Charges follow teen drinking party 4 boys are accused of felony sex crimes after prosecutors say they raped 2 girls who were incapable of providing consent because they were too drunk.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Prosecutors say two girls were raped at a juvenile drinking party over the summer, and now four teenagers are

charged with felony sex crimes. A boy, 17, is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl while the two were in the back of his pickup truck. A second girl, 16, was assaulted by three other teenage party-goers, according

to court documents. Prosecutors allege that the defendants had sex with girls who were incapable of providing consent because they were too drunk. Investigators recovered a photograph of one of the girls,

Detectives believe that text messages sent from Summer Smith’s cellphone to her mother were sent by someone else after she died. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Port of Everett has proposed significant changes to its Waterfront Place development that it believes will make it a much more attractive neighborhood. Waterfront Place is the current name of a proposed multi-use development on port property that has been in the works for 10 years. The plan would transform the pier between the North and Central Marinas, now

LAKE STEVENS — Detectives combing the area where human remains were located earlier this month also found blood-stained bedding, a broken knife, women’s clothing and paperwork belonging to a teenager whose family last talked to her in November. Police were notified by the medical examiner last week that the remains are of Summer Smith, 18. No cause of death has been released. Detectives spoke with Smith’s mother, who said she last heard from her daughter Nov. 19. She sent Smith a text message in early December, concerned that the two hadn’t communicated in a couple of weeks. She received replies but told detectives the tone and content seemed out of character for her daughter. One of the last message Smith’s mother received demanded she stop sending texts. She called Smith but was directly connected to voicemail until about Dec. 12 when the phone appears to have been shut off or taken out of service. Detectives obtained a search warrant for Smith’s phone records saying they believe someone other than Smith sent the messages. Evidence suggests that Smith died before that exchange happened, according to the search warrant. Police are investigating her death as a homicide. Smith’s skull and other bones were discovered Jan. 3 near the 12000 block of Seventh Place SE. A man hired to clean up around the property discovered the skull near some heavy brambles.

Work continues Jan. 8 on the South Terminal at the Port of Everett to drive steel piles into the seabed to strengthen a section of the terminal so it can handle larger roll-on/roll-off cargo. The work is part of a $3.8 million upgrade by the Port of Everett.

the buzz

EVERETT — Construction workers are driving massive steel piles deep into the seabed below the Port of Everett’s South Terminal as part of a $3.8 million upgrade. The improvements will allow the terminal to support the port’s behemoth mobile harbor crane and to handle heavier cargo that can be directly rolled on or off a waiting freighter. The terminal was built in the 1970s by Weyerhaeuser to handle logs. It can support up to 500 pounds per square foot. That might be enough for some of the farming machines that leave Everett bound for China. Or for the occasional Airstream trailer en route to a mining operation in Russia. But it is not strong enough to handle the heaviest roll-on/ roll-off cargo — the 30-foot-long

agricultural combines or tractors built like tanks, said Carl Wollebek, who overseas the port’s shipping facilities. A section of the terminal is being strengthened to support 1,000 pounds per square foot. “There’s only one other place we can do that,” on Pier One’s southside, which is also the port’s busiest terminal, he said. Like others in the shipping industry, he refers to such freight by its acronym: RORO cargo. The Port of Everett is a modest seaport with limited facilities. So accommodating multiple ships requires careful choreography. It doesn’t take much to create a traffic jam, forcing a ship to wait in Puget Sound until another exits. In between Pier One and South Terminal is Pacific Terminal. Two blue gantry cranes tower over the berth. They can clear out a container ship in a

few hours. But if there’s a RORO ship at Pier One, “we can’t get another container ship into Pacific Terminal,” which is directly to the south, Wollebek said. Upgrading South Terminal will make the port more efficient and make it easier to keep enough distance between ships, he said. The Port of Everett really got into the RORO business a couple of years ago after overhauling a former log berth at South Terminal. The port handles about 12 to 18 RORO ships a year, Wollebek said. Regular RORO shipments began in June 2012 with a vessel belonging to Russia’s Far Eastern Shipping Company.

‘In Dog We Trust’ accidentally on rug By Tamara Lush Associated Press

LARGO, Fla. — The Pinellas County Sheriff ’s Office in Florida has gone to the dogs. Well, at least its rug has. Department spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda said Wednesday that a new, $500 rug at the sheriff ’s administration building said “In Dog We Trust” instead of “In God We Trust.” The forest green rug with the sheriff ’s

yellow badge was in the entrance area for a couple of months when the error was discovered Wednesday by a deputy. Barreda says the error was made by the rug manufacturer and it’s in the process of being corrected. A second rug did not have the misprint. The rugs were rolled up and put away Wednesday. It’s not clear if the new carpet smell had worn off.

2 men reach top of Yosemite’s El Capitan in historic climb By Kristin J. Bender And Scott Smith Associated Press

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — A pair of Americans completed what had long been considered the world’s most difficult rock climb Wednesday, using only their hands and feet to scale a 3,000-foot vertical wall on El Capitan, the forbidding granite pedestal in Yosemite National Park that has beckoned adventurers for more than half a century. Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson became the first to free-climb the rock formation’s Dawn Wall, a feat that many had considered impossible. They used ropes and safety harnesses to catch themselves in case of a fall, but relied entirely on their own strength and dexterity to ascend by grasping cracks as thin as razor blades and as small as dimes. The effort took 19 days as the two dealt with constant falls and injuries. But their success completes a yearslong dream that bordered on obsession for the men. Caldwell was the first to finish Wednesday afternoon. He

waited on a ledge for Jorgeson, who caught up minutes later. The two embraced then sat down for a few moments, gathered their gear, changed clothes and hiked to the nearby summit. A crowd of 200 people gathered in the meadow far below broke into cheers when the men reached the top. Their relatives watched from the ground using telescopic monitors. Caldwell’s mother, Terry, said her son could have reached the top several days ago, but he waited for his friend to make sure they got there together. “That’s a deep, abiding, lifelong friendship, built over suffering on the wall together over six years,” she said. The trek up the world’s largest granite monolith began Dec. 27. Caldwell and Jorgeson lived on the wall itself, eating and sleeping in tents fastened to the rock thousands of feet above the ground and battling painful cuts to their fingertips much of the way. Both men needed to take rest days to wait for their skin to heal. They used tape and even superglue to help protect their fingertips.

Detectives later found two plastic trash bags discarded on some bushes nearby. The bags contained bloody bedding, a knife with a broken and bloody blade, screwdrivers, women’s clothing and paperwork for Smith. The contents were frozen together, indicating that

they’d been in the cold for an extended amount of time, sheriff ’s detective David Fontenot wrote. Earlier this week sheriff ’s detectives and hundreds of volunteers wrapped up their search for additional remains and evidence. They covered roughly 32 acres, expanding beyond the borders of the property. Access to the area where the skull and trash bags were found is limited, police wrote. Smith was listed as homeless in a police report

taken by Marysville police in May. A couple called 911 after waking up to find Smith asleep in their living room. The couple had left their garage door open. There were no signs that Smith forced her way inside. The couple reported that they confronted Smith about some missing medication and she admitted to swallowing the pills. The teenager doesn’t have any criminal convictions.

Prosecutors in August charged Smith with burglary. On Nov. 14 a judge ordered that Smith be evaluated to determine if she was competent to assist with her own defense. Her attorney told the court that Smith likely had a developmental disability. Smith bailed out of jail after the hearing. She would have been 19 next month.

Master plan details fairground upgrades By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

MONROE — Snohomish County wants to better harness the popularity of equestrian events at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds. That was a major theme Wednesday as leaders discussed revamping the county-owned facilities along U.S. 2 at Monroe. The county touts the fairgrounds as the most heavily used public horse facility in the state, though there’s room for improvement. For the near-term, that could mean patching leaky roofs on a few buildings, putting in better arena sand and eventually having

enough space to host two horse shows at the same time. “We have good assets, but they need to be maintained,” county parks director Tom Teigen told the County Council. The starting point for Wednesday’s discussion was a $100,000 fairgrounds masterplan study completed last year by Keffer/Overton Associates of Des Moines, Iowa. The grounds are best-known for the Evergreen State Fair, which runs each year in late August through early September. The 12-day event has generated all of the fairgrounds profit in recent years. Officials have long sought to make the nearly

200-acre facility a steadier yearround draw. Common events during the other 353 days of the year include car races, 4-H classes and swap meets. “On weekends, the facility is full,” fairgrounds manager Hal Gausman said. “It’s a good problem to have. People want to come out and use our space.” To make the setting more attractive there’s talk of beautifying the tunnels at the main entrance. Same goes for the stretch of U.S. 2 leading into Monroe, something that would benefit the city and local businesses. “Right now, it just looks like a highway corridor,” said Una

Wirkebau, executive director of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. “There’s nothing special about it.” It would be better to greet fair visitors, as well as tourists and others who pull into town, “that welcome, warm-and-fuzzy” feeling, Wirkebau said. Other potential upgrades are a permanent restaurant and a sound wall buffering the fairgrounds from U.S. 2 traffic noise. Some even have suggested that the county, the city of Monroe or some other entity buy the general aviation airport next to the fairgrounds. The owner of First Air Field has previously dangled a $6 million asking price. Should

that happen, the 32-acre property might be converted to something other than an airport. The proposed changes won’t happen all at once. In fact, some could take decades. The county once estimated that a complete redo of fairgrounds facilities would cost $67 million over 40 years. A 100,000-square-foot exposition center has been under discussion since the 1960s. It’s not going to get built anytime soon. The most recent big addition was the 33,000-square-foot Gary D. Weikel Events Center completed in 2011. See PLAN, Page A4

EDMONDS — The election of former City Council member Strom Peterson to the Legislature has left an opening on the sevenmember council. Anyone interested in running for the Position 2 seat must apply by Feb. 2. “I’ve heard the names of several good candidates who were considering applying,” Mayor Dave Earling said. “I think that’s very important because the council has a lot of issues in front of it.” All council members serve atlarge and are paid a base salary of $1,000 a month for meetings that are held Tuesday evenings. Candidates must be registered to vote within the city and have been a resident for at least a year. Whoever is appointed will serve until the November general election. The application asks candidates to answer questions on See POSITION, Page A4

ne might think state lawmakers representing Snohomish County routinely break bread to sift out the causes and concerns on which they’ll unite in a legislative session. But you’d be wrong. Attempts to bring everyone together mostly fizzle out. On that rare occasion in recent years when a majority wound up in the same room, fireworks erupted, preventing agreement on any substantive matter except adjourning. As a result, around the Capitol where perception drives behavior, it’s long been perceived that Snohomish County lawmakers don’t speak for the county. And the question of who does isn’t easily answered. In two weeks, another try to come up with an answer will be made. Democrat Rep. June Robinson of Everett, one of the delegation’s

JERRY CORNFIELD newest members, and Republican Sen. Kirk Pearson, Monroe, one of its nicest veterans, are organizing a pre-dawn meeting in a conference room on the first floor of the state Capitol. The purpose, according to an email Pearson sent to fellow senators, “is for those of us representing Snohomish County to come together and discuss issues of importance to our part of the State.” “We’ll see who gets up and comes,” Robinson said Tuesday. “I think it’d be a great

opportunity to see where we agree and, even if we don’t agree, how we can focus our efforts to support our local community.” Robinson said when she entered the Legislature a year ago she was surprised the county’s contingent didn’t regularly assemble and assert its collective political muscle the way it seemed their peers in Pierce County and regions of King County did. Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, has had a similar feeling since he arrived in Olympia four years ago. Snohomish County lawmakers possess the numbers, the talent and the gravitas to directly influence decisions but their lack of synergy undermines that clout, he said. “I’m really hoping people show up this time,” he said. “We need to work together.” The county is the state’s thirdmost-populous with residents

served by 21 lawmakers elected from seven diverse legislative districts. Its delegation, because of the numbers, looms as a threat to lock arms to pass or defeat measures though it never has. There are reasons the delegation has never behaved as a coalition or caucus. Partisanship is a hurdle as much as personality differences among members of the same party. Historic rivalries exist between interests in north and south county as well as urban and rural communities. And finding a day and time when most, if not all, of the 21 people can attend is a practical barrier. There is a price to pay for failing to overcome the hurdles. While it’s hard to pinpoint where the lack of unity harmed the county’s interests, it’s clear when internal divisions cost it opportunities. Consider what travel on U.S. 2

and cost a half-million dollars, Teigen said. Over the past few years, the fair has averaged nearly $4.9 million in annual revenues. Year-end figures for 2014 weren’t yet available. Non-fair activities have lost an average of $27,000 in recent years. Overall, the fairgrounds typically generate $500,000 to $800,000 in yearly profit that can be reinvested in projects such as the building upgrades now under discussion. A key part of fairgrounds operations is the Evergreen Speedway. Any major changes there must be coordinated with High Road Promotions, the Snohomish-based company that operates the track. This year’s annual fair is scheduled from Aug. 27 through Sept. 7. The county also has planned a spring carnival for April 24 to 26. Activities are to include amusement park rides, a crafts fair and more.

New issue surfaces at state’s first charter school By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — Washington’s first charter school may have a new issue to deal with. The director of the State Charter School Commission said at a commission meeting Wednesday that during a review of the Seattle school’s efforts to improve its operation he discovered the school’s board includes two people who are related to

each other. State law doesn’t prohibit individuals who are related from serving on the same board, but it isn’t a best practice, said commission Executive Director Joshua Halsey. He believes the commission should consider adopting a policy on the issue and he will be drafting a proposal. The related members of First Place Scholars’ board are Dawn Mason, the board president, and

Anisa Mason. The mother and daughter are serving two-year terms that end in August 2016. A request for comment from Dawn Mason was not immediately returned Wednesday. Their relationship was pointed out to the commission by the school and Halsey said they do not want to jump to any conclusions about First Place being intentionally nefarious. “We don’t want to hang them out to dry. This may

have been an oversight,” Halsey said. “I’ll be curious to hear what they say.” Halsey also reported First Place Scholars is making progress toward fixing problems the board previously identified at the Seattle school. The school was placed on probation in December for not meeting all the requirements of its charter. Problems identified at the school included not keeping the commission informed of school board

actions, not properly providing special education and not giving proof that every staff member had completed a criminal background check. Commission staff will be attending school board meetings and making frequent visits to First Place to make sure they are in compliance. The commission has hired someone to work with the school to make sure children with disabilities are getting the services

they need, Halsey said Wednesday. The commission is in charge of approving and overseeing most of the state’s charter schools. It has approved seven other charter schools, with six scheduled to open in fall. All those schools are on track to open as planned, Halsey said. Spokane Public Schools, which can authorize charter schools, has approved two more schools scheduled to open in 2015.

