “deserves a lot of credit for the Broncos’ turnaround,” but added “there is still work to be done” to win a Super Bowl. Fox characterized his meeting with Elway as productive and honest and the two “mutually agreed that the timing was right for this decision.” “Although we came up short of our ultimate goal, I am proud of our team’s many accomplishments during these last four years,” Fox said in a statement. “It was an honor to coach the Denver Broncos, a first-class franchise with great fans and a winning tradition. “I am eager to continue my coaching career and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead,” Fox added. Fox became the only coach in NFL history to win a dozen consecutive divisional road games on his way to an unprecedented four straight AFC West titles in Denver. But the goal when Manning came on board was Super Bowl trophies. Instead, Manning is 2-3 in the playoffs with the Broncos. Elway brought Fox to Denver in the aftermath of the Josh McDaniels era, saying he was looking for someone who could breathe some positive vibes into a locker room that had been beaten down as McDaniels’ 6-0 start in 2009 turned sour and resulted in his firing midway through 2010. There are several teams looking for a new head coach. Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has a second interview set up with the Raiders, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase interviewed with the 49ers, Falcons, Bears and Bills, who hired Rex Ryan. He might also get a look from Elway now.

The Packers returned to practice in good health. No new injuries were reported after the Dallas game, and McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers (calf) felt better at the start of this week than he had at the start of the previous week. … The Packers have decided to change their usual travel schedule and fly into Seattle on Friday, a day earlier than usual. Then they will practice at the Seahawks facility in Renton on Saturday. “We evaluate every schedule, every practice,” McCarthy said. “We’re always looking to try to get better.”

Seahawks quarterback B.J. Daniels has spent the entire season on the team’s practice squad.

Seahawks activate Daniels Third-string quarterback B.J. Daniels could be used as a running back, receiver, kick returner ... or not at all. By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks promoted quarterback B.J. Daniels off of their practice squad Monday, filling a spot that opened with receiver Paul Richardson going on injured reserve because of a knee injury. The question now is whether or not the Seahawks also promoted running back, receiver and kick returner B.J. Daniels. While Daniels is listed as a quarterback, the position he played at the University of South Florida, he has practiced in recent weeks without the red jersey usually worn by quarterbacks to protect them from contact. And Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, perhaps to get the attention of the Green Bay Packers, was much more forthcoming about this roster move than he usually would be. “We’re really excited to do that,” Carroll said of promoting Daniels. “He’s been a guy that’s been impressive to us all year long. It’s a classic opportunity to reward a guy that’s just been competing his butt off. He’s going to help us in a number of spots. Of course he’s the third quarterback, but we’ll also see this week how he works to fit in on special teams. “He’s a backup returner for us, he can play running back and wide receiver as well. He’s been doing that all year, so he’s a very versatile guy for us to bring to life right now. More than anything it’s great to reward a guy that’s competed so consistently and so hard for us, so I’m excited to do that.” More often than not if the Seahawks are preparing to make an injury-related roster move, Carroll gives an answer along the lines of “We’ll let you know later in the week” if asked about what move is coming. So the fact that he outlined so many potential options

for his team’s athletic No. 3 quarterback could be a bit of gamesmanship in the buildup to the NFC championship game against the Packers. Coincidentally, the Seahawks have used an athletic backup quarterback in a non-traditional role in the NFC championship game before, with Seneca Wallace catching passes from Matt Hasselbeck against the Panthers nine years ago. Daniels, a seventh-round pick by San Francisco in 2013, spent part of last season on Seattle’s active roster before eventually landing on the practice squad. As for Richardson’s injury, Carroll noted that the rookie receiver has more than just a clean ACL tear, saying, “There’s a little bit of other stuff in there too. It’s a complicated issue. It wasn’t like the worst ever, but there’s some complications in there, they’ll take some time to figure out what’s next about it.” Even in a best case-scenario, ACL injuries take anywhere from six to nine months to heal, and considering this is Richardson’s second tear of the same ACL, and that there are other issues in his knee, according to Carroll, it’s very likely this will affect his availability for the start of next season as well. With Richardson out, fellow rookie Kevin Norwood will take on a bigger role, though Carroll said it won’t be as simple as just plugging Norwood into Richardson’s role. “It’ll call for Kevin Norwood to step up, which is another good call for us, we’re excited to see him play,” Carroll said. “He’ll do a really good job, we totally trust that he knows what’s going on and can make the plays. They’re (Richardson and Norwood) a little different in style, but we think he’s going to be a very effective player. We just haven’t seen a lot of him so that you

would know that, but we’re OK about that.” With Richardson out, the Seahawks also need a new kick returner, but Carroll gave no indication of who will take over, saying, “You’ll have to wait and see.” Doug Baldwin and Bryan Walters have both returned kicks in the past, so they would seem the most obvious replacements, though perhaps Carroll’s mention of Daniels could mean he’s an option too.