Report’s conclusion: Less prison for property crime By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — A new report announced by Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday recommends Washington put more property-crime offenders on supervision instead of relying exclusively on prison. The report cites FBI statistics that say Washington has the nation’s highest rate of property crimes, such as burglary and auto theft, and says the state’s prisons are filled slightly beyond their maximum capacity of 17,423 inmates. State officials expect the prison population to grow by 6 percent over the next

decade, and expanding prison space to match projects to cost $291 million in construction and operation costs by 2021. “This tells us our incarceration-only strategy is not working and needs to change,” Inslee said at a news conference Wednesday with Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Madsen and other officials. The report says property-crime offenders often serve short prison sentences with little follow-up to prevent recidivism and recommends a new requirement to serve a year of state supervision after release. Washington is the only state in the

country where supervision is not already an option as a sentence for most people convicted of property offenses. Changes to state law reduced the number of people on supervision from a peak of 65,549 in 2003 to 15,395 in 2013, a drop of 77 percent, by removing all but high-risk offenders from supervision outside prison. Washington’s propertycrime rate increased 1 percent from 2009 to 2013, a period when the national rate decreased by 11 percent. An outsize number of property crimes are reported in some of the state’s largest counties. In 2013, King County, which has 29 percent of Washington’s population, reported 33 percent of the property crimes. Spokane County, with 7 percent of the state population, reported 11 percent of the state’s property crimes and 17 percent of the felony propertycrime arrests. “This is one place where we are clearly behind the rest of the country,” Inslee said, “so it’s time to catch up.” The report, funded by federal and private grants and issued by Inslee’s Justice Reinvestment task force with the nonprofit Council of State Governments, recommends that lawmakers instead spend

Gov. Jay Inslee (second from left) listens in Olympia on Wednesday as State Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Madsen offers her thoughts and support of the governor’s Justice Reinvestment Taskforce report, which outlines a number of strategies to address criminal recidivism, public safety and the state’s high property-crime rate.

$90 million over the next six years to increase law enforcement, supervision and victim-support programs. Its policies would add an estimated 2,000 nonviolent property-crime to supervision programs by 2021, and reduce the expected prison population growth by 900 inmates. “Prison is an effective program to prevent crime,” said Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam. “It’s just a very expensive effective way to prevent crime.” Along with supervision

and treatment programs for those convicted of property crimes, the report proposes a $4 million statewide competitive grant program to help law enforcement agencies build strategies to fight property crime, including data analysis to identify high-crime areas for increased patrolling. It also recommends a new state fund for emergency assistance to help victims of property crimes pay for related expenses, such as towing and other fees to recover a stolen car, and a renewal of funding

for victim-notification programs in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. The bipartisan task force agreed to develop most of its recommendations, which also include a change in the courts system’s sentencing guidelines and giving counties incentive to expand pretrial screening programs that check for risk of flight or rearrest, into bills to be considered during the 2015 session. Nicholas Brown, general counsel to Inslee, said a bill proposing the new policies is expected next week.

By Kimberlee Kruesi Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Republican leaders announced a change of course Wednesday and approved the introduction of a bill that would include sexual orientation and gender identity protections in the state’s Human Rights Act. The House Ways and Means Committee, made up of Republican legislative leadership, voted 6-1 to bring the proposed legislation to a full hearing. The legislation, commonly called the “Add the Words” bill has been denied a public hearing for nine consecutive years.

“This is really a very simple bill,” said House Minority Leader John Rusche, who introduced the measure. “It enhances Idaho’s freedom, it protects against discrimination in education, employment and public accommodation. It simply states that sexual orientation, or gender identity, cannot be used to deny rights and opportunities available to all Idahoans.” Only House Majority Assistant Leader Brent Crane of Nampa voted against the bill, saying he voted to protect marriage between one man and one woman. The bill does not address same-sex marriage, but Crane says that

the two issues are closely connected. “If you believe, as I do, that traditional marriage holds this society together, this is the first toehold to peel away traditional marriage,” Crane said, adding that he doesn’t see any compromise where an anti-discrimination law could be passed that also protected religious freedom. Gay rights advocates have long pushed for such legislation, and last year dozens of protesters were arrested after taking part in a series of civil disobedience actions at the Idaho statehouse when lawmakers again refused to hold a hearing on the matter.

“If it takes multiple days, that’s fine,” said House Speaker Scott Bedke. “We want to hear everyone that wants to testify, on both sides. I have full confidence that this will be done in a way that’s befitting the issue and befitting the legislative process.” However, while getting a full hearing is the furthest the effort has ever gotten in the Statehouse, the legislation faces an uphill battle passing among conservative GOP lawmakers who control both chambers. Republican leaders have promised a full hearing but not its passage. The Idaho Human Rights Act was created in 1969, banning discrimination based on race, sex, color, religion and national origin in housing, public accommodations, education and employment. In the years since, additional protections have been added to Idaho law, including prohibitions on employment discrimination against people older than age 40 and prohibitions on employment and housing discrimination against those with disabilities.

prosecutor Laura Twitchell recently charged the teens with indecent liberties, accusing the boys of having sexual contact with the girls. The charging documents, however, allege that the suspects engaged in sexual intercourse and committed the more serious crime of second-degree rape. The teens have pleaded not guilty. They were released on personal recognizance. The Herald is not naming them because they are charged as juveniles. Hearings are scheduled later this year to determine if the cases will remain in juvenile court. “Under the statute, a hearing is mandatory because of their ages and the crime they’re charged with committing,” Twitchell said. She declined to say whether her office will pursue moving the cases to adult court. The Snohomish County sheriff’s office investigated the incidents. Deputies were called around 1 a.m. July 19. They received a report that a teenage girl had been sexually assaulted at a house party. While still on the scene gathering information about that case, they learned of another girl who reportedly had been

Port officials plan to continue upgrading South Terminal by replacing its rail spur, which has warped and is unusable. “We’re basically keeping up with anticipated growth” in cargo tonnage in coming years, Wollebek said.

sexually assaulted at the same party. Prosecutors requested that The Herald not publish where the party happened in an effort to protect the identities of the girls. Witnesses later told police that a boy, 17, approached people at a bonfire, telling them he had sex with a girl who was passed out in his pickup truck. One witness reported that the boy said he didn’t think the girl was OK, Twitchell wrote. Deputies were told that the girl had been extremely intoxicated and unable to make decisions. Investigators recovered a picture someone had taken of the girl. She appeared to be passed out in the back of a pickup truck. Detectives interviewed the boy, who allegedly said he didn’t notice the girl was passed out until after he had sex with her. He reportedly said he was scared, so he asked people at the party for help, Twitchell wrote. The girl later spoke with investigators, saying she had been drinking vodka and smoking marijuana at the party before she passed out. She said the boy is an acquaintance and she didn’t consent to sex. Meanwhile, witnesses told police that a 16-yearold girl was raped by three boys while they were in a tree house. The witnesses reported seeing the boys with the unclothed

girl. Other witnesses told police the boys bragged about having sexual intercourse with her. Witnesses told police that the girl was incoherent, unable to dress herself or stand up. She had to be carried down from the tree and driven to a hospital. The girl was unable to undergo a sexual exam for several hours because she was unresponsive, Twitchell wrote. Tests showed she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.267 — more than three times the legal limit to drive a car. Deputies heard from a witness who said one of the boys uploaded a video to Snapchat showing the girl and the suspects. The girl reportedly appeared passed out. Snapchat allows users to share photos, videos and other files with people of their choice, but only briefly before the information is automatically deleted. Another witness said she found a picture of the unclothed girl on one of the suspect’s phones. She told deputies she deleted it. Court papers are silent on what steps, if any, investigators have taken trying to recover those files. Detectives interviewed the three boys. One was 16 and two were 17 at the time. All three allegedly admitted that they had some form of sexual contact with the girl, the prosecutor wrote. Their descriptions about

what happened in the tree house differed. One suspect reportedly told police he didn’t think the girl knew what she was doing, Twitchell wrote. He explained that she had consumed “like a whole bottle of Smirnoff” vodka. One boy reportedly admitted that he took photographs of the girl while they were in the tree house. The girl later told detectives that she didn’t remember being assaulted. She said she didn’t consent to the sexual activity. The suspects don’t live at the party location. Police say the homeowners were not present. They are not expected to face any criminal charges. There wasn’t any information that they furnished juveniles with alcohol or knew about the party, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. In both cases, the defendants were ordered not to have any contact with the girls. It is unclear if the girls attend the same schools as the suspects. A judge ordered that the three suspects in the second case not to have direct contact with each other. Two of the boys attend the same school and are allowed “incidental” contact because they are in some of the same classes. Diana Hefley: 425339-3463; hefley@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ dianahefley.

composed of vacant lots, parking, and marine businesses. In its place would be a development featuring between 330-660 residential units, up to 156,000 square feet of space for marine sales and service businesses, and up to 513,000 square feet of office, retail and other commercial space, including a hotel and several restaurants. Some of the changes include removing an extension of 13th Street to run through the heart of the property, instead creating a loop. A two-acre park at the western tip of the wharf would provide a green public space. A pedestrian and bike path would run around the edges of the development next to the water, with several vistas with interpretive signs, said Terrie Battuello, the port’s chief of business development. The first phase of construction, which could begin in 2016, would be on the part of the project called “Fisherman’s Harbor,” the southeastern part of the property between Marine View Drive and the Central Marina. It would have a retail and hospitality focus as well as a wharf for commercial fishing boats. Subsequent phases would build out the park areas on the circumference and start to fill in some of the commercial and residential sections toward the center of the property. A public hearing and approval of the amended project are scheduled for the council’s Jan. 21 meeting. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Historic City Hall building, 3002 Wetmore Ave. The Everett City Council was generally supportive about the port’s changes when they were introduced at its Jan. 7 meeting, but several councilmembers expressed concerns about having to approve the update so quickly. Battuello explained there were concerns about missing next year’s construction window. “We do have developers who are ready to close on this project and start construction by 2016, so I have to make a deal,” Battuello said.

House funds Homeland Security GOP bill rolls back Obama’s executive actions on immigration By Erica Werner Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Shunning a White House veto threat and opposition within their own party, House Republicans approved legislation Wednesday to overturn President Barack Obama’s key immigration policies and expose hundreds of thousands of younger immigrants to expulsion from the U.S. The 236-191 vote came on a broad bill that would provide $39.7 billion to finance the Homeland Security Department through the rest of the budget year, legislation that lawmakers of both parties said was sorely needed to pay for counterterrorism, cybersecurity and other priorities at a moment when the Paris terror attacks have underscored dire threats. Democrats accused

Republicans of putting that money at risk by attaching veto-bait amendments on immigration, and some Republicans voiced the same concern. But House GOP leaders and most of their rank and file accused Obama in turn of reckless and unconstitutional actions on immigration that had to be answered. “This executive overreach is an affront to the rule of law and to the Constitution itself,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. “The people made clear that they wanted more accountability from this president, and by our votes here today we will heed their will and we will keep our oath to protect and defend the Constitution.” But Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said the Republicans were simply pandering to the far right.

“Shame on Republicans for attacking the Latino community,” Sanchez said. “Republicans are consciously targeting millions of families who work hard, contribute to our communities and are just trying to give their children a chance at the American dream.” One of the immigration amendments, approved 237-190, would undo executive actions that Obama announced in November to provide temporary deportation relief and work permits to some 4 million immigrants in the country illegally, mostly people who have children who are citizens or legal permanent residents. The amendment also would cancel earlier directives to immigration agents aimed at giving them discretion in focusing deportations on criminals. A second amendment would

delete Obama’s 2012 policy that’s granted work permits and stays of deportation to more than 600,000 immigrants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children under age 16. That measure passed narrowly, 218-209, as 26 of the more moderate Republicans, some representing large Hispanic populations, joined Democrats in opposition. The underlying bill passed on a mostly party line vote, with 10 Republicans voting “no” and two Democrats voting “yes.” But even with Republicans in control of the Senate, the bill faces tough sledding there. Republicans are six votes shy of the 60-vote majority needed to advance most legislation, and some GOP senators have argued that the Homeland Security bill shouldn’t be the vehicle for a contentious debate on immigration.

French newspaper publishes again By Elaine Ganley and Jamey Keaten Associated Press

PARIS — Parisians lined up Wednesday to empty the newsstands of the first issue of Charlie Hebdo, a week after Islamic extremists attacked the satirical newspaper’s office, and French justice officials began cracking down by arresting dozens of people who glorified terrorism or made racist or anti-Semitic remarks. The editors of the publication again put a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover, and it quickly sold out by early morning around the capital and elsewhere. Disappointed buyers were told to come back Thursday when more of the increased print run of 5 million copies will be available. A leader of Yemen’s al-Qaida branch officially claimed responsibility for the attacks by two gunmen that left 12 dead at the weekly publication, saying in a video posted online that the slayings came in “vengeance for the prophet.” The newspaper had received repeated threats for lampooning Muhammad. A third attacker killed five other people, bringing the total number of dead in the Jan. 7-9 spasm of violence to 17 before all the gunmen died in police raids. Since the attacks, France has deployed 10,000 troops and 120,000 security forces around France. The police and soldiers moved to quash any racist remarks or praise for terrorists. At least 54 people were arrested for hate speech or other acts insulting religious faiths, or for cheering the men who carried out the attacks. They included four minors.

Obama to give paid parental leave to federal workers WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Thursday will order federal agencies to provide at least six weeks of paid parental leave to employees and call on cities, states and Congress to provide similar leave to millions of other working Americans. Obama also will call on the new Republican-led Congress to pass the Healthy Families Act, which would allow millions of Americans to earn up to seven days a year of paid sick time. Politifact in 2011 rated Obama’s promise to require that employers provide seven paid sick days per year as a promise broken and noted that if the Healthy Families Act couldn’t “come to vote during the previous session of Congress, when Democrats held strong majorities in both chambers of Congress, it’s even more unlikely to pass through the currently Republican-controlled House of Representatives.”

Secret Service job shuffle Four of the highest-ranking Secret Service executives have been reassigned following security mishaps and scathing reports questioning leadership within the agency, the Secret Service said Wednesday. The assistant directors for investigations, protective operations, technology and public affairs have all been reassigned within the Secret Service. Details of their new posts were not released Wednesday. The reassignments are the biggest shift in Secret Service leadership since former Director Julia Pierson was forced out last year.

New U.S. media guidelines The Justice Department on Wednesday announced revised guidelines for obtaining records from the news media during leak investigations, removing language that news organizations said was ambiguous and requiring additional levels of review before a journalist can be subpoenaed. The updated policy was released two days after the Justice Department abandoned efforts to compel a New York reporter to testify in the trial of a former CIA officer accused of disclosing classified information.

French President Francois Hollande (third from left) walks with Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian (left) and other military officials during a visit to the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle on Wednesday off the coast of Toulon, southern France. France announced Wednesday it was sending an aircraft carrier to the Mideast to work more closely with the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants.

Inciting terrorism can bring a five-year prison term — or up to seven years for inciting terrorism online. The new issue of Charlie Hebdo features the prophet, a tear rolling down his cheek, holding a placard that says, “Je Suis Charlie.” The saying has swept France and the world, with the irreverent newspaper being embraced as a symbol of freedom of speech. Prime Minister Manuel Valls held up his copy after the weekly Cabinet meeting — but strategically placed his hand over the prophet’s face. Muslims believe their faith forbids depictions of the prophet, and some reacted with dismay — and occasional anger — to the new cover. Some who had supported Charlie Hebdo after the attacks felt betrayed and others feared

the cartoon would trigger yet more violence. Defending his caricature of the prophet on the latest cover, cartoonist Renald Luzier argued that there should be no exceptions to freedom of expression. Egypt and Iran condemned the “provocative” publication. President Francois Hollande, speaking aboard the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to members of the military, said he was sending the warship to the Middle East as part of the ramped-up effort to fight terrorism. The situation “justifies the presence of our aircraft carrier,” Hollande said. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, one of al-Qaida central’s most active affiliates, posted an 11-minute video on the group’s Twitter account. A top commander, Nasr al-Ansi, warned

of more “tragedies and terror” in the future. Al-Ansi said AQAP “chose the target, laid out the plan and financed the operation.” He said the radical Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in September 2011, had arranged the attack. But a high-ranking French intelligence official told The Associated Press that French authorities see the claim as “opportunistic,” and that AQAP appears to have served as an inspiration — not an orchestrator — of the attacks. U.S. intelligence officials have said they have no evidence AQAP coordinated the attack or knew of it in advance. French police say as many as six members of the terror cell may still be at large.

10 killed when prison bus strikes train Associated Press

ODESSA, Texas — A prison bus skidded off an icy highway, slid down an embankment and collided with a passing freight train Wednesday, killing eight inmates and two corrections officers, including the bus driver, authorities said. The overpass on I-20 was slick with ice Wednesday morning when the Texas Department of Criminal Justice bus left the road in Penwell, just west of Odessa, according to Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson. The prisoners, who did not have seat belts, were handcuffed together in pairs, officials said. Some of them were ejected from the bus after it struck the train, said Trooper Elizabeth Barney of the Texas Department of Public Safety. “It’s as bad as you can

imagine,” Odessa Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Kavin Tinney told the Odessa American newspaper. “In 32 years it’s as bad as anything I’ve seen.” The Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed the 10 deaths in a statement,

adding that four prisoners and one corrections officer were injured. A spokeswoman for Medical Center Hospital in Odessa said four of the injured are in critical condition and one is in serious condition. Jason Clark, a Department

of Criminal Justice spokesman, said the bus was new and had been placed in service only this past summer. It was taking the inmates from the Middleton prison in Abilene to the Sanchez prison in El Paso, which is about 250 miles west of where the accident happened. The prisoners did not have any leg restraints, said Jason Heaton, agency director for the region. Only the driver’s seat had a seat belt, he said. The vehicle did not have seat belts on the bench-type seats where the prisoners were seated. The Union Pacific freight train with four locomotives and 58 cars came to a stop soon after the crash. None of the cars derailed, but two containers at the rear of the train were damaged, said Mark Davis, a railroad spokesman. No Union Pacific employees were injured.

Pa.: Jail burns; inmates OK A large fire tore through a nearly 140-year-old prison in Sunbury on Wednesday, forcing the evacuation of more than 200 inmates.

California: Cosby accuser A model and her attorney accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault at a Playboy Mansion party in 2008. Chloe Goins, 24, said in Los Angeles on Wednesday that during the party, Cosby drugged her drink and she passed out, and that when she regained consciousness later he was on top of her. Though Cosby faces accusations of sexual assault by more than 20 other women dating back 40 years, Goins’ claim is the first that could fall within California’s statute of limitations.

AROUND THE WORLD Indonesia: AirAsia plane fuselage, wing are found A Singaporean navy ship has found the crashed AirAsia plane’s fuselage, a 100-foot-long section with a wing attached, in the Java Sea, authorities said Wednesday. Singapore Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said Indonesian search officials have been notified so they can begin recovery operations. The plane carrying 162 people disappeared from radar Dec. 28 less than halfway into a two-hour flight from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Many of the victims are believed to be entombed in the main section of the aircraft’s cabin.

Brazil: Medical marijuana Brazil on Wednesday approved the use of a marijuana derivative to treat people suffering from severe epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia, among other disorders.

House votes to ease Wall Street rules By Marcy Gordon Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House voted Wednesday to ease the landmark law reining in banks and Wall Street, advancing a key Republican priority more than six years after a financial crisis brought on the Great Recession. The vote was 271-154 on legislation pushed by the newly bulked-up Republican majority in the House. Approval of the bill came swiftly in the second week of the new Congress despite a veto threat from the Obama White House. The measure now goes to the Senate, where it will face strong opposition from liberal Democrats. In the House, 29 of 188 Democrats, including Derek Kilmer and Rick Larsen of Washington, joined the near-unanimous 242 Republicans to vote for the measure. The bill alters sections of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial

overhaul. That law had tightened government oversight of banks and financial markets with an eye toward preventing another crisis and taxpayer bailout of banks.

At the height of the financial crisis in late 2008, the government stepped in to rescue crippled banks — including the largest Wall Street institutions — with

hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Most notably, the measure passed Wednesday would give U.S. banks two extra years — until 2019 — to ensure that their holdings of certain complex and risky securities don’t put them out of compliance with a new banking rule. With the Republican push, the legislation in the House bypassed the customary legislative slog of committee work and revisions. It likely won’t move through the Senate as quickly. While the Republicans now control the Senate as a result of November’s elections, GOP senators would be more likely to work on compromises with their Democratic colleagues and to put the legislation through a process of hearings and debate. Some Senate Democrats began raising objections Wednesday as the House acted. See BANKS, Page A10

Apple, Google wage suit settled Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A revised settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit alleging Apple and Google conspired with other Silicon Valley companies to block more than 60,000 high-tech employees from getting better job offers. The terms of the new agreement weren’t disclosed in a letter filed Tuesday with an appeals court in San Francisco. Donald Falk, a lawyer who filed the letter on behalf of Google Inc., declined to comment Wednesday. The new settlement comes five months after U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh rejected an earlier deal that would have required Apple Inc., Google, Intel Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. to pay $324.5 million to resolve a lawsuit alleging the companies secretly agreed not to recruit each other’s workers. Koh concluded the evidence in the case warranted a payment of at least $380 million. The new amount in the settlement is expected to be filed with Koh’s court “imminently,” according to Falk’s letter. The settlement notice See WAGES, Page A10

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE REGULATION

Pesticide rules nation’s strictest California clamps down on the use of chloropicrin, a pesticide used in strawberry and tomato fields. By Scott Smith Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. — California farmers now must abide by the nation’s strictest rules for a widely used pesticide in a change designed to protect farmworkers and people who live and work near agricultural fields but is likely to raise prices on produce. The restrictions announced Wednesday target chloropicrin, a pesticide injected into the ground before planting crops such as strawberries, tomatoes and almond orchards. In recent years, the chemical has caused

hundreds of people to suffer from irritated eyes, coughing fits and headaches, state officials said. The new regulations surpass standards required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Brian Leahy, director of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, said Tuesday that the higher standard is needed in California, the nation’s leading agricultural producer and most populated state, where farms are often next to people. Costs are sure to rise for farmers, who will pass it along to consumers, but Leahy said it is worth it. “It is burdensome,” Leahy said. “But if we’re going to use these tools, we’ve got to ensure that they’re used as safely as possible.” Under the new regulation, farmers are limited to applying the pesticide on up to 40 acres

in one day, a reduction of 75 percent. It also expands the distance between fields and human activity — in some cases to double the distance. Farmers who use upgraded tarps to cover their fields while applying the pesticide can follow less stringent regulations, said officials. Farmers use about 5 million pounds of the pesticide a year, most heavily in the Central Valley counties of San Joaquin and Fresno and along the coast in Monterey, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Ventura counties. The state has been talking with growers for more than a year about the new standards and will immediately begin implementing them, with full compliance See FARMS, Page A10

Republicans in Congress adamantly oppose Obama’s health law, so some have been working to starve the IRS of funds just as its role in implementing the law ramps up. It won’t work, Koskinen said in an interview. The agency, he said, is required by law to help implement the health program. “The only places we have discretion are in information technology, tax enforcement, customer service.” The spending cuts could actually cost the government money, Koskinen said. Having fewer enforcement agents will cost at least $2 billion in lost tax revenue this year, he estimated. Service problems at the IRS will also make it harder for well-intentioned taxpayers to comply with the law, said Olson, who is the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent office within the IRS. “Without adequate support, many taxpayers will be frustrated, some will make potentially costly mistakes, others will incur higher compliance costs when forced to seek information and assistance from tax professionals,” she

was initially filed in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals because Apple, Google and the other companies were challenging Koh’s ruling tossing out the previous settlement. Lawyers representing the high-tech employees didn’t immediately respond to Wednesday requests for comment. The lawsuit, filed in 2011, attracted widespread attention because it provided a

said. “Still others will simply give up and not file.” Olson released her annual report to Congress on Wednesday, less than a week before the start of tax filing season on Tuesday. In it she raises concerns about the IRS’ ability to help implement the health law. She said the agency was unable to adequately test the accuracy of some information received from health insurance exchanges. Also, delays affected the training of IRS employees. Koskinen said the IRS has increased efforts to educate tax preparers and the public about the tax implications of the health law, devoting a section of the agency’s website to answering questions.

Koskinen’s advice to taxpayers with questions: Don’t call the IRS unless you absolutely have to. For the first time, tax filers will have to report information about their health insurance during the previous year. For most people who get health coverage through work or through government programs, it will mean simply checking a box. Others who got insurance through state and federal marketplaces will have to file a new form, while people who received subsidies will have to provide more detailed information. People who didn’t have health insurance last year face fines unless they qualify for a waiver, which requires more paperwork.

Wall Street helped trigger the 2008 crisis. The Obama White House issued a veto threat, saying the bill “would weaken and undermine” the DoddFrank law. Referring to the proposed two-year delay for certain securities under the Volcker rule, the White House said in a statement, “taxpayers should not have to wait that long to have limits in place that protect them from risky practices.”

behind-the-scenes peek at the tactics of Apple’s late CEO, Steve Jobs, and the power he wielded over technology executives, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Depositions and internal emails cast Jobs as the ringleader of a scheme designed to corral talented computer engineers and applications designed at their current jobs. The alleged collusion prevented already high-paid tech workers from being offered even more money from other employers, according to the lawsuits.

Besides Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe, the lawsuit alleged Intuit Inc., Pixar Animation Studios and Lucasfilm had joined in the “no-poaching” agreement over a period that spanned from 2005 to 2009. Intuit, Pixar and Lucasfilm reached a $20 million settlement that Koh approved last year. The complaint initially sought $3 billion in damages. Under antitrust law, that bill could have been tripled to $9 billion had a jury sided with the workers represented in the case. The lawsuit had been scheduled to go to trial in April.

California farmers fear that tighter restrictions will increase the costs of their fruits and vegetables, potentially driving the market out of state or the country. Almond and grape growers use chloropicrin once every 20 to 30 years when they plant a new orchard or vineyard, but California’s strawberry growers use it each season.

California produces 88 percent of the nation’s strawberrycrop,supporting a $2.3 billion industry, said Carolyn O’Donnell, a spokeswoman for the California Strawberry Commission. It will cost the state’s strawberry growers an estimated $20 million to comply with the standards, she said. “Farmers and their families live near their farms and work in their fields and care deeply about protecting the safety of their workers, neighbors and communities,” O’Donnell said.

Pass Arlington school bus levy and 2017, levying 43 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value in 2016 and 41 cents in 2017. For a median priced home, $184,300 in the Arlington School District, the levy would add $79.25 and $75.56, respectively, to a taxpayer’s property tax bill. A similar measure in November sought a 49-cent per $1,000 levy but fell about 200 votes short, receiving 48 percent approval. A simple majority is needed to pass the levy. It’s a fair question to ask how the district ended up with the oldest fleet in the county. Andrea Conley, the district’s public information coordinator explained that growth in the district required it to build a new high school and two new elementary schools in recent years. Not wanting to load tax bills with a bus levy on top of school construction bonds, the district chose to wait until the bonds were closer to being paid off, she said. Approval of the levy would

accomplish three things: provide better value for the district and its taxpayers, cleaner air and most importantly, a safer ride for the 4,800 fleet miles driven daily, taking students to and from school, field trips and sporting events. While the district does its best to maintain its buses, those buses more than 12 years old, beyond the state’s recommended service life, break down more frequently and cost more than two-andhalf-times more to maintain than its newer buses. And money spent to maintain the older buses is that much less that can be spent in the classroom. Those buses that have exceeded the state’s recommended service life, 12 years for larger buses, eight for smaller, also are considered fully depreciated by the state and are no longer eligible for state depreciation refunds, funding which the district has used to add buses to its fleet as the district’s student

population grew. Of the school district’s fleet, 25 buses are fully depreciated and five more are on their final year of depreciation. Advances in pollution control mean new buses will help keep the air cleaner in Arlington. The older buses emit twice the pollution per mile as a semi-truck. Buses built to meet the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s 2010 standards are 95 percent less polluting than buses built before 2007 and are 60 times cleaner than those built before 1991. Regarding safety, new buses offer higher padded seat backs to protect children, more emergency exits, stronger body construction, better visibility for the driver, better traction control and anti-lock brakes. In the interests of taxpayer value, cleaner air and student safety, we urge a yes vote on Feb. 10 by Arlington School District voters to keep the wheels on the bus going round and round.