Unger and Maxwell on track to play Carroll said cornerback Byron Maxwell “seems fine today” after missing Saturday’s game due to illness. “I checked in with the trainers, and it seems like he’s recovered. He just had a bad, whatever it was, I don’t know, he had some issues. But he’s OK now.” It’s also good news on center Max Unger, who left with an ankle injury late in the game. “He looks good,” Carroll said. “I think he’s come out OK. We were very fortunate on that one.” Carroll said tight end Tony Moeaki should be back after missing Saturday’s game with a calf injury. The status of safety Jeron Johnson (elbow) remains up in the air, Carroll said.

Controversial call was heartbreaking, and correct If not for one of the most controversial officiating decisions of this NFL season, the Seahawks might be hosting the Cowboys this weekend. But what at first looked like a spectacular fourthdown catch by Dallas receiver Dez Bryant was overturned, helping Green Bay secure a victory. Like anyone else watching the game, Carroll had an opinion on the call. “I think it was a heartbreaking, proper call,” Carroll said. “In the old days, that catch would have just gone on and nobody would have talked about it, but technology caught it. That ball hit the ground and it moved. So I can see why they said it because you have to complete that catch. It’s a difficult pill to swallow I’m sure. But it was just a week ago where it kind of flipped, so you never know.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com

Bills officially hire ex-Jets coach Ryan Associated Press ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Rex Ryan is officially going from Broadway to Buffalo. The Bills announced in a news release Monday that Ryan has been hired to take over as coach. The news came a day after the former New York Jets coach tentatively accepted the Bills’ contract offer. Ryan replaces Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31. “Rex brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the position that we feel will be a tremendous benefit

to our players and the entire Bills organization,” owner Terry Pegula said in a statement released by the team. “He was very impressive during the interview process, as were many of the candidates to which we spoke. And we feel Rex is the best fit for our team.” The 52-year-old is a defensive specialist, and noted for a brash personality and having a deep loyalty to his players. Ryan had a 50-52 record, including 4-2 in the playoffs, in six seasons coaching the Bills’ AFC East rival. He was fired along with

general manager John Idzik following a 4-12 finish last season. A person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press that the Bills are finalizing contract discussions to hire Greg Roman as their offensive coordinator. Roman spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator, and was among the 12 candidates interviewed by the Bills last week. He is regarded as a good fit under Ryan, because the two share a similar runfirst philosophy.

(with) his steady improvement. ... He was challenged with the transition to college and he struggled at times (early in the season). Practice was tough, and he didn’t like not doing well. It wasn’t something he was used to. But he dealt with it, he kept working, he kept pushing, and we kept telling him, ‘You’re closer than you think.’” When backcourt starter Kevin Bailey missed eight games with an injury, “Jason took full advantage of the opportunity to come in and show what he could do,” Reveno said. “His rebounding and his defense have not been a surprise, and his ability to make smart offensive plays has really been good. ... He’s getting a good opportunity his freshman year and he’s making the most of it.” Todd says the transition from high school to college

“is huge. The size and the physicality of these guys is unmatched by anything you see in high school. In high school I was the biggest guy. I’d even play post sometimes. But I’m not even close to a post now. So the size, athleticism and strength is definitely one of the biggest adjustments I’ve had to deal with. And you have to adjust to how quick up and down (the court) the pace is. It’s definitely different from high school.” Midway through the season, the Pilots are 11-6 with a 2-3 West Coast Conference record. One of those league losses was to Gonzaga 10 days ago, a game in which Todd entered early in the first half and played 27 minutes with four rebounds and nine points, including a pair of 3-pointers. “I really like this team,” he said. “We’re

experienced, we have size, and we have athleticism at all positions. We realize it’s a very tough conference and that every game can go either way, so we have to take advantage of the games we should win, and then maybe try to steal some when we can. “We connect so well off the court,” he added, “and I think that helps our chemistry on the court.” Todd had “four or five” NCAA Division I scholarship offers by his senior season at Jackson, but took his only official recruiting visit to Portland. He was drawn by the family atmosphere among team members, his connection with the coaches, and his desire to stay in the Northwest. “I’m happy and blessed that I get to keep playing basketball,” he said. “And I know Portland is the right place for me.”