through the Highway 99, I-5 and I-405 corridors. Not only has it not been done but has been repeatedly blocked as special interest groups (sellers of cars, gas and road construction along with associated tax revenue) who battle to keep every car they can on the roadways. Light rail is being implemented on a small scale because no other solution exists to solve traffic congestion. I used to support regional transit because I thought we would get a light-rail system, instead we got buses, parking lots and tolled HOV lanes. 3. The sales tax is only regressive to those whose household income is proportionally dependent on taxpayer-provided benefits. If government was truly efficient, the rate of taxes should go down as the population and productivity increases. But no, as the population increases, productivity decreases and taxes increase due to a greater percentage of the population that becomes non-productive. It is the fundamental problem with democracy that voters get to vote on how to spend other people’s money. 4. Oso landslide and Stilly Valley Youth Project. Can we say that building houses in the floodplain of a river valley where the river was undercutting a hill that fell into the valley, was a bad idea and people who live in those areas should move? 5. Firearm safety. A thinly veiled attempt to progressively create crime out of gun ownership. Brought to you by the same people who think society is better served by being drunk and stoned. Here is my new mantra “If you can’t be trusted to “bear arms,” you can’t be trusted to vote. It is why we have the 2nd Amendment. 6. Long term care. Solution, create a substantial tax incentive for families to maintain a two and three generation household of family members. It is sad state when our elderly

die alone in a nursing faculty as opposed to at home surrounded by family.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MOTOCROSS

Let community of riders ride Regarding the approval, and the subsequent appeals of an off-road motocross track near Granite Falls: As a dirt bike rider, I say just let us ride. They already closed Reiter Pit! Gary Strode owns the property; he should be able to use it how he wants! Besides, riding isn’t as bad as people think. It’s much more “earth friendly” than buildings and home developments, which seem to be overly plentiful. Some people argue that it tears up the ground. Yes, in some places it does. But since when is moving some dirt super harmful? It’s just the same as digging a hole, which doesn’t seem to be a big deal. I love being out in the country when I ride. Plus, the small “community,” of sorts, that allterrain-vehicle riders make is so much fun. I’ve never seen so many people who don’t know each other at all, be so friendly and fun and connect together. I have never seen so many people stop to see if everyone is OK, and offer their help, than dirt bike riders. The friendly environment that is among riders is very rare these days; in our general society; people have become scornful, rude, self-centered, inpatient, unfriendly and unwilling to give very much of their own “precious” time to help others if it doesn’t directly benefit themselves. I truly believe that the riding community adds a great deal more than it detracts. Weston Reed Snohomish

IN OUR VIEW | School bus safety

We can appreciate a school district that takes care of its equipment, and in the case of school buses, gets every mile possible out of its fleet, but there is such a thing as the end of the road for a vehicle, especially those that went into service during the Bush administration — the George H.W. Bush administration. The Arlington School District will return to the voters on Feb. 10, requesting a two-year, $3 million levy that will allow the district to purchase 26 new buses, replacing about half of a fleet that currently is the oldest school bus fleet in the county, as Herald Writer Kari Bray reported Wednesday. The district’s oldest bus has been in service for 28 years, since 1987. And it’s not an outlier; 15 of the district’s buses have been in service for 20 years or longer. It’s highest mileage bus, in service since 1991, has logged 366,028 miles. The levy, which would expire after two years, would raise $1.5 million each in 2016

■■DRIVING HAZARD

Enforce state’s mud-flap law I just replaced my car’s windshield — the third rockdamaged windshield I have replaced in three years. Here is the scenario. Gravel trucks litter our highways with rocks. Pickup trucks and SUVs catch the rocks in their deep tire treads and throw them backward into car windshields at bullet speed. This scenario results from weak laws and lax law enforcement. Many states have laws that require gravel trucks to cover their loads with tarps. Washington does not. Washington does have a law (RCW 46.37.500) requiring that vehicles have bumpers or mud flaps that extend to the middle of the rear axle, which would prevent rocks from being thrown rearward. However, virtually every pickup truck and half of the SUVs sold in Washington lack the required mud flaps. These vehicles are illegal the second they leave the dealer’s lot. Why are dealers allowed to sell vehicles that cannot be legally driven on state roads? It is hardly likely that this law will be enforced, since even the four-wheel drive vehicles driven by the Washington State Patrol fail to comply with our state’s mud flap law! Bad laws and bad law enforcement cause millions of dollars of damage to car windshields each year in Washington. Small wonder that there are more windshield repair shops than Starbucks in our state.

Conservatives find fondness for France

here is a certain je ne sais quoi in conservatives’ criticism of the Obama administration over last week’s terrorist attack in France. A decade ago, Republicans in Congress were renaming French fries “freedom fries” and French toast “freeDANA MILBANK dom toast” because of that country’s refusal to support the Iraq war. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld belittled the “old Europe” French, President George W. Bush mocked an American reporter for speaking French to the French president, and conservative critics called the French “weasels,” “appeasers” and worse. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, was ridiculed by the Bush administration for being “too French” and looking French, and his fluency in French was a liability in the campaign. And now, that very same Monsieur Kerry, the secretary of state, and his boss, President Obama, are being condemned by conservatives for ... not being nice enough to the French. Quelle horreur! The cause celebre this time is the failure of the Obama administration to send anybody of higher rank than the U.S. ambassador to attend Sunday’s march in Paris showing solidarity against the terrorists. “Our president should have been there, because we must never hesitate to stand with our allies,” proclaimed Sen. Ted Cruz, the Republican agent provocateur from Texas. Fox News’s Greta van Susteren said the absence was “embarrassing” and that “Obama should not have snubbed Paris.” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,— like Cruz a would-be presidential contender— declared it “a mistake not to send someone.” (For the record, neither Cruz nor Rubio attended the march.) Media outlets joined the cri de coeur: Politico called it “Barack Obama’s French kiss-off,” and the New York Daily News said Obama and his lieutenants “let the world down.” Sacre bleu! Largely absent from this condemnation of the American government’s slight of the French were the French themselves. French President Francois Hollande said Obama had been “very present” in the response to last week’s attacks on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish market. This is because the failure to send a high-ranking official to the march was in the category of faux pas. Sending the president across the ocean on 36 hours’ notice to an open-air rally of hundreds of thousands of people was never a possibility, for security and logistical reasons. But Vice President Biden could have gone; instead, the closest he got to Paris was dining at the French restaurant Le Diplomate in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the attack. At least Attorney General Eric Holder, already in Paris, might have dropped by. Officials I spoke to said it was a simple screw-up: They didn’t understand how significant the event would be, with leaders of some 40 countries in attendance. But the notion that Kerry, of all people, was slighting the French is a bit incroyable. The son of a diplomat, Kerry has close family in France and learned the language at a Swiss boarding school. After the initial massacre in Paris last week, he addressed the shooting at an appearance with the Polish foreign minister, in both English and in French. Not too long ago, Kerry’s Francophilia earned him ridicule. Tom DeLay, a House Republican leader, would greet crowds by saying, “Hi. Or, as John Kerry would say, ’Bonjour.’” But now Kerry is being called insufficiently pro-French, snubbing them because he had the nerve to be in meetings in India on Sunday. It didn’t matter that he had signed a condolence book at the French Embassy (as did Obama) or that he’ll be in Paris on Thursday and Friday, at the end of his current trip. Neither did Obama get credit for his call to Hollande on the day of the attack, the various statements he has made about the attack or, of most importance, all the counterterrorism help the U.S. government is giving France. The conservatives are guilty of a bit of inconsistency, if not hypocrisy, in criticizing the Obama administration for snubbing a people they not long ago called cheese-eating surrender monkeys. But, ça ne fait rien. It’s tres bien that Francophobia has waned on the American right, and that the land of Lafayette, socialist government and all, is again in conservatives’ good graces.

Avian flu outbreak prompts warning Associated Press SPOKANE — Backyard poultry producers in Washington are being told by state officials to monitor their flocks after a deadly avian flu outbreak in the Tri-Cities area. About 700 chickens, turkeys, ducks and guinea fowl in two backyard flocks were affected by the outbreak earlier this month. The Spokesman-Review reported Wednesday that some of the birds died from the fast-acting H5N2 avian influenza, which poses little risk to people. The remaining birds were destroyed to prevent the disease’s spread. Contact with the feces of infected wild ducks is believed to

have caused the outbreak. “These avian influenzas are often lethal,” said Dorothy MacEachern, the Spokane Regional Health District’s epidemiologist. “They can easily be transmitted, particularly in free-ranging backyard flocks that aren’t protected from contact with wild birds.” Scientists are trying to determine whether the Tri-Cities outbreak was caused by the same H5N2 virus responsible for a December outbreak in southwest British Columbia that led to nearly 250,000 chickens and turkeys being destroyed. “Although it’s the same strain, we won’t know if it’s the same virus without genetic testing,”

said Hector Castro, a spokesman for the Washington Department of Agriculture. Last week, federal researchers worked with hunters at the McNary National Wildlife Refuge east of the Tri-Cities to test ducks and geese for avian flu. Samples were taken from about 100 birds shot by hunters at the 15,000-acre refuge on the confluence of the Columbia and Snake rivers. Earlier testing of wild birds had focused on Western Washington, after a northern pintail duck in Whatcom County tested positive for H5N2 avian influenza in December. The H5N2 strain contains gene segments both from a deadly Eurasian avian flu and from avian flu more typically

found in North America. The detection in the pintail duck was the first time the H5N2 strain had been discovered in Washington, and the Tri-Cities outbreak was the first detection in the state’s domestic poultry, Castro said. The state Department of Agriculture has ordered a quarantine of at least 240 days for a 20-mile zone around the Tri-Cities properties with the infected flocks. The quarantine prohibits the movement of eggs, poultry and other poultry products outside the zone. A joint team of state and federal technicians worked to disinfect the two properties last week. Castro said that generally involves

deep-cleaning equipment, but it can also require taking down outbuildings. The Canadian government last week banned imports of birds, raw poultry and poultry products from Washington and Oregon. China has also banned all U.S. poultry, eggs and poultry products. Officials said there is no immediate public health threat. Avian flu does not affect meat or eggs, which are safe to eat. But concerns remain about wild birds spreading the virus. Given the popularity of backyard chickens, the recent outbreak is something that small producers and hobby farmers should be aware of, Castro said.

New Whatcom judge from Nooksack Tribe BELLINGHAM — The chief judge for the Nooksack Indian Tribe, Raquel Montoya-Lewis, will be sworn in Jan. 16 as a Whatcom County Superior Court judge. The Bellingham Herald reported that she’ll be the first Native American judge for the court. Montoya-Lewis is wrapping up her duties at the tribal court and says she also will resign as an associate professor at Western Washington University where she taught courses in the legal system and cultural and gender identity. The 46-year-old is a graduate of the University of Washington Law School and previously served as a judge for the Lummi Nation.

SeaTac: Airport eyes expansion options

The aircraft carrier USS John Stennis (above) is shown in the harbor near Bremerton on Dec. 1. The carrier sailed from Naval Base Kitsap to Naval Magazine Indian Island on Monday to take on ammunition before a training mission in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego. U.S. Navy Quartermaster 1st Class Dave Macaraeg (left) demonstrates how the Seattle Seahawks’ 12th Man flag is hoisted up and down while it is flying on the Stennis. The Everett-based Nimitz moved to Bremerton on Tuesday for a 16-month overhaul.

Officials at Sea-Tac Airport are looking at possible expansion to handle expected growth in the number of airplane passengers in coming years. Managing Director Mark Reis told KING-TV the options include adding nearly three-dozen gates to the north satellite or building a second terminal to the north with three concourses. The airport also could add a satellite terminal to the south, expand the A concourse or bump out the front of the main terminal. “It’s not going to be cheap,” Reis said. The Port of Seattle commission will soon be presented with options. Reis expects a plan to start coming together this fall that would undergo environmental review and a review by the Federal Aviation Administration. From Herald news services

Study questions college performance incentives By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — A businessinspired approach for rewarding community colleges for student outcomes has not led many more students to stay in school and earn associates degrees in Washington state, a new study has found. The study published Wednesday in the journal Education Evaluation and Policy Analysis may disappoint more than a dozen states that reward colleges for performance and the others currently considering such a program. Lead researcher Nicholas W. Hillman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison cautioned against over-interpretation of his study that compares Washington state college outcomes to similar states without performance fundingsystemsforcommunitycolleges. “This study can’t tell you

On the Net College Degrees Study: tinyurl.com/mkws3dg

exactly what is working and why; it can only point to broad trends,” said Hillman, an assistant professor of educational leadership and policy analysis, who focuses his research on how policies affect education access and success. “There may be innovative practices on some campuses that hold a lot of promise.” The Student Achievement Initiative was started in Washington in 2007 to help improve student success. In the past, colleges were funded based on student enrollment numbers. Officials at the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges point out that the period studied was mostly during the recession and degree

production has gone up since 2012, which was the last year of data used in the study. Between 2013 and 2014, the system reported growth in workforce-related degrees such as in applied bachelors, which went from 192 to 244 degrees, and in applied associates’ degrees, which increased from 10,298 to 10,403. Other degrees and certificates went down during that period. Washington revised its performance based funding system in 2013 to emphasize math credits, student retention and pathways toward longer degrees, said David Prince, policy research director at the state college board. Under the newer system, most of their money still comes from enrollment numbers, but more than $10 million was allocated by the Legislature for rewarding successful colleges during the past two years. During the recession, that money was cut, but the program continued.

Hillman and his fellow researchers — David Tandberg at Florida State University and Alisa Fryar at the University of Oklahoma — decided to look at Washington because it has had some of the most experience with this idea. He acknowledged that outside factors, like the cut in state dollars, could impact the results of his study but overall, he said the performance system did not appear to be inspiring better results than in states without such a system. The study compared increases in the number of degrees and certificates earned in Washington and other similar states, as well as student retention rates. Further research could help clarify what part of the program is effective, Hillman said. Some positive results may also take more time. “The evidence doesn’t point to that direction very convincingly, but it’s possible,” Hillman said.

Performance funding is just one tool to encourage colleges to focus attention on degree completion and student achievement, said Jan Yoshiwara, deputy director of the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. “In order to actually improve student achievement, colleges have to change their practices,” Yoshiwara said. “We think it’s working.” Performance funding is particularly popular in state governments right now, in part because the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other foundations like the idea and also because there is pressure to do something to get more students to graduate with a college degree. But Hillman believes it’s too simple an approach to a complex issue. He says other states would be better off working with individual colleges to come up with more nuanced plans to help students succeed.

3-point shooting at center of UW’s woes The Huskies have shot just 30.6 percent from beyond the arc in their first 15 games. By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — When they lose, the Washington Huskies frequently point to what their coach calls “slippage,” typically on the defensive end of the court, as the primary cause. Slippage is a broad term used most often by coach Lorenzo Romar to describe missed assignments, slow rotations, uncontested outside shots and the like. So, during UW’s current fourgame losing streak, there has been plenty of that. But there’s a simple explanation for why the Huskies find themselves in the unenviable position of needing near-perfect defense to beat each opponent. They can’t make 3-pointers. Or, at least, they haven’t. Through their first 15 games, the Huskies have converted just 30.6 percent of their 3-point tries, a number that ranks 11th in the Pac-12 and, as it currently stands, would be the worst 3-point shooting mark by any of Romar’s Washington teams. The previous low point was in the 2009-10 season, when UW shot 33.6 percent from beyond the arc. That team, led by Quincy Pondexter and Isaiah Thomas, advanced to the Sweet 16. This team, which was ranked 13th in both major polls fewer than three weeks ago, hasn’t won since Dec. 22 and badly needs a victory on Thursday against the rejuvenated Oregon State Beavers. OSU (11-4, 2-1 in Pac-12) beat conference favorite Arizona last week, and allows opponents to shoot just 28.4 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. There is some luck associated with such a number, but it’s still not great news for a UW team that has missed 43 of its last 57 attempts from 3-point range — each of those in close, winnable games that wound up as losses. Romar was optimistic about his team’s shooting abilities when it began practicing, and said after poor shooting in UW’s first two games that “after about four or five games, if we are not making 3s and we’re shooting 20 percent,

Quarterback Russell Wilson (3) threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 31-17 playoff win over Carolina on Saturday.

Calm in the storm

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was seemingly born clutch

ENTON — One of Russell Wilson’s favorite cliches, and there are many, is that he tries to be the calm in the storm. That has been a focus of his for so long that, when asked Wednesday if he could every think of a time when the moment was too big for him — perhaps in high school or college — the Seattle Seahawks quarterback was at a loss to come up with a single example.

“I hope not,” Wilson them or you fall off,” Wilsaid. “I can’t really son said. “And for me, remember.” I look forward to those And while that is a moments.

While the thought of a grade“When you’re in those school-aged Wilson picturing moments, you either live for a random third-down situation

While Wilson has played incredibly well throughout his three-year career, he has been even better in big moments.

Packers’ QB Rodgers limited with left calf injury By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

GREEN BAY, WIS. — Aaron Rodgers has the most famous calf in Wisconsin, which is saying something. The Green Bay quarterback’s injured left calf has been the topic of coast-to-coast conjecture in advance of the Packers’

NFC Championship game on Sunday in Seattle. The interest is especially high among Packers fans, who have reached out with their own home treatment ideas. “I appreciate all the suggestions,” Rodgers said. “I know people have the best intentions when they’re sending stuff in, whether it’s a phone call — and

I have heard some of your suggestions, so thank you — or an email, which sometimes are passed along to me. They want me to get back on the field. This time of year when there’s an injury, there are a lot of experts out there.” There was one treatment Rodgers did cop to — almost. Asked if he’s used acupuncture,

he responded, “Possibly, yes. I do everything that the medical staff tells me to do, and I supplement a little bit.” Rodgers practiced Wednesday, but his participation was limited. He says he feels “pretty similar” to the week before. That wasn’t great. He admits See PACKERS, Page C4

BOTHELL — Glacier Peak came into Wednesday night’s game against Lynnwood riding a school record 12-game winning streak. After facing the No. 1 3A team in the latest Associated Press poll, the Grizzlies now find themselves starting back at zero. In a highly anticipated matchup, Lynnwood defeated No. 2 Glacier Peak

58-33 in a Wesco 3A South contest at Lynnwood High School that featured two of the top teams in the state. The loss was Glacier Peak’s first of the season. “We played them well for the first half and then I thought we came out a little bit flat in the third quarter and I knew they were going to come out after us,” said Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hill. “... We turned the ball over, uncharacteristically, from what we did in the first half and they

capitalized on it. They go from being up three or four to being up 10.” The Grizzlies kept it close through the first half, exchanging leads with Lynnwood and trailing 26-23 at halftime. In the second half it was a different story. The Royals turned up their defensive pressure and allowed just 10 points in the final two quarters, pulling away from Glacier Peak. “They played us very tight in the first half,” said Lynnwood head coach Everett Edwards. “In the second half See ROYALS, Page C3

Sportsmen’s Show opens in Puyallup next week PICK OF THE WEEK | Local trout fishing It probably won’t beat the Seahawks’ playoff game this weekend, but local trout fishing might be a good activity for the “other” weekend day. You know — get outdoors, breathe deeply, quit worrying about the final score. A lot of lakes could qualify, but a good choice might be any of the year-around lakes that received the benefit of fall and winter rainbow plants by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Lake Tye, on the west side of Monroe, was planted with 2,000 rainbows on Nov. 3; the Gissberg Ponds, adjacent to I-5 at Smokey Point, each got 1,400 trout on Nov. 12 (the north pond is open to juveniles only); and Lake Goodwin received 5,000 rainbows on Dec. 23.

ike an old friend dropping by to pet the dog and say “hey,” the Washington Sportsmen’s Show returns to the Fair Events Center in Puyallup on Jan. 21, bringing with it all the good stuff you’ve come to expect over the years. The largest outdoor adventure show in the state, the event offers seminars, action-packed attractions, and great values on fishing and hunting gear, clothing, camping equipment, RVs and sport-fishing boats. The show runs through Jan. 25. Hours are noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $12 for adults; $5 for juniors ages 6-16, and free for children ages 5 and under. Twoday passes are available for $18. For information on online ticket purchases and discounts, visit www.thesportshows.com. Show parking at the fairgrounds is free. Popular returning attractions include the cowboy fast draw, the indoor steelhead river, the Northwest tour of big game animals, and the head and horns competition. The whole family will enjoy the camp cooking tent and the free kids’ trout pond. And as usual, there will be a full complement of guides, outfitters, and reps from leading hunting and fishing lodges and resorts. The cowboy fast draw allows show-goers of all experience levels to step up to a special range with classic Colt .45-style six-guns, vintage holsters and special wax ammo; bring your smart phone to capture images of some of the largest elk ever taken in Washington and Oregon at the Northwest tour of big game animals; learn new features and techniques for better

For anglers, the show brings new experts and returning favorites presenting a wide range of seminars. Big names include Fishing hall of famer Buzz Ramsey, fly-fishing expert Jim Teeny, “Tuna Dog” Del Stephens, Joe Rotter of Red’s Fly Shop, kayak fishing visionary Richard Wark, author David Paul Williams, Day One Outfitters owner Cody Herman, and walleye guru Keith Jensen. For the hunters, there’s Scott Haugen (blacktails), Glen Berry (elk calls), Nate Brence (backcountry gear and scouting), R.J. Marquart (bird dog tips), and Sam Kolb (introducing kids to hunting). Here’s a list of a few of the seminars available: Top skwala patterns for the Yakima River; fly fishing for western smallmouth bass; Pacific Northwest kokanee fishing; trophy blacktails; bobber

The most interesting of all, though, is Cranberry Lake in Deception Pass State Park. It was planted four times: on Nov. 3, with 2,000 fish; on Nov. 10, with 5,500 fish; on Nov. 18, with 6,000 fish, and on Nov. 19, with 1,500 fish. And unlike the other lakes that all got “catchables” of 8 to 10 inches, Cranberry received a nice mix of catchables and half-pounders. Most of those trout are still swimming, and there’s always the chance of hooking one of the lake’s big multi-pound browns. There’s a boat ramp on the north side of the lake, a fishing pier on the east side, and fairly good bank access along the north shore. — Wayne Kruse

Local salmon The hot item among local blackmouth fishermen right now is the Friday opening of Marine Area 9, arguably the best salmon fishing in our backyard. Nick Kester, Snohomish resident and skipper with All Star Charters, said Area 10, just to the south, was holding a lot of chinook earlier that were just under legal length. Those fish should have grown into keepers by now, he said, and Area 9 should be roughly the same. “There was also a scattering of nice 10- and 12-pounders in Area 10, mixed in with the smaller fish,” Kester said. He called the Friday morning incoming tide “perfect” for Pilot Point, Point No Point and Double Bluff, and then on the ebb for the east side of Possession Bar and the “tin shed” on the middle bar. Kester said he probably would be fishing along the Kitsap Peninsula, starting at Point No Point and trolling south to Pilot Point. There are two good bars on that run that should produce under these conditions, he said. For terminal tackle, he likes green

M’s acquire pitcher from Cubs By Bob Dutton

ERA over 22 starts in 2013 at Double-A Jackson. Kickham was the Giants’ sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft and pitched briefly in the big leagues in each of the past two years — going 0-3 in 14 games. He allowed 37 earned runs and 54 hits in 30⅓ innings. Huijer, a 21-year-old right-hander, was 6-9 with a 5.08 ERA last season in 28 games (24 starts) at Lo-A Clinton. He signed with the Mariners in 2011 as a non-drafted free agent. Huijer spent the 2013 season with the Everett AquaSox, posting an 8-2 record and a 3.03 ERA.

The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Mariners added another left-handed pitcher to their 40-man roster Wednesday by acquiring Mike Kickham from the Chicago Cubs in a trade for minor-league pitcher Lars Huijer. Kickham, 26, was 8-8 with a 4.43 earnedrun average last season in 27 starts for Triple-A Fresno in the San Francisco organization before going to the Cubs in a Dec. 23 waiver claim. The Cubs designated Kickham for assignment on Jan. 9 to create a roster space after signing free-agent outfielder Chris Denorfia, who closed out last season with the Mariners. Similarly, Seattle needed to clear space on its roster for Kickham and did so by designating left-hander Anthony Fernandez for assignment. Fernandez, 24, made just five starts last season at Tacoma before undergoing Tommy John surgery on his elbow. He was 9-8 with a 4.43

Number changes Manager Lloyd McClendon finally has a new uniform number after surrendering 23 to newcomer Nelson Cruz. McClendon will wear No. 21, which was previously worn by Kendrys Morales. Outfielder Stefen Romero and bench coach Trent Jewett also are switching numbers. Romero is changing from No. 7 to No. 17, which formerly belonged to first baseman Justin Smoak. Romero’s old number is going to outfielder Seth Smith, acquired by the Mariners last month from San Diego for reliever Brandon Maurer.

Braves agree to trade Gattis to Astros Any remaining question about whether the Atlanta Braves are in a rebuilding mode was answered Wednesday when they agreed to trade slugger Evan Gattis to the Houston Astros for three prospects, a person familiar with the situation said. The Braves will get two of the Astros’ top10 prospects — right-handed pitcher Mike Foltynewic and third baseman Rio Ruiz — in the package for Gattis. Atlanta also gets right-handed pitcher Andrew Thurman, 23.

or white glow Kingfisher Lite spoons in yellowtail, white lightning or Irish cream. Two critical points, however: Because of recent flood conditions on area rivers, the saltchuck is dirty, and Kester said it would be a good idea to use the most “glow” you can find on your lure. The other point, he said, is that bait in the area tends to be small right now, so stick with 3½-inch spoons. Kester said he probably would start in 90 feet of water and gradually work deeper. Meanwhile, a good blackmouth season continues in the San Juan Islands, where the state Department of Fish and Wildlife cut the chinook limit from two fish to one on Monday. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said the move has happened before, but “not this early.” Action, he said, was centering around Thatcher Pass, Lopez Flats, and the Eagle Bluff area, and that dirty water is not a problem in the islands. Debbie Sandwith, coordinator for the Feb. 5-7 Roche Harbor Classic blackmouth derby, said the limit cut to one chinook wouldn’t make any difference to participants in the event. The big fish will still be the big fish, and the total boat weight will be less, but will still be the total boat weight.

New director Dr. Jim Unsworth, 57, deputy director of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, was chosen Saturday as the new head of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. The state Fish and wildlife Commission selected Unsworth from a list of eight candidates and four finalists. Unsworth has formally accepted the job, but no turnover date was set. The new director — who says he is an avid hunter and fisherman — has spent more than 30 years in wildlife management with the Idaho agency, and has served as deputy director since 2008. He previously held several management positions for the department, including wildlife bureau chief and state big game manager. He will manage a department with more than 1,600 employees and will be paid $146,500 annually. Unsworth holds a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management from the University of Idaho, a master’s in fish and wildlife management from Montana State, and a doctorate in forestry, wildlife and range sciences from the University of Idaho. He and his wife, Michele, have four adult children. For more outdoor news, read Wayne Kruse’s blog at www.heraldnet. com/huntingandfishing.

Tetzlaff named GM of AquaSox By Nick Patterson Herald writer

EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox have a new general manager. Danny Tetzlaff is the new general manager of the short-season singleA Northwest League team, the team announced Wednesday. Tetzlaff will oversee the day-to-day operations of the AquaSox. He has no influence on determining Everett’s roster, as that’s decided by the AquaSox’s parent club, the Seattle Mariners. The hiring of Tetzlaff fills the void created when Everett’s top two frontoffice executives, executive vice president Tom Backemeyer and vice president of corporate partnerships Brian Sloan, both stepped down to pursue other opportunities. Tetzlaff brings 13 years of experience running baseball teams to the Sox. Most recently he served as general manager of the Yakima Valley Pippins, a collegiate summer team in the West Coast League. He also spent three years with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the Class 3A International League, and he was named the 2006 Pioneer League Executive of the Year when running the Casper Rockies. “After previously working in the Northwest League with the Yakima Bears, I am excited and humbled to have this amazing opportunity with the Everett AquaSox,” Tetzlaff said in a press release. “I am looking forward to being a part of the tradition already in place in Everett, and making summers at Everett Memorial Stadium even more memorable in 2015.”

PULLMAN — Alex Grinch will take over as the new defensive coordinator at Washington State and will try to make the Cougars defensive as potent as its offense. Mike Leach dismissed defensive coordinator Mike Breske and outside linebackers coach Paul Volero six weeks ago, following WSU’s season-ending loss to Washington in the Apple Cup. Grinch will coach WSU’s secondary in addition to serving as the defensive coordinator. “We are excited to have Alex (become) part of our football family,” said Leach in a press release. “He is a passionate, tireless worker who brings tremendous excitement and aggression to our team. He has a track record of developing young talent, which will be of

The Washington Huskies could be about as busy as the Seattle Sounders in the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday. UW midfielder Cristian Roldan and left back Andy Thoma are expected to be among the top handful of picks once the draft begins at 9:30 a.m. PST in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Sounders could have to wait considerably longer, as they hold the Nos. 27 and 40 picks in the two-round draft. Seattle sent its firstround pick — 19th overall — to Toronto last season

we were able to get out and cause a couple turnovers and get out in transition and score some buckets. But it was a grind. The score does not show how competitive the game was. Coach Hill had his girls ready to go.” Lynnwood started the second half with a 13-2 run to begin to pull away and continued to add to its lead throughout the final two periods as the Royals (4-0 league, 13-0 overall) raced to their 13th victory of the season. All of which have come by 17 or more points. “I’m happy that it didn’t end up being a close game. I’m glad that we were able to stretch it out because that helps me with my heart and helps with all the hair that I have,” Edwards said with a laugh. “It was a situation where the girls really fought in the second half and we competed in the second half.

for goalkeeper Stefan Frei. The Reds subsequently shuffled that pick along to Colorado. Unless they trade up, Seattle’s initial pick will be the second-rounder they acquired from Chivas USA along with Shalrie Joseph. Sporting director Chris Henderson said the club goes into the draft looking for defensive depth and a third goalkeeper — perhaps simply guys who could develop on the new Sounders 2 USL-Pro team. “We have to see at our picks what’s on the board, but I think (we could find) a younger goalkeeper, someone who can develop and push (incumbent Stefan Frei and newly

While at Missouri Grinch drew praise from Pinkel for his recruiting abilities, particularly in the Southeast where Georgia was his primary recruiting responsibility. Prior to that he recruited Texas for Wyoming. In Laramie he coached two freshman All-Americans and six All-Mountain West Conference honorees. From 2005-08 Grinch coached at New Hampshire, serving first as cornerbacks coach and then as the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. The Wildcats made it to the FCS quarterfinals three times while Grinch was at UNH. He coached four players that received postseason honors, including cornerback Corey Graham, the 2007 fifth-round selection of the Chicago Bears. While at UNH he spent one season on the same staff as current Philadelphia

Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who is also quoted in the school’s release. “He’s the real deal!” said Kelly. “He’s intelligent, articulate and has an unbelievable work ethic. He is one of the best teachers I’ve been around.” Now he will be tasked with improving a WSU defense that ranked No. 97 nationally in total yards allowed. The Cougars struggles on defense were the primary reason WSU slid to a 3-9 record one year after playing in a bowl game, despite having the country’s No. 7 total offense. It is not yet known what defensive scheme Grinch will bring to Pullman, although it is believed that one of the criteria used during the search was the use of an attacking defense that utilized blitzes and stunts to create pressure on the quarterback.

great benefit to our defense.” Grinch comes to WSU from Missouri, where he spent three years as the Tigers safeties coach. Prior to that he spent three seasons as the secondary coach at Wyoming. Grinch is the nephew of Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel. The Tigers went 23-5 while Grinch was a member of the staff. His salary in 2014 was $251,000. His safeties combined to intercept six passes, including four by second-team All-SEC player Braylon Webb. The WSU secondary intercepted just one pass in 2014. “I’m excited to join the Washington State football program and thank coach Leach for the opportunity,” said Grinch in the same release. “It’s time to get to work to produce a defense that Cougar fans can be proud of.”

The Huskies could go soon after, as the MLSsoccer.com mock draft projects Roldan going to New York City FC with the second overall selection. “I just want to end up at a team that has confidence and the belief that I will be successful with their team,” Roldan said this week from the MLS Combine

tried to settle down. “It was awesome. We were looking forward to this game for awhile and with the amazing crowd that we had it was just a super-good feeling,” said Lynnwood junior Jordyn Edwards. “It was amazing. I was a little bit nervous.” Edwards led all scorers with 17 points. But it was her defense — where she grabbed five steals — that really helped Lynnwood down the stretch. “She is just a force on the defensive end,” said Everett Edwards, Jordyn’s father. “She sets the tone for us defensively. We love the fact that she’s able to score and she’s a great passer but her defense is just tenacious and sets the tone for our team.” The younger Edwards enjoys making a difference on the defensive side of the ball. “I love defense. It’s my favorite part of basketball,” Jordyn Edwards said. “I try to anticipate passes and see where the ball is going. I love that part of the game.” Mikayla Pivec had another strong performance for Ly n n w o o d notching a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. The star junior added

in Florida. “That’s the only thing I would probably ask for. I could care less where I possibly end up at. Obviously Seattle has been very good to me, but it doesn’t look like Seattle is a possibility right now.” The mock draft show Thoma going as early as No. 3 to Montreal or as late as No. 15 to Dallas. “I’m kind of anxious, a little nervous,” he said. “But it’s generally the greatest experience of my life so far.” There is no such suspense for UW forward Darwin Jones, who last week signed a homegrown contract with the Sounders. “He would have gone in

six assists, passing the ball with Glacier Peak’s defense bearing down on her. “It’s big to have everybody involved,” Pivec said. “If one player is being keyed on I know we have other people that can make big shots.” Despite the big win, Pivec said the Royals will continue to focus and work hard to reach their final goal: a state championship. “Just try to improve each day,” Pivec said. “The ultimate goal is a state championship and that’s what we’re going for.” Kayla Watkins led Glacier Peak (4-1, 12-1) with nine points and 11 rebounds. Watkins battled down low with Pivec and Kelsey Rogers and helped the Grizzlies outrebound Lynnwood 19-15 in the first half. “She played a great game,” Hill said of Watkins. “She will help us in a game like this because we’ll have a little more size. She did good on their bigs. Their pressure just got to us a little bit.” It was the first meeting between

the first round,” Henderson said. “Anything can happen in a three-game combine and players playing, but I think from what we’ve seen and the way Darwin plays, I think he would have stood out and gone pretty high.” Partly because of such early signings, Henderson projects this as perhaps the weakest draft class he’s seen. “I think some of the players signing, some of the players going overseas and different options thin the group out a little bit,” he said. “But there are some pieces in the first round that teams will be able to get and be able to build upon, especially the ones with the high picks.”

the two teams since a winner-toregionals game on Feb. 21, 2012 that Glacier Peak won 48-46. That season, the two were once again league rivals, with Glacier Peak winning the season series 3-1 (the teams played twice in the district tournament, with the Grizzlies winning both contests). Three of the four games in the 2011-12 season were decided by three points or less. Lynnwood and Glacier Peak meet again on Feb. 6 and Hill is hoping for a vintage GrizzliesRoyals matchup the next time around. “We get another chance at them and I like what we did the first half,” Hill said. “If we can play a full game like we did the first half, maybe it could be a little bit more competitive than what 58-33 looks like — 58-33 doesn’t look very competitive. But I think we were more competitive than that. “I’m glad we got a game like this thought. We didn’t win now, that’s fine. If we can win later, that’s great.”

put it, “impeccable,” going 8 for 8 on third down for 199 yards and three touchdowns, Wilson now has the highest postseason passer rating (109.6) in NFL history for a quarterback who has attempted at least 150 passes. Go ahead and read that again — 8 for 8 on third down for 199 yard and three touchdowns. That’s absurd. In six playoff games, Wilson has thrown nine touchdowns and just one interception, which came on a desperation heave into the end zone at the end of the game against Atlanta. And most significantly, the Seahawks are 5-1 in those games. Following Saturday’s win over Carolina, Wilson said, “Sometimes, I think I’m meant for these situations.” That would sound rather braggadocios if not for the fact that it’s also rather accurate. “Like great competitors, these opportunities really bring out his best,” Carroll said. “He has great habits and they come together.” Ever since Wilson led comebacks in his first two playoff games as a rookie, a victory in Washington followed by a loss in Atlanta, it has been clear that he possesses whatever intangibles lead to an athlete being described as clutch. There are some who argue that there’s no such thing as a “clutch gene” or whatever you want to call it, but Wilson’s postseason success seems to indicate otherwise. “I think that’s something that I tried to pride myself on,” Wilson said. “I think any great player has to be clutch ... You can’t shy away from those moments.” And what might be more significant for Seattle’s offense heading into Sunday’s game isn’t what Wilson has done in past playoff games, but what he has been doing over the past five or six weeks. With the Seahawks putting an increased emphasis on the quick passing game, Wilson has, more than ever, been deadly as a quarterback who can make a pre-snap read, find a mismatch to exploit, then make a quick throw for a big play.

the leg hurts, and his mobility is limited. However, his gameday production hasn’t been, as he passed for 316 yards and three touchdowns Sunday in Green Bay’s 26-21 divisional round win over the Dallas Cowboys. That performance caused Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to sound a bit skeptical about all the attention to Rodgers injury. “He only threw for 316, geez,” Carroll said. “That’s a tremendous accomplishment. He’s been a great player for a long time, and the great players have a way of figuring it out, you know, and how to adapt and get it done and still play. That’s part of why they’re great, whatever it is, the resourcefulness, to figure out the situations. They adapted. He did fine.” Rodgers’ receivers say they haven’t noticed much different. “We expect to get open on time and him to get the ball out,” said Jordy Nelson, who led the Packers with 98 catches during the regular season. “Obviously, what he can do

Wilson’s ability to buy time with his legs and connect on a big play when coverage breaks down will always be a big part of his game, but recently he is becoming a more complete pocket passer. “I think he’s in a growth spurt again,” said offensive line coach/assistant head coach Tom Cable. “Just his command of protections and putting people in the right place, using his hots the right way. He made a couple beautiful checks in the last game.” One of the best of those “beautiful checks” came on Wilson’s first-quarter touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin. Wilson and Baldwin both recognized that the Carolina Panthers were bringing pressure, which would require a quick throw, but would also leave Baldwin one-on-one with a safety in the middle of the field. With pressure bearing down on him, Wilson quickly floated a high pass into the middle of the end zone that left his hand while Baldwin was still at the 10-yard line. It was a throw that took anticipation, and trust, which have become bigger parts of Seattle’s passing game this season. It’s a throw Wilson might not have made earlier in his career, or one he would have felt the need to buy more time in order to make. “I think he does (make that throw in the past), but I think it comes out a little bit later. I think he wants to see it more sometimes, but he’s grown in the aspect where he just lets it go,” Baldwin said. “He trusts the guys around him, trusts his offensive line that they’re going to hold it up for him, the tight end, that they’re going to make their adjustment. And obviously he trusted me to throw the ball up well before I got to my break and trusted me to make the play. So I would say he would have made that throw, but not as consistently as he’s been making it this year.” Consistency added to clutch? That sounds like a dangerous combination for a quarterback who has already put himself in heady company when it comes to postseason play. Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet. com

with his legs isn’t as much as it has when he has been healthy, but I think he showed on Sunday that he is able to move around enough that he needs to.” Rodgers stopped short of saying the injury makes him a better passer because he is more likely to remain in the pocket. But he said he’s comfortable there as long as his protection holds. And the Packers’ offensive linemen say they always try to keep their quarterback upright — mobile or not, healthy or not. “I didn’t really move a lot in college,” he said. “I had a great offensive line at Cal and a lot of dropbacks, a lot of half-rolls and stuff; so it wasn’t like I was making a lot of plays outside of the pocket. A lot of times, I didn’t have to do a whole lot because of the protection. It’s just a matter of playing within your limits with the injury, and I’ve been pretty smart about it. I haven’t really caused a whole lot of extra damage to it, and hopefully it just keeps getting better until Sunday.” After the Dallas game, Rodgers said he is confident that he has a good 120 minutes left in him. On Wednesday he added the caution, “I just hope we don’t go into overtime.”

49ers promote D-line coach Tomsula to head coach

Mariota opts for NFL draft

By Janie McCauley Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Jim Tomsula made his modest head coaching start in NFL Europe, then landed as the 49ers’ top man nearly a decade later. San Francisco promoted its longtime defensive line coach to head coach Wednesday, going with a familiar face following a national search that took more than two weeks and ended right in house. The well-liked Tomsula is set to be formally introduced Thursday in a news conference at Levi’s Stadium. “I’m a football coach. I’m Jim nobody from nowhere,” Tomsula said in 2010. Tomsula replaces Jim Harbaugh, who parted ways with the Niners on Dec. 28 in what the team called a “mutual decision.” Harbaugh was introduced as Michigan’s new coach two days later following a successful four-year stint during which the 49ers reached three straight NFC championship games and a Super Bowl. “After conducting a thorough coaching search, and meeting with a number of outstanding candidates, Jim Tomsula clearly is the right man to lead this team,” CEO Jed York said in a statement. “Jim is a great teacher and a tremendous mentor who conducts himself with great class and integrity.” San Francisco went 8-8 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in four years since Harbaugh arrived in January 2011, and the franchise is turning to a familiar face to get the Niners back on track to chase a sixth championship. York said a day after the season ended he wanted to find a “teacher” to lead the franchise forward. Certainly a coach familiar with the operation was important as the 49ers build around quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is coming off a disappointing year. “I love my guys,” Tomsula said in a long sit-down with The Associated Press leading up to last season. “I have the best guys. They are just awesome guys from top to bottom.” With the 46-year-old Tomsula’s hiring, it is expected that defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and other coaches will depart given Fangio wasn’t chosen for the top job and got leapfrogged by Tomsula. “Our organization is excited to have Jim Tomsula leading this football team,” general manager Trent Baalke said. “We have had the privilege of working alongside Jim for the past eight seasons. He is a proven leader, teacher and mentor, and we look forward to seeing him apply his craft and vision to our team.” “Extremely happy for Jimmy T! Can’t wait to get back at it!” safety Eric Reid posted on Twitter. In the early ’90s, Tomsula worked as a sales rep for a medical equipment company, then delivered newspapers and worked as a night janitor and cut firewood to earn extra cash in his early coaching days with a young family. “It’s a good move. I look forward to fighting for Jim Tomsula,” said tight end Vernon Davis, who is a neighbor of Tomsula’s — their kids play on the same flag football team. “Tomsula, just the energy that he provides during the games and having a relationship with him, I can tell that (for) players, he’s one of those coaches players wouldn’t mind playing for. Just his spirit. He’s a good guy and a terrific coach. He’ll allow you to go out and do whatever you can do. He’ll put each and every individual in place to perform at a high level.” Now, if anybody might be able to persuade defensive lineman Justin Smith to return for another season after 14 years in the NFL, it might be his old position coach. Tomsula could be a strong influence on running back Frank Gore returning, too. Guiding Kaepernick will be a big part of the process. The 49ers’ offense was inconsistent behind Kaepernick, who completed a second full season as starter that featured too many mistakes and missed opportunities.

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman (25) was not targeted when Seattle played the Packers in the season opener in September.

Targeting Sherman How much action will Seahawks cornerback see against Packers in NFC championship game? By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Richard Sherman was bored. He was frustrated. Yes the Seattle Seahawks were beating the Green Bay Packers in their season opener, but over the course of four quarters and 33 pass attempts, Aaron Rodgers didn’t target a receiver being covered by Sherman even a single time. For a player who intercepted 16 passes over the previous two seasons, it was a tough way to begin the 2014 campaign. “On a scale of 1 to 10?” Sherman said Wednesday when asked how frustrated he was in that game. “Twelve.” With Rodgers and the Packers coming back to Seattle for Sunday’s NFC championship, one question on everyone’s mind is whether or not Sherman will be targeted this time around. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters in Green Bay this week that the plan going into the opener wasn’t to avoid Sherman, but rather that it was just the way things went. During his press conference in Green Bay, Rodgers said “I plan to throw to the open guy. That’s the way I’ve played for a number of years. I’ll go through my progressions and play the way I’ve always played.” He did go on to add, “It’s important to throw it to the right and to the left a little.” After that first game, Sherman had a conversation with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll that helped him get past that frustration and realize he was contributing despite the lack of action. Because Rodgers never threw Sherman’s way, the Packers’ passing game essentially was cut by a third, allowing safety Earl Thomas to cheat a bit to one side of the field. Rodgers also historically has some of his best numbers throwing to his right, meaning if Sherman takes that away, it eliminates

some of the quarterback’s favorite throws. “He said ‘don’t get frustrated, this isn’t going to be the only time it happens,’” Sherman said of that conversation with Carroll. “‘Treat it as a sign of respect. Just stay locked in, continue to do your job, and we appreciate your contributions. Don’t treat it like you’re not adding anything to the team, you’re not contributing.’ “Because that’s kind of how you feel after a game like that, you feel like you haven’t contributed anything,” Sherman said. “Everybody’s like, ‘man, that’s cool, nobody threw to your side.’ But if you’re a player, you want to make plays in the game, you feel you can help your team you want the ball coming your way more.” For Sherman, who has been targeted less throughout this season, a key element has been making sure he stays disciplined even if the ball isn’t coming his direction. “You’ve got to resist the urge to gamble and to try to force things to happen, to try to force them over there,” Sherman said. “I think when I was younger I used to do that a little more than I do now. Now I just do my job and let things happen that are going to happen. But yeah, you gotta resist the urge to try to get involved elsewhere, because that’s how you get your team beat in kind of a selfish play.” So what does Sherman expect in this week’s NFC championship game? “I honestly don’t have a good feeling,” he said. “I guess (they’ll throw at me) as much as needed. I don’t really have a gut feeling about how it’s going to go.”

Maxwell feeling fine After being limited to a few special teams plays in Saturday’s game because of illness, cornerback Byron Maxwell was back at practice Wednesday and said “I’m feeling fine.” Maxwell had been expected to play, but was experiencing shortness of breath, leading to Tharold

Colts’ McNary charged with rape Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Prosecutors have filed charges of rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury against Indianapolis Colts backup linebacker Josh McNary. Peg McLeish, a spokeswoman in the city prosecutor’s office, confirmed Wednesday that the charges were filed. According to the probable cause affidavit, two Indianapolis police officers said a 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man they later determined to be McNary of attacking her in the early morning hours of Dec. 1. Police, according to the report, determined the man was McNary after investigating a

cellphone the woman claimed she took from the man’s apartment. In the report, police said the woman also picked McNary’s image out of a group of photos. The police also wrote that when they arrived at McNary’s apartment to investigate, McNary said: “I know why you’re here.” The report said McNary claimed to have preserved evidence because he expected the police would be coming. McNary has been with the Colts for two seasons after finishing his college career as Army’s career leader in sacks and tackles for loss. McNary spent two years on active military duty to fulfill his commitment before signing with Indy in 2013. He still serves in the National Guard as part of his military obligations.

Simon starting in his place against the Panthers in last Saturday’s playoff game. Maxwell downplayed the seriousness of the illness despite the unexpected setback Saturday. “I had the flu, so it wasn’t too bad,” he said. “I was one of those things like, ‘I’ll be all right. I’m not going to die..’.. There was a bug going around, I probably caught the worst of it.” Center Max Unger, who left late in the Panthers’ game with an ankle injury — a potentially ominous sign considering he missed six games with an ankle injury prior to Saturday’s playoff game — was a full participant in practice, a strong indication that he’ll be ready to go Sunday. There were, however, two new names — tackle Justin Britt (knee) and defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (shoulder) — on the injury report, which came out after Carroll addressed the media, so no updates were available.

Rodgers is still dangerous One of Aaron Rodgers’ most dangerous traits, when healthy, is his ability to extend plays with his legs before making big throws, but because of a calf injury, the Packers quarterback is currently limited in his mobility. Even so, the Seahawks know that the likely 2014 MVP still poses a huge threat. “Yeah, he only threw for 316, jeez,” Carroll said sarcastically when asked about Rodgers being limited. “That’s a tremendous accomplishment. He’s been a great player for a long time, and the great players have a way of figuring it out, you know, and how to adapt and get it done and still play. That’s part of why they’re great.” Sherman agreed, saying, “Doesn’t take away much. That was evident the last game. In the last game, he puts that zip on the ball. He has quick wrist release anyway. He doesn’t always have to drive through his throws to get them where he wants them.” While Rodgers’ mobility is usually part of his game, his threetouchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys showed he can play well without running around. After all, as Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett notes, if being fast was a prerequisite for quarterback play, Peyton Manning wouldn’t be so successful. “My sister could probably beat (Manning) in a 40,” Bennett said, “but he’s got all those MVPs.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com

Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, whose bold moves and leadership on the field brought the Ducks to the brink of a national championship before falling short, is leaving Oregon early for the NFL. Mariota announced his longawaited decision to forgo his senior season on Oregon’s website. The team said he filed paperwork on Wednesday, a day before the NFL deadline. “I will miss being with my teammates,” he said in a statement. “Being a part of this team was something special that I will always treasure.” Mariota has been the humble leader of Oregon’s high-flying offense for three seasons. This season, the Ducks (13-2) defeated Florida State at the Rose Bowl in college football’s first playoffs, but fell 42-20 to Ohio State in Monday night’s national championship game. The 6-foot-4 dual threat from Hawaii won every major award he qualified for, starting with the Heisman, as well as AP Player of the Year, the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards and Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year. He set a conference record for most touchdowns in a single season with 58; 42 via pass, 15 on the run and a touchdown catch. His passing touchdowns set a Pac-12 single-season record. He also set the conference’s career mark for career touchdowns with 136. He threw at least one touchdown pass in all 41 college games he played in at Oregon, starting in every one of his appearances. And he’s one of just four quarterbacks in FBS history to pass for more than 10,000 yards and run for more than 2,000 in his career.

Buckner to stay at Oregon EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner will stay with the Ducks for his senior year. Buckner has started 23 straight games. He had 81 total tackles and a team-high 13 tackles for loss this season.

Armstead enters draft EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon defensive lineman Arik Armstead declared his eligibility for the NFL draft. The school’s website announced that Armstead filed paperwork to make in official Tuesday. The 6-foot8, 290-pound junior started all 13 games he appeared in this season for the Ducks, and was second on the team with 51⁄2 tackles for loss.

Prescott stays at Mississippi St. STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott has decided to return to school for his senior season. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder had a breakout season for the Bulldogs in 2014, throwing for 3,449 yards, 27 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also ran for 986 yards and 14 touchdowns.

USC’s Farmer enters draft LOS ANGELES — Southern California receiver George Farmer has decided to skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Farmer made little impact in four seasons with the Trojans, catching 30 passes for 363 yards and four touchdowns. After missing the entire 2013 season with a knee injury, he had 25 catches last season while starting four games.

Source: Raiders hire Del Rio Associated Press ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders hired Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio as their new head coach on Wednesday in hopes that the Bay Area native who grew up cheering for the Raiders can return the team to its glory days. A person with knowledge of the deal confirmed on condition of anonymity that Del Rio signed a four-year deal to replace interim coach Tony Sparano. Del Rio becomes Oakland’s ninth head coach since the start of the 2003 season. The Raiders have the NFL’s worst record in that span, having failed to produce a single winning season or playoff berth. Del Rio replaces Sparano, who was elevated from offensive line coach during the past season to

replace the fired Dennis Allen and had hoped to keep the job. Oakland went 3-9 under Sparano after losing the first four games under Allen. The Raiders interviewed at least seven candidates but only Del Rio got a formal second interview. He emerged as the favorite after Denver’s season ended Sunday with a playoff loss to Indianapolis. After meeting with owner Mark Davis in Denver during the Broncos’ bye week, Del Rio had his second interview in the Bay Area on Tuesday with Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie. This marks the second straight time the Raiders hired a Denver defensive coordinator as their coach. Allen spent one year running the Broncos defense before being hired by McKenzie in 2012. He went 8-28 before getting fired last season.

then I will say, ‘Wow, we’re not that good of a shooting team.’” They haven’t been quite that bad. But they certainly haven’t been good. Romar wonders if attention placed on other areas, like defense and rebounding, might be contributing to that. “I think sometimes if you’re not quite sure offensively, if you don’t have a good feel for exactly where you’re supposed to be, how you’re supposed to read every situation, it makes you think,”

Romar said on Tuesday. “Thinking takes your accuracy away. It takes your athleticism away. It takes a lot away when you’re thinking too much. Sometimes we may think too much, and then when the ball doesn’t go in the basket for a period of time, doubt can creep in. “Shooters have to shoot with supreme confidence.” The Huskies knew replacing C.J. Wilcox, their all-time leader in made 3s, would be difficult. But the players who did return from last year’s team haven’t picked up the slack.

refined just about every facet of his game except for his outside shooting. He made 35.6 percent from 3-point range last season. This year, he’s hit just 9 of his 41 attempts (22.0 percent). After a hot finish to last season, Andrew Andrews has been inconsistent. Mike Anderson is tops on the team at 39.5 percent, but he doesn’t shoot much. Two new additions this season — freshman Donaven Dorsey and junior-college transfer Quevyn Winters — possess the necessary skills to heat up from 3-point range. But neither plays much, and opponents now emphasize each player’s outside shooting abilities on their

scouting reports. Open looks are rare. Sophomore guard Darin Johnson has made just 5-of-23. It’s a team-wide problem, and it has been all season. Romar preaches shooting with confidence, but not for everyone. “There’s that delicate balance,” Romar said. “If you’re wide open, you think you’ve got to shoot the ball. But if you’re not successful enough, you need to do something else.” Like throw it inside to Shawn Kemp Jr. or Robert Upshaw — “we should definitely go to them more,” Romar said — each of whom shoot better than 59 percent from the field. Washington’s

offense is at its best when the Huskies work the ball inside-out. Emphasis on the inside. “It’s never acceptable when we shoot a contested shot early in the shot-clock from 3, and sometimes we do that,” Romar said. “And I would like for every one of those contested 3s probably to be thrown inside. “In a perfect world, if I could script it, Nigel continues to do what he’s doing, our bigs continue to do what they’re doing, we get back to guarding the way we’re supposed to, and everyone else, they don’t need to be Superman. They just need to be able to make open shots. And then I think we’ll be pretty good.”

A to Zzzzz guide to mattresses Important things for shoppers to consider before making the big purchase By Elizabeth Mayhew Special to The Washington Post

There is no better time than now to evaluate certain areas or items in your home, and one of the most important is your mattress. It directly affects your ability to get a good night’s sleep, which is tied to your health and wellness. If you need a new mattress (see list above for telltale signs), here are some important things to know before you shop.

Comfort is subjective What is comfortable for one person might not be for another. The best way to shop for a mattress is in person. Ultimately you can order your mattress from an online source, but first do your due diligence. If you are a couple, shop together, and if possible take your pillows with you.

keep your spine in the same shape as if you were standing with good posture. And never rely on labels to tell you which mattress will give you the right support; one person’s “firm” is another’s “rock-hard.”

Mattress fundraiser The Everett High School band is hosting a mattress fundraiser 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 24 at the school (2416 Colby Ave., Everett). Funds raised go to help the EHS band’s two upcoming trips to Disneyland and the Swing Central Jazz in Savannah, Georgia. Mattresses of all sizes will be on display and people are invited to come in and try out the mattresses. Order it in the size you need and get that mattress delivered to your home within a week or two. Cash, check and credit cards accepted.

Inside is what counts

Make sure you lie on a mattress for at least 10 minutes in your normal sleep position. A mattress should gently support your body at all points and

Basically, there are two types of mattresses: innerspring and foam. Neither is better; it’s just about personal preference. Innerspring mattresses, which get their support from metal coils, are the most common. Don’t let a salesperson convince you that a mattress is good based on the number of coils it has — it’s not important. What is important is the gauge, or thickness, of the wire the coils are made from, which affects the firmness of the mattress: The heavier the gauge, the stiffer the mattress; the lighter

the gauge, the springier the mattress. (Remember that the lower the gauge number, the more durable the wire is. For example, a 12-gauge wire is thicker than a 14-gauge wire. ) Foam mattresses are filled with a combination of natural fibers and synthetics. When most people think of foam mattresses, they are thinking of memory foam or viscoelastic foam that molds to the contour of your body. Expect to pay more for one of these mattresses — at least $1,000 for a queen.

More than just a name It is very difficult to buy a mattress based on name only. Manufacturers make minor modifications to their mattresses — for example, changing the exterior cover and model See GUIDE, Page D3

ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES | Terry and Kim Kovel

Unusual antiques priced on number of factors M

ysterious antiques and collectibles often appear in shops and shows. Price is then decided by how unusual the collectible is, how attractive it is and how it can be used. A recent auction offered this statue of half of a lady, from the waist down. The statue is life-size, 3½ feet tall. The legs are dressed in tights, boots and a cloth skirt. There is a purse that has jewelry and brothel tokens from the Silver Dollar Hotel in Denver. Those who go to casinos probably know that this is an old base for a special type of slot machine. The base-and-slot-machine pair is known as the Prairie Rose Saloon Brothel Lady. She is dressed in 1880s style, but Prairie Rose was a famous cowgirl from the early 1900s, known all over the world. She performed in the Irwin Brothers’ Wild West Show. In 1917, she went out in a blizzard to check on her animals, got lost and died. Her body was found years later. It is not surprising that the Lady was sold at Morphy’s Victorian

Casino Antiques auction along with many other gambling collectibles. Price: $3,000. Q: I have my parents’ kitchen table. I’ve used it all my life. Markings under the table and leafs look like “Abraham-Richardson Mfg. Co., Beaver Falls, PA.” I can’t find any information on the company. Can you help? A: Your table was made by Ingram-Richardson Manufacturing Co., not Abraham-Richardson. The company was founded by Louis Ingram and Ernest Richardson in 1901. It made porcelain enameled signs, sinks, refrigerator linings, walls, license plates and other items. The company was sold in 1965 and closed in 1967. Kitchen tables with enameled tops were very popular in the 1930s to ’50s. They are still very useful, and sell for about $350-$500 if the enamel is not chipped. Q: I own a tennis racket that belonged to my uncle, who served in the military during World War I and died at age 26. One side of the

handle is marked “Greenwood,” and the other side, “A.G. Spalding Bros.” Please tell me what it’s worth. A: Albert Goodwill Spalding (1850-1915) played major league baseball from 1871 to 1878. He and his brother, J. Walker Spalding, founded their sporting goods company in Chicago in 1876. By the mid-1880s, the company’s products included tennis rackets. Spalding introduced its Greenwood model racket in 1905. Antique and vintage wooden rackets are collectible. We have seen the Greenwood model for sale at prices ranging from $90 to $190. Spalding still is in business, but it no longer makes tennis rackets. Q: I have an antique scale made by The Computing Scale Co. of Dayton, Ohio. It has a barrel-shape top with a glass dial. The numbers from 1 to 60 are on the bottom of the dial. There are numbers for pounds and prices in the dial. There is a flat, See KOVEL, Page D3

here are many things you can do to boost home security, such as adding an alarm system or getting a guard dog, but unless you have working deadbolt locks and actually use them, your home isn’t secure, locksmiths say. Lance Cronk, owner of highly rated (on Angie’s List) Metro Lock Service in Portland, Oregon, says intruders use force to gain entry in a majority of home burglaries. “Because the locks or deadbolts are not functioning properly or they are inadequate, the intruder is able to kick the door in,” he says. A deadbolt is a type of lock with a steel bolt that

extends into the door jamb and strike plate of a door frame. The most common type is the single-cylinder deadbolt, operated by a twist knob on the inside of the door and a key on the outside. Some people prefer the double-cylinder deadbolt, which doesn’t have a twist knob and requires a key for operation both inside and outside the home.

Many burglaries are forced-entry According to the latest FBI statistics, there were 1.9 million burglaries in the United States in 2013, resulting in $4.5 billion in

property loss. Out of all burglaries, 59 percent were the result of forced entry. Residential burglaries accounted for 74 percent of all burglaries, and a majority occurred during the daytime. “You should definitely have a deadbolt, and it needs to be a quality one with a hardened steel bolt,” says Eric Ball, locksmith at highly rated Broad Ripple Lock in Indianapolis. For the deadbolt to function properly, the bolt must extend fully into the hole on the door jamb. The hole should be reinforced with a metal strike plate. If the bolt doesn’t extend all the way into the hole or if a

strike plate isn’t used, the lock and door frame can be compromised. “Typically when someone kicks in a door, it’s not the door that breaks, it’s the door frame,” Ball says. “You should use 3-inch screws to reinforce the strike plate into the studs of the frame of the house.” Even if you have a deadbolt lock on your door, it won’t make a difference if it’s not used regularly. Cronk says many homeowners find it easier to lock the doorknob and often neglect to lock the deadbolt. Ball agrees. “Doorknobs are for convenience, deadbolts are for security,” he says.

Single- and doublecylinder issues Homeowners should take note that a single-cylinder deadbolt can be breached if an entry door has glass panels, because a burglar can break the glass and reach inside to unlatch the deadbolt. A double-cylinder deadbolt will protect against this, and Ball recommends homeowners keep a key close by but out of arm’s reach. However, the doublecylinder deadbolt can be problematic in the event of a house fire because a key is required to unlock the door from the inside. Another solution may simply be to replace the

door itself. Many exterior doors are designed with security in mind, using reinforced glass or small windows far enough away from the lock to prevent a burglar from reaching in. For additional security, Cronk says, avoid hiding a spare key under the doormat. “Get a secure lockbox for your Hide-a-Key,” he says. He also recommends that new homeowners have their locks changed, because there is no way to know who previously had keys to the home.

Spotlight on heating systems

JANUARY Is All About

STAYING WARM MONTH!

Whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, fireplaces and stoves are second to none where coziness and comfort are concerned.

The cost of installing a heating system in a home and paying for the ongoing heating costs is a major chunk of a family’s budget. The purchase, as well as the annual operating costs and maintenance of equipment, can entail a lot of expense. Here are a few heating systems that combine savings with cozy pleasure. Fireplaces and stoves Fireplaces and stoves have no equal in coziness and comfort, whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, and whether they are built-in, prefabricated, freestanding, traditional or modern. Before choosing a heating system, compare the characteristics of different fuels and available models. Electric baseboards and linear induction With programmable electronic thermo-

Hardware

Radiant heating This type of system does not heat the air but rather the walls, floors, windows and furniture. All of these elements store the heat and then release it into the air, providing exceptional and longlasting comfort. This is an invisible heating system that can be installed in floors, walls or ceilings.

stats, electric baseboard and linear induction heating systems allow you to economize on heating costs without compromising on comfort. During the winter, each room can be heated independently.

Landscaping

Heat pumps, central heating systems, and other devices all have their advantages and disadvantages. Before making your choice, consider your specific needs and your budget. And don’t forget to take into account the environment — a heating system that is both efficient and green is possible. Some advice? Before you start spending, talk to the in-store experts.

PLANT OF MERIT

Help birds survive winter in your yard By William Hageman Chicago Tribune

SANDRA SCHUMACHER

Nandina domestica

WHAT: Nandina domestica This is a flowering evergreen shrub that is commonly known as Heavenly Bamboo. Not a bamboo, it is an upright growing shrub that produces white flowers in early summer followed by bright red berries in the autumn. The berries usually last through the winter and are a food source for birds. While nandina was grown for centuries in Chinese and Japanese gardens, it did not reach Europe until 1804 and has been a garden staple ever since. It is a wonderful addition to the winter garden and is a good choice for floral arrangements or winter centerpieces. Nandina is truly a low-care shrub, that needs no pruning or special treatment. It is content just being one of the silent workhorses of the garden. SUN OR SHADE: Nandina perfoms well in full or part shade. SIZE: Typically grows to 6- to 7-feet tall. SEE IT: At the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens, 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett www.evergreenarboretum. com, 425-257-8597. Source: Sandra Schumacher, special for The Herald

Now is the time to do something for birds. And maybe for yourself too. “One of the greatest benefits of feeding birds is that the homeowner can easily see what birds are using their land, and develop a greater appreciation of birds,” says Michael Ward, an assistant professor in the department of natural resources and environmental sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. So with that in mind, here are a few ideas to help birds withstand the winter weather — and maybe even provide some education and entertainment for the kids. Hold off with the pruners. If you haven’t already cut back all your dead vegetation from the summer — don’t. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, those plants — particularly the tall ones that will poke above the snow — provide shelter for birds. You can always tidy things up later — that’s why they call it “spring cleaning.” Repurpose your Christmas tree. Speaking of shelter, your Christmas tree can do double-duty till spring, providing protection as well as a food source. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension suggests placing the tree — stripped of decorations, lights and tinsel — on the south or east side of the house to afford cover from north and west winds. To secure it, put the stump in a hole or a bucket

of wet sand, and tie a rope from the top to a building or nearby tree. Then redecorate the tree, but with strings of popcorn, cranberries or raisins. The UNL Extension also says to add apples, oranges, leftover breads and pine cones covered with peanut butter and then dipped in birdseed. For best results, push the edible ornaments well into the tree. Coming home to roost. The Cornell Lab also suggests roost boxes. Birds will seek shelter in nesting

boxes in the winter, resulting in overcrowded conditions (they’re used as nests only in spring and summer). Besides, these boxes are for nesting, not roosting. But a roost box can protect any birds that nest in boxes: bluebirds, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches and small woodpeckers. A good roost box keeps the birds’ body heat contained and has interior perches, and can be placed on a metal pole or wooden post. They’re available in

stores, or you can make your own. The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife offers roost boxbuilding instructions. Kid-friendly adventures. Encourage the kids’ involvement in setting up a bird feeder and choosing the best food (good information on seed choices is available at allaboutbirds. org. Get a reliable field guide (the Sibley field guides are good and have versions for different geographical locations) or free app (merlin.allaboutbirds.

org) to identify the birds that use the feeder. Have the kids keep a journal and report their findings to feederwatch.org or ebird. org. Avian superfoods. High-fat, high-energy foods such as suet and sunflower seeds are preferable in winter. On a cold night, chickadees lose 25 percent of their body weight. And be consistent in your feeding, putting out seeds or suet regularly. If the birds come to rely on you for a constant supply of food, and you close up shop when a storm hits, they might not survive. Water is key. Just as birds need food, they also need water during the coldest days. Spring for a bird-bath heater to keep water from freezing. Embrace the circle of life. Raptors — hawks and falcons — have become more evident in urban settings. If you feed birds, know that some of your feathered friends could end up as that food. No reason to be upset; they belong here, and they need to eat, too. “There is not much you can do to either increase or decrease hawks in your neighborhood,” says Ward, who also is an avian ecologist for the Illinois Natural History Survey. “As trees get mature and people continue to promote small birds, hawks will come. ... (People) are concerned when a hawks eats a bird off of their feeder, but that is just a sign that the bird community is robust and not something to be particularly concerned about.”

name — for each retailer. This means that the same mattress will be sold by different retailers under different names and most likely at different prices. The best bet is to go with what feels good to you.

Skip bells and whistles Mattress prices can be driven higher by unnecessary special features. Some manufacturers say that wool- or silk-covered

mattresses help to keep you warm or cool — a claim that is questionable considering you are covering the mattress with a mattress pad and sheets, thereby eliminating any direct body contact. Similarly, don’t be taken in by the look of a mattress covered in beige damask or 800-threadcount sateen; you are going to put linens on it the minute it’s in your home. Warranties cover only defects that occur at the time of manufacturing. If a spring pops out of the mattress, that’s a defect.

Current prices Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

Most manufacturers recommend that you flip your mattress every three

months to prolong the life of the product and minimize body impressions. However the market is flooded with no-flip or pillowtop mattresses — those that have an extra layer of foam or other stuffing sewn on one side so that they never can be flipped. These mattresses, which have grown in popularity, don’t necessarily have a shorter life span, but they do tend to cost more. The other notable difference in a pillowtop mattress: You will probably need to invest in new

If a mattress starts to sag and lose its comfort after several years, that’s normal wear and tear. Don’t be swayed by the offer of a 10or 20-year warranty; they are hard to claim.

springs, like mattresses, wear out. If you lie directly on your box spring and it feels uneven, or you roll toward the middle, you know you need a new one. Be careful of trying to save money by buying just a mattress and doing without a box spring. The two are designed to work together, so if one is worn out, the other probably is, too. In a short amount of time, a new mattress will conform to the weak areas of your old box spring and reduce the amount of support and comfort you will get.

How to rein in gift-giving for twins

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi, Carolyn: This is the first year my 7-yearold twins are in separate classes and each has invited 10 classmates to their joint birthday party, some of whom know the other twin. Many do not. Family and friends who know both equally well will be in attendance as well. I am concerned some of the classmates will feel obligated to bring a gift for both, which seems unfair to me since they might not know the other birthday girl. Is it appropriate to say, “No gifts necessary but if you choose to bring a gift, rest assured you only need to bring one”? Thanks for your thoughts! — Gifts So, you’re looking at a low estimate of 20 gifts (10 + 10 classmates, each bearing one joint gift) and a high of 40 (10 + 10 classmates, each bearing two gifts), not including what family members give? We need, reflexively, to see that as disgusting. It’s a judgmental word, but one I’m applying to the culture, versus any individual in it. No kid needs 20 new nonessential things, and no family needs 40. Please social-engineer your way

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT around this. Here are three possible ways: Specify no gifts. It’s an etiquette no-no to put that on invitations but, again, I see materialism as the greater evil. Make it clear to your girls that the relatives and classmates who attend are providing the gift of their presence. By all means, also get your girls some gifts as a family — they’re 7 after all — but let the village off the hook. Or, specify that in lieu of gifts for the birthday girls, you’re collecting toys for (favorite apolitical children’s charity here, such as a homeless shelter). Have your girls decide from among a few local ones, and make sure they come with you when you deliver the gifts. Giving brings more happiness than receiving (check out http://1.usa.gov/177U67N), so, if you think about it, we serve our

children ill when we train them to expect a one-way flow of gifts. Again, some gifts from the family, at home, will suffice as something to unwrap. Announce a “grab bag” system: Have each guest bring a wrapped, unmarked gift — set a dollar limit, 10-15-20 bucks — to be placed in a bin at the party. Everyone who brings a gift can then take one home. This has the benefit of obviating the Goodie Bag, that cheap plastic pox upon parents of children under 10. Other suggestions entertained. And no, it’s not terrible to deny gifts to kids this age. They’re having a 30-ish-person party!

Drunk-driving fatal still haunts inmate Dear Abby: I am 42 years old and a divorced father of two. Earlier this year, I caused a fatal drunk driving accident. Once I came to and realized what I had done, I accepted responsibility and pled guilty to my crime. I have never before been in trouble with the authorities. I believe God has forgiven me. I know my supportive family and friends have also forgiven me. But how do I forgive myself? I think about it and cry daily for my victim and that family. I pray they will find some comfort that I am behind bars. I plan to volunteer and use my time to help others as I have done in the past, once I am free. I also plan to tell my story to as many people as will listen to help stop the senseless act of driving under the influence. I can never, and will never, forget what I have done. But I know I must forgive myself in order to move forward and start helping others. Any advice or suggestions you can give to help me work on forgiveness while I am in here would be greatly appreciated. — Unforgiven Inmate In California Dear Unforgiven: Something you can do while you are incarcerated would be to start a dialogue with the clergyperson who ministers to the prison population. Because re-entry into the larger community can be stressful, if substance abuse counseling is available, join a group. It might help you avoid falling back into old habits upon your release.

patrons purchasing a piece for their home or to add to their collection. We provide hors d’oeuvres and beverages for our clients and potential clients. Several individuals come to our receptions and heap food on their plates, often filling them a second time and sometimes a third. One woman has carried food out, saying it was for her husband who was waiting outside. (He must have been hiding, because I watched her get into her car alone and drive off.) These people rarely even look at the art, let alone buy anything. They just eat and leave. My gallery is in a fairly small community, so I don’t want to be rude, but how can I tactfully tell these people to ease on down the road? — Not Runnign A Soup Kitchen Dear Not: Have an employee monitor the food display, and when someone is spotted taking food outside or pigging out, have the employee quietly intervene. As for individuals who come to your gallery only to eat — and by now you know who they are — greet them politely and suggest quietly that because it is clear that your taste in art and theirs is not the same, it would be better if they shopped elsewhere. P.S. And if attendance to these openings is by invitation, simply stop inviting the offenders. Universal Uclick

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Jan. 15, the 15th day of 2015. There are 350 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Jan. 15, 1865, during the closing months of the Civil War, the Second Battle of Fort Fisher near Wilmington, North Carolina, ended as Union forces captured the “Gibraltar of the South,” depriving the Confederates of their last major seaport. On this date: In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1777, the people of New Connecticut declared their independence. (The republic

later became the state of Vermont.) In 1862, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Abraham Lincoln’s choice of Edwin M. Stanton to be the new Secretary of War, replacing Simon Cameron. In 1919, in Boston, a tank containing an estimated 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, sending the dark syrup coursing through the city’s North End, killing 21 people. In 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta. In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of War (now Defense). Associated Press
